The Larger Agenda Behind The Promotion Of Lawlessness In America

Why are people losing their minds over the arrest of illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes? That question forces us to look deeper. This is not merely politics. There is a geopolitical and spiritual dimension driving what we are witnessing. When large numbers of people are brought into a country illegally, without assimilation or integration, while carrying ideologies such as Marxism, socialism, or Islamism, the goal is not compassion. It is destabilization. Borders erode. Law is delegitimized. National identity dissolves. Moral foundations collapse.

‘Terrorism And Radicalization Training’: College In Portland To Host Antifa Training

Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, is set to host a three-day event titled the Transformative Action and Abolition Symposium, “Bad Trouble,” running April 13 to April 15. The program is organized by the school’s Prison Abolition Club, which identifies with Antifa-aligned anarchist activism. It’s scheduled to bring together a mix of panels and workshops focused on protest strategy and organizing, reports The Post Millennial.

New DHS Head Weighs Shutting Down International Airports in ‘Sanctuary’ Cities

The new Homeland Security chief is considering taking action to bring “sanctuary” jurisdictions into line with federal law. In his first interview since taking over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested the possibility of revoking customs privileges at international airports in cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the federal government in enforcing federal immigration law. He asked, “If they’re a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?”

One Generation Away: A Nation’s Convictions Are Not Automatically Imparted, They Must Be Taught

What President Regan so wisely understood is that a nation’s beliefs, morals, and values are directly influenced and shaped by the ideologies and doctrines of the institutions that instruct and condition the intellect and reasoning of its citizens. Personal convictions and sentiments about that which one deems important don’t happen by chance and they aren’t automatically imparted from one generation to the next. They are taught.

Drone Swarm Triggers Lockdown At U.S. Nuclear Bomber Base In Louisiana

A swarm of unauthorized drones prompted a temporary lockdown at Barksdale Air Force Base earlier this month, raising fresh concerns about the vulnerability of America’s most sensitive military installations amid rising global tensions.

Student Suspended For Supporting ICE Agents

“It made me feel like the school wants to punish me and silence me just because administrators think my views are wrong,” the young man told Fox News Digital. “I’m glad the other students were allowed to share their anti-ICE views, but I have every [bit as] much right as they do to share my own. It felt especially unfair because some of their signs used swear words and other epithets while mine was very tame.”

Pope Claims That God ‘Rejects’ The Prayers Of Those Who Wage War — History And The Bible Disagree

Comments from Pope Leo XIV in a Palm Sunday homily are both puzzling and concerning. He stated, in part, that Jesus “rejects war” and does not listen to the prayers of those who wage it. Was the Allied effort in World War II — undertaken to stop Adolf Hitler and the atrocities of the Third Reich — contrary to the will of God? Were the prayers of leaders and soldiers, offered in humility and desperation, somehow rejected?

Communism: A Hideous Beast That Lures The Gullible And Devours Whole Nations

Capitalism has become the scapegoat for those who refuse to blame themselves for their problems, and for the problems that plague humanity. It is very attractive, but this kind of thinking is the juicy worm that covers the barbed hook. Once impaled, escape is difficult if not impossible.

‘A Key Milestone’: U.S. Reopens Venezuelan Embassy After Seven-year Closure

The U.S. shuttered its Venezuelan embassy in 2019, after a breakdown in diplomatic relations with the country. The U.S. would not recognize Maduro as the legitimate leader of Venezuela and diplomats were facing increasing hostility, including orders from Maduro to leave the country. Since 2019, the U.S. has carried out diplomatic engagement with Venezuela through a team operating from its embassy in Bogotá, Colombia.

The Age Of The ‘Useful Infidel’: Examining The Destructive Pact Between Progressive Liberalism And Political Islam

The West has lost its soul, its core beliefs, and its identity, which are undeniably rooted in its Judeo-Christian heritage. Alarmingly, much of the strongest hostility towards the West originates from within. The alliance between progressive liberalism and political Islam, entering a destructive pact, threatens the very foundations of what the West once represented. It aims to dismantle these foundations and reconstruct them in its own image. The “useful Infidels” believe they will create their progressive utopia, but the Islamists, I am confident, have other plans.

Islam Rising In The West: Ramadan 2026 Provided A Very Revealing Glimpse Of Where America Is Heading

Since January, America's largest city and financial capital has been run by an Islamo-Communist named Zohran Mamdani. He is an anti-Israel ideologue who has long had ties to notorious radical Islamists, and as mayor, he is wasting no time in showing who he is and what he represents. Ramadan was his coming-out party. Mamdani hosted a taxpayer-funded Ramadan Iftar dinner at City Hall, where one of the attendees, a guest of the mayor, held up the ISIS one-finger salute.

