DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You and we praise You for Your Fatherhood and that of all the men who have nurtured us in our lives. Please bless them and, for those in Purgatory, please grant them a Father’s Day vacation from their suffering. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ASSASSINATION: We can expect this guy’s face to disappear from the Left Stream Media after a pile of “NO KINGS” posters was found in his car.

ATC: On Wednesday, acting FAA administrator Chris Rocheleau told the House Appropriations Committee that the Federal Aviation Administration plans to replace its aging air traffic control systems, which still rely on floppy disks and Windows 95 computers.

BORDER: How many military kids woke up yesterday morning wondering the same thing about their deployed dads?

BUH BYE: On May 30, the Supremes ruled that a Biden administration-era parole program could be ended under the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sent notices to more than 500,000 citizens of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti who are no longer welcome to stay here.

CALIFORNICATION: CLICK https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1933243738933113049 [:54] to see how committed liberal Democrats are to saving the planet. – I may live in one of the few places where the local Democrats walk the walk on this issue. We have to pay for trash pick up, but recycle pick up is free. They come on different days with different trucks and deliver to different locations. The recycle people swore to me that they really do sell everything they can.

DUMB-O-CRATS: “It’s soooo stupid.” [8:05 ] – This was actually the least distressing of all the terrible news this week. Keep praying, my garden buddies. It’s not only good for you, it’s powerful. And, for most of us, it is the best we can offer.

EUTHANASIA: My mother once told me that if we ever legalized abortion, euthanasia would be next. In “compassionate” Canada, where it’s cheaper for the government-run health care system to kill than to heal, a disabled Canadian woman with PTSD from childhood abuse called a mental health and suicide crisis support hotline for help fighting her suicidal thoughts. The operator said, “Well, MAiD [Medical Assistance in Dying] is a legit and legal option. Maybe it’s something you should consider. The medical system seems to be failing you. And you are never going to get the opiate pain medication that you think you need.”

GOVERNOR HAIR GEL: Last Thursday, Gavin excitedly announced a federal judge had ordered control of the National Guard in California to be taken away from Trump and given to him on Friday. Later the same day, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Trump’s motion to stay. Trump 1, Gavin 0.

Also on Thursday, Trump signed a trio of congressional resolutions ending California’s restrictive rules for diesel engines and mandates on vehicle sales. “Under the previous administration, the federal government gave left-wing radicals in California dictatorial powers to control the future of the entire car industry all over the country, all over the world, actually. They approved Governor Gavin ‘Newscum’s’ ridiculous plan to impose a 100% ban on all new gas-powered cars within a very short period of time. Think of this, you can’t buy any other car except an electric powered car, and in California they have blackouts and brownouts. They don’t have enough electricity right now.” Trump 2, Gavin 0.

IMMIGRATION: Rich wannabe immigrants can now pay $5 million to register for the fast track to citizenship. At least 15,000 people have already signed up. Commerce Secretary Lutnick says the $5 million ‘Trump Card’ could potentially generate $1 trillion for the nation.

INTIMIDATION: Leftie SF Gate described it as “two senators in quiet conversation.” Yeah, no. Feinstein’s body language is right out of the Democrats’ historical playbook. It was Democrats who forced Native Americans to march the Trail of Tears. It was Democrats who went to war rather than free their slaves. It was Democrats who, having lost the war, instituted segregation and Jim Crow laws to keep them uppity n*****s under their thumbs. It was Democrats who wore white hoods to lynchings and it is Democrats today wearing black bloc to “mostly peaceful protests.”

ISRAEL vs. IRAN: Read below if you need a catch up. I’m too distressed about this to dive in and report on the details. :-(“`

MILITARY: On Saturday, thousands of soldiers and dozens of military vehicles paraded through the streets of Washington to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.

MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS: [:54] – Visit the links below to see video clips that Not the Bee collected.

NO KINGS MARCHES: [5:39] – Reportedly, the vast majority of the people who attended these marches were retired middle class white people. IOW, the same sheeple who were conned by anti-American psyops to protest Vietnam and climate change. This particular issue is especially stupid. Trump is far more law abiding than Obama or Biden were.

SCOTUS: [11:11] – The Supremes voted 9-0 in favor of religious freedom.

S&G: I can’t even go here.

TARGET: Remember the 2011 Tucson shooting and how the Left blamed Sarah Palin’s “targeting” of Gabrielle Gifford’s congressional seat on a campaign map for “inciting” the violence?

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.

Catholicism and the Faith “versus” Science Myth

NOTE: I saw the text below labeled “Author unknown” on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/526277745167015/. I added the graphics and videos. – CtH

You know, it’s funny when people hear that Pope Leo XIV has a math degree, taught physics, and wrote a thesis on monastic leadership, they act like it’s some wild plot twist. The Catholic Church has always been low-key obsessed with education. I mean, did you know nearly every pope since the Renaissance has had a PhD? Benedict XVI had five. Cardinals today basically need doctorate-level expertise to even get a seat at the table.

Leo XIV isn’t an outlier; he’s following a 2,000-year-old playbook where faith and reason are BFFs. This is the same institution that gave us the Big Bang theory (thanks to a Jesuit priest, Georges Lemaître) and the guy who invented genetics (shoutout to Gregor Mendel, the pea-plant-obsessed Augustinian friar). Yet somehow, we still think of the Church as just incense and hymns.

