Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Ordinary Time: June 22nd
Monday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of St. John Fisher, Bishop (1469-1535) and St. Thomas More (1478-1535), Martyrs. John Fisher studied Theology in Cambridge (England) and became Bishop of Rochester. His friend, Thomas More, wrote of him, ‘I reckon in this realm no one man, in wisdom, learning and long approved virtue together, meet to be matched and compared with him.’ Thomas More was born in London, England and was Chancellor of King Henry VIII. As a family man and a public servant, his life was a rare synthesis of human sensitivity and Christian wisdom. They gave up their lives in testimony to the unity of the Church and to the indissolubility of Marriage.
St. Thomas More
His belief that no lay ruler has jurisdiction over the church of Christ cost Thomas More his life. Beheaded on Tower Hill, London, July 6, 1535, he steadfastly refused to approve Henry VIII’s divorce and remarriage and establishment of the church of England. Described as “a man for all seasons,” More was a literary scholar, eminent lawyer, gentleman, father of four children and chancellor of England. An intensely spiritual man, he would not support the king’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Nor would he acknowledge Henry as supreme head of the church in England, breaking with Rome and denying the pope as head.
More was committed to the Tower of London to await trial for treason: not swearing to the Act of Succession and the Oath of Supremacy. Upon conviction, More declared he had all the councils of Christendom and not just the council of one realm to support him in the decision of his conscience.
Four hundred years later, in 1935, Thomas More (along with John Fisher) was canonized a saint of God by Pope Pius XI. Few saints are more relevant to our time. In fact, in 2000, Pope St. John Paul II named him patron of political leaders. The supreme diplomat and counselor, Thomas More did not compromise his own moral values in order to please the king, knowing that true allegiance to authority is not blind acceptance of everything that authority wants. Henry himself realized this and tried desperately to win his chancellor to his side because he knew More was a man whose approval counted, a man whose personal integrity no one questioned. But when More resigned as chancellor, unable to approve the two matters that meant most to Henry, the king felt he had to get rid of him.
St. John Fisher
John Fisher is usually associated with Erasmus, Thomas More and other Renaissance humanists. His life, therefore, did not have the external simplicity found in the lives of some saints. Rather, he was a man of learning, associated with the intellectuals and political leaders of his day. He was interested in contemporary culture and eventually became chancellor at Cambridge. He had been made a bishop at thirty-five, and one of his interests was raising the standard of preaching in England. Fisher himself was an accomplished preacher and writer. His sermons on the penitential psalms were reprinted seven times before his death.
He and Thomas More refused to take an oath to the new Act of Succession because the Act presumed the legality of Henry VIII’s divorce and his claim to be head of the English church. They were sent to the Tower of London, where Fisher remained fourteen months without trial. They were finally sentenced to life imprisonment and loss of goods.
When the two were called to further interrogations, they remained silent. Fisher was tricked, on the supposition he was speaking privately as a priest, and declared again that the king was not supreme head. The king, further angered that the pope had made John Fisher a cardinal, had him brought to trial on the charge of high treason.
Fisher met death with a calm dignified courage which profoundly impressed all present. His headless body was stripped and left on the scaffold till evening, when it was thrown naked into a grave in the churchyard of Allhallows, Barking. Thence it was removed a fortnight later and laid beside that of Thomas More in the church of St. Peter ad Vincula by the Tower.
For its part, Fisher’s head was stuck upon a pole on London Bridge, but its ruddy and lifelike appearance excited so much attention that, after a fortnight, it was thrown into the Thames, its place being taken by that of Thomas More, whose martyrdom occurred two weeks after Fisher’s. More’s head, after being parboiled, was exposed on London Bridge for a month when Margaret Roper bribed the man, whose business it was to throw it into the river, to give it to her instead. The final fate of the relic is somewhat uncertain, but in 1824 a leaden box was found in the Roper vault at St. Dunstan’s, Canterbury, which on being opened was found to contain a head presumed to be More’s.
Two great men, martyrs of the faith.
