DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to see and smell all the roses among the thorns. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: While most of the Chinese students and researchers are in the United States for legitimate academic reasons, some of them are here to spy on us and steal intellectual property. On May 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced we will begin to “aggressively revoke” the visas of Chinese students who pose a threat and will be giving stricter scrutiny of future visa applications from China and Hong Kong.

CHINA: U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer says China has been “slow rolling their compliance” with the May 12 trade agreement, “which is completely unacceptable.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says, “I am confident that the Chinese will come to the table when President Trump makes his preferences known.”

COURTS: A federal judge has ruled that DOGE employees who have satisfied the Training, Vetting and Mitigation Procedures may access the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which is used by the federal government to distribute trillions of dollars in payments. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Democratic-led states.

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump has the authority to rescind the temporary legal status the Biden administration gave half a million “refugees” they had flown here to reduce the numbers being recorded coming across the border.

ECONOMY: Core inflation has dropped to its lowest rate in four years. Hmm … four years.

ELON: Thank you for your service, Mr. Musk.

When I googled to get Bongino’s correct title, I got a taste of how the Laughing Stock Media are covering Bongino. I won’t waste your time; it’s what you would expect.

HAMAS: Israeli Omer Shem Tov, who was freed in February after spending 505 days in Hamas captivity, told CNN that his captors desperately wanted Kamala Harris to win the 2024 election. “They were very scared of him. … [A]s soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wanted to bring us back home. … When Trump became president, … they started giving [me] more food. … Stopped cursing me. They stopped spitting on me.”

HHS: Bobby Jr. has canceled a $766 million federal contract with Moderna for experimental mRNA-based H5N1 bird flu vaccine.

GALLUP’s latest poll asking, “How much confidence do you have in television news?” netted t.v.’s talking heads a minus 44 rating, with only 12% of respondents choosing “a great deal” or “quite a lot” vs. 56% choosing “very little” or “none.”

MIDDLE EAST: Last July, Israel took out Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas’s military wing.

Last October, they took out Yahya Sinwar, who was the leader of Hamas at the time and the mastermind behind Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bless our veterans in Purgatory and have mercy on them. Be not harsh in your judgment, but send angels to escort them to a place of refreshment. We ask this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

EULOGY: “Phil Robertson was an American icon and an inspiring hero to millions of Americans. Phil grew up impoverished in a house without electricity or a toilet, but became a brilliant entrepreneur. Phil was married to his high school sweetheart Kay for nearly sixty years. After an initial rocky period in their relationship due to alcohol and infidelity, Phil rededicated his life to Christ and witnessed to his faith the rest of his life. Phil and Kay raised an incredible family of four sons, 16 grandchildren and many more great-grandchildren. All the way back in 2013, when the woke era was first getting started, Phil offered a masterclass in how to overcome an attempted cancellation. Phil told GQ magazine he thought homosexuality was sinful. A&E tried to kick him off his own show, but he never apologized or backed down, and A&E soon had to bring him back. Phil was also the rare celebrity who was a proud warrior for the unborn. Rest in peace.” – Charlie Kirk

FBI: Dan Bongino posted a progress report to X in which he says they are working on the DC pipe bombing investigation, as well as the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. He note that they have decided to limit media interviews, instead reporting what they’re doing on X where he welcomes tips and suggestions. I have “followed” his account so I can keep y’all clued in as well.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, Fill our minds and hearts. Enkindle in us the fires of Your wisdom and Your love. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

8647: CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1926552847392378997 [:53] to see Lefties in Wichita, Kansas chanting a call for someone to get rid of President Trump. If challenged, they will say they just want him impeached, but if that is true, they should say so, because “86” also means “assassinate.”

If you google, you’ll find lots of left-leaning sites carefully downplaying the last meaning. But those are recent. I found a reference from a post by Carlos Diaz, dated October 05, 2007 that says, “86’d – To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase ’80 miles out and 6 feet under’ was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86’d originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating.”

CATHOLIC: [8:46] – So happy with Pope Leo’s support for Tradition!

