Our brother-in-Christ, Brian Heinz, a longtime member of this blog and its predecessor (FOTM), was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer. He desperately needs our prayers.
This is what he wrote in a comment:
I could use prayer if anyone can supply found out I have lung cancer Stage 3 C and two lymphomas from it as well doing chemo and radiation together to see if they can stop it. But any prayers would be appreciated thank you in advance.
This is my favorite prayer, a plea to our Lord, Jesus the Christ, for His mercy:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us. That in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is love and mercy itself.
May Our Lord have mercy on our brother, Brian Heinz, and may He comfort Brian in his time of affliction, surround him with Your light, and heal him of his cancer and restore him to full health. Amen.
Please remember Brian in your daily prayers, and envelope him with your love.
Male-born Hailey Davidson, presenting as female, now out of women’s LPGA golf.
“Transgender” men have infiltrated women’s sports, robbing women of championships and endangering their lives. Today, the LPGA Tour made a change to the rules to prevent trans players from taking over women’s golf.
“The LPGA Tour announced a dramatic change in its gender policy Wednesday, having huge repercussions for transgender players.
Women’s golf has been embroiled in controversy over the past year with multiple professionals pleading with the tour to alter its rulebook to prevent trans athletes, such as Hailey Davidson, from competing.
The LPGA had stood firm by its inclusion policy for transgender athletes who undergo surgery after male puberty, having removed its requirement for golfers to be ‘female at birth’ in a policy change in 2010.
However, the organization has performed a U-turn with the updated gender policy, which will come into force in 2025, now requiring players to be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female before going through male puberty to compete in LPGA tournaments or the eight USGA championships for women.
‘Under the new policy, athletes who are assigned female at birth are eligible to compete on the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour, and in all other elite LPGA competitions,’ a statement from the tour read. ‘Players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty are not eligible to compete in the aforementioned events.’
Players assigned male at birth must prove they have not experienced any part of puberty beyond the first stage or after age 12, whichever comes first, and then meet limitation standards for testosterone levels.
The USGA, headed by CEO and former LPGA commissioner Mike Whan, released a similar statement outlining the same policy changes.
The LPGA and USGA say their policies were geared toward being inclusive of gender identities and expression while striving for equity in competition.
The updated policies would rule out eligibility for Davidson, who has been trying to earn her (his) professional status on women’s tour amid criticism and opposition from almost 300 rival players (aka women).”
I grew up in Washington State and thankfully was able to flee to a red state over a decade ago.
During my voting years in the Seattle area, absolutely none of my candidates ever won. The area has been blue for decades. Seattle has had a democrat mayor since 1969 and Washington’s last republican governor was elected in 1981. And during the past presidential election, Washington State got “slightly” bluer.
To understand this phenomenon, get inside the mind of a liberal: A business-owner who was recently robbed and doesn’t want the perps to go to jail. Seriously.
“Just before 2:30 a.m. last Wednesday, Desirae Aylesworth woke up to the sound of her Ring camera system notifying her of a breach in her café. Her Seattle café was being robbed, becoming the latest victim of Seattle’s crime crisis.
Aylesworth is the co-owner of Wild Mountain Cafe in the Crown Hill neighborhood of Seattle. When she reviewed the surveillance feeds from her restaurant, she saw two young men jumping the back fence of her business, and then breaking in. She immediately called 911.
“I spent the following 10 to 15 minutes on the phone trying to get police there in time to catch them, and in the process, just was watching in real time two burglars going through my restaurant and not completely trashing the place, but definitely looking for something specific,” Aylesworth explained to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH. “And you know, it was very obvious they were after money and didn’t care too much about product or electronics or anything else, which is, you know, saving grace in the whole matter.”
The two thieves stole about $5,000 in cash, which was earmarked for staff tips. And unfortunately, the two suspects escaped before police arrived.
It’s unclear the thieves’ ages, but judging from surveillance footage, they appear to be young. Despite the crime, though, Aylesworth doesn’t want them going to jail. They appear young enough to be course-corrected with intervention. She thinks community service would be more appropriate.
As is too often the case, the suspects are still on the loose.“
The business owner felt very violated and helpless. Stealing $5,000 in King County is a first-degree theft Class B felony crime. Jail time should be the punishment for these perps. Believing that community service will deter them is a product of the liberal mindset.
The Seattle Police Department is severely understaffed as they are at their lowest staffing level since 1958. Last year’s crime data showed that Seattle had a drop in overall crime yet a rise in homicides and auto thefts.
Despite spending over nearly $1 billion the past decade to “fix” homelessness, Seattle’s homeless population continues to rise. And their fentanyl crisis continues, when Washington State reported a 41% rise in drug overdose fatalities (between September 2022 and September 2023) — the highest increase in the United States.
But you keep voting blue, liberals of Washington. Y’all keep voting for this so embrace the suck. So glad I left you for a red territory.
Witches have been casting cursing spells on President Donald Trump since his first presidential election and term-of-office.
These evil women are doing it again.
But they discovered their curses are ineffective.
Here’s a video on witches on the social media Reddit complaining they haven’t been able to curse Trump.
I believe the curses are thwarted because millions of Americans have been praying for Trump. I do that every day.
Studies found that intercessory prayer really works:
In 1988 and 1999, randomized controlled trials of remote intercessory prayer (praying for persons unknown) showed a beneficial effect in patients in intensive coronary care units (Southern Medical Journal, July 1988,81(7):826-9; Archives of Internal Medicine, Oct. 25, 1999; 159(19):2273-8).
In 2000, a systematic review of randomized, placebo controlled trials of distant healing found that 57% of the randomized, placebo controlled trials of distant healing showed a positive treatment effect (Annals of Internal Medicine, June 6, 2000; 32(11):903-10).
In 2001, a double-blind study of 3393 adults hospitalized with a bloodstream infection found that remote intercessory prayer is associated with a shorter hospital stay and shorter duration of fever in those patients even when the intervention is performed 4-10 years after the infection (British Medical Journal. Dec. 22, 2001; 323(7327): 1450–1451).
If you’ve been praying for Trump, please continue. And if you haven’t, please do.
Let’s surround President Trump with a powerful wall of prayers.
The left are losing it over the majority of Americans voting to re-elect Trump.
While we watched the economy tank, inflation rise, illegals and fentanyl pour across our unprotected border under the Biden/Harris administration, the media had progressives believe that Project 2025 (supposedly Trump’s plan) is going to end the USA as they know it.
Legacy media scared women so much they now want to disown anyone who didn’t vote their way – including their parents. From the Daily Mail:
Antifa model says she’s going to evict parents from home after they voted for Donald Trump
“An ‘anti-fascist’ OnlyFans model says she’s planning on evicting her parents after they voted for Donald Trump. Merrick DeVille went viral on X after she shared that she no longer wants a relationship with her MAGA parents in the wake of Trump’s election win last week.
‘My parents are downstairs right now – in the house I moved us into and whose bills I pay, watching TV,’ the avowed socialist wrote on X on Monday.
‘They happily voted for Trump. I don’t know how to be anything other than angry. 6 more months on the lease and every day already I am more angry.’
DeVille, who lives in Austin, Texas, claimed her parents’ vote was an attack on her, saying it was ‘like they spat in her face.’
‘They know I have extensive reproductive health issues. They know access to BC (birth control) is the only thing between me and regular hospital visits. They know Trump is a fascist, they don’t even like him,’ she added. ‘They voted for him anyway.’
After realizing her post had gone viral, DeVille thanked supporters and then spoke to the ‘people suggesting [she is] a controlling monster for being upset that [her] parents just voted to make [her] job illegal and hurt my healthcare.’
DeVille then appeared to backtrack, claiming her parents have other living options and would not be left on the street when she kicks them out. ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do yet,’ she wrote.”
Girl, you better get some mental healthcare services. One cannot go through life with so much hate. And one day honey, your parents are going to be gone. Love them (and their right to vote as they see fit) while you have such little precious time in this life with them.
‘There is a societal norm that if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time and I think the answer is absolutely not,’ Calhoun said.
‘So if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends, who you know have voted in ways that are against you, against your livelihood, it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. ‘To say, “I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood and I’m not going to be around for this holiday. I have to take space for me.’
Reid had asked the psychiatrist for advise on how to interact with Trump supporters.
‘If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing, you know, that this man was calling people the b word,’ Reid said.
‘JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris “the trash.” He said, “We’re going to take out the trash.”
‘I know a lot of black women were incredibly triggered by that.’
Calhoun previously made headlines last year when she said doctors should be forced to wear body cameras to catch the racist ones.”
Celebrities like Oprah and Beyoncé were paid $ millions to endorse Kamala Harris.
In billionaire Oprah’s case, it was $1 million. Beyoncé, whose net worth is estimated to be $800 million, got $10 million.
All of which not only put the Harris campaign, which had a war chest of $1 billion, millions more than the Trump campaign, into a $20 million debt, it also should raise questions as to political endorsements by so-called celebrities. If they really believe in their candidate, why would these already super-wealthy celebrities need to be paid millions of dollars to endorse?
Ordinary Democrat donors should feel really, really stupid because this is where their campaign contributions went to.
The whole concept of political endorsement is nonsensical:
Let’s say a group of garbage collectors declared they endorse Harris. We would laugh out loud. But for some strange reason, we are supposed to pay attention to political endorsements by actors, singers and other “entertainers”. How are they different from trash collectors? Neither group has political training, expertise, experience, or special knowledge.
Nor are political endorsements BY ANY OTHER GROUP or individuals any different. Politics is not nuclear physics: there is no special training or trove of knowledge involved. Voting in an election requires one thing from us — our informed judgment, which requires us to obtain information on the candidates (their beliefs, policy positions, and values) and the issues. With that information, we can then vote for the candidates and issues that best accord to our values, interests, and concerns. That is something we each can do, unless we are cognitively impaired. Why, then, would we need other people to tell us how we should vote? It makes no sense!!!
Already irritated by s0-called Hollywood celebrities’ shilling for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, my annoyance was exacerbated when after the election, an ad keeps popping up on the Peacock streaming service — of actress Julia Roberts merching Lancôme’s new perfrume.
I will never ever purchase Lancôme’s perfume or any of your merchandise because you chose Julia Roberts to be your public face and spokesperson. Roberts has neither the expertise nor the knowledge to lecture to us on politics or tell us for whom we should vote in the 2024 election. In so doing, she presumes that we are ignorant, do not know our own minds and values, and need her to tell us what to do. That is the height of arrogance and narcissism.
