Things are connected.

If you reject that the children of Israel were a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a people rejected and yet redeemed, you reject by extension the greatest of all children of Israel, Jesus Himself.

If you reject the Jewish Messiah, Yahshua, you cannot understand the Torah or the basis of all scripture. Without the foundation stone, the cheif cornerstone, the Word made flesh, nothing in the Law and Prophets functions correctly in your philosophy or practice.

If you choose to demand that Jesus, the Messiah, commanded His disciples to violate the Law and to ignore the prophets ALL of whom taught the people to return to obedience to the Word of God delivered to Moses, you cannot understand the Kingdom of God.

To reject God’s Covenant People, God’s Law, God’s Land Covenant, God’s promise of an everlasting throne of David in Zion, or to reject the King of Kings, automatically means you have rejected the Kingdom of God. To reject one part is to reject it all.

To a believer in Christ, to a follower of scripture Zionism is not just a modern middle eastern political movement, Zionism is the Kingdom of God. An anti-Zionist is by nature an antichristian. It seems that scripture warned about that. Be cautious. Be wise. Be righteous. Be faithful.

One never knows when they could be living in their own later days.

“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” I Peter 2:6-8

⚡️ Trump just now from the Resolute Desk:

“It’s fully negotiated. They’ve agreed. We have to start signing a paper.”

“They should sign a deal.”

“It totally prohibits them forever having a nuclear weapon.”

“It was just tap, tap, tap.”

“We hit them hard yesterday, and we’re gonna hit them again hard today.”

That is coercive signature extraction.

The deal exists at the substance layer.

The fight is now over signing, meaning, humiliation, and enforcement. He is using strikes to end the delay.

The “bridges and power plants” line is the pressure ladder. He is deliberately refusing to rule out state-function infrastructure. That tells Iran the next rung is not more radar sites. The next rung makes the state itself feel pain. But note that he refuses to say rather than announces. The threat is the tool. Actually firing it would be a darker phase.

This is why Vance can sell a durable long-term deal while Trump talks about breaking Iran’s face. Those are not separate strategies. They are a two-voice pressure stack.

Vance: the deal is real and long-term.

Trump: sign it or the pain expands.

Qatar and Pakistan: the bridge.

The strikes: the countdown.

Iran is almost certainly working the mediators for a last dignity path, so the regime can say it did not sign under naked humiliation. Trump is trying to deny them exactly that. He wants the record to read: Iran delayed, got hit, and then signed.

Current phase: coercive ratification under infrastructure-threat escalation. The deal path is alive, and the danger is real.

If he actually hits bridges, power, or water at scale, Iran’s need to answer rises materially, and the window this is all meant to force starts to burn.

The deal is no longer being negotiated in normal time.

The deal is being beaten into ceremony.

The signature is the object. The strikes are the clock. The humiliation is the wrapper. The remaining question is whether Iran accepts the paper before Trump moves from military degradation to state-infrastructure punishment.

@elonmusk Very true.

I believe in locally managed elections.

I believe most rural Washington Auditors are honest and hard working.

Neither of those two points keep me from recognizing the votervidentification system in WA has significant security risks and the possibility for fraudulent voter registration is high , ballot capture and manipulation, and the likelihood of non-WA citizens voting in our elections due to sloppy drivers license registration processes is very high.

WA voters are left-leaning, but that does not mean our elections are accurate representations of the citizen electorate reality.

This postal policy will be a step in the right direction, but it is not the final destination.

I looked into the U.S. Navy's Corsair drone boat that just rescued two American pilots in the Strait of Hormuz, and the engineering is remarkable.

Built by Texas-based Saronic Technologies, the Corsair is a 24-foot autonomous surface vessel powered by AI. It hits 40 mph, carries 1,000 pounds of payload, and can sail more than 1,000 miles without a human aboard. Each unit costs roughly $1 million to produce, which is a fraction of what comparable manned naval assets cost.

The platform runs on Saronic's autonomy stack, which fuses real-time sensor data, computer vision, and AI decision-making to navigate, identify targets, and execute mission objectives without remote piloting. It's part of the Navy's Task Force 59, the unit dedicated to AI-powered unmanned vessels operating in the Middle East.

Saronic stood this up in 12 months from prototype to production. The company is on track to build more than 20 vessels per year by 2027.

This is what American AI looks like in the field. 🇺🇸

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

I find it amusing that some people think Trump is just blissfully unaware about the upcoming midterms.

Meanwhile, in reality, Red states have been gaining seats by legally redrawing congressional maps.

Trump is about to sign the Secure America Act, which fully funds ICE/DHS throughout his term, which he has hinted will be involved in election security, a necessary precursor to the Save America Act and/or EO to secure elections.

