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.

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. 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.

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.”

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.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant Pope Francis eternal rest. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

100 DAYS: Translation from Left-ese into Reality-ese — Judges who broke the law are facing consequences; illegals are being deported for being here illegally … just like they were under Clinton and Biden; history that was rewritten by Progressive is being restored; libraries are being curated to provide materials appropriate to community standards; universities that support anti-Semitism and terrorism are losing taxpayer-funded grants they had no right to in the first place; bloated government agencies and budgets are being cut back so we don’t go bankrupt; Biden created a government office to monitor conservative social media posts; countries often give child bonuses when the birth rate drops too low; there are no new threats of wars; Obama, who got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being George Bush, started multiple new wars; everybody rips us off, demands we provide aid and military support, and badmouths us for being who we are, so who cares if we demand a little equity and courtesy in return?

BORDER: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said thousands of illegal immigrants have registered on the CBP Home app to self-deport, and that those who have not yet done so will face consequences.

CATHOLIC: [9:10] – Father David Michael Moses reviews The Conclave. He includes the comments of a Catholic cardinal who participated in the last conclave and saw the movie. I think I’ll give this movie a miss.

EDUCATION: It’s interesting how they went from demanding evolution and creationism be taught as theories to demanding creationism be eliminated entirely. They’re so indoctrinated they won’t even listen to how different Intelligent Design is from biblical creationism.

HYPOCRITE: Schumer is shooting off his mouth about the arrests of two judges for aiding criminal illegal aliens saying “President Trump and the DOJ can’t just arrest judges at will.” IMO, judges should be held to a higher standard than anybody! Plus, I don’t remember Schumer being bothered about a former U.S. president being arrested, booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and held against his will inside a cold court room during campaign season.

MILITARY: The Army has surpassed its 2025 recruiting goal six months early.

MORE HYPOCRISY: The people supporting trans activism are the same people who loudly object to white people wearing braids.

SANTOS: They said he was a liar. Now he’s going to prison. – George Santos is one of only six congressmen and the first Republican to ever be expelled from the House of Representatives. The first three, all Democrats, were expelled back in 1861 for fighting for the Confederacy.

The fourth, Michael J. Myers (also Democrat), was expelled in 1980 and later imprisoned for conspiracy to commit bribery, defraud the U.S., receipt of illegal gratuities, obstruction of justice, filing false tax returns, and racketeering

The fifth, yet another Democrat, was James A. Traficant who was expelled in 2002 after being convicted of 10 felony counts, including taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his congressional staff to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and houseboat in Washington, D.C. He served a 7-year prison sentence.

Republican George Santos was expelled in 2023 and federally indicted on 23 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds, lying on Federal financial disclosure forms to the House of Representatives, aggravated identity theft, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. As part of a plea deal, Santos has agreed to pay roughly $580,000 in penalties in addition to serving a seven-year prison sentence.

STUDENT LOANS: Leftists want people who’ve defaulted on student loan debt to pull their money out of major banks and put it into credit unions. Supposedly, this will “cripple” banks and inspire them to pressure the Trump administration. How much $$$ do people who can’t afford to make payments on their student loans even have?? Unless, of course, they aren’t paying their loans because Biden kept telling them they didn’t need to …

UK: The nation’s Supreme Court just ruled that sex is biological. But never mind that. The London Marathon is allowing males to run in female categories.

WISCONSIN: Judge Hannah Dugan has been arrested for taking extraordinary and allegedly illegal steps to thwart police from taking a past deportee into custody. The illegal in question, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, was charged with domestic violence in mid-March; the case was assigned to Dugan. He was deported in 2013; there is no evidence he returned legally.

Democrats claim to be the party that defends women’s rights. So why are they now picking men-who-say-they’re-women over real women and illegal aliens over the women they beat up, rape, and murder?

GRAMMY NOTES: Haiku posted at Facebook Haiku Society by James Grundy – My favorite thing about haiku is where the first two lines create an image and/or mood and the third line takes it in an unexpected direction. This is a lovely example.

DAILY PRAYER: Lorelai is a relative of a relative. I’ll keep you posted as much as possible about her progress.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: It’s too often true that the name Democrats give their bills tell us the opposite of what its provisions do if they are made into law. According to a new report by CBS News, “Health care is so expensive that 31 million U.S. adults, or 12%, had to borrow a total of $74 billion last year to obtain medical care, new data shows. That includes people with health insurance, making such numbers even more troubling.”

AIR: There are reasons why air crews should not be DEI’d by gender. Pilots should be predominantly male, because they are better at spatial awareness and single-mindedness; flight attendants should be predominantly female, because we are better at nurturing and multi-tasking.

AL GREEN: The House voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress by yelling and angrily shaking his cane. Security guards had to forcibly remove Green and 10 Democrats rightfully joined Republicans in the vote to censure.

But then the corrupt Democrats decided to sing “We Shall Overcome” to show their support for Green’s bad behavior. That song is about overcoming violence via peaceful protest. The second verse says, “We’ll walk hand in hand.” The third verse says, “We will live in peace.”

