MEDIA: Last week, the Washington Post published an article in which two unnamed sources claimed Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a Joint Special Operations commander to “kill everybody” during an anti-drug-terrorist operation in the Caribbean Sea. That was a lie.
MINNESOTA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/e-iFmNmjVyM to hear Nick Freitas respond to an arrogant Somalian providing yet more evidence that these people are not immigrants, but invaders.
TEXAS: [9:42] – I’m guessing the Biden DOJ went after him as a warning to all the other Democrats, “Toe the line or else.” Now he’s been pardoned by a Republican president.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please continue to shower Your graces on this couple. Draw them ever closer to You and keep them safe from all temptations to sin. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
Comment by Dr. Dawn Michael: “Listening to the hearing on removing the Hep B vaccine from the newborn schedule. The single most shocking moment presenters cited in studies showed that every SIDS death occurred in infants who received the Hep B shot at birth. There were Zero SIDS deaths in the unvaccinated healthy infants.”
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Create in us a true longing for You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BORDER: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has stopped adjudication on all immigration and naturalization cases from 13 nations and placed partial restrictions on 6 others. Citizens of these countries are now cut off from attempting to seek asylum, get green cards, or become U.S. citizens.
EVERYDAY HEROES: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=844645504642265 [:37] to see first responders in West Virginia pull a truck driver to safety after the 18-wheeler skidded off a snow-covered highway, leaving the cab dangling off a bridge nearly 100 feet above the ground.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING: Who could resist this 20-piece set of beard ornaments! (Besides me, I mean.) Sixteen of them are jingle bells; the other four light up.
MEDIA: NBC’s coverage consisted of the following single sentence within a White House roundup segment – “Federal prosecutors have charged dozens of people in Minnesota’s Somali community for allegedly stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money meant for social service programs.”
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Free our nation from all forms of corruption. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
THANKSGIVING: Andrew Wolfe has woken up and giving his nurses a thumbs up. He is also able to wiggle his toes. Great news, but he remains in critical condition, so keep praying please.
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1oItOwb1eeQ LOL. This reminds me of when Mama Buzz was that age and we were going to visit Dearest’s very conservative, easily offended grandparents. I tried to talk with her about how we would never EVER ask Grandfather if he had a penis. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bathroom, informing me that “penis” is a potty word.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless the American bishops and Pope Leo with a broader and more accurate understanding of our battle to save our country. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1191212856257538 to see extraordinary footage of what happened to a man who tried to break into a Tabernacle. Stay to listen to the priest’s important message after. I’m sorry the thumbnail is so hard to see.
EPSTEIN: [7:30] – “It’s not like they were 8 year olds.” That reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg saying it wasn’t that big of a deal that Roman Polanski had drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, because “It wasn’t rape rape.” CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1341929594065803 [1:56] to hear why we still support Trump.
EVERYDAY HEROES: When it was their turn to have pictures taken with Snow White, Brody was having an autism meltdown. His mom writes, “Snow White was absolutely amazing with him! She kissed, hugged and cuddled him. He was laying his head crying on her lap. She then took him for a walk away from the crowd. She was amazing. She held his hand, danced with him, took him over to a bench and sat with him. She went above and beyond! She took so much time with him and was a pure angel! She was simply magical, and my family is forever thankful and touched.”
FLOOD MANAGEMENT: Fascinating! [26:12] – Where I live, flooding is a given. I never thought it would be a problem in the high desert. I know this one is long, but I was riveted, so maybe you will be also. 🙂
ICE: On November 9, Akhror Bozorov (31) was arrested while he was driving an 18-wheeler in Kansas. In 2022, Bozorov’s native Uzbekistan accused him of having ties to terrorists and issued a warrant for his arrest. He fled to the U.S. where, in February 2023, he was arrested by Border Patrol attempting to cross the border.
Despite the fact that his home country has labeled him a terrorist, the Biden administration granted him authorization to work and released him. Then Pennsylvania, under Gov. Josh Shapiro, gave him a Commercial Driver’s License. Cuz, yeah, terrorist illegal aliens should totes be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways.
Even worse, Bozorov’s driver’s license has a REAL ID star on it, meaning he could use it to board a domestic flight or enter a secure federal facility or military base. Cuz, why wouldn’t we want to give terrorist illegal aliens ready access to high value terror targets?
According to the TSA website below, only someone who has met “all federal regulations that establish minimum security standards” can get a REAL ID. Riiiiiiiiight.
LIFE: I have never understood abortion for terminally ill fetuses. If the only life they get is in the womb, then let them have every minute. And let them die peacefully, not torn apart or burned to death. I have personally known two women who received the devastating news that their babies would not live much beyond birth. Both carried to natural delivery and never regretted it.
