F-ck it, I’m saying it” — have drawn widespread criticism. Both U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison have appeared on Piker’s show this year.

Archaeologists Discover a Hidden Massive Underground Tunnel in Jerusalem, and No One Knows Who Dug It
A large underground tunnel has been uncovered during excavations near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel in Jerusalem, leaving archaeologists without clear answers. At first, archeologists believed they had encountered a natural cavity in the rocky terrain. As the research progressed, the opening revealed itself to be something much larger: a passage extending roughly 50 meters (164 feet) through solid rock. The discovery has attracted attention not for what researchers have uncovered, but for what remains unknown: no artifacts, no datable material, and no clear indication of the tunnel’s purpose. Adding to the mystery, several sections remain blocked by collapse

China’s Crackdown On Online Foreign Trades Will Increase Capital Flight
The regime in China imposed a crackdown against three online brokers that serve mainland Chinese clients by facilitating their foreign securities trades. The crackdown worries the Hong Kong financial industry with the threat of harming liquidity, initial public offerings (IPOs), and cross-border capital flows in the world’s top capital market for the first quarter of 2026. An estimated $1 trillion of “hot money” seeking short-term investments in high-interest assets flowed out of China in 2025.

Tulsi Gabbard To Go Nuclear On Deep State Before Leaving ODNI
Last week, Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, announced she will step down on June 30 to care for her husband, Abraham, who has been diagnosed with what she called “an extremely rare form of bone cancer.” Gabbard has moved aggressively to overhaul the intelligence community, trying to root out the politicization and corruption, including exposing the deep state’s war on President Trump. Gabbard revoked the security clearances of officials found to have “abused public trust,” shut down DEI programs across the intelligence community, and redirected its focus toward foreign terrorist organizations. Gabbard also prioritized transparency, and by May 2026, Gabbard had overseen the declassification of more than 500,000 pages of previously secret government documents. Those documents span an almost surreal range of American history: assassination records on President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.; files connected to Amelia Earhart’s 1937 disappearance; and Biden administration documents detailing the federal government’s “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.” Gabbard plans to release findings from a string of sensitive investigations in weekly installments.

DM Katz says Israel will continue to pursue ‘voluntary emigration’ plan for Gaza, Hamas will not rule enclave
Israel will implement a voluntary emigration plan for Palestinians wishing to leave the Gaza Strip, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday morning. In a post to social media confirming the death of Hamas military commander Mohammed Odeh, Katz said that Israel still intends to implement a voluntary emigration policy in Gaza, something several members of the coalition government have been pushing for since shortly after the start of the Gaza War.

New Hamas military head killed in Gaza strike 11 days after predecessor eliminated
The new head of the Hamas terror group’s military wing in Gaza was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday evening, the IDF and Shin Bet domestic intelligence announced on Wednesday morning.

What hangs in the balance of this bureaucratic reshuffling is the physical evidence of Jewish civilization stretching back three thousand years. These sites are the stage on which the entire narrative of the Jewish people unfolds.

The countdown has begun: A conversation with Rabbi Elie Mischel, Part 1
The week Rabbi Elie Mischel’s new book Countdown: American Jews and God’s Plan for Redemption was published, a Democratic congressional candidate in Texas named Maureen Galindo finished first in her primary after proposing to imprison American Zionists for treason. Rabbi Mischel, who left America five years ago to raise his family in the biblical heartland of Judea, was not surprised. He had seen it coming. I sat down with him to talk about his book, the moment American Jews find themselves in, and why he believes the antisemites now threatening Jewish life in America are, unwittingly, doing God’s work.

Hamas confirms that Israeli airstrikes killed its new military leader in Gaza City

Democratic lawmakers and party figures are escalating criticism of Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee in Maine’s US Senate race, as questions mount over past statements, alleged antisemitic associations, and a tattoo that critics say resembled a Nazi symbol. After Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ decision not to enter the race against Sen. Susan Collins, a renewed debate arose within Democratic circles over whether Platner is a viable candidate.

