Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Thursday Overnight Open Thread - July 2, 2026 [Doof]![]() Happy Birthday, USA! Oh, you aren't celebrating our country's birthday until Saturday? You think I'm early? Guess again! ![]() On this day in 1776, the United States was actually born. Not July 4. July 2. That's the day the Continental Congress voted to break from Britain, and John Adams was so certain of it that he predicted July 2 would be the great American holiday forever. He nailed everything except the date. The vote came down to the wire, and one man had to ride through the night to save it. Delaware's delegation was split, one for independence, one against, which meant the colony's vote canceled itself out. The tie-breaker, Caesar Rodney, was 80 miles away in Delaware. He got word that he was needed and rode all night through a summer thunderstorm, sick and in pain, boots and spurs still on, and made it into Philadelphia just in time to cast Delaware's vote for independence. The other holdouts fell into place too. In Pennsylvania, the men most opposed, including John Dickinson, deliberately stayed away from the chamber so their colony could swing to yes. South Carolina came around for the sake of a united front. When the roll was called, twelve colonies voted for independence and not a single one voted against. New York simply abstained, waiting on permission from home. And so, on July 2, 1776, it was done. The colonies had legally, officially declared themselves free. *** So why do we celebrate the 4th? Because that's the day Congress approved the final wording of the document explaining the decision, the Declaration of Independence. The vote to be free happened on the 2nd. The paperwork got finished on the 4th, and history remembered the paperwork. Happy July 2nd! ![]() July 2 is one of my favorite dates because of John Adams. July 2, 1786, the delegates are exhausted, the debates have dragged on for weeks, and the weight of history presses down like the summer humidity. On this very day, July 2, 1776, Adams and his allies push the Continental Congress to vote for independence from Great Britain. The resolution passes. The colonies are no longer subjects; they are free, or at least determined to become so. Adams writes to his beloved Abigail that day: “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” He was off by two days. July 4 would get the glory when the Declaration was formally adopted, but he nailed the spirit. July 2 / July 4 - whatever it takes. Let's just enjoy something our president has done to help us celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence.

----- Vigilante justice comes in many forms. When it involves shaming the perpetrators, bonus points should be awarded! Mexican Batman Duct-Tapes Alleged Motorcycle Thieves to Lamp Posts ![]() Tired of waiting for local police to do their duty and bring criminals to justice, a mysterious vigilante in the town of Lagos de Moreno, Mexico’s Jalisco state, has been duct-taping alleged motorcycle thieves to lamp posts and leaving them for authorities to find. At least five ‘victims’ have been found so far. The mysterious ‘Batman’ started operating in Lagos de Moreno in mid-June. The first person was found duct-taped to a lamp post, with ‘thief’ written on his forehead, on June 13th. An allegedly stolen motorcycle was also found nearby, suggesting that the immobilized person was a thief. But this was only the beginning, as police have since discovered at least 4 other alleged thieves tied to lamp posts.Video segment (en Espanol) at the link.

CONVENT AND ST PATRICK BURIAL SITE BURN DOWN IN DOWNPATRICK, MEDIA SAYS NOTHING Yesterday the convent and the burial place of Saint Patrick himself in Downpatrick was reduced to ashes. Locals say it was arson. The resting place of the patron saint of Ireland set on fire, and the legacy media has nothing to say. The politicians have nothing to say. A Catholic site tied to one of the most important figures in the history of these islands burns, and you get silence. That silence tells you everything.

[Poem] "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon" by Rudyard Kipling It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate. Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate. It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

Very cool ONT, Doof. Thank you.
When I used to go with my husband to DC years ago we'd stay in a hotel in DuPont Circle. Diplomat's homes and lots of homos, but very pretty houses and grounds. I even got to sneer at a car leaving the Congressional Black Caucus, walking back from pizza. Ugh. Anyway! We often faced the Washington Memorial from our hotel, and I got to see it at night...with planes flying along the Potomac River behind it. The birthday gif above is outstanding! Tomorrow is my dude's birthday and he catches up with me. I'm 5wks older than him. Normally a lot of plans for this and the 4th but probably not this year due to some recent minor medical stuff (he's going to be fine). Have a safe, healthy, and FUN weekend, y'all!!!

