DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Inspire each of us to be as brave as the little girl in the video, walking boldly to light up the world with your love! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen. Alleluia!

CATHOLIC: When the Gospel is about to be read at Mass, the priest says, “A Reading from the Gospel according to St. ____” and the congregation responds, “Glory to You, Oh Lord.” At this time, Catholics make a small cross with the thumb over the forehead, lips, and chest, praying silently, “May the Word of God be ever in my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.”

CONDEMNING SOCIALISM: On Friday, November 21, just hours before New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — a self-described democratic socialist — was scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, the House of Representatives passed a resolution (258-98) condemning socialism in all forms. All of the 98 were Democrats.

G20: On November 28, 2025, President Trump posted, “The United States did not attend the G20 in South Africa, because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers. To put it more bluntly, they are killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them. Perhaps, worst of all, the soon to be out of business New York Times and the Fake News Media won’t issue a word against this genocide. That’s why all the Liars and Pretenders of the Radical Left Media are going out of business! At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony. Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year. South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Hmm … refusing to hand off the presidency to the next host country reminds me of Nancy Pelosi tearing up Trump’s SOTU speech.

JAPAN: Japan’s growing Muslim population is currently estimated at 350,000.

LIFE: Isn’t it interesting how abortion is “only 3%” of the services Planned Parenthood provides, yet as soon as Medicaid stopped covering abortions, all of these places had to shut down?

VAXXXINE: On Friday, Dr. Vinay Prasad, Director of FDA’s vaccine division, reportedly sent a memo to staff revealing that ten children died “after and because of” receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The deaths were related to myocarditis (i.e., inflammation of the heart muscle).

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad reportedly wrote in the memo which has not been publicly released. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

  1. Happy New Month.

    As of December 1, 2025, Planned Parenthood is no longer receiving US federal funding.

    Grok explains, then opines, “…The moratorium applies nationwide and jeopardizes operations at nearly 200 Planned Parenthood health centers, potentially leading to closures and reduced access to care for low-income patients… This defunding aligns with long-standing Republican efforts, amplified under the second Trump administration, to redirect funds away from organizations involved in abortion services despite their role in broader reproductive health care.…”

    That’s one way of putting it. Without mention of the central question of what abortion means. Artificial Ignorance.
