Trump reads God’s promise to Solomon while the world is watching Jerusalem
When President Donald Trump stood before a camera and read aloud the words God spoke to King Solomon after the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem, he was touching something Biblical and holy that connects the fate of nations to their relationship with the God of Israel. For many, his choice of that specific passage was no accident. At the Rededicate 250 event on the National Mall, marking America’s 250th birthday, Trump read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, God’s direct response to Solomon after the completion of the Beit HaMikdash (the Holy Temple).

Iran on the Brink 
Regime change, as it is taking place in Iran now, is no small matter. In a tiny banana republic, it is much simpler and can occur quickly. In a geographically large and populous nation, it is much more complicated and takes much more time, especially if the regime is totalitarian, entrenched, and willing to use lethal violence against its own population and anyone else trying to overthrow it. Many regimes have been overthrown in modern history, but the campaign now underway in Iran has several unprecedented aspects. It is primarily these novel factors that are causing regime change to occur at an unpredictable pace.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is an Embarrassment to the Supreme Court 
Just as conservatives warned from the moment President Joe Biden nominated her, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s selection to the Supreme Court has been a complete embarrassment to both the Court and the entire judicial branch. Jackson’s latest tantrum in defense of the unconstitutional racial gerrymandering of Congressional districts further proves that she simply does not have the legal acumen or baseline objectivity required to be a Supreme Court justice.

California takes girl after parents oppose ‘gender transition,’ moves to put her up for adoption
California legally separated a Christian mother from her gender-confused teenage daughter and is now deciding that the girl ‘is going to be adopted out,’ according to the woman. Alexandra Lyaschenko, an Orthodox Christian and legal Ukrainian immigrant, lost custody of her then-15-year-old daughter in 2024 after rejecting her “sudden desire to transition.” Lyaschenko told NTD on Tuesday that California is “deciding that my daughter is going to be adopted out.” Her family was “forced out of California” and is now “hiding in Florida” because California also wants her younger son, she added.

Hidden earthquake faults beneath Seattle may be more dangerous than expected
A hidden network of earthquake faults running beneath Seattle may be far more active than scientists realized. New research reveals that smaller “secondary” faults in the Seattle Fault Zone appear to rupture roughly every 350 years — much more often than the massive main fault that has long worried geologists. Seattle is best known for the earthquake danger posed by the massive Cascadia subduction zone offshore.

“Different Flows of Time All Exist at the Same Moment”: Scientists Claim Trapped-Ion Atomic Clocks Can Observe “Quantum Superposition of Time” 
An international team of researchers has demonstrated a theoretical framework showing that state-of-the-art trapped-ion atomic clocks could be tuned to a sensitivity precise enough to measure the quantum superposition of time, in which different flows of time exist simultaneously at the quantum level. The researchers behind the framework said the next step will be to prove their concept experimentally. If successful, they suggest that trapped-ion atomic clocks could potentially help unravel physics’ other fundamental question: the elusive nature of gravity.

NATO: Nonsense with EU army
“Talking about an EU army is nonsense,” says Italian NATO chief Giuseppe Cavo Dragone. The idea of an EU army was most recently raised by Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares ahead of a meeting in Brussels last week.

CENTCOM chief unloads after Dem asks ‘how many more Americans’ must die in Iran war 
Adm Cooper called reports that Iran rebuilt key missile sites ‘inaccurate’ during hours of contentious exchanges Tuesday Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper sharply rebuked Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton during a tense House Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday after the Massachusetts Democrat questioned “how many more Americans” would die because of what he called a failed Iran strategy. “I think it’s an entirely inappropriate statement from you, sir,” Cooper responded. Gulf leaders asked Trump to pause strikes because “serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond,” he wrote on Truth Social Monday. “This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!” he said.

Danon warns Iran needs ‘reality check,’ Trump understands ‘something must be done”
“We all understand that something must happen,” Danon said. “I look at the Iranian representatives at the United Nations. They are so arrogant. They feel superiority.

Can America keep the Covenant?
As America nears its 250th anniversary, the question is not whether the nation deserves applause for what it has achieved. It does. The question is whether Americans still understand and believe in what made those achievements possible. For American Jews, the moment is especially precarious. The rise of antisemitism-on the far left, the far right, on campuses, online, in the streets, and increasingly in respectable institutions-has shaken assumptions that many American Jews once treated as permanent.

Iran hosts mass weddings for couples who signed up for ‘self-sacrifice’ in war against Israel
The Islamic regime held mass public weddings across Tehran for couples who registered their willingness to sacrifice their life as part of the war against Israel in a state-sponsored program, according to footage aired by state TV. Those who signed up for the “self-sacrifice” scheme have agreed to carry out actions like forming human chains around power stations to either convince the United States and Israel not to strike the sites or cause the maximum number of civilian casualties.
“These mass weddings are, in essence, pure wartime theatre.

