Important Takeaways:
- The West’s political “elites” condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah’s leadership.
- There was no mention of international law for Hezbollah’s unprovoked, year-long attacks: bombardments of missiles and attack drones every day at a country smaller than New Jersey.
- EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell lamented Israel’s continued successful attempts at destroying one of Iran’s proxy armies.
- When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, one of the world’s most dangerous arch-terrorists, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres could barely hold back his disappointment, counterfactually calling Hezbollah’s unprovoked war against Israel and the IDF’s response a “cycle of violence.”
- Only Argentina’s President Javier Milei displayed a reaction fitting the removal of a terrorist mass murderer…
- Israel, as has been noted, is doing the entire world an enormous service by taking out Hezbollah.
- Iran, just since October 2023, through its militias in Syria and Iraq, has launched more than 160 attacks on the US forces in the Middle East.
- [W]hen Israel killed Ibrahim Aqil, the mastermind of the 1983 attacks and a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, its highest military body, the US could not even bring itself to thank its ally.
- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken pretends that the US is working to prevent “full-blown war” when these claims can also be seen as yet another attempt at saving both Hezbollah and Hamas so they can rearm and attack Israel again until it “is annihilated,” as Hamas officials have vowed to do. A ceasefire now — a pause for Hamas and Hezbollah to re-arm — would also save Iran’s regime, complete with nuclear weapons, as well as the regime’s dreams of hegemony.
- The world’s political elites apparently cannot forgive Israel for seeking to defend itself, and rid the world of terrorists working to destroy both America and Western civilization. Could these elites, wittingly or not, be working towards the same result?

Important Takeaways:
- Have you ever wondered why so many of the most powerful men in our society turn out to be sexual predators? As you will see below, another extremely powerful man was just arrested on Tuesday.
- While he was CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries turned it into a global fashion powerhouse.
- But now he has been charged with operating an “international sex trafficking and prostitution business” that involved dozens of young men…
- Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two others were arrested Tuesday as part of a criminal investigation into the alleged sex trafficking of more than a dozen victims, according to the FBI and federal prosecutors.
- Jeffries; his partner, Matt Smith; and a third man, Jim Jacobson, are accused of operating an international sex trafficking and prostitution business that recruited young men for parties in the U.S. and abroad, according to a 16-count indictment.
- It is being reported that Jeffries used his position to “lure young men into sex by suggesting they could become models” for Abercrombie & Fitch.
- For years, these very young men were the star attraction at massive sex parties that were held all over the world.
- Because he was the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Jeffries had all the resources that he needed to make his twisted wishes come true…
- The former retail executive and Smith relied on their vast financial resources, Jeffries’ power as the CEO of Abercrombie, and numerous people, including Jacobson and a network of employees, contractors and security professionals, to run a business “that was dedicated to fulfilling their sexual desires and ensuring that their international sex trafficking and prostitution business was kept secret,” the indictment alleges.
- Federal prosecutors said the trio allegedly paid dozens of men to travel around the world to engage in sex acts over at least a seven-year period, starting in late 2008. The indictment mentions 15 alleged victims, identified as John Does #1-#15. Jeffries allegedly recruited, hired and paid a slate of household staff to “facilitate and supervise the Sex Events.”
- Of course, these revelations about Jeffries have come out at a time when allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs have been shocking the entire globe.
- We like to think of ourselves as a shining example for the rest of the world, but the truth is that we are a very wicked generation.
- Our society is in far bigger trouble than most people realize.
- At this point, even 75 percent of all Christian men “use pornography to some degree”…
- The recently released study, Beyond the Porn Phenomenon, conducted by the Barna Group in partnership with Pure Desire Ministries, found pornography use is prevalent among all demographics and the gap between Christians and non-Christians is shrinking significantly.
- Around 54% of Christians and 68% of non-Christians reported viewing pornography. And among Christians, 75% of Christian men and 40% of Christian women use pornography to some degree.
- If we do not find a way to reverse course and start doing what is right, a day will come when we shall certainly reap what we have been sowing all these years.

