Posted on July 20, 2026 by Stella

The first liquid ever poured on the moon was wine. It was consumed by Buzz Aldrin, along with a consecrated wafer, in Holy Communion.

Bill Whittle tells the incredible story of American astronauts paid tribute to their faith and their faith in America by celebrating Holy Communion on the moon.

What were you doing on July 20, 1969?

Posted on July 20, 2026 by Stella

That’s 57 years ago, so there is probably someone here who was just a twinkle in his/her daddy’s eye, or too young to remember.

Goodbye, World Cup Visitors!

Posted on July 19, 2026 by Stella

This X post says it all.

The World Cup ends today. One game left. By tomorrow most of you visitors will be packing up, heading to the airport, going home.

So before you go, let me say the thing I actually want to say.

A few weeks ago I wrote a silly post about all the things you were discovering here. Free refills. Free water. Ice like civilized people. Chips and salsa before you even order. Air conditioning that is a fact and not a moral debate. Drive-throughs. Ranch by the gallon. The Germans standing in the HEB meat aisle in reverent silence, finally understanding why we do not have trains. Buc-ee’s, for which there are still no words.

It blew up, because it was true, and because you were so delightfully stunned by all of it.

Even the Wall Street Journal caught on. Their headline this week: how the US lost the World Cup and won over the world. We did not lift the trophy. But apparently we lifted something else.

We even learned a few things about ourselves along the way. Like the fact that Elon Musk, the single richest man on the planet, shops at HEB. Just rolls in and queues up for fresh tortillas with everybody else. The man could buy the tortilla company, the state it is in, and the moon it sits under, and instead he is standing in line at the hot-tortilla counter like the rest of us, because that is where the good ones are. Only in America is the wealthiest human alive elbow to elbow with a mom of four at the salsa bar. That is the whole country in one aisle.

Two American service members killed in Jordan, one missing in action

Posted on July 19, 2026 by Stella

JUST THE NEWS

The United States Central Command said Saturday that two American service members were killed in Jordan this week and one service member is missing in action.

The military said the incident took place Friday while CENTCOM and “partner forces” defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. The identities of the fallen and missing service members have not been disclosed.

Four other American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged. An undisclosed number of other U.S. personnel were evaluated for minor injuries and have returned to duty.

“Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified,” CENTCOM said.

Bypassing Contaminated Greens

Posted on July 18, 2026 by Stella

Excellent tips from Dr. Robert Malone, and his wife, in the email this morning.

I have included excerpts here, but if you wish to read the complete article, here is the link:

In the 1970s, Americans traveling in Mexico were routinely warned not to eat raw salads or leafy vegetables. The advice was simple: drink bottled water, peel your fruit, and avoid uncooked produce that might have been irrigated, washed, or handled with contaminated water. No one considered this particularly controversial. It was ordinary travel advice based on the known risk of fecal contamination and gastrointestinal illness.

Today, Americans increasingly eat Mexican-grown vegetables without leaving home or even thinking about it. That is especially true during the winter, when supermarkets remain stocked with cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, and other fresh produce grown far to the south. The United States now imports roughly half of its fresh fruit and about one-fifth of its fresh vegetables, with Mexico serving as the dominant foreign supplier for many categories.
