ONE MORE SCOTUS BLOCKBUSTER TO COME
As TTPers have learned, overturning Roe v. Wade may not be the Supreme Court’s most dramatic decision this year.
Instead, its ruling on West Virginia v. the Environmental Protection Agency could prove far more consequential. It could literally upend how our government works.
For the better.
WV v EPA asks whether important policies that impact the lives of all Americans should be made by unelected D.C. bureaucrats or by Congress. This SCOTUS could well decide that ruling by executive agency fiat is no longer acceptable.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY USING YOUR SIXTH SENSE
We’re all familiar of course with the five senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch; but we have another whole world of sensation that is often overlooked… and it’s central to our power to change our habits – and our lives - for the better.
You’re already familiar with this “sixth sense,” and though it may still hold plenty of mystery for you, what I’m talking about is not something mystical or hypothetical. It is our felt sense.
You know it when you say things like:

IT’S NOT UP TO US TO PROVE ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED – IT’S UP TO THE VOTE-COUNTERS TO PROVE THEY AREN’T
Elections will not legitimize any government if they are rigged.
We must end the absurdity whereby a private corporation can be hired to count our votes and then refuse to prove to us exactly how it got the final numbers.
If the system is not completely transparent and auditable, you can never be confident in it. You can be completely justified in suspecting that it is fraudulent. When the public no longer trusts those who count the votes, then the outcome will be chaos.
The 2020 election was rigged, but it is not up to us to prove that. So what about the next election?
COLOMBIA COMMITS ELECTORAL SUICIDE
They did, after all, fight a 60-year war against Marxist narcoterrorists, with only a few university wokesters defending them.
So it was shocking news that on Sunday (6/19), Colombians went and elected a former M-19 narcoguerrilla named Gustavo Petro, president, turning one of the most conservative countries in the region to the far left for the first time.
The freak belonged to the M-19 narcoterrorist outfit that operated in the 1980s and 1990s, aligning itself at some point with Pablo Escobar himself. How could this happen? Here are a half-dozen possible reasons.
THE MAN IN THE OVAL OFFICE IS NOT REALLY THERE
We have a president who doesn’t even pretend to be working night and day to beat back inflation, save the economy from a recession or tackle rampant crime and growing political violence.
He looks to be on automatic pilot when the nation desperately needs strong leadership. Through May, the president spent 188 full or partial days away from the White House, on a pace to spend 553 days away over a full term – the most of any modern president
This is more than bad optics. It’s a sign Biden is tuned out and merely going through the motions of being president without making a fulsome effort to right the ship of state. He is the president who’s not really there.
BIDEN: WE MUST DESTROY AMERICA’S ECONOMY TO GREEN IT
The Left got what it wanted. Since January 2021 it has all but destroyed the idea of American energy self-sufficiency.
Yet Biden remains shocked that his long-sought victory to make fossil fuels unaffordable is despised by the American people, whose votes he now needs to stay in power.
So how does Biden square his circle of continuing or accelerating policies that ensure high gas prices while trying desperately to lower fuel prices before elections?
The Biden people have three strategies.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY SLAYING THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER
Envy is an ugly emotion with awful effects. Many religions forbid or warn against it, as with the 10th commandment in the Old Testament. Storytellers show its awful effects, we all know that it’s bad on a feeling level -- yet envy persists as a powerfully destructive force.
It isn’t about having very little; we aren’t particularly unhappy when we have very little. But we do become very unhappy, depressed, and bitter when we dwell on having less than our neighbor.
Yet there is an antidote to envy: empathy, admiration, and the effective redirection of our initial impulses. It can also help to more fully understand this destructive and bitter emotion.
TAMPON SHORTAGE SOLVED
Tampon Supply Shortage Solved By Emptying Out Tampons In The Men’s Bathrooms
In their desperation to find tampons, some women have resorted to entering the men's restroom and taking tampons designated for trans men.
"As a lady, I would normally never enter a dirty, disgusting men's restroom for any reason," explained Ann Elizabeth, "but I'm completely out of tampons while the men's restrooms are stocked with an abundance of tampons that haven't even been touched!"
According to sources, this simple trick of women getting their tampons from the dispensers in the men's room has swept the nation and completely brought the tampon shortage to an end.
THE SUBORDINATE CITIZEN
I recently led a group of about 100 citizens on a tour of Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry.
Contrast this to the tens of thousands of foreign nationals now mustering to cross illegally into the United States this summer, as exampled in the video above. They follow the already 2 million who’ve entered the country unlawfully since Joe Biden became president.
Does any foreign national worry about being tested for COVID-19, much less fear being turned away if he tests positive or lacks proof of vaccination?
Or do we scrutinize far more carefully U.S. citizens entering their own country legally than we do noncitizens crossing our borders unlawfully?