Important Takeaways:
- A dystopian scene is emerging in California as dairy farmers battle a ruthless disease.
- Dead cows and calves stacked along roadsides rotting in the heat surrounded by crows, vultures and thick swarms of black flies.
- After wiping out tens of millions of birds worldwide, the H5N1 avian flu is tearing through dairy farms in the US.
- A total of 124 herds have been affected in California alone, in addition to nearly 200 herds spanning 13 other states including Colorado, Idaho and Michigan.
- Some fallen cattle are being intentionally left on the roadside to reduce the chance of the virus spreading on farms.
- There are growing concerns that it could have a knock-on effect on milk production and pricing.
- Eggs have already been hit by shortages and price gouging after the arrival of bird flu in chickens.
- Infected carcasses are being brought to a rendering site – a facility that processes animal remains – to be turned into ‘high protein’ animal feed and fertilizer, or liquids used in fuels, paints, varnishes, lubricants and other industrial products.
- Removing and processing these carcasses eliminates the risk of them passing bird flu onto other animals or humans.
- California is the nation’s largest dairy producer, and this state currently holds the record for the most bird flu-infected cattle herds in a single state, in addition to a high number of cases among dairy workers.
- Even if cows survive the virus, it takes a toll on their milk production.
- Observations suggest that production drops to just 60 percent or 70 percent due to the virus, the LA Times reported.
- The effect this will have on dairy prices remains unclear, but if expert predictions are correct, the dairy industry could become increasingly destabilized as cases and fatalities in cattle soar.

Important Takeaways:
- New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy issued a Drought Watch on Thursday and urged residents and business to conserve water as dry conditions continue.
- Firefighters across the Northeast have been busy working to extinguish wildfires that erupted in Connecticut and New Jersey over the past several days as abnormally dry conditions persist in the region.
- “The lack of measurable rain is translating into dangerous fire concerns across the Northeast,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Marissa Torres said.
- The FOX Forecast Center said dry brush is largely to blame for allowing the fires to spread. However, winds and low relative humidity are also helping to fuel the flames.
- “Parts of Connecticut are reporting less than a half-inch of rain so far this month,” Torres continued. “No rain, as we mentioned, is expected this week.”

Important Takeaways:
- The record-breaking event began Friday and continued through Sunday due to a slow-moving upper-level low-pressure system sitting on top of the Four Corners region in the Southwest, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
- New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed an executive order Monday, declaring an emergency in Chaves County after record-breaking rain led to deadly flooding in the Roswell area over the weekend.
- That declaration now unlocks $1 million in funding to help bolster flooding relief efforts in and around the Roswell area.
- “My declaration of a state of emergency for Chaves County will help support local recovery efforts in the aftermath of historic and severe flooding in and around Roswell,” Lujan Grisham said in a statement. “I’m grateful for the swift actions taken by local authorities and our state departments to help communities in need.”
- In addition to the emergency declaration, Lujan Grisham signed a second executive order that authorized the release of $250,000 to the New Mexico National Guard to support the disaster relief efforts.
- On Saturday, NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) warned that heavy precipitation was likely to cause flash flooding in the region.
- That forecast came to fruition late Saturday night when round after round of rain and thunderstorms marched across the Roswell area, eventually leading to rare Flash Flood Emergencies due to the rapidly rising water.
- Rainfall rates of 1-3 inches an hour were reported, which exceeded the average hourly rain rate for October, November and December combined, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

Important Takeaways:
- The world needs a “balance of powers” to avoid “extermination,” the former Russian president has said
- The US must abandon its ambitions of “world domination” or risk a war which could lead to the “complete extermination” of humanity, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned on Monday.
- According to Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, Washington’s goal is “domination over the Old World, as well as over the rest of the world.”
- However, this policy is merely leading to the “weakening and humiliation of the West, including Europe” within the framework of the modern multipolar global order, Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.
- The official issued the post in the context of the upcoming BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan, which is set to kick off on Tuesday.

