DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask that You will grant us each a clear understanding of how important our final years are in Your sight. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CATHOLIC: Powerful words! Make time to hear them with all your mind and heart. [21:09] – In a world that often neglects the elderly, Cardinal Sarah reminds us that God never forgets His faithful servants. Our lives continue to have meaning and our presence still carries a divine assignment.

DARWIN WAS WRONG: [14:26] – Dawkins and Meyer remind me a lot of other left-wing and right-wing apologists. On the left, we see sneering, personal attacks; on the right, we see calm and rational logic.

EPSTEIN: [7:36] – And people wonder why the files weren’t released during the Biden administration?

MICHELLE: CLICK https://x.com/MrReaganUSA/status/1989538382720970765 [1:01] to hear this hyper privileged woman whine about how persecuted she is. “Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out CURLY. When we straighten it to follow YOUR beauty standards, we are TRAPPED by the straightness! That’s why so many of us can’t swim, won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It’s exhausting, expensive and takes up so much time!! Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get outta our hair?!” — Michelle Obama

Are we also responsible for her decision to have her black nose caucasized? This woman needs Jesus.

PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1989620769459245191 [:16] to hear AOC falsely state that Trump had a “close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.” What is horrifying is that AOC can lie and slander so glibly. The emails prove the opposite. In fact, they show top Clinton and Obama officials were Epstein’s friends and associates.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We pray today for those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they will seek You and find peace and eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SCAM CENTER TASK FORCE: [27:30] – U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro explains what the Trump administration is doing to protect us from Chinese crypto-scammers.

SHUTDOWNS: [8:16] – Today’s Democratic Party does want the United States to fail.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1989391689136681001 [2:00] to hear a psychotherapist talk about the 75% of his patients who are “hyper fixated” on Trump. “This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” Colin Rugg posted, “Pray they find God. Politics is their religion and it’s all they have, which is why they have mental breakdowns when things don’t go their way.”

GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AckSKU6IX24 to see what Stella did. A commenter posted, “Kid had a strong spirit, she will go far in life.” Indeed! On her first time out on skis, our #2 took off down the hill before we’d taught her how to snowplow. She face planted into a snow drift at the bottom of the hill, got right back up, and wanted to go again. She is now a wife, a mom, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. military. :-)<3

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Prepare us now for when You return. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BBC: Last week, The Telegraph reported that the BBC’s premiere investigative program, the longest-running in the world, deceptively edited Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, to make it seem like he called for violence at the Capitol.

CLICK https://x.com/realvictorad/status/1987647336508481779 [:21] to hear the BBC version and the original

Both the BBC Director General Tim Davie & News CEO Deborah Turness have been forced to resign. Trump’s lawyers have also sent a letter to the BBC, demanding the network retract “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about Trump that were “fabricated and aired by the BBC”

“Failure to comply will leave President Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to recover damages for the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that the BBC has caused him to suffer, with all rights and remedies being expressly reserved by President Trump.”

CATHOLIC: Please pray a Hail Mary for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.

CORNELL: Cornell University has agreed to pay the federal government a $30 million fine over three years and the DOJ has agreed to stop investigating all the ways the university has violated federal civil rights laws. Federal grants (about $250 million) to the institution will thus be unfrozen.

N.b., I chose the graphic above because it shows the building where Dearest and I first met in January 1979 and where we were joined in holy matrimony on October 13 of that same year.

EVERYDAY HEROES: “Mister, I miss my sisters,” my youngest said that first night. My name’s Marcus, and I grew up in foster care. I still remember the night they split me from my little brother, Aaron. That sound of him crying through the wall never left me. I promised myself that if I ever got the chance, no kid would go through that again. Years later, I became a foster parent. The first children who came were three brothers—Jayden, Malik, and Noah. They were polite, quiet, and scared to unpack. Then I found out they had two sisters, Ava and Chloe, living in different homes across town. That same night, Jayden looked up and said those words: “Mister, I miss my sisters.” I started calling everyone I could—social workers, agencies, judges. I begged until all five kids could live under one roof. The day they walked through my door together, the house finally sounded like home. When the adoption became official, all five stood beside me in court. I looked at them, and I told them, “You’ll never be apart again.”

FIFTY-YEAR MORTGAGES: “This just means your house will be owned by the bank until you die, and after. We don’t need 50 year mortgages. Get the illegal immigrants out of our country. Give America back to Americans.” ~ Matt Walsh

NYC: “Mamdani is going to run out of other people’s money much faster than other communists … because people in NYC are allowed to flee.” ~Nick Freitas

OBAMACARE: [5:17] – Democrats are blaming the sudden and very steep rise in Obamacare premiums on Republicans. But Republicans opposed Obamacare from the start. The shutdown during Trump’s first term was their attempt to scuttle it before it did irreparable damage to our health care system. The Obamacare premium subsidies, which are expiring, were also voted in by Democrats with the expiration date they’re now blaming on Republicans.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord Almighty, we place our nation under Your mighty protection. Defend our borders, our cities, and our people from every form of danger—whether seen or unseen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

PROGRESSIVES: These are the people who keep saying MAGA is a cult.

