DOGE: Last week, agencies terminated 163 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $647 million. Included was a $35 million USAID contract to “acquire contractor support to establish and manage a flexible, quick response mechanism supporting activities that will support democracy and stability in El Salvador.”
HISTORY: Dearest had to drink goat milk. But he did not have to use the actual goat. 🙂
INTELLIGENT DESIGN: Flatfish start out symmetrical like other fish, but during development, one eye migrates to the other side of the body. They lie flat on the seafloor with both eyes facing up. They could not have evolved, because the intermediate forms have no survival value. Plus, they have been found fossilized in layers with many other varieties of fish.
MIDTERMS: [8:23] – Dr. Steve Turley explains the redistricting war that could possibly give Trump a strong majority in the House for his last two years.
MINNESOTA: “Chicken Jockey”, a ten year old skater from Minnesota, went viral after her adorable performance in the Open Inflatables Final competition at the 2025 National Showcase, August 2, 2025, in Rochester, MI. She came in third.
Everyone acts like Islam “came out of nowhere” in the 7th century. It didn’t. It was built by lifting Catholic ideas, stripping them down, and repackaging them as “new revelation.” Let’s expose a few.
The Angel Gabriel
Appears to Mary in Luke 1. He brings the Word that becomes flesh. That’s Catholic revelation.
600 years later, “Gabriel” appears to Muhammad in a cave. But this time? No Incarnation. Just dictation. Sound familiar?
The Virgin Mary
Catholics had venerated Mary as Mother of God for centuries. Ephesus (431 AD) settled it: Theotokos.
Islam? Mary gets lifted wholesale into the Qur’an… but Christ’s divinity is stripped out. It’s like stealing the frame and burning the painting.
The Eucharist
From the start, the Church celebrated the Body & Blood of Christ at the altar. “Unless you eat, you have no life in you.”- John 6
Islam? Denies it, but keeps the “ritual meal” vibe in Ramadan’s breaking of the fast. A hollow echo.
Monasticism & Prayer
By the 4th century, Catholic monks prayed fixed hours daily. The Divine Office. Bells. Prostrations.
Islam? Five daily prayers facing a holy city. Prostrations. Ritual words. Copied—minus Christ.
Pilgrimage
Christians had pilgrimages to Jerusalem, the Holy Sepulchre, martyrs’ shrines. Long before Muhammad.
Islam? Hijacks the practice, re-centers it on Mecca, strips it of the Cross.
Scripture & Authority
The Church had the canon of Scripture locked down by the 4th century. Magisterium safeguarded it.
Islam? Claims a “book from heaven” with no witnesses, no councils, no continuity. Just one man’s word.
The irony?
Islam denies the very truths it borrows.
Loves Mary, but denies her Son is God.
Honors Jesus, but calls Him a prophet, not a Savior.
Copies prayer, pilgrimage, fasting—while rejecting the Cross that gives them meaning.
Islam is not an “independent revelation.” It’s a remix of Catholic truths— distorted, stripped of Christ, and repackaged as “submission.”
The Catholic Church: ✝️ The blueprint.
Islam: ☪️ The counterfeit.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth: If you admire Islam’s discipline, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage — You’re admiring Catholic practices Islam stole.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Remind us always that You love us so much more than we loved our babies who did nothing but eat, sleep, cry, spit up, pee, and poop. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BORDER: According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Trump’s policies have netted an overall drop of 2.2 million in the nation’s foreign-born population.
In other news, ICE is running a recruitment drive, funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4 by President Donald Trump. So far, more than 100,000 Americans have applied.
CONNECTICUT: In June, Democrat State Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan was charged with shoplifting at a Target. He’s just been charged with not only committing the same crime, but doing it at the same location.
CREATION: Owls have offset ears; one is higher than the other, allowing them to triangulate sound in three dimensions. This anatomical feature gives them pinpoint accuracy in finding prey even under snow. Such asymmetry only works when both the ear placement and the brain’s sound processing are fully coordinated. A half-formed system wouldn’t offer any survival advantage, which means they were designed as a complete unit from the beginning.
DOGE: The Fourth Circuit Court handed Trump another win by removing a block imposed by a lower court that had been preventing DOGE from accessing data within various federal departments.
EVERYDAY HEROES: Two firefighters arrived at an accident scene to find everyone safe—but one little girl still trembling with fear. She clutched bottles of bright nail polish, her eyes wide.
