SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

“Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us,” Justice Clarence Thomas declared Monday, when the Supreme Court decided — by one vote –to hear none of the 2020 election cases raising issues of voter fraud and illegal votes.

I actually left the Republican Party back around 2015 after watching how the GOP let the radical Left walk all over them time and time again, I only came back to vote for Donald Trump which I did twice. So I cannot use what’s happening currently as my reason for quitting the Republican Party because I am no longer a member. But I would like to draw your attention to this as further proof of election night shenanigans.

On the November 3rd election night, when a handful of Democratic-run states suddenly decided to stop counting the votes, I immediately cried out ‘fraud!’, and no one can tell me any different. And now that the Supreme Court voted to not hear the lower court cases concerning election night and voter fraud, that tells me they are engaging in coverup. Because who wouldn’t want to hear those cases, and let whatever the truth is come rising up to the surface for all to see? That would settle the question forever, instead we now have yet another conspiracy theory verified.

Clarence Thomas Dissent in Election Cases: ‘Our Fellow Citizens Deserve Better’

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted with the liberal justices to deny review of the lower court decisions. Four justices must vote to hear a case to put it on the Court’s docket, but only three justices — Thomas, fellow conservative Samuel Alito, and libertarian Neil Gorsuch — voted to take at least two of four of the key cases from November 2020.

All three dissenting justices took the unusual step of writing opinions as to why the Court should have taken at minimum two of these cases.

“The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the ‘Manner’ of federal elections,” began Thomas. “Yet both before and after the 2020 election, nonlegislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead. As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emergency applications contesting those changes. The petitions here present a clear example.”

“The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots: 8 p.m. on election day. Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days,” Thomas explained, referring to one of the rejected cases. “These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.”

“For more than a century, this Court has recognized that the Constitution operates as a limitation upon the State in respect of any attempt to circumscribe the legislative power to regulate federal elections,” he continued, quoting Supreme Court precedent. “Because the Federal Constitution, not state constitutions, gives state legislatures authority to regulate federal elections, petitioners presented a strong argument that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision violated the Constitution by overriding the clearly expressed intent of the legislature.”

“But elections enable self-governance only when they include processes that give citizens (including the losing candidates and their supporters) confidence in the fairness of the election,” Thomas added, quoting a recent Supreme Court case that held, “Confidence in the integrity of our electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy.”

“Unclear rules threaten to undermine this system. They sow confusion and ultimately dampen confidence in the integrity and fairness of elections,” he explained. “To prevent confusion, we have thus repeatedly — although not as consistently as we should — blocked rule changes made by courts close to an election.”

The mail-deadline case did not impact enough votes to change the 2020 election. “But we may not be so lucky in the future,” Thomas warned. “Indeed, a separate decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court may have already altered an election result.”

Thomas surmised:

That is not a prescription for confidence. Changing the rules in the middle of the game is bad enough. Such rule changes by officials who may lack authority to do so is even worse. When those changes alter election results, they can severely damage the electoral system on which our self-governance so heavily depends. If state officials have the authority they have claimed, we need to make it clear. If not, we need to put an end to this practice now before the consequences become catastrophic.

“At first blush, it may seem reasonable to address this question when it next arises,” he aknowledged. “But whatever force that argument has in other contexts, it fails in the context of elections.”

“For factually complex cases, compressing discovery, testimony, and appeals into this timeline is virtually impossible,” Thomas explained of the five-week window to resolve November presidential election disputes before the Electoral College meets in December, adding “this timeframe imposes especially daunting constraints when combined with the expanded use of mail-in ballots.”

“Voting by mail was traditionally limited to voters who had defined, well-documented reasons to be absent,” he observed, but then noted that while only four percent of Pennsylvania votes were by mail-in ballot last cycle, that the number soared to 38 percent in 2020.

“This expansion impedes postelection judicial review because litigation about mail-in ballots is substantially more complicated,” Thomas continued, quoting expert reports. “For one thing, as election administrators have long agreed, the risk of fraud is vastly more prevalent for mail-in ballots … The reason is simple: Absentee voting replaces the oversight that exists at polling places with something akin to an honor system.”

As a result, one article concluded that, “voting by mail is now common enough and problematic enough that election experts say there have been multiple elections in which no one can say with confidence which candidate was the deserved winner.”

