BARRON TRUMP: Well, this was fun! Barron Trump “liked” my comment! 🙂 If you’re not familiar with the Sydney Sweeney thing, click the link below.

DOGE: Over the last 5 days, agencies terminated 122 wasteful contracts saving We the Taxpayers another $388 million. One of the contracts was $1.17 million for a “merit review experience study” for the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The NSF uses a “merit review” to decide which greedy hands get what piece of the taxpayer money pie. A “merit review experience” would refer to how the owners of said greedy hands felt about the merit review system. E.g., were the guidelines easy to follow, was the process fair and transparent.

The NSF, for reasons that escape me, decided it was a good idea to blow $1.17 million of that taxpayer money pie to hire an outside contractor to survey said merit review experiences and suggest possible revisions to the merit review process. Our health care provider does the same thing by emailing us a “Let us know how we’re doing” survey after every visit.

HAPPINESS: A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it out into the room. The teacher then mixed all the balloons and gave the students 5 minutes to find their own balloons. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.

At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon. The teacher said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people’s happiness, we’ll find ours too.”

KAMALA: CLICK https://x.com/WesleyHuntTX/status/1951282525193547822 to hear Harris blame her decision not to run for governor of California on a “broken system.” The system to which she refers is the corruptocracy funded by billionaires like George Soros who want to establish medieval feudalism on a global scale … with them in charge of all the wealth and power, of course. In the Middle Ages, feudal lords were absolute rulers of their fiefdoms. They owned the land, made the laws, and commanded the military. The majority who did the work and paid the taxes were not allowed to own weapons or move elsewhere. Any of that sound familiar?

ORDINARY HEROES: In June 2022, Hailey Ann Smith was on her way home from playing her harp at a wedding when a car accident blocked traffic on Interstate 85 in Atlanta. She posted on her Facebook page “I got the harp out and parked myself in the very middle of the Interstate and played a few songs for everybody! What you can’t see is the ppl that gathered around to video and enjoy the music and the trucker that drove past me when we were all moving again and yelled “You were awesome!” There are clips someone recorded of her playing at the Facebook link below. 🙂

GRAMMY NOTES: My 12-years-older brother and his pals were playing darts. One of the pals stuck his hand out and covered the board. He crowed, “Now you can’t win!” My brother put his dart through the dope’s palm. This may be why I don’t recall there ever being a dart board in our house.

The White House Ballroom

Construction is due to start next month on a new 90,000-square-foot White House State Ballroom to host major functions, eliminating the need for temporary tents on the South Lawn. The ballroom will have a seated capacity of 650 people, significantly larger than the largest current event space, the East Room, which has a 200-person capacity. CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1951393572894191707 to hear Trump say he’ll pay for the whole thing himself if private donors don’t contribute. Estimated cost is $200 million.

The last time a president oversaw a major renovation to the White House was the Truman Reconstruction (1948 to 1952). The White House, originally built in 1800 and rebuilt after the War of 1812, was in dire need of renovation. The interior wooden beams and floors were sagging and at risk of collapse and the plumbing, electricity, and heating systems were antiquated, posing fire hazards and inefficiencies.

With congressional approval, Truman initiated a comprehensive reconstruction to both preserve and modernize the White House. The interiors were gutted down to the foundation so a new steel and concrete framework was installed to replace the weakened wooden structure, ensuring long-term stability. Moldings, fireplaces, and paneling were carefully removed beforehand and reinstalled after to preserve the White House’s historical character.

A deeper, stronger foundation was dug to support the building and a two-story basement was added, including a bomb shelter (in response to Cold War nuclear fears) and mechanical rooms. New electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems were installed to meet modern standards. The Grand Staircase was rebuilt, and new elevators were installed for accessibility.

Truman added a balcony on the second floor of the South Portico, providing a private outdoor space for the First Family. This was controversial at the time, as critics argued it altered the White House’s iconic facade, but it’s now a beloved feature. The same thing happened in Paris when the Eiffel Tower was built. So, while I saw a lot of griping on X about Trump’s ballroom, I’m sure that one day it will be a cherished and praised feature of the White House.

The new ballroom will maintain the same neoclassical architectural style and will be located in part where the East Wing currently stands. The East Wing, built in 1902 and expanded in 1942, currently houses offices for the First Lady, the White House Military Office, and visitor offices, all of which will be temporarily relocated during construction. It isn’t clear where those functions will be moved to after construction is finished. Part of the ballroom will jut onto the South Lawn, connected via the East Colonnade, with a Palladian facade and columns on its eastern wall.

