HOW 3 HEALTH FACTORS CAN HELP DELAY DEMENTIA FOR UP TO 13 YEARS SYNOPSIS: A study from NYU Langone Health suggests that avoiding three specific vascular risk factors – high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking – during middle age can delay the onset of dementia by up to 13 years. Researchers tracked 12,400 participants over 26 years, finding that those without these three risk factors enjoyed significantly longer dementia-free lives.

ANOTHER INJURY REPORTED AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD IN COLORADO WHERE TEEN DIED SYNOPSIS: The pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue reported that a 29-year-old woman was transported from a Fort Collins, Colorado, Planned Parenthood on July 9 after suffering a serious hemorrhage. Emergency responders classified the incident as a "Bravo Medical" call, necessitating a second ambulance to provide blood for a potential transfusion. This facility has faced repeated scrutiny, having called 911 at least five other times this year for various patient complications. The clinic is the same location where 18-year-old Lexi Arguello died in 2025 following a 22nd-week abortion procedure. An autopsy for Lexi Arguello confirmed she died from a clotting disorder related to an amniotic fluid embolism, with allegations suggesting staff failed to provide timely care. Ask the Lord to shut down the abortion mills that work the political system for money to prey on women in difficult situations.

Free e-Book: THE MINISTRY DRIVEN CHURCH I’d like to give you my e-book The Ministry Driven Church, but first let me tell you a little about myself: In 1957 when I was 14, I committed my life to serve Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. The next summer, over 65 years ago, while taking care of lawns at an apartment complex, the Lord gave me a vision: I saw a map of the Soviet Union in the sky and a voice said: “Remember this apartment complex plan - you’ll build it when you’re an old man.” And I remember that there was something special about the stairs, but I didn’t understand what it was. Now I’m over 80, so I guess I’m old enough to start this new project! READ MORE: https://robertdhosken.substack.com/p/free-e-book-the-ministry-driven-church-069

DO STEP-PARENTS MATTER? SYNOPSIS: (NOTE: before you pre-judge and fire off a comment, please READ THE FULL ARTICLE at the "Them Before Us" link.) The children come first! Nick Spencer, founder of Them Before Us (TBU), explains that children have a fundamental right to their biological mother and father, stating that every child is conceived by one man and one woman. The group distinguishes between adoption and remarriage, which they view as adults stepping in to provide stability for children after a pre-existing tragedy; compared to surrogacy or donor conception, which they define as adults intentionally, to satisfy their own desires, causing via IVF a child’s loss of biological connection.

THE UNHOLY CONCEPTION IN STALIN'S EMBRACE WILL FOREVER WEIGH ON THE ROC AND ITS BRANCHES AROUND THE WORLD SYNOPSIS: Archimandrite Nykanor (Mishkov), a prominent Bulgarian cleric, maintains a steadfast pro-Ukrainian stance, explaining that the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) is inextricably linked to Stalinist ideologies and the pursuit of state-controlled "Russian world" interests. Fr. Nykanor criticizes the current leadership of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (BOC), specifically Patriarch Daniil, for their refusal to condemn Russian aggression and their internal efforts to silence clergy who express solidarity with Ukraine.