Muslims Desecrate 9-11 Memorials In California And New York

Muslims desecrated memorials to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and in Concord, California. The memorials were erected to remember the day that Muslims waged jihad on American soil and slaughtered nearly 3,000 of our fellow countrymen.

‘More Secure Than At Any Point In History’: ZERO Illegal Aliens Released Into USA For 10th Straight Month At Southern Border

CBP released a statement on Friday, noting that in February, the average number of daily apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol was lower than what agents at times encountered within a single hour during peak periods under the Biden regime.

Republican Senator Warns: ‘Islamists Want to Kill Every American… They Do Not Want To Assimilate’

The controversy erupted after Tuberville reposted a side-by-side image of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosting a Ramadan meal inside City Hall. The image included the caption: “The enemy is inside the gates.” The post surfaced just hours before news broke of terrorist attacks at Temple Israel and Old Dominion University.

A Turning Point In The Battle Against Global Jihad

Mark your calendar and remember the events of this month. March 2026 will go down as a turning point in the battle against global jihad. The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. There is concern that the regime could try to activate cells in the United States as well. March 2026 has already been a very memorable month for jihad in America, and for all the wrong reasons.

Jan Markell: Ten Prominent Markers Of Jesus’ Soon Return

A common question in the prophecy community as to our times is, “Why are we still here?” It’s a good question. With the rapid convergence of so many last days’ signs, we should be filled with hopeful expectation of Jesus’ return. In 2026, watch the following. They are just ten prominent markers as to how late it is.

Support For ‘Abolishing ICE’ Reaches Record High As Tensions Boil Over

This inconsistency further emphasizes the polarized debate at hand: many Americans support deporting those they believe should return home, yet a growing share wants to eliminate the main tool for doing so. Regardless, it stands to reason that both polls land at a particularly tense moment culturally.

Cartels Wreak Mass Havoc Across Mexico As President Smears ‘Right Wingers’ For Demanding Narco Terrorists Be Dealt With

On Sunday, the Mexican military killed a powerful drug cartel kingpin named El Mencho. His elimination comes as President Trump pressures Mexico to crack down on the cartels. To that end, US intelligence reportedly helped to locate El Mencho, who carried a $15 million US bounty on his head, and was a notorious trafficker of fentanyl into the United States.

The Unholy Alliance Between Islam And The Radical Left Is More Emboldened Than Ever

The mask is now off completely. As America marks the 250th anniversary of its founding, the unholy alliance between Islam and the radical left is becoming very bold, publicly proclaiming that they intend to take the United States in a new direction—from faith, family, and freedom to socialism, Sharia, and separation.

Our Culture Is Tearing Itself Apart Because It Rejects Authority

For those keeping score at home: to stop violence, it’s okay to commit violence. To prevent discrimination, it’s right to discriminate with force. To oppose authoritarianism, it’s necessary to enact a version of it. This logic is no logic at all. It’s a schoolboy revolution, a lunchroom fight in a ski-mask that’s oh-so chic. Do Christians, who reputedly follow an outdated authority, have any chance to be heard?

Billy Graham Rapid Response Chaplains Deploy After Devastating Tumbler Ridge Shooting

“This incident has sent shockwaves of horror and grief across the globe,” said Josh Holland, vice president of BG-RRT Global. “We mourn with every person affected by this tragedy. The Bible reminds us that the Lord offers compassion and comfort to those facing trouble. That is the message our crisis-trained chaplains carry as they minister and share the hope of Jesus Christ with a brokenhearted community.”

Board Of Peace: Behind The Language Of Reconstruction And Prosperity Lies A Very Real Danger

Its stated purpose is ambitious: transform Gaza into a modern, high-tech metropolis—an economic engine meant to replace war with development. But behind the language of reconstruction and prosperity lies a critical question prophecy watchers must ask: Is this structure truly protecting Israel—or is it positioning the nations to control Israel through internationalized “peace”?

Shaping Young Minds: UAE Cuts Scholarships To Study In The UK, Citing Radical Islamic Ideologies In British Universities

In January this year, the UAE made a shock announcement. It would no longer fund its young students to study abroad at universities in the United Kingdom. The decision was reported by multiple news outlets, each confirming the shocking reason for the pronouncement. An Emirati expert in strategic and political affairs, Amjad Taha, said, “The UAE will not send its students to become hostages of Islamist jihadist ideology disguised as campus activism” while studying in Britain.

