FOX’S SUNDAY MORNING: Ranking member of the House Intel Committee Devin Nunes (R-CA) says is he preparing to send 8 criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week concerning leaks of “highly classified material” and conspiracies to lie to Congress and the FISA court. Thanks to Devin Nunes, we may soon find out who leaked General Flynn’s phone calls to Russian Ambassador Kislyak to the media.
2020 TRUMP: The Democrats are “horrible and extreme.” They are “stone cold crazy.” “We have to win.”
BORDER: Where the wall won’t help – Because of a loophole in our immigration law, anybody who shows up at the border toting a child gets to come right on in. Mostly, they’re just looking to make some money, then go back home. It’s a complicated, messy situation that the Left’s hyper-political “WHATEVER TRUMP WANTS IS EVIL” attitude will never help.
LIARS GOING DOWN: To the Left, the fact that Trump is president means the hate must be real, even if they have to fake the “evidence” to prove it. – “One of the biggest factories in the fake-hate industry is experiencing a crisis. The Southern Poverty Law Center has lost three of its top officials — co-founder Morris Dees, longtime president Richard Cohen, and legal director Rhonda Brownstein — amid scandalous accusations of sexual harassment, discrimination and, yes, even racism. The stench from this scandal was enough to provoke a blistering denunciation of the SPLC’s modus operandi from progressive journalist Nathan J. Robinson, who condemned the group’s annual hate-map as “an outright fraud.” – Robert Stacy McCain at Spectator
VENEZUELA: Socialism fails again – There is seemingly no end to the suffering of ordinary citizens. They have to cope with shortage of food, electricity, medicine, and other essentials. A young doctor told Aid to the Church in Need about a young girl who came to her hospital with a ruptured appendix. They extracted the festering liquid in her abdomen, but had no antibiotics for her subsequent post-op treatment. And her father couldn’t afford it anyway. Each dose costs 50,000 bolivars; the girl needed three doses a day. The father was earning 20,000 bolivars per month. Without a miracle from God Himself, that little girl is going to die a slow and very painful death.

TDS: I was intrigued by her claim that Paloma had no right to videotape her, so I did some research. According to an article in videomaker, people generally have a right to record matters of public interest that occur in a public place. Those who photograph or record others against their will may be charged with illegal eavesdropping, disorderly conduct, obstruction of governmental administration or trespass.
In California, where this incident took place, it is not a crime just to listen in on a private conversation between people who may not know you can hear them, but it is a crime to use an electronic device to overhear or record a private conversation.
FOUR SINS THAT CRY OUT: There are four serious sins described in Scripture as “crying out” to God for justice.
CONFESSION: I sometimes hear or read the wrong-headed idea that Catholics can just “sin, go to confession, then sin again.” Ah, no. As Pope Francis emphasized on Palm Sunday, people must have a firm resolve to change their lives when they ask for forgiveness of their sins.
It’s in the Act of Contrition: “Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee. And I detest all my sins, because of thy just punishment. But most of all because it offended thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.”
Receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation (aka, going to confession) without true repentance and a firm resolve to not sin again is, in itself, a sin.
THE POSTMAN: A Twitter user in Texas posted photos of a note her mailman father received from one of the homes on his route. She wrote: “My dad is a mailman and he likes to give dogs on his route treats. Today he told us one of the dogs on his route passed away and his owners gave him this bag of treats with this note. … ‘Gretchen passed away yesterday. She asked me to ask you if you would share her treats that she never got to finish with the other dogs on your route. She always enjoyed seeing you come to the door and was always happy to get a snack from you.’”