CLICKBAIT: I was impressed by this (https://x.com/IndianaGPA/status/1926435665471791375) until I read more. Grok says, “The video showing a Polish pilot landing a Boeing 737 on one wheel is likely not real. It appears tied to Sławomir Mentzen’s 2025 presidential campaign, as the plane has “MENTZEN 2025” on it. No credible news or aviation reports confirm such an event, and landing a commercial jet on one wheel is extremely rare and risky, with no documented cases. The video’s promotional context and lack of corroboration suggest it’s staged.” [CtH: Bold added by me.] Other commenters noted the lack of sparks or smoke as the plane was skidding across the tarmac. We’re all going to have to learn how to tell AI from reality.

DOMESTIC TERROR: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1926018047204053210 [3:09] to hear Gabbard talk about how the Biden administration demonized and censored Americans who objected to their oppressive policies. When Lefties call us “fascists”, they are (as always) telling us who they really are.

FATHERHOOD: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dUrCh9Kc394 to hear a really inspiring message from Nick Freitas.

FTC: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 3-0 Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit against PepsiCo that was filed in the final days of the Biden administration. The suit, which accused the food and beverage giant of price discrimination, was rushed through just three days before President Trump’s inauguration. They said this “nakedly political effort to commit this administration to pursuing little more than a hunch that Pepsi had violated the law” would be a frivolous waste of taxpayer dollars.

PENNIES: It costs more than a penny to make a penny, so Trump has ordered the U.S. Mint to use up their stock of blanks and not make any more.

PSA: Good idea.

SHAME-FARE: The Turkish government is worried about obesity, so has dispatched health workers to each of the country’s 81 regions with weighing scales and tape measures. People with a BMI over 25 are referred to state-run centers, where they can receive free nutritional counseling and follow-up services. As obnoxious as this is, I gotta laugh as I scan the photos in the article below, cuz some of the “health” workers shown are fatter than the people they’re assessing!

SOUTH CAROLINA: The state’s supreme court has voted unanimously to uphold the 6-week abortion ban! [10 :25] – Roman Balmikov also reports on the current status of each state’s abortion laws.

AIR FORCE: Canceling eight wasteful contracts will save We the Taxpayers several billion dollar$.

AVIATION HISTORY: On March 12, 1985, a small aircraft with a jammed landing gear was saved in mid-flight by a mechanic who stood through the sunroof of a car going 90 mph. The daring rescue took place on a runway in St. Augustine, Florida, and remains one of the most unbelievable moments in aviation history.

BORDER: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has just rolled out a new update to its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The program provides a single, reliable source for verifying immigration status and U.S. The update will help eliminate voter fraud.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR: The DoL currently has 16,800 licenses for phone lines, but in the last 30 days only 4,000 were used (24%). Canceling the unused lines will save We the Taxpayers about half a million dollars per year.

DOGE: Over the last two days, agencies terminated 120 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $908 million. Almost half of that was for “technical services” in Mozambique.

The U.S. Census Bureau has done more than 100 additional surveys costing $2.2 Billion, many of which were never used. So far, five of them have been canceled, saving We the Taxpayers from spending $16.5 million to ask Americans stupid questions like, “In your entire life, have you had at least 12 drinks of any kind of alcohol, not counting small tastes or sips?”

DUMBOCRATS: Letitia James now says she “mistakenly” claimed Virginia residency in loan documents. Just like Comey says he “found” the 8647 seashells on the sea shore and had no idea what they meant.

EDUCATION: Trump is deadly serious about ending discrimination. Since Harvard has refused to comply with multiple DHS requests for information about its DEI initiatives and foreign student population’s harassment of Jewish students, Kristi Noem has issued an ultimatum. Harvard has 72 hours to comply or the ax falls. NO foreign students will be granted F- or J- non-immigrant visas. Period.

MEDICARE: The government, which is 7 years behind on its required audits of Medicare Advantage plans, will be caught up by the end of this year. Since various reports estimate overbilling at between $17 and $43 billion per year, these audits should result in billions of taxpayer dollars returned to the Treasury. Hmm … I remember the Biden administration hiring thousands of extra IRS staff to go after transfers as low as $600 … but they totally ignored billions in fraud? Sounds about right.

