THE BIG PICTURE

Why Do We Have a Paper-Money System? – “I don’t get it. The Constitution clearly established a monetary system based on gold coins and silver coins. That was the American monetary system for more than 125 years. There has never been a constitutional amendment to convert that system to a paper-money system. Given such, why do we have a paper-money system? The answer lies in the presidential regime of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. Although the Depression had been brought about by the Federal Reserve, which had been established in 1913, Roosevelt blamed the Depression on America’s gold-coin/silver coin system that had been functioning for more than a century. Therefore, Roosevelt decided to convert America’s monetary system to a paper-money system. He ordered every American to deliver his gold coins to the federal government, on pain of a felony conviction for failing to do so. In exchange for their gold, Americans received government-issued paper money. Amazingly, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of what was obviously a flagrantly unconstitutional action.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

X Addendum – “It has been about two weeks now since I decided to stop playing Stalin’s Chicken with Elon Musk’s Algorithm over at “X” – whatever that is supposed to signify. (At least when it was Twitter it signified a chirping little birdie, nicely conveying the intellectual level of the joint.) I still post links to my articles and radio spots but I stopped posting comments/replying to things other people post because of the way the algorithm would intermittently prevent most people from seeing what I’d posted, a deliberate (as I view it) attempt to demoralize posters via essentially the same technique as randomly punishing a dog for no apparent reason that would make any sense to the dog. Of course, part of the reason for this is to get people to pay X a monthly fee that ends up amounting to hundreds of dollars if you kept on paying it for several years. ” – Eric Peters

Forget Climate Spending, Buy Air Conditioners Instead – “More than $1 trillion is spent every year to fight a climate crisis that doesn’t exist. That’s a load of money squandered without saving a single actual life. There’s a far better use for those dollars, if saving lives is the goal, one that’s much cheaper and easier to implement, and would make an enormous difference right away. Sadly, it requires mass purchases of a modest appliance the climate zealots have been trying to kill.” – I & I Editorial Board

Assumptions Can Make You Bankrupt—Or Make You Dead – “If you read my articles, you know I advocated for Trump over the left and I voted for him. But that was before I saw him come out, uncomprehending the reasons the world verges on armageddon, and identifying with the mission of the uni-party war machine. It’s a confusing time. This is a destabilizing chess-match being conducted by an administration that can’t play chess. The world sees it for what it it: a last gasp at empire by the US before facing economic and military bankruptcy” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

“The Network” in the Worlds of the Elites – “Baffled by President Trump’s Response to the Epstein “Client List”? I Think I Get It. I think that it is likely that multiple people who are critical to this administration’s success — my guess is, that these are mostly guys from the Silicon Valley community, who have been the ones to put the fuel of their billions and their technical and media support into President Trump’s campaign and administration’s engines — whether they are innocent or guilty, are in the Epstein files. (Remember why Mrs Gates broke up with Mr Gates?) And I think this nation’s most important scientists, innocent or guilty, are in the files. And my guess is that the funders have confronted President Trump.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

Has the Epstein blackmail racket finally turned on Trump? – “If you ever needed convincing that America was a parody democracy which is run by Israel, then look no further that the Epstein case which is rapidly becoming a huge hit on social media. It seems the more mainstream media in the U.S. refuses to investigate it, the more Trump appears to be desperate on camera when asked about it, the more it stinks, the more pundits on social media parade it for what it is: a scandal which could have devastating implications for Trump as he heads toward the midterms.” – Martin Jay

Release Ghislaine Maxwell – “Ghislaine has been convicted for being an accessory to Epstein’s sex-trafficking of underaged kids. But we now have it from President Trump and the Attorney General of the United States that there is no Epstein client list that provides proof that Epstein was engaged in sex-trafficking for “at least a decade” as the BBC claims. Did Epstein keep all his clients, dates, times, and partners in his head? If there is no client list and nothing in the Epstein file, how were Epstein and Ghislaine convicted? Where is the evidence? As officially there is no evidence, Ghislaine’s attorneys, unless they are bought off or threatened, should have her out of prison tomorrow.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Guess Who’s Behind WSJ’s Trump-Epstein ‘Bombshell’? It All Comes Together – Matt Margolis

