Russia’s unexpected announcement recognizing Israel’s eternal capital of Jerusalem, a dramatic decision that places Vladimir Putin against Donald Trump in a totally new big-power rivalry – the race to Jerusalem. Many American and Israeli Jews have waited with mounting impatience for Trump to keep his campaign promise to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Against an atmosphere of US equivocation, Putin suddenly announced, without preamble or restricting conditions, the recognition of Israel’s capital, to take effect immediately.

A statement issued on Sunday by a joint command centre consisting of forces of Russian, Iran and allied militia alliance supporting Syrian President Bashar al Assad said that Friday's US strike on the Syrian air base crossed “red lines” and it would "respond with force" to any new aggression while increasing their level of support to their ally. In the statement published by the group on media outlet Ilam al Harbi, the pro-Assad alliances says that “what America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any...

The JCPOA grants the Iranian regime two historic achievements – the status of a nuclear state and immunity against a Western attack due to its nuclear development. This is effectively a Western guarantee of the Islamic Republic regime's survival. These achievements cannot be cancelled unless the agreement itself is declared invalid. Iranian spokesmen have stressed that even if President Trump's administration cancels the agreement, the agreement cannot be cancelled – because Iran, in its prescience, involved the EU and the UN in backing the agreement. Even if the U.S. alone were to cancel the agreement, it would still remain in...

Scoop! Susan Rice also unmasked pro-Israel activists during Obama's Iran negotiations!

This week, U.S. Central Command Commander Gen. Joseph Votel testified before the House Armed Services Committee. In his opening statement, he declared that "Iran poses the greatest long-term threat to stability in this part of the world." To this day, Iran has not improved its behavior since the nuclear agreement was signed. In a written statement, the General pointed out, "the [nuclear] agreement has led some to believe that we have largely addressed the Iranian problem set and that is not the case.” Since the nuclear agreement, Iran has been clearly focused on expanding its influence and power throughout the...

The nation's top military official in the Middle East on Wednesday said Iran is one of the greatest threats to the U.S. today and has increased its "destabilizing role" in the region. "I believe that Iran is operating in what I call a gray zone," Commander of the U.S. Central Command, Army Gen. Joseph Votel, told the House Armed Services Committee in testimony Wednesday. "And it's an area between normal competition between states — and it's just short of open conflict." The general said Iran is exploiting this area in a variety of different ways, through things such as "lethal...

Another day, another anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations — this one dressed up in the faux trappings of an assist to Palestinian women. What this resolution really amounts to is one more reason for America to stop funding the UN. Lest that sound overwrought, let’s peer into the UN boudoir whence came this resolution, which passed by a wide margin last week under the anodyne and oh-so-UN title: “Situation of and Assistance to Palestinian Women.” Sounds reasonable, perhaps?

Democratic super-lobbyist Tony Podesta grossed more than $500,000 to represent a Chinese company criminally convicted in March of sending illegal shipments of telecom equipment to Iran, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned. The seriousness of the illegal sales to Iran were so extreme and continued for so long — from 2010 to last year — the Department of Justice (DOJ) imposed a record $1.19 billion fine on the ZTE Telecommunications company, making it the largest penalty ever imposed in a U.S. sanctions case. {..snip..}

ISLAM: HOW TO BEAT YOUR WIFE (this is worth three minutes of your time)

In this week's update entitled "Times of the Signs" John explores several pertinent topics, including the question of the Mark of the Beast, the terror attack in England (and the subsequent left-leaning commentary which gets destroyed by a free-thinking commentator in a video John shows) as well as the issues facing Israel.

Watch and smile as a speaker takes to task several countries and addresses the UN President, asking "Where are...

..... "Ahwaz was Arab land since the time of [the kingdom of] Elam, some 4,000 years ago, through the [time of] the Babylonians, the Assyrians, and the Chaldeans, up until the Achaemenids, led by Cyrus the Great, invaded in 539 BC. Persian control [of it] lasted until the Battle of Dhi Qar,[4] when the Arab tribes surrendered to the kingdom of Banu Lakhm,[5] to the Islamic conquest [in the second half of the 7th century CE].

A Muslim officer who was fired by the North Chicago Police Department last month is suing for religious discrimination, claiming he was fired after complaining about harassment. “I risked my life so someone could sleep better. And this is not right. This is not right what they did to me,” said Ramtin Sabet. Sabet started working for the North Chicago police in 2007, and the Iranian born officer said the harassment started a few years later.

It was not immediately clear if any of the companies, which included defense technology firm Raytheon, had any dealings with Iran or whether...

Yesterday we did a story about the Torrance area political hack, Congressman Ted Lieu—he wanted you NOT to watch Fake news—so he recommended you watch MSNBC—the funniest news operation this side of Saturday Night Live news at midnight.  Now we find Congressman Adam Schiff, of the Burbank area, who has sold out Israel, the United States, the Constitution and freedom. Iran wants to bomb Israel out of existence—and Schiff wants to give them NUCLEAR weapons, to do the job.
