All Souls Day

ALASKA: Dan J. Sullivan, who filed to run as a Republican against GOP incumbent Sen. Dan Scott Sullivan, has not campaigned at all. His son, Noah, is a registered Democrat who works as a field representative for Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA). Perez (left in photo above) is good buddies with the Democratic candidate, Mary Peltola (right in photo above).

DEMOCRATS: Lynching political enemies is nothing new for the members of the party that founded the KKK.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: You know the saying … if they didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

EVERYDAY HEROES: @SamuraiShibaJP posted the following to X – I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question. “What do you admire most about Americans?” Here are the top answers. 10. “They clap when the plane lands.” (Office worker, 34) … 9. “They say ‘I love you’ every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men.” (Taxi driver, 61) … 8. “A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn’t want anything.” (High school girl, 16) … 7. “They thank the bus driver when they get off.” (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.) … 6. “They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man’s divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes.” (My mother, 64) … 5. “They stand for the anthem at a children’s baseball game.” (Little League coach, 47) … 4. “When they lose, they shake hands and say ‘good game.’ And they mean it.” (Sota, 12) … 3. “They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because.” (Nurse, 28) … 2. “They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name.” (My cousin’s husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once).

And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He’s 91. He thought about it for a long time. Then he said: “They still believe tomorrow will be better than today.” I asked him what he meant. “In 1946, we had nothing,” he said. “The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them.” I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that. He nodded slowly. “Tell them,” he said, “not to stop.”

FAFO: Allison Albro (21) was arrested after posting a selfie on social media with unsettling statement on committing assassination of the US president. The post reportedly ended with “Wish me luck, guys.”

Volusia County (Florida) sheriffs says she claimed it was a joke, that she does not have access to a firearm, and had no intention of hurting anyone.

18 U.S. Code § 871a states, “Whoever knowingly and willfully ,,, makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”

MIDTERM: If you want that too, vote Republican.

OBAMA: [12:42] – “The tally of promises” … let’s to that, Barack. Let’s start with “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.“

OHIO: CLICK https://x.com/AshSavesUSA/status/2116568518783107326 [1:49] to hear the Democrat gubernatorial candidate channel drunk Kamala.

I’m noticing not just the kids’ behaviors, in the presence of their parents, but also who photographed and posted the images. The first one is a porch cam that the home owner posted. The second was filmed and posted by the mother.

STUPID PEOPLE: The kid was right. @RealTJS2 elaborated with, “Marty’s was a Chicago deep dish and Luis ate a thin crust.” LOL

VIRGINIA: The letter says the appropriate officials have carefully examined the dead dog’s criminal record and determined it deserves a second chance.

GRAMMY NOTES: I love what Mama Buzz did to celebrate the Catholic feast of All Hallow’s Eve! They were going out trick or treating, so she placed a decorated table in front of their door with a bowl of treats on it.

Then she created a science-project-style display of family photos from our genealogy binders labeled “Pray For Our Dead” with an explanation about the Catholic 3-day feast called “Hallowtide.” Then she added a sign saying they would pray for all the people whose names got put into the jar and provided paper, pencils, and a jar.

She emailed me, “I wrote some of our names in a couple pieces of paper to start the jar so no one feels intimidated about being the first one. I tried to make it inviting and loving, not preachy or intimidating. When we got back from trick or treating, there were lots of names in the jar!”

I can’t tell you how whelmed I feel right now, knowing I helped raise this amazing woman.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On October 12, 1492, after more than two months at sea, Christopher Columbus and his crew landed in America.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: Similarly, they never talk about needing more diversity in the NFL or the NBA.

EDUCATION: Forty-eight years ago, I took a graduate level education course at Cornell University. The professor, who had a doctorate in education, declared, out loud and in class … as if it was some Confucius level piece of wisdom … that if schools had done their jobs, they would have all closed by now (then). Read that again and think about it, because he clearly never had.

LIFE: I did that to a lobster once. It was so obvious it suffered that I never did it again.

LYING LIARS: Millions of people hate Trump for saying things he never said.

PROTESTANT REFORMATION: While rejecting the combined wisdom of more than a millennium of Catholic scholars, Martin Luther decided that he and he alone understood what Jesus had taught. He was furious when the men he had personally taught disagreed with him and went on to found their own denominations.

SYRACUSE: A friend of ours attended the Trump rally last Friday and got this photo as POTUS walked in.

