NYC Mayor, Mandami, Looks for Opportunity to Arrest Netanyahu

 It’s still hard to believe that the Big Apple voted in a Muslim as mayor.  How is this possible after Muslim terrorists blew up the city on 9/11?  And now we have a Jew-hating mayor with his Jew-hating wife elevated to be the Prince and princess of New York City.  Muslims around the world look at this and cheer while understanding this was a huge first step in the Islamic takeover of America.

Meanwhile the Leftists in America still are hung up on “Free Palestine!”  This is just one more example of how godlessness on the Left has led them into delusion.  It seems God has given them over to a depraved mind that seems incapable of grasping even the most basic common sense.

Romans 1

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he’s desperately seeking a legal loophole to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes when he visits in NYC in September.

The Pro-Palestine, Israel-hating, socialist pol said in an interview published Saturday that it’s unclear whether he has the authority to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu during the prime minister’s expected trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly – but is in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani bluntly told The New York Times, referring to the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that it is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”

Mamdani – who has made accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza a focal point of a far-left ideology that has helped propel him into the national spotlight  – vowed during last year’s campaign that, if elected mayor, he’d have Netanyahu arrested if he ever set foot in NYC.

He cited the International Criminal Court’s 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu — which the U.S. doesn’t recognize.

However, Mamdani insisted during The Times interview that the city “won’t be writing our own laws” to lock up the prime minister, who is seeking re-election.

“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do,” he said.

During the interview, Mamdani also complained about media coverage of his wife Rama Duwaji, who has come under fire for her long history of bashing the United States and Israel. 

This includes since-deleted social media posts praising Palestinian terror groups and others attacking US service members for assisting the Jewish State. 

The Syrian-American artist also once liked a social media post claiming Hamas’ rapes of Israelis during the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack were a “mass hoax.” 

“She is her own person,” Mamdani said. “She is an incredible artist, and yet so much of how she engages with the world is framed through her being my wife.

Islam is Taking Over But No One Wants to Hear It

 I only posted part 1 and part 10 below so make sure to go to the link and read the other 8 parts.  

Why is the Left so unwilling to hear the truth about Islam?  Why do they actually defend Islam coming to the West?  Why are they so blind that they chant “Free Palestine!”, and wear Islamic garb at protests?  Why does the Left seem so convinced that white supremacy is a problem (it’s not) while totally missing the obvious that Islam has plans to dominate the world and implement shariah law over every land they conquer?

The only answer that’s possible is spiritual deception.  They reject Jesus and the Word of God so that makes delusion and deception near impossible for them to avoid.  They are inviting the wolf right into their homes believing that if feed the wolf that he will be nice to everyone and quit acting like a wolf.

2 Thessalonians 

They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

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

Ten years ago in a Vienna basement, a former Pentagon intelligence officer dropped hard truths about the Islamic threat that most Western leaders still refuse to face.

In May 2015, retired U.S. Army Major Stephen Coughlin delivered a private briefing in a colleague’s basement in Vienna, Austria. What was meant to be an informal talk for concerned citizens became one of the most important series of lectures on the real nature of the threat facing the West.

Now edited into ten digestible segments, “The Red Pill Brief” pulls no punches. Drawing directly from Islamic doctrine, Muslim Brotherhood strategy, and declassified documents, Coughlin explains how the West has been systematically blindfolded by political correctness, language manipulation, and institutional capture.

With 11 years since this briefing, we can see exactly the pattern that Maj. (ret.) Coughlin was describing and predicting.

Part 1: Setting the Stage

In the opening segment, Major Coughlin lays the foundation: the difference between what our leaders say Islam is, and what Islamic sources themselves declare it to be. He introduces the audience to the doctrinal drivers behind jihad and why ignoring them has proven catastrophic.

One of the central points Stephen makes, and it is critical to understand, is that: “When the Islamic world says ‘Human Rights’, they mean Sharia, and nothing but sharia'”.

Expect to have your assumptions about Islam challenged from the very first minute.