When ‘International’ Law Is Used to Target Only Israel
It all began with an exchange on X. On April 7, former Israeli spokesperson Eylon Levy wrote that critics of Israel had “invented new international laws” that, if applied globally, would undermine international order by protecting aggressors and terrorist groups. The account @Optimist_Gaza replied sarcastically: “Can you list just five of those laws?” Political analyst Shany Mor quickly responded: “I can list far more than five,” and proceeded to publish many examples of legal concepts that, in his view, have been reinterpreted and applied exclusively against Israel.

Smotrich: ‘The PA started a war, and it will be met with war’
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Tuesday accused the Palestinian Authority of waging “war” against the Jewish state, as he confirmed that International Criminal Court prosecutors had submitted a secret request for an arrest warrant against him. “The prosecutor submitted a request for arrest warrants. Whether they will actually be issued or not, we do not know; they also do not want us to know; this is part of the tactic,” Smotrich told reporters at a press conference in Jerusalem.

Invisible Battle Raging Behind The Iran War
All eyes in the world today are on Iran, the Middle East, and that slender Strait of Hormuz. The world is holding its collective breath, wondering when the oil prices at the pump will begin to fall, and if Iran is willing to give in or stubbornly continue its pursuit of the nuclear finish line. Iran’s dogged refusal to surrender, even in the face of the threat of catastrophic destruction, is evidence that it values its radical theology above everything else. the Bible tells us that there is a spiritual war raging in the Middle East, with Iran at the center of the enemy’s strategy to oppose Israel and create chaos in the region. Iran is Satan’s sinister agent to try to destroy God’s covenant people and drive them from their land. Daniel’s ancient prophecy helps us gain insight into the invisible spiritual war that’s still raging today in modern Iran. After all, if there was a demonic Prince of Persia in 530 BC, we could be sure that the same territorial demon is behind what’s happening there today.

The Democrats Are About To Destroy John Fetterman
John Fetterman has become the most interesting politician in America, and the Democratic Party’s most uncomfortable mirror. His willingness to speak honestly, vote his conscience, and refuse to define himself purely in opposition to President Donald Trump has made him a hero to some and a traitor to others. Back in March, he declared the party had no real leader except Trump Derangement Syndrome. Democrats, according to Fetterman, are so consumed with opposing President Donald Trump that they’ve failed to construct a coherent agenda of their own. And how has the party responded to one of its more prominent voices offering this kind of candid self-assessment? By quietly beginning to show him the door.

Commercial Oil Inventories Are “Depleting Very Fast,” and Global Supply Chain Stress Is Spiking
We’re watching a slow-motion train wreck, and nobody can stop it.

We Are Being Conditioned to Expect Some Sort of a “Big Reveal,” and All of a Sudden It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens
It’s no coincidence that there’s an explosion in interest in UFOs and aliens recently. We’re being conditioned. For decades, movies, TV, video games, etc,  have conditioned us about unidentified aircraft and strange beings with unusual powers. Now the conditioning is reaching a crescendo. We’re told to brace for a “big reveal” that’ll change everything. That should alarm all of us.

Rather Than Accept ‘Pride’ Activism As Norm, Cities, States, and Individuals Are Pushing Back
“I have ever found it, when I have thought the battle was over and the conquest gained, and so let down my watch, the enemy has risen up and done me the greatest injury.” The quote by missionary David Brainerd seems fitting as yet another “Pride Month” arrives. He was speaking about his spiritual battles, but it’s relevant to our current social environment heading into June.

American anti-Israel groups held Nakba Day protests over the weekend of May 10 and 11, and while they were mostly peaceful, violent extremism and support for terrorist organizations were present at rallies across the country.

Invisible Battle Raging Behind The Iran War
Iran’s refusal to surrender, even with a catastrophic destruction threat, is evidence it values its radical theology above everything. What we see on the surface in Iran is bad enough, but behind the physical war, the Bible says there’s a spiritual war raging in the Middle East, with Iran at the center of the enemy’s strategy to oppose Israel and create chaos in the region.

Jacob Nordangård: From Polycrisis to World Government 
In his book, The Digital World Brain, Jacob Nordangård describes his research into the planned world gov’t, with the UN at its center, propped up by a partnership with WEF. His research is based on sources from the UN and other organizations.

Unite the Kingdom vs “pro-Palestinian”: The two couldn’t be more different
In London on Saturday, there were two marches: Unite the Kingdom rally attended by ordinary Brits, and Nakba Day 2026 protest attended by “pro-Palestinians.” They clearly demarcated the two faces of Britain. One is open, loving and unifying (while honest about threats we face); the other is masked, hateful and has murder in its heart. Britain needs to choose the former…
