Dear Friends,
Here are a few articles for your consideration.
Thanks.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:8-10)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 4, Paragrah 2, section B
If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
- Senate funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan supported by Senator Cornyn, Opposed by Senator Cruz We are told that this bill is dead on arrival at the House. It actually makes it easier for illegal aliens to enter the country. We do not need additional funding; we just need to enforce the law to protect our border. Many states have sent National Guard, so the task is simplified. Stop feeding them and caring for them and they will quit coming. Biden just needs to enforce the law. It is shameful to leave the border open and even oppose Texas’ efforts to close the border. We need to stop selling wall materials, buy back what we can, and complete the contracts issued earlier to build the wall.
- Justice Thomas asked for an example of President charged under the Fourteenth Amendment No examples were given simply because there are none.
- Fifty Dollar Minimum Wage: Just do the Math: 47 Minutes: California If it is that easy why stop at 50? Why not make it $100?

My Turn: Firmly Against Barbarism
Over the last four months the State of Israel has once again been fighting a war for its survival. No civilized person was untouched by the barbaric attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023. With that in mind, as a precinct committeemen in the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, I wrote the resolution below for submission to the committee this month. For a committee that exhibits true Republican values and principles, public policy should never be far away and should always be loudly proclaimed. To that end, I drafted the attached resolution and also submitted it to this newspaper for the purpose of encouraging other organizations in Kootenai County to join the KCRCC in standing firm in our commitment and support of Israel. Any other organization may use its wording, but I hope ALL of Kootenai County joins me in lighting a candle in the anti-Israel terrorist darkness that is now swirling fiendishly in the Middle East.

- Polar Bears Losing Weight The authors say this is because of climate change. However, there have been polar bears for thousands of years, and the bears wait patiently at the shore in the spring for the ice to break up. Plus the fact that polar bears can hunt seals in open sea means I would really like to see their data. I wonder what Susan Crockford thinks of this article.
Here is Susan’s Answer
A lot would depend on when the bear was weighed, as their weight differs a lot over the year.
