Rubio Defends Christian Heritage of Western World
|
|
Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the role Christianity played in the development of the Western world during his speech at the Munich Security Conference.
“Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization’s past,” he declared during the conference. “And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe.”
Rubio asserted that the United States and Europe “belong together.”
“America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new,” he explained, noting that the U.S. and Europe are “part of one civilization – Western civilization.”
“We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.” (American Faith) Read More Here >

Abba, we ask for an added measure of blessings to fall upon Secretary of State, Mark Rubio, for his bold highlighting of Christianity as the shared foundation between Europe and the United States of America. We pray for a strong bond between nations where God Almighty is honored and binds us together in genuine unity and peace. We ask that Rubio's speech would be empowered by Your Holy Spirit and forever echo in the minds of all present. May we see miraculous fruit come from his discussions at the Munich Security Conference, as we decree and declare Your holy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! In the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, we lift this prayer -Amen.
"Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace." (Ephesians 4:3)

Dr. Alveda King: Stay the Course
|
|
Spiritual warfare has accelerated. Here in the USA President Trump's announcement of rededicating America back to God – (Hallelujah!) has amplified a "polarization effect." So now, more than ever, religious freedom rises to new heights.
In our spiritual, personal and professional lives, let us be mindful every day to "go to the Throne [of God] before we go to the phone [AI]."
"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
Now is the time to Pray, Occupy, and Enforce in our territories. For those who are in Christ, we have already won! Proceed from Victory to Victory and Glory to Glory.
"And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come." Luke 19:13
The stage is set for a showdown—to determine: "Who is really GOD and LORD" over the citizens of this country. Is America a Christian nation?
In Christ, at Calvary, with faith over fear, Christians have already won. Now, moving ahead from victory to victory—from glory to glory—we [leaders, pastors, intercessors, laymen alike] must boldly and openly declare in plain language "Jesus Christ is Lord, King and Our Only God."
In occupation and enforcement, we must simultaneously master defense and offense. As we occupy and enforce God's Kingdom on earth, the real line of demarcation must be vigilantly and wisely fought to enforce the Christian doctrines which birthed America, the nation our ancestors built!

Yes, it is time to read the handwriting on the wall and make a decision whom we will serve, declare and honor. Whether we are pro-football players, business people, young or old, we, who call ourselves children of the Most High God, have the privilege and duty of declaring that Jesus Christ is Lord. This counts whether it's at church on Sunday or in the face of wickedness, false religions, or with the lost and messed up ones. We thank You Abba for our leaders who speak, teach and preach with moral clarity and courage, calling us to one accord in the face of a determined foe. We ask You to bless and protect this team; let their message be shouted from the rooftops and may the body of Christ rise to the occasion of prayer, worship and declaring "No King but Jesus", in one accord, in Jesus's name.
"'So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: 'Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: "Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?" . . . Now, Lord, look on their threats and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,'" (Acts 4:25-26, 29)

UN Event: “Gender Affirming Care” Must End
|
|
A recent UN event hosted on the sidelines of the annual UN Commission for Social Development shows that pediatric gender affirming care, including the kind promoted by the UN, is harmful to children, scientifically unsound, and out of step with international standards. Panelists asked governments to reject it.
Hosted by Concepts of Truth International and Burundi’s Mission to the UN, the event featured presentations by board-certified psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, Joseph Figliolia, a Policy Analyst specializing in gender medicine at the Manhattan Institute, and de-transitioned author and speaker Laura Perry-Smaltz.
Dr. Grossman explained that “[t]he evidence against gender-affirming care is formidable and growing by the day” and said, “it’s deeply troubling that the United Nations pressures the developing world to teach that sex is assigned at birth.” (C-Fam) Read more

Thank You Good Father, that this twisted and wrong-headed agenda against children and families is being discussed before even the highest levels of the global programming. We bless these ones who are speaking out against this "care" and calling for governments to reject it because it's scientifically unsound and results in irreparable harm to children. We pray for the voice and message of this conversation to span the earth with the heavy weight of its critical importance, in Jesus's name.
"'Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.'" (Matthew 18:10-11)

Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi makes new appeal to Trump to weaken ayatollah's regime as killing continues
|
|
Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called for "humanitarian intervention" in his country and urgent international measures against Iran’s ruling regime amid protests and reported mass casualties.
Pahlavi appealed to President Donald Trump after Trump said regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen."
The prince listed several measures the U.S. could take to weaken the ayatollah, including neutralizing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), cracking down on "ghost tankers" that secretly transport sanctioned oil and provide revenue to the regime, expelling diplomats or holding them to account for criminal behavior, freezing assets of oligarchs, supporting protesters with internet access and asking for the unconditional release of all political prisoners in Iran.
"These are specific measures... that the world can [take to] put more pressure on the regime, but it will also show much more support to the Iranian people," Pahlavi said on "Sunday Morning Futures."
His comments come as Iran is roiled by anti-government demonstrations and regime retaliation against them. Pahlavi said a minimum of 36,000 people were killed by police in the first two days of protests, though it remains difficult to collect accurate data. (Fox News) Read more

Thank You Holy One for these specific measures detailed that could be used to put pressure on the Iranian regime. We pray for the people of this nation who are fighting and dying to gain a freedom they can only see from a distance, such as the freedom we enjoy daily. May we value how precious freedom is and how easily it can slip out of our hands by becoming more informed about what happened in Iran nearly 50 years ago. We pray for the killings to stop and the regime to be defeated, in Jesus's name.
"And David inquired of God, saying, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?' The Lord said to him, "Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand.' So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim."
(1 Chronicles 14:10-11)

Antifa Court Case Needs Supernatural Prayer
|
|
|
This week, the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division will be the site of a monumental lawsuit–the first of its kind. The United States has indictments against 10 members of a North Texas Antifa Cell who conducted a military-like operation of terror at the Prairieland Detention Center, a DHS facility. The attack, which was not only coordinated and premeditated, involved rifles and other weapons. The charges contain 12 counts, some of which are attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States.
Yesterday’s twelve-count indictment charges Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autumn Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada with multiple offenses for their roles related to the Prairieland attack. The defendants are set for arraignment on December 3, 2025, in front of a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Northern District of Texas.
You can be praying for this case. Those representing the government’s case and testifying against the suspected terrorists need prayers for protection and wisdom. Also, be aware that Antifa is sending out social media posts to flood the courtroom with Antifa supporters on February 17th when the trial is expected to begin. Your intercession for the protection of those standing against Antifa can shift the atmosphere in this demonically fueled terror group’s day in court. (IFA) Read more

Thank You Mighty One, that these evil-doers are being brought before a court of law to face the accusations of their crimes. We pray for them to receive the consequences of their actions and that the judge is not corrupt, but honorable, in Jesus's name. We pray for every one of these people to find Jesus in this journey and become whistleblowers against the criminal terrorist organization, Antifa, so that it may be dismantled and the members all brought to justice, in the name of Jesus.
"Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God." (Ecclesiastes 8:12-13)

1. Israel set to deploy Arrow 4 system, boosting interception capabilities
- Israel Hayom
Israel is expected to begin operational deployment of the Arrow 4 missile defense system in the coming months, a move that could significantly upgrade its ability to counter aerial threats, CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries Boaz Levy said Tuesday.
Speaking at the Defense Tech conference at Expo Tel Aviv, Levy said the new system would boost Israel's interception success rates and provide advanced capabilities against emerging threats, particularly from Iran.
"Israel Aerospace Industries develops new capabilities every day, and we are working to bring them to operational readiness," Levy said. "The entry of the Arrow 4 system into operational service will increase Israel's interception success." (Read more)

