DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to rejoice in the good and the beautiful. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICAN HISTORY: On April 1, 1945, the Battle of Okinawa began. Lasting nearly three months, it was the last major battle of the war and the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific.

CATHOLIC: Just a reminder to my fellow mackerel snappers that the pope is only allowed to speak “infallibly” under very specific circumstances. When he said, on Palm Sunday in St. Peter’s Square – i.e.,(Jesus) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.” – not only failed to meet the criteria, but also went against defined doctrine!

Paragraph 2309 of The Catechism of the Catholic Church outlines the conditions under which a war can be considered morally justified. These include the necessity of a grave and lasting damage inflicted by an aggressor, the impracticality of peaceful resolutions, a reasonable chance of success, and ensuring that the use of force does not result in greater evils than those being addressed.

Leo is way out of line condemning all war when RCC doctrine itself does no such thing. And where exactly does he get off condemning the prayers of the faithful?

DEI: It doesn’t need to be said what the national media and shrieking Democrats would be making of this story if only it fit their narrative! But it doesn’t, so only local news outlets have covered it.

Diamond Wallace (31, racist black Trump hater) has been arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide after the dead body of Christine Jones (61, white Trump voter) was discovered on Sunday morning in a parking ramp on West Washington Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin.

According to the criminal complaint, Wallace had formerly worked with Jones at a hotel in downtown Madison where she had accused Jones of being racist for supporting President Donald Trump. Wallace is being held on $2 million bail.

DEMOCRATS: On Friday, March 27, 2026, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) hosted a “shadow hearing” entitled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Attack on Children.”

We need real accountability because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted. They need to be brought before us, and they need to be held account for the trauma that they have created, and we are going to have to have some form of reparation for the kids and the families that have been traumatized through all of this.”

IOW, she thinks American taxpayers need to pay reparations to illegal aliens who are upset that we want them to go home.

HEALTH CARE: @davec_NY responded, “Put ICE in every Hospital ER, and watch your health care cost drop.”

MINNESOTA: On Monday, the Justice Department filed a suit against the state and its school athletics governing body for violating Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls sports. “The Trump Administration does not tolerate flawed state policies that ignore biological reality and unfairly undermine girls on the playing field,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.

OH CANADA: Albertans who want to secede from socialist Canada and possibly become our 51st state have passed an important milestone.

SCOTUS: On March 31, the Supremes voted 8-1 to strike down Colorado’s ban on so-called conversion therapy for minors. The court’s majority opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, said the law conflicted with therapists’ right to free speech. The case, Chiles v. Salazar, was brought by therapist Kaley Chiles, who said Colorado’s law unconstitutionally infringed on her ability to help minors struggling with gender dysphoria and unwanted same-sex attraction.

STUPID PEOPLE: The Handmaid’s Tale costume is based on a dystopian novel in which America is run by Christian theocrats who force healthy, young women to bear their children. These so-called “handmaids” have to wear red cloaks with hoods that cover their faces.

The novel explores themes of powerless women in a patriarchal society, loss of female agency and individuality, suppression of reproductive rights, and the various means by which women resist and try to gain individuality and independence.

So, you know, totally like living in Trump’s America and not at all like living in the Ayatalloah’s Iran. Or something …
