DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to stop having imaginary arguments with these people and to pray for them instead. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2020: Years ago, I heard a prophet say God told him He had allowed the Biden cheat, because He had a bigger plan. We are seeing the fulfillment now.

BORDER: The photo above shows firefighters trying to extricate the vehicle in which a family of three violently perished. God help the loved one(s) who had to identify the mangled remains. :-(“`

We can thank the libtards of California for handing the jackass at the wheel a Commercial Driver’s License.

EVERYDAY HEROES: There are two busts of William Walker, one in Winchester Cathedral and the other in the gardens there. Construction of Winchester Cathedral was begun in 1079 and completed in 1532. Over time, the foundation eroded until, by the summer of 1905, it was near to collapsing. Huge cracks had appeared in the walls, some of them large enough for a small child to crawl into, the walls were bulging and leaning, and stone fell from the walls. Between 1906 and 1911, William Walker worked six hours a day, under the structure, in pitch dark water up to 20 feet deep, shoring up the entire foundation with concrete. When he was finished, King George V presented him with a silver rose bowl to thank him for saving the famous church. This was not the first time Walker had met the monarch; when then-Prince George was a naval cadet, Walker had been his diving instructor.

GERRYMANDERING: Drawing the boundaries of electoral districts in a way that gives an advantage to political party or ethnic group. The term originated in 1812 when Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry oversaw a redistricting effort in Massachusetts that would favor the Democratic Party.

FYI: The Republican Party was not founded until 1854 when anti-slavery activists, including Abraham Lincoln, sought to abolish slavery, which was supported by the Democrats.

Now that you know the practice of gerrymandering was invented by Democrats and named by a political cartoonist in 1812, you can understand the political cartoon below, which was published earlier this month.

NOLA: New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and her former bodyguard, Jeffrey Vappie, have been charged with a combined 18 felony counts related to their adulterous affair. Cantrell, whose term as mayor will end in January, has been canoodling with Vappie for four years, using tax money to finance their hanky panky and more tax money to hide it from their spouses, his employers, and her voters.

RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX: Susan Miller worked for the CIA for 39 years, rounding out her career as the CIA’s Chief of Counterintelligence. Since Trump DNI Tulsi Gabbard released documents showing the evidence behind the Russia! Russia! Russia! witchhunt was fabricated by Democrats, Miller has been making the leftist media rounds to declare, “The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again.”

The Pentagon has reportedly revoked her security clearance. FYI: Security clearances are not automatically revoked when a federal official leaves his/her post. Unless there is a specific reason, such as a security risk or lack of need, they often retain clearances for administrative convenience and/or to provide continuity of expertise to those who replace them.

USPS: For decades, letter carriers waited for residents to answer their signal; if no one was home, they took the mail back to the post office and tried again the next day. Some letter carriers used wooden, dumbbell-shaped door knockers on their rounds. Studies in the early twentieth century showed that carriers spent an average of two hours daily waiting at the doorstep. To save work hours, the Post Office Department required residents to install mailboxes or letter slots in 1916.

  1. I love the story of William Walker. I remember hearing it when I visited Winchester Cathedral many years ago.
