Met with Polish Minister of Defense @mblaszczak in Warsaw. We discussed latest frontline developments as Ukraine keeps fighting back Russian invaders. Grateful to Poland for standing by Ukraine resolutely.
The Erythraean Sibyl is bellied to have made extremely precise statements regarding the coming of Christ. In Christian iconography the Erythraean Sibyl is credited with prophesying the coming of the Redeemer, which prophesy was in the form of an acrostic whose initial letters spelled out "ΙΗΣΌΎΣ ΧΡΕΙΣΤΟΣ ΘΕΟΥ ΎΊΟΣ ΣΩΤΗΡ ΣΤΑΎΡΟΣ" ("Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior, Cross).

DC Police: 5 fetuses discovered in house where anti-abortion activist was staying
Lauren Handy and eight others were indicted this week on felony charges stemming from the 2020 invasion of an abortion clinic.
WASHINGTON — Police discovered five fetuses at the home of an anti-abortion activist in Capitol Hill on Wednesday, the department has confirmed to WUSA9.
Officers responded shortly after noon to a home on the 400 block of 6th Street SE to investigate a tip about potential bio-hazard material in the residence. Once inside, they located the fetuses. The remains were collected by the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The home was occupied by Lauren Handy, an anti-abortion activist who was indicted along with nine others Wednesday by a federal grand jury. Handy is accused of felony conspiracy against rights for a blockade inside a D.C. abortion clinic in October 2020.
WUSA9’s camera was outside as DC Police homicide and forensic services detectives took evidence out in red biohazard bags and coolers from the rowhouse's basement.
Handy declined to speak on camera Wednesday, but told WUSA9 she expected the raid to happen "sooner or later." She also declined to say what was in the coolers, saying only that "people would freak out when they heard."
WUSA9 reached out to Handy on Thursday for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
D.C. Superior Court records show Handy has a history of legal issues related to her anti-abortion activities. A D.C. charter school filed a civil complaint against her for trespassing in December 2015. She was arrested for unlawful assembly outside the school earlier that year, and at different locations in 2019 and in January for unlawful entry and blocking an entrance. Only of those cases resulted in more than a ticket. That case stemmed from a March 2019 arrest at the Washington Surgi-Clinic — the same clinic in the indictment Handy now faces. The charge was dropped in July 2019 for want of prosecution.
In the indictment unsealed Wednesday, prosecutors say Handy called the clinic pretending to be a woman named “Hazel Jenkins” who needed an abortion and made an appointment for the morning of Oct. 22, 2020. That morning, Handy allegedly approached a clinic employee and said she was Hazel Jenkins there for her appointment. When the employee opened the door, the indictment says, Handy and the other co-defendants forced their way into the clinic. In the process they allegedly knocked the clinic employee over, causing her to injure her ankle.

Why All the Billionaires Are Moving to Hawaii
Mai Tais at Zuckerberg’s? Golf with Bezos? Oh no, is that Peter Thiel? Keeping up with the billionaire brigade inside the private playgrounds of America’s most exclusive getaway.
In 1969 a young idealist, on her first trip to Hawaii, checked into the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, a sublime pink confection of a place in Waikiki Beach, on the island of Oahu. She threw open the balcony curtains, only to have the view of the surrounding mountains spoiled when she looked down onto the parking lot of the neighboring Sheraton Waikiki, then under construction. In April of the following year, the woman in question released “Big Yellow Taxi,” a protest song inspired by her stay at the legendary resort. A couple of the lyrics—“You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone” and “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”—became bywords of the ’60s counterculture.
If Joni Mitchell were to check in today, and her antennae were still finely tuned (according to local lore, the line “They took all the trees and put ’em in a tree museum/And charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see ’em” refers to Foster Botanical Garden in downtown Honolulu), the vista might inspire an entire catalog of new music. Pilloried by its detractors for being as ersatz as an Elvis movie, Waikiki has more than lived up to its planners’ promise to become a Bain de Soleil–covered bastion of resort living. And the gentrification doesn’t stop there.
In a turn of events that in another era might have galvanized a generation of tambourine-wielding folklorists, the rest of this remote Pacific archipelago has become Eden for the one percent.
EBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who spent part of his childhood in Hawaii, is now back as a full-time Honolulu resident. Salesforce boss Marc Benioff holds court on the Big Island, along with Starbucks capo Howard Schultz. Oprah is over in Maui, as is Jeff Bezos. If they squint they can make out Peter Thiel’s lair in Makena, on the south shore. In December, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan bought an additional chunk of land on Kauai, bringing their total to more than 1,500 acres. And the film producer Allison Sarofim is in Kahala on Oahu, where her family owns the old Clare Boothe Luce estate.
“Going there has taught me the concept of pono, which means living in harmony with each other and the environment,” Sarofim says. “It’s a fundamental value that is deeply ingrained in Hawaiian culture, and it’s my hope that people see and understand that part of Hawaii, as opposed to simply a beautiful vacation destination.”
Promoted for 120 years as a tourist escape for its sun, surf, and great year-round weather, Hawaii is a victim of its own success; sales of properties costing $10 million or more have increased sixfold in the last year.
“We always thought people wanted authentic experiences, and we encouraged them to come and live like a local,” says Chris Kam, president and COO of Omnitrak, a Honolulu-based research company. “Somewhere along the line that messaging got interpreted as ‘Move to Hawaii and become a local.’ ”
One of Omnitrak’s recent findings, Kam says, has been a trend during the pandemic of outsiders immersing themselves in a place they’re considering moving to, a fad well suited to the kaleidoscope of sights on offer here. This development has been encountered firsthand by Titus Kinimaka, a long-haired 64-year-old big wave surfer who is also an actor and the owner of the Hawaiian Surf School in Kauai, where the students include tech bros and corporate bigwigs.
“There are a lot of really interesting things going on below the surface, if you’re willing to make the effort,” he says. “I’m not surprised that a lot of these people who come decide to stay.”
The first gentrifiers of the islands were mostly robber barons, but today’s status-conscious transplants are more likely to come from Palo Alto or Wall Street. The Big Five (the sugarcane conglomerates that wielded considerable power in the early 20th century) may have gone the way of traditional instruments like the pahu, but a scan of the map and headlines reveals that serious money from the mainland is as prevalent as ever.
