And our lilac bush is in full bloom and very fragrant.

As an antidote to everything negative out there, the first strawberries of the season out of our garden. Very good and sweet.

Even NYT admitting that many universities have been curtailing the speech of those whose views are not favored. I’m not talking about the far right but anyone whose views don’t fit the progressive orthodoxy.

Kirk Cameron gave great speech tonight at ⁦Illinois Right to Life Action⁩

This is how I’ve felt about Biden and Ukraine since the beginning of that war. Give enough to keep the Ukrainians from losing but keep saying no to weapons that they need to win the war. Israel isn’t exactly the same, but this latest move seems to just prolong a bad situation

But they DO work in politics today, especially in House. MTG got to have a 10 minute fundraising pitch read on the House floor. AOC also helped her out by playing a very useful foil when she interrupted and requested UC to stop the reading (though AOC first made wrong motion)

Did you know: one of the charter members of the National Organization for Women (NOW) was Graciela Olivarez, a pioneering lawyer and civil servant who was the first woman to graduate from Notre Dame Law.

Perhaps surprisingly for some of us today, Olivarez was vocally pro-life.

Good to hear this from President Biden. I hope he - and others in his administration - will stick with it.

A picture tells a thousand words. Nothing like revealing how ignorant you are about an issue you claim to care so much about.

So this professor is taking innocent students hostages. Seriously?

If you don't want to be Weimar, you unapologetically enforce public order against both the Reds and the Browns.

Third Way's Matt Bennett (D): 'The most fundamental question in this election is which candidate is about order and which about chaos. Though Trump is the greatest chaos agent in the history of the presidency, these or other protests might help him win that argument.'

Nothing wrong with a journo noting that ppl interested in a pro-natalism conference tend to be eccentric or extreme. But the contextual Q should be, 'isn't it ... odd that only oddballs seem interested in the looming depopulation of the developed world?'

Congratulations to Dr, Elvira Parravicini on receiving the ⁦de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture⁩ Evangelium Vitae award.

That took, what, two seconds?

The implication of the word “help” is entirely wrong! The headline should be Bipartisan Rule Tees Up Ukraine Aid for a Vote.
