THE BIG PICTURE

Give All That Is Due But No More – “It is not an exaggeration to call obedience to God’s Law the foundation of moral and righteous behavior. If we follow God, we proclaim His authority over us and over our lives. I submit that no person of faith would challenge this notion. Where does that leave the many layers of human government which impact our daily lives? If we acknowledge God’s supreme authority over us, what authority remains for human government to wield? Who has the proper apprehension of human government? Who has the right understanding of human laws, and our obligation to follow human laws? A person with authority—that is, anyone who is in government—who violates God’s Law is therefore guilty of a double sin. He sins by violating God’s Law and he sins again by ignoring the special charge laid upon those in government to be particularly heedful of God’s Law.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Freak Flood, No Warning, 32 Confirmed Dead In San Angelo, Texas, Including 9 Children, Many More Missing, Entire Houses Sucked Into The River, Private Summer Camp Struck – “How can something like this happen? It seems like some kind of geo-engineered attack. One can’t call it mere “rain.” Water crashing into peoples homes in the middle of the night? Just as with West Virginia last year, the people were not warned, and the forecasts were nowhere close to accurate.” – Celia Farber

Texas Flood Tragedy – “A Call for Truth and Action, Not Political Exploitation” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, July 5, 2025 (VIDEO) – ““Officials report multiple deaths from catastrophic flooding in Central Texas” (CNN). “Air pollution linked to lung cancer-driving DNA mutations” (Guardian). “Fear, trust and other human factors are vital yet overlooked piece of solar geoengineering research” (PHYS.org). Question, do these puzzle pieces all fit together? Has weather, chemical and biological warfare long since been taking place in our skies?” – Dane Wigington

Notes from the edge of civilization: July 6, 2025- ” Meet the new boss — same lab coat, different syringe; WHO wants to tax your sweet tooth; USDA plays Screwworm roulette. Let’s start with this zinger from Mr. Medical Freedom himself, none other than Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: “We’re accelerating drug approvals so that you don’t need to use primates or even animal models. You can do the drug approvals very, very quickly with AI.” Cool, cool. Totally reliable, unbiased, and fully transparent AI with no censorship fetish or corporate handlers will now be deciding which experimental drugs are “safe and effective.” No primates needed — just you, your kids, and your “wearables” monitoring adverse reactions. Translation: YOU ARE the clinical trial.” – Collapse Life

Threat in Your Medicine Cabinet: The FDA’s Gamble on America’s Drugs – ” The FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to continue sending drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants that the agency had banned. The agency did not proactively inform the public when drugs were exempted from import bans, and it did not routinely test the medications to ensure they were safe.” – Debbie Cenziper, Megan Rose, Brandon Roberts and Irena Hwang

It’s Official: Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ Registers With Federal Election Commission – Tyler Durden

Who Will It Be? – “At some point we have to set Trump adrift, but who will take up the standard? I do truly believe that Trump will be able to navigate the world through these turbulent times without a world war (even though it has already started), but shortly after his departure it will erupt in destructive fashion. I may be wrong in that assessment, but that’s all it is, an assessment given current facts. What we cannot afford is to allow the Republican party to choose the next candidate for us.” – T.L. Davis

An Abundance of Scarcity – “Is the war still going on between Russia and the Ukraine? Are there still any Palestinians alive in Gaza? Who knows? The news cycle has moved on. No time to think about it. No time for study or reflection…The incoming news rushes in like drones, hot and heavy. Democrats are now proposing to ‘Get Sh*t Done’ — by cutting back on their own regulations. Yes, they’ll repair the damage that they caused…and avoid facing up to the real problem — themselves…by un-doing ‘improvements’ they made over the last five decades. Yes, it is as stupid as it sounds. It includes, for example, building government-run grocery stores in poor neighborhoods. The stores will lose money, just like Amtrak. No matter. Build government-operated grocery stores all over the country. Hire thousands of clerks. Sell billions worth of purple drink and pop tarts. GDP goes up. Unemployment goes down. The statistics may never look better.” – Bill Bonner  – GOOD ONE FROM BILL!!!

US lawmaker calls for ban on ‘deadly weather modification’ – “Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced a bill that would make the release of “weather-altering chemicals” a felony offense” – RT

18 shot, 4 fatally as carload of gunmen opens fire outside River North nightclub; second mass shooting at site since 2022 – “A carload of drive-by gunmen opened fire on a crowd leaving a rap performer’s release party at a River North nightclub on Wednesday night, leaving 18 people shot, 4 fatally, officials said. It marks the second mass shooting at the same location since 2022. The shooting occurred at 11:02 p.m. as a crowd exited Artis Lounge at 311 West Chicago Avenue, following a release party for local rap artist Mello Buckzz.” – Tim Hecke  –  YOU THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GANG MEMBERS. IN ILLINOIS AND OTHER ANTI-GUN STATES THEY JUST GO AFTER LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS WHO HAVE SO-CALLED ASSAULT RIFLES AND PREVENT THEM FROM PROTECTING THEMSELVES WITH ANTI-GUN LAWS THAT HAVE NO AFFECT ON THESE GANG MEMBERS. THEY NEVER ADDRESS THE REAL PROBLEM!!!!