Part X: The Objective of Jihad and the Endgame

In the final segment, Major Coughlin lays out the ultimate objective of jihad from classical Islamic law: the Caliph must make war on Jews and Christians (and others) until they convert to Islam or submit and pay the jizya poll tax in a state of humiliation.

He highlights the disturbing Islamic eschatology in which Jesus, whom Islam refers to as “Isa,” returns, not to save Christians, but to “break the cross”, “kill the pigs” (Christians and Jews), and enforce Islamic rule.

Coughlin also returns to the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of using interfaith dialogue and Western institutions against themselves, showing how the left and Islamic groups work in parallel to subvert society from within.

The briefing ends with a sobering warning: political correctness and the refusal to understand the enemy’s doctrine is a strategy that will lead to defeat, as it has in the past, for many nations and peoples that did not take heed.

Will Europe Pull Through? Or is Death at its Doorstep?

 

• In 2024, 24% of births in the EU were to foreign-born mothers. This figure exceeds 30% in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Austria and others, and reaches 68% in Luxembourg. Within five to ten years, Luxembourg will cease to exist as a country furthering Western values.

• Assimilation of immigrants has not taken place.... When one imports the Third World, one becomes the Third World.

• Under the influence of green ideology and European policy commitments such as the Green Deal and carbon taxes, Europe has voluntarily sabotaged its energy markets.

• In the coming years, we may see electoral victories in national elections by parties that are tougher on immigration and more skeptical of the forced energy transition. These victories are already under way in several countries. But what will such parties actually be able to do when faced with millions of additional retirees to finance from a shrinking contribution base? Or debt commitments already contracted? Or European rules that prohibit many solutions?

• The answer is simple: they will be forced, like the others, to increase the economic pressure on those who still work and save – through income taxes, wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, miscellaneous levies and creeping inflation.

• These new "right wing" parties might also, one hopes, fast-track simplifying paperwork, eliminating unnecessary regulations, lowering taxes and providing incentives for economic growth.

• [T]he Roman West was not conquered: it slowly mutated from within into a mosaic of Romano-barbarian kingdoms. Classical civilization died, replaced by something else.

• Europe as we have known it — that civilization from which America was born — at this point does not look as if it will pull through. It is giving way to something else: a society more fragmented, poorer, more dependent on the government, less free, and less European. Then surrounding plausible powers will not resist the temptation to come for the spoils...

Pope Continues Saying and Doing Things to Bring Credibility to Islam

 

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

The Pope continues to say things and do things that lead us to believe he is on a path to be the False Prophet following the rapture.  He is saying things that are false.  The Left-behind world will love his soothing words of “believe what you want!  Practice your truth!  In the end all religions are a spiritual connection and that’s all that really matters to what ever name you have given god.”  

But Jesus warns that MANY will plead with God on The Great White Throne judgment day, claiming they spoke holy words, prayed prayers, did good things, even used the name of Jesus to cast out demons.  But Jesus will say to them, “Depart from me.  I don’t know you.”

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

During a recent visit to Türkiye (formerly Turkey), Pope Leo XIV became the third pope to enter Istanbul’s Blue Mosque. However, unlike his predecessors, he not only visited the significant Islamic site but took it a step further —he approved of it.

During his tour, he was accompanied by local Muslim leaders and officials and spent time inside the mosque in quiet reflection. The Vatican later described the moment this way: “[The Pope entered] in silence, in a spirit of recollection and attentive listening, with deep respect for the place and for the faith of those who gather there in prayer.”

Afterward, Pope Leo went further, referring to the mosque as a “space proper to God,” describing it as a place for people to seek “the presence of the Most High.”

However, even many Catholics rejected this statement. Biblical Christianity and Islam disagree on nearly every major tenet. Islam rejects Christ as the Son of God and rejects His deity altogether. These are two of the biggest foundational differences. Yet Pope Leo chose to focus on the nonexistent “shared values” of reverence, prayer, and seeking God.

Unity Through “Full Communion”

Later during the same trip, Pope Leo traveled to the Patriarchal Church of Saint George where he joined Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in a prayer service. The meeting focused heavily on “Christian unity” and the relationship between Rome and Eastern Orthodoxy.

