ANTI-SLAVERY TARIFFS: President Trump is slapping up to 12.5% tariffs on goods from 60 U.S. trading partners who have failed to crack down on forced labor.
BORDER: The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) was signed into law by Democrat President Bill Clinton on September 30, 1996. It became effective on April 1, 1997 and is still the law of the land.
The IIRAIRA created stricter border enforcement, increased penalties for document fraud, and expanded grounds for deportation. It made it a criminal offense for an alien to vote in a federal election and introduced reentry bans for undocumented immigrants who overstay visas or violate conditions.
CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1625882612576701 [1:51] to hear what Josh Pray learned about the Sign of the Cross, which by the way, is considered a prayer in and of itself.
I posted in the comments, asking him to do the the cross on forehead, lips and heart Catholics do before the priest reads the Gospel at Mass. The prayer that goes with that is “May the Word of the Lord be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.”
I adapted it to a personal morning prayer. I pour some holy water into my left palm and dip my thumb in, do my forehead, lips and heart, then do each ear (“in my ears“), then rub my hands together to spread the water around and end with, “and in all that I do. Amen.“
DEMOCRATS: TDS.
EDUCATION: @mattvanswol commented, “Uhhhhh, this seems kind of insane to me. When I was in school, a B+ was a 92 and an A- was a 93-95.”
I am a 1976 graduate of then-SUNY-Binghamton (now Binghamton University). I had a prof say he wanted to give me an A-, because I had earned it. But the school had eliminated minuses for being too negative, so he gave me a B+.
