DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask your fullest possible blessings on President Trump as he navigates the situation with Iran and Israel. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CANCEL CULTURE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1945255805880699 to hear Rep. Wesley Hunt tell Bill Maher why he is proud to have lived in General Robert E. Lee Barracks at West Point.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY FINANCES: According to Elon Musk, the DNC was being funded by USAID and other NGOs that DOGE has shut down. In addition, only three large donors gave $100,000 or more to the DNC between January and April. As of the latest report, the DNC has $18 million, which is $4 million less than at the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) funds grew by an astronomical $29 million between January and April of this year, bringing the current total to $67.4 million. Let us pray they use it to give Trump a solid MAGA majority in Congress next November so we won’t waste the rest of his precious second term fighting more ridiculous impeachment charges.

DETRANS: God bless the children who have been lied to and abused by this evil. – CLICK https://x.com/WesleyHuntTX/status/1936883157871235546 to hear Rep. Wesley Hunt do a sanity check.

FBI: DepDir Dan Bongino reported on two child sex stings. Operation “Restoring Justice” apprehended 205 child sex predators and 764 purveyors, while rescuing 115 children; Operation “Soteria Shield” apprehended 244 child predators and rescued 109 children.

HAMAS: The Israel Defense Forces reported on Saturday that Saeed Izadi, commander of the Palestine Corps in the Quds Force, was killed earlier that day during an Israeli strike in the city of Qom. The Iranian commander had, for years, helped arm and fund Hamas on behalf of the radical Islamic regime and was one of the orchestrators of the Oct. 7, 2023 unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel.

IRAN: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1936834958489711062 [:41] to hear SecState Rubio talk about Trump’s attempts to avoid attacking. When a nation that regularly screams “Death to America!” develops nuclear weapons, how long do you think we would be safe? Trump saved a lot of lives.

UPDATE: The UN says there is no increase reported in off-site radiation levels following the strikes. I couldn’t find what kind of warheads our bunker buster bombs had, so I asked Grok. “The U.S. bunker buster bombs used on Iran’s nuclear facilities … contained conventional explosives.” Apparently, the concern about radiation was due to the fact that the facilities bombed were part of Iran’s nuclear weapons development program.

ISRAEL: [:37] – In June of 2017, Iran held anti-Israel rallies across the country. They also erected a huge digital countdown display in Tehran’s Palestine Square, counting down to when they say Israel will cease to exist. Israel just bombed it. Best comment: “May it rest in pieces.”

LONG MAY SHE WAVE: The White House has traditionally had a flagpole on the roof that flies the American flag 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now it has three. President Trump personally funded the installation of two 100-foot flagpoles at the White House, costing a total of $100,000, which were erected last week on the North and South lawns; CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1935385099438027089 to see the first flag go up. It’s yuge!

STATE DEPARTMENT: Some time ago, the State Department warned Americans to stay out of Israel. Those Americans who were trapped there when hostilities began with Iran are being helped to evacuate. Birthright Israel, an educational organization, has evacuated 1,500 Americans aboard the Crown Iris, a luxury Israeli cruise ship sailing from Ashdod Port to Larnaca, Cyprus. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has helped evacuate hundreds of Americans with charter flights to Tampa, Florida.

Following the Iran strikes, the State Department expanded the travel advisory to the entire Middle East, because “there is potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.“

SCOTUS: The Supremes voted 7–2 to allow fuel producers to sue California over its tough vehicle emissions standards which Trump has said was the state’s “attempt to impose a nationwide electric vehicle mandate and to regulate national fuel economy by regulating carbon emissions.”

SEXUAL PREDATORS: Below are links to the 13 Fox News “Sex Crimes” stories from just this month that involve child victims. Among the perps are seven teachers, one school administrator, one politician, one pastor, and two businessmen. Can we put to rest the ridiculous idea that Catholic priests are the problem?

TEXAS: Gov. Abbott has signed a bill into law requiring all public school classrooms in Texas to display the biblical Ten Commandments. The law, which goes into effect on Sept. 1, requires classrooms to display a poster or framed English translation of the commandments that is at least 16-by-20 inches and is able to be read from anywhere in the classroom. Supporters of the Texas legislation say the Ten Commandments are a key part of the foundation of the United States’ judicial and educational systems and should be displayed.

