‘Chimps And Humans Aren’t Related’: Viral Creation Museum Tweet Flagged By Angry ‘Fact Checkers’
Answers in Genesis was recently slapped with a “fact-check” (community notes) on X. But the so-called “fact-check” needed some fact-checking because it repeated a major piece of evolutionary propaganda that’s been disproven by the evolutionists’ own research! … that conclusively showed that the 98% number is grossly inflated and highly inaccurate. In other words, it’s nothing but misinformation and propaganda.

It Literally Never Stops: The Earth Is Being Absolutely Pummeled By Disaster After Disaster
So many disasters are happening so frequently that it is almost impossible to keep up with them all. Somehow, 2025 has become “the year of the flood” and “the year of the fire” simultaneously. 2025 is also the year of the largest earthquake that we have witnessed this decade. The magnitude 8.8 earthquake that recently shook the Pacific Ring of Fire was quickly followed by hundreds of other very large earthquakes. Overall, there were 494 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 within a recent 30-day period.

86 Percent Of Americans Feel Stressed About The Cost Of Groceries, And Many People Are Starting To Really Flip Out Emotionally
Why are social media platforms filled with videos of Americans complaining about grocery prices right now? Needless to say, those videos must be striking a chord, because some of them are receiving millions of views. Government bureaucrats are telling us the cost of food is only going up a few percentage points per year, but we can all see that’s a load of nonsense. A trip to the grocery store has become an enormous expense, and this is especially true if you have kids to feed. As I wrote about earlier this month, one survey found that in 25% of U.S. households, at least one person is skipping meals so there will be enough money to pay the bills. Sadly, we’re warned that the cost of groceries will go even higher in the months ahead.

Carbon Footprint of Your Heart Surgery: When Climate Zealotry Invades the Operating Room
If anyone ever needed a perfect illustration of how climate obsession has infected even the most sacred realms of human life—medicine—look no further than this earnest study from the European Heart Journal proposing to weigh cardiac procedures not in terms of survival, outcomes, or cost-effectiveness, but by their “carbon footprint.” That’s right.

What you think about Israel matters to God.
Like a watershed, Israel seems to be dividing people left and right. Not in a political sense so much, since the Jewish state is being denounced from both sides of the political spectrum, but in the sense that sitting on the fence doesn’t seem to be an available option. It feels like people are being forced to choose: for, or against? Though it may be a democratic, forward-looking nation that supports freedom for all its citizens, Israel is not a perfect representation of biblical values. Of the ten million Jewish and Arab citizens, some 70% are secular (many of whom identify as atheists), and less than half a percent of Israelis believe in Jesus.

Arab League breaks with Hamas: A new era of Middle East politics 
The joint declaration from the Arab League, for the first time explicitly condemning Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack and demanding the group disarm and end its rule in Gaza, is far more than a diplomatic footnote. It represents a tectonic shift in the Arab world’s relationship with the Palestinian cause and with Israel. After decades of either overt support or strategic silence, the majority of Arab nations have now decisively turned their backs on the armed faction of the Palestinian national movement.

Ancient wine flows again as 1,000-year-old grape seeds revive in Israel’s Negev 
Once a global hub of wine production, an ancient tradition has been revived in the Negev desert with grape seeds that are 1,000 years old.

Iran vows to make Trump-backed corridor a ‘graveyard’ after Azerbaijan-Armenia peace framework
Under the sponsorship of U.S. President Donald Trump, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan shook hands in what Washington hailed as a major diplomatic achievement — one that will give the U.S. exclusive development rights to a strategic transport corridor between the two countries. The plan, known as the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), would run across southern Armenia, linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave and, in turn, to Turkey. Ali Akbar Velayati, top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warned that “this corridor will not become a passage owned by Trump, but rather a graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries.”

Michael Goodwin: Netanyahu taking control of Gaza will end the Israel-Hamas war for good
Hamas has shown repeatedly it isn’t interested in signing a cease-fire and hostage deal that Israel can accept. Against that reality, it’s hard to argue with Netanyahu’s conclusion that only added military pressure can change the terrorists’ calculations. An aide to Netanyahu put it this way in a media statement: “We are not willing to remain in the current limbo and we are not willing to surrender to Hamas’ demands — so essentially only one option is left, to take a drastic step. This is the last card we have left.”
