Trump and His Address to the Nation Have More Than Been Vindicated.
This past week New Jersey governor Mikie Sherill admits over 6600 illegals were registered to vote and nearly 400 voted in the 2024 presidential election. First off I believe the numbers are drastically lower than the actual numbers, but the bottom line is 400 U.S. citizens votes were nullified and one is too many. In a state like New Jersey where 600,000 illegals reside, you’d have to be ignorant to believe only 400 illegals voted. Throughout our voting systems, where there are razor thin voting total successes and failures every vote matters!
Look at the consequences that happened in New York just yesterday. New York, which refuses to hand over their voter roles, and where we know illegals by the thousands are voting, elected a Ugandan communist, Mamdani. Yesterday shows us the result of dirty elections. Or in Minnesota where congress woman Ilhan Omar was swept into power by illegal Somalians voting. This has massive negative implications for instance, with the Save Act. When we have thousands of illegal aliens purposely put into one city, voting in our elections, it turns into the corruption of governance and legislation being implemented or like in the case of the Save Act, legislation being killed in congress. This is all the result of dirty elections and let’s be honest, it’s about the Biden’s who took billions in bribe money from China, which again links Beijing to corrupting our voting systems. It’s all part of the communist/democrat plan to take down America and honestly the west.
As Trump inferred in his address, without clean elections, the most fundamental part of our constitutional republic, where the citizen elects individuals to represent them at the government level, has been stolen from us. This is another of the thousand slashes deployed to destroy America. The “democrat” “replacement theory” is in part a massive scale voter nullification scheme that we all have been forced to live under. The Save Act failed to pass in the senate by 2 votes.
When I renew my driver's license, I am subject to close examination for potential mental degradation and signs of physical impairment. Then I am closely examined for my ability to drive my car safely. I just keep wondering why the left is continually protecting their illegal supporters who do not have to be examined for their capacity to function normally and follow the rules of this republic.
Including their ability to drive safely! How many accidents have they caused because they can’t read signs? I know someone who was hit because the other driver actually said that she didn’t know what a stop sign meant. That was in New Jersey.
Driver training in many countries is non existent. In some places crash investigation for fatal accidents is minimal or sketchy at best. Cart the injured away, move the wreck out of the road and continue on. The attitude of many about how to drive or what is safe, especially if raised outside the US, is VERY different.
You’re right. I lived in Nigeria a very long time ago, and the roadsides were littered with gutted wrecked cars and trucks. They also liked playing chicken, seeing who would swerve out of the way first.
Maybe things will change when our wonderful governor, Janet Mills, leaves office, though I'm not hopeful with the choices in November. People didn't like LePage but he left office with a budget in the black. How long did it take the Dems to wipe that out? Six weeks, was it?
I believe that the lack of voter ID and electronic meddling have had an effect on our elections for years. I just can't make myself think that voters are that stupid. Of course, I live in North Maine, so there is that.
My career was in computer tech, until I retired many years ago, but even then it was easy to manipulate the new voting machines that became all the rage. And why shouldn't they? It's simplicity itself to ensure that a quick swap takes place and the "best" guy wins. Plebes are just not able to govern themselves, y'know?
NYC had only like 8% of its registered voters actually vote In its last election. It was the blue haired communists who elected Mamdani. Like the lyric in the song by Rush says “if you choose not to vote you still have made a choice”.
I misspoke. It was the primaries that produced low turnout and was enough to get the commies as the only candidates to vote for. Sorry. Thanks for The correction
Hey James, if you don’t see me posting comments for a while, it just means I need a break.
Been through one surgery and facing another—it’s difficult to focus on my personal recovery and the woes of the world—it can be overwhelming at times, and I figure Jesus can bear those things much better than I can, so I’ll cast all my cares upon him, because he cares for me. I’ll stick my head out of my turtle shell ever so often. Keep up the encouraging words. 🙂
Thank You CQL! I pray for a quick recovery for you and hope today you are on the mend. I posted this last Sunday, I hope you will read and enjoy it!
Sometimes even when we are at our lowest, in a valley, when things seem the worst, realize it can be a lesson, with growth, a valley of blessing.
David said in psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd he leads me by the still waters he leads me to the green pastures. When life is going our way, we like this part of the passage. But then it says, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he was saying the same God that leads you to green pastures and still waters sometimes will lead you to the valley. You may not understand it but if it was not going to work, God would never have allowed it.
When you face tough times you have to remind yourself God would not be leading you to that valley if there was only loss, defeat and heart ache. There’s a purpose for the valley, not to hinder you but to help you. Not to hold you back, but to push you forward. Not to weaken you but to make you stronger. Now the key is your attitude in the valley. If we are negative bitter discouraged we can go through the valley and never see the blessings.