2. Hezbollah Rejects Disarmament Plan and Government’s Four-Month Timeline
- Algemeiner
Terrorist group Hezbollah rejected on Tuesday the Lebanese government’s decision to grant the army at least four months to advance the second phase of a nationwide disarmament plan, saying it would not accept what it sees as a move serving Israel.
Lebanon’s cabinet tasked the army in August 2025 with drawing up and beginning to implement a plan to bring all armed groups’ weapons under state control, a bid aimed primarily at disarming Hezbollah after its devastating war with Israel in 2024.
In September 2025 the cabinet formally welcomed the army’s plan to disarm the Iran-backed Shi’ite militia, although it did not set a clear timeframe and cautioned that the military’s limited capabilities and ongoing Israeli strikes could hinder progress.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a speech on Monday that “what the Lebanese government is doing by focusing on disarmament is a major mistake because this issue serves the goals of Israeli aggression.” (Read more)

3. 85 countries back statement condemning Israel for deepening its control of West Bank - Times of Israel
Eighty-five countries have signed on to a Palestinian-led joint statement condemning the recent security cabinet decisions aimed at tightening Israel’s control of the West Bank.
“We strongly condemn unilateral Israeli decisions and measures aimed at expanding Israel’s unlawful presence in the West Bank,” says the statement organized by the Palestinian Mission to the UN.
“Such decisions are contrary to Israel’s obligations under international law and must be immediately reversed. We underline in this regard our strong opposition to any form of annexation,” the countries add.
The measures passed by the security cabinet include steps making it easier for settlers to purchase West Bank land, while expropriating it from Palestinians who claim ownership. (Read more)

4. Former prime minister warns ‘Turkey is the new Iran’ - World Israel News
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned Tuesday that Turkey is becoming a central strategic challenge for Israel, urging unified Zionist leadership and political change following what he described as the gravest failure in the country’s history.
Addressing the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, Bennett said Israel is facing a shifting regional landscape in which Ankara is assuming a role once associated with Tehran.
“A new Turkish threat is emerging,” he said, declaring that “Turkey is the new Iran.”
Bennett said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan represents a calculated and expanding danger to Israel’s security.
He described Erdogan as “a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who seeks to encircle Israel,” warning that Ankara is working to expand its reach across several fronts near Israel’s borders. (Read more)

5. Drone manufacturer which supplied equipment to IDF kicked out of Brooklyn Navy Yard - All Israel News
An American New York City-based drone manufacturer, Easy Aerial, had its lease terminated by the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the New York Post reported.
Easy Aerial has been the target of protests at the site, by anti-Israel and anti-government groups, including a group called “Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard”, which has organized protests against both Easy Aerial and a military equipment manufacturer that supplies the NYPD, SWAT, and ICE, called Cyre Precision.
In a post to Instagram, the protest group praised the decision, and claimed responsibility for it.
"Every single action, every sticker put up, and every letter they [BNY] received contributed to our coordinated effort to evict this fascist weapons manufacturer,” the group wrote on its Instagram account. “Implementing a multiplicity of tactics, including direct action, political education, worker outreach, and deep community organizing, worked to materially impact the supply chains of imperialism, zionism, and fascism.” (Read more)

1. Fetterman Says Shutting Government Down Won’t Reform ICE - Breitbart
Tuesday on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) argued against Democrats voting to shut the government down in the name of reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Fetterman replied, “I’m saying it’s fundamentally wrong to shut our government down. And if you want to reform ICE, as the Democrats, we do want some ones, but that is not going to do that, and now why you’re doing it? For me, it’s always about country over party, and that’s why I’ll refuse to vote to shut the government down. And now with the supreme — I mean, I’m sorry, the State of the Union, well, I do expect to extend — attend that, and I do hope there is not the same kinds of thing last year with the paddles and those kinds of disruptions. You can disagree or agree on things, but you don’t have to turn it into like a spectacle like that.” Read more

|

We bless John Fetterman for his courage and perspective in looking at issues from a reasonable position and pray for the light of Christ to fill his home. May his viewpoint be heard across Congress as we pray for hearts and minds to change and become more reasonable, in Jesus's name. We pray that the government is opened up quickly and those who have been so eager to shut it down are brought under the fear of Almighty God.
"For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you." (2 Corinthians 1:12)

