Synopsis: The news of the day and how it affects you as a Christian. It’s the Friday News Round-Up and Comment broadcast. Here’s a sample of what host Jim Schneider presented for listeners:
• The longest government shutdown in our history ended with the stroke of a pen by President Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening. He signed a spending package into law that will fund the government through the end of January.
• Members of Congress collected more than $20,000 apiece during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, as millions of Americans went without pay and essential services. The White House estimates that the shutdown inflicted roughly 15 billion dollars in weekly economic damage with 60,000 private sector jobs lost.
• Leftists, including some elected officials, reacted with rage Monday after 8 Senate Democrats caved to Senate Republicans by agreeing to vote to end the lengthy government shutdown. Despite voting against the deal, Chuck Schumer is emerging as the top target for not containing the defections.
• Paychecks to federal workers reportedly will be going out tomorrow.
• Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that the full SNAP benefits would be restored by Monday, November 17th.
• Rollins said that SNAP benefits are ripe with fraud and abuse.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handed out $10,000 bonus checks November 13th to thousands of frontline TSA officers who stayed on the job during the government shutdown.
• Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania surprised CNN’s Dana Bash as he explained how much crueler the political left has treated him compared to those on the right.
• New York City Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani spoke unapologetically about his Muslim faith and Democratic socialist roots during his victory speech on election night.
• In the wake of the victory by Mamdani, Muslims are claiming New York for Islam.
• The city of Ithaca, New York, made history this week by electing a 20 year old member of the Communist Party USA to public office.
• Progressive candidate Katie Wilson was elected as the 58th mayor of Seattle.
• So far there are 47 members of Congress that are not seeking re-election.
• Representative Jasmine Crockett believes President Trump may potentially play with the voting machines for the mid-term elections.
• The New York Post is reporting that an NYPD exodus is already underway with a surge of officers quitting in the month leading up to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win.

Now The End Begins
Christian, You Need To Pick A Side In This Rising Wave Of Jew Hatred And Choose Wisely, For You Will Give An Account At The Judgment Seat Of Christ
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
On American university campuses younger generations are displaying increasingly harsh antisemitic attitudes towards the Jews and Israel
All over the world, from college campuses to political chambers, antisemitism is exploding at a pace that even secular reporters are calling “historic.” In just the last few years the world has seen a dramatic, measurable, and undeniable spike in antisemitic incidents. Governments are reporting record-high hostility, universities are drenched in anti-Israel propaganda, and young adults on social media boldly repeat rhetoric that would have shocked the world twenty years ago.
Many of these anti-Jewish voices are coming from people and groups that consider themselves to be Christian, yet paradoxically have intense hatred for the Jews from whom came the scriptures, and from whom came Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible calls Jesus the “king of the Jews”, and indeed He soon shall rule and reign from Jerusalem, much to the presumed dismay of mainstream Christianity in 2025.
What you are watching right now, in real time, is the spirit of Antichrist rising across the world, manifesting itself in a global surge of Jew-hatred not seen since the days leading up to World War II. It is no coincidence, it’s Bible prophecy. And if you know your King James Bible, then you already understand why this is happening, who is behind it, and exactly where it is heading.

Despite Outlandish International Demands, Israel Cannot Allow Terrorists To Regain Their Strength
By Amir Tsarfati: (Galilee, Israel) — Before we get to the rest of the news, let me update you on the continuing saga of the leaking of the video which purported to show the sexual assault of a terrorist prisoner by IDF soldiers. When I last left you, the tape had been proven false, and the one responsible for the leaking of the video was shown to be none other than the military advocate general herself, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi. Arrest warrants were issued for her and for others, and search warrants were also signed to collect evidence. But Tomer-Yerushalmi staged a supposed suicide attempt in the Mediterranean Sea during which she claimed to have lost the phone which was loaded with extremely important information. She was later found completely unharmed, and taken into custody.
Since that time, Tomer-Yerushalmi’s phone was found. Not only did it still work, but it was remarkably intact. No signs of the corrosion that would have been caused by the five days it had supposedly spent in the salty Mediterranean. When the phone was powered on, the battery was still half full, but the SIM card was discovered to be missing and the phone’s contents had been thoroughly cleaned. There’s obviously something quite magical about that Mediterranean water!
Instead of coming down hard on the advocate general, the lenient judiciary, many of whom are concerned about being implicated in the far-reaching tentacles that might be attached to this incident, allowed her to be placed on house arrest. During that time, she allegedly made a second suicide attempt by taking a large number of sleeping pills. The common belief is through these manic episodes, she is trying to build a case that she’s not mentally fit to stand trial. So, that’s it for this week’s episode of Israel’s favorite soap opera, “As the Advocate General Turns.”

