What Does the Ark Have in Common with the United States?
2026 is a monumental year as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation (US) and the 10-year anniversary of the Ark Encounter! Although there are vast differences between the two, there are a few similarities. Both were born from leaders who acted on deeply held convictions, produced tangible symbols pertaining to their beliefs, endured opposition and much criticism, and invested in a generational impact that would leave a lasting legacy.

Russia fired 1,770 drones at Ukraine in one week. Zelenskyy says the factories must be the target.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russian forces struck Ukraine with 1,770 armed drones, more than 1,530 guided bombs, and 86 missiles over the past week, including over 20 ballistic missiles. He highlighted that each of these ballistic missiles contains at least 60 foreign components, supplied to Russia in violation of international sanctions. Zelenskyy said the supply chains for these components are known and need to be dismantled.

43% of Russian POWs rated Ukrainians as less than fully human — and Kremlin propaganda explains why
Titled “Words That Kill: How Russian Propaganda Shapes Mobilization and Combat Motivation,” the research surveyed 1,060 Russian prisoners of war under formal legal procedures — using a methodology its authors describe as distinctive for quantifying propaganda’s behavioral effects on soldiers who had actually fought in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Trump says it is easier to negotiate with Putin than with Zelenskyy
The statement comes in response to a question about criticism after the US temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil amid soaring oil prices. Trump does not answer the question directly, but instead takes aim at Zelenskyy. “I’m surprised Zelenskyy doesn’t want a deal. Tell Zelenskyy to make a deal, because Putin is ready,” Trump replied, continuing: Zelenskyy is much more difficult to reach an agreement with.

FCC chair Brendan Carr warns broadcasters must ‘correct course’ on ‘news distortions’ before license renewals
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr issued a warning to the media on Saturday calling on networks to “correct course” before their license renewals come up. “Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” he wrote on X, in response to a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump about coverage of the war in Iran. “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”

Mojtaba Khamenei is an ‘evil human being’ and Jews are in an ‘existential fight,’ Israeli 
Our mission in Iran is ‘regime collapse,’ Ambassador Leiter says; ‘regime change’ is up to Iran’s people
Senior Israeli officials are highly encouraged by the tremendous progress they are making, and the extensive damage the IDF is doing to the Iranian regime and its offensive capabilities in this historic, if high-risk, joint operation with the United States. But they are under no illusions. They see the newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and his End Times theology as more fanatical and more dangerous than that of his father, the recently assassinated Grand Ayatollah. “When he said this was imminent, that in a few months they would have nuclear weapons, he knew what he was talking about.”

Hamas’s secret letter to Mojtaba Khamenei
According to the report, while the official letter was written in a diplomatic and vague tone, the secret letter presents an extreme, militant, and operational line. In this letter, Hamas makes it unequivocally clear that it does not intend to reach any arrangement that would involve relinquishing its military capabilities: “We are aware of attempts to bind the hands of the resistance under the guise of agreements-the organization will not compromise its weapons under any circumstances.” “All fronts must be activated to exact a price from the Zionists. We, together with our brothers in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, will create the next victories under your leadership.”

The tradition includes lighting bonfires and gathering in celebration, symbolizing renewal and the welcoming of spring.

Gulf states hesitate on response to Iran after regime launches more than 2,000 missiles and drones
Sources from Gulf states who spoke to the Post said that one reason those countries have not launched an attack is their concern about the “day after.” “There are many unanswered questions about how the war will end,” a Gulf official told the Post. “It’s possible that in the end, the regime will not fall, that [US President Donald] Trump will decide the event is over, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-based regime will remain in place. In that case, Gulf states would have to continue dealing with Tehran and maintain some form of relationship with it.” Another reason Gulf states are reluctant to attack Iran is the fear of a significant escalation in Iranian strikes, We know Iran still has capabilities it has not yet used, and that concern is always there.”

Defrin: ‘We don’t aim for regime change in Iran, only to debilitate system, capabilities’
The IDF is not aiming to overthrow the Iranian regime, but is rather aiming to “damage all of the regime’s systems and capabilities,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said on Sunday during a press briefing. “We attacked more than 2,000 targets in Iran and eliminated thousands of commanders and soldiers from the regime,” Defrin said, explaining that the operations are being made “shoulder to shoulder with the United States military.”

