FBI: The Nazi Gestapo are alive and working for the Democrats. – Dan Bongino wrote, “This is absolutely a big deal. Don’t buy the bullshit otherwise. It was not a standard op. The MAL* raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI & USSS*) with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other’s activities. Anyone telling you otherwise is either dumb, or playing dumb. I’ve done more deconfliction with Russians in a foreign op I did for the USSS than the FBI did in their search warrant at MAL. Only a dumbass would pitch the “it’s the standard paperwork” line. Go serve a search warrant at the White House in the cocaine case while filling out your “standard paperwork” and see how that works out for you. Wake up.”
STRATEGIC PETROLEUM SUPPLY: It’s supposed to be for war time, but every time Biden needs to look good, he releases more to artificially decrease prices for a few days. The latest is 1 million barrels of gasoline to lower prices at the pump this summer. Thanks to Dementia Joe, the U.S. has a scant 17 days of oil and gas in the national pantry.
BIDENOMICS: When I was a kid, my father rarely did any grocery shopping. But one day he decided we should really stock up, so he and our mom took me and my little brother. We each took a cart, which he filled to overflowing. One of them had nothing in it but meat. When we got to the checkout line, my brother was so excited by the long, long, loooong tape streaming out of the register that he insisted we each guess the total. I hate guessing games, but he nagged, so I blurted, “Fine then! $187.50.” The reason I remember this in such detail is that the total turned out to be … $187.50.
DEMENTIA JOE: CLICK https://x.com/ClayTravis/status/1792601860265705867 [:19] to hear, “When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic, and the thing that happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it!’“
ANIMAL ABUSE: CLICK https://x.com/alifarhat79/status/1791563725079539943 [:46] to see something that has my BP sky rocketing with outrage. We used to keep guinea pigs as pets. They are very sweet, very shy critters that are easily frightened. Watching this little guy be forced into this terrifying situation … ARGH!!
IRAN: A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and six other passengers and crew crashed in poor weather in mountains near the Azerbaijan border. When the charred wreckage was found early today, everyone was dead. Raisi was a hardliner who was seen as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
HYPOCRISY: From the Halls of the NFL to the Shores of D.C. – Ann Coulter’s piece, linked below, is worth reading. A sampler – “Granted, Jones was just a low-level Arkansas state employee and Flowers a singer and model. Neither possessed the gravitas of a porn star. But I can’t help thinking the media would’ve been more supportive of the ladies if they’d been accusing a Republican.”
VAXXXINE: Seventeen students and employees who were denied ‘rona jab exemptions sued the University of Colorado. On May 7, 2024, three years after the fact, a federal court finally got around to ruling that the university’s mandates were unconstitutional.
NIH: On Thursday, National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Lawrence Tabak finally admitted to Congress that U.S. taxpayers did, in fact, fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic.
He and Fauci have both been saying for years that this never happened. And it certainly should not have happened, particularly during the years when it was specifically banned by federal law. BUT, says Tabak, the gain-of-function research the NIH approved and used our money to helped fund wasn’t the BAD kind. Really!
TRANS: A study entitled “Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery” was published in Cureus on April 2, 2024. It reported on the results of research, funded in part by the NIH, that examined health care data from more than 90 million patients across the U.S.
From this data, they isolated adults aged 18-60 who had attempted or committed suicide and divided them up by (a) those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery, (b) those who had had a tubal ligation or vasectomy, and (c) those who had had neither.
They found that those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery were five times more likely to self-harm than those who had had tubal ligation or vasectomy and twelve times more likely than those who had had neither.
TRUMP: Michael Cohen, who has done prison time for lying under oath, has been exposed as a man who is willing to ::gasp:: lie under oath. Cohen was the only real witness the prosecution had. After Trump’s lawyer trashed him on Thursday, the prosecution rested. On Friday, the Trumps were allowed to attend Barron’s high school graduation ceremony in Florida. The trial is expected to last a couple more weeks as the defense does their thing.
George Washington law professor, Jonathan Turley, wrote, “Even hosts and commentators on CNN are now criticizing the prosecution and doubting the basis for any conviction. The question is whether the jury itself is realizing that they are being played by the prosecution.”
GRAMMY NOTES: I’m with him. I’m not longing for the days when a woman couldn’t show an ankle or leave the house with a baby bump. But Cheese Louise … could we PLEASE go back to NOT appearing in public with our various intimate cracks and bulges on display?! Especially at Mass. Catholic priests are celibate, for crying out loud.
