At the time, the researchers said, “Our great-great-grandchildren will not starve . . . they will be squeezed to death.” To stop the upcoming “squeeze,” the researchers argued that humanity needed to work together to halve the birth rate—something people actually did (the American birth rate is 1.6). And now there are grave concerns about underpopulation and what that will do to society. This utterly wrong prediction had serious consequences, including apparently helping the deadly Roe v. Wade decision to pass regarding legalizing abortion.

If you thought that the destruction of Iran's military, its nuclear weapons program, and its economy would cause the regime to re-evaluate its present course of action—think again. The jihadi leopard does not change its spots. Sure enough, Iran's mad mullahs are doubling down. They just unveiled an underground “missile city,” where they say they are stockpiling ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. Bottom line, this is not a regime that has any interest in striking a credible, fair deal with the United States. That is painfully obvious. This is who they are, and it is what they do. It's all jihad, all the time. President Trump realizes this, telling Vice President Vance this week to give up on his efforts to negotiate with Iran's leaders.

The comments from committed gamers were, not surprisingly, dismissive, and many accused the government of ruining everyone’s fun. But one US company decided it was all too difficult to keep the doors open on the scheduled release day and has decided to observe a “temporary company-wide operational pause,” citing “multiple employee scheduling conflicts” from this “unprecedented cultural event.”

Supporters call it 30×30. Critics, including American agricultural officials who have examined parallel domestic efforts, have described similar schemes as a vehicle for locking up productive land and restricting the people who own and work it. The framework sits squarely inside the broader UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, which former UN officials have openly described as the “masterplan for humanity” and the “declaration of interdependence.” The biodiversity targets are meant to mesh with climate goals, land-use planning, subsidy reform, and financing rules. So-called “National Biodiversity Strategies” and “Action Plans” are the delivery mechanism for it all.

To believe that a comet seeded life, or brought us the building blocks of life, requires that you believe in a “one-in-a-million occurrence . . . a one-off fluke” that just happened to come in at the right speed and the right angle, and that, after this “one-in-a-million” impact, life did just happen to evolve. In other words, you need faith. The evolutionary worldview requires faith, and it requires a belief in miracles! However, these are naturalistic miracles; there is no all-powerful God who is acting in creation in this worldview. All you have is “dumb luck,” as the late Dr. David Menton used to say. So instead of placing your faith in the God of the Bible, you are left with faith in dumb luck.

Tucker Carlson is preparing to publish a book titled "Peace Is The Only Final Solution For Jews," with his own publishing company releasing the controversial work. Carlson is personally writing its foreword. Who could imagine playing off the term "the final solution for the Jews," just for likes, clicks, and sales? This is a new level of depravity. Kristallnacht is back! Almost 88 years after that terrible day in November of 1938, when Jewish businesses were destroyed in Germany, anti-Israel activists in Philadelphia relived it. They rode through the city’s most fashionable neighborhood on Sunday, November 8, to mark six Jewish-owned businesses for removal. Their flier stated, “No business for Zionists. These Zionist establishments must go.” Can we all agree that it's 1938 again?

It was an attempted show of force, meant to intimidate Jews… in the year 2026… in America. If you're thinking this sounds more like something out of Nazi Germany, consider the timing. The protest was held just one day before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the infamous 1938 pogrom that saw Nazi thugs rampage through the streets and attack Jewish-owned businesses in Germany and Austria. The organizers of this Philly hate fest were well aware of the message they were sending, just like the Nazis on Kristallnacht: “Jews are not welcome.” But a funny thing happened on the way to the Philly pogrom… Counter-protesters showed up.

We live in a time when truth is treated as personal and changeable. People speak of “my truth” and “your truth,” as if reality can be rewritten according to individual feelings or cultural preferences. Yet truth is not ours to invent. Truth originates with God, is revealed in His Word, and is perfectly embodied in Jesus Christ. Jesus did not say that He merely knew or taught the truth. He declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). For the Christian, standing in truth ultimately means standing with Christ. Truth remains true whether it is popular, politically convenient, or affirmed by the majority. Cultures change, public opinion shifts, and ideas once considered unthinkable can become celebrated in a surprisingly short period of time. But the character of God does not change, and neither does His Word.

Two podcast hosts hardly contained their laughter after reading a post on X that made light about “digging up” the dead body of the assassinated Turning Point USA president Charlie Kirk and “doing it again.” Not only was the backlash immediate, but nearly 30 sponsors pulled their support. During last week’s Thursday episode of their progressive podcast I’ve Had It—titled “Drinking MAGA Tears” and focused on Democratic midterm wins—Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan read the line aloud. Both burst into extended laughter lasting. The clip quickly spread, drawing intense backlash. At least 25 companies (including Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, Zenni Optical, Casper, Honeylove, HexClad and others) pulled or distanced their advertising support, with some explicitly citing opposition to violence of any kind.

