BOMBSHELL: CLICK https://x.com/MAGAStormX/status/1977777356359021022 [8:25] to hear about the proof we now have that everything we thought about the Russia Hoax was true.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1977479326015926641 to see what really happened. FYI: It was not ICE arresting a six-year-old.

EVERYDAY HEROES: When a regular customer failed to turn up for his daily lunch, the staff at the Shrimp Basket restaurant in Pensacola, Florida, tried to phone him. Getting no answer, one of the cooks went to his house. The elderly man had fallen and was unable to get up again. Because somebody cared, he is in the hospital, recovering.

GRETA THUNBERG: Quoth the Raven asks, “When protest becomes indistinguishable from performance, what’s the real priority — the cause, or the spotlight?”

“Thunberg’s activism depends on saying everything as loudly and as often as possible — with maximum camera coverage. … [But] Greta has never risked more than her comfort. She has not sacrificed her safety, her health, or her future. Instead, she has repeatedly placed herself in situations designed to look dangerous enough to inspire sympathy, but not dangerous enough to demand irreversible cost. The result is a kind of protest theater: gripping to watch, but ultimately more about the performer than the issue.”

HAMAS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vNqpF31jGNM to hear from a former hostage how his captors felt about the 2024 election.

LIFE: Trump has shut down the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), a division within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that manages public health programs related to family planning, reproductive health, and adolescent services. IOW, the office that promotes early childhood sex education, LGBTQ+ activism, and abortion.

MEDIA: Note how the tone of the headlines has been modified to appeal to the political majority in the area where the paper will be marketed.

MEDICARE: Our plan is being discontinued, so I’ve begun researching to find the best replacement in time for open enrollment. I saw an ad on Facebook for Medicare School (link below). I’m sharing this because it has 4.9 out of 5 stars at Trust Pilot. The AI summary of customer reviews says:

“Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, knowledge, and patience in guiding them through the complexities of Medicare. Consumers appreciate the agents’ ability to explain options clearly, answer questions thoroughly, and provide support without any pressure. People also value the caring and helpful attitude of the staff, who are dedicated to finding the best coverage to meet individual needs.

“Many reviewers found the company’s website and social media resources, particularly the YouTube videos, to be extremely informative and helpful in understanding Medicare. Consumers felt well-prepared for their appointments after watching these videos. The booking process received mixed feedback, but overall, reviewers were satisfied with the service and support they received from the company.”

OBAMA: [5:54] – CLICK https://x.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1977798112275014017 [2:33] to see progress on his Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago, which is expected to open next year. “Decades and decades of wrong-headed thinking” will be memorialized in this hideous eyesore. It reminds me of the home of IT in “A Wrinkle in Time”, which was described as a large, rectangular building “of a greenish marble-like material. It had no windows, no doors, only a blank wall with a small circular opening high up, just under the roof.”

PEACE in the MIDDLE EAST: [10:33] – History.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We thank You for the privilege of living in the best nation in the world. Grant us courage and wisdom to choose leaders who are humble and righteous. May all our leaders prioritize justice, truth, and peace. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BOONDOGGLE: In 2011, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert received $1.6 billion in taxpayer-backed loans. President Obama’s first energy secretary, Ernest Moniz, hailed it as “an example of how America is becoming a world leader in solar energy.“

Covering five square miles, the facility featured three 459-foot towers and 173,500 computer-controlled mirrors designed to reflect sunlight to a receiver mounted on top of a tower containing a fluid that heated up and powered a conventional steam turbine.

The heat generated by the mirrors also elevated the air temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees, incinerating approximately 6,000 bird deaths each year. Since this only happens during daylight hours, the facility charbroils more than one bird per hour. Yoiks!

Besides slaughtering the wildlife, the device proved too inefficient to compete with conventional solar panels and is shutting down more than a decade ahead of its original 2039 closure date. The $1.6 billion federal loan that We The Taxpayers got stuck guaranteeing has not been repaid.

