Given 2A, “shall not be infringed” this is totally a ridiculous issue.

Crossing a State Line Shouldn’t Cost You Your Right to Self-Defense

The right of self-defense shouldn’t stop at the border, especially for Americans who have already proven themselves to be law-abiding.

Imagine a woman driving across state lines alone at night, fearful that her car might break down and leave her vulnerable. Or picture a truck driver hauling valuable cargo across the country. In states such as California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Oregon—five of the ten states that refuse to recognize concealed handgun permits from other states—these travelers can find themselves defenseless. Nine states also either deny non-residents permits altogether or make them extremely difficult to obtain.

Last week, President Trump again called for passage of national concealed carry reciprocity. The legislation would allow anyone legally permitted to carry a concealed handgun in their home state to carry across state lines, much as Americans use their driver’s licenses nationwide. The legislation would affect millions of law-abiding Americans.

Much of the gun-control debate centers on hypothetical risks. With reciprocity, however, we don’t have to speculate. With 21.5 million concealed handgun permit holders in the United States, we already know how they behave. In addition, most Americans already benefit from reciprocity. The average state recognizes permits from 30 other states, allowing permit holders to travel legally with their firearms.

Last year, when the House Judiciary Committee passed national reciprocity along party lines, Democrats also opposed legislation that would allow current and retired law enforcement officers with at least ten years of service to carry firearms in facilities open to the public—including schools—while traveling across the country. Given their fear that allowing experienced current or retired law enforcement officers to carry would endanger public safety, it comes as no surprise that they also oppose allowing civilians to carry across state lines.

Congressional opponents of reciprocity warned that permit holders would commit crimes but cited no evidence to support that claim. The facts point in the opposite direction. Concealed handgun permit holders are extraordinarily law-abiding. States revoke their permits for firearm-related violations at rates measured in thousandths—or even ten-thousandths—of one percent. Police officers rarely commit firearm crimes, yet permit holders lose their permits for firearm offenses at only about one-twelfth the rate at which police are convicted of firearm-related crimes.

“This legislation is a dramatic infringement on states’ rights,” claimed Emma Brown, executive director of the gun-control group Giffords, echoing a common criticism. Yet those same organizations routinely advocate federal gun-control laws that override state policy choices.

Opponents also claimed that national reciprocity would confuse travelers about which gun laws apply in each state and lead to more arrests. But reciprocity already exists across much of the country, and no evidence shows that out-of-state permit holders create such problems. Indeed, the same situation exists for drivers when they cross state lines: They are required to follow the driving regulations for the state they are in.

Critics also argue that permit standards vary from state to state. Yet no evidence shows that states with less restrictive permitting systems experience higher permit revocation rates.

Despite these fears, more than 86 percent of police chiefs and sheriffs support national reciprocity, and over 90 percent of rank-and-file officers support concealed carry laws. These officers see firsthand how concealed carry works in practice. They understand that police deter crime, but they also know they usually arrive after the crime has begun. Victims often must defend themselves first. Consistent with that experience, the overwhelming weight of academic research finds that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns reduces crime.

With tens of millions of Americans legally carrying concealed handguns over many decades, if opponents could identify even dozens of cases in which out-of-state permit holders created serious problems, their concerns would deserve careful consideration. They cannot. Such cases remain exceedingly rare. Americans do not need to guess whether gun-control advocates’ concerns are justified.

Carrying a firearm provides the greatest benefit to those who face the largest physical disadvantages—women and the elderly—and to those who face the highest risk of violent crime, including many poor black residents of high-crime neighborhoods. Not surprisingly, these groups have accounted for the largest percentage growth in permit ownership over the past decade. Between 2015 and 2024, permits held by women grew 112 percent faster than those held by men, while permits held by black Americans grew 284 percent faster than those held by whites.

Real life is not the movies. Most women cannot overpower several larger, stronger men, no matter how well-trained they are. Men also generally possess greater upper-body strength and speed.

A firearm changes that equation. It gives women a far more effective means of self-defense. If an attacker has already closed the distance enough to seize a woman’s firearm, she is already in grave danger regardless.

