Pete Hegseth Delivers Unapologetic Christ-Centered Prayer at the White House
|
|
At a recent governor’s dinner at the White House, that tradition was placed front and center once again as President Donald Trump invited Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to lead the room in prayer. “You have done a fantastic job and Pete, you are doing incredible and please say grace,” Trump said as he introduced him.
With governors, cabinet members and national leaders assembled, Hegseth stepped forward and began with a simple request: “If you would bow your head.” “Dear heavenly father, King Jesus, we come humbly before your throne praising you for all the providence you’ve bestowed upon this nation for over 250 years,” he prayed.
From the outset, the prayer was rooted in gratitude and historical awareness. Hegseth pointed to the nation’s founding and its enduring acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty. “From George Washington to President Trump, we have dedicated this nation to one nation under God. And certainly in God we trust,” he said. (Charisma) Watch Prayer Here

Abba, we sing HALLELUJAH for god-fearing men and women in President Trump's Cabinet, which You have hand-selected for such a time as this, to represent our nation! We pray the sweet fragrant offering of prayer and honor to God Almighty will continue to be the foundation of our United States of America. Bless Pete Hegseth and others who stand alongside, as they boldly proclaim Jesus Christ and follow the Ways of the Lord. Pour Your abundant favor and blessing upon President Trump, his entire Administration and our country as Jehovah Nissi, The Lord our Banner, is honored within our government as our forever 'cloud by day and fire by night'! By the powerful Name and Blood of Jesus Christ we pray- Amen!
"By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of could by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people." (Exodus 13:21-22)

8 Takeaways From the State of the Union
|
|
“Two hundred and fifty years is a long time in the life of a nation, but in another sense, it's really a mere moment in the eye of history. Two of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening took their first breaths one century ago,” the president said, referring to two veterans he honored earlier in the address.
“One hundred years before that, on July 4, 1826, the author of the Declaration of Independence, brilliant Thomas Jefferson, drew his last breath. Just a single long human lifespan separates the giants who declared and won our independence from the heroes who stand among us tonight. Everything our nation has done, everything we have achieved, has been the work of those few great lifetimes.”
|
|
President Donald Trump highlighted his economic agenda in a record-length State of the Union address, declaring the United States is “bigger, richer, and stronger than ever before.”
The president drew attention to some of the guests in attendance to spotlight the impacts of his policies, including no taxes on tips, Trump Accounts, and the TrumpRx medication discount website.
Trump awarded the Medal of Honor to a Korean War hero and to a helicopter pilot wounded in the mission to capture former Venezuelan Leader Nicolás Maduro. He announced that he would award the Medal of Freedom to USA men’s hockey team goalie Connor Hellebuyck.
Here are eight takeaways from the president’s speech.
401K for All: The president proposed providing 401(k) plans for workers whose employers don’t provide them, with up to $1,000 a year in matching contributions. Estimates suggest that about 56 million workers currently have no employer‑sponsored retirement plan.
Energy Deal With Big Tech: The president said his administration struck a deal with tech giants to ensure that residential customers don’t have to shoulder the cost of capital expenditures by electric utilities as they scale up to keep with the demand from data centers.
Medals for Heroes: Aside from the medals mentioned earlier, the president awarded the Legion of Merit to U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan, who helped rescue 165 people during flash flooding in Texas last summer.
Democrats Withhold Applause: At one point, Trump called on audience members to “stand up and show your support” if they agreed with the notion that the “first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” When many Democrats remained seated, Trump told them that they “should be ashamed.” The president called out the Democrats for their lack of applause for the mother of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who was brutally murdered by a repeat offender who was free on no-cash bail.
Guests Spotlight Economic Agenda: To showcase his economic achievements, the president gave shoutouts to several Americans who have benefited from policies in the One Big Beautiful Bill enacted last year. Pennsylvania mother of two, Megan Hemhauser, a bartender who homeschools her children, had her tax bill more than cut in half under Trump’s economic policies, he said.
Temperate on Tariffs: Trump adopted a more measured approach when defending his tariff agenda to rebalance international trade. The president had previously lashed out against the Supreme Court for overturning his emergency tariffs. But, facing four of the justices in attendance, he struck a softer tone, calling the decision "very unfortunate."
Vance Is Czar of War on Fraud: Among his new policy promises Tuesday night, Trump said he was “officially announcing the war on fraud” and would appoint Vice President JD Vance to lead the effort.
Congressional Stock-Trading Ban: Trump urged Congress to approve legislation barring lawmakers from trading individual stocks. Efforts to restrict congressional stock trading have circulated on Capitol Hill for years, but lawmakers have yet to reach a final agreement. Trump has previously said he would sign the bill. His promotion of the measure in the State of the Union may give the measure the boost it needs to finally pass.

