Democrats Demand ID To Get Into Their Convention But Not To Vote For President

(Worthy Insights) – The Biden-Harris administration has called voter photo identification laws “burdensome” and “unnecessary.” The administration has let hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal immigrants pour across the border with no questions asked about who they are. But the administration’s political party has implemented identification requirements for anyone who wants to attend the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Individuals seeking to get into the DNC must show proof of identity “for security screening” to pass through a security perimeter and physical barriers, NewsNation reported. In fact, Chicagoans who live in the “areas around the United Center and McCormick Place” where roads will be closed for the convention “will still be able to go in and out of their homes” but they are only “allowed guests as long as those guests have photo ID.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

Walz administration awarded $2 million to Muslim group fundraising for al Qaeda-linked charity

(Worthy Insights) – Under Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the state of Minnesota awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group that fundraises for a charity linked to an al Qaeda affiliate, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity was collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a terrorist group sanctioned by the U.S. government for funding al Qaeda.

News of the Walz administration’s grants to the IANA comes as the Democratic vice presidential candidate faces backlash after a series of Washington Examiner reports revealed his ties to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. As Minnesota’s governor, Walz has repeatedly hosted Zaman, who shared a pro-Adolf Hitler movie on social media and defended the Oct. 7 attack. Moreover, according to unearthed footage, Walz referred to Zaman as a “master teacher” at a 2018 event held by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which partners with the IANA.

“Who are we truly? What do we represent? Why is it so important for you to destroy us? And most importantly, who will win here and decisively.” [ Source: Israel365 (Read More…) ]

The Fear Weapon of Imminent Threat

by Miki Yochanan, Worthy News Contributor

(Worthy Insights) – As Israel stands poised for an attack, the wait becomes stress-filled boredom as the leaders are bunker-protected and the populous readies their homes and families for a very REAL Iranian promised onslaught. This – being promised by 2-3 days of airborne missiles, drones, and rockets, seems to, now have inoculated the people of Israel into initiating self-affliction upon themselves. What am I talking about?

This is the same place they found themselves on October 6th – divided as ever over Judicial policy and social reforms. Now, the verbal swords against Netanyahu by his own staff, Knesset members, and government leaders have been drawn as the diatribe ensues into a new level again…while the wait continues for the sky to fall over Israel via the Sabre of Iran.

Is this the intent? Is this a strategy by Iran to be overwhelmingly vociferous towards Israel over the killing of one man. Is this equitable? Or is this the same type of diabolicality that Japan endeavored into prior to the December 7th bombing of Pearl Harbor. Could it be – if we do not see an attack by Iran soon, that they are essentially attempting to draw Israel into an economic war of self-protection (being under constant threat of attack – without any actual act of war) and by doing so, trigger Israel to swing the first blow back at them?

That is what the US did to Japan over the months prior to December 7th. The US blockaded raw materials on their way to the Japanese islands. They also negotiated a reduction of commerce between Japan and other nations, even causing the Japanese currency to devalue. Is it possible Iran is waging an economic war by using the fear of imminency to Israel where there is never light at the end of the tunnel? I don’t know the answer to that, but it seems to be at least – a short-term strategy that places Israel in a Defcon 5 type alert status 24/7 with no end in sight.

As I converse with my friends in the Land, I hear how they need to be near shelters at all times, having stocked up with food, water, generators, fuel – and it seems as if there is a belief that Israel is going to awaken to great devastation at some point – at any moment.
In thinking about this, if I were Iran – I would not be concerned because if that were my goal – I have won a great battle – placing my enemy in a place where fear can percolate and grow, and after days of no attack, it then can turn into frustration, boredom and potential laziness to the threat. It is a great strategy – an evil one mind you. Now, Israeli leaders are bickering and snapping at each other for a ceasefire and hostage release while watching (according to Hamas) the fact they executed one hostage and wounded two others.

This behavior seems to be the thing which they are after. Attacking Israel with hundreds of flying bombs, in the eyes of the world, would look like an unfair retaliation to one man’s death. So, why not attempt to get Israel to launch a preemptive strike against Iran and draw them to a skirmish line where Iran can feel justified in an all-out offense against Israel.

At the same time, we see Zelensky invading Russia, poking the bear into another line across a part of the globe which would bring the world to another commencement of war – number three in just over 100 years.

On the sideline (and I am speculating – but there are sources in three-letter agencies that actually state this as fact) The US seems to be playing the Offensive Coordinator for Iran and the Defensive Coordinator for Israel. This is an evil position – lead by those who hate Israel and want to use Iran as a tool for destruction. By doing so, the nations with weak economies (aka the US, several in the EU, many Slavic nations, and in Asia) can participate in the greatest way for a government to recover – Go To War! It benefits the weaker nations who ally correctly with future history and can bring down the hated ones.

What these nations fail to realize is that there is a God – whose preeminent promise is to His Firstborn, Israel. (Wait – what do you mean Israel is His firstborn? I thought Jesus was His begotten Son.) In Exodus chapter four God instructs Moses for another trip to Pharaoh’s court – but this time He tells Moses in verses 22-23, “Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me. But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.”

No way to escape the fact this is the case – And because of the lack of time and letter count we can debate later what you think about the current state of Israel – but yes it has been proved time and again that Israel is the placeholder for the Firstborn to come and see Messiah return. Both in its populous and in the Land.

So, this is not a prediction, only a held speculation as I watch what is happening from the stands – praying towards the protection of Israel, its people, and its land… I am going to begin praying Psalm 133 over the land; because if the enemy can cause division within the ranks of society, government, and military in Israel without firing a shot – it is truly a softening of the battlefield of the mind, so when calamity comes it is more effective for the enemy. Let us all be discerning and make sure we understand these battles in Israel whether with natural weapons or Ephesians 6:10-18 weapons, one of those you cannot participate in – the other you can! So let us all read this passage and engage in praying for unity, strength, endurance, and courage for the people of Israel.

After Attack, Druze Israeli Soldiers, Residents Refute Global Myth of Israel as ‘Apartheid State’

(Worthy Insights) – Israel is often accused in international arenas of racism and even of operating as an Apartheid state, yet the recent attack on a Druze minority community in the Golan Heights tells a different story.

‘Something Has Shifted’: Pastors Report Revival Fires Spreading in the UK

(Worthy Insights) – Revival fires are reportedly spreading across the United Kingdom. From England to Ireland, Christians are witnessing a “shift” and a new hunger for God in the once spiritually dry region.

“Something has shifted in the last six months and it feels almost like it’s a rising river,” said Pastor Craig Cooney who leads Hope Church in Northern Ireland. He believes the spiritual drought brought on by the pandemic is over.

“Between 2020 and 2023 I found myself often saying that I’ve never seen the church at such a low ebb that it just felt like we were going through the motions post-Covid, that churches were struggling, their numbers were down. But not only were their numbers down, there was just a lack of zeal, lack of passion, a lack of enthusiasm, a lack of growth. And something shifted around the start of this year, I would say, and it’s difficult to describe or define,” Cooney said. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
