North Korea has upped the ante with a high-stakes intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test, which dictator Kim Jong-un claims is the "world's most powerful strategic deterrent." In a brazen show of force, this missile set a record-breaking 87-minute flight time, sending shockwaves through the international community. South Korea reports that the test demonstrates North Korea’s escalating missile capabilities and is a direct response to what Kim calls threats from "regional enemies."

The missile, launched on a sharply lofted trajectory, flew over 4,300 miles into the sky and landed about 125 miles from Japan's shores. The timing couldn’t be more provocative: Pyongyang's missile test comes right after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with his South Korean counterpart, condemning North Korea’s alleged deployment of 11,000 troops to aid Russia in Ukraine.

As Pyongyang inches closer to a nuclear-capable missile capable of hitting the U.S., South Korean analysts suggest the North could be relying on Russian military tech, raising alarms for both the U.S. and allies. This muscle-flexing missile launch is not just a test—it’s a loud warning shot at the West, and especially at America, to remind the world of North Korea’s growing military might.

Iran Prepares for Major Retaliation Against Israel from Iraq—Tensions Escalate as Strike Imminent, Warn Israeli Officials

Iran is reportedly gearing up for a “definitive and painful” retaliation against Israel following last weekend’s strikes on its missile and military sites. According to Israeli intelligence, Iran plans to launch an assault from Iraqi soil, potentially deploying drones and ballistic missiles in large numbers, with the U.S. election fast approaching.

In a high-stakes move, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Hossein Salami has stated that their response will be “different from any scenario” Israel might anticipate. The Iraqi government, meanwhile, is outraged by the use of its airspace in these attacks, filing an official protest with the U.N. as regional tensions reach a boiling point.

Shocking Discovery! Dallas Poll Worker Finds Folded Paper with Poll Book Usernames and Passwords Lying on the Ground—Election Security at Risk?

In what’s being called the “most secure election in U.S. history,” a poll greeter in Dallas uncovered a startling sight—login credentials for voting machines lying on the ground outside the polling station. The discovery, reported to Steven Crowder’s team, included usernames and passwords, raising major questions about election security. Dallas County officials quickly responded, insisting such information “shouldn’t be on the premises.” Meanwhile, the Texas Attorney General’s office clarified the credentials likely accessed poll books, which manage voter registration records. Is this just the tip of the iceberg?

Significant threat': Federal government launches plan to track 'faith' data

In an era where the federal government pushes grandmothers into jail for standing up for life, and forces Christian businesses to fund abortion and LGBT agendas, we’re now seeing an outright assault on religious freedom! The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has rolled out a chilling new policy to track employees’ religious beliefs and personal accommodations. Oklahoma Senator James Lankford is raising the alarm, warning that this unprecedented data collection “violates the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”

The DOE claims it’s merely “maintaining records” on those seeking medical and religious accommodations. But what’s really going on? This so-called system sweeps up sensitive details on employees’ deeply held beliefs—potentially opening the door to religious discrimination within federal ranks. Lankford says this policy forces federal workers to disclose their private faith practices, risking retaliation or bias.

Is this a precursor to a greater surveillance state targeting religious Americans? The stakes have never been higher for freedom of belief in this country.
