CATHOLIC: On Friday, Oct. 10, a man whose identity has not been revealed was arrested by security guards after he climbed onto the Altar of the Confession, located under Bernini’s baldachin, and urinated on it while tourists looked on in astonishment. In February of this year, a man severely damaged part of the main altar, breaking several candelabras. In June 2023, an individual of Polish origin stripped naked in the same place.

Lara Logan comments, “Wow. The swagger is gone. You are looking at a man in the grip fear. Regardless of what we think, he knows what he has done.” Yep. Note the body language. Crossed arms and crossed legs, which often indicate defensiveness or discomfort in a conversation.

OPERATION SUMMER HEAT: [20:35] – More winning!

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless the Republican Party with the graces needed to protect and defend the Constitution, while resisting the lures of power. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SCOFFLAW: NY Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted for mortgage fraud for having claimed a house in Virginia as her primary residence for the purposes of obtaining a more favorable loan. In June 2025, a relative of James named Nakia Thompson (left) testified before a federal grand jury that she has occupied the property for years with her three children, that she neither pays rent nor contributes to maintenance and that James visits several times a year.

While it may be commendable of James to provide housing to her needy relatives, it should be pointed out that, as an attorney, Letitia James took an oath to uphold the law. Nakia Thompson (36) has a long history of criminal violations, including burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools, and child endangerment-related traffic offenses.

Because she is wanted in North Carolina for parole violations, AG Letitia “No one is above the law” James has been harboring a wanted fugitive. N.b., while this accusation has not been proven in court, it has been substantiated by court documents, probation records, and grand jury testimony.

SHUTDOWN: Dems keep yapping that their no vote on the CR is all about health insurance subsidies. They never mention the rest of the $1.5 trillion in spending they packed into their demands. CLICK https://x.com/theblaze/status/1978118352116588637 [:55] to hear just a few line items.

Best comment: “How is it even legal to give away money when we are so far in debt? No foreign aid until our debts are paid off.” ITA. Until we are debt-free, every dime morally belongs to our creditors.

TRANS: Non-conforming sexual identifications peaked in 2023 and have dropped sharply since, along with depression and anxiety. Self-identified heterosexuality has increased.

TRUMP: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FKV60v1WWcM to hear two stories about Trump from years ago.

GRAMMY NOTES: My favorite comment on the video is “Today, we’re watching this on our phones.” [9:50] – I was born the year this was made. Dearest remembers when his home phone was on a party line with an operator. I am younger than he is and I grew up in a bigger town, so my oldest telephone memory was when our four digit phone number was changed to seven digits … right after my father had bought a case of matchbooks printed with his business name and our now-defunct four digit number. We finally used up the last of those matches around the time I graduated from high school. My siblings were like, “What do you mean there’s no matches?! There’s always matches!” LOL

EVERYDAY HEROES: On July 15, while driving on Interstate 75 near Resaca, Georgia, Hugh Cox passed out behind the wheel of his SUV due to a diabetic coma. His 10-year-old grandson, Drake, was the only passenger in the car.

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.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Awaken our nation and bring us all to our knees. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Jesus told us, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own” (Matthew 6:34). Whenever an anxious “what if” rises up, let us pause to remember that, with You, the story always ends in hope. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DEPO-PROVERA: These popular birth control shots have been in use since 1960.

Professor Khubchandani is Associate Professor of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies at Tufts University. The F.O. Matthiessen Visiting Professorship of Gender and Sexuality is an endowment that enables Harvard to invite eminent scholars of sexuality to teach in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

EVERYDAY HEROES: I went through the Burger King drive-through (no judging it’s all I had time for) to pick up a sandwich.

The voice over the intercom asked me quite kindly, “What would you like to eat today?”

I answered, quite honestly, “Well if you’re asking, I’d like to have a steak, medium rare, a loaded baked potato, and a side of lobster bisque.”

Immediately I heard two or three voices burst out and laughter, and the voice on the intercom said, “Me too!”

I placed my menu-accurate order and when I pulled around to pick it up the receipt had this drawing on it.

