DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for letting us know how it all turns out in the end. In Jesus’ Name, Hallelujah!

CALI: The California Air Resources Board has repealed the state’s zero-emission purchasing rule for private fleets, putting the final nail in Newsom’s push to mandate electric vehicles in the trucking sector.

J6: Social media has been aflame with reports that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Director Patel has clarified that the agents were not there before, but only sent in after the Metro Police declared it was a “riot.” He also noted that sending agents in to do crowd control “goes against FBI standards” and that then-Director Wray should have disclosed this information when he was asked by congressional leaders.

Patel also said, “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened. Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”

LIFE: “I spoke with a woman outside Planned Parenthood who was needing a pregnancy test, but PP wouldn’t give to her for free. So I told her about our pregnancy resource center and how they would give her a FREE test along with so much additional support if her test is positive, and she just started crying. She said she wouldn’t be able to have a kid. I told her that if she is pregnant, there are so many local organizations that will help her parent or choose adoption, but that we had time to talk through all her options. But, her first step was to take the test and connect with the center, which she did!” –Ramona, Indiana Advocate

ABC is licensed by the government to use public airwaves. People can say whatever they like on cable television channels. But on public channels, they have to obey the FCC’s rules, one of which is “no lying.”

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless all of the parents, teachers, administrators, and government agencies charged with the sacred responsibility to educate our children. Grant them patience, courage, and wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

TRUMP: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1687353678625445 [5:26 ] to hear what Trump promised a veteran who was getting the runaround from the VA. The veteran posted this to the video: “Scott Zimmermann – He did what he said he was going to do. The VA Hospital I go to has done a 180° turnaround. The VA claims process has sped up from months/years to only weeks/months. The quality of care is way better also.”

BORDER: On January 13, 2025, one week before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, the Biden administration allowed Yordanis Cobos-Martinez (37) to go into the U.S. The Cuban national, who is here illegally, has a lengthy violent criminal history that includes arrests and convictions for grand theft motor vehicle, false imprisonment, carjacking, and indecency with a child through sexual contact.

He is now in police custody after beheading a man in front of the victim’s spouse and child then kicking the head around like a soccer ball. A video shows him kicking, then picking up and carrying the blood-dripping severed head to a dumpster.

CANCELLED: Companies across the United States have issued warnings to employees that they won’t have a job to go back to on Monday if they post comments celebrating or mocking the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Among the already fired or suspended pending investigation: multiple Delta and American Airlines pilots and employees, military service members, various university professors and staff, a U.S. Secret Service agent and a Department of War civilian employee.

CHRISTIANITY: [5:19] – This is a wonderful testimony and reminder of our duties to new converts.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord, awaken Your Church in America to be a light in the darkness. May we stand boldly for Your Truth. Amen.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Pour an abundance of comfort on the Kirk family. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ASSASSIN: Tyler Robinson’s family says he had criticized Charlie Kirk, saying he was “full of hate and spreading hate.” The only people saying such things were and are left-wing liberals. Charlie himself was full of God’s love and sought every day to spread that love wherever he went.

CLICK https://x.com/JeepguyTexas/status/1966457199057629352 [:28] to hear Malcolm X say, “Liberals are the most dangerous people in the western hemisphere.”

One thing I’ve found is that many of them refuse to listen. When our pastor accused our military of torturing people, we tried to hand her a copy of the section in the UCMJ that specifically forbids torture. She turned her head away and refused to take the papers. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

There is so much ugliness on social and legacy media right now. I’ve tried so hard not to post any of it, but I think this brief incident demonstrates all of it in just forty seconds. CLICK https://x.com/camhigby/status/1966709924748267843 [:39].

EPITAPH: The fatal shot hit Charlie Kirk at 12:23 p.m. MT. John 12:23 says, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3Y_gkDIAopk to hear Charlie Kirk talk about how he would want to be remembered.

The force of the bullet knocked him to the ground. John 12:24-26 says, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=TmrGSbjDBlVcgj82

ERIKA KIRK: [16:16] – The organization Charlie founded, Turning Point USA, is committed to identifying, educating, training, and organizing students to promote freedom. Before Charlie’s death, TP USA had 9,000 college and 1,100 high school chapters. Since his death, they have been inundated with requests for new chapters. In the first 24 hours after Erika’s speech was broadcast, they received 18,000 such requests.

