Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts

/7 Comments/in , , /by

An ex-member of the Fatah terrorist organization, who embraced Christianity in the early 1990s, has asserted that a considerable number of Muslims in Gaza are likely to forsake Islam in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas War, gravitating towards Christianity.

Speaking to Joel Rosenberg on the latest episode of the Rosenberg Report, which aired on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) over the weekend, Taysir “Tass” Abu Saada said that he predicts many Gazans will feel so hopeless, lost and lied to by Hamas after the war that they will abandon Islam and Hamas’s extremism for the teachings of the Bible.

“Hamas is an ideology that is spread among many people, not only in the Gaza Strip but all over the world,” Saada told Rosenberg. “However, God has a plan. And I believe the Arabs’ and the Jews’ plan is also part of that, and that is where my hope is.

“That is why I am back in the Holy Land, to move to the Gaza Strip and take part in rebuilding,” Saada continued. “I believe with all the destruction, with all that happened, with the hardship the Palestinians have gone through, they cannot sit back but will ask, ‘Why?’ . . .

The Christian convert said that he already has a team on the ground ministering to Gazans during the war, and these individuals are telling him that “the harvest is going to be huge.” (Read more from “Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts” HERE)

By Trying to Keep Trump off the Ballot, Democrats Are Staging a Coup in Broad Daylight

/4 Comments/in , /by

If it wasn’t obvious before now that the left will do anything to stop Donald Trump from winning a second term in the White House, the events of the last few days should leave no doubt in any American’s mind. Democrats, including President Biden, are prepared not only to rig the 2024 election in broad daylight but also to twist the U.S. Constitution and undermine the republic so they can hold on to power.

As most everyone knows by now, an infamous 4-3 majority of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that voters in their state will not be allowed to cast a ballot for Trump in next year’s presidential election. The court’s outlandish claim is that Trump is ineligible to appear on the ballot because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says candidates who have “engaged in insurrection” are prohibited from holding public office.

According to the court, which is dominated by left-wing ideologues appointed by Democrat governors (all the judges on the Colorado Supreme Court are Democrats, some are just more radical than others), Trump meets this definition because he “incited” a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Never mind that Trump has yet to be convicted of a crime associated with Jan. 6 (or any crime for that matter) or that the 14th Amendment doesn’t include the president or vice president in a list of offices to which its Section 3 provision applies. For the leftists on the Colorado Supreme Court, it’s enough to declare Trump an insurrectionist and viola! He’s off the ballot — all in the name of “defending democracy.”

David French called it a “bold, courageous decision,” but setting aside the constitutional/legal debate, consider what it means practically. About 1.4 million Coloradans voted for Trump in 2020. All those voters, if they want to vote for Trump again this time, have been disenfranchised by the court. That’s bad enough, but the left’s strategy here is larger than just one state. Before the ink was dry on the Colorado ruling, California Democrats leapt into action. The lieutenant governor, Eleni Kounalakis, sent a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber asking her to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.” . . .

But set aside the legal fight because it doesn’t matter to the left. For Biden and the Democrats, this isn’t really a question of what the Constitution does or doesn’t say. This is a question of power and how far they will go to keep it. From the politicized court ruling in Colorado to the four criminal indictments against Trump amounting to 91 felony charges to Biden’s statement last November that he’ll use the Constitution to ensure that Trump “will not take power” and will not “become the next president,” what we have amounts to an open conspiracy to rig the 2024 election by preventing voters from casting a ballot for the likely GOP nominee.

Putin: Russia ‘Will Never Back Down’ as Ukraine War Enters Third Year

/4 Comments/in , /by

As the approaching two-year mark of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine casts a somber shadow, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a New Year’s address vowing that Russia “will never back down.” In the face of mounting casualties and economic challenges fueled by Western sanctions, Putin aimed to reassure a war-weary nation with a resolute message.

