AMERICAN HISTORY: On October 14, 1774, the First Continental Congress made its Declaration of Colonial Rights. It is important to remember that the founders of our great nation were Christians who were deeply involved in politics.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: @HispanosLokos asks an excellent question. “So can anybody explain to me how Spanish people are brown but the Spanish conquistadors were White oppressors?“

EDUCATION: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2516319605509586 [1:31] to watch a Cuban teacher visit an American high school for the first time. (I need a tissue.)

LIFE: The same one that had legal representation for a trial by jury, followed by ten years of appeals.

MILITARY: I am not opposed to the death penalty. However, the live streaming does make me really uncomfortable, calling to mind the “bread and circuses” mentality that marked the decline of the Roman Empire.

TRANS: “Kelly” Day (32) chased down and repeatedly stabbed Larry Young (50) until the knife tip broke off in Young’s skull. This reportedly happened in front of Young’s wife and 7-year-old stepson. Day, a Black man who identifies as a woman, was reportedly angered by Young mocking him. After the incident, he went to a hospital with a cut finger and claimed he had had a cooking accident. Now that he’s behind bars, he is claiming it was self-defense. According to the trannie with the knife, Young used a verbal slur, then made a gun gesture with his hand and threatened violence. Thankfully, the judge has ordered Day be held without bail.

VATICAN: Pope Leo XIV’s surgery yesterday to remove a “small, localized nodule” from his lung was successful.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On October 12, 1492, after more than two months at sea, Christopher Columbus and his crew landed in America.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: Similarly, they never talk about needing more diversity in the NFL or the NBA.

EDUCATION: Forty-eight years ago, I took a graduate level education course at Cornell University. The professor, who had a doctorate in education, declared, out loud and in class … as if it was some Confucius level piece of wisdom … that if schools had done their jobs, they would have all closed by now (then). Read that again and think about it, because he clearly never had.

LIFE: I did that to a lobster once. It was so obvious it suffered that I never did it again.

LYING LIARS: Millions of people hate Trump for saying things he never said.

PROTESTANT REFORMATION: While rejecting the combined wisdom of more than a millennium of Catholic scholars, Martin Luther decided that he and he alone understood what Jesus had taught. He was furious when the men he had personally taught disagreed with him and went on to found their own denominations.

SYRACUSE: A friend of ours attended the Trump rally last Friday and got this photo as POTUS walked in.

GRAMMY NOTES: The day our realtor took me through this house and I saw it had a willow tree in the back yard, I knew it would be our forever home. We loved that tree, so it was a sad day when we realized it had become a hazard and needed to be cut down. Loathe to lose it altogether, we cooked up a plan to use the bottom of the trunk for what we call Fort Stump.

Our original plan had a rope ladder up the front and a climbing net on the back. Neither of these worked, plus the open railing made the Mamas very nervous. So this summer, we bought a nifty adjustable ladder that is sturdy and safe for the kids, plus will be very handy for home projects. And this fall, Nonno installed a railing on the fourth side. He tightened up the last screws on Sunday, so we’re all set for the next blessed invasion of grandchildren!

BORDER: [4:58] – A caravan of about 300 left Honduras on September 20 and entered southern Mexico on September 24. The group, which is still heading to our border, has since swelled to more than 600 members. Tom Homan says there’s no way in hell they’re going to get into the U.S.

COVID: @TheRickster1957 posted, “My wife contracted severe case of Covid and was struggling to breathe. I knew admitting her to hospital would have been a death sentence. I was able to reach out to @RX_forLiberty for help. He provided phone consult and prescribed Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Budesonide and Doxycycline. Dr. Barke saved her life and did not charge a dime! I will forever be in his debt.“

DEMOCRATS “vs” REPUBLICANS: Dems voted down a Republican-led effort to ban insider trading. I’m thinking that Republican senators getting rich from insider trading didn’t actually want the bill to pass; why else would they tack on a voter ID provision they know Dems oppose? So, now Republicans get to tell their constituents they voted for the ban, while Democrats get to tell their constituents they voted against voter ID. Meanwhile, they get to keep lining their pockets in a way that is highly illegal for the rest of us.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: You know the saying … if they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

EVERYDAY HEROES: ”Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food. Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car. She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream. Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better. After eating I waited for a break in business so that I could return to Tina’s window. I then took this picture and spoke with Tina’s supervisor, telling him what she did for me.” Credit : Rebecca Boening

IRAN WAR: The New York Post reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has put out a 25-page letter urging Americans to vote Democrat on Nov. 3.

MAHA: A new episode of The Real Food Show. [2:53] – Back in the 1980s, I was diagnosed with a vast number of food and chemical sensitivities and had to go on a Rotary Diversified Diet (RDD) of organic foods. Initially, I only had one food per meal; when I had identified 2 I tolerated, I could try them together to see how that worked, etc.

The RDD organizes all foods by families; a specific food is only eaten once in a four day rotation, while a relative is only eaten on the second day after. E.g., in my rotation, I had turkey, cauliflower, and pears on Day One and chicken, broccoli, and apples on Day Three.

A friend was visiting for a week and I realized she had been nervous about eating meals with me when I overheard her tell her husband on the phone, “It tastes like real food!” I always thought that would make a great title for a cookbook about my diet and I’m so tickled with Sec. Kennedy’s name for his show!

MIDTERMS: [17:29] – Most often, election results are to the right of what the polls were showing. The exciting news is that the blue states are showing GOP candidates even or near even with the Democrat candidates. And get this … the latest Quinnipiac poll of men shows only 17% of American men approve of the Democratic Party!

NATIONAL SECURITY: An immigration judge has ruled that the U.S. can deport the Palestinian-born leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on the grounds that he is a national security threat.

TRANS: A 17-year-old trans person (Julia Egler) has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for murdering her mother and her mother’s boyfriend in 2024. She told investigators her mom had “misgendered” her. CLICK https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2027551138552131843 [1:20] to hear her talk with investigators

TRUMP ECONOMY: So far this year, jobless claims have averaged just under 210,000. This is the lowest average for the January through September period since 1969.

The population of the United States in 1969 was approximately 202.68 million people. Today, it is estimated to be 349.04 people. If I did the math right, today’s population is 92% higher than it was in 1969. So a lowest average jobless claim is truly remarkable!

In other news, the US federal workforce is at its lowest level in 60 years, down by 11% since Trump took office.

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.”

  • Luteal phase: The grumpy second half of a woman’s monthly cycle.

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!

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.

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.”

[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.

[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.

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?
