Incoming IDF Head Hints at Third Temple

 The Temple Mount is certainly the second hand on God’s prophetic clock.  And today we read that the new head of the Israeli military went to the Western Wall and tucked in a prayer.  That’s as close as Jews are allowed to the Temple Mount.  Meanwhile ON the Temple Mount there were 90,000 Muslims gathered there for Ramadan prayers.  Something is very wrong with this picture happening in Jerusalem.  But events are going to get much, much worse for the Jews before they get better.  And talk of the 3rd Temple happening in Israel sounds like great news, and it will be at first, but the Antichrist is the dude who may bring it about.  For sure he will go into it one day and declare himself to be God.  When that happens halfway through the 70th Week of Daniel, all hell will break loose for God’s chosen people as the Antichrist begins his extermination plans.

Remember, the Jews are CHOSEN to demonstrate blessings and curses and to deliver the word of God and bring forth the Messiah Jesus.  They are not chosen for salvation and need to come to it through Jesus just like the rest of us gentiles.

*******************

After the ceremony, Zamir went to the Western Wall, accompanied by his family, including his sons, Ori and Itai. Also present was the outgoing Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi. The group recited psalms and prayed for the welfare of IDF soldiers and the State, adding prayers for the return of the hostages. After adding personal prayers, the two generals placed notes between the stones of the Wall. 

Following their visit to the Western Wall, both signed the Western Wall Heritage Foundation’s guestbook. Zamir added the message, “At the Western Wall, where the Temple was built, and the roots of the Jewish people were established. “

Interestingly, through a quirk of Hebrew grammar, the phrase ‘where the Temple was built’ could also be understood as ‘where the Temple will be built.’ From the context, it seems clear that Zamir intended the past tense, noting that the Jewish Temple once stood at the site. However, as a native Hebrew speaker, he may have intended to imply a more expansive meaning, including a vision for the future.

If Yellowstone Volcano Explodes, America is Gone

No wonder the folks on earth who don’t know Jesus are starting to come unhinged.  Every day there is more information that surfaces to show how out of control events on earth actually are.  Russia, Iran, North Korea start WWIII and nukes could destroy us!  Climate change is going to kill billions of starvation and start a global war.  An asteroid is coming that could destroy an entire nation.  The ozone is vanishing, the sea level is rising, the glaciers are melting, etc…

But Jesus did tell us that the last years on earth immediately before he sets foot on the Mount of Olives will be off the charts.  He said that it will get so bad that if His return to stop it didn’t happen when it does, no flesh on earth would survive.

Today we read about another catastrophe that could destroy America this very day.  We’ve written about if many times in the past decade but it’s in the news again because of earthquake swarms happening there.

Thank you Jesus you made all things and you sustain all things!  Nothing happens beyond your control.

********************

Volcanoes that were dormant for centuries are starting to come back to life all over the globe.

The giant rock that we are all living on is becoming increasingly unstable, and that should greatly concern all of us.

If Yellowstone were to blow tomorrow, the consequences would be absolutely cataclysmic.

Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of almost complete darkness.  Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone National Park would be immediately wiped out, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver.

 Extremely hot ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks.  In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those areas to survive.  In fact, it has been estimated that at least 90 percent of the population that is living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed.

Experts tell us that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable.  The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible.

In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today.

The rest of the world, and this would especially be true for those living in the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “volcanic winter”.  We would enter an extended period of “global cooling”, and average temperatures around the world would drop by up to 20 degrees.  Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would likely kill billions.

Europe Talking About Prepping for War

 In the past few weeks there has been a serious wake up call given to European leaders.  After Trump went rogue on Zelenskyy and Vance lectured EU on free speech, Europe has been panicking as they realize that maybe America isn't going to "send the cavalry!" every time Europe cries.

If that's the case, how in the heck are these nations that hate guns, are filled with Muslims, have rejected the God of the Bible and can no longer differentiate between a man and a woman...how will they put together a European army willing to die for each other?

It will be interesting to watch.

Also, from our previous post, remember that if Europe ever does get an army together, it would be filled with liberals and controlled by liberals...so if America were to start fighting a Civil War the European army would almost certainly side with America's liberal/Left.

