DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us to know You, to love You, and to serve You in true humility. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DIVERSITY: The Supremes have ruled unanimously in favor of a straight woman in Ohio who filed a “reverse discrimination” lawsuit against her employer when her gay boss declined to promote her. Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the opinion for the court. The ruling will make it easier to win such suits in some parts of the country.

ELON AND DONALD: This week, “Uncle Elon” started posting highly critical remarks on X about the GOP’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

Trump told reporters he felt blindsided by Musk’s opposition to the bill and suggested it might have been driven by the elimination of an EV mandate.

Musk says, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51–49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.”

Trump says, “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.”

FAUXTUS: Trump has ordered an investigation into Biden’s health, the coverup, and who exactly was running things at the White House. The investigation is to be led by White House counsel David Warrington in coordination with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Biden told Politico, “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

FBI: [15:10] – FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino talks about Epstein, COVID, Mar-a-Lago, Crossfire Hurricane, cocaine in the White House, and more.

KJP: Up until two days ago, anyone who criticized Biden’s press secretary was slandered as a racist, homophobic woman hater. But since her book announcement, her former White House colleagues have been telling reporters they always hated her.

One person who worked closely with KJP said she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers. She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved.”

SCIENCE: Popular Mechanics just published an article suggesting that the scientific consensus on one issue may be wrong. Of course, they’re not talking about manmade climate change, cuz we all know fershure that that science is totally settled.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have unanimously overturned a lower court decision against Catholic Charities’ claim that they should be exempt from unemployment tax.

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1930371654015975488 [3:28] to hear Noah call his four years as a “female” was “the single worst mistake I’ve made in my life. … I feel like a tree that grew the wrong way.”

WASHINGTON: Law enforcement agencies dismantled what they call the largest and most dangerous drug trafficking organization in the Seattle area. The organization trafficked large amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl from California into Washington. The investigation, which dates back to November 2023, seized narcotics with a street value of nearly $3 million. Officials say the volume of fentanyl alone was enough to kill Seattle’s population twice over.

DAILY PRAYER: Amen.

BORDER: [3:38] – ::smh:: over stupid Massatwoshits’ coddling of criminals. Not that New Yuck State is any better. ::sigh::

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1055852919820446 and https://www.facebook.com/reel/2060850404397164 to hear Patrick Coffin outline the encouraging things Pope Leo has done so far.

CRIME: Homicides in the U.S. have dropped by more than 20% from 2024.

ECONOMY: The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office in January. CNBC reports other great numbers for Trump’s first four months. The inflation rate is down and lower than expected, personal income is up and almost triple the expectations, and our international trade deficit is half what it was.

AUTOPEN: CLICK https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1930307585640673425 to hear Peter Doocy explain how he looked closely at every document “President” Biden had “signed” and found all 162 executive orders, 242 memoranda, and 725 proclamations bear identical autopen signatures. In four years, Biden hand-signed a single document, the letter he wrote in 2024 when he dropped out of the race. Unelected bureaucrats clearly controlled the autopen.

DOGE: Over the last two days, agencies terminated 61 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $255 million.

FBI: Director Patel announced on X that a Chinese national has been arrested for smuggling a dangerous fungus called “Fusarium graminearum” into the U.S. The fungus, which can cause a disease called “head blight” in wheat, barley, maize (corn), and rice, is considered an agroterrorism agent.

FRAUD: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged six people for stealing $66 million from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, aka, food stamps). One of the six is (was?) a USDA employee. The scheme began in 2019 which amounts to something like $11 million per year. Wow.

KJP: FAUXTUS’ press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, has a new book coming out in October entitled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.” I’m sure there are some who will choose to forget the central role she played in perpetuating the coverup. I am not one of them.

TRANS: Actor Jonathan Joss was murdered by a neighbor with whom he had long been feuding. Jonathan’s so-called “husband” of three months (a biological woman who “identifies” as a man) is proclaiming the shooting was a “homophobic hate crime.” The police, who have the shooter in custody, say there is no evidence to support calling it a “hate crime.” Their records show Joss had exhibited threatening and bizarre behaviors for years, leading to police being called by concerned neighbors more than 40 times. Neighbors say Joss was a violent man who had recently burned his house down trying to set up a meth lab inside. ::smh::

WINNING: Matt Walsh posted, “Five years ago every major corporation in the country spent the entire month of June shoving LGBT propaganda in our faces. Today Pride Month is in shambles. This change did not happen by accident. It’s the result of a strategic campaign by some of us on the Right. This is a real win. We should acknowledge that and celebrate it.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this on Facebook – “I babysit my talkative 3 year old grandson, who continually puts me in hysterics. I asked him the other day where mommy went. He replied ‘she’s feeding the baby but I can’t tell you because boobies are private.’”

