DAILY PRAYER: Bless us, O Lord, and all the gifts we receive from Your bounty! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BEAUTY BREAK: [3:18] – Nisha is an inspiration.

BOLTON: On October 16, John Bolton, who served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser during the president’s first term, was indicted on 18 counts under the Espionage Act. Federal prosecutors allege that between April 9, 2018 and August 22, 2025, Bolton shared more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level — with two unauthorized individuals.

CLICK https://x.com/alx/status/1978970564107657261 [:25] to hear Bolton say that Trump possibly having mishandled classified information was “a very serious crime.” Now that he’s been indicted on the same charges, he’s saying, “I have become the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department to charge those he deems to be his enemies.” The old Democrat two step: Rules for thee but not for me.

CALIFORNICATION: California is the only state that has refused to require commercial truck drivers speak English. CLICK https://x.com/SecDuffy/status/1978595805603774732 [1:15] to hear SecTrans Duffy explain that this is a long-standing rule that wasn’t being enforced. Trump has ordered that $40 million in state aid be withheld from California until they get on board. If Newsom is so concerned about his people being able to drive trucks, he should sponsor a massive ESL program to get them up to speed.

CHARLIE KIRK: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LqGVsdq-KWw [1:20] to hear him talk about male vs. female. I believe there is a similar gender breakdown in single vs. multitasking.

COMEDY BREAK: [2:33] – “Projecting LOL.”

DEMOCRATS: Republicans put forward a stand-alone bill to ensure military pay during the shutdown. The only Senate Democrats to cross the aisle to vote with the GOP were Sens. John Fetterman (PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), and Jeanne Shaheen (NH).

EDUCATION: [3:43] – This UNC-Asheville student joined both College Democrats and Turning Point USA.

EVERYDAY HEROES: “This woman, Kaylen, at Sports Clips in Charleston did more for my heart than she will probably ever realize. Haircuts with Isaiah are no small feat. He hates having anything near his ears, the sound of clippers sends him into a tailspin…this evening was no different. I was ready to give up, but she wasn’t. She sat on the floor with my baby in her lap, and she cut his hair. They talked about Dory and Christmas, and she even let him spray her with her water bottle. Autism can be so very, very hard, but people like this make our days just a little easier.” Credit: Jennifer McCafferty

ICE: During a three-day operation in September along Interstate 40 in Oklahoma, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained 120 illegal immigrants for immigration-related offenses. At least 91 of them held a commercial driver’s license (CDL*)and were operating a commercial motor vehicle.

*A CDL allows a driver to operate a large, hazardous, or heavy motor vehicle for business purposes, including tractor trailers, tank trucks, and buses.

MILITARY: SecDef Pete has ordered some of the National Guardsmen who deployed to Illinois to go back home cuz they’re fat, not fit.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We ask that truth be uncovered and justice be accomplished in all cases before every court in the land. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SCOTUS: CLICK https://x.com/BreitbartNews/status/1978488505161404532 [1:29] to hear Justice Ketanji Brown say that Blacks needs gerrymandered voting districts because they’re disabled.

SMITH: On October 16, a group of GOP lawmakers, led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, asking her office to refer former special counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged misconduct and possible disbarment. Their complaint centers on Smith having engaged in a “weaponized witch hunt” during which the Biden DOJ subpoenad their cell phone records.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: The monastery where St. Carlo Acutis received his First Holy Communion in 1998 was almost completely destroyed by fire on October 11. The 21 cloistered nuns who live in the 17th century facility outside Milan escaped without harm and were able to save some paintings and a relic of the saint. The cause of the blaze is unknown.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GPudzpjUz9I to hear what happened to a kid who put laxatives in his cupcake. When I was a kid, a friend’s son had his lunch stolen from his locker. This was before meds were stored with the school nurse, so his epilepsy pills were in the bag. During the discussion, my sibs said lunch theft from lockers was not uncommon in the high school. My father opined that he’d make a dog doo sandwich and put that in his locker.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: After three years of courtroom battles, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is finally doing the right thing and stripping “Lia” Thomas of all of his swimming medals.

