“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
— Psalm 51:10.
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s back to Southside I go. Did I just not drive up from there? Sigh. I am tired already.
“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
–Joseph Kent.
Mr. Kent is not required to work for the federal government. But he should not be subverting the chain of command. He should not be undermining the United States military at this time. And he should not lie. Because Iran did pose an imminent threat to the United States. We have been at war with Iran since 1979. And hostilities did not begin because of Israel. How insulting. How anti-Semitic.
Food stamp recipients have sued the federal Department of Agriculture over regulations that prevent them from purchasing soft drinks, candy, and energy drinks with their food stamps. Oh my gosh, you actually have to purchase food with your food stamps! How oppressive!
Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett (D.) is declining to run for reelection. She cited the Democrats’ support for abortion, LGBTQ++ issues, and transgenderism, citing those issues as being in direct conflict with her Christian faith.
In Minnesota, legislation championed by Tampon Tim took effect, mandating that employers give employees paid time off to care for loved ones, and paid time leave off to recover from illness, 12 weeks in each instance. If both are used in a calendar year, the cap is 20 weeks total. So guess what the effect has been? Yep. An amazing number of employees are caring for sick loved ones, and are sick themselves. And for the maximum number of weeks. Not only that, but many of these people taking advantage of the State’s mandate upon employers are using that time for vacation and other leisure activities. Sigh. And no one in State government anticipated this abuse? Or did they just not care.
Virginia’s ruling Democrat Party is implementing similar legislative mandates for employers. But no one will take advantage of this, will they? OF COURSE THEY WILL! And Virginia Democrats will not care.
How did the Old Dominion University enroll at that school, thus gaining access to the campus where he murdered Lt. Colonel Shah? Governor Spanberger (D. Va.) vowed to get to the bottom of it. But she need not look far. Her fellow Democrats, under Governor Coonman (D. Va.), passed a law forbidding public universities and colleges from inquiring about an applicant’s criminal history, or from denying admission to the school based upon an applicant’s criminal history. So how did the ODU shooter hide in plain sight? DEMOCRATS!
Virginia General Assembly Democrats passed new gun laws punishing Virginia’s law abiding gun owners. But they did exempt a class of citizen–Virginia General Assembly members are not subject to the laws.
In Fairfax County, Virginia, an illegal alien–known to be an illegal alien–is enrolled as a junior in a public high school. The illegal alien, a male, was recently arrested for sexually molesting and groping female students. The Democrat Commonwealth’s Attorney wanted to release the illegal alien on bond, allowing him to return to the public school, but a judge declined the request. ICE presented a detainer to the Democrat Sheriff, but the Sheriff refused to honor the detainer absent a promise by ICE not to deport the illegal alien.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH NORTHERN VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS? There are more than a dozen female students who have been assaulted by this man. The illegal alien is 19 years old; he is an adult. He is a criminal. And yet, the school administration, the prosecutor, and the Sheriff are all acting in concert to protect the criminal, the victims be damned!
“. . . But I will also say, you know, even my Democrat governor colleagues, they’re not trying to get illegals here to turn them into voters. I don’t believe that’s what Democrat, you know, politicians are trying to do. And just like Republicans get a bad rap that people think that Republicans don’t like immigrants. That’s not true. But politics drives you to your corners.”
–Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R. Ok.).
A leading member of The Stupid Party. Because he is stupid.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.) claimed that California’s State taxes were lower than those in Florida or Texas. HA! Talk about “stupid”!
Governor Hair Gel is livid that the federal Energy Secretary directed Sable Offshore Corp. to restart operations at 2 locations in California in order to aid the U.S. in its military operations against Iran. Governor Hair Gel is threatening legal action. Because . . . Orange Man Bad.
And Governor Newsom has the gall to complain about high gasoline prices. And to blame Republicans.
Did Democrats complain about high gasoline prices under China Joe? No. No they did not!
Of course, California Democrats have the power to lower prices in their State. Lower the taxes, ease the regulations, make it easier to operate oil wells and refineries in California. But there is no way California Democrats will do any of those things. Indeed, the California legislature is poised to impose more taxes and regulations that will raise the price of gasoline more than $1.00 per gallon.
“On behalf of the Christians of the Middle East and all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict. Cease fire so that avenues for dialogue may be reopened. Violence can never lead to the justice, stability, and peace that the people are waiting for.”
–Pope Leo XIV.
Of course he is wrong. Sometimes violence absolutely leads to justice, stability, and peace. For example, World War II. Once the violence ended, there was justice, stability, and peace in much of the world.
Archbishop of Washington, D.C. Robert McElroy jumped on the bandwagon, calling the U.S./Israeli actions as “morally unjustifiable”. What a nimrod. The mullahs murdered more than 30,000 of its own citizens in the month leading up to the attacks. Was that morally justified? How about the use of proxies to attack Israel (i.e. the Yemeni Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah). What about the pursuit of nuclear weapons to destroy Israel, and other targets? What about bombings throughout the world, murdering innocents? What about taking 53 Americans hostage for more than 1 year? Tell us, Archbishop McElroy, what is morally justifiable about the current Iranian regime? Please.
“Prime Minister Starmer wants to give President Trump advice about our fight with Iran. That’s like taking advice from a nun about sex.”
–Senator John Kennedy (R. La.).
The Iranian people have been calling in tips to the U.S. military on military targets hidden amongst the civilian population. GOOD FOR THEM!
Iran’s foreign minister claimed that the U.S. only attacked Iran “for fun”. Uh, huh.
Iran’s foreign minister also stated that any nation other than the United States and Israel can pass through the Straits of Hormuz unmolested. Huge cave on the mullahs’ part.
Iran has some “conditions” for the end of hostilities with the United States and Israel. “Conditions”? Don’t make me laugh!
Iran’s conditions include the United States promising to never attack Iran again, withdraw all of its military forces from the Middle East forever, and the payment of “reparations” to Iran for the damage resulting from the hostilities. HA, HA, HA, HA!
In Australia, the Iranian women’s soccer team refused to sing the Iranian national anthem before a game, which lead to the mullahs denouncing and threatening them as “traitors”. Some of the women then defected, seeking asylum in Australia, at which point the Iranian regime “disappeared” their families, threatening harm if the girls did not return home to Iran. Most of the defectors caved, and agreed to return, in order to spare their families.
IS THIS BEHAVIOR MORALLY JUSTIFIED, ARCHBISHOP MCELROY? IS IT?