In his address, Putin expressed confidence in Russia’s ability to overcome difficulties, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He asserted, “We will never back down because there is no such force that can divide us, make us forget the memory and faith of our fathers, or stop our development.” Describing Russia as one country and one big family, Putin emphasized unity as the key to the nation’s future strength and prosperity.

The New Year’s address coincided with alarming reports about the impact of the Ukraine war on the Russian military. The UK Ministry of Defence revealed a significant rise in the average daily number of Russian casualties in 2023. According to British intelligence assessments, if this trend continues, Russia could lose over half a million military personnel in the next year. Additionally, concerns were raised about the time needed for Russia to rebuild a well-trained and experienced military force, with predictions of a “low quality, high quantity mass army” in the interim.

The high casualty rate has led to rare protests in Russia, where mothers and wives have called for an end to the conscription of their loved ones. Despite these challenges, Putin appears to be in a stronger position than at the beginning of the year. He successfully navigated a rebellion attempt by Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and thwarted Ukraine’s much-anticipated “Spring counteroffensive.”

While Ukraine faces financial constraints, with funding from the U.S. and EU in limbo, Russia’s steadfastness in the conflict has led to a crisis of confidence among Ukraine’s Western financial backers. Despite war fatigue on both sides, there is little indication that either Russia or Ukraine is willing to back down.

These Are the Important Dates to Know for the Jam-Packed Election Year in 2024

/9 Comments/in , /by

The 2024 calendar will be chock-full of national and statewide races alongside a contentious presidential election coinciding with Donald Trump’s slate of trials amid his run for another term.

Presidential candidates, House and Senate hopefuls, gubernatorial nominees and others will face off on Nov. 5 after a busy year of party primaries and special elections. Additionally, the former president faces four trials following 2023 indictments related to alleged election interference, classified documents and hush money payments as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House.

Iowa’s caucus is the first nominating contest of the 2024 season on Jan. 15, followed by New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 23. Nevada is holding both a party primary and a state caucus within two days of each other on Feb. 6 and Feb. 8, respectively.

South Carolina’s primary is set for Feb. 24, and Michigan’s will take place three days later. . .

As a part of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC’s) new calendar, at the directive of Biden, South Carolina was moved up first for their party, pushing back both Iowa and New Hampshire. Iowa caved to the DNC, and will release their presidential preferences on March 5, while New Hampshire kept its late January date.

Former Obama Advisor Warns Democrats: Excluding Trump From Ballots a Mistake

/5 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama’s top adviser, David Axelrod, has raised concerns about the strategy some states are considering to keep former President Donald Trump off the primary ballots for the 2024 presidential election. Axelrod, known for his political insights, revealed to CNN on Friday that he harbored “very, very strong reservations” about such moves, highlighting the potential risks it could pose for the Democratic Party.

States like Maine and Colorado have taken steps to declare Trump “ineligible” to run for president in 2024, citing the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” clause in response to the events of January 6th, 2021. Axelrod expressed his worry, stating that preventing Trump from running could have severe consequences, possibly tearing the country apart.

“I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him,” Axelrod emphasized during the CNN interview.

Axelrod argued that attempting to exclude Trump from the 2024 primary ballot might play into the former president’s hands, as Trump had strategically set up his campaign to function as part of his legal defense.

The former Obama adviser noted that every attack Democrats had launched against Trump seemed to backfire, with the former president gaining support.

Brianne Pfannenstiel, chief political reporter at the Des Moines Register, echoed Axelrod’s concerns, emphasizing that attacks on Trump tended to strengthen his support, particularly among Republicans in states like Iowa.

“If he’s being attacked, Republicans in Iowa tend to gravitate even more closely to him… His support is only getting stronger here in Iowa,” Pfannenstiel said during a Sunday morning MSNBC show.

Here’s the Five Biggest Hunter Biden Stories of the Past Year

/4 Comments/in , /by

It’s been a turbulent year for Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s embattled son famous for his foreign business dealings and drug-fueled extravagance. . .

