Praying to Mary or the saints is not a biblical practice, it is a dangerous tradition of men. Scripture clearly teaches there is only one mediator between God and mankind, and that is Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 2:5).
Direct all your prayers and worship to him alone.
😳 HOLY MOLY! Lufthansa’s Boeing 747-8i executes a MISSED APPROACH on runway 24R at LAX! The nose pitches up, and for a moment, it looks like the tail comes dangerously close to the runway—but there was no tail strike!

Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur has resigned after being scammed out of roughly €60-70 million by an Indian company.
The advance payments went to Datasel, a tiny Italian shell company that had been bought by an Indian family business with zero artillery experience. Neither firm had ever sold an artillery shell.
Some materiel did arrive, but it was unusable, missing fuzes and propellant. Even after deadlines were missed, more payments kept flowing. The money has not been recovered.
Pevkur admitted he "did not read the contracts in detail."
The shells were meant for Ukraine, funded mainly from the profits on frozen Russian assets held by the EU.

D.C. National Guard Major Pleads Guilty to Immigration Fraud Scheme and to Theft of Government Money
Collin L. Welch, 40, of Arlington, Virginia, a Major in the D.C. National Guard, pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court to unlawfully inducing aliens to enter and remain in the United States and to theft of about $54,000 in government money, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Welch pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali to unlawfully inducing aliens to enter and remain in the United States and to theft of government money.
As part of the plea, Welch agreed to forfeit a money judgment of $54,000 to the United States.
Judge Ali scheduled sentencing for Dec 3, 2026.
According to court documents and @JudgeJeanine Welch is a National Guard officer who previously served in the Alaska and D.C. National Guard with prior deployments to Afghanistan and Djibouti. In 2019, despite being married, he began a relationship with a Mongolian national while he was posted to the U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Welch later fabricated a divorce decree to convince the Mongolian woman he was no longer married, and in 2022 married her in Mongolia while still legally married to his wife.
In 2024, Welch brought the Mongolian woman and her minor daughter to the United States on tourist visas, and in October 2024 married the Mongolian woman a second time, in Virginia, again while still legally married.
After the woman and her daughter’s tourist visas expired in early 2025, Welch knowingly continued to support them financially and house them. When the Mongolian woman asked about her immigration status, Welch fabricated a series of documents, including fake permanent residency approvals, Social Security cards, and a letter falsely indicating military dependent health benefits, to convince her that a citizenship process was underway. None of the documents were ever filed with any government agency.
Separately, Welch used his government travel card to submit fraudulent travel vouchers and fabricated receipts for hotel stays and rental cars that never occurred, and used the card without authorization to fund personal travel and to pay for the woman and her daughter’s living and travel expenses, resulting in about $54,000 in unauthorized charges to the United States.
The investigation was conducted by U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID), with assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Criminal Investigations Unit.
@geoffkeighley Finally, someone with the guts to ask Nolan some real questions like "why are you such a f*ggot who hates human greatness and makes everything dull and depressing?"
Christopher Nolan did not explain why Calypso was stuck on that island alone. The reason why Calypso lives or is bound to the island Ogygia is because she's the daughter of the titan Atlas. Calypso sided with the Titans ( the losers) during the war of the gods. So after the Olympian gods defeated the Titans, Zeus banished Calypso to the island Ogygia. She's to live in isolation. So when Odysseus washed up to her island she didn't let him go. She kept him there for seven years as a spouse and even had kids with him. Odysseus longed to leave and always cried about it every single day, until Athena brought the matter to Zeus and Zeus sent Hermes to Calypso commanding her to let Odysseus go otherwise he'd sink her island at the bottom of Poseidon's Sea. Calypso only let him go because Zeus himself commanded her.. lol.
She never fed him lotus leaves to forget about Penelope. Odysseus was very much aware about the years he spent with her. Seriously, I wish Nolan's Odyssey movie was true to the mythology.

Nolan didn’t cut Odysseus’s arrogance from this scene, he just gave it a different trigger. No clever ‘Nobody’ reveal here, he shoots a blinded, defenseless Cyclops purely out of rage after they’d already escaped safely. Honestly that’s uglier than the original myth, not smarter. Same fatal pride, worse look
🚨🇭🇷 BREAKING: The Croatian Football Federation has sent a letter to FIFA expressing its dissatisfaction with the refereeing in the match against Portugal.
“The Croatian Football Federation has sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressing our deep disappointment and disagreement over the match against Portugal, not because of the refereeing decisions themselves, as those can be debated after every match, but because of the process that led to those decisions.
First of all, we believe that the VAR protocol was applied completely incorrectly in the penalty awarded to Portugal, and that the referee should never have been called to review the incident on the pitch-side monitor. Even more importantly, we believe that Joško Gvardiol's equalising goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Contrary to the Laws of the Game and the spirit of football, Mario Pašalić was judged to be offside because of an alleged touch by Igor Matanović that, in our view, did not actually occur, the decision was made simply because the sensor indicated that it had.
We believe this represents a misuse of technology. We welcome technology in football, but we do not think this kind of application benefits FIFA, the teams, or football supporters. We know that our letter will not ease the pain and disappointment felt by our fans and players, but we believe it is important to draw FIFA's attention to these issues and request a detailed explanation of all the decisions,” said Tomislav Pacak, spokesperson for the Croatian Football Federation, as reported by https://t.co/TpzEjN5SGv
