BORDER: [11:32] – Trump has sent hundreds of vicious gang members to El Salvador’s terrorism prison. A leftie judge tried to order the plane to turn around; Trump said no, cuz the plane was over international air space.

FBI: Dan Bongino was sworn in today as Deputy Director under Kash Patel.

JOE BUILT THAT: A CNN/SSRS poll conducted from March 6 to 9 showed the Democratic Party’s approval rating at a rock bottom 29%, down a staggering 20 points since January 2021. Another recent poll by NBC News found that only 7% of Americans have a “very positive” view of Democrats. That is the same percentage of Americans who believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Elon Musk has said that the Biden administration rejected his offer to help bring the team home, because Biden didn’t want Musk, who was close to the Trump campaign, to look good so close to the presidential election.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, St. James warned us, “No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” (James 3:8) We beg you today for the graces we need to speak only those words that please You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

DOGE: [11:32] – Million$ intended to help small businesses survive COVID actually went to fake businesses allegedly owned by children and dead people.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order directing eight agencies to shut down all non-legally required functions, cut staff, and reduce statutory roles to the bare minimum required by law. They include the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, United States Agency for Global Media, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Institute of Museum and Library Services, United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, the Minority Business Development Agency, and the Arctic Research Commission.

EDS: Nick Arama at Red States writes, “Democrats are deep in the middle of pushing a cult-like “Elon Derangement Syndrome” over DOGE chief Elon Musk. It’s that Saul Alinsky tactic. They did it for ten years against President Donald Trump and still ultimately failed with the majority of Americans electing Trump anyway. Now they’re trying it with Elon and it’s similarly destined to fail.”

ISIS: On Thursday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces – together with Iraqi Intelligence and Security Forces – “conducted a precision airstrike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, that killed the Global ISIS #2 leader, Chief of Global Operations and the Delegated Committee Emir – Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, alias ‘Abu Khadijah’, and one other ISIS operative.”

LIFE: On March 13, every single Democrat in the Minnesota House voted to kill a bill requiring infants who survive abortions be fully recognized as human persons who are entitled to receive reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice. The bill was defeated 67-66.

Their 67 votes also defeated a bill would have helped fund crisis pregnancy resource centers, which provide free resources to mothers and their babies.

TDS: Minnesota Senate Republicans have proposed a bill that would change the definition of mental illness and add “a definition” for Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

“‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump’s behavior.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the graces we need to not only ask You to fix our problems, but also to follow Your instructions. In Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen.

BIDEN’S AUTOPEN: A government watchdog has found that the pardons six of Biden’s cronies received on December 30, 2022 were signed via auto pen. All are labeled “Signed in the City of Washington,” while Biden was vacationing in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Around the same time, an omnibus spending bill was flown to Biden in the Virgin Islands to sign, while other prominent documents, including Hunter Biden’s pardon and Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race, appear to be hand signed. The authority to issue unconditional pardons rests solely with the President of the United States.

DEM LOGOS: They went from a red, white, and blue donkey with 4 stars to an elevator down button to an all white (racism??) donkey with 3 stars. It’s almost like they’re working for the GOP or something.

HYPOCRISY: Developers in Brazil are cutting down protected tracts of the Amazon rain forest to create a four-lane highway for the climate warriors who will be flocking to the COP30 climate summit in Belém from November 10 to 21, 2025.

A British jury has convicted United Nations Judge Lydia Mugambe of luring a Ugandan woman with the promise of a job, only to confiscate her passport and visa and keep her trapped working as the judge’s unpaid maid and nanny.

WASHINGTON: A trannie who goes by “Jessica Ann Roberts” (born Neil Vincent Roberts) was unanimously appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Lynnwood City Council. Roberts is an OnlyFans adult content creator with a history as a sex worker; s/he has posted on social media about having an uncontrollable desire to impregnate women and eat them. The Democratic-run council selected Roberts over Army combat veteran and Amazon program manager, Robert Leutwyler, to fill the vacancy.

