After Gaza captivity, freed Israeli hostage sees no peace ‘in our generation’ 
When Tal Shoham walks through Kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel, where he and his family were abducted by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, he says it feels like a graveyard filled with the horrors of the attack. While remembering the calmer days before the assault, he has little expectation that U.S. President Donald Trump’s pressure on Israel and Hamas to strike a deal will deliver a lasting peace with the Palestinians any time soon, even as negotiators gather in Egypt for talks to end the two-year Gaza War.

How Trump’s border crackdown has choked cartels’ fentanyl flow into the US
According to Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, the Biden administration seized enough fentanyl to kill 14 billion people—but that only counts what was caught. the quantity of drugs is dropping because the Trump administration has made it a priority. It has made the Mexican government make it a priority.” “The cartels are deliberately tapering off on the amount of fentanyl they’re sending to the United States,” he added. “The cartels are scared.” The findings underscore a stark contrast with how former president Joe Biden handled border issues.

Regev’s suggestion is reportedly under review by Israeli security officials.

Bible Prophecy Doesn’t Tell Us That Society Will Get Better, But We Can Rejoice That God Is In Total Control
When speaking of the world’s slow decline into an acceptance of evil, the analogy has been used of a frog slowly being boiled in a frying pan of water. Because the process was slow, the cold-blooded frog couldn’t detect the deadly increase in water temperature. Nowadays, the frog is in a microwave. The encroachment of evil is no longer subtle. It has become both blatant and celebrated. This shouldn’t be disheartening to believers. When these things come to pass, we can rejoice that God is in total control. His Word said this would happen, and it certainly is happening.

Now They Have A Version Of The Flu That Has A 100% Death Rate In Mammals
Why would scientists purposely try to make the flu more deadly? During the flu pandemic of 1918, it is estimated that somewhere between 50 and 100 million people died globally. But apparently that is not good enough, and so they have come up with a far deadlier version, and they have published their findings so that any terrorist organization in the world could potentially copy their work. As I have repeatedly pointed out to my readers, man-made pestilences are one of the greatest existential threats that we face. What they are doing is literally insane, but nobody is going to stop them. So what happened when they tested this “Frankenstein” virus? Well, it killed every single one of the mammals it was tested on, and the researchers discovered that it could infect human blood cells, that it could use human immune cells to spread, and that it could actually invade the brain…

Was The CIA Misleading Witkoff & Kushner On Key Intel About Hamas During Critical Phase Of Peace-Talks
Witkoff reveals how the CIA was briefing them both, multiple times a day, and the briefing itself was exactly the opposite of what Emir of Qatar and Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. What they are describing is EXACTLY why we outlined how ‘outside govt’ emissaries were/are vitally necessary to work around the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

The Crisis And Revolution Hidden In Plain Sight
While we focus on AI and finance, society is crumbling beneath our feet. According to both the mainstream media and social media, the forces that will shape the future are … technology, finance and market forces–the core drivers of the global economy.

Millions Of America’s Teens Are Being Seduced By AI Chatbots
Our kids are being targeted by AI chatbots on a massive scale, and most parents have no idea that this is happening.

Ending war in Gaza early would have meant Israel’s ‘days were numbered,’ says Netanyahu
“If I gave in to the dictate to stop the war, I knew the days of the State of Israel would be numbered,” Netanyahu stated in an interview with the right-wing channel’s flagship show, “The Patriots,” on Saturday night. Now-slain Hamas terror leader Yahya Sinwar “would emerge with other countries and become a modern-day Saladin,” he said,

“Coup d’Flat”: Billionaire-Funded ‘No Kings’ Color-Revolution Turns Into White Liberal Boomer Parade As Dems Become National Laughingstock
The Democratic Party’s dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, unleashed a highly coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization nationwide on Saturday; the same tactics U.S. intelligence agencies have used overseas for years in regime-change operations. Yet the turnout wasn’t dominated by unhinged young leftists or gender-confused woke warriors, but rather by white baby-boomer liberals, a mobilization effort that NGO expert Mike Benz described as a “Coup d’f́lat.” The nation is waking up to the fact that dark-money NGO networks, including the Arabella Network, Soros Network, Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Tides Foundation, Rockefeller Network, Singham Network, and many others, are funneling millions of dollars into what investigative researchers Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute call “Riot, Inc.”