July 4th was the day the Declaration was published to the citizens of Philadelphia--- that was the day they learned of it.
The Continental Congress was woefully inadequate for the task at hand. It didn't have power to impose taxes. All the Congress could do was politely ask the states for money. Same with raising new troops-- ask politely. The situation almost drove George Washington to distraction. His troops spent most of the war wearing rags; without proper tents or blankets; usually unpaid-- and close to starving. I used to wonder how Congress could've been so negligent., so irresponsible with their necks on the line. In truth, Congress lacked the powers necessary to prosecute the war. That was the original sin. After the was ended in 1783, same situation until the Constitution was ratified in 1789. the infant United States government was the world's laughingstock. No gold; couldn't levy taxes; nobody would lend us money. Posted by: mnw at July 02, 2026 10:45 PM (RCjYY) 123

Willowed from the Week in Woke thread, because of course I am late to every thread:
I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and want to weigh in on the thyroid conversation. Levothyroxine is a garbage product that doesn't do squat for most people. It is the bottom of the barrel of thyroid medications. There are much better options that are made from pigs, for instance, that mimic much more closely human thyroid hormones. Also, doctors poorly understand the thyroid function, and they don't test for T3 and T4 levels along with the basic TSH levels. In my experience endocrinologists are the worst people to ask for help with a thyroid condition, and the best are people who actually want to do more than write a prescription and collect your money for an office visit.

Another cool marble race.
___________________ Effin' marbles. We used to have this pretty cool Halloween Parade in my old home town. Bands, floats, the works. It was a big deal in a small town. Then, "Animal House" came out. My old hometown was, also, a small college town. So, a bunch of college kids saw "Animal House" and thought it would be a fantastic idea to drop about 5,000 marbles down the main street as the high school band was marching through. There was a few yelps, much clanking, and a couple dental issues that resulted. And, that was the last Halloween Parade in that small town. Never happend again. Marbles SUCK!

You are right that thyroid meds made from pigs is a better medication for the thyroid; however, it can cause atrial fibrillation and for those who have it or are prone to it exacerbation is a certainty. Saying that docs don't do complete thyroid function, you left out free TSH, may be from personal experience. What each doc does is different and we are always free to ask for a complete workup.

If memory serves; free TSH measures the amount in the blood produced by the pituitary gland. If free TSH is high it indicates that the thyroid is not producing enough hormone thus it's being over worked and needs supplementation.

The flight speed of that cargo plane is pretty niffty. It is negative. I pretty sure negative flight speed is not trimmable. And even if it were trimmable you'd be dynamically unstable, like a typical canard config. And I'm not sure you could rotate your constant rpm prop blades enough at cruise power to get that level of reverse thrust.

"A national security group is urging Congress to investigate a prominent environmental-law nonprofit over past partnerships and programming ties with Chinese government-linked organizations, according to a report sent to lawmakers on Tuesday by State Armor, a national security organization. The Environmental Law Institute, or ELI, has trained more than 2,000 American judges on environmental law through its Climate Judiciary Project since 2018, according to its website. During its decades of China-related work, the organization cultivated relationships with entities the report described as Chinese government-affiliated, CCP-linked or tied to China’s military research ecosystem, according to State Armor..."

Posted by: Angzarr the Cromulent at July 02, 2026 10:36 PM (XMwZJ) The Week In Woke![]() Batya Ungar-Sargon "DECOLONIZE THE STACKS!," say woke librarians, determined to "queer the libraries" and insisting that neutrality in the culture wars is racist. Critical race theory scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw was the keynote speaker for the American Library Association's annual Conference and Exhibition, she writes. Sessions reflected "a mishmash of critical theory argle-bargle," including "Charting Queer Visibility," "Read Trans Books," "Queer Kidlit Joy," "Decolonizing the Stacks," and "Cultivating Radical Empathy." The ALA has enormous influence over K-12 libraries through its school library division, which sets standards, guidance, and so-called "best practices," Sanzi writes. It "shapes what books are purchased, displayed, and promoted," and fights "efforts to place age-appropriate limits on sexually explicit or heavily ideological materials." The ALA explicitly rejected viewpoint neutrality in 2021, she writes. A resolution claims libraries have contributed to white supremacy and fascism through a "misplaced emphasis on neutrality."Localities should mass-fire these woke librarians. They should pass ordinances forbidding woke ideology in librarian jobs. I don't even want to hear that's not viewpoint-neutral -- they explicitly reject viewpoint neutrality themselves.... Librarians are expected to celebrate "queer visibility" and "trans books," promoting "a specific (and not especially widely held) perspective on gender and sexuality." Clay Travis Stephen L.

More than a dozen travelers were banned from sailing with Carnival Cruise Line after fighting at the port in Miami. The altercation took place in the Customs and Border Protection debarkation area, according to the company. The June 22 fight occurred between two families and police responded, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) said. "The incident was deemed a mutual combatant incident," MDSO told USA TODAY in an email. Police documented the fight, but the parties declined to press charges. "We are appreciative of law enforcement's swift response and handling of the matter," Carnival said in an emailed statement. "We do not tolerate such behavior, and 16 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail List." A video posted on Instagram shows a group of people shoving and throwing punches at one another in the terminal, with at least two people knocked to the ground and luggage strewn around the space. Police and the cruise line did not identify the people involved or the ship they were sailing on.

