AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 24, 1663, King Charles II approved the Carolina Charter, granting land in America to a group of eight Englishmen. Establishing the first laws in the Carolina province, it guaranteed religious and political freedom.

BORDER: Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman (18) was shot in the head by an illegal alien while she and friends were out watching the Northern Lights. DHS confirms that the suspect, Jose Medina-Medina, is now in federal custody facing charges of first degree murder, aggravated assault, and unlawful possession of a weapon.

In May 2023, he was caught at the border trying to enter illegally from Venezuela; the Biden administration’s open border policy forced Border Patrol to release him into the interior. In June 2023, he was caught shoplifting in Chicago, but was released rather than turned over to ICE, because of the Democrats’ sanctuary city policy.

I saw comments on this story suggesting it was Trump’s fault that he was still in the country, that ICE should have already removed him. These are the same people who complain about rapists being deported. This guy’s only known crimes before known have been shoplifting and being here illegally … exactly the kinds of things Democrats say aren’t “real” crimes.

IRAN: On Saturday, Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward the joint U.S.–U.K. military facility at Diego Garcia. One missile broke apart during flight, while a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyed the other. Although neither missile hit the base, the distance they traveled exceeded what was long assumed to be the maximum range for Iranian missiles.

In response to the attacks, Anthony Scaramucci shot out the tweet shown above. His phrasing suggests he assumed “the Diego Garcia” is one of our ships. It’s not. It’s an island on which we and the Brits have shared a military base for more than half a century.

SCHUMER SHUT DOWN SUMMARY: Since February 14, 2026, Democrats have refused to fund DHS, demanding immigration enforcement reforms within ICE and CBP. Although these two agencies are within DHS, they are already funded, so the shutdown is mainly affecting TSA airport screening, Coast Guard, FEMA, Secret Service, and CISA cybersecurity.

Over 85,000 essential DHS personnel are working without regular paychecks; hundreds of TSA workers can’t afford this and have been forced to quit. Elon Musk has offered to pay them, but I haven’t heard if Trump has taken him up on that offer.

Republicans have repeatedly brought forward bills to fund all of DHS at prior levels or with minimal changes, which Democrats have voted down. These bills passed the House, but are hung up in the Senate, where they have a 60-vote threshold.

Democrats have put up targeted bills to fund just TSA, but Republicans (with White House backing from/pressure by President Trump) have voted them down.

Democrats are now saying the problems at the airports are Republicans’ fault. Republicans are accusing Democrats of holding national security hostage for political/immigration reasons.

LENTEN MEDITATION: Today is the Feast of St. Joseph who is rightly called “Terror of Demons.” Msgr. Rosetti writes about an exorcism during which they felt called to pray the Litany of St. Joseph. During the prayer, the demons were strongly affected whenever they said, “St. Joseph, Terror of Demons.”

“I will never forget the hatred of the demons and their desperation when we said the Litany of St Joseph. During that moment I felt his presence and help. In fact, I was granted a vision of St. Joseph at that time. When we invoked his help, I could see him in the room. It is a moment I will never forget.’

GAS PRICES: When gas prices spiked under Biden, the media said it wasn’t POTUS’ fault, because gas prices are “set globally.” They called it “Putin’s price hike.”

Now that prices are up because of Trump’s war on Iran, the media is happy to blame him.

TEXAS: [2:49] – On Tuesday, Kyle Najm Chris (39) entered Zwink Elementary School in Klein, TX, carrying a gun and taser and wearing military tactical gear. Chris is a naturalized citizen from Iraq who changed his name from Muhi Mohanad Nahm to “Kyle Nahm Chris” possibly as an homage to SEAL sniper, Chris Kyle. On LinkedIn, he listed himself as a private investigator/security officer named “Chris Muhi.”

On Tuesday, Chris slipped through the first set of doors by following someone who either held them open or failed to ensure they closed. Fortunately, the school’s second set of security doors blocked him from entering the hallways and approaching any school children.

After entering the school, he reportedly asked the school’s secretary if there was an armed officer on campus. When asked to identify himself, he refused to do so and, when he was told there was an armed officer on campus, he left the school and drove away in a dark blue Dodge Charger.

Chris has no personal connection to Zwink or any other school in Klein. He was arrested and is currently out on bond, facing a felony charge of possession of a prohibited weapon.

LENTEN MEDITATION: “Albert Göring was the younger brother of Hermann Göring, one of the most powerful figures in Nazi Germany, but Albert took a radically different path. Born into the same influential Bavarian family, he grew up watching his brother rise within the Nazi hierarchy while he himself rejected the regime’s ideology.

“During the 1930s and throughout World War II, Albert quietly used his family name and connections to help Jews, political dissidents, and other persecuted people escape arrest, secure forged documents, or flee the country.

“He even intervened directly at factories and offices, demanding the release of forced laborers by signing orders with the Göring name, knowing officials would obey out of fear of his brother.

“After the war, Albert’s moral courage was overshadowed by the infamy of his surname. Despite testimonies from survivors he had saved, he was detained and interrogated by Allied authorities who struggled to believe a Göring could have opposed Nazism.

“Though eventually cleared, he returned to a Germany that wanted nothing to do with the relatives of high-ranking Nazis. He lived the rest of his life in obscurity, working modest jobs and dying in 1966 without public recognition.

“Only decades later did historians begin to uncover the extent of his humanitarian efforts, revealing a man who risked everything to defy his own family and the regime they served.”

SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE? After New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani decided to proudly celebrate iftar inside city hall, conservatives expressed outrage over a religious ritual being performed on government property.