NO KO: According to CBS News, the brand new 5,000-ton-class destroyer “became unbalanced and was punctured in its bottom sections after a transport cradle on the stern section slid off first and became stuck.” Little Rocketman said, “This was a serious accident that could not have happened, could not be tolerated, and was a criminal act caused by pure carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism.”

NORTH CAROLINA: Charlotte City Councilwoman Tiawana Brown and her daughters, Antoinette and Tijema, have been indicted on federal charges of fraudulent use of COVID loans intended to support small businesses through the lockdowns.

The indictment says $15,000 of that money went to pay for a birthday party for Tiawana Brown. Word has it the party included a throne and a horse-drawn carriage. Brown says she paid the money back. Before serving on the City Council, Brown served four years in federal prison for fraud. She is also the founder of Beauty after the Bars(501c3), an advocacy organization committed to helping formerly incarcerated women.

SOCIAL SECURITY: After 11 weeks, the massive cleanup of Social Security records is complete.

Biden’s Cancer

By now, you have likely heard that Joe Biden is suffering from Stage 4, Grade 5, hormone sensitive, metastatic prostate cancer.

I was all set to be sympathetic until I learned more. CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1924284750333677758 [4:22] to hear why they likely knew this before he ran the first time and they definitely knew it when he ran the second time.

I’m also noticing that they chose to make this public right before the Tapper-Thompson exposé is set to be released. Counting down to Dems screaming “You can’t talk bad about a dying man!” in 3, 2, 1 …

The release of the Hur interview recordings seems another likely reason for the timing of the cancer announcement. If you recall, Robert Hur declined to prosecute Biden, because he said the jury would likely give a pass to a “sympathetic, well-meaning man with a poor memory.” IOW, he was not fit for trial, but he was fine to have his finger on the nuclear button. Make that make sense.

“Was President Biden’s cognitive decline a side effect of prostate cancer treatment? A recent study showed that four objective measures and one subjective measure of cognitive function were all significantly impaired by the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) used for metastatic prostate cancer treatment.” – Dr. Steven Quay

“Were President Biden’s falls a side effect of prostate cancer treatment? Aggressive prostate cancers are treated with drugs that block the production and action of testosterone, as the majority of cancers are driven by testosterone. Loss of testosterone causes frailty and muscle loss. Over one-third of patients taking ADT have at least one fall during 12 months of treatment.” – Dr. Steven Quay

In response to the above, Dr. Quay wrote, “Health care policies related to screening guidelines are designed for populations, often millions of people, with respect to a particular screening test. They take into account healthcare cost, downstream practises, etc. It is not credible to imagine that a Senator, Vice President, and President could not have undergone routine blood tests that included PSA. I repeat my belief that it would be malpractice to not test PSA in a male US President. Given that we are back in the situation of knowing that it is a 5 to 7 year process from diagnosis to metastatic disease. Yes, there are less than 5% of patients who can present with metastatic disease without primary indications via the PSA but…Come on, Man!!” – Dr. Quay.

<2008: “Sometime before 2008, Biden developed an enlarged prostate; biopsy showed no cancer. At an unspecified time before 2019, he took medication to counter what was diagnosed as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).” Some people are noting that doctors don’t usually screen for prostate cancer after age 70. Others say it depends on the patient. Given this medical history and the extreme importance of a POTUS’s health, doesn’t it follow that Walter Reed would have been extra careful to watch his PSA levels? Unless, of course, they already knew he had cancer and was being treated for it, but had to cover it up because ………. yeah, why would they do that?

December 2019: Following his annual physical, doctors report Biden is “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”

November 2021: Following his annual physical, doctors report Biden is “healthy” and “fit” to be president.

July 2022: CLICK https://x.com/Saveourcoast24/status/1924308658369765699 [:27] to hear Biden say he has cancer. Can you imagine the left-wing’s hysteria if Trump ever said such a thing? It would be 24-7 “either he has cancer OR he’s demented” and “IMPEACHMENT!” For Biden? I don’t even remember this slip of the tongue happening and I read the news almost every day for this blog.