I linked to a Substack essay this morning called “The Inquisition Wears a Wig.” It’s a good explanation of how trans are the best warriors for the Left, who has always used resentment to weaponize people against their political foes.
Where other people who have/think they have been oppressed can move on, the trans cannot. Once they’ve started the process (drugs, body modification), there is no going back, no return to normal or their former self. Given that, of course they have become the left’s assassins in recent years. Their anger and “oppression “ will never be resolved. Posted by: Lizzy at July 02, 2026 05:48 PM (4KUe5) 20

Uh, it said June record was 102, when I can distinctly remember days well over 110 back in the 70s. Today? High of 88? That's a good 15 degrees colder then normal for the 4th of July here. Science needs to be based on data, and when your own experience tells you they have rewritten the data? Yeah... trust the science goes right out the window.

53 again, if a woman comes here on a tourist visa, gives birth after t wo weeks then leaves for china two weeks later, how does the 14th' "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" apply? is a kid who never spent any time here "subject to the jurisdiction" of the u.s. ?
Posted by: gnats --------------- It is much worse -- when that kid has kids, they can register the birth with the US embassy in China as US citizen born overseas, and that kid will be a Citizen too. China figured this out -- these people are building a "generational redoubt" to bug out to when (if) China goes to shit. but that also means every generation the number of "citizens" outside our jurisdiction multiples.

That Carnival Cruise brawl occurred before they even boarded the ship. At least on one other video of a brawl that I saw on Carnival, the ship was underway and the brawl occurred in the buffet line when they ran out of chicken wings and waffles. At least that time there was a reason for a brawl.

I want the small Christian high schools in the eastern parts of CA, OR, and WA to start fielding sports teams of "boys who identify as girls" in basketball, soccer, and volleyball.
When the Final Four of every women's state championship bracket is four boys teams, then maybe deranged Leftists will be willing to admit that development as a biological male DOES confer an athletic advantage. P.S. I also want the boys for these teams changing in the girls spaces. At that point, even the Lefty moms that have a basic understanding of 15 y.o. boys will be calling for sports and spaces for biological females only. Lefties only understand crime after someone in their immediate family has been mugged. IMO, females will be much better off the sooner we begin the "muggings".

Just read it...the issue in Archy was whether or not the slave owner was visiting with his slaves or not.
"The privileges extended to visitors cannot be extended to those who come for both business and pleasure. A mere visitor is one who comes only for pleasure or health, and who engages in no business while here, and remains only for a reasonable time. If the party engage in any business, or employ his slave in any business except as a personal attendant upon himself or family, then the character of visitor is lost, and his slave is entitled to freedom."

Speaking of cruises:
https://www.americancruiselines.com/ I think those are the only cruises I'd enjoy. They tour they coasts and bigger rivers in the U.S. from Florida to the Mississippi to Alaska for several to over a dozen days. They have some cool combo river cruise & land excursions packages to the National Parks. Looks like it would be a lot better than Carnival cruise just for the scenery.

So Newsom saw that a GOP woman advanced to a run off for State Superintendent and he fast tracked a bill through Sacramento that strips her of fiscal responsibility and instead will appoint a government official to oversee operations in the role. What a schmuck.
https://tinyurl.com/ezstasm5 Republican candidate for California State Superintendent Sonja Shaw has accused Gavin Newsom of orchestrating a sweeping power grab and leaving the office she wants to run powerless. “Newsom couldn’t win at the ballot box, so he changed the rules. He just rammed through one of the biggest power grabs in California history,” Shaw told the California Post. “This isn’t education reform. California’s children deserve leaders who answer to the voters.” She led the June primary with 1,737,377 votes (22.6%), finishing ahead of Richard Barrera, who received 1,557,939 votes (20.3%), according to the Associated Press.

We've been saying this for years, ever since this whole idea started to become mainstream, that liberal women and feminists were going to have to speak out and stop the erasure of their accomplishments, but they are too scared of the political mafia to do so. _______________________________ That's not why they aren't speaking out. They are quiet because to challenge the "trangender" movement negates everything they have been spewing out of their face holes for the last six decades. They've been premising their efforts on the declaration that men and women are equal in all things. To challenge "transgenders" nulifies that nonsense and the whole feminist movement is shown for what they are. Hyperbolic liars. Posted by: Orson at July 02, 2026 06:47 PM (dIske) 200

Posted by: Darth Randall at July 02, 2026 06:55 PM (PVvQD) _____________________________ I'm convinced that Somalis abroad are the new "Romani". They are gypsies who introduce and perpatrate fraud where ever they go. The US, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden...it matters now. They set down temporary roots and go to town on what they can exploit. When things get a little too hot, they move on. As an example, Lewiston, Maine used to have nearly 25,000 Somali gypsies. When Maine got a little circumspect on how welfare was being applied, the Somalis moved onto Ohio, Minnesota, Buffalo, and San Diego. Lewiston is down to under 10,000 Somali gypsies at present.

