”America’s 250th birthday party is starting to look like one big money-laundering scheme, with your tax dollars funding PragerU propaganda trucks and our favorite foreign agent, Brad Parscale.
A decade ago, Congress set aside $150 million for America’s 250th and created a bipartisan commission to run it.
That commission has received just $25 million and is now begging for more. The rest was steered to “Freedom 250,” a shell LLC Trump stood up in 2025 and hid inside a National Park Service charity. It has pulled in around $80 million.
RIGHT NOW in 1916, British and French troops go 'over the top' at the Somme. An estimated 60,000 are wounded or killed within the first 24 hours of the four-and-a-half-month offensive. pic.twitter.com/udfJUe4qcC

4. Thank goodness for tech
🚨 WOW! Elon Musk just resurfaced this video of Chuck Schumer in 1996 saying that "the NUMBER ONE REASON" migrants come to America is to commit fraud and steal taxpayer dollars
"They can get benefits against the law because of FRAUD!"
a) Labour Wants asylum seekers to repay £10,000—but few are likely to pay. Oxford’s Migration Observatory expects it to have only a limited impact.
b) Citizen Vigilante—A Chronicle of the Near Future. This film isn’t about fiction or fantasy but about what we’re experiencing in Europe right now.
c) Europe’s Ideological War on Air Conditioning Takes an Increasingly Deadly Toll. Europe’s ideological hostility towards air conditioning has become a global talking point after more than 1,300 excess deaths were linked to the heatwave sweeping the continent.
d) Volkswagen as a symptom of Europe’s Industrial decline. As Germany is losing its automotive edge, France and Italy are facing overcapacity, Spain is exposed by its role as a production platform, and China is advancing inside Europe’s own market.
There are accuracies and inaccuracies in that song … no, I’m certainly not lonely, does not compute … how could I with all this incoming about now, all night? I do sing like a frog though. Pepe.
Wakey wakey, morning all. That’s my idea of a lullaby above.
(0405) This infuriatingly (in some ways) calm and civilised order of presentation on this blog in the midst of a tsunami of chaos and strife out there, orchestrated by very bad, bought people in key positions of power, can seem like the ultimate in tedium, the ultimate unreality, unable to face the awful truth but I’d argue that we very much see it … how else are we going to present it? Like someone losing his mind? This can also be seen in Tue 1 today, from NZ downunder. (0610)

a) French Parliament votes down ‘Conscience Clause’ in Euthanasia Bill. Once the bill passes, medical institutions will be forced to carry out assisted suicide duties, regardless of their religious or ethical objections.
b) France. A poll conducted by Consumer Science & Analytics (CSA) on behalf of Le Journale du Dimanche has found that 83 per cent of French adults are supportive of the notion of “negative immigration” in which unemployed, criminal, or otherwise delinquent migrants ar deported.
c) French President Emmanuel Macron has reportedly instructed his government to draw up proposals for new EU-wide taxes to help finance the bloc’s next seven-year budget, expected to reach a record €2 trillion.
d) The number of foreign criminals released from gaol hits record high in the UK under Labour. A total of 19,779 foreign criminals who have served time in jail now live freely in the United Kingdom.
This is a correct analysis of the problem. We are also facing the prospect of being forced into a war with Russia. The Russophobia promoted by our Governments and MSM for the last few years is blatant. The same people who lie to us about every other important issue.
4. Steve on the event of the Royal Navy Merlin
You’ll recall the Royal Navy Merlin helicopter that crashed near Sourton, Devon on the 3 June, killing all three on board? So sad but then I read in the paper about the state the Royal Navy’s Merlin helicopter fleet, and it ain’t good. Same old same old. It comes down to not having enough again so no reserve which means each one is worked hard and breakdowns are common. The fleet is unreliable. On top of that pilot/crew training is rushed to meet schedules that are unrealistic thus compromising safety. Flight Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher was on her final flying assessment over Sourton Down the night she died. Filmed last year here she is having a chat with former SAS soldier Phil Campion:
Lily-Mae Fisher’s journey as a Royal Navy Commando is showing at 1427:2 now …
JH: This is the moment where I hope it’s not so but Steve might take issue with me … hope not, but it might be so. Let me explain:
Many years ago, one of our regular readers at N.O., contributor in fact, fell out with me when he outlined the history of a female racing driver who had done wondrous things in men’s eyes, even won a race. She crashed and died a bit later and I made reference to Kara Hultgreen, female pilots in general … it was too early to write of USS Fitzgerald, that Miami bridge or of Blackhawks … and my line was that there was good reason they come a cropper.
One of those reasons is the immense pressure placed on women to succeed, to be promoted, being feted … mainly by men. In fact, men try to move the goalposts, turn a blind eye to failure, do anything for the girl out of abiding fandom of said girls. Men speak of just how well she’s done, women speak of overcoming odds and “succeeding” … you know the score. It’s summed up beautifully by Christy below here:
I watched at least the first part of Lili-Mae’s account and instantly, Christy’s words were being echoed. Lili-Mae was detailing how she’d failed, tried again, failed, tried again, kept failing until they moved the goalposts and she’d finally *succeeded*, ra ra ra.
Do I really need to labour the point? As well as those in high places willing this thing, trying to force a square peg into a round hole, was the collective blindness of squaddie men, sailors etc., all eulogising this girl for becoming what they, in their gallantry, desperately wanted for their fave gal.
Gals are capable of the most amazing feats, e.g. in gymnastics … better than almost all men, they often have superlative colour sense, they make brilliant youtubers … like a duck to water … they make brilliant agents in wartime. I adore gals as much as any man but why would I wish to force one of these darlings to her death, simply to assuage my own wants for her?
And the men in comments under her video were laying it on thick in their adoration. Yeah? How about her own knowledge of her own limits?
3. IYE corner
a. Kirschner et al:
“ On the US website for special envoys and representatives, Steve Witkoff and Massad Boulos are listed as special envoys to the Middle East. Witkoff is NOT an Ambassador, Boulos is – confirmed by the Senate. Kirshner is not mentioned in any capacity. Boulos is the Lebanese father of Tiffany Trump’s husband. He is the ‘senior advisor’ to President Trump for Middle East Affairs, however, to date his work has consisted solely of being ‘involved’ in African initiatives, in particular Sudan, Congo, Rwanda and Zambia. He owns and operates a trucking company in Nigeria where he lives with his wife.….”
Christians are being massacred in both Lebanon and Nigeria. Trump could do something about it, after all he said he loves Christians. He could’ve put a stop to the slaughter in Syria but he didn’t. All mouth and no action.

1. It’s only that knock on the door which can jolt normies awake
The mindset of “please, crocodile, eat me last” is all-pervasive and this below illustrates how Them pick off the obvious candidates first, e.g. the hunting licence gun owner, quite a sanguine curmudgeon who combined that with comments on *mm*gr*t**n.
BREAKING NEWS:
NZ Police turned up to my house this morning to confiscate my hunting guns, and to advise that they have revoked my gun license.
All because I have spoken up about Mass Immigration!
There are all sorts of things to say but one which struck me was how this was a well-ordered, middle class home in a good area, obviously with internet.
