DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thy kingdom come! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ABC NEWS: CLICK https://x.com/AndrewKolvet/status/2052571689033125935 [1:28] to hear how Trump responded to a “stupid question” from “ABC Fake News.”

ALIENS: Yesterday, the Department of War released the first batch of “Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects” files. I remember presidential candidates as far back as Bill Clinton promising to release the military’s files. None of them actually did it … until now. Given my believe that these phenomena are caused by demons, Trump’s “WHAT THE HELL” seems spot on.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On May 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House.

DEMOCRATS: Peter Heck writes, “One of the more subtle twists in our culture’s moral decline is the way ‘authenticity’ has quietly become a substitute for goodness. Wisdom, virtue, holiness, and integrity are now routinely sacrificed at the altar of unapologetic self-expression.”

The Bulwark published an article by Sarah Longwell entitled, “The Man Behind the Tattoo: What Maine voters see in Graham Platner, according to our focus group.” In it, she explains that, “Voters want candidates who are authentically themselves—warts and all. In fact, a candidate’s vices have started to become markers of authenticity.”

Warts and all” … unless they’re Republican warts or, gasp, Trumpian warts. Then they’re unredeemably EEEEEVIL.

EDUCATION: Connecticut is trying to stop parents from home schooling. But education majors have the lowest-scores on the GRE, SAT, and ACT and little of what they are taught in college is relevant to what they end up doing.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Jaydon Cintron (18), of Kinston, North Carolina, found $10,000 in Chick-Fil-A’s bathroom, he turned it over to Human Resources. When asked why, he said, “Because that’s what Jesus would do.

NBC News: On May 7, 2026, NBC News published a news story by David K. Li in which the lede read, “Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after a venomous spider bit him.

The so-called “civil rights rally” was a riot in Kenosha. Kyle, who was only 17 at the time, was attempting to protect a relative’s propert when he was assaulted by three white men, all about 10 years older than him and one of whom was armed. In November 2021, a jury acquitted him on all charges after finding he acted in self-defense.

MICHIGAN: Fay Beydoun, a businesswoman and longtime donor to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, has been charged with 16 felonies after allegedly misusing a $20 million state grant.

TENNESSEE: Gov. Lee has signed a new U.S. congressional map into law that splits the Democratic stronghold of Memphis into three U.S. congressional seats.

VIRGINIA: The Virginia Supreme Court declared last month’s redistricting referendum unconstitutional. The old map, which fairly represents Virginia voters, will be in effect for the midterms. In their motion to delay the VA Supreme Court’s ruling, Virginia Democrats managed to misspell both “Virginia” and “Senator.”
