In this eye-opening investigation, we follow the hard evidence to uncover the true origin of Muhammad in early Islamic history. By examining ancient coins, rock inscriptions, Qur’an manuscripts, and non-Islamic historical sources, this video challenges the traditional narrative and asks difficult but necessary questions. Was “Muhammad” originally a personal name—or a title? Why do early inscriptions and coins feature crosses, Greek text, and anti-Trinitarian theology? And why is there a striking silence about Islam and Mecca in the earliest records? This presentation traces how Islam appears to emerge gradually out of late antique Christian theological conflicts, not overnight. Whether you’re...

A federal appeals court in San Francisco granted a stay allowing the government to proceed with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order freezing a lower court ruling that would have vacated Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to end the protections.

It’s all backstage now. This fraught moment, the power centers locked in the coldest cold of the year, the Spanish language lessons of Bad Bunny behind us, all the real action in the battle to save the country is out of sight, moiling and churning in the deep background. Everybody’s on edge waiting for shoes to drop, praying they don’t drop on their heads. You should have seen Senator Mark Warner (D-VA; Vice-chair of the Senate Intel Committee) on Face the Nation Sunday, frothing at the mouth over Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence (DNI). He cannot believe she turned...

“I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6) Dear Abba Father, What a marvelous Father You are! Loving King and merciful Judge, You are powerful and capable of totally wiping out all evil in this rebellious world with just the Truthful sword Your Word, yet amazingly You hold back for Your children's sake, and for the lost You patiently wait for them to cry out Your Name! Full of grace, You grant all chance upon chance to repent of sin and come to You for redemption. We live in a dying world full of rebellion, delusion,...

More migrants have crossed the Channel on small boats under Sir Keir Starmer than any other prime minister. Some 65,922 migrants have reached the UK across the Channel since Labour won the election 19 months ago at an average rate of 790 a week. Three boats carrying 219 migrants crossed the Channel in small boats on Sunday with more dinghies attempting to reach the UK on Monday. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said the numbers were a result of Sir Keir scrapping the Rwanda scheme. He added: “This is a catastrophic failure by weak Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and...

Time for Ozempic to walk the plank? Top dietitians in Australia this week are waving a red flag about an unforeseen impact of the GLP-1 class of weight-loss drugs, including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. In a new systematic review of existing research, led by professor Clare Collins of the Newcastle School of Health Sciences in New South Wales, Australia, it appears that very few global trials of the drugs have taken into consideration what and how much patients are eating while using them. This, experts have said, means many patients have been functionally malnourished — sometimes developing serious vitamin deficiencies...

The Daily Wire’s own Megan Basham shared screenshots of some of Bad Bunny’s lyrics in an X post, most of which were graphic depictions of body parts, sex acts, drug use, and drug use during sex acts. “These are the most obscene lyrics ever to be performed at a Super Bowl half time. And you have professing Christians in the Kentucky senate and at America’s most recognized evangelical magazine saying Christians should have embraced and celebrated this to show love and to show that we are welcoming. Also, the kids would get a ‘kick’ out of hearing this Spanish,” Basham...

"You can't say the f-word on live TV...Had he said these lyrics – and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous."

The U.S. attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, said a federal judge should dismiss Bannon’s indictment “in the interests of justice.”The Justice Department is taking steps to throw out Stephen K. Bannon’s conviction for defying a congressional subpoena about the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, its latest shift in a legal position to benefit a close ally of President Donald Trump. In a Monday legal filing, the department asked the Supreme Court to send Bannon’s case back to the district court, where the U.S. attorney filed a separate motion seeking to dismiss the charges against him. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche characterized...

The Democratic Socialists of America LA chapter has released a 40-page, 9,000-word manifesto that lays out an aggressive, six-to-eight-year plan to seize control of the nation’s second-largest city and impose full-blown socialism In what can only be described as a chilling blueprint for economic destruction and social chaos (see below), the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Los Angeles chapter has released a 40-page, 9,000-word manifesto that lays out an aggressive, six-to-eight-year plan to seize control of the nation’s second-largest city and impose full-blown socialism. This radical document, published in 2025, doesn’t mince words: Los Angeles is “on the burning edge...

“U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote, posting on social media. However, unlike Hess and a few other American athletes, hockey stars Brady and Matthew Tkachuk had a different perspective on competing for Team USA. “I mean, this is able to represent the U.S. at this stage in the Olympics is one of the greatest...

A Super Bowl Sunday meltdown over Bad Bunny turned into a viral win for a Florida bar that refused to cave to an entitled customer armed with a camera and an accusation. At Zoo Sports Club in St. Petersburg, Florida, TVs were rolling during halftime—but not with what one furious patron demanded. Instead of catering to his personal playlist, the bar opted to air the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) halftime programming, a conservative alternative that clearly struck a nerve. The customer immediately made it clear this wasn’t just about football. “I came here for the halftime show. The whole experience,”...

They're just messing with us now. From the Epstein files: STATEMENT OF MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY ON THE DEATH OF DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Today's events are disturbing..." I'll say. For one thing, the statement is dated Friday August 9th 2019, and Mr Epstein was not "found unresponsive in his cell" until Saturday August 10th. Had the...

There are many drivers behind the new nullification crisis that the left is stoking over immigration, but perhaps the most significant political one is that the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy poses a greater threat to Democrat Party power than perhaps any other single initiative. If federal authorities were to successfully remove millions of illegal aliens from the country, some estimates suggest it would result in the reallocation of nearly a dozen House seats and electoral college votes. Billions of dollars in taxpayer funding would be redirected out of blue states and into red ones. That is because the census...

A South Korean governor has sparked outrage after he proposed “importing Sri Lankan and Vietnamese virgins” to help stem the population decline in provincial areas. “We should impose special measures such as importing Sri Lankan and Vietnamese virgins and marrying them to rural bachelors,” he said. South Korea has the lowest birth rate in the world, the BBC reported last August. The government has been trying to reverse the trend in the rural areas.
