Today is my birthday!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please give us the graces we need to make the “don’t care” part really true. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIG STICK: [19:42] – CLICK https://x.com/ABC/status/1919792210318340216 [1: 20] to hear Trump announce that the Houthis “don’t want to fight any more.” “We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships any more.”

According to Julien Miquel (YouTube), the correct English pronunciation for “Houthis” is HOO – theez (hard “th” as in bath).

BORDER: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JJQg92hXeqE to hear a wonderful message from an immigrant from Brazil.

CATHOLIC: The conclave opens today. Please continue to pray with us that God’s perfect will be made manifest in their choice of our next pope.

DOGE: A National Science Foundation grant for more than $800,000 has been canceled. The money was being used to train college science and math education majors how to promote “social justice” and “cultural responsiveness” in their classrooms.

Another $8.4 million has been saved by canceling three DEI training programs.

A further $198 million was saved by terminating 148 wasteful contracts, including one at HHS for “potency monitoring of confiscated marijuana samples.”

HORSE HISTORY: Every horse that ran in the Kentucky Derby is a direct descendant of Secretariat, who won the 1973 Belmont Stakes by an incredible 31 lengths.

HYPOCRITES: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1363860088066886 [:54] to hear Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden support work requirements for welfare recipients.

INDIA vs. PAKISTAN: In April, 26 male tourists were killed in a terrorist attack in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. Early today, India responded with airstrikes against terrorists in Pakistan-controlled territory.

MEDIA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U5wMAYX0PEs to hear yet another montage of sound-alike legacy news reports.

REAL ID: Starting today, you must have a REAL ID or a compliant document before boarding a domestic flight. Usually, a REAL ID takes the form of a driver’s license or a non-driver photo ID card issued by a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent. States may issue such documents even if they are not REAL IDs. If your document is also a REAL ID, this is indicated by the presence of a black or gold star in the top corner of the plastic card.

At present, every state, the District of Columbia, and federal territory issues driver’s licenses and non-driver ID cards that are REAL IDs. Some also issue non-REAL ID cards to citizens and residents. These non-REAL ID cards are often cheaper to obtain and do not require as many supporting documents, making them attractive to individuals who merely want a license or ID for everyday purposes. They are also regularly issued to illegal immigrants by some states.

Usually, these non-REAL ID documents will have a notation that reads “Not Valid for Federal Purposes” or an equivalent and will not bear the required black or gold star.

REPARATIONS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1gg_G9Gd0Pw to hear a black supremacist tell us why he “deserves” a million dollars. The way I understand it, President Lincoln gave his ancestor who was actually a slave 40 acres and a mule. Why does anyone owe this joker, who was never a slave, anything?!

SCOTUS: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an “unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy.”

The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down. Litigation continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1919930354359472325 [:59] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919993052619321836 [2:32] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919584968570720291 [:40] to see clips from protests outside a Riley Gaines speaking engagement at University of Washington.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Keep us mindful in a special way today that You are always in charge. And thank you that, while we may not always appear to win, we definitely will win in the end! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BORDER: Difference being … our right to own and bear weapons and the federal government’s obligation to protect our border are both in the Constitution. So they’re the ones fomenting insurrection.

CLIMATE HOAX: Climate activists said global warming would melt the ice caps and flood us all out of our homes. Twelve years ago, they told us the Arctic Ocean would be ice-free within the four years. A new study shows that, between 2021 and 2023, the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) gained mass at a rate of 108 gigatons per year. Oops.

COVID: “The real name for ‘gain of function’ is ‘death maximization.'” ~ Elon Musk

“In 2014, after 3 of Fauci’s bugs escaped, 300 scientists asked Obama to shut him down. Obama declared a moratorium—but Fauci moved the experiments offshore, mainly to the Wuhan lab. Now our own government—CIA, FBI, State, DOE—all say those experiments likely sparked the COVID pandemic. And it all started as bioweapons research in 1947. President Trump just moved to shut it down—for good.” ~HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

CLICK https://x.com/thackerpd/status/1919498221698605487 [1:01] to watch Trump sign his Executive Order to end federal funding for gain-of-function virus research which many now believe caused the COVID pandemic.

She says something about Harvard not getting grants until they comply. I don’t understand why any private college is getting federal money period. When my kids were in parochial school, we were grudgingly allowed bus rides and $35/kid toward textbooks.

GROUPTHINK: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/itoUnYYXXEU to hear a simple explanation for why some Democrats behave like they are members of a cult.

MEDIA: Notice how they’re not talking about eggs any more? If they actually cared about Americans, they’d be celebrating that low-income people can afford them again. But they don’t. They only care about scoring political points for Democrats.

PSA: [2:34] – Very useful trick.

TARIFFS: “American manufacturers are seeing a surge in demand as President Donald Trump’s tariffs force companies to reconsider doing business in China.” “Workers throughout China are flooding the streets in revolt as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs slam the fragile Chinese export economy.” Read more at the links.

TDS: The rant above is exactly why he does this stuff. While he’s busy fixing America, loony lefties are wasting time TDSing about pranks. And, We the People are not clapping along; we’re laughing along. Except about the pope pics. I found them distasteful. But since I’m not a lunatic, I just scrolled and got on with my day.

ALCATRAZ: The former federal prison was known as impossible to escape because of the strong currents and cold waters surround its island. It once housed such infamous criminals as the gangster Al Capone.

BORDER: In April 2024, Homeland Security released a report saying 11 million illegal aliens were estimated to be living in the U.S. as of January 2022. We’ve spent untold billion$ giving them free food, shelter, education, transportation, and health care. Paying them a pittance to go home is far cheaper than continuing the handouts while paying ICE to track them down individually (est @ $17,000/per).

HARVARD PROFS: The Trump administration froze $2.2 billion dollars in federal grants for Harvard which has refused to eliminate DEI and stop supporting antisemitism. More than 80 Harvard faculty members have so far pledged to donate more than $2 million to counter what Government professor Steven Levitsky would be “a death blow to academic freedom.” A 2023 survey found that more than 77% of Harvard’s profs identify as liberal.

HEALTH: Mattress safety is more crucial for babies and young children than for teens or adults, because they spend far more time sleeping.

During those hours, they are more likely to inhale, absorb and/or ingest mattress materials because their breathing rates and skin surfaces relative to body weights are much higher, their skin is more permeable, and they are more likely to put their hands in their mouths. If those materials are harmful, they are far more likely to be damaged, because their blood-brain barriers and detoxification systems are not fully developed.

Recent studies of mattresses found hormone disruptors that interfere with growth, mood, reproduction, and other vital bodily functions. These toxins have been linked to impaired memory, learning disorders, behavioral issues, and lower IQ scores. Some are also linked to childhood cancer and asthma.

LAPTOP FARMS: The National Security Division and the FBI’s Cyber and Counterintelligence Divisions, have an entire division allocated to rooting out and dismantling laptop farms. – Over the last three years, Minh Phuong Ngoc Vong, a U.S. citizen, pulled down $970,000, supposedly by working at a nail salon in Bowie, Maryland. What he was really doing (besides maybe trimming cuticles) was obtaining and then subcontracting government jobs to IT guys in China. Vong himself has no degree and no experience in IT. Literally, the only thing he did was plug a company-provided laptop in at home and install remote access programs on it, so that it looked like it was being operated in the U.S. Basically, he gave the ChiComms access to U.S. government secrets. He pled guilty to several counts of international wire fraud and faces up to 20 years in prison.

MEDICAL TORTURE: Under Tony Fauci, the NIH approved forcing We the Taxpayers to fund allegedly necessary drug tests on animals. They prefer beagles, because they are such sweet-natured animals; apparently, said puppies were mass-bred at puppy mills for the purpose of being tortured and euthanized. They also had their vocal cords cut so experimenters wouldn’t have to listen to them cry out in pain.

One experiment involved pumping pneumonia-causing bacteria into more than 2,000 beagles’ lungs, bleeding them out and forcing them into septic shock. Another had them locking puppies’ heads into cages filled with hungry sand flies.

Under NIH’s new director, Jay Bhattacharya, torturing puppies is a thing of the past. Bhattacharya said PETA actually sent him flowers! BTW, during Trump’s first term in 2019, his administration closed the government’s largest cat lab.

TRUMP: I am relieved to hear he has nixed the idea of a third term. “I’m looking to have four great years, and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican … to carry it forward,” he said. He named Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the best contenders to replace him in 2028.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We are here again, asking You to work Your perfect will at the conclave. Please let us have a pope who will be 100% faithful to the entire deposit of faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

COVID-19: CLICK https://x.com/DiedSuddenly_/status/1918487863793975590 [2:59] to hear DNI Gabbard say she is investigating Dr. Fauci.

KENTUCKY DERBY: [2:30] – You gotta watch this! It’s toooo funny!!!!

LEARNING NEW THINGS: I stumbled across an interesting article about the Feynman Technique. It has just four steps. Check it out at the link below.

MAINE: This fake girl blew away the competition in Yarmouth, Maine, winning both the girls’ 800-meter and 1600-meter events. When the turd ran with the boys, he ranked 172nd.

The DOJ has filed a lawsuit against the state of Maine for its continued defiance of Trump’s executive order to keep biological males out of girls and women’s sports and alleged violations of Title IX. AG Bondi is also seeking to have titles returned to the real girls who rightfully won competitions in which trans athletes participated.

MEDIA: The left-stream’s (aka, legacy’s) media coverage of MS-13 and illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been 96% positive. Their coverage of Elon Musk has been 96% negative.

NEW YORK SUCKS: Felix Rojas (44) is in police custody. Per the NYPD, Rojas found Jorge Gonzalez (37) either dying or already dead on the New York’s R train. Rather than administer first aid or call for help, Rojas allegedly robbed him, then returned to spend thirty minutes raping his corpse. Rojas, who is here illegally, has been repeatedly returned to Mexico. Biden let him stay. So now, taxpayers will waste hundreds of thousands of dollars providing him with legal defense.

POLITICS AND MENTAL HEALTH: Bob sent me this link – https://www.culturcidal.com/p/5-reasons-liberals-are-more-mentally – to an article about why liberals suffer from mental health problems more frequently than conservatives. Basically, it boils down to two things. One, mentally unhealthy people are drawn to liberalism. And, two, liberalism makes people mentally unhealthy.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to trust that, even where You allow us to make sinful choices, You are simultaneously working all things “for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: Trump has created a second military zone along our southern border, a 63-mile stretch that runs east from the Texas-New Mexico state line in El Paso they’re calling the “Texas National Defense Area.”

ECONOMICS: It’s an odd take, them bitching that he is enriching his friends when one of his closest buddies, Elon Musk, is not only working at DOGE for free, but also losing $$ big time as the Left’s attacks on Tesla damage sales and stock prices.

EDUCATION: In other news, Trump has signed an executive order ending federal funding of the allegedly educational, but mostly left-biased NPR and PBS.

HARRIS: On Thursday, nominations were announced for the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Among them was an “Outstanding Editing” nod to the interview “60 Minutes” did with Kamala Harris during the campaign.

In case you’ve forgotten, this was the interview during which CBS chose to edit out a terrible “word salad” answer Harris had given and substitute a more coherent one she had given to a different question. This would also be the interview that has Trump suing CBS News and the one that inspired the show’s executive producer to quit.

Speaking of Kamala speaking … I don’t want to listen to her, but if you do, there are clips of her recent speech @ https://notthebee.com/article/kamala-harris-is-still-most-definitely-kamala-harris.

MEDIA: The Left have always hated the military and Fox News, so Pete has a natural advantage over two guys they used to lurve.

SLIPPERY SLOPE: Satan hates marriage and family, so the assault continues. A recent court ruling in Quebec has granted multi-parental families in the province the same legal rights as any other unit.

SMH: The Atlantic just published this article about how Hitler liked tariffs too.

WHITE HOUSE WIRE: The media refuses to cover them honestly, so they’re doing it themselves.

GRAMMY NOTES: Plus there’s the whole problem with “the world” being temporal, so any comfort you might get by selling your soul will end up earning you an eternity of torment.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant extra graces to those of us struggling to get through another day. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CATHOLIC: [:47] – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1587323185188147 to hear a conservative Catholic podcaster discuss the man that is possibly the most conservative of the papabile. Being on any “most likely” list is never a guarantee. Pius XII, Paul VI, Benedict XVI, and Francis were all papabili cardinals who were elected pope. John XXIII, John Paul I, and John Paul II were not.

DOGE: [14:35] – This is very much worth your time. The stuff about the Institutes of Peace is shocking.

EV: Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX), members of the DOGE Caucus, have introduced legislation to claw back $3 billion earmarked in Biden’s faux Green New Deal (misnamed the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act). In typical climate hoax fashion, the earmark has been a whopping failure, producing only 93 of the designated 55,000 electric postal trucks. Ernst and Cloud have dubbed their legislation the “Return to Sender Act.”

FBI: Under the leadership of Kash Patel, agents who were photographed kneeling during a 2020 George Floyd protest have been reassigned. Lefties are angry about this. Righties are still pissed that they weren’t fired 5 years ago.

HEALTH: In an effort to learn what risks vaccines actually pose, HHS is now requiring all new vaccines be tested against placebos before being licensed. Many vaccines licensed in the United States were tested against other vaccines, rather than against a placebo.

ILHAN OMAR: CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1918037057118630166 [:34] to hear what she thinks of Trump supporters. CLICK https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1917989746954932446 [:20] to hear what she thinks of the Daily Caller.

CLICK https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1917993950285349267 [1:02] and enjoy hearing the incomparable Stephen Miller give jerknalists a well deserved spanking. Miller is Trump’s United States homeland security advisor and White House deputy chief of staff for policy.

NEW YORK SUCKS: Approximately $14 billion worth of income has fled the Big Blue Apple as more than 125,000 New Yorkers moved to Florida in recent years. With the percentage of New Yorkers ranking life in the Big Apple “good or excellent” at just 30%, reasons for fleeing include affordability, quality-of-life, and safety.

POLLING: Only 37% of the respondents in the New York Times 100-day Trump approval poll were Trump 2024 voters. The ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll was even worse, with 2,464 adults, of which only 1,992 registered voters of which a scant 842 were Trump voters. Trump received 50% of the vote. That’s why these are fake polls.

Now CLICK https://x.com/CarmineSabia/status/1917583236256895088 [:47] to hear Sen. Schumer tell us what he thinks of polls. Bwahahaha!!

TAMPON TIM: Minnesota may be sighing in relief that their governor, who took months off to campaign for the Dem VP spot, is now touring the country on a self-described “listening tour.” So far, he has revealed that his VP spot was a DEI hire designed to give white men from rural America “permission” to vote for Harris. According to him, “I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck” and “put them at ease.”

TRADE: Trump has signed an executive order ending the de minimis exemption that allows China and Hong Kong to ship goods valued at $800 or less into the U .S. without being subject to duties and taxes. U.S. Customs says it has processed about 4 million such shipments every day. Trump says they’re using it to ship fentanyl so it has to stop. Starting today, the United States will be collecting a duty of either 30 percent of the value of packages at $800 or less shipped through the international postal network or $25 per item. On June 1, that rate will increase to $50 per package.

TRANS: Bobby Jr. is making inroads into the Big Pharma slash trans activists’ hold on our youth. HHS now says that minors who believe their gender is different from their biological sex should receive therapy, not invasive endocrine and surgical interventions.

UKRAINE: Trump has gotten his minerals deal. As I understand it, the governments still need to ratify it.

WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT: CLICK https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1917630441546240121 [:56] to hear Marco Rubio reveal at a cabinet meeting that the Biden State Department had an office to create dossiers on Americans who were deemed to be “purveyors of disinformation.” He says there is “one person at this table” who had a dossier. I’m surprised it was only one.

GRAMMY NOTES: “Constructive lawlessness” … a perfect description of my crafting style. LOL

BORDER: NOT tired of winning yet!

CALIFORNICATION: It’s true. California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee have blocked a proposal to make it a felony to buy 16- and 17-year-old minors for sex.

CHI-TOWN: When our village had Republican leadership, we saved up $10 million to use toward infrastructure improvements. Democrats took over and blew through it financing b.s. like a “sustainability officer.” What a joke … paying someone with that title using unsustainable funds!

DOGE: In the last two days, agencies terminated 179 wasteful contracts, saving We The Taxpayers $280 million. Among the contracts canceled was one for $1.8 million for “energy and climate advisory services”, one for $207,000 for a “grant writing workshop”, and one for $89,000 for a “country program manager in Namibia.”

ISLAM: I saw a woman at JoAnn’s dressed like this at once. It was mid-summer; husband and toddler were in light clothing and sandals. Wife was trying to decide if fabric weight would suit by feeling it … while wearing black knit gloves. There weren’t even any other men in the store.

LIFE: After taking the abortion pills, a Reddit user posted the photo above of her dead baby. “I literally gave birth, and nobody told me it would be like that. The contractions were so intense it was unbearable. About 15 mins before it was out I started telling my partner to call someone because I couldn’t handle it anymore.”

A new study shows that 1 in 10 women who take the abortion pill experience serious, often traumatic, and potentially life-threatening adverse events within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion. These findings mean chemical abortion is twenty-two times more dangerous than the FDA admits.

MEDIA: We have a president who is not afraid of the media! Let’s roll the clips from ABC News’ interview with President Trump that are pure entertainment.

M for marijuana. S for smile. The cross and skull aren’t obviously 13, unless you understand that the number 13 is sacred in the MS-13 culture.

S&G: I can’t write about this.

TRANS: I have these scars on my thighs from skin grafts. I hate them, but at least I NEEDED the grafts. This woman needed therapy, not surgery.

UNIVERSE 25: In the late 1950s, American ethologist John B. Calhoun designed an “ideal” rodent habitat—later dubbed Universe 25—stocked with unlimited food, water and shelter. He introduced just eight founders, and within 315 days the population surged toward 600. But as density increased, normal social roles broke down. Some males became completely withdrawn, refusing to breed or compete, while certain females grew aggressive and detached from their young. Juvenile survival plunged, and two years in, no new litters survived. He repeated the experiment over many years with the same result. The communities always went extinct because the mice lost the social skills and will required to mate. Calhoun’s concern was that overcrowded human societies would move from some modality of overpopulation towards a much more irredeemable underpopulation.

WISCONSIN: Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended Hannah Dugan, the Milwaukee judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities. “It is ordered … that Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah C. Dugan is temporarily prohibited from exercising the powers of a circuit court judge in the state of Wisconsin, effective the date of this order and until further order of the court.”

Trump’s Second First 100 Days

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Change us Your way. And help us be happy about it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

APPROVAL: Comparing Trump’s approval polls to any and every president before him is pointless. According to a new study by Media Research Center (MRC), the evening newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS from January 20 through April 9 featured 899 stories that discussed President Trump or the Trump administration. Of these, 92.2% were negative compared to only 7.8% that were positive. This is even worse than it was for his first first 100 days.

CATHOLIC: The Spirit is a’moving!

CONCLAVE: [5:14] – Frank Pavone urges us to pray the cardinals choose the Holy Spirit over politics.

COLORADO: [6:03] – Feds made more than 100 arrests after raiding a notorious nightclub in Colorado Springs.

FLORIDA: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, working in conjunction with local law enforcement in Florida, have arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants across the state in the past four days.

GREEN BLACKOUTS: Both Spain and Portugal generate a majority of their electricity with renewables. On April 28, huge power outages hit both nations, leaving millions of homes and businesses without power.

HYPOCRITE: Michelle Obama says President Trump’s deportations “keep her up at night.” S’funny how she seemed to sleep just fine while her husband was in office.

MEDIA: I put “Trump blue suit” into my Duck Duck Go search engine. It was headline news at The New York Slime.

USA Today wrote, “The Trumps were seated in the front row for the service and the president’s midnight blue suit stood in contrast to the waves of black. Former President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden were seated a few rows behind their successors.” Never mind that Joe Biden was also wearing a blue suit.

Interestingly, The Express wrote, “Trump, who identifies as a non-denominational Christian, and Prince William, affiliated with the Church of England, opted out of wearing the customary black, possibly highlighting their non-Catholic beliefs.” The Express also did not mention that Joe Biden, who famously reminded us constantly of what a devout Catholic he has been his whole life, also wore a blue suit.

NORTH CAROLINA: I put “$1.4 billion north carolina” into my Duck Duck Go search engine. Here are the top hits. None of them are from the slimestream media. The color of Trump’s suit … Big News! Much belated aid for American disaster victims … YAWN! –

PELOSI ACT: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) just reintroduced a bill that would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. The legislation’s acronym PELOSI stands for “Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments.”

TARIFFS: According to the April 24 Daily Treasury Statement, revenues from “customs and certain excise taxes” reached an all-time high of $15.9 billion in April, up 105 percent from a year ago.

BEHIND THE SCENES: I love minis!

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1915826498533310904 [8:00] to hear AG Bondi describe what Judge Dugan did that got her arrested.

EDUCATION: How is it that private schools are denied public funds, but private universities with ginormous endowments get million$?

JUDGES: [7:04] – Judges should be held to a HIGHER standard than others!

