“The Supreme Court of the United States made sure that last Friday was not the slow news day that Fridays typically are. The justices were once again pressed into duty because of the antics of the chronic sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They almost certainly have better things to do, but it was time for the Judicial Branch to police itself.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Before we get into the main topic today, I just want to do an endzone dance over the news that backstabbing squish Thom Tillis will not be seeking reelection, which Matt wrote about. Regular readers of mine know that I’ve gone after Tillis on a few occasions…. Continue reading
“We’ve seen this all before. The left has always projected their filth onto their enemies. They accuse others of the very sins they’re secretly committing behind closed doors. They called Trump a tyrant while building a surveillance state. They called [Judge] Roy Moore a predator while handing out Pulitzers to one. They scream “fascist” while pushing Marxist garbage and dragging this country into censorship, lawfare, and economic despair.”
“When the arc of history seemed to bend toward normalizing the Queer, connecting the trans cause to same-sex marriage seemed like a sure-fire win for the trans. Hard and soft power went all in on this strategy. What happened is different. Transing kids, platforming drag queens, and grooming children with comprehensive sex education have tainted same-sex marriage and the Gay Pride gambit among many. We are passing Peak Pride as a result.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Let’s talk contracts here. Social contracts. If you are an American citizen who pays taxes you are owed certain things. That’s the agreement the Constitution memorializes, that the feds and states are obligated to take shielding actions on your behalf.
12 So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die, but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the practices of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, also heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:12-17 (LSB) 
“The fruit of online apologetics is such that those who desire attention can receive it through outlandish claims and outright misrepresentation. This is not limited to Roman Catholics or even Eastern Orthodox online but is observable in Protestant accounts who outright lie about distinctive Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox beliefs. In engaging with these beliefs one must have the utmost care to not bear false witness, not for the sake of being a nice guy or being winsome but because every idle word will be held before you on the day of judgment.”
“For many people of faith, there are few religious acts more important than the religious education of their children […] And the practice of educating one’s children in one’s religious beliefs, like all religious acts and practices, receives a generous measure of constitutional protection…”

(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) On Thursday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tore into reporters who “cheered against Trump” when he ordered the strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.
“With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth. The American people deserve answers and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will not tolerate this obstruction. I will promptly issue a subpoena to compel Anthony Bernal’s testimony before the Committee.”
“Never before has the autopen been used under such a cloud of secrecy — or at a time when the sitting president’s mental capacity is so openly questioned. The Trump administration is not using the autopen to sign legally binding documents.”
“As the movement gained momentum and more people joined the demonstrations to rally for freedom, Trudeau took drastic, “Stalin-like” measures to shut it down. He instituted martial law and clamped down on the group by freezing their bank accounts and confiscating fuel from numerous trucks, effectively destroying their livelihoods…”
(Protestia) Christian band The Newsboys revealed this past Sunday that they were recently dropped by their record label, 
“If Iran starts printing billions of dollars to pay for rebuilding their enrichment program, the more than 35% inflation rate already being experienced by the Iranian people will skyrocket, bringing with it civil unrest. That’s the last thing the mullahs want.”

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran have agreed upon a cease-fire, ending the current phase of conflict between them in less than two weeks, though the overall war between them has been going on for many years.
“Liberals have rallied for yet another protest, this time “Hands off Iran Protest” Where do they all get professionally made matching signs in less than 24 hours?!? Just think about this, liberals are defending Iran now… IRAN. A country that literally wants us all dead.”
“He wants us to “think creatively,” and let Iran, a genocidal, suicidal regime have some enrichment. That’s not creative. People should question his motives.”
(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) There are some things I’d never do in life. I’d never challenge Usain Bolt to a race. I’d never have a conversation with Clarence Thomas and pretend to know more about the law than he does. I’d never volunteer to tackle Derrick Henry, and I’d never try to tell Peyton Manning how to throw a football. And I’d certainly never try to outsmart Secretary of State Marco Rubio on something like foreign intelligence.
(Bill O’Reilly) Simple man analysis. First, the world is far better off now that the Mullahs’ dream of constructing a nuclear weapon has been diminished.
