DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Remind us to look to you and to your help at every turn of our lives and forgive us when we forget. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AI: Common sense. Context. Consider the source. Cross-check. [8:38] – I’m doing my best not to ever pass on fake news, so if you catch me goofing up, LET ME KNOW.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 7, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell received the patent for the telephone. I was surprised to learn that Bell taught at the Boston School for Deaf Mutes. The article says that, throughout his life, he thought of himself not as an inventor or cultural innovator, which is how he is remembered by the world, but rather as a teacher of the deaf.

CALIFORNICATION: Rene Campos wants to become the first registered sex offender to win a seat on the Fresno City Council. On March 3, he held a press conference outside an elementary school. Please note: This is not satire.

DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1589746895686219 [1:47] to hear a clip of Obama lying his face off. Were Democrats always this way? The more I learn about party history, the more I’m inclined to say, “Yes.”

EPSTEIN FILES: In amongst the 1.39 million DOJ’s Epstein documents are a scant 40 that mentioned Donald Trump. They show that, at one time, Trump and Epstein had a friendly, social relationship which ended in 2004 when Trump had Epstein banned from Mar-a-Lago for sexually assaulting a minor female there. That’s it. Forty out of 1.39 million. Unlike so many, once Donald J. Trump knew what Jeffrey Epstein’s true character was, he cut him off. You can read the rest at the links below.

SIN SICK SOULS: A fan of Swedish pop star, Zara Larsson, posted on social media that she was glad her unborn baby had gotten to attend Larsson’s concert before she aborted it. Larsson responded with the comment above, which got 40,000 likes on TikTok and a quarter of a million likes on X. May God have mercy on them all.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: A United Methodist minister told lawmakers that biblical teaching supports government programs, a common enough argument among the left. But this time, a Texas congressman, Rep. Michael Cloud, responded with sound biblical exegesis that showed the falsity in her claim.

In an op-ed at Not The Bee, Peter Heck notes, “A minister had been invited to testify before Congress about what the Bible teaches, and yet the person asking the questions appeared far more comfortable navigating the text than the one claiming the title of teacher.

“That should be of the utmost concern to anyone calling themselves a Christian. The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the seriousness of teaching God’s Word. James warns that not many should presume to be teachers, because those who teach ‘will be judged more strictly. … The responsibility of pastors is not to provide theological cover for political movements. It is to faithfully teach the Word of God. And when that calling is neglected, it is the brotherhood of believers and the Kingdom of God that pay the price.”

TEXAS: James Talarico, the Democrat’s candidate for U.S. Senate, bills himself as a Christian and a Bible scholar. CLICK https://x.com/Protestia/status/2029269294362628217 [:24] to hear him use the heretical text known as “The Gospel of Thomas” to “prove: that Jesus was a feminist and that men must not be male, but must be female. First off, the text was never omitted from the Bible, as he claims, because it was never accepted as canonical in the first place. Secondly, it also says that Mary Magdalene must leave the company of disciples, for she is not a man, to which Jesus replies that he will make her a man, so she can stay.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, May your will be done everywhere on Earth as it is done in Heaven. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, an enslaved person, was not a U.S. citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court. It also ruled that slavery could not be banned from any federal territory. The decision deepened the national divide over slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War.

DEMOCRATS: Senators Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) co-sponsored a procedural vote to block the president’s ability to wage war against Iran without congressional approval. It failed 47 to 53.

Before the vote, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer said, “Today every senator — every single one — will pick a side.” With two exceptions – Rand Paul and John Fetterman – the senators voted with their parties.

HYPOCRITES: I was delighted to learn that my representative, Josh Riley, voted in favor of releasing the information.

The Military Authority of the Commander in Chief

When Democrats claim that President Trump cannot use military force without prior authorization from Congress, they are either ignoring the Constitution or pretending not to understand it.

Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution makes the President the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy. That authority is operational, immediate, and independent. It does not require Congress to issue a declaration of war before the President can act to defend American interests.

The Supreme Court settled this question in The Prize Cases. The Court held that when hostilities arise, the President is not only authorized but obligated to respond without waiting for Congress. A declaration of war recognizes a condition — it does not create the President’s power to repel force.

Congress has the power to declare war under Article I, Section 8. That is a political recognition of sustained, formal war between sovereigns. It is not a prerequisite for tactical, defensive, or limited military engagement. If it were, every modern president since World War II would have acted unconstitutionally — including Democrat presidents.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires notification within 48 hours and sets a 60-day framework absent authorization. It does not strip the President of the authority to initiate force. It regulates reporting and duration. Every president — Republican and Democrat — has exercised military authority under Article II while navigating that statute.

Let’s be honest about the politics.

When a Republican occupies the Oval Office, Democrats suddenly rediscover “Congressional authorization.” When a Democrat orders airstrikes in Libya, conducts drone campaigns across sovereign borders, or expands military footprints abroad, the outrage quiets down.

