In the news. . . By Solcyré Burga July 15, 2022 7:29 PM EDT The case of a 10-year-old girl who had to travel from her home in Ohio to Indiana to receive an abortion after being raped has become national news—and a major political issue following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The […]
Finish the Story
As we have been saying for quite awhile now, we are not living in ordinary times. In fact, they’re quite tumultuous. Dangerously so. As a nation (a civilization even), we are at an historical inflection point. One can feel it. The upcoming election (if it proceeds) will be one for “all the marbles.” No two […]
The Light of the World
An Orthodox Kurdish priest (our own Father Madai) baptizes a Yazidi. May the Lord bless Father Madai’s ministry and this newly-enlightened man! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1280217009634609
Would I Lie to You, Baby? Nope.
Movie: The Greatest Show on Earth 2 You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that things are dangerously out of whack. Very little of what we see makes any sense. It’s like we’ve reached maximum chaos. Honestly, if anybody can shed some light on who is actually running the country, I’m all […]
The Agent of Change
I have been thinking a lot about politics these days. (And religion, culture, the future, etc.) Who hasn’t? Don’t blame yourself. You ever heard of the October Surprise? That’s a political trick that one party plays usually on the Thursday right before the election. They do that for maximum impact. Sometimes it works, sometimes it […]

The Blood of Christians Is the Seed of the Church
Just when things can’t get any bad for the Orthodox Christians in Ukraine, the Rada finally did what they promised to do: outlaw the canonical Orthodox Church. You can read this late-breaking story from our friends at Helleniscope here: https://www.helleniscope.com/2024/08/20/democracy-of-ukraine-bans-uoc-the-church-followed-by-70-of-orthodox-ukranians/ So much for “religious freedom.” It’s a sad story, not only because Ukrainian Christians are […]
More About the Shooter
by Gail Sheppard Remember when I said they got “THE WRONG GUY” with the shooter? I actually found the collage of pictures I put on this site on other browsers. Well, there is more to the story. Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Body Was ‘Gone’ When Rep. Tried to Examine: Report The body of the 20-year-old who […]
Yeah, it’s Because He’s a Jew
Back in 1964, the Republican Party nominated one of the most articulate conservatives of all time. Sen Barry Goldwater of Arizona, was a man of tremendous integrity and principle. He was for all practical purposes the godfather of the modern conservative movement. At 6 feet, he was every inch the frontier cowboy. He had the […]
In Case You Were Wondering, the Answer Is “No”
The answer is to this question: “Will the GOA leadership ever learn to stop being so cringy”? No. The answer is no. They never will. At least not in most people’s lifetimes. <—This won’t end well. Just ask the Piskies. What am I talking about exactly? Only this: Archbishop Elpidophoros of the GOA, the “Exarch […]
