AI: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1311582794300127 to see a heartwarming video of an elephant gently lifting a child out of its enclosure and delivering it to its parents. The video looked too polished to be real, so I asked Grok to look for credible reports to verify the incident. It didn’t find any and noted that “elephants, while intelligent, are wild animals and typically react to intruders with defensive behaviors, not careful rescues. Given the polished nature of this video and the lack of credible reports to verify the incident ever happened, it’s likely this is a fabricated video created for viral attention.”

AMAZING GRACE: [3:39] – The octobass is a bowed instrument that typically plays one octave below the double bass. Because of the extreme fingerboard length and string thickness, the musician uses a system of levers and pedals to clamp the strings at the right spots. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra is the only ensemble regularly using them in performances.

CLINTON: [1:03] – On July 23, DNI Gabbard released a recently declassified House Intelligence Committee report dated Sept. 18, 2020.

It reveals that Democrats covered up the fact that, during her 2016 presidential campaign, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was suffering from a mix of “intensified psycho-emotional problems” and was on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers.”

It also reveals that the Russians knew about her health problems, but did not publicize the information. Obviously, if they had truly been working to get Trump elected, they would not have kept such damaging information to themselves.

DESPERATION: “The effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency—before he even took office—was not about protecting democracy. It was about protecting the machine.

“From George H.W. Bush to Barack Obama, the same interconnected network of intelligence operatives, political dynasties, and global financial interests built and maintained a shadow system of power. Trump threatened to bring it all into the light. … “

CATHOLIC: Although Batman’s religious affiliation is not defined, several Batman authors and stories have contained Catholic elements and his mother, Martha Wayne, is often portrayed as having been Catholic.

EPSTEIN: CLICK https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1948391900601254321 [:38] to hear Scott Jennings respond to an idiotic question on CNN. “Why doesn’t he just own up to it?” Oh puh-leeze! How about Obama or Clinton or Bush or Fauci any of the other people who have lied to us “just own up to it”?!

LAPDOG MEDIA: On July 18, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard laid out evidence that, after Trump was elected in November of 2016, then-President Obama, along with the former directors of the CIA, FBI, and National Intelligence, fabricated the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax to undermine the Trump presidency.

CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1948084343026725072 [:43] to hear CNN cut away from Gabbard’s remarks to scoff at her “attempt to back up the quite extreme allegation.” Best comment: “CNN is like Hitler screaming, ‘Shut it off!! Shut it off!!’ when being told about the failures of his eastern and western campaigns.”

ORGAN DONATION: HHS Secretary Kennedy has announced the results of a study that showed organs have been harvested from patients who showed signs of life. “The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”

WILDLIFE: I saw this photo of a least weasel clinging to a European green woodpecker in flight on Facebook and had it verified by Grok. It was taken in 2015 by an amateur photographer in East London. Digital experts found no evidence of photo manipulation, while wildlife experts confirmed the plausibility of the event. It seems green woodpeckers forage on the ground, making them vulnerable to weasel attacks, while weasels are known to target prey larger than themselves. This woodpecker reportedly escaped after the photo was taken.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced that they have an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump to bar men from women’s sports.

We thought she was fine, but when she got old enough to start having tummy time, I noticed she wouldn’t raise her head the way her older sister had. I took her to our chiropractor, who adjusted her neck, which had apparently gotten jammed during delivery. After that, she raised her head. I am so very grateful for the chiropractors who have helped keep me and my family healthier and more active than they could have been with just allopathic care.

Dear Mom

I got this in my email today. “Army Princess” gave me permission to share it, so long as I removed the names. I hope it gives you a fraction of the joy it gave me! ❤

Dear Mom,

Hello! I have a question/favor to ask. I’m working on a case study/proposal for one of my classes to show how an existing non-profit operating in Kosovo could add a Life Center to their portfolio – why they should, how it could happen.

For my final I’m working on a presentation. I’m thinking about opening the presentation by humanizing the issue. Kosovo doesn’t have any life centers in the country and the number one client for abortion tend to be young mothers who already have 1-2 children, and are struggling financially. Kosovo has the highest rate of unemployment in Europe and the lowest GDP. Culturally pregnancy issues are not spoken of. Only healthy pregnancies that happen within a marriage are acceptable to discuss. There are approximately 10 Life centers in all of the Balkans providing counseling to women in scary pregnancy situations.

