BORDER: Last week, SecState Rubio unveiled the Trump administration’s latest attempt to crackdown on birth tourism, restricting visa issuance of those who both engage in and profit from bringing pregnant women into the U.S. to give birth so that their children get automatic citizenship.

DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1099133899190293 [1:39] to hear long-time leftist, Bill Maher, deliver a glorious rant about how far wrong the party has gone.

Re: His statement that “Democrats were the racist party back then,” I must respond that Democrats are still the racist party. Who keeps the majority of blacks in bad schools, bad neighborhoods, and dead end, welfare-forever lives? Democrats. Who promotes abortion in predominantly black and brown neighborhoods? Democrats. They didn’t stop being racists. They just changed their tactics.

EVERYDAY HEROES: John Arbuthnot was an 18th century Scottish physician and mathematician who studied London’s official death and christening records from 1629 to 1710. In every single one of those 82 years, about 107 boys were born for every 100 girls.

He calculated that the odds of males outnumbering females 82 years years in a row was roughly 1 in 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. (That number has 24 zeroes.) IOW, chance could not possibly explain the phenomenon.

But something else could. Arbuthnot theorized that God built a slight surplus of males into His design, because men die in wars, at sea, and in dangerous trades at far higher rates than women. A small but consistent excess of male births keep the population in balance despite those losses.

One might also conclude that a population that is designed to be balanced – males-to-females – is a strong indicator that the designer believes in monogamy.

RAAACISM: One of this year’s prestigious National Book Awards went to Wendy Walters, a black Columbia University professor, for her new book, “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint.”

The blurb at Amazon says, “An impassioned, boundary-pushing work of criticism traversing an array of subjects, from fine arts to design to architecture, taking aim at the ubiquity of white paint in our society and what its prevalence reveals about our values.”

What it should say is, “An example of how little actual racism exists in this nation.”

TRANS: A study by the Manhattan Institute entitled “Transgender Comprehensive Lethal Evidence Analysis Report” details the results of an analysis of every independently verified case of trans murder from 2015 through 2024. Using court records, police statements, local news reports, and other public documentation, analysts attempted to discern the who and why behind the violent deaths of 304 individuals who identify as trans.

What they found is that the transgender community does not face an “epidemic” of lethal violence rooted in “transphobia” and/or “white supremacy.“

  1. Epidemic Lie: Transgender people are less likely to be murdered than the rest of the population.
  2. Transphobia Lie: Intimate partner violence — not hate — is the leading identified motive for most such murders. Only 3.3 percent of the cases reviewed in the report turned out to be confirmed hate crimes. Other common circumstances included sex-work encounters, disputes, robbery, and other forms of interpersonal conflict.
  3. Racism: Most transgender murder victims are murdered by members of their own race.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: An analysis of trans-identifying male athletes competing in female sporting events showed they competed in more than 14,301 female sport events, both amateur and professional, stealing more than 2,293 gold medals from actual females. In professional events, they stole over $501,498 in prize money. Who knows how much they’ve stolen in college scholarships!

EVERYDAY HEROES: A keeper was making his usual rounds when shouting from the primate enclosure caught his attention. When he rushed over, he found an orangutan holding a much smaller gibbon tightly in his arms. At first, he feared the orangutan was hurting him, but after watching closely, he realized he wasn’t biting, hitting, or crushing the gibbon. He was simply refusing to let him leave.

The keeper eventually got them separated, but the encounter was unusual enough that staff began watching the enclosure more closely. That’s when they noticed a pattern. The gibbon had been repeatedly harassing the orangutan’s young son, chasing and bothering him around the enclosure. Whenever he pushed things too far, Dad would step in, grab the gibbon, and hold him there until he calmed down.

When asked about the unusual behavior, one caretaker laughed and said, “Apparently, ‘Go sit down and think about what you did’ might not be exclusively a human parenting strategy.”

AMERICAN HISTORY: On September 26, 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon took part in America’s first televised debate between two presidential candidates. An estimated 70 million viewers – at that time the largest audience ever – tuned in to watch. However, it was not the first televised debate during a presidential campaign.

