God Is in Control
We all think we are in control. We are not. God is in control. Sometimes, it washes over you, almost knocks you over. It is also consoling. On a recent trip to DC, God’s all-knowing hit me hard again. Entering that DC airport, a strong feeling, powerful. It was specific and out of nowhere. You are
on a no-name airline. If any plane is hijacked today, it will not be yours.
US reportedly strikes Islamic State targets in Syria
Today, 11:59 pm The US military launched airstrikes against several Islamic State targets in Syria on Friday, The New York Times reports, citing a US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

IMPEACHMENT MADNESS: Democrats Prove They Have No Real Interest in Governing
flimsy pretexts the Democrats used to impeach President Trump twice during his first term. Indeed, the second impeachment was so absurd that Chief Justice John Roberts refused to preside over the Senate trial. Moreover, it is manifestly obvious that the Democrats still suffer from impeachment fever. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) has already introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump twice during the first year of his second term, and 140 Democrats voted in favor of impeachment only one week ago.

‘From the river to the sea’ chant is antisemitic, says France’s human rights envoy
Some chants routinely heard at anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protests around the world are antisemitic, said France’s human rights ambassador, two days after 15 people were killed in a shooting attack at a Sydney Hanukkah event. “‘From the river to the sea.’ We consider that to have an antisemitic purpose,” Isabelle Lonvis-Rome told The Times of Israel during an interview in Jaffa. “That’s clear.”
Top constitutional lawyer warns against Liberal bills that could turn Canada into ‘police state’
One of Canada’s top constitutional legal experts has warned that freedom in the nation is “dying slowly” because of a host of laws both passed and now proposed by the Liberal federal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying it is “up to citizens” to urge lawmakers to reverse course. “How did the United Kingdom end up arresting thousands of its citizens (more than 30 per day) over their Facebook, X, and other social media posts? This Orwellian nightmare was achieved one small step at a time. No single step was deemed worthy of fierce and effective opposition by British citizens,” he warned.
Operation Narnia – Israel’s secret plan to eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons program
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump began planning their joint strikes on Iranian nuclear sites during Netanyahu’s February visit to the White House.

Christmas is coming back to Israel, and that matters more than tourism

IDF reveals stunning details of operation to capture captain of Hezbollah’s ‘terror boat’ project
Over a year after Israeli forces captured a Hezbollah terrorist in one of the most daring raids of the war, the Israel Defense Forces published new information highlighting the importance of the capture of sea captain Imad Amhaz. Amhaz had been seized from his bed by Israeli commandos from the elite Shayetet 13 unit – often compared to the U.S. Navy SEALS – in the town of Batroun, about 140 km (87 miles) north of the Israeli border, in a raid dubbed “Operation Behind the Back.”
Rubio: No peace if Hamas retains the ability to attack Israel
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a press conference on Friday that the United States will not commit to specific terms of a Hamas disarmament plan but emphasized that any arrangement must ensure the terror group cannot threaten Israel. Asked whether Washington could accept Hamas’s reported willingness to surrender its heavy weapons while retaining lighter ones, Rubio said, “I’m not going to get into the details of those types of negotiations.”
US to move ahead with Gaza governance board and stabilization force, Rubio says
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that a new governance structure for Gaza, made up of an international board and a group of Palestinian technocrats, would be in place soon, followed by the deployment of foreign troops, as the US hopes to cement a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Rubio, speaking at a year-end news conference, said the status quo was not sustainable in Gaza,

Franklin Graham Delivers Message At Pentagon’s First-Ever ‘Christmas Worship Service’

Justice Department Quietly Reverses Clinton-Era Rule On Immigrant Welfare Benefits
Earlier this week, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel quietly reversed a Clinton-era legal opinion that had sharply limited when immigrants could be denied federal welfare benefits. The earlier interpretation narrowed the law so much, critics say, that it allowed many immigrants – including some who were not lawfully eligible – to continue receiving benefits Congress intended to restrict. The new DOJ opinion restores a broader reading of the law, potentially expanding waiting periods for benefits, strengthening sponsor repayment requirements, and closing loopholes that have existed since the late 1990s.
Trump Halts Diversity Green Card Lottery After Brown, MIT Shootings Trace To Non-Citizen
President Trump ordered the suspension of the U.S. green card diversity lottery after federal investigators said the suspect in the Brown University shooting and the killing of an MIT nuclear scientist was a non-citizen who entered the country through the program. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in an X post late Thursday that, at Trump’s direction, she had ordered U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program. “In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people,” Noem noted.
Coast-to-coast storm with 232 km/h (144 mph) gusts leaves 1 dead, 2 injured across Northwest and Rockies
A powerful windstorm with gusts reaching 232 km/h (144 mph) battered parts of the Pacific Northwest and Rockies this week, leaving one dead, two injured, and hundreds of thousands without power by December 18, 2025. The deep low-pressure system continues moving east toward the northern Plains and Midwest, sustaining severe winds and wildfire risks.
The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Pummeled by Trillions of Gallons of Rain, Wind Speeds of up to 144 Mph, and Flooding That Will Close Roads for Months
The slow-motion disaster that we are witnessing on the west coast is unlike anything we have ever seen before. A series of atmospheric rivers has already dumped trillions of gallons of water on the region, and trillions of gallons of additional water will fall before the end of the year. This has caused some rivers to rise to the highest levels that we have ever seen. Meanwhile, some areas in the Northwest have been repeatedly pummeled by extremely high winds. As you will see below, some of the wind speeds that have been recorded are difficult to believe. For a long time I have been warning my readers that weather patterns have been going nuts all over the globe, but of course many people will never be convinced until it actually happens where they live. For tens of millions of Americans that live along the west coast, a wake up call has finally arrived.

Wow, New York City, you sure did elect a winner to be your next mayor.

Tennessee Christmas Parade Blocks Participation Of Gay Pride Group

The public, no longer fearing reprisals from the cancel culture mob, are finally saying no.
DOJ Releases Epstein Files, More to Come on “Rolling Basis” – The New American
The Justice Dept released to the public and posted hundreds of thousands of Epstein File documents to the agency website today. But the release doesn’t comply with the law Congress passed — and President Trump signed — requiring their release by Dec. 19. In a letter to Congress, Deputy Attorney General Blanche explained that DOJ will release more documents on a “rolling” basis, and that collating and vetting all the documents that can legally be released with respect to privilege or classification wasn’t possible within the law’s 30-day time frame.

Democrat Rep Seth Moulton Admits His Party Is ‘Out Of Touch.’
Moulton said Democrats largely ignored many issues facing the country throughout former President Biden’s administration, including immigration, which led Americans to largely have negative views of the party. A national survey from Quinnipiac University found that a record-low 18% of voters approved of how congressional Democrats were handling their jobs.