Peer-reviewed research finds that allowing concealed carry reduces murder rates for both men and women. The reduction for women, however, is roughly three to four times larger than the reduction for men.

The House will likely pass national reciprocity, but it faces a steeper challenge in the Senate. Breaking the expected Democratic filibuster will require 60 votes, meaning at least seven Democratic senators must cross party lines. Those senators need only examine their own states’ experience. Six states represented by 12 Democratic senators—Arizona, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Virginia—already recognize concealed handgun permits from every other state. None has seen a problem with reciprocity.

Police play an indispensable role in public safety. But around 700,000 officers cannot protect over 340 million Americans everywhere at once. Congress should ensure that law-abiding Americans do not lose their ability to defend themselves simply by crossing a state line.

RFK Jr. Plans To Create A List Of Injuries Caused By COVID-19 Vaccines

Health officials are proposing a plan to clarify which COVID-19 vaccine side effects would be eligible for government financial compensation, according to a new notice.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and one of its divisions said in a description of a proposed rule released on July 1 that they plan to establish an injury table for COVID-19 vaccines through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

“The Table will list and explain injuries that, based on compelling, reliable, valid, medical, and scientific evidence, are presumed to be caused by covered COVID-19 countermeasures, and set forth the time periods in which the onset of these injuries must occur after the administration or use of these covered COVID-19 countermeasures,” a summary of the rule, which has not been made public, stated.

COVID-19 vaccines fall under the CICP because previous health secretaries declared and extended emergency declarations for COVID-19, which opened up the option of emergency clearance of vaccines and other countermeasures under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who just announced that he was ending the emergency declaration, is authorized under the declarations to provide benefits to people injured by the vaccines under the act, HHS officials noted in the proposal summary.

“Under the leadership of Secretary Kennedy, HHS is restoring transparency and accountability because the American people deserve clear, evidence-based information about both the benefits and the known risks associated with medical countermeasures,” an HHS spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

The spokesperson said that more information will be available when the notice is published in the Federal Register.

The article continues with some expressing skepticism about this proposal.

Hope he has great success in this endeavor.

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh Announces “Concerning” Leadership Task Force
July 10, 2026

SD: “At the same time as Dept of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito launches an investigation into H1B visa abuses by corporations who engaged in visa fraud, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh appoints advisors to the FED on labor policy that includes one of the most egregious violators of H1B fraud, XBox CEO Asha Sharma.
It is beyond frustrating to see our labor system for ‘qualified technical positions’ being abused by companies who are intentionally discriminating against American workers.

comment image
.

American born Asha Sharma was the former VP at Facebook during their $14M settlement with DOJ for discriminating against American workers. Now as CEO of Microsoft XBox gaming, she has announced the termination of around 3,200 employees while Microsoft, company-wide, filed 2,879 Labor Condition Application for H-1B positions in fiscal year 2026.

There is a pattern at work within the high-tech industry where corporations factor in the price of lawsuits as a cost of doing business, a cost-effective way to continue discriminating against American workers. Obviously, they deny this practice, yet the transparent visibility of the practice continuing tell a more honest story.

Into this mix, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announces an advisory network of business and economic leaders to help guide FED policy on a variety of subjects.

[CITATION] Within the Productivity and Jobs taskforce, Asha Sharma surfaces as an advisor “to inform the Federal Reserve’s policy judgments.”

I’m sure all of these are lovely people, with the best intentions for their own personal interests. However, where in the dynamic of FED policy advisors is the person who speaks directly to the needs of American workers who are being forced by policy to compete against the entire world for a tech sector job.

Arminio Fraga, founder and chairman, Gávea Investimentos; former president, Central Bank of Brazil. Mervyn King, former governor, Bank of England. Raghuram Rajan, professor of finance, University of Chicago Booth School of Business; former governor, Reserve Bank of India. Raj Chetty, professor of economics, Harvard University. Asha Sharma, executive vice president and XBOX CEO, Microsoft Corp.” {SOURCE}

VGC – […] Notably, Sharma was named one of three advisors on the Productivity and Jobs task force, which the Federal Reserve says will be assessing, among other things, the impact of AI.

