Nepal’s Elections Pit Gen Z Activists Against the Old Guard Last year’s uprising ousted a government, torched public buildings and left dozens of people dead. For many, the wounds are still fresh.

Now, on the eve of that pivotal vote, the country is still processing the trauma—and asking if any of the options truly offer a path forward.

CNN: State Dept urges US citizens to "DEPART NOW" from countries throughout Middle East

Two days into the war:

- three F-15s shot down

- U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames

- six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded

- State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

'Evangelical' Has Lost Its Meaning A term that once described a vital tradition within the Christian faith now means something else entirely.

40% of those who identify as US evangelicals don’t even go to church, and nearly half of all those who call themselves Christians in the US don’t go either. So how are people being catechized? Most likely, by their favorite news sources.

For many in the US today, their beliefs are written first by their politics and only a distance second by their faith; and if the two conflict, they’ll go with ideology over theology any day.

Leaders like Leo help us see the difference: and I’m pretty sure they would call Jesus even worse things.

Sirens blaring at the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan.

Are they bringing back “police action”… ?

US Allies from Europe and Asia served and died in Afghanistan and Iraq. It was NATO who sent AWACS to fly over US skies after 9/11 when we were completely shut down. This is a time for serious people.

Contempt. Literally.

Contempt for other countries, contempt for the idea of an international community, contempt for UNSC's mission of preventing breaches of international peace.

Utter contempt.