S&G: One of the largest branches of the German Protestant church has defended a pastor after she blessed a relationship between four men and declared the “polycule” was married “in the eyes of God.”

The event occurred at a “pop-up wedding festival” at the St Paul the Apostle church in Berlin which was offering free blessings for those who wished to avoid “lengthy formalities.”

The pastor said, “You could see right away that there was so much love between them. Why should God have anything against there being four of them rather than two?”

Maybe for the same reason He should have everything against treating marriage like it’s a sideshow carnival attraction.

SECRET SANTA: “Healing is not linear.” [6:10] – May God bless this amazing woman. I need a tissue.

SHUTDOWN: Too bad it took him 42 days too long to remember to stand up for the people who pay his wages.

TENNESSEE: [:35] – In addition to locating and safely returning 101 missing children as of Sunday, Nov. 9, the U.S. Marshals Task Force has arrested 2,342 individuals on various charges, clearing more than 1,000 warrants in 41 days.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us to be still and know You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DEMOCRATS: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has announced she will not seek her 21st term. S’about time. She’s 85 years old! She has been one of the people who helped the globalists move our nation from Reagan to Mamdani. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1986094352951541858 [:24] to get what I mean.

HEALTH CARE: CLICK https://x.com/RealLindellTV/status/1986193403562893789 [1:13] to hear Hakeem Jeffries blame Republicans for the messes Obamacare and their open border freebies created. Democrats never have to take responsibility for the messes they create.

I truly hope all y’all who need to sign up for a new Medicare plan have an easier time of it than we did. They’re swamped and their computer system is glitchy. It took TWO HOURS. We already knew what plan we wanted before we called, so it was just a question of filling out forms. Two. Hours.

NEW YUCK CITY: CLICK https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/1986375146995916854 [:51] to hear from some young women who are so very happy Mamdani won that they’re cheering, “Sharia law starts now.” ::smh::

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, End the shutdown and save us from socialism and Sharia. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SECRET SANTA: [5:06] – Another good one.

SHUTDOWN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/39banyQwmWk to hear Sen. Kennedy describe the two bills he is placing before Congress today. Legislators work for We the People. Their JOB is to do the budgets on time. How DARE they shut down OUR business, because THEY did not do their jobs!! How much more offensive that they continue to draw salaries while the rest of the employees either work for nothing or are on furlough?!?!?!?!

TALK TO THE HAND: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Rz2icYySZDg to hear a short discussion about the real meaning of compassion. Decades ago, I went to a clergy sexual abuse survivors retreat. The woman who specialized in this grueling work called this “entering into your darkness.” I think Jesus’s parable about the lost sheep speaks to this. So do the Works of Mercy. I’ve suffered from people doing this to me, but to be fair, I have also been in a few situations where I had NOTHING spare to offer someone who was hurting and had to push them away to protect myself.

WORST BOOK REVIEW EVER: Free Beacon’s review of Karine Jean-Pierre’s new book is so bad that Glenn Beck read it word-for-word on his show. It starts, “Karine Jean-Pierre can’t stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House press secretary became the highest-ranking openly queer, French-born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden. She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration. It is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language.” You can read the rest at the link.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Inspire in us such confidence in Your Word that we are truly not afraid to die, but look forward to the blessed moment we first meet You face to face. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BALLROOM: The portion of the East Wing that was demolished this month was part of a two-story expansion of the previously much smaller East Wing that was built in 1942 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

GERRYMANDERING: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/710502354776180 to hear Arnold Schwarzenegger give Jake Tapper a history lesson. I need to forgive him for his nasty vaxxx messaging during COVID.

HISTORY: Hitoshi Imamura was a Japanese general during World War II, commanding forces in Southeast Asia, including the Dutch East Indies. Under his leadership, Japanese troops committed numerous atrocities against civilians and prisoners of war. After Japan’s surrender, Imamura was tried by an Allied military tribunal and sentenced to ten years in prison for war crimes. Unlike many of his peers who denied responsibility, Imamura expressed remorse, believing his sentence was too lenient given the suffering inflicted under his command.

In a striking act of personal accountability, Imamura built a replica prison cell in his garden after his release and chose to live there voluntarily until his death in 1968. The cell was austere and modeled after wartime confinement conditions, symbolizing his ongoing penitence. His self-imposed isolation stood in stark contrast to the widespread denial among other convicted officials, offering a rare example of moral reckoning in postwar Japan.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Keep our minds and hearts firmly on the things that matter. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

RACIAL PROFILING: My brother was a CEO in Los Angeles years ago. He said they were legally barred from ever asking anyone about or making a record of individual employees’ races. They were also legally required to match the local racial demographics, department by department, and to report these numbers to the government on a regular basis. The government sent surprise inspectors to tour the facilities and verify the reports were true.

