Trump Admin Locates 148,000 Unaccounted-For Illegal Immigrant Children
|
|
|
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin says that the Trump administration has located 148,000 unaccounted-for children who came into the United States illegally.
“We are taking historic action to protect one of the most vulnerable victims of the Biden Administration’s open border crisis—migrant children,” Mullin wrote on Monday. “We have already located over 148,000 of these children, and we will not stop fighting until every last one is rescued.”
Mullin linked to a post made by President Donald Trump earlier this week showing a graph citing DHS figures that indicated around 12,000 missing children were located between February and July. (Metro Voice News) Read More Here |
|

Father God, we are so grateful for the 148,000 children that were located and pray they are now in safe homes. We ask for Your protection upon them physically, spiritually and mentally. While we celebrate this miraculous rescue, we also pray You would reveal the locations of innocent children still missing due to thousands coming through our opened borders. Bless President Trump and Department of Homeland Security, giving them keen wisdom and insight as they continue their search for many vulnerable children. Heal each child as only You can and restore to them the years the locusts have eaten! In the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, we pray- Amen and Amen.
"He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light." (Job 12:22)

Colombia earthquake: At least 224 dead, people trapped in collapsed buildings, officials say
|
|
Along with the 224 dead, at least 572 others have been injured, officials said.
Alejandro Eder, the Mayor of Cali, said in a social media post on Tuesday morning that of the people killed in the earthquake, 95 perished in Cali, the second-largest city in Colombia with more than 2.2 million residents.
Eder said at least 86 people have been rescued in Cali so far. Preliminary reports indicate that at least 239 people are believed to be trapped in rubble and 949 people injured in the city, according to Eder. Additionally, 93 structures have been damaged and another 45 have partially or wholly collapsed, he said.
"Today more than ever, we need to be united and help each other," Eder said in the post.
The U.S. State Department said in a post on X that the Trump administration is committing $15.5 million for the Colombia earthquake response that will go towards emergency shelter, food, protection and earthquake assessments.

Mighty God, we pray for escapes from death for many people, so that they might praise You and tell of your visitations. We ask for Your lovingkindness to meet and hold those who are suffering such tragic loss and trauma. We also pray that You show Yourself strong on behalf of those who do not know You so that many may find You and be saved in the midst of this horrific tragedy, in Jesus's holy name.
"Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord–how long? Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!" (Psalm 6:2-4)

Pentagon races to buy 10X more missiles as Iran war dwindles arsenal, threatens readiness for China aggression
|
|
The Pentagon is preparing a dramatic course correction after years of purchasing key missile-defense interceptors in relatively modest numbers — even as China built up the world's largest arsenal of conventional ballistic and cruise missiles and the U.S. increasingly focused on the threat of a conflict in the Indo-Pacific.
Following a string of missile-heavy conflicts, U.S. air defenses have been used repeatedly to protect Israel, American forces in the Middle East and Navy ships in the Red Sea, drawing down some of the Pentagon's most sophisticated and difficult-to-replace munitions.
The Army's fiscal 2027 budget, reviewed by Fox News Digital, calls for a massive increase in purchases of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors, part of a broader effort to rapidly expand a munitions industrial base that cannot be scaled overnight.
The shift is particularly striking when compared with what the military was buying only a few years ago. (Fox News) Read more here

|
|
Father, there is much conversation about our nation's munitions supplies which we must keep covered in prayer. We know that a great deal of weaponry has been distributed to conflict sites, such as Ukraine, Israel and the Iranian conflict, so we ask that our manufacturers are able to step up production to meet the current demand, in Jesus' name. We pray also for full provision of resources for our military, including items such as drones and cyber-warfare. This is also a great opportunity for many people to find gainful employment in the industry, so may there be many people eager to work, in Jesus' name.
"'And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?'" (Luke 18:7-8)

Trump Secures Release of Former US Marine Robert Gilman Imprisoned in Russia During Biden Administration
|
|
President Donald Trump announced the release of former United States Marine Robert Gilman, who was imprisoned in Russia during the Biden administration.
Gilman served in the U.S. Marines from 2019 to 2020. He was arrested in January 2022 in Voronezh, Russia, while traveling by train for allegedly assaulting a police officer while intoxicated. His family and advocates, however, have long maintained the charges were false or exaggerated, stating he had fallen ill and that the officer was uninjured and initially dropped the matter.
Gilman was originally sentenced to about 4.5 years, but he was charged with additional convictions while in custody for alleged assaults on prison staff and an investigator, which then extended his total sentence to as much as 10 years.
In 2026, his health deteriorated significantly, in 2026 and family and advocacy groups reported he entered a catatonic/dissociative state, required tube feeding, and was near death, with allegations of abuse and forced medication.

