DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please help us all to strive for eternal life with You! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

119thCONGRESS: The members of the 119th Congress took their oaths of office yesterday. CLICK https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1875241394329239895 [:13] to hear VP Kamala Harris screw up the Pledge of Allegiance.

Mike Johnson was re-elected as Speaker of the House on the first ballot, with every Republican except Thomas Massie voting for him and every Democrat voting for Hakeem Jeffries. CLICK https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1875273293814755391 [:05] to hear Jeffries declare the Democrats’ commitment to “fart hard for the freedom to vote.”

On January 6, the House and Senate will hold a joint session to count electoral votes and certify the 2024 United States presidential election. Pray with us that it will go smoothly.

BOOTYJUDGE: On December 31, Biden’s Secretary of Transportation tweeted, “I’m confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration’s “Big Deal” for infrastructure made big things possible.”

This is the man who was handed 7.5 billion dollars to build EV charging stations and only got seven (7 … as in six plus one) built.

CATHOLIC: To all those who claim the Catholic Church is only pro-birth, not pro-life, your argument doesn’t wash.

Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to Merchan’s order by calling it “a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s Immunity decision and other longstanding jurisprudence” and that “President Trump will continue fighting against these hoaxes until they are dead.”

USA: [4:11] – “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, let us never become so discouraged by our failures that we stop coming back to You for forgiveness and a fresh start. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORDER: Remember when Biden took office and halted construction of border wall that was already paid for? He left piles and piles of expensive border wall units sitting around, then put them up for auction for pennies on the dollar. Lone Star State Attorney General Ken Paxton sued to block the sales and won.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND: A whistle blowing vicar says Anglican priests throughout England were urged to modify “problematic” Advent hymns and Christmas carols that might be possibly offensive to non-Christian. One example of offense was affirming that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. Why am I not surprised to learn that, over the past decade, more than 400 Anglican churches in Britain have shut down due to a lack of attendance and support from the local community?

COVID-19: The Wall Street Journal has done some actual journalism, revealing what those of us who were paying attention knew early in 2020. That is, that the virus was engineered in and escaped from the Wuhan lab in China.

The WSJ further revealed that three scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence – John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien – reported this fact to the FBI and were told to shut up about it.

It might be news to the WSJ’s readers that all information about the lab leak origin was omitted from presidential briefings. But it wasn’t surprising to those of us who were paying attention. Real journalists told us years ago that the research funding had Tony Fauci’s sticky fingers all over it.

FAUXTUS: That’s about 52 years worth of vacation days for your average American. And when Slow Joe was in the office, he rarely worked a full day and never worked overtime.

GALLUP: The number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. has dropped to 19%. I‘m wondering if the 20% who are not satisfied with our direction, yet approve of Biden performance are mad about Trump’s win.

GEORGIA: A judge in Georgia has issued a ruling forcing Fani Willis to testify under oath before the State Senate to answer for the crimes she committed in the Trump “lawfare” case.

MASCULINITY: “I say embrace masculinity. We need more and more boys to grow up to be strong fathers.” – Kevin Sorbo. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k24wFad9IB8 to see one guy who has the good dad thing nailed. We have a similarly good dad here at Casa Hyphen where, years ago, a certain member of the tribe lost her door privileges for a time.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: I’ve heard this used to be a respectable magazine.

SINSICK: William (34) and Zachary (36) Zulock both pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, sexual exploitation of their two adopted sons. The gay couple, who lived in Atlanta, have each been sentenced to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole. DA Randy McGinley said, “These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I want to share my friend Hans’ first podcast @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA325997PgM. He recently retired (again) and, Hans being Hans, came up with yet another new thing to keep him busy. We’ve been friends since high school where we shared the school’s morning announcement duties for “WIHS.” Since then, Hans has managed a radio station, owned and operated an ambulance business, trained and used bloodhounds for search and rescue operations, taught me to rappel, became a forest ranger, met and married the love of his life with whom he adopted and raised 4 kids, supported her through becoming a Lutheran pastor, wrote and published a popular series of Christian science-fantasy novels (see “The Gewellyn Chronicles” by Hans Erdman at Amazon) while his beloved was undergoing cancer treatment, retired from the forest service and started a new career in security at a local college, engaged in a number of bicycle mission trips, and served as a bicycling EMT at numerous sporting events. Phew!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us all to focus on the central point of Christmas, which is to welcome Jesus into our hearts and lives. Making the holidays special is important, but it isn’t the reason for the season. Guide us in finding a good balance. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2024: The Electoral College voted on Tuesday, formalizing President-elect Donald Trump’s 312 vote victory over Vice President Kamala Harris’ 226. A U.S. presidential candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. Trump also won the popular vote with 77.2 million votes compared to Harris’ 75 million votes.

