Transforming Our Politics: Concerns Over Sharia Law In America Are Not Paranoia Or Fear-Mongering

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.

Communists, Socialists, And Islamists Are About To Sit In Congress—But God Is Still On The Throne

Democrats will undoubtedly use their newfound power to obstruct President Trump at every turn. Impeachment and investigations—it's all on the table. They have been telling us their plans openly. Fasten your seatbelts. I hope people realize what they voted for. Now, at the end of the day, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and even Ronald Reagan all suffered big midterm election setbacks. Republicans are not out, but it is a very tough moment, no doubt, as we look ahead to 2028. Isn't it good to know that through it all, God is still on the throne? He's in control, even when everything seems to be falling apart. It's time to pray for our nation like never before.

There Is Only One ‘Preparedness Plan’ The Unbelieving World Should Be Focusing On: Getting Right With God

I'm sure you've seen all the headlines and the news alerts: “Be prepared,” “An emergency is coming,” “Make a plan.” We are being told a global crisis is coming—and not just one in your hometown. I've read two dozen doomsday scenarios where we are to stock up on food, medicine, have a strategy to meet up with family and friends if separated, and much more because something “big” is coming. I have read the reports… but I'm sounding an even bigger warning.

NYC Prosecutors Instructed To Downgrade Charges Against Illegal Immigrants To Prevent Deportation: House Judiciary Report

Prosecutors across New York City’s five boroughs have been trained to pursue lesser criminal charges against illegal immigrants to reduce their chances of deportation, according to a report from the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee.

Socialist Spain: A Pillar Of The Cuban Tyranny And Contrary To The Monroe Doctrine

Nearly 70 years. That’s how long the Castro dictatorship has lasted. It seized power in 1959 and has never held free elections. Despite the massive protests of July 11, 2021 and the growing pot-banging protests over the lack of basic services and freedom, the totalitarian state refuses to relinquish control.

The Fruit Of Open Borders, Social Justice, And Anti-Zionism: The Horrifying Scenes Unfolding In France Were Entirely Predictable

France’s bloated welfare state, stagnant economy, and ideological hostility to assimilation have created enclaves of immigrants who, at best, do not feel they have any stake in French society; and at worst, are actively hostile to France and to Western civilization writ large. This has proven to be fertile ground for Islamists seeking to foment hostility to the French state, who have made common cause with the Left-wing radicals exacerbating these riots. And of course, the Islamists and antisemites who have deployed the atrocities of October 7 as a recruiting tool are using the so-called “protests” as an excuse for the premeditated destruction of synagogues and Jewish businesses.

The Original Marxist-Islamist Test: The Ideological Engine Behind The Iranian Revolution Is Setting Europe On Fire

Although the name Ali Shariati would not be familiar to most people, he was in many ways the ideological architect of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. Shariati was born in Iran but studied in Paris during the 1960s. It was during this time in a Western institution that Shariati developed a new theoretical approach to the combination of Marxism, existentialism (the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives) and Islam. Though he did not live to see the 1979 Revolution (he died in 1977), his writings mobilized a generation of revolutionaries.

The Primary Aim Of Islam Is Not To Convert… But To Conquer

With Paris burning, I’ve been thinking a lot about something I read ten years ago while doing research for The Hal Lindsey Report. I came across some things written by Dr. Peter Hammond, a South African missionary. He had made a study of ways Islam gains control of nations. Hal had also made an extensive study of Islam, especially when writing his book, The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad. Dr. Hammond’s straightforward warnings intrigued Hal. In that 2016 episode of Hal’s program, he quoted from Dr. Hammond’s book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam. “The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.”

A Perfect Storm Over France: The Red/Green Axis’ Destructive Agenda In Action

We are seeing a perfect storm over France and, to a certain extent—if not now, then very soon—over all of Western Europe. That storm is the Red/Green Axis destructive agenda in action. The French Extreme Left Party LFI (La France Insoumise) led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon has partnered with the large community of Muslims living in France–many of them born there and automatically considered as French citizens. Mr. Mélenchon knows that he will never become the French Président. All he wants is chaos, and more chaos, across all of France. This is the result of decades of open borders and immigration from North and West Africa.

