Black Agenda Report
I spoke to the Black Alliance for Peace AFRICOM Watch Bulletin about Israel’s recognition of Somalia’s secessionist state, which is further destabilizing the volatile Horn of Africa. Since 1991, a reactionary element in "Somaliland" has been attempting to secede from Somalia. Those tensions were raised on December 26 when the Zionist entity many call Israel recognized this effort.
So, Jesus is returning Sept. 23, is He?
On Sept. 18, 2017, I posted an article titled, “Sorry to Tell You, But Jesus Is Not Returning on Sept. 23.” I could repost that same article today, word for word, and it would be just as relevant, as once again, some Christians are predicting the Lord’s return to rapture His church on that very day this year. But it’s not because Sept. 23 itself carries any significance.
Gen Z: Moving from atheism to faith
The story is told about an American shoe company that decided to expand its sales overseas, building warehouses in new locations around the world to stock their supplies. After shipping thousands of boxes of shoes to their newest location in Africa, their top salesman arrived to get things started.
Steve 'Mongo' McMichael Dies at 67 | NFL Legend & Bears Icon Remembered » Ustimespost
Steve McMichael, affectionately known as “Mongo,” was more than just a name in American football—he was a symbol of strength, grit, and heart. Born on October 17, 1957, McMichael left an indelible mark both in the NFL and professional wrestling. Fans of the Chicago Bears remember him as a cornerstone of their dominant 1985 Super Bowl-winning defense.
Pivotal week for growth jitters as geopolitical risk ratchets up
By Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist, Pepperstone This is a macro, not a political, note. However, it is nigh-on impossible, this morning, not to at least make mention of the shambolic, and embarrassing, scenes in the Oval Office on Friday night, whereby President Trump, VP Vance, and Ukraine President Zelensky engaged in a 3-way shouting match in front of the world’s media.
The furries are here – and in full force * WorldNetDaily * by Michael Brown
Although what you’re about to read sounds preposterous, it is absolutely true. And while it sounds laughable, it is sadder than it is funny. Let me give you the background first, then I’ll share with you the reason for this article.
A Blip For Equities, Not A Change In Trend
July 17, 2024 (Investorideas.com Newswire) A brutal midweek session has seen stocks sold-off aggressively across the board, owing to a confluence of factors, though said move appears likely to prove a blip, rather than a sign that the tide may be turning out of the bulls' favour. Just as everyone was getting all over-excitable about the so-called 'Trump Trade', said view appears to have been Trumped (pardon the pun) by reality, with stocks taking a battering during the midweek session.
8 things the church can learn from LGBT activists
In October 2007, I delivered a series of lectures on the subject of "Homosexuality, the Church, and Society." The lectures were held at the Booth Playhouse in the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, and they attracted considerable attention from the local media. One of the lectures was titled, "What the Church Can Learn from the Gay and Lesbian Community," and in the 90-minute talk, I made eight specific points.
A Catholic commencement speech at a Catholic college – the horrors! | WND | by Michael Brown
While a petition calling for the firing of Harrison Butker, one of the greatest placekickers in the NFL, has gained more than 100,000 signatures, sales of his jersey are skyrocketing. Why all the controversy? This past Sunday, Butker, who plays for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and is a traditional Catholic, delivered the commencement speech at Benedictine College, a highly-ranked, private, liberal arts, traditional Catholic school. What did he actually say in his speech?
'He Gets Us' Super Bowl Controversy
Walker Wildmon and Tim Wildmon talk about the 'He Gets Us' ad that aired during Super Bowl LVIII. A lot of money was spent on the ad. Was it worth it? What exactly was the message it conveyed? Does that message match the gospel? Click on the graphic below to watch episode 315 of Reason & Company on AFA's streaming service.
Great global land grab
While the world’s biggest polluters dominate the headlines at the UN climate summit with an array of sensationalist pledges and announcements, designed mainly to distract us all from a lack of real climate action, one of the biggest scandals of all is taking place right under our noses. The great global land grab. AKA carbon markets.
Gun laws will eventually pass
No one but a soldier in a war zone needs an assault rifle. But here in America, the AR-15 and similar weapons have become the choice for mass murderers. Having high-capacity magazines, high rates of fire and lethal high-velocity rounds allow unhinged individuals to kill and maim a large number of people in a short amount of time. We once had an assault weapons ban, but the National Rifle Association and gun lobby successfully worked to stop its renewal when it expired.
Crackdown on San Francisco Drug Markets Brings Surge in Arrests
Five months after local and national law-enforcement officials launched crackdowns on San Francisco's open-air drug markets, one long-time dealer said he won't risk venturing into the Tenderloin much anymore. "I'm scared," he said in a recent interview, noting that he's lately preferred to work construction shifts.
The Need for a Comprehensive Strategy Addressing Cybersecurity and Quantum Technology
The Need for a Comprehensive Strategy Addressing Cybersecurity and Quantum Technology Over the past two years, the Biden Administration has taken a series of steps centered on quantum and cybersecurity. This has been done via a series of individual Executive Orders (EO), National Security Memorandums (NSM), ongoing technology research, development, test and evaluation, as well as other procurement and acquisition actions.

