BORDER: Last weekend, ICE arrested some more of those “worst of the worst.”

  1. Jung Choi (South Korea), who was convicted of helping to bludgeon a woman to death and dump her body into a ravine;
  2. Marion Andres Gomez-Arenas (Colombia), whose rap sheet includes 23 criminal arrests and 18 convictions;
  3. Arturo Serrano-Zeferino (Mexico) who has been convicted on charges of felony stalking, and domestic violence;
  4. Zoilo Holguin-Tavarez (Dominican Republic), who has been convicted of drug trafficking;
  5. Kelin Henriquez-Ruiz (Nicaragua), who has been convicted of assault causing bodily injury;

  9. Madai Perez-Perez (Guatemala), who has been of poisoning; and,
  10. Long Duc Tran (Vietnam), who has been convicted of assault and of aggravated malicious wounding with a firearm.

DEA: Twenty-seven people were arrested in Franklin, New Hampshire, in a sweeping narcotics bust that seized fentanyl and methamphetamine tied to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, which federal officials say has long dominated the fentanyl trade into the U.S. Fentanyl is our leading cause of overdose deaths, with more than 70,000 fatalities a year. DEA officials stressed that the Franklin investigation is ongoing, with more arrests possible.

KAMALA: Trump has ended former VP Harris’ Secret Service protection. This is nothing special. Former vice presidents generally receive six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office.

MEAT: A large study of nearly 16,000 adults found no link between eating animal protein and higher death risk. Surprisingly, higher animal protein intake was associated with lower cancer mortality, supporting its role in a balanced, health-promoting diet.

TYLENOL: A study entitled “Evaluation of the evidence on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders using the Navigation Guide methodology” was published on August 14, 2025, in Environmental Health.

Acetaminophen, commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol and many others, has been considered the safest painkiller for pregnant women to manage fever, headache, and other pain. It’s also called paracetamol in other countries, including the United Kingdom.

The authors of the study analyzed the results of 46 studies on the painkiller that represents data from 100,000 participants, the researchers looked at a possible connection between pregnant women taking acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD.

They report the studies show that children who were exposed to the drug in utero “may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD.”

Minneapolis Shooting

Dear Lord, We ask Your gracious blessings on all those affected by this act of pure evil. Grant them the graces they need to heal in mind, body, and spirit. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

Two children are dead after a Trump-hating trannie opened fire during morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School. The shooter was also found dead at the scene. The 17 injured, who were mostly children, are all expected to survive. CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1960781221354475522 [:10] to hear a 10-year-old describe what he experienced.

Democrats sneered at Vance’s tweet. But if they’d done nothing, they’d have squee’d they didn’t care. It’s all getting so old.

Jen Psaki posted the atrocious thoughts above. J.D. Vance responded, “We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action. Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?”

The New York Slime reported that nobody has any idea what the shooter’s motive might have been.

CLICK https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1960874477371208169 [2:23] to hear her Psaki weep about the shootings, then sneer at those who offer prayer, then worry over the safety of trans people all over the world.

CLICK https://x.com/TPostMillennial/status/1960734495184650705 [1:08] to hear Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey also mock prayer, then assure us all that “Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for the trans community.”

All of Minnesota too. Have any of the morons blaming Republicans for this even noticed that Minnesota is a blue state whose coocoo pants governor was recently the Democrat’s pick for Vice President? But yeah … let’s all ignore the fact that this was an anti-Catholic hate crime committed by an ardent member of the Leftist tribe.

CLICK https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1960877631185760567 [2:33] to hear Psaki ask Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey how liberals can prevent the facts about the shooter getting out so they can blame the guns. It’s sickening to listen to this garbage from people like her who grab every opportunity to politicize and weaponize before the facts are in.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Bless our children with all the graces they need to become truly holy. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

1A: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1960495188352045143 [:23] to see a man who claims to be a veteran “challenge” Trump’s recent executive order by burning a flag near the White House. He shouted into his bullhorn, “Burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that house. … There’s a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. No president can make a law, period.”

