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!

He’s right.
I find it really funny that the old-guard GOP thinks that Trump is the problem. He’s not; WE are. We are the voters who are taking out the trash.
Yep!
TRUTH!!! The JACKASS party!
Hey! There you are! HI!
Howdy! Good to see that the site and the gang are still here!
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.

Komodo Dragon looks like a happy fellow! I wonder if they make good pets. 😉
Let’s gift one to AOC and find out!
Not sure if donkeys and dragons get along, but always willing to experiment.
It looks prehistoric to me.
I’m pretty sure those are pics of 3 Q-tree members.
Which three – I haven’t a clue.
BREAKING: DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation Into Trump Rape Accuser E. Jean Carroll
Of course she perjured herself. All of her allegations were lies. I hope they can get her on something.
Any female who has ever used a dressing room KNOWS she is full of Schiff. Even the dressing room in the local yokel Wally Mart has a dressing room attendant that counts the number of articles you are taking in so you don’t steal anything.
The entire story was unbelievable bullschiff.
It’s not just any female — if you’ve used a dressing room at all, they are centrally located with flimsy acoustically-transparent walls….the last place ever for a little nookie.
Unless you’re one of those showoffs hoping to have an audience.
Her 15 minute hourglass is almost done.
To me, this is the most awesome news of the week. This means Reid Hoffman is going to be exposed. He may try to start paying off allied people in Israel to beat extradition back here, when he has to flee.
E. Jean Carroll may end up in a body bag to protect Hoffman. “Natural causes.” Conspire with venomous snakes, you may end up inside one.
Maryland’s Democrat Governor Just Signed a Law Banning the Most Popular Handgun in the United States
Glocks.
Unconstitutional, of course.
The NRA is already suing.
I do wish we could get a definitive ruling that says, “shall not be infringed” means what it says. No restrictions on length, barrel length, caliber, or mechanism. [The Founders used privately-owned cannon during the Revolutionary War.] Reciprocity everywhere, just like driving a car. No restrictions on manufacturing firearms or parts [or how will we find the next John Moses Browning?].
No registries, no mandatory classwork, no permits. No BS.
Hit ’em back so hard they’d wish they’d never said a peep.
Absolutely!
A new political party – the 2A party.

Amen!
WATCH: SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler Reveals $200 BILLION in Fraudulent PPP Loans Were Hidden by Biden Admin – “People Are Going to Jail”
“…“Today, we announced we have suspended nearly 112,000 borrowers tied to at least $9 billion in suspected fraud. ”
____________
All white Americans, like usual?
Smellies, for sure.
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….
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.
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0358
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.
Exactly!!!
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. There must have been a known network of complicit thievery in various states to pull this off.
YUP not to mention kickbacks to politicians.
bingo!
Thieves and criminals rarely have Rolodex-es.
But they still know lots of other thieves and criminals.
OR, and hear me out…they DO.
maybe not a rolodex per se…but networks. and when one figures out a scam…he sells it to other networkers and gets a “taste” of that action in return.
Two Minnesota Residents Arrested for $21 Million Medicaid Fraud Scheme
I want to know what they’ve been doing since 2024.
I want them both shipped back to Somalia.
They need to work off that $21 million first.
Breaking one rock at a time.
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.
denaturalize them and deport their asses–AFTER you get the money back.
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.
Yes, for every one of these women, there is a deportable man – brother, husband, son, or cousin.
you realize that’s probably only 2 guys
LOL!
LOL!!!
put all those irs agents on it.
if they can track down people selling things for $700, they can trace the money trail
To Somalia.
We have no way to prosecute and claw back money in Somalia.
what if we withhold all foreign aid in repayment. when we’re square, they get aid…maybe.
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.
legitimately…what the hell are the fraudsters doing with the money? if they’re buying luxury homes elsewhere? they can be sold to reclaim. cars? same thing.
they’re not helping small towns prosper…they’re enriching themselves.
we should be able to reclaim something,
The problem will be that most of the money is gone overseas. Distributed as payoffs, bribes, and kickbacks to foreigners. We may be able to recover some, but I’d bet not much.
okay…bounties on what they did with the cash–a percentage of what is recovered is paid to the genius who discovered it.
Must make the assets fruits of a criminal enterprise [RICO]. Otherwise it’s eminent domain and the govt will have to pay just compensation.
👍
Not hard to understand.
And even if you do all those things, we still might not want you.
Tough shit.