Father God, we pray for Robert Gilman and ask You first of all to heal him from every injury and trauma that he has endured from Russian imprisonment, in Jesus' name. We thank You for President Trump and the team working together to secure the release of this marine. We lift up to You his health, his family and ask You to be there for the remaining Americans imprisoned in Russia. We pray that every single one there and anywhere else in the world being held unjustly be released, in Jesus's holy name.
"being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;" (Philippians 1:6)

Dem Gov Maura Healey signs sweeping Massachusetts bill allowing abortions up to birth
|
|
|
Democratic Gov. Maura Healey was met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts' gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth.
Under the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, health care workers will have greater discretion in determining whether to perform an abortion later in pregnancy, without facing legal penalties under the state's previous restrictions.
Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses.
During the bill signing, Healey pledged to keep abortion safe, legal and accessible in Massachusetts for as long as she remains governor. (Fox News) Read more here

Oh Jesus, Jesus, we pray for the babies that they would live, in Jesus's name. We ask You to move in the hearts of the actual citizens of Massachusetts and compel them to resist this cruel, evil legislation and reach out boldly, in love, to help women choose life for their babies, no matter what, in Jesus' name. Father, there are other states also facing the same terrible legislation right now, because of outside money influencing and using deceptive language. We ask You for a massive groundswell in the body of Christ to overwhelm this determined effort from the pit of hell to murder our babies, in Jesus' name. We ask You to crush and defeat the legislation / bills / acts in every state, for Your glory.
"Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God." (Philippians 1:27-28)

2. Israel, Syria reach secret deal to remove nuclear material from hidden site
- World Israel News
The US has brokered a secret agreement to remove nuclear material from a clandestine Syrian facility after Israeli intelligence detected suspicious activity around the site, defusing a crisis that officials feared could trigger a new Israeli strike and potentially draw Turkey into the confrontation.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to remove the material from the facility, known as “Site 99,” under an agreement reached with the government of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa about three weeks ago, Axios reported Monday, citing US and Israeli officials.
The material has not yet been extracted.
Site 99 was reportedly used by the regime of former Syrian president Bashar Assad to store material associated with its covert Al-Kibar nuclear reactor project. (Read more)

3. 'Our hands are tied': Terrorists approach fence, IDF refuses to approve strike
- Israel National News
A recent operational incident in the Gaza Strip sector reflects the complex command situation facing troops in the field, particularly with the next stage of the 15-point plan coming into effect.
Channel 12 News reported that IDF surveillance teams detected unusual movement by terrorists, raising serious concerns about an attempt to cross the Yellow Line. Following the detection, the alert level was raised and troops were dispatched toward the fence, but no strike was carried out in response.
Soldiers involved in the incident said they requested authorization to strike in the area in order to prevent a surprise attack and maintain deterrence. The defense establishment, however, chose to keep the forces at a heightened state of defensive readiness only and opposed opening fire. (Read more)

5. Greece Sees Nationwide Pro-Palestinian Protests, Raising Fears for Israeli and Jewish Tourists - Algemeiner
Greece was placed on heightened alert Sunday as pro-Palestinian activist networks staged dozens of demonstrations nationwide, raising fears of possible attacks or confrontations targeting Jewish and Israeli visitors during the peak summer tourist season.
A coalition of pro-Palestinian organizations had called for a nationwide “day of rage” over the war in Gaza, organizing demonstrations in dozens of locations across Greece, including Athens, Thessaloniki, the Greek islands and other popular destinations frequented by Israeli tourists.
Ahead of the planned protests, the Israeli Foreign Ministry urged Jews and Israelis in the country to exercise heightened caution, avoid protest areas and refrain from publicly displaying signs of their Israeli or Jewish identity. (Read more)

