ADRA is Embarrassing the Church


October 21, 2026 NewsHound


According to Gateway Pundit, another massive migrant caravan is marching through Mexico toward the US border as we enter the final weeks of the midterm election cycle. And ADRA is helping it happen.

The migrants marching in the latest caravan are mostly from Central America and they just departed Mexico’s southern border.

The Central American migrants told journalist Julio Rosas that they hope the Democrats win the midterm elections.

Last month, a migrant caravan was spotted marching toward the US border ahead of the midterm elections.

At least two NGOs are funding this caravan. According to independent reporter Anthony Aguero, “Proyecto Faro and ADRA” are the two main NGOs assisting the migrant caravan.

Tom Homan recently said the migrants will be sent back to their home countries or a third party country.

“They’ll be immediately turned around, or they’ll be arrested and prosecuted and deported,” Homan said.

“Zero releases from the border under the Trump administration. President Trump promised that. He’s going to keep that promise,” he said.

“I hope voters are paying attention,” Homan said. “Remember the images of 12,000 illegals per day coming across the border. Now they want to abolish the agency that finds them and deports them!”

Observations

Another massive Central American migrant caravan is currently marching north through Mexico toward the U.S. border in the final weeks before the midterms, with participants openly telling journalists they hope Democrats win so enforcement will ease.⁠

Independent reporter Anthony Aguero has identified two NGOs—Proyecto Faro and ADRA (the Adventist Development and Relief Agency)—as the primary groups assisting the caravan’s logistics and support.⁠

ADRA is an ideologically-captured arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which wraps itself in the language of neutral Christian charity and “serving all without regard to political affiliation.”

ADRA has a long, documented history of taking tens of millions in USAID and State Department funds under the Biden administration to distribute cash, food, shelter, and other aid to U.S.-bound migrants across Latin America as part of United Nations regional immigration plans. The organization’s own past statements (including board member, Ted Wilson) dismiss accusations of facilitating irregular migration as “patently false.”

Louvre and other museums closing for Saturday protests as French authorities deploy 70,000 officers

PARIS (AP) — Some 70,000 law enforcement officers will be deployed across France on Saturday while the Louvre and several other major Paris museums will be closed as authorities seek to prevent renewed violence during planned protests.

Protests last week devolved into mayhem, with people setting fires, storming public buildings, smashing shop windows, looting and clashing with police. It was France’s most violent unrest in years.

Demonstrators plan to take to the streets again Saturday to denounce the high cost of living. Students, members of the CGT labor union and activists from the “ yellow vest ” movement, whose demonstrations against social injustice shook France in 2018 and 2019, are all set to join.

While some protests have been banned for security reasons in several cities, including Lyon, Nice and Montpellier, marches are expected in many other places including in Paris and Marseille.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said some 70,000 police officers and gendarmes would be deployed, along with helicopters, armored vehicles and water cannons. In addition, elite police units will help secure public buildings like city halls in a “highly mobile” security operation, he said.

“There have been numerous calls from radical far-left groups on social media to commit acts of violence and vandalism. There have also been renewed calls for looting, with those messages clearly being spread by rioters,” Nuñez said at a news conference.

“We will be absolutely uncompromising” with those involved in violence, he added, warning that police will have a “very firm approach to making arrests, and there will be legal consequences.”

Paris museums to be closed

In a statement to The Associated Press, the Culture Ministry said the Louvre, the Orsay and Picasso museums as well as the Grand Palais would be closed. The ministry called on all institutions under its authority to adopt any necessary measures to ensure “visitor safety, staff protection and the preservation of artworks,” according to the statement.

After two days when admission was by invitation only, Art Basel Paris opened to the public Friday — but only for the day, with the threat of unrest prompting organizers to cancel the weekend program. One of the world’s most prestigious contemporary art fairs, Art Basel includes exhibitions by 211 international galleries at Paris’ Grand Palais.

“This decision has not been taken lightly, and the safety of everyone involved in the fair remains our utmost priority,” organizers said in a statement Thursday.

Saloni Doshi, an art collector who traveled to Paris from India for the fair, grew worried last Saturday as she saw the fires and panicked people, and she received phone calls from friends asking whether Paris was safe. She agreed with the organizers’ rationale to close.

