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.

BIBLE STUDY: This passage is offensive to modern ears. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lWgOTPLdoOo to hear a preacher resolve the issue, by explaining its historical context.

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.

AI: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1311582794300127 to see a heartwarming video of an elephant gently lifting a child out of its enclosure and delivering it to its parents. The video looked too polished to be real, so I asked Grok to look for credible reports to verify the incident. It didn’t find any and noted that “elephants, while intelligent, are wild animals and typically react to intruders with defensive behaviors, not careful rescues. Given the polished nature of this video and the lack of credible reports to verify the incident ever happened, it’s likely this is a fabricated video created for viral attention.”

AMAZING GRACE: [3:39] – The octobass is a bowed instrument that typically plays one octave below the double bass. Because of the extreme fingerboard length and string thickness, the musician uses a system of levers and pedals to clamp the strings at the right spots. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra is the only ensemble regularly using them in performances.

CLINTON: [1:03] – On July 23, DNI Gabbard released a recently declassified House Intelligence Committee report dated Sept. 18, 2020.

It reveals that Democrats covered up the fact that, during her 2016 presidential campaign, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was suffering from a mix of “intensified psycho-emotional problems” and was on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers.”

It also reveals that the Russians knew about her health problems, but did not publicize the information. Obviously, if they had truly been working to get Trump elected, they would not have kept such damaging information to themselves.

DESPERATION: “The effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency—before he even took office—was not about protecting democracy. It was about protecting the machine.

“From George H.W. Bush to Barack Obama, the same interconnected network of intelligence operatives, political dynasties, and global financial interests built and maintained a shadow system of power. Trump threatened to bring it all into the light. … “

CATHOLIC: Although Batman’s religious affiliation is not defined, several Batman authors and stories have contained Catholic elements and his mother, Martha Wayne, is often portrayed as having been Catholic.

EPSTEIN: CLICK https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1948391900601254321 [:38] to hear Scott Jennings respond to an idiotic question on CNN. “Why doesn’t he just own up to it?” Oh puh-leeze! How about Obama or Clinton or Bush or Fauci any of the other people who have lied to us “just own up to it”?!

LAPDOG MEDIA: On July 18, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard laid out evidence that, after Trump was elected in November of 2016, then-President Obama, along with the former directors of the CIA, FBI, and National Intelligence, fabricated the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax to undermine the Trump presidency.

CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1948084343026725072 [:43] to hear CNN cut away from Gabbard’s remarks to scoff at her “attempt to back up the quite extreme allegation.” Best comment: “CNN is like Hitler screaming, ‘Shut it off!! Shut it off!!’ when being told about the failures of his eastern and western campaigns.”

ORGAN DONATION: HHS Secretary Kennedy has announced the results of a study that showed organs have been harvested from patients who showed signs of life. “The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”

WILDLIFE: I saw this photo of a least weasel clinging to a European green woodpecker in flight on Facebook and had it verified by Grok. It was taken in 2015 by an amateur photographer in East London. Digital experts found no evidence of photo manipulation, while wildlife experts confirmed the plausibility of the event. It seems green woodpeckers forage on the ground, making them vulnerable to weasel attacks, while weasels are known to target prey larger than themselves. This woodpecker reportedly escaped after the photo was taken.

I am so very grateful for the chiropractors who have helped keep me and my family healthier and more active than they could have been with just allopathic care.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please help us to make kindness our default position, except when to do so would violate Your Truths. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CATHOLIC: This is a beautiful talk. [20:09] – I am hypersensitive to perfume and, before I became too affected to attend Mass at all, I would stay in the cry room. One Sunday in the late 1980s, I went to the cry room as usual, but found it filled with youthful confirmands, all dressed up and smelling much too good. My little girl and I retreated to an adjacent, empty room, only to have Bishop Matthew Clark (Rochester, NY diocese) come in with his assistants to vest. I explained why we were there and tried to leave, but he said no, we should stay. Before he vested, he got down on his knees and had a sweet interchange with my daughter.

