DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray for better communication in all of our relationships. Help us listen without interrupting, speak without attacking, and understand without judging. Let our words build up instead of tear down. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On February 14, 1990, as the Voyager 1 space probe was about to leave our solar system, it turned and took a photo in which Earth glows as a pale blue dot highlighted by a brilliant beam from the sun, an astronomical Valentine from our loving Creator.

CATHOLICS and CAPPUCHINOS: [40:51] – In Episode 2, Siobhan Fallon Hogan interviews Kevin James who has a new movie out, Solo Mio, in which he stars with Jonathan Roumie. I can’t wait to see it!

CHRISTIANITY: CLICK https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTeFd0-knOK/ to learn how to BREATHE the prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, Have mercy on me, a sinner.”

CLIMATE HOAX: Trump is eliminating an Obama-era EPA “finding” that carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three other greenhouse gases “endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations.” This “finding” was used to justify most of the federal greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles. Eliminating it will cancel those standards and bring down car prices.

GEORGIA: [5:33] – On January 28th, federal agents executed a search warrant on Fulton Countyy’s election offices and walked out with approximately 700 boxes of evidence, including physical ballots from the 2020 election, tabulator tapes, electronic ballot images, and voter rolls.

ICE: Gary Varvel writes, “The outrage over immigration enforcement isn’t really about compassion — it’s about political survival. For four years, President Biden refused to secure the border while as many as 20 million foreign nationals entered the United States. That wasn’t incompetence. It was the Democrat’s strategy. Mass migration became the foundation of a long-term political calculation: import future voters, reshape the electorate, and secure power for a generation. They were stacking the deck.

“Now that ICE is removing even a few of those ‘cards,’ the panic sets in. According to a 2024 House Judiciary Committee report, the Biden-Harris Administration funneled tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to organizations supporting illegal aliens — often through left-wing nonprofits. Sounds like buying votes while border security and public safety took a back seat. When your political future is stacked on a house of cards labeled ‘mass migration,’ enforcing the law doesn’t just secure the border — it threatens to bring the whole Democratic Party structure down.”

MEDIA: On February 9, CBS ran a story stating – “Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump’s first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.”

The Left Stream Media repeated this “fact” ad nauseum. But here’s the rest of the story …

  1. Everybody who is in the country illegally is a criminal. ICE’s mandate is “immigration” enforcement, so duh.
  2. The arrest percentages for 2025 were similar to historical averages, so double duh.
  3. CBS News limited their data set to assaults and homicides committed in the U.S. They conveniently ignored DUIs, which are known to involve repeat offenders and to cause multiple deaths every year.
  4. DHS says 70% of their arrests involved people with gang connections and/or with convictions or pending charges for crimes of all kinds, both here and abroad.
  5. CLICK https://www.foxnews.com/video/6389127735112 [:44] to hear Karoline Leavitt list some of the many crimes CBS decided weren’t bad enough to justify ICE arrests. E.g., distributing child pornography.

In other news, the word on the street is that CBS is losing money bigly. Maybe if they stopped lying, people would go back to considering them a news source.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Heavenly Father, Protect our relationships from every attack of the enemy and from our own sinful tendencies. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

REDEDICATE 250: “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving” will be held May 17th on the National Mall. From 6am to 6pm, the event will feature Christian singers, religious leaders and personas, and members of the president’s cabinet. Doors will open at 4:30 am.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: [2:30 to 7:40] – Fr. Dan Reehil is a Catholic priest and exorcist for the Diocese of Nashville. In the first minutes of this video, he talks about the effectiveness of true Gregorian Chant in torturing demons. He then tells an amazing story about a time when Pope Saint John Paul II received a word of knowledge that changed a young priests life.

@katdunn7934 posted this in the comments: “Today I listened to Jesse Romero tell a story about going to a convenience store and it had Gregorian chant playing outside. He asked the owner, who was Indian, why it was playing. The owner said they had problems with homeless people hanging out there outside all the time. He did everything to try getting them to leave sprinklers on them and even thumb tacks where they would lay. Nothing worked. One day a priest came in and he asked the priest what he could do about the situation. The priest said sometimes it’s not a mental health situation, but demonic in nature. He suggested playing Gregorian chant and see what happens. He did, and they started screaming and covering their ears. They left and never came back. That’s pretty powerful!”

“Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere. Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans. ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.” ~ICE Director Todd Lyons

Minneapolis ICE Update

The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have been arrested.

On Thursday morning, protesters in Minneapolis again clashed with law enforcement agents in Minneapolis. At least one protester was detained as federal officers armed with pepper-ball guns and tear gas faced off with a large crowd of demonstrators, one of whom brandished an “ICE = murder” sign.

Police have been ordered to not assist ICE agents.

ICE AGENT’S VIDEO: [10:56] – Renee Nicole Good (37), the woman who was fatally shot by this ICE agent, is being celebrated by the left as an anti-ICE “warrior” who was part of a group of activists working to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good was apparently recruited through her 6-year-old son’s charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and involves children “in political and social activism. A fellow parent said, “She died doing what was right.”

HOMELAND SECURITY STATEMENT: [14:05] – On Wednesday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made this statement saying that, although any death was a “tragedy,” the shooting was justified. “Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he’s been taught to do in that situation.”

RE: The guy wearing “HSI” on his jacket – Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security, focused on investigating federal crimes, enforcing immigration laws, and protecting national security. It employs over 7,100 special agents and operates both domestically and internationally to combat various forms of crime, including human trafficking and drug smuggling.

“Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.” [Psalm 31:18]

“Targeting Law Enforcement Is Not Leadership — It’s Vigilantism” by Gary Varvel

What we’re seeing here is not just bad politics — it’s a snapshot of a godless nation in miniature. When a society no longer believes it is accountable to anything higher than its own emotions, it begins to unravel. Self-control is replaced with self-righteousness, and the loudest anger becomes the final authority. That’s why these protesters aren’t arguing their case in legislatures or courts — they’re fighting in the streets against the very people tasked with upholding the law.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey insist they’re merely “using their voices,” but when you use the power of public office to single out lawful officers as villains, you are not engaging in debate — you are designating targets. Painting ICE agents as enemies of the people while they are simply enforcing laws passed by Congress is not compassion. It’s political vigilantism, and it predictably ignites the passions of unstable individuals who don’t hear nuance — they hear permission.

We’ve already seen where that road leads. The George Floyd tragedy became a national trauma not only because of what happened in Minneapolis, but because leaders and media figures poured moral gasoline on public outrage until cities burned. You don’t need to instruct a mob to riot if you’ve already convinced it that destruction is justice and rage is virtue.

Scripture is not ambiguous about this.

“Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves” (Romans 13:1–2).

Whatever slogans Walz, Frey, and the protesters are chanting, what they are functionally doing is opposing an authority God Himself has instituted and will receive condemnation.

That doesn’t mean laws can’t be changed. It means they must be changed rightly. If they want to reform immigration policy or abolish ICE, the Constitution already provides the method: persuasion, legislation, and elections. What it does not authorize is moral intimidation, street enforcement, or deputizing mobs as a substitute for self-government.

And Scripture also speaks directly to the spirit driving all of this: “…everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God” (James 1:19–20).

A society that forgets this will inevitably trade law for passion, order for outrage, and justice for destruction — and then wonder why everything is burning.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You for telling us in Psalm 91 that You will cover us with Your feathers and that, under Your wings, we will find refuge! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: [16:50 ] – This is really worth your time.

ICE: [12:30] – Harold’s bogus 6% figure is based on an NBC News article entitled “Despite promise to remove ‘worst of the worst,’ ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers.”

The 6% is not what Harold actually said, which was that, “of the deportations that we have had so far, only 6% have been hardened criminals.” Last September, ICE told Congress there were more than 13,000 illegals in the USA at that time who were known to have committed murder; of these, only 752 (about 6%) have been picked up by ICE. Since “6% of known murderers” is a very different thing from “6% of all illegals deported”, Harold’s claim utterly fails.

But there is another problem with his claim, which is his use of the vague term “hardened criminal.” According to GROK, a “hardened criminal” is someone who has repeatedly engaged in criminal behavior and who often shows a lack of remorse and a persistent disregard for the law. In other words, their “hardened” status is based not on the heinousness or violence of their crimes, but rather on their bad attitudes.