Trump also planned for our operations in the Middle East to be concluded before the midterms, gas prices will be down, stock market will be up, and Trump will have all the positive optics.

Then there’s also Russia/Ukraine, which if he were to settle a deal between now and the midterms, would be a massive feather in his cap, and huge boost for GOP candidates.

Then there’s all the fraud investigations, criminal referrals for Walz/Ellison in Minnesota, treasonous conspiracy cases, etc., which could be used to damage the Dems’ optics leading up to the midterms. Any matter of exposure, declassification, or “October surprises” could be deployed.

My point is, Trump is setting himself up to be in prime position heading into November, and it’s not an accident. He is extremely aware about the midterms, and pieces are slowly moving into place. Combine all the positive optics with better congressional maps, election security, peace deals, etc., and the Dems are facing a historic bloodbath in November.

Timing is everything. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. Trust.

IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.

Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.

When @VP Vance led the way for the Most Wanted Fraudsters list through the @WhiteHouse @WHFraudTF – this was exactly the righteous goal the Task Force had in mind – to bring to justice all those who have stolen money from hardworking American taxpayers. This historic result is only the beginning - and let it be a message to any fraudster who takes advantage of America, this team will find you. @DAGToddBlanche @FBIMinneapolis

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

The straights of Hormuz are a tremendous strategic weakness for Iran. It’s relatively straightforward for the US (or any willing country) to keep Iran’s economic lifeblood bottled up at relatively low cost (and some benefit). Iran’s only meager short-term leverage expires in 5 months. The US tool box ranges from the gamut of military action to the gamut of economic action. Is there an Anwar Sadat in Iran? Not so far, but for the US to achieve its medium term strategic objectives there doesn’t have to be. The big picture is that the Iranian terrorist regime can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and that prospect is much less likely than it was a year ago and the US, Israel and the world as a whole are in a stronger position to make that happen. 🇺🇸

[AwakenedOutlaw⚒️ @AwakenedOutlaw]

Confirmed. Trump is putting Pulte in charge as the Acting DNI, fully aware that he'll eventually nominate someone to replace him 210 days later on January 15, 2027.

Translation: Bill is going to be free to work with Trump to F' some shit up in the interim, and in all the best ways possible. Better yet, there's NOTHING the Dems can do to stop him/them from getting what needs to be done, done.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! President Trump reveals the United States has been TAKING MILLIONS of barrels of oil at night during the Iran blockade

"I'm just announcing today for the first time. We've been taking MILLIONS of barrels of oil! Every night, we took out oil." 🔥

"Nobody knows about it. IRAN didn't know until right NOW! We took out 22 ships the other night, late at night with NO LIGHTS because they don't have radar, we blasted the crap out of it."

[Amber Smith @AmberSmithUSA]

My thoughts on the Apache that was shot down by Iran:

I cannot begin to explain how lucky that Apache crew was that was shot down. Yes, UXOs happen, but that is just part of the luck (especially since it was on fire!).

Apaches have a tandem cockpit, which means the pilots sit one in front of the other, like a fighter jet, rather than side by side like most helicopters.

The fact that the drone hit between the two pilots without actually hitting one of the pilots is just wild…there isn’t that much room for that not to happen.

Then, having to ditch in the Strait of Hormuz after a drone crashes into you and your helicopter is on fire with flames likely filling your line of sight. Sounds like they likely did power-on ditching procedures, but once they jettison the canopy and hit the water things happen fast. Helicopters roll when they hit the water and start to fill up with water. It’s very disorienting and the water is dark. You also still have to worry about the rotor blades.

When train for this. We refer to it as “dunker training.” But in the span of most standard Army pilots careers, they usually only complete the initial training, not the annual follow on training that is preferred.

The pilots were able to get out and find each other and wait in the water for two hours while a drone boat came and rescued them…. Technology that those pilots likely didn’t even know existed until it picked them up.

A lot of things that could have and likely should have gone wrong, didn’t. Things very easily could have ended much differently.

Very grateful those pilots are ok. 🇺🇸🙏

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

THERE IT IS!!!

I knew Trump was up to something!

He just confirmed that every night, the US MIL are taking “millions of barrels of oil” out of Iran, and he only revealed this because Iran figured it out.

Meaning, that the US MIL have been conducting covert operations during this ceasefire. That explains why Trump has seemingly been content with Iran stalling during negotiations. There was a purpose. We are taking the oil!

I wouldn’t be surprised if we are also already in the process of extracting the uranium. I wouldn’t be surprised if we just wake up one day, and Trump announces we have it.

