Trolling Trump and rejecting him with a pointed message of what a peacemaker really looks like is not beneath the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, as they release the emotional phone call made to the true winner, Maria Corina Machado, the exiled opposition leader…

This was such a rich conversation. If you’re confused by Christian Nationalism, Anthony and I pretty much covered it all, especially how Christianity differs from Christian Nationalism, and what is the goal.

England is now experiencing a significant COVID wave, after 10 months of relative quiet.

"If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly COVID, given that the number of people admitted to hospital for COVID last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!"

The chart shows weekly hospital COVID admissions per 100,000 population in the UK from May 2023 to September 29, 2025, based on UKHSA data.

Autumn 2023 peak reached around 6 per 100k.

Winter JN.1 peak followed early 2024 (~5 per 100k).

Several 2024 peaks occurred mid-year before dropping.

A 10-month stretch of low, stable levels lasted through late 2024 to mid-2025.

A new Sept 2025 wave shows a sharp upward climb approaching prior peak levels.