“Because fraud is more prevalent with mail-in ballots, increased use of those ballots raises the likelihood that courts will be asked to adjudicate questions that go to the heart of election confidence,” Thomas reasoned after examining several examples.

“Perhaps most significant, postelection litigation sometimes forces courts to make policy decisions that they have no business making,” Thomas added, giving the example that when election officials illegally change rules during an election where some voters have already voted, “courts must choose between potentially disenfranchising a subset of voters and enforcing the election provisions — such as receipt deadlines — that the legislature believes are necessary for election integrity.”

Filing lawsuits after Election Day “is often incapable of testing allegations of systemic maladministration, voter suppression, or fraud that go to the heart of public confidence in election results,” Thomas noted as additional reason to decide these legal issues now. “An incorrect allegation, left to fester without a robust mechanism to test and disprove it, drives honest citizens out of the democratic process and breeds distrust of our government.”

“Because the judicial system is not well suited to address these kinds of questions in the short time period available immediately after an election, we ought to use available cases outside that truncated context to address these admittedly important questions,” Thomas declared. “Here, we have the opportunity to do so almost two years before the next federal election cycle. Our refusal to do so by hearing these cases is befuddling.”

“The issue presented is capable of repetition, yet evades review,” Thomas determined, citing the Court’s standard for hearing cases of this nature:

This exception to mootness, which the Court routinely invokes in election cases, “applies where (1) the challenged action is in its duration too short to be fully litigated prior to cessation or expiration, and (2) there is a reasonable expectation that the same complaining party will be subject to the same action again.

“I agree with JUSTICE THOMAS that we should grant review in these cases,” Alito began in a separate dissent, joined by Gorsuch. “They present an important and recurring constitutional question … that has divided the lower courts, and our review at this time would be greatly beneficial.”

Quoting the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s concurring opinion from the 2000 case Bush v. Gore, Alito continued:

Now, the election is over, and there is no reason for refusing to decide the important question that these cases pose. The provisions of the Federal Constitution conferring on state legislatures, not state courts, the authority to make rules governing federal elections would be meaningless if a state court could override the rules adopted by the legislature simply by claiming that a state constitutional provision gave the courts the authority to make whatever rules it thought appropriate for the conduct of a fair election. But a decision would provide invaluable guidance for future elections.

“Conservatives will be very concerned that Justice Barrett did not provide the fourth and final vote to take these cases,” former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell—who also served on the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity—told Breitbart News in an exclusive reaction to the Supreme Court’s refusal to take any of these cases. “Republicans have long since written off Roberts, and Kavanaugh is giving us a string of disappointments, but this is the first time that Barrett has failed to step up to the plate.”

He echoed Thomas, who concluded his dissent with:

One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully dissent.

The cases are Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid and Corman v. Pennsylvania Democratic Party, Nos. 20-542 and 20-574 in the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court also denied review in the similar case Donald J. Trump for President v. Degraffenreid and Trump v. Biden, and Nos. 20-845 and 20-882 in the Supreme Court of the United States. READ MORE

Eisenhower Warned Us About The Military-Industrial Complex, Now ‘President Of War’ Donald Trump Is Building One Beneath The White House Ballroom

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

From People’s House To Presidential Fortress As Trump Builds A Nuclear-Hardened Military Complex Beneath His Golden Ballroom

Donald Trump has spent years promoting himself as the great peacemaker, the man who would end wars and prevent World War III. Yet his most permanent architectural contribution to the American presidency is not a peace garden, a diplomatic center or a hall dedicated to reconciliation—it is a five-story military fortress buried beneath the White House. What began as a lavish ballroom with chandeliers, gold columns and thousand-seat state dinners is now being defended before the Supreme Court as an “integrated military complex” essential to surviving bombs, missiles, drones and even nuclear attack. The symbolism could not be more devastating: Trump talks like the president of peace, but he is rebuilding the People’s House for war. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction to continue while considering the administration’s emergency appeal.

“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17 (KJB)

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who understood war better than almost any president before or since, warned America in 1961 about the dangerous rise of the military-industrial complex. He cautioned that the combination of government power, military machinery and private industry could acquire “unwarranted influence” and endanger both liberty and democratic government. Sixty-five years later, Trump is constructing a literal military complex beside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Private corporations and wealthy elite donors finance the glittering ballroom above, while the government and military build the hardened command fortress below. Eisenhower’s warning is no longer merely hanging over Washington—it is being poured into the ground in nuclear-grade concrete.