This encompasses unplanned pregnancies, post-abortion trauma, miscarriages, and infertility grief. It seems these centers are one of the only places women in the Balkans know they can really go and talk to someone about their fear. Unless they seek out an abortion facility – also quiet and not discussed. My current thought to open and close with – is to show how important it is to have someone to talk to about your fears, and someone to help you through the hard times and know that there is someone there who will listen, take your concerns seriously and help you find solutions.

Doing the research made me think of you and Daddy when you found out you were pregnant with [our baby sister]. If you’re comfortable with it, I was thinking about showing a family photo of the four of us before she was born and introducing the family and stating two small children, financial concerns and then added to that – the health concern. Highlighting how important it was that you had people to support you, to pray for you, and to help you through. And then show a photo of her in her Marine uniform and mother of four. That the support you received when you were pregnant, didn’t just result in a baby. It resulted in a life that impacted many, a life that supported the future of the country and a life that continues to add goodness and hope into the world.

That’s my idea. But I realize it is really personal and while it is anonymous – I wouldn’t want to do that without your permission. If you’re okay with it, could you send me some photos from that year? Love you! And thank you for raising us with such great awareness on Life.

“Army Princess”

PHOTOS:

  1. May 1985 – Army Princess, me, Dearest when he (finally) finished his B.Arch. degree. I am extremely hypersensitive to progesterone, which is 8x higher during pregnancy; I am also Rh-sensitized, so my first two were Rh babies. We were not supposed to have another child, but God had other ideas. When we found out I was pregnant, Dearest had just embarked on his third try at finishing his degree; he was working full time and his very generous boss had not only granted him time to go to classes, but had paid half the tuition! For months of the pregnancy, I was in a tremendous amount of pain and wasn’t able to walk further than the bathroom. Our two little ones (born November 1981 and October 1983) were in full time day care until Daddy got home from work, then he had to do all the household and child care everything while trying to finish his degree.
  2. June 1985 – #3 hit the danger zone for Rh disease at around 22 or 24 weeks, so I had to have 7 amnios. The irritation in my uterus caused premature labor; the drug I had to take made me sicker. We had to take C-section classes, because they were certain I’d never be able to deliver naturally, but I’m also allergic to narcotics, so post-operative pain was a big concern.
  3. August 1985 – God be praised and chalk it up to a whole lot of help from relatives, friends, and loving strangers … our bills got paid, Daddy got his degree, Mommy survived, and baby thrived. She went full term, was born without surgery, and was healthier afterward than her previous sibling had been … which just does not happen with Rh disease! Our doctor said, “You can call it a ‘miracle’ if you want to. I sure can’t explain it.”
  4. September 1985 – (l to r) Army Princess, Mama Buzz, and Dearest at the picnic we had after #3’s Baptism.

BACK THE BLUE: [6:49] – The body cam footage above was released after the driver circulated his own “share and tage” video claiming he was stopped and punched for Driving While Black. The caption on his video claimed he was beaten so badly that he needed 9 stitches and suffered a concussion with short term memory loss. The cop’s full footage shows he persistently refused to obey a lawful order and, at worst, got slapped a few times while resisting arrest. I also notice his post doesn’t mention his seat belt, which was off until after his buddy started filming. The officers were cleared of criminal charges, but one was suspended pending an internal review. I’m guessing it’s the one who reached into the car and smacked the kid. Yes, he was being an ass. But cops are supposed to be able to stay calm regardless.

BOOTYJUDGE: Biden’s Proud Gay Dad and (sometimes) Transportation Secretary told flight industry executives that he wasn’t interested in upgrading air traffic control, because doing so would just allow them to fly more planes. Instead, he shoveled at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year into DEI grants for a total of more than $80 billion over four years.

LIFE: Two gay “married” men hired Brittney Pearson to create their “dream family” via surrogate birth. While pregnant, Brittney received a breast cancer diagnosis and decided to deliver the baby so she could receive chemo. But the purchasing couple didn’t want a preemie who might have health problems and the live-born baby be “immediately terminated.”

When Brittney refused to kill the baby, they threatened legal action. When she offered to adopt the child, they demanded a death certificate. Surrogacy laws in California gave no rights to Brittney or the baby, who died shortly after birth. Brittney has described her experience as a surrogate as feeling like “a rented-out uterus.”

