Episode 1253 – Beware of False Prophets and Mystics!

I talked about the dangers of the MAiD program in Canada just yesterday. Well, a new study came out yesterday making the MAiD program look bad and the Second Amendment look pretty good.

California keeps adding regulations that give the state government more control, takes power away from small communities, and will make your life far more expensive. That’s what good communists do.

And, the Bible has always warned us to beware and shun false prophets. This advice is as true today as it was 2000 years ago.

So, What Is More Dangerous?

According to the Post Millennial:

Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAID) program accounted for more deaths than gun homicides in the United States in 2024. This is despite the US having roughly eight times the population as Canada.

A total of 16,499 people received MAID in Canada in 2024, according to Health Canada’s Sixth Annual Report on MAID, the latest report available. In the US, 15,364 people were killed by a gun in 2024, per a report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions. The MAID total is 1,135 higher.

MAID deaths reached a record high in 2024 and made up around 5 percent of all deaths in Canada, or about 1 in 20.

Senator Mike Lee commented on the difference between the death rates with MAID and gun homicide and responded, “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S. That didn’t happen by accident.”

Good Job, Gavin!

According to the California Post:

Californians may have to pay even higher homeowners association fees thanks to a law that could be signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom before the end of the month.

Assembly Bill 2050 would require HOAs to maintain a 30-year reserve fund and conduct a study of the reserve account.

If an HOA’s reserves fund is projected to fall below zero at any point during the 30 years, the association must transfer at least 15% of its gross annual budget into reserves each year beginning January 2032.

If the HOA’s budget can’t cover the required transfer, the bill requires the HOA to raise fees on homeowners through a “special assessment.” It’s not clear how much the bill could raise monthly fees for homeowners.

The law would affect millions, as nearly a quarter of California households pay HOA according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

Newsom has until September 30 to sign the bill into law or veto it.

Later in the article, I found the reason why the California government wants to control community organizations:

Proponents of the bill say it would make sure HOAs are better able to keep up building maintenance and other costs. Robert DeNichilo, legislative co-chair at the Community Associations Institute’s California Legislative Action Committee, told the SF Chronicle that the bill budgets “the actual cost of ownership.”

In California, HOAs can can increase regular dues by up to 20% per fiscal year without a vote from community members.

That’s Why Women Aren’t Pastors

Here is Babs Miller, the lesbian pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Texas. This is the “church” James Talarico attends and preaches.

James Talarico is the Senate candidate in Texas, running against the awful candidate, Ken Patterson. In case you don’t know much about Talarico, he is a socialist that for trans-ing the kids, getting rid of all fossil fuels, believes God and Jesus are non-binary, thinks that Jesus supported illegal immigration, and thinks everyone should be a vegan.

This is crazy talk. This is blasphemy.

  • God was not just a vengeful God in the Old Testament. He was training us.
  • The Virgin Birth is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
    • Mary was not married when she conceived through the holy spirit.
    • Joseph married her anyway because God told him to in a dream.
    • Mary ascended into Heaven, as Jesus did, and was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.
    • This was accounted for by the prophets and apostles.
  • The free choice and having the ability to think for ourselves.
    • We already know this.
    • Jesus wrote parables about it (Matthew 25:14–30) about the landowner giving his servants different amounts of money to invest.
    • We also have free will. We can reject God (Jesus is God) as this woman has done.
    • We always have choice. The Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament always taught this.
  • As far as the 12-step program, she’s wrong.
    • I was in AA. You did not get rid of anything.
    • The goal was to get rid of your resentments and ATONE for your past transgressions (SINS).
    • In fact, to cure oneself, one needed to believe in a higher power, which was God.
    • We closed every session with either the Our Father or the Serenity Prayer.
  • Jesus did exist. Every legitimate historian believes Jesus existed.
    • The Romans kept records including tax records, census records, and citizenship records. Jesus is listed.
    • It was also listed that Jesus was a problem and it was because He was teaching against the Sanhedrin. This was recorded.
    • Roman leadership wrote about Jesus in their diaries, usually not in endearing terms.
    • There were witnesses at the Crucifixion that were converted, including Roman soldiers. They wrote about it.
    • St. Paul was a pro-Roman Pharisee and a witness of Christ’s life. He wrote a huge portion of the New Testament.
    • Three of the four Gospels were written by Jesus’ desciples.
  • The New Testament of the Bible is an actual historical record of Jesus’ life. No one doubts this and there has been confirmation.
  • Science is even beginning to believe the Shroud of Turin is real!

Episode 1245 – The Crime of the Century Has Happened!

California is facing a bit of a climate issue, and I’m not kidding.

Christianity is under attack again in Los Angeles.

And one of the greatest crime heists in history happened in California! Let’s talk about it.

Everyone Relax

How About Just No

According to Fox News:

A legal battle over a nearly century-old cross tradition and longstanding Nativity display in the historic heart of Los Angeles could threaten generations of Mexican-American traditions and leave religious monuments across the country vulnerable, an attorney representing local merchants fighting to preserve the displays told Fox News Digital.

“If the cross and nativity were taken down, it would just be the first step in unraveling the vibrant community cultural celebrations, a lot of which have their roots in Mexican-American Catholic history and really decimating this tight-knit community,” Andrea Butler, counsel at Becket and lead attorney for the merchants, told Fox News Digital Thursday in an interview.

A cross has stood at the head of Olvera Street since 1929, when the original was raised to celebrate Los Angeles’ 148th birthday, while a life-size Nativity is displayed each December as part of the community’s traditional Las Posadas celebration.

Last year, according to Becket, a resident sued the city asking it to remove or cover the cross and stop the Nativity display, arguing the display “offends [him] and makes [him] feel excluded as a non-believer.”

