DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You again (and again and again) for saving Donald Trump’s life and raising him up to lead our nation out of the pit. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tVkqXu6mq4c to hear some truth about the 14th amendment.

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. Despite getting good viewer numbers, which doesn’t mean that much at CNN these days, the failing network has offered the jerknalist hack the midnight to 2 am slot or the door. The drinking fountain crowd reports he plans to take the latter option. CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1884065826497868091 [1:18] to see when POTUS 45 spanked Acosta on live t.v.

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.

National Sanctity of Life Day

DAILY PRAYER: Almighty God, please bless our children with good friends and positive role models. Surround them with people who will encourage and inspire them, and who will help them to grow in their faith and character. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1882061584773816367 [:47] to hear Tom Homan announce they’ve arrested 308 serious criminals on the first day. I don’t know if the guy in the photo was among them, but I hope he’s near the top of Homan’s list.

DRILL, BABY, DRILL: I saw some Trump haters sneering about how gas prices didn’t go down the day after the inauguration. Au contraire! Crude oil prices dropped by more than 2 percent during the Jan. 21 trading session.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://x.com/jammles9/status/1881743885648757101 to see a montage of the last 4 years. Whoopi Goldberg said, “I miss him already.” ::eyeroll::

MELANIA: I was really skeptical about Melania’s inauguration outfit … until I saw how it prefaced her inaugural ball gown. Stunning duo!

MILITARY: These are the same clowns who once told Drill Sergeants they were not allowed to call recruits by their rank, because “privates” is an embarrassing word. Or something. – The Senate Armed Services Committee advanced Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Pentagon. Unlike Rubio’s nomination, this one will be close. In the committee, the 14 Republicans voted for him, while all 13 Democrats voted against him. Please pray with me that he is confirmed. Our troops need him.

NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. During yesterday’s national prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, she had the opportunity to express a unifying Christian message at the dawn of the new administration.

Instead, she spewed again her often-stated contempt for Donald Trump saying there are “some who fear for their lives” because of he is now in office. “They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.”

Uhhh … they’re here illegally, which de facto makes them criminals.

POTUS: The Trump administration issued a memo on Tuesday directing all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employees to be put on paid leave. The attorneys general from 22 states filed lawsuits against President Donald Trump’s executive order denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants and non-citizens. Authorities in Panama announced on Jan. 20 that they have launched an audit of the Hong Kong-based port operator that controls ports near the Panama Canal.

STATE DEPARTMENT: [14:32] – Secretary Marco Rubio started work today. “Our rights come from God.” Yes! – Under Biden, government buildings flew pride and BLM flags alongside Old Glory. That ended Monday.

VPOTUS: CLICK https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1882083118032846868 to see J.D. enter the Oval Office for the first time in his life. He embodies the American Dream.

YOU’RE FIRED: The Trump administration has ordered every government agency to shut down their DEI offices by today at 5 PM.
