"I’m not alone": Native young people inspired and equipped to lead for Christ 
Suicide rates are higher among American Indian and Alaskan Native people than among any other U.S. demographic. But there’s a counter-movement of hope rising with On Eagles’ Wings, a division of Hutchcraft Ministries.  This year, around 700 Native young people came to the Warrior Leadership Summit with On Eagles’ Wings. They came to this evangelism and discipleship conference to be equipped as leaders for Christ. “To have 700 Native young people praising Jesus together, seeking to be leaders in their communities, is a real miracle, something only God could do,” said Doug Hutchcraft with Hutchcraft Ministries. 
 
People who come to the leadership summit aren’t called campers but warriors. Hutchcraft said they hear a common response to the gathering: “‘I’m not alone. I realized I’m here seeing how many brothers and sisters I have in Christ that really love Jesus and want to do what I want to do.’” Following Christ hasn’t always been shared well with Native communities, Hutchcraft said. Yet today, more and more young people realize Jesus is about relationship, not religion.  “When they (Native young people) share with their people that Jesus was a brown-skinned man, from a tribe, [who] was persecuted, [who] had issues with the government, all those things, they say, ‘I’ve always heard that Jesus is a white man’s God. But you’re saying He is for everybody.’” It then opens the way for Native young people to share their own stories of how Jesus changed their lives. During the 2025 Warrior Leadership Summit, 43 people chose to be baptized. (Mission News Network) Read More Here  
- Abba Father, we REJOICE for the baptisms and surrendered hearts towards Jesus at the Warrior Leadership Summit! We pray for the souls of every Native young person who was present and heard the gospel. We decree and declare in the Name of Jesus, a mighty movement of God among the Native American and Alaskan Native people with Holy Spirit FIRE transforming these communities for Christ. May our new brothers and sisters be filled with uncommon boldness spreading the Good News to those around them. We celebrate, in advance, testimonies of miracles in reconciliation, healing and transformation that will spread throughout, causing a harvest of new salvations in Jesus Christ! In His mighty Name, we pray-Amen and Amen. 

- "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)

Trump admin to destroy $10 million worth of contraception, abortifacients intended for Africa

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. State Department under the Trump administration has indicated it intends to go through with the destruction of approximately $10 million worth of contraceptives whose distribution to Africa has been canceled by rule changes against taxpayer funding of abortion.

During a July 29 State Department press briefing, a reporter asked for an update about “millions of dollars’ worth of contraceptives stocked in Belgium that are due to be incinerated in France […] I know that the Belgian government is trying to find alternative solutions. Is the U.S. government ready to find alternative solutions or are they destined to be destroyed?”

“Well, I do – I want to have that taken back. This is a situation that changes each day,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce responded. “This is a situation regarding birth control and other mechanisms that could be used – first of all, that would violate our Mexico City policy regarding the use of abortifacients, but also the use of some elements that could be used in a kind of forced sterilization framework that some nations do apply, which also we will not facilitate.”

“I think this was a purchase from the previous administration, and so we’re dealing with that,” she added. Bruce’s comments indicated the planned disposal is still on track but did not conclusively rule out a pause or a different decision.

The Department of State later said that “a preliminary decision” was made to destroy certain “abortifacient” contraceptives, The Hill reports, and that the Kemp-Kasten amendment also bars the federal government from aiding any entity with a program of “coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization,” which affects “non-abortifacient contraceptives provided as assistance to entities that do not make the commitment required under the policy.”

Abortion, the destruction of an innocent unborn baby in his or her mother’s womb, is always gravely unjust and never necessary to protect a mother’s health.

Trump has also cut millions in pro-abortion subsidies by freezing U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) spending. (Read more here)

- Abba, we praise You for President Trump boldly standing for life-affirming policies and defunding the previous $335 million sent to the 'United Nations Population Fund'.  We celebrate lives that are being saved through supporting pro-life measures! We praise You for shining Your light upon heartbreaking manipulation tactics used towards women in India, forcing them to insert contraceptive implants into their bodies, in order to access food rations. We repent on bended knees, on behalf of our nation and past administrations, for funding these nefarious plans. We declare, Your holy realignment is coming back into America and blessings will fall once again upon our nation, as we fight by Your Spirit against all demonic ploys of the evil one! In the powerful Blood and mighty Name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen and Amen.
 
"But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."  (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

Trump admin ends Biden-era vaccine discrimination, orders purge of federal COVID jab records

In a move to further reverse the “many harmful policies of the Biden-Harris Administration,” the Trump administration on Friday ordered federal agencies to delete all records related to the COVID-19 vaccination status of government employees.

“Effective immediately, federal agencies may not use an individual’s COVID-19 vaccine status, history of noncompliance with prior COVID-19 vaccine mandates, or requests for exemptions from such mandates in any employment-related decisions, including but not limited to hiring, promotion, discipline, or termination,” wrote Scott Kupor, Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in a memo to the heads of all federal departments and agencies.  

“Things got out of hand during the pandemic, and federal workers were fired, punished, or sidelined for simply making a personal medical decision,” said Kupor in a statement.   

“That should never have happened,” said Kupor. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we’re making sure the excesses of that era do not have lingering effects on federal workers.”

Agencies have until September 8, 2025, to comply with the OPM directive. 

“Since returning to office, Trump has eliminated federal vaccine mandates, scrapped testing requirements for onsite work, and rescinded mask policies across all executive agencies,” explained The Washington Examiner’s Samantha-Jo Roth. “His administration has characterized these policies as ‘government overreach’ that infringed on personal freedoms and disrupted federal operations.” (LifeSite News) Read more here.

- Praise the Lord for a restoration of personal freedoms and the end of one element of government overreach into the lives of American citizens. We pray for more rescissions of overreach to be established as well, so that we can walk in freedom and strength, not fearing our government, but knowing how to resist potential tyranny, in Jesus' name. May there be a recompense for all who have been injured by these wrong-headed policies. For those who have lost loved ones, we pray for the comfort of God and a restitution for their families, in Jesus' name. 

- "The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the just. Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble. The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the legacy of fools." (Proverbs 3:33-35)

Trump vs Newsom showdown lands in court with family ties to the nation's highest bench  

The federal government argued before a California judge -- the brother of a retired Supreme Court justice -- that President Donald Trump acted within his legal authority by deploying the National Guard and Marines to quell immigration riots in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Judge Charles Breyer – sibling of President Bill Clinton-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer – heard testimony in the case brought by the Newsom administration over whether the federal government violated federal law in its use of the military on domestic soil and/or the 10th Amendment.

The case is expected to test the limits of a president’s power as commander in chief, as the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act — born out of Reconstruction — requires either an act of Congress or constitutional authorization to use the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement.

The penalty under that act is a prison term of two years and a fine, at most.

In the 1997 case of Printz v. U.S., Justice Antonin Scalia ruled in favor of two county sheriffs in declaring that the federal government has no authority to commandeer or compel local law enforcement to take special actions.

However, in Martin v. Mott, Madison-appointed Justice Joseph Story wrote in a 6-0 opinion that the president has sole authority to determine when emergency use of state militias (national guards) is appropriate.

In court, Breyer said his ultimate decision will have far-reaching consequences for how presidents, including Trump, can deploy assets in other cities, Politico reported – as the president used the District of Columbia’s unique 1970s charter to briefly take control of its police force this week. (Fox News) Read more here.
- Thank You Father for an honorable judge who looked to the law and not to law-handlers in order to decide on this matter for President Trump. We pray for more judges like him that are willing to do what is right, even if it is not in alignment with the popular position. We also thank You Father that these riots were quickly quelled with the National Guard showed up and took control. We pray for more of the rioters and marauding raiders to be brought under authority, arrested and receive the consequences of their actions, in Jesus' name.

