THE BIG PICTURE

Worshipping Moloch in Massachusetts – “Last week in the birthplace of our American fight for freedom, liberty, and independence, the state of Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey signed into law the murder of children in the womb right up to their birth. First, let me make something very clear: in the military, we “abort” a mission when something is not going as planned. What Gov. Healey signed into law was the permission and acceptance to enact infanticide by way of dismembering unborn babies in the womb. A mother’s womb is supposed to be the safest place for God’s everyday miracle, life. Yet Maura Healey and the accompanying priestesses of Moloch, who smiled and clapped, have now condoned the shedding of innocent blood, and for what reason? Why is it that these so-called “college-educated, elitist, leftist” women have such a disdain for our unborn babies that they would embrace their brutal, disgusting death, ” – Allen West

The Book of Enoch and abortion. Taught by the Nephilim as an occult ritual. Killing babies as laws. – LawyerLisa

The Real Affordability Crisis: Our Government is Unaffordable – “Every politician in America now claims to care about “affordability.” Housing is unaffordable. Healthcare is unaffordable. College is unaffordable. Insurance is unaffordable. Groceries are unaffordable. Raising a family increasingly feels like running a leveraged buyout with no exit strategy. And Washington’s answer is almost always the same: spend more money.” – Kerry Lutz

Fauci Email Bomb: FDA Knew About Covid Vaccine Injuries – “Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul dropped another single from Anthony Fauci’s Greatest Hits album over the weekend, and the dance floor is shook. This isn’t a remix of “Safe and Effective” or the extended club version of “Trust the Science.” This particular track features the acting commissioner of the FDA herself privately belting out a tune that got the rest of us kicked off Twitter.” – Jenna McCarthy

Does the PREP Act Shield Fauci & Walensky from Liability for Concealing Miscarriage Risk? – “The 2005 PREP Act laid the foundation for the organized criminal creation of SARS-CoV-2 and the organized criminal pandemic response. Can Fauci and Walensky rely on its liability shield?” – John Leake

Realignments – “We civilians are stuck between that old rock and a hard place. . . two political parties whirling around the drain of extinction in a nation seeming to drift toward the edge of the known world. In the background, a massive realignment grinds away. The old parties of labor and of property have forgotten their reasons for existence. Labor vamoosed to Mexico, China, and obscure faraway lands decades ago. Property is still here, but it’s all been collateralized into grift and fraud. In the absence of working people to defend, the Democrats became a party of racketeering race-and-gender hobgoblins, now marshaling into an insectile host of predatory Marxists, and altogether their antics present as a spectrum of mental illness.The clueless old gorks in charge of the Democratic Party — the likes of Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Mark Warner, Liz Warren, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse — are suddenly nowhere to be seen (or heard). ” – James Howard Kunstler

All But Seven House Republicans Committed Treason – “All but seven house Republicans committed treason and voted for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The seven Republicans that did not commit treason are, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY); Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK); Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN); Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ); Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY); Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL); Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX. The rest of the House Republicans that voted for the NDAA committed treason because the bill integrates U.S. military operations with the state of Israel. ” – Joseph Sansone

DNC Votes to Back Eliminating ICE as Trump Expands Deportations – “The Democratic National Committee (DNC) approved resolutions on Saturday addressing immigration enforcement, with members backing a measure urging lawmakers to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while also more strongly approving a separate proposal calling for reforms to the agency.” – Steve Mollman

For the American Left, Nothing Succeeds as Much as Failure – “From New York to California, the American left is proving that nothing succeeds like failure. In areas ranging from immigration to taxes to health care, politicians are playing to their past fiascos to push an even more radical agenda. Take immigration. Many, including the Democratic Socialists, have called for open borders or disbanding ICE. After the Biden administration chose to allow millions of undocumented people to enter the country, most Democrats are now calling for “pathways” to make them citizens. After all, they argue, there are too many to deport. We now know the open border was a choice. The Trump administration immediately stopped crossings using the same laws Biden had refused to enforce. As expected, Democrats are expressing horror at the thought that the government would try to deport the millions that they allowed and even encouraged to enter the country.” – Jonathan Turley

Trump dwarfs his predecessors in the number of ultra-rich in his second White House, report shows – “Wealth, perhaps second only to loyalty, has been a prized attribute for Donald Trump during his second presidency. It’s the numbers for the Trump administration, in the context of previous administrations, that stand out in Public Citizen’s report, published on Monday. In all, 57 Trump officials are worth at least $100 million, including 17 ambassadors and the remaining 40 in senior posts across the executive branch.” – Thomas Beaumont

Oilpocalypse—Yes, No, Or Maybe? – “Can An Oil Supply Crisis Be Averted? The war between Iran and the US has been functionally reduced to a simple question: will the Strait of Hormuz be reopened as a freely navigable international waterway? As of this writing, the Strait has not been reopened. Iran has declared the Strait closed, while the US Navy is blockading all Iranian shipping. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Persian Gulf oil is effectively removed from the global oil marketplace—approximately 20% of global supply is not currently accessible.” – Peter Nayland Kust

An Oily Conundrum – “The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oh, you can claim otherwise, but it is effectively closed. The claims of our government otherwise are simply not borne out in the supply of oil; you can claim something went through a channel but then it has to wind up somewhere, and it hasn’t. Never mind Marinetraffic which continues to show a crap-ton of vessels at anchor on both sides of it rather than moving through it — and a crap-ton of tankers that are “technically” moving, but at a fraction of a knot. There are a lot of vessels just sitting in the gulf. Contrast with the strait to the WSW around Yemen where there is clearly traffic moving. Then again blocking that is not a one-way exit in that the Suez is available to the North, albeit rather inconvenient if your destination is in Asia. So what’s going on here? Well, quite-obviously the markets don’t think this is a big deal otherwise both oil would be in the stratosphere and the markets would be in the tank because without fuel, particularly diesel, nothing moves. Neither is occurring.” – Karl Denninger

