Trump CDC Director Nominee Touts ‘Safe and Effective’ mRNA Tech, Vows to ‘Never Betray the Science’ – “Last week’s CDC Director confirmation hearing was an unmitigated dumpster fire from start to finish. Firstly, as these spectacles always go — despite 75% of Americans suffering from a chronic health condition, per CDC’s own data, almost none of which have anything to do with infectious disease — at least 90% of the questions from the Congress members pertained to vaccines.” – Ben Bartee

4 Ways to Tell if You Are “All In” for Christ – “You are either all in or all out.” – Kate Dreston

Is Our Healthcare System Built for Prevention or Lifetime Treatment? – “America does not have a shortage of medical spending. We have a shortage of health. In 2024, the United States spent approximately $5.3 trillion on healthcare, about $15,474 for every person in the country. Yet chronic illness continues to rise, millions of Americans struggle to access consistent primary care, and families are increasingly questioning whether our healthcare system is truly designed to keep people healthy.” – Tracy Slepcevic

Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged ‘suicide note’ unsealed (PHOTO) Read more Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged ‘suicide note’ unsealed (PHOTO) Jean-Luc Brunel, the founder of a modeling agency established with financial backing from Epstein, was arrested in 2020 on allegations including rape and child sex trafficking. He died in prison in 2022 while awaiting trial. French authorities ruled his death a suicide.” – RT  – JUST A COINCIDENCE, DON’T YOU KNOW!!!!

Creating the Imperative Narrative: The Newspaper Archive Search [History Heist PART 2] – “In the last part of this series, I shared with you the story of how history was literally stolen so that it could be altered or destroyed. That research inspired me to perform a newspaper archive search to see if there were any publications regarding lost, stolen, or destroyed historical records, and I couldn’t believe what I found…” – Agent131711  – AGENT131711 CONTINUES HIS DIVE!!!!

The Woman Who Came Back: What One Dose of Psilocybin Revealed About the Self We Thought Alzheimer’s Had Erased – “After ten years of Alzheimer’s and five years of near-silence, an 80-year-old woman took a single high dose of psilocybin mushrooms—and, roughly nineteen hours later, began to speak about her life for hours. She was not cured. But she was, unmistakably, still there. The question that leaves us with may be the most important one in all of neuroscience.” – Sater Ji

Iran Has President Trump on a Hopeless Walk through the Quagmire of Unending War – “Crude prices are set to rise a lot more—Goldman Sachs says $120/bbl—and Trump has no clear path out of the problems he’s walked into.” – David Haggith

Trump Is NOT A Reluctant War President – “One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were chasing him around going “Would you like to bomb Iran?” like the guy from Green Eggs and Ham while he yelled “Not in a…” – Caitlin Johnstone

Trump Says Salafi Head Choppers in Syria will Disarm Hezbollah – “Ahmed al-Sharaa’s jihadi terrorists no match for Hezbollah.” – Kurt Nimmo

Reflections From the Heart of the Empire: Dances with Absurdity – “The Iranians once again said they were ready to welcome an American ground invasion. Sorry, Iran, but where would we invade you from? The sea’s out, since we can’t even keep the Strait of Hormuz open if y’all want it closed—that’s been amply demonstrated. In spades. What’s that leave? Iraq, Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. There’s this assumption by so many that the US is even capable of starting a ground invasion of Iran. ” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBAIAN’S WEEKLY REFLECTION. GOOD READ ONCE AGAIN!!

Reviving the Old Cold War Racket Against Cuba – “The State Department just issued a report that is straight out of the old Cold War playbook. It states that Cuba’s communist regime is behind the democratic socialist movements and radical leftist groups here in America. In other words, the Reds are coming to get us … again! Everyone needs to start looking under his bed for a Red … again! And Cuba, which is located only 90 miles away from American shores, is clearly the spearhead of the international communist conspiracy that is determined to take over America … again!  The Cold War racket was the best thing that ever happened to the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA, the three principal components of the U.S. national-security state. By striking deep fear of the Reds within the American people after World War II,” – Jacob G. Hornberger

U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal risks Middle East arms race – “President Donald Trump has approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability without the safeguards necessary to stop materials being used in nuclear weapons programs. The 123 Agreement as it is known includes non-proliferation requirements in line with the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, but excludes the “Gold Standard”, which blocks uranium enrichment” – Phil Bainbridge – ONLY THE COUNTRIES WE WANT CAN HAVE THE BOMB OR CAPABILITIES, BUT WE WILL GO TO WAR AGAINST ANYONE ELSE. MAKES SENSE, RIGHT!!!!!!

Trump’s Saudi Deal Is a Terrible Idea – “Trump’s agreement undermines our government’s commitment to nonproliferation, and it rewards one of the worst governments in the world with advanced nuclear technology.” – Daniel Larison

Chilling New Clues Challenge Suicide Claim In Los Alamos Lab Worker’s Death – “Fresh evidence recovered from the remote New Mexico forest where Los Alamos National Laboratory administrative assistant Melissa Casias was found has blown major holes in the suicide narrative.” – Steve Watson

The Money Printers Fueling Socialism’s Rise – “Here’s a graph the Keynesians, statists, and Wall Street gamblers—yes, we repeat ourselves—would prefer not to explain. At the same time, it also explains why socialism at this late date in history—and after all its abysmal failures the world over—is having some kind of dubious second coming in America. During the last three decades the national savings rate (red line) has essentially collapsed, having fallen from 6.3% of GDP in 1997 to 0.5% of GDP in 2025. Between the same two dates, however, the net worth of US households (blue line) has soared from 4.6X personal income to 6.5X personal income. In economist jargon, the question would recur as follows: How in the world over a three-decade period did the stock of wealth soar when the flows of savings virtually evaporated?” – David Stockman

Why is anyone taking these people seriously? – “Socialism in the United States is nothing new. For as long as it’s existed, there have been people in this country who wanted it. Like I said, nothing new. But throughout most of my lifetime, socialists got shunted to the side in serious politics because their ideas were absolutely retarded. It was, to put it as generously as I can, communism lite. All of the same economics, but with slightly better packaging. Democratic socialism, as personified by people like Bernie Sanders, takes the packaging of a turd and adds sprinkles to it.” – Tom Knighton

Socialist Mamdani Concedes NYC Can’t Arrest Netanyahu, Breaking Another Campaign Promise – “Mamdani said his administration reviewed every available legal option but maintained that Netanyahu is “not welcome” in NYC. President Trump said Monday that Netanyahu would not be arrested anywhere in the U.S., while Israel’s U.N. ambassador accused the socialist, pro-Islamist Mamdani of promoting Hamas propaganda. During last year’s campaign, Mamdani promised fellow socialists and Islamists that he would order city police to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant. That pledge now adds to a growing list of unfulfilled promises, including lower rents, free buses, and other proposed handouts.” – Tyler Durden

Democrats Brace for the Return of Kamala Harris – “Maybe the third time’s the charm?” – Tim Donner

Inflation Fell – Here’s Why Your Bills Didn’t – “Most families do not need a government report to tell them the cost of living remains too high. They see it at the grocery store.