The religious-liberty group said merchants have helped preserve those traditions since the area was revitalized in the 1920s, with some current vendors belonging to families that have operated at the market since it opened in 1930. Merchants also help organize annual cultural and religious celebrations, including Día de los Reyes, Día de los Muertos and Las Posadas.

In its Monday filing, Becket asked the Ninth Circuit to allow the Olvera Street Merchants Association Foundation to join the legal battle over a nearly century-old cross and longstanding Nativity display at El Pueblo in Los Angeles. Becket said the merchants are seeking to defend religious and cultural traditions their families have helped preserve for generations.

According to Becket, El Pueblo attracts millions of visitors each year to its Olvera Street marketplace, historic sites and cultural events celebrating the neighborhood’s Mexican-American heritage.

The Crime of the Century

According to the Daily Wire:

A truck carrying roughly 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer — more than 50,000 cans’ worth — has disappeared in Southern California, prompting Pabst to issue a public ultimatum to whoever took it.

The truck was last seen in Montclair, California, on August 17, when it was supposed to deliver its cargo to San Diego. Instead, the delivery never arrived. The shipment was worth roughly $45,000.

The haul included approximately 1,406 cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon and 196 cases of Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic Beer, according to Pabst in a statement to Men’s Journal. 

The apparent beer heist could be one of the largest of its kind ever reported. Pabst, however, isn’t leaving the matter entirely to police. The beer company took to Instagram to address the thief directly, offering what might be one of the most unusual bargains in the history of criminal investigations.

“To the thief: we don’t fault you for wanting to brag to your friends how much PBR you have, we just wish you obtained it the honorable way,” Pabst wrote. “Pabst is officially starting the clock now — you have exactly 18 days and 44 minutes to return our truck, no questions asked,” the company said. “Leading up to that time, we will be offering a reward to anyone who can help us solve this mystery.” The company concluded its message with a warning: “P.s. this is real and we are deadly serious.”

Pabst later provided an update as the search continued.

“Beer is getting warmer, trail is getting colder. Clock’s still ticking,” the company wrote.

Montclair police said the shipment disappeared after a subcontractor was scheduled to transport it from an Anheuser-Busch distribution center. A police report was filed, and authorities are working with Pabst to recover the truck and its cargo.

“We’re working with the local authorities to try and recover the stolen truck and are grateful for all their hard work,” a Pabst spokesperson told Men’s Journal. “We also appreciate all the individuals who have been sharing possible sightings of the truck.”

The company added one final request for the brew bandit: “We hope that whoever managed to steal our truck also knows the importance of keeping beer cold.”

For now, however, the beer and the truck remain missing, and Pabst’s clock is ticking.

Episode 1223 – We Need to Start Paying Attention!

We just had Independence Day and it was great! But we also have all the wet blankets out there that Want to tear up the country on its birthday. Let’s listen to some of the blasphemy.

I keep telling you the Islamists are trying to take over and they’re saying telling us. I have an example.

And we will be changing the format of the podcast in the future. Let’s talk about it.

Is He A Dumbass Though?

There’s more than that:

  • Zohran Mamdani had the subways wrapped with the Iranian flag.
  • Islamists were climbing street lamps and tearing down American flags.
  • Two Leftists were trying to light an American flag on fire and were beaten up by a guy trying to stop them.
  • In Washington DC, a group of Leftists protested “250 years of exploitation, plunder, and terror.
  • In Newport Beach and Los Angeles, there were riots and looting.
  • In Minniapolis, they had a Somali independence day led by that beta-male mayor Jacob Frye.

They Hate You

A couple of things:

  • It is only immigrants who know how to be American and know what path America should take.
  • Anyone who was born here is a supremacist.
  • I wonder how many of those immigrants with him can speak English or on some sort of entitlement program.
  • This is a Democratic trick. They talk of division but everything he is saying is divisive. It’s always “us and them.” They are bad, evil, supremacists. They hate you. They didn’t want you here. It’s never you should feel blessed to be here.
  • I think Mamdani misread Thomas Paine. He also felt that people should be involved in a free economy.
  • This country isn’t an asylum for the persecuted. This country is a melting pot.
  • Poverty is a part of life.
  • As usual, he creates a new victim class.
  • He complains about the misery created by the landlords. Of course, that misery was created by his own policies.

BY the way, his wife decided to take off to Spain to attend an Islamist retreat.

According to the New York Post:

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji ditched America’s 250th anniversary, jetting off this week for an Islamic “spiritual wellness” retreat on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca ahead of the patriotic celebration, The Post has learned.

The Dallas-raised, Dubai-educated, Syrian-American artist – who has a long history of bashing the US — was spotted at Newark International Airport on Monday, boarding an eight-hour flight to Palma, Mallorca’s capital city in the Western Mediterranean.

She was heading to a sold-out retreat run by The Women’s Sanctuary. The 29-year-old illustrator and ceramist is the for-profit’s “artist in residence” and among the gathering’s hosts.

The “Plants Of The Quran” retreat costs $3,400 in US dollars for guests to attend. It began Wednesday and runs through Monday, and revolves around sacred flora mentioned in Islamic texts through art, botanical workshops, and spiritual reflection, according to the group’s website.

This Will Happen…A Lot!

According to the New York Post:

A Somalian flag that was raised outside of Buffalo’s City Hall to commemorate Somali Independence Day was stolen in an overnight heist, the city’s leftist mayor decried.

“The City of Buffalo’s flagpole in Niagara Square sustained damage after unknown vandals broke the access panel, cut the cable, and removed the Somali flag during the overnight hours of Wednesday, July 1,” Mayor Sean Ryan wrote on Facebook.

Ryan said the Buffalo Police Department was investigating the alleged vandalism after the city approved non-profit HEAL International to raise the white star, blue flag on July 1.