Buried Job Losses Prove a Stealth Recession Has Been Haunting us All along! – “Trump’s “Golden Era” only gilds the upper arm of the K-shaped economy, and “Big Beautiful Bill” and his fat and spendy siblings are a hyuge part of the problem.” – David Haggith

Is This the Start of Gold and Silver’s Next Leg Higher? – Money Metals News Service

We Are In A War-Time Economy. That’s Bullish. – “That’s also why productivity, not just spending, is holding this economy up even with job growth flat. Real GDP averaged above 2.5% over the back half of 2025 even with negative headline job growth, because AI-driven productivity gains are increasingly doing the work labor used to do. Microsoft says 35% of its code is now written by AI. Meta cut 21,000 jobs while INCREASING output. S&P 500 revenue growth has slowed to around 5%, yet earnings per share are still growing at roughly 12% year over year, because margins keep expanding even as top-line growth cools. Slower revenue, expanding margins. That’s exactly what a genuine productivity boom looks like, and it’s a big reason the market keeps shrugging off headlines that would have tanked stocks in any other cycle.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Rising Bond Yields Are a Warning to the US Treasury and the Fed – “The Fed is not in a good spot.” – Mish

The Fed Has Two Bad Choices – Americans Pay Either Way – “Have you ever had one of those conversations that start off, “I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news for you?” The good news is that inflation is “less bad” (yes, that is the phrase that the Associated Press used). So, inflation isn’t as bad as it was. That’s the good news. But you’ll notice that they didn’t say that the inflation rate is “good.” And that’s because, based on the Fed’s target inflation rate… and what it feels like every time that we go shopping,, the inflation rate isn’t good (which is the first part of the bad news, if you hadn’t already guessed)” – .Peter Reagan

No Matter Where You Go, There You Are – “I have no doubt that everyone who has not lived their life on a desert island has heard this worn out cliche, or some variation of it. Yet, as is so often the case, this saying has become a cliche because it it is obviously true. In every moment, and in every place, we are always ourselves, neither more nor less. We do not transform as if by magic into a completely different person merely by changing locations. All that we are—all our hopes, all our dreams, and all our fears necessarily come along for the ride. No matter where we go, there we are, and there we will be. Whatever God calls us to do, whatever plan He has for our lives, will always be there as well.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide – “No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. Even with all that, worse was planned. CDC issued a plan for establishing nationwide quarantine camps. ” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

In Defense of Luigi – “The man who shot (and killed) the insurance mafia CEO is seen by some as a sympathetic figure. Perhaps because insurance mafia CEOs cut a very unsympathetic figure. He – the insurance mafia CEO – had it coming, some might say. This doesn’t mean Luigi didn’t commit murder. John Gotti did that when he took out “Big Paul” Castellano outside of Sparks Steak House in New York. Gotti was a thug, certainly – but so was Castellano. Regardless, the fact remains that the health insurance mafia is exactly like the car insurance mafia in that both leveraged the government to force people to fork it over. That is strong-arm robbery by any reasonable understanding and almost everyone understands that everyone has a natural right to defend themselves when confronted by a strong-armed robber. The health insurance mafia emulates these same tactics. It extorts and it extracts and when it is asked to pay, it denies. This made Luigi angry – as it has made most of us angry. Is there anyone who thinks the health insurance mafia isn’t one? That likes these mafiosi? We have all heard about people bankrupted and hounded by these mafiosi for every last cent they can extract. This is not to say Luigi didn’t murder that man. Just as John Gotti took out “Big Paul.”” – Eric Peters

In Memoriam: The US Gold Dollar (Like It Or Not, It Will Be Forced Back And Soon ) – “Unknown to may, the drive for disconnecting the dollar from gold was headed not by President Nixon but by David Rockefeller’s former personal assistant and future Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Volker is lauded as having saved the US dollar by raising the Fed Funds Rate to 19% in 1980 when, in reality, Volker doomed it by pitching the dollar overboard into a sea of assured continual debasement. With the disconnect of America’s dollar from gold, America’s gold was thereafter statically held by the US Treasury as a strategic asset at three primary vault locations: West Point, NY, Denver, Colorado and at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Rumors started to arise about America’s vaulted gold and continue to this day with Rand Paul assuring the world that Fort Knox gold was “present and accounted for” after he toured Fort Knox on Monday last week.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can’t come around
At least please telephone
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please, let’s forget my past
The future looks bright ahead
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

Don’t stop thinking of me
Don’t make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
Why should we be apart?
I really love you, baby, cross my heart

Let’s walk up to the preacher
And let us say, “I do,”
Then you’ll know you’ll have me
And I’ll know that I’ll have you
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

ELVIS PASSED AWAY 49 YEARS AGO TODAY.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK (BONUS REPEAT FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO)

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

Just a country boy
That combed his hair
And he put on a shirt his mother made
And went on the air

And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

How he took it all
Out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand
And he held on tight

And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake, his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

He was all alone
In a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was
That he fell down and died

When he shook it and it rang like silver
He shook it and it shined like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well, bless my soul, bless my soul

I was thinking that night about Elvis

( Elvis Presley Blues by Gillian Welch )