Instead of talking about the crash, they knelt down, asked about her colors, and invited her to paint their nails. Her smile bloomed, the fear faded, and for a few precious minutes, the flashing lights and sirens disappeared.
When they left, their nails were far from regulation—but they were painted in the perfect shade of comfort and kindness. Sometimes, the greatest rescue is simply helping someone feel safe again.
FRANKFURT SCHOOL SUCCESS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J44ttkYa5wo to hear how “Baby, it’s cold outside” was canceled by the left, while “WAP” was played over and over.
WAP won the American Music Awards (2020): Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song; BET Awards (2021): Video of the Year and Best Collaboration; BET Hip Hop Awards (2021): Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop Video, and Best Collaboration.
WAP was also nominated for iHeartRadio Music Awards (2021): Best Music Video, Favorite Music Video Choreography; MTV Video Music Awards (2021): Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop, Best Collaboration, Song of Summer; and Gold Derby Awards (2021): Best Music Video.
Cardi B said of her lyrics’ reputation for being “freaky and nasty” – “I grew up listening to freaky-ass rappers and I feel like this is very mild compared to them. … When WAP came out, the people that were critizing it the most and saying it was nasty and freaky weren’t even religious people. It was mainly republicans. Big republicans, not senates, it was literally the motherfuckers that got blue checks on Twitter, the big influencers. And I think it was because I used to endorse Bernie and then Joe Biden.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant each of us a deep and abiding love for prayer, both private and communal. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BLACK DEATH: [8:04] – Learn how scientists discovered the original source of the deadly bacterium and how it made its way to Europe in the Middle Ages.
D.C.: [10:06] – This is exactly what the Frankfurt School wanted.
FEMINISM AGAINST PROGRESS: The link is cued up to begin at the speech itself, so you don’t have to sit through introductions etc. [1:28:25] – Mary Harrington, author of Feminism Against Progress, describes herself as a “reactionary feminist.” She argues that the pursuit of progress has, in many ways, undermined the well-being of the majority of women, creating new forms of dependence and inequality.
This talk is long, but worth your time. (If you prefer to read, click the transcript button below the video.) As I listen to it, I am struck by how much of what she describes is what the Frankfurt School promoted. And she does it standing in front of a supremely chaotic and ugly mural, something the Frankfurters would be applauding … if they weren’t all (likely) burning in Hell.
Her summary line is this: “As we stare down the monster of money and technology and ‘no truth, only power,’ Christian theology really is the only place left to stand. … There’s no other body of thought that can make the case for human nature as creatures of both flesh and spirit, capable of directing our purpose beyond the mere pursuit of food, sex, money, and status power.”
MEDIA: [4:35] – “It’s like trying to understand nature by going to the zoo.”
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to trust that You always answer our prayers in the best way possible. It’s easy for us to rejoice when You say yes right away; we need Your help to rejoice when Your answer is not yet or not ever. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BIBLE STUDY: This passage is offensive to modern ears. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lWgOTPLdoOo to hear a preacher resolve the issue, by explaining its historical context.
BORDER: On June 26, 2025, the House voted 246 to 160 to pass a measure to mandate the deportation of undocumented immigrants convicted of or admitting to drunk driving and to prohibit their reentry into the United States. Only 37 Democrats voted yes; the 160 who voted no said the measure lacked evidence linking immigration status to drunk driving and did not address broader immigration issues. The bill still requires Senate approval and President Trump’s signature to become law.
S&G: An mtf trannie who slathered himself with estrogen cream may have seriously harmed his toddler daughter by having daily, skin-to-skin contact with her. When he realized she was entering puberty … at age THREE … he switched to an estrogen patch. Nobody knows what long-term damage the kid may have suffered, because her daddy thinks he is her mommy.
TRUMP: On July 26, 2025, President Trump posted the following to Truth Social – “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Our theory is that the pyramid is actually a 3D shape, like a three legged stool. One leg is the husband, one is the wife, and the third is the marriage. The needs and wants of each must be kept in balance with God sitting on the stool. Most of the time, my Dearest and I have been able to concede or compromise, but on a few occasions, we just couldn’t. For these times, we chose a neutral third party we trusted to hear our two sides and cast a vote on behalf of the marriage. We agreed ahead of time to graciously accept the outcome. It saved us a world of trouble. Our 46th anniversary is in less than 3 months.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, You didn’t need to come to us at all, but You chose to out of Your great love to not only come to us, but to do it through the best of us. In Jesus’ Name, we thank You. Amen.
