AMERICA 250: On June 18, 1855, the first ship passed through the Soo Locks, located on the St. Mary’s River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Today there are four locks, and an average of 10,000 ships pass through them each year.

ELON MUSK: Sen. Chuck Schumer recently accused Elon Musk of “Stealing bread from American tables!” Elon responded, “I provide tens of thousands of jobs and did a full audit of the United States government… for free. I think Senator Schumer should worry more about his own fraud and abuse of power.” I genuinely feel sorry for what Schumer will have to face at Judgment. He’s told so many lies and hurt so many people.

VIRGINIA: Gov. Spanberger has signed a bill into law which adds Virginia to the National Popular Vote Compact, an interstate agreement between states to award the entirety of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.

Two points are worth noting. One, Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution forbids states from entering into contracts with each other without Congressional approval. Two, in 2024, Harris won the state’s popular and electoral votes, while Trump won the national popular vote.

FBI: The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team. A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate.

NORTH CAROLINA: After Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte got permission from the front office to paint the school’s spirit rock, a tradition kids have used for years.

Within hours, the school had painted over her message. Then the principal emailed the entire school that the girl, Gabby Stout, was a vandal who had broken the code of conduct and was being reported to local law enforcement. The administration also pulled Gabby out of class again and again, confiscated her phone and made her write a confession.

Her family sued and has just won. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has been court ordered to pay the family $95,000, publicly clear Gabby’s name, and admit in writing she did nothing wrong.

TOLERANCE: Her family wrote, “She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humor, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her.”

This story has me wondering how many souls choose an eternity in Hell over accepting that God loves Donald Trump too.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Peter Heck’s op-ed “One of the world’s biggest podcasters just came face-to-face with the peace that’s only found in Jesus” is worth your time. It’s a good reminder that we are often the only gospel people will encounter.

“Long before anyone asks what we believe about God, they observe how we respond to disappointment. They notice how we handle success. They watch how we treat people who disagree with us. They see whether anxiety governs our lives or whether there is a deeper stability beneath the surface. In other words, they encounter the fruit before they encounter the explanation.”

CATHOLIC: The archdiocese of Washington has fired Monsignor Rossetti from his post as exorcist and is cutting ties with the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal.

The archbishop said Rossetti’s statements “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”

I have no idea what they mean by this. The Catholic Church does not have an official doctrinal or dogmatic position on the existence of extraterrestrial life.

This feels like a replay of back when Father Frank Pavone was defrocked for refusing to give up his anti-abortion ministry. 😦

AMERICAN HISTORY: On June 3, 1943, an Irish weather observer named Maureen Flavin carried out what she thought was just another routine task. It was her 21^st birthday. Stationed at a remote post in Blacksod Bay, she recorded her hourly barometer reading and passed it along to Dublin, unaware that her small data point was about to ripple far beyond the Irish coast. The pressure drop she noted was subtle but unmistakable, an early warning of a powerful Atlantic storm forming to the west.

That reading quickly moved up the chain, eventually landing on the desks of Allied meteorologists who were desperately trying to forecast conditions for the largest amphibious invasion in history. Their models were uncertain, their data incomplete, and the stakes almost unimaginable. Flavin’s report provided the missing confirmation: a violent storm was on its way, one that would have turned the English Channel into a death trap for thousands of soldiers. When the information reached General Dwight D. Eisenhower, it forced a decision that would define the course of the war.

On June 4, 1944, Eisenhower postponed the invasion, an extraordinary gamble that hinged on a single window of improved weather predicted to follow the storm. That window arrived, and on June 6, D-Day began. The success of the landings has been attributed to strategy, bravery, and logistics, but it also rested on the quiet precision of an Irish woman who never imagined her routine reading would help shape history. Maureen Flavin’s small act of diligence became one of the most consequential weather observations ever recorded.

ISLAM: “There’s a simple way for any country led by rational rulers to ban Islam. All you have to do is to ensure that the definition of ‘religion’ has the explicit requirement that in order to qualify as a religion (with all the perks that this confers), the religion cannot, in any way, punish apostasy. That’s all you need. If a potential ‘religion’ explicitly punishes people for leaving it, then it automatically qualifies as a ‘cult,’ not a religion, and loses all of the protections afforded to real religions. So unless Islam changes its holy texts to freely allow people to leave Islam without penalty or consequences, it cannot be qualified as a ‘religion.'”
