Former Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali comes to Christ and discovers the supernatural Christian heritage of West, and how worldly families destroyed it. She is now married and living in the US.
"I like Os Guinness’s analogy of the cut flower civilization. I find it very vivid in regard to non-Christian conservative parents. Conservative non-Christian families are cutting themselves off from our foundational roots.
Let’s think about what happens to a plant when the roots die. What happens when you pick flowers and put them in a vase? Obviously, the flowers wither. And if you cut conservative morals off from Christianity, they fade.
"This decline is exactly what we have seen in the West over the last century and a half. Some people say the decay dates back to the Enlightenment. It’s a gradual fading that goes on and on. My fear is that we have landed in a place of moral wilderness.
"For the West to restore itself, it has to rediscover and revive its biblical roots. I insist that the biblical roots matter most, morally and spiritually. If our moral and spiritual roots in the Bible are cut off, we’re asking for a great deal of trouble. Christianity is the only religion that can rejuvenate the West because of the freedom of conscience it preaches. It does not demand or impose on individuals that they must actually believe in God. You’re encouraged to have faith, you’re invited to come to Christ. Like Os Guinness’s analogy of the cut flower civilization. I find it very vivid in regard to non-Christian conservative parents.

Most people hear “Hormuz” and think gas prices.
That’s part of it. But it’s bigger. It’s a central artery for global trade, and we talked about how disruptions hit second-order systems fast, including inputs tied to food production (field work and fertilizers), trucking, and downstream shocks in everything from shipping insurance to medicine, medical supplies, medical treatments and regional stability.
This is why the “we’re energy independent so it doesn’t matter” line is naive. In a globally priced commodity world, you don’t get to opt out.
A number of officials with high-level security clearance, and copious amounts of intel, have warned the president about this. This includes Mr. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. But for some inexplicable reason, Mr. Trump was unentreatable. A seductive influence has moved him away from his previous, sincerely held opinions. Below are a few he expressed in public, going back a quarter century.
“I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.”
“We’re going to end these endless wars.”
“We will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars. They never ended.”
“I will expel the warmongers from our national security state… and stop the war profiteering.”
“He [his predecessors] sent our blood and treasure to back regime change in Iraq, regime change in Libya, regime change in Syria and every other globalist disaster for half a century.
“We believe that the job of the United States military is not to wage endless regime-change wars around the globe, ...
Intelligence, Irreverence, Evil and Overweening Pride are a bad combination in any man.
Epstein was shrewd and cunning as well as evil. Twenty-four federal exhibits from the January 2026 DOJ EFTA release tell a complete story of eugenic dreams come to life. The evidence documents not a sudden Epstein obsession but a sustained, eight-year private pursuit: active correspondence with George Church — one of the world’s most prominent geneticists — as early as November 2011; a 2014 exchange with a major healthcare executive who asked casually for “cloning updates”; the circulation of Church’s transhumanist writings under the subject line “my friend george” in 2015; and then, beginning in July 2018, a fully operational investment relationship with a biohacker running an overseas surgical laboratory, toward a company whose stated objectives included the first live birth of a human designer baby or human clone within five years.
Among those operations: the legal ...