“The flag had been raised by an organization called Heal International in honor of Somalian Independence Day. Heal International has been raising the Somali flag at Niagara Square for at least the last four years,” Ryan said.

The mayor’s office shared that the “public use” flagpoles have flown banners of several countries and territories over the years, including Ukraine, Greece, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Italy and Bangladesh.

Episode 1219 – Nope, They Don’t Belong Here!

The Iran cease fire has, shockingly, ended because Iran cannot control themselves.

It seems that people have finally taken the red pill when it comes to Islam. It’s about time. I have an excellent book people should read if the have any doubts or misunderstanding about Islam not being a religion of peace.

And I have another piece of evidence that the Left is the party of destruction.

Hang Them From a Yardarm!

According to Fox News:

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum vowed “full” prosecution Saturday for vandals who allegedly slashed a 350-foot long gash into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and defaced the area with a slew of anti-Trump graffiti.

“When people are attacking it [the Reflecting Pool], it is like an attack on our country,” Burgum said. “These are our most sacred monuments, and they [the perpetrators] are gonna be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Burgum discussed the damage and the Trump administration’s response to it during a “Fox & Friends Weekend” appearance, revealing that authorities have made seven arrests, issued multiple citations and filed 18 police reports in connection with the vandalism.

According to Burgum, the damage extended roughly 350 feet along the pool’s industrial rubber liner, which he said investigators believe was cut with a box cutter.

Images show some of the anti-Trump markings the vandals left behind, including “8647,” interpreted by many as a call to violence or a call to remove the president.

Later in the article:

He said more than 50 parks and circles have been restored, 48 monuments repaired, 22 fountains returned to service and roughly 1,700 lights fixed throughout the National Mall.

Fencing now surrounds the Reflecting Pool amid an investigation into the damage.

Burgum said the fence was installed in part to protect the pool and in preparation for July 4 festivities, which will include fireworks on either side of the monument.

Well It’s About Time Trump Figured That Out!

According to Fox News:

An Iranian lawmaker warned Sunday that Tehran will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that other nations must submit to Iran’s rules.

“We unequivocally support the ever-victorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ decisive action against the American enemy and the assertion of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz,” Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Parliament’s Foreign Policy and National Security Commission, said in a post shared on X.

“The Strait of Hormuz will not return to its previous state, and others have no choice but to submit to Iran’s directives in the Strait,” he added.

Rezaei’s remarks came after President Donald Trump said on June 27 that the U.S. military would “complete the job” if Tehran did not comply with the ceasefire agreement.

The interim Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Tehran and Washington includes provisions governing control of the Strait of Hormuz intended to guarantee toll-free passage for vessels for a 60-day period.

Iran has been busy and not in a good way:

  • Iran has been threatening the United States.
  • They have attacked Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. Their goal was to hit American bases.
  • They maintain they are in charge of the Straight of Hormuz.
  • They have attack a cargo ship from Singapore.

The United States has had enough. We have decided to do what he do best: bomb the ever-loving crap out of them.

Donald Trump released a statement from Truth Social:

A Muslim is someone who follows the religion of Islam, while an Islamist is someone who treats Islam as a political ideology and seeks to shape government and society according to their vision of Islamic rules.

What “Muslim” Means

  • A Muslim is simply a person who believes in and identifies with the religion of Islam.calloflove
  • Muslims range widely in belief and practice, from very liberal to very conservative, and many treat Islam primarily as a personal faith and cultural identity rather than a political program.reddit+1
  • Being Muslim does not automatically imply any particular political position or attitude toward secular democracy or law.philosproject

What “Islamist” Means

  • An Islamist is someone who believes that Islam should directly govern politics, law, and public life, and who treats Islam as a comprehensive political ideology.washingtoninstitute+2
  • Islamism usually involves advocating an “Islamic state” or legal system based on their strict interpretation of Islamic principles, often in tension with liberal democratic values and individual rights.wikipedia+1
  • Many analyses stress that Islamism is not simply greater religious piety but a modern ideological project that seeks power and control over society, sometimes justifying coercion or violence to achieve these goals.washingtoninstitute+1

Relationship Between Muslims and Islamists

  • Most Muslims are not Islamists; they practice Islam as a religion without seeking to impose a single political model on everyone.
  • Some Muslims are Islamists, in the sense that they say their religious beliefs require them to push for Islamic law and governance; however, this is a subset, not the majority.
  • Conflating “Muslim” with “Islamist” leads to misunderstanding and stigma because it treats ordinary religious believers as if they were adherents of a radical or hardline political ideology.

A Simple Way To Keep Them Straight

  • “Muslim”: a follower of the religion of Islam (analogous to “Christian,” “Jew,” etc.).calloflove
  • “Islamist”: someone who wants Islam (as they interpret it) to structure the political system and laws, often in a strict or exclusionary way.wikipedia+2

Episode 1218 – This MOU Ain’t That Great!

The memorandum of understanding is out (we think). Though we don’t have the official document, it seems this is the agreements.

Let’s Take a Look

Here is the memoradum of understanding:

Paragraph 1

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war, by signing this MOU, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts including in Lebanon and other provisions of this paragraph.

Some things:

  • I don’t like this. Why is Lebanon involved in this? Lebanon is a Iranian satellite terror group.
  • What happens if Hezbollah attacks Israel? Would that be a bad thing put on Israel or would it be a violation of the MOU?
  • There is absolutely no mention of Israel. Why?
  • I doubt this is going to hold.

Paragraph 2

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran undertake to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in each other’s internal affairs.

Some things:

  • What the hell does that mean?
  • What are the territories?
  • What about the Straight of Hormuz? Who’s is that?

Paragraph 3

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in maximum 60 days extendable with mutual consent.

Some things:

  • I hate this!
  • We shouldn’t be negotiating anything. We won the war. We should be telling them what they are going to do.
  • This is weakness and will not be embraced by Americans.

