PURE EVIL: Iran-Backed Hezbollah Terrorists Kill At Least 11 in Israel Including Several Children After Rocket Strikes Playground – Israel Vows Revenge by Cullen Linebarger

On Saturday, Israel experienced the worst attack on its soil since the Hamas invasion on October 7th, which left 1,200 people dead and 240 others kidnapped by the terrorists.

The New York Post reported that at least 11 people, primarily children and very young adults, were slaughtered when a Hezbollah rocket hit a soccer field in Israel-controlled Golan Heights.

Israeli officials confirmed that the attack by Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, targeted the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams.

In addition to the 11 killed, 40 morewere reported injured in the attack, with some listed in critical condition.

The Post reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now racing back to Israel from Washington, DC. Netanyahu was still in the nation’s capital on Saturday after addressing Congress Wednesday and meeting with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said he discussed the cowardly terror strike with Netanyahu. He also declared that “Hezbollah crossed all red lines” and Israel was now “facing an all-out war” with the terror group.

Katz then warned Hezbollah would pay a high toll for its actions and was confident Israel would have the full support of the United States and Europe when they decided to ultimately retaliate.

Given Hezbollah’s close ties with Iran, this attack raises the possibility of an eventual all-out war between Iran and Israel. This possibility dramatically increases should Democrats seize another four years in the White House with Kamala Harris as the new regime leader.

Independence Day: Our Christian Heritage

The Birth of a Nation

For over 235 years, America has been blessed as the longest on-going Constitutional Republic in the history of the world. These blessings are not accidental, they are blessings of God. This is evident as we look at the turmoil in other nations and contrast that to the stability we see in America. Preserving American liberty depends first upon our understanding of the foundations on which this great country was built, and then it depends on preserving the principles on which it was founded.

On July 2, 1776, Congress voted to approve a complete separation from England. Two days later, the early draft of the Declaration of Independence was signed. Four days later, members of Congress took the document and read it out loud from the steps of Independence Hall, proclaiming it to the city of Philadelphia, and afterward, they rang the Liberty Bell. The inscription on the top of the bell is Leviticus 25:10 , which reads, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.”

John Adams said, “The general principles on which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity.” Probably the clearest identification of the spirit of the American Revolution was given by John in a letter to Abigail the day after Congress approved the Declaration. He wrote her two letters that day: One was short and jubilant that the Declaration had been approved; the other letter was much longer and gave serious consideration to what had been done that day. Adams could already foresee that their actions would be celebrated by future generations.

A Different Holiday

Adams also noted: “This day will be the most memorable epic in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.” He felt the celebration should be in a manner that would commemorate the day as a “day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” John Adams believed that the Fourth of July should be a religious holiday. The two top holidays celebrated in this country are Christmas and the Fourth of July. According to John Quincy Adams, the two dates are connected. On the Fourth of July, the Founding Fathers simply took the precepts of Christ and His birth (Christmas) and incorporated those principles into civil government.

The Declaration of Independence was the birth certificate for this nation, but the men who signed it knew it could be their death warrant. The closing paragraph states, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance of the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” The 56 Founding Fathers, 27 of whom were trained as ministers, took their pledge seriously. On the morning of the signing, there was silence and gloom as each man was called up to the table of the President of Congress to sign the document, knowing that it could mean their death by hanging.

Most wars have a motto. The motto of World War II was “Remember Pearl Harbor.” The motto during the Texas war for independence was “Remember the Alamo.” The spiritual emphasis, directed towards King George III who violated God’s laws, gave rise to a motto during the American Revolution: “No King but King Jesus.” The Founding Fathers passed the torch to us. It is our responsibility to not let it go out.

Israel frees four hostages from Hamas in daring rescue reported by John Solomon

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

The Israeli military freed four hostages taken captive by Hamas in daring rescue operations Saturday in the Gaza Strip that were conducted in the shadows of a pressure campaign by the United States to force a ceasefire. 

Officials said three males and a female who had been taken captive during the attack on the Nova Music festival on Oct. 7 were rescued and taken to hospitals for treatment.

Officials identified those rescued as Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40,

All were reported in good medical condition.

Hamas took about 250 hostages during its terrorist attack on Oct. 7, and about half were released during a November cease-fire.

Saturday’s operation was the largest rescue since the war began.

Officials said Saturday’s hostages were freed in daytime raids at two separate locations in a Nuseirat refugee camp. 

All the while our incompetent administration is calling for a ceasefire that the Hamas terrorist do not want. Let Israel do what it needs to do. Finish the war and secure all the living hostages. Rh

Coalition of Republican Senators Urge Biden Admin to Not Give WHO Authority Over US

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

By CBN News Talia Wise


A coalition of U.S. senators is demanding the Biden administration withdraw its support of two international agreements that would grant greater authority to the World Health Organization (WHO) and potentially weaken America’s sovereignty.

As CBN News reported, the White House submitted 13 amendments for a pandemic-related treaty last May that essentially give the WHO the right to tell the U.S. what to do in a pandemic. Opponents warn the treaty essentially gives up control of the country’s health care system.

The treaty, which includes 300 proposals to increase the WHO’s emergency powers, is being considered later this month during the World Health Assembly (WHA).

The treaty would allow the W.H.O. to declare a health emergency in the United States, require the U.S. to report to an international “Compliance Committee” on whether it was obeying W.H.O. directives, and would create an enforcement mechanism to essentially punish nations that don’t follow the W.H.O.’s directives.  

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and a host of other Republican senators and pointed out the organization’s response to the pandemic was “abysmal.”

“The WHO’s failure during the COVID-19 pandemic was as total as it was predictable and did lasting harm to our country,” the letter reads. 

“The United States cannot afford to ignore the latest WHO inability to perform its most basic function and must insist on comprehensive WHO reforms before even considering amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) or any pandemic-related treaty that would increase WHO authority,” the group warns.

Idaho Senator Jim Risch outlined in another letter the specific missteps taken by the WHO.

“(Their) track record over the last three years is nothing short of abysmal. When the Chinese government lied to the world in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO parroted and praised China’s officials,” he explained. 

“When it became clear China was covering up truths about the deadliest health emergency in a century, the WHO did nothing to hold it responsible,” he added. “The WHO has failed in its core mission to protect global health time and again.”

The senators concluded, “Should you ignore this advice, we state in the strongest possible terms that we consider any such agreement to be a treaty requiring the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate under Article II Section 2 of the Constitution.”

The W.H.O. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has denied the arguments that the organization is trying to gain power, adding that the W.H.O. could not override the sovereignty of member nations.

“W.H.O. is an expression of member states’ own sovereignty and W.H.O. is entirely what the sovereign 194 member states want W.H.O. to be,” Tedros said. 

Travis Weber, vice president for Policy and Government Affairs at the Family Research Council, told CBN News that even if the International Health Regulations had a treaty to enforce their rule, the U.S. Constitution should have the final say in how America responds in another pandemic and not the W.H.O.

“That means even with a treaty that we are party to that the Senate has given advise and consent to, it does not trump the Constitution, even in the case of a treaty. It’s similar to a statute passed by Congress in its level of authority,” Weber told CBN News. “The Constitution still trumps that.”

This would be the final straw against the sovereignty of our great nation to allow a socialist organization to be able to supersede American laws and the Constitution. Please, please call your Senators and representatives to tell them to stop this egregious move on our freedoms! Rh.
