"The process of the US collapse has accelerated." - Iran's supreme leader
He's not wrong.
Will you hear me now, America!?
"A 1,400-year-old war is being waged inside our country. Muhammad, the man
Muslims call their Prophet, was a military commander whose mission was to bring the world under Islamic rule.
That mission cannot be completed until America falls.
Islam is a hostile totalitarian political ideology using our freedoms to destroy us.
To every non-Muslim, it offers three choices: convert, submit, or die.
It does not stop until every court, school, and government on earth is under Sharia.
The Muslim Brotherhood turned this imperative into a modern conquest strategy.
Two seized documents, the 1982 Project and the 1991 Explanatory
Memorandum, detail their two-front plan: build parallel Islamic societies that reject assimilation, while their faithful capture our institutions.
The Brotherhood wrote the playbook.
Today every hostile Islamic regime and faction is executing it on our soil: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, Hamas, and the Taliban. Different countries. Different sects.
Marching in lockstep toward one conquest...."

I'm Japanese. Watching your midterm results roll in on Tuesday night broke my heart.
Republicans lost ground. A wave of Muslim and radical leftists just won seats across your country.
Since Tuesday, my American friends keep asking me the same question.
How did Japan stay Japan?
In Tokyo, trains leave on the exact second.
Leave your phone on a cafe table, and it is still waiting an hour later. Every year, people in Tokyo turn in over 4 billion yen in lost cash to the police.
We didn't keep this by accident.
When warships forced Japan open in 1853, our ancestors made a vow. Japanese spirit, Western technique.
Take the steel, the railways, and the factories. Leave the self-hatred at the dock.
After 1945, leftists tried to make us hate our history. We refused.
We never let guilt become a state religion the way your universities did. Nobody taught our kids that our ancestors were evil, or that the family was a crime.
Foreigners are still just 3 percent of Japan. When globalists called us closed, we didn't care. We went back to work.
A border isn't just a wall. It is a people who refuse to apologize for who they are.
But you need to hear the second half of our story before it is too late.
Japan kept its culture. Yet we are dying anyway.
In 1949, 2.7 million Japanese babies were born. Last year, it dropped below 700,000.
The left didn't do this to us. Weak conservatives did.
For thirty years, our politicians protected zombie corporations and old voters while crushing young working men. You cannot raise a family on a part-time contract.
When young Japanese stopped having kids, our rural towns simply went quiet and empty.
In America, empty spaces do not stay empty.
Your system priced young Americans out of homes, marriage, and children. Your schools taught them to be ashamed of their own heritage.
At the exact same time, you opened the gates.
You brought in millions from the Islamic world who do not share your values. They have big families, and they have zero intention of assimilating.
They do not apologize for their religion or their culture. They are fiercely proud of it. And they vote as a tribe.
Once that happens, elections stop being about tax cuts.
Elections become a headcount.
A proud culture that has children will always outvote and replace an aging culture that hates itself.
Look at Tuesday night's map. That isn't just a bad midterm cycle. That is your country slipping away in real time.
Stop letting spineless politicians sell out your young people for cheap foreign labor and corporate donors.
You don't save a nation just by praising the past.
You save it by locking the gates, fighting for your own young families, and having children to hand your country to.

Never forget El-Sayed said your rights END where he breathes and that people need to be protected from the unvaccinated.
EL-SAYED: “The most important thing is to MANDATE those vaccines.”
“Your right to choose not to get vaccinated ENDS where the breath that you’re breathing out of your lungs is now going into my nostrils.”
This man is now a senator representing 10.1 million people, and his term won’t be up for 6 more years.

When a Muslim Brotherhood member wins a Senate race, that’s NOT DEMOCRACY; that’s USEFUL IDIOTS hating their own country. When the mullahs in Iran took over, socialists helped them, and later, the Islamists killed them all. This is the most dangerous moment for Western civilization. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a dark chapter in this great nation’s history.
And as the Bible warns:
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
Be careful what you plant in the name of democracy. You may not enjoy the harvest.

