It’s Monday, June 21st, 2021…and now, owing to the fact we played in a member-guest golf tournament from Thursday morning through Saturday afternoon, after which we spent most of the rest of the day working on our garage renovation with TLJ, and after returning home from church on Sunday wasted almost an entire afternoon in Lowe’s trying to locate items their website said the store had in stock, then watched the surface of the week-and-a-half old paint in our garage peel off as we marked out our tool storage system, here’s a greatly condensed edition of The Gouge!

Today we offer a nonet of items specially selected to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:

(1). Courtesy of The Boss, the WSJ details how 46* could allow TENS OF THOUSANDS of illegal children to board flights to America.

(2). In a related item, Legal Insurrection informs us 46* will be hosting a HUGE 4th of July party after telling the rest of us the Wuhan virus…from Wuhan, China…CHINA…supposedly isn’t licked yet.  This is the life imitating art, in this case, Poe’s Masque of the Red Death.

(3). Speaking of the Wuhan virus, in a forward from James Nichols, Business Insider reveals satellite images and internet trends suggest the coronavirus may have emerged months before China reported it: “Something was happening in October“.

(4). In a forward from Speed, writing at The Hill, Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs relates how Democrats are learning the hard truths about Capitol breach.  And it has nothing to do with “the facts” the MSM tried to present.

(5). FOX News informs us nearly 60 House Democrats have called on Catholic bishops to stop targeting pro-abortion pols in Communion dispute.  There’s no dispute; not when what GOD has to say on the issue in Isaiah 46: 3,4 is quite clear on the subject:

“Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob,
    all the remnant of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since you were conceived,
    and have carried since you were born.
Even to your old age and gray hairs
    I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
    I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

Though it’s likely a waste of time to quote chapter and verse to those who are undoubtedly intimately familiar with the Holy Scriptures.  Hells bells, after all, even Satan is intimately familiar with what’s in the Bible.

(6). Townhall.com‘s Landon Mion records how Atlanta’s mayor attributes her city’s rise in crime to Georgia’s reopening, claiming:

“Remember in Georgia we were opened up before the rest of the country, even before the CDC said that it was safe for us to open so our night clubs and our bars remained open so we had people traveling here from across the country and partying in our city.”

Ah, yes…all those party animals who couldn’t wait to join the Devil in Georgia to party and kill people.  Which of course doesn’t explain why the rest of Georgia isn’t mirroring Atlanta’s soaring murder rate.

(7). Since we’re on the subject of irresponsible mayors, FOX News documents the rush of reporters, activists and Fort Lauderdale’s Dean Trantalis to label the Florida Pride parade crash a “terrorist attack” before ANY investigation.  In what we know to inquiring minds will be a shocking turn of events, the driver of the deadly truck turned out to be a flaming card-carrying member of one the participating gay groups, and law enforcement is considering the unfortunate turn of events an accident.

(8). Since we’re in Florida, Townhall.com‘s Scott Morefield tells us a group of Florida parents sent their kids’ face masks to a lab for analysis: Here’s what they found.  SPOILER ALERT: It’s neither healthy nor appetizing. 

(9). While we’re tempted to say, “Burn in Hell!“, we’ve no doubt the suggestion will prove redundant.

Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:

Then there’s these from Breeze Gould…

…Speed…

…Ed Hickey…

…Balls Cotton…

…and last, but certainly never least, Major Jon:

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with the Sports Section, as…

US runner Shelby Houlihan vows to fight 4-year ban: ‘Can’t believe I’m going through this as a clean athlete‘

2016 Olympian says banned substance she tested positive for was in a burrito she ate prior to drug test

“From what I’ve been told nandrolone is high…pig offal has high concentrations of nandrolone. This food truck that I happened to go to that night – I’ve eaten there a lot before – and this food truck serves pig offal as part of their menu and I think I happened to ingest this hormone and 10 hours later, at the peak of when it’s supposed to be in your body and your digesting it, I happened to get tested and honestly it’s a very unlucky series of events,” she said. “I’m kinda blown away by what happened and I can’t believe I’m going through this as a clean athlete.“

In other words…

Perhaps Houlihan should consider eating kosher.
