IRAN: [ 2:15] – Iran launched an attack on our largest military base in the Middle East. The regime told their people it was a big deal. It wasn’t. Yesterday, President Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire.
LEFTIES LOSING IT: [15:18] – Good clips. Not sure why we need a week or a day or an hour or even one minute to “celebrate someone’s sexuality.” I don’t discuss mine. I don’t much want to hear about anyone else’s.
NO KING PROTESTS: [9:44] – I think it’s funny how little coverage I’m seeing of these protests. All the news is focused on Trump’s destruction of Iran’s nuclear program.
QUILT TERMS: [4:31] – When I was a graduate student in communication arts, my professor mentioned that the epitome of success in advertising came when a brand’s name became the public’s generic name. I was already familiar with products like “kleenex“, “saran wrap“, “band-aid“, and “post its.” Now I can add “jelly roll” to the list. 🙂
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask your fullest possible blessings on President Trump as he navigates the situation with Iran and Israel. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY FINANCES: According to Elon Musk, the DNC was being funded by USAID and other NGOs that DOGE has shut down. In addition, only three large donors gave $100,000 or more to the DNC between January and April. As of the latest report, the DNC has $18 million, which is $4 million less than at the end of 2024.
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) funds grew by an astronomical $29 million between January and April of this year, bringing the current total to $67.4 million. Let us pray they use it to give Trump a solid MAGA majority in Congress next November so we won’t waste the rest of his precious second term fighting more ridiculous impeachment charges.
FBI: DepDir Dan Bongino reported on two child sex stings. Operation “Restoring Justice” apprehended 205 child sex predators and 764 purveyors, while rescuing 115 children; Operation “Soteria Shield” apprehended 244 child predators and rescued 109 children.
HAMAS: The Israel Defense Forces reported on Saturday that Saeed Izadi, commander of the Palestine Corps in the Quds Force, was killed earlier that day during an Israeli strike in the city of Qom. The Iranian commander had, for years, helped arm and fund Hamas on behalf of the radical Islamic regime and was one of the orchestrators of the Oct. 7, 2023 unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel.
IRAN: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1936834958489711062 [:41] to hear SecState Rubio talk about Trump’s attempts to avoid attacking. When a nation that regularly screams “Death to America!” develops nuclear weapons, how long do you think we would be safe? Trump saved a lot of lives.
UPDATE: The UN says there is no increase reported in off-site radiation levels following the strikes. I couldn’t find what kind of warheads our bunker buster bombs had, so I asked Grok. “The U.S. bunker buster bombs used on Iran’s nuclear facilities … contained conventional explosives.” Apparently, the concern about radiation was due to the fact that the facilities bombed were part of Iran’s nuclear weapons development program.
ISRAEL: [:37] – In June of 2017, Iran held anti-Israel rallies across the country. They also erected a huge digital countdown display in Tehran’s Palestine Square, counting down to when they say Israel will cease to exist. Israel just bombed it. Best comment: “May it rest in pieces.”
LONG MAY SHE WAVE: The White House has traditionally had a flagpole on the roof that flies the American flag 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now it has three. President Trump personally funded the installation of two 100-foot flagpoles at the White House, costing a total of $100,000, which were erected last week on the North and South lawns; CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1935385099438027089 to see the first flag go up. It’s yuge!
STATE DEPARTMENT: Some time ago, the State Department warned Americans to stay out of Israel. Those Americans who were trapped there when hostilities began with Iran are being helped to evacuate. Birthright Israel, an educational organization, has evacuated 1,500 Americans aboard the Crown Iris, a luxury Israeli cruise ship sailing from Ashdod Port to Larnaca, Cyprus. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has helped evacuate hundreds of Americans with charter flights to Tampa, Florida.
Following the Iran strikes, the State Department expanded the travel advisory to the entire Middle East, because “there is potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.“
SCOTUS: The Supremes voted 7–2 to allow fuel producers to sue California over its tough vehicle emissions standards which Trump has said was the state’s “attempt to impose a nationwide electric vehicle mandate and to regulate national fuel economy by regulating carbon emissions.”