Weaponized For Political Purposes: Students, Encouraged By ‘Educators,’ Stage Nationwide Anti-ICE Protest

From Washington State and Oregon to Texas and Georgia and everywhere in between, young people carried propaganda signs as they shrieked at passersby and demanded that drivers honk. One video from Oregon appeared to show Kindergarten children involved in the protest. Numerous schools pre-emptively cancelled classes so students could protest, according to news reports. 

What The Left Worships: Democrats Have An Industry Of Making Saints Out Of Violent Criminals

The story that the legacy media would have us believe about Alex Pretti is that he was a peaceful protester, an observer, a caring nurse incapable of hurting a fly. New video now proves that all of what the media has been telling you isn't true. Verified video footage taken eleven days prior to the deadly confrontation with Pretti shows that he was looking for a provocation days before he brought a loaded weapon and obstructed a federal law enforcement operation.

Don Lemon, Other Activists Arrested for Disrupting Church Service in St. Paul

Our First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, assembly, speech and to petition the government. But the First Amendment also protects freedom of religion – our First Freedom, and it does not give activists the right to invade a church and disrupt worshippers exercising that freedom. In fact, federal law (under the FACE Act) prohibits it.

Minnesota Is Not An Outlier; It Is A Case Study Of What Happens When Institutions Abondon Moral Restraints

Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The real cause is less obvious because it is far removed from the tragic events we see today in the headlines. It can be traced back decades to what was called the long march through the institutions — a phrase coined in the late 1960s by Marxist student leader Rudi Dutschke. The phrase deliberately echoed Mao Zedong’s Long March, but Dutschke’s was not a military campaign. It was a cultural and ideological one, measured in decades rather than battles.

The Fruit Of Communism And The Epidemic Of Hopelessness In China

This should be taken as a warning to Western nations as well. Communism and socialism are not the answers to the world’s problems. Since those world systems are incompatible with Christianity, they produce hopelessness while at the same time destroying the family. And sadly, there are politicians implementing socialism in the USA! It will be a disaster here as it has been everywhere else it’s been tried. So what is the solution to this epidemic of hopelessness in China?

Working To Reshape America’s Worldview: Is Social Media Creating Islamic Terrorists?

Neither of these individuals appeared to have been raised in Muslim households nor were recent immigrants. And yet, they were allegedly drawn into plans to support IS solely through online interactions. As Hankinson emphasized, they echo earlier figures like Zachary Chesser, the suburban Virginia convert who, post-high school, embraced radical Islam via blogs, websites, and eventual real-world ties. And what stands out today is the shift: radicalization increasingly requires no physical community, no visit to a mosque, no face-to-face recruitment… Screens alone suffice.

Is Sharia Law Compatible With The U.S. Constitution Or Biblical Values?

The U.S. Constitution is grounded in the idea that government power must be limited and that individual rights come from God, not the state. The First Amendment protects religious liberty by forbidding the establishment of any religion while guaranteeing free exercise. Sharia law directly contradicts this principle because it is a religious legal code that merges faith and government. Where Sharia is enforced, religious belief is regulated and Islamic law is elevated above civil law. A system that mandates religious obedience cannot coexist with a Constitution that protects freedom of conscience.

Viral Video Shows Anti-ICE Agitators Interfering With Arrest Of Child Sex Offender In Minnesota

Federal immigration officers faced interference during an arrest operation in Minnesota after a viral video showed bystanders disrupting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as they attempted to take an alleged child sex offender into custody.

Jan Markell: The Spirit Of The Antichrist Reigns Again In My Hometown

Minneapolis saw it in 2020 with George Floyd, and lo and behold, that same spirit reigns again in my hometown. This time, the accused are ICE agents doing their job. And well. The Antichrist won’t have to rent-a-mob—and be assured, many rioters are hired guns making good wages. When he reigns, much of the world will be lawless, godless, tumultuous, and confused. Antifa will be the normal! Anti-ICE demonstrations will be mild in comparison.

Trump Warns He May Invoke Insurrection Act as Minnesota Protests Turn Violent, ICE Officers Attacked

With unrest continuing and local officials refusing to cooperate, President Trump signaled that restoring law and order remains a top priority. “All they have to do is enforce the law and tell the radicals to stand down,” one senior administration official said. “If they won’t, the federal government will.”