The Fatwood Myth: Why Most “Fire Starter” Trees People Identify Aren’t Actually Rich in Resin – “Anyone who has spent time around campfires or bushcraft forums has heard the promise: find a pine stump, shave off a few slivers, and you have an instant fire starter that lights even in the rain. That promise sits at the heart of what I call the fatwood myth, the widespread belief that almost any old pine stump, dead branch, or weathered knot is packed with the same resin saturated wood that made longleaf pine famous across the American South.” – Bob Rodgers

Its food storage and mindset guidance still holds up well, but coverage of technology, energy, and pandemic planning reflects a pre-2020 world.” – Lisa Bedford

The Global Water Conference 2026 is being assembled to tackle what the UN is calling “water bankruptcy”, and pursue Sustainable Development Goal 6 in pursuit of Agenda 2030. The narrative being sold is that the world wide water supply is under threat in some new and critical way, and drastic – potentially global – action is required. Another ‘crisis’ in other words. Another Hegelian Dialectic. And we know what those mean.” – Kit Knightly – PART 1 WAS LINKED ON 07/05/26

Palantir’s Dark Intelligence-Industrial Complex Origins – “It is no wonder then that Peter Thiel named his data analytics spy company Palantir Technologies after the Palantíri, but just like the actual founders of fellow spy corporations Facebook, Google, Amazon, Tesla, et al., these are merely corporate fronts for the Intelligence-Industrial Complex. What began as a DARPA program, designed to erode the very safeguards of our Constitution, didn’t disappear when it left government oversight. Instead, it was quietly spun out, rebranded as a private firm, and continued pursuing the same agenda under corporate cover.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Where’s Israel? – “It is interesting that the country that goaded the United States – well, goaded Trump – into starting the war is no longer an active participant in the war. Let’s you and him fight, as the saying goes. While Israel watches. Quietly. One hears almost nothing about Israel all of a sudden. “Bibi” isn’t to be seen. Previously, it was hard not to see him. It’s almost as if this war doesn’t involve Israel when, of course, it is all about Israel. There would be no war were it not for Israel. The premise seems to be that had the United States not attacked Iran – had only Israel attacked Iran – somehow that would have resulted in harm to America. Well, that’s exactly what happened. Americans have been killed and something on the order of $100 billion has been lost – so far. Now America has assumed total responsibility for this stupid, evil war that was started by and for Israel. More finely, Americans have been saddled with total responsibility for this stupid, evil war that was started by and for Israel.” – Eric Peters  – WELL SAID BY ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U.S. war with Iran just climbed another rung up the escalation ladder – “This was the worst possible news for those trying to scratch out a living in our teetering economy, but it’s great for the oil companies and war profiteers.. According to multiple media outlets, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis declared today, July 20, an immediate naval blockade on Saudi Arabia. This brings the U.S./Israel-Iran war officially to the southern entrance of the Red Sea, shutting down an export route through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait used by the Saudis to bypass disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil that was being rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz into the Red Sea and up through the Suez Canal in Egypt will now be cut off if Yemen is able to make good on its stated mission. This will wreck the Egyptian economy, possibly drawing that country into the war against Iran.” – Leo Hohmann

Mamdani Claims He Will Arrest Netanyahu – “New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided to enter the realm of international diplomacy by threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he attend the United Nations General Assembly this September. Speaking to the New York Times, Mamdani called Netanyahu “a war criminal” and declared, “Netanyahu belongs in The Hague.” ” – Martin Armstrong

Islam and America Are Incompatible – “Here is a declaration of Islamic supremacy Americans can no longer ignore.” – J.B. Shurk

They Are Coming to Take Us Away – “The White House discovers more “commies” and terrorists. In Donald Trump’s America it is always possible to wake up in the morning and peruse online the overnight headlines to discover something new and exciting. Over the past week it has been a medley of going to war (again) with Iran coupled with a complicated performance on other issues as President Trump apparently takes aim at his enemies in the US and elsewhere. America’s Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is fully on board with a surge in worldwide mayhem. He is looking forward to an increase in US initiated violence, ordering that male soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines be tested for their testosterone levels. ” – Philip Giraldi

Invasion of the Cuban Commies – “Marco says radical Democrats are out to destroy Western Civilization. – Kurt Nimmo

After “Political Terrorism” Summit, U.S. Names 43 Americans + Groups – “Rubio report on Cuban subversion names Zohran Mamdani, Amy Goodman, Hasan Piker + orgs like DSA and Amazon Labor Union . But what exactly are they guilty of? What the report shows isn’t that any of these people are knowingly taking directions from a foreign power — only that they disagree with the U.S. government on Cuba policy (or at most, agree with Cuba). Their views can be wrong — aggressively, offensively wrong even — but it’s their goddamn right as Americans to hold them.” – Ken Klippenstein

Burkina Faso and Israel: The Sahel and the realignment of regional balances in West Africa – “Ibrahim Traoré’s Burkina Faso, navigating pragmatically between Tehran and Tel Aviv, between Moscow and Beijing, and now attempting to open a channel with Israel just as it severs ties with Paris, is not making an ideological choice, but rather executing a balancing maneuver typical of a state that, having broken with its historical ally, must necessarily expand its network of partners to avoid finding itself in a state of strategic isolation. ” – Lorenzo Maria Pacini  – TRAORE’ APPEARS TO BE NO DUMMY!!!