According to a news release, the task force will look at “the economic impact of new general-purpose technologies, including artificial intelligence, to inform the Federal Reserve’s policy judgments.”

Supported by Federal Reserve staff, the task forces will operate independently, with “a mandate to follow the evidence, provide candid feedback, and produce rigorous findings for the Federal Open Market Committee”. (more)

Another take on her appointment.
Looks like she’s brought in to be the hatchet man in her previous roles.
Is she being brought in to perform the same within the Fed?

There is a pattern at work within the high-tech industry where corporations factor in the price of lawsuits as a cost of doing business …

I do believe that this started [or became publicly known] when Ford Inc used it to determine policy for the Pinto disaster. They decided it was cheaper to pay the verdicts than to recall and repair all the Pintos.

I seem to remember the dollar difference was about $2 more to repair compared to the average cost per car to pay the verdicts for burning to death many people.

It’s just about the bottom line.

scott467

“They decided it was cheaper to pay the verdicts than to recall and repair all the Pintos.”

_____________

Then they should all be charged with the murder of every person killed by a known problem with their product, a deadly problem they consciously and cynically chose not to fix, because it was cheaper to have their customers die a horrible death.

They should be put to death right there in the courtroom, immediately after the guilty verdict is rendered.

My brother & I consecutively owned our grandpa’s old Pinto (we called it the “Brick Mobile”) that had only One upgrade, an AM radio. I had it first then gave it to my bro when I got another car. When he had it, while driving on the highway, the gas tank literally fell off the car at one point 🙁

Wolf Moon

Good GRIEF!

Valerie Curren

No doubt! He got it repaired & when he got another car gave it back to my parents. My mom sold it quite cheaply (I have no idea why Dad didn’t get involved but it had been her parents’ car before) for $300 & the guy who bought it was Thrilled for it was low mileage even w/ trips between MI & OK for bro & I. Mom gave bro & me each $150 as proceeds from the sale  🙃 

cthulhu

My first car, provided by my parents, was a 1979 Ford Mustang. The thing went through 3 starters, 2 ring gears, a tranny, 2 carbs, a water pump, 3 thermostats (until I just left it out), and ate valve cover gaskets like candy (the valve covers and heads were made from different metals, so they’d expand differently as they heated and cooled). The factory alignment had so much toe-in that the thing nosed-down into every turn (it worked much better when they were dead nuts parallel, but it ate tires until then). I got rid of it after about 70,000 miles.

My next car was a 1986 Nissan Sentra that I bought new from a dealer. It was so stripped that it didn’t have a radio. It cost me $4,709 out-the-door with destination charge, sales tax, and registration included. There wasn’t a piece of metal on the entire thing that was more than 1/4″ thick, including the block. Someone ran into it when it was parked and drove the sheet metal into the front wheel — I pulled it out with my bare hands and drove it home.

So when I got my current car, a 1994 Honda Accord Wagon, I thought it was the height of luxury.

Valerie Curren

Wow. You’ve got those crazy details down pat. fun times

Your Honda is only Slightly older than our Explorer. Hubby took it to the local repair shop our oldest recommended to get some A/C work done on it for our upcoming trip. He left the tag from the shop on his key set & I saw that the repair guys had labled it the “Exploder” LOL. The list of things that need work, most of which Hubby could/would do, are literally costing more than what that car is worth. We kind of do that Larry Burkett philosophy of driving those old cars into the ground before getting another used (aka pre-owned/pre-loved) car 😉

cthulhu

I’m thinking cars because I got my car smogged this afternoon and updated the registration for another year.

I was telling the guy about cleaning the EGR manifold some years back and he commented, “it isn’t as clean as it was” when he gave me the results.

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg JUST IN: President Trump announces executive order directing Sec. Scott Bessent to *SHUT DOWN* bank accounts used to facilitate illegal immigration or to give illegal aliens welfare

Trump is moving to DE-BANK illegals

LET’S GO, LONG OVERDUE https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f525.svg

“Funds will ultimately face Impoundment and Seizure so they can to be returned to Taxpayers.”