- "Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, And the rocks are thrown down by Him. The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him." (Nahum 1:6-7)

D.C. Police Union Backs Trump's Move to Federalize City's Police 

The Washington, DC, Police Union is backing President Donald Trump’s call to take federal control of Washington, DC, due to rampant crime.

Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the union, released a statement Monday afternoon on the heels of Trump’s executive action to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department.

“We stand with the President in recognizing that Washington, DC, cannot continue on this trajectory. Crime is out of control, and our officers are stretched beyond their limits,” Pemberton said, according to a statement shared by WUSA’s Spencer Allen.

“The federal intervention is a critical stopgap, but the MPD needs proper staffing and support to thrive,” he added. ‘This can only happen by repealing the disastrous policies that have driven out our best officers and hindered recruitment.”

Trump announced his actions to crack down on crime in D.C. at a press conference Monday in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. 

“I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act — you know what that is — and placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you’ll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that,” Trump said to begin the presser.

“Very good people, but they’re tough, and they know what’s happening. They’ve done it before,” Trump said, adding he is deploying the National Guard to “help reestablish law order of public safety in Washington, DC,” so they can do their job “properly.”

Trump cited a number of instances in which public officials and employees have been victims of violent crime, including the recent assault of a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer, the stabbing of an aide to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), the 2023 gunpoint carjacking of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and the killing of former Trump administration official Mike Gill. (Breitbart) Read more here. 

- Thank You Father, for President Trump's courage to take action against lawlessness in the streets of our nation's capitol. We pray for wisdom, skill and protection for every person working to bring the city back under authority. May the bad actors be caught and receive appropriate consequences for the crimes committed, in Jesus' name. Most especially, we pray, Father, for justice for those who have been harmed or killed by the marauders. We call Washington, D.C. to be a city under the authority of Almighty God, in Jesus' name.

"Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who rejoice at my hurt; Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor Who exalt themselves against me. Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, 'Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.'" (Psalm 35:26-27)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. IDF expert review: No signs of famine in Gaza - JNS

An expert review initiated by the Israel Defense Forces has concluded that there are “no signs of a widespread malnutrition phenomenon among the population in Gaza,” the military announced on Tuesday morning.

While the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry reported over 130 deaths due to malnutrition in July, the IDF study could only verify “a handful” of confirmed cases, according to the statement.

Most deaths attributed to malnutrition were due to severe pre-existing medical conditions, with some patients even having received treatment in Israel prior to the war sparked by Hamas’s terror attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.

The army cited the case of Abdullah Hanu Muhammad Abu Zarqa, 4, who was claimed to have died of hunger, but suffered from a genetic disease causing deficiencies, osteoporosis and bone thinning. (Read more)

2. ‘Systematic torture and terror’: Health Ministry gives ICRC report on 12 freed hostages - Times of Israel

Blindfolded nighttime marches through tunnels. Worm-infested food. Months without showering or changing clothes.

A report shared Tuesday by the Health Ministry with the International Committee of the Red Cross and international health organizations describes the ordeals faced by 12 of the hostages who were abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023, and freed during a ceasefire earlier this year.

The Red Cross has not been able to provide any assistance to the hostages during their time in captivity.

Based on testimony and medical records, it details systematic methods of physical and psychological degradation, including ongoing sexual harassment and subhuman conditions. (Read more)

3. Israel said to be in talks with war-torn South Sudan about taking in Palestinians from Gaza - Times of Israel

Israel is in discussions with South Sudan about the possibility of resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the war-torn East African country, sources familiar with the matter say.

Six people familiar with the matter confirm the talks to The Associated Press.

It’s unclear how far the talks have advanced, but if implemented, the plans would amount to transferring people from one war-ravaged land at risk of famine to another, and raise human rights concerns. (Read more)

4. Eyal Zamir’s secret advisory forum revealed - Israel National News

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is reportedly receiving regular advice from a group of individuals no longer serving in the military, Kan 11 News reported Tuesday evening.