TDS: On Sunday, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) tweeted, “Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.” Meanwhile, the Washington Post has admitted, “Privately, many alumni of the Biden and Obama White Houses acknowledge the long-overdue need for an event space like what Trump is creating. It is absurd that tents need to be erected on the South Lawn for state dinners, and VIPs are forced to use porta-potties.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I suffered a long bout of illness in 2016. Dearest nursed me through it all, picking me up, cleaning me, feeding me. I remember one moment after a fall. He was holding me close as he lifted me off the floor and laid me back into bed. I said, “Most of this sucks. But this, right here, this is really nice.”

As the SUV drifted into another lane on the high-traffic highway, Drake quickly called his mom. She instructed him to climb onto his grandfather’s lap, take the wheel, and carefully brake. Using the little driving experience he had from farm tractors, Drake managed to steer the SUV safely for nearly a mile, pulling it off the highway and calling for help.

Because of his courage, quick thinking, and bravery, Drake saved his grandfather’s life and prevented a potential tragedy. To celebrate his actions, local police honored him with the Citizen Service Award on his 11th birthday.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Student Anna Villines saw a janitor pull an orange from the trash and she realized how much food was being wasted at school. She said, “It struck me that people were hungry in our own school, and here we were throwing away food that could be used.”

She talked to the principal about donating untouched food to a local pantry. That, she learned, wasn’t possible. “He said it would be a violation of health regulations and could affect federal funding for school lunches.” She then learned about a school in Africa where they had set up a community refrigerator where students could place uneaten food for others to take.

A refrigerator was purchased by the school and now it is stocked daily by students who place their unopened fruit, milk, and packaged items inside instead of throwing them away. And by the end of most school days it is empty – people stopping by it to snag something to eat.

“I feel comfort knowing that students in need are able to grab food on the go and nothing gets wasted.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Pour an abundance of comfort on the Kirk family. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ASSASSIN: Tyler Robinson’s family says he had criticized Charlie Kirk, saying he was “full of hate and spreading hate.” The only people saying such things were and are left-wing liberals. Charlie himself was full of God’s love and sought every day to spread that love wherever he went.

She turned her head away and refused to take the papers. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Make us innocent as doves and wise as serpents. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS: [8:21] – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just published a report entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Within the Federal Government.” It recounts a “consistent and systematic pattern of discrimination” against Christians by the Biden administration. The 48-page document is linked below.

In February, President Trump established the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, which is chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The task force is charged with ensuring that “any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified.”

BEWARE of FALST PROPHETS : CLICK https://x.com/DefiantLs/status/1965062570303517018 [:57] to hear a Christian preacher speak nonsense to score political points. Jesus was neither an “illegal immigrant” nor a “refugee.” Israel and Egypt were both part of the Roman Empire. His legal status was defined as a peregrinus, a common-born provincial who, while not a Roman citizen, was under the sovereign control of Rome. This status was not legally equivalent to foreign nationals who are here on valid visas, but it’s similar enough to understand that He was both documented and free to travel.

Today’s Meditation from Christian Art

By Father Patrick van der Vorst

Gospel Reading: Luke 5:33-38

“At that time: The Pharisees and scribes said to him, ‘The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.’ He also told them a parable: ‘No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.'”

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, better known to the world as Mother Teresa. Born in 1910 in Skopje (present-day North Macedonia), she entered the Loreto Sisters in Ireland as a young woman and soon moved to India, where she taught at a girls’ school in Calcutta. In 1946, during a train journey, she experienced what she later described as a “call within a call”: the deep conviction that Jesus was asking her to leave the security of her convent and dedicate herself to serving the poorest of the poor. With nothing but a simple white sari and a heart full of faith, she began walking the streets of Calcutta, tending to the sick, abandoned, and dying.

In time, others joined her, and the Missionaries of Charity were founded, growing into a worldwide order dedicated to serving the poor, sick and vulnerable. Mother Teresa became a global symbol of compassion, not because of great speeches or grand buildings, but because of her radical closeness to those whom society had cast aside. She tended wounds, lifted dying bodies off the streets, and reminded the forgotten that they were beloved children of God. For her, each suffering person was “Jesus in a distressing disguise” as she referred to. Her life was a living testimony that holiness is not found in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things with extraordinary love to ordinary people.

The Gospel for today speaks of the “new wine” of Jesus’ teaching that cannot be contained by old wineskins. Mother Teresa’s vocation was just such a new wine. She left behind the old wineskin of convent life and poured herself completely into the new mission God gave her. Her witness reminds us that the Gospel is always fresh, always challenging, always pushing us beyond comfort and convention. Like the new wine, God’s call can burst open our old patterns, leading us into unexpected places where His love is most needed.

Our watercolour by American artist John Alan Warford is beautiful in its simplicity: a tender, intimate scene of Mother Teresa gently tending to the wounds of a sick person.