Operation Midnight Hammer

CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1936781556342735002 [4:07] to hear General Caine’s how Operation Midnight Hammer went off without a hitch. CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1936560450751103135 [:12] to Israeli drone footage of one of the demolished sites.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the scope of the strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities was “intentionally limited” and that the strikes were “not about regime change.” Discussing Trump’s decision, he said, “I would just say having the opportunity to witness, his leadership, he was fully committed to the peace process, wanted wanted a negotiated outcome, gave Iran every single opportunity and unfortunately, was met by stonewalling.“

Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. is not at war with Iran, but with Iran’s nuclear program. CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1936206762757025998 [:18] to hear him say he trusts Trump.

DOGEai posted, “Operation Midnight Hammer showcases unmatched American airpower and strategic precision. The destruction of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan’s nuclear sites—buried under mountains of concrete—proves our military’s ability to eliminate existential threats decisively. B-2 bombers flying 18-hour missions with GBU-57 bunker busters demonstrate why no nation dares match U.S. capabilities. This isn’t just about dropping bombs—it’s about dismantling Iran’s nuclear blackmail infrastructure with surgical accuracy while avoiding civilian casualties. Critics whine about ‘escalation,’ but weakness invites aggression. Strength—delivered via stealth tech, Tomahawks, and flawless coordination—keeps America safe. Every dollar spent on these systems is an investment in deterrence. The message is clear: attack U.S. interests, face obliteration. No apologies, no retreat.”

While Fetterman was cheering the attack, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont called it “alarming” and “grossly unconstitutional.” Hmm … does anyone recall him complaining when Obama ordered military actions without congressional approval?

The Constitution divides war powers between Congress and the White House, giving lawmakers the sole power to declare war, while the president acts as the commander in chief directing the military. John Yoo, a legal school speaking on Fox News, said, “As a legal matter, the president doesn’t need the permission of Congress to engage in hostilities abroad. But as a political matter, it’s very important for the president to go to Congress and present the united front to our enemies.” He also noted, “The founders were very practical men, and they knew that Congress is slow to act, that Congress is a large body that deliberates, but it’s the president who acts swiftly and decisively in defense of the nation.“

Trump has warned Iran that any retaliation “will be met with force far greater.” Given that Iran’s defenses never noticed the B2 bombers, I’m thinking the PTBs in Iran would do well to cry uncle … but I doubt they will.

Biden Cover Up Hearing

Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Biden coverup, tore into former President Biden’s presidency. At the very beginning, the ranking Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), made a speech about what a political clown show the hearing was. Then he and I’m guessing his aide(s) walked out. So far as I can tell, the only other Democrat who participated was Senator Welch, who used his time the same way Durbin did, which was to bitch about the fact that the hearing was even happening. Nothing he said addressed the critical issue of who was actually signing all those executive orders, laws, pardons, etc.

Below is the full hearing; I set it to start at the beginning of the hearing.

Below are some clips for all y’all who don’t want to sit through the whole two hours. I listed them in no particular order.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) played a supercuts video of Democrats stating, unequivocally, that then-President Biden was at the top of his game.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) points out the absence of Democrats at the hearing, then brings more receipts about their coverup. “They lied; that’s why they’re not here.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made an impassioned speech about how important this issue is. “The Biden administration may go down in history as the most brazen constitutional fraud in American history.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned witnesses about the 25th Amendment and related issues. Personally, I don’t think Biden has neuro-degenerative disease. From what I’ve read, the drugs used to treat the kind of cancer Biden has is known to cause the physical stumbling and dementia-like behaviors we all saw.

We have to pay for trash pick up, but recycle pick up is free. They come on different days with different trucks and deliver to different locations. The recycle people swore to me that they really do sell everything they can.

DUMB-O-CRATS: “It’s soooo stupid.” [8:05 ] – This was actually the least distressing of all the terrible news this week. Keep praying, my garden buddies. It’s not only good for you, it’s powerful. And, for most of us, it is the best we can offer.

