DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill us with Your spirit of truth so that we may discern rightly when to say, “Yes, Lord”, and when to say “Get behind me, Satan.” In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CANADA: Trudeau’s temper tantrum cooled quickly. Like Mexico’s president, he has agreed to send 10,000 troops to the border in exchange for a one month pause in Trump’s tariffs. Canada has also agreed to appoint a “fentanyl czar,” invest $139 million (C$200 million) in intelligence operations targeting fentanyl, designate cartels as terrorist organizations, and establish a partnership with the U.S. Joint Strike Force to fight fentanyl trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: Bobby has passed the first hurdle, with the Senate Finance Committee having voted 14-13 in favor of his confirmation. Now, he goes to the full Senate. I wonder if Bernie Sanders will bring up those onesies again …

LANDFILLHARMONIC: [3:31] – Wow!

SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to submit a plan for creating a sovereign wealth fund within 90 days. The plan should include recommendations on “funding mechanisms, investment strategies, fund structure, and a governance model.”

A sovereign wealth fund would allow the United States government to invest money in real financial assets to build wealth the same way you can in your own private investments. Multiple US States have similar plans, along with dozens of countries including China, Russia, UAE, Norway, Italy, and Mexico.

Commodore Vanderbilt at Not The Bee explains, “This is an enormous change in how tax money (especially tariffs) are spent in the United States. Right now, the government forces its own citizens, on penalty of jail, to pay a significant portion of their income so that the government can spend it. The government then spends the money on wild projects in foreign countries that enrich politicians … while driving up the national debt annually.

“This order shifts everything from that Sheriff-of-Nottingham model to one that gets money from imports and then invests that money so it can strategically fund projects in the national interest. Americans will still pay taxes in the form of higher prices at the store, but the federal government’s revenue will be based on trade and invested for future use.”

USAID: Elon Musk said DOGE focused on USAID, because it was the government agency most disobedient to Trump’s executive orders. USAID only exists because of an executive order.

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6gm7rs-trump-press-sec-walks-right-up-to-media-and-drops-a-bomb-on-usaid.html [:50] to hear Trump press secretary read some of the crap this agency has been spending our money on. Under President Joe Biden’s administration, the organization spent tens of millions to promote abortion in Africa.

SecState Marco Rubio is now acting head of USAID. He promises a program-by-program review of which projects make “America safer, stronger, or more prosperous.”

Trump’s Agenda

I saw this on Facebook; it went viral.

In the interest of pointing out misinformation: In Dec 2023 there was a decision by the World Court, that gave water above land shelves to those countries and ruled they were not international water. The renaming of the Gulf of America isn’t renaming the whole gulf. It is renaming the area above our land shelves as our territory. You can’t exactly put signs or border walls in the middle of the ocean. So for legal reasons, we need to identify these new changes on the map, so that new borders are made clear to maritime traffic. Those new maps will set the latitude and longitudes of where our border begins, or the Gulf of America. So all maritime traffic knows when they are leaving international waters. This is where knowing what is happening in the world, will help you filter out drama, and help you understand the legalities in your own country. This had nothing to do with Trump’s ego, he is strengthening our borders and making sure all maritime traffic understands the changes that happened in 2023. Putting legal protections in place to help us enforce any military actions or incursion in the future. Betting most of you never realized the US grew by thousands of miles.

Likewise some of this radical idea of buying Greenland and possibly Canada. has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the Arctic Ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help Europe protect their borders from the Russian and Chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If Greenland is the territory of the US, but still their own country like Puerto Rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around Greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help Europe it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for Nato action to do anything. If we have the legal right, to be there. Legal right to protect Greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war. It makes it easier to help our Allies. Also, like as not, Russia and China have been making plans to invade Greenland. I have been hearing they are trying to buy up land around harbors in several countries or eyeing what they can take by force.

So Trump is not crazy. Not being an egotistical dictator. He is trying to strengthen the U.S. and working to provide some checks and balances that strengthen our ability to help Allies and prevent another world war. A lot of countries are getting we are the lesser of the two evils. Media not so much, they have grown allergic to fact-checking, and understanding any complex issue and just become about stirring drama rather than reporting facts, all of the facts.

