Today’s generation of players only know Chuck as the funny guy who eats donuts on TNT. They have no idea how good he was.

Houston Barkley was a better player than peak Draymond. Chuck not letting him know that was a masterclass in grace and humility.

Christian astronaut pilots first moon mission in 53 years

Victor Glover, NASA Artemis II astronaut, made some remarkable statements in a pre-Easter interview from the Orion space capsule.

He cites "the beauty of creation" and says “When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…” and then says we were "created."

Glover then says that Earth is an "amazing place" and Earth "was created to give us a place to live in the universe".

He goes on to say "You are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together."

Take control of what you can control. Give God the things you cannot. Trust Him for everything.

Let's talk about Kawhi's season

No player in NBA history has averaged their career high PPG so late in their career (14th season)

No team in NBA history has finished .500 after such a bad start (6-21)

The Clippers are the 5th best team in the league with him on the court, worst with him off

20 points in 43 straight games. The oldest ever to average such a long streak, and second to only SGA right now

He has put this team on his back and locked in

We should suspend all student loan “interest.” 0% interest. This is not loan forgiveness and a fair compromise.

Gratitude literally rewires your brain — and this 2018 UC Berkeley brain scan proves it.

After just eight weeks of consistent gratitude practice, participants showed stronger brain structure in regions tied to social cognition and empathy (prefrontal cortex and related networks).

Science nugget:

fMRI research from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley (2018) demonstrated that gratitude interventions increase gray matter density and functional connectivity in areas responsible for understanding others’ perspectives, processing emotions, and building stronger social bonds — measurable changes that appear after only 8 weeks of daily practice.

The image shows a heat-map overlay of brain activity and structure differences between grateful practitioners and controls — warmer colors indicate enhanced regions.

In a world full of stress and division, a simple daily habit can make your brain better at connection and compassion.

What’s one thing you’re grateful for right now?

In life I don’t think there are many straight lines. So pick a focal point and get there.

Call to action: Trump's Dep't of Education is about to exclude naturopathic doctors from the definition of professional degree. If that occurs, it will greatly limit these more natural minded doctors from getting loans to enter the profession. Please add your voice - complete the form in the link below (@aanp @naturopathnews)

Every dollar I paid toward student loans this year went to interest. My loan did not go down at all. I’m not asking for loan forgiveness but that is robbery.

Bennedict Mathurin put on a show in his first home game with the Clippers 🔥

38 PTS (ties career-high)
5 REB
4 AST
3 STL

He surpassed Paul George (37 PTS on Nov. 16, 2019) for the most points by a player in a Clippers home debut!

Too many people confuse brashness for manliness. That's more a characteristic of boyhood than manhood.

Kawhi Leonard… cold-blooded.

Powerful: Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp spoke about devoting his life to Jesus Christ.

“My journey has had a lots of ups and downs. I’ve been lonely and hearing doubts, lies. Truly wouldn’t be here without faith.”

A true role model on and off the field ❤️🙏

[Del Bigtree @delbigtree]

Listen to what @BretWeinstein is saying here. It’s one of the most gut-punch breakdowns I’ve heard about why the people inside these broken institutions can look at devastating evidence of harm to children… and still choose silence.

He calls himself a “de facto atheist,” and yet he sees something most people refuse to admit:

When you don’t believe in anything bigger than yourself, it becomes far too easy to make peace with evil.

How do you ignore when studies show severe harm to kids? How do you watch the vaccine program keep rolling when the data screams danger?

You tell yourself the same lie they all tell themselves:
“It won’t make a difference anyway.”
“The system is too corrupt.”
“If I speak up, I’ll be destroyed.”
“No one’s going to listen. The government won’t act. Institutions are untouchable.”

That’s the utilitarian calculus they run: “The greater good is keeping the machine running, even if it crushes a generation of children.” And once you accept that logic, you can justify literally anything...slavery, genocide, medical experiments on kids. History proves it.

Here’s the part that hits hardest:

Faith in a higher power is not gameable.
You can lie to yourself. You can lie to your colleagues. You can lie to the public. But you cannot lie to God. You cannot convince an all-knowing Judge that “it wouldn’t have mattered anyway” or “I had to protect my career.”

That internal moral compass - knowing someone is listening to your thoughts - keeps you from crossing lines that pure utilitarianism happily sprints across.

Brett nails it: Science displaced faith in the modern world, but we never replaced what faith actually did, especially when it comes to the heavy moral lifting...

This is why the cover-up continues. Because too many of them have no fear of anything higher than a paycheck, a title, or peer approval.

We are in a spiritual crisis masquerading as a scientific one.

Watch Brett lay this out below 👇—it’s raw, it’s real, and it explains exactly why we can’t wait for the system to fix itself.

Share this far and wide. Our kids deserve adults who still believe some things are more important than self-preservation.

I'm a well-known LeBron stan, but LeBron over Kawhi for an All-Star slot is a flat out farce. If you want to get LeBron into the game through injury replacement or special commissioner selection, fine, but Kawhi has been significantly better than him this year.
