LEFT-CENTER BIAS
A diver whose work saved Winchester Cathedral more than a century ago has been remembered at a commemoration service 100 years after his death. William Walker carried out repairs on the foundations of the cathedral to stop it from sinking into the ground. He had to descend into the murky water of 235 pits, each about 6m (20ft) deep, to dig out rotten foundations and shore up the walls with concrete. Mr Walker worked from 1906 until 1911, spending nearly six hours a day underwater, in darkness, working with his bare hands and entirely by touch. Eventually he propped the cathedral up with 900,000 bricks, 114,900 concrete blocks and 25,800 bags of cement. Known as 'Diver Bill', Mr Walker died aged 49 during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918.

Media/News Company in Washington, D. C.Trump Takes Kavanaugh Victory Lap During Topeka MAGA Rally
A jubilant President Donald Trump joined a packed house of supporters in Topeka’s Kansas Expo Center Saturday evening to celebrate the Senate’s 50-48 vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh as the newest associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. “This is a truly historic night. I stand before you on the heels of a tremendous victory for our nation, our people and our beloved constitution,” the president said in his opening remarks, noting that Kavanaugh had been sworn in and is now officially Justice Brett Kavanaugh. "The Democrats have become too dangerous to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law, not the rule of the mob.”
Victory! Senate Approves Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court
Eighty-nine long days elapsed from the July 9 moment of President Donald Trump’s announcement of his nomination to the moment Saturday when the Senate voted 50-48 to confirm him. Judge Brett Kavanaugh will now become the newest associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, as soon as he is sworn in. Kavanaugh will actually take two oaths. The first will be administered by a current member of the court, with the second public and ceremonial swearing in also done by a justice, but with Trump to deliver congratulatory remarks. The latter reportedly will happen Monday or Tuesday.

Organization in Moscow, Russia
The Holy Synod of the Church of Antioch finished its latest session today, and has released a statement in regard to the ongoing crisis situation in Ukraine caused by the Ecumenical Patriarchate's unilateral incursrion into the canonical territory of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with the intent of unilaterally granting autocephaly to Ukrainian schismatics. His Beatitude Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East has previously expressed his support for the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Moscow Patriarchate. After meeting with the Patriarch in June, Russian State Deputy Dmitry Sablin reported that, “The Patriarch noted that the Antiochian Church stands together with the Russian Church, speaking against the Church schism in Ukraine.”
The old maxim that “history is written by the victors” always puts us on our guard when trying to make sense of the past in order to make sense of the present. But this maxim only serves to further smudge the edges of real history, because history is not how modern people see the past, but how the people of a given time period saw themselves and those around them. This is especially important to remember in the current age of lightning-fast information exchange, with its unprecedented potential for an ongoing revision of history. As seekers of truth, Christians have to make every effort to understand history with all its nuances and hard facts, so that we might think twice or thrice before joining whatever ill-conceived crusade may be afoot at a given time.