Trump Warns of More Strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island, Pressures Allies to Secure Oil Chokepoint
US President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran’s main oil export hub Kharg Island and said he was not ready for a deal with Tehran to end the war which has shut off the vital Strait of Hormuz and caused chaos in global energy markets. With the US-Israeli war on Iran in its third week, Trump said US strikes had “totally demolished” much of the island and warned of more, telling NBC News on Saturday, “We may hit it a few more times just for fun.” The comments marked a sharp escalation from Trump

Refined Faith: Why The Persecuted Church May Be The Most Faithful In The World 
Across the world today, millions of Christians gather to worship Christ under circumstances that most believers in the West can scarcely imagine. Some meet in secret apartments. Others gather in forests, deserts, or remote villages. In some places, churches cannot display a cross, ring a bell, or publicly identify themselves as Christian without risking harassment, imprisonment, or violence. For these believers, faith is not merely a cultural identity or a Sunday activity. It is a decision that carries real consequences. The reality is sobering: in many parts of the world, following Jesus may cost believers their jobs, their families, their freedom, or even their lives.

Now They Are Actually Admitting That There Is A Massive “Gravity Hole” Underneath Antarctica?
For decades, we were told to ignore any of the strange reports that we were hearing about Antarctica. Experts assured us that nothing unusual was going on and that there wasn’t anything to be concerned about. One thing that scientists are admitting about Antarctica is that it sits directly above the strongest “gravity hole” on the entire planet… Earth may look like a smooth “blue marble” from space, but it’s better to imagine it as a slightly gnarled orange, with an inside that’s firm in parts, but squishier in others. Since the planet isn’t a perfect sphere and its internal density varies across the globe, gravitational pull changes from place to place. Where there’s less mass in the underlying geology, gravity is weaker, and vice versa. These dips in the gravitational field are formally known as gravity anomalies, but they’re more commonly called “gravity holes”. The largest is found in the middle of the Indian Ocean, spanning over 3 million square kilometers (roughly 1,100,000 square miles), while the strongest is found in Antarctica. Isn’t that interesting? It turns out that there is a gigantic “hole” under Antarctica after all. Of course most of the good stuff is in areas where tourists are never allowed, and that includes the colossal pyramid that appears to have been man-made…

Energy Secretary Directs Oil Company To Resume Operations In California, Citing National Security
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on March 13 directed the Texas-based oil company Sable Offshore Corp. to restore operations in water off southern California.

Chaos Across America: Midwest Megastorm, 30 Inches of Snow in Wisconsin, Gigantic Fires in Nebraska, Yellowstone Rising, and Blue Dragons in Texas
Why are so many crazy things happening at once? I’ve been writing a lot about chaos in the Middle East, and now it’s erupting all over America. Just when you thought the craziest winter was coming to an end, a “megastorm” over the middle of the country is spawning blizzards, thunderstorms, wildfires, and tornadoes over a very large stretch of the country.

Now They Are Actually Admitting There Is A Massive “Gravity Hole” Underneath Antarctica?
For decades, we were told to ignore strange reports we were hearing about Antarctica. Experts assured us nothing unusual was going on and there was nothing to be concerned about. Of course, we couldn’t investigate; there are 72 areas only those with a special permit are allowed to enter. And if you try to fly to Antarctica without authorization, you’ll get into trouble.

It’s Being Projected That “Peak War Panic” Could Hit the Global Financial System In 1 To 3 Weeks
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is essentially paralyzed, and there’s speculation that the Houthis could bring traffic through the Red Sea to a halt, which would be catastrophic for the global economy. So far, we’re not witnessing widespread panic among investors. Most seem to believe this crisis is temporary, even though the price of oil is up over 40% since start of the war.

The Anti-White ‘Hate Crime’ Designation Needs to be Scrapped 
The “hate crime” designation is a relatively new phenomenon in America. The designation, which is an “enhancement” to punishments for criminal acts based on perceived bias, is often used to promote an anti-white political agenda. The hate crime enhancement unfairly prioritizes certain victims above others, even if the crime was the same.