1. City council in Texas ignores Iranian citizen's warnings, approves 5-acre Islamic facility - Just The News
The city of McKinney, Texas, recently approved the construction of a new five-acre mosque, despite outcry by residents, including one Iranian-American citizen.
Eddie Isa, a self-proclaimed “Sharia law survivor," spoke to McKinney’s city council last week asking members not to allow the construction of the facility, which will include a sanctuary, classroom building and gymnasium.
“I’m here to tell you this is a dangerous ideology you’re allowing in your country,” he said. “Every country that is an Islamic country now used to be a Christian country,” he continued. “We were soft Christians and allowed them to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries, and slowly kill us off left and right.” Read more

|
|
Mighty Savior, we pray for the people of McKinney, TX to be able to see this islamic overreach into their community be stopped and removed, in Jesus' name. We know this is a spiritual battle as much as a natural one, so Holy One, we pray for the citizens of that entire county to rise up as the spiritual gatekeepers of their region and do battle in the Holy Spirit against the powers of darkness. We declare that the spiritual atmosphere will be filled with the glory of Elohim causing the islamic people to retreat or receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This matter is spreading across our nation, just as abortion came in like a flood, so we pray for Your divine wisdom to guide the footsteps, words and declarations of Your sons and daughters to stop this infiltration in its tracks and release righteousness, truth and victory, in the name of Jesus.
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.'" (2 Corinthians 6:14-16)

2. Trump Executive Order Decreases Number of Childhood Vaccine Recommendations, Giving Parents Choices - Breitbart
An executive order to decrease the number of immunizations recommended for children by federal agencies to “maximize parental choice over childhood vaccines” was signed Monday by President Donald Trump, who drew a link between vaccines and the increase in autism diagnoses.
With Trump’s latest order, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) immunization schedule will recommend that children receive vaccines to protect against 11 diseases — down from the 18 diseases recommended by the agency in 2024. From now on, the CDC will recognize the “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations,” which were put in place with recommendations from health professionals.
The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine will now also be given out in three separate vaccinations at three separate doctor’s visits, as opposed to all at once.
“Together there could be a possibility that they are quite lethal, and separately, it looks like they are not at all lethal, just very effective,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of splitting up the MMR shots.
“This updated recommendation vitally aligns the United States with other advanced and developed nations around the world; more importantly, it aligns us with common sense and knowledge,” the president explained, before addressing the theory that today’s higher rates of autism may be connected to certain childhood vaccines.

|

Praise God that parents now have the freedom to make health/vaccination decisions on behalf of their children and their faith. We pray even now for the rates of autism to be plummeting as the massive injection rate has been decreased. Holy One, we ask You to minister to the families that have been tragically impacted by illnesses likely brought about from the chemicals injected into their children. We bless President Trump, RFK, Jr., and all the team that have worked together to bring about this common sense decision regarding children's vaccinations, in Jesus' name.
"And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?' Jesus answered, 'Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.'" (John 9:2-5)

3. President Trump Reacts to Bombshell Fauci Texts That Reveal Miscarriage Risk Linked to Covid Vaccine (VIDEO) - The Gateway Pundit
President Trump on Monday afternoon reacted to the bombshell Fauci text messages released by Senator Ron Johnson. Earlier Monday, Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul released the first batch of text messages from Dr. Fauci’s Covid-era iPhone.
The text messages revealed that Fauci privately knew that the Covid vaccine caused miscarriages in pregnant women. Fauci covered up the data that revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester.
The Gateway Pundit reported in 2022 that VAERS showed a 4070% increase in miscarriages and stillbirths since the mRNA rollout.
The first batch of texts was between Dr. Fauci, former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Biden’s Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy. Fauci said a second dose of the mRNA Covid vaccine “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” Read more

Heavenly Father, this nightmare of covid and the injections that were not vaccines, brought tremendous harm and tragedy into our world. It also resulted in some people getting incredibly rich from the proceeds of this cruel agenda. We pray for the people who lost their babies and ask that You heal them and that families are recovering, in Jesus' name. We pray again for safeguards to protect this nation and the world from the insanity of mad scientists who decide their way is the only way, in Jesus' name. We commit Anthony Fauci and his teams into Your hands of justice and righteousness Mighty King and we pray for Your forgiveness to fill our hearts as we forgive him, in the holy name of Jesus.
"When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. 'Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.'" (Isaiah 1:15-17)

