(Worthy Insights) – Popular podcast host Tucker Carlson sat down with fellow podcaster Nick Fuentes on Tuesday, and the two, who are known for their hostility to Jews and Israel, discussed both topics, along with foreign policy issues and theology. During the course of their discussion, Carlson blasted pro-Israel Christian Zionists, revealing that he dislikes them “more than anybody.”

Carlson, the former Fox News host who invited Fuentes on his podcast, named U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and other non-Jewish Republicans among those who believe in Christian Zionism, which he called a church “heresy.” He added that those who believe in it are “seized with some kind of brain virus,” and said, “I am offended by that as a Christian.”

Huckabee responded in a post on X, writing, “Wasn’t aware that Tucker despises me. I do get that a lot from people not familiar with the Bible or history. Somehow, I will survive the animosity.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed Wednesday that former President Joe Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) compiled what’s being described as an “enemies list” of Republicans to target, including through wiretapping the phones of several high-ranking Republicans as part of their “get-Trump” lawfare.

Grassley revealed more than 1,700 pages of documents provided by whistleblowers, shining further light on the “Arctic-Frost” inquiry. Arctic Frost was an investigation led by the Biden administration to, as The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland explained, “target Republicans in key battleground states.” Then FBI Director Christopher Wray sent a memorandum to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland claiming that “fraudulent certificates of electors’ votes were submitted to the Archivist of the United States” for Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Wray also asserted that these votes were part of a grand conspiracy to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election.

Jack Smith relied on this investigation as the basis for his anti-Trump lawfare, through which he attempted to both put the then-former president in jail and spy on the entire Republican political apparatus. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – One of the largest evangelical college campus ministries in the country is seeing the Spirit of God moving among Greek Life students. Leaders say they are seeing a surge in the number of fraternity and sorority members walking away from their party lifestyle and “being radically transformed” by Jesus.

Greek InterVarsity is reporting significant developments in their efforts to reach members of fraternities and sororities on college campuses. Their vision: “Every Greek is one friend away from Jesus.”

The ministry is teaching students how to lead Bible studies in their fraternity and sorority chapters. On many campuses, Greek InterVarsity offers a weekly gathering for students from all Greek chapters and councils to come together for worship and fellowship. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Consistent polling shows trust in America continues to fade – in government, institutions, even religion. Yet one new report finds that many still turn to the Bible, even as others question its relevance in modern life.

For more than a decade, the American Bible Society has asked Americans each year about their relationship with scripture – asking who reads it, what they believe, and why it matters. The latest findings reveal a nation deeply divided over faith and trust.

Only 36% of Americans believe the Bible is totally accurate, while 39% say it is not. Nearly 1 in 5 people see the Bible as a tool written to control or manipulate people. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The Museum of the Bible will host the National Prayer Altar this Thursday, Oct. 30th, at 6 p.m. This event brings Americans together in-person and online. Its goal is to unite the U.S. church and bring healing to a divided country.

Pastors James and Sharon Ward lead the effort, which began in 2020. Prayer leaders at this year’s event include faith leaders Lisa Brunson, Phil Cappuccio, Brannon Carnes, Gary Hamrick, Barry and Heather Moore, Gordon Robertson, Tony Suarez, and Hannah C. Ward.

“At this year’s National Prayer Altar, we are calling every American to boldly declare our nation’s official motto, ‘In God we trust,'” said James Ward. “We’re calling every American to join us in praying for our nation to humbly return to our rightful place under God.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – In the last two years, the number of college students who identify as transgender has dramatically diminished, according to a report called The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.

Writing for the Centre for Heterodox Social Science, Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, analyzed several surveys, including one conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which questioned over 50,000 undergraduates from more than 250 American colleges.

Kaufmann told CBN News that more American college students see themselves as heterosexual now than in recent years. He said the number of people identifying as trans, or non-binary, which he says are identities that are so similar that differentiating between the two is like “splitting hairs,” first began rising in 2010 and continued upward until 2023, when it peaked. Since then, he reports, it has dropped by about half, from nearly seven percent to under four percent. He adds, college freshmen are a lot less likely than seniors to identify as trans.

(Worthy Insights) – Federal immigration agents are facing serious threats ranging from angry mobs to drug cartel bounties as tensions mount over the nationwide crackdown on migrants who entered the U.S. illegally.

An incident in Chicago made headlines after it escalated into a clash between ICE agents and local residents on Tuesday.

It started with a car chase through a Chicago neighborhood that ended in a crash and a riot. ICE agents say the driver was an immigrant in the U.S. illegally who was trying to flee arrest. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – More and more Gen Z-ers on college campuses are turning to Jesus, and now the wave of spiritual awakening has even reached a North Carolina fraternity house at one of the country’s top party schools.

It’s definitely not your typical place for a night of prayer and worship, but during a recent gathering called the “Night of Hope,” many young people on campus decided to give their lives to Christ. Instead of partying and getting drunk together, scores of young students recently came at East Carolina University’s Kappa Sigma House to listen intently to the Gospel.

Evangelist Doug Elks explained some key Bible verses to the group: “John 3:16, ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son so that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.’ Romans 5:8, ‘God demonstrates His love in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'” [ Source (Read More…) ]

As CBN News has reported, Life Surge gathers thousands of people from around the country to give them practical tools to live out their eternal purpose in their daily lives and careers.