According to the report, the Chief of Staff’s unofficial advisory forum includes former Defense Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, Major General (res.) Israel Ziv, former IDF Spokesperson Avi Benayahu, Matan Dansker, and Liran Dan, who previously served as spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kan 11 further claimed that Zamir’s aide, Colonel Alon Laniado, maintains regular contact with journalists and briefs them - contrary to regulations granting only the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit authority to do so - and that these contacts have intensified amid the current crisis between Zamir and Defense Minister Israel Katz.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit rejected the report, stating that the information is incorrect and that Colonel Laniado does not maintain contact with reporters. (Read more)

5. Police Arrest 3 Following Red Paint Vandalism, Smashed Glass at Israeli Embassy in the Netherlands - Algemeiner

Law enforcement in The Hague has apprehended three suspects following vandalism at the Israeli embassy on Tuesday morning.

“This is what dangerous incitement and lies against Israel look like,” Israel’s foreign ministry said on X, alongside an image of the crime featuring splatters of blood-like red paint and a broken window. “This incitement against Israel has already claimed the lives of two workers of the Israeli Embassy in the US, and in the Netherlands itself, this resulted in a pogrom against Israelis just a few months ago. This incitement must be confronted with the full force of truth.”

The ministry was referring to how, in June, a gunman murdered two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, while they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum hosted by a national Jewish organization. The suspect charged for the double murder, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, yelled “Free Palestine” while being arrested by police after the shooting, according to video of the incident. The FBI affidavit supporting the criminal charges against Rodriguez stated that he told law enforcement he “did it for Gaza.” (Read more

1. SCOTUS Signals It Is Ready to Review Kim Davis Case - Liberty Counsel

Orders opposition to respond by Sept. 8, 2025  

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the LGBTQ plaintiffs to respond to Liberty Counsel’s petition. The rapid sequence of actions by the High Court leads me to believe there is a strong interest in this case. If the Court takes this case, it will be a blockbuster that will send shockwaves. LGBTQ advocates have already expressed concern.  

By now, you know the story. Two LGBTQ men received a 360,000-dollar judgment against Kim Davis because she dared to use her constitutional and legal RIGHT to religious freedom. The case of Davis v. Ermold before the High Court could change the course of history. 

If a person can be personally sued for using their religious freedom rights, then America has no religious freedom rights at all.

Liberty Counsel filed a compelling legal petition with the High Court on July 27, 2025. The case was placed on the docket on August 1. The ACLU waived its response on August 4 (a not uncommon action). However, on August 6, the Court set the case for conference, and on August 7, the Court ORDERED the ACLU to reply by September 8.

- Holy King, we praise You for standing with this citizen who is being (perse-)prosecuted for taking a solid stand on behalf of her firmly held religious beliefs at her job. It has now been ten years since she refused to issue a marriage certificate for a gay couple and since that time we cannot imagine the torment she has experienced from the opponents of our faith. May we uphold Kim Davis firmly and stand on the wall together for full victory in this matter which is coming before the Supreme Court soon, in Jesus name. Holy One, please compel them to judge righteously in this matter, according to biblical instructions, in Jesus name.

- "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

2. Uvalde school district releases records on 2022 shooting after court order - Just the News
 

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District has released records related to the 2022 shooting massacre at Robb Elementary School in Texas. 

Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the shooting. The records were released in a court order requiring them to be handed over to 18 news organizations.

An initial request for the material by the families of the victims from the school district and local officials was unsuccessful. CNN and 17 other news organizations then sued the city of Uvalde, Uvalde CISD, and the county for public information after officials refused to release the records, CNN reported.

