AMERICAN HISTORY: Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. “The first citizen of Philadelphia,” Franklin was a printer, inventor, postmaster, and the only person to sign all four of the key documents in US history.
EDUCATION: A guidance counselor at Marshall Elementary School in Eureka, Kansas, asked sixth graders to name their heroes. But when students named Charlie Kirk or President Trump, she scolded them and refused to allow the names to be added to the board.
Parents complained about this viewpoint discrimination, leading to a faux “apology” to students, during which the principal instructed students that, in the future, they should bring concerns to school officials – not their parents. The principal stated that the school should also be considered their family.
The ACLJ has filed a federal discrimination complaint to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Education, asking for an investigation into the school district policies and practices and seeking formal findings that the school engaged in religious and political viewpoint discrimination and violated fundamental parental rights.
ELMER FRAUD: Rep. Mike Wiener (R-Long Prairie) has introduced articles of impeachment against Governor Tim Walz, outlining four separate charges.

- Article two alleges Walz violated his oath of office by “actions and omissions that interfered with lawful oversight, investigation, or corrective action related to fraud in Minnesota state agencies.”
- Article three alleges Walz violated his oath of office by “placing political consideration above lawful administration, thereby breaching the public trust.”

I’VE GOT A SECRET: [8:23] – The poster wrote, “Timothy (the bug eater) went on to do some freelance writing for Saturday Night Live back in the early Belushi/Chase/Radnor years.” After watching his performance as a toddler, I’m thinking he was born for comedy.

SCIENCE: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited, lifelong and painful blood disorder in which red blood cells are shaped like crescents instead of discs, restricting blood flow and causing organ damage.
Sufferers live with chronic, often extreme pain, frequent hospitalizations, and shortened life expectancy. Some sufferers have been cured through bone marrow transplants, but these required rare, perfectly matched donors. New treatments recently approved by the FDA require only partial matches, offering the possibility of cures for the vast majority of sufferers.

VAXXXINE: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the dismissal of federal charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a Utah physician who was charged with having destroyed government-provided COVID-19 vaccines, issuing fraudulent vaccination record cards, and administering saline injections to some children instead of the actual vaccine, at the parents’ request, so the children would believe they had been vaccinated. Bondi said, “Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”
GRAMMY NOTES: In Junior High, I walked 2 miles to and from school. To avoid having to drive me when it was pouring rain, my mother bought me a bright yellow plastic poncho with a hood that had a brim on it. I looked like a giant rubber duckie. I’m 71 years old and thinking seriously about maybe forgiving her before I die.