Referring to Christ’s prayer “that all His disciples may be one” he pushed for visible unity and encouraged renewed efforts toward “full communion among all Christians.” He did not, however, discuss what it truly means to be a disciple of Christ.

The meeting concluded with Pope Leo and Patriarch Bartholomew signing a joint declaration reaffirming shared commitment to “Christian unity” and peace —but not to biblical doctrine or truth.

Christians and Muslims Called to Work Together

The emphasis on interfaith “unity” did not stop in Türkiye. Shortly afterward, Pope Leo met with participants attending an interfaith conference and again called for greater cooperation between religions.

During the gathering, he urged Christians and Muslims to “revive humanity where it has grown cold” and “transform indifference into solidarity.” He also described compassion and empathy as “essential attitudes” shared by both Christianity and Islam.

His message centered heavily on joining together for a shared social mission and common purpose — but what common purpose could Catholics have with Muslims?

Buddhists and Christians as “Artisans of Peace”

Then, ahead of Vesak—the major Buddhist holiday commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha—the Vatican released a message encouraging Christians and Buddhists to become “artisans of peace.” But the statement went further than extending holiday greetings.

The message equated Buddhist teachings with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9 and 5:44, claiming that there was a “deep spiritual convergence” between Buddhism and Christianity. It stated that “both traditions converge” toward a shared vision of peace and encouraged religious leaders to become “authentic partners in dialogue and true agents of reconciliation.”

The Pattern Is Clear

Pope Leo is willingly taking religions that present fundamentally different understandings of God, truth, salvation, and Christ Himself, and putting them on the same level as one another. He is equating Christ and Muhammad. He is effectively stating that Buddhism and Bible-based salvation share a common thread.

However, scripture is clear. There is one way to salvation and that is Christ alone. There is no room for this false message that the world’s religions are simply different roads leading to the same destination.

Trump Finally Realizes He Can’t Trust Iranian Leaders

 We are happy to read this news.  We thought Trump was losing his mind thinking he could trust a regime in Iran that has chanted “death to America!” for 47 years.  But we all kept praying and maybe our prayers moved him back to reality?

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

Well, that didn’t take long. 

President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday said the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding that he and Vice President JD Vance struck with Iran is now off the table.

As ALL ISRAEL NEWS reported, Trump also accused the current Iranian leadership of being “sick, vicious, violent and evil people.” 

I couldn’t agree more.

The big question is: What happens next? 

My colleagues and I at ALL ISRAEL NEWS have been warning for weeks that the Trump/Vance deal was way too generous.

We have also been warning that Tehran could not be trusted to negotiate a serious, solid and verifiable final deal. 

Not yet, anyway. 

Not until they are punished much more and their offensive capabilities are completely obliterated. 

Finally, after weeks of Iran attacking ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz — and attacking America’s Arab allies in the Gulf — Trump agrees. 

To his credit, Trump has ordered U.S. forces to hit dozens of Iranian military targets. 

Good. 

Evangelical Christians should be grateful that Trump and his team are getting much tougher with Iran.

At the same time, we need to pray for the Lord to urgently grant “wisdom from above” to the Commander-in-Chief and his inner circle. 

The U.S. must truly win this war and end the Iran threat once and for all.

None of us want a raging war in the Gulf to continue with no end in sight.

None of us want oil and gas prices to skyrocket again and stay high forever.

No one wants American soldiers and civilians living in the Gulf region — or the 700,000 Americans who live in Israel — or any of our Israeli and Arab allies to have to endure another massive missile war.

That said, we cannot allow the wicked Iranian regime to win.

Or look like they’re winning.

Or act like they’re winning.

President Trump was exceedingly generous in his MOU with Iran — far too generous, in my view.

He hoped Iranian leaders would welcome all the carrots.

He also hoped that he wouldn’t need to use any more sticks.

Trump was wrong.

But to his credit he has quickly realized that he was wrong. 

And he’s not waiting until after the midterm elections in the U.S. to get much, much tougher with Tehran. 

Good for him. 

But it’s not clear what moves he should take next. 

That’s why we need to pray. 