2. Dems Try to Cancel Republican Congressman After He Declares Americans Will Not Give Up Dogs to Appease NYC's Muslim - Western Journal
Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, called out Muslims on social media this week who are against keeping dogs as indoor pets and continued to stand his ground, despite drawing heavy backlash from several prominent Democrats.
The back-and-forth occurred after Fine responded to a post on the social media website X by Nerdeen Kiswani. She chairs a New York City-based pro-Palestinian advocacy group and is a vocal supporter of far-left Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Last week, Kiswani wrote on X that, “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”
“Democrats like AOC [New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] are saying, ‘we are going to get rid of your dogs,'” Fine explained. “Americans need to keep that in mind when they go to vote in November.” Read more
|
|
|
Thank You Mighty One for putting courage and boldness into Rep. Fine so that he is not afraid to stand up against the many accusations and threats being laid against him. We stand with him and declare the United States of America is a land where animals, domestic and wild, are cared for, stewarded and respected. We pray for New Yorkers to recognize the dangers they are facing with the Islamic efforts to take over this great city, in the name of Jesus. Jesus, please guard and protect all leaders who stand and speak out against the threats of Islam and its disparity with our Constitution, in Your name.
"And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord. So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations." (Psalm 79:12-13)

3. JUST IN: Maryland Governor Wes Moore Blames Trump for Sewage Spill from His State into the Potomac After Trump Blasts Democrats for Spill - The Gateway Pundit
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a sewage spill from Montgomery County, Maryland, north of DC, which began on January 19, 2026, was estimated to have discharged nearly 300 million gallons of sewage into the famed river. Meanwhile, DC and Maryland officials still do not have a handle on the crisis, which is killing wildlife and ruining plans for recreation on the river.
President Trump on Monday said he is activating the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) while slamming Moore’s “Gross Mismanagement” of the situation, adding, “This is the same Governor who cannot rebuild a Bridge.”
“It is clear Local Authorities cannot adequately handle this calamity. Therefore, I am directing Federal Authorities to immediately provide all necessary Management, Direction, and Coordination to protect the Potomac, the Water Supply in the Capital Region, and our treasured National Resources in our Nation’s Capital City,” Trump said.
“While State and Local Authorities have failed to request needed Emergency Help, I cannot allow incompetent Local ‘Leadership’ to turn the River in the Heart of Washington into a Disaster Zone.” Read more
|
|
Holy One, we pray for this disaster to be stopped and cleaned up immediately, in Jesus's name. We call for all hands on deck against such a foul catastrophe to help restore the river. The details of responsibility will be evident as everything is reviewed and we pray for consequences to everyone who has been neglecting this filth, in Jesus's name. Thank You Father that President Trump has finally taken action to stop the volume of spew and we pray for a speedy recovery in every way, in Jesus's name.
"Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God." (1 Corinthians 4:5)

4. Investigative Reporter Nick Shirley Exposes Massive Voter Fraud in California (VIDEO) - The Gateway Pundit
Investigative reporter Nick Shirley traveled to California to expose voter fraud.
California does not require voter ID, and the state’s elections go on and on for weeks after Election Day. With ballot harvesting, ballot curing, a lack of voter ID laws, and mass mail-in ballots, California’s elections are rife with fraud.
Last year, an Orange County, California, woman was arrested and charged with illegally registering her dog to vote and casting mail-in ballots in her dog’s name.
Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, illegally registered her dog to vote in California and cast ballots in her dog’s name in the 2021 Gavin Newsom recall election and the 2022 primary election. According to Orange County DA Todd Spitzer, the dog’s vote was successfully counted in the 2021 election but was rejected in the 2022 primary.

Abba, we bless Nick Shirley and his team for the work they are doing, ferreting out fraud and corruption by asking the obvious questions and pursuing the answers. Based on his previous experience in Minnesota, he is likely just scratching the surface of the mountain of criminal deeds that have taken place in California. We ask You Jesus to protect his life and equipment as he does this job and we pray for the resources needed to continue bird-dogging the unrighteousness and exposing it, in Jesus's name. We pray for a complete turn-around in the state of California unto righteousness, in the name of Jesus.
"If you say, 'Surely we did not know this,' Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds." (Proverbs 24:12)

