NEW YEAR\u2019S DAY brought unexpected excitement to Miami: Dozens of police officers responded to a call of teens fighting and setting off fireworks at a mall. The incident has gone viral as a video on social media claims to show a 7-to-10 foot tall \u201calien\u201d skulking near the police cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with anything spectacular that draws public attention, like the publication of a certain list this week (which contained nothing we didn\u2019t already know), we look at the other hand to see what we\u2019re not supposed to notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be the situation at the US-Mexico border, where Customs and Border Protection processed\u2014meaning \u201creleased into the country, probably with cash, a phone, and a notice to appear for an asylum hearing in three years\u201d\u2014more than 300,000 illegal migrants during the month of December, a new record. There are now more illegals entering the United States than new babies born to US citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distraction may also be to draw our attention away from the global economy, which is about to take a hit from Yemen effectively cutting off access to the Suez Canal. Operation Prosperity Guardian, the American mission to protect cargo ships in the Red Sea, has failed, and about 10\u201312% of global trade is now being routed around the southern tip of Africa, adding cost and two to three weeks to shipping time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also discuss a growing movement in Iran to reject Islam as \u201can Arab religion.\u201d This is a nationalist movement that wants to bring back Zoroastrianism, the worship of Ahura Mazda, but it is also opening the door to the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