Taliban Showcases Million Of Dollars Worth Of Seized U.S Military Hardware On Twitter | Michael Brown | NewsBreak Original
Image of U.S military vehicles seized by the TalibanPhoto byVikram Mittal/Forbes The Taliban shook the media after showing shocking images of lined up U.S military vehicles claiming that they have successfully repaired and restored sabotaged vehicles and adding to their military forces in a post on twitter last Friday. The post comes almost 2 years later after the U.S Withdrawal from Afghanistan on August, 30, 2021 concluding the long 2001-2021 war.
LETTER: Extreme gun culture prevents reform
In his recent letter on Lev Schneiderman repeats the two usual tropes one hears from the extreme gun culture. The first is that criminals do not obey gun laws. This is presented as a rationale for having no gun laws whatsoever. The second is that the other side “is doing everything they can to infringe on the Second Amendment.” This, more often than not, is expressed as, “They’ll take our guns.” In fact, most Americans are for both gun ownership and sensible gun laws.
Puerto Vallarta Present At The World Travel Market In England
Puerto Vallarta continues to be present in different countries, where it has strengthened commercial relations in the field of tourism, as in the 43rd edition of the World Travel Market with the participation of the Tourism Trust of this municipality, this time in the European market. This event took place from November 7 to 9 in London, England, and was attended by thousands of people.

The Tide Turns Against Transgender Activism
Just as we should have compassion on those who truly struggle with their gender identity, we should stand firmly against transgender activism. Thankfully, there are more and more signs that the tide is turning against this latest example of sociological contagion. It is true that, in some significant ways, America is well behind a number of European nations which are reversing course much more rapidly than we are here in the States.

Israel's smears against Amnesty fail to hide apartheid
Amnesty International is just the latest rights group to describe Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians as apartheid. Mamoun Wazwaz Polaris Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a pro-Israel group, slammed Amnesty International’s new report on Israeli apartheid as “anti-Semitic.” No surprise there: He was echoing the line pushed by the Israeli government and its lobby for days.
Gender, Climate Change, and Security: Missing Links
Gender issues, climate change, and security problems are interconnected in complex and powerful ways. Unfortunately, some of these connections have not received enough attention from scholars, policy analysts, and policymakers. This has serious, real-world implications for the promotion of gender equality, the mitigation of climate change, and the advancement of peace and security—three priorities that everyone should care about.

