HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister, Karen. She does not read The Observations, for some unexplained reason. So I guess I shall have to telephone her later this morning.
Congressional Democrats are complaining and crying about high gas prices. Yes, but at the same time, these same Democrats are planning on stopping the United States acquiring control over the Venezuelan oil fields. Uh, huh.
A federal judge reinstated fired U.S. Attorney Roger Rogoff, and enjoined the President from removing him from office. Federal judges cannot do that. It is well beyond their authority. Good golly, Bob!
A federal judge blocked construction of the border wall in Western Texas. Sigh.
A federal judge dismissed a criminal case against a Jamaican national for illegally voting. The judge ruled that the statutes criminalizing non-citizens for voting were “unconstitutional”. Oh, my!
“I’m of the belief that some people [Republicans] probably need to go to jail. And that should not be a radical concept. That’s not retribution, that’s doing what the hell needs to be done.”
–MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townshend, stating what she expects Democrats to do if they retake power in Congress.
What a Nazi!
If U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D. Tx.) really has had a change of heart on “gender affirming care” (i.e. genital mutilation surgery), then why did a leading LGBTQ++ organization that is pushing the radical “trans” agenda throw a lavish fundraiser for him in New York City? HINT: Mr. Talarico has not changed his heart or his mind. He is lying to Texas voters.
Dallas Cowboys legend Randy White endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R. Tx.) for the U.S. Senate. Randy White told reporters that James Talarico could not be trusted, citing specifically Mr. Talarico’s “trans” agenda.
“Remember, I stopped two gas pipelines from coming into this state.”
–Governor Maura Healey (D. Ma.).
Now Governor Healey is begging the Trump Administration to expedite permits to allow natural gas pipelines into Massachusetts. Go figure.
“It’s the government’s job to give you everything you need to lead a dignified life.”
–Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D. N.Y.).
Comrade Mayor thinks that the “American dream” should be provided and guaranteed by government. But . . . then it would not be the American dream. It would be a communist decree of deprivation.
“If we can’t kick out private facilities, we’ll go after their profits.”
Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.), signing a bill that would impose a special 25% tax on private organizations that contract with ICE.
This is just so wrong. On so many levels.
California is not just adding the Muslim holy days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as paid State holidays. It is also adding “Native American Day” to the paid State holiday calendar. Huh. I am a native American, having been born in Martinsville, Virginia. Why do I get the feeling that California is not celebrating folks like me?
California employers–including churches and religious organizations–are now required to incorporate anti-hate speech training into their employee training. What is “hate speech”? Well, since the usual suspects in the radical LGBTQ++ community are celebrating, we suspect that traditional Biblical teachings of sin and morality are in the cross hairs.
Episcopal Bishop for the Diocese of Washington, D.C. Mariann Budde, better known for her embrace and celebration of sin, and her opposition to all things Trump, is resigning. Wow. That is the best news out of the Cathedral in decades!
“It feels like the free exercise of faith for chaplains has become more important than protecting the free exercise of those they serve.”
–Episcopal Bishop Ann Ritonia, expressing her distaste for War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Office of Religious Affairs within his department.
Bishop Ritonia accused Secretary Hegseth of being “Christocentric” and a “fundamentalist Christian”. Is that a bad thing? Oh, right. She’s an Episcopal Bishop.
The radical Leftist group Americans United for the Separation of Church and State agrees with Bishop Ritonia, and opposes the office’s creation. But of course!
Greensboro, North Carolina based The Fresh Market has been named the #1 grocery store chain in the United States. Congratulations!
The cable news networks have been covering the riots throughout France, characterizing the rioters as “students”. Hmmm. Maybe. What the cable news networks have not been reporting that these “students” are all Muslims, angry over the plight of the so-called “Palestinians”.
Great Britain already houses, clothes, and feeds the steady stream of illegal aliens, largely from Muslim countries, entering the country. But now taxpayers are paying to hand out hijabs to every Muslim illegally entering the country. Sigh. Great Britain is lost.
Shipping through the Straits of Hormuz have returned to pre-Iran conflict levels, EXCEPT Iran is unable to ship any oil through the Straits, thanks to the U.S. Naval blockade. WINNING!
The NBA’s Portland Trailblazers hired, and immediately fired, their new play by play announcer. Why? It seems that in 2012, when the man was 15 years old, he posted some things on social media that the Trailblazers deem offensive. In 2026. This is just pure stupidity. What 15 year old, boy or girl, does not commit silly offenses?