CHRISTIAN CULTURE: Recently, there has been controversy surrounding Chip and Joanna Gaines who decided to feature a same-sex couple on their Back to the Frontier reality show. The Gaines couple have been public about their Christian faith and, in the past, have been associated with the Antioch Community Church, which holds traditional views on marriage.

I don’t actually care about the issue, but I was intrigued by Allie Beth Stuckey’s comment about CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xUT4wcpDJVA. “You can believe that you have found a way to out-compassion God.” Whoa … what an excellent way to think about this! As for assuming that money and/or fame are God’s rewards, it was Satan who offered all that stuff to Jesus. Jesus promised His followers the cross.

FOUND on the GUADALUPE RIVER: A Texas woman founded a Facebook group where Texans can share photos of objects and pets lost in the flood or found after. I looked at a few pages and the tears were running down my cheeks.

HYPOCRITES: Democrats trying to benefit from MAGA-ites who are pissed about the Epstein files have been asked why they didn’t demand the files be released while Biden was in office. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (left) said she was too busy with other things. Rep. Jamie Raskin (right) said he doesn’t know.

MEDIA SHILLS: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1946020435037925585 [:51] to see another example of the hyper-politicized, unfunny propaganda that CBS paid Colbert $15 million a year to produce.

He is New York City’s leading (i.e., Democrat) mayoral candidate, which is a very scary thought.

PARENTING: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ogy9BesmOEk to see how identity politics should be handled. This is exactly what my parents would’ve done! LOL

PRISONER EXCHANGE: All ten Americans who have been held in Venezuela have been swapped for the return of more than 250 Venezuelan men (mostly Tren de Aragua members) whom we deported to El Salvadoran prisons.

Among those released was Wilbert Castañeda, a former U.S. Navy SEAL. His brother, Christian, said in a statement to The Epoch Times: “We have prayed for this day for almost a year. My brother is an innocent man who was used as a political pawn by the Maduro regime. We knew that President Trump would not leave a decorated SEAL behind.”

RUSSIA HOAX: “A treasonous conspiracy” [7:40] – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” that then-President Barack Obama and his national security team didn’t like the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia had no ability or desire to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. At Obama’s direction, they suppressed publication of this assessment and manufactured fake evidence aimed at destroying Donald Trump and his administration.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for granting us the privilege of praying for those who persecute us. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

COLBERT CANCELED: The same night Colbert announced the cancellation, his lead guest was Sen. Adam Schiff [D-CA]. Right after the show, Schiff tweeted, “Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

Political? Adam, baby, CBS’s decision was all about the money, honey. Here are the facts. CBS has to pay Trump $16 million for fraudulently trying (and failing) to make Kamala look like less of a doofus. CBS has been paying Colbert about $15 million per year, which he was worth as long as his left-wing political shtick was bringing in the viewers. But now Fox News is getting better ratings while paying Greg Gutfeld half as much for not only doing his right-wing comedy shtick on their late night show, but also providing his political commentary on Fox at Five.

2025 second quarter viewer averages for late night comedy shows:

  1. Fox News’ Gutfeld = 3.29 million (238,000 in 18-49)
  2. CBS’ Late Night with Stephen Colbert = 2.42 million (220,000 in 18-49)
  3. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! = 1.77 million (219,000 in 18-49)
  4. NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon = 1.19 million(157,000 in 18-49)

ABC pays Jimmy Kimmel $15 million per year, while NBC pays Jimmy Fallon $16 million. I wonder how long before those two also get their pink slips …

EVERYDAY HEROES: On a Virgin Atlantic flight from New York to London, an 88-year-old retired nurse named Violet was quietly chatting with a young man named Jack at the boarding gate. She told him she had spent her life caring for others and had always dreamed of flying first class, just once.

Jack nodded, smiled, and said little. But before boarding, he quietly approached the crew and asked if he could trade his first-class seat for Violet’s economy seat. He wanted no credit or attention, so while Violet leaned back in a plush seat, sipping champagne at 35,000 feet, Jack sat in economy.

It wasn’t until the end of the flight that Violet learned what had happened. She was stunned. “I just want a picture,” she said, “so I can show my daughter I finally did it.”