GRAMMY NOTES: The day our realtor took me through this house and I saw it had a willow tree in the back yard, I knew it would be our forever home. We loved that tree, so it was a sad day when we realized it had become a hazard and needed to be cut down. Loathe to lose it altogether, we cooked up a plan to use the bottom of the trunk for what we call Fort Stump.

Our original plan had a rope ladder up the front and a climbing net on the back. Neither of these worked, plus the open railing made the Mamas very nervous. So this summer, we bought a nifty adjustable ladder that is sturdy and safe for the kids, plus will be very handy for home projects. And this fall, Nonno installed a railing on the fourth side. He tightened up the last screws on Sunday, so we’re all set for the next blessed invasion of grandchildren!

AMERICAN HISTORY: On October 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire started. Over the next four days, it killed about 300 people and destroyed more than 4 square miles of buildings.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdM9OG6Jgr_/?stkn=bWQyZTlqYXgwY2lq to hear a cradle Catholic take on the workers in the vineyard parables. I’ve often thought about the difference in that parable, not in the end wage, but rather in the experience of the various workers during the day. Yes, the early morning hires worked all day, but they also knew all day they would have money for their families. Those hired later had hours of anxiety and, for the latest ones, maybe despair that this night, their children would go to bed hungry.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: You know the saying … if they didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

IMMIGRATION: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed denaturalization cases against 40 individuals accused of various crimes, including child pornography, drug offenses, sodomy against a special needs man, child sexual abuse, identity theft, voluntary manslaughter, and espionage for China.

MILITARY: In 2009, Nidal Hasan, an Army officer stationed at Fort Hood went to his desk, bowed his head for several seconds, then shouted “Allahu Akbar! ” and began spraying “bullets at soldiers in a fanlike motion” before taking aim at individual soldiers. He killed 13 and wounded 32. The Obama administration labeled the attack “workplace violence,” because they didn’t want to admit it was an Islamic terror attack. President Trump has just approved Hasan’s execution by Army firing squad.

OH CANADA: The bad news is that Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program approved a woman’s request to die, because she was upset that she could no longer cook for her family. The good news is that, with counseling, she came to understand that her family valued who she was, not what she did for them, and revoked her request.

In 2021, the Canadian government removed the “reasonably foreseeable death” requirement. MAID deaths now account for around 5% of all deaths in Canada.

PLANET FITNESS: On Oct. 1, Laquan Holland (40) was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting two women inside a Planet Fitness women’s locker room in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Holland entered the women’s locker room where he sexually assaulted a woman and prevented her from leaving the area. He then attacked a second woman who attempted to intervene.

Planet Fitness, which advertises itself as a “judgment-free zone”, has a policy of allowing male members to enter women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, and showers, supposedly “based on their self-reported gender identity.” There’s no indication that Holland even pretended to be a woman. He has, however, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of child rape and one count of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. Planet Fitness says it has canceled Holland’s membership and is working with police.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: St. John Bosco, also known as Don Bosco, was a19th century Italian Catholic priest and founder of the Salesian orders of priests, sisters, and lay people. He is known for his success ministering to youths, particularly boys. In his biography, it says he had a dream in which a tall dark figure with horns appears holding a magic lantern. Through it, boys were shown all kinds of tempting scenes which entertained them so intensely that it distracted them from Holy Communion.

TRANS: Zion Teasley (25) has pleaded guilty to stabbing Lauren Heike (29) to death and will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Before the murder, Teasley wrote in his diary that he was battling with his gender identity. He told authorities that he killed Heike because he was jealous of her beauty.

TREASURY: The Treasury Department has saved We The Taxpayers $175 million by not sending money to dead people.

GRAMMY NOTES: In 1972, I was privileged to journey behind the Iron Curtain with a high school tour group. We visited Helsinki first, then crossed into the USSR to visit Leningrad and Moscow. Our Russian tour guide was a young mother who told us she wanted to care of her 3 yo daughter herself, but that the government didn’t allow that. She had to work. AND she was given only two choices of jobs. She took tour guide as the less onerous of her options.

BORDER: [4:58] – A caravan of about 300 left Honduras on September 20 and entered southern Mexico on September 24. The group, which is still heading to our border, has since swelled to more than 600 members. Tom Homan says there’s no way in hell they’re going to get into the U.S.

