House to Probe Sharia Law During Hearing

New AI-Driven U.S.–China War Game Was So Accurate the Trump Administration Asked for Redactions
A new report from the Heritage Foundation analyzing a potential conflict between the United States and China was so precise—and so unsettling—that the Trump administration requested portions of it be redacted before public release, even though the analysis relied entirely on publicly available information. The report underscores not only the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern war planning but also the sobering reality that the U.S. military faces structural weaknesses that could prove decisive in a high-intensity conflict with Beijing. The AI model drew on more than 7,000 open-source government, academic, industry, and commercial data points to assess both U.S. and Chinese vulnerabilities. Its findings are stark. In most high-intensity scenarios, the first 30 to 60 days of conflict determine the war’s long-term outcome.

Wargame reveals Germany would freeze as Russia seizes Lithuanian territory in three days

The exercise, whose result was reported by Die Welt, involved 16 former senior officials and security experts. It is the first public wargame of its kind in Germany. For Kyiv, the implications cut deep: if Berlin hesitates to fight for a NATO member with a binding Article 5 guarantee, what does that say about security pledges to Ukraine—a country with no such treaty protection? “We discovered that their reaction would not be adequate to defend NATO.”

Red Heifer Ashes Used in Purification Ritual, Claims Activist

Iranian Politician’s Purim Threat Against Trump: Destined to End Like Haman
The threat was not delivered in the shadows or through anonymous channels. It came openly, from the floor of Iran’s parliament, issued by Hamidreza Haji Babaei, the deputy speaker of the Majlis, and it named its target without ambiguity. Babaei warned that any new American “mistake” against Iran would be met with a “decisive” response, adding a chilling promise: “In about a month, we will recite the funeral prayer for Trump, the United States, and their allies.” The timing of the statement, the identity of the speaker, and the precision of the language elevate this beyond routine Iranian bluster and place it firmly in the category of an explicit threat against the sitting president of the United States.
But it also links it to Purim

According to Rabbi Eliyahu, the number of Arabs visiting the Temple Mount is now down by half.
Rabbi Eliyahu said that the Arab official claimed that Jews bowing on the ground on on the Temple Mount caused less Arabs to visit the site. “The reason is that you started bowing on the ground to the Holy One, Blessed Be He.

How Did Democrats Get So Stupid?
That there are so many ignorant enough to follow the political left over the cliff isn’t a shock; public schools in Democrat-controlled cities have essentially been “ignorant factories” for decades. Manufacturing a mis-educated voting base is the surest way to ensure uninterrupted power, and it beats having to try to argue in favor of the garbage Democrats advocate for.