FAUXTUS: In 2020, Biden ran on bringing “transparency and truth back to the government,” which I’m sure totally explains why he has just invoked executive privilege to block release of audio recordings of his own interviews with special counsel Robert Hur during his probe into all those boxes of classified documents Biden took with him when he left the VP’s office.
FER REAL: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1791415339403632875 [3:10] to hear the Mean Girls get into it on Thursday evening during what was supposed to be a contempt hearing for Attorney General Merrick Garland. I just want to note that the whole nasty exchange was started by and escalated by Democrats. But what you really want to watch are the guys. LOL
OHIO: The Secretary of State all of the 88 county boards of elections to purge their voter registration rolls of ineligible individuals. “Ohioans overwhelmingly passed an amendment to our state constitution which makes it clear that only U.S. citizens can vote in our elections. It is my duty under the law to uphold the constitution, and the legislature has explicitly tasked me with ensuring that only eligible citizens can register and vote.”
TRUMP: I strongly recommend you listen to both of these videos. In the embedded video above [8:28], Judge Jeanine explains how the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. This is a very big deal. And apparently the jury knows it.
END TIMES: [51:19] – Catholic theologian and apologist Daniel O’Connor discusses why he believes the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is coming soon. This will be the time when the Our Father will come true: “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”
SLOVAKIA: CLICK https://twitter.com/SaiKate108/status/1751552779045552521 [4:09] to hear Slovakia’s Populist Prime Minister, Robert Fico, in January when he announced an inquiry into injuries and excess deaths among those who got the ‘rona jab. On Wednesday, he was shot multiple times by a member of Slovakia’s Progressive Party and is in the hospital fighting for his life.
TRUMP: Bill Maher says Stormy Daniels is a “bad witness” because she lied during her testimony in the current Trump trial. And here was me thinking that someone who has been selling her body for years can’t really be trusted to tell the truth about much of anything. But maybe that’s just me.
Maher reported that, on the stand, Daniels testimony was a litany of Me Too buzz words. Among other things, she said Trump “was bigger and blocking the way. … There was an imbalance of power for sure. … My hands were shaking so hard.”
But in 2018, when Maher interviewed her about the same incident, she insisted she was “not a Me Too case. I wasn’t assaulted. I wasn’t attacked, or raped, or coerced or blackmailed [by Trump]…. They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda. And first of all, I didn’t want to be part of that because it’s not the truth and I’m not a victim in that regard.“
I got this in email from my youngest today: “Hey! Question for you. The boys are really good at doing tasks when we tell them to, but this summer, I’d like to establish a chore system and I’m considering some sort of payment system. How did Goobers work?”
My response: Daddy came up with a theory he called Sieve Parenting that I thought made a lot of sense. From conception until sometime around six months when you were self-aware enough to begin learning manners and discipline, the parental reality sieve had the smallest holes we could manage. But as you grew, it was our job to slowly make the holes bigger and bigger so that, by your 18th birthdays, you were ready for the freedoms and responsibilities that come with being legal adults.
When you’re in it, day to day, parenting feels like forever, but really, eighteen years is not much time to move a helpless infant to the point where s/he can handle being allowed to get married, vote, borrow money, rent an apartment, buy a car, and go get shot at in some country you never heard of before. So, to ensure we slowly opened the sieve holes, every three to six months or so, we’d re-assess each of you and choose a new responsibility and freedom to acknowledge maturation.
I remember when your eldest sister started 1st grade, she had to remember her own lunch and got to read for an extra 30 minutes after bedtime. When she forgot her lunch, she had to go hungry until she got home from school. She didn’t forget again. Later, in high school, one of her responsibilities was to catch the school bus in the morning; I still remember her rage stomping down the street in the pouring rain, because we wouldn’t drive her to school. She didn’t miss the bus again. Remembering homework was a responsibility given out early as well. One time, your middle sister forgot an assignment and didn’t want to get docked a grade to turn it in a day late. Daddy told her he wanted 17 Goobers to drive it to school; she paid.
Part of being an adult is taking care of your own stuff and spaces, doing your fair share taking care of your community stuff and spaces, and learning the relationship between work and money. Since we didn’t have any actual money to spare, we printed up Goobers and let you do extra chores to earn them. They could then be used to purchase privileges of various kinds from us and from one another. We divided up the chores by things you should do for yourself, things you should do for the benefit of the community, and things that go above and beyond. The classifications depended on age, as did the definitions of what kinds of privileges could be purchased.
