DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, As we rush through the countdown days until Christmas Eve, we ask that you help us keep our minds and hearts fixed on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CATHOLIC: [2:39] – I saw a documentary once about these small shrines. The custom began in Europe and was brought to the states where Catholic immigrants built them in their often-tiny front yards.

CONNECTICUT: Rep. Rosa DeLauro has been representing the third district (New Haven) for 23 years. Despite being 81 years old, she was just elected for yet another term. She is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee. The banner on her government web page shows her with a teacher and some little kids; everybody is masked. Her net worth is $30 million.

My favorite comment on the clip: “Who can expect people to take you seriously when you present yourself in this manner. A member of Congress. Seriously?” – Carol Tisdale

EDUCATION: Lame duck Biden has thrown in the towel on student loan forgiveness and on forcing schools to accept mtf trannies on girls’ teams. And an Ohio school district has lost an English teacher’s pronouns lawsuit. Two years ago, Jackson Memorial Middle School fired English teacher Vivian Geraghty for choosing her Christian faith and proper English over affirming two trans students. The district will be coughing up a $450,000 settlement.

FAUXTUS: [4:01] – Last Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published a piece called, “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.” It was obvious to the 2020 campaign that Joe Biden was unfit for the office.

JOBS: Under the Biden administration, good jobs reports have gotten headlines, but when the numbers were later revised downward, the media mostly ignored it. In 2022, Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics overstated job creation by more than 1 million. In 2023, revised employment growth down by 443,000 jobs, which was over 40% of payroll growth. This year, the Biden administration puffed up their initial job growth numbers by 3 million.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: Somebody has twice beheaded the goat god statue the Satanic Temple put up in front of the New Hampshire State Capitol. It has been repaired again. I’m personally opposed to using vandalism to fight spiritual wars. It would be far more effective to do binding prayers and pray the rosary.
