Netanyahu was once Israeli Finance Minister - and it shows. He understands a lot about economics, and is worth listening to in order to get a sense for where Israel's economy is headed.
BREAKING: The FBI and state of Utah have just released video of the Charlie Kirk kiIIer escaping from the scene following the shooting
He jumped off the rooftop, moved quickly through the parking lot, and then began walking casually to blend in before entering a wooded area.
He was wearing converse tennis shoes, a shirt with an eagle, and a baseball cap with a triangle.
There is a sickness in the Church today that we cannot ignore any longer. It's the culture of cover-up. The idea that protecting a ministry's reputation is more important than protecting the vulnerable. That confronting evil within the camp somehow threatens the work of God. That’s not biblical. That’s cowardice.
The man being exposed in this video—a well-known evangelist working in Central and South America—has even been connected to my own church. That hits close to home. And I want to say publicly that I’m proud of my pastor, Nick, for standing up for the victims and refusing to stay silent. That kind of courage is rare, and it’s exactly what the Church needs right now.
You may not know this man or any of the people involved. But that doesn’t mean this doesn’t concern you. It’s important to recognize the signs of abuse and manipulation in the Church so that when we see it, we can stand against it—clearly, boldly, and without hesitation.
If we say we follow Christ, then ...
In 1932-1933 there was a man made famine created by the Soviet Union in Ukraine named the Holodomor. This is what man-made famine looks like, when you could be shot for taking a handful of grain, not having the ones you hate ship literal tons of supplies to you like what we are seeing in Gaza.
The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, just ordered every U.S. general officer—we’re talking admirals and generals across the services, more than 800 flag officers—to report to Quantico, Virginia next week. The meeting isn’t secret; the agenda is. That alone is historic. Add the entourages, staffers, security, and aircrews and you’re looking at several thousand people converging on one secure base.
Let’s be clear: everything beyond the fact of the meeting is speculation until we hear otherwise. But the scale and timing are hard to ignore.
New Strategy Rollout. The simplest explanation is often right. Hegseth may be announcing a sweeping defense concept—a pivot to homeland defense while re-framing how we handle overseas threats.
Top-Heavy Cleanup. The force has become too bureaucratic and bloated at the top. Streamlining combatant commands and trimming hundreds of billets wouldn’t shock me.
Operational Security Briefing. If leadership worries about hacks and leaks, you bring people behind a SCIF door and talk face-to-face.
Imminent Threat Coordination. Less likely, but not zero: warnings about coordinated, multi-front risks—from terror plots to state-actor provocations—requiring synchronized posture across the services.
The media chatter about a “loyalty oath” or a “coup” is nonsense. This isn’t about pledging to a man; it’s about returning the military to merit and mission.
If the world feels jumpy, that’s because it is.
Drone incursions and fighter-jet stunts: Russian aircraft have probed NATO airspace and the Alaska ADIZ, sometimes flying low and deliberately provocative. The goal isn’t just theater—it’s timing our response.
According to the latest tally, 157 UN member states—about 81% of the General Assembly—now recognize a Palestinian state (framed along 1967 lines: West Bank/Judea & Samaria, Gaza, and East Jerusalem with land swaps). That vote doesn’t grant UN membership (the U.S. vetoed that push at the Security Council), but it is a wave of diplomatic theater.
Let’s be clear:
On the ground, nothing changes. Israel still controls its borders; the Palestinian Authority controls scattered zones in the West Bank; Hamas still rules Gaza by force.
In the halls of international bodies, recognition amplifies lawfare—more podium time, more resolutions and filings at the ICJ/ICC targeting Israel. Symbolic isolation rises; security reality does not.
“Recognition” without governance, borders, or a unified leadership isn’t statehood; it’s virtue signaling.