In the Bible, the Apostle Paul commands us to pray for our leaders “that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life” (1 Timothy 2:1-6).

Amen — as Evangelicals, let us now pray without ceasing.

The Disturbing Numbers Behind America’s Growing Shift Away From Israel

 Nothing ever changes.  Humans just continue to repeat the same patterns.  The grandparents witnessed something and they know it to be true.  They told their kids about it with such sincerity that even though the kids didn’t see it with their own eyes they mostly believe it.  But for the grandkids who come along 50-60-70 years later…”was it really all that bad?  Did it really even happen?  Maybe the bad guys were actually to good guys?”

When General Eisenhower showed up at the concentration camps in Europe and saw the atrocities with his own eyes, he famously said, "Get it all on record now—get the films, get the witnesses—because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say this never happened".

And that’s where we are.  The 20-30 yr olds are watching tik tok to get their news and they see some sharp talking guy on a podcast say, “the Jews are actually the problem!  Look at all the money and power they have!  Maybe Hitler was actually the good guy who God sent to try and rid us of this “synagogue of Satan”?  And they start to believe it!

But most disheartening is that even the Evangelical church is falling away from their belief that God has orchestrated the rebirth of Israel so they can fulfill everything written.

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

Polls showing overall disapproval of Israel are nothing new, but the latest AP-NORC survey is different. It paints an even more alarming picture of where Americans now stand on Israel.  

Perhaps the most striking finding is this: 31% of Americans now believe Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Only 20% reject that accusation, while an astonishing 49% say they don't know enough to have an opinion. That means only one in five Americans is willing to definitively say Israel has not committed genocide. 

Think about that. Just a few years ago, accusations of genocide against Israel were largely confined to activist circles. Today, the charge has entered mainstream American opinion.

Even among Jewish Americans, opinion has become fractured. The survey finds 30% of Jewish respondents believe Israel has committed genocide, compared to 49% who reject the charge and 21% who remain unsure. That’s an extraordinary shift in the conversation.

The poll also shows Americans increasingly believe the United States favors Israel too much. Today, 40% of Americans say America is too supportive of Israel, while only 18% believe the U.S. is not supportive enough. Another 37% say current support is about right. 

Compare that with just a few years ago. In August 2023 – before Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre – only 27% thought America was too supportive of Israel. Today it’s 40%. That’s a 13-point increase in less than three years.  

At the same time, sympathy toward the Palestinians has grown. Nearly four in ten Americans (39%) now say the United States is not supportive enough of Palestinians, while only 18% believe America is too supportive of them. 

That represents another significant shift from 2023, when only 30% believed America wasn’t supportive enough of Palestinians.

Here’s the reality and it’s not good news for Israel: public opinion isn’t simply becoming more balanced. It is moving.

Another troubling statistic involves Israel’s military campaign itself. Only 22% of Americans say Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza are justified. Meanwhile, 35% say they are not justified, and an enormous 43% say they don’t know enough to say. 

Contrast that with Israel’s initial response immediately after Oct. 7. There, 43% said Israel’s immediate military response was justified, while only 16% disagreed.  

Even support for a Palestinian state has nudged upward. Today, 24% favor establishing an independent Palestinian state including the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem. Only 16% oppose such a state, while a majority – 58% – remain somewhere in the middle, neither supporting nor opposing the idea.  

Another revealing finding involves what Americans consider important. Only 35% describe Israel as an extremely or very important issue personally. Meanwhile, 38% say it is only somewhat important, and 26% say it is not very important or not important at all.  

That means Israel simply isn’t a defining issue for most Americans. For Israel’s supporters, that’s perhaps the most dangerous statistic of all.

My biggest takeaway, however, lies inside Christianity. For decades, one of Israel’s greatest political assets in America hasn’t been a president or a political party. It has been evangelical Christians.

Historically, evangelical Christians have been Israel’s strongest and most reliable supporters. That support has been rooted less in politics than in biblical conviction – beliefs about God’s covenant with Israel, biblical prophecy, and the Jewish roots of Christianity.

While support for Israel has steadily eroded among Democrats, younger Americans, and religiously unaffiliated voters, evangelical Christians largely held the line. 