Proverbs say the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord. We must keep our faith. When you encounter a valley sometimes it’s not because you’ve done something wrong, it could be you’ve done something right. God is ready to promote you but the way he’s going to do it is to take you through the valley.
If we look over the past 10 years we watched doors open in 2016, and doors close in 2020. For 5 years we went through a valley. Know we would never be where we are today without what took place then. Covid, Joe Biden, his administration, Dr. Fauci, was it easy, pleasant or nice? NO, but that valley created other doors to open in November of 2024. We have been through the valley, and with prayer, faith, open eyes and persistence we have come out stronger. I believe New Jersey voter fraud may turn into a blessing, we will see.
Bitterness can blind us to the blessing, while faith and persistence help you see purpose in the challenge. Valleys bring us closer to God. In the valleys we always gain something. We gain experience, we gain endurance. Our character is being developed. With every victory comes a new level of confidence. A challenge you face today may not make sense but in the future what you learn in the valley today will help you in the future.
When David was just a teenager he went out to face Goliath in the Valley of Elah. It wasn’t a coincidence that he was in the valley. Goliath was much bigger, stronger, had more experience, it looked impossible, like David didn’t have a chance, but again we see God turns a valley of defeat into a valley of blessing. David took out his slingshot and a stone, slung it hitting Goliath in the forehead knocking him out. He didn’t have a sword so he took Goliaths sword from his sheath and cut Goliath’s head off.
David came out of that valley not only with more experience, more confidence and respect, but he came out with the sword of Goliath. This battle in the valley of Elah was the beginning of David’s military and political activity, eventually leading him to the thrown. The Valley of Elah for David was a Valley of Blessing. Years later it was this very valley the Israelites led by David with Goliaths sword would defeat the Philistines and take this fertile valley.
It may not be tomorrow or even in 6 months, sometimes it can be years later, the lessons learned in our valleys turn to blessings in our life. Life’s valleys are a part of our spiritual journey of faith, where challenges become opportunities for growth and blessings.
We generally agree with you and Trump on the need for 100% clean elections. Of course we need clean elections!
We are 100% in favor of allowing only US Citizens to VOTE. However, some are reluctant to support the SAVE Act, possibly due to its inclusion of REAL ID as a proper form of identification. (And, of course, others want non-citizen voting because it guarantees a Communist or globalist takeover of America. They welcome Digital ID.)
Answer: Yes, the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) explicitly allows certain forms of identification issued consistent with the REAL ID Act of 2005 as one form of documentary proof of United States citizenship for voter registration. This is one of several acceptable options listed for proving citizenship. The bill does not broadly mandate or define “digital ID” but references REAL ID-compliant identification, which can include digital/electronic formats in some state implementations.
Direct quote from the bill text (Section 2, amending the definition):
‘‘(b) DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP.—As used in this Act, the term ‘documentary proof of United States citizenship’ means, with respect to an applicant for voter registration, any of the following:
At $165 for a new passport, one might understand the reluctance of certain sections of the population to be forced down that road, especially if they haven't the wherewithal to travel abroad. This is likely behind the DEMs' purported objections to it being proposed.
The reason the REAL ID is mentioned, because it clearly shows you are a citizen [by the I-9 form you submit, copy of certified birth certificate, and a Social Security number verification]. Before some states started issuing DLs to illegals a DL would do this also. It did what they called a Triple Check - Social Security Number check, outstanding driver warrants in other states, and a check with INS.
But that doesn't work anymore.
Without a REAL ID, you could submit all this paperwork to your local voter reg person.
I am not understanding your complaint about the REAL ID in the bill. Either way you prove your citizenship, you need these documents.
BTW, you only need to be a US citizen for Federal elections. State and local elections can make their own rules. All this according to the US Constitution.
We don't need the SAVE Act...we just need to enforce the US Constitution. Democrats, again, have us in a word game match.
Isn’t part of Thune’s job to negotiate with senators like Murkowski from Alaska? If the real ID is a problem, which I agree with you, change the bill, get it passed, and send it back to the house. Mirkowski’s concern is that rural people will have a hard time being able to vote so Thune needs to do his job and fix that problem, whatever it takes. Make her comfortable! I know you remember Obama Care, the democrats were giving away 12 lane bridges to nowhere to get it passed. They’re 2 votes short.