Face It, MAGA: Donald Trump Lied To You! – “Six months into Trump’s term in office have proven that the similarities between Donald Trump and Joe Biden are much more than the differences between them. We all clearly remember Trump’s repeated campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours” after taking office. But what has Trump done? He has continued and is now expanding Ukraine’s (meaning America’s) stupid war. Trump justifies this betrayal of the American people who voted for him in typical Trump fashion by turning his betrayal into a business deal. “The European Union is paying for them [America’s Patriot missiles]. We are not paying anything for them… This will be a business for us,” So, money for the war profiteers justifies the escalation of the Ukraine war. The military/industrial complex (and its allies in Congress) will continue to rake in huge financial profits off the blood of the Ukrainian people.” – Chuck Baldwin

Elon’s New Political Party Will Fail – “Musk is fighting a long history of failed third parties. In American politics, third parties have always failed although they can affect outcomes between the main parties in the process.” – Jim Rickards

Just Six US House Members Vote Against Sending Israel Another Half Billion Dollars in Military Aid – “A vote just after midnight Friday morning in the US House of Representatives suggests that the government of Israel is at the top of the heap of special interests when it comes to being able to extract benefits from the US with very widespread support from American legislators. Just 1.4 percent of House members voted for Greene’s amendment. Here is the list of the six House members who voted in opposition to providing another half billion dollars in military aid to what is looking like the most successful special interest in America: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Rep. Al Green (D-TX) Rep. Summer Lee (D -PA) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Rep.

The Russia-Ukraine War Goes On and On – “Neocons and Weapons Makers Are Happy. Roughly three and a half years have passed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the war shows little sign of ending.

Russia Will Target Multinational Forces in Ukraine – “Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova explained that any country that joins a coalition of the willing and deploys troops to Ukraine will become targets. “We have repeatedly stated that a deployment of armed forces of other countries in Ukraine under any pretense would be absolutely unacceptable,” she said. “We regard this as preparations for foreign military intervention.

The Fed Says…. GET READY! HERE IT COMES. Bond Market INFLATION Red Flare. (VIDEO ) – ” Nowhere in the United States Constitution is there a provision for corporate entities to create their own, this isn’t I don’t even want to say currency because it isn’t. The name stable coin, okay it’s not currency it’s not money, okay, it’s these stable coins are linked to the dollar or could be treasuries or whatever something to keep them stable, okay? Hence forth. But it’s not currency. You have to understand if it were labeled as currency, it would flat out be unconstitutional. There’s no provision, as I said, in the Constitution where President Trump just signed into law. None. It’s not currency. It’s not money. It’s stable coins. That’s the name. Now, you’re going to see Black Rockrock stable coins. You’re going to see JP Morgan stable coins. you’re going to see circle stable coins, whatever it might be. Um, these are not currency again.

Fire the Fed, Raise Tariffs, and Hope for the Best- “President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent want lower interest rates so they can lower the financing costs of America’s massive debt. The net interest on the debt for fiscal year 2025 is on track to hit $1 trillion. Of course, a sensible way to lower interest rates would be to eliminate deficit spending. With a balanced budget, the Treasury would no longer have to issue new debt. It could merely finance the existing debt. Under this scenario the pool of Treasuries would no longer be expanding. Tariffs, and their associated effects, will touch just about every consumer good that people regularly buy and use.” – MN Gordon

Ultra-Based Tucker Carlson vs. the Banks – “Over the last half-century, finance industry goblins run amok have wrecked the American middle class, which, at this rate, won’t exist at all in twenty years. Millions of young Americans, as a consequence of the 2008 financial collapse alone — the underlying cause of which has gone unremedied, by the way — forever lost any sense of hope of ever affording a house of their own. Depriving the youth of any cause for optimism is no way to run a country. Quite the contrary, it’s a recipe for entropy. Such was the secondary thesis of Tucker Carlson’s address to the kids of Turning Points, which received paltry coverage from the legacy media for the obvious reason that they love the finance goblins who have gleefully wrecked the American middle class” – Ben Bartee