However, new polling suggests the broader cultural tide is becoming so powerful that even the evangelical movement may not be immune much longer. Younger evangelicals are growing up in an entirely different information environment.

They consume news through TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and influencers far more than through churches, Christian television, or traditional ministries. Their worldview is increasingly shaped by images of humanitarian suffering rather than decades of teaching about Israel’s biblical significance or security challenges. 

This poll doesn’t specifically break out younger evangelicals, but it documents a broader cultural movement that inevitably places pressure on every institution – including churches. 

That’s why this moment feels different.

Israel has survived military invasions, terrorist campaigns, and diplomatic crises before but the larger battle today may not be fought primarily in Jerusalem. It may be fought inside American churches. That should concern every single Evangelical Christian in America.

U.S. Must Prepare for War With Russia

 Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of war as His return nears.  Here’s an article talking about how USA must prepare for a war with Russia.  

Their war with Ukraine has lingered on and on.  Russia wants a big chunk of Eastern Ukraine and they already possess most of it.  So Ukraine is fighting for its border…because borders matter to countries.

Remember when all the US Liberals virtue signaled by posting Ukrainian flags to their social media and declaring “I stand with Ukraine”?  Those same Liberals don’t want America to defend its border and instead believe illegals should be allowed to walk across our borders, the millions who overstay their visas should NOT be arrested and sent back and their should be nothing done about the millions of women, over the past decade, who book flights to America when they’re 9 months pregnant and deliver their baby on US soil so they can have an “anchor baby”.

Today is America’s 250th birthday and we are so blessed that we got to grow up, have kids, buy houses and live in the greatest nation that God brought forth in 6000 years of human history.  So we celebrate but we also mourn that now the majority of Americans don’t believe God had anything to do with it.  In fact they actually hate the country and believe it should be torn down…and many of them will soon come to power in the next elections.  Lord have mercy.

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

While news reports have focused on the Middle East for most of 2026, the war in Ukraine has intensified and its potential for continental spillover increased. Also, there is evidence suggesting the globalists are fomenting escalation. Writers for the Council on Foreign Relations say that America should prepare to join Central and Western Europe in an eventual war against Russia. A Russian spokesperson recently appeared on a popular American podcast saying that, at this rate, the conflict is indeed heading toward another world war.

State-controlled Russian media reported on Friday that a Ukrainian drone attack killed five Russian civilians and injured another 18. These are the latest casualties resulting from weeks of intense strike exchanges between the Russians and Ukrainians. The day before, Russia hit Ukraine’s capital, reportedly killing 27 and injuring dozens of other civilians.

Ukraine has, by all accounts, ratcheted up the pressure on Russia with effective attacks inside the Motherland that have disrupted energy flow, flights, and civilian life in general. The point of the attacks, Ukraine’s leaders have said, is to bring the consequences of the war to the Russian people with the larger goal of making Russia more amenable during negotiations.

For their part, the Russians have grown visibly frustrated. On Monday, the “merchant of death,” arms dealer Viktor Bout, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show in what appears to be a proxy plea by the Russians to U.S. leaders to halt all lingering American support for Ukraine and let this war reach its natural conclusion. That conclusion, in Russia’s view, is Ukraine giving up and agreeing to a deal that officially cedes Eastern Ukraine (most of which the Russians now occupy), and one in which Ukraine agrees not to seek NATO membership or allow foreign armies within its borders.

Russia Still a Threat

The globalists writing in Foreign Affairs, the flagship magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, appear to be pre-programming Western society with the idea that a U.S. war against Russia is inevitable and necessary. One of the articles in the July/August issue is titled “The Next Russia Threat.” The author is Michael Kofman, a Carnegie Endowment senior fellow. He has also been affiliated with the Center for Naval Analyses, an intelligence arm of the U.S. Department of the Navy; and the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute, which is administered by the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research — a member of the U.S. intelligence community.