So how about the general idea behind Harold’s claim, which is that Trump said they’d go after “the worst of the worst” first. A recent article published by Cato (link below) reported that 65% of the people picked up by ICE this year have had no criminal convictions and that 93% have had no violent convictions. Again, we see a leftie playing with words to exaggerate the narrative. “No convictions” doesn’t mean they aren’t wanted on charges somewhere. And “no violent convictions” definitely does not mean they’re good neighbors.

Deep into the article, the author admits that 29% of illegals detained by ICE this year have had criminal convictions. IOW, nearly a third of those have been convicted of (not just charged or suspected of) committing crimes such as human trafficking, prostitution, drug smuggling, burglary, property damage, etc. etc. etc.

So, cry me a river if some of the “hardened” illegals who have flouted our immigration laws for however long have been getting picked up with the MS-13 gang bangers. I don’t care if they got caught fishing without a license; just being here at all made them illegal. Trump gave them a very generous opportunity to self-deport and get on a list for genuine immigrants. They chose to stay. I am happy to have ICE show them the door.

DAILY PRAYER: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

AIR: Last night, a passenger plane carrying 64 people and a military helicopter collided near Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C. They have recovered 27 bodies so far and do not believe anyone survived.

BORDER: POTUS is directing the Pentagon to prepare a facility at Guantanamo Bay to house up to 30,000 illegal thugs. “Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back. … [Guantanamo’s] a tough place to get out of.”

CALI WATER: As the LA fires burned, Trump accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom of refusing to sign legislation that would have “allowed millions of gallons of water … to flow daily” into areas of California including its southern parts. Less than 72 hours after Trump stepped, the flow of fresh water from norther CA to southern has more than doubled.

CATHOLIC: Catholic Charities has been active in promoting Biden’s open border agenda. But Catholic social teaching asserts that: 

  1. The civil authority’s primary duty is to the common good of its own people, who form the “household of the nation.” 
  2. Hospitality towards migrants must be guided by prudence and ordered to justice, not by abstract ideals divorced from reality. 
  3. Unchecked immigration can undermine civil society, exploit both native workers and migrants, and serve the interests of global capitalism at the expense of the common good. 

CONFIRMATION HEARING: Yesterday, Bobby appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance. The Big Pharma politicians were easy to spot.

Some of them got really nasty. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, said, “Mr. Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. It has been lucrative for him, put him on the verge of immense power.”

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) asked, “When was it that you decided to sell out the values you’ve had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?”

Kennedy will appear at another hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions today, but only Finance gets to vote on whether to advance him to a full Senate floor vote.

LAKEN RILEY ACT: POTUS signed this GOP-led bill into law, his first legislation since taking office Jan. 20.

SELLING BABY BODY PARTS: As I’ve reported many times before, David Daleiden and his Center for Medical Progress famously exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal trade in human organs. CLICK https://x.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1872835273647898720 [:18] to see one clip.

Daleiden also exposed that PP was not reporting rapes, as law requires. Rather than go after the perpetrators, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris filed charges against Daleiden and his colleagues.

FINALLY, after a decade, California has dropped the case!

GRAMMY NOTES: Oy vey … this takes me back! I had those buffalo sandals and too short skirts! And Dearest’s photos from that era look a lot like that guy on the left.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please show us our sins as You see them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORDER: Unlike her predecessor, Trump’s Homeland Secretary had her boots on the ground.

In other news, two Colombian military planes picked up 200 illegals and took them home. And now, CLICK https://x.com/Tr00peRR/status/1884259058632516056 [1:51] to listen to Tom Homan show us how to handle hostile jerknalists.

BUDGET: In its efforts to be good stewards of our money, the Trump administration has frozen all federal loans, grants, and other financial assistance until they can be assessed. These do NOT include Medicare or Social Security benefits. A federal judge ordered the administration to refrain from blocking “open awards,” or funds that had been slated for disbursement, until at least Feb. 3, so the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent out memos rescinding the freeze order.

CONFIRMED: [6:48] – Former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy has been confirmed to replace Mayor Pete as Secretary of Transportation.

