DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to truly “fear no evil” as You guide us through dark times and into Your eternal light. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
EDUCATION: Eight federal agencies are terminating another $450 million in grants to Harvard University in response to the institution’s refusal to end anti-Semitic and racist practices. The May 13 statement linked below explains why.

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: CLICK https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1922690069258764465 [2:26] to hear him squirm, dodge, and lie in response to questions about Biden’s mental decline. I’ve got one thing to say about his claim about looking to the future, which is, “Then stop blaming whites and demanding reparations!”
ISIS PLOT FOILED: The DOJ says Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said (19) arrested on May 13 after undercover law enforcement officers learned of his ISIS-inspired plan to conduct a mass shooting at the mililtary arsenal in Warren, Michigan.
Brig. Gen. Rhett R. Cox, the commanding general of the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command, urged all soldiers “to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their chain of command, as the safety and security of our Army and our nation depends on our collective efforts to prevent insider threats.”
LIAR: During a hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Sen. Patty Murray [D-WA] told HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that “the thoughtless mass firing of thousands of critical employees across NIH and HHS that you carried out” was preventing her constituent, Natalie Phelps, from participating in a potentially life-saving clinical trial.
Later, Kennedy looked into Natalie’s case and reported she had been deemed “medically ineligible” for the trial. “It had nothing to do with the [reduction in force] and NIH had been trying to get her into another clinical trial, but none of our clinical trials were shut down because of the R.I.F. That was a canard.” (A canard is “an unfounded or false, deliberately misleading story.”)
MAGA: Forty-seven percent (47%) of likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction. Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell reports this is the highest “right direction” number Rasmussen has seen in its 20 years. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating is at 51%. So much for Hakeem Jeffries’ claim that he is the “most unpopular president in history.”

MEDIA BIAS: [11:48] – I was only surprised that Dems managed to drag Dementia Joe through 4 entire years. When he got elected in 2020, I seriously assumed they would remove him within months so they could elevate the VP. It seems like they didn’t figure on Jill’s tenacity or Kamala’s kamala-ness.
NATIONAL INTEL: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council – whom whistleblowers describe as “radically opposed to Trump” — and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any “politicization of intelligence.”
QATAR: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), called the gift “corrupt” and a “grave national security threat.”
SYRIA: Now that Assad is gone, Trump is lifting sanctions and warming diplomatic relations with the country’s de facto new leaders. He says he wants to give them “a chance at greatness.”

TRUMP in SAUDI ARABIA: [7:21] – “Trump didn’t lecture, he leveraged.” “It’s just day one of the middle east tour and Trump is bringing home the bacon.”
VAXXX: Health officials here and in Europe are recommending that adults aged 60 and up not receive the only available chikungunya vaccine after reports that older individuals who received the shot suffered severe symptoms typically associated with the chikungunya virus. Two of the patients died.
GRAMMY NOTES: So thankful.