He was arrested, not for peaceful protest by flag burning, but because he set a fire in a public park outside a designated area. As for making a law, Trump did no such thing. He merely encouraged prosecutors to apply to flag burning the SCOTUS ruling that speech intended to incite violence is not protected under the First Amendment.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recent rulin in Moncada v. Blinken could strengthen Trump’s efforts to stop illegals from dropping their so-called “anchor babies” on U.S. soil.

The case involved the son of a Nicaraguan diplomat who had assumed he was a citizen, because he was born here. When he applied for a passport, they told him he wasn’t eligible, because his father had had full diplomatic immunity. The court ruled that he is not a U.S. citizen, because IOW, he and his family had not been “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States at the time of his birth.

Being “subject to the jurisdiction” means being under the complete legal authority of the U.S. government, including its laws, courts, and regulations. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S.-born child of parents who were legal residents, though not citizens, was himself a citizen.

The question remains if those who are here illegally qualify as “subject to the jurisdiction” or not. IRS, anyone?

CABINET CLIPS: [5:05] – I asked Grok to explain Rubio’s joke about having four jobs. “The remark highlights Rubio’s unprecedented accumulation of high-level roles in the Trump administration, stemming from a series of appointments and interim assignments since his confirmation as Secretary of State in January 2025.The four jobs Rubio referenced are:

  1. Secretary of State: Rubio’s primary Cabinet position, confirmed unanimously by the Senate (99-0) on January 20, 2025. He leads the U.S. Department of State, overseeing foreign policy, diplomacy, and international relations.
  2. Interim (Acting) National Security Adviser: Appointed in May 2025 after President Trump removed Mike Waltz from the role amid a scandal involving unsecured communications (known as “Signalgate”). This position involves advising the president on national security matters and coordinating the National Security Council.
  3. Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Assumed in February 2025 as part of efforts to restructure and reduce the agency’s operations, including a freeze on foreign aid and significant staff cuts. USAID handles U.S. foreign aid and development assistance programs.
  4. Acting Archivist of the United States (National Archives and Records Administration – NARA): Also taken on in February 2025 following the dismissal of the previous archivist, Colleen Shogan, in what was described as an act of retribution related to past investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents. This role oversees the preservation and management of federal records.

D.C.: I think “Defund the Police” was a leftie ploy to eventually nationalize and militarize local law enforcement. Their problem now is not with either of those things.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to not make messes for You to clean up. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AI: Yesterday, Grok told me Orlando’s rainbow crosswalk had not been repainted in years.

BORDER: Remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the MS-13 gang banger who has been the poster boy for Democrats’ opposition to Trump’s deportation efforts?

The Laughing Stock Media continue to report that he was “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador, which is his home country. As a known gang member, El Salvador locked him up and the Dems sent emissaries to El Savador so they could take photos of themselves for fund raising.

El Salvador sent him back to face federal human smuggling charges and, on Friday, he was released to home detention while he awaits trial.

But wait …the United States had made a deal with Uganda to take deportees who, like Abrego Gardia, don’t want to return to their home countries or whose home countries refuse to take them. Uganda prefers they not be violent criminals. Since Dems insist Abrego Garcia isn’t a human trafficking, woman beating scumbag who works for MS-13, he could go to Uganda. Right?

CANADA: Starting next month, Canada will drop its silly retaliatory tariffs and do what Trump said, which is fairly match our tariffs.

CATHOLIC: In 662, Maximus was convicted of heresy for teaching that Jesus possessed both a human and a divine will, a position rejected by then-Emperor Constans. He had his tongue cut out and his right hand cut off, so that he could no longer speak or write about his opposition to the imperial theology. He died soon after. Eighteen years later, the Sixth Ecumenical Council declared that Christ possessed both a human and a divine will and Maximus was posthumously declared innocent.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: [6:41] – Sending kids to war to make money is so evil. ::smh::

EDUCATION: Loudon County is at it again. The uber woke North Virginia school district investigated three high school boys for complaining about a girl using their locker room, then let the Muslim boy off the hook, while punishing the other two, who are Christians. Jason Miyares, Virginia’s Republican attorney general, has announced an investigation into the school district over the incident. The Founding Freedoms Law Center is representing the two boys.