CONGRESS: On Wednesday, Trump, incoming administration nominees, and House Republicans succeeded in getting the House to scrap a 1,547-page, year-end, pork-loaded spending bill. Among other things, it would have given massive pay raises for Congress members, allowed them to avoid Obamacare, shield corrupt Jan. 6 House committee members like Liz Cheney from congressional subpoenas, and extend the life of a censorship agency within the State Department.

Noting that the giveaways were bribes to get Schumer and Biden to approve aid to farmers and disaster relief, Trump said, “Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF.”

FAUXTUS: A new Marquette poll likely cements Joe Biden’s status as least popular president ever. At the end of his first (and blessedly only ever) term, he scored a -32 (Approve: 34% minus Disapprove: 66%). By comparison, at the end of Trump’s first term, he scored a +6 (Approve: 53% minus Disapprove: 47%).

GEORGIA: This morning, the Georgia Court of Appeals found in favor of Donald Trump’s suit to disqualify the biased and corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election-related criminal case against him and about a dozen codefendants.

J6: On Tuesday, House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight released a new report that concludes the events of J6 were preventable. It also outlines why Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney should be investigated for witness tampering while serving as Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee. Cheney was one of the two NeverTrump Republicans that Pelosi agreed to allow on her corrupt kangaroo committee.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: [1:23] – A new documentary tells the story of how a female athlete not only had her athletic career destroyed, but now faces lasting physical and cognitive challenges as a result of a single shot to the head courtesy of a man playing as a girl.

DAILY PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I pray for Your protection. Surround us with Your love and care. Shield us from all harm. Guard our hearts and minds. Keep us safe from accidents and illness. Help us to trust in Your provision and to know that You are with us in all things. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2024: [5:01] – Satan’s post-election presser.

DEI: This week, a U.S. appeals ruled the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) “intruded into territory far outside its ordinary domain” when it attempted to impose a DEI rule for the boards of directors of companies listed on Nasdaq.

According to the rule, companies listed on the exchange had have “at least one director who self-identifies as a female” and at least one who “self-identifies as Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Asian, Native American or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, two or more races or ethnicities, or as LGBTQ+.”

DUKE LACROSSE: CLICK https://x.com/kcjohnson9/status/1867355689259049024 [:37] to hear Crystal Mangum confess she lied when she accused team members of raping her. Mangum has been in prison since 2013 for the murder of her boyfriend. This case was very personal for me. Tony Cullen was my baby brother. You can read about him at the third link below.

FBI: Trump’s response to the resignation of Director Wray – “The resignation of Christopher Wray is a great day for America as it will end the weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice. I just don’t know what happened to him. We will now restore the Rule of Law for all Americans. Under the leadership of Christopher Wray, the FBI illegally raided my home, without cause, worked diligently on illegally impeaching and indicting me, and has done everything else to interfere with the success and future of America. They have used their vast powers to threaten and destroy many innocent Americans, some of which will never be able to recover from what has been done to them.”

GIVING: Oscar Morris and his nonprofit, Free Canes for Veterans, recycles Christmas trees into free canes for veterans. The Florida native, who retired from the Navy eight years ago, says the trees make lightweight, strong, and beautiful canes. In addition, he puts the veteran’s military history on his or her cane. These include the branch of service, rank, units, and medals or ribbons. To date, Morris and his organization have made more than 1,000 canes for veterans, and seeing the effect it has had on his fellow veterans has made it all worth it. “They’re tough guys, women, and they don’t show any emotion. … It’s been a personal challenge of mine to make them cry when they get their cane, and I can squeeze a tear out of the toughest veteran.”