Father, we bless You for the encouragement of these many items President Trump is bringing forward on behalf of we, the people. We pray for Congress to support these plans and pass bills that are necessary to implement protections for the long-term. We give honor to each person he honored in the speech and we pray for ongoing stability, security and strength for this great nation and wisdom and courage for our leaders to act uprightly in all that they do, in Jesus's holy name.
"'Look among the nations and watch— Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you.'" (Habakkuk 1:5)

Gov. Abigail Spanberger Calls Illegal Aliens ‘Aspiring Americans’ in Democrat SOTU Response
|
|
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger accused President Donald Trump of sending immigration officials to “arrest mothers and detain children” and called illegal aliens “aspiring Americans” in the Democratic Party’s official response to the State of the Union address.
Speaking to fellow party members in Williamsburg, Virginia, the governor said, “We did not hear the truth from our president” and blasted Congressional Republicans for being “unwilling to assert their constitutional authority to stop him.”
Arguing that Trump and Republicans have made “life more expensive” and are “even making it more difficult to see a doctor,” she claimed that “here in Virginia, I am working with our state legislature to lower costs and make the Commonwealth more affordable.”
Playing up the emotional card when it comes to detainments and deportations made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Spanberger spewed radical and plainly untrue views on Trump’s immigration enforcement policies:
“I think Spanberger just referred to illegal immigrants as people who ‘aspire to be’ American citizens,” wrote political analyst Guy Benson on X. “She pretends ICE has only arrested innocent mothers and children. ~70% of ICE arrests in the last year have targeted people with criminal histories.” (Breitbart) Read more

Holy One, we are dealing with deep division within our nation, that unfortunately is based not on biblical standards, but on the rage against righteousness and morality. We pray that we can overwhelm such deceptions with Your love, Your truth and Your righteousness. We know the democratic position is in strong opposition with the conservative Christian position, and we pray for goodness and fairness to overwhelm that hardness and lawlessness, in Jesus's name.
"Let them give glory to the Lord, And declare His praise in the coastlands. The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies." (Isaiah 42:12-13)

HUGE: Per Rasmussen, Nearly Two-Thirds of All Americans Concerned Election Machines Change Votes
|
|
Rasmussen released poll results on electronic voting machines used in US elections nationwide. The results are consistent with what we have been sharing since the 2020 Election.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans are concerned that electronic voting systems may allow votes to be changed remotely through internet connections during voting.
Despite constant lies about the 2020 Election being “the most secure election ever” or the MSM encouraging people to ignore their own eyes and ability to reason, Americans are not fooled. Read more

Mighty King of Justice, as a nation, we have always striven for reliable integrity in all that we do. Elections have been one of the core elements defining our free nation, but the trustworthiness has flown down the river since the electronic (and hackable) machines came into play. We pray for continued strategies and strength to fight against these machines in every city in every state, in Jesus's name. May we restore election integrity to our nation, as a hallmark of righteousness and justice in this land, for Your glory.
"'"These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace; Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate," Says the Lord.'" (Zechariah 8:16-17)