HOUSING: I’ve been watching a YouTube of proud tiny home owners bragging their weensy little $200K house was such a bargain. I mean … seriously?!

We paid $42,000 for our little ranchburger back in 1984. Granted, it was a nothing special starter home, but it was sturdy, everything worked properly, and it was/is in a great neighborhood. It had 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a partially finished full basement. IOW, much larger than anything that qualifies as a tiny house. At 210.8% inflation, a house like ours should cost about $130,000. But according to the map above, the average home in New York currently costs $482,700, which suggests even a starter home is going for waaaay more than $130K.

I plugged the NYS average income ($86K) into the mortgage calculator linked below. It says someone with that income should be able to comfortably afford a house costing up to $287,739. Wow. No wonder so many young people and retirees are opting for tiny homes!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Awaken our minds and hearts to the reality of all sin and bring us to a place of true humility and repentance. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CATHOLIC: [17:18] – This is a very interesting story.

D.C.: CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1958648554525786596 [:41] to hear Trump address the troops in the capital. He then dined with them on the burgers he’d brought that had been cooked by White House chefs and pizzas from a local restaurant.

EPSTEIN: Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, had a heart-to-heart with the Department of Justice, during which she said she never saw President Donald Trump act inappropriately.

“I think they were friendly, like people are in social settings. I don’t — I don’t think they were close friends, or I certainly never witnessed the President in any of — I don’t recall ever seeing him in his house, for instance.

“I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way. The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”

When pressed if Maxwell had ever heard rumors or witnessed Trump do anything inappropriate with “masseuses or with anybody in your world,” she responded, “Absolutely never, in any context.”

FLORIDA: DeSantis’ administration has declared that roadway markings are for safety purposes only, not political statements. Hence, Orlando’s Pulse Memorial Crosswalk was painted over to remove the rainbow pride colors that were installed in 2019 near the Pulse nightclub site to commemorate the 2016 shooting. On August 21, 2025, hundreds gathered at the site for rallies, with chants of “Bring back the rainbow!” and signs protesting state overreach. Some people colored in the rainbow stripes with chalk.

NEWSCUM: [1:19] – CLICK https://x.com/Shawn_Farash/status/1959023264887709926 [:26] to see a fabulous, multi-message billboard.

THE MEDIUM IS NOT THE MESSAGE: In 1964, Canadian communication theorist Marshall McLuhan published a book called The Medium is the Message in which he posited that the communication medium was more important than the message it carried. Democrats still believe this ridiculous theory.

A center-left think tank known as Third Way has sent out a list of 45 words and phrases they want Democrats to stop using. The piece (top link below) is worth reading, if only so you can appreciate how totally clueless the opposition is. For example, every item on the blacklist was invented by lefty Democrats to try and communicate their values. Now they’re saying they need to stop using them, so they can better communicate their values.

This all reminds me of something my Communication Arts professor at Cornell said once. He was talking about marriage counselors telling couples in trouble that they aren’t communicating. “They’re communicating just fine. It’s what they’re communicating that is the problem.”

TDS: CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1958682516484682119 [:41] to hear failed politician Stacey Abrams say, “If it is true that [Trump] is a grand ayatollah, that mystical power extends and can be – he can anoint his prophets and he can remain in power even if he doesn’t hold the title of president.”

Uhhhhhhhh … project much, Stacey? It was the Dems who declared Barack Hussein an “enlighted being” and constantly presented him with a haloed head and in Jesus-like poses. It was Obama himself who said he wanted a third term where he had a pliant puppet in the Oval Office doing his will for him. It was Democrats who cheated cancer-drug-befuddled Joe Biden into said office where “he” could maximize Obama’s America-killing agenda for four more years.

