Iranian exile in Israel envisions ‘King Cyrus Project’ for Middle East peace
From his apartment on Cyrus Street in the center of Jerusalem — a location he calls “destiny” — Daniel Dana, an Iranian-born priest and lawyer, whose life story reads like an extraordinary novel, speaks with unwavering optimism about the future of Iran-Israel relations despite the turmoil in his homeland. Dana, a Christian priest with Jewish roots, who has lived in Israel for over three decades and works extensively with the Iranian diaspora community, told The Press Service of Israel he believes the Islamic Republic’s days are numbered. Moreover, he envisions a transformed Middle East built on what he calls the “King Cyrus Project” — a Persian complement to the Abraham Accords. “The Abraham Accords between Israel and Persian Gulf countries will be perfected with a new project between Iran and Israel, we call it the King Cyrus project,”
‘P Diddy’ trial: the Religious Right was correct about the evils of the entertainment industry
For decades, mocking the “moral panics” of the Religious Right has been a favorite pastime of progressives. The squares with their old-fashioned hair, prim language, and schoolmarm warnings about sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll who decried the insidious influence of the entertainment industry have been sneered at as only losers can be. Even many Christians hasten to embrace cultural relevance and assert that they are not as puritanical as their clear-eyed but unpopular predecessors.

Senator Grassley reveals the FBI suppressed evidence of China meddling in 2020 election
The FBI declassified and provided requested records to Grassley after the senator received whistleblower information about the matter. Emails show that on Sept. 25, 2020, the FBI’s field office in Albany, New York, recalled an intelligence report that showed potential Chinese election interference.

The House passed the big, beautiful bill, which means the Trump tax cuts are made permanent, illegals are kicked off Medicaid, and the immigration enforcement agenda is fully funded.

Israel is now ready to discuss a comprehensive framework for an end to the war in Gaza, … First time Israel is ready to discuss agreement for final end to the war
Is the media secretly rooting for Hamas?
Why would anyone do the bidding of cold-blooded, savage terrorists who are not above slaughtering their own people?

Iranian leadership issues death warrants for Trump, Netanyahu
Iran’s clerical leadership recently issued two new fatwas—or religious edicts—authorizing the assassination of President Donald Trump and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, deeming them enemies of Islam.

The Anti-Israel Mob Never Mentions Women’s Rights in Israel — Compared to the Middle East
In parts of the Middle East, women still live in deeply patriarchal, often brutal systems. Changes exist more on paper than in practice. Power remains in the hands of men, religious systems, and political elites — and this repressive treatment often goes unchallenged. This happens in places like Gaza under Hamas, in Afghanistan under the Taliban, in Iran under the ayatollahs, and even in Saudi Arabia, where “reforms” like women driving made headlines in 2018.

Fracking Is America’s (Not So) Secret Weapon
America’s shale revolution and ascension to the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer has made one fact abundantly clear: energy security is national security. No longer are geopolitical and national security decisions held hostage to the threat of energy price spikes. Because of oil from Texas and natural gas from Appalachia, Americans aren’t facing the energy supply shocks that were once guaranteed to follow rising Middle East tensions.

We Need To Talk About Why The Dollar Is Dying And How The Employment Numbers Are Being Manipulated
Why can’t we just be objective about the economic numbers? When Joe Biden was in the White House, many Republicans (including Donald Trump) used the word “fake” to describe the economic numbers that the federal government was putting out. And as I documented extensively throughout the Biden administration, the rosy economic numbers that we were getting from the federal government certainly diverged greatly from reality. But now that Biden is out of the White House, we are suddenly supposed to believe that the federal economic numbers that are being calculated by the exact same people as before are somehow legit? Come on.