DOJ IG REPORT: The DOJ Inspector General has released a report that says the FBI had 26 confidential human sources in the crowd on January 6. Only three were assigned by the FBI to be present for the event and none were authorized or directed by the bureau to break the law or encourage others to commit illegal acts. During the event, four of these people entered the Capitol Building, while another 13 entered the restricted area outside. One wonders if these 17 people were charged and jailed for actions that put so many others behind bars.

J6: The FBI testified before Congress that they couldn’t identify the person who planted two pipe bombs during the Jan. 6 incident, because the phone data was corrupted. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, says they contacted every major cell carrier about their data. They all responded and said none of it was corrupted. Nor were they ever notified by the FBI about issues accessing the data. “This contradictory testimony raises some serious questions about the status of the investigation into the pipe bomber and about why the case remains unsolved nearly four years later.”

MILITARY: I still have 2 kids still in uniform. It is such a load off my mind to know Trump will soon be (practically already is!) their CiC! Please pray with us that his choice of a warrior to lead the Pentagon will receive swift and uncontroversial approval from the new Senate.

GRAMMY NOTES: I got the bright idea to harvest all the tutorials I did during the year I was studying watercolor with Emily Olsen at Watercolor Mastery and make greeting cards. I ended up with more than 50 cards! Then I got a hankering for a rubber stamp of the logo my sil designed for my old jewelry business to make the backs look fancy. Joey still had the layered files and was able to quickly remove the colored parts and send me a file I could use to order a stamp. I am SO happy with how cool my cards look!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, help us all to humbly ask You each day where we have hurt others through our thoughts, words, and deeds. Also show us where we failed to be “Jesus with skin on” and failed to help through our silence and inaction. And, Lord, after You show us, grant us the graces we need to repent and do better tomorrow. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ARGENTINA: After more than a century of out-of-control spending, President Javier Milei’s major governmental cuts have resulted in a surplus. “The deficit was the root of all our evils—without it, there’s no debt, no emission, no inflation.” January 20 can not come soon enough.

ANTI-SEMITISM: It’s not the first time something like this has happened to Acker. In May, an extremist showed up to his home at 4:40 a.m. and hung a note with a list of demands. Then, a few weeks later, four anti-Israel extremists vandalized Acker’s law firm office with anti-Israel messages. Acker says he will not back down. “Divestment [from Israel] is not something any one of us is considering.”

BUTLER: A House task force has determined that the near-fatal attempt on President-elect Donald Trump’s life at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally was enabled by “preexisting conditions and leadership failures.” within the U.S. Secret Service. The task force also noted that the Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, Department of Justice, FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) all failed to provide full cooperation with the inquiry. It’s past time to take out the trash.

CNN: A judge has ruled that Zachary Young’s defamation lawsuit may continue. During the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, Young, a U.S. Navy veteran, helped facilitate evacuations. Reporting on his efforts, CNN’s Jake Tapper claimed Young “was ‘exploiting’ ‘desperate Afghans’ on a ‘black market.‘”

Young says he used “his unique skillset and relationships to assist U.S. corporations and charities that wanted to safely and swiftly extract certain persons from Afghanistan.” He never took a single penny from any Afghan and everything he did was legal.

Judge Henry noted that CNN’s Alex Marquardt had already pitched his story before even talking to Young using what Henry described as “explosive” terms like “price gouging,” “extortion,” “shadowy black market,” and “fraud,” to preemptively malign Young. Agreeing that Young “did not do anything criminal or illegal”, the judge is allowing his suit seeking punitive damages to go to trial.

In other news, CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime last week. Despite breaking news that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, more of Trump’s Cabinet picks, and a rebel alliance taking over Syria … the Cable News Network’s viewership was smaller than the Food Network, the History channel, HGTV, and even MSNBC.

And in even other news, a new CNN poll shows a majority of Americans support Trump and his transition moves. CLICK https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1866930422212329956 [:44] to see the report.

DOJ: The DOJ’s Inspector General issued a new report in which he reveals that the Department of Justice spied on Kash Patel as well as two House members who were working on the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee. The report says the DOJ also asked the courts to help hide their actions. Little wonder the swampers are panicked about Patel taking charge of the FBI.

In other news, the FBI’s current director, Christopher Wray, has announced he will be resigning as of Inauguration Day.

GOOGLE AD: CLICK https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1866831055619232211 [:24] to see yet another reason to switch to Duck Duck Go.

