At a secret Feb. 11 Situation Room meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a four-part pitch for regime change, including a video montage of potential replacement leaders such as Reza Pahlavi. JD Vance was absent, stuck in Azerbaijan. Appearing alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and military officials, Netanyahu argued: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in weeks. The regime would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz. Street protests — fomented with Mossad help — could trigger an uprising. Kurdish fighters from Iraq could open a ground front in the northwest. Trump’s response: “Sounds good to...

Democratic strategist James Carville got blunt about why the Democratic Party remains unpopular on Monday, telling MS NOW host Ari Melber it was because they haven't won elections. Melber noted polling published this month by CNN/SSRS that found just 28% of Americans have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, compared to 32% who have a favorable view of the Republican Party. Melber asked Carville whether this was troubling as the party looks to take back Congress in November. "No," Carville responded. "The reason that people don't like the Democratic Party is the same reason I don't like it right...

Speaking in Hungary, US Vice President JD Vance reaffirmed that the US objectives in the Middle East had been completed.

The UK Times reported on Monday that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is “incapacitated and receiving medical treatment in the holy city of Qom.” The Times report was based on “a diplomatic memo understood to be based on American and Israeli intelligence and shared with Gulf allies.” The memo said Khamenei is suffering from a “severe condition” and is “unable to be involved in any decision making by the regime.” Qom is a provincial capital and one of the largest cities in Iran, located about 85 miles south of Tehran. The city has historic and religious significance to the...

CNN right before we hit Iran's nuclear bfacilities last year: There is no need for this. Iran isn't close to having a nuclear weapon. CNN immediately after last year's strike: The mission failed, Iran is closer than ever to having a nuclear weapon. CNN right before we hit Iran this year: There is no need for this. Iran isn't close to having a nuclear weapon. Spoiler alert. This is how Democrats/MSM will be, with everything, for the next three years. It's exactly how they were on everything Trump did during his first five years.

One popular theory about the location of the Battle of Badon is that it took place at Liddington Castle. Does the evidence really support this theory? Caleb Howells examines the geographical and archaeological evidence surrounding Liddington Castle as a potential location for this historic clash. By analyzing place-name etymology and existing scholarly arguments, the investigation weighs the strategic suitability of the site against the lack of physical habitation remains from the period and conflicting traditional accounts.

In a similar vein, studies have repeatedly found that conservatives—both politicians and laymen—tend to be more conventionally attractive than liberals (and have better sex lives). Moreover, people who are healthier in childhood have been shown to be more likely to become conservative as adults. Meanwhile, people with high measured cognitive ability are also more likely to support economic conservatism (and cultural liberalism).

Daily Readings from the USCCBThat very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. Luke 24:13–16Why were these two disciples prevented from recognizing Jesus when He appeared to them on Easter Sunday? Earlier that morning, as Luke recounts (Luke 24:1–12), Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary—the mother of James—and other unnamed...

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matt. 5:4). Sin is a serious issue with God. He never winks at it or takes it lightly. Satan desires to desensitize Christians to the heinousness of sin. He wants you to stop mourning over sin and start enjoying it. Impossible? Many who once thought so have fallen prey to its power. It usually doesn't happen all at once. In fact, the process can be slow and subtle— almost imperceptible. But the results are always tragic. How can you remain alert to the dangers of sin and protect yourself from...

News of the temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran immediately sent oil prices tumbling. Within minutes of President Donald Trump announcing an agreement had been reached, crude oil prices had fallen below the $100 mark. About an hour after the announcement, the price of oil had dipped all the way into the $91/barrel range before working its way back up. As of 9 p.m., crude oil was trading around $97/barrel, which was still a $20 drop from its intraday-high. The big question that will be on the minds of drivers will be whether this decline, if it holds...

The American Jewish Committee wrote in a post on X/Twitter that while it “shares the objectives” of Trump’s war with Iran, it was “alarmed” by the president’s social media posts, adding that the Iranian people “deserve a future defined by dignity, opportunity, and greater integration with the global community.” Amy Spitalnick, the CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, condemned the president’s remarks, saying in a statement that there were “simply no words to describe the danger of a US president openly threatening to erase an entire civilization.” She alluded to Jews’ history of facing genocidal leaders in her...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age...

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to testify before the US congress in June about his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, lawmakers have confirmed. The billionaire philanthropist is the latest high-profile figure to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee investigating Epstein's wrongdoing.

Imagine sitting down for dinner in first-century Galilee without a fork or a fast-food burger in sight. You would likely be dipping crusty barley bread into a bowl of savory lentil stew. (Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of red lentil stew...) Life was much slower then, revolving around the seasons and the harvest for basic survival. Food was fuel, but it was also the center of community and deep religious celebration. Sharing a meal meant sharing your life with neighbors and family members in a very real way. Let’s look at what was actually on the menu for...
