According to an IDF source, the goal was to damage the Houthis’ main source of income and, in effect, impose a naval blockade on the terror organization.

President Donald Trump on Thursday seemed to signal openness to striking a trade deal with Iran if the Islamist theocracy agrees to dismantle its entire nuclear program. “Iran wants to trade with us. Okay? If you can believe that. And I’m okay with it. I’m using trade to settle scores and to make peace,” Trump said while speaking to Fox News anchor Bret Baier. “But I’ve told Iran, ‘We make a deal, you’re gonna be really happy.”

A Warning And A Blessing: Why We Should Consider It A Great Privilege To Live In Such A Time As This
Many ministries that focus on Bible prophecy are emphasizing the rising darkness and pointing to developments that will come to fruition during the Tribulation—after the Church has been raptured. Other evangelical ministries ignore any warning in their effort to emphasize only the grace and mercy of God—leaving those who reject Jesus’ offer of salvation oblivious that His wrath abides on them (John 3:36).

Trump Criticizes Previous US Foreign Policy: ‘So-Called Nation Builders Wrecked Far More Nations Than They Built’
This week, the world witnessed the quintessential President Donald Trump as he brokered major deals with leaders in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The meeting started late because he was personally negotiating the cost of a military aircraft contract. It was clear then — as it is now — that this is the president’s “happy place.” And for good reason: over his 78 years, he’s been remarkably successful at it.

Jordan’s King Warned US Against Assassinating Syria’s Sharaa Before Trump Meeting
Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned the US against assassinating President Ahmed al-Sharaa before the new Syrian leader met with President Donald Trump, a US senator said on Thursday. The remarkable statement by a US senator reveals the deep hostility toward Sharaa in some circles of the Trump administration. It reaffirms Trump’s own statements that he has been lobbied directly by foreign leaders to give Sharaa a chance, while his own advisors are skeptical. “One of the things that was pointed out to us by King Abdullah was that a change in leadership of that kind would create an all-out civil war in Syria.

“There Will Be Consequences” For Those Govt Officials Who Waged War Against The People Of This Land
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Jim Comey, former FBI Director wrote on Instagram about the message “86 47” laid out in seashells on the sand that he came across, innocently. You’d have to ask yourself: what was “cool” about that, exactly? Especially if, as Mr. Comey claimed on X soon after, that he didn’t know what it meant. Are things that you don’t understand “cool”? Maybe he was surprised to learn that people other than Jim Comey fans might see his cute coded clip and conclude that it wasn’t such an innocent little gag.

Israel Waited For Trump To Depart Gulf Before Launching Biggest Anti-Houthi Strikes Yet
Following more Houthi ballistic missile attacks targeting Israel in recent days, the IDF conducted a wave of new airstrikes in Yemen on Friday, and crucially as the US military has stepped back amid the Trump-declared ceasefire.

Several dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft were involved, in a major operation that included not just fighter jets, but refueler and surveillance planes.

A Pollfish survey of 1,000 managers across America, reported by Resume.com, revealed the reasons that eight in 10 managers said newly hired college graduates did not work out during their first year on the job.

What is China’s population, and why does it matter?
In recent months, Lei’s Real Talk has been publishing a series of videos explaining her investigation into how many people actually live in China – it is nowhere near 1.4 billion and never has been. Below, we have republished a summary of Lei’s Real Talk’s findings as submitted on Reddit. Why would China exaggerate their population statistics? One reason is for the allocation of international aid and whether the World Bank classifies a country as an aid recipient or as an aid donor.

The World Is Heading Toward Economic Captivity, And Through A Biblical Lens, This Is No Small Development
Two months ago, the United States Senate Banking Committee introduced what may prove to be a historic—and ominous—piece of legislation: the GENIUS Act. Framed as a long-overdue measure to establish a legal framework for stablecoins, this bill was in fact far more significant. It would have marked America’s first real step toward a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). For those watching global financial trends through a biblical lens, this is no small development.

