HOW TO OVERCOME OUR OLD, LIMITING BELIEFS

Dr. Joel Wade June 30, 2026

Have you ever felt that in striving toward a goal of some kind, that there’s something holding you back? Something that you can’t see or grasp clearly, but you feel it’s there, slowing you down—like you just can’t get traction?

This is something that most of us have experienced to one degree or another.

Maybe we find we hit a wall with how much income we earn; or we find a pattern in our relationships that limits our sense of closeness; or we feel there’s some obstacle in our work that we can’t seem to overcome.

It can feel like there’s a threshold that we can’t seem to cross, no matter how hard we try. We struggle to improve whatever it is, but it’s as though there’s something working against us, like a gravitational pull that keeps drawing us back within a certain range.

When this happens, what we may be experiencing is the effect of a rotten belief.

SCOTUS OVERTURNS THE CASE THAT CREATED THE DEEP STATE

Rod D. Martin June 30, 2026

This morning [6-29-26], in a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the President may fire FTC commissioners at will, overruling Humphrey's Executor and holding that the FTC's for-cause removal protections violate the Constitution's separation of powers.

For the first time in 90 years, Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution is restored. The blow to the Deep State is crippling.

The case is Trump v. Slaughter, which you can read in full here. But the essential portion is this, from page 35-36: “Our Constitution creates three branches, but only one President. That President is not all-powerful—not by any means. But he is not impotent either. He and he alone is vested with ‘the executive Power’ of the United States.”

The majority continued: “If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it.”

Trump v. Slaughter squarely asked the Supreme Court to admit what has been obvious since 1935: Humphrey’s Executor was a constitutional disaster. If you’ve heard of the case, you might think it’s about Trump firing an FTC commissioner. That’s not the question.

THE IDEAL ESCAPE HATCH

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 30, 2026

What would be an ideal place to escape from all the lunacy washing over our country – for a few days to a second home?

Let’s see… it would have to be a First World country with all the civilized amenities of modern life, and a cultured, educated, and welcoming people many, many of whom speak English.

A First World country that brushes aside all Woke nuttiness engulfing the US as silly rubbish to be ignored, and traditional Christian family values revered instead. That is not much farther away than a US cross-country flight. That has Goldilocks weather, not too hot, not too cold. That has sunsets in the ocean, fabulous food and wine, incredible castles in the sky, history that’s thousands of years old yet so hip and current it’s the cultural capital of its continent.

We’ve had Glimpses of this place before: The Europe Tahat’s Still There, and The Portuguese Riviera. Yes, the Ideal Escape Hatch for us is Portugal – a quick overnight flight getting there, a morning flight return.

Rebel and I have conducted a Portugal Exploration many times for TTPers. I'm sure we will do it again. You owe it to yourself to be entranced by this ideal place. (Glimpses of our Breathtaking World #157 ©photo Jack Wheeler)

THE DEMOCRAT DEATH CULT

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 29, 2026

[This Monday’s Archive was in TTP on July 1, 2016. Ten years later, the Democrats are more of a death cult than ever. What can each of us do to help our POTUS get rid of them?]

TTP, July 1, 2016

Tana Toraja, Sulawesi, Indonesia. There couldn’t be a more appropriate and exotic place to discuss death cults than here. In the distant highlands of central Sulawesi undiscovered by any Westerner until little over a century ago, are a people called the Toraja who take propitiation of their deceased ancestors to a limit unmatched anywhere else.

Yet most interestingly, the Toraja have combined their ancestor worship with a devout Christianity. Tana Toraja (the Land of the Toraja) is a Christian haven within the world’s largest Islamic population. Churches here are as plentiful as mosques elsewhere in Indonesia, while a giant statue of Christ towers above Tana Toraja high on a mountaintop.

The Toraja are a people with deep pride and confidence in the worth of their culture. If there were anyone among them who lacked that pride and confidence, who felt ashamed and apologetic of their culture, they would be despised. If that someone felt so ashamed and apologetic that they wished and worked for their culture’s destruction, they would be regarded as demented.