CLICK https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1867216539713212823 [:34] to see him there, flanked by his family and political allies, with photos of his face on TIME on the wall behind him. The photo above is courtesy of a relative of a relative who was there.

SAN DIEGO: In a 3-1 vote, the County Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution declaring San Diego County a “super sanctuary” for illegal aliens. CLICK https://x.com/jim_desmond/status/1866611711022862592 [3:15] to hear details from the one guy who voted No. Check out the chick to his right who does not want to listen to him. One commenter noted this is merely a resolution and that the county sheriff plans to ignore it.

TRUMP: President-elect Trump has been named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. He also had that honor in 2016. Wokies are shrieking as per usual.

UK: The Brits have joined the smart nations in banning puberty blockers for minors with gender dysphoria, because they pose “an unacceptable safety risk.” Sadly, in the U.S., a number of courts have blocked state legislation aimed at protecting minors from the trans mind virus. Please pray with me that the U.S. Supreme Court will side with sanity in United States v. Skrmetti.

USPS: CLICK https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1866612617131049181 [:51] to see the current Postmaster General behave like a toddler at a congressional oversight hearing. Under his leadership, the USPS lost $10 billion in 2024.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, I pray for your healing power for ourselves, our friends, and our families today. Touch our bodies and relieve areas of illness or pain. Give us and our healthcare providers and caregivers the wisdom and knowledge they need to do Your will in our lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2024: Some of the races for seats in 119th Congress’ House of Representatives were so close, they had to have recounts. They finally concluded on Dec. 4, nearly one month after Election Day. Final tally … Republicans will have a slim majority of just three seats.

CANADA: Saskatchewan is the first Canadian province to officially declare December as Christian Heritage Month and Calgary, Alberta’s largest city, will do the same. British Columbia refused, saying that, despite the fact that other faiths get entire months of their own, Christians should be satisfied with Christmas.

DEA: Trump nominated Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff Chad Chronister to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. A torrent of conservative opposition over his COVID record ensued. The most famous issue was his arrest of a pastor for hosting church services in March 2020. Chronister has withdrawn his name.

DEI: Following a federal civil rights complaint by America First Legal (AFL), Southwest Airlines has canceled all of its DEI employment practices.

DOJ: In response to her refusal to comply with a FOIA request from Judicial Watch, District Attorney Fani Willis has declared her in default and ordered her to release all communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the January 6th Committee within five days. These documents could show there was coordinated (and illegal) effort to take out the leading Republican presidential nominee and chief rival of the current Democratic administration.

CLICK https://x.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1798001885611184179 [1:18] to hear Merrick Garland refuses to say whether his office had coordinated with Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Letitia James.

MILITARY: Please, Lord, support him through to a successful confirmation! Amen.

NASA: Trump’s choice to head up NASA is SpaceX’s Jared Isaacman. Isaacman is an actual astronaut who completed the first private spacewalk and commanded Inspiration4, a private spaceflight using @SpaceX‘s Crew Dragon. Also, earlier this year he completed the first private spacewalk.

NOTRE DAME: President Donald Trump has announced he will attend the grand reopening of Notre Dame de Paris this coming weekend. Pope Francis will not.

POMPEII: This road is more than 2,000 years old. It was buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Those small white stones meticulously embedded into the pavement helped keep the streets safe for night travelers by reflecting available light. Ingenious!

S&G: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-oNqopFT6AM for a good laugh.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, I come before You, acknowledging the times when I have allowed fear to dictate my actions and decisions. I ask for Your forgiveness and the courage to step out in faith, trusting in Your guidance and provision. Help me to release the grip of fear and embrace the abundant life You have prepared for me. Grant me the confidence to pursue Your will for my life, knowing that You are with me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

APPLE: [1:50] – Benny Johnson said on his podcast that this ad and the one by Volvo below are evidence that we have won the cultural war. I pray it is so. But Satan isn’t going to pack up and leave the country, so keep on praying.

BORDER: [2:41] – I’d say “unbelievable” except it’s Biden’s America. Thank You, God, it won’t be so for much longer!!

JAGUAR: CLICK https://x.com/Jaguar/status/1858800846646948155 [:30] to see the Jaguar ad that is so awful, it cost them 10% of their market share. As for blaming the customers … did they learn nothing from Bud Lite?