DAILY PRAYER: Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver us from every disease of the throat, and from every other illness. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AIR: They’ve recovered the Flight Data Recorders (FDRs, black boxes) from the passenger jet that collided with a military helicopter over Washington at 9 pm on Jan. 29 under clear skies.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials said the jet’s altimeter showed the collision occurred at 325 feet. The control tower’s records show the helicopter was at 200 feet at that time.

They’re still looking for the helicopter’s FDRs, which are not black, but orange. From Wikipedia: “A flight recorder is an electronic recording device placed in an aircraft for the purpose of facilitating the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents. The device may often be referred to colloquially as a “black box”, an outdated name which has become a misnomer—they are now required to be painted bright orange, to aid in their recovery after accidents.”

CANADA: Trump imposed tariffs on our “good neighbor” for allowing illegal immigrants and illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, to enter the U.S. Rather than fix the problem, Canada is imposing its own tariffs. Note to Canada … there’s nothing on your list that we can’t make for ourselves.

DEI: [18:05] – IDK the laws now, but at one time in California, employers had to match the ethnic percentages of their local area in each department, report on said statistics, while simultaneously being forbidden to ask employees about their ethnicities.

NEW YORK: New York Democratic lawmakers are working to keep Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s House seat vacant until the summer. “Tammany Hall corruption is alive and well in the state capital,” said Republican New York Assemblyman Matt Slater. 

PANAMA: President Donald Trump does not like the fact that Panama has ceded control over the canal we built to Beijing, which charges us huge fees to use it. House Republicans introduced a bill for the United States to repurchase the Panama Canal and SecState Marco Rubio went to visit our wayward daughter after which President José Raúl Mulino announced he would not renew the Chinese contracts.

S&G: French gynecologist, Dr. Victor Acharian, has been barred from practicing for a month because he refused to examine a transgender patient on the grounds that he was only qualified to treat “real women.”

USAID: President Trump says the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) “has been run by a bunch of radical lunatics.” Elon Musk wrote on X – “It’s beyond repair. He agreed we should shut it down. We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to remember to be kind and patient with the people who annoy us and to see all the beauty we too often pass by. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS: [9:34] – FAA air traffic controllers get trained at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma. OK’s Senator Mullin said classes have only been 70% to 80% full, not for a lack of applicants, but because they had to turn away people who didn’t fill their mandated DEI slots. That should no longer be a problem, now that Trump has abolished DEI in all federal agencies.

ANTI-SEMITISM: On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to identify “all civil and criminal authorities” available to combat antisemitism. In particular, the order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that sparked the invasion of Gaza.

BOBBY vs BERNIE: CLICK https://x.com/TPostMillennial/status/1885031674380955708 [2:28] to see another exchange from RFK Jr’s confirmation hearing.

CLUELESS: [7:40] – Every single candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee responded with an eager YES to the idea that “racism and misogyny” played a role in Kamala Harris’ loss.

They elected Ken Martin, the longtime leader of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), as chair, and anti-gun activist, David Hogg, as vice chair. In his victory speech, Martin pledged to prioritize working-class voters, bolster Democratic infrastructure, unify the party, and oppose Trump and his agenda. It’s not clear to me how they can prioritize working-class voters while simultaneously opposing Trump and his agenda.

Hogg claims he can bring back the youth vote; in his speech, he said, “I don’t just tweet; I don’t just talk the talk. I also walk the talk and I knock the knock.” CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1885907309462790376 [:56] to hear a Chinese immigrant destroy Hogg’s famed anti-gun stance in under one minute.

COME TO WORK or RESIGN: Ninety-four percent of federal workers refused to return to work after the pandemic. DOGE had all their passwords changed so they can no longer work from home.

DEMO-PERVS: Another party official has been arrested and charged with possessing child porn and child sex abuse material. Matthew Inman, who served as Orange County’s Democratic Party treasurer and president of the Rainbow Democrats, began talking online with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as the father of a 9-year-old boy. Inman expressed interest in meeting and sexually assaulting the purported child. He also sent CSAM videos to the undercover officer. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

DOGE: Elon Musk tweeted, “Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of ~$4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30. That would still result in a ~$1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026. Super big deal.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We come to You today asking for extra graces to rebuke, renounce, and reject the constant calls to consumerism with which our culture bombards us. Keep our eyes on You, not on our stuff! In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray. Amen.

