A man passed away. As he crossed the threshold into eternity, he saw God walking toward him, carrying a single suitcase. God spoke softly: "Son, it is time to go." Stunned, the man asked, "Already? So soon? I had so many plans... so much left to do." "I am sorry," God replied, "but it is time for your departure." And so, they began to walk together. Curiosity eventually got the best of the man, and he asked, "What are You carrying in that suitcase?" God answered, "Everything that belongs to you." "Everything that belongs to me?" the man repeated. "So... my clothes, my money, my possessions are in there?" God shook His head. "Those things never belonged to you. They belonged to the world." "Then... my memories?" the man asked. "No. They belonged to time." "My talents, then?" "They were never yours. They belonged to the circumstances of your life." "What about my friends? My family?" "I am sorry," God said, "but they were never yours to keep. They were your companions on the journey." "…More
From Marshall Joyner : "Doctors tried to bully my parents into aborting me three times. They said my intestines were out of my body - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. They said my legs and feet were deformed and not worth the mothers risk - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. They said I had Trisomy 18 and wouldn't live outside of the womb - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. Daddy said he didn't believe them, he said their evidence was pathetic. My mom agreed,they went against the will of the top doctors of their field. I was born a month early I'm in the 95+% for everything, my hands and feet are perfect, I don't have an extra 18th chromosome, I'm nearly 7months old - and I'm fine! My name is Olivia-Jax, not fetus, not blob of tissue. I'm a little girl that my mom and dad didn't give up on - and I am fine!"

In the summer of 1821, a frustrated mathematician named Charles Babbage sat in a London study, surrounded by stacks of astronomical tables. Page after page, he found mistakes — small numerical errors that ships' captains relied on to navigate the world's oceans. A single wrong digit could send a vessel onto rocks. Lives depended on numbers calculated by tired humans, copied by hand, set by typesetters, and printed under candlelight. Exhausted, Babbage slammed the book shut and exclaimed: "I wish to God these calculations had been executed by steam." His friend John Herschel looked up and said quietly: "It is quite possible." That single moment lit a fire that would burn for the rest of Babbage's life. He went home and began designing something the world had never seen — a colossal mechanical brain. A machine made entirely of brass, bronze, and cast iron, with thousands of interlocking gears, wheels, and levers, that could calculate complex mathematical tables without a single error. He …More

Canada is MURDERING people. A January 2026 report by the Ontario Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) highlighted a case where a Canadian woman in her 80s, referred to as Mrs. B, was euthanized despite expressing a desire to live and withdrawing her consent. She requested palliative care instead of euthanasia, but this was denied before her death.

It's Science Japan developed a pill that reverses osteoporosis and rebuilds bone density. Osteoporosis weakens bones until they fracture from minor impact—it's silent until your hip breaks. Japanese researchers developed a pill that activates bone-forming cells and reverses the mineral loss. Bone density increases, even in advanced osteoporosis. Bones become strong again. The osteoporosis industry profits from the disease continuing indefinitely. Patients take bone-density medications for decades without reversal. A pill that actually rebuilds bones would end this recurring revenue. So Japanese breakthrough is caught in regulatory limbo while elderly patients break hips and spines. Picture the elderly person no longer fearing falls. Picture bones that can support an active life into your 90s. Picture fractures prevented. Japanese medicine has this pill. The pharmaceutical system is preventing it because osteoporosis medications are too profitable to cure. How many more hip fractures …More

Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
