DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Confuse every enemy attack and send it back to sender. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIDEN: [5:27] – Did you ever notice how often KJP et al. spoke of “the president” or “this president” with such sincerity? It makes me wonder if they were really talking to Obama and genuinely believed he was THE president.

BOLTON: [8:01] – On August 22, 2025, at about 7 a.m., FBI agents raided John Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland. The word on the street is they had a warrant to search for classified documents. The Epoch Times said, “The FBI did not provide a substantive reply in response to an inquiry”, but noted FBI Director Kash Patel had posted on X, “NO ONE is above the law … @FBI agents on mission” and that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, had shared this, writing, “Public corruption will not be tolerated.” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X, “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always.”

CALIFORNICATION: In the 2024 presidential election, nearly 40% of California voters chose Trump; fewer than 20% of California’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are filled by Republicans. But never mind all that! Democrats rule California and they want more! On August 21, Gov. Newsom on Aug. 21 signed a legislative package to put a measure on the Nov. 4 ballot that would redraw the state’s congressional map to redraw the boundaries for five of those nine seats, to give each of them a greater share of Democrat voters.

Florida did not issue an arrest warrant until August 15. Singh flew from Florida to California on the 14th and was apprehended by U.S. Marshals on August 16 without incident. He agreed to be transferred back to Florida to face charges. CLICK https://x.com/SplitMethod/status/1958628510169538841 [:22] to see video filmed by someone who drove by the accident Singh caused.

MAHA: [13:49] – Bobby Kennedy is not planning to run for president. He wants to put his efforts into fixing the vaccine court.

MEDIA: [3:23] – The White House Bureau Chief for the Washington Post reveals their agenda is not informing voters. Donald Trump owned the Miss Universe Organization (which includes Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen) from 1996 to 2015.

PARTY DEMOGRAPHICS: Between the 2020 and 2024 elections, in the 30 states (and D.C.) that allow voter registrations by party, Democrats lost about 2.1 million registered voters while Republicans gained about 2.4 million.

CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1958191652243198082 [1:18] to hear what Joe Scarborough’s guest, Molly Jong-Fast, says is the reason. As Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

PEACE TALKS: I remember when Democrats cheered because Obama said he would talk to ANY world leader without preconditions. But Trump talks to Putin and they yell, “Russia is our enemy!! How DARE he talk to Putin?!“

RUSSIA vs UKRAINE: Not long after Putin met with Trump in Alaska, the Russian army launched one of its largest overnight strikes since the war began. More than six hundred drones, ballistic and cruise missiles landed on Ukraine, killing one, injuring dozens and destroying an American-owned electronics company less than an hour from two NATO borders.

SCOTUS: The Supremes voted 5–4 on Aug. 21 to allow the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Trump administration argued that National Institutes of Health grants conflict with the president’s policy goals.

TRANS: OMG interview with Vanessa Savidge [1:34:20] – Vanessa Sivadge thought she’d found her dream job as a pediatric nurse at the nation’s top children’s hospital. Instead, she says she watched doctors steer healthy kids into gender transitions, prescribing powerful drugs, billing taxpayers, and hiding it from the public.

Out of her concern for the kids, she spoke anonymously in 2023 with journalist Christopher Rufo about the hospital having publicly claimed to have shut down the transgender medicine program, yet said it was continuing. Approximately two months after that interview, two FBI agents, Paul Nixon and David McBride, came to her home, identifying her as a “person of interest” in an investigation related to a whistleblower who had exposed the program, alleging a violation of federal privacy laws (HIPAA).

She claimed the agents intimidated her, stating they would “make life difficult” for her if she was protecting the leaker and suggested she was “not safe” at work, implying someone at her workplace had given her name to the FBI. Doorbell camera footage shared by Rufo captured the agents at her door, asking to speak with her about “some of the things that have been going on at [her] work lately.”

I am gobsmacked that those two FBI agents showed up on official business wearing jeans and casual shirts.

