Hopefully, it is a big beautiful bill because it passed the Senate. We didn’t read it and can’t say, but word has it they didn’t improve it. It has Elon Musk very upset along with a few Republicans. They needed JD Vance as the tiebreaker. President Trump has staked his reputation on this bill which […] The post The Senate Passes the Big Beautiful Bill & Now Back to the House appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump scored another major legislative victory on Tuesday with the GOP-led Senate narrowly passing “One Big, Beautiful Bill” with the help of Vice President JD Vance, keeping alive the prospect of Congress getting the centerpiece measure to his desk by Independence Day. The 900-page-plus bill, which aims to fulfill many of Trump’s spending and tax-cut goals for his second term, triumphed in a 51-50 vote after a marathon “vote-a-rama” session on amendments and intense deliberations between members during which leadership managed to win over just enough Republicans to get the measure over the finish line. Because the bill is making its way through Congress through the budget reconciliation process, the Senate was able to bypass the 60-vote filibuster and pass the measure with only a simple majority. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who raised concerns about Medicaid cuts, and Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) voted against the bill with the Democrats and independents. Vance broke a 50-50 tie. JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free GOP leaders in the House and Senate have been racing to get the bill to Trump by his stated deadline of July 4. Topline items include extending the 2017 tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of this year, boosting funds for border security and the military, cutting red tape for American energy production, and raising the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars. “Republicans, the One Big Beautiful Bill, perhaps the greatest and most important of its kind in history, gives the largest Tax Cuts and Border Security ever, Jobs by the Millions, Military/Vets increases, and so much more,” Trump said in an overnight post on Truth Social. “The failure to pass means a whopping 68% Tax increase, the largest in history!!!” Now the bill is headed back to the House, where it initially passed in late May. The House Rules Committee is expected to meet as early as noon. If the panel is able to pass a rule for consideration of the bill, the full House will come into play. However, there will likely not be a quick resolution. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said last week that he would honor the customary 72 hours to allow members three days to review the text of the legislation. He also conceded that it is “possible” the bill’s timeline may slide past July 4, Trump’s stated deadline. Many changes have been made over the past month. That is due in part to the Senate Parliamentarian determining that certain provisions did not adhere to the rules for the reconciliation process. Sections that did not make the final cut included a 10-year artificial intelligence law moratorium on the states and a proposal from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to sell public lands. Ultimately, the process could come down to a Friday showdown on the House floor. Fiscal hawks in the lower chamber have been raising concerns about the Senate version ballooning the national debt. Johnson said in a post on X that the bill will be “JET FUEL” for the United States economy. “It makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, provides tax relief for seniors, and slashes regulations to spur job creation and economic growth,” he added. Trump has threatened to back primary challengers against Republicans who have opposed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” One of them, Tillis, announced on Sunday he would not seek re-election. Another is Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), whom billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk said he would support, while also warning Republicans who voted to pass the legislation that he would actively work to ensure they lose their next primary.

Critics of the United Nations have slammed the international organization for hindering the work of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has reportedly donated more than 50 million meals to Gazan residents. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed on Friday that the GHF in Gaza is “inherently unsafe” and “killing people.” “Guterres said U.N.-led humanitarian efforts are being ‘strangled,’” Reuters reported. GHF chairman Johnnie Moore responded on Monday, “I’m surprised that something so right, something so simple as feeding people, has become so controversial. We have poked a lot of bears.” He added that the GHF thought it was only “poking the bear of a designated terrorist organization that wants to steal the aid from people,” but in the process unveiled “the underbelly of the United Nations and all of these organizations around the world,” JNS reported. JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free Asked about reports that the U.N. is pressuring agencies to cut ties with the GHF, U.N. Watch’s Hillel Neuer stated, “It’s not surprising because we’ve seen this attitude consistently from the leadership at the UN; Guterres over a year ago instructed all UN agencies, basically forbade them from dealing with any other effort that would replace UNRWA [United Nations Relief and Works Agency] in any way. There were reports from several of these agencies that Guterres gave an order to the heads of all UN humanitarian agencies, do not deal, cooperate in any way with any US-led initiative to replace any of the work that UNRWA is doing. So the latest reports are just a continuation of that kind of policy. In