On his last day of the ski season, on the last day before his final competition, on the last run at Kirkwood, Alexander the Great broke his right tibia. The lower part of the leg was broken cleanly, he felt no pain, and he joked with attending Ski Patrol, doctors, and nurses. Three months of recuperation will not interrupt our weekly lessons.

A man who had not been to church for years made his confession. How did I know? He asked, and I pointed to the lineup. The line is sometimes so long that confessions will last through to the end of Mass. The decline in Pelosi's assets has adjusted her standing among the wealthiest members of Congress.

The Friendliest Town on The Loneliest Road Reuters Headline SpaceX's private Fram2 crew returns to Earth after polar-orbiting mission by Joey Roulette April 4, 2025 11:01 AM PDT Fram2 is a private human spaceflight mission operated by SpaceX with a Crew Dragon spacecraft commanded by entrepreneur Chun Wang. Wang and his all-civilian crew — Jannicke Mikkelsen, Rabea Rogge, and Eric Philips — were launched into a polar orbit. The mission was the first human spaceflight for Mission Commander Chun Wang, Vehicle Commander Jannicke Mikkelsen, Vehicle Pilot Rabea Rogge, and Mission Specialist and Medical Officer Eric Philips, as reported by Fox 35, Orlando.

ANI reported the truth. The US is on the ground. DOGE savings will pay for materials, logistics, and paying jobs.

Description: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing the Indiana Department of Corrections on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellioné, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001. (Indiana Department of Corrections/Getty Images) "The case, now in its second year, involves the inmate's request for sex reassignment surgery. The ACLU first filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections in 2023 on behalf of this person, challenging an Indiana law that prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer funds to cover sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. The ACLU argues the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of 'cruel and unusual punishment.'"

 Father Pierre De Smet, mentioned in U.S. history books almost as a footnote, was in mid-19th century America the person the American Indians trusted most. He was "more powerful than an army" at a huge treaty conference of U.S. officials and the Western Indian nations near Laramie, WY, in 1851, and he was the chief negotiator at another, with the Sioux, in 1868. -Tan Books The Jesuits were my educators long ago.

An estimated 675,000 Americans died. From the videographer- I am in a very small and unique village of Yunnan Province called "Cizhong". It is one of the very few places where Tibetans are Christians and not Buddhists. This place has an old and special history that dates back to the Qing Dynasty [1644-1911] when the French sent missionaries to Yunnan to convert the Tibetans. Back then, they weren't successful at all, but the small pox pandemic came and Christians had access to the vaccines provided by the French missionaries. Eventually, this turned Buddhists into Christians who remain until today. [slight editing]