“Putin comparing himself to Peter the Great (6/10): ‘During the war with Sweden, Peter the Great didn't conquer anything, he took back what had always belonged to us, even though all of Europe recognized it as Sweden's. It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back.’ Beware when small men acquire great power and grand dreams. Putin is a thug, a petty thief and chekist who believes he is a mighty emperor. End his imperial fantasy now because his ambitions begin in Ukraine, they won't end there.” –Garry Kasparov, World Chess Champion
We must have the patience to support the Ukrainians. A strategically bankrupt, selfish and impatient French approach will only encourage future aggression.
The Ukrainians have fought for the right to determine how this war ends. We must give them time to retake all their territory and inflict a military defeat on Russia. If that also humiliates Russia, that is the price they must pay for their brutality, destruction and unwarranted aggression.
We must prove that the democracies of the world have the resilience, unity and perseverance to resist the coercion and aggression of all of this era’s techno-authoritarian regimes.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY WITH RITUALS FOR EXCELLENCE
William James 1842-1910
As the great American psychologist, William James said well over a hundred years ago:
“The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody of automatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision, and for whom the drinking of every cup, the time of rising and going to bed every day, and the beginning of every bit of work, are subjects of express volitional deliberation.”
Unfortunately for James, it turns out that the “miserable human being” he was describing was himself! Sometimes we can teach best what we most need to learn, and apparently James was quite good at that regarding habits.
So how do we establish strong, positive, and consistent habits? We create rituals that hold us to those habits.

The press has focused on the Dobbs case because the Supreme Court will use it to sweep Roe v. Wade into the dustbin of history. The ruling will bring a lot of emotion from both sides, as 49 years of prayer finally are answered.
Likewise, NYSRPA II will get a lot of attention because the association likely will succeed in ending New York's draconian restrictions on carrying a pistol to protect oneself.
However, the Supreme Court case that matters the most this year is West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. This is why.
COMMUNISM STILL HAUNTS RUSSIA
Russia is a superficially Europeanized society that sustained more than 70 years of communism. When the Soviet system finally collapsed in 1991, the result was not stability but a decade of near-anarchy. With such an inheritance, Vladimir Putin’s tyranny followed organically.
Mr. Putin has been described accurately as a fascist, owing to his cult of personality and ferocious ultranationalist assault on Ukraine. It is also true that Mr. Putin has been Soviet in his style of rule. He has amassed more personal power than any Russian since Joseph Stalin.
Many were naive when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, thinking communism was consigned to an irrecoverable past. The past three decades have proved to be a mere false start for Russia because the problems of communism are still with us.
TRUMPOLOGY
Back where he belongs?
Donald Trump has signaled he will announce his presidential intentions after the November midterm elections.
The disaster of the Biden Administration has been a godsend for Trump. Had Biden simply plagiarized the successful Trump agenda, there would have followed no border disaster, no energy crisis, no hyperinflation, and no calamitous flight from Afghanistan.
How ironic that the Biden catastrophe revived a Trump candidacy. Biden likely will cause the Democrats to lose Congress. His pick of a dismal Kamala Harris as vice president has likely ensured, for now, fewer viable Democrat presidential candidates in 2024.
So, will Trump run? Some logic might dictate that Trump not try a second campaign.