135 Somebody didn't appreciate a Somali flag being flown over an American city and stole the flag? Horrors/ sarc. Don't arrest me, Buffalo. I didn't take it. I have no idea who did, but I am glad they did.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 02, 2026 06:29 PM (7RYym) Years ago, I had a sophomore English teacher who used a gavel. He would gavel the class to order, and use it on other occasions. He loved his gavel. TBF he did some things well, but overall he was a pompous ass of a teacher. One day someone stole the gavel. Whoever did it would be considered a hero to all who attended that teacher’s classes. I see this Somali flag theft as the same. Whoever stole it is a hero, nothing less. If the Buffalo city government hates America that much, well, they can swim to Fort Erie. Posted by: Cow Demon at July 02, 2026 07:04 PM (4g5V+) 244

Squantos preferred living with the whites, because their culture was better. Massasoit said their problems would not come from the white man, but from other Indian tribes. Yeah, they wanted more land (or just hunting grounds, they had no written language to really claim anything) ... they just battled with the neighboring tribes. They sold most of their lands to us, for beads, or for guns and other metal things for planting or whatever (since they didn't know about metal stuff. They were savages mostly, and those still trying to live as "Native Americans" are much better off for our appearance and involvement in their lives. imo, and many others' opinions.

If LIBs NEED America to fail!
To follow, not lead; to suffer, not prosper; to despair, not dream — LIBs start with energy. LIBs cut off America's supply of cheap, abundant energy. Of course, LIBs couldn't take it by force. So, LIBs make Americans feel guilty for using the energy that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their businesses, and powers their economy. LIBs make cheap energy expensive, so that expensive energy would seem cheap. LIBs would empower unelected bureaucrats to all-but-outlaw America's most abundant sources of energy. And after banning its use in America, LIBs make it illegal for American companies to ship it overseas. If LIBs wanted America to fail LIBs use our schools to teach one generation of Americans that our factories and our cars will cause a new Ice Age, and LIBs muster a straight face so LIBs could teach the next generation that they're causing Global Warming. And when it's cold out, LIBs call it Climate Change instead. LIBs imply that America's cities and factories could run on wind power and wishes... ctHARRIS woudn't change a THING! https://tinyurl.com/IceKingJOE-ShadowOfTheIceKING https://tinyurl.com/forWARd-ifLIBsWantAmerica2Fail Posted by: MANFRED the Heat Seeking OBOE at July 02, 2026 07:06 PM (MxYDd) 250

LIBs would bring in hordes of Illegal Aliens and give them all the rights of American Citizens.
LIBs would make Voter ID an evil of Racism and give all the people LIBs helped bring in the rights to vote pretending it was a humanitarian gesture of inclusion. Then LIBs would abolish the Voter ID laws that are used all around the world and even allow voting by mail with no ID. LIBs would work with the complicity politicians and judges to transform the paper ballot system and replace it with digital voting machines that could be manipulated by my paid programmers sitting in far away locations. LIBs would import paper ballots from China and use them in swing States so that my candidates would win with these extra ballots if they are needed. LIBs would buy up the media and use my people to be the purveyors of my "truth" and all the radio and TV Channels will jabber the same stories LIBs have programmed them to use. LIBs would then blackmail, bribe coerce and even threaten the Judges and the Justice Department bureaucrats and enforcers and make them comply with my plan to take over America.

I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and want to weigh in on the thyroid conversation. Levothyroxine is a garbage product that doesn't do squat for most people. It is the bottom of the barrel of thyroid medications. There are much better options that are made from pigs, for instance, that mimic much more closely human thyroid hormones. Also, doctors poorly understand the thyroid function, and they don't test for T3 and T4 levels along with the basic TSH levels. In my experience endocrinologists are the worst people to ask for help with a thyroid condition, and the best are people who actually want to do more than write a prescription and collect your money for an office visit.

All crazy white people - us and about 20 Australians. And, yes, I started it in a sense I refused to allow them ahead in a line after they suddenly appeared & lied that they had just step out for an emergency and were now reclaiming their spaces. (We had stood in the damn line almost an hour & finally were finally close to getting onto the ride.). No regrets. It's a detestable place, imo.