Tucker, Candace and Caitlin- All Our Cucks in a Row – “Seatching for White Hats. Recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed Hunter Biden. It was a friendly interview. Extremely cordial. Bizarrely cordial. Like two old boys from the upper crust sitting down together. Which they are. Hunter was talking about the disparity of wealth like he was Huey Long. A crack addicted Huey Long with no real convictions. He’s clearly strapped for cash.” – Donald Jeffries

Fauci & Walensky Obviously Guilty of Criminal Negligence – “Standard of evidence for prosecuting the NIAID & CDC directors for “criminal negligence” clearly met. We live in a strange era in which the criminal conduct of our ruling class is so painfully obvious that it often gives me a headache. It’s as though millions of people cannot see it because it is so painfully obvious because the mind assumes that the criminal conduct of official authorities must be concealed in a sophisticated way.” – .John Leake

Celebrities Look Emaciated And Like Zombies Because Of Ozempic, But Is This Part Of A Dark Trend To Condition The Masses? – “There is a theory going around that suggests that this wave of celebrities losing so much weight they look gaunt and emaciated, is because the industry is conditioning people for the coming famine…” – The WinePress

There was nothing racist about the media scrutiny of Jason Arday – “It is sinister and tyrannical to use the ‘racism’ charge to shut down public discussion. Yet to the identitarian left, he was black, and thus all criticism of him is bigotry. But not one of the claims of the racism-spotters stacks up.” – Brendan O’Neill

Lily (& TWW) Take On the ‘Liberal’ Agenda to Destroy Marriage… (Well, mostly Lily – I just made the images.) – “CNN recently published an article on their website claiming that ‘cuckolding’ might be good for your relationship. It isn’t.. CNN published an article on their website this week telling you that watching your wife having sex with some random black guy half your age is going to be good for your marriage. That’s not me exaggerating. That’s what they’re selling. They call it cuckolding and they say it can be positive for some couples. Yeah… If your goal is divorce maybe. And CNN put a caption under it saying that acting on adulterous fantasies might make your marriage stronger. This is sick. Plain and simple.” – Lily-Rose Dawson and 🐺The Wise Wolf

When the Past is Disallowed—The Future Becomes Certain – “In a world where the West is utterly propagandized to think the worst of China, Russia, and Iran, China is viewed more favorably in 26 of 37 countries surveyed, including US allies/neighbors Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, and Britain. We are deeply propagandized, dulling our collective senses such that we allow a moron with orange hair to dismantle the world. Iran has all the cards. They are producing missiles faster than they use them, and there is nothing Trump can do about it. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan have signed a mutual defense pact, that amounts to security agreements without US involvement. It’s crude and politically motivated, but it speaks to nations wanting out from under the US yoke, nations that want to flex sovereignty among nations with whom they share proximity.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

Much More Minus Trump – “The relationship with Israel, the war on Iran, and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, all interrelated, are destroying Trump’s presidency. Another well-founded suspicion is that Trump was blackmailed by the Israelis into waging war on Iran. A more benign explanation is that he was bribed with donations from wealthy Jews. Either way—and it may well be both—the war on Iran has not gone as planned or advertised.” – Robert Gore  – HAS BEEN A WHILE, BUT ROBERT STILL WRITES GREAT ARTICLES. GOOD TO SEE HIM BACK TEMPORARILY!!!

“Pay a Tiny Bit More For Your Gasoline” – “In New York the other day, Trump told his audience – which actually cheered – that it’s not a big deal at all and well worth it “for you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline just remember, you’re doing. . . so that a very evil country cannot have . . . a country really cannot have . . . it’s the number one state sponsor of terror in the world . . . we don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon . . . remember that when you have to pay a little bit more you’re at $4, ok, I mean I’ll never apologize I did the right thing.” It makes you miss (almost) that well-known scholar, former president George W. Bush. By year’s end, the average American will have had to spend more than $1,000 extra on gas. Pocket change for Trump. He is as clueless as George W. Bush’s father (who was puzzled about the cost of a gallon of milk) but with the added element of imperial contempt. Of course, Trump also thinks no cost is too high for Americans to pay on behalf of Israel and “Bibi” Netanyahu. The latter literally gave Trump (and before him, The Chimp) the talking points about Iran being the “number one state sponsor of terror in the world . . . we don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon,” which “Bibi” has been warning the Iranians are going to possess any day now since the early 1990s.” – Eric Peters

TRUMP THE COWARD PRESIDENT. – “Apparently, when the coward president creates an energy crisis, you are supposed to consider the higher bill an act of patriotism. And then there is the USS Abraham Lincoln. The carrier has been deployed for more than 260 days, including more than 240 uninterrupted days at sea, a modern record. THE COWARD PRESIDENT responded that it had been “not nearly long enough.”” – Gregory Mannarino

The buck stops somewhere else: A look at Trump’s tendency to avoid blame when things go awry – ” It is among the most famous phrases in presidential history: “ The buck stops here.” Except with President Donald Trump, it almost never does.” – Will Weissert

The Trumps’ Crypto Project Just Got One Step Closer to Becoming a Bank – “A regulatory charter for World Liberty Financial could be “the most brazen act of self-dealing our system has ever seen.” The move certainly seems likely to strengthen the pocketbooks of the president and his family: Democratic lawmakers are pointing to the regulatory green light as an example of Trump’s corruption. On Friday, as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced the move, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote on social media that “this is the most brazen act of self-dealing our system has ever seen.”” – Sophie Hurwitz

