DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, As we rush through the countdown days until Christmas Eve, we ask that you help us keep our minds and hearts fixed on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CATHOLIC: [2:39] – I saw a documentary once about these small shrines. The custom began in Europe and was brought to the states where Catholic immigrants built them in their often-tiny front yards.

CONNECTICUT: Rep. Rosa DeLauro has been representing the third district (New Haven) for 23 years. Despite being 81 years old, she was just elected for yet another term. She is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee. The banner on her government web page shows her with a teacher and some little kids; everybody is masked. Her net worth is $30 million.

My favorite comment on the clip: “Who can expect people to take you seriously when you present yourself in this manner. A member of Congress. Seriously?” – Carol Tisdale

EDUCATION: Lame duck Biden has thrown in the towel on student loan forgiveness and on forcing schools to accept mtf trannies on girls’ teams. And an Ohio school district has lost an English teacher’s pronouns lawsuit. Two years ago, Jackson Memorial Middle School fired English teacher Vivian Geraghty for choosing her Christian faith and proper English over affirming two trans students. The district will be coughing up a $450,000 settlement.

FAUXTUS: [4:01] – Last Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published a piece called, “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.” It was obvious to the 2020 campaign that Joe Biden was unfit for the office.

JOBS: Under the Biden administration, good jobs reports have gotten headlines, but when the numbers were later revised downward, the media mostly ignored it. In 2022, Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics overstated job creation by more than 1 million. In 2023, revised employment growth down by 443,000 jobs, which was over 40% of payroll growth. This year, the Biden administration puffed up their initial job growth numbers by 3 million.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: Somebody has twice beheaded the goat god statue the Satanic Temple put up in front of the New Hampshire State Capitol. It has been repaired again. I’m personally opposed to using vandalism to fight spiritual wars. It would be far more effective to do binding prayers and pray the rosary.

PRIORITIES: ::smh::

2024: CLICK https://rumble.com/v5rchr2-donald-trump-just-released-his-most-epic-hype-video-yet.html [1:13] to just bask in the feel good.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5ZpM36QfC3s and listen well. You will not feel the same way about Mass ever again … unless you already knew this, which I did not.

DEI: This crap should DIE. – Georgetown Law denied a student’s request to delay or take her exam at home, due to the fact that her newborn was only a few days old. The school told her that would not be possible, because it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class. Instead, they suggested the new mother bring her days-old child to campus to take the exam with more time, so she could pause to breastfeed during the exam. They told her, “Motherhood is not for the Faint of Heart.” This is a violation of Title IX, something you might think that a LAW SCHOOL would know. When outraged students pushed back, the school relented. What a clown show. I can’t help wondering how many abortions the people who refused to accommodate this student have had or financed. Cuz, dayum, that is a lot of hate!

FLUORIDE: Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo issued new guidance on Nov. 22, advising against the long-standing practice of adding fluoride to the public drinking water supply.

“Adding fluoride to water increases the risk of neuropsychiatric disease in children and reduces their IQ,” Ladapo said in a post on X. “We can strengthen teeth without consuming this neurotoxin.”

I am grateful my community nixed the idea. I remembering writing a letter to the editor pointing out that the vast majority of the water we use is for washing and flushing, not drinking and that kids who are seeing pediatricians regularly are offered fluoride supplements if the parents want them. Moreover, the poor kids who do not get such care are also the ones least likely to drink water; however, they are the most likely to be taken to the county’s free vaccine clinics. I suggested it would be more cost effective to use a tiny fraction of the proposed fluoridation money to provide free fluoride drops at those clinics. Our dentist was also vehemently opposed, pointing out that fluoride is commonly used as a rat poison. They dropped the plan.

JAGUAR: CLICK https://x.com/Jaguar/status/1858800846646948155 [:30] to see Jaguar’s new ad. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1588453321878128 to hear Nick Freitas’ hilarious comment on it.

LAW: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1LKwxMeE8rY to hear your rights re: police demanding to come into your home. I don’t understand where the FBI got off storming Mar-a-Lago and refusing to show Trump’s lawyer the warrant.

SEC AG: Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in his administration.

“Brooke’s commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none. As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country.”

Rollins grew up in a farming family in Glen Rose, Texas. She participated in Future Farmers of America and 4H. She studied agriculture development at Texas A&M University and worked in the first Trump administration, then went on to become the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute.

THE VIEW: CLICK https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1859994465051492674 [:32] to see Sonny Hostin eat crow for the second and third times last week. N.b., Joy Behar interrupts the legal note to make more baseless and defamatory attacks. ::smh::

In 2022, Newsbusters reported the “harpies on The Spew” (not my line, but too good not to steal) were forced to issue three dozen such notes over that one year. Hostin responded on air to the report, saying that legal notes are not an admission of error, but insulation from legal liability.

Speaking of legal liability, CLICK https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1526980042005352449 [1:04] to hear what she did to her boyfriend. One must wonder why he subsequently married her.

GRAMMY NOTES: I have found a way to embrace the dark parts of my life. The best hero stories are the ones with the worst villains. And in painting, you can only show bright light by including dark shadows. (Painting by moi.)