Because that is exactly what she was.

CELEBRITIES: Never, ever forget that actors get paid to recite words that were written by other people. Some of them are intelligent. Some of them are dumber than a box of rocks.

ICELAND: This lighthouse sits on top of a 120′ tall sea stack 4.5 miles off the coast of the Westman Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Built in 1939, materials were transported by fishing boats to the base of the stack and then hauled up by hand, often under dangerous conditions with high waves, rain, and wind. Master climbers used drills, hammers, chains, and clamps to secure a path up the rock. Near the top, where the rock face protruded outward, they reportedly formed a human pyramid—one climber kneeling, another standing on his back, and a third climbing atop to reach the cliff’s edge. The crew camped on the rock ledge in tents for extended periods to complete the work. A helipad for helicopter access was added in the 1950s. The facility was converted to solar power in 1993.

MEDIA: On June 18, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing into whether former President Joe Biden was actually in charge, given his clear mental decline. A focal point of the investigation was the concern that the autopen was being used for executive orders and pardons without Biden’s knowledge.

The only reporting of the topic by the lapdog media was a July 13 New York Times story that prompted a 34-second mention by NBC.

RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1947298350878913006 [:36] to hear then Senator Kamala hinting to Stephen Colbert that she had seen evidence of Trump colluding with Russia.

SO MUCH WINNING: After the Justice Department sent more than 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics involved in performing transgender medical procedures on minors, Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., announced that it will no longer provide gender transition-related medical interventions.

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS: I knew the story before I watched the video, but it still has me tearing up. [9:40] – In 1980, three 19-year-old boys discovered they were identical triplets. Their separation had been orchestrated as part of a secret psychological study led by Dr. Peter Neubauer to explore the age-old “nature versus nurture” question by placing each boy in a home of different socioeconomic status working-class, middle-class, and upper-middle-class and observing their development. The study also involved at least eight sets of twins. The adoptive families – who were not told that their kids had identical siblings or that they were participating in a study – were monitored through evaluations under the guise of routine adoption follow-ups. The findings of the study were never published, and the original records are sealed until 2065 … by which time everyone involved will be dead.

TRANS: On July 4 in downtown Portland, a hulking, heavyset person in fuchsia hot pants went on a violent rampage, punching and attacking people with a knife and stick. One victim was a minor. The attacker was so violent and out of control that a team of police officers had to use sedation to make the arrest.

The five feet ten inches tall, 260-pound “female” was booked into jail by Portland Police as an unidentified “Jane Doe.” His true identity is Trever Eugene Osterhout (42). The man, who goes “Trish Elizabeth Osterhout” is a transgender Antifa member (“Trantifa”), satanist, and LGBTQ+ activist with a history of domestic violence.

TRUMP’S PHOTOGRAPHER: [13:02] – This guy has been photographing POTUS since Reagan was in office. He’s got interesting things to say about Trump.

GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-Ak1lqUtoSI if you enjoy quilting. Scrappy is my favorite thing! Right now, I’ve got two scrappy quilts in progress and two that are partly scrappy. The picture above is one patch in one of the partly category. The centers of each 6.5” block are 16-patch 4” squares made from 1.5” scraps. The not-scrappy part is the white border. I’m having so much fun embellishing each block. My most favorite part about scrappy quilting is that I have no idea how the finished project will look. Designing is the part that really excites me. When I do a project that is completely planned ahead of time, I get bored part way through and can’t finish it.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, When we are tempted to disappoint You, please remind us that every sacrifice, however how small, is a kick in the butt to the enemy. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DOGE: Federal agencies recently terminated 80 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $436 million. That’s almost half a billion dollar$ … in three days. One of the canceled contracts was for “planning an environment workshop and round-table discussion” for the Department of Transportation … for $265,000. THAT’s more than a quarter of a million dollar$.

JOBS: Even better, the numbers in the graph above are from before the Supreme Court’s July 8 decision freeing Trump to execute the layoffs he wants. Remember when Biden’s “good” job numbers were made up of mostly illegals and government workers?

  1. 2016 – 2020 (Trump administration): The federal civilian workforce* averaged 2.18 million.
  2. 2021–2023 (Biden administration): The federal civilian workforce* grew to 3 million, the highest since 1994, when the Democrats had the trifecta (Democrat president, plus Democrat majorities in both House and Senate).

