His Vine & Fig Tree Podcast—Ep. 155
On the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, remember the unspeakable crimes committed by Hamas against men, women, and children. Remember how they celebrated their savagery. There should be no doubting that Israel has been justified in their response on Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah. And no one should be surprised how the mass protests inside Iran against the Islamic regime became an extension of what occurred three years ago when 1,200 to 1,300 Israelis were murdered. Iran plotted the deaths of Jews on Oct. 7, 2023, their own citizens this year, and Americans the past 47 years.
The incident a couple of weekends ago at RAF Fairford grew far more serious this past week. British officials and the Americans believe the Iranians were plotting an Ukrainian-style spiderweb drone attack (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq69qnvj6nlo). The U.S. took the threat so seriously they pulled all bombers at RAF Fairfoird back to the U.S. homeland. That Ukraine attack on four Russian locations caused damage to 40 aircraft. It also caused governments worldwide to rethink assymetric drone attacks.
And speaking of Russia, the Russians are going out of their way to not say anything about the health crisis at a research facility in Siberia. A 28-year old technician died on Oct. 1 of Y Pestis There are 200 people receiving care to ensure there’s no health crisis. Yet, the Russians are acting an awful lot like the Chinese during covid.
With the midterm elections approaching, Democrats are pulling former President Barack Obama out of the woodwork in their final push for their leftist and communist candidates. Obama even has praise for the Democratic Socialists of America, which is no surpise given his 2008 confrontation with Joe “The Plumber” in Toledo, Ohio. Much of the polling for races is in the margin of error, and I wouldn’t spend any time trusting it. The midterm election is less than a month away.

Ep. 154 Why did the Army aerosolize Ebola virus?
His Vine & Fig Tree Podcast—Ep. 154
A flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv Wednesday produced more drama than anyone wanted. One of the pilots was stabbed multiple times. After the plane dove, passengers rushed the cockpit, subdued the culprit, and took over to complete an emergency landing in northwest Saudi Arabia. Israel scrambled fighter jets because they thought a terrorist event would need a resolution. The passengers were heroes.
RAF Fairford in England was on high alert because Irtan was threatening American interests. The U.S. has bombers that take use the base that was the source of serious concern beginning early Sunday. Attention has attracted at 12:45 a.m., and it intensified at 1:45 a.m. when a lady who’s a farmer ran into a blocked road, where she reportedly saw 8-10 Middle Eastern men who had coverings for their faces. The woman called the police and five men were arrested. But UK and American officials still thought terrorism was on the table, convincing the Brits they needed a high-level counter terrorism meeting. Then the five men were released. Some are suggesting it was either a dry run for terrorism or black market red-dye diesel. Read more about it here (https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/09/29/the-raf-fairford-follies-day-three-n3819426?utm_source=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=36fef744b2a93c1edfccf65f0077260f2643495e4e5e4beb27cb8d0a420f7556&lctg=20917443).
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ken., continues to release information from Dr. Anthony Fauci. The latest revelation focuses on the U.S. Army creating an aerosolized Ebola virus (https://justthenews.com/government/congress/fauci-alarmed-over-us-army-ebola-tests-funded-his-own-agency-diary-entries-and?utm_source=mux&utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=social-media-autopost). Fauci didn’t like what happened because it could get folks in Africa, where there was an Ebola outbreak, to question vaccinations. Bigger for Paul is the question: Does the U.S. military have a de facto bioweapons program? That information is being obstructed by U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton. R-Ark. and chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., conducted a hearing Monday on real stories from real people. The four-hour meeting (https://x.com/SenRonJohnson/status/2104614515392577579)produced countless tear-jerking horrific stories from the covid-19 era. And Lt. Col. Theresa Long (https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/military-covid-vaccine-inquiry-moves-into-federal-court-army-doctor-files-sworn-declaration-citing-deaths-55000-adverse-event-reports-155a5b7e), an Army flight surgeon, is being asked by Sec. of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and War Sec. Pete Hegseth to examine what role the covid vaccine has played, if at all, in 55,000 adverse reactions to the covid jabs and 2,544 deaths in the U.S. military. Perhaps those hard questions and that examination will get answers to the 800-pound gorilla in the room that has been ignored for more than five years.
Bonus: Heroine Mother (https://x.com/DesireeAmerica4/status/2104342027546628341) in N.C. and Albert Mohler (https://x.com/albertmohler/status/2105114161529114772) talking about liberal Christianity’s impact on this midterm election.

Ep. 153 The pope is illiterate on Old Testament
His Vine & Fig Tree Podcast—Ep. 153
This midterm election should easily be about the economy. To hear President Donald Trump tell it, all economic news is positive. But don’t tell that average Americans who are being suffocated by gas prices that are approaching a national average of $4.50 a gallon. Throw in diesel prices north of $6 a gallon and you have the James Carville phrase “it’s the economy, stupid” ringing like a bell. But we also have candidate quality issues in both parties. Democrats must also deal with the communists that are being welcomed in their party. It creates a motivation for folks right of center to “vote like it’s 1776.” Don’t take the bait of demoralizing folks on the right from voting.
Trump kicking three leftist news organizations from the White House was more about red meat to the base than doing the right thing. A judge was always going to rule they can cover the White House. You deal with media bias by bringing in more right-of-center organizations that will pursue the truth wherever it goes.
Iranians aren’t sitting still, despite their evil government not being thrown out of power yet. Reports surfaced of IRGC computers being hacked and learning that hundreds of thousands or Iranians were killed on Jan. 8 and 9. We also are getting our first footage (https://x.com/emilykschrader/status/2104163827868733707) of video from those two days. There are several and another one is here (https://x.com/emilykschrader/status/2104132595445547061).
Pope Leo XIV (https://x.com/WillRicci/status/2101708809299235036) has said God doesn’t hear the prayers of people who wage war. It’s curious what the pope does with what King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:8 where we learn there’s “a time for war and a time for peace.” Additionally, what does the Pope do with any of the Old Testament warriors ranging from Moses and Joshua to Gideon, David, and King Saul. Why is the first American pope so embarrassing?
