Ghanaian self-proclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, widely known as Ebo Noah, was arrested by the Ghana Police Service.

Ebo Noah gained viral attention for predicting a global flood starting Dec 25 and building “arks” to shelter believers — a prophecy that did not occur.

Jewish American Political Scientist Norman Finkelstein:

The genocide in Gaza is not state project. It's a national project in which all of Israeli Jewish society participates.

A state project can be overturned in an election. A national project can't. This is real face of Israel.

Dozens of people are presumed dead and about 100 injured after a fire tore through a packed bar, Le Constellation, in Crans-Montana early on Thursday.

The blaze broke out around 1:30am during New Year celebrations. Authorities say an attack has been ruled out, though the cause is still under investigation.

Russian guided bomb strike on Ukraine's Kharkiv Ecopark injured lions, killed birds, and destroyed winter shelters for predators and birds, said the park’s owner Feldman.

Iranian President Pezeshkian:

Last night, where I was staying, I showed the Governor, the manager, and the financial deputy that one room had 14 lights on—when one would have been enough.

The heating was so excessive that we had the window open, wasting heat.

“Eat and drink, but do not be wasteful; for Allah does not love the wasteful.”

Iranian President Pezeshkian:

According to the Qur’an, if we fail to solve the people’s problems, we will end up in hell.

Iranian President Pezeshkian:

If people are dissatisfied, we are to blame—not America or anyone else.

It is our responsibility to manage resources properly, improve efficiency and productivity, and solve the people’s problems.

Our failures are the result of poor management.

Iranian President Pezeshkian:

The challenges we face are a test—for our managers, for us as Muslims, and as Iranians—to awaken and chart a new course for our country.

God willing, Iran will have a bright future if we replace hopelessness with determination and commit to building together.

Nigeria: Security forces launched a dawn offensive, foiling a planned attack on communities in Plateau State and neutralizing multiple bandits, with weapons seized.

Netanyahu:

Even in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, when we controlled Bethlehem 30 years ago, more than 80% of the population was Christian.

We gave it to the Palestinian Authority, and guess what happened? The Christian population plummeted and it’s now less than 20%.

The commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps Denis Kapustin is alive, Ukraine’s intelligence says.

Kyrylo Budanov congratulated the RDK commander and the intelligence team that tricked Russian security services into paying $500,000 for his supposed “elimination.”

Netanyahu:

They (Christians) all leave. They left in Lebanon. They're leaving other parts — they're leaving Syria. They were kicked out of Türkiye, many of them.

Netanyahu:

If Iran had nuclear bombs to put on ballistic missiles that would ultimately reach the United States, that would have endangered every person in the United States.

Netanyahu:

Somaliland has six million citizens, moderate Muslims. They want to join the Abraham Accords. And I think that’s very good.

Why not support a democratic, moderate Muslim country that wants to join the Abraham Accords? I think everybody should do that.

Patriarch John X to Netanyahu:

I emphasize, dear beloved ones, that we as Christians in these lands are not seekers of protection, but partners in the homeland and in citizenship—protecting these lands, our lands, and building them.

In 2003, Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after an 18-year-old spa worker reported that Epstein pressured her for sex during a house-call appointment arranged by the club.

Mar-a-Lago had routinely sent young female spa employees to Epstein’s nearby home, even though staff warned each other about his sexually inappropriate behavior.

After the complaint, a manager alerted Trump, who ordered Epstein removed. The incident was not reported to police at the time.