GRAMMY NOTES: Shout-out to my Dearest, who was born 76 years ago today. Happy birthday, Boo!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GRAMMY NOTES: One time, when we were in New York and our military kids were stationed in Alaska, Maryland, and Texas, we exchanged photos showing it was snowing in all four places.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for letting us know how it all turns out in the end. In Jesus’ Name, Hallelujah!

CALI: The California Air Resources Board has repealed the state’s zero-emission purchasing rule for private fleets, putting the final nail in Newsom’s push to mandate electric vehicles in the trucking sector.

J6: Social media has been aflame with reports that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Director Patel has clarified that the agents were not there before, but only sent in after the Metro Police declared it was a “riot.” He also noted that sending agents in to do crowd control “goes against FBI standards” and that then-Director Wray should have disclosed this information when he was asked by congressional leaders.

Patel also said, “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened. Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”

LIFE: “I spoke with a woman outside Planned Parenthood who was needing a pregnancy test, but PP wouldn’t give to her for free. So I told her about our pregnancy resource center and how they would give her a FREE test along with so much additional support if her test is positive, and she just started crying. She said she wouldn’t be able to have a kid. I told her that if she is pregnant, there are so many local organizations that will help her parent or choose adoption, but that we had time to talk through all her options. But, her first step was to take the test and connect with the center, which she did!” –Ramona, Indiana Advocate

PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1972109821252882915 [:23] to hear Kamala Harris lie her face off. Firstly, “Charlie Kirk’s shooter was MAGA” was not a joke. It was a lie. ABC is licensed by the government to use public airwaves. People can say whatever they like on cable television channels. But on public channels, they have to obey the FCC’s rules, one of which is “no lying.”

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless all of the parents, teachers, administrators, and government agencies charged with the sacred responsibility to educate our children. Grant them patience, courage, and wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

SCIENCE: Once again, the Bible is proven right. “Then God said: Let the earth bring forth every kind of living creature. “ ~ Genesis 1:24

SHUTDOWN: CLICK https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1971964979818738172 [:51] to hear VP Vance on the subject. I refuse to listen to Democrats moaning about a shutdown.

TRUMP: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1687353678625445 [5:26 ] to hear what Trump promised a veteran who was getting the runaround from the VA. The veteran posted this to the video: “Scott Zimmermann – He did what he said he was going to do. The VA Hospital I go to has done a 180° turnaround. The VA claims process has sped up from months/years to only weeks/months. The quality of care is way better also.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Protect us from a false tolerance for heresy and remind us always to pray for the salvation of those who have been taught to believe in lies. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

WASHINGTON: Two fundamentalist Muslim migrants from Iraq, neither of whom have bothered to learn English, have been found Not Guilty of attempted murder by a Thurston County jury.

Judge Christine Schaller did not allow the prosecution to enter into evidence that, before the attack, the defendants had threatened their teenaged daughter with honor killing if she refused to fly back to their home country and marry the older Muslim man they had selected for her. The judge said the backstory would be too prejudicial.

Well duh! Intent to kill is necessary for a murder verdict. Denying the jury the facts about the parents pre-stated intention to kill the girl made it impossible for the jury to convict on murder charges. The father was found guilty only of assault and unlawful imprisonment and will be serving a 12-month prison sentence.

The mother was found guilty only of violating two domestic violence protective orders that had been obtained, on the girl’s behalf, by the boyfriend and their high school. The mother has already served more time behind bars than her sentence called for, so she is out of jail, but must have no contact with her daughter.

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.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, When we go through dark times, keep us on Your straight path. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

2024: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rz8CN3qn2qo to hear Rob Schneider explain in simple terms why Democrats lost. Elon Musk has announced he will officially launch the “America Party” the day after Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” passes. This might be a good thing. With the Democratic Party having lost its way, the GOP is in danger of being taken over by unscrupulous power mongers.

