BORDER: The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) was signed into law by Democrat President Bill Clinton on September 30, 1996. It became effective on April 1, 1997 and is still the law of the land.

The IIRAIRA created stricter border enforcement, increased penalties for document fraud, and expanded grounds for deportation. It made it a criminal offense for an alien to vote in a federal election and introduced reentry bans for undocumented immigrants who overstay visas or violate conditions.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1625882612576701 [1:51] to hear what Josh Pray learned about the Sign of the Cross, which by the way, is considered a prayer in and of itself.

I posted in the comments, asking him to do the the cross on forehead, lips and heart Catholics do before the priest reads the Gospel at Mass. The prayer that goes with that is “May the Word of the Lord be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.”

I adapted it to a personal morning prayer. I pour some holy water into my left palm and dip my thumb in, do my forehead, lips and heart, then do each ear (“in my ears“), then rub my hands together to spread the water around and end with, “and in all that I do. Amen.“

EDUCATION: @mattvanswol commented, “Uhhhhh, this seems kind of insane to me. When I was in school, a B+ was a 92 and an A- was a 93-95.”

FRAUD: Khalid Satary (54) is a foreign national who owned and operated multiple diagnostic testing laboratories in the United States between 2016 and 2019. The DOJ says he billed Medicare for “expensive and medically unnecessary genetic tests” that were reimbursed at the rate of $10,000 to $20,000 per sample. To run the operation, Satary allegedly paid millions of dollars in bribes and illegal kickbacks to patient recruiters and doctors. On July 20 this year, he was arrested in the Middle East; he is now in U.S. custody facing charges related to defrauding Medicare of $547 million.

DEMOCRATS: The leftie rag, The Atlantic, just published a piece entitled “The Return of the Democratic Manly Man: The party has a new campaign strategy: masculinity.”

Not The Bee reports, “Here’s part of the Atlantic’s story on the “manly men” of the Democratic Party:

Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. ‘There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,’ Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be ‘a manly man.’

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker. He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard.

Previous attempts to appeal to male voters included Tampon Tim Walz, Gay Mayor Pete with a Beard Bootyjudge, James “I’m a Christian, really!” Talafreako, and Nazi-tat, women-beater Graham Platner.