EUTHANASIA: My mother once told me that if we ever legalized abortion, euthanasia would be next. In “compassionate” Canada, where it’s cheaper for the government-run health care system to kill than to heal, a disabled Canadian woman with PTSD from childhood abuse called a mental health and suicide crisis support hotline for help fighting her suicidal thoughts. The operator said, “Well, MAiD [Medical Assistance in Dying] is a legit and legal option. Maybe it’s something you should consider. The medical system seems to be failing you. And you are never going to get the opiate pain medication that you think you need.”

GOVERNOR HAIR GEL: Last Thursday, Gavin excitedly announced a federal judge had ordered control of the National Guard in California to be taken away from Trump and given to him on Friday. Later the same day, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Trump’s motion to stay. Trump 1, Gavin 0.

Also on Thursday, Trump signed a trio of congressional resolutions ending California’s restrictive rules for diesel engines and mandates on vehicle sales. “Under the previous administration, the federal government gave left-wing radicals in California dictatorial powers to control the future of the entire car industry all over the country, all over the world, actually. They approved Governor Gavin ‘Newscum’s’ ridiculous plan to impose a 100% ban on all new gas-powered cars within a very short period of time. Think of this, you can’t buy any other car except an electric powered car, and in California they have blackouts and brownouts. They don’t have enough electricity right now.” Trump 2, Gavin 0.

IMMIGRATION: Rich wannabe immigrants can now pay $5 million to register for the fast track to citizenship. At least 15,000 people have already signed up. Commerce Secretary Lutnick says the $5 million ‘Trump Card’ could potentially generate $1 trillion for the nation.

INTIMIDATION: Leftie SF Gate described it as “two senators in quiet conversation.” Yeah, no. Feinstein’s body language is right out of the Democrats’ historical playbook. It was Democrats who forced Native Americans to march the Trail of Tears. It was Democrats who went to war rather than free their slaves. It was Democrats who, having lost the war, instituted segregation and Jim Crow laws to keep them uppity n*****s under their thumbs. It was Democrats who wore white hoods to lynchings and it is Democrats today wearing black bloc to “mostly peaceful protests.”

ISRAEL vs. IRAN: Read below if you need a catch up. I’m too distressed about this to dive in and report on the details. :-(“`

NO KINGS MARCHES: [5:39] – Reportedly, the vast majority of the people who attended these marches were retired middle class white people. IOW, the same sheeple who were conned by anti-American psyops to protest Vietnam and climate change. This particular issue is especially stupid. Trump is far more law abiding than Obama or Biden were.

SCOTUS: [11:11] – The Supremes voted 9-0 in favor of religious freedom.

GENESIUS TIMES: LOS ANGELES—In a dazzling display of logic-defying activism, anti-ICE protesters turned the streets of Los Angeles into a blazing paradox yesterday, firebombing the very country they’re desperate to call home—apparently to avoid the heartbreak of returning to the homelands they adore.

LA Riots

The Trump administration has ordered more than 2,000 National Guard troops to deploy to Los Angeles following violent confrontations between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and protesters.

California’s Democrats are on the side of the rioters. First, LA Mayor Karen Bass declared that the city’s official position was to stand on the side of illegal aliens.

Then LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell announced that the police would not provide any assistance to ICE operations.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted, “The Right to assemble and protest does not include a license to attack law enforcement officers, or to impede and obstruct our lawful immigration operations. We are thoroughly reviewing the evidence from yesterday’s incident in Los Angeles and we are working with the US Attorney’s Office to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. The days of chaos ruling the streets are over. Either obey the law, or go to jail, there’s no third option.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please bring this thought to mind when we are tempted to say or text something that isn’t pleasing to You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BE THE POND: The devil wants us to be the fish, emotion clouds vision and delays obedience. As baptized Christians, we must all be ponds that are filled with Living Water!

DIVORCE: A study entitled “Divorce, Family Arrangements, and Children’s Adult Outcomes” was just published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Researchers examined tax and census records for more than 5 million people to examine how parental divorce affected them long-term. The study found these individuals experienced teen births 73% more often than their peers with non-divorced peers; 35% more died by age 25; and 43% more ended up in jail.

DOGE: After 14 weeks, approximately 610,000 of the ~4.6M active federal credit cards/accounts have been deactivated.