CNN erases West Bank and Gaza Strip
You are here CNN has failed to correct a 5 December map that didn’t delineate the West Bank and Gaza Strip. CNN show GPS, hosted by Fareed Zakaria, displayed a map on 5 December which omitted any delineation of the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel and the Golan Heights were specifically labeled, though the occupied status of the Golan Heights wasn’t indicated. The segment was an interview with Vali Nasr about Iran’s moves to accelerate its enrichment of uranium.
Alberta-based Quantum Silicon Inc. is ushering in the future of electronics
The discovery that silicon could be used to make transistors smaller and more efficient in the late 1950s led to the invention of the integrated circuit – the basis for computers, cellphones and just about every other electrical device in use today – and signalled the dawn of the largest, most complex industry history has ever known. And while North American manufacturers used this homegrown technology to get a head start, today’s $500-billion semiconductor industry has largely moved on.
Should the United States Arm Ukraine?
We at Foreign Affairs have recently published a number of articles examining what the United States and Europe should do in Ukraine. Those articles sparked a heated debate, so we decided to ask a broad pool of experts to state whether they agree or disagree with the following statement and to rate their confidence level about that answer. The United States should provide whatever military aid the Ukrainian government needs to defend itself against Russian-supported rebel attacks.
NEW AMERICAN PROPHET
Is recognition of God in the public arena today just a meaningless construct? It reminds me of politicians swearing in on a Holy Bible, but having not the slightest clue what the Good Book actually says. If you asked the average American today, “What is the national motto of America?” I doubt that many of them would answer correctly. Of course, the answer is, “In God We Trust.” And it has been as such since the 1950s. This harkens back to America’s founding.
Prophecy 2021 – What a Difference a Decade Makes | NEW AMERICAN PROPHET
For 15 years now this writer has been offering a general perusal of current events as they relate to Biblical prophecies, on a yearly basis. These prognostications are not on the level of bible prophecies, they are a bird’s eye view from a fifty-year veteran of the study of eschatology and a man called to prophecy at least some, of the will and counsel of God. I have seen panoramic visions of the second coming of Christ, some almost 50 years ago.
NEW AMERICAN PROPHET
President Joe Biden is a shadow of his former self. Long gone is the aggressive, pugnacious, and partisan Democrat who mistreated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his confirmation hearings. Today, Americans see a President who is clearly mentally diminished and is getting worse on a daily basis. During the campaign, Biden refused to submit to a cognitive test. When asked by CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett if he would take a test, Biden snapped, “No, I haven’t taken a test.
The Coming ‘Great Reset’
Well, it’s been just over a month now, and Joe Biden has been very busy writing his name. Maybe in a few weeks he’ll be ready to move on to learning shapes and colors. So far, he’s signed more than forty executive orders — more (by far) than any president in history. But that was just his first two weeks. It seems he’s gotten quite adept at signing his name, circumventing Congress by issuing presidential edicts.
The End Is Near for Covid Hysteria
A dreadful year of COVID madness, with crazy recommendations such as wearing double masks, is, hopefully, nearing an end. According to Dr. Marty Makary, a health policy expert and surgeon at Johns Hopkins University, the United States is nearing herd immunity, which refers to a situation in a community when enough people are immune to a disease to prevent its spread to others who are not protected. This immunity can be achieved through vaccines and natural infection.
It’s Time We Christians Learn About Jesus
Given what we’ve seen transpire over the past year, and all the wickedness, evil, cheating, lying and deception that’s been exposed within our government, our media, our big tech giants, our health officials and pretty much every public sector of our economy, I have to really wonder just how long it’s been since we’ve had a real, honest and fair presidential election in this country… and how long it’s been since our government operated the way it was set up by our Founding Fathers.
Trump Voters Will Never Forgive Shameful GOP Establishment
In 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States despite being opposed by the establishment of the Republican Party. After four successful years as President, he received a record-setting 74.2 million votes. Obviously, the vast majority of Republicans strongly supported President Trump and approved of his performance in office. Polls showed that President Trump’s support level among Republicans reached 90% in 2020, an amazing feat considering the type of opposition he faced.
Ridiculous Impeachment Over Job Well Done
The first thing ‘lawmakers’ should know is (stand by), the law! What a concept! And they should know the names for legitimate legal charges and what evidence is needed to push that agenda. To the lawmakers, the impeachment process means a very serious charge against a president, or another high-ranking politician, that could present a threat to our democracy by faulty actions. President Trump did none of that.

Trump Impeachment II – George Washington Warned About Political Factions | AMERICAN PROPHET
Maybe it’s just me, but I am starting to come to the conclusion that Nancy Pelosi just doesn’t like former President Donald Trump. She seems to have been the driving force behind Trump Impeachment II. Jeff Charles of Red State calls it: “the Democrats’ new production of ‘An Impeachment Story Part II: Maybe It’ll Work This Time.’” Impeachment is a Constitutional provision to potentially remove a sitting president. But, of course, now Trump is a private citizen. Where is the Chief Justice?
Time for President Trump to Fight Back
Since the day he announced for President in 2015, Donald Trump has been treated horribly by his media and political opponents, both in the Republican and Democratic parties. No political candidate has ever received such terrible media coverage or such abuse from political insiders. Despite the unfair onslaught, he was elected President in 2016.
The Fight That Lies Between Status Quo and Secession
With a stolen election, stolen culture, stolen courts and stolen dreams, many Americans are realizing that rule by the Left, absolutely corrupt even without absolute power, is unthinkable. Talk of secession, something continually entertained in various states throughout history, is again in the air. The problem is that for the most part, we’ve been supinely submissive in the face of burgeoning leftist tyranny.
Bishops, other pro-life leaders decry Biden action ending 'Mexico City policy'
The chairman of the U.S. bishops' pro-life and international policy committees said President Joe Biden's memo rescinding the so-called "Mexico City policy" Jan. 28 is a "grievous" action that "actively promotes the destruction of human lives in developing nations." "(It) is antithetical to reason, violates human dignity, and is incompatible with Catholic teaching. We and our brother bishops strongly oppose this action.

Toronto Cardinal threatens to ‘shut down’ priests who give Communion on the tongue
TORONTO, Canada, December 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The Cardinal Archbishop of Toronto has said that he will “shut down” priests who administer Communion on the tongue in contravention of his coronavirus regulations for the archdiocese. In a November 13 webinar obtained by LifeSiteNews, Cardinal Thomas Collins emphasized that the archdiocese’s coronavirus procedures must be followed diligently.
Some vaccines should be mandatory but not COVID-19, says expert

‘These dead shall not have died in vain’: COVID’s Gettysburg moment - Rochester Beacon
GUEST OPINION By MICHAEL J. BROWN | 38 mins ago Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg address in November 1863. “We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” So said Abraham Lincoln in November 1863, dedicating Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg, where that July roughly 3,150 United States soldiers had died in combat. Among the dead were men of the 108th and 140th New York regiments, organized in Rochester.
