“Fasting is directed to two things, the deletion of sin, and the raising of the mind to heavenly things.”

— Saint Thomas Aquinas.

More anti-American fallout from the attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran. Actress Jane Fonda led a rally condemning the United States in Los Angeles. Of course, she did. Jane Fonda cheered for the North Vietnamese.

“The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons . The leadership of Iran must go.  But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people.  President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.”

–Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.).

A predictable lame response from Governor Hair Gel.  And notice, he does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons, he wants the Iranian regime toppled, BUT . . . Gavin Newsom does not want to do anything to bring about those results.  Because that is the Democrat mantra against solving problems, particularly by President Trump; just say NO!

“Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.”

–Commiela.

Presidents Obama and China Joe propped up the Ayatollahs.  And now you know beyond all doubt that if she had been elected President, so would have Commiela.

Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s architect of the failed Iranian nuclear deal, criticized President Trump’s actions against Iran. Of all people, he should just shut up.

MS NOW hosts and Senator Mark Warner (D. Va.) all asked, “Why now?” Because U.S. intelligence concluded that Iran was preparing preemptive military strikes against Israel, our Arab allies, and U.S. military assets. That is “why now”.

The United Nations Secretary General condemned Israel and the United States for attacking Iran. Who cares?

In response, United States United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz made the following statement:

“The most fundamental duty of any sovereign government is the protection of its people. Operation Epic Fury is directed toward specific and strategic objectives: to dismantle missile capabilities that threaten allies, to degrade naval assets used to destabilize international waters, to disrupt the machinery that arms proxy militias, and to ensure the Iranian regime never, ever can threaten the world with a nuclear weapon. 

As President Trump said last night, for decades the Iranian regime has woefully destabilized the world, it has killed American forces and citizens, threatened regional allies, and jeopardized the security of international shipping upon which the world depends.

It’s massive support for violent proxies, declared terrorist organizations – the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and others – has brought bloodshed and disorder across the Middle East for far too long. This is not speculation; we know this to be true, and our men and women have paid for the actions of this regime and the IRGC with their lives.

No responsible nation can ignore persistent aggression and violence. The regime in Tehran has led attacks that have cost American lives. Hundreds of U.S. Marines in Lebanon, thousands of troops in Iraq, American hostage after hostage has suffered. Our ships fired upon dozens of times in the Red Sea.

Iran has armed and financed militant organizations that undermine lawful governments and destabilizes an already-fragile region. Iran’s continued pursuit of advanced missile capabilities, coupled with its refusal to abandon nuclear ambitions – despite diplomatic opportunities – presents a grave and mounting danger.

The international community has long-affirmed a simple and necessary principle: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That principle is not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of global security. And, to that end, the United States is taking lawful actions.”

The federal government remains partially shut down. Coast Guard, TSA, and FEMA employees are all working without pay. Because . . . Democrats. Because Democrats love illegal aliens more than they love American citizens.

Mortgage rates are the lowest since 2022. WINNING!

China Joe’s FBI subpoenaed the telephone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023. Worse, they recorded these telephone conversations, including telephone conversations covered by attorney-client privilege. This was all done at the direction of Special Counsel Jack Smith. Why? Because Orange Man bad. Jack Smith and the Democrats were willing to stretch the law to the point of breaking it, doing anything in order to “get” Donald Trump.

The abuses by the China Joe Department of Justice should frighten us all. Because those abuses will return if there is ever another Democrat president.

“There’s thinly veiled racist language, anti-immigrant language in what he was asking, and that was uncomfortable.”

–Representative Janelle Bynum (D. Or.), condemning President Trump’s call for favoring American citizens over illegal aliens.

Yes, yes, yes. Let’s just turn over the United States to the entire Third World.

“I’m sorry.  I didn’t ask your opinion on that, and if I cared about your opinion I would ask you.  But I don’t care about your opinion.  You’re part of the system.  You’re part of the problem.  You’ve been sitting here longer than I’ve even been alive.  This is your problem.  You should have fixed this a long time ago.  You’ve been railing on it for so long.  What have you been doing?” 

–Senator Markwayne Mullins (R. Ok.), addressing a rude Senator Bernie Sanders (I. Vt.), who interrupted him during the questioning of a committee hearing witness.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. rejected The National Trust’s bid to stop the construction of The White House ballroom. WINNING!

Federal district court judge Brian Murphy enjoined the Trump Administration from deporting illegal aliens to 3rd party countries. In a 6-3 decision, the United States Supreme Court overturned Judge Murphy’s decision. Judge Murphy then ignored the Supreme Court’s decision, which brought a 7-2 Supreme Court decision directing Judge Murphy to comply with its orders. And now Judge Murphy has again enjoined the Trump Administration’s deportation policy, in further defiance of the Supreme Court. It shall surprise no one that Judge Murphy was appointed by China Joe.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overruled a lower court, and cleared the way for President Trump to strip thousands of government employees of their collective bargaining rights. Union membership should never be an option for public employees. WINNING!

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit cleared the way for Texas to enforce a State law prohibiting drag shows in public or where children are or may be present. MORE WINNING!

“I watched President Donald Trump’s entire 2026 State of the Union speech.  And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections.