Netanyahu Rebukes Macron For Calling Abbas A “Prince of Peace” Amid Ongoing PA Terror Stipends
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: French President Emmanuel Macron stood beside Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas in Paris. The French leader declared the head of the PA to be a “prince of peace,” echoing Pope Francis’s 2015 description of Abbas as an “angel of peace.” The praise contrasted sharply with the record of a leader whose doctoral thesis in Soviet academia denied aspects of the Holocaust, whose movement descends directly from the terrorist PLO under Yasser Arafat, and whose government still pays stipends to terrorists under the pay-for-slay system. The PA continues to reward murderers with escalating payments based on the number of Jews killed and has failed to implement reforms that Abbas himself signed into law.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded immediately, calling Macron’s praise “the opposite of reality.” Speaking to Australian journalist Erin Molan, Netanyahu outlined what Paris chose to ignore: Abbas’s refusal to end terror payments, the naming of public squares after mass murderers, and education materials that erase Israel and glorify violence. Macron nevertheless insisted that France views Abbas as a reliable partner and continues to advance recognition of a Palestinian state.
After their meeting at the Élysée Palace, Macron described Abbas as a leader committed to peace and constitutional reform. He announced a joint legal committee with the PA, French aid to Gaza, and a warning to Israel that any annexation of Judea and Samaria would trigger a European response. Macron repeated his condemnation of so-called “settler violence,” despite a recent 125-page Regavim Movement report analyzing UN incident data that showed more than 98 percent of the cases labeled as “settler violence” involved clashes between Palestinians and the IDF with no Israeli civilians present.
Macron’s embrace of Abbas mirrors growing European momentum to elevate the PA as a state-building partner. It also comes as Abbas—now entering the nineteenth year of a four-year term—again pledged reforms, elections, and a new PA constitution. These promises have been made repeatedly while the pay-for-slay network operates through a rebranded “welfare” mechanism and while the PA continues payments to terrorists who carried out the October 7 attacks.

Apple’s Digital ID:
The Beginning Of A New Normal
The Beginning Of A New Normal
By PNW Staff: A quiet revolution is unfolding right before our eyes. What once sounded like a far-off concept--digital identity systems that verify who you are with a tap of a phone--is no longer theoretical. It is here, expanding rapidly, and being adopted by governments and corporations at a stunning pace. Apple's new Digital ID feature is only the latest sign that society is moving toward a world where identity verification is constant, required, and digitally enforced.
The question isn't if digital IDs will become mainstream. The question is how quickly this transformation will overtake everyday life--and what it will mean for privacy, freedom, and the future direction of society.
Apple has begun testing its new Digital ID feature inside the Wallet app, allowing users to upload passports and verify their identity using simple facial-movement checks. For now, the tool is limited to U.S. domestic air travel and accepted by the TSA at more than 250 airport checkpoints. But Apple is not hiding its larger ambition: Digital ID is intended to become a universal verification tool for age checks, venue access, online platforms, and potentially even government services.
This turns your iPhone into a kind of passport for everyday life--a single device that proves who you are, where you can go, and what you're allowed to access.

Feds Drop The Hammer:
Antifa Groups Officially Designated Foreign Terror Organizations For First Time
Antifa Groups Officially Designated Foreign Terror Organizations For First Time
By Pamela Geller: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump Administration has designated four European Antifa groups as foreign terrorist organizations.
Marco Rubio: Today, building on the President’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups. (Marco Rubio on X)
So what does this mean?
It becomes a federal crime to provide any support to those groups.

End Of The American Dream
The U.S. Is On The Verge Of
One Of The Greatest Strategic Mistakes
In Modern History
One Of The Greatest Strategic Mistakes
In Modern History
By Michael Snyder: In recent decades, the U.S. has been involved in a string of disastrous regime change wars. Instead of learning our lesson, it appears that we are on the verge of starting another regime change war. Without a doubt, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is a really bad guy, and his nation produces vast quantities of illegal drugs that end up on the streets of major U.S. cities. But a regime change war in Venezuela would require an enormous commitment of military resources. It would be a huge strategic mistake to commit so much of our military firepower in South America at a time when fighting between Israel and Iran could break out again at any moment, when Russian forces are about to make a major breakthrough in Ukraine, and when the Chinese could make a move on Taiwan if they sense an opportunity to do so.
In addition, a regime change war would have very serious implications for our relations with other nations. The Europeans are telling us not to do this, many of our South American allies are telling us not to do this, and the Venezuelans have already reached out to Russia and China for help. If we ignore everyone else and go barreling into Venezuela anyway, the rest of the planet will be very displeased with us.
There is a world of difference between bombing a few drug boats and going to war with a nation that has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and that has a total population of more than 28 million people.
On Tuesday, the U.S. military destroyed yet another drug-trafficking boat, and everyone that was aboard was killed.
