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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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::
The following was written by Senator Tom Cotton [R-Arkansas] and published the New York Post on August 7, 2025 (link below). I added the graphics.
It was on Aug. 8, 2022 that 30 FBI agents, armed and authorized to use deadly force, raided the home of then-former President Donald Trump — with the blessing of his successor, then-President Joe Biden.
The absurdly broad raid warrant covered “any government and/or Presidential Records” dated during the years of Trump’s presidency, and “containers/boxes . . . collectively stored” near classified documents.
According to the FBI raid affidavit, Trump possessed “Presidential records subject to record retention requirements” — an odd claim, given that presidents have an established right to designate records as “personal records.”
In fact, under the Presidential Records Act, only the president decides which records are presidential and which are personal. Odder still, one would expect a search warrant to be based on alleged violations of criminal law. But this one wasn’t, because the Presidential Records Act is a purely civil statute.
The FBI also claimed that Trump violated the Espionage Act because he refused to return classified documents after the National Archives demanded them. Yet the FBI had no evidence to support that Trump knew the boxes sent to his home contained classified information.
To get around this inconvenient fact, the Department of Justice tried to thread the needle by arguing Trump “caused” the boxes to be packed, attempting to make him appear just as guilty as if he knew their contents.
Attorney General Merrick Garland also ignored the only existing precedent, which involved President Ronald Reagan. After leaving office, Reagan kept classified material from his presidency in his home — and while the Justice Department was aware of this situation, it took no action. Since this precedent worked in Trump’s favor, the Biden DOJ conveniently ignored it.
Similarly, given the president’s unique position in our constitutional system, the Supreme Court has ruled that certain laws should not apply to a president unless that law explicitly specifies otherwise. The Espionage Act does not contain such language, but the DOJ ignored that inconvenient fact, too.
Ironically, while Biden’s administration was weaponizing criminal law against Trump, Biden himself was caught red-handed with more than 130 classified documents — that we know of — dating from his vice presidency and his tenure as a senator.
Biden kept these sensitive documents in his personal Washington, DC, office and all over his Wilmington, Del., home, some of them in file folders labeled with Biden’s own handwriting. No legal compulsion was sought in Biden’s case, even though Biden told his ghostwriter in 2017, “I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” In other words, he confessed on tape.
Pundits defended the different handling of the two cases on the grounds that Biden cooperated with investigators, while Trump did not. But Biden “cooperated” with a rigged process, designed by his own administration. That process allowed Biden’s lawyers to sweep and search the crime scenes — after classified documents were discovered, and after a criminal case was opened — before any FBI searches took place. At one point, a Biden White House lawyer intervened in the chain of custody of a classified document, seizing it from the FBI because the then-president had not consented to the FBI’s possession.
This double standard is nothing short of breathtaking. Where Trump was charged for merely “causing” boxes to be packed, Biden was specifically not charged because he “did not move the files himself” and “depended on staffers.” With Trump, the Reagan precedent was ignored; with Biden, it was upheld due to “basic principles of notice and fairness.”
For Trump, the Supreme Court’s “express statement” doctrine, that certain laws should not apply to a president unless expressly stated, was ignored. For Biden, the DOJ applied this doctrine — historically extended to include vice presidents — and declined prosecution to avoid “significant separation of powers concerns.” Prosecutors charged Trump with 40 felonies — effectively life in prison. Prosecutors charged Biden with nothing.
Those now angrily denouncing Trump for enforcing US laws — laws he is duty-bound to enforce — fully supported forging the justice system into a guillotine to lop off Trump’s head. Because they don’t really care about law. And they don’t really care about justice. They only care about power. Regaining power — and retaining it.
Come, Holy Spirit. Replace the fear within us with holy faith. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
AI: CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1952543179699609888 [:25] to see former CNN host Jim Acosta “interview” an AI gravatar of Parkland shooting victim Joaquin Oliver. The AI was actually created by Oliver’s parents who, last year, had their AI dead son call members of Congress to demand they ban guns. Is it just me or is this way beyond creepy?
BIDEN: [4:29] – Anita Dunn, former senior adviser to Biden for communications, says Biden’s inner circle believed allowing him to take a cognitive test offered no political benefit. Duh. They keep talking about “cognitive decline.” From what I heard, Biden’s cancer is slow to progress, so likely he has had it for as much as ten years. Moreover, the drug(s) used to treat it are known to cause clumsiness and mental confusion, both of which we saw during the 2020 campaign. My feeling is that the cover-up began as soon as he was diagnosed, whenever that was.
