While the BLM protests were going on, Florida passed a law making it illegal to block streets and highways during protests. Cubans in South Florida blocked streets in solidarity with the protesters in Cuba this week, and not a single person was arrested. ---

With the California governor recall taking place in two months, Caitlyn Jenner decided to leave the country and appear on Celebrity Big Brother in Australia. I guess she’s come to the realization that, despite her recent claim that she’s the leading Republican contender (though no poll says so), she isn’t going to win this clusterfuck. ---

Obviously, they not reach all the way north to Indiana, but back in time as well. Which is why we should not strengthen the borders, but also stop flux capacitor generators. ---

Someone needs his diaper changed because the British Open isn’t at his golf course and also wants you to know that all the other golf courses are haters and losers. > [@Loser Donald](#): > > As almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland, It is truly a magical place, the players want to be there, and at some point in time the players will be there. But this course was not chosen for The Open because they consider a wonderful person, and many-time Club Champion, named Donald J. Trump, to be too controversial—this is, of course, a false reputation caused mainly by the Fake News Media. It is a shame that the phenomenal Turnberry Golf links, the best in the World, sits empty during Open Championships, while far lesser courses are on display. Oh well, life proceeds forward! Someday The Open will be back at Turnberry. ---

Katie Hopkins, one of Individual 1’s favorite Brits, flew to Australia to appear (alongside Caitlyn Jenner) on Celebrity Big Brother. She said on social media that she was going to violate Australia’s lockdown rules by “lying in wait” for hotel workers to deliver food to her room so she could open the door “naked with no face mask”. She’s been kicked off the show and deported from Australia. > **[Katie Hopkins deported from Australia over quarantine rules](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-57883692)** > > Katie Hopkins - a far-right British commentator - bragged about plans to break isolation rules. ---

[Despite Trump’s efforts](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/world/europe/trump-british-open.html), the Open was last at Turnberry in 2009, five years before he bought it. Clearly all the “great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados” know something different about which courses are “greatest”. Venues are already selected through 2024 (St Andrews, Royal Liverpool and Royal Troon for 2022-2024), but good luck getting Turnberry chosen for future Opens now, Donald. ---
