Christianity: Reports on surveys about how much Americans read the Bible, here and here. Not very much, unfortunately.
Christianity Today reports on surveys of scientists, in many countries. Bottom line: many scientists do not believe in God, but most of these are not strongly anti-God.
Benjamin L. Corey argues that the so-called Prosperity Gospel isn't really Christian at all.
An article in Relevant asks "What would Jesus Post?"
Finance: (or something) Listverse tells us about 10 famous people who killed someone, but got off with small penalties.
Health: Relevant says that at least 300,000,000 people have malaria, and over 400,000 people died of it in a recent year. Malaria has not been conquered.
Home-based palliative care is much better for sick elderly people than hospitals, and cheaper, too, according to National Public Radio.
History: Listverse gives examples of nepotism by US Presidents (and, of course, their relatives). John Adams was the first, and Donald Trump probably won't be the last.
Humor: (Sort of. Not funny at all to some people) Wired tells us that Amazon will sell you a device that will assess the clothing you have on, and help you figure out what to wear. (And what to buy from Amazon, I guess.)
Politics: FiveThirtyEight says that a border wall won't stop drugs from coming into the US.
Sojourners says that the proposed border wall "would be a 2,200-mile-long monument to racism," and documents this claim. The article also says that it would be ineffective.
Science: Scientific American discusses shopping cart behavior -- leaving a shopping cart in a place other than the designated spot.
