If you have been following my website for any length of time you know I love to cite quotes by famous people to support my devotions. Below are twenty of my favorite apologetics quotes that I have used in some of my past 1450+ devotions over the past four years. I hope they bless you.1
“Stephen Hawking said, ‘religion is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.’ I said, ‘atheism is a fairy story for people afraid of the light.’” – John Lennox
“Just one living cell in the human body is, more complex than New York City.” – Linus Pauling
“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.” – Charles Colson
“The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.” – John Stott
“It always amuses me that atheists often argue for the existence of extra-terrestrial intelligence beyond earth. Yet they are only too eager to denounce the possibility that we already have a vast, intelligent being out there: God.” – John Lennox
“I believe it takes far more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God. Atheists believe that everything that exists (the entire universe with its billions of stars and planets) came from nothing and by nothing. Nobody x Nothing = Everything. That takes a lot of faith!” – Charlie Campbell
“To be an atheist you must have infinite knowledge in order to know absolutely that there is no God. But to have infinite knowledge, you would have to be God yourself. It’s hard to be God yourself and an atheist at the same time!” – Ron Carlson and Ed Decker
“Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. Materialists believe in the virgin birth of the cosmos. Choose your miracle.” – Glen Scrivener
“Infidels of eighteen hundred years have been refuting and overthrowing this book, and yet it stands today as solid rock. Its circulation increases, and it is more loved and cherished and read today than ever before. Infidels, with all their assaults, make about as much impression on this book as a man with a tack hammer would on the Pyramids of Egypt.
“When the French monarch proposed the persecution of Christians in his dominion, an old statesman and warrior said to him, ‘Sire, the church of God is an anvil that has worn out many hammers.’ So, the hammers of infidels have been pecking away at this book for ages, but the hammers are worn out, and the anvil still endures. If this book had not been the book of God, men would have destroyed it long ago. Emperors and popes, kings and priests, princes and rulers have all tried their hand at it; they die and the book still lives.” – H. L. Hastings
“The tooth of time gnaws all books but the Bible… Nineteen centuries of experience have tested it. It has passed through critical fires no other volume has suffered, and its spiritual truths have endured the flames and come out without so much as the smell of burning.” – W.E. Sangster
“A thousand times over, the death knell of the Bible has been sounded, the funeral procession formed, the inscription cut on the tombstone, and committal read. But somehow the corpse never stays put. No other book has been so chopped, knifed, sifted, scrutinized, and vilified. What book on philosophy or religion or psychology … of classical or modern times has been subject to such a mass attack as the Bible? With such venom and skepticism? With such thoroughness and erudition? Upon every chapter, line and tenet? The Bible is still loved by millions, read by millions, and studied by millions.” – Bernard Ramm
“There’s more code and sophisticated nanomachinery in just one of your forty trillion cells than in your smartphone and probably every other gadget you own. If the code and nanomachinery in your smartphone requires intelligence, wouldn’t the far superior technology inside of you also require intelligence?” – Frank Turek
“The BIBLE — banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it, dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints.” – Charles Colson
“The Bible is the most well-known book in the history of the world, and no book has been attacked more. Skeptics have tried to destroy the authority of the Bible for the last eighteen hundred years. It has undergone every kind of scrutiny possible from archaeology, science, philosophy, and computers. Yet, despite all these attacks, the Bible proves itself to be true again and again. Each time the skeptics have been wrong, and the Bible has proven itself true. Just the fact that the Bible has remained steadfast in its authority after two thousand years is another piece of evidence supporting its divine origin.” – Patrick Zuckeran
“If all we need is a teacher of enlightenment, the Buddha will do; if all we need is a collection of gods for every occasion and need and hope, Hinduism will do; if all we need is a tribal deity, any tribal deity will do; if all we need is a lawgiver, Moses will do; if all we need is a set of rules and a way of devotion, Muhammad or Joseph Smith will do; if all we need is inspiration and insight into the sovereign self, Oprah will do; but if we need a savior, only Jesus will do. – Albert Mohler
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher. He’d be either a lunatic on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg or else he’d be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” – C. S. Lewis
“As if they had minds of their own, your new cells-some of them eventually reproducing in the womb at a rate of more than 100,000 per second-knew where to go and what to do in order to become each of your major organs. How did certain cells “know” to become heart cells, while others “knew” to become brain cells? There is no known material explanation for their goal-directedness.” – Frank Turek
“The believer in God must explain one thing, the existence of sufferings; the nonbeliever, however, must explain the existence of everything else.” – Dennis Prager
“I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.” – H. G. Wells
“Far from belief in God hindering science, it was the motor that drove it. Isaac Newton, when he discovered the law of gravitation, did not make the common mistake of saying: ‘now I have a law of gravity, I don’t need God.’ Instead, he wrote Principia Mathematica, the most famous book in the history of science, expressing the hope that it would persuade the thinking man to believe in a Creator.” – John Lennox

TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
2 Chronicles 32:1-33:13
Romans 15:23-16:9
Psalm 25:16-22
Proverbs 20:16-18
2 Chronicles 32:1 — We met Sennacherib last month in 2 Kings 18.
2 Chronicles 32:9 — Sennacherib was at Lachish. Yes, indeed he was. In Lachish today you can see the siege ramps Sennacherib built:
In the British Museum you can see the massive Lachish Reliefs that depict this battle:
2 Chronicles 32:18 — Today this is called PsyOps:
Psychological operations (PSYOPS) are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.
2 Chronicles 32:21 — The Chronicler simplifies the account, noting that Hezekiah prayed, and the LORD sent an angel to deliver them.
2 Chronicles 32:25 — Hezekiah was the great king of Judah who started with such an urgent following of God. He was also the king who had previously stripped the temple of the gold to bribe Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:14-16), who had lifted up his heart (2 Chronicles 32:25), and who had boasted to the Babylonians of his wealth (2 Chronicles 32:31). Even good rulers can struggle greatly, but in spite of his sins, he was recognized as one of the chiefest sons of David (2 Chronicles 32:33).
2 Chronicles 33:1 — The worry of every parent’s heart.
2 Chronicles 33:9 — The son of the great King Hezekiah, made the people “do worse than the heathen.” But God wasn’t done with Manasseh (2 Chronicles 33:13)!
Romans 15:24 — Interestingly, there is some debate as to whether Paul reached Spain. Since the answer is not found within Scripture, it is hard to be dogmatic on the issue.
Romans 15:27 — Paul contrasts carnal things with spiritual things as a motive for Christian giving. The spiritual things are by necessity better, but they can be recognized with the carnal things.
Psalm 25:16 — Like Hezekiah, the Psalmist cries out for mercy. Can God bring people out of distress (Psalm 25:17)? Hezekiah can emphatically testify, “Yes!”
Proverbs 20:16 — Solomon argues against cosigning for people. We’ve addressed the fact that up to 75% of borrowers with a cosigner end up defaulting on their loan. If you are dealing with someone who is surety (a cosigner) for a stranger (much less a close relative), know that this is someone without wisdom and makes very poor (unwise) financial choices. He is headed for bankruptcy soon. Don’t lose your collateral (garment).

Lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be redeemed among the nations. (Numbers 23:9)
Who would wish to dwell among the nations and to be numbered with them? Why, even the professing church is such that to follow the Lord fully within its bounds is very difficult. There is such a mingling and mixing that one often sighs for “a lodge in some vast wilderness.”
Certain it is that the Lord would have His people follow a separated path as to the world and come out decidedly and distinctly from it. We are set apart by the divine decree, purchase, and calling, and our inward experience has made us greatly to differ from men of the world; and therefore our place is not in their Vanity Fair, nor in their City of Destruction, but in the narrow way where all true pilgrims must follow their Lord.
This may not only reconcile us to the world’s cold shoulder and sneers but even cause us to accept them with pleasure as being a part of our covenant portion. Our names are not in the same book, we are not of the same seed, we are not bound for the same place, neither are we trusting to the same guide; therefore it is well that we are not of their number. Only let us be found in the number of the redeemed, and we are content to be off and solitary to the end of the chapter.
It seems like so many people are hurting these days. There are personal hurts that come our way like health issues and broken relationships. Many of us are hurting because we’re watching someone we love suffer- an adult child going through a divorce, an elderly relative with Alzheimer’s. And the birth pains the world is going through – ISIS murdering our brothers and sisters in Christ, the rampant filth and debauchery that’s flooding our own culture here in the U.S., and so much more – make it burdensome just to inhabit the planet. It’s no wonder so many of us are limping around in pain just trying to make it through. Everywhere we turn, it’s bad news.
But for those of us who are in Christ, there’s also good news. Good news that trumps any piece of bad news we could possibly receive.
