BORDER: Last week, SecState Rubio unveiled the Trump administration’s latest attempt to crackdown on birth tourism, restricting visa issuance of those who both engage in and profit from bringing pregnant women into the U.S. to give birth so that their children get automatic citizenship.

DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1099133899190293 [1:39] to hear long-time leftist, Bill Maher, deliver a glorious rant about how far wrong the party has gone.

Re: His statement that “Democrats were the racist party back then,” I must respond that Democrats are still the racist party. Who keeps the majority of blacks in bad schools, bad neighborhoods, and dead end, welfare-forever lives? Democrats. Who promotes abortion in predominantly black and brown neighborhoods? Democrats. They didn’t stop being racists. They just changed their tactics.

EVERYDAY HEROES: John Arbuthnot was an 18th century Scottish physician and mathematician who studied London’s official death and christening records from 1629 to 1710. In every single one of those 82 years, about 107 boys were born for every 100 girls.

He calculated that the odds of males outnumbering females 82 years years in a row was roughly 1 in 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. (That number has 24 zeroes.) IOW, chance could not possibly explain the phenomenon.

But something else could. Arbuthnot theorized that God built a slight surplus of males into His design, because men die in wars, at sea, and in dangerous trades at far higher rates than women. A small but consistent excess of male births keep the population in balance despite those losses.

One might also conclude that a population that is designed to be balanced – males-to-females – is a strong indicator that the designer believes in monogamy.

SCIENCE: I saw this on Facebook – “If you are vaccinated, there is no reason for you to know who is unvaccinated … unless you don’t trust your vaccine.”

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: 1 Timothy 4:1-4 (NABRE): “The Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to … liars with branded consciences [who] … require abstinence from foods that God created … good.”

RAAACISM: One of this year’s prestigious National Book Awards went to Wendy Walters, a black Columbia University professor, for her new book, “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint.”

The blurb at Amazon says, “An impassioned, boundary-pushing work of criticism traversing an array of subjects, from fine arts to design to architecture, taking aim at the ubiquity of white paint in our society and what its prevalence reveals about our values.”

What it should say is, “An example of how little actual racism exists in this nation.”

TRANS: A study by the Manhattan Institute entitled “Transgender Comprehensive Lethal Evidence Analysis Report” details the results of an analysis of every independently verified case of trans murder from 2015 through 2024. Using court records, police statements, local news reports, and other public documentation, analysts attempted to discern the who and why behind the violent deaths of 304 individuals who identify as trans.

What they found is that the transgender community does not face an “epidemic” of lethal violence rooted in “transphobia” and/or “white supremacy.“

  1. Epidemic Lie: Transgender people are less likely to be murdered than the rest of the population.
  2. Transphobia Lie: Intimate partner violence — not hate — is the leading identified motive for most such murders. Only 3.3 percent of the cases reviewed in the report turned out to be confirmed hate crimes. Other common circumstances included sex-work encounters, disputes, robbery, and other forms of interpersonal conflict.
  3. Racism: Most transgender murder victims are murdered by members of their own race.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: An analysis of trans-identifying male athletes competing in female sporting events showed they competed in more than 14,301 female sport events, both amateur and professional, stealing more than 2,293 gold medals from actual females. In professional events, they stole over $501,498 in prize money. Who knows how much they’ve stolen in college scholarships!

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Mariana Alexandra Dewey, a citizen of Peru, has been arrested and charged with one count of false claim of citizenship, one count of false claim of United States citizenship in order to vote, one count of fraudulent election conduct, and one count of voting by an alien in a federal election.

In other news, SCOTUS has blocked Trump’s attempt to require unique barcodes and scanner-ready envelopes for all mail-in ballots nationwide.

FYI: In first-century Palestine, the mustard seed was widely recognized as the smallest seed routinely sown and handled.

