American Fact of the Day!
Death Valley Is the Lowest Point: At 282 feet below sea level, Death Valley in California is the lowest point in North America. Death Valley’s ominous name was earned from early lost pioneers. While all but one lived, they assumed this foreboding desert would be their final resting place.

Chicago Mayor Begs and Pleads for Help With Illegal Immigration Crisis in Schadenfreude Overload
Radical Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has suddenly discovered that supporting open borders isn't all fun and games. While giving an impassioned plea on Wednesday, the Democrat begged President Joe Biden to send help to his already crime-ridden disaster of a city.
Saying that Chicago has "reached a critical point in this mission," Johnson pleaded with the Biden administration to stage a "significant intervention" as illegal immigrants continue to pour in.
It doesn't have to be this way. Voters could change course and start electing politicians who aren't promising to bring ruin to their cities. Until that happens, the pain will continue, and it should continue. No one who has supported open border policies should be able to escape the ramifications of that. Rather, they should be made to feel them the most.

Lauren Boebert Calls It Quits in Her Colorado District
In a surprise move, Rep. Lauren Boebert announced on Wednesday evening via Facebook that she will not be running for re-election in Colorado's third congressional district.
The controversial congresswoman was facing an uphill re-election battle and has instead decided to run in the fourth district, which is on the other side of the state. She's no shoo-in to be the general election candidate there either, with a very crowded primary field awaiting her arrival on the scene.
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert announced Wednesday night that she is ditching her reelection bid next year in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District to run instead in the state’s 4th Congressional District, which is on the other side of the state and is far more favorable to Republicans. Boebert won by just 546 votes last year in the 3rd District, which spans Colorado’s Western Slope into Pueblo and southeastern Colorado. The 4th District is anchored in Douglas County and includes Loveland and the state’s rural Eastern Plains.
The fourth district is currently held by Rep. Ken Buck, who is retiring. Buck is one of the more moderate members of the Republican caucus, and while the district itself should deliver a Republican victory in the general, Boebert has to get there first. How palatable she'll be to an electorate that has been sending someone like Buck to Washington is a very open question.
Was there some backroom dealing going on in that respect? I don't know, but it's possible that this decision could be the difference in keeping or losing the House majority.