AIR: Yesterday, The New York Times reported that the air control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was grossly understaffed at the time of the deadly helicopter-airplane crash. The FAA and the controllers’ union call for 30 staff in that tower; there were 19.

A lawsuit filed by nearly 1,000 individuals who went to school to become air traffic controllers says they met the requirements for become air traffic controllers, but that they were bounced from the program for being too white.

Way back on June 3, 2015, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled “The Obama administration forces the Federal Aviation Administration to move away from merit-based hiring criteria.”

Twenty-freaking-FIFTEEN! It’s a wonder more people have not died!

I suggest you give the article a pass if you have high blood pressure. I read part of it and had to stop.

BOOTYJUDGE: Under Mayor Pete, the Department of Transportation extended its DEI/Affirmative Action push skin color and sexual perversions to include actively recruiting and hiring disabled people with hearing and/or vision impairment, missing extremities, partial to complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism. According to Pete et al., “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.”

CONFIRMATION HEARINGS: It astonishes me the stupid things Democrat senators have used their precious minutes for during these hearings. I suspect they engage in bugged-eyed yelling to hide from their low-IQ voters that their questions actually have little to no substance.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIsKrv_EnMg to hear a good exchange between RFK Jr and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

DEMOCRATS: Oy.

DEPRAVITY: Some people will do anything for clicks. Thankfully, police acted quickly to arrest a Georgia healthcare worker who posted disgusting videos of herself twerking over a disabled man’s head. She has been charged with one count of exploitation of a disabled person. You can see the video at the link. I suggest you don’t.

EDUCATION: There are many kinds of intelligence. I was born across the street from an Ivy League university and have lived my entire 70 years within spitting distance of it and multiple other colleges. The main shortcoming I have noticed in the highly educated is a lack of common sense.

LIFE: [14:58] – Kayleigh McEnany interviewed some of the anti-abortion activists who were imprisoned for peaceful protests at abortion clinics.

S&G: Trump has signed an executive order promising to prosecute teachers and schools that facilitate, affirm, and/or reinforce gender confusion in minors.

SAY NO TO PRIDE MONTH: Pride is not merely one of the seven. It is the queen. St. Gregory the Great warns us: “For when pride, the queen of sins, has fully possessed a conquered heart, she surrenders it immediately to seven principal sins, as if to some of her generals, to lay it waste” (Moralia 87). The other six deadly sins – greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth – are all offshoots of pride’s “poisonous root.”

TARIFFS: Yesterday, Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China that begin today. China manufactures fentanyl and Mexico and Canada are doing nothing to stop it from flowing across our mutual borders where it kills Americans every year. Trump said, “We’re not looking for a concession. We’ll just see what happens.”

ZUCK: He caved to pressure from the Biden White House and now he’s paying the price. Meta has agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit over suspending his social media accounts following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, will pay $22 million to a fund for Trump’s presidential library and an addition $3 million toward covering legal expenses and compensating additional plaintiffs involved with the case.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you today for the graces we need to let You shine through us. May we be Jesus with skin on to those who do not know You. In His Holy Name, we pray. Amen.

AI: [2:51] – The image of the beast?

BORDER: Since Trump took office, Border Patrol agents’ encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border have dropped by 92.9%. In the last 19 days of the Biden administration, they averaged 2,087 daily encounters. In the first week of President Trump’s administration, that number was just 148.

CONFIRMATION HEARINGS: An interesting compare and contrast –

CLICK https://rumble.com/v4vtbab-senator-kennedy-absolutely-destroys-fdic-chairman-martin-gruenberg.html [6:48] to watch a clip from May 15-16, 2024, as Sen. Kennedy quietly and persistently challenged the fitness of FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg with damning fact after damning fact.

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6eq8p7-rfk-jr.-makes-sen.-elizabeth-warren-melt-down-at-hearing-no-i-am-not.html [:27] to hear Sen. Warren yell at RFK Jr. for refusing to make an absurd promise. FYI: She was trying to equate suing a company after serving in government with accepting a lucrative position with one after serving in government. As Sen. Kennedy would say, “She’s so dumb, she loses her place in the middle of sex.”