FAFO: Leftists worried the massive settlement CBS paid Trump would have a chilling effect on journalism. Apparently, the Wall Street Journal didn’t get the memo.

RAAACISM: On Monday’s CNN NewsNight, Brad Polumbo said that calling Trump’s immigration agenda a “reign of terror” was “hyperbolic.” Ana Novarro basically told him to shut up. “It might be hyperbolic for you as a White man… It’s certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino.” Palumbo pointed out that for her “to dismiss my opinion for being a White man, is racist.”

VAX SCENE: Feel free to skip this. I only got through 5 minutes before I could no longer control my gag reflex. [10:49] – One of Stephen Colbert’s unfunny “comedy” attempts was a series of musical odes to the ‘rona jab. Yes, a series. I mean … what’s not funny about you “can, can, can” get your shot? /sarc But hey, you know what is funny? The fact that this mega-cringe compilation is posted at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s official YouTube channel. I mean, talk about self-owns.

GRAMMY NOTES: My father’s name was Bob; his kids called him Pop. His grands called him Bop. It suited him to a tee.

ICE: [15:57] – The Left is sponsoring a 700% increase in violence against agents.

JACQUELINE DURAND: [13:05] – Jacqueline Durand suffered severe injuries from a vicious dog attack in 2022, resulting in over 800 bites and significant facial disfigurement. Dr. Youn interviews her about her experiences so far. At the GoFundMe link (below), there is a CBS documentary about Jacqueline from not long after the attack. Watching both of these videos, I am really struck by how articulate she is consider the amount of damage she sustained to her mouth.

LEFTIES LOSING IT: [20:34] – The latter parts of this video are well worth your time. E.g., I didn’t know that last bit about immigration judges not being part of the judiciary! GROK says, “Immigration judges are not part of the federal judiciary. Instead, immigration judges are administrative law judges within the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is part of the executive branch.”

MS-13: [1:53] – Two of the worst of the worst have been apprehended. When the Biden administration let them in, one was on El Salvador’s “100 Most Wanted” list while the other had a red notice on Interpol. The latter is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition.

Fake News Hoax List – Part 3

POLICEMEN KILLED at “MOSTLY PEACEFUL” JANUARY 6 PROTEST HOAX: The January 6 protest is associated with nine deaths. Three protesters suffered fatal medical emergencies during the event that were unrelated to the violence at the Capitol Building, while four law enforcement officers committed suicide in the weeks following.

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick had a stroke and died the day after. The autopsy suggested the events of the previous day may have contributed to his death, but had not been the cause.

The only person who was actually killed in the midst of the riot was Ashli Babbit, an unarmed pro-Trump protester, who was shot at point blank range by a police officer.

RITTENHOUSE HOAX: Democrats and their media shills labeled Kyle Rittenhouse a racist and a murderer after he shot three men, killing 2 and wounding the third, during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. All of his detractors conveniently ignored the fact that all four of the men were white and that Rittenhouse said the men had tried to kill him.

Rittenhouse, then 17 years old, went to the protest to protect a relative’s business from vandals and looters. The three individuals who attacked him were apparently there to take advantage of the widespread lawlessness. They singled out Rittenhouse, chased him and viciously attacked him. During the highly publicized trial, Rittenhouse argued he had only shot at the men in self-defense. Since the evidence showed the three men had tried to kill him, the jury acquitted him on all charges.

EATING WHILE BLACK HOAX: [10:31] – In 2018, Oumou Kanoute, a black psychology student at Smith College in Massachusetts, perpetrated a racism hoax that the Left embraced with their usual enthusiasm.

CNN: “Smith College student who was racially profiled while eating says the incident left her so shaken she can’t sleep”

Washington Post: “Smith college employee called police on black student eating lunch”

New York Times: “‘All I Did Was Be Black’: Police Are Called on College Student Eating Lunch”

The problem is … racism had nothing to do with anything. A janitor who had worked at the college for 35 years was cleaning the closed cafeteria when he noticed Kanoute reclining and eating alone, in a far corner of the canteen which was supposed to be closed. The janitor called security, because the campus police had instructed staff not to confront strangers.