my opinion, it’s kind of like a Mafia-type approach; if you dare cooperate with this entity, we’ll break your legs.” “I think it is politically motivated because we’re seeing an incredible amount of inversion; the argument put out by the UN — and they’ve been vehement in the past several weeks, more than we’ve ever seen on almost any other issue, certainly from UNRWA,” Neuer explained. “Because they see it as existential, that a more effective non-politicized, authentic, sincere humanitarian effort— would show that UNRWA is the opposite. And it is the opposite. … UNRWA has a whole political pathological agenda telling Palestinians they have a ‘right of return,’ which means the right to invade Israel on October 7 and massacre Israelis. That’s the true agenda of UNRWA.” Israel and US expected to shield attempts at the UN to close the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation UNRWA 'sees it as existential that a more-effective, non-politicized, authentic, sincere humanitarian effort would show that UNRWA is the opposite,' @HillelNeuer tells @natasharaquel_ pic.twitter.com/AsErvnJwB0 — i24NEWS English (@i24NEWS_EN) June 30, 2025 “Three weeks ago, Hamas terrorists murdered clearly identified GHS staff as they were returning from a day feeding Gazan civilians,” Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., stated. “All those pictures; they stopped the bus, tortured them in the middle of the road, and executed them. The Secretary-General said nothing. OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory): nothing. UNRWA: nothing. Silence. … Outrageously, the UN has also emboldened false allegations against the GHF about violent incidents, shamelessly promoting claims from Hamas-controlled sources. The blindness and hatred … exploded into absurdity, with some actors even promoting the insane conspiracy that the aid being distributed contains drugs and that the people risking their lives to feed families are secretly pushing narcotics. It’s delusional. I don’t get it. Why don’t they cooperate? Why not to work together? Let us speak plainly. If you really care about Gazan children, stop sabotaging the only program that reaches them instead of terrorists.” I strongly condemned the UN's conduct toward the GHF, which provides aid to civilians directly, away from the hands of Hamas. Instead of supporting the initiative, the UN is actively trying to undermine it and is intimidating organizations willing to collaborate with the GHF.… pic.twitter.com/K2i7oMmOTc — Danny Danon ?? דני דנון (@dannydanon) June 30, 2025 Moore issued a post on X on Monday in which he pleaded for the media to stop lying about GHF’s efforts, writing, “If you see some piece of info reported by the press from the Gaza Health Ministry then you can know that piece of information is not accurate. It is a LIE. It is part of the info war in an active war & when you see a media outlet report stats from the Gaza Health Ministry it shows their bias. Some press try to justify this by saying the ‘Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’ but adding ‘Hamas-run’ isn’t to scrutinize the data … it’s often to JUSTIFY their use of the stat for other reasons. It is no better. It’s often a disingenuous tactic at best but sometimes intentionally deceptive. It causes further harm to the Gaza people and prolongs a terrible war.” PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you see some piece of info reported by the press from the Gaza Health Ministry then you can know that piece of information is not accurate.

The intelligentsia is always telling us to “follow the science.” But what happens when “the science” starts undermining academia’s deeply-held beliefs? Suddenly, the definition of science changes — or we’re told we misunderstood it all along. If you’ve followed the debates over climate change or gender ideology, this story might sound familiar. But what may surprise you is that the same tactics are now at work in elite physics departments around the world. Even the most brilliant minds aren’t immune to bias — or to pushing a philosophical agenda under the guise of objectivity. So, how is this playing out in the world of advanced physics? Atheist scientists hold one belief above all: God is fiction. Why? Because God isn’t science. And only scientific claims can be true. Science, they say, explains the universe through natural, blind forces. This picture of reality is supposed to be testable and falsifiable. But are they still living up to that standard? In recent decades, physicists uncovered something remarkable. Nature’s laws contain fundamental constants, specific numbers that determine how particles like electrons behave. For years, no one knew where these mysterious numbers came from. Then came the scientific discovery that many of them are finely tuned. Change them even slightly, and the universe as we know it wouldn’t exist. No atoms. No stars. No life. The implication was hard to miss. An intelligent cause had fine-tuned the constants to produce a complex, structured universe. That conclusion sounded uncomfortably like God. And many atheist physicists wanted nothing to do with that. Stanford physicist Leonard Susskind, himself an atheist, explained the fear: Physicists dislike mixing religion into physics. I think they were somewhat afraid that if it was admitted that the reason the world is the way it is has to do with our own existence, that that could be hijacked by the creationists, by the intelligent designers. And of course, what they would say is, “Yes, we always told you so. There is a benevolent somebody way up high in the universe who created the universe exactly so that we could live.” I think physicists shrank at the idea of getting involved in such things. But if the evidence pointed to God, scientists had a choice: follow it, or explain it away. Enter the multiverse: an infinite set of unobservable universes, each with different laws. If the multiverse exists, then finding ourselves in a fine-tuned universe isn’t all that surprising. With infinite tries, some universes are bound to support life. And naturally, we’d only ever find ourselves in one of those. Sounds clever, but here’s the problem: science requires observation and testability. One of the most renowned physicists of the prior generation, Richard Feynman, stated clearly: “All scientists will agree that a question — any question, philosophical or other — which cannot be put into the form that can be tested by experiment…is not a scientific question.” By definition, an infinite number of unobservable universes can’t be tested by experiment. By Feynman’s standard, and that of virtually all scientists for the past 300 years, the multiverse is not science. So, what does academia do when faced with this problem? It tries to change the rules. Physicist Bernard Carr openly argues for redefining science: “It is surely dangerous to impose a philosophical prescription that prevents scientists from changing the border of their field. As Susskind cautions, it would be a pity to miss out on some fundamental truth because of an over-restrictive definition of science.” In other words: if the multiverse doesn’t fit the definition of science that’s guided discovery since the Enlightenment, no problem — just redefine science. As if redefining science weren’t bad enough, some scientists go further. Johns Hopkins physicist Sean Carroll boldly claims that falsifiability was never a requirement of science: The ways in which we evaluate the multiverse as a scientific hypothesis are precisely the ways in which hypotheses have always been judged. The point is not that we are changing the nature of science by allowing unfalsifiable hypotheses into our purview. The point is that “falsifiability” was never the way that scientific theories were judged (although scientists have often talked as if it were). So, Feynman got it wrong. Einstein too. Generations of scientists? All mistaken. Or so we’re now told. How long before textbooks are rewritten to teach students that science doesn’t require testing, observation, or falsifiability? We’ve seen this play before, and it doesn’t end well. This isn’t just semantics. Redefining science erodes public trust in real, tested science. If untestable multiverse theory now falls under the esteemed banner of science, how is anyone supposed to tell the difference between the real thing and its imposter version? Fortunately, some scientists have sounded the alarm about these shifts. George Ellis, a leading physicist, has warned bluntly: The foundations must be respected if one is to preserve the core features of science that have led to its phenomenal success: that is the feedback from reality to theory provided by experiment and observational testing. One abandons that at one’s peril…it is dangerous to weaken the grounds of scientific proof in order to include multiverses under the mantle of “tested science”. Ellis is right. If science is to remain credible, scientists need to stop playing word games. Fine tuning in our one, ordered universe is a real scientific discovery. But it most certainly doesn’t point to an infinite, chaotic multiverse. The bottom line? The multiverse isn’t science. It’s a speculative philosophical idea — and not even a good one. Passing it off as science is dishonest. These scientists are hijacking the credibility of science to promote a weak philosophical theory that can’t stand on its own. We’re not saying God is a scientific theory. That would be dishonest. What we are saying is that science points to God. Because when you follow the evidence, the most straightforward explanation for fine-tuning is an intelligent designer. And if academics really believe in “following the science,” then maybe it’s time they followed it themselves — all the way to God.

On June 15, famed televangelist Jimmy Swaggart suffered cardiac arrest. His team quickly took to social media, asking the faithful to pray for Brother Swaggart. “The prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up.” On this Father’s Day, we urgently ask you to pray for Brother Swaggart. He needs a miracle from heaven right now, this morning. We must have the Lord intervene in this situation and we need your prayers,” a Facebook post read. For weeks, his family and loved ones updated social media about Jimmy Swaggart’s health, hoping for a miracle. Sadly, his health never improved. Brother Swaggart died on July 1 at 90. Jimmy Swaggart Preached The Gospel For Decades His family announces Jimmy Swaggart’s death in a loving post on Facebook. Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ. Today was the day he has sung about for decades. He met his beloved Savior and entered the portals of glory. At the same time, we rejoice knowing that we will see him again one day. For over seven decades, Brother Swaggart poured out his life preaching the gospel, singing songs of the faith, and pointing millions to the saving power of Jesus Christ and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. His voice echoed through nations, his music softened hearts, and his message never changed: Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He was not just a preacher—he was a worshiper, a warrior, and a witness to the grace and mercy of God. He was a man whose faith was steadfast and always entered whatever door the Lord opened. And the Lord honored that faith. Please continue to lift up Sister Frances, Donnie, Debbie, Gabriel, Jill, Jennifer, Clif, Matt, Joanna, Sam, Ryder, Abby, Lola, Harper, Navy, Harrison, Caroline and Mackenzie in your prayers. The family would like to thank the staff, doctors and nurses at Baton Rouge General Medical Center for their incredible support and care given during this time.