Archaeology testifies to the ancient relationship between Israel and Persia 
After Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. and its people taken into exile, the city was partially restored during the Persian period following King Cyrus’ decree allowing the Jewish exiles to return. Various archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem reflect these biblical events. Now that the modern state of Israel is fighting to liberate the Iranian people from the Islamic Regime, some are saying the Jewish state is paying back the kindness extended to them by the ancient Persian king some 2,500 years ago during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah.

A call for keeping Christian in Christian Zionism 
What is a Christian Zionist? Being a Christian Zionist does not mean blindly supporting every decision made by the Israeli government. Nor, does it mean offering unconditional or uncritical acceptance to every policy issuing out of the Knesset. It does not mean excusing injustice, nor does it mean ignoring the suffering of innocent Palestinians. Scripture consistently calls God’s people to compassion, fairness, and humility. The Torah teaches, “Do not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 23:9). Supporting Israel must always be grounded in biblical values as well as promises, including the dignity and worth of every human life.
What, then, is Christian Zionism? Simply stated, it is the conviction that the Bible teaches God’s promises to Israel—especially those related to the land—remain in effect and valid today.

Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is destined to fail – analysis
If the closure lasts much longer, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ vehicles will run out of fuel.
The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Reasons Not To Panic. But this Iranian play is nothing new, and panic is unwarranted. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps first sought to close the Strait of Hormuz, mining both it and the Gulf of Oman four decades ago. President Ronald Reagan responded by reflagging Kuwaiti tankers and, when the U.S. guided-missile frigate Samuel B. Roberts hit a mine, blowing a 15-foot hole in its hull, injuring ten sailors. In response, Reagan ordered Operation Praying Mantis, destroying two oil platforms, sinking Iranian naval ships, and Revolutionary Guards’ speedboats.

France proposes peace deal: Lebanon to recognize Israel
The proposal would allegedly require the Lebanese government to recognize Israel – a move which it has refused to take since 1948 – and declare that it wishes to negotiate non-aggression with Israel, and would also require Israel to give up the five key points it has occupied in southern Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire. Israel and the US are reviewing the proposal, Axios added, noting that the Lebanese government “has accepted the plan as a basis for peace talks.” If the proposal is accepted, Israel and Lebanon would begin negotiations, backed by both France and the US, and would agree on a “political declaration” within just one month.

Trump Rejects Efforts to Launch Iran Ceasefire Talks
President Donald Trump’s administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the Iran war that started two weeks ago with a massive US-Israeli air assault, according to three sources familiar with the efforts. Iran, for its part, has rejected the possibility of any ceasefire until US and Israeli strikes end, two senior Iranian sources told Reuters, adding that several countries had been trying to mediate an end to the conflict. The lack of interest from Washington and Tehran suggests both sides are digging in for an extended conflict,

The Gulf’s strategic restraint and the Iran war 
Amid the broad military exchanges, the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain—have insisted on maintaining a policy of absolute military passivity. The policy of avoiding offensive action against Iran has been sustained in the face of numerous daily attacks against the GCC. In a methodical retaliatory campaign, which began mere hours after the initiation of hostilities, Iran has targeted its Arab neighbors. Across the Gulf, coordinated waves of drones and ballistic missiles have systematically struck critical energy infrastructure, prompting multiple state-owned companies to halt production and global shipments.
Gulf leadership has forcefully condemned these violations.

A Turning Point In The Battle Against Global Jihad
Mark your calendar and remember the events of this month. March 2026 will go down as a turning point in the battle against global jihad. The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. Iran is the head of the snake, and if the regime and its proxies like Hezbollah topple, we will have a new Middle East, not to mention a more secure America. We would also strike a massive blow against Islam’s advance.

Palantir CEO Has Grim Prediction For Democrats Over AI
Palantir CEO Alex Karp delivered an apocalyptic warning to progressives, particularly “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat,” stating that their influence over the economy and broader society will erode as technologies such as artificial intelligence transfer power to working-class, right-leaning men. “This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp, ..is essentially saying that AI will shift economic power away from highly educated, so-called “woke Karens” and toward working-class, often right-leaning male voters.

Texas Antifa Cell Convicted On Terror Charges As Trump Targets Far-Left
Legal questions have been growing over the use of federal terrorism laws against leftist activists. Now, there’s been a conviction. On Friday, nine defendants accused of being part of a North Texas “Antifa Cell” were convicted by a federal jury in Fort Worth.
