Who Is The real Puppet Master??

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A lot of talk has been made about how Donald Trump has allowed Prime Minister Netanyahu to push him into attacking Iran. They seem to forget that every President has warned Iran to not develop nuclear weapons, even putting sanctions etc on the regime. As far back as 2012 I expressed an opinion that if the U.S. did not help Israel stop the nuclear plans of Iran that they, (Israel), would have to go it alone.

What should have been a quick and successfully war has now dragged on and on, why? Because of a failure by Trump to finish the job. Throughout the whole process of so called negotiations Iran continues to fire missiles and thumb their nose at America. On again off again attacks and warnings are a foolish school boy tactic that never works. I can’t remember how many times we are about to end the existence of Iran, which is nonsense, only to announce at the last minute renewed talks or agreements.

Let’s just say the real puppet masters could be Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Deals are what Trump lives for. He is not a politician or a tactician. He is a deal maker! Islamic $$ and deals hold him captive to failure. Once again a Muslim nation or nations have convinced Trump to stop the attacks and seek a deal. A deal that will fail.

The smartest man in the room is Netanyahu. He just keeps on protecting Israel while the so called geniuses in the room talk and talk. As an old country comedian said,”git er done”.

“Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the world and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal”. The president wrote.

And the beat goes on….. Rh

Christian Teacher Released from Prison After 700 Days for Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

This headline is enough to cause major concern over the state of the world. Have we lost our collective minds? Unfortunately due to the Gender Mafia and the radical Luciferian leftist who attempt to push their agenda, ungodly and unscientific agenda, this has happened far too often. We will not participate in your fantasy, it is not my truth and I will not honor a lie. Rh

An Irish teacher was released from prison in the latest stage of his legal battles against preferred pronoun policies — and related contempt of court charges — forcing him to violate Christian sexual ethics.

Enoch Burke, an evangelical Christian and former teacher at Wilson’s Hospital School in County Westmeath, was suspended from his teaching job in 2022 for objecting to a policy requiring staff to address so-called transgender students by their preferred pronouns, per a July 2 report from Christian Today.

He eventually received court orders telling him to stay away from the school, which he has refused to honor, resulting in him spending around 700 collective days in prison.

The High Court in Dublin ordered his latest release.

Israel Analysis

Elections

By Jim Fletcher copied from Koenig World Watch Daily

You can almost smell the desperation of Netanyahu’s political enemies to upend his political career. Rarely in my lifetime have I seen a more hated politician. I believe this is essentially due to the Netanyahu threat to globalism and Leftist pro-terrorism policies. I won’t fall into the left-wing trap of first listing his bad qualities. No quantifying things here.

I will focus on the things he’s accomplished for his people in the last 40 years. Fifty years ago, his older brother Jonathan fell at Entebbe, as hostages were rescued from terrorists and the Ugandan army. Bibi has said this is what drove him to politics. All three Netanyahu brothers served in the elite counter-terrorism unit, Sayeret Matkal.

Beginning in the early 80s, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu began what would become a robust political career. His perfect English, practiced in American schools, was the perfect match for his intellect and quick-study traits. Starting in the Israeli embassy, he networked heavily among Western diplomats and politicians. Combining humor and charm with sober-minded vigilance, he set out to make sure Israel stayed safe.

That was no small order back then, or now. Israel’s situation from a human perspective was always precarious. Bibi also at least understands the biblical issues. He and Menachem Begin are the only Israeli prime ministers to hold Bible studies at the residence in Jerusalem.

His father, Benzion, was a renowned history professor and fierce Zionist. Good for him. Unapologetic, he stood for Israel’s right to self-determination his whole life, and he knew early Zionists like Ze’ev Jabotinsky. The three Netanyahu brothers, growing up in a Jerusalem suburb, learned Zionism around the family dinner table.

Bibi won his first premiership in 1996, fending off Shimon Peres, who had lost his way by embracing disingenuous “peace” partners. He fell into the trap of thinking a robust economy would turn the “Palestinians” away from their thirst for Jewish blood. Nothing will, and some understood this. Charles Krauthammer once famously wrote about Peres’ vision for a “Maginot Line of five-star hotels” in Arab lands. Meaning, the “Palestinians” don’t care about no stinking robust economy. They remain committed to wiping Israel off the earth.

