Hoosier History Highlights: 1863 Battle of Corydon
1916   Indiana’s first state park, McCormick’s Creek, was dedicated in a ceremony including Governor Samuel Ralston and Richard Lieber, founder of the state park system. Lieber called the park “a gift to Hoosiers for the state’s 100th birthday.†Starting with 350 acres at McCormick’s Creek, the state park system has grown to encompass more than 170,000 acres.
1963   The United States Post Office introduced the Zone Improvement Plan, otherwise known as Zip Codes. Indiana, along with Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan, was assigned a first number of “4.â€Â The next four numbers identified sections and areas of the postal district. (Pictured: Mr. Zip as he appeared in 1963.)
1966   Sandra Spuzich became the first Hoosier to win the United States Women’s Open Golf Tournament. Born in Indianapolis, she graduated from Washington High School and Indiana University. She was an amateur golfer who taught physical education before deciding to join the Ladies Pro Golf Association. She competed in the LPGA for over 30 years.
Supreme Court Ruling In West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan Issued The Following Statement:
“As a public health agency, EPA’s number one responsibility is to protect people’s health, especially those who are on the front lines of environmental pollution. Make no mistake: we will never waver from that responsibility.
While I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision, we are committed to using the full scope of EPA’s authorities to protect communities and reduce the pollution that is driving climate change. We will move forward to provide certainty and transparency for the energy sector, which will support the industry’s ongoing efforts to grow our clean energy economy.
At this moment, when the impacts of the climate crisis are becoming ever more disruptive, costing billions of dollars every year from floods, wildfires, droughts and sea level rise, and jeopardizing the safety of millions of Americans, the Court’s ruling is disheartening.
Ambitious climate action presents a singular opportunity to ensure U.S. global competitiveness, create jobs, lower costs for families, and protect people’s health and wellbeing, especially those who’ve long suffered the burden of inaction. EPA will move forward with lawfully setting and implementing environmental standards that meet our obligation to protect all people and all communities from environmental harm.â€

Horning Predicts The “Unpredictable”
Horning Predicts the “Unpredictedâ€
JULY 2, 2022
Freedom, IN – This past Wednesday, at the European Central Bank’s annual policy forum in Portugal, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, said, “I think we now understand better how little we understand about inflation.†He also claimed that “This was unpredicted.â€
That’s either intentional deceit or inexcusable ignorance.
Lots of us have predicted the “unpredicted,†and not only Nobel Prize-winning economists. I certainly have; in writing, campaigns and in protests. And not only this recent hockey-stick acceleration of the inflation ongoing for more than a hundred years. What’s now called “Modern Monetary Theory,†or MMT, is described and debunked in a whole chapter of my book, “The Truth about Excelsior.”
This is not just the historical and anti-constitutional problem with moneychangers, though I do agree they should bechased away with a whip of cords. The whole raison d’être of Central Banks is to monetize political debt – to make future generations pay for today’s selfish, myopic politics. Both Democratic and Republican Party politicians have been playing “Good Cop/ Bad Cop” to win public support for ever-more government power and ever-fewer human rights, prosperity, security, justice, and freedom. What’s consistent between those evil twins is that government spending, debt, corruption, divisiveness and destruction grows, no matter which of the two crony puppet parties wins.
The almost inevitable “red wave†of GOP victories will not only not fix this – it will continue our acceleration to self-destruction.
There is a fix for this, and much more besides. But it’s up to voters to make that change by using their votes as intended – as weapons of peaceful revolution.
Liberty or Bust!
