Live: Ukraine’s allies call on Russia to agree to a ‘full, unconditional ceasefire’
Allies from the “Coalition of the Willing” group of nations supporting Ukraine on Tuesday urged Russia to agree to an “unconditional ceasefire”, on the four-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Later in the day, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution voicing support for Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity, with the US among those abstaining from the vote.

Slovakia: Druzjba pipeline reopens as Russian oil deliveries resume
Deliveries of Russian oil via the repaired Druzjba pipeline will resume on Thursday, the Slovak Ministry of Energy announced. The pipeline, which runs from Russia to Slovakia and Hungary via Ukraine, was damaged in a Russian attack at the end of January, Ukraine said. The announcement that the line is about to reopen comes after Slovakia accused Ukraine of delaying repairs

Temple Mount groups call on Netanyahu to reinstate Jewish afternoon prayers during Ramadan
The letter also pressed for full freedom of worship, including allowing prayer books, prayer shawls, and tefillin (phylacteries) to be brought to the Mount. Israeli rights groups have urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reverse the cancellation of daily afternoon prayers at the Temple Mount during Ramadan, which began last week.

What social credit means to you and how it will change your life
Social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens, and it is being implemented globally, with China being a prime example. The system is being implemented in various countries, including Holland, Denmark, Ireland, Iran and India. And similar systems are already in place in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, Italy, Ukraine, France, Canada, Austria, Germany, Russia, Zimbabwe and Thailand. These systems often involve digital IDs, vaccine passports, and tracking of citizens’ behaviour. The goal is to control behaviour and replace democracy with artificial intelligence-driven decision-making. It is all part of The Great Reset.

Iran’s shadowy chemical weapons program draws scrutiny as reports allege use against protesters
A new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) raises concerns about Iran’s opaque chemical weapons program, which argues policymakers have paid little attention to compared with Iran’s more scrutinized nuclear weapons program. The FDD report outlines how the Iranian regime may have resorted to the unconventional use of chemical weapons while it faced an unprecedented uprising beginning in December 2025, a wave of unrest Tehran has not seen since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Any use of chemical weapons by Iran would be in defiance of their obligations under the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.

Japan to deploy missiles to Yonaguni Island by fiscal 2030, defense chief says
Japan plans to deploy medium-range surface-to-air missiles to Okinawa Prefecture’s Yonaguni Island — just 110 kilometers east of Taiwan — by fiscal 2030, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Tuesday. “Currently, we are proceeding with necessary tasks, such as basic studies concerning facility improvements for the deployment of troops to the eastern side of the garrison,” Koizumi told a regular news conference.

The mountain that carried Jerusalem’s fire to Babylon now flies the Israeli flag
The Israeli flag now flies from the summit of Mount Sartaba in the Jordan Valley, raised there for the first time in history by Israel’s Ministry of Heritage. At 650 meters above sea level, the flag is visible from miles away — a deliberate, unmistakable statement that this land, the biblical heartland, belongs to the Jewish people. once the Sanhedrin (the supreme Jewish court in Jerusalem) confirmed the new moon through eyewitness testimony, signal fires were lit atop the Mount of Olives. The flames were then relayed from peak to peak — Sartaba being the next critical station, passing the message northeast toward Gripina and ultimately to the Jewish communities of Babylonia. In an age before telegraph or telephone, a Jew in Babylon could look toward the western horizon and know: the Bet Din (rabbinical court) in Jerusalem had sanctified the new month.

Shaking Cyrus’s birthplace: 2,500 Purims, America’s 250, and a deadline in 10 days
What does it mean when a quake erupts from Cyrus’s ancestral soil, America marks 250 years of independence, Purim nears its 2500th observance, and a U.S. president sets a 10-15 day ultimatum just days before the festival of reversal? The timing aligns too tightly to ignore: a quake in Cyrus’s land, a 250-year American turnaround, a 2500-year Purim arc, and a deadline 11 days before the festival begins. Will the reversal happen in that short window? All eyes are on Iran.