That occurred almost four years earlier, on November 4, 1956, when former First Lady and party icon Eleanor Roosevelt (representing Adlai Stevenson) debated Republican and senior senator from Maine, Margaret Chase Smith (representing Dwight Eisenhower). The first televised presidential debate featured two women.

BUTLER, PA: James Copenhaver was one of several people who were wounded during the 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. He never fully recovered from his wounds, which included bullet fragments still lodged in his body, and underwent multiple surgeries.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Captain Tammie Jo Shults was piloting Southwest Flight 1380 when an engine fan blade snapped, ripping apart the left engine and sending shrapnel tearing into the fuselage. A cabin window blew out, causing a violent, rapid decompression that sucked one passenger out of the plane. Oxygen masks dropped, alarms screamed, and wind roared through the plane as it plummeted into a steep bank.

Captain Shults was no stranger to extreme pressure. She was one of the first female fighter pilots in the U.S. Navy, accustomed to landing high-performance jets on moving aircraft carriers at night. Now she was responsible for the 148 souls still aboard a commercial airliner that was tearing itself apart. She calmly informed air traffic control of the plane’s status, then landed the 737 safely. Once the plane rolled to a stop, she walked down the aisle, looked every single passenger in the eye, and personally hugged them.

SOUTH AFRICA: The second Trump administration has effectively shut down the U.S. refugee resettlement program, but has made an exemption for Afrikaners who are being oppressed for being White.

CALIFORNICATION: During the last fiscal year, California taxpayers spent at least $11 billion providing illegal aliens with free housing, cash, healthcare, food, phones, college tuition, even car insurance. Meanwhile, my brother, who lives in the not-so-golden state, was denied knee replacement surgery, because he was deemed to be “too old” … maybe also too male, too white, and too legal.

CLICK https://x.com/theblaze/status/2102767271504404829 [1:58] to hear her brag about it, even citing The New York Times, who quoted and named her. According to her, the rest of the jury wanted to convict, but she held out for insanity. However, the Times quote merely said she affirmed there had been a holdout juror, not that she had been that person.

A recently uncovered New York Daily News article about the trial proves she is a shameless liar. That article also quoted her, but it said she had been among the eleven that wanted to find the man guilty. “I believe he butchered the body and almost committed the perfect crime. He knew what he was doing.”

That article also quoted another juror, Valerie Holmes, who said the holdout juror was an “unemployed man” who wanted a bit of extra cash who wanted to delay jury deliberations, because they were getting paid by the day. Juror Valerie Holmes said he was “very determined, very manipulative” and “didn’t mind how long he stayed here.”

STUPID (possibly insane) PEOPLE: Robby Starbuck writes, “I promise you’re not even slightly prepared for how INSANE this story is.” – Greenfield, Massachusetts has a lesbian establishment named Last Ditch Bar. It was originally founded on a socialist model, where paying a cover fee was optional. So, of course, nobody paid and two of the original owners left. The one who stayed is 50k in debt on the business loan and living in her car. (Wouldn’t a cot in the back of the bar be preferable?)

Anyway, the bar, being hard core leftist, has had a mandatory masking policy since it opened … in 2025. Greenfield has not had a single COVID case in months and, as mentioned, the bar owner is in financial straits. So she posted that she was switching one night of the week to masks optional. And that’s when it all got very nasty and viral on social media.

“PEOPLE LIKE YOU KILL DISABLED PEOPLE”

“YOU’RE COMPLICIT IN A MASS DISABLING EVENT”

“I HOPE YOUR VENUE GETS FIREBOMBED”

The owner tried apologizing, then brought in a mediator and held an open meeting, which went off the rails almost immediately, allegedly because the mediator was White. Some of the attendees said that her presence made them feel “wildly unsafe,” because she was also a licensed therapist, thus a mandatory reporter, and thus could force hospitalize them. When the owner talked about her financial woes, one particularly nasty individual accused her of spilling White Tears for sympathy which was “incredibly racist.” The meeting went on like this for nearly 4 hours.