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2649448881929167 [1:07] to hear a young man play America the Beautiful outside the TP USA headquarters.

FIRED: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has fired a pediatric nurse for her appalling social media post about Charlie’s widow and children.

After learning that the man in a video joyfully celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk was an Eagles fan, Eagles President Jeffrey Lurie banned him and his family from attending Eagles games.

Holly DeNeve is an Indiana lawyer who no longer works for the Department of Child Services because she celebrated Charlie’s murder.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Amen.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Make us innocent as doves and wise as serpents. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS: [8:21] – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just published a report entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Within the Federal Government.” It recounts a “consistent and systematic pattern of discrimination” against Christians by the Biden administration. The 48-page document is linked below.

In February, President Trump established the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, which is chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The task force is charged with ensuring that “any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified.”

BEWARE of FALST PROPHETS : CLICK https://x.com/DefiantLs/status/1965062570303517018 [:57] to hear a Christian preacher speak nonsense to score political points. Jesus was neither an “illegal immigrant” nor a “refugee.” Israel and Egypt were both part of the Roman Empire. His legal status was defined as a peregrinus, a common-born provincial who, while not a Roman citizen, was under the sovereign control of Rome. This status was not legally equivalent to foreign nationals who are here on valid visas, but it’s similar enough to understand that He was both documented and free to travel.

CARTEL WAR: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=752425524215883 [1:09] to hear Judge Jeanine lay it all out.

CHICAGO: On September 8, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in a drunk driving hit-and-run car wreck caused by a criminal illegal alien. The agency says, “This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets.”

MAHA: Best comment – “I propose calling Elizabeth Warren ‘Pharmahontas’ from now on.”

READ AND WEEP: I can’t go here.

SCOTUS: [11:14] – Justice Barrett talks with Brett Baier. Her new book, “Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution,” was released yesterday.

VAXXXINES: The Food and Drug Administration is investigating reports of child deaths after COVID-19 vaccination. They’re looking at the VAERS database, talking with family members of the deceased children, reviewing autopsy reports and having physicians do the review.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for all the abundance of Your creation. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ARROGANCE: Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City. He’s called on the president of the United States to debate him. ::smh::

BABYLON BEE: Speculation has been swirling about President Donald Trump’s health, with some people even spreading wild rumors that he died over the weekend. What’s the real story?

The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of undeniable signs that Trump’s health is going downhill:

  1. Trump has been occasionally posting in lowercase on social media, and his posts have been more coherent: This is not normal.
  2. He is sometimes seen sitting down: A sure sign of failing health. Obviously weak.
  3. He only managed to eat eight Big Macs today: It’s like he’s slowly fading away.
  4. The man’s frickin’ 80 or something: Obviously, anyone over 80 years old is at death’s door.
  5. Trump shakes hands with nobody, says nonsense, and wanders around aimlessly: Oh, wait, that was the last guy.
  6. He shot a mere 36 on the links this weekend: Sources close to Trump say he’s a shadow of his usual 24.
  7. He only works 23 hours a day now: A shocking decline in stamina.
  8. JD Vance beat him at Super Smash Bros. yesterday: This NEVER used to happen. Trump’s losing his touch.
  9. He introduced just 68 new tariffs in the last eight hours: This drop in productivity is concerning.
  10. Trump’s normally tangerine skin color is slowly fading to a burnt sienna hue: The end is near.

This is terrifying evidence. It’s obviously only a matter of time before Trump is out of commission. Did we miss any warning signs? Let us know in the comments.

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6yewme-mic-drop-trump-responds-to-viral-liberal-hoax-that-he-might-be-dead.html [:55] to hear Trump respond.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1963687639971778838 [7:46] to hear AG Pam Bondi reveal how the Biden regime used taxpayer dollars to promote trafficking of unaccompanied alien minors.

CALIFORNIA: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1963589920762523667 [:37] to hear Gavin Newsom in 2011 talking about his plan is to make California great again. He specifically talks about job growth. Under his leadership, California now has the highest unemployment rate in the country.