O God, who in martyrdom
have brought true faith to its highest expression,
graciously grant
that, strengthened through the intercession
of Saints John Fisher and Thomas More,
we may confirm by the witness of our life
the faith we profess with our lips.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
St. Thomas More

☘️
Holy men shed their glorious blood for the Lord;
they loved Christ in their life,
they imitated him in their death,
and therefore were crowned in triumph.

the 2nd law of thermodynamics enables life.
We are organisms that ride that increase in entropy. Speeding it up. We speed it up by spending energy to organize energy.
Neat isn’t it? We appear to break the law by organizing energy, decreasing entropy, but we spend more energy to do so, actually increasing entropy.
All life depends on this law. One of the wonders of God’s creation.
Also, this drives atheist physicists crazy. Creation had to be incredibly organized at the beginning to make this possible. The odds against it are so mind numbingly large that there is no conceivable way that it can be chance. Those odds make monkeys banging on typewriters a sure thing to write Shakespeare and tornados a sure thing to erect skyscrapers. Read a tome arguing that there must be an equally mind numbingly large amount of alternate Universes where life can’t exist just for our universe to exist. Just crazy.
I believe in the doctrine of election because it’s clearly laid out in Scripture from the OT to the NT.
Apart from Scripture, the greatest, most thorough work to read on that subject?

Israel Update:
I will start with a big thank you. Thank you for tolerating my latest updates. I have been harsh and angry including at Trump himself. I expected major and nasty reactions and it was not the case aside for one that I can waste. It tells me that you are good people who can listen and discuss with fairness. Today I am less angry but still sarcastic. But I think this one is closer to my old self with more information and less talk.
~God may be in action on those who cursed us and mainly those who recognized the Pale-Satan imaginary Wonderland State:
Spain: Our biggest hater in Europe, the antisemite Prime Minister of Spain just had his wife under a serious trial for corruption, illegal trade, embezzlement, etc…She is prohibited from leaving Spain. And tell me that he didn’t know. The Progressive Globalist who was all busy with Hamas Propaganda and is pushing to legalize half a million illegal muslim immigrants to get votes, is projected to crush in the elections (2027) and a Right wing candidate is leading the poles. One who is sympathetic to Israel.
England: The big fat zero Prime Minister of England, Satanmer, sorry I meant Starmer who recognized the Pale-Satan nation of Wonderland and has had his part of making England look and be like Afghanistan, is crushing and is projected to retire in a day or few, with God’s help. It is not known if he will actually leave for sure but his latest poll number is 13% support. The UK has no room to hospitalize the poor 13% as the hospitals have been all converted to mosques. LOL
Nigel Farage is leading the polls. Much more sympathetic to Israel and opposed the recognition of
The Pale-Stan of Wonderland.
Columbia: The President of Columbias who is the worst hater of Israel in that continent who yelled and smeared and said he is willing to go fight the IDF, just had Cancer in the esophagus area. It was removed and he had a mass removal from his face that eventually turned out to be not cancer. Columbia is facing a massive crisis. Rising violence and insurgency, drugs trafficking, etc… Dozens of massacres and hundreds of deaths linked to armed groups were reported in 2026.
Elections are near and President Gostuvo who also recognized the Pale-Satan of Wonderland has a term limit. The new Presidents was actually elected pending final approval and is a strong supporter of Israel and is saying he wants to move the embassy to Jerusalem. The Progressive globalist worm is going home to recover.
~Aside for Brazil all of South America is now strong pro Israel. This must be used to enhance economic projects and ties. We are heading to a Trillion Dollars GDP despite of the toughest few years. Once we reach that number we will be officially one of the 10 strongest economies in the world despite our small size of 10 million people only. Per Capita we are likely to be in the leading five.
Slovenia: The new Government is supper pro Israel in a complete opposition to the vile previous one and they are now discussing on moving the embassy to Jerusalem. The leader visited Israel and they are now into major economic collaboration. They are in the Evil Institution of the EU and said they will veto anti Israel votes. One is enough in the EU for a veto.
