Sunday/Beyond Definition



Earlier this year, the Biden administration announced new rules that make it far more difficult for charter operators to receive funding from the Charter Schools Program.

SBF came in as the sixth-largest donor overall in this midterm cycle, and the second-largest donor to Democrats. Only George Soros gave more. SBF dumped close to $40 million into political-action committees, outside groups and individuals.

Individuals associated with FTX and its affiliates contributed some $70 million this cycle. They include executives Ryan Salame (at $20 million, the 14th-largest donor this cycle) and Nishad Singh ($8 million, 31st-largest). Given that both received sizable loans from Alameda, it’s possible all the FTX political donations are criminally tainted.

Censorship is the default position of Progressives not because they think their position can not withstand scrutiny but because they think their opponents are wicked or stupid.

Sunday/Beyond Definition

In the gospel last week, John, from prison, sends some followers to Christ to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?'

John was not sure. And the evangelists were not afraid to record his uncertainty.

This week the evangelist, recording Christ's birth years before John's ambivalence, is quite sure. As is Paul in his epistle. Neither is describing a great man or an insightful philosopher. They are describing whom they believe is the Son of God, the fulfillment of very specific prophesies in the Old Testament.

When Joseph is uncertain about Mary, he is visited by an angel who says to him,, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit.'

'Conceived what is in her.' 'T
he one who is to come.'

Beyond words.