This is ostensibly a news story, not an op-ed. But when it comes to protecting the Democrats’ ability to implement a voter fraud strategy, the Times takes no chances. And neither will the Democrats in November.

The real title of Gates’ How To Prevent the Next Pandemic
There’s a joke being told in my house this week: Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend, a little-known and slightly autistic high school dropout named Bill Gates has a new book out this month. Perhaps you’ve heard of him?
Unfortunately, of course, we have all heard of him.
From Borneo to Boston, the entire world is only too familiar with the man who wants to inject you into the future. Bill Gates is the front man — the public face — of Big Pharma’s global COVID tyranny.
Who else would be dumb enough to evangelize that all of the world’s problems could be solved with the tip of a syringe?
That’s an idiotic message because it’s so obviously untrue. Gates doesn’t have any interest in people shaping their own future — he wants to shape your future, and he would really appreciate it if you’d get out of the way.
UNBLOCKING UKRAINIAN PORTS TO PREVENT MASS GLOBAL STARVATION
“Sanctions on Russia have no connection to the unfolding global food crisis. The sole reason for shortages, rising prices, and threat of hunger is the Russian military physically blocking 22 million tons of Ukrainian food exports in our seaports. Demand Moscow to end its blockade.” –Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs, May 28, 2022From the beginning of the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian war, the Russian Black Sea Fleet moved in to block or occupy all of Ukraine’s ports on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian ports is contributing to a growing human calamity that extends far beyond the immediate region.
“We are on the precipice. 10% of the global population may be facing mass starvation. You’re looking at a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions, probably the worst since the Black Death of the 14th century.” – James Rickards, international economist and investment banker, May 26, 2022
Around 70 merchant vessels loaded with grain and other critical cargo have been unable to leave Ukrainian ports for the past three months due to the high danger of armed attack from Russian forces (Fakty.com.ua, May 9). 22 million tons of food products, including grain, barley, sunflower seeds and more, remain stuck in port (Ukrinform, May 21).
THE BAG OF DEAD CATS
“Disturbing new video obtained by The Post shows demented Robb Elementary School shooter Salvador Ramos grinning as he holds up a bag of blood-soaked dead cats.” New York Post, May 30, 2022As some have argued in response to the relentless push to disarm law-abiding Americans after the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX, things are so much more complicated than just the gun used.
That’s become clear after an unearthed video of the shooter raised every red flag imaginable, showing Salvador Ramos holding a bag of dead cats. If this video was otherwise seen by authorities prior, it’s inexcusable that it wasn’t acted on.

One reason is that none of them address the vulnerability created for schools and churches by the misguided policy of “gun-free zones.” We need to get rid them, and here’s how.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A MORE CRUEL, TONE-DEAF OVAL OFFICE OCCUPANT?
All that is left of Joe Biden's never very bright mind is his viciousness.
Biden's speech after the Buffalo mass shooting was as obscene as his speech in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas was last night (5/24).
He was barely there — frail and blank, reading the teleprompter with no emotion until he got to blaming guns. Then he yelled with thoroughly phony anger at all Americans who revere the Second Amendment.
It never occurs to leftists like Biden that had one or two or three of the staff at the market in Buffalo or the school in Uvalde been armed and trained, those nineteen children might be alive. Israel figured this out decades ago.
HILLARY DID IT
[This photo caricature is what The PIAPS should look like right now. The battle cry at Trump rallies throughout his presidency was “Lock her up!!” – but it never happened. Four years ago in the spring of 2018, a friend warned, “Somebody has to go to jail, some top Dem has to be wearing an orange jump suit for the Russia Russia Hoax, or people will lose faith in our system and the GOP will lose the House” – both of which happened and is how we got Speaker Pelosi. And how we got a stolen presidency two years later. Today America is fast becoming a banana republic with corrupt leaders still above the law. They have to go to jail – starting with The PIAPS. Lock her up!! – JW]
The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

MONKEYPOX FEARPORN
I keep getting asked the same question again and again; is this outbreak of monkey pox a real threat, or is this another case of overstated and weaponized public health messaging? Let’s find out.
The monkeypox virus, which originates in various regions of Africa, is related to Smallpox (Variola), which are both members of the genus Orthopoxvirus. However, it is important to understand that Variola (major or minor) is the species of virus which is responsible for the worst human disease caused by the Orthopox viruses.
For example, Cowpox, Horsepox, and Camelpox are also members of this genus, none of which are a major health threat to humans, and one of which (Cowpox) has even been (historically) used as a Smallpox vaccine. My point is that just because Monkeypox is related to Smallpox, this does not in any way mean that it represents a similar public health threat.
Anyone who implies otherwise is basically engaged in or otherwise supporting weaponized public health-related propaganda. In other words, spreading public health fearporn. Two examples provided below are Bill Gates and CNN.

SUFFERING THE WORTHLESSNESS OF WOKEISM
We are witnessing a number of radical military, social, and political revolutions that are changing the United States—and the world—in fundamental ways that we still have not appreciated.
There is also a revolutionary vacuum occurring abroad. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are trying to figure out whether there is still any old-style American deterrence, or whether the woke progressives now in power in Washington dislike the customs and traditions of the United States even more than they do.
In the West in general, and in the United States particularly, we are seeing a final fruition of decades of woke self-loathing.
So what should we expect in the next few years? For example, Ukraine has been our Spanish Civil War for nearly three months, a laboratory of strategies, tactics, and weapons of wars to come. What are the lessons so far from that conflict?
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF UKRAINE
Street billboard in Ukraine: "You shall not covet your neighbor’s country or freedom, otherwise your ass will be pierced with his pitchfork!"
Some observers think that the United States has committed acts of war against Russia through sanctions, provisions of war materiel, and intelligence and that we are, therefore, partly responsible if Russia is “driven” to attack us with nuclear weapons.
This is not true.
Russia also claims that her “special operations” are not an invasion. Russia claims she is merely trying to “de-Nazify” Ukraine for the good of the Ukrainian people and take the Donbas Region of Russian loyalists, crucial ports on the Black Sea, and anything else she can conquer, as the true sovereign of Ukraine.
If these mendacities are not enough, the Russian propaganda arm is in full swing scaring the daylights out of people with the veiled threat of nuclear war. The United States is not committing acts of war. Instead, we are honoring an agreement we signed with Russia and Great Britain to defend Ukrainian sovereignty.
“TWITTER DOES NOT BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH”
Murugesan is an interesting man because he concedes two important things: (1) working at Twitter has turned him into a leftist because that's the mindset of the entire company, and (2) he's beginning to think Elon Musk is making sense when he says free speech is important. Murugesan's open-mindedness may flow from the fact that he's been experiencing some cognitive dissonance.
According to Murugesan, it's unquestionable that "Twitter does not believe in free speech." However, he hasn't quite grasped that this hostility to free speech is about power and control. Instead, Murugesan attributes it to Twitter's (and Facebook's and Instagram's) unwillingness to allow "bullying and harassment" on the site. As he understands it, free speech is all about preventing "bullying and harassment."
Here´s what Murugesan misses.

In the span of one month, there were two mass shootings. One perpetrated by Payton Gendron in Buffalo on May 14, the other by Frank James in New York City on April 12.

KEEPING YOUR SANITY THROUGH MEASUREMENT
Aristotle 387-322 BC
Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it. ― H. James Harrington
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness in each kind the nature of the particular subject admits. – Aristotle
There is a whole field of study of psychophysiology and biofeedback that is dedicated to helping people learn to control aspects of their physiology, including certain brainwaves, in order to achieve greater relaxation, lowered blood pressure, and other psychological and health benefits.Thomas Jefferson once said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. I would say that goes for the price of self-ownership and effective living, too. Aristotle would also.
