Supply..

 

On the eastern front, Ukrainian troops are facing a relentless barrage from Russian drones and a “critical shortage of personnel.”

To counter the unmanned aircraft, soldiers have developed a surprisingly effective low-tech solution: stringing up simple fishing nets to catch the drones.

-However, this ingenuity highlights a deeper crisis.

 A Ukrainian commander reports not receiving replacements for eight months, being severely outnumbered, and suffering from extreme fatigue.

This desperate situation on the ground is compounded by what he calls a failure to communicate the true difficulty of the war up the chain of command.

In a long segment aired by CNN, a Ukrainian commander told the U.S. news network that he had not received replacements for his unit for eight months. At the moment, he told CNN, he was only resupplying frontline positions, and even there his troops are outnumbered.

Biased..

Terry Moran, the former ABC News reporter fired over his attack on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller earlier this year, admitted that the major news networks are “biased” against President Donald Trump in a recent Substack post about the Trump administration’s approval of the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.

“Let’s talk about bias. I worked at ABC News for almost 28 years, and I’m proud to say that.  A lot of good people do a lot of really good work there, and they try hard to get the story right.  

 “But: Were we biased?

 Yes. Almost inadvertently, I’d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint diversity.”

Boom..

Bank of America (BofA) suggests the US economy is moving away from the threat of stagflation and potentially towards a "cyclical boom". 

This shift is supported by factors like potential growth from Donald Trump's policies, increased AI investment, and a positive outlook for capital expenditures.

 "Regime Indicator" is also signaling a move from "Downturn" to "Recovery," historically associated with a rally in value stocks. 

BofA analysts believe the US has avoided the worst-case scenario of stagflation (high inflation and slow growth). 

The bank's strategists now suggest the possibility of a "boom" rather than just a cyclical recovery.    

Just a "Booming" thought.

Poll..

 

A new survey,  by Wall Street Journal ,   conducted by Democratic pollster John Anzalone and Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in three decades of WSJ polling, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party.

Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points

While voters still have significant concerns over the president’s and the Republican Party’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy, the majority of respondents nonetheless say they trust Republicans more to handle those issues in Congress.

Despite criticism of handling of inflation — the Republican Party, by 10 points, is trusted more than Democrats to deal with inflation.

Choice..

 

Inna Vernikov, aNYC Republican councilwoman, spoke to Fox News Digital about the prospect of New York City being run by socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

"I think it's a very dangerous situation we're in. I think we're looking at a chaotic city with lawlessness, after four years if Mamdani.

Comment:

The Democratic party is running after anyone who can have votes regardless of the message.

During President Donald Trump first term, the Democratic party embraced Michael Avenatti, the combative lawyer for a porn star...... He was convicted of trying to extort sportswear giant Nike.

The Question here is what does the Democratic Party's agenda?  Just a thought.

Deal ..

The U.S. and European Union agreed on trade terms that include a 15% rate on most EU products as well as hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in American industry.

President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met in Scotland on Sunday to iron out the agreement.

Trump said the EU will invest $600 billion in the U.S. and buy $750 billion of U.S. energy, with “vast amounts” of American weapons also in the mix. He also said the EU will be “opening up their countries at zero tariff.”

Community..

The early church, especially in its first century, was characterized by a strong sense of community and shared life. They gathered regularly, shared resources, and actively cared for one another, demonstrating a commitment to living out their faith in practical ways. 

This included sharing meals, possessions, and actively participating in each other's lives. 

Community Focus:  

The early church was deeply rooted in community. Believers met together frequently, both in public spaces like the temple courts and in homes, to share meals, fellowship, and learn from each other. 

• The early church actively shared their faith with others, leading to the rapid growth of the church. 

Owls..

A bipartisan parliament of House and Senate members today is calling on Congress to kill an expensive plan ordered by former President Joe Biden to shoot 450,000 barred owls bullying the endangered northern spotted owl in Northwest forests.

 The protected owl, which is found from British Columbia to northern California, has been at the center of several controversial environmental fights. The government estimates that there are between 3,000 and 5,200 of them versus millions of barred owls.

