BOSTON: A program for advanced fourth, fifth and sixth graders in Boston was suspended because they are 70% White and Asian. Boston Public Schools are 80% Black.
Hmm … maybe instead of punishing White and Asian kids who study hard and do their homework, they should do something about changing the corrupt Black culture that disrespects academic achievement.
COVID-19: “For 100 years almost, since we’ve been developing immunity capability, people have always known if you survive smallpox, you don’t get it again. You get chickenpox, you don’t get it again. You get a vaccine; you stop worrying about polio, etc. For the first time ever, here is a series of vaccines, safe and effective, 95 plus percent effective, and what’s happening? They’re telling us to leave our masks on, to continue social distancing. That’s absurd.” – Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)
GOVERNOR NIPPLE RINGS: Top donors have put away their checkbooks in the wake of Andrew’s nursing home scandal, his attempt to cover it up, and now the allegations of on-going sexual harassment and abuse.
“Unless he comes forward and faces it completely and openly and honestly, he doesn’t deserve a fourth term, even though I like him immensely,” said businessman Bernard Schwartz who has donated $70,000 to Cuomo over the last two years.
HYATT HOTELS: When left-wing activists tried to pressure the hotel chain for hosting CPAC, Hyatt told them to take a hike.
“We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company.”
ILLITERATES: President Biden removed mentions of Dr. Seuss from Read Across America Day amid accusations of “racial undertones” in the classic, whimsical tales for children. Huh? Did they NOT get the “racism is bad” messages that are IN those stories?! Morons.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: New Yorkers learned about Cuomo’s COVID-19 nursing home scandal in April 2020. Throughout the next eight months, the Slime Stream Media would devote all of 51 seconds to the subject.
During the first two months of 2021, as the depths of Cuomo’s duplicity have become apparent, those same newscasts have delivered a scant 10 minutes, 56 seconds. By contrast, they obsessed about Sen. Ted Cruz’s trip to Cancun for 8 minutes, 51 seconds over the course of just four days.
MISS USA: A U.S. District Judge has ruled that the Miss United States of America competition can’t be forced to let transgender women participate in its pageants. He wrote that the organization’s state mission is to promote “natural-born” females and, as such cannot under the Constitution, be required to change its rules.
TOP GUN: [2:45] – LEGO has produced a shot-for-shot remake of this classic film. Top Gun: Maverick” is currently scheduled for a July 2, 2021, theatrical release. Maybe it seems stupid, cuz why not just watch the original, right? Well, two reasons for me. One, Tom Cruise’s messy personal life and over-the-top support for Scientology makes it hard for me to watch his movies. Two, it’s LEGO!
VACCINE: The newly-approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine for COVID-19 was developed with the extensive use of abortion-derived cell lines. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were only tested on these cells, making them less morally compromised.
Last December, the region of Peel, in Ontario, Canada, issued a directive commanding that minors who are exposed to COVID-19 must self-isolate for 14 days. The directive applied to children as young as three, who were expected to stay in a separate bedroom, eat in a separate room apart from others, and use a separate bathroom. There was a $5,000 fine for non-compliance.
Dr. Susan Richardson, a microbiologist and infectious disease physician, said the directive was not only “cruel punishment” that could “produce significant and long-lasting emotional and psychological effects”, but also not supported by the science.
“An asymptomatic child in a classroom with one child testing positive is at very low risk for acquiring infection. Most importantly, we are losing sight of the fact that if he/she should contract COVID while quarantining at home, they and their siblings are at an extremely low risk of suffering severe disease as a consequence.”
Dr. Martha Fulford, an infectious diseases physician at Hamilton Health Science who focuses on pediatrics called the directives “shocking.”
“I don’t understand how any health-care professional has moved so far away from the fundamentals of public health and of doing no harm that they would think that basically incarcerating a child in a room for 14 days is in any way justified,” she said.
Unsurprisingly, Peel area parents were outraged. The blow back forced the Region of Peel to tweeted this morning, however, that it had made a “mistake” in the flyer and was “sorry.” They supposedly didn’t mean the child had to totally self-isolate. It was just a mistake they made on the flyer. The website states that a “caregiver may need to isolate with the child if they require support with daily living, such as bathing, feeding, and clothing. If you’re caring for a child, it’s important to follow precautions to protect yourself and others in the home.”
