AGT: He’s making all the sounds! [4:15] – It you want to skip the chit chat, watch from :50 to 2:22.

ANTI-CATHOLIC PROPAGANDA: Shame on the media outlets who published this slanderously inaccurate story THIS WEEK! The New York Post (I expect better of you people!) headlined it “796 dead babies found hidden in septic tank at home run by nuns: ‘Dirty little secrets.‘” AP wrote about “a reckoning in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country with a history of abuses in church-run institutions.”

The Bon Secours Sisters who operated the Tuam Mother and Baby Home in County Galway, Ireland, buried many of those who died on their property. The exhumations are the result of a local historian finding death certificates, but no burial records, for 796 infants and young children who had died at the home.

Three things must be noted. One is that the historian’s discovery was initially report in 2014 … eleven years ago … and was declared a hoax by Forbes … also in 2014! Second, the number of deaths is not unusual, given the rigors of the Great Depression, World War II, and the lack of antibiotics. And finally, the little ones were neither dumped nor murdered and hidden in the sewer system. They died of natural causes and were buried; some were interred inside a burial chamber the sisters had built within a decommissioned septic tank.

IOW, the only “scandalous” part is that the graves were not individually marked, which I, personally, do not find all that surprising. Charitable facilities have always operated on thin-to-non-existent budgets; if you had to choose between food and heat for living children or grave markers for dead ones, which would you go with? There is also the possibility that many of the unwed mothers may been unwilling to have their sins displayed on grave markers.

ARNIE: CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1935034547608903841 to hear what Schwarzenegger said. ::snork:: They thought they were having Mr. “Screw Your Freedom” on the show. Instead they got Mr. “Legal Immigrant.” Oops!

BLUE COLLAR WAGES: Due to falling inflation, tough border enforcement, and Trump’s pro-worker policies, blue collar wages are up nearly 2%, the strongest growth in 60 years.

CHICOMS: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that President Trump has secured a new U.S.-China trade deal to rebalance global manufacturing, slash China’s tariff rate to 10%, and restore American dominance in precision manufacturing.

HOCHUL: CLICK https://x.com/_retrops/status/1935134314129146076 and ignore the nonsense she’s spewing. Just watch her face. I learned today that this weird look is likely due to Botox injections.

FBI: Director Patel has given congressional leaders evidence that the Chinese government created fake U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a plot to create voter identities for Chinese residents living in the United States so they could vote for Biden. This would be the same Chinese government that funneled money to the Biden crime family in exchange for political favors at the highest level of our government.

FOUNDING FATHERS: CLICK https://x.com/SandyofCthulhu/status/1935055855436845218 to listen to the blatherings of someone who has clearly never read the Federalist Papers. Another commenter noted: “Thomas Jefferson had over 6,700 books in his personal library. He sold most of them to the Library of Congress in 1815.”

MIKE ROWE’S MOM: [9:04] – So worth your time! ROFL

MOSTLY PEACEFUL: Kevin Krebs attended an anti-Trump “No Kings” rally armed with a fully-loaded Sig Sauer P329 handgun, three loaded Sig Sauer handgun magazines, six loaded Assault Rifle magazines, an M9 bayonet knife, a pocket knife, pepper spray, a ski mask and gloves. His brother Alex said Kevin was at the rally to support its message and, allegedly, he took the armory to “protect himself.” This begs the question … why did police find a pipe bomb at Kevin’s home? And why is he out on bail?!

QUEENS: After some lady fell on the sidewalk at 77th Street and 19th in Queens, she sued the property owner and the city for failing to maintain the surface. The city responded by declaring they did not actually own that sidewalk; the owner of the building did. Therefore, he was solely responsible for maintenance, trash removal, and liability for injuries.

The property owner did some research and discovered the city was right. He does own the land upon which the city built the sidewalk, as well as part of the street, including ten parking spaces, without buying it from him. Since the city held firm on making him financially responsible for the land they stole, he decided to fence it to protect himself from liability.

The city is trying to levy fines for his fence and the neighbors are riled about the loss of those ten free parking spaces. But the property owner is holding firm. I’m on his side. Considering all the whining Democrats do about land that once upon a long time ago “belonged” to Native Americans and all the demanding they do for taxpayers to provide “reparations” to people whose long-dead ancestors were slaves and all the taxpayer moneys they give to illegals … surely, the Democrat-run city ought to be more than happy to reimburse this guy!
