DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We bring our struggles and temptations to You today. Help us to bear all that we find dark and difficult and assure us that our victories will show the world Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
AOC: During a 90 minute rant on Instagram, the former bartender called Elon Musk “the most unintelligent billionaire I have ever met.” Charlie Kirk retorted, “AOC calling Elon Musk ‘unintelligent’ might actually be the dumbest thing she has ever said, which is really saying something.”

COMPREHENSION: CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1886936057414914172 [:39] to hear a clip from a recent Trump presser. I caught “have any plan to change” but not much else. I love my Russian immigrant dentist, but dang, add the mask to the accent and even “open wider” can be hard for me to decipher. That being said, I also struggle with understanding native English speakers from many areas of the world, including the U.S., including the former resident of the Oval Office.

COVID-19: Argentina’s President Javier Milei has joined Trump in pulling his nation out of the WHO, calling the lockdowns promoted by the agency an economic “catastrophe” and “a crime against humanity.” “We Argentinians will not allow an international organization to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health,” he added.

DOGE: The ‘Outnumbered’ panelists discuss the Department of Government Efficiency’s decision to slim down the government and overhaul USAID. [9:35] – This is really worth watching.
CLICK https://x.com/BonillaJL/status/1886990843141075353 [2:00] to see CNN snicker at Schumer, Maxine, and other Dem idjits chanting in the streets. Look at the expression on the black guy’s face as the white gal says Elon Musk’s DOGE was possibly the smartest thing any president has ever done.
On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held a meeting titled “Rightsizing Government.” According to Newsmax, Ranking Democrat, Gerry Connolly, D-Va., railed against Elon Musk and moved to subpoena him to appear before the committee. The committee voted no.

LIFE: Whose body? Whose choice? – The unborn child of a Louisiana teen-ager was murdered in secret by its grandmother who disagreed with her daughter’s choice to give birth and keep her baby. The woman has been charged with violating a state law against coercion. The New York doctor who sold her the abortion pills by mail has also been charged, but NY Gov. Hochul is refusing to sign Louisiana’s extradition request. Despite the fact that the teen nearly died and that her wanted child did die, Hochul insists that abortion is health care.
Hochul also doesn’t give a toot about Louisiana’s right to regulate what is and is not shipped out of her state, which annoys the heck out of me. In 2023, Gov. Hochul signed a law restricting a whole host of dietary supplements to “adults only.” I have tried to order green tea and psyllium husk powder from Vitacost only to learn at check-out that I would have to pay nearly $10 extra to sign for them in person. The law is alleged to be about protecting minors from engaging in unsafe weight loss and/or body building regimes, which is more than a tad ironic. Why are New York Democrats so anal about protecting kids only after they’re born? And why do they simultaneously protect the illegals who rape and murder them?

MEDIA: The FCC has released the unedited version of the Kamala Harris interview that CBS edited to make her sound less awful. The part they clipped is between the / marks. “Right now, we are supporting Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked aggression, / and doing what we can to continue to build and strengthen the alliance around the support for Ukraine’s right to be an independent nation, free from having its borders forcefully taken by Russia. And we are going to continue to work closely with our NATO allies to continue to reinforce America’s alliance in the context of NATO. /”
USAID: As of Friday, nearly all of the 10,000 workers at USAID will be on leave, with only a small subset of “designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs” exempt. Those posted abroad will be expected to return to the United States within 30 days.
VACCINES: In 1986, President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act into law. Calling vaccines “unavoidably unsafe,” the law protects manufacturers from financial liability. The law was in tended to ensure a stable market supply of vaccines and to provide cost-effective arbitration for vaccine injury claims. In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that the law protects manufacturers from being sued for defects in vaccine design. Twenty-one medical groups, including the American Medical Association (AMA), agree that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” Meanwhile, the mantra “vaccines are safe” is used to justify mandates that, in some cases, violate individual religious beliefs and medical objections.
The #1 thing that pisses me off about vaccine debates is that too many people are “all or nothing” about it. My youngest was injured by the pertussis vaccine in 1985. It was later shown to be too dangerous and has been modified to make it safer. Fortunately, I had an excellent doctor who took a smart approach to vaccinations. His method was to individually evaluate each child’s medical history, each vaccine’s safety record, and each disease before deciding on a vaccine regimen. He considered how treatable each disease was, what its potential risks might be if contracted, and what the likelihood was that the children would come into contact with it. Then, with the vaccines we decided to give them, he was cautious about administering them so we could evaluate how each child responded to each vaccine.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order designed to protect female athletes. He called it “the latest in a sweeping effort to reclaim our culture and our laws from the radical left crusade against biological reality.” The order bans K–12 schools and universities that receive federal funding from allowing biological males to use female facilities or participate in female sports.

Things that should never have even needed to be said department:
That image of Trump, signing the order for only women in women’s sports (what a concept, eh?), surrounded by all those smiling, happy gals, is right up there on the Great Images shelf with the bloodied raised-fist pic. Made me a little misty.
Ol’ Gropey Joe would have stroked out in that situation. (Dark Brandon funny fake)