5. Tom Emmer blasts Democrats' double standard on SAVE Act: 'They require photo IDs' at their own DNC - Fox News
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., is accusing Democrats of being hypocritical in their opposition to Republicans' latest election integrity bill.
The No. 3 House Republican ripped the rival party after nearly all of them voted against the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act last week, specifically over its provision mandating federally accepted photo identification at the polls. It's also sometimes referred to as the "SAVE Act."
Emmer pointed out that a photo ID was required for attendees to watch former Vice President Kamala Harris accept the Democratic Party's nomination for the White House in Chicago last year.
"By the way, if they think it's voter suppression, why do they require photo IDs at the Democrat National Convention to get in?" Emmer said. "I mean, I think Americans are so much smarter than these people can understand, can let themselves understand," he said. Read more

God of Justice, we ask that You would take a strong hand to this matter and bind the mind-blinding spirit upon the Senate in Jesus's name and release righteousness and integrity. We pray for the protections of US citizenship and photo ID to be established over our elections, for Your glory. We know this matter requires our work in the natural but more importantly Your intervention in response to our intercession in the Spiritual realm. We thank You for leading us in the way we should go and we ask that those who are obstructing and working extra hard to interfere with legitimate elections would be the very ones who lose their seats of power, in Jesus's name.
Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken, Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the Lord God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph." (Amos 5:14-15)

6. Schumer Pushes Bill to Make the LGBTQ Pride Flag Equal to the American Flag - PJ Media
Chuck Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country. Schumer's legislative push comes in direct response to the Trump administration's removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument outside the Stonewall Inn earlier this month. The Stonewall Inn is the site of a 1969 clash between police and patrons at the gay bar, an event widely considered the birth of the gay rights movement.
The Stonewall National Monument, which falls under the National Park Service's supervision, was first designated by former President Barack Obama in 2016. Now Schumer wants to exploit that designation to force the Pride flag into permanent federal protection.
It's worth noting here that President Donald Trump never explicitly targeted the pride flag. He simply signed an executive order restricting what types of flags may be displayed on federal property to ensure only the U.S. flag is prominently flown.
There’s nothing hateful about that; it’s just restoring proper respect for national symbols. And no, the pride flag does not deserve to be a national symbol. Read more
|
|
|
Holy King, we bind these plans of Chuck Schumer to empower the pride flag with the same status as the American flag, in Jesus's name. We release the victory of the Star Spangled Banner upon these intentions and pray for a greater commitment to justice and freedom in Congress and New York state. We know, according to Rabbi Johnathan Cahn, that Stonewall was the location of the dark demonic activities being released into our culture, so we pray for the Christian flag to be high and lifted up over this location and New York City and our nation once again, for the glory of Almighty God.
"'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,' says the Lord. Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.'" (Zechariah 2:10-11)

Iran: The Same Promise, The Same Pattern
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, February 17, 2026
Iran once again insists it seeks only peaceful nuclear energy while pledging it will never pursue a bomb. That line has echoed through multiple administrations, multiple agreements, and multiple crises. Each time the world is told the issue is settled, and each time inspectors later raise concerns about access, enrichment levels, or undeclared activity. The story does not move forward, it circles back. The real question is no longer whether Iran knows the right words. The question is whether history has taught us how to listen. Diplomatic language has remained steady for decades, yet measurable activity has shifted whenever pressure relaxed. What appears new in headlines often proves to be repetition in practice.
Iran’s nuclear effort stretches back more than a quarter century in its modern form. The country signed international agreements promising non-weaponization while building nuclear facilities later revealed only after outside discovery. Investigations repeatedly ran into incomplete disclosures, disputed inspections, and technical findings that could not verify a purely civilian program. Agreements temporarily slowed enrichment but never fully resolved the trust deficit. When restrictions loosened or pressure eased, enrichment levels rose again. Each cycle reinforced the same dynamic, negotiation followed by expansion. The pattern became predictable enough that diplomats learned talks were rarely the end of the matter, only a pause in escalation while capability quietly improved. Read More

Hockey rink shooting suspect warned about going 'BERSERK' in X post day before attack

