ECHOES OF EXCEPTIONALISM: Refusing to Live by Lies
In Moscow, Russia, on August 19, 1991, history arrived on a gray morning in a steady late-summer rain in the form of a column of tanks moving through ordinary Moscow traffic. Morning radio news announced that Mikhail Gorbachev had been removed as the leader of the Soviet Union for health reasons. A self-appointed State Committee for the State of Emergency claimed authority. Under Gorbachev’s reforms—glasnost, meaning “openness”—the truth began to surface for the first time in decades. Censorship loosened. Previously banned books reappeared. Small reform movements independent of the Communist Party began to speak openly. The air, previously heavy with suspicion and fear, became lighter. And then the tanks came. When people demand liberty, communism answers with tanks.

Trump can continue White House ballroom construction for now, says Roberts; Trump says grateful
“We are grateful,” Trump writes on Truth Social. The controversial construction has previously been stopped by an appeals court, which said Congress must first approve the ballroom. In his post, Trump now refers to it as a “military/ballroom complex” that is “so critical to national security.” It is a shift, with him increasingly talking about it as a military facility, with large underground spaces and drones on the roof, rather than a mere ballroom.

“Nixonmaxxing” – Did Trump Revive 37th President’s Legacy?
In one of the most curious political developments of the last several years, President Richard Nixon is making one more comeback – and young conservatives, many of whom weren’t even born when he died, are leading the charge. In one, Nixon declares, “America is great because her people are great,” while Guns N Roses’ “Sweet Child o’ Mine” swells in the background. Another montage of Nixon campaign footage is set to “The Largest,” a 2024 track from rapper “BigXthaPlug” – something that the famously stiff Nixon hardly could’ve imagined. Across Instagram, YouTube, and X, Gen-Z conservative content creators are setting Nixon speeches to rap and rock songs. Nixon waxes wise about America, its responsibilities in an increasingly dangerous world, the perils of communism, media lies, and how one should navigate the ups and downs of life.

Turkey Issues Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu as Israel’s Relations With Ankara Hit New Lows
Turkey issues an international arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel’s prime minister responds by calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an “anti-Semitic dictator.” Relations between the two countries have reached new lows. The arrest warrant announcement on Friday came from Turkey’s Justice Minister Akin Gurlek on X. Turkey is investigating Israel’s efforts to stop ships carrying civilians that tried to reach the population of war-torn Gaza during the war between Hamas and Israel, with Hamas designated a terrorist group.

Iranian President says it is time to end the war with the US
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says it is time to end the war with the United States because Iran has the upper hand. “It is better that we end the war now when we are in a position of strength and dignity and when the whole world recognizes our victory,” Pezeshkian said during a meeting on Friday. The president also said that the United States is “hated around the world.

Canada: Man buys drugs from a pharmacy to be euthanised by MAiD in a funeral home
a 26-year-old Ontario man was killed by Medical Assistance in Dying (“MAiD”) after travelling to Vancouver to be euthanised Dr. Ellen Wiebe at a funeral home. Wiebe, who is renowned for administering MAiD, decided that he was eligible for murder because he was depressed. The victim was given a prescription for a list of non-FDA-approved drugs, which he purchased from a pharmacy, and then paid a fee to use the funeral home facility where he was killed. It’s worth noting that among the drugs supplied was midazolam. The same drug used in the UK for “covid” patients during the “pandemic.”

Grand Jury Declines to Indict Man Caught on Camera Destroying Flock Pole
If this isn’t an indictment on America’s hatred of Flock cameras, we don’t know what is. On Wednesday, a grand jury in Ohio refused to bring felony charges against a Clermont County man accused of destroying a Flock automatic license plate reader (ALPR). The prosecution’s case seemed iron-clad … Despite the evidence against him, the jury declined to indict Morelock, resulting in all charges being dropped.

Iranian cleric says smell of ‘burned flesh’ still lingers near late supreme leader’s compound
An Iranian Shiite cleric said the smell of “burned flesh” still lingers near the compound of Iran’s late supreme leader, according to video circulated by Iranian media and shared Friday by Iran International. “Someone told me that when you go near the Supreme Leader’s compound, you can still smell burned flesh. I went there myself and found it was true

Swedish minister of Arab descent faces threats after wearing Star of David
Swedish Minister of Education and Integration Simona Mohamsson is facing online threats and hate messages after wearing a Jewish Star of David during a televised election debate this week in a show of solidarity with Swedish Jews facing rising antisemitism. Mohamsson, 31, is of Arab Muslim descent but identifies as an atheist. Her decision to wear the Jewish symbol has drawn particular attention as she has become an outspoken critic of antisemitism in Sweden, including within the country’s political left. Sweden is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections in September.

Egypt reportedly tells US: Hamas disarmament plan cannot advance under current Israeli government
Senior Egyptian officials reportedly told Trump administration officials that efforts to disarm Hamas cannot advance under Israel’s current government and would have to await the formation of a new government following Israel’s Oct. 27 election, Ynet News reported. The Egyptian officials reportedly argued that policies pursued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government are strengthening Hamas.

China Firmly Rejects US Demand To Back Its ‘Most Crushing Economic Operation’ Against Iran
China has firmly rejected Washington’s call to join in implementing US sanctions to “squash” Iran’s economy, pushing back against Trump administration pressure to be part of the “toughest sanctions in history” which has marked a new phase of conflict focused on extended economic warfare, Bessent had on Thursday told CNBC: “It is a one-two punch. We have ​the blockade (on Iran), and we are going to have the toughest sanctions in history.” He then vowed, “It is going to work in Iran and we are going to collapse this ⁠regime.”