All this to say, we are now hearing from the usual suspects in Western media that Israel is ready to move on from Netanyahu in the upcoming October elections. He has served as prime minister for 19 of Israel’s modern 78 years. Remarkable.

His successes have infuriated his enemies, of whom there are many. I suspect the media reports of his political demise—which have been trotted out for years—are largely bogus. They are even now using Trump’s alleged movement away from Netanyahu in much the same way Clinton and Obama sent their goons to Israel to interfere in Israeli elections.

But the Israeli people, even those who dislike him, know that Netanyahu has held off the genocidal terrorists. Notwithstanding October 7—which was inevitable—Netanyahu has held the killers at bay for 30 years. Never pleasing everyone, he has retained his Zionism against political realities. I predict he will win again.

Until he does, he has some interesting foes. Recent polling (I rarely trust this form of propaganda, which is intended to persuade the masses, many of whom can’t think for themselves) suggests that Netanyahu’s chief rival is Gadi Eisenkot, a former general and chief of general staff. Allegedly, as of this week, his party, Yasher, holds a lead over Likud. Remember, Israeli elections depend on the party, even over the candidate.

Eisenkot, born in Eilat, has a glittering resume. He has a post-graduate degree from Haifa University and was a member of the elite Golani Brigade. 

He also advocates for a two-state solution and draft exemptions for a percentage of the haredim.

In other words, he’s a typical heroic IDF man that becomes dumb when he enters politics.

A two-state solution? 

Are you daft, man?

Israel, especially after 10/7, can never agree to give those devils a state. To do so is to commit suicide. This is the non-starter issue.

Also, a Wikipedia entry for Eisenkot says this:

“Eisenkot advocates for a state rooted in national-Jewish values but with equal rights for all citizens. He supports a two-state solution with the Palestinians, prioritizing the Jordan Valley and settlement blocs, and advocates a long-term ceasefire and demilitarization in the Gaza Strip.

“He views Syria, Lebanon, and Iran not as existential threats, but rather emphasizes the internal challenge of domestic polarization in Israel. Eisenkot advocates for a two-state solution with the Palestinians to maintain a Jewish-democratic state and avoid a bi-national state, but insists on retaining portions of the occupied West Bank, including the Jordan Valley and settlement blocs.”

Is he serious? Syria, Lebanon and Iran are not existential threats? 

This can’t be a serious candidacy. Do you really think Israelis would entrust their security to such a person?

I don’t. 

Oil Refineries Running at Full Speed

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

US oil refineries are running at full tilt as wars in the Middle East and Ukraine choke global supplies of fuels, increasing the risk of outages at a time when prices are already rising sharply.

Refineries across the US are running at 96 per cent of their capacity, with those in the Midwest and Rocky Mountains regions operating at 100 per cent, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

Washington has released about 77 per cent of the 172mn barrels from the country’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve that it pledged in March to use as a cushion for the supply shock from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and to keep prices low.

The SPR, which is held in underground salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana, has fallen to 311mn barrels, its lowest level since 1983. Its operational minimum, below which further withdrawals risk damaging infrastructure and disrupting pipeline operations, is estimated at 180mn to 200mn barrels, according to industry analysts. Source: Financial Times

I remember the OPEC oil embargo that hit the US back in the early 1970s. Long gas lines, even an odd and even lottery type ability to bet gas based on the days of the week. Oil prices quadrupled across the country. In this day and age of civil unrest over pronouns and other such nonsense, I can only imagine the chaos which would result from that type of situation now. This has always been the fear that the action in Iran could produce another oil shortage of immense proportions. Trump, you had them, now it MUST be finished to stabilize oil markets and bring economies back on line. Rh

Syrian President Meets With Trump

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Once again the bromance between Trump and the Syrian President throws a monkey wrench into Israeli security. Trump desperately wants to be a statesman, but leaving Netanyahu alone to do what is best for Israel would be the proper call. Reposted from All Israel News. Rh

President Donald Trump asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remove Israeli troops from Lebanon and Syria in a recent phone call, Axios reports.

“They don’t want you there. You should redeploy,” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu in a phone conversation last Thursday, according to a U.S. official who spoke with Axios.

According to Israel Hayom, Trump conveyed the Syrian demand for the withdrawal of IDF troops from its territory, but did not present it as an American demand.

The phone call between the two leaders came a day after Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey.

A New Political Party

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For many years now, I have wished that we could have a third political party in the United States of America. A true conservative party that is espouses moral and traditional Christian values, as well as putting the people first. The tea party attempted to do that back a few years ago, but the establishment ruling class would have none of it.  TheRepublicans hated losing power and fought against it and it eventually failed. I understand the way our government is set up that a third-party really is almost impossible, however this new effort by Mr. Islamic sympathizer Tucker and MTG, as well as other haters of Israel , their party is doomed for failure. It will be nothing more than Israel and Christian bashing. NO thank you. 

What we need is a Christian conservative party in this country. As I said, one that has morally conservative values. The only problem with that is that Christians won’t support it. Many of them don’t want to be associated with anything “political”.  Many aren’t registered to begin with and with Pastors turning deaf and dumb on speaking from pulpits on moral issues. We have a problem. We are supposed to be  salt and light in a dark and wicked world. I believe that Jesus wants to be Lord over all  areas of life. That includes politics. The attitude of many pastors and churches is that we don’t do politics. What if the issues of the day are moral issues that are trying to invade the church with demonic doctrine. It’s time for the church to stand up and fight the good fight of faith outside the four walls of the church. In politics, absolutely.  Government touches every area of our life from jobs, education, taxes, and the week being of our citizens. Government was ordained and established by God.(Romans 13)  The idiocy of what the church does by ducking its head and hiding inside the four walls of a church, amounts to a moral failure.  All these moral issues are being discussed and voted on in the halls of Congress or in governors’ mansions across the country. So let’s just drop our heads and allow ungodliness to rule and reign.  I don’t think Jesus is happy that the church gives up the rulership of this country to evil people. We are never going to wipe out evil, nor do we wish a theocratic government, but a moral one is well within our reach.  

It’s too bad a third-party won’t work, and it is too bad that it can’t be a true conservative party. Whatever  in the world that Tucker Carlson is going to try to do is not going  conservative and it’s not going to be moral either.  It will be a far right anti-Israel.  After all that is all he condemns.  It will not have  moral values.  What it is, it’s a bunch of people that are really Libertarian Democrat lite.  That have decided to take their ball and find another court so they can play on, and tear this nation apart.

My oh my, God must be shaking his head and wondering, will they ever learn?  Rh

AI Zillionaires Are Starting to Get Scared as the Public Turns Against Them

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Data centers “have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating.”

By Joe Wilkins

Published Jun 29, 2026 9:07 AM EDT

There’s no doubt that the broader public has turned against AI in a serious way. 

In the United States, a YouGov pol found that three-quarters of Americans think AI should be more heavily regulated, an anxiety shared across the political aisle, the Economist observed. The US populace is likewise increasingly fearful of the economic impacts of AI, especially as powerful tech companies pour money into state and federal elections.

As that anger boils over, people are increasingly channeling their frustration toward data centers — one of the few tangible points of leverage ordinary people have against an otherwise untouchable, trillion-dollar tech industry.

The world’s tech billionaires are taking notice, carving out distant island compounds and private jet fleets in case of revolution. Mark Cuban, who made his vast fortune during the dot-com boom and has publicly beefed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is now warning his fellow moguls that the public’s discontent runs far deeper than AI.

Cuban tweeted that “it’s time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers. They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating.”

Whether the public is really as unconcerned about soaring electricity prices, water shortages, and pollution, as Cuban makes it out to be remains to be seen — but at least, the billionaire class appears to be paying at least some degree of attention.

Evidently fearful that AI backlash could spiral into some kind of socialist revolt, the billionaire offered a laundry-list of ways the tech industry could placate the apparently witless public. These include donating billions of dollars to small towns and cities, extending an olive branch to artists and creative unions, and ignoring the temptation to hire famous people to endorse AI.

“If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far, far short of the capacity you need to make your business work,” Cuban wrote.

