Most homicide victims in Chicago are young, black men, and the suspects are, too. From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire.

Chicago is a very Liberal city, a Democrat mayor, a Democrat-run city council, in a state with a Democrat governor, and a place with some of the most-restrictive gun laws in the nation. According to all the Democrats running for president in 2020, those bona fides should amount to a paradise on earth, if you were to take their marketing at face value. Yet, Chicago is not a blissful paradise, it is a veritable powder keg on the verge of blowing sky-high. You will find this phenomenon repeated across the country in every place where Democrats are in power. Ever wonder why that is?

Every four years, the Democrats rally the troops and remind black voters that their only hope is to keep voting Democrat, which they do, and after the votes are cast the politicians promptly abandon them. You would think after a while the voters would wise up, but sadly, most do not. What will it take to make black voters see that the Democratic Party is the one holding them down, keeping them poor, and keeping them stuck on government assistance?

Listen to the video at the bottom from David Webb, and listen to what this black man has to say about institutional racism, I promise you it will be most enlightening. Or, you can listen to this video from Democrat Joe Biden, bragging about how he incarcerated an entire generation of black Americans for petty crimes.

18 murders in 24 hours: Inside the most violent day in 60 years in Chicago

FROM CHICAGO SUN TIMES: While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.

A hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.
A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.
A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.
A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.

While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.

From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.

“We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the crime lab. “ … I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.”

The next highest murder total for a single day was on Aug. 4, 1991, when 13 people were killed in Chicago, according to the crime lab.

Can anyone think of a current politician who has done more to hold back minorities than @JoeBiden?

Pfleger: A time bomb

The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a longtime crusader against gun violence who leads St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham, said it was “open season” last weekend in his neighborhood and others on the South and West sides.

“On Saturday and particularly Sunday, I heard people saying all over, ‘Hey, there’s no police anywhere, police ain’t doing nothing,’” Pfleger said. “I sat and watched a store looted for over an hour,” he added. “No police came. I got in my car and drove around to some other places getting looted and didn’t see police anywhere.”

Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on May 31 alone, Chicago’s 911 emergency center received 65,000 calls for all types of service — 50,000 more than on a usual day.

Pfleger noted the systemic problems that have plagued minority communities for decades — like joblessness, food insecurity and a lack of housing — were already heightened by the COVID-19 outbreak, which he said “made a bad situation worse.”

Floyd’s killing in Minnesota simply brought further to the fore the “hopelessness and anger” felt by those living in blighted communities, added Pfleger, who said the current unrest reminds him of the rioting that broke out when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

“It’s like a time bomb out here,” Pfleger said. “People are on the edge, people are angry, people are poor, and they don’t even know when it’s going to change.”

If immediate action isn’t taken to address systemic racism, poverty and “black folks being shot down and killed out here like dogs,” Pfleger said the last weekend in May will merely serve as a “coming attraction of what’s going to happen next.”

Most homicide victims in Chicago are young, black men, and the suspects are, too. But murders have fallen significantly in recent years, along with police-involved shootings. There were 764 murders and 12 fatal police-involved shootings in 2016, compared with 492 murders and three fatal police-involved shootings last year.

“The level of activity experienced over the last week has been unprecedented and the Department is actively investigating multiple incidents across the city and working to determine the motives in these cases,” Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Ahern said in a statement. “… The Department is actively working to seek justice for all the residents impacted, especially those who have been killed or injured by these senseless acts of violence.” READ MORE

Pentagon Makes Stunning Move To Incorporate The Palantir Maven AI Smart System As A ‘Program Of Record’ For It’s Long-term Warfighting Lineup

The Pentagon has chosen the Palantir Maven AI War System software platform to become a ‘program of record’ in its warfighting lineup

While Peter Thiel is stationed across the street from the Vatican giving lectures on the coming Antichrist, his dystopian company Palantir is busy bringing in the Mark of the Beast System. To that point, news coming out of Washington this morning shows us that the Palantir Maven AI War System software has just been adopted by the Pentagon as a ‘program of record’. The Palantir site says that Maven “powers real-time, AI-driven decisions in critical government and commercial enterprises in the West, from the factory floors to the front lines.” What could possibly go wrong?

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 2 John 1:7 (KJB)

I know it feels like we are living in a movie like those Christian prophecy films from the 1990’s, but in reality, we are living in the days where prophecy is unfolding from the pages of your King James Bible. To a lost world, and even to the lukewarm Laodiceans who are saved but clueless, things are confusing and baffling as they bounce from one bad headline to another. But to those of us that read and believe The Book, it is crystal-clear what’s going on. World War Trump may or may not wind up being WW3, but sooner or later, that’s the station where this train is pulling into.

Pentagon to adopt Palantir Maven AI as core US military system

FROM YAHOO! FINANACE: Palantir Maven artificial intelligence system will become an official program of record, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon leaders, a move that locks in long-term use of Palantir’s weapons-targeting ‌technology across the U.S. military.

