THE GOOD NEWS CORNER
Chicago Children’s Hospital Stops Pediatric Trans Drugs  
Chicago’s prestigious Lurie Children’s Hospital announced it will no longer start gender-affirming medications for children and teens under age 18 who have not previously been treated at the hospital. The policy change follows a federal threat of investigation and enforcement actions from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) tied to ongoing federal efforts to limit gender-transition treatments for minors.

Lurie Children’s Hospital said it will pause initiating puberty blockers and hormone therapies for new pediatric patients under 18, citing “pending Federal court rulings” and the “rapidly evolving legal landscape” as reasons for the decision. The pause applies to new cases; youths who previously received such treatments at the hospital are not affected.

The announcement comes after HHS signaled a potential investigation into several U.S. hospitals over their gender-affirming care practices for minors, a move widely linked to enforcement of policies under President Trump aimed at restricting such treatments. HHS’s general counsel publicly stated that procedures perceived as “sex-rejecting” and causing “permanent harm” to children would draw scrutiny.

Hospital officials framed their updated stance as a response to federal legal and regulatory pressures, rather than a standalone medical decision. According to reporting, the hospital paused these interventions because of the threat of federal action that could jeopardize its participation in Medicare and Medicaid or expose it to legal risks.

Father we celebrate Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago ending distribution of gender-affirming medications to children under 18 years of age.  Bless all efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services in their diligent protection of children, through making hospitals accountable with real risks of financial repercussions and legal challenges. We praise You Abba for President Trump and his administration as they seek You and bring forward common-sense policies. May the President and his cabinet receive godly discernment and wisdom to protect future generations and direct our entire nation onto right paths, causing a powerful realignment towards the Ways of Almighty God! By the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, we pray- Amen. 

"Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed." (Psalm 112: 1-2)

Next major storm threat looms for Northeast on the heels of historic, deadly weekend snowstorm
The FOX Forecast Center is closely monitoring an evolving weather pattern around the Northern Hemisphere that could open the door for a potential nor'easter this upcoming weekend.
As much of the Northeast digs out from the biggest snowstorm in half a decade, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston could all be on track to see another major system on its heels. Unlike the sprawling cross-country nature of the historic storm this past weekend, this next threat would be a coastal system.

The FOX Forecast Center is closely monitoring an evolving weather pattern around the Northern Hemisphere that could open the door for a potential nor'easter this upcoming weekend. According to the FOX Forecast Center, a robust disturbance in the upper layers of the atmosphere could get caught up in this massive dip in the jet stream and potentially spawn a storm off the Mid-Atlantic or Southeast coast. The dip will serve multiple roles, including reinforcing cold air across the region and suppressing the storm track farther to the south. 

Later this week, a strong upper-level disturbance moving through the jet stream could trigger the formation of a low-pressure system off the East Coast as the trough shifts eastward. However, there is a large degree of uncertainty among computer forecast models regarding this outcome. 

FOX Weather Meteorologists Bob Van Dillen and Jane Minar noted Monday that both the traditional European and the AI-driven European forecast models indicated more impacts for the Mid-Atlantic coast, while the American GFS forecast model was less bullish on a major impact. 

But should these forecast ingredients come together, it could set the stage for another snowstorm