Does the Bible Say Things That Harm Women?
Sometimes I see a video that—even after everything I’ve seen over 50 years of ministry—still shocks me. And a recent video from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is one of those videos as an ELCA spokeswoman claims that numerous verses of Scripture are “harmful” to women and girls but, not to worry, we can just not take those verses literally! “We now recognize”—in other words, man (or woman) is the authority, not God and his Word. And that becomes abundantly obvious later in the video. Basically, any chapter that gives women a specific command feminists don’t like is “harmful” to women (based on their arbitrary standard of “harmful,” of course).

What Should Christians Think About Widespread Billionaire ‘Dooms Day’ Prepping?
Billionaire prepping is mushrooming across the globe. Billionaires are digging in—literally—seeming to share a collective sense that the world is headed to an “age of apocalypse.” Some chalk it up to paranoia, others believe they may be onto something. One article referred to it as “Utopias, dystopias, and Star Wars fantasies.” What seems to be driving their deepest fears is artificial intelligence (AI) as well as its next phases, which are being called artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial super intelligence (ASI)—when machines are able to outthink, outplan, and perhaps outlive human beings.

Rafah was almost entirely destroyed during the two-year war with Hamas, and remained under IDF control in the ceasefire agreement. a group of Hamas terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at an engineering vehicle operating in the Rafah area, which is the area designated under Israeli military control. “This constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, and the IDF will respond with force,” the military concluded.

Mysterious ravaged city ruins linked to the Bible’s Sodom and Gomorrah discovered
Archaeologists excavating near Jordan’s southeastern Dead Sea have uncovered evidence that may link the biblical ‘sin cities’ to real historical sites. The discoveries include Sodom at Bab edh-Dhra and Gomorrah at Numera, both showing Early Bronze Age occupation, fire-ravaged ruins and permanent abandonment. Admah and Zeboim, associated with Fifa and Khanazir, also had signs of occupation and destruction, though further excavation is needed to confirm their identities. Zoar, near modern Safi, stood out for its continuous habitation from the Bronze Age through the Byzantine period, with excavations uncovering churches, tombstones, Nabataean remains and a cave tied to an ancient prophet said to have pleaded for God to spare the city for his refuge.

Ukrainian drone strike forces Russia’s largest gas plant shut down 
Russia’s largest gas processing plant was forced to shut down — at least partially — after a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire and caused major damage on Sunday, officials said. The plan stopped taking in natural gas from Kazakhstan following the overnight attack at the Orenburg processing plant, the largest facility of its kind on the planet, Kazakhstan’s energy ministry said. The damage and processing freeze is yet another blow to Moscow — as Kyiv continues to bombard energy facilities in the hopes of crippling Russia’s ability to wage war.

Dramatically Reduced Christmas Spending, Soaring Defaults And Empty Shelves: 14 Signs That The Condition Of The U.S. Economy Is Worse Than You Think
It feels like someone has pulled a plug, because the U.S. economy is suddenly caught in an extremely alarming downward spiral. As I discussed at the end of last week, investors are flocking to gold and silver because they can see that a storm is coming. We have reached a point where most of the country is experiencing significant economic pain, and as a result people are starting to get really careful with how they spend their money. The cost-of-living crisis has caused most of us to tighten our belts, defaults are absolutely soaring, and food bank lines are getting even longer. If conditions continue to deteriorate like this, what will 2026 look like?

Russia now may be losing 50,000 troops a month—and Putin has no easy options
We don’t know for sure how many Russian troops are dying in Ukraine right now. But it’s more than the Kremlin can replace. Is Russia losing 30,000 troops a month as its wider war on Ukraine grinds into its 44th month? Or is it losing more than that—50,000 a month … or even more? As the Russians shove more and more regiments and brigades into the narrow salient northeast of the fortress city of Pokrovsk, their casualties are increasing.
