Dear MAGA: 20260528 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.


If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Perhaps the only good thing about AI slop is that it has made me more aware of human slop, which isn’t much better.

This guy’s videos are moderately interesting, but they tend to be predictable, repetitive, and low-density on the critical information.

Still, they beat AI slop. “Enjoy”!

We are no longer sober managers of decline, outlasted and outgunned reactionaries trying to stand athwart history yelling “Stop!” in high-pitched, girlish voices. We’re now brawlers and battlers, no longer constrained by unilateral norms or guardrails that serve only to limit our ability to pursue our own interests.

I know of only three venomous lizards — the Gila Monster, the Mexican Beaded Lizard (which is slightly less venomous and much more attractive), and the Komodo Dragon.

The Gila Monster is an unpleasant pink with random black markings; the Mexican Beaded Lizard is similar in shape but black with yellow markings. The Komodo Dragon is larger and more monitor lizard shaped.

BREAKING: DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation Into Trump Rape Accuser E. Jean Carroll

Federal investigators are probing whether Carroll perjured herself when she said under oath that no outside source was paying her legal fees.

E. Jean Carroll told then-Trump attorney Alina Habba under oath that no one was helping her pay her legal fees.

However, it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman was bankrolling Carroll’s legal fees.

Of course she perjured herself. All of her allegations were lies. I hope they can get her on something.

WATCH: SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler Reveals $200 BILLION in Fraudulent PPP Loans Were Hidden by Biden Admin – “People Are Going to Jail”

Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler revealed during a White House cabinet meeting on Wednesday that her agency has uncovered staggering amounts of fraud, including $200 billion in fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that the Biden regime kept hush-hush…

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Trump added. “Wait till you see. I’m getting reports from Todd, from JD. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

➡️ …Of the $200 billion that was discovered by Trump’s SBA, $22 billion has been returned to the Treasury, and arrests are already being made, Loeffler said…

“Our inspector general is already announcing that people are going to jail. There are jail sentences now being served. We’ve announced that 140,000 people have been barred from ever getting SBA loans again, defrauding the government for about $9 billion.”

“We are going to continue our work under the great leadership of Vice President Vance and appreciate the partnership because it’s really accelerated our ability to get the job done.”

…“Today, we announced we have suspended nearly 112,000 borrowers tied to at least $9 billion in suspected fraud. This staggering number represents the most significant crackdown on those who defrauded pandemic programs, and it illuminates the scale of corruption that the Biden Administration tolerated for years.

Earlier in January, Loeffler announced that the agency had discovered nearly $400 million in potentially fraudulent PPP and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) loans in Minnesota. The SBA then suspended 6,900 Minnesota borrowers after uncovering the suspected fraud.

TradeBait2

This is the result of what I posted on here two years ago with my former coworker who was contemplating early retirement. The fraud was not just in the PPP, that is just what is spewing forth currently. It was throughout the SBA’s loan programs and a much, much larger number. It is was ordered by Brandon and the Dem admin – massive criminal fraud.

In the primary SBA loan programs there is a shared risk with lenders as the SBA guaranteed percentages of loans made by with lenders’ funds. Many of whom sold the loans into pools into the secondary markets where it was securitized. So the effect of the Brandon push down on lenders to ignore policy and use crap underwriting practices never accepted before including undoubtedly violating laws – impacted the returns of Wall Street debt market buyers. This bad returns reduced the number of buyers interested in the small business paper causing less lenders to be involved in making loans to small business owners, lower profits to lenders/sellers, increased the reimbursements from the federal government (tax payers) to lenders and buyers after defaults/recoveries, etc.

Since small businesses employ about half the total employment in America – it does not take a genius to see what the effects would be. All of it intentional Dem/globalist cabal induced to help take down We the People and America and shift sheeple back to them.

Always follow the money. it is like breathing. Have to do it. It is rarely points A to B. It goes A to B to C to D to E….

Gail Combs

And with Scott Bessent as treasury secretary we have a shark on the hunt. If I recall correctly he commented something about his job inluding hunting crooks.

