Twenty-first Day of Advent

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to set aside the last minute rush of the season and just enjoy it all. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

2A: The Brown University shooting has brought out the usual leftist calls to ban guns. But if they couldn’t keep people safe on a gun-free college campus, then what makes them think that disarming an entire nation would be a good idea?

AT THE FAINTING COUCH: Dave Carter’s essay on “The Deadly Side of Luxury Beliefs” doesn’t contain anything we all here in the garden haven’t said a million times. But dang, he says it with so much finesse, panache, and humor that it is totally worth your time. A taste to whet your appetite: “For the final performance in their flaming porta-potty rodeo, our self-appointed superiors displayed a staggering level of ineptitude in foreign policy and national defense that made Neville Chamberlain look like he rode shotgun with Genghis Khan on weekends.”

BROWN U SHOOTER: Rhode Island officials believe the man responsible for murdering two students and injuring nine other on Saturday has been found dead by suicide. The man is also believed to be responsible for the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor. No motive for the shootings has been identified so far.

EVERYDAY HEROES: [5:27] – He’s 12 and completely self-taught.

FILM HISTORY: [31:07] – Another Christmas movie that defied predictions.

LAWFARE: The Little Sisters of the Poor are a Catholic religious order dedicated to serving the elderly poor. Democrats have been using Obamacare for fourteen years to persecute them for refusing to include contraception in their health insurance plan.

After they won in the Supreme Court, the states of New York and Pennsylvania decided to force the issue, so they’re back in court. Mark Rienzi, president of Becket and their lead attorney calls the left’s “14-year legal crusade against the Little Sisters … needless, grotesque, and un-American.”

MILWAUKEE: On Thursday, Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty by a jury on one count of felony obstruction for having helped and illegal alien escape from federal immigration officers on April 18, 2025. Dugan argued that she was acting within the scope of her official duties and therefore entitled to judicial immunity, but attempts to dismiss the case were denied. She can still appeal the verdict.

MIRACLE: Grab a tissue and click the link. H/t to Bob for sharing this with us. ❤

NORTH CAROLINA: After the Randolph County public library’s board of trustees voted to keep a child grooming book on the shelves, the public objected so vociferously that the county commissioners fired them all.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Awaken this truth in every mind and heart in America, lest we fall under the weight of the left’s immature victim mentality. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SECRET SANTA: [8:01] – Arriving by helicopter! I love it!

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2001809524026675365 [1:14] to hear an itty bitty third grader address her school board. Check out what they care about. Spoiler alert: It’s not her personal safety.

WHOOPI: CLICK https://x.com/joeroganhq/status/2002031174273642784 to hear just how stupid this woman really is. She gets paid something on the order of $8 million per year to host The View.

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama and Papa Buzz celebrated 20 years together this week. ❤

    “Every time I look at a piano, I want to play it.”

    I’m also self-taught, but no prodigy nor anywhere near that skilled (nor every paid for my beating up the ivories), but I can relate to that statement

    Nice miracle story and Secret Santa video. Think I need to buy some Kleenex stock.

    The little houses was a nice thing. Mom used to have such a collection of small houses, Christmas village. Wonder what happened to them.

    Biblically accurate angel is… pretty scary! I hope Gabriel presented a bit less terrifyingly to Mary.

    Thanks for all your work all year, chrissy. Merry Chrissymas.

      Awwwwwwwwwwwwww …. thank you!! And I’m pretty sure Gabriel wasn’t so scary. The guardian angels are always depicted as awesomely big and shiny, but human in form. The many eyed ones are cherubim, who have 4 wings each. It’s the seraphim that have six wings, making the graphic (while amusing) biblicaly INaccurate … which I guess is another type of amusement. 😉

    I’m not even a tiny bit surprised that the school board didn’t give a rat’s rear end about the little girl’s right to privacy and safety. As someone who wasted an insane amount of time back during the covid hysteria pleading (to no avail) with our local school board to stop forcing little kids to wear masks all day, I know how she feels. It’s appalling that the suffering of children is of no concern to the people responsible for them for the majority of their waking hours.