These directives, which apparently are still in place, cuz it was only the FLYER that had a “mistake”, fail to take into account statistical research that shows that children, teens, and young adults “do not have a high-risk for significant negative medical outcomes, including fatality” from COVID-19 infection. Never mind the fascist jackbootiness of a $5,000 fine.
Parents were underwhelmed by the “apology” and “correction”: “You mean to tell me we are to believe that if we didn’t catch you doing this crap & retweeted it constantly you wouldn’t have noticed it? Please …you just got caught. Zero credibility & we are now done with your ‘recommendations.’” [Twitter]
I hope none of them get caught doing something as outrageous as taking their kids outdoors during their 14-day quarantine. (Never mind that most everyone catches it during prolonged exposure indoors, or that the sun and exercise are great immune boosters.) Some Canadian bureau-butt-head fine a family many thousands of dollars for showing up at the border two hours after their COVID-19 tests expired … because they’d had car trouble. When they beefed, they were told the government had decided to make an example of them.
FYI: Please note that the prayer does not include members of our newest corps – Space Force – who are known as Guardians. This name was chosen after the Space Force crowdsourced suggestions. Among these that didn’t make the cut were: Wookies. Homo Spaciens, The Anti-Gravity Gang, Rocketmen, Floaty Bois, Starmen, Rangers, Gladiators, Cadets, Trekkies, Luminaires, STARgeants and “Nothing, because you wouldn’t hear it in space anyway.”
CARBON EMISSIONS: The Paris Climate Accord is a joke. Trump pulled us out of it and we reduced our emissions more than any other developed country in the world. Meanwhile, 89% of the increase in greenhouse gases came from two countries who had signed the agreement – China, which alone accounted for 69% of the increase, and India.
ELITISM: Matt Meyer, president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, has fought to keep Berkeley schools for as long as possible because of the alleged COVID dangers of in-person learning. His two-year-old daughter attends an in-person preschool.
EUGENICS: [2:41] – In California, more than 1,000 female prisoners have been sterilized without their consent. Most of them are Black. The excuse given? It’s cheaper than welfare.
IMMIGRATION: FAUXTUS got a lot of flack over his new “not cages for kids”, so Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has instructed ICE to “purchase airplane tickets and cover other transportation costs for minors whose relatives are already living in the United States.” (And never you mind if those relatives are themselves illegal, you racist.)
LESS WHITE: After Coca-Cola got blasted for requiring employees to complete a racial sensitivity seminar that encouraged its participants to “be less white” and “less oppressive”, LinkedIn announced it will no longer host the seminar.
MAGA: Democrats still haven’t figured out that the best way to oppose Trump is to abandon their extremism. A big part of the Trump’s popularity is the insanity on the Left. – Catholic Vote
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: The note speaks for itself.
RELIGION: Churches that pander to this mentality have empty pews. What’s the point of getting up early on the weekend to sit on a hard pew, say nonsense words, and then drink bad coffee and stale donuts, when you can celebrate yourself by sleeping late, then enjoying the Sunday Times, excellent coffee, and fresh pastry from the comfort of your soft couch?
SCIENCE: Democrats constantly say they follow the science, while Republicans are a bunch of flat earthers. FAUXTUS’ transgender Assistant Secretary for Health is the perfect example of why that is a Big Fat Lie.
Richard “Rachel” Levine was graduated from Harvard College and the Tulane University School of Medicine.
1988 – 1993: Pediatrics fellowship, New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital.
1993 – 2015: On staff at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Created the facility’s adolescent medicine division and eating disorders clinic.
? – 2021: Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine.
2011: “Transitioned” to identifying female and changed name to Rachel.
2013: Divorced wife. They have two children.
2015 – 2017 : Pennsylvania Physician General.
2017 – 2021: Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
2020: While managing Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 response, Levine was heavily criticized for requiring nursing homes in Pennsylvania to readmit residents testing positive for COVID-19 after they were declared healthy enough to leave the hospital. She simultaneously removed her mother from a facility that came under her edict and put her into one that did not. She claimed her mother made the decision.
2020: Appointed president of ASTHO (Assoc. of State and Territorial Health Officials)
2021: Nominated to the position of Assistant Secretary for Health and confirmed by the Senate, despite sharp criticism from fellow physician, Sen. Rand Paul, for promoting puberty blockers and surgical genital mutilation for adolescents. Not only do these chemicals and surgeries cause permanent damage, but also research shows that the majority of adolescents with gender issues outgrow them.