Trump Reaches For A 1930 Tariff Law To Hit Canada With 50% Duties – But Not On These Items – “This is not a blanket levy on everything crossing the northern border, and what got left out is as revealing as what got hit. Oil – of which Canada is the largest foreign supplier to American refineries – is exempt. So is potash, the fertilizer input U.S. farmers depend on and cannot readily source elsewhere. What remains is still enormous. The covered list runs from milk and cream to alcohol, hockey equipment, food products, construction materials, clothing, furniture, technology, and car parts,” – Tyler Durden

Follow The Freight: What Shipping Delays And Rail Problems Mean For Your Pantry – “Most people notice shortages when the shelf is already empty. A prepper should notice them earlier. Food does not appear at the grocery store by magic. It moves through a long chain of ports, rail yards, truck routes, warehouses, fuel stops, distribution centers, and store back rooms. When that chain runs well, nobody thinks about it. When it starts to fail, the first signs often show up far from the grocery aisle. A port backs up. A rail line slows down. Diesel prices jump. At first, these things sound like business news. A few weeks later, they can become higher prices, delayed deliveries, missing brands, and thin shelves. That is why preppers should learn to follow the freight.” – Alec Deacon

Even after more than two decades of canning and preserving thousands of jars of food for my family, I still experience an occasional seal failure.

Imagine the horror of facing an eternity of militant plant-based diet, starvation and chemical assault!

“Executive Order:” The Word Everyone Uses and Nobody Explains – “Every few weeks, cable news lights up with the same scene: a president sits at a desk, signs a piece of paper, holds it up for the cameras, and suddenly the banner reads “PRESIDENT ORDERS…” as if a king has just spoken. People watch that and usually think one of two things: either, “He can just do that?” or, “That’s not how laws work. This is a dictatorship.” Nobody explains what an executive order actually is. So let’s fix that. No spin. No side-picking. Just the mechanics. It’s Not a Law. It’s a Memo to the Staff. An executive order cannot create a crime, repeal a statute, raise taxes, or rewrite the Constitution. What it can do is tell the millions of people who work inside the executive branch — agencies, regulators, the military, federal contractors, and federal employees — how to do their jobs.” – Kerry Lutz

The farmer drilled his corn in the midst of drought at a density that would have caused a 1990s farmer to shake his head.

What’s more, the amount that the federal government has recouped makes up a scant 0.47% of the government’s fraud guestimate.” – OpenTheBooks

Does Trump’s Lack of Credibility Impact the Deep State? – “Trump seems to think his personal credibility shares the qualities he assumes of his Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, Tomahawks, US manufactured drones, and US soldiers and Marines: unlimited and invincible. He seems to be wasting all of these assets in a way that makes a citizen wonder what Trump’s clown-like role really is, vis a vis the deep state. Whether his problem is a lack of information, his inability to logically process the information he is exposed to, or a personality or age-related defect related to his narcissism may be debated. Most people recognize that US presidents selected or elected since 1963 are truly captured elements of the deep state, a neocolonial entity that requires war and resource confiscation abroad – and at home – to sustain itself.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The Fed Has Quietly Given Up on 2% – “The Fed is going to raise its inflation target. It might be difficult to believe, but for most of its history, the Fed didn’t have a formal inflation target. The target rate of 2% that everyone quotes was first suggested by Janet Yellen behind closed doors when Alan Greenspan was Fed Chair in 1996. The Fed appears to have adopted that target at the time but didn’t publicly state it until 2012. I bring all of this up because throughout the inflationary storm of 2021-2023, the Fed proclaimed that its policies would bring inflation back to this target of 2%.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Oh My Fucking God, They’re Doing It Again – “Wall Street is again using insurance guarantees to turn difficult-to-rate credit exposure into highly rated securities.

We Are Called To Forgiveness – “One teaching of Jesus which is reiterated throughout the Gospel accounts of His ministry here on Earth is that we are to forgive one another for our many mistakes. We are going to screw up. We are going to hurt people. We are going to sin. If you are living anywhere other than a deserted island, your own life experience is frank testimony to this.

Immunity Without Limits – ” Donald Trump’s mind is a bad dream, yet some continue to support him, making excuses for his restarting the war with Iran, when he had no intention to keep to the MoU that he signed onto. When asked, how, after months of a war that failed, he now expects the same tactics to bring victory, he puts out that 47 days of war is preferable to a terrorist nation with nukes. That’s the case, but Israel is the terrorist nation with nuclear weapons and, were Trump obliged to answer questions honestly, in an open forum, he could be easily exposed by 7th grade debaters. Trump is totally ignorant concerning Iran. Although he’s likely been informed that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon, he could care less. What Trump requires is control of the oil—and the Straight of Hormuz.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

War Is Too Easy – “‘We’ll End the War by Escalating It?” – Bill Astore

How the Strait of Hormuz is testing the Iran–Oman alliance – “Iran and Oman have been allies for decades, with ties predating the Islamic Republic. That continuity is now under strain, as the US-Israeli war on Iran and Washington’s pressure on Muscat begin to test the terms of the relationship in the narrow waters of the Strait of Hormuz.” – Fereshteh Sadeghi

MAGA Hypocrite Claims China is Providing Targeting Data to Iran – “The United States has provided targeting data to Israel, Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia” – Kurt Nimmo.

Half a Nation of Traitors – “Democrats hate this country. They hate you if you don’t also hate this country. And they will do anything to avoid you continuing to live free in this country, up to and including murdering you, because that’s who they are. If Russia or China offered to help them seize power, they’d take the deal no matter what they asked for in return. After 250 years, one of our political parties has become infested with traitors the way an old dead tree becomes infested with termites.” – Derek Hunter

News Media Have a Little Fun Mocking More of AOC’s Strangely Changing Accent – “Ocasio-Cortez also went to Tennessee to support the far-left state representative Justin Pearson in his run for the House for the 9th district seat. While she was there, she put on an embarrassing accent. As I noted, she’s from the suburbs of New York City; she’s not from the South or whatever the heck this accent is. She’s pulling a “Kamala Harris/Hillary Clinton move,” with an accent that seems to change depending on whom she’s talking. It didn’t go over well for them, and I don’t think that it’s going to go over well for her. Whether people agree with whatever she might say from a policy perspective, what people never really like is politicians being fake or inauthentic. ” – Nick Arama