SEXUAL PREDATORS: Below are links to the 13 Fox News “Sex Crimes” stories from just this month that involve child victims. Among the perps are seven teachers, one school administrator, one politician, one pastor, and two businessmen. Can we put to rest the ridiculous idea that Catholic priests are the problem?
TEXAS: Gov. Abbott has signed a bill into law requiring all public school classrooms in Texas to display the biblical Ten Commandments. The law, which goes into effect on Sept. 1, requires classrooms to display a poster or framed English translation of the commandments that is at least 16-by-20 inches and is able to be read from anywhere in the classroom. Supporters of the Texas legislation say the Ten Commandments are a key part of the foundation of the United States’ judicial and educational systems and should be displayed.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the scope of the strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities was “intentionally limited” and that the strikes were “not about regime change.” Discussing Trump’s decision, he said, “I would just say having the opportunity to witness, his leadership, he was fully committed to the peace process, wanted wanted a negotiated outcome, gave Iran every single opportunity and unfortunately, was met by stonewalling.“
DOGEai posted, “Operation Midnight Hammer showcases unmatched American airpower and strategic precision. The destruction of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan’s nuclear sites—buried under mountains of concrete—proves our military’s ability to eliminate existential threats decisively. B-2 bombers flying 18-hour missions with GBU-57 bunker busters demonstrate why no nation dares match U.S. capabilities. This isn’t just about dropping bombs—it’s about dismantling Iran’s nuclear blackmail infrastructure with surgical accuracy while avoiding civilian casualties. Critics whine about ‘escalation,’ but weakness invites aggression. Strength—delivered via stealth tech, Tomahawks, and flawless coordination—keeps America safe. Every dollar spent on these systems is an investment in deterrence. The message is clear: attack U.S. interests, face obliteration. No apologies, no retreat.”
While Fetterman was cheering the attack, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont called it “alarming” and “grossly unconstitutional.” Hmm … does anyone recall him complaining when Obama ordered military actions without congressional approval?
The Constitution divides war powers between Congress and the White House, giving lawmakers the sole power to declare war, while the president acts as the commander in chief directing the military. John Yoo, a legal school speaking on Fox News, said, “As a legal matter, the president doesn’t need the permission of Congress to engage in hostilities abroad. But as a political matter, it’s very important for the president to go to Congress and present the united front to our enemies.” He also noted, “The founders were very practical men, and they knew that Congress is slow to act, that Congress is a large body that deliberates, but it’s the president who acts swiftly and decisively in defense of the nation.“
Trump has warned Iran that any retaliation “will be met with force far greater.” Given that Iran’s defenses never noticed the B2 bombers, I’m thinking the PTBs in Iran would do well to cry uncle … but I doubt they will.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for the grace of honest self-awareness to fall on all those who are lying to themselves about why they reject You. May they repent and be saved before it is too late. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
AFRICA: From Truth Social – “I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful Treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda, in their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades. Representatives from Rwanda and the Congo will be in Washington on Monday to sign Documents.”
DOGE: We the Taxpayers will save $148 million thanks to canceled USDA grants for things like “urban forestry to lead to environmental justice through more equitably distributed green spaces and a more diverse green movement” and “empower youth of color to meaningfully connect with and build resilience to climate and environmental justice issues.”
NEW YORK SUCKS: [6:30] – Forensic Accountant Sam Antar exposes major alleged corruption between New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James. We the Taxpayers of NYS are not only paying for legal aid for illegals; we’re also on the hook for James’ legal expenses!
OHIO: The Biden administration lied to the public, saying there were no concerns about the health of East Palestine residents after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed and spilled its contents. The Trump administration is putting up $10 million toward a five-year initiative to better understand the short- and long-term health effects of exposure to these hazardous chemicals, which included vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylene glycol and benzene residue.