“It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any Illegal Alien can simply present a Blue State Drivers License, or Biden Border Document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. Financial System.”

“I recently signed a powerful new Executive Order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop Banks, Credit Cards, and Financial Institutions from being used to facilitate Human Smuggling, Drug Trafficking, Illegal Immigration, and the Criminal Cartels who orchestrate these activities.”

“Access to our Nation’s Financial Systems must be limited to those who have a Legal Right to be here, and who are engaged in Lawful and Legitimate Commerce. Bank Accounts being used to enable Illegal Immigration, or to store the Welfare received by Illegal Aliens, will be shut down.”

“This also sends a clear message to the anti-ICE rioters that your violent disruptions are only strengthening our resolve. My Executive Order will also allow us to stop Billions in leaving our Country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden’s Border Invasion. We shall soon find out!”

Bessent is going after fraudsters and illegals!

By modernizing the Federal governments computer systems AND intentionally hunting for fraud, I think a lot was found. Scott Bessent even said 1/2 his job was hunting…

Politico Pens Doge Obituary … While Trump Officials Say It Is ‘Alive In Spirit’

The White House marked July 4 as the formal conclusion of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) initial mission, bringing to a close the temporary initiative created by President Trump to identify waste, fraud, and inefficiency throughout the federal government. While Politico characterized the move as the end of DOGE, Trump administration officials said the effort is continuing under a different structure rather than being dismantled. One official described DOGE as remaining “alive in spirit,” with its recommendations now being carried out directly by individual federal departments and agencies.

According to administration officials, many DOGE personnel have transitioned into permanent roles across the federal government to oversee implementation of the initiative’s reforms. Agencies are expected to continue reviewing contracts, reducing unnecessary spending, modernizing technology systems, streamlining operations, and pursuing workforce efficiency measures first developed under the centralized DOGE office.

The administration has said it will continue tracking and publicizing savings generated through these reforms, portraying the July 4 transition as the beginning of a long-term government-wide management effort rather than the end of the initiative itself.

Ashe in America:
I believe that DOGE was a technology project as part of a broader transformation program. It was positioned that way in the Executive Order temporarily establishing it, and the narrative of DOGE and its promises was externally generated by the media and other third party actors – such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Because I believe it’s a technology project, I also believe the internal success metrics of DOGE are something other than money saved. I would imagine it’s something closer to a comprehensive install with active reporting across agencies and departments.

That’s how I read the happenings of DOGE, but I concede it’s just theory. I’m open to being wrong – maybe DOGE was just a shiny object meant to distract from the expansion of the techno-surveillance state. Come to think of it, both could be true, couldn’t they?

Despite the temptation to swallow a black pill on “government efficiency”, modern workplace tracking software is something that employees fear and employers covet. As the employers of the government, we should want our employees to know they’re being tracked and fear being caught defrauding or subverting our agenda…shouldn’t we?

“OPM Director Scott Kupor told Reuters DOGE ‘doesn’t exist’ but clarified on X it ‘may not have centralized leadership’ but ‘the principles of DOGE remain alive and well.’”

If true, that’s a good thing. And, if true, we should expect to see additional prosecutions for waste, fraud, and abuse.

And we should see both the size and expense of government continue to shrink. In fact, we should demand it.

Rubio Bringing 60 Nations Together To Confront A Growing Threat

patfrederick

pharmacy owner in NJ (totally American sounding name) committed Medicare/Medicaid fraud pf about $20 Million. This article explains the network and how they did it.

FTA
“Each of the defendants had a unique role in this alleged scheme, but the common thread is a complete disrespect for the Medicare and Medicaid programs that so many Americans rely on,” said Newark Special Agent in Charge Stefanie Roddy. “The defendants defrauded these programs through kickbacks that lined their pockets, while over $20 million taxpayer dollars were quietly disappearing. The FBI will continue to root out conspiracies to commit health care fraud and restore balance to a system that will not be shaken by these disrupters.”