HAPPINESS: Please find time for this one! [28:16] – Arthur C. Brooks was a liberal until he researched charity. The result of his research is contained in his book “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism — America’s Charity Divide — Who Gives, Who Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.”

NEW MEXICO: In 2020, Biden carried the state by ten points and in 2024, Harris carried it by 5 points. Its voter registration rolls show it is flipping to red.

THESE TRUTHS: CLICK https://x.com/tedcruz/status/1963299914034663825 [1:26 ] to hear U.S. Senator Tim Kaine declare, on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, that he finds the idea that our rights come from God to be “extremely troubling.” Senator Ted Cruz said when he heard this, he almost fell out of his chair.

Democrat-Republican Thomas Jefferson: President of the United States; Vice President of the United States; Secretary of State; Governor of Virginia; Delegate from Virginia to the Second Continental Congress and principle author of the Declaration of Independence.

Democrat Tim Kaine: United States Senator from Virginia; Chair of the Democratic National Committee; Governor of Virginia; Lieutenant Governor of Virginia; Mayor of Richmond, Virginia; Member of Richmond City Council.

VAXXXINES: Use of the COVID-19 “vaccines” began in mid-December 2020. By July 4, 2021, 67% of the United States’ adult population had received at least one dose. Since that time, our population has suffered a staggering 20% increase in disabilities!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Bless our children with all the graces they need to become truly holy. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

1A: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1960495188352045143 [:23] to see a man who claims to be a veteran “challenge” Trump’s recent executive order by burning a flag near the White House. He shouted into his bullhorn, “Burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that house. … There’s a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. No president can make a law, period.”

He was arrested, not for peaceful protest by flag burning, but because he set a fire in a public park outside a designated area. As for making a law, Trump did no such thing. He merely encouraged prosecutors to apply to flag burning the SCOTUS ruling that speech intended to incite violence is not protected under the First Amendment.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recent rulin in Moncada v. Blinken could strengthen Trump’s efforts to stop illegals from dropping their so-called “anchor babies” on U.S. soil.

The case involved the son of a Nicaraguan diplomat who had assumed he was a citizen, because he was born here. When he applied for a passport, they told him he wasn’t eligible, because his father had had full diplomatic immunity. The court ruled that he is not a U.S. citizen, because IOW, he and his family had not been “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States at the time of his birth.

Being “subject to the jurisdiction” means being under the complete legal authority of the U.S. government, including its laws, courts, and regulations. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S.-born child of parents who were legal residents, though not citizens, was himself a citizen.

The question remains if those who are here illegally qualify as “subject to the jurisdiction” or not. IRS, anyone?

CABINET CLIPS: [5:05] – I asked Grok to explain Rubio’s joke about having four jobs. “The remark highlights Rubio’s unprecedented accumulation of high-level roles in the Trump administration, stemming from a series of appointments and interim assignments since his confirmation as Secretary of State in January 2025.The four jobs Rubio referenced are:

  1. Secretary of State: Rubio’s primary Cabinet position, confirmed unanimously by the Senate (99-0) on January 20, 2025. He leads the U.S. Department of State, overseeing foreign policy, diplomacy, and international relations.
  2. Interim (Acting) National Security Adviser: Appointed in May 2025 after President Trump removed Mike Waltz from the role amid a scandal involving unsecured communications (known as “Signalgate”). This position involves advising the president on national security matters and coordinating the National Security Council.
  3. Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Assumed in February 2025 as part of efforts to restructure and reduce the agency’s operations, including a freeze on foreign aid and significant staff cuts. USAID handles U.S. foreign aid and development assistance programs.
  4. Acting Archivist of the United States (National Archives and Records Administration – NARA): Also taken on in February 2025 following the dismissal of the previous archivist, Colleen Shogan, in what was described as an act of retribution related to past investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents. This role oversees the preservation and management of federal records.

CRACKER BARREL: If you’ve been following the brouhaha about the logo, here’s the latest. The new logo is kaputski. After the corporation lost over $143 million in market value, the bigwigs decided the old guy and his barrel should return.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to not make messes for You to clean up. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AI: Yesterday, Grok told me Orlando’s rainbow crosswalk had not been repainted in years.

