We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Watching an interview on the church situation in Michigan (Ward Radio on YouTube) sounds like from a local man who know family and friends that was in the congregation there is estimated that there was 20-30 people stuck under the rubble in the fire, members of the church ran to help the man when he rammed the building and was being fired on, being a member of this faith during that time of the meeting first people he first would have been in contact with would have been young parents and toddles and babies as they don’t have nursery during the main meeting and sacrament was just passed so fussy kids are in the foyers at that time, heartbreaking, just watching what updates I can as it hits close to home, side note our president or prophet of our faith passed away last night, he was 101, so members were already grieving that loss. Just giving you what I am hearing as a member of that faith.
The church handbook says to not to carry guns in the church but typically there are a few that do anyway, typically police or prior military, when it was talked in the halls at our church, it was mentioned that at least our congregation typically has at least two people carrying at all times. Our worldwide meeting happens this coming weekend and I’m interested to see what church leaders will have to say about this and addressing changing of that handbook guideline for countries that can conceal carry.

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
