Iran is forming a temporary leadership council after the assassination of supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei by the US and Israel

by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News: After weeks of speculation and reporting that the U.S. and Israel were about to bomb Iran, it finally happened earlier today, Saturday, February 28, 2026. This story will now dominate news headlines for the next several days, at least. I have purposely not reported on previous news reports about […]

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did something this past week that many former Scouts had been hoping to see years ago. The Pentagon head drew a clear line in the sand and told Scouting America that its era of pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates is over if the organization...

The woman who helped organize the invasion of a St. Paul, Minnesota, church in the middle of service last month now faces an ethics complaint that may cost her the ability to practice law in the state. Nekima Levy Armstrong, a former president of the Minneapolis NAACP, has admitted to leading the agitators who invaded Cities Church on Sunday, Jan. 18. Agitators said they targeted the church because one of its pastors also works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Armstrong faces federal charges for interfering with the First Amendment rights of Christians, and she has pleaded not guilty. In order to practice law in Minnesota, attorneys must maintain an active license with the Minnesota Lawyer Registration Office and abide by professional standards. The Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility in Minnesota investigates and prosecutes complaints of unethical conduct by lawyers, and the Center to Advance Security in America filed a complaint against Armstrong last month. “Nekima Levy Armstrong’s outrageous behavior in leading aggressive activists into a church during worship and potentially committing a federal crime is unacceptable conduct for an attorney,” James Fitzpatrick, the center’s director, told The Daily Signal in a statement Wednesday. “We are hopeful the Minnesota Bar will initiate an investigation based on our complaint and are encouraged to see the Department of Justice investigating the matter.” ?HORRIFYING NEW DETAILSThe invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought. Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School.?One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"?1/7 pic.twitter.com/DUNPRdECGa— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) January 25, 2026 The Church Invasion A federal grand jury indicted 39 people, including Armstrong, on two charges: violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which also protects access to churches; and violating the Ku Klux Klan Act, which criminalizes efforts to deprive Americans of their fundamental rights—in this case, the right to the free exercise of religion. According to the indictment, between 20 and 40 agitators, who claimed to be opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement because one of the church’s pastors worked for ICE, refused to leave when asked and shouted, “Who shut this down? We shut this down!” The indictment also mentions that agitators screamed at crying children, blocked parents from getting to their children in Sunday School, and that one agitator told a child his parents were Nazis and going to hell. Armstrong organized the church invasion, and began the incident by interrupting service with “loud declarations about the church harboring a ‘director of ICE’ and indicating that the time for judgment had come,” according to the indictment. At her apparent direction, “other co-conspirators immediately joined in by yelling and blowing whistles in a takeover attack on the church, all of which quickly caused the situation in the church to become chaotic, menacing, and traumatizing to church members.” Violating Professional Ethics? The Center to Advance Security in America complaint, filed on Jan. 22, accuses Armstrong of violating the Minnesota Supreme Court’s Rules of Professional Conduct in at least two ways. The complaint notes that the rules forbid a lawyer from committing “a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects.” They also forbid harassment “on the basis of … religion.” The Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment. The office typically does not announce investigations, and its investigations can last as long as a year. Fitzpatrick told The Daily Signal that he has not heard from the office since filing the complaint.