EVERYDAY HEROES: The young man sitting down was struggling with his tie, so the older gentleman showed him how, then watched as the young man repeated it to show he had it. The photo was taken by a bystander.

HISTORY: Dr. Virginia Apgar wanted to be a surgeon, but in the 1940s few women were allowed into the operating room. So she specialized in anesthesiology instead. Working in Columbia-Presbyterian’s maternity ward, she saw newborns die within minutes of birth because doctors had no system to judge which babies needed help first. One morning in 1952, she grabbed a pen and paper and designed a five-point test measuring heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. She called it the Apgar Score. Within a decade, almost every hospital in America was using it. Infant mortality fell sharply. Her test now guides every delivery room on Earth.

Dear Lord, We ask for Your special care and blessing on the hostages and their loved ones as they recover from their horrific ordeal. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

OBAMACARE: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1977569052940767308 [1:08] to hear Obama back in 2013 talk about how Republicans were threatening to shut down the government in an effort to stop Obamacare, which was allegedly going to ensure that, going forward, families would be able to get insurance for less than the cost of cell service.

Today, Democrats are claiming they have shut down the government because health insurance is unaffordable. This is because the actual effects of The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) have been to cause insurance premiums to rise and to decrease the number of insurance options. As per usual, the name Democrats put on a bill predicted the exact opposite of what the bill would accomplished when passed into law.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Thank You for the wisdom and courage You gave to Donald Trump to negotiate peace in the Middle East and bring the hostages home. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

VIRGINIA: CLICK https://x.com/LarryOConnor/status/1977376621129527533 [1:05] to see a devastating ad by GOP gubernatorial candidate, Winsome Sears.

VOTING MACHINES: Remember 2020 when Dominion voting machines were accused of having been hacked to give Sleepy Joe the win? The company has just been purchased by a former Republican election official named Scott Leiendecker.

From here on, Dominion Voting Systems will be known as Liberty Vote. Funny thing that. Dominion means supreme authority. Liberty means the power of choice. Hmmm…

Nobody ever proved that the Dominion company itself was liable for fraud or misconduct in the 2020 election. However, the machines were demonstrably easy to hack, leading to widespread belief that Democrat operatives did steal the election. Liberty Vote plans a “top-down” review of Dominion’s equipment, including rebuilding or retiring machines; it emphasizes “100% American ownership” and aims to rebuild trust in elections.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless all married couples with peace, patience, and spiritual growth. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

EVERYDAY: Mary’s 82-year-old great uncle asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She told him a yarn bowl, figuring he’d just buy one from a craft store. Instead he disappeared into his workshop for a month, emerging finally with the beauty shown above. Mary says, “I’m never buying another yarn bowl as long as I live.”

HISTORY: In 1856, Mary Ann Brown Patten was only 19 years old when she boarded the clipper ship Neptune’s Car with her husband, Captain Joshua Patten. When her husband fell ill and collapsed, Mary took command and, using the navigation skills her husband had taught her, safely guided the ship and her entire crew for a grueling 56 days. After rounding the treacherous waters of Cape Horn, Neptune’s Car arrived in San Francisco with her full crew intact and her temporary captain eight months pregnant.

MORAL NATION: CLICK https://x.com/MatteaMerta/status/1975375243012387296 [:20] to hear President Trump speak briefly on this topic.

Peter Heck at Not The Bee makes a good point: “The Christian pursuit of goodness isn’t about earning heaven; it’s about reflecting the character of the One who saved us. We obey not to prove ourselves to God, but because we belong to Him.

“So yes, Trump deserves immense credit for recognizing that a society without God cannot sustain virtue. But let’s also be clear: God isn’t measuring goodness like a cosmic scorekeeper. He’s offering redemption through Christ to all who recognize they aren’t good enough.

“That’s the paradox of real faith: Goodness begins not with proving ourselves, but with admitting we can’t.”

NEW YORK SUCKS: ICE arrested “No Name Given in Oklahoma. This illegal alien holds a New York State Commercial Driver’s License, allowing him to drive semis and transport hazardous materials.

