DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Make us worthy of the promises of Christ. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CDC: In late August, CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired after less than a month in her role, primarily due to conflicts with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy and her refusal to follow certain directives. Her firing prompted at least four senior officials to resign.

  1. Dr. Debra Houry advised the director on agency issues and priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic;
  2. Dr. Demetre Daskalakis served in leadership roles at the CDC from 2020 to 2025;
  3. Dr. Daniel Jernigan, who apparently isn’t important enough to have a Wikipedia page, explained on NPR that his reason for resigning was to “get the politics out of public health”; and
  4. Dr. Jennifer Layden, who left her job as incident manager for Chicago’s COVID-19 response to help lead the CDC’s national COVID-19 response. Shortly after her arrival, she co-led a vaccine task force that oversaw COVID-19 vaccine data and contributed to clinical guidance decisions.

CHICAGO: CLICK https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1964793159768215989 [:40] to hear a resident warn Trump not to send the National Guard in, because “we are a different *** breed. … The *** gonna fight back.”

CHRIS CHRISTIE: Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appeared on ABC News’ This Week, and opined that “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a foolish man, full of foolish and vapid ideas” who is “wholly unqualified” to oversee major public health decisions.

MEDIA: The Left Stream Media did not report on the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a female Caucasian refugee from Ukraine, by a violent Black criminal with a rap sheet a mile long. And when surveillance video revealed the attack was vicious and unprovoked from start to finish, the Left Stream Media still did not deem the story worthy of their time and attention.

What they are reporting on is how the stabbing video is fueling MAGA’s crime message. One paragraph from Axios story “Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message” (link below) says, “Influential conservative social media accounts accused major national news outlets of not covering the racial dynamics of the Charlotte killing — a white victim and a Black suspect — with the same intensity as they did in the case of Daniel Penny.”

In case you have forgotten, Penny is a Caucasian military veteran who took down a violent Black man who was threatening passengers on a subway car. The “major national news outlets” went nuts, calling for the Evil White Supremacist to be drawn and quartered. But during his trial, the other passengers said Penny had saved their lives. Thankfully, the jury voted to acquit.

GRAMMY NOTES: The best advice I ever heard was, “Kids don’t need to know about sex until they’re starting to have those feelings.” The only sex education I gave my girls before that was to leave Right to Life literature laying around so they would have no doubt about the humanity of the unborn and pause at unmarried intimacy on t.v. to lecture “Keep your pants on until after the wedding.” I stopped doing that when they started to yell “We KNOW MOM!!” They are all now happily married and have given me 10 gorgeous grandkids to love on.

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.

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.”

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?

BOLTON: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1960419272955486471 [1:41] to hear a then-and-now from Cenk Uygur.

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.

D.C.: I think “Defund the Police” was a leftie ploy to eventually nationalize and militarize local law enforcement. Their problem now is not with either of those things. It’s with the infuriating fact that THEY are not in charge of it. [8:47] – CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1959748021757030785 [:30] to see the Sig Sauers National Guard troops were issued on Sunday.

EVs: Between 2022 and 2024, the Biden administration awarded $159 million to Quebec-based Lion Electric to manufacture 435 school buses. The company has declared bankruptcy and will not be able to provide servicing to the electric school buses it built.

FLAG BURNING: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1959997417304318072 [3:45] to see Trump sign an executive order directing the DOJ to pursue one year in prison for those who burn American flags for the purpose of inciting imminent lawless action.

In 1969, Brandenburg v. Ohio ruled that speech that directly incites illegal activity and is likely to produce it immediately is not protected by the First Amendment. Trump’s order merely encourages the DOJ to investigate flag burnings and apply the law where appropriate.

U.K.: The rate of sex crimes has increased greatly on the British Isles. From 2021 to 2024, the rate of sexual offense convictions of British nationals rose by 39.3%, while the rate for foreign nationals rose by 62%. Other crimes show a similar pattern.

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!

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. But never mind all that! Democrats rule California and they want more! On August 21, Gov. 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.

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!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for saving me! Amen.

D.C.: Democrat leadership is on the wrong side of this one. [4:53] – Since the National Guard went to D.C., 48 homeless encampments have also been removed and 465 criminals have been arrested for parole violation, assault with a deadly weapon, assault on federal law enforcement officer, stabbing, robbery, attempted murder, and murder. At least one of those arrested is a member of MS-13.

EVERYDAY HERO: [2:03] – Very proactive 6-year-old!

HEALTH: Recreational water users should assume that Naegleria fowleri is present in warm freshwater across the United States. While infection remains very rare, cases recently have occurred in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland. I’m guessing the uptick is due to the extremely hot weather we’ve been having. More people swimming in warmer than usual water.

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz sent this to me. The ladies chit chat about being moms to adults who are dating for the first 9:45. The meaty stuff about “What if I don’t like my body?” begins there and it’s well worth your time.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Remind us always that You love us so much more than we loved our babies who did nothing but eat, sleep, cry, spit up, pee, and poop. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Trump’s policies have netted an overall drop of 2.2 million in the nation’s foreign-born population.

