COVID-19: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1273237280230935 and watch to the end. It’s short.

EXORCIST: Msgr. Rossetti’s latest diary entry is all about how boring demons are. “Demons are narcissistic and nasty. Their words are full of hatred and arrogance. And that is all they do. Malignant narcissism, in hell or on this earth, is profoundly boring.

“There is no creativity. It is one long angry diatribe against all that is good. In short, it is incredibly boring. Demons do not know how to create or inspire. They can only destroy.”

Kinda sounds a lot like Wrongs. And he has good advice. “What is the best thing to do? Ignore them. As one saint said upon seeing a demon at the foot of the bed: “Oh, it’s only you.” Such deflates a narcissist.”

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1672189575391850502 [1:00] to hear a recording from 2020 when then-candidate Joe Biden angrily snarled at Peter Doocey for even asking him about his involvement with Hunter Biden’s business dealings: “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

Not like we believed him for a moment. I mean, the year before, Hunter had told the New Yorker that he had discussed Burisma with his father in December of 2015. At the time of the conversation, VP Joe was preparing for a trip to the Ukraine as the Obama administration’s special envoy and Hunter was getting paid big bucks to do nothing much on Burisma’s board of directors.

Then, last summer, a voicemail recording from Hunter’s Laptop from Hell demonstrated that he had also discussed Hunter’s dealings with the Chinese oil giant CEFC in December 2018. In the voicemail, Joe says, “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you’re clear.”

More recently, we heard about the extortion texts Hunter sent to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao in which Hunter demands Zhao cough up the bucks or else. It is clear that his father was sitting right there, waiting with Hunter for Zhao to phone them about the matter.

And now we have Democrat Representative Dan Goldman admitting on record that Hunter discussed his business dealings with his dad. CLICK https://rumble.com/v316mmc-democrat-accidentally-proves-joe-biden-did-business-with-hunter.html [7:18]. At 4 minutes, he reiterates even more strongly that he “never discussed” and goes on to claim there was an “absolute wall” and “strict, strict rules” to keep his family’s business and his politics separate.

The WH is responding as per usual – i.e., acting like the print and media evidence of Joe’s denials never happened. Note the switch from “never discussed period” to “not in business with.”

“As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son. As we have also said many times before, the Justice Department makes decisions in its criminal investigations independently, & in this case, the White House has not been involved.“

They’ll probably stick with this, since “not in business with” can be interpreted to mean that Joe does not appear on any public records, say as a partner or member of the board of directors, of any of Hunter’s businesses.

FBI: Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows U.S. intelligence to obtain the online communications without a warrant only of foreign nationals living abroad. In June 2022, the FBI used it to snoop into the online business of a U.S. senator and a state senator. In October, they did it to a state judge. Section 702 is set to expire at the end of the year, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have said they will refuse to back its reauthorization without significant reforms.

JUST STOP OIL: I’ve reported before on the antics of this ridiculous eco-terror group … throwing paint on masterpieces (which thankfully have glass protecting them); super-gluing their hands to walls, floors, and streets; blocking traffic; and, most recently, refusing to clear a way for a woman trying to get her sick newborn to the hospital. So, while I normally would not condone this kind of thing, in their case I’m just laughing and laughing cuz they totes deserved it.

MEDIA: The New York Slime published an angry article entitled, “The Steep Cost of Ron DeSantis’s Vaccine Turnabout” in which the authors recount how the evil Ron went his own way during the pandemic, even ::gasp:: opposing the jab (drawing horns and tail on).

Then, in paragraph fourteen, they admit, “Overall, the state’s death rate during the pandemic, adjusted for age, ended up better than the national average.” Even further down, they admit, “The total excess mortality of Florida is strikingly similar to that of the entire United States, despite older than average population of the Sunshine State.”

IOW … the only “steep cost” is that voters are well aware that Gov. DeSantis’ pandemic management was far superior to President Biden’s.

TRANS: Prisha (Abigail) Mosley (24) is suing the therapists, doctors, and medical facilities who claimed that taking testosterone and cutting off her breasts would resolve all her traumas and identity issues. Mosley’s teen years were traumatic to say the least. Her story is tragic and infuriating.

TWITTER: Elon Musk has announced he plans to get rid of the birds, starting with changing the name of his platform to his favorite letter, X. In fact, he’s so enthused by his new logo that he had it projected onto the side of Twitter HQ building.

Inquiring minds are asking … if we get rid of all the birds, what will we be doing instead of “tweeting”? I mean … “xing” is kinda weird, but I suppose we’d all get used to it just like we got used to “LOL” and all the rest.

BARBIE: Ezra Dulis at Breitbart says the trailers promise a “light fun adventure” about a Barbie doll going on a “quest into the Real World,” but delivers “a series of moralizing monologues.” Lauren Chen agrees, noting that “the lengths the studio went to hide how INSUFFERABLY WOKE this movie is are astounding.” And Christian Toto says the only thing missing from its man-hating script are a few Handmaid’s Tale robes. And, while the movie appears to be marketed for young girls and their moms, it includes dialogue about things like “sexualized capitalism, “patriarchy anxiety”, “Proustian flashback,” and “irrepressible thoughts of death.” It will be interesting to see how the first and second week-end box office takes compare.

In other Wrong news, California’s per-pupil spending is among the highest for all states (more than $20,000 per K-12 student). On national math SAT scores, California ranked 30th in the nation. In fact, two out of three California students fail to meet basic math standards. So, in yet another move that proves the Wrongs are out to destroy America, the California Board of Education voted to address this catastrophic failure by adopting a new math education framework that focuses on equity and social justice.

GOP state Sen. Scott Wilk, of Santa Clarita, who serves on the California Senate Education Committee, criticized the move. “If California wants to be a STEM leader it needs to keep high standards, and prove to minority students and students in underserved communities that they have the power within them to master those standards.” But sir … that’s the whole point. They do not want STEM leaders. They want dumb, dependent, angry sheep who vote Democrat and who will roll over for the one world dictator and take the Mark of the Beast.

Today’s Climate Lesson

Every leftie move to grab more power and money begins with a cooked up “emergency.”

Matt Walsh remarked on Ilhan Omar’s idiotic tweet, “If you believe that we have precise daily temperature records dating back 120 thousand years, then this claim may seem credible. But if you are approximately smarter than a sea sponge then you know that this is hysterical bullshit.”

I would agree, except I think it would be an insult to the Squarepants family. Below, I have put together a brief history lesson on this topic. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermoscope, which for the first time allowed temperature variations to be measured. It did not measure temperatures.

In 1612, the Santorio Santorio put a numerical scale on his water thermoscope. While it measured temperature, it was not very accurate. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II, used alcohol instead of water, but it still wasn’t very accurate. It was not until 1714, that Daniel Fahrenheit invented the first accurate mercury thermometer and, in 1724, introduced the standard temperature scale that bears his name. But it wasn’t until 1880, that anyone began systematically recording global surface temperatures.

We need to keep in mind that, when the leftie news says, “The hottest day in recorded history,” they are not talking about the past 6,000 years, but rather the past 143 years. In addition, we need to be aware that in 1880 the globe was coming out of what is known as the Little Ice Age. IOW, the warming we’ve been experiencing is part of a normal global trend. It only looks alarming, because they start the graph during an unusually cold period.

While it is true that we don’t have accurate surface temperature records from long ago, it is also true that various physical (e.g., tree rings) and historical records (e.g., agricultural, trade and population data) allow us to roughly estimate climate conditions. And these sources show that the Earth was both markedly warmer and markedly colder than it is now:

  • The Roman Warm Period (ca. 250 BC to 400 AD)
  • The Medieval Warm Period (ca. 1000 AD to 1200 AD)
  • The Little Ice Age (ca. 1300 AD to 1800 AD)

During all of those periods, humanity thrived. The very idea that fossil fuels are driving climate change or that a relatively small change in global temperature averages will wipe us out and kill the planet are beyond ludicrous.