I know that may sound obvious, but sometimes we need to be reminded. We’ve all heard stories about a person who received the diagnosis of some terminal disease with a smile and a “Praise the Lord!” We’ve all run into that lady whose hair could be currently on fire who would brush off our concerns for her with, “Honey, I’m too blessed to be stressed!” And if that’s genuinely the heart of those people, that’s great. They can be very inspiring.
But that doesn’t mean you’re any less of a Christian, or that you don’t trust God, if your doctor tells you that you have cancer and you fall apart. Or if you get that devastating news and you don’t bounce back right away.
Whether we realize it or not, there’s often a subtle pressure we church ladies put on ourselves to walk into God’s house and paste on a smile and pretend like these devastating things don’t bother us. We think that’s faith. We think that shows that we completely trust God. But is that what faith and trust really mean?
Whether we realize it or not, there’s often a subtle pressure we church ladies put on ourselves to walk into God’s house and paste on a smile and pretend like these devastating things don’t bother us.Tweet
Some of the greatest men and women of faith in the Bible were hurt deeply and mourned over that hurt.
God said David was “a man after God’s own heart,” yet look at so many of the Psalms he wrote, especially when he was running for his life from Saul.
I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
My eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
Psalm 6:6-7
Time and again, we see passages like that in David’s writings. God never rebukes him or tells him to just put on a happy face.
And what about Jesus? Remember the shortest verse in the Bible? In the story of Jesus raising Lazarus, John 11:35 says “Jesus wept.” The Bible doesn’t tell us precisely why He wept. Maybe it was for one of the same reasons we suffer- the personal pain of losing a loved one, the pain of watching Mary and Martha suffer, or the pain of experiencing a broken world where sin causes awful things like death and disease. But whatever the reasons for His pain, Jesus didn’t plaster on a fake smile and pretend everything was fine.
On the cross at Jesus’ moment of greatest anguish, when the weight of the sin of the world was bearing down on Him, and the wrath of God was being poured out on Him in all its fury, and Jesus was experiencing first hand that it was the will of God to crush Him, Jesus cried out from the depths of His soul, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
David, Jesus, and so many other faithful men and women of God grieved. God’s people hurt sometimes, and that’s OK. You do not have to smile and pretend everything is OK when it’s not. It is OK to be sad when you’re hurting.
God’s people hurt sometimes, and that’s OK. You do not have to smile and pretend everything is OK when it’s not. It is OK to be sad when you’re hurting.Tweet
But the second piece of good news is this:
Because those of us who are truly born again believers have hope. And His name is Jesus. And He is enough. Jesus is enough for anything you’re going through.
If you watch “Christian TV” or read a lot of the books you’ll find in Christian bookstores by preachers with shiny teeth and even shinier hair, or, heaven help you, if you’re on Facebook, the message you will often hear about suffering is this:
“The pain you’re going through right now is nothing compared to the size of the blessing you’re about to receive.”
or
“It’s never God’s will for you to be sick or in lack. If you just have enough faith (and sow a seed into my ministry), God will bless you.”
or
“Your words create your reality. If you speak positive words (I’m wealthy, I’m successful, I’m healed), you will attract those positive things into your life. If you speak negative words, negative things will happen.”
So if you listen to these guys, in addition to the difficult circumstances that are going on in your life, you now have the pressure of “I’m still sick. I must not have enough faith.” or “Oh no, I accidentally spoke a negative word! I’m doomed to a life of poverty.” or “I thought my blessing was right around the corner. Why am I still suffering?”
Our hope is not found in “everything’s going my way” circumstances. Our hope is found in Christ, *regardless* of our circumstances.Tweet
Don’t believe those lies. God doesn’t promise any of that malarky in the Bible, because our hope is not found in “everything’s going my way” circumstances. Our hope is found in Christ, regardless of our circumstances. Your circumstances may not get better. You may get that terminal disease and die from it. Your husband who left you for another woman may never come back. Your baby might be born with a disability. Sometimes circumstances don’t get better, but Jesus gets only gets better and better with each passing day.
God never promised you “Your Best Life Now.” He promises you Christ. And Christ is enough. And you can rejoice in that.Tweet
God never promised you “Your Best Life Now.” He promises you Christ. And Christ is enough. And you can rejoice in that.
Why?
Because He knows what you’re going through.
