MAHA: In 2003, a study entitled “Counting blessings versus burdens: An experimental investigation of gratitude and subjective well-being in daily life.” was published in the Journal of Personality and Psychology. In this study participants were randomly assigned to either list things they felt grateful for, hassles that annoyed them, or life events about which they were emotionally neutral. Those who made the gratitude list were found to feel more hopeful about the upcoming week.

In 2017, a study entitled “Effects of gratitude meditation on neural network functional connectivity and brain-heart coupling” was published in Scientific Reports. In this study, thirty-two people laying in MRI scanners first silently expressed gratitude for their mothers, then recalled someone they resented. While expressing gratitude, participants heartbeats slowed, showing they were calmer, while their brains showed increased communication between brain areas responsible for emotional regulation. When remembering resentment, the opposite happened.

In 2026, a study entitled “Amygdala-putamen connectivity links gratitude to greater well-being” appeared in Dialogues In Clinical Neuroscience. In this study, 363 adults who practiced gratitude showed more prefrontal cortex activity and less in the amygdala. The prefrontal cortex helps you stay rational and override reactive emotional responses, while the amygdala perceives threat and drives aggression.

Gratitude is also known to trigger the release of dopamine and serotonin, two of our feel-good hormones that regulate our moods and emotions. Dopamine is associated with pleasure and reward, while serotonin helps stabilize mood and promote feelings of well-being. We can choose what we think about! If we choose gratitude, we not only train our brains to notice more of the good, but we get feel good rewards that make choosing gratitude easier and easier. Over time, gratitude rewires the brain, which is a scientific explanation for something the Bible has been telling us for millennia.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On November 7, 1983, a bomb tore through the second floor of the Senate wing of the Capitol. The device detonated late in the evening and no one was harmed, but it caused an estimated $1,000,000 in damage.

The group claiming responsibility, the far-left terrorist May 19th Communist Organization (“M19CO”), mailed a recording to NPR that stated, “We purposely aimed our attack at the institutions of imperialist rule rather than at individual members of the ruling class and government. We did not choose to kill any of them this time. But their lives are not sacred.“

Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans were active members who participated in multiple violent actions, including bombings at Fort McNair and the Washington Navy Yard which occurred on April 25, 1983, and April 20, 1984, respectively, and a 1981 Brinks armored truck robbery, in which two police officers and a guard were killed.

Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years on weapons and explosives charges; Evans was sentenced to 35 years for conspiracy, malicious destruction of government property, harboring a fugitive, and using false identification to buy firearms.

Local law enforcement and emergency services were too overwhelmed with emergency calls to do wellness checks, so Eric ordered a pizza online from a Papa John’s near his grandmother’s home. In the special delivery instructions box, Eric requested that the driver call his personal phone number upon arrival and hand the phone to his grandmother so he could confirm she was unharmed.

The Papa John’s delivery driver, Lance Tyler, followed through, giving the family much needed peace of mind.

UK: A UK clinical trial of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was launched in February 2021 after “evidence already showed healthy children faced an extremely low risk of serious illness or death from Covid.”

The trial focused on the vaccine’s safety profile, rather than its effectiveness in preventing infection. In a move that beggars belief, the trial was continued AFTER U.K. government advisers became aware of a potentially deadly blood clot risk.

IOW, they were testing the safety of a vaccine in kids who didn’t need it, then when they found out it would likely kill some of them, they continued injecting the stuff into British children as young as six.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’m realizing that acts of true forgiveness need to be much deeper and more specific than just saying, “I forgive that person.” They involve really remembering and acknowledging each event, the specific and true harm they did, the reasons it was wrong and therefore needs forgiving, and finally, a full and deep handing to God of the full right to decide how He deals with that person.

MAINE: The Department of Justice is investigating CCTV video from Lewiston City Hall that appears to show dozens of instances of NGO workers — operating as “interpreters” — coaching illiterate Somalis on how to vote and even filling out ballots for them.

The shocking footage was obtained by The Maine Wire under the Freedom of Access Act and shows left-wing NGOs running an industrial-scale ballot stuffing scheme, using non-English-speaking migrants to obtain ballots and then instructing them on how to vote a party line ticket for Democrats.

Under Maine law, voters may request a translator, but there are strict rules as to what aides can and cannot do when it comes to assisting voters. Translators are not allowed to offer assistance but must wait until assistance is requested, and they are not allowed to influence voters’ choices. The translators are not allowed to mark up a ballot, and they cannot approach or interrupt a voter who is already in the booth.

As is evident from the CCTV video, virtually every one of these rules was violated over and over again by a small cadre of political activists who can be seen shepherding illiterate Somali voters through the ballot-casting process.
