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.

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.

Imminent Prophecy Against Iran Shaping Up?

USA and Israel seem to be prepping for an attack on Iran.  As you can read below there is an interesting prophecy in Jeremiah 49 that appears to not have been fulfilled yet but quite possibly could be shaping up right before our eyes!  Even so, come Lord Jesus!

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

At the outset of this week’s commentary, I want to give much attribution to my good friend Bill Salus. He has done tremendous work on bringing information to the forefront of understanding likely prophetic developments in the general geographical region surrounding Israel.

In particular, his research and writing about the movement toward prophetic fulfillment of Iran’s destiny with regard to that regime’s hatred for Israel is obviously, I think, Holy Spirit-directed. I recommend his great books about prophecy involving Israel in these last days.

I have relied heavily in writing this article on material from Bill’s book The Now Prophecies. His treatment, especially in the matter of the foretelling of Iran (ancient Persia) and its coming against God’s chosen people, Israel, is to me almost prescient in its discernment of where we stand exactly at this late hour of the end of the age.

At this moment, there is, according to those who observe likely imminent military action of a major sort, a building force whose intent is to fulfill Israel’s Prime Minister’s and America’s President’s collective pledge. Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald J. Trump have vowed that Iran’s terrorist-spawning regime, which has nuclear development facilities deeply within a mountainous area — will never have an atomic weapon. The following news item explains the nature and extent of these leaders preparing to fulfill that pledge.

(Worthy News) – The U.S. has extended the USS Harry S. Truman’s Red Sea deployment, dispatched another carrier to the Middle East, and deployed five B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia—signaling that military strikes on Iran may be imminent as President Trump’s ultimatum to Iran’s Supreme Leader over its nuclear program looms.

While media attention has centered on “Signal Gate”—where leftist Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to a Trump administration group chat on the current actions of the U.S. military against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen—the U.S. military has been quietly ramping up its regional buildup.

The joint UK-U.S. base at Diego Garcia—key in past campaigns like Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003)—is once again seeing a buildup, signaling possible preparations for airstrikes in the Middle East.

At least five B-2 stealth bombers have arrived at Diego Garcia, joining four already stationed there, with more reportedly en route.

Satellite imagery shared on social media revealed three C-17 cargo planes and 11 KC-135 refueling tankers were also deployed to Diego Garcia within the past 48 hours, underscoring the base’s strategic role as a U.S. staging ground for a potential strike against Iran and supporting the current Trump administration’s actions against the Houthis…

The increased military presence in the Middle East serves as an active warning to Iran, whose Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei received a two-month ultimatum from Donald Trump last week.

Also taking place this week, senior U.S. and Israeli officials are holding high-level talks concerning Iran’s nuclear program in Washington.

For literally years, the reports have been that Iran is on the very brink of having a working nuclear weapon. This within a radical Islamic regime that has declared they will destroy completely both the great Satan and the little Satan –meaning America and Israel. So it has been, to many –including me—the question: why, if Iran was so close to developing such lethality, has not action been taken to make sure atomic weaponry never is held in the hands of the satanically insane Ayatollahs?

This action by this president –moving such massively lethal assets into that region at this time looks to be indeed the quickly approaching moment of truth. This president means business as has no president since Ronald Reagan, in my view. This time, I think Iran –that ancient area of Persia—is near the moment of having usable atomic weaponry. This will not be allowed to stand. Neither by Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump –nor, if this is the time of fulfillment, more importantly, by the God of Heaven, who gave Jeremiah the prophet this to prophesy:

“The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, The foremost of their might. Against Elam I will bring the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all those winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them. I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD. ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the LORD” (Jeremiah 49:34-39, NKJV).

My friend Bill Salus, in his excellent book of several years ago, The Now Prophecies, wrote the following:

Summarizing the Elam prophecy

In this prophecy, Jeremiah declares that a time would arrive when the Lord would be furious with the leadership of Iran. We know this because Jeremiah 49:38 says that the kings and the princes will be destroyed. This most likely represents the Iranian government in place when the prophecy occurs. The Lord would never destroy good kings and princes, so we can safely presume that bad Iranian leadership is the problem…

But why is the Lord fiercely angry with the government of Iran at the time of the prophecy? The reason is because Iran wants to launch something powerful somewhere. This is why the Lord will break the bow at the foremost of Iran’s might in order to prevent such a lethal launch.