Ted Cruz urges Trump to seize opportunity to destroy ‘teetering’ Iranian regime
Sen. Cruz framed his recommendation as a matter of US security, saying the removal of Iran’s supreme leader would reduce threats to Americans. He said the next six months could mark a turning point not only for Iran but also for Venezuela and Cuba.

Israel Warns Lebanon of Strikes if Hezbollah Enters Any US-Iran War, Lebanese Officials Say
The Lebanese officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Israeli message was delivered indirectly. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Lebanese presidency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Iran and the US will hold a third round of nuclear talks on Thursday in Geneva, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on Sunday, amid growing concerns about the risk of military conflict.

Smotrich: Jerusalem will ‘never’ cede control of Judea and Samaria 
“It is part of Israel, part of the State of Israel,” Smotrich told JNS, “and with God’s help, this can never be changed.” Smotrich commented to JNS on figures showing that the Jewish population in the region grew in 2025 at twice the national rate. The current 541,085 residents of Judea and Samaria are “not enough,” Smotrich told JNS. “We want the population to grow much more, throughout the entire State of Israel and in Judea and Samaria.”

US deploys F-22 stealth jets to Israel in rare show of force, coordination to Iran
The decision to publicize the arrival of the aircraft two days before talks scheduled to take place in Geneva was not coincidental. Beyond operational considerations, their deployment to Israel is also intended to create a deterrent effect — an attempt to pressure Iran into negotiations. Although the United States maintains bases throughout the Middle East, the decision to send the aircraft to Israel conveys a message that Washington and Jerusalem are coordinated and could act together.

Massive deficit, soaring taxes: four years of war push Russia’s economy to the brink
Russia has been mired for years in stagflation — a combination of high inflation and slowing growth. High unemployment, typically a feature of stagflation, has not materialized because of labor shortages driven in part by the war economy. Sanctions and the demands of wartime production have led to sharply higher taxes, while rising energy bills and consumer prices have made it increasingly difficult for many households to afford basic goods. Business owners have been forced to raise prices despite shrinking customer bases.

Defending Western Civilization Is Not Bigotry, It’s Wisdom
When Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke in Munich last week about the necessity of preserving Western Civilization, critics labeled his remarks “far right” and “sugar coated racism.” While that reaction is nearly reflexive for the modern left, it avoids the point Secretary Rubio was trying to make: Western Civilization is good and worth preserving. This is not a remotely racist thing to say because Western Civilization is not an ethnicity. It’s not a genetic inheritance passed down through European bloodlines or a cultural preference for pastries and Bach. It is, at its core, a set of ideas about human dignity and the purpose of government; all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights that precede government itself. Because of this, the West determined that good government would serve the individual

Former Norway PM Attempts Suicide After Epstein-Linked Raid, Corruption Charges: Report
Norway’s former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalized a week ago after a failed suicide attempt, days after he was charged with “gross corruption” after a police probe into his ties with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, local outlet iNyheter reports. Jagland, 75, who gave Barack Obama a Nobel peace price less than nine months into his presidency, was charged on February 12 after police carried out an extensive search of his properties – including apartments in Oslo and in Risør. The man
… was chair of the Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015, was an Epstein Island regular

Leftist Media Outraged After USA Olympic Hockey Team Goes Pro-MAGA
Perhaps it’s destiny – The last time the USA Men’s Olympic Hockey Team won the gold in 1980 they had to first defeat the communist Soviet Union. It was not the final game of the Olympics, it was the second to final game, but it was the only game that was treated as an epic battle of cultural and political ideals and not just a sports competition. In 2026, the Team USA finally won again, this time against the increasingly communistic country of Canada. To pour salt on their wounded progressive egos, the men’s team is largely pro-MAGA and says they are excited to attend Trump’s State of the Union Address. Leftist activists have been pressuring American athletes throughout the Olympics to denounce the Trump Administration. Particularly, they have called on American representatives to speak against ICE and the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The USA Women’s Hockey team capitulated and chose to snub Trump’s invitation after their gold medal win. Leftists expected the men to do the same. Instead, they invited FBI Director Kash Patel and partied with him after the win

Pope Allegedly Labels “Far Right” His Greatest Concern In Private Meeting
Recent reports claim that in November of 2025 during a private meeting with Spanish Bishops, Pope Leo XIV asserted that the “rise of ultra-right ideology” was his greatest concern. The comments allegedly came in response to widespread criticism of the church by conservatives against its weak response to militant LGBT ideology and its continuing defense of mass immigration. The initial claims were published by the Spanish newspaper El País, known as a far-left platform.

