To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.

I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.

One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”

It knocked me back.

I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”

I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.

That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.

I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.

I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.

People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.

I'll tell you why.

Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.

I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.

In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.

The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.

You just have to stop running.

The Pentagon has flagged prominent Chinese firms, including Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD, as supporting the Chinese military.

The list, released June 8 for publication June 10, covers companies in AI, solar, biotech, and electronic batteries. It describes them as “military-civil fusion contributors” under China’s strategy integrating civil entities into defense.

The determination follows a U.S.-China summit with no major trade deals. Made under the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual list alerts sectors to risks without immediate sanctions but bars Pentagon contracts or indirect procurement.

It has expanded since early 2025 with additions like TP-Link, WuXi AppTec, RoboSense, CALB Group, and Unitree Robotics, plus solar and semiconductor firms such as JA Solar, Trina Solar, BOE Technology, and Zhongji Innolight. The June list mirrors a withdrawn February version.

Listed entities can appeal with evidence. Congress has raised alarms, with Rep. John Moolenaar calling it a warning against enabling China’s military. The Epoch Times reached out to Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD for comment.

In a historic deal, Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic agreed to a self-imposed 20-year ban on sex-rejecting procedures for minors.

The clinic will establish a $2 million restorative care fund for those harmed by gender-related surgeries and medications, and pay a $308,000 penalty to resolve allegations of false billings for such procedures.

The Department of Justice noted the claims are allegations only, with no determination of liability, and Cleveland Clinic denied all allegations.

The settlement follows similar actions at other clinics amid the Trump administration’s opposition to these procedures for minors, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.

Medical professionals and a detransitioner welcomed the moratorium and fund but expressed concerns, calling for stronger measures like criminal prosecutions instead of civil settlements.

The DOJ also reached a deal with Texas Children’s Hospital for a $10 million penalty, cessation of procedures for minors, and a clinic for detransitioners.
Officials stated the resolutions protect children and send a message to providers nationwide.

Comedy of AI errors: Lawyers on both sides of a case misuse AI, cite fake hallucinated cases.

At the show-cause hearing, "each of the attorneys expressed embarrassment and apologized to the Court."

"Neither of them verified the legal authority output by AI before filing their briefs."

In other words, there were two clients who basically were paying for ChatGPT (or whatever LLM) to argue against itself.

Neither of them realized this until the court issued the OSC!

Fines all around (between $1,000 and $3,500), other sanctions include pro hac status revoked, disqualified from practicing in the district for 2 years, among other things:

Eight medical groups and more than a dozen medical schools have pledged to ramp up nutrition education, officials announced on June 8.

The National Board of Medical Examiners and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine were among the eight organizations that reached an agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has prioritized increasing nutrition education, announcing in March that 53 schools would require a minimum of 40 hours.

Nineteen additional schools, including Texas A&M University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Massachusetts, have committed to requiring at least 40 hours or a competency equivalent.

“Together these three announcements send a clear message—nutrition is returning to the center of American medicine,” Kennedy said.

Approximately 163 U.S. schools offer doctor of medicine degrees, with about 100,000 students attending.

Officials contacted medical organizations in fall 2025 and held more than 100 meetings after surveys showed inadequate nutrition training, including an average of only 1.2 hours per year.

Dr. Mehmet Oz recounted that doctors are not taught nutrition or prevention and carry an attitude that only medical school teachings matter.

The commitments are voluntary, with no forced curriculum.

Other efforts include a changed food pyramid and nutrition guidelines affecting institutional food service.

I disagree with this take - voters in Los Angeles DO care and voted for Pratt accordingly. The ballot drop for Noodles Ramen or whatever her name is pretty blatant fraud and abuse

NYC the voters were replaced by foreigners who vote along ethnic blocs

The next step should be federal intervention, not just giving up and calling it quits on the 2 largest cities in the country. Root out the fraud cells with the same anti-mafia tactics that busted up the NY/NJ mob back in the 1980s-1990s.

President Trump on the conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu:

We had a very good conversation.
They attacked him and he struck back.
I don't blame him for acting that way...

Now they (Iran and Israel) will leave each other alone for a week or something like that...

Both sides agreed to stop. We are now in the final stage of a very good deal that will not allow nuclear weapons for Iran and will lead to the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. This could happen within two or three days.

Here’s a very basic breakdown of Korean politics.

In Korea, the left is pro-China, pro-North Korea, more multicultural, feminist, and anti-America. The right is pro-America, anti-China, anti-North Korea, more skeptical of immigration, and anti-feminist.

Korean politics is still stuck in Cold War dynamics because of the legacy of the Korean War. The left wants to be nice to North Korea and pretend there’s no threat. The right knows we’re still technically at war.

But social issues like immigration and feminism are starting to matter more, and the divide is slowly starting to look more like the West.

Fr. Gregory Pine did the best treatment of this question when he was interviewed by Alex O'Connor.

Alex: "What if someone sincerely searches for God, but no matter what he does, he is simply unconvinced?"

Fr. Pine: "That's impossible and he'd be culpable for living in denial."