Don’t forget, in the daily grind of life, to take time to make someone smile, you never know how that will make you smile in return.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You in ALL circumstances and in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

ASTROTURF: [4:48] – Independent journalist Nate Friedman has revealed the link between a professional protester and the Democrat Party’s fundraising platform, ActBlue.

CHARLIE KIRK: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1157611495924027 to hear him calmly debate an angry, combative young woman on democracy and the value of higher education.

EVERYDAY HEROES: “’You’ll ruin your future,’ my dad said when I told him my girlfriend was pregnant. My dad was loud about it, but rent was louder, so I grabbed night shifts and kept my classes. Emily—then my girlfriend, later my wife—and I rented a tiny place off campus with thin walls and a secondhand crib that creaked when I rocked it. I printed notes at 2 a.m., packed bottles at 6, and pushed Lily’s stroller past freshmen yawning on the steps. A professor frowned at the stroller; I stood in the back and finished the presentation while Lily colored on my handouts. When daycare fell through, I studied in the parking lot while she slept in the backseat, and the dashboard clock blinked. On my graduation day, I held Lily in one arm and my diploma in the other; Emily cried and laughed in the same breath. Twenty years later, Emily squeezed my hand, I held flowers, and we watched Lily cross that same stage.”

LITERACY: I saw a post on Facebook about a “book vending machine” in a school and had to google. I’ve never heard of them before. Kids can buy books with tokens they earn for good behavior. What a wonderful idea!

POST TRAUMA GROWTH: Yes! We had to CHOOSE to USE the trauma to become who we are now. And then we had to work our butts off to make it happen. But for me, the choice was a no brainer. I mean, if you get stuck in mud, would you just sit there forever?! No, you get out and get the help you need to move past it and live again.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Fill our leaders with Your wisdom and lead them in justice and truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

GRAMMY NOTES: [3:08] – Years ago, my mother decided to make a bouquet of the last roses of the season in her garden and take them to a woman she knew at the local TB sanitorium. When she walked in the door, the woman burst into tears saying, “Today is the 9th day of my novena to St. Therese!”

EXORCIST: [10:49] – I’m particularly struck by Father Ripperger’s point about schadenfreude, which I’ve mentioned several times is a sin. Definition: Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else’s misfortune. Delight in another person’s misfortune.

JAMES COMEY: In 2004, Martha Stewart was convicted in 2004 for lying to federal investigators about her sale of ImClone Systems stock, which she sold just before a negative FDA announcement that caused its value to drop. When insider trading charges didn’t stick, the prosecution switched to charging her with obstruction of justice.

In 2003, when charges were initially filed against Martha Stewart, her attorney suggested the charges had been filed “for publicity purposes or because Martha is a celebrity.” But then-U.S. Attorney James Comey, the man behind the case, said it was “lying to the FBI, lying to the SEC and investors. That is conduct that will not be tolerated. Martha Stewart is being prosecuted not because of who she is, but what she did.”

James Comey, who was reportedly very proud of making himself famous for putting the first female billionaire behind bars, has now been indicted on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless all the teachers in a special way today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

CHARLIE KIRK: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tFo3sXZaZ6s [2:52] to hear Charlie on racism. IMO, two things show how absurd racism is. One is a biracial couple in England who have had two sets of twins; both sets have one white and one black child. The other is cross-racial organ donation. Organ donors have to match recipients so closely that often family members can’t donate, yet blacks and whites have been both donors and recipients of each others organs. QED.

EDUCATION: [5:11] – I’m glad I was able to go to college, especially since I finished free of debt, but strictly speaking, I didn’t need it to be an artist and a homemaker. My husband, however, is an architect, so yeah, college. When Dearest was struggling to get his career started, we bumped into a guy from my old neighborhood who had apprenticed in a trade after high school. We were living in a really crappy apartment, barely making ends meet while we paid off Dearest’s college loans. Eddie was a master mason who owned two houses.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Posted by Save the Storks FB – “Shaye came to a Save the Storks partner pregnancy clinic–Pregnancy Center of Rockford– after walking from a nearby hotel where she and her two young children had just been placed by a local organization. She thought she might be 20 weeks pregnant and came in for a pregnancy test and ultrasound—but it quickly became clear she needed more than medical care.

