Since my most recent letter to you, the culture has rolled on at a frantic pace. For example, President Joe Biden was thrown out of the presidential race, and Vice President Kamala Harris was named the Democratic party's presidential nominee. Harris chose the ultra-liberal governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, as her running mate. Together, they represent the most radicalized Left presidential ticket in American history, and the liberal media has done all it can to present them in a favorable light.

Fish take water for granted—until, that is, they are no longer in it. Then they gasp and fight for their very survival. If you are reading this in America, you are not a fish. But there is a good chance that you are tempted to take free speech for granted. If so, a video clip from Tim Walz that recently went viral, thanks to Elon Musk, sounded an alarm: free speech is imperiled. Walz, the current Democratic nominee for vice president, said this on MSNBC in 2022: "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy."

If you watched the recent 2024 Summer Olympics, you may have ended up confused. On one hand, the Paris Games started on a horrific note—a pagan spoof of the Last Supper. What should have been a celebration of the athletic spirit was instead a deeply disturbing display of gluttony, pans*xualism, and blasphemy. Weeks later, the images from that debauched performance are proving difficult to erase from my mind.