Oumou Kanoute responded to being asked to leave a closed cafeteria by shrieking raaacism. The university put the janitor on a paid leave.

Then, Kanoute doxxed Jackie Blair, a cafeteria employee who had had nothing to do with the incident, labeling her “the racist person.” Blair says she was harassed afterwards and the stress worsened her lupus to where she ended up in the hospital.

Kanoute also used social media to falsely accuse a second janitor, Mark Patenaude, of racism. He hadn’t even been on campus at the time. After 21 years of service, Patenaude ended up quitting over the stress.

Smith College went so far as to force all of its employees to attend a humiliating, anti-white racial training seminar, which resulted in Jodi Shaw’s very public resignation (video above).

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You for telling us in Psalm 91 that You will cover us with Your feathers and that, under Your wings, we will find refuge! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: [16:50 ] – This is really worth your time.

ICE: [12:30] – Harold’s bogus 6% figure is based on an NBC News article entitled “Despite promise to remove ‘worst of the worst,’ ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers.”

The 6% is not what Harold actually said, which was that, “of the deportations that we have had so far, only 6% have been hardened criminals.” Last September, ICE told Congress there were more than 13,000 illegals in the USA at that time who were known to have committed murder; of these, only 752 (about 6%) have been picked up by ICE. Since “6% of known murderers” is a very different thing from “6% of all illegals deported”, Harold’s claim utterly fails.

But there is another problem with his claim, which is his use of the vague term “hardened criminal.” According to GROK, a “hardened criminal” is someone who has repeatedly engaged in criminal behavior and who often shows a lack of remorse and a persistent disregard for the law. In other words, their “hardened” status is based not on the heinousness or violence of their crimes, but rather on their bad attitudes.

So how about the general idea behind Harold’s claim, which is that Trump said they’d go after “the worst of the worst” first. A recent article published by Cato (link below) reported that 65% of the people picked up by ICE this year have had no criminal convictions and that 93% have had no violent convictions. Again, we see a leftie playing with words to exaggerate the narrative. “No convictions” doesn’t mean they aren’t wanted on charges somewhere. And “no violent convictions” definitely does not mean they’re good neighbors.

Deep into the article, the author admits that 29% of illegals detained by ICE this year have had criminal convictions. IOW, nearly a third of those have been convicted of (not just charged or suspected of) committing crimes such as human trafficking, prostitution, drug smuggling, burglary, property damage, etc. etc. etc.

So, cry me a river if some of the “hardened” illegals who have flouted our immigration laws for however long have been getting picked up with the MS-13 gang bangers. I don’t care if they got caught fishing without a license; just being here at all made them illegal. Trump gave them a very generous opportunity to self-deport and get on a list for genuine immigrants. They chose to stay. I am happy to have ICE show them the door.

Fake News Hoax List – Part 2

SEVEN-HOUR GAP HOAX: In April 2022, the Left Stream Media pushed out a story that, between 11:17 a.m. and 6:54 p.m. on January 6, 2021, documented communication with allies occurred between then-President Trump and allies, including a call to Vice President Mike Pence. Yet, during this seven hours and 37 minutes period, the White House switchboard logs showed no activity presidential activity. This led to speculation of a cover-up, with suggestions that Trump used burner phones and/or had suppressed records.

However, CNN later reported that the six pages of White House switchboard logs for January 6 were complete, and the gap was likely due to Trump’s typical phone habits. He rarely used the switchboard when in the Oval Office, relying instead on staff-placed calls via landlines or cell phones, which were not logged by the switchboard. This was consistent with practices during other administrations, including Obama’s.

RUSSIAN BOUNTIES HOAX: In June 2020, The New York Times published a story claiming that Russian spooks had offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill U.S. and coalition troops.

The story further alleged that U.S. intelligence knew about it and had briefed Trump in early 2019. President Donald Trump denied being informed and called the story a “hoax” and “fake news,” arguing it was meant to damage him and the Republican Party during the 2020 election.

The Left Stream Media continued to push the narrative until April 2021, when the Biden administration admitted that the tale was based on sketchy sources, which forced Democrats and their shills to drop their narrative.