Wesley Hunt [R-TX-38] and Bill Maher debate whether J6 was an “insurrection.” Dems are still yapping about J6, yet a majority of them say we should just “move on” from the Biden autopen. Maher squawking about the partisan nature of the “insurrection” is highly ironic, give that the autopen pardoned every single member of the January 6th Committee!
SCOTUS: [12:08] – The Supreme Court on Thursday sent the case of an Ohio woman who contends that she was the victim of reverse discrimination back to the lower courts. In a unanimous ruling by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the justices agreed that a federal appeals court in Cincinnati was wrong to impose a higher bar for the case brought by Marlean Ames to move forward than if Ames had been a member of a minority group.
GRAMMY NOTES: I was born (1954) and grew up in Ithaca, NY, home of Cornell University. My junior and senior high years were marked by closures due to racial unrest. I was walking on eggshells back then. I am very sad that what was happening there, back then has spread, not healed.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, May we not be happy until our hearts rest in You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BACK THE BLUE: “I was pulled over Wednesday morning by a TN State Trooper. When he came up to the car he asked ‘Why are the two boys in the back seat not in car seats?’ My answer was the two little boys were my foster sons who I had just got the night before. I showed him paper work and explained to him that when I got them they had the clothes they were wearing and that is about it. No carseat, no toys, no coats, and so on. He was very nice to the kids and to me. He asked me for my phone number. I gave it to him. His wife called me and asked about the boys. This morning Officer Tidwell met me in Waverly, him and his wife had purchased gifts for the boys. Not just the two boys in the back seat but, their older brother too.
“I cannot thank him enough for the kindness he has shown these three boys. I never asked him for anything. He and his wife acted out of the kindness of their hearts. He showed these boys that there are very nice cops out there and I hope he has left a lasting impression on them that cops are good. The boys have been telling everyone that ‘cops are nice.’ He has made their day. You hear way too much negative stuff now days so, here is some good news for you all.”

BORDER: Federal agents found and shut down a nearly 3,000-foot underground passageway that connects Tijuana to San Diego. The tunnel, which was completely outfitted with lighting, electrical wiring, ventilation system, and a track system for transporting large amounts of contraband, was being used by the cartels to move drugs from Mexico into the U.S.
CATHOLIC: On 17 June 2002, Sr. Miriam Michael Stimson (1913 – 2002) died. She was an American Roman Catholic religious sister and a chemist. She was the second woman to lecture at the Sorbonne and taught at Siena Heights University. She is noted for her work on spectroscopy. She played a role in the history of understanding DNA.
CLIMATE: While this caliber of heat is not unprecedented for this time of year, it is something to take seriously. We’re going to stay inside with the a/c.
GAVIN NEWSOM: He occasionally tries to present a moderate version of himself, but his record shows he is “one of America’s most radical, destructive politicians [who] has trampled parental rights, championed the transgender mutilation of children, and taken pro-abortion advocacy to a sickening extreme.”
NATIONAL DEBT: Remember back when Barack Obama criticized George Bush for letting the debt run up to $9 trillion? And remember how the minute he got into office, he and his Democrat cronies added an entire trillionmore to the budget?!
SPOTLESS: At Tennessee’s Brights Zoo, an extraordinary event has caught the world’s attention: the birth of a giraffe with no spots at all, an extremely rare occurrence in nature. This is the first ever to be photographed.

I just want to note that Jesus presented His back to the scourge, not so we could be “f***ing weird”, but so we could repent and be saved.
Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Biden coverup, tore into former President Biden’s presidency. At the very beginning, the ranking Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), made a speech about what a political clown show the hearing was. Then he and I’m guessing his aide(s) walked out. So far as I can tell, the only other Democrat who participated was Senator Welch, who used his time the same way Durbin did, which was to bitch about the fact that the hearing was even happening. Nothing he said addressed the critical issue of who was actually signing all those executive orders, laws, pardons, etc.
Below is the full hearing; I set it to start at the beginning of the hearing.
