Buy A MAGA Hat And Get A Knock On The Door From The FBI—That’s The America The Left Envisions
Here in America, we used to think that our political beliefs and the way we vote had no bearing on our personal relationships or careers. “I’m a Republican, you’re a Democrat, I’m a conservative, you’re a liberal, and we disagree on the issues, but we get along at the end of the day because we’re all Americans.” That’s how it used to be. No one asked you which way you voted when you went on a job interview, opened a bank account, or applied for a loan.
As Europe Crumbles, The United States And Israel Stand As The Two Nations Willing To Defend Their Civilization
It’s easy to see why Europe resents Israel so much. Israelis are patriotic. They’re resilient in the face of adversity. They’re confident in their country, their culture, and the justness of their cause. Everywhere you look in Israel, there are large families. Israel is everything Europe used to be. The prophet Zechariah promised a day would come when the streets of Jerusalem would be full of boys and girls playing in the streets (Zech. 8:5). We are there today, and it’s a beautiful thing to see.

Tragedy Turned Into Triumph: The Narrowly Hijacked Flight Of Israelis Showcases The Miraculous Control Of God

It was mayhem in the cockpit.
Terror Suspects Released on Bail Less Than 24 Hours After Plotting Bomb Attack Against US Forces In Britain
A major terror plot against U.S. military personnel was just broken up by British authorities. On Sunday, five Muslim men were arrested near the RAF Fairford Air Base in southwestern England.

The Firewall Defending Judeo-Christian Western Civilization Could Crumble On November 3rd
Over the next six weeks, decisions will be made that will determine the future course of the entire free world. That is no exaggeration. Will the West choose faith, family, freedom, and common sense, or will it choose socialism, secularism, separation, and a large dose of Islam mixed in? Much of the Western world has already made its choice. From the UK to France, Germany, Canada, Australia, and beyond, the West has chosen very poorly.

Fed Up With Hate-Fueled Lecturers: Has The Anti-Israel Mob Overplayed Its Hand?
The anti-Israel, “free-Palestine” mob is beginning to overplay its hand. They never miss an opportunity to get in your face and loudly lecture you about Israel’s supposed “genocide” in Gaza. In many cases, they have shown no hesitation in resorting to physical violence and vandalism. The American people have been shouted at by this hateful bunch for nearly three years, ever since Hamas massacred 1,200 Jews on October 7th. People are getting fed up.
Facts Don’t Matter To The Iranian Regime’s Cheerleaders In The Mainstream Media
If you have been listening to the mainstream media these past few months, you may believe that the United States has lost the war in Iran and that Iran’s regime has never been stronger or more emboldened. As a great man once said, “facts are a stubborn thing.” The fact is, ever since the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury some six months ago, Iran’s regime has seen its military and nuclear program completely decimated, and most of its top leaders killed. That was just for starters.

A Complete Collapse Of Moral Clarity: Accusing Israel Of ‘Ethnic Cleansing,’ Britain Sanctions Goods From The Bible Heartland
If you thought the UK would head in a more sane direction after weak, woke Prime Minister Keir Starmer left office this July, I’ve got some bad news for you… His replacement may be even worse. On Tuesday, the government of new Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced sweeping sanctions against Israeli communities in the “West Bank”—a region that we know as the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.
California Pastor Warns: Christian Apathy Is Enabling The Islamic ‘Culture War’ In America
Jack Hibbs, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Southern California, has been sounding the alarm about legislation (Assembly Bill 2017) rapidly advancing in his state that would make two Islamic “holy days,” Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, official state holidays. It’s a troubling development. The conversation is not about “religious freedom”; it is something entirely different.
Anyone Who Knows The History Of Islam And The West Knows This Doesn’t End Well
They say that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. We’re seeing this in real time in 2026 when it comes to the rise of Islam in the West. Muslim populations in Europe, Canada, Australia, and right here in the United States are growing at a rapid clip—so is the building of mosques. What makes this mass immigration so unprecedented is that these new Muslim arrivals have been welcomed in by their host countries.

As The MOU Deadline Passes, Iran’s Army Chief Places $30,000 Bounty On The Heads Of US Soldiers
The deadline came—and went. Remember that Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed back in June between the United States and Iran? There was a 60-day window for that MOU to forge a lasting deal between the U.S. and the Iranian regime. Obviously, that did not work, not because of the best efforts of the United States or the Trump administration, but because we are dealing with an apocalyptic jihadist death cult.

Celebrating Evil: Today’s Abortion Industry Would Make Even The Ancient Child Sacrifice Of Moloch Blush
Sometimes evil lurks in the shadows. Other times, it operates openly for everyone to see.

This means that little babies, fully formed, can now be literally ripped apart and murdered just moments before they’re supposed to come out of their mother’s womb.

With the November midterm elections less than three months away, let’s take a broad look at where we are as a nation under President Trump.

The Only Glimmer Of Hope For Lebanon Is For Hezbollah To Be Cast Into The Ash Heap Of History
There’s one major roadblock to a new Middle East, to a region where Israel lives in peace and prosperity with its Arab neighbors. That roadblock is the Iranian axis. In Iraq, Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, Iran’s regime has spent years creating chaos and surrounding Israel with a ring of fire, a proxy network sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state. The crown jewel of this evil empire is Hezbollah.
Will Iran’s Plan Of Tanking The Global Economy Cause The US To Pull Back?
Iran says it is now engaged in a “full-scale war” with the United States. Iranian President Mahmoud Pezeshkian, who is supposedly one of the more “moderate” figures among Iran’s fanatical jihadist leadership, made the remarks earlier today, and judging by events that unfolded over the weekend, the regime clearly wants to escalate. In response to heavy United States airstrikes, Iran continued to bombard its Arab-Muslim neighbors like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan with missiles and drones. You may ask.
