As Americans from sea to shining sea prepare to celebrate our country’s independence from the tyrant King George, it’s worth taking some time to reflect on how lucky we are to live in a free country governed by a leader — Donald J. Trump — who embodies the tenacious spirit and unyielding stamina of the Founding Fathers.
At this point, arguments for reviving a narrow nuclear deal in roughly its original form are dangerous and delusional. 
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom — not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
Even the French can be heroes now and then. Despite getting knocked out of the Women’s World Cup on their home turf after a 2-1 loss to the United States — the most recent example of American athletes enjoying unprecedented success under President Donald J. Trump — the French bounced back with an epic display of winning, and proved that there are indeed some tyrants to which they won’t readily surrender.
The Palestinians' continued refusal to engage the Israelis in a serious way, coupled with their inability to create a productive society, has had a corrosive effect on their pursuit of statehood, driving many international supporters not toward anger or even impatience, but toward apathy. 
MIAMI — Homeless vagrants wander the streets, beg for change, and sleep in storefronts surrounding the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts in downtown Miami. A massive billboard touts the February 2020 arrival of Hamilton, presented by Bank of America, another massive corporation going out of its way to embrace “woke capitalism” by cutting ties with immigrant detention centers and private prisons. Luxury hotels line the streets advertising bottomless mimosa brunches. A Ferrari dealership boasts its unattainable wares. Meanwhile, a stage full of presidential candidates (and one best-selling guru) compete to agree most forcefully with the premise that anyone who steps foot on American soil should be allowed to stay permanently, and be eligible for taxpayer-funded health care — the sorts of policies that have fueled an anti-establishment backlash throughout Europe. They spoke of an “existential threat” to the planet (climate change) that will require the implementation of policies that have sparked a popular revolt in France.
It’s not uncommon for presidential candidates to scribble down some notes or talking points on sheets of paper during a debate. It is, however, highly unusual for candidates to leave behind a sprawling journal entry of the kind found on Beto O’Rourke’s lectern following Wednesday night’s showdown in Miami. What follow is a (lightly edited) transcript of the document, as obtained by the Washington Free Beacon:
¡Hola, mis eses! Me llamo es Robert Francis Cornelius "Umberto" Kenworthy-Mountbatten III, y pienso que totos de ustedes debería votar para yo. 
Put into action, Bernie Sanders's ideas would actually perpetuate, rather than end, America's "endless wars" in the broader Middle East. 
NBC News has created a forum for people to anonymously share their “confessions” about the 2020 election and the myriad candidates vying for the presidency. Perusing these candid appraisals provides an insightful glimpse into the mind of the American voter. For example:
No serious person advocating stronger action against Iran is calling for an American invasion or a large-scale war. 
I have never worked in crisis communications, but I suspect the worst possible lede sentence to read about a client must be this one: "New investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — possibly her own brother — to skirt immigration laws." 
Nearly the entire field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates convened in South Carolina over the weekend at House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn’s annual fish fry, where they made their respective pitches before an eager crowd of voters in what promises to be a crucial primary state.
The New Republic, a once storied publication whose reputation will never recover from the failed tyrannical ownership of Mark Zuckerberg’s college roommate, Chris Hughes— husband of notable Facebook spouse and failed political candidate Sean Eldridge — is hiring.
The Trump administration rolled out the economic details of its peace plan on Sunday ahead of its “Peace To Prosperity” Workshop which opens in Bahrain this week.
