Last week was interesting for anyone concerned about Islam’s growing influence in America. Recently revealed were the 2009 remarks made by Michigan US Senate nominee, Democrat and avowed Muslim, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. He reportedly shared that, while in medical school, he chose to obtain a loan that was compliant with Islamic law—Sharia. In fact, he proclaimed that, as a Muslim, he would always follow Sharia in “everything” he ever sought to do. Some may dismiss these remarks, made 17 years ago, as those of a man simply dedicated deeply to his religion—one he embraces totally separate from his political views...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (8/18/26)[Prayer]Personalities2 Samuel 5:17-25 David Defeats the Philistines 17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold. 18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; 19 so David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The Lord answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.” 20 So David...

“The future is ours. Every ideal nightmare of a Muslim Europe will come true” ============================================================ MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK..................... How did we get to the point where the UK and Canada take a tougher line on these horrifying Islamic Supremacist views than we do? The UK banned Uthman ibn Farooq. Yvette Cooper has been urged to block a UK tour by an Islamist preacher who claims it is lawful to have sex with female slaves captured in war. Also Farooq has other wonderful views. Mr Farooq previously visited the UK last month and previously said Europe, the US and Russia...

There is only so much capacity in space for objects; a cleanup is critical and overdue. Satellites bring to mind images of shiny, angular objects orbiting Earth at tremendous speed through the boundless emptiness of space. Yet the orbits are no longer empty. Besides traffic, they are teeming with debris from spacecraft breaking up because of age, explosions, or collisions. Orbital debris has doubled over the past decade. As of 2026, about 1.2 million objects measuring 1–10 cm are in orbit. Traveling at speeds of 7–8 km per second—10 times that of a bullet and 4–5 times that of the...

Sebastien Lecornu visited Le Porge in the Gironde region on Monday for a meeting with the mayor after it was devastated by wildfires and 183 homes burned down in late July to August. But residents jeered, whistled and yelled anti-government slogans at the French leader after feeling dissatisfied by the government's response to the disaster. The furious locals claim firefighters prioritised saving the upscale Cap-Ferret peninsula - where many affluent Parisians take holidays - over protecting the homes of locals. Lecornu's office said he had spoken with affected residents and farmers. 'We have absolutely nothing to hide regarding how fire...

In a recent opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, CDC Principal Deputy Director Ralph Abraham argued that “framing measles as an American policy failure is inaccurate and misleading,” asserting that resources including vaccines and therapeutics have been surging nationwide and that the current measles situation reflects broader global trends rather than a uniquely domestic policy breakdown. Citing a recent Measles, Mortality Weekly Report article, Abraham hinted that something else was failing. He fell short of mentioning waning immunity or vaccine failure. The fact that 44.4 percent of secondary measles cases in the Colorado outbreak occurred in individuals who had...

California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra has claimed he will slash people’s utility bills by granting two hours of free electricity per day — a plan his rival has blasted as “disqualifyingly stupid.” The Democrat unveiled his new policy pitch on Tuesday to give the handout to lower-income families, though he failed to lay out how it would be designed or funded. The so-called “power hour” plan comes as Californians struggle with the state’s increasingly high cost of living. Part of that crisis includes skyrocketing energy bills, which his opponent, Republican Steve Hilton, has also targeted. Californians have seen their energy...

"Love . . . is not arrogant" (1 Cor. 13:4). Love is the key to effective ministry. In 1 Corinthians 13:4 Paul says, "Love does not brag and is not arrogant." We often equate bragging and arrogance, but in this passage there is a subtle difference. The Greek word translated "brag" emphasizes prideful speech or actions; "arrogant" emphasizes the attitude of pride motivating those actions. The prideful attitudes of the Corinthians were evident in several areas. In 1 Corinthians 4:18-21 Paul says, "Some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. But I will come to you...

Don’t believe the Democratic National Committee’s official storyline: The DNC’s decision to make South Carolina the first Democratic presidential primary in 2028 isn’t about introducing more racial diversity into the early contests. It’s actually about keeping power in the hands of the party establishment — the people who backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, and who are likely to wind up supporting Kamala Harris in 2028. The fix is in. South Carolina was the establishment’s firewall against Bernie Sanders’ left-wing insurgency twice over. In 2016, Sanders nearly beat Hillary Clinton in the first caucus, in Iowa,...

A longtime aide to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has joined Democrat James Talarico’s Senate campaign as he tries to defeat Republican nominee Ken Paxton in Texas. Jacob Smith, who spent five years working for Cornyn as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is now serving as Talarico’s deputy policy director, according to NOTUS. “I’ve worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I’m proud to be joining James Talarico’s campaign,” Smith said in a statement released by the campaign. Smith said Talarico focuses on issues affecting working Texans rather than partisan politics and argued the...

WASHINGTON — GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson and Dem Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have teamed up for a rare bipartisan rebuke of a Florida Republican pol who spewed vile antisemitic rhetoric against his primary foe. Wannabe House member Daniel Bilzerian rolled out a disturbing ad last week attacking fellow Republican and incumbent Rep Randy Fine as a “fat Jew,” “Shylock” and “satanic whore” and suggesting whether it was worth revisiting Adolf Hitler’s "opinions"

Thanks to “criminal-justice reform,” you can rack up almost 150 arrests in this town and still get to walk when caught again. Meet career crook Shaquan Seth, cut loose last week after five, count ’em five, shoplifting busts in Queens — less than six days after he got out of Rikers after a five-month stint for previous thievery — because New York law forbids cash bail for offenses like Seth’s. No matter that he was no sooner back on the streets than he was eagerly reoffending, nor that he stole $600 worth of fancy candles, when the no-bail believers insist...

Portland, Oregon, mother Allison Roberts filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Portland Public Schools and her children’s elementary school after allegedly facing retaliation over her opposition to their gender curriculum. According to the Liberty Justice Center, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of Roberts, she initially expressed concern last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School’s decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag into an “Intersex-Inclusive Progress” variant to include support for racial and transgender ideology. Though Roberts supported “being immersed” in Portland’s gay community, she felt that the new flag was “an overtly political symbol that promotes values contradictory...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Matthew 19:23–25In light of today’s Gospel, do you want to be rich? Most people do. The thought of buying a big, beautiful home (or...