Well, …
Final lap of the Indy 500, I think they said it was the closest finish in history.
In car camera view:

Same final lap:
.
I don’t know anything about strategies used in car racing, but it looked as if the red car was weaving around, trying to ward off the others, enabling the winner to surge forward in a straight shot to gain ground. Exciting race!
Pretty sure the red car was trying to break the draft. The lead car is pushing against the air.
Not sure if I can explain it, but I’ll give it a try.
If you can pull up right behind the lead car, the air that is flowing over the top of his car will continue to flow over yours, so your car isn’t wasting any horsepower pushing against the air, it’s almost like driving in a vacuum. Like riding a bicycle right behind a school bus, so close to the school bus that you are almost touching the back bumper. You won’t feel any wind, even if you’re pedaling 20+ mph.
The lead car’s engine may be right at the redline, for example, 9,000rpm and going 220 mph, as fast as his car will go. Gas pedal all the way to the floor. If you are right behind him, tailgating him, you are also going 220mph, but you may only be at 7,500rpm. You have another 1,500rpm worth of horsepower.
So if you back off just a little bit, maybe half a car length, so you are still in the draft (the air from the lead car is still flowing over your car, so you have no wind resistance), and you floor it, you will accelerate to maybe 225mph without the wind resistance, as you approach your 9,000rpm redline.
Then you pull out to one side, just before you run into the lead car’s rear end, and you’re going 5mph faster then he is.
If he doesn’t successfully block you (by moving over in front of you before you get past his rear wheel), it will be like he’s sitting still, and you’re going 5mph, enough to pass him, before the wind resistance slows you down to his speed.
The lead car isn’t only breaking up the air over the top of the car, but to both sides, also. Imagine that the air is snow, and your car has a snowplow on the front, and as you plow through the snow, it’s throwing snow out to both sides of the car. Air does the same thing, we just can’t see it. If you were driving right next to the car with the snowplow, almost touching his door, the snowplow would through the snow clear past the front of your car, if the car with the snowplow was going fast enough.
So if you can be as close to the side of the lead race car as you can get, as you try to pass him, the lead car is still breaking the air for you (like the snowplow example), until you are about dead even with him.
But the momentum you built up is enough to carry you past him, into the lead. At which point all that air is working against you, slowing you down to around 220mph, which is (in this hypothetical) the maximum speed your engine can achieve in ‘clean’ air.
You want to do this maneuver as late as possible, because if there is still a half lap to go, the guy you just passed is 100% going to try to do the exact same thing back to you, and retake the lead at the finish line using the exact same method.
So they weave back and forth, both to block the car behind them (if it looks like the car behind has a run on him and is going to try to pass) and to break up the draft, so the car behind doesn’t get the benefit of the ‘dead air’ by driving right behind you, like a bicycle riding behind a school bus.
That’s how it works in NASCAR, which are much bigger race cars pushing a lot more air. All the same principles should apply to Indy cars, just to a lesser extent, because the Indy cars are much smaller and more aerodynamic.