I replied – “My father-in-law was extremely strait-laced, so when my eldest was at the age to become curious about gender differences, I decided to have a talk with her about NOT EVER asking Grandfather if he had a penis. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bathroom. ‘That’s a potty word. We have to talk in here.’“

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please show each of us our sins as You see them, that we may repent and grow in humility and holiness. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: ICE has started to go after employers who illegally employ illegals. CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1928831662256804154 [:51] to see them round up illegals working for a Florida subcontractor. CLICK https://x.com/AmericaPapaBear/status/1928824018703884403 [1:12] to see them at a restaurant in San Diego.

I’m curious if any of the Dems who are outraged care about Americans who can’t find jobs? Those that even mention the issue go with “Oh noes! Prices will increase if employers have to pay their employees American wages!” N.b., these are the same people who demand the minimum wage be hiked!

DINO to RINO: I’m unimpressed by Dems who have just now noticed their party “left them.” If they had an ounce of integrity, they would’ve switched when it would’ve cost them something, not now when Trump is ascendant.

ELLEMENOHPEE: Mama Buzz says, ““It’s like Pluto losing planetary status all over again!”

FAKE NEWS: CLICK https://x.com/magafirearmstec/status/1929171617197731934 [1:37] to hear yet another montage of the legacy news media parroting the exact same talking points. I remember some years ago that someone leaked the fact that all of these people belong to the same secretive email list. It caused a brief brouhaha, which resulted in them “shutting down” the offending group. Obviously, all they did was vet the list and start a new one, minus anyone they thought might blow the whistle on them.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1928839763248787522 [:32] to hear Senator Josh Hawley [R-MO] report on what a member of Biden’s SS detail told him a year ago.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/CharlieSigs/status/1928970373757870153 to see Sen. Corey Booker [:02] do the “my heart goes out to/I love you” gesture that the Left Stream Media is ignoring. They and Booker and countless other Dems swore themselves blue that, when Elon Musk did it, it was a Nazi salute. My mother (born 1914) said they held their arms out straight during the Pledge of Allegiance in school … until Hitler, then it was switched to hand on heart.

Grok wrote, “The difference in media coverage of Elon Musk’s and Cory Booker’s gestures likely stems from context and political framing. Musk’s gesture at Trump’s inauguration, a global event, was more pronounced and seen as provocative, drawing intense scrutiny from left-leaning media. Booker’s gesture at a Democratic convention was less forceful, viewed by some as a wave, and received minimal mainstream attention. Political affiliations also play a role: Musk, tied to conservative views, faced harsher criticism, while Booker, a Democrat, did not. Some see this as media bias; others argue it reflects event significance and gesture differences. The debate remains unresolved.”

CLICK https://x.com/stillgray/status/1929070220921942470 to see the two salutes side-by-side.

I’m thinking that Elon’s gesture was more emphatic, because he actually feels the love he’s expressing for his audience. He’s shown it in the sacrifices he has made. Booker and his ilk have all profited from their ‘love’ for their constituents.

PRAYERS FOR DJ: “We’re lifting up Agent DJ Daniel in prayer after his dad, Theodis, shared that DJ is now facing three new tumors. DJ is one of the strongest, bravest young men—and has now been sworn into 1,351 law enforcement agencies across the country. Agent Daniel, you’re a true legend.” – President Donald J . Trump

PRIDE: Good.

THEY/THEM-OCRATS: They used to wear white hoods to hide their commitment to evil. Now they dress it up with flowers.

VAXXX: Bashaw, who was convicted but given no prison sentence, had previously worked as an entomologist at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland and commanded the headquarters company for the Army Public Health Center.

GRAMMY NOTES: Pumpkin is a squash. Squash is good for you. Therefore, eating too much pumpkin pie is a virtue.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to see and smell all the roses among the thorns. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: While most of the Chinese students and researchers are in the United States for legitimate academic reasons, some of them are here to spy on us and steal intellectual property. On May 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced we will begin to “aggressively revoke” the visas of Chinese students who pose a threat and will be giving stricter scrutiny of future visa applications from China and Hong Kong.

CHINA: U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer says China has been “slow rolling their compliance” with the May 12 trade agreement, “which is completely unacceptable.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says, “I am confident that the Chinese will come to the table when President Trump makes his preferences known.”

COURTS: A federal judge has ruled that DOGE employees who have satisfied the Training, Vetting and Mitigation Procedures may access the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which is used by the federal government to distribute trillions of dollars in payments. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Democratic-led states.