Iran nears China anti-ship supersonic missile deal as US carriers mass in region: report
|
|
|
Iran is nearing a deal with China to acquire supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, a move that could significantly raise the stakes in the Middle East as U.S. carrier strike groups assemble within striking distance of the Islamic Republic.
Reuters reported Tuesday that Tehran is close to finalizing an agreement for Chinese-made CM-302 missiles, citing six people with knowledge of the negotiations.
The supersonic weapons, which can travel roughly 180 miles and fly low to evade ship defenses, would enhance Iran’s ability to target U.S. naval forces operating in the region.
The deal is near completion, though no delivery date has been agreed, the people said. It is unclear how many missiles are involved, how much Iran has agreed to pay, or whether China will ultimately proceed given heightened regional tensions. Read more
|
|
In the name of Jesus we bind this horrible weapons deal and put it under the feet of Almighty God. We declare that Iran will not be able to purchase such weapons from China and that their efficiency will be undermined with terminal and irreparable flaws, in Jesus's mighty name. We pray for many plans of God to be implemented that will interfere with, disrupt, defeat and overthrow all of these actions from both nations, so that justice, cooperation and fellowship with other nations would prevail in the hearts of these two nations, in Jesus's name.
"Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, 'I am your salvation.'" (Psalm 35:1-3)

1. Israel warns Lebanon: If Hezbollah intervenes we will respond forcefully
- Israel National News
Israel has conveyed an indirect warning to Lebanon that it would respond forcefully, including by targeting civilian infrastructure such as Beirut’s airport, should Hezbollah take part in any war between the US and Iran, two senior Lebanese officials told Reuters on Tuesday.
The offices of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Lebanese presidency did not immediately comment on the report.
The development comes as Washington and Tehran prepare to hold a third round of nuclear negotiations on Thursday in Geneva, according to Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi. The talks follow heightened tensions and growing concern over the possibility of military confrontation between the sides. (Read more)

2. Twelve US stealth F-22s land in Israel as Iran strike looms - YNET News
Twelve U.S. F-22 fighter jets, among the most advanced in the world, landed in Israel on Tuesday as part of a broader American military buildup amid the possibility of a strike on Iran.
The F-22 Raptor is one of two fifth-generation fighter jets in the U.S. arsenal, alongside the F-35, which is also operated by the Israeli Air Force. The landing of American fighter jets in Israel is unusual; the deployment of advanced stealth F-22s is particularly so.
The F-22, which first flew in 1990, is primarily an air superiority fighter but is also capable of ground attack, electronic warfare and intelligence missions. Unlike the F-35, the F-22 has not been sold to foreign militaries due to a U.S. legal prohibition. (Read more)

3. IDF launches multi-day counterterrorism op in southern Samaria
- World Israel News
The Israel Defense Forces on Monday launched a multi-day counter-terrorism operation in the Binyamin region of southern Samaria, according to a message sent to residents of nearby communities.
“Yesterday (Monday), an operation by IDF soldiers began in the villages of Turmus Aya, Sinjil, and Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, and is expected to continue in the coming days,” the municipality of Eli announced.
“During the operation, increased movement of security forces may be felt in the area, and gunfire and explosions may be heard,” the Israeli community, which is located between Sinjil and Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, said in the announcement to its some 4,790 residents.
The raids were part of a “proactive and planned operation aimed at restoring security and order in the area,” according to the notice. (Read more)

4. Total disorder’: Comptroller accuses government, IDF of ‘systemic failure’ in post-Oct. 7 evacuations - Times of Israel
A state comptroller report published Tuesday found a series of major failures on the part of the government and emergency authorities in the mass evacuation and relocation of over 200,000 civilians in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, including late and sloppy evacuation processes, shirking of responsibility, and the lack of an agreed-upon, up-to-date protocol.
The damning report — exposing deep gaps in preparedness, coordination and responsibility among key government bodies tasked with managing the home front — is the 32nd by State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman on civilian aspects of the post-October 7 attack period.
The report examined the evacuation and relocation of some 210,000 residents from southern and northern communities during the opening stages of the war. It reviewed the preparedness of local authorities before the war, the evacuation process after its outbreak, the housing of evacuees in hotels and other facilities, and the provision of basic education and welfare services.