Cartel Problem Is ‘Spilling Over To The United States’: Texas Senator
The cartel problem in Mexico has spilled over into the United States, harming Americans and requiring Washington to take action on the matter, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said in a Feb. 23 interview with Fox News. “[Mexicans are] very particular about their sovereignty. And I get that. But if they’re not able to take care of the problem, and it’s spilling over to the United States and killing American citizens, it’s our problem. And we need to do something about it. And fortunately, President [Donald] Trump is willing to take this fight to those cartels,” Cornyn said.

Iran Strikes Covert Missile Deal With Moscow In Backchannel Rearmament
Iran is squarely in the Trump administration’s crosshairs, and both Russia and China are to some degree coming to Tehran’s aid with some significant arms deals meant to potentially stave off future attack. Most significantly, the Financial Times is reporting that Russia will supply the Iranians with thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles in a deal worth 500 million Euros. Though only coming to light this past weekend, the agreement was inked in Moscow in December, and commits Russia to deliver 500 “Verba” launch units and 2,500 “9M336” missiles over three years.

Trump suggests Newsom’s wife comment on women’s hockey team invite ended husband’s presidential bid 
President Trump is suggesting that California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wife has made such a damaging comment regarding the president’s invitation to the U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team to attend his State of the Union address that the governor had to exit the 2028 presidential race. Jennifer Siebel Newsom posted on X: “Clearly they prefer arenas where women are actually respected! As they should.” Trump posted late Monday on Truth Social: Wow! Gavin Newscum just dropped out of the Presidential Race!!! President DJT.”

“We’ve Got Our People Working on It Right Now”: Defense Secretary Provides Update on Pentagon Disclosure of UFO Files 
Pete Hegseth says Pentagon officials are currently working to initiate the release of government files on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), more commonly known as UFOs. The effort was prompted by recent statements made by President Donald Trump last week, who announced plans to “begin the process” of releasing official files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life based on significant public interest in the topic. Hegseth said. “I mean, we’ve got our people working on it right now.”

Late-February 2026 Nor’easter sets all-time snowfall records and leaves 650,000 without power across Northeast U.S.
A rapidly intensifying Nor’easter brought record-breaking snowfall, hurricane-force winds, and major disruptions across the northeastern US on Feb 23. Providence, Rhode Island, recorded 96.3 cm (37.9 inches) of snow, highest single-storm total on record. Officials confirmed at least four storm-related fatalities in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

An Attack On Iran Appears To Be Very Close, And This Is Why It Must Happen Soon
By Oct 27, national elections will have been held in Israel. The polls don’t look good for Netanyahu, so he’ll probably be out of a job. Solving the “Iran problem” is the number one thing Netanyahu wants to accomplish before he leaves, so the clock is ticking. Even if something prevented the US from attacking Iran, top Israeli officials warned they’d go in anyway.

New York Legalizes Physician Assisted Suicide 
The nation has come a long way since the controversy and trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian and the time in which we live. It’s ironic to recognize he was convicted of murder in the 1990s, and today, there are now 13 states (plus DC) that allow physician-assisted suicide, with New York being the most recent on February 9.

In 2026, It Has Become Trendy for Americans to Identify As “Chinese”
Just when you think social media can’t get weirder, something proves you wrong. In the past few months, it’s become trendy for social media users to identify as “Chinese.” I understand appreciating the positive elements of another culture, but people are taking this too far.  Sadly, we live at a time when many people think they’ll be happy if they can become someone else.