Russian Collusion Hoax Update

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recently got the 29-page appendix to John Durham’s May 2023 Special Counsel report declassified and released. The document contains evidence showing that then-Obama’s Secretary of State and Democrat presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, signed off on the plan to smear then-Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, with false claims of Russian collusion. This plan was inspired, in part, to distract voters from Clinton’s mounting email scandal.

The screenshot above is from page 11 of the Durham Annex. Leonard Benardo was Open Society Foundations’ regional director for Eurasia. Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is an American grant-making network founded by billionaire George Soros and now run by his son Alex. Both Soros men have very close ties to Democrat leaders.

Open Society Foundations and the Soros billions are well known for supporting far-left political causes like Black Lives Matter and the Defund the Police movements that the Democrats have embraced. They Soros men are also known to have poured $40 million into the campaign coffers of 75 far-left Democrats who are now District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute criminals for political reasons. Back in February, a journalist testified before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) that his research revealed that Soros had funneled tens of millions of dollars to left-wing causes via donations from Open Society Foundations to the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.

Alex Soros, the current Chairman of the Board of Open Society Foundations, recently married Huma Abedin. Abedin’s first husband was the now-former congressman, Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner, whose political career failed spectacularly as a result of his multiple “sexting with other women while married” and “sexting with minors” scandals (2011, 2013, 2016).

Huma Abedin has long been bffs with Hillary Clinton. During Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, Abedin served as Clinton’s assistant and travelling chief of staff. From 2009 to 2013, Abedin served as deputy chief of staff while Clinton was Obama’s Secretary of State. She then took over as vice chair of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, the same year she finally gave up on “Carlos Danger” and announced her intention to file for divorce and sue for full custody of their son.

The swanky wedding of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros was held on June 14, 2025, at the Soros estate in the Hamptons. It was attended by a host of prominent Democrats, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Nancy Pelosi.

The unveiling of the Democrats’ Russian Collusion Hoax is far from over. FBI Director Kash Patel announced this week that they had found multiple burn bags filled with thousands of incriminating documents. I heard one pundit speculate that the person tasked with burning the stuff knew it was evidence and didn’t want to be a party to it. Patel said when he arrived to take over at the FBI, many staff members and agents quietly expressed their gratitude that the crooks were gone, so it seems likely to me that the person who hid the bags tipped off the new regime about them.

DAILY PRAYER: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our deaths. Amen.

107 DAYS: I searched “107 days” at Amazon and learned I could blow $30 pre-ordering Harris’ book about how she was handed a vote-free presidential nomination and more than a billion dollars in campaign cash only to become the second woman to lose to the host of The Apprentice. Or I could save $16 and get a novel about a crazed scientist, a deadly virus, and a desperate race against time. Hmmmm …

DRUG PRICES: President Trump has given Big Pharma until Sept. 29, 2025, to give Americans the same low prices they give other nations. “If you REFUSE to step up, we’ll deploy every tool to protect American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices.” Democrats will now begin advocating for high drug prices, because Hitler.

EVs: [4:35] – Electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries, which pose a unique fire hazard in that they burn hotter than conventional fires, produce toxic gases and can reignite days or weeks later. Some German cities have banned EVs from underground parking and a Norwegian ferry operator has prohibited them. Following the catastrophic loss of their cargo ship (video), Matson has announced that, effective immediately, it will no longer transport battery-powered electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

HYPOCRATS: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1950627275625693625 [1:05] to hear Fauxcahontas speak with forked tongue.

JUDICIARY: On July 20, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring the Mississippi state government from enacting several provisions in a bill aimed at eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The order listed eleven imaginary plaintiffs and two imaginary defendants, cited allegations that were not made by the plaintiffs, quoted phrases from the DEI law that were not in the law, and attributed declarations in the complaint to the wrong people.

One critic of the sloppy TRO said, “I feel like I’m Alice in Wonderland.”

SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL: Aka, Semi-Q, this ungainly name means “250th anniversary.” – Trump says he has big plans for celebrating next year. One of these is a full set of new designs for our circulating coins. The designs will reflect our country’s founding principles and honoring our nation’s history. It’s going to be a fun year for numismatists!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You for all those trying times You allowed, so we could learn to truly trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: Old Orchard Beach Police Department in Maine hired Jon Luke Evans and swore him in as a law enforcement officer. Cumberland County Jail, also in Maine, hired Gratien Milandou Wamba to work as a corrections officer. Both men passed whatever background checks the LEOs of Maine felt were sufficient. Later, both men attempted to buy a firearm. Apparently, ATF does a better job with background checks, because neither man was here legally. ICE picked up Wamba in April; they arrested Evans this week.