Speaking of Jesus, Isaiah 53:3 says:
He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
There’s nothing you can go through about which you can honestly say, “God doesn’t understand.” Jesus has been there. He knows what it’s like.
Why can you rejoice that Christ is enough?
Because He loves and cares for you more than you could ever imagine.
Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, left all his glory behind. For you. He lived a sinless life. For you. He endured being hated, mistreated, and misunderstood. For you. He was whipped, tortured, and humiliated. For you. He took the nails. He took your sin. He took the wrath of His Father. For you. And three days later, He got up out of the grave. For you.
Jesus loves you. He hurts when you hurt. He wants to be the one you run to and pour out your heart to when everything is falling apart so He can comfort you with His presence and His word. He wants you to “cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you.”
Why can you rejoice that Christ is enough?
Because the One who went through it all FOR you will walk through it all WITH you. And when you’re too weak to walk any more, He’ll carry you through it.
In Matthew 28:20, the Great Commission, Jesus says,
“I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
In Hebrews 13:5b, He says,
be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Jesus isn’t going anywhere. He’s going to be right there with you no matter what.
Why can you rejoice that Christ is enough?
Because He sends you brothers and sisters in the faith to help you.
Church family is such a precious gift to us from Christ.
Matthew 25:36-40 is about the final judgment, and when Christ’s people stand before Him, He talks about how they have ministered to their brothers and sisters:
I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
When we’re hurting, we allow our church family to minister to us because that is Christ’s gift to us. When we’re able, we turn around and minister to our church family out of love for Christ. We carry our brothers and sisters because Christ carries us.
Why can you rejoice that Christ is enough?
Because what He wants to do IN you is better than what you want Him to do FOR you.
You want Him to bring relief to a temporary problem. He wants to do the eternal in you- make you more like Christ. Romans 5:3-5 says:
we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
We rejoice in our sufferings because, through them, God makes us more like Christ. And, as Christians, that’s our number one desire- to be like Him.
What Christ wants to do IN you is better than what you want Him to do FOR you.Tweet
Why can you rejoice that Christ is enough?
Because you have the hope of Heaven.
Some days the only thing that gets me through is knowing that this life with all its hurts and problems won’t last forever. One day all of this is going to be gone, and God is going to set everything right. In the scope of eternity, this life and the suffering we endure is so short. James says our lives are a “mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says:
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Revelation 21:3-4:
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Keep things in perspective by keeping your focus on the hope of Heaven.
If you are in Christ, you have every reason to rejoice in the Lord, even in suffering, because Christ is enough: He knows what you’re going through, He loves you, He’ll walk through it with you, He has given you church family to help, He’s making you more Christ-like, and because you have the hope of Heaven.
He is enough, so rejoice. Because if Christ isn’t enough, what is?
He is enough, so rejoice. Because if Christ isn’t enough, what is?
Everything short of hell is mercy. This one truth should change the way we view our hardships and frustrations, no matter how terrible they may be. If we, as sinners, are not facing the wrath of the infinitely Holy God at this moment, our life is better than we deserve. That is true for every Christian and non-Christian alive right now.
We tend to look at the pleasures we experience in this life and assume that is how it should be. We look at the life of an averagely happy person and think we deserve the same. That misleading assumption is spewed forth by the father of lies and exists for the sole purpose of causing our hard hearts to shake our fists at the God of grace when life does not meet our expectations.
Our ingratitude, alone, is sin enough to condemn us for all eternity. Yet here we sit, surrounded by so many pleasures of life and taking them for granted, as if God owes it to us. To help us keep things in perspective, here are a few things we may experience that are better than what we deserve.
It is incredible how much time we can spend complaining about the items at the bottom of the list, especially in light of the items at the top. Yet, the entire list is mercy compared to hell.
For those who reject Christ, everything on this list will soon come to an end. When the mercy ends, the list above will seem like heaven compared to what they will face for eternity. They will go from mercy to justice.
For those who come to Jesus in faith, everything on that list will soon end for them as well. Christian, your pain and frustrations are only temporary. You will soon enter into the King’s presence, where there will be no more tears or sorrow. You will go from mercy to mercy. Hold on for just a little longer. This mercy and grace are possible because Jesus bore our wrath on the cross, and his righteousness is counted as ours.