“Treasury is here today because this is what we do. We follow the money. Earlier this morning, I met with financial institutions and made clear we must do more to safeguard our nation and protect our financial system from waste, fraud, and abuse…One [other] thing that we are going to announce is incentives for whistleblowers. If these fraudsters want to turn on each other, we welcome that. We will be offering cash rewards to whistleblowers.” – Secretary Scott Bessent

it would be great if the cash reward was put against any money they themselves stole…lol. reduce their timed served or deport whatever, and use the reward to cancel out part of their repayment debt.

this baffles me. hubby, as the accountant for the company he works for, had to submit payroll records and banking records and all sorts o documentation in order for that company to receive anything–and that’s a NY firm.

Two Minnesota Residents Arrested for $21 Million Medicaid Fraud Scheme

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested two Minnesota residents on charges of health care fraud after stealing more than $21 million from American taxpayers.

On May 21, HSI St. Paul reported the arrest of Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf on the charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, EIGHT counts of health care fraud, and TWO counts of money laundering.

comment image

Hassan was a beneficial owner of Smart Therapy Center LLC and Star Autism Center LLC. She had enrolled as a provider of services for the Minnesota Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) Program, and was an employee and lead biller for Smart Therapy Center LLC, responsible for submitting claims to Medicaid.

Through both companies, the defendants carried out a scheme to defraud a health care benefit program of approximately $21.1 million by submitting false and fraudulent claims to Medicaid. This scheme took place over the course of more than four years, from May of 2020 to December of 2024…

Both women are United States citizens, with Hassan having been naturalized.

This investigation is led by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) with HSI assistance. Both suspects will remain in federal custody pending judicial proceedings.

I want to know what they’ve been doing since 2024.

Gail Combs

I want them both shipped back to Somalia.

There needs to be created a Department of Clawback. It needs to have custodial authority so that when criminals are released from prison, they go straight into Clawback custody [Gitmo would be a good first stop for this]. Once there, it is up to the Secretary of Clawback how to get restitution out of them. Once they’ve been squeezed for every dollar possible, they go straight into ICE custody for removal.

These are muslim women; they are tools, nothing more.

The money is long gone, into the hands of men who wouldn’t pay a dollar to keep those women from being hung by the neck until dead.

We may have to settle for rooting out the fraud all over the country, deporting the perps, and paying down the debt moving forward with all the money NOT being stolen.

It pisses me off. But money is fungible. Trying to find where it all went to get it back is most likely impossible.

We have no way to prosecute and claw back money in Somalia.

patfrederick

what if we withhold all foreign aid in repayment. when we’re square, they get aid…maybe.

Aubergine

Last year, we sent Somalia 128 million dollars. Just this one case was 21 million.

By the time it’s all said and done, I imagine the numbers of stolen funds will be in the 100’s of billions.

It’ll take a long time withholding aid to ever pay that back.

The math on this bullshit is staggering. Truly. The whole world has been running on the backs of Americans for decades.

When Hussein and Hitlary are prosecuted, the prosecution will have to explain why they literally tried to destroy America.

It’s just incredible. The hatred they have for America is unhinged. Hussein is a foreigner and a white-hating racist, so that may be motivation enough for him, but what’s Hitlary’s excuse? And Bubba’s?

This yootoober (Chris Yoon) goes over some of the Q posts, reminding us of everything they did, and then showing recent comments by DJT naming Hitlary and Hussein, and saying they need to be held accountable for treason.

You may recall a day or so ago when I was contemplating the replacement of my kitchen can lights’ bulbs. I’ve found out a few things since then.

CREE bulbs are no longer made in North Carolina. They’ve been bought by FEIT and are now made in Racine, WI.

They do try to equalize bulb dimming, but it’s not clear how far back they’ve been doing this.

They have an exclusive sales deal with Lowe’s (while FEIT is sold at Home Depot). This deal explains why prices are so high on Amazon — they’re bootleg or NOS (New Old Stock). The price on the Lowe’s website is much more reasonable.

So, now I need to schlep up to Lowe’s and get a couple of bulbs. Oddly enough, the color temperature is now selected on the bulb with a slider. The same bulb can do 5K daylight or 3K cool white (this was a big, big deal about 15 years ago, but it looks like they’ve got it solved).

Insty has some thoughts on his substack about “relationships” with AI —

https://instapundit.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-screwfly-succession

Aubergine

I believe that the best thing that could happen to humanity is the complete and utter collapse of all technology. Human beings were better off living in the “little house on the prairie.”