The Great Contagion Con: Why Everything You’ve Been Told About ‘Virus’ Transmission is Wrong – “‘Viral transmission’ was disproved over 100 years ago. Why do people still believe in it? As we saw during COVID, the last thing governments and globalist outfits like the WHO care about is our health. They subjected us to years of freedom-crushing dystopia, and the ‘pandemic’ fear porn was used to con and coerce billions into getting injected with demonstrably harmful and often deadly drugs. And it was all made possible by the virus paradigm. Curiously, medicine has no cure for any of these ‘viral’ diseases, despite allegedly knowing the full genomes of the viruses. The story further claims that viruses can be transmitted from one person to another by coughing, sneezing and even such innocuous activities as breathing, You can even “catch” a virus by touching a counter top or doorknob upon which some virions are lurking. There’s just one wee problem with the virus paradigm: It’s a load of bollocks.” – Anthony Colpo

Governmental Self-Preservation: Why We’ll Never See The Real Epstein List – “If there’s one characteristic that defines Donald Trump it’s his habit of switching his positions on a dime – Leaving many a critic looking rather foolish when they establish an argument against him today, only to discover he mostly agrees with them tomorrow. I’ve learned it’s best to wait a little while before commenting on the man’s policy decisions and allow time for the debate to ferment. After months of deflection and now retraction, the Jeffery Epstein controversy has turned especially ripe. To understand the chaos surrounding the Epstein issue we have to first recognize that it’s the product of an inherent division within the MAGA movement that needs to be addressed. The campaign to support Trump is built on two groups that intersect but don’t always agree:” – Brandon Smith

The Epstein Enigma – “Do you detect the signs of Rope-a-Dope in Mr. Trump’s recent blasts against the Epstein mess? It must be obvious that anything he says will be violently opposed by his Democratic Party enemies. So, now he’s got them slavering for release of the Epstein files, whatever they are, or rather, whatever’s left after former FBI Director Christopher Wray & Co. curated them, shall we say.

I’m not the first to point out that the president’s most rabid enemies ignored the Epstein case during the entirety of “Joe Biden’s” four-year ectoplasmic visitation in the White House” – James Howard Kunstler

Israel bombed the only Roman Catholic church in Gaza, injuring several including the priest. Israel delenda est.

Jimmy Kimmel Melts Down Over Colbert Cancellation, and ABC Has the Chance to Do the Funniest Thing Ever – “Gone are the days when late-night hosts told jokes that could bring in a broad, national audience. These days, it’s just the same, tired lines about Republicans and fascism told in various forms. Getting laughs isn’t the point anymore. Instead, it’s to generate partisan applause. It’s such a far cry from what late-night used to be, even as recently as Jay Leno, who left “The Tonight Show” in 2014. On the other hand, ABC, which owns and airs Kimmel’s show, now has the chance to do the funniest thing ever. Given CBS cited financial concerns as the reason Colbert was canceled, it’s hard to see how ABC doesn’t have those same issues. I can’t say for sure, but when you consider everything involved, the math isn’t really mathing as far as Kimmel’s show being financially lucrative. So perhaps he should consider that before popping off, because he could and should be next on the chopping block.” – Bonchie

Regardless of whether a tariff regime is implemented on August 1st or not. Nothing seems certain within the Trump White House at the present moment as tensions and struggle mount with the administration but even if the tariff regime were to be further postponed, this huge stockpiling will likely be run down over the second half of the year.

Can American Patriots Support Either Political Party? – “The simple answer is no. Identifying with either party is pathological. Those who begin an article/podcast with how much they love this country are living in a time warp. There used to be plenty to love about this country, now, what’s left are our founding documents. What do you love about this country? Is it liberty from sea to sea—the republic? Given economic rubble, political insanity, medical sadism—and 1 man rule, the US advances, adhering to the Wolfowitz Doctrine (the Empire doesn’t negotiate). Under a false assumption, Putin is playing Trump, we slide into mayhem, using force, not diplomacy. Appear to negotiate, as does Trump, nudging ever-closer to ending history . Trump, with his mouthpiece, Lindsey Graham, are standard bearers for the insanity. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

“Can You Hit Moscow”? – “A report – not about who’s on Epstein’s list – has come out that claims Trump asked the little dictator of Ukraine whether he can “hit Moscow”? It comes on the heels of reports that Trump – egged on by the little dictator of South Carolina, Lindsey Graham – has agreed to send the other little dictator another tranche of weapons to attack the Russians with. Including – reportedly – American made missiles capable of striking targets in Moscow. Try to imagine how Americans – including Trump – would react if Putin publicly asked the Iranian leader whether he could “hit Washington.” And then announced he’d be sending the Iranians missiles capable of doing that. But, you see, it is different when Americans do what Trump just did. Cue the Lee Greenwood song.” – Eric Peters