Somaliland: This is a new nation that Israel pushed into existance. No joke. In Somaliland they will learn Hebrew in some elementary schools. They say “Israel is the future and we want to be there”. They opened the embassy in Jerusalem. They are muslims and are driving the Muslim world berserk. As a note they are located quite close to the Houthis if you wondered why we pushed for their independence. We will be able to act from there if needed. And not too far from Iran. We have a proxy LOL.
The Lead Prosecutor of the ICC (International Criminal Court) Karim Khan from, the lost island of England, who issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu, the Defense Minister and Chief of Staff (for war crimes) is in deep trouble.
He was accused of “sexual misconduct” by a former staff member under him. This is one of the biggest scandals in the history of the ICC. I investigated Chat GPT about “sexual misconduct” , it was “unwanted sexual advances”, “unwanted touching and sexual encounters”. To say it short the man is suspected rapist. And he pushed the verdict fast, he was supposed to travel to Israel to hear the other side and he didn’t. He rushed. There are reports that she delayed her complaints to enable the “suspected rapist” to declare the verdicts. Did I mention that he is a Muslim?
Chile: Had elections in 2025 and elected one of the most pro Israel Presidents in South America. The previous President was a very vocal critic of Israel. The earlier one also stated his recognition of the
Pale-Satan State of Wonderland.
Turkey: Another one who is trying to lead the Israel hate in the world and is a host of Hamas is in a deep dive. 25-30% inflation. Since 2010 the Turkish Lira currency lost 97% of its value. High interest rates are hurting businesses. The recent oil crisis is hurting their economy even more. Their GDP is still high. We shall see the destiny of Erdogan the hater.
South Africa who led the “genocide” claims against Israel in another court is also in trouble. Unemployment around 30%. One of the highest crime rates in the world. Chronic electricity problems. Slow economic growth. Significant corruption scandals over the last decade. Murders of white farmers.
Israel: There is a very nice birth rate in the Jewish population, amongst the highest in the West. Half a million to 700,000 new voters are expected in the upcoming elections. While productive religious jews lead the way (conservatives) the Arabs have a decline. Unlike what the Liberal fake media is saying that the left is on the lead, 18-22 years old are clearly right wing inclined.
~Tel Aviv is now number four in the world in ecosystems for startups. This means a great location to find investors and open startups.
~After the “terrorist in a suit” the wanted Al Qaeda leader who is the President of Syria noticed the American capitulation and after Trump lifted his sanctions in Syria, he is now saying that “no way he is going to fight Hezbollah”. This is a response to Trump’s latest idea of letting him do it. He said he will talk with Lebanon and Hezbollah. LOL.
~Israel located a huge massive underground base in south Lebanon. It’s all in rocks and some areas you can drive large trucks in there. It had large numbers of anti tanks missiles and drones. It is a few miles from our south border. It has multiple number of shafts from which you can aim missies to Israel. I just watched a reporter visiting the area and walking with a commander. The commander is saying that every second building has massive amounts of weapons and munitions. If you wondered why Israel is there at all and why it gets demolished. If Israel withdraws they will recreate underground attack cities by our borders again.
~The Regime said it closed Hormuz. Trump woke up furious and threatened them badly. As I said, they are now trying to make Israel stop or withdraw in Lebanon. Trump posted that Hezbollah must stop attacking Israel. He took our side this time. But I am hearing reports of intense American pressure to withdraw from Lebanon (not verified).
Prime Minister Netanyahu said today that “He is not going to withdraw from the buffer zone in Lebanon until our North citizens are safe. This means Hezbollah is dismantled. But the deal is saying that there will be a ceasefire. A huge mistake to let Iran connect the Lebanon area with Iran. Israel can’t have a ceasefire with the terror organization. We just managed to reduce their missile inventory from over a hundred thousands to a small number. Our cities were under grave risk and the Beeper operation and killing their leaders and targeting the missiles was successful. We can’t let them grow again.
