Why the ‘Green Economy’ Is Suddenly in Retreat—in EU, US, and on Wall Street Meanwhile, in the US, where nuclear power has been steadily attacked for decades by politicians and environmentalists, the Senate quietly passed (by a vote of 80–2!) a bill to support the deployment of nuclear facilities.
   These anecdotes illustrate an important point: Green policies are not just unpopular and uneconomical; they are often senseless.

Facebook Acknowledges It 'Mistakenly' Censored Iconic Trump Assassination Photo 
Meanwhile, Google is in hot water after some users noted the "autocomplete" function in its searches curiously doesn't generate any results for the Trump assassination.

Secret Service agent reveals the edifice of incompetency and stupidity that permeates the entire federal government   In a sense, the failure of the Secret Service on July 13th is a great opportunity to force change. There can be no excuse for it allowing an assassin to fire off shots that wounded three (including a presidential candidate) and killed one. If this time Congress allows that agency to walk away unscathed — as it has allowed the FBI, CIA, ATF and numerous other agencies to walk unscathed for the past decade — then there will be no hope. We shall see this new praetorian guard grab power, brutally and without mercy.

Pope Francis silent on Olympic opening while scandal-plagued Vatican archbishop defends it  The only other statement from a Vatican official in any capacity regarding the Olympic’s opening ceremony is that from Archbishop Charles Scicluna. The Maltese prelate is adjunct secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and sent a message to the French ambassador of Malta, noting his “distress and great disappointment at the insult to us Christians.” 
   The French bishops’ conference was joined by numerous U.S. bishops and others in condemning the Olympics opening ceremony, some considerably more vigorously than others. Image

Invasion of Young Male Migrants Sparks Sexual Assault and Violence Crisis: German Women Pay the Heaviest Price The influx of young, single men through asylum migration since 2015 has led to a significant number of sexual crimes against women in Germany. The overrepresentation of asylum migrants in these crimes, despite their small population proportion, highlights the need for policy changes. The CDU and AfD are vocal in their calls for stricter immigration controls and deportations, while the Greens remain silent on the issue. The Federal Ministry of the Interior and law enforcement officials emphasize the need for rigorous legal action to protect women and ensure public safety.

“And I will make mere lads their princes,

And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

'True Conspiracy': Gender Activists' Entire Pro-Tranny Litigation Strategy Looks Like It's Starting to Crumble “At the most fundamental level, medical professionals owe a duty of care to their patients,” Payne told the DCNF. “The recently unsealed documents show that members of the healthcare community knew, or should have known, that the drugs and procedures they were prescribing were not supported by sufficient evidence. Failing to disclose that lack of evidence to patients, and prescribing those drugs and procedures anyway, is a breach of the duty of care owed to patients.”

'God is not mocked': Blasphemous depiction of Last Supper at Olympic ceremony sparks outrage Catholics and prominent public figures are rebuking the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for featuring drag queens and demonic-looking figures that carried out a grotesque parody of the Last Supper. Image

Olympic chiefs 'sorry' opening ceremony caused offence  A banquet sequence featuring drag artists in particular came in for criticism from Christian groups, who felt it parodied Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'.

Olympics’ Last Supper debacle was latest effort to denigrate Western culture  Why was it designed to stink? Again, power. A friend pointed out that the only good recent Olympic opening ceremonies were in Sochi, Russia, and in Beijing. Those governments, whatever their many flaws, wanted to present a positive message about their nations and their cultures to the world. They wanted to portray themselves as rising powers, full of cultural vigor.

Ceremonies like the Paris opener, on the other hand, are intended to do just the opposite. They are intended to mock and denigrate the underlying Western culture, which even atheists like Richard Dawkins admit is Christian. This, we’re told, is “brave.”  Or they pretend surprise that anyone is offended, but as the French say, “ils sont toujours au courant,” meaning “they’re always aware.”

And, as we all know, they’d never mock Islam in a spirit of “inclusion.” There will be no blue-painted obese Prophet Muhammads. Partly that’s out of fear – unlike Christians, Muslims tend to respond to mockery with violence aimed at the mockers – and partly it comes from the belief that mocking non-Western culture is somehow racist.

Germany: Unredacted covid protocols reveal scientists were called on to provide an illusory science that politics could pretend to follow  The role of RKI epidemiologists and virus prophets like Drosten was merely to provide a pandemic fiction that would justify whatever it was the politicians already wanted to do. Along the way, they did untold and unforgivable damage to our society and to many millions of innocent people.

