Communism. Is It Here? You Tell Me.
From where does our commitment to freedom come? Are we living it? Do we fully grasp what is happening around us? Is communism creeping forward? Are we stepping up? If not us, who? Forty-two years ago, an Aeroflot plane put me down in Moscow, paint peeling, airport corridors lined with drunk Red Army soldiers, all with AK-47s. A pie-eyed Oxford student, raised in rural Maine by the Greatest Generation, the grayness, laziness, depression, and fear in people – was hard to digest. Communism had sucked the life, the once-Christian souls, out of this society.

The Government Accountability Office found fraud in Obamacare subsidies, including $94 million paid to insurers for deceased people, The committee on Wednesday announced the GAO’s findings, which included 58,000 Social Security Numbers receiving advanced premium tax credits that matched Social Security death data.

Britain is halfway into the Great Reset – Here’s the proof
Britain is being pushed into the Great Reset, with the government introducing new laws to limit freedom, and the economy is being deliberately destroyed through excessive taxation and wasteful spending, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.

Iraq briefly blacklists Hezbollah & Houthis before reneging under Iranian pressure
The Iraqi government designated the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah and Yemeni Houthis as terror groups before retracting the designation within several hours on Thursday. The Official Gazette of the Iraqi Justice Ministry published a document, dated to Nov. 18, listing and freezing the assets of the two terror groups among organizations suspected of terrorism and financing extremism. The move was most likely carried out under heavy pressure from Washington, as the Iraqi government is seen as being close to the Iranian regime.
Pope Leo Striking Out in Lebanon
Arriving in the war-torn and Hezbollah-dominated country, Pope Leo delivered public remarks ranging on a variety of topics – peace, religious coexistence, the country’s economic crisis, political divisions, and lingering effects of the Israel-Hezbollah war. He even delved into international diplomatic issues that would otherwise be far afield from his theological role as head of the Catholic church, seen by many as a foul ball. Urging Christians to remain without addressing the threats to them and the obligation to protect the Christian population is analogous to telling an abused wife to remain in her abusive home without ensuring her protection. Essentially, he threw his faithful under the wheels of his own Popemobile.
Admiral says there was no ‘kill them all’ order in boat attack, but video alarms lawmakers

The discovery expands what is known about Alexandrium, the palace fortress built by the Hasmonean king Alexander Yannai and later renovated by Herod the Great. Alexandrium was described by Josephus as “a fortress built in great splendor on a high mountain.” The site played a central role in the violent struggles within the Hasmonean dynasty and later in Herod’s rise, serving at various times as a place of imprisonment, hospitality, and even royal burial.
IAF strikes Hezbollah terror targets in Lebanon

‘Pro-Bible is pro-Israel,’ Huckabee tells 1,000 US pastors in Jerusalem
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Wednesday urged more than a thousand visiting American pastors and Christian leaders to “light the pulpits of America” with the truth about Israel, and to quash criticism of the Jewish state from both the left and the right with the facts and the Bible. “We need the pulpits of America to be on fire with the truth,” Huckabee said in a fiery address. “I pray that you don’t just go back home and say, ‘Oh, I had wonderful trip. I took some good pictures. I saw some wonderful sites.’ I hope you will go back to the U.S. with the fire of God burning in your bones and say it is time to be pro-biblical, because then you will find your voice to be pro-Israel.”
Tucker Carlson booed at the largest gathering of pastors in Israel since the establishment of the state.

Why Are So Many Tossing Away Biblical Faith?
In 2020, 64% of people of all ages were Christian. This number will shrink to between a little more than half (54%) and just above one-third (35%) of all Americans by 2070. But do not despair! There is hope in the headlines. And while what is happening in the church shocks us, it is not a surprise to God. … The core issue isn’t that people are falling away from church or even falling away from the faith. We’re talking about falling away as Judas did, from Jesus Himself. We’re talking about branches that cut themselves off from the vine. These are people who have—these words are stark—“trampled the Son of God underfoot . . . treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and . . . insulted the Spirit of grace” (Heb. 10:29). They Fall Away Because They Are Deceived
Ex–New York State official accused of spying for China called Hochul ‘more obedient’ than Cuomo, trial reveals

Trump Admin Dramatically Scales Back Work Permits For Asylum Seekers
The Trump administration is dramatically scaling back the timeframe in which asylum seekers and other foreign nationals can have valid work permits in the U.S. Work permits issued to foreign nationals who’ve applied for asylum or other humanitarian programs will only be valid for 18 months rather than five years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Thursday.

“We Must Protect Volodymyr”: Leaked Call Shows European Leaders Conspiring Against Trump Peace Plan
European leaders are claiming that Washington is looking to “betray” Ukraine and President Zelensky during potential formal peace negotiations with Russia. “There is a possibility that the United States will abandon Ukraine on territorial questions without providing clarity on security guarantees,” French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly said according to a “leaked” phone call record with other European leaders. Likely this was an intentional leak and bit of strong signaling to the Trump administration, as Europe has not been on board with the US President’s proposed peace plan from the start. Finland’s President Stubb followed with, “We must not leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these people” – after NATO Secretary General Rutte chimed in: “I agree with Alexander. We must protect Volodymyr.”

Announced Job Cuts Hit 1.17 Million In 2025 – 54 Percent Higher Than Last Year

The Media’s Lies Against Israel Are Being Revealed, But Will The Truth Matter?
“This came as no surprise to those paying attention to the media spin against Israel and the Jews in the last several years. This has been part of my frustrating struggle to expose the truth for over two decades. Finally, the WMDs or “weapons of mediatic destruction” against Israel have been found and exposed, but will it make a difference? Will the truth matter?”
BOMBSHELL: Texas School Choice Dollars Are Funding Muslim Brotherhood Kingpin, Who Helped Build U.S. Recruitment and Fundraising Networks for Hamas and Al-Qaeda
Texas taxpayers, through the state’s new school-choice voucher program, are now bankrolling Hamed Ghazali, a top Muslim Brotherhood operative explicitly named in the organization’s 1991 Explanatory Memorandum as a central architect of its plan to “destroy Western civilization from within and sabotage its miserable house.” Ghazali didn’t just preach the ideology; he helped build the U.S.-based recruitment and fundraising networks that fed Hamas and Al-Qaeda, even elevating operatives linked directly to Osama bin Laden’s inner circle.
Trump Blasts Somali Immigrants: ‘Their country stinks, and we don’t want them in our country.’
“President Trump flatly believes that Somali immigrants should pack their bags, their Sharia law, and go back to where they came from. Before criticizing the US, they should go home and fix their own country, according to the commander-in-chief. Instead, these Muslim immigrants are given a crapload of freebies, the freedom to practice militant Islam while taking over entire cities, and the ability to bilk US taxpayers out of billions that were meant for hungry children. All of that is evidently just fine by Democrats as long as Somalis vote for them.”