1. Leading cartel member "El Tuli" killed in Jalisco after "El Mencho" death
Mexican special forces killed a senior Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) operative known as “El Tuli” during an operation that followed the death of cartel boss Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” authorities said.
According to Mexico’s Defense Ministry, “El Tuli” was the cartel leader’s top financial and logistics chief and helped orchestrate retaliatory attacks across Jalisco after the raid that mortally wounded Oseguera on Sunday. The deaths of Oseguera and his chief lieutenant marked one of Mexico’s most significant blows against a cartel in years and raised immediate questions about CJNG’s succession and Mexico’s short-term security outlook.
Officials reported widespread roadblocks, arson attacks, and assaults on government facilities after the raid, disrupting travel, tourism and business activity in western Mexico, including Jalisco’s industrial corridor and tourist hubs.
Authorities said the situation was normalizing by Monday, with no active roadblocks reported, though investigations and security operations continued across multiple states. Read more

Holy One, we pray for Your divine protection and safety on behalf of all innocent people in this trouble area, not just tourists, in Jesus name. We pray for the Mexican military to be wise, strong and uncompromised so they can protect their state and restore peace and order, in the name of Jesus. May the leadership be able to stop the cartel killings and we ask for Your protection over President Gloria Sheinbaum, President Trump and all other vulnerable leaders. Amen.
"Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies." (Psalm 60:11-12)

2. John Fetterman Defends Coast Guard, Blasts DHS Shutdown: ‘America Loses’
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) defended the U.S. Coast Guard for continuing to work while not getting paid during the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, noting that “America loses” as a result of the shutdown.
In a post on X, Fetterman shared a screenshot of an article from the Oregonian about how a Coast Guard crew had saved a 25-year-old man who had been “on a rafting trip” and had gotten lost in the woods for several days.
“The Coast Guard saved an injured man from the wilderness and isn’t getting paid,” Fetterman wrote. “I voted to pay those heroes. Shutting DHS down has no functionality on ICE or any reforms. It only hurts our workers and America loses.” Read more
|
|
|
Father, we pray for this government shutdown to cease and desist in the name of Jesus. As Sen. Fetterman has stated, it is a futile effort at controlling the DHS and ICE because they are already funded. We pray for those who are being neglected, overlooked and disregarded by Congress and the news media to raise up a strong voice against the injustice, in Jesus's name. We bless the people who are continuing to do their job faithfully and willingly even though their agencies are shut down, in Jesus's name.
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men– as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God." (1 Peter 2:15-16)

3. Heartbreaking: Family of 12-Year-Old Killed by Trans Shooter Forced to Cancel Funeral Amid Death Threats
The family of 12-year-old Kylie Smith, brutally murdered in the Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia mass shooting by a transgender lunatic on February 10, has been forced to cancel her funeral due to credible death threats.
The threats appear to stem from the transgender community and its supporters.
The shooting left eight dead and 25 injured.
The shooter, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, a biological male living as a “woman,” died from a self-inflicted gunshot.
The RCMP has implemented a safety plan, relocating the family to a secure location, and confirmed that multiple families are facing similar harassment. Read more
|
|
Holy One, this is such a strong red alert warning to the nations that the transgender community needs serious intervention. No one should threaten families with death as they seek to bury their murdered children, in Jesus name. We pray for the people doing so to be stopped and put under mental health care and restrictions, immediately. Forgive us Father, for allowing our society to fall so far into the pit that these people have been able to become so twisted up by the devil and we cannot stop it. We pray God for Your presence in the lives of these threatened families in Canada. We ask You to show Yourself to them in strength and comfort, so that they would turn their hearts to Your salvation in the midst of this nightmare, we pray.
"Then Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve."' Then the devil left Him, and behold angels came and ministered to Him." (Matthew 4:10-11)
"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

4. Self-defense company finds major benefits after moving manufacturing from overseas to US
Byrna Technologies, which makes non-lethal personal security devices that can launch plastic or chemical irritant rounds, moved its main manufacturing facility from South Africa to Indiana in 2021 and began finding qualified U.S. component suppliers to prevent supply chain disruptions like what transpired during the pandemic.
"There are over 100 components that go into our launchers, we wanted redundancy on all of them," Byrna Technologies CEO Bryan Ganz told FOX Business. "Generally, the offshore manufacturers were a little bit less expensive, so they got the majority of the production."
Ganz said that while the process of onshoring more of Byrna's supply chain before the Trump administration's tariffs were implemented last year, the tariffs made domestic production more cost-effective and the onshoring process revealed other benefits.
"It was very interesting because not only was it much cheaper with the imposition of the tariffs to be producing in the U.S., but we also discovered all sorts of soft cost benefits," he said. Read more
|
|
|
Thank You Father, for a company willing to speak out objectively about the unexpected benefits they have discovered as a result of tariffs and returning production to the U.S. We pray for other companies to also find the same benefits, in Jesus's name. Mighty One, we pray for the security and stability of our nation and its economy, despite the many efforts to undermine our strength. We ask that You continue to show us the way through the mire and bring us back to Your strong tower. Amen.
"For it is written in the law of Moses, 'You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.' Is it oxen God is concerned about? Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?"
(1 Corinthians 9:9-11)

