DAILY PRAYER: Holy Family of Nazareth, please grant that our families will be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic churches. Make us more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen.
BIRD FLU: Last March, bird flu was found in a baby goat living on a farm where an outbreak had recently been detected in poultry. This was the first confirmed case of the virus jumping from birds to mammals on a U.S. farm. Thankfully, research to date has shown mammals don’t spread the virus to others.
By April, bird flu had spread to Texas and infected a cattle farmer, marking only the second time a human in the U.S. has contracted the disease. Fortunately, he suffered nothing worse than eye inflammation (conjunctivitis).
By December, bird flu had spread to 16 states, with more cattle farmers catching the bug. Five zoo animals died from bird flu outside Phoenix, one animal died at a zoo in Seattle, and California’s Gov. Newsom had declared a state emergency.
In a Washington state wildlife sanctuary, 20 big cats tragically died. The sanctuary said that big cats “are particularly vulnerable to this virus, which can cause subtle initial symptoms but progress rapidly, often resulting in death within 24 hours due to pneumonia-like conditions.”
GRAMMY NOTES: My new goal is to get my blog written and posted before noon. I got up at 10:30 this morning and I’m reading jokes and memes on Facebook. ::yawn::
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Jesus, help us to simplify our activities and traditions so we can focus our celebration on Your birth. Thank You for being the Prince of Peace! Amen.
CALIFORNICATION: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1869539589045858596 [2:42] to hear San Francisco’s Weight Czar Virgie Tovar (author of “You Have the Right to Remain Fat”) explain what Cake Related Fatphobic Incidents (CRFI) are and why we should stop them.
Not The Bee writes, “Yes, San Fran has gone beyond the standard leftist utopia of poop on the streets, homeless encampments on every corner and drug needles in every direction, and has decided to spend taxpayer funds on a fat woman to advise them on … ‘weight stigma and weight neutrality’ so that residents don’t feel guilty when ‘moralizing impulses’ tell them to stop eating.”
Tovar is employed by the HEALTH department. Obesity increases risk of developing the following: Type 2 diabetes; High blood pressure; Heart disease; Stroke; Metabolic syndrome; Fatty liver diseases; Some cancers; Breathing problems; Osteoarthritis; Gout; Diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas; Kidney disease; Pregnancy problems; Fertility problems; Sexual function problems; and Mental health problems.
FAUXTUS: [1:46] – It’s his last chance to pad those secret bank accounts in the Caymans.
J6: The report by the House Oversight Committee shows that the gallows structure the Left used to fuel outrage against Trump and his followers was probably a federal plant. The United States Capitol Police guidelines prohibit the construction of temporary structures on Capitol grounds. They made no effort to investigate it, turning a blind eye while the thing was being built, for the entire 26 hours it was in place, and while it and all its materials were destroyed.
PSA: Don’t handle bat poop. Or pigeon poop for that matter. Both are known carriers to vicious bacterial and fungal infections. Two guys who decided to use bat poop on their marijuana plants are now dead. So, maybe also don’t smoke either. If you need to clean up bat or bird poop, the second link has safety instructions.
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: Dem “solutions” are only about passing more gun control laws. But the latest school shooter violated two existing gun laws. And, oh yeah, she murdered people, which is also illegal. Click the first link below to read about what was probably the primary reason for this young woman to choose murder and suicide over a productive life. At the second link, Andy Ngo reports on her manifesto.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us think always about the fact that, even after the employees put You through literal torture, You did not say, “You’re fired” but instead, “Forgive them.” Amen.
FAUXTUS: [5:09] – Other sniffy pardons went a Massachusetts woman who was convicted for leading a large-scale and very profitable criminal enterprise trafficking fentanyl and an Illinois comptroller who stole $54 million to finance a lavish lifestyle.
GUNS: Poland has begun requiring firearms education at all primary and secondary schools. The kids use ball guns, air guns, replicas of small arms, and virtual or shooting guns with lasers to practice.
J6: CLICK https://x.com/ClayTravis/status/1868399298481656048 [2:51] to hear “sports commentator and semi-reasonable lib” Stephen A. Smith spew his frustration over the left’s perfidy. “I’m really, really sick and tired of every time I turn around finding something else that the Democrats have lied about, or downplayed, or misrepresented along the way.” Clearly, he has not yet taken the red pill, because at the end, he says, “They’ve actually made Donald Trump look like he was right.” Not “look like” … was.
MURDER: Riley Gaines tweeted, “I haven’t seen a single Democrat call for gun restrictions following the murder of Brian Thompson…. It’s almost as if preventing senseless deaths was never the primary focus.”
SUCK UPS: Trump’s inaugural fund received $1 million each from Mark Zuckerberg (Meta, Facebook) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon, Washington Post). Not The Bee says, “Translation: They’re bending the knee and playing nice in hopes that Trump doesn’t turn the tables on them after their years of kissing the ring of power in the deep state.”
S&G: In February of this year, the UK’s National Health Service promoted the idea that breast milk produced by mtf trannies is as nourishing for babies as that produced by women who have given birth. Last week, the NHS admitted that the drug-induced secretions that mtf trannies’ moobs can produce are not milk. I saw news reports from 2023 that the CDC was recommending mtf chest feeding, but when I looked for it at the CDC website today, I couldn’t find it.
VIRGINIA: Three teachers in Harrisonburg, Virginia, have won their court case against their district requiring them to use ask for and/or use students’ preferred names and pronouns.
AUSTRALIA: [4:37] – A new ruling has barred this champion runner from competing in the Paralympics.
CATHOLIC: [4:32] – I like what he says about not needing to have any emotional experience or aha from the readings or homily, cuz sometimes I just don’t. It’s good to know it’s enough that we were there participating and being present to the Lord.
