DAILY PRAYER: Lord, let us never become so discouraged by our failures that we stop coming back to You for forgiveness and a fresh start. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
BORDER: Remember when Biden took office and halted construction of border wall that was already paid for? He left piles and piles of expensive border wall units sitting around, then put them up for auction for pennies on the dollar. Lone Star State Attorney General Ken Paxton sued to block the sales and won.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND: A whistle blowing vicar says Anglican priests throughout England were urged to modify “problematic” Advent hymns and Christmas carols that might be possibly offensive to non-Christian. One example of offense was affirming that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. Why am I not surprised to learn that, over the past decade, more than 400 Anglican churches in Britain have shut down due to a lack of attendance and support from the local community?

COVID-19: The Wall Street Journal has done some actual journalism, revealing what those of us who were paying attention knew early in 2020. That is, that the virus was engineered in and escaped from the Wuhan lab in China.
The WSJ further revealed that three scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence – John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien – reported this fact to the FBI and were told to shut up about it.
It might be news to the WSJ’s readers that all information about the lab leak origin was omitted from presidential briefings. But it wasn’t surprising to those of us who were paying attention. Real journalists told us years ago that the research funding had Tony Fauci’s sticky fingers all over it.

FAUXTUS: That’s about 52 years worth of vacation days for your average American. And when Slow Joe was in the office, he rarely worked a full day and never worked overtime.
GALLUP: The number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. has dropped to 19%. I‘m wondering if the 20% who are not satisfied with our direction, yet approve of Biden performance are mad about Trump’s win.
GEORGIA: A judge in Georgia has issued a ruling forcing Fani Willis to testify under oath before the State Senate to answer for the crimes she committed in the Trump “lawfare” case.
MASCULINITY: “I say embrace masculinity. We need more and more boys to grow up to be strong fathers.” – Kevin Sorbo.

We have a similarly good dad here at Casa Hyphen where, years ago, a certain member of the tribe lost her door privileges for a time.
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: I’ve heard this used to be a respectable magazine.

SINSICK: William (34) and Zachary (36) Zulock both pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, sexual exploitation of their two adopted sons. The gay couple, who lived in Atlanta, have each been sentenced to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole. DA Randy McGinley said, “These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else.”
GRAMMY NOTES: I want to share my friend Hans’ first podcast @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA325997PgM. He recently retired (again) and, Hans being Hans, came up with yet another new thing to keep him busy. We’ve been friends since high school where we shared the school’s morning announcement duties for “WIHS.” Since then, Hans has managed a radio station, owned and operated an ambulance business, trained and used bloodhounds for search and rescue operations, taught me to rappel, became a forest ranger, met and married the love of his life with whom he adopted and raised 4 kids, supported her through becoming a Lutheran pastor, wrote and published a popular series of Christian science-fantasy novels (see “The Gewellyn Chronicles” by Hans Erdman at Amazon) while his beloved was undergoing cancer treatment, retired from the forest service and started a new career in security at a local college, engaged in a number of bicycle mission trips, and served as a bicycling EMT at numerous sporting events. Phew!
SHORTS:
CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6jJ0O8Mhnxs to see Ada get her portrait done. This is the start of a new series for SHORTS. Mama Buzz discovered this wonderful You Tube channel by a guy who does street portraiture with total strangers. He makes these people look so beautiful that I just want to cry.

Those fiends who abused the little boys, they were just stupid enough to advertise their actions and got caught. Horrible to think about similar cases who weren’t that stupid.
Fani Willis… crimes she committed in the Trump “lawfare” case: I know by this time I shouldn’t be surprised at the “Trump curse,” but I still find it amazing. His opponents don’t just fail to defeat him, they break and sink from the effort. Trump’s one major loss was 2020. Terrible as the last four years were, Trump/ Biden/ Trump is a longer-term blessing, the very illustration of “God moves in mysterious ways.” May America never forget the lesson.
Mario cart? ‘Way, ‘way outside my experience.
