USA - This was a miracle. God intervened and protected President Trump. President Trump told former White House physician Dr Ronny Jackson that a last millisecond head tilt saved his life after a gunman opened fire on him from an elevated position at his Pennsylvania rally. Trump told Dr Jackson that he turned his head to the right to look at a chart on illegal immigration statistics when a bullet grazed his ear. “That chart that I was going over saved my life,” Trump said to Ronny Jackson by phone just hours after the attempted assassination, according to The New York Times. “The border patrol saved my life,” he said. “If I hadn’t pointed at that chart and turned my head to look at it, that bullet would have hit me right in the head.”

USA - Former Navy Seal and Blackwater founder Erik Prince gave a detailed assessment of yesterday's Secret Service debacle in the wake of a failed assassination attempt on former President Trump. "Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans," Prince posted to X. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).

USA - The people that guard our leaders are supposed to be the most highly trained security personnel in the world. So how could something like this have happened? As I mentioned in a previous article, I have been trying to put the pieces together. To me, it appears that we either just witnessed incompetence on an epic scale or something more insidious was going on out there. The American people deserve answers, and hopefully we will get them. There is no way that this shooting would have happened the way that it did if competent people were running the show. I have been digging into what many of the experts have been saying about this incident, and there is so much that just doesn’t make sense. So I have compiled a list of 10 burning questions that every American should be asking about the Trump shooting…

USA - The trigger in the gun was pulled by many hands! The media tried to assassinate Trump. The press was and is merciless. They have mocked him and attacked, slandered and defamed him, but they have not taken him out. The Democrats have tried to assassinate Trump. They called him illegitimate, they called him a tyrant... Women of a certain ilk have tried to assassinate him. Oh, the sordid sex tales. Rape in a dressing room in Bergdorf Goodmans! Have you ever shopped there? It is literally impossible. Staff watch those rooms like hawks. The police would have been immediately called and the falsely accused Trump might have been hauled out in handcuffs. But the event would surely not have gone unnoticed at the time.

USA - With around 270,000 homes and businesses still without power in the Houston area almost a week after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas, Governor Greg Abbott on Sunday said he’s demanding an investigation into the response of the utility that serves the area as well as answers about its preparations for upcoming storms. “Power companies along the Gulf Coast must be prepared to deal with hurricanes, to state the obvious,” Abbott said at his first news conference about Beryl since returning to the state from an economic development trip to Asia. While CenterPoint Energy has restored power to about 2 million customers since the storm hit on July 8, the slow pace of recovery has put the utility, which provides electricity to the nation’s fourth-largest city, under mounting scrutiny over whether it was sufficiently prepared for the storm that left people without air conditioning in the searing summer heat.

UK - Teachers in the UK have reportedly been told to present the history of the British Empire similarly to the horrors of Nazi Germany. So-called “anti-racist” guidance said to be offered to teachers in the UK has argued that both Nazi Germany and the British Empire should be presented as powers that “committed atrocities” and that teachers should refrain from offering students information about the historical goods done by the Empire. According to The Telegraph, the guidance produced by “The Key” school support organisation stated that schools should “teach colonialism as ‘invading and exploiting’ other countries, and present the British Empire as you would other global powers that committed atrocities, eg Nazi Germany”.

ISRAEL - The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) discovered a command center this week used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists within the Gaza City headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Israel has long insisted that UNRWA supports terrorism in general, and maintains that several UNRWA employees participated directly in the October 7 terror attack. Terrorists have repeatedly used UNRWA facilities to launch attacks and store weapons. In February, the IDF revealed that it had found a Hamas command center underneath Shifa Hospital. Several countries suspended funding for UNRWA after reports emerged of UNRWA participating in the October 7 attack; but several have since restored it.

USA - Eyewitness report by TOM NEWTON DUNN working for the Times: "When the first shots rang out, there was silence. Then, the screaming started. It was just after ten past six on Saturday evening at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. We and tens of thousands of others had been waiting for hours in the 35C heat to hear Donald Trump speak. When he finally took to the stage, at 6.04pm, the crowd, many of them dressed in red Maga hats, cheered and whooped as he started speaking, about 50 metres from us. Then a volley of jarring sounds cut through the summer air: high-pitched rattles that sounded like firecrackers. Everyone looked around, and just for a moment, there was a deadly quiet. Secret Service agents clad in black suits jumped on Trump and pulled him to the ground. An instant later, the crowd of about 30,000 realised what had happened.