AFGHANISTAN: Remember how Biden’s abrupt withdrawal went? Remember how his inept plan got 13 of our service members killed? Remember how he checked his watch at least twice as their bodies were unloaded at Dover Air Force Base on August 29, 2021? CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hh729uK9jpM to hear what Trump’s withdrawal plan was!

BORDER: JAG officers will be deputized to hear asylum claims. [3:14] – GROK says the zigzag thing is a myth. The best way to escape an alligator is to run away in a straight line, because “alligators can sprint short distances (up to 11 mph), but they tire quickly and are less agile on land. Aim for at least 20-30 feet to get out of their range.”

ECONOMY: We voted for this. – The new US jobs report shows the unemployment rate dropped as all new jobs went to citizens.

GOOD DADS: These daughters will NEVER forget what their dads did! – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bDmh1O-n1AY to hear an awesome dad tell off the school board.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N86JLg6SeQ0 to hear what another awesome dad did. – When our eldest missed the bus, we told her she could either pay her dad to drive her or she could walk. We calculated his lost wages and gas; she decided she couldn’t afford it and walked. In the rain. She never missed the bus again.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Huf9Kqmiy0o to hear two astonishing stories about fatherhood.

MEDIA: CBS parent Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a voter interference lawsuit filed by President Trump last October.

MR. PETTY PANTS: Chuckie Schmucker forced a name change for President Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ moments before the massive spending and reform bill passed the senate. Best comment – “It makes Schumer look as small and unimaginative as he actually is.”

RATIO: When a tweet gets significantly more replies than likes or retweets, it is said to have been “ratio’d.” The disparity suggests far more people are criticizing or mocking the tweet than supporting it. Some of my favorite comments –

  1. Hey Keith, why don’t you tell us all about your awards and titles in the various competitive sports that you’ve played.
  2. What must it be like to be the stupidest prick to ever be fired from every media company you ever worked for?
  3. Lia Thomas has a wiener. It’s the only thing that separates you from him.
  4. Zip it, Democrat.
  5. You do realize Will “Lia” Thomas was ranked 462 in men’s swimming and wouldn’t have even qualified for races at that level if he had been swimming against other men?

SINISTER: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zp1w1rm82kI to hear Nick Freitas make a very good point about what DOGE has uncovered.

SO MUCH WIN: Julie Jaman (82) has been awarded $65,000 settlement in her civil rights complaint against the City of Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. In 2022, she was permanently banned from using the city-owned pool at her local YMCA for having objected to a trans man staffer watching minor girls change in the ladies locker room. The Center for American Liberty (CAL) represented her.

“I never imagined that expressing concerns about the safety and privacy of women and girls would lead to me being shunned and banned,” Jaman said in a press release. “I’m grateful that justice has been served and that my voice was heard. This is a victory for common sense, women’s rights, and the right to speak the truth.“

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Break out the Handmaiden costumes, girls; the Patriarchy has once again put us in our place. A “trans-identifying” (i.e., cheating mediocre male cos playing as a female) athlete won first place at the Lyons Masters National (women’s) Championships in Wisconsin on Tuesday.

The female who won the race, but had to take second, said she wasn’t even aware the trannie had registered for the event. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have spent thousands of dollars in travel and time off work to come and do a race.” When she objected, saying, “I don’t want to race against a man,” they told her “Oh, you can’t call him a man.”

My favorite comment – “A narcissistic man desperate to be good at something.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, May Your angels be with us in all we do and watch over us as we sleep. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1940022749637788139 [:35] to see Tampa Police Department body cam footage of the daring rescue of a woman trapped upside down in a burning car. Thankfully, everyone came out of it in good shape.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL: Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote was needed to push the bill across the finish line in the Senate. It now goes back to the House to vote on whether or not the Senate’s changes are acceptable. Trump wants this thing done by July 4.

BORDER: Alligator Alcatraz is open for business! CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1940015561175437379 [1:17] and https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1940038267010683266 [:24] for a tour.