GRAMMY NOTES: Aidan Perry, a young Florida man, survived being shot in the chest because a cross pendant his dad gave him last Christmas deflected the bullet. [4:35] – When my brother was in Vietnam, he was shot in the torso by a sniper. The bullet did massive damage, his recovery was long, and he has had some lifelong health issues as a result. But what the bullet did not do was kill him. The surgeon who removed the bullet said that, based on its trajectory, it should have gone straight through his heart. The surgeon said it had not hit anything that could have deflected it. It just altered course inside my brother’s chest and went around his heart!

D.C.: Democrat leadership is on the wrong side of this one. [4:53] – Since the National Guard went to D.C., 48 homeless encampments have also been removed and 465 criminals have been arrested for parole violation, assault with a deadly weapon, assault on federal law enforcement officer, stabbing, robbery, attempted murder, and murder.

I’m guessing the uptick is due to the extremely hot weather we’ve been having. More people swimming in warmer than usual water.

The Roots of the Issue

The current political divide is not Donald Trump’s fault; indeed, he only ran for president because of the dangers he saw it posed to our nation’s survival. In some ways, the roots of this issue actually go back to the Garden of Eden. But more recently, we can trace them to specific people and ideas. Below is a brief run down of what I have learned over the years. I’m sure there’s more and would welcome anyone who can add to our knowledge and wisdom on this (and any other) topic.

In the early 1990s, Michael Minnicino wrote an article entitled The Frankfurt School and “Political Correctness” (link below) in which he traced the roots of what he called “the new Dark Age.” He wrote that our current state was “consciously fostered and organized.” He posited that “either we create a Renaissance—a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which civilization originated—or, our civilization dies.”

Minnicino identified the “single, most important organizational component of this conspiracy” as having been a Communist thinktank known as the Frankfurt School whose members were desperately disappointed that the glorious Bolshevik Revolution in Russia had not inspired the proletariat of other European countries to rise up and overthrow their own governments.

One of the members – Georg Lukacs (photo above) – wrote, “Who will save us from Western civilization?” A hundred years ago, Lukacs promoted sex education in the schools, easy access to contraception, and loose divorce laws. So did Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. So do the majority of the leaders and members of today’s Democratic Party.

Lukacs believed that what kept the West from embracing Communism was their Judeo-Christian belief in the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual and in the possibility of enjoying an unmediated relationship with the Divine. From Lukascz’ (and Satan’s) point of view, no society infused with such beliefs could ever “reach the state of hopelessness and alienation which Lukacs recognized as the necessary prerequisite for socialist revolution.”

Lukacs and the other denizens of the Frankfurt School sought to identify the means by which the Judaeo-Christian cultural matrix could be replaced with a demonic world view. They sought cultural forms that would alienate people from truth and goodness. In modern art, literature, and music, they promoted ugliness, pessimism, and discord. Brecht, for example attempted to write his plays so as to make the audience leave the theater demoralized and aimlessly angry.

The Frankfurt School saw the new technologies of radio, film, and recorded music as golden opportunities to exert control over society’s cultural matrix. They sought to do this, in part, by substituting art with entertainment. In 1937, the Rockefeller Foundation (a supporter of the Frankfurt School) began funding research into the social effects of new forms of mass media, particularly radio, basing its headquarters at Princeton University. The director of the “Radio Project” was a Marxist named Paul Lazersfeld.

Under Lazersfeld was Frank Stanton, who one day would become president of the CBS News Division, and ultimately president of CBS. Stanton also became Chairman of the Board of the RAND Corporation and a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s “kitchen cabinet.” Another member of the Rockefeller Foundations’ radio research was Herta Herzog, who married Lazersfeld and became the first director of research for the Voice of America, which functioned from 1942 until Trump shut them down in March of this year.

The efforts of the Radio Project conspirators to manipulate the population spawned the modern pseudoscience of public opinion polling. Another member of the Radio Project was Hazel Gaudet, who became one of the nation’s leading political pollsters. In 1966, Gaudet organized the first meetings of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Nevada in her own living room. In 1970, she was elected Nevada’s representative on ACLU’s national board.