“As she opened up to her client advocate, Shaye shared that they were fleeing abuse and barely surviving. With so much instability, she wasn’t sure she could keep the baby—not because she didn’t care, but because she did. She asked if adoption was an option. Her advocate gently assured her that they could connect her to a supportive, no-pressure agency where she would remain in control of every decision. The relief on her face was immediate.

“Before she left, the clinic gave her gift cards, pull-ups, food, and hygiene items—things she and her kids urgently needed. She had come in anxious and overwhelmed, but she left with a plan, a sense of peace, and the knowledge that she wasn’t alone. Hope started to grow where fear had taken root.”

“On the plane, I was barely holding it together. And then… an angel showed up. A stranger named John noticed I was struggling. He asked the flight attendant for a barf bag, then held and fed my baby the ENTIRE flight so I could close my eyes and actually rest.

“I’ll never forget that kind of kindness. In a world where people rush past each other, John reminded me that goodness is alive and well. Not all heroes wear capes—sometimes they just carry your baby so you can breathe again.

“Thank you, John. You’ll forever be one of my angels.” – Posted by Julie Smith

HYPOCRITES: Kamala Harris called Kimmel’s firing “an outright abuse of power” by “this administration” and Adam Schiff warned that leveraging the power of government to go after your critics is very dangerous.

His X account is full of anti-Trump posts like this one: “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons.

On September 15, she posted on X, “Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air.” She announced she was resigning, saying, “My resignation is guided by values that are essential to who I am, which I refuse to set aside in order to keep a job.

CHRISTIANITY: [42:10] – I started reading Jonathan Kahn’s new book, Avatar, and learned some eye popping stuff that isn’t at all surprising. For example, I had NO idea the modern Olympics are filled with pagan worship! Learning this explains a lot about why the last few opening ceremonies have been so aggressively offensive to Christians!

The ancient Olympic games were banned when Christianity became the legal and approved religion of the Roman Empire, because they were a giant worship event honoring pagan gods, who we know are demons that are still alive. For example, during the ancient Olympics, athletes and priests made elaborate blood tributes to their gods, including the sacrifice of a hundred oxen at the Great Altar of Zeus.

The Olympic flame was an element of the ancient games that was revived with the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the one organized by the Nazis who were deeply immersed in pagan worship. Then, as now, the flame started at the sacred which flame continuously burns in the sanctuary of Hestia, the goddess of sacrificial fire, in Olympia, Greece.

MYTHBUSTER: On September 1, 2022, then-President Joe Biden delivered a speech entitled “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation.” The video is above; the transcript is linked below. It is sometimes called his “Nazi Speech” because of the stage dressing and caustic lines he spoke. E.g., “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” And, “MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

The photo of him scowling, with his fists raised, is often seen. I watched the whole speech to find what he was actually saying at that point. It turns out the gesture wasn’t even remotely Hitler-esque. His facial expression means nothing, because he scowled through the entire speech. And he was not raising his fists and shaking them in anger. He merely pointed with his thumbs, very briefly, at Independence Hall behind him while saying, “American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in [gesture] this chamber behind me.”

OH CANADA: Parents at Corvette Junior Public School in Toronto were shocked last week when they learned that their 10- and 11-year-old children were shown the graphic video of the assassination of Charlie Kirk in their French immersion class. The “teacher” reportedly praised the assassin, compared Kirk to Nazis and said he deserved his fate. Said “teacher” has been placed on administrative leave and the Toronto District School Board said it is prioritizing student well-being while the situation is reviewed.

PANTS ON FIRE: While watching the video of Biden’s “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation” speech, I noticed he touched his mouth once and only once, which was when he was saying, “And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power [touches mouth ] after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.” A gesture like this is often associated with lying.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord, awaken Your Church in America to be a light in the darkness. May we stand boldly for truth. Amen.