During a 60 Minutes interview, President Donald Trump partially blamed Republicans' poor performance in the 2026 midterm elections on what he called a “great dislike for Israel” among American voters, alongside, of course, opposition to the war with Iran and rising gasoline prices. His remarks come amid declining American support for Israel, even as Vice President J.D. Vance also suggests Republicans may need to reconsider their “relationship” with the Jewish state to win future elections.

These leaders often quote Scripture, talk about "love" and "compassion," and sound deeply religious. Yet, they twist the text at every turn—redefining marriage, blurring the explicit design of God’s creation of two distinct genders (Gen 1:27, Matt 19:4), and undermining the sanctity of human life. They get away with it because, so few Christians know their Bibles well enough to catch the distortion. It is the age-old tactic of the serpent in the Garden of Eden: taking a grain of truth and mixing it with a deadly lie.

There’s no shortage of takeaways from last Tuesday’s shellacking, but one of the most unfortunate is the door the GOP’s drubbing opened for radical Islam. In Michigan, which is sounding more like an arm of the Tehran propaganda machine every day, two of the most powerful offices are laying an unnerving groundwork for the nation’s next chapter. As Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed openly warned in his victory speech, winning his seat was never the goal. “The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics.” And that’s what every American should be afraid of.

The lessons that have shaped her most deeply, she said, came from “sitting with mothers who’ve lost sons and daughters to persecution, listening to pastors who’ve rebuilt their congregations after their churches have been burned, and meeting families driven from their homes because of their beliefs.” Those encounters remain vivid. “I’ve stood in the mass graveyards in northern Iraq,” Lynch said. “I’ve spoken with displaced women in Sudan hiding in the mountains. I’ve met with family members of the 21 Coptic Christians who have been beheaded by ISIS on the shores of Libya. They are not statistics. They have faces, names, and families, and I will carry their stories with me into this role.”

I believe President Trump made a Churchill-like decision in confronting Iran's nuclear weapons program. He saw the gathering storm. He received the intelligence that Iran's fanatical death cult of modern-day Nazis was on the verge of a nuclear bomb, and he acted. He knew there were serious political risks in an election year, but he did the right thing anyway. He put the safety and security of the American people over his electoral fortunes. His reward? A blue tsunami in the midterms. But I believe, just as history now judges Winston Churchill very kindly for his courageous leadership, it will do the same one day for President Trump, for stopping a group of Islamic jihadist fanatics from acquiring the world's deadliest weapons.

American Christians must confront a question: Where have our pastors been? The great failure of the American evangelical church is the reluctance of many pastors to address the moral and spiritual implications of political issues. Sunday after Sunday, congregations hear sermons about personal relationships, forgiveness, generosity, and platitudes about Christian living. Those subjects are important. But where are the sermons condemning abortion, supporting the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, constitutional government, and the moral foundations upon which a free society depends?

There is no better way to ostracize than the BDS movement's attempt at crippling Israel's economy and isolating Jewish businesses and organizations, not to mention those who support them. Israel's enemies are very creative, even though they are also very specific in what they chose to boycott out of convenience. This attempt at separation included a protest bike ride in Philadelphia to boycott Jewish eateries around town. Incidentally, in an unexpected show of support, the places intended for boycott got very long lines outside for food. Regardless, the choice of date, being a day before the remembrance of Kristallnacht, was a slap in the face of history. The modern BDS movement was only born in 2005, but it has done a lot of damage and continues to inflict further ostracism on Israel and Diaspora Jews economically, politically, culturally, and academically, albeit very hypocritically.

This is a time of testing for the Jewish people, both in America and around the world. The explosion of antisemitism that followed the October 7 atrocities has brought antisemitic violence, harassment, and intimidation to our streets. The situation is far more virulent in Europe, where social cohesion is under greater strain – but even in America, we are seeing politicians excuse, amplify, and even encourage mass displays of antisemitism that have inevitably resulted in a rising tide of violence against our Jewish community.

Taken together, the early signals from the new Democratic majority paint a consistent picture: accelerated efforts to weaken religious accommodations, expand abortion access (including exceptions that remove safeguards), and reintroduce DEI frameworks through legislation, appointments and administrative workarounds. Whether these moves ultimately take root depend on legislative negotiations, court challenges and the durability of the 2026 gains. For now, many say the political landscape of Texas has been fundamentally altered, and the policy fights over conscience, life and institutional identity are only beginning.

Here is my assessment of the scene: it is bad, but it is not fatal. Recovery requires something more demanding than waiting for the political winds to shift. It requires citizens willing to pray when they are discouraged, vote when they are disappointed, and stand for truth when doing so is costly or unpopular. At a crime scene, once the immediate danger has passed, the work is not finished. There are facts to establish, responsibilities to fulfill, and people who need help moving forward. The same is true now. We cannot recover everything that has been lost. But we can refuse to surrender what remains — and faithfully do our part to preserve this Republic.