LEFTIE LOONIES: [1:05] – On July 12, 2025, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz toured Alligator Alcatraz, then made an angry speech about the “appalling” conditions. “These detainees are essentially packed into cages, wall-to-wall humans. 32 detainees per cage. That is the only thing inside those cages are their bunk beds and there are three tiny toilets that are toilet units that have a sink attached to it. They get their drinking water and they brush their teeth where they poop in the same unit.”

Oh, cry me a river, Debbie! Most of us brush our teeth where we poop. It’s called a bathroom.

“Packed into cages.” At least these detainees are given a partial wall between the bunk and hygiene areas. Standard federal prison cells (aka, “cages”) are typically 6′ x 8′ or 7′ x 12′ feet. They house two prisoners who have a set of bunk beds and, in the same small space is a one-piece, stainless steel toilet-sink combo with no privacy barrier.

As for 32 people in one big bunk room … Marine Corps boot camp barracks typically house 40 to 80 recruits in a big bunk room with an attached hygiene area where sinks, showers, and toilets also have no privacy barriers.

LIFE: The UK government recently extended two weeks paid bereavement leave to women who lose a child to miscarriage before 24 weeks gestation. The UK government also recently extended the right of women to terminate their own pregnancies at any time up to birth.

PARENTING: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZbAQ7JrOoYM to see how one dad handled the dreaded “no more pacifiers” day. My kids had food allergies, so they couldn’t eat candy. I tried to find fun alternatives to Trick or Treating, but they always ended up with treats they couldn’t eat. I felt terrible about just tossing out the treats people gave, so one year, I took them to a local store that had picture books. The clerk was in on the scheme and cheerfully let them “buy” one book each with their candy.

RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1946786201228165463 [5:19] to hear what Obama told the press on December 16, 2016, just eight days after Obama received the report that Russia had no effect on the outcome of the election.

WNBA: The WNBA historically loses $10-15 million annually, money that is replaced by the NBA and private investors. In reality, these women should be paying for the privilege of playing.

GRAMMY NOTES: We dug a 12′ circle in our yard and filled it with play sand. I’ve raked it when I’ve needed a few minutes of zen time. We’ve built campfires in the middle for s’mores. The kids, and now their kids, have played in it. But it’s the local wildlife that uses it the most. My favorite time was when two mama turkeys brought their combined broods to our yard. While one supervised searching for grubs, worms, and such in the never-sprayed lawn, the other taught the babes, one by one, how to properly clean feathers with sand.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless this great nation that was founded in Your Son’s name! Grant the righteous the means and the methods to expose those who damaged her so deeply and to bring them to justice. Restore our great institutions and the faith of our citizens in them and in You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

2A: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B6o36cu2Rc4 to hear Charlie Kirk talk to some students about abolishing the Second Amendment. I listened to an interview with a gangbanger who said it wouldn’t matter if you took away all their guns. “Cuz we’re crazy. We’ll kill each other any way. We’ll use knives, chains, bats, whatever we can find. It’s not about the guns.”

CATHOLIC: [3:05] – The incident was formally recognized as a miracle in a document signed by Pope Leo XIV on June 20, 2025. In the same decree, the Pope opened the process of beatification for Father Valera Parra, who was born in the village of Huércal-Overa, Spain, in 1816, and dedicated his priesthood to caring for the sick and poor.

GUN DEATHS: The following is Grok’s synthesis of available data for U.S. gun-related deaths for 2023.

Total: 46,728.

Causes:

  • Suicides = 27,300 (~58%);
  • Homicides= 17,927 ~38%);
  • Law enforcement-involved: 604 (~1%);
  • Accidental deaths: 463 (~1%);
  • Undetermined circumstances: 434 (~1%).

Historical guesstimates for what percentage of homicides are gang-related are around 10-15% which, for 2023, would be roughly 1,800-2,700 gang-related deaths.

HYPOCRITES: House Democrats – Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.), and Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) – flew to San Salvador in April to “pressure the Trump Administration” for the release of Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member. Three of them said they had personally footed the bill for their travel costs. Their Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show they all used campaign money.