The administration’s own Supreme Court filing removes all doubt about the true character of this structure. It describes five underground stories containing bomb shelters, military command-and-control capabilities, secure communications, emergency hospital facilities, missile-resistant columns, blast-proof glass, military-grade ventilation, sniper positions and a rooftop drone port. Above ground, visiting dignitaries will dine beneath crystal chandeliers; below their feet, military personnel will monitor tactical screens behind blast doors. The ballroom is the façade, but the bunker is the beating heart of his project.

This is the presidency Trump is physically preparing for: permanent threats, expanding militarization and catastrophic warfare. A true president of peace would be measured by the wars he ended and the bloodshed he prevented—not by the magnificence of the bunker he constructed for himself and future rulers. Trump may continue to speak the language of peace, but concrete tells the truth. Missiles, drones, bomb shelters, sniper nests and nuclear protection are not the architecture of a coming golden age. They are the architecture of a government expecting the world to burn. Donald Trump calls himself the president of peace, but his Military-Industrial Complex Ballroom reveals a president preparing for war.

THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST JERUSALEM: Could The Actions Of Israel’s Own Leaders Be Helping Fulfill The End Times Conditions Foretold By The Prophets?

Isaiah’s warning is not merely some distant prophetic curiosity — we are watching the pattern unfold right now. The prophet Isaiah speaks of “scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem”, and today Israel is being led by men whose rhetoric, policies and public displays are helping turn the nations against the Jewish state. Ben-Gvir standing before newly constructed gallows, boasting about executions and viewing booths, is not simply another controversial political moment; it is exactly the kind of spectacle that hardens global opinion, isolates Jerusalem and gives Israel’s enemies fresh ammunition. The world is already increasingly hostile toward Israel, and instead of slowing that momentum, some of Israel’s own rulers are actively pouring gasoline on the fire. The “scornful men” are ruling Jerusalem, and they are helping create the very conditions the prophets said would exist in the last days.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Zechariah said Jerusalem would become “a burdensome stone for all people” and that eventually “all the people of the earth” would be gathered against it (Zechariah 12:3 KJB). That prophecy does not require Israel to be innocent of every wrong action; in fact, Scripture repeatedly shows Israel in rebellion and under corrupt leadership immediately before divine intervention. What we are witnessing now is the process taking shape: outrage, condemnation, diplomatic isolation, growing hostility, and leaders in Jerusalem whose own actions are accelerating the collapse of international sympathy. Ben-Gvir’s gallows are not happening in a vacuum — they are part of a larger prophetic trajectory in which Jerusalem becomes increasingly unbearable to the nations. The road to Zechariah 12 is being built in real time, and astonishingly, some of the men ruling Jerusalem are helping pave it themselves. Today we do a Bible Study ripped from the headlines to show you just how close the Jews and Israel are to the time of Jacob’s trouble!

Israel Is Building A Gallows Execution Complex For Convicted Palestinian Terrorists, And Security Minister Ben-Gvir Wants To Add Viewing Booths For Spectators

Israel Has Every Right To Punish Terrorists, But Ben-Gvir’s Gallows Execution Complex With Viewing Booths Turns Justice Into A Macabre Spectacle Of Death

Now The End Begins has stood unapologetically with the Jewish people and the nation of Israel for nearly two decades, and that will not change. But biblical support for Israel does not require giving Israeli politicians a blank check, and Itamar Ben-Gvir’s plans for an execution complex containing gallows with viewing booths cross a disturbing line between the solemn administration of justice and the creation of a spectacle surrounding death. This will undoubtedly turn the entire world against the Jews and Israel.

Something very dark and deeply unsettling is taking shape in Israel, and those of us who genuinely love the Jewish people should be willing to say so without hesitation. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has been publicly promoting the construction of an execution facility for terrorists sentenced to death under Israel’s new death-penalty legislation. The proposed complex is not merely being discussed as a secure place where lawful executions would occur behind prison walls; reports surrounding the project describe gallows for hanging condemned prisoners along with designated viewing areas where surviving victims of terrorist attacks and members of bereaved families could witness those executions.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

That distinction is what makes this story so disturbing. There is an enormous difference between a government deciding, after due process and conviction for murder, that a criminal deserves the death penalty, and a government intentionally designing facilities so grieving relatives can sit and watch the condemned man drop through a gallows. The first is the administration of judgment by civil authority. The second begins to transform judgment into something theatrical, emotional and dangerously close to ritualized vengeance. You will also note that this same application of justice is not applied to Israelis convicted of them same type of crimes. It is only for the Palestinians.

