DEI, transgender policies are being wiped out at dizzying pace across America
The political “vibe shift” inaugurated by Donald Trump’s election continues, with rollbacks of progressive projects proceeding across the country. The pace of these reversals is matched only by the dizzying speech with which DEI and transgender policies descended in the first place; the thing about top-down policy impositions, as I’ve noted before, is that Astroturf can be pulled up and discarded with surprising ease. Consider just a few recent examples.

After U.S. President Donald Trump’s special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff called uranium enrichment a “clear red line” on Sunday, the Iranian leadership was quick to respond, calling his position “unrealistic.” “We have one very, very clear red line, and that is enrichment.

‘A nightmare’: Female inmate describes ‘traumatic’ experience of being housed with biological males
An inmate at Minnesota’s Shakopee women’s prison says she’s been traumatized by the state’s policy allowing transgender-identifying males to be housed alongside female prisoners—calling her experience “the worst time I’ve ever had to live through.” Jamie Ali, who is currently incarcerated at the Minnesota Correctional Facility–Shakopee, spoke to Alpha News by phone and shared concerns about her mental health, physical safety, and what she calls repeated failures by the Department of Corrections (DOC) to protect vulnerable women.

Farewell to Vatican Silence – A Secret UFO Document Falls into the Hands of Pope Leo XIV, Recounting Unexplained Phenomena
What is the Vatican’s “UFO file”? Although talking about extraterrestrials in the context of the Church might seem crazy, the truth is that several scholars claim that Vatican texts contain historical accounts of flying objects, mysterious lights, and beings of non-earthly appearance.

Kanye West’s Song ‘Heil Hitler’ Shows Just How Trendy Antisemitism Has Become In The Entertainment Industry
Kanye’s music is almost always controversial and very often laced with explicit language. I guess that is one way to garner attention from the public. In the last couple of years, Kanye’s antisemitic rants have increased to the point where they are very difficult to ignore or brush off, and assign them a different meaning altogether. There is also a video of that same song, and they are both titled “Heil Hitler” Kanye’s behavior and multiple antisemitic rants are not even cloaked in anything else. He openly praises Hitler and displays swastikas any chances he has.

Why Are So Many World Leaders Refusing To Let Go of Macron’s Hand?

Baptize California Pastor Says America Is ‘on the Precipice’ of a Spiritual Awakening
Three years ago, Pastor Mark Francey sensed God calling him to launch a mass baptism event in a state many had written off — California — in hopes of sparking a major spiritual movement. The pastor of Oceans Church in Orange County obeyed — first by launching 2023’s “Baptize SoCal,” where more than 4,000 people were baptized at Pirate’s Cove in Corona del Mar, Calif., and then with 2024’s “Baptize California,” which saw 6,000 baptized along Huntington Beach on a Saturday and another 6,000 in churches across the state on Sunday. This year’s Baptize California at Huntington Beach culminated with 7,752 individuals immersed — possibly marking the largest one-day baptism event in American history.

Walmart And Target Are Really Jacking Up Their Prices
Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord? Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products. Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

Why Is The U.S. Being Hit By One “Apocalyptic Disaster” After Another Right Now?
Have you noticed that America has been getting pummeled by a series of major natural disasters in recent days? Dozens of immensely powerful tornadoes have carved trails of destruction across the middle of the country, Chicago was just hit by an “apocalyptic” wall of dust, and a plague of millions upon millions of crickets is causing chaos in Utah. Some have pointed out that what we are currently going through is eerily similar to what the U.S. experienced during the days of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Others are wondering if the weird behavior of the Sun has anything to do with the disasters that we are now seeing. But what everyone should be able to agree on is that what we are witnessing right now is certainly not normal.

How The Rejection Of Bible Prophecy Paved The Way For Paula White’s Disturbing Rise To Power
The dearth of sound biblical teaching on Bible prophecy has created a void that false teachers have filled with a wide assortment of wayward beliefs regarding the church, Jesus’ appearing, the Second Coming, and Israel. As a result, the prevailing false view in the Christian community is that the church will someday prevail over the ills and evils of our world and inaugurate millennial conditions throughout the world before Jesus returns to the earth. Lest anyone think that such teaching, known as Dominion Theology, is of little or no consequence for our day, one of its chief proponents now has an office inside the White House. Paula White’s Rise to Prominence …

Tattoos are not harmless,” Many tattoo inks contain chemicals that have been classified as carcinogenic—or cancer-causing—by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

GPS Disruption Reported In World’s Most Critical Maritime Chokepoint
UKMTO provided no further information on the source of the GPS interference. However, if it was caused by a foreign adversary such as Iran, GPS interference in the critical maritime chokepoint would be considered a form of hybrid warfare. GPS interference or spoofing falls into the domain of non-kinetic warfare—it doesn’t involve firing weapons but can degrade vessel operations in the strait. The incident occurred after Iran’s president and the US agreed to continued nuclear talks on Saturday.

The Great Simmering In The West
People all over the world are worried about the future. While regional wars continue to fester, the prospect of global war weighs heavily on many. However, likely belligerents are not all foreign aggressors. Nearly a century of globalization has erected a web of clunky international institutions that wield tremendous power while disregarding sovereign borders. Concomitantly, mass immigration has transformed once-homogenous national populations into stews of many competing cultures and religions. Battle lines forming inside nations are more serious than those forming among them.

12 Facts That Prove That Our Society Is Causing Boys To Fall Way Behind Girls From A Very Early Age
Does our society treat boys like malfunctioning girls?  In this article, I am going to show you a whole bunch of numbers which prove that our boys have fallen behind our girls in many different areas.  From a very early age, our society tends to reward feminine characteristics and it tends to suppress masculine characteristics.  Little boys just don’t like to sit still and pay attention for long stretches of time.  They are designed to be hunters and explorers and adventurers.  But our schools are not designed for hunters and explorers and adventurers.  As a result, boys tend to have disciplinary problems more often than girls, and girls tend to get higher grades than boys.

As The Sun Goes Nuts, Unusual Natural Disasters Are Occurring All Over The Globe
Why is the mainstream media in the United States being so quiet about what is happening on the Sun?  The giant ball of fire that we revolve around makes life on this planet possible, and it has started to behave very erratically.  This should definitely be getting a lot more attention, because the link between solar activity and seismic activity has been well established by now.  Some scientists still try to dispute this, but the truth is that when the Sun becomes more active we tend to see more large earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions.  And of course if a large enough solar storm erupts, it could fry our power grids and throw our entire society into a massive state of chaos.

We risk a two-tier blasphemy law, fit for Starmer’s two-tier Britain, Robert Jenrick MP warns
Citing a recent incident of a man who was charged for burning a Quran, Robert Jenrick MP argues that burning a religious text as an act of protest should not be a criminal offence, and that doing so would create a two-tier blasphemy law that only applies to one particular religion – Islam. “It’s a two-tier blasphemy law, fit for Keir Starmer’s two-tier Britain,” he writes.
