CALIFORNICATION: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/560270753518856 to hear a father speak to the school board about a “coming out” exercise they inflicted on his daughter.

DOJ: [17:50] – Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday that the DOJ is suing New York Attorney General Letitia James, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, and New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Commissioner Mark Schroeder for violating federal immigration laws. She told other states they would be next if they don’t wise up.

Not the Bee has video clips of speakers, including one in a purple wig, pearl necklace and white gloves who said he needs the city to protect him, because he is “afraid of Trump.” Then, he warned the city that, if the resolution didn’t pass, they should “prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.” Translation: “I will violently whup yo’ ass if you don’t pander to my neurotic delusion that I am a fragile female.”

MILITARY: The boards of visitors are typically split between presidential appointees and members appointed by Congress, usually lawmakers themselves. The Biden administration also removed top former Trump officials from the service academy boards in 2021.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you today for the graces we need to trust You totally. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORDER: Reinforcing our border wall makes illegal crossings more difficult.

DOGE: When Biden was killing off real jobs in the energy sector, Dems told coal miners to “learn to code.” Now that Trump is killing off cushy, overpaid “jobs” in government, Dems are treating it as a national emergency. I’m thinking if the IRS did a deep audit on each of the ones squealing the loudest, a bunch of those mission billions would turn up.

HATING GOD: It is what Nazism, Islam, and the Democratic Party all have in common.

OMB: DOGEism is catching on. Trump’s head of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, says he has scrutinized the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) budget and determined it is not “reasonably necessary” to continue funding it. “This spigot, long contributing to CFPB’s unaccountability, is now being turned off.” The CFPB is yet another government agency that has been funneling our tax dollars to progressive causes.

PRIORITIES: Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) says he and his fellow Democrats are open to shutting down the government in March if Trump’s recent actions to slim down the federal government are not halted. So … what they’re saying is that it’s okay to shut down the government, but not to slim down the government. Okay. I guess. ::smh::

RACE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BcdrjjMjnpA to hear one American who refuses to let black racists bully her. I love how calmly she sticks to her message.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A8TpI2aJHRI to hear Sen. Tim Scott lay a load of actual facts on The View. When he talks about the challenges America faces today, I thought, “People like Oprah and Sunny Hostin.”

SOT: I keep hearing TV anchors calling for us to watch SOT number something. I googled and found out that SOT stands for “sound on tape.” It refers to an audio-video recording.

TRUMP: While at the Super Bowl, Trump tweeted that he has decided to stop wasting money making pennies. It literally costs us two cents to manufacture every one cent coin!

WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT: Next question is … did SHE pay back those loans on time and with interest like Trump did?

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Three former University of Pennsylvania women’s swimmers – Grace Estabrook, Margot Kaczorowski and Ellen Holmquist – filed suit on Tuesday, alleging they suffered emotional trauma by having transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a teammate. They are calling for the Ivy League to expunge Thomas’ female swimming records.

“The UPenn administrators told the women that if anyone was struggling with accepting Thomas’ participation on the UPenn Women’s team, they had psychological problems and needed to see a counselor. They also say school officials warned them not to speak out against Thomas, lest they be branded as “transphobic” and damage future job prospects.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for the graces we need to fully commit to following You regardless of how hostile the culture may be. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: [18:31] – Tom Homan got to give a strong message to ABC viewers who can’t seem to understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VACkE29d-Qs to see Melania shut down MSNBC’s attempt to score a gotcha.

DOGE: People who are worried about Elon Musk having access to the Social Security numbers we have given to our banks, employers, car loan companies, mortgage holders, insurance providers, credit card companies, and the IRS. FYI, guys … Elon Musk doesn’t need your money.

JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS: On Thursday Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly decided she was the true elected leader of the United States and she blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing “any payment record or payment system of records maintained within the [Treasury] Bureau of Fiscal Service.”

Judge Kollar-Kotelly is the same vile leftist who sentence 75-year-old Paulette Harlow to two years in jail for her part in temporarily blockading the entrance to a late-term abortion clinic. When Paulette’s husband, John, begged the judge to reconsider, citing his wife’s health problems that made him fear that she might die in prison, the judge sneered and told him no because, according to her, 75-year-old Paulette’s protest had been “violent.” Harlow suffers from debilitating diabetes, Hashimoto’s disease, and severe back pain requiring the use of a wheelchair. To add insult to injury, Kollar-Kotelly forbade Harlow, a devout Catholic, from attending Mass while she was under house arrest awaiting trial.

Last week, other judicial activists told police to stand down and allowed hundreds of anti-ICE protesters to walk away scott free during and after they used their bodies to block traffic on a major LA freeway for hours.

MILITARY: CLICK https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1887892486003245297 [:48] to hear SecDef Pete promise to ensure that “at a bare minimum, by the end of four years, the Pentagon passes a clean audit.” S’funny how the Pentagon audience doesn’t seem too enthused this this idea.

PLASTIC STRAWS: Trump promised to end Biden’s ban on plastic straws in federal facilities.

POTUS: In 2021, Biden revoked Trump’s access to intelligence briefings, an entitlement that most former presidents enjoyed. Trump just returned the favor.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The percentage of Americans who believe athletes should only play on teams that match their birth gender increased from 62% in 2021 to 69% in 2023 to 79% in 2025.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, we ask you today to help women to choose life for the unborn children you have entrusted to them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BORDER: The border issue just hit close to home. – Tompkins County Sheriff Derek Osborne, a Democrat, ignored a federal arrest warrant and released Jesus Romero-Hernandez (27) into the Ithaca community. Romero-Hernandez has been removed from the U.S. six times and was most recently in Osborne’s court pleading guilty to assault.

The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office claims they notified ICE when the illegal was going to be released and, allegedly, “had every opportunity to come to the jail to obtain the individual in question without any need for a pursuit or other incident.” According to lawyers interviewed by Fox, the federal warrant obligated them to hold him until ICE arrived and took custody.

In other stupid news that affects me and mine … more than 100 anti-ICE protesters who blocked traffic on both sides of a major freeway in LA were released without consequences. No charges. No jail time.

CONFIRMATIONS: The Senate 54-46 to confirm former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted 9-8 to approve former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as the next director of national intelligence. Gabbard’s nomination will now head to the Senate floor for a full vote.

Remember back in October when billionaire and Dem shill, Mark Cuban, appeared on The View and said, “You never see [Trump] around strong, intelligent women, ever. It’s very simple; they’re intimidating to him. … He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.” Bwahahaha!!!

FBI: [3:25] – For four years, Biden’s Weapon of Trump Destruction had 5,000 of its 13,000 agents working on the J6 investigation. How many real criminals were not apprehended because they were so busy tracking down peaceful protesters?

In other stupid news, The Women’s March has announced they will henceforth hold a moment of silence each week at 12:53pm on Wednesday “to reflect, meditate, or simply bear witness … the moment January 6th rioters first crossed the barricades.”

FEDERAL BLOAT: More than 20,000 federal workers have accepted President Donald Trump’s buyout offer so far, but the number is growing rapidly. They expect it to spike 24 to 48 hours before the Feb. 6 deadline.

To Lefties tempted to complain about unemployed federal workers … cry me a river! When FAUXTUS was destroying jobs, you told coal miners they should learn to code.

GITMO: Planes loaded with illegals are flying the Guantanamo Bay naval facility in Cuba.

HYPOCRISY: Remember when Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegals to the island? Remember how, after making a big show of feeding them and housing them for one night, they demanded and got the U.S. military to remove them all to someplace that wasn’t Martha’s Vineyard? Well, they’re back to virtue signaling.

The Martha’s Vineyard Times reports they stood out in the cold for two hours, holding anti-ICE signs. One of them told reporters, “We have to protect these people because they are part of the workforce of the Vineyard.” Translation: I’m too cheap to pay an American a decent wage to clean my toilets.

MIDDLE EAST: After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump said the United States could take over the Gaza Strip, relocate everybody, and use the land to build a Riviera style resort. N.b., Babylon Bee is reporting it as “will.” CLICK

https://x.com/Osint613/status/1884202978225324205 [:17] to see recent video footage of what Trump called a “demolition site.”

“We’ll own it, and will be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. We’ll level the site and get rid of all the destroyed buildings. Just level it out and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. [You] just can’t go back [to how it was]. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for a hundred years,” Trump said.

MILITARY: In January 2025, the Army hit its best recruiting number in 15 YEARS. America’s youth want to serve under the strong, bold “America First” leadership of President Donald Trump.

SUPERHERO: [2:21] – On Friday, January 31, 2025, a plane crashed in Philadelphia. Andre “Trey” Howard III (10) threw his body over his four-year-old sister, successfully protecting her from flying debris. A piece of shrapnel hit him in the head, causing serious injuries. When he woke up from brain surgery, his first question was, “Daddy, did I save my sister?” Andre faces a long road back to health. The family’s GoFundMe goal (link below) was nearly met after just two days.

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.

FAFO: CLICK https://x.com/injurypics/status/1886655992433156127 [1:50] to see a video shot yesterday outside the White House. It took less than a minute for cops to put this idiot on the ground.

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.”

VANCE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OgWrtsJ6JEU to meet the family pooch.

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.

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.

KASH PATEL: It is enlightening to compare Sen. Josh Hawley’s questions (R-MO) [8:46] with Sen. Adam Schiff’s questions (D-CA). 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.

VIRGINIA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/G9-56eWIrgI to hear Nick Freitas on his Defend the Guard Act.