4. Report: Establishment Democrats Pressure Alani Bankhead’s Family to Push Her Out of Montana Senate Race - Breitbart
Establishment Democrats have reportedly been pressuring the family of Alani Bankhead in order to push her into dropping out of the Montana Senate race so independent Seth Bodnar can step in.
“Independent Montana Senate candidate Seth Bodnar could withdraw from the state’s U.S. Senate race before the Aug. 10 filing deadline if Democrat nominee Alani Bankhead remains on the ballot,” said the report.
“Bankhead won the state primary, but both voters and some prominent Democrats are pressuring her to drop out of the race to make room for a prominent independent candidate, Seth Bodnar, who has already raised more money than her and Republican Kurt Alme combined,” reported NPR.
On Sunday, Matthew Foldi of the Washington Reporter posted on X that he came into possession of several leaked documents “from a dark money group showing how Democrats have an organized harassment campaign targeting” Bankhead’s family to secure her withdrawal from the race. Read more

Holy King, we call for a halt to the manipulation of elections in this nation and in Montana, in Jesus' name. We declare that no one has the right to coerce candidates to stay in or drop out of a race, in Jesus' name. We pray for this matter to be brought under Your authority and may all votes cast be honestly counted and recorded, without interference by those who would seek to control the election outcomes, in the mighty name of Jesus.
"'Thus says the Lord God: "Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people," says the Lord God. "You shall have honest scales, an honest ephah, and an honest bath."'" (Ezekiel 45:9-10)

5. Former DSA Member Says the Organization Does Not Tolerate Internal Dissent, is More Radical Than People Realize (VIDEO) - The Gateway Pundit
A former DSA organizer named Jake Altman was recently interviewed by the Free Press and described what life is like for members of the radical leftist movement.
According to Altman, the DSA does not tolerate dissent among the ranks and works to get rid of its critics. Everyone has to be with the program to be in good standing.
He describes internal pressure against dissenters, increasing openness to communism, and a demographic shift toward younger and more affluent, less experienced, and more radical members during an interview with The Free Press.
“When I joined in 2013, it was much more social democratic. It was very old, very white. In 2015 in Boston, it was a few older men and I who were the core of the old DSA chapter,” Altman explained. “It is night and day between DSA in even 2015 and now. It went from this, like you say, pretty moderate social-political group to a cultural juggernaut that it is today.” Read more

|
|
King of Kings, we pray for the acceleration of the communist movement of the DSA to collapse, in Jesus' name. We pray that the opposition to their platform swells amongst the voters on the democrat side and many disaffected members who've been squeezed out have the courage and wisdom to speak out for the Constitution and the goodness of this nation, in Jesus's name. Holy One, we declare that the United States is under Your authority and righteousness will prevail against the threats of tyranny, in Jesus's name.
"'Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!' The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him." (Lamentations 3:22-25)

6. Antifa inmates’ support group joins Hamas financier’s daughter to argue they’re not terrorists - Washington Examiner
A support group for convicts in an antifa terrorist attack joined a Sunday panel in Texas with a convicted Hamas funder’s daughter to denounce both prosecutions.
The DFW Support Committee is speaking out after more than a dozen federal defendants were sentenced since June over an anti-deportation riot despite the committee protesting, fundraising for legal defense, and claiming their innocence. The group sought to prove its point again Sunday by partnering with Nida Abu Baker, whose father was sentenced in 2009 for coleading a Texas charity that bankrolled terrorists.
"We gathered in Dallas to develop an organized strategy against political repression and refuse to be silenced,” said the hosting group Dare to Struggle Dallas-Fort Worth in a Thursday Instagram post. Speakers also discussed the Department of Justice’s supposed persecution of Aafia Siddiqui, a suspected al Qaeda operative who tried to kill Americans in Afghanistan and was sentenced in 2010. The event’s description and choice of speakers showed overlapping anti-government narratives used to garner sympathy for leftist and Islamic extremists alike." Read more

