Blood moon, planetary parade, and solar eclipse converge on Purim. Is the Messianic era near?
The convergence of events is striking: the U.S. and Iran are both signaling readiness for war, with Trump giving Iran roughly 10–15 days to reach a nuclear deal — a deadline that lands precisely around Purim. Meanwhile, nationwide protests that began in late December 2025 have spread to every province in Iran, with a death toll in the thousands. And all of this unfolds under a sky featuring a rare planetary parade and a blood moon falling on the night of Purim itself, exactly as Rabbi Mendel Kessin explained in a recent lecture.

Trump blasts Dems who refused to stand for protecting Americans over ‘illegal aliens’ at State of the Union: ‘You should be ashamed’
President Trump blasted Democratic politicians who declined to endorse his State of the Union message that the “first duty” of the US government is to protect American citizens over illegal migrants. “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe,” Trump said during his Tuesday night remarks in the House chamber. “So tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Duly cued, Republicans led by Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) rose to their feet while scores of Democrats remained firmly seated.

Governments issue warnings, evacuations amid escalating tensions

Why 2026 is the year Israel finally stopped fearing Ramadan
For decades, the Israeli security establishment operated under a self-imposed psychological constraint known informally as the “Ramadan Veto.” The logic was as predictable as it was defeatist: as the Islamic holy month approached, the State of Israel would preemptively shrink its own sovereignty in Jerusalem to avoid “provoking” those who use the holiday as a springboard for violence. But as of today, that era of strategic retreat is officially over.

It is a well-established mechanism that exists within the system itself, so nothing would collapse.

China Unleashes ‘Antisemitic Wave’ Amid Gaza Conflict, New Report Shows
The Chinese Communist Party has embraced overt antisemitic messaging in its domestic propaganda in recent years, according to a new report which ties the move to both geopolitical rivalry with the United States and efforts to curry favor with Arab and Muslim countries hostile to Israel. The Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI), a prominent think tank based in Israel, documents in the report how China’s authoritarian government has deliberately cultivated antisemitism among the population and internationally as a strategy. One key trend detailed by the study’s author, JPPI senior fellow Shalom Salomon Wald, is the way in Chinese media that Israel, Jews, and Judaism have grown conflated.
The Balkan Firewall: Why Iran’s Post-War Pivot to Europe Threatens the EU
In mid-February 2026, Germany and several other European Union member states quietly extended their internal Schengen border controls for another six months. The official reasoning was general irregular migration, but the unspoken intelligence consensus points to a far more specific, acute threat: the “Western Balkans Route” has become the primary artery for Iranian-backed operatives and radicalized actors seeking to infiltrate the continent. While the world’s attention remains fixated on the Middle East and Iran’s threat to the region, a quieter, equally dangerous shadow war is unfolding on Europe’s periphery.

Much Of The Western World Willfully Forgets: The Foundation Of Our Rights Come From The Bible
Consider how many of God’s greatest gifts to humanity flowed through the pipeline of Israel. Western civilization goes hand in hand with Judeo-Christian values. Many others also helped create the culture we now enjoy, including the Greeks and the Romans. But ultimately, the best part of the civilization built and bequeathed to us by our ancestors, rests on the shoulders of Abraham, Moses, and, most of all, Jesus. The idea of human rights and the dignity of each person did not originate with the Declaration of Independence, the Renaissance, the Magna Carta, or the Cyrus Cylinder. The foundation of our rights comes from our ancestors’ belief in Genesis 1:27. “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
The Left Is Working With Islam To Destroy The Judeo-Christian Western Way Of Life… And Europe Is Falling Fast
Europe is falling, and it’s falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what’s left of it. Let’s start with Spain. Their radical socialist government just announced that it is going to grant legal status to 500,000 migrants who entered Spain illegally from mainly Muslim nations. Individuals who have no concept of Western values will now be sticking around for good.

Outrage In Sacramento: California Parole Board Grants Release Of Serial Child Rapist
The California Parole Board’s decision to release a serial child molester who used candy and toys to lure children as young as three years old has sparked outrage from victims, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials.

One In Five California Home Sales Canceled Due To Unaffordable Insurance
Dysfunction in California’s Insurance Market. Glenn and Lorraine Crawford paid about $500 a month to insure their home in Agoura Hills northwest of Los Angeles when they bought it in 2012.

Mystery religions have always attempted to infiltrate Christian churches
Across the world today, churches are being transformed into places of entertainment, rock music fills the sanctuary, superheroes fly across the stage, people speak words no one understands and even children are taught to fall down physically as though compelled by the Spirit.

More Christians Killed in Nigeria as Media and Democrats Deny Genocide
If mainstream media and American Democrats and liberals are correct that the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria is merely a conflict over grazing land rather than a genocide, then why are so many Christians not only being killed but also abducted?
