Striker Summary: The month of March this year holds all kinds of “madness” for the planet: from White House malfeasance on the border to Biden corruption to Trans-insanity issuing from Canada and Ukraine. The month ends on a note, however, which offers the only true hope there is.

It’s March, and you know what that means—lots of change and celebration in the air.
Daylight Saving begins on March 10.
St. Patrick’s Day is March 17. On that day, everyone’s Irish—even the English among us.
The spring equinox is on March 20. And there’s March madness.
I’m not talking about watching 68 colleges battle it out for the NCAA basketball men’s and women’s titles.
Or even the advent of baseball spring training, with opening day (March 28) only weeks away. Can’t you just hear John Fogarty joyfully belting out, “There’s new grass on the field!”
But, no, my focus on March madness involves things that don’t make much sense.
For instance, why, after a string of primary defeats, and with Super Tuesday looming to inflict more on March 5, is Nikki Haley still acting like she’s the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination?
Could it be that she sees herself as the fallback candidate for when the corrupt Democrat “justice” system bags former President Donald Trump?
That’s my guess. But I can’t see Trump supporters rallying around her in that event. Some Democrats, maybe, but not the GOP party base, without which no Republican can win.
Moving on, what kind of madness explains some GOP politicians’ reluctance to view Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas’s conduct as “high crimes and misdemeanors?”
Mr. Mayorkas, whom the House barely impeached, has engineered a full-scale invasion of the United States by 10 million illegal aliens. He has lied repeatedly to Congress.
His boss, President Joe Biden, is now pretending to secure the border. He did a photo op on Thursday in low-volume crossing point Brownsville, Texas.
Former President Trump, who actually did secure the border, appeared on the same day at troublesome Eagle Pass, Texas.
Point made.
By the way, what’s a higher crime? Allowing an invasion or selling your country out to communist China while making millions? The Biden crime family has both bases covered.
Another thing that the mad March hare dragged in, albeit a bit early, is news from Canada that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is sending millions of his citizens’ tax dollars to Ukraine for “gender-inclusive demining.”
That’s right. The war with Russia has left behind many landmines in civilian areas that need removal. Sending money for that seems like a worthy humanitarian endeavor.
But Mr. Trudeau went where no Canadian PM has gone before. He issued a directive, backed by $4 million, that part of the mission is “establishing a gender and diversity working group to promote gender-transformative mine action in Ukraine.”
Well, I for one am glad he’s doing this. The shocking lack of female, transgender and nonbinary mine removal experts has kept me up at night.
But even if that’s resolved, we have the World Bank also going for another diversity brass ring. Their gambit involves mines that don’t explode.
The bank has issued a press release urging “Action for Gender Equality in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining.” Like Mr. Trudeau’s folly, it was unleashed in February, but that’s cold comfort for miners who now have to contend with diversity mandates while worrying about cave-ins.
March 20th is World Puppet Day. I think it has something to do with honoring the current White House press corps.
On a far more serious note, Muslims will observe the reflective period of Ramadan, which begins on March 10.
Jews will observe Purim on March 23 to commemorate God’s deliverance of the Jews through Queen Esther in Persia.
Back to madness for a moment: Adherents of the New Age religion of gender insanity will celebrate the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on March 31.
That’s when everyone is supposed to cheer when a dude decides he’s really Scarlet O’Hara and needs medical intervention so he can join the girls’ swim team.
If this sounds squirrely to you, you probably believe that God created a natural order based on immutable male and female DNA. That makes you the crazy one in a culture marching toward madness.
The month of March, it is said, comes in like a lion, but goes out like a lamb.
This year, Easter Sunday falls on March 31. It’s the day Christians celebrate Jesus Christ’s rising from the tomb and His promise of eternal life to those who believe.
The triumph of the Lamb of God, open to all, is the ultimate antidote to all sorts of madness.
