Arizona Drops Nike Investment After Betsy Ross Shoe Is Scrapped
Arizona Drops Nike Investment After Betsy Ross Shoe Is Scrapped:
“Nike has made its decision, and now we’re making ours. I’ve ordered the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars under their discretion that the State was providing for the company to locate here,” he continued. “Arizona’s economy is doing just fine without Nike. We don’t need to suck up to companies that consciously denigrate our nation’s history.”

Harvard Law Professor Says Pro-Life Christians Should be Treated Like Nazis | LifeNews.com
"Every day, it seems, the United States is becoming a more hostile environment for people with pro-life and conservative positions.
...A recent article by Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet on the blog Balkinization calls for liberals to pursue even more aggressive measures against conservatives and pro-lifers, according to a new column by The Heritage Foundation’s Ryan T. Anderson.
Anderson wrote at The Daily Signal:
...Tushnet blames what he calls the “culture wars” on conservatives, and he says liberals should now make conservatives pay.
“The culture wars are over; they lost, we won,” he writes in italics.
Tushnet claims that conservatives “had opportunities to reach a cease fire, but rejected them in favor of a scorched earth policy.”
… Tushnet makes it clear that he and his colleagues among the liberal elite want the government to treat conservative Christians worse than racists—like Nazis.
Tushnet said liberals should take a strong “hard line (‘You lost, live with it’)” approach to conservatives, including all pro-lifers (some liberals also oppose abortion), not allowing any “accommodations” or compromises..."

California is first state to ban hair discrimination with 'Crown Act'SAN FRANCISCO — California on Wednesday became the first state to protect citizens from discrimination based on hair style, a law that is being greeted with both enthusiasm and a touch of dismay by people of color.

BUT DON’T QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISM
Instapundit Blog Archive-- BUT DON’T QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISMGallup: Pride in being an American reaches modern low — thanks to rock-bottom numbers from Democrats.
“The current Democratic numbers are less than half what they were during the darkest days of the Iraq war.
I blogged during that period and, let me tell you, I never dreamed that Democratic animosity towards a Republican president would be worse than it was then.”
Bush Derangement Syndrome was a pale shadow of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Plus: “In lieu of an exit question, here’s a Trump-sized dook that was dropped on the NYT op-ed page yesterday because, I guess, there’s only one mood a right-thinking liberal newspaper can properly have when Independence Day rolls around.

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Steven Mason shared a link.
"The Left makes death threats against 8-year-olds and their families.
This IS what they do.
This is who they are.
This is how they will treat you if you oppose them--and they ascend to power.
Emphasis on "power."
And on the fascist Left, which has taken over the Democratic Party and captivated those without life experience."

America has established itself as a force for good and a beacon of freedom - Washington Times
America has established itself as a force for good and a beacon of freedom - Washington Times- Kay Coles James"This week, as Americans commemorate Independence Day and the creation of the most free, most prosperous nation on earth, we will inevitably hear from those who say there’s no reason to celebrate a country where not everyone gained their freedom or their equality in 1776.
They will say that a nation stained with the evil of slavery, a nation that once refused women and blacks the right to vote or hold property, isn’t a nation worth lauding.
As a woman and as a black person who lived through segregation, I have experienced both the inequality and the opportunity of this nation.
As a student of history and as someone who works with governments around the world, I know how women and minorities are treated in other societies compared to the United States.
Because of these experiences, I want to tell you exactly why America is worth celebrating..."

Hassan Likely Didn’t Notify Constituents Whose Data May Have Been Exposed, Despite Pushing Law Requiring It For Companies | The Daily Caller
Hassan Likely Didn’t Notify Constituents Whose Data May Have Been Exposed, Despite Pushing Law Requiring It For Companies | The Daily Caller:
One of Hassan’s key issues in the Senate has been requiring companies to notify Americans whose personal information they fail to protect. Hassan sponsored a federal law to that end, but it has not passed.
A 2006 New Hampshire law enacted while Hassan was a state legislator requires “any person doing business in this state” to notify anyone whose private data they possess if their systems are hacked, exposing individuals’ data such as social security numbers. It is a crime to knowingly disregard the statute.

"Born in Russia, Ayn Rand was an American by choice and conviction.
For profound reasons, she regarded the United States of America as “the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world.”
She once said: “If it is ever proper for men to kneel, we should kneel when we read the Declaration of Independence.”

...On July 4, we commemorate political independence from England and pay tribute to the Founders’ moral vision of the sovereign individual who deserves freedom to live by his own independent judgment.
But to achieve that ideal in the twenty-first century, we desperately need Ayn Rand’s perspective on individual rights and how government can protect them.
Here are some resources for those who want to explore the deeper significance of Independence Day:
- Ayn Rand on “America” and the “Founding Fathers” (from The Ayn Rand Lexicon)
- Ayn Rand’s essays on “Man’s Rights” and “The Nature of Government” (here)

The Meaning of American Citizenship | The Heritage Foundation
The Meaning of American Citizenship | The Heritage Foundation:
Today, regrettably, the meaning of American citizenship is distorted by ideology. Ideas sound in themselves have been pushed beyond reasonable limits. Principles have degenerated into slogans. We live in an age that venerates equality and is preoccupied with individual rights. Accordingly, we tend to think of citizenship purely in terms of the equal sharing in individual rights. We live in an age that celebrates diversity and inclusion. We accordingly think that citizenship should be extended to practically anybody without any limitations.

"Queens is about to get a heckuva lot more pervert-friendly...
Scaring the stuffing out of a wide swath of residents of a borough already plagued with an enormous number of working girls, boys and transgender individuals is the apparent Democratic primary victory this week of Tiffany Cabán for district attorney, which pretty much makes the self-described “queer Latina’’ and BFF of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a shoo-in.
Problem is, the 31-year-old democratic socialist is so enamored with the world’s oldest profession, she promised to stop arresting not only ladies and dudes of the evening, but the pimps and johns who exploit them.
In fact, she’s vowed to send a memo ordering prosecutors to quit messing with pros, their customers and promoters on “Day One.’’