PHILATELY: I definitely want one of these for my collection! The origami crane has long been a symbol of hope, peace, and healing. The stamp was designed using a photograph from the Peace Crane Project. The following is from their website –
“The Peace Crane Project invites every student on the planet to fold an origami crane, write a message of peace on its wings, then exchange it with another student somewhere in the world. The Project builds friendships, strengthens hand-eye coordination and writing skills, teaches geography, exposes students to new languages and cultures, and EMPOWERS YOUTH to make a difference in their community, country, and world. Classrooms, teachers, students, schools, community groups, and individuals are welcome. It’s FREE to participate!”
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Pour out Your Spirit of reconciliation upon every community in our great nation. Let forgiveness flow like a river and love mend what hatred has torn. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
TRUMP SHOOTER: [7:18] – Miranda Devine reports that the Biden FBI lied to Congress and the American people about what the shooter’s online history revealed. After the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, PA, then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks’ online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology.
However, Crooks’ accounts on YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora showed that, while he had briefly been pro-Trump, he had switched sides, becoming radicalized and increasingly obsessed with political violence. All of this happened under his real name. There’s simply no way the FBI didn’t know it when they told us the exact opposite.
GRAMMY NOTES: When our #2 enlisted, she had a college degree, so could have gone to OCS immediately. Saying that, if she was ever going to lead soldiers, she should first be a soldier, she chose instead to go to regular boot camp as an E-1 Private. When she met her husband, she was a Specialist and he outranked her. Despite knowing it would mean she would not only outrank, but also outearn him, he encouraged her to follow her dream. When she graduated from OCS, I couldn’t be there to see him give her her first salute, so watching this clip was doubly special for me. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pOcNYFBS3qc and maybe grab a tissue.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask that You will grant us each a clear understanding of how important our final years are in Your sight. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CATHOLIC: Powerful words! Make time to hear them with all your mind and heart. [21:09] – In a world that often neglects the elderly, Cardinal Sarah reminds us that God never forgets His faithful servants. Our lives continue to have meaning and our presence still carries a divine assignment.
DARWIN WAS WRONG: [14:26] – Dawkins and Meyer remind me a lot of other left-wing and right-wing apologists. On the left, we see sneering, personal attacks; on the right, we see calm and rational logic.
EPSTEIN: [7:36] – And people wonder why the files weren’t released during the Biden administration?
MICHELLE: CLICK https://x.com/MrReaganUSA/status/1989538382720970765 [1:01] to hear this hyper privileged woman whine about how persecuted she is. “Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out CURLY. When we straighten it to follow YOUR beauty standards, we are TRAPPED by the straightness! That’s why so many of us can’t swim, won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It’s exhausting, expensive and takes up so much time!! Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get outta our hair?!” — Michelle Obama
Are we also responsible for her decision to have her black nose caucasized? This woman needs Jesus.
PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1989620769459245191 [:16] to hear AOC falsely state that Trump had a “close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.” What is horrifying is that AOC can lie and slander so glibly. The emails prove the opposite. In fact, they show top Clinton and Obama officials were Epstein’s friends and associates.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We pray today for those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they will seek You and find peace and eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SCAM CENTER TASK FORCE: [27:30] – U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro explains what the Trump administration is doing to protect us from Chinese crypto-scammers.
SHUTDOWNS: [8:16] – Today’s Democratic Party does want the United States to fail.
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1989391689136681001 [2:00] to hear a psychotherapist talk about the 75% of his patients who are “hyper fixated” on Trump. “This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” Colin Rugg posted, “Pray they find God. Politics is their religion and it’s all they have, which is why they have mental breakdowns when things don’t go their way.”
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AckSKU6IX24 to see what Stella did. A commenter posted, “Kid had a strong spirit, she will go far in life.” Indeed! On her first time out on skis, our #2 took off down the hill before we’d taught her how to snowplow. She face planted into a snow drift at the bottom of the hill, got right back up, and wanted to go again. She is now a wife, a mom, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. military. :-)<3
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Prepare us now for when You return. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BBC: Last week, The Telegraph reported that the BBC’s premiere investigative program, the longest-running in the world, deceptively edited Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, to make it seem like he called for violence at the Capitol.
Both the BBC Director General Tim Davie & News CEO Deborah Turness have been forced to resign. Trump’s lawyers have also sent a letter to the BBC, demanding the network retract “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about Trump that were “fabricated and aired by the BBC”
“Failure to comply will leave President Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to recover damages for the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that the BBC has caused him to suffer, with all rights and remedies being expressly reserved by President Trump.”