War On Iran: Six Months Later – The Astonishing Size Of The U.S. Defeat – “January 28 2026: The U.S. sent a carrier force to threaten Iran. It made a number of extensive demands. August 15 2026: Due to Iranian counter measures the carrier mission largely failed It is leaving the Middle East. The carrier will be replaced by a different one. But the U.S. has only ten of these and to keep one ship on station requires two additional ones for refit and training. Six of the ten carriers will thus be bound near the Strait which leaves just one ready to take care of the rest of the world. They are doing high-fives in Beijing. The demands towards Iran are gone. The first concern for Trump is now political survival.” – Moon of Alabama

Iran Takes a Page From U.S. World War II History: Gold Becomes the Price of Passage Through Hormuz – “As Washington seeks control, Tehran is turning the world’s crucial energy chokepoint into a gold-settlement gateway, forcing U.S. allies to pay for passage.

US Has Lost 25% Of Its Reaper Drones In War With Iran – “The US has lost at least 45 Reaper drones during the Iran war, American defense officials were quoted as saying. The same officials estimate that this constitutes roughly 25% of the Pentagon’s fleet.” – The WinePress

Patriots Won’t Let Communists Take America – “Our enemies took over the universities. They took over the Deep State. They see total victory within their sights. But they’ve never seen American patriots actually fight. We are not sheep for the wolves to devour. We are the hunters who scare the wolves away.” – J.B. Shurk

It Was DESTROYED In Just Days… Take heed Europe – “In a matter of days, once-pristine beaches in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta have been reduced to open-air dumps and disease-ridden camps occupied by thousands of illegal migrants who refused to leave after the mass invasion from Morocco. Locals describe feces, urine, garbage, and makeshift shacks covering the sand. Contagious illnesses are spreading. Mass brawls with bladed weapons have broken out.” – Steve Watson

I mean, look, if you look at silver at $66, it’s officially in a new bull market, you know, if you want to use the 20% rule. I mean, we’re 20% off the bottom and we did that in 6 days.

Why the Bond Market is Squeezing Fed Chair Warsh – “Making sense of conflicting economic data can be tricky. Particularly when the data is fabricated by government bean counters. The task for the casual observer is to discern what is real and what is just statistical sleight of hand designed to obscure economic weakness. If you quickly perused the July employment report published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on August 7, you likely noted two contradictory data points. In July, the U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs. Wall Street was expecting the addition of 83,000 jobs. Yet, at the same time, the official unemployment rate dropped from 4.2 percent to 4.1 percent.” – MN Gordon  – NOTED ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY IN AN ARTICLE BY PETER ST ONGE!!!

Tyson Foods will close or sell three US beef facilities as industry struggles- “Tyson Foods said on Thursday it will close or sell three of its beef plant and packaging operation sites, further shrinking its beef footprint as a historic U.S. cattle shortage deepens losses for the largest U.S. meatpacker. The company will end operations at its beef facility in Joslin, Illinois, and its case-ready beef facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah, and pursue the sale of its beef plant in Pasco, Washington. The latest restructuring follows the January shutdown of Tyson’s massive beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska, which had about 3,200 workers and could process roughly 5,000 cattle per day, according to an industry estimate. Tyson also reduced its Amarillo plant to one full-capacity shift, affecting about 1,700 workers.” – P.J.

Improvised Emergency First Aid – What to Do When You Have No Supplies – “Print Friendly, PDF & Email A stocked first aid kit is not always within reach.

Hopefully, you have a lights out box and know how to survive a power outage. But did you know your car’s battery can supply you with quick access to power? In fact, if the power is out for a long period of time, you could join together multiple car batteries to create a power bank. But you’ll have to do a little homework and some advance planning first.” – Steve Nubie

How Much Ammunition Is Enough? – “Ammunition shortages rarely arrive with a formal warning. An increase in demand, manufacturing interruption, import difficulty or regulatory change can empty shelves remarkably quickly. Popular cartridges disappear first, prices rise, and shooters begin conserving whatever remains. The predictable reaction is to buy as much ammunition as possible whenever it becomes available. That may produce an impressive stack of boxes, but it does not necessarily create a useful reserve. Every firearm should have a clearly defined role. That role determines the amount and type of ammunition worth keeping.” – denob  – GOOD ONE FROM THE CANADIAN PREPPER!!!

A curious assurance, seeing as in the Senate hearing, Hawley brought up Walmart’s patent for a spiffy new shopping cart—one equipped with sensors capable of tracking the cart’s speed as well as the shopper’s heart rate and body temperature. This information, you’ll be overjoyed to learn, can then be used to assign the shopper an “agitation score.” Yes, an agitation score. This cart, you see, was not designed merely to transport your avocados and almond butter to the checkout—how quaint—but is also compiling a handy biometric profile on you like a rogue Fitbit ratting you out to corporate.” – Jenna McCarthy

The Camp of the Saints Has Come Home to America, a Doomed Nation – “Americans are unaware of how infiltrated their legal and political institutions are by immigrant-invaders. Americans, thanks to corrupt Presidents, even have immigrant-invaders as judges who use their positions to rule against deportations of illegal aliens including dangerous criminals. Well funded immigration activists have funded 20,000 lawsuits to force the release of immigrant-invaders. Perhaps you wonder the cost of 20,000 lawsuits? Yes, it is a multi-billion dollar operation that some people are getting rich off of. Who are the people so intent that America becomes a tower of babel as to spend billions of dollars to achieve their purpose? No one knows the whole story, and of course the presstitute media is not interested.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – JEAN RASPAILS NOVEL HAS COME TO FRUITION!!!

