Happy 4th of July!
Even after 250 years The United States of America is still the envy of the world. As we all gather around to stuff our faces with too much food remember that this country was built by being strong, bold, stubborn and innovative. Half the population of our great nation will not make it to 300 so make the most of this year.
Even with California's issues one of the greatest experiences is the amount of fireworks that are let off in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. The sky lights up no matter where you are for a 200 mile radius.
Ribs, corn on the cobb and Smores today.
Happy 250th!

BREAKING: Justice Brett Kavanaugh just handed Congress a clear legal path to end automatic birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens. No constitutional amendment required.

Here is what happened. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a case called Trump v. Barbara. Kavanaugh voted against the administration and agreed the order could not stand. But his separate opinion may prove more valuable to this cause than a courtroom win would have been.

Kavanaugh wrote that the order did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment at all. In his view, the order failed for one reason only. It conflicted with a federal statute, Section 1401 of the immigration code, that Congress passed and Congress can change.

Then he spelled out the path. Kavanaugh wrote that Congress could amend that statute or pass new legislation. Lawmakers could create exceptions to automatic citizenship for children born to parents who are in this country unlawfully or only temporarily.

A sitting justice of the Supreme Court put the roadmap in a published opinion for the whole world to read.
Understand why the statute matters here. Congress wrote the Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship language into federal law in 1940 and carried it into the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The rule politicians call untouchable has been sitting in an ordinary statute for more than eighty years. Ordinary statutes can be rewritten by ordinary majorities.

For thirty years, the political class fed Americans a different story. They claimed birthright citizenship was locked into the Constitution and nothing short of an amendment could touch it. Amendments require two thirds of Congress and three quarters of the states, so the excuse worked. Politicians could wring their hands, mail their fundraising letters, and never cast a hard vote.

Kavanaugh demolished that excuse. He even pointed out that Congress has considered bills to change birthright citizenship for three decades and passed none of them. The barrier was never the Constitution. Congress chose the excuse over the work, year after year, while the abuse got worse.

And the abuse is real. Foreign nationals fly here on tourist visas for the sole purpose of giving birth. They collect an American passport for the child and fly home with a golden ticket. An entire birth tourism industry advertises this scheme openly, and smugglers sell illegal border crossings with citizenship for a future child as part of the pitch. Almost no other developed nation on earth hands out citizenship this way.

The Fourteenth Amendment served a specific purpose. Congress wrote it in 1868 to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee that no American could be denied citizenship because of his race. That purpose stands, and closing a modern loophole does nothing to disturb it.

The men who wrote the amendment never imagined visa overstays, birth tourism packages, or an open border used as a citizenship machine. Kavanaugh made this exact point. He argued that large scale illegal immigration and modern travel created conditions the Reconstruction Congress never envisioned, and that new exceptions can fit alongside the historical ones for diplomats and occupying enemy forces.

Now look at the math on the Court, because the press buried it. The headlines called this a 6 to 3 ruling. On the constitutional question, it was really 5 to 4. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissented outright, and Kavanaugh joined them in rejecting the majority’s constitutional reasoning even though he voted to strike the order on statutory grounds.

That means four sitting justices have now signaled that automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens is a policy choice, and policy choices belong to Congress. When Congress passes a statute and that statute reaches the Court, the ground has already shifted. This is the strongest legal position the reform side has held in a century.

Washington got the message within hours. President Trump declared that “No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!” and called on Congress to get to work. Senator Tom Cotton already has a bill, and Senators Cornyn and Scott have proposals targeting birth tourism. The Justice Department announced a crackdown on birth tourism visa fraud the same week.

Some Republicans, including Speaker Johnson and Senators Paul and Lee, still want a constitutional amendment. An amendment takes years while a statute takes months, and the Court’s own deciding vote just said a statute can do the job. Pass the bill now and let those who want an amendment pursue one on a parallel track.

So here is my message to every member of the House and Senate. The excuse is gone. Stop hiding behind a constitutional barrier that a Supreme Court justice just told you does not exist. Draft the bill, amend Section 1401 with clear exceptions, hold the hearings, and put every member on record before the American people.
Some members will vote no, and the voters deserve to see exactly who they are. Every politician who spent decades promising to fix this now has to show us whether the promise was real. There is nowhere left to hide.

American citizenship is the most valuable thing this nation confers. It should never be handed out automatically to reward lawbreaking or sold through birth tourism packages. The people’s elected representatives should set the rules, and the people should hold them accountable.

Justice Kavanaugh ruled against the White House on Tuesday and still handed Congress the pen. Our job as citizens is to make sure they pick it up.

Yes — it’s time to draw a hard line and defend our Republic. 🇺🇸

Communists have been clear about what they want: weaken the Constitution, crush individual liberty, and replace American freedom with government control. Letting people who embrace Marxist ideology hold positions of power isn’t “tolerance” — it’s a direct threat to the country our Founders built.

Our Founding Fathers warned us about enemies from within. And history has shown us exactly what communist regimes bring: poverty, oppression, censorship, and suffering. We need leaders who honor their oath, put America First, and protect the rights of the people — not politicians pushing radical doctrines that destroy freedom.

The American people deserve leaders who love this country, respect our Constitution, and cherish the values that made America the greatest nation on Earth. Supporting this ban is about protecting liberty, preserving our Republic, and putting America first. 🦅🇺🇸

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones is disappointed that Amherst, Campbell, and Lynchburg’s Commonwealth’s Attorneys have announced they won’t enforce the Commonwealth’s new gun laws.

Jay has long believed prosecutors should exercise better judgment.

Just not in text messages.

This cartoon is accurate because it says something that should not be controversial at all.

We are all Americans.

Not hyphenated tribes first. Not voting blocs first. Not demographic categories first. Americans first.

That used to be the obvious foundation of national life. You could disagree on taxes, schools, policing, immigration, foreign policy, and almost everything else, but underneath it all there was still supposed to be one country, one flag, and one shared civic identity.

But Democrats have spent years pushing the opposite message.

They slice the country into groups, rank people by grievance, pit workers against employers, pit races against each other, pit rich against poor, and then call it compassion. It is not compassion. It is power politics dressed up as moral virtue.

Race baiters need division because unity makes them irrelevant. Class dividers need resentment because gratitude, ambition, and opportunity ruin their narrative.

If Americans look at each other as neighbors, citizens, coworkers, church members, friends, and fellow countrymen, the left loses one of its most powerful weapons. So they keep the conflict alive. They keep reopening old wounds. They keep telling people that identity matters more than character, choices, faith, family, or country.

That is poison.

America has real problems, but the answer is not to tear the country into competing tribes and hand power to the same politicians who benefit from the chaos.

The answer is to remember who we are.

We are not supposed to be a nation of permanent victims and permanent villains. We are supposed to be a nation of citizens, equal under God, equal under the law, and united by a shared belief that America is worth defending.

If we let the race baiters and class-dividing Democrats win, we will not become more just. We will become more bitter, more divided, and weaker as a nation.

This cartoon gets it right.
