Nothing can prepare you for losing a child. Our dear son Sam went home to Jesus yesterday after 8 months in the NICU. If you are a praying person, please pray for us.

Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?
The corruption of academia is an old story (see Betrayers of Truth, Wade, 1983), but collusion with government seems fairly new.