But where does Iran want to launch something powerful? Apparently, it wasn’t Iraq because the Lord didn’t prevent scores of Iranian missiles from landing in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. Thus, it must be somewhere else, perhaps Israel. The prophecy doesn’t tell us specifically where, but it does tell us that Iran has enemies, plural, when the prophecy happens.

This qualifies Israel today because Iran has declared on numerous occasions that it wants to wipe Israel off of the map. Thus, it is safe to say that Israel and Iran are presently enemies. Should Iran get nuclear weapons, the destruction of Israel becomes a strong possibility. Even the attempted destruction of Israel is not something the Lord will tolerate! [Source: The Now Prophecies, by Bill Salus, Prophecy Depot Publishing, 2016, ISBN – 978-0-9887260-7-9]

(You can find all of Bill’s great books at http://www.prophecydepot.com)

With fulfillment of such earth-shattering Bible prophecy in view, and with all other end times signals bursting forth all around this generation, the most profound of all prophecies prior to the Second Advent of our Lord must be near fulfillment indeed!

The Rapture of all believers from this Judgment-bound planet is surely at the door.

Even so, Come, Lord Jesus!

Can America Be Saved From Itself

 Clearly, America deserves destruction.  We’ve killed more babies, consumed more illegal drugs and delivered more porn to the world than even be counted.  At the same time our churches are closing while the others that are still open are preaching a false gospel.  This once “God fearing” nation no longer believes that the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the God Jesus Christ, have anything to do with anything anymore. 

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

A recent study shows that over 60% of Americans no longer believe that God has any effect on their lives. Even more troubling, nearly half of self-identified Christians —and 40% of born-again Christians— believe the same thing.

George Barna, director of research at Arizona Christian University, didn’t mince words: “…nothing short of sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal can save America from itself.”

Why the spiritual void?

This massive decline in Biblical worldview can be traced back to the cultural revolution of the 1960s. The radical redefinition of marriage, family, and sexuality had a profound impact on America. Divorce, premarital sex, abortion, and alternative sexual lifestyles started to become normalized. Simultaneously, biblical teaching on the same topics was dismissed as outdated or oppressive.

The result? Many left the church they’d grown up in and became “nones.” “Nones” aren’t necessarily atheists, but they don’t hold to a defined sense of religion. They consider themselves “spiritual” while shunning religious commitments, repentance, and a relationship with God.

Many churches addressed the decline in attendance by trying to attract the “nones” back. The result was an emphasis on flashy programs and catchy music instead of solid preaching and teaching. The fundamentals of repentance, salvation, growth as a Christian were also watered down.

Today, many who sit in pews may never hear a message about the importance of salvation or the necessity of God’s commands. Too many congregations “welcome all” without expecting any sort of change to take place through the power of the gospel.

A New Generation Awakens

While interest in God is declining for Boomers (60- to 80-year-olds), Gen X (44- to 60-year-olds), and even Millennials (29- to 44-year-olds) Christianity is making a surprise comeback among Gen Z (13- to 28-year-olds).

The younger generation is hungry for truth, hope and purpose — something the world can't offer. Mark Woods of the Bible Society explains that “there’s a very clear increase in demand” for Bibles among Gen Z because young people are realizing that the Bible has something important to say to them. And they’re hungry for it.

Gen Z adults have grown up in a post-Christian culture with parents and grandparents who were products of the cultural revolution of the 1960’s. But instead of adopting the mantra that “all we need is love,” Gen Z seems to be drawn to the wisdom of Scripture, the promise of salvation, and the call to live a life of purpose and meaning. They want more than “peace, love, and happiness” — they want the truth.

It’s An Exciting Time

The youngest adult generation is searching for something more than the secular “answers” they’ve been fed. As Bible believers, we have the answers they need. For decades, Chick Publications has helped people share the Gospel with accessible, engaging, truth-filled tracts. These little paper preachers speak to the need of every generation —the need for a Savior who forgives sin and gives each person a new purpose in life. Christianity may not be culturally popular, but our work is far from over. In fact, it’s just begun.

Hungary Stands With Israel

 This is great news!  Hungary is ignoring the International Criminal Court’s ruling and welcoming Netanyahu for a visit.  Of course I believe Jesus is coming soon, but if he doesn’t there is going to be a divide in the global order.  Those who stand with Israel and those who would love to see her destroyed.  Jesus will one day judge the nations for how they treated Israel.  We aren’t quite sure what that looks like since all individuals will stand in judgement.  Who is going to represent the nation and how do they get judged?  We will try and find the answer and post it when we do.  But as of today it would appear that Hungary is in for a blessing.