A War Weary World: As Nation Rises Against Nation, The World Is Ripe For A Peacemaker

Israel, of course, is at the epicenter—with Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the ongoing threat from Iran. The United States is also facing off against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, with this global oil chokepoint still being restrained and escalation ready to break out at any moment. Iran is preparing for all-out war. Iranian leaders are making all kinds of bombastic threats, trying to deter a renewed large-scale assault by the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is threatening to use the “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) against the regime. Then you have all the crisis and chaos in Europe. It's being described as “horror.”

The Upheaval In France Is Knocking On America’s Door—The Midterms Determine Whether It’s Welcomed In

When political grievances become an excuse for destruction, Constitutional government must stand firm — or risk surrendering the streets to the mob. The scenes unfolding in France should serve as a warning to every American who values liberty, public order, and constitutional government. When thousands of demonstrators take to the streets, when political protests descend into looting and arson, and when historic public buildings become targets of mob violence, a nation must ask itself a fundamental question: Who is really in charge? The rule of law, the citizens and their elected representatives? Or the most aggressive factions willing to intimidate everyone else?

Snap Elections in Spain: Globalism vs. Patriots

Sánchez spoke of transformation during his address from the Moncloa Palace, the very place where he devised the current plan to regularize the status of over half a million undocumented immigrants in the country — many hailing from cultures antithetical to Western values. It is a move that, according to the patriotic party VOX, will bring about a “demographic, social, labor, and electoral transformation” without consulting the Spanish people.

Europe: Ready for the Antichrist

We’re seeing Europe’s globalists paving the way for the Antichrist. They are throwing out the welcome mat. No, the title of Antichrist doesn’t belong to bumbling Emmanuel Macron, but in 2016, even The Economist magazine was calling him Europe’s savior. How God humbles the proud. As the head of France, no European leader today should be as ashamed as Emmanuel Macron, who casually enjoyed a Celine Dion concert while policemen were on fire in Paris and elsewhere. Now the world knows he's no savior. But there is one standing by somewhere. He will rise from obscurity. There have been riots and demonstrations in Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and beyond, but began in mid-September in France.

The Scenes Of Chaos In France Are Shocking But Not Surprising

The absolute chaos and anarchy we are seeing in France is shocking, no doubt, but it's not surprising if you've been following what has been happening in Western Europe over the past two or three decades. During that time, many of us begged our European friends to secure their borders, to cut the mass Islamic migration, and preserve their culture, society, and civilization. They didn't listen. Now we see the bitter fruits. The wave of Islamists that descended upon the continent was met with a welcome mat—a prayer mat—rolled out by woke, weak European governments. Those Islamists are now aligning with leftists, Marxists, socialists, and communists—and there's no easy way out as this red-green alliance sweeps throughout Europe.

Abdul El-Sayed Says America Owes It To The World To ‘Open Our Doors,’ Allow Mass Immigration

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny over his immigration and domestic policy positions after a 2018 interview resurfaced showing him advocating for the US to welcome asylum seekers and refusing to commit state resources to federal immigration enforcement.

As Europe Crumbles, The United States And Israel Stand As The Two Nations Willing To Defend Their Civilization

The unholy red-green alliance is the main reason Europe is a basket case today. Mass civil unrest and civil war seem inevitable. There's no easy way out of the mess Europe's elites have created. They chose to import millions of Muslims, reject Christianity, and embrace socialism. Now the people of Europe are paying a very heavy price. Across the West, you see two nations willing to defend their civilization: the United States and Israel. Everything else in between, from Europe to Canada to Australia, is a mess.