There are such people among us, among our fellow Americans. There is a name for these people: Democrats. And it is critically important to understand something fundamental about them.

THE SPIRAL CHURCH OF UVEA

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 29, 2026

Halfway between Samoa and Fiji in the South Pacific lies the French Territory of Wallis and Futuna. It’s so hard to reach I had to charter a King Air private plane to get here in 2016. The capital is Mata-Utu on Wallis Island which the native Polynesian islanders call Uvea. French missionaries arrived at Uvea in 1837 to convert the islanders to Roman Catholic Christianity. They were Marist Brothers, a branch of the Society of Mary. Today, 99% of the native islanders are Catholic.

The spiral church you see, Église du Sacré-Coeur (Church of the Sacred Heart) was built in the early 1900s out of hand-cut volcanic rocks . The interior is spectacular, and if you look high up on the fourth tier you’ll see a figure in an opening. That’s a statue of Jesus with arms outstretched in welcome to all who worship here. The islanders consider themselves French citizens with representation in both the French Senate and National Assembly in Paris. At the same time they consider themselves ruled by their own king – the King of Uvea (Wallis) and the King of Sigave (Futuna), which the French government recognizes. This is a peaceful, friendly, interesting place. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #299, photo ©Jack Wheeler)

HALF-FULL REPORT 06/26/26

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 26, 2026

“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it… But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.” -- Argentine President Javier Milei

On Tuesday (6/23), New York Democrats elected two Socialist Nazis and another borderline-so to be their Congressional candidates this November. Their districts (7^th, 10^th, 13^th) are so deep Dem they are shoo-ins. Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez are 30-something nobodies who’ve never had a real job, accomplished nothing in their lives except being unhinged “activists”, and are Hate America/Hate Israel/Hate Jews Nazis (the truthful label for someone being rabidly “Pro-Palestinian”).

The third, Brad Lander, is just another run-of-the-mill sleazy Dem local politician who’s been around for decades and says what’s needed to be elected. He’s Jewish but since the district he’s running for has both lots of Jews and Moslems he pretzels himself in appeals to both. The “Hateful” label the NY Post applies to him doesn’t fit like it clearly does the other two. Actually, the incumbent Congresscritter Brad took out on Tuesday, Dan Goldman (D-NY) has made a career out of his unrelenting hate for Donald Trump – why many residents of MAGA-land are cheering his loss. . Especially this resident:So – does this mean Democratic Socialism aka Democratic Fascism is going to sweep across America now? Read on to find out! LOTS more good news in this HFR!

GET READY TO CRY TEARS OF JOY FOR AMERICA

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 22, 2026

Folks, we’re skipping an Archive this Monday for the most viral event on Earth taking place right now. That is an overwhelming deluge of lengthy videos on YouTube and short vid clips on X documenting and celebrating scores of thousands of World Cup fans from all over the world having their minds totally blown by how amazing, unbelievable, friendly, patriotic, and flat-out wonderful America is.

Frankly, I’m having a difficult time writing this as so much of this deluge is making me cry. I can’t stop the tears of joy for my country. We see so much woke media garbage focusing on the woke psychos who hate our country – and all of a sudden, thanks to this flood of World Cup fans coming here for the first time after having their minds messed up by the same media garbage in their own countries and experiencing with their own eyes the reality of what America actually is, we get to see that reality too.

This is an epochal event, world-changing. What has happened over the last several days and is happening as you read this is causing a “vibe-shift” in how countless millions all over our planet emotionally feel about America. From negative to positive. Not about Trump or politics or news events. Something far deeper: how they feel in their hearts about America, not about how they think in their brains, which, truth be told, for most people is a collection of randomly assembled memorized slogans. For now, those slogans may change for the good.

Here’s a sample of YouTube vids and X posts. You’re going to love them…

SCHEDULE F IS BACK – TRUMP’S LATEST ASSAULT ON THE DEEP STATE

Jeffrey Tucker June 24, 2026

Quietly, and with no great fanfare, President Donald Trump has resurrected the most innovative strategy of his first term.

In fact, I’ve argued that this one measure is the single most creative approach to government reform to advance in a century.

