THE WORLD is a chaotic place: Wars, rumors of war, and a ruling class that is deliberately keeping the rest of us stirred up and angry at each other.
Adding to the confusion was a major outage of AT&T’s cellphone network Thursday and a cyberattack on a major health tech company that took North America’s largest prescription processor offline—a reminder of just how much we depend on technology and electricity to keep us alive.
Also: The strangely coincidental death of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny; Zelensky cancels presidential election in Ukraine; FCC to compel broadcasters to publish “scorecard” of DEI hires; and American students’ poor math skills become a national security threat.
At the end of the day, despite the chaos, we’re citizens of a kingdom with a King who has foreseen all of this and has prepared a place for us.
SOLIDARITY MISSION TO ISRAEL! We’re planning a one-week trip to Israel May 6–13, 2024 to bear witness to what’s happened there since the war with Hamas began.