5. House Republicans Present Nigeria Christian Persecution Report to White House
Congressman Riley M. Moore joined members of the House Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs at the White House to present a report proposing actions to end the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and address rising extremist violence.
President Trump originally placed Nigeria on the list during his first term, but the Biden administration removed it in 2021. That year’s State Department religious freedom report noted mass killings of both Christians and Muslims and did not identify Christians as a singular target. Trump’s return to office created a new opportunity for activists seeking redesignation.
At the press conference announcing the move, President Trump said, “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands and thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. That is a legal definition.” Referring to global figures, he added, “Whether Christians or any such group are slaughtered like in Nigeria, 3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide. What horrible numbers!” Read more
|
|
Praise God for Congress stepping up to take action against the horrific killings in Nigeria of Christians. We bless them and President Trump with wisdom and authority to intervene on the president of Nigeria demanding he take action against the brutal genocide in his nation, in Jesus's name. We pray for the Christian communities there and ask You Jesus to be their ever-present help in this time of need. We pray Abba, that you please release multitudes of angels to interrupt the plans of the enemies and cause their evil schemes to boomerang right back on themselves, in Jesus's name.
"I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind, And I was feet to the lame. I was a father to the poor, And I searched out the case that I did not know. I broke the fangs of the wicked, And plucked the victim from his teeth." (Job 29:14-17)

6. Report: U.S. Attorney Pirro’s Office Halts Case Against Democrats Who Encouraged Military Disobedience
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro’s office is allegedly halting a case against several Democrats who took part in a video and encouraged military members to disobey orders, according to a report.
“Three people familiar with the matter” reportedly told NBC News that Pirro’s office “decided to stop pursuing the case” against Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO).
The decision reportedly comes after a “federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro” to have the Democrat lawmakers indicted for their roles in a video in which they encouraged military members to disobey orders, according to the outlet: Read more

Father, this matter is shocking because there seems to be a clear bias. We don't know how grand juries are chosen, but we do know that something stinks about this one. We bless US Attorney Jeanne Pirro and pray for her to continue pushing forward for justice, in Jesus's name. We pray for a federal prosecutor to bring forward a case against these traitorous ones so that they are held accountable for their dishonorable behavior against our duly elected president and the U.S. military, in Jesus's name.
"For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;" (Romans 11-13)

The Risk Of Training Nigerian troops against terrorism
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, February 24, 2026
Many American Christians hailed President Trump’s decision to train Nigerian troops on how to confront terrorists and halt the slaughter of Christians in parts of Nigeria. Voices with long experience facing the terrorist Boko Haram and their Fulani partners, however, warn the plan could backfire. My ministry partner of 34 years, Pastor William Agbeti, who works on the ground in West Africa, says caution is essential because the conflict is deeply cultural, religious, and political. He believes infiltration is a real danger. In his view, some trainees may carry secret loyalties that could endanger the very communities the training hopes to protect and place non-Muslim troops at risk. The training may strengthen rather than restrain militants.
Agbeti argues the challenge is persistence. Extremist movements in the region operate on generational timelines. They do not need quick victories; they wait, adapt, and wear down opponents through patience and pressure. A foreign training mission can unintentionally energize recruitment by reinforcing propaganda that Christians are backed by Western military power. Local believers then bear the consequences. He further observes that also warns that the Nigerian government has a soft spot for the extremists, which leaves enforcement uneven even when policies exist on paper. The result is a cycle where attacks continue. In that climate, a purely military approach risks treating symptoms while the underlying networks remain intact, financed, and socially embedded within local systems of influence. Read More