Our junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, huffily described these concerns as “Islamaphobia”, to which Jason Howerton responded, “3 Islamic terror attacks in 2 weeks and Democrats’ biggest concern is ‘Islamophobia.’ The literal definition of toxic empathy.”

I think Greg Strange said it best – “There’s no such thing as ‘Islamophobia.’ A phobia, by definition, is an irrational fear, whereas the fear of Islam is as coldly rational as the Second Law of Thermodynamics or the quadratic equation.”

Mamdani’s snarky response to concerns was, “Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.”

I guess that means he’ll be celebrating seder meals with Jewish New Yorkers this coming April 1 and 2?

It beggars belief that he penetrated their 6-month-old’s vagina and the parents didn’t notice the damage and realize what he’d done! Please God, protect this girl and her siblings from further harm!

UTAH: In March 2022, Kouri Richards’ husband, Eric, died suddenly. In May 2023, she self-published a book she had written for her children about coping with the loss of a parent. This week, the mother of three was found guilty of having taken out large insurance policies on her husband, then attempting to kill him, then successfully killing him. She was also convicted of two counts of fraudulent insurance claims and forgery. Maybe with all the time she’ll have in prison, she can write a book for her children about coping with a parent being a murderer.

WASHINGTON: Last November, a bunch of Seattle baristas organized themselves into a barristas’ union and went on strike, demanding better pay and working conditions. When they ran out of money and decided they wanted to come back to work, they found out Starbucks was closing their store and was not offering any of them the opportunity to transfer to another store.

Maybe they can organize themselves into a baristas’ collective and operate their own shop. I mean … the location is available and already set up for coffee, right? And they obviously think they know better than Starbucks how to run a business. It would be sweet revenge if they succeeded in making a go of it, while providing better pay and working conditions than Starbucks did. And if they can’t because, you know, running a business is hard, maybe they would grow up and learn some important life lessons.

WOLF in SHEEP’S CLOTHING: CLICK https://x.com/Protestia/status/2034213528551178740 [2:21] to hear an Episcopal pastor claim that Jesus was flirting with the Samaritan woman at the well, because “living water” was supposedly “a first century euphemism for semen.”

I asked Grok, “Is there any evidence that ‘living water’ was a ‘first century euphemism for semen’?”

Grok replied, “No, there is no credible historical, linguistic, or scholarly evidence. The claim is a modern fringe interpretation, often tied to sensational sermons, esoteric/New Age teachings, or highly speculative readings of John 4 (the Samaritan woman at the well).”

This jackass minister’s interpretation doesn’t even make sense in context, but I guess that doesn’t matter if your congregation doesn’t bother to read the Bible. I agree with the commenters on the video who said things like, “This guy’s computer needs to be checked for bad things.”

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 18, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the War Relocation Authority to manage the enforced internment of Japanese-Americans internment camps during World War II. About two-thirds of those interned were U.S. citizens.

Graphic: 1942 editorial propaganda cartoon in the New York newspaper PM by Dr. Seuss depicting Japanese Americans in California, Oregon, and Washington—states with the largest population of Japanese Americans—as prepared to conduct sabotage against the U.S.

Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, who published many patriotic cartoons during the War, supported internment, saying: “Right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and warble: “Brothers!” It is a rather flabby battle cry. If we want to win, we’ve got to kill Japs, whether it depresses John Haynes Holmes or not. We can get palsy-walsy afterward with those that are left.“

Gholamreza Soleimani. With the old Ayatollah dead and his son reportedly seriously wounded, Larijani was considered the de facto leader of the failing regime.

LENTEN MEDITATION: “To help us distinguish between right and wrong, God has given us a conscience that serves as a kind of spiritual radar. The condition you keep it in will determine how much you can trust it.

“The sacred conscience is one that has been kept spotless through confession of sin (1 John 1:9) and reflects a desire to know and follow God’s will. Once we are cleansed, we can live without guilt, walking openly and transparently. When we do sin, we know immediately that we need to get right with God.

“The struggling conscience is clogged with rules and regulations, and its spirit of legalism makes us critical of our performance. Having created our own system of “should, ought, and must,” we use it to determine right or wrong. In doing so, we show a lack of understanding about God’s righteousness, which can never be replaced with self-righteousness (Philippians 3:8-10).

“The soiled conscience is stained from harboring sin. If we consistently choose our way over God’s, we lose sight of what’s beautiful and true.

“The seared conscience is insensitive to sin. When we resist and ignore its warnings, it will become numb and unresponsive.

“Ask God to show you how well your conscience is operating, and where there’s room for improvement, allow Him to restore it.”

SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL: The 2026 Emerging Liberty Dime is a one-year-only US coin designed to celebrate our nation’s 250^th anniversary. The reverse of the coin depicts a bald eagle clutching only arrows in its left talon, while its right one is empty. The coin bears dual dates of 1776 – 2026 and will temporarily replace the Roosevelt dime. According to design creator Eric David Custer, the omission of the olive branch in the right talon is a direct nod to the American Revolution, where colonists were still waiting for peace.

GRAMMY NOTES: Once upon a time, my brother hosted groups of students from China who always asked to see a real American grocery store. When they saw how much good quality food there was, they would insist that he had taken them to one of the stores the government maintains to impress foreigners. So he’d put them on the bus and drive around, letting them visit any store they pointed at. Once they realized that plenty was normal for us, they’d go shopping. They’d buy so much stuff, they often had a hard time getting it all on to the plane home.
