DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for the absolutely beautiful weather we had for “No King But God Day!” In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
2A: Chicago, Illinois, has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the nation. On July 3, a carful of young black men rolled up to a black rapper’s album release party in Chicago and shot 18 people. It’s likely most or all of them were also black. Four of them (two male, two female) are dead.
Although the police have not declared a motive, the Chicago Tribune noted that “for the past 15 years, Chicago’s drill rap scene has often been linked to fatal gun violence as rival artists with reputed gang ties trade insults and threats through their lyrics and social media taunts.”

ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL: CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1941253557665321187 [:52] to see Trump sign the bill into law during yesterday’s White House Independence Day party.
OBBB prohibits federal Medicaid funding to clinics that offer abortions for one year. PP claims it’s going to cause 200 clinics to close. We shall see.
The legislation also locks in Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and introduces new tax breaks — including deductions for tips, overtime pay, and auto loan interest — while also offering a special $6,000 deduction for seniors who receive Social Security.
At the same time, the Republican-backed bill enacts significant cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and food assistance designed to eliminate waste and fraud, eliminates tax incentives for clean energy, and overhauls the federal student loan system.

HYPOCRITE OF THE WEEK AWARD: On May 9, 2021, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries [D-NY-8] tweeted “The filibuster is a racially tinged artifact of the Jim Crow era. We cannot let it stand in the way of progress.”
On July 3, 2025, he delayed a House vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” by yammering from 4:53 a.m. to 1:37 p.m. EDT. At 8 hours and 44 minutes, he holds the new House record, previously held by then House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy at 8.5 hour record, set in 2021.

LIFE: Remember when “pro-choice” was a thing and abortions were supposed to be “safe, legal, and rare”? Now it’s “rah rah for abortions” which should be “safe, legal, and lots.” CLICK (or not … seriously) https://x.com/KristanHawkins/status/1940490826435731850 [:46] to hear British singer Lily Allen joke about not being able to remember how many abortions she’s had.