ECONOMY: Economists predicted 2.4% growth for April to June. The real numbers are in. Our GDP grew by 3%. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total value of all goods and services produced in the national economy.

HOW TO LIBERAL: Be afraid! Always imagine the worst!

KAMALA: “In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor,” Harris said. “I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election.”

PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH: Now six months into his second term, Trump has averaged one peace deal or ceasefire per month. Most recently, he brokered a Thailand-Cambodia agreement.

SPACE SHUTTLE: NASA operated the space shuttle program between 1981 and 2011. The shuttle crafts were designed for spaceflight, followed by a gliding landing. Because the shuttle program worked on a tight schedule, they were flown to where they were needed atop modified Boeing 747s.

TIME TRAVEL: Out in the Bering Strait, between Russia and Alaska, lie two islands just 2.4 miles apart. In between them is the International Date Line. Big Diomede, owned by Russia, is known as “Tomorrow Island” because it’s nearly a full day ahead of the other, Little Diomede, owned by Alaska and, obviously nicknamed “Yesterday Island.” It’s one of the only places in the world where you can see the “future” or look into the “past.” Little Diomede is the spot Sarah Palin was referring to when she said you can see Russia from Alaska.

Perspective

I just saw a string of tweets complaining about the high cost to taxpayers for Trump to fly to Scotland to cut a ribbon on his new golf course there. Dan Bongino noted that the complainer failed to mention that Trump also signed a trade deal worth $1.2 Trillion, making the trip a hugely profitable investment for We the Taxpayers

They are saying it cost us $10 Million for his travel and security. Here’s the run down, according to Grok, for what is required for a presidential residence. Keep in mind that the White House, Camp David, and the POTUS’ personal homes are routinely outfitted for the duration of their terms in office. Most presidential families, including the Bidens, routinely vacationed at their own homes. Trump primarily vacations at Mar-a-Lago, where Melania lives when she is not needed for First Lady duties.

Grok provided the following run down of what has to be done whenever and wherever POTUS is residing.

  1. Road closures, checkpoints, and restricted airspace. If the location is near water, there may be Coast Guard patrols offshore and Navy SEALs stationed nearby.
  2. Windows are replaced with bulletproof and blast-resistant glass. Doors and walls may be reinforced with steel or concrete to withstand explosions.
  3. Entry points are equipped with metal detectors, biometric scanners, keycard systems, PIN pads, and ID checks.
  4. CCTV cameras, infrared sensors, and drones monitor the grounds.
  5. Counter-sniper teams and anti-aircraft defenses (e.g., Stinger missile systems) are deployed.
  6. Electronic countermeasures to block unauthorized communications or drone signals.
  7. Safe Rooms: The White House has a secure bunker, the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC). Temporary residences may have designated safe rooms retrofitted with reinforced doors and emergency supplies.
  8. Secret Service details operate 24/7, with agents stationed inside and outside the residence. The White House has a Secret Service command post, while vacation homes require advance teams to secure properties weeks in advance.
  9. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams from the military support the Secret Service, sweeping for bombs or hazardous materials.
  10. Encrypted phone lines, video conferencing, and real-time data feeds for global monitoring; communications connections to the Pentagon, CIA, and other agencies via secure networks; secure routers and signal jammers to prevent hacking; backup systems for everything.
  11. The “football” (the nuclear launch codes briefcase) must be nearby.
  12. Secret Service, presidential staff, and press all have to be housed and equipped with space and equipment to do their jobs.
  13. The Secret Service must work with local police, fire departments, and hospitals to establish emergency protocols for every trip away from the White House. In Hawaii, local police overtime cost $250,000 per trip, with ambulances on standby ($10,000).
  14. Transportation to, from, and at the destination. These include not only Marine One and Air Force One, but also all ancillary transportation required to transport people and equipment. In particular, the reinforced vehicles used in presidential motorcades are transported on Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft, such as the Grumman C-2. Secret Service recently created a reinforced golf cart for Trump that has been dubbed Golf Force One. It too has to be transported.

The Obamas vacationed annually in Hawaii for Christmas, often staying 2–3 weeks in pricey rental properties. For summer vacations, the Obamas preferred Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where they again staying in rented homes. The estimated costs for each of these trips was about the same $10 Million the complainers are squawking about for Trump’s visit to Scotland.

For winter breaks, the Obamas liked Aspen, Colorado, costing an estimated at $500,000–$1 million per trip, including security. And a couple of times they went to Palm Springs, California (2013, 2014) for golf and relaxation. More million$.

