Grateful for both the miracles I have witnessed and for those I am unaware but, together, have brought me here, to this place and to this day.

@Mattizreal @hwinkler4real Many who call Christianity a far fetched fairy tale will also promote their own outlandish beliefs. It is easy to believe what you want to be true.

@joeroganhq Service providers also had the freedom to charge ridiculously high rates, which contributed to rapidly increasing costs of insurance.

@DNIGabbard Praying for your husband. Thank you for your service.

@ScottJenningsKY @silencedvoter Curious how this same panel expects Fetterman to do in his district.

@Melinda15858273 @TomBombad1lCS @overton_news @JDVance @VP @GovofCO I listened to the sentencing and agree with both the verdict and the need for accountability. However it’s a red flag for me any time the sentence is either extremely harsh or lenient compared to similar crimes.

[Lee Ann Chastain @RetiredRSISLMS]

@Melinda15858273 @TomBombad1lCS @overton_news @JDVance @VP @GovofCO The judge was Dem and the prosecutor was Rep. She was found guilty of going to elaborate and dishonest lengths to get a copy of voting data. She did not attempt to alter the results. The 9 year sentence was extreme compared to similar crimes as well many violent repeat offenders.

@FixingEducation If small class sizes were the norm there wouldn’t be a shortage.

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

The final bell rings.
The buses pull away.
The hallways go quiet.

And every educator feels it.

Because students do not just pass through our classrooms. They leave fingerprints on our hearts.

Long after the lessons, tests, and bulletin boards are gone, what remains are the human moments:
The hugs. The laughter. The breakthroughs. The handwritten notes. The students who changed us just as much as we changed them.

As a therapist and former school principal, I can tell you this is the part educators carry forever.

To every student:
You mattered more than you know.

To every educator packing up your classroom with tired eyes and a full heart:
Thank you for loving kids, believing in them, protecting them, and showing up for them day after day.

The final bell may end the school year, but your impact will last a lifetime.

@Chicago1Ray @GuntherEagleman That’s like blaming police officers for judges who let criminals go free. They are not overpaid. Don’t let the radical minority taint your views of the whole group.

Let’s pray for our world right now. Join me.

Father in heaven,

We come before You in this moment, not as people shaken by the noise of the world, but as citizens of a Kingdom that cannot be moved. You are enthroned above every nation, every ruler, every headline, and every decision made by human hands. Your Word declares that the heart of the king is in Your hand, and You turn it wherever You will.

So we ask You now, not in fear, but in faith:

Let Your Kingdom come. Let Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Even in the midst of flawed leadership, confusion, and unrest, we ask that Your purposes would not be hindered. Advance Your Kingdom through Your people. Let the gospel run swiftly. Let truth rise. Let righteousness stand. Let light break through every shadow.

Lord, remind us that You are not reacting to history, You are writing it.

Where men make decisions in pride, establish Your wisdom. Where there is injustice, bring Your justice. Where there is division, release Your peace. Where there is deception, let truth be revealed.

And in us, Your people, anchor our hearts.

Teach us to live with eternal vision. Your Word says our life is a vapor, here for a moment and gone. So fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. Let us live in a way that echoes into eternity, faithful, bold, unshaken.

Give us peace that surpasses understanding. Not peace because circumstances are stable, but peace because You are sovereign.

Remind us that Christ has already overcome the world. That the cross was not defeat, but victory. That the resurrection was not a possibility, but a declaration that Your purposes cannot fail.

So we stand today with confidence:

Your Kingdom will advance. Your purposes in Christ will prevail. Your glory will fill the earth.

Keep us faithful in the meantime. Watchful. Prayerful. Steady. Let us be found doing Your will when You return.

We trust You. We rest in You. We follow You.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our King,

Amen

This is the best summary I have found.

On March 17, the Senate began debate on the SAVE America Act, a Republican-backed voter identification and registration bill that passed the House last month. Here, we answer several questions about the legislation, many of them asked by our readers.

@alwaysjnov @TheChiefNerd She had me at (being) “dissatisfied with conventional healthcare system’s focus on symptom management rather than root causes- nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors. She has described the system as “exploitative” and shifted toward functional medicine…”

@FixingEducation Wouldn’t it be great if state departments asked teachers and students why they left public ed and then connected a few dots?

@elonmusk If you share that screenshot with Grok and ask if it agrees with each question, it does. So, are they all being manipulated in the same way? If so, how can AI develop and maintain objectivity?

[Lee Ann Chastain @RetiredRSISLMS]

@NancyMace I would rather pay income tax than property taxes. We shouldn’t have to pay property tax every year after paying sales tax at the point of sale. That keeps us forever in jeopardy.

[Lee Ann Chastain @RetiredRSISLMS]

@ChrisCuomo One of the few lines is disrupting a church service of worship. His videos indicate support for the protestors before, during and after. That’s not objective journalism.

[Lee Ann Chastain @RetiredRSISLMS]

@ModestTeacher @NancyMace No. It’s painful that our same modest incomes are taxed repeatedly in order to cover fraudulent expenditures as well as those most necessary.

@RozzieVox @mattvanswol @clairebubblepop Except when they do. Not all cities follow Federal regulation by verifying citizenship status.
