DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to know You more fully, to love You more deeply, and to serve You more perfectly. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

FREDDY: Yesterday, I reported on the airport security beagle who got kicked by the jerk whose luggage he outed. Today, Border Patrol posted, Thanks to everyone for their concern about Freddy who was injured while performing his duties at Dulles airport. He was treated by his veterinarian, and is expected to make a full recovery. Here he is enjoying his favorite comfort treat – a Pup Cup!

GROK: Dearest was suspicious of a text he got telling him UPS needed to schedule a delivery. I went to X and asked Grok if the URL was a scam or a genuine link. I got back “The URL https://www.ups.com@servicemik.cfd/us is not a genuine UPS link and is likely a scam.” It then gave us a detailed analysis, including the fact that the .cfd thing is used a lot by scammers.

LANGUAGE: Reply posted by Ahmed Saleh – Well, you see, after a thorough consideration of the available information, coupled with an exhaustive mental inventory of everything I’ve learned, observed, or experienced up until this moment, I must conclude that despite my best efforts to analyze the question from every conceivable angle, I am, regrettably, unable to provide a definitive answer to this question. In short, I don’t know.

I asked Grok at X. It said, “Half a dozen” is used instead of “six” for a few reasons. It’s a concise way to express the number six, rooted in the fact that a dozen is twelve, so half of that is six. The phrase carries a folksy, idiomatic charm, often used in casual speech or writing to add flavor or emphasis, like saying “a couple” instead of “two.” It can also imply an approximate count, suggesting a small, manageable group without being overly precise. For example, “I bought half a dozen eggs” feels more conversational than “I bought six eggs.” Historically, it ties to trade and commerce, where items like eggs or rolls were commonly sold by the dozen, making “half a dozen” a natural shorthand. Plus, it just rolls off the tongue nicely in certain contexts.

In short, it sounds folksy and is fun to say.

PSA: Voicemails are typically stored on the server of your cellular network provider, not directly on your phone.

SCOTUS: On X, @shipwreckedcrew wrote, The FACT that six Justices were OK with signing onto an opinion where Justice Barrett took a personal shot at Justice Jackson is a VERY STRONG indication that Jackson has alienated her colleagues and there is a growing lack of respect for her work. Justices circulate Memos among with their legal views on certain cases in order to bring others around to their thinking. Given what she has written in her dissent, imagine the memos that Jackson must have sent around in this case. Barrett aptly boils it down to a single point — Jackson would elevate the primacy of single district judges about the Executive because they are “the court” in the separation of powers.

Not The Bee (link below) highlighted some of the worst quotations from Jackson’s decision, including the use of the colloquial phrases “full stop” and “. . . (wait for it) . . .”

The thread on that post is an interesting read. Samples: My crystal ball predicts Jackson will be “pushed” out” forcing her to retire from SCOTUS. … Let’s be honest…in a non-DEI world, KBJ wouldn’t have made the top 50 list of candidates for nomination to SCOTUS. … Jackson was picked by Autopen to fill a quota. Another commenter noted that Jackson rudely failed to end with the customary “respectfully dissent.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I recall reading about a longitudinal study that compared mortality rates for people who ate restrictive diets. The people in the middle, those who had eaten a balanced diet, lived the longest.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for another day, Lord. May we each use it to Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CBP: Good riddance.

CONVICTED: On Friday, Felipe Orduna-Torres and Armando Gonzalez-Ortega were fined $250 ,000 each and sentenced to die in prison for their roles in stuffing 66 wannabe illegals into a tractor trailer without air conditioning. Fifty-three of their “clients” died inside the sweltering hot box. The dead included six children and a pregnant woman, so make that 54 who died.

DEMOCRATS: H.R. 6976, aka, the “Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act”, has been passed by the House; 160 Democrats voted NAY.

The roll call vote is recorded @ https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025183. I’m pleased to see my representative, who is a Democrat, voted YEA.

