So, the Artemis II crew splashed back down to Earth. Big whoop. Another taxpayer-funded vacation to orbit the moon. But hey, at least they didn't bring back any woke lunar rocks or start a pronoun debate in zero gravity.

Let's be real, the Artemis program is basically Apollo on steroids, except instead of winning the Cold War, we're just trying to keep up with China. It's like buying a new pickup truck just to haul groceries. Sure, it looks cool, but is it really necessary?

Speaking of global threats, Iran is still being Iran, halting oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz even after Trump called a ceasefire. These guys are playing 4D chess while Biden is still trying to figure out where he left his Depends. This is why we need a strong commander-in-chief, not some geriatric grandpa.

Meanwhile, back on terra firma, SCOTUS is actually doing something useful by blocking some Ohio candidate who was probably planning to rig the election. And in California, a coffee chain finally grew a pair and pulled their virtue-signaling Pride flags. Maybe there's hope for this country yet.

Then you got Philadelphians beating up Uber Eats robots. Classic. Can't have robots taking our jobs, even if those jobs are delivering lukewarm cheesesteaks. These are the same libs who want to abolish ICE and let criminals run wild. And speaking of criminals, what’s the deal with the husband of the missing American woman? Seems kinda sus, ngl.

Melania Trump is out there defending herself from Epstein smears, which is just sad. Leave the woman alone. She's got enough to deal with without the media digging up ancient history. As for the rest of these politicians, they’re all blowhards, according to Ben Sasse, and he’s not wrong. Ivanka Trump's grief is tragic, too. But politicians should fix gas prices instead.

The recall of Bissell steamers is just another sign that everything is made in China and breaks after a week. Rising property taxes is a reminder that the government is always coming for your wallet. And Sen. Fetterman’s comments on media relations with Iran? Yikes. I'm not sure he even knows what he's saying half the time.

Basically, the world is going to hell in a handbasket, but at least we got some sweet space pics to distract us from the impending apocalypse. Just don't expect any of that sweet, sweet lunar regolith anytime soon. That stuff's for the elites, not us deplorables. Keep stacking silver, folks.

California's new plan to exclude men from areas is hilarious, like the professor being callous. At least there’s that California school district trying to block ICE. Progress is hard, sometimes.