Critics of the Biden plan have called it expensive, wasteful, and cruel. Several wildlife groups also oppose the killings.

The Biden administration’s Fish and Wildlife Service agency plan to directly kill more than 450,000 barred owls, costing tax dollars over $1.3 billion over the next 30 years, is a waste of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars. 

Bad News..

 

Fox News touted its success over broadcast networks, stating that since June 20, it has led in primetime with 2.6 million viewers, compared to ABC’s 2.3 million viewers, NBC’s 2.1 million viewers, and CBS’ 2 million viewers.  

In comparison, MSNBC averaged 865,000 total viewers in primetime for July, down 27% on the same month last year. In the 25-54 demo, MSNBC posted 81,000, down 40% on the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, across total day, MSNBC averaged 530,000 (down 26%) and 52,000 in the demo (down 37%).

CNN averaged 497,000 total viewers in primetime for July (down 42% on last year) and 92,000 in the key demo (down 55%). In total day, CNN posted 370,000 viewers (down 29%) and 62,000 in the key (down 44%).

Fire Arms..

Mayor Eric Adams touted his administration’s work in getting firearms off the streets in a press conference on Sunday.

Going back to the start of 2025, more than 3,000 illegal firearms have been seized by the New York Police Department, Adams announced during the conference, which was hosted at the NYPD’s 42nd Precinct in the Bronx.

From January 2022 to today, Adams said that the city has taken over 22,700 illegal firearms in the course of his administration.

Skinny Legs .

 

A convicted terrorist and boss of the Irish Republican Army in North America may finally be getting booted from the United States.

The Belfast native was convicted in 1983 in Brooklyn Federal Court for conspiring to buy missiles to shoot down British helicopters amid the violent clashes in Northern Ireland known as “The Troubles.”

Gabriel Megahey, 82, lived in New York for decades but a June 20 letter from the US Department of Homeland Security warned his “parole” was being terminated,  

Megahey, known by the nickname “Skinny Legs,” was convicted with three others, with then U.S. Attorney John Dearie describing him at the time as “the most culpable of these defendants,” and the group as a whole as “a network of men who sought to use this country as a base of terrorist activities,” according to reports.

ICYMI [In Case you missed it], this Week: Rep. Meeks Calls Out Republicans for Hiding the Epstein Files.  

Trump and the Republicans have a pattern of deceiving the American people. 

They promised to release the Epstein files, they’re now refusing to do so and hiding them from the public. Speaker Johnson has gone so far as to adjourn the House early to avoid dealing with their self-inflicted crisis.  

Meanwhile, Democrats are leading the fight to hold them accountable and demand real answers. The American public deserves the truth—not more lies and political games from Trump and his allies.

Comment:

Is there more important issues that impact the little people than who slept with who?

Just a thought.

It seems that what the Media is saying and the Democratic Party is hoping for failure, the Tariffs, was working as it is supposed to. Now what a great failure is to those who just yakked against for months.  Just a thought.

Sweep..

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of 243 individuals across the Denver metro area during a targeted enforcement operation conducted from July 12 through July 20.    

According to ICE, the sweep focused on suspects linked to violent gangs such as the TdA and the Sinaloa Cartel, as well as individuals accused of serious crimes, including murder, human trafficking, sexual exploitation of minors, and fentanyl distribution."

Many of those arrested had been previously released from local jails due to Colorado's sanctuary laws, which limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. 

Of the 243 individuals detained, ICE reports that approximately 55 were arrested for major offenses, and 50 are subject to existing removal orders. 

Comments:

How many illegals with criminal offences are there in the Country?  Just a thought.

ICE said the detainees originate from a wide range of countries.

Stuff..

 
With Free Stuff to some, More Taxes for others who can barely be out of poverty.  Just a thought.

Mind..

After years of claiming that illegal aliens were never given Medicaid, the Democrats are now crying because illegals are now losing access to Medicaid. The same Medicaid they never received.

"I guess they've been caught in their own misinformation" said Jessica Vaughan with the Center for Immigration Studies. Something that would be even funnier, if it weren't true.

