S. Stephen, Stephanos - "the crowned" - offers us perhaps the most stirring condemnation of the Jews we find in Scripture outside the words of Our Lord Himself. Like Our Lord, and like all martyrs, he was made to suffer because he held up a mirror to sinful men confirmed in their viciousness; like the fool of Proverbs, they hated him for the truth he showed them.

Friday’s performance was part of a larger shift. For the week, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2%, 2.9%, and 3.5%, respectively.

And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