MEDIA: In other news, nine people died after a “30-year-old man” plowed into the crowd at the Vancouver (Canada) Filipino Lapulapu festival. Despite the fact that the driver is in police custody, none of the news reports have given his name, race, or gender identity. Hmm …

GRAMMY NOTES: When my girls were the right age, I went through a period of buying books and movies made from books to explore with the differences. Everybody says the books are always better, but I found two that were so bad, I didn’t give them to the kids to read. Pinocchio was one. Forrest Gump was the other.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant Pope Francis eternal rest. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

100 DAYS: Translation from Left-ese into Reality-ese — Judges who broke the law are facing consequences; illegals are being deported for being here illegally … just like they were under Clinton and Biden; history that was rewritten by Progressive is being restored; libraries are being curated to provide materials appropriate to community standards; universities that support anti-Semitism and terrorism are losing taxpayer-funded grants they had no right to in the first place; bloated government agencies and budgets are being cut back so we don’t go bankrupt; Biden created a government office to monitor conservative social media posts; countries often give child bonuses when the birth rate drops too low; there are no new threats of wars; Obama, who got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being George Bush, started multiple new wars; everybody rips us off, demands we provide aid and military support, and badmouths us for being who we are, so who cares if we demand a little equity and courtesy in return?

BORDER: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said thousands of illegal immigrants have registered on the CBP Home app to self-deport, and that those who have not yet done so will face consequences.

CATHOLIC: [9:10] – Father David Michael Moses reviews The Conclave. He includes the comments of a Catholic cardinal who participated in the last conclave and saw the movie. I think I’ll give this movie a miss.

EDUCATION: It’s interesting how they went from demanding evolution and creationism be taught as theories to demanding creationism be eliminated entirely. They’re so indoctrinated they won’t even listen to how different Intelligent Design is from biblical creationism.

HYPOCRITE: Schumer is shooting off his mouth about the arrests of two judges for aiding criminal illegal aliens saying “President Trump and the DOJ can’t just arrest judges at will.” IMO, judges should be held to a higher standard than anybody! Plus, I don’t remember Schumer being bothered about a former U.S. president being arrested, booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and held against his will inside a cold court room during campaign season.

MILITARY: The Army has surpassed its 2025 recruiting goal six months early.

MORE HYPOCRISY: The people supporting trans activism are the same people who loudly object to white people wearing braids.

SANTOS: They said he was a liar. Now he’s going to prison. – George Santos is one of only six congressmen and the first Republican to ever be expelled from the House of Representatives. The first three, all Democrats, were expelled back in 1861 for fighting for the Confederacy.

The fourth, Michael J. Myers (also Democrat), was expelled in 1980 and later imprisoned for conspiracy to commit bribery, defraud the U.S., receipt of illegal gratuities, obstruction of justice, filing false tax returns, and racketeering

The fifth, yet another Democrat, was James A. Traficant who was expelled in 2002 after being convicted of 10 felony counts, including taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his congressional staff to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and houseboat in Washington, D.C. He served a 7-year prison sentence.

Republican George Santos was expelled in 2023 and federally indicted on 23 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds, lying on Federal financial disclosure forms to the House of Representatives, aggravated identity theft, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. As part of a plea deal, Santos has agreed to pay roughly $580,000 in penalties in addition to serving a seven-year prison sentence.

STUDENT LOANS: Leftists want people who’ve defaulted on student loan debt to pull their money out of major banks and put it into credit unions. Supposedly, this will “cripple” banks and inspire them to pressure the Trump administration. How much $$$ do people who can’t afford to make payments on their student loans even have?? Unless, of course, they aren’t paying their loans because Biden kept telling them they didn’t need to …

UK: The nation’s Supreme Court just ruled that sex is biological. But never mind that. The London Marathon is allowing males to run in female categories.

WISCONSIN: Judge Hannah Dugan has been arrested for taking extraordinary and allegedly illegal steps to thwart police from taking a past deportee into custody. The illegal in question, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, was charged with domestic violence in mid-March; the case was assigned to Dugan. He was deported in 2013; there is no evidence he returned legally.

Democrats claim to be the party that defends women’s rights. So why are they now picking men-who-say-they’re-women over real women and illegal aliens over the women they beat up, rape, and murder?

GRAMMY NOTES: Haiku posted at Facebook Haiku Society by James Grundy – My favorite thing about haiku is where the first two lines create an image and/or mood and the third line takes it in an unexpected direction. This is a lovely example.