JOE ROGAN: The most popular podcaster in the world made a good argument that this election was the first in history where the elites did not control the media. When asked why this is, Rogan replied, “Because of us, because of podcasts. Because of social media, because of X.”

When Elon Musk heard that MSNBC might be for sale, he asked, “How much is it?” Joe Rogan tweeted, “If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow’s job,”

KAMALA: ITA. It’s similar to why I believe in weddings, not elopement. If a couple can’t get through planning a ceremony and a party for their relatives and friends, then they are not ready for marriage.

MINNESOTA: Democrats suck. CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1861848407582654967 [1:05] to hear about how they tried to cheat their way into a state house majority. The investigation has shown that the 21 missing mail-in ballots were likely disposed of. Let me guess which party they were for …

WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT: A report by the American Principles Project (APP), says nearly 70% of Biden’s Department of Education’s (ED) enforcement actions targeted private Christian colleges and trade schools. These institutions serve only 10% of the post-secondary student population in the U.S.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, please give me all the physical, emotional, and mental strength I will need to persevere through today’s difficulties. And grant me too the spiritual strength I will need to trust in Your power, goodness, and love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BORDER: [8:03] – Within days of Trump telling Mexico to protect our southern border or else, the Mexican president assured him that migrant caravans are no longer heading our way. I heard a news anchor refer to him as “the president” … cuz he kinda already is.

BOSTON: On November 18, Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu announced her sanctuary city will not cooperate with the looming mass deportation operation from the incoming Trump administration. On November 19, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, pointed out that it’s a felony to harbor illegal aliens and that he’d be happy to arrest her and anybody else who hinders ICE. On November 20, Mayo Wu said, “My comments have never been directed towards the federal government or anyone except for our own community members.” Point. Set. Match.

Tom Homan’s strong statements represent more of Trump’s “peace through strength” at work. Homan has the perfect temperament for this battle.

DEATH THREATS: [6:08] – The FBI says it is aware of swatting incidents and bomb threats targeting Trump nominees and appointees. “We are working with our law enforcement partners,” the FBI’s statement said. “We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.”

FAUCI: Since Tony Fauci retired, taxpayers have shelled out millions providing U.S. marshals to guard him, a private chauffeur to tote him here and there, law enforcement equipment, and more. His salary and pension were and continue to be upwards of $400,000 per year. (What happened to retiring at half pay?) The worst of it all is that not only is his net worth $12.5 million, but also that it increased by a whopping $5 million between the years 2019 and 2021. You remember those years, right? When the rest of us were locked in our homes, anxiously watching our savings and pantries empty out? Tony Fauci is a private citizen. Let him pay his own bills.

IRS: They want Congress to write them a $20 billion check. Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted: “Thousands of IRS employees & contractors literally *aren’t paying their own taxes.* @SenJoniErnst audited the IRS & found they owed nearly $50 million. The government-wide number of employee unpaid taxes is over $1.5 billion. The hypocrisy is insane.”

MENTAL HEALTH: TDS [3:46] – A practicing therapist has an interesting article at American Mind (linked below). An excerpt to whet your appetite: “I speak from some experience, having spent multiple hours per day over the past few weeks hearing from clients about the damage inflicted upon their psyches ‘by the Trump win.’ This is their account of things. My own opinion, however, is that someone has subjected these kids to psychic trauma. But it wasn’t Donald Trump. …

“Of course, we will laugh at the libs of TikTok shaving their heads and screaming in their cars. … But we should not laugh at those who break their sobriety, or plunge into isolation because of the Trump victory. They are truly sick, and ideological bad actors have preyed off their desperation for personal clout, terrorizing them with confected fears and then discarding them to suffer the psychological consequences.

“There’s a mental health crisis in this country—on this we can all agree. But the peddlers of Trump Derangement Syndrome don’t seem to care that their cynical, apocalyptic politics bear no small part of the blame.”

MISSION: Cal Zastrow spent Thanksgiving in prison as part of a six-month prison sentence over a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021. He was convicted by the Biden DOJ earlier this year for violating the FACE Act by praying, singing hymns, and sitting in front of the door to the entrance of an abortion facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. He says he is “on a big mission trip here,” keeping busy praying, reading his Bible, and teaching his fellow inmates about Christianity. “This prison holds almost 2,300 men and their need to hear about Jesus, their need for that is greater than my need for liberty. And so I’m here on a DOJ-sponsored mission trip.”

