The heat was too much for the bluebirds for several weeks, with temperatures in the upper 90s and a few days above 100 degrees. This is all that is left, and this one egg will probably be gone soon.

It has been a topic for the last several days about when The Supreme Court will make its final decisions about several controversial issues.
The Justices have a critical role because their decisions will affect the laws of the land that will apply to every citizen; it is the final word. The main branches of our government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, are entirely separate; no one department has power over the other.
But I predict if their decisions go the way I believe, the President and the Legislative branch will somehow find a way to reverse their decision.
Today is the official day of Summer.
The time of the year when most people are busy doing what they love outdoors, except those who work outside. God bless them; they have a hard job working in the elements all year.
I think most people enjoy the summer because everything seems to come to life, gardens are growing, lawns are being mowed, and people are boating or spending more time at the beach.
I say this from the perspective of someone who has experienced all four seasons, so I look forward to the warmer months. I'm not a fan of cold weather.
So, Happy first day of Summer.

I would believe if you asked anyone on the street, what is the one thing that worries you the most?
I don't think it would be the Jan 6th hearings. The media has gone to the point of broadcasting the event on primetime evening television; nobody cares. Let's move on; problems like the economy are affecting everyone.
This is an apparent distraction from the reality of the failed policies of the Biden administration. Plus, this distraction is a straightforward build-up to the November elections. The hearings will focus on what is terrible about the conservatives.
A few years ago, there was a TV show called LivePD on the A&E network. I was a huge fan until the network decided to take it off the air because of all the George Floyd protests.
This was a huge mistake; the fan base was a big part of the popularity; typically, on a Friday or Saturday night, it would trend on Twitter.
Anyway, it's Back on the air!!
The new show is called "On Patrol: Live" on the Reelz channel.
June is the official month of summer.
Each month, there is a particular theme that lasts the entire month. In the past, each month usually had a holiday, or it was the preceding month for a change in seasons.
I think we should go back to those days; the current themed months for the year are out of control to the point where businesses change their logo to fit a particular cause.
What is next? a cause or theme for the week.
And another note, the traditional holidays have taken a backseat and are no longer part of each month. Example: Christmas, a holiday that is celebrated worldwide. When was the last time you saw a business change its logo for Christmas? Have their employees inserted Merry Christmas into their email signature?

The world seems to be going crazy. All the recent tragic events have been the root cause of evil. Everyone is trying to analyze the true causes and blame, but the real presence of demons is the real cause.
God did not create us to be evil. We are born into this world as good as God intended, but evil does exist and influences the world.
We must pray every day to guard against evil.
St. Michael Prayer
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
The pandemic completely changed the way we do business. The opportunities to reinvent the way we do business have a massive potential for entrepreneurial investments.
Probably the most significant change is the working-from-home environment.
Here is just a short list of ways someone could invest:
What will be the next opportunity to expand?
Can a current distributing company expand to cater to home-office opportunities?
This is the American way - capitalism at its best
Is it something we hear or read?
Is it something we determine?
Is it a rule or law?
Does it come from God?
I think all of these, at some point, would be true.

The next question is, what do we trust?
This helps us to determine what is truth. We can hear a statement that tells us that it is "the truth," but how do we know it? The assessment is then all on us to accept or reject. We also have to consider our own knowledge, which is a significant factor because if we do not have any prior knowledge of the truth, it could readily be accepted. Rules and laws have been determined to be fact-based, but do we just follow them? I think in the majority of cases, yes.
I am trying to explain the truth because the world is going crazy now. Almost every day, we can tune in to the latest news and ask ourselves, "is that really true? It's hard to believe"
The only absolute truth comes from God. So, how does God's truth apply to all the events in the world?
We have to pray, read the Bible, and follow the experiences of the Saints. We have a base of knowledge of truth in God. If we follow His commandments and teachings, it will guide us to all matter's truth.
Psalm 25:5
"Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You, I wait all the day."
1 Corinthians 2:5
"so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God."
Homelessness has been a topic in the local news lately. The State passed a law making it a felony to camp on public or State property.
This is a complex problem because homeless people are there for multiple reasons, primarily mental illness, drug abuse, or financial issues. The law states if they occupy the prohibited property, they will be committing a felony which means they could be arrested and taken to jail.
The problem with this is that the city has no cash bail, and criminals who have committed armed robberies or have extensive criminal histories are being released, and now we will replace them with the homeless. This is not right. I agree there needs to be a way to help the homeless population, and there are significant concerns with them on public land. I don't know the answer, but it's not putting them in jail.
The important note in the news leak is that this is a draft opinion. It is not official yet. The Supreme Court does not accidentally leak information about major decisions. This was clearly intentional by the progressive Justices to rally the pro-choice protesters. Why would they do this? Because if the progressives get enough attention in the media, then I'm sure the Biden administration will get involved somehow and change it. We had the BLM protest in 2020. This will be the 2022 summer protest.
About half of the United States is Pro-Life. This will be the battle of good versus evil - Pro-life vs. pro-choice. We must protect life from the moment of conception to till the last day.
God help us all.
The news in recent days has covered the new sub-department of Homeland Security - The Disinformation Governance Board.
And some of these reports compare it the novel 1984. So, without getting into an opinion on this matter, below are the best definitions I could find on the two topics.
What are your thoughts?
1984 By George Orwell
1984 is a classic dystopian novel—a novel that describes a society with great suffering—written by George Orwell and published in 1949, a few years after WWII ended. It was published at the beginning of the height of the Cold War, and people gravitated toward a book that spoke of such things as government control and "doublethink".
The novel is set in 1984 in Airstrip One, formerly England. Airstrip One is part of the nation Oceania. It is run by an authoritarian-style government called Ingsoc, and it requires complete obedience. It is led by Big Brother, who is said to be a philosopher and war hero, and who inspires loyalty and fear. One of the slogans of Oceania is "Big Brother is watching you." It has one political party, simply named the Party. The government changes historical records to suit their needs and produces propaganda and all the entertainment for the citizens.
I could not find an official government website with the actual definition, so here is the Wikipedia version.
The Disinformation Governance Board is a United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) board announced on April 27, 2022 during a 2023 budget hearing before the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. Its aim is protecting national security by combatting foreign misinformation and disinformation. Specific problem areas mentioned include false information propagated by human smugglers encouraging migrants to surge to the Mexico–United States border, as well as Russian-state disinformation on election interference, the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and COVID-19 vaccines.[1] In a statement, the DHS said the board would "protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties" as part of its duties.[1][2]
