DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to not make messes for You to clean up. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
AI: Yesterday, Grok told me Orlando’s rainbow crosswalk had not been repainted in years.
BORDER: Remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the MS-13 gang banger who has been the poster boy for Democrats’ opposition to Trump’s deportation efforts?
The Laughing Stock Media continue to report that he was “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador, which is his home country. As a known gang member, El Salvador locked him up and the Dems sent emissaries to El Savador so they could take photos of themselves for fund raising.
El Salvador sent him back to face federal human smuggling charges and, on Friday, he was released to home detention while he awaits trial.
But wait …the United States had made a deal with Uganda to take deportees who, like Abrego Gardia, don’t want to return to their home countries or whose home countries refuse to take them. Uganda prefers they not be violent criminals. Since Dems insist Abrego Garcia isn’t a human trafficking, woman beating scumbag who works for MS-13, he could go to Uganda. Right?

CANADA: Starting next month, Canada will drop its silly retaliatory tariffs and do what Trump said, which is fairly match our tariffs.
CATHOLIC: In 662, Maximus was convicted of heresy for teaching that Jesus possessed both a human and a divine will, a position rejected by then-Emperor Constans. He had his tongue cut out and his right hand cut off, so that he could no longer speak or write about his opposition to the imperial theology. He died soon after. Eighteen years later, the Sixth Ecumenical Council declared that Christ possessed both a human and a divine will and Maximus was posthumously declared innocent.

EDUCATION: Loudon County is at it again. The uber woke North Virginia school district investigated three high school boys for complaining about a girl using their locker room, then let the Muslim boy off the hook, while punishing the other two, who are Christians. Jason Miyares, Virginia’s Republican attorney general, has announced an investigation into the school district over the incident. The Founding Freedoms Law Center is representing the two boys.

HOUSING: I’ve been watching a YouTube of proud tiny home owners bragging their weensy little $200K house was such a bargain. I mean … seriously?!
We paid $42,000 for our little ranchburger back in 1984. Granted, it was a nothing special starter home, but it was sturdy, everything worked properly, and it was/is in a great neighborhood. It had 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a partially finished full basement. IOW, much larger than anything that qualifies as a tiny house. At 210.8% inflation, a house like ours should cost about $130,000. But according to the map above, the average home in New York currently costs $482,700, which suggests even a starter home is going for waaaay more than $130K.
I plugged the NYS average income ($86K) into the mortgage calculator linked below. It says someone with that income should be able to comfortably afford a house costing up to $287,739. Wow. No wonder so many young people and retirees are opting for tiny homes!

GRAMMY NOTES: Why should kids learn handicrafts? [9:56] – Her comments about students lacking hand dexterity reminds me of two things. I remember video games being lauded as being useful for training eye-hand coordination. It appears they are not. I also remember hearing that Japanese kids who learn early to eat with chopsticks and do origami have unusually good hand dexterity.