The full text of the bill is @ https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/875. Unlike many bills that have nice-sounding titles while being filled with pork, this one simply means what it says. That is, any illegal alien who drives while impaired is deportable. Whatcha wanna bet that “illegals who drive drunk vote Democrat” is the real motivation behind those NAY votes?

CLICK https://x.com/RepBarryMoore/status/1938277424221065333 [1:02] to hear from a congressman who knew two of the victims.

DEPORTATIONS: In the five months since Trump took office, 2,711 members of Tren de Aragua have been removed from our communities. TdA is one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world.

EDUCATION: Maybe the NEA has been wrong all these years that throwing more money at the problem will solve the problem.

FAIR SHARE: President Trump has convinced NATO nations to each spend 5% of their GDP on their own military defense by 2035.

FBI: Since Trump took office, the agency has arrested 4,000 violent criminals, a 62% increase from the same period last year, including three of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted, an unnamed number of cartel leaders, 825 violent child predators, and 140 human traffickers. These arrests have helped bring the murder rate in our country to its lowest level ever recorded. Fibbies have also assisted other LEOs in apprehending 18,000 illegal aliens and arresting more than 700 rioters.

SCOTUS: There is a lot of chatter on the ‘net today about the Supremes’ 6-3 vote to stop activist judges from interfering with POTUS’ executive powers.

CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1938740969651818697 [2:11] to hear Stephen Miller highlight how this decision addresses judicial overreach.

CLICK https://x.com/tedcruz/status/1938734598768541982 [:38] to hear Sen. Ted Cruz opine on the Barrett (pro) vs. Brown (con) decisions.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’ve been sewing for 69 years. I learned a lot of stuff I never knew from this excellent video. [19:28] – Because I am hypersensitive to chemicals, I have to prewash everything, sometimes more than once, before I can sew. Even after pre-washing, I often can not use flannels. I don’t know why, but they still give me a rash.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for air conditioning, refrigerators, clean, plentiful water and cooling rain. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BIDEN: [5:27] – I thought Joe’s inability to do the job was apparent during the 2020 campaign. I was only surprised that they didn’t 25th Amendment him within the first six months. I’m thinking maybe the Dems didn’t predict Jill’s lust for power and/or Kamala’s Kamala-ness.

BORDER: The Supreme voted 6-3 in favor of allowing Trump to deport illegal aliens to non-citizen nations willing to accept them. Some nations don’t want their garbage back; some illegal aliens claim they can’t be sent back, because their lives are at risk at home. The usual three dissented (Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor).

IRAN: Obama piled $1.7 billion in cash onto pallets and sent it all to Iran. Biden allowed them to trade oil again, which netted them many more billion$. Trump cleaned up the mess they made.

NEW/OLD PHONES: [4:13] – This is a fun story.

GRAMMY NOTES: Actually, the kids who got ignored learned that tantrums scored them nothing but snotty faces, headaches, and sore throats. It was the kids (like Veruca Salt) whose parents gave them whatever they wanted to shut them up who learned to scream to get what they wanted.

BABYLON BEE on the 2A: [6:43] – She forgot to announce her pronouns!

BORDER: With the possibility of Iran using sleeper agents to strike at us, relevant agencies are on high alert.

IRAN: [ 2:15] – Iran launched an attack on our largest military base in the Middle East. The regime told their people it was a big deal. It wasn’t. Yesterday, President Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire.

NO KING PROTESTS: [9:44] – I think it’s funny how little coverage I’m seeing of these protests. All the news is focused on Trump’s destruction of Iran’s nuclear program.

QUILT TERMS: [4:31] – When I was a graduate student in communication arts, my professor mentioned that the epitome of success in advertising came when a brand’s name became the public’s generic name.

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.

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.

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.

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. Armed with Molotov cocktails and a questionable grasp of strategy, the demonstrators torched government buildings while chanting, “Don’t deport us back to paradise!”

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.”
