TRUMP: ‘I JUST FELT IT WAS TIME’: His peace overtures rebuffed by Russian President Vladimir Putin yet again, President Donald Trump reluctantly ordered what he called “massive sanctions,” on Russia’s two biggest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, in the hope that targeting Putin’s primary source of income will force him to agree to freeze the Ukraine war at the current battle lines.

“These are tremendous sanctions. These are very big against their two big oil companies,” Trump said in a social media post by the White House. “And we hope that they won’t be on for long. We hope that the war will be settled.”

“They’re massive sanctions,” Trump said during an Oval Office sit-down with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. “They do a lot of oil. And hopefully it will push, hopefully he’ll [Putin] become reasonable, and hopefully Zelensky will be reasonable too.”

Vice President JD Vance expressed alarm on Thursday about the Israeli legislature’s vote that would claim sovereignty over swaths of the West Bank, calling the move an “insult” to the Trump administration because it could threaten peace in the region.

Before departing for the United States at the end of his two-day trip to the Jewish state, Vance denounced the Knesset’s vote as a “very stupid political stunt.”

“I personally take some insult to it,” he said at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. “The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel.”

It has been about six months since we last wrote about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

When President Donald Trump issued an executive order declaring a “national energy emergency,”’ he directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to prioritize refilling the SPR to its full capacity, which is approximately 714 million barrels.

At the time, the reserve held around 394 million barrels-about 55% of capacity-after historic drawdowns during the Biden administration. As a reminder, in April 2024, the Biden administration refused to purchase oil to refill its reserves.

As the government shut down continued on Wednesday,  with essential government employees working without pay for the 16th straight work day, some Democrat lawmakers were not bashful about explaining their strategy.

“Shutdowns are terrible and of course there will be, you know, families that will suffer,” acknowledged Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), the House Minority Whip, during an interview, Wednesday.  “We take that responsibility very seriously but it is one of the few leverage times we have.”

President Trump’s “rapid response” team responded on X: “These people are SICK!”

Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) has also made clear that causing pain and suffering is a large part of the Democrats’ shutdown strategy.

“They [Republicans] have had months to negotiate,” Sanders said in a recent interview. “You reopen the government and we lose our leverage,” he added. “There has to be an agreement right now—That’s what this whole shutdown is about.”

What really happens at these so-called peaceful No Kings rallies? BlazeTV host Alex Stein went inside a Dallas, Texas, protest to find out — and the footage was anything but peaceful.

In a clip of Stein walking through the protest, he’s swarmed by screaming leftists, calmly talking to the camera, before one protester steals his hat in an attempt to shut him down.

“Someone who was truly anti-fascist would want as much speech as possible, wouldn’t they? Wouldn’t they? I mean, after all, fascism always involves suppression of dissent and censorship of unwanted speech. Those are, like, two key components of fascism. Tyranny always shuts dissenting speech down,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, disturbed by Stein’s experience.

There it was right there in the middle of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that told elected officials they weren’t the boss over President Donald Trump federalizing the Oregon National Guard.

There was a list explaining the protest activity outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) HQ by Antifa, and the Portland Police Bureau’s enabling of the lawbreaking and antisocial behavior, including this item:

September 6, there were 50 to 60 “very active protest[e]rs/black blockers/agitators” at the gate. There was lots of noise, flashing lights, and swinging sticks. [Federal Protective Service] was pushing out to allow vehicles to enter, and the PPB observed approximately 50 people in the driveway. FPS had 26 officers on duty.

And here’s another example, carried out right under the noses of the Portland Police Bureau, which the court felt compelled to mention in the federal case.

Why? Because death threats against federal officers are not a small thing.

Cardinal Parolin slammed for downplaying Muslim terrorist attacks against Nigerian Christians– www.lifesitenews.com

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is under fire for remarks that downplay the terror attacks that Christians in Nigeria have been suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists for decades.

Parolin was the keynote speaker for an event held at the Vatican on Tuesday. The gathering focused on the recently released 2025 Religious Freedom Report published by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

ACN surveyed 196 countries for its report. It found that just under two-thirds of the world’s population live in countries with “serious or very serious violations of religious freedom.” Twenty-four countries, including Nigeria, received the “worst” category in its report: persecution.

The report notes that “organized crime is a key driver of persecution or discrimination” in Nigeria. It also found that persecution in Nigeria “results from a combination of authoritarian governance and religious extremism.”

“Nigeria has experienced a sharp rise in religiously motivated violence, especially in the North and the Middle Belt,” it recalls. “Armed groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and radicalized Fulani herdsmen have targeted churches, villages and religious leaders, leading to widespread displacement, land seizures, and attacks on Christian communities.”

China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has long taken a carrot-and-stick approach to the island, subjecting it to almost daily military drills while reaching out to those it believes are receptive to Beijing’s point of view. Taiwan’s government says the Republic of China is a sovereign state and Beijing has no right to speak for or represent it.

Mehdi Hasan to American Christians: “If You Can Have Your Church Bell, We Can Have Our Islamic Prayer Call”– gellerreport.com

The Islamic call to prayer is a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a religion that directs its believers to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29).

The adhan (Islamic call to prayer), prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” six times, “I testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice. (Robert Spencer)

On its face, one cannot liken the shrill abrasion of the nails-on-chalkboard adhan to the ethereal grandeur of symphonic church bells. But more specifically, church bells have no verbal content. And church bells are rung one or twice a week, the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast five times a day at deafening levels beginning pre-dawn.

Not to mention what the cries of “Allahu akbar” evokes.