The CrowdStrike Global Outage Shows the Serious Dangers Of A Centralized, Digitized World     The perils of over-reliance on digital systems have been once again highlighted by the crashing of computer systems around the world due to an update to the Falcon antivirus and security product from CrowdStrike affecting its interaction with Windows operating systems. The update has caused chaos for banking, retail, railways, airports, healthcare and for a wide range of other businesses and infrastructure where the Falcon software runs on Windows systems. Advice for bringing affected computers back into working order has been published but the exact mechanism by which the update caused “Blue Screen of Death” errors does not appear to have yet been reported.

Flights grounded and travelers stranded — including at JFK and LaGuardia — after tech outage cripples banks and other companies around the globe  A failed tech update grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off the air across the world early Friday — with travelers at JFK and LaGuardia airports among those left stranded by the unprecedented and wide-scale internet disruption.
   The global crisis was triggered when US cybersecurity company CrowdStrike deployed a faulty software update to computers running Microsoft Windows overnight, crashing them and leaving the ominous so-called “blue screen of death.”
   “I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history,” tech expert Troy Hunt, an Australian Microsoft regional manager, tweeted early in the chaos.

On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit issued an emergency administrative stay, which blocks the Biden administration from implementing or acting on the plan until a ruling is made on an injunction pending appeal, according to court records.

The hate that has come crashing down on JD Vance in the wake of his selection is undeniable. The elite cast him out, just as it cast Donald Trump out, for the crime of not bending the knee. Perhaps you can become part of the elite if you give up your self-respect, but the American Dream isn’t about debasing yourself. It’s about earning what’s yours while remaining true to yourself. And as the elites deny JD Vance what he has earned because he thinks for himself, those working-class men and women who will make the difference in the Rustbelt will be watching, and they will be voting.

Google Buries Trump Site Even in Thick of Republican Nat’l Convention  As the Republican National Convention kicked off Monday, Google is continuing to bury former President Donald Trump’s campaign website while propping up his opponents.

     Researchers conducted three separate searches for the top three candidate’s names along with the words “presidential race 2024.”  While the results for Trump brought up seemingly endless 2024 election updates, including news articles, polls and commentaries, the search engine did not display the candidate’s campaign website. 
     Google, however, had no issues displaying Joe Biden’s campaign website as the first result in an equivalent search. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s website appeared as the fourth result in a similar search.

The Republic Is Asleep...The civic ignorance of American young people is vast, but the tide may be turning.   For example, 60% of college students could not correctly identify the term lengths of members serving in U.S. Congress, and 63% were unable to identify the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Importantly, these were multiple-choice questions. Hence, students didn’t have to recall John Roberts’ name, only recognize it. The same is true for the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, whose name was only known to 35% of students. More than two-thirds didn’t know that impeachment trials occur before the Senate. A majority of students believe that the Constitution was written in 1776 rather than 1787.

But the damage was long done.  The message was communicated to parents — that they could have the FBI showing up at their doorstep if they rightfully voiced their concerns about what their children are exposed to in school.  Also, to militant leftist, woke, and LGBTQ+ groups — they had the administration’s support.  Ironically, these are groups that have demonstrated a capacity for the sort of violence feared by parents.
      As the House Judicial Committee report concluded, the coordinated actions were “all about intimidation” — weaponizing the government to go after political opponents, in this case, parents, and secure their silence. Jordan calls the “dedicated line of threat reporting” set up by Garland a “snitch line on parents.”  In a follow-up letter to Garland, committee members wrote that the NSBA letter to the White House “strengthens our concerns that the Biden administration is chilling protected First Amendment activity.”

Ain’t That America? The rise of hillbilly J.D. Vance from poverty to the precipice of power  -Rod Dreher J.D. Vance is a brilliant man, make no mistake, but more than that, he knows who he is, and what America is. He is bold and different, not an echo of dull Republican Party regulars. J.D. is a true believer—and he is a fighter. Donald Trump rose off his symbolic deathbed on Saturday, stood tall, blood streaming down his face, and pumped his fist in the air, urging his followers to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”—and now he has chosen a wingman who can brawl with the best of them.
   Above it all, J.D. Vance, who would be the first Millennial vice president, represents the future of American conservatism. By naming J.D. Vance as his running mate, Donald Trump has given the American Right a dynamic future—one that is more in tune with the plain people than with Republican Party patricians.

Based on Mr. Vance’s published works and interviews, here are 39 things to know about the Ohio Republican who is set to share a ticket with the former president.

