(Worthy Insights) – The Trump administration continues its talks with Iran, and Israelis are addressing the potential outcomes of those negotiations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that any deal cannot give Iran a path to nuclear weapons.

“A bad deal is worse than no deal. We need a good deal,” Netanyahu declared.

At the JNS International Policy Summit, Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer noted that President Trump pulled out of the previous nuclear deal with Iran, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed by President Barack Obama. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – “We don’t do prayer.” Those were the words uttered by a mayor in a southern California city trying to silence Tarin Swain, a mother of six who has spoken out against what she has described as the “social transitioning” of her daughter at the hands of the public school system.

Swain attended a Ventura County City Council meeting on March 18, where she took to the platform to speak out against the proposed Community Autonomy, Rights, and Equality (CARE) Policy, a statute that asserts, in part, “The City of Ventura and its law enforcement agencies shall not: Participate in the enforcement of any federal or state law that criminalizes or restricts access to reproductive healthcare or gender-affirming care for adults or minors, provided such care is delivered with the approval of a licensed healthcare provider and, in the case of minors, with parental consent in accordance with current California state law.”

If approved, the policy would make Ventura a “sanctuary city” for LGBT advancement among children and abortion, dubbed “reproductive rights” by the language in the statute. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – One in ten patients experience a “serious adverse event” after taking the abortion pill, according to a study released Monday by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), a conservative think tank and advocacy group.

The study found that 10.93% of women experienced sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days after a mifepristone abortion. The real-world rate of serious adverse events after mifepristone abortions is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure of “less than 0.5%” in clinical trials reported on the drug label, according to the study.

(Worthy Insights) – The sacred vessels of the Bais Hamikdash such as the Menorah and the Shulchan (table) are the holy implements of our divine service. They are the very heartbeat of the Jewish people. These treasures, rumoured to be languishing in the Vatican’s vaults, are not relics to be bartered or forgotten but the very soul of our nation, stolen by Rome’s imperialist hand. Yet, for reasons that defy comprehension, this issue of utmost importance has been ignored except for sporadic campaigns.

The vessels’ retrieval is not merely a political act but a spiritual imperative, a step toward cosmic rectification. Today, as the papacy shifts and the world trembles, the moment is ripe to demand their return.

The importance of these artifacts transcends history or archaeology. Their captivity in gentile hands is a desecration, a mockery of Jewish sovereignty. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Sunday that Israel moved up its pager operation against Hezbollah by several weeks after intelligence indicated that three pagers sent from Lebanon were being scanned in Iran.

Speaking at the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said, “In the third week of September, we learned that Hezbollah had sent three pagers to Iran for scanning. I was told it would take them a day. I said: we need to act.”

The operation, originally planned for October, was expedited. “We launched the campaign in Lebanon three weeks earlier than planned, while the military still needed time to prepare for war,” he said. “I told them to prepare for war immediately.” [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Chinese researchers have successfully conducted a controlled field test of a non-nuclear hydrogen-based explosive device that released powerful chemical chain reactions, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday.

According to the study, the 2-kilogram hydrogen bomb created a fireball with a temperature above 1,000 degrees Celsius and sustained it for more than two seconds. The duration of the explosion was 15 times longer than that of a TNT blast of comparable strength, achieved without using any nuclear materials.

The device was developed by China’s state-owned shipbuilding corporation, a key player in underwater weapons development. It utilizes a solid-state hydrogen storage material based on magnesium to achieve the explosive effect. According to the study published in the Chinese Journal of Missiles and Guidance, when the material is triggered using conventional explosives, it undergoes rapid thermal decomposition, releasing hydrogen gas that ignites into a sustained high-temperature fireball.

(Worthy Insights) – On April 13-14, 2024, Iran changed the Middle East forever, ending a decades-long covert shadow war with Israel by openly and directly attacking Israel with 180 ballistic missiles, 170 drones, and dozens of cruise missiles.

Israel responded on April 19, 2024, by attacking one S-300 anti-aircraft defense system, which was protecting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facility in Isfahan.

The Jewish state never seriously considered attacking Iran’s nuclear sites in April 2024 like it did in October 2024, but that first direct round between the sides set the stage for the more dramatic follow-up. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – In an interview with the Free Beacon’s Jon Levine, Fetterman dismissed the administration’s ongoing negotiations with the Islamic regime—as well as the notion that opting to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities would lead to the outbreak of regional war.

“You’re never going to be able to negotiate with the kind of regime that has been destabilizing the region for decades already, and now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that, to strike and destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities,” he said. “And remember, all of these so-called experts were wrong. You know, they’ve been saying for years and years that Hezbollah was the ultimate badass … Well, I guess it turned out they couldn’t fight for s—t. And Hamas, literally, are just a bunch of tunnel rats with junkie rockets in the back of a Toyota truck.”