Trump’s executive order creates a new category for federal employment, set to apply to any civil servant who is working on policy and its implementation. It’s a resurrection of a similar executive order from late in his first term — promptly reversed by President Joe Biden — and the finalization of another announced in the earliest days of Trump’s second term.

What this means is rather dramatic. It brings the public sector, or at least part of it, to fit with the usual labor practices of the private sector.

This helps restore some part of people’s government. The people elect a president. The president can control employment in the executive branch rather than be beholden to a permanent civil service class.

This is precisely what the Founders created. It’s something of a wonder how and why that system was ever replaced with something so completely different.

AMERICAN ECONOMIC STATECRAFT IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Scott Bessent (Presented at the Economic Club of NY’s America 250 Gala Dinner) June 25, 2026

Thank you for the invitation to be here on this wonderful occasion.

As a long-time member of the Economic Club of New York, I know that it occupies a place of great significance in our nation’s discourse.

For generations, few institutions have done more to shape how we confront the defining questions of the day.

And yet, across all those years, tonight’s gathering is without precedent as we assemble on the eve of an extraordinary moment in our history.

Over the coming days, we will celebrate 250 years of the American story and the proposition with which it began: that a free people answer to no power but their own.

But milestones of this magnitude demand more than ceremony.

They ask something of us. They invite us to reflect on the creation of our country, of course, but no less, on its condition.

Indeed, the most fitting way to honor those who founded this nation is to meet the great challenges of our own time with the same resolve that they brought to theirs.

And in that spirit, under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. Treasury is working to restore economic security as the foundation that allows a nation to fulfill its most basic obligations.

In my remarks before the Economic Club of Dallas, I detailed how the structural vulnerabilities that we allowed to accumulate over time precipitated a drift into dependence.

And last month before the Reagan Library, I noted that under President Trump, America has awoken to the risks we can no longer ignore and is now attuned to the responsibilities we can no longer neglect.

So tonight, I would like to take the next step and describe our strategy for economic statecraft, by which I mean the disciplined use of America’s economic power in service of our sovereignty.

DURK AND SANDY – MORE THAN ‘MERE’ SCIENTISTS

Mellie Smith June 25, 2026

On the cusp of the 250^th anniversary of American Independence, we here at TTP want to show a side of Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw that often goes unnoticed by those who didn’t know them personally. They were not only extraordinary scientists. They were ardent patriots, committed to the Constitution and personal liberty.

This month of this year is the perfect time to share their passion concerning the First Amendment and the right of the people to be educated and informed about their own biology and nutrition so that they could make informed decisions.

As I said, Durk and Sandy were not merely prodigious scientists, they made a “foundational” mark in the area of Law working with attorney Jonathan Emord – so much so that Emord still teaches yearly classes in Ivy League schools like Georgetown Law School on the cases that Durk and Sandy won.

The most famous case, of course, was when they took on the FDA and won (Pearson vs. Shalala, 1999) regarding what could or could not be said to inform consumers about the value of supplements.

Their position was that Americans have a constitutional right to receive and share truthful scientific information about nutrition, dietary supplements, and health.

They argued that government agencies should not prevent the dissemination of non-misleading scientific information simply because it relates to health products.

In this case, Durk and Sandy challenged the FDA's refusal to allow certain health claims for dietary supplements.

The court held that the FDA should consider the use of disclaimers rather than outright banning potentially truthful claims. The case became an important milestone in the development of "qualified health claims" for dietary supplements.

Why did this matter? Control.

PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE

Mark Deuce June 24, 2026

As we go to press, there has been a fairly unfathomable “deal” made with the Iranian regime being touted all over the news that proclaims that the conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel is over with.

Even if the Iranians mean it, which is certainly unlikely, it’s unclear that either Iran’s weakened proxy Hezbollah got the word, or that Israel—the country that was key in the concerns leading up to the war—agrees either.

Just last week Hezbollah launched another attack on Israeli forces that killed several of their people, and the IDF responded accordingly; this after Israel was conspicuously sidelined in the “peace” discussions.

