In July 1893, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams became the first surgeon to successfully operate on the human heart. The amazing procedure is rivaled by a surgery performed on a US president—in the saloon of a boat—just nine days earlier.
By forcing a $15 minimum wage on a conservative state like Texas, the federal government would be forcing Texans to live like Californians.

Why No State Needs Thousands of Nuclear Warheads
Last week, the United States signed a five-year extension of the New START arms control treaty with Russia. Russia’s President Putin signed the treaty shortly thereafter. The “Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty” allows Russia and the US to monitor each other’s nuclear forces, facilities, and activities. The idea is to keep track of the relative strength of the two regimes' respective arsenals and to encourage reductions. The treaty also caps the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads at 1,550 each. (The total stockpiles for the US and Russia are 4,700 and 4,300, respectively.)

Troop Deployments in Washington Are a Disaster Waiting to Happen
The military occupation of Washington was prompted by the January 6 clashes at the Capitol between Trump supporters and law enforcement, in which three people (including one Capitol policeman) died as a result of the violence. Roughly eight hundred protestors and others unlawfully entered the Capitol, though many of them entered nonviolently through open doors and most left without incident hours later. The federal government responded by deploying twenty-five thousand National Guard troops to prevent problems during President Joe Biden’s swearing-in—the first inauguration since 1865 featuring the capital city packed with armed soldiers. Protests were almost completely banned in Washington for the inauguration. Instead of ending after the muted inauguration celebration, the troop deployment was extended for the Senate impeachment trial.
One reality that the unprecedented Reddit/GameStop short squeeze alerted more people to is the major disconnect between the ballooning stock market and the actual economy. A stock market bubble is a significant indicator of the boom phase of the boom-bust economic cycle that we have grown accustomed to over the past several decades. Many, mostly on the left, blame free market capitalism for economic cycles, however, boom-and-bust cycles are not an inherent feature of a market economy. Austrian school economists have for a century convincingly argued that business cycles are a result of monetary distortions in the economy created by artificial, or fiat, money creation and the false credit expansion that results from it.

Media/News Company: "A journal of orthodox theology in the Anglican tradition"
Drew Keane: “Dearly beloved” is one of the most well-known phrases from the Prayer Book. Virtually anyone who hears it (regardless of religious affiliation), thinks of weddings. But this form of address is not unique to the marriage liturgy: the phrase (or variations of it) is found all over the Prayer Book. It is the principal formula for ministerial address of the congregation, and although closely associated with the Prayer Book it did not in fact originate with it. Like much of the language of the Prayer Book, it derives from scripture and has a rich theological significance.
