Says he may veto extension of Obamacare subsidies Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said he might veto ACA tax credit extensions if they pass in the Senate NFT drops and more: forbes.com/membership/ Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he might veto legislation to extend federal health insurance subsidies, injecting fresh uncertainty into a debate that has pitted congressional Republicans against Democrats and threatened to raise premiums for millions of Americans. Expiration of the health insurance tax breaks at the end of 2025 left millions of Americans facing significant price hikes for coverage. The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed the Democratic-backed legislation that would restore the subsidies to the Affordable Care Act, with 17 Republicans joining Democrats. The Senate, which is also controlled by Republicans, has already rejected a similar bill, but House passage could spur a compromise. …Hafa
A federal appeals court has ruled against the Satanic Temple's religious-based challenge of Indiana's near-total abortion ban. On Jan. 6, 2026, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit sided with a 2023 lower court opinion that the group lacked standing to sue because it did not present evidence that at least one Hoosier adherent was actually harmed. "This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid," Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a press release. Under Indiana law, abortion is allowed only in very narrow circumstances: cases of fatal fetal anomalies, threats to the mother's life, and pregnancies before 10 weeks' gestation caused by rape or incest. Lawyers for the Satanic Temple argued that these restrictions conflict with the religious practices of its Hoosier adherents. The group holds as one of its central tenets …
10.01.2026 CONSERVATIVE CARDINALS AT THE CONSISTORY SUPPORT THE LIBERAL AND SCHISMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL II APPROVED BY THE LEFT Cardinals today are in a similar situation as when King Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn and threathened to take away the property of the English cardinals who did not support him. So Protestantism was born. Cardinals Sarah, Burke, Muller and Napier at the Consistory were supporting an irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II which is politically correct and is used to rationalize LGBT ideology. The conservative cardinals did not issue a statement saying ‘LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases only. They are not physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church. They are not explicit exceptions for Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation) and neither are objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Council of Florence 1442, which did not mention …Hafa

Pope Leo XIV named Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. He succeeds Cardinal Stephen Brislin, who was transferred to Johannesburg in October 2024. Early Life and Formation Sithembele Anton Sipuka was born on April 27, 1960, in Idutywa (Dutywa) in the Eastern Cape. Before entering seminary, he worked for two years as a post office clerk. He was ordained a priest in 1988 for the Diocese of Queenstown, six years before the end of apartheid. In 1992, he was sent to Rome to study at the Pontifical Urban University. Rising Star in the Church In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Sipuka as Bishop of Mthatha. The diocese is rural, located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, and has fewer than 40,000 Catholics. Cape Town, by contrast, is one of South Africa’s most prominent sees, with approximately 280,000 Catholics. From 2019 to 2023, Bishop Sipuka served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference. In July 2025, Pope Leo …Hafa
1st book of Samuel 1,1-8. There was a certain man from Ramathaim, Elkanah by name, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless. This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were ministering as priests of the LORD. When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters, but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had made her barren. Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her that the LORD had left her barren. This went on year after year; each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD, Peninnah would approach her, and Hannah would weep and …Hafa

Breaking News Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT exhibit symptoms of poor mental health according to a new study that put various AI models through weeks of therapy-style questioning. Some are now curious about “AI mental health”, but the real warning here is about how unstable these systems – which are already being used by one in three UK adults for mental health support – become in emotionally charged conversations. Millions of people are turning to AI as replacement therapists, and in the last year alone we’ve seen a spike in lawsuits connecting chatbot interactions with self-harm and suicide cases in vulnerable users. The emerging picture is not that machines are suffering or mentally unwell, but that a product being used for mental-health support is fundamentally misleading, escalating, and reinforcing dangerous thoughts. AI Diagnosed with Mental Illness Researchers at the University of Luxembourg treated the models as patients rather than tools that deliver therapy. They ran multi-week …

The - for him - perennial question of why we suffer does not admit easy answers, Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, said in a psychologically dense talk in Madrid, Spain, on January 9, 2026, in the Aula Magna of Universidad CEU San Pablo according to OmnesMag.com. Bishop Varden’s episcopal consecration in 2020 was postponed because he was granted a period of leave to recover his strength from exhaustion. Religion or Life Coaching? Bishop Varden believes that pain “belongs to the human condition and cannot be dissolved by rational arguments.” Christian Faith does not seek to justify suffering or pretend it does not exist. Instead, it places suffering before God with reverence, acknowledging its gravity without turning it into an absolute. Monsignor Varden's central idea is that humanity is wounded, yet not defined by its wounds. “The human condition,” he said, “is a painful condition, but not a definitive one.” Victimism Is a Dead End Suffering may condition life, but it does …Hafa

Das Theodosioskloster Der christlichen Überlieferung zufolge befindet sich das Kloster des Heiligen Theodosius, auch bekannt als Deir Dosi oder Deir Ibn Obeid, an dem Ort, an dem die Heiligen Drei Könige auf ihrem Rückweg vom Besuch des Jesuskindes in Bethlehem Rast machten. Der Legende nach erschien Gott den Weisen und riet ihnen, auf ihrer Rückreise einen anderen Weg zu nehmen und Herodes zu meiden, der sie aufgefordert hatte, zu ihm zurückzukehren, um den genauen Geburtsort Jesu preiszugeben. Tatsächlich ist die Höhle, in der die Heiligen Drei Könige rasteten, heute einer der Hauptbereiche des Klosters. Das Kloster wurde 476 von Theodosius dem Cenobiarchen gegründet und erlebte seine Blütezeit zwischen dem 5. und 7. Jahrhundert, als es bis zu vier Kirchen und etwa 700 Mönche und Nonnen sowie weitere 2.500 Anhänger beherbergte, die in der Umgebung lebten.

Sunday, January 11, 2026, 10:00 AM Mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Fresno. Feast of the Baptism of the Lord | Do you want to rise with us from the depths of an abyss? In Jesus' time, many religious sects practiced baptism. The rite had many meanings, but one was of particular importance: (their past life was erased, as if swept away by the current) and with the immersion came the birth of a new man to whom, naturally, a new name was given. John performed this ceremony to welcome all those who wanted to become his disciples. He baptized those who decided to change their lives to prepare for the coming of the Messiah, announced as imminent. The first condition for receiving baptism was to recognize oneself as a sinner; it was for this reason that the Pharisees and Sadducees, who considered themselves righteous and without sin, felt they did not need it. If this was the meaning of John's baptism, it is not clear why Jesus received it; He did not need to change his life, and his …Hafa