MAHA: Read the back, not the front. – Dearest brought home a “food” product that said “NO SUGAR ADDED” on the front, so he thought it was “healthy.” The ingredients label listed polysyllabic chemicals that are worse than sugar. As for the synbio milk containing “milk,” what it contains is molecules similar to those found in cow milk, which could trigger someone with a milk allergy.

Other news I found about synbio milk is much more concerning and I’m wondering how the product made it to store shelves. According to a chemical analysis published in Scientific Reports in April 2026, synbio milk is not only less nutritious than cow milk, but also contains both fungal proteins and fungal metabolites that have never been verified as safe for human consumption.

  1. Cow milk contains substantial levels of 69 nutrients. Synbio milk contains only 7 of them and only in small amounts.
  2. 93 compounds were identified that have never been tested for safety or allergenicity at the levels one would consume drinking this product.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On Sept. 23, 1779, John Paul Jones led the American ship Bonhomme Richard to victory against the British warship HMS Serapis in the Battle of Flamborough Head off the Yorkshire coast of England. Despite severe damage to his own vessel, Jones famously declared, “I have not yet begun to fight!” and ultimately forced the British to surrender.

MEDIA: On Sept. 21, CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox News announced they will not cover events designated as pool coverage of the President until Trump restores CNN to pool status. Trump responded on Truth Social: “The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!”

MISSOURI: On Monday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Missouri must use the new district map in November. The old map gave Republicans a 6-2 advantage, while the new one goes 7-1. The problem is that they used the new one for the primaries, so the court says that switching back to the old map for November would give some voters more say than others in who represents them in Congress.

OH CANADA: In 2024, more people died from assisted suicide in Canada (16,499) than died due to firearm homicides in the US (15,364). America has about eight times the population of Canada, which means the per capita breakdown in this comparison looks even worse for Canada.

“In a bit we’re going to have communion together to realize that in the ‘goddess religion’ the blood that was being talked about was the blood of birth. The eating of the goddess was being breastfed, it wasn’t cannibalizing a guy.

“So, when Jesus was trying to share these images, the people knew what he was saying. They knew Sophia. We’ve forgotten about it. If we put Sophia back in the equation then we realize that communion is not a magic act. It’s Jesus putting his death in the context of the cosmic rebirth.”

I doubt I need to point out that the people Jesus spoke to were Jews, not Greeks.

LBJ: During his presidency, Lyndon B. Johnson was legendary for badgering subordinates with demands. Aboard Air Force One, he frequently insisted the flight crew adjust the cabin temperature, something that was not easy to do in that aircraft. The crew asked technicians to install a prominent, custom-built control knob labeled for climate regulation near where the president sat. It was a dummy that did absolutely nothing, but Johnson didn’t know that. Whenever the temperature felt off, he would adjust the dial and rest assured that he was in charge of the jet’s internal atmosphere.

MAHA: Poor sleep and pain feed each other; each one makes the other worse. Just a few nights of restricted or interrupted sleep can increase a person’s pain sensitivity. Melatonin, which is well known as a mild sleep aid, may help break the cycle in more ways than we suspected.

A new analysis of 23 clinical trials involving more than 2,000 patients found that melatonin reduced pain in people with chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and low back pain. It did not meaningfully help pain after surgery.

Across all chronic pain studies, melatonin lowered pain scores by about 9 points on average. By comparison, a 2020 Cochrane review found that NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, reduced pain by about 7.7 points on the same scale.

Note that melatonin is not a fast fix like a pain pill. It worked over weeks, with most of the studies using doses of about 2 to 3 mg per day for under three months. Long-term safety hasn’t been well studied. Side effects across the studies were generally mild: nausea, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness.

Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, elderly and at risk of falls, have epilepsy, or take other medications. There are 358 drugs known to interact with melatonin, along with 3 disease interactions, and 3 alcohol/food interactions. Of the total drug interactions, 5 are major, 344 are moderate, and 9 are minor.

The brand I chose for the graphic above is Consumer Lab’s Top Pick for 3 mg, time release formulation.

“A society built for humans should have the broadest possible definition of human. Not ‘you’re disposable scrap unless someone else vouches for you.’ … I was born in a society where abortion was strictly forbidden by law. And yet it still happened. In fact, many women used it as their main method of contraception. In fact, it’s probably the only way to keep it safe and rare, because everyone involved knew they’d be in trouble if caught.”