Iran's University Students Break through Barricades, and Join the Brave People's Protests against Brutal Islamic Regime
|

Despite the massacre of protesters by the Islamic Regime, the courageous Iranian people continue to fill the streets chanting "Javid Shah" (long live the king), a call to reinstate the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and overthrow the murderous IRGC. (Screengrab image: via Tousi TV)
According to reports by Mahyar Tousi, on Tousi TV, the regime has kept students barricaded in their universities, but in Tehran, students broke through the blockade, and joined the uprising, chanting "death to Khamenei."
In a piece on this event, Dr. Rich Swier writes, "When the country's leftist intellectual youth move from abstract dissent to explicitly rejecting the clerical regime and invoking Iran's pre-revolutionary past, it reshapes the political landscape. Crowds at Tehran's universities are now chanting: 'A lifetime of crimes, death to this clerical regime.' The significance is enormous—a generational rupture unfolding in real time."
Meanwhile US negotiator Steve Witkoff has reportedly met with Reza Pahlavi, as the Iranian people continue to call for his return to help lead them in a free Iran. Read more

We praise You Father for the Iranian student population taking a stand and fighting for freedom in their nation alongside those who have been paying the heavy price to see their current administration removed, in Jesus's name. We cry out for wisdom for every one working to see this murderous regime brought to an end and replaced with leadership that honors human life and values rule of law, in Jesus's name. We pray that all of their nuclear aspirations are destroyed, never to be restored again.
"God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together, The people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted." (Psalm 47:8-9)

FEDS NAB SUSPECT IN TERROR PLOT: Authorities Arrest Individual Accused of Attempted Arson Attack on DHS/ICE Office in Idaho After Ambulance Ramming
|
|
|
|
Federal and local authorities in Idaho have finally apprehended the radical suspect accused of attempting a domestic terror attack against a DHS/ICE facility. The Gateway Pundit reported last week that an anti-ICE agitator stole an ambulance, packed it with gas cans, and rammed the emergency vehicle into a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho.
Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole the ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital and poured accelerant inside of the vehicle.
“We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,” Police Chief Basterrechea said. “The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” he said.
“This was absolutely an act of violence, and if the suspect had not been interrupted, there is no doubt this building would have been burned, putting the lives of first responders and others at risk,” he added.
According to authorities, 43-year-old Sarah Elizabeth George of Boise was taken into custody Monday evening after Meridian Police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at her Boise residence. Read more

Thank You Father that this woman has been stopped from her terroristic activities. We pray that she and any others she was aligned with or working for will be brought to justice, without exception, in Jesus's name. We thank You Abba, that she was arrested before being able to ignite the ambulance, the building and harm people, and we pray for Idaho's judicial system to be strong and assertive about enforcing the law and its consequences to all people.
"Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 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." (Ecclesiastes 8:11-12)

Blizzard of 2026 wallops Northeast: Over 37 inches in Providence, 9,000+ flights canceled
|
|
The blockbuster blizzard intensified into a bomb cyclone and piled up record snow in Providence, Rhode Island. AccuWeather estimated $34 to $38 billion in damages and economic loss.
The Blizzard of 2026 rewrote snowfall records across southern New England, burying parts of the I-95 corridor under feet of snow and triggering sweeping travel shutdowns from the mid-Atlantic into Maine.
Record-setting snow and hurricane-force wind gusts
The storm delivered extreme snowfall rates and powerful winds across the Northeast Sunday and Monday as it strengthened into a bomb cyclone, a term used when a storm rapidly intensifies. Over a foot of snow fell from Philadelphia to New York City and Boston, with the blizzard unleashing its wrath in southern New England and Long Island.
Providence, Rhode Island, measured more snow Monday (35.5 inches) than what fell in the past two winters combined (33.9 inches). It was also the single biggest snowstorm in the city's history, with a storm total of 37.9 inches.
Travel was shut down in New York City, where 19.7 inches of heavy, wet snow stuck to every surface and clogged city streets. The city has now measured 42 inches this season, making it the snowiest winter since 2014-15.
Philadelphia measured 14 inches of snow, pushing the city’s seasonal total to 30 inches and ranking this winter as the 15th snowiest on record. (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."
