Operation Talisman Sabre in Australia - It's one of the largest military exercises ever, and it is now underway in the Indo-Pacific. Nineteen nations, including India, are participating with the United States and Australia. The message to China? The alliance of nations can be engaged quickly in the event of war. But can all 19 countries be counted on to respond if China invades Taiwan? Obama Intel Investigation. Treason or Retribution? “Ugly and sad.” The DNI has referred evidence of manufactured Russia-gate intelligence by Barack Obama and his administration to the Department of Justice. How should Americans respond to this development? Stand America’s Bishop E.W. Jackson contends, "If people are violating the constitution and seeking to undermine a lawfully elected president, those people have got to be held accountable. It's ugly, it's sad, but it has to be done to set the precedent: you may not do this, and if you do, we're going to find you and we're going to hold you accountable." Fighting to Restore the COVID Shot Recommendation for Kids. Is it a matter of health and science, or making money? RFK Jr.’s recent removal of the COVID vaccine recommendation for children is now being challenged in federal court.   Katy Tolento, Executive Director of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries, suggests that Kennedy’s decision was within his legal authority and the correct course of action.  She contends, “It is actually about the money” that pediatricians, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies could lose if children aren’t vaccinated against COVID. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary argues that the HHS decision was based on science.  "There is no evidence that healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped  recommending it for children."                           Syria Breakup Underway. The dream of a unified Syrian nation is fading before our eyes. In this week’s commentary, Gary Lane argues that besieged minority groups—the Druze in the south, the Kurds in the north, and the Alawites along the coast—are obstacles to Turkish President Erdoğan’s ambition of re-establishing the Ottoman Empire and a Turkish caliphate. Lane contends that recent fighting shows the HTS government is both unable and unwilling to protect religious minority groups from militant Sunnis. As a result, these groups reject “Erdoğan’s influence and the leadership of his puppet president, al-Scharaa.”
