Timestamp: (3:11). Where did all the Aghan lovers go?
Timestamp: (9:56). Israel hits Iran.
Timestamp: (13:07). Why now? Why did Israel pick this time to strike?
Timestamp: (17:02). Why is the US being drawn into this war?
Timestamp: (22:26). Trump made two promises he can’t keep when campaigning last year.
Timestamp: (24:13). How bad is this rift in MAGA on a potential joining of the war against Iran?
Timestamp: (33:52). The dangers of mission creep?
Timestamp: (36:59). Why Trump is to blame for this mess; and why he should probably do it.
Timestamp: (43:12). Trump bungles -- badly -- why Russia is no longer in the G7.
Timestamp: (46:37). Ukraine continues to be pummeled by Russia from the air.

Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.
If you’re new to the show, let me say this. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some verses from the Bible (without being too pushy).
My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).
Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.
As a reminder, monthly paid subscribers through Substack also get access to bonus audio summaries and special “Insider Brief” newsletters. These typically drop once a week.

White House welcomes Afrikaners to the U.S., but drops protection for Afghan allies
Trump is about to cross his base — BIG TIME. No matter what he does, really.
As one analyst said so well…
When he campaigned last year, Trump convinced one set of Americans he was going to be Israel’s biggest ally.
But he convinced another set of Americans that he was totally turning the page on American foreign policy.
And these ideas are not reconcilable.
Trump probably hopes Israel can finish the job, but is not clear that they can.
And Charlie Kirk and other big name MAGA supporters are trying to keep Trump from bombing Iran.
See this poll, which ran on X.
And here’s Charlie Kirk warning what a threat this issue is to Trump and MAGA.
Parades, protests, and BIG problems ahead. Trump's current nightmare examined.
Ukraine news:
Incredible accuracy.
And I had mentioned in my podcast, probably a month or six weeks ago, that Ukrainian air power was increasingly being used in offensive strikes on the front line.
And this appears to be continuing with increasing frequency.
Let’s end with some notes on faith
As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person. I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.
By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. I also have listed a hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the page: PTSD.
Let’s end with some notes on faith
Reminder: If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to read some of it for the first time in a while (or maybe ever), check out my resource page here. I know it’s a big book that can seem overwhelming, but that link can help you. And yes, you can read it from a phone, computer, laptop, etc. (See my link above.)
I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below.
Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?

I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Chrisitan or not.
