By Michael Ashcraft — For centuries, the Bible seemed just plain erroneous. John said Jesus’ tomb was in a garden (John 19:19-20), but its historical setting was in a quarry. Rocky places are not known for good soil and flourishing olive trees. Atheists added it to the list of supposed contradictions and impossibilities in the Bible. Well, the rock just got dynamited. Archaeologists — poking around the digging for renovations at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem — have found evidence for olive trees and grape vines right in the quarry. “Now in the place where he was…

By Michael Ashcraft – It made no sense. Little Cameron just had an ear infection. Why would the doctor send him to the hospital in an ambulance? But Cameron’s mom insisted. God had told her that he had to go to the hospital. Paramedics couldn’t account for their trip. Never had an ear infection been cause for the ER. Nevertheless, doctors ran tests. There had been NO signs, but the blood test showed mom was right. “We’re so sorry,” doctors told her. “But 95% of your son’s blood cells are leukemia. He probably won’t make it through the night.” Cameron…

By Michael Ashcraft – An 11th-hour pitch to avoid getting hit with U.S. tariffs has failed, and the UK sees itself essentially sanctioned for the what the White House calls restrictions of free speech. UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer visited President Trump in a last ditch effort for special trading exemptions but saw his appeals rebuffed. Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters the recent clampdowns on free speech in the UK was the reason. Vance hinted at UK’s attempt to punish Elon Musk’s tweets on X, which have shed light on the UK’s unprosecuted grooming gangs and the imprisonment of…

By Michael Ashcraft – Hungary is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court and receiving Israeli Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu in a show of protest of the blatant politicalization of the institution that was intended to keep nations in line. “The ICC became a kangaroo court and the biggest purveyor of anti-semiteism in the world,” observed Yechiel Leiter, ambassador to the U.S., on CBN. “It’s imperative for all people bearing a good conscience to pull out of the ICC.” Hungary is being governed by conservatives who are trying to stem the tide of Islamic immigration that brings Middle Eastern radicalism to…

By Michael Ashcraft – One day, Abu Mohammad al-Julani was an al Qaeda-linked terrorist with a $10M bounty on his head from the U.S. State Department. The next day, it was dropped. How did he turn from terrorist to statesman in the good graces of the U.S.? He took over Syria, and he put on a suit. In one of the last acts of the Biden presidency, his status was changed. Ever believers in the essential goodness of the human heart, liberal politicians and diplomats said he had “evolved” beyond his origins with al Qaeda. They were crossing their fingers…

By Michael Ashcraft – Capitalizing on the pendulum swing towards faith in America, Disney just released its first animated Christian character in 20 years, but the series was modified from another trans acceptance story and leaves many questioning: Is this Christian? “Win or Lose” from the Pixar department features Laura who prays and pleases God on her dad’s baseball team. It originally was a story about Kai who comes out as trans to his/her dad, but Disney scrapped the LGBTQ agenda and turned it into a Christian plot. Neither Christians nor LGBTQ seem pleased with refurbished cartoon series – LGBTQ…

By Michael Ashcraft – Weiming Chen was doing what artists do, sculpting nudes, when he saw (he was in New Zealand) the Chinese tanks kill hundreds of democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989. “I should not care just about the beautiful woman’s body,” he thought to himself at the time. “I should care for human rights. If China no human rights, no freedom. You’re an artist, you’re free. I came to America and built this Liberty Sculpture Park.” On 36 acres on Interstate 15 near Barstow, CA, Liberty Sculpture Park features an ever-increasing number of sculptures that memorialize the…

By Michael Ashcraft – The biography of Muhammad comes from Germany in 1860, not from Islamic dynasties like Iraq or Saudi Arabia. Heinrich Ferdinand Wustenfeld compiled and narrated his life between 1858 and 1860 based on manuscripts from the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th centuries. Most of his material came from a document from the 16ht century. “This German scholar gives us the Muhammad that everybody is following,” says Dr. Jay Smith on a CIRA International youtube video. “This Muhammad is not from Ibn Hisham at all.” Muslims believe that Ibn Hisham collated the life story of Islam’s revered prophet, but…

By Michael Ashcraft – She’d live in a tent with her kids before she helped the killing of innocent babies. “I came home saying, I’m not going to do that, so if we have to live in a tent, we will,” Sue Thayor said. What would make the Storm City, Iowa, mom leave her steady, well-paid job with benefits after 17 years? Well, it wasn’t the ideal gig for a woman who believed abortion is murder. Sue was the manager of the local Planned Parenthood. “They must’ve been really desperate to give me the job,” she explains. She made it…

By Miguel Gutierrez— Even under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, Justin Kaniaupio Crespo felt there was a glass ceiling keeping him from an even more spiritual experience, so he dabbled in the occult. “I see these gurus, these monks and I’m like, Oh man it seems like they understand the place, they’re at peace,” Justin says on a Delafe video. “I was like that’s really cool and maybe I’ll be a monk one day.” Today Justin Kaniaupio Crespo, a native Hawaiian, is back to Jesus. The church hurt has been forgotten and forgiven. The deep dive into drugs and the…