Mr. Vice President: Socialism Was Never About ‘Prioritizing Workers’… It Was About Using Them As Cannon Fodder To Seize Power

Socialism — let’s be clear — was never really about prioritizing workers. It was merely about appealing to them in order to use them as cannon fodder to seize power, whether through violence or at the ballot box. Socialism is about taking from those who have worked, saved, and invested wisely, in order to give a portion to those whom socialists believe might become their voters. It’s about demonizing the ordinary man who is more concerned with providing for his family, saving, and raising them according to his principles — while exalting those who place the “cause” above all else. Socialism is about lying, killing, imprisoning, plundering, and exiling entire populations — if necessary — to maintain control. Those are the true fruits of a socialist system.

What Would Congress Look Like Under Democrat Socialist Policies? Look No Farther Than California

If voters are trying to imagine what the nation would look like under the socialist policies of a Democratic majority in Congress, look no farther than California. Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and the Democratic supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature offer an extensive list of policies flowing from the same socialist and Marxist ideology being championed by the ascendant wing of the Democratic Party.

Report: China Illegally Poaching Underwater Territory near Taiwan

“The United States should challenge Beijing’s unlawful maritime claims and back that challenge with action. China is using administrative demands, artificial island construction, and intimidation to establish control that international law does not grant it. Every concession makes the next demand easier. Undersea cables are critical national security infrastructure. They carry communications essential to commerce, government, and military operations. Allowing Beijing to decide who can install or repair those cables in waters beyond its lawful jurisdiction gives China dangerous leverage over its neighbors.”

FBI Arrests 18-Year-Old Named Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud For Plotting ISIS-Inspired Mass Shooting At Mall Of America

By July 2026, investigators say Mohamud had begun discussing an attack at the Mall of America. He allegedly told the confidential source that he wanted to purchase firearms and target the mall because he believed it was owned by Jews, saying he wanted to kill 30 to 60 people.

Government Censorship: When Digital ‘Safety Measures’ Become A Power Grab Targeting Freedom Of Speech

Because most major social media platforms are headquartered in the US, the Trump Administration argues that although the laws would be specific to Australia, they would project Australian safety standards onto American users. As part of the aforementioned statement dated 22 September 2026, the US Government went on to say: “If Australia compels platforms to aggressively filter content in algorithmic feeds to satisfy a government mandate, and such filtering draws in protected speech, the effect on a disfavored speaker or media source’s reach would not be meaningfully different than outright removal. The U.S. government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship.”

Terror Suspects Released on Bail Less Than 24 Hours After Plotting Bomb Attack Against US Forces In Britain

The men behind the plot have already been released on bail. Welcome to Great Britain, where the radical left has turned a once great nation into a global punchline. Folks, you can't make this stuff up. Get arrested for allegedly plotting to bomb an air base, and you're out on bail immediately. But if you publicly criticize Islam, preach the gospel on a street corner, or post something politically incorrect on social media, there are legions of left-wing bureaucrats in the UK who would love nothing more than to lock you up and throw away the key.

Sharia Law Is The Ideological Opposite Of Our Constitutional Republic

This election cycle has seen unlikely political unions solidify that have been years in the making. Until just recently, America’s Democratic Party would have had big problems with the human rights abuses of Islam. Even “tax and spend” liberals would have objected to today’s new Marxists’ calls for abolition of a free market economy, private property ownership, law enforcement and the criminalization of wealth accumulation. But Democrats, Muslim activists and Marxists now share at least four common foes. These onerous entities are Donald Trump and Constitutionalism (societally), and Christianity and Israel (spiritually).

The Decision On The Ballot This November: Will Americans Choose Freedom Or Slavery?

“The greatest thing that you can have in an election is high contrast,” Bachmann noted. “I have never in my lifetime seen a higher contrast than this fall with what the two different political camps in America are offering.” “Socialism has never worked anywhere. It's an abject failure. All socialism does is consume. It doesn't produce anything,” she emphasized. “Socialism is on the ballot… When you look at what it is that people have to choose from, it's freedom [vs enslaving ideologies].”

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? The United States, under President Trump, has been the firewall, an outpost of sanity, and a lone defender of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. That is all on the line on November 3rd, when Americans head to the polls and vote in the midterm elections.

