The fighting between America and Iran continues, even though a ceasefire had been “agreed upon.” The Sanhedrin condemns Donald Trump for his actions (so does Tucker Carlson, and so does Germany). While John Bolton pleads guilty to a politically motivated charge, defiant Anthony Fauci is subpoenaed to testify about his conduct leading to and during the coronavirus pandemic. The US Supreme Court renders irresponsible decisions regarding immigration and harmful pesticides, contributing to the sickness and destruction of the USA.
Trump threatens the EU; Russia claims that Trump breaks the “Alaska agreement” with Putin; Britain provokes Russia; and the question is posed: What IF Putin were to attack Europe?
Finally, strong earthquakes rattle the planet almost simultaneously, but scientists tell us it’s not connected and all normal.

Two Hundred and Fifty
On July 4, 2026, America celebrates 250 years of independence. Speeches will be made. Flags will be waved. Politicians from every persuasion will congratulate the nation and promise a brighter future. The word freedom will be repeated until it almost loses its meaning.

In the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, we read:
“And it repented the Lord … grieved him at his heart. This is a strong instance of what is called anthropomorphism, an expression descriptive of human emotion or action ascribed to Jehovah… Such expressions have often given rise to superficial criticisms, depreciatory of Holy Scripture, on the part both of those who are ignorant of Oriental literature, and of those who assume that the Books of Holy Scripture must be free from the literary characteristics of the writers’ age and nationality. In this verse Jehovah is represented as intensely grieved at the frustration of His purposes for the human race. The description is given in the childlike simplicity of the language of an early age…”
