The March for Life concluded on Friday, and on Sunday, federal agents took a life in Minneapolis. Had Minnesota cooperated with immigration officials, Mr. Pretti would still be alive. Had Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino chosen a less in-your-face way of operating, Mr. Pretti would still be alive. Had Noem and Bovino listened to Tom Homan, Michael Banks, the head of the border patrol, and Todd Lyons, the head of ICE, instead of marginalizing and bypassing them, this would not have happened. Homan, Banks, and Lyons have internally opposed the mass, very public roundups that Noem and Bovino have decided to do for the very reason that the public could get whipped up and bad things could happen.

"You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know and you are the guy who'll decide where to go. You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to got there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to do down any not so good street."  The late Dr. Frank Pollard used this Dr. Seuss story to illustrate how we are what we consume.  In other words, garbage in, garbage out.   Using 1 Peter 1 13-21,  Dr. Pollard  preached how we must guard our minds.  If you can't get to church because of the weather, enjoy the 1998 sermon posted below.

Correction: JJ erroneously reported Judge Hannan is retiring when in fact he qualified to run for re-election. Apologies.
