(Worthy Insights) – Last week, an influential group of American Christians publicly reaffirmed the Jewish people’s right to Judea and Samaria as the biblical heartland of Israel. The Judea and Samaria area is more commonly known as the West Bank.

The declaration was unveiled at the annual National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas by American Christian Leaders for Israel and was expected to be signed by 3,000 religious leaders before being delivered to President Donald Trump.

The push to apply Israeli sovereignty to the area comes after Trump said last month that his administration would make an announcement on the matter in the coming weeks when asked about annexation. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – In a show of growing confidence and political influence, pro-Israel Christian leaders gathered at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem on Tuesday to celebrate the Israel launch of the Conference of Presidents (COP) of Christian Organizations in Support of Israel.

The coalition aims to advance pro-Israel policies at the executive, legislative, and state levels while mobilizing grassroots efforts to strengthen US-Israel relations and combat rising antisemitism in North America, explained Mario Bramnick, president of the Latino Coalition for Israel and a co-founder of the Conference of Presidents.

Other co-founders include Rev. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council; Michele Bachmann, dean of the School of Government at Regent University and former US congresswoman; and Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Early this month, Larry Sanger announced that he had come to Christ. We should rejoice when anyone becomes a Christian, but this conversion is especially interesting. Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, is another in a notable line of skeptics who have recently become believers, or are well on their way to.

Sanger’s background makes him a seemingly unlikely convert. As he put it when describing his testimony:

“Throughout my adult life, I have been a devotee of rationality, methodological skepticism, and a somewhat hard-nosed and no-nonsense (but always open-minded) rigor. I have a Ph.D. in philosophy, my training being in analytic philosophy, a field dominated by atheists and agnostics. Once, I slummed about the fringes of the Ayn Rand community, which is also heavily atheist. So, old friends and colleagues who lost touch might be surprised.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Starting small to later go big, scientists hoping to bring woolly mammoths back from extinction have genetically engineered the “woolly mouse.”

Researchers said they implanted genetically modified embryos into female mice which then gave birth to the first pups in October of 2024.

Scientists used genetic engineering techniques to combine mammoth DNA and mouse DNA to successfully create mice with fat and fur similar to a mammoth, which provides insulation for the mammal to survive cold weather. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case on college programs which a conservative group claimed chills free speech and pushes students to be fearful to express an unpopular or controversial viewpoint.

The nation’s highest court turned down the opportunity to weigh in on a lawsuit against Indiana University, brought on by the student First Amendment rights group Free Speech, which centered on the constitutionality of college bias response teams and issues surrounding free speech rights.

“Instead of allowing free-range debate, many colleges are more interested in protecting students from ideas that make them uncomfortable,” the advocacy group told the Supreme Court in court documents. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The U.K. placed an order worth as much as £1.6 billion ($2 billion) with Thales to supply more than 5,000 air defense missiles for Ukraine, the government said.

The Defence Equipment & Support department of the British Ministry of Defence placed the order for the Thales-made Lightweight Multirole Missile on behalf of the Ukrainian government, it said in a statement on Monday. The order follows an announcement by Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday following a meeting of European leaders in London to discuss support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been requesting more air defense for his country for months, as Russia targets Ukraine’s civilian population as well as its energy infrastructure with everything from suicide drones to ballistic missiles. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused media outlets of “constantly lying to the public in the service of and in full cooperation with the deep state,” during a Knesset debate on Monday.

“The media are not news channels; they are fake channels,” the prime minister charged during a so-called 40-signature debate, which the opposition can call once a month and which he is obliged to attend.

Netanyahu noted allegations that have resurfaced in recent days that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met with the accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein at least 36 times between 2013 and 2017. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Honda is shifting production of the Civic from Mexico to the United States, in response to President Donald Trump’s planned 25 percent tariffs on Mexican imports, sources told Reuters.

Starting in May 2028, the Japanese automaker will begin manufacturing the new Civic hybrid in Indiana to avoid potential tariffs, the sources said. The Civic, one of Honda’s top-selling models, is expected to have an annual output of around 210,000 units.

The announcement comes just a day before Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods are set to take effect, part of the administration’s efforts to curb drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Trump announced a 30-day pause on the tariffs, which were originally slated to go into effect last month, after Mexico and Canada agreed to deploy troops and personnel to secure their borders with the United States.

(Worthy Insights) – A major court has ruled that parents don’t have the right to know that their child is changing genders while at school.

The opinion, from the First Circuit Court of Appeals, determined that it does not violate parental rights for a school to transition a child without the parents’ knowledge.

“[P]arental rights are not unlimited,” the court ruled. “Parents may not invoke the Due Process Clause to create a preferred educational experience for their child in public school.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Cryptocurrencies rallied on Sunday after President Donald Trump announced the creation of a strategic crypto reserve for the United States.

“A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA,” he said in a post on Truth Social. “I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World.”

“And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve,” he said in a follow-up post. “I also love Bitcoin and Ethereum!” [ Source (Read More…) ]