February 2023: Following his annual physical, doctors declare Biden remains “fit for duty.“

February 2024: [4:24] – Following his annual physical, doctors declare Biden is “fit for duty.” CLICK https://x.com/n_ikay_/status/1924463673440965118 [2:46] to hear Dems and their shills in the media lie right along with his doctors.

July 2024: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the president has undergone a neurological exam three times since becoming president, as a part of each of his annual physicals at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

When questioned about why Walter Reed neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard had visited the White House three times, she said it was for the president’s health, but never says why. One wonders if it was related to the neurological side-effects of the drugs commonly used to treat prostate cancer. Like, maybe he had a crisis and his doctor had to come assess and adjust his dosage?

Shell Game

In September 2013, James Comey was appointed by Barack Obama to the position of Director of the FBI. On May 9, 2017, Donald Trump fired him. Despite having held this powerful position for four years, Comey’s X profile (@comey) says only, “Author of legal thrillers (latest, FDR Drive, out May 20th). Husband, father, pop. Lawyer, teacher, speaker. Taller and funnier in person.”

On May 15, 2025, James Comey posted the photo above to his Instagram account. He wrote that it was a “cool formation I saw on my beach walk.” “86” is slang meaning to “get rid of.” It can refer to anything from throwing out spoiled food to murdering someone. “47” is a reference to the current President of the United States.

After setting off a firestorm, Comey disingenuously posted the above. He was the FBI Director for four years, but doesn’t know what 86 means? Puh-leeze.

The kindest thing I can think is that he has a book coming out this week. If you didn’t know before, you do now. Senator Josh Hawley [MO-R] wasn’t amused.

Neither were these people …

Ed Krassenstein, whose bio suggests he has built his “career” largely on posting anti-Trump crap, jumped on the “86 47” wagon and posted his own version. Like Comey, he got a visit from the Secret Service.

Liberals are busy pointing out stuff like this. I think there is a significant difference between “86 46” and “86 47” which is that nobody ever took a shot at Joe Biden.

TRANS: “Anna” medically transitioned as a teen and has since destransitioned. He realizes he was just a gay man all along, not a girl, and blasted those pushing medicalization of kids outside a Riley Gaines event in Seattle. [6 :12] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PxJUpwWlCHw to hear Nick Freitas respond to a critic. @AmyW-m2p comments: “Freitas makes an excellent point – but there is an older, much more traditional reason for denying trans in the military: they are utterly reliant on medication to maintain their functions. Bipolars stable on meds can’t serve, nor can folks with high blood pressure. Any medical condition that can cause an issue without intervention is automatic grounds for denial… and that truth should never have been questioned in the first place.” I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I never got past my first interview with an Army recruiter because I was getting allergy shots twice a month.

GRAMMY NOTES: Also learn. My 3d pregnancy was very high risk; I needed 7 amnios before we were done. My daughter became agitated earlier and earlier in the procedure until, by the last one, they could barely get the needle in and out safely because of her thrashing.

Today is my birthday!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please give us the graces we need to make the “don’t care” part really true. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIG STICK: [19:42] – CLICK https://x.com/ABC/status/1919792210318340216 [1: 20] to hear Trump announce that the Houthis “don’t want to fight any more.” “We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships any more.”

According to Julien Miquel (YouTube), the correct English pronunciation for “Houthis” is HOO – theez (hard “th” as in bath).

BORDER: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JJQg92hXeqE to hear a wonderful message from an immigrant from Brazil.

CATHOLIC: The conclave opens today. Please continue to pray with us that God’s perfect will be made manifest in their choice of our next pope.

DOGE: A National Science Foundation grant for more than $800,000 has been canceled. The money was being used to train college science and math education majors how to promote “social justice” and “cultural responsiveness” in their classrooms.

Another $8.4 million has been saved by canceling three DEI training programs.

A further $198 million was saved by terminating 148 wasteful contracts, including one at HHS for “potency monitoring of confiscated marijuana samples.”

