DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord God, awaken us, that we may be ready when your dear Son comes, that we may receive him with joy and serve you with pure hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
ANDREW WOLFE: Two weeks after getting shot in the head, this West Virginia National Guardsmen has gotten up off his bed! He isn’t speaking yet and is still in critical care, so he still needs lots of prayer. But wow!
BORDER: Under Biden, hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who crossed the border disappeared. The current administration is working to locate them all. So far, 62,000 have been rescued from human trafficking and forced labor.
CATHOLIC: [4:19] – Section 188 of Austria’s Criminal Code states, “Whoever, in circumstances where his or her behavior is likely to arouse justified indignation, publicly disparages or insults a person who, or an object which, is an object of veneration of a church or religious community established within the country, or a dogma, a lawful custom or a lawful institution of such a church or religious community, shall be liable to up to six months’ imprisonment or a day-fine for a period of up to 360 days.”
I asked Grok to list convictions under Section 188 involving Catholicism and Islam. This is the list:
May 1985: The Otto-Preminger-Institut was convicted under Section 188 for planing to screen a film depicting God as a senile old man, the Virgin Mary in erotic tension with the Devil, and Jesus as a “low-grade mental defective.” The company was fined and the film seized and destroyed.
January 2009: Politician Susanne Winter was convicted under Section 188 for having called Muhammad a “pedophile” and suggesting forced removal of mosques.
February 2011: A seminar speaker was convicted under Section 189 for saying Muhammad “liked to do it with children” and equated his marriage to Aisha with pedophilia.
DOGE: Reports of the agency’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. On December 6, DOGE posted that another 43 wasteful contracts had been terminated, saving We The Taxpayers $222 million.
DOJ: In 1971, the Supreme Court case Griggs v. Duke Power banned IQ tests for jobs on the basis that they were racist, setting the stage for endless lawsuits based on “disparate impact.” Even where a law or policy was meant to be neutral, if it affected some more than others, it would be struck down by the courts. On December 9, 2025, Trump’s Department of Justice said no more. From now on, lawsuits challenging equality under the law will require proof of actual discrimination.

EVERYDAY HEROES: In 1940, when whispers of Nazi atrocities began to spread, a Polish resistance fighter named Witold Pilecki volunteered to go undercover. Inside Auschwitz, he built a secret network, smuggled out reports, and documented horrors that few could imagine. He watched the machinery of genocide unfold in real time and risked everything to get the truth out.
For two and a half years, he endured starvation, beatings, and death all around him. Then, in 1943, he escaped. Not just to survive, but to warn the Allies. His reports were among the first eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust. After the war, he fought against Soviet control of Poland, was arrested by the communist regime, and executed in 1948.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING: If you want to combine a prank gift with a real gift (or a second prank gift?), check out the empty boxes at the link. I’m debating between “Mold Farm Fungus Habitat (Hurray for Decay!)” and “Bathe and Brew Shower Coffee Maker and Soap Dispenser.”
MILITARY: On Tuesday, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for D.C. ruled, 2-1, to reinstate the War Department’s rule barring individuals with a diagnosis, history of, or symptoms “consistent with” gender dysphoria from joining or remaining in the military.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Heavenly Father, Bless America’s economy. Provide jobs and financial security for families. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SPAIN: In 2022, 21 Spanish pro-lifers were arrested for praying quietly outside an abortion clinic while holding signs reading “You are not alone,” “We are praying for you,” and “40 Days for Life.” During their November 2025 trial, abortion advocates alleged that the pro-lifers harassed the clinic’s clients, but were unable to provide any evidence. The court has just acquitted the defendants saying,
“There is no doubt that the defendants did nothing more than exercise their right to free assembly, choosing a location near a clinic where abortions are performed, understanding that expressing their demands in that place and in the manner they did was the most appropriate way for the message they wished to convey – praying for life and offering their help – to reach its primary recipients directly. “All of this was communicated to the competent authority, and the defendants conducted themselves at all times in an exemplary, peaceful manner.”

The Gutfeld clip was great! And I loved the story about Witold Pilecki. I’m in awe of anyone with that much courage.
