A total solar eclipse will happen on April 8. Two counties in Texas have issued a disaster declaration as officials prepare for the influx of people expected to come and observe the event. On Friday, Travis County (Austin) took what is described as a drastic measure in preparation for the crowds of stargazers coming to […]
Note: I am taking a few days off, so I hope you will enjoy this 2018 reflection on the same readings. This morning’s Gospel reading is John 3:14–21: Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who […]
President Joe Biden created a stir after his SOTU address when he was caught on a hot mic telling some members of Congress that he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they need to have a “come to Jesus” moment over the war in Gaza. On Friday, Biden seemed angry when reporters attempted […]
Pope Francis has been largely silent on the issue of the war in Ukraine aside from urging peace in the region, along with the rest of the world. That changed last month during a little-noticed interview he did with a Swiss broadcaster. The Pontiff told the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (RSI) that Ukraine should have “the […]
Since Israel entered Gaza in response to the 10/7 attack by Hamas, the Gaza Ministry of Health has been putting out casualty numbers.

The lead singer for heavy metal band Disturbed delivered an anti-Hamas rant during a performance at the end of February. Since then it is as though the flood gates have opened.

Despite ongoing internal reviews and safety investigations, Boeing can’t seem to break its streak of bad luck when it comes to the company’s troubled 737 Max line of aircraft.

The wife of Ryan Corbett was the guest of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) for the State of the Union address Thursday night. The Taliban are detaining Corbett in Afghanistan. President Biden did not mention Afghanistan in his speech. That isn’t particularly surprising, given the disastrous withdrawal of the American military from that country. Joe Biden […]
Was Taylor Swift at the State of the Union speech and I just didn’t notice? We’ve probably already spent too much time dissecting Joe Biden’s rendition of “Angry Old Man Yells at Clouds,” but the reality is that there were a lot of people watching that speech.