Antoine Donzeaud and Elisa Rigoulet, the owners of the gallery exo exo, felt the same.

“We understand this decision, which we consider reasonable and consistent with the urgency of the social demands currently unfolding in France,” they said in a text message.

But some visitors were disappointed.

“It’s very sad, because we just came here to the fair, and we could not get in because they canceled it for the weekend,” said Fabián Hernández, 32, from Mexico City. “So it’s very busy today, and it’s disappointing to me because I love the art fair, you know? But it is what it is.”
An anti far-right protest is planned

A demonstration Saturday in the city of Orléans, about 110 kilometers (70 miles) south of Paris, will also be closely watched.

About 50 organizations have called for a protest against the far right on the sidelines of the two-day congress of Marine Le Pen’s nationalist, anti-immigration party ahead of next spring’s presidential election. Organizers include labor unions, left-wing political parties, student organizations and anti-racism groups.

Hugues Moutouh, the prefect of the Loiret region, said that 20,000 to 30,000 demonstrators from across the country were expected.

Le Pen, whom opinion polls place as the front-runner in next year’s election, accused left-wing organizations and political parties of trying to “disrupt a political party’s democratic congress,” on news broadcaster Franceinfo.

Still, she said she had “no concerns” about security because the government had “recognized the need for measures allowing the congress to proceed safely.”

Before you hand out candy this Halloween, know what the night really carries. October 31, 2026 falls on a Saturday, and on that one square of the calendar sit a Celtic night of the dead, the door Martin Luther chose in 1517, and the Sabbath God blessed at creation.

WHAT WE PRAY TOGETHER

This year the world prays the Luminous Mysteries, the Mysteries of Light. Five continents, five mysteries, five intentions for peace.

Each mystery then carries a short reflection and an intention, followed by the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be and the O My Jesus, and it closes with the Hail Holy Queen. The prayers are led country by country, many of them in their own languages.

Vice President leads prayer after woman collapsed at Nebraska rally


Posted Oct 22, 2026 12:30 PM

North Platte, Neb. (AP) —Vice President JD Vance stopped his speech and led the audience in prayer after a person in the risers behind him appeared to collapse on Thursday.


As emergency workers responded during a rally in North Platte, Neb., Vance asked those “who are of the praying type” to join him in prayer. Vance, a Catholic, crossed himself and recited the Lord’s Prayer as some in the crowd folded their hands and joined him. Vance also asked his staff to send a doctor.

“Always in moments like this, I try to pray as the Lord taught us to pray,” Vance said.

After the prayer, Vance walked into the risers and knelt down as the person was being helped. He later returned to the podium to finish his remarks.

This message explains why Seventh-day Adventists believe the Investigative Judgment began in October 1844, how the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C. connects to the 70-week prophecy, and why the Day of Atonement points to Christ’s final ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. It also examines why God reveals timed judgments before they happen and why Revelation 14 declares that “the hour of his judgment is come.

A mutated virus is driving the US into an early flu season, especially on the West Coast


By Brenda Goodman

Flu season is picking up months ahead of schedule with a mutated virus spreading in some parts of the United States, surprising some people who might not even be thinking about their annual flu shots yet.

This year, the season started 2 1/2 months earlier than what’s typical and hit states on the West Coast first, which is unusual, said Dr. Alex Greninger, head of the Division of Infectious Disease Diagnostics at the University of Washington’s Department of Laboratory Medicine.

Usually, the US flu season starts in the South – often in Florida, where it arrives from the Southern Hemisphere. Then it tends to spread north as fall and winter progress.

“In Seattle, we’re pretty far north. We see a pretty strong peak in January,” Greninger said, noting that the bulk of their cases typically come in late December through February.

That’s not how it’s playing out this year.

Minnesota Rapper urges Americans to 'raise hell' after France Riots — as radical groups plan DC protests

Political unrest and protest movements in American cities draw new scrutiny. | Next News Editorial Illustration

A Minnesota rapper and activist is urging Americans to follow France's lead and "raise hell" after returning from a visit to a Saint-Denis high school alongside Greta Thunberg, as radical groups in the United States organize protests in the nation's capital modeled on the violent French unrest.

Rafael Gonzalez Jr., who performs under the name Tufawon, traveled to Saint-Denis and demonstrated alongside high-profile figures including Thunberg outside the Lycée Paul Éluard, according to reporting from Fox News Digital. On returning, Gonzalez published statements on social media urging activists to become more radicalized and to take influence from the French, including a call for white Americans to "raise hell."

Fox News Politics reported that the rapper defended "solidarity" with France's radical activists and pushed for protests to come to the United States. The visit and subsequent posts come after riots across France that left more than 2,400 people arrested and 1,000 police officers injured, according to VOZ.

French Unrest Sets Off Alarm Bells in Washington

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said 1,200 people had been arrested and more than 150 police officers injured during the unrest on Saturday, 17 October, according to IBTimes UK. The scale of the violence has drawn attention from American lawmakers and analysts, who are watching for signs that the tactics could be replicated domestically.

Those fears appear to be materializing. CodePink, the anti-war group, has promoted a Washington campaign against U.S. military spending and has coordinated a three-day mobilization targeting Congress on 10-12 November, IBTimes UK reported. The planned demonstrations come after the U.S. midterm elections on 3 November.

CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, in an interview reported by Fox News Digital, urged Americans to look at protests in France as examples of mobilization. CodePink has framed the campaign as peaceful civil disobedience opposing U.S. military spending.

The group receives a significant portion of its funding from sources linked to tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, according to IBTimes UK, a financial relationship that has drawn intense scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers who allege the nonprofit uses foreign-linked funds to promote anti-American narratives. CodePink and Singham have denied those accusations, maintaining that the group operates independently.

Internet crime is big business. In 2025, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center tallied more than a million complaints covering losses of nearly $21 billion. Operations that spread across continents are constantly evolving and are using artificial intelligence to get more sophisticated.

To prepare you for the inevitable attempts to make off with your money, we sat down with Supervisory Special Agent Timothy Lynch, unit chief of the FBI’s Cyber-Enabled Fraud and Money Laundering Unit.

Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Decision Points: What is the most common kind of scam that you see, and how does it work?

Lynch: The most common scam right now would be cryptocurrency investment fraud, where people receive cold calls and emails asking them to make some kind of investment in cryptocurrency, where there are claims that are going to be incredible returns on investment. In actuality, the scammers are just taking their funds wholesale. It is by far the most common. It has the highest loss amount. We had about $7.2 billion in reported losses last year.

Why am I getting so many obviously scammy text messages?

Because scam has become global in nature and industrial in scale.

Over the last 10 years or so, we've seen an incredible rise of what are actually known as scam compounds. These are anywhere from 100- to 500-acre mini cities, typically based in Southeast Asia and now Africa. What they're doing is they are buying up cell phone information in bulk, and they are sending out a lot of these cold call solicitations, trying to victimize people.

Churches Strike Blow to Trump Admin in Fight Over ICE Raids


PUBLISHED
OCT 21, 2026 AT 11:30 AM EDT



By Billal Rahman
Immigration Reporter

A federal appeals court has allowed a coalition of religious organizations to pursue its challenge to the Trump administration’s decision to lift restrictions on immigration enforcement at houses of worship.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 Tuesday that the religious organizations had sufficiently demonstrated standing at this stage of the case, reversing a lower court decision that found the threat of enforcement was not sufficiently imminent. U.S. Circuit Judge Florence Pan, a Biden appointee, joined by U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, wrote the majority opinion. The case was sent back to U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, to reconsider the request for a preliminary injunction. U.S. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, dissented.

The ruling does not decide whether the administration’s policy is lawful, nor does it prohibit ICE from carrying out enforcement actions at churches.

What to Know About ICE Arrests at Churches and Schools

The legal disputes follow the administration’s elimination of protections that had generally discouraged immigration arrests and other enforcement activity at sensitive locations.

Religious organizations challenging the change say immigration enforcement in and around churches can deter some people from attending worship services and participating in ministries. The administration has argued that immigration officers should retain discretion to enforce federal law rather than be governed by categorical restrictions on particular locations.

Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism


David Vance

Aug 02, 2026




What if I told you that Marxism has deep roots in Satanism? Would you be surprised? Is it possible that an ideology which has captured the minds of millions of people around the world has an origin story rooted in deep evil?

