Millions of Christians say they are above politics. Then they complain about the government. That contradiction needs to be named. A Christian does not have to worship politics. A Christian does not have to trust parties, candidates, media systems, or campaign machines. In fact, a wise Christian should be cautious with all of them. Politics can become an idol. Parties can corrupt the conscience. Power can seduce even good men. But withdrawal is not holiness.

Most Americans still imagine Greenland as a distant wasteland of ice and polar bears. That picture is outdated. Greenland now stands at the center of the most serious strategic contest on Earth. Whoever holds Greenland controls the northern hemisphere. The island sits directly on the shortest missile path between the United States, Russia, and China. That fact alone turns a remote Arctic landmass into a priceless military asset.

Modernity did not abolish worship. It moved the furniture. St. Boniface did not debate Thor into retirement. Around 723, near Geismar, he put an axe into Donar's Oak and waited. Willibald's Vita Bonifatii is the source. The crowd expected the god to answer. The tree came down. Timber from the shrine went into a chapel. The method is older than the saint: make the claimed god defend his own ground in public.

The largest measurable force behind the region's shorter lives is a habit and the policy environment that let it persist. Hi everyone. I was on YouTube as I am most days and I came across a video titled. Jordan Peeples', "I Exposed the Industry Killing the South," caught my attention. She's an economist, so I thought I'd share what I learned. Throughout the video, she points out that life expectancy in America increased in the second half of the 20th century. The gains did not reach all. In a National Bureau of Economic Research paper published in December 2025, Foote, Meara, Skinner and Stewart find that the life-expectancy gap between college-educated and non-college-educated adults increased from 2.6 years in 1992 to 6.3 years in 2019, and that mortality inequality at the county level increased by about 30 percent. College grads did well in nearly every category. But adults without a degree didn't, and location started to matter more.

Hello everyone. I want to return to an article from 2012 and update it for 2026. The piece I am writing now is based on Caron Beesley's 2012 overview of employee background checks. I am conducting this update for my public group, Ethics of Marijuana and Workplace Safety. Today is June 28, 2026. So let us go back in time to 2012, when Caron Beesley examined the growing use of Facebook searches, credit reports, and criminal records in hiring. The core questions she raised still stand. Employers still need reliable information.

Jon Walker, After Legalization: Understanding the Future of Marijuana Policy, FDL Writers Foundation, 2014. 194 pages. Paperback ISBN: 978-0-9912397-1-9. Jon Walker asked what marijuana policy might become after legalization. My upcoming book, High Stakes: How Legal Marijuana Reshaped the American Workplace, examines what legalization has already done inside the workplace.

A message to all, I want to call this the Mamdani Effect… I think we are dancing around the real issue. We keep playing a secular word game about taxation, natural law, common law, wealth, human rights, and democracy. But underneath all of it sits one question: Who gets power over your life? Because in the real world, power does not stay abstract. Power taxes. Power regulates. Power audits. Power censors. Power licenses. Power punishes. Power decides who gets rewarded and who gets squeezed. The bigger the government, the bigger the reach. And when government becomes the parent, the citizen slowly becomes the child.

The Split Nobody Is Naming On April 9, 2026, Donald Trump published a 482-word rant on Truth Social, calling Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones "losers," "nut jobs," and "stupid people." Their crime: opposing his war in Iran. Carlson had called Trump's threats against Iranian civilians "a war crime." Owens demanded Trump's removal via the 25th Amendment. Jones asked on air how to "25th Amendment his ass." Kelly called the war "folly" and the ceasefire "surrender." Every major outlet covered the political fallout. Almost nobody covered the theological one.

Is AI Still Lying to Us? Yes and No. Here Is How and Why. I asked four AI systems to fact-check the same article. One of them passed. One model inserted a real congressional vote into the wrong case file and presented it as part of the fact-check. The vote was real. The connection was fabricated. The tone was confident. That is the issue.

Something unprecedented is unfolding on the Temple Mount. We will break that down in a moment, along with a developing report that senior Hamas leaders may be preparing to flee Gaza and a serious warning Israel has just delivered to Turkey.
