Trump Administration Nearing Rescue Deal for Spirit Airlines - WSJ
“Spirit is a small airline. But there are those who love it. To those dedicated customers of Spirit, this one’s for you,” U.S. District Judge William Young, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
On behalf of a grateful nation, we thank Judge Young for his brilliant reasoning.
Instead of allowing JetBlue to purchase Spirit, now the American taxpayer gets to take on the risk of backstopping this truly awful company that spends more time working on its bankruptcy court filings and negotiating with its long list of creditors than it does flying.

April 20,2026Open to Discomfort - Catholic Husband
When we’re comfortable, we drift towards mediocrity. Unchallenged, we fall into a malaise in which there is little movement, small momentum, and no growth. The periods in our lives that we look back on with the greatest satisfaction are the times in which we pushed through the difficult things and came out the other side, shockingly, better.

Trump, the Pope and a New Holy War - WSJ
The American president and his advisers have made limited effort to justify their aggressive military actions, which also meet none of the traditional Catholic just war criteria.
This is a very long article, with uncharacteristically weak editing. The absolute assertion that military action against Iran meet “none” of the criteria is ridiculous on its face. Setting aside 40 years of terrorism on land and the high seas, this is a regime that two months ago murdered 30,000 people in cold blood for the high crime of challenging their political government.
The article got worse, and the argument weakened precipitously, and I reached the end feeling disrespected. Why would the Journal waste my time with such a poor work product?

Illinois residents, who helped underwrite some infrastructure costs, will get in free on Tuesdays and receive a $4 discount other days. They must show proof of residency, which conservatives say is hypocritical given Democratic opposition to voter ID requirement.

April 13,2026It takes more than one mistake, or one faulty brick, to collapse a building. It’s the grace of physics and of discipline. A single weak brick in a facade is a problem, but is also supported by the strong bricks all around it. Parenting is not a zero sum scenario, but it does require focus applied over time.

April 6,2026Countries are big places, and there are the selfless and the selfish, the serving and the self-serving. It shouldn’t offend of sensibilities to see in our government a mirror, although it might nudge us closer to virtue.