I recently read Richard Wurmbrand's fascinating book, Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism. It isn't an easy read and nor was it intended to be. Wurmbrand wrote it after spending fourteen years in Romanian Communist prisons. Unlike many modern academics who analyse Communism from their ivory towers, Wurmbrand experienced it at its most brutal - in a prison cell.

One of the first things Wurmbrand talks about is something that may surprise many people. Karl Marx did not begin life as an atheist. He was raised in a Christian home and his early school essays reveal someone who understood Christian teaching well. He explicitly wrote about finding comfort in Christ, about serving others selflessly, and about the believer’s relationship with God.

Then, according to Wurmbrand, everything changed.

Marx’s later poems strike an entirely different note. They are filled with a bitterness, a darkness and open defiance of God. In one, Marx declares,

“I wish to avenge myself against the One who rules above.”

In another, he describes a soul once devoted to God but now “chosen for hell.”

Whose soul was that, I wonder?

Wurmbrand argues that these are not isolated literary flourishes but rather clear evidence of a profound spiritual rebellion. Marx no longer appeared merely indifferent to Christianity; he was openly hostile towards it.

Marx also wrote a student play entitled Oulanem.

Wurmbrand points out that the title is an anagram of Emmanuel, one of the Bible's names for Jesus, written backwards. In occult traditions, reversing sacred names carries symbolic significance. Marx was only nineteen at this point.



The play itself is bleak. Its central figure longs to drag humanity into destruction before following them into the abyss himself. Elsewhere, Marx wrote of receiving a sword from “the prince of darkness.” Wurmbrand stops short of suggesting Marx literally entered into some formal pact with Satan but something had changed. Instead, he argues that the recurring imagery, together with Marx’s increasingly hostile language towards God, reveals a deliberate rejection of Christianity.

Pope Leo XIV Reveals the Key to Demonstrating Holiness

Behind every canonization lies a lengthy process: the Church must determine who that person was, how they lived, and what legacy they left behind. A reputation for holiness can pave the way, but for the pope, that alone is not enough.

NFL to Add Heightened Security for Paris Game Due to Civil Unrest



Dylan Gwinn 20 Oct 2026157

Paris has descended into flames and anarchy as thousands have taken to the streets for what amounted to nearly a week of rioting.

But that doesn’t mean the NFL will cancel its game there.

NFL executive Peter O’Reilly said Tuesday that the league will increase security for Sunday’s game between the Steelers and the Saints and will work with the U.S. State Department and Parisian and national authorities to ensure fan and player safety.

“There’s nothing more important from our standpoint than the teams’ security, the fans’ security — everybody involved with this game,” O’Reilly said at the fall league meetings, via the Associated Press. “Obviously being very vigilant in everything we do, in all of our planning on an hour-by-hour basis, working closely with the two teams.”


As for heightened security for the NFL game at the Stade de France drawing critical security resources away from other areas, O’Reilly doesn’t see it as an issue.

“We feel confident that we would not have any impact on the broader resources needed,” O’Reilly said. “That’s always top of mind for us, and we feel confident that we wouldn’t be depleting resources in a negative way around this game.”

O’Reilly added that other sporting events in and around Paris have continued as scheduled despite the unrest, and the NFL never considered canceling the game.

“The Saints flew to Paris after their victory over the Giants on Sunday. The Steelers will travel later this week,” Pro Football Talk reports.


Putin agrees to trilateral talks with Ukraine, US to end war

Published Oct. 21, 2026, 10:02 a.m. ET


WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to return to trilateral negotiations with the US and Ukraine to end its war, a Kremlin official told reporters Wednesday.

Moscow’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said that Putin said “in principle” peace talks will continue after Nov. 10, following a meeting with US special envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg.

Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Oslo, Norway, on Tuesday to weigh a proposal that laid out Kyiv’s security guarantees, economic recovery funds and other items, before heading to Russia to present the document to Putin.

Ushakov said Wednesday following the sitdown with Witkoff that future trilateral talks will focus on “building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the conflict ends” — another item that was to be considered as part of the peace proposal, a source previously told The Post.