The school district had fought to withhold the records that have been requested for three years. The documents include exchanges between officials about victims and their families, the academic and disciplinary record of the shooter, and text messages involving former Uvalde school Police Chief Pete Arredondo. (Read more)  

- God of all Comfort, we ask for Your overwhelming kindness and love to fill the lives of the families who have suffered such unbearable loss in this tragedy and we pray that they can walk in forgiveness that will set them free. We know that the law enforcement agents were put in an untenable situation by being told not to stop the shooter, however, these were innocent, defenseless children that were murdered. We pray for every person involved to find their way to Your perfect love and salvation, in Jesus name. We also pray for justice to come to every person who engaged in withholding the police from intervening, in Jesus name.  

- "'Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish." (Isaiah 41:9-10)

3. Former Capitol Police chief blasts Pelosi for comparing Trump's activation of National Guard to J6 - Just the News
 

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund on Monday blasted former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for criticizing President Donald Trump's activation of the Washington, D.C. National Guard over crime in the district, claiming he delayed deploying the guard in the January 6 riot.

“We're calling the National Guard now? They should have been here to start out,” Pelosi said in the footage. “How many times did members ask, are we prepared? Are we prepared? We're not prepared for the worst ... We will have totally failed. And we've got to take some responsibility."

Sund, who was the chief during January 6, reminded Pelosi that he was denied National Guard approval despite requesting it days before the riot and was later forced to decline assistance from the National Guard because he was not authorized to accept it.

"Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people," he wrote in a lengthy post on X. "On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

- Holy One, the gloves are coming off regarding the unrighteous actions that are the hallmark of the cruel J6 set-up and we thank You for watching over this nation. We pray for honest judges who will preside over the trials in the future, as it seems apparent there is much more hidden that must come to the surface for justice. We are thankful to see President Trump taking action in the streets of DC now and we are thankful to hear Nancy Pelosi being held to account for her actions on that fateful day, in Jesus name.

4. Judge orders teens charged in DOGE staffer attack in DC to remain in youth custody - Just the News

A Washington, D.C., judge has ordered the two teens charged in the attack on a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer to remain in the city's juvenile detention center, rejecting requests for less restrictive detention.

The boy and girl, each 15, were charged in the Aug. 3 attack on Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old, as they were allegedly trying to carjack a vehicle in Northwest D.C. The attack was followed by President Trump announcing that he plans to take over the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard.

The two teens, who are from Maryland, appeared Monday in front of Judge Kendra D. Briggs in a hearing in D.C. Superior Court, The Washington Post reported. (Read more)

- God of Heaven and Earth, we ask for Your guidance to deal well with the out of control young people in this nation right now. We pray for Edward Coristine to be completely healed physically and emotionally and speak salvation over him, in Jesus' name. May these people who committed the crime be pierced in their hearts and consciences to know right from wrong and repent and turn from their wicked ways during their detainment, in Jesus name. We also command a cease and desist order over the racist rhetoric coming from people with loud voices, stages or governmental authority, in the holy name of Jesus! We pray for repentance and reconciliation in this nation and call for a renewal of racial harmony, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

- "'But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?' says the Lord God, 'and not that he should turn from his ways and live?'" (Ezekiel 18:21-23) 

5. School District Defies Law on ‘Trans’ Athletes, Illegal Immigration - PJ Media

A school district in Kansas appears to be ordering students and staff to violate state law and Donald Trump’s executive order while exposing girls to the dangers of shared spaces and sports with mentally ill boys. The district is also certainly vowed to interfere with ICE operations.

Lawrence Unified School District (USD497) in Kansas issued a statement vowing to “protect” illegal alien students from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, which, if put into practice, would violate federal law. Not only that, but Libs of TikTok obtained a document reportedly from USD497 insisting students can access facilities and activities — including, presumably, sports — based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex.

