WASHINGTON —
President Joe Biden told
The Associated Press
on Thursday that the
American people are
“really, really down” after
a tumultuous two years
with the coronavirus
pandemic, volatility in
the economy and now
surging gasoline prices
that are slamming family
budgets.
He said a recession is
not inevitable and bristled at claims by Republican lawmakers that
last year’s COVID-19 aid
plan was fully to blame
for inﬂation reaching a
40-year high, calling that
argument “bizarre.”
As for the overall
American mindset, Biden
said, “People are really,
really down.”
“They’re really down,”
he said. “The need for
mental health in America, it has skyrocketed,
because people have seen
everything upset. Everything they’ve counted on
upset. But most of it’s the
consequence of what’s
happened, what happened as a consequence
of the COVID crisis.”
Speaking to the AP
in a 30-minute Oval
Ofﬁce interview, Biden
addressed the warnings
by economists that the
United States could be
headed for a recession.
“First of all, it’s not
inevitable,” he said. “Secondly, we’re in a stronger
position than any nation
in the world to overcome
this inﬂation.”
As for the causes of
inﬂation, Biden ﬂashed
some defensiveness on
that count. “If it’s my
fault, why is it the case in
every other major industrial country in the world
that inﬂation is higher?
You ask yourself that? I’m
not being a wise guy,” he
said.
The president said he
saw reason for optimism
with the 3.6% unemployment rate and America’s
relative strength in the
world.
“Be conﬁdent, because
I am conﬁdent we’re better positioned than any
country in the world to

A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain
It’s made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away...
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking.
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking...
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems...
It is far beyond defining
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation...
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

In 2020, prosecutors in
Atlanta brought murder
charges against white
police ofﬁcer Garrett
Rolfe in the fatal shooting
of a Black man, Rayshard
Brooks, following a
struggle; a second ofﬁcer, Devin Brosnan, was
charged with aggravated
assault and violating his
oath. (Both ofﬁcers are
awaiting trial.) Quaker
Oats announced that it
would retire the Aunt

were “based on a racial

Rodney King, 47,
whose 1991 videotaped
beating by Los Angeles
police sparked widespread outrage and who
struggled with addiction
and repeated arrests, died
in Rialto, California, in
an apparent accidental
drowning. Webb Simpson
won the U.S. Open, outlasting former U.S. Open
champions Jim Furyk and
Graeme McDowell.
Five years ago:
The jury in Bill Cosby’s
sexual assault case
declared itself hopelessly
deadlocked, resulting in
a mistrial for the 79-yearold TV star charged with
drugging and groping
a woman more than a
decade earlier; prosecutors immediately
announced they would
pursue a second trial.
(That trial resulted in
Cosby’s conviction, but
Pennsylvania’s highest
court later overturned
it.)

good workers in their prospective

This leads us a present point to
consider: Is our present society at
large forgetting about the importance of work? Or, do we see life
at hand as a matter of entitlement
from the hands of others or from
the checks of government?
The Scripture is clear about practicing the principle of work. When
with the church people of Thessalonica, Paul commanded them
“that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” According to
Apostle Paul, non-workers become
“disorderly, and are busybodies.
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus
Christ that with quietness they
work and eat their own bread.”
God wants us to work, and to
do the best we can in the exercise
thereof, to make the best that we
can and the most that we can. It is
right and good, for life should not
be regarded just as a program of
entitlements.
Anymore, I thank people who
serve me with their working. Many
times, I give them tips for what
they do.
And, by the way, that lady who
made my chocolate shake did real
good, too. I ﬁgured that if Terry was

