My Updated Predictions For The Latter Half Of 2025

 

Back in mid-January I issued “My Predictions For The Rest Of 2025.” We are half a year in, and I thought I should issue an update. Ergo, I hereby present to you “My Updated Predictions For The Last Half Of 2025:”

*June 25—A lone federal district court judge rules that President Trump must re-rename the large body of water between Florida and Mexico “The Gulf of Mexico.”

*June 26—A lone federal district court judge, installed by Barack Obama in 2015, rules that all African-Americans must be given $2 million each in reparations—and a $1,000 IHOP gift card.

*June 27—Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) takes to the Congressional podium to vehemently declare that illegal aliens’ right to vote must be immediately codified and enshrined in law, while white people “and other infidels” should not be allowed to vote, in order to “save our democracy.”

*June 28—Yes, the Chicago White Sox are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

*July 7—Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney jointly issue a stunning announcement: Minnesota will become Canada’s 11^th province as of August 1st.

*July 24—A lone federal district court judge rules that President Trump must “immediately restore the White House to exactly as it looked at the very moment when President Biden left office on January 20^th, 2025.”

*August 12—With the Canadian wildfires raging as strong as ever, four months in, President Trump, citing national security and health concerns, decides to annex Canada and put out the fires. This also reunites Minnesota with the United States. Sort of. Trump says, “I must protect the rights of American citizens to go outdoors, play golf, and breathe without being forced to inhale toxic smoke that could eventually kill them.”

*August 30—A lone federal district court judge rules that Trump must un-annex Canada and restart the Canadian wildfires.

*September 10—Elon Musk, continuing to try to patch things up with President Trump, says that he misspoke when his tweet implied that Trump visited Epstein Island. Musk says what he meant to tweet was that Trump had once visited Gilligan’s Island. “My bad,” says Musk.

*September 23—A lone federal district court judge rules that, contrary to recent Trump administration directives, the United States military must be at least 50% comprised of members of the LGBTQ Community by Jan. 1, 2027.

*September 30-- Extensive new studies find that COVID-19 vaccines injured or killed far more people than originally thought…prompting the mainstream media to immediately launch a series of programs revisiting the “January 6 Insurrection.”

*October 12—Kamala Harris is found passed out on a San Francisco street, empty wine box to her side.

*October 29—Nancy Pelosi is found passed out on a San Francisco street, empty Hagen Daz containers and vodka bottles to her side.

*November 18—It is revealed that CNN became the first cable news network ever to have a negative ratings share for any week. Lifesitenews brands the network’s Nov. 9- Nov. 15 performance “a miracle.”

*November 20—Congressional Democrats propose a bill that would require the payment of reparations to Blacks and mandate that the U.S. return the southwestern states to Mexico, the middle of the country to France, and the Eastern seaboard to England. An amendment to the bill calls for all English-speaking folks to subsequently return to England, effectively returning the erstwhile United States to the Indigenous Peoples.

*December 10—A lone federal district court judge’s ruling declares that President Trump must only wear boxers, never briefs.

*December 31—Yes, CNN’s Anderson Cooper does accidentally vomit on air after guzzling a glass filled with a mix of Wild Turkey and Clorox Bleach-- and taking several prolonged bong hits to celebrate the New Year.

A sneak peek at 2026:

*January 9—Al Gore says that, unless all human activity on planet Earth immediately ceases, the planet will spontaneously combust by the end of the year.

*January 27—The U.S. observes the 10-year anniversary of Al Gore stating that, unless the Earth took “drastic measures,” it would reach the “point of no return” in 10 years.

*January 29—A lone federal district court judge invalidates the 2024 presidential election, finding that “the American people are incapable of voting in a way that furthers and supports our precious democracy.” He rules that Kamala Harris be immediately installed as president and Tim Walz as vice-president. He adds, “There are no kings in this country. I have spoken!”

 

Progressive Nirvana: A Ban On All Things American

 

Progressives believe the way to stop violence, foster equity, and increase happiness is to ban everything. Ban ‘misgendering’ and ‘dead-naming.’ Ban mean or ‘offensive’ tweets or posts. Ban guns. Ban ammunition. Ban knives. Ban air conditioning. Ban gas stoves and appliances. Ban shirts with the names of firearm manufacturers on them from our school grounds. Bannish parents from school board meetings. Ban gasoline operated vehicles. Ban fracking. Ban oil exploration. Ban nuclear power plants. Ban hate-speech (except their own). Ban the Ten Commandments from appearing in public. Ban pastors from reciting certain Bible passages. Ban designated-sex bathrooms. Ban the sale of soft drinks in containers over, say, 16 or 24 ounces. Ban trans-fats (but not trans-kids!).

