NOTABLE QUOTES

Leo Hohmann Substack: The CEO of Worldcoin has warned that a global digital ID system will be ushered in for citizens around the world whether they “like it or not.”

Breitbart News Tweeted on 7/20/2023: Sen. @RandPaul told Breitbart News Daily he has referred Dr. Anthony Fauci for prosecution, explaining that the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief lied during his testimony before Congress.

Helen Joyce, an Irish journalist and bestselling author: Something you may not have thought of is that there are a lot of people who can’t move on from this. And that’s the people who have transitioned their own children. So those people are going to be like the Japanese soldiers who were on Pacific islands and didn’t know the war was over. They’ve got to fight forever. This is another reason why this is the worst, worst, worst social contagion that we’ll ever have experienced. A lot of people have done what is the worst thing you could do, which is to harm their children irrevocably, because of it. Those people will have to believe that they did the right thing for the rest of their lives, for their own sanity, and for their own self-respect. So they’ll still be fighting, and each one of those people destroys entire organizations and entire friendship groups.

Richard Hanania 7/18/2023 Tweet: South Africa practices affirmative action on an industrial scale. But it still can’t close the black-white income gap. Many have therefore come to the conclusion that eliminating whites is the only way forward. NYT strangely non-judgmental about this.

Michael Ginsberg contributor to American Greatness: The Democrats’ monomaniacal focus on race and identity has, as Obama promised, fundamentally transformed the United States. All of it can be traced to the forces within the Democratic party, the progressive movement and the anti-Western Left that Obama’s election unleashed. Democrats seized the opportunity Obama’s election provided not to embrace racial progress but to utterly inundate our politics with race and identity, to simultaneously place themselves on an unassailable moral high ground and censor any debate, differing opinions, or political opposition on the ground that they are dangerous. They have executed a neat trick by appointing themselves as moral arbiters and conveniently judging all opposing viewpoints and politicians as immoral, “dangerous,” and beyond the pale. This, in turn, opened space for Democrats’ most radical ideologues to implement their most radical policies. The results in cities like Portland and San Francisco could not be clearer.

J. Antonio Juarez contributor to The Federalist: Another reason why “Sound of Freedom” is being upbraided by certain critics is not just the moral aversion they have for the film’s subject matter, but a spiritual one as well. In an interview with Jordan Peterson, Tim Ballard, and Jim Caviezel, Caviezel mentioned he ad-libbed a line in the film. When the pedophile “Ohinsky” is arrested a second time after coming to trust the Ballard character, Ballard says, “Better that a millstone be hung around your neck and you be cast into the sea than you should ever hurt one of these little ones.” He is referencing Christ’s words from the gospel of Matthew, and as Peterson says in the same interview, it is a fitting image, for it represents a severe punishment for an egregious crime. A crime that is done for a “sadistic and vengeful kick” and out of a “perverse delight” to transgress the most deeply held moral boundaries. It is “the violent sexual abuse of the most innocent possible person.”

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Pandolfo: Judge sets Donald Trump trial date in classified documents probe

The May 20, 2024, trial date is a compromise between a request from prosecutors to set the trial for this December and a request from defense lawyers to schedule it after the 2024 presidential election.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/ONE WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

Hohmann: Worldcoin CEO: Global Digital Currency Tied To Global Digital ID Will Soon Be Required ‘Whether You Like It Or Not’

This is no longer talked about in futuristic terms; it’s a current reality that will soon be forced on all of humanity. I’ve been saying for nearly three years now that the beast system is based on the world’s people accepting two technological components offered up by the Luciferian globalist elites: A globally recognized digital ID to replace the cards in your wallet and a globally recognized digital money to replace the cash in your wallet. The two together will comprise the foundation of the punitive global beast system. In a hat tip to Slay News, we learned the following today: The CEO of Worldcoin has warned that a global digital ID system will be ushered in for citizens around the world whether they “like it or not.” Worldcoin has developed a system that it pitches as “the world’s largest identity and financial public network.” Essentially, the company has created a database that links digital cash, or Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), with a digital identity system. […] Who owns Worldcoin, you ask? Its website says . . .

