DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Protect us from a false tolerance for heresy and remind us always to pray for the salvation of those who have been taught to believe in lies. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/DamaniBryantFelder/videos/1130197972278672 to hear the core of the issue. ITA and have for many years.

GERRYMANDERING: [8:47] – May we enjoy a return to geographically logical districts.

LOL: [4:03] – Don’t watch this one if you’re at work. You will not be able to stop laughing. Even if the comments aren’t funny to you, their laughter is totally contagious!

MISSISSIPPI: A statewide operation in July has resulted in 72 arrests and the rescue of 29 human trafficking victims. The operation included 400 federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.

PHYSICS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/za_HO2E3JEU to learn why smaller animals can jump as high as larger animals, even though they have roughly the same ratio of muscle mass to weight.

WASHINGTON: Two fundamentalist Muslim migrants from Iraq, neither of whom have bothered to learn English, have been found Not Guilty of attempted murder by a Thurston County jury.

Judge Christine Schaller did not allow the prosecution to enter into evidence that, before the attack, the defendants had threatened their teenaged daughter with honor killing if she refused to fly back to their home country and marry the older Muslim man they had selected for her. The judge said the backstory would be too prejudicial.

Well duh! Intent to kill is necessary for a murder verdict. Denying the jury the facts about the parents pre-stated intention to kill the girl made it impossible for the jury to convict on murder charges. The father was found guilty only of assault and unlawful imprisonment and will be serving a 12-month prison sentence.

The mother was found guilty only of violating two domestic violence protective orders that had been obtained, on the girl’s behalf, by the boyfriend and their high school. The mother has already served more time behind bars than her sentence called for, so she is out of jail, but must have no contact with her daughter.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant Pope Francis eternal rest. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

100 DAYS: Translation from Left-ese into Reality-ese — Judges who broke the law are facing consequences; illegals are being deported for being here illegally … just like they were under Clinton and Biden; history that was rewritten by Progressive is being restored; libraries are being curated to provide materials appropriate to community standards; universities that support anti-Semitism and terrorism are losing taxpayer-funded grants they had no right to in the first place; bloated government agencies and budgets are being cut back so we don’t go bankrupt; Biden created a government office to monitor conservative social media posts; countries often give child bonuses when the birth rate drops too low; there are no new threats of wars; Obama, who got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being George Bush, started multiple new wars; everybody rips us off, demands we provide aid and military support, and badmouths us for being who we are, so who cares if we demand a little equity and courtesy in return?

BORDER: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said thousands of illegal immigrants have registered on the CBP Home app to self-deport, and that those who have not yet done so will face consequences.

CATHOLIC: [9:10] – Father David Michael Moses reviews The Conclave. He includes the comments of a Catholic cardinal who participated in the last conclave and saw the movie. I think I’ll give this movie a miss.

EDUCATION: It’s interesting how they went from demanding evolution and creationism be taught as theories to demanding creationism be eliminated entirely. They’re so indoctrinated they won’t even listen to how different Intelligent Design is from biblical creationism.

HYPOCRITE: Schumer is shooting off his mouth about the arrests of two judges for aiding criminal illegal aliens saying “President Trump and the DOJ can’t just arrest judges at will.” IMO, judges should be held to a higher standard than anybody! Plus, I don’t remember Schumer being bothered about a former U.S. president being arrested, booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and held against his will inside a cold court room during campaign season.

MILITARY: The Army has surpassed its 2025 recruiting goal six months early.

MORE HYPOCRISY: The people supporting trans activism are the same people who loudly object to white people wearing braids.

SANTOS: They said he was a liar. Now he’s going to prison. – George Santos is one of only six congressmen and the first Republican to ever be expelled from the House of Representatives. The first three, all Democrats, were expelled back in 1861 for fighting for the Confederacy.

The fourth, Michael J. Myers (also Democrat), was expelled in 1980 and later imprisoned for conspiracy to commit bribery, defraud the U.S., receipt of illegal gratuities, obstruction of justice, filing false tax returns, and racketeering

The fifth, yet another Democrat, was James A. Traficant who was expelled in 2002 after being convicted of 10 felony counts, including taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his congressional staff to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and houseboat in Washington, D.C. He served a 7-year prison sentence.

Republican George Santos was expelled in 2023 and federally indicted on 23 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds, lying on Federal financial disclosure forms to the House of Representatives, aggravated identity theft, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. As part of a plea deal, Santos has agreed to pay roughly $580,000 in penalties in addition to serving a seven-year prison sentence.