The major pollsters of today—A.C. Neilsen, George Gallup, Elmo Roper—started in the mid-1930’s and, by 1936, had become sufficiently widespread to justify a trade association, the American Academy of Public Opinion Research, which was located at Princeton and headed by Paul Lazersfeld. In 1940, the Office of Radio Research was turned into the Bureau of Applied Social Research, a division of Columbia University, also headed by Paul Lazersfeld. In fact, the entire development of television and advertising in the 1950’s and 1960’s was pioneered by men and women who were trained in the Frankfurt School’s techniques of mass alienation. Their techniques would eventually control American political campaigning.

The Frankfurt School also made major inroads in American academia. In the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of baby boomers were exposed to the Frankfurt School’s poison, either directly or indirectly, when they attended college. It is no coincidence that this is also when student rebellions, widespread drug use, and the sexual revolution began.

By the 1990s, the ideas hatched at the Frankfurt School dominated the universities where students were taught to replace reason with political correctness. More recently, the cancel culture’s tolerance for all things left and intolerance for all things right have permeated our entire society. It is worth noting that Saul Alinsky and his protegé, Barack Obama, are both acolytes of the Frankfurt School.

Thirty-three years ago, Minnicino wrote that our only way out was “to discard the evil, and inhuman, and just plain stupid, and to go back, hundreds or thousands of years, to the ideas which allow humanity to grow in freedom and goodness.” I think it is clear that we are not embroiled in some new and different socio-political battle; rather, we are in the midst of what is likely the end of the ages old spiritual battle that began in the Garden of Eden. Obviously, the only way out is found in the Bible.

The White House Ballroom

Construction is due to start next month on a new 90,000-square-foot White House State Ballroom to host major functions, eliminating the need for temporary tents on the South Lawn. The ballroom will have a seated capacity of 650 people, significantly larger than the largest current event space, the East Room, which has a 200-person capacity. CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1951393572894191707 to hear Trump say he’ll pay for the whole thing himself if private donors don’t contribute. Estimated cost is $200 million.

The last time a president oversaw a major renovation to the White House was the Truman Reconstruction (1948 to 1952). The White House, originally built in 1800 and rebuilt after the War of 1812, was in dire need of renovation. The interior wooden beams and floors were sagging and at risk of collapse and the plumbing, electricity, and heating systems were antiquated, posing fire hazards and inefficiencies.

With congressional approval, Truman initiated a comprehensive reconstruction to both preserve and modernize the White House. The interiors were gutted down to the foundation so a new steel and concrete framework was installed to replace the weakened wooden structure, ensuring long-term stability. Moldings, fireplaces, and paneling were carefully removed beforehand and reinstalled after to preserve the White House’s historical character.

A deeper, stronger foundation was dug to support the building and a two-story basement was added, including a bomb shelter (in response to Cold War nuclear fears) and mechanical rooms. New electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems were installed to meet modern standards. The Grand Staircase was rebuilt, and new elevators were installed for accessibility.

Truman added a balcony on the second floor of the South Portico, providing a private outdoor space for the First Family. This was controversial at the time, as critics argued it altered the White House’s iconic facade, but it’s now a beloved feature. The same thing happened in Paris when the Eiffel Tower was built. So, while I saw a lot of griping on X about Trump’s ballroom, I’m sure that one day it will be a cherished and praised feature of the White House.

The new ballroom will maintain the same neoclassical architectural style and will be located in part where the East Wing currently stands. The East Wing, built in 1902 and expanded in 1942, currently houses offices for the First Lady, the White House Military Office, and visitor offices, all of which will be temporarily relocated during construction. It isn’t clear where those functions will be moved to after construction is finished. Part of the ballroom will jut onto the South Lawn, connected via the East Colonnade, with a Palladian facade and columns on its eastern wall.

Fake News Hoax List – Part 2

SEVEN-HOUR GAP HOAX: In April 2022, the Left Stream Media pushed out a story that, between 11:17 a.m. and 6:54 p.m. on January 6, 2021, documented communication with allies occurred between then-President Trump and allies, including a call to Vice President Mike Pence. Yet, during this seven hours and 37 minutes period, the White House switchboard logs showed no activity presidential activity. This led to speculation of a cover-up, with suggestions that Trump used burner phones and/or had suppressed records.