AI is far more insidious than anyone knows. It is a forerunner to the anti-christ beast system seen in Daniel and Revelation. As a Christian I see it as further proof of Biblical Prophecy being played out. I fear what may become if AI is truly implemented, loss of freedoms, total control of everything and everywhere we go. It will be a bondage system, making slaves of the “common people”. I haven’t even mentioned loss of jobs and dependance on an AI government. Which will come. A world of the haves and the nave nots. Have you read the book 1984?? Time to dust it off. Rh

Entebbe

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I remember this happening in real time. A different time where heroes still acted selflessly for their country. A daring raid, hostages saved and the bad guys put down. Courage is contagious, may we stand as strong for America as Israel has and will for their country. Enjoy the article taken from Koenig World Watch Daily. Rh

Entebbe

By Jim Fletcher

I will depart this week from the regular topics, because this weekend is the 50th anniversary of the famous Entebbe hostage rescue. It remains my favorite story, and one I call a modern Bible story.

I am honestly bothered that more people don’t know about it, or care about it. It is I believe the most electrifying hostage rescue of all time. I have a slight personal connection, which you’ll see. And, as we celebrated our Bicentennial in 1976, Israeli commandos were about to surprise the world. I remember it often and have read several books. The audacity of the entire operation is still totally astonishing.

On June 27, 1976, a French passenger jet refueled at Athens, headed for Paris. As soon as the plane got back in the air, terrorists stood up with guns. Two German (Baader-Meinhof Gang) and some from the PLFP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine). They shocked everyone by ordering the plane south. Very far south. To that point, airplane hijackings had become popular, but the planes usually stayed close. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped thwart one in a daring operation in Israel in 1972. At the time, he was a member of the elite counter-terrorism force, Sayeret Matkal (General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, or, the Unit).

In ’76, terror gargoyles like Yasser Arafat were modifying their violent plans. This time, the plane was flown to Uganda, in the heart of Africa. An airport near the town of Entebbe was chosen, as it was under the control of dictator psychopath Idi Amin. At one time friendly to Israel, he had thrown in his lot with terrorists.

Fairly soon, all passengers not Jewish were freed. This was the first mistake by the goons, because valuable intelligence was gained by interviewing the freed passengers.

Universally, everyone understood that Israel could not mount a rescue operation. It was too far away. A mere 2,500 miles from Israel! That ruled out a rescue effort. Each evening, grave-looking news anchors speculated on the hostage situation. Israel had never negotiated with terrorists, so this was a unique moment. The pressure on the Israel cabinet, by hostage families, was enormous. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin finally announced they would negotiate. The lives of 105 people hung in the balance. The terrorists demanded the release of other terrorists held in European and Israeli jails.

An Israeli pilot, Joshua Shani, had a germ of an idea in his head. He shared it with some of the brass (Shimon Peres was then defense minister). His plan was to land transport planes at Entebbe, at night, as if they were passenger jets. In the end, that’s actually what they did.

It worked.

Israel stalled for time with diplomacy. The terrorists pushed the deadline out to Sunday morning, July 4. If Israel did not comply, the hostages would be murdered.

While Western journalists and politicians offered no solutions, four C-47 transport planes were circling Lake Victoria, next to the airport. At exactly midnight, July 4, they landed. One was a hospital plane, while the others held 200 commandos, including the Unit in the lead plane. Within five minutes, the critical part of the operation was over. The Unit drove a mile to the terminal building, eliminated the terrorists, and began loading stunned hostages onto rescue planes. They flew another eight hours back to Israel, to a cheering country that saw the planes overhead, back in Israeli airspace. All terrorists were eliminated, as was the Ugandan air force, so no one could follow.

In 2002, I interviewed two of the commandos that went to Entebbe, one a member of the famed Golani Brigade—Surin Hershko—and a member of the Unit that was the first one in the door. The second man said that the IDF had to have the element of surprise foremost. 

They did.

He said that as he burst through the front door (with his weapon, a megaphone to shout to hostages, and five kilos of explosives), “A German terrorist lying on the floor fired at me first—I felt bullets and glass go past my head and neck, but nothing hit me!” He then fired back, instantly killing the German. Another Unit member went in right behind him and fired to the left. Within seconds, all terrorists in the building were killed.