BORDER: Remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the MS-13 gang banger who has been the poster boy for Democrats’ opposition to Trump’s deportation efforts?

The Laughing Stock Media continue to report that he was “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador, which is his home country. As a known gang member, El Salvador locked him up and the Dems sent emissaries to El Savador so they could take photos of themselves for fund raising.

El Salvador sent him back to face federal human smuggling charges and, on Friday, he was released to home detention while he awaits trial.

But wait …the United States had made a deal with Uganda to take deportees who, like Abrego Gardia, don’t want to return to their home countries or whose home countries refuse to take them. Uganda prefers they not be violent criminals. Since Dems insist Abrego Garcia isn’t a human trafficking, woman beating scumbag who works for MS-13, he could go to Uganda. Right?

CANADA: Starting next month, Canada will drop its silly retaliatory tariffs and do what Trump said, which is fairly match our tariffs.

CATHOLIC: In 662, Maximus was convicted of heresy for teaching that Jesus possessed both a human and a divine will, a position rejected by then-Emperor Constans. He had his tongue cut out and his right hand cut off, so that he could no longer speak or write about his opposition to the imperial theology. He died soon after. Eighteen years later, the Sixth Ecumenical Council declared that Christ possessed both a human and a divine will and Maximus was posthumously declared innocent.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: [6:41] – Sending kids to war to make money is so evil. ::smh::

EDUCATION: Loudon County is at it again. The uber woke North Virginia school district investigated three high school boys for complaining about a girl using their locker room, then let the Muslim boy off the hook, while punishing the other two, who are Christians. Jason Miyares, Virginia’s Republican attorney general, has announced an investigation into the school district over the incident. The Founding Freedoms Law Center is representing the two boys.

HOUSING: I’ve been watching a YouTube of proud tiny home owners bragging their weensy little $200K house was such a bargain. I mean … seriously?!

We paid $42,000 for our little ranchburger back in 1984. Granted, it was a nothing special starter home, but it was sturdy, everything worked properly, and it was/is in a great neighborhood. It had 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a partially finished full basement. IOW, much larger than anything that qualifies as a tiny house. At 210.8% inflation, a house like ours should cost about $130,000. But according to the map above, the average home in New York currently costs $482,700, which suggests even a starter home is going for waaaay more than $130K.

I plugged the NYS average income ($86K) into the mortgage calculator linked below. It says someone with that income should be able to comfortably afford a house costing up to $287,739. Wow. No wonder so many young people and retirees are opting for tiny homes!

WOKE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pCRjscIFnI4 to hear Nick Freitas comment on the neo-Nazi going to a female prison.

I also remember hearing that Japanese kids who learn early to eat with chopsticks and do origami have unusually good hand dexterity.

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.

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: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1958583144636195231 [1:24] to see Harjinder Singh, the illegal trucker who killed 3 people on August 13, get extradited from California. 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!

LIFE: Rose Docherty (75) was arrested in February for holding a sign offering conversation while standing within 200 feet of a hospital in Scotland that commits abortions. Thank God, the charges against her have all been dropped.

Pro-aborts want to silence sidewalk counselors, because they offer women alternatives. Pro-aborts do not care that more than half of the women who have had abortions report that they were coerced into killing their babies.

NEWSCUM: Lately, Gavin’s X account has featured Trump-mimicking, all-caps posts like the one above. These are reportedly written by a small team from his press office, though the governor says he is actively involved.

ROSE GARDEN: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1957897812009709735 [:30] to hear what Trump had playing when he showed off the white stone pavers that were installed to replace the grass that was a safety hazard, particularly for women in high heels. The project was overseen by the National Park Service and funded by the Trust for the National Mall and private donors. The rose bushes and floral borders were not changed.

THE VIEW: Co-host Ana Navarro called First Lady Melania Trump’s letter to Putin performative hypocrisy during a 3-minute Instagram video rant. If Jill Biden had done it, Navarro would’ve been squeeing about how gracious and First Lady-like it was.

WOKE: The Smithsonian often promotes overt left-wing ideology and historical spin. Last week, the Trump administration began moving to weed it out.