So this specialist in adolescent medicine – who apparently has no trouble identifying an eating disorder as something that needs to be fixed, not pandered to – has fully embraced the scientifically absurd position that some people are born (reincarnated) into the “wrong gender body.” That is not science. It’s religion.
BETTE MIDLER: It’s sad how hateful and ignorant this woman is. All the people inside those white hoods were DEMOCRATS. Her nasty tweets have made it impossible for me to watch her movies.
BIG BROTHER: Two California Democrats – Rep. Anna Eshoo and Rep. Jerry McNerney – sent a letter to a dozen different cable companies asking, “Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN? If so, why?”
The letter was followed up with a House subcommittee hearing on how to weed out what Democrats call “disinformation and extremism” in the media, which Democrats consider “a tangible and destabilizing threat.”
CREATED EQUAL: Despite making a significant effort to celebrate black voices, Amazon Prime abruptly decided to stop streaming “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words”, a popular documentary about our only sitting black Supreme Court justice. Payback for his dissent on the election fraud cases?
DAN BONGINO: CPAC speech [14:59] – We’re not vanquished until we agree we are. So don’t agree. Dan makes one of the same points Kristi Noem does, which is that WORDS and ACTIONS both matter. Listening to Dan’s speech I’m thinking, yes, I’ll keep fighting.
But not because I think we can win or save America, because I believe we have already passed the point of no return, particularly with the national debt. However, I will definitely keep fighting, because there isn’t a doubt in my mind that the Left is serving Satan and that the consequence of following him is eternal damnation. So, I will keep saying and doing all I can to promote conservative values, because I hope I might help save a soul.
KRISTI NOEM: CPAC speech [25:52] – This is awesome and well worth your time. Watch it to the end. You may need a tissue.
METOO: This will come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with the way Biden has behaved toward women throughout his career.
PERSONALLY OPPOSED: [2:45] – Cardinal Arinze’s simple but powerful answer about the Leftist Catholic’s “personally opposed, but…” argument for abortion.
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama and Lil Buzz went on a field trip to Arlington National Cemetery with his Boy Scout troop. At the top of this entry arch is inscribed, “On fame’s eternal camping ground, their silent tents are spread. And glory guards with solemn round the bivouac of the dead.”
Over the past five centuries, an End Times event has been prophesied repeatedly by Catholic visionaries. The event is called The Warning or The Illumination of Conscience, a time when God will reveal Himself to everyone on Earth and reveal to each one how He sees them.
It will last a very short time, but its effects on the world will be huge.
For some, the truth will be devastating, even lethal (due to the shock). Some will harden in their sins and reject God forever, while others will see it as a sign of hope for the world and will turn from their sins and beg for God’s mercy.
For those who are prepared, the event will be joyful, for those who truly love the Lord can only be happy to see where they can improve to be more like His perfect vision for them.
Here are some of the prophesies:
“I pronounce a great day, not where, in any temporal potentate should minister, but where in, the Terrible Judge, should reveal all men’s consciences and try every man of each kind of religion. This is the day of change.” – St. Edmond Campion (1540–1581)
“A great purification will come upon the world, preceded by an Illumination of conscience in which everyone will see themselves as God sees them.” – Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769–1837)
“Once I was summoned to the judgment (seat) of God. I stood alone before the Lord. Jesus appeared such, as we know Him during His Passion. After a moment, His wounds disappeared, except for five, those in His hands, His feet, and His side. Suddenly I saw the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is displeasing to God. I did not know, that even the smallest transgressions, will have to be accounted for.” – St. Faustina Kowalska (1930s)
The Warning will be “like a punishment, for the just and the wicked alike. For the just, to bring them closer to God and for the wicked, to announce to them, that time is running out.” – The Blessed Mother to the seers at Garabandal, Spain (1960s)
“The maturity of conscience, most difficult to evaluate today, is the discernment between evil and good. Humanity has performed so many evil deeds that its conscience is now darkened by sin. We will need a terrible warning, and many will refuse to listen—a terrible warning. Most people will not heed it, but it will be essential to replace the moral order. Many have lived using their freedom for every kind of pleasure, and they are under the gaze of our God; but this judgment will be direct—at the same time, with His tenderness—and they will be forced to recognize their sin and to separate their sin from their goodness. This time, the sins of the world will be revealed.” – Saint Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
“It is a Warning. It has to be seen… this has to shake us up, so the world will start thinking… but to prove there is a God… the first Warning will be self-explanatory.” – The Blessed Mother to the seers at Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzgovina (1981)
“The day is coming when mankind will have a great chance to repent. God will show a great sign and mankind will have no explanation.” – The Blessed Mother to Pedro Regis in Anguera, Brazil (1987)
N.b., Some prophesies cited in documents about The Warning are from people whose visions/locutions either have not been approved or have actually been condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. These include (but are not be limited to) Nancy Conyers, Father Stefano Gobbi, Sadie Jaramillo. Jesus warned us about false prophets; I recommend caution when reading such material.
