Netanyahu’s response to Khameini’s threats to destroy Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s vow to eliminate Israel, noting the irony of the timing of the threats while Iran is negotiating a nuclear treaty with the United States. “Today, the dictator of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, posted this,” the premier said, holding up a newspaper. “The title is, ‘Why the Zionist regime (that’s Israel) must be eliminated from the region.’”“So here you have the ruler of Iran openly declaring – again – that his goal is to destroy the State of Israel. And the most brazen thing about this is that he issues this while he’s negotiating – supposedly negotiating – peace with the United States.”

Bogged down in east Ukraine, Putin’s Russia eyes ‘opportunistic’ gains in northern Sumy
Russia’s grisly Palm Sunday attack on the city of Sumy has focused attention on the northern Ukrainian region where Kyiv says an expected Russian spring offensive is already under way. Experts say the push into Sumy is aimed at stretching Ukraine’s defensive lines and projecting an image of Russian progress on the front – even as Moscow’s war of attrition in the east grinds to a bloody stalemate.

Passover Offering Goes Mainstream and the Secret Story Behind It
On Tuesday, a Korban Pesach (Passover offering) was held in Romema, Jerusalem. While this is an annual occurrence, it is usually treated in the media as a gathering of fringe lunatics inciting Arab violence with little or no connection to Torah and Judaism. This year was decidedly different, with over 500 people attending an event sponsored and organized by the Jerusalem municipality. A fantastic but little-known back story explains the growing enthusiasm for this pre–Messiah event. “Eighteen years ago, we created a cornerstone for the Third Temple,” Rabbi HaLevy explained. Rabbi Eliyahu ruled that we must bring the Passover offering even while we lack the Temple and the ashes of the Red Heifer for purification.

Harvard’s ‘resistance’ to Trump isn’t about science or academic freedom
The school would rather lose $9 billion in federal funding than offend the left and give up woke indoctrination policies that enable and encourage antisemitism.

Trump assassination plot tied to ‘Satanic cult’: Report

According to the FBI, the cult “encourages violence, terrorism, sexual abuse, and child pornography” and promotes “anti-Judaic, anti-Christian, and anti-Western ideologies.”

If Negotiations With Iran Fail, The Course Of Human History Could Quickly Take A Turn In An Apocalyptic Direction
President Trump says that we have “a problem with Iran”, and he insists that he is going to be the one to solve that problem.  If the Iranians are willing to compromise, there is a chance that we could see a negotiated deal.  If the Iranians are not willing to compromise, there will be military action against Iran.  The Iranians are prepared to hit back with everything that they have got if their nuclear facilities are attacked, and once that happens there will be no turning back.  So there is a lot riding on the negotiations with Iran that began last weekend and that will continue this upcoming weekend.  If the negotiations go badly, the course of human history could take an apocalyptic turn very rapidly.

A Conspiracy Theory That Is Being Pushed By The Left Claims That Something Really Big Is Going To Happen On April 20th
Most people on the right have no idea just how crazed many people on the left have become.  Right now, a conspiracy theory which claims that President Trump is preparing to declare martial law in the United States is spreading like wildfire on social media.  According to that conspiracy theory, a report will be submitted to President Trump on April 20th which will recommend that he should invoke the Insurrection Act to help deal with the border crisis.  That would allow U.S. troops to help secure the border, but many leftists are convinced that President Trump will also use U.S. troops to round up political activists and send them to prisons in El Salvador.  I realize that this may sound really bizarre to many of you, but this is what many of them actually believe.

Iranian terror proxy demands ‘I don’t know’ responses to U.S. airstrikes discussions, but Yemenis turn the order into viral satire, exposing the group’s desperation to hide the truth
The directive amounts to a sweeping gag order: citizens are forbidden from speaking about or posting the names of targeted regions and sites, with anyone doing so branded a “spy for the U.S. and Israel.” While the Houthis see the campaign as a smart move to prevent the publication of American operational successes, critics have turned it into an online joke, mocking the terror group’s demand through memes and satirical posts.

No, A 50% Tariff Doesn’t Mean A 50% Price-Hike
Predictably, the panic-peddlers are out in force, warning that such a tariff means retail prices will skyrocket 50%. It’s an easy line to chant, but it’s wrong — flat wrong — and anyone with a basic grasp of economics should know better. Take a simple example. A retailer imports a widget with a $100 transaction value. Add a 50% tariff, and the cost to the importer becomes $150. That importer then sells it wholesale — perhaps at $200 — to a retailer, who marks it up again to $300 for sale. That $50 tariff is now 16.7% of the retail price. Even if every penny of the tariff is passed along, you’re not looking at a 50% increase in retail price — you’re looking at something closer to 17%.

Algos Follow the Money and Reveal Government Spending Porn
Override… “As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting. ‘We’re in,’ Akash Bobba messaged the team. ‘All of it.’ Edward Coristine’s code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor’s algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran’s analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn’t even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury’s operations than people who had worked there for decades. This wasn’t a hack. This wasn’t a breach. This was authorized disruption… ‘The beautiful thing about payment systems,’ noted a transition official watching their screens, ‘is that they don’t lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail.’

The “Monster Earthquake” That Just Hit California Is Another Reminder That A Cataclysmic Event Will Dramatically Alter The Geography Of The West Coast
A lot sooner than most people think, an absolutely cataclysmic earthquake will permanently alter the geography of the California coast.  Land on the western side of the fault line that is shaken by that great quake will suddenly sink by several feet, and that will allow the Pacific Ocean to come pouring in.  The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that just hit southern California is yet another reminder that this cataclysmic event is coming.  I will continue to sound the alarm about this cataclysmic event until the day that it happens.  In fact, this cataclysmic event is one of the things that I discuss in the secret new project that I have been working on.  There was a Hollywood blockbuster about a cataclysmic earthquake along the San Andreas fault that came out ten years ago.  What the region will eventually experience will be far, far worse than anything in that film.  So please help me sound the alarm, because those that get out in time will literally be saving their lives.