This entire thing ends with every knee bowing and each tongue confessing

Michigan’s future is an Islamic one. They’re patient, steady, and they never stop.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed just introduced himself as America’s first Muslim senator… then switched to Arabic....
The Muslim Brotherhood isn’t hiding; they’re marching through our country and capturing piece after piece. First the House, now the Senate. Meanwhile, we can’t even get enough Americans to show up and vote.
While you fools were screaming about Israel, Islam was laughing at you - capturing town after town, city after city, court after court, state after state.
Brace yourselves.
The communist and Islamic takeover is marching full steam ahead. Allahu Akbar!

No one is talking about what’s really at stake in tomorrow’s midterm elections…
An election defeat for the Left means Democrats will not hold power for 100 years. Here’s how…
The Right has a generational opportunity to change America’s elections forever. 2026 locks in the path for 2028. Whoever is in power in 28’ will oversee the 2030 census.
With a fair census that stops counting illegal aliens and robbing red states of apportionment:
California loses 10 seats
New York loses 5
Illinois loses 4
Red states, which are growing, will GAIN +20 seats. We will also will be able to redistrict during this time. Say goodbye to a half dozen more Democrat seats, looking at you Indiana.
This will make it mathematically near impossible for a Democrat to win The House or an Electoral College victory in a national election.
This will be a historic realignment that could change the nation forever.
Let this be your motivation to get out and Vote tomorrow. This is how we save the country for our children and our children’s children.
I miss this man. A great American. His "suicide" has never been fully investigated.
Vote @MikeRogersForMI like your life depends on it, Michigan.

Phil Haney explained everything you need to know about Abdul El-Sayed. Every freedom-loving American needs to see this, and it's definitely the most important video you'll watch between now and November.

Listen to every word
“I voted. I was standing in that voting booth thinking about high gas prices, expensive groceries, housing costs and the financial pressure on working families. Then my mind went to France, to Dearborn, Michigan and I realized this election is about far more than gas and groceries.
It's about our future, radical Islam, national security, illegal immigration, our borders, education, parental rights, sex and gender policies, and the values our children inherit.
I couldn't see myself voting for a party that hates America, apologizes for our country, is ashamed of our flag, and wants to rewrite our history and abandon our values.
So I voted red, not because Republicans get everything right, always do right by everyday Americans, or are free from corruption, but because I believe we can only fix this country if we still have a country left to fix”
I could not have said it better myself. Voting Blue is literally voting to end America and for the eventual Islamic takeover of America. Voting Democrat means being wiped out by illegals, having our elections permanently rigged, our culture replaced and never having a way out
Everyone needs to vote Red like your life depends on it because it does

Niemand, der diesen Rat befolgte, war dumm. Sie waren gehorsam gegenüber den qualifiziertesten Fachleuten, die es jeweils gab.“