STUDENT LOANS: Leftists want people who’ve defaulted on student loan debt to pull their money out of major banks and put it into credit unions. Supposedly, this will “cripple” banks and inspire them to pressure the Trump administration. How much $$$ do people who can’t afford to make payments on their student loans even have?? Unless, of course, they aren’t paying their loans because Biden kept telling them they didn’t need to …

UK: The nation’s Supreme Court just ruled that sex is biological. But never mind that. The London Marathon is allowing males to run in female categories.

WISCONSIN: Judge Hannah Dugan has been arrested for taking extraordinary and allegedly illegal steps to thwart police from taking a past deportee into custody. The illegal in question, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, was charged with domestic violence in mid-March; the case was assigned to Dugan. He was deported in 2013; there is no evidence he returned legally.

Democrats claim to be the party that defends women’s rights. So why are they now picking men-who-say-they’re-women over real women and illegal aliens over the women they beat up, rape, and murder?

GRAMMY NOTES: Haiku posted at Facebook Haiku Society by James Grundy – My favorite thing about haiku is where the first two lines create an image and/or mood and the third line takes it in an unexpected direction. This is a lovely example.

DAILY PRAYER: O Lord, enlighten our hearts that evil desires are darkened and send down Thy grace to help us glorify Thee. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DOGE: The Biden administration gave $2.5 million of our money to 24 schools to finance a 10-week long “intervention” designed to help LGBTQ-identifying youth “cope with the effects of minority stress.”

We’ve also been stuck with paying $53 million to maintain a super yacht we confiscated from a Russian oligarch, just in case it has to be given back.

MILITARY: CLICK https://x.com/catturd2/status/1872029204818342380 [:20] for something that should have never happened. “My problem with it, is simple. When you are in the military you are there to do a job. Not put out for sex partners. This is demoralizing to troops.” – X commenter

PETER DOOCY: [4:21] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y3SZhV31W-c to hear another example of why I am really looking forward to January 20.

RACISM vs. GREENISM: I am always amused to see self-righteous activist lefties expose their insane hypocrisies. CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1868797312665100379 [2:04] to hear of the outrage in Loudon County over a teacher passing around cotton during a lesson the invention of the cotton gin. Now CLICK https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1872268679381131418 [1:07] to hear Billy Bob Thornton talk about how pervasive petroleum is in our culture. The RAAAACISM idjits in Loudon County should read the tags on their clothes. Cotton is the most common and least expensive natural fiber we have available to us. But, since it costs more than its usual substitute, polyester (which is primarily made from petroleum-derived chemicals), it is something of a luxury fiber.

TEXAS: CLICK https://x.com/Mericamemed/status/1871759376543084750 [:37] to see the awesome holiday greeting from the mayor of Garland. LOL!!

USA: [3:49] – Joe Biden signed a bill into law designating the bald eagle as our national bird. And here I thought the founders did that some time after telling Ben Franklin it was NOT going to be the turkey.

GRAMMY NOTES: Let it be known that, on Christmas Day of this year, I played what may be the BEST GAME OF SWEET SHUFFLE EVER!

BLACK FRIDAY: “U.S. shoppers used their mobile phones, laptops, desktops and other devices to make roughly $10.8 billion in purchases online on Black Friday.” I did my bit! So glad to save BIG on gifts for our church’s Christmas tree tag kids. I was able to afford much better stuff. ❤

EXTREMISM: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/936808417909975 to hear John Cleese explain the appeal of extremism.

FBI: Trump has chosen Kash Patel to direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Patel, who served as chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense during Trump’s first term in office and played a key role in revealing the Russian collusion hoax. He has been critical of the way the FBI operates and says he wants to relocate the bureau’s headquarters to somewhere to outside the Beltway.

MILITARY: “There is no doubt that women can serve in the military and make great contributions to success on the battlefield.  This does not mean that it is a good idea to put them into combat arms units, where they would be required to go face to face with the enemy and ultimately be capable of fighting hand to hand and coming out alive. There is no second place in combat.” – Larry Keifesh

I am very proud of my daughters’ military service. I am very glad neither of them ever had to fire their weapons at another human being.

GRAMMY NOTES: Bon voyage to Army Prince and the three Texas grands who fly today to join #2 for her 3 year deployment abroad. Big adventures ahead!