ILLINOIS: Last April, Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez (52), a Mexican living illegally in Waukegan, Illinois, was arrested and charged with concealing and abusing the corpse of Megan Bos (37), after police found her decapitated body stored in a bleach-filled garbage can in his yard. Immediately after the perp’s first court appearance, Lake County Judge Randie Bruno released him from custody! Thankfully, ICE picked him on Saturday afternoon and are keeping him in ICE custody.

WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT: On October 4, 2021, Biden’s AG, Merrick Garland, sent out a memo labeling as “domestic terrorists” those parents who were speaking out at school board meetings. America First Legal has obtained documents that conclusively prove this was part of the Biden White House’s political weaponization of government.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please help us to make kindness our default position, except when to do so would violate Your Truths. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CATHOLIC: This is a beautiful talk. [20:09] – I am hypersensitive to perfume and, before I became too affected to attend Mass at all, I would stay in the cry room. One Sunday in the late 1980s, I went to the cry room as usual, but found it filled with youthful confirmands, all dressed up and smelling much too good. My little girl and I retreated to an adjacent, empty room, only to have Bishop Matthew Clark (Rochester, NY diocese) come in with his assistants to vest. I explained why we were there and tried to leave, but he said no, we should stay. Before he vested, he got down on his knees and had a sweet interchange with my daughter.

CHRISTIAN CULTURE: Recently, there has been controversy surrounding Chip and Joanna Gaines who decided to feature a same-sex couple on their Back to the Frontier reality show. The Gaines couple have been public about their Christian faith and, in the past, have been associated with the Antioch Community Church, which holds traditional views on marriage.

I don’t actually care about the issue, but I was intrigued by Allie Beth Stuckey’s comment about CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xUT4wcpDJVA. “You can believe that you have found a way to out-compassion God.” Whoa … what an excellent way to think about this! As for assuming that money and/or fame are God’s rewards, it was Satan who offered all that stuff to Jesus. Jesus promised His followers the cross.

FOUND on the GUADALUPE RIVER: A Texas woman founded a Facebook group where Texans can share photos of objects and pets lost in the flood or found after. I looked at a few pages and the tears were running down my cheeks.

HYPOCRITES: Democrats trying to benefit from MAGA-ites who are pissed about the Epstein files have been asked why they didn’t demand the files be released while Biden was in office. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (left) said she was too busy with other things. Rep. Jamie Raskin (right) said he doesn’t know.

MEDIA SHILLS: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1946020435037925585 [:51] to see another example of the hyper-politicized, unfunny propaganda that CBS paid Colbert $15 million a year to produce.

NEW YUCK CITY: CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1945858127577940297 [:36] to hear Zohran Mamdani defend the abolition of private property. He is New York City’s leading (i.e., Democrat) mayoral candidate, which is a very scary thought. House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, has reportedly met with Mamdani … and has continued to not endorse him.

PRISONER EXCHANGE: All ten Americans who have been held in Venezuela have been swapped for the return of more than 250 Venezuelan men (mostly Tren de Aragua members) whom we deported to El Salvadoran prisons.

Among those released was Wilbert Castañeda, a former U.S. Navy SEAL. His brother, Christian, said in a statement to The Epoch Times: “We have prayed for this day for almost a year. My brother is an innocent man who was used as a political pawn by the Maduro regime. We knew that President Trump would not leave a decorated SEAL behind.”

RUSSIA HOAX: “A treasonous conspiracy” [7:40] – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” that then-President Barack Obama and his national security team didn’t like the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia had no ability or desire to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. At Obama’s direction, they suppressed publication of this assessment and manufactured fake evidence aimed at destroying Donald Trump and his administration.

GRAMMY NOTES: True. I was born this way. My first grade teacher remarked once that I was a “lone wolf.”

Bits & Bytes

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for granting us the privilege of praying for those who persecute us. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

COLBERT CANCELED: The same night Colbert announced the cancellation, his lead guest was Sen. Adam Schiff [D-CA]. Right after the show, Schiff tweeted, “Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

Political? Adam, baby, CBS’s decision was all about the money, honey. Here are the facts. CBS has to pay Trump $16 million for fraudulently trying (and failing) to make Kamala look like less of a doofus. CBS has been paying Colbert about $15 million per year, which he was worth as long as his left-wing political shtick was bringing in the viewers. But now Fox News is getting better ratings while paying Greg Gutfeld half as much for not only doing his right-wing comedy shtick on their late night show, but also providing his political commentary on Fox at Five.

