Biblical law treats fraud as theft by deception. Exodus 22 commands restitution when a man deceives his neighbor in a matter of deposit or trade. Leviticus 19 forbids false weights and measures – “just balances, just weights” – because fraud is not merely a lie, it is robbery committed with words instead of hands. Proverbs 6 lists a lying tongue and a false witness among the seven things the Lord hates. And the ultimate fraud in Scripture is Satan himself, who appears as an angel of light – which is why Paul tells the Corinthians that even Satan disguises himself, and why Jesus warned that false prophets come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves. The law’s remedy was restitution and exposure. The Gospel’s remedy is discernment. This article applies that standard to one of the most successful frauds in American history.

America in the early 1800s was a nation in search of miracles. The Second Great Awakening had set the frontier on fire. Westward expansion opened lands no European had mapped. And the information ecosystem was a vacuum – no national press standards, no fact-checking culture, no mechanism for verifying extraordinary claims.

Into that vacuum stepped a parade of

Democrats, suffering from denial and delusion, tend to think of themselves as the guardians of the rule of law.

Back in reality, nothing could be further from the case.

Consider Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who fancies herself a rule of law-championing model immigrant despite the fact she literally conceded to her fellow Somalis that she is “Somali first” and “Muslim second.”

Earlier this month, Omar’s Washington, D.C., home was raided by the feds. Over a dozen Homeland Security Investigations agents, executing a duly issued search warrant, seized 17 items, including cellphones and notebooks.

Omar, always eager to play victim, dismissed the investigation as “bizarre,” “pointless” and an intimidation tactic from a political foe.

Former President Barack Obama defended her, using the same “intimidation” argument.

They’re wrong.

First, the magistrate judge who found probable cause to issue the warrant is

President Donald Trump throughout his terms as president has worked to lock down the U.S. border.

National security is a high priority for him, and the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden allowed in to the U.S. have left behind destruction to social service programs, budgets, aid programs and more.

But now the security plans have reached a new, almost storybook, level: The Department of Homeland Security has been given permission to use a military heat ray there.

A report at the Gateway Pundit said War Secretary Pete Hegseth provided the machine for seven months, on the condition no one from his department operate it.

“CBP is continually evaluating new technologies, especially those that enhance operational effectiveness and strengthen mission capabilities," a Customs and Border Protection official told CNN.

The machine is the Active Denial System and it fires an invisible, focused beam of 95-gigahertz millimeter-wave energy.

The Pentagon struck a massive agreement Thursday to procure at least 850 F-35 stealth fighters over the next decade.

The preliminary agreement with Lockheed Martin would establish a decade-long production framework for the advanced fighters, which military experts say are essential to penetrating enemy air defenses and confronting increasingly capable Chinese and Russian aircraft. However, the Pentagon has not publicly disclosed a price tag for the ambitious procurement effort, which includes billions in private investment and remains subject to congressional funding, according to the Department of War.

The massive F-35 agreement arrives as Lockheed Martin is enjoying record-breaking business, with its order backlog soaring 27% in the third quarter to an all-time high of nearly $292

Democratic candidates are raking in donations this election season for all kinds of reasons, but one source of funding is deeply concerning. The people who staff America's leading medical societies are overwhelmingly backing Democratic politicians, party committees, and political action committees. Regardless of which party prevails on Election Day, Americans should be very worried about the politicization of health care in this country.

We have reviewed federal election records to document political donations from staff at 10 of the nation's leading medical societies. The list includes the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, and more. Only one organization – the Pediatric Endocrine Society – had no recorded donations. But at the other nine, donations overwhelmingly favored liberal candidates.

All told, we found that over 70% of medical society staff who donated money this election cycle backed Democrats or other leftist candidates, party committees, and PACs. By contrast, less than 2% of medical society staff donated to conservatives. Even more telling, nearly 78% of total donations from medical society staff went to Democrats and the left. Republicans and others on the right got only 0.24%.
