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.

SECRET SANTA: “Healing is not linear.” [6:10] – May God bless this amazing woman. I need a tissue.
SHUTDOWN: Too bad it took him 42 days too long to remember to stand up for the people who pay his wages.
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.