Canadian officials reported 859 active wildfires, with 113 considered out of control and more than 2.38 million hectares burned so far this season. Poor air quality prompted health warnings and disrupted daily life across several U.S. states.” – Global News

Mission Creep: Lake Chad Basin As America’s Next Forever War? – ” As Washington celebrates tactical wins against Islamic State affiliates in Nigeria, Americans should demand policymakers pause. What began as advisory support, intelligence sharing, and targeted strikes now risks expanding across the Lake Chad Basin. American involvement in the region dates back years through training programs, intelligence sharing, and logistical support for the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF). But American involvement has gradually expanded.” – Joseph Solis-Mullen

Russia Pounds Kiev With the Largest Missile Attack of the War (VIDEOS) – “While the Ukraine war is the bloodiest war fought in Europe since WW2, the capital Kiev has still lived a comparatively normal life. The calls from the most extreme Russian segments to ‘turn Kiev into a parking lot’, ‘raze it to the ground’ etc. have been solemnly ignored by Vladimir Putin and his military commanders. With last night’s massive Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital, the ‘quality of life’ there may have started to take a change for the worse – but there’s a catch.” – Paul Serran

Another Fed Rate Hike Would Be a Serious Mistake – “Hiking rates while maintaining elevated liquidity harms families and small businesses and perpetuates the very factors that drive inflation, including rising money supply and government spending.

Why Central Banks Love a Gold Sell-Off – “On July 7, Bloomberg published an article with the headline: “Gold’s Bull Market Has Ended and Now All Eyes Are on Bears,” explaining how many retail investors have headed for the exits. That same day, the People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank, reported its largest monthly gold purchase since 2023. Central banks are relatively price insensitive. They buy gold as a long term hedge to preserve value, not to trade back for more paper. But they aren’t stupid either, and this shows they are buying the dip. The reason is simple: nothing has changed about why they buy.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

Maybe Central Banks Are Gold-Price Sensitive After All – “Which is a very good thing. For a while now, analysts (including this one) have been predicting that central banks will keep buying gold regardless of its price, thereby smoothing out the normal ups and downs in that market. But recent action implies that central banks do care about what they’re paying for gold — which, at this point in the cycle, is a good thing.” – John Rubino

It’s not that massive, nation-level catastrophes never happen. They do. But the big events rarely arrive with a special news bulletin the way disaster movies like to pretend. Just look at Hurricane Katrina. Just look at Venezuela’s economic collapse. Neither one showed up overnight. Both unfolded over weeks, months, even years — gradual at first, then all at once. The people who got wrecked were the ones who were waiting for a dramatic announcement before they started taking things seriously.” – Off The Grid

THE BIG PICTURE

The Eclipse of the Soul – “Humanity is unravelling. In the span of just a few generations—scarcely a century—we have witnessed a precipitous decline in the quality of our shared life. The symptoms are everywhere: drugs flooding communities, garbage choking landscapes, ethics treated as quaint relics, families dissolving, and relationships reduced to transactions. Many sense the rot but struggle to name its root. The cause, at bottom, is simple yet profound: we have ceased to value what is real.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Jesus & the Mysteries of Light Exploring the Teachings From the Son of God. We speak of it as though it has always been exactly as we hold it today, whole, unchanging, and complete, yet the evidence tells a very different story. Generation after generation has reached in, removed what did not suit them, smoothed what troubled them, and shaped the words until they fitted the beliefs of those in power. As though the truth itself could be made to fit inside a box of another’s making. Gospels are gone entirely. Epistles have been cast aside. Visions and revelations, once cherished and read aloud by whole communities, were condemned and forgotten And so I wonder, with a quiet and earnest heart; who, exactly, took it upon themselves to decide that the greater majority of souls should receive only a curated portion, rather than the whole?” – Jordan Nuttall

Rigor Tortoise? – “They tell us the Dirty Old Turtle – Senator Mitch McConnell – is not only alive but in good enough condition to pose for a picture with his wife. He looks alert enough and well enough in the picture, so how come we haven’t seen or even heard any more of him? Why does he not speak? Why are there no videos of him up and about? How come he’s not back at work? Isn’t that what he’s being paid (by taxpayers) to do? How many of us could disappear for a month and still be getting paid by our employers? Oh, yes. Of course. Our employers have the power to fire us because we work for them and if we do not work, then off we go. Common sense suggests McConnell is at the very least incapacitated, if not actually plastron up. If you’re old enough to remember the old Soviet Union, you probably remember when the various doddering old men who led it would just disappear and we’d be told they just had a cold and were just fine, really. After awhile, when the official lies could no longer be maintained, it was admitted that Comrade Brezhnev or Comrade Andropov or Comrade Chernenko had died.

Election Integrity: Is Representative Democracy A Foolish Fantasy? – “The US Constitution is perhaps the most significant historical and governmental document in a millennia. It’s a document and an ideal that gave birth to an epoch. However, our constitutional republic was created based on conditions that, frankly, no longer exist. The American population was 95% Christian. The implementation of “patriarchy” was widespread and embraced as the most solid foundation for society. Meritocracy was absolute. Cultural identity was rooted in western civilization without any deviation or distraction. Marxism did not exist. Atheism was rare. Degeneracy was shunned or punished. Shame was an effective social tool. Psychopathy was easy to identify and remove from within the smaller population…. In 2026, many Americans still treat the notion of representative democracy as sacrosanct and untouchable, even though they don’t really know why. They just think it’s about freedom, but, they are basing their devout reverence on a system that used to work because it heavily restricted who was allowed to participate.” – Brandon Smith

Taylor Farms, founded and headquartered in Salinas, California, describes itself as the “leading global producer of salads and healthy fresh foods.” In addition to the Golden State, the company has production facilities across the U.S., along with Mexico, Canada and Europe.” – Brett Stover, Jeremy Tanner

10 Proven Brands That Get Their Lettuce From Taylor Farms – “Taylor Farms supplies shredded iceberg lettuce to Taco Bell restaurants, which is part of Yum! Brands. This lettuce was linked to a recent cyclosporiasis outbreak in the US, causing thousands of confirmed cases and hospitalizations. Taylor Farms distributes its produce through third parties to chain restaurants including McDonald’s and Chipotle Mexican Grill. The company is a major supplier to many large foodservice restaurants in the United States. Nearly every major supermarket chain in the United States stocks Taylor Farms products. Walk into a Whole Foods, Kroger, Walmart, Safeway, or regional chain, and the salad kits, pre-cut vegetables, and fresh greens in the produce section often originate from Taylor Farms facilities. ” – Sarah Anderson