On Thursday Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee as part of their investigation of the Epstein files, where she claimed in her opening statement that she had never met Jeffrey Epstein, and accused the committee of using her testimony to "distract" from and "cover up" Donald Trump's involvement with Epstein. This is a theme that the leftist media had been pushing, and later, on CNN's The Arena, Hillary's words seemed to serve as a shot in the arm for them to ratchet up the anti-Trump rhetoric. About thirty minutes into the show, which was dominated by coverage and analysis of the Clinton testimony, CNN pundit and former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield insisted the Clintons were fine, but all this would damage President Trump. BEDINGFIELD: As a political matter, I mean I think the idea of bringing Hillary Clinton in, again, to me, this only underscores for the American public the hypocrisy in the way the Republicans are handling this. But also, you have to remember that the person for whom Epstein is the biggest political problem, the biggest political albatross right now is Donald Trump. And so the more this is front and center, the more Donald Trump is having to talk about this, the more damage it's doing to him. Bill Clinton [who would testify Friday] has not been president of the United States in 26 years. So should he be accountable for things that he did that were unacceptable? Yes, he should. Of course he should. But as a purely political matter, this is damaging to Donald Trump. Classic Democrat spin. Hunt then addressed the only conservative on her panel, Scott Jennings and presented a disclaimer of sorts. HUNT: There's what may or may not be in the files that names Donald Trump...I think we've been very clear on this show, it's very important to be clear that these files are of an investigation that contains allegations. It is not saying that those allegations are true. Right we're not sitting here and saying, you know, the current president has committed a crime, we're not saying Bill Clinton has committed a crime, we're not saying that.  But Donald Trump as the current President of the United States has the power to release the Democrats say, 2.5 million files that are still unreleased here... JENNINGS: Well if the files can be released, and they should be released according to the law that Congress passed, they should do that. Polite exchange, but things were about to get heated.  JENNINGS:.. Regarding Trump, if they end up asking him questions, I assume he's going to end up testifying somewhat about the whistleblower status that he has in these files. I mean, the only real true thing that we know is that he called up the police in Florida and said, you need to look at this. You need to look at this guy. You need to look at Ghislaine Maxwell. He was telling them he was warning them about what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. And although you're being quite clear that the President has never been accused of anything, any wrongdoing, you have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat, even Hillary Clinton, just a little while ago, all too happy to go on television and cast aspersions on his character using this idea that well, his name appears in the files. They're trying to mislead the American people. It's the Steele Dossier all over again. That's all this is. Great analogy, but Hunt wasn't having it. HUNT: Hold on, hold on.. JENNINGS: ..Let's just throw out and hope it sticks even though there is no evidence whatsoever. HUNT: Hold on, the Steele Dossier is completely unrelated to what we're talking about. JENNINGS: It is because it was a bunch of uncorroborated crap, and you're trying to stick it to the guy. HUNT: That's not what I'm doing. Hunt hadn't yet had enough of trying to cast doubt on Trump.  HUNT: The thing is, if Donald Trump is in fact the whistleblower and it is shown to be the whistleblower exclusively in these files, why did he fight so hard to prevent Congress from passing this law in the first place? JENNINGS: He signed the law....He did raise a legitimate issue, which is when you start dumping unredacted and uncorroborated documents out into the public domain, people who have nothing to do with it could be getting hurt....But the reality is he signed the law they've released millions of documents. Keep in mind that most liberal shows, by design, don't have a Scott Jennings on the panel to refute their unfounded accusations against President Trump,

Can demons shape-shift to appear like aliens?According to BlazeTV writer and producer Josh Jennings, yes. When he was a young teenager, he says, he was visited by an alien-like entity that terrified him so deeply that it took years for him to recover.On this episode of “Strange Encounters” with BlazeTV host Rick Burgess, Josh shares his harrowing experience. When he was 14 years old, Josh’s family moved into a “fixer-upper” he describes as having had “some strange stuff done in it.”“The lower half had been a house; the upper part had been a boarding house. … And in one of the rooms upstairs, there was a room where there was all kinds of satanic imagery written on the walls,” he says.Even though his parents kept the sinister room a secret from Josh and his siblings, “painted over” the dark symbolism, and “[prayed] for any demonic spirits to go away,” evil still had a foothold in the home.For a time, life in the house seemed normal, but then one night when Josh was asleep in his room, the peaceful facade shattered.“So I'm dreaming about baseball, and in my dream, somebody hits, like, a pop fly. And I hear the crack of the bat, and it instantly wakes me up and I'm fully alert,” he recounts.“I'm looking at my window, and then something catches in the corner of my eye and I look up at my closet. And there, floating in the air, was a head. It was just a human head, except this thing was not human. It had very thin green skin, and it kind of had an inner glow. And it had short, cropped black hair, and when I looked at it, it bared its teeth at me.”It’s been 27 years since this event occurred, and the sinister entity’s teeth are still the detail Josh remembers with the most clarity.“Every tooth in its mouth was about an inch long, and it had, like, a pearly iridescence to it,” he recalls.“This thing snarled at me, and it was between me and my door, so there was no way to get away from it. And so I did what any self-respecting 14-year-old boy would do, and I threw the covers over my head and turned my face to the wall and began just to pray, just to pray that God would make it go away. And when I eventually got the courage to look again, it was gone.”But the alien-like entity isn’t even the wildest part of Josh’s story.Later in life, he discovered that these types of encounters had been happening to people in his family for at least “two generations” before him. Both his parents and grandmother had experienced similar demonic run-ins that disrupted their sleep.“That incident had a profound effect on my life,” says Josh, noting that he developed a “drinking problem that spanned about a decade" because it became so difficult to sleep at night.“I would lie awake at night, afraid to close my eyes and afraid to open my eyes. So whichever state they were in, I was afraid to do the opposite of that,” he tells Rick.A few years later, however, Josh had another supernatural encounter, but this time, he believes the entity was an angel that may have been protecting him from another demon-alien encounter.To hear the story, watch the episode above.Want more from Rick Burgess?To enjoy more bold talk and big laughs, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

