U.S. Genocidal Madness Has Never Ended! – “Those of us who write about the heinous Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, although we are most often met with blind indifference by the bulk of society, continue to expose this evil in the midst of this torturous death of innocents. The inability to convince the ruled masses that they should stand up and stop this unholy carnage, by continually reporting the atrocities being perpetrated, tends to leave the messengers helpless. But in reality, genocidal madness and mass murder have been a part of this country called the ‘united’ states, since the very beginning. ” – Gary D. Barnett

JB Pritzker is acting presidential — too bad his state is in such shambles – “JB Pritzker made headlines when he called for “mass protests” against the Trump administration. There’s no question, the second-term governor of Illinois is positioning himself for a presidential run, as he crisscrosses the country lauding his time serving the citizens of the Prairie State. But what he’s not telling the crowd about Illinois is precisely what Americans need to know most. A federal government run like the state of Illinois would do little to quell their fears. Today, Illinois has more than $200 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, with the state’s government pension systems hovering around 50% funded. It’s bad news for pensioners, who live with the uncertainty of not knowing if a retirement check from the state could bounce. It’s perhaps even worse news for Illinois taxpayers, who are on the hook for such enormous liabilities. Already, Illinoisans are taxed to the hilt. WalletHub recently named Illinois the state with the single highest state and local tax bill in the nation. The median Illinois household pays $13,099 each year to a complicated web of government entities. I personally pay taxes to 17 different levels of government, That’s in addition to sales taxes, gas taxes, grocery taxes and other nickel-and-dime taxes I pay.” – Diana Sroka Rickert

The CIA Is Still Giving Logistics In Kyiv…at Weapons Depot – “WHY is President Trump calling out Putin on international news? WHY is he criticizing Putin while continuing to bomb Yemen? What just shifted? Was it all a distraction? In collusion with Germany, UK, and France, the US has suddenly lifted the restriction of Zelenskky employing long range weapons inside Russia. Russia has been bombarded with Ukraine drones hitting civilian locations. Ukraine has now become the largest manufacturer of military drones. Those weapon depots inside Ukraine were the target of the last strikes from Russian into Kyiv. And Trump is either a double agent, or very ill-informed internally.” – Helena Glass

Medvedev Issues Map Showing Putin’s ‘Buffer Zone’ Could Swallow Most Of Ukraine – Tyler Durden

Trump’s Latest Angry Post About Putin Is His Most Significant One Yet – “Trump is either being maliciously misinformed about the conflict from his trusted advisors (not counting Witkoff of course) or that he’s manipulatively creating the pretext for US escalation. Trump’s latest angry post about Putin revealed a lot about how he perceives the Ukrainian Conflict. According to Trump, “[Putin] has gone absolutely CRAZY! What’s really happening is that Russia ramped up its bombing campaign against Ukraine in response to Ukraine ramping up its drone one first, during which time Putin’s helicopter was almost downed after it was caught in a drone swarm while he was visiting Kursk last week.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: Big Beautiful BULL! – “Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” couldn’t be more hideous, irresponsible and full of BULLoney. Even Trump boasts that his “Big Beautiful Bill” surpasses the scale of anything in history. In fact, if this Bill were a man, he’d have to be transported on doubled pallet boards, across which his exposed fat would sprawl in bruised ponds of blubber like Jabba the Hutt.” – David Haggith

Et tu, Costco? – “Buy now, pay later, with 36% interest. With its family-friendly bulk packages, high-quality Kirkland store brand, and, more recently, competitively priced gold and silver bars, Costco has always taken care of its customers. So its introduction of yet another way to accumulate ruinous debt feels like a betrayal: Let’s get this straight: Costco’s buy now, pay later plan charges up to 36% interest for up to 36 months. So it’s not credit card adjacent; it’s actually much worse than a typical high-tech-loan-shark credit card. ” – John Rubino

When Things Go to Heck, Have a Hand Truck – “Many years ago, I had the opportunity to use a hand truck that belonged to my building when I moved out. I noticed how much it helped to have it around. I could pile boxes on it and easily manoeuvre them around, even up the moving truck ramp. I noted these features, filing them away for future reference. Fast forward a decade, and I’m living my dream out on a small homestead. One of the first things I bought when I moved onto my land was a hand truck.” – Rowan O’Malley

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Jeremiah 2:21-22  Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?  For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.
