AFGHANISTAN: Currently, over 2.2 million girls are denied the right to attend school beyond primary education.

AG: Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, has been confirmed in a 50–49 vote. Blanche has served as acting attorney general since April after previously serving as former AG Pam Bondi’s number two.

BALLROOM: The D.C. Circuit Court voted 2-1 that President Trump can’t demolish the East Wing of the White House and replace it with a ballroom without first receiving authorization from Congress. The dissenting judge said the ruling gave too little weight to the President’s national security judgments. Common sense says the ruling also ignores the fact that the East Wing of the White House was demolished more than a year ago.

BIBLE: Jesus performed miraculous feedings twice. In the feeding of the five thousand, He fed a Jewish crowd in Galilee with five loaves and two fish, with twelve baskets of fragments collected afterward. Because of the twelve tribes of Israel, twelve is the number of completeness for the Jewish people.

In the feeding of the four thousand, Jesus fed a largely Gentile crowd in the region of the Decapolis with seven loaves and a few fish, with seven baskets collected afterwards. Because God rested on the seventh day, in Jewish numerology, seven is the number for completeness for all of creation.

Note also that, for the Jews, He began with seven and ended with twelve while, for the Gentiles, He began with seven plus three and ended with seven.

Jesus did not perform the same miracle twice by accident or because the tradition confused two memories of one event. He performed it once in Jewish territory and once in Gentile territory, with numbers that said, to anyone who was listening carefully, that what he had done for Israel He was now also doing for all nations.

BONANZA: A U.S. company has found a mineral system containing lithium, potash, boron, and 1.78 million tons of tungsten. The multi-billion-dollar tungsten deposit alone is reportedly five times larger than any we’ve currently got and comes at a time when we are relying heavily on imports for the strategic metal.

BORDER: There were more than 43,000 arrests in June, the highest recorded by the Trump administration.

EBOLA: The rare Bundibugyo ebolavirus, which was first detected in mid-May, is now affecting more than 4,000 people across 53 health zones in five provinces in Congo. Delays in detection, a lack of a treatment or vaccine for this virus, and military conflict have allowed the disease to outrun containment efforts.

ISLAM: The Crusades began in 1095, when Pope Urban II called the faithful to take back the Holy Land. By that point, Muslim invaders had conquered two-thirds of formerly Christian territory over the preceding four centuries — including the Holy Land, North Africa, Spain, and much of the Middle East.

PSA: I saw this on my Facebook feed – “We would like to warn everyone about a scam complaint that we received today from a resident who purchased a new cell phone from Spectrum. Upon delivery by FedEx, the resident received a call from the cellular provider who informed them that they had received the wrong cell phone and needed to send it back. An email was sent to the resident with a QR code with directions to go to a local store that returns FedEx packages. The resident sent the phone as directed and later learned from the cell phone provider it was a scam. This has been occurring nationwide for the past few months. If you purchased a new phone, don’t send it back! Please call your cell phone provider and don’t EVER call any numbers provided by an unknown person. Thanks. ~ Homer Police Department”

SPOKANE: This photo captures an untouched statue of the Virgin Mary standing amid the debris of a residential property destroyed by the Indian Trail Fire near Spokane, Washington.

On Tuesday, an immigration judge ordered she be returned to whence she came.

FALL: In Brazil, a woman has been convicted of “criminal misgendering” a tranny politician. She has been sentenced to 2 years in prison, because she said, of the man-who-claims-he-is-a-woman, “a man is a man, a woman is a woman, and that’s it.”

FAUCI: The Attorneys General of Louisiana and West Virginia are joining Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, in gathering evidence related to Fauci’s COVID reign that negatively impacted state businesses and consumers.

HEALTH: [14:59] – Dr. Alex talks about how, over 4 shifts in the A&E, he treated approximately 120 people. All but one was suffering from a life-threatening problem that could have been prevented with a healthy lifestyle.

LEGAL IMMIGRATION: The Department of Homeland Security is starting a new program that will initially apply to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic and could expand to other nations in the future. It will require cash bonds of immigrants who do not appear to have the means to financially support themselves and would rely on taxpayer-funded benefits. The consular offices are going to determine the bond on a case-by-case basis, but the range is being set at $100,000-$250,000.

For the record, I know a Dutch woman who managed a Sri Lankan orphange for years. She legally adopted some of the children, but was unable to bring them back to The Netherlands with her, because of her home nation’s strict immigration policies.

MAMDANI: New York Post reports that Mayor Mamdani is a thin-skinned diva. – “Behind the scenes, Hizzoner huffily badgers critics who dare question him publicly, harbors petty grudges against prominent pols and often only responds to texts when he’s miffed about bad press, according to interviews with more than a dozen elected officials, consultants and other politicos.”

VDS: The Washington Post called the city of DC tried to get the Vice Presidential mansion cited for a zoning violation. Funnily enough, The Washington Post reported extensively and positively in March–April 2009 on then-FLOTUS’ Michelle Obama’s organic kitchen garden on the South Lawn, framing it as a project to promote healthy eating, educate children about food sources, and supply fresh produce.

DETRANS: Texas Children’s Hospital’s in Houston, Texas, is opening the nation’s first detransition clinic, offering restorative care to patients who regret life-altering gender procedures. Services are to include endocrinology, surgery, fertility counseling, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and speech pathology, among others.

FAUCI: From the comments …

@snooze06155136 – Right? And double up on his mask. That should keep him safe.

@RWMaloneMD – I am sure he has plenty of money to spend on security, if he is that worried. Just look at how much he made on the patents that he “co-invented” in his 40 yr position as director of NIAID. Recent reporting has estimated his wealth at approximately $25–28 million.

@JwsrepairWes – They aren’t accusations, they are admissions, and they aren’t coming from Trump supporters, they were written by the perp himself.

HEALTH: “You don’t rebuild your health with some big overhaul that lasts three weeks and then collapses, you do it with tiny little changes repeated over and over, like a little better sleep, a little more movement, one slightly better meal, none of which feel like much on the day but which slowly change your entire trajectory when they stack up over months and years.” – Dr. Alex

BORDER: The State Department says it will make permanent a visa bond program under which citizens from 50 countries are required to post bonds of up to $20,000 for business or tourist visas. The rule is intended to prevent immigrants from overstaying their visas. Visitors will get their bond money back upon the termination of the visa, as long as they have complied with the visa terms and conditions and have departed on time.

CATHOLIC: On July 31, 2026, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò posted, “On May 6, 2021, while the entire world was still under the yoke of the health dictatorship, the Holy See hosted—under the aegis of the Pontifical Council for Culture—a conference titled Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul. Unite to Prevent & Unite to Cure. Opening the proceedings was not a theologian, not a pastor, not a defender of natural law. It was Anthony Fauci. Beside him, Deepak Chopra, Chelsea Clinton… and, in the program, the top executives of Pfizer and Moderna.

“The same Holy See that should have raised its voice against the lie, against mass experimentation, against the suspension of fundamental rights, actively collaborated with the architects of what has been—and remains—one of the greatest operations of social control and health fraud in contemporary history: a true crime against humanity.”