According to documents filed in these cases and statements made in court:

From October 2022 to November 2025, Elmasri, a pharmacy owner, paid illegal kickbacks and bribes to several health care providers in exchange for them issuing prescriptions for high-reimbursement medications, which Elmasri selected, to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Elmasri personally profited from these prescriptions and the insurance claims it generated for his pharmacies.

One of the providers involved in the scheme was Dr. Boris Veysman, an emergency medicine doctor with offices in New Jersey. Elmasri paid Veysman to issue prescriptions recommended by Elmasri to Medicare beneficiaries Elmasri referred to Veysman from approximately May 2023 to December 2024. Veysman, at times, did not examine the patients prior to issuing the prescriptions. Maixner and Steidle were advanced practice nurses who worked for Veysman and are also alleged to have received illegal kickbacks from Elmasri for issuing prescriptions. Cupo also worked for Veysman and submitted prior authorizations with false information to increase the likelihood that the prior authorizations she prepared would be approved by Medicare and other health care benefit programs. 

Separately, Janet Tadros was the office manager of a neurology practice in Jersey City, New Jersey, who, from between December 2023 and November 2025, solicited and received cash kickbacks of approximately $3,000 per week in exchange for sending Elmasri’s pharmacies medically unnecessary prescriptions for patients who were not evaluated nor prescribed the medications and that were sent without the provider’s knowledge or authorization. 

In total, the defendants are alleged to have caused a loss of approximately $20,684,264 to Medicare and Medicaid.

Veysman, Steidle, and Maixner are separately charged with allegedly conspiring to unlawfully distribute controlled substances to patients without assessing them. 

The charges of conspiracy carry a statutory maximum of five years imprisonment as well as a maximum fine equal to twice the gross gain or twice the gross loss caused by the offense. The charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and violations of the Anti-Kickback statute each carry a statutory maximum of ten years imprisonment.

More proof Democrats are total idiots:
‘Imbecilic’ congresswoman advises ICE officers on what to shoot
Democrat Rep. Sylvia Garcia on ICE shooting an illegal alien who tried to plow federal agents with his car: “If they really think that a car is going to hurt somebody, you shoot the tires. You don’t shoot the driver.”
She seems not to know a flat tire will not immediately stop a speeding vehicle, they can go quite some distance on the flat tire and rim, definitely far enough to run you over and kill you.
There was instant mockery online:
“This is the same kind of person that says police should shoot a criminal in the leg.”
“Well, we can’t help that she is full retard and that she’s probably never tried to shoot a tire out.”
“Democrats like illegal aliens more than their constituents.”
“Let’s put her in front of a car and try it out.”
“If someone points a gun at you, shoot the gun, not the criminal.”
“Wrong! Shoot the driver. The tires aren’t trying to kill someone.”

WOMAN.

FEMALE.

Seriously, you don’t see men saying stupid *&^% like that, not even most of the Leftard men, because most men understand LOTS of things intuitively, things that many women never even think of.

Because they’ve never had to, in their entire evolutionary history.

That’s why so many women, like this Leftard, sound like a 5-year old, when she’s a hundred yards out of her lane.

She ought to be yanked out of any position of power or authority, because she is a danger to herself and to society.

Interesting piece in Foreign Affairs this week. I have been saying for years that Taiwan has been enjoying the benefits of flooding America with cheap stuff they manufactured, but have not been doing enough to provide for their own security. Instead of making themselves into Fortress Taiwan, so strong militarily that the cost of any Chinese invasion would deter such action. But no. Instead they preferred to hide behind America’s skirt, just like Europe. So I have argued against defending them.
Now this piece in FA that concludes with: “the principal lesson of the war in Ukraine is that a nation determined to survive must be willing to learn how to defend itself.” Yes! There is nothing we get from Taiwan that we can’t make ourselves or source from somewhere else. Tired of NATO. Tired of Europe. Tired of Taiwan.

This story is very informative and quite profound in sharing her personal life and events in that high profile world in which she participated.

All of which always leads to the foot of the Cross and the choices we make as individuals.

