It’s Basque Separatist Summer.
It over yet? Pride Month? Can July henceforth be Basque Separatist Month? Got it! Basque Separatist Summer! Every summer! Yes!

Hetty 1890
“He was thinking of Hetty Merton. Through vanity he had spared her. In hypocrisy he had worn the mask of goodness. For curiosity’s sake he had tried the denial of self.”
— Oscar Wilde, 1890

Shorten Pride Month
Can Pride Month end a few days early this year? Its insufferable length and signature obnoxiousness need to end. It’s not anti-gay to point out that this has become a no-class time of the year. Can we please celebrate someone or something else? The LGBTQ community is not special. It is losing straight supporters. It is turning people off. Enough. Move on. Move over.
Put another way? We need not be “all in” “all the time” in our support of anyone or anything historically marginalized. I support most things about the LGBTQ community but won’t be a mindless participant-slave in what has become a nuance-free team sport. No movement deserves everyone’s blind full-time support on penalty of being called a bigot. Or a homophobe. A racist. A misogynist. A name. There are shades of grey. LGBTQ World, please get some class. You’re blowing it with most Americans.

Debate and Destroy Antifa-BLM.
It’s ironic, but true, and no exaggeration—and frankly a brilliant ruse—that BLM-Antifa are Fascist at their core and the biggest threat to America and the West since Germany’s Third Reich. Debate BLM-Antifa—but destroy them, too. BLM-Antifa is the real enemy. They believe in “Good Tyranny” and controlling via a central government nearly every aspect of human life. Learn. Wake up. Shed your silly middle class guilt that BLM-Antifa relies on to control you. Right now? They have half of America in the palm of their hand.

Get a grip.
Scores of my family—some officers but most not—fought on both sides of the American civil war. Based on what I’ve learned, the vast majority fought based on region. I honor all of them. Every one of them. It’s time to welcome back and honor them all.

The fledgling new Mom ‘n’ Pop Right. It’s coming, Campers.
I’m not a lifelong GOP person or right winger. I’m still an old-style liberal. I love Speech. I still talk to everyone. But I’m 100% convinced that the American “Mom and Pop Right” is growing in leaps and bounds. Educated. Articulate. Willing to speak out. This is a relatively new thing. The seeds were planted around mid-2015. A massive population that will not hide anymore. They no longer take cues from the media or our usual authorities. And they are permanently pissed off and vigilant. They no longer care what names you call them. Get ready. They are legion. Dang.

Setting back our professions
Has there been in recent American history a public figure as pathetic, patronizing and hopelessly dishonest as Dr. Anthony Fauci? I rarely intensely dislike any public figure. But Fauci is human garbage of the first order. How can I put this?

Get in the fight.
St John’s is an Episcopal church. One block from the White House, it had its first service 206 years ago this October. I glimpse it or walk by it almost every day. Last year this time BLM-Antifa set fire to this church near White House and main stream media barely mentioned it. Generic Haters, American-born Black racists, angry gender misfits, obese radical lesbians, dudes with beards and tits, sub-literate “Marxists”, four disturbed young female members of Congress, and other Rage Retards want it burned to the ground. They do. No exaggeration. Get off your knees, everyone. Those who are silent and not willing to jump in the fight are worse than even BLM-Antifa itself. Do something. Fight the New Fascism. Fight those who’ve manipulated you and tried to make you ashamed of who you are.

Start the War Against Wokeness on June 6. 2021
June 6 is a great day to ask you to join me in the War Against Wokeness. My once beloved Left has lost it. It’s dangerous. The Left wants you to feel, speak, write and act as they do. This is Real Fascism. Fight it. With all you have. Illiberal, Prissy, Small Minded, “Good Tyranny” Wokeness is Fascist. It must end. No one Earth can tell you (a) how or (b) how fast you should ‘evolve’. That message in and of itself is Authoritarian, Dictatorial, Arrogant and Fascist. “I know better, I’m morally superior and you better get in line.” Don’t buy this ever. But you can’t be a chickenshit. Start with Speech. Real liberals, real conservatives, real Americans love speech and expression. Use it. Start there. Almost none of you are. People are afraid to stand up to this. Let them call you racist, sexist, homophobic. They will. But get off your knees.

1971
Fifty years ago today, Friday, June 4, 1971, I was honored to graduate from Indian Hill High School. Indian Hill, Ohio. An ancient suburb of Cincinnati. IHHS is still excellent. The faculty, students and families there changed my life. Thank you, all.

Rangers
I miss growing up in Indian Hill, Ohio. A community that protected its own. If I were driving at night down Drake Road at 17 in a Galaxy 500 with the top down on Friday night and the local cops—the Indian Hill Rangers—stopped me, this:
“Why it’s Dan Hull. John Hull’s eldest. You got any beer or dope there in your daddy’s car?”
“No, sir.”
“Would you like some?”
