Bernie and Pocahontas are pushing Biden to begin a series of commitments endorsing free education, college debt forgiveness etc. These ideas are bait for the youth vote. What the youth do not understand/comprehend is that free "bait" comes at a high cost. First, it takes you into the world of dreamy expectations, second, it is bad economics, third, it increases a dependent society, fourth, it explodes our nation's debt that eventually destroys the nation's currency which results in high inflation followed by deflation and fifth, most important of all, free stuff surely could end freedom which, for some, is too high a price to pay for free stuff.
Furthermore, by the end of this year, because of the Corona-virus and the lock-down response, our national debt will approach, if not exceed, $30 Trillion and that does not take into consideration off balance sheet obligations, unfunded pension liabilities and the dire plight many states and cities are in financially speaking.
Oh well,it's only money and that means we can offload the problem on our children. After all, we have been doing that for decades and what's a little moral decadence when you are having fun?

Jury Duty Summons
Let this one sink in…. Last year 449,163 Californians received a jury duty summons to which they declined, using the "I am not a citizen, therefore I cannot sit on a jury" provision.
The source for jury duty candidates is the VOTER REGISTRATION list.
Think about that for a minute !

You have heard me rage about Soros' funding of District and Attorney General campaigns and now we have proof/evidence of two consequences:++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
a) He receives a big impact for a relatively small amount of money
And
b) His support goes to those who have no regard for our unalienable rights and constitutional dictum The District Attorney in St Louis is living proof and she received some $140,000 in funding and is a radical black woman
Also don't forget about the Atty Gen race in Virginia and the victory in Minnesota where the victor beat his wife prior to running and still won.
This is why I fear for our own Meg Heap whose opponent allegedly has received in the vicinity of $500,000 plus in campaign funding. Meg has been an outstanding public servant and there is no earthly reason why anyone should win against her except to introduce the Soros brand of radicalism whose purpose is to overthrow our form of government and to create discord.

I’m a Law Professor. Here’s What Happened After I Spoke Out on Black Lives Matter.
By William A. Jacobson
During his July 4, 2020, speech at Mount Rushmore, President Donald Trump referred to the “political weapon” of “cancel culture,” describing it as “driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees.”
Trump’s cancel culture reference was scorned by liberal media outlets such as The New York Times, calling such “culture war” comments a “straw-man version of the left.” Similarly, liberal writer Judd Legum dismissed claims of “cancel culture” as “something that does not exist.”
Yet cancel culture is very real, and it’s getting worse with the increased power of the Black Lives Matter movement. There are numerous documented examples of people being investigated or losing their jobs for criticizing Black Lives Matter’s origins or tactics.
Even left-of-center authors and professors, in an open letter in Harper’s Magazine, decried the growing “intolerance of opposing views [and] a vogue for public shaming and ostracism … ” They too were met with denials that cancel culture was a real problem.
Two regimes are fighting an ideological war in America today. But what side are you on? And how can you sharpen up on how to defend your position? Learn more now >>
This cancel culture has nothing to do with criticism or debate, and everything to do with silencing opposition so there is no debate. I know. I’m going through it now over my criticisms of Black Lives Matter.
I am a clinical professor of law at Cornell Law School. In January 2008, I founded the Cornell Securities Law Clinic, focusing on investment disputes, a popular and important niche for students seeking to work in the corporate world.
In October 2008, I founded the Legal Insurrection, a conservative law and politics website. My non-left-wing politics, though separate from my teaching, sometimes led to attacks on my job. There were threats, harassment, and demands I be fired for the first several years of the website, but those always came from off campus—until now.
That all changed when I wrote two blog posts the first week of June 2020, criticizing Black Lives Matter as riots and looting spread around the country after the death of George Floyd. Now, I am facing cancel culture from within the law school.
In one blog post, I documented how the “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” founding narrative of Black Lives Matter was fabricated after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Even the Obama Justice Department found that Brown was shot after attacking a police officer, and did not have his hands raised in surrender or say, “Don’t shoot.”
Yet to this day, I pointed out, Black Lives Matter protesters chant, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!”
I wrote a second blog post harshly criticizing the riots and looting. I argued that such violence reflected a movement “led by anti-American, anti-capitalist activists … [who] have concocted a false narrative of mass murder of Blacks at the hands of police, when the statistics show otherwise.” I called on the federal government to track down “people who helped coordinate the violence.”
Whether people at Cornell agreed with my off-campus politics is beside the point. The purpose of education, particularly law school education, is to be able to debate the merits of arguments and through that debate come to a better understanding. But that is not what happened.
The response was a paradigm of cancel culture. There was a coordinated email and petition campaign by alumni to get me fired.
A group of 21 of my colleagues in the clinical program then denounced me in a letter to The Cornell Daily Sun student newspaper. While my name was not used in the letter, it was shared with students in advance of publication as a denunciation of me.
The letter falsely accused me of supporting “institutionalized racism and violence” and threatened to “continue to expose and respond to racism masquerading as informed commentary.”
Not one of the 21 signatories, some of whom had been my colleagues for more than a decade and I considered friends, approached me with any concerns before running to the school newspaper and sharing their letter with students. It was reminiscent of so many revolutionary movements, where friends and neighbors rush to denounce each other.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, hardly a political conservative, criticized my colleagues, writing that their letter was “a chilling reminder of the rapid loss of free speech values on campuses,” not allowing that “critics of these protests could have anything other than racist motivations.”
Turley noted the intimidation factor, since “[t]o be labelled as a racist is devastating to an academic career and these professors know that … It is not just the death of free speech but our intellectual mission on university and college campuses.”
The dean of Cornell Law School also denounced me in an institutional statement that promised no adverse employment action because of my academic freedom and job security, but gratuitously found that my writings “do not reflect the values of Cornell Law School” as the dean has “articulated them.”
The administration never gave me an opportunity to be heard on that damaging accusation, much less a process to challenge it. That statement serves as a warning to unprotected faculty, staff, and students who may disagree with Black Lives Matter to keep their views to themselves.
Student groups have also joined this cancel culture. A coalition of about a dozen student clubs are boycotting my course and called on other students to do the same. They effectively have created a virtual picket line other students must cross. One of the groups even called on the law school “to critically examine the views of the individuals they intend to employ,” reflecting a desire for uniformity of opinion.
I offered to publicly debate a student representative and a faculty member of their choice, but that offer was rejected. They don’t want to criticize me. They want to silence criticism of Black Lives Matter.
While I refuse to be silenced, others are not able to risk such career pressure.
Although I am the target, students and free expression are the real victims. I have received many emails from students telling me that I have a lot of “quiet” support among students, but that they are afraid to speak up for fear of the professional or social consequences. Cancel culture has created this atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
Trump was right about cancel culture, and so were the Harper’s letter signatories. Cancel culture is real and getting worse due to Black Lives Matter orthodoxy.

