Now The End Begins
Under The Guise Of ‘Fighting Drug Cartels’, President Trump Has Launched Special
Ops Helicopters And B-52 Bombers Over Venezuela In Overture To War

By Geoffrey Grider: President Donald Trump has flown menacing B-52 bombers near Venezuela as he threatens to strike Nicolas Maduro’s drug-smuggling cartels on land.

The question everyone is asking at the moment, is what is really going on in Venezuela, and why is President Trump so intent on military action there? Oh, I know, he is there “fighting drug cartels”, but is he really? Does this have to do less with Venezuelan drug cartels and more to do with Russia and possible caches of drones being stored there?

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJV)

In May 2025, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Nicolás Maduro signed a 10-year strategic cooperation treaty in Moscow, elevating their bilateral alliance. The treaty reportedly expands cooperation across energy, defense, technology, communications, and satellite navigation. The new treaty and legal ratifications mark a formal deepening of the Russia–Venezuela alliance, giving it more structure than past arms deals or ad hoc agreements. President Trump should be honest with the American people, and tell us why he’s really committing US forces there. This smells like regime change to me.

 Size And Stage Of Development Do Not Determine Life’s Value—God Does

By Avery Foley: In early 2019, many Americans watched in horror as legislators proposed what were labeled extreme abortion bills.

A proposed bill in Virginia would allow a woman to request an abortion up to and through her labor at full gestation if it could be shown the pregnancy impaired her mental or physical health. In New York, a bill was passed that allows a woman to have an abortion on demand up until the time of the child’s birth. As the governor signed this bill into law, lawmakers applauded and cheered. That evening the Empire State Building glowed pink to celebrate this “victory” for women’s rights.

While certain legislators rejoiced, even many abortion supporters were appalled at this legislation, believing it went too far. The idea of killing a baby at full term was too grotesque and abhorrent, even for some who support abortion earlier in the timeline of a pregnancy. When dealing with late-term abortions, the pro-abortion lobby cannot hide behind euphemisms such as blob of cells, tissue, pregnancy, or even the mother’s body. At 40 weeks gestational age, the baby looks unmistakably like a baby.

But what about a baby at fertilization? He or she does not look like a baby and, to our knowledge, cannot feel pain or realize that he or she even exists. That baby is just a single cell. Is it still heinous to end the life of that child? What about a baby at four weeks gestational age? Or six? Or twelve? When does human life really begin?

 The Coming Flood Of Evil: ChatGPT’s Adult Content Will Create Digital Babylon

By PNW Staff: When Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that ChatGPT would begin allowing "erotica for verified adults" starting December 2025, the world crossed a moral line that should never have been approached. His defense -- "We are not the elected moral police of the world" -- was meant to sound neutral and enlightened. But in reality, it was the digital equivalent of Pontius Pilate washing his hands.

This plan is being sold as a matter of "adult freedom," but make no mistake: this is about normalizing sin, monetizing lust, and expanding the reach of evil under the guise of technology. What began as a tool for knowledge and creativity now risks becoming a factory for temptation -- and the spiritual consequences could be catastrophic.

Let's look at five ways this new direction will be deeply harmful to both society and the soul -- and why Christians must see this as a moral emergency.

1. The corruption of intimacy and the slow death of love

Artificial intelligence has already blurred the lines between reality and illusion. But AI-generated erotica will go further -- offering people simulated lovers, "custom" fantasies, and seductive conversations designed to satisfy fleshly cravings rather than heal the heart.

This is not freedom. It is digital slavery dressed up as personal liberty.

When machines start whispering to lonely souls, what happens to the sanctity of marriage? To the discipline of chastity? The more people engage with fantasy, the less capable they become of genuine human connection. AI erotica doesn't create love -- it counterfeits it. And the soul that settles for imitation begins to lose its hunger for the real thing.

Scripture warns, "The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but of the world" (1 John 2:16). AI erotica takes all three and packages them into a glowing screen.

 Zohran Mamdani Isn’t Just An Enemy Of The Jews — He’s A Warning For America

By Staff Writer: In recent months, New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has tried to rebrand himself as a “friend of the Jewish people” and a champion of peace. The record tells a different story. From defending Hamas “resistance” to amplifying antisemitic propaganda, Mamdani has emerged as one of the most radical voices in American politics — and a symbol of how anti-Israel extremism is creeping into the Democratic mainstream.

The Background: A Party Losing Its Moral Compass

After the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre — the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust — most Americans united in horror. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Mamdani’s political home, refused to condemn Hamas. Instead it organized “ceasefire” rallies that glorified the same “resistance” responsible for the slaughter of 1,200 Israelis.

As Israel fought back, Mamdani and his DSA allies accused the Jewish state of “genocide,” even as Hamas continued to fire rockets and use hospitals as command centers. His rhetoric wasn’t just inflammatory — it was dangerous. On national television, Mamdani repeated Hamas talking points almost word-for-wordinsisting that “our tax dollars have funded a genocide.”

When asked whether Hamas should disarm or surrender GazaMamdani dodged. “I have no opinions,” he said — a stunning answer from a U.S. lawmaker who simultaneously campaigns for stricter gun control in New York.

 NYC Is Experiencing A Sex Crime Wave
– Mamdani Will Make It Worse

By Daniel Greenfield There have been over 1,600 rapes, 2,000 sexual assaults with penetration and over 4,300 sex crimes as part of a staggering wave of assaults so far this year in New York City.

Total rapes were up 42% in just the past week, and as an exclusive FPM+ report titled ‘New Rape City’ revealed, are up as high as 300% in some parts of the city. And it’s getting worse.

In the middle of this shocking wave of sexual assaults, Zohran Mamdani, the socialist candidate currently ahead in the mayoral election, has offered proposals tailor-made to sex offenders.

Critics had already warned that Mamdani’s pro-crime proposals, including having social workers rather than cops respond to domestic violence calls, will enable further violence against women.




End Of The American Dream
 Most Of The Population Of The World Lives In A Nation Where Christians Are Being Persecuted

By Michael Snyder: There are about 8 billion people living in our world today, and well over half of them live in a country where Christians are being persecuted. Of course that would come as quite a shock to the vast majority of the Christians that are living in the western world, because they never hear much about the nightmarish things that are being done to Christians in nations such as China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and North Korea. Globally, the persecution of Christians is getting worse with each passing year, but since the mainstream media mostly ignores what is going on most of us just assume that it really isn’t a big deal. But the truth is that what is being done to our brothers and sisters all over the world is absolutely horrifying.

There are 1.4 billion people living in China today. Children under 18 are constitutionally prohibited from attending church, and adults are only allowed to attend state-controlled churches that are very tightly restricted. Underground churches are very popular, but those that lead those underground churches can be grabbed by the government at any time. In fact, dozens of Chinese pastors were just rounded up.
