Wall Street is weighing the price ofwrecking institutions with scapegoat economics after Trump threatened to fire another Fed member.
Market volatility was caused by Trump firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook. The ousting adds noise but little substance compared with the Fed's longer-term policy pivots, according to Wharton's Jeremy Siegel. President Trump announced his plan to fire another member of the Federal Open Market Committee. Many on Wall Street think that the case of accountability for Fed voting members is due to further White House interference. The move came after Bill Pulte, the head of the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie and Freddie, was removed from his position. Cook hit back at the questions, saying in a statement: "I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet." The White House was incensed by the decision to hold the base rate at its current level of 4.25% to 4.5%, and Cook has so far backed the majority of the FOMC in the decision. It has angered Trump so much that he threatened to fire Powell for his "Too Late" approach to the base rate....

The US Open's signature cocktail faces stiff competition.
The U.S. Open is officially underway and already off to a wild start after Sunday night's match between Benjamin Bonzi and Daniil Medvedev was delayed as Medvedev argued with the chair umpire, but some of the fiercest battles won't happen on the court. A wave of new cocktails is challenging the dominance of the Honey Deuce, which is a vodka, lemonade and raspberry liqueur cocktail. More than 556,000 of the cult-favorite cocktails were sold last year. Since they were first sold in 2007, they have been sold over two million times. The creator of the Honey Deuce told Fox News Digital last year that it has become a cultural icon. It has helped cement the Open as one of the buzziest sporting events of the year. "Seventy percent of the fans are just loaded and just absolutely drunk," joked top American tennis star Frances Tiafoe in a 2023 interview. Seven beverage brands are part of the Open's 25 official partners, showing how central food and drinks have become to the fan experience....

Trump moves to fire a Fed official.
Donald Trump moved to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook.

Is President Trump's tariffs actually working?
The Congressional Budget Office released a new report on Friday. Republican presidents and Congresses are not thought to be friends of the "CBO". Questions always arise from supply-siders about whether CBO rejects serious "dynamic scoring" of developments in the law and in major regulatory actions. The report on the Trump tariffs was issued at the end of last week. If the higher tariffs persist, the CBO believes that the primary deficits will decrease by $3.3 trillion. By reducing the need for federal borrowing, the tariffs collections will also reduce federal outlays for interest. The changes in tariffs will result in a reduction in the total deficits. The report is here....

Democrats face off over the war in Gaza during the DNC summer meeting.
The Democrats opened their summer meeting in Minnesota on Monday with calls for unity against President Donald Trump, even as internal divisions threaten to erupt. "We are unified towards one single goal: to stop Donald Trump and put this country back on track," DNC Chair Ken Martin declared when he addressed the more than 400 elected party officials from all 50 states and seven territories as the summer meeting kicked off in his home state of Minnesota. While Democrats appeared united in their drive to counter the sweeping and controversial moves by Trump during his first seven months in the White House, divisions among the committee members may flare on Tuesday. The war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas and limiting dark money in presidential politics will be on the agenda when the DNC's Resolutions Committee meets. Competing symbolic resolutions over the war in Gaza will be voted on by a panel. More than 1,200 people were killed in Israel during the initial attack by Hamas, with over 250 people taken hostage. Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military response to the attack. The Democratic Party's support for Israel has splintered amid the bloodshed....

Trump banned flag burning after years of rioting.
The White House described the practice of burning the American flag as "uniquely offensive and provocative" after President Donald Trump signed an executive order. "My administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to the American flag and prosecute those who violate our laws while doing so, to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority," the order says. There have been more instances of public flag burning leading up to Monday's order. There have been several flag burnings recently. During the recent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, people burned American flags in protest of Trump's immigration policies. The move enraged Trump, who vowed during a speech to troops at Fort Bragg to ensure it didn't happen again. These animals carry the flags of other countries. The American flag is not carried by them....

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has fast times.
Two tricked-out ICE vehicles roll around on the National Mall in a video produced by the Department of Homeland Security. The White House, the Washington Monument, and the U.S. Capitol are all within walking distance of the Lincoln Memorial. The president is stenciled in all caps on the tinted glass of the pickup. DaBaby asked what he looked like with all the money. The 29-second spot, which was shared on social media earlier this month, treats ICE's new taxpayer-funded fleet like flashy bling, but it's a declaration that the president's mass-deportation campaign is. The transformation of ICE from an agency focused on legalistic immigration procedures into a political instrument and propaganda tool can be seen in the video. In major U.S. cities where they are loathed by many, most ICE officers and agents prefer to work in plain clothes, focus on finding immigrants who are known criminals, and keep a low profile. Agency veterans told me that driving around in wrapped vehicles makes them a target for protesters, vandals, and attackers....

It is a difficult balance to achieve. To wake up to the reality of the matrix, to uncover the truth, to focus on the type of life you deserve, to not allow the matrix to absorb your energy, to bring you down, or to stop you from focusing on the type of life and existence you now know you deserve The constant noise, mindless entertainment, ongoing conflicts, and endless political show takes away from your ability to focus on what really matters. Don't let the world stage distract you from your quest for strength, connection and spirituality. We have to make sure to focus our energy on becoming the solution rather than paying attention to the problem. When we stop looking outside of ourselves for signs of change, the change will happen within us because we have understood that our reality is a consequence of our inner state of being. When we become the beings that match that reality, the future we seek will come true. If we want to experience our desired future, we have to start vibrating in the frequencies of that reality....

The image above was taken from a nursing textbook excerpt. If a nurse or doctor suspects that a parent may not bring their child back for follow-up visits, they are encouraged to inject the child with multiple vaccines at the same time. The child doesn't need them in that moment. The system fears that the parents might hesitate, delay, or refuse later, so it is safer that way. They say it is safe to give several shots in one sitting. stacking them together increases the risk because every single one of these injections is dangerous in its own right. It overloads a newborn or a child's immune system, it increases the toxic load, and it ignores the principle of informed parental consent. This is a crime....

News from Russia
NOTE: By giving readers a glimpse into the Russian narrative, this section strives to humanize the country and its people, revealing that there is more to Russia than the sensationalized headlines and simplistic caricatures that frequently dominate Western news cycles. This nuanced perspective enables European readers to better understand Russia's complexities, interests, and concerns, ultimately fostering a more informed and balanced discourse on international relations and global affairs.
The EU has an advantage in war and deficit policies.
The European Union, once considered a bastion of peace and prosperity, is entering a new era according to analysts. Behind the rhetoric of security, they see a project shaped by US pressure, rising defense costs, and what critics call a betrayal of European citizens. The EU's once-proud welfare model is being sacrificed for defense, with member states considering allocating up to 5% of GDP to military expenditures. The shift is not based in an independent European vision but in external pressure from Washington, whose defense industry stands to benefit the most. NATO risks losing credibility and reducing Europe to a lesser role under US strategy if NATO leadership promotes speculative threats to instill fear.
