You’re easier to find than you think – “Anyone with about $20 and your name can pull up your home address, your phone number, your relatives, and a map to your front door. No hacking required, because data brokers sell it to them legally. American Thinker is launching a partnership with Incogni, the personal data removal service, to bring readers ongoing coverage of the privacy and security threats now baked into everyday American life.” – Andrea Widburg

Your Desperation Has a Dollar Value – “Thanks to surveillance pricing, corporations don’t just know what you want—they know how badly you want it. And they’re charging accordingly. We’re already aware that our phones are spying on us even when they’re turned off. And don’t even get me started on Flock cameras. I mean, what’s next—shopping carts that can smell a break-up and instantly double the price of ice cream, Kleenex, and boxed wine? A curious assurance, seeing as in the Senate hearing, Hawley brought up Walmart’s patent for a spiffy new shopping cart—one equipped with sensors capable of tracking the cart’s speed as well as the shopper’s heart rate and body temperature. This information, you’ll be overjoyed to learn, can then be used to assign the shopper an “agitation score.” Yes, an agitation score. This cart, you see, was not designed merely to transport your avocados and almond butter to the checkout—how quaint—but is also compiling a handy biometric profile on you like a rogue Fitbit ratting you out to corporate.” – Jenna McCarthy

Shock gloves for shock troops – “‘Electric-shock gloves’ may soon be used against anyone resisting Trump’s ICE agents, but is there a broader agenda in play? A future roundup of draft resisters?” – Leo Hohmann

The Camp of the Saints Has Come Home to America, a Doomed Nation – “Americans are unaware of how infiltrated their legal and political institutions are by immigrant-invaders. Americans, thanks to corrupt Presidents, even have immigrant-invaders as judges who use their positions to rule against deportations of illegal aliens including dangerous criminals. Well funded immigration activists have funded 20,000 lawsuits to force the release of immigrant-invaders. Perhaps you wonder the cost of 20,000 lawsuits? Yes, it is a multi-billion dollar operation that some people are getting rich off of. Who are the people so intent that America becomes a tower of babel as to spend billions of dollars to achieve their purpose? No one knows the whole story, and of course the presstitute media is not interested.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – JEAN RASPAILS NOVEL HAS COME TO FRUITION!!!

Things Get Spicy – “And so, all of a sudden, having failed to subvert or assassinate the president they abhor, and foil his attempt to repair our country, the combined forces of the Democratic Party, the seditious news media, and a traitorous government bureaucracy resort to communist jihad in their crusade to wreck the USA. There’s a sort of last-gasp feeling about all this. Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman el Sayed put it nicely the other day when he said of his opponents, “When they go low, we go lower.” True dat. Cue the communist jihadis to stage street-actions (a.k.a. “riots”) this fall in their captive cities and states. Since they can’t win elections without massive fraud, they will opt to do whatever is necessary to make the election impossible, and chaos is their go-to tactic in this contest of wills.” – James Howard Kunstler

Mamdani’s Free Buses Are Costing New York Millions – “There’s an old saying about socialism/communism that applies to New York City right now, as the new commie Mayor Mamdani is learning the hard way. Why? Because New York’s commie mayor promised the city free buses, and that idea is costing the city millions. New York is fast running out of other people’s money.” – Ward Clark

Switching Presidential Planes in Ankara – “Hardly a week goes by when Donald Trump is not the centerpiece and source of a lie so outrageous or an accusation so heinous that one has to sit back gazing at one’s computer screen, stunned by the audacity and shaking one’s head in disbelief. But even after what is now more than a year and a half of exposure to Trumpism, there is sometimes an insult, or a gesture, or an insane narrative that moves one to something beyond that, akin to shock in the realization that it is our country and even a large part of the world that is being damaged by the asinine performance. Even given Trump’s ignorance and demonstrated lack of empathy for anyone else but himself, this Prisoner of Zenda-like escape from Air Force One through a cart used to deliver meals to the plane reminds one of how a somber Rod Serling used to intone “We have now entered the Twilight Zone.” ” – Philip Giraldi

In Republican-led Iowa, the GOP nominee for governor introduces an anti-establishment message – “Farmer Tim Burrack had concerns about the Republican nominee for Iowa governor — and he wasn’t the only one. The conservative voter from northeast Iowa said he didn’t know Zach Lahn before the political newcomer “came out of nowhere” with a surprise GOP primary win over the candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump. So when Lahn came to his farm last week, Burrack questioned him on his approach to agriculture. “I hit him pretty hard,” said Burrack, who was considering whether to vote for Lahn in November or not vote at all.” – Hannah Fingerhut

English Village Will Have Six MIGRANT MEN To Every Woman – “What do you think will happen? A quiet North Yorkshire village of roughly 600 people is set to be flooded with around 1,200 single adult male asylum seekers at the nearby disused RAF Linton-on-Ouse base. Local women would be outnumbered six to one.” – Steve Watson

What the Three RIC Musketeers are really up to – “Relish the ambiguity. And the deliberate opaqueness. Hop on a new adventure: let’s look at RIC (Russia-Iran-China), the new Primakov triangle, as I have defined them, in a more playful way. These three civilization-states that are coordinating the new phase of Eurasia integration, and also established as full BRICS and SCO members, as in fact The Three Musketeers.” – Pepe Escoba