Then, they decided the heroes who didn’t trust the vaxxx were zeroes and fired them, causing a nursing shortage just when I became desperately ill with an electrolyte imbalance. A horrible staff member shouted at me for being upset and confused, which was actually a symptom of my problem. The head nurse begged me to understand that she was so short-handed, she had to keep the witch on staff. Then, after I survived my medical crisis, y’all decided the mask that I still need means I’m a brain-dead LWW. ::sigh::

Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.”

And Consumer Lab has tested and approved it as having 10.1 grams of carbs, of which 2.8 grams is insoluble fiber (a type of carbohydrate that does not dissolve in water and helps add bulk to stool) and .76 grams is resistant starch.

Their website lists ingredients as: Organic “Sprouted Wheat, Filtered Water, Organic Sprouted Barley, Organic Sprouted Millet, Organic Malted Barley, Organic Sprouted Lentils, Organic Sprouted Soybeans, Organic Sprouted Spelt, Yeast, Organic Wheat Gluten, Sea Salt.”

President Obama had a long history of freezing out Fox News, because he considered their coverage of him to be unacceptably biased. He didn’t accuse them of flat out lying. He accused them of not being as fawningly approving of everything he did as the other news outlets were.

FYI: “Bantams” are members of any miniature breed of chicken or duck. The roosters crow and act tough like standard-sized roosters, but weigh in at between one to two pounds vs. normal roosters that average 7.5 pounds.

Bits & Bytes

BAPTISM OF CHRIST: The traditional date of Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist – Bethany Beyond the Jordan — is today known as Al-Maghtas in Jordan. The crown prince of Jordan, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, recently visited the site and directed officials to promote and improve it in time for the 2,000th anniversary of Jesus’ baptism in 2030.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST: She’s running to become the U.S. congressional representative from the 7th district of New York (parts of Brooklyn and Queens) and has been endorsed by Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders. I’m wondering if she’s read the Oath of Office.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

MAHA: The Real Food Show [23:05] – There is so much to love about this episode.

NETFLIX: What fresh hell is this?! The wokies at Netflix are doing what they call a “rock’n’roll” remake of C.S. Lewis’ beloved classic, The Magician’s Nephew.” Best comment – @David_Fairchild posted, “Aslan isn’t some generic figure with an interchangeable identity. He’s male. Lewis wrote him as male. … Giving Aslan a female voice isn’t daring or profound or some brilliant act of creative genius. It’s an act of creative vandalism pretending to be artistic sophistication. It’s more ideological slop produced by the machine that’s given us plenty already.“

PREPARING FOR ANTI-CHRIST: CLICK https://x.com/Protestia/status/2100880006545330210 [:46] to hear the pastor of a Lutheran church introduce “they-self” to the congregation while wearing shorts and sandals and surrounded by sin-celebrating stage dressing.

@Mitchell_Texas reminds us that Ephesians 5:11 says, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

PSA: Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 220,000 F-150 pickup trucks because the fuel tanks might fall off.

SEND OUT THE CLOWN: One of the Dem’s biggest buffoons, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), was soundly defeated in his primary earlier this year so, buh bye, don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

But Green, being Green, can’t leave without launching some more Look At Me! Stunts. Case in point … demanding the impeachment of President Trump, citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti as evidence of President Trump’s inability to lead the country. Never you mind that Good and Pretti were both killed while attempting to harm ICE agents. True to form, the majority of Democrats voted to proceed with the effort, which thankfully was killed dead when 47 Democrats voted present and 18 others voted with with 213 Republicans.

STUPID PEOPLE: Sometimes I wonder if people post stupid things just to get clicks.

TEXAS: A scammer behind bars! – An elderly woman and an alert bank staff helped federal authorities put Muzaamil Ahmednab (35) behind bars. Ahmednab is part of a criminal network that has stolen $250 million. Tarrant County DA Sorrells says, “If you are participating in this scam, know this: We are dismantling your network. You will face justice in Tarrant County.”
