The socialist (let's be honest, communist) Libre Party candidate Rixi Moncada is a distant 3rd with 618,448 votes. The current president Xiomara Castro is from the Libre Party and under the Honduran Constitution, cannot run...

At first glance, Mike Waltz’s visit to Israel this week may look like a new UN ambassador’s routine orientation tour – a series of meetings, border briefings, and handshakes meant to signal continuity. But nothing about the timing or the choreography of this particular visit suggests anything routine. Waltz’s first major foreign trip since taking office is not just a symbolic gesture. It is the operational rollout of the Trump administration’s Gaza plan, carried out under the umbrella of UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which the US drafted and pushed through. And the visit comes just days after the UN...

Israeli operatives are conducting widespread surveillance of US forces and allies stationed at a new US base in the country’s south, according to sources briefed on disputes about open and covert recordings of meetings and discussions. The scale of intelligence gathering at the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) prompted the US commander of the base, Lt Gen Patrick Frank, to summon an Israeli counterpart for a meeting to tell him that “recording has to stop here”. Staff and visitors from other countries have also raised concerns about Israel recording inside the CMCC. Some have been told to avoid sharing sensitive information...

ISRAELI SOLDIERS TESTIFY WE WERE ORDERED TO 'STAND DOWN' HOURS BEFORE OCT. 7 "We received orders on Oct. 7 to cancel all patrols along the Gaza border from 5.20 a.m. till 9.00 a.m"

The more I look at evangelical support for Israel today, the more I’m convinced it’s no longer driven mainly by doctrine… A lot of evangelicals I spend time with talk about feeling unmoored in American life. Institutions they once trusted don’t feel as reliable. Moral assumptions they took for granted now feel contested every time they turn on the news. In that kind of atmosphere, people reach for something that seems steady. For many evangelicals, Israel has taken on that role. It’s not just another nation-state; it’s proof—tangible, visible—that the biblical story they’ve staked their lives on still has real-world...

U.S. podcaster Tucker Carlson announced that he plans to buy a home in the Qatari capital of Doha during an interview with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani yesterday (Sunday). Carlson stated that the purchase is being made in response to accusations that he has been paid off by the Qatari government for his recent praise of Qatar, defense of Sharia law and Islamist terrorist organizations, and hatred for the State of Israel. “I’ve never taken anything from your country and don’t plan to,” Carlson said. “I’m an American and a free man, and I’ll...

The following is an excerpt from a book translated into English: Arbel, Tobi. The Story of Muhammad Abu Sarari (Heb.). Israel, Ra'anana: Docostory, 2000. link From the events of '36, I have a childhood memory. Then the gangs were active and terrorized the Jews. The one who organized them was Hassan Salama. The gang members wanted to cause harm to the Jews who bought agricultural goods from the Arabs. They would lie in wait in the wadis and on the roads for Arab merchants who smuggled vegetables and fruit to the Hatikva market. If they caught the smugglers, they would...

One of the more bizarre artifacts of the Israel-Hamas War—which Hamas started just over two years ago, when it attacked, murdered, and kidnapped more than 1,000 Israeli civilians—is the exposure of the rabid and rampant antisemitism among the Irish, especially Irish Catholics. One might expect that Catholics—whose popes have denounced antisemitism off and on since the sixth century and have clearly and repeatedly condemned it since the 1930s—would be understanding of the Jewish people’s plight and willing to listen to Pope Pius XI’s admonition that “Antisemitism is inadmissible. Spiritually, we are all Semites.” In the case of many Irish Catholics,...

As we continue to focus on the many different events which will ultimately find their fulfilment in God’s prophetic program, one of the most dramatic changes facing the world is the end of Gentile domination. You see, at this moment, the world is still in a period referred to as “the times of the Gentiles.” However, this period does have an expiration date. The phrase “the times of the Gentiles” is used by Jesus as recorded in Luke 21:24: “And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will...

Outgoing New York City New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed two executive orders Wednesday aimed at countering antisemitism and preventing city funds from supporting the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The New York Post reported that Adams barred city business or pension investment decisions that discriminate against Israel, a move that could be viewed as a challenge to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who supports the BDS movement. While speaking at a conference in New Orleans sponsored by the North American Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism, Adams said his administration “recognizes the benefit of maintaining a strong relationship between the...
