The best posts of the week of July 12, 2026. Donald Trump declares war on democracy and the Feral Week.

The best posts of the week of July 12, 2026, the week where Donald Trump declared war on democracy.

This may be the saddest week in American history . Never before has a President attacked the foundation of the country. He deserves to be impeached.

The death of Lindsey Graham. A timely American reminder.




















The feral week:

Americans set the world on fire and then blame Canadians.

 


So let's blame it on the Canadians.

Like this BS doesn't have an impact:

unleash american energy

President Trump has doubled down on his pledge to achieve American energy independence by unleashing domestic production and ensuring affordable, reliable energy for every American family and business. This year, executive actions dismantled excessive red tape, federal lands and offshore areas were reopened for development, and approval timelines were accelerated to expand oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear capacity. His strategy delivers lower utility bills, more high-paying energy jobs, and renewed American dominance as the global leader in oil and gas production.

By declaring a national energy emergency and aggressively pursuing “drill, baby, drill” initiatives, the administration is ramping up domestic supply, cutting dependence on overseas energy, and bolstering national security through true energy dominance. These measures drive economic growth, empower American workers and manufacturers, and guarantee that energy abundance advances the national interest.

Best Posts of the Week of July 5, 2026. The post Independence Day, Donald Trump advances efforts to wipe out democracy while worrying about Iran doing to him, what he did to it, and while starting the war up again, because he 's a loser. edition.

The morning after, as it were, for Independence Day, and a week where King Donny went to Europe riding on Qatari 1, not a pony, and then switched planes as it lacks, well lacks.

He got ignored, resumed the war, and threatened the Iranians if they assassinate him, which they probably find horribly amusing as he's obviously scared.  Murdering your opponents leaders is flat out stupid, and he probably actually has reason to worry.

As an historical week a lot occurred.  The news that thirteen out of fourteen British Colonies in North America had declared themselves sovereign was a huge deal that they were getting out, even as they retreated from their invasion of the fourteenth that was having none of it.  Much earlier, a judicial travesty was referenced on the Maid of Orleans.  In 1876 the world of Custer's disaster at the hans of the Sioux, Cheyenne, a few Arapaho (and with some unsung Metis watching it all) was spreading.

A really notable event was the entry of the first women into service academies.

I've long been of the view that women do not belong in combat, and I still hold that view. But the misogyny and racism of the Trump Administration has really made me rethink a lot of my long held beliefs about such things. At the tender age of 13, when women were admitted, I knew it and thought it improper. I don't now.

I'm going to start with the most important threads of the week out of sink:

The 2026 Election, 15th Edition. Trump will attempt to steal the election.


He's going to try it.

And this:


Friday, July 5, 1776. Getting the word out.














I have to say, on the next item, this really sucks:


And back when a saner pace of life meant a President could repair to the woods:


In an era when it's popular for those on the right to throw rocks at immigrants, somebody to remember:




I like Kyla Scanlon's Vlog (even though I'd note, as an aside, she really needs to gain some weight) but her post here is one in which we Distributist often wonder why people don't take the logical next step in their analysis.




Where we really started repeating old errors that would cause us to be a century behind where we should be.



The Soviets gave the Germans in Austria the boots:



Why the crap can other countries be lead by people of a sensible age and we cannot?




No matter what you think of the justice of the cause, this was heroic in the extreme. . . with two out of the three heros being Irish immigrants.




Rod Dreher worries about something he helped bring about.

The Best Posts of the Week of June 21, 2026. The Agrarian Week. The Feral Week.

The best posts of the week of June 21, 2026, a remarkable week in which the illegal occupant of the White House crossed into full tyranny by arresting people for photosynthesis and the war he won and then ended stuck about as well as his claims to being a genius, as fighting resumed.

It was also a week in which it became clear that not only is Vlad Putin not winning the war against Ukraine, he's actively losing it.

Donald Trump, in spite of having no command over nature, his own mental decline, or the Persian Gulf, was happy as a child with a new toy, and expected everyone else to be as well.

Time to take the country back, through the ballot box.