Priest at RNC gives Donald Trump impression before leading prayer

The consequences of significant events can never be determined in their immediate aftermath. History takes time to play out, so to guess at this moment the real aftermath of the attempt to kill Donald Trump this weekend at a Pennsylvania rally is probably foolish and premature.

Nonetheless, I am going to try, because in the past two days I think I begin to see the clouds breaking and a trend appearing. And most amazingly, I think the trends are all positive, in a way that might save this country in ways no one expects.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he was ordered by President Joe Biden to give the independent presidential candidate the Secret Service protection he has requested.
   "In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Mayorkas announced during a White House press briefing, per Newsweek.
   It comes after Trump said on Monday that independent presidential candidate Kennedy should have Secret Service protection immediately.

After decades of gaslighting the public, a new study admits that vaccine safety studies are not conducted before or after use on the public   For decades, parents of vaccine-injured children, vaccine-injured adults and others contested the claims that vaccines are the world’s most thoroughly safety-tested products in the world only to be shunned and attacked by the medical community and health agencies.

Now a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in the first week of July admits vaccines are not properly studied.

The new reforms must ensure that entry into, and advancement within, the healthcare professions recognize that, while the facility in the STEM subjects is necessary, it is far from sufficient to prevent the disaster of the past four years. Critical thinking, courage, ethics, and moral responsibility must be valued just as highly. Formal training in leadership must also be instituted. Healthcare professionals must see themselves as leaders of patients and not mere treaters of disease. This is far too much to be compressed into the 4 years of professional school and must be started early, preferably in secondary or even middle school.

Trump announces Ohio Sen JD Vance as his 2024 running mate With an eye toward the future of a Republican Party dominated by former President Trump and his legions of MAGA supporters, Trump has named 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the GOP'S 2024 national ticket.

The former president, who made his greatly anticipated and high-stakes announcement on Monday as the Republican National Convention kicked off in swing-state Wisconsin's largest city, will now share the ticket with one of his top supporters in the Senate and a one-time Trump critic who has transformed into a leading America First disciple.

"After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump announced on his Truth Social platform.

Trump Under Fire Shows Us What Leadership Looks Like  Trump has exhibited resilience and toughness in the face of the lawfare waged against him, but his surviving this assassination attempt was a defining moment, and I believe he has met it. Compared to the past four years of Joe Biden's cognitive issues, confusion, gaslighting, and adversarial attacks on American citizens and institutions, it could not be more clear who is fit to lead, and he is not the one.

America Was Less Than An Inch Away From Socio-Political Disaster  Regardless of whatever happens, America just got a reality check about how close it is to descending into chaos, which shows how much it’s changed for the worse since 2016. Partisan radicalization and elite scheming have always been around, but they reached an unprecedented level after Trump became the Republican Nominee back then. He’s an imperfect candidate with a lot of personal flaws, but his re-election is the last chance to save America from itself if he succeeds in implementing his lofty plans.

SICK: Unhinged Leftists Angry That Trump Survived Assassination Attempt  This is the kind of evil that exists out there. These people are unafraid of expressing their wish that Trump had been killed. How many more knew better than to post such things on social media?


There Can Be No Unity With The Violent Democrat-Media Industrial Complex   But it’s not just assassination prep rhetoric. Consider a bill recently proposed by the former head of the Jan. 6 Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., to strip Trump of Secret Service protection. To most people, that looks like a deliberate attempt to make it as likely as possible that something like Saturday’s attack on Trump’s life would happen — and succeed.

That’s why Democrat calls for unity and calm ring hollow now. They don’t want unity and calm, they want violence. They wanted it in 2020 and they want it today. It doesn’t matter what they say now that violence has come. It matters what they said in the lead-up to it.

The greatest absurdity of the Biden White House is the gaslighting talk of Biden’s “achievements.” Biden’s actions over the last four years are not offsets for his senility that warrant his continuance in office, but again, sadly, they serve as force multipliers, furthering claims of his dementia and for his removal.

We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin."

As for the Bad Orange Man himself, he further swelled his own legend when the potentially deadly moment arrived.

BREAKING: Former President Trump was just shot at his Pennslyvania rally...

In PA, an assassination attempt against President Trump It says a great deal about Trump that he had the presence of mind, the courage, and the empathy to pump his fist in the air, assuring the worried crowd—and watching videos who were equally horrified by what they had just witnessed—that he was (seemingly) all right in what will surely be one of modern America’s most iconic political images

Then one day, Soviet propagandists announced suddenly but matter-of-factly that the dynamic Brezhnev had died and that his successor, Yuri Andropov, was now brilliantly running the Soviet Union.
   Biden, too, is at that point of stasis. He cannot do press conferences, town halls, debates, or real interviews. To do so would confirm to the public the truth: that Biden is too cognitively challenged to continue his presidency.
   And yet the cloistered Biden can no longer hide during a campaign season with his accustomed three-day workweek.
   The media has done its best to continue its Orwellian ruse.

