Rational, highly concerned Americans are trying to understand and explain what's going on, and they are beginning to connect some dots from history and Scripture, like Dr. Naomi Wolf, who writes,
"I don’t even understand how this is possible: the same ugly, distorted expression of glee, the same hideous grin, is manifesting in a twenty-one-year old blonde girl in a Southern town who posts online celebrating Kirk’s death; a gay man walking his dog on the Upper West Side of Manhattan; a suburban middle-class woman with a bob haircut on a sidewalk in Seattle; a grey-templed college professor in Michigan; and so on, and so on; all celebrating, in exactly the same tone, the same words.

When Jesus cast out the demons, they entered a herd of pigs, who rushed into the sea and were drowned.
"I recall as I scroll through these mocking faces, the descriptions from 400 years of exorcism literature of “mocking” demonic entities. I never knew what that really meant til now. But I am unnerved, terrified, really, seeing something I cannot explain rationally: the possession of many different people from completely different backgrounds across the country, by the same demon."

The narrow strait is the most important chokepoint for the world's oil supply. Some 21 million barrels — or $1.2 billion worth of oil — pass through the strait every day.
Will a closed Strait hurt Iran? In terms of international oil sales, yes, but in terms of daily life, no. Iran pumps 3.5 million barrels of crude oil per day. The situation at this hour:
