DAILY PRAYER: We adore You and we praise You, O Christ, Because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. Amen. Alleluia!

2A: Here is another example of why liberals should not be allowed to make gun policy. This leftie cartoonist is so ignorant, he showed a revolver ejecting brass. Yeah, no.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 14, 1943, Allied leaders met in Casablanca, Morocco, for a high-stakes conference that set the direction of the war in Europe and beyond. What was decided would influence battles, alliances, and the meaning of victory itself.

HEALTH: [10:28] – Many years ago, our doctor told us to stop eating anything that had an ingredient in it we couldn’t pronounce or define. I have found that a useful tool for choosing which foods are “real” vs. which ones are “too processed.”

HUMAN HATERS: CLICK https://x.com/akafaceUS/status/2010475053964546253 to watch what happened when a crazy liberal woman refused to move aside for a man whose wife was in active labor. Blocking one car … which is still running … would not have benefit the planet one iota, but it could have had serious consequences for this mother and child. The climate whack job’s actions served to prove only one thing, which is that Dr. Patrick Moore is 100% correct. Climate activists are anti-human.

HYPOCRISY: Four years ago, Democrats supported incarcerating American citizens who refused to have an experimental drug injected into their bodies. Today, these same Democrats are screaming in protest at the idea of criminal illegal aliens being incarcerated.

ID: CLICK https://x.com/Milajoy/status/2010604349299589560 [:25] to hear a grown man wearing a playing card costume get a taste of the red pill over voter ID. I’m thinking that people who are too stupid and/or lazy to get a photo ID should not be allowed to vote.

FYI: Every U.S. state offers non-driver photo ID cards (also commonly called state ID cards, non-driver’s licenses, or identification cards). These are government-issued photo IDs provided by each state’s department of motor vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency, designed for residents who do not drive or need an alternative to a driver’s license.

MINNESOTA SHOOTING: CLICK https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2010842440807137685 [3:47] to hear Greg Gutfeld present some very thoughtful comments about fake empathy liberals.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Have mercy on the soul of Your servant Scott and grant him Your salvation. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SCOTT ADAMS: RIP. [12:05] – On a personal note, after years in business, one of my brothers went back to college and got a PhD, then taught at Cornell. He often used Dilbert cartoons to illustrate points.

GRAMMY NOTES: My quilter’s heart approves this message.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please send a special blessing today to every person who is incarcerated. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash recorded the first live album during his concert at Folsom Prison.

CATHOLIC: Msgr. Stephen Rossetti, the chief exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington, prays against spirits of lethargy. [4:44] – Wow … this popped into my feed and I thought, “why not?” After all. I’ve been SO tired lately, despite getting plenty of sleep. After the third repetition, I suddenly became really dizzy, disoriented, and nauseated. Now I’m yawning like crazy. I think I need to do this every day!

GREENLAND: [10:10] – The beginning of this video is a brief segment showing independent reporter Nick Shirley talking to Greenlanders about joining the USA. More important is the longer section after during which a woman explains in simple terms about the importance of us achieving Trump’s dream.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/overton_news/status/2008970051668303995 [:25] to see a liberal agitator confront a journalist, then move on as soon as being reassured she is with CNN.

MILITARY: Since Trump took office, backlog of veterans waiting for VA benefits has decreased by 57%. The VA has opened 20 new health care clinics nationwide and investing $800 million in infrastructure improvements to ensure facilities deliver safe and effective patient care. The department has also worked to streamline access to community care, in an effort to make it easier and faster for enrolled veterans to receive treatment from non-VA providers at the VA’s expense.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please send a special blessing on all those who guard or otherwise provide services to the incarcerated. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SEARCH and RESCUE: This video is 12 years old. [2:40] – FINDER, which was developed by NASA, can detect human heartbeats and breathing through up to 30 feet of rubble or 20 feet of solid concrete. It was first deployed after the 2015 Nepal earthquake, allowing rescuers to locate survivors trapped beneath collapsed buildings.

VACCINES: CLICK https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/2010495388688457927 [:59] to hear a vaccine inventor bemoan parents being encouraged to think about when, how, and why their kids get vaccinated. He defeats his own argument when he says, “You can REASONABLY make a decision.” Exactly. He also sounds stupid when he cites “the worst flu season”, as if we didn’t already know that the flu vaccine makes you more likely to catch flu, not less!

Also, Dr. Paul Offitt is not an unbiased expert. He is a co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine RotaTeq. He is on staff at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) which sold the rights to RotaTeq. Offit received millions of dollars from that sale. Offit has a research endowed 1.5-million-dollar chair at CHOP that is funded by Merck. He used to serve on the FDA’s vaccine advisory board … until RKF Jr. fired him for conflict of interests!

GRAMMY NOTES: Last night, during their family rosary, Bootz prayed “for North Korea…no matter how much they kill Christians, I will still pray for them.”

Signs of Spiritual Attack

Not every spiritual battle comes with dramatic signs. Many times, spiritual attacks come quietly—subtle, hidden, and easy to ignore, especially when life is busy or we are spiritually distracted. Here are some often-missed warning signs:

1. Sudden Disinterest in Prayer

When prayer feels pointless, burdensome, or constantly delayed without reason, it may be more than fatigue—it may be a spiritual battle.

2. Constant Distraction During Sacred Moments

If the Mass, Rosary, or Scripture suddenly feels irritating, boring, or unbearable, this can indicate spiritual resistance.

3. Irritation Toward Holy Things

Feeling annoyed or uncomfortable around blessings, holy water, sacramentals, or reminders of faith may signal a deeper struggle.

4. Hopeless Thoughts That Aren’t True

Thoughts like “God doesn’t care about you,” “You’re unforgivable,” or “There’s no hope for you” are spiritual lies meant to discourage the soul.

5. Pulling Away From the Church

A growing urge to skip Mass, avoid Confession, or distance yourself from faith and the Church weakens spiritual strength and protection.

6. Ongoing Confusion and Inner Turmoil

Spiritual attacks often create anxiety, chaos, fear, and doubt—while God brings peace, clarity, and calm.

The hopeful news is this: Spiritual attacks lose their power when brought to light. Prayer, Confession, the Eucharist, the Rosary, holy water, and calling on the Name of Jesus restore peace, strength, and protection. God never abandons His children. But He calls us to remain spiritually awake and guarded.

Nine of the 10 top growth states voted for Trump; nine of the 10 bottom have Democrat governors. California had the most people leave in 2025, but rather than try to reverse the causes – highest tax burden, soaring deficit, and shrinking tax base – Democrats are doubling down on a new billionaire wealth tax. As a direct result of this proposed tax, billionaire Google founders – Sergey Brin and Larry Page – moved their business interests to Delaware.

TDS: CLICK https://x.com/4thOfJuly365/status/2010055133703684271 [:31] to see a woman film herself in a major MAGA meldown. I wonder how many of these people have PTSD from being forced to watch An Inconvenient Truth in grade school.

The 2025 Happiness Report shows the U.S. has dropped to number 24, our lowest position in the report’s history. The data shows the decline is largely driven by people under 30. An Inconvenient Truth was included in science curricula in schools shortly after its release in 2006, meaning the majority of American students who were forced to watch it are in their mid-30s or younger.

Now, I’m not saying that one movie is responsible for destroying the mental health of an entire generation. I’m saying it helped, as did all the rest of the anti-human, anti-American “woke” rot. You can’t raise kids to hate everything about themselves and expect them to become happy, productive members of a thriving society … which I’m certain has been the point all along.

Shwe Htoo, a Burmese illegal alien convicted of negligent homicide.

These are the people Democrat politicians and anti-American activists refer to as “neighbors” as they attempt to interfere with ICE.

“Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere. Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans. ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.” ~ICE Director Todd Lyons

AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 11, 1935, Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California, a journey that took 18 hours and covered 2,400 miles. Shortly after, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt invited Earhart to visit the White House.

MILITARY: In 1975, McDonald’s opened its first drive-through in Sierra Vista, Arizona, near Fort Huachuca. At the time, soldiers were not permitted to leave their vehicles while wearing military fatigues off post, so the restaurant allowed food to be ordered and collected directly from cars. What began as a practical workaround fit seamlessly with McDonald’s existing focus on speed, uniformity, and convenience and soon expanded to McDonald’s locations nationwide. The original Sierra Vista building was demolished in 1999, but the site still proudly displays signage commemorating it as the “World’s First McDonald’s Drive Thru.” Remnants like the original window partition are preserved locally.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 10, 1776, a short pamphlet entitled “Common Sense” quietly appeared in Philadelphia.

  2. Affordable Credit – Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Trump has called for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. As of August 2025, the Federal Reserve reported the average interest rate on credit card accounts was 22.83%. Some consumers with low credit scores pay nearly 30%.
  3. Affordable Vehicles – Buyers of cars assembled in the U.S. will be eligible to deduct up to $10,000 per year in auto loan interest, whether they itemize or take the standard deduction.

I bolted out of the car, yelling for the kids to get OUT of the car NOW, then shepherded them to the nearest building. After shouting, “Put your backs against that wall and DO NOT MOVE!”, I turned around to begin thinking what to do about the car. What I saw still makes me tear up. The intersection was littered with cars whose doors were hanging open, because the occupants had jumped out to help push my useless vehicle into the blessedly empty parking space that was right on the corner I had been turning toward. ❤

Minneapolis ICE Update

The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have been arrested.

On Thursday morning, protesters in Minneapolis again clashed with law enforcement agents in Minneapolis. At least one protester was detained as federal officers armed with pepper-ball guns and tear gas faced off with a large crowd of demonstrators, one of whom brandished an “ICE = murder” sign.

Police have been ordered to not assist ICE agents.

ICE AGENT’S VIDEO: [10:56] – Renee Nicole Good (37), the woman who was fatally shot by this ICE agent, is being celebrated by the left as an anti-ICE “warrior” who was part of a group of activists working to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good was apparently recruited through her 6-year-old son’s charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and involves children “in political and social activism. A fellow parent said, “She died doing what was right.”

HOMELAND SECURITY STATEMENT: [14:05] – On Wednesday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made this statement saying that, although any death was a “tragedy,” the shooting was justified. “Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he’s been taught to do in that situation.”

RE: The guy wearing “HSI” on his jacket – Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security, focused on investigating federal crimes, enforcing immigration laws, and protecting national security. It employs over 7,100 special agents and operates both domestically and internationally to combat various forms of crime, including human trafficking and drug smuggling.

“Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.” [Psalm 31:18]

“Targeting Law Enforcement Is Not Leadership — It’s Vigilantism” by Gary Varvel

What we’re seeing here is not just bad politics — it’s a snapshot of a godless nation in miniature. When a society no longer believes it is accountable to anything higher than its own emotions, it begins to unravel. Self-control is replaced with self-righteousness, and the loudest anger becomes the final authority. That’s why these protesters aren’t arguing their case in legislatures or courts — they’re fighting in the streets against the very people tasked with upholding the law.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey insist they’re merely “using their voices,” but when you use the power of public office to single out lawful officers as villains, you are not engaging in debate — you are designating targets. Painting ICE agents as enemies of the people while they are simply enforcing laws passed by Congress is not compassion. It’s political vigilantism, and it predictably ignites the passions of unstable individuals who don’t hear nuance — they hear permission.

We’ve already seen where that road leads. The George Floyd tragedy became a national trauma not only because of what happened in Minneapolis, but because leaders and media figures poured moral gasoline on public outrage until cities burned. You don’t need to instruct a mob to riot if you’ve already convinced it that destruction is justice and rage is virtue.

Scripture is not ambiguous about this.

“Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves” (Romans 13:1–2).

Whatever slogans Walz, Frey, and the protesters are chanting, what they are functionally doing is opposing an authority God Himself has instituted and will receive condemnation.

That doesn’t mean laws can’t be changed. It means they must be changed rightly. If they want to reform immigration policy or abolish ICE, the Constitution already provides the method: persuasion, legislation, and elections. What it does not authorize is moral intimidation, street enforcement, or deputizing mobs as a substitute for self-government.

And Scripture also speaks directly to the spirit driving all of this: “…everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God” (James 1:19–20).

A society that forgets this will inevitably trade law for passion, order for outrage, and justice for destruction — and then wonder why everything is burning.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Guide us in your justice. Let all who trust You shout for joy! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 9, 1861, Southern rebels fired on an American ship attempting to resupply Fort Sumter. Some consider these to have been the opening shots of the Civil War.

CALIFORNICATION: [13:55] – On January 1st, two new laws went into effect that are going to devastate the state’s economy.

One law reclassifies independent truckers as employees of the freight companies they work for, which has resulted in national freight companies refusing to work with California-based truckers.

The other law requires gas stations to upgrade underground storage tanks or close. Small gas stations that can’t afford the upgrades have to close down, which will likely leave rural areas wanting.

FAFO: The Minneapolis hotel that refused to book rooms to ICE agents lost its Hilton franchise.

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD: HHS has issued new dietary guidelines. It essentially reverses the previous “food pyramid” and, btw, closely aligns with the way Dearest and I eat based very simply on what makes us feel our best.

ICE: An anti-ICE protester was shot and killed during an operation in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. The Department of Homeland Security says the woman was a violent rioter who “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism” and that the officer fired in self-defense.

CLICK https://x.com/Chesschick01/status/2008990192368275931 to see slow-motion video of the incident the left is calling “cold-blooded murder.”

Hmm … anyone else thinking about how Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed on January 6, 2021? The officer who shot her to death at point blank range claimed self-defense, despite the fact that she was unarmed. I don’t remember lefties crying foul when he was cleared of all charges.

MEDICAID FRAUD: On January 6, Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service, said his agency is auditing 14 Minnesota’s Medicaid payments with the intention to “claw back” at least some of the money that went to fraudulent claims.

MILITARY: U.S. European Command and U.S. Southern Command have each seized a sanctioned crude oil tanker. Both ships were either last docked in Venezuela or were en route to it.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to become a nation of forgivers, rather than a nation of fault finders. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: The Ninth Circuit Court has unanimously ruled in favor of Yakima Union Gospel Mission in its battle with Washington State, which sought to force them to hire non-believers. The Alliance Defending Freedom notes that the ruling is especially significant because it answers an under-explored First Amendment question regarding what constitutes a “ministerial” employee.

The Ninth Circuit explicitly held that the First Amendment protects faith-based hiring for all staff because, as the court pointed out, “personnel is policy.” Yakima Union Gospel Mission prioritizes the Gospel in all it does to serve its local community. But it can only remain a Gospel-centered ministry if it’s staffed by those who believe the Gospel.

STATE DEPARTMENT: Back in February 2025, President Trump ordered the State Department to review international intergovernmental organizations we were associated with and eliminated those that no longer serve American interests. Citing problems with human rights violations and progressive ideologies like DEI, gender equity, and climate orthodoxy, the administration has detached us from 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties. Thirty-one of these entities were tied to the United Nations, while 35 others were not.

TAMPON TIM: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1602089777595505 [:27] to hear Gov. Walz threaten to mobilize Minnesota National Guard soldiers against federal law officials. Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Walz.

Am I misunderstanding something or is he threatening to pit one group of armed American citizens who swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against another group of armed American citizens who swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?

GRAMMY NOTES: [5:10] – In 2024, I had pneumonia, then croup, then croup again. Months of non-stop coughing damaged my vocal cords, leading my doctor to put me on vocal rest. I thought it would be no big deal, since I am alone for most of the day anyway. Fast forward to me discovering I talk to myself a lot.