THANKSGIVING: This is what Dearest and I prayed for on Wednesday night. ❤

TOLERANCE: CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1861174417679593753 to see what one of the disappointed wokies cooked up for her MAGA relatives. These people need prayer.

VATICAN MAIL: [6:30] – This is really interesting! I have some wonderful Vatican stamps in my collection. 🙂

VAXXXINES: CLICK https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1861189891985678696 [12:15] to hear an undercover video of an NIH division head admit that the ‘rona jabs weren’t properly tested and probably aren’t safe, that he personally doesn’t get the jab, that ‘rona mandate requirements were based on fake science, and that Fauci and NAIAD probably funded the Wuhan research. He seems like a good-hearted guy. I feel for people like him who work for corruptocrats.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, I pray for your help in being productive today. I ask that you would give me the motivation and energy I need to tackle my tasks and responsibilities. I pray that I would be able to work efficiently and effectively, and that I would be able to accomplish all that I set out to do. I trust in your provision and guidance, and I pray that I would be able to use my time and resources wisely today. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://x.com/9mm_smg/status/1861161108918206853 [1:17] to see a worthy candidate for a Darwin award. Police responded to a 911 call saying a man had broken their car’s windshield and was going after one of them with an ax. The cop told him 22 times to put the ax down. Later video shows them doing first aid and getting the guy an ambulance. The guy, who was drunk, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of vandalism. Fortunately, he’s white, so the leftist outrage machine won’t bother ruining this good cop’s life.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1861285451593900400 [1:16] to hear what Tom Homan says about Denver’s mayor saying he is willing to go to jail to stop the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens in his city.

CLIMATE: CLICK https://x.com/DrewHLive/status/1861526050049765853 [1:03] to hear John Kerry act like he is still relevant. “We need to declare a global emergency … to make people behave.” Never ever forget it’s all a big hoax designed to force us to comply. As Drunk Auntie Kammie says below, “Never let anyone shteal your power.”

FANI WILLIS: Fani Willis has received a letter from the United States Senate accusing her of spending $2.5 million in federal grants on herself. The money was allocated for a Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention Center and a Sexual Assault Kit Initiative. You can see the letter at Senator Grassley site, linked below.

J6: [10:49] – Finally some GOOD news!! I apologize for not reporting on this travesty more regularly, but it upset me so much, I couldn’t even read the news reports.

KAMALA: CLICK https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1861574843734622401 [9:49] to see VFAUXTUS, fresh from her post-loss Hawaiian vacay.

If you haven’t got the stomach to listen to her for ten whole minutes, CLICK https://x.com/BuckSexton/status/1861625997692428536 [:29] to get a sampling of her give totally sober life advice to her disappointed followers. (N.b., it’s even funnier played at half speed.) My favorite comment: “Every drunk girl has had this same conversation with a stranger in a bathroom.”

CLICK https://x.com/tomselliott/status/1861747335232999577 [:46] to hear her brag about how much of her supporters’ money she wasted on her “people powered campaign.” This begs the question of why Trump got more total votes after spending a lot less money.

LAWFARE: Trump tweeted, “These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before. They have also used State Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on “GETTING TRUMP” in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party. It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

LIFE: An international team of astronomers has discovered phosphine in one of the planet’s cloud layers. Scientists say this can only be explained by the presence of microbial life.

MARYLAND: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1861421757678100862 [1:15] to hear about how the mayor of Frederick pledge include money in his budget for to pay undocumented immigrants’ attorney fees. Citizens of Frederick are underwhelmed. “Taxpayer money should be going towards infrastructure and the basic needs of the community. This is not a basic need of a community of Frederick.”

MIDDLE EAST: As of 4 a.m. local time today, Israel and Hezbollah are no longer shooting at each other.

S&G: The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal is forcing the township of Emo and its mayor to compensate an LGBTQ activist group $10,000 for refusing to “Pride Month” in 2020. The mayor has to cough up half from his own finances.

