THE BIG PICTURE
Can America Be A “Christian Nation”? – “As a rule I prefer not to bring politics into my weekly Proverbs. I prefer to approach faith in a spirit of unity; politics all too often breeds a spirit of division. Nevertheless there are moments when politics and faith intersect, when what is happening out in the world brings what is happening within one’s faith into sharper focus. This weekend, being Independence Day weekend when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, is one such moment.” – Peter Nayland Kust
Air conditioning is the EU’s freedom test – “Once the acceptable level of discomfort becomes a public policy question, it isn’t going to stop there” – Rachel Marsden
Quantum Sensors Being Installed/Beast System (VIDEO) – “Quantum enhanced or hybrid systems could process vast sensor or AI data in ways that enable predictive control, simulation of societies or godlike optimization aligning with interpretations of an allseeing controlling AI entity or the image of the beast that interacts and enforces hyperprecise potentially ubiquitous systems integrated with AI data centers in existing networks like flock cameras create a nearperfect monitoring grid. No easy hiding.” – Ashley Hays

Faking “Water Bankruptcy” Part 1: Data Centres – “The chosen label for this new fear-as-control exercise is “water bankruptcy” . It’s a name originating in a UN report published earlier this year. The decades old grumbling rumours of a “water crisis” just weren’t scary enough you see, so just as global warming became “climate change”, and then “global heating”, and now “global boiling” – so this “crisis” is rebooted as something irresistibly alarming. The language alone is the first indicator of what we really have here. The broad stroke of the “water bankruptcy” narrative is: 1. The planet is running out of clean, safe drinking water” – Kit Knightly

Trump’s Fourth of July Red Scare – “Exploits national holiday to denigrate Democrats as communists. “If the notorious anti-communist Senator Joseph McCarthy were alive, he would likely approve of Trump’s rhetoric. You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.” Did Trump say his government will “exile” communists, the “worst people,” or simply outlaw a political philosophy he disagrees with? ” – Kurt Nimmo
Time to Decide – ” My pride in being an American lies truly with the sentiment and statements of the Declaration. The principles stated therein are worthy of complete devotion, even dedicating one’s life to defending them as I have. That is the cause of my concern. One can celebrate all they want, shoot fireworks into the sky and wear the flag as a shirt, picnic on the Washington Mall, but if that sort of surface patriotism isn’t backed up by the will to oppose all enemies from whatever quarter, with the exertion of force, the United States will be steamrolled by more fervent devotees to other systems.” – T.L. Davis

A Tale Of Two Governors – “California Gov. Gavin Newsom can’t help himself when it comes to bragging about the performance of the state while he’s been in charge. Often it means saying things that are wildly untrue. Compare California to Florida. Democrat Newsom and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are both finishing up their second terms in office, and both are term-limited out next year. So we can test the results of their different approaches to governance. One conservative, the other leftist. One focused on growth, the other on appeasing left-wing constituencies. One has kept taxes and regulations in check, the other has been raising both with abandon. And the result of this eight-year test? Well, see for yourself in the charts below, which track what has happened since both men took office in 2019.” – I & I Editorial Board

Iran Stands Firm on Hormuz as US Desperately Dangles Carrots to No Avail – “Amidst the funeral for Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei, the Saga of Hormuz has continued taking some interesting turns. Iran has refused to make any concessions to the US because it knows the treacherous Trump administration has no principles whatsoever when it comes to honoring deals.” – Simplicius
Bibi tries once again to convince Trump Iran has nukes – “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Is Bibi about to cheat Trump for a second time? Trump’s flirtation with U.S. world domination through his short war with Iran has given him more problems than he could have ever imagined. And it’s about to get worse. ” – Martin Jay
Food Retailers Troubled By This Chart – “Consumer staples and food retail equity analyst Scott Marks at Jefferies told clients Saturday that one of the most concerning charts for food retailers is the sharp decline in average benefits per SNAP participant under the Trump administration, as the USDA intensifies efforts to root out fraud, waste, and abuse.” – Tyler Durden

I BELIEVE THAT ONE!!!!!