Things Get Spicy – “And so, all of a sudden, having failed to subvert or assassinate the president they abhor, and foil his attempt to repair our country, the combined forces of the Democratic Party, the seditious news media, and a traitorous government bureaucracy resort to communist jihad in their crusade to wreck the USA. There’s a sort of last-gasp feeling about all this. Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman el Sayed put it nicely the other day when he said of his opponents, “When they go low, we go lower.” True dat. Cue the communist jihadis to stage street-actions (a.k.a. “riots”) this fall in their captive cities and states.

Switching Presidential Planes in Ankara – “Hardly a week goes by when Donald Trump is not the centerpiece and source of a lie so outrageous or an accusation so heinous that one has to sit back gazing at one’s computer screen, stunned by the audacity and shaking one’s head in disbelief. But even after what is now more than a year and a half of exposure to Trumpism, there is sometimes an insult, or a gesture, or an insane narrative that moves one to something beyond that, akin to shock in the realization that it is our country and even a large part of the world that is being damaged by the asinine performance. Even given Trump’s ignorance and demonstrated lack of empathy for anyone else but himself, this Prisoner of Zenda-like escape from Air Force One through a cart used to deliver meals to the plane reminds one of how a somber Rod Serling used to intone “We have now entered the Twilight Zone.” ” – Philip Giraldi

In Republican-led Iowa, the GOP nominee for governor introduces an anti-establishment message – “Farmer Tim Burrack had concerns about the Republican nominee for Iowa governor — and he wasn’t the only one.

So when Lahn came to his farm last week, Burrack questioned him on his approach to agriculture. “I hit him pretty hard,” said Burrack, who was considering whether to vote for Lahn in November or not vote at all.” – Hannah Fingerhut

At the same time, the Russian foreign minister signalled that Moscow intended to step up attacks aimed at disrupting Western military assistance to Ukraine.” – FP News Desk

July PPI: Producer Prices Running Colder – “Where Is The Energy Price Inflation?” – Peter Nayland Kust

Jobs Fall, but Unemployment Rate Gets Better – “This gave ammunition to both sides: The doomers point to falling jobs, the optimists point to an unemployment rate that matches or beats 90% of months over the past 50 years. So which is it: Are we in a jobs recession? Or is a falling labor force a good thing? But the bigger issue is the main driver of the paradox right now is millions of Americans are dropping out of the workforce. As in there’s fewer jobs, but there’s even fewer people in the workforce. Which mechanically reduces the unemployment rate because the unemployment rate doesn’t measure everyone without a job. It measures people without jobs who are actively looking for work, divided by the total labor force. In other words, if somebody loses a job and looks for another one, that person is unemployed. But if he gives up searching, retires or otherwise leaves the labor force, the government no longer counts him as unemployed.” – Peter St Onge  – HAVE EXPLAINED IT BEFORE IN OLDER LINKS, BUT SOME DON’T REALIZE THIS!!!

Sentiment now positive for gold – “There’s a sea-change underway in investor attitudes towards gold and silver. Markets now see growing risk to the dollar as a consequence of oil supply disruption. When America first attacked Iran on 28 February, gold and silver prices declined: gold from $5320 and silver from $93. Admittedly, both were vulnerable to a severe bout of bull market indigestion which was hardly propitious. But the suggestion of deferred interest rate deductions appeared to work against precious metal prices. Meanwhile, the equity and other bubbles continued to be inflated by free-flowing credit. Just about the only sensible arguments as to why this was the case veers towards conspiracies: bullion banks using febrile investor psychology that they should liquidate their positions before they lose even more. Sentiment became about as negative as it could get, with open interest on Comex falling to exceptionally low levels. It is a fact that while speculators in both west and east have been forced out of paper gold and silver, China and allied partners have been accumulating physical.” – Alasdair Macleod – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM ALASDAIR ON THE METALS MARKET!!!

How To Save Seeds From Your Garden: A Beginner’s Guide – Homesteaders of America  – HAVE LINKED SIMILAR IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS A VERY GOOD GUIDE!!

Bugging Out to the National Forest Is a Good Way to Die Slowly – “Somewhere in your house there is probably a backpack packed with a ferro rod, folding saw, tarp, water filter, snare wire, first-aid kit and several days of food. The idea behind it is simple: when everything falls apart, you load the family into the truck, drive until the road ends, shoulder the bag and disappear into the national forest. Once you are out there, you will build a shelter, collect water, forage for plants, trap small game and hunt deer. You will avoid the crowds, live off the land and wait for civilization to settle down. It sounds good because the person imagining it is always healthy, well-rested and standing in a climate-controlled house with a full stomach. The forest in that fantasy is empty, the weather is manageable, the animals are everywhere and nobody else had the same idea.” – OFFGRID Survival

THE BIG PICTURE

If More Evidence Were Needed . . . – “It’s sometimes difficult for the brain when hopes do not align with contrary facts. Trump was re-elected, at least in part, because those who voted for him thought that he was different than “Joe Biden” and Kamala Harris. Turns out he is – just not in the way people thought. People thought he was “MAGA.” Does anyone hear that term said anymore – other than accompanied by snickers? Turns out he is MIGA and many other things that are contrary to Making America Great Again. He’s also a drug pusher. He just anointed one of the worst such – Dr. Erica Schwartz. She is the younger, female and black re-incarnation of Dr. Fauci. She has a record of pushing drugs on people in the military, over whom she had authoritah when she was a rear admiral in the Coast Guard and – the big tell – when she was deputy surgeon general during Trump’s first term.” – Eric Peters