No matter what we face as believers, we have every reason to rejoice in the Lord. Not only are our hardships better than we deserve, but he has promised to strengthen and comfort us when we face them. Meditate on this truth, and let it flood your heart with gratitude. We serve a Good and Gracious King.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice. – Philippians 4:4
-D. Eaton
‘Strong’ geomagnetic storm watch
A chunk of solar stuff hit Earth earlier today. Earth’s geomagnetic field reached the G1 (minor) storm threshold at 3 UTC on July 30 (late last night according to clocks in the Americas). And more is ahead today, especially for those in Europe. Spaceweather forecasters are calling for G1-G2 (minor-moderate) geomagnetic storming up to a G3 (strong) during the rest of today. The G3 storm is expected when the Americas are still in daylight. Will it last into tonight according to American clocks? Maybe.
The truth about Gov. Walz and the National Guard
Frey said he immediately telephoned Walz, at 6:29 p.m., relayed information, and asked him to send in the National Guard. “We expressed the seriousness of the situation. The urgency was clear,” Frey said. “He did not say yes,” Frey said of Walz. “He said he would consider it.” Frey insisted that he explicitly asked whether his verbal requests constituted a formal request, and the governor’s staff confirmed that they did. The governor’s office disputes that. The National Guard was not on scene that afternoon. Soldiers were sent to other locations, including the Capitol in St. Paul, but the Guard didn’t arrive to the south Minneapolis area of the Third Precinct until almost 4 a.m. By then, most of the rioters were gone, and the precinct had been burning for hours. Incredibly, the Governor’s daughter seemed to have knowledge of these operational discussions and tweeted out updates containing sensitive information:
‘Deep inside they curse Hezbollah’: Beirut resident fears Israeli attack
Beirut resident Dani Elias heard about the Majdal Shams massacre — where 12 children and teenagers were murdered — while watching television. He then turned it off and began cursing. In a special article, Elias wrote for Ynet and its sister publication Yedioth Ahronoth, he described the fear of the Israeli response, Hezbollah’s preparations, and the criticism against the terrorist organization.
Explosion in Beirut, Hezbollah commander responsible for killing children targeted
The IDF confirmed that the senior Hezbollah commander responsible for the murder of 12 Israeli children on Saturday was targeted in a UAV strike in Beirut. The commander was reportedly Hezbollah’s second-highest ranking official, Fuad Shukr, who also known as Hajj Mohsin, according to Lebanese reports. Mohsin played a role in the 1983 bombing of the US army barracks in Beirut in which 241 American servicemen were killed. He has a $5 million bounty on his head.
California’s Park Fire now among 5 largest in state history as hero firefighters work to douse flames
Firefighters continue their effort to extinguish what is now the sixth-largest wildfire in California history as thousands of residents being threatened by the Park Fire wait for the all-clear from officials to return to their evacuated homes.
Violence rocks Minneapolis Aquatennial weekend, including 3 homicides; MPD asks for help
The Minneapolis Police Department issued a press release Sunday night recapping a violent Aquatennial weekend that included 10 violent incidents, of which three were homicides— including two shootings and one stabbing—and said they’re asking for help from other law enforcement agencies to quell the violence.
SA Chief Rabbi to PM Netanyahu: ‘Israel needs to know that it is alone in the world’
Rabbi Goldstein opened his comments by saying that, “The unprecedented fourth speech by an Israeli Prime Minister to the United States Congress amidst innumerable standing ovations should not lull Israel into thinking that it can rely on a polarized America to save it from the existential threat that a nuclear Iran poses. If Israel does not destroy Iran’s production of nuclear weapons, no one else will. Israel has been here before.”
Pope Francis silent on Olympic opening while scandal-plagued Vatican archbishop defends it
The often scandalous Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia has issued a contradictory defense of the Olympic opening ceremony featuring a drag queen mockery of the Last Supper, while Pope Francis has remained notably silent about the incident. That “profound question” Paglia described as being that “everyone, but really everyone, wants to sit at that table where Jesus gives life for all and teaches love.”
Netanyahu and Hamas trade accusations over lack of progress in hostage ceasefire negotiations
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office traded accusations with the Hamas terror group on Monday evening, over the apparent lack of progress in securing a hostage release ceasefire deal at the Rome negotiations. “The Hamas leadership is preventing an agreement. Israel did not change or add any condition to the outline. On the contrary, until this moment it has been Hamas that has demanded 29 changes and has not responded to the original outline. Israel stands by its principles according to the original outline – maximizing the number of live abductees, Israeli control of the Philadelphi Corridor, and preventing the passage of terrorists and weapons into the northern Gaza Strip.”