CATHOLIC: Please pray a Hail Mary for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.
CORNELL: Cornell University has agreed to pay the federal government a $30 million fine over three years and the DOJ has agreed to stop investigating all the ways the university has violated federal civil rights laws. Federal grants (about $250 million) to the institution will thus be unfrozen.
N.b., I chose the graphic above because it shows the building where Dearest and I first met in January 1979 and where we were joined in holy matrimony on October 13 of that same year.
EVERYDAY HEROES: “Mister, I miss my sisters,” my youngest said that first night. My name’s Marcus, and I grew up in foster care. I still remember the night they split me from my little brother, Aaron. That sound of him crying through the wall never left me. I promised myself that if I ever got the chance, no kid would go through that again. Years later, I became a foster parent. The first children who came were three brothers—Jayden, Malik, and Noah. They were polite, quiet, and scared to unpack. Then I found out they had two sisters, Ava and Chloe, living in different homes across town. That same night, Jayden looked up and said those words: “Mister, I miss my sisters.” I started calling everyone I could—social workers, agencies, judges. I begged until all five kids could live under one roof. The day they walked through my door together, the house finally sounded like home. When the adoption became official, all five stood beside me in court. I looked at them, and I told them, “You’ll never be apart again.”
FIFTY-YEAR MORTGAGES: “This just means your house will be owned by the bank until you die, and after. We don’t need 50 year mortgages. Get the illegal immigrants out of our country. Give America back to Americans.” ~ Matt Walsh
NYC: “Mamdani is going to run out of other people’s money much faster than other communists … because people in NYC are allowed to flee.” ~Nick Freitas
OBAMACARE: [5:17] – Democrats are blaming the sudden and very steep rise in Obamacare premiums on Republicans. But Republicans opposed Obamacare from the start. The shutdown during Trump’s first term was their attempt to scuttle it before it did irreparable damage to our health care system. The Obamacare premium subsidies, which are expiring, were also voted in by Democrats with the expiration date they’re now blaming on Republicans.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord Almighty, we place our nation under Your mighty protection. Defend our borders, our cities, and our people from every form of danger—whether seen or unseen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
PROGRESSIVES: These are the people who keep saying MAGA is a cult.
S&G: One of the largest branches of the German Protestant church has defended a pastor after she blessed a relationship between four men and declared the “polycule” was married “in the eyes of God.”
The event occurred at a “pop-up wedding festival” at the St Paul the Apostle church in Berlin which was offering free blessings for those who wished to avoid “lengthy formalities.”
The pastor said, “You could see right away that there was so much love between them. Why should God have anything against there being four of them rather than two?”
Maybe for the same reason He should have everything against treating marriage like it’s a sideshow carnival attraction.
TENNESSEE: [:35] – In addition to locating and safely returning 101 missing children as of Sunday, Nov. 9, the U.S. Marshals Task Force has arrested 2,342 individuals on various charges, clearing more than 1,000 warrants in 41 days.
DAILY PRAYER: Eternal Father, We offer You today the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Your Son in atonement for the sins of all the world. Amen.
CATHOLIC: [8:10] – This is a good explanation for why our devotion to Mary is biblical.
COLORADO: Abortion is not only legal in Colorado at any and all stages of pregnancy, it is also explicitly protected as a right in the Colorado state constitution.
MINNESOTA: In June, during a Minnesota House of Representatives floor debate over Medicaid eligibility for illegal migrants. Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her said, “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country. I tell you this story because I want you to think about who it is that you are calling illegal. My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here.”
Later that day, the state representative told a local news outlet that she and her parents were actually American citizens and that she had made the stunning claim in an attempt to inspire empathy from her GOP colleagues. In other words, she lied.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Merciful Father, Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create in us clean hearts. Help our leaders and citizens to seek You with sincerity and truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
SECRET SANTA: [7:44] – Another good one. “I’ll do my best to pay it forward.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz keeps a prayer art journal. Above is the page she made after meditating on this quotation from St. Josemaria Escriva. “God is calling you to serve him in and from the ordinary, secular and civil activities of human life. He waits for us every day, in the laboratory, in the operating theatre, in the army barracks, in the university chair, in the factory, in the workshop, in the fields, in the home and in all the immense panorama of work. Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine hidden in the most ordinary situations, and it is up to each one of you to discover it.” (FYI: Papa Buzz is an active duty military man who has been tasked to fight wild fires on a number of occasions.)
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us to be still and know You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
DEMOCRATS: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has announced she will not seek her 21st term. S’about time. She’s 85 years old! She has been one of the people who helped the globalists move our nation from Reagan to Mamdani. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1986094352951541858 [:24] to get what I mean.
