Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED. SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026. _________________________________________________ FRED BIERY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE [photo of Liam] Credit: Bystander Matthew 19:14 John 11:35

Spark Arena Jan 29th 2026 Reviewed by Jeremy Elwood | Photos by Steve McCabe The Greenstone Summer Concert Tour lineup announcement has, for many, become a highly anticipated moment of finding out which eclectic mix of “wow-are-they-still-alive?” nostalgia acts will be rolling in this time. Past lineups featuring Cold Chisel and Icehouse, or Lynard Skynyrd, 10cc and Starship may feel random, but there’s a definite, deliberate logic at play.
