I am writing this within a few days after a power outage on June 18, 2023, so that I will remember the details. I am a 74-year-old and somewhat handicapped grandpa who lives alone in the country. I still get around okay but a lot of physical effort wears me out rather quickly. Sometimes I think that I still have the physical capabilities of the athlete that I was as a younger man. Mentally, yes. Physically, not so much!

I hope that this Independence Day was the greatest Independence Day that you and your family have ever experienced. Personally, I had the opportunity to spend some time with family over the past several days, and that helped to rejuvenate me. We should be thankful for times like these, because we will not always have them. In fact, at the rate that America is falling we may not have too many July 4th celebrations left. Just about every major decision that our leaders make is self-destructive, and if we stay on the road that we are currently on our nation is not going to survive. So let us hope for some sort of a great awakening to happen soon, because the clock is ticking.
from The Epoch Times:
Japan’s plans to release radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean are consistent with international safety standards, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has concluded.
The findings, published on July 4 (pdf), followed a comprehensive assessment and safety review of the treated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), according to the U.N. watchdog.

‘We’re left with the gut-wrenching feeling of: What was it all for?’
Veterans are pushing their family members — who represent an overwhelming majority of new recruits — away from military service, deepening U.S. armed forces’ recruitment crisis, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Nearly 80% of new recruits have at least one family member with a service record, but these family members are increasingly questioning whether the potential costs of military service — which include rising rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide and a reliance on welfare programs — are worth it when compared to a career in the private sector, particularly following the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, the WSJ reported. The military has faced significant criticism from GOP lawmakers over its focus on “woke” initiatives, which they say prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and deepen the recruiting crisis by alienating potential recruits.

Apparently there are hordes of dangerous white supremacist hikers out there
The Oregonian reports that hiking groups in Portland are encouraging non-white people to band together in the outdoors so that they can ‘feel safer’.
The report notes that the heads of the groups Unlikely Hikers, OutGrown and People of Color Outdoors understand black people’s “sometimes wavering comfort level when wandering in the wilderness.”

In June, Biden was confronted with the ultimate “3 a.m. phone call” moment. He could have made a call which would have helped reduce the threat of a nuclear crisis or worse.
During the 2008 Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton ran an ad which sought to diminish her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, in the eyes of the voters.
Building upon Obama’s lack of experience in national security affairs, and what the potential cost would be should Obama falter at a critical moment, Clinton’s ad sought to make the question personal, setting a scene that could be any home in suburban America at night.
.@RogerJStoneJr tells @JackPosobiec that Trump told him the classified documents pertaining to the assassination of JFK contained details "so horrible you wouldn't believe it."
Why does Biden keep delaying their declassification? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/6ZjofvMlyI

A word to the wise: drone shows are painfully boring and you should avoid them like the plague this Independence Day.
From CNN, “Some US cities are replacing 4th of July fireworks with environmentally friendly drones”:
Fire threats and environmental concerns have prompted some US cities to forego traditional Fourth of July fireworks in favor of spectacular drone light shows this year.

89% of Frenchmen condemn the violence committed against security forces, leaving left-wing riot apologists in the tiny minority. A man was killed by a flash-bang grenade in Marseille. The GoFundMe for the police officer involved in the deadly shooting of Nahel M. reached €1.6 M. The Macron government proposed cracking down on free speech instead of the rioters.

An undercover journalist obtained all the death certificates from Minnesota dating back to 2015 and took a closer look at the ICD codes (International Classification of Diseases) that were assigned by the CDC. It turns out that the CDC has been manipulating the ICD codes to conceal the fact that covid vaccines are a cause of death on the original death certificates.

AI hype & hoopla replaces crypto, blockchain, and FinTech hype & hoopla. You’ve got to go with the times.
In the second quarter 2023, only 12 venture-capital-backed startups in the US became “unicorns”: meaning they received funding that valued them at over $1 billion. In Q1, 9 startups became unicorns in this manner, the lowest since January 2018, according to data by PitchBook.
