Europe Needs to Get its Shit Together. NOW
If you spent any time in left-leaning American spaces just before Thanksgiving, you probably noticed the frustration simmering beneath the surface. On November 10th, a group of Senate Democrats unexpectedly broke ranks, joined Republicans, and voted to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. They gained nothing. They protected nothing. They surrendered after weeks of chest-thumping about holding firm. For Americans on the left, it felt like their leaders had folded a winning hand without even looking at the cards.

Twelve (12) Women Who Linked Ur to Nazareth and Shaped the Nation of Israel
Introduction to Women in the Ancestry and History of Ancient Israel While Matthew’s Gospel famously highlights five women in the genealogy of Jesus (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary), the wider biblical record introduces many more women connected to Israel’s unfolding story. Some are celebrated matriarchs; others appear only briefly. Yet each woman—whether prominent or obscure—stands as part of a long, complex lineage stretching from Ur of the Chaldeans to a humble Galilean village called Nazareth.

The Eternal Embrace Beneath the Earth
The earth has a strange way of holding memories. Some are scattered in fragments, others sealed deep beneath layers of time—waiting for the right hands to uncover them. In Taiwan, a team of archaeologists brushed away centuries of dust and silence to reveal a moment so tender, so profoundly human, that even the passage of 4,800 years could not erase its emotional power.

The Stillness in the Clouds: Echoes of Flight 247
The storm was an ancient one, a howling beast of wind and ice that had scoured the peaks of the Andean Cordillera for centuries. It was in the temporary lull of such a storm, in a high valley that saw no human eyes, that a helicopter from a geological survey team found it. Not a wreck, not in the conventional sense. It was a tomb, sealed in glass.
