Newsom Calls Trump ‘An Invasive Species’ At UN Climate Summit, Inking Agreements With Communist Governments
Crowned by global media outlets as the most important American at the United Nations “climate” summit in Belem, far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) slammed U.S. President Donald Trump as an “invasive species” while signing deals with hostile foreign governments. The American president, Newsom suggested, must be stopped in order to save the world from alleged man-made climate change. Newsom inked a number of unconstitutional quasi-treaties with foreign governments — several of which are dominated by self-proclaimed communist and socialist leaders hostile to the United States. All of it is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. In Article 1, Section 10, the U.S. Constitution prohibits these sorts of agreements. “No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation,” it says. As if that were not clear enough, Article 1, Section 10 also says: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, … enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power.”

Could A Small Venezuelan Island Be The Real Reason Behind the U.S. Military’s Caribbean Buildup
Here’s how a small Venezuelan island (Isla de Margarita), Iranian-backed terrorist groups, and U.S. housing may all connect within a sophisticated people-transportation network into the United States,”
Jason Lewris cited a text from a 2013 House Foreign Affairs Committee on the subject of “Hezbollah’s STRATEGIC SHIFT: A GLOBAL TERRORIST THREAT.” Hezbollah operatives and their co-conspirators hold senior positions in the Venezuelan Government. They provide travel documents, weapons, and logistics support to terrorist operations and cocaine smugglers as our witnesses will explain further.” Timing of the Caribbean operation is critical to understand, according to Lewris.

Belgium Paid an al-Qaeda Terrorist €350,000 After He Tried to Kill U.S. Soldiers — Then Released Him to Live Illegally in the Country
A Stunning Betrayal of Both Belgium and the United States. Belgium has now crossed into a realm that would once have seemed impossible even in Europe’s increasingly unstable political climate. The Belgian state has paid €350,000 in court-ordered compensation to convicted Tunisian jihadist Nizar Trabelsi, and then released him onto Belgian territory illegally, unable to deport him, unable to detain him, and unable to control him. The case exposes far more than bureaucratic incompetence. It reveals a nation — and a continent — that has lost the ability and even the will to defend itself, its allies, or its citizens.

Accountable To God: One Of Christianity’s Most Offensive And Important Teachings
The idea of divine judgment is probably one of Christianity’s most offensive teachings. I think this is because there’s a lot of misinformation about Hell and the Devil. For example, some like to think that Hell is a continuous party place. Another false assumption is that the Devil lives in Hell and has red skin, horns, hooves, and a pitchfork. But none of that is biblical. The Bible describes the Devil as the commander of the powers in the unseen world, the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God (Ephesians 2:2). He’s not in Hell now, but he’s going there one day.