The sheep’s
prayer

Most of us are familiar with the 23rd Psalm,
and its comforting opening verse, “The Lord is
my shepherd, I shall not want.” Many are likewise
familiar with the declaration of Jesus, “ I am the
good shepherd. I know my own and
my own know me, just as the Father
knows me and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for the sheep
(John 10:14-15; ESV).” Perhaps less
commonly known is that biblical
verse which we might describe as,
The Sheep’s Prayer.
Search the This verse, so described is the
Scriptures very last verse of Psalm 119, a psalm
Jonathan
dedicated to meditations upon the
McAnulty
written word of God, and it reads
as follows: “I have gone astray like a
lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget
your commandments (Psalm 119:176; ESV).”
If we are sheep, belonging to God in Christ,
what kind of sheep are we? The Bible offers an
answer, saying, “All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned—every one—to his own
way (Isaiah 53:6);” and, “all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23; ESV).”
No matter our intentions or sincerity, we are
going to at some point, in foolishness and sin,
wander away from where we should be in our relationship to God. Perhaps we think otherwise, but
the Bible reminds us, “If we say we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us,”
and, “If we say we have not sinned, we make him
a liar, and his word is not in us (1 John 1:8, 10;
ESV).”
Knowing that we are like a sheep gone astray
is not an excuse to turn away from God and his
Word. The Psalmist, confessing his condition,
nonetheless is mindful of God’s revealed will,
declaring, “I do not forget your commandments.”
Indeed, one might justiﬁably think that it is
because of his knowledge of the Scriptures that
the Psalmist knows he is lost. The Scriptures are
given to us for our own good. They are the power
of God unto salvation, in Christ (cf. Romans
1:16), able to make us wise for salvation, instruct
us in righteousness, and equip us for all that God
wants us to do (cf. 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Yet again,
the word of God, in all its wisdom, power and
beauty is not a guarantee against personal choice
and foolishness.
Adam and Eve in the Garden had God’s Word,
given to them directly and in person, yet when the
Serpent spoke, they listened to his deception and
so sinned. The best of men, with one exception,
knowing God’s word, nonetheless each at some
point succumb to self-will and pride and listen to
the devil’s deception and so fall. And what then.
Thus the prayer of the wise sheep who discovers
he is lost: “seek your servant!”
Even as the young child, discovering he is in an
unfamiliar place, surrounded by strange people,
cries out for his father or his mother, so too the
child of God, realizing he has gone astray, cries
out to God for guidance and rescue. And the
marvelous message of Scripture is that God does
indeed seek the lost sheep, desiring to rescue His
plaintive children. Jesus taught, saying, “What do
you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one
of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninetynine and go to the mountains to seek the one that
is straying? (Matthew 18:12; ESV)” In the same
way, we read, “For God so loved the world that
He sent His only Son (John 3:16a),” and, “the Son
of Man came to seek and to save the lost (Luke
19:10).”
When you know that you have messed up,
whether in life, in relationships with your fellow
man, or in your relationship with God. When you
know that you have, like a sheep, gone astray,
remember that there is a God who loves you, who
has given you wise counsel and guidance in His
word, who has given you commands and precepts
by which you should live your life, and turn to
Him for salvation. Like a wise lost sheep, like a
child calling for his parents, remember to call out
to God, “seek your servant!” And remember the
promise of Scripture, “all who call upon the Lord
will be saved (Joel 2:32).”
Call to Him in obedient faith, be baptized and
wash away your sins in His name (cf. Acts 22:16),
and cling to Him, knowing that if his children will
confess their sins to Him, He is faithful and just to
forgive those sins (cf. 1 John 1:9)

survivors.” He urged the House
to act quickly “so I can sign it
into law right away.”
The military routinely used
open burn pits set ablaze with
jet fuel to dispose of tires,
batteries, medical waste and
other materials during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The bill would expand military
veterans’ eligibility for medical
care through the Department
of Veterans Affairs by extending coverage for 10 years after
discharge instead of the current
ﬁve years.
The legislation would also
presume that certain respiratory illnesses and cancers were
related to burn pit exposure,

