Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report

The Auto Club reports a record forty-two million Americans drove to a July 4th destination more than fifty miles from home over long holiday weekend. They must have saved up all year for the trip. The price of gasoline is so high in Los Angeles that it costs you more to mow your grass than to smoke it.

• Harvard released a study which found Independence Day celebrations tend to turn children into political conservatives. The study caused a firestorm. Teachers were horrified to learn it only takes a fireworks show and a patriotic speech to undo one hundred and eighty days of public school education.

• The New York Times reported Democrats are urging President Biden to step aside in 2024 in the face of his terrible poll numbers. He's getting clobbered by gas and food prices, his open border policy and public distaste for woke policies. Joe Biden just had the worst week of his presidency until next week.

• President Biden spent Independence Day at Camp David while Liz Cheney said if she can't indict Trump in Congress she'll run against him for the GOP nod in 2024. The U.S. wasn't the only country enjoying a national holiday. Every July Fourth, the British celebrate We Dodged a Bullet Day.

• Arizona's Democratic Senator Mark Kelly departed from White House immigration policy along with four other Senate Democrats. They can read the polls. They're demanding tough measure to halt the flow of immigration, not from other countries, but from the Democratic Party to the Republican.

• The Department of Transportation reported that airline fights were jam-packed over the holiday weekend. Delta offered passengers ten thousand dollars to give up their seats on overbooked flights. The bad news is, they said the cash would be in a travel bag they can pick up in the Baggage Claim area.

• The New York Post reported Cornell University surreptitiously removed the bust of Abe Lincoln and a copy of the Gettysburg Address from the library. I can just picture the excuse they'll give to the alumni. The school explained that the exhibit was in transition and it now it identifies as an empty space.
