Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they watch lefty businesses and business owners flee blue states for red states, oil tanker traffic grinding to a trickle in the Persian Gulf, and CPAC still welcoming the likes of Steve Bannon.First, they react to the news that Starbucks is moving part of its corporate headquarters to Tennessee, a state with no income tax, and hinting that more of its corporate structure could follow. The coffee giant is currently based in Washington state, which just approved a major tax hike on higher-income households. The blue state economic fantasy runs into reality yet again.Next, they're frustrated by Iran's ongoing ability to stop most oil tankers from exiting the Persian Gulf. Jim explains how Iran is able to harass so many vessels despite its navy being so badly depleted and what the U.S. Navy can do to counteract Iran.Finally, they groan over the news that CPAC has invited Steve Bannon to speak at its conference later this month. The controversy follows revelations that Bannon conducted a multi-part interview with Jeffrey Epstein and appeared to be trying to rehabilitate Epstein's public image,Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

During dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion — the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — two Pennsylvania men allegedly threw improvised explosive devices toward an anti-Islam rally led by far-right activist Jake Lang. The devices, homemade bombs containing TATP explosives and shrapnel such as nuts, bolts, and screws, were ignited but failed to fully detonate, causing no injuries despite their lethal potential. The incident escalated from a small far-right demonstration against an alleged "Islamic takeover" into clashes with counterprotesters, leading to multiple arrests, including the two suspects. Federal authorities charged the men with terrorism-related offenses, including providing material support to ISIS, after they reportedly cited inspiration from the Islamic State group, and one expressed intent to surpass the impact of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they react to reports that Iran may be attempting to activate terrorist sleeper cells inside the United States, celebrate the Iranian women's soccer team receiving asylum in Australia, and slam CNN for its disturbing coverage of the attempted terrorist attack in New York City.First, they discuss the U.S. intercepting encrypted messages that could be aimed at activating terrorist sleeper cells in this country. This type of threat from Iran has been a concern for a long time, but will this amount to anything? Greg also suggests this would be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security.Next, they celebrate  the Iranian women's soccer team receiving asylum in Australia. The Iranian regime branded them as "wartime traitors: for refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem before a game last week.Finally, Jim and Greg unload on CNN for posting a sympathetic tweet and story about the two men who attempted a terrorist attack in New York City on Saturday. The suspects have openly identified as radical Islamists inspired by ISIS, raising serious questions about why CNN would frame the story in a way that appears to soften the portrayal of the accused terrorists.Finally, they unload on CNN for a sympathetic tweet and story about the two terrorists who tried to kill people in New York City on Saturday and have made it clear that they are radical Islamists inspired by ISIS. Why would CNN even consider sanitizing this story to benefit of the defendants?Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

1. U.S. Military Success Against Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”) The U.S. has massively reduced Iran’s missile and drone launch capacity over eight days. U.S. forces allegedly destroyed air defenses, missile sites (including mobile launchers), drone infrastructure, and naval capabilities. They argue the U.S. now holds air and naval superiority, enabling cheaper munitions and sustained operations. 2. Global Oil Strategy and Potential Seizure of Kharg Island Discussion of Iran’s dependency on Kharg Island as its primary oil export hub (≈90%). Suggestion that the U.S. may be positioning itself to seize or control this strategic point. This would cripple Iran financially, control the Strait of Hormuz, and create major leverage over China’s energy supply. 3. Domestic Terror Concerns Several incidents referenced (NYC explosive scare, Austin attack, embassy explosion in Norway). Such threats are not caused by the Iran conflict but by long-standing extremist ideology. Strong accusations that open border policies increased vulnerability to terrorism. 4. DHS Funding Fight in Congress Democrats are accused of keeping parts of DHS unfunded (Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA) while ICE remains funded due to earlier legislation. The speakers assert this creates risk to national security during a heightened terror threat environment. Claim: Democrats are doing this to appeal to their base who oppose ICE and strict immigration enforcement. 5. Global Reactions and Rising Islamist Activity Some Islamist groups allegedly responding violently worldwide due to Iran’s conflict and loss of funding. Concern raised that DHS funding issues undermine the U.S.’s ability to defend against these threats. 6. Criticism of Democrat Positions on Iran Senator Chris Murphy is specifically criticized for defending the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. The deal never provided real inspection rights and would have allowed Iran to eventually obtain nuclear weapons. Trump pulling out of the deal and attacking Iranian facilities set Iran’s program back significantly. 7. Tucker Carlson Controversy “Unconditional surrender” leads to U.S. soldiers committing atrocities. The U.S. might require nuclear weapons to force Iranian surrender. These statements are anti-American, extremist, and helpful to Islamist propaganda. Claims that Iranian state media and the Muslim Brotherhood promote Carlson’s segments. 8. New Iranian Leadership Iran allegedly names the son of the previous Ayatollah as its new leader. Speakers argue any continuation of clerical rule is unacceptable for U.S. security. They describe Iran’s leadership as religious extremists who cannot be deterred like other states. 9. Airport Security Incidents and Public Anxiety Several recent flight diversions and security scares are mentioned. Reduced DHS staffing (due to the funding dispute) worsens risks and delays.