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today it received 136 pages of emails between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page. They include heavily redacted emails showing Strzok, Page and top bureau officials in the days prior to and following President Donald Trump’s inauguration discussing a White House counterintelligence briefing that could “play into” the FBI’s “investigative strategy.”

By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun
“Israel’s attack on Osirak was a major mistake,” the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Hans Blix, told me a while back. Mr. Blix, a Swede, had then just ended his stint as top United Nations arms inspector in Iraq.
While Israel’s storied Operation Opera destroyed Saddam Hussein’s atomic plant In 1981, he said, it then motivated the Iraqi strongman to vigorously renew efforts to obtain a bomb, a headache for the non-proliferation community.
There is, though, a counter argument, one that is highly relevant right now. “To this day Iraq doesn’t have a nuclear weapon,” says Ephraim Asculai, an Israeli who had worked as an IAEA official in the 1980s. Saddam, Mr. Asculai told me, tried to revive his nuclear program, but he then got sidetracked, invading Kuwait and getting bogged down in confrontations that led to his demise — with no nukes in hand.
The pursuit of a bomb by the Assad clan at Syria ended similarly, never to be rebuilt, after Israel, in 2007, bombed its nascent nuclear facility in Deir ez-Zor. Iran’s nuclear program suffered a setback in 2010, after a joint Israeli-American cyber attack, Stuxnet, slowed its centrifuge production.
Five years ago, America changed its own strategy, collaborating with the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, plus Germany, in negotiating with the Islamic Republic the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The deal’s promise — stopping Tehran’s nuclear ambitions via diplomacy — is now fizzling. At the same time, the non-diplomatic approach once again looks promising.
To a degree that is hard to ignore, Tehran is blaming Israel and America for a series of explosions and fires that have shaken the country in the last couple of weeks. Jerusalem, as customary, won’t comment. An anonymous Mideastern intelligence source, though, is making the rounds, telling American reporters that Israel is responsible for, if nothing else, a July 2 explosion at Natanz that targeted a factory where Iran is building a new generation of centrifuges to speed up its enrichment capabilities.
There were other mishaps, including a June 22 explosion that damaged an Iranian missile production factory. And on Wednesday fire erupted at a port in Bushehr, setting ablaze at least four ships. Israel’s press reports that the target was vessels Iran uses to ship illicitly missiles and other arms to its regional proxies.
The Natanz explosion reportedly delayed the advanced centrifuge project by at least two years. The project, Mr. Asculai reckons, would have given Iran the ability to produce up to four bombs a year. He warns, however, that the bombing was far from a decisive blow.
Iran might rely on the older generation of centrifuges while it tries to reinstate faster enrichment capabilities. Yet as the past attacks on Iraqi and Syrian facilities show, and contrary to Mr. Blix’s objection to non-proliferation by military means, destroyed facilities are hard to rebuild.
Yes, Tehran turns to China for help, but besieged by crumbling infrastructure, a collapsed economy and increasingly angry Iranian people, the clerical regime’s survival is far from guaranteed.
For now, Tehran officials await the November election before deciding on their next moves. If Vice President Biden wins the presidency, America should “immediately re-engage in nuclear diplomacy with Iran,” a top foreign policy adviser to the presumptive Democratic nominee, Jacob Sullivan, said in May. Mr. Sullivan, formerly a top JCPOA negotiator, added, however, that a Biden administration may first keep the sanctions President Trump reinstated after dropping out of the deal, and renegotiate the JCPOA’s “sunset” clauses that, at the moment, gradually remove restrictions.
While in the primaries the former veep campaigned as a foreign policy centrist, Mr. Biden is now under constant pressure from Democrats to his left. That means his Iran policy, for now, remains a mystery. Current events suggest that, if elected, Mr. Biden should ignore those who push him for Iran appeasement.
The Obama administration tried to end Iran's race to the bomb by negotiations. Anything else, they warned, means “war.” Yet Israel’s pinpoint attacks on Iraqi and Syrian nuclear projects haven’t lead to an all-out war. They did deprive the region’s worst actors from obtaining the worst weapons.

