teaches us that human nature is a superstition.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The way we perceive human nature today is still influenced by assumptions from the Medieval Christian world view (human nature as fallen, depraved, and flawed) and the Age of Enlightenment (human nature as inherently good and capable of continuous improvement through reason and education). Consequently, much of humanity behaves according to these assumptions, and both pessimistic and optimistic view of human nature has its problems.<\/p>\n<p>Human beings are the most compassionate, most violent, most creative, and most destructive of all animals.<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In my mind, Eve is the hero in the story. God said don&#8217;t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. She did. The world often makes its greatest advances by disobedient people who break the rules. Oscar Wilde wrote, \u201cDisobedience is man&#8217;s original virtue.\u201d Except it was a woman and it was Eve. She was the was first rule-breaker, and we should honor her for this.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/jimpalmerauthor.substack.com\/p\/what-are-we-born-with\" target=\"_blank\">(Jim Palmer more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Heather Cox Richardson: <a href=\"https:\/\/heathercoxrichardson.substack.com\/p\/july-5-2025\" target=\"_blank\">Letters from an American &#8211; July 5, 2025<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&#8230; When House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) presented Trump with the speaker\u2019s gavel during the signing event, the symbolism of the gift was a little too on the nose.<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At the White House on Friday, Trump said: \u201cI just want you to know, if you see anything negative put out by Democrats, it\u2019s all a con job.\u201d He claimed the new law is the \u201cmost popular bill ever signed.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>According to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council, the law gives ICE more funding than the Federal Bureau of Investigations; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; U.S. Marshals Service; and Bureau of Prisons combined. In fact, Reichlin-Melnick told <em>Democracy Now!<\/em>, the law will make ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency \u201cin the history of the nation.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Within hours of Trump\u2019s signing the bill into law, Gun Owners of America and a number of other pro-gun organizations filed a lawsuit claiming the measure makes the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA) unconstitutional. That law regulated machine guns and short-barrel guns by imposing a tax on them and making owners register their weapons. The Supreme Court upheld that law as a tax law. The budget reconciliation bill ended those taxes and thus, the plaintiffs claim, the constitutional justification for the law.<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At an event in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, Trump complained that Democrats had not supported the budget reconciliation bill. Less than three weeks after a gunman murdered a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, and shot another legislator and his wife, Trump said Democrats had opposed the measure only \u201cbecause they hate Trump. But I hate them, too. You know that? I really do, I hate them. I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/heathercoxrichardson.substack.com\/p\/july-5-2025\" target=\"_blank\">(Heather Cox Richardson more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>MEIDAS+: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meidasplus.com\/p\/texas-officials-blame-agency-gutted\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Experts warned for months about cuts to NWS and NOAA<\/p>\n<h2>Wired: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/meteorologists-say-the-national-weather-service-did-its-job-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meteorologists Say the National Weather Service Did Its Job in Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>DOGE cut hundreds of jobs at the NWS, but experts who spoke to WIRED say the agency accurately predicted the state&#8217;s weekend flood risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Daily Beast: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/maga-congressional-candidate-kandiss-taylor-calls-texas-floods-fake-its-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA Congressional Candidate Calls Texas Floods \u2018Fake\u2019: It\u2019s \u2018Murder\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u2018JESUS, GUNS &#038; BABIES\u2019<br \/>\nKandiss Taylor, who is running for Congress in 2026, insists that someone manipulated the weather.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>Dean Blundell: <a href=\"https:\/\/deanblundell.substack.com\/p\/canada-and-its-allies-are-crippling\" target=\"_blank\">Canada And It&#8217;s Allies Are Crippling U.S. Tourism As Trump\u2019s America Becomes the World\u2019s No-Go Zone:<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Travel bans, ICE brutality, and political interrogations at the border have made Americans pariahs.

This legislation did not happen because the public or lobbyists were clamoring for it. Instead Donald Trump and congressional Republicans wanted it and were willing to overcome public disfavor and opposition from vested interests. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>The second lesson<\/em> is that while ideas matter, expert ideas do not necessarily matter. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>The third lesson<\/em> is that you can overcome opposition to a bill that delivers a direct loss to far more people \u2014 and a direct win for far fewer \u2014 than conventional wisdom would suggest is possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Fixing the damage that the Trump bill will inflict on health care, poverty programs and clean energy will cost a lot of money: trillions of dollars that will have to be achieved through savings lest they add even more to the swelling debt.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s going to make the political hurdles even higher \u2014 and the lessons of this last round all that much more crucial. Don\u2019t get bogged down in details; focus on the idea behind the details. Don\u2019t be overly timid; not everyone is going to be a winner, and getting past this is going to require raising taxes on more than just the top 1 percent. And as much as I hate to say it, don\u2019t be too beholden to the wonks, though some of us are really pretty nice.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/07\/05\/opinion\/democrats-budget-bill-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\">(Jason Furman more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>Guardian: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/jul\/05\/vicky-pebsworth-vaccine-experts-rfk-jr\" target=\"_blank\">Nurse on new CDC vaccine panel said to have been \u2018anti-vax longer than RFK\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Vicky Pebsworth has spent decades saying vaccines caused her son\u2019s autism \u2013 a connection refuted by years of research<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>Decoding Fox News: <a href=\"https:\/\/decodingfoxnews.substack.com\/p\/an-edit-of-pete-hegseth-testimony\" target=\"_blank\">Pete Hegseth Testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee 6\/11\/25<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&#8230; The Senate is reviewing the Defense Department&#8217;s fiscal year 2026 budget.<\/p>\n<p>The full hearing was over two hours long.