---------------------------

Regarding Biden’s conduct, if you were willing to put up with Biden before the infamous debate at the end of June, you should still be willing to put up with Biden. He’s not functioning well, but he’s still functioning and can probably adequately mimic a candidate for the next four months. After all, we all confuse names (e.g., Putin v. Zelenskyy, Trump v. Harris, Afghanistan v. Israel). Standing alone that’s not enough to axe a candidate.
   What really matters to America’s continued constitutional viability is that many of the Democrat faithful aren’t even bothering to pretend that they are voting for a constitutional president. Instead, they are voting for a Soviet-style commissariat, which sees a figurehead president and a cabal of high-level but mostly faceless bureaucrats presiding over the nation.

I have been pounding the drum on what I think is the most important thing to focus on right now, and it's not the decline of the president. Everybody knows that, can see it, and it is baked into the cake. What conservatives need to do is open everybody's eyes to the real villains in this story, and that is the mainstream media.

If we do not stop killing children on an industrial scale, we are not going to have a country.
I wish that I could get more people to understand this. Unfortunately, our neighbor to the north has even less respect for life.
In fact, the number of medically-assisted suicides in Canada is absolutely exploding…

Army Base Axes Use Of Briefing Materials Labeling Pro-Life Organizations As ‘Terrorist Groups’    “Keep in mind they’re not labeling [pro-life groups] as extremist organizations (which would still be crazy), but as terrorist organizations,” Shoeman wrote. “The military and Dept of Defense are insanely out of control. Service-members are being indoctrinated to view Pro-Life groups as the enemy.”

During the State Department’s LGBT pride event, Blinken boasted that the Biden administration has imposed economic and visa sanctions against countries and foreign politicians that do not support homosexual/transgender issues. He acknowledged that some recent laws against LGBT advocacy and conduct were new laws in reaction to Western pressure on these issues. Blinken promised not to back down. In the case of Uganda, Blinken described how the Biden administration is trying to influence social and policy changes by funding pro-LGBT non-governmental organizations on the ground while the country is under a U.S-imposed economic embargo.
    Blinken also claimed that the new interpretation of the treaty was necessary to promote homosexual/transgender issues within the United States. “Upholding these rights is crucial to safeguarding and accelerating our renewal at home.  Our ability to stand up for human rights and democracy internationally is also tied directly to whether we’re strong on these fronts here in our own country,” he said.

Pentagon Schools Encouraged Students To Be Left-Wing Activists, Pushed DEI On Kids And Teachers, Docs Show   “These military service members are deployed abroad to defend and embody American ideals on the world stage,” Open The Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski told the DCNF. “Yet their children are being indoctrinated to a philosophy that places complex racial and gender identities over national pride. In fact, pushing students toward activism and teaching them that their relative privilege dictates their life experience can actually alienate them from the American dream.”

Report: Globe’s Largest Companies Colluded In ‘Likely’ Antitrust Violation To Censor Conservatives   “GARM and its members weaponize their power to influence elections … through pressuring platforms to label content as misinformation,” the report notes.
   Republican investigators said that GARM’s “collusive conduct to demonetize disfavored content is alarming.

ver the past few weeks, several stories have come out demonstrating yet again that electric vehicles (EV) are unsafe, unwanted, and downright hazardous.

Of course, the EV charger-sparked fire that destroyed the Cobbs’ home is far from the first this has happened. Over the past few years, similar incidents have occurred throughout the country. Sadly, scores have died from these nightmares. And, in all likelihood, more will.
   As they say, you only have one chance to make a first impression. And, based on Americans’ reluctance to purchase EVs, I think it’s safe to say at this point that the EV rollout has been a disaster so far.

The Ninth Circuit shoots down COVID vaccine...it was never a “traditional vaccine” and therefore could not legally be mandated   In its final ruling, the court decided “At this stage, we must accept Plaintiffs’ allegations that the vaccine does not prevent the spread of COVID-19 as true…

The ‘modest’ conclusion is that there is no evidence that the vaccines saved any lives! To the contrary: the vaccines cost lives. In summary it completely supports that excess deaths correlate with vaccine doses and nothing else. This really needs highlighting as this is another proof in a long line of now retracted papers.