BARBIE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJLSIP9TD3k [10:20] to hear a scathing review by Dr. Ted Baehr. “The movie is worse than you could possibly expect. It’s hardcore propaganda … attack on men and women alike.” From what else I’ve read, it sounds like it glorifies the Sin of Eve – i.e., the desire to control men.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY: FBI documents released yesterday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) provide more evidence of the pay-to-play skulduggery of Joe and his clan. In them, an FBI confidential human source (CHS) reported what Burisma’s co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told him about a meeting he had in in August 2016 when Joe Biden was Obama’s VP and point man on all things Ukraine.

According to the CHS report, the Bidens coerced Zlochevsky into paying the Bidens $10 million in exchange for using the weight of the United States government on his behalf. Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma; Zlochevsky wanted him gone. So money changed hands, Shokin got the ax, and the investigation into Burisma dirty dealings disappeared. Zlochevsky later told the CHS that he had seventeen recordings to back up his claim, two with Joe Biden and 15 with Hunter Biden.

DESTROYING AMERICA: Open borders, inflation, crippling debt, political division, social unrest, moral corruption, rampant violence, and the destruction of our once vast military capacity … let me think. What else has he done to get us ready to be conquered by the forces of Anti-Christ? Oh yes. Deplete our oil reserve. Stephen Green at PJ Media explains,

“The SPR was created under President Gerald Ford in 1975 following the 1973–1974 Arab oil embargo, which turned out to be just the first of that decade’s two major oil shocks. Set in massive salt caverns in Louisiana and Texas, the SPR was supposed to hold enough crude oil—714 million barrels— to help us weather any future embargo. It took until about 2010—35 years!—to fill those reservoirs all the way up. It took Dementia Joe just two years to cut our reserves in half, down to levels not seen since 1983.”

Edward Luwak at Unherd explains at the link below why he believes China is preparing for war.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1682184063480733696 [:07] to hear our Commander-in-Chief say, “How many times you read in infla – that a recession’s comin’? They’ven in Wall Street today said no they don’t see a resheck comin’ now.”

PRACTICING THE PRESENCE OF GOD: In his book, Brother Lawrence shows us how to practice the presence of God, which he calls “the holiest, most common, most necessary practice in the spiritual life.” The practice of the presence of God is to take delight in his divine company and to talk lovingly with him at all times, especially in times of temptation, suffering, spiritual aridity, disgust, and even of unfaithfulness and sin. “By this continual mindfulness of God we shall crush the head of the devil and cause his weapons to fall from his hand.”

N.b., continual mindfulness of God is not the same as the self-centered mindfulness promoted by New Agers.

UK: Nigel Farage is a British broadcaster and former politician who heavily supported Brexit. His bank closed his accounts because his political beliefs did not align with their own. IOW, he isn’t bending the knee at the Wrongs’ altar.

This kind of thing will only become more common as we speed toward the end of time. We need to be fully prayed up at all times so that, when the caca hits the propeller, we will not cave to pressure or fear, but be bold in the Lord and confident in our salvation.

BIDENOMICS: On July 11, the White House sent out a tweet claiming that real (i.e., inflation-adjusted average) wages had gone up by 3.5% on  Biden’s watch.

Five days later, FAUXTUS tweeted, “Right now, real wages for the average American worker is higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains. That’s Bidenomics.”

The next day, a reporter told KJP that these alleged facts were in fact incorrect. KJP said the White House disagrees with the data. “Everything that you are seeing with our economy being stronger, wages going up … is because of Bidenomics.“

Oh, and by the way, “we’re looking at the data from February of 2021.” However, if you compare real wages now with what the Trump economy produced – i.e., before the pandemic began – then, they are down 3.3%. And prices are up 16.6%.

