My swath of cheery flowers brings joy to our home, plus is a boon for wildlife. Here’s what I’ve learned, and what I’d do differently next time.A few years ago, the view from my window was a bleak, dusty expanse. Now, there are fledgling sparrows romping in a wildflower meadow, where impossibly purple flax sways in the breeze alongside native grasses and splashes of orange poppies.And every year brings a surprising highlight. Once it was a blanket of delicate white baby’s breath. The next, tall evening primroses took over, with goldfinches resting in their towering spires of yellow flowers. The...

Daily Readings from the USCCBA young man approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:16–17We all desire eternal life in Heaven. But do we also desire perfection while here on earth? And if so, are we truly resolved to do what it takes to attain it, or are we content with simply being pretty good? This is where the rich young man in today’s...

When concerned McKinney, Texas, residents showed up in droves for a recent town council meeting where city leaders were considering the proposed expansion plan for the Islamic Association of McKinney, Republican Rep. Keith Self (TX-03) – who represents the area in Congress – was right there alongside his fellow outraged citizens. As RedState previously reported, so many McKinney residents showed up at the August 4 meeting to voice their outrage that they overflowed out into the hallway and the start of the meeting was delayed by 30 minutes so all of the speakers could get registered. They were amped up...

Rep Nancy Mace says the only way to stop the Islamic Takeover of America is to do 2 things. She’s calling to: - Mass deport Muslims from America - An outright ban on all Islamic immigration “The only way to fix this mess is for the immediate mass deportations of all these people and to shut down the border to all Islamic countries before the motherland is the only land left. It's time to choose freedom or choose Islam, and I'm gonna choose America first or America is finished” “The left didn't just let asylum seekers in. They invited radical...

Panettiere is remembered for roles on "Heroes" and "Nashville," among others. Actress Hayden Panettiere has died, her representative confirmed to ABC News. She was 36 years old. "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her -- and to the millions who watched her onscreen," her father, Skip Panettiere, said in a statement. Her father asked for privacy "as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss."

Outgoing firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace used her new YouTube talk show to debut spicy tattoos on both arms — as she went sleeveless in public for the first time in months. Mace (R-SC) broke out her inked-up gun show while promoting “Get Maced,” a program where she will apparently address news of the day. The 48-year-old South Carolina Republican revealed in February that she got several tattoos, which provided her “the pain that I need to feel.” However, she had kept them almost entirely covered up in public until she took to social media late last week to tease her...

WASHINGTON — Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was dodgy Sunday about whether he backs the lefty Medicare for All plan — and if Democratic Socialists of America even belong in the party. Backlash was immediate and fierce. “This man is so out of touch with his party. How is he their leader??” grumbled Mehdi Hasan, founder of the progressive outlet Zeteo, of the New York rep, on social media. Jeffries was confronted on the multitrillion-dollar Medicare for All proposal while appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I haven’t cosponsored the Medicare for All legislation that has been introduced over...

A new UNICEF survey shows that not only isn’t there a famine in Gaza, but the Hamas settlers of the terrorist enclave are some of the best fed in the Middle East. The UNICEF-led survey rated ‘acute malnutrition’ among children under 5 years old in the Gaza Strip as being at 0.5%. As UN Watch noted, this compares to World Bank data showing a rate of 0.4% in the UK, 0.5% in Germany, 1.6% in Finland and 3.3% in Egypt. Gaza Famine? Not according to UNICEF. A new survey shows Gaza has one of the lowest acute child malnutrition rates...

This year has seen a dramatic change in tone in the global conversation about the transatlantic slave trade. The demand for formal apologies, debt relief and financial compensation from nations and institutions that benefited from slavery has become increasingly forceful. In March, a resolution was passed at the United Nations recognising slavery as "the greatest crime against humanity" - though the United States voted against the resolution and every European nation abstained from the vote. The UK, which alongside Portugal dominated the transatlantic slave trade, has consistently rejected the idea of paying reparations, which is perhaps unsurprising given estimates of...

Written in ancient Greek poet Homer's "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad," the legends of the Trojan War and the lost city of Troy were believed to be nothing more than myth for centuries.

In this full episode of The Legend of Troy: Epic Rise and Fall from National Geographic, explore ancient civilization and early archaeology in episode one, "The Schliemann Legacy."

There’s too little sex and violence in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey. And it matters. There’s too little religion and supernaturalism, too. That the anodyne Epicureanism of Nolan’s Odyssey is widely construed as Nolan “Christianizing” Homer’s story is testimony to the insipidity of much of what passes today for Christianity. We’ll start with sex and violence, and then get to religion. First, though, a preliminary comment on film adaptations of books: Screen adaptations of books must necessarily alter the story. Even a three-hour movie cannot reproduce an epic poem the length of Homer’s Odyssey. But the necessity of change does not grant...
