Germany: According to a poll by the Forsa Institute for Social Research and Statistical Analysis if a national election was held today, Alternative for Germany (AfD) would receive 26 percent of the vote. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative bloc, was in second place.

Israel: Energy company Leviathan just signed a $35 BILLION deal to supply natural gas to Egypt. This is Israel’s largest export deal in the nation’s young history.   After several years, a luxury eco-hotel that international film star Leonardo DiCaprio has 10 percent ownership, has been approved. The 365 rooms on 14 floors will be built at the Herzliya Marina near Tel Aviv.

 Spain: On August 3, beach goers were enjoying the sand, sun and water at Sotillo Beach in the Granada town of Castell de Ferro. Suddenly, a boat came close to shore and several migrants (believed to be from North Africa) jumped out fully clothes to illegally enter Spain. Organically, Spaniards rose up to stop the invasion, beating and holding the men until police arrived per the Spanish paper El Mundo. 

UK: According to a recent Ipsos survey, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has taken a nine-point lead over Labour: 34 to 25 percent. Conservatives only had 15 percent. If the general election were held now, Farage would be elected prime minister. 

“Free speech has NOT been abolished in the UK. And we’ll jail anyone who says it has been.” Keir Starmer, United Kingdom Prime Minister

UK Trans Judge Appeals to European Court to Challenge ‘Sex Is Biological’ Ruling - Britain’s “first transgender judge” is attempting to go over the head of the UK Supreme Court, appealing to European judges in Strasbourg in a bid to overturn a ruling earlier this year affirming biological sex.....

British Government 'Lost Track' of over 150,000 Migrants - The British government has admitted that it has no idea whether over 150,000 legal migrants who entered the country on social care visas are still in the UK or not.......

Warning From The United Kingdom For American Christians We cannot allow our nation to go the way of the UK. It's time to stop being passive and actively and unabashedly further the relevant teachings of Jesus in the public square .........

Why Doesn't the World Care About Christians?

 Per a United Nations report on global humanitarian aid, in 2024 Gaza received approximately $1.8 BILLION out of a $4 BILLION total. However, according to the American Jewish Congress, only 30-40 percent reached civilians in Gaza, the rest went in Hamas’s pockets.

Why aren’t Christians receiving the billions of dollars in aid?

Christian singer prevented from holding planned concerts in Canada  - Christians are one of the most persecuted religious groups worldwide (perhaps the most persecuted), and hatred of Christians fluorishes in postmodern Canada. More than one hundred churches have been torched since 2021, following the unfounded claim that “soil disturbances” on the grounds of the former Indian Residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia were the remains of 215 First Nations children who attended that school. Four years have passed, and still no excavations, perhaps because authorities fear being caught in a lie(?). 

Meanwhile, churches continue to burn, and there is seemingly no will to prosecute arsonists. Of course, we must be fair to the Canadian justice system. They are much too busy persecuting and prosecuting peaceful protesters and seeking seven- and eight-year jail terms for Freedom (Trucker) Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber respectively. For good measure, they are even seeking to impound Barber’s truck, thereby depriving him of his livelihood should he avoid jail time. You can’t make this up................Since when does religious freedom require a permit from government?..............
