July 2026: Not a Good Start



July 2026 was not a good start.

Not for me.

I am not alone.

My area Detroit, Michigan closed out June and began July 2026 with near-100 degrees in temperatures. “Extreme Heat Warning.”

Friday, July 3, 2026—say, during the hour of 06:00 p.m. ET—delivered us storms which included up to 75 miles per hour in some areas. Lots of damage. (Including, as seen in the above picture, some trees.) Massive numbers of power outages. Thankfully, this did not include me. But as a subscriber of Comcast, my Internet was out for three days.

This is why this first of two blog topics, for July 2026, arrives late.

I was going to have a topic, related to the “insurgents” in recent Democratic primaries (New York on Tuesday, June 23, 2026; Colorado on Tuesday, June 30, 2026), but then we were hit with a scandal involving Graham Platner, the 2026 Democratic U.S. Senate nominee from Maine, and the dropout of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow from Michgan. A bit of a ride. And, for me, one I did not want to take given the stressful experiences this first week of July 2026.




‘Israel is an irrational war machine’

Jamarl Thomas recently welcomed Garland Nixon as his guest.

In this video, published to YouTube on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Nixon perhaps astutely described what has become of the U.S.’s partner under its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

The running time is just over 35 minutes.

The next blog topic will be published on Monday, July 20, 2026.
