From my AI discussion: Across the networks this Sunday, the butcher’s thumb shows up in how each show arranges its energy‑security voices, Israel–Ukraine contrasts, and national‑security framing. The big tell this week is the triple‑booking of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, which signals that energy policy is now being treated as a national‑security story, not a domestic one.
* CBS Face the Nation CBS is running a “energy security + Israel/Ukraine diplomacy + Senate contrast” hour. Chris Wright anchors the domestic‑energy angle. Kaine gives CBS the Democratic foreign‑policy voice. The Israeli and Ukrainian ambassadors create a dual‑front international block — CBS loves pairing two allied envoys when they want to frame a crisis as part of a broader strategic picture. The panel (McKenzie, Albright, Sadjadpour) is pure global‑security architecture: military command, nuclear‑proliferation expertise, and Iran‑region analysis.
What to watch:
Whether Brennan lets the ambassadors define the hour’s narrative, or whether Kaine/Wright pull it back toward U.S. domestic‑strategic framing.
* Fox News Sunday: Fox is running a “Senate contrast + cyber posture + constitutional law + energy” hour. Kennedy and Warner give them a red‑blue pairing with national‑security credentials. Lt. Gen. Moore brings the cyber‑operations angle — a sign Fox wants to frame the week through digital conflict and infrastructure vulnerability. Turley adds the constitutional‑law dimension. Chris Wright appears again, reinforcing the energy‑security theme. The panel is still TBD, which usually means Fox is waiting to see how the morning news cycle breaks.
What to watch:
How Bream positions Moore’s cyber segment — as a standalone threat briefing or as a bridge between Warner and Wright.
* NBC’s Meet the Press NBC is running a “House leadership + GOP foreign‑policy voice + polling shock” hour. Waltz gives them the Republican national‑security anchor. Jeffries provides the Democratic leadership voice. Kornacki’s polling segment is the centerpiece — NBC uses him when they want to reset expectations or highlight movement in the electorate. The panel (Elrod, Page, Stepien, Walter) is NBC’s standard Left wing institutional mix, heavy on strategists and political analysts.
What to watch:
How Welker integrates Kornacki’s numbers into the Waltz–Jeffries contrast — whether the polling drives the hour or simply decorates it.
* ABC’s This Week ABC is running a “military operations + Israel analysis + foreign‑policy depth” hour. Waltz appears again, giving ABC a consistent national‑security anchor. Admiral Mullen provides the senior military perspective. Michael Oren brings deep Israeli strategic insight and political context. The panel (Bruce, Glasser, Applebaum) is journalist‑heavy and foreign‑policy‑focused, meaning ABC will lean into global‑order framing rather than domestic politics.
What to watch:
Whether Oren is allowed to give a full strategic analysis or is used as a setup for the panel’s broader geopolitical framing.
* CNN’s State of the Union CNN is running a “Democratic leadership + energy security + Middle East analysis” hour. Chris Wright anchors the energy‑security theme. Chris Murphy provides the Democratic foreign‑policy voice. Thom Tillis is not the Republican counterweight — he’s a retiring, anti‑Trump senator who no longer aligns with the GOP’s current direction, which allows CNN to feature a “Republican” without hosting an actual GOP message. “The panel — Heinrichs, Goldberg, Sadjadpour, and Haq — blends strategic depth with political analysis: Heinrichs and Sadjadpour supply the foreign‑policy expertise, Haq adds national‑security communications framing, and Never Trumper Goldberg provides the domestic‑political interpretation rather than foreign‑policy analysis.”
What to watch:
Whether Tapper/Bash uses Tillis to frame the GOP as divided or to reinforce a Democratic‑leaning narrative on foreign policy and energy.
* Fox News Channel Sunday Morning Futures Futures is running its signature “White House messaging + Senate leadership + oversight + national security” hour. Karoline Leavitt gives Bartiromo the administration’s message straight from the podium. Barrasso and Graham provide the Senate‑leadership block. Rick Crawford adds the House‑oversight angle. This is a classic Futures hour: executive messaging, congressional oversight, and national‑security framing all braided together.
What to watch:
How Bartiromo positions Leavitt — as the hour’s anchor voice or as a contrast to the Senate‑oversight block.
“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Genesis 12:1-3
Genesis 12:1-3
King James Version
12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
There is a group of MAGA spokesmen who like to pound their chests about Israel being the center of evil in the world. They are not so much anti-Semite as they are ignorant of God’s word. They are mostly believers in Replacement Theology which claims Christians have replaced the Jews as God’s Chosen people when nothing could be farther from the truth.
This has sprung up as an outgrowth of the Charlie Kirk movement and all of the new Christians being saved and following Jesus. There is a revival spreading across America which is incredible although now there are lots of baby Christians who have little or no knowledge of God’s word the Bible.
In addition there are lots of pundits wanting to fill the void of Charlie Kirk but they do not have his depth and knowledge of the Bible. Even he was fairly young in the word but he never followed the Replacement Theology movement even though he had some people in Turning Point who had been influenced by it.
Most of the pundits like Tucker are very knowledgeable of political points and how Moscow on the Potomac works but was raised in a limited Bible teaching church. Most of these pundits are Secular Humanists and are uncomfortable discussing the spiritual world since church is something you do as required. These churches are basically a Drive Through Christianity and a Love Your Brother as Yourself homily over and over.
God made numerous Covenants or promises to the Jews such as the Rainbow being a promise to never flood the earth again. The Abraham Covenant tells him to leave his home to Canaan and he would make a great people who would be His chosen people who would bless the world. Nobody can say the Jewish people have not blessed the world with their advancements in science, art, finance, and social structure through the Ten Commandments and the word of God.
The Ten Commandments is the Moses Covenant which God tells Israel to follow his Commandments and Laws and things would go well with them and when they did not things would not. This is where the Replacement Theory people get confused.
Jesus fulfilled the Laws and replaced the High Priest which means you are allowed into the Holy of Holies to talk directly to God through Christ. Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Covenant which has nothing to do with the Abraham Covenant which says the Jews are His Chosen people.
Christians worship the same God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob being grafted onto the vine of Judaism. They are the roots of the Christian faith and follow their stories and prophets in the Old Testament which points to Jesus the Messiah. It is an amazing relationship which only God would design.
You now have Christians and Jews fighting together against the false prophet cult to free the Persian people. To imagine the two nations who the Ayatoilets have been screaming, Death to Israel; have killed him and are igniting a MAGA movement inside Iran. These two nations worship the same God and are being blessed by Him.
This is a spiritual war between God and a Satanic Cult. These pundits do not understand it and are making things up to hide their lack of spiritual knowledge. God is in control and is showing the entire world he is the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel.