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

CNN — 

Hungary will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), its government said Wednesday, as the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed Israeli Prime Minister and ICC fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu to Budapest.

Speaking alongside Netanyahu in Budapest, Orban said his government decided to leave the court because it has become “a political tool.”

“This very important court has been diminished to a political tool and Hungary wishes to play no role in it,” Orban told reporters during the joint news conference.

Netanyahu praised the decision as “bold and principled,” praising Hungary for its “proud” support for Israel.

“This is important not just for us, but for all democracies … it’s important to stand up to this corrupt organization,” he said. The Israeli PM said he expects Hungary to be the first, but not last country to walk away from the court.

The leaders delivered their short statements without taking any questions.

Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary marked the first time the Israeli leader stepped foot on European soil since the ICC issued an arrest warrant against him and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as against three top officials of Hamas, in May 2024.

Sahara Used to Be a Lush Garden

 Clearly I’m not smart enough to understand what these scientists think they understand.  What’s all the fuss about climate change-global warming today if they KNOW the Sahara desert used to be a lush garden?  Don’t they realize that by reporting this finding, which happened before millions of cars and power plants were here, just makes most of us who read it say, “yeah, the world has been changing for a long time…and it’s going to continue to change.  Men aren’t causing climate change today anymore than men were causing the Sahara to turn into a desert.”

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

Currently a harsh, arid sandscape, it's hard to believe the Sahara was once studded with sparkling water bodies that nourished lush green savannas. But the remains of human pastoralists and their livestock have been found in the region's rock shelters.

"Evidence from ancient lake deposits, pollen samples, and archaeological artifacts confirm human presence, hunting, herding, and resource gathering in the currently arid desert region," Salem and team explain in their paper.

This shared Saharan human lineage took a different path from those in sub-Saharan Africa around the same time that modern humans first left the continent more than 50,000 years ago.

The lineage then remained relatively isolated for many thousands of years, with only small traces of genes entering from the Levantine region to the northeast – including some from  Neanderthals.

"Our findings suggest that while early North African populations were largely isolated, they received traces of Neanderthal DNA due to gene flow from outside Africa," says anthropologist Johannes Krause, from the Max Planck Institute in Germany.

The Takarkori individuals had less Neanderthal DNA than the Moroccan foragers, but significantly more than those from further south of Africa. That suggests that something stemmed the gene flow from Europe from spreading beyond the Sahara region.

Why Don’t Church Leaders Tell Their Congregations About Climate Change?

 This is a pretty funny article to read.  Clearly not written by a Bible believing follower of Christ.  You can spot it right away when they would even dream up researching and writing such a thing.  In their mind all Churches are the same and asking a Methodist lesbian ministress is the same as asking John McArthur.  They both are equal and tallied in the same way.

Let’s be clear.  Followers of Jesus care about water quality, lakes, streams, pheasant habitat and runoff of farm fields.  We are to care for God’s creation.  BUT we also know that God has everything under control and is not wringing his hands on the throne saying, “why are these people not understanding that cow farts are going to wipe them all out? Sigh…”

In fact Peter tells us that the whole thing is going to be burned up and that a new heaven and a new earth will be made!  We are much more concerned about eternal souls of men and being obedient to our Heavenly Father.  Liberals and “weak god” Christians who serve a transgender Jesus are royally freaking out that windmills, solar panels and Teslas haven’t been mandated along with fake meat and jail for ranchers.  Ooooo….funny how the godless who worshiped Tesla just a short time ago and even used them for virtue signaling…are now painting swastikas on them and vandalizing them in all sorts of crazy ways.

The Democrats/liberals/leftists are a group of people with very little hope.  If they ever stop screaming they need evangelizing.

Nearly 90% of U.S. Christian religious leaders believe humans are driving climate change. When churchgoers learn how widespread this belief is, they report taking steps to reduce its effects, as we found in our research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 

We examined data collected in 2023 and 2024 from a nationwide survey of 1,600 religious leaders in the United States. The sample included religious leaders from fundamentalist and evangelical churches, Baptists, Methodists, Black protestants, Roman Catholic denominations and more – all recruited to match the proportions of churches across the country. The survey assessed religious leaders’ beliefs about climate change and whether they discuss climate change with their congregations.