LANGUAGE LESSON: In America, cumin can be pronounced KUM-in or KYOO-min. However, the Brits say KUM-in or KOO-min. Since KUM-in is correct in either place, remember the parachute and you’ll get it right wherever you are.

PROPAGANDA: I asked Grok, Did Joseph Goebbels say, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes accepted as truth”?

Grok replied, The line is commonly attributed to Joseph Goebbels, but there’s no definitive evidence he said or wrote these exact words. The phrase is often linked to Nazi propaganda tactics, reflecting Goebbels’ role as Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, where he emphasized repetition to shape public belief. However, the earliest known version of this idea predates Goebbels, appearing in a 1914 book by Kate Upson Clark, The Sting of the Wasp, which says, “If you only tell a lie long enough, often enough, and loud enough, it will finally be accepted as the truth.”

Some sources suggest the quote is a paraphrase of Goebbels’ broader propaganda philosophy, as he wrote in a 1941 article: “The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it.” This aligns with the concept but isn’t a direct match. Posts on X and various web sources repeat the attribution to Goebbels, but historians and fact-checkers, like those at Snopes, note the lack of primary evidence for the exact quote. It’s possible the attribution grew from his reputation rather than a specific statement.

So, while the idea fits Goebbels’ methods, there’s no verified record of him saying this precise phrase. The quote likely evolved from earlier sources and his general approach to propaganda.

TARIFFS: The Department of Homeland Security has collected more than $106 billion in tariff revenue since President Trump took office, and most of that — $81.5 billion — is directly tied to the new levies the president has imposed on worldwide goods.

WHAT IS A WOMAN: [1:07] – Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded the Republicans Big, Beautiful Bill be read on the Senate floor. In so doing, he entered the following into the Congressional Record – [T]he term ‘female’ means an individual who naturally has had, will have, or would have but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilize eggs for fertilization. … [T]he term ‘male’ means an individual who naturally has had, will have, or would have but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes sperm for fertilization.

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.

CANCEL CULTURE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1945255805880699 to hear Rep. Wesley Hunt tell Bill Maher why he is proud to have lived in General Robert E. Lee Barracks at West Point.

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.

DETRANS: God bless the children who have been lied to and abused by this evil. – CLICK https://x.com/WesleyHuntTX/status/1936883157871235546 to hear Rep. Wesley Hunt do a sanity check.

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.

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.

DAILY PRAYER: Oh my Jesus, Save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

ABC NEWS: Speaking of bile … – Terry Moran was the senior ABC News correspondent when he posted the angry rant above about Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy. The post went up while rioters were attacking federal officers in Los Angeles for doing their jobs. Obviously, Terry Moran forgot that the times they are a’changing. He is now a former senior ABC News correspondent.

DEMOCRAT THING: I heard SO many people say, “I could tell them for free.”

GRETA: CLICK https://x.com/BrandonStraka/status/1931898283171180884 [:28] to hear Greta send out one last self-serving video before being “kidnapped” by Israelis. One might say she and her comrades were saved from the consequences of their own stupidity in attempting to enter a war zone. ::smh::

The Israeli Foreign Ministry reported that the “selfie yacht” was indeed intercepted, but far from being “kidnapped”, Greta (in her Kermit hat) and the rest of the passengers were given food and water, then taken to Israel from where they are all being returned to their home countries. Before leaving though, they each have to view a video about the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023 against Israeli citizens.

During the time the “selfie celebrities” were posting “look at us bringing aid to Gaza!” videos, more than 1,200 aid trucks entered Gaza from Israel. The IFM posted, “There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies. The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ‘celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels.”

LA RIOTS: [13:43] – Clashes escalated on Sunday night after National Guard were deployed by Trump. Newsom says California will sue over the deployment.

MEASURES: A humble peasant’s wife churned butter into perfect little one-kilogram wheels, and he sold them at the local grocer’s shop. Business was good until the grocer weighed one of the butter wheels and discovered it was only 900 grams, not a full kilogram.