Nicolle Wallace covers everything that has transpired a week after Donald Trump waged war with Iran. 8 U.S. service members have died, the White House did not rule out a draft, the Wall Street Journal says we are facing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, and the Iranian regime has named Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as the new Ayatollah. Amid all the chaos, Trump told a CBS reporter today that the war is Iran “is very complete.” Later, Nicolle covers reporting from the Daily Mail that suggests that the White House is blocking the publication of a report by the FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center which warns local law enforcement across the U.S. of the potential of terrorist attacks due to the war in Iran.

You likely didn't notice the slight of hand pulled by the Mayor of New York this weekend. A protest in front of the Mayor's home was attacked by Islamist terrorists but the mayor made the attack appear directed at the Mayor himself and completely ignored the motivation. Stigall unpacks it. Will you be happy with an Iran totally defeated and neutered of weapons but their leadership stays the same? It's a question explored today with John Hayward from Breitbart.com as well as our weekly Republican strategy session with Erin Maguire. Stigall shared a well-written analysis of what victory truly looks like in Iran as well written by someone who's studied and taught in war college. Plus, Democrats are in a sorry shape and Bill maher makes that point to their faces. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PREVIEW FOR LATER Ernesto Araújo discusses Brazil's pivotal election, highlighting a potential shift from narco-terrorism and the impact of Donald Trump's focus on fighting regional organized crime. (1)1929: RIO

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani being deliberately vague about who attempted a terrorist attack in the city over the weekend, national Republicans failing to counter Democrats' aggressive gerrymandering push in Virginia, and Jesse Jackson Jr. rebuking three former presidents for turning his father's funeral into a political stage.First, they slam Mayor Mamdani for being dangerously vague about the two explosive devices that two counter-protesters tried to detonate there at an alleged white supremacist event in NYC on Saturday. The two alleged terrorists gave multiple indications that they were motivated by Islamist ideology. Mamdani clearly trying to obscure the facts is very disturbing sign.Next, they sigh as Democrats pour tens of millions of dollars into a referendum aimed at redrawing Virginia's congressional map. The proposal relies on heavily contorted districts to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile, major national Republican organizations appear largely absent from the fight, prompting Jim and Greg to ask why the GOP is standing aside during this battle.Finally, they applaud Jesse Jackson Jr. for calling out Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden for delivering lengthy political speeches at the funeral of his father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson Sr. Jim and Greg specifically highlight the hypocrisy of Obama, who always claims to pursue unity but gets divisive at every possible opportunity.Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Mark provides an update on the ongoing war in Iran, now in its tenth day.