Hunter Biden’s troubles were supposed to be put to bed in July 2023 with a guilty plea deal for two tax misdemeanor offenses in Delaware and a pretrial diversion agreement for a single felony gun charge. But Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika took issue with a prosecutorial immunity provision contained in the diversion agreement when Biden appeared in court to finalize the guilty plea. . .

IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified to the House Ways and Means Committee in late May and early June with allegations DOJ officials gave Hunter Biden special treatment during the ongoing criminal investigation. The Ways and Means Committee released the transcripts of their testimony in late June and both whistleblowers testified publicly the next month. . .

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss special counsel in August after the IRS whistleblowers testified publicly and Hunter Biden’s guilty plea agreement collapsed. Weiss’ investigation into Hunter Biden resulted in two separate indictments by federal grand juries in Delaware and the Central District of California. . .

House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in September based on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the IRS whistleblower testimony. The House Ways and Means, Oversight and Judiciary Committees are leading the impeachment inquiry. (Read more from “Here’s the Five Biggest Hunter Biden Stories of the Past Year” HERE)

Trump on Biden’s Border Crisis: ‘Invasion’ and ‘Migration of Civilization’ Into the U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump ripped Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration for allowing what Trump calls an “invasion” at the U.S. border with Mexico, something the former president likened to a “migration of civilization into our country.”

Trump’s comments, which came during a two-hour-long exclusive interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday evening, come as Biden’s administration has been involved in talks with Mexico to try to stem the tide of migrants flowing into the country. They also come as lawmakers in Washington seek an elusive deal that would fund more aid to Ukraine—a Biden administration priority—in exchange for border reforms that Republicans in the Senate want. Trump ripped Biden for not understanding the leverage that he says the United States has in negotiations with Mexico.

“He doesn’t understand anything—they went into Mexico today, hat in hand,” Trump said. “We have all the power—they have none of the power.”Trump was referring to how Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken met this week with Mexican foreign minister Alicia Barcena to produce what the Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador—known as AMLO for short—called afterwards “important agreements.” A joint communication from Mexico and the United States that the Biden White House shared after the meeting stated the two countries’ commitment to “orderly, humane and regular migration.”

Trump thinks Biden got rolled by Mexico—something he says he would have never let happen when he was president. Trump told Breitbart News that when he took office in January 2017 after eight years of Democrat Barack Obama in the White House, there were many people streaming across the border. But Trump was able to significantly cut the flow down with deals like Remain-in-Mexico and other agreements with Northern Triangle countries in Central America—in addition to things like the implementation of Title 42 and the end of catch-and-release policies. But now that Biden is in there, and because of the fact he ripped up Trump’s policies immediately upon taking office, Trump says now there is an “invasion” and a “migration of civilization into the country” unlike any other in world history. Trump also repeatedly pointed out his belief that many of the people coming in are from mental institutions worldwide, and that some are even terrorists.

Pandemic Forever: County Reinstates Hospital Mask Mandate

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Los Angeles County has reinstated a mask mandate for all patients and staff at health care facilities heading into 2024, as a winter surge in coronavirus cases has reached key benchmarks.

Local ABC affiliate KABC-7 reported Saturday:

“Over the past week in Los Angeles County, there have been notable, yet not unexpected, increases in COVID-19 reported cases, hospitalizations and deaths,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement. “While recent increases are significant, they remain considerably below last winter’s peak and common-sense protections are strongly recommended to help curb transmission and severe illness as the new year begins.”

The threshold for the CDC’s medium level is between 10 and 19.9 new COVID hospital admissions per 100,000 population over seven days. The CDC reported 10.5 new COVID hospital admissions per 100,000 people in Los Angeles County for the week ending Dec. 23.

“Based on the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order posted on December 27, 2023, when the COVID-19 hospital admission level in Los Angeles County meets or exceeds the CDC’s Medium Level, all healthcare personnel, regardless of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination status, in licensed health care facilities that provide inpatient care are required to mask while in contact with patients or working in patient-care areas,” the department’s statement said.