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

Now let me make something perfectly clear at the outset, because the Bible is perfectly clear about it: capital punishment is not inherently immoral. Long before the Law of Moses was given to Israel, God established the principle of human government after the Flood and connected the shedding of a murderer’s blood directly to the fact that human beings are created in the image of God.

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:6 (KJB)

Under Paul’s doctrine for the Church Age, the God-given authority of civil government to punish evildoers remains equally plain. Paul did not describe government as carrying an ornamental sword or an empty symbol of authority. He said the ruler “beareth not the sword in vain,” and identified the magistrate as a minister of God authorized to execute wrath upon the person who does evil.

“For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.” Romans 13:4 (KJB)

There is therefore nothing unbiblical about saying that a murderer deserves death, and there is nothing unbiblical about Israel severely punishing terrorists who intentionally slaughter innocent people. After the barbarity of October 7, 2023, no reasonable person should have difficulty understanding the fury felt by Israelis who buried husbands, wives, children, parents and friends because terrorists deliberately invaded their communities to murder, rape, kidnap and terrorize. Israel has every right to protect its citizens, pursue terrorists and administer punishment against men convicted of intentionally murdering innocent people. Justice matters because human life matters. Punishment matters because God has ordained civil authority to restrain evil in a fallen world. But biblical justice and the enjoyment of vengeance are not the same thing, and that is precisely where the proposed viewing booths raise a very serious moral question.

Justice Should Be Solemn, Not Theatrical

A government execution should be one of the most sober, and somber, things a state ever does. Even when the condemned person has committed atrocities beyond description, the execution represents the government exercising the ultimate earthly penalty against a human being whose life is about to end. It should therefore be approached with gravity, restraint and solemnity rather than with celebration, political showmanship or anything resembling entertainment.

That is why the idea of specially designed viewing booths is so troubling. Supporters can argue that allowing victims and bereaved relatives to witness an execution may provide some sense of closure, and similar arrangements exist in certain jurisdictions elsewhere in the world. But the deliberate incorporation and public promotion of victim viewing areas alongside gallows gives the entire project a character that goes beyond simply carrying out a lawful sentence. It begins to create an environment in which the death of the condemned becomes part of an emotional experience being offered to those who have suffered because of him.

The Bible warns directly about what happens in the human heart when an enemy falls.

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Proverbs 24:17,18 (KJB)

There is the biblical balance that modern politics so often loses. God judges wickedness, God authorizes government to punish evildoers, and God has never commanded His people to pretend that evil deserves no consequences. At the same time, God warns against allowing the heart to delight in the downfall of an enemy. Justice may demand that a murderer die, but righteousness does not require anyone to enjoy watching him die. That is where this entire project begins to feel macabre. The gallows themselves are severe but understandable within the framework of capital punishment. It is the decision to include viewing booths, and especially to highlight them publicly as part of the political presentation of the facility, that gives the impression that something more than justice is being cultivated.

Supporting Israel Does Not Mean Worshipping The Israeli Government

Christians desperately need to understand that biblical support for Israel does not mean unquestioning support for every decision made by the modern Israeli government. At Now The End Begins, we are unapologetically pro-Israel because the King James Bible is unapologetically pro-Israel. God gave the land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Jewish people remain the earthly people God chose for His purposes. The Church has not replaced Israel, Jerusalem has not lost its prophetic significance, and the promises God made to the Jewish people have not somehow been transferred to Rome, London, Washington or the professing Christian Church.

But none of those biblical truths mean every Israeli politician is righteous, every Israeli policy is biblical, or every action of the Israeli government deserves Christian applause. Benjamin Netanyahu is not King David, Itamar Ben-Gvir is not Moses, and the modern Knesset is not governing the nation under the direct Old Testament theocracy of Jehovah God. Modern Israel is a secular Jewish state prophetically regathered in unbelief, standing precisely where Bible prophecy said the Jewish people would once again stand as we move deeper into the closing moments of the Church Age.

