Trump Eyes Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Site Heavy Strikes: “Iran Hasn’t Seen Anything Yet, We’ve Been Nice”
President Trump issued a series of big claims to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. For starters he asserted that Iran wants to “desperately” meet but said “we” have no interest, and that the US military is not finished at all with Iran, and so there’s no interest in talking at the moment.

“Demand Remains Strong”: GM Beats Expectations, Lifts Guidance For Second Time
GM beat Wall Street’s second-quarter expectations on Tuesday, posting adjusted earnings of $3.57 per share on $48.03 billion in revenue as profitability improved despite softer vehicle sales. Adjusted EBIT reached $3.94 billion, up from $3.0 billion a year earlier, helped by lower tariff-related costs and stronger operating performance,

We’re Admittedly Terrified That They’ve Now Invented Invisible Drones
We can think of no possible way that a newly invented invisible drone can be used nefariously. Rather than relying on camouflage, the flying gizmo created by researchers at Northwestern University exploits the motion blur effect in our fallible human vision to almost disappear by spinning at an absurd 25 times per second. This is too quick for us and many animals to see clearly, becoming a gossamer smear that blends into the background, like the way the blades of a helicopter do, only more extreme.

Military Voter Files Exposed Our Troops’ Locations to America’s Adversaries 
President Donald Trump revealed that Chinese entities obtained U.S. voter registration files, including data on military members serving overseas, creating heightened security risks, especially in instances of covert operational locations. Voter files, maintained by states, are largely public or semi-public, containing names, addresses, party affiliations where tracked and voting histories. They are used for elections, campaigns and research but are not classified information. However, the voter files obtained by China contained more sensitive information like dates of birth. Access allows correlation with other data sources to build dossiers on service members and families, adding to espionage recruitment, blackmail or harassment

Trump Reaches For A 1930 Tariff Law To Hit Canada With 50% Duties – But Not On These Items
President Donald Trump signed three proclamations Monday imposing an additional 50 percent tariff on a broad list of Canadian goods, accusing Canada of discriminating against American dairy, alcohol, and auto exports. The White House said the president was acting to hold Canada accountable for what it called “continued discrimination” against U.S. commerce,

The Democrats’ Financial Situation Appears To Be Worse Than Previously Known
The Democratic Party’s money problems have been an open secret for months. Federal Election Commission filings from around six months ago showed the Democratic National Committee entering the final stretch of last year with barely $12 million in its campaign account and nearly $16 million in debt, most of it stemming from a loan the committee took out the previous month. Donations had slumped just as the party needed them most. DNC officials required senior leadership to sign non-disclosure agreements before a private meeting on the party’s finances, a departure from the committee’s usual practice.

Kidnapping Is Not A ‘Violent Felony’: Appeals Court Voids Two More Whitmer Plot Convictions
A Michigan Court of Appeals panel on July 20 vacated the convictions of Pete Musico and Paul Bellar, two men a jury found guilty in 2022 of providing material support for an act of terrorism over their connection to the alleged 2020 plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The reason? Michigan’s Anti-Terrorism Act defines an act of terrorism as conduct that would constitute a violent felony under state law. Kidnapping, the judges held, is not a violent felony as that term is defined. So kidnapping cannot serve as the predicate act for a material-support conviction – no matter what the defendants did or intended.

Border Patrol Records 14 Straight Months Of Zero Releases At Southern Border
The U.S. Border Patrol released zero illegal immigrants into the United States from the southern border for the 14th consecutive month in June. Border enforcement is at “historic levels,” and illegal crossings last month remained significantly low, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a July 16 statement. Border Patrol apprehended 9,848 people at the southwest border last month, 94 percent lower than the monthly average under the previous administration. It was also lower than the number of people “apprehended in 4 days” in June 2024.

Pres. Aoun’s White House gamble: Convincing Trump Lebanon can rein in Hezbollah 
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun isn’t traveling to the White House simply for another diplomatic meeting this week. He’s coming for what may be the biggest opportunity Lebanon has had in years. This should be interesting. When Aoun sits down with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, he’ll be looking for something no Lebanese leader has been able to secure for decades: a pathway toward Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Of course, to accomplish that, Aoun will need to deliver – and that means figuring out how to roll back and ultimately neuter Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terror group operating in the southern part of his country.

Italian online form to ‘map Zionist tourism’ draws comparison to fascist-era persecution of Jews 
An anonymous online form urging Italians to report the presence of Jewish and Israeli tourists has sparked outrage in Italy, with Jewish leaders comparing it to the persecution of Jews during the Fascist era and warning it reflects a growing climate of antisemitism. The form, which began circulating online in Milan, claimed its purpose was to “map Zionist tourism” in Italy.