‘Not Welcome’: In A Muslim-Majority Michigan City, Christians And Jews Are No Longer Being Treated As Equal Citizens, Lawsuit Warns

“What makes this case especially troubling is that City officials, up to and including the Mayor, responded to a citizen’s respectful request for equal treatment with silence, stonewalling, and outright hostility—including the Mayor’s own words telling a Christian resident he is ‘not welcome’ in his own city,” David Yerushalmi, an attorney on the case, said. “Our client is simply asking the City to treat Christians and Jews as equal citizens.”

An ‘AI Apocalypse’ Is Not Biblical… But That Doesn’t Mean Serious Danger Isn’t Looming

As correct as the President is about the erroneous proclamations of an “AI apocalypse”—and the substantial power that would come with America winning the “AI race”—he falls short in his own predictions by turning a deliberate blind eye to the technology’s very real dangers. At its current stage of development, AI has crossed very real ethical boundaries. It has never been so easy to disseminate lies, concoct fake images, publish false news stories, manipulate public perception of important—even religious—subjects, and much more. Add in obvious surveillance capabilities and how the technology is being ingrained into banking, military, and other vital systems, and you have a sure recipe for an alarming level of power.

Is The Artificial Intelligence Race Among The Nations Becoming As Strategic As Oil And Nuclear Technology?

The battle for artificial intelligence is becoming a battle for geopolitical power, and the infrastructure being built today could prepare the world for forms of control once unimaginable. For generations, students of Bible prophecy have asked a fascinating question: "How could one individual ever exercise influence over the entire world?" For most of history, such a system would have been technologically impossible. Today, that statement is becoming harder to make.

California Pastor Warns: Christian Apathy Is Enabling The Islamic ‘Culture War’ In America

“The reality is this—and it is quite convicting—Christians in America tend to fight for something until they lose. Muslims in America have come here to overrule the Constitution—they fight until they win... The Muslims are at war—a cultural war. They are probing our constitutional rights. Shariah law in Islamic jurisprudence is diametrically opposed to the constitutional republic government in which we live. Christians do not want to entertain that because it provokes them to get involved,” Hibbs stated, encouraging the church to fulfill the responsibility to be “watchmen of the wall and sound the alarm.”

9/11: 25 Years Later, Terrorist Sympathizers Have Been Accepted Into Mainstream American Politics

A new 9/11 is taking place in America. It is happening before our eyes. But it is so big and so terrible that our brains struggle to interpret what our eyes tell us. A cascading collapse is underway. The weak levels break first, but the catastrophe eventually crushes the entire edifice. It’s not a failure of our eyes. We can see what’s happening. The problem is that we have never seen anything like this. We don’t have a frame of reference quantifying the ongoing national destruction. Radical Muslim terrorists physically attacked the United States on 9/11. This time, terrorist sympathizers have been accepted into the mainstream of American politics.

I Remember When Americans Didn’t Have To Debate Whether Socialism Worked—We Watched People Escape From It

In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, I was working with the U.S. Department of State managing one of its Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program sites. Within months of the fall of the wall, we began training police officers and other security officials in the United States from former Eastern Bloc countries. I vividly recall greeting one of the groups and taking them to the grocery store on the way to the dormitories where they would be staying. Thirty-seven years ago, people who had lived under socialism came to America and wept when they saw an ordinary grocery store. Today, a generation with no memory of the repression behind the Iron Curtain increasingly votes for candidates promising socialism.

Tens Of Thousands Rally Across Spain Over Ceuta Migrant Crisis

Tens of thousands of Spaniards poured into streets and public squares across the country Wednesday, protesting the government’s handling of the migrant crisis in Ceuta and demanding stronger protection of Spain’s borders.

Then The Rains Came: Like The Days Of Noah, People Reject God’s Imminent Judgment

In Matthew 24:37-40, Jesus compared the time before His return to the “days of Noah.” The Lord’s comparison was not just with the evil of the world before the flood, but with the complete unawareness that judgment was imminent. They lived as though nothing could possibly interfere with their lives and future aspirations. Then the rains came.
