“Today, trucks will roll, cars will cross, and governments will begin collecting tolls. But the bridge will remain a monument to a broken bond that may take decades to fix—and may never be fully repaired.” Well worth reading @davidmoscrop.com’s excellent piece.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

It was a long-held belief that the only place for officers to learn their profession was on board a warship at sea. That belief was challenged in the early 1800s, but establishing an academy would take decades. https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history/2026/august/road-annapolis

This is pretty stunning. Let me translate: A federal judge does not trust the acting AG is telling the truth—before the court, to be clear—about specific redactions, and ordered him to bring proof. Just a staggering taint on DoJ.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

It’s heartwarming that Emmett Till is honored in Chicago, but we must acknowledge that the racism in Mississippi which led to his murder thrives, as people there symbolically lynch him on a regular basis by vandalizing a sign marking where his body was recovered We still have so much work to do

Governor JB Pritzker

Emmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.