Congress Moves Toward Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent – “This die-hard morning girl (and history) have concerns.” – Jenna McCarthy

Congress Just Moved to Take the Epstein Files Away From the Justice Department – “On the morning of July 15, Todd Blanche — the Acting Attorney General of the United States, serving since President Trump’s ouster of Pam Bondi in April and formally nominated in June — sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing. He told the committee that “mistakes were made” in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, but that the disclosure was an exercise in unprecedented transparency. The same day, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II — H.R. 9694, per the sponsors’ announcement. The timing is not a coincidence. It is a message: the man testifying for the permanent job is the named defendant-in-waiting of the bill introduced that morning. The coverage will tell you, accurately, that the bill lets state attorneys general and Epstein’s victims sue the Attorney General for withholding files. Massie states the Department “continues to unlawfully withhold over 3 million Epstein files”; ” – Sayer Ji

House Votes to Block Financial Institutions Using Credit Cards to Track Gun Sales – “As it stands, there are already too many ways to figure out who has guns and who doesn’t. For all the guys worried about posting pictures of their guns online for fear the ATF will know who has what, I hate to break it to ya, they probably already have a way of knowing.” – Tom Knighton

When Israeli Handlers Put In The order for Assassination… – “October 2026 Brazil will be holding their Presidential election. The two candidates are Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of Jair. To punish Brazilians, Trump has levied a 25% Tariff effective the 23rd. In Trump’s view, the people of Brazil will vote for Bolsonaro because of the tariffs he is imposing linking them to Lula. It is called ‘Election Interference By a Foreign Government’ and it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. But then the entire Trump apparatus violates international law and American Law, with pride. Bessent literally gushes as he quips about ‘stealing Venezuela’s gold.” – Helena Glass

Cushing Crude Inventories Near ‘Tank Bottom’ Operating Levels, EIA Says – “Crude oil inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub have fallen below 20 million barrels in recent weeks, prompting the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to explain how “tank bottoms” can affect storage operations and market pricing. According to EIA, storage tanks require a minimum volume of crude oil to remain operational. Known as tank bottoms, this inventory allows pumps and related infrastructure to function properly. Once inventories approach these minimum operating levels, not all stored crude is readily accessible, even though tanks are not technically empty.” – Pipeline & Gas Journal  – LOOKS LIKE THE  💩 IS HITTING THE FAN!!!!!!

Gulf war and gold – “In the fog of war, truth is the casualty. Gold and silver prices will reflect uncertainty over outcomes. All that traders know for now is that bond yields might rise further. Well-informed analysts who follow geopolitical developments have concluded that America and Israel have lost the war against Iran, and Hormuz will remain closed. But investors are driven by sentiment, which is basically their reading of past market trends relative to current prices. Never has the gulf between the two assessments been greater. We discuss this divergence, the reasons behind it, and the probable outcome for markets, and in particular for gold and silver.” – Alasdair Macleod

The difference could mean $60 trillion dollars for the American people — more than the national debt.

Not every blade lets you do that. The geometry of the grind is what makes the difference. The knife that stays sharp in the field is not always the one with the best steel or the most expensive finish.

THE BIG PICTURE

Exploring the Hidden Gospel – “The Secret Sayings of Jesus. Of all the wisdom kept from our sight, of all the truths never taught to us, what follows stands among the greatest. It is not locked away in some vault, you may find it with but a few keystrokes. Yet it remains almost entirely unknown, seen only in quiet circles and among those who seek the old books. The Gospel of Thomas This is not a text that was passed down openly through the ages, nor one you will find resting between the gospels upon the shelf. For centuries it was known only through faint whispers and scattered references, its very existence debated, doubted, and ultimately set aside, as though those in authority had decided it was not meant to be read. Then in the year 1945, within the dry and quiet earth of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, a great treasure was unearthed, curious mind. An ancient library sealed within clay jars, hidden away perhaps by those who feared what it contained, and there preserved across seventeen hundred years lay this Gospel written in the ancient Coptic tongue, waiting patiently through all those centuries for the moment when the world might once again be ready to hear it.” – Jordan Nuttall

The Killing Machines – “Governments and Technology Obsessing Over Efficient Death. Personally, I don’t think there is a better definition of insanity than the way humans delight in war and death. Yes, there was a time when killing your neighbour because they wouldn’t let you eat an apple growing on their side of the tribal fence made a tiny bit of sense. But what it has evolved into today is pure insanity. Humans are supposed to be capable of compassion. We are supposed to be able to sort out our differences with other tribes. We are supposed to care more about human life than we did in the cave days, when it was all about survival and who would or would not get the apple.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Problem Isn’t Flock or Ring – “These Flock (and Ring) cameras that are popping up everywhere are worrying but not for the right reason. Would you worry about a Flock or Ring camera if neither the government nor corporations (in “partnership” with the government) had any power to use the data collected against you? That’s the substantive objection. People have had cameras for longer than anyone currently living has been alive. It was and still is common for ordinary people to take pictures and videos in public. Few of us cared that we maybe got included in a picture or video taken by someone else taking pictures or videos – because why would we?” – Eric Peters

The True Cost of Trump Accounts (VIDEO) – “This is part of my ongoing investigation into the National Design Studio. Please see parts one and two. Imagine you have just given birth, and no one can tell you why the baby will not stop crying. You are sweating, your hands are shaking, and you are holding against your chest a person you met a few minutes ago and already love with a force that frightens you. You do not know if you are doing any of it right, and you are too tired to ask. In the middle of this a pleasant person comes in with a clipboard. Just a signature, they tell you, and a box to check if you want your baby to have a Social Security number. Of course you do. You check it and sign your name, and you do not read a word of the form, because you are holding your whole life in one arm and a pen in the other. What no one in that room tells you is that the box you just checked starts a second clock. That Social Security number is now keyed to a brokerage account run by a stock-trading app called Robinhood. It comes with a thousand dollars of federal money inside (if you are reading this before 2028) and the government plans to open one automatically for every newborn in the country.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Humpety-Trumpety’s Great Big Fall – “There has never been a more foolish Oval Office decision than the Donald’s order to the US armed forces to join Israel’s blatant aggression against Iran on February 28th. And to do so without even the pretense of consulting with a single leader of Congress—the very body delegated by the Constitution with the power to make war. The fact is, on February 27th, there was no attack on Guam, Puerto Rico or even any of the numerous US “armed forces” bases in the Persian Gulf. And as for an attack on the homeland territory of the United States itself—there wasn’t even a snowball’s chance in the hot place of that. Iran had no blue water Navy— and long before Trump sunk a few coastal vessels.” – David Stockman

