DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill us with Your spirit of truth so that we may discern rightly when to say, “Yes, Lord”, and when to say “Get behind me, Satan.” In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CANADA: Trudeau’s temper tantrum cooled quickly. Like Mexico’s president, he has agreed to send 10,000 troops to the border in exchange for a one month pause in Trump’s tariffs. Canada has also agreed to appoint a “fentanyl czar,” invest $139 million (C$200 million) in intelligence operations targeting fentanyl, designate cartels as terrorist organizations, and establish a partnership with the U.S. Joint Strike Force to fight fentanyl trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering.

FAFO: CLICK https://x.com/injurypics/status/1886655992433156127 [1:50] to see a video shot yesterday outside the White House. It took less than a minute for cops to put this idiot on the ground.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: Bobby has passed the first hurdle, with the Senate Finance Committee having voted 14-13 in favor of his confirmation. Now, he goes to the full Senate. I wonder if Bernie Sanders will bring up those onesies again …
LANDFILLHARMONIC: [3:31] – Wow!
SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to submit a plan for creating a sovereign wealth fund within 90 days. The plan should include recommendations on “funding mechanisms, investment strategies, fund structure, and a governance model.”
A sovereign wealth fund would allow the United States government to invest money in real financial assets to build wealth the same way you can in your own private investments. Multiple US States have similar plans, along with dozens of countries including China, Russia, UAE, Norway, Italy, and Mexico.
Commodore Vanderbilt at Not The Bee explains, “This is an enormous change in how tax money (especially tariffs) are spent in the United States. Right now, the government forces its own citizens, on penalty of jail, to pay a significant portion of their income so that the government can spend it. The government then spends the money on wild projects in foreign countries that enrich politicians … while driving up the national debt annually.
“This order shifts everything from that Sheriff-of-Nottingham model to one that gets money from imports and then invests that money so it can strategically fund projects in the national interest. Americans will still pay taxes in the form of higher prices at the store, but the federal government’s revenue will be based on trade and invested for future use.”

USAID: Elon Musk said DOGE focused on USAID, because it was the government agency most disobedient to Trump’s executive orders. USAID only exists because of an executive order.

Under President Joe Biden’s administration, the organization spent tens of millions to promote abortion in Africa.
SecState Marco Rubio is now acting head of USAID. He promises a program-by-program review of which projects make “America safer, stronger, or more prosperous.”

Inspirational Bible quote — what the Devil? 😈
(‘Scuse the language. Just seemed appropriate.) Somebody either didn’t know what they were doing, or, worse, did.
