Consumer confidence has fallen to levels not seen in more than a decade. That matters because confidence is what fuels everyday life. When people believe tomorrow will be better, they spend, plan, invest, and take risks. When confidence collapses, fear takes over - and fear freezes decision-making.
Democracy requires a shared factual foundation. When half the country thinks we're in a humanitarian crisis and half thinks we're finally enforcing laws that went ignored for decades--and both sides can cite "evidence" for their position--we have a collective epistemological breakdown.
Canada's so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program isn't just failing vulnerable people -- it's actively betraying them. Time and again, it delivers fresh, horrifying proof that euthanasia is not compassion, but a moral nightmare dressed as mercy. Yet far too many still look away. Why?
The people of Israel never wonder, “Will there be another terrorist attack?” The question is always, “When?”
When most people imagine the Beast system, they picture something sudden--a dramatic flip of a switch where the Antichrist unveils a fully formed global control grid. Scripture gives a different impression: a system that already has scaffolding, already has "rails," already has the plumbing installed--so that when the final authority arrives, the mechanism is ready.
In the next great arms race, the battlefield may not be dominated by generals or even by human soldiers, but by algorithms trained to hunt like hawks, scatter like doves, and stalk like wolves. Chinese military theorists now openly describe future warfare as "algorithm-driven," with unmanned systems serving as the primary fighting force and swarm operations as the dominant mode of combat.

Notably, most European countries have declined a position on the board, leading to significant dominance of the Middle Eastern Arab states on the Board of Peace.
Yair was trained to handle the worst-of-the-worst of all medical emergencies that can occur in the field. It is as if he was trained and handpicked for this moment.
A planned "Walk With Jesus" march has been banned, not because it is illegal or violent, but because authorities fear it might offend others. Peaceful Christians are now being told they cannot proclaim their faith in public without risking arrest.
A car that can decide--based on opaque algorithms and federal standards--that you are "unfit" to drive opens the door for federal control over when, where, and whether Americans can operate their own vehicles.
On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index crashed 870 points, the biggest drop since October. The mainstream media predictably blamed President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs over Greenland, but they were wrong. It turns out Greenland barely made a dent. What caused the bloodbath was Japan.
Joshua Link was employed as a custodian at St. John's Lutheran Church in Granite City. Church leadership reportedly told Link he could not wear a French maid outfit and cat ears while working on church property. Link committed suicide shortly after and parents are now blaming the church.