Kofman says that even if Russia can’t defeat Ukraine, it “will remain the primary threat in Europe for years to come.” He says this while acknowledging the analysis of sensible people. “There is a sense that Russia’s losses of troops and equipment have left its forces in tatters and that a military incapable of making significant advances in Ukraine can’t possibly threaten Europe,” he writes. (This, by the way, is also the assessment of Washington, that Russia is simply not powerful enough to pose a legitimate threat to the rest of Europe.)

Sooner Rather Than Later

But not so fast. “Current trends suggest that Russia will reconstitute its military enough to pose a major threat faster than analysts expected back in 2022,” says Kofman. So America and Europe should start getting ready for a war with Russia. “As the United States and many European states focus on ensuring Ukraine’s success, they must also think beyond this war and begin preparing for the enduring challenge that Russia poses,” he writes. He emphasizes that America needs to be part of this war: “The enduring threat from Moscow is not one that Washington should readily dismiss or simply hand off to Europeans.”

Kofman even games out the opening days of this desired war. Russia “will retain a traditional focus on firepower, including artillery and precision-strike capabilities, while adding a large number of drone formations to the force,” he writes. “NATO forces remain superior overall but have yet to adapt to some of these changes, which could lead to higher losses in the opening days of a future war with Russia.”

Kofman’s basis for saying Russia will pose a threat to Europe sooner rather than later essentially comes down to what the Kremlin is doing to bolster its military capabilities. “Although they have suffered massive losses, Russia’s armed forces have expanded over the course of the war, and the country’s production of key munitions and weapons systems has increased,” he says. “The future Russian military will have more infantry — reversing prior cuts — and more drone formations to provide fire support or conduct precision strikes.”

The Russians have made no secret of their military buildup. But they claim it’s to prepare for a war that Europe wants, not the Russians.

Scientists Claim They Engineered New Life Form

 Why is all this crazy stuff that provokes God seem to be happening in Minnesota?

Last week the Mayor of Minneapolis signed a new law allowing gay bath houses to operate in the city which would allow gay and queer men to show up and have sex with strangers with the blessing of city officials.

Today we read troubling news that some scientists at the University of Minnesota have made a life form that grows, eats and reproduces.

Scientists claim that for the first time in history, they have constructed a synthetic cell that feeds, grows, and replicates — just like a natural one — out of non-living chemical components.

The team from the University of Minnesota says their “SpudCell” is the “first synthetic cell with a complete cell cycle,” and can “grow, replicate its genome, divide, and undergo selection and competition across multiple generations.”

The research, which is being hailed as a major breakthrough, could usher in a new biotech era defined by synthetic organisms that can be grown from scratch and programmed to complete specific functions. It’s a futuristic approach that could open many doors for our efforts to solve a wide variety of human problems, from fighting cancer to capturing carbon.

It could also challenge our preconceived notions of what’s considered “life,” while exploring the essential functions of a living cell.

“We’ve replicated in chemistry what only used to be possible in biology: the complete set of behaviors of a cell,” said team lead and University of Minnesota synthetic biologist Kate Adamala in a statement about the work. “It proves that the most fundamental functions of life, like growth and replication, do not need a mysterious magical spark.”

Yet the research is still in its infancy. SpudCell is still primitive, most closely resembling a bacterium. But since it’s built from scratch, the team says it has some key advantages over natural cells.

“I know the full ingredient list of the cell, I know exactly what chemicals, what molecules at what concentrations,” Adamala told CNN. “It is fully defined, which means we can engineer it.”

“We’re hoping we’re really starting the true age of bioeconomy, enabling technology that will let people engineer biology,” she added.

Here;  Scientists Build Fully Synthetic Life Form That Can Eat and Reproduce

We don't need God or some "mysterious magical spark" to create life!  We can engineer life in any form we want!  We are masters of the universe!

This news certainly falls into the file of "as it was in the days of Noah".  When is Jesus coming for us so that the burning hail can fall after we are gone?