WISCONSIN: The Wisconsin legislature has been hearing arguments for and against AB 102, which would mandate all University of Wisconsin institutions and technical colleges to designate their intercollegiate or their club athletic teams based on the biological sex of the participants.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Trump is following through on his threat to defund states that refuse to keep men out of women’s sports, starting with the University of Maine System (UMS), a network of eight public colleges in the state whose grumpy governor told Trump “I’ll see you in court.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray today in a special way for all of Your holy priests. Grant them the graces they need to walk with you every hour of every day. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BLM PLAZA: Good riddance. [2 :05] – Following threats to their federal funding, the libs running DC decided they could live without their divisive tribute to Marxist grifters.

CANADA: After Ontario suspended its 25% tariff on energy exports to us, Trump suspended his 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel. The Art of the Deal, baby.

DEMOCRATS: Delusional, potty-mouthed losers. [11:59] – “There’s something wrong with them.” – POTUS

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: This Carter boondoggle is laying off half its work force and closing offices in New York, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, and San Francisco. These reductions will not affect any of the department’s services, including college financial aid loan and grants functions, Title 1 funding for low-income students, special education funding, and civil rights functions. Trump’s Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, says she is committed to achieving President Trump’s goal of eliminating the department entirely and returning control of education to local authorities and parents.

EGG$: Prices began to come down after Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins unveiled a $1 billion strategy to fight avian flu and reduce egg prices. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “It will take about three to six months to get the egg supply back where it should be.” Rollins warned prices could rise temporarily due to high demand during the Easter season.

FOLLOW THE MONEY, HONEY: In the final months of Biden’s term in office, a “vaccine company” headed up by two former Biden staffers got $28 million in federal funding from the National Institutes of Health’s Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). The alleged “Vaccine Company, Inc.” has no physical office space, no lab, no manufacturing facility. The good news is that only $2 million of the grant has been spent by the grifters so far. Taxpayers may be able to claw back a good chunk of the money. One would hope to see some handcuffs and prosecutions as well.

TDS: I just saw a great line in Not the Bee that expresses thoughts I have often about which of the numerous stories of liberal absurdity cross “that fine line between confronting dangerous ignorance” and which should be “better left to wither and die in lonely obscurity”? Case in point … Rosie O’Donnell has self-deported herself and her 12-year-old child to Ireland to escape Trump’s America. She says she misses her friends and family, but will not consider coming back until “it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.”

TRANS SANITY: In recent months, teachers in Virginia, Ohio, and Wisconsin who were fired for refusing to use trans names/pronouns have won their court cases. The courts found the schools were violating religious freedoms and/or compelling speech, both of which are unconstitutional.

GRAMMY NOTES: Our dentist and her husband grew up in the U.S.S.R. She cried when Biden won.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to truly be the soul of this great nation. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CANADA: It seems we’re in a tariff war with our neighbors to the north. Trump imposed a plan to make all tariffs obey the Golden Rule. Ontario said, “Fine then!” and jacked up its tariff on the electricity. Trump responded by declaring a national emergency in the area affected and increased the U.S. tariff on steel and aluminum coming from Canada to 50%.

SELF-DEPORTATION: [2:51] – As soon as he got into office, President Trump shut down the CBP One App which was used by the Biden Administration to allow people to apply for refugee status online. Rather than just eliminate it, Trump has repurposed it into CBP Home App, which allows illegals to apply for deportations online. The advantage of registering on CBP Home is that they will be eligible to return legally at some future date.

USAID: Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the purge is complete with 5,200 of the former agency’s 6,200 programs eliminated. The remaining 18% that were worth keeping will now be administered by the State Department.