America Is Not A ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ – “This insidious slogan is once again being used by Republicans to justify another amnesty bill. The relevant history, as well as the difference between an immigrant and a settler, are clear enough. The thing to understand right now is why the “nation of immigrants” line is being deployed at all. I would suggest that it’s being deployed for the same reason it was deployed in 1986: as propaganda to justify mass amnesty for illegal immigrants and bolster the notion that it’s somehow “un-American” to insist on secure borders, assimilation, and citizenship.” – John Daniel Davidson

NO! Hell no. – “What Trump doesn’t realize, or want to recognize, is that the Jeffrey Epstein issue is not about Jeffrey Epstein, it’s about child sexual abuse.

Naturally, there will be no accountability for their actions. Epstein, of course, was most likely executed in his prison cell (the cameras mysteriously didn’t work; the guards mysteriously disappeared).” – Bill Astore

Trump has had enough of this Jeffrey Epstein “HOAX” and is tired of his “PAST supporters who have bought into this “bullshit” – “Welp, that solves this. Epstein Files were just some kind of Obama Hoax. But at least we are going to stop all the war bullshit, right? In the first five months of his second term, President Donald Trump has overseen 529 U.S. airstrikes, nearly matching the 555 recorded during all four years of Joe Biden’s presidency” – Sage Hana

Low IQ Jasmine Crockett Says USAID Is Vital To Fund Sesame Street In Iraq… Or Something – “Huh? Idiocracy-a-like Democrat Jasmine Crockett argued during a hearing that USAID, the slush fund decimated by DOGE, is desperately needed in order to fund US propaganda in places like Iraq to ensure Islamists there don’t become radicalised against America. Yes, really. Crockett claimed that past programs including a version of Sesame Street that was made for Iraq are vital to national security, suggesting “This is so that there is not this warped thought process about the Western world.”” – Steve Watson

Trump Dismantles Syria Sanctions – Israel Bombs Syria – “While President Trump dismantles Syria Sanctions Program in support of the new al Qaeda government, Israel is bombing the new government installed by the Mossad. Not to be deterred, Israel is also continuing its bombing of Lebanon and Yemen so they can feel the Trump Heat. Meaning there is a good likelihood Israel will reignite its lobs on Iran after all the good Ole American’s dug further into their piggy banks and gave away our military security to the Access of Evil – Israel.” – Helena Glass

ECONOMIC NEWS

(ITS TIME TO RUN!) It Passed. CORPORATE CURRENCY/STABLECOINS CONTROLLED BY THE FED. (VIDEO) – ” Our entire financial system, its backbone is going to now be shifted towards a corporate agenda like we’ve never seen before. We all understand that the United States uh now is a corporate state controlled by the government. Now they’re going to control to a large degree the currency coordinating with the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. This is I can’t think of another term for this. Infinitely dangerous. We’re going to wish we had a central bank digital currency. Why would we wish for something like that instead of what we’re getting here? You see with a central bank digital currency there would be congressional oversight, what just happened there’s nothing, we get no say so in anything and still the Federal Reserve gets to oversee the whole thing. This is a dream scenario for the Federal Reserve. We lose” – Gregory Mannarino

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

11 Most Overlooked Survival Equipment and Supplies – “Concerning survival equipment and supplies, the more “tacti-cool” elements tend to garner the lion’s share of attention. Other items which are sometimes just as important to survival tend to get overlooked. This article will take a look at the latter, which includes items that people have needed in actual survival ordeals or could need in response to known threats that simply have not yet occurred but could or probably will occur someday.” – Cache Valley Prepper

But like any tool, it works best when you understand its limits. Gorilla and 3M have made some of the best duct tapes out there, and when used right, they’ll save your skin.

