  2. “You can see the discomfort written all over these CNN panelists’ faces as @ScottJenningsKY rattles off Trump’s wins this week

    .“Nope, we’re not tired of winning yet.”

    • Supreme Court shot down “universal” injunctions that blocked Trump’s executive orders.

    • Supreme Court also ruled he can deport illegal immigrants to third-party countries.

    • The stock market is at a record high.

    • He brokered the ceasefire in the 12 Day War.

    • Peace broke out between Rwanda and the Congo.

    • Gas prices are at a four-year low for the summer.

    “You could make an argument that this week or the last two weeks—the BEST week or two weeks of his entire presidency.”

    So you can see why CNN and the media and NTers need to make up lies to slow his momentum.

  6. My friend’s son asked her to come outside one day. As she waited he pulled out his phone and a little bit later (they lived close to each other) along came the new car he bought. It was a Tesla and he has it pick him up after grocery shopping, too. I am not sure if this is legal everywhere? He lives in AZ.

    “JD Vance confirms Marco Rubio’s findings. Only 12 cents of every dollar sent away as foreign aid is actually spent on what it’s supposed to be spent on

    The rest is laundered by NGOs and their “subcontractors”

    JD Vance “So we send $100,000 to this group to buy food for poor kids in Africa. Okay, and what actually happens is it’s not $100,000 that go to the food for the Poor Kids in Africa. The NGO, the non government organization that gets that money, contracts it out to somebody else, and then they subcontract it. So there’s like three or four middlemen.

    Marco Rubio, who’s the secretary of State, he’s a very good friend. What he told me is that his best estimate, after he had his team look at it, is that 88 cents of every dollar was actually being collected by middlemen. So every dollar we were spending, humanitarian assistance, 12 cents, was actually making it to people who needed it.”

  9. Gas prices at a four-year low? I wish that were true here. We’ve been bouncing between $2.90 and $3.30 for several months, and currently the price is $3.40. Eggs are down to $2.49, though.

  10. When listening to our ‘leaders’ throwing about invectives (or sometimes ourselves when debating politics?)

    ~ “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” This verse emphasizes that what a person says is a direct reflection of what is within their heart. Similarly, Luke 6:45 says, “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” ~

  11. This administration has made great strides in securing our nation once again. It has been but a bit over five months to get this much accomplished. The past administration had four years to cause the disastrous effects of their leftists cause.

    Prices for goods are still way too high. 88.00 for one tote of groceries? Basics like bread coffee eggs fresh veggies and fruit… no meat!

    I paid 3.29 a gallon for gas on Thursday. Yesterday it was 2.99! Like Cheryl mentioned the prices fluctuate all the time… for no rhyme nor reason!

  12. My Bible memory verse for the week:

    Psalm 20:7

    Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

    On the surface the future, for the moment, looks brighter for US citizens, but God is sovereign and can change things in a moment. I still don’t really have a clue what He is doing with Trump, as I did not know about Biden. I do know His ways of thinking and doing are not anything like our ways no matter how brilliant we may think we are. I am thankful He is in control. I am thankful I can vote based on my Biblical values. I am thankful for Christian friends who do not put me down if I see things differently than they do because we both can readily admit we only see with faulty human sight and mind. So glad I don’t feel the need to constantly think I am totally right and others are off their rocker. Getting along is all about grace. Praise God that He led the way in giving grace so we can see what it means in regards to our own selves in relationship with Him. God is infinitely more good than any of us. Praise Him above all else and let petty anger drift away unadvertised.

  13. Indeed, Janice, and it is what some of us have been saying all along though it may not have been heard. I am sorry if the error was on our end in misspeaking it.

    Peace and forgiveness.

    God indeed is sovereign, through good and hard times both.

  14. Since someone mentioned the damage Biden and Dems have done to America….

    https://x.com/ByronYork/status/1939108190148288767?t=o4FaimCt8swp2yBoRO5heg&s=19

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/06/28/tallying_up_bidens_immigration_damage_152965.html

    “Most mainstream press accounts have largely ignored one obvious source of the Los Angeles riots – namely, that the Biden administration released more than enough illegal aliens into this country to populate a wholly new Los Angeles. In the aftermath of those riots, it’s an appropriate time to ask this question: How many illegal aliens did the Biden administration actually let into the United States?

    According to the Congressional Budget Office, during the four years from 2021 through 2024, a net 10.3 million people immigrated to the U.S. That figure reflects the number of (legal or illegal) immigrants who entered the U.S., minus the number who left. As a result of this huge immigration influx, the portion of the U.S. population that is foreign-born hit 16.2%, per the CBO, surpassing the all-time record of 14.8% set in 1890. That mark lasted for more than 130 years, but it couldn’t survive the Biden administration.

    In fact, the percentage of the population that is foreign-born is probably even higher than 16.2%, as that figure was for 2023 (up from 15.6% in 2022). Since a net 2.7 million people immigrated to the U.S. in 2024, according to the CBO, and about 500,000 foreign-born residents die annually (based on the CBO’s estimate for 2023), the foreign-born population rose by an estimated 2.2 million in 2024 – from 55.1 million to about 57.3 million. So, the percentage of the population that is foreign-born likely hit about 16.8% last year (57.3 million out of 342 million). In comparison, in 1970, the portion of the U.S. population that was foreign-born was 4.7% – just over a quarter as high.

    “Put otherwise, on the cusp of next year’s Quarter-Millennial anniversary of American independence, about one out of every six people now living in the U.S. is foreign-born, versus one out of every 21 on the eve of the Bicentennial. That’s a massive population transformation – one unlike anything our country has ever previously experienced.”

  15. Good, now disbar the anti American persecuters as well.

    “Attorney General Pam Bondi has just fired MULTIPLE prosecutors involved in the J6 cases, per AP

    MORE OF THIS! 🔥

    These political persecutors RUINED LIVES on behalf of the Democrat Party.

    Bondi told these prosecutors they were “removed from federal service effective immediately,” per letters seen by NBC”

  17. What does it matter if they’re foreign born if we keep allowing dual citizenships which means legal allegiance to more than one country. Musk is a citizen of 3 countries: South Africa, Canada, and the US. Vindman, the ‘whistleblower’ instigating the impeachment over Trump’s conversation with Zelensky in Trump’s first term, is a dual citizen of Ukraine.

    I heard a caller to a Republican radio talk show a few days ago suggest we go back to single citizenship the way it used to be. The host hemmed and hawed and stammered and finally blurted out ‘but what about Ireland. I know people with Irish passports.’ He hemmed and hawed a little more then said ‘ and Israel–I know people with Israeli passports’. Ding, ding, ding. Bingo. Nationally speaking, nobody really knows or cares about what’s happening in Ireland. But Zionists in the US who are fully supported by Christian dispensationalists center much of our own foreign affairs largely around what’s good for Israel. Not the US. That’s how we came to have dual citizenship.

    Dual citizenships need to go. For everyone.

  18. Third son was a dual citizen. He had to choose a country when he turned eighteen. Born in a German hospital (German citizenship) of American military parents (making him American). There are grey areas.

  19. My brother was also born in Germany when Dad was in the air force . When he turned 18 he was offered German citizenship, which he declined. Supposed gray areas are not causing our dual citizenship problems.

  20. I don’t believe you are automatically a citizen when you are born in Germany. They have to offer it I think.. I read an article once that said they have a sizable population of Turks I think it was who have lived in Germany for several generations yet have still not been granted citizenship.

  25. Brother was 1961 in Wiesbaden. I don’t remember where we lived as I was only 2. I’ll have to ask Dad. He told me a couple months ago he still has brother’s original birth certificate. I’m planning to give it to my niece when Dad passes. Brother died in 2021 so I know she will want it .

  31. The point about dual citizenship is a matter of conflicting loyalties not current hostility. Dad lived in the Philippines for 20 years and loved it so much he would have stayed if not for family here.

    There’s nothing wrong with being a citizen of another country whether Israel , Iran, the USA or Brazil or anywhere . Every country has a uniqueness of geography and culture that can be very beautiful. And I would hope that everyone loves and cares about their country even if it’s an adopted country.

    As Christians our ultimate citizenship and loyalty cuts across geographic boundaries anyway. We are the one new man, neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ who is King of the Kingdom to which we currently belong.
