What did Mike hide? Did…

She could chastise me before hugging me. We could sit…
I never thought I’d follow my spouse. I never dreamed my lover would betray me in a way that shattered my world in seconds. Nate had always been a kind, loyal spouse who expressed his love in a million ways. After our son Caleb was born, he stepped up, making me proud. He endured late-night feedings, diaper changes, and early morning songs without complaint. His nighttime walks with Caleb were routine. He said, “It’s your time to relax,” kissing my forehead as he wrapped our baby. “You spent the day with him. Let me have it.” He always appeared lighter.…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after photographs of controversial tattoos from a Pearl Harbor drill surfaced. The photos released last week show Hegseth with the Arabic word “kafir” inscribed beneath his right bicep. Quranic term describes a person who disbelieves in God. The Arabic tattoo is near “Deus Vult,” a Latin phrase associated with the First Crusade. It was a harsh response from CAIR national executive director Nihad Awad.