Hershko is one of my favorite people of all time. That night, he met a man and woman on the outside stairs; Surin was headed to the roof. A quick shot from the man’s revolver has left Surin as a quadriplegic these last 50 years. I met him at his lovely home in Tel Aviv (he’s a businessman) and a Korean assistant led me inside. The hour I spent with this hero is imprinted on my mind and heart.

I asked him why he had volunteered to go to Entebbe.

“The people were in danger,” he said matter-of-factly. He also said that if he had to, he’d go again. The rareness of his courage indicts most of the rest of us. While socialist thugs and know-nothing college students condemn Israel day and night, they are also protected—ironically—by Israel, which provides a serious obstacle for the gargoyles that practice terrorism. Surin breathes through a tube that allows him to speak. I felt very small in his presence.

These men are authentic heroes. 

I also had the privilege of knowing Prof. Benzion Netanyahu the last decade of his long life. The father of the three Netanyahu sons that all served in the Unit, he was a fascinating historian and political commentator that knew far more and was far wiser than most. His oldest son, Jonathan (Yoni) was the only IDF soldier killed at Entebbe. The cabinet, in approving such a dangerous operation, felt they would take 20 percent casualties. At least 40 men killed and wounded. Instead, they had one and one. Surin is a testament to that.

I spent several evenings with Benzion at his home in Jerusalem. He said that Yoni always jumped into the danger point. Yoni was unusually gifted and courageous. Shani remembers one day on base, talking to a fellow pilot. Yoni walked past them. Shani told his friend, “There goes the greatest fighter Israel has ever had.” Younger brothers Benjamin and Iddo also served. They collected Yoni’s letters to family and friends and produced the book, Self-Portrait of a Hero.

One evening, as I got up to leave, Benzion picked up a stack of photos from a table in the hallway. They were of the boys when they were young. One was of Yoni with his parents, and he was not much more than a toddler. A bust of this hero son sat in the family dining room, a few feet away.

I remember them all, all the time. 

As I lovingly remember the founding of my own remarkable country this weekend, I will also remember 50 years ago: a plane descending, landing, vehicles moving along the tarmac, headed for a terminal building.

Those heroic men are always emerging from vehicles, sprinting toward the defenseless and their temporary tormenters. 

Very temporary.

Today we live in a culture that is soft and passive. Placating evil.

But on the night of July 3,4, 1976 in Africa, something wondrous was unfolding. A team of Joshuas put their lives on the line to rescue people that didn’t know them. Their stories are so astonishing, at times I wonder if it really happened.

It did happen. What unfolded speaks to the eternality of the Jewish people, and of Israel.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Who Do You Believe??

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The future use of Iranian funds has long been one of the most politically sensitive issues surrounding any agreement with Tehran.

Who do you believe, that is the question. I am not calling Vance and Trump liars, but there is no way the Iranian regime is going to do what Vance said they would do.

Even if they did distribute some of the money to be used for food, that would only allow them to divert other monies to re-claim their missile program or their nuclear ambitions.

If we give him the benefit of the doubt and say Vance truly believes the Iranians, it tells me he is a novice at best, and a fool at worst. Harsh words maybe, but accurate. So do we have a deal or is this just propaganda on both sides? Or are the Iranians lying, and if they are we need to continue the war.

One final note, in the Muslim faith they have a word to describe the act of deceiving or lying to a mon Muslim. It is called “Taqiyya.” You see the Islamist use their faith as military action, not as a true religion. So there we have it, whatever is finally agreed upon will never be what Iran will do. Guarantee that for a fact.

Forty-seven years of failure and now we are so close to total victory. Mr. President, finish the job. Demand complete and total surrender. On our terms. Rh

Epilogue: I will have more at another time on Vance, he has proven himself not ready for the big stage!

Update:

The regime doesn’t change its spots, and as Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out this past weekend, the regime in Tehran has, and will continue to be, the driving force behind Middle East terror and turmoil.

“Every problem in the Middle East tracks back to Iran,” Rubio stressed. “Hezbollah—Iran. Shia militias that are destroying and threatening Iraq—Iran. Hamas—Iran. The Houthis—Iran. Assad when he was in Syria—Iran. Everywhere you turn, they’re behind all of it.”

“They are a destabilizing, dangerous, evil force that had to be dealt with,” he emphasized. “They have to be weakened.” Quote from Secretary Marco Rubio
