ART HISTORY: The graphic is a piece of the Sodom and Gomorrah illustration from the Morgan Bible, a unique illuminated manuscript consisting of miniature, detailed paintings of events from the Old Testament, set in the scenery and costumes of thirteenth-century France, and depicted from a Christian perspective. IOW, it’s one of the first picture book-slash-graphic novel Bibles. If Father Mike Schmidt had been a Medieval monk, I imagine this is what he would’ve come up with.

EDUCATION: A federal appeals court has issued an order that blocks all remaining parts of the federal government’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) student debt relief plan that weren’t blocked by an earlier lower-court ruling.

IT OUTAGE: Early Friday, a cybersecurity company called CrowdStrike deployed a faulty software update to computers running Microsoft Windows, causing them to crash, grounding flights, knocking banks offline and leaving media outlets showing nothing but the “blue screen of death.” One tech expert says, “I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history.”

J6: Good news … following June 28 decision by the Supremes, U.S. prosecutors have started dropping obstruction charges against J6ers.

SHOT ANALYSIS: [20:37] – I highly recommend you not only watch this with your whole brain, but also with a full screen. This isn’t tin foil hat stuff. This is a scientific audio analysis of multiple recordings proving there were at least two shooters, possibly even three. These do not count the shot the authorized sniper took that killed Crooks.

TIN FOIL HATS or GOLD-PLATED THINKING CAPS? [9:06] – In the video, Newsmax Greg connects the dots between anti-Trumpers and Kimberly “Sloping Roof” Cheatle.

On Jesse Waters, Rep. Michael Waltz said the FBI has told him Crooks had three encrypted overseas accounts and noted the intelligence chatter about an Iranian plot to kill Trump that supposedly caused Secret Service to beef up his protection. (For all the good that did …)

On the other side of the aisle, Democrats and talking heads in the Lame Stream Media are saying Trump wasn’t actually shot, that it was just fake blood, and that his bandage at the convention was a prop to get sympathy votes.

Incredibly, a new poll shows a third of Biden’s supporters believe this crap. I’ll let you know if I see a poll showing how many Trump supporters believe Crooks was a patsy for some deeper conspiracy, possibly involving domestic and/or foreign anti-Trumpers.

TRUMP’S EAR: This is the first close up shot I’ve seen of his injury. It looks to me like the bullet tore out two chunks of flesh. I had imagined he was hit just on the outer part of the helix, where his ear was farthest from his head. But there is also a gouge on the inner part of the helix right by his temple.

WONDERING: [20:26] – One of my Marines was privileged to be present on the South Lawn to greet President George W. Bush returning from a meeting on Marine One. She referred to the Secret Service snipers securing the scene from every vantage point as “very scary guys.” I just cannot believe that some 20-year-old doofus with a gun and a ladder was able to even get near the venue, much less climb on to a roof top that had been oopsie left unsecured within yards of a former president and current presidential candidate. Add at least one, possibly two other guns and, yeah, we’re looking at a conspiracy that had Thomas Matthew Crooks as the fall guy. They probably told him he’d be remembered forever. “Escape your parents’ basement and your dead end job and become world famous, you big loser!” All he had to do was DIE.

  1. Found this lying around the web, things that make one go “hmmm….”

    The Crowdstrike chief security officer (who used to work for FBI under Mueller) dumped almost $1.5M of their stock five days ago.

    Crowdstrike CEO was the former Chief Tech Officer at MacAfee where the same bad update bricked computers worldwide happened.