Tellingly, this was treated more as a matter that dropped a fly in the much-anticipated peace ointment than what it really was—a barometer of how much real peace is actually going to come out of this.

THE DEATH OF FRANCE – THE SECRET REPORT MACRON IS HIDING

Yama Bar June 23, 2026

[TTP: This is a long article, but the information is critical.]

It’s a typical afternoon in Saint-Denis, the narrow streets packed with people whose faces you cannot see.

The women move in niqab, shapes without features, eyes that do not meet yours.

The shop signs are in Arabic, the smell of cumin and lamb fat rises from every doorway, thick and permanent, as if the street itself has been marinated in another world.

From three directions at once, the call to prayer cuts through the air. Al-lahu Akbar. God is great. Come to prayer. Come to salvation.

Even the French police do not enter without backup. Ambulances request escorts before responding to calls. In the lost territories of Marseille, law enforcement officers disguise themselves as Muslims before making arrests.

France’s own intelligence service has mapped 150 such districts across the country. A former senior official of French foreign intelligence put it in numbers: these enclaves exist in 859 cities, and four million people — six percent of France’s entire population — live inside them.

There was a time when Paris was the most romantic city in the world. You could stop on the banks of the Seine at dusk, buy a baguette and a bottle of wine from the corner shop, sit on the stone steps above the water, and feel, without irony, that life was generous, and civilization was real.

The light on the river. The smell of bread. The sound of French — that particular music of a language that assumes beauty is worth the effort.

That Paris is gone. This is the story of how it fell.

This is the story of the fall of France.

DISTINGUISHING WANTING FROM LIKING

Dr. Joel Wade June 23, 2026

What we want, and what we end up liking when we get it are two different things. They each involve different parts of our brain, and different states of mind.

Understanding this difference and bringing more consciousness to what you think you want can save you a huge amount of time, effort, and money.

This last bit is important, the amount of money we spend on things that we want, but then end up not liking, can be huge. It can make the difference between financial ease or financial stress; a sense of abundance or a sense of desperation. It can make it possible – or impossible – to save and invest.

I’ve had clients who, though they make plenty of money to live very well, end up feeling desperate and on edge financially – because they spend more than they make, buying things they want.

This doesn’t need to happen. It’s a simple enough math problem, easy to solve on paper – just don’t spend more than you make, right? But desire is a powerful motivator, and our emotions can mislead us hard with this one.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – SLEEPING IN AN IGLOO

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 26, 2026

April 1990. When our oldest son Brandon was six years old, I took him with me to the North Pole. It was my 14^th expedition there, and as always, we stopped to visit friends at Canada’s northernmost community, the Inuit hunting village of Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island. Brandon thought it would be cool to sleep in an igloo, which the Inuit do only when they’re hunting seals or walrus far out on the ice.

So the villagers happily complied, showing him how they built one, carving out blocks of wind-blown snow, shaping and placing them in an inward-sloped spiral with one block on top, and packing snow as mortar between the blocks. When it was bedtime – still daylight with 24-hour sunshine by April – they lined the inside with caribou skins, which shed like crazy with hairs everywhere but sure are warm. Snuggled into our arctic down sleeping bags, we slept like stones.

It was an experience both of us will never forget. Never pass up an opportunity to have an adventure with your kids they’ll always remember. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #50 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

ALBANIA’S BLUE EYE

Dr. Jack Wheeler June 25, 2026

This is not a Monet painting. It is a real photograph looking straight down upon the swirling clear blue water of the Syri i Kaltër – Blue Eye – Spring burbling up from a deep karst hole of the Bistricë River in the mountains of southern Albania.

The water surges up with such force that scuba divers trying to determine the spring’s depth could only get down to 50 meters (164ft) and no more, thus the depth of the underwater source is unknown. The water is cristal clear, drinkably pure, and very cold. Found between the World Heritage mountain town of Gjirokaster and the Adriatic beach resort town of Saranda, it’s a hypnotic, mesmerizing experience. The Blue Eye is the beauty of nature at its most entrancing. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #293, photo ©Jack Wheeler)