The merchant shouted at the peasant, “Don’t bring me your butter again, cheat! You promised a kilo, but it’s always short. Get out of my shop and never come back!”

The peasant lowered his head and said, “Sir, you’re mistaken. I have no scales. I’ve always measured my butter against the kilogram of sugar I once bought from you. That’s my only standard.”

MEDIA: “Legal immigrants are not legal immigrants, rioters are not protesters, and exercising explicit federal powers is not usurping the authority of the states. The press deliberately conflates all these ideas, but that doesn’t change anything.” – Charles Cooke

ALCATRAZ: The former federal prison was known as impossible to escape because of the strong currents and cold waters surround its island. It once housed such infamous criminals as the gangster Al Capone.

BORDER: In April 2024, Homeland Security released a report saying 11 million illegal aliens were estimated to be living in the U.S. as of January 2022. We’ve spent untold billion$ giving them free food, shelter, education, transportation, and health care. Paying them a pittance to go home is far cheaper than continuing the handouts while paying ICE to track them down individually (est @ $17,000/per).

HARVARD PROFS: The Trump administration froze $2.2 billion dollars in federal grants for Harvard which has refused to eliminate DEI and stop supporting antisemitism. More than 80 Harvard faculty members have so far pledged to donate more than $2 million to counter what Government professor Steven Levitsky would be “a death blow to academic freedom.” A 2023 survey found that more than 77% of Harvard’s profs identify as liberal.

HEALTH: Mattress safety is more crucial for babies and young children than for teens or adults, because they spend far more time sleeping.

During those hours, they are more likely to inhale, absorb and/or ingest mattress materials because their breathing rates and skin surfaces relative to body weights are much higher, their skin is more permeable, and they are more likely to put their hands in their mouths. If those materials are harmful, they are far more likely to be damaged, because their blood-brain barriers and detoxification systems are not fully developed.

Recent studies of mattresses found hormone disruptors that interfere with growth, mood, reproduction, and other vital bodily functions. These toxins have been linked to impaired memory, learning disorders, behavioral issues, and lower IQ scores. Some are also linked to childhood cancer and asthma.

LAPTOP FARMS: The National Security Division and the FBI’s Cyber and Counterintelligence Divisions, have an entire division allocated to rooting out and dismantling laptop farms. – Over the last three years, Minh Phuong Ngoc Vong, a U.S. citizen, pulled down $970,000, supposedly by working at a nail salon in Bowie, Maryland. What he was really doing (besides maybe trimming cuticles) was obtaining and then subcontracting government jobs to IT guys in China. Vong himself has no degree and no experience in IT. Literally, the only thing he did was plug a company-provided laptop in at home and install remote access programs on it, so that it looked like it was being operated in the U.S. Basically, he gave the ChiComms access to U.S. government secrets. He pled guilty to several counts of international wire fraud and faces up to 20 years in prison.

MEDICAL TORTURE: Under Tony Fauci, the NIH approved forcing We the Taxpayers to fund allegedly necessary drug tests on animals. They prefer beagles, because they are such sweet-natured animals; apparently, said puppies were mass-bred at puppy mills for the purpose of being tortured and euthanized. They also had their vocal cords cut so experimenters wouldn’t have to listen to them cry out in pain.

One experiment involved pumping pneumonia-causing bacteria into more than 2,000 beagles’ lungs, bleeding them out and forcing them into septic shock. Another had them locking puppies’ heads into cages filled with hungry sand flies.

Under NIH’s new director, Jay Bhattacharya, torturing puppies is a thing of the past. Bhattacharya said PETA actually sent him flowers! BTW, during Trump’s first term in 2019, his administration closed the government’s largest cat lab.

TRUMP: I am relieved to hear he has nixed the idea of a third term. “I’m looking to have four great years, and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican … to carry it forward,” he said. He named Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the best contenders to replace him in 2028.