This - "As Trump inferred in his address, without clean elections, the most fundamental part of our constitutional republic, where the citizen elects individuals to represent them at the government level, has been stolen from us" True, James, it makes me sick, like this whole mess makes me feel sick, but there is hope. I'm sticking firm with President Trump and those surrounding him, that they know what they are doing and have a brilliant plan and more than just a chance for success. I like JD, but I'm leaning more toward Marco now. His personal experiences with communism, and immigration, his time in the Senate, his devotion to Jesus and Christianity, and the incredible, incredulous, experience(s) he is managing right now. There are videos going around on Truth Social by a couple of young men reading about George Washington, and learning how his Christian faith was totally ingrained in everything his did. He required all of his officers to be Christian, for example. In that regard, I heard a non-Christian speaker the other day saying that Christianity is necessary for good politics and for a successful civilized society. Not just in the moral sense, but yes that is a must, but also having the greater Power to answer to, and a Savior who overcame death, and who shows us that with belief in Him we too have an eternal horizon, and like him, we will rise after dying and joyfully join our loved ones who have gone before.
Hebrews 12 1-2 "The Call to Endurance
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.…" thanks James, happy weekend to all.
Every day, Numbers USA sends things to sign promoting the Save Act and other bills to protect America...I add my thoughts and sign. I contact my representatives too over issues. I write President Trump about issues, too. The situation with all these Obama and Biden imports entering America is critical. A major bill to deport these non-vetted Anti-Americans should be seriously considered.
Former high-level deep state operative Patrick Byrne lays out how the Dominion voting machine company has been using dirty tricks to manipulate elections!
STIFFED BY THE OBAMAS: Plumbing Subcontractor Forced to Shut Down and Lay Off 25 Union Workers After Being Owed Nearly $4 Million on Barack Obama Presidential Center
The SAVE ACT should have been and could be voted on by we, the people. Over 80% of us want secure elections where only US citizens are allowed to vote. Everyone in the senate knows that. Obviously over half of them don't care. If states like Maine (mine) refuse to hand over their voter rolls, it screams of illegal voter registration. Shameful.
I, kind of, have been wondering if Trump should have sent the military to clean out the rats nests of communists and illegals before taking on Iran. Yes, Iran is a problem that needed addressing, but, I feel it is second to securing our own country from the existential treat we face. I am afraid Trump was placed into a Thucydides Trap that ultimately took our focus and resources off our biggest problem here at home.
However, we don’t know what Trump knows about how close Iran was in being able to deploy a nuclear weapon. Once they have that, any US military action against them could be fatal for us. Also, the Iran war is totally changing alliances that we have with other Middle Eastern countries and the global order. We can’t view our domestic issues with the economy, elections, and Communists, as completely independent from the rest of the world. After all, China clearly did interfere in the 2020 election, Iran had the ability to affect the global economy with its control of oil in the Straight of Hormuz, and Britain has been pulling the strings in the background for well over a century. What Trump is doing is like a gigantic 3-dimensional chess game where we can’t see all the pieces. Yes, there are risks that he is taking, including to his own life and the next election to defeat globalism and restore American sovereignty. Without sovereignty we will never have fair elections.
I and others like me voted for Trump partly on the basis of No New Wars. We thought he was actually going to put his energy into taking care of problems at home. I was excited to see people of integrity, like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. on board, but Trump has not supported them and has undermined them in his second year. Yes, he's still better than the alternative, but much of his posturing is betrayal.
When Kamala was running for President, there was a post on Facebook that had her picture and it said “I’m with her”. I reposted the picture with my own comment that said “I’m NOT with her “ All of my democrat friends attack me for my comment. My response was “I refuse to vote for a president that is running on Abortion,full stop!”
Plus, I refuse to vote for someone with no brain who speaks word salad and laughs like an idiot. I was at a party once and a guest said she thought Harris was a smart woman, and I looked at her said "What? I don't think so!" Some people are truly deluded! I hope there are more non-deluded people than deluded who vote, but I worry that may not be the case! As Dave Rubin says, clown world! Despite all that I have hope that good, non-delusion will prevail! We must keep moving forward together and speak up kindly to promote truth!
One of my sisters is enamored of Harris and thinks she's super smart. But then, she tells me "If I were any further left, I'd fall off the earth." I think she's so concerned about supported minorities that she's indulging in what I recently heard called "suicidal empathy". Suicidal empath. Yep. that fits.
I think our only hope is to reinfiltrate the entire educational system with Marines. Guys with guns and a no nonsense work ethic. (Mostly kidding but you get the gist).
I agree with you, but I am not a single issue voter, and there were plenty reasons to not vote for Kamala. Actually, I was glad that Trump was able to back off "pro-life" a bit this past election and and he was able to brag about the Supreme Court decision to have the right to abortion decided in the States. It is my opinion that "the body of Christ" needs to be better about educating people and finding ways to support the woman/girl who is dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, instead of waiting for "the government to help" Make it an Informed Choice. Help her know the radical and drastic life altering decision this really is. Support her financially as well as spiritually with her decision to keep the baby. Keep our wombs out of government but find way to truly help all people understand. Catholics have a ministry called Project Gabriel, but last time I looked it does not do what it should or could, IMHO. I'm looking to volunteer/support any organizations that will help in the regard, I haven't spent enough time trying to find such though, so thank you for the inspiration. (smile) Have a great weekend.