DRONES: As promised, Trump has looked into the spate of mystery drones first seen over New Jersey late last year. Most were authorized to be flown by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for research and various other reasons. The rest were flown by hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. The latter increased due to curiosity. “This was not the enemy.”

EFF YOU: A week before he left office, Slow Joe extended his welcome to 800,000 “refugees” (including gang members). Today, Trump rescinded it.

LAWFARE: Trump’s Acting Attorney General has fired more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump. This was about draining the swamp, not getting revenge.

LEAVE PLEASE: In his effort to reduce our bloated federal government, Trump is offering resignation incentives to nearly all federal employees. If they resign before Feb. 6, they can continue to get a paycheck until September.

LEFTY LOONIES: [11:32] – Actually, nothing about the illegal aliens Homan is rounding up are her people. Selena Gomez was born in the U.S. to a U.S. citizen of Italian descent and a legal immigrant from Mexico. She had limited contact with her father and does not speak Spanish. One supposes she is also not a murderer, rapist, or child molester. And I’m pretty sure none of the thugs being rounded up are wealthy celebrities.

MILITARY: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1cF5YMmK5So to see a command board being updated.

PROTECTING CHILDREN: Trump has signed an executive order ending Biden-era funding for so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for individuals under 19 years old. We will no longer “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ’transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

STATE DEPT: On Sunday, SecState Rubio paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavit announced two programs to cut immediately. One is the $37 million we were about to be sent to the WHO; it’s not needed since Trump’s executive order broke ties with them. The other is the $50 million taxpayer dollars we’ve spent on condoms for Gaza via Planned Parenthood, scores of which were used to create IED-carrying balloons that winds carried into southern Israel.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM: In light of the public’s vastly decreased trust in and use of legacy media, the Trump administration will be allowing independent journalists and content creators to apply for press passes to media events. In addition, a seat previously reserved for the press secretary’s staff will now be used to seat new journalists who may have never been inside the historic James Brady briefing room.

CALIFORNICATION: Back to the early 2000s. California’s Central Valley grew 25% of our national agricultural output. Then, enviro-whackos decided the Delta Smelt was more important than hungry Americans and forced California to stop pumping fresh water from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers to the Central Valley and further south.

For seventeen years, the Democrats in California did nothing to save the farms or stop Southern California’s reservoirs (and the fire hydrants they serviced) from being drained dry. Yesterday, Day Eight of the new administration, The Donald fixed it.

As SoCal was burning, Gavin’s sanctuary state legislature held a special session to divert money from their budget to pay for legal support for the child molesting, raping, murdering, gang banging illegals that Tom Homan is rounding up. They’re also thinking it would be a super duper good idea to force oil companies to pay for the damage the fires have done.

CNN: During the first Donald Trump administration, Jim Acosta occupied one of the prime, front row seats in the White House briefing room, where he became famous for his whining and anti-Trump grandstanding. More recently, he’s hosted the network’s 10 am slot.

COLOMBIA AFTERMATH: Rich cracked me up with his latest graphic! My other favorite was Dan Bongino’s podcast entitled “Trump Alpha Males Colombia.”

CONFIRMED: Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Scott Bessent’s nomination for Treasury secretary in a 68–29 vote. The billionaire investor will be spearheading Trump’s plan of cutting taxes and curbing deficits, while putting forward a tariff plan that also facilitates growth.

EL SALVADOR: Trump can alpha male nations like Colombia with tariffs, but that won’t work with a nation like Venezuela. His solution is to broker a “Safe Third Country” agreement with El Salvador’s President Bukele. The agreement would empower U.S. immigration officials to deport non-Salvadoran migrants to El Salvador. If they’re good people, they can settle in the now-peaceful country. But if they’re criminals, terrorists, or gang members, they can join the thugs in one of the country’s infamous prisons. CLICK https://x.com/CNN/status/1857168610852000247 [9:37] to see what awaits.

FAKE NEWS: New York Magazine cropped three black people from the photo they used for their inauguration cover. Then, they claimed it was an all-white event.

FEDS: After the pandemic ended, Biden authorized federal employees to continue working from home. As of last year, only 6% of them were actually coming into their offices and doing their jobs. The rest were drawing their salaries and doing … whatever. Trump has ordered them back to work. The ordered, which he signed on Friday, says, “Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary.”