It’s the verse skeptics love to post: a prophet curses some children for calling him bald, and God sends bears to maul them.
“He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, ‘Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!’ And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.” - 2 Kings 2:23–24
On the surface, it sounds monstrous. Little kids. A bad joke. Forty-two of them torn apart.
But almost every detail in that summary is wrong.
1. They weren’t little children.
The Hebrew word is נַעַר (na’ar). It’s the same word used for Isaac when Abraham took him up the mountain (Genesis 22:12), for Joseph at seventeen (Genesis 37:2), for Absalom when he led an army against his father (2 Samuel 18:5), and for soldiers going into battle (1 Kings 20:14). It means a young male: anything from a teenager to a young man.
And do the math. Forty-two were mauled. That means the crowd was at least that big, and probably bigger. This wasn’t a few kids on a playground. It was a mob of young men pouring out of a city to confront a lone prophet on the road.
2. “Go up” wasn’t a random insult.
Read the verses just before. Elijah, Elisha’s master, had just been taken up into heaven by a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11). Everyone in Israel would have heard about it.
So when the crowd shouts “Go up, baldhead!”, they’re mocking the ascension itself. Go on, disappear as your master did. We don’t want you or your God here.
3. Where it happened matters.
Bethel was the center of Israel’s idol worship. King Jeroboam had set up a golden calf there and told the people, “Behold your gods, O Israel” (1 Kings 12:28–29). This was a city that had turned its back on the LORD for generations, and now its young men came out to drive off His prophet.
And God had warned them. In the covenant, He said that if Israel kept walking in rebellion, “I will let loose the wild beasts among you” (Leviticus 26:21–22). Bethel was living under that warning.
Notice also: Elisha didn’t summon bears. He spoke a curse in the name of the LORD, and left it to God. The judgment came from the One Bethel had rejected.
And look at the scene right before it. In Jericho, Elisha heals a poisoned spring, and the city receives life (2 Kings 2:19–22). Two cities. One prophet. One received him and was healed. One mocked him and was judged.
It’s still a hard passage. It should be. Scripture doesn’t hide that mocking God is serious.
But here’s where it gets stunning.
Centuries later, another Man was mocked by a crowd. Not “go up.” This time it was “Come down”: “If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross” (Matthew 27:40).
He had every right to call down judgment. His own disciples once asked Him to call fire from heaven, like Elijah, on a village that rejected Him, and He rebuked them (Luke 9:54–55).
Instead, from the cross, with the mockery still ringing in His ears, He prayed:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
Elisha’s mockers met the judgment.
Jesus’ mockers met a Savior who took it for them.

The world is looking away from a modern-day slaughter, and the silence is deafening.
While the cameras capture headlines elsewhere, thousands of innocent believers are being systematically hunted, slaughtered, and erased. In Nigeria, entire villages are reduced to ashes overnight. Children and families are dragged into the shadows, held hostage, their cries swallowed by an indifferent world.
Where is the outrage? Where are the trending tags for them?
Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo stood in the public square, raised his voice against the slaughter of his people, and days later walked back into the graveyard to bury his own church members and family. That is the reality of the persecuted church right now: preach on Sunday, bury your flock by Tuesday.
They have faced the blade, but they will not surrender their faith. Do not let their blood be spilled in total obscurity.
Break the silence. Share this. Stand in the gap and intercede with God for Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo and the broken, unyielding church of Nigeria. 🙏💔🕊️

🚨 BREAKING: The White House just told middle-class Americans exactly where their paychecks have been going, and it's infuriating.
From the podium: "If you're a middle class taxpayer in this country, before President Trump came along, you spent half your working life paying for fraudsters and scammers."
Think about that. You paid every parking ticket and did everything the right way. Meanwhile, fake day cares billed for kids who didn't exist, and the crooks bought Mercedes, BMWs and mansions on your dime.
The administration says it's already recovered a quarter of a trillion dollars and is aiming for a trillion.
The looting is over. Time to take it all back.