2025 second quarter viewer averages for late night comedy shows:

  1. Fox News’ Gutfeld = 3.29 million (238,000 in 18-49)
  2. CBS’ Late Night with Stephen Colbert = 2.42 million (220,000 in 18-49)
  3. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! = 1.77 million (219,000 in 18-49)
  4. NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon = 1.19 million(157,000 in 18-49)

ABC pays Jimmy Kimmel $15 million per year, while NBC pays Jimmy Fallon $16 million. I wonder how long before those two also get their pink slips …

EVERYDAY HEROES: On a Virgin Atlantic flight from New York to London, an 88-year-old retired nurse named Violet was quietly chatting with a young man named Jack at the boarding gate. She told him she had spent her life caring for others and had always dreamed of flying first class, just once.

Jack nodded, smiled, and said little. But before boarding, he quietly approached the crew and asked if he could trade his first-class seat for Violet’s economy seat. He wanted no credit or attention, so while Violet leaned back in a plush seat, sipping champagne at 35,000 feet, Jack sat in economy.

It wasn’t until the end of the flight that Violet learned what had happened. She was stunned. “I just want a picture,” she said, “so I can show my daughter I finally did it.”

FAFO: Leftists worried the massive settlement CBS paid Trump would have a chilling effect on journalism. Apparently, the Wall Street Journal didn’t get the memo.

RAAACISM: On Monday’s CNN NewsNight, Brad Polumbo said that calling Trump’s immigration agenda a “reign of terror” was “hyperbolic.” Ana Novarro basically told him to shut up. “It might be hyperbolic for you as a White man… It’s certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino.” Palumbo pointed out that for her “to dismiss my opinion for being a White man, is racist.”

VAX SCENE: Feel free to skip this. I only got through 5 minutes before I could no longer control my gag reflex. [10:49] – One of Stephen Colbert’s unfunny “comedy” attempts was a series of musical odes to the ‘rona jab. Yes, a series. I mean … what’s not funny about you “can, can, can” get your shot? /sarc But hey, you know what is funny? The fact that this mega-cringe compilation is posted at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s official YouTube channel. I mean, talk about self-owns.

GRAMMY NOTES: My father’s name was Bob; his kids called him Pop. His grands called him Bop. It suited him to a tee.

Schifty’s Timeline

In 2003, then-Congressman Adam Schiff and his wife bought the house shown above, which is in Potomac, Maryland. On their mortgage application, they claimed the property as their primary and principal residence. In 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2013, they refinanced the Potomac, Maryland, home, each time citing it as their principal residence. N.b., Mortgage rates on primary residences are more favorable than they are on secondary residences or vacation properties.

In 2009, the Schiffs bought a one-bedroom and one-bathroom condo in the Burbank, California, condominium shown above. In 2020, the Schiffs refinanced their condo mortgage, listing it as that as their primary residence to get a more favorable mortgage rate.

On December 13, 2018, during an interview with CNN, Rep. Schiff stated, “No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States.”

On September 30, 2019, in a discussion about possible impeachment proceedings, Schiff emphasized that no one, including the president, is above the law.

On July 8, 2020, Schiff stated, “No one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Nor are they immune from congressional oversight or criminal investigation.”

On October 17, 2021, Schiff, now a member of the Jan. 6 committee, stated, “No one is above the law.”

On March 3, 2022, Schiff reiterated, “We need to uphold that idea that no one is above the law, including former presidents.”

In 2023, while Schiff was running for the U.S. Senate, it came out that he had claimed both homes as primary residences. His Senate campaign said it was okay, “because they are both occupied throughout the year.” An insider revealed that Schiff is “rarely at his California apartment.” FYI: It is illegal to claim two homes as primary residences simultaneously for mortgage or tax purposes.

On October 25, 2024, Schiff again stated, “No one is above the law.”

On November 25, 2024, now Senator-elect, Schiff stated, “No one is above the law.”

On March 5, 2025, in Senate floor remarks, Schiff said the justice system should ensure “no one is above the law or beyond its reach.”

On April 7, 2025, Schiff highlighted the importance of the principle that “no one, not even a president, is above the law.”

On July 15, 2025, news broke that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division had sent a criminal referral to the DOJ regarding Schiff’s mortgage shenanigans, requesting further investigation.
