Tuesday Links - 7 July

Miguel Gonzalez starts us off with a story about selective outrage. They only count when they want to.

But those deaths do not count because… reasons?

William Teach at Pirate's Cove - Cool: NICE Arrests 10K Illegals In 5 Days

The only ones whining about “heavy-handed tactics” are liberals, who won’t support Trump, won’t vote for Trump, and, really, why would Trump care? He cannot be re-elected.

Libs of TikTok - Texas Muslim Nurse FIRED after LoTT Exposé

Ahlam posted a video online where she appeared to show how she would refuse to treat patients if they were watching Fox News.

Gates of Vienna - Risen From the Ashes

The Silicon Graybeard - Happy Independence Day - 2026

Wombat-socho - FMJRA 2.0: Waiting Until August

I guess I’m not the only GM for whom July is a bad month in which to draft. Co-commish Lance has decided to push the draft back to August, and since this apparently will cost us an impatient manager, we have an opening if you’re interested.

And again from Wombat-socho - Rule 5 Sunday: Happy 250th, America!
