America Is an Idea Worth Defending

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Independence Day, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends! The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is spending the day mocking commies via something called “interpretive grilling.” 





This is going to be a very quick one this morning. I’m not going to be the guy who gets between patriots and Independence Day hot dogs. 

The only news thing I’ll hit here is the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which Chris wrote about here. I won’t get into the particulars of the bill — it’s a big one, as we all know. It is an important win for President Trump, obviously. He got the Republicans to play nice with each other, if only for a little while. That is no small feat. 

We have all been exhausted by the tug-of-war between the president’s executive orders and activist progressive judges; it is important that the Republicans get as much done as they can legislatively while they’ve got both the House and the Senate. We’ve had enough of the Legislative Branch punting responsibilities to the Executive for too many years. It reflects extremely well on Trump that he was able make Congress do its job. 

He’s worked hard, he deserves the prime optics of signing the bill into law on Independence Day. 

Any day that America’s Dumbest Bartender is sad is a good day for America.

I haven’t been off on the 4th of July since 2020, and that wasn’t exactly a summer known for its fun and frivolity. I may already be several beers in by the time you read this. My good friend Kira Davis joined me on the latest episode of “The Kruiser Kabana” to talk about how refreshing it is to be able to celebrate Independence Day with a real president in office. A president who loves America, no less. 





Yeah, I’m going to enjoy this. I hope all of you do as well.

Have great one, and God Bless America!