California School Boards Support
Anti-Semitic Curriculum Lauding
Omar, Tlaib, Sarsour Wonder why
schools breed American-haters?
Here’s why. Robert Spencer
Posted By Ruth King
A Leftist protester in Portland recently announced that the goal of the riots that have recently swept the nation is the “abolition of the United States as we know it,” to the applause of her audience (which included not just miseducated children, but a middle-aged priest who should have known better). Rioters around the country, who are overwhelmingly young, middle-class Americans, have made abundantly clear their incandescent hatred for the United States. In the midst of all this, the California Department of Education has given us a vivid illustration of how we got here. It has developed an “Ethnic Studies” curriculum that would make Josef Goebbels proud.
The Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported Thursday that “more than a dozen California school boards have adopted resolutions in support of the state’s proposed ethnic-studies model curriculum, despite it have come under fire for containing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content, and not addressing issues of anti-Semitism or including Jewish Americans.”
It’s all happening under the cover of darkness, deception, and coronavirus distraction, thanks to a group called “Save CA Ethnic Studies.” A letter to the California Department of Education (CDE) protesting the curriculum states: “School board members asked to vote on the resolution are not shown the original draft curriculum, and not informed about the enormous outpouring of criticism it engendered or that a CDE process is well underway for the curriculum’s redesign.”
The letter adds that school board members are “led to believe that in voting for the resolution they are showing support for AB-2016 and affirming the importance of ethnic studies classes in general, rather than endorsing the highly controversial draft curriculum that was condemned by dozens of state leaders and tens of thousands of Californians.”
The curriculum could have been devised in the editorial offices of Der Stürmer. According to JNS, “the proposed curriculum section on ‘Arab American Studies Course Outline’ contains a number of passages concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as ‘Direct Action Front for Palestine and Black Lives Matter,’ ‘Call to Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel’ and ‘Comparative Border Studies: Palestine and Mexico.’”
As if that weren’t enough, the curriculum “also includes studying national figures such as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) [pictured together above], the late Columbia University professor Edward Said, Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour, the late radio personality Casey Kasem, actress Alia Shawkat and the late White House correspondent Helen Thomas—all of whom are associated with anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric, and in the case of the congresswomen, a push to enact legislation punishing Israel.”
Even in California, this far-Left propaganda has aroused controversy. Nevertheless, “despite the ongoing debate over the ethnic-studies curriculum, at least 13 school boards in the state have recently passed resolutions affirming their support for the ethnic-studies model curriculum draft: Hayward (April 22), Castro Valley (April 23), Albany (April 28), San Francisco (April 28), West Contra Costa (May 6), Alhambra (May 19), Oakland (May 27), South San Francisco (May 28), Jefferson Union (June 2), Jefferson Elementary (June 17), San Mateo Foster City (June 18), El Monte Union (June 24) and Santa Rosa City Schools (July 8).”
Nor is this proposed curriculum remotely singular. The commitment to “multiculturalism” that has now taken over K-12 education in America has been a godsend for Muslims in particular who are anxious to use schools and textbooks not just to preach hatred of Jews and Israel, but to proselytize for Islam. Worried about appearing insufficiently “tolerant” and “inclusive,” too many public schools and individual teachers have succumbed to an organized campaign by U.S.-based Islamic organizations and their primary benefactor, Saudi Arabia, to present a view of Islam that whitewashes its violent history and intolerant doctrines.
Combine this with the deeply-rooted Leftist bias of curriculum material, and it is no surprise that American children graduate from all too many high schools, colleges and universities hating not just Israel, but their own country and heritage. It creates a population that is rife for insurrection. What we’re seeing now is the outcome of years, indeed decades, of this hard-Left, anti-American indoctrination. When the Left took over our educational system, what other outcome did anyone expect?
