AMERICAN HISTORY: On September 4, 1957, Democrat Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine black students from enrolling in Little Rock Central High School. On September 23, 1957, Republican President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730, federalizing the Arkansas National Guard and ordering them to support the integration. Eisenhower also ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock.
Democrats actually closed the schools altogether rather than comply, but by the end of September 1957, the Little Rock Nine were admitted to Little Rock Central High under the protection of federal troops. Two segregationists were injured in clashes with federal troops on September 25; one who was struck in the face with a buttstock after trying to grab a soldier’s rifle, and a second who received a minor bayonet wound to the arm.
Inside the school, the Little Rock Nine were subjected to a year of physical and verbal abuse by many of the white students. Melba Pattillo had acid thrown into her eyes; a group of white girls also trapped her in a stall in the girls’ washroom and attempted to burn her by dropping pieces of flaming paper on her from above.

BORDER: [13:20] – In August, federal immigration authorities arrested nearly 51,000 illegal immigrants throughout the United States, setting a new record high for a single month.
Since Trump took office, the number of illegals in the USA has dropped by about 3 million … which is about 20% of what Biden let in.

CATHOLIC: [5:06] – Most people have heard the myth – “Faith and science are enemies.” But science isn’t the Church’s enemy. It’s one of her children.
EDUCATION: Last year, the ACLJ filed a lawsuit on behalf of two New York families after seventh-grade students were directed to websites containing graphic sexual content as part of a graded classroom art lesson that lasted for two weeks.
Parents were never notified in advance, were given no opportunity to opt out, and learned about the material only after their children had already been exposed to it. Under Mahmoud v. Taylor, parents have a right to know what their children are being taught and what materials they are being required to view.
The mediator reports that the parties have reached a settlement. The websites at the center of this case have been blocked and a precedent will be set for parents who wish to opt their children out of content that is inappropriate or violates their religious beliefs.

MAGA: Don’t hold your breath waiting for the slime stream media to report on this.
MIDTERMS: Republicans have the edge in Likely Voters.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS: In the ’80s, I called the school nutritionist to ask them to move the Monday vegetarian lunch to Fridays, so my Catholic kids could have a hot meal. The man said no, because he’d get sued for “forcing religion” on public school kids. One year, on the last day of school before spring break, he had tried to make the lunch rooms more festive by covering the table with pale blue paper. One of the prickly Jewish lawyer dads threatened to sue him for allegedly forcing his son to celebrate Easter.