LAB LEAK: The ‘rona opinion that once got you censored or worse is now the official U.S. government opinion. And it’s not because Trump declared it so. The FBI and CIA had both decided a Wuhan lab leak was the most likely source while Biden was still in office. All that has changed is that this fact has now been made public.

LEFTIES LOSING IT: On Saturday, Lenawee County (MI) Democrat Party Chairman Bill Swift posted, “[Trump’s supporters] should be arrested, and they should be facing the death penalty. They should be hanged by the neck until dead. I believe this is one of the few areas of the law where I believe the death penalty should be imposed.”

And speaking of crazy-eyed Dems … Gov. Jackboots Whitmer’s leadership has cost her state another 45,000 jobs. This year’s Simplify LLC report put Michigan at #41 out of 50 in its list of best states for entrepreneurs. Last year, Michigan was #35.

MILITARY: On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for the “immediate” construction of an Iron Dome missile defense system to protect America from hostile outside threats. He also signed E.O.s directing his new Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, to get transgender ideology out of our military, to stop service members from being indoctrinated with CRT, and to offer reinstatement to service members who were booted for refusing the Fauci Ouchie.

POTUS APPROVAL: A new poll shows Trump with a +2 favorable rating in Deep Blue New Jersey. Forty-eight percent of the polls respondents said they had a favorable view of Trump, compared to 46% who did not. A further 6% of voters were neutral. In November, Trump got 46% of the vote compared to Kamala Harris’ 52%, a result that was actually closer than what we saw in the swing state of Arizona.

RFK Jr: A left-wing dark money group called Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is allowed to receive unlimited contributions from anonymous donors, is bankrolling “Stop RFK War Room”, which opposes Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. Their ads accuse him of spreading “deadly lies about vaccines.” When RFK Jr was running for president, the Sixteen Thirty Fund supported him via “Retire Career Politicians”, which bought ads saying he “isn’t afraid to tell the truth about vaccines.” One guess who the Sixteen Thirty Fund is really all about.

SANCTUARY CITIES: Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), has called on four mayors – Chicago’s Brandon Johnson, Boston’s Michelle Wu, New York City’s Eric Adams, and Denver’s Mike Johnston – to testify publicly at an oversight hearing on February 11, 2025. 

These sanctuary cities have refused to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and U.S. immigration laws. Comer said his goal is to determine whether further legislation is necessary to ensure that federal immigration law is enforced and that criminal aliens are swiftly removed from our communities.

STATE DEPARTMENT: Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued a directive ordering that “sex, and not gender, shall be used” on official documents. This means U.S. passports may no longer have “X” instead of “M” or “F.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I commandeered Dearest’s long-neglected Rolodex and bought new cards for it. I’m having such a good time creating daily blessings with them. ❤ (Photo: Our girls in 1986.)

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today that You ease any pain, sadness, or grief we may be experiencing. Wrap us in your loving arms and give us the strength to be humbly stubborn. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2020 to 2024: [13:35] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eCi2YngY2iI to hear how clueless Biden was. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8bHUotBC-7w to watch Jake Tapper admit that Trump was right. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iqJA3uRE8U0 to hear why we should be thanking God for allowing Biden’s train wreck to happen.

BORDER: That there is a noisy, uncomfortable cargo plane. No comfy commercial airliner for them! – CLICK https://rumble.com/v6cpkda-listen-to-what-criminal-illegal-immigrant-shouts-as-hes-arrested-by-trumps-.html [5:11] to see some of the nearly 1,000 illegal aliens that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested since Trump took office. They include child sex offenders, gang members and other criminals from Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal and Venezuela.

CLICK https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1882842972150288732 [2:47] to see the Leathernecks arrive to help secure the southern border. Unsurprisingly, there has been a sharp drop in illegal alien encounters there since Trump took office.

CONFIRMED: Vice President Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote, but Pete Hegseth has been confirmed for Secretary of Defense. When Trump learned Republicans Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) had all voted against Hegseth, he said, “We won. Winning is what matters, right?”

McConnell’s vote is very revealing. His state went for Trump by 30 points, so he clearly has priorities that are higher than what his constituents want. Also, he voted in favor of Biden nominee, Lloyd Austin, who was on Raytheon’s board of directors at the time.