VA: [6:10] – The Dems are LYING. Trump’s goal is to cut bureaucracy, waste, and fraud so that more $$ goes to actual veterans.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1899086662023426438 [:31] to hear the perp (who got her team eliminated for unsportsmanlike behavior) weep about her feelings and how it was all “a accident.” Yeah, cuz hitting someone on the head twice hard enough to cause a concussion is just what happens when you maybe trip a little bit and lose your balance, y’all.

DEI: The U.S. Department of Education (DoE) has launched a public portal where people can submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools. The DoE will use submissions to identify areas for investigation.

EDUCATION: Because Columbia University has done nothing to squelch anti-Semitism on its campus, Trump has canceled grants worth roughly $400 million. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said, “Universities must comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus. Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer.”

EXORCIST: [5:03] – I was attacked to paralysis one night and was unsuccessful in stopping it with my own prayers. I thought of “where two or more” and mentally asked God to alert one of his faithful ones to pray with me for deliverance. Then, the attack stopped quickly. Some weeks later, a fellow at my church asked if I had ever asked for prayer in the middle of the night. I said yes. He said, “I am a night watchman. I felt that call and answered.”

PODESTA: On Wednesday, the New York Post published an exclusive story outing corruption by John Podesta. It seems this Democrat who served as senior advisor to the last three Democrat presidents was put in charge of a $375 billion in taxpayer funds which he doled out to Democrat cronies in the name of “charity.” Big problem … the billions went to charities that don’t exist.

S&G: The latest sign that Dems are doubling down on their hard-left, anti-God agenda comes in the form of video clips from a Bernie Sanders rally in Kenosha, WI, when Sanders specifically thanked trans singer “Laura Jane Grace” for his/her performance of a degenerate, disgusting, anti-Christian song about how God raped him/her.

The X links aren’t currently working and I’m not sure you want to watch this anyway. Reading the lyrics was enough to nauseate me.

DAILY PRAYER: Lorelai is a relative of a relative. I’ll keep you posted as much as possible about her progress.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: It’s too often true that the name Democrats give their bills tell us the opposite of what its provisions do if they are made into law. According to a new report by CBS News, “Health care is so expensive that 31 million U.S. adults, or 12%, had to borrow a total of $74 billion last year to obtain medical care, new data shows. That includes people with health insurance, making such numbers even more troubling.”

AIR: There are reasons why air crews should not be DEI’d by gender. Pilots should be predominantly male, because they are better at spatial awareness and single-mindedness; flight attendants should be predominantly female, because we are better at nurturing and multi-tasking.

AL GREEN: The House voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress by yelling and angrily shaking his cane. Security guards had to forcibly remove Green and 10 Democrats rightfully joined Republicans in the vote to censure.

But then the corrupt Democrats decided to sing “We Shall Overcome” to show their support for Green’s bad behavior. That song is about overcoming violence via peaceful protest. The second verse says, “We’ll walk hand in hand.” The third verse says, “We will live in peace.”

Breitbart says 80% of speech viewers polled also disapproved of his behavior. The Dems’ own John Fetterman (PA) called his colleagues put on “a sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance” that only made “Trump look more presidential and restrained.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Bless us all with the graces we need to fully repent of our sins and gratefully receive Your forgiveness for them! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

HITLER: The Babylon Bee reports that the Nazi regime was overthrown after the opposition party held up tiny signs saying “False” and “Hitler steals” on them during the Führer’s speech in the Reichstag.

TRUMP’s SPEECH: The poll showed 51% of viewers were Republicans, 27% were independents, and 20% were Democrats, leaving 2% unstated. Of these viewers, 76% approved of the speech, while 23% disapproved, leaving 1% don’t knows.

WYOMING: Governor Mark Gorden (R) has signed a new law requiring that surgical abortions may be performed outside a hospital only if the facility is licensed as an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). Wyoming’s sole remaining abortuary has stopped performing surgical abortions.

One wonders why those who claim to care so much about women’s health care have not been demanding all along that abortion clinics meet the same health and safety standards as a podiatry clinic.
