DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We surrender today into Your hands and ask You to guide every step we take. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 1, 1971, a bomb exploded in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., causing an estimated $300,000 in damage. The Weather Underground claimed responsibility. In his 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, former Weatherman and long-time Obama supporter, Bill Ayers, claimed he had been involved.

The “Weathermen” were a radical, violent faction of the Marxist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The group, which favored arson and bombings as a means of protesting what they perceived to be wrong with American society, detonated bombs at the U.S. State Department and at the Pentagon, as well as dozens of other sites across the U.S. Their bombs were always preceded by telephoned warnings and the only casualties were three of their own who were killed while make explosives in 1969.

TRANS: Former New Hampshire state Rep. Stacie Laughton was lauded as the first openly transgender person to be elected to a state legislature. After his former partner, Lindsay Groves, admitted taking sexually explicit photos of male and female children, ages 3 to 5 years, at the Massachusetts day care where she worked and sending them to Laughton, he pleaded guilty. Officials say Laughton asked Groves for the photos and the two exchanged more than 10,000 text messages about them, then showed them to other adults. In one of the texts, Laughton allegedly wrote about having oral sex with a girl, only to have Groves note, “She’s not even 3 yet.” Laughton replied, “Do you think God would be OK with me being a minister?” to which Groves replied, “I think God will be OK with all of that.” Laughton was supposed to have been sentenced on February 12, 2026, but the details have not been made public.

GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/boDF5FLIzXw [1:49] to hear why you should never assume that no news is good news. – I had upper and lower GI ‘oscopy exams, after which the doctor told me everything was fine. His report went to my primary who never mentioned it. I still had problems and, because I had been very unhappy with the way the first office treated me, I asked for a referral to a different gastro office. At my intake, the PA looked up the ‘oscopy report and images and told me they showed I had a hiatal hernia, esophageal erosion, and bowel impaction! I’m still not sure how any of that adds up to “fine.” I worked with her for 6 months to get my digestion working properly. When I asked my primary why he hadn’t told me I had esophageal erosion, he looked genuinely shocked and quickly called up the test results on his computer. He had never looked at them, but had just taken the “everything was fine” summary at face value.