DEPORTATIONS: In Florida, when a jerknalist asked about “undocumented immigrants” working in Florida, Gov. DeSantis interrupted him, saying, “The federal government has made clear that the statutory term, it’s not undocumented, they’re illegal aliens. That’s the statutory term.”

FAUXTUS: Before leaving office, Biden savaged the SCOTUS decision about executive privilege, saying it meant Trump would be able to commit any old crime he wanted. Then, he preemptively pardoned all his co-conspirators. I notice he did not pardon himself, maybe because he’s counting on that SCOTUS decision to protect him. What a hypocrite.

MARCH for LIFE: [12:52] – CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1882859223740239918 [4:17] to hear the video message POTUS Trump pre-recorded, because he was in North Carolina with hurricane victims during the march.

S&G: Trump hasn’t even been in office one week and he’s already gotten Biden’s case against Dr. Eithan Haim dropped. In 2023, Haim anonymously blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital for violating Texas law by performing sex-change operations on kids. Biden’s DOJ launched an investigation into the whistleblower and the nurse who assisted him. Thank God for Donald Trump, who has made free speech and protecting kids great again!

VAXXXINE: [13:55] – A new study entitled “Behavioral and Health Outcomes of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case-Control Study in Japanese Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises” was published last month. The researchers found that people who had received one or two ‘rona jabs were 85% more likely to come down with COVID-19 than were those who were never vaccinated. Even worse, the odds of catching the virus increased with subsequent doses.

GRAMMY NOTES: We banned set of three sixes in Rummy, because it creeped me out to play it. The rule has actually made the game more interesting.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for extra special blessings on all who have responded to Your call to ministry. Grant them protection wisdom, insight, and courage to do Your will. And protect them from assaults by all who hate them because they hate You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: [2:59] – A judge in Seattle has issued a temporary restraining order that prohibits the Trump administration from enforcing Trump’s order. The judge called the order “blatantly unconstitutional”, but Trump says babies born to those who are here illegally do not qualify.

BORDER: Yesterday, the Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors.

The Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft. The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept.

CONFIRMATIONS: The Senate has approved John Ratcliffe to serve as the next director of the CIA. That makes two!

DEMOCRAT vs REPUBLICAN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7E_-yqY2tVs to hear Nick Freitas describe an instance of one of my pet peeves about the way the Left approaches legislation.

MEDIA: ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to President Donald Trump to settle his defamation lawsuit. On March of this year, George Stephanopoulos repeatedly said Trump was “liable for rape.” Last year, a jury found Trump guilty of “sexual abuse” and ordered him to pay the alleged victim $5 million. “Sexual abuse” and “rape” have specific definitions under New York law.

PRO-LIFERS: [20:22] – At 3:30, President Trump signs pardons for peaceful protesters who were persecuted and prosecuted by the Biden administration. Thank God Almighty, they are free at last! “This is a great honor to sign this.” Also, at 4:28, he declassifies all files related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. It’s interesting to watch him answer question after question after question from journalists. What a change from ol’ what’s his name.

CLICK https://x.com/MrsBevelynW/status/1882663531549688206 [2:17] to see Bevelyn Williams’ release. Joe Biden and Merrick Garland got her sentenced to 3 years in jail for peacefully protesting abortion. The judge specifically said she was imposing the ridiculous sentence to make an example of the young, stay-at-home mother of a two-year-old. Thanks to Trump, she’s free. You’ll need a tissue!!

GRAMMY NOTES: When my #2 daughter joined the Army, #1 (Mama) and I collaborated on a Shutterfly version called “Good Morning, Moon.” #2 gave us the idea when she was telling us about getting up before dawn for PT and remember her beloved children’s book every time she saw the moon in the sky. The text:

On the dark Army base, there was a bugler And a flag pole And rows of sleepy soldiers lining up for PT.

Good morning, Drill Sergeant. Good morning, breeze. Good morning, tendons. Good morning, knees.

Good morning, push ups. Good morning, rocks. Good morning, sit ups. Good morning, socks.

Good morning, moon. Good morning, dew. Good morning to the good ol’ red, white, and blue.

Good morning, sunrise. Good morning, air. Good morning to soldiers everywhere.