In August 2009, the Obama family went hiking and rafting in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, and Grand Canyon, Arizona. They said it was to promote conservation. In July 2010, they went to Bar Harbor, Maine, where they hiked in Acadia National Park and enjoyed local lobster dinners. Maybe that was to promote tourism?

Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to become truly holy. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

1A: On Monday, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent guidance to federal agencies across the Trump administration, requiring federal workers be free to display Bibles, crucifixes, or mezuzahs on their desks; pray in groups while off-duty; invite colleagues to church; and speak about their religious beliefs, even to the public, without fear of reprisal.

EDPs: “Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to trust that You always answer our prayers in the best way possible. It’s easy for us to rejoice when You say yes right away; we need Your help to rejoice when Your answer is not yet or not ever. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIBLE STUDY: This passage is offensive to modern ears. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lWgOTPLdoOo to hear a preacher resolve the issue, by explaining its historical context.

BORDER: On June 26, 2025, the House voted 246 to 160 to pass a measure to mandate the deportation of undocumented immigrants convicted of or admitting to drunk driving and to prohibit their reentry into the United States. Only 37 Democrats voted yes; the 160 who voted no said the measure lacked evidence linking immigration status to drunk driving and did not address broader immigration issues. The bill still requires Senate approval and President Trump’s signature to become law.

S&G: An mtf trannie who slathered himself with estrogen cream may have seriously harmed his toddler daughter by having daily, skin-to-skin contact with her. When he realized she was entering puberty … at age THREE … he switched to an estrogen patch. Nobody knows what long-term damage the kid may have suffered, because her daddy thinks he is her mommy.

TRUMP: On July 26, 2025, President Trump posted the following to Truth Social – “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Our theory is that the pyramid is actually a 3D shape, like a three legged stool. One leg is the husband, one is the wife, and the third is the marriage. The needs and wants of each must be kept in balance with God sitting on the stool. Most of the time, my Dearest and I have been able to concede or compromise, but on a few occasions, we just couldn’t. For these times, we chose a neutral third party we trusted to hear our two sides and cast a vote on behalf of the marriage. We agreed ahead of time to graciously accept the outcome. It saved us a world of trouble. Our 46th anniversary is in less than 3 months.

AGRICULTURE: The Trump administration is embarking on a massive reorganization designed to move employees closer to the communities they serve. AgSec Rollins says they plan to cut D.C.-area staff from about 4,600 to fewer than 2,000 employees.

AOC: The House Committee on Ethics has determined that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez improperly accepted free admission to the 2021 Met Gala for her partner and failed to pay full fair market value for some of the items she wore at the event. Her staff also delayed cutting the under-value checks to vendors (like the dress designer) until after the Ethics Committee initiated its investigation.

CATHOLIC: Survivors reported them leading prayers, reciting the Rosary, hearing confessions, and giving absolution as the ship sank.

DOGE: This past week, agencies terminated 141 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $498 million. These included a $526,000 USAID professional services contract for a “global health security advisor in Senegal” and a $1.4 million HHS contract for “professional services in Rwanda.”

DUMBOCRATS: On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) posted the food prices graph on the left, labeling it, “Trump’s America.” The fact is that, under Biden, food prices rose by more than 22%; under Trump, food prices have increased by about 0.6%. So the White House modified the graph as seen on the right above. The Dumbs deleted their post.

MEDIA: Trump’s physician, Captain Sean P. Barbarella, examined his mild leg swelling, performing venous Doppler ultrasounds that revealed chronic venous insufficiency. His report called this “a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” POTUS is 79.

In short, he had no blood clots, no arterial disease, no heart failure — just a minor issue that’s easy to manage. Approximately 1 in 20 adults experience it, especially those over 50. While it can become painful and disabling if ignored, it is easily managed with simple things like wearing compression stockings or elevating the legs. Yeah, kinda like what a lot of pregnant ladies have to do when they get it. ::coughcough::

CNN trotted out Dr. Chris Pernell as their “medical expert” to comment on President Donald Trump’s diagnosis. She stated that chronic venous insufficiency “is a disease that is progressive. And what that means is that if there aren’t conservative treatments, elevation, compression, medication, if needed, to treat accompanying ulcers or skin changes, it can worsen and actually put a person at risk for deep venous thrombosis.”

Ooh, scary. Also beside the point, since POTUS is obviously getting the best care possible. I mean, the man doesn’t even drink wine. Does anyone think he won’t wear the stupid stockings or prop his feet up? Sheesh.

The other problem with CNN’s report is that, while Dr. Pernell does have an M.D., she apparently has not practiced medicine since completing her training.