THE BIG PICTURE

The AI Police State Is Already Here: Transhumanism Can Now Go Into High Gear – “Trump’s handler’s (from the ruling cabal) major agenda was to build a massive national (global) Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, capable of taking over government bureaucracy, many government and private vital functions, finance and full-scope digitization, economic decisions, military use including aggression falsely labeled as ‘defense,’ and constant and total surveillance of all. Hence, one of his first policy moves was to dedicate $500 billion dollars (half a trillion) to this effort, the Stargate Project, and that is only the start. To say that we live in a changing world, is no longer accurate, as the imagination has been stretched to infinity, as transhumanism is at our doorstep.” – Gary D. Barnett  – GARY ONLY WRITES ONE OR TWO FREE ARTICLES A MONTH, BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS GOOD. THIS ONE AS WELL!!!

The Wearables Trap: How the Government Plans to Monitor, Score, and Control You – “Bodily autonomy—the right to privacy and integrity over our own bodies—is rapidly vanishing. The debate now extends beyond forced vaccinations or invasive searches to include biometric surveillance, wearable tracking, and predictive health profiling. We are entering a new age of algorithmic, authoritarian control, where our thoughts, moods, and biology are monitored and judged by the state.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

All mainstream vaccine news is Kennedy news – “We’re looking at competing vaccine propaganda ops. The TRUTH is, he’s doing MAHA-Lite. Very, very Lite. That’s Kennedy’s reality. The majority of MAHA and MAGA nation won’t admit this. Neither will big conservative pro-Trump sites. They don’t want to rock Trump’s boat.” – Jon Rappoport

Trump’s GENIUS Act CBDC Will Allow Government to Punish Vaccine Mandate Refusers by Freezing Bank Accounts – “Trump is doing the exact opposite of what he pledged to an audience soon after he was elected in November 2024. He said he would ban CBDCs – central bank digital currencies – but Stablecoins are in every important respect CBDCs. GENIUS Act CBDC Just One Part of Control Grid Trump is Building” – Publius

Questions, more questions, and even more questions … – “It’s bizarre and surreal, but it occurs to me that no reporter in the world has ever asked President Trump (and, before him, “President” Biden), one question about the stunning increase in all-cause excess deaths that have been recorded since 2021. If such a question was posed, the obvious follow-up question would be, “What do you think is causing these millions of extra deaths?” A third question on the subject of all-cause deaths might be: “Mr. President, are millions of extra deaths an important subject for citizens and world leaders to address?”” – Bill Rice Jr.

Epstein: Secrets, Lies and Videotape – “More business as usual. After Donald Trump embarrassed himself by berating a reporter with “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” it seemed likely that he would flip flop and say something to encourage his now disappointed base. But he did nothing of the sort. Instead, he took to Truth Social Media and produced an unfathomable rant. Where do we begin to analyze such verbal legerdemain? We have come to expect the absurd boasts, and having a “PERFECT administration” fits in nicely with having the “strongest economy in history” and “most secure border in history.” Is the line about Epstein never dying an inside baseball remark, alluding to the fact that he is alive, as many believe?” – Donald Jeffries

US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries to Stop Washington’s Enabling of Israeli Aggression – “US Rep. Greene has introduced legislation to remove military aid for Israel from the US budget. Marjorie Greene has done several things that members of the US House and Senate are trained not to do. She acknowledged Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons. Members of the US government are not supposed to acknowledge Israel’s nuclear weapons, US Rep. Greene also points out the incongruity of Israel armed with nuclear weapons needing American military aid. This is especially the case when American men and women were killed and wounded fighting Israel’s wars against Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Hezbollah the protector of Lebanon, and then were abandoned by Washington and are living on the streets. The US military is now being urged to die for Israel in Iran.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – LOVE HER OR HATE HER, MTG SAYS IT HOW IT IS ON MOST ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Batman Vs The Joker: Democrats Will Double Down On Chaos To Save Their Party – “Whenever I think of the behavior of the Democratic Party and the political left in general I can’t help but think of the philosophy of Batman’s nefarious arch-nemesis, The Joker. And yes, I’m saying that to understand leftists all you really need to do is read comic books. Batman, of course, represents unflinching law, order and justice. He’s a vigilante, but a vigilante with more respect for the law than most police and politicians in his fictional realm of Gotham City. The Joker, on the other hand, represents pure chaos and the unhinged, unadulterated desire for power. Not traditional power (the means to control) but the archaic power to corrupt and destroy.” – Brandon Smith

Ben Shapiro Warning Me Not to Listen to InfoWars Makes Me Want to Listen 10x Harder – “This little recent rant from Ben Shapiro ironically reveals much more about him and his low opinion of his own audience to whom he peddles his slop than it does about its intended target, Alex Jones.

