🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (9/16/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 24Of David. A psalm.1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.[a] 5 They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior.6 Such is the...

This is very troubling… Why is it that only Republicans believe when you strangle to death your three little innocent children, including a baby, that you committed murder and should be punished? What did these babies ever do to deserve such a cruel death at the hands of their mother? Michael Marcel at Fugitive TV on TouTube interviewed the lone juror who stood up to the leftist mob who were ready to let Lindsey Clancy walk. Michael Marcel: He was very kind, Catholic, and you want to hear something very funny? We started talking. He thinks he knows why he...

On the cover of its latest edition, The Economist promises to uncover “the truth and the lies” about “Islam in Europe.” The story it presents is, for the magazine’s readership, a reassuring one: a crisis of two extreme fringes fighting across a sensible middle. But this is a false framing that betrays the complexity of Islam in Europe it promises to untangle, just when honest understanding is urgently needed. Allow me to explain why. The editors offer a soothing symmetry: on one side, a small minority of Islamist extremists; on the other, a small minority of far-right extremists. “Islam poses...

What good are all our 9/11 memorial services if we allow sharia law to take over our country? Many ardently claim that we shall never forget the heinous murders of 9-11. But in fact, we need to constantly remember the goal of jihadists and actively repel their evil. The mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed designed the September 11 attacks. He told Dr. James Mitchell they did not need another massive Islamic attack to conquer us. They would use our civil liberties, our openness, and our hunger to honor other cultures — he called them gifts from Allah. The practical...

On April 18, 2026, a 58-year-old man committed a mass murder in Kyiv, Ukraine, using a legally registered firearm. Seven people were killed. Two police officers fled the scene. The Minister of the Interior, Ihor Klymenko, established an administrative working group to consider the creation of a national law to allow citizens to own and carry handguns for self-defense. The working group was established on June 11, 2026. Ihor Klymenko was replaced as Interior Minister on July 16, 2026. Ivan Vyhivskyi is the current Minister of the Interior. It is not clear if the working group has submitted recommendations to...

From the gun cabinet of his shooting range, Volodymyr Sukhomlyn pulls out a semiautomatic shotgun. **SNIP** Not an easy target “But more recently it’s been bus drivers and cabbies buying them, too — anyone who is out on the streets a lot.” One FPV attack this month injured several people at a supermarket, leaving the floor stained with blood. Another ploughed into the upper floors of a government building downtown. “I heard it coming and we had to hide in a shop when it exploded,” said Julia Sologub, 31. “It used to be just a problem for soldiers — now...

We are past the peak of the Hurricane season and the great news is that no hurricanes have yet formed in the Atlantic Ocean. This should be a cause of massive relief yet for poor David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this also seems to be a source of frustration. Why? Because Donald Trump has not had to face a hurricane disaster going into the midterm elections. Graham's bizarre attitude can be see in his Tuesday article in which he almost seems to plead for a hurricane so as to harm Trump, "How Long Can the U.S. Escape an Atlantic...

This video from the Watching the Watchers channel discusses the criminal sentencing of Elpedio Raina, a man from Compton, for his role in attacking ICE vehicles (0:00 - 0:24).

A longtime reporter and a veteran pilot have been identified as victims on board an NBC helicopter when it crashed between two buildings near the scene of a deadly bus collision in Los Angeles. Heartbroken colleagues identified reporter Eliana 'Eli' Moreno and pilot George Marciniw as the two people tragically killed when the news helicopter went down in a parking lot in Chatsworth just before 7pm on Tuesday night. A pedestrian, who has not yet been identified, also died at the scene. Another was transported to a local hospital in unknown condition. The NewsChopper4 was flying over the area between...

For Americans who follow the Russian-Ukrainian war, the past few months must look very strange. In the first half of summer, the story from Kyiv – and the many western media outlets that repeated it – was that Ukraine was winning. Then, not long after the NATO summit in July, Kyiv announced it lacked the interceptors to prevent a winter disaster. The country needed 300 missiles to survive, we were told. Even if these 300 missiles arrive, they are unlikely to protect a country as large as Ukraine from the sheer volume of Russian ballistic attacks and glide-bomb strikes. Now...

Catholic parents in Massachusetts are fighting for custody of their trans teen whom they say authorities illegally snatched from their care for secret gender-affirming treatments. Joseph and Arlene Kutzko are completely cut off from their 17-year-old daughter Sophie, whom child protective services removed from their care in 2024 allegedly because they would not recognize the biological female as a boy, the couple told Fox’s Lighthouse Faith podcast. Staff at Sophie’s high school in the town of Northborough exposed their daughter to “LGBTQ teachings in topics that conflict with our Catholic beliefs” and eventually counseled her on her own gender transition,...

While the trade war between Trump and Canada continues, China has been selling cheap aluminum and steel to Canada to get around tariffs and undercut American workers. “The United States is fed up. They're fed up with countries that said for 30 years they were going to protect themselves and help NATO, and the most egregious offender in the last 15 years has been Canada.” Watch the full episode with Victor Davis Hanson here: https://youtu.be/-265LpIW5uI?si=H40pljVH0mICeB3f

The BMA’s [British Medical Association’s] new VSED (Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking) guidance is not a British story. Canada ran this experiment years ago, and we already know how it ends. Every time one of these documents lands, the same thing happens. A medical body publishes something careful and administrative, the language is so smooth you could skate on it, and the people who object are told they’ve misread it. Nobody is being killed. Nobody is being pushed. This is only guidance, only clarification, only doctors being given the information they need to care for their patients well. I have...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, MartyrsJesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’” Luke 7:31–32The simile Jesus uses in this teaching—“We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep”—portrays a generation that is spiritually unresponsive and resistant...

A convicted pedophile who began identifying as “transgender” after his incarceration is currently housed in a women’s prison in Minnesota, where he has been exposing himself to women and writing poetry about rape. Daniel Patrick Benz, who legally changed his name to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of 2023, has been accused by multiple female inmates at Shakopee women’s prison of exposing his penis to them and asking them to read aloud poetry he wrote containing descriptions of rape. Female inmates have told Reduxx that the fear of retaliation from prison officials has kept many women from filing official complaints....

Using his social-media megaphone to roil the waters, the tech entrepreneur is promoting a new anti-immigration party; ‘civil war is inevitable’ LONDON—On the eve of becoming the world’s first trillionaire, Elon Musk was fixated on political turmoil an ocean away from SpaceX headquarters.In one X post, he called the mayor of Belfast a “betrayer of her people.” In another, he called a British political leader “a scumbag and a traitor.” And a post from a once-obscure politician named Rupert Lowe—whose nascent far-right party Musk had declared the only hope for salvaging Britain’s future—got more than three million views after Musk...