This was the first time I wasn’t bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say.  I appreciate his businessman’s approach to the economy and tariffs.  I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and celebrated the economy wins by putting America first. 

* * * *

Government needs to actually represent the people, not politicians’ self interests and agenda.  I am actually a registered Democrat, and I was ashamed of how congressional Democrats were acting at the State of the Union ‒ not giving Trump the common courtesy and respect the office of the president deserves.”

–Joni Werner, a Texas resident, writing in USA TODAY (February 27, 2026).

In San Francisco, California, a rally for higher taxes on the “rich” quickly devolved into an anti-Semitic demonstration, with participants yelling “tax the Jews”. My goodness!

Rene Campos is running for Fresno City Council as a Democrat. Mr. Campos is a registered sex offender.

For the very 1st time in 110 years, Carmel, California will have street addresses. Every single building–homes, restaurants, shops, and government buildings–will have numbers assigned to them. Town officials stress that public safety mandates the change. Maybe. Still, a quaint old custom will now bite the dust. And that is a shame.

In Newark, New Jersey, an illegal alien fleeing ICE agents, crashed into a car, injuring 3 children, and causing them to require hospitalization. Naturally, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D.) blamed ICE for the children’s injuries.

In Tampon Tim’s Minnesota, autism related government spending increased 34,000%, over a roughly 9 year period, from $1 million to $343 million. You’ll never convince me that this is legitimate spending. And you’ll never convince me that Tampon Tim is not involved in this seeming fraud.

Minnesota lawmakers are also not convinced. Articles of impeachment against Tampon Tim (D.) and Attorney General Keith Ellison (D.) have been filed. THROW THE BUMS OUT!

Retired Air Force Major Gerald Brown, Jr. traveled to Red China over a period of years for the purpose of training Chinese fighter pilots. He was arrested at his Indiana home. He should be cashiered, stripped of all rank and retirement, dishonorably discharged, and given accommodations at Fort Leavenworth for the rest of his life. At a minimum.

In Boise, Idaho, Sarah George stole an ambulance from a local hospital, filled it with cans of gasoline, and rammed the ambulance into an office building leased by ICE. Her intent was to set the building on fire, but that failed. She is now in custody, and in big trouble.

Burger King is upgrading its Whopper sandwich. The upgrade includes a better bun, premium mayonnaise, and box, instead of paper, packaging.

Congratulations to Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix. Southern Living magazine named it the best box brownie mix in the nation. Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix finished a distant second.

Barbetta, Manhattan’s oldest Italian restaurant at 120 years old, served its last meals last Friday. Very sad.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un threatened the nuclear annihilation of South Korea. Another day that ends in “y”.

Pakistan has declared war on Afghanistan and the Taliban. Missile strikes launched, and there does not appear to be any hope of either side standing down.

Great Britain’s government is now doing what Napoleon and Hitler never managed: carrying out a successful invasion of the British Isles.  The number of people granted asylum by the Home Office jumped by more than a third last year.

This is precisely the kind of self-destructive policies that Democrats want to implement here.  This is precisely what the China Joe administration, whoever was actually pulling befuddled old Joe’s strings, was doing.  If Kamala Harris had somehow won the 2024 election, she would be pouring aviation-grade gasoline on that fire, right now.

This is what Democrats want.  This is what the Left wants.  This is why they are fighting deportation efforts at every turn.  This is why they argue bitterly against deporting even hardened criminals.  This is why their useful idiots interfere with DHS, Border Patrol, and ICE agents who are trying to do their jobs.  This is why Democrat politicians refuse to countenance even the mildest immigration enforcement or election security measures.  Look at Britain, because that’s what the Left wants here.

This isn’t about compassion.  It’s about fomenting an invasion.

Sacramento State University is moving up to NCAA Division I (FBS) in football. It is joining the Mid-American Conference. Which means that this California school is joining an athletic conference whose member schools are located in the Midwest, New York, and Massachusetts. The closest school is just under 2,000 miles away.

The affiliation of a California school with a Midwest athletic conference is strange enough (are you paying attention USC and UCLA?), but this move gets stranger. Sacramento State is paying at least $23 million just for the privilege of joining the conference. Sacramento State also will not share in any conference revenues. Sacramento State will pay visiting teams their travel expenses. Games are always played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. And in 5 years, the Mid-American Conference can drop Sacramento State’s membership without penalty.

Sacramento State is a public school with funding issues. Its president insists that moving up to Division I (FBS) is a necessary growth move. Wow. They really want to this badly. The question is, will it turn out badly? Most likely, so.

Major League Baseball pitcher Merrill Kelly chose to sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks, despite the San Diego Padres making him a far more lucrative offer. Why? Mr. Kelly admitted that California’s insanely high tax laws caused him to decide to sign with Arizona.

NFL’s Atlanta Falcons fired coach LaTroy Lewis as an assistant defensive line coach. It seems that Coach Lewis has been credibly accused of sexual and physical violence while an assistant coach at the University of Michigan. What goes on at Michigan?

Former Washington Post columnist and all ’round Lefty, Colman McCarthy, has died at age 87. R. I. P.

Musician and songwriter Neil Sedaka has died at age 86. R. I. P.