COVID: @TheRickster1957 posted, “My wife contracted severe case of Covid and was struggling to breathe. I knew admitting her to hospital would have been a death sentence. I was able to reach out to @RX_forLiberty for help. He provided phone consult and prescribed Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Budesonide and Doxycycline. Dr. Barke saved her life and did not charge a dime! I will forever be in his debt.“

DEMOCRATS “vs” REPUBLICANS: Dems voted down a Republican-led effort to ban insider trading. I’m thinking that Republican senators getting rich from insider trading didn’t actually want the bill to pass; why else would they tack on a voter ID provision they know Dems oppose? So, now Republicans get to tell their constituents they voted for the ban, while Democrats get to tell their constituents they voted against voter ID. Meanwhile, they get to keep lining their pockets in a way that is highly illegal for the rest of us.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: You know the saying … if they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

EVERYDAY HEROES: ”Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food. Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car. She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream. Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better. After eating I waited for a break in business so that I could return to Tina’s window. I then took this picture and spoke with Tina’s supervisor, telling him what she did for me.” Credit : Rebecca Boening

IRAN WAR: The New York Post reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has put out a 25-page letter urging Americans to vote Democrat on Nov. 3.

MAHA: A new episode of The Real Food Show. [2:53] – Back in the 1980s, I was diagnosed with a vast number of food and chemical sensitivities and had to go on a Rotary Diversified Diet (RDD) of organic foods. Initially, I only had one food per meal; when I had identified 2 I tolerated, I could try them together to see how that worked, etc.

The RDD organizes all foods by families; a specific food is only eaten once in a four day rotation, while a relative is only eaten on the second day after. E.g., in my rotation, I had turkey, cauliflower, and pears on Day One and chicken, broccoli, and apples on Day Three.

A friend was visiting for a week and I realized she had been nervous about eating meals with me when I overheard her tell her husband on the phone, “It tastes like real food!” I always thought that would make a great title for a cookbook about my diet and I’m so tickled with Sec. Kennedy’s name for his show!

MIDTERMS: [17:29] – Most often, election results are to the right of what the polls were showing. The exciting news is that the blue states are showing GOP candidates even or near even with the Democrat candidates. And get this … the latest Quinnipiac poll of men shows only 17% of American men approve of the Democratic Party!

NATIONAL SECURITY: An immigration judge has ruled that the U.S. can deport the Palestinian-born leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on the grounds that he is a national security threat.

TRANS: A 17-year-old trans person (Julia Egler) has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for murdering her mother and her mother’s boyfriend in 2024. She told investigators her mom had “misgendered” her. CLICK https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2027551138552131843 [1:20] to hear her talk with investigators

TRUMP ECONOMY: So far this year, jobless claims have averaged just under 210,000. This is the lowest average for the January through September period since 1969.

The population of the United States in 1969 was approximately 202.68 million people. Today, it is estimated to be 349.04 people. If I did the math right, today’s population is 92% higher than it was in 1969. So a lowest average jobless claim is truly remarkable!

In other news, the US federal workforce is at its lowest level in 60 years, down by 11% since Trump took office.

DC: On August 20, 2025, Matthew Yglesias, Democrat blogger and jerknalist, posted, “I’m worried Trump is only going to make crime worse.”

On September 21, 2026, he posted, “DC crime has fallen enough that the CVS by my house has stopped locking the locks on the cases they installed during Peak Shoplifting and it’s such a quality of life upgrade.”

@RussCanRead replied, “This isn’t an upgrade, it’s a return the very basic level of expectations we should have in society.“

@muttguy3 noted, “Almost 300 replies pointing out that it’s thanks to President Trump and the National Guard that crime has fallen in DC. And not ONE comment from Yglesias acknowledging that, or heaven forfend, thanking President Trump for that. What an ill-mannered contemptible churl he is.“

EVERYDAY HEROES: A keeper was making his usual rounds when shouting from the primate enclosure caught his attention. When he rushed over, he found an orangutan holding a much smaller gibbon tightly in his arms. At first, he feared the orangutan was hurting him, but after watching closely, he realized he wasn’t biting, hitting, or crushing the gibbon. He was simply refusing to let him leave.

The keeper eventually got them separated, but the encounter was unusual enough that staff began watching the enclosure more closely. That’s when they noticed a pattern. The gibbon had been repeatedly harassing the orangutan’s young son, chasing and bothering him around the enclosure. Whenever he pushed things too far, Dad would step in, grab the gibbon, and hold him there until he calmed down.

When asked about the unusual behavior, one caretaker laughed and said, “Apparently, ‘Go sit down and think about what you did’ might not be exclusively a human parenting strategy.”