According to that data, while the overwhelming majority of Christian religious leaders accept the human-driven reality of climate change, nearly half have never mentioned climate change or humans’ role in it to their congregations. Further, only a quarter have spoken about it more than once or twice. 

Why it matters

When it comes to climate change, faith communities are often seen as divided. There is an assumption that religious conservatism and climate skepticism go hand in hand. This assumption is based on religious beliefs such as that the Earth was created by God and therefore humans cannot and should not alter it, along with rejection of climate science and diminished concern about climate change.

We then surveyed a sample of Christian Americans from major denominations across the country and found they think roughly half of Christian leaders in the U.S., and in churches like their own, deny that humans cause climate change. Given the actual number is closer to 1 in 10 based on the data we examined, it appears Christians overestimate the prevalence of climate denial among their leaders by around five times the level found in polling.

Churchgoers who think their religious leaders don’t believe humans cause climate change report being less likely to discuss it with fellow congregants and less interested in attending events that aim to address climate change or raise awareness of the issue.

The research also tested what would happen if we informed churchgoers of the true level of consensus among their religious leaders who accept that climate change is driven by humans. In a brief survey, Christians were told the percentage of Christian leaders nationally, and among their denomination specifically, who accepted that human activities cause climate change. As a result, we found, their perceptions and attitudes toward climate change shifted in a variety of ways. 

Specifically, churchgoers who were informed about the actual consensus among religious leaders in accepting climate change were more likely to state that “taking action to reduce climate change” was consistent with their church’s values. 

Churchgoers who received this information were also more likely to feel it would be inconsistent with their church’s values to vote for a political candidate who opposes actions that could slow climate change.

These findings highlight that religious leaders have a unique power to influence climate action – but only if they let their beliefs be known.

What’s next

These findings are not focusing on what is going on in specific churches and denominations. We provided churchgoers only with information on the consensus of acceptance of human-made climate change among Christian religious leaders across the U.S. A natural next step is to conduct research with religious leaders to examine the impact of their communication directly with their congregations, including if they convey the consensus described in this work. 

Religious leaders, often viewed as moral guides, have the ability to reshape climate discourse within faith communities. If they vocalize their acceptance of human-made climate change, we believe they can correct widespread misperceptions, foster dialogue and encourage action in ways that secular authorities may struggle to achieve.

Iran Escalates Threats Against USA

As you all know, Iran is PERSIA in the Bible.  They have an Islamic hatred of USA and Israel.  Most world leaders believe if Iran got a nuclear bomb that they would use it.  Israel and USA will NOT allow that to happen.  Iran is getting close.  The war of words are beginning to fly.  Trump typically follows through on his threats.  Iran may have the capability to respond to US bombing them by attacking US bases in the Middle East.  This thing could go DEFCON 10 and be another step closer toward WWIII.  And guess what?  Maybe the church will be gone before it happens? 

Iran and the U.S. continued threatening each other, as tensions over the Trump administration’s push to reach an agreement over the Iranian nuclear program appear to be coming to a head.

Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump issued his most violent threat, saying that if the two nations fail to reach an agreement, “there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

Last month, Trump reportedly sent a letter to the regime and proposed starting new nuclear talks, while threatening military action if the talks failed to reach a quick conclusion within two months.

Trump's most recent comment sparked outraged responses from several Iranian officials.

Holding a rifle during a televised speech marking the end of Ramadan, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said, “They threaten to attack us, which we don’t think is very probable, but if they commit any mischief, they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow.”

“If the enemies think they can instigate sedition within the country, the Iranian nation itself will respond to them,” he added.

Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Aerospace Division of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), directly threatened U.S. bases in the Middle East.

“The Americans have at least 10 bases with 50,000 troops in the region, meaning they are sitting in a glass room. Someone in a glasshouse should not throw stones at anyone,” he added.

This followed a report by The Telegraph that Iranian military officials have been calling for a preemptive strike on the U.S. base on Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean.

According to the Associated Press, in the past several days at least seven B-2 bombers were deployed to the base, which is about 3,800 kilometers (2,300 miles) from the Iranian border. Reports suggested the base could be used by the U.S. in the case of a military operation to destroy the regime’s nuclear sites.

“Discussions about the island have increased since the Americans stationed bombers there,” Iranian officials said. “The response to Trump's threats must come through action, not words. Every base in the region is within the range of our missiles.”