DEMOCRATS: According to the NY Post, “people with direct knowledge of the matter” say the Biden administration’s banking regulators and the Federal Reserve pressured JPMorgan and Bank of America to debank President Trump for his role in the January 6 Capitol Hill melee.
Back in January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that Biden administration officials would demand Facebook remove certain content and, when Facebook refused, would “call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse.“

TRUMP-ONOMICS: [7:46] – Key takeaways from the video:
During the last two years of the Biden administration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) overestimated new job creation by 1.5 million jobs. Political con job or incompetence?
From January to June, 2025, the average median household income (adjusted for inflation) increased by $1,174.
During Trump’s first term, the average median household income (adjusted for inflation) increased by $6,400.
During Biden’s first term, the average median household income (adjusted for inflation) increased by $551.
When Trump’s and Biden’s first term income numbers are broken down by income level, every income group did better under Trump, while under Biden, only the rich got richer; everyone else got poorer.

FEMINISM AGAINST PROGRESS: The link is cued up to begin at the speech itself, so you don’t have to sit through introductions etc. [1:28:25] – Mary Harrington, author of Feminism Against Progress, describes herself as a “reactionary feminist.” She argues that the pursuit of progress has, in many ways, undermined the well-being of the majority of women, creating new forms of dependence and inequality.
This talk is long, but worth your time. (If you prefer to read, click the transcript button below the video.) As I listen to it, I am struck by how much of what she describes is what the Frankfurt School promoted. And she does it standing in front of a supremely chaotic and ugly mural, something the Frankfurters would be applauding … if they weren’t all (likely) burning in Hell.
Her summary line is this: “As we stare down the monster of money and technology and ‘no truth, only power,’ Christian theology really is the only place left to stand. … There’s no other body of thought that can make the case for human nature as creatures of both flesh and spirit, capable of directing our purpose beyond the mere pursuit of food, sex, money, and status power.”
MEDIA: [4:35] – “It’s like trying to understand nature by going to the zoo.”
The current political divide is not Donald Trump’s fault; indeed, he only ran for president because of the dangers he saw it posed to our nation’s survival. In some ways, the roots of this issue actually go back to the Garden of Eden. But more recently, we can trace them to specific people and ideas. Below is a brief run down of what I have learned over the years. I’m sure there’s more and would welcome anyone who can add to our knowledge and wisdom on this (and any other) topic.
In the early 1990s, Michael Minnicino wrote an article entitled The Frankfurt School and “Political Correctness” (link below) in which he traced the roots of what he called “the new Dark Age.” He wrote that our current state was “consciously fostered and organized.” He posited that “either we create a Renaissance—a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which civilization originated—or, our civilization dies.”
Minnicino identified the “single, most important organizational component of this conspiracy” as having been a Communist thinktank known as the Frankfurt School whose members were desperately disappointed that the glorious Bolshevik Revolution in Russia had not inspired the proletariat of other European countries to rise up and overthrow their own governments.
One of the members – Georg Lukacs (photo above) – wrote, “Who will save us from Western civilization?” A hundred years ago, Lukacs promoted sex education in the schools, easy access to contraception, and loose divorce laws. So did Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. So do the majority of the leaders and members of today’s Democratic Party.
Lukacs believed that what kept the West from embracing Communism was their Judeo-Christian belief in the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual and in the possibility of enjoying an unmediated relationship with the Divine. From Lukascz’ (and Satan’s) point of view, no society infused with such beliefs could ever “reach the state of hopelessness and alienation which Lukacs recognized as the necessary prerequisite for socialist revolution.”
Lukacs and the other denizens of the Frankfurt School sought to identify the means by which the Judaeo-Christian cultural matrix could be replaced with a demonic world view. They sought cultural forms that would alienate people from truth and goodness. In modern art, literature, and music, they promoted ugliness, pessimism, and discord. Brecht, for example attempted to write his plays so as to make the audience leave the theater demoralized and aimlessly angry.
The Frankfurt School saw the new technologies of radio, film, and recorded music as golden opportunities to exert control over society’s cultural matrix. They sought to do this, in part, by substituting art with entertainment. In 1937, the Rockefeller Foundation (a supporter of the Frankfurt School) began funding research into the social effects of new forms of mass media, particularly radio, basing its headquarters at Princeton University. The director of the “Radio Project” was a Marxist named Paul Lazersfeld.
Under Lazersfeld was Frank Stanton, who one day would become president of the CBS News Division, and ultimately president of CBS. Stanton also became Chairman of the Board of the RAND Corporation and a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s “kitchen cabinet.” Another member of the Rockefeller Foundations’ radio research was Herta Herzog, who married Lazersfeld and became the first director of research for the Voice of America, which functioned from 1942 until Trump shut them down in March of this year.