HEALTH CARE: CLICK https://x.com/RealLindellTV/status/1986193403562893789 [1:13] to hear Hakeem Jeffries blame Republicans for the messes Obamacare and their open border freebies created. Democrats never have to take responsibility for the messes they create.
I truly hope all y’all who need to sign up for a new Medicare plan have an easier time of it than we did. They’re swamped and their computer system is glitchy. It took TWO HOURS. We already knew what plan we wanted before we called, so it was just a question of filling out forms. Two. Hours.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, End the shutdown and save us from socialism and Sharia. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SECRET SANTA: [5:06] – Another good one.
SHUTDOWN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/39banyQwmWk to hear Sen. Kennedy describe the two bills he is placing before Congress today. Legislators work for We the People. Their JOB is to do the budgets on time. How DARE they shut down OUR business, because THEY did not do their jobs!! How much more offensive that they continue to draw salaries while the rest of the employees either work for nothing or are on furlough?!?!?!?!
TALK TO THE HAND: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Rz2icYySZDg to hear a short discussion about the real meaning of compassion. Decades ago, I went to a clergy sexual abuse survivors retreat. The woman who specialized in this grueling work called this “entering into your darkness.” I think Jesus’s parable about the lost sheep speaks to this. So do the Works of Mercy. I’ve suffered from people doing this to me, but to be fair, I have also been in a few situations where I had NOTHING spare to offer someone who was hurting and had to push them away to protect myself.
WORST BOOK REVIEW EVER: Free Beacon’s review of Karine Jean-Pierre’s new book is so bad that Glenn Beck read it word-for-word on his show. It starts, “Karine Jean-Pierre can’t stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House press secretary became the highest-ranking openly queer, French-born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden. She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration. It is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language.” You can read the rest at the link.
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Send Your Holy Spirit on all those You have called to preach Your Word. Protect them from harm and keep them in the center of Your will. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BALLROOM: If the president were a Democrat, they’d be calling the change historic, visionary, and long overdue.
EVERYDAY HEROES: When Navy sailor Douglas Hegdahl was captured during the Vietnam War and thrown into the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison, he pretended to be clumsy, slow-witted, and illiterate. His captors gave him freedom to wander around the camp, because they thought he was too simple to be a threat. He memorized the names, capture dates, and conditions of 256 of his fellow prisoners, setting the information to the tune of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” which he sang silently in his head, day after day, so he wouldn’t forget a thing.
All of the POWs had agreed that no one would accept early release. However, when the North Vietnamese offered to send Hegdahl home as a propaganda stunt, his fellow prisoners told him to go. His “Old MacDonald” information was some of the most valuable intelligence of the war. He later attended the Paris Peace Talks and confronted the North Vietnamese with his firsthand information about the mistreatment of prisoners.
MILITARY: Secretary of War Pete Hesgeth has directed the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and its strike group to augment Trump’s war on drugs in Central and South America.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Remind us always that the only downsides of not praying are record levels of anxiety, depression, addiction, and loneliness. In Jesus’ Name, we PRAY. Amen.
SNAP: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be broke as of Nov. 1. If you’re able, google “food pantry near me” and donate. Every food pantry will be getting heavy traffic this month as low income families struggle to get through the Schumer Shutdown.
FYI: Ours has recommended that, unless we already have something, we donate cash rather than buy food to donate. Reason being, they can buy food for less than we can.
TRUMP: Libtards’ latest rant is, “He’s not leaving!” Puh-leeze. The man is a BILLIONAIRE with a gorgeous wife, wonderful family, a home and hobbies he loves. He is working for us, taking zero salary, but you’re sure he’s not leaving? We’re lucky he’s willing to do this for four years.

BORDER: After Trump’s executive actions stranded ~270,000 migrants in Mexico, Mexican police and National Guard units adopted aggressive tactics that exceed ICE’s typical operational style in reported use of force and speed of removals. CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1978327051531645128 to see some clips. Best comment: “Why is coming to America always the goal? Have they not realized we are racist, fascist, authoritarian, white supremacist, sexist, bigots, and Islamophobic? Did I forget anything?”
CATHOLIC: On Friday, Oct. 10, a man whose identity has not been revealed was arrested by security guards after he climbed onto the Altar of the Confession, located under Bernini’s baldachin, and urinated on it while tourists looked on in astonishment. In February of this year, a man severely damaged part of the main altar, breaking several candelabras. In June 2023, an individual of Polish origin stripped naked in the same place.
CHARLIE KIRK: On October 14 – Charlie’s birthday – President Trump honored him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also signed a presidential proclamation declaring October 14 the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.
DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1978182511839543653 [1:02] to hear three top Democrats bitch that Trump is on a revenge tour and warn that when they retake power, they’re going to go on a revenge tour.
EVERYDAY HEROES: [6:38] – Eighteen-year-old Leah Barcus, a Regent University student from Fredericksburg, Virginia, is the creator of a unique and beautiful ministry called “Joy Dolls.” Used American Girl dolls arrive by donation, auction or private sale, then are lovingly restored, dressed, tagged, boxed and gifted to children in distress. N.b., American Girl dolls currently cost $135 new. Outfits with shoes and accessories are $32 each.
MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/billmaher/status/1978140100614881421 to hear Bill Maher out the Leftist media for calling Gaza a “genocide” while totally ignoring what’s going on in Nigeria. The religious targeting is well-documented.
OBAMA: CLICK https://x.com/C_3C_3/status/1977871466214375694 to see the man who tried to frame President Trump for treason say he doesn’t want Trump to prosecute him and his cronies. Lara Logan comments, “Wow. The swagger is gone. You are looking at a man in the grip fear. Regardless of what we think, he knows what he has done.” Yep. Note the body language. Crossed arms and crossed legs, which often indicate defensiveness or discomfort in a conversation.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless the Republican Party with the graces needed to protect and defend the Constitution, while resisting the lures of power. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
SCOFFLAW: NY Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted for mortgage fraud for having claimed a house in Virginia as her primary residence for the purposes of obtaining a more favorable loan. In June 2025, a relative of James named Nakia Thompson (left) testified before a federal grand jury that she has occupied the property for years with her three children, that she neither pays rent nor contributes to maintenance and that James visits several times a year.
While it may be commendable of James to provide housing to her needy relatives, it should be pointed out that, as an attorney, Letitia James took an oath to uphold the law. Nakia Thompson (36) has a long history of criminal violations, including burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools, and child endangerment-related traffic offenses.
Because she is wanted in North Carolina for parole violations, AG Letitia “No one is above the law” James has been harboring a wanted fugitive. N.b., while this accusation has not been proven in court, it has been substantiated by court documents, probation records, and grand jury testimony.
SHUTDOWN: Dems keep yapping that their no vote on the CR is all about health insurance subsidies. They never mention the rest of the $1.5 trillion in spending they packed into their demands. CLICK https://x.com/theblaze/status/1978118352116588637 [:55] to hear just a few line items.
Best comment: “How is it even legal to give away money when we are so far in debt? No foreign aid until our debts are paid off.” ITA. Until we are debt-free, every dime morally belongs to our creditors.
TRANS: Non-conforming sexual identifications peaked in 2023 and have dropped sharply since, along with depression and anxiety. Self-identified heterosexuality has increased.
GRAMMY NOTES: My favorite comment on the video is “Today, we’re watching this on our phones.” [9:50] – I was born the year this was made. Dearest remembers when his home phone was on a party line with an operator. I am younger than he is and I grew up in a bigger town, so my oldest telephone memory was when our four digit phone number was changed to seven digits … right after my father had bought a case of matchbooks printed with his business name and our now-defunct four digit number. We finally used up the last of those matches around the time I graduated from high school. My siblings were like, “What do you meanthere’s nomatches?! There’s always matches!” LOL
EVERYDAY HEROES: On July 15, while driving on Interstate 75 near Resaca, Georgia, Hugh Cox passed out behind the wheel of his SUV due to a diabetic coma. His 10-year-old grandson, Drake, was the only passenger in the car.
As the SUV drifted into another lane on the high-traffic highway, Drake quickly called his mom. She instructed him to climb onto his grandfather’s lap, take the wheel, and carefully brake. Using the little driving experience he had from farm tractors, Drake managed to steer the SUV safely for nearly a mile, pulling it off the highway and calling for help.
Because of his courage, quick thinking, and bravery, Drake saved his grandfather’s life and prevented a potential tragedy. To celebrate his actions, local police honored him with the Citizen Service Award on his 11th birthday.

Grok says, “The Republican bill—formally the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (H.R. 5371)—is a ‘clean’ continuing resolution (CR). It extends federal funding at current fiscal year 2025 levels through November 21, 2025.”
PORTLAND: [12:07] – I think my favorite part is the geriatric hippie ukelele choir.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Awaken our nation and bring us all to our knees. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
SHUTDOWN: [12:17] – The Democrat bill reminds me of a toddler who threatens to hold his breath until he DIES if he doesn’t get what he wants.
UNCLE TOM: [3:59] – The true story of the hero of the book and of how his name was turned into a slur.
