Now The End Begins
 After Trump Was Smuggled Off Air Force One In A Catering Truck, Gulf States Now Accept That An ‘Obliterated’ Iran Controls The Strait Of Hormuz

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
The Catering Truck Escape Of President Trump Exposes How An Iran Declared ‘Decimated And Obliterated’ Remains Dangerous And In Control Of Hormuz Despite Months Of American Bombing

America was told that Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” but the truth of the matter is that when President Trump visited Turkey last month, credible threats from Iran forced the Secret Service to extract the president and smuggle him out hidden inside a catering truck, and flown to safety on an alternate Air Force One. As you let that sink in, ask yourself, what does that tell you? It tells me that we have been lied to about the Iran War from start to finish. How do you reconcile the endless boasting and bragging from the Department of War on how America “decimated” Iran with the mental picture of Trump and Hegseth hiding in a catering truck because Iran made some threats? The photo at the top of this article shows you the actual container that Trump and Hegseth were hidden in. This is beyond shameful and unacceptable, and as American patriots, we cannot, and must not, abide this deception any longer.

“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJV)

Faced with what American officials reportedly considered a credible Iranian assassination threat, Trump did exactly what the president of the United States should have done: he followed the security plan designed to keep him alive. The scandal is not that Trump got into the catering truck. The scandal is that America was repeatedly told Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” while the people protecting the president privately believed Tehran still possessed the reach, intelligence and operational capability to threaten his life in a NATO country. That’s the bombshell hiding underneath the sensational headline. According to a report published by the New York Post, President Trump publicly boarded the familiar blue-and-white Air Force One following the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8. Television cameras recorded the presidential departure, reporters boarded the plane, White House personnel took their seats, and everything appeared normal. But it was all a decoy.

 Israel Was Just Directly Threatened By A
Nuclear-Armed Islamic Nation—And It’s Not Iran

By Erick Stakkelbeck: Israel was just threatened by a nuclear-armed Islamic nation—and it wasn’t Iran.

Iran’s nuclear weapons program has been mostly obliterated by the U.S. and Israeli militaries over the past 14 months—thanks to the bold leadership of President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Pakistan, however, currently possesses approximately 170 nuclear warheads. It’s the only Islamic nation that has the bomb, and over the weekend, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif made some very disturbing comments about the world’s one and only Jewish state.

Asif called Israel an “illegitimate state” and “a threat to the entire Muslim world.” He demanded all Islamic nations unite militarily against Israel, especially over the Palestinian issue. Again, this is the Defense Minister for a nuclear-armed Islamic nation!

His comments came as a new defense pact was announced between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.



Prophecy News Watch

By PNW Staff: Something unusual is about to happen in the heavens.

Before sunrise on August 12, six planets will be spread across the morning sky. Later that same day, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and sun, producing a total solar eclipse across portions of the Northern Hemisphere. Then, as darkness falls, one of the year's most spectacular meteor showers will be reaching its peak.

It will be quite a day to look up.

NASA confirms that the August 12 total solar eclipse will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain and a small portion of Portugal. Parts of North America, Europe and Africa will experience a partial eclipse.

At roughly the same time, the Planetary Society says a six-planet "parade" will stretch across the predawn sky for several mornings. Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune will all be present, although Uranus and Neptune will require optical assistance to see.

And then there are the Perseids.

 The Texas Paradox: A State That Loves Israel, But Jews Are Still Six Times More Likely To Be Hate Crime Targets

By Tamar Stein: Jews have been the target of 18 hate crimes in Texas so far this year, making up roughly 5% of the state’s 345 recorded hate crimes, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Uniform Crime Reporting system. Jews make up an estimated 0.72% of the state’s population, meaning they have been targeted at close to six times the rate their numbers alone would predict. The pattern is not new. In 2025, Jews were the target of 41 of the state’s 599 recorded hate crimes, 6.8% of the total, and over the twelve months from August 2025 to today, Jews accounted for 40 of 639 incidents, 6.3%. Arabs and Muslims, the next most disproportionately targeted religious minority, were named in about 4% of incidents across the same periods. Governor Greg Abbott announced Friday that overall crime in Texas fell 13% in 2025, the third consecutive year of decline, crediting bail reform and tougher enforcement of repeat offenders. Whatever is driving that broader improvement has not extended proportionately to the state’s Jewish community.

That statistical overrepresentation sits beside a fact that makes it genuinely strange: Texas is arguably the most institutionally pro-Israel state in the country, home to the country’s largest Christian Zionist organization, a governor who has built part of his political identity around defending the Jewish state, and an evangelical population numbering in the tens of millions that overwhelmingly believes supporting Israel is a matter of biblical obligation.

 Pakistani Muslim Kills Christian Coworker For Drinking Water

By Hugh Fitzgeraldr: In Pakistan, Christians are ordinarily confined to low-paying and menial jobs — sweeping streets, cleaning latrines, making and hauling bricks. This is a way to keep them in a state of permanent need and humiliation. And Muslims who employ them, or who may even work at the same site, are careful to remind them of their lowly state. A new story from Pakistan is about a Muslim who murdered a Christian who had dared to take a drink from a water cooler that, the Muslim claimed, was off-limits to Christians. More on this ghastly, but not unusual, tale can be found here.

 Mamdani’s Wife To Travel To Al Qaeda State With NYPD After September 11

Something Has Gone Very Wrong In New York City

By Daniel Greenfield: Something has gone wrong somewhere along the way in America and New York City.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji is heading to Syria and Lebanon next month – and she’s bringing along cops assigned to the First Couple’s taxpayer-funded NYPD detail, The Post has learned.

Duwaji will be jetting to the Middle East for a trip beginning Sept. 20 to the countries on the State Department’s “Do Not Travel” list for Americans because of dangerous conditions, a source said. Duwaji, a 29-year-old Syrian-American artist, has ties to the region and refers to herself as a “Syrian Illustrator” on her website. Her parents are Syrian Muslims originally from Damascus.
Syrian was taken over by Al Qaeda and ISIS Jihadis as part of a Turkish backed coup. Lebanon continues to be dominated by Hezbollah.

Both Islamic terror groups have a lot of American blood on their hands.

They’re the sort of enemies that the NYPD used to track, now they’re providing security for an Islamic terror supporter traveling to an Al Qaeda state in the wake of the 25th anniversary of September 11.




End Of The American Dream
By Michael Snyder: Did you know that there are only 8 nations on the entire planet where you can get an abortion all the way up to birth? One of them is the United States. There are now 10 states (plus Washington D.C.) that have no gestational limits on abortion. Sadly, it is likely that even more states will soon join this list. What we are doing to these babies is a crime against humanity that is so great that I don’t even have the words to adequately condemn it. If we continue to kill children on an industrial scale in America, there isn’t going to be a future for America.

On Monday, Massachusetts became the latest state to allow abortions all the way up to birth.

 They’re Getting Ready... The Pieces Are in Place

Pastor Tom Hughes: Something is happening in Israel—and the pieces are beginning to come together. Pastor Tom Hughes sits down with Mondo Gonzales of Prophecy Watchers for a fascinating conversation about the red heifers, preparations connected to the Temple, and why these developments matter to students of Bible prophecy.

Are we watching preparations today that could play a role in future biblical events? Mondo brings his knowledge of Scripture, archaeology, and Israel to help separate speculation from what is actually taking place. As the world changes and preparations continue, one thing is certain: God’s Word is true, His plan is unfolding, and our hope remains firmly in Jesus Christ.
