DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to have perfect trust in Your tender care. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On February 25, 1913, the 16th Amendment (income tax) took effect. Prior to this, most federal revenue came from tariffs rather than taxes.

ANGEL FAMILIES: President Donald J. Trump declared February 22, the anniversary of Laken Riley’s death, as National Angel Family Day. In this context. “angels” are the thousands of American lives stolen by illegal aliens. CLICK https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2025955110715531439 to see the “Angel Families Remembrance Ceremony” that President Trump hosted in the East Room on Monday. There are also short clips posted in the Not The Bee piece linked below.

BABY BOXES: [6:03] – I thought this was a new idea. I was wrong.

CHURCH INVASION: A federal grand jury in Minnesota indicted nine individuals on felony charges, including conspiracy against rights of religious freedom at a place of worship and injuring, intimidating, or interfering with the exercise of religious freedom (via force, threat, or obstruction). All nine have pleaded not guilty and the cases are proceeding to trial. [8:25] – Jonathan Parnell, the pastor of the church that Don Lemon et al. invaded on January 18, has spoken about his experience. He said he had been attempting to read aloud from the Bible when “several individuals scattered throughout the sanctuary rose together and, like a flash mob, converged with chants and clenched fists.” When the mob shouted, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” that led worshipers to flee, “fearing it was an active shooter situation.

In that instant, I interpreted what was going on: this was about provocation, intimidation, and spectacle. They were here to incite violence. The spiritual dimension of it all came into focus. A malevolent darkness was behind this—the same darkness behind the murder of pre-born children, and the mutilation of children’s bodies, and the manipulation of children’s minds. Those were all evils our children had escaped, so now the weapon was terror.

The agitators screamed in our faces and said we weren’t a real church. They harassed individuals for their ethnicity and ‘uttered all kinds of evil’ against us falsely. They spewed lies upon lies, and our refusal to retaliate seemed only to frustrate them.

HOW JESUS DID IT: [16:28] – I wish I’d heard this 50 years ago. I grew up with bullies and vowed to never be one, because I knew first hand how much it hurt. But I believed my only other option was to suck it up and be a silent, smiling doormat. In therapy, I finally learned about boundaries, but it was not in a biblical context. However, what my therapist taught me amounted to what Kris says here – refusing retaliation while confronting rather than submitting to the abuse. One of the beauties of doing this has been that it quickly exposed which people were worth keeping in my life. The bullies and narcissists responded to boundary setting by icing me out. The genuinely lovely people responded with dialogue and relational growth.

CLIMATE HOAX: How alarmists use biased statistical analyses to create scary looking charts designed to alarm, rather than to educate. [6:40] – One issue I have with “oh noes warming” is the assumption that the current averages are ideal. They’re not. They’re just what we’re used to.

About Guardian Angels

The silence was full of angels” [23:24] – This wonderful message reminds me of a couple of experiences I’ve had with total strangers. In one, a man sat down next to me and began pouring his heart out about his spiritual struggles. What he was going through was what I had just been going through myself, so I had Bible verses and personal answers to prayer fresh in my mind. In the other, a woman in a parking lot started crying and telling me how she had miscarried, but because she was unmarried, none of the people in her life would let her grieve. I didn’t say much, just folded her into my arms and let her weep on my shoulder. I had never seen either of those people before and have never seen them since. But now I know how they happened to choose me!

DAILY PRAYER: Come, Holy Spirit. Fill our hearts and our minds. Enkindle in us the fires of your love and your wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: Our first president, George Washington, was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia Colony.

CATHOLIC: About 350,000 people have registered to venerate the relics of St. Francis of Assisi — the first public display of the bodily remains of the beloved saint. From Feb. 22 to March 22, the Lower Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi will welcome pilgrims from around the world who will come to the Italian city to pray before the body of the man whom ecclesial tradition has described as “the living mirror of the Gospel.

The event marks a moment of great historical and spiritual importance on the 800th anniversary of the saint’s death. For the first time, his body will be transferred from its resting place in an underground chapel and placed in front of the papal altar in the Lower Basilica. In this way, the church will hold a “revealed treasure” for one month, granting pilgrims time for veneration and prayer. Five of my nearest and dearest will be among them.

