SCOTUS: The Supremes ruled 6-3 that President Donald Trump acted within his authority when he fired a member of the Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter last year.

However, they also blocked Trump’s attempt to remove Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, upholding the decision by a federal judge who reinstated Cook last year because Trump hadn’t given her a notice and hearing before removing her.

The Supremes have declined to hear Trump’s appeal of the finding that he sexually abused the writer, E. Jean Carroll. The justices did not offer any explanation for the rejection of the appeal.

BORDER: Back in 2018, after Trump called Haiti a “shithole“, Democrats and the media were OFFENDED. Anderson Cooper called the country an “amazing,” “incredible” and “culturally rich” place he loves to go for weekends and vacations. Conan went to Haiti and posed for the infamous “beautiful country” photo while sipping a drink out of a coconut.

Now that SCOTUS has agreed that the Trump administration can send Haitians back home, these same people are telling us that being forced to return to their home country would cause untold suffering and even death.

From the comments: “Haiti has been independent since 1812. We have a track record. Name one achievement of the Haitian people.“

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1644439039949954 [2:54] to hear five things Josh Pray has learned about confession (aka, the Sacrament of Reconciliation). He ain’t lying! Practicing is good. If you don’t make a GOOD confession, you have committed another sin.

From today’s readings: “Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.” ~ Romans 6:3-4, 8-11

In making a good confession, we bury our sins. In receiving absolution, we rise again. Yes, Jesus died once for all. But we’re not God. We have to keep doing it over and over!

Josh asks, “Y’all think he gonna keep it to himself?” YES ! The Seal of Confession is a deadly serious thing. A priest who shares ANYTHING you said while he had that purple stole on commits a mortal sin. MORTAL, as in “death of the soul through eternal separation from God.”

MOURNING DOVES: [8:22] – Their song is my favorite.

PHILATELY: [6:31] – Love this!

UK: The climate hoax is reaping genuine evil in Great Britain as government officials are ordering residents to not just cut back but actually remove their cooling units during a heat wave. When residents told to leave their windows open raised security concerns, they were told they should just keep windows closed.

There is no proof that “climate change” is harming anyone. Heat, however, is a known killer. “Each summer, on average, approximately 500 New Yorkers die prematurely because of hot weather in New York City. … People who died from heat stress were most frequently exposed to heat in homes. Heat-exacerbated deaths were also more likely to occur at home, underscoring the importance of access to cooling at home.”

The most likely people to die of extreme heat are the elderly and the infirm, the exact same populations that cost Britain’s nationalized health system the most to care for. May God have mercy on the souls of those who die of heat. Grant them eternal rest beside cool streams of living water. Amen.

BLOOD PRESSURE: This is important information for seniors. [8:01] – In addition to the information Dr. Quinn presents, I’d also like to mention what happened to my mother after a major life change. She was my dad’s primary caregiver at the end of his life. After he passed, she began to have real problems with postural hypotension, so went to her physician who found her bp was way too low. Caring for my father had been very stressful for her. Removing that stress resulted in her bp dose being too high.

CLIMATE HOAX: It’s summer, so expect Lefties to blame hot weather on our use of fossil fuels. Ignore them. The fact is that none of the top 20 years for most heatwaves have been in the 21st century. And the #1 was back in 1936.

RULES FOR THEE: In response to a heat wave, the European Commission shut off air conditioning … but only for floors 1-7, where people of lower rank work. All the Big Wigs work on floors 8-13.

This reminds me of the gas crisis back in the 70s, when we had odd-even gas lines, etc. I worked in a building that had gas heat. We were told we could stay home if we wanted, but we’d get no pay. Since most of us needed our paychecks for silly things like food and housing, we came in and pretended to work. Ever try typing with mittens on?

Bitching though … that we could do. And the snarling got a lot louder and more bitter after the #1 boss, who had electric heat in his office, came sailing through in a short-sleeved shirt to “buck up the troops.” Despite the fact that I worked in that place an entire year, this was the one and only time I ever saw the unbelievably tone-deaf man.

EUTHANASIA: When I was a kid, my mother said, “If they ever legalize abortion, euthanasia will be next.” In The Netherlands, it is now legal to off the unborn at any time, for any reason, and anyone after that if certain criteria are (allegedly?) met.

I say “allegedly?” because the pattern is to start off only allowing assisted suicide for those who are hopelessly terminal and suffering unbearably, then slowly chip away until you’re at things like depressed or seriously inconvenient for the nationa’s socialized medicine bottom line.

I remember reading about a Canadian military veteran and paraplegic who merely wanted the national health to install some kind of equipment that would allow her to navigate between the first and second floors of her home. They reportedly told her no (too expensive), but hey, if you’re unhappy, there’s always MAID (cheap).

TOLERANCE: A court in São Paulo, Brazil, has sentenced Audato and Ieda Denardi to 50 days in prison for failing to include the state-approved LGBTQ stuff in their homeschool curriculum. This despite the facts that the prosecutor in the case recommended acquittal and an independent educational psychologist found zero signs of neglect.

In his written decision, the judge accused the parents of “using their daughters as pawns in an ideological struggle.” Project much, your honor?! He also accused the parents of cultural neglect, because neither of the two girls (who are both accomplished pianists and speak multiple languages) enjoy music that is currently popular with Brazilian teens.

CATHOLIC: In the Middle Ages, monks invented hundreds of abbreviations and shorthand symbols. For the Latin word “ad,” meaning “toward” or “at”, they drew the letter “a” and curved the tail of the letter “d” around it, making @. The earliest known use is in a 1345 manuscript held today in the Vatican Apostolic Library. From hand written manuscripts, @ spread to merchant ledgers across Europe, then to typewriters. In 1971, it was chosen by the engineer Ray Tomlinson to separate a username from a domain in the world’s first email.
