Leaving Islam for Christianity: One man’s message for Minnesotans about Democrats, Muslims
He once wanted to die for Allah, but courageously left Islam for Christianity—and now he’s working to save Muslims around the world. The goal of Islam is to bind itself with leftism, with the Democratic Party,” Faridi said. Mohamad Faridi, a former Muslim and now a Christian minister, shared his journey and his message for Minnesotans with Liz Collin on her podcast. In speaking about his perspective on Islam, Faridi said, “There’s nothing divine about it, it’s just a political movement.”  Faridi soon became a part of an “underground” Christian church. “I distributed Bibles, CDs, and other things and I was threatened many times,” he recalled. “ “What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s a staggering, industrial-scale fraud. It’s swamping Minnesota and calling into question everything we know about our state.”

The weapon that could hand the Middle East to the Muslim Brotherhood
In 2018, the F-35 was America’s most expensive mistake. After burning through $55 billion in research and development, the stealth fighter was plagued by mechanical failures. Aerospace experts wrote it off as a boondoggle that would never work in real combat. Then Israel got its hands on it. “It was supposed to be a bane rather than boon for American defense,” Ettinger said. But Israel became the first nation to use the F-35 in actual combat operations—and everything changed. Now Turkey—the top patron of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood—wants one.

States Try to Snuff Out Lab-Grown Meat Before It Really Starts
Lab-grown meat could be widely available in supermarkets across the U.S. in 10-15 years. But should it be?

However, some states have already answered this question – with a hard “no.”

EXPOSED: Tulsi Was Right, The Left Lied Again — Paterson Bragged About Being Islamized
…While the media shouts “Islamophobia,” Paterson’s leadership celebrates that the city feels like an Islamic country rather than an American one. In their own words, Paterson is described as “the Arab city within America,” a place that feels “like being in a foreign country,” where residents boast that one can thrive without learning English. The city is openly branded as “Palestine al-Soghra,” or Little Palestine, and municipal leaders renamed Main Street “Palestine Way” as a political statement. These are their admissions.

MERRY CHRISTMAS: Holiday ‘Tips’ from the Religion of Peace

Iran opens new front in its war against the US

After renewed objections from Jewish groups, the US Coast Guard again removed language referencing a proposed policy that would have stopped classifying swastikas as hate symbols.

Canada Is Building The Wrong Army For The War That Is Coming
The next major land war will not reward elegance, boutique modernization, or the comforting belief that advanced technology can replace mass and endurance. It will expose armies built on fragile assumptions. Concealment has largely disappeared. Attrition has returned as a central fact of combat. Sustainment shapes outcomes as decisively as firepower. Yet the Canadian Army remains organized, equipped, and intellectually anchored to a vision of warfare that belonged to yesterday’s world.

Naval Reactors For AI Data Centers
And while multiple companies and developers are working on solutions for on-site, “behind-the-meter” power for AI data centers – with little practical success to date – one power developer has formally proposed an idea that has been informally discussed for years.

OUTRAGE IN TEXAS: Dallas Police ARREST Christian Street Preachers for Refusing to “Back Off” While Preaching on Public Property

The Missiles Were Loaded Into The Launchers With Care…
Major powers all over the globe are getting their missiles ready.  You would think that more people would be alarmed by this, but most of the population just continues to party like it’s 1999.  The drumbeats of war are intensifying all around, and yet just about everyone seems to believe that there is no reason for concern.  But as the world celebrates “peace”, will sudden destruction break out instead?

What corporate media refuses to say about how the world is run

The Arabification of North Texas
Arabic-language real estate influencers are now openly promoting Dallas–Fort Worth as a destination for Arab and Iraqi families—not merely as a place to find jobs or affordable housing, but as a fully developed community ecosystem with cultural, educational, and religious infrastructure already in place.

Agenda 2030 in Small Town U.S.A.
The UN Agenda 2030 is becoming reality for cities and towns across the country. A recent example from small-town Arkansas comes from a resident, who writes: Our city council has adopted a plan called Discover Paragould 2042….The city of Paragould essentially wants to turn us into a big homeowners association, where nobody owns a yard, and everything is in walking distance (as in 15-minute cities)… few people are paying attention, so this is going to happen.

Jews have come home in unbelief – Exactly as the prophets said
The Jewish people are returning to their ancient land largely in unbelief. Most Israeli Jews today do not confess Yeshua as Messiah, and many are secular or loosely observant. And yet, after 2,000 years of dispersion, they are home again — in roughly the same numbers as before the Holocaust, and on the same narrow strip of land the Bible calls Israel. For many evangelicals who love Israel and follow the headlines — from the trauma of October 7 to the ongoing war of words and rockets — that combination of return and unbelief can feel confusing. For the prophets, it was expected. This is not a glitch in God’s plan. It is part of the script.

Former IDF special forces veteran Mansur Ashkar warns of a growing jihadist threat forming on Israel’s northern border.