So while it may seem like nothing is going on, and we are just in limbo, I can assure you, many things are in motion behind the scenes. Trump holds all the cards, and he is positioning himself to have massive momentum leading into the midterms. Gas will be down, stock market will be up, and MAGA will be surging.

@FBIDirectorKash @willchamberlain @FBI This is the way!

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

🚨 Early this morning, @FBI and partners arrested 7 individuals on a 10 count indictment for allegedly targeting University of Michigan leaders and businesses in the Eastern Michigan region with violent threats and attacks.

The indictment alleges that after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, these individuals - a group of college-aged adults - engaged in a coordinated campaign of violent, criminal acts seeking to pressure University of Michigan leaders and other businesses in the Eastern District of Michigan to cut off all ties with Israel.

The subjects allegedly vandalized the victims’ property, spray painted their homes with messages like “Intifada” and “Free Palestine,” left threatening notes on their doors, and even broke windows of the victims’ homes - throwing glass jars filled with chemicals while children slept inside.

They deliberately chose the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack to engage in some of their most visible criminal acts - including one subject who specifically targeted the Bloomfield Township Jewish Federation on October 7, 2024. On the same day, another subject - employed by the University - vandalized the University President’s home.

The alleged criminal targeting occurred for over a year - beginning approximately March 2024 and continuing until April 2025.

@FBIDetroit and our partners pursued a thorough, detailed investigation of this case - and subjects have been charged for their alleged role in conspiracies to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce.

@sarahsalviander Love this take!

[Sarah Salviander @sarahsalviander]

If you listen to what Spielberg actually says (as opposed to headlines), it's not unreasonable. He asks a pertinent question: Is our God the God of the entire universe or just our planet?

Judaism and Christianity were born out of a strongly pagan time and place, where people worshiped gods of tribes and nations. Then along comes Judaism and says there's just one God, the Creator of Earth and the entire universe, which must have been a profound shock.

Even more shocking, centuries later Jesus Christ, the Word - through whom the universe was created - enters our world to preach about the kingdom of heaven and how we are all intended to be brothers and sisters in Christ. No tribes, no nations in heaven. One kingdom ruled by Christ.

God is OUR God. Our God created the entire universe. He is the God of the universe, not just of the people of Earth.

What I find amusing, even in these dumbed-down and sensationalized headlines, is that anyone thinks Christians as a whole will question their faith if it turns out there's life elsewhere.

As Christians, we believe in an eternal, uncreated transcendent Being who spoke the universe into existence; we believe God has the capacity to enter our world in the flesh; we believe that a powerful unseen enemy rules our planet; we believe in angels and demons, and heavenly messengers who show up on earth and whose appearance is so other-worldly and terrifying that they have to tell people not to be afraid. We believe people can be possessed by evil spirits. We believe people can die and be resurrected. We believe we'll go to an entirely different place beyond the universe after we die; we believe we'll get new bodies on a brand-new Earth in a renewed universe.

Some people think we're crazy to believe all this outlandish stuff. They can think that if they want.

But does anyone really think we're going to be dismayed by little green men from Alpha Centauri?

When I talk about the economic impact of fraud in Blue cities this is what I’m talking about.

Democrat fraudsters don’t bury their money in the back yard. They spend and invest with their friends and to broadcast their success. Thousands of legitimate businesses have received benefit from this fraudulent largess.

Blue Urban socialists want you to think they are the foundation of success and economic vitality and that rural productive Republican voters are just poor, ignorant and backward “farmers and such”.

But the truth is your opulent urban economy is built upon illegal immigrant slave labor, rampant fraud taking advantage of government programs and NGOs often funded by illegal criminal and extra national terrorist networks.

The cities are built on fantasy, while rural economics is still founded on productive reality.

Reshoring American manufacturing and legitimate law enforcement is shattering the myth of Blue City Economic opulence. And that is why they are rioting.

Today’s story behind the numbers: This #FBI and justice for the California doctor who stiffed taxpayers for $45 million in one of the largest fraud schemes ever uncovered in the U.S.

Violetta Mailyan—owner of a beauty and cosmetic clinic in an L.A. suburb—spent years faking and fudging records for Botox injections that were never provided or not medically needed—fraudulently billing Medicare for shots when her clinic was closed, when she was out of town, and before some patients had contacted her, even once charging a patient in prison.

The fraudulent gains were spent on lavish vacations, multiple luxury vehicles, and more than $14 million in properties and equities.

Mailyan was arrested last October and convicted at trial last month. Supported by @FBILosAngeles, this case is yet another victory in the nationwide crackdown on fraud led by the White House that has delivered billions of dollars in recoveries and savings for the country.