Paragraph 4

Immediately upon the signing of this MOU, the United States of America will begin the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the Islamic Republic of Iran and will fully end the naval blockade within 30 days. During this period, the traffic of vessels will be in proportion to the numbers of pre-war traffic being restored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal.

“What we’re saying is that after 30 days, or within 30 days after the final deal—meaning assuming we get to the final deal, we may not—but assuming we get to the final deal, then we will return our force posture in the region to that which existed before the conflict started,” the senior administration official noted. “That’s what that paragraph effectively provides.” 

Some things:

Paragraph 5

Upon the signing of this MOU, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran will be reinstated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services of the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

The senior administration official made particular note that the MOU says “the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge” for the first 60 days.

“It says that Iran will work not just with Oman, but with the Gulf States to set up a broader agreement, a longer-term agreement on the Strait of Hormuz,” the official explained. “And of course, I’m sure the Iranians will assert their rights as aggressively as they can, but fundamentally toll-free passage of the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, and that will continue because the Persian Gulf States will never agree to an arrangement that doesn’t permit toll-free access to the Strait of Hormuz for themselves and their industries.” 

The senior administration official also emphasized that on Tuesday, Iran did not fire at any vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. 

“So fundamentally, even before the formal signing ceremony on Friday, we see Iran actually ceasing its efforts to cut off traffic from the Strait of Hormuz,” the official noted. “This is one of the reasons why Brent crude is hovering around $79 and West Texas crude is even lower.” 

Paragraph 6

The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan, which could reach $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The definitive implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers, and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.

This paragraph, the senior administration official pointed out, is probably one of the most controversial paragraphs in the deal. 

“Note that it doesn’t require us to do anything,” the official said. “Number one, to ever pay a cent of money to the Iranians, to ever contribute money to this reconstruction fund. What it says is that if we get to a final deal and if the Iranians behave, we will permit the sanctions relief that would allow, for example, the Emiratis to build a power plant in Iran.”

“That’s all it says,” he emphasized. “If they do what they have to do, we will permit the investment in the reconstruction of their country, which of course, if they do what they say they’re going to do and they change their behaviors as a country, that would be great for everybody.”

Paragraph 7

The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against Islamic Republic of Iran, including United Nations Security Council resolutions, i.e., IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions, primary and secondary, in an agreed-upon schedule as part of the final deal. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America acknowledge the critical importance of the sanctions termination issue above mentioned and express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

Paragraph 8

The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpile enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in paragraph seven with a minimum methodology to be downblending on site under the supervision of the IAEA. 

The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear needs based on a satisfactory framework to be agreed upon in the final deal. Final deal will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran acknowledge the critical importance of the nuclear issues above mentioned and express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

On this point, the senior administration official emphasized that while the Iranian media has claimed that there will be no mention of nuclear issues in this MOU, the agreement doesn’t just say that they will discuss the nuclear question.

“It sets a minimum standard where at a minimum, the enriched stockpile will be destroyed by downblending,” the official explained. “Of course, that’s the floor, and we will push for more than that, but the fact that they’re conceding to that is a major, major win for the United States of America. They’re saying, ‘We will destroy the enriched stockpile and this is how we’re going to do it, at a minimum.’” 

Points seven and eight play off one another, the senior administration official said. 

“So when I see the media saying that they’re going to get all their sanctions relief, the sanctions relief in seven is tied to the nuclear settlement in eight, and in fact, we use the exact same language to finalize both of those paragraphs,” the official explained. “We’re saying the sanctions relief and the nuclear issues are connected, and to the extent that you perform on the nuclear questions, you’ll get the sanctions relief.”

Paragraph 9

In the final deal, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree to maintain the status quo. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region.

Paragraph 10

The United States of America undertakes that immediately upon the signing of this MOU and until the determination of sanctions, US Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and all associated services including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc.

The senior administration official here pointed out that when the U.S. was sanctioning Iranian oil, the U.S. was actually giving China a “massive discount on the purchases of petroleum.”

“Regardless of whether we had had efficacy, regardless of whether we lift a single other sanction, the President of the United States and the entire team agreed that it’s absurd to sanction Iranian oil in such a way that they are still allowed to sell that oil, we just give China a big fat discount. We stop that process, and of course, it’s part of the broader agreement.”

Paragraph 11

The United States of America undertakes to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the implementation of this MOU. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the procedures related to the release of these funds during the negotiations. Such funds, whether retained in the original account or transferred, shall be made fully usable for payment to any ultimate beneficiary designed by the Central Bank—excuse me—ultimate beneficiary designated by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America undertakes to issue all necessary licenses and authorizations accordingly.

Iran will get access to the restricted funds and assets upon the implementation of this MOU, the senior administration official explained. 

“So assuming we reach the agreement and implement the terms of this MOU, assuming we get to a final deal, then they will have access to these assets,” that official noted. “And indeed, what we’ve contemplated is that if they engage in good behavior, for example, they give us the nuclear dust while we’re engaged in this final negotiation, then we will release some frozen assets in response to that.” 

The official emphasized a point that he believes will be misreported. 

“What Iran wanted was restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the signing of this MOU,” the senior administration official said. “And what they eventually conceded is that they wouldn’t get any money unless they perform good behavior, even though of course it’s their own money, just in frozen assets, which is why we structured it the way that we do. If they implement the MOU, they then get access to some of their frozen assets.” 

Paragraph 12

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree that an executive mechanism will be established to monitor the successful implementation of this MOU and the future compliance of the final deal.

Paragraph 13

After signing this MOU and subject to the beginning of the implementation of paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11 of this MOU, and the continuing implementation of these measures, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will start negotiations regarding the final deal exclusively on the other paragraphs.