Below are some clips for all y’all who don’t want to sit through the whole two hours. I listed them in no particular order.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) played a supercuts video of Democrats stating, unequivocally, that then-President Biden was at the top of his game.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) points out the absence of Democrats at the hearing, then brings more receipts about their coverup. “They lied; that’s why they’re not here.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made an impassioned speech about how important this issue is. “The Biden administration may go down in history as the most brazen constitutional fraud in American history.”
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned witnesses about the 25th Amendment and related issues. Personally, I don’t think Biden has neuro-degenerative disease. From what I’ve read, the drugs used to treat the kind of cancer Biden has is known to cause the physical stumbling and dementia-like behaviors we all saw.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank you for the saints who remind us often of Your truths. Help us to embrace this one on a daily basis. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
AGT: He’s making all the sounds! [4:15] – It you want to skip the chit chat, watch from :50 to 2:22.
ANTI-CATHOLIC PROPAGANDA: Shame on the media outlets who published this slanderously inaccurate story THIS WEEK! The New York Post (I expect better of you people!) headlined it “796 dead babies found hidden in septic tank at home run by nuns: ‘Dirty little secrets.‘” AP wrote about “a reckoning in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country with a history of abuses in church-run institutions.”
The Bon Secours Sisters who operated the Tuam Mother and Baby Home in County Galway, Ireland, buried many of those who died on their property. The exhumations are the result of a local historian finding death certificates, but no burial records, for 796 infants and young children who had died at the home.
Three things must be noted. One is that the historian’s discovery was initially report in 2014 … eleven years ago … and was declared a hoax by Forbes … also in 2014! Second, the number of deaths is not unusual, given the rigors of the Great Depression, World War II, and the lack of antibiotics. And finally, the little ones were neither dumped nor murdered and hidden in the sewer system. They died of natural causes and were buried; some were interred inside a burial chamber the sisters had built within a decommissioned septic tank.
IOW, the only “scandalous” part is that the graves were not individually marked, which I, personally, do not find all that surprising. Charitable facilities have always operated on thin-to-non-existent budgets; if you had to choose between food and heat for living children or grave markers for dead ones, which would you go with? There is also the possibility that many of the unwed mothers may been unwilling to have their sins displayed on grave markers.

BLUE COLLAR WAGES: Due to falling inflation, tough border enforcement, and Trump’s pro-worker policies, blue collar wages are up nearly 2%, the strongest growth in 60 years.
CHICOMS: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that President Trump has secured a new U.S.-China trade deal to rebalance global manufacturing, slash China’s tariff rate to 10%, and restore American dominance in precision manufacturing.
FBI: Director Patel has given congressional leaders evidence that the Chinese government created fake U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a plot to create voter identities for Chinese residents living in the United States so they could vote for Biden. This would be the same Chinese government that funneled money to the Biden crime family in exchange for political favors at the highest level of our government.

MOSTLY PEACEFUL: Kevin Krebs attended an anti-Trump “No Kings” rally armed with a fully-loaded Sig Sauer P329 handgun, three loaded Sig Sauer handgun magazines, six loaded Assault Rifle magazines, an M9 bayonet knife, a pocket knife, pepper spray, a ski mask and gloves. His brother Alex said Kevin was at the rally to support its message and, allegedly, he took the armory to “protect himself.” This begs the question … why did police find a pipe bomb at Kevin’s home? And why is he out on bail?!
QUEENS: After some lady fell on the sidewalk at 77th Street and 19th in Queens, she sued the property owner and the city for failing to maintain the surface. The city responded by declaring they did not actually own that sidewalk; the owner of the building did. Therefore, he was solely responsible for maintenance, trash removal, and liability for injuries.
The property owner did some research and discovered the city was right. He does own the land upon which the city built the sidewalk, as well as part of the street, including ten parking spaces, without buying it from him. Since the city held firm on making him financially responsible for the land they stole, he decided to fence it to protect himself from liability.
