TD Jakes Embattled in More Legal Turmoil
Bishop T.D. Jakes has found himself embattled in another legal suit amid the discussions about the Sean “Diddy” Combs list, a terrifying health scare and a separate defamation suit.
Jakes had his attorney, Dustin Pusch, move to file a subpoena against Google, according to Yahoo Entertainment. The subpoena is meant to go after YouTube due to what Jakes says are AI-created lies against him on different YouTube channels.
The channels reportedly come out of Kenya, South Africa, Pakistan and the Philippines. According to Yahoo, these accounts supposedly made false voiceovers and thumbnails that produced indecent content connecting Jakes to Diddy.

Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over ‘Demonic’ Christmas Video
Kim Kardashian’s latest Christmas-themed video has ignited a storm of outrage, and for good reason. The video, which purportedly celebrates the holiday season, is anything but festive. Instead, it unfolds like a surreal fever dream, replete with bizarre imagery that is as irreverent as it is unsettling.
In the video, Kardashian appears to move in a possibly drug-induced haze, crawling from room to room in a house filled with odd characters—some standing idly by, others engaged in strange behaviors. But what has truly set people off is the video’s grotesque portrayal of Jesus and His mother, Mary.
Mary is depicted holding the reins of a donkey, while Jesus, crowned with thorns, appears in scenes laden with blasphemous undertones. The video’s inclusion of these figures in such a twisted context, capped off by grossly inappropriate sexual implications involving Santa Claus and a camcorder (played by Macaulay Culkin), is a direct affront to the Christian faith and acceptance of sexual immorality.

A Vision of Redemption: America’s ‘Superman Prophecy’
Joseph Z’s prophetic interpretation of the new “Superman” movie trailer offers a powerful message for America, linking the struggles of the iconic superhero to the nation’s current turmoil.
In the trailer, Superman, bloodied and beaten, lies in a snow-filled crater, calling out for help. “The Lord spoke to me when I saw this,” Z shares, explaining that the scene represents more than just a superhero’s battle—it’s a reflection of America’s own crisis. “You see the nation that has been under turmoil and duress, down, beaten, bloodied… and then calling out in this moment, rescue and help is on the way.”
Superman’s plight mirrors the state of the country, according to Z. The character, once a symbol of “truth, justice and the American way,” now represents a nation grappling with poor leadership, division and the weight of accusation.