US Treasury Classifies Hezbollah As Arm Of The IRGC, Not A ‘Stand-Alone’ Group
The new US Treasury sanctions on Hezbollah unveiled Thursday do more than ever before in ‘legally’ classifying the Lebanese militant group as essentially an arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Treasury action – which is certainly not the first designation against the group – underscored that it operated in “service to the Iranian regime under the command of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

Mass Casualties As Russian Drones Slam Into Mall In Zelensky’s Hometown
At least 15 have been killed and 121 injured after a Friday afternoon apparent Russian drone strike on a busy shopping call in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, regional officials say. Casualty numbers could grow amid ongoing search and rescue efforts at the scene. Some of the injured are in serious condition. President Zelensky quickly issued a statement on the attack which was carried out on his own hometown, calling it “cynical and despicable” and underscoring that it was “an ordinary shopping center”.

A New Front in the North: Israel Confronts a Nuclear Threat From the Terrorist Turned Diplomat
Israel now faces the prospect of a new and unfamiliar danger on its northern border: several tons of nuclear material remaining inside Syria, in the custody of a government whose president has declared his intention to pursue a nuclear program, and who Washington itself was hunting under a ten-million-dollar bounty less than a decade ago.

Mike Rogers Senate Campaign in Michigan gets boost from Democrats
The Michigan Senate race is drawing attention not only because of the candidates involved, but because of the voters crossing party lines. Republican candidate Mike Rogers recently held a press conference in Detroit with supporters who identify as Democrats. Their message was straightforward: They may still call themselves Democrats, but they no longer feel represented by today’s Democratic Party. Among those speaking was Michigan state Representative Karen Whitsett, who said she was a lifelong Democrat until March, when she decided the party had moved too far away from her values. Whitsett focused much of her criticism on Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his support for eliminating private health insurance in favor of a Medicare for All system. Her warning was blunt. “If you enjoy going to the ER now and sitting for six hours,” Whitsett said, “get ready to enjoy that a whole lot longer, because you may be sitting there for six weeks.”

Female Muslim convert charged with planning massive bomb attack on NY State Capitol
Jessica Bowie, a 35-year-old woman who converted to Islam, appeared in federal court on charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS after authorities accused her of planning to bomb the New York State Capitol, kill state senators and then flee to ISIS-controlled territory in Syria. “I want to destroy as much of the building as possible and kill the senators while they are meeting.

An Emboldened Iran: What Is Driving The Regime’s Confidence And What Happens Next?
The regime in Iran is entirely indifferent to its country’s economy and people. They would rather see a total implosion of their nation than wave the white flag of defeat.This mentality stems from the regime’s eschatological position of Shiite Islam. They believe that their “Mahdi” will come at a time when the world is in utter chaos—and they revel in the idea that they can help usher in that chaos. How do you negotiate with people who hold to such a warped ideology? The simple answer is, you don’t. President Trump is learning that firsthand.

Iranian oil offers to Chinese buyers fall as US blockade bites, sources say
Offers of Iranian crude to Chinese buyers have declined and prices have jumped this week as the US blockade has cut Tehran’s shipments, according to trade sources, with the threat of more sanctions from Washington looming.

PHOTOS: Archeologists May Have Found Lost Egyptian City with Ties to Biblical Exodus
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities recently announced the discovery during an excavation of Tell Abu Siefi in northeastern Egypt that may be the city of Mesen. Archeologists uncovered a stone beam, also referred to as a lintel, featuring the name of the Egyptian ruler, Ramses (or Rameses) II, who has been linked to Moses.

‘Responsible for the World’s Problems’: Israel Has Truly Become ‘The World’s Jew’
The late David Bar-Illan was a brilliant Israeli pianist, journalist, & adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu. In the 1990s, he proclaimed what many in the West still refuse to admit: “Israel itself has become the world’s Jew.” Israel isn’t merely criticized like any other nation. It is singled out, defamed, and condemned with unique fierceness.

At Least 24K Noncitizens Cast Ballots in 2020: Census Bureau
A new report from the Census Bureau says over 24,000 noncitizens voted in the 2020 election. The head of the agency believes the real number is higher—much higher. And one particular West Coast state notched a far higher number of noncitizen voters than all the others.

Preach! Fearless Black Christian Pastor Unleashes Righteous Anger on Dearborn City Council Over Sharia: ‘We Are Not a Nation of Muslims!!’

New York Jihad: Female Convert to Islam Plots ISIS-Linked Bombing of State Capitol After Cheering 9/11 Terror Attacks
A white female convert to Islam who praised 9/11 was arrested before she could blow up New York’s Capitol in Albany using a bomb in a DoorDash bag. The media quietly restored her birth name to distance the attack from Islam. She said, “Blowing kafirs [non-Muslims] brains out is beautiful.” Welcome to the Religion of Peace.

UK government’s booklet for “asylum seekers” is an admission that whistle-blowers were right all along
UK Home Office published a booklet to give to “asylum seekers,” saying rape is a crime in the UK. This serves as an admission that whistle-blowers & others persecuted by the state for speaking out about crimes committed by people from specific cultures/ethnic groups aren’t racist but speak the truth – a truth the Gov’t doesn’t want you to know.

Quebec’s ‘Blow to Islam’ Con That Will Spread Everywhere
How the State Uses Islamic Provocations to Justify Restricting All Religion. A video circulating online presents Quebec, Canada’s new secularism law as a rare and necessary victory.

"Share in the Blessings and Rewards that will last Forever!"

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey
