Don’t miss this
Danny Danon absolutely destroys UN Relief official Tom Fletcher over his false claims — like the widely debunked “14,000 babies” narrative — and exposes how this kind of propaganda fuels deadly violence, like the murders of Sarah and Yaron.
Major revelation:
Danon accuses the UN of actively colluding with Hamas to block humanitarian aid — using mafia-style threats and even purging NGOs from the Shared Aid Database if they support the new aid delivery system.

Birds in Ukraine are using fiber optic cable to make their nests. Not surprising.
Massive Solid Gold Torah Ark Completed
Using 2 tons of pure silver and 24-karat gold, the construction of the world's largest Torah ark has been completed at the Ateres Shlomo Yeshiva in Rishon LeZion. The Aron Kodesh was built over a period of two years by 350 artists from 12 countries.
An Aron Kodesh (Hebrew: אָרוֹן קֹדֶשׁ, literally “Holy Ark”) is the sacred cabinet or ark found at the front of a synagogue, which houses the Torah scrolls—the holiest objects in Judaism.
Key features:
• Location: It’s typically placed on the wall facing Jerusalem. So in synagogues west of Jerusalem (like in Europe or the U.S.), it’s on the eastern wall.
• Design: Often beautifully crafted from wood or stone, and ornately decorated. It may have a curtain (called a parochet) in front of it, evoking the curtain in the ancient Temple.
• Function: It holds the handwritten scrolls of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), which are read publicly during synagogue services.
• Symbolism: It represents the Ark of ...

Why China's Greatest Weapon May Be Its Willingness to Suffer
Let me ask you something: Have you ever been told you can’t buy something because you’ve hit your quota? That’s rationing—and here in America, it’s virtually unheard of. Sure, we had the great toilet paper panic of 2020, but that was more about hysteria than hardship. The truth is, we’ve grown used to convenience, comfort, and instant gratification.
That comfort could become a liability.
Because over in China, the people are enduring hardship—and not by accident. They’re preparing for war. And while Americans are busy customizing their next coffee order, China is building warships, digging bomb shelters, and getting ready to go toe-to-toe with the West. This isn’t fearmongering—it’s fact.
Hardship Builds Readiness
During World War II, Americans made real sacrifices. Ration books. Victory gardens. No new cars, refrigerators, or even typewriters. Every scrap of wool, steel, and fuel was repurposed for the war effort. Why? Because we knew what was at stake. It was a total war, and we fought it with total resolve. 
That unity, that resolve, is exactly what gave us the edge. America didn’t just outfight our enemies—we outproduced them. Industry, grit, and sacrifice won the day.
Now ask yourself: Could we do that today?