The about-face comes after the Russian leader had resisted summits with Trump and Zelensky to wind down the more than four-year war.

Raging at Zelensky last week over Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy sites, Trump also floated excluding the embattled nation from trilateral talks — and inviting China and Russia to meet with the US instead.

The president has groused that the destruction of Russian oil refineries by Ukrainian drones has tanked global energy markets, prompting him to announce a deal with Putin on Oct. 9 to waive sanctions and buy up some portion of those exports.

A Tycoon Linked to Haitian Gangs Has Died

Tycoon Linked to Haitian Gangs Has Died
Reportedly the wealthiest man in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Gilbert Bigio was sanctioned for ties to criminal gangs. He was 91.

Gilbert Bigio, a Haitian industrialist widely described as the country’s first billionaire, and who was sanctioned by Canada for ties to criminal gangs in his homeland, died on Sept. 29 in Florida. He was 91.

His death was reported in the Haitian press.

With interests in steel, energy, logistics, consumer goods, construction and banking, Mr. Bigio’s holding company, long known as the GB Group and eventually renamed BGO, touched the impoverished island nation’s economy in every corner.

Mr. Bigio’s family remain major players in what the International Monetary Fund and others have described as Haiti’s tiny economic elite. BGO supplies cooking oils and soap to Haitian households, steel from Haiti’s only steel mill to its builders and deepwater port facilities to its shippers. BGO became a regional economic force as well, owning gas stations in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.

The elite plays an outsize role in Haiti’s chaotic politics, and Mr. Bigio appears not to have been an exception, though he stayed largely out of public view and rarely granted interviews. In December 2022, Canada sanctioned him, along with two other Haitian businessmen.

“Canada has reason to believe these individuals are using their status as high-profile members of the economic elite in Haiti to protect and enable the illegal activities of armed criminal gangs, including through money laundering and other acts of corruption,” a foreign ministry statement said.

“The sanctions Canada has imposed are intended to put pressure on those responsible for the ongoing violence and instability in Haiti,” the statement continued. “These people must stop providing funds and weapons to criminal gangs in Haiti.”

According to Reuters, the GB Group did not immediately reply to the sanctions; one Haiti expert, Jake Johnston, of the Center for Economic Policy and Research in Washington, said in an interview that Canada’s decision was a largely “symbolic” move with little practical impact. Members of Mr. Bigio’s family did not respond in recent days to queries for this obituary.

Mr. Johnston said Mr. Bigio’s immense wealth — he bought an ultraluxury $132,000 Mercedes Maybach from the estate of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, The Miami Herald reported — was important to contrast with the brutal poverty of his native land.

From France to Albania, social unrest is setting Europe’s streets ablaze


Rising fuel costs, discontent with the state of schools, declining public services and a housing crisis are fueling an autumn of protests in Europe. Crowds have protested for weeks in major cities, with some demonstrations marked by arrests, looting, injuries and violence across France, Spain, Italy and Albania.


MADRID (AP) — Rising fuel costs, discontent with the state of schools, declining public services and a housing crisis are fueling an autumn of protests in Europe.

Crowds have protested for weeks in major cities, with some demonstrations marked by arrests, looting, injuries and violence across France, Italy and Albania. In Spain and Portugal, tent camps have sprung up to protest unaffordable housing.

Young Europeans are experiencing “a strong sense of uncertainty and a lack of control,” said María Silvestre, professor of sociology at the University of Deusto in Spain. “And when specific situations come together, a spark suddenly ignites that is capable of channeling that discontent and driving people into the streets.”

Cities have turned into battlefields as top EU economies, including France, Italy and Spain, approach pivotal elections, while far-right parties have made electoral gains in Germany and could do so elsewhere. It also comes as Europe faces a critical moment in its support for Ukraine, with President Donald Trump making overtures to President Vladimir Putin even as Russia is blamed for increasingly frequent arson attacks, cyberattacks and other acts of sabotage in NATO countries.

Right-wing politicians have seized on the chaos. While protests in France have appeared broad-based, Trump portrayed immigrants as responsible for the destruction, writing Monday on his Truth Social platform: “The migrants have taken over France. They must CLOSE THE BORDERS, FAST!”