Father, we call for the financing of these terrorist organizations, groups and alliances to cease and desist in the name of Jesus. We pray for all those who have committed crimes to be prosecuted and receive the just consequences in prison or deportation. We pray for their pitiful proclamations to come to nothing but babble and confusion, in Jesus' name, so that they are all crushed under Your feet.
"'On that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, "flowing with milk and honey," the glory of all lands; Then I said to them, "Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God."'" (Ezekiel 20:6-7)

Fauci's Fifth(s)
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, August 11, 2026
COVID-era Czar Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee July 29. Fauci refused to answer questions concerning COVID origins, gain-of-function research, government funding, vaccine policy and his pandemic diary. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says the committee will consider holding Fauci in contempt. The legal right to remain silent belongs to every American, including Fauci. But after years of Americans being told to trust Fauci, follow the science and comply with sweeping government mandates, a path of unanswered questions poses yet another question: What doesn’t he want Americans to know?
Fauci’s pandemic diary provides some clues. In 2022, Fauci publicly said he had nothing to do with closing schools, yet his March 15, 2020 diary records discussions with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in which Fauci recommended closing schools, bars and restaurants. In January 2020, Fauci privately wrote that Wuhan’s wet market “was not the source” of the outbreak, while publicly discussing the possibility that the virus had jumped naturally from animals to humans, probably at a wet market. His diary also documents early discussions among scientists about how the virus could have resulted from laboratory manipulation, contrasting sharply with the certainty of the public narrative. Americans asking similar questions were often labeled conspiracy theorists, censored by social media or dismissed as spreading dangerous misinformation. Read More

Far-Left Democrats Lose to Far-Far-Left DSA Challengers
|
|
|
A fundamental error distorts news about the Democratic Socialists of America's takeover of the Democratic Party. Journalists claim that the DSA's radical contenders and their comrades are defeating "moderate" Democratic incumbents. Pundits are wondering how pro-Hamas Abdul El-Sayed deprived "centrist" Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senate nomination. While the largely triumphant DSA candidates are as left-wing as advertised, the "middle-roaders" whom they are ousting are no such thing. Far-left Democrat incumbents are losing to far-far-left DSA challengers.
Rank-and-file Democrats applaud these developments. A July 17-20 Fox News survey found that only 41% of registered Democrats have a favorable opinion of capitalism. However, 52% feel positive about socialism. Fully 59% cheer the DSA.
Democratic Reps. Tom Suozzi of New York and Adam Gray of California launched Promise to America to hobble the hard Left. “We are capitalist, not socialist,” their pledge reads. “We want safety, not lawlessness …We are proud, not ashamed of America.” Since June 25, among 212 House Democrats, only 10 have signed this patriotic manifesto.
The DSA’s upstarts are suffocating today’s non-centrist Democrats. These incumbents have no right to complain. They planted the socialist seeds that grew into the communist weeds that now are asphyxiating them and the modern Democratic Party. (The Washington Stand) Read more here.

Are Flock Cameras Creating a Mass Surveillance System?
|
|
|
|
Think Of The Children! Flock Uses Emotional Blackmail To Sell Mass Surveillance
|
|
|
Flock Safety is touting emotional stories about automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) helping rescue children as concerns about the dangers of mass surveillance grow.
Rahul Sidhu, Flock’s chief strategy officer, posted a video on X Tuesday featuring moving clips of police rescuing missing children.
The video begins with 911 audio of a distraught woman telling the operator that her son had been kidnapped. It also includes clips that purport to show law enforcement rescuing a six-year-old nonverbal boy, finding a 14-month-old baby, and saving a two-year-old boy who asks, “Where’s my mom?”
“Every child in this video is home tonight because Flock gave officers the right information at the right second,” Sidhu wrote.
“That’s the mission. That’s the whole company. I wouldn’t trade that for anything,” he added.
But as Flock becomes one of the nation’s largest providers of ALPR systems, many Americans are beginning to question whether the constant monitoring of everyday citizens is legal and safe.
The National Crime Information Center stores the license plate numbers of registered sex offenders in its database, according to Mark Ralston, a West Virginia law enforcement administrator who spoke to The Dominion Post. That means Flock ALPRs could flag the 4,144 registered sex offenders Langley cited whenever they pass a camera — not only when police are actively trying to locate them.
Not everyone is convinced, though, that potentially greater security is worth the privacy tradeoff.
Two prominent Tennessee Republicans have raised additional concerns about the constitutionality of the cameras.
Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs described ALPRs as “inadvertently creating a warrantless mass surveillance system” in an X post last week.“While License Plate Readers have been around for a while, because of AI and vastly increased networking and data retention capacities, these Flock cameras have capabilities not even imagined in the past,” Jacobs wrote. He urged county officials to reject the cameras.
Republican Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has drafted a bill that would regulate the government’s use of surveillance technology. “We gotta keep our country safe. What we can’t sacrifice is the freedoms, of course, that define us,” Burchett said in a video posted on X last month. “It violates the Fourth Amendment.” (Daily Caller) Read more here.

