Latest on Two National Disasters
Mississippi Tornado - Residents of tiny town hit by tornado reveal how TV meteorologist seen praying on-air saved them
Matt Laubhan, chief meteorologist for local TV station WTVA, struggled to contain his emotions as he gave a report of the tornado heading towards the town of Amory
“Oh man, north side of Amory, this is coming in,” Mr Laubhan told viewers, a note of urgency rising in his voice. As more detailed weather images emerged of the tornado’s path, he blurted out: “Dear Jesus, please help them, Amen.”
The three most important things in his life are listed in his bio: “God>Family>weather.”
“Without Matt and the tornado sirens, we would not have known anything bad was coming,” Ms Hubbard says. “Until it was too late.”
Pennsylvania Chocolate Factory Explosion -
7 killed in Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion, officials say
“Four more people have been found dead following a chocolate factory explosion in West Reading, Pennsylvania, last week, raising the death toll to seven, officials said Sunday night. All previously missing persons had been accounted for as of Sunday night.”
R.M. Palmer stmt: "Everyone at R.M.

J6 News
J6 News: 13 week trial for essentially trespassing
The FBI Use of Confidential Human Sources As Revealed in the Proud Boys Trial Is Cleary Over the Line“The Fact that it Continued After Trial Began Shows the Extent to Which Both DOJ and the FBI Have Adopted the Ethos of "The Ends Justifies the Means."
Note: Special Agent Spindel stated that Loh was “retained” as a Confidential Human Source ( by the San Antonio Field Office on April 19, 2021).
Patrick: “SA Spindel’s affidavit uses this specific word — a word I have never heard an FBI agent use to describe CHS recruitment. The word used within the vernacular of the Bureau is that new sources are “originated” or “opened” — not “retained.
Retained is a lawyer’s word, which leads me to suspect that SA Spindel’s affidavit was crafted for her by a DOJ or FBI Attorney."
Don’t Forget Arizona Rancher George Alan Kelly
Who, in our opinion, was wrongly arrested for defending his life and property from trespassing criminals.
Arizona Rancher Accused of Shooting Migrant Has Two Main Defense Options
“Kelly's defense team has said that he thought he was being besieged by armed traffickers, who he says have previously passed through his property while visibly armed.
Prosecution lowered Kelly's charge from first-degree murder to second [they think they are more likely to ‘win’ with the letter charge.”
Disinformation and Censorship Update
Disinformation Governance - Buh-bye?
Homeland Security Reorganizes, Appearing to Scrap Last Remnants of Ill-Fated "Disinformation Governance Board"No - It got rebranded as the 'Foreign Malign Influence Center’ “
“The FMIC quietly opened it’s doors in Sept 2022 It’s mission is identical to DHS Disinformation Governance Board FMIC mission is to counter “malign influence” that seeks to influence public opinion & behavior.”
Mike Benz, who joined the AM Grind a couple of weeks ago with Jason Fyk talks about the censorship industrial complex.
“An in-the-weeds conversation about the global Censorship Industrial Complex.”
Congress - From Federal To State
House Republicans pass broad education measure on ‘parents rights’
That will be as far as it will goTo Read: H.R. 5 - Parents Bill of Rights Act
REALLY read the “Amendments” section - Sort by Party
5 Republican Nays
Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).No Democrats voted in favor.
Senators won’t be allowed to hear, debate, vote on the bill.
“The legislation — which has already faced condemnation from the White House — will not be brought up on the other side of the Capitol, said Senate Majority Leader Schumer, who vowed Friday that the bill “will meet a dead end” in his chamber.”
HVAC New Regulations - How long until Biden denies he said this?
Biden Admin Now Going After Air Conditioners With New Regulations to "Reduce Nation's Carbon Footprint"Right to Work Laws Under Attack
‘Right to work’ in spotlight after Michigan tosses law aside“Right-to-work laws allow workers in unionized workplaces to decline to pay dues even if their wages, benefits and employment rules are set by a union contract. . . .right-to-work laws indicated just how much unions have declined in power. In 2022, just 10% of American workers belonged to a union, the lowest rate on record”
Reparations in CA, Newsom not so excited now.
Newsom falls silent after calls for him to take executive action on reparations“The California Reparations Task Force, which was created by state legislation signed by Newsom in 2020, is considering a proposal to give just under $360,000 per person to approximately 1.8 million Black Californians who had an ancestor enslaved in the U.S., putting the total cost of the program at about $640 billion.
The task force had initially proposed $220,000 per person for Black Californians last year but recently increased the figure by more than 60% to $360,000 as one of many ideas being mulled to give out reparations.”
President Biden vetoed the bipartisan bill to removal ESG ‘points’ when investing for Public Company Pensions
Unfortunately House Republicans fail to override Biden’s ESG veto“The vote was an attempt to revive a resolution targeting a Biden administration rule related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing. The chamber voted 219-200, with one Democrat voting with every Republican in favor of overriding the veto.”
Veterans Benefit Reduction
Bet plenty of people are not aware of this! Published in December of 2020 by #CBO here's the game plan to reduce #VA #DisabilityBenefits to #Veterans who are older than the full retirement gage for SS.

Change this fiasco… https://t.co/0XTSyA05Y4@RaffyPindaHouse Veterans benefits reduction https://t.co/N0Xazn9dTLScott Mtn Warrior 🇺🇸 @ScottW22574299

Israel’s people is not the only ones protesting

France ‘Working till we drop’: why women are on the front line of French pension protests

Kamala Harris to Africa:
Harris seeks to reset U.S.-Africa relations on 3-nation tour“Fearful that China has gained a huge economic foothold on the continent, the Biden administration is trying to not just loosen that grip but encourage more American businesses to invest in African nations.”
Russia moves nuclear weapons to Belarus*
Russia’s game of nuclear chess is worrisome, American officials say
[editor’s note: The article indicates the title and subtitle is disinformation!Reportedly, “Putin announced the plans to build a storage facility for nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus by July 1*.”
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby,
“We have not seen any indication that he’s made good on this pledge or moved any nuclear weapons around. We’ve, in fact, seen no indication he has any intention to use nuclear weapons, period, inside Ukraine.”
[editor’s note: Well, duh, Putin said by July 1st, not now]
US gets "tough" on China:
U.S. Responds to Increased Chinese Military Activity Around Taiwan“China ramps up military presence, threatening Taiwan.”
China and Russia conducted a joint military exercise last week
“Many American and Taiwanese officials and lawmakers believe increased attention is needed due to the potential of an abrupt attack by China’s authoritarian leader, similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.”
“The United States is not “clear about what deters China and what provokes China,” Bonnie S. Glaser, director of the Asia program at the German Marshall fund of the United States, said in a recent statement. “We need to think long and hard on how to strengthen deterrence.””

“The Standing Committee on Election Law is pleased to provide you with a list of pending and recent cases litigating election procedures for the 2020 election.