Drawing on Stephen Kinzer's research, we explore a hard question with fresh urgency: did the quest for short-term stability seed decades of blowback that still shape U.S.–Iran relations today?We walk through the Cold War calculus that made Operation Ajax feel “smart”—oil interests, fear of Soviet expansion, and a fascination with covert tools—then examine how closing civic space strengthened clerical networks as the only resilient opposition. The result was a revolution led by those best organized to seize power, and a regime that frames its identity against the United States while projecting force through Hezbollah, Hamas, and regional militias. We condemn terrorism unequivocally while refusing to erase the history that helps explain why proxies became Tehran's primary lever.From a conservative lens that values prudence and humility, we test whether 1953 is a warning against social engineering abroad. Can great powers restrain the impulse to pick winners and script outcomes? If Iran ever reaches genuinely free elections again, the real test may be whether we allow the messiness of democracy to unfold without trying to play God in month 22. Along the way, we wrestle with the difference between removing a regime and building institutions, and why regime change is not a strategy but a door to unknown rooms.Listen for a clear-eyed timeline, practical takeaways, and a challenge to rethink how we measure success in foreign policy: short-term order or long-term legitimacy. If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us where you stand on the 1953 trade—was it worth the cost?Key Points from the Episode:• Kinzer's thesis that Operation Ajax derailed Iran's early democratic path• Cold War logic of the Dulles brothers and Churchill's Britain• How repression crushed liberal opposition and left clerical networks strongest• The arc from Shah to 1979 revolution to proxy militias• Terrorism condemned while history used to avoid repeat mistakes• Conservative case for prudence and unintended consequences• The test of restraint if Iran reopens a democratic path• Why regime change is not a full strategy so lets not make the same mistake againBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

For decades, the United States and the free world have kicked dangerous problems down the road. Now those threats are demanding attention. Todd Huff examines the growing dangers posed by regimes like Iran, the Venezuelan dictatorship under Nicolás Maduro, and violent cartels destabilizing the Western Hemisphere. At what point does a foreign threat become an American problem? Todd explains why ignoring tyrannical regimes allows them to metastasize into far greater dangers. He also argues that leadership sometimes requires confronting evil early—before nuclear ambitions, terrorism, and regional instability spiral out of control. This episode explores the tension between avoiding endless global policing and protecting liberty when hostile regimes openly threaten America and its allies.

On the morning of February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a devastating preemptive strike against Iran, an operation that decapitated the regime's leadership and sent shockwaves across the globe. What led to this unprecedented action—and what could it mean for the future of the Middle East and the world?In this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones examine the justification behind the strike, analyze the latest developments, and explore the far-reaching geopolitical consequences. They also discuss how these events align with biblical prophecy and what this pivotal moment could signal for the days ahead.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle Iranian officials getting blown up as they try to choose new leaders, President Trump dismissing the rantings of anti-Israel figures on the right, and the and the investigation into the Austin, Texas, terrorist attack.First, they react to reports that remaining Iranian officials continue gathering in person to select new leadership, only to be eliminated in additional air strikes. Jim and Greg highlight what this reveals about Israeli intelligence capabilities, as well as the stubbornness or stupidity of Iran's regime figures Next, they go through the baseless ramblings of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others criticizing the attacks on Iran. They note President Trump's willingness to directly dismiss complaints from Carlson and Megyn Kelly and discuss why presidents often govern very differently on national security than they campaign, especially on national security.Finally, they examine the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, which authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism. Jim expresses cautious optimism that the absence of additional attacks in recent days may suggest concerns about widespread Iranian sleeper cells operating inside the United States have been overstated.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Go to https://CoastPay.com/MARTINI to see how you can earn up to a $2000 credit.New episodes every weekday.

“The more you unpack something—or uncork it—the less power it holds over you.” In this powerful episode of Uncorking a Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with cultural and medical anthropologist Mimi Nichter, whose new memoir Hostage revisits the harrowing 1970 hijacking that changed her life forever. Now a professor emerita and award‑winning anthropologist, Mimi opens up about the 21 days she spent as a hostage in Jordan, how decades of silence shaped her identity, and why she finally chose to share her story more than 50 years later. This conversation dives deep into trauma, resilience, memory, and the healing power of storytelling—making it a must‑listen for memoir lovers, history buffs, and anyone fascinated by the inner mechanics of survival. Key Takeaways: How a 1970 hijacking led to the first use of airport metal detectors and reshaped air travel safety worldwide. Why Mimi kept the trauma silent for decades—and how cultural expectations around women's stories contributed to that silence. What it means to remember: Mimi's process of uncovering a long‑hidden box of artifacts and confronting the depth of her own memories. The surprising role of children in her survival during the hostage crisis, and how caring for them helped her manage fear. Trauma, resilience, and healing: why writing Hostage became an emotional but liberating journey. How reconnecting with fellow hostages 50 years later reopened conversations and fostered communal healing. Why her memoir matters now, in a world where hostage‑taking remains tragically relevant.