LIBERAL LUNACY: They can’t define what a woman is, but they’re sure women can’t get photo ID to vote. Also, they want Lindsay Clancy found not guilty because her hormones made her crazy, but they also think a woman should be the President of the United States with her finger on the nuclear button. But that’s okay, because they also think men can be women, so a man who is a woman wouldn’t have dicey hormones, right?

MAHA: [21:53] – Dr. Alex talks about an extraordinary study that showed the bowel cancer risk in African-Americans (very high) and South Africans of similar genetic make-up (very low) flipped after just 14 days when the diets of the two populations was reversed.

NASA: This is the most spectacular of the sunset photos the Mars Rovers have sent us. The blue glow happens because fine dust particles in the thin Martian atmosphere scatter blue light more efficiently than other colors.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS: The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has issued a sweeping directive mandating that transgender inmates be housed strictly according to their biological sex at birth. In addition to removing trans-identifying men from women’s prisons, the directive also blocks federal funding for gender-affirming medical care and halts social transition accommodations, such as pronoun and dress code changes, for individuals in federal custody.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On September 4, 1957, Democrat Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine black students from enrolling in Little Rock Central High School. On September 23, 1957, Republican President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730, federalizing the Arkansas National Guard and ordering them to support the integration. Eisenhower also ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock.

Democrats actually closed the schools altogether rather than comply, but by the end of September 1957, the Little Rock Nine were admitted to Little Rock Central High under the protection of federal troops. Two segregationists were injured in clashes with federal troops on September 25; one who was struck in the face with a buttstock after trying to grab a soldier’s rifle, and a second who received a minor bayonet wound to the arm.

Inside the school, the Little Rock Nine were subjected to a year of physical and verbal abuse by many of the white students. Melba Pattillo had acid thrown into her eyes; a group of white girls also trapped her in a stall in the girls’ washroom and attempted to burn her by dropping pieces of flaming paper on her from above.

BORDER: [13:20] – In August, federal immigration authorities arrested nearly 51,000 illegal immigrants throughout the United States, setting a new record high for a single month.

Since Trump took office, the number of illegals in the USA has dropped by about 3 million … which is about 20% of what Biden let in.

CATHOLIC: [5:06] – Most people have heard the myth – “Faith and science are enemies.” But science isn’t the Church’s enemy. It’s one of her children.

EDUCATION: Last year, the ACLJ filed a lawsuit on behalf of two New York families after seventh-grade students were directed to websites containing graphic sexual content as part of a graded classroom art lesson that lasted for two weeks.

Parents were never notified in advance, were given no opportunity to opt out, and learned about the material only after their children had already been exposed to it. Under Mahmoud v. Taylor, parents have a right to know what their children are being taught and what materials they are being required to view.

The mediator reports that the parties have reached a settlement. The websites at the center of this case have been blocked and a precedent will be set for parents who wish to opt their children out of content that is inappropriate or violates their religious beliefs.

MAGA: Don’t hold your breath waiting for the slime stream media to report on this.

MIDTERMS: Republicans have the edge in Likely Voters.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS: In the ’80s, I called the school nutritionist to ask them to move the Monday vegetarian lunch to Fridays, so my Catholic kids could have a hot meal. The man said no, because he’d get sued for “forcing religion” on public school kids. One year, on the last day of school before spring break, he had tried to make the lunch rooms more festive by covering the table with pale blue paper. One of the prickly Jewish lawyer dads threatened to sue him for allegedly forcing his son to celebrate Easter.

BORDER: The State Department says it will make permanent a visa bond program under which citizens from 50 countries are required to post bonds of up to $20,000 for business or tourist visas. The rule is intended to prevent immigrants from overstaying their visas. Visitors will get their bond money back upon the termination of the visa, as long as they have complied with the visa terms and conditions and have departed on time.

CATHOLIC: On July 31, 2026, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò posted, “On May 6, 2021, while the entire world was still under the yoke of the health dictatorship, the Holy See hosted—under the aegis of the Pontifical Council for Culture—a conference titled Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul. Unite to Prevent & Unite to Cure. Opening the proceedings was not a theologian, not a pastor, not a defender of natural law. It was Anthony Fauci. Beside him, Deepak Chopra, Chelsea Clinton… and, in the program, the top executives of Pfizer and Moderna.

