The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

[Amir Tsarfati @beholdisrael]

I believe the hostility toward Israel and the Jewish people that we are witnessing today - even among people who identify as Christians and politically conservative - is the result of several things coming together at the same time.

First, we have witnessed an extraordinarily effective information and influence campaign on social media, particularly among younger generations. Platforms such as TikTok have allowed emotionally charged, historically distorted, and sometimes completely false narratives about Israel to spread at enormous speed.

Complex history has been reduced to slogans. Images are stripped of context. Lies are repeated until they are accepted as facts. And an entire generation that often knows very little about the Bible, Jewish history, or the history of the Middle East is being discipled by an algorithm.

Then came the podcasters and influencers.

Once well-known and trusted voices began repeating some of these narratives, they gave them a stamp of approval. Ideas and accusations that would once have been immediately recognized as antisemitic, conspiratorial, or historically false suddenly became acceptable in circles where they previously would have been rejected.

And then political forces recognized an opportunity.

Politicians, governments, and movements discovered that hostility toward Israel could generate attention, followers, votes, and political support. Israel became an easy target because attacking it carries enormous political currency in certain constituencies.

But as a Bible believer, I believe there is something much deeper behind all of this.

Above all of it, I believe we are witnessing a dark spiritual cloud gathering around Israel and the Jewish people.

The Bible tells us that behind what we see taking place in the physical world there is also a spiritual battle:

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Ephesians 6:12

This is why I don’t believe we can explain what is happening merely through politics.

How do people who claim to believe the Bible suddenly embrace ideas that fundamentally contradict what their own Bible teaches concerning Israel and the Jewish people?

How do people who call themselves Christians find themselves repeating some of the same accusations against the Jewish people that have followed them for centuries?

A major part of the answer is biblical illiteracy, bad teaching, and complete ignorance concerning God’s purposes for Israel.

For generations, many Christians have not been taught the whole counsel of God concerning Israel. Some have been taught, directly or indirectly, that God is finished with Israel, that the church has replaced Israel, and that the promises God made to the Jewish people have somehow been transferred to someone else.

Yet Paul could not have been clearer:

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”

Romans 11:29

And God Himself said:

“For I am the LORD, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”

Malachi 3:6

Political conservatism is no protection against biblical ignorance.

Calling yourself a Christian is no substitute for knowing the Word of God.

If your worldview is being formed more by TikTok, your favorite podcaster, or your political movement than by Scripture, eventually you can find yourself opposing the very things God says He will accomplish.

And this brings me to something I believe is extremely important:

Israel is a test - and many are failing it.

Throughout Scripture, God reveals what is in the hearts of individuals and nations by how they respond to what belongs to Him - His Word, His purposes, His people, and His land.

I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we have come to accept in the West.

It’s a crying shame that traditional media like YOU don’t recognize this!”

🚨 HAPPENING NOW in Sacramento: Protest against the California Energy Commission’s absurd tire ban.

People are finally WAKING UP! Enough of the bureaucratic nonsense driving up costs!

[Sherri™ @FFT1776]

NC Senator Ted Budd GAVELED in today's Pro Forma session.

Ted Budd!! YOU TOO?

A senator with one of the strongest conservative records in Congress just took his turn with the pro forma gavel BLOCKING TRUMP’s RECESS APPOINTMENTS!

We didn’t elect Republicans to take turns keeping an empty chamber technically ‘open’ blocking the President we voted for.

He is up for re-election in 2028.

We need an active campaign in NC to Primary him. This is BS!

🚨 JUST IN: Nick Shirley is holding an anti-fraud protest at the CALIFORNIA CAPITOL after Democrats passed the Stop Nick Shirley Act and sent it to Gov. Newsom

The bill will bring criminal penalties if he EXPOSES fraudsters to their faces, especially immigrant spots 😠

"On August 26 be at the Capitol in Sacramento." 🔥

This bill was spearheaded by none other than CA AG Rob Bonta's WIFE, Mia!

SHIRLEY IN MAY: "They need these communities for VOTES, or they need them to continue pushing their agenda."

"Why not just all support services, why specifically immigration support services [are protected?]"

"It's because they need these groups and they need the money to eventually funnel back into whatever agenda they want to continue to push. That's why they're creating this bill!" @nickshirleyy

[Mark Cook @PatriotMarkCook]

Do you all see why it's far worse than "illegals voting"?