Hall: Ex-Google chief warns AI could displace humans for sex and love: Why would one ‘need another being?’

Former Google exec Mo Gawdat warned that artificial intelligence could lead to a “very significant redesign of love and relationships.” The ex-Google X chief business officer recently appeared on an episode of the “Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu” podcast, where the two discussed the future implications of AI simulating sex and relationships. “Just think about all of the illusions that we’re now unable to decipher illusion from truth, right? Sex happens in the brain at the end of the day, I mean, the physical side of it is not that difficult to simulate, okay? But if we can convince you that this sex robot is alive or that sex experience in a virtual reality headset or an augmented reality headset is real, then there you go,” Gawdat said. He then suggested of the future, “Go a few years further and think of Neuralink and other ways of connecting directly to your, uh, nervous system, and why would you need another being in the first place?”

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Solway: Why DeSantis Entering the Primaries Was a Big Mistake

In several earlier articles for PJ Media, I argued that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) should avoid entering the Republican nominating process for presidential elections. He needed, I proposed, to serve out his term as governor in order to consolidate the extraordinary gains he had made in establishing the state as a supermajority Republican stronghold. […] My argument generated considerable blowback from DeSantis sympathizers, who felt he would be a better 2024 presidential candidate than a prickly and controversial Donald Trump. But this pro-DeSantis, anti-Trump sentiment among many Republican voters failed to account for the obvious defects in proposing an early presidential run for the Florida governor. Briefly: . . . […] These are serious considerations. There are occasions when unreflected enthusiasm should be tempered. The ideal scenario, all things being equal, would have a maverick-minded, donor-free (and thus uncompromised) Trump in 2024 and a young and accomplished DeSantis in 2028, to the manifest benefit of both the country and state. “All the moderating institutions,” writes David Horowitz in Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last, “which were designed by the Founders to soften the edges of political conflict… are under siege by the Democrat Party and its supporters.” Trump, I believe, is fully capable of lifting the siege. The Party of Obama and Biden has been an unmitigated disaster for the nation; it demands a warrior like Trump and his MAGA “revolution” to bring much-needed relief. […] My sense of the situation is that DeSantis must have been misled by his advisors — a common political failing — who convinced him that his moment had come, that greatness had been thrust upon him. Left to his own devices, he may have resisted the lure.

Sundance: Ramaswamy Leaps Ahead of Shrinking DeSantis in National Republican Poll

Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has. Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race. According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.

Morris: Nikki Haley targets Confucius Institutes, but at least 2 operated in South Carolina when she was governor

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has repeatedly warned against China’s investments in the United States and American universities, despite at least two higher education institutions in South Carolina hosting language and culture programs operated by the Chinese Communist Party during her tenure as governor of the Palmetto State. Last month – during her remarks on foreign policy at the American Enterprise Institute – Haley took aim at China for “giving hundreds of millions of dollars” to American universities and warned of the dangers of Confucius Institutes, saying they are designed to “spread communist propaganda on college campuses.”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Doombos: Henry Kissinger, 100, meets Xi Jinping amid tense US-China relations

The 100-year-old former secretary of state met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday as US relations with Beijing continue their decline. Calling Kissinger an “old friend” for whom he has “great respect,” Xi said the visit by the former national security adviser held special significance because of Kissinger’s advanced age and his long history with China — a country the Germany-born diplomat has visited more than 100 times. “We will never forget our old friend and your historic contribution to promoting the development of Sino-US relations and enhancing the friendship between the Chinese and American peoples,” Xi said, according to state-run media CCTV.