Paragraph 14

The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution and then there’s the signature page and that is it

Episode 1216 – That’s Why the SPLC Is Being Investigated!

A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.

A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.

And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to Fox News:

The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.

Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.

A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.

The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.

Later in the article:

Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.

Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.

One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.

That’s Why They Are Being Investigated!

According to the Post Millennial:

DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.

According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.

The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDash’s charitable giving system.

The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLC’s classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employees’ charitable giving options.

Well, It’s About Time!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.

The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.

In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

In May, Newsom announced plans to make California the first state to provide “free diapers” to newborns leaving the hospital — funneling the money for the program through a nonprofit headed by a friend of California’s self-described “First Partner,” The Daily Wire previously reported.

Baby2Baby co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s group “California Partners Project” — and it’s Baby2Baby that will take point on the $20 million diaper project, which is supposed to provide every family leaving the hospital with a newborn with 400 diapers.

It’s Coming to an End…Finally!

According to ESPN:

Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”

San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4⅔ innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”

“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that … There’s no hate at all,” he told reporters. “It’s just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.”

“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16

Roupp brought up:

  • JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
  • Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
  • The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
  • Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) – Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but it’s now cited as part of the same pattern.
  • Jason Adam
  • Jalen Beeks
  • Brooks Raley
  • Jeffrey Springs
  • Ryan Thompson
  • Blake Treinen (Dodgers pitcher)

Episode 1205 – BLASPHEMY!

The DoJ is finally going after the anti-Semitism on college capuses.

A man in Los Angeles is suing the city council after being fired for not supporting the city’s official religion.

And the Texas Dems have a Senate candidate has a rather odd view of the Christian religion. Let’s talk about it.

Systemic Hate

According to the New York Post:

A group of antisemitic UCLA students beat their Jewish classmates unconscious, attacked them with sticks and pepper spray and created Jewish exclusion zones — all while the school did nothing to stop it — according to a new lawsuit against the University of California.

The school allowed for vile antisemitic attacks on Jewish students on the campus following the Hamas attacks on October 7, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said in the suit, obtained by The California Post.

“Antisemitic hatred against UCLA’s Jewish and Israeli students reached a point where students were physically assaulted, injured, excluded from campus, and deprived of educational opportunities because of their perceived Jewish or Israeli heritage,” the lawsuit said.

The explosive Department of Justice complaint alleges anti-Israel protesters seized control of UCLA’s main quad in April 2024, setting up barricades and physically blocking Jewish and Israeli students from entering classrooms, libraries and walkways.

One Jewish student was knocked unconscious with an open head wound, while others were kicked, beaten with sticks and blasted with pepper spray. Another victim was assaulted and told “Hitler missed one.”

One Native Jewish woman-who counter protested by holding a sign reading “Hamas supporters are not welcome on native land”-was “violently assaulted,” per the complaint. UCLA police were “directly behind [her] and [did] absolutely nothing,” it added.

Protestors established militia-style checkpoints on UCLA’s campus and refused to allow Jews to traverse public property unless those Jews denounced a core tenet of their religion, per the complaint.

The encampment took over Royce Quad — the heart of campus — with barricades, checkpoints and graffiti including “F*** ALL Jews” and ‘F*** Israel’ scrawled on buildings.

The vile students also allegedly set up “human phalanxes” to stop access for Jewish students for some areas — demanding students renounce Zionism to pass through checkpoints.

By the time police finally moved in, the situation had spiraled into what officials later described as a “war zone,” with fireworks, strobe lights and violent clashes between rival groups.

The DOJ says UCLA violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by showing “deliberate indifference” to widespread harassment and discrimination.

More than 100 complaints were filed by Jewish and Israeli students — many allegedly ignored by the school.

Internal findings cited in the lawsuit say UCLA leadership repeatedly refused to enforce its own rules, allowing the illegal encampment to persist for days.

Nearly 60% of Jewish students said they avoided campus at the time, while more than 40% considered leaving UCLA altogether, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims UCLA officials knew students were at risk of assault but “took no serious action whatsoever” for nearly a week.

Instead, administrators told students to “avoid the area if they wish” while describing the chaos as “mostly peaceful.”

Behind the scenes, the school chose a “de-escalation strategy” — even as protesters armed themselves with pepper spray, lumber and makeshift weapons

The DOJ also alleged UCLA breached its federal funding contracts and grants by claiming it complied with its Title VI obligations while allowing discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students to persist on campus.

LGBTQ is a Religion

According to Fox News:

A Christian lifeguard for the Los Angeles County Fire Department who says he was punished for his religious beliefs after objecting to Pride flag duties is headed toward trial.

Captain Jeffrey Little, a veteran of more than 20 years in the L.A. County Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division, sued Los Angeles County and several fire department supervisors in 2024 after the county adopted a policy in 2023 requiring the Progress Pride flag be flown at county facilities throughout June to honor LGBTQ Pride month.

Little, a devout Christian, argued the policy conflicted with his religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality and sought a religious accommodation exempting him from personally raising the flag or ensuring subordinates raised it. Little said the county initially granted this accommodation before revoking it just two days later.

Little took down several flags and was later placed under investigation and ultimately suspended for 15 days without pay.

The county says Little was not punished for his religious beliefs but for taking down government-issued Pride flags without authorization and violating department policy.

Jonna also said there were other lifeguards who “vandalized and desecrated” the LGBTQ flag but were either not disciplined or were given shorter suspensions than Little, whom he says went through the proper channels to request a religious accommodation for flying the flag.

The lawsuit alleges Little faced retaliation, harassment and discrimination after requesting the accommodation. It also claims Lifeguard Division Chief Fernando Boiteux told Little that his “religious beliefs don’t matter,” an allegation the county disputes.