Here we are 6 years later with the evidence of voter fraud by tens of thousands in just one blue city that have been held under lock snd key while the propagandist media declares the election steal to be fantasy. Multiply by literally thousands of locations to some undetermined extent. We know Fulton County, GA is going to be worse as an example..

Method explained in the article. One of many methods for cheating for the record.

We know the perpetrators are unlikely to see one day behind bars. We know even SCOTUS acted in defense of the perpetrators at the time. We now know with ample evidence that J6 was Fedsurrection. Yet, the perpetrators continue to walk free and pretend they did something great for America.

We also know that any person in America that opposes the provisions of the SAVE America Act self identifies as a criminal or complicit in seditious and perhaps treasonous behavior. All you have to do is ask any person where they stand on that issue and you know who they are.

There can be no peace and trust in government until justice is fully served.

“Or picture a truck driver hauling valuable cargo across the country. In states such as California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Oregon—five of the ten states that refuse to recognize concealed handgun permits from other states—these travelers can find themselves defenseless.”

Not this traveler.

Imagine, if you will, Aubergine driving to visit a friend. She has to cross a state like Oregon to get there. Under her driver’s seat is her handgun. What does she do when she reaches the Oregon border, throw the gun out the window? Or does she drive on, safe in the knowledge that if she’s accosted her friendly pistol is at the ready?

Imagine Aubergine is stopped for speeding. Does she reveal the existence of said pistol to policeman? Or does she simply smile, apologize for speeding, keeping both hands visible at all times, and remaining extremely polite? What possible reason would she give the officer for searching her car?

Further imagine that Aubergine has the misfortune to have to shoot an attacker. Will Aubergine be happier to be alive to fight in court, or would she rather have been defenseless and now deceased?

Sophie’s Choice was a good movie. It revealed much about living life. Most of life’s crossroads are not easy decisions to make.

My modus operandi has always been to think about as many possible scenarios and outcomes as I can come up with and to contemplate what I would choose to do in any one of them. It has come in handy many, many times, when even a split-second decision was required of me.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Saturday, July 11, 2026

“Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.”

Colossians 3:20 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR COLOSSIANS 3:20

The Colossians exhorted to be heavenly-minded; (1-4) to mortify all corrupt affections; (5-11) to live in mutual love, forbearance, and forgiveness; (12-17) and to practise the duties of wives and husbands, children, parents, and servants. (18-25)

18-25 The epistles most taken up in displaying the glory of the Divine grace, and magnifying the Lord Jesus, are the most particular in pressing the duties of the Christian life. We must never separate the privileges and duties of the gospel. Submission is the duty of wives. But it is submission, not to a severe lord or stern tyrant, but to her own husband, who is engaged to affectionate duty. And husbands must love their wives with tender and faithful affection. Dutiful children are the most likely to prosper. And parents must be tender, as well as children obedient. Servants are to do their duty, and obey their masters’ commands, in all things consistent with duty to God their heavenly Master. They must be both just and diligent; without selfish designs, or hypocrisy and disguise. Those who fear God, will be just and faithful when from under their master’s eye, because they know they are under the eye of God. And do all with diligence, not idly and slothfully; cheerfully, not discontented at the providence of God which put them in that relation. And for servants’ encouragement, let them know, that in serving their masters according to the command of Christ, they serve Christ, and he will give them a glorious reward at last. But, on the other hand, he who doeth wrong, shall receive for the wrong which he hath done. God will punish the unjust, as well as reward the faithful servant; and the same if masters wrong their servants. For the righteous Judge of the earth will deal justly between master and servant. Both will stand upon a level at his tribunal. How happy would true religion make the world, if it every where prevailed, influenced every state of things, and every relation of life! But the profession of those persons who are regardless of duties, and give just cause for complaint to those they are connected with, deceives themselves, as well as brings reproach on the gospel.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! As it happens, I accidentally grasped an electric wire of controversy this week, when I had a shockingly fun time dashing off a throwaway piece about Flock surveillance cameras and heroic anti-Flock vigilantes armed with cordless saws. You might remember it. Well, reader reactions were swift, with some appreciating my sense of humor, and others not appreciating my lack of appreciation for the very, very serious privacy issues and the potential loss of our civic ability to make perfectly safe rolling stops at stop signs because coming to a complete stop is vexing, useless, and just takes too long. So I’ve reflected, like Graham Platner. Today fleshes out the debate over privacy, cameras, AI, et cetera, this time treating these vitally important issues with deadly seriousness. Well, MOSTLY seriously. Okay, SOMEWHAT seriously.