Many of the protests have been fueled by frustrated young people. Other actors, including black-clad, masked agitators, have fomented violence, but French authorities and police have not blamed immigrants.

Spain: 70% of migrants in Ceuta are claiming to be homosexuals...


Spain: 70% of migrants in Ceuta are claiming to be homosexuals in recent asylum applications

Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco


Last updated: October 19, 2026 22:00

By - Remix News Staff -

Spanish police sources say roughly 70 percent of recent asylum applications filed by Moroccan migrants in the North African enclave of Ceuta now claim persecution based on their homosexuality, a sharp change from the economic motives cited in the weeks after a large irregular entry in late July.

The report from Spanish newspaper ABC, citing Spanish National Police sources, also indicated that about 95 percent of the applications under review involve Moroccan nationals, and of those already decided, the rejection rate is estimated at about 99 percent.

Police have knowledge of at least 19 favorable decisions for people who entered during the July episode; five of those rested on sexual-orientation grounds.

The Unified Police Union (SUP) representative in Ceuta, Raúl Piera, told local media the share citing homosexuality has risen as high as 90 percent in the most recent filings. Applicants initially mentioned unemployment, family reunification or other reasons, he said.

After word circulated that economic grounds were unlikely to succeed, the accounts shifted.

“At first, they were not informed and did not know what they should say. But word spread,” Piera said.

Police sources have also raised the possibility that some applicants received advice, including from NGOs, on which grounds might improve their chances. While no fraud has been proven, the overwhelming amount of applications based on claims of homosexuality raises various red flags about the asylum application process.

Same-sex sexual relations are criminalized in Morocco under Article 489 of the penal code, which provides for prison terms of six months to three years. Spanish and European rules treat a well-founded fear of persecution on grounds of sexual orientation as a potential basis for protection.

Declaring oneself homosexual is not sufficient, however. Authorities examine the consistency of each account, personal circumstances and the risk upon return through interviews and documentation.

Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, speaking in Ceuta, said a mere allegation is not enough: there must be “a principle of objective and clear proof” and “a minimum of serious evidence.”

Nearly 1,200 international-protection applications have been formalized since the late-July arrivals, of which roughly 700 have been resolved, according to government figures. An estimated 10,000 of those who crossed on July 30-31 remain in Ceuta, some in informal housing or remote areas. Many others have returned to Morocco voluntarily or through other processes.

The asylum claims continue to be assessed individually by the Office of Asylum and Refuge. Rejection does not automatically result in immediate removal; applicants must be notified, and some may abscond or challenge decisions in court, though the share pursuing judicial appeals has been described as very low.

Elon Musk on Monday pledged to give one share of his company SpaceX to “every kid in America” next year.

The offer arrived a day after artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced in a social media post that it will commit 5% of its shares to a new “public benefit” fund.

In a response to that Sunday post, Musk wrote, “I recommend giving the shares directly to the public.”

Shares of SpaceX, which will report its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, closed at $146.03 on Friday.

With approximately 73 million children under the age of 18 in the United States, that would put the value of Musk’s pledge at about $10.66 billion.

Anthropic said Sunday that the shares it is committing will go to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new entity within the company. The fund’s worth will potentially increase as the shares grow in value.

Musk did not provide further details on how his share pledge will be carried out, but did add in his post that “This will be the first of many.”

United Airlines CEO wealth tax proposal blasted as double taxation

Dagen McDowell slams United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby over his proposal for a national wealth tax and a near-100% inheritance tax. She calls out the double taxation and points to the hypocrisy of the airline's own elite status pricing.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby is calling for a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100% for certain estates, arguing that growing wealth inequality poses a threat to American society.

Kirby, who took home about $32.3 million in total compensation in fiscal year 2025, made the remarks when asked about declining public trust in corporate executives during an interview with The New York Times.

"Wealth inequality has become a danger to our society, and we need to address that," Kirby told the outlet in an interview published Sunday.

The airline executive argued that a wealth tax would need to be implemented nationwide rather than at the state level to prevent wealthy Americans from relocating to avoid paying it.

'We're in business to be a glorifier of God': Chick-fil-A CEO talks decision to close on Sundays, LGBT controversy


By Ian M. Giatti, Christian Post Reporter Saturday, October 17, 2026

Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy says the chain now prioritizes welcoming all customers through food and service after reflecting on a turbulent chapter in the company’s history involving public opposition to same-sex marriage.