Mimi Nichter was an American teenager returning from a summer in Israel on September 6th, 1970 when the plane she was on was hijacked. She was then taken hostage. Until recently, she'd never shared what happened. With the release of her memoir, Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience, she sets the stage for how what happened to her has echoes in the news literally today. I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard about this flight hijacking. Now I can't forget it.

America's Operation Epic Fury and Israel's Roaring Lion were courageous feats that saved the world from a nuclear-armed Iran, the most dangerous state sponsor of terrorism. In today's episode, your Terrorist Therapist®, Carole Lieberman, M.D., takes you inside the Iran-America-Israel war: the secret intel for why it began when it did, why you can't negotiate with terrorists (except in some cases, like for the Israeli hostages), and more. Not all Iranians are dancing in the streets, some are crying on state TV over Khamenei's death.  But, Iran'sregime is like a wounded animal now, literally raising the Red Flag of Revenge and striking back ferociously at Israel and American bases in the Middle East. You will hear how this is backfiring. Jihadists are willing to die and become martyrs for Allah… but wait until they reach the afterlife and discover it's '72 white raisins'… not virgins. (You'll understand when you listen.) However, the biggest threat may not be in the Middle East, it's likely to be at home in America… when the terror cells, and their ‘useful idiots' wake up to avenge Iran. (www.terroristtherapist.com)