Iran moved nuclear centrifuges to ‘Pickaxe Mountain,’ intel reveals as US carries out 10th round of strikes 
Israeli intelligence assessed that Iran moved thousands of nuclear centrifuges to tunnels deep inside the “Pickaxe Mountain” site near Natanz in an attempt to protect them from aerial strikes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, as U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets entered the 10th night in a row.
Iran’s development of the Pickaxe Mountain site has long attracted attention from the intelligence community, as it was believed to be related to Iran’s nuclear weapons

Iran closes tomb of Mordechai and Esther, citing renovations. Sources say security threats are the real reason.
The Jewish Association of Tehran issued an unusual public notice this week, instructing every Jew in Iran to stay away from Hamadan, the city Persian tradition holds to be the biblical Shushan itself. The notice named a single cause: ongoing repairs at the tomb complex believed to hold the remains of Mordechai and Esther. Sources familiar with the situation tell a different story, one involving threats from extremist elements inside Iran serious enough that the community has suspended a coordination process it maintained for years.

Iranian official meets mediators in Pakistan as Iran and US keep up a 10th day of attacks

Trump: ‘A lot more countries will join the Abraham Accords soon’
U.S. President Donald Trump met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House on Tuesday evening, saying during the meeting that relations between the United States and Lebanon are continuing to improve. “We’re gonna help [Lebanon] a lot,” Trump said.

‘If Iran attacks, we’ll go all in’: Israel braces for possible entry into war
Israeli officials increasingly believe U.S. President Donald Trump could escalate military action against Iran, citing his threat to strike the secretive Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, the expanding U.S. military deployment in the region and the arrival of additional aerial refueling aircraft. Those developments, officials say, have increased the likelihood that fighting will resume and that Israel could eventually become involved.

Trump’s Steel Renaissance Powers America’s Manufacturing Comeback 
Brandon Farris, executive vice president of the Steel Manufacturers Association, recently called the tariffs “the most pro-manufacturing executive action in a generation.” He pointed to more than $25 billion in domestic steel investment, capacity utilization above the industry’s critical 80 percent threshold, and steel imports falling by nearly 30 percent. The United States has also overtaken Japan to become the world’s third-largest steel producer for the first time in 25 years. Those gains occurred as a direct result of Trump’s tariffs.

The Danger Of Reshaping Christianity To Fit Culture: An Evangelical Pastor’s Open Letter To James Talarico
Mullen’s letter addresses fundamental problems with the way Talarico and others interpret Scripture, and he calls Talarico and all of us to come under the authority of God’s Word instead of redefining it to fit our wishes: When theological claims are presented in the Name of Christ, people naturally assume they are hearing Biblical truth. My concern is that some of the positions you advocate may lead sincere people away from the clear teaching of Scripture and toward a version of Christianity that reflects the spirit of the age more than the Word of God.

There’s a Lot of Speculation That Bombing of Pickaxe Mountain Will Occur Soon; What Happens After That Could Change Everything
Iran has warned President Trump not to touch Pickaxe Mtn. Nobody outside has seen what goes on inside it, and Iran is determined to keep it secret. The facility is so far underground, it would be difficult for advanced bunker-buster bombs to damage it. But now Trump says we will bomb Pickaxe Mtn. “probably pretty soon.”

Goldman Sachs Warns Oil Could Soon Hit $120 as the “Crack Spread” Soars to New All-Time Highs
Unless we witness a miracle, gas prices will soon rise into unprecedented territory.

Abdul El-Sayed’s Anti-ICE ‘Queer Muslim Activist’ Half-Sister is a DSAer and has Called for a ‘Stateless, Communized Society’
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s half-sister Eman Abdelhadi is a raving Chicago DSAer who wants a “stateless, communized society.” She hates the police and ICE and protests for every radical leftist cause. She is a “queer Muslim activist” and a rabid antisemite to boot.

Democrats, DSAers, Muslims, and Communists take Part in Progressive Call that Brands America as a ‘Disgusting’ Fascist Regime

UK’s Net Zero costs are soaring out of control
UK electricity grid expansion for Clean Power 2030 is in chaos: exploding costs and projects massively delayed. Sources indicate these ambitious plans won’t be achieved. This means they won’t spend all money earmarked for grid expansion, which should mean our bills don’t go up as much as feared. But costs of this work are out of control.

When the State Sides with the Invaders: Europe’s Vigilante Awakening
Two recent videos from Europe capture a rapidly escalating pattern: native citizens are taking to the streets to protect their children and communities precisely because the state has repeatedly failed to do so and, in many cases, has actively criminalized the victims while shielding the perpetrators.

