The administration’s achievements in Venezuela and Iran may have set back China’s invasion of Taiwan by years, if not indefinitely. We’ve drastically curtailed the energy independence, power projection capability, and alliance networks they would have relied on to cripple our response in a major conflict. Trump and Rubio have quite possibly prevented WWIII.

THIS is how China CCP uses TikTok to destroy America

Yes anyone using it and anyone not opposing its full divestment from China is a moron who massively underestimated the THREAT we have warned about for years.

India banned it in 2020 because Modi knew!

People are about twice as likely to approve of **coal plants** being built nearby as opposed to data centers.

Coal plants use more water and pollute more. They create comparable noise pollution. There's no way this makes sense outside a media panic.

This reminds me of Romans 7: Paul says, “I do not understand what I do. What I want to do, I don’t do, but what I hate, I do.”

He cries, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me?”

Then comes the answer: “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” 🙏🏽

Need to investigate a patch of turf from Disch-Falk field @ tu

[Jim Koenigsberger @Jimfrombaseball]

"The "Philadelphia Inquirer" found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium.
Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West have died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer. The six players all died in their 40's or 50's, roughly three times the rate of the average adult population.
Even more alarming was their mutual diagnosis of glioblastoma.
The Phillies sold pieces of turf in sealed 4 x 4" bags.
The "Inquirer" purchased four of those on eBay.
Samples analyzed by two separate labs found 16 types of dangerous chemicals in the turf.
They are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and can last in the human body for years.
The US federal government estimates that 12,000 artificial turf fields containing PFAS or “forever chemicals” exist in USA.

The bond market situation is crazy.

While everyone focuses on AI, US borrowing rates just hit the highest level since June 2007.

Credit card "serious delinquencies" are at the highest since 2010 and mortgage rates could near 8%.

What's happening? Let us explain.

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.

"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.

And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.

And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

The US is the largest country in the world that speaks one language, has many power poles/major cities, and you are allowed to just get up and move to any of them without bureaucracy.

[Texas A&M University @TAMU]

This year, we celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary and Texas A&M’s 150th anniversary, carrying forward the land‑grant mission that helped shape our nation’s future.

From 1776 to 1876 to today, these milestones reflect a shared legacy of service, leadership and commitment to the public good.

Our story is part of the American story. Together, we stand to inspire the future generation to be a force for good.

[Autumn Christian @teachrobotslove]

I used to think when Jesus said that anyone with the faith of a mustard seed could move a mountain, it was a testament to the deadened magic of the world, a kind of mockery of our inability to create miracles for ourselves. But we created machines from sand and metal that speak alien languages. We built bombs that disrupt matter by shifting them at the subatomic level. We can fly. We can live under the sea. We can send songs to each other through invisible waves on the air, fall in love with someone we never met, travel across the world with only our fingers while our eyes are closed. We can tell a story so amazing that it shifts the very foundation of reality. We've been moving mountains this entire time. It's only because we've become so accustomed to the mundanity of our miraculous powers that we've forgotten it is miraculous.

so apparently the concept of a teenager basically did not exist until post-WWII. a specific combination of historical forces produced a new class of young people who all had to go to high school, could not work on farms or in mills or factories anymore, and had access to money and cars. the entire rebellious teenager trope was created in this time period so it refers specifically to boomers rebelling against the silent generation, who grew up in a completely different world. the generation gap here was so stark this is also where the term "generation gap" even comes from, and i think the whole practice of naming distinct generations

Why Christian Marriage Was Revolutionary

"To appreciate how unique the Christian view of marriage is, we need to set it against the ancient Greco-Roman culture into which the church was born. In the ancient world, sexual promiscuity among men was widespread and socially accepted. The purpose of a wife was to have legal heirs, but it was expected that men would have sex with prostitutes, mistresses, concubines, and, most of all, with their slaves—male and female, children and adults.

Demosthenes famously said, “We keep prostitutes for pleasure. We keep mistresses for the day-to-day needs of the body. We keep wives for the begetting of children and for the faithful guardianship of our homes.” Wives sometimes protested, but they were told they had no choice but to accept their husband’s promiscuity....

Men could accuse their wives of adultery, but since it was thought acceptable for men to have sex outside of marriage, wives could not accuse their husbands of adultery. Cato declared, “If you catch your wife in adultery, you can kill her with impunity; she, however, cannot dare to lay a finger on you if you commit adultery. It is the law.”

In this historical context, Christianity was nothing short of revolutionary. At its core was a new form of sexual equality. To the shock of the ancient world, both sexes were held to the same moral standard. Christianity condemned promiscuity among men as well as women. It stood out as radically different because it taught that a husband actually wrongs his wife by committing adultery. Jesus said, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery” (Mark 10:11–12).

Such even-handed treatment was genuinely novel."

It truly puzzles me to watch people look at these stunning, awe inspiring images from NASA’s Artemis II mission, showing Earth and the Moon exactly as physics predicts, and their first instinct is to shout into the world:

“I am willfully ignorant. I reject evidence. I refuse to understand even the most basic science, and I would rather deny reality than accept it.”

There is something deeply broken in that mindset. Not skepticism, not curiosity, but a deliberate refusal to engage with reality itself.

These images are not just beautiful. They are a direct window into how the universe actually works. And some people would rather close their eyes than look.