TRUMP TRASHES TROOPS HOAX: In September 2020 – i.e., the final weeks of Trump’s re-election campaign – The Atlantic published a smear story written by a well-known Trump basher and based entirely on anonymous sources.

In it, the author claimed Trump had canceled a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, citing concerns about his hair in the rain and dismissing the importance of honoring war dead, reportedly saying, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” The story also alleged he had questioned the value of military service during a 2017 Memorial Day visit to Arlington Cemetery, asking then-Chief of Staff John Kelly, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” The story also claimed Trump had called Marines who died at Belleau Wood in World War I “suckers.”

CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1303030811755716611 [3:13] to hear Trump talk about the allegations. Despite the lack of audio, video, or documented evidence, reliance on anonymous sources, and the timing during the 2020 campaign, Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, used the story during the 2024 campaign to argue that Trump was unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.

Fake News Hoax List – Part 1

RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX: In 2016, the FBI launched an investigation called Crossfire Hurricane to follow up on claims that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia to influence the election outcome.

The 2019 Mueller Report failed to provide conclusive evidence that the Trump campaign had conspired or coordinated with the Russian government’s efforts to influence the election.

The 2020 Durham report criticized the FBI’s handling of the notorious Steele Dossier and noted procedural flaws and confirmation bias in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

“HANDS UP! DON’T SHOOT!” HOAX: In 2014, an 18-year-old black man named Michael Brown was shot by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Early witness accounts, particularly from Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson, suggested Brown was shot while surrendering with his hands up, saying, “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!” However, examination of bullet trajectories and Brown’s DNA on Wilson’s gun, supported Wilson’s claim that Brown charged at the officer after a struggle.

Hands Up! Don’t Shoot! became a rallying cry for protests against police violence which protesters claimed was particularly targeted toward blacks. Black Lives Matter used it to raise millions, which the founders spent on themselves. Supporters of the phrase argue it doesn’t matter if Darren Wilson was justified in shooting Michael Brown, because cops are racists.

JUSSIE SMOLLETT HOAX: On January 29, 2019, a gay, black actor named Jussie Smollett reported to Chicago police that he had been attacked by two masked men who had beaten him while shouting racial and homophobic slurs. He also claimed they had poured bleach on him and placed a noose around his neck while yelling, “This is MAGA country!“

The story gained widespread attention, gaining Smollett tremendous sympathy. But when Chicago police investigated, they learned Smollett had hired the two men to stage the attack as a publicity stunt to boost his acting career. In December 2021, Smollett was convicted on five counts of lying to police.

COVINGTON KKKIDS HOAX: On January 18, 2019, a group of students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, attended a March for Life in Washington, D.C. While waiting for their bus home at the Lincoln Memorial, the group was accosted by a Native American activist named Nathan Phillips, who was participating in the Indigenous Peoples March.

A short video of the event portrayed the students as aggressors who had surrounded and taunted Phillips. Longer videos later revealed a more complex situation, but the initial narrative led to the boys being doxxed, threated, and condemned to such an extent that the school had to temporarily closed due to safety concerns. As longer videos emerged, some media outlets and public figures retracted or softened their criticisms, acknowledging the complexity of the situation.

Nicholas Sandmann, the boy who had been most specifically targeted, filed defamation lawsuits. His suits against ABC and The New York Times failed, but he won $250 million from The Washington Post and undisclosed amounts from CNN and NBC.

“VERY FINE PEOPLE” HOAX: [2:10] – Trump’s 2017 Charlottesville comments were misrepresented to suggest he is a racist. The full context shows he was referring to non-extremist statue protesters, yet the “very fine people” lie has been repeated ad nauseum, even as recently as a year ago when Joe Biden was running for re-election.

  • The Bluebird of Bitterness, aka, Bob, aka, my best researcher sent me this link @ https://scifiwright.com/2024/02/hoax-list/. It’s just a long list of the Breitbart links. I am planning to do bits of it each day (or so) in the format I used above. I included some additional links, but most of what I’ve used is from asking Grok for a run-down on each of the hoaxes.
