Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:




Christianity: The prayer of Senate chaplain Barry Black, at an invocation during the recent Senate impeachment meetings.

Environment: The Trump administration plans to weaken protections for migratory birds.


Health: The Centers for Disease Control has published statistics on the leading causes of death.

Politics: A Fox News host, who says he's a big fan of Mike Pompeo, criticized the Secretary of State for his behavior, in an interview with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly. "Don't be such a baby" said the Fox host. An NPR reporter has been banned from taking a trip with Pompeo. There's a post from NPR, indicating what that organization felt about this, and how President Trump reacted.

Christianity Today discusses the Trump peace plan for Israel, and gives reactions of Christian Arab leaders.

Relevant reports that Jerry Falwell, and the governor of West Virginia, have urged some Virginia counties to secede from that state, and join West Virginia. Really.

A web page showing what city, in each state, has declined the most on population, recently, with explanations in some cases.

Science: Gizmodo reports that scientists have implanted manmade devices into jellyfish, and thereby sped up their swimming speed.


The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.

Thanks for looking!
