DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Look deep into our hearts and fill us with the joy of Your salvation. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
AMERICAN HISTORY: On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere took his historic ride to warn the people of Lexington and Concord that the British were coming. It’s one of the most famous tales from the Revolutionary War, popularized and romanticized in a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
BORDER: The House of Representatives has passed a resolution directing the Department of Homeland Security to extend Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians, thereby blocking deportations. These seven Republicans voted with the Democrats – Don Bacon (R-NE) Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Mike Lawler (R-NY) Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) Carlos Giménez (R-FL) Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).
CATHOLIC: No. We’re not going to stop being devout Catholics just because we don’t like Pope Leo any more than we stopped being patriotic Americans because we didn’t like President Biden. It’s not about the men at the top; it’s about the faith at the bottom.
CLASS: I’m so sick of people like this tut-tutting about Trump’s memes, jokes, and insults.
DEVIL DUCK: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Py7EmW_MKJ8 [1:45] tell the story of Sergeant Siwash (pron “sea wash”), a courageous Marine Corps duck who may have been the first female Leatherneck war combatant. This is a true story, though Wikipedia says she was won in a raffle, not a card game.

NEW YUCK STATE: TransSec Duffy announced the Trump administration is making good on its threat to withhold federal funding from states that refuse to revoke commercial drivers’ licenses they gave to illegal aliens. Sixteen percent of all the CDLs held by foreigners are issued in New York State, which is set to lose $73.5 million in federal funding for refusing to vet any of them.

OPERATION ECONOMIC FURY: On April 15, Treasury Secretary Bessent announced plans to target Iran economically in a way that will be “the financial equivalent of what we saw in the kinetic activities.”
POPE LEO: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s Twitter/X account was deleted within hours of his election to the papacy on May 8, 2025. Although the account itself no longer exists, there are still screenshots and archives of specific posts showing that, during the some 14 years he tweeted, he had strongly sympathized with Democrat policies. His posts included specific criticisms of the Trump administration’s immigration and deportation policies, J.D. Vance’s interpretation of “ordo amoris.”
On April 14th, 2025, he had posted of the deportation of Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?” I dunno, Leo. How can you stay silent about the suffering of victims of MS-13, the vicious gang the man belongs to?

STRAIT OF HORMUZ: After thanking Iran, Trump said the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian shipping would remain in force until Tehran agrees to a deal.

STUPID PEOPLE: Wisconsin’s Democrat Secretary of State thinks hail is evidence of climate change. FYI: Catastrophic hail events are mentioned in ancient texts from thousands of years before mankind began using fossil fuels. For example, in Joshua 10:11, it says the large hailstones that fell during a battle killed more Amorites than did Israelite swords.
TENNESSEE: Thanks to a bill signed last week by Tennessee governor Bill Lee, June in The Volunteer State will be known as “Nuclear Families Month” … instead of that other thing.
TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT: CLICK https://x.com/DefiantLs/status/2044606705590313175 [4:37] to hear a steaming pile of crap. Thankfully, Piers calls him out on his baloney. ITA, they were not hiding him from us. I saw signs of mental problems during the 2020 campaign and totally expected the Dems to boot him out during his first year. IMO, the only reason they left him in until the bitter end is that a gaga Joe was easier to manipulate than a bitchy Kamala would have been.
One comment noted that the same guy tried to same TDSy crap in 2017. Another commenter posted, “As someone who cares for a family member with dementia, these people infuriate me. They trivialize people who actually have it. If you’ve been around someone with dementia, you would understand that President Trump has NONE of the characteristics of said disease.”
