DAILY PRAYER: Ave Maria, gratia plena. Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
CALIFORNIA: A fast-moving wildfire erupted in the Southern California coastal city of Pacific Palisades, about 20 miles west of Los Angeles, destroying homes in one of the nation’s wealthiest communities and forcing 30,000 residents to evacuate.
Comments on X: “Due to environmental laws, California doesn’t remove dead brush and trees so places like this become a massive fire hazard waiting to go up in flames.” Also, “Even worse, the Los Angeles fire hydrants are OUT OF WATER because the county REFUSED to refill reservoirs. Also, the Mayor did ZERO prep despite the advanced warning of winds and fire risk. This is EXACTLY what happened on Maui!”
CLIMATE HOAX: [1:14] – Carbon is the stuff of life. Before mankind started digging up fossil fuels and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, almost all of the available carbon on the planet had been used and buried. The planet was literally on the brink of starving to death for a lack of carbon. Far from harming the planet, our fossil fuel use has given Earth a new lease on life.
Naturally, the Green New Deal “Save the Planet” morons thought it was essential to spend $281,000,000 of our tax dollars to capture and permanently store the carbon dioxide being emitted by a plant that turns corn into ethanol. Thankfully, for the good of the planet, the moronic project only managed to capture 10% to 12% of the plant’s output. Not so thankfully, they wasted $281 million dollars!

LAKEN RILEY: The newly seated House of Representatives passed its first bill, The Laken Riley Act, with bipartisan support. Zero Republicans opposed. The act proposes that feds be required to detain illegal immigrants found guilty of theft-related crimes. It also would allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their citizens because of illegal immigration. The bill is named after a nursing student who was killed by an illegal immigrant while jogging on the University of Georgia’s campus.
MASCOTS: Bootz cried when he heard Daisey had died. He said he wished he could see her one more time. So Mama got out their photo albums so they could remember the fun times they had with her. Then, Mama made a page in her journal. I thought the lady in the photo was her until I zoomed in and realized it was me. We look a lot alike! 🙂
NATIONAL ARCHIVES: Colleen Shogan, the current Archivist of the United States, once wrote that anti-intellectual Republican presidents won because their stupid rhetoric allowed them to connect with the stupid American people. [7:58] – Trump has announced he will be firing Colleen Shogan who famously weaponized the National Archives against him. According to whistleblowers, she has a history of abusive, retaliatory, and partisan conduct in the work place. Cuz, tolerance!