Socialist NYC Mayor Mamdani Inadvertently Hands ICE A Target Map To Catch Illegals

Far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has repeatedly denounced capitalism while promoting a socialist reconstruction of the metro area, sparked uproar this week after releasing a map highlighting 30 migrant enclaves while omitting historic Italian, Irish, and Jewish communities.

The map includes areas such as Little Palestine, Little Pakistan, Little Yemen and Little Guyana, but leaves out Little Italy, Irish enclaves including Woodlawn and Sunnyside, and Brooklyn’s heavily Orthodox Jewish Borough Park. 

But perhaps the Democratic Socialists of America mayor and his band of far-left anti-American clowns, who spend more time trying to erase and rewrite history in typical Marxist fashion, inadvertently created one of the greatest gifts for President Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Ryan James Girdusky of the 1776 Project PAC wrote on X, “This is actually a map of where ICE needs to conduct raids.” 

Mamdani’s immigrant map appears less like a celebration of New York’s diversity and more like a Marxist ideology that divides residents into competing identity blocs. Before the socialist takeover of City Hall, there was a simpler civic identity: New Yorkers were New Yorkers.

The nose rings, those cow things hanging out of their septum, are just awful. I have yet to hear any man say they find them attractive — just the opposite, so women are wearing them to repel men.

Think of the ugliest or most unattractive thing a man could do to his appearance, something that the vast majority of women would find either mock-worthy or gross — and then imagine large numbers of men started doing it.

That’s what nose-ring phenomenon is like.

Women choosing to make themselves look ugly, on purpose.

I mean, unless they’re gay, they’re not wearing nose rings to appeal to other women.

And unless they’re completely tone-deaf, they’re certainly not wearing them to appeal to men.

So why are they wearing them?

Women are (apparently) mostly agnostic about other women wearing junk in their nose.

But most men hate them.

Ergo, they are wearing nose rings to repel men. To antagonize men. To provoke. To cause hostility and division. To be rebellious for rebellion’s sake.

To intentionally uglify themselves, as a public repudiation of male standards of female beauty.

DETAIL: Mahamud’s daycare, located near George Floyd Square, falsely claimed to have served thousands of meals to children, including documentation alleging two meals a day for 1,000 children, seven days a week. Federal prosecutors revealed that while the daycare received over $850,000 in federal nutrition funds in just six months, only a small portion was used to purchase food. The case is part of the larger Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, which has implicated nearly 100 people, often from the Somali community, in submitting false claims for meals that were never provided.

Turkey Gave NATO Leaders Handguns as Gifts – EU Leaders Don’t Know What to Do

July 11, 2026

SD: “Personally, I believe Turkish President Recep Erdogan knew exactly what would happen when he gave all the NATO leaders a “Magnum” .357 handgun at the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey. What happened next is exactly the reason he did it.

President Trump brings Erdogan’s gift back to the White House, with a casual ‘cool gun’ nonchalant approach. Meanwhile, back in Europe, the apoplectic recipients, administrators’, various office bureaucracies and support staff that surround each NATO politician are physically and mentally stuck, not knowing what to do.

comment image

I have read many of the media reports, and they are incredibly funny -and sad- but mostly funny {SEE HERE}.

The general response is that President Erdogan has just handed the NATO leaders something akin to an unstable, portable nuclear device. Most of the European’s won’t even touch the custom case that accompanies the handgun, let alone actually touch the alarmingly scary pistol itself.

THE MESSAGE – AGAINST THE BACKDROP: How is NATO going to “defend itself” if they cannot even receive, handle or carry a firearm? A poignant and not-s0-subtle message that is more than a little funny; in a typically Turkish manner of irony.