I would like to direct the governor to California’s Department of Public Health website, linked below, which provides a convenient means to replace a lost birth certificate.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN: [9:59] – Dr. Katie Hinde’s discovered that during nursing, a baby’s saliva actually travels backward into the mother’s nipple. This tiny drop of spit acts as a biological status report. If the baby is fighting a fever or an infection, the mother’s body detects the pathogens in the saliva. Within hours, her mammary glands transform into a pharmacy. The milk surges with specific white blood cells and custom antibodies designed to fight that exact illness. When the baby gets better, the “medicine” stops, and the milk returns to normal. It wasn’t just nutrition; it was a real-time conversation between two bodies. The baby was signaling a need, and the mother was responding with a cure. She also found that breast milk contains over 200 sugars that babies can’t even digest. These sugars exist solely to feed the “good” bacteria in a baby’s gut, essentially building an immune system from scratch.

I went with St Michael prayer and then also asked “whoever the patron saint of postal workers and mail carriers is” to please intercede for us. And sure enough, everything worked fine after that! So for good measure, I added “and please make sure my packages get where they’re going!” ❤

BTW, St. Gabriel is the patron saint of postal workers. The lily and horn are symbols associated with him. The “X” on his breastplate is likely meant to be the Greek letter “chi”, the first letter in ”christos” which means “annointed.”

CANADA: In 2017, Barry Neufeld was a school trustee for the Chilliwack School District who tried to protect kids by stopping woke school policies that have destroyed children’s safety across the Western world. The wokies have spent nearly a DECADE hauling him into court and this month, they won. The BC Human Rights Tribunal fined him $750,000 saying, “If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial.”

CATHOLICS and CAPPUCCINOS: [42:31] – Siobhan Fallon Hogan and Patricia Heaton discuss their first time meeting, faith, and rising to fame.

EPSTEIN: The newly released Epstein files contain evidence that Jeffrey Epstein had a long-standing fixation on the Vatican and hatred for the papacy. A tranche of emails and text messages, dating primarily from 2014 to 2019, reveals a pattern of mockery, ideological hostility, and political strategizing centered on the Vatican. In a 2013 email, he called the idea that “every life has equal value” “Catholicism at its worst.” And during Pope Francis’ September 2015 visit to the United States, Epstein exchanged messages with his brother, Mark Epstein, in which he suggested inviting Francis for a “massage,” followed by a lewd and sacrilegious joke about the Pope sexually climaxing while invoking the name of Jesus. In another message, Epstein quoted John Milton’s Paradise Lost – “Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” I’m guessing the man may now have discovered that it’s not “reign” in Hell, but rather “be enslaved” in Hell.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth aboard his Friendship 7 capsule.

ANTIFA: On Wednesday, FBI Director Kash Patel said his investigators have “a heavy, heavy stream of funding” fueling violent protest incidents in multiple states. “Tracking Antifa has become so important” that the bureau established additional resources to investigate the funding behind such activity, he said. Antifa has long been described by participants and many analysts as a decentralized movement rather than a formal organization, but Patel said there are organizational structures, including conferences and a national network for local chapters. In September 2025, Trump signed an executive order declaring Antifa a domestic terror organization after first raising the idea during his first term.

EPSTEIN: On Saturday, AG Bondi announced that all of the Epstein files have been released.

ANDREW, FERGIE, and JEFFREY: On Thursday, the Andrew formerly known as Prince was arrested on suspicion of having sent confidential trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein in 2010, when he was Britain’s special envoy for international trade. After the arrest, Andrew’s brother, King Charles III, said that the law must take its course in the investigation. The Thames Valley Police said the arrest was connected to correspondence between Andrew and Epstein that appeared in the Epstein files the DOJ released last month.

Among the OTHER damning revelations in the Epstein files is an email from Sarah Ferguson, former wife of former prince Andrew, pleading with the convicted pedophile to give her a job. “But why I don’t understand, don’t you just get me to be your House Assistant,” Ferguson allegedly wrote in the 2010 email. “I am the most capable and desperately need the money.

Sarah Ferguson has always struggled with finances, but 2010 was a particularly bad year,” royal commentator Meredith Constant told Fox News Digital. “In May of 2010, she was caught in a ‘cash-for-access’ scandal, when News of the World sent a reporter disguised as a businessman and caught Sarah Ferguson promising access to former Prince Andrew, who was the U.K. trade envoy at the time, in exchange for £500,000. This email to Epstein was sent mere days later. I’m not surprised she was getting creative to find employment.

KANSAS: Both sides of the state’s legislature voted to override the governor’s veto of the so-called “bathroom bill” which “biological sex” in the Kansas statute and applies to schools, public universities, and government buildings.

OKLAHOMA: Mustang Superintendent Dr. Charles Bradley for suspending 122 Mustang High School students who left class to protest ICE.