Lord, we ask You to protect our constitutional rights, and we pray those rights would not be suspended in favor of mass surveillance. Give our leaders wisdom as they work to protect us and our constitutional liberties.

US Government Revokes More Than
175,000 Visas
|
|
|
|
The Department of State said on Aug. 10 that it has revoked 175,000 visas since the start of the Trump administration, targeting foreign nationals who had violated the terms of their visas, committed crimes, or called for violence against Americans.
The Trump administration has moved to tighten visa rules and impose higher fees, and last year announced it would revoke visas for people who commit crimes or other offenses.
“Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio’s leadership, the State Department will continue to identify, investigate, and revoke the visas of foreign nationals who threaten the safety of the American people,” the department said on Aug. 10.
The State Department added that it would continue to use “every tool available to protect our communities from those who abuse it.”
Some reasons for the revocation of the visas, according to the department, include the visa holders calling for violence against U.S. citizens, abusing the U.S. immigration system, endangering national security, or defrauding citizens.
“The majority of these visas were revoked due to law enforcement encounters for a range of criminal activity, with assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug crimes being the leading causes,” the State Department said in a statement.
Some saw their visas revoked because of fraud and embezzlement, sexual assault, child abuse, reckless driving, arranged illegal birth tourism schemes, and more, according to the department.
....
Others who saw their visas revoked included more than 100 people who were part of “birth tourist” parent schemes who came to the United States to give birth so that their children could obtain U.S. citizenship.
This has been challenged by the Trump administration all the way to the Supreme Court. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

Lord God, we do praise You for this aggressive action being taken by the U.S. State Department to ensure that only those who reside here are doing so legally. We ask that You would even increase the ability of our law enforcement personnel to find and to deport all who are living here illegally. Thank You, Holy One, for hearing and answering our prayer, amen and amen.
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (Mark 11:24)

Jesus Said Watch The Heavens--So What Should We Make Of August 12?
|
|
Something unusual is about to happen in the heavens.
Before sunrise on August 12, six planets will be spread across the morning sky. Later that same day, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and sun, producing a total solar eclipse across portions of the Northern Hemisphere. Then, as darkness falls, one of the year's most spectacular meteor showers will be reaching its peak.
It will be quite a day to look up.
NASA confirms that the August 12 total solar eclipse will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain and a small portion of Portugal. Parts of North America, Europe and Africa will experience a partial eclipse.
At roughly the same time, the Planetary Society says a six-planet "parade" will stretch across the predawn sky for several mornings. Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune will all be present, although Uranus and Neptune will require optical assistance to see.
And then there are the Perseids.
The American Meteor Society places the 2026 Perseid maximum around August 12-13, with virtually no moonlight to interfere with viewing. The Perseids are among the most anticipated meteor showers of the year, producing brilliant streaks of light across summer skies.
None of those things, by themselves, are supernatural.
Eclipses are predictable. Planetary movements are predictable. Meteor showers occur as Earth passes through debris left behind by comets.
But Christians should be careful about going from that scientific observation to another conclusion increasingly common in our secular age: that because something has a natural explanation, it therefore cannot have spiritual significance.
Jesus Told Us To Look Up
When Jesus described conditions surrounding the end of the age, He included a remarkable statement:
"There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars." -- Luke 21:25
That should at least get our attention. (Prophecy News Watch) Read More

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."
