In September 2010, near Peoria, Illinois, Bonnie and Travis Engstrom welcomed their son James into the world at home. The joy of the birth quickly turned to crisis: the baby was born without a pulse and was not breathing. Emergency responders rushed him to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, the same city where Fulton Sheen had been ordained a priest nearly a century earlier.
At the hospital, medical teams worked frantically to revive the infant. Minute after minute passed with no detectable heartbeat. By ordinary medical standards, the situation appeared hopeless. Staff prepared to declare him stillborn. Throughout the ordeal, the Engstrom family and those with them prayed, invoking the intercession of Venerable Fulton Sheen, to whom they had a devotion. They had even named their son James Fulton in his honor.
For 61 minutes, James had no pulse. Then, without medical explanation, his heart began to beat. Doctors had been moments from stopping their efforts. A child without oxygen for that length of time would typically suffer severe, permanent neurological damage. James did not. He recovered fully, with no lasting physical or mental impairment.
The Church carefully investigated the case. A local tribunal examined the medical records and witness testimony. Expert physicians ruled out any natural explanation for the recovery. Theologians confirmed that the prayers had specifically invoked Sheen’s intercession. The sealed documentation was sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. In July 2019, Pope Francis formally approved the healing as a miracle attributed to Sheen’s intercession, clearing the way for his beatification.
The story of James Fulton Engstrom places a human face on the long process of recognizing holiness. A family prayed in their darkest hour, a holy bishop interceded, and a child lived. The Church believes Sheen, who spent his life drawing souls to Christ, continues that work from heaven.
🚨INCREDIBLE: During a multi-vehicle collision on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, a 2-year-old girl was ejected from a pickup truck, falling nearly 30 feet into the Assawoman Bay below.
Jonathan Bauer, who was driving across the bridge with his teenage daughter when the crash occurred, rushed over to inspect the wreckage. Looking down into the water, he saw the toddler floating face down and becoming unresponsive.
Without hesitation, Bauer instructed his daughter to flag down first responders, removed his shoes, and leapt off the bridge into the bay. He swam to the little girl, lifted her onto his shoulder, and patted her back until she coughed up water and began breathing again.
A passing pontoon boat quickly navigated toward them, pulling both Bauer and the toddler out of the water and transporting them to shore, where emergency personnel were waiting. The child was airlifted to a regional medical center for evaluation and released the following day in good condition.
Bauer was later honored by local law enforcement and civic leaders for his decisive actions and selflessness.
This video shows why President Trump banned corrupt news outlets from the White House.
The mainstream media is the enemy of the people!
I hope POTUS airs this on Trump TV because the world deserves to see how dishonest our media is towards him!
@BobbyYayArea@MikeRogersForMI If those bills that only contain benefits for 9/11 first responder survivors, that would have been fine. But the bills shoved through by democrats were filled with graft as the Democrats were money laundering billions upon billions of dollars back into their campaign coffers.
Todd Beamer and 39 other patriots sacrificed everything to save our nation’s Capitol on September 11, 2001.
He’s survived by his wife, three kids, and parents. His dad, David Beamer, is right. Nobody deserved this.
Let’s roll.
@DanBorman@thesportsontap Justice White never wavered in his conviction about the deep wrong of that decision. In fact, no justice has spoken more forcefully about the corrupt reasons that often lead people to abortion
@DanBorman@thesportsontap As Chief Justice, if Burger sided with the majority, he could assign the writing of the opinion to anyone else, so Burger chose Blackmun to write the opinion, because Blackmun had the compromise opinion of trimesters & regulating restrictions for last trimesters.
@DanBorman@thesportsontap The original vote was 6-3, with Chief Justice Burger dissenting as well. But by Supreme Court rule, that would have meant radical William Douglas (as most senior Justice on the majority) would have authored the official opinion & Douglas wanted unrestricted abortion through birth
I want to shake the hand of the guy who wrote this...
Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?
Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?
Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?
Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?
Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?
The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???
Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug-nosed slaves." Says a lot about what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it, Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Women's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so that they are often beaten for not wearing the 'hijab' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops, and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims whose asses you bent over backward to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ...
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama, is the "Muslim heritage" in America
EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !!
Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage,

A mother and her three young children were trapped inside an upside-down SUV that was filling with water in a Florida canal.
One of the little boys was banging on the door, screaming that his mom’s head was underwater.
That’s when Casey Curtis heard the cries and ran toward the canal. He reached the submerged SUV and started pulling the children out one by one, getting all three to safety.
But their mother was still inside.
Casey went back to the vehicle and found her unconscious, still buckled into her seat with her head underwater. He lifted her face above the water, realized she wasn’t breathing and gave her a breath right there in the canal.
She started breathing again.
The mother spent several days in intensive care, but she survived. All three of her children survived too.
Those kids watched a stranger pull them from a sinking SUV, then turn around and go back into the water for their mom when she couldn’t save herself. Casey Curtis is the kind of person people should know about.
Never forget ‼️⚠️
In 2021, Leilani Lutali was in stage 5 kidney failure. She already had a living donor, Jaimee Fougner, a friend from Bible study. UCHealth in Colorado told them the transplant was on track. Then the policy changed.
Both women were given 30 days to start the COVID vaccine or be dropped from the list. Leilani offered to sign a waiver. They refused. The hospital’s line was simple: no shot, no kidney.
She did not die on that list. She and Jaimee went to Baylor in Texas. The transplant went ahead without the mandate. Kidney function jumped from about 5% to 73% after surgery.
A willing donor. A dying patient. And a hospital that made the injection the price of staying alive.
Never forget they did this.
