From the article -- From a Biblical perspective, there is a sobering likelihood that the United States of America is a nation under judgment by God.
Throughout Scripture, God holds nations accountable for their conduct. Proverbs 14:34 declares, “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” When a society celebrates what God condemns, marginalizes Biblical morality, disregards the sanctity of human life, and increasingly substitutes government dependency for personal responsibility, it cannot expect God’s blessing indefinitely.
American Christians must confront a question: Where have our pastors been?
The great failure of the American evangelical church is the reluctance of many pastors to address the moral and spiritual implications of political issues. Sunday after Sunday, congregations hear sermons about personal relationships, forgiveness, generosity, and platitudes about Christian living. Those subjects are important. But where are the sermons condemning abortion, supporting the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, constitutional government, and the moral foundations upon which a free society depends?
Where are the pastors’ sermons condemning transgenderism, vocally supporting Israel, denouncing antisemitism, and saying that Muslims are spiritually lost and in need of Jesus? Answer: You’ll never hear sermons on these topics in your local church. Why? Because sermons like these come from pastors with courage. Today’s pastors do not realize that Biblical faithfulness does not exist in a context of political silence.
When Scripture speaks clearly about the sanctity of life, sexual morality, honesty, justice, and personal responsibility, pastors have an obligation to teach those truths, even when they become politically controversial.
2) “Trump, Vance, And The Debate Over America’s Relationship With Israel” (Chris Katulka, Harbinger’s Daily)
From the article -- During a 60 Minutes interview, President Donald Trump partially blamed Republicans’ poor performance in the 2026 midterm elections on what he called a “great dislike for Israel” among American voters, alongside, of course, opposition to the war with Iran and rising gasoline prices.
His remarks come amid declining American support for Israel, even as Vice President J.D. Vance also suggests Republicans may need to reconsider their “relationship” with the Jewish state to win future elections.
On Election Day, President Trump announced that the United States would end its nearly $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of 2026. That announcement blindsided Israeli security and financial officials since the current agreement provides Israel with $3.8 billion annually through September 2028. Trump was quick to point out that Israel has been a very strong ally of the United States, and he added that the Jewish State supports the decision.
But the fact that he made this announcement on the morning of the midterm elections tells you just how controversial American military aid to Israel has become among both Republicans and Democrats...
3) “The Midterms: An Autopsy: The 2026 midterm rout exposed Republican failures on the economy, Iran, and immigration. Trump can still recover, but Democrats risk overplaying their hand with a radical agenda.” (Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness)
From the article -- As for Trump’s own legislative initiatives—they are dead. Bipartisan initiatives with the new socialist Democratic Party could be explored, but they would likely be untenable in the eyes of the MAGA base. Otherwise, Democrats will vote against anything and everything Trump proposes—in the fashion of what Harry Truman once called his oppositional Republican legislators: “The Do-Nothing Congress.”
Nevertheless, sometimes presidents in the wake of bruising congressional losses find ways to stay dynamic and popular. The last two years of the Clinton and Obama administrations were supposed to be inert. They most certainly were not...
Trump could very well follow some of these lame-duck precedents. Even now, he could stop radical Democratic legislation, quickly finish the Iran war, and continue to reset regions in the manner that he has already remade Latin America, which now bears little resemblance to its anti-American socialist character before 2025.
Twenty-seven months of his remaining tenure is a long time. If there were an end to the Ukraine war; if the Iranian theocracy becomes denuclearized or eventually even implodes; or if the strong economy goes into hyperdrive in 2027 (with 5 percent GDP growth, more good jobs reports, continuing record median household incomes, and continuing record-low poverty rates), then Trump could enjoy popularity on the level achieved by Clinton and Obama as they left office.
4) “The West Is Now Happy to Live With Terrorism: As confirmed by overlooked results of last week’s midterm elections.” (Martin Arostegui, American Spectator)
From the article -- Michigan just elected as senator someone who says that America “deserved” 9/11. Politicians forming a new government in Israel won’t call Hamas a terrorist group. Vice President JD Vance seems prepared to sign off on nukes for the IRGC, and a group caught trying to blow up an airbase in the U.K. is out on police bail. Is the West surrendering to terrorism?
Yemen’s Houthis haven’t sunk an aircraft carrier, but given their ability to fashion ballistic missiles out of smuggled components from Iran and China, the day may not be far off. Neither can terrorists invade a country with tank divisions, but the proliferation of drone and cyber warfare allows capabilities for transborder clandestine attacks unimaginable a decade ago.
Terrorist jungle bases or desert “caliphates” can be decimated by Western air power and special forces while their state sponsors get reduced to underground command bunkers presiding over destitute populations in ruins. But the terrorist strategy of penetrating, dividing, and capturing the public narrative in Western societies by preying on the openness of democratic systems that they seek to destroy is succeeding.
The IRGC just managed to swing an election in the U.S. and split the Trump administration with drone strikes on commercial shipping, which hiked oil prices. During the entire war, fewer than 20 U.S. servicemen have been killed (well below annual casualties in training exercises), and maybe three U.S. aircraft downed (well below the number lost annually in accidents) out of thousands of air sorties flown against Iran. But mass hysteria generated by the IRGC was sufficient for VP Vance to declare the war a “mistake,” blame it for the midterm defeat, and call on Republicans to choose peace candidates.
5) “The Democrats’ Blueprint for Permanent Power: The Constitution supplies legitimate ways to change those rules via the constitutional amendment process and nearly every item on the Democrat agenda is designed to bypass it.” (Stu Cvrk, American Greatness)
From the article -- Every generation of Americans is told that some emergency justifies setting the Constitution aside just this once. Today’s “emergency” comes with a slogan: saving democracy. Strip away the branding, and the Democrat Party’s structural agenda looks like something entirely different—and reminiscent of the old Bolsheviki power play 100 years ago but recast for gaining control of U.S. institutions. Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the filibuster, an end run around the Electoral College, federal control of elections, and a government apparatus for policing “disinformation” are not a plan to save democracy. Taken together, they are a plan to make a future Democrat Party majority permanent. That was the Bolsheviki goal, too.
Let’s examine their plan in detail...