In the March 9 letter to senior Pentagon leaders and U.S. military commanders, Feinberg said embedding Palantir’s Maven ‌Smart System would provide warfighters “with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains”. The decision is expected to go into effect by the close of the current fiscal year, which ends in September, according to the letter, which was reviewed by Reuters and has not been previously reported.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 21, 2026

Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military, which has carried out thousands of targeted strikes against Iran over the last three weeks.

Designating Maven as a program of record will streamline its adoption across all arms of the military and provide ‌stable, long-term funding, Feinberg said.

The memo ordered oversight of ⁠Maven be moved from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to the Pentagon’s Chief Digital Artificial Intelligence Office within 30 days. Future contracting with Palantir will be handled by the Army, the letter said.

“It is imperative that we invest now ⁠and with focus to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across the Joint Force and establish AI-enabled decision-making as the cornerstone of our strategy,” Feinberg wrote. Palantir and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Feinberg’s order is a significant win for Palantir, which has landed a growing stream of contracts with the U.S. government, including a deal announced last summer with the U.S. Army worth up to $10 billion. Those awards have helped ‌double the company’s stock price in the past year, lifting its market value to nearly $360 billion. Maven can rapidly analyze huge amounts of data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors and intelligence reports, and use AI to automatically identify potential threats or targets, like enemy military vehicles, buildings and weapons stockpiles.

Missiles Are Falling In Jerusalem, America Preparing For Ground Invasion Of Iran, Stocks Plummet And Oil Skyrockets As The World Slides Toward The Edge

Missiles Strike In And Around Jerusalem As Trump Considers Ground Invasion And Investors Dump Stocks On War Fears

Iran is not just firing missiles into Israel in general—they are now striking in and around Jerusalem, the city that God chose to place His name there. The spiritual and geopolitical epicenter of the earth is once again under direct attack, and the timing of it, alongside everything else unfolding, should not be lost on anyone paying attention. What began as retaliation has now become escalation, and Jerusalem is in the crosshairs. While all this is going on, the United States is moving steadily closer to full-scale war footing.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:2 (KJB)

Behind closed doors in Washington, Pentagon officials have done far more than talk. Detailed operational plans for deploying American ground forces into Iran have been drawn up and presented. Senior commanders are submitting specific requests, positioning troops, and preparing logistics for what could become the largest Middle East ground war in a generation.

This is not early discussion—this is late-stage preparation. And while missiles fall in Jerusalem and generals prepare for war, the financial system is reacting exactly how you would expect when the world senses that something big is coming. The markets are dropping hard. Traders are not confused—they understand escalation when they see it. A widening Middle East war, the potential for U.S. ground invasion, and threats to global oil supply are combining into a perfect storm. Oil prices are surging, volatility is spiking, and investor confidence is cracking under the weight of uncertainty.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 20, 2026

This is how it always begins—not with a single collapse, but with a series of shocks that rattle the system until something finally gives way.

And now look at the full picture:

Iran launching attacks that reach Jerusalem
Israel fully engaged in a growing regional war
The United States preparing for boots on the ground
The global economy beginning to shake

Everything is converging at once. Jerusalem under fire, America preparing for invasion, and the global financial system trembling. That is not coincidence—that is alignment. Because every time Jerusalem becomes the focal point of global conflict, the stakes are never just political. The city sits at the center of both world history and God’s prophetic timeline, and when it becomes the target, it signals that events are moving into a different phase.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump, Hegseth And Netanyahu Have Turned The Iran War Into A Global Reality Show As Bombs Fall And The Cameras Roll

Trump, Hegseth And Netanyahu Lead A Media-Driven Iran War That Feels Scripted For The Screen But Carries Deadly Real-World Consequences

There’s something deeply unsettling about the way this Iran war is unfolding, and it’s not just the bombs falling or the rising body count. It’s the tone, it’s the presentation, it’s the overly-crafted branding. What we are witnessing right now feels less like a traditional war and more like a carefully scripted production — a geopolitical reality show where Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Benjamin Netanyahu are not just leading a military campaign, they are starring in it while the world is watching. Or are they?

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, from the very beginning, this conflict has been packaged for consumption. The language coming out of Washington and Tel Aviv is not cautious, sober wartime communication — it’s bold, theatrical, and designed for headlines. Hegseth openly boasts about overwhelming force, saying Iran is “toast” and that the war “was never meant to be a fair fight.” Netanyahu declares “we are winning” as Iran is “being decimated,” while Trump positions himself as the ultimate decision-maker, making it clear the end of the war will be determined on his timeline and how he feels in his bones about it. This is not serious strategy behind closed doors — this is performance theater. And it’s intentional. Even analysts have noted that the administration is effectively framing the war “like a game” to the public. That’s not accidental, that’s messaging strategy. Today we look at the very odd cast of characters that inhabit this Trump War Zone reality show that comes with horrific real-world consequences.