The entire system is IRREDEEMABLY COMPRIMISED.

There is no patch. Full stop and return to the people is what must be done.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

The U.S. again showing courage when other European nations and institutions fail.

The U.S. ambassador to Belgium has released a statement condemning @ugent for suspending its American academic for his whistleblower reporting on Jason Arday’s fraud. Leftist mobs have been calling for @nathancofnas to be severely punished for exposing their DEI fraud.

[Dan Scavino @Scavino47]

An anonymous source insists that what they heard from two other anonymous sources is 100% factually true—because one anonymous sources in the West Wing was told the exact same thing by two more anonymous sources at Cafe Milano, who also heard it. So yes, we are writing this bullshit story full of lies, and we’re sticking to it. We’re going with the piece that rests on a grand total of six anonymous sources, while ignoring the eight Cabinet members who gave us statements on the record. I can’t imagine why the American people keep calling us Fake News🤷🏻‍♂️!

🚨 EMERGENCY UPDATE — CALIFORNIA ELECTION INTEGRITY

This morning, Joe Hoft published my investigation into Alex Padilla, Xavier Becerra, VoteCal, Motor Voter, Riverside, and California's missing election-security record.

But the story moved again before the article was even published.

Yesterday, Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff sent Secretary of State Shirley Weber a letter demanding “maximum oversight” in Shasta County after Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis said he wanted FBI and DHS assistance testing ballots for authenticity.

https://t.co/WN0w95dhnv

And look at the cast of characters now:

Alex Padilla — former California Secretary of State who certified VoteCal and is now demanding state oversight of access to Shasta election materials.

Adam Schiff — joined Padilla in demanding that oversight.

Shirley Weber — California Secretary of State being asked to intervene.

Clint Curtis — Shasta County Registrar of Voters seeking authentication of ballots he says warrant examination.

Riverside County — specifically cited by Padilla and Schiff, where Sheriff Chad Bianco's seizure of election materials has already produced a major legal fight.

Xavier Becerra — former California Attorney General whose signed 2018 election-security warning is at the center of my investigation—and who is now asking Californians to elect him governor in November.

And then there is something readers didn't know when this morning's article went live:

I was brought into discussions involving Clint Curtis beginning June 9, just seven days after the California primary. I still have the contemporaneous messages.

I am now going back through those records.

This investigation is no longer only about what California officials knew years ago.

It is about who can examine California's election evidence today, who controls access to it, and why those questions are exploding months before Californians choose their next governor.

The article published this morning. The story is already moving.

More coming.

🚨IF REPUBLICANS LOSE TEXAS, THEY’RE NOT JUST LOSING A SENATE SEAT … THEY’RE WATCHING THE POLITICAL MAP BEGIN TO BREAK UNDER THEIR FEET.

This is the race Republicans cannot afford to shrug off.

Texas has 40 electoral votes.

For decades, it has been one of the most important Republican strongholds in America. The last Democrat to win a U.S. Senate election in Texas was Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.

Now James Talarico and Ken Paxton are locked in a race close enough that Republicans should be sounding every alarm in the building.

Recent polling has shown them neck-and-neck, with Talarico leading in some polls. The Cook Political Report has now moved the Texas Senate race to TOSS-UP.

Think about what that means.

If Democrats prove they can win a statewide Senate race in Texas, the consequences reach far beyond one Senate seat.

It tells them Texas is truly in play.

And if Texas ever starts voting Democratic at the presidential level, the Electoral College map changes dramatically.

California.
New York.
Illinois.
Texas.

Together, those four states currently represent 136 electoral votes.

That would force Republicans to fight an increasingly unforgiving electoral map every four years.

And then there’s the MONEY and institutional power.

Democrats already draw enormous political and cultural support from some of the most powerful centers in America:

• Silicon Valley
• Wall Street
• Hollywood
• Big Tech
• Major foundations, universities and advocacy organizations

Now imagine adding a politically transformed Texas to that equation.

Money.
Institutions.
Electoral votes.
Federal power.

All increasingly pulling in the same direction.

That is how political power becomes self-reinforcing.

🔥Texas is not just another Senate race. It is a firewall.

And if Republicans allow that firewall to crack, we LOSE AMERICA.
