DAILY PRAYER: We adore You and we praise You, O Christ, because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. Amen. Alleluia!
ALEX PRETTI: CLICK https://rumble.com/v74zyno-new-video-of-alex-pretti-confronting-ice-changes-everything.html [2:55] to see Alex Pretti two weeks before he was shot. He was not a peaceful protester.
If he’d been holding a gun, instead of a phone, the officers would not have merely told him to back off. It was obvious from the start that he had a phone. It was also obvious that he provoked the officers, refused to follow their instructions, pushed and shoved them, then reached for his weapon. IMO, he was looking to either be a hero to his comrades by shooting an officer or a martyr to the cause by getting shot.
AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 30, 1835, an unemployed house painter named Richard Lawrence tried and failed to assassinate President Andrew Jackson outside the US Capitol. This marked the first known assassination attempt against a sitting US president.
DICK DURBIN: Dick decried the death of Alex Pretti on the Senate floor while standing beside a giant, AI-produced and widely debunked “assassination” photo in which one federal agent has no head. Remember Dick and check your sources before you make a Dick of yourself.

MINNESOTA: [24:38] – White House border czar Tom Homan announced yesterday that state and city officials have agreed to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers in prisons, which will allow for a gradual reduction in the number of federal agents tasked to the area.
NARROW and TOXIC: [7:34] – IMO, “single cell amoeba” is giving the author of the Slate piece too much credit. “Virus” is more accurate.
As for Michelle Obama … she didn’t give up a law career to raise her kids. Within four years of passing the bar, she managed to violate attorney ethics to such a degree that her license to practice was terminated by court order.
Re: left vs. right nastiness … AOC and her live-in paramour have been engaged since April 2022, but have yet to set a wedding date. I can not imagine any right-winger in a similar position would not have nasty op-eds published about it. I haven’t even never seen it mentioned at any of the conservative sites I visit.
PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW: [32:10] – This is my first introduction to T.A.C.T. (Teaching the Autism Community Trades). I need a tissue.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Continue Your divine protection over our president and keep his family, loved ones, and supporters safe as well. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
S&G: Not The Bee reports that the makers of a yet-to-be-released indie video game called Knight’s Path announced they were not including any homosexual relationship options. Gay gamers got pretty huffy about it, urging gamers to skip Knight’s Path in favor of a game called 1348 Ex Voto, which features a female knight in a lesbian relationship. Knight’s path is now one of the top trending games.
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz sent this photo of Buzz’s bed. He asked to have paintings I have made for him to be hung next to where he sleeps. ::my heart::
