For to this you have been called...

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. -1 Peter 2:21-24

America: The Real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: VD  Hanson America has repeatedly been declared a dying empire, yet every rival—from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union to China—has ultimately fallen short of US power and resilience.n/

‘Emergency In The Church’: Catholic Leaders Decry Vatican Report That Pushes Homosexuality   While originally tasked with examining issues considered to be “controversial” within the church, the group apparently decided on its own to switch “paradigms” by framing these issues as “emerging.” That move, explained early on in the report, set the stage for suggesting a shift from sound Catholic doctrine about marriage and sexuality to what canon lawyer and pastor Father Gerald Murray called a “full-fledged endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle.”
   The authors of the jargon-infused report employed the linguistic tactics so common among those attempting to lead people to question their closely held beliefs.

The Long Dark Shadow Cast by October 7th...A massacre streamed live to an approving international audience  The long dark shadow cast by October 7th will not recede. It will follow the perpetrators, but also those who celebrated them, rationalized them, apologized on behalf of them, or hid their crimes beneath the language of politics. Those who supported these atrocities, or apologized on behalf of their monstrous perpetrators, can never walk back what they chose to excuse. That choice will remain a stain on their very souls – an indelible mark of Cain.
   Somehow, the entire world has been drawn into the dark vortex of October 7, unable to escape its moral gravity.

Left’s election fraud denials crumble as DOJ exposes two-decade-long California cheating scheme  Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.” But the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud from noncitizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion.

Virginia Officers Suspended After Reporting ‘Trans’ Recruit in Female Locker Room Two police officers in Virginia, one male and one female, were understandably extremely uncomfortable after a biological male wearing makeup kept invading the women’s locker room. Their superiors first told the female officer to take a gun with her into the shower area, and then suspended both her and her male colleague for being "bigots."

Transgender Indian migrant without work visa who got elected to Scottish Parliament wants locals to pay reparations to Palestinians   The trans Indian was allowed to run for office based on a recent rule change that lets foreigners on short-term visas run for office (why even pretend to have a country anymore?).

Seattle: Dem who welcomed socialist mayor's 'change' now sounding alarm over billionaire exodus: 'Gravely concerned'   Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city, saying, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are super overblown," and adding, "the ones that leave? Like, bye."

The Nigerian government has responded to decades of this violence with promises, investigations, military deployments which arrive after one massacre and leave before the next, and periodic statements expressing concern. The pattern is identical in village after village. Militants arrive at night. They know the community is unarmed. They kill men, women and children. They burn homes and churches. They steal cattle and land. The army shows up days later. Nothing changes. The militants move on to the next village.

When doctors spend more time serving systems than serving patients, medicine changes. When physicians are afraid to speak honestly, medicine changes. When throughput quietly shapes bedside decisions, medicine changes. When documentation matters more than human presence, medicine changes. And when physicians slowly begin feeling emotionally trapped inside giant institutional systems that they no longer control, we should probably stop calling that burnout because burnout does not adequately describe what many doctors now feel. It feels more like captivity.