~So after we had casualties and we are in a battle on their key headquarters of south Lebanon and they are losing, Iran is negotiating in Zurich an Israeli withdraw or ceasefire. They are using the US as leverage aginst the IDF. The leader of Hezbollah just praised the mighty Iranian victory over the US and he is certain that the US can be made to force Israel out of Lebanon. Our soldiers are still limited in the depth of which they can attack.
~After Trump posted threats against Iran this morning. The Iranian delegation wanted to humiliate his team and him and walked out of the meeting in Switzerland. Iran is demanding that Trump will apologise. LOL
Later on they returned to negotiate. There are no handshakes with Americans.
~VP Vance is with Kushner and Witkoff in Switzerland with Pakistan, Qatar and Iran.
Qatar and Pakistan are declared enemies of Israel not to mention Iran. Vance is on video saying how he loves Pakistan. Not long ago the Defense Minister of Pakistan called Israel a cancer. The Qataris are even worse.
Note: Witkoff and Kushner are from our own tribe- Jewish. They are deeply involved in this fiasco. They are endangering our very existance. And I will quote from the Book of Ester, Mordecai is warning Ester who is the wife of the leader of the Persians who threatened to anahilate the Jews:
“Do not think that because you are in the King’s house you alone of all Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish.”
And this is for being silent. Kushner and Witkoff are leading the moves along with the VP.
Kushner has significant financial ties to Qatar through his investment firm Affinity Partners. I am talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of Qatari money. Qatar had significant financial ties to Witkoff. He had a troubled hotel with significant debts and couldn’t sell. Qatar bought it for $623 millions getting him out of a potential bankruptcy.
While Witkoff is secular, Kushner is religious. They are going to have a special place in Hell if this deal continue and cost blood or our young soldiers. It will guaranty perpetual wars again with Iran and Hezbollah if we can’t conclude our operations. Israel is cornered and restrained on its security needs. This doesn’t look good.
~The US is saying that there is still traffic in the Straits but slower. Some reports say it is closed. I can’t tell. Iran is in control.
~President of Iran: “All the clauses of the MOU are in our advantage and the achievements of the negotiations will become apparent.” Note: True, they got it all. How on earth?
~The Chairman of the Iranian Parliment the “moderate rational who was close behind the murder of tens of thousands of Iranian protesters is also a key negotiator : “The American threats are a show off, they have to accept all our demands”.
~Leader of Hezbollah:
Iran showed the American enemy who controls the Middle East and closed Hormuz for us. The status of the US in the Middle East is over.
We will not accept an Israeli presence in Lebanon nor freedom to operate.
The project of eliminating Hezbollah has failed now we will start the project of eliminating Israel.
The Lebanese delegation in Washington (peace negotiations Israel/Lebanon) must return home, it is serving Israel and the US, we will not agree, we are deciding on Lebanon”.
Note that I mentioned earlier that Lebanon was given to Hezbollah on a plater. The MOU says that Israel is in a ceasefire. The MOU is protecting Hezbollah. I have to mention that Hezbollah murdered 243 Marins in Beirut with a suicide attack and now the ex-Marine Vance is protecting them.
~Progress on the black list. Another terrorist who participated in 10/7 and held one of our hostages was eliminated. This list is getting shorter every week.
Conclusion:
Overall Trump’s threats are no longer taken seriously because he threatened before about 40 times, counted. The purpose of the deal was oil and economy, no nukes and the Midterm elections. This divided the Republican public and representatives and is more likely to crush the Midterm than help. They are still opposing giving out the nuclear material and they now learned the power of blocking the Starit.
Iran appears loyal to its proxies and the US appears money motivated with no loyalty to its allies.
The consequences are yet to be seen but the Divine aspect may be the prominent one. Will God change the heart of Trump or will punishments begin. This is how I see it.
May God be merciful and guide our leaders to do what is right for the long term.
Hi David,
Glad you’re back 🙏
Your friend,
Dan
Thank you Dan!❤️
The YAMAM is our number one counter terror unit with a specialty of hostage rescue. They are under the police and are graduates of elite IDF units who completed their military service and passed the new selection and YAMAM training. When there is a mission against known and most dangerous terrorists the YAMAM is on the job. There were a few hostage rescue operations in Gaza and they were allocated to the jobs ahead of the IDF.