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump has the authority to rescind the temporary legal status the Biden administration gave half a million “refugees” they had flown here to reduce the numbers being recorded coming across the border.

ECONOMY: Core inflation has dropped to its lowest rate in four years. Hmm … four years.

ELON: Thank you for your service, Mr. Musk.

FAFO: Megha Vemuri, the 2025 class president of MIT, gave a pro-Palestine/anti-Israel speech in which she accused her alma mater of promoting genocide. A day later, she was told she would not be allowed to participate in Friday’s graduation ceremony.

FBI: CLICK https://rumble.com/v6u1srt-bongino-shares-the-unbelievable-discovery-at-fbi-from-the-james-comey-era.html [1:31] to hear Deputy Director Dan Bongino talk about the boxes of stuff they found. When I googled to get Bongino’s correct title, I got a taste of how the Laughing Stock Media are covering Bongino. I won’t waste your time; it’s what you would expect.

HAMAS: Israeli Omer Shem Tov, who was freed in February after spending 505 days in Hamas captivity, told CNN that his captors desperately wanted Kamala Harris to win the 2024 election. “They were very scared of him. … [A]s soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wanted to bring us back home. … When Trump became president, … they started giving [me] more food. … Stopped cursing me. They stopped spitting on me.”

HHS: Bobby Jr. has canceled a $766 million federal contract with Moderna for experimental mRNA-based H5N1 bird flu vaccine.

ICE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials took 40 people into custody on Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard; they included MS-13 gang members, as well as at least one child sex offender. The Coasties helped to safely and efficiently remove them from the islands.

JAKE TAPPER: CLICK https://x.com/BonillaJL/status/1926678379836670196 [3:50] to listen to Speaker Johnson’s response to Tapper’s attempt to act like a journalist. I used to respect Tapper. I dunno if I was just naive or if he sold out.

GALLUP’s latest poll asking, “How much confidence do you have in television news?” netted t.v.’s talking heads a minus 44 rating, with only 12% of respondents choosing “a great deal” or “quite a lot” vs. 56% choosing “very little” or “none.”

CLICK https://x.com/BreitbartNews/status/1928475916604203211 [1:21] to hear how the leftist media talks to Trump’s people. Maybe if these jerks had talked to Biden’s people like this, they wouldn’t need to be trying to blame the Biden White House for not telling them the president was a vegetable.

MIDDLE EAST: Last July, Israel took out Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas’s military wing.

Last October, they took out Yahya Sinwar, who was the leader of Hamas at the time and the mastermind behind Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.

This week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced they have eliminated Mohammed Sinwar, who had succeeded his brother.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless our veterans in Purgatory and have mercy on them. Be not harsh in your judgment, but send angels to escort them to a place of refreshment. We ask this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

EULOGY: “Phil Robertson was an American icon and an inspiring hero to millions of Americans. Phil grew up impoverished in a house without electricity or a toilet, but became a brilliant entrepreneur. Phil was married to his high school sweetheart Kay for nearly sixty years. After an initial rocky period in their relationship due to alcohol and infidelity, Phil rededicated his life to Christ and witnessed to his faith the rest of his life. Phil and Kay raised an incredible family of four sons, 16 grandchildren and many more great-grandchildren. All the way back in 2013, when the woke era was first getting started, Phil offered a masterclass in how to overcome an attempted cancellation. Phil told GQ magazine he thought homosexuality was sinful. A&E tried to kick him off his own show, but he never apologized or backed down, and A&E soon had to bring him back. Phil was also the rare celebrity who was a proud warrior for the unborn. Rest in peace.” – Charlie Kirk

FBI: Dan Bongino posted a progress report to X in which he says they are working on the DC pipe bombing investigation, as well as the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We beg You to open our hearts and minds to see beyond skin color. Where we are called to make judgments, let us look to character. And where we are not called to judge, let us shut up and keep scrolling. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AIR FORCE: Canceling eight wasteful contracts will save We the Taxpayers several billion dollar$.

AVIATION HISTORY: On March 12, 1985, a small aircraft with a jammed landing gear was saved in mid-flight by a mechanic who stood through the sunroof of a car going 90 mph. The daring rescue took place on a runway in St. Augustine, Florida, and remains one of the most unbelievable moments in aviation history.

BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL: Follow the links to read about some of the golden nuggets buried in this enormous bill.

BORDER: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has just rolled out a new update to its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The program provides a single, reliable source for verifying immigration status and U.S. The update will help eliminate voter fraud.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR: The DoL currently has 16,800 licenses for phone lines, but in the last 30 days only 4,000 were used (24%). Canceling the unused lines will save We the Taxpayers about half a million dollars per year.