That means Bible believers should be capable of holding two truths at the same time. We can defend Israel against antisemitism, stand against the satanic hatred of the Jewish people, reject the lie of Replacement Theology, recognize Israel’s right to defend itself against Islamic terrorism and still condemn something done by the Israeli government when it crosses a moral line. In fact, genuine friendship sometimes requires precisely that kind of honesty. When Israel does right, we should support her. When Israel is falsely accused, we should defend her. When the world once again begins resurrecting its ancient hatred of the Jews, we should expose and oppose it. But when an Israeli politician proudly points to an execution complex containing gallows and talks about places where grieving people can watch their enemies hang, Bible believers should retain enough spiritual discernment to call that image what it is.

Terrorism Is Evil, But So Is Learning To Enjoy Death

This is one of the most dangerous ways evil spreads. Terrorists commit atrocities so horrifying that they provoke entirely understandable rage among their victims. That rage creates a demand for justice, but if the heart is not guarded, the desire for justice can slowly become the desire for vengeance, and the desire for vengeance can eventually become satisfaction in watching another person suffer. Hamas committed unspeakable atrocities against the Jewish people. Nothing said here diminishes that reality by even one degree. October 7 was evil, Hamas terrorism is evil, kidnapping civilians is evil, murdering children is evil, and intentionally slaughtering innocent people deserves severe punishment. Calling a viewing gallery at a gallows disturbing does not magically transform terrorists into victims or erase the crimes for which they have been convicted.

The question is not whether terrorists deserve punishment. The question is what happens to a society when punishment itself becomes something people are encouraged to watch as entertainment.

There is a deep moral difference between executing a murderer because justice demands it and designing the execution environment so those harmed by him can watch his body fall from a rope. One is an action undertaken by the state because law has pronounced judgment. The other risks turning vengeance into an experience. The Bible draws the distinction with remarkable clarity. Romans 12 commands the individual not to avenge himself, while Romans 13 immediately establishes the authority of government to punish wrongdoing. Those two chapters are not contradictory; together they establish the proper boundary between personal vengeance and civil justice.

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19 (KJB)

The individual is told to leave vengeance with God, while the government is authorized to punish the evildoer. Government administers justice; individuals surrender vengeance to God. When a government begins constructing special viewing areas so victims can personally watch the execution of their enemies, those two categories begin moving dangerously close together. Perhaps some families believe witnessing an execution will give them closure. Perhaps some genuinely feel that watching the murderer die will finally provide peace after years of grief. I would never minimize the horror endured by families whose loved ones were butchered by terrorists. But closure does not ultimately come from a rope, and peace does not ultimately come from watching another human being stop breathing.

Israel Needs Justice, Not A Gallows Spectacle

Israel lives in a brutal neighborhood and faces enemies who openly desire her destruction. Terrorist organizations surrounding the Jewish state have repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to murder Jewish men, women and children without mercy, and Israel therefore possesses both the right and the responsibility to defend its citizens. If duly constituted courts determine that terrorists convicted of intentional murder deserve death, there is nothing in the King James Bible requiring Christians to pretend that capital punishment itself is some great moral outrage.

But death should never become entertainment, execution should never become political theater, and the final punishment of a criminal should never be packaged as a spectacle from which people are invited to derive emotional satisfaction. The moment government begins promoting the opportunity to watch an enemy die, something has changed in the moral atmosphere surrounding justice. The imagery itself ought to trouble anyone capable of stepping outside the passions of the moment: a gallows, a hanging rope, viewing booths, spectators and politicians celebrating the construction of the facility. Whatever legal arguments may be advanced for each individual component, when assembled together they create an unmistakably grim picture.

Israel deserves justice against those who murder her people. Israel deserves security from terrorists who dream of wiping the Jewish state from the map. Israel deserves Christian friends who will stand beside the Jewish people when this lost and increasingly antisemitic world turns against them. But Israel does not need Christians who confuse biblical Zionism with unconditional approval of every politician in Jerusalem. Sometimes friendship means saying that something has gone too far. That is the line Israel must be exceedingly careful not to cross, and those of us who love Israel enough to defend her when the world lies about her should also love Israel enough to tell the truth when something is wrong. This is wrong, and we are saying something about it.
