IRAN: An Iranian attack on the Cyprus-flagged container ship M/V GFS Galaxy in the Strait of Hormuz left the ship with an onboard fire, damage to its engine room and a missing crew member. In response, the United States military, at the direction of the Commander in Chief, hit approximately 140 Iranian military targets, including missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations.

CATHOLIC: In 452 AD, Attila the Hun marched toward Rome after devastating much of northern Italy. His name alone spread fear across Europe. City after city had fallen before his army. Many believed Rome, which has no army capable of stopping Attila’s forces, would be next.

Pope Leo I traveled north and met alone and unarmed with the man known as “The Scourge of God.” No record preserves their conversation, but it must have been extraordinary. After allowing the pope to return home, unscathed, Attila turned his army around and spared Rome.

COWS: Cows eat grass, which is inedible to humans and often grows well in areas where other crops fail. From that grass, cows produce meat, milk, leather, tallow, bones, and manure.

We cannot replicate with any technology what cows do by the grace of God.

TOLERANCE: Last month, Democratic Minnesota Governor and failed VP candidate, “Tampon Tim” Walz, pardoned and released Tue Lue Vang of Laos.

In 2006, Vang was convicted of having repeatedly raped a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. He had attempted to pay his victim $10 to keep silent, dismissed his acts of child abuse as a ‘minor thing’, and claimed it was normal for his culture for grown men to have sex with young girls. Walz said he deserved a second chance.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he’s not a citizen and sent him back to Laos. “Vang has now been removed from our country and will never pose a threat to any American ever again.” CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2075919551905026088 [:23] to hear Walz’s response to Vang being sent back to Laos.

EDUCATION: Audrey van der Meer, a Norwegian neuroscientist, hooked 36 university students up to a scalp cap that had 256 sensors. Then, she flashed words on to a screen. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information all fired in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. But when the same students typed the same word, most of their brains went quiet.

Another study done at Princeton compared meaningful recall of information among hundreds of students. While watching lectures, half took typed their notes, while the other half wrote by hand. The handwriting group scored far higher on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

In 2020, Gillum was found at a Miami Beach hotel, intoxicated and passed out alongside a male prostitute amid vomit-soaked bedding. The prostitute was sent to a hospital; Gillum, who was not charged with anything, had reportedly paid the prostitute multiple times for sex.

In 2022, a federal grand jury also indicted Gillum on charges of wire fraud related to his gubernatorial campaign against DeSantis. The charges were later dropped.

Last week, he was arrested in Daphne, Alabama on charges of possession of dangerous drugs (meth), drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

TRUMP: Mary Anne MacLeod was born in 1912 in a remote, impoverished village on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. At 18, she sought to escape the bleak economic hardships of post-WWI Europe by sailing to America. Arriving in New York City with nothing but a single suitcase and $50, she found work as a domestic maid and nanny for a wealthy family on Long Island. In the mid-1930s, she met a young, ambitious local real estate developer named Fred at a dance party. The two fell deeply in love, married in 1936, and became the parents of the 45^th and 47^th president of the United States.

A Laotian citizen named Tou Lue Vang was convicted back in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after repeatedly violating a 10-year-old girl. He justified his actions as “a cultural thing.” He lost his legal status, got a final order of removal, and was set to be deported until Tampon Tim and the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission decided to pardon him. It is not yet clear whether Vang will remain in the United States or if federal officials will pursue further action.

VATICAN: On July 2, the Vatican officially declared that the six bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) who carried out illicit episcopal ordinations have incurred excommunication and that SSPX clergy and lay faithful who formally adhere to the SSPX are in schism.

Under canon 1364 §1, schism incurs automatic excommunication. For lay faithful, this applies only to those who “formally adhere” to the SSPX; per a 1996 test with two elements: an internal one, freely choosing loyalty to the Lefebvrist movement over obedience to the Pope, and an external one, shown by exclusively attending SSPX liturgies rather than those of the Catholic Church. Occasional attendance alone does not meet this standard. All SSPX clergy are considered to satisfy both elements automatically through their ministry within the movement.

SSPX was founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who rejected Vatican II. The Vatican has been trying to bring the members of the SSPX movement back into full communion with the Catholic Church since Pope Paul VI.