The trans suspect accused of shooting and killing two people at a Rhode Island ice rink on Monday had posted on X about going "BERSERK" after an actor insisted that Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., is a man.
McBride identifies as a transgender woman.
Robert Dorgan, 56, appeared to become agitated after actor Kevin Sorbo wrote on X that "Tim McBride is a man. Community note this if I'm wrong," alongside a photo of the Delaware Democrat.
In response, Dorgan — whose profile listed the name Roberta Dorgano — wrote: "Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK."
In another post, Dorgan responded to Infowars host Alex Jones, who had written "So creepy" in response to Sorbo's post.
The posts came one day before Dorgan is accused of opening fire inside the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket during a hockey game between Coventry and Blackstone Valley Schools in what police described as a "family dispute," Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said.
"It appears that this was a targeted event, that it may be a family dispute," Goncalves said.
A family contact told Fox News that the gunman shot and killed his ex-wife Rhonda and his son Aidan. Dorgan's former in-laws who were at the game are both are in critical condition and "fighting for their lives," the family contact added. (Fox News) Read more

Holy One, this is another unbearable tragedy in our nation, stemming from the transgender chaos that has been loosed to run wild. It seems that the trans people who have been so deeply damaged have little ability to contain their rage or emotions. We pray Father for Your hand of covering to be upon them and that You would provide secure Godly resources to keep them from harming others or living in hate, in Jesus's name. We pour out prayers of comfort for all the people so deeply impacted by the tragedy, may they find You in the midst of this trauma. We pray for Your lovingkindness and mercy to help this family walk through this nightmare and especially for the young son who was playing hockey. We pray for the blood of Jesus and healthy believers to surround him with the love of God and healing, in the name of Jesus.
"'I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,' Says the Lord, 'And I will heal him.'" (Isaiah 57:18-19)

Brand new polling numbers from the key battleground state of Wisconsin reveal that Midwestern patriots demand law and order and a return to national sovereignty for our country.
These results expose the constant media lies—with the expressed views of Wisconsin citizens who carefully watch the radicalism unfold right next door in Minnesota … and demand a different path.
This poll makes clear the ongoing will of regular Americans to reclaim our country. These salt-of-the-earth Americans insist that policies prioritize our own citizens and that immigration can only work in a controlled, lawful manner. (The Daily Signal) Read more

Abba Father, we pray for common sense, rule of law and simple sanity to return to the government of our states individually and our nation. We command the violence and venom being expressed in the streets to cease and desist and come under the authority of the name of Jesus. We pray for leaders to listen to the will of their citizens and allow state law enforcement to work together with the federal law enforcement, which includes ICE. We know that Wisconsin does not want to follow in the footsteps of Minnesota, so we pray that the activists and troublers do not have free reign or access, in Jesus name.
"Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. There are many plans in a man's heart, Nevertheless the Lord's counsel–that will stand." (Proverbs 19:20-21)

Shipwreck missing since 1872 discovered at bottom of Lake Michigan
|

The Lac La Belle sank during a storm in 1872 and was lost to the lake for more than a century. Now a shipwreck hunter says the wreck has finally been found.

A ship that hasn’t seen daylight for 154 years was recently found resting at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
The Lac La Belle was a 217-foot passenger steamer built in 1864, once used to move people and goods across the lake. But on a stormy night in October 1872, the voyage took a deadly turn. The ship began taking on water during a gale and eventually sank, and eight people died when one of the lifeboats capsized during the escape.
There it sat in the cold, dark depths until pioneer Illinois Shipwreck Hunter and Scuba Diver Paul Ehorn located the wreck, according to Shipwreck World.
"The Lac La Belle was close to home for me and is a wreck that’s always been on my radar," Ehorn said.
For Ehorn, the discovery marked the end of a long pursuit. According to reporting on the find, he has been searching for the Lac La Belle since 1965, part of a decades-long effort to track down one of Lake Michigan’s most sought-after missing ships.
Ehorn and his partner, Bruce Bittner, believed they first identified the wreck site in 2022 using sonar. But rough weather and the ship’s distance from shore made it difficult to return and confirm what they were seeing. (Accuweather) 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."