Trump Signs Meaningless Executive “Order” on Childhood Vaccine Schedule – Midterm Election Campaign Stunt? – “I have learned that anytime something is published in the corporate media about a presidential “Executive Order” (EO), the best thing to do first is to look up the actual EO to see what it actually says. I knew right away, for example, that these headlines could NOT be true, because the office of the President of the United States cannot dictate vaccine policy, and, in fact, there are no alternatives to the 3-vaccine combo of the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine, and it is impossible to get them individually, EO or not, because the drug companies do not even make them.” – Brian Shilhavy

The Greater Good Is Not Your Good – “When government wants something you have — your wealth, your land, your labor, your liberty — someone reaches for this phrase. The greater good. The left uses it. The right uses it. It has synonyms. Common good. Shared sacrifice. For the benefit of society. In the name of public welfare. National interest. Public interest. Stakeholder value. You rarely hear these terms used in the same paragraph as liberty or freedom.” – John Hunt, MD

The Right to Be Left Alone – “What if the federal government captures in real time the contents of every telephone call, email and text message and all the fiber-optic data generated by every person and entity in the United States 24/7?  What if the service providers were coerced into giving the feds continuous physical access to their computers and thus to all the data contained in and passing through those computers?” – Judge Andrew P.

THE BIG PICTURE

Flock All The Way Off – “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording everything that’s going on. — Larry Ellison Founder of Oracle (2024) That above quote says it all. When Larry Ellison uttered it two years ago, there were 40,000 Flock cameras littering American public spheres. Today, the public surveillance dragnet that is… FOR YOUR SAFETY!!! …continues to spread like a cancer across all fifty states with over 120,000 cameras violating the Fourth Amendment rights of Americans around 20 BILLION times each month. These total information awareness cameras are not license plate readers, but facial recognition cameras that also track digital devices, mapping the location and activities of every tax-paying citizen, creating social graphs of association and proximity, based on patterns of behavior. They will combine these social graphs and public movements with online data siphoned off all dumb phones. All of this is being orchestrated by private corporations colluding with the government (subsidized by taxpayers) to create the future shackles for citizens who are not on their best behavior or have bad thoughts about “greatest allies.” Once their digital currency goes online, and behavior (and thoughts) is tied to being able to spend that currency, it’s checkmate in one move for these demons.” – The Good Citizen

It’s not just Fauci – “I’m more than a little sick of talking about Anthony Fauci. The little dude who was so full of himself that he tried to argue every attack on him was an attack on science itself is only sitting free because of a pardon of questionable legality, at least in my opinion. And I find everything we’ve learned about him to be morally disgusting, and the latest revelation is nothing new. It’s not just Fauci who is the problem. It’s damn near everyone involved in the system itself. The problem is that the government is full of people like this. They use their official connections to land lucrative jobs later on, or engage in shady and illegal bribery under the guise of things like book deals or through congressional insider trading. Of all the things I’d like to preserve in this world, the feeling that our government might not always be competent, but it wasn’t truly evil—something I’m not sure was ever actually true, mind you—is at the top of the list.” – Tom Knighton

The Posse Comitatus Presidency: Trump’s Standing Army on American Streets – “The National Guard was just the beginning. One year after President Trump deployed military troops to the nation’s capital, we find ourselves navigating a posse comitatus presidency in which the visual trappings of martial law are the norm, not the exception. The Founders warned against standing armies on American soil, fearing that the military might someday be used not to defend the people but to control them. They understood something Americans are being encouraged to forget: soldiers and police serve fundamentally different purposes. When the president sends troops to police domestic unrest that civilian authorities are capable of handling, he crosses a dangerous constitutional line.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Strait of Fire: How Hormuz is destabilizing the oil monarchies – “With Iran demanding yuan for passage, the Gulf’s financial model is on fire. Until February 2026, an average of 129 merchant ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz each day, carrying about one-third of the crude oil traded by sea and one-fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas. No other maritime passage concentrates such a large share of the world’s energy wealth in such a confined space; As of mid-July 2026, the situation shows no signs of stabilizing.” – Lorenzo Maria Pacin

Forget left vs. center. Democratic voters are making clear they just want change – ” Democrats remain mixed over what ideological direction the party should take. But across a series of closely watched primaries, they are sending a clearer message about the party’s path forward: They want change” – Joey Cappelletti

Cuba Is Not Venezuela or Jamaica as It Refuses to Become a U.S. Neo-Colony – “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) recently issued a memo which states: Cuba is not Venezuela. What does that mean? “The same people who keep ’57 Chevrolets on the road with a coat hanger will wreak havoc against a foreign-imposed regime.” In 1975, Jamaica’s socialist Prime Minister Michael Manley expressed support for Cuba’s solidarity with the Angola liberation struggle. The days of Michael Manley’s support of Cuba are long gone, but recently, current Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness expressed concern for the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. As a result, soon thereafter, the U.S. directed Jamaica to end its five-decade program with Cuba to provide doctors and other health-care workers to Jamaica’s poor, and Jamaica complied. Sovereignty means the power of a country to control its own government. If Jamaica needed to comply, is it sovereign?” – Riva Enteen