EDUCATION: Long-running fraud in federal student aid has stolen about $1 billion of the $120 billion the Department of Education has each year to help low-income students. The fraudsters (largely international crime rings) have used stolen SSNs to sign up for online classes at secondary institutions, receive federal student loans or Pell Grants, use a chatbot to “show up” for the first few days of classes, then disappear with the money. Starting next week, DoE will be doing identity checks on financial aid applicants.

ELON: CLICK https://x.com/DefiantLs/status/1930748394215227399 [1:01] to hear Jesse Watters point out that “if you look at this Big, Beautiful Bill, there’s no favors for Elon Musk in it at all.” I hate it when friends fight, so I am choosing to believe they’re pranking the Left. I can totally see The Donald telling Uncle Elon to pretend to fight with him on social media as a Big, Beautiful Thank You for his service. If Elon “hates” Trump, the Left will stop persecuting him and Tesla. I doubt very much that either of these men care a toot about their net worth; they’re so wealthy, a drop in stock prices wouldn’t affect their life styles. But a drop in Tesla sales that leads to layoffs would affect the lifestyles of their workers and I am quite sure both men care very much about that.

If it’s fake, you will either see the actor close up (like in the clip) or from too far away to tell that he or she is a stunt double.

MARYLAND DAD: Y’all remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadoran illegal and MS-13 member the Dems made into their anti-deportation poster boy? Well, El Salvador agreed to return him to the US so he can face criminal charges.

CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1931334446679998528 [:56] to hear Steven Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy and the 12th United States homeland security advisor since 2025.

People with brains and common sense know the difference between legal and illegal immigration. ::smh::

MORE WINNING: A U.S. District Court judge has thrown out the Democratic National Committee’s lawsuit against a number of Trump’s executive orders.

TEXAS: Twenty-four years ago, Texas passed a law granting illegals in-state tuition benefits if they could show they had been living in Texas for at least five years. Trump’s DOJ recently filed a lawsuit stating the law to be unconstitutional; to his credit, Texas AG Ken Paxton filed a joint motion agreeing with it. Texas didn’t bother to fight it; illegals will no longer get in-state tuition benefits in Texas.

GRAMMY NOTES: When I chastised my grandson, he said, “You’re my grandmother. You’re supposed to always praise me!“

I asked who had raised him? “My mom.”

And who raised her? “You.”

Exactly.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us to know You, to love You, and to serve You in true humility. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DIVERSITY: The Supremes have ruled unanimously in favor of a straight woman in Ohio who filed a “reverse discrimination” lawsuit against her employer when her gay boss declined to promote her. Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the opinion for the court. The ruling will make it easier to win such suits in some parts of the country.

ELON AND DONALD: This week, “Uncle Elon” started posting highly critical remarks on X about the GOP’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

Trump told reporters he felt blindsided by Musk’s opposition to the bill and suggested it might have been driven by the elimination of an EV mandate.

Musk says, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51–49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.”

Trump says, “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.”

FAUXTUS: Trump has ordered an investigation into Biden’s health, the coverup, and who exactly was running things at the White House. The investigation is to be led by White House counsel David Warrington in coordination with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Biden told Politico, “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

FBI: [15:10] – FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino talks about Epstein, COVID, Mar-a-Lago, Crossfire Hurricane, cocaine in the White House, and more.

KJP: Up until two days ago, anyone who criticized Biden’s press secretary was slandered as a racist, homophobic woman hater. But since her book announcement, her former White House colleagues have been telling reporters they always hated her.

One person who worked closely with KJP said she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers. She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved.”

SCIENCE: Popular Mechanics just published an article suggesting that the scientific consensus on one issue may be wrong. Of course, they’re not talking about manmade climate change, cuz we all know fershure that that science is totally settled.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have unanimously overturned a lower court decision against Catholic Charities’ claim that they should be exempt from unemployment tax.

TRANS: CLICK https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1930371654015975488 [3:28] to hear Noah call his four years as a “female” was “the single worst mistake I’ve made in my life. … I feel like a tree that grew the wrong way.”

