JERUSALEM (AP) — Every year, Alon Gat's mother led the family's Passover celebration of the liberation of the ancient Israelites from Egypt thousands of years ago. But this year, Gat is struggling with how to reconcile a holiday commemorating freedom after his mother was slain and other family members abducted when Hamas attacked Israel.
Close observers of Eastern Orthodox Christianity were not surprised when the recent World Russian People's Council bluntly rejected 'abortion propaganda,' efforts to promote LGBTQ+ rights and this age of 'sexual licentiousness and debauchery.'
Anew poll by Axios and Noticias Telemundo finds that 42% of Latino Americans support building a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. When pollsters asked the same question in December 2021, the number was 30%. That's a significant increase as the border crisis created by President Joe Biden's policies worsens. It's also a more severe action than virtually anyone is now proposing. The border is about 2,000 miles long, but some of that is physically impassable and does not need a wall. Former President Donald Trump proposed building a wall on about 1,000 miles. That was enough for many Democrats to unite in hysterical opposition. Now, the Latino voters polled say they would like to see a wall or fence along the entire 2,000-mile border.
Dear Doctors: Can you please talk about the idea that the order in which you eat your food has an effect on your blood sugar? I have a friend who never eats sweets unless she can also have some vegetables and protein. Does this really matter?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I’m a 30-year-old woman who’s fallen hard for a man I feel doesn’t truly love me. I’ve been with my partner for five years now, and while I love him dearly, I can’t shake the feeling that he doesn’t appreciate everything I do for us as a couple. I find myself going above and beyond to make our relationship work — from planning special dates to taking care of household chores and everything in between. However, it seems like my efforts often go unnoticed or unacknowledged. He rarely expresses gratitude for the things I do, and it’s starting to take a toll on me emotionally. I’ve tried to communicate my feelings to him, but he either dismisses them or fails to understand why I’m upset. I don’t want to sound needy or demanding, but I long for some recognition and appreciation for the contributions I make to our relationship.
We may not be looking forward to the November election — the polls tell us that — but this is not a country that likes to look back. Yet at this fraught moment, it might be salubrious to look back — back, back, back, as the sportscaster Chris Berman might put it, to the 41st president and to the life lessons he would have taught us as a nation, if only we had listened.
• Did you know root vegetables are among the most sustainable vegetables you should incorporate into your diet? A study by the Journal of Cleaner Production found carrots, potatoes and onions to be among the lowest greenhouse gas-emitting crops of all fruits and vegetables. In addition to the health benefits, root vegetables also last a long time, which makes them less prone to food spoilage and waste.
DEAR HARRIETTE: This week, I invited one of my friends over to my apartment to have dinner. We were having a great time. As the night came to an end and she was walking out, I spotted a ring on her finger that looked familiar. I told her that I have a ring that looks just like that, and I asked if I could see it up close. I had accidentally gotten a black dot of ink on it one time, and sure enough, the ink was on the ring she was wearing. I told her that this is my ring, and she silently took it off and walked out the door. We haven't spoken in a week, and I don't know if I ever want to again.
When Tom Stafford was a young boy growing up in Weatherford, Okla., I’m sure he had no idea the immense impact he eventually would have on space exploration and on the dreams and ambitions of millions of Americans.