Putin Threatens Seizures Of European Ships Over EU’s “Piracy & Banditry” – “Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday addressed the persisting issue of European governments and navies seizing what they deem Russian ‘shadow fleet’ vessels off Europe’s coast. The latest European Union sanctions package passed last month stipulates that EU members can sell the oil or any seized cargo obtained from these ‘shadow fleet’ vessels. Putin has reiterated Kremlin outrage at this scheme, condemning it as “piracy and banditry”. This after Sweden has lately declared its intent to hand seized Russian grain over to Ukraine.” – Tyler Durden

Ukraine Is The West’s Top Proxy For Fighting Russia In Africa – “They’re duking it out in Mali, Libya, and Sudan right now. Deputy Foreign Minister Georgy Borisenko drew renewed attention to last summer’s claims that Ukraine is responsible for terrorism all across Africa in his relevant remarks from late July. According to him, Ukrainian drone instructors train armed groups in Mali, Libya, and Sudan. The first is one of Russia’s top allies on the continent, the second’s de facto independent eastern half provides an air bridge to the latter via Niger, and the third still plans to host a long-delayed Russian naval base.” – Andrew Korybko

Three Things We can Do Now as the US Empire Ends – “As Kim Dotcom recently explained to Tucker Carlson, we have a government that spies, lies, propagandizes its population, constantly seeks to enrich itself, and is wasting its last breath fighting a losing battle to retain the label of global superpower while being crushed by $40 Trillion of unpayable debt. When that house of cards falls down, the whole world with be harmed, and what’s worse, the chance of the US using a nuclear weapon in lieu of paying back debt or preventing its collection is far higher than many people assume. How we might mitigate a sudden or violent collapse of the empire, preserve what we value, reshape a new government, and survive the state?

Money Metals CEO Stefan Gleason put it bluntly. “Sen. Paul has been rolled. All it took was giving him a fun chance to go into the mysterious facility.” “We are especially APPALLED that a giddy Sen. Rand Paul would implicitly make a mockery of proper auditing practices and whitewash decades of U.S. government mismanagement here, presumably as a ‘thanks’ to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who granted him this fun field trip today.

Hearsay – “It seems that nearly every bit of information we receive these days is hearsay, or more bluntly, a lie. I think most people do not believe that a lot of the things they hear, or read in the news, are out-and-out lies. In fact, a distinction needs to be made between conscious and intentional lies and things that are simply not true. Once we make that distinction, we find that most of what reaches us belongs to the latter category. That fact changes things only a little bit. False information is still false.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Four months, start to finish, less than half the timeline the consultants had quoted. I’m not guessing at this. Snowflake published it as a customer success story. October 16, 2025. On that date, Snowflake and Palantir announced a strategic partnership. Not a rumor. A joint press release, on the wire, with a photo. Palantir’s platform can reach into a Snowflake environment and work the data where it sits. Nothing gets copied. Nothing gets moved. No file crosses a border.

Orange Glow? – “Well, what’s next? Trump has lost his stupid, evil war against Iran – which he launched on behalf of the state of Israel, whose indicted war criminal leader egged him on to start it. Iran says it will not open the Strait until the U.S. “corrects” its behavior, by which is meant it reimburses Iran for the damage done, remove itself from the proxy states it has used to attack Iran and generally mind its own business. These are reasonable demands, especially given Iran is in a position to make them. So what’s next? The ground invasion thing is unlikely, if only because it would take months to assemble the necessary army in the vicinity. As unpopular as Trump is now, you can imagine how unpopular he’d be if tens of thousands of American troops were headed to the Middle East to fight for Israel. The bombing – with conventional bombs – hasn’t worked, so it’s not likely to work if he tries it again. That leaves the bomb. Would he use it? It’s a silly question. Of course he would.” – Eric Peters

Johnson, if not before then (think here of Woodrow Wilson’s false promises in 1916 to keep America out of the Great War, known now as World War I), always promise peace, especially while running for office. Trump is the most recent example here. Yet whether Democrat or Republican, as soon as they become president, it’s war and more war.

Today, we’re a global economy, for better or worse, and a lot of that is gone. Technology, however, seems to come from China. What happens when large corporations, particularly working on government projects, use Chinese components? In an ideal world, nothing. But we don’t live in an ideal world, and apparently, no one is wondering why they should be using things from an enemy nation on top-secret projects. Anything and everything from China that can be a security risk, is a security risk. We sold our own manufacturing capability down the river, handed it to a communist nation with designs on world domination, and now we’re finding out just how they’re using what we helped them establish.

They’re about understanding your property, your livestock, and your long-term goals so you can choose the right fence for the right job. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the framework I use to plan fencing that keeps animals secure, protects what matters most, and gives you the flexibility to grow your homestead over time.” – Josh Thomas

THE BIG PICTURE

God Is The Only Witness That Ever Matters – “The only question that ever matters is whether or not I have spoken the truth—and that is not a question that will ever be answered by any other than God. God alone judges what is true and what is false.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Free Speech on Life Support – “From Yelling Fire to Fighting Words. If there is any group in America 2.0 which still has free speech, it’s our second largest, but most noticeable minority group. I’m glad someone has free speech, but many Blacks use it primarily to bash all White people, and immerse themselves in historical victimization over slavery. They possess a 24/7 persecution complex, and they feel compelled to share it with everyone. The problem with their free speech, however, is that it often results in infringing on the free speech of others. Saying the World’s Most Dangerous Word can result in criminal prosecution now. Ask Shiloh Hendrix.” – Donald Jeffries