I agree with you that there should be more organizations that support pregnant girls and women to have their babies safely. There are many and probably will be many more couples who want to adopt (especially since the damage of covid vaccines) babies 👶
In my early years of nursing in the ER, I had 3 encounters with 2 college students and 1 high school student that arrived into the department in active labor. All 3 were in active denial about their pregnancy - 2 actually told me that they would rather be told they had a tumor instead of a baby growing inside them. All 3 made it to the delivery room and immediately signed paperwork giving their babies up for adoption. It would have been nice for all of them to have a place to seek medical care and support during the pregnancy and make a thoughtful informed decision about what to choose after the delivery.
I donate monthly to an organization called Letthemlive.org. They find a woman or are referred to a woman who has made an abortion appointment. Let Them Live, helps with the day to day expenses and beyond to enable the woman to have the baby. She needs a car, we get her one, she needs rent money, we pay months in advance for her, she needs childcare for her other children, we find the money.
Its so simple, we ask them what do you need financially to have this baby, they tell us, we deliver.
Cut off all tax money for abortions and most of that industry would go away.
In line with Jane's comments about the ER. Some sex assault reports I took and many domestic issues centered around pregnancy issues, specifically paternity testing (expensive or non existent back when) and how to get free morning after pills. I am not making light of sex assaults or making fun of anyone involved. Just heard things like this too many times.
And an outfit like Preborn would be a better use of funds.
Rambling thoughts..I agree totally about no tax money, or any government support for abortions (with exceptions for incest/rape - but I am more for helping the woman carry the child to birth followed by adoption). Similar thing going on in New York City regarding euthanasia! Here in Texas, and probably elsewhere the (Clinton) Chip program is apparently helpful to parent(s) who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to pay for private insurance (we need something like this for family caregivers of their elderly too!) IM wondering if programs like Preborn, or Project Gabriel can work with the States, now that they are responsible for abortion laws, to coordinate additional financial assistance with current state benefits for potential mothers to help them decide to keep the baby. Majority of $$$ coming from the private donations. With our declining birth rates this makes sense.
PS a friend of mine has a son whose girlfriend got pregnant. They decided to keep the baby. Since neither had a job they qualified for medicaid, and had everything to do with the birth paid for. nice hospital, dr visits, supplies, etc. My friend was horrified that a son of his would be on Medicaid but was nonetheless impressed with the benefits it provided. -Yet...that was 10+ years ago, these days availabilitly of services is apparently diminished because of the illegal immigrant invasion implemented by the Biden administration.
Thanks Dr. Jill. I truly wonder who decided that a screw would go in by turning to the right. Maybe it was Solomon's idea: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." (Ecclesiastes 10:2) I'm just saying.....
She was talking about two year old behavior, but I’ve found through the years that it applies to everyone.
For eons, all cultures have been able to say what a woman is. The first time someone in recent years declared that they couldn’t tell who was or was not a woman, we should have all LAUGHED!
Instead, we simply kept quiet to not offend anyone.
So now we have a Supreme Court justice who doesn’t know what a woman is. And we are trusting her to understand complex legal issues??
Some are beginning to resist senseless comments. But it would have been so much easier if we had resisted from the very beginning.
I would like to have a chat with the fella/gal who crafted the panel about the humble "screw." As a wood butcher myself, I ‘spect ill remember that panel and its message every time I use a screw to build something better, greater than the sum of their parts.
In case you weren't looking, formerly red, formerly free Idaho is being taken over by the left (especially in larger cities, but also the legislature and other elected offices).
Please don't come to Idaho unless you plan to help save the state from Communists and Socialists. We need at least one refuge from insanity in our country!
Could happen. Muslims have a history of being perfect lambs til reach 15-16% of the population then no go zones and intimidating mob violence, forcing their presence and their shria on the majority. That is in unarmed Europe. Texans are not unarmed and if that 15-16% tries their b.s. here they may just be Wacoed.
I knew two guys that loaded up their guns and headed to Waco. Alcohol or other substances might have been involved. Everything went well until they hit the first FBI roadblock. I think they bailed out the next day. TRUE story.
I feel like Trump's finally getting some traction but I still think he's having a hell of a time fighting the deep state globalists, many of them entrenched in his entourage – I dearly hope he can edit them out out and crest the hill!
