Parts of Europe descended into darkness Monday — whether it was the Dark Ages or Third World afflictions, you can decided. Spain, Portugal and parts of France experienced a massive power outage, leaving passengers stranded and nearly shutting down hospitals. This happened because Europe is now being lead by a 22-year-old Greta Thunberg, who has shoved “renewable” energy down everybody’s throats. So much for saving the environment — not to mention Greta’s future. The so-called “Net Zero” goal producing energy from non-fossil fuels is to blame. Spain has increased dependence on solar and other renewable sources and decreased its dependence…
Swarmed with doubts about his family’s Hinduism, Rahil Patel, a respected Swami priest in London, thumbed through a children’s Bible in a bookstore. “I opened it and started reading and I felt a connection so quickly, so easily I then had to shut the book quickly,” Rahil says in a Billy Graham Organization video. “I had to shut it quickly. It represented something completely opposite to what I represented.” He was raised in England in a Hindu family and hungered for whoever God was. “Hinduism is a canvas of hundreds of religions with different doctrines and ideas and philosophies,” Rahil…
By Michael Ashcraft – Faced with no finances, no family and no friends, Aicha Dramé tripped into stripping in Ottawa, Canada, and Nicki Minaj’s lyrics pushed her into the disreputable but profitable lifestyle, she says. “At that time, Nicki was popping,” the ex Muslim recounts. “She came out with the song Rich Sex which is basically about, if you’re gonna have sex with a man, he’d better have mad money, songs glorifying strippers, glorifying sex in exchange for money.” Eventually, Aicha climbed out of the glamorous but lost life into marriage, business and Jesus. Aicha Dramé began as an immigrant…
By Michael Ashcraft – When Than Baardson decided to go all-in in the fight against sex trafficking, he quit his job. THEN he told his wife. “Do we get the keep the house, or do we sell it?” his supportive wife, Emma, asked. Not only did Than and Emma keep the house. The North Dakota couple has filled it with two children. At the same time, they have saved hundreds of thousands worldwide from the scourge of sex trafficking. Than’s organization, Unseen, is helping groups worldwide find funding so that their boots-on-the-ground efforts are not hampered because of lack of…
By Michael Ashcraft – Antisemitism is so rampant in Ireland that Israel recently decided to close its embassy, making the Emerald Isle one of the only nations in Europe without a diplomatic envoy.

By Michael Ashcraft – After the loss of ideals during WWI, after Biblical criticism and evolution unleashed doubt, after atheists pulverized the Bible and promoted the utopia of rationalism, Western Europe qualified to be called “Post Christian.” Europe is now Post Post Christian. A new study from the UK shows church attendance rose 50% over the last six years. Bible sales exploded 87% from 2019 to 2024. The church is now more diverse, younger and more masculine, according to the UK’s Bible Society report titled “The Quiet Revival.” The newest statistics show a reversal of decades of decline that cratered…
By Michael Ashcraft – Disney continues to die with its latest shove-down-your-throat woke self-righteousness in Snow White. Meanwhile, Angel Studios/ Charles Dickens’ adapted re-telling of the life of Jesus, King of Kings, showed that families want heart-warming, faith-stirring movies. As of last weekend, King of Kings made $19 million compared to Snow White’s $2.8 million in box office tickets. Angel Studios showed Disney who is king. Snow White will have a hard time recovering production and marketing costs of $370 million. Rachel Zegler (who plays Snow White) alienated audiences by preaching against traditional power roles for women. Furthermore, Disney annoyed…

By Michael Ashcraft – There are about 1,000 deep cover operatives inside America today ready to commit the next wave of terrorism, says a former US spy who worked with the Afghan intelligence before Biden switched cooperation to the Taliban. “These 1,000 or so are deep cover operatives who report to Sirajuddin Haqqani” acting interior minister of Afghanistan, says “Legend,” an Afghan American former US Army Intel NCO who fought the War on Terror during various deployments in the Middle East. Sirajuddin in 2010 wrote a training manual teaching radicals in the West to “blend in, shave, wear Western dress,…
By Michael Ashcraft – Belief in Jesus roared back this year, making a 12% jump from 2021, the Barna Group reported this week. “It may be the clearest indication of meaningful spiritual renewal in the United States,” Barna says. Barna found a “groundswell of commitment to Jesus over the last four years.” According to its survey data, 66 percent of all U.S. adults say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their life today – up 12% from 2021. “Young people and adults are moving closer to God, have more interest in God,” says…