The efforts of the Radio Project conspirators to manipulate the population spawned the modern pseudoscience of public opinion polling. Another member of the Radio Project was Hazel Gaudet, who became one of the nation’s leading political pollsters. In 1966, Gaudet organized the first meetings of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Nevada in her own living room. In 1970, she was elected Nevada’s representative on ACLU’s national board.
The major pollsters of today—A.C. Neilsen, George Gallup, Elmo Roper—started in the mid-1930’s and, by 1936, had become sufficiently widespread to justify a trade association, the American Academy of Public Opinion Research, which was located at Princeton and headed by Paul Lazersfeld. In 1940, the Office of Radio Research was turned into the Bureau of Applied Social Research, a division of Columbia University, also headed by Paul Lazersfeld. In fact, the entire development of television and advertising in the 1950’s and 1960’s was pioneered by men and women who were trained in the Frankfurt School’s techniques of mass alienation. Their techniques would eventually control American political campaigning.
The Frankfurt School also made major inroads in American academia. In the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of baby boomers were exposed to the Frankfurt School’s poison, either directly or indirectly, when they attended college. It is no coincidence that this is also when student rebellions, widespread drug use, and the sexual revolution began.
By the 1990s, the ideas hatched at the Frankfurt School dominated the universities where students were taught to replace reason with political correctness. More recently, the cancel culture’s tolerance for all things left and intolerance for all things right have permeated our entire society. It is worth noting that Saul Alinsky and his protegé, Barack Obama, are both acolytes of the Frankfurt School.
Thirty-three years ago, Minnicino wrote that our only way out was “to discard the evil, and inhuman, and just plain stupid, and to go back, hundreds or thousands of years, to the ideas which allow humanity to grow in freedom and goodness.” I think it is clear that we are not embroiled in some new and different socio-political battle; rather, we are in the midst of what is likely the end of the ages old spiritual battle that began in the Garden of Eden. Obviously, the only way out is found in the Bible.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recently got the 29-page appendix to John Durham’s May 2023 Special Counsel report declassified and released. The document contains evidence showing that then-Obama’s Secretary of State and Democrat presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, signed off on the plan to smear then-Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, with false claims of Russian collusion. This plan was inspired, in part, to distract voters from Clinton’s mounting email scandal.
The screenshot above is from page 11 of the Durham Annex. Leonard Benardo was Open Society Foundations’ regional director for Eurasia. Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is an American grant-making network founded by billionaire George Soros and now run by his son Alex. Both Soros men have very close ties to Democrat leaders.
Open Society Foundations and the Soros billions are well known for supporting far-left political causes like Black Lives Matter and the Defund the Police movements that the Democrats have embraced. They Soros men are also known to have poured $40 million into the campaign coffers of 75 far-left Democrats who are now District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute criminals for political reasons. Back in February, a journalist testified before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) that his research revealed that Soros had funneled tens of millions of dollars to left-wing causes via donations from Open Society Foundations to the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.
Alex Soros, the current Chairman of the Board of Open Society Foundations, recently married Huma Abedin. Abedin’s first husband was the now-former congressman, Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner, whose political career failed spectacularly as a result of his multiple “sexting with other women while married” and “sexting with minors” scandals (2011, 2013, 2016).
Huma Abedin has long been bffs with Hillary Clinton. During Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, Abedin served as Clinton’s assistant and travelling chief of staff. From 2009 to 2013, Abedin served as deputy chief of staff while Clinton was Obama’s Secretary of State. She then took over as vice chair of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, the same year she finally gave up on “Carlos Danger” and announced her intention to file for divorce and sue for full custody of their son.
The swanky wedding of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros was held on June 14, 2025, at the Soros estate in the Hamptons. It was attended by a host of prominent Democrats, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Nancy Pelosi.
The unveiling of the Democrats’ Russian Collusion Hoax is far from over. FBI Director Kash Patel announced this week that they had found multiple burn bags filled with thousands of incriminating documents. I heard one pundit speculate that the person tasked with burning the stuff knew it was evidence and didn’t want to be a party to it. Patel said when he arrived to take over at the FBI, many staff members and agents quietly expressed their gratitude that the crooks were gone, so it seems likely to me that the person who hid the bags tipped off the new regime about them.