Europe is no longer merely talking about war--it's preparing for it. What was once dismissed as alarmism is now becoming official policy, with European nations moving from financial support to full-scale military buildup. 

Conscription, once seen as a relic of the past, is rapidly reentering the conversation. The EU's military strategy is shifting, and European leaders are openly warning citizens that military service may soon become mandatory. The question is no longer if war is coming, but when.

The Return of Conscription: Europe's Desperate Measure

The push for conscription is gaining traction across Europe, as countries like Germany, Latvia, Croatia, and Sweden already take steps to reintroduce the draft. Germany's new conservative government is at the forefront, with Friedrich Merz of the CDU/CSU calling for compulsory military service as early as 2025. 

For many European nations, conscription is no longer about strengthening defense--it's about preparing for war. While national service may be framed as a necessity to bolster military readiness, the reality is clear: these nations are bracing for conflict, and the war they fear is increasingly seen as inevitable.

This shift reflects a deeper realization: Europe can no longer rely on the United States for security. The Trump administration's recent decision to pause military aid to Ukraine sent shockwaves through European capitals. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's statements further confirmed that Washington is pivoting away from focusing on Europe, leaving EU countries to fend for themselves. As former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Sir Richard Shirreff warned, European nations may soon have no choice but to reintroduce conscription to meet the growing threat, particularly from Russia.

The EU's $840 Billion Military Expansion: Rearming for the Future

Conscription alone won't be enough to safeguard Europe's security. The European Commission has responded with a massive initiative to expand military capabilities across the continent. President Ursula von der Leyen recently unveiled the "Rearm Europe" program, a $840 billion military expansion aimed at ensuring the EU can field a modern, battle-ready force. This effort highlights Europe's determination to prepare for an independent defense strategy, particularly as U.S. support becomes more uncertain.

This program, alongside growing military investments from individual nations, underscores a shift away from reliance on NATO, where the U.S. has historically played a dominant role. The EU is moving towards greater autonomy in defense matters, as many leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron advocate for a stronger, more unified European military force.

The EU Army: A Unified Force or a Bureaucratic Dream?

The growing military buildup is inevitably leading to discussions about a unified European army. While the idea of an EU army is not new, it is gaining serious momentum. Macron and von der Leyen have both voiced strong support for an independent European military force that can act without U.S. oversight. For Europe, this would represent a major shift in geopolitical power, allowing Brussels to determine its own foreign policy and military actions.

However, creating a unified EU military force raises serious logistical and political questions. Integrating diverse national forces with different languages, strategies, and political interests is a daunting task. Moreover, the risk of bureaucratic inefficiencies could delay or even derail the creation of such an army. Despite these challenges, the idea of a self-sufficient European military force remains a key goal for EU leaders, particularly as reliance on NATO and the U.S. fades.

The Social and Economic Implications of Conscription

The return of compulsory military service has profound social and economic consequences. While governments may frame conscription as a necessary step for national security, the reality is far more complex. Economically, conscription could disrupt industries by pulling young workers into military service, exacerbating labor shortages. 

Socially, the move could spark widespread protests, as the youth of Europe are far less willing to engage in a conflict they did not sign up for, particularly with the growing fear of escalation involving Russia.

Families may begin fleeing to avoid the draft, further straining nations already grappling with the fallout from a potential conflict. The imposition of conscription could lead to mass evasion, protests, and a deepening divide between those supporting the government's military expansion and those who oppose it.

Here;  Europe's Plan For Conscription - First Steps To EU Military Buildup

If Europe is filled with soy-boys and liberals who have never held a gun and actually HATE guns...can you imagine the protests if they start mandatory military service?  And since women have now insisted that all women are 100% equal to men in everything....all the women of Europe would also have to go to boot camp and learn how to run, climb walls, do pushups and shoot guns and drive tanks!  Shoot they might one day even have a 100% female infantry battalion they could proudly send into battle against the Russians!  It would really be something to watch those brave women going toe to toe with those awful Russian soldiers...who are 100% male. 😏   I can just imagine them driving their tanks and tracked vehicles into the front lines of battle while chanting, "Girl power!  Girl power!" as they go!

UK Heading for Civil War

 The United States is divided for sure.  And when you read social media posts made by your cousin comparing Trump with Hitler and anyone who voted for him “doesn’t deserve to exist”, you now understand HOW a Civil War can happen.  I remember 30 years ago touring Antietam National Civil War Battlefield and saying, “how could this have happened where cousins from neighboring towns shot at each other?”  I now know the answer.

But it’s not just America that’s divided.  The UK is also a mess.  Muslims have been allowed in and are pushing for more and more shariah “rights.”  The Left wants tolerance, diversity, equity and inclusion for the very folks who want to take over.  There is a certain element that wants to destroy everything that is British.  Tradition, language, history, common sense are all being torn down.

Thankfully we have Trump to push back and try to return USA to a time of common sense.  But that could all be erased in 4 years if the Left returns to power and issues 80 executive orders in 2 months.  The UK doesn’t have Trump so they seem to driving quickly towards a cliff.

It’s a fact that the words CIVIL WAR have returned to chatter in America and UK, so file this under WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.

*************************

Betz said that the situation is now “too far gone” and that a national eruption which will outstrip last summer’s riots is likely to happen within half a decade.

Writing on his Substack, Paul Embery outlined some of the other arguments Betz made during the podcast that led the professor to make his fateful prediction.

Betz contends that we now live in a deeply fractured nation and one that has much less connection to those aspects of its history which previously made it content and well governed. The nefarious activities of certain individuals and groups serve to exacerbate and magnify our divisions.

So, can a society in which such realities are playing out be said to be destined for civil war? Well, here comes the interesting bit. Betz explains that highly-heterogenous societies (those comprised of many different social, cultural and ethnic groups) in which there is no single dominant cohort are not especially prone to civil war. That is because no group has enough power or status to co-ordinate a widespread revolt. Similarly, highly-homogenous, or ‘unfactionated’, societies are not particularly vulnerable on account of the fact that it is generally easy to arrive at consensus positions. The danger area, Betz asserts, is in the middle – societies that are becoming more heterogenous and in which a previously dominant social majority fears that it is losing its place. In such societies, a nativist sentiment manifests in a narrative of what Betz calls ‘downgrading’ and ‘displacement’ – the most powerful causes of civil conflict. Throw in long-term structural economic decline and the apparent inability of the government to offer ‘bread and circuses’, and the sense of dispossession deepens.

He also addressed the phenomenon of ‘asymmetric multiculturalism’ in which ‘in-group preference, ethnic pride, and group solidarity – notably in voting – are acceptable for all groups except whites, for whom such things are considered to represent supremacist attitudes that are anathematic to social order’. This ‘provides an argument for revolt on the part of the white majority (or large minority) that is rooted in stirring language of justice’.

On the surface, the United Kingdom would seem like the least likely country to be susceptible to mass civil disorder, but thanks to years of societal malaise and mass immigration, it unfortunately feels like we’re on the brink of experiencing just that.

Europe’s Descent into Darkness

 What do we really have in common with France, Germany, England, etc…?  They have allowed themselves to be invaded by Muslims.  They are lowering the boom on free speech and videos we have watched posted by folks on the sidewalks show police questioning people for looking like they are praying too close to abortion clinics or for posting a social media post that hurt someone’s feelings.  Most of their voters would be far left, woke liberals who want all guns confiscated and all cars removed that still burn gas.

For 80 years our military has defended them and allowed them to spend money on social programs instead of guns, tanks and missiles and we’ve gone $36 trillion in debt…spending money we don’t have.

How did Europe get to this point?

Short answer;  their churches are empty and a very small remnant remains of Holy Spirit filled followers of Christ who have biblical worldviews.  Maybe America really is alone?

**********************

It is kind of nervy for Europe to question our willingness to aid in their defense when we pay the lion's share of the cost while they continually antagonize other nuclear powers near and far and use the US as their 'big bad brother' that they assume will safeguard their numerous indiscretions and recklessness.

Vice President Vance asked a similar question in a speech not long ago. As it turns out, we can ask the same question in many parts of the world. The Middle East and North Africa are the least free, but it is downright alarming to see Europe descending into a collection of totalitarian states.

Ukraine was a war that didn't have to happen. After the USSR dissolved, Russia asked to join NATO. We said NO! The West, instead, clearly assured Russia it would not expand NATO eastward; we did. Russia asked that the West cease building alliances along their borders; again, we did. 

The Ukraine War was never about freedom; it was about defense contractors, preserving a money laundromat for oligarchs, Ukraine's leaders buying mansions in other countries with the money we gave them, a place to experiment on bio-weapons when you can't do it at home, and another war to please the globalist fanatics that believe the planet is over-populated. It was not just Europe in the wrong; it was also about Obama, Hillary, and Biden taking their turns, poking the bear...Russia, Russia, Russia.

What’s Trump Doing With All This Talk About Tariffs?

 If you watched Trump last night, there is no doubt that he is stirring the pot and shaking things up!  Clearly, the Democrats in attendance were so sour they wouldn’t have clapped for anything Trump said…and Trump looked them in the eye and told them that!

But what’s all his talk about tariffs?  What might he be planning?  Are they going to upset all our “friends” in other nations?  Could they lead to a shooting war?  Won’t they make everything on the shelves at Walmart (made in China) more expensive and exacerbate inflation?

Notice that Trump said “things could get a little worse at first but it won’t last long.”  

Investment is pouring into America with massive Honda car plant, massive ship building yard, $100 billion data centers, etc…  If Honda realizes that America is going to put a tariff of $5000 on every car coming into America that’s made in Japan, they might decide that it’s better to build their cars in Indiana.  That way they can compete better with Chevy and Ford that are made in America.  Chevy might decide to close its Canadian plant and bring all manufacturing back to Kentucky to avoid the $5000 tariff on every car they used to make in Canada.

But Canada and China will instantly slap tariffs on American goods made in America and heading to their countries.  So in the end, maybe it’s not good for anyone so why do it?

This is just a wild guess, but what if Trump is planning on doing away with Federal Income taxes in exchange for tariffs?  As you will read below, up until the 1930’s, there was no income tax and money was raised for Federal programs by tariffs.

*************************

A tariff is a tax imposed on foreign-made goods, paid by the importing business to its home country’s government. The most common kind of tariffs are ad valorem, which are levied as a fixed percentage of the value of the imports. There are also “specific tariffs,” which are charged as a fixed amount on each imported good (for example, $2 per shirt) and “tariff-rate quotas,” which are tariffs that kick in or rise significantly after a certain amount of imports is reached (e.g., fifty thousand tons of sugar).

Tariffs can serve several goals. Like all taxes, they provide a modest source of government revenue. Several countries have also used tariffs to help fledgling industries at home, hoping to shelter local firms from foreign competitors. Some tariffs are also meant to address unfair practices that other countries have used to make their exports artificially cheap.

Who uses tariffs?

Almost every country imposes some tariffs. In general, wealthy countries maintain low tariffs compared to developing countries. There are several reasons why: developing countries might have more fragile industries that they wish to protect, or they might have fewer sources of government revenue. The United States, for instance, maintained high tariffs for decades, until income taxes supplanted tariffs as the most important source of revenue in the 1930s. After World War II, tariffs continued to decline as the United States emphasized trade expansion as a central plank of its global strategy.

Record Number of Americans Now Think America is on the Right Track

 For many Americans, the Trump election was nothing short of a miracle.  For the other half, the Trump election is a nightmare.

That being said, a major poll taker asked Americans the question, "Is America on the right track?"  To their amazement, for the first time EVER the number went up.

For the first time ever, Rasmussen Reports released polling that revealed a positive increase in Americans who believe the country is on the "right track." Roughly 47% feel this way -- the highest it's been in about two decades -- leaving researchers at a loss for words. The question is this, "Washington Watch" guest host Jody Hice posed on Friday's "Washington Watch," "Is there a specific reason for the change?" If so, what could it be?

In September, 2024, only 28% of surveyed Americans felt the country was on the "right track." Last year was also the first time since 2022 the number of pessimistic Americans fell below 70%. Even then, a solid 65% still believed America was on the "wrong track." Concerning the most recent findings, Rasmussen's chief pollster Mark Mitchell, who also joined Friday's show, explained that a lot of what this data highlights is "an incredible environment out there for public opinion."

"I never predicted anything like this would happen," he said. As Mitchell went on to explain that the tide is turning in "this red team, blue team dichotomy," politically speaking. "Right now," he explained, "it looks like ... an existential crisis for D.C.," especially for the "unelected powers that have been doing what they want. ... They've lost the ability to control ... and Americans are the happiest they've ever been."

As for the "right" or "wrong track" discussion, Hice asked, "Is this purely political? Is it economic? What do we mean when we're saying, 'Is America on the right track?'" According to Mitchell, it's simply an "additional measurement of happiness." He pointed out that the question is intentionally straightforward, "and the reason it's so powerful is just because everybody asks it" -- most Americans care about the state of their country to some extent. "We have so much history," he added, "and the fact that the positive results have never been above 50% in all of our polling history is kind of sad, because you'd want, in a representative democracy, to try and maximize that number."

With positive feelings at an all-time high, Mitchell continued to explain that Americans don't seem to understand the scope of this change. Ultimately, "this could be a fundamental reformation of all kind of politics." In fact, these eye-catching statistics come after President Donald Trump "received his highest approval rating ever, with 53% of respondents approving of his work to this point." In addition to this, "70% of participants -- regardless of whether they support Trump -- agree that the president is doing what he promised to do."

And as Mitchell pointed out, this also comes as many mainstream "news outlets ... gaslit too much ... pushed it too far and ... completely lost their power." President Trump, he stated, has "carte blanche in a way I don't think any politician in my lifetime has."

Funny video From Awaken With JP

 Not sure how many folks have seen this conservative guy, named JP, who makes comedy videos for YouTube.  But if you haven't seen his material, it's pretty clever.

In this latest sketch, his wife fell during Biden's 2020 election party and she went into a coma for 4 years.  She wakes up and her husband is there and she starts asking all the questions about COVID, is Trump in jail, is Biden still the president?  Of course she is dumb founded to find out that Trump is back in the White House and doing all the things that she can't even imagine.

If you want a laugh for today, watch the video here;  Liberal Wakes Up From a Coma in 2025

Illegal Border Crossings Plummet to 25 Year Low

 I’m going to guess that CBS News really had to swallow hard to write this headline.  Trump made lots of promises during the campaign and Democrats laughed at him.  He’s been in office just over a month and they’re still crying.  But most Americans wanted illegals to stop coming and it’s already happened!

*************

The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in President Trump's first full month in office plunged to a level not seen in at least 25 years, according to preliminary government data obtained by CBS News.

Last month, Border Patrol recorded about 8,450 apprehensions of migrants who crossed into the country unlawfully between official entry points along the U.S.-Mexico border, the statistics show.

On some days during a record spike in illegal crossings under the Biden administration, Border Patrol recorded more than 8,000 apprehensions in a single day.

February's total, which could be adjusted when the government officially publishes the statistics, would be the lowest monthly apprehensions tally recorded by Border Patrol since at least fiscal year 2000, the last period with public monthly data. The final tallies usually don't deviate much from the preliminary figures.

I Did the Math For Your Friends and Family Who Want Ukraine to Keep Fighting

 It's funny how the very people (Leftists) who typically scream out "No war!", are suddenly on the side of "More war!", when it comes to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

The Left wants to sell you the belief that Ukraine was simply minding their own business, living in peace, freedom and democracy, when Putin showed up one day and invaded them.

In reality it's much more complicated and has a lot to do with broken promises, conflicting world views, egos, power, misunderstandings and, of course, human sin in a fallen world.

But for our Leftist family and friends, I have a few ideas we could suggest to them all.

First off, super simple idea is to tell them there is a GO FUND ME page for Ukraine and if 50 million Democrats each contribute $2000 for this VERY IMPORTANT CAUSE, they would raise $100 billion for Ukraine and could send it to them to buy more weapons and missiles and hopefully keep the meat grinder going for another year.  That seems to be a tiny sum for those folks who believe that the world's freedom hangs in the balance based on what happens in Ukraine.  Ask your liberal friend how much THEY put into the GO FUND ME.

Second, remind all of them that Ukraine announced in 2024 that they would accept all Americans into their National Guard to fight alongside their Ukrainian soldiers.  If they claim to be too old then remind them that their grandkids in college who marched in the FREE PALESTINE parade and just posted a "I STAND WITH UKRAINE!" flag on their social media,  should be asked to go.  Remind them that the freedom of the world hangs in the balance and Ukraine needs money and manpower if we are going to keep it that way.  Also mention that women from America don't seem to be excluded so would be a great time for the "Woman Power!" feminists to stand up and show they can do anything a man can do!

Here;  Americans Can Now Join Ukraine's National Guard, Zelensky Says - Newsweek

Liberals are notorious hypocrites, so these things will NEVER happen but it might serve to silence them for a day or two...which might make you feel better at your next family get together. 😉

Europe Comes Together to Embrace Zelenskyy

 A few things to remember as Trump tries to end the war in Ukraine;

Liberals in America are going to bawl about how Trump is hurting “our friendship with Europe”.  That may be but Europe is literally filled with godless, Liberals who would vote Democrat if they lived here.  So how much should we really care about the liberal tears they are shedding?

CNN says in this article, that Russia’s attack on Ukraine was “unprovoked”.  You need to dig into that to decide if it’s true.  Ukraine may not have directly provoked the Russian bear but the West did when it tried to expand NATO even after promising Gorbachev that “not one inch to the East of NATO expansion.”

If you read this article, it sounds like Europe is realizing they have to get serious about coming up with their own plan for Ukraine, and quite possibly that’s exactly what Trump wanted from the very beginning.  So Trump wins again.

Clearly Trump doesn’t personally like Zelenskyy.  I think he’s mad at the dude for showing up In Pennsylvania 50 days before the election and giving the nod to Kamala in a tight swing state.

I’ve also read enough and seen enough coming from Ukraine that I believe that there is something foul happening there.  Foul like selling US weapons to other players, getting rid of any political opponents, and reports of special forces wearing swastikas and treating their own citizens like criminals if they hold a different view than Zelenskyy.  So maybe he is a dictator?

Keep praying for Trump and Vance.  If they truly are going to drain the swamp and expose thousands of satanic secrets in the process, it’s going to continue being a HUGE spiritual war.

********************

US officials are piling heat on Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting he may need to relinquish power after his disastrous Oval Office meeting — even as Europe embraces the Ukrainian president more tightly than ever.

The contrast highlighted the most damaging split in the Western alliance at least since the Berlin Wall fell and bolstered a sense that the “free world” has been pushed to the brink of fracturing early in President Donald Trump’s new term.

Yet the sight of Europe stepping into the impasse left by Trump’s first bid to end the Ukraine war could also represent hope that good could come out of the debacle of Zelensky’s visit. That’s if the continent can, as it promised Sunday, construct a peace plan to hand to the US president.

Waltz’s comment underscores the US’ position that the war must end no matter what as Trump races toward a rapprochement with Russian President Vladimir Putin after falsely blaming Zelensky for the unprovoked invasion.

Moscow on Monday sought to capitalize on Trump’s overtures to Putin and the administration’s assault on Zelensky while trying to widen differences between Europe and the United States.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov suggested that “someone must force Zelensky to change his position,” adding “someone must make Zelensky want peace.” He was, of course, referring to a leader whose nation has been under unprovoked attack for three years in an invasion that has killed thousands of civilians, and it was striking to hear the same message coming from Putin’s mouthpiece and top Trump administration foreign policy officials.

Peskov also tried to discredit European peace initiatives unveiled at a summit Sunday, which are likely to be more favorable to Kyiv than Trump’s approach.

“There were also statements about the need to urgently provide increased levels of funding for Ukraine. This is clearly not for a peace plan, but for the continuation of military operations,” Peskov said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer led the gathering of Western leaders in London that welcomed Zelensky as a guest of honor. In a highly symbolic move, King Charles III granted Zelensky an hourlong audience, days after inviting Trump to a second state visit. Starmer promised a “coalition of the willing” to arm and defend Ukraine and warned again that any durable peace would need US security guarantees Trump has not yet offered.

And France and Britain also proposed a monthlong limited truce in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron told the newspaper Le Figaro on Sunday. Zelensky said he was aware of the proposal but did not say whether he agreed with it.

The aggressive European leadership effort came as Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said Ukraine’s allies needed to turn the country into a “steel porcupine that is indigestible for potential invaders.”

If Wokeness is Your god, You’re Probably Really Upset

 This article really helps explain why your Leftist friends and family are soooo upset!  Their god of wokeness has been pulled down and they have no hope, no peace and no joy.  

******************

As a Christian who starts with God’s Word, it’s been exciting the last few weeks to watch woke idols—such as preferred pronouns, transgender ideology, and racist DEI hiring practices—fall swiftly as the new administration in the US and many previously very woke corporations distance themselves from these things or outright reject them. But if wokeness is your god, well, the recent happenings are nothing short of devastating.

A recent article quotes a former fundraiser for the Democratic National Convention, Lindy Li (who has since left the party, and while Li’s credibility is suspect, what she’s saying does seem to match the public reaction of many in the DNC), as saying that her former political party is “in complete shambles,” is “completely rudderless,” and is in a “wilderness” that she’s not sure how they’ll get out of after their loss to President Trump. Apparently, all of their donors are “so angry and upset with the state of the party.”

But why, despite the outcome of the election and the outrage of their supporters, is the party doubling down on their woke agenda? Well, they trusted in a false god. According to Li, “It’s their religion . . . woke is their god.”

So what happens when your god “dies” in the culture? Well, you’re left without hope, peace, or joy because that god is a terrible god—wokeness is a monster that’s never satisfied, you always have to do more, do “better,” or you’ve failed the woke monster—you’ve failed your god.

Contrast that god with the one true God, the Creator. Our God is not at the mercy of the opinions of the American people, many of whom loved the woke god for a while but turned away from it when it became too radical. Our God is sovereign over the opinions of man—in fact, he’s the one who appoints or removes leaders from their positions! Our God lives forever and, unlike the god of wokeism, is perfectly righteous, just, impartial, loving, kind, gracious, and merciful. He’s not capricious and demanding—he’s kind and gentle.

The woke god isn’t worthy of devotion or worship any more than any other false god or idol. Only the one true God, who loved us so much he gave his very life to save sinners like you and me, is worthy of our love and devotion.

So my message to Democrats left flustered, angry, or outraged by the current political scene is this: Turn away from your woke god and turn to the living God who alone can satisfy and give you hope, peace, and joy for now and forever.

Catholic Cardinal Tells Catholics to Pray and Fast With Muslims for Ramadan

 Seriously, the Catholics are setting themselves up as the One-World-Religion spoken of in Revelation.  They are now likening themselves to Muslims and have also announced they will baptize aliens from other parts of the universe “when they show up.”  And the coming new Pope would be the False Prophet.

*************************

The Catholic archbishop of New York has announced the beginning of Ramadan, likening it to Ash Wednesday.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan made the announcement to Catholic viewers over X (formerly Twitter) today on Friday, February 28, asking his audience if they realized that Ramadan, the Islamic “season of penance,” begins “tomorrow.”

The cardinal praised Muslims for taking their observances “seriously” and added that Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is “kind of our Catholic Ramadan.”

Holding what appeared to be a pastry or biscuit, the cardinal told the viewers an anecdote about a Muslim cab driver who would not accept his offer of water because it was Ramadan and he “couldn’t take water until sunset.”

“That’s how seriously they take their fasting and prayer. Now, I tell you that to shame you because Ash Wednesday’s coming up, alright? Ash Wednesday is coming Wednesday, and that’s kind of our Catholic Ramadan, so let’s unite with our Islamic brothers and sisters in prayer and fasting.”

This is not the first time Cardinal Dolan has intertwined Christian and Islamic calendars while speaking on X. In March 2024, the archbishop of New York said, “Spring is the time of the triumph of light and life, OK, and that of course is what Good Friday and Easter Sunday is about. That’s what Passover is about. That’s what Ramadan is about.”

He added that they were about “the renewal of God’s life within us that we actually share in God’s constantly reinvigorating power in the world as we see in nature during spring. So Ramadan, Passover, Holy Week in Easter, it’s all sort of a supernatural springtime.”