ARIZONA: On Friday, a judge ordered Maricopa County to provide some 2.1 million ballots from the Nov. 3 election to the Arizona state Senate and allow access to its election equipment to conduct an audit.
BORDER: There has been a record surge in unaccompanied minors crossing the border and more are expected.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris savaged President Donald Trump for keeping “kids in cages.” But now they’re doing the same thing — and undoing the Trump policies that had mitigated the underlying problem.
CANADA: The Magpie River in Côte-Nord, Quebec, has been granted legal personhood by the local municipality. In accordance with Innu customs and practices, the Alliance has granted the river nine rights: 1) the right to flow; 2) the right to respect for its cycles; 3) the right for its natural evolution to be protected and preserved; 4) the right to maintain its natural biodiversity; 5) the right to fulfil its essential functions within its ecosystem; 6) the right to maintain its integrity; 7) the right to be safe from pollution; 8) the right to regenerate and be restored; and perhaps most importantly, 9) the right to sue.
In other news, unborn human beings are still classified as property.
EDUCATION: CLICK https://twitter.com/VenturaReport/status/1364834752990048258 [2:19] to hear part of a California school board meeting. One member noted that 70 – 80% of the parents in the district want their schools to re-open and said they needed to set a date.
The board vice president sniped at her saying she was new and didn’t know what she was talking about. “We don’t have to give anybody any date! We don’t have to do anything that we don’t want to do right now. That’s what you don’t understand. I don’t know where you’re getting your information, or who’s telling you that we have to make a decision today, but that is not how this works.”
She also argued that “forcing” teachers back into classrooms before they receive COVID-19 vaccinations “seems like a very white supremacist ideology” and is akin to “slavery.” Thankfully, she and her opinions were in a minority of one and the board voted to reopen schools in April.
EQUALITY ACT: CLICK https://twitter.com/ErikRosalesNews/status/1365065489911848974 [1:33] to hear Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) quoting scripture in opposition to this heinous act and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) reply, “What any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.”
“Whenever a nation’s laws no longer reflect the standards of God that nation is in rebellion against him and will inevitably bear the consequences. We are seeing the consequences of rejecting God here in our country today.” – Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL)
CLICK https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1364975692291661824 [4:43] to hear Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green’s statement opposing the mis-named Equality Act. “It’s not about stopping discrimination, it’s creating it. It’s creating discrimination against every single woman and girl in this country.”
JIM ACOSTA: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/KaitsUnsafeSpace/videos/232765111886615/ [8:30] to watch Kait expose Acosta’s TDS at CPAC. He cannot come up with a single example of Trump saying anything to incite violent and refuses to condemn Antifa and BLM violence. “I won’t talk to you if you don’t have a mask on.” He also calls CPAC “the big lie conference.”
MINIMUM WAGE: Pelosi is determined to keep $15/hr minimum wage in the COVID-19 bill.
“Raising the federal minimum wage is a great way to kill jobs, bankrupt small businesses, and make it harder for low-skilled workers to find employment. This is what real legislated poverty looks like.
“The radical Left is pushing hard for a $15 minimum wage, but they won’t stop there. Squad member Rashida Tlaib is already calling for a $20 minimum wage, and billionaire Tom Steyer is pushing for $22/hour.” – Ben Shapiro
MUSLIM HOSTILITY: Find the time for this one. [31:36] – This video is not easy listening, but it’s more important than ever that we understand where devout Muslims are coming from.
MUSLIM MODERATES: This piece will mean a lot more if you first watch the “Muslim Hostility” video above – On Thursday, the Pontifical International Marian Academy (PAMI) in Rome launched a 10-week webinar series titled “Mary, a model for faith and life for Christianity and Islam” in collaboration with the Grand Mosque of Rome and the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy.
The series is pushing Mary as “a Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman” who responds “to the genetic codes of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.” Even on it’s face, that statement should strike everyone as absurd. Yes, Mary was a Jew and she is a Christian. Not only was Islam not even invented until hundreds of years after her time on Earth, but also it denies that Jesus died and rose from the dead.
The idea that she somehow became a Muslim in Heaven should be deeply offensive to every Christian who honors the Perpetual Virginity of the Blessed Mother, because Islam apparently presents Mary, the Mother of Christ, as being married to and copulating with Muhammad in Paradise.
N.b., the call-to-monotheism link below refutes this claim, saying that, while the line about Mohammed having once said, “Surely Allah will marry me to Mary,” is in a hadith, it is a “weak” hadith. That is, there is little historical evidence that it dates back to Mohammed.
That being said, during his televised Arabic-language program, Dr. Salem Abdul Galil — previously deputy minister of Egypt’s religious endowments for preaching — gleefully declared that, “our prophet Muhammad — prayers and peace be upon him — will be married to Mary the Virgin in paradise.”
NEW MEXICO: On Friday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed a radical pro-abortion bill into law, legalizing abortion up to birth legal and eliminating conscience protections for doctors and nurses.
Grisham issued a statement celebrating the new law, because it will supposedly promote “equality for all.”
“Anyone who seeks to violate bodily integrity, or to criminalize womanhood, is in the business of dehumanization. New Mexico is not in that business – not any more. Our state statutes now reflect this inviolable recognition of humanity and dignity.”
NIGERIA: On Friday, armed attackers abducted 317 girls from a boarding school in northern Nigeria. The attack is the latest of several mass kidnappings in the West African nation.
According to the AP, a number of large factions of armed men in Zamfara, a state in northwestern Nigeria. The government describes them as bandits and say they often use abductions to obtain money and get their jailed members released.
Law enforcement and military forces are working to rescue the girls.
OUIJA BOARDS: When I was quite young, a teen neighbor got one for Christmas and it inspired my mother to warn me off, citing the Bible and Church teaching. I am grateful; I think it saved me a world of hurt.
PORKULUS: The House has passed a new $1.9 trillion “spend America into bankruptcy” spending bill. This so-called “COVID relief bill” is a poorly disguised wolf in sheep’s clothing that plunges us even deeper in debt to advance the Progressive Globalist Elite’s agendas.
The final version passed by the House was scrubbed of protections for the unborn that had been in all previous relief bills, including the Hyde Amendment that protects pro-life Americans from having their tax dollars used to kill unborn babies.
SOTU: It’s appropriate that the true winner of the election should give it.
TRASHING TRUMP: FAUXTUS appears to have done little in his first month beyond signing dozens of Executive Orders aimed at reversing every single EO signed by President Trump. The latest piece of petty orders scrapped “Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture.” Heaven forbid we should build any federal buildings that don’t look like Karl Marx designed them.
COVID-19: The White House press corps is outraged at the plan to charge them $170 each for the required COVID-19 test that allows them to get into a daily briefing. The White House says that testing all the journalists over the past year has busted its budget. I get that. But why $170 per? The tests are sold individually for significantly less. Surely, the White House could get them in bulk for even less than the retail price, right? Also, if every one of those people has tested negative before being permitted into the briefing room, why are they always wearing masks that make it difficult for anyone to understand them when they ask a question?
And here’s another. A North Carolina high school civics teacher had his students report whether they consider themselves Democrats or Republicans. Then, he not only posted the answers, but read out the names of the students who answered “Republican.” It wasn’t long before those students were being bullied.
One mother said, “My daughter was worried. She said, ‘I just want to cry. Everybody is being so mean to me.’ That teacher put a target, he outed these children.” She said the teacher has apologized and that she hopes future lesson plans in civics will start with civility.
ELECTION INTEGRITY: The RNC has launched a new initiative to bolster election integrity. RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said, “We must do everything in our power to ensure that future elections are run free, fair, and transparent, and that includes holding election administrators accountable. Voters across the country are keenly interested in knowing that their states and localities are doing everything they can to clean up their voter rolls and faithfully administer their states’ election laws.”
During his Thursday show, Dan Bongino says election reform is one of the two most important issues for Republicans going forward. The other is the cancel culture.
ERIC SWALWELL: On Thursday, Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) have “forfeited their right to question security precautions at the Capitol” because they voted not to certify the 2020 presidential results.
Last December, it was revealed that Swalwell had had close relations with suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang (who also went by Christine Fang). She worked as a “bundler” for Swalwell’s 2014 House re-election campaign, raising money convincing high-money donors to write big checks. An intern she recommended was hired to Swalwell’s Congressional office.
Swalwell cut all his ties to Fang after he was alerted by the FBI that Fang was under investigation as a possible spy for the CCP. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Swalwell “probably ought to just resign from Congress.” The Democrat-majority House of Representatives has him sitting on the House Intelligence Committee.
GREAT MOMENTS IN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Volume 2 [2:34].
NEW JERSEY: Infringing on parents rights is a key element of the Left’s plan to destroy America. And in New Jersey, they made another gain.
On Monday, Democrat governor Phil Murphy signed a new law that prevents law enforcement officials from informing parents when their minor children are caught smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol.
Parents were blindsided by the legislation, having never been given the opportunity by lawmakers to offer any feedback before it passed.
NON-EQUALITY ACT: The House passed their misnamed “Equality Act” in a 224 to 206 vote. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. If they pass it, FAUXTUS has promised to sign it into law.
If enacted, which seems likely given the Democrats have a slim majority in the Senate, it will make those with distorted sexual orientations and gender identities protected classes under civil rights law. The bill would also eliminate religious liberty protections in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.
Opponents justifiably fear it will dismantle Title IX protections for girls’ sports, shut down religious foster and adoption agencies, eliminate conscience protections for health care workers, expand taxpayer funding for abortion, censor teachers and ministers on gender and sexuality issues, and force women’s shelters and female prisons to house vulnerable women with biologically intact males.
Three Republicans voted with House Democrats in favor of this abomination: Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, New York Rep. John Katko, and my own New York Rep. Tom Reed.
POLICE STATE: Feminist author Naomi Wolf once served as an adviser to former President Bill Clinton during his 1996 re-election campaign. In 2007, she published a book she wrote about totalitarianism and how tyrants consolidate power, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot.
On Monday, she told Tucker Carlson that “under the guise of a real medical pandemic, we’re really moving into a coup situation, a police state situation.” She believes it “should bring together left and right to protect our Constitution.”
In her book, she wrote that tyrants “always do the same 10 things” and that in the U.S., we are now at step 10. “That’s the suspension of the rule of law, that’s when you start to be a police state, and we’re here. There is no way around it.”
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: An ER nurse with a career spanning more than 35 years was on the way to her daughter’s wedding when she made an impromptu stop after witnessing a two-vehicle crash. Clad in a beautiful floor-length gown, she set to work, and after saving a life, she arrived at the wedding venue just in time to walk her daughter down the aisle.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: Rush Limbaugh was laid to rest Wednesday in a private ceremony at a St. Louis, Missouri cemetery. He died on February 17 at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer.
SAINT OF THE DAY: Gregory was an Armenian monk who lived humbly and taught at the monastic school. He is usually pictured holding a book, because he compiled 91 prayers into an encyclopedia of prayer for all nations. His Book of Prayer, written more than 1,000 years ago, is still in print.
He is venerated as a saint by both the Roman Catholic and Armenian Catholic Churches. On April 12, 2015, Pope Francis officially proclaimed Saint Gregory of Narek to be a Doctor of the Church.
“Doctor of the Church” is a title given to certain saints whose writing provides outstanding spiritual guidance to the faithful in all times and places.
SPYGATE: Recently declassified reports show the FBI’s efforts to spy on the Trump campaign were more far reaching than previously disclosed. Agents directed confidential human source Stefan Halper – codenamed “Mitch” – to make secret recordings, pressed for intelligence on numerous GOP figures, and sought to find “anyone in the Trump campaign” with ties to Russia who could acquire dirt “damaging to Hillary Clinton.”
