Hundreds of racist plant names will change after historic vote by botanists
Scientific designations containing a racial slur will be altered — the first time that any species names have been adjusted because of the offence they cause. - Ewen Callaway
- For the first time, researchers have voted to eliminate scientific names of organisms because they are offensive.
- Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa.
- The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra...
Economic Warning Signals Are Emanating From Major Banks
Are We on Verge of Stagflation? Peter St. Onge 
Two of America’s biggest banks just warned of incoming disaster.
The warnings come from JP Morgan, whose CEO Jamie Dimon warns that inflation will stay higher for longer than markets think, driven by massive federal deficits.
The warnings come from JP Morgan, whose CEO Jamie Dimon warns that inflation will stay higher for longer than markets think, driven by massive federal deficits.
- He warns this higher inflation would also keep interest rates high, which could crash smaller companies who are running out of cash. It would also keep mortgages and credit cards at rates slightly higher than the mafia charges.
- The second warning comes from Citigroup, which put out a new report predicting what Zerohedge calls a “rate-cut bomb”—a near-panicked series of 10 interest-rate cuts starting in a few months and running all the way to next July.
That’s something that only happens when the economy careens into recession, when the Fed desperately pumps rescue meds—that is, rate cuts—to an economy that’s flat-lined.
- Put them together, and Dimon thinks inflation will keep running.
- Citi thinks the economy will collapse.
We have a name for that—stagflation.
Biden confirms plans to 'end the separation of powers' in American government * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Biden confirms plans to 'end the separation of powers' in American government * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
In comments that prompted a headline warning about his plans to "end the separation of powers" in the U.S. Constitution and "impose his own rules on the Supreme Court," Joe Biden promised Americans in his final months as president he is calling for the court to be changed up.
Democrats and other leftists and liberals have been enraged by the court over the past couple of years, following President Donald Trump's appointment of three relatively conservative justices, because the decisions have not come down the way they want.
Science Under Attack
"If it [a scientific hypothesis] disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG." – Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman - The Scientific Reality of the Quest for Net Zero 
- Often lost in the lemming-like drive toward Net Zero is the actual effect that reaching the goal of zero net CO2 emissions by 2050 will have.
A new paper published by the CO2 Coalition demonstrates how surprisingly little warming would actually be averted by adoption of Net-Zero policies...
If the U.S. were to achieve Net Zero on its own by 2050, the averted warming would be a tiny 0.034 degrees Celsius (0.061 degrees Fahrenheit)...
Michael Kelly...has calculated that the cost of a Net-Zero economy by 2050 in the U.S. alone will be at least $35 trillion, and this does not include the cost of educating the necessary skilled workforce.

- Professor Kelly says the target is simply unattainable..
Secret Service allegedly 'repeatedly denied' offer to use drones leading up to Trump assassination attempt | Blaze Media
Secret Service allegedly 'repeatedly denied' offer to use drones leading up to Trump assassination attempt | Blaze Media:
In the letter, Hawley noted that the gunman had used a drone to survey the area around the rally ahead of the event, a fact which was confirmed by FBI Director Christopher Wray yesterday during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
More than two hours before the attempted assassination, the shooter flew the drone for roughly 11 minutes, approximately 200 yards from the stage, Wray said.
"This raises an obvious question: why was the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) not using its own drones?" Hawley asked Mayorkas.
Michigan's electricity forecast looks grim
Decreasing supply and increasing demand spell high prices and blackouts
An upcoming Mackinac Center report will explore the danger posed to Michigan’s energy grid by the state’s rushed transition to weak alternative power sources.