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6es89g-sanders-anti-onesie-bernie-demands-that-rfk-condemn-anti-vax-baby-onesie.html [1:47] to hear Sen. Sanders yell and get all wide-eyed about the message on a baby’s onesie that an organization RKF Jr. founded sells. RKF Jr. no longer has any connection to the organization.

CORRUPTOCRAT: Former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling out his office for gold bars and other bribes.

EDUCATION: Comparing the 2024 NAEP Reading and Mathematics Assessments at Grades 4 and 8 with those from the latest pre-pandemic test results showed average scores in fourth grade reading were five points lower, while those for eighth grade reading were five points lower. Similarly, average scores in fourth grade math were three points lower, while for eighth grade, they were eight points lower.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that mandated the defunding of any K-12 school that teaches radical, anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight. Maybe, if CRT and DEI and LGBTQ are removed from the school day, teachers will have time to focus on reading and math again.

HAITI: Haiti’s de facto President Leslie Voltaire once assured us that the Haitian “migrants” pouring over our border were “their best.” Now that Trump is rounding them up and planning to return them, Voltaire says that taking back their alleged “best” would be “catastrophic” for his nation, to the point where he’s already asking for help from other countries … which confirms what Trump has been saying all along.

HAMAS: I don’t know why anyone defends this vile group. CLICK https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1884950364639642100/video/1 [:41] to see what hostage Gadi Moses (80) had to endure during his last moments as a hostage in Gaza. Moses reportedly collapsed after this was filmed. Because of these spectacles, Israel has halted its release of convicted Hamas terrorists.

CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1884991236890599799 [:22] to hear Patel tell Sen. Durbin he’s an idiot. Does Durbin demand a background check before agreeing to have his picture taken with someone?

GANGSTA: Whoa. It’s not 2017 any more!

RFK Jr: [5:29] – Personally, I think Rand Paul’s opinions about science count more than those of his career politician colleagues. He not only is a licensed medical doctor, but also the last I heard he still practices medicine when he’s on vacation from Congress.

DAILY PRAYER: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

AIR: Last night, a passenger plane carrying 64 people and a military helicopter collided near Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C. They have recovered 27 bodies so far and do not believe anyone survived.

BORDER: POTUS is directing the Pentagon to prepare a facility at Guantanamo Bay to house up to 30,000 illegal thugs. “Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back. … [Guantanamo’s] a tough place to get out of.”

CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1884361014466253059 [2:35] to hear a Trump official take a leftie jerknalist to the shed for a whupping.

CALI WATER: As the LA fires burned, Trump accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom of refusing to sign legislation that would have “allowed millions of gallons of water … to flow daily” into areas of California including its southern parts. Less than 72 hours after Trump stepped, the flow of fresh water from norther CA to southern has more than doubled.

CATHOLIC: Catholic Charities has been active in promoting Biden’s open border agenda. But Catholic social teaching asserts that: 

  1. The civil authority’s primary duty is to the common good of its own people, who form the “household of the nation.” 
  2. Hospitality towards migrants must be guided by prudence and ordered to justice, not by abstract ideals divorced from reality. 
  3. Unchecked immigration can undermine civil society, exploit both native workers and migrants, and serve the interests of global capitalism at the expense of the common good. 

CONFIRMATION HEARING: Yesterday, Bobby appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance. The Big Pharma politicians were easy to spot.

CLICK https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1884626268387217756 [1:04] to hear a Democrat ask a dishonest question. CLICK https://truthsocial.com/@OAN/posts/113913646413958829 [:47] to hear another Democrat ask another unserious question.

Some of them got really nasty. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, said, “Mr. Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. It has been lucrative for him, put him on the verge of immense power.”

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) asked, “When was it that you decided to sell out the values you’ve had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?”

Kennedy will appear at another hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions today, but only Finance gets to vote on whether to advance him to a full Senate floor vote.

LAKEN RILEY ACT: POTUS signed this GOP-led bill into law, his first legislation since taking office Jan. 20.