Because free speech is sacred, no student was disciplined for the content of their speech or viewpoint. However, truancy has consequences, which were rightly imposed. Investigation showed no employee of the school district participated in planning or executing the walkout.

While I’m happy to see at least one school administrator standing up for the rules, it does seems a tad back-assward to punish truancy with suspension.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Help us to repair the fabric of our great nation. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

VIRGINIA: Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger reversed Republican predecessor Glenn Youngkin’s agreement with DHS that allowed state and federal immigration authorities to share resources and information. Meanwhile, the Democrat-controlled chamber passed a measure 21-19 to bar Virginia law enforcement agencies from cooperating with ICE in most instances.

One of the scumbags these Democrats are so eager to protect has been arrested and thank goodness for that. Shayan Kahhal has been convicted of rape and two instances of forcible sodomy and has been charged with strong-arm rape, strong-arm sodomy of a woman, strong-arm sodomy of a boy and strong-arm sodomy of a girl.

Spanberger defended Dem’s refusal to help the feds round up criminals because “Virginians deserve to have their law enforcement resources devoted to the safety and security of their communities, not federal civil immigration enforcement.”

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: “Deciding that slavery was wrong was much easier than deciding what to do with millions of people from another continent, of another race, and without any historical preparation for living as free citizens in a society like that of the United States, where they were 20 percent of the population.

It is clear from the private correspondence of Washington, Jefferson, and many others that their moral rejection of slavery was unambiguous, but the practical question of what to do now had them baffled. That would remain so for more than half a century.” ~ Thomas Sowell

The HALO Law, which builds on existing “Move Over” laws regarding emergency scenes on roadways, establishes a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders while they perform their duties. Violators first receive a verbal warning not to approach from someone who they know or reasonably should know is a first responder; if they knowingly and willfully violate the warning and come within or remain within 25 feet of that first responder with the intent to impede or interfere with first responders’ ability to perform their duties, harass, or threaten with physical harm, they will be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. First responders include law enforcement officers, correctional probation officers, firefighters, and emergency medical care providers.

MINNESOTA: In March and early April 2025, Dylan Bryan Adams was captured on surveillance video keying at least six Teslas in Minneapolis parking lots. The vandalism was part of a broader wave of anti-Tesla/Musk protests tied to Musk’s role in DOGE, which focuses on cutting federal inefficiencies and identifying fraud in programs like Medicaid.

He was arrested by Minneapolis police in April 2025 on suspicion of felony criminal damage to property. But, because this was Minnesota, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office declined to press charges, despite the fact that Adams had caused approximately $20,000–$21,000 in damage.

Now we learn that this same individual has been employed by Minnesota DHS since 2018 as a financial policy compliance lead; his position is also referred to in reports as a fiscal policy analyst or data analyst. In this position, he was involved in reviewing and overseeing Medicaid fraud cases, including financial compliance and data analysis for the state’s welfare programs.

IOW, the guy who was never punished for vandalizing Teslas was busy, busy, busy ignoring the billion$ in blatant fraud going on in Minnesota.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We pray that our nation will turn to You wholeheartedly and seek to follow Your will in all things. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

Let’s Explain the SAVE Act & How This Affects Married Women Like We’re 10

Apparently this is too confusing for people to understand because we have democratic leaders fearmongering people into believing nonsense.

When you are born in the United States, you get a birth certificate. That birth certificate shows:

  • Your full name
  • Your date of birth
  • Your parents
  • Your place of birth

If you’re a girl, it has your maiden name. Why? Because no one knows if you’ll ever get married or who you’ll marry.

Now fast forward. You meet someone. You get married. What do you need to get married? A marriage license. You go to the courthouse. You apply. You get married. Everyone signs the paperwork. You file it. Then the courthouse issues a marriage certificate.

Your marriage certificate is what legally ties your maiden name to your married name. It shows:

  • Your maiden name (because that was your legal name when you filed)
  • Your spouse’s name
  • The legal connection between your old name and your new name

When you go to get a driver’s license, you will produce:

  • Your birth certificate (Smith)
  • Your marriage certificate (Smith → Johnson)

When you go to get a passport, you will produce:

  • Your birth certificate (Smith)
  • Your marriage certificate (Smith → Johnson)

When you go to update your Social Security, banking, insurance, taxes, and/or voter registration, you will produce:

  • Your birth certificate (Smith)
  • Your marriage certificate (Smith → Johnson)

There is literally nothing new about this.