HORSE HISTORY: Every horse that ran in the Kentucky Derby is a direct descendant of Secretariat, who won the 1973 Belmont Stakes by an incredible 31 lengths.

HYPOCRITES: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1363860088066886 [:54] to hear Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden support work requirements for welfare recipients.

INDIA vs. PAKISTAN: In April, 26 male tourists were killed in a terrorist attack in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. Early today, India responded with airstrikes against terrorists in Pakistan-controlled territory.

MEDIA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U5wMAYX0PEs to hear yet another montage of sound-alike legacy news reports.

REAL ID: Starting today, you must have a REAL ID or a compliant document before boarding a domestic flight. Usually, a REAL ID takes the form of a driver’s license or a non-driver photo ID card issued by a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent. States may issue such documents even if they are not REAL IDs. If your document is also a REAL ID, this is indicated by the presence of a black or gold star in the top corner of the plastic card.

At present, every state, the District of Columbia, and federal territory issues driver’s licenses and non-driver ID cards that are REAL IDs. Some also issue non-REAL ID cards to citizens and residents. These non-REAL ID cards are often cheaper to obtain and do not require as many supporting documents, making them attractive to individuals who merely want a license or ID for everyday purposes. They are also regularly issued to illegal immigrants by some states.

Usually, these non-REAL ID documents will have a notation that reads “Not Valid for Federal Purposes” or an equivalent and will not bear the required black or gold star.

REPARATIONS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1gg_G9Gd0Pw to hear a black supremacist tell us why he “deserves” a million dollars. The way I understand it, President Lincoln gave his ancestor who was actually a slave 40 acres and a mule. Why does anyone owe this joker, who was never a slave, anything?!

SCOTUS: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an “unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy.”

The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down. Litigation continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1919930354359472325 [:59] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919993052619321836 [2:32] and https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1919584968570720291 [:40] to see clips from protests outside a Riley Gaines speaking engagement at University of Washington.

CLICK https://x.com/JanJekielek/status/1919902323842626018 [4:05] to hear US Asst. AG Harmeet K. Dhillon talk about what the DOJ is doing to fight gender transition procedures for minors.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’m gonna have a good time!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to trust that, even where You allow us to make sinful choices, You are simultaneously working all things “for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: Trump has created a second military zone along our southern border, a 63-mile stretch that runs east from the Texas-New Mexico state line in El Paso they’re calling the “Texas National Defense Area.”

ECONOMICS: It’s an odd take, them bitching that he is enriching his friends when one of his closest buddies, Elon Musk, is not only working at DOGE for free, but also losing $$ big time as the Left’s attacks on Tesla damage sales and stock prices.

EDUCATION: In other news, Trump has signed an executive order ending federal funding of the allegedly educational, but mostly left-biased NPR and PBS.

HARRIS: On Thursday, nominations were announced for the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Among them was an “Outstanding Editing” nod to the interview “60 Minutes” did with Kamala Harris during the campaign.

In case you’ve forgotten, this was the interview during which CBS chose to edit out a terrible “word salad” answer Harris had given and substitute a more coherent one she had given to a different question. This would also be the interview that has Trump suing CBS News and the one that inspired the show’s executive producer to quit.

Speaking of Kamala speaking … I don’t want to listen to her, but if you do, there are clips of her recent speech @ https://notthebee.com/article/kamala-harris-is-still-most-definitely-kamala-harris.

MEDIA: The Left have always hated the military and Fox News, so Pete has a natural advantage over two guys they used to lurve.

SLIPPERY SLOPE: Satan hates marriage and family, so the assault continues. A recent court ruling in Quebec has granted multi-parental families in the province the same legal rights as any other unit.

SMH: The Atlantic just published this article about how Hitler liked tariffs too.

WHITE HOUSE WIRE: The media refuses to cover them honestly, so they’re doing it themselves.

GRAMMY NOTES: Plus there’s the whole problem with “the world” being temporal, so any comfort you might get by selling your soul will end up earning you an eternity of torment.