GIFT FROM GOD: The preacher who revealed this says there are two things that are required of us during this reprieve from the time of destruction – to pray for Trump to be humble and follow God so that the time of reprieve will be fulfilled, and to pray for the souls of all those who have not yet given their lives to Jesus Christ.
HEALTH: Some time ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated nearly $10 million of taxpayers’ money to fund several projects, one of which was a study led by Dr. Joanna Olson-Kennedy, who works as the medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
The study provided puberty blockers to 95 children with an average age of less than 11.5 years who suffered from gender dysphoria. Their plan was to analyze whether these drugs improved the mental health of the children. To their dismay, the found the drugs did nothing to help these kids, so the NIH decided not to publish the tax-funded study lest it be “weaponized” by critics and lawmakers who want to prohibit doctors from prescribing these drugs to children.
A subcommittee in the House of Representatives has launched an inquiry.
REGULATIONS: One of the things Trump did when he was 45 was cut a yuge number of wasteful regulations. He’s promised that, as 47, he will step up the fight against government red tape.
GRAMMY NOTES: My parents didn’t believe in allowances for doing nothing. It was more like, “If you do not work, you will not eat.” I remember shining my brothers’ shoes before Mass on Sundays for ten cents a pair when I was in grade school.
CNN: With post-election ratings plummeting, CNN is planning to axe some of its high-paid staff. Sounds like a plan, especially given that some, like Anderson Cooper, make as much as $20 million per year! As Gwen Walz said, “Buh-bye! Time to turn the page!”
COVID-19: On July 26, 2020, the CDC issued an official plan entitled “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” It presented the CDC’s plan for “implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings. “
The document describes how they wanted to herd people who were deemed at high risk for severe disease were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be denied the right to legal appeals or legal counsel. They would be banned from worshiping. However, there was a plan to prevent suicides, just in case you thought they were going all fascist on you.
Understand that “shielding” is code for “herding people into concentration camps where we can control them.” Right at the beginning of the document, the CDC admits their plan had never been tried. IOW, nobody knew if it would do anything to save lives.
Also, recall that the governments of Australia and Canada actually did this. Of course, those countries don’t have the Second Amendment, which may be why the CDC wasn’t able to implement something similar here. The document was removed from the CDC website about March 26, 2023, but is still available at the archive link below.
DOGE: Posted by Musk on Nov 12 – “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”
SUGGESTIONS already posted: Payments to dead people. Money for Pakistani gender studies. Boosting Egyptian tourism. Make up classes for trans people in the Middle East. The 501c4 loop hole for foreign aid. Funding universities that are sitting on billions of dollars of endowments. NPR. Free college for illegals. Watching squirrels fornicate. Maintaining empty buildings.
Also, “take digital copies of all agency annual audit reports, feed them into a Retrieval Augmented Generation AI application (RAG), and query for patterns indicating fraud, waste, and abuse. The output could be refined and prioritized for further examination and action” and “look at Rand Paul’s reports.”
My favorite: “Stop funding anything that is not in the Constitution.”
FBI: [6:35] – Another day, another raid.
HHS: Yesterday, Biden’s Department of Health and Services for Sexual Deviants celebrated “Transgender Awareness Week” which runs from Nov. 13 to 19, should not be confused with “Trans Day of Remembrance” (November 20). Cuz, yeah, we all need to have that shoved down our throats again, since “Trans Day of Visibility” (March 31), “Day of Silence” (for trans students on April 12), “International Day Against Transphobia” (May 17), “Harvey Milk Day” (May 22), “Pride Month” (June), “LGBTQ+ History Month“ (October), and “International Pronoun Day“ (October 16) were clearly not enough.
Also yesterday, Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
In other news, some FDA employees are threatening to quit if Kennedy gets confirmed. Good. It’ll save him having to fire them.
CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1857173898531389878 [5:49] to hear RFK Jr. talk about how badly our health has deteriorated since the early 1990s, in large part because the government works hand-in-hand with big food corporations to poison processed foods. I was interested to hear what he had to say about Yellow Dye #5. Way back in the early 1990s, my hairdresser was telling me about this terrible rash he had developed. When he went to a dermatologist, she quickly identified this food coloring as the culprit. He had made a huge pot of chicken stock and added Yellow Dye #5 to make it look more yummy. He had been using this big batch of stock repeatedly in his meals, which he cooked from scratch and assumed were healthy for him. I don’t bake, but occasionally will get a slice of birthday cake or something handed to me. I always scrape off any dyed frosting and, if the inside is a funky color, just give it a pass altogether.
IGNORANCE: In this day and age, I think it is inexcusable to be this dumb. “Claire” clearly wasn’t already familiar with the Jerusalem Cross, but all she had to do was google. I tried “5 cross tattoo” and got multiple hits for it. I also tried “swastika” and found it is not among the choices.
TENNESSEE: The violent Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua (TDA) that has taken over entire apartment buildings is now operating in every major city in Tennessee. Tennessee is a red state that is nowhere near the southern border.
TOLERANCE: Two of the white women who can’t stand the majority of Americans have joined the ranks of the unemployed following backlash for hate-filled rants they posted.
TRANS: Last year, Russia banned gender-transition medical procedures and its Supreme Court declared the LGBTQ+ ‘movement’ to be extremist. Now, the government is thinking about banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal. Americans have been banned from adopting Russian babies for over a decade. Most of the countries that would be banned if this new rule passes are in Europe, plus Australia, Argentina, and Canada.
GRAMMY NOTES: A Big Happy Birthday to Mama Buzz, the baby who made me a mom, the bride who made me a mom-in-law, and the mama who made me a grandma! I love you!!
