(Worthy Insights) – A U.S. Army Reserve chaplain is asking for the newly appointed Secretary of Veterans Affairs under the Trump administration to revoke the censorship of sermons–a policy adopted by the V.A.– after the chaplain shared a text from Romans 1, where the Apostle Paul addresses homosexuality.

Rusty Trubey, a veteran chaplain at the Coatesville V.A. Medical Center, came under fire after he “felt that God was leading him to preach a two-part sermon series on the first chapter of Romans.”

Trubey preached the second installment of the series, entitled “When a Culture Excludes God,” in June and read Romans 1:23–32. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Ten years ago, ISIS terrorists marched 21 Christian men to their deaths on a Libyan beach. Their story of faith, sacrifice, and eternal hope is now being memorialized in a new animated film.

February, 2015. Twenty-one men stood on the edge of eternity. On a Mediterranean beach. Dressed in orange. Hands bound. They were given one choice: deny their faith or die. They chose death.

Nermien Riad, founder of the group, Coptic Orphans, who worked with orphans in the village where the men were from and later worked with the martyrs’ families, recalled, “We heard about it as soon as it happened to basically once the video was broadcast, it spread like wildfire.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

It’s an ambitious effort that follows two previous events: Baptize SoCal and Baptize California. The former, held in 2023, saw nearly 4,200 baptisms, while the latter, which unfolded last year, saw more than 12,200 people be immersed.

Now, Francey wants to up the ante and take these local and state events national. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – President Trump’s border buildup has been so successful that America’s southern neighbors are dealing with a startling new problem: migrants streaming south, trying to return home after realizing they wouldn’t make it to the U.S.

Panama and Costa Rica officials met this week to discuss details for handling the flow. The steady stream could become a flood as people waiting in Mexico for a shot at the U.S. give up.

The U.S. is trying to help by orchestrating flights to get the migrants out of Central America and back to their home countries. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Over the last two years, USAID doled out $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even in December 2024, with the Biden administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29 million.

USAID support for Somalia had doubled under the Biden administration and with $3.3 billion from USAID allocated in the last 5 years. the threatened withdrawal of funding must have been a painful blow for Omar, who is very close to the Somali regime. Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire had stated “the interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia.”

Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Two judges who have issued injunctions against a series of President Donald Trump’s clearly legal executive orders both have records of extremism.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. on Thursday temporarily blocked Trump’s federal employee buyout program that originally gave federal workers the option to decide by Thursday to leave their current role with full pay and benefits until September 30, 2025. The memo was issued in accordance with Trump’s goal of shrinking the federal workforce. Several unions sued, arguing the order “violates federal law.” O’Toole issued a ruling Thursday delaying the deadline until at least Monday, though O’Toole “did not express an opinion on the legality of Trump’s buyback program,” according to Fox News.

But former federal prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Andrew Cherkasky tells The Federalist “historically, buyout programs have been a standard tool for managing federal workforce reductions efficiently and voluntarily … There is no constitutional or statutory prohibition against modifying the terms under which employees receive buyouts.” [ Source: The Federalist (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Newly published emails show the Biden White House cooperated with the National Archives in the Justice Department’s classified documents case against Donald Trump – which allowed the White House to build a predicate for the federal case against Trump that was ultimately dismissed, America First Legal says.

The emails, which were obtained in a lawsuit and released by the nonprofit conservative public interest group, show then-Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su took a phone call with National Archives and Records Administration officials to discuss the missing boxes allegedly retained illicitly by Trump in September 2021, delaying the agency’s referral to the Department of Justice until after the White House filed a “special access request” the following year.

“New NARA emails further confirm that the classified documents case against President Trump was a sham prosecution that involved the Biden White House from the start – long before NARA’s official referral of classified documents to DOJ for investigation,” America First Legal posted to X.

Although the Warren Commission would rule that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy, that conclusion has been widely debated. [ Source: Western Journal (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Just days before the streets of Tehran filled with people declaring “Death to Israel! Death to America!” to mark the anniversary of the Islamic revolution, an Iranian from that same city stood to address the Knesset in Israel with exactly the opposite message.

Many years ago, Kurosh Azadmehr (his name changed for security reasons) was a commander in the Iranian army but now he pastors a church in Europe.

Azadmehr told members of the Knesset, “I was trained by the regime, I was completely brainwashed, I was a commander… but one day, I prayed to the God of Israel, “show me the truth.” He came to me, the God of Israel, Yeshua the Mashiach [Jesus the Messiah], He changed me completely. Now I’m here, standing with Israel with a big heart, crying and standing with you until the end. I love you so much with all my heart. This is very precious for me.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Rabbi Pinchas Winston praised Trump’s unique vision for Gaza, humorously noting the shift from viewing it as a “terrorist resort” to a “tourist resort.” He likened Trump to the biblical Cyrus, highlighting his role in helping Jews return to Israel and in establishing the Third Temple, a move aligned with prophecies about the Messiah and the ultimate gathering of Jews in Israel.

“While most of the world wants Gaza to remain a terrorist resort, Trump wants it to be a tourist resort,” Rabbi Winston quipped. “And he can make it happen.”

Rabbi Winston emphasized that the end game is known; the Messiah will come and the Jews will all return to Israel.

“Trump clearly has one job: bring the Jews back to Israel and help us establish the Third Temple,”Rabbi Winston said. “In that way, he is like Cyrus, who the Bible referred to as Moshiach.” [ Source: Israel365 (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The federal judge who suggested Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt over the spending freeze on Monday is a Democrat donor.

John J. McConnell, Jr., chief judge of the U.S. district court in Rhode Island, ordered the Trump administration to “immediately restore frozen funding” after determining officials violated his prior restraining order and suggesting further opposition could result in criminal charges.

McConnell cited a 1975 case that states, “Persons who make private determinations of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt even if the order is ultimately ruled incorrect.” [ Source: Daily Caller (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Over the past several decades, billions of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars have been funneled into left-wing initiatives around the globe through the United States Agency for International Development.

Established in 1961, the agency was intended to administer foreign aid and assistance to developing nations, but it has since apparently become an unscrutinized black hole of waste, fraud, and abuse.

With a mandate from American voters nationwide, President Donald Trump and his administration have set their sights on rooting out the federal government’s wasteful spending. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Incoming US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Sunday that the Trump administration is likely to bring changes of “biblical proportions” to the Middle East, as Arab nations continued to react with alarm to the new US president’s proposal to clear out the population of Gaza and take ownership of the Strip.

“As long as Hamas exists, that is a threat to the Israelis,” Huckabee said in an interview on Fox News. “They want the destruction of the Jewish state.”

“One thing we know is that Hamas is not going to be able to exist,” Huckabee continued. “That’s just a done deal.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
