CIB is back after a July 4th holiday week with lottery strategies, what the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones monument says about our current political climate, how Croydon, NH fought back against libertarian interlopers, and what the latest NYT polling says about Democrats’ prospects in 2022 and beyond.