The star on the license shows it is a “REAL ID” (aka, “Enhanced License”), which allows the holder the board domestic flights, enter federal buildings and military bases, cross U.S. border from Canada, Mexico, and some Caribbean countries (by land or sea only),

New York State’s DMV states, “If you are a U.S. citizen and New York State resident, you can apply for a New York State Enhanced License.” Documentation required includes: provide proof of identity, proof of U.S. citizenship, proof of New York residency, and a Social Security number.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please continue to bless Donald Trump with good faith leadership that he may one day understand fully the depth of your saving grace. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SHUTDOWN: On October 11, President Trump announced his administration has allocated funds to keep active-duty service members paid during the government shutdown. Their next payday is on the 15th.

VIRGINIA: CLICK https://x.com/KyleMartinsen_/status/1976427949973963256 [1:56] to hear the Democratic gubernatorial candidate try her darnedest to avoid condemning Jay Jones. In the comments, one Virginian asks, “If they’re running different campaigns, why are the yard signs in N. Va. all triple-ticket yard signs?”

Life Site News reports contacted the top ten Democrat donors (Total: $5,231,690), asking if they would rescind their Jones endorsements. They got back ::crickets::.

1) Violating 8 U.S. Code § 1325 – Improper entry by alien is only a misdemeanor for a first offense by someone who has never been convicted of a crime. After that, it’s a felony.

2) A misdemeanor is considered a criminal act.

LIFE: Chase and Cooper were identical twins who were miscarried at 22 weeks. Their mother chose to share their photos, saying, “I want people to know that this is what a 22-week-old child looks like.”

MASSATWOSHITS: A Christian couple from Woburn, Massachusetts has lost their license to foster children because they refused to sign a gender affirming policy form from the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Since 2020, Lydia and Heath Marvin have have fostered eight different children under the age of 4. Their most recent foster child was a baby with complex medical needs who stayed with them for 15 months.

Last week, the Trump administration sent a letter to DCF, addressing the lawsuit and specifically mentioning the Marvins. The Massachusetts Family Institute and Alliance Defending Freedom has also filed a federal lawsuit against DCF regarding this issue.

RIFs: [8:49] – Currently, more than 4,000 federal employees have received termination notices. Federal employees are entitled to 60 days written notice before separation (termination), although this can be shortened to 30 days with approval from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). N.b., it is the OPM that is currently in charge.

While these RIF (Reduction in Force) notices begin upon notification, they run independently of the shutdown. Federal employees who receive RIF notices will be out of their jobs once their notification period ends. If the shutdown ends prior to that date, they will receive retroactive pay for any days they were on furlough.

Unless their agencies voluntarily rescind their notice, they will be required to return to work for the remaining notice time to wrap up affairs or perform limited transition work. Since Trump has prioritized cutting the federal work force and all the department heads are his people, this is unlikely.

Some employees can appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) within 30 days of separation, potentially delaying enforcement or seeking reinstatement with backpay. And some RIFs include buyouts or early retirement incentives.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Bless us with the graces we need to be strong and courageous as we face today’s challenges. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BEAUTY BREAK: [6:35] – Stay to the end so you don’t miss how wildly successful was her invitation to create star quilt blocks to go with hers for the 40th International Quilt Festival back in 2014.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/TPostMillennial/status/1737131885958996219 [:42] for a flash back to 2023.

CHARLIE KIRK: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1073649551620488 [3:08] to hear him respond to a college student’s unbelievably ignorant statements about the Constitution. There is zero excuse for anyone to be this stupid in this day and age. I found this with a few keystrokes: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/.

COMEY: Former FBI Director James Comey is charged with making false statements and obstructing a congressional hearing related to the Trump-Russia probe. He has pleaded “not guilty.”

EVERYDAY HEROES: In 1968, Japan Airlines pilot Kohei Asoh mistakenly landed a DC-8 jet several miles short of San Francisco International Airport, right into the shallow waters of the bay. Miraculously, all passengers survived, and the aircraft was later salvaged. But what stood out most was Asoh’s response during the investigation.

