Trump Gives Saudi Arabia Ultimatum Before He Signs Major Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump made it crystal clear to Saudi Arabia on Thursday: if the kingdom wants a blockbuster U.S. civilian nuclear package, it has to put its signature on the historic Abraham Accords.

Trump’s ultimatum came after a groundbreaking 30-year Section 123 Agreement signed between U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman. The deal lays out a blueprint for American energy giants, such as Westinghouse, to go to the Middle East and export reactors, high-tech engineering, and scientific expertise to help Riyadh move away from oil so it can power its AI data center explosion.

Abraham Lincoln Warned Us About The DSA

In an 1838 speech entitled “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions,” Abraham Lincoln warned that if America were ever to fall, it would come as a result of internal decay rather than foreign conquest. “If destruction be our lot,” he said, “we must ourselves be its author and finisher.” Little did he know how prescient his remarks would prove to be, and the heroic and tragic role he would play in unfolding events.

While the crucible Lincoln led America through was unique in its scope and consequences, every generation must be alert to the dangers of internal decay. In ours, the battle is being fought on two fronts.

‘Queer is God’s design’? Allie Beth Stuckey calls pastor’s sermon on LGBTQ ‘blasphemy’

Patrick Preacher is the “pastor for queer ministry” at Trinity Lutheran Church (ELCA) — and what he preaches is as bad as his title sounds.

“This particular pastor says that hell doesn’t really exist as a physical place except for the manifestation of anti-LGBTQ discrimination here in America. That that is actually what makes hell,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says, before playing a clip of the pastor.

“Who had the nerve to tell you, or any of us, or this world for that matter, that being queer makes for an awful person?” Preacher asked during a sermon.

Ancient Beams Offer New Evidence of the First Temple’s Destruction

Biblical archaeology has always fascinated me. It’s interesting to see the findings that archaeologists come up with, particularly when the digs turn up evidence that bolsters the veracity of biblical accounts.

A recent find has scholars taking a look at the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:17-21 gives us that account:

Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand. And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. And they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels.

Genocide: Nearly 30,000 Nigerian Christians Killed in 6 Years

There is no genocide in Gaza, but Nigeria is certainly the scene of genocide. But because the victims of the real genocide are Christians, much of the West does not care.

President Donald Trump has occasionally conducted strikes against Islamic terrorists in Nigeria, but those are rare instances of a Western leader paying any meaningful attention to the decade-long slaughter in the Jihad-plagued country. While any strike on terrorists in Gaza always elicits street protests and politician statements from across Europe and the Americas, the erasure of Christian populations in Nigeria, Syria, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other African and Asian nations garners little to no attention.

Crafting A False Narrative: The Accusation Of Israeli ‘Occupation’ Is Based On A Deceitful Premise

Propaganda is like a weed; it grows slowly and can become very invasive, to the point of choking the truth into oblivion. The main goal of propaganda is to promote and spread lies about any person, event, or topic to destroy their reputation and lead gullible people to commit words or actions against them. Josef Goebbels was Nazi Germany’s Minister of Propaganda. Nobody can forget the scope and reach of his campaigns. Propaganda is devious and patient like the proverbial “frog in the pot.” Israel is that proverbial frog, and it continues to be boiled in the pot of unfounded antisemitic and anti-zionist accusations.

Macron’s ‘Promise:’ France Approves Assisted Dying Bill

After years of debates and back-and-forth rejections, French lawmakers on Wednesday voted to adopt a bill for the implementation of assisted dying — a years-long “promise” made by President Emmanuel Macron.

The implementation of an “assisted dying” law and the legalization of euthanasia in France has been a long-going fixation in the European nation. Prior to Wednesday’s approval, the assisted dying bill had passed three times at the National Assembly, only to be rejected by the Senate an equal amount of times — with the most recent rejection having taken place last week.

The Government Isn’t Coming to Save You: Britons to be Told to Stockpile Food, Water, Over Russian ‘Hybrid Threat’

The British government will revitalise decades-old war plans, nudge the public to stockpile food and water, and host a wargame exercise to test its home defence strategy, it has been announced.

Britons will be advised to keep a home stockpile of long-life food, bottled water, and essential medicines when the government launches a new resilience drive later this year. Coming as part of a broader series of updates to homeland defence — which has been all but ignored in many respects since the end of the Cold War — the push was justified in part by Westminster as a response to what they identified as a threat from Russian “hybrid attacks”.

Chinese Communists Step Up Persecution of Underground Church and Its Priests

The genocidal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to turn up the heat on underground churches and is trying to stamp out all authentic faith among Catholics in China, according to a new analysis.

While the CCP just released Zion Church pastor Ezra Jin as a show of caring about President Donald Trump’s comments on Christian persecution, that doesn’t mean domestic persecution in China is not intensifying. Steven W. Mosher, President of the Population Research Institute and author of The Devil and Communist China, particularly highlighted the regime campaign to crush Catholicism in a July 15 press release that the institute shared with PJ Media. And he paints a graphic picture of modern-day tyrannical oppression for those who profess Christ.

State of emergency in Missouri declared after once-in-a-Millennium rainfall causes catastrophic flooding

Relentless thunderstorms have unleashed devastating flooding across parts of southeastern Missouri, prompting Governor Mike Kehoe to declare a state of emergency as rivers swelled to historic levels and rescue operations intensified.

Heavy downpours dumped between six and 12 inches of rain overnight into Friday, overwhelming the Black River and surrounding areas in counties including Reynolds and Crawford.