United they could upend Trump’s entire Tariff schematic. ” – Helena Glas

Should other countries obey America’s current dictator, Trump, or cut U.S. trade? – “Ever since at least Obama’s 2012 Magnitsky Act sanctions against Russia on fraudulent grounds, the U.S. regime has been demanding other countries to comply with America’s illegal (i.e., not authorized by the U.N.) sanctions (against not only Russia but also many other countries that the U.S. and its allies want to absorb into their empire) or else be punished by the U.S. regime for not doing so.” – Eric Zuesse

In other words, homes for sale go way up, but still, nobody can buy them. Then people really panic, and they start cutting the asking price of their house really dramatically until prices fall to a place where people can afford them again. In today’s market, that means a 30% to 40% drop in house prices. We are at the very beginning of that right now. . .. In the next couple of years, you are going to see home prices drop, and then the drop is going to become disorderly. Then you are going to see bankruptcies really hit housing.” – Greg Hunter

Summer Storms – “Theories on the Epstein mess fly around like a murmuration of starlings wheeling across an angry summer sky. The birds are just birds. They are not the storm clouds in the background. Mark the difference. You can rightly say that Mr. Trump has handled this Epstein business rather awkwardly — especially last Wednesday’s little show of vexation in the cabinet meeting, barking, nothing to see. . . just move along. What? You’ve been watching the Epstein psychodrama unspool for nearly twenty years, so how can it possibly come to this? But then, Sunday, the president suggested on his social media that the Epstein business had become a Democratic Party op. He did not elaborate. And maybe it sounds suspiciously spurious. But, is it not worth considering? Consider: The Democratic Party was up to its eyeballs in ops against Mr. Trump since he rode down that fabled escalator in 2015.” – James Howard Kunstler

Assessing Epstein – “America deserves to know. As everyone seems to be speaking of the Epsetin list (or lack thereof) and the seeming shakeups at justice, FBI and the political positions swirling around it, Please allow an internet cat a moment upon a soap box to weigh in because everything about this entire Epstein matter stinks like the underside of a monkey tree during over-ripe durian season. Epstein was obviously some sort of asset running some sort of ugly honeypot ring. He and Ghislaine had all manner of ties to the intelligence community, This is exactly the sort of game the IC likes to play,” – El Gato Malo

Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal ‘truth’ of the pedophile client list, say insiders. So, why are Republicans blocking her? – “Maxwell, 63, is the only person behind bars – serving 20 years on child sex trafficking charges. ‘Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story. ‘No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.’ What that ‘truth’ is remains to be seen.” – Caroline Graham  – HOW CAN IT BE SEX TRAFFICKING IF THERE ARE SUPPOSEDLY NO CLIENTS!!!!

Trump tries to kill the Epstein story and fails totally – “Trump is trying to rein in MAGA and make the Epstein issue into nothing. In doing so, his worst side is coming out.” – Jon Rappoport

Trump Can’t Bully MAGA – “The bully Trump reveals itself when he tries to protect his favorites. The latest is Pam Bondi, who has consistently made grandiose statements only to slink silently back into the shadows while the political allies of Donald Trump wait breathlessly for something, anything, to happen. The trouble with Trump is that he believes that he has accomplished all of the things necessary, without realizing that his success is fueled by the demands of his MAGA supporters. Even those who have little or no respect for Trump, the man, recognize what good he has done, how he has changed the dynamics of the conversation surrounding government.” – T.L. Davis

Dear MAGA: If You Think Masked ICE Thugs Wouldn’t Do the Same to You, You’re Even Dumber Than You Look – “Let’s start with just how uncomfortable I am with the cops.