“The same Holy See that should have raised its voice against the lie, against mass experimentation, against the suspension of fundamental rights, actively collaborated with the architects of what has been—and remains—one of the greatest operations of social control and health fraud in contemporary history: a true crime against humanity.”

ACTBLUE: A month ago, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment during a House hearing. She refused to even verify her name! [8:03] – CLICK https://x.com/mich_enjoyer/status/2079961553445491066 [4:16] to watch an interview with an ActBlue donor named Elizabeth Waffle (88). According to ActBlue’s records, Elizabeth has made 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000 over the past five years. Elizabeth was forced to move into a shabby trailer two years ago after her house burned down. She owns an old pickup truck, but no computer. At the time of the interview, she did not have enough money to pay the lawn guy. Elizabeth says of the donations record, “I don’t have that kind of money.”

DEMOCRATS: The answers on this thread are fun. They include “(the sound of silence)”, “I’ll go make some popcorn while we wait”, “How about I just bring you a live unicorn?”

The only real answer given by a few was “Sen. John Fetterman.”

EDUCATION: In the mid-1970s, I dated a guy in college who became convinced one of his professors was only reading the first and last pages of his students’ exam “blue books.” So for one exam, my bf wrote a good intro and conclusion on these two pages, but filled the entire inside with a detailed description of a recent football game. He even included those X and O charts so beloved by football coaches, which, if the prof had even glanced at the insides, would’ve caught his attention. The prof gave him an A.

HEALTH: Blood pressure after 60 is far more complicated than simply “the lower the better.” In this video, Dr. Alex explains why the best target depends on the person sitting in front of you, not just the number on the machine. [16:51] – After my father died, we learned something important about blood pressure and medication doses. My mother had been my father’s primary care giver in his final years. After he passed, she suddenly had much less day-to-day stress, which, minus a reduction in her bp meds dosage, resulted in her having too-low symptoms.

IRAN: [15:51] – We may be only a few weeks away from the complete destruction of the Islamist regime.

MIDTERMS: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has $16.3M cash on hand with $18.5M in debt. Fifteen million of that debt was secured using the DNC’s own headquarters in D.C. as collateral.

Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has $128.5M in cash on hand with zero debt.

SAVE America Act: The “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act” calls for every voter proving he or she is an American citizen when registering to vote and producing proof of ID when voting. Despite its overwhelming popularity with voters, Democrats have been stonewalling its passage. The latest attempt to get it passed involved attaching it to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2026 (NDAA) which passed the House on July 22 on a 216-212 vote.

UK: Khadija Patel was recently awarded with the British Citizen Award in recognition of her work empowering young women.

GRAMMY NOTES: When one of my grandsons was four years old, he was watching a video that introduced him for the first time to the Passion. When the soldiers came into the garden to arrest Jesus, our precious boy grabbed his toy sword and ran at the television to protect his best friend. Later, he asked his mom and his dad why Jesus had been crucified and they both said, “Hmmm. We’ll ask Father after Mass on Sunday.” Father had the same reaction, but had nobody to pass the buck to! I don’t know what he said exactly, but I have often wondered … how do you explain this to a four-year-old?!

CATHOLIC: More than one thousand faithful Australian Catholics knelt and prayed the Rosary outside of a former Catholic church where a blasphemous LGBTQ-themed performance mocking Christian themes was taking place.

A Catholic group said in a statement, “The publicly accessible material included performers dressed as nuns, exorcism parodies, references to ‘unholy water’ and depictions involving Holy Communion.”

The founder of the offensively named “Divine Playhouse” announced they’ve been evicted from the building.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA: Gary Varvel writes –

Remember when the old guard Democrats chanted “blue, no matter who”? Well, it looks like they’ll be wearing communist red instead. Their big tent has officially been overrun by card-carrying socialist snakes, and they are about to squeeze the life out of the geriatric donkeys.