Apparently in the United States of Israel you put your senate seat in your will. Lindsey Grahams sister just inherited the US political system and swallowed it whole. – “Who thinks this is bat shit crazy??? And not remotely the political system. All sitting politicians should show us their will. Oh you’re a mayor and die? Whose the new aipac mayor, trustee, judge, AG? Blah blah blah. Noahide decapitator. Oh it’s satan running the show? Why has Lindsey Graham’s sister inherited his Senate seat after his death? The late senator’s sister, the politically inexperienced Darline Graham Nordone, has inherited his office and powers. Because she was there for his speeches. So were these people. Attend a speech in the last decade? You could inherit an AIPAC POSITION IN ANY GOVERNMENT on the planet. It’s ok.

Senate Vote Stuns Netanyahu, Shows Support For Israel Slipping – “This past weekend, Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu was brimming with confidence that the U.S. and Israeli militaries would be merged into a unified partnership by the U.S. Congress due to the presence of Section 224 in the NDAA. But on Tuesday, Netanyahu was shocked and crestfallen by what happened in the U.S. Senate. As stated, the reason for voting against the bill was opposition to Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran (which is being fought exclusively for Israel), and no one was unaware of the significance of Section 224 being inserted into the bill. This is an incredible and almost miraculous setback for Israel. Senate Republicans voted unanimously (with the lone exception of Senator John Thune who voted “Nay” for procedural reasons, so he could later make a motion to reconsider the bill) in favor of the bill. Yes, that means Senator Rand Paul voted FOR the bill. A supreme disappointment!” – Chuck Baldwin

Nobody Knows the Real Inflation Number – “Depending on which official measure you select, inflation in May was approximately 3%, 4% or 7%. The official Consumer Price Index rose 4.2% over the previous 12 months. So-called “core CPI,” which leaves out food and energy prices, rose 2.9%. The Federal Reserve’s preferred Personal Consumption Expenditures index rose 4.1%, while core PCE (which also excludes food and energy prices) rose 3.4%. Then there are the Atlanta Fed’s sticky- and flexible-price indexes. Sticky-price inflation rose 3.1% Flexible-price inflation rose 7% That is an awfully wide range… But it does not necessarily mean anyone is lying. Each index measures something different. That’s why the numbers disagree.” – Peter Reagan

Is Your Faith Failing Because You’re Struggling? – “Being Human = Struggling Sometimes” – Kate Dreston

Flock You – “Let’s begin with the word itself. Because it conveys what they see us as. A flock – as of sheep or other animals to be herded. It is said of psychopaths that they have a need to tell us what they really think (and intend) so that when they do it, they can say they told us so – and we were too dumb to listen to them. Thus, we deserved what we got. Garret Langley, the CEO of Flock Safety – the private company that is erecting cameras in public spaces  and “sharing” the “data” with the government – has called people who oppose being treated like herd animals “terrorists” for publishing the location of these cameras, so that people are aware they’re being watched. Some people are taking defensive action against these cameras. ” – Eric Peters

Flock, Axon, Israel, and American Freedom (VIDEO) – “Flock cameras capture a complete vehicle fingerprint and use neural networks to identify and track people. Flock’s system can generate “heat maps” charting a vehicle’s movements for 30 days, which can be used to reconstruct a person’s movements, associations, and habits. The Fourth Amendment requires a detailed warrant with probable cause. But these new surveillance programs are collecting data on everyone without any suspicion, and are in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.” – Greg Reese

While the Political Circus Distracts Us, Flock Builds the Digital Police State – “The government is watching. It watches where you go, whom you meet, where you worship, what medical offices you visit, what political rallies you attend, what protests you join, what books you read, what websites you visit and what causes you support. It watches through your phone, your car, your doorbell, your appliances, your purchases, your social media accounts and the cameras positioned along the roads you travel every day. This is how freedom dies in the digital police state:” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Quick Take…UK to Announce Social Media Curfew – “Just hours ago, it was reported that UK’s Labour government plans to announce a new social media curfew, adding yet another wrinkle to the country’s increasingly labyrinthine and totally meaningless rules for social media.

Canada seems to be doubling down getting deeper into compelled speech legislation, mandatory land acknowledgements, equity policies that have devastated the working class while the professional class that built them just keeps collecting paychecks. We are watching a real-time experiment play out across nations.” – Karla Treadway

What? Most AI Is Now Written by AI? – “There are serious people who believe this ends well for humanity. There are equally serious people who believe it does not.

NEWS

Can We Trust the State? – “The weekend news that Senator Lindsey Graham is dead at 71 is a shock; even more curious is the tedious whitewashing of his death by the warmongering state he served .The adoring sycophancy of Meet The Press celebrated Graham as a man who loved his work, and worked tirelessly. Pay no attention to the mountains of the dead he created and justified. It’s becoming more difficult to airbrush out a political figure, hide the crimes of the state, and persist in the nation-wide lies we call control narratives. We anticipate the narrative, and every action, reaction, lie and fable uttered by our great leaders is suspect from the start.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

All Predictions for the Iran War Are Perfectly on Track for the Year – “They’re just not the predictions Team Trump or the financial media made.” – David Haggith

Trump Backs Off 20% Fee Plan For Hormuz, Asserts ‘FULL Blockade’ Only On Iranian Ports – “It’s the return of another TACO Tuesday as President Trump in a lengthy Truth Social missive appears to have reversed his plan to collect a 20% of cargo fee ” – Tyler Durden