It was hard, no doubt. More people died younger, of course. But when they died, they did so not having been corrupted and damaged beyond repair by evil.

Technological advances are destroying humanity. My opinion.

Robert Baker

I was talking with my spouse about what might be the worst consequence of technology on the human being? My conclusion was the loss of our ability to memorize. We have become dependent on digital data.

mollypitcher5

Very true Robert.
Many people now immediately use AI or google the first thing when a problem arises. It’s like they don’t even take a few moments trying to figure out the issue.
Another thing is the devices themselves. They are the lifeline. Communicating has become device calls, email, e-reminders, e-calendars, e-friends, online church, tap pay, all records on us are stored digitally, etc. Works great until it’s hacked or satellite/power disruption.

mollypitcher5

I agree because being inherently flawed human beings we don’t seem to be able to control the desire for more. If one advance is good, next thing we hear that advance is being applied to better ways to kill people or control lives .
I liked it better when the entire world wasn’t like one big bubble. Foreign places and people were mysterious and interesting. Now they’re dumping all cultures together and the reality is disappointing. I loved to read National Geographic mags but now cringe at those used to be interesting peoples now ramming their ways down our throats and defrauding our country at an astounding pace.

Tatonka Woman

Decades ago Mr. TW and I were involved in a company that was truly a pioneer in the use of computer technologies in the operations of our industry. There is not a company out there today in this business that does not use the systems we pioneered.

After some time of being involved with all of this, Mr. TW said: “Mark my words, computers are going to be the end of civilization.”

Time seems to be proving him correct, in more ways than one.

Ex-Top Foreign Aid Official Cries As He Is Sentenced To Prison For Bribes
Former African Development Foundation CFO tells Judge Boasberg his “communal” “culture” led him to kickback scheme with fellow African immigrant
A former top foreign aid official was sentenced Wednesday to prison after admitting to accepting bribes and lying to federal investigators.
Mathieu Zahui, former chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, cried in the courtroom and said, “I stand before the court with shame,” before being sentenced to four months in prison by Judge James Boasberg.
Zahui awarded more than $600,000 in no-bid contracts to a friend’s company based in Africa, which did no actual work. The friend paid him $12,000 in bribes for the contract, Zahui acknowledged in court papers. The African Development Foundation is a federal agency that is the “little brother” of USAID.

The fraud I witnessed while producing this story was so blatant that it is unbelievable no other journalist had already reported on it

In Lawrence, Massachusetts, where this fraud was discovered, blue shipping barrels can be seen for sale on every street. It is impossible to miss.

These barrels are used to ship food, purchased with EBT and collected from charities, back to the Dominican Republic.

In the same city, you can witness Dominican shipping companies picking up food from homes on a daily basis.

The only way it would make economic sense to ship food from Lawrence, Massachusetts, to the Dominican Republic, is if the food was obtained for free.

The whistleblowers we worked with also informed us that there is housing fraud taking place, where Dominicans, who are receiving housing aid, rent out the same houses that they are getting via government assistance, while they live in the Dominican Republic.

If the current administration is serious about stopping fraud, this matter must be immediately investigated.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Thursday, May 28, 2026

“The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.”