allowing the veterans to obtain
disability payments to compensate for their injury without having to prove the illness
was a result of their service.
Currently, more than 70% of
disability claims related to
burn pit exposure are denied
by the VA due to lack of evidence, scientiﬁc data and
information from the Defense
Department.
The legislation would also
beneﬁt many Vietnam War-era
veterans by including high
blood pressure in the list of
conditions presumed to have
been caused by exposure to
Agent Orange. And, it would
extend Agent Orange presumptions to veterans who served

in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos,
Guam and American Samoa.
Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
described the bill as “the greatest advance in veterans health
care in decades.” He said
scores of America’s veterans
went off to serve their country
in perfect health only to come
back and get sick from toxic
exposure, and, when they
applied for disability beneﬁts,
oftentimes found out they
didn’t qualify.
“It’s a confounding indignity
for our nation’s heroes to sacriﬁce everything for our country
only to come home, get sick
and discover the VA is not
there for them,” Schumer said.

By Doug Ferguson
AP Golf Writer

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Rory McIlroy made
another bold statement at the U.S. Open. This
time it was with his golf.
McIlroy has become a leading voice on the PGA
Tour over the last few years, particularly with his
rebuke of the Saudi-funded series that is disrupting golf. The opening round Thursday at The
Country Club was a reminder he’s pretty good at
his day job, too.
And a few ﬁery moments showed how badly he
wants to end eight years without a major.
McIlroy made two straight birdies late in his
round to become the ﬁrst player to reach 4 under
among early starters, only to miss the ninth green
and make his only bogey for a 3-under 67 and a
share of the lead with qualiﬁers Joel Dahmen,
David Lingmerth and Callum Tarren.
At the moment, McIlroy isn’t concerned with
his strong stance against LIV Golf.
“It’s been eight years since I won a major,” he said.
“And I just want to get my hands on one again.”
Even with a good start, and coming off a victory
last week in the Canadian Open, it doesn’t ﬁgure
to be easy. The Country Club might be as accommodating as it gets all week, with moderate wind
and cloud cover keeping the sun from making
greens crispy and ﬁrm.
And the best anyone could do was a 67.
Collin Morikawa, trying to win a major for the
third straight year, thought he might be able to
take it deep — at least by U.S. Open standards —
when he birdied the ninth hole to reach 3 under.
But he didn’t make another birdie and closed with
a bogey when he had to lay up short of the gaping
bunker on the 18th, duffed a pitch into the sand
and scrambled for a 69.
“I think it will only get tougher,” he said.
Jon Rahm was also at 69 after hitting wild
drives on his last two holes and converting one for
par, another for birdie.
It already was proving tough enough for Phil
Mickelson, playing on American soil for the ﬁrst
time since he revealed his level of support for the
Saudi-backed league and played last week in the
ﬁrst of Greg Norman’s events.
Mickelson four-putted from about 18 feet for
double bogey on the par-3 sixth, dropping him to
5-over par through six holes in the afternoon.
For McIlroy, it was his second straight major — and
third time in his last four U.S. Opens — he opened
with a score par. There is conﬁdence in his game for
winning last week in Toronto, and there is passion
rare for a Thursday unless the game is going badly.
He tried to drive the reachable par-4 ﬁfth hole
and caught an awkward lie in the thick collar
above a bunker, forcing him to stand in the sand.
He hit that into another bunker, and then twice
slammed the club into the sand out of frustration.
But he managed to save par.
And then from the ninth fairway, his approach
sailed to the right and he ﬂung his club. He
couldn’t save par on that one and had to accept a
67 — not a bad start, and no apologies for his few
outbursts of emotion.

Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos (91) jumps over Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson (6) during the second period

for this run.
The memory of that
series and the 11 since
that ended with them on
the smiling side of the
handshake line combines
to give the Lightning the
perspective they have
today.
“That’s the great thing
about our group: There

longtime winger Alex
Killorn said. “It feels like
we’ve seen it all. We’re
not worried. We’re conﬁdent going forward. But
there’s deﬁnitely a lot
more work to be done.”
That includes trying
to ﬁgure out how to slow
down the speedy Avalanche, who want to turn
games into track meets
and use their offensive
talent to pump in goals.
Despite not getting past
the second round the
past four years, Colorado
also has plenty of playoff
experience and knows to
expect a major pushback
from the champs in Game
2.
Coach Jared Bednar
believes the best way to
handle that is for his team
to keep playing its style.
“Regardless of how
Tampa plays, we have
a certain identity that
we need to play to to
be successful,” Bednar

said. “We’ve learned that
during the course of this
season, especially. And
then for me, it’s just managing those momentum
swings.”
Tampa Bay is the ﬁrst
team since Wayne Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers in
the mid-1980s to reach
the ﬁnal three years in a
row and is four victories
away from the league’s
ﬁrst three-peat since
the New York Islanders
dynasty of the early ‘80s.
Cooper has managed to
keep his players’ emotions in check so much
that defenseman Mikhail
Sergachev called the 1-0
deﬁcit “the usual stuff.”
As unusual as it was for
Tampa Bay to fall behind
2-0 last round against the
New York Rangers, the
Avalanche present a different challenge behind
their high-end talent.
While the Lightning will
need to improve their
play, most notably how
they start, their mentality is now their biggest
advantage.
“That’s taken some
time for us to kind of fall
into that mindset, but
we’ve really developed
that over the years,” Cooper said. “Hopefully one
more series we can carry
that through and take
another step forward.”

Thompson said, “Our

before the deadly Jan.
6 insurrection as the
defeated Trump pursued
the theory that Pence
could swing the election, putting his own
vice president in danger as the mob headed
toward the Capitol.
The panel heard from
Greg Jacob, the vice
president’s counsel who
fended off Eastman’s
ideas for Pence to carry
out the plan, and retired
federal judge Michael
Luttig, who called the
plan from Eastman, his
former law clerk, “incorrect at every turn.”
Jacob said that Pence
summoned him to his
West Wing ofﬁce in
early December 2020
to seek clarity about
the vice president’s
role in the certiﬁcation
of election results. He
said it became clear to
Pence that the founding
fathers did not intend
to empower any one
person, including someone running for ofﬁce,
to affect the election
result.
Pence “never
budged,” from that initial view, Jacob said.
Luttig, a highlyrespected conservative

scholar who had been
a leading contender
more than a decade
ago for the Supreme
Court, said that had
Pence obeyed Trump’s
orders, obviously contrary to the law, the
declaring “of Donald
Trump as the next
president would have
plunged America into
what I believe would
have been tantamount
to a revolution within a
constitutional crisis in
America.”
Thursday’s session
also presented new evidence about the danger
Pence faced as rioters
outside the Capitol
were chanting “Hang
Mike Pence” with a
makeshift gallows as the
vice president ﬂed with
senators into hiding.
Video was shown of the
rioters spewing vulgarities about Pence as they
headed toward the Capitol. Nine people died in
the insurrection and its
aftermath.
In another development Thursday, Thompson said the panel will
ask Virginia “Ginni”
Thomas, the wife of
Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas, for
an interview amid dis-

closures of the conservative activist’s communications with people in
Trump’s orbit ahead of
the attack. He did not
specify a schedule for
that.
“It’s time for her to
come talk,” Thompson
told reporters ahead of
the hearing.
Ahead of the hearing,
Pence’s former chief of
staff, Marc Short, said
his boss was determined
to stay at the Capitol
that night and ﬁnish the
job, despite the threats.
“He knew his job was
to stay at his post,”
Short said on CNN on
Wednesday.
Short said Pence
didn’t want the world
seeing the vice president leaving the Capitol
when “a hallmark of
democracy” was under
siege.
The panel’s yearlong investigation is
showcasing Trump’s
ﬁnal weeks in ofﬁce as
the defeated president
clung to “the big lie” of
a rigged election even
as those around him —
his family, his top aides,
ofﬁcials at the highest
levels of government —
were telling him he simply lost the election.
