CALIFORNICATION: Trump is planning to sell off around 50 federal buildings in Northern California, including one named after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The non-statutory components and functions of the following governmental entities shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, and such entities shall reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law,” his executive order states.

CHIRAQ: In 2019, Democrat Lori Lightfoot became the first black woman and first openly gay person to be elected Chicago mayor. Her performance was so atrocious that, in 2023, she became the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to be booted out after one term.

Her replacement, Brandon Johnson, is doing such a bang-up job that his approval and disapproval numbers just hit the worst I’ve ever seen. To put 6.6% into perspective … on his last few days in office, Richard Nixon’s Gallup approval number was 24%.

DEMOCRATS: James Woods commented, “This takes the cake. If this doesn’t make it clear to the Democrat critics of DOGE, then convincing them is fruitless and a waste of time. Let’s ignore these grifters and get the job done.”

DOGE: Musk tweeted, “Those who ignored President Trump’s executive order to return to work have now received over a month’s warning. Starting this week, those who still fail to return to office will be placed on administrative leave.” He also said that those who failed to respond to the email requiring they respond with a list of five things they accomplished last week will get one more chance to do so before being fired.

JTFA: On her first day in office, AG Bondi empowered Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA) to increase its work in fighting cartels. This week, the JTFA and Mexican authorities took down a cartel-linked human smuggling operation that was based in Juarez.

MAINE: During the state championship meet, Katie Spencer, who competed as a male named John Rydzewski in pole-vaulting as recently as June 2024, out-jumped every other female by half a foot. One of the actual females said she is “grateful” for the president’s announcement that he will be cutting federal funding to Maine over its defiance of Trump’s order to keep men out of women’s sports. “State leaders have failed our female athletes and there needs to be repercussions for their neglect,” she said. “We feel seen and heard because of this announcement and hope that steps will continue to be made to protect women’s sports in Maine.”

MEDIA: The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) have filled their broadcasts with sob stories of federal workers losing jobs and fearmongering over how that may hurt everything from food and airline safety to how fast the IRS can issue refunds. What they have not talked about is how many billions of dollars DOGE has saved by canceling boondoggle government contracts.

OSU: [:55 ] – There is a revival going on at Ohio State University. The latest gathering at the Schott Sports Arena number more tha n 6,500. Approximately 2,000 were baptized!

PREZ APPROVAL: Trump’s approval rating is at 52%. His top most-supported policies are deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (81%), eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditures (76%), closing the border (76%), and basing government hiring decisions on merit rather than diversity (70%).

The Democratic Party received its lowest approval rating since March 2018. Fifty-eight percent of voters are more satisfied with Trump’s job as president than with Biden’s.

UK: By killing USAID, DOGE has helped free the Brits from trans tyranny. A group called Stonewall UK has been at the tip of the trans activism spear in the UK. HALF of its funding came from USAID.

“Republicans against Trump” tweeted – “BREAKING: Donald Trump just named far-right MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, a notorious conspiracy theorist who promoted the lie that the 2020 election was ‘stolen,’ to serve as Deputy Director of the FBI. God help us all.”

“GranTorino” responded – “Define far right… And list all the conspiracies that Bongino has reported on that haven’t come true. I’ll wait.”

DOGE: The reason behind the email every federal worker got requiring them to submit a report on what they did during the week. Failure to reply will be considered a resignation. In other news, Musk reportedly has proposed that DOGE have an enforcement arm to be designated “FAFO” (Federal Agency for Financial Oversight). I suspect this may be a prank designed to get liberal heads exploding … kinda like that tweet where Trump called himself “The King.” But who knows for sure? I thought buying Greenland was a prank, yet it seems Trump is 100% serious about that one.

ELON: So glad he won’t get pink slipped for failing to respond to his own email.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to always bring our frustrations, angers, and resentments to You, the ultimate bringer of justice. Grant us the graces we need to forgive our debtors as You forgive us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

DOGE: Elon’s team has found approximately $4.7 Trillion in untraceable federal taxpayer funds. The reason they are untraceable is that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) fields (an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item on those payments were left blank. As of Saturday, the TAS must be completed before a payment can go out. Can you imagine how your stock holders and/or IRS auditors would react if a massive amount of your out-flow was left blank or marked “miscellaneous”?

Jordan Belfort, entrepreneur and the original “Wolf of Wall Street,” warned that losing track of money does not happen “by accident.” He believes we will find out that there should not have been “any deficit at all,” and that the wastefulness goes “much deeper,” highlighting how they have yet to look at the Pentagon and have just started looking into the IRS. “You follow the money. You see where it goes,” Belfort said.