DOGE: Over the last two days, agencies terminated 120 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $908 million. Almost half of that was for “technical services” in Mozambique.

The U.S. Census Bureau has done more than 100 additional surveys costing $2.2 Billion, many of which were never used. So far, five of them have been canceled, saving We the Taxpayers from spending $16.5 million to ask Americans stupid questions like, “In your entire life, have you had at least 12 drinks of any kind of alcohol, not counting small tastes or sips?”

DUMBOCRATS: Letitia James now says she “mistakenly” claimed Virginia residency in loan documents. Just like Comey says he “found” the 8647 seashells on the sea shore and had no idea what they meant.

EDUCATION: Trump is deadly serious about ending discrimination. Since Harvard has refused to comply with multiple DHS requests for information about its DEI initiatives and foreign student population’s harassment of Jewish students, Kristi Noem has issued an ultimatum. Harvard has 72 hours to comply or the ax falls. NO foreign students will be granted F- or J- non-immigrant visas. Period. CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1925625458487369729 to see her letter. Aaaaand, some activist judge slaps on an injunction in 3 … 2 … 1.

MAHA: CLICK https://x.com/devorydarkins/status/1925608481198850375 [2:12] to hear about Bobby Jr’s report on chronic illness in America’s children.

MEDICARE: The government, which is 7 years behind on its required audits of Medicare Advantage plans, will be caught up by the end of this year. Since various reports estimate overbilling at between $17 and $43 billion per year, these audits should result in billions of taxpayer dollars returned to the Treasury. Hmm … I remember the Biden administration hiring thousands of extra IRS staff to go after transfers as low as $600 … but they totally ignored billions in fraud? Sounds about right.

NO KO: According to CBS News, the brand new 5,000-ton-class destroyer “became unbalanced and was punctured in its bottom sections after a transport cradle on the stern section slid off first and became stuck.” Little Rocketman said, “This was a serious accident that could not have happened, could not be tolerated, and was a criminal act caused by pure carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism.”

NORTH CAROLINA: Charlotte City Councilwoman Tiawana Brown and her daughters, Antoinette and Tijema, have been indicted on federal charges of fraudulent use of COVID loans intended to support small businesses through the lockdowns.

The indictment says $15,000 of that money went to pay for a birthday party for Tiawana Brown. Word has it the party included a throne and a horse-drawn carriage. Brown says she paid the money back. Before serving on the City Council, Brown served four years in federal prison for fraud. She is also the founder of Beauty after the Bars(501c3), an advocacy organization committed to helping formerly incarcerated women.

SOCIAL SECURITY: After 11 weeks, the massive cleanup of Social Security records is complete. More than 12 million individuals aged 120+ years have been marked “deceased.” Some complex cases remain, such as individuals with 2+ different birth dates on file. These will be investigated in a follow-up effort.

One commenter on X wrote, “I worked for a Fortune 100 company. We set up an intelligence center where we would monitor global events for our assets and push out messages and warnings to employees based on where they were. We covered SA for a while. But we stopped because the events against farmers happened so frequently that they were tripping our thresholds and we were sending out too many messages to employees there. … It was 2016.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Yes.

FELONY: Threats against the president are a federal felony. – 18 U.S. Code § 871 states, “Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”

MENTAL HEALTH: [8:12] – Recently, I saw an interview with “The Quilting Marine” in which he talked about how making a baby quilt for his new grandson had unexpectedly helped reduce his PTSD symptoms. There is another veteran who calls himself “The Combat Quilter” who tells a similar story. These guys made me wonder if my PTSD is a big part of why I love making quilts so much.

Shell Game

In September 2013, James Comey was appointed by Barack Obama to the position of Director of the FBI. On May 9, 2017, Donald Trump fired him. Despite having held this powerful position for four years, Comey’s X profile (@comey) says only, “Author of legal thrillers (latest, FDR Drive, out May 20th). Husband, father, pop. Lawyer, teacher, speaker. Taller and funnier in person.”

On May 15, 2025, James Comey posted the photo above to his Instagram account. He wrote that it was a “cool formation I saw on my beach walk.” “86” is slang meaning to “get rid of.” It can refer to anything from throwing out spoiled food to murdering someone. “47” is a reference to the current President of the United States.

After setting off a firestorm, Comey disingenuously posted the above. He was the FBI Director for four years, but doesn’t know what 86 means? Puh-leeze.