Mamdani Attends Iranian Front Al-Khoei Islamic Center Where Imam Prays for The Mahdi to Kill the Infidels by His Sword
As the US makes final preparations to hammer Iranian mullahs out of existence, New York City’s Islamo-communist Mayor Mamdani made a point of saying Friday prayers at a mosque that the Dept of Justice considers to be a front for the Iranian gov’t. The cherry on top is that during those prayers, the imam prayed for the Mahdi to kill the infidels (non-believers) by the sword.

Sam Altman Just Said Training Human Children Uses More Energy Than AI
“OpenAI’s Sam Altman sparked a firestorm of criticism at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 when he responded to concerns over artificial intelligence’s growing environmental footprint by comparing it to the lifetime energy and food a human consumes before reaching “useful” intelligence.

Mosques Are Now Texas Polling Station
Texas is being conquered from within: taxpayer-funded mosques doubling as polling stations are engineering Democrat surges and flipping through imported voter blocs and civilizational jihad. Over 300 mosques, many now doubling as polling stations fueled by billions in taxpayer dollars engineered domination from within.

EXPOSED: Iranian Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami’s Chilling Fatwa – ‘We Will Kill You and Kill You Good’ for Daring to Leave Islam
In a brazen display of Sharia’s iron-fisted tyranny, Iranian hardliner Ayatollah Khatami delivered a venomous sermon during Tehran’s Friday prayers, threatening execution for anyone who publicly renounces Islam. It’s straight from the heart of Iran’s theocratic regime, where apostasy isn’t just a sin; it’s a death sentence designed to crush dissent and enforce total obedience.

Cartel Problem Is ‘Spilling Over to The United States’: Texas Senator Says
The cartel problem in Mexico has spilled over into the US, harming Americans and requiring Washington to take action, Sen. Cornyn (R-Texas) said. Mexico has long been controlled by the cartels. Many gov’t officials in Mexico have been compromised, with these officials getting rich. Texas will continue to utilize every tool and strategy to protect our state and our nation.

Iran stalls for interim deal as US-Iran play ‘game of chicken’ with war
The Islamic regime has been pushing for an interim deal, seeking to drag out talks with the US to achieve a deal that would allow it to keep its ballistic missile program, legitimize its nuclear program, and get some degree of relief from US sanctions, according to former British Army intelligence officer Lynette Nusbacher.

Trans kindergarten teacher id’s as ‘wolf’ fired after CBN report & Liberty Council Demand Letter
A man who ID’d as female & nonbinary taught 4 & 5 year olds at Fort Bragg  wore “BDSM-style” female clothing, including dog collar & animal tail, told them to howl like wolves, talked of turning into a werewolf at night, & told them he was really a woman who liked “boys.” One child worried they’d be eaten.

Confronting The Wolves :: By Steve Schmutzer

This is about confronting the wolves. If you are wise, you’ll do it.

“Whaddya’ mean, ‘If I’m wise!?’” I can hear the question already.

The Bible teaches that wisdom begins with a fear of the Lord (Prov. 9:10). Let’s unpack that and see where it goes.

First, in this verse, “fear” is not the same thing as “afraid” – at least not mostly. If we are truly IN the faith, then we should have a constant awe for God that reminds us of His holiness, justice, and righteousness.

And yes – if we have this posture, we’ll also properly “fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell” (Matt. 10:28). God is the final judge, and even for the Christian, there will be some face-to-face accountability with Him (2 Cor. 5:10).

But, second, what Proverbs is emphasizing is that a legitimate definition of learning, awareness, and applicable knowledge has to begin someplace. That “someplace” is a correct attitude towards God and a right respect for who He is.

Here’s a gut check. If you doubt Jesus Christ is who He claims to be, then you display a lack of wisdom. If you choose not to believe in Him, if you think there is more than one way to eternal life, or if you’re comfortable defining “God” by your personal preferences and tolerances, then you cannot be wise.

