1) Vote NOW on No Tax on Tips
Here’s an idea: House Speaker Mike Johnson could call Congress into session and have an immediate up or down vote on exempting tips on tipped incomes of less than $50,000.
Trump invented the idea. Now Biden and Kamala say they are for it - after they were against it. The left hates the idea but normal Americans love it.
Pay for this by clawing back unspent COVID and Green New Deal spending.
Let liberals in the House or Chucky Schumer in the Senate kill it – to expose their fraud.
Mr. Speaker, Call for a Vote

2) The EU Wants to Muzzle Elon Musk
The European speech police are going after Elon Musk. In anticipation of his interview with former President Trump on X, EU Commissioner Thierry Brenton gave Musk a stern warning that he and his speech police will be "extremely vigilant" in monitoring for "harmful content."
The Commissioner did say they are targeting content that "incites violence, hate, and racism in the EU." So the EU policy is that Europeans should not be able to hear what a major U.S. presidential candidate has to say? We didn’t know that Trump Derangement Syndrome has migrated like a virus to the other side of the ocean.

These attempts at censorship and regulation have intensified since the EU passed the Digital Services Act (DSA). The EU says ([link removed]) :
The DSA regulates online intermediaries and platforms such as marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms. Its main goal is to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation... The roles of users, platforms, and public authorities are rebalanced according to European values, placing citizens at the centre.
What Europe needs is a First Amendment right of free speech. And what we need in America is better safeguards because if the Left wins, European censorship is coming to these shores.

3) Chicago To Go Full Soviet and Own Grocery Stores
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, the lackey of local public employee unions, has just completed a feasibility study that says his idea to build three city-owned grocery stores is "necessary, feasible and implementable." Nor is he alone. Earlier this year, the Mayor of Atlanta announced plans for a municipal grocery store.
Andrea Batista Schlesinger, who helped author the Chicago study, explains its approach: "Rather than figure out how to coerce the private market into serving marginalized communities, the city is entering into the industry itself."
In other words, coercion didn't work so we'll just take over.

It hasn't worked in the past. Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel spent $10.7 million in city money on a Whole Foods store, it closed two years ago. Four Walmarts also closed last year.
Of course, it's not as if Chicagoans are in danger of being malnourished. Federal food stamps are readily available to anyone up to 165 percent of the poverty line. The Greater Chicago Food Depository already provides more than 70 million pounds of food a year through 700 pantries. Johnson's city-owned food stores would just be another layer of bureaucracy.
Progressives love to talk about the "root causes" of urban decay. The "root causes" of food stores closing are violent crime, shoplifting, and soaring taxes and regulations. They are creating the very "food deserts" that progressives say the government must now spend oceans of money to solve.
If he really cared about Chicago residents, Mayor Johnson would prosecute criminals, put more police on the street, stop making excuses ([link removed]) for looters, and end his lawsuits against carmakers for "making their vehicles too easy to steal."
Our advice to Democratic delegates. Get out of your convention bubble and look around the city. You might learn some things that aren't on your party's platform.

6) Chameleon v. Kamala-eon
Chameleons are known for their ability to change color based on their surroundings. They are also known for their long, sticky tongues and their eyes, which can move independently of each other.
Kamala-eons are politicians, named after Kamala Harris, who are capable of changing by articulating one position one day and the next taking a totally different position depending on the audience. For example, "I am against fracking" when Kamala is in front of green audiences, and "I am for fracking when she is in front of business audiences."
Sometimes people get these two species confused.