This is a new recruit video.
David,
I too am glad to have you back.
Kushner and Witkoff’s interests are truly concerning. As I said yesterday, it’s time to double down.
Thank you,
Jeff
Thank you Jeff.
Sundance had a post yesterday on the Colombian election:
Earlier this week President Trump endorsed Espirella stating on social media: “Colombian Presidential Candidate, “El Tigre (THE TIGER),” Abelardo de la Espriella, is a Smart, Strong, and Tough Leader, who fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/06/21/columbia-presidential-election-underway-abelardo-de-la-espriella-vs-ivan-cepeda/
There is a lot of violence in that country.
I think of my husband’s cousin who married a man from Colombia. She was pregnant with twin boys. He punched her in the belly and she lost her boys. Later, she was found murdered. It’s been over 5 years and still no justice. Watched her grow up. She was about my daughter’s age. Such a sweet person.
What a terrible story. I am so sorry for the family.
I don’t think it’s fair to say
”the US appears money motivated with no loyalty to its allies.“
I understand how you feel but Vance just signed to release frozen Iranian assets (dollars) and a lift on oil sanctions for a period.
The “:deal” has restricted our forces from offensive actions against Hezbollah that has made the life of our North citizens a hell. They decided on a ceasefire without consulting us and this has already cost us in blood.
Vance just launched the reconstruction plan of the murderous regime of Iran, that part of the “deal” that suppose to give them 300 billion dollars in investments of various nations. This will rebuild their missile program and arm all of Israel enemies that will cost the blood of our sons who will end up in a war against it. Obama gave them 1.7 billions. Now we are talking about other orders of magnitudes.
And Israel is suppose to obey to all of that with Vance on TV bulling Israel and threatening Israel to obey and say nothing or else.
If this is not “no loyalty to allies” what is?
And why is all of that? Economy, gas prices.
Sorry, for us it’s about the life of our sons and grandsons and daughters who will have to fight and some die against the consequences of a rich Iran.
Everyone in the Middle East is watching and seeing this. This is not about the sales pitch of VP Vance who lied to his teeth the whole week and hide the MOU and shunned Israel from even seeing it. And yes he lied all week long saying that the leaks about the MOU are propoganda and lies and it turned out to be 100% accurate. And he is in a press conference lying and saying that Iran gets nothing if it doesn’t behave and today he approved huge amount of money to their hands.
And they are asserting their right to anahilate Israel and to rebuild Hamas and Hezbollah so how is that a good behavior? It’s like giving billions to Hitler. So I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but this is what the Trump Administration is doing. And you can see my Rumble channel “LastRefugeDavid”. In the last weeks this Administration is trashing Israel and its leaders and praising Qatar and Pakistan and even Iran – the enemies of your ally Israel. This is so astaounding that some here are thinking that it is not possible and it’s all a trick that Trump is playing on Iran. But this is a speculation. Not an observable reality.
I believe in “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you”. Bible.
And I have had it well documented. It is all along history. The US has been on the “bless side” since many decades. As of the past few weeks it shifted. Shalom
You said plural “allies “
You can paint a broad brush like that.
Do you know the so called allies
that the American taxpayers subsidized
their defence and would not let President Trump
use their airspace or our bases fighting Iran.
Taxpayers have subsidized NATO for decades.
and the UN and more.
We have just started tariffs on our so called loyal allies
after decades of tariffs from them. This raped our country
and most of our industry and jobs went overseas.
yes, allies saying it’s about money,
our money going to ingrates called allies.
God is regathering Israel. Let’s help them.
When is said allies I referred to Israel. We just fought shoulder to shoulder , we risked the lives of Mossad agents and Israeli Special Forces to help rescue the American Colonel who was shot down in Iran.
That would be ally
David: I am glad to see you here, everyone’s point of view is helpful to try and make sense of what is going on.