Important Takeaways:
- A drone that infiltrated from Lebanon struck a building in Caesarea on Saturday, was revealed on Tuesday to be the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Only hours earlier, a senior Hezbollah official had claimed responsibility for the drone strike.
- Until now, it had only been reported that the drone was launched toward his home, but it was not disclosed that it hit the structure. The Prime Minister and his wife were not present during the incident.
- The drone was tracked by a combat helicopter, which identified its infiltration from Lebanon until the moment of impact. As a result, alarms were triggered in Glilot and northern Tel Aviv, though the Home Front Command app did not issue any warnings.
- In response to Hezbollah’s drone attack, Netanyahu said on Saturday: “Iran’s proxies, who today attempted to assassinate me and my wife, made a grave mistake. This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing the war of resurgence against our enemies to secure our safety for generations to come.”
- He added: “I say to the Iranians and their partners in the axis of evil—anyone who harms Israeli citizens will pay a heavy price. We will continue to eliminate your terrorists, retrieve our hostages from Gaza, and restore security to our northern residents.”

Mario Murillo:
- Kamala Harris just told Christians they should not vote for her.
- Her exact words were, “You are in the wrong rally.” How does that equate to, “If you are Christian, you should not vote for me”? Here is the explanation. It happened at her Wisconsin rally.
- While speaking, she declared the glory of abortion. The crowd, which had been subdued till then, began cheering wildly in favor of killing babies. When the cheers died down, a man in the crowd shouted, “Jesus is Lord!”
- Harris taunted the man by saying, “You are in the wrong rally.”
- The man had said nothing against abortion. The man wore nothing MAGA. The only thing Harris knew was that he was a Christian. The crowd cheered again, apparently thrilled to know that Christians are not welcome in their party.
- But there is something more significant. As I said, the man wore nothing that showed he was a Trump supporter. This makes what she said even more blatant. She is telling us that Christians belong in the Trump campaign, but not in the Democratic campaign.
- Her insult of Christians began the day before. Harris had offended Catholics by skipping the Al Smith dinner, the one dinner political candidates running for president must never miss.
- This was not a harmless snub. It speaks to something much deeper. Rachel Murray is an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion, (you know, “woke”). In her article “Silence is Complicity,” she said, “Not showing up means that even if you aren’t actively taking the side of an aggressor, you are implicitly doing that.”
- Kamala’s insults are strategic. She is an aggressor against the body of Christ. Her tactics are straight out of the handbook “Rules for Radicals” by the late communist Saul Alinsky.
- I think God in His mercy let her blurt this out. Now you know Christians aren’t welcome in her world. And therefore, Christians won’t be welcome in her plans for America. I believe God did it for the Christians who are on the fence. Or—God forbid—are going to vote for her.

Important Takeaways:
- Tucker Carlson invited journalist Mark Halperin on his show to predict what the post-election future could look like for America and was horrified by what he heard.
- Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and a reporter and host for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris.
- ‘I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,’ he said, adding that liberals would question their ‘connection to the nation’ and suffer ‘trauma in the workplace.’
- Carlson, flabbergasted, responded: ‘Are you being serious?’
- Halperin confirmed he was “100% serious” before making even more dire predictions of a second Trump term.
- The former ABC, NBC and MSNBC reporter said Democrats could stomach Trump having won due to ‘a fluke’ in 2016 but that Trump winning fair and square would ruin their psyches.
- Halperin has hosted his own show ‘Focus Groups’ since 2020 and prides himself on being politically neutral when he appears regularly on a number of political podcasts. He was fired from roles at NBC and ABC in 2017 after he was accused of sexually harassing a number of female staff. He denied the allegations.
- Halperin predicted violence everywhere from protests to average, everyday interactions between Americans after the election should Trump win.
- ‘I think there’ll be workplace fights, fights at kids’ birthday parties, I think there will be protests that will turn violent. I hope they don’t, but I think there will be some,’ Halperin said.