MILITARY: In addition to free psychological counseling, trannies in Biden’s Woke Military enjoy waivers from deployment, as well as from grooming, uniform, and physical fitness standards. In addition, they have access to the following taxpayer funded benefits:

  • cross-sex hormones ($1,500 per year)
  • breast augmentation surgery ($5K to $10K)
  • feminizing rhinoplasty ($5K to $6K)
  • full feminizing facial surgery including hairline lowering, forehead contouring, cheek implants, chin augmentation, and lip lift ($20K to $50K)
  • genital mutilation surgery ($10K and $30K)
  • partial to full mastectomy ($1,273 – $14K)
  • laser hair removal ($2400 and up, depending on how many sessions are needed)
  • voice feminization surgery ($5,500 to $9K)
  • paid time off to recover from surgeries (weeks to months)

So far as I know, there is nothing preventing someone from enlisting for the sole purpose of getting these benefits without having to … you know … actually serve or … I dunno … go some place where they could get shot at like my kids have done eleven times.

How anybody that smart could do something this dumb is a puzzlement.

LOUISIANA: The state legislature has successful overturned Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards’ veto of a bill to ban cross-sex medical treatments for minors. Louisiana Rep. Laurie Schlegel pointed out the distorted logic that is involved in the movement to prescribe permanent bodily changes to young people.

“As a counselor, I know of no other mental health disorder where we affirm distorted thinking. We don’t affirm the distorted thinking of anorexic children who suffer body dysmorphia, do we? And since studies have shown that gender dysphoria does not persist in most children past puberty, why would any so-called treatment include irreversible medical procedures? The suggestion that the only hope for children experiencing gender dysphoria is cross-sex hormone therapy, puberty blockers, or life-changing sex operations is ludicrous. These children need intensive mental health counseling.”

Matt Walsh says, “Nearly every rap song for the past 30 years has directly and enthusiastically glorified murder, drug dealing, robbery, and every other violent crime, and these people say nothing. One of the top rap videos on YouTube is called Robberies by King Von and it’s all about him robbing and killing people. The rapper was recently killed in a gang shooting. Before his death, he was implicated in multiple murders and other crimes. But Jason Aldean is the problem.”

CULTURE OF DEATH: The slippery slope is real. In 2016, the Canadian health care system started offering Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID, aka, assisted suicide) just for incurable, terminally ill adults.

In 2022, they expanded it to those with non-terminal illnesses, diseases, or disabilities “in an advanced state of decline that cannot be reversed” and because of which the patient is experiencing “unbearable physical or mental suffering … that cannot be relieved.”

Technicalities aside, we have heard from people who wanted, but were denied help to live, then were told, “Oh, but wait! We can help you die! All you have to do is ask!” One of these was a paraplegic veteran who just wanted a stair elevator installed in her home that would accommodate her wheelchair.

Keep in mind that government bean counters control all of the health care in Canada and that killing people is much cheaper than caring for them. Private health care is illegal in Canada, meaning, of course, that those who can afford to come here. In 2016, more than 63,000 Canadians opted to pay for U.S. surgical procedures they either couldn’t get in Canada or that had unacceptably long wait times.

Canada’s Justice Minister, David Lametti, says he is proud of this “slow and careful” expansion of the MAID program, which is currently responsible for about 3% of all deaths in Canada. Proponents are now pushing to expand MAID to minors and the mentally ill, which they now openly acknowledge would be used on expensive and marginalized citizens the government refuses to help.

COVID-19: Lefties are freaking out about a hamburger franchise banning employees from wearing masks unless they have a doctor’s note certifying that they need one. One of them tweeted something so clueless that I really had to wonder if it wasn’t meant as satire. But no, the guy’s bio makes it clear that he is perfectly serious. ::smh::

“The situation at In-N-Out Burger (masks banned for employees) is a stark warning of what is to come. First, masks are banned for employees of businesses. Next, masks are banned for customers. Finally, masks are banned everywhere, in every setting. This must not be accepted.”