CATHOLIC: [10:09] – Pope Leo has asked us to pray more often in Latin, a language that is basic to our Catholic heritage.
DOMESTIC TERRORISM: “We’ll burn it all down.” [5:19] – When people tell you who they are, believe them.
FLORIDA: “If you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you. You don’t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. You have a right to defend yourself in Florida.” ~Gov. DeSantis
GENESIUS TIMES: LOS ANGELES—In a dazzling display of logic-defying activism, anti-ICE protesters turned the streets of Los Angeles into a blazing paradox yesterday, firebombing the very country they’re desperate to call home—apparently to avoid the heartbreak of returning to the homelands they adore. Armed with Molotov cocktails and a questionable grasp of strategy, the demonstrators torched government buildings while chanting, “Don’t deport us back to paradise!”
NEW JERSEY: [2:00] – A federal grand jury has indicted Rep. LaMonica McIver on 3 counts for forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers at a Newark, NJ, ICE facility.
SUMMER OF LOVE 2.0: Add Phoenix and Denver to that list. Andy Ngo says, “The Party for Socialism and Liberation, a communist group that the recent DC Jewish museum gunman suspect belonged to, has organized a direct action against the U.S. government. They’re demanding the end of immigration enforcement.” There are many clips of violence in the various cities at the Not the Bee link below.
TEXAS: [2:09] – Operation Soteria Shield, a month-long, multi-agency effort targeting online sexual exploitation or minors, rescued 109 children and arrested 244 offenders.
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz adds a page to her journal every day. I love how she combined fragile things with this verse. Also, Dearest’s procedure went perfectly. His heart rhythm is normal and he’s driving himself home as we speak. ❤ Thank you for your prayers!
“This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ — the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.
“Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.
“During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross. In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation. Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness — signaling that death does not have the final word.
“This Holy Week, my Administration renews its promise to defend the Christian faith in our schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, and halls of government. We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting God in our public square.
“As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we look to His love, humility, and obedience — even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments. This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation. We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world, and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal kingdom in Heaven.”
“May God bless you and your family during this special time of year and may He continue to bless the United States of America.”
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Today we lift up all of those who brave the elements on our behalf. We ask You to bless them and their loved ones abundantly. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
BEAUTIFUL: Bob shared “A Little Bird” by Sean Dietrich with me. It touched my heart and soul.
BORDER: This week, President Trump ordered 1,500 more U.S. troops to the southern border. Meanwhile, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove reminded all department employees that the U.S. Constitution requires state and local actors to comply with federal immigration enforcement.
The law carries a prison term of up to five years for each count of resisting, obstructing, or otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands from the executive branch. Furthermore, federal law bars individuals from bringing illegal immigrants into the United States, or harboring them in the country. These violators can receive up to 20 years in prison and may even face the death penalty if a violation results in the death of any person. (Who let Laken Riley’s killer in?)
Meanwhile, Mexico is building shelters in anticipation of all the illegals Trump is expected to deport.

CATHOLIC: A bill proposed by Montana Democrats would jail Catholic priests for upholding the confessional seal, to which they are bound by –
Canon Law 1386 – “A confessor [priest] who directly violates the sacramental seal incurs a latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See; he who does so only indirectly is to be punished according to the gravity of the offence.”;
Canon Law 983 – “The sacramental seal is inviolable; therefore it is absolutely forbidden for a confessor to betray in any way a penitent in words or in any manner and for any reason.” and
Canon Law 984 – “A confessor is prohibited completely from using knowledge acquired from confession to the detriment of the penitent even when any danger of revelation is excluded.”
When questioned about the bill, its chief supporter said she used to be Catholic. Oh. The same is true of any priest who violates the sanctity of the Sacrament of Reconciliation; he would become someone who used to be Catholic.
COVID-19: Rand Paul tweeted, “If there was ever any doubt who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed. Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception.”
According to the site linked below, “The legal authority for preemptive pardons in the United States is rooted in the Constitution and clarified through key judicial precedents.” Biden’s pardon may keep Fauci out of jail, but it won’t save his reputation.