The Big Beautiful Bill and What Could Have Been for Gun Owners – “Republicans had a chance to gut the nation’s first gun control law – and they let it slip away.” – James Fite

Pritzker wants 3rd term, but he’s already made Illinois much more expensive – “Gov. JB Pritzker recently announced his intention to seek a third term, the first time for an Illinois governor in more than 40 years. Pritzker said: “Illinois is standing at the center of the fight — the fight to make life more affordable, the fight to protect our freedoms, the fight for common sense.” The irony about Pritzker and affordability isn’t lost on Illinoisans. Pritzker’s tenure has been marked by record-setting spending and tax, fee hikes that have punished working families and Illinois businesses. He has overseen a $15 billion increase in state spending since taking office — the largest jump under any Illinois governor, Democrat or Republican” – Matt Paprocki  – AND HE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLINKEN ORDERED THE HIT. BIG TECH CARRIED IT OUT. AFRICAN STREAM IS DEAD. – “On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, African Stream published its final video, a defiant farewell message. With that, the once-thriving pan-African media outlet confirmed it was shutting down for good. Not because it broke the law. Not because it spread disinformation or incited violence. But because it told the wrong story, one that challenged U.S. power in Africa and resonated too deeply with Black audiences around the world. When Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused it of being a Kremlin front, Big Tech didn’t hesitate, and within hours, the platform was erased from nearly every major social media site.” – Alan MacLeod

The UK Aims To Entrench Its Influence In Estonia In Order To Lead The Arctic-Baltic Front – “The possible deployment of nuclear-capable F-35As there, which could be equipped with US air-to-ground nukes since the UK no longer has its own, would give London a leading role in managing the joint Arctic-Baltic front against Russia that’s expected to remain even after the Ukrainian Conflict ends” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

If I were 28 Again – “When I was still in my 20s I was able to buy my first house – because my first house was only $155k. That was in Northern Virginia, if you can imagine. Just a few minutes away from Dulles Airport. Of course, that was also back in the mid-’90s. Today, my old house would list for $600k-plus. Some of that is inflation but about $300,000 of it isn’t – at least according to the government’s inflation calculator. This probably explains the stat I came across the other day about the current average age of a first-time buyer. It is – hold onto your helmet – pushing 40. The median age of home buyers is now 56. So, what to do if you’re in your ’20s today? Assuming you don’t want to be middle aged by the time you are able to buy that first house?” – Eric Peters

What prevents Trump from implementing the “Chainsaw” approach like Milei? – “In recent months, many libertarians have criticised Donald Trump’s economic policies, arguing that he is not implementing drastic public spending cuts like Javier Milei has done in Argentina. However, this comparison ignores key structural and contextual differences between the two countries and their governments.” – Daniel Lacalle

You Can’t Grow Your Way Out: The GOP’s Debt Delusion Exposed — David Stockman

Why America’s Manufacturing Revival May Stall Without Willing Workers – “Trump wants a rebirth of American manufacturing, and many Americans are ready. But without a skilled and motivated workforce, even the best economic plans may fall flat. Here’s why employability is the key to real recovery…” – Peter Reagan

Doppelgänger of 1929 Crash (VIDEO) with Alasdair Macleod – “Alasdair Macleod discusses the deepening fiscal and political crises facing both the UK and the U.S., drawing parallels between their debt-driven economies. He criticizes the UK’s new government for raising taxes and spending simultaneously, which he argues has backfired by driving out high-income taxpayers. Macleod warns that most Western economies are already in recession once government deficit spending is stripped out, and that official statistics are increasingly unreliable. ” – Liberty and Finance

Which Countries Invest In The US The Most? – “Foreign direct investment flows have steadily climbed in recent years, fueled by the expansion of multinational companies. A growing share of that capital is now concentrated in a small number of economies, including the United States.” – Kayla Zhu

Up Armored – A 101 Guide to Body Armor – “Professionals understand the necessity of dressing for success. Deep-sea divers lumber into a complicated wetsuit and helmet. Fighter pilots cinch down straps and buckles of a pressure suit, and the modern badged warrior pulls on body armor at the beginning of every shift. The unique nature of these examples is that they are all designed to keep the user alive. In essence, they are all up-armored.” – Fred Mastison

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Matthew 24:35   Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin’ the town and doin’ it right
In the evenin’
It’s pretty pleasin’

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy’s so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin’ and jingin’ the jango
Floatin’ like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin’ on cheese
Sammy says to Susie “Honey, would you please be my missus?”
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he’s ticklin’ her fancy
Rubbin’ her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin’ and jingin’ the jango
Floatin’ like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

( Muskrat Love by Willis Alan Ramsey )