Proverbs 10:8 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 10

Through the whole of the Proverbs, we are to look for somewhat beyond the first sense the passage may imply, and this we shall find to be Christ. He is the Wisdom so often spoken of in this book.1 The comfort of parents much depends on their children; and this suggests to both, motives to their duties. #2,3|. Though the righteous may be poor, the Lord will not suffer him to want what is needful for spiritual life. #4|. Those who are fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, are likely to be rich in faith, and rich in good works. #5|. Here is just blame of those who trifle away opportunities, both for here and for hereafter. #6|. Abundance of blessings shall abide on good men; real blessings. 7|. Both the just and the wicked must die; but between their souls there is a vast difference. #8|. The wise in heart puts his knowledge in practice. #9|. Dissemblers, after all their shuffling, will be exposed. #10|. Trick and artifice will be no excuse for iniquity. #11|. The good man’s mouth is always open to teach, comfort, and correct others. #12|. Where there is hatred, every thing stirs up strife. By bearing with each other, peace and harmony are preserved. #13|. Those that foolishly go on in wicked ways, prepare rods for themselves. #14|. Whatever knowledge may be useful, we must lay it up, that it may not be to seek when we want it. The wise gain this wisdom by reading, by hearing the word, by meditation, by prayer, by faith in Christ, who is made of God unto us wisdom. #15|. This refers to the common mistakes both of rich and poor, as to their outward condition. Rich people’s wealth exposes them to many dangers; while a poor man may live comfortably, if he is content, keeps a good conscience, and lives by faith. #16|. Perhaps a righteous man has no more than what he works hard for, but that labour tends to life. #17|. The traveller that has missed his way, and cannot bear to be told of it, and to be shown the right way, must err still. #18|. He is especially a fool who thinks to hide anything from God; and malice is no better. #19|. Those that speak much, speak much amiss. He that checks himself is a wise man, and therein consults his own peace. #20,21|. The tongue of the just is sincere, freed from the dross of guile and evil design. Pious discourse is spiritual food to the needy. Fools die for want of a heart, so the word is; for want of thought. 22|. That wealth which is truly desirable, has no vexation of spirit in the enjoyment; no grief for the loss; no guilt by the abuse of it. What comes from the love of God, has the grace of God for its companion. #23|. Only foolish and wicked men divert themselves with doing harm to others, or tempting to sin. #24|. The largest desire of eternal blessings the righteous can form, will be granted. #25|. The course of prosperous sinners is like a whirlwind, which soon spends itself, and is gone. #26|. As vinegar sets the teeth on edge, and as the smoke causes the eyes to smart, so the sluggard vexes his employer. #27,28|. What man is he that loves life? Let him fear God, and that will secure to him life enough in this world, and eternal life in the other. 29|. The believer grows stronger in faith, and obeys with increased delight. #30|. The wicked would be glad to have this earth their home for ever, but it cannot be so. They must die and leave all their idols behind. #31,32|. A good man discourses wisely for the benefit of others. But it is the sin, and will be the ruin of a wicked man, that he speaks what is displeasing to God, and provoking to those he converses with. The righteous is kept by the power of God; and nothing shall be able to separate him from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES

 

I love You, Lord – You are my strength;
My rock; my refuge – my wavelength;
Without You, Lord – I am nothing at all;
Without Your help – I am just a screwball!

You are my solace in perilous times;
You poke and prod me to create these rhymes;
What should I say – I ask – out of the blue;
I have to admit – I haven’t a clue!

I Love You, Lord – there is nothing you ask;
That I would not do or set to the task;
So many times You have asked me to see;
And take on a problem far beyond me!

A young boy I met – oh, so long ago;
The pain in his heart he could not forego;
I knew neither what troubled him nor his pain;
Or what he could lose or have never again!

I taught him the Bible – I tried my best;
He would not take part in this learning quest;
He would pummel me with spitballs at every turn;
And make the girls laugh until class would adjourn!

I scolded him – questioned him – to no avail;
Each week his antics just seemed to prevail;
So I gave him an assignment not easy or quick;
A problem – a paper – twas no gimmick!

One week had he to complete this sole task;
Precise – with references – just as I ask;
At the next class – he presented to all;
A magnificent paper – as I recall!

Can you imagine my unexpected delight?
As I listened to him speak – share his insight;
He was brilliant – he was wise – beyond his years;
My heart filled with joy – my eyes filled with tears!

After the class, I thanked him profusely;
Did not hold back my praise even loosely;
From that day on, he gave his all weekly;
No longer did I look at this class bleakly!

Then, one day he came to class with sadness;
Gone was his joy – gone was his gladness;
He asked – after class – could he talk with me;
Surely, I said – wondering what it could be!

He said he was sorry he could not be in class;
With me next year – it was impossible – alas!
His family was moving far away;
And that is not all he wanted to say!

I want to say what a great teacher you are;
How sorry I am I misbehaved and by far;
No one has ever cared about me like you;
See – I was a mistake – not much I could do!

Shocked and dismayed – what could I say;
I asked why he thought of himself that way;
He told me he heard his parents say;
He was a ‘mistake’ they had made one day!

Oh, no – said I – that is not what they meant;
A child late in life was their only lament;
The reason I know this and listen – please do;
The mistake that was made was not really you!

Children are gifts that come only from God;
And really – the fact it came later – was odd;
There is something important you need to know;
God makes no mistakes – my little fellow!

