Byzantine-Era Holy Site Unearthed
In a breathtaking rediscovery that echoes the providence of Divine Providence in preserving Christian heritage, archaeologists in southern Jordan have unearthed the long-lost Byzantine Christian city of Tharais—a holy settlement once etched upon the sacred Madaba Mosaic Map but swallowed by time for over a millennium. Dr. Musallam R. Al-Rawahneh unveiled the extraordinary find, the fruit of three years' devoted research near the shores of the Dead Sea, revealing a trove of Christian symbols, ancient church structures, and tombstones inscribed in Greek and Latin. Among the ruins: olive presses, grape mills, and vestiges of ecclesiastical foundations point to a once-vibrant Christian community, deeply rooted in faith and industry, now brought back into the light amid a world craving reminders of its sacred past. This rediscovery is not just an archaeological victory—it is a compelling testament to the enduring truth of Christian civilization and its indelible mark on the land sanctified by our Lord’s footsteps. As secular powers rise and fade, the stones of Tharais cry out from the earth, bearing witness to a holy legacy that refuses to be forgotten.

The Tylenol Crisis of 1982March 10, 2026
The Tylenol Crisis, as it is now known, took place in the fall of 1982, when seven people in the Chicago area died after ingesting Extra Strength Tylenol capsules laced with the poison potassium cyanide. Their deaths, the first known to have been caused by deliberate product tampering, led to packaging reforms and federal anti-tampering laws. Despite a $100,000 reward offered by Johnson & Johnson, the perpetrator was never caught. How did Tylenol recover after the collapse of its market share?