And, to further humiliate, the tribunal ordered the mayor and the chief administrative officer of the township to enroll and complete a Human Rights 101 indoctrination course from the Ontario Human Rights Commission within the next month.

Inquiring minds wish to know which of the 12 months is designated for celebrating heterosexuality. And, do we even have a flag? Come on, cis Canadians! Rise up and demand your equal rights under this looney tunes government!

WASTE: The Biden administration awarded a $400,000 grant to Drexel University “to perform ‘quantitative’ interviews with 30 transgender men” in India’s two largest cities, Delhi and Mumbai. The researchers found the men tend to be depressed and recommended their government pay for hormone therapy and sex change surgeries. In India.

2A: A new poll by Gallup shows that 33% of Republican women own guns, compared to just 29% of Democratic men.

BORDER: The CBS/YouGov poll somehow managed to get both the 73% number above and this one … in the same poll. “Would you approve or disapprove of Donald Trump starting a national program to find and deport all immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally?”

Approve ……………………………………………………………………..57%

Disapprove …………………………………………………………………..43%

It begs one to wonder how they weighted the results to get 16% who said Trump should make something his #2 priority that they disapprove of him doing at all!

CALIFORNICATION: “Democrats have taken the most beautiful, resource-filled, and richest state and turned it into a poorly run welfare state,” writes Commodore Vanderbilt at Not The Bee. Between January 2022 and June 2024, California businesses added 5,400 new jobs, less than 1% of the national total for that 30 month period. California’s population is about 11-12% of the total for the country.

CDC: Trump picked pro-life former Congressman David Weldon to lead the Centers for Disease Control. Dr. David Weldon is a former Florida congressman, Army veteran, and medical doctor. Weldon’s accomplishments in Congress include the still-in-force Weldon Amendment. It prohibits local, state, and federal entities from requiring health insurance plans to cover abortion if they receive taxpayer dollars.

CNN: CLICK https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1861283009124577653 [:19] to hear what inspired the tweet above. The report in the graphic aired the day before the tiff in the clip.

During the week of November 11-17, the Hallmark Channel beat out both MSNBC and CNN for primetime and total-day cable viewership. A well deserved result.

People who say, “You can not say that” are the real threat to democracy.

DEI: Somebody leaked news that Bloomberg and the New York Times both killed stories about a study that shows certain DEI practices increase hostility, authoritarian tendencies, and agreement with extreme rhetoric.

In better news, Walmart is ending their woke policies. The #1 employer in America, with over 1.6 million employees and they have a market cap of nearly $800B, has decided to totally discontinue the use of DEI and LatinX as terms in official communication, discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute, end preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity, identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children, avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids.

EVs: In 2021, the Biden Administration invested $7.5 billion in building electric vehicle charging stations around the country. Their goal was to build 500,000 stations by 2030. They’ve built 8. CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1860801189182394566 [:40] to hear Biden’s Transpo Secretary, Mayor Pete Bootyjudge, talk like they’ve been doing a super duper job.

KUDLOW: [8:51, 11:32] – These are the most optimistic reports! Listen and grin!

LEFTIE LOGIC: I can’t even begin … just click and shake your head. Be sure to read the comments! Then, for a palate cleanser, check out the second link! It’s beautiful!

MILITARY: A new report says that, as soon as Trump takes office, he will move to rid the military of its approximately 15,000 trans members as medically unfit to serve. I’ll say! I tried to sign up once, but was told the fact that I needed allergy shots twice a month made me ineligible. Trannies have to have regular doses of their medications and often suffer from ongoing health problems as a result of those medications and/or surgeries they may have had.

NPR: ITA. This has been bugging me for decades!

UK: Under new guidance issued by the British Transport Police (BTP), transgender police officers can strip-search women. Not The Bee says, “Normally, if a male police officer were to conduct a strip-search of a female suspect, it would be considered sexual assault. But put a dress on that man and give him a Gender-Recognition Certificate (GRC), and it’s A-OK!”

VAXXXINE: The results of the largest COVID-19 vaccine autopsy study to date was rejected twice by peer-reviewed journals. It has finally been published. The authors say their results provide “robust evidence that COVID-19 vaccines can cause death. This means that the FDA’s [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] criteria for a Class I recall have been fulfilled, warranting an immediate market withdrawal.”