(H/T DM) Newbold: Inconvenient Truths for the Next War

You would think that Congress, national security policymakers, and generals and admirals would have learned by now. You would think that after our nation has burned our hands on the national security stove so often and after filling Arlington National Cemetery to near capacity, it would awaken even the most callous or politically zealous to cause and effect. Spoiler alert: It hasn’t. This essay is for them. Those who create and govern our national security should be required to take a test. The test is simple, but note that the passing grade is 100%. “Describe the significance of the following events in recent American history: Kasserine Pass, the Doolittle Board, Task Force Smith and Project 100,000.” Answers to the test follow.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Greenfield: Burisma Needed the Bidens to Try to Buy a U.S. Gas Company

Senator Chuck Grassley has gotten and released the FD-1023, the confidential FBI document by a confidential informant alleging Biden misconduct in Ukraine, through whistleblowers, and it reveals some interesting things and fills in some missing pieces. First, why did Burisma want Hunter Biden on its board? The Ukrainian company was looking to make inroads into the U.S. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Burisma’s interest in purchasing a US-based oil end gas business, for purposes of merging it with Burisma for purposes of conducting an IPO in the US. Burisma was willing to purchase a US-based entity for $20-30 million. This is a really important piece of the puzzle. […] It would be interesting to see which businesses Hunter was advising Burisma to take over and whether any of them had ties to Biden donors or family members. We now also have a clear triangle between Hunter Biden, Burisma and the motive behind Joe Biden’s campaign against Viktor Shokin: a prosecutor who had been looking into Burisma. Hunter Biden needed Shokin gone so that Burisma could move into America, and the Biden family could profit.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON WOMEN

Luthi: Transgender Triple Murderer Harassing Women in California Prison, Inmates Say

Inmates at California’s largest women’s prison say a former transgender activist who was convicted of murdering a lesbian couple and their son has been making life miserable since his transfer to their housing unit. Dana Rivers shares a cell with several female inmates at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, where he was incarcerated last month. Women in Rivers’s housing unit say he ogles them, speaks demeaningly to them, and demands they push him around in his wheelchair. “Rivers has been a problem since he rolled in the door,” one inmate said in a message reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. “He is trying to control the women saying he gets to bypass everything—special treatment.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: IDENTITY POLITICS

Revolver.news: New York Times appears on board with South Africa’s “revenge” plan to eliminate whites…

Imagine flipping through the New York Times some morning and stumbling upon an article about racial wage gaps in South Africa, so you decide to start reading. All of a sudden, you realize that South Africa is thinking of eliminating “white people” to close the wage gab, and the New York Times doesn’t seem to have an issue with that… Well, that’s what really happened when Richard Hanania, a popular voice on Twitter, spotlighted this unsettling article by the NYT which had a very non-judgmental approach to the idea of “eliminating” white people to bridge this impossible economic gap. […] The meltdown in South Africa isn’t a natural disaster or a random fluke. It’s a choice. South Africa was the first modern nation to be refounded on the anti-white principles of Critical Race Theory, and now it is reaping the whirlwind of that choice. South Africa did everything that is being done in America right now. As a hyperdiverse multiethnic, multilingual society, South Africa has followed almost every prescription embraced by the globalist ruling class. This is about more than riots.

HISTORY 101

History.com: 1969 Moon Landing

On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin (1930-) became the first humans ever to land on the moon. About six-and-a-half hours later Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. As he took his first step, Armstrong famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” […] Aldrin joined him on the moon’s surface 19 minutes later, and together they took photographs of the terrain, planted a U.S. flag, ran a few simple scientific tests and spoke with President Richard Nixon (1913-94) via Houston.

By 1:11 a.m. on July 21, both astronauts were back in the lunar module and the hatch was closed. The two men slept that night on the surface of the moon, and at 1:54 p.m. the Eagle began its ascent back to the command module. Among the items left on the surface of the moon was a plaque that read: “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon—July 1969 A.D.—We came in peace for all mankind.”