         At this point, a particularly astute observer may detect a pattern.

         Some particularly radical leftists even want to ban ICE/border enforcement, police, the free-market system, Capitalism, the pursuit of profit (except their own), the opposing political party…and opposing political thought.

         Preposterously, many progressives claim that all of this is for ‘our own good,’ or even to ‘save our democracy.’ But banning everything is not progressive, not good, and not the answer. Attempting to ban your political opponents is the opposite of attempting to ‘save our democracy.’ So called ‘progressives’ would have us be as a train racing blindly down the wrong track…towards a deep, dark abyss.

         Inanimate objects aren’t the problem. The search for affordable energy is not a problem. The desire to force others to think like you, act like you, and worship you, however, is a problem. And that desire and problem, that intolerance disguised as tolerance, is evil.

         We can’t ban evil. But we can recognize its existence. And we can fight it and defeat it.

         That is precisely what must happen, if we are to prevent the extinction of freedom and morality. And, possibly, humanity itself.

 

 

United Nations Population Fund Report Says Fertility Decline Best Addressed With Better Access To Contraceptives And Abortion

 

According to the Catholic News Agency (CNA), the United Nations Population Fund, or UNFPA (where did the ‘A’ come from?), “issued a report that surveyed reproductive-age adults and recommended ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a solution to global fertility rate decline, a solution that received pushback from pro-family experts.” The report, “The Real Fertility Crisis: The Pursuit of Reproductive Agency in a Changing World,” surveyed over 14,000 adults in 14 countries including the United States. “Reproductive agency?”

Rather than simply suggesting that people be incentivized to have more children, a net good, the report noted “There are real risks to treating fertility rates as a faucet to be turned on or off.” In fact, it reportedly actually criticized campaigns that encourage people to start families and claimed that tax credits for parents can “stigmatize people who get the benefits and that incentives for larger or smaller families can ‘lead to constraints on reproductive choice by increasing men’s and women’s vulnerability to coercion from partners, families, or in-laws.’”

So, what is the solution to the growing global fertility crisis? Well, the CNA says the UNFPA report endorsed “more sex education in schools, stronger access to contraceptives and abortion, adoptions by homosexual couples, access to assisted reproductive technology, and the dismantling of traditional gender norms.”

Nailed it! If we need more kids, we should either prevent ourselves from conceiving them…or kill them if we have already done so. Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?! I mean, I just want to help!

This is like saying that the solution to endless wars is more death. Which, I suppose, could be the case if carried to an extreme…as it is difficult to conduct wars-- or abortions-- when there are no humans left on earth. So perhaps it’s more like stating that the solution to gonorrhea is more sexual intercourse.

Or like stating the solution to hunger is to make it much more difficult and less profitable for farmers to grow us food. Oh, wait, we’re doing that, too.

Asshattery.

Maybe that’s where the ‘A’ came from.

Michael Moore Slams ICE

 

Michael Moore is not particularly bright.

There, I’ve said it. Can we all agree on that? Okay, we all can’t even agree on what a woman is, but can most of us agree with that statement? I hope so. The infamous activist recently posted a lengthy blog post in which he asked, "Who's really being removed by ICE tonight?" He continued, "The child who would've discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid (sic) that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?"

Moore added: "For every time I have heard a negative word or blatant hatred spewed toward those who came from afar, I have felt that I should pause, get down on one knee, and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us."

I’m keen to address his verbal assault on reason and reality.

As for his virtue-signaling lament that ICE may be removing kids who could someday benefit society…I would simply note that Moore is adamantly pro-abortion. You see, parents have the inalienable right to kill the utterly innocent kids that they created with their own actions, but the United States does not have the right to deport those folks who enter the country illegally. And this could make sense how? Apparently, Moore purports to believe that the hundreds of thousands aborted yearly in America could never have amounted to anything. And that those who came here illegally could never have amounted to anything in their home countries…but could very well cure cancer and stop asteroids if only they could stay here. And that the U.S. is a hateful, bigoted place where the marginalized have no chance. “Amazing” doesn’t begin to describe irrationality on this level. Mental illness comes closer.