GRAMMY NOTES: Ha ha ha … but wait … how did a dog that smart get lost in the first place, she asks, unable to stop herself from over-thinking dumb jokes.

BOLTON: [8:01] – On August 22, 2025, at about 7 a.m., FBI agents raided John Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland. The word on the street is they had a warrant to search for classified documents. The Epoch Times said, “The FBI did not provide a substantive reply in response to an inquiry”, but noted FBI Director Kash Patel had posted on X, “NO ONE is above the law … @FBI agents on mission” and that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, had shared this, writing, “Public corruption will not be tolerated.” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X, “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always.”

CALIFORNICATION: In the 2024 presidential election, nearly 40% of California voters chose Trump; fewer than 20% of California’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are filled by Republicans.

RUSSIA vs UKRAINE: Not long after Putin met with Trump in Alaska, the Russian army launched one of its largest overnight strikes since the war began. More than six hundred drones, ballistic and cruise missiles landed on Ukraine, killing one, injuring dozens and destroying an American-owned electronics company less than an hour from two NATO borders.

SCOTUS: The Supremes voted 5–4 on Aug. 21 to allow the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Trump administration argued that National Institutes of Health grants conflict with the president’s policy goals.

TRANS: OMG interview with Vanessa Savidge [1:34:20] – Vanessa Sivadge thought she’d found her dream job as a pediatric nurse at the nation’s top children’s hospital. Instead, she says she watched doctors steer healthy kids into gender transitions, prescribing powerful drugs, billing taxpayers, and hiding it from the public.

Out of her concern for the kids, she spoke anonymously in 2023 with journalist Christopher Rufo about the hospital having publicly claimed to have shut down the transgender medicine program, yet said it was continuing. Approximately two months after that interview, two FBI agents, Paul Nixon and David McBride, came to her home, identifying her as a “person of interest” in an investigation related to a whistleblower who had exposed the program, alleging a violation of federal privacy laws (HIPAA).

She claimed the agents intimidated her, stating they would “make life difficult” for her if she was protecting the leaker and suggested she was “not safe” at work, implying someone at her workplace had given her name to the FBI. Doorbell camera footage shared by Rufo captured the agents at her door, asking to speak with her about “some of the things that have been going on at [her] work lately.”

I am gobsmacked that those two FBI agents showed up on official business wearing jeans and casual shirts.

[4:35] – When my brother was in Vietnam, he was shot in the torso by a sniper. The bullet did massive damage, his recovery was long, and he has had some lifelong health issues as a result. But what the bullet did not do was kill him. The surgeon who removed the bullet said that, based on its trajectory, it should have gone straight through his heart. The surgeon said it had not hit anything that could have deflected it. It just altered course inside my brother’s chest and went around his heart!

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RbNzb-XQzA8 to hear what “transforming union with God” is. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/68Gz7kiyROA for another kind of related thing.

COSTCO: Costco Wholesale Corp. has decided not to dispense the abortion pill mifepristone at its more than 500 pharmacy locations.

LIFE: Rose Docherty (75) was arrested in February for holding a sign offering conversation while standing within 200 feet of a hospital in Scotland that commits abortions. Thank God, the charges against her have all been dropped.

Pro-aborts want to silence sidewalk counselors, because they offer women alternatives. Pro-aborts do not care that more than half of the women who have had abortions report that they were coerced into killing their babies.

NEWSCUM: Lately, Gavin’s X account has featured Trump-mimicking, all-caps posts like the one above. These are reportedly written by a small team from his press office, though the governor says he is actively involved.

FYI: Dana Perino was George W. Bush’s Press Secretary from September 14, 2007, to January 20, 2009 and is now a regular political commentator on Fox News.

NEW YUCK: The absurd, half-a-billion dollar penalty Trump received as a result of the kangaroo court case spear-headed by Attorney General Letitia James has been ruled unconstitutional.