WASHINGTON: Law enforcement agencies dismantled what they call the largest and most dangerous drug trafficking organization in the Seattle area. The organization trafficked large amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl from California into Washington. The investigation, which dates back to November 2023, seized narcotics with a street value of nearly $3 million. Officials say the volume of fentanyl alone was enough to kill Seattle’s population twice over.

TRAVEL BANS: President Trump has signed a declaration banning all travel from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. President Trump says in the proclamation, “I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people.” In addition to outright bans, the proclamation also calls for heightened restrictions on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. The new travel protocols go into effect at 12:01 am Monday.

GRAMMY NOTES: Years ago, we had to get public assistance for a brief period. We received a new monthly check a couple of days after Dearest had landed a new job, so I took the check down to the welfare office to return the money. I guess they were short-staffed, because only one window was open and the line was very long. When I was finally in the #2 spot, the lady ahead of me told the beleaguered staff worker that she was there for the same reason I was. Upon hearing she’d have to wait until someone from upstairs told the worker how to handle it, the woman flipped out and, cussing at the poor worker, wadded up the check and threw it over the counter. The poor worker looked like she was going to cry, so I tried to be as nice as possible, telling her I was FINE with waiting while she called upstairs. A few minutes later, the answer came down from on high. With a big grin, the worker told me, “You can keep the check.”

DAILY PRAYER: Amen.

BORDER: [3:38] – ::smh:: over stupid Massatwoshits’ coddling of criminals. Not that New Yuck State is any better. ::sigh::

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1055852919820446 and https://www.facebook.com/reel/2060850404397164 to hear Patrick Coffin outline the encouraging things Pope Leo has done so far.

CRIME: Homicides in the U.S. have dropped by more than 20% from 2024.

ECONOMY: The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office in January. CNBC reports other great numbers for Trump’s first four months. The inflation rate is down and lower than expected, personal income is up and almost triple the expectations, and our international trade deficit is half what it was.

AUTOPEN: CLICK https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1930307585640673425 to hear Peter Doocy explain how he looked closely at every document “President” Biden had “signed” and found all 162 executive orders, 242 memoranda, and 725 proclamations bear identical autopen signatures. In four years, Biden hand-signed a single document, the letter he wrote in 2024 when he dropped out of the race. Unelected bureaucrats clearly controlled the autopen.

DOGE: Over the last two days, agencies terminated 61 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $255 million.

FBI: Director Patel announced on X that a Chinese national has been arrested for smuggling a dangerous fungus called “Fusarium graminearum” into the U.S. The fungus, which can cause a disease called “head blight” in wheat, barley, maize (corn), and rice, is considered an agroterrorism agent.

FRAUD: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged six people for stealing $66 million from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, aka, food stamps). One of the six is (was?) a USDA employee. The scheme began in 2019 which amounts to something like $11 million per year. Wow.

KJP: FAUXTUS’ press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, has a new book coming out in October entitled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.” I’m sure there are some who will choose to forget the central role she played in perpetuating the coverup. I am not one of them.

TRANS: Actor Jonathan Joss was murdered by a neighbor with whom he had long been feuding. Jonathan’s so-called “husband” of three months (a biological woman who “identifies” as a man) is proclaiming the shooting was a “homophobic hate crime.” The police, who have the shooter in custody, say there is no evidence to support calling it a “hate crime.” Their records show Joss had exhibited threatening and bizarre behaviors for years, leading to police being called by concerned neighbors more than 40 times. Neighbors say Joss was a violent man who had recently burned his house down trying to set up a meth lab inside. ::smh::

WINNING: Matt Walsh posted, “Five years ago every major corporation in the country spent the entire month of June shoving LGBT propaganda in our faces. Today Pride Month is in shambles. This change did not happen by accident. It’s the result of a strategic campaign by some of us on the Right. This is a real win. We should acknowledge that and celebrate it.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this on Facebook – “I babysit my talkative 3 year old grandson, who continually puts me in hysterics. I asked him the other day where mommy went. He replied ‘she’s feeding the baby but I can’t tell you because boobies are private.’”

I replied – “My father-in-law was extremely strait-laced, so when my eldest was at the age to become curious about gender differences, I decided to have a talk with her about NOT EVER asking Grandfather if he had a penis. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bathroom. ‘That’s a potty word. We have to talk in here.’“