Moreover, Moore claims he wants to “get down on one knee and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us." I don’t know how often Moore prays, or even if he can get down on one knee, but wanting to “thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us” is a bit much. Does he think most of those who walked thousands of miles to enter the country during the Autopen Administration were sacrificing the gilded lives they led in their homelands? To “come here and be with us?” And help to stop asteroids? Incredible.

Moore has regularly trashed native-born Americans-- and our culture—in the past, even flatly saying, “We are not good people.” Like most Democrats, he prefers “undocumented immigrants” to American citizens.

In truth, those whom ICE has been removing could also have trashed the hotel rooms they were put up in or looted stores and assaulted police officers. They could have been involved in drug and sex-trafficking. Or murdered Laken Riley.

Actually, some of them did do all of those things-- and more.

And who knows what those killed by illegals would have been able to accomplish?

Certainly not Michael Moore.

Pride! It's In Your Face!

 

From The Daily Wire:

“An LGBT ‘Rooted in Pride’ art exhibit surrounding a children’s playground in Brooklyn, New York, features nude images and what appears to be a man dressed in drag, and promotes gender confusion and anti-Trump messages. The LGBT content surrounds the JJ Byrne Playground, where families and children as young as toddlers play, according to images provided to The Daily Wire, and other images accessible via Google Maps. The art pieces will be displayed all summer long, until August 1.”

From LifesiteNews:

“St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Manhattan plans to celebrate its annual ‘United In Love Pre-Pride Festive Mass’ at the end of the month to coincide with the city’s LGBT events commemorating ‘WorldPride’ weekend.”  

The church will celebrate ‘Pride Mass’ to commemorate the start of ‘Pride weekend,’ and do so “with a joyful liturgy affirming God’s love for all,” according to the parish’s events calendar.

I want to know if St. Francis of Assisi will have its own exhibit adjoining the JJ Byrne Playground. Perhaps a priest will be on site in drag. Maybe with an in-character name of “Divine,” “Jezebel,” “Adam Eve,” or “The Scarlett Preacher.”

What the hell happened to us? I don’t care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own abodes, rather it’s the over-the-top in-your-face Pride! that irks me. Biblically speaking, pride itself is considered a sin. Being preposterously proud of one’s own PRIDE! at being a member of the (PROUD!) Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Community can’t be any less of one.

In days of yore, cohabitation and fornication outside of marriage were considered to be sins. Hell, you weren’t allowed to chew gum in school. Today? Put on some women’s lingerie, grab your crotch and your “It Can’t Lick Itself” sign and head to the nearest playground.

Tolerance. Pass it on.

 

 

 

Weird News? Not Anymore!

 

The Murray, Kentucky, Police Department recently noted it received a complaint about a man intentionally releasing a raccoon inside a business on the evening of June 6. The animal subsequently bit a patron. The man, 40-year-old Jonathan Mason, was arrested just 6 months earlier for being drunk and disorderly—and trying to leave a bar…on a mule. (One jackass atop another.)

I’ve always been a fan of weird news. In fact, I used to read the newspaper column “News of the Weird” religiously. Today, however, almost all the news is weird. So much is preposterous, bizarre, and dumb—and so little is garden-variety, unbiased, unvarnished news, that old-fashioned weird news doesn’t stand out anymore. When you routinely have men dressed as (slutty) women reading “stories” to 4-year-olds in church basements and libraries, when a significant percentage of the population declares that they can’t tell men from women or define what a woman is, when radical progressives declare war on the man who built the world’s largest electric vehicle company, and when many college-age youth protest carrying signs reading “Queers for Palestine,” a guy with a gerbil inserted in his backside just doesn’t carry the same shock value as it used to in days of yore.

How I long for those halcyon days.

We have throngs of “undocumented immigrants” protesting around the country, holding flags of the nations they fled and cannot countenance going back to, while they desecrate the flag of the nation to which they chose to migrate. That makes perfect nonsense. As does so very much today. It is enough to make a rational and sane person fervently ask, “why?!”

Men demand to be on women’s sports teams-- and in their lockers and bathrooms-- and many women passively say “okay.” Democrats openly side with criminals over law-enforcement and the law-abiding. They side with illegal aliens over their own citizens…in their own districts. Some despise Russia, somewhat understandably, but see China as a veritable role model…and “moral authority.” Don’t tell that to the Uyghurs.

In recent years we have been told we shouldn’t go outside because of toxic smoke from Canadian wildfires-- or because it is too hot, cold, sunny, stormy, windy, rainy, snowy…or because of a “pandemic.” We used to just call these things “weather” or “the flu.”

In such a time as this, in an era of topsy-turvydom, the bizarre has become the pedestrian. To the extent that, to some, sanity and reason are the oddballs, the mark of the legitimately marginalized and dangerous.

And that, if not quickly corrected, is the death knell of any society.

 

 

Canada To Issue "Places Of Pride" Stamps Touting Historic 2SLGBTQIA+ Locales

 

The Canada Post, the nation’s government-run postal organization, recently announced it will be issuing “Places of Pride” stamps to mark “pivotal moments” in LGBT history. Sorry, make that “2SLGBTQIA+” history. The organization issued a press release stating, “Canada Post announces Places of Pride, recognizing four vital places for 2SLGBTQIA+ in Canada.” (Not exactly Shakespearian wording, or worthy of Robert W. Service for that matter, but neither of those two were gay. They’re not getting a stamp.)

The release continued: “From early meeting spots to safe spaces for community organizing, these spaces were often the backdrop to pivotal demonstrations and hosted events that shaped 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country – and Canadian society.”

One of the stamps, all of which were designed by LGBTQ artist Tim Singleton, features a depiction of Club Carousel, Calgary’s first gay bar. Another shows Hanlan’s Point Beach, in commemoration of the 1971 “Gay Day Picnic,” during which LGBTQ activists composed the “We Demand” letter, which was written in an attempt to push the Canadian government into codifying LGBTQ rights into law. A third stamp highlights the 1977 Montreal Truxx bar raid protests, which led to Quebec’s ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation. The fourth stamp celebrates the third North American Native Gay & Lesbian Gathering of 1990, at which activists coined the term “Two-Spirit” to refer to gender non-conforming and homosexual Indigenous people.

 For perspective, Mr. Singleton’s Instagram page includes posts claiming that “everyone has an HIV status” and “there’s no place like homo.” (The remains of L. Frank Baum may be rolling over in his grave.)

From the Canada Post:

OTTAWA - Today Canada Post announces Places of Pride, recognizing four vital places for 2SLGBTQIA+ in Canada. From early meeting spots to safe spaces for community organizing, these spaces were often the backdrop to pivotal demonstrations and hosted events that shaped 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country – and Canadian society.

Whether it is Canada, the U.S.-- or other Western nations-- the urge to promote and celebrate “vital” and “historic” sites of and for the LGBTQ Community appears to be preposterously strong.

“Places of Pride?” How about Juno Beach, Canada?

America? Maybe tout Lexington and Concord, Yorktown, Gettysburg, and Omaha Beach as “Places of Pride.” Don’t want to celebrate war? Okay, then how about Menlo Park where Thomas Edison worked, or Independence Hall, where the Constitution was ratified-- and freedom, self-governance, and the worth of the individual was, too.

Places of Pride, indeed.

 

 

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Opens New Theme Park

 

Apparently so. According to reports, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has opened a new theme park, “Heaven Time,” which is-- bizarrely and ironically-- designed to give visitors an up-close and personal experience of the torments of hell. The oddly named Heaven Time theme park is located at the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base in the northern Iranian city of Fouman. Iran International, a Persian-language satellite television channel, recently reported that the exhibit is meant to “offer a visceral experience of the afterlife—particularly the torments of hell.” Doesn’t that sound fun, kids?! I wonder how many rials it costs to get in?

Upon further reflection, the theme park seems redundant. I mean, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the IRGC have made certain Iranians are already living in hell. They don’t need to go to a theme park to see what it looks like.

Speaking of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini himself famously railed against fun, saying: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” 

“There is no humor in Islam.” Really?  Next, he’ll be telling me there is no beer or wine, either. What’s that you say?! Holy crap, I’m out!!

Christians worship life, radical Islam worships death. We are fond of humor, too often Islam is fond of violence. “Great good humor” is a very good thing, indeed. The ability to laugh, especially at oneself, is a sign of emotional strength and maturity. Humor is one of God’s greatest gifts. Laughter is not biologically necessary, yet is often “the best medicine.” It can be a catharsis, a reliever of pain. And a revealer of truth. Each laugh inherently contains a glimmer of hope. Surely, the Holy Spirit recognizes humor as essential to a well-rounded life. Faith, hope, and love are divine. To those, however, I would add humor. Faith, hope, humor, and love, these four we should adore. We can see the hunger for (good) humor—and its connection to the divine-- by the extraordinary success of the Babylon Bee, a Christian site.

So go ahead and laugh—with me or at me, I don’t care. Because, in the final analysis, the joke is on the humorless.

 

 

 

Democrats And Their Media Friends Are Covering Up Their Cover-Ups

 

Everything is a cover-up. Nothing you hear is true. At least if it comes out of the mouths of Democrats and their mainstream media sycophants…or flows from their pens or keyboards.

Turns out the Biden administration and the CDC knew the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous but covered-up that knowledge rather than properly informing the public. Big shock? Not to most of us. Turns out the Biden administration knew cancer-causing chemicals were released into the local environment after the train derailment in East Palatine, Ohio. Also turns out, they covered that little bit of info up and instead proclaimed everything was A-OK, nothing to worry about, ‘nothing to see here.’ They lied. Knock me over with a feather. The media lied about the Russia-gate scam and then tried to cover that up. The media also lied about not having any idea that Biden wasn't in anything but tip top shape. They have since been covering that up and subsequently flat-out lying about their lack of knowledge and malfeasance.

 Shall I go on?

Democrats and their trusted toadies in the lamestream media covered up many pertinent facts about the January 6th “insurrection,” including the facts surrounding the murder of Ashley Babbitt and the number and reason for other deaths that occurred on that day and shortly thereafter. It now appears that we may soon learn that they have also covered up the identity of the would-be pipe bombers on that date. Imagine that.

(And, while the Trump administration is unquestionably the most refreshingly transparent in recent memory, it seems likely that even it may be hiding something pertaining to-- and stonewalling the release of-- the Epstein Files.)

And I could go on. And on, And on.

One of the lessons this all should teach us is this: Government is not the answer, at least not to the vast majority of questions.

The following quote, once attributed to George Washington but never confirmed, seems applicable here. If George did not say it, which now seems likely, he should have, as it is indisputably true: "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master." 

And those in the legacy media that is supposed to be unbiased and hold the feet of the powerful to the fire? They have long-since chosen sides. They routinely lie and cover for Democrats while sabotaging Republicans at every turn. They are as a crazed conflagration bent on burning down the White House when a Republican inhabits it-- and yet timidly douse themselves when a Democrat resides there. 

Try as they might, Democrats and mainstream media types can’t cover up who they really are. And, in one sense, that’s a shame. Because the view isn’t pretty.

 

Christian Churches Under Siege From Inside And Out

               Christian churches have been under attack in recent years. Many have burned or been vandalized. Many more, particularly in Europe, have closed due to lack of attendance, which is itself due to secularization on the one hand and demographic change on the other. Some have been converted into mosques.

And some Christian churches appear to have been taken over by those who disdain Christianity. Germany’s Paderborn Cathedral of Westphalia may be one of those, if a recent ‘performance’ it hosted is any guide. The cathedral, long one of Germany’s most prominent and sacred, hosted a show during which three shirtless male dancers swung, threw, and ‘walked’ raw, headless chicken carcasses stuffed in diapers around the chancel as if they were little children. That is bizarre and disturbing enough in and of itself, but they did this while singing “Meat is Meat” (a play on the Austrian pop song “Live is Life”).

The ’show’ was part of a commemoration of the 1,250^th anniversary of the Westphalia region, and was attended by Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, other German officials, and Archbishop Udo Markus Bentz.

Many folks consider the ‘performance’ to be a mockery of the Eucharist, the Body of Christ—and a “desecration” of the sacred cathedral. One such person is Maria Wirth, a Hindu herself, who subsequently stated that Christianity is “under attack, and maybe undermined from the top.” Wirth took to ‘X’ to write, “It was not a ‘misjudgment’ as claimed. It was in all likelihood deliberate desecration. The debasement of humanity is in full swing. Who is behind it? What is the purpose? Can it be stopped and turned around?”

The jury is out on that question, Maria.

What is not in doubt is that this ‘performance’ was an attempt at utterly desecrating the sanctity of life, of Christianity, and of God Himself.

“Live Is life” morphed to “meat is meat?” I can't imagine anything more disgusting. Dead, decapitated chickens, bloody steaks, newborn infants in diapers or swaddling clothes…they’re all the same, right? Just meat?

The only further comment necessary is this one: God help us. Please.
