HOLD OFF THE DEATH SQUADS: Highly misleading coverage of SCOTUS immunity decision.

On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow warned that the Supreme Court had just unleashed death squads to roam our streets. CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen announced that murder was now legal (at least for presidents), while others predicted that the ruling on presidential immunity would invite “tyranny.”

Anyone reading the coverage would conclude that James Madison has been replaced by John Wick in a new “Baba Yaga” Republic.

John Wick for president? Oh, wait ... he's dead. I guess we'll have to go with Biden. He's not dead ... yet.

OH, THE IRONY: Leftists fret that Trump would refuse to leave the White House.

Leftists across the country have been pushing the same panic as the Biden campaign: If you let Donald Trump back into the White House, he will never leave! He’ll become a dictator and refuse to honor the end of his term!! Just like when he marshaled his army and attempted a coup d’état on January 6! And it just might work this time! … Because, you know, the nearly three million people who work in the federal apparatus, along with the House, the Senate, the U.S. armed forces, and the 335 million residents of the United States will all be helpless to do otherwise than toe the line and follow Trump's orders. It’s incredible what a handful of wacky rioters wearing horned helmets and wielding bear spray can accomplish.

I'LL CUT MY OWN TAXES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH: The Blue state wealth exodus continues.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures this one seems particular appropriate this week:

Now go see the rest. Trust me, they're good.

QUESTION: Why don't the Democrats care?

Because they are content to have our government run by anonymous White House aides and administrative state bureaucrats.

What do they need a president for? To issue Pride Month proclamations and appoint liberal judges? But anyone can do that. Thus, there is no obligation to talk about the fact that the president might as well be a waxwork effigy.

And as for foreign policy, they are embarrassed by American power and don’t want the U.S. to play a strong role in the world. So a weak president is fine there, too.

They are happy with government by people no one voted for because they are the people no one voted for.

AMMO GRRRLL: "Who are the 37 percent who, immediately following the debate, expressed the opinion that Biden had ‘won’ the debate?"

And much more.

THE LIES WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH: After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties.

Now what?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: California, the great destroyer.

California’s lesson for the nation?

If you want to topple a statue, re-label an historically named street, burn up millions of pine and fir trees, blow up a dam, turn parks and the public square into dangerous and toxic squatter cities, then the state can do all of that and in record time.

But try building something to ensure Californians can travel quickly and in safety, or have affordable power, homes, and fuel, and assured water?

All that is simply beyond the current state’s comprehension, ability, and desire.

So ... Gavin Newsom for President?

TRUMP CHALLENGES JOE BIDEN TO ANOTHER DEBATE -- a Lincoln-Douglas debate.

I FIND THIS A BIT HARD TO BELIEVE: The ten most patriotic U.S. states for July 4th.

Off the top of my head, there isn't one that isn't blue or 'bluish'.

FIRE THE CLOWNS: Biden Justice Department to continue witch hunt against Trump even if he wins election.

As soon as humanly possible.

Unfortunately it's the DoJ itself that are the clowns; so only we can fire them by electing Donald Trump.

THE TRUTH HURTS, but yes, the Democrats have gone stark raving mad.

ROGUE GALLERY: Meet the rich kids, professors, and activists arrested at Columbia University in April.

I think this says something about America's 'elites'. Don't you?

NOT A JOKE: Rapper on probation must run all lyrics by U.S. government in advance.

Also not a joke: the government is too damn big.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Biden will stagger on all the way to the election.

I'm conflicted; don't know whether that's good or bad for America.

AND IT'S ABOUT TIME: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas takes aim at Trump special counsel prosecutor.

WELL IT IS THE MORON STATE: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer claims those who think Biden can’t win Michigan are ‘full of s---’.

And she's the chief moron....

SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS FROM INDEPENDENCE DAY:

RETIRED U.S. ARMY LT. COL. TONY SHAFFER is amazed that Americans are willing to give up their rights.

It's amazing because the people who are the most willing to give up those rights and undermine our system are the ones who would be subjugated in any other system.

These are the kinds of people for whom 'eat me last' is a strategy.

A VERY GOOD QUESTION: It's July 4th, and Americans are burning our flag. Why are these people even here?

EXCELLENT! Rescued Israeli hostage suing a U.S. nonprofit linked to Hamas operative who held him.

WE NOW KNOW BEYOND QUESTION that competence is not a requirement for a Democrat candidate.

Even normal Democrats are now learning....