This Ain’t My Religion

According to the Daily Wire:

Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico, a Democrat, is again claiming the Bible supports his position that the government should allow the murder of unborn babies up until the moment of birth.

During a recently published episode of the hyper-progressive Jamie Kern Lima Show, Talarico claims the Bible is “silent” on abortion and suggests scripture backs his position that the government shouldn’t restrict abortion at all.

Here’s what he said:

The Left always talks about how rape and incest are the main reason abortion should be allowed. This is dumb. Incest and rape make up about 1% of the abortions.

The reason incest and rape are not considered valid reason is the circumstances that led to the pregnancy doesn’t change the fact that a child has been conceived. The moral dilemma is the same no matter the circumstances. But that is not important. The reality is we would allow for abortion in the cases of incest and rape if the Left got rid of all the other abortions. They won’t do that.

By the way, a 10 year old can get an abortion because a pregnancy could harm the 10 year old. In case of the mother’s life is in danger, you can get an abortion in Texas. That’s just a lie.

The Bible is not silent on the killing of babies.

The Bible is extremely clear about children and their origin.

  • Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you.”
  • Psalm 127:3-5 declares that “children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him” and compares children born in one’s youth to “arrows in the hands of a warrior”.
  • Psalm 139:13-14 celebrates how God forms each child in the womb, describing them as wonderfully made.
  • Matthew 18:3-5 records Jesus saying “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” and teaching that “whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me”.
  • Matthew 18:6 contains one of the strongest warnings about harming children, stating it would be better for someone who causes a child to stumble “to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea”.
  • Matthew 18:10 warns believers not to despise children, revealing that “their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven”.
  • Mark 10:14-15 shows Jesus telling his disciples to “let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these”.
  • Jeremiah 19:4-5 identifies spilling the blood of innocent children as a grave sin that provokes God’s anger.
  • Isaiah 10:2, Ezekiel 22:7, and Zechariah 7:10 all warn against oppressing orphans and vulnerable children.
  • And the Fifth Commandment is “Thou shall not kill.”

But this guy, a fake pastor, recruited by the Devil, I suspect has said many odd things about God.

This is pure blasphemy. It also is a sign that this guy has no idea what the Bible says.

The Old Testement

  • Genesis 19:1–11 – The Sodom and Gomorrah narrative, where attempted male‑on‑male gang rape is described and later interpreted by some traditions as a paradigm of homosexual sin (others emphasize inhospitality and violence).
  • Leviticus 18:22 – “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (prohibition within the Holiness Code).
  • Leviticus 20:13 – Parallel to 18:22, prescribing the death penalty for a man who “lies with a male as with a woman.”
  • Ezekiel 16:49–50 – Refers back to Sodom’s sins including “abominations”; some readers connect those “abominations” to same‑sex acts, though the text itself emphasizes arrogance and neglect of the poor.

The New Testement

  • Romans 1:26–27 – Paul speaks of women “exchanging natural relations for those that are contrary to nature” and men “consumed with passion for one another,” committing “shameless acts with men.”
  • 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 – A vice list including terms often translated “men who practice homosexuality,” “male prostitutes,” or “sodomites,” depending on how the two Greek words malakoi and arsenokoitai are rendered.
  • 1 Timothy 1:9–10 – Another vice list including a term often translated “sodomites” or “men who practice homosexuality,” usually understood as paralleling 1 Corinthians 6:9–10.

What About Trans People?

  • Genesis 1:27 – Humanity created “male and female” in the image of God, taken by many as establishing a fixed binary of sex/gender.
  • Deuteronomy 22:5 – “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this” (often cited directly against cross‑dressing and, by extension, transgender expression).
  • 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 – Paul’s teaching on head coverings, hair length, and honor/dishonor, interpreted by some as condemning men taking on feminine appearance and women taking on masculine appearance.

Episode 1204 – So What’s Next with Iran?

The Iran war may be entering its next stage. What is that? We don’t know and President Trump is trying to figure that out.

Pope Leo has some comments about AI and the dangers it may possess. He’s not wrong on a lot of it.

And Virginia is about to implement some of the harshest gun control laws in the country in violation of the Second Amendment. Thank God there are some real Americans still living in Virginia.

Some News:

Here is some news:

  • Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed by the Feds for violating Cuba sanctions.
    • They are focusing on Leftists donors that made this trip possible.
    • This is also a way to counter the anti-U.S. propaganda.
  • Tulsi Gabbard has resigned from her position in the government. She is the Director of National Intelligence.
    • Her husband is suffering from a rare bone disease and she has decided to be with him.
  • President Donald Trump will convene a rare Cabinet meeting at Camp David Wednesday as negotiations with Iran enter a critical phase.
    • All Cabinet members are expected to attend the meeting, first reported by the New York Post and confirmed by Fox News, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
  • A gunman has been shot dead after approaching a White House security checkpoint and firing at officers, federal officials have said.
    • The White House, where Donald Trump was present, was briefly locked down on Saturday as the sound of a sustained volley of gunshots rang out, sending journalists in the area running for cover.
    • A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said.
    • Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.
    • During the shooting, a bystander was also shot. The Secret Service said: “It remains unclear whether the bystander was struck by the suspect’s initial gunfire or during the subsequent exchange of gunfire.”
  • Kyle Busch, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, died at the age of 41 from complications related to severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. His passing was announced on May 21, 2026, just hours after he was hospitalized for a severe illness.

Dude, Stay in Your Lane

According to Fox News:

Pope Leo unveiled the Vatican’s new encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” warning that artificial intelligence risks becoming a tool of “domination, exclusion and death” unless governments and institutions place moral limits on the rapidly developing technology.

The Vatican is formally entering the global debate over artificial intelligence as governments and tech companies race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems with limited international regulation.