On White Supremacy – “It was a psyop then, and it’s a psyop now. Never forget that. It’s such a little thing. All the differences in the colors of our skin, eyes, and hair, of whether our hair is straight or kinky, or we have round eyes or epicanthic folds, or our noses are snubbed or elephantine, are determined by less than 0.1% of our DNA. Little adaptive differences forged by the different material environments in which our ancestors lived were used to establish and maintain a monstrous system which ruined or destroyed a billion or so lives and still dominates the thinking of far too many of the descendants of both its beneficiaries and its victims.”- Ohio Barbarian

Lindsey Graham’s Sister to Fill Out the Remainder of His Senate Term – “Darline Graham perfectly meets the requirements of the job. Hear me out. Five Job Requirements Be 30 years old by the time the person is sworn in. Support whatever Trump wants with no questions asked on constitutionally. Support whatever Trump wants with no questions asked on legality. Support whatever Trump wants with no questions asked about Senate rules. Regarding constitutionally, legality, and Senate rules, the less a person knows the better. Is there any doubt on any of the above? If not, how can anyone possibly suggest Darline Graham is not a perfect replacement?” – Mish

Netanyahu Admits To His Plan To ‘Mesh’ America And Israel’s Militaries Together, ‘Strengthening America’s Position On The Battlefield’ – “I think the meshing of our two great countries of talent would strengthen America’s competitive position; both in the economic marketplace and the military battlefield, in many important ways.” – The WinePress

Erika Kirk’s Sacrificial Lamb Tyler Robinson – “The Charlie Kirk Assassination Hearing is over and Erika Kirk immediately shifted from grieving widow to a Soviet Bolshevik as she paced the TPUSA stage and gave a motivational speech worthy of a dopple-spiegel aka, a double sided vanity mirror. Loaded down with pauses and forgotten words, her words will live in infamy – except no one really understands the implication … Speculation rises that Robinson may be Epsteined before he stands trial. Obviously, Israel is attempting to create an “Erika Kirk’ capable of some political office.” -Helena Glass

Under Israeli pressure, US seizes Max Blumenthal’s devices on return from Tehran reporting trip – “The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal was targeted by an Israeli doxxing outfit and Laura Loomer when he arrived in Iran to report on Khamenei’s funeral and the war” -. The Grayzone

$39 Trillion in Debt. There’s Only One Way Out. And You’re Paying for It. – “Let’s be clear. There are three ways to deal with debt. Pay it off. Default/restructure. Attempt to “inflate it away” by devaluing the currency so that every future dollar in debt payments is worth less. Policymakers have been attempting #3 since the late 1990s. The U.S. dollar has lost 50% of its purchasing power since that time.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Consumer prices rose 3.5% annually in June, less than expected as energy prices eased – “Consumer prices posted their biggest decline in more than six years during June as a sharp swoon in energy prices provided at least temporary relief from this year’s inflation surge, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday.” – Jeff Cox – SOUNDS LIKE A CROCK TO ME, WAIT UNTIL THE REVISIONS COME OUT. WE HAVEN’T EVEN FELT THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY PRICES YET IN FUEL OR ELECTRICITY. JUST HAD A RATE INCREASE FROM AMEREN IN ILLINOIS, AND GAS PRICE MAY BE DOWN, BUT THAT IS TEMPORARY. 3.5% IS STILL MORE THAN ANYONE GOT IN THEIR YEARLY INCREASE FROM SOCIAL SECURITY.

Thrift Store Preppers: Save Money with Secondhand Survival Supplies – Daisy Luther

The Quiet Militarization Of Everyday Spaces: Cameras, Drones, And Armed Security – “There was a time when most Americans expected heavy security only at courthouses, airports, prisons, and military bases. That line has moved. Today, cameras watch gas stations, parking lots, schools, churches, malls, neighborhoods, highways, apartment buildings, and even quiet country intersections. Drones appear over public events, police scenes, search areas, and large gatherings. Armed security stands at grocery stores, hospitals, banks, private developments, and entertainment venues. Many people barely notice it anymore. That may be the most important part. A prepper should notice. The goal is not panic. The goal is awareness.” – Alec Deacon

Hold On… Think Your Peppers Are Ready? – ““Is it time yet?” Peppers don’t make the decision easy. Unlike tomatoes that practically announce when they’re ripe, peppers can sit there looking nearly identical for days—or even weeks. They seem caught somewhere between “not quite” and “don’t wait much longer.” If you’ve ever picked one too early, you know the disappointment. The walls are thin. The flavor is grassy. The bite is sharp instead of sweet.” – Bill Heid

Precision Workshop Practices – “We all have should have a place where we can repair, build, or maintain our equipment and appliances. This is a workshop space for our projects, from the simplest like building a simple tool, to the most complex like rebuilding the engine of a classic car. The space needed can range from a small corner of your garage to a complete workshop facility for a fabrication or repair hobby or even a small business.” – Grandpappy

Open Borders Are a Death Sentence to Western Nations – “Governments have refused to respect the wishes of their citizens.” – J.B. Shurk

The Orchestrated Collapse Of The American Empire – “Europe’s economy, and by default, Germany’s, has been in a rapid decline for a decade since George Soros ordered Merkel to Open Borders. She complied. A few years later when the reality of the impact became stridently clear, Soros chided and blamed Merkel for Opening Germany’s Borders. Then she began to get those odd whole body – body shakes. She claims it was heat exhaustion. When Hillary keeled over in NYC years ago – she too claimed it was the heat despite temperatures in the 70’s. And then it went – away. Like most news stories.” – Helena Glass

God’s Last Warning (VIDEO) with Dinesh D’Souza – “D’Souza says America is under attack from evil demons. He warned about it on USAW more than 10 years ago. Fast forward to today, and you can see the see evil still trying to take over with voter rolls that Dems use to cheat their candidates into office. D’Souza says, “Voter rolls are obsolete.” – Greg Hunter

Jon Rappoport On Reality – “Jon Rappoport has long been a hero of mine, and after his passing this week, I just want to acknowledge and appreciate him. Jon was pounding the pavement as an investigative journalist before I was even born. He was a trailblazer, starting “NoMoreFakeNews.com” before “fake news” was a thing.” – UNSHADOWED (formerly known as Ice Age Farmer).