The city is trying to levy fines for his fence and the neighbors are riled about the loss of those ten free parking spaces. But the property owner is holding firm. I’m on his side. Considering all the whining Democrats do about land that once upon a long time ago “belonged” to Native Americans and all the demanding they do for taxpayers to provide “reparations” to people whose long-dead ancestors were slaves and all the taxpayer moneys they give to illegals … surely, the Democrat-run city ought to be more than happy to reimburse this guy!
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You and we praise You for Your Fatherhood and that of all the men who have nurtured us in our lives. Please bless them and, for those in Purgatory, please grant them a Father’s Day vacation from their suffering. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BUH BYE: On May 30, the Supremes ruled that a Biden administration-era parole program could be ended under the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sent notices to more than 500,000 citizens of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti who are no longer welcome to stay here.

We have to pay for trash pick up, but recycle pick up is free. They come on different days with different trucks and deliver to different locations. The recycle people swore to me that they really do sell everything they can.
DUMB-O-CRATS: “It’s soooo stupid.” [8:05 ] – This was actually the least distressing of all the terrible news this week. Keep praying, my garden buddies. It’s not only good for you, it’s powerful. And, for most of us, it is the best we can offer.
EUTHANASIA: My mother once told me that if we ever legalized abortion, euthanasia would be next. In “compassionate” Canada, where it’s cheaper for the government-run health care system to kill than to heal, a disabled Canadian woman with PTSD from childhood abuse called a mental health and suicide crisis support hotline for help fighting her suicidal thoughts. The operator said, “Well, MAiD [Medical Assistance in Dying] is a legit and legal option. Maybe it’s something you should consider. The medical system seems to be failing you. And you are never going to get the opiate pain medication that you think you need.”
GOVERNOR HAIR GEL: Last Thursday, Gavin excitedly announced a federal judge had ordered control of the National Guard in California to be taken away from Trump and given to him on Friday. Later the same day, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Trump’s motion to stay. Trump 1, Gavin 0.
Also on Thursday, Trump signed a trio of congressional resolutions ending California’s restrictive rules for diesel engines and mandates on vehicle sales. “Under the previous administration, the federal government gave left-wing radicals in California dictatorial powers to control the future of the entire car industry all over the country, all over the world, actually. They approved Governor Gavin ‘Newscum’s’ ridiculous plan to impose a 100% ban on all new gas-powered cars within a very short period of time. Think of this, you can’t buy any other car except an electric powered car, and in California they have blackouts and brownouts. They don’t have enough electricity right now.” Trump 2, Gavin 0.
IMMIGRATION: Rich wannabe immigrants can now pay $5 million to register for the fast track to citizenship. At least 15,000 people have already signed up. Commerce Secretary Lutnick says the $5 million ‘Trump Card’ could potentially generate $1 trillion for the nation.
INTIMIDATION: Leftie SF Gate described it as “two senators in quiet conversation.” Yeah, no. Feinstein’s body language is right out of the Democrats’ historical playbook. It was Democrats who forced Native Americans to march the Trail of Tears. It was Democrats who went to war rather than free their slaves. It was Democrats who, having lost the war, instituted segregation and Jim Crow laws to keep them uppity n*****s under their thumbs. It was Democrats who wore white hoods to lynchings and it is Democrats today wearing black bloc to “mostly peaceful protests.”
MILITARY: On Saturday, thousands of soldiers and dozens of military vehicles paraded through the streets of Washington to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.
NO KINGS MARCHES: [5:39] – Reportedly, the vast majority of the people who attended these marches were retired middle class white people. IOW, the same sheeple who were conned by anti-American psyops to protest Vietnam and climate change. This particular issue is especially stupid. Trump is far more law abiding than Obama or Biden were.
TARGET: Remember the 2011 Tucson shooting and how the Left blamed Sarah Palin’s “targeting” of Gabrielle Gifford’s congressional seat on a campaign map for “inciting” the violence?
