  • Want to know where current events are taking us? Trying to forecast the future has left a lot of analysts and prognosticators looking pretty silly. We look at some spectacular failures in geopolitical forecasting.
  • Political gridlock in Israel has been largely caused by the growing power of liberal lawyers in the judiciary. We look at how this came about and how it’s similar to the war in America between elected officials and the “deep state."
  • Libya’s long-lasting civil war looks to have turned in favor of the internationally recognized government, because it is receiving big help from key outside sources that could shape Libya’s future in a way that aligns with biblical prophecy.
  • I conclude the program with a word about how to handle adversity—and why it’s important sometimes to keep wrestling even when you’re in pain.