“Fetterman’s remarks come as the Trump administration barrels forward with negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program that have so far been defined by mixed messages,” writes Levine. “Going into the talks, the administration said any deal would require Tehran to dismantle its nuclear program. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff later suggested a deal could allow Iran to enrich uranium up to a certain level. Then he walked back that walk-back, saying Iran must agree to ‘stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment’ to ink a deal.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

“During these Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, we reflect upon the dark affront to human dignity posed by Nazis. We cherish the eternal memories of all those whose lives were lost to the deadly scourge of anti-Semitism,” Trump wrote.

(Worthy Insights) – Microchips implanted in our brains and artificial intelligence that’s much smarter than humans. It sounds like a science fiction novel, but could such technological advances be imminent?

That question seems to keep repeating itself. It’s reminiscent of the final scene in the 2004 movie The Aviator when Howard Hughes (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio) looks into a mirror and keeps saying, “The way of the future,” over and over again. The Movie Blog explained in 2020, “The final scene makes it clear that Hughes has a long and difficult life ahead of him.”

But what about humanity and the advancement of technology? Do we have a long and difficult battle ahead? One author says it appears to be an unavoidable part of our timeline. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday evening on “The Ingraham Angle” that the Supreme Court needs to provide “finality and clarity” for the Trump administration regarding their deportation cases.

The Supreme Court in April ruled on a handful of cases from the Trump administration, with some addressing their push on deportations of illegal migrants. While discussing the possibility of illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia being brought back to the U.S., Fox’s Laura Ingraham asked if there was a risk for the Trump administration with the Supreme Court’s recent rulings.

(Worthy Insights) – Attorney General Pam Bondi opened up the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias on Tuesday by hearing stories about how the Justice Department was weaponized by the Biden administration to go after Christians.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February directing Bondi to convene a task force composed of top Trump admin officials with the goal of securing religious liberty. During the inaugural meeting, those in attendance shared examples of how the Biden administration “weaponized” government to go after Christian colleges and federal employees who refused the COVID vaccine for religious reasons.

“As shown by our victims’ stories today, Biden’s Department of Justice abused and targeted peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses,” Bondi said. “Thanks to President Trump, we have ended those abuses, and we will continue to work closely with every member of this Task Force to protect every American’s right to speak and worship freely.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Police in Minneapolis are expressing their anger that, after they investigated vandalism done to multiple Tesla cars, identified a perpetrator and provided all the evidence, the local prosecutor is refusing to file criminal charges.

The case involves Dylan Bryan Adams, an aide to Gov Tim Walz, who was caught on video damaging the cars, apparently part of a nationwide wave of people deciding to vandalize other citizens’ vehicles because they dislike the car company owner, Elon Musk, who is working with President Donald Trump to find fraud, corruption and waste in the federal government and remove it.

(Worthy Insights) – From small congregations to megachurches, churches across the U.S. saw record Easter attendance Sunday — the latest sign of what some see as a growing spiritual awakening. The reports coincide with a new Barna survey showing that belief in Jesus is on the rise in the United States, with 66 percent of adults saying they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their life today — a 12-point increase since 2022 and the highest recorded level in the poll since 2012.

“In group texts with pastors from all over the country: record attendance, salvations, zeal, momentum. The tide is turning,” Howerton wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Hours later, after hearing more reports of record crows, Howerton wrote, “I daresay this may be more than a ‘vibe shift.’ Tectonic plates shifting.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Following an investigation into the March 23 incident that resulted in the killing of 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire – a case that drew international attention – Israel Defense Forces dismissed one officer and reprimanded another for breaches of protocol and professional misconduct.

In a statement published on Sunday, the IDF emphasized that the army’s code of ethics was not violated; however, “the examination identified several professional failures, breaches of orders, and a failure to fully report the incident.”

The IDF was excoriated by media around the world, as well as by the United Nations, after the Palestinian Red Crescent Society accused it of killing 15 workers “in cold blood,” despite being marked as medical and humanitarian aid personnel.

The IDF later discovered that at least six of the individuals were members of the Hamas terrorist organization. [ Source (Read More…) ]

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about the bulky bulldozer turning up soil at a testing site in central Israel, but as it pulled closer it became clear: the driver’s cabin is eerily empty.

This is the Robdozer, a fortified engineering vehicle manned remotely, and in this case operated from a military expo halfway across the globe in Alabama.

Army engineers and military experts say that the Robdozer — the robotic version of Caterpillar’s D9 bulldozer — is the future of automated combat. [ Source (Read More…) ]
