An apology and thank you from an Iranian Christian to the IAF 
I am an Iranian woman who knows the evil nature of the Islamic Republic Regime in Iran, the enemy you fight while sacrificing your lives to protect your homeland and people.

An Iranian water resources expert has accused Israel and the United States of orchestrating a decades-long effort to divert rainclouds away from Iran, allegedly contributing to the country’s deepening water crisis, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported.

Arbabian alleged that Israel and the U.S., which he described as openly hostile to Iran, have been “gradually” working to manipulate regional weather patterns for over 40 years.

What Is Behind The Intense Disdain For Dispensational Theology?
Spend any amount of time online reviewing the content of Christian ministries and laypeople and you will find an intense amount of disdain for Dispensational theology. The one accusation that is constantly thrown at Dispensationalists is that we grow excited when tragedy strikes the world because it means our “escape” is growing ever closer. In effect, they twist the words of Pastor Rogers to mean that we celebrate catastrophe. But is this a fair and accurate assessment of Dispensational theology? Dispensational theology is simply a system of theology employing a literal, grammatical and historical approach to the Word of God. Or, more accurately, Dispensationalism is the product of a consistent, literal approach to Scripture.

Now We Are Witnessing Alarming Seismic Instability Along The East Coast, The New Madrid Fault Zone And The West Coast
Why are we suddenly seeing so much seismic activity all over the planet? Volcanoes just keep erupting one after another, and we just keep witnessing unusual earthquake swarms on major fault lines throughout the world. Last Tuesday, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck along the Pacific Ring of Fire near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia caused quite a bit of panic. Only five earthquakes that have ever been recorded have been larger than that earthquake. Subsequently, there has been some very alarming seismic instability here in the United States. For example, on Thursday a quake swarm that included a magnitude 4.3 earthquake hit southern California…

Christian-majority countries declining worldwide: Report UK, Australia, France and Uruguay no longer majority Christian
The number of countries with Christian majorities declined between 2010 and 2020, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center, highlighting a notable shift in global religious affiliation. As of 2020, Christians remained the majority in 120 out of 201 countries and territories analyzed, down from 124 in 2010. That means Christian-majority nations accounted for 60% of all countries surveyed, compared to 62% a decade earlier. The decline is largely attributed to a growing number of people leaving Christianity, contributing to the rise of religiously unaffiliated populations in multiple nations.”

Hey Canada, Your Failed Wildfire Management Is Poisoning America’s Skies
Representative John James, a Republican from Michigan, penned a blistering letter to Canadian leaders, warning their out-of-control wildfires are “poisoning the air and threatening the health of millions across Michigan and the Midwest.” Now, that toxic smoke is pouring into the Northeast, and soon, into New York City. Just when many thought Justin Trudeau’s leadership was disastrous, the beginning of the globalist Mark Carney era suggests things can and will likely get even worse.

Biotechnology and AI have become a religion
The rise of biotechnology and AI has created a new religion that promises a better life, but in reality, it poses significant risks to human health and freedom. Dr. Guy Hatchard explains more by demonstrating how what is happening in the USA is also about to happen in New Zealand if the Gene Technology Bill is passed. The Bill automates the adoption of gene technology, allowing for the rapid introduction of untested and harmful products, such as RNA-sprayed crops and aerosolised vaccines, as proposed by companies like Flagship Pioneering and EcoHealth Alliance in the USA. The combination of AI and biotechnology is leading to unfettered experimentation on human populations, with the potential for catastrophic consequences, he warns.

Bible Prophecy And The United Nations’ Demand For A ‘Two-State Solution’
It almost feels a bit surreal. I have been aware of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy at least since my seminary days in the late 1970s. As a young pastor, I spent many Sunday evenings teaching through the book of Daniel, … Now, as I watch the world clamoring to bring peace to the Mideast by seeking to impose a peace accord upon Israel, I wonder, “How much closer can we get to the Tribulation without the Rapture happening?”

DFL-backed Omar Fateh seeks left-wing takedown of already progressive Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey
On a since-deleted website, Fateh celebrated the Minneapolis City Council’s decision to defund the police and praised an amendment to the city charter that would have replaced the MPD. A Minneapolis Marxist looking to become the Zohran Mamdani of the North Star State is offering an even more extreme program of woke goodies on a platform that would enact race-based housing policy, prevent evictions from rental properties, and codify public financing for the state’s annual “Trans Equity Summit.”

He continued: “You see them wasting away in a dungeon. But the Hamas monsters surrounding them – they are well-fed, with thick arms. They have everything they need to eat. They are starving our boys the way the Nazis starved the Jews. And when I see this, I understand exactly what Hamas wants. They don’t want a deal – they want to break us with these horror videos, with the false and grotesque propaganda they spread around the world.” “But we will not break. I am filled with even greater determination – to free our kidnapped sons, to eliminate Hamas,

Hostage families: Hamas can’t hide its evil, each hostage death is on their hands
“Hamas’s announcement about their willingness to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver food to hostages, cannot hide the fact that we are dealing with an evil terrorist organization that has been holding innocent people in impossible conditions for over 660 days. We demand the immediate release of all 50 hostages. Until their release, Hamas has the obligation to provide them with everything they need. Hamas kidnapped them and they must care for them. Every hostage who dies will be on Hamas’s hands.”

Only three named storms (Andrea, Barry, and Chantal) have formed so far during this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. While it’s been quiet since hurricane season began on June 1, nearly 200 years of historical data suggest activity in the Atlantic Basin typically begins to ramp up around this time. The latest data from the National Hurricane Center shows an “area of disturbance” in the Atlantic Basin, with a 30% chance of forming over the next seven days.

The permanent protest-industrial complex, bankrolled by dark-money leftist NGOs, was at it again Saturday, orchestrating yet another nationwide demonstration, this time branded “Rage Against the Regime,” targeting President Trump. As with previous actions, the protests were primarily attended by crazed, elderly white liberals. The Democrats and their NGO machine have lost not just the narrative but are drifting deeper into irrelevance. The dark-money-funded NGOs behind the permanent protest-industrial complex have grown increasingly frustrated; so much so that they reportedly offered $20 million to a ‘rent-a-protester’ firm.

Iran Accused Of Kidnap Plot As US, Allies Warn Of Growing Threats In West 
It was a chilling message in a call from the police: “The Islamic republic is trying to kidnap you and take you to Iran.” Darya Safai, a Belgian lawmaker of Iranian origin, revealed details of the call this week. In an interview with RFE/RL’s Radio Farda, she said the plot followed earlier death threats from Iran. “The security forces themselves were really surprised at how it was possible for them to be going after a member of parliament because this is an open declaration of war against European countries,” she said.

A Real Life Economic Nightmare: How Would You Feel If You Had Applied For 900 Jobs Without Any Success At All?
If you have applied for hundreds of jobs and still find yourself out of work, you are certainly not alone. In many industries, it is absolutely brutal out there right now. U.S. employers have been laying off hundreds of thousands of workers in 2025, and there is immense competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available. So if you have a good job that you highly value, I would hold on to it as tightly as you can, because you don’t want to end up among the desperate hordes that are scrambling for work in this very harsh economic environment.
