Russia found 1,000 rusty tanks in Siberia—they miss when they move, but it’s all that’s left
After 42 months of grueling fighting in Ukraine, Russia’s stocks of modern armored vehicles are low. So low, in fact, that Russian technicians are pulling out of long-term storage derelict tanks that, until now, were widely considered unfit for combat. Closely inspecting recent satellite imagery of Uralvagonzavod, the sprawling Russian tank plant in Nizhny Tagil 1,600 km from Ukraine, open-source analyst Jompy spotted something he’d long anticipated … “Just like that, there are a lot of likely T-72As parked in the yards outside UVZ now,”

Macron terrified of ever-increasing Muslim presence in France
Macron’s antisemitism helps explain his attitude to the state of Israel: “Macron’s choice: Stand with democracy, or allow Frech [sic] Jews to become political sacrifices … To this day, this pattern persists. Under slogans of “reconciliation” and “dialogue between peoples,” France has tightened its engagement with Islamic terrorist organizations, allowing them to operate openly – both diplomatically and on the streets of Paris. Macron, who publicly claims to oppose antisemitism, permits Hamas propaganda on university campuses, grants platforms to intellectuals advocating for boycotts of Israel, and cooperates with Islamist coalitions embedded in France’s educational, judicial, and security institutions.

Federal Judge Strikes Down California’s Unconstitutional Deepfake Law
I previously criticized the California law, called the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, as flagrantly unconstitutional. Signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the law would have gutted free speech protections for political parodies. Now, in Kohls v. Bonta, Senior U.S. District Judge John Mendez has rebuked the state for a law that he concluded had to be rejected in its entirety as flawed to its core: “No parts of this statute are severable because the whole statute is preempted. No parts of A.B. 2655 can be salvaged.”

The Real Victims Of Starvation In Gaza Are Being Ignored By Western Media—Because It Doesn’t Fit Their Anti-Jewish Agenda
While it is a blessing to have the opportunity to teach the word of God throughout the world, it always feels so good to be back home. As a Jew, this is the land that the Lord established for me, my family, and my people. When I am away, there is always a piece of my heart that longs to return to the place of God’s promise. Just looking at the immigration numbers, I know that I am not the only one who feels this way. In fulfillment of His prophecies in Ezekiel 36-37 and other places in Scripture, He is stirring the hearts of His people to return to the home He created for them. Now is the chance for them to come willingly. However, as time goes on and global antisemitism increases, Israel is going to more and more become the haven that Jews around the world flee to for safety. All this has been prophesied; all this is part of God’s great plan. The times are coming to a culmination. I pray that both Israel and the church are ready.

It’s Here. AI Has Already Put 300 Million Jobs At Risk: What Next?
Once upon a time, talk of AI stealing jobs from people was science fiction. Today, it’s real life. From graphic design and translation to copywriting and customer service, we have already seen how quickly automation can eat into work once done exclusively by humans. This trend is no longer a problem for the future – it’s already happening. What’s currently unfolding is not just a shift in productivity tools, but a total structural transformation in how the world economy functions. By 2030, the global workforce may look completely unrecognizable, with over 300 million jobs projected to be severely impacted or totally replaced in just the next few years.
