“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
–1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
GOOD MORNING RIVES BACON! English said that she ran into you and Jess in Martin’s on Saturday. Sorry to have missed you.
It s**wed yesterday. I guess it is pretty. But it is also annoying, inconvenient, and cold. Winter has not even arrived yet, and this is our second s**w! Sigh. Wake me when it’s April.
As expected, the Senate rejected both the Democrats’ plan to extend Obamacare premium subsidies for 3 years, and the Republicans’ plan to reform Obamacare. Fine.
Let’s just get the federal government out of healthcare. That would be a wonderful improvement.
President Trump suggested he was ready to “work with Democrats” on reforming healthcare. NO! Are you “retarded”, Mr. President? Scrap it all! Rip up all federal healthcare programs, root and branch, and get the government out of it!
The United States seized a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea. The tanker was transporting sanctioned oil from Iran.
ISIS murdered American troops in Syria. Why are there American troops in Syria?
Another lawsuit has been filed against President Trump, seeking to halt construction of his Big Beautiful Ballroom. Who did not see that coming?
The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit unanimously vacated 2 district court injunctions, requiring the Trump Administration to fund Planned Parenthood, even though Congress did not appropriate any funds for the organization. The district court judge–an Obama appointee–ruled that the lack of funding violated Planned Parenthood’s First Amendment rights. The appellate judges–Biden appointees–ruled that there was no way that could be shown at trial.
Wow. When 3 Biden appointees overrule an Obama appointee, you know the Obama appointee got it wrong.
Commiela has now spent more time on her poor pitiful book tour than she did on her poor pitiful presidential campaign. Hmmmm.
Senate Democrats want to pass a law requiring airlines to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights, irrespective of the reason. Want to see the price of airline tickets skyrocket? Pass this bill into law.
During a Congressional hearing, Representative Bennie Thompson (D. Ms.) termed the shooting of 2 National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. “an unfortunate accident”. We have no doubt that he meant just that. Disgusting.
Representative Nancy Mace (R. S.C.) wants Congress to rename that portion of 16th Street, NW that was called “Black Lives Matter Plaza”, after the late Charlie Kirk. Sigh. How about just calling 16th Street, NW, 16th Street, NW?
Representative Pramila Jayapal (D. Wa.) claims that Somalis, Indians, and immigrants from South and Central America built the United States. That is just so much bull hockey.
Representative Hank Johnson (D. Ga.) called America “the Great Satan”. Of course, this is the same man who expressed his concern that adding more troops to the island of Guam might cause the island to capsize.
Puddin’head spent more than $50,000.00 in campaign funds for partying and hanging out in Puerto Rico, during the 3rd quarter of this year. Last time we checked, Puerto Rico was not in her Congressional District.
Closer to home, Puddin’head spent some $18,000.00 on 2 separate dinners at local Washington, D.C. restaurants. Communist fellow traveler by day, Politburo member by night.
A federal judge ordered the immediate release of Abrego Garcia from ICE custody, and enjoined ICE from detaining him again. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien. He has NO right to be in this country. But a federal judge thinks he should be free, so . . . .
Disgraced former MSNBC host and serial racist Joy Reid denounced the Christmas song “Jingle Bells” as “racist”. How so? It was written by a man who became a Confederate Soldier during The Late Unpleasantness. Sigh.
“I’m proud of that. I believe in universal health care.”
–Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.), admitting that his State provides “free” healthcare to illegal aliens.
Hmmmm. Did not Congressional Democrats deny over and over that illegal aliens were being provided taxpayer funded healthcare? Pretty sure that they did!
And did not Democrats assure us that federal healthcare programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, etc. prohibited providing illegal aliens healthcare? Why, yes! Yes they did!
Governor Tampon Tim (D. Mn.) claims that ICE is arresting American citizens during their operations against illegal aliens. So do most other Democrats. That is a lie.
What is true is that American citizens are obstructing and interfering with ICE agents during their operations against illegal aliens. American citizens are assaulting ICE agents, sometimes using their automobiles to ram ICE vehicles. Those Americans are being arrested; not for immigration violations, and not to be deported. Those Americans are being arrested for violating American criminal statutes.
Minnesota State Senator Zaynab Mohamed (D.), a Somali immigrant, claimed on CNN that exposing a $1 billion fraud scandal, perpetrated mainly by those of Somali descent, and enforcing immigration laws, is an act of an “authoritarian government.” Oh my!