We learned stuff like that in the Boy Scouts in the late ’50s.
My boys were in Scouts 20 years ago, and learned stuff like that. The oldest made Eagle. A lot depends on the troop, and the leaders. Although now, Scouting has been ruined by leftists.
My grandson, however, attended a church-led scouting program. They haven’t gotten those yet.
These people are so awful… 😂

Well it appears that I can share a “top” comment but not reply to others at this time. Still enjoying Northern Michigan for a couple more days at least. Blessings to All!
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.
.
Hil and Bill are a clown creation. Puppets on the globalist cabal strings. I brought some detail in the BIMD. They are traitorous facilitators representing the interests of haters of America who only want to rape and pillage out nation and resources.
Who does that sound like from the history books? Look across the pond for clues.
Bill was a Rhodes Scholar and went to Oxford. He And former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair promoted FASCISM renamed The Third Way via Anthony Giddens, former Director of the School of Economics. There used to be a picture of Blair & Bill at the installation of the Fabian Window at LSE.
Hillary was an acolyte of Bill Ayers.
And Saul Alinsky too..
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).
Using them in our kitchen currently. They work great.
Insty has some thoughts on his substack about “relationships” with AI —
https://instapundit.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-screwfly-succession
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.
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.
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.
For sure.
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.
Agreed.
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.
I believe he was correct.
Looks like open season with no limits.
A CIA officer got caught with $40 million in gold bars at home.
he kept applying and adding stuff…did he change his name too????
A long time ago, it was routine for us drug users to have maryjane in the spice rack oregano jar. It was the first place the cops looked but once they found it they didn’t look anywhere else.
This might be a similar situation with the gold.
BTW, that gold likely was not priced that high when he got it.
“US”???
wow…was i the only non smoking, non drug using person growing up?
why wasn’t i approached to star in an afternoon special made about me?
You are not the only one.
great! wanna form a club? LOL
I don’t have many “life of the party” stories. I agree with Groucho Marx, I would never belong to a club that would have me as a member.
I don’t have any stories that start with…”one night i was so drunk or so high, I …”
I do have a lot of stories starting…there I was minding my own business when…
LOL
I know a lot of people who use marijuana for truly legitimate medicinal reasons. For people on chemotherapy, it can be the only thing that allows them to eat. And for others, it beats the hell out of prescription anti-anxiety drugs.
We were trained by Big Pharma to disdain pot and love Valium.
i wasn’t even counting pot–i never tried cigarettes either. and i know there are benefits with it.
Hard drugs are stupid, in my opinion.

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.

Four months, that’s a joke……
Is this the same judge boasberg who went after PDJT?