NASA Warns Scientists Understating Worst-Case Solar-Storm Scenario
As if the growing risk of a global economic disaster springing from the US-Israeli war on Iran weren’t enough to worry about, researchers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center are warning that miscalculations and false assumptions may have resulted in an enormous underestimation of the worst-case effects of a solar storm. Critically the prevailing theory about “solar weather” posits that there’s a limit to just how much energy can be injected into Earth’s polar ionosphere. Alarmingly, NASA scientists are now saying there may be no such limit to the destructive energy that could rain down on the world. They derive that suspicion from more than a million data points where solar wind was gauged by NASA craft in Earth orbit.

Jordan says it shot down three Iranian missiles over its airspace

EU to accept US forced labour levies if Trump honours 15% cap 
The European Commission will accept new US tariffs on goods allegedly produced using forced labour, provided Washington respects its pledge to cap duties on EU exports at 15%. The news comes as Donald Trump’s administration scrambles to reimpose so-called ‘reciprocal’ duties struck down by the US Supreme Court in February, including a 15% levy on most EU exports to the US. A stopgap 10% duty introduced by the US president following the court ruling is set to expire on Friday.

Researchers Have Created a 3D Thermal Cloak That Renders Objects Invisible to Heat
A three-dimensional thermal cloak that can conceal objects from heat, while also shielding them from extreme temperatures, has been developed by researchers in a breakthrough with significant potential for quantum electronics and military stealth technologies. The breakthrough, … differs from past thermal cloaks that only function in two dimensions, or in a single direction. The team’s new device is capable of guiding heat around an object, regardless of the origin point of the heat source. When used with an infrared camera, the cloaked object effectively disappears,

US accuses Cuba of infiltrating highest levels of government
Cuba has infiltrated the United States for decades in a spy operation that has extended all the way up to the government, the US State Department claims. Cuba has “infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government, recruited and supported generations of American activists, and an unprecedented wave of left-wing terrorism on American soil,” a report said. The report is part of the heightened tensions between the United States and Cuba, although it has long been known that both countries have spied on each other.

Who or what is the Council of 33?
Gary Wayne wrote: “Below the thirteen families is their representative Council of Thirty-Three, The Great Druid Council, followed by the Committee of 300 consisting of Illuminated Freemasons.”
From the book ‘The Genesis 6 Conspiracy’, we gather that the order of the global oligarchs’ secretive hierarchy is (from higher to lower levels): 1. 13 Families 2. Council of 33 3. Council of 13 (The Great Druid Council) 4. Committee of 300 5. Illuminati (Illuminated Freemasons) 6. Freemasonry. The religion that the members of all these secret societies follow indoctrinates them with the belief that, through attaining knowledge, through “enlightenment” or “illumination” as they refer to it, a person can become a god. All these seemingly different Gnostic religions and cults are in fact one, and they all serve one master: satan.

Climate Activists Pelt Microsoft Data Center With Balloons Full of Acid

Trump Orders Review Related To Climate Guidance For Federal Judges
President Donald Trump has ordered federal officials to review conduct related to climate guidance included in a scientific reference manual for federal judges, which he described as politically biased and based on discredited science. “Our Nation’s Federal Judges deserve Facts and Science, not Political Fraud and False Science on Climate,” Trump wrote. “Our Taxpayers should not be funding Climate Fraud, and Judges should never have relied upon it.”

U.S. Central Command said on social media that the latest strikes “are designed to further degrade Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial shipping” in the strait.

ISRAEL NEXT? Iranian Leadership Reportedly Divided Over Whether To Attack Israel
Senior Israeli security officials believe Iran’s leadership is deeply divided over whether to bring Israel into the current conflict, as an apparent power vacuum at the top of the regime complicates Tehran’s decision-making. According to Israeli security assessments, the reported disappearance of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei from public view has left Iran without clear leadership during a critical phase of the conflict. Officials say his absence has significantly weakened his influence over real-time military and political decisions.

Iran’s war on the Arabs: Time for the Gulf to stand with Israel
For decades, governments of many Arab states have viewed Iran’s aggression primarily through the prism of its conflict with Israel. That illusion has now been shattered. Over the past week, the Iranian regime has demonstrated once again that its ambitions extend far beyond destroying Israel. Tehran has launched an unprecedented campaign of missile and drone attacks against several Arab states, targeting critical infrastructure, ships, airports, oil facilities, power stations, desalination plants, ports, and even residential neighborhoods.

Utah Mall Stabbing: Media Ignores Violent Criminal History of Suspect While Pushing ‘Hate Crime’ Narrative
On July 14, Peter M. Larsen was arrested after stabbing a Muslim kiosk worker multiple times at a mall.

43 Days and Counting: Apathetic Americans Are About to Be Blindsided by a Major League Wake-Up Call
I don’t understand the tremendous apathy I am witnessing. Everyone can see commercial oil inventories are rapidly being depleted.