We had just come off a long hospital stay. My wife was exhausted, in enormous pain, and I was worn thin. Airports do not feel neutral when your life is measured in surgical cycles.The terminal was under construction. Barriers had shifted. Signage was unclear. I did not know the layout.A nation cannot remain free if its authority grows more comfortable correcting the harmless than confronting the dangerous.I made a bad call.Instead of threading a wheelchair and two carry-ons through a winding set of surprisingly empty nylon lanes, I released one barrier and moved us laterally toward what looked like the correct checkpoint.No one stood behind us. No one was delayed. No one was endangered.An agent met us there and, with visible seriousness, told me to return to the beginning and follow the empty maze properly.At first I thought he was kidding. A beat later, I half expected him to channel the Soup Nazi: “No plane for you!”Swearing under my breath, I turned the wheelchair around and pushed her back through vacant lanes, struggling to make all the 90-degree turns with her chair, two crutches, and two small carry-ons.Security did not increase. Compliance did.On another trip, in a different airport, TSA members approached us and said her shoes had triggered an alarm.She wore ordinary flats with small bows on the toes. I picked them out myself.Her feet are carbon fiber, encased in thin rubber shells. The pylons and mechanical joints above them are exposed. No flesh hides anything. Everything is visible. Everything is easily inspected with a glance and a handheld wand.She dresses nicely to fly, but she wears a skirt for a reason. Years ago, TSA agents made her take her pants off so they could inspect her prosthetic legs.Yes, that really happened.So when her “shoes” set off an alarm, I was puzzled.“What kind of alarm?” I asked.“We can’t say.”“What possible alarm can a double-amputee woman with clearly visible prosthetics and nice shoes cause?” I asked, with more than a little exasperation.“We can’t say.”They scanned her again — by hand, so thoroughly it might have spared us a doctor’s visit. Then they emptied her purse.Every husband knows the territory of a purse. You do not rummage through it casually. You do not rearrange it without permission. It is not simply a bag. It is ordered space.For Gracie, it held carefully packed medication, identification, medical notes, and personal items. It was not decorative. It was survival.One by one, they removed those items and laid them out on a metal table under fluorescent lights.She was already nervous. Another extended surgical session awaited her at the other end of that flight. She was in significant pain. Airports amplify vulnerability when your body has endured nearly a hundred operations.She tried to remain composed.Then she began to cry — quietly, the way people cry when exhaustion, pain, and exposure arrive at the same moment.RELATED: Sometimes doing nothing is the hardest challenge of all Devrimb / Getty ImagesPeople noticed.A woman nearby said, “This is unnecessary.”A man shook his head. “C’mon!”Another muttered, “This is ridiculous.”Others shifted uncomfortably. They understood something: This might be permitted, but it was morally disproportionate.The inspection continued without visible alarm or explanation. And no discretion. Only “policy.”TSA Cares exists, and we have used it. But shifting discharge dates can make advance coordination impossible.Years earlier, this same woman had sung twice for the president who created the TSA. She performed for wounded warriors at Walter Reed and at high-security inaugural events where real threats were assessed with seriousness and discretion.None of the agents knew that. They did not need to.Still ... the irony landed.An institution born in the aftermath of national trauma had become meticulous about procedure and careless about proportion.Around the time this happened, I watched footage of thousands pouring across the southern border. Officials insisted the border was secure.Standing there, watching a federal agent apply painstaking pressure to the purse of a woman in severe pain, I could not square the disparity.The border has since tightened. Enforcement proved immediate — when leadership wanted it.That raises the harder question: If enforcement can appear instantly when desired, why does it vanish when inconvenient?Security matters. Borders matter. Authority matters.Authority also requires judgment. Law-abiding citizens comply. Evildoers do not.When enforcement concentrates on the people who already follow the rules and hesitates before the people who break them, something has gone very wrong.RELATED: We don’t have to live this way Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesIt reminded me of classrooms where a teacher, unwilling to confront one disruptive student, punishes the entire class instead. Uniform enforcement feels strong, but it often masks administrative convenience. The compliant absorb the penalty. The disruptive test the edges.Institutions can learn that habit too.Anyone who remembers the movie “Airplane!” may recall the airport-security scene where officers violently interrogate a harmless elderly woman while an obvious threat walks straight through behind them.The danger comes when parody starts to resemble policy.A nation cannot remain free if its authority grows more comfortable correcting the harmless than confronting the dangerous.When the maze is guarded more fiercely than the gate, trust begins to fracture. When power falls hardest on the obedient and lightest on the defiant, something deeper than inconvenience is at stake.If we mistake ritual for security and compliance for justice, we will become a nation trained to submit. Maybe we already are.We don’t have to live this way.