SYRIA: In 2017, Jen Psaki criticized Trump’s decision to authorize air strikes on Syria. “What is the legal authority for strikes? Assad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country.” In 2019, Sleepy Joe said, “Trump’s erratic, impulsive actions are the last thing we need as Commander-in-Chief. No president should order a military strike without fully understanding the consequences. We don’t need another war in the Middle East, but Trump’s actions toward Iran only make that more likely.”
On Thursday night, FAUXTUS approved an airstrike on infrastructure in the still-sovereign country of Syria. Official say the strike was in response to a series of recent rocket attacks against U.S. targets in Iraq. FAUXTUS said it was a message to Iran: “You can’t act with impunity.”

He is:
The First and the Last. The Beginning and the End. He is the Keeper of Creation and the Creator of All. He is the Architect of the Universe and the Manager of All Time.
He Always Was. He Always Is. And He Always Will Be, Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and Never Undone.
He was bruised and brought healing. He was pierced and eased pain. He was persecuted and brought freedom. He was dead and brought life. He is risen and brings power. He reigns and brings peace.
The world can’t understand Him. The armies can’t defeat Him. Schools can’t explain Him. The leaders can’t ignore Him. Herod couldn’t kill Him. The Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him. The people couldn’t hold him. Nero couldn’t crush Him. Hitler couldn’t silence Him. The New Age can’t replace Him. And Oprah can’t explain Him away.
He is Life, Love, Longevity, and Lord. He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness and God. He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful, and Pure. His Ways are Right, His Words Eternal, His Rules Unchanging.
And His Mind is on me.
He is My Redeemer. He is My Savior. He is My God. He is My Priest. He is My Joy. He is My Comfort. He is My Lord.
The U.S. Constitution mandates in Article II, Section 3, that presidents “shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
It’s always been up to POTUS to decide when and how they fulfill this obligation. Until Wilson, most of them have submitted their reports in writing. But modern U.S. presidents have generally given their annual “State of the Union Address”, live before a joint session of Congress at some time in January or February.
And why not? It’s a great opportunity for the president to get a lot of attention, something they have exploited increasingly as technology has advanced. In 1923, Coolidge’s was broadcast over radio for the first time. In 1947, Truman’s was the broadcast on television for the first time. In 1965, LBJ moved his from mid-afternoon to prime time to maximize his television audience. And in 2002, Dubya had his broadcast live over the internet.
Only on a handful of occasions did modern presidents interrupt the tradition. In 1944, FDR’s scheduled delivery was canceled due to his poor health, but the speech was transmitted in writing. And in 1986, Reagan’s was postponed after the Challenger space shuttle exploded.
The only modern president I could find who did not deliver an annual address was Jimmy Carter during in his inaugural year of 1977. I looked for quite a long time, but was not able to find any reason that he skipped the opportunity to lay out his vision for his administration. In addition, while he technically fulfilled his constitutional obligation by submitted an “Annual Report to the Congress for 1977” in writing, it wasn’t published until March of 1978 … more than month after he delivered his 1978 State of the Union speech before Congress on January 19, 1978.
In January, FAUXTUS said he would be talking about his “Build Back Better Plan” during his first address to a joint session of Congress “next month.” Multiple sites quote AP reporting that it was likely to be held on February 23. One included the AP link below, which no longer shows the report. Best guess … they scrubbed it to avoid embarrassing President Dementia. However, one included this screen shot:
On February 16, press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about it and said, “I’ve not Nancy Drewed that one out today, but it was never planned to be in February and we don’t have a date for a joint session at this point.”
Thomas Lifson wrote the obvious at American Thinker, that is that “The lickspittle media are rushing in with ‘fact checks’ to assure the nation that there is no requirement or deadline for a SOTU speech.” But hey … we all know the real reason, right?
NOTE: In 2019, VOA News (link below) published an article that claimed, “Recent presidents — Reagan in 1981, George H.W. Bush in 1989, Clinton in 1993, George W. Bush in 2001, Barack Obama in 2009 and Trump in 2017 — have chosen not to deliver official State of the Union addresses during their first years in office. Those speeches would have come soon after their inaugural addresses. However, many, including Trump, have delivered major speeches in front of Congress that have had the feel of the State of the Union without the title.”
I googled “SOTU YouTube” for each of those years and found videos of said “major speeches in front of Congress that have had the feel of the State of the Union without the title.” They are all labeled “State of the Union.”