I do not pretend to understand all the twists and turns of government. However it became clear to me long ago that our government schools were using teaching methods that confuse and demoralize children who are trying to learn to read, since the 1950s at least.
The medical/vaccine protocols are also destructive. The developers know that many infants die or become handicapped soon after injections. I helped care for a non-verbal teen who had begun screaming and banging his head, along with his formerly normal toddler twin brother, within a day of MMR vaccination. I can only conclude that we are ruled by hostile powers.
I do not blame our losses on any other ethnicity or nation, but rather on greed, dishonesty and psychopaths elevated to high positions. We have many in the Unites States, and Israel surely also has unelected criminals at work. They are everywhere.
I do not judge President Trump and his manuevers. The psycho opposition has been trying to murder or destroy him since he achieved the Republican nomination in 2015. I cannot imagine navigating in his position.
I only pray that God will help us all, the ordinary people of America and Israel, Itan and everywhere else
“Iran” not “itan”
(And China.
And Russia
And those poor people in Ukraine, and so many other places with corrupt devastating governments)

Thanks for posting these daily obituaries of the past. They invoke many memories of simpler times.
Our Cairn Terrier, Sally, passed away two years ago. They are wonderful little dogs. They are not lap dogs, but what characters they are and a lot of fun. I can’t listen to “Over the Rainbow” but I love the song.
West Highlands, Terry, the Cairn bitch that played Toto, appeared in several movies and made $125 a week! More than some human actors.
She did her own stunts and was the dam of at least one other movie dog.
I had a nice book about her but I gave it to a Wiz fan.
I know you miss your baby as Cairn owners I know say they would never have any other breed.
Terrier lovers are special people as terriers can be challenging.
Yes, Truli, I have the book written about Terry, I Toto. Probably the one you had. I have had Westies and Cairns and when I was much younger a Collie and a Beagle. Love them all but yes Terriers can be a bit stubborn, but I love their spirit. They always want to have their nose to the ground. I guess that is why they are called Earth Dogs A reputable breeder will not let them go to a home with an electric fence because if they are chasing something, they will go right through it!
I am a terrier appreciater!
Fostered a JR bitch for a few months.
I wanted to keep her but my husband was used to well trained Labs
and could not understand.
I found her a perfect home where she was their ‘dream dog’.
Clive Davis, the music executive who rose from a midlevel legal position at Columbia Records to become one of the industry’s most powerful and longest-reigning dons, guiding the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow and dozens of other stars, died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 94.
Thanks, added to the list, not currently on my usual source site tho… yet anyway.
From tonight’s Townhall site. Edits mine . . .
It’s time to take a hard look at the memorandum of understanding (MOU) and to think about it objectively. On one hand, it is not the utter catastrophe that a lot of people – people who largely agree with my position that we should be actively destroying these goat-molesting, pagan semi-humans – think it is. On the other hand, it’s a crap sandwich, and there’s no need to take a bite and announce that it’s “Yummy.” It is not yummy, but it might be the best we can hope for today.
The adult world is full of bad choices. If there were some sort of easy solution to this conflict, it would’ve likely been solved long ago. But there isn’t. There are no optimal courses of action. There are only various levels of suboptimal courses of action. Once we, like adults, accept that, we can move forward.
First, let’s examine what the MOU is. It’s more of a pause, an interregnum, or even a halftime (as my friend Hugh Hewitt calls it). This isn’t going to be the end of the 50-year war with the Iranian mullahs. Nobody thinks that, including Donald Trump, no matter what he says.
Like every experienced negotiator, Donald Trump is never going to publicly say what he actually thinks, and anyone expecting him to is a child and unworthy of your attention. This agreement will not end the war because the war is rooted in an irresolvable dispute.
These 17th-century savages are religious fanatics who believe that their fake Mahdi is going to crawl out of a well or something and blah blah blah blah blah. The bottom line is they can’t tolerate the existence of the Jewish state, or the West, or anybody whose culture isn’t run by people who shouldn’t be allowed within 1,000 feet of a school.