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.
Excellent. The Dem-beloved fraud is falling apart.
i think the exposure, if it does nothing else to reclaim the funds, is igniting the deport sentiment all over the country. and maybe that’s the point. close the borders–no refugees, no immigration, and deport them. we’re tired of being the world’s piggy bank.
Exactly!
Send them all home, stop the fraud, and America’s economy will EXPLODE with money for all legitimate Americans.
one exception that comes to mind…South African farmers being murdered because they’re white. they want a place to farm and have a normal life. they have skills we need.
PDJT is trying to let them in.
I agree. And I think that there are LEGAL immigrants who benefit us.
Bessent will hold WH press briefing, 2M today.
Excellent!
JUST IN: Stephen Miller MIC DROPS every Democrat rioting outside ICE facilities
“Democrats are rioting to defend p*dophiles, r*pists, murderers, and the scum of the earth that ICE are moving from our streets!”
“Instead of supporting the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol, the President Trump has dispatched to make America safer than ever before.”
“By the way, the rioters who obstruct federal law enforcement are being arrested and they’re being charged with felony criminal conduct and they will do hard time in jail.”
YAY…especially that last part!
Amen.
STEPHEN MILLER JUST WENT OFF!
“The MAGA base, the Trump base, the Republican base has never been more enthusiastic, and all these election results SHOW IT.”
“There’s NEVER been a figure in the HISTORY of the Republican Party, in its entire history, who has commanded such fervent support, enthusiasm, and dedication from the party’s rank and file as President Trump!”
“President Trump’s endorsement track record just in the last few months, where you’ve had dozens and dozens and dozens of people that President Trump has endorsed, including dislodging, longtime incumbents, you’ve seen one race after another where the candidate that President Trump has endorsed from state legislature races up to Senate races have easily TRIUMPHED!”
“The American people understand the hell that we inherited and the extraordinary paradise that President Trump is building.”
America First is not just a slogan–it’s our passion after all these freeloaders, thieves and criminals were dropped into country. the looting of taxpayer dollars is sickening and we’re all tired of it!
America First voters wielding a sledgehammer to flush corrupt. R-Cons is H U G E.
R-Cons are on notice, America First, or get flushed..
agreed. the SAVE Act is exposing the rats.
Amen! When one cannot support fair elections because that might be “divisive” – well then, FU, RINOs. We’re dividing you off.
and it’s not like it doesn’t have practically universal support among Americans–both left and right.
Donors, media, and lobbyists. That’s who they’re afraid of, IMO.
Miller is spot on. The people have had it, but I don’t think all of this would be happening without an extremely strong leader at the helm. PDJT’s leadership emboldens people to speak up and to do more. Plus, his administration, the people he has chosen for positions, and the information they are revealing are catalysts for change. There is finally hope that positive change can actually occur.
I don’t think this would be happening at nearly the same scale with some other Repub president. IMO that is why they hate Pres. Trump so much. He is one of the few who is capable of leading a movement that will reveal corruption and actually get results.
Wolf, wherever you are, I hope it’s someplace fun!
LOL!
Good timing.
Thankfully, I am no longer in the fun place. But some annoying memories remain. Hopefully curable! 😂
Now it’s back to work. Actually, it’s back to the work that should have started two months ago, were it not for the emergencies.
I am definitely getting too old for this shit!
On the bright side, I lost some weight in a healthy way.
Nothing makes one miss normal health problems like new and unnecessary ones!
Any knowledge of Singingsoul and Cuppa?
Singingsoul’s last comments were on 4/1/26. There was nothing indicating an upcoming absence. Her comments are typically in groups separated by several days to a week. So she’s been gone for nearly 2 months.
Cuppa’s last comment was on 4/26, and I found nothing that would indicate a fight or other motivator to leave. I am suspicious of a family or work problem of some kind, particularly if people are not seeing him on the sister blogs.
Too old for this shit. No kidding! Me, too. Every year, I plant the garden, and every year I think to myself, I should plant less. Then a trip to the grocery store scares the crap outta me. So I plant the garden.
Yes. We have to just keep on keeping on.
nice to see you here!
Thanks! It’s such a relief to have a day off, even if it’s a bit of a sick day.
you’re always in my prayers and I hope it’s nothing serious!
Thank you!

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.

God Fights Your Battles Today | Verse of the Day – May 28, 2026 (Morning Prayer)
_____________________________________________
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
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

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️

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.
WOW.
America First Crowd 
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.
I’d like to add that We The People SEE what they’re doing and not doing. We’re not robots that vote whichever way POTUS says although we know that his goals are ours too so we vote our conscience .
Amen!

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!
Is it just me or did others notice that Chile is a gerrymandered country?
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.”

WTF?!

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.”

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg HOLY SMOKES. HHS is now launching a wide-scale AUDIT of all 50 states’ taxpayer AUTISM programs due to rampant fraud
North Carolina data just dropped: +11,000% PERCENT SURGE IN AUTISM BILLING https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f92f.svg
It was NOT just Minnesota!
PRESIDENT TRUMP ON FRAUD: “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
This is being called a “GOLD RUSH” of fraud, hundreds of millions and even BILLIONS are being found.
More data confirmed autism spending is surging in every other state with public data.
👍🏼 This is not a criticism. I would like to know the steps they take to stop the fraud. I’m not even talking about arrests, but what they do in each case to stop it and prevent its happening again. I imagine they block bank accounts and certain individuals and organizations from receiving aid. It seems that a lot of oversight is needed over the process of applying for reimbursement. And then, IMO, overseers are needed to watch the overseers; i.e., layers of accountability.