The main NATO request in Turkey was for U.S. patriot missiles. {CITATION} Ursula von der Leyen, the European Union commission president, thanked Erdogan for the gift, which will be decommissioned and donated to a military museum, her spokesperson said. […] “It struck me that ⁠my gift of maple syrup kind of undermatched,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters, adding that the firearm was now in police possession. “I would like to reassure Canadians, they keep guns away from me.” {CITATION}

Sometimes life makes you feel like you are sitting alone, looking at the geopolitical world – and no one can see the absurdity of it all. We need advanced weapons to protect ourselves against the horrible Russians, NATO proclaimed.

comment image
.

Meanwhile, “The Belgian prime minister, Bart De Wever, only “learned of the exact nature of the gift” after landing in Belgium. “The prime minister was surprised and immediately handed it over to airport police so it could be placed in a secure safe and the matter was handled in accordance with relevant procedures,” an official said on Thursday.”

Several revolvers, including those belonging to Starmer, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, and the Dutch prime minister, Rob Jetten, have for now remained in the Turkish capital.  Depending on the laws in force, transporting firearms is often far from straightforward, especially when they are fully functional. {source}

The Magnum styled .357 revolvers came with six bullets.  “Beyond the logistical challenge, the gift also puzzled several delegations attending the summit.” … “The question asked over and over again: why such a gift?” … “The Turkish presidency did not immediately respond.”

Von der Leyen “expressed her thanks” to Erdoğan for the gift, her spokesperson said, adding that it would be decommissioned and donated to a military museum.These same NATO leaders are asking President Trump for advanced Patriot Missiles.
Perhaps I’m the only one who can see the point Erdogan is making.

European NATO leaders dislike Recep Erdogan immensely.

For many years I have outlined Erdogan’s duplicity; quite simply – I am not a fan, yet you cannot deny the respect he has created against his adversaries within his position as the world’s most powerful gatekeeper for the future of Europe.

Europe says Erdogan cannot be trusted with American F-35 technology.

Europe asks President Trump for advanced patriot missiles.

Erdogan gives European leaders handguns.

European leaders and every layer of their bureaucratic staff are frozen.

Well played.”

The Uproar about War Isn’t About Iran; It’s About Killing Trump and MAGA

“Barbara Boyd argues Trump is pursuing peace talks with Iran while warning the ceasefire is over and the U.S. will respond with crushing force if Iran interferes in the Strait of Hormuz.

She says media claims that Trump is a warmonger are false, citing Trump’s regional “Board of Peace,” Iran’s long-term proxy war through Hamas and Hezbollah, and Iran’s uranium enrichment and nuclear ambitions.

The script describes U.S. strikes — Operation Midnight Hammer (2025) and Operation Epic Fury (Feb. 2026) — and claims these actions weakened Iran, shifted Gulf states against Tehran, enabled changes in Gaza and Lebanon, and collapsed Iran’s economy, leaving Hormuz harassment as its main lever.

Boyd frames the conflict as part of a broader struggle against a London-centered “petrodollar” energy order and Net Zero policies, highlighting Trump’s energy expansion, economic metrics, and new nuclear and fusion initiatives as the future economic strategy.”

TGP Exclusive: New Photos of Trump’s Wounded Ear One Week After Butler Assassination Attempt
Sippets FTA:

The wound to the ear has not been seen since Trump was photographed with blood pouring from it on Saturday, July 13, 2024.

When Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the following Monday, a large white bandage had been affixed to his ear.

On Saturday, July 20, 2024, Trump held an indoor rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The large white bandage had been replaced with a tan bandage covering the upper ear.

At some point during Trump’s remarks, the bandage came apart, offering a revealing glimpse of the wound.

Photos taken by The Gateway Pundit contributor Kristinn Taylor that have not been previously published show that a piece of the top of Trump’s right ear, about two centimeters across, was missing. The exposed wound appeared clean, with no bleeding or signs of infection.

A couple of the photos:
