Trump Freezes Tariffs for 90 Days But Increases China's to 125%

 The folks who hate Trump were having a hay-day with the stock market going down.  All sorts of liberals out there screaming, "See!  He's a Nazi and a fascist and now he's intentionally going to destroy the financial world so he can take over as the dictator of America!"

But then, yesterday, Trump paused some tariffs and the DOW shot back up 3000 points.  But nothing Trump will ever do or say will satisfy the folks on the left.  They are still very bitter about Demented Joe being forced out by his own party and then running Can't Win Kamala and getting trashed at the polls.  All they can say now is, "Americans are misogynists' and refuse to vote for a woman!!"  Of course that's not true.  Americans refused to vote for a person who couldn't put together two sentences in a row without sounding like an absolute idiot.

Now the folks on the Left are pointing out how 'prices are going to rise on everything...and it's Trump's fault for penalizing China!"  But how bizarre that the Left isn't happy that China is going to be stood up to!  They have been lying, cheating, stealing US patents, silencing opponents, forbidding Christian missionaries, threatening our allies in Taiwan and building up a huge army in preparation to stand against America.  WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD USA WANT TO KEEP BUYING ALL THEIR CRAP??

Wouldn't it seem a lot smarter to start making stuff back in America and NOT keep sending a trillion dollars per year to our enemy?  There isn't anything that the rest of the world has that we can't produce in America.  So maybe you will have to pay more for all the products in Walmart coming from China?  So don't buy them or if you do, realize that you are sending money to a country that would like to take America out one day.

President Trump froze all retaliatory tariffs for three months on countries willing to negotiate with the United States and address any slights perceived by the president.

Call Them Nazis and Fascists

 The folks on the Left who are vandalizing Teslas and chanting slogans in the streets are just following an old communist playbook.  “Use the words NAZI and FASCIST and direct it at your enemies.  Keep saying it over and over.  After a while your own brain will start to believe the chants”.  

And soon the folks on the Left can quit feeling like losers who lost an election in a really big way…and feel more like freedom fighters who are trying to point out the evils of those with whom they disagree.

8 Signs That Iran is About to be Bombed

 Wars and rumors of war.

I saw a post from Tucker Carlson yesterday and he is very scared about America bombing Iran.  He thinks it's an awful time to start another war in the Middle East and says that thousands of Americans will die in retaliatory attacks from Iran.  But Tucker also doesn't understand that Israel is the apple of God's eye and that America and Israel have a special relationship that goes back to 1948.

Iran's leaders have chanted, "Death to America!  Death to Israel!" every day since 1979 when the Muslim extremists took over and held Americans hostage for a few years.  The idea of them getting a nuke is unacceptable and they seem to be getting very close to being able to make one.  Obama gave them a HUGE gift with the deal he made with them but now Trump is playing hardball.  And one thing I think we have all realized about Trump is that when he says something, he does it.  And he told Iran's leaders, "Negotiate with us about nukes, OR ELSE."

If bombs start falling on Iran's nuclear facilities, it would instantly be the biggest news story of 2025 so far.  Iranian air defenses would need to be neutralized first, and that would be quite an extensive operation all by itself.  Subsequently, destroying Iran's nuclear facilities would be extraordinarily difficult, because many of them are very deep underground.  

We have heard a lot about our "bunker buster" bombs, but there is a lot of debate about whether those bombs can actually destroy facilities that are buried that deep.  Of course the moment the Iranians start getting bombed, they will strike back by hitting Israeli cities and U.S. bases all over the Middle East.  

At that point we would be at war with the Iranians, and there would be no turning back.  The following are 8 signs that the bombing of Iran could be coming very soon...

#1 A second U.S. aircraft carrier is being moved within striking distance of Iran...

New satellite imagery shows the USS Carl Vinson entering the Indian Ocean via the Malacca Straits, marking a significant step in the U.S. military's increased presence in the region.

This move comes as tensions with Iran and the Houthis in Yemen escalate, signaling the potential for a more aggressive U.S. stance in the coming days and weeks.

#2 It is being reported that 6 B-2 bombers have been deployed to the base on Diego Garcia.  This represents 30 percent of our entire fleet of B-2 bombers...

In the largest single deployment of stealth bombers in U.S. history, the Pentagon has sent six B-2 "Spirit" aircraft to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

The long-range bombers, which are uniquely suited to evade Iranian air defenses and can carry America's most potent bunker busting weapons, flew in from Missouri last week in a little noticed operation.

#3 The B-2 bombers that have been deployed to Diego Garcia are being left out in the open so that the Iranians can see them...

"All the bombers, they're not in hangers, they're underneath satellites where they can be photographed and seen; and the idea is, do you see our sword?" retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, who served as Deputy U.S. Military Representative to NATO, said in an interview with Newsmax last week. Holt also said that the B-2 deployment "gives the president a military option that he can actually use these weapons against Iran if needed."

#4 Negotiations with Iran are scheduled to begin this weekend.  The New York Times is reporting that the Iranians are expected to reject President Trump's demands...

But Mr. Trump's public demands -- that Iran stop nuclear enrichment, hand over its large supply of enriched uranium and destroy its existing nuclear facilities -- will almost surely be rejected by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, as an unacceptable humiliation and surrender. How far both sides are willing to compromise is unclear, but Mr. Trump is well known for making ultimate demands at the start and then searching for a deal.

Here;  8 Signs That The Bombing Of Iran Could Be Coming Very Soon

Please remember that God is NEVER shaking, fretting, anxious or wringing His hands as he watches events play out on planet earth.  WE might not know the outcome of all these headlines in the short term...but we do know how the Bible says all things are going to end...and WE WIN!!

So as followers of Christ, we don't panic about tariffs, demonstrations against Trump, wars with Iran, wars with Russia, the pending collapse of Europe.  The world is not falling apart but it is all falling into place.

But for the godless among us, they are quite literally losing their minds.

Iran-Backed Terror Groups in Iraq Scared of Trump

 The Americans who hate Trump probably don't like seeing headlines like these...even though it should be a headline that every American should enjoy.

Iran-backed terror groups in Iraq prepare to lay down their arms following Trump’s threats

Iran-backed terror militias in Iraq are proactively disarming following US President Donald Trump’s threats against other terror proxies, such as the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, according to a senior official in Baghdad.

Senior commanders and Iraqi government officials are urging the groups to demilitarize to avoid direct conflict with the US.

“Trump is ready to take the war with us to worse levels; we know that, and we want to avoid such a bad scenario,” a commander of Kataeb Hezbollah, the leading Shiite militia in Iraq, told Reuters.

Along with Kataeb Hezbollah, heads of the al-Nujaba, Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada and Ansar Allah al-Awfiya groups have met to discuss demilitarization efforts.

Izzat al-Shahbandar, a senior Shiite Muslim politician, confirmed that Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has met with the terror organizations and thattalks of disarming are “very advanced.” “The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting on continuing in their current form,” he said, adding that the groups are “fully aware” they could be targets of the US military.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) acknowledges the terror groups’ intention to demilitarize as a step to avoid provoking the US.

Sudani is ordering 50,000 terrorist members of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to disarm and give over their arsenals, including long-range missiles and anti-aircraft weapons.

The US State Department applauded the development and urged Baghdad to keep Iran’s influence out of their country. These terror groups “must respond to Iraq’s commander-in-chief and not to Iran,” it said in a statement.

Muslim leaders seem to ONLY recognize force.  They have a saying in Islam about "backing the strong horse".  Clearly, they didn't fear Obama or Biden but I'm guessing their turbans are shaking a little bit as they see the US military gathering and they reflect on Trump's and Israel's statements about "negotiate with us or be destroyed...that's your choice."

Thank you Jesus for NOT putting Kamala on the throne of America.

The Mahdi is the Antichrist

 Last night I had the opportunity to speak to some folks at church about the book of Daniel.  During the class I told them about the Shiite Muslim belief in the 12th Imam, also called the Mahdi, who they believe will come in the last days.  I mentioned that the Iranian leaders believe in his soon return.  They also believe that he will return only when the world is in a complete state of chaos.  This would be a good reason NOT to let them get a nuclear bomb.

Tonight I was on YouTube looking for the pronunciation of “Eloi!  Eloi!  Lema Sabacthani!”, which means, “My God!  My God!  Why have you forsaken me?”  As I was searching, this video came up from Pastor John MacArthur titled “The Mahdi is the Antichrist”.

Watch it and tell me what you think.  Remember, Christians will be gone in the rapture before the Antichrist is revealed so we won’t ever know who he is this side of eternity.  But the Mahdi, whoever plays him, certainly has all the attributes.

USA Delivers Missile Defense System to Israel Before Strike on Iran

 Trump might be bluffing as he orders all the ships and planes to a base much closer to Iran...but I doubt it.

Rumor has it that Trump sent the letter to Iranian leaders and said, "negotiate with me over your nuclear program.  If you don't we are going to bomb you...like with huuuge bombs!"

Of course if Iran does get bombed they will have no choice but to retaliate and they may lash out at Israel.  In preparation of this, USA has given another missile defense shield to Israel.

The U.S. has delivered advanced missile systems to Israel amid a wave of ballistic missile attacks by Houthi terrorists and escalating tensions with Iran, fueling growing fears of a looming military confrontation with Iran.

The United States has bolstered Israel’s defenses with the recent deployment of advanced missile systems, including an additional Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and two Patriot batteries, according to Israeli security sources and various media sources.

According to a report by Saudi News Channel Al-Hadath, the U.S. has recently sent a THAAD battery and two Patriot systems to Israel, possibly marking the second THAAD deployment in the country.

The Lockheed Martin THAAD system defends against short—to long-range ballistic missiles with a 100% test interception rate. It includes launchers, radar, command units, and support gear.

On Friday, several Asian media outlets reported that U.S. Patriot missile batteries are being redeployed from South Korea to the Middle East.

Washington and Seoul have reportedly agreed to a “monthslong” partial deployment of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 system, marking the first known transfer of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) assets to the Middle East.

The U.S.-developed Patriot air defense system, operational since 1984, was designed to counter aircraft and ballistic missiles. It gained global attention during the 1991 Gulf War, though its effectiveness was later questioned. Since then, it has been upgraded significantly and is used by many nations worldwide.

U.S. CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla recently met with IDF Chief Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir in Israel, reportedly coordinating potential action against Iran and preparing for possible retaliation from Tehran and its proxies in the Middle East.

President Donald Trump announced last Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the U.S. this week. The visit comes amid ongoing fighting in Gaza, unresolved hostage situations, and rising tensions with Iran, as Washington considers possible military action—potentially with Israeli support—over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

How Many Crazies Does the Left Have?

 This article came today right at the same time my daily Bible reading has me in the book of Judges.  The phrase, “Every man did as he saw fit.”  That’s what happens to humans when we suddenly decide that morals are just made up constructs of society.  Being “good” can mean anything you want it to mean.  If I’m a 25 yr old pregnant woman who chooses to kill her baby, she makes herself feel “good” about her decision because she is saving the world from one more mouth to feed and helping to save the planet.  If you are a woman doing porn out of your bedroom and making $1 million per year, you are a “good” person because you gave $1000 to the homeless shelter nearby.  

But folks on the Left have rejected the Jesus of the Bible.  Their behavior is looking more and more insane and detached.  It’s almost like God is giving them over to reprobate thinking.  Read Romans 1 again.

********/******

When you have no conscience, self-control, or standard other than “every man does that which is right in his own eyes,” there is no final, absolute moral stopping place.  And as populations grow and atheism and amorality are taught widely and constantly, more and more insanity, perversion, and freaks will arise. Hence, we have the Left, the Democratic Party in America.

Even with all the babies they are murdering in America, the Left seems to be multiplying like rabbits. The greatest mistake the country made in its history was to divorce itself from divine guidance, push a “live and let live” philosophy with no moral standard other than individual personal judgment.  Some people, even on the Left, can control themselves, at least to a limited degree. Too many people, however, with no self-control, with no guidance, and with no good counsel to direct them down proper paths, go completely off the deep end into utter stupidity, decadence, and moral putrefaction.  It’s really becoming frightening, for people who have no conscience, whose only “god” is one they create, are liable to do anything. It’s Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong—if a person makes up his/her own god, and gains power with no one to impede them, then—well, we get Hiter, Stalin, Mao.  Abortion.  Child mutilation.  Drag queens.  Transgenderism.  Pedophilia and child sex slavery.  And…what’s next?

Where does it end?  It has no final stopping point because the Left has thrown all moral absolutes totally out the window—except the ones THEY establish, and those aren’t absolute, either, because they will change with the wind.  Joe Biden once argued that marriage was only between men and women. But that “absolute” didn’t last very long, did it? If you based your philosophy on ever-changing Darwinian, evolutionary morality, then, by definition, there CAN’T be any moral absolutes. An evolutionary worldview is the very antithesis of moral absolutism, and it is the very foundation of modern Leftism. The Left will never cease pushing the moral boundaries because there is no defined place TO stop.

And so, the freaks and insanity continue to grow in America, and it gets wilder and wilder.  A few examples:

--Tim Walz’s daughter recently posted on “X” that people who don’t support putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms are “f***ing weird.”  One can’t be surprised that this comes from a child of Tim Walz, but it’s an example of just how mindless and morally perverse the Left is.  And, of course, many, many Leftists agree with her, probably the entire Democratic Party leadership; at least, they won’t come out against it.  We’re “weird” for thinking that boys can’t have a “time of the month.”  Thousands of years of history, science, culture, tradition, God, and common sense are “weird” to this brain-empty, foul-mouthed degenerate.  But, never forget:  if we live in an ever-evolving moral universe where there is no God or absolute standards, then…why isn’t she right?  Why haven’t “moral standards” evolved to where boys need tampons?  No God, no standards, no truth…why is she wrong?  Folks, the battle we are fighting is for the very definition and purpose of the universe and existence, not just for a few policies on Capitol Hill.  It goes much, much deeper than that.

--I’ve got a clown liberal who has been pestering me literally for years.  I don’t know how he found me, but he started out sending me emails a few years ago.  I kindly asked him to stop, and he doesn’t send me emails any more, but he reads and stacks some of my substack articles with appropriate ad hominem attack and empty-brained, totally ignorant comments.  His most recent response to an article of mine was to say that Volodymyr Zelensky was a “great hero.”  Did you get that?  Zelensky is a “great hero.”  I’m not even going to comment on that.  You don’t need my help on that one.

50 Countries Ready to Negotiate With Trump

 Donald Trump could lay golden eggs and the Left would still hate him.  But what’s up with these tariffs and why is the Left melting down?  Watch the video below so you’re ready with some ammo at your next dinner party where a liberal starts his “Trump is a dictator!” speech.  The world needs USA to buy its stuff.  They need our market more than we need any of theirs.  Trump would like to eventually do away with any income tax for those taxpayers making less than $150 k per year.  Do you think the middle class will love him if he can pull that off by replacing the lost tax money with tariffs?

Why is Everyone in a Rage These Days?

 Protests against Trump have started in many major cities.  The godless are raging about vandalizing Teslas, rampaging through malls and now they are gathering with their stupid signs and idiotic chants, “yo! Yo! Musk gotta go!”  Of course they are mad because they lost the election and Trump is taking a wrecking ball to many of the things they hold dear.  As I was watching a protest gather on TV a Bible passage popped into my head.  I know it has many applications but as I think of the godless and their hatred for God, their love of sin and their super-charged distaste for Jesus, the Anointed One, it made me think of today.

23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:

“‘Why do the nations rage
    and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
against the Lord
    and against his anointed one.