The kindest thing I can think is that he has a book coming out this week. If you didn’t know before, you do now. Senator Josh Hawley [MO-R] wasn’t amused.

Neither were these people …

Ed Krassenstein, whose bio suggests he has built his “career” largely on posting anti-Trump crap, jumped on the “86 47” wagon and posted his own version. Like Comey, he got a visit from the Secret Service.

Liberals are busy pointing out stuff like this. I think there is a significant difference between “86 46” and “86 47” which is that nobody ever took a shot at Joe Biden.

DOGE: A National Science Foundation grant for more than $800,000 has been canceled. The money was being used to train college science and math education majors how to promote “social justice” and “cultural responsiveness” in their classrooms.

Another $8.4 million has been saved by canceling three DEI training programs.

A further $198 million was saved by terminating 148 wasteful contracts, including one at HHS for “potency monitoring of confiscated marijuana samples.”

HORSE HISTORY: Every horse that ran in the Kentucky Derby is a direct descendant of Secretariat, who won the 1973 Belmont Stakes by an incredible 31 lengths.

HYPOCRITES: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1363860088066886 [:54] to hear Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden support work requirements for welfare recipients.

INDIA vs. PAKISTAN: In April, 26 male tourists were killed in a terrorist attack in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. Early today, India responded with airstrikes against terrorists in Pakistan-controlled territory.

MEDIA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U5wMAYX0PEs to hear yet another montage of sound-alike legacy news reports.

REAL ID: Starting today, you must have a REAL ID or a compliant document before boarding a domestic flight. Usually, a REAL ID takes the form of a driver’s license or a non-driver photo ID card issued by a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent. States may issue such documents even if they are not REAL IDs. If your document is also a REAL ID, this is indicated by the presence of a black or gold star in the top corner of the plastic card.

At present, every state, the District of Columbia, and federal territory issues driver’s licenses and non-driver ID cards that are REAL IDs. Some also issue non-REAL ID cards to citizens and residents. These non-REAL ID cards are often cheaper to obtain and do not require as many supporting documents, making them attractive to individuals who merely want a license or ID for everyday purposes. They are also regularly issued to illegal immigrants by some states.

Usually, these non-REAL ID documents will have a notation that reads “Not Valid for Federal Purposes” or an equivalent and will not bear the required black or gold star.

REPARATIONS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1gg_G9Gd0Pw to hear a black supremacist tell us why he “deserves” a million dollars. The way I understand it, President Lincoln gave his ancestor who was actually a slave 40 acres and a mule. Why does anyone owe this joker, who was never a slave, anything?!

SCOTUS: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an “unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy.”

The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down. Litigation continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1919930354359472325 [:59] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919993052619321836 [2:32] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919584968570720291 [:40] to see clips from protests outside a Riley Gaines speaking engagement at University of Washington.

Bits & Bytes

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to trust that, even where You allow us to make sinful choices, You are simultaneously working all things “for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: Trump has created a second military zone along our southern border, a 63-mile stretch that runs east from the Texas-New Mexico state line in El Paso they’re calling the “Texas National Defense Area.”

ECONOMICS: It’s an odd take, them bitching that he is enriching his friends when one of his closest buddies, Elon Musk, is not only working at DOGE for free, but also losing $$ big time as the Left’s attacks on Tesla damage sales and stock prices.

EDUCATION: In other news, Trump has signed an executive order ending federal funding of the allegedly educational, but mostly left-biased NPR and PBS.

HARRIS: On Thursday, nominations were announced for the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Among them was an “Outstanding Editing” nod to the interview “60 Minutes” did with Kamala Harris during the campaign.

In case you’ve forgotten, this was the interview during which CBS chose to edit out a terrible “word salad” answer Harris had given and substitute a more coherent one she had given to a different question. This would also be the interview that has Trump suing CBS News and the one that inspired the show’s executive producer to quit.

Speaking of Kamala speaking … I don’t want to listen to her, but if you do, there are clips of her recent speech @ https://notthebee.com/article/kamala-harris-is-still-most-definitely-kamala-harris.

MEDIA: The Left have always hated the military and Fox News, so Pete has a natural advantage over two guys they used to lurve.

SLIPPERY SLOPE: Satan hates marriage and family, so the assault continues. A recent court ruling in Quebec has granted multi-parental families in the province the same legal rights as any other unit.

SMH: The Atlantic just published this article about how Hitler liked tariffs too.

WHITE HOUSE WIRE: The media refuses to cover them honestly, so they’re doing it themselves.

GRAMMY NOTES: Plus there’s the whole problem with “the world” being temporal, so any comfort you might get by selling your soul will end up earning you an eternity of torment.