The pontiff invoked Pope Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical “Rerum Novarum,” which addressed worker exploitation during the Industrial Revolution, arguing that AI represents a similarly transformative moment threatening human dignity.

“Today we find ourselves facing a transformation of similar magnitude, with perhaps even greater consequences,” the Pope said.

The pope warned about increasingly autonomous weapons systems that are beyond meaningful human control. He also said AI systems could block access to healthcare, employment and security because of biased data. He compared AI governance to nuclear arms control.

“Like nuclear energy, it must be at the service of all and of the common good,” he said.

The pope said disarming AI alone is not enough and called on governments and institutions to “build” systems rooted in trust and human dignity. Recalling devastating floods in Peru, he said rebuilding means restoring trust and hope.

The pope also laid out the church’s broader argument about humanity and technology.

“The person bears within him- or herself a freedom, an interiority and a vocation to love and worship that no machine can replace,” he said.

The Vatican is attempting to insert moral theology into a largely secular technological arms race.

“Stay awake,” the pope urged, warning humanity not to surrender moral judgment to machines.

The Law Is the Law

According to Fox News:

Ryan Mehaffey, a Marine veteran and Virginia prosecutor, is taking a hard-line stance against what he believes is an “unconstitutional” new gun ban signed by Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

Spanberger, who has been slipping in the polls amid criticisms of her progressive policy agenda, signed a new bill last week banning the future sale and manufacture of “assault weapons,” including many semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. The law also bans the future sale of magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds.

The move caused immediate backlash from many Virginians and raised new Second Amendment violation concerns. Rather than protest, however, Mehaffey, who serves as the commonwealth attorney for Spotsylvania County, is drawing a line in the sand and flatly refusing to enforce the ban.

With the bill set to take effect this July ahead of America’s 250th anniversary of independence, Mehaffey sent a letter to Spotsylvania Sheriff Roger Harris, instructing him that the ban is “unconstitutional and cannot be lawfully enforced.”

He said

“Our founders were careful to make sure when they drafted our founding document, that the ultimate right of the people was preserved to defend themselves and to defend their community. So, the linchpin of the constitutional analysis is going to be does this instrument have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a regulated militia.”

Mehaffey argues that in Virginia, historical tradition and case law precedent not only allow citizens to own firearms but even require them to arm themselves with the weapons of a basic infantryman for common defense. In the Founding Fathers’ time, Mehaffey said the standard issue was a musket and 20 rounds. Today, the basic infantry weapon in the U.S. military is the M4A1 carbine equipped with a 30-round magazine.  

“The second amendment may not mean that you are allowed to have a nuclear weapon,” he laughed. “But what it does allow you to have is a basic infantry weapon.”

“That sort of weapon is the core of what’s protected by the Second Amendment. Not necessarily a nuclear warhead, but a rifle that you can take out and form either a fire team or a company to defend yourself and to defend your community.”

“My position is not based on politics. It is based on constitutional fidelity,” he continued, adding, “The Bill of Rights either means something, or it does not.”

“As Commonwealth’s Attorney, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia. That oath is not situational, and it does not change based on politics, headlines, or pressure from either side of an issue.”

Mehaffey believes he and those standing beside him on this issue will ultimately prevail.

“The Second Amendment is the supreme law of the land, both in the U.S. Constitution and the analog in the Virginia Constitution,” he explained. “So, whatever law is passed by the General Assembly is not going to have the ability to supersede the Constitution.”

Episode 1191 – The Left Hates Christians!

The Biden Justice department has not been playing well with others.

An anti-abortion father profits from the misdeeds of the Biden administration.

And New York isn’t learning a bloody thing about the Biden administration’s mistakes.

Who’s Weaponizing the Justice Department?

The article argues that the Biden Justice Department closely coordinated with major abortion-rights organizations to monitor, build cases against, and secure harsher penalties for peaceful pro-life activists using the FACE Act, while downplaying attacks on pro-life centers and religious opponents of abortion.

Core claims

  • The piece says internal DOJ emails, released in a Trump-era report, show senior Biden DOJ official Sanjay Patel treating an activist at the National Abortion Federation (NAF) as an “MVP” for flagging pro-life protests in real time and connecting her directly with FBI agents to spur FACE Act investigations and prosecutions.
  • According to the article, pro-abortion groups such as NAF, Planned Parenthood, and the Feminist Majority Foundation compiled and sent “dossiers” on pro-life activists to DOJ, including home addresses, photos of family members, travel plans, social media posts, associates, and even driver’s license numbers, years before some were charged.

Monitoring and prosecutions

  • The report described in the article claims Patel and the DOJ “monitored” certain pro-life families, like Calvin Zastrow’s, for years by tracking their social media and travel and by asking NAF for updates on where they might protest next, before later indicting them under the FACE Act for sit-ins and blockades at clinics in states like Tennessee and Michigan.
  • The article emphasizes that many of those prosecuted under Biden were engaged in activities it characterizes as peaceful—praying, singing, and sitting in front of clinic doors—yet some received multi‑year prison sentences, which the Trump DOJ now contrasts with lighter average sentences for pro‑abortion defendants in FACE‑related cases.

Alleged bias and disdain for religion

  • The Daily Wire piece highlights language from DOJ attorneys as evidence of hostility toward religious pro‑lifers, including descriptions of Christian pro‑life beliefs as “culty” and an email complaining about drawing a “very Catholic magistrate” who was careful about defendants’ First Amendment rights.
  • It further notes that, per the Trump report, Biden‑era task force lawyers were in “constant contact” with abortion clinics and advocacy groups yet had no contact with pro‑life pregnancy centers until months after a surge in vandalism and attacks against those centers following the Dobbs leak.

