DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray for unity, understanding, and the strength to continue the fight for justice and equality. Help us to carry on Dr. King’s legacy and bring about the world he dreamed of. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. A Baptist minister, King sought equality for all Americans and fought for peaceful solutions to racial issues.

EDUCATION: The Chicago Teachers Union is largest in the nation. It recently pushed out an ad promoting a tax hike on millionaires and billionaires. There were only 2 things wrong with it. 1. The ultra-wealthy (top 0.1%) already pay 33.4% (i.e., far more than their “fair share”) of all the taxes in this country. 2. Governor is spelled wrong. Since those are both fact-based, one might have hoped the TEACHERS union would have done better!

ICE: CLICK https://x.com/RickyDoggin/status/2011205438893879386 [1:33] to hear a liberal white woman get all weepy and defensive after a conservative calmly explains to her that she’s wrong.

CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/2011168148431716737 [1:34] to hear President Trump declare that, “starting February 1st, we’re not making any payments to Sanctuary Cities or states having sanctuary cities…because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American Citizens, and it breeds fraud and crime.”

Grok says the following states have sanctuary cities: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. In addition, Hawaii and Maryland have statewide sanctuary policies.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/Thevictoria76/status/2011092812151079180 [2:13] to hear what Paul Harvey used to call “the rest of the story” in regards to claims on the Slime Stream Media that ICE agents are abusing their powers.

SOMALIA: The Trump administration has decided to end temporary protection for Somali nationals in the United States. This “temporary” status has existed since 1991.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says, “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status. Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”

There are 2,471 Somali nationals in the United States under the status, also known as TPS. Another 1,383 are in the country with pending TPS applications. They’re all supposed to go home before St. Patrick’s Day.

TDS: CLICK https://x.com/jayplemons/status/2010849545945571664 [1:13] to hear Greg Gutfeld make a really interesting point about what he calls “Trump Derangement Addiction.” I agree. And I think there are two key factors. One is that anger generates adrenaline, which in it self is addictive. The other is that anger blocks other emotions, like sadness, so if you’re unhappy with your life, being perpetually angry is a way of self-medicating.

WHITE WOMEN: CLICK https://x.com/PhilHollowayEsq/status/2011246547087081923 [:11] to see liberal white women protesting something or other. The poster asks, “Here again, I can’t understand the extreme hyperemotional, quivering, shaking, quaking, vitriolic screaming behavior Is there a psychiatrist out there that can explain this?” Best response, “Joe Rogan said it best ‘the least connected, most lost people; he knows, often turning ideologies into their ‘God; in religion’s absence, making them ‘more rigid in their perspectives.’ The absence of God in these people’s lives has taken a toll.”
