062426 Dispatch: How the Reflecting Pool Obsessives Are Like OJ's Dream Team

And there ain't no cure for World Cup Fever!

It’s Wednesday, June 24 and a new dispatch is in hand. Before we get to some funnies …

The Reflecting Pool and Reality Nullification

I figured out what the sudden obsession with the Reflecting Pool is about, beyond its reflection of the Left’s psychosis, beyond a way to distract from real things, like the proof last week that their hero Fauci is the proverbial wicked mad scientist responsible for the murder of millions and subsequent coverup, or the tens of billions in fraud being uncovered every week.

They focus whatever issues are happening with the Reflecting Pool for the same reason OJ Simpson’s Dream Team focused on a couple drops of blood out of the tremendous amount of blood evidence. To blow the one item so big it overshadows the real picture, giving cover for not Jury Nullification in this case but Reality Nullification.

And what is the reality? Washington, DC is a far cleaner, beautiful, safer place than it was in January 2025. Fountains that haven’t worked for decades are gushing with clean water. Columbus Circle sparkles in the light rather than be covered in grime and pro-Palestinian graffiti, people are not taking dumps right in front of you in Union Station. You can now walk around the Federal area without having your head on a swivel. Honest people know this is true. Decent people know trying to beautify the Nation’s Capital is both a good and smart thing to do. However, since it’s Trump doing it ... a man who literally made a living taking decaying properties and turning them into jewels ... his efforts must be poisoned.

The Great American State Fair opens tonight. I expect further efforts will be made to poison that event as well. They should leave that to the food vendors and their high-caloric offerings.

The Great American State Fair Opens on the National Mall Today

Celebrating each of our 50 states and six territories and what they’ve given the nation. Gonna stop by the New Jersey exhibit later today, see if I can pick up a souvenir bottle of attitude.

Joy Reid says the event is racist, saying “Everyone knows cotton candy was picked by slaves.”

Rodeo Coming to DC as Part of America 250!

If anybody knows about bull its Capitol Hill.

Haven’t you ever heard of a congressional steering committee? (Har-har-har)

World Cup

How bad is the flopping? The sports thinking of changing its name to “Disney.”

I don’t want to say I have World Cup fever. Fauci might force me to take a shot.

England and Ghana Fought to a 0-0 Tie

This is what Federalist honcho Sean Davis wrote about the match: “A game that takes two hours and ends 0-0 is not a sport. It’s an activity, like exercise. Soccer is just group exercise with a prop.”

This is why the world loves soccer and America can’t embrace it. The United States has as a foundational principle that if you work hard you are rewarded. Most of the rest of the world throughout human history one labors and is not rewarded. Hence, soccer has a natural appeal. If you get a goal, that’s nice, but not expected. The joy comes from the execution of the game, the passing, the blocks, the strategies, the falling down on the ground as if you’ve been shot.

If Americans run around for two hours, dang it, we expect something out of it!

Speaking of Fauci, Sen. Rand Paul Issues Subpoena for Fauci to Testify

Another round for Paul and Fauci? That’ll be better than a UFC fight.

Paul had Fauci’s number when Democrats and the media had Fauci chills up and down their leg.

My only question: Does Fauci have a lair? A white cat?

Seriously, when do people who knew it was a con get their apology? How about the people thrown off Twitter for suggesting the jab wasn’t fab? Or reporting on studies overseas that suggested the thing could be dangerous to young people?

I think I wrote about it during the COVID lockdown that shutting teens up with only their phones and laptops away from human contact was going to create a bunch of sociopaths. We’re seeing it … from the people running around thinking their kitty cats to the 18-20 year olds who think that killing people like Charlie Kirk or committing mass murder at Freedom 250 is a fine way to spend their day.

Yeah, all told, I put Fauci in my list of history’s worst of the worst. Just in front of the guy who invented the alarm clock and Monday mornings.

And that’s that. Be sure to check out the new BananasRepublicShop on Etsy!

Two brand new designs this morning. And just in time for Clancy’s birthday!