USA - The attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which opens a dark new chapter in America’s cursed story of political violence, shook a nation already deeply estranged during one of the most tense periods of its modern history. The targeting of a former president at a campaign rally just days before he accepts the Republican nomination is, by definition, an attack on democracy and the right of each American to choose their leaders.

USA - CNN’s [first] headline after assassination attempt on Trump is exactly why nobody trusts Corporate Media. Donald J Trump, and former and likely future President of the United States, had an assassination attempt against him but fake news CNN decided to go with THIS as their headline: “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally”. We confirmed this was real before they edited it. Some may argue that media must confirm all facts before making statements, but they’re extremely selective with when they’re “careful” about what they report. In fact, they’ll often report false information such as “white supremacists” as mass murderers before changing their story later. This is the point when I would normally go into a long analysis of the degradation of trust in corporate media, but I won’t. You don’t need to be told why they hate America and despise the truth.

UK - Half the cabinet, including Sir Keir Starmer, chose the non-religious option to profess allegiance to the King. When Alastair Campbell said “we don’t do God”, it was because he knew that Tony Blair very much did. But as Sir Keir Starmer becomes the first atheist prime minister for decades, Britain has elected the most irreligious parliament in history. Forty per cent of MPs chose to make a secular affirmation rather than a religious oath on being sworn into the Commons this week, up from 24 per cent at the start of the last parliament in 2019. Half of the cabinet, including Starmer, took the non-religious option to profess allegiance to the king as Britain elected the first parliament as godless as the nation at large.

USA - When you’ve got one last shot at proving to your detractors that you’re definitely not senile or it might be the end of the world as we know it, there are probably better ways to start than to stare Volodymyr Zelensky lovingly in the eyes and call him “President Putin”. That should maybe matter more than a slip of the presidential tongue, but it doesn’t. Tens of billions of dollars of weapons may not end up doing anywhere near as much damage as that short but seismic moment of parapraxis. It will surely be the end of him, even though no one seems to have come up with a better idea. Even before this, Biden’s world was falling apart around him, as George Clooney defenestrated him via The New York Times.

TAIWAN - Raymond Greene has taken the post as the head of the American Institute in Taiwan, making him the de facto US ambassador. On Wednesday, the new head of the US’s de facto embassy in Taiwan vowed to President William Lai Ching-te that the US would provide strong military support for the island amid rising tensions between Washington and Beijing. “First of all, and the most important thing, the US will strongly support Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities,” said Greene, who took his post as the head of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) on Monday. “We both have common and long-term interests in peace and stability over the Taiwan Strait. The United States no longer sees Taiwan as a ‘problem’ in our relations with China, we see it as an opportunity to advance our shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific.” A “free and open Indo-Pacific” is a term the US has employed in recent years that essentially means a region where the US is the dominant military power and has more influence than China.

UK - The UK’s most popular supermarket chain Aldi has started rolling out new insect-based “foods” as alternatives to meat. The discount grocery store chain Aldi is planning to sell edible insect recipe kits for families who are struggling to buy real meat. The company says the move will help consumers meet the daily protein needs of families amid soaring food prices. In recent years, globalists such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Bill Gates have been promoting bugs such as crickets as a cheap and sustainable form of protein. Aldi is currently investigating which insect-based products it could stock as a replacement for meat. The company is planning to stock products by Yum Bug, which manufactures insect recipe kits.

NORTH KOREA - Kim Jong-un's sister and right-hand woman warned the United States had "crossed the red line." North Korea has reignited fears of a potential war in Asia as the rogue nation issued a chilling new threat to the United States and a major ally in the region. Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo Jong slammed Washington and South Korea for recent military drills, claiming the two allies had "crossed the red line." Ms Kim said: "The war maniacs should judge by themselves what result such desperate war drill hysteria would bring in the end." Tensions between the the two countries have been at boiling point for months, as South Korea repeatedly condemned the Kim regime for a series of missile test launches. The North, on the other hand, warned routine military exercises with the United States are a provocative act and warned Seoul could face dire consequences if the drills continued.