The only way this war is going to end is when one side is fully and completely defeated. So this is not peace. This is a hudna, a temporary truce that both sides exploit to prepare to resume fighting. If you can’t accept that we are at war with Islamic fanatics, I can’t help you
Should be 7th century savages.

Japan worrying about tourism overload announces a five fold increase in foreign visitor visa fees starting July 1.
The new visa fee is ¥15,000.
Almost 43 million foreign visitors entered Japan last year alone.
https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/world/2026/6/22/japan-to-raise-visa-fees-for-foreigners-5-fold-starting-july-1223
japan’s probably popular because it’s safe. Odds of getting beheaded are quite low.
Jake, Gus no longer takes me to ‘De Home of de Po’ as he calls it ’cause he knows we will need 2 buggies and a cart.
Better than being a Brit, Canadian, Australian, or a large number of others that are living under tyrannical governments right now.
Looks like the perfect picnic to me. No one is going to bother that family, not even the ants.
A little after lunch target shooting would be fun too.
Of course not.
That kid shouldn’t be pointing his at his mom! Without proper training, nobody respects those things.
Love that the dog has one. And who wouldn’t want to be able to shoot down the fuzz during a car chase?
He seems to be pointing to the side to me. Hard to tell in one dimension. Would be more likely his sister if he was pointing at anyone.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
O God, you have rejected us and broken our defenses;
you have been angry; rally us!
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
You have rocked the country and split it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
You have made your people feel hardships;
you have given us stupefying wine.
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
Have not you, O God, rejected us,
so that you go not forth, O God, with our armies?
Give us aid against the foe,
for worthless is the help of men.
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”
People are out of control in this country. One has to wonder why? And Florida always seems in the forefront for some reason.
Pickleball Game Turns Bloody After Woman Allegedly Uses Paddle As ‘Deadly Weapon’ To Attack Another Player, Police Say
https://dailycaller.com/2026/06/22/pickleball-bloody-game-woman-paddle-weapon-police/
A woman, 47, from St. Augustine, Florida has been hit with a severe felony charge following police saying that she attacked another pickleball player at Treaty Park, allegedly doing so with a paddle while an argument was happening.
Facing an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge, the woman claimed to investigators that she came to the defense of her son amid an argument with the alleged victim.
With that being said, per statements that were gathered from the victim and witnesses via News4JAX, police say in the arrest report that her son seemingly wasn’t in any danger throughout the episode.
An orthopedic nurse, the woman also faces a misdemeanor charge of giving a false ID to law enforcement.
What is up with these supposed angels of mercy turning violent?
Can you really kill somebody with a pickle ball paddle?
Violent and bloody, no mention of death.
Once again all the nasty weather and tornadoes passed south of my Indiana home. In fact all the nasty stuff was south of Indy. We got plenty of rain but nothing super heavy. Didn’t take the flags down or bring in the the trash cans or potted plants this time. Did part the old pickup under the overhang though.
I got my yard mowed yesterday and burned off the big pile of sticks, cardboard, and waste wood in my fire pit during a period when the persistent winds finally laid for a couple hours before the rain came.
Good to hear, rah.

There is no negotiating any deal with the IRGC.

case in point:
how the hell did PresTrump’s negotiating team let Lebanon get tied into what’s supposed to be a US-Iran cease fire?
so that now, the status of the ceasefire depends on what Hizbollah mischief-makers stir up in Lebanon?
what the hell kind of “negotiating” is that?
my view is that there was little to “negotiate” beyond the terms of Iran’s unconditional surrender

Rush used to poke sarcasm st the news reporting of vehicles that took it upon themselves to crash – as though the driver had nothing to do with the outcome.,
Did you see the weekend news? A Tesla ran amok, crashed into a house and committed murder.
What would Rush say?
At least it wasn’t an SUV?
The left moved on and have to demonize something else. Saw an article talking about how all the people deifying Obama at his memorial were celebrating the very monster that they demonized to get Obama elected. ‘W’. But now Trump is the demon. And they can unite with their old demon as long as they are uniting to demonize Trump and glorify Obama.
