From the article -- Thus spoke the pampered rich kid from Uganda, who immigrated to America with his now-endowed professor father and elite filmmaker mother, the latter reportedly supported by millions of dollars in grants from the Qatari royal autocracy.
Upon arriving, the Mamdanis joined what is statistically America’s wealthiest and most highly credentialed ethnic group: the enormously privileged Indian American community. (But how was that possible in Mamdani’s version of a racist America that supposedly detests the wrong accents and skin colors?)
When this nepo baby includes himself among the supposedly “victimized” (“the rest of us”), should we laugh or cry?
If Mamdani wishes to invoke the tired Marxist oppressed-oppressor binary (“how small they are” versus “the rest of us”), then, by his own revolutionary vocabulary, he once belonged to a settler-colonial Indian expatriate elite.
After all, although Uganda’s Indian community comprises only about 1 percent of the population, it still controls roughly 60 percent of the nation’s GDP.
2) “Just Defund Planned Parenthood Already -- If we can’t defund abortion organizations, we’re going to struggle to do everything else on the pro-life agenda.” (Aubrey Harrisby, American Spectator)
From the article -- It seems a bit counterintuitive. If all the right people are in charge, having been granted what everyone is calling a “popular mandate,” how hard could it possibly be to cross the finish line? And yet, every time we approach it, we suddenly seem to question whether we should have even started the race in the first place. Do we really want to incur the inevitable blowback that always comes with political change? Is it really worth it? Maybe it’d be just fine to let things be.
It’s that kind of political apathy that sent the House on its Independence Day recess a bit early this year. Sure, they had difficult things to do — like passing the SAVE Act and preventing Planned Parenthood from reacquiring federal funding — but the hamburgers were calling (okay, and maybe Speaker of the House Mike Johnson needed to work on sweetening the deal for a few more Republicans to vote on the SAVE Act).
Then, July 5 rolled around, and the portion of the Big Beautiful Bill that had effectively defunded Planned Parenthood and two other smaller (but still quite large) abortion providers expired. Promptly, our taxpayer dollars started flowing into the coffers of the nation’s largest abortion mills.
3) “Yes, They’re Communists, and Yes, They’re Lying About It. For Now. -- The label promises reform. The ideology points toward something far more radical.” (Scott McKay, American Spectator)
From the article -- There is no such thing as a democratic socialist. That’s a term invented to mask what people who call themselves democratic socialists actually are. They’re communists.
Oh, they’ll tell you it isn’t the same thing. That’s one of an unbroken string of lies they’ll tell you, because lies are all these people have. And a pretty good tell where that’s concerned is to look at the resumes of practically every single one of the people who are rapidly taking over the Democrat Party in primary election after primary election. What you’ll find is that these are people who literally lie for a living.
4) “Antisemtism And Vitriol For Israel: One Of The Most Distinguishing Signs Of Our Time” (Jonathan Brentner, Harbinger’s Daily)
From the article -- It’s everywhere. We hear it on popular news channels. Its anthem rings out in the halls of the US Congress. Most churches, many knowingly and others unwittingly, promote it.
The steadily intensifying antisemitism of our day points to the reality of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period. It’s one of the more distinguishing signs of our time because it aligns with so many prophecies that predict hatred for Israel and the Jews during the last days. In Zechariah 8:13, the Lord foretold what we see today along with His promise to dramatically reverse the fortunes of the Jewish people: “And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”
What we see today fulfills the first part of these words from the Lord. Those inside and outside the church who attack Israel, however, overlook the Lord’s promise that after the hatred and cursing, He will save Israel and cause it to be a blessing to the nations.
It will be one of the greatest plot twists of all time, rivaling what the account recorded in Esther with its radical change of direction, with its most unexpected outcome.

5) “The Seduction of Artificial Certainty” (Robert Maginnis, Washington Stand)
From the article -- A pastor and Christian author recently described an experiment that left him deeply unsettled. While researching church history and biblical doctrine, he spent hours questioning two of today’s leading artificial intelligence systems. Their answers arrived almost instantly. They were articulate, persuasive, supported with hyperlinks, and delivered with remarkable confidence.
Then he did what every careful researcher should do. He opened the cited sources.
In case after case, the references did not support the claims AI had confidently presented. Some sources were incomplete; others were mischaracterized. In one exchange, the AI offered three different answers to the same question, each with its own supporting citations — then admitted, after repeated challenges, that it could find no reliable evidence for any of them.
His conclusion was not that artificial intelligence is useless. Quite the opposite. It proved remarkably helpful in organizing information and accelerating research. His concern was simpler — and far more important. “How many people,” he asked me afterward, “would simply accept the first answer as fact without ever checking the sources?”