ROSE GARDEN: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1957897812009709735 [:30] to hear what Trump had playing when he showed off the white stone pavers that were installed to replace the grass that was a safety hazard, particularly for women in high heels. The project was overseen by the National Park Service and funded by the Trust for the National Mall and private donors. The rose bushes and floral borders were not changed.

THE VIEW: Co-host Ana Navarro called First Lady Melania Trump’s letter to Putin performative hypocrisy during a 3-minute Instagram video rant. If Jill Biden had done it, Navarro would’ve been squeeing about how gracious and First Lady-like it was.

WOKE: The Smithsonian often promotes overt left-wing ideology and historical spin. Last week, the Trump administration began moving to weed it out.

Fake News Hoax List: Part 4

BORDER AGENTS WHIPPING ILLEGALS HOAX: In September 2021, U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback were falsely accused of whipping Haitian migrants attempting to cross the border illegally. The twirling rein maneuver is used to either guide the horse or to deter humans from approaching the horse. It is not use to whip people. After a months-long investigation, four agents were disciplined for minor infractions, but no criminal charges were filed.

NASCAR NOOSE HOAX: On June 21, 2020, a member of Wallace’s Richard Petty Motorsports team discovered a garage door pull rope tied into what they identified as a noose in garage stall number 4 at Talladega Superspeedway, Alabama.

Because the garage stall was assigned to NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s Cup Series, the “noose” was turned into a big deal. The FBI was notified and 15 agents were dispatched to investigate. It turned out, the “noose” had been there since long before the stall had been assigned to Wallace. It was nothing more than a pull down loop for the garage door.

Of all the hundreds of garage doors at the speedway, it was the only one tied with a noose-style slip knot or running bowline, no doubt because that type of knot is prone to slipping or over-tightening. For pulling something, the bowline knot or figure-eight loop are better choices.

GEORGIA JIM CROW 2.0 HOAX: In 2021, Georgia passed an election reform law (SB 202) that Democrats insisted was racist. President Biden said the law “makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.” Stacey Abrams, a Georgia activist and gubernatorial wannabe called it “Jim Crow in a suit and tie.”

The racism claim was based on the law replacing signature matching system for absentee ballots with an ID number such as a driver’s license number, Social Security number, or free state voter ID number. The approximately 9,000 Georgia voters who don’t have one of these identifications can use a bank statement, utility bill, or alternative ID.

Personally, I think it’s racist to assume that only people of color are incapable of obtaining even one of those six forms of identification. Oh … and also … Jim Crow laws were passed by Democrats.

“A nationwide economic depression following the Panic of 1873 led to major Democratic gains across the nation. White Democrats calling themselves ‘Redeemers regained control of the South state-by-state, often using fraud and violence to control elections. …

“The end of Reconstruction was a staggered process, with Republican control ending at different times in different states. It was the Compromise of 1877, however, that finally ended all military intervention in Southern politics and Republican control of state governments in the South. This began the Jim Crow Era.”

TRUMP TRIED TO COMMANDEER CAR HOAX: Cassidy Hutchinson, assistant to Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, was the January 6 Committee’s star witness.

During her testimony, she claimed that Tony Ornato, the White House deputy chief of staff, had told her that, during the January 6 riot, President Trump became borderline violent when his lead Secret Service agent, Bobby Engel, said they were returning to the White House. Hutchinson claimed Ornato told her that Trump had tried to grab the steering wheel saying something to the effect of, “I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now.”

The year after her testimony, Simon & Schuster published a memoir by Hutchinson entitled Enough for which Hutchinson raked in somewhere between several hundreds of thousands to possible a million dollars.

Tony Ornato, Bobby Engel, and the driver all said Hutchinson had lied under oath.

  • The Bluebird of Bitterness – aka, Bob, aka, my best researcher – sent me this link @ https://scifiwright.com/2024/02/hoax-list/. It’s just a long list of the Breitbart links that I am explicating and illustrating for you, bit by bit. I included some additional links, but most of what I’ve used is from asking Grok for a rundown on each of the hoaxes.