I’ve noticed over the years that when the GOP is the majority, that they rarely move the football toward the goal line of victory—Mike Johnson as Speaker has changed that, but Thune and company has embraced it—I’m thinking Thune is Mitch’s clone, just saying. I guess it’s recess time for Thune since the Save Act has been sent to the Senate the 4th time.
The globalist agenda is full spread ahead with America and its citizens as targets, and yes, China is in on it, and doing it inside America.
Below is the link to “America vs. the ICC: The Fight Over Global Law Explained” from Joshua Phillips—Epoch Times. This is why it’s important to stay informed and put the right people into positions of authority. Rubio is blessing my little heart more and more.
The Democratic Party’s agenda is openly wicked—it’s the epitome of evil.
1. Promote and celebrate the killing of unborn children, post-abortion killing, euthanasia.
2. Promote and celebrate any and all sexual perversion: LGBTQ+, transgenderism, homosexual marriage, Drag Queen, sodomy—even in a Senate Chamber filmed by the perpetrators with no charges filed by Capital Police!!!
3. Embrace and promote Socialism, Communism, hatred against law enforcement and hatred against Israel and Jewish people.
4. They really hate God, His Word, His Messuah—the Lord Jesus Christ, and His people.
Yeah, there’s something intrinsically evil in their party platform that comes directly from their heart.

As Ronald Reagan famously said about Communism: when the Berlin Wall fell, no one ran to the Communist side.
Truth.
When I renew my driver's license, I am subject to close examination for potential mental degradation and signs of physical impairment. Then I am closely examined for my ability to drive my car safely. I just keep wondering why the left is continually protecting their illegal supporters who do not have to be examined for their capacity to function normally and follow the rules of this republic.
There’s no need to wonder. They need them to have power.
You know the answer.

There HAS to be consequences besides unlimited days in court for the states like mine, Maine, that refuse to hand over their voter roles.
It's important enough that I think ALL federal funding for EVERYTHING should be suspended until they comply.
NM here and I agree.

NYC had only like 8% of its registered voters actually vote In its last election. It was the blue haired communists who elected Mamdani. Like the lyric in the song by Rush says “if you choose not to vote you still have made a choice”.
This article says over 41% of registered voters , voted. The highest number in years.

I misspoke. It was the primaries that produced low turnout and was enough to get the commies as the only candidates to vote for. Sorry. Thanks for The correction
and who were those voters? Just asking.
I read the article quickly and it said there were 290 thousand new registered voters!!!! More than any in recent times!!!!
What's sad is some of these illegal voters don't even know they're not supposed to vote. They're useful idiots.
Idk about that. I guess it would depend on what country you’re from but I can spot someone who isn’t supposed be here let alone voting a mike away

It may not be tomorrow or even in 6 months, sometimes it can be years later, the lessons learned in our valleys turn to blessings in our life. Life’s valleys are a part of our spiritual journey of faith, where challenges become opportunities for growth and blessings.
Happy Saturday!

Thanks James
We generally agree with you and Trump on the need for 100% clean elections. Of course we need clean elections!
We are 100% in favor of allowing only US Citizens to VOTE. However, some are reluctant to support the SAVE Act, possibly due to its inclusion of REAL ID as a proper form of identification. (And, of course, others want non-citizen voting because it guarantees a Communist or globalist takeover of America. They welcome Digital ID.)
We asked Grok: Does the SAVE act HR 22 (https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr22/BILLS-119hr22eh.pdf) allow digital ID as proof of citizenship. If yes, quote the text.
Answer: Yes, the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) explicitly allows certain forms of identification issued consistent with the REAL ID Act of 2005 as one form of documentary proof of United States citizenship for voter registration. This is one of several acceptable options listed for proving citizenship. The bill does not broadly mandate or define “digital ID” but references REAL ID-compliant identification, which can include digital/electronic formats in some state implementations.
Direct quote from the bill text (Section 2, amending the definition):
‘‘(b) DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP.—As used in this Act, the term ‘documentary proof of United States citizenship’ means, with respect to an applicant for voter registration, any of the following:
‘‘(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/house-bill/418/text) that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.
‘‘(2) A valid United States passport.
[additional items listed, such as military ID, birth certificates, etc.]’’
If only digital ID / REAL ID weren't a part of the SAVE Act, we'd be 100% on board and would denounce efforts to railroad it.
See also "REAL ID, a national digital identification, surveillance, and control system:" (short link) https://tinyurl.com/5f6pb9jy
Easy way around that is just to get a passport. I won’t get Real ID, so I got a passport.
At $165 for a new passport, one might understand the reluctance of certain sections of the population to be forced down that road, especially if they haven't the wherewithal to travel abroad. This is likely behind the DEMs' purported objections to it being proposed.
The reason the REAL ID is mentioned, because it clearly shows you are a citizen [by the I-9 form you submit, copy of certified birth certificate, and a Social Security number verification]. Before some states started issuing DLs to illegals a DL would do this also. It did what they called a Triple Check - Social Security Number check, outstanding driver warrants in other states, and a check with INS.
But that doesn't work anymore.
Without a REAL ID, you could submit all this paperwork to your local voter reg person.
I am not understanding your complaint about the REAL ID in the bill. Either way you prove your citizenship, you need these documents.
BTW, you only need to be a US citizen for Federal elections. State and local elections can make their own rules. All this according to the US Constitution.
We don't need the SAVE Act...we just need to enforce the US Constitution. Democrats, again, have us in a word game match.
Isn’t part of Thune’s job to negotiate with senators like Murkowski from Alaska? If the real ID is a problem, which I agree with you, change the bill, get it passed, and send it back to the house. Mirkowski’s concern is that rural people will have a hard time being able to vote so Thune needs to do his job and fix that problem, whatever it takes. Make her comfortable! I know you remember Obama Care, the democrats were giving away 12 lane bridges to nowhere to get it passed. They’re 2 votes short.
Absolutely correct .
You are speaking the truth James!
This - "As Trump inferred in his address, without clean elections, the most fundamental part of our constitutional republic, where the citizen elects individuals to represent them at the government level, has been stolen from us" True, James, it makes me sick, like this whole mess makes me feel sick, but there is hope. I'm sticking firm with President Trump and those surrounding him, that they know what they are doing and have a brilliant plan and more than just a chance for success. I like JD, but I'm leaning more toward Marco now. His personal experiences with communism, and immigration, his time in the Senate, his devotion to Jesus and Christianity, and the incredible, incredulous, experience(s) he is managing right now. There are videos going around on Truth Social by a couple of young men reading about George Washington, and learning how his Christian faith was totally ingrained in everything his did. He required all of his officers to be Christian, for example. In that regard, I heard a non-Christian speaker the other day saying that Christianity is necessary for good politics and for a successful civilized society. Not just in the moral sense, but yes that is a must, but also having the greater Power to answer to, and a Savior who overcame death, and who shows us that with belief in Him we too have an eternal horizon, and like him, we will rise after dying and joyfully join our loved ones who have gone before.
Hebrews 12 1-2 "The Call to Endurance
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.…" thanks James, happy weekend to all.
The Call to Endurance
Every day, Numbers USA sends things to sign promoting the Save Act and other bills to protect America...I add my thoughts and sign. I contact my representatives too over issues. I write President Trump about issues, too. The situation with all these Obama and Biden imports entering America is critical. A major bill to deport these non-vetted Anti-Americans should be seriously considered.

It’s Not Just a New Jersey Scandal – SIX States Were Previously Caught Including THOUSANDS of Non-Citizens on the Voter Rolls
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/its-not-just-new-jersey-scandal-six-states/
************************
The SAVE ACT should have been and could be voted on by we, the people. Over 80% of us want secure elections where only US citizens are allowed to vote. Everyone in the senate knows that. Obviously over half of them don't care. If states like Maine (mine) refuse to hand over their voter rolls, it screams of illegal voter registration. Shameful.
I, kind of, have been wondering if Trump should have sent the military to clean out the rats nests of communists and illegals before taking on Iran. Yes, Iran is a problem that needed addressing, but, I feel it is second to securing our own country from the existential treat we face. I am afraid Trump was placed into a Thucydides Trap that ultimately took our focus and resources off our biggest problem here at home.
However, we don’t know what Trump knows about how close Iran was in being able to deploy a nuclear weapon. Once they have that, any US military action against them could be fatal for us. Also, the Iran war is totally changing alliances that we have with other Middle Eastern countries and the global order. We can’t view our domestic issues with the economy, elections, and Communists, as completely independent from the rest of the world. After all, China clearly did interfere in the 2020 election, Iran had the ability to affect the global economy with its control of oil in the Straight of Hormuz, and Britain has been pulling the strings in the background for well over a century. What Trump is doing is like a gigantic 3-dimensional chess game where we can’t see all the pieces. Yes, there are risks that he is taking, including to his own life and the next election to defeat globalism and restore American sovereignty. Without sovereignty we will never have fair elections.
I agree. This is a difficult time
Good for you! I totally agree with you! Ignore what he says( NY bluster)and watch what he does! He had 4 years to think this through.
I and others like me voted for Trump partly on the basis of No New Wars. We thought he was actually going to put his energy into taking care of problems at home. I was excited to see people of integrity, like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. on board, but Trump has not supported them and has undermined them in his second year. Yes, he's still better than the alternative, but much of his posturing is betrayal.