The Church’s duality; defending doctrinal tradition while pioneering intellectual frontiers, is its defining paradox. Consider the Vatican’s astronomical observatory, which has operated since 1582, or the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which has included members like Hawking and Einstein.*

Let’s break it down. Those monks and nuns you picture copying manuscripts in candlelit monasteries? They weren’t just praying, they were preserving ancient Greek philosophy, advancing math, and basically saving Western civilisation during the Dark Ages. Fast-forward to today, and the Vatican still runs its own space telescope (yes, really, Jesuit brothers track asteroids). The Church condemned Galileo, sure, but now it funds ethical stem-cell research and partners with IBM on AI ethics. It’s like the ultimate comeback story: “Oops, we messed up on heliocentrism; here’s a think tank on quantum physics.”

And let’s talk about those religious orders. Jesuits? They basically invented the modern university system. The Jesuits founded in 1540, by a chap called Ignatius Loyola, (half monk, half soldier) ran over 800 universities globally.ǂ Franciscans gave us Occam’s Razor; you know, that “simplest explanation is best” rule you learned in science class? That came from a 14th-century friar who loved logic more than the Pope loved his fancy hat. The Dominicans had Thomas Aquinas, who merged Aristotle’s philosophy with theology. Augustinians, Leo XIV’s crew, were all about community and critical thinking, traits he took to Peru, where he spent 20 years teaching in slums while quietly holding dual citizenship. The guy’s got more layers than a medieval manuscript.

But here’s the upper-cut: the Church thrives on this weird paradox. It’s conservative enough to make your grandma nod approvingly (“No women priests? Classic.”) but progressive enough to have a Pope who trash-talks climate deniers and slams border policies. Leo XIV fits right in; he’s a Republican primary voter who also called Trump’s family separations “illicit,” a social media critic who warns bishops not to be divisive online. It’s like the Church says, “We’ll debate evolution with Darwinians by day and chant Latin psalms by night and we’ll look good doing both.”

So next time someone acts shocked that a pope knows quantum physics or tweets about refugees, just smile. The Catholic Church has been playing 4D chess with knowledge for centuries. It’s not a relic; it’s a living library, where friars argue about black holes over breakfast and nuns run coding bootcamps. Leo XIV? He’s just the latest chapter in a story where faith doesn’t fear science … it fuels it.

ADDITIONS by CtH:

*The Vatican Astronomical Observatory was established in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII, the man that Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost chose to honor with his own papal name.

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.

The SAVE Act of 2025

The House just passed The SAVE Act.

Democrats have been sending out scary messages claiming this would make it impossible for married women to vote, because our birth certificates don’t match our married names. This is a Big Fat Lie!

The SAVE Act specifies a long list of acceptable forms of “documentary proof of United States citizenship” that will be acceptable for a voter to register. The number one is a driver’s license. Note: Every state has a procedure for getting a new driver’s license after a legal name change.

Only four Democrats voted in support of the bill, including Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Jared Golden (ME), and Ed Case (HI). The photo above provides inside information into why Dems don’t want to limit us to “one living citizen, one valid vote”

I saw some comments about these being worthy causes. The problem is that, when you’re in debt, your extra money belongs to your creditors. It is not yours to give away, regardless of how worthy the cause. The USA is trillions of dollars in debt.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you for the wisdom to know what You want us to say, the courage to speak when what You want said may be unpopular, and the serenity to keep our pie holes shut when now is not Your time. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Thanks to years of work by Judicial Watch, more than five million ineligible voter registrations have been removed from the rolls in California, Colorado, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Other voter roll clean-up lawsuits by Judicial Watch continue in Illinois, Oregon, and California.

FIGHT: [9:10] – “Fight is the backstage story of bloodsport politics in its rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness. At every turn, the combatants went for the jugular, whether they were facing down rivals in the other party or their own.”

IGNORANCE: Grandpa is rolling in his grave that his offspring think Trump is a fascist. Grandpa also knew how to spell “fascist.” But hey, kudos for the cute reference to Harry Potter.

J6 COMMITTEE: Biden gave them all a presidential pardon. If they did everything right, why did they need to be pardoned?

JOBS: During Biden’s years, the jobs reports were consistently lower than the predictions. Then, later on, they had to revise their reported numbers down even more, because they had inflated the reports. The opposite is now true. The newest March jobs report exceeded expectations by more than 50%. And they didn’t even need to fudge the numbers to do it.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have granted Trump permission to continue withholding $250 million in Department of Education grants that would fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

GRAMMY NOTES: My heart breaks for this little one. My mother couldn’t get 3 seats together on a flight, so decided I (age 11) should sit alone with a stranger while she enjoyed the company of her favorite child (age 21). The stranger spilled boiling hot coffee on me and said nothing except to demand a refill from the attendant. I am 70 now and this memory still hurts. I can’t imagine how this little girl felt, riding all alone in the BAGGAGE CAR! I can only hope she had a kind attendant like the one who put cold water on my burned leg and helped me feel better.