It's Monday, March 2, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus United States and Israel bombed Iran The long-simmering threat of conflict between Washington, Jerusalem and Tehran erupted Saturday morning as the United States and Israel launched sweeping airstrikes against Iran, reports NBC News. The launch of “Operation Epic Fury” followed months of heated rhetoric and repeated warnings from President Trump about military intervention in Iran. U.S. and partner forces struck multiple targets, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields. Not only was Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed, but so was his top security adviser, his chief military secretary, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, the Defense Minister, the Head of Iranian military intelligence, and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, reports Axios and Israel National News. Trump: We will destroy Iran's “wicked, radical dictatorship” In an 8-minute address to America, President Donald Trump explained why he believed the attack on Iran was necessary. TRUMP: “Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.” The president laid out the litany of Iranian attacks from the 1979 U.S. Embassy Hostage Crisis in which dozens of Americans were taken hostage for 444 days and the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 soldiers to the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, the killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and the Iranian-funded attack on Israel through Hamas on October 7, 2023. TRUMP: “For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.” President Trump expressed concern for the safety of U.S. soldiers. TRUMP: “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans, and our children, will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way. And we trust that with His help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail.” Sadly, three U.S. service members have been killed in action, as part of the Trump administration's “Operation Epic Fury,” reports NewsNation.com. Iranians celebrating in the streets Anti-regime protesters in southern Iran tore down a statue of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in celebration of his death on Saturday, reports The Telegraph. In Tehran, loud cheers echoed from rooftops and through the streets.   Listen. (audio of Iranians celebrating) Celebratory music played, car horns honked and fireworks were set off in parts of the capital at around 11pm local time. They were joined by Iranians across the world who celebrated the Supreme Leader's downfall after he was killed in a barrage of US and Israeli missile strikes early on Saturday morning. Senator Ted Cruz: Bombing Iran is “single most important decision of [Trump's] presidency” Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas applauded President Trump's decision to bomb Iran. CRUZ: “President Trump's decision to launch this decisive action against Iran is the single most important decision of his presidency. He is taking this action because the government of Iran is a profound and malign influence. “They have been the leading state sponsor of terrorism for 47 years. They have, over that time, killed nearly 1,000 Americans. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hamas. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hezbollah, the Iranian Ayatollah, was, until yesterday, actively trying to murder the President of the United States, Donald J Trump.” Senator Lindsey Graham: “The mothership of terrorism is about to go down!” Appearing on Fox & Friends, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was grateful the American people re-elected President Trump in 2024. GRAHAM: “My feeling today is that I'm very glad that President Trump won and Kamala Harris lost. Unfortunately, the modern Democratic Party is pathetic in the face of evil. “The difference between Donald Trump and our Democratic colleagues, he's common sense. He understands the world. He's of the mindset that the Ayatollah is Hitler in a robe, wearing a turban; that he's not capable of changing his ways. “Donald Trump does not get us entangled in forever wars, but he sure stands up to the bad guys, and he makes us safer. This is the most consequential decision any President has made since 1979.” Senator Graham predicted a major re-set in the Middle East because of “Operation Epic Fury.” GRAHAM: “If the regime falls, I think Saudi Arabia, the keeper of the holy mosque and Mecca and Medina, the center of Islam, will go back to the table to try to do peace with Israel. We were close before, before October the seventh. October the seventh was designed to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. “I think when this regime collapses, we'll be back at the table of normalization. If Saudi Arabia recognizes Israel it will be the biggest change in 1,000 years in the history of the MidEast. If this regime falls -- Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis terrorist network supported by Iran -- will collapse, slowly but surely. “The mothership of terrorism is about to go down. There's a new dawn coming in the Mideast.” Mass shooting in Austin leaves 3 dead and 14 wounded Three people are dead and 14 have been injured after a mass shooting at a popular bar along West Sixth Street in downtown Austin, Texas during the early morning hours of Sunday, March 1, reports the San Antonio Express-News. The shooting took place at Buford's, a popular bar along the West Sixth Street entertainment strip. Anniversary of John Wesley's death And finally, John Wesley, the English evangelist, who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism, died at the age of 87 on this day, March 2nd in 1791. Wesley placed his faith in Christ on May 24, 1738. Referring to our Savior Jesus Christ, Luke wrote in Acts 4:12, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” In his early ministry years, Wesley was barred from preaching in many parish churches and the Methodists were persecuted. Under Wesley's direction, Methodists became leaders in many social issues of the day, including the abolition of slavery. He became known for the Wesley Covenant Prayer. It says, “I am no longer my own, but Thine. Put me to what Thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for Thee or laid aside for Thee, exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Thou art mine, and I am Thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on Earth, let it be ratified in Heaven. Amen.” Wesley wrote hymns including “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing.” “O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace! My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread thro' all the Earth abroad the honors of Thy name.” John Wesley became widely respected, and by the end of his life, was described as "the best-loved man in England.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, March 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The war with Iran has been scripted for decades. So true is this statement that it was explicitly predictable the second Trump administration would initiate it even before the election in 2024. How was this known and how did shows like The Secret Teachings broadcast this back then? Americans are now relegated to a same series of labels used during the Bush administration: you are either with us or against us; just as WMDs and Terrorism have been used to justify breaking fundamental promises. The bottom line is we were lied to by the Trump administration repeatedly. Americans been duped and threatened by a foreign government and have done their bidding once again. This is not a sovereign country. It's a joke. Run by pedophiles and mass murdering religious whackos:CNN reported the following: "Ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, worshippers read the specific portion from the Old Testament, known as Zachor. The passage from the book of Deuteronomy commands the ancient Israelites to remember an unprovoked attack by the nation of Amalek and to eradicate the memory of Amalek once the Israelites are settled in their land. The passage is read publicly before Purim to fulfil the mitzvah of remembering Amalek as Israel's archetypical enemy.”Deuteronomy 25:17 instructs: “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt." The story of Purim can be found in the later story told in the Scroll (Book) of Esther. In Hebrew, the word Megillah (scroll) shares a root with Galuí, meaning “to reveal,” while Esther stems from Hester, meaning “hidden.” Purim is thus literally about “revealing the hidden.” In fact, the primary commandment of Purim is to hear the Megillah read out loud from a physical parchment scroll. Zachor simply means “remember.” Specifically, it refers to the commandment in Deuteronomy. The Greek word apokalupsis, from apokaluptein, is where we obtain the word apocalypse. Although the word means to “uncover” or “reveal” the spiritual reality behind worldly events—particularly as they relate to the changing of the four seasons (four horses), or the lifting of the veil of nature—it has become associated with cataclysmic events and a final earthly war called Armageddon. What is interesting, and perhaps frightening to some, is that the Purim ritual is derived from the revelation of the hidden found in the name of the Scroll of Esther. Starting a war with these specific optics is akin to literally creating the optics of the apocalypse and eschaton!  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