The Minnesota legislature is considering a bill that would punish gun owners whose guns are stolen, and then used in a crime. Get that? Minnesota legislators want to punish crime victims for the acts of criminals!
In corruption riddled Minnesota, State judge Sarah West overruled a jury’s verdict against the perpetrators of a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud scheme. You cannot send a Muslim Somali to jail! That would be “racist”!
In fact, when a reporter asked Governor Tampon Tim about the rampant Somali criminal fraud, he responded that “We need to hold white men accountable!” Yes, that is the problem. Sigh.
Indiana State Senate Republicans proved once again why The Republican Party is The Stupid Party. Way to go Hoosiers!
In Providence, Rhode Island, a gunman murdered 2 students at Brown University, and wounded several others. Rhode Island has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.
In Bethesda, Maryland, Westland Middle School students are taught that “gender” is fluid, dependent upon feelings, not sex, how to “come out” as “trans”, and 8 common sense tips for being binary. This is sick. Sick, sick, sick.
The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking to have the Wisconsin Supreme Court ban ICE detainers. Too bad the United States Constitution prevents Wisconsin courts from considering and deciding these questions.
Virginia’s universal gun background check law was struck down as unconstitutional. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R.) chose not to file an appeal. Now Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones (D.) has asked the federal courts to permit an appeal to be filed after he takes office. Huh? Since when do persons like Jay Jones and Abigail Spanberger get to exercise power before they assume office? Entitled tyrannical Democrats!
Virginia General Assembly Democrats continue to proceed to reverse the very constitutional reforms that they convinced voters to enact just a couple of years ago. Virginia Democrats want to redistrict Virginia in advance of the 2026 mid-terms in order to eliminate all Republican leaning Congressional districts but 1. Indiana Republicans could learn something from this exercise of raw political power.
In Sydney, Australia, more than a dozen attendees at a Hannukah celebration were murdered by gunfire from a terrorist shooter. Countless others were wounded. It should be noted that Australia does not permit private gun ownership, and actually conducted gun confiscations years ago.
Congratulations to the Strasburg High School Rams on winning the VHSL football championship. The Rams downed the Glenvar Highlanders 49-27. Jason sat in the cold to watch the victory. He also provided excellent play by play coverage.
Navy came back to beat Army on a late touchdown. The Midshipmen win the coveted Commander In Chief Trophy.
At the Army/Navy game, several protestors demonstrated outside the stadium, displaying vulgar signs directed at President Trump. Classless. Simply classless.
The Army/Navy game is the epitome of what college football is all about. There is no NIL, no transfer portals, and no player has a reasonable expectation of playing professional football. Instead, true student athletes, men who will leave college to serve their country in the military, compete on the gridiron. It is about honor, duty, and country.
There is a certain decorum that is expected at the Army/Navy game. Respect should be afforded the players, the schools, the fans, and all other attendees, including the President of the United States.
Did the protestors with vulgar signs at the Army/Navy game have the “right” to demonstrate? Unquestionably. But just because they have the “right” to demonstrate does not mean that they are right to do so. The President is protested every day. But maybe, just maybe, for a couple of hours in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday evening, everyone should have been focused on the event at hand, and honoring those participating in the event. Honoring those who are prepared to pay the ultimate sacrifice for your “right” to demonstrate.
The University of Montana obliterated South Dakota State in the FCS tournament. And Washinton blasted Boise State in the Los Angeles Bowl.
The University of Michigan fired its head football coach Sherrone Moore for cause. Michigan police then arrested Mr. Moore. Wow. That is a bad day.
Serial racist Jemele Hill–the Joy Reid of sports reporting–called the scandal surrounding Sherrone Moore . . . “racist”. Of course it is! Just because a head football coach engages in sexual misconduct, stalking, burglary, and threats, including attempting suicide, you cannot fire him. Because he’s black! And if you do, then you are “racist”.
Sherrone Moore was married, with children. To a white woman. Is she too a part of the “racist” conspiracy?
Actor Peter Greene, who played Zed in the movie Pulp Fiction, has died at age 60. Now Zed really is dead. R. I. P.
“You cannot be afraid to disappoint people. You have to live the life you want to live.”