In other news, ICE is running a recruitment drive, funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4 by President Donald Trump. So far, more than 100,000 Americans have applied.

CONNECTICUT: In June, Democrat State Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan was charged with shoplifting at a Target. He’s just been charged with not only committing the same crime, but doing it at the same location.

CREATION: Owls have offset ears; one is higher than the other, allowing them to triangulate sound in three dimensions. This anatomical feature gives them pinpoint accuracy in finding prey even under snow. Such asymmetry only works when both the ear placement and the brain’s sound processing are fully coordinated. A half-formed system wouldn’t offer any survival advantage, which means they were designed as a complete unit from the beginning.

DOGE: The Fourth Circuit Court handed Trump another win by removing a block imposed by a lower court that had been preventing DOGE from accessing data within various federal departments.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Two firefighters arrived at an accident scene to find everyone safe—but one little girl still trembling with fear. She clutched bottles of bright nail polish, her eyes wide.

Instead of talking about the crash, they knelt down, asked about her colors, and invited her to paint their nails. Her smile bloomed, the fear faded, and for a few precious minutes, the flashing lights and sirens disappeared.

When they left, their nails were far from regulation—but they were painted in the perfect shade of comfort and kindness. Sometimes, the greatest rescue is simply helping someone feel safe again.

There’s a television news clip at the link.

FRANKFURT SCHOOL SUCCESS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J44ttkYa5wo to hear how “Baby, it’s cold outside” was canceled by the left, while “WAP” was played over and over.

WAP won the American Music Awards (2020): Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song; BET Awards (2021): Video of the Year and Best Collaboration; BET Hip Hop Awards (2021): Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop Video, and Best Collaboration.

WAP was also nominated for iHeartRadio Music Awards (2021): Best Music Video, Favorite Music Video Choreography; MTV Video Music Awards (2021): Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop, Best Collaboration, Song of Summer; and Gold Derby Awards (2021): Best Music Video.

Cardi B said of her lyrics’ reputation for being “freaky and nasty” – “I grew up listening to freaky-ass rappers and I feel like this is very mild compared to them. … When WAP came out, the people that were critizing it the most and saying it was nasty and freaky weren’t even religious people. It was mainly republicans. Big republicans, not senates, it was literally the motherfuckers that got blue checks on Twitter, the big influencers. And I think it was because I used to endorse Bernie and then Joe Biden.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for the divine protection You provided the pilot and passengers of this plane who all escaped the crash without suffering serious harm. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CENSUS: Our next census is coming up in 2030 and it’s time for the government to start designing it. Trump has ordered that the next one be highly accurate and not count illegals.

D.C.: CLICK https://x.com/theblaze/status/1954917082652348548 to hear Trump announce he has ordered National Guard troops to become force multipliers on the ground to assist the overwhelmed DC Police Force.

CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1954985421173297298 to hear what the president of the DC Police Union said about it.

J6: On August 11, 2025, Nancy Pelosi tweeted, “Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.”

Stephen Sund, who was Chief of Capitol Police that fateful day, replied, “Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority. On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, ‘running it up the chain’ for your approval. When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.”

MEDIA: When a reporter asked Trump if he would build a “big, beautiful briefing room,” Trump dismissed the idea, joking he had no interest in making life more comfortable for the media.

MILITARY: “We don’t fight because we hate what’s in front of us. We fight because we love what’s behind us.” [3:00] – The Defense Department says, “The media’s narrative that the female recruitment numbers have either fallen or stayed the same under Secretary Hegseth and President Trump is 100% Fake News.” Under Biden, the total number of female military recruits at this point in the fiscal year was 16,725. Under Trump, it’s 23,985.

SCHIFF: FBI Director Kash Patel has released bombshell documents to Congress showing that Shifty Schiff approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal. In addition, when concerned individuals told DOJ officials the evidence, they did nothing.

TEXAS: State Dem legislators continue to refuse to come to work. Gov. Abbott says their behavior is absurd, since he is “authorized to call a special session every 30 days. It lasts 30 days. And as soon as this one is over, I’m gonna call another one, then another one, then another, then another one.”

VAXXX: Trump has ordered all federal agencies to eliminate any record of a federal employeeʼs COVID-19 vaccination status, prior noncompliance with vaccine mandates, or requests for exemptions from such mandates. In other news, a new poll shows a majority of Americans do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall and that less than half trust the government to ensure vaccine safety.

YMCA: DEFINITELY CLICK https://x.com/VividProwess/status/1954694252308660255 to enjoy an Israeli dance couple dressed as Donald and Melania absolutely kill it with “YMCA.” It’s a fabulous routine that brought back sweet memories. That was the most popular song being played at the disco where Dearest and I had our first date. ❤

GRAMMY NOTES: Grok and I are taking a break. He/she/it just told me that AP, ABC News, and NPR are “reputable” news sources. ::smh::