Cathy, who followed in his father and grandfather's footsteps and became CEO in 2021, told NBC's "Today" show that his family tradition as Southern Baptists was a key factor in the decision to close Chick-fil-A on Sundays.

“My grandfather, my great-uncle, Ben, when they started that little restaurant back in Atlanta, it was very common back in the 1940s that a lot of places were closed on Sunday,” said Cathy. “They had to do that. They wanted to have a chance to take a break, go to church, and for others just to take some rest.”

The decision to stay closed on Sunday has endured, said Cathy, because it’s central to Chick-fil-A’s corporate DNA.

“It was a company that was built on God, if you will, and that still seems to be very much a part of the DNA of Chick-fil-A,” he added. “It is our anchor, in the sense of what our corporate purpose states, that we're in business to be a glorifier of God.”

The corporate purpose of Chick-fil-A came under intense scrutiny in 2012 when Cathy’s father, then-CEO Dan Cathy, publicly stated the company’s opposition to gay marriage. Public documents later revealed that Chick-fil-A had donated millions of dollars to conservative Christian organizations whose biblical values ran contrary to the LGBT movement.

At the time, Dan Cathy’s remarks triggered widespread protests, boycotts, and political pushback from both supporters and critics. While he never altered his personal position on gay marriage, Dan Cathy later expressed regret for drawing the company into the public debate.

The episode left a lasting mark on the brand’s public image, if not its revenues: in 2012, the company's sales totaled roughly $4.6 billion, and by 2019, they had grown to nearly $11 billion.

World Food Programme Cuts Aid to 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza, Citing Funding Shortages

CAIRO/GAZA, Oct 19 (Reuters) - The UN World Food Programme ⁠has ⁠said funding shortages are ⁠forcing major cuts to its aid programme in Gaza, leaving ​about 500,000 people without monthly food support in a territory where two-thirds of the population ‌struggle to get enough to eat.

The ‌WFP said it was reducing the number of recipients of its monthly assistance ⁠to 1.1 ⁠million people from 1.6 million.

In addition, food rations have been halved, ​cash assistance has been cut for 75,000 families, and the number of daily hot meals for those unable to cook has fallen to 150,000 from 250,000, with some families in ​hard-to-reach areas now receiving a hot meal only every other day.
c
The WFP said ⁠about ⁠1.4 million people, or two-thirds ⁠of Gaza's ​population, face crisis levels of food insecurity or worse, including roughly 200,000 people in ​emergency conditions.

Last year's US-brokered ⁠Gaza ceasefire calls for the eventual reconstruction of the territory. But little progress has been made towards implementing a deal to end the conflict that includes terms for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw its troops.

"It's a year into the agreement ⁠of this ceasefire. Well, life is still brutal here. There is no ⁠proper shelter.. There is no basic services. There is no safety, no security," acting Executive Director of the World Food Program WFP Carl Skau told Reuters in Gaza.

"These cuts are happening just as we are facing the fourth winter. You know, I've been through the winters here, absolutely brutal," he added.

The WFP said it urgently needs $450 million over the next six months to maintain critical operations in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

"We tell ⁠the world now is this is not the time to look away. This is the time to step up to sustain this support, to protect the progress that has been made, but also to push for early ​recovery," said Skau.

The Final Crisis Has an Ancient Name: Baal - Pastor Marko Kolic

 


The Final Crisis Has an Ancient Name: Baal - Pastor Marko Kolic

Oct 18, 2026

What does ancient Baal worship have to do with the final crisis?

In this message, Pastor Marko Kolic traces a biblical pattern connecting Baal worship, opposition to God’s commandments, religious persecution, the Sabbath, religious liberty, and righteousness by faith.

The forms may change, but the spiritual conflict remains.

Yet this message is not simply about identifying error.

The greater question is personal:

Do we merely know the truth, or is the life of Christ actually being reproduced in us?

Knowledge alone will not prepare us for the final test.

Now is the time to walk with Christ, surrender the heart, obey His Word, and learn faithfulness before the crisis comes.

Faithfulness over fear.

