DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, I pray for all who will one day be faced with this challenge, that they will receive and embrace the graces needed to say YES. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
VITAMIN D: A paper entitled “Vitamin D: A key player in COVID-19 immunity and lessons from the pandemic to combat immune-evasive variants” in Inflammopharmacology. It summarizes the current knowledge about the role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Vitamin D is well known to have immune-boosting properties.
Dr. John Campbell talks about the paper @ https://rumble.com/v5juldp-new-vitamin-d-paper.html [20:38]. He says the findings apply not just to the coronavirus, but to all viral infections as well as many cancers.
Note: Taking your Vitamin D with your biggest (i.e., highest in fats) meal can boost uptake by as much as 50% over taking it any other time of the day. Also it is recommended you refrigerate your Vitamin D, as it slows loss of potency over time.
According to Consumer Lab, supplementing with Vitamin D can cost as little as a penny per day (Kirkland Signature, aka Costco brand) D3. If you don’t have a Costco, CL’s other penny-a-day top pick is Vitacost D3, which you can get at Vitacost.com. Slightly more expensive (4 to 7 cents) CL recommendations include Doctor’s Best Vegan D3, NOW High Potency D3, and Nature Made D3.
N.b., Consumer Lab recommendations are based not only on cost, but also on purity and accuracy of label/contents. I have a membership and am happy to look up a supplement for you.
DOGE: I’m for it.
GOAT: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/2019630445132542 and marvel at this man’s skill. I thought at first he was cutting random shapes out of blocks of foam. He isn’t. Those are piles of fabric! He’s cutting them without a pattern. It’s absolutely mind boggling!
HUNTER: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1251036249348081 [7:55] to hear what Dan Bongino’s sources told him about the pardon.
CLICK https://x.com/EricAbbenante/status/1863809028737966508 [1:59] to hear Jon Stewart’s riff.
Hunter has been convicted of failing to pay taxes in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and of making an illegal firearm purchase on October 12th of 2018. This part of the pardon not only keeps Hunter out of prison, but also means he has technically never been convicted of a felony. Apparently, being found guilty doesn’t count; the crime isn’t registered until the sentencing occurs. No sentence; no crime.
But the pardon also covers any crimes he may have committed or been involved in beginning January 1, 2014. In 2014, Hunter was tapped to serve on the board of the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, despite having zero relevant expertise. This would be the same time when then-President Obama made then-VP Joe Biden the country’s point man for all things Ukraine. The non-specific pardon protects Joe more than Hunter.
I often think that Joe’s first wife, baby daughter, and son Beau dying young was a grace from God to keep them from being corrupted and damned forever.
J6: “Remember when the J6 Committee deleted a ton of their evidence after Republicans won the House? And how they never released the interview transcript with Kash Patel that exonerated so many people who got entrapped? If this was an actual insurrection, they’d put all that evidence in a museum. But we know what it truly was – a Deep State setup.” – DC Draino

GRAMMY NOTES: I remember the Christmas Mass my youngest was a toddler. We made so many trips up and down the aisles! Based on the stifled giggles I heard from the pews, more people were watching us than listening to the homily! LOL