OUIJA BOARD: [16:54] – This “historian’s” mocking of all religious and spiritual beliefs is very offensive. Personally, I think occult “tools” are like marijuana. For some, they’re party toys. For others, they are gateways to hell. I’m glad to have been raised Catholic and learned early not to mess with them.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless us today with an understanding of the responsibilities you have assigned to each of us and the graces we each need to rise to these challenges. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AFRICA: Seventy Christians have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The perps are believed to have been militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a group with ties to so-called Islamic State (IS). News Flash: The libtard media doesn’t care.

BOOTY JUDGE: Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg once claimed that roads are racist. Now he’s got aspirations for higher office and has read the Trump writing on the wall. As one of the few Democrats who are not doubling down on crazy, he recently said, “What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people’s different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced. It is how it is how Trump Republicans are made. If that comes to your workplace with the best of intentions but doesn’t actually get at what actually matters here.”

CATHOLIC: Sister Lucia dos Santos, the Fatima visionary who died in 2005, wrote the following in a 1980s letter to then-Monsignor/now-Cardinal Carlo Caffarra – “The decisive battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family. … However, Our Lady has already crushed his head.”

DEI: PepsiCo will no longer have a DEI Officer, a DEI team, DEI representation goals, or DEI trainings.

DEMOCRATS: The Left’s rejection of God is firmly entrenched in the Democratic Party of the United States. A recent Quinnipiac poll asked respondents, “Do you support or oppose President Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, in the United States?” More than three-fourths of Democrats (77%) said no. Only 14% said yes.

EDUCATION: In the early 20th century, Communist operators set out to destroy America from within. One of their efforts was to infiltrate colleges that were training teachers. They knew it would be a long-term effort, but that eventually, their insidious anti-God and anti-democratic ideas would gain a solid foothold in American schools. Behold the fruits of their labors.

FORT KNOX: CLICK https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1892422930274881918 [:29] to hear Trump tell reporters he plans to go inside the fabled U.S. Bullion Depository to see if the gold that allegedly underpins our national currency is actually there. The depository is adjacent to the Army’s Fort Knox, but is protected by the U.S. Mint Police. It is supposed to have a little over half the total gold presently held by the federal government.

ICE: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and agents arrested the owners of a donut shop called Abby’s Bakery in Los Fresnos, Texas. Although the owners have permanent resident status, their eight employees were illegal and they knew it.

NEW YORK: My home state is shifting right. Republicans just gained over 72,000 voters over the last month (Republican: +23,311 and Democratic: -49,583). Dearest has his work cut out for him. He has been active with our local and county Republican groups for many years. See that dark blue blot in the center of the state? That’s us.

PENTAGON: I can’t figure out if this is a legit story or not. It’s appearing frequently in my X feed, but never from a verified account that would have a reason to know it. And I haven’t found any actual news outlet reporting it. As far as I can tell, it all stems from a tweet allegedly sent from Barbara Starr’s X account. Althought the account is verified, it is also protected – “Only approved followers can see @bstarrreports’s posts.” Wikpedia says she does work for CNN, but stopped covering the Pentagon for CNN in 2022.

SPACE X: The Falcon 9’s first stage booster landed successfully on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship off the coast of the Bahamas, in the Atlantic Ocean, nearly eight minutes after it blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. CLICK https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1891993870428406058 [:33] to see the video.

TERRORISM: The Trump administration has added Tren de Aragua, Cartel de Sinaloa, Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, Carteles Unidos, Cartel del Noreste, Cartel del Golfo, and La Nueva Familia Michoacana, and Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) to the list of foreign terrorist organizations. This is no joke. The legal ramifications of being on this list are listed at the Wikipedia link below.

WISCONSIN: Gov. Tony Evers (D) says he supports a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person” and replace the word “husband” with the word “spouse.” “Inseminated” is how farmers talk about dairy cows. IMO, this is one very deliberate step lower than “birthing person” in the Left’s satanic drive to destroy the dignity of women and the sanctity of the family.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1893013411782439226 [:45] to hear Trump tell the governor of Maine, Janet Mills, to her (grumpy) face that her refusal to comply with his executive order to keep men out of women’s sports will result in zero federal funding. She tells him they’ll sue; he says he looks forward to it. LOL Thank God for a man who is willing to go the distance to protect real women from the trans patriarchy.

CONFIRMED: Senators voted 51–49 to confirm Kash Patel to head up the FBI. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) crossed the aisle to join Democrats in voting against Patel’s nomination. Patel tweeted, “My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.”

COVID-19: In this excerpt from Dr. Birx’s memoir, she admits, “We had to make [two weeks to flatten the curve] palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown. … No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it.”

Kfir, who was 9 months old when he was taken, was the youngest captive. The children’s father, Yarden Bibas, was returned earlier this month as part of an exchange of live hostages for prisoners.