EVERYDAY HEROES: This week, the Maine Supreme Court upheld a lower court order banning Emily Bickford from taking her daughter to any Christian “services, gatherings, or events” or to expose the child “to the teachings of any religious philosophy or of the Bible in general,” because the non-custodial parent, Matthew, objects to biblical teachings. The ban has been in place for two years.

“Depriving one parent their right to instill their religious views into their child and granting sole authority to the other parent fails to give proper protection to parental rights and religious freedom under the First Amendment. The implications of this opinion pose a serious threat to religious freedom. Liberty Counsel will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to ultimately decide this case.” – LC Founder and Chairman Mat Staver

But He was not born in a Muslim country cuz, duh, Islam didn’t exist them. At the time He was born, Israel was a province of the Roman Empire. There was a period of time during which the Holy Land was under Muslim rule, but today, it is a Jewish nation.

BORDER: The State Department says it will make permanent a visa bond program under which citizens from 50 countries are required to post bonds of up to $20,000 for business or tourist visas. The rule is intended to prevent immigrants from overstaying their visas.

Unite to Prevent & Unite to Cure. Opening the proceedings was not a theologian, not a pastor, not a defender of natural law. It was Anthony Fauci. Beside him, Deepak Chopra, Chelsea Clinton… and, in the program, the top executives of Pfizer and Moderna.

Trump’s Speech

Election Integrity documents @ https://www.whitehouse.gov/election-integrity/

Ensuring the integrity of our elections is fundamental to preserving trust in American democracy. Following the 2020 presidential election, concerns about potential irregularities prompted detailed examinations of voting processes, data security, and registration practices across multiple states. Below, you can download documents and reports addressing key areas of election integrity. They cover:

Vulnerabilities in Electronic Voting & Ballot-Counting Systems – For years Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot-counting systems. We are releasing a series of previously-classified U.S. Intelligence Community Assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack.

China’s Acquisition and Exploitation of American Voter Data – Over a period of years starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history—resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote, and engage in other nefarious activities. This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.

Michigan Voter-Registration Investigation – Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up. Among the disclosures are FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter registration operation in Michigan. In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat get-out-the-vote organization in Muskeegon, and were so concerned by what they found, that they contacted the FBI in Detroit. The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registrations for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to the number of applications they produced. The FBI agents working on the case believed that crimes were committed—yet the Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the investigation for years. Director Patel is being directed to ensure that the matter is fully investigated, and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes.

Noncitizens on State Voter Rolls – According to a D.H.S. review of state voter rolls and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refused to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher—yet even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote.

EVERYDAY HEROES: [1:09] – Video of Carl Isom-McDaniel (65) being thrown into the air by an angry Yellowstone bison went viral over the week-end. He broke his femur in four places near his hip, but posted to social media that he was “OK” and already able to stand Monday after having surgery on Sunday.

During an interview with CNN, he praised the animal for not killing him. “When I was on the ground immobile, unable to move, he was right on top of me. He could have stomped on me, he could have gored me, he could have done almost anything to take my life, and he did not do so.”

IRAN: [9:23] – U.S. forces have hit hundreds of targets to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump declares we will keep the Strait open for world shipping and those who use it will pay us to do it.

FLORIDA: Democrats in dozens of states have used race-based gerrymandering to create voting districts that favoried Democrats. Within hours of SCOTUS declaring the practice unconstitutional, the Florida legislature passed the new districting map. Republicans in other states are demanding the same.

MICHIGAN: Neighborhood Crime Watch signs are specifically intended to warn criminals that they are not welcome. Ann Arbor just had all of them removed, because “we are a welcoming community” and the signs are “are an expression of exclusion.”

MILITARY: CLICK https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2050032453117698149 [:49] to hear Senator Jack Reed [D-RI] suggest Pete Hegseth shouldn’t be a military leader because he is a Christian who is proud to be American. Everybody has someone or something they believe is or should be #1. I prefer the person making military decisions to have his number ones be Jesus Christ and the well-being of our nation and our fighting men and women.

NEW YUCK CITY: “It turns out Margaret Thatcher wasn’t being dramatic — she was being predictive: ‘The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.’

“Exhibit A: According to the New York Post, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already asking the City Council for a budget extension… while simultaneously shaking down Albany for more taxpayer cash. Apparently the money ran out faster than the slogans.

GRAMMY NOTES: Posted to Facebook by our local ReUse It Center – “‘Salvaged'” is just a fancy way of saying the wood is between jobs and waiting to become a house again instead of retiring in a landfill. This is a productive cycle where a tree becomes a doorway, then another doorway, because this lumber has a very strong work ethic and refuses to stay down.” ❤
