“… O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths” (Isaiah 3:12)

No one has ever found all 12 layers of the "geologic column" stacked in one place on Earth. So how did it become the bedrock of evolutionary theory? My latest for @theTrumpet_com 👇
Runaway immigration, economic turmoil, political deadlock, repressed freedoms—how long will Germans put up with it?
It’s baffling that Donald Trump so covets a Nobel Peace Prize. It is an award not for real peacemakers, if there is such a thing in this world, but rather for the prize committee to make dubious political statements.
Case in point: The newest winner of the prize is Navi Pillay.
Pillay is an outspoken enemy of the Jewish state. She recently chaired a United Nations commission that accused the Jews of genocide in Gaza and Israel’s president, prime minister and former defense minister of inciting genocide. She likened their actions to those responsible for the Rwandan genocide. Pillay’s report barely mentioned the inhuman Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre that provoked the entire Gaza war.
- In July 2022, Pillay defended a fellow commissioner after he asked why Israel was even a member of the UN and said social media was “controlled largely by the Jewish lobby.”
- She has called Israel an apartheid state and signed the 2020 boycott-divestment-sanction petition “Sanction Apartheid Israel.”
- As UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2008–2014), she backed the Goldstone Report’s charge that Israel deliberately targeted civilians, and she kept backing it after Goldstone withdrew that finding.
Choosing her to receive the prize is a clear rebuke to President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who both rejected the UN commission’s Gaza report. Israel has accused Pillay of being a “Hamas proxy.”
Still, she is hardly the worst choice by a committee with a history of awarding its Peace Prize to people whose careers included terrorism, paramilitary command or large-scale civilian killing.
Among the clearest cases:
- Yasser Arafat (1994, for the Oslo Accords), founder of the terrorist group that carried out the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre and other deadly attacks. Netanyahu, then Israel’s opposition leader, called it a farce to give the award to “the person who invented international terrorism.”
- Aung San Suu Kyi (1991, for nonviolent opposition to Myanmar’s junta), who, after she entered government, defended the military’s 2017 campaign against the Rohingya, which UN investigators described as genocide. Several institutions stripped her of honors; the Nobel was not revoked.
- Abiy Ahmed (2019, for the Ethiopia–Eritrea peace deal), who, within a year, launched the Tigray war, which a UN commission found involved war crimes and crimes against humanity and which killed hundreds of thousands.
- Barack Obama (2009, reason unclear, since he had been president for less than nine months), who—among other acts Gerald Flurry details in "America Under Attack," backed the Islamist revolt that replaced Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak with the Muslim Brotherhood; ignored Iran’s 2009 uprising; signed a nuclear deal that freed Iranian spies, sent Tehran cash, and let Russia ship it enough uranium for about 10 bombs; approved an unauthorized 2011 war in Libya; stood down when Benghazi was attacked; and restored ties with Communist Cuba.
President Trump will be upset at being snubbed again, as he continues to boast of the “eight wars” he has ended, saying nobody in history is more deserving.
- But fighting has since resumed (or never stopped) in three of those eight conflicts, the value of American peace efforts in the others is in dispute, and the fiercest war of his presidency—Ukraine—continues despite all labors to stop it.
“The way of peace they know not,” wrote the Prophet Isaiah. True words, evidenced by all of human history—not least in our turbulent times:
- Last year saw eight interstate conflicts, the highest count since World War ii. In the first eight months of this year, Uppsala University’s Conflict Data Program shows 13 conflicts that have killed over a thousand people, and 63 with at least 25 deaths—matching last year’s war total with four months left in the year.
- Prophecy shows these wars and rumors of wars will climax in a world war on an unprecedented scale.
God alone knows the way of peace. Thankfully, He is about to enforce it and teach it to all mankind.

AI Is Making Kids Dumber
As humanity wrestles with the possibility of an AI-induced extinction event, another danger is already here: AI is making it easier for students not to think.
A new national survey found 76% of high school students admit to illicit tech use in class every day. More than 1 in 5 admit to using AI without permission.
And the real numbers may be worse.
Reasoning is one of the greatest gifts God gave man. But human nature is lazy.
The struggle a mind goes through to solve a problem is not an obstacle to learning. The struggle is the learning.
In Jesus’s parable of the talents, the servant who buried his one gift rather than use it was called “wicked and slothful," and the gift was taken from him (Matthew 25:26-29).
That’s what is happening to young people who are burying their God-given gift of reason: It is being taken from them.
Do all you can to protect and nurture this gift—both in your children and yourself.
Learn about the wonderful purpose for which God gave us this gift in Herbert W. Armstrong’s free booklet "What Science Can’t Discover About the Human Mind":

In 2003, the NFL refused to let Las Vegas buy a tourism ad during the Super Bowl.
Simply mentioning Las Vegas, it believed, could be seen as endorsing gambling.
By 2024, the Super Bowl was being played in Las Vegas—and gambling companies were official NFL partners.
What happened?
America didn't merely legalize gambling.
It made gambling frictionless.
Sports leagues, governments, universities, financial platforms and media companies have all found ways to profit from it.
The deeper problem is not merely that Americans are gambling more.
It is that principles once considered worth defending are increasingly negotiable when enough money is on the table.
The Bible identifies the root:
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” —1 Timothy 6:10
America's gambling crisis is ultimately about more than betting.
It is about what happens when a society loses its willingness to hold to principles—and begins calculating what those principles are worth.