People attend the one-day conference to be trained and equipped for marketplace ministry, but hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of attendees, are giving their lives to Jesus in what organizers are calling “a move of God.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The battle to keep sexually explicit books out of the hands of children has been given a big boost by a federal judge.

The judge ruled that Florida’s Escambia County School Board could remove a penguin-themed children’s book depicting “same-sex marriage” from its libraries and that such action does not violate the First Amendment.

The school board made the decision to remove the book, “And Tango Makes Three,” which follows two male penguins who adopt, hatch, and raise Tango, a penguin chick at New York’s Central Park Zoo. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – As the war between Israel and Hamas hits the two-year mark, Israeli leaders have quietly launched a more peaceful offensive on the public relations front.

It is based on the adage that “all politics is local.” Israel has breathed new life into that chiefly American political proverb with the launch of its latest venture.

While touting the strong partnership between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli officials are now turning their focus toward vital relations at the state level. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Documents leaked last Friday allegedly reveal a massive deal for advanced fighter jets between Russia and Iran, with the sale of 48 Sukhoi-35 aircraft to Tehran at its core. The planned sale of the aircraft has been known for some time, though various and often conflicting reports about the delivery schedule have surfaced periodically. As of now, the jets have not yet been delivered.

The Russian opposition website The Insider was the first to report on the leak on Thursday, after “Black Mirror” released the first batch of documents. The following day, screenshots of an internal pricing table detailing aircraft sales appeared online.

According to the hackers’ publication, the leak includes more than 300 documents from the Russian state defense conglomerate Rostec, outlining pricing structures and arms deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as mechanisms for bypassing Western sanctions. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that President Donald Trump may symbolically recognize a sovereign Palestinian state, depending on the results of peace talks between Israel, Hamas, and third-party nations.

Last Friday, Hamas agreed to the hostage exchange proposed by Trump alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the week, but the terrorist group expressed significant concerns about other parts of Trump’s plan, specifically calls for Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to hand over power in Gaza to a transitional technocratic government.

Leavitt faced a number of questions about Gaza during her Monday briefing with reporters, including whether that hypothetical transition of power in Gaza could reverse U.S. policy on Palestinian statehood. Australia, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom all recognized a sovereign Palestinian state in recent weeks. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – At the specific request of then-Vice President Joe Biden, the CIA buried an embarrassing intelligence report detailing the poor view the Ukrainian government took of his diplomatic efforts and the business dealings of his own family in that country.

Biden had traveled to Kyiv in December 2015, ostensibly to meet with leaders of that fledgling democracy and to deliver a warning against “the cancer of corruption.” And during an address to the Ukrainian parliament, he did condemn the “pervasive poison of cronyism, corruption, and kleptocracy.”

But behind the scenes, Ukrainian officials expressed “bewilderment and disappointment” that the vice president had crossed the Atlantic “almost exclusively to deliver a generic speech.” Officials close to then-President Petro Poroshenko had hoped for guidance “in support of or against specific officials within the Ukrainian government.” They discovered instead that Biden “had no intention of discussing substantive matters.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

Even before Charlie Kirk had been pronounced dead, the narrative apparatus of the Left was in full gear trying to blame the assassination on the Right. Once it became clear that the shooter was a standard-issue leftist, the narrative shifted to “this is a both-sides problem.” But before Kirk had been laid the rest, the experts and researchers had been mobilized to assert that the original claims, if not accurate, were consistent with a pattern in which political violence in America is largely a right-wing problem. Having spent my career in academia sopping up such unctuous claims, let me assure you that this is complete nonsense. Political violence in America is mostly a problem of the Left.

Begin with some bright, shining facts. There were two assassination attempts against President Trump in the recent election and none against his opponents. The California gunman arrested outside Brett Kavanaugh’s home in 2022 planned to assassinate three conservative Supreme Court justices, not any liberal ones. Attempts on the lives of members of Congress this century have resulted in one Republican (Steve Scalise) and one Democrat (Gabby Giffords) suffering serious injuries.

The most recent violence against elected politicians — the murder of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the serious injuring of State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in June — was committed by a deranged loner with no political motives, despite efforts by the Left to portray it as a political act of the Right.

(Worthy Insights) – The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodegenerative disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.

Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion of President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Tylenol taken in pregnancy and early infancy has driven rises in autism. But one stakeholder has for years viewed the evidence as credible enough to act upon, at least privately: The makers of Tylenol. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – There is a “generational reversal” underway, according to researchers studying church attendance, and it’s sparking a deepening curiosity about Scripture.

Newly released data from the Barna Group shows Gen Zers and millennials have overtaken older generations, often attending church services more regularly than their parents and even grandparents.

On top of that, as CBN News previously reported, Bible sales are skyrocketing. Sales of the good book jumped 22% from 2023 to 2024, sparking what The Wall Street Journal is dubbing “a golden age of Bible publishing.”

With those stats in mind, CBN Films, in partnership with Fathom Events, is releasing, “Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament,” in theaters Nov. 2, 3, and 5. The movie explores how the four Gospels of the New Testament were written, preserved, and passed down throughout history, making them the most influential spiritual accounts ever recorded.

(Worthy Insights) – Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia.  

Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump’s first term.  

Much of their reporting has been debunked – and shown to be part of a smear campaign by high-ranking officials to undermine Trump, but the identities of those leakers have remained hidden because of the government’s apparent unwillingness to expose its own and the refusal of reporters to identify the people who misled them and the nation.
