DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for all the times You have encouraged and sheltered and carried us each through troubled times. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

1A: CLICK https://x.com/TONYxTWO/status/1927539070336700422 [1:36] to hear what happened at January 2025 at the Aransas Pass (Texas) City Council meeting. A lawsuit, Followell v. City of Aransas Pass et al (Case 2:24-cv-00055), was filed in March 2024 is still pending as of May 27, 2025. The case hinges on whether Followell’s speech was protected under the First Amendment or if his removal was justified to maintain meeting decorum.

Grok says, “The First Amendment protects free speech, including profanity, in public forums like city council meetings, unless it’s fighting words or truly disruptive. Decorum rules are valid if content-neutral and needed for order, but can’t silence valid criticism. In Followell’s case, his removal for profanity is debated in his ongoing lawsuit, with no ruling yet. Both matter, but free speech often takes priority unless it derails the meeting. Context is key—courts will decide the balance.

AI VIDEO TELLS: There is a discussion @ https://notthebee.com/article/no-one-seems-to-realize-that-this-viral-clip-is-ai about why a recently viral video is almost certainly AI-generated. As with staged videos where actors portray some click-baity skit, the biggest thing I see is too-perfect camera framing. Genuine “on the spot” videos taken by a security camera or some bystander with a phone don’t look like this.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS: Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy wants to offer retirees a 20% salary bonus to stay on. Since Biden’s DEI push trashed the ATC workforce, Trump’s people are working to accelerate training and hiring.

BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL: On Sunday, Trump gave Senate Republicans permission to make major changes to the House-passed bill. “I want the Senate and the senators to make the changes they want. It will go back to the House and we’ll see if we can get them. In some cases, the changes may be something I’d agree with, to be honest.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: SCOTUS is currently considering this issue. There is an interesting article about it @ https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/05/27/why-constitution-doesnt-guarantee-birthright-citizenship/.

DEMOCRATS: [1:48] – CLICK https://x.com/LangmanVince/status/1927480304417055114 [1:42] to listen to Jake Tapper have an ah ha moment about his beloved party.

HARVARD: Harvard behavioral scientist Francesca Gino was paid $1 million a year to study honesty and ethical behavior. After it was determined that she had manipulated her data to support her preferred conclusion, the school revoked her tenure. She’s suing. Of course.

OH, CANADA: If this is at all serious, and I don’t know at all if it is, I am 100% opposed to adding all of Canada as the 51st state, because it would give Ontario (far left) and Quebec (demands French on everything) an insane amount of power in the House of Representatives. If we added Canada as ten new states, Ontario’s and Quebec’s House seats would still have a significant, left-leaning impact; however, the less populated provinces would at least some seats in the House and, very importantly, would each gain 2 seats in the Senate.

RIGHT TRACK: The current “right track” number is the highest in polling history. Rasmussen’s lead pollster, Mark Mitchell, says “right track, wrong track” is the best predictor of how Americans view the current administration, beating out things like presidential approval by a lot.

SEATTLE: I wish people would not bring children to events where the likelihood of violence is this high. See clips @ https://notthebee.com/article/wild-videos-antifa-attacks-christian-worship-event-at-seattle-city-hall.

VAXXX: On May 21, 2025, the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations published its report on the Biden administration’s decision not to warn the public about potentially deadly side effects associated with COVID vaccines.

The earliest jabs were given in mid-December of 2020, approximately five weeks before Biden took office toward the end of January of 2021. Federal health officials knew as early as February 2021 that these vaccines were associated with myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the thin sac surrounding the heart).

Instead of warning the public, the Biden White House “distribut[ed] talking points to top U.S. health officials,” including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, actually downplaying the risk of myocarditis. They later went so far as to impose vaccine mandates on anybody and everybody they could to “take the jab or lose your job.”

Those of us who refused the vaxxx well remember how their aggressive publicity campaign led to us being shamed in public and shunned by family and friends.