Analyst Warns of Financial Disaster Worse Than 2008

 Just think about it for a minute…before Trump term #2 we all KNEW that America couldn’t continue on its current path of printing/borrowing trillions per year.  We all KNEW that something, outside of business as usual, needed to change.  People are freaking out now because Trump IS changing things.  He’s trying to get rid of $billions of government waste with Musk and DOGE.  He’s also trying to bring back jobs to America by making foreign good more expensive by using tariffs.  He’s also trying to keep America afloat by shedding thousands of government jobs, because the government was literally printing paper to pay these people.

Everyone is crying “foul!  Stand against Trump and Musk!  We want our free money forever!  We want more government services forever!  We want free healthcare for life forever!  We want to finance our lives today on the backs of our kids forever!  Never change!  Just keep the money coming!”

Can the CEO of a company in trouble just borrow his way out?  Never.  Cuts and difficult decisions have to be made.  Business as usual won’t work because that’s how they got in trouble.  

So maybe Trump has been put on the throne to save America?  There will be pain as we are forced to diet and exercise but if we don’t it’s a certainty that we will die in our easy chair.

Of course the gold guys are going to issue dire warnings…and they may be right.  So the article below is blog-worthy because of the dire warnings for planet earth.  One can see how the rapture will blow up everything and spur the need for “anyone who has a plan!”   The times are ripening for the Antichrist.

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

Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff issued a dire warning Monday, arguing that the U.S. is on the verge of a financial disaster that could eclipse the 2008 crisis. Sharing his concerns on social media platform X, Schiff criticized both government leaders and financial media for ignoring key economic indicators he believes are signaling serious trouble ahead. He likened the current situation to the lead-up to the global financial meltdown over 15 years ago, claiming that the same blindness and missteps are happening again.

He warned that new tariffs will disrupt trade flows and cause a chain reaction of inflationary pressures. Schiff stated:

Tariffs mean fewer goods will come into the country, and fewer dollars will go out. More money chasing fewer goods means higher domestic prices.

“This is an economic certainty. As import prices rise sharply, demand will increase for domestically produced goods, sending those prices higher too. Meanwhile, lower trade deficits will result in fewer dollars being recycled into U.S. bonds, sending long-term interest rates higher,” the economist added.

He explained that these developments would severely impact both consumers and financial markets. In addition, Schiff emphasized that fiscal policy decisions could worsen the downturn: “Higher consumer prices and long-term interest rates will combine to weaken the U.S. economy, increasing the size of federal budget deficits. Middle-class tax cuts will worsen the problem by not only adding to deficit spending but by directly fueling demand for a diminishing supply of goods.”

Russia Warns of Catastrophic Consequences if Trump Bombs Iran

 Iran wants a nuclear bomb.  Reminder to all;  their leaders are worshipping a demon-god they call Allah and his pedophile-prophet, Muhammad.  Also a big reminder that many of the Muslim leaders of Iran are called “twelvers”, because they believe the 12th imam, aka Mahdi, is going to return and they can help him quicken his return!  How?  By making the world into a catastrophe of death, disease and destruction.  

You don’t want these folks who chant death to America and death to Israel to acquire a nuclear bomb.  And maybe, if you were the leader of America and the leader of Israel, you might decide that your only option left to stop them, is to attack all their nuclear sites.  When this happens, it could spark lots of problems.

I wonder if there would be less consequences if Israel carried out the bombing?  It would certainly continue to turn the world against Israel. Which wouldn’t be a surprise since the Bible has said that’s how it will be in the very Last Days.

Russia has warned that strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would have “catastrophic” consequences, after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran unless it came to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program.

“Threats are indeed being heard, ultimatums are also being heard,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Russian journal “International Affairs” in an interview, extracts of which were published on Tuesday. “We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them, we consider them a way for [the US] to impose its own will on the Iranian side.”

Russia has for the most part refrained from sharp criticism of Trump, with whom President Vladimir Putin has moved quickly to repair relations in a rapprochement viewed with concern by Ukraine and its European allies.

The Kremlin has offered to mediate between the Trump administration and Iran, with which it signed a strategic partnership treaty in January.

Trump, in his first remarks since Iran rejected direct negotiations with Washington, told NBC News over the weekend that Tehran could face bombing and secondary tariffs if it did not reach an agreement over its nuclear program.
