Cover-up: Top Israeli rabbi 'found Messiah'
He was, without doubt, the most venerated rabbi in Israel at the age of 108. Some 250,000 marched in his funeral procession after his death in 2007. And what was the name of the Messiah whom Kaduri met after years of praying and fasting? It was Yehoshua – the formal name for Yeshua, or Jesus in the Greek.

Rebuilding the Jewish Temple
The people of Israel are anxious to rebuild a new Temple, and many preparations have been made to that end already. Priests' vestments and vessels to be used in Temple services have been prepared, and priests are being trained. The main hindrance is the building site itself. The Temple Mount is home to several Islamic holy places: the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Whether the Temple can be constructed either next to, or in place of, these Islamic shrines awaits a determination of where the previous Jewish Temples stood.

Estimate doubled for vCJD carriers in UK
Twice as many Britons as previously thought could be carrying the human form of "mad cow" disease, variant CJD. Researchers believe one in 2,000 people in the UK is a carrier of the disease linked to eating contaminated beef.

Iran 'may allow' snap nuclear checks
Iran could allow unannounced visits to its nuclear sites as a "last step" in a proposal to resolve differences with the West, an Iranian official says.

Iran the main obstacle to peace with Palestinians, PM says
“Iran is a large empire,” Netanyahu explained to MKs assembled in the plenum for the Knesset’s 40-year commemoration of the Yom Kippur War. “Its offshoots are arrayed throughout the Middle East.

Lt. Gov. Dewhurst Says President Obama Should Be Impeached
“I think this President, Barack Obama, has disregarded federal law. He has tried to do things which are not authorized under federal law. Things he’s disregarded such as immigration.

My wife and I just got our updates from Kaiser telling us what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly has been $168 this year, mine $150. We have a high deductible.

Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife’s rate is gong to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.

Iran and the world powers resumed talks for the second day in Geneva on Wednesday and many questions remain regarding the content of the new Iranian proposal that was presented on Tuesday.

God's laws sing out in Nashville
The Ten Commandments made the news in Nashville last year when state lawmakers voted to allow displays of God’s laws on courthouse lawns and the like. But a new billboard is reminding Music City USA once again of those biblical standards for life. The newest billboard is located at Harding Place and Antioch Boulevard in Nashville.
