When President Trump declared the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, he certainly expected to receive praise from officials and citizens in the Jewish state. What he may not have anticipated was having his name enshrined in the most controversial train station in the country, one that is being planned for the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City.
Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said Tuesday the station would be named after the U.S. President who accepted what Israelis have known for millennia. Like the city itself, the station will be contested by the international community for antagonizing Palestinians. When complete, it will give a direct connection between Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv to the Western Wall. With a top speed of around 100 mph, it will cut travel time between the airport and Israel’s most popular tourist attraction to 28 minutes.
“The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people,” Katz said. “I decided to name the train station leading to it after US President Donald Trump, following his brave and historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders applauded the name.

Planned Western Wall train station to be named for Trump — minister
Transportation Ministry spokesman Avner Ovadia said Wednesday the project is estimated to cost more than $700 million and, if approved, would take four years to complete.
Katz’s office said in a statement that the minister advanced the plan in a recent meeting with Israel Railways executives, and has fast-tracked it in the planning committees.
Katz said a high-speed rail station would allow visitors to reach “the beating heart of the Jewish people — the Western Wall and the Temple Mount.” He proposed naming the future station after Trump “for his brave and historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital” earlier this month.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!

It will take 4 years to complete ? Good – plenty of time to rename it after a true leader or a Biblical event / location.
In the short term, naming it after Trump massages Trumps’ ego and could well gain the Israelis more favorable actions by our Narcissist-in-Chief.
Before the Trump pom-poms start waving, it should be pointed out that Trump once again signed the waiver preventing the US from actually moving our embassy for another 6 months – by which time he may well be either impeached or declared mentally unfit to hold office (depending on the outcome of his upcoming physical).
