My best friend Karl got married last weekend We've known each other since kindergarten, yet he didn't ask me to be his best man A few hours into the wedding, his actual best man stood up for the speech "I met Karl in Bali, we were both digital nomads, living there for a few years" "Now look at him, married man with family, finally paying taxes" Everyone laughed, except me. I was already doing mental math in my head If he lived in Bali for three years, he committed tax fraud by hiding foreign income I stood up and quietly walked to the parking lot Half an hour later, during the first dance, tax inspectors and two police officers came into the hall Despite the entire family screaming, they cuffed Karl and walked him out of the venue I looked him right in the eye, smiling with satisfaction Nobody is above the law in Germany

Echoes of War

163 years ago today, in a late-night crisis meeting in Washington, the Union government made a decision that showcased the North's single greatest advantage in the war: the ability to move an entire army corps over a thousand miles in a matter of days. It was a logistical feat that would have been unimaginable in any earlier war. The crisis was Chattanooga. After the disaster at Chickamauga, Rosecrans's Union army was trapped and slowly starving inside the city, besieged by Bragg's Confederates on the surrounding heights. Something drastic had to be done, and fast, or an entire Union army might be lost. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton proposed a bold and radical solution to a skeptical Lincoln and his advisers: strip two entire infantry corps, some 20,000 men, from the Army of the Potomac in Virginia and rush them clear across the country to relieve Chattanooga. The scale of the idea was staggering. The soldiers would have to travel roughly 1,200 miles, over a patchwork of different railroads with different track gauges, crossing rivers and switching lines, all while moving not just men but their horses, artillery, wagons, and supplies. Nothing on this scale had ever been attempted. Many doubted it could be done in anything less than months. Once the decision was made, the Union war machine moved with breathtaking speed. Reportedly, within about 40 hours of the order, the first troops were already rolling. The XI and XII Corps, placed under Joseph Hooker, were loaded onto trains and sent racing westward through Washington, across the Ohio, down through Kentucky and Tennessee, in a continuous, carefully coordinated stream of rolling stock. It became known as one of the great rescues by rail in history. The numbers tell the story of the achievement. Around 20,000 men with their equipment were transported some 1,233 miles in roughly 11 days, an operation of a speed and scale that simply had no precedent. Those reinforcements, combined with troops from Sherman and the arrival of Ulysses S. Grant to take command, would break the siege of Chattanooga that autumn. This is one of those aspects of the Civil War that decided its outcome as surely as any battle. The North's industrial might, its dense web of railroads, its telegraph lines, and its organizational genius let it do things the agrarian South simply could not match. The Confederacy had brave soldiers and brilliant generals, but it could never move 20,000 men across the country in eleven days. The decision set in motion on this day was a glimpse of the modern, industrial way of war, and of why the Union would ultimately win.

@JoshYohe_PGH Who cares. This team isn’t good with or without him. Going to be a long overdue bad year and maybe this organization can start to rebuild and get out of perpetual mediocrity

A pregnant woman on death row can't be executed until her baby is born because the law recognizes her preborn child is innocent. So why is abortion legal?

In 1979, just weeks before he died, Archbishop Fulton Sheen gave his final interview to Marie Torre of WABC. The 5 most important things he said in the interview were.... 1. Modern erotic culture is a failure of purpose, not merely a failure of rules. 2. Children require moral formation, not permissive abandonment disguised as freedom. 3. The human heart wants life, truth, and love in an absolute form; this desire points to God. 4. The Church cannot become credible by copying the world. 5. The family depends on sacrificial love, not mutual self-satisfaction. When he gave this interview, no one knew it would be his last. Let us never forget his wisdom.

83-year-old Christian grandma Brigitte Stegemann in Ontario had stage 4 cancer, was hearing impaired, and already told them no to MAID because of her faith. Her family was away. Care home pushed it through. She never said yes on the day.Hands folded in prayer. Canada still gave her MAID. Belleville police are now investigating. Canada is murdering their citizens. Is this what is coming to America? This is demonic. Canadians should be furious and fighting back. I am furious for them.
