“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
(1 Cor 13:11-13)
NEW: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele launches military operation in Haiti, threatens to eviscerate Haitian gangs as he did to gangs in El Salvador if they don't return hostages.
The statement came after four Salvadoran men were kidnapped by Haitian gangs.
"Today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive," he said.
Bukele says the four Salvadoran men are aviation technicians.
"They were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.
"That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm."
Bukele then issued a warning if gang leaders harm any of the men.
"I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive..."
"And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too..."
"Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping."
In this waiting room and they have on old Price is Right reruns from the 1970s and it’s like looking into a different world. Prices are obviously way cheaper, everyone in the crowd is thin and good-looking, and every single product is made in America
We’ve been doing this with my wife. Having people over ad hoc. Hanging at the dinner table drinking some tea or some take out.
Next is to call up people and ask them if they’re around because we want to come over. This one is a bit tough, but we grew up like this with our parents and want to see if we can emulate the same thing in this day and age.
I am disliking going to a restaurant and facing off and spending $$ for zero reason.
Marriage luxuries we forget are luxuries:
* Morning kisses
* Having a permanent plus-one
* "Text me when you get there"
* Knowing each other's orders by heart
* Car rides with your favorite person
* Going to bed together
* Someone noticing when something's off
* Celebrating the little wins
* Late night laugh attacks
* Doing absolutely nothing together
* Being cared for when you're sick
* Building a family
* Creating traditions of your own
* Being completely yourself
* Choosing each other every day
* A sleepover every night with your favorite person.
The little things are actually the big things.
Siempre nos dijeron que vivir en paz era imposible, hasta que demostramos que sí se podía.
Gracias a Dios, nunca los escuchamos.
Hoy, más que nunca, estoy convencido de que esto es posible en cualquier lugar. Y nuestros hermanos de Costa Rica también van a lograrlo 🇸🇻🇨🇷
J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
When a man becomes a father in his 60s, we barely blink. But when a woman welcomes a baby in her 50s, suddenly everyone has an opinion.
Hilary Swank has announced she’s expecting her third child at 52, and instead of simply celebrating the arrival of another baby, the internet has launched into a debate about whether she’s too old to be a mother.
She recently welcomed twins Aya and Ohm with husband Philip Schneider in 2023 at 48.
Acknowledging biological reality shouldn’t mean treating a healthy, wanted pregnancy like a moral offense.

🚨 ISLAMIZATION OF ARKANSAS!
A BIRTH-TO-DEATH ISLAMIC “COMMUNITY FOR LIFE” - WHO SETS THE RULES?
ARE WE NOW ALLOWING ISLAM TO BUILD ISLAMIC MINI-STATES WITHIN OUR BORDERS?
Childhood Sharia instruction. Islamic youth programs. Worship. Islamic Business. Islamic Family "support". Sharia Funeral services.
Madina Institute is proposing 88,000 square feet of Islamic institutional life in Little Rock, bringing those services under one umbrella.
From raising children to burying the dead, the ambition reaches across generations. Arkansas deserves answers about the authority behind it.
An 800-person prayer hall. Islamic classrooms. A library. Youth facilities. Business offices. Retail shops. Counseling. Funeral services. More than 500 parking spaces. It is almost like you never have to deal with ANY non-Muslims at ALL!
This used to be a massive Kohl's; the negotiated purchase price is $6.1 million.
The buildings are detailed. The rules deserve equal scrutiny.
What role does Sharia play in the curriculum, counseling, and institutional policies?
Will children learn that freedom includes questioning Islam and leaving it? Will women’s equal rights and individual choices be respected? Can families reject the institution’s teachings without coercion?
A birth-to-death institution must never become birth-to-death control. Who will know what is happening inside these walls?
They promise “a community for life.” Demand proof that the people inside remain free to choose their own lives.
Which red state will Islam target next? See our full report below!
A teenager walked into my barbershop five minutes before closing with $6 in his hand. He had a job interview the next morning, and a haircut cost $25.
“Sir, I know you’re about to close,” he said. “I just don’t want to walk into that interview looking like this.”
I’d been cutting hair in Macon, Georgia, for thirty-eight years. I’d seen plenty of people who needed help but were too embarrassed to ask.
The boy looked about sixteen. His sneakers were held together with tape, and his hoodie had a hole near the pocket.
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Marcus.”
“Sit down, Marcus.”
I gave him the best haircut I could. I cleaned up his edges, trimmed his sides, and checked every detail before turning him toward the mirror.
He stared at himself for a few seconds.
“Thank you, sir,” he whispered. “I look like somebody who might actually get hired.”
He put his $6 on the counter.
“You still owe me $19,” I told him. “But you can pay the rest whenever you’re able.”
Then I reached into a drawer and pulled out a spare tie.
“Wear this tomorrow. You can keep it.”
Marcus held the tie carefully, as if I’d handed him something much more expensive.
“I’ll remember this,” he said.
I smiled and turned off the shop lights.
I figured that was the last I’d see of him….
My son handled a bad situation well in the middle of the night and I’m really proud of him. I know I’m simultaneously more strict and more free rein than many other moms, but the key is sheltering your kids long enough to make sure they have a safe heart and then prepare and expose them to the world enough that when bullshit happens they are ready to respond. It’s a messy dance. Your son should be capable of handling a bad situation with strength and yet safe enough to not use it unwisely. This is hard, but necessary. Women and children cannot be safe around a man who is too violent or a man who is incapable of violence. My husband is the most fierce and gentle man I’ve ever known. To raise a man like this is a delicate science.
We don’t always get it right, but we did today and so today we celebrate the wins.
If India won't allow an American company into its country, then Trump should issue an executive order barring India from doing business inside the United States.