Demonizing others is an important part of how the left motivates their people. Don’t want the people realizing that their problems really come from the left.

Verse of the Day for Monday, June 22, 2026
✟
“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”
Psalms 125:3 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 125
The security of the righteous. (1-3) Prayer for them, The ruin of the wicked. (4,5)
1-3 All those minds shall be truly stayed, that are stayed on God. They shall be as Mount Zion, firm as it is; a mountain supported by providence, much more as a holy mountain supported by promise. They cannot be removed from confidence in God. They abide for ever in that grace which is the earnest of their everlasting continuance in glory. Committing themselves to God, they shall be safe from their enemies. Even mountains may moulder and come to nothing, and rocks be removed, but God’s covenant with his people cannot be broken, nor his care of them cease. Their troubles shall last no longer than their strength will bear them up under them. The rod of the wicked may come, may fall upon the righteous, upon their persons, their estates, their liberties, their families names, on any thing that falls to their lot; only it cannot reach their souls. And though it may come upon their lot, it shall not rest thereon. The Lord will make all work together for their good. The wicked shall only prove a correcting rod, not a destroying sword; even this rod shall not remain upon them, lest they distrust the promise, thinking God has cast them off.
4,5 God’s promises should quicken our prayers. The way of holiness is straight; there are no windings or shiftings in it. But the ways of sinners are crooked. They shift from one purpose to another, and turn hither and thither to deceive; but disappointment and misery shall befal them. Those who cleave to the ways of God, though they may have trouble in their way, their end shall be peace. The pleading of their Saviour for them, secures to them the upholding power and preserving grace of their God. Lord, number us with them, in time, and to eternity.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.

MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Is your brain close to being fried
Can you believe how much they lied
Can you imagine what they did
The evil they devised and kept hid
Is this a military operation
That is really running our nation
Or is it a God-centered blessing
That will leave the enemy confessing
They claim we are in an information war
Well if that is true what is the score
How far are we interdictory
How close are we to victory
Our patience it is wearing thin
As we traverse thru the storm we’re in
How close are we to the end
Of this horror movie penned
There is one thing that is certain
The drawing of the veiled curtain
As their evil plot it thickens
From dark to light it quickens
The battlefield has forever been
Between good and evil from within
The imbalance caused by ignorance
Left us all shrink-wrapped in a trance
Until we awakened right on cue
We had no idea of what to do
Our daily agony just lengthened
Until we gathered and strengthened
Infiltrated extensively to the max
With enemy operatives in packs
Mesmerized imbibed and bribed
By the powers of darkness ascribed
Only God can disband this formidable foe
One that travels back and forth to and fro
That inhabits weak unsuspecting hosts
That of his successes he often boasts
The remnant petitioned the Throne of Grace
To bombard the enemy and deter his pace
With fire, fury and force He will outpace
With His Army of Angels He will displace
As pharaoh in his arrogance He smote
The Corrupt Cabal will miss the boat
We will be free as He meant us to be
God will save America soon you’ll see

I never skip the intro when I’m watching a Twilight Zone episode-I want to savor every minute of a program that would predict our world in 2026.
… what’s the deal with this refelecting pool in DC?
Am I to understand that they fill it by pumping in water from the Potomac River?
You can’t do that – you’re also pumping in plankton and micro-algae and nutrients that are in the river
You’ll get the same kind of standing algae stock that’s in the river that makes it look murky
You’ve got to treat the lagoon like a big residential swimming pool
You have to fill it with filtered and disinfected city water and have it regularly treated with anti-fouling pool chemicals and continuously recirculated through pool filters
Am I misunderstanding? I mainly heard single mention on TV news about refilling it with river water after it had been drained and given the bottom coating
So what’s the deal?
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool requires regular cleaning and maintenance to control algae growth and ensure water quality. This includes using treatments like hydrogen peroxide and ozone technology, as well as periodic draining and scrubbing to remove sediment and organic matter.
Maintenance of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