To enable the “adoption” of the Pandemic Treaty next week, WHO is making up the rules as it goes along
The World Health Organization’s draft Pandemic Agreement is being presented to the 78th World Health Assembly (“WHA”) for adoption next week. However, this “adoption” is not what it seems. A critical part of the agreement, the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (“PABS”) System is proving controversial and is still to be negotiated. So, to enable the Pandemic Agreement to be “adopted” next week, WHO has devised a workaround – WHO is making up the rules as it goes along.

New Weather App Sparks Privacy Fears, Globalist Agenda Suspected
A so-called “upgrade” to America’s most popular weather apps is now raising red flags among privacy advocates and freedom-loving citizens. The issue? These apps are doing a lot more than tracking the rain—they’re tracking you. Behind the radar graphics and friendly forecasts, Big Tech is embedding deep surveillance tools tied to government agencies and corporate interests.

President Donald Trump reiterated that he wants the United States to take responsibility for Gaza, after earlier comments that he wanted to end the Gaza War “as quickly as possible,” which would indicate support for a ceasefire deal leaving the Palestinian Authority in power over the enclave. Speaking during the second leg of his Middle East visit in Qatar on Thursday, he said the U.S would “take” the Gaza Strip and make it into a “freedom zone.”

Ehud Olmert lobbies for Abbas instead of Israel
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is earning headlines once again for his unwavering support for Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority henchmen. There are many problems with Olmert’s statements. One of the most dangerous mistakes Olmert is making is spreading the lie that the Palestinian Authority wants to run Gaza without Hamas.

US targets Iran-backed Hezbollah with new sanctions
The latest sanctions come as President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States was getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran, and Tehran had “sort of” agreed to the terms.  The United States targeted two senior Hezbollah officials and two financial facilitators with new sanctions on Thursday for their role in coordinating financial transfers to the Iran–backed terrorist group, the Treasury Department said.

Where Do Trump’s Loyalties Lie During His Middle East Excursion?
Rumors have been swirling in the media and online as to whether President Trump has abandoned Israel for the Gulf states. I want you to know that whatever is done by the president of the United States or any other country cannot impact the future plan God has for my nation. Millennia have passed, and empires have come and gone, but Israel remains. Why? Because that is what God promised, and His word is irrevocable.

Assisted Suicide: New York Takes A Dangerous Step Toward Normalizing Death As A Commodity
At this rate, New York is on track to become the 11th state to legalize assisted suicide. In an 81-67 vote on April 29, the New York Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID). This law permits terminally ill patients to end their lives with a physician’s help. … the intentionally softer label of “assisted dying” — is a grave moral failing. It frames death as a solution to pain or inconvenience. It echoes the chilling “logic” behind abortion

The World’s Longing For Peace And Safety Will Play Right Into The Hands Of The Antichrist
It seems that nearly everywhere you turn, people are talking about peace. Though it continues to prove elusive, discussions of it spiked during the recent appointment of Robert Francis Prevost to the position of pope, under the papal name Pope Leo XIV. In fact, Euro News referred to it as a “pontificate of peace”. As world leaders congratulated the newly appointed pope, the usual empty platitudes rolled in, some of which I have outlined below:

Enhanced Risk issued for May 16 as tornadoes and severe storms threaten Ohio and Mississippi valleys, U.S.
A widespread severe weather threat is expected on Friday, May 16, 2025, as a strong low-pressure system moves from the Upper Midwest into the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, affecting Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Ohio.

Massive hailstorm in Beijing shatters windshields, causes traffic and flight chaos
A severe hailstorm struck Beijing on May 13, 2025, producing hailstones up to 4 cm (1.6 inches) in diameter that caused widespread vehicle damage, disrupted traffic, and led to flight cancellations. The storm triggered multiple alerts from the Beijing Meteorological Observatory and impacted 13 districts. Events of this magnitude are uncommon in Beijing, where hailstorms typically produce smaller hail and are more localized.