One man left: Meet Imad Aqel, the last surviving Hamas commander from October 7
Israel has now killed every senior Hamas military figure who orchestrated the October 7 massacre, except one. His name is Imad Aqel, and almost nobody has heard of him. That obscurity may be exactly what has kept him alive. The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed Wednesday morning the assassination of Hamas’s brand new military chief Mohammed Odeh, killed in Gaza City on Tuesday night, just 11 days after his predecessor Izz al-Din al-Haddad was eliminated on May 15.

American Women Must Reject Silence and Oppose Islamic Ideology
On August 17, 2021, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid promised the Taliban would honor women’s rights “within norms of Islamic law.” Most people would applaud such a statement, even without knowing what “norms of Islamic law” meant. Surely it must mean something good, because isn’t Islam peaceful and Muslim women equal to Muslim men?….. NO & NO.

Trump’s emerging Iran deal forces Israel to seek guarantees, not victory
The apparent contours of the agreement, understood mostly based on anonymous accounts from Washington, Tehran, and Jerusalem, raised Israeli concerns that Trump was preparing to settle for far less than the US-Israeli campaign against Iran originally set out to achieve.

The greatly memorialized human figures of earth’s history speak to whom man believes is in charge of life upon the planet. Nimrod is the first individual to be thus lifted to “deity” status by the people of the post-antediluvian era.

Those who created the stories of humankind’s rise from that Tower of Babel time seem to have used Nimrod to create the legend of Gilgamesh in Mesopotamian legend. Their historical proximity seems logical to their linkage, but there is no known historical evidence that Nimrod and Gilgamesh were one and the same.

We can be certain that one was a living being. Nimrod is chronicled in God’s Word, while Gilgamesh is a demigod of legend.

From that post-Flood beginning and forward into the progression of history, the earth has been a record of greatly exalted individuals–mostly men—as history has unfolded over the millennia.

Kings, potentates, monumental military leaders, and masters of the world’s governments continue to rule, with many such holding near absolute power over horrendous dictatorships.

The American experiment in liberty cannot be considered anything other than unique in the annals of humankind and the restrictions imposed upon the masses of our planet.

Plato’s Republic was an early, but merely a literary, effort to frame a just and thriving governance under which humanity could live. But it was the framers of the United States Constitution who have come the closest to implementing such a magnificently proposed government.

To this point in this commentary, only human governance has been dissected. All of history’s preeminent, exalted individuals can be looked at as positioned upon a gigantic chessboard of sorts–a bit more stylized than the literal, but nonetheless a board upon which dynamic movement continues to shape the destiny of the human race.

The board is full of kings, queens, knights, bishops, and rooks that dominate that shaping. But these are not figures under the movement of a human hand as in that literal game of strategizing for conquest.

But supernatural hands do provide the movement, and that movement can be studied throughout history. It has been intricately chronicled and meticulously recorded—sometimes accurately, sometimes not so much, but rather rewritten to serve the chess master of nefarious scheming on one side of the board.

This is where the pawns come into our view of this strangely arranged chessboard.

Each king, queen, knight, bishop, and rook throughout history who have been given accolades for the movement of human progress are themselves pawns, without cognizance of their true powerlessness. They are but pawns of their allotted increment of time on this chessboard we can liken to Earth’s surface.

On the one side of this planetary chessboard sits the “player” who insinuated himself upon chessboard Earth as recorded in Genesis.

Lucifer the fallen one has manipulated with his wicked fingers control over the likes of Nimrod, Pharaoh, the Caesars of Rome, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and myriad other diabolists upon chessboard Earth’s history. He continues to exert control over the evil kings, queens, knights, bishops, rooks, and all other such pawns as this age winds up for the spectacular return of the True King–the Lord Jesus Christ!

On the other side is the true Chess Master, the God of Heaven. The True King, God’s Only Begotten Son, is the objective of the iniquitous Lucifer’s all-out attempt to conquer and to replace the King of all kings.

The sinful pawns of all the ages were defeated at the cross of Calvary and on Resurrection morning!

This eternal game of chess was already over before it even began. Prophecy from God’s Holy Word tells all creation of the Supreme chess master’s victory!

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalms 2:1-12).

In a final heavenly Word from Bible prophecy by God the Chess Master: Checkmate!

We are so thankful for you!