DEI: President Donald Trump has signed an executive order cutting off federal funding to any learning institution that mandates DEI or that hire contractors that engage in such practices.
He has also signed an executive order suspending all DEI activities immediately. By the close of business yesterday, they must have notified all staff they are on leave, closed every office, taken down any public-facing trace of those offices, withdraw any related guidance or directives they have pending and cancel all DEIA trainings.
FCC: [20:30] – Sen. Kennedy is always worth listening to. This one is especially important.
LIFE: Insanity suggests a mental illness that makes someone incapable of making moral judgments. This isn’t insane. It’s EVIL.
NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: The “Service of Prayer for the Nation” is held in this Episcopal church. The membership of this denomination now represents a tiny sliver of (mostly old; modal age = 69) Americans. There are actually six times as many Jews in the U.S. than there are Episcopalians. Maybe they should switch the service to the Nation BASILICA, which is Roman Catholic.
SERVICE OF PRAYER FOR THE NATION: The photo shows their faces as the leftist female “bishop” lectured them at a prayer service for “unity.” Afterwards, the new president issued this statement –
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”
VPOTUS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1321904552323328 to hear Senator J.D. talk about inclusive language. The guy’s answer … “I’d have to give that one some more thought” … is so typical of Woke Lefties. The man had a scheduled appearance before the U.S. Senate. He should have had all his thinking done beforehand. But every time you ask them to justify or even to stand up for their idiotic positions, they dodge and weave. Another common one that Kamala used all the time was, “We need to dialogue about that.”
GRAMMY NOTES: I am doing retroactive prayers today for old hurts caused by rude people. Their nastiness always felt so personal, but none of it was about me.
DAILY PRAYER: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
CATHOLIC: In AD 325 Emperor Constantine convened the very first ecumenical council, the Council of Nicaea. More than 300 bishops came from all over the Christian world to debate one of the early church’s most intense theological questions.
Arius of Alexandria had been teaching subordinationism, the idea that Jesus, the Son of God, was not equal to God the Father, but rather had been created by God before He created time.
The bishops at Nicaea declared this to be heresy, that Jesus is consubstantial (of the same substance) with the Father. A later council would declare the Holy Spirit to be consubstantial with the Father and the Son, thus formally defining the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity.
Bishop Nicholas of Myra, whose person became the foundation for Saint Nick/Santa Claus, was at the Council of Nicaea, where he is said to have been a staunch opponent of Arianism. There is an old legend that he felt so strongly about the matter that, during the council’s deliberations, he actually slapped Arius. However, this story is from more than 1,000 years after Nicholas died. It makes for some funny Catholic nerd memes, but I find it difficult to believe it ever happened.
CONGRESS: Trump &c successfully blocked a bloated, 1500-page Continuing Resolution and got it replaced with a more streamlined 116-page bill that was passed in the wee hours of this morning, December 21, 2024.
DEM LIE: Dems are furious at the failure of their attempt to fund woke projects and are casting Republicans’ as the bad guys for, get this, refusing to fund cancer research funding for children.
A stand-alone bill called H.R. 3391 – 118th Congress “Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0” was passed on March 5, 2024, by the Republican-controlled House. This bill was received by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions [HELP] on March 8, 2024, where it languished, without action, for nine months. HELP, which is chaired by Bernie Sanders, has 20 other members who are evenly between Democrat and Republican.
Yesterday, this Dem-led, Dem-majority committee finally got their thumbs out to send the bill to fund kids’ cancer research to the Senate, where it passed without amendment by a voice vote on the same day, December 20, 2024 … right after the porky 1500 page CR failed.
Whatcha wanna bet the Dems sat on this bill specifically so they could include it in some porky package like the 1,500-page CR. Then, on the off chance their pork didn’t make it through, they could do what they’re doing, which is whine about how eeeeevil Republicans (wiping tears) don’t care about kids after they’re born!
POLLINATOR NEWS: [1:57] – Five years ago, the northern giant hornet was first spotted in Washington state near the Canadian border. This invasive breed is known for its ability to slaughter a honey bee hive in a matter of hours. These vicious bugs have 6mm long stingers and can spit venom. (Brr.) GOOD NEWS!! On Wednesday, we learned they have been eradicated in the U.S.
“I’ve gotta tell you, as an entomologist — I’ve been doing this for over 25 years now, and it is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects,” Sven Spichiger, pest program manager of the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
