CHICAGO – While tens of thousands flooded downtown streets for the “No Kings” anti-Trump protests over the weekend, the Windy City’s south side drew a very different kind of crowd. Thousands attended a celebration at the home of the Chicago White Sox to honor the city’s newest hometown hero: Pope Leo XIV. Both inside and outside Rate Field, songs of praise and worship filled the air for a special mass featuring stories about the new pope – a man many in the city knew as Bob Prevost, a native Chicagoan and an avid White Sox fan.

Israel’s historic, ongoing airstrikes to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat are once again raising questions about end times prophecy. Pastors and prophetic experts have been weighing in once again on whether this could be a critical moment in the timeline before the return of Jesus Christ. Evangelist Greg Laurie is warning that believers should not take recent events lightly, but should commit themselves to prayer. “This is a very serious matter, and Bible students should be paying close attention. The regime in Iran has long supported terrorism around the world—especially against Israel,” he said. “They have been developing nuclear weapons…

LOS ANGELES – Protests over President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration are expected to escalate this weekend as the president scores a temporary legal victory in his ongoing battle with California.

Tensions in Los Angeles are soaring as protests escalate against the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. President Trump vowed to “liberate” the California city, sending in thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marines to restore order. But it’s not just happening in L.A. – anti-Trump protests are spreading to other major cities across the country. The courts are being asked to weigh in now.