After restoring funding to UNRWA, new British Labour government to impose arms embargo on Israel within days, weeks
The new British Labour government is expected to suspend some arms exports to Israel, the Telegraph reported on Monday, citing two Israeli sources that stated that the United Kingdom and Israel are engaged in “intense talks” regarding the issue. Labour was expected to announce its decision to withhold some weapons exports to Israel on Tuesday, but due to the Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 12 Israeli Druze children on Saturday in Majdal Shams, the British government may postpone until later this summer, the Telegraph reported.
Highest Ranking Hezbollah Commander Killed in Airstrike
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the targeted killing of Sami Taleb Abdullah, a senior Hezbollah commander, in an airstrike on Tuesday night. Abdullah, 55, who led the Nasr Unit or “Victory Force,” was responsible for the eastern sector of Southern Lebanon. His death represents a significant blow to the Iranian-backed terror group’s operations in the region. … He is the most senior Hezbollah figure among the approximately 300 terrorists killed since the group began near-daily assaults on Israel following Hamas’s massacre on October 7.
Mossad Chief Back from Rome as Hostage Release Talks Progress
Mossad director David Barnea returned from Rome on Sunday night following another round of intense negotiations aimed at securing a ceasefire agreement with the Hamas terrorist group.

Will Turkey Try To Invade Israel Once The End Times War In The Middle East Spirals Out Of Control?
Did you see what just happened in the Middle East?

…Donald Trump got shot and that shook people up for a few days, but that didn’t last for long. Then there was a soft coup in the Democratic Party, and that got people fired up for a little bit, but that quickly faded. Of course, there is a small minority that is awake and that understands that we are living in truly historic times, but the vast majority of the population appears to be clueless.

We’ll give Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe credit: He says he’s ashamed, and he should be. After all, his agency is responsible for one of if not the most catastrophic security failures in Secret Service history.
Rowe testified yesterday during a joint congressional hearing, and he acquitted himself far more honorably than did his predecessor, disgraced DEI hire and former Pepsi security director Kim Cheatle.
Indeed, Rowe at least owned up to the spectacular security lapses that allowed a 20-year-old would-be assassin to make multiple reconnaissance trips to Donald Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania, rally site; to fly a drone at the site just hours before the attack; to be seen suspiciously walking around outside the rally with a backpack and using a rangefinder some 90 minutes before Trump took the stage; to climb upon the most advantageous rooftop position available despite having been seen by multiple bystanders who were frantically pointing him out to law enforcement; and to fire off at least six rounds before finally being taken out by Secret Service countersnipers. And all this, most outrageously, while Donald Trump was allowed to take the stage and thereby expose himself to a known threat.
Yes, it’s true that President John F. Kennedy was actually assassinated, while former president Trump escaped that same fate by a literal inch. And Sara Jane Moore fired a .38 caliber revolver at President Gerald Ford from 40 feet away outside a San Francisco hotel in 1975. And John Hinckley opened fire on President Ronald Reagan from just feet away outside the Hilton hotel in 1981.
But think of the tactical and procedural improvements that have been adopted by the Secret Service in the more than 60 years since Kennedy was killed. And think of the surveillance and communicative and technological capabilities that today’s Secret Service has at its disposal compared to those of decades ago.
To say that these lapses were both shocking and disgraceful is to be kind. To suggest anything more nefarious than profound and even willful negligence, though, is to enter a very dark place.
And yet, the American people deserve answers. Why, for example, can our best intelligence services not access the encrypted communications of the assassin, when they can seemingly access every other communication under the sun?
Why is it that Andrew Torba, the CEO of the Gab social media platform, “is pushing back against claims made by [FBI] deputy director Paul Abbate that the agency has found anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic posts made by the shooter, Thomas Crooks”?
As the National Pulse adds:
Abbate, during a joint hearing before two U.S. Senate committees on Tuesday, claimed the bureau had found what it believes to be social media posts made by Crooks between 2019 and 2020 that contained the racially charged comments.
“This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (EDR) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account ‘EpicMicrowave’ which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks,” Torba wrote in a post on X responding to Abbate’s claims. He continued: “Normally we don’t confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.”
Wrote Torba: “The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy,” adding: “To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.”
So, according to the FBI, Crooks was “a registered Republican.” But according to a more honest and forthcoming broker, Crooks’s leanings were “unequivocally” “pro-Biden.”