ODE TO BEST BET

There is one of the Best named Bet
Who missed not a compliment yet
She comes on the scene
Adept and quite keen
The sharpest lady you’ve met

She zeroes in with no delay
With quirks that will just make your day
She carefully crafts
Delectable drafts
Of whatever she has to say

Observant her eyes can see
What is important to you and me
The smiles through her words
Stick long afterwards
It’s how she happens to be

If you dost post a song
She’ll be there ‘n sing along
No matter the tune
She’ll manage to swoon
And make you feel you belong

If your heart is hurting real bad
And you’re feeling suspiciously sad
She knows how you feel
Can sense why you reel
And dispel any pain you have had

If you’re telling a story so wild
She’ll play along beguiled
Then before you know it
Her smirk she will show it
And laugh that she got so riled

If you bring forth something new
Outrageous and out of the blue
She will try her best
Put it to the test
Even when she hasn’t a clue

Whatever you want or appear to need
She can sense it with spectacular speed
Nothing gets by
Her eagle eye
Knowingly kinetically keyed 

If you stop in to peek some day
To see what Best Bet has to say
A word to the wise
You’ll get a surprise
That will make you giggle and stay

Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your roundup includes: how the same press corps that once chased ambulances now sits in silence while five cancer diagnoses pile up around a sitting president, refusing to even ask the question the rest of the country is already whispering; how E. Jean Carroll’s lawfare crusade — funded by a billionaire with Epstein ties — may finally meet a grand jury, because the moral arc of the universe really is bending the way Barack used to claim; how Joe Biden’s panicked lawsuit to bury the Hur tapes confirms exactly what every honest American already knew about who was really running the country; and how a twenty-year CIA officer walked off the Langley campus with forty million dollars in gold and a fabricated military pilot’s bio — exposing the rot inside the very agency Americans are forced to fund and trust.

HOLY CRAP! CNN just admitted that Sen. John Cornyn’s primary loss is the WORST since WORLD WAR 2 for a GOP senator

Bill Cassidy lost in Louisiana, then Cornyn said “hold my beer” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f923.svg

“His 28 point loss on Tuesday night was the WORST, the worst since at least World War II for a Republican Senator, we have seen this over and over and over again!”

“When a Republican goes up against Donald Trump or Donald Trump really goes up against them. It doesn’t end too WELL for that Republican senator.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f525.svg

“We saw just a few weeks ago, Bill Cassidy getting just 25%, of which was the lowest vote share total for any incumbent senator!”

“And now when looking at the margin, again, breaking history, the 28 point loss for John Cornyn and the worst for a Republican Center since at least World War II. That is how historic it was.”

TRUMP’S PARTY.

ECUADOR has already agreed to this arrangement, and Honduras may be next https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f525.svg

LET’S GO! Trump Doctrine in full swing https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f1fa-1f1f8.svg

Latin American nations are now agreeing to allow joint strikes to finally quash the cartels. I voted for this.

MEXICO SHOULD DO THE SAME. All of Latin America should sign on.

Great news!

Good online friends —

Family dinner last at Chez Son’s house.
SILbyMarriage — appears to be more “forgetful.” She says that she’s “sleeping too much.” She’s only 72.
BILbyMarriage — has colonoscopy tomorrow, to help figure out why he’s still not eating well even after stopping the Wegovy two months ago. Next week, he has a MOHS procedure on a skin cancer. He appears to be less active compared to a couple of years ago. He’s only 75.
DIL’s daughter (my step-granddaughter) — has had a lingering cough for weeks and is tired. Granted, she’s got a lot to do, what with final high school exams, preparing for graduation, etc. But the cough was there before all those.

Yours Truly’s opinion:
DAMN THE COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINES.”

Rep. Mike Lawler Announces FAIR MAP Act to BAN Illegal Aliens from the U.S. Census, Democrats Will LOSE Seats in Congress.

“They’ve allowed illegals to be counted for the purpose of reapportionment, and that’s something that should change… That’s why California and New York, in particular, are freaking out”

“They’re losing seats in states like New York and California, just because of the population shift. People are leaving these states in droves because they’re unaffordable. The quality of life has declined, but if you prohibited illegal immigrants from being counted for the purpose of reapportionment, they would lose significant power, because they would lose more seats.”
