The UN voted 141-8 to adopt a resolution backing a world court opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change.

The US was in the 8, with gems like Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Belarus. Bad company.

10 MLB hitters currently have 20 HR and 60 RBI. Three of them play for the Washington Nationals: James Wood, CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr.

Foster Griffin: 7 innings, 1 run, 0 walks, 9 strikeouts. That's 7 consecutive starts allowing 0 or 1 run. His ERA is 2.77. His WHIP is 1.015. Given past events, I won't assume what's going to happen with this 8-1 lead, but he legitimately should have 12 wins at this point.

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

The guy who created Fortnite (Tim Sweeney) has been quietly buying up U.S. forests to save them from developers.

He has spent over $200M to buy 50,000+ acres of wilderness in North Carolina, using permanent legal protections to block any future logging or building.

Programming advisory: One of the greatest moments in Wizards/Bullets history, if not the greatest moment, will re-air today at noon Eastern on Monumental Sports Network, per the network's schedule. It's Game 7 of the 1978 NBA Finals, with the Bullets facing the SuperSonics in Seattle. It's also fascinating to see how much the NBA game has changed over the last 48 years.
