DACA DEAL? // Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and House Minority Leader, D-CA, say they have a deal with President Donald Trump to “enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly” — that includes border security (but not a border wall). Breitbart calls him “Amnesty Don.” http://cvote.it/2fkfptz
SINGLE PAYER = MORE ABORTIONS // Senator Bernie Sanders unveiled his socialist health care plan. Abortion giant Planned Parenthood immediately applauded the bill which would overturn the Hyde amendment and force taxpayers to pay for abortions. http://cvote.it/2xlyXYr
ANTI-CATHOLIC ICONOCLASM // Leftist thugs behead a statue of Saint Junipero Serra and cover it with red paint. The statue of St. Serra, known as the Father of California, is located at the mission church he started in Santa Barbara. http://cvote.it/2xlHYQX
SATANISTS AND ABORTION // Members of the Church of Satan are suing to overturn restrictions on abortion, which they claim are restrictions on their “religious liberty.” Until the Satanists helped out, there was only one abortion facility in Missouri. Now there are two, and another two are on the way. It seems the alliance between Satan and the abortion industry is now formal? http://cvote.it/2xlxK3f
PATRIOTIC MEMORIAL VANDALIZED // Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem while captured on a British ship which was attacking Baltimore Harbor. Fittingly, there’s a monument in Baltimore in his honor. But the mindless iconoclasm raging through the country didn’t keep this statue safe; it was vandalized. http://cvote.it/2xlxW2D
MEDIA BIAS // The stock market took off like a rocket once Donald Trump won the election last November. And 2017 saw stocks climbing to all-time highs. But look at CNN’s headline: “Obama-Trump bull market is now up 268%.” Wow. You almost have to admire the audacity (to use a word Obama loved.) http://cvote.it/2xm6Wji
JUDGES, JUDGES, JUDGES // Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell indicates that it’s time for the Senate to end the blue slip veto that lets two Senators block a judicial nominee from their state indefinitely. http://cvote.it/2fkk2nz
GERMANY VS. POLAND // Germany instigated a legal case against Poland for refusing to take their ‘quota’ of refugees. Poland responded by demanding $1 trillion in reparations from Germany for their role in the destruction of their country during World War II. http://cvote.it/2fj8WPk
CATHOLIC NOMINEE UNDER FIRE? // Liberal reporters discovered that President Trump’s nominee for the Federal Election Commission, Trey Trainor, has tweeted several articles on Catholicism (which were critical of Protestantism). Will this become an issue during Senate hearings? http://cvote.it/2fjTRgH
CHRISTIAN CHARITY // Hurricane Irma is gone. Ave Maria — the town and the university — survived the storm and in some ways is stronger for it. http://cvote.it/2fklGFu
SAINT // Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross – http://cvote.it/dailysaint
DAILY MASS // “Do not forget the works of the Lord.” (Ps 78:7) – http://cvote.it/Daily-Readings
WOW // Scientists were able to reconstruct a face based on an ancient skull. Whether it belonged to St. Mary Magdalene remains a mystery. http://cvote.it/2xmfEhD
