Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Donald Trump is watching his presidency implode as he threatens war with Iran, the ‘truth’ about space aliens and a 15% tax on the entire world to distract from the Epstein Files.

What we are watching now with sitting president Donald Trump is truly historic, something the American people have not witnessed under any other president. A 15% tariff on the whole world. Promises to unveil the truth about aliens. Escalating rhetoric toward a soon all-out war with Iran. And yet none of it is enough to silence the growing storm surrounding the Epstein files. The more power that is flexed, the less control appears to exist.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJV)

The American Right once crowned Donald Trump as the bulwark against cultural decay, global corruption, and deep-state tyranny. He was framed as the man who would save a nation drifting from God. But now, the façade has cracked, and what we see is not triumph—but a prophetic unraveling of the world’s most-powerful nation in the last days.

One of the most glaring examples of this unraveling is Trump’s Board of Peace — a self-styled global governance body that was supposed to be his legacy-defining achievement on the world stage. Instead, it is revealing strategic confusion, lack of coherent accomplishment, and diplomatic rejection. Trump’s Board of Peace was formally established with much fanfare as an international peace and reconstruction mechanism for war-torn Gaza and beyond. It has a charter and ambitious goals to restore stability, lawful governance, and peace in conflict zones. But the reality on the ground tells a far different story.

On paper, Trump and his allies claimed billions in pledges and troop commitments to rebuild Gaza. In reality, despite announcements of $5-10 billion in pledges to rebuild, no reconstruction has yet begun. Gaza remains devastated, crushed under rubble and suffering without meaningful relief or transformation. Even the Vatican refused to join the Board, citing concern that it undermines the role of the United Nations — leaving Trump’s vision isolated on the world stage.

We have global tariffs slapped on the world economy — a geopolitical sledgehammer masquerading as economic policy. We have proclamations about revealing “alien truths” — a grand narrative diversion. We have escalating rhetoric toward confrontation with Iran — keeping the world on edge. And yet even these theatrics cannot bury the Epstein files, cannot stabilize Gaza, and cannot salvage Trump’s political momentum.

Is the presidency collapsing? Politically speaking, yes — Trump’s political capital and credibility are eroding under the weight of lies, contradictions and unmet promises. But what is truly collapsing is the myth that the next election, the next president, or the next political savior will save America. That belief has been shattered on the rocks of reality. America is lost, and there is none to save her. Donald Trump has become the Swamp and the Deep State embodied in a single person.

In the three weeks since the last release of the Epstein Files, a staggering amount of damage has been done. Hyatt Hotels heir Thomas Pritzker on Monday resigned his post as the executive chairman of the hotel company. Kathy Ruemmler announced last week that she was stepping down as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at the investment bank Goldman Sachs, effective June 30. DP World Limited, one of the largest logistics companies in the world, announced last week that its chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, had resigned, effective immediately. Peter Mandelson, a member of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, stepped down from the Labour Party earlier this month, after his name appeared in the newly released documents multiple times. And former prince of England Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday. Haverford College students and alumni are calling on the school to remove Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s name from its library after revelations about Lutnick’s ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. All this is just the tip of the iceberg, something that the Trump Department of Justice seems to have absolutely zero interest in investigating. That by itself tells you everything you need to know.

The longer it goes on, the closer it all gets to Trump, and at some point he will realize that, short of starting WWIII, he is powerless to do anything about it. Everything about his presidency is fake, all of it illusion, and the house of cards he has built is about to meet the storm that can’t be stopped. Q drop that.



Harbinger’s Daily
By Southwest Radio Ministries: AI technology has taken some twists and turns that should make even the most steadfast believer pause and reflect.

Today, YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok are filled with videos that appear real but are actually AI-generated fiction—cleverly crafted clickbait designed to capture our attention. Meanwhile, students from elementary classrooms to graduate schools are turning to AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and TextGuard AI to write, correct, and polish their assignments.

AI Goes To Church

Unfortunately, artificial intelligence isn’t just making its way into classrooms or workplaces. It’s slipping into the church, too.

Consider the “AI sermon generator,” which advertises: “Elevate your sermons!” A tempting offer—for a busy pastor… or for a false teacher. Late last year, for example, visitors to St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, found themselves face to face with a holographic “Jesus,” answering questions from within a lattice-covered confessional. The display sparked lively debate around the use of AI in pastoral care—and the reactions online were anything but Christlike.

And it doesn’t stop there. A quick search reveals numerous “chat-with-Jesus” applications available. The New York Times aptly described it as “Finding God in the app store.” Millions are now “conversing” with virtual Jesuses on their phones or computers, joining what some outlets call “a new digital awakening.” One Jesus-bot hails site visitors with: “Greetings, traveler. I am AI Jesus, here to illuminate your path. What burden weighs upon your heart?” Yet before long, it’s recommending a coffeemaker—while we wait endlessly for an answer that never comes.

We already know that some chatbots have gone dangerously astray, even suggesting self-harm to users. It’s not far-fetched to wonder: What might a rogue “AI Jesus” say to a vulnerable soul simply seeking truth?




Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Recently, Elon Musk posted a brief but striking comment on X in response to another user suggesting he explore the Christian faith: "I agree with the teachings of Jesus." This wasn't a formal declaration or a carefully crafted statement--it was a short reply in a comment thread. Yet it quickly sparked conversation, because it touches on something deeply familiar to Americans: the way faith is often treated as a set of ideas or cultural markers rather than a life-changing relationship.

How many times have we heard someone say, "My parents were Christians," or "I go to church," or "I believe in God"--and assumed that is the same as truly following Jesus? Musk's comment invites us to ask the same question we might ask ourselves: agreement with Christ's teachings is one thing; surrender to Him is something far deeper.

At first glance, agreeing with Jesus' teachings might seem enough. Love your neighbor, forgive those who wrong you, place others above yourself--these moral principles have shaped human history. Yet the Bible makes it clear that intellectual agreement is only the beginning. James writes, "Even the demons believe--and shudder" (James 2:19). Knowing what is true, or admiring wisdom, does not automatically reshape the heart or transform the life.

By Pamela Geller: What more has to happen for the American people to get a clue?



Front Page Magazine
By Daniel Greenfield: If I were pope and out on a mission to destroy the Catholic Church and western civilization, what would I be doing differently? Certainly encouraging the Islamic invasion of Europe would be high on the agenda.

And it continues to be high on Pope Leo’s agenda.
Even as Muslim boats carrying military age male migrants were penetrating European coastlines, Pope Leo warned that “those boats… cannot and must not find the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination!” All were called on to “work in the service of migrants” without “stereotypes and prejudices”. Or apparently self-defense and survival.

“To migrants I say: know that you are always welcome!” he declared, despite the ravages that Islamic mass migration had already inflicted on Europe, claiming that this would sustain a “Christianity that is more open, more alive and more dynamic” when in reality it was dooming a Christianity that was already on the decline to subservience to a hostile invading religion.