I normally drink decaff,but there are a handful of days(usually holidays) where its high octane.....today is one.
Too funny.
I liked this part:

Bray gets it. Christianity and Judaism are both legitimate religions and have united as one to oppose the death cult that is Islam.
Historically, Iran has been a far more modern country.They have more in common with the US than with near by countries that worship islam.They are also a minority as Shiite's in the muslim part of Iran since the sunni are a far larger cult in the crazy world of islam.
The fact that many Iranians are joyful at Trump taking out the crazed mullahs actually makes the job of getting rid of the nut cases in Iran that much harder.
The job of getting rid of thousands of terrorists who have infiltrated Iran without killing citizens is as hard as it gets. Muslim Terrorists now hide in iran in schools,hospitals and areas where Trump would never bomb. That makes getting rid of the bad guys so much harder. Even with the current regime in Iran claiming they want to talk peace Trump has the experience of history in dealing with the mullahs who lie about everything.
Our president realizes the only hope that Iran has for free and fair elections on their own lies with getting rid of the current regime. Anything less would be a vast waste of time resources and lives.
many missile sites are now gone for Us bombs:
Lol good one,oh so true!!
Below her husband.

Bryon Noem is the husband of Kristi Noem, the former governor of South Dakota and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. He is a businessman who runs an insurance agency and has been married to Kristi since 1992, with whom he has three children.
Shannon trying to claim that we are making it easier for Russia to sell its oil to India. Wright says its a big nada since the sales would have happened anyway. Wright thinks gas prices will be back within weeks not months,lets hope he is "Wright". 
DC destroys people. Lewandowski is married too. If true she and he would be wise to go home and work on their marriages.
Ahhh, the coffee is working....interesting line up. I cant wait for today’s pearls of wizdum from Temu Barry...and should be some great stuff from Kennedy. I’m guessing Linda will have his Patton costume on.....but all in all might get interesting today. After Friday’s undressing of Adam Schitt by Maher of all people....who knows?
Thanks RG, just needed to be said.
As one who likes to be sure before stating a position, I wonder :
Is there proof she was bedding Lowendoski ?...or fodder to discredit Trump.
Was it she or Corey who canned the pilot for losing her blankie ? I hear it was Corey
1/4 $B is a lot for a TV commercial, ....but does that include the purchase of commercial time ?...which changes the dynamic of the accusation....and arguably was successful.
The only Noem failing of which I am certain, was her refusal to stand up to trans in South Dakota 2-3 years ago.
BOTTOM LINE : she was hurting the perception of Trump’s deportation policies and had to go.
A insight filled essay today, it seems like we have cults coming at us from both religious and social groups....both mostly comprised of brainwashed zombie cultists. To what extent are they intertwined, guess we are watching it unfold now. As an aside, anyone else curious about this underreported story...and why it’s getting buried?
I feared that brief encounter would go unnoticed, but Joe Concha caught it and highlighted it this morning on F & F.
Donks are such despicable POS.
Maher made a good case for his criticisms of Trump with the numerous times he's defended Trump. But, then again, he's too often blinded.
