Why some Iranians dance during war

Why are some Iranians dancing while war is unfolding in their country?

For more than 47 years, the Islamic regime ruling Iran has governed through fear, oppression, and bloodshed, reports International Christian Concern. The hands of this regime are stained with the blood of thousands of Iranian and American citizens. It has been one of the world’s leading sponsors of terrorism, spreading violence far beyond Iran’s borders.

At home, it has relentlessly persecuted Christians — executing some, imprisoning many, and forcing countless others into exile. Believers have been torn from their families, their homes, and their homeland, scattered across the world simply because they chose to follow Jesus Christ.

When some Iranians celebrate or dance these days, it is not because they love war. It is because they have lived for decades under a darkness that few outside the country can fully comprehend. For many Iranians, these moments carry the fragile hope that the long night of oppression may finally be nearing its end. And freedom might be dawning once again.

Congress hopes to Safeguard Women from Chemical Abortion

On Wednesday, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri took to the podium in the Senate Judiciary hearing room to deliver a clear message: the abortion pill Mifepristone is not just risky — it’s “inherently dangerous.” And it’s up to Congress to regulate it, reports The Washington Stand.

At a press conference, the Missouri senator unveiled his new legislation, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. This bill seeks to strip Mifepristone — the drug responsible for the majority of U.S. abortions — of its longstanding approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

According to recent data from the Guttmacher Institute, chemical abortions made up 63% of all abortions in 2023, with the trend only accelerating in the years since.

Senator Hawley didn’t hold back, blasting the FDA for letting mail-order shipments flood the country, wiping out state-level protections for the unborn and leaving women to face severe complications.

HAWLEY: “In 11% of cases, women who take the drug, Mifepristone for use in an abortion experience a serious adverse health event. Now, that's the technical term. What it means, in practice, is internal infections, sepsis, hemorrhaging, a trip to the emergency room, a life-threatening condition. In 11% of cases!”

Hawley added, “It is time for Congress to do something about this racket, And it is a racket. It is time for Congress to ban the use of Mifepristone for abortion, and it is time for Congress to give the victims — the survivors — … the right to recover.”

He framed the fight as a double victory: shielding vulnerable women from what many see as a profit-driven chemical experiment and protecting unborn life when the courts and agencies will not.

Call your Congressman today and urge him or her to vote for The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. The number is 202-224-3121. That’s 202-224-3121. You can call and get a live operator 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and simply leave a message.

The manufacturers and distributors of this heinous Abortion Kill Pill are well described in Isaiah 59:7. “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.”

Armed man rammed truck into Michigan synagogue

On Thursday, authorities say a man, armed with a rifle, rammed his truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, before the vehicle caught fire, prompting an active shooter response, reports NewsNation.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said the synagogue’s security team engaged the suspect with gunfire after he breached the building and drove down a hallway.

The suspect was later found dead. His body was badly burned.

BOUCHARD: “No kids, this is the important thing, no kids or no staff was injured whatsoever. One of the lead security people was hit by the car and was taken to the hospital for treatment. That individual should be okay.”

The sheriff said the suspect appears to have been the only person in the vehicle.

CNN host makes humiliating on-air correction after getting NYC terror attack story wrong

During a “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City” rally on Saturday, two men were arrested for throwing improvised explosive devices at anti-Islam protesters. Authorities later discovered these men were inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group.

The incident took place outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

However, CNN’s Abby Phillip, host of “NewsNight,” claimed on Tuesday that the men were not targeting the crowd, but the mayor, a Muslim himself, reports The Western Journal.

PHILLIP: “Two Republicans say Muslims don’t belong here after an attempted terror attack on New York Mayor Zohran Mamdami.”

Samuel Short wrote, “The intent was obvious as CNN and Phillip would love to blame anyone who criticizes Islam as a violent terrorist. Oh, the irony.”

On Wednesday morning, Phillip published a correction on the social media platform X. She also issued a correction on air Wednesday night.

PHILIP: “This morning I issued a correction first thing in the morning, on X, for a mistake that I made in last night’s show. But I also wanted to do so on air as well.

“I incorrectly said that the bombs that were throw...
