Do “Text with Jesus” Apps Help People “Explore Scripture”?
Want a direct line to Jesus Christ where he speaks to you personally? Well, apparently you need look no further than “Text with Jesus,” one of a variety of apps that allow you to “chat” with Jesus, Moses, and other biblical figures. Do these kinds of apps help people “explore Scripture,” as the creator claims? Or are they utter blasphemy? The creator, who is currently “not particularly religious,” said about his app, We expected some pushback, especially from those who worry about AI taking on roles tied to faith. . . . But, overall, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Is such an app just a “fun, accessible way” to discover Scripture and spirituality? Now, this app isn’t just claiming to represent Jesus by quoting his words—it’s claiming to be Jesus.

A Russian drone strike severely damaged Kherson’s only synagogue on Thursday, narrowly missing its rabbi, who had stepped outside just moments before the blast. Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolff, the city’s longtime Chabad-Lubavitch emissary, had gone to affix a mezuzah at the home of a community member when the attack occurred. “There’s damage, but it’s not destroyed and it’s fixable,” he said, explaining that the projectile pierced the building’s walls but did not detonate.

Erdogan’s “power equation”: Turkey’s anti-Israel incitement grows as effigy of Netanyahu hung from crane
Turkey intensifies its rhetoric against Israel as protesters hang a Netanyahu effigy with a “death penalty” sign; Erdogan vows Turkey is indispensable to Gaza’s future, despite reports Israel vetoed its role in an international stabilization force. Yet as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan deepens his involvement in Gaza, it appears unlikely he will easily abandon his backing of Hamas or his hostility toward Israel.

Knowing Christ’s Return Is Imminent, What Must We Do To Be Ready?
When it comes to the Rapture, it’s often said that a person must prepare, and so, “Be ready!” This saying is implied by Jesus Himself, who said in Luke 21:28, “Now when these things begin to happen…” (“things” meaning when the signs of the end times begin to occur), then “look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” In other words, Jesus was commanding His followers to “Be ready!” because He will indeed return, and when He does, look up because His return will be swift.

President Trump’s Monroe Doctrine 2.0 plan, focused on hemispheric defense, centers on securing the homeland and the wider Western Hemisphere.

Trump’s Unmatched Diplomacy Frees Historic Numbers of Wrongly Detained Americans 
Continuing a trend from his first term, President Donald Trump has freed dozens of Americans wrongfully detained abroad throughout the first nine months of his second term. In total, the Trump administration has secured the release of at least 73 Americans since January, including some who had been held in foreign prisons for multiple years. Though the corporate media has been reluctant to report on it, freeing American citizens remains one of Trump’s most underappreciated legacies that underscores his expertise as a negotiator – his famous mastery of “the Art of the Deal.”

‘Bigger Than Watergate’: New Testimony Reveals The Biden Administration’s Corrupt Surviellence Of Republicans
When you launch a full-throated attack on a United States president in the middle of his re-election bid, then you indict him and try to throw him in jail… you’d better be prepared for the consequences that could follow.

“Suitcases Filled With Dollars”: Venezuela Reportedly Propped Up America’s Radical Left To Sow Chaos 
Some have described the drug death crisis as a “reverse Opium War.” Last week, President Trump authorized covert CIA operations inside the country, an escalation that only suggests command and control structures of drug cartels will be targeted. He noted, “No to CIA-orchestrated coups d’état.”
Venezuela has been exporting left-wing political influence operations, some of which may be linked to dark-money-funded NGO networks. If accurate, the report suggests that stopping the radical left from destabilizing the U.S. and attempting to collapse capitalism to install a socialist or Marxist system may require scrutinizing foreign-linked networks. And perhaps that’s why Venezuela is front and center with the Trump administration.

Reality Vs Garbage: Has AI Already Lost The ‘I’ Part
First of all, get this: A-I has already quit operating as-advertised. It has lost the “I” part. A-I does its thing by rapidly combing through the Internet to evaluate and seize information that you request. Increasingly, A-I colonizes the Internet with second-hand, third-hand, and so forth A-I-generated information. The more territory A-I seizes on the Web, and the more it trains itself on recursive feedbacks of its own garbage, the more distorted the output gets. As that occurs, A-I becomes increasingly abstracted from Reality, which is exactly what happens when a person goes insane.

Genocide in Nigeria: Islamic terror groups are killing en masse and aim to eliminate 112 million Christians and 13 million others by 2075 
Intersociety reports that approximately 125,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria due to Islamist militant attacks since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009.  More than 7,000 Christians were killed in the first 220 days of 2025 alone. This is part of a broader pattern of violence that has led to the displacement of millions and the destruction of thousands of churches, with Intersociety warning that Christianity could be wiped out in Nigeria by 2075 if the current trend continues.

Basic Civics for the No King Protesters
Picture this: thousands of Americans standing in the streets, screaming that they live under tyranny. They’re holding professionally printed signs. Television cameras capture every chant. Social media amplifies every accusation. Police stand by, doing nothing. And yet these protesters are absolutely convinced — down to their bones — that they’re living under a king. Welcome to Trump Derangement Syndrome, where self-contradiction becomes performance art…. The protesters reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of how the American government was designed to work.

Rubio at Gaza coordination HQ: Israel has met its ceasefire commitments, Hamas must disarm
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said “there is no plan B” for Gaza, only President Trump’s broad peace plan, and that annexation of the West Bank by Israel would be “a threat to the peace process.” Rubio said Israel has met its commitments under the first phase of the 20-point Trump plan, and that Israel would have to be “comfortable” with the makeup of the international force that will enter Gaza in the second phase, which is still being hashed out. Hamas will have to release the remains of deceased hostages and disarm, he said, adding that UNRWA will not be permitted to help deliver aid to Gaza because it is a “subsidiary” of the terror group.