This pattern is not constitutional principle. It is partisan positioning — particularly with midterm elections approaching, when energizing the base matters more than institutional consistency.

The President does not need a declaration of war to protect the United States.

He has the authority.

He has the duty.

And history, statute, and Supreme Court precedent support that reality.

If critics claim otherwise, the burden is on them to explain why their argument did not apply to administrations of their own party. CLICK https://x.com/TVNewsNow/status/2028476224134173068 [:16] to hear then-Speaker Pelosi affirm that POTUS did not need authorization to bomb Libya.

War on Iran

Israel and the U.S. launched a massive joint military operation against Iran on Saturday, known as “Operation Epic Fury.” The attacks have already left major leaders dead, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The joint military operation is expected to carry on for days. Officials tell Fox News that Israel is targeting Iranian leadership, while the U.S. is targeting military targets and ballistic missile sites that pose an “imminent threat.”

According to the presidential candidate Trump trounced, “Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.”

If Iran got nukes and set them off here, Democrats would blame Trump for not stopping them.

On CNN, Sara Sidner asked Scott Jennings, “How do you square the no war promise with the potential of a protracted war?” Jenning replied, “Well, first of all, the president has consistently, over the course of his entire public life, said he will NEVER permit the Iranian regime to have a nuclear weapon. That’s why he took action last summer, and that’s part of the reason he took action today. So I don’t see this as him starting a war. I see this as a preventative measure to prevent a war against the largest state sponsor of terror in the world.

“My view is this is a new day for the people of Iran. It’s a new day for the Middle East. And it’s a new day for the world, because the most courageous commander in chief of my lifetime said, ‘I’m not putting up with this. We’ve been banging our head against a wall for 47 years, while these guys terrorized the world. And I’m not going to permit it any longer.’

“So when I see these Iranian people in LA and other places celebrating, I can only imagine their emotions and the emotions of the people in Iran who now have a chance to take back their country and restore what was once a great pro-Western country. That’s the end goal here. No more war, but peace and a government and a culture in Iran that can actually participate with the rest of the world, instead of terrorize it. That’s what the president did, he oughta be commended for it.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We surrender today into Your hands and ask You to guide every step we take. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 1, 1971, a bomb exploded in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., causing an estimated $300,000 in damage. The Weather Underground claimed responsibility. In his 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, former Weatherman and long-time Obama supporter, Bill Ayers, claimed he had been involved.

The “Weathermen” were a radical, violent faction of the Marxist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The group, which favored arson and bombings as a means of protesting what they perceived to be wrong with American society, detonated bombs at the U.S. State Department and at the Pentagon, as well as dozens of other sites across the U.S. Their bombs were always preceded by telephoned warnings and the only casualties were three of their own who were killed while make explosives in 1969.

Photo: Workers sift through bomb debris. In today’s dollars, the damages cost taxpayers more than $2 million to repair.

TRANS: Former New Hampshire state Rep. Stacie Laughton was lauded as the first openly transgender person to be elected to a state legislature. After his former partner, Lindsay Groves, admitted taking sexually explicit photos of male and female children, ages 3 to 5 years, at the Massachusetts day care where she worked and sending them to Laughton, he pleaded guilty. Officials say Laughton asked Groves for the photos and the two exchanged more than 10,000 text messages about them, then showed them to other adults. In one of the texts, Laughton allegedly wrote about having oral sex with a girl, only to have Groves note, “She’s not even 3 yet.” Laughton replied, “Do you think God would be OK with me being a minister?” to which Groves replied, “I think God will be OK with all of that.” Laughton was supposed to have been sentenced on February 12, 2026, but the details have not been made public.

GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/boDF5FLIzXw [1:49] to hear why you should never assume that no news is good news. – I had upper and lower GI ‘oscopy exams, after which the doctor told me everything was fine. His report went to my primary who never mentioned it. I still had problems and, because I had been very unhappy with the way the first office treated me, I asked for a referral to a different gastro office. At my intake, the PA looked up the ‘oscopy report and images and told me they showed I had a hiatal hernia, esophageal erosion, and bowel impaction! I’m still not sure how any of that adds up to “fine.” I worked with her for 6 months to get my digestion working properly. When I asked my primary why he hadn’t told me I had esophageal erosion, he looked genuinely shocked and quickly called up the test results on his computer. He had never looked at them, but had just taken the “everything was fine” summary at face value.

We are at war – UPDATED!






UPDATE: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced they believe the Iranian dictator, Ali Khamenei, was killed when his compound was destroyed.

February 28, 2026: President Donald J. Trump on the United States Military Major Combat Operations in Iran [8:06]

OPERATION EPIC FURY: “[Iran] rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions and we can’t take it anymore. Instead they attempted to rebuild their nuclear programs and to continue developing long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas, and could soon reach the American homeland.

“Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they … actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message.

“For these reasons the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this wicked and radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground … we are going to annihilate their navy, we’re going to ensure that the region’s terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world.”