"Hardworking Americans should not be expected to fund these benefits, for people who have no right to be in the country to begin with" Vaughan told KTRH. 

But that is what today's Democrat Party has evolved into. Anti-American, but fighting for illegal aliens.  Especially the criminals. Just a "reality" thought

Standstill..

 

As U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported earlier this month, June 2025 saw the lowest number of southern border crossings in U.S. history

Nationwide, there were 25,228 CBP encounters, the lowest monthly number the agency has recorded, including a "historical low" of 8,024 apprehensions. Encounters include legal ports of entry, whereas apprehensions are arrests of those coming into the United States illegally.

The Biden administration, on the other hand, saw record numbers of illegal border crossings during its term. Dec. 2023 was the "worst month for encounters of inadmissible aliens on the southern border in U.S. history – 251,178," The Heritage Foundation wrote last week.

Away..

 

It has been one year since former President Joe Biden made the unprecedented decision to step aside in the 2024 presidential race.

The move, catapulted then-Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket. 

The outcome was decisive. Every swing state went to Trump. Democrats suffered defeat up and down the ballot, leaving them with little leverage in a Republican-controlled Washington, D.C.

A year later, and with midterms elections looming, the path forward for Democrats remains murky. Ideological and generational rifts persist within the fractured big-tent party.

The train is running away.  Just a thought.

Missing link..

 

A migrant who came to America as a boy 20 years ago is set to be deported after accidentally missing an exit on the freeway in Southern California and winding up in Mexico.

Erick Hernandez, 34, of East Los Angeles, migrated to the US from El Salvador at 14 years old, making him eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), NBC San Diego reported.

 Hernandez, whose parents gained legal status in the US, was working on becoming legal after marrying his wife, who is an American citizen.

Hernandez's family and attorney told NBC San Diego that he was working as a rideshare driver on June 1 when he missed a freeway exit in San Ysidro and found himself in Tijuana.

Comment:

This case has few things that is not logical.  He is a card driver and got lost!

He was DACA protected but never followed on it. Married to US citizen.... 

Something is missing in this story.

 A Honduran citizen faces deportation for a fourth time after being found living illegally in Pennsylvania this year.

Elio Yoel Cardona-Torres, 43, a citizen of Honduras, was sentenced July 17 to time-served (five months in prison) by Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann for illegally reentering the country after multiple deportations.  Cardona-Torres had pleaded guilty to the charge.

According to a release from the Department of Justice, Cardona-Torres was found in Sayre, Pa., on February 22. He was previously deported in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

Comment:

It seems that we are the only country with lax laws. That is of high cost to the tax payer pocket. Just a thought

Reality..

 

Resist..

 
Resist... Whatever is happening today, good or bad, the Democrats are opposing it. Border protection, criminal deportation, efficiency of government employees, debt reduction, abiding by the laws....

Do it but in a " different way." they keep saying.  Then comes the questions why they didn't do it in a "Different Way" when they had the chance?!!!!!

A knife-wielding..

 

A knife-wielding robbery suspect was killed after being struck by a car while fleeing police on an e-bike during a wild chase that began in Queens and ended in Long Island, police said.

Cops responded to 256-17 Hillside Avenue around 8:01 p.m. after receiving reports of an armed robbery, prompting the suspect to take off on the motorized bicycle, according to police.

The pursuit came to an end at Lakeview Road and Bryant Avenue in Nassau County, where the alleged perp was hit by a Lexus and suffered severe bodily trauma.

Menacing..

 

A fourth grade Ohio school teacher and cheerleading coach saw her idyllic mid-west life come crashing down after stalking an ex-boyfriend who moved on to a new partner.

Hannah Freeman, 27, sobbed during an explosive courtroom exchange as she was sentenced to a week in jail for the bad break-up behavior.

Freeman was placed on administrative leave from North Ridgeville Schools district, after being charged with several felony counts including menacing by stalking, trespass, theft, identity fraud and theft of drugs.

Police body camera footage showed Freeman being arrested after her ex reported that she stole two backpacks from his car.

He told police that Freeman would 'frequent his place of work as well as his residence, causing stress and mental anguish.