The Revolutionary Side of Paris | From Protest to Chaos

Slow Walk Journey

Oct 18, 2026  PARIS

Experience a very different side of Paris in this immersive walking documentary, following the events of October 17 and their aftermath on October 18.

The video alternates between scenes filmed during the demonstrations on October 17 and the streets of Paris the following day, revealing the contrast between the protest itself and what was left behind.

Please note that the October 17 and October 18 sequences were filmed in different locations across Paris and are edited together to show the contrast between the protest and its aftermath.

What begins with marches through the city gradually grows more tense : crowded streets, confrontations with police, fires and scenes of unrest. Between these moments, we return to Paris on October 18, where the consequences become increasingly visible, littered streets, damaged Vélib’ bikes and street furniture, burned shops, shattered storefronts and the remains of destroyed vehicles.

As the video progresses, the intensity rises, creating a cause-and-aftermath perspective on two very different days in the streets of Paris.

This is not a conventional Paris walking tour, but a street-level record of a city experiencing protest, tension, disorder and the morning after.

Obama Defends Ilhan Omar After Federal Raid on Her Home




18 Oct 2026736

Former President Barack Obama defended Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after agents with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit conducted a raid on her home as part of an immigration fraud investigation.

In a post on X, Obama argued that “it is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs,” saying that is “exactly” what President Donald Trump’s administration is doing to Omar.

Obama went on to note that Omar came to the United States “with her father when she was 12 years old,” and added that “five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen.”

“If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately,” Obama said. “But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.”

The former president went on to highlight how Omar graduated from college, worked “as a community organizer,” and became “the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S.”

US Rep Ilhan Omar accused of being a foreign agent – legal deposition

Updated: 20 May ,2020: 11:01 AM GST

US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was recruited by a foreign government, passed sensitive information that was relayed to Iran, and received funding by a foreign government, according to a sworn deposition by a Canadian businessman in a Florida court.

In explosive testimony made by video link from Toronto, Canada to a Florida District Court on October 23, Kuwaiti-born Alan Bender claims to have deep ties with governments and royal officials across the Middle East including Qatar. In his statement, he says he met Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.

The three allegedly claimed credit for the meteoric rise of Omar, saying: “If it wasn't for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends,” according to Bender’s sworn deposition. The deposition was obtained by Al Arabiya English and authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs.

Bender was subpoenaed in a lawsuit against the Qatari emir’s brother, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani, who stands accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people and holding his hired American paramedic prisoner. In his deposition, Bender testifies about his meetings with Al-Masnad and other Qatari officials in which they mentioned the Sheikh Khalid case, and discusses Qatar’s campaign to influence Western politicians.

In the testimony, Bender claims to have been asked to recruit American politicians and journalists to be Qatari assets. He says he objected and the Qatari officials responded by saying that several American politicians and journalists were already on the payroll—most prominently Omar, who was allegedly described as the “jewel of the crown”, according to the deposition.

The controversial congresswoman has already been found to have broken campaign finance rules. The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board ruled in June that Omar violated state campaign finance rules by improperly using campaign money for out-of-state travel while serving as a state representative. In addition, Conservative group Judicial Watch has called on the House Ethics Committee to investigate Omar for alleged offences including immigration fraud, the New York Post reported in July. Last week, the New York Post reported that Omar paid $150,000 to a political consulting group where Tim Mynett is a partner in the three months after the newspaper revealed that the pair were romantically involved.

Bender’s accusations go much further. According to his testimony, Al-Masnad said that Qatar “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official.… They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her.” For her part, Omar cooperated with the Qataris and received cash payments, he alleges in the deposition.

American and Turkish media previously reported that Omar met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a key supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, when she was a junior state representative in Minnesota in 2017. According to Bender, Omar met Erdogan and allegedly swore allegiance to him.

Bender claims that once Omar took office, she used her position in the House of Representatives to access sensitive information which she relayed to Qatar, and through them to Iran.

According to Bender’s deposition, Omar’s role in the Qatari influence campaign is crucial. She actively recruited other politicians on behalf of Qatar, he said in the deposition. The Qataris claimed that “the best thing money can buy are American officials because they are the cheapest of the cheapest costing officials in the world,” according to his sworn testimony.