Party centrists are discovering the hard way: if you feed the snake, eventually the snake feeds on you.

Look no further than Ethiopian-born politician Melat Kiros, who recently won her primary for Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. She bluntly proclaimed:

“There is a shift in the global world order that exists today. And a fundamental shift that we have to have going forward… That means getting more immigrants into office.”

Is that really what America needs?

Deuteronomy 17:15 issued a clear warning to Israel: “Do not place a foreigner over you.”

Furthermore, in Deuteronomy 28, God lists the severe consequences brought upon Israel for turning away from Him—including drought, disease, and pestilence.

Then verses 43–44 spell out the social turning point:

“The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower… They will be the head, but you will be the tail.”

With the recent onslaught of foreign-born candidates rising through the ranks, one has to wonder if America is experiencing a similar judgment.

The U.S. Constitution explicitly requires the President to be a natural-born citizen—a sensible requirement designed to safeguard our nation from leaders with divided loyalties. Why shouldn’t that same restriction apply to every high office governing our land?

DEMOCRATS: [12:09] – Dr. Steve expands on the current state of the Democrat Party.

MEDICAID: The federal government is pausing more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to two fraud-ridden states – California and Minnesota – until they can prove that all of the payments are for legitimate health care services.

MIDTERM$: [13:10] – The news could not be worse for Dems.

NEW JERSEY: Gov. Sherrill blames a software error for the fact that roughly 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

Trump’s Speech

Election Integrity documents @ https://www.whitehouse.gov/election-integrity/

Ensuring the integrity of our elections is fundamental to preserving trust in American democracy. Following the 2020 presidential election, concerns about potential irregularities prompted detailed examinations of voting processes, data security, and registration practices across multiple states. Below, you can download documents and reports addressing key areas of election integrity. They cover:

Vulnerabilities in Electronic Voting & Ballot-Counting Systems – For years Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot-counting systems. We are releasing a series of previously-classified U.S. Intelligence Community Assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack.

China’s Acquisition and Exploitation of American Voter Data – Over a period of years starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history—resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote, and engage in other nefarious activities. This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.

Michigan Voter-Registration Investigation – Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up. Among the disclosures are FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter registration operation in Michigan. In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat get-out-the-vote organization in Muskeegon, and were so concerned by what they found, that they contacted the FBI in Detroit. The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registrations for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to the number of applications they produced. The FBI agents working on the case believed that crimes were committed—yet the Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the investigation for years. Director Patel is being directed to ensure that the matter is fully investigated, and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes.

Noncitizens on State Voter Rolls – According to a D.H.S. review of state voter rolls and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refused to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher—yet even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote.

During an interview with CNN, he praised the animal for not killing him. “When I was on the ground immobile, unable to move, he was right on top of me. He could have stomped on me, he could have gored me, he could have done almost anything to take my life, and he did not do so.”

FEMINISM: “No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.” ~Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), French feminist

IRAN: Israel says Iran violated the cease fire on Sunday, launching missiles that the Israeli defense system intercepted. The attack came hours after Trump said in an interview on “Meet the Press” that the United States was “very close” to securing a deal with Iranian officials.

LIBERAL LOGIC: CLICK https://x.com/TheCarolineMc/status/2063803200902168769 [:45] to hear a Graham Platner supporter dismiss his Nazi tattoo as no big deal.

MEDIA: In 2025, Bari Weiss took over CBS News with the goal of making it less biased. After she fired 60 Minutes host, Scott Pelley, he said Weiss had actually asked the staff why the public didn’t trust the media any more, whining, “Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? Because we certainly didn’t believe that.”

CLICK the link below to see multiple clips of the interview.

PATRIOTISM: @BuzzPatterson posted – When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.

I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.

One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”

I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”

She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”

“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”

She asked again, “Then why?”

I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.

Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.
