AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 31, 1918, the United States first observed daylight saving time, moving clocks ahead one hour. It was originally instituted as a wartime measure, but was later adopted permanently. Now in America, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Hawaii and Arizona don’t use daylight saving time.

CALIFORNICATION: Tensions escalated at LA’s “No Kings” rally on Saturday after some protesters threw rocks, bottles, concrete blocks, and other objects at federal agents and LAPD officers.

EDUCATION: On March 27, 7.5 million people who thought Biden was going to forgive their student loans learned that elections have consequences.

EU: [15:02] – On March 26, European Union lawmakers voted 389–206 to greatly take a hard-line approach toward illegal immigrants.

GROUP THERAPY: A New York psychotherapist named Jonathan Alpert has noted that most of the participants in the pointless “No Kings” rallies are white, middle-aged women. who he believes are likely suffering mental health disorders. Alpert theorizes that the protests are a form of group therapy where these unhappy, like-minded individuals can boost their dopamine levels by venting together.

HEALTH: Researchers report that a newly published study of 2,100 Swedes aged 60 and over showed that the ones who ate the most meat had the lowest risk of developing dementia. They also found that real meat worked better than processed meat, so more steak, less bacon.

NEW JERKSEY: You know how illegal alien criminals can commit crimes in NYC and Chicago, because it is illegal for cops to tell ICE? New Jersey just made that a policy for the entire state. Gov. Mikie Sherrill just signed a package of immigration bills into law, restricting state agencies, local governments, public colleges, and healthcare facilities from participating in federal immigration operations, complying with immigration detainers, providing access to detainees for federal interviews, or sharing databases, facilities, or personnel for immigration enforcement purposes.

OH CANADA: Miriam Lancaster reports that while she was still in the emergency department at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH), a young doctor came in and said, “Miriam, I understand you’re in a lot of pain. We can offer you MAID.” (MAID stands for Medical Assistance In Dying, a “solution” to health care problems in nations like Canada where health care is “free.”)

Lancaster is a devout Catholic. She gave the doctor a firm no and only the n were other treatment options raised. She was told rehab would be “a long road, and it will be very difficult”, which I guess is code for “you’re old, you’re useless and expensive, so wouldn’t dying be better for everyone?” She still said no.

Since recovering, she has walked her daughter down the aisle and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Grant that every broken and needy person experience Your help, Your grace, and Your salvation. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

STUPID PEOPLE: CLICK https://x.com/TheDamaniFelder/status/2037897387474026955 [:42] to hear a Liberal White Woman explain why she is participating in a “No Kings” protest. Their outrage sickens me. They didn’t care at all about Obama’s “pen and phone” or multiple wars. They wept crocodile tears for our troops who died in Bush’s “stupid war”, then sneered at those who died because of Biden’s incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.

TOLERANCE: CLICK https://x.com/bonchieredstate/status/2037875557883355155 [:14] to hear some guy tell a group of black LEOs they are “foot soldiers of a fascist regime” and watch them laugh at him. @OrneryThe8th commented, “Pretty sure he wouldn’t be shaking his tiny fists at them like that if he actually believed they were fascist foot soldiers.” Touché.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: [2:58] – Volume 21.

GRAMMY NOTES: My niece recently sent me a copy of my brother’s 1967 Silver Star citation for “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity” during the Vietnam War. Please pray for him as he deals with the recent and sudden loss of his beloved wife, as well as with leukemia, which resulted from his exposure to Agent Orange all those years ago.
