By Abdul Masih – Daddy Yankee was at the height of his music career, having just injected “urban” flavor to the world record-busting Latin pop song “Despacito” – when he shocked his fan base by abruptly quitting to become a humble Christian. “It’s not the same thing to have a life of success and a life of purpose,” he says in Spanish. “For a long time, I tried to fill a hole in my heart that nobody could fill. I pretended to be happy, but something was missing. I toured the world, won prizes and applauses, but I realized it’s…

By Kaelyn Sollom – As a super-woke, transgender K-pop imitator in Korea, Oli London got love-bombed on social media. But then he found Christ, de-transitioned and began to advocate for Israel. The lavishing of love he got online turned sour: it became hate-bombing. “I kinda thought maybe I could change myself and I started undergoing different procedures to try and improve my image. Then I started struggling with identity and then thought maybe it’s because I’m trans?” Oli says on a Jewish News Syndicate TV video. “And I went through a number of years thinking and believing I was trans…

By Abdul Masih – Sushila was brutally beaten and sex-trafficked – by her own husband. “He would beat me, electrocute me, and beat me again and again until I was unconscious,” Sushila says on a video uploaded by Venture, a group that helps rescue victims of sex-trafficking. Today, Sushila herself rescues victims. She stands on the border between Nepal and India to share her story with girls showing the signs of being trafficked. Sushila’s horrors started with poverty. She was in 11th grade when her “husband” proposed to her, promising that she would be able to continue her studies. The…

By Robel Yohannes – Norman Dozier was sentenced to a life in the Angola Prison of Louisiana, “the bloodiest prison of the South.” God let him out. “I was one of the biggest drug dealers in central Louisiana,” he says. Norman Dozier grew up in Alexandria, Louisiana, with loving, concerned parents. But the neighborhood shifted his views on life because he was “lured into darkness.” Out of high school, he joined the National Guards and drifted further away from his parents’ values in the streets of South Carolina during training. “In a 19-year-old guy’s mind, it was the ungodly things…

Part of the problem is that in most of the Silicon Valley existence, its comprehensive monoculture privileged certain types of “smart people.” It was a kind of clever man who campaigned for Barack Obama, marched for gay rights, and built custom prayer stools to complement the priestly fetish at the Folsom Street Fair. The subject of ethics was frequently nurtured, but also grew almost exclusively in the context of their non-similar relationships. If the Black Life Matter Signs germinated from the garden and wandered into spirituality beyond the constraints of atheism, it was Eastern diversity. Being a Muslim was actually…

In his comments after the announcement, Coventry described it as a “extraordinary” moment and a “great honor.” Coe, an Olympic gold medalist in the 1980s, became a British Conservative MP in the 1990s, ran the 2012 London Olympic Organising Committee, and was noted for her hardline on Russian competitors and her harsh attitude towards trans athletes participating in women’s competition. Samaranche Jr.’s father ran for the IOC as president from 1980 to 2001. Meanwhile, he was primarily sided with a scandal involving a bribery allegation in Salt Lake City against the 2002 Winter Olympics. In addition to coordinating the IOC…

Ultimately, the harsh language that threatens additional sanctions on Russia’s energy and trade goods makes little sense given that it still requires unanimity, given that it actually implements it at the EU level. And he blocked Hungary multiple times with suggestions to strengthen the remaining loopholes. “Olban chose the obvious EU interest and in fact the path of isolation and illegal democracy towards Hungary. He was given many opportunities and refused long hands,” the second diplomat said. “European safety is too serious to negotiate with one person who thinks it’s 180 degrees different than anyone else.” “If I think he…
