Capital One's $50.6 billion acquisition of Discover may have created a loophole in the Durbin Amendment that limits debit-card interchange fees because Discover's payment network is now owned directly by the bank rather than operated by a third party like Visa or Mastercard. The loophole could allow Capital One to charge merchants higher interchange fees, potentially increasing costs that could be passed on to consumers through higher prices. The possibility has prompted major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and PNC Financial Services Group, to explore acquiring their own payment networks, although concerns about political, regulatory, and merchant backlash have kept discussions preliminary and left uncertainty over whether any deals will move forward.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham dies after a sudden illness at age 71

Lindsey supported Ukraine and the war against Russia.

Not to pile on, but let’s not make the man a saint just because he’s dead.

Nobody’s perfect. 🫡

July 10-13, 2026
Kyiv, Ukraine.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
Chronology of events.

On the evening of July 10, 2026, Graham arrives at the SkyFall drone manufacturing plant of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kyiv, located on Post-Volynska Street.

During the night of July 10-11, the plant was struck by a ballistic missile attack from the Russian Armed Forces. Enemy sources complained that the alarm was only activated after the attack.

On July 12, 2026, Graham's death is announced.

On July 13, 2026, it is announced that Graham will be buried in a closed coffin.

/A direct hit.

Delegation of the t.iss.one domain has been suspended.

The delegation of the t.iss.one domain (which is used by the Telegram messenger for short links) has been unexpectedly suspended.

According to the "serverHold" status, the decision was not made by the registrar GoDaddy, but by the operator of the .me domain zone itself.

Gradually, as the DNS cache expiration time passes, the domain will stop resolving, and t.iss.one links will cease to function.

Official comments from Telegram representatives are currently unavailable.

This is a great drop by Spencer Pratt. In his typical, no bullshit way, he explains why there is no salvaging his campaign, breaks down how the cheating happens and foreshadows the investigation he believes will bring real justice.

If nothing else, this is a great explanation of how cheating is baked into the cake.

☝Reflecting on the current state of elections, one rebuttal I have been given from faithful, patriotic Christians working in elections is - in rural areas, we need mail-in, drop boxes, etc...because it is too far to travel to a polling place to vote in-person on election day.

This reflects our culture. We demand easy, "frictionless", convenience as THE controlling factor in our systems. Over accuracy. Over legitimacy.

As Christians, we know in our hearts that in this world, we will encounter "friction", hardship, suffering and sacrifice.

The question before us: to restore and preserve this Republic which God's Providence has given us - are we willing to "suffer" as we sacrifice time and effort once every two years to preserve legitimacy of our elections and ensure that the will of American citizens, "We the People" is truthfully reflected?

EZAZ.org Update -- My apologies. We have to cancel the Boss Your Government call tonight.

The BIG news is Recorder Justin Heap won big on his settlement agreement with the Board of Supervisors. He got all of his statutory duties plus $20 million to set up his departments, including IT.