PARDON CZAR: President Trump has appointed Alice Marie Johnson to make recommendations to him about who should be granted clemency. Johnson says, “Back in the 1990s, I was a single mother about to lose my house. In a desperate moment, I made a life-altering bad decision to become a low-level player in a drug operation. When law enforcement authorities broke up the drug operation, I was prosecuted and sentenced to life in prison.” Trump pardoned her in 2018.

SSA: When Leland Dudek (right) got caught helping DOGE understand the Social Security Administration’s systems, his then-boss, Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King (left), placed him on administrative leave pending an investigation. Then King butted heads with DOGE and ended up quitting rather than cooperate (or get fired). Trump appointed Dudek to take her place.

ANIMAL TORTURE: On Feb. 6, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing entitled “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.” Justin Goodman of the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) watchdog group reported on the millions taxpayers have spent on “transgender animal testing.” One guess who authorized 95% of this demonic activity.

“In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys, who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender-affirming hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you’ve transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you’ve put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them.”

Goodman said the WCW estimates that more than $20 billion has been spent on ineffective animal research. Rep. Mace (R-SC) noted, “We spent over $1 million to find out if female rats receiving testosterone therapy were more likely to overdose on a date rape drug. That’s what your taxpayer dollars were being spent on.”

BORDER: [10:07] – The estimated social benefit cost to each illegal is $130,000. And the Dems said that spending $5 billion to finish building Trump’s wall would be too expensive. “President Trump is committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” a White House fact sheet on the executive order said.

Re: rebate – I’m all for paying down debt. But I’ve also got a molar that could really use 5 grand.

HIRED/FIRED: The Senate has approved Howard Lutnick, Trump’s choice to head up the Commerce Department. Lutnick is a staunch supporter of Trump’s economic policies.

KANSAS: God bless the Kansas state Republicans who, on Tuesday, voted 31-9 in the state Senate and 85-34 in the state House to override the veto their woke governor slapped on the “Help Not Harm Act.” The new law bans doctors from performing transgender surgeries on minors or putting them on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. Kansas is now the 27th state to legislate gender protections for minors.

GRAMMY NOTES: I was pondering what a “sacrifice of praise” means to me and was reminded of a story I heard once. A devout pastor was struggling with depression after his daughter lost her leg to cancer. When he asked a colleague for help, the man said, “Praise God.” The depressed pastor said his spiritual life was totally dry and he didn’t feel any joy or love or gratitude etc. The colleague said, “Praise Him anyway. It’s not about your feelings. It’s about the fact that God is good in all things and through all things.” I learned from that how to be grateful and praise God even on my worst days.

TRANS TERROR CULT: On Inauguration Day, a U.S. Border Patrol Officer Agent (David Maland) and a German trans man (Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt) died during a shoot-out near the Vermont-Canada border. Bauckholt, who had initiated the deadly incident, was accompanied by a Seattle trans woman (Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut), who was injured, but survived and has been charged.

Both Bauckholt and Youngblut appear to have been followers of trans man Jack (Ziz) Lasota, leader of a violent trans cult known as the Zizzians. The group appears to have also perpetrated the murders of an elderly PA couple in January 2023 and an elderly CA man on Jan. 17, 2025.

DOGE: Yesterday, Sen. Fetterman tweeted out a Politico article that starts – “‘Five alarm warning’: Possible DOGE access to private taxpayer data sparks outcry. The Elon Musk-run effort wants to study a system that includes tax returns, Social Security numbers and other information.”

Fetterman’s comment – “I want to save billions of your money and make our government more efficient. Rummaging through your personal shit is *not* that. A party of chaos loses—always.”

I won’t dwell on the millions Politico got for $10,000/year government subscriptions. FYI: You can buy one for $200/year or $350/2 years at the link below. Neither will I dwell on the self-projection inherent in Fetterman’s final statement, though I will laugh. A lot.

What I will share is what Elon Musk responded. “Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello??? Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second … “

The oldest American on record was Sarah Knauss who died on December 30, 1999, at the age of 119 years and 97 days. According to Musk, the government has 12+ million Americans older than that listed as “alive.” Best comment: “Damn George Washington still drawing Social Security.”

Can we morally deport illegals? Is there a hierarchy of love? Yes there is. Hear Fr.

Despite having never been paid more than $210,000/year for his political jobs, he has managed to accrue $81 million in net worth.

N.b., the student put a Superman filter over his face. Some on X have criticized it, but I think if I had recorded and posted that, I would have covered my true face as well.

GRAMMY NOTES: Recently, I discovered I love junk journaling. This is the page spread I made for Valentine’s Day. Benjamin Bunny was behind the camera that Halloween … wearing a green toilet seat cover and bunny ears on his head! 🙂