Relationship with abortion groups

  • The article says DOJ officials not only relied on abortion-rights groups for intelligence but also tried to help at least one such group, NAF, obtain private grant funding, with a DOJ lawyer asking ethics officers if they could vouch on DOJ letterhead that NAF was “valuable to our law enforcement efforts.”
  • The Trump report, as summarized, criticizes this as a conflict of interest: DOJ lawyers allegedly took an interest in the financial success of entities that were simultaneously shaping the department’s enforcement targets.

Trump administration response

  • The article frames the new 800‑page Trump DOJ report as part of a broader effort to “correct” Biden-era weaponization of the FACE Act, pointing to Trump’s early pardons of convicted pro-life activists and a recent seven‑figure settlement with pro‑life leader Mark Houck after his FACE Act prosecution and FBI raid.
  • It concludes that, taken together, the emails and report show a DOJ that partnered with abortion activists to pursue religious, pro‑life Americans while giving comparatively less attention to crimes against pregnancy centers and churches.

Justice Has Been Done!

According to Fox News:

A pro-life activist whose 2022 arrest by the FBI under the Biden administration drew national headlines has reached a seven-figure settlement after suing the Justice Department over his arrest and prosecution.

Mark Houck filed a lawsuit against the department in 2023 seeking restitution for what he called “a faulty investigation” and “excessive force” after a SWAT team of around 25 people arrested him in front of his children at his home on Sept. 23, 2022, allegedly with guns drawn.

The shocking details of his arrest spurred criticism from conservatives that the Justice Department under then-President Joe Biden was targeting pro-life activists.

After a three-year legal battle, 40 Days for Life President Shawn Carney announced April 9 that Houck had reached a settlement with the Department of Justice under President Donald Trump and had been awarded more than $1 million.

An Attack on Catholics! I’m Shocked!

According to Fox News:

Catholic nuns who have spent more than a century caring for the dying poor are suing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, saying a new state law could force them to choose between their faith and their mission or face fines, loss of licensing and even jail time.

“We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission,” Mother Marie Edward, O.P., told Fox News Digital in a statement. “It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care. We do not take insurance or government funds or money from our patients or families. The care is totally free.”

“We are supported by the goodness of our benefactors,” she continued. “We do this without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, or sex. We do it because Jesus taught us that, when the least among us are sick, we should care for them, as if they were Christ himself.”

Signed into law on Nov. 30, 2023, the “Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and people living with HIV long-term care facility residents’ bill of rights” bans long-term care facilities and staff “from discriminating against any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status,” according to a press release from Hochul’s office.

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who run Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the law they say would require them to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex; allow access to opposite-sex bathrooms; allow expression, relationships and identity practices; use preferred pronouns; require staff training in gender ideology; and post a public notice stating compliance with the law.

Edward told Fox News Digital that “New York’s gender ideology mandates not only violate our Catholic values, they threaten our existence with fines, injunctions, license revocation, and even jail time. This is why we were forced to go to court to seek protection of our religious exercise and freedom of speech so that we can continue our ministry to the poor.”

The letters listed New York’s demands and included a training curriculum “requiring the sisters to align patient care and the training of their sisters and employees with the State’s gender ideology.”

If the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne do not comply, they face fines up to $2,000 per violation — rising to $5,000 — court-ordered forced compliance, loss of licensing and up to one year in prison and fines up to $10,000.

In their lawsuit, the sisters highlighted that during the four-year reporting period from Feb. 1, 2022, through Jan. 31, 2026, the New York State Department of Health had received “zero complaints” from Rosary Hill Home residents, compared with “more than 55,000 complaints against other nursing homes,” and an average of 23 citations per facility during the same period.

Episode 1190 – Digging Deep to Find Racism!

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Talks with Iran may begin again this week.

The Donald Trump and Pope Leo are having a tiff. I have some thoughts.

And have you mowed your lawn this week? If you did, you are a racist!

News

Here is some news:

  • Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran could restart as soon as Thursday this week after President Donald Trump imposed a blockade on Iranian ports.
  • A fragile truce between Tehran and Washington remains in place as leaders attempt to negotiate a wider deal.
  • I do have some comments about the Pope Leo/Donald Trump kurfuffle.
  • President Joe Biden’s administration relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters, shocking emails released Tuesday by the Trump administration show.

Do Any of These Guys Take Any Personal Responsibility?

According to the Daily Wire:

Maine Democrat Graham Platner, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine, faced backlash for his Nazi-symbol tattoo and several nasty social media posts — and during a recent interview, he attributed both on the “culture” that he was exposed to while serving in the United States military.

Platner, who served both in the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, got the tattoo covered up after the initial public outcry, appeared on “The Takeout with Major Garrett” — and he argued that the “hyper-masculine” culture in the infantry had “colored” his perspective in the past.

So military culture, hyper-masculinity (toxic masculinity), and hyper-violence caused him to be a racist and get a Nazi tattoo. Hmm, OK.

Also, he admits that he’s a racist. And he decided not to be a racist and get rid of that tattoo after he decided to run for the Senate.

Makes absolute sense to me. Let’s vote for him.

By the way, he wouldn’t be the first Democrat that was a racist.

Dumbass of the Day

According to the Post Millennial:

A woke TikTok user is facing widespread backlash online after posting a video arguing that maintaining a well-kept lawn is tied to racism. 

The user, @softchaoschannel, shared a video on Monday on TikTok, saying, “I can’t stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and like, based in white supremacy.” 

Um, so keeping a nice lawn is white supremacy? Does that mean blacks and other people of color don’t like nice lawn (I know that’s not true)?

Why is a well-kept lawn racist? Is it because blacks are incapable to keep lawn well manicured?

Probably. The Left already tells us blacks can’t be on time, can’t work hard, can’t get IDs, can’t get into colleges and so forth.

This is the bigotry of low expectations. This is racism. This is the true white supremacy. All infront of her nice house and, probably, well-manacured lawn.