I did an inventory of all the things an adult living alone needs to deal with. One was buying and maintaining a wardrobe. So we spent one summer learning to sew and I made you all learn how to do your own laundry as soon as you could reach the buttons and measure out detergent. Other personal chores I required, but didn’t pay for were homework, grades, music practice (if you were taking lessons), typing tutor time (daily until you could test at 35 words per minute without looking at the keys), writing thank you notes, and Scripture, prayer and personal journaling time.
I also didn’t pay for routine community space maintenance … taking turns at setting the table, doing dishes, vacuuming, mopping, taking out trash or compost, bathrooms. But there were always little things that we considered our jobs that we paid Goobers to have help with. I can’t remember specifics, but probably stuff like weeding, peeling garlic, etc.
What could be traded or purchased with Goobers could be as variable as we wanted, depending on what you each needed to learn at any given time. They were worth $1 each; as I recall, you mostly used them to pay me to buy things you wanted at the store. But you also had to pay for rides to non-family activities. A trip to the mall for you and your friends was expensive … which is why you all learned the beauty of Public Transit.
That’s all I can think of. I hope this helped. 🙂 Love, Mom
BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT: [8:02] – Denise and Stefan are marvelous!
DEMOCRAT LIES: Pelosi totally ignores the pandemic in her bid to make Bidenomics look like a success. [:56] – Below are (a) the graph the White House is putting out to support their campaign gaslighting and (b) my focus on reality.
DESTROYING AMERICA: The interest payments on the nation’s debt has now exceeded the amount spent on both defense and Medicare.
END TIMES PROPHESY: Jonathan Cahn reveals the dark secret behind the protests and how it all ties into biblical prophecy. [42:26] – It’s long, but well worth your time. Interesting isn’t it how Barack Obama got his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Columbia and his J.D. at Harvard?
MINNESOTA: Minnesota just unveiled their new state flag. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the West. Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minnesota) is from Puntland, Somalia.
GRAMMY NOTES: We had two sets of dining out rules which were dictated by the napkins. If they were paper, then yes, you can ask for a quarter to go play the video game. If they were cloth, then no, you have to stay at the table, sit up straight, and participate in the conversation even if you’re nearly comatose with boredom.
AWESOME: [8:43] – This girl reminds me of my #2 … who is now a Lieutenant Colonel. 🙂 ❤
CAR SEATS: Comment on this video – “I’m a paramedic. I’ve been on that call where the children were not buckled in safely and the car they were in got into an accident. It wasn’t pretty. Please, for everyone out there who reads this, I don’t want to go on that call ever again. Buckle your kids in safely. If the cost to remember that lesson is a ticket, it’s a small price to pay.”
CATHOLIC: On Saturday, sixty children and their families were celebrating the Mass during which the kids would each receive their First Holy Communion. A teen, about 16 yo and dressed in black, attempted to enter with a rifle. He was stopped by parishioners, who took him outside and called police.
A parishioner approached the celebrant and whispered to him what was going on. As police searched the church, Father DuPré asked everyone to sit and pray the Hail Mary with him as police searched the church for possible further threats. There were no injuries, the children were able to receive Jesus in Holy Eucharist, and the young man is in custody.
Sadly, the church will now have uniformed law enforcement officers outside its masses, something I expect will become more and more common in coming days … until we are forced to worship in secret.
FAITH: I could tell you absolutely everything I know about my daughter, but you would still only know OF her. You could legitimately wonder if she’s real and assume she’s got nothing to do with your life. But if you met her and fell in love with her and married her, then you would know she’s real and that she is the most important person in your life. So … do I believe in God? Nope. I KNOW Him and LOVE Him and want nothing more than to be with Him forever and ever.
NORTH CAROLINA: The University of North Carolina’s board of trustees has voted unanimously to abolish the university’s DEI department and transfer all funds to the campus police. Good for them! DEI doesn’t stand for Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. It stands for Divisiveness, Exclusion, and Indoctrination.
PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT: NY prosecutors have submitted phone call records into evidence to bolster their case that Trump falsified business records to conceal payments allegedly made to Stormy Daniels to keep her lying trap shut. On Friday, a paralegal from Manhattan AG Alvin Bragg’s office testified that the office had deleted some of these records, calling the integrity of the so-called evidence into question.
QUINT-ESSENTIAL MOTHER’S DAY: The Povolo quints, born in 2002, were graduated on Mother’s Day from Montclair State University near their home in New Jersey. Four years ago, Montclair offered the family five tuition-free scholarships for the quints. Going to Montclair not only saved their parents a fortune, but also helped them all stay in touch, while still pursuing their own majors and friendships. They received bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry (Victoria), English (Ashley), Political Science (Ludovico, aka “Vico”), Business Administration (Marcus), and Nutrition and Food Science (Michael).