Ding Dong the Dick is Dead! – “It is generally considered bad form to celebrate the death of anyone, but this is a stupid and insincere piety. Was anyone sad the day Stalin died? So why should anyone be sad that Lindsey Graham has died? He wasn’t quite Stalin, of course. He was worse. With Stalin you got what you expected. He was openly a thug (to put it mildly). Graham, on the other hand, was a member of that species of “conservative” who pretended to be an admirer of what “conservatives” like to call small government. A grotesque hilarity. Something like Bruce Jenner in high heels and a dress as a “woman.” It makes you laugh and want to puke at the same time. Cue the Lee Greenwood song. It is the anthem of these cretins.” – Eric Peters

Pay attention to those celebrating the life of Senator Lindsey Graham – “Pay attention to those who are eulogizing Lindsey Graham. While I agree with the sentiment that it’s generally never a good policy to denigrate the dead, you also don’t need to celebrate their life and tell everyone what a great person they were. Lindsey Graham was not just a terrible person. Lindsey Graham was in a whole other category. He actually reveled in the deaths of innocent people and was constantly lobbying for more of said carnage. That’s a special kind of evil that’s hard to understand.” – Leo Hohmann

Growing Consensus Lindsey Graham was Assassinated – “After the official explanation, that Graham died at home from an “aortic dissection” related to the hardening of his arteries, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson argued the senator’s trip to Ukraine and a return arrival time was impossible. “Lindsey Graham couldn’t have died at home on Saturday night,” Johnson said. “The trip to Ukraine plus the return journey make arriving at 8:30 p.m. impossible. Pentagon insiders know the truth. He died in Kiev. The cover story is already exposed by simple schedules. America deserves facts.” Russia is little different than the US or Israel when dealing with enemies. It is likely we will never know for sure who is responsible for the death of Lindsey Graham. If it was indeed Russia, and there is evidence of it involvement, this will probably never be admitted, as it casts a negative light on the ability of the United States to protect its political class from retribution.” – Kurt Nimmo

Lindsey Graham’s Death and Iran – “Diva down as FBI grabs spotlight. Graham becomes the sixth “senior” member of Congress to die in office this term alone (assuming Mitch McConnell isn’t already dead), One might think this would prompt a debate about gerontocracy, but the FBI wants you instead to worry about national security. “The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available,” Director Kash Patel said in a statement after Graham’s death. Patel’s strange intervention has prompted the conspiracy-minded to go wild.” – Ken Klippenstein

Lindsey Graham and Our Vile Pro-War Culture – “In a city full of bloodthirsty militarists, Graham distinguished himself as one of the worst. Once Trump was elected, Graham quickly learned that Trump was much closer to his positions than he assumed. By the end of the first term, Graham had attached himself to Trump in much the same way that he had tied himself to McCain. He may have switched to a new leader to follow, but his atrocious foreign policy views never changed.” – Daniel Larison

Lindsey Graham was a monster, but not exceptional – “Normal people would be ashamed to be seen with him, dead or alive; Western elites are boasting of how close to him they were” -Tarik Cyril Amar

Senator Rand Paul: Another Pretend Conservative Libertarian Who Is A Member Of “The Club” – “He gave his condolences to Lindsey Graham; supported the Covid death shots as “the answer” to restore freedom and take off the masks; him and Graham supported the Baalroom; and kissed The Wall.” – The WinePress

A Delusional Trump Has Another Exciting Week – “Israel feeds misinformation that Iran wants to kill him. There is a good thing about having Donald J Trump as president and that is how during a normal week he will say or do a number of incredibly stupid things that make one want to smile or even laugh outright. Unfortunately, however, the fun stops shortly after that point” – Philip Giraldi

The Israelization of America – “Israel has such contempt for its American puppet doll, into which Israeli operative President Donald Trump has turned a once proud United States, that US Representative Ro Khanna and his fact-finding delegation in the West Bank were detained by criminal “Israeli settlers” armed with US Army machine guns who had no right to be in what remains of Palestine’s West Bank. Khanna and the US delegation were at a village destroyed by the “Israeli Settlers,” an extremist apartheid group operating outside Israeli and international law, not only tolerated by Netanyahu but also encouraged by him.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Trump Reinstates Iranian Blockade, Stuns With 20% ‘Reimbursement Plan’ On Cargo Transit, Oil Prices Surge – “We’re going to keep the strait, and we’ll probably run it. We’ll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we’ll call it the guardian angel of the strait. And we should be reimbursed for that,” -Tyler Durden

‘Millions of enraged people’ hunting for revenge -top Iranian analyst on war’s terrifying next phase (VIDEO) – “Max Blumenthal meets top Iranian analyst and journalist Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran on July 9, moments after the US resumed airstrikes on Iran, and as the funeral procession for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proceeded through Iraq. Blumenthal asks Khoshcheshm what the red flags of revenge seen throughout the funeral procession signify, and whether the many public calls for targeting the US president and his inner circle as retaliation for Khamenei’s assassination,” – The Grayzone

Empire Thuds Iran Again Amidst Symbols of Calamity – “Like the spiral of his legacy swirling down the porcelain drain, Trump has lit off a new cycle of aimless bombings, after his patience had run dry for waiting out Iran’s “surrender” to a war the Persian nation had long won. The US is now trapped in this doom-loop of impotence, striking the same insignificant coastal launch sites over and over to no effect merely as a kind of writhing agony of imperial frustration. The breaking point apparently came over Iran’s refusal to give US and Trump the satisfaction of announcing Hormuz’s reopening, as per Trump’s begging demands.” – Simplicius

No Democrat Has the Brains or Courage to Not Be Crazy – “There’s a big empty lane within Democrat politics, and unfortunately for the Democrats, no one seems to be smart or brave enough to merge into it. What’s that lane? It’s the “Not being completely crazy while also not being completely ancient” lane. ” – Kurt Schlichter

Man killed in Biddeford ICE-involved shooting ID’ed as 26-year-old from Colombia – “Witnesses described seeing one person being shot in the head.” – Morgan Womack

James Carville Has Major Freakout Over The Socialist Wing Of The Party – “In a Politicon video posted Friday, the veteran Democratic strategist blasted the party’s growing crop of Democratic socialist insurgents, arguing they’re more interested in defeating fellow Democrats than Republicans and warning they’ll hand the GOP more victories in the process.” – Tyler Durden

Crude prices had erased most of their wartime gains as barrels returned to the market and fears of oversupply resurfaced.
