Italy Arrests 9 Suspects for Using Charities to Funnel $8.2 Million to Hamas Terrorists in Gaza
Nine suspects have been arrested by Italian authorities on suspicion of funneling $8.2 million in funds from three separate charities to “associations based in Gaza, the Palestinian territories, or Israel, owned, controlled, or linked to Hamas,” according to a statement that was issued by anti-terrorism prosecutors.

The Global Persecution of Christians Has Greatly Intensified In 2025
While Christians in the Western world peacefully celebrate Christmas, most have absolutely no idea what’s happening to their brothers and sisters on the other side of the globe. Most of the world’s population lives in a country where Christians are being violently persecuted. Believers are rounded up for de-programming in China; churches are burned to the ground by Hindu extremists in India; Christians are literally being cut into pieces by Islamic radicals in some parts of Africa; practicing your faith can be a death sentence in certain areas of the Middle East; and North Korean concentration camps are teeming with people suspected of worshipping Christ. Perhaps if we faced similar levels of persecution, believers in the Western world would start becoming a lot more serious about their faith.

As Silver Surges Toward $100 Mark, Global Debt Levels Are Exploding & U.S. Dollar Is Dying
This year, silver has been on the greatest bull run we’ve ever seen. It’s up an astounding 166% since January 1st, so those who purchased it long ago and stuck with it are loving life right now. When the price of silver reached the 50-dollar mark earlier this year, I thought it would be some time before it hit the 60-dollar mark. But it didn’t take long at all. Once the price of silver reached 60 dollars, I thought it might hit 70 dollars sometime in early 2026. If you check the latest numbers, you’ll see we’ve easily blown past that threshold, and the price of silver has already surpassed 80 dollars in Shanghai. I know I’ve been using the word “crazy” a lot lately, but without a doubt, what we’re witnessing at this moment is truly “crazy.”

Self-Proclaimed Prophet from Ghana Told Followers the ‘End of the World on Dec. 25’ Was Postponed — Says His Prayers Were Answered and the Flood Is Delayed Until Further Notice — Bought a Mercedes-Benz Instead
A self-proclaimed prophet in Ghana has quietly moved the goalposts after his dramatic prediction that the world would end in a catastrophic flood on Christmas Day failed to materialize.

Top 10 weather events of 2025 that smashed records
From extreme winds and heat to unprecedented snow and an unusual hurricane season, 2025 will be remembered as a year that continually rewrote the weather record books. In chronological order, here’s a list of the top 10 record-breaking weather events of the year:

Soviet Europe? Trump BANS Euro Officials from U.S. in Free-speech War
How the worm has turned. In 2009, talk-show giant Michael Savage, along with others, was banned from Britain for exercising speech. Now, 16 years later, certain European officials are being banned from the U.S. for banning people for exercising speech. It’s just the latest in an unprecedented development: a war over liberty between an increasingly authoritarian Europe and a U.S. that, under Trump’s administration, is championing Americanism.

Just Call It Islam
Separating ‘Islam’ from ‘Islamism’ is a fool’s errand. Western societies (which have at our religious and civic core the teachings of the Jewish and Christian scriptures) are fooling ourselves if we think ethnic groups whose religious identity is devotedly Muslim will assimilate comfortably into our cultures.  Instead, the last two decades have shown us a four-step process emanating from Islamic ideology vis-a-vis the West: First, they migrate. Second, they populate. Third, they agitate. Fourth, they dominate. By step four, we suffer all manner of trouble, up to and including horrific acts of violence. So let’s ask this question: Is it wise for the West to make excuses for semi-Muslims by trying to parse out “Islamism” from “Islam”?  No, it is not. I prefer to heed Laura Loomer’s direct recommendation: “Just call it Islam.”