If you don’t believe the Bible says what it means and means what it says – if you’d rather impose your own preferences on Scripture – then wisdom will elude you. You have zero idea how ridiculous and foolish you will become instead (Rom. 1:20-21).

Honestly – this issue is quite plain. If you think you’re wise by any definition other than what is found in God’s Word – you’re not!

Forget about advanced college degrees, framed certificates, and all similar forms of man’s recognition and praise. Big deal!

Those things just mean you got the assignments done. They mean you did what you were told to, and you met man’s standards. A trained dolphin does the same thing.

Some of the most inept, incapable, destructive, arrogant, and foolish people I have known have a parade of alphabet soup after their name. They thought they were something they weren’t. Degrees don’t change the heart.

The truth is real wisdom starts with a proper relationship with God. There is a direct and inviolable connection. That’s the essence of what Proverbs 9:10 is saying.

If you’re not in a proper relationship with your Creator, your views and actions will be futile, irrational, and unwise. If you’d rather embrace a cultural view of Jesus Christ that paints Him as racist, imperfect, genderless – – or anything other than what the Bible plainly states – well, then you DON’T and you WON’T have wisdom.

The implications of this go much further. If you don’t have a right reverence for God, you won’t have a right respect for morality. You won’t pursue God’s values. Sound character – and virtues like honesty, self-control, integrity, and fairness – will mean little to you.

Issues like fair elections, true justice, law and order, the nuclear family, two genders, and national boundaries are some of the things you will be inclined to mock if you don’t have a right view of God. All of these things find their foundation in God’s inerrant Word.

Furthermore, if Biblical truth is not valued BY you, then human life holds no real value FOR you. This is especially the case with those who haven’t taken their first breath – or with those who are close to their last one.

Here’s the heart of what I want to say. We are surrounded by wolves who are working to tear down and suppress God’s truth. Those wolves are attacking the very pillars of wisdom, and they are breeding rapidly both INSIDE the church and OUTSIDE of it.

It’s not a new problem. It was a dilemma many centuries ago when God’s faithful followers encountered wolves inside and outside of their religious convictions. Daniel 11:21-35 tells the whole story.

Here, we find a corrupt leader who came to power deceptively. He tried to enforce cultural conformity because he had no tolerance for the truth. Everyone had to goose-step the same way because his agenda was one that did not revere God.

Though his policies were foolish, and though they made no sense, he still managed to get some of the religious leaders on his side. He flattered them. He made them feel special when they conformed to his mandates, and when they compromised the most important things they needed to cling to instead.

Daniel 11:32-33 contains a remarkable statement, “….the people who know their God will be strong and take action. Those who are wise will instruct many.”

These people were the REAL heroes. They stood up for what was proper. They were not like all the foolish folk. They preserved a proper reverence for God, and they held others accountable to the things that were right.

They went where it was uncomfortable to go, and they said what was uncomfortable to say. And the Bible says they were wise for doing this.

They were few, but they bucked the system. They ‘held others’ spiritual feet to the fire.’ They called a spade a spade. They bravely stood their ground, and they cried, “Fraud!” when it was so.

They refused to compromise or bend. They knew the truth, and they clung to it. They paid a price for doing what was right, but they did it anyways. They did it because they were ‘wise.’

As it was true in the past, so it is true now. Those who truly “know their God” – those who are wise – will display strength and act against deception and compromise just as those who revered God before ALSO did. Those who embrace the truth of God’s Word will resist the encroachment of the world’s ideas upon it.

The hard-hitting example of Daniel 11:32-33 shows there is a distinction between two types of people: those who are strong and wise, and those who are not. It is the strong and wise ones that will resist any invasion into the pillars and expressions of their faith.

It is those who are sincere and committed in their faith who will achieve the things Daniel 11:32-33 calls “great exploits.” It takes a strong person to RESIST the seduction that they are doing the right thing when they let the world define them and their choices.

The wolves are among us – there is no doubt about that. Just look around you.

Confronting them takes great wisdom and strength.