New research reveals bioelectrical coordination in trees during solar eclipse
A recent study reveals that Norway spruce trees in the Italian Alps exhibited synchronized bioelectrical activity during the March 2015 solar eclipse. Using high-resolution sensors, researchers detected collective responses to the eclipse’s rapid environmental changes, indicating a potential shared signaling mechanism among trees.

Royal College of Physicians changes its neutral stance and opposes the assisted suicide bill
“Kim Leadbeater’s euthanasia bill, officially known as the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, will have its Third Reading in the House of Commons tomorrow. On the eve of the vote, the Royal College of Physicians has stated it does not support the Bill. A group of leading social care organisations also raised serious concerns. These statements follow the withdrawal of support for the Bill by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The “death by doctor” bill is becoming the “death by politician” bill.”

China’s vanishing population: What role did covid play in the genocide that’s unfolding?
A great genocide is unfolding in China, Unite For Truth Edu says. Since 2020, China’s population has dropped from 800 million to 320 million. Last week, we published an article exploring the possible reasons for China’s vanishing population. In the video below, Unite For Truth Edu pulls together numerous reports and interviews which are linking an enormous death toll to the response to the covid “pandemic” and covid vaccination campaign, among other genocidal acts being carried out by the Chinese Communist Party.

Assisted Suicide: New York Takes A Dangerous Step Toward Normalizing Death As A Commodity
At this rate, New York is on track to become the 11th state to legalize assisted suicide. In an 81-67 vote on April 29, the New York Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID). This law permits terminally ill patients to end their lives with a physician’s help. The state Senate remains just seven votes shy of advancing the bill to a floor vote. But it can’t be too shocking, can it? After all, a 2024 YouGov poll revealed that at least 72% of New Yorkers support euthanasia. In one sense, it was only a matter of time before they legalized it.”

New Zealand promotes expensive cancer therapy while at the same time promoting one of the causes of cancer
New Zealand’s Stuff newspaper has been publishing a series of articles about using CAR T-cell therapy to treat lymphatic cancers. New Zealand has the highest rate of lymphoma in the world. In its zest to promote CAR T-Cell therapy, Stuff is ignoring the cause of New Zealand’s high rate of lymphoma cases.

Is President Trump About To Pull Off The Deal Of The Century?
“If President Trump can get the Iranians to agree to a deal that will permanently prevent them from producing nuclear weapons, it really will be the deal of the century. The Iranians absolutely hate us, and so just getting them to talk was a major achievement. But now we could be on the verge of something truly remarkable. If a peace deal can be achieved, we can avoid an apocalyptic military showdown in the Middle East, and that would be a wonderful thing for all of humanity. So let’s hope that this actually happens. According to President Trump, the Iranians have “sort of agreed to” the terms of a potential deal…”

Terror from Within: Michigan National Guardsman Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said Plotted Islamic Jihad Attack on Warren Military Base
A terrifying plot has just been exposed, revealing how Islamic extremism has infiltrated the U.S. military itself. Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, a 19-year-old from Melvindale, Michigan, who served in the Michigan Army National Guard, was arrested on May 13, 2025, while preparing to launch a mass Islamic terror attack against the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility in Warren, Michigan. His method? A coordinated Molotov cocktail and firearm assault, not just a mass shooting, but a full-scale Islamic jihad attack on behalf of ISIS.

The Much-Hyped “Peace Talks” Between Russia And Ukraine Are A Total Disaster So Far
There was so much hype about the “peace talks” that were supposed to happen between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey on Thursday. These were to be the first face to face negotiations between the two sides in three years, and many were hoping that they would ultimately lead to an end to the conflict. Unfortunately, these peace talks have turned out to be a total disaster so far. Russian President Vladimir Putin decided not to show up, and he didn’t send Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov either. Instead, he sent a “second-tier delegation” to negotiate with the Ukrainians…”
