CALIFORNICATION: [9:42] – Many people believe that Pratt had the 2026 mayoral election in Los Angeles stolen from him. Pratt points out the obvious, which is that it’s totally valid to question the obviously questionable results.

DEMOCRAT PARTY: The only thing they have in common is a hatred for the true God.

EDUCATION: Audrey van der Meer, a Norwegian neuroscientist, hooked 36 university students up to a scalp cap that had 256 sensors. Then, she flashed words on to a screen. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information all fired in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. But when the same students typed the same word, most of their brains went quiet.

Another study done at Princeton compared meaningful recall of information among hundreds of students. While watching lectures, half took typed their notes, while the other half wrote by hand. The handwriting group scored far higher on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

FLORIDA: Andrew Gillum was Tallahassee’s mayor from 2014-2018. In 2018, he narrowly lost to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 Florida governor’s race.

In 2020, Gillum was found at a Miami Beach hotel, intoxicated and passed out alongside a male prostitute amid vomit-soaked bedding. The prostitute was sent to a hospital; Gillum, who was not charged with anything, had reportedly paid the prostitute multiple times for sex.

In 2022, a federal grand jury also indicted Gillum on charges of wire fraud related to his gubernatorial campaign against DeSantis. The charges were later dropped.

Last week, he was arrested in Daphne, Alabama on charges of possession of dangerous drugs (meth), drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

TRUMP: Mary Anne MacLeod was born in 1912 in a remote, impoverished village on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. At 18, she sought to escape the bleak economic hardships of post-WWI Europe by sailing to America. Arriving in New York City with nothing but a single suitcase and $50, she found work as a domestic maid and nanny for a wealthy family on Long Island. In the mid-1930s, she met a young, ambitious local real estate developer named Fred at a dance party. The two fell deeply in love, married in 1936, and became the parents of the 45^th and 47^th president of the United States.

VATICAN: On July 2, the Vatican officially declared that the six bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) who carried out illicit episcopal ordinations have incurred excommunication and that SSPX clergy and lay faithful who formally adhere to the SSPX are in schism.

Under canon 1364 §1, schism incurs automatic excommunication. For lay faithful, this applies only to those who “formally adhere” to the SSPX; per a 1996 test with two elements: an internal one, freely choosing loyalty to the Lefebvrist movement over obedience to the Pope, and an external one, shown by exclusively attending SSPX liturgies rather than those of the Catholic Church. Occasional attendance alone does not meet this standard. All SSPX clergy are considered to satisfy both elements automatically through their ministry within the movement.

SSPX was founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who rejected Vatican II. The Vatican has been trying to bring the members of the SSPX movement back into full communion with the Catholic Church since Pope Paul VI.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On July 2, 1982, “Lawnchair Larry” Walters, a truck driver from the Los Angeles area attached more than 40 helium-filled weather balloons to an ordinary aluminum lawn chair, donned a parachute, strapped himself and his supplies (e.g., a pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, beer) to the chair, and cut the tethers.

But, rather than the gentle, low-altitude float he expected, the chair shot up rapidly to about 16,000 feet (around 3 miles). He drifted into controlled airspace near Long Beach and LAX, where airline pilots spotted and reported him.

After about 45 minutes aloft, he shot out some balloons to descend, got tangled in power lines during landing – briefly knocking out power in a Long Beach area – and was rescued, unharmed, and immediately arrested.

The event got massive media attention, inspired copycats (and even the sport of cluster ballooning), movies, songs, and more. His lawn chair is preserved in the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum collection.

ANTI-SEMITISM in CALIFORNICATION: An Arab Muslim migrant and former community college professor picked a fight with a 69-year-old pro-Israel protester.

Kessler fell backward on the concrete, busted his head open, and died due to the resulting brain bleed.

Last May, Alnaji pleaded guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter and felony battery causing serious bodily injury.

At Alnaji’s sentencing hearing this week, Kessler’s widow said, “There are no words to describe the pain of losing a husband in such a sudden and violent way. The grief is relentless. The silence in our house, the absence of his voice, his companionship, his love and the future we had planned together are losses I carry with me every day.”

Judge Derek Malan sentenced Alnaji to one year in county jail and two years of probation.

LIBERALISM: It’s also when you despise men, because of “male privilege” and “the patriarchy,” then demand that biological males be allowed to compete in women’s sporting events.

OBAMA: It’s interesting to note how carefully the news items are worded to direct blame away from Obama.

E.g., “Several subcontractors involved in the construction of the Obama Presidential Center have filed for bankruptcy, citing unpaid invoices and financial strain due to cost overruns and delays on the project. The disputes primarily involve the contractors managing the project rather than the Obama Foundation directly.”

E.g., “Contractors working on the Obama Presidential Center say they are still owed millions for work performed, and several have pursued legal claims or are seeking counsel; the Obama Foundation and the general contractor characterize remaining issues as contractual closeout disputes rather than outright refusal to pay. Reporting does not show former President Barack Obama personally withholding payments; the financial obligations and contests center on the foundation, the general contractor Lakeside Alliance and subcontractors, with some disputes already in court.”

These same news sources make a big hairy deal about how Trump was convicted of multiple felonies, ignoring the fact that the charges in question related to a bank loan he repaid on time and in full.

HOUSING: The millions of illegals that flooded across Biden’s open border caused rents to increase by 20%. To add insult to injury, because taxpayer-backed mortgage programs granted mortgages to illegals, they drove house prices up by 30%. Rep. Brandon Gill has introduced a bill called the “Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act” that would limit taxpayer-backed mortgages to U.S. citizens.

MAGA: Sugar is an addictive, mood-altering chemical that floods the brain with feel-good dopamine. Consuming too much sugar is linked to a scary long list of serious health problems like tooth decay, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, cancer, stroke, chronic inflammation, heart disease, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease.

The American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the following limits on sugar:

• Children under 24 months = zero.
• Children over 2 years = no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) per day.
• Adult women = no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) per day.
• Adult men = no more than 9 teaspoons (36 grams) per day.

Currently, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (aka, SNAP, food stamps) can be used to buy junk food that is high in sugar. In fact, the number one item purchased with food stamp dollars is sugary beverages, which account for 9.3% – roughly $6 billion a year – of all SNAP benefits.

Last week, Democrats invited Gina Plata-Nino, SNAP director of Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) to testify before the DOGE Committee about SNAP.

FRAC bills itself as “the leading national anti-hunger advocacy organization.” Coke, Pepsi, and the American Beverage Association not only donate to FRAC, but are honored guests at FRAC’s annual dinner.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The Supreme Court upheld West Virginia and Idaho laws limiting girls’ and women’s school sports teams to biological females, holding that Title IX permits sex-separated teams based on biological sex and that the laws do not violate the Equal Protection Clause.
