If there was one thing Patrick Mahomes may want back in the AFC Championship, it could be the celebratory spike of the football following his second touchdown run.
Mahomes faked the handoff to his running back and took the ball to his right. He had just enough blockers in front of him to get some momentum to bulldoze his way into the end zone. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin failed to make the tackle and the two other defensive backs behind him couldn’t keep the quarterback out of the end zone.

As Mahomes celebrated with Travis Kelce, he tried to spike the ball into the ground. However, the ball flopped out of his hands and flailed its way over to the sideline. He apologized for the head-scratching mishap in a post on X.
“I also apologize. That is why i dont try to spike the ball,” he wrote with cry-laughing emojis.

An Atelier dress designer and supporter of President Donald Trump shocked partygoers and social media users once again with a silhouette unlike anything he’d handcrafted before.
Andre Soriano, a shop owner in Occoquan, Virginia, and originally from the Philippines, designed a green “Make America Healthy Again” dress for recently crowned Miss America Abbie Stockard.
“She’s the sweetest,” Soriano told Fox News Digital of Stockard. “She’s the best representation of America. She’s going to be a great example for all the kids.”

Stockard, who represented Alabama and was crowned Miss America Jan. 5, wore the custom gown to the MAHA inaugural ball, held for a night in celebration of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services Jan. 20.
She has since shared photographs from the event opposite RFK Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, among others.
“I’m truly, truly honored and grateful to be part of her dressing up,” Soriano said.
The controversial designer is well known for the infamous “Make America Great Again” ensemble he crafted for singer-songwriter Joy Villa, which she wore to the 2017 Grammy Awards.

“I’ve been in Hollywood before,” Soriano told Fox News Digital. “I’ve been dissected, especially after I made the Trump dress.”
Soriano has been the recipient of hateful rhetoric both online and in person for his patriotic tailoring.
“We’re going to tell the,. ‘God bless you, and peace be with you,’” he said of the backlash.
Soriano received the measurements for Stockard just two days before she arrived in Washington, D.C., for the inaugural events.

He made the dress in eight hours.
“She came the next day,” Soriano said. “I did the fitting, and it fit her like a glove. I’ve worked with a lot of women, and I really nailed it down to the T.”
January was hectic for Soriano because eight to 10 dresses were commissioned by him in preparation for Inauguration Day.
“The whole month of January I was flooded,” he said. “I’m so glad that America finally made that decision.”

Vaikuntha Ekadashi, also known as Mukkoti Ekadasi, is a day of profound spiritual significance when the celestial gates of Vaikuntha, Lord Vishnu’s divine abode, are believed to open, bestowing blessings upon the faithful. This sacred Hindu festival transcends ritual, offering a transformative spiritual experience to those who observe it. While primarily celebrated in South India, Vaikuntha Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and falls during the auspicious month of Margashirsha (December–January), specifically on the eleventh day of the waxing moon. This day is considered much more than a date on the calendar; it is a cosmic event that invites devotees to purify their hearts, cleanse their minds, and embark on a path toward spiritual liberation.

The observance of Vaikuntha Ekadashi encourages devotees to engage in key spiritual practices:

Devotion: By focusing their prayers and thoughts on Lord Vishnu.
Liberation: By seeking an end to the cycle of birth and death.
In essence, Vaikuntha Ekadashi is a powerful day dedicated to spiritual freedom, divine blessings, and the deep importance of devotion. It is not merely a religious festival but a gateway to liberation and divine grace for sincere practitioners.
Seva and Donations on Vaikuntha Ekadashi
During Vaikuntha Ekadashi, offering seva (selfless service) and making donations are powerful ways for devotees to express their devotion. These acts not only earn spiritual merit but also support the temple’s mission of service and worship. Donations and seva contribute to the upkeep of the temple and the continued spread of Lord Vishnu’s teachings. Temples like ISKCON, for example, benefit from such acts of generosity, ensuring the ongoing dissemination of divine grace and devotion to the community. Through these contributions, devotees actively participate in the sacred observance of Vaikuntha Ekadashi and support the growth of spiritual practices that benefit all.
Vaikuntha Ekadashi represents the opportunity to break free from the endless cycle of birth and death. According to tradition, those who pass away on this day are believed to ascend directly to Vaikuntha, a realm free from suffering and anxiety (Kuntha). In this sense, it is seen as a shortcut to spiritual freedom for those devoted to Lord Vishnu.
Vaikuntha Ekadashi holds immense spiritual importance, with a primary focus on liberation (moksha). Devotees believe that those who pass away on this day are granted freedom from the endless cycle of birth and death and are directly welcomed into Vaikuntha, the divine realm of Lord Vishnu. This belief amplifies the day’s significance and makes it an essential occasion for those seeking spiritual progress.
On Vaikuntha Ekadashi, it is believed that Lord Vishnu himself blesses his devotees by personally appearing at the entrances of his temples. As a result, many devotees flock to temples on this day, seeking his divine grace and engaging in prayers and rituals. Additionally, it is said that all the demigods, including Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, gather in Vaikuntha on this day, creating a universal spiritual congregation that adds to the day’s holiness.