Never big on our forever wars and often thinking there was better ways, lately Bob Dylan's Masters of War has been going though my head.

So well stated Joy. I strongly agree. Thank you!
I agree Robbie. We’ve got serious problems here and another Middle East war could have been done after the mid terms! It’s coming quickly…
Send this to Senator Thune.
When Kamala was running for President, there was a post on Facebook that had her picture and it said “I’m with her”. I reposted the picture with my own comment that said “I’m NOT with her “ All of my democrat friends attack me for my comment. My response was “I refuse to vote for a president that is running on Abortion,full stop!”
Plus, I refuse to vote for someone with no brain who speaks word salad and laughs like an idiot. I was at a party once and a guest said she thought Harris was a smart woman, and I looked at her said "What? I don't think so!" Some people are truly deluded! I hope there are more non-deluded people than deluded who vote, but I worry that may not be the case! As Dave Rubin says, clown world! Despite all that I have hope that good, non-delusion will prevail! We must keep moving forward together and speak up kindly to promote truth!
One of my sisters is enamored of Harris and thinks she's super smart. But then, she tells me "If I were any further left, I'd fall off the earth." I think she's so concerned about supported minorities that she's indulging in what I recently heard called "suicidal empathy". Suicidal empath. Yep. that fits.
The book Suicidal Empathy by Gad Saad is an eye opener!
I thought of adding all that you said about her after I posted my comment. Thankfully you said it for me!😊
I think our only hope is to reinfiltrate the entire educational system with Marines. Guys with guns and a no nonsense work ethic. (Mostly kidding but you get the gist).
ditto. Thank you.
I agree with you, but I am not a single issue voter, and there were plenty reasons to not vote for Kamala. Actually, I was glad that Trump was able to back off "pro-life" a bit this past election and and he was able to brag about the Supreme Court decision to have the right to abortion decided in the States. It is my opinion that "the body of Christ" needs to be better about educating people and finding ways to support the woman/girl who is dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, instead of waiting for "the government to help" Make it an Informed Choice. Help her know the radical and drastic life altering decision this really is. Support her financially as well as spiritually with her decision to keep the baby. Keep our wombs out of government but find way to truly help all people understand. Catholics have a ministry called Project Gabriel, but last time I looked it does not do what it should or could, IMHO. I'm looking to volunteer/support any organizations that will help in the regard, I haven't spent enough time trying to find such though, so thank you for the inspiration. (smile) Have a great weekend.
I agree with you that there should be more organizations that support pregnant girls and women to have their babies safely. There are many and probably will be many more couples who want to adopt (especially since the damage of covid vaccines) babies 👶
In my early years of nursing in the ER, I had 3 encounters with 2 college students and 1 high school student that arrived into the department in active labor. All 3 were in active denial about their pregnancy - 2 actually told me that they would rather be told they had a tumor instead of a baby growing inside them. All 3 made it to the delivery room and immediately signed paperwork giving their babies up for adoption. It would have been nice for all of them to have a place to seek medical care and support during the pregnancy and make a thoughtful informed decision about what to choose after the delivery.
I donate monthly to an organization called Letthemlive.org. They find a woman or are referred to a woman who has made an abortion appointment. Let Them Live, helps with the day to day expenses and beyond to enable the woman to have the baby. She needs a car, we get her one, she needs rent money, we pay months in advance for her, she needs childcare for her other children, we find the money.
Its so simple, we ask them what do you need financially to have this baby, they tell us, we deliver.
Thank you Diane. This sounds like a very worthy organization to donate to!
Thank you so very much for sharing this! I love what they do. I bet we can find or found something like this in Texas.
Cut off all tax money for abortions and most of that industry would go away.
In line with Jane's comments about the ER. Some sex assault reports I took and many domestic issues centered around pregnancy issues, specifically paternity testing (expensive or non existent back when) and how to get free morning after pills. I am not making light of sex assaults or making fun of anyone involved. Just heard things like this too many times.
And an outfit like Preborn would be a better use of funds.
Rambling thoughts..I agree totally about no tax money, or any government support for abortions (with exceptions for incest/rape - but I am more for helping the woman carry the child to birth followed by adoption). Similar thing going on in New York City regarding euthanasia! Here in Texas, and probably elsewhere the (Clinton) Chip program is apparently helpful to parent(s) who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to pay for private insurance (we need something like this for family caregivers of their elderly too!) IM wondering if programs like Preborn, or Project Gabriel can work with the States, now that they are responsible for abortion laws, to coordinate additional financial assistance with current state benefits for potential mothers to help them decide to keep the baby. Majority of $$$ coming from the private donations. With our declining birth rates this makes sense.
