DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please give us the graces we need to make the “don’t care” part really true. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BIG STICK: [19:42] – CLICK https://x.com/ABC/status/1919792210318340216 [1: 20] to hear Trump announce that the Houthis “don’t want to fight any more.” “We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships any more.”
According to Julien Miquel (YouTube), the correct English pronunciation for “Houthis” is HOO – theez (hard “th” as in bath).

DOGE: A National Science Foundation grant for more than $800,000 has been canceled. The money was being used to train college science and math education majors how to promote “social justice” and “cultural responsiveness” in their classrooms.
Another $8.4 million has been saved by canceling three DEI training programs.
A further $198 million was saved by terminating 148 wasteful contracts, including one at HHS for “potency monitoring of confiscated marijuana samples.”

REAL ID: Starting today, you must have a REAL ID or a compliant document before boarding a domestic flight. Usually, a REAL ID takes the form of a driver’s license or a non-driver photo ID card issued by a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent. States may issue such documents even if they are not REAL IDs. If your document is also a REAL ID, this is indicated by the presence of a black or gold star in the top corner of the plastic card.
At present, every state, the District of Columbia, and federal territory issues driver’s licenses and non-driver ID cards that are REAL IDs. Some also issue non-REAL ID cards to citizens and residents. These non-REAL ID cards are often cheaper to obtain and do not require as many supporting documents, making them attractive to individuals who merely want a license or ID for everyday purposes. They are also regularly issued to illegal immigrants by some states.
Usually, these non-REAL ID documents will have a notation that reads “Not Valid for Federal Purposes” or an equivalent and will not bear the required black or gold star.
REPARATIONS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1gg_G9Gd0Pw to hear a black supremacist tell us why he “deserves” a million dollars. The way I understand it, President Lincoln gave his ancestor who was actually a slave 40 acres and a mule. Why does anyone owe this joker, who was never a slave, anything?!
SCOTUS: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an “unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy.”
The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down. Litigation continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