FBI Director Again Warns the Open Southern Border Is a Major Threat
FBI Director Christopher Wray again stressed the dangers an overwhelmed, open southern border and chaotic illegal immigration system poses to the United States - Katie Pavlich 
- "The physical security of the border is of course not in the FBI's lane but as the threat has escalated we're working with out partners in law enforcement to find and stop foreign terrorists who would harm Americans and our interests," he continued.
- "As concerning as the known or suspected terrorists encountered at the border are, perhaps even more concerning are those we do not yet know about because they provided fake documents or because we didn't have information connecting them to terrorism at the time they arrived in the United States."...
Election Interference: GovTrack Deletes Its Page On Kamala As “Most Liberal of All U.S. Senators
“The cover up is on!”
All hands are on deck to rewrite recent history in an effort to drag Kamala over the finish line.
All hands are on deck to rewrite recent history in an effort to drag Kamala over the finish line.
As Stacey noted, Axios is busily debunking itself in service to the potential Democrat ticket, and now we are learning that GovTrack is just plain deleting its own report on Kamala which “ranked [her] the most liberal of all Senators.”
House voter registration plan offers a key safeguard | Blaze Media
House voter registration plan offers a key safeguard | Blaze Media:
The argument that the SAVE Act is superfluous because illegal voter registration is already unlawful is bogus. The bill would ensure that states enforce the law.
The U.S. House of Representatives on July 10 passed a bill to prevent states from allowing noncitizens to vote in federal elections. The legislation passed 221-198, with only five Democrats voting yes. The vote highlights a stark difference between the two major political parties in their respect for the rule of law and the integrity of the election process.
Hamas Lovers Hit New Low in D.C. Protest GRAYSON BAKICH
So you saw the latest batch of Hamas lovers burning American flags, releasing maggots, and vandalizing our monuments in Washington, D.C., recently since Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited. 
"...But then again, we have seen the conduct of these Hamas lovers since October when their idols raped, murdered, immolated, and kidnapped 1,200 Israelis just minding their own business and enjoying a music festival.
Back in March, I wrote about how some Hamas lovers crashed a meeting of the Federalist Society at Georgetown Law School, holding up palms covered in fake blood, seemingly celebrating the murders of IDF reservists Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Nurzhitz in 2000, who accidentally walked into Ramallah and were quickly murdered by a lynch mob.

- We can only wonder what stunt these Hamas lovers will do next.
- Draw a Judensau?
- Burn effigies of Jews or Bibi Netanyahu?
- Start performing actual pogroms?
- Anything is possible in America after this past couple of years.

Secret Service agent Dan Bongino Trump near assassination | Blaze Media
Secret Service agent Dan Bongino Trump near assassination | Blaze Media:
“Why was President Trump on ... what we would call the X? Why was he out on the podium at all” considering they “knew there was a threat up to an hour out, potentially 18 minutes out?” he asks, adding that “there is absolutely zero chance the command post did not get information that they were working a suspicious male surveilling the outside of the perimeter with a rangefinder.”
“They just let the line-of-site threat exist, and the countersurveillance vulnerability assessment — which is a piece of paperwork the countersurveillance team looks at — will show that they knew that was a vulnerability and yet they did nothing about it,” he continues. “They basically let him get shot.”
Biden Administration Launches A Great Leap Forward Into Green Energy
Probably very few readers here are old enough to remember China’s “Great Leap Forward.” - Francis Menton 
...Yesterday the Biden Administration launched a significant new climate initiative with a design that has some remarkable resemblances to the Great Leap Forward.
Since most readers probably don’t know how the Great Leap Forward worked out, I’ll save that for the end of the post.
The new Biden Administrative initiative is called “Community-Driven Solutions to Cut Climate Pollution Across America.”..
But the “community-driven” tag line here is what brings the memory of the Great Leap Forward.

But the “community-driven” tag line here is what brings the memory of the Great Leap Forward.
- The basic idea is that the new investments and technologies to transform our energy economy are going to come from federal selection and subsidizing of various projects originating out of state and local governments, otherwise known as “communities.”..
- Enough of the outmoded idea that the way to an efficient and reliable energy system is through profit-driven businesses competing with each other to find the most cost-effective solutions.
- The new idea is that local governments, aka “communities,” run the economy, directed and supported by some lavish funding from the feds...
Local CBS News Outlet Might Have Dropped the Biggest Lie About Kamala Harris Thus Far
the gaslighting over the vice president’s promotion of a fund that paid to bailout left-wing agitators in 2020 might be the most brazen. - Matt Vespa
The ‘border czar’ scrubbing and the nuking of her GovtTrack page is egregious, no doubt, but the gaslighting over the vice president’s promotion of a fund that paid to bailout left-wing agitators in 2020 might be the most brazen.

- Harris’s tweet is still live, with the link to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
- Esme Murphy of CBS Minnesota dropped this short story on it, though there’s a video of Murphy interviewing Harris about this matter four years ago:
Border Patrol Agents Ordered to Put on a 'Show,' Clear Streets of Migrants Before Kamala Harris' First Trip to the Border: Report
Border Patrol Agents Ordered to Put on a 'Show,' Clear Streets of Migrants Before Kamala Harris' First Trip to the Border: Report:
Border Patrol agents were instructed to clean up the border and put on a “show” for Vice President Kamala Harris’ first trip to the border, according to a new report.
Despite being given broad license at and beyond the border as the so-called “border czar,” Harris’ first and only visit to the border came in June 2021.
Now it’s becoming clear that even this brief visit did not give the vice president a true look at the crisis sill unfolding at the border.