Keep in mind … this is the kind of guy who 100% supported shutdown, mask, and vaxxx mandates AND who denies there is any such thing as a slippery slope.

DISNEY: The new live-action version of Snow White features a Hispanic actress with tan (not white as snow) skin and brown (not black as ebony) hair. But hey, at least she’s a she! The seven dwarfs have also progressively morphed into one dwarf and a band of spunky magical companions of all sizes, races and genders. The one actual Little Person who got a role is Peter Dinklage who complained about Disney’s original plan to cast seven as unprogressive stereotyping … thereby denying his fellow LP actors a shot at six feature film roles.

Commenters noted that it looked like “a bad version of the lord of the rings” or “a Monty Python remake.” Others said it was “cultural appropriation” and suggested they do remakes of “Pocahontas” and “Mulan” using Caucasian actors. A Caucasian lady said, “I always related to her, now you’re taking that away from me! I’m offended!” In summary: “Disney is crapping all over western culture. The same western culture that is the reason they can exist in the first place.” Bingo.

MICHIGAN: Last week, the all-Muslim city council of Hamtramck voted to ban the display of the LGBT Pride flag on city property. Two officials on Hamtramck’s Human Relations Commission promptly flew the thing on city property. So the city council unanimously voted them out of their jobs.

A gay commenter said, “The pride flag was created by Gilbert Baker, a Drag Queen & open advocate for pedophilia (Member of NAMBLA: pedo organization) who purposely chose the rainbow to lure children as it was a classic children’s symbol. That flamboyant nonsense has never represented me.”

TUCKER: CLICK https://twitter.com/William_E_Wolfe/status/1680634360733528066 [3:48] to hear him talk about how he has been reading the Bible for the first time ever. I remember some years ago listening to him and thinking, “He really needs to read the Bible.” I’m so glad to see he’s waking up to the spiritual war driving the stuff he reports on.

GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVDqRyMf_4g [24:17] to watch a fun episode of Mike Rowe’s new show. The place he visits is amazing! My favorite is the teeter totter labyrinth game, probably because it combines two things I enjoyed in my childhood. 🙂

ALASKA: Just one day after a media backlash, the Alaska Department of Corrections revoked its ban on altar wine.

EVs: The owner of a Rivian R1T electric pickup truck got into a minor fender bender at a stoplight earlier this year. The other driver’s insurance offered him $1,600 for repairs that ended up costing $42,000, about half the sticker price of the vehicle when new.

INDIANA: Two courts have now ruled in favor of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis for firing a Catholic school teacher who entered into a same sex union. Her job contract specified that she had an obligation “to uphold Church teaching in both word and deed.”

IOWA: Gov. Reynolds has signed a “heartbeat bill” into law which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, or after six weeks. Iowa is now the 13th state to have a heartbeat law on the books.

J6: CLICK https://rumble.com/v2ypb62-tucker-drops-jan-6-bombshell-that-never-made-it-to-air.html [:57] to hear Tucker talk about when he learned the January 6 “mob” was packed with law enforcement agents.

In other news, attorneys for Jan. 6 prisoner Edward Jacob (Jake) Lang filed a document with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) challenging the government’s obstruction of Congress charge—one of the most common felony charges used against Jan. 6 defendants—which carries a 20-year prison sentence.

MEDIA: Ditto Trump walking carefully down a slippery metal ramp in new leather shoes vs. Biden stumbling on stairs, tripping over stuff, startling at shadows, wandering off in the wrong direction, etc. etc. etc.

GRAMMY NOTES: So true. However, it was not as painful as having my flip-flopped foot slip off the front and get turned under the pedal, top-to-macadam and toes pointing backwards while I was moving.