I just saw a string of tweets complaining about the high cost to taxpayers for Trump to fly to Scotland to cut a ribbon on his new golf course there. Dan Bongino noted that the complainer failed to mention that Trump also signed a trade deal worth $1.2 Trillion, making the trip a hugely profitable investment for We the Taxpayers
They are saying it cost us $10 Million for his travel and security. Here’s the run down, according to Grok, for what is required for a presidential residence. Keep in mind that the White House, Camp David, and the POTUS’ personal homes are routinely outfitted for the duration of their terms in office. Most presidential families, including the Bidens, routinely vacationed at their own homes. Trump primarily vacations at Mar-a-Lago, where Melania lives when she is not needed for First Lady duties.
Grok provided the following run down of what has to be done whenever and wherever POTUS is residing.
Road closures, checkpoints, and restricted airspace. If the location is near water, there may be Coast Guard patrols offshore and Navy SEALs stationed nearby.
Windows are replaced with bulletproof and blast-resistant glass. Doors and walls may be reinforced with steel or concrete to withstand explosions.
Entry points are equipped with metal detectors, biometric scanners, keycard systems, PIN pads, and ID checks.
CCTV cameras, infrared sensors, and drones monitor the grounds.
Counter-sniper teams and anti-aircraft defenses (e.g., Stinger missile systems) are deployed.
Electronic countermeasures to block unauthorized communications or drone signals.
Safe Rooms: The White House has a secure bunker, the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC). Temporary residences may have designated safe rooms retrofitted with reinforced doors and emergency supplies.
Secret Service details operate 24/7, with agents stationed inside and outside the residence. The White House has a Secret Service command post, while vacation homes require advance teams to secure properties weeks in advance.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams from the military support the Secret Service, sweeping for bombs or hazardous materials.
Encrypted phone lines, video conferencing, and real-time data feeds for global monitoring; communications connections to the Pentagon, CIA, and other agencies via secure networks; secure routers and signal jammers to prevent hacking; backup systems for everything.
The “football” (the nuclear launch codes briefcase) must be nearby.
Secret Service, presidential staff, and press all have to be housed and equipped with space and equipment to do their jobs.
The Secret Service must work with local police, fire departments, and hospitals to establish emergency protocols for every trip away from the White House. In Hawaii, local police overtime cost $250,000 per trip, with ambulances on standby ($10,000).
Transportation to, from, and at the destination. These include not only Marine One and Air Force One, but also all ancillary transportation required to transport people and equipment. In particular, the reinforced vehicles used in presidential motorcades are transported on Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft, such as the Grumman C-2. Secret Service recently created a reinforced golf cart for Trump that has been dubbed Golf Force One. It too has to be transported.
The Obamas vacationed annually in Hawaii for Christmas, often staying 2–3 weeks in pricey rental properties. For summer vacations, the Obamas preferred Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where they again staying in rented homes. The estimated costs for each of these trips was about the same $10 Million the complainers are squawking about for Trump’s visit to Scotland.
For winter breaks, the Obamas liked Aspen, Colorado, costing an estimated at $500,000–$1 million per trip, including security. And a couple of times they went to Palm Springs, California (2013, 2014) for golf and relaxation. More million$.
In August 2009, the Obama family went hiking and rafting in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, and Grand Canyon, Arizona. They said it was to promote conservation. In July 2010, they went to Bar Harbor, Maine, where they hiked in Acadia National Park and enjoyed local lobster dinners. Maybe that was to promote tourism?
DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to trust that You always answer our prayers in the best way possible. It’s easy for us to rejoice when You say yes right away; we need Your help to rejoice when Your answer is not yet or not ever. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: On June 26, 2025, the House voted 246 to 160 to pass a measure to mandate the deportation of undocumented immigrants convicted of or admitting to drunk driving and to prohibit their reentry into the United States. Only 37 Democrats voted yes; the 160 who voted no said the measure lacked evidence linking immigration status to drunk driving and did not address broader immigration issues. The bill still requires Senate approval and President Trump’s signature to become law.
S&G: An mtf trannie who slathered himself with estrogen cream may have seriously harmed his toddler daughter by having daily, skin-to-skin contact with her. When he realized she was entering puberty … at age THREE … he switched to an estrogen patch. Nobody knows what long-term damage the kid may have suffered, because her daddy thinks he is her mommy.
TRUMP: On July 26, 2025, President Trump posted the following to Truth Social – “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Our theory is that the pyramid is actually a 3D shape, like a three legged stool. One leg is the husband, one is the wife, and the third is the marriage. The needs and wants of each must be kept in balance with God sitting on the stool. Most of the time, my Dearest and I have been able to concede or compromise, but on a few occasions, we just couldn’t. For these times, we chose a neutral third party we trusted to hear our two sides and cast a vote on behalf of the marriage. We agreed ahead of time to graciously accept the outcome. It saved us a world of trouble. Our 46th anniversary is in less than 3 months.