You can’t see his face.
Briton Rivière painted Daniel with his back to you. Barefoot. Hands bound behind him. Standing at the bottom of a pit, in the dim light that falls from the opening above.
And the lions are facing you.
That’s the trick of the painting. You’re not watching Daniel. You’re standing where Daniel stands. Every lion in that den is looking in your direction. Some curious. Some restless. One rising. Bones on the floor from the last men who came down here.
Rivière studied lions for hours at the London Zoo to get this right. The weight of the shoulders. The way a big cat watches before it moves. He wanted you to feel exactly how close they are.
And Daniel’s hands are tied.
He can’t fight. He can’t climb. He can’t even shield his face.
So how did he survive?
Not in the den. Go back a few verses.
Daniel 6:10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
As he did aforetime.
The king had just signed a law: anyone who prays to any god but the king for thirty days goes to the lions. Daniel heard about it. Went home. Opened the window. And prayed exactly the way he’d prayed the day before.
He didn’t start praying because of the lions. He didn’t stop praying because of them either. He didn’t even close the window.
Now here’s what almost nobody notices.
Daniel was taken to Babylon as a young man, in the third year of Jehoiakim. Daniel 1:1. That’s around 605 BC.
The lions’ den happens under Darius the Mede, after Babylon falls. Around 539 BC.
Do the math. Sixty-six years.
Every children’s Bible draws Daniel as a strong young man. He wasn’t. He was an old man, probably past eighty. Sixty-some years of praying three times a day toward a city he’d never see again. A temple that had been burned to the ground.
That’s roughly seventy thousand prayers before the den.
The hands in this painting are bound. But those hands had been folded every morning, noon, and evening for sixty-six years. The battle wasn’t won in the pit. It was won at the window.
Look at how his enemies built the trap.
Daniel 6:4. They sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault.
Verse 5. We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
They audited his whole life and came up empty. The only crime they could find was his faithfulness. So they made it illegal.
Now watch what happens next. It should sound familiar.
Daniel 6:17. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet.
A stone over the opening. Sealed by the authority of the empire.
The king can’t sleep. He doesn’t eat. And then
Daniel 6:19. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Very early in the morning. In a hurry. To a sealed stone.
Six hundred years later, Matthew 27:66. They made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
And then very early in the morning, someone came hurrying to that stone too.
Daniel was a preview. A righteous man condemned by a law rigged against him, his only crime faithfulness to God, sealed under a stone overnight, and in the morning, he came up alive.
Daniel 6:23. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
Hebrews 11 lists him among the faithful. Who through faith... stopped the mouths of lions.
Now look at the painting one more time. Look at what Rivière didn’t paint.
No angel. No light shining down. No miracle on display.
Just an old man with his hands tied, facing everything that wants to eat him, standing still.
That’s the part of the story most of us live in. Not the rescue. The night.
Now you.
The lions are real. 1 Peter 5:8. Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Some of you are in the den right now. Hands tied. You can’t fix it. You can’t fight it. You can’t climb out. The diagnosis, the lawsuit, the layoff, the thing someone said about you that isn’t true. They found nothing else against you, so they found something.
And you’re standing in the dark with your back to everyone, waiting.
Here’s what Daniel knew.
You don’t build faith in the den. You build it at the window. Every ordinary morning you prayed when nothing was wrong, every boring evening you gave thanks when you didn’t feel like it that’s what holds you up when the lions are close enough to smell.
If you haven’t built it yet, start tonight. Not when the law is signed. Now.
And if you’re already in the pit
the stone is not the end of the story. Someone is coming very early in the morning.
He’s done it before.
Open the window.
Amen!
When I was Muslim, I never noticed what the Quran DOESN'T have.
Namely, exact dates, exact places or exact titles or names you can check.
Bro, when you read the Quran’s stories there is literally zero chronology, almost no geography, kings called only “Pharaoh,” events floating in no particular year. It is incredibly vague.
You cannot get answers to questions like: Where did the story happen? When? Under whom? The text doesn’t say. You can’t check it, which conveniently means you can’t check it.
Now, contrast that to the Bible, read the opening of Luke 3:
“In the FIFTEENTH YEAR of the reign of TIBERIUS CAESAR — PONTIUS PILATE being governor of JUDEA, HEROD being tetrarch of GALILEE, his brother PHILIP tetrarch of ITUREA and TRACHONITIS, and LYSANIAS tetrarch of ABILENE, during the high priesthood of ANNAS and CAIAPHAS…”
SEVEN historical anchors in one sentence.
An emperor, a governor, three rulers with their exact territories, two high priests.
And people HAVE checked — for centuries, often trying to break it. Skeptics mocked Luke’s “Lysanias of Abilene” as an error…
UNTIL an inscription naming Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene turned up.
Pilate was called legend by some… until the Pilate Stone was dug up at Caesarea in 1961 with his name and title carved in it.
Luke 1:3-4 tells you why: “Having followed all things closely… that you may have CERTAINTY.”
Certainty. That’s the offer of the Bible.
The Quran floats above history where nothing can touch it.
The Bible planted its flag in checkable ground and said: dig.
I dug. It’s still standing.
Praise the Lord and His mighty God-Breathed scripture.
