Question: How do you convince a well-educated and sophisticated New Yorker to vote for you? Answer: Give them a free bus ride. This is politics in the Big Apple for 2025. This is the campaign of Zohran Mamdani. For those who have a reasonable amount of spiritual discernment, all that is needed is this: “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” [2 John 1:7] For those who don’t mind a bunco battering there is the lazy man’s method of getting scammed....

Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder, has a provocative theory about how the Antichrist could take over the Earth and enslave humanity. "My speculative thesis is that if the Antichrist were to come to power it would be by talking about Armageddon all the time," Thiel told Hoover Institution interviewer Peter Robinson earlier this year. The greatest danger we face, according to Thiel, might not be from global warming, terrorism, nuclear winter, or artificial intelligence going rogue. The real danger is that we're so afraid of these threats that we're willing to give up our freedom in...

Peter Thiel, the billionaire political svengali and tech investor, is worried about the antichrist. It could be the US. It could be Greta Thunberg. Over the past month, Thiel has hosted a series of four lectures on the downtown waterfront of San Francisco philosophizing about who the antichrist could be and warning that Armageddon is coming. Thiel, who describes himself as a “small-o orthodox Christian”, believes the harbinger of the end of the world could already be in our midst and that things such as international agencies, environmentalism and guardrails on technology could quicken its rise. It is a remarkable...

The similarities among the United States and Israel include their shared Manifest Destiny. One appears historical, the other current. In reality, they are conjoint and continuous, because the basis of their action is reason and progress. Manifest means self-evident and clear. Destiny means fated and inevitable, often in the context of a divine calling, and destined by God to create a dominion, and spread a particular belief and culture. That faith and culture in the United States was a manifestation of modernization based on human progress. The country began as a small, isolated settlement, just as Israel began, but it...

I think if Luther had seen this video, it's entirely possible that he might have kept his 99 problems with the Catholic church to himself. BEHOLD: When you're too woke for Jesus: At the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, a woman lists all the biblical texts that "say things about women and girls that we now recognize as harmful" and which advance "sexism and the patriarchy." Last 40 seconds especially #ELCA #Lutherans pic.twitter.com/gUIZP28Gof— Protestia (@Protestia) September 25, 2025In the ... ELCA, we believe all people are created equally in the image of God.

Leading Report @LeadingReport BREAKING: Texas A&M student kicked out of class for objecting a lesson about transgenderism. Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison is now referring Texas A&M to the Trump administration for investigation and is calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to fire the officials involved. A&M President tells the student firing the professor is “not happening.”

President Donald Trump ripped Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) on Monday for stating last week that the concept that rights are given by a creator – a foundational American belief – is “extremely troubling.” During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing last Wednesday, Kaine called comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suggesting rights are God-given, “very troubling.” “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the creator–that’s what the Iranian government believes,” Kaine said. “The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling,”...

The “big lie” is the name of a propaganda technique, originally coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf (1925), who wrote, “The great masses of the people ... will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” Sixteen years later, Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, actively promoted the big lie as the key principle of the Nazi propaganda machine. Sadly, lying has become so commonplace in our society that the truth often appears or is portrayed as a lie, and outright lies are given legitimacy by many of our political leaders, our courts, our institutions...

While the Southern Baptist Convention held its annual convention, another Baptist group gathered in the shadows of the event. Baptist Women in Ministry, a national organization dedicated to “advocating for the full affirmation of women in ministry and leadership in Baptist life,” met nearby in a United Methodist church where they criticized motions and amendments trickling out of the meeting. Two of the speakers were Meredith Stone, Executive Director of BWIM and interim teaching pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, (An SBC Church) and Allison Beth Barr, a prominent progressive egalitarian and historian at Baylor University, who we’ve...

The Kansas Reflector reported that local prosecutors decided May 28 not to pursue charges against the leader of the Satanic Grotto, Michael Stewart, and two other members. CatholicVote previously reported that Stewart had been detained by police after he punched a man trying to prevent him from making a dedication to Satan inside the Capitol during the March 28 Satanic ritual. Stewart had...

John Wesley (1703 – 1791) “… In many respects, the Pope has an indisputable claim to those titles. He is, in an emphatical sense, the man of sin, as he increases all manner of sin above measure. And he is, too, properly styled, the son of perdition, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers, destroyed innumerable souls, and will himself perish everlastingly. He it is that opposeth himself to the emperor, once his rightful sovereign; and that exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped – Commanding angels,...

A powerful figure has emerged in the Muslim world, and his newly founded religion is gaining followers worldwide. Shockingly, on Easter Sunday, his followers declared him to be the new pope, and the next day, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had passed away. Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, commonly known as Abdullah Hashem, was born in 1983 in Indiana to an Egyptian father and an American mother. He is an Egyptian-American and the founder of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), not to be confused with the Ahmadiyya community discriminated against in Pakistan. He claims to be the...

It’s not usual that we see a soccer player score two goals at once. And that’s just what happened in the British Premier League, in the match where champions Liverpool massacred Tottenham Hotspur by 5-1. Dutch forward Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool’s third goal in the final match, and proceeded to reveal his undershirt with the words ‘I belong to Jesus’ were visible to millions watching the match around the world – and even greater ‘goal’. Of course, the United Kingdom being as is, Liverpool is set to be reprimanded by the Football Association (FA) for Gakpo’s actions. The Telegraph reported:...

The entire world is now anxiously observing what the 47th President of the United States is doing with world trade. For this nation we might say – it is about time. All the voices are resounding with yeas and nays, here is the one voice you should not ignore. It did not originate with me, but rather, it is ancient and immutable – it is prophetic. The idea of a worldwide economy is as old as the Tower of Babel. Trying to become one-world is as old as man. Lately the term “New World Order” has begun to crop up...

It’s no secret that Barack Obama was the most divisive president of our lifetime—especially when it came to race. Who can forget the chaos and racial resentment that boiled over during his time in office, as he led the country down a path of confusion, division, and unrest? Obama was the absolute opposite of unity—and sadly, to this day, we’re still paying the price for the division he sowed. This is Obama’s legacy on race relations in America: Even Fox Business ran a report on Obama’s catastrophic record on race relations—eight years ago. It all started with the Trayvon Martin...

Vatican: Ramadan is for Catholics ‘a school of inner transformation’In a seemingly ecumenical appeal, the Vatican praised Islamic Ramadan as a means of ‘inner conversion’ and emphasized a parallel with Christian Lent. The message follows Pope Francis’ push for interfaith dialogue, which critics say downplays theological issues.The Vatican has issued a Ramadan message to Muslims, saying that its coinciding with the Christian season of Lent is “a unique opportunity to walk, side-by-side.”“Ramadan appears to us Catholics as a school of inner transformation,” wrote the Vatican today. “By abstaining from food and drink, Muslims learn to control their desires and turn...
