JAMES THE LESS: Season 3, Episode 6: “James the Last” (series finale) [9:36].

LENTEN MEDITATION: [7:05] – In 1979, my fiancé and I attended an Engaged Encounter week-end. At the first gathering, there were 18 couples; we were a bit late, so were seated at the end of the back row. For an ice breaker, the presenters had each couple stand and introduce each other, then say how they had met.

Couple after couple said, “We met in a bar.” After 17 straight “We met in a bar” announcements, the anticipation was palpable. We, the last couple, stood up. I introduced my fiancé and could hear a pin drop as I paused before saying, “We met in church.” Everybody lost it. LOLOLOL

We are now celebrating our 47th year together as a Catholic couple, so thankful to God for our three beautiful daughters, the amazing men they married, and the gorgeous grandkids they have gifted us. To my mind, “met in church” is the best possible beginning for a lifetime of happiness.

MEDIA: “Staggering” … “More than 140 US troops have been wounded in the Iran war, the Pentagon has confirmed. “ Only eight of the injuries has been considered “severe”; 108 of the wounded have already returned to duty.

PENNSYLVANIA: Gov Josh “No Kings” Shapiro’s neighbor is accusing him of stealing land in an “outrageous abuse of power.” Democrat (“Trump’s border wall is evil”) Josh wants to build a security barrier (aka, border wall) around his property. The problem is … part of his big, beautiful wall is on his neighbor’s property.

Last year, Shapiro and the owners failed to negotiate a mutually agreeable plan for Shapiro to either buy or lease the land, so on or about August 29, 2025, counsel for the Shapiros stated that the Shapiros would be taking “alternative actions” to obtain the property. And by “alternative actions”, the governor meant “steal by claiming squatters rights.”

Shapiro has not only planted arborvitae (fast-growing evergreen trees commonly used for privacy hedges) on the Mock property without permission, over the Mocks’ express objections, but also has used taxpayer resources to station State Police officers on the land to prevent the Mocks from using it.

The SAVE Act: @ZeekArkham responded to Schumer’s post with this:

Dear Chuck Schumer,

Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of “Eyes On the Prize” when I was younger.

With that said…

Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0?” Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).

With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.

Looking forward to your answer.

No hugs.

Zeek

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 10, 1862, the United States government issued its first widely circulated national paper money. These new notes, soon nicknamed “greenbacks,” were created during the financial strain of the American Civil War and transformed how the federal government financed itself. Before 1862, most Americans used coins made of gold, silver, or copper for everyday transactions. Paper money existed, but it usually came from private banks rather than the federal government.

GRAMMY NOTES: Back when Saddam Hussein invaded Iraq, the bottom fell out of the building industry. As an architect, my husband and his colleagues felt it first, as investors suddenly dropped out of a large, planned project. In a single day, the firm went from having the next year booked up to having about 2 weeks worth of work left to finish up the previous project. Anybody who wasn’t working on that project was laid off immediately. When one of those who stayed was handed her final paycheck, she said, with surprise, “What is this?!” “Your final paycheck.” “I thought you guys were out of money!” “Why did you keep coming to work if you thought we weren’t going to pay you?” “Because I’m a professional and I had an obligation to finish what I started.” I have rarely admired anyone as much.

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.”

GRAMMY NOTES: When I was 4, my father showed me an article in the newspaper that had a photo by the byline. He said, “This man says that, if you don’t stop sucking your thumb, your teeth will grow in crooked.” I went cold turkey. Now, I’m looking back 6.5 decades and wondering, “What that newspaper article was actually about?“

Congressman Michael Baumgartner commented, “This is poltical nonsense from Sen Warren. I went to the same briefing on Iran. I was confident before and am more confident now.“

CLICK https://x.com/ByrneAdri4500/status/2029030000007975176 [9:51] to hear Secretary of Defense Marco Rubio explain what the imminent threat was and why we acted preemptively.

He stresses that the purpose of the mission is to destroy the threats of Iran’s:

• short-range ballistic missiles which could shield and advance their nuclear-weapons; and,
• navy, which threatens shipping.

He also notes that unlike Iran, which hits airports, hotels, etc., the U.S. is not targeting civilians. Furthermore, the administration operation has complied with congressional notification requirements, giving the Gang of Eight more briefings on this one issue than he received during Biden’s all four years when he was a member.

TEXAS: In her primary for the Democratic nomination, Rep. Jasmine Crockett got 1% of the vote vs. the 99% her opponent got. Her response to losing was “They cheated!” and “This is what Republicans do!”

Sadly, James Talarico, the guy who beat her, is being lauded as “future of the Democrat Party.” CLICK https://x.com/greg_price11/status/2029041511644450838 [:59] to hear him claim that the Annunciation is proof that God approves of abortion. His theology boils down to “God asked Mary for her consent so we can ignore all the ‘Thou shalt not kill’ stuff.”

Another BIG loser was Rep. Dan Crenshaw who, after failing to get Sen. Cruz’ endorsement, lost to Republican Steve Toth by double digits.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uCmhjGcweRA [:57] to hear what happened to a Catholic boy in a Salt Lake City elementary school. Back when I was college shopping, I was considering a college in Logan. While camping, I met a non-Mormon Christian minister from the area who told me, “Don’t do it. When a newbie comes to town, the Mormon love bomb them, but when you make it clear you’re not going to convert, they ostracize you. You’ll end up being part of a tiny minority of non-Mormons. Also, the nearest Catholic Church is 80 miles away.”

SCOTUS: The Supremes just handed a historic victory to parents over California’s secret gender transition policies today, ruling 6-3 in Mirabelli v Bonta, and overturning California’s requirement that schools secretly facilitate children’s gender transitions without telling parents. The Court held that California “cut out the primary protectors of children’s best interests: their parents.” Even Justice Kagan said in her dissent that she has “no doubt” parents have these rights and that California “could have crossed the constitutional line.”

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Msgr. Rossetti writes, “As a priest-exorcist and as a licensed psychologist, I have been looking at the phenomenon, especially in the United States, of the “lone wolf terrorist.” These are the ones who are not formally part of a terrorist group, but rather commit acts of terror acting mostly alone. While they are all different and defy one stereotype, there does seem to be some similar characteristics which are particularly striking to someone who is in the exorcism ministry.” Click below to read the rest.
