Is “Side B” Christianity Biblical?
The Bible commands us to “take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness,” which, in context, include sexual immorality. And one of those “creative” methods for skirting biblical teaching is what’s known as “Side B Christianity, which may at first glance seem compassionate and just another way to encourage sinners to “come as you are,” but remember that Jesus invites all to come as they are—but he never calls them to stay as they are.

12 Facts That Prove That Our Society Is Causing Boys To Fall Way Behind Girls From A Very Early Age
Does our society treat boys like malfunctioning girls?  In this article, I am going to show you a whole bunch of numbers which prove that our boys have fallen behind our girls in many different areas.  From a very early age, our society tends to reward feminine characteristics and it tends to suppress masculine characteristics.  Little boys just don’t like to sit still and pay attention for long stretches of time.  They are designed to be hunters and explorers and adventurers.  But our schools are not designed for hunters and explorers and adventurers.  As a result, boys tend to have disciplinary problems more often than girls, and girls tend to get higher grades than boys.

As The Sun Goes Nuts, Unusual Natural Disasters Are Occurring All Over The Globe
Why is the mainstream media in the United States being so quiet about what is happening on the Sun?  The giant ball of fire that we revolve around makes life on this planet possible, and it has started to behave very erratically.  This should definitely be getting a lot more attention, because the link between solar activity and seismic activity has been well established by now.  Some scientists still try to dispute this, but the truth is that when the Sun becomes more active we tend to see more large earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions.  And of course if a large enough solar storm erupts, it could fry our power grids and throw our entire society into a massive state of chaos.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned the US against assassinating President Ahmed al-Sharaa before the new Syrian leader met with President Donald Trump, a US senator said on Thursday.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Jim Comey, former FBI Director wrote on Instagram about the message “86 47” laid out in seashells on the sand that he came across, innocently. You’d have to ask yourself: what was “cool” about that, exactly? Especially if, as Mr. Comey claimed on X soon after, that he didn’t know what it meant. Are things that you don’t understand “cool”? Maybe he was surprised to learn that people other than Jim Comey fans might see his cute coded clip and conclude that it wasn’t such an innocent little gag.

What is China’s population, and why does it matter?
In recent months, Lei’s Real Talk has been publishing a series of videos explaining her investigation into how many people actually live in China – it is nowhere near 1.4 billion and never has been. Below, we have republished a summary of Lei’s Real Talk’s findings as submitted on Reddit. Why would China exaggerate their population statistics?

The World Is Heading Toward Economic Captivity, And Through A Biblical Lens, This Is No Small Development
Two months ago, the United States Senate Banking Committee introduced what may prove to be a historic—and ominous—piece of legislation: the GENIUS Act. Framed as a long-overdue measure to establish a legal framework for stablecoins, this bill was in fact far more significant.