‘US is far more deeply involved’: Russia accuses Washington of providing intel for Ukraine strikes – “Lavrov on Friday said Moscow has sought answers from Washington over alleged US involvement in attacks deep inside Russian territory as Putin remains open to talks with Trump’s envoys. He said Putin would be prepared to receive US envoys if they returned to Russia to discuss Ukraine, but questioned what Washington would bring to the table. “The question is what they will be bringing with them,” Lavrov said. At the same time, the Russian foreign minister signalled that Moscow intended to step up attacks aimed at disrupting Western military assistance to Ukraine.” – FP News Desk

Record Fuel Prices Blast off in US Right on Schedule! – “Iran promises war to run hot for, at least, 2-1/2 more years … until Trump is gone!” – David Haggith

July PPI: Producer Prices Running Colder – “Where Is The Energy Price Inflation?” – Peter Nayland Kust

Jobs Fall, but Unemployment Rate Gets Better – “This gave ammunition to both sides: The doomers point to falling jobs, the optimists point to an unemployment rate that matches or beats 90% of months over the past 50 years. So which is it: Are we in a jobs recession? Or is a falling labor force a good thing? But the bigger issue is the main driver of the paradox right now is millions of Americans are dropping out of the workforce. As in there’s fewer jobs, but there’s even fewer people in the workforce. Which mechanically reduces the unemployment rate because the unemployment rate doesn’t measure everyone without a job. It measures people without jobs who are actively looking for work, divided by the total labor force. In other words, if somebody loses a job and looks for another one, that person is unemployed. But if he gives up searching, retires or otherwise leaves the labor force, the government no longer counts him as unemployed.” – Peter St Onge  – HAVE EXPLAINED IT BEFORE IN OLDER LINKS, BUT SOME DON’T REALIZE THIS!!!

Iran Is Tracking Toward Gold Hormuz Toll & Oil Trade Settlement / Record Diesel Market Shortage – “Today, the spread in price between the price of a barrel of diesel vs a barrel of crude oil hit an all time high in the US over $97 /barrel (bbl) before pulling back this evening after US markets closed. When energy markets are well supplied, this diesel crack spread (price spread) differential typically runs between 15 and 25 USD/bbl.” – David Jensen

The State of Americans’ Auto Debt – “Auto loan balances, average amount financed, loan length, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and delinquencies from subprime to prime. The average amount financed for new-vehicle loans soared to a record $42,500 (red line in the chart below), as automakers continued to go upscale.” – Wolf Richter  – I REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD BUY A DECENT HOUSE FOR THOSE PRICES!!!

Sentiment now positive for gold – “There’s a sea-change underway in investor attitudes towards gold and silver. Markets now see growing risk to the dollar as a consequence of oil supply disruption. When America first attacked Iran on 28 February, gold and silver prices declined: gold from $5320 and silver from $93. Admittedly, both were vulnerable to a severe bout of bull market indigestion which was hardly propitious. But the suggestion of deferred interest rate deductions appeared to work against precious metal prices. Meanwhile, the equity and other bubbles continued to be inflated by free-flowing credit. Just about the only sensible arguments as to why this was the case veers towards conspiracies: bullion banks using febrile investor psychology that they should liquidate their positions before they lose even more. Sentiment became about as negative as it could get, with open interest on Comex falling to exceptionally low levels. It is a fact that while speculators in both west and east have been forced out of paper gold and silver, China and allied partners have been accumulating physical.” – Alasdair Macleod – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM ALASDAIR ON THE METALS MARKET!!!

Retail sales slump as consumer spending falters – “Retail sales, which serve as a critical indicator of consumer spending and overall economic health, fell by 0.6%. This decline is notably below the forecasted growth of 0.1% and marks a deterioration from the previous month’s increase of 0.2%. The drop in retail sales highlights a potential cooling in consumer spending, a key driver of the U.S. economy.” – Investing.com

How To Save Seeds From Your Garden: A Beginner’s Guide – Homesteaders of America  – HAVE LINKED SIMILAR IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS A VERY GOOD GUIDE!!

Bugging Out to the National Forest Is a Good Way to Die Slowly – “Somewhere in your house there is probably a backpack packed with a ferro rod, folding saw, tarp, water filter, snare wire, first-aid kit and several days of food. The idea behind it is simple: when everything falls apart, you load the family into the truck, drive until the road ends, shoulder the bag and disappear into the national forest. Once you are out there, you will build a shelter, collect water, forage for plants, trap small game and hunt deer. You will avoid the crowds, live off the land and wait for civilization to settle down. It sounds good because the person imagining it is always healthy, well-rested and standing in a climate-controlled house with a full stomach. The forest in that fantasy is empty, the weather is manageable, the animals are everywhere and nobody else had the same idea.” – OFFGRID Survival

The Super-Healing-Root Growing Right Behind Your Compost Pile – “There’s a plant most folks yank out, curse under their breath, and heave onto the burn pile without a second thought. Yet if you’ve got a compost heap steaming behind the barn or a patch of rich, disturbed soil near the garden fence, there’s a fair chance it’s already growing wild and free just a few steps away. That plant is burdock. And once you get to know what’s hiding beneath those enormous leaves, you may never look at an ordinary “weed” quite the same way again.’ – Bill Heid