PS a friend of mine has a son whose girlfriend got pregnant. They decided to keep the baby. Since neither had a job they qualified for medicaid, and had everything to do with the birth paid for. nice hospital, dr visits, supplies, etc. My friend was horrified that a son of his would be on Medicaid but was nonetheless impressed with the benefits it provided. -Yet...that was 10+ years ago, these days availabilitly of services is apparently diminished because of the illegal immigrant invasion implemented by the Biden administration.
SMILE
You probably need new friends....
You’ve got that right!
Thanks Dr. Jill. I truly wonder who decided that a screw would go in by turning to the right. Maybe it was Solomon's idea: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." (Ecclesiastes 10:2) I'm just saying.....
I was just reading that verse this morning!
Drs Malone: a fine, fine collection of memes to start our weekend. Sadly, too many of them hit the “truth” button.
A word of wisdom from my mother:
“What you tolerate, you’ll get more of.”
She was talking about two year old behavior, but I’ve found through the years that it applies to everyone.
For eons, all cultures have been able to say what a woman is. The first time someone in recent years declared that they couldn’t tell who was or was not a woman, we should have all LAUGHED!
Instead, we simply kept quiet to not offend anyone.
So now we have a Supreme Court justice who doesn’t know what a woman is. And we are trusting her to understand complex legal issues??
Some are beginning to resist senseless comments. But it would have been so much easier if we had resisted from the very beginning.
I would like to have a chat with the fella/gal who crafted the panel about the humble "screw." As a wood butcher myself, I ‘spect ill remember that panel and its message every time I use a screw to build something better, greater than the sum of their parts.
These comics are an antidote. Each of them should be a huge billboard in every major blue city.
Great 'funnies', especially the 'screw'. It hits the nail on the head, LO:L
The funnies were all great as usual but the class reunion one had me howling. I had to forward to a dear friend who will likely pee her pants.
Yeah. I am 1 1/2 of my size in high school.
So many of these hit close to home.
In case you weren't looking, formerly red, formerly free Idaho is being taken over by the left (especially in larger cities, but also the legislature and other elected offices).
Please don't come to Idaho unless you plan to help save the state from Communists and Socialists. We need at least one refuge from insanity in our country!
Here's an example:

Texas having invasions of both progressives and muslims and both causing big problems
Yes, it's happening to every formerly red state. Two excellent videos explain this:

Let’s Waco them.
Could happen. Muslims have a history of being perfect lambs til reach 15-16% of the population then no go zones and intimidating mob violence, forcing their presence and their shria on the majority. That is in unarmed Europe. Texans are not unarmed and if that 15-16% tries their b.s. here they may just be Wacoed.
I knew two guys that loaded up their guns and headed to Waco. Alcohol or other substances might have been involved. Everything went well until they hit the first FBI roadblock. I think they bailed out the next day. TRUE story.
Yes, Idaho is definitely under attack from the left!
I feel like Trump's finally getting some traction but I still think he's having a hell of a time fighting the deep state globalists, many of them entrenched in his entourage – I dearly hope he can edit them out out and crest the hill!
I’ve noticed over the years that when the GOP is the majority, that they rarely move the football toward the goal line of victory—Mike Johnson as Speaker has changed that, but Thune and company has embraced it—I’m thinking Thune is Mitch’s clone, just saying. I guess it’s recess time for Thune since the Save Act has been sent to the Senate the 4th time.
The globalist agenda is full spread ahead with America and its citizens as targets, and yes, China is in on it, and doing it inside America.
Below is the link to “America vs. the ICC: The Fight Over Global Law Explained” from Joshua Phillips—Epoch Times. This is why it’s important to stay informed and put the right people into positions of authority. Rubio is blessing my little heart more and more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfoZNpCHiMk
Rubio has been a real surprise for me. I always thought of him as a brainless wannabe, but I've had to change my mind and take a good look.
The Democratic Party’s agenda is openly wicked—it’s the epitome of evil.
1. Promote and celebrate the killing of unborn children, post-abortion killing, euthanasia.
2. Promote and celebrate any and all sexual perversion: LGBTQ+, transgenderism, homosexual marriage, Drag Queen, sodomy—even in a Senate Chamber filmed by the perpetrators with no charges filed by Capital Police!!!
3. Embrace and promote Socialism, Communism, hatred against law enforcement and hatred against Israel and Jewish people.
4. They really hate God, His Word, His Messuah—the Lord Jesus Christ, and His people.
Yeah, there’s something intrinsically evil in their party platform that comes directly from their heart.
The car seat is spot on.
I'm a tall guy and always have that problem.
They complain when we leave the toilet seat up, but never remember to move the drivers seat back.