When asked what went wrong, Asoh gave a blunt, unvarnished answer: “As you Americans say, I f–ked up.” His honesty stunned officials, contrasting sharply with the usual evasions and technical jargon common in aviation mishaps. He took full responsibility without deflecting blame or offering excuses.

This rare act of candor became known as the “Asoh defense”, a term now used in business, law, and leadership to describe the power of owning one’s mistakes directly. It’s a reminder that accountability, even when uncomfortable, can build trust and credibility faster than spin or denial.

GENEALOGY: In Somerset, England, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a 9,100-year-old skeleton inside a cave at Cheddar Gorge. The ancient individual, nicknamed “Cheddar Man,” is one of Britain’s oldest known skeletons and provides an invaluable glimpse into life during the Mesolithic period, shortly after the last Ice Age.

In a groundbreaking study, scientists extracted and analyzed DNA from Cheddar Man’s remains. To their surprise, they discovered that a local schoolteacher named Adrian Targett, who lives in the very same town, is a direct descendant of this ancient Briton. Their shared family link stretches back an astonishing 300 generations, proving an unbroken line of ancestry in the same region for nearly ten millennia.

JAMES: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Court of Virginia on one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements in connection to property she owns in Norfolk, Virginia.

JONES: Jay Jones, candidate for AG of Virginia, is getting a pass from his fellow Dems for wishing death on his opponent. Since the story broke, the big 4 public networks have devoted a combined minute and 3 seconds to the story. If the Republican candidate had been the one exposed for wishing death on his opponent, he’d be a household name.

MOZAMBIQUE: More than 30 Christians have been beheaded at the hands of Islamic State terrorists in Mozambique. I googled “Mozambique” and got only one link to this story (below). [6:35] – Revelation 6:9-11 – Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs – “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.”

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Send Your angels to guard our land and grant wisdom to our security forces. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SCIENCE: Doctors at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital in South Korea implanted a 3D-printed, bioengineered windpipe into a woman who had lost part of her trachea during thyroid cancer surgery. The 5-cm windpipe was made from a biodegradable polymer scaffold infused with stem cells and cartilage cells. The design lets it function as a living organ rather than a mere replacement part. Six months after surgery, her body began forming new blood vessels and tissue within the implant. Doctors believe that in a few years, the synthetic scaffold will naturally dissolve, leaving behind a fully regenerated, patient-grown trachea.

AOC: On October 6, 2025, AOC mocked White House deputy chief of policy, Stephen Miller, calling him a “clown” and said he “looks like he’s 4’10” tall. She framed this as part of a broader call to “laugh at” MAGA men’s “insecure masculinity” to undermine their movement. Miller is actually 5’10” tall.

As the SUV drifted into another lane on the high-traffic highway, Drake quickly called his mom. She instructed him to climb onto his grandfather’s lap, take the wheel, and carefully brake. Using the little driving experience he had from farm tractors, Drake managed to steer the SUV safely for nearly a mile, pulling it off the highway and calling for help.

Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner has also reported on a 2020 conversation she had with Jones about qualified immunity for police officers. She had warned him that ending those protections would get officers killed. His response was, “Well, maybe if a few of them died, then they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people.”

Under Virginia law, it is a felony to “knowingly communicate … a threat to kill or do bodily injury to a person.” Yet, Jones has yet to lose a single Virginia party endorsement.

The Weird Tale of Ian Andre Roberts

ICE recently arrested the system superintendent for Des Moines Independent Community School District, Ian Andre Roberts (54). Before that, he was superintendent of schools at Millcreek Township School District in Pennsylvania. He has also held high roles in public education in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and California. During his 20 years as a leader in education, his districts were sued four times for sex discrimination. One district had to pay over $400,000 in settlements to resolve three of them.

