A News Recap
My writers and I will be back covering the news on Monday, but until then, here’s a recap of some of the stories that emerged while most Americans were focused on more enjoyable things, like blowing their fingers off with firecrackers.
The big story all week has been some cocaine found in the White House. For some reason, many people leaped to the conclusion that Hunter Biden might have something to do with it. I don’t know why they’d assume that, just because he’s a known cocaine addict who’s been staying at the White House, acting weird and jittery in public, and now knows that he’s totally immune from prosecution no matter how much he deserves to go to jail. (Side note: Could the media please stop calling Hunter a "former drug addict"? Anyone who'd been there will tell you there's no such thing; they are "recovering addicts.")
Some people with inside knowledge of White House procedures like Kaleigh McEnany say they doubt the coke belongs to Hunter (I also doubt that he would ever leave cocaine behind.) But others, like Dan Bongino, claim it could only have belonged to someone who isn’t subject to top level security checkpoints, like a Biden family member.

Rep. James Comer is launching an investigation to determine whose coke it is:
Meanwhile, the White House is spinning like…well, someone who’s coked up. They claimed that we may never know who left that coke there (former President Trump suggested looking at the White House surveillance camera footage, but that was probably eaten by Joe Biden, who mistook it for ice cream.) Some pundits noted that they were able to track down grannies who took selfies on January 6th from a thousand miles away, but are already throwing in the towel on ever finding out who brought coke into the White House.
They attacked the press as “irresponsible” for asking about it because the Biden family wasn’t in the White House the day the coke was found (that’s a lie; they were.) They also claimed they couldn’t comment because it might violate the Hatch Act (the law against using your office for political purposes), which is jaw-droppingly nonsensical. Instapundit has a round-up of the ever-shifting evasions and excuses.

And as always, the media tried to cover for the Bidens by making the story all about the Republican reaction to it.

Personally, I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this story because (A.) I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that everyone in the Biden White House is on mind-altering drugs (that would actually explain a lot), and (B.) I suspect this is a convenient distraction from a lot of other things they don’t want Americans talking about, like the string of smackdowns just delivered to Biden by the Supreme Court, the efforts they’re launching to try to delegitimize the SCOTUS and find new sneaky ways to violate the Constitution, and the hysterical meltdowns over the rulings by various leftists.
So I will be talking about those things in much greater detail starting on Monday.

Best News of the Week
In the best news of the week, the faith-based, crowdfunded film “Sound of Freedom” opened on July 4th and grabbed the #1 spot at the box office with a stunning $14.3 million. It beat out Disney’s struggling “Indiana Jones” sequel by over $3 million, despite being in nearly 2,000 fewer theaters.
“Sound of Freedom” used a brilliant new marketing strategy called “Pay it Forward” that encouraged people to buy tickets as gifts or for those who can’t afford them because they believe it’s so important for people to see this film, and I agree. It tells the true story of Tim Ballard (portrayed by Jim Caviezel) who spent 10 years as an undercover federal agent busting child trafficking rings before forming a private organization to continue the mission of saving children. Here’s my interview on “Huckabee” with Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel, plus links to more info on the movie and how to get tickets to a showing near you:

Some in Hollywood are crying foul over the ticket campaign, but I suspect they’re really just upset that outsiders (especially Christians and conservatives) are making movies that people actually want to see. Meanwhile, critics at liberal “news” outlets were so triggered by the film’s success that they lost what little minds they have left, ranting that the film is a “fantasy” feeding “Q-Anon conspiracy theories” about widespread child sex trafficking. Just out of curiosity, when did it become a partisan issue to oppose sexual predators exploiting children? When the sexual predators became a deep-pockets Democrat voting bloc?
One of the most hypocritical was the Guardian newspaper, which has previously covered the problem of child sex trafficking rings, but now seems to be trying to claim they aren't real. But not surprisingly, the most unhinged might be the writer for Rolling Stone.
Then again, there are always America-hating, leftist ingrates who have zero appreciation for the freedoms and opportunities available to them in the USA, or for the rights earlier generations gave their lives to bequeath to them. Here’s another who is apparently unaware that if she hates the country that’s made her wealthy and famous that much, there are flights leaving to other nations every hour, including African nations run by black people. She might be shocked to learn, though, that some of those nations not only sold slaves back in the day but still have versions of slavery today, and they’re not very tolerant of women who speak their minds either.
America-hating leftist ingrates update
Speaking of America-hating leftist ingrates, wealthy socialist ice cream makers Ben & Jerry sold out to the Unilever corporation years ago, but to Unilever’s regret, it allowed them to remain as figureheads. That’s caused the company endless grief, like when B&J denounced Israel and said they didn’t want their ice cream sold on the West Bank. Then last week, they decided that the Fourth of July was the perfect occasion to angrily tweet that “it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it.” To make it extra patriotic, they said we should start with Mount Rushmore, and retweeted a blog post reading, “The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights.”
Ben & Jerry should’ve stuck to making “Chunky Monkey” because nobody found their new “Commie Mommy” flavor very appetizing. Reactions included calls for boycotts (“Make Ben & Jerry Bud Light Again”) that might have contributed to Unilever taking a $4.29 billion nosedive in stock value.
There were also many replies pointing out that these old hippy hypocrites should start by signing over all their corporate and personal real estate to local tribes. The tribe that once lived on land now occupied by B&J headquarters in Burlington, Vermont, is waiting to hear from them…
This also prompted debate on the difference between land being “stolen” and land being “conquered.” As the writer Streiff pointed out in a subscriber-only article at Redstate.com, all land since the dawn of time has constantly changed hands as the people living on it were conquered by other civilizations. That’s also true of tribes in America that were constantly warring and conquering each other. Even if we were going to return some particular patch of land to its “original owners,” there’s no way of knowing who that was because countless tribes drove each other off of it for millennia before the Europeans ever arrived.