This is Why Policing is a Problem – “Very few people dislike firemen or EMS workers. This is probably a function of the fact that they only come when called – which is another way of saying when they’re needed. Police are not like that. They come when they’re not needed – much less wanted. They are always prowling around looking for reasons to police people. The word is italicized to emphasize an important point. Rather, to raise some important questions. Is “policing” a justifiable thing? What do we mean by “policing”? Well, in general, it means enforcing laws. These laws need not be good laws – in the moral sense. All that matters, as far as the police are concerned, is that the law is the law. This brings us to some policing that’s been going on in New Jersey, in a town called Dunellen. The local police dressed up in ghillie suits – these are suits that make a man look like a bush and are usually used by military snipers and hunters to avoid being seen by their targets, which is just exactly how they were used by the police in Dunellen, NJ. Their targets were drivers who transgressed the law that says Thou Shallt Not Use Your Phone While Driving.” – Eric Peters

The Rifle in the Photo Alleged to Be the Charlie Kirk Murder Weapon – “Identifying the weapon featured in the photograph of a rifle allegedly found in a wooded area near the crime scene. The rifle purportedly found in a wooded area near the campus and photographed is a “sporterized” military Mauser action hunting rifle. NOT possible to rapidly break down this kind of rifle. Breaking it down requires unscrewing two screws to remove barrel from stock. Disassembling the rifle results in multiple parts coming loose. Does NOT appear that the figure videotaped on the roof and dropping from the roof is carrying this kind of rifle.” – John Leake

‘GG’ didn’t want euthanasia, but her doctors killed her anyway – “A Canadian grandmother was euthanized, despite having reaffirmed her opposition to it two months prior. Now, her family is speaking out.” – Cassy Cooke

AI DESIGNED “VIRUSES” And The Push For ANOTHER GLOBAL SHUTDOWN!! – “For the first time, artificial intelligence has supposedly designed complete living, functional viralgenomes from scratch. Not tweaked an existing virus, not slightly modifying one, but designing brand new ones that never existed in nature before. And they claim that they work. Stanford and the Ark Institute just published it in the journal Science. ” – Dan Dicks of Press For Truth  -GOOD VIDEO. LINKED ABOUT THIS ON FRIDAY AS WELL!!!

The Fed Is Failing Its Mandate, But It Could Change Soon – “The Federal Reserve’s legal mandate is clear. It must focus on stable prices and maximum employment. In the past five years, the Fed has failed on both. Inflation remains materially above the 2 percent target, reaching a decade-high 25% cumulative inflation in the 2021-2025 period, while restrictive monetary conditions have been limited to rate hikes, which weigh most heavily on the small and medium-sized firms that generate most of net employment growth. This failure was not merely a matter of missing a forecast but a policy framework that became narrative-driven rather than data-dependent.” – Daniel Lacalle

The Bretton Woods system was abolished by Nixon in 1971 as it was tagged to the value of gold reserves. Problem: America’s Gold reserve vaults are likely completely, or near – EMPTY. Like our Strategic Reserves.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

For thirty years they sang the
song of promised victory
But who they’ve fought and who has won
Didn’t matter much to me
I see them driving down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
Crowds of people to their feet
Their faces full of scars

No pleasantries, no luxuries
No little children’s milk
While minister’s wives spent
all their lives
In China’s finest silk
My back’s been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on
The day it comes my way on
freedom’s ship
I will be gone

[Chorus]
From hell to paradise
I’ll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I’ll always pay the price

This ninety mile trip
has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep
forever what was never theirs to take
I cursed and scratched the devil’s hand
As he stood in front of me
One last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free

Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare
Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare

[Translation:]
With tender eyes someday I’ll look at you
With open arms someday I’ll embrace you
My old Havana someday I will return

( From Hell To Paradise by Raul Malo )

 

THE BIG PICTURE

Scott Bessent: Stop Complaining About the Billionaire Economy – “Bessent, Trump, millionaires, and billionaires are beneficiaries of a financialized economy. Scott Bessent is sick and tired of hearing about your financial hardship. Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has argued the US economy is experiencing record prosperity. “When I see polls on the economy, I should have 150% approval, not 100%. This is the golden age of America. “The economy is the greatest economy we’ve ever had by far. The polls are fake,” he added.” -Kut Nimmo  – YEP, EVERYTHING IS FAKE IF IT DISPUTES HIS LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Else Are They Hiding? – “There is really no way to sum up our current moment. In 2019, the economy was doing well and Trump was popular. There were the usual political divisions but no real emergency on the horizon. All at once in the first months of 2020, everything fell apart and a foreign regime was visited upon us, complete with new protocols that required staying home and standing apart from people and covering our faces. We could not go to church, visit the sick, or travel to other countries. A year later came the promised relief that turned out not to hold up but instead caused more suffering. All the while, trust in the system we had never really questioned began to collapse. ” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

When Will The Climate Liars Stop Lying? – “For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn’t exist.

How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda?” – I & I Editorial Board

The Private Sector Gains 30,000 jobs, but Local Governments Shed 57,000 Jobs. Supply of Labor Continues to Shrink – Wolf Richter

2026-08-07 09:23 by Karl Denninger in Employment , 40 references The Fantastic Disappearing Yobs…. – “Yes, disappearing, yet the market liked it. Both nonfarm payroll employment (-23,000) and the unemployment rate (4.1 percent) changed little in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment declined in local government education and retail trade. Employment continued to trend up in health care. How does employment go down yet the unemployment rate also drop (in this case by one tick)? People stopped giving a crap; the “not in labor force” number increased by 80,000.” – Karl Denninger

Shouldn’t house prices be declining in response to rising inventory? Isn’t that how supply and demand are supposed to work?” – MN Gordon