DHS has published his entire immigration record and lists his first entry as having been on June 1, 1994, when he came through JFK on a temporary, B-2 non-immigrant visa (i.e., a visitor for pleasure). But Coppin State University in West Baltimore, MD, say Roberts graduated in 1998, which begs the question of why he wasn’t here on a student visa. Coppin says Roberts was “a standout scholar and athlete during his undergraduate studies”, but did not specify what degree he earned.

On July 3, 1996, part way through his undergraduate years, Roberts was charged with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York. Was he using drug sales to finance his education? And why wasn’t he deported, since his B-2 visa had expired?

On March 8, 1999, Roberts again entered the country, this time on an F-1 student visa. St. John’s University in New York has confirmed that he was matriculated and received a master’s degree in education on June 4, 2000. Roberts has claimed to have earned a second master’s degree from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, but Georgetown says they have no record of his ever attending.

Between 1999 and 2000, he left and returned several times, perhaps to train and then run in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where he represented Guyana in track.

On Feb. 9, 2000, Roberts filed an application for employment authorization, which was approved on April 5, 2000, with an expiration date of April 1, 2001. In May 21, 2001, he filed for permanent resident status (aka, green card), but was rejected.

From Fall 2002 to Spring 2007, Roberts was enrolled in the doctorate program in urban educational leadership at Morgan State University in Baltimore. He has claimed to have earned a doctorate in Education, but Morgan State says that, while he did attend, he did not graduate.

On Nov. 1, 2012, Roberts was convicted of reckless driving, unsafe operation, and speeding in Maryland.

In 2017, while Roberts was the principal of Anacostia High School, Washington, DC, he registered as a Democrat with the Maryland State Board of Elections.

From 2018 to 2020, Roberts was Chief Schools Officer for Aspire Public Schools, Oakland, CA. Once in May, twice in June, and then again in July of 2018, Roberts filed green card applications; all four were rejected.

In July of 2018 and again in November of 2019, he filed for employment authorizations, which were granted. His right to be in the USA expired on Dec. 18, 2020. On Oct. 2, 2020, USCIS issued him a notice to appear before an immigration judge, which he ignored.

On Feb. 3, 2020, he was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and fourth-degree weapon charges.

On Jan. 20, 2022, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania convicted Roberts of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.

From August 2020 through June 2023, Roberts was superintendent of the Millcreek Township School District, Pennsylvania. The Millcreek Township School District is saying now that, prior to hiring, Roberts went through an FBI background check, completed I-9 eligibility forms and supplied documentation to support his eligibility to work. The district said it “never received any information or notification regarding the expiration of Dr. Roberts’ work authorization” and called reports of his detention “deeply concerning.”

In August of 2023, Roberts had a sealed restraining order filed against him in Jackson County, Missouri.

Also in 2023, Roberts was hired to become the new system superintendent for Des Moines Independent Community School District.

On May 22, 2024, Roberts was court ordered in absentia to leave the country.

On April 24, 2025, an immigration judge denied Roberts’ motion to reopen his case.

In July of 2024, he received a speeding ticket from Iowa State Patrol.

On September 26, 2025, Roberts was detained in Des Moines, Iowa. Following news of the arrest, a spokesperson for the Des Moines Independent Community School District told the Associated Press that they had done a “comprehensive background check,” that he had sworn on his application to be a U.S. Citizen and had provided them with a driver’s license and a Social Security card. They also stated that a law firm had reviewed the documents and did not raise any concerns about his eligibility to work.

The district is also now blaming the head hunting firm they hired, saying the firm did not inform them of any problems. But the firm says it performed a criminal background check and notified the district of Robert’s rap sheet. One of the news reports I saw also noted that the school board also had learned during the hiring process that Roberts had lied about his doctoral degree. Clearly, they ignored all the red flags, because they hired him anyway.

On October 2, Roberts was transferred to federal custody where he faces charges of being an illegal alien in possession of multiple firearms. These firearms include a loaded Glock 9mm pistol found in his car when he was apprehended, as well as a loaded and chambered 9mm pistol found underneath a seat cushion in the living room, a loaded rifle found in the master bedroom closet, and a shotgun found behind the master bedroom headboard.