SELLING BABY BODY PARTS: As I’ve reported many times before, David Daleiden and his Center for Medical Progress famously exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal trade in human organs. CLICK https://x.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1872835273647898720 [:18] to see one clip.

Daleiden also exposed that PP was not reporting rapes, as law requires. Rather than go after the perpetrators, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris filed charges against Daleiden and his colleagues.

FINALLY, after a decade, California has dropped the case!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please show us our sins as You see them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORDER: Unlike her predecessor, Trump’s Homeland Secretary had her boots on the ground.

In other news, two Colombian military planes picked up 200 illegals and took them home. And now, CLICK https://x.com/Tr00peRR/status/1884259058632516056 [1:51] to listen to Tom Homan show us how to handle hostile jerknalists.

BUDGET: In its efforts to be good stewards of our money, the Trump administration has frozen all federal loans, grants, and other financial assistance until they can be assessed. These do NOT include Medicare or Social Security benefits. A federal judge ordered the administration to refrain from blocking “open awards,” or funds that had been slated for disbursement, until at least Feb. 3, so the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent out memos rescinding the freeze order.

CONFIRMED: [6:48] – Former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy has been confirmed to replace Mayor Pete as Secretary of Transportation.

DRONES: As promised, Trump has looked into the spate of mystery drones first seen over New Jersey late last year. Most were authorized to be flown by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for research and various other reasons. The rest were flown by hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. The latter increased due to curiosity. “This was not the enemy.”

EFF YOU: A week before he left office, Slow Joe extended his welcome to 800,000 “refugees” (including gang members). Today, Trump rescinded it.

LAWFARE: Trump’s Acting Attorney General has fired more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump. This was about draining the swamp, not getting revenge.

LEAVE PLEASE: In his effort to reduce our bloated federal government, Trump is offering resignation incentives to nearly all federal employees. If they resign before Feb. 6, they can continue to get a paycheck until September.

LEFTY LOONIES: [11:32] – Actually, nothing about the illegal aliens Homan is rounding up are her people. Selena Gomez was born in the U.S. to a U.S. citizen of Italian descent and a legal immigrant from Mexico. She had limited contact with her father and does not speak Spanish. One supposes she is also not a murderer, rapist, or child molester. And I’m pretty sure none of the thugs being rounded up are wealthy celebrities.

MILITARY: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1cF5YMmK5So to see a command board being updated.

PROTECTING CHILDREN: Trump has signed an executive order ending Biden-era funding for so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for individuals under 19 years old. We will no longer “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ’transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

STATE DEPT: On Sunday, SecState Rubio paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavit announced two programs to cut immediately. One is the $37 million we were about to be sent to the WHO; it’s not needed since Trump’s executive order broke ties with them. The other is the $50 million taxpayer dollars we’ve spent on condoms for Gaza via Planned Parenthood, scores of which were used to create IED-carrying balloons that winds carried into southern Israel.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM: In light of the public’s vastly decreased trust in and use of legacy media, the Trump administration will be allowing independent journalists and content creators to apply for press passes to media events. In addition, a seat previously reserved for the press secretary’s staff will now be used to seat new journalists who may have never been inside the historic James Brady briefing room.

CALIFORNICATION: Back to the early 2000s. California’s Central Valley grew 25% of our national agricultural output. Then, enviro-whackos decided the Delta Smelt was more important than hungry Americans and forced California to stop pumping fresh water from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers to the Central Valley and further south.

For seventeen years, the Democrats in California did nothing to save the farms or stop Southern California’s reservoirs (and the fire hydrants they serviced) from being drained dry. Yesterday, Day Eight of the new administration, The Donald fixed it.

As SoCal was burning, Gavin’s sanctuary state legislature held a special session to divert money from their budget to pay for legal support for the child molesting, raping, murdering, gang banging illegals that Tom Homan is rounding up. They’re also thinking it would be a super duper good idea to force oil companies to pay for the damage the fires have done.

CNN: During the first Donald Trump administration, Jim Acosta occupied one of the prime, front row seats in the White House briefing room, where he became famous for his whining and anti-Trump grandstanding. More recently, he’s hosted the network’s 10 am slot. Despite getting good viewer numbers, which doesn’t mean that much at CNN these days, the failing network has offered the jerknalist hack the midnight to 2 am slot or the door.