However, CNN later reported that the six pages of White House switchboard logs for January 6 were complete, and the gap was likely due to Trump’s typical phone habits. He rarely used the switchboard when in the Oval Office, relying instead on staff-placed calls via landlines or cell phones, which were not logged by the switchboard. This was consistent with practices during other administrations, including Obama’s.

RUSSIAN BOUNTIES HOAX: In June 2020, The New York Times published a story claiming that Russian spooks had offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill U.S. and coalition troops.

The story further alleged that U.S. intelligence knew about it and had briefed Trump in early 2019. President Donald Trump denied being informed and called the story a “hoax” and “fake news,” arguing it was meant to damage him and the Republican Party during the 2020 election.

The Left Stream Media continued to push the narrative until April 2021, when the Biden administration admitted that the tale was based on sketchy sources, which forced Democrats and their shills to drop their narrative.

TRUMP TRASHES TROOPS HOAX: In September 2020 – i.e., the final weeks of Trump’s re-election campaign – The Atlantic published a smear story written by a well-known Trump basher and based entirely on anonymous sources.

In it, the author claimed Trump had canceled a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, citing concerns about his hair in the rain and dismissing the importance of honoring war dead, reportedly saying, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” The story also alleged he had questioned the value of military service during a 2017 Memorial Day visit to Arlington Cemetery, asking then-Chief of Staff John Kelly, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” The story also claimed Trump had called Marines who died at Belleau Wood in World War I “suckers.”

CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1303030811755716611 [3:13] to hear Trump talk about the allegations. Despite the lack of audio, video, or documented evidence, reliance on anonymous sources, and the timing during the 2020 campaign, Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, used the story during the 2024 campaign to argue that Trump was unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.

  • The Bluebird of Bitterness – aka, Bob, aka, my best researcher – sent me this link @ https://scifiwright.com/2024/02/hoax-list/. It’s just a long list of the Breitbart links that I am explicating and illustrating for you, bit by bit. I included some additional links, but most of what I’ve used is from asking Grok for a rundown on each of the hoaxes.

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. :-(“`

IOW, the same sheeple who were conned by anti-American psyops to protest Vietnam and climate change. This particular issue is especially stupid.

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.

Riley Gaines: “If they lied about the obvious things like Biden’s cognitive decline and the idea that men can become women, then why should we trust anything they say?”

Besides that, why should we help enrich these clowns by buying their book?!

HANNAH DUGAN: The Milwaukee County judge who was arrested and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding on April 25, has been indicted after a federal grand jury heard how she tried to help an illegal alien escape arrest in her courtroom.

JOBS: Last year, the Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September. New data released this week suggests none of those jobs ever existed. Whoa! The usual thing for the Fauxtus administration’s job reports was to report good numbers, then later when the jerknalists can ignore it, quietly downsize said numbers. This new one is way bigger than a downsizing! Read more at the links.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1922296112666308708 [:36] and compare the sad, sad faces and dirge-like vocal tones of these CNN jerknalists as they are forced to speak words like “U.S. inflation slowing to its lowest rate in more than 4 years”, “It’s an unexpected & very welcome development that’s defying economists’ expectations”, and “Inflation continuing to move in the right direction.” They both look and sound like their favorite dog just died.

TRANS: “Anna” medically transitioned as a teen and has since destransitioned.

[6 :12] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PxJUpwWlCHw to hear Nick Freitas respond to a critic. @AmyW-m2p comments: “Freitas makes an excellent point – but there is an older, much more traditional reason for denying trans in the military: they are utterly reliant on medication to maintain their functions. Bipolars stable on meds can’t serve, nor can folks with high blood pressure. Any medical condition that can cause an issue without intervention is automatic grounds for denial… and that truth should never have been questioned in the first place.” I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I never got past my first interview with an Army recruiter because I was getting allergy shots twice a month.

GRAMMY NOTES: Also learn. My 3d pregnancy was very high risk; I needed 7 amnios before we were done. My daughter became agitated earlier and earlier in the procedure until, by the last one, they could barely get the needle in and out safely because of her thrashing.
