CA: A federal grand jury has indicted Williamson and four other co-conspirators of funneling $225,000 in money from a dormant campaign account. Williamson is also accused of falsely claiming more than $1.7 million in fraudulent business expenses on her taxes, for a $15,000 Chanel bag, a chartered jet and a nearly $170,000 birthday trip to Mexico.

CATHOLIC: [28:35] – Baby Brian Gallagher’s body was discovered to be in an apparently incorrupt state 37 years after his death in 1982, when his remains were exhumed for reinterment in 2019 at Black Hills National Cemetery in South Dakota. According to accounts from his parents, Mary Pat and Shawn Gallagher, and the funeral director involved, the infant’s body appeared remarkably preserved—described as looking “like we had just buried him that day,” with rosy cheeks, smooth skin, intact limbs, and even fresh-looking autopsy incisions—allowing it to be gently handled and re-dressed without decomposition or disturbance. This phenomenon has been interpreted by the family and Catholic commentators as a potential sign of divine grace, particularly in light of a conditional baptism performed shortly after his death, offering hope to grieving parents of infants who died without prior baptism. The story has gained attention in Catholic circles as a modern example of incorruptibility, though it remains unofficial and open to further discernment by the Church.

FAKE NEWS: On November 14, 2025, the Daily Mail published an article entitled, “Kash Patel hired deputy FBI director with no background check in extraordinary vetting breach.” Despite the sweeping allegation in the headline, the meat of the story is that Bongino was not required to take a polygraph test. ::smh:: Those things are unreliable enough that they aren’t admissible in court, so add an ::eyeroll::

Dan Bongino @FBIDDBongino responded, “All,

“I’m sincerely sorry for wasting your time on a weekend with nonsensical media fairytales, and I do realize the act of addressing this puts even more eyes on it.

“However, I work for you all, the American citizenry, on our nations’ top national security issues, and I can’t allow false headlines like this to stand.

“Claiming I was hired ‘with no background check’ is just a lie. It’s a complete fabrication. I held a security clearance, while protecting Democrat and Republican presidents, for over ten years. And all of the background check requirements for my current position as Deputy Director of the FBI have been met. Those are simple facts.

“Again, my apologies for wasting your time on this but I work for you and you should know the facts. I’m honored to serve in the Trump administration alongside Director Patel as your Deputy Director, and I will continue to hit the gas pedal on crushing violent crime and securing the Homeland.

“God bless America, and all those whose defend Her.”

  1. Cats do love anything crocheted. The nature of crochet is to create lots of little air pockets that act as insulation, holding onto the cat’s body warmth. Every time I’ve crocheted an afghan for one of my kids, their cats end up appropriating it.
