SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE:

MAJOR SOCIAL ADVANCE, FROM FOX:   The National Education Association proposed a resolution that would change the word "mother" in contracts to "birthing parent" for the purpose of being inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ community.   The resolution would be voted on Wednesday by the Representative Assembly (RA), comprised of 6,000 educators, in Chicago as well as virtually. NEA's resolutions represent the teachers' union's opinions and beliefs. It was unclear whether the resolution passed. Fox News Digital reached out to the NEA for comment and asked whether the resolution passed but did not immediately receive a response.  "Using this contract language, members need not worry about how a Board of Education/solicitor defines ‘maternity leave,’ ‘mother,' and/or ‘father’; the language is an inclusive reflection of how LGBTQIA+ members build families," the proposed resolution said.  Well, that certainly secures America's future.  I feel a sense of relief.  I will rush and inform my birthing person partner.

SERIOUS WARNING – FROM FOX:  Every area of the U.S. could be in danger of experiencing power outages this summer amid a push to convert to renewable energy sources while taking traditional sources of power offline.  "I think the entire country is incredibly vulnerable, because the entire country is facing a huge energy shortage and I don’t think there is any place that is truly safe," Daniel Turner, founder and executive director at Power the Future, told Fox News.   At issue are blackouts that could become widespread across the country this summer as grid operators struggle to meet the increased demand, a problem that has plagued some states for years but now could threaten much of the country.  Turner said some states are under increased threat this year, especially those that have made political pushes to switch over to so-called sources of "green energy."  "The areas of the country I’d be most concerned about are the ones that already have inherent weaknesses," Turner said. "Texas, California, New Mexico, New York, all of New England. These are areas whose policies and political decisions have weakened their electric grid."  This is what happens when common sense surrenders to "science."

KAMALA, WHO ARE YOU? Rarely have we seen a vice president talked about as much as the president.  I mean, what do vice presidents actually do?  But Kamala Harris is the exception, for two reasons:  First, it's clear that the president may not be able to serve out his term, so the focus will be on his successor.  Second, Harris is blatantly and obviously unfit to be that successor. 

As William Bendix used to say in the old "Life of Riley" radio and TV shows, "What a revoltin' development this is."

In fact I can't think of anything similar – an obviously impaired president whose approval rating is in the 30s, and a vice president who has a lower approval rating than even the president.   Consider this latest, about Harris, from the New York Post: 

Vice President Kamala Harris was “seriously” skewered online for a repetitive, meandering statement at the site of the July Fourth parade mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, where the veep repeated an earlier call for federal gun control legislation.

Harris, 57, spoke in the Chicago suburb Tuesday evening after demanding Congress pass a new assault weapons ban while addressing a teachers union gathering earlier in the day. She vowed that suspected shooter Robert “Bobby” Crimo III, 21, would be “brought to justice,” but then “seriously” repeated herself during her remarks.

“And we got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are – because you have been forced to have to take it seriously,” Harris told Highland Park residents.

“The whole nation should understand and have a level of empathy to understand that this can happen anywhere, in any peace-loving community,” Harris continued. “And we should stand together and speak out about why it’s got to stop.”

Chicago Tribune reporter Jake Sheridan posted video of Harris’ speech on Twitter, along with her repetitive quote.

“Did someone write that for her??” one reply read.

Another critic said they thought the quote was a “joke,” while a third questioned whether Harris’s comments were the product of “first-generation” artificial intelligence software.

“Word salad,” read another take on Twitter. “Means absolutely nothing.”

“Unbroken streak for like nineteen months now of never making a single coherent statement as VP,” still another tweet read. “Almost admirable in its consistency.”

One detractor insisted Harris could even star in a remake of HBO’s award-winning political satire “Veep,” sarcastically praising the “cheap production,” authentic film clips and “great dialogue.”

“Does she seriously think we should take what she said seriously?” another social media critic mocked.

COMMENT:  So sad.  At a time when we need another Churchill, we get Donald Duck.

WILL ANOTHER TREE FALL?  Another Soros-financed district attorney is under the kind of challenge that can cost him his job.  From Fox: 

The group seeking to recall Los Angeles County's top prosecutor will turn in hundreds of thousands of signed petitions Wednesday following a months-long effort to let voters decide his political fate.

Volunteers and officials with the Recall George Gascon campaign plan to deliver more than 566,857 petitions in a large truck to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters in the Los Angeles suburb of Norwalk, the group said Tuesday.

"The sheer magnitude of this effort, and time and investment required to get to this point, show how strong the public desire is to remove George Gascon from office," a recall campaign statement said. "From day one, this recall has been led by the very victims who Gascon has abandoned, ignored, and dismissed. When the recall qualifies, he will not be able to ignore them any longer."

Wednesday marks the deadline for the group to turn in the collected signatures in order to have them counted and verified. The group must have collected signatures from 10% of registered voters across the county in order to trigger a recall election in November.

The recall group and Gascon's opponents have seized on the effort to paint him as soft on crime amid a crime wave and a series of missteps by his office in recent months.

In his defense, Gascon has characterized the effort as a political power grab that is attempting to "circumvent the democratic process."

In a fundraising message last week, he told his supporters that a successful recall could set his progressive agenda back.

"The Republican-led recall effort in L.A. is on the ‘cusp’ of qualifying for the ballot this November," he said. "And if they’re successful, they will reverse all our progress."

Much of the opposition against Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor stems from his progressive directives that critics have blamed for an uptick in crime and emboldening criminals they say no longer fear robust prosecution by the DA’s office.

That includes not seeking cash bail, sentencing enhancements or trying juvenile offenders as adults.

COMMENT:  We hope this recall is successful.  A revolt in San Francisco resulted in the removal from office of their Soros district attorney.  If we can add Los Angeles to the list, our satisfaction will be great.
