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:
• Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as mayor of New York on the Qur’an and claims he wants to replace individualism with “the warmth of collectivism.”
• Mamdani used his first day in office yesterday to hit the ground running with new executive orders targeting city landlords and housing development. He said that the city will take precedent setting action to intervene in the private landlord bankruptcy case he said was tied to 93 buildings.
• The Council on American/Islamic Relations of New York called Mamdani’s inauguration, “a historic moment of progress for American Muslims and the entire nation.”
• Mamdani announced that Ramzi Kassem, a 9-11 terror lawyer, is going to serve as the city’s occupying chief counsel.

• U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that the Department of Justice has already arrested and charged 98 individuals with fraud in Minnesota, 85 of whom are of Somali descent.
• A child care center licensed under Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration raised eyebrows by having a publicly listed phone number leading to Walz’s office.

• Some federal TSA agents are revealing details of how Somali men have been flying potentially billions of dollars out of the U.S. inside their carry-on luggage in recent years with no one stopping them.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Chris Katulka: Since the fall in Genesis 3, when Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord’s one command, God has been on a mission to redeem what has fallen. The Lord has been fighting ever since the fall to win us back to Him.
Through the Scriptures God has revealed to us His blueprint on how He intends to fulfill His ultimate plan of redemption for all creation.
The book of Genesis defines early on how God plans to redeem all that has fallen. To redeem all that has been lost God chose a man, Abraham, who would be a father to a people called the nation of Israel. Through Abraham and his descendants God promised, “in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3). This promise would eventually be fulfilled through one of Abraham’s descendants.
In the Old Testament God used the nation of Israel as His representatives on Earth to display His holiness through the Law He gave at Sinai, and that they were to live out the Law in the land He promised to them, Israel. God considered the sons of Israel His “kingdom of priests” because they were to proclaim His Word, intercede on behalf of the nations, and introduce people to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and His redemptive plan through atonement.
As you continue to read through the Old Testament you find that the broad definition of God’s plan of redemption in Genesis 12 becomes even more elucidated as He continues to reveal His plan to Israel. By the end of the Old Testament you understand that God is sending a future King to the Israelites (2 Samuel 7:13), who is also God’s Son (2 Samuel 7:14). You know where the future King of Israel would be born (Micah 5:2); you know He’s divine, (Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 7:13-14); and you also know, according to Scripture, that He must suffer on our behalf in order to accomplish the ultimate plan of redemption God has predestined (Isaiah 53).
That descendant of Abraham who would fulfill these prophecies from the Old Testament and accomplish redemption is King Jesus, the Messiah! Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:4–7), He manifested His divine power through miracles He performed when He was on Earth, He suffered on the cross on our behalf, enduring the wrath of God (Matthew 27:32–6), and gloriously resurrected to prove He has accomplished redemption (Matthew 28:6). Amen!

Prophecy News Watch
By Casey Harper/The Washington Stand: A common crime of American politics occurs when a politician jazzes up the base with partisan rhetoric only to transform into a muddled centrist after Election Day. At least for now, New York City's smiling socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is not guilty of that crime. But if he keeps on this track, he'll be guilty of much worse.
Mamdani's January 1 inauguration ushers in what the wet-behind-the-ears mayor calls a "new era" of Democratic Socialist leadership for the largest city in the nation -- the same nation that defeated the Soviets, by the way.
He was sworn in twice, first just after midnight at a private ceremony in a defunct subway station and then again at a block party in the afternoon.
"We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe," Mamdani said during remarks at his second ceremony. "I was elected as a Democratic Socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical."

Israel 365 News
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: The Judean Desert is usually silent. Its riverbeds are empty scars in stone, reminders of water that once flowed and will again. This week, that silence was broken. After heavy rains in the mountains of Judea, a sudden flash flood tore through Nahal Qumran—the desert ravine that descends past the cliffs near the ancient settlement of Qumran and empties into the Dead Sea, manifesting the verse from Psalms (Tehillim 126) “Restore, O LORD, our fortunes like the dry riverbeds in the Negev”.
Nahal Komran—known in English as the Qumran Stream—runs through one of the most historically charged landscapes in Israel. The area is associated with the Second Temple–era Jewish community commonly identified with the Dead Sea Scrolls, manuscripts that preserved the Hebrew Bible with astonishing accuracy across millennia. The stream itself is normally bone-dry, its steep limestone walls and narrow passages shaped not by constant flow but by rare, overwhelming force. When rain falls in the Judean highlands, water gathers rapidly and funnels into the desert wadis, producing flash floods that can arrive without warning and with lethal power.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: The World’s Capital of Capitalism. Mamdani has all but declared war on New York City — where capitalism built the modern world.
Communist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ushers in dark era for the once Big Apple. Pledges to replace individualism with collectivism, big government, and other horrors in chilling inauguration speech. God help New York City.
Newly sworn-in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to lead the Big Apple into “the warmth of collectivism” – a clearly Marxist/communist reference – as he delivered his inauguration speech Thursday.
Mamdani also embraced the term “democratic socialist,” saying, “”I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist.”

By Daniel Greenfield: You may remember Julie Su from multiple failed confirmation hearings during the Biden administration. Even by the standards of the Biden administration, the $32 billion in fraud that happened on Su’s watch seemed like it might be a bit too much.
Under Su, the head of California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, an estimated $32.6 billion in unemployment insurance EDD fraud took place.
And when I say fraud took place, I mean the kind of fraud that a small child could have spotted. Literally. One of the applicants was using the name “Poopy Pants.”

Leo Hohmann’s Newsletter
By Leo Hohmann: I was hoping that 2025 would be the year Americans woke up and realized they’re being played — unnecessarily divided and played, one group off against another.
I was hoping that they would break out of the Fox News/CNN/MSNBC matrix. I hoped they would see the world as it really is, not as the warmongering neocons and neolibs in Washington want us to see it — with a foreign boogieman lurking around every corner.
Many did whisk the sleep from their eyes enough to see that the biggest enemy is our own government and its corporate “partners” in Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Agriculture. But not nearly enough. Too many remain in a media-induced trance focused on the wrong things, on issues that have already been decided at the public-policy level, or on problems that spark lip service and public outrage from politicians who have no intention of fixing them.