It’s Time! More Calls to Build the Temple

 A red heifer born last month in the hills of the Galilee, sired by imported American semen and born to a black-coated mother, has reignited a coordinated national campaign among Israeli rabbis, breeders, and educators to restore the lost laws of ritual purity to the Jewish people. The campaign arrives at a moment when public appetite for Temple-related preparation appears to be surging: a recent survey found 55 percent of Israeli Jews now support rebuilding the Holy Temple on the Temple Mount, and a report published this week put the number of men enrolled in Temple service training at 150,000, out of a planned 200,000. “This is not a private event or private issue,” declared Yehuda Ben Tzvi, head of programming at the Mikdash Educational Center, in an interview with Joseph Good of Hatikva Ministries. The calf, he announced, is only one piece of a six-point national strategy the organization has spent the past year building, one Ben Tzvi insists must become “a national historical event” rather than the work of a small circle of activists.

“Humanity has Chosen to Become Idiots”

 As many of you know I’ve worked with high school-age drug addicts for the last decade and had a chance to sit in public school with them.  Minnesota provides a school district, public teachers and the computers and materials to run a high school on our closed campus for the 25 kids in our treatment program.

I’ve personally witnessed how our “passing grade” high school kids of today are about as smart as a 3rd grader of 50 years ago.  They can’t write, they can’t use their heads to do simple math, they cut and paste test questions into another browser on their computer and let AI give them the answer to their multiple choice exam.  They don’t know about 9/11, they don’t know who America got it’s independence from, one asked me what 12+6 was because he forgot his calculator, they’ve been fed a whole boat load of woke ideology like “stolen land”, America is racist, capitalism is bad, etc…

Our forefathers understood that our republic would only work to govern an educated, moral and God-fearing populace.  We are now none of these things.  

And now these cheating, uneducated high school grads go on to college and cheat their way through to get a diploma.  When they get busted they just drop the class.  Read below what happened at Brown University, one of the most elite colleges in America…if it’s happening there just imagine what’s happening at all the lesser colleges around the country.

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

Of the 86 students who took the March 5 exam, 40 scored a perfect 100. The class average was 96 whereas in previous years, the average had ranged between 65 and 80—and this exam, by design, was harder than usual. “The beauty of take-home exams used to be that we professors were able to challenge students a little more, just to push them to a higher level,” Serrano said. “The fact that this was a harder exam and this distribution made it absolutely clear that something very unusual had happened.”

Serrano got tipped off by something that was just too smart, he said. “Some answers contained unusual passages that coincided with results obtained after running the questions through ChatGPT,” Serrano said. His graders ran the exam questions through ChatGPT and made a telling discovery: the AI had generated a convoluted argument for a problem that has a much simpler, more elegant proof, and that same convoluted reasoning appeared across dozens of student exams. “This distribution made it clear that something seriously wrong had happened,” he said, calling it “absolutely ridiculous.”

But Seranno said he decided to give his students the benefit of the doubt: He wasn’t going to void the midterm, but told them the final exam would be in person. If the grade distribution didn’t roughly mirror the midterm’s, only the final would count.

When Serrano returned to class after grading, he told his students exactly what he’d found. “If you did this, if you just press a button to ask an AI agent to do this for you, you’re showing to be completely irrelevant. So my question to you is, why are you here? Why are you at a university if you refuse to learn, you refuse to work hard, if you refuse to put in the necessary effort to develop critical thinking?”

“If all you’re doing is just pressing a button to do to have this machine do the work for you, then you think you need a Brown degree for that?”

When asked about the initial reaction from his students, Serrano answered with just one word: “silence.” He suspected the cheaters weren’t even there: “I think most of the cheaters were not in class, frankly.” He closed class that day by reminding the students of the honor code. “You all signed this, right? Sadly, that’s the value of your signature.”

Following his speech, 27 students dropped the course; 22 of those had scored 100 on the take-home.

When the final came around, only 59 showed up for the in-person exam and 19 failed. The class average collapsed to 48 out of 100: by far the lowest final exam average in the course’s history. “The empirical evidence of fraud is overwhelming,” Serrano said. “When you put together all this information and the distributions of the two exams, it’s absolutely clear.”

After assembling his evidence, Serrano sent it to Brown’s dean of the college and provost. Neither responded initially. After he escalated the case to the university’s Academic Code Committee, he received a note calling the incident “a wake-up call.” The provost, he said, has maintained complete silence to this day.
