I want to talk about The Antichrist Who Shall Not Be Named.

And by that I mean channels such as mine who talk about the person who lines up with the biblical Antichrist are in my opinion being suppressed. I say that because despite repeated attempts to promote my videos, I keep getting the message that these are election advertising.

And I've been getting this message for over 5 years. This despite the fact that my videos are about Bible prophecy and the person who matches the biblical descriptions for the Antichrist described in those prophecies is not up for election anytime soon. Read more

Is it a sitcom? Is it a Miami manosphere convention? No, it's Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate fanboys fighting for their freedom. A few blocks from the federal detention centre where the brothers are currently being held following their 18 July arrests, "Top G" loyalists gathered in Downtown Miami to demand their release, in a rather unique way. Footage soon surfaced online of a bunch of grown men (in 34-degree heat, mind you) dropping to the ground and doing push-ups as a form of protest. Ah yes, very Alpha. And if push-ups with questionable form weren't enough, they also came equipped with handwritten signs reading, "Thank you Andrew Tate for teaching us BRAVERY!" and "Tates are heroes"

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra have huddled inside their homes for days on end, unable to leave because of the threat posed by Israeli settlers.

The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul are proposing staff layoffs and significant property tax hikes in order address budget shortfalls in both cities. Those potential increases come at a time when frustrations about property taxes are at an all-time high in Minnesota. In Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey proposed raising the city's property tax levy by 11.3% and cutting 100 city jobs as part of his 2027 budget address. The layoffs and tax increase would help tackle a $60 million budget shortfall the city is facing.

Thanks to the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we are making America safe again."


When reporters in the Oval Office asked Dummkopf Trumpf about Democratic Party candidates in the midterm elections, the number one recipient of AIPAC money on the planet bleated: "We have jihadists being elected all over the place. We have this -- whether it's communism, jihadism."

In addition to MBS, Dummkopf Trumpf previously hosted former ISIS emir Ahmed al-Sharaa and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) in the Oval Office


The fragile monthlong ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran appears set to expire Monday absent a last-minute deal to extend it and potentially end the war between the two nations. A senior White House official, granted anonymity to share details of the negotiating process, described the situation between the two countries as "static" ahead of the Monday ceasefire expiration deadline. The official had not heard of any forthcoming extension as of Friday afternoon. "It doesn't matter how close or how far we are," the official said. "What matters is if Iran wants to come to the table and agree to a deal. Right now, they haven't done that."

Donald Trump seemed to channel Jeffrey Epstein just a bit today, as he referenced 'beautiful young girls' coming to visit him at the White House. Here's a moment of that speech. And I have to warn you ahead of time, it IS a bit creepy.