DISNEYLAND & MAGIC KINGDOM MEET AMERICAN HEARTLAND!

Clayton: Disney’s Biggest Nightmare: Red State Building $2 Billion Theme Park That Rivals Magic Kingdom

The House of Mouse is getting some competition. It was announced Wednesday that over $2 billion will be spent to open American Heartland Theme Park and Resort in northeast Oklahoma. The proposed 125-acre park is comparable to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, located in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California. “The park will feature an Americana-themed environment with a variety of entertaining rides, live shows, family attractions, waterways as well as restaurant-quality food and beverage offerings,” the release said. […] The park is aiming for an opening date of fall 2026 and will be built in multiple stages. Stage one includes an RV park planned to open in spring 2025. […] The park’s design team is made up of over 20 former Disney Parks builders and Walt Disney Imagineers and together share “over 500 years of Disney and Entertainment experience.” […] American Heartland Founder and Chief Creative Officer Gene Bicknell made it clear the park is pro-U.S.A.

OTHER NEWS, COMMENTARY, OPINION

Margolis: FLASHBACK: When Democrats Were All About Rogue Electors

Earlier the week, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed charges against 16 people who signed paperwork claiming that President Donald Trump had won the 2020 election, after widespread accusations of voter fraud and irregularities went uninvestigated. The 16 Republican electors reportedly met in the basement of the state’s GOP headquarters, and, according to Nessel, signed multiple certificates claiming they were “the duly elected and qualified electors for president and vice president of the United States of America for the state of Michigan.” “That was a lie,” Nessel insisted. “They weren’t the duly elected and qualified electors, and each of the defendants knew it.” Now these electors face eight felony counts each. […] This act by Nessel reveals just how far the radical left will go to criminalize the questioning of election results that they won. Yet, how different is this from the effort by leftists back in 2016 who urged electors to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to stop Trump from taking office? It’s true. On Nov. 24, 2016, Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig argued in The Washington Post that electors should defy the will of the voters in their states and cast their Electoral College votes for Hillary, even though Trump had rightfully won. […] In 2004, John Kerry came close to contesting the election results in Ohio based on weak claims of problems with voting machines. Senate Democrats also didn’t want Ohio’s electoral votes to be counted and tried to delay certifying the results of the 2004 presidential election.

Durden: Video Of Deserted Mall And Streets In Downtown San Fran Reveals Democrats Destroyed City

A recent poll commissioned by Probolsky Research found 60% of voters in San Francisco “disapprove” of Mayor London Breed’s performance, and only 22% believe she deserves re-election. There’s plunging confidence among the business community that progressive leadership in the crime-ridden metro can revive the poop-infested downtown area. Businesses are closing up shops in droves, while some building owners have stopped payments on malls and hotels as the city’s economic recovery appears bleak.

Wilson: Upstate Motel Kicks Out Guests After NYC Moves Migrants In

The facility, a Super 8 motel in Rotterdam, kicked guests out without warning, including some in poverty, the Times Union reported. Officials reportedly had signed a contract with the hotel to house the migrants who originally were sent from Texas. “There are so many questions we have,” Rotterdam town supervisor Mollie Collins said. “Because we haven’t been given any information.” Some of those kicked out of their rooms were people who get assistance from the Department of Social Services in Montgomery County, a neighboring jurisdiction.

INTERNATIONAL

Bekdil: Erdoğan’s Most Eminent Men: Turkey’s New Spymasters

As Turkey’s post-election dust is settling down, the international community has turned its attention to two key appointments announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who on May 28 won his 17th election victory in 21 years, and entered his third decade in power. Turkey’s two key appointments are new foreign minister and former intelligence chief, Hakan Fidan; and the newly-appointed intelligence chief, Ibrahim Kalın, also an Erdoğan confidant. Both men have interesting and impressive careers. How both of them have become the only two people who make policy and share power with Erdoğan is illuminating, especially where their careers intersected under the president.