“I believe that the Secret Service leadership made a political decision to deny these requests [for additional security],” said a clearly frustrated Texas Senator Ted Cruz. “And I think the Biden administration has been suffused with partisan politics.”
To deny that politics may have played a part in the denial of additional security for Trump is to ignore the fact that the Biden administration continually denied Secret Service protection to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. despite his family’s awful history of assassination, and despite the fact that Kennedy himself posed a serious threat to Joe Biden’s reelection prospects.
And not everyone at the Secret Service is content to simply moving forward without holding people accountable.
Consider the desperate measure undertaken by a Secret Service countersniper and 20-year employee, who on Monday night sent a lengthy email to everyone in the agency’s Uniform Division. According to that email: “We all SHOULD expect another [assassination] attempt to happen before November. This agency NEEDS to change, if not now, WHEN? The NEXT assassination attempt in 30 days?”
In response, Senator Marsha Blackburn said to Rowe: “The public has lost trust in the ability to execute the mission to protect, and I want to know how you feel about the fact that employees in your agency are worried about covering their behind and not worried about protecting a former president.”

The BIG Lies
“In recent years, extreme opinions that the Supreme Court has handed down have undermined long-established civil rights principles and protections.” —Joe Biden
“I have great respect for our institutions and the separation of powers laid out in our Constitution. But what’s happening now is not consistent with that doctrine.” —Joe Biden
Fearmongering
“Now there’s an extreme movement and agenda called Project 2025. … They’re planning another onslaught, attacking civil rights in America.” —Joe Biden
“Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride.” —Kamala Harris
Delusions of Grandeur
“That I cured the economy. And the environment. And a few other small things.” —Joe Biden when asked, “What do you want your legacy for Gen Z to be?”
Shot/Chaser
“This natalism … comes from an authoritarian playbook, right? That there need to be more white children, right? … This is about great replacement theory racism, right? This is what this is, so don’t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.” —MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast after MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire remarked, “More and more Americans [are] choosing not to have kids, which again emphasizes why J.D. Vance’s comments about childless Americans, ‘childless cat ladies,’ could be so politically damaging.”
“What neither Jong-Fast nor Lemire acknowledged was the fact that JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance — the American-born daughter of Indian immigrants — are parents to three biracial children.” —The Daily Wire
Theater of the Absurd
“One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.” —Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
Praetorian Guard
“When she ran for president the first time, Kamala Harris darted to the left as she fought for attention from the Democratic Party’s liberal wing. … One presidential cycle later, with Vice President Harris less than a week into another race for the White House, video clips of her old statements and interviews are being weaponized as Republicans aim to define her as a left-wing radical who is out of step with swing voters.” —The New York Times’s Reid J. Epstein
Political Futures
“If Kamala Harris wants to be president, she’s going to have to talk about immigration, tariffs, the sky-high costs of groceries, housing, and raising a family — things that [J.D.] Vance has been talking about since he wrote ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ and that Trump understood instinctively when he ran against the Republican establishment and beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. The trouble for Harris is that her most enthusiastic supporters are the media’s mean girls, not parents or working-class stiffs, who probably seem ‘weird’ to the kids at places like New York magazine.” —Daniel McCarthy
Upright
“You may not agree with all of Vance’s proposals, like his affection for economic tariffs. But even when he’s wrong on specific policies, he’s thoughtfully trying to fix the right problems.” —Victor Joecks
For the Record
“Democratic Party voters might have voted for Joe Biden, but they got Kamala Harris. That’s like ordering a hamburger from your favorite spot and being handed a voucher for a I Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat wrap from the nearby deli with a 0-star rating on Yelp.” —Ian Haworth
“The regime masquerading as the Democratic Party cares about democracy as much as Biden cares about his illegitimate grandchild. Which is to say: not at all.” —Ian Haworth
“This fact is undeniable, no matter how much dishonest media try to obfuscate it: President Joe Biden appointed the vice president to stem the tide of migrants to the U.S. southern border. Period. No wiggle room. And the almost inarguable judgment is that she failed at the job. Miserably. The tide didn’t recede; it rose and crashed in huge waves upon our (figurative) shores.” —Salena Zito
And Last…
“The Left does not hate religion. It hates Christianity, Judeo-Christian values and the Bible. That is all you need to know to understand the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics.” —Dennis Prager