Ukraine’s Corporate Carve-Up Collapses? – “On July 5th, Bloomberg reported that a BlackRock-administered multibillion-dollar fund for Kiev’s reconstruction, due to be unveiled at a dedicated Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome July 10th/11th, had been placed on hold at the start of 2025 “due to a lack of interest” among institutional, private, and state financiers. BlackRock’s Ukraine Development Fund has been in the works since May 2023. It was originally envisaged as one of the most ambitious public-private finance collaborations in history, which would rival Washington’s Marshall Plan that rebuilt – and heavily indebted – Western Europe in World War II’s wake. With vast returns promised, initially investors were reportedly “ready to plow funds” into the endeavour, due to widespread optimism Kiev’s much-hyped “counteroffensive” later that year “might end the war quickly.”” – Kit Klarenberg  – RUSSIA KIND OF PUT THE KIBOSH ON BLACKROCK’S MONEY MAKING SCHEME!!!

5 States Discussing Plans to Build Prisons Like ‘Alligator Alcatraz’: Noem – “Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not say which states were discussing these plans with her team.” – Jacob Burg

Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Russia Over Ukraine, So What? – “On the surface, Trump’s big announcement on Russia is a nothingburger. The sum total of US imports from Russia is ~3 billion for 2024. This is supposed to make Putin quake? However, the threat appears to be “secondary tariffs” for which Trump currently has no authority to make, but he doesn’t care. A “secondary” tariff, would target other nations that do business with Russia.” – Mish

Doing Our Part to End the Empire – “All hail our blurt-worthy President! On a daily basis, he does his part to reveal the stained wife beater worn underneath the Empire’s fraying costume. The United States empire already consumes 40% of what we make, more if you consider its nonstop borrowing from future taxpayers. It regulates and controls much of the non-state economy, and is frenetically militarizing in every direction. Yet focusing only on these facts can reduce our recognition of the real and unlimited power of individual action. Using billions in military force against a disarmed population, the US and Israel pursue a shared objective of genocide, land and gas field theft. They ended Syria in a similar way, eliminating Syria’s defenses and “rehabilitating” CIA-created “ISIS” into the ruling party, elections always optional for our favorite allies. Gaza, Syria, and Iran today are seamless parts of the same Middle Eastern policy the US has wasted $6 Trillion and countless millions of lives in the past 30 plus years.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

While caches are often hidden away from your home, there are also smart ways to store things safely on your own property—like in your backyard—where they stay protected and out of sight. As a homesteader, chances are you already stock food, tools, and medicine. But what happens if someone raids your pantry or your barn catches fire? What if authorities come knocking with confiscation orders?” – Steve Nubie

Why Cow Sharing is Illegal and How It Can Save Your Life – “Bottom line: Cow sharing’s a mixed bag across the U.S. It’s outright illegal in 9 states (Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.), legal or allowed in 35 (think California, Texas, and Pennsylvania), and a gray area in 6 others (like Florida and Georgia). Since laws shift fast, check your state’s rules on sites like Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund before diving in.” – Caleb Cartwright

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Proverbs 30:14   There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

SPECIAL LYRIC FOR THE DAY

Well I let you down again
For the thousandth time today
And I just can’t seem to find
What it is I’m supposed to say
All my words are falling short
Of their mark inside my head
And only cinders still remain
Of the roses in their beds

But if, by chance
I could find the light
And if my hands could be pacified
By love, by you
By the trials they put us through
By hope, by life
By the tears I held inside
By new, by old
By the dogs within my soul
By right, by true
By the peace we never knew

Oh
Oh

‘Cause it ain’t fair
And it ain’t easy
When you’re trying to fight the pain
So bet on love, bet on beauty
On the chance to rise again

Well I saw you out in town
In the same old sweet routine
In the violence of the crowd
Wearing tears you wouldn’t sing
And I couldn’t quite work out
How to bridge this great divide
In the darkness of the evening
How to reach those failing eyes

But if, by chance
I could find the light
And if my hands could be pacified
By love, by you
By the trials they put us through
By hope, by life
By the tears I held inside
By new, by old
By the dogs within my soul
By right, by true
By the peace we never knew

Oh
Oh

‘Cause it ain’t fair
And it ain’t easy
When you’re trying to fight the pain
So bet on love, bet on beauty
On the chance to rise again

Oh don’t go tell me that the best that you had is behind
And don’t believe them when they tell you you’re out of your mind
Your obligation is to work out what’s right and what’s wrong
Our great obsession is to end up just where we belong

Oh
Oh

‘Cause it ain’t fair
And it ain’t easy
When you’re trying to fight the pain
So bet on love, bet on beauty
On the chance to rise again

Oh
Oh