USD497 has an “Immigration Resolution” on its website. It was passed and signed by the school board. This resolution explicitly promises to defy the Trump administration and courts that have made favorable decisions for ICE activities and try to prevent ICE from carrying out any investigations or other actions at Lawrence schools (presuming that ICE would even raid the schools, which is unlikely). (Read more)

 - Holy One, we pray for our girls in the public schools and ask You to protect them from the lawlessness of the school district that would allow born-males to invade their locker rooms and athletics, in Jesus' name. We know this is not the only school district or state planning to defy President Trump, so we pray for very strong consequences that would be effective deterrents to the rebellious cities and states. We pray for active and engaged parents to stand up with their children and push back on the school district and state superintendent of instruction in order to protect righteousness, in Jesus' name.

6. Euthanasia Now So Popular in Canada, Doctor-Killers Struggle to Meet Demand - Breitbart

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), Canada’s preferred euphemism for euthanasia, has become so popular practitioners struggle to meet demand.

MAID deaths have been growing by double digits each year since the practice was legalized in 2016, and especially since it was approved for patients who are not terminally ill in 2021.

Critics say Canadian doctors are not only making assisted suicide available, but actively pushing it as an option – even for people whose only medical or psychological complaint was thinking about suicide.

Canada’s doctors actually kill their patients, rather than providing them with tools for suicide and allowing them to pull the fatal trigger themselves. The Atlantic on Monday published an eerie article entitled “Canada Is Killing Itself” that followed doctors gathering for a euthanasia conference in Vancouver, complete with lunch buffets, a disc jockey, and complimentary tote bags for the attendees.

A Canadian armed forces veteran with a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was offered medically-assisted suicide by a Veterans Affairs Canada employee while seeking treatment. (Read more) 

- God of Life and Creation, in Jesus' name we denounce this wicked evil in Canada. We have watched a very quick and horrible slide into this tragic darkness for the culture and spirit of Canada  and we must take note, so it doesn't happen here. Holy King, we pray for this spiritually devastated nation and call them to repentance, redemption and salvation in the loving name of Jesus Christ. Father, we ask You to strengthen and speak to the people who are being challenged to kill themselves, allow them to run from the medical death threats, in Jesus' name. We pray for righteousness to sweep the godless and immoral culture out to sea, and for an overwhelming revival of Life, Hope and Mercy to wash over Canada for the glory of Almighty God.

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Revelation 20:12-14)  
7. Exclusive: Democrat whistleblower told FBI that Schiff okayed leaking classified intel to hurt Trump - Just the News

A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.

The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

In his most recent interview with the bureau in 2023, the whistleblower, whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's St. Louis office that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.

"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the interview report said. "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.” (Read more)

- Holy and Righteous Judge, we thank You for the revelations that are being opened up and exposed so that justice can be released upon them, in Jesus name. May we also have the ability to put walls and boundaries upon our government so that they are hemmed in by righteousness and truth according to the Constitution and Word of God. We forgive Adam Schiff, but also ask for the full weight of the law to be extended to him and those pushing him and his wicked deeds forward, in Jesus name. 

- "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God."            (Romans 10:3)

Tropical Storm Erin forms, to become first Atlantic hurricane of 2025
Erin has formed in the eastern Atlantic and is forecast to be the first hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season. Erin will be a long-track storm and will eye the United States next week.

A tropical rainstorm in the eastern Atlantic Ocean has evolved into Tropical Storm Erin, and it may be on its way to a major hurricane this week, AccuWeather experts say. Meanwhile, there are additional areas also being monitored for potential tropical development this week.

Tropical rainstorm evolves into Erin

A cluster of showers and thunderstorms that moved off the African coast last week became a tropical rainstorm Sunday morning near the Cabo Verde Islands.

On Sunday, the tropical rainstorm unloaded between 7 and 8 inches of rain in five hours, according to sources. Televisão África reported that at least six people are dead, with more missing, after flash flooding in São Vicente, Cape Verde Islands.

Further strengthening has resulted in its official designation as a tropical storm. Erin is expected to rapidly intensify and become a hurricane—the season's first—later this week and a major hurricane shortly thereafter.

Thought for the Day
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)
A Special Message
The Sinner's Prayer
"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."