Breitbart says 80% of speech viewers polled also disapproved of his behavior. The Dems’ own John Fetterman (PA) called his colleagues put on “a sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance” that only made “Trump look more presidential and restrained.”

CATHOLIC: ❤ this!

SECRET SERVICE: I checked. This is true.

SHAMEFUL: “Democrats are so angry with Trump, you’d think he showered with his daughter and laundered money with his crackhead son.” – Mila Joy on X

TENNESSEE: Congressman Steve Cohen (D) has been representing the 9th district since 2007. The district has voted Democratic in every congressional race since 1974.

GRAMMY NOTES: Forty-five years married … we think of our union as a 3-legged stool. He’s one leg; I’m another; God is the third. To keep it balanced and strong, we need to keep things balanced and equal. What Father says about self-sacrifice is, in our model, just God’s leg getting its fair share.

ANIMAL TORTURE: On Feb. 6, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing entitled “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.” Justin Goodman of the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) watchdog group reported on the millions taxpayers have spent on “transgender animal testing.” One guess who authorized 95% of this demonic activity.

“In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys, who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender-affirming hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you’ve transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you’ve put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them.”

Goodman said the WCW estimates that more than $20 billion has been spent on ineffective animal research. Rep. Mace (R-SC) noted, “We spent over $1 million to find out if female rats receiving testosterone therapy were more likely to overdose on a date rape drug. That’s what your taxpayer dollars were being spent on.”

BORDER: [10:07] – The estimated social benefit cost to each illegal is $130,000. And the Dems said that spending $5 billion to finish building Trump’s wall would be too expensive. “President Trump is committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” a White House fact sheet on the executive order said.

Re: rebate – I’m all for paying down debt. But I’ve also got a molar that could really use 5 grand.

HIRED/FIRED: The Senate has approved Howard Lutnick, Trump’s choice to head up the Commerce Department. Lutnick is a staunch supporter of Trump’s economic policies.

KANSAS: God bless the Kansas state Republicans who, on Tuesday, voted 31-9 in the state Senate and 85-34 in the state House to override the veto their woke governor slapped on the “Help Not Harm Act.” The new law bans doctors from performing transgender surgeries on minors or putting them on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. Kansas is now the 27th state to legislate gender protections for minors.

ROB SCHNEIDER: [2:08:57] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h5XQlrLT8qo to hear a clip from his interview with Tucker Carlson. I am listening to the interview now.

UPDATE: YouTube censored the section about COVID vaccines. You can watch the full interview @ https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-rob-schneider.

GRAMMY NOTES: I was pondering what a “sacrifice of praise” means to me and was reminded of a story I heard once. A devout pastor was struggling with depression after his daughter lost her leg to cancer. When he asked a colleague for help, the man said, “Praise God.” The depressed pastor said his spiritual life was totally dry and he didn’t feel any joy or love or gratitude etc. The colleague said, “Praise Him anyway. It’s not about your feelings. It’s about the fact that God is good in all things and through all things.” I learned from that how to be grateful and praise God even on my worst days.

DAILY PRAYER: O Lord, enlighten our hearts that evil desires are darkened and send down Thy grace to help us glorify Thee. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DOGE: The Biden administration gave $2.5 million of our money to 24 schools to finance a 10-week long “intervention” designed to help LGBTQ-identifying youth “cope with the effects of minority stress.”

We’ve also been stuck with paying $53 million to maintain a super yacht we confiscated from a Russian oligarch, just in case it has to be given back.

MILITARY: CLICK https://x.com/catturd2/status/1872029204818342380 [:20] for something that should have never happened. “My problem with it, is simple. When you are in the military you are there to do a job. Not put out for sex partners. This is demoralizing to troops.” – X commenter

RACISM vs. GREENISM: I am always amused to see self-righteous activist lefties expose their insane hypocrisies. CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1868797312665100379 [2:04] to hear of the outrage in Loudon County over a teacher passing around cotton during a lesson the invention of the cotton gin. Now CLICK https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1872268679381131418 [1:07] to hear Billy Bob Thornton talk about how pervasive petroleum is in our culture. The RAAAACISM idjits in Loudon County should read the tags on their clothes. Cotton is the most common and least expensive natural fiber we have available to us. But, since it costs more than its usual substitute, polyester (which is primarily made from petroleum-derived chemicals), it is something of a luxury fiber.

TEXAS: CLICK https://x.com/Mericamemed/status/1871759376543084750 [:37] to see the awesome holiday greeting from the mayor of Garland. LOL!!

USA: [3:49] – Joe Biden signed a bill into law designating the bald eagle as our national bird. And here I thought the founders did that some time after telling Ben Franklin it was NOT going to be the turkey.

GRAMMY NOTES: Let it be known that, on Christmas Day of this year, I played what may be the BEST GAME OF SWEET SHUFFLE EVER!