CONFIRMED: Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Scott Bessent’s nomination for Treasury secretary in a 68–29 vote. The billionaire investor will be spearheading Trump’s plan of cutting taxes and curbing deficits, while putting forward a tariff plan that also facilitates growth.

EL SALVADOR: Trump can alpha male nations like Colombia with tariffs, but that won’t work with a nation like Venezuela. His solution is to broker a “Safe Third Country” agreement with El Salvador’s President Bukele. The agreement would empower U.S. immigration officials to deport non-Salvadoran migrants to El Salvador. If they’re good people, they can settle in the now-peaceful country. But if they’re criminals, terrorists, or gang members, they can join the thugs in one of the country’s infamous prisons. CLICK https://x.com/CNN/status/1857168610852000247 [9:37] to see what awaits.

FAKE NEWS: New York Magazine cropped three black people from the photo they used for their inauguration cover. Then, they claimed it was an all-white event.

FEDS: After the pandemic ended, Biden authorized federal employees to continue working from home. As of last year, only 6% of them were actually coming into their offices and doing their jobs. The rest were drawing their salaries and doing … whatever. Trump has ordered them back to work. The ordered, which he signed on Friday, says, “Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary.”

LAB LEAK: The ‘rona opinion that once got you censored or worse is now the official U.S. government opinion. And it’s not because Trump declared it so. The FBI and CIA had both decided a Wuhan lab leak was the most likely source while Biden was still in office. All that has changed is that this fact has now been made public.

LEFTIES LOSING IT: On Saturday, Lenawee County (MI) Democrat Party Chairman Bill Swift posted, “[Trump’s supporters] should be arrested, and they should be facing the death penalty. They should be hanged by the neck until dead. I believe this is one of the few areas of the law where I believe the death penalty should be imposed.”

And speaking of crazy-eyed Dems … Gov. Jackboots Whitmer’s leadership has cost her state another 45,000 jobs. This year’s Simplify LLC report put Michigan at #41 out of 50 in its list of best states for entrepreneurs. Last year, Michigan was #35.

MILITARY: On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for the “immediate” construction of an Iron Dome missile defense system to protect America from hostile outside threats. He also signed E.O.s directing his new Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, to get transgender ideology out of our military, to stop service members from being indoctrinated with CRT, and to offer reinstatement to service members who were booted for refusing the Fauci Ouchie.

POTUS APPROVAL: A new poll shows Trump with a +2 favorable rating in Deep Blue New Jersey. Forty-eight percent of the polls respondents said they had a favorable view of Trump, compared to 46% who did not. A further 6% of voters were neutral. In November, Trump got 46% of the vote compared to Kamala Harris’ 52%, a result that was actually closer than what we saw in the swing state of Arizona.

RFK Jr: A left-wing dark money group called Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is allowed to receive unlimited contributions from anonymous donors, is bankrolling “Stop RFK War Room”, which opposes Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. Their ads accuse him of spreading “deadly lies about vaccines.” When RFK Jr was running for president, the Sixteen Thirty Fund supported him via “Retire Career Politicians”, which bought ads saying he “isn’t afraid to tell the truth about vaccines.” One guess who the Sixteen Thirty Fund is really all about.

SANCTUARY CITIES: Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), has called on four mayors – Chicago’s Brandon Johnson, Boston’s Michelle Wu, New York City’s Eric Adams, and Denver’s Mike Johnston – to testify publicly at an oversight hearing on February 11, 2025. 

These sanctuary cities have refused to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and U.S. immigration laws. Comer said his goal is to determine whether further legislation is necessary to ensure that federal immigration law is enforced and that criminal aliens are swiftly removed from our communities.

STATE DEPARTMENT: Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued a directive ordering that “sex, and not gender, shall be used” on official documents. This means U.S. passports may no longer have “X” instead of “M” or “F.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I commandeered Dearest’s long-neglected Rolodex and bought new cards for it. I’m having such a good time creating daily blessings with them. ❤ (Photo: Our girls in 1986.)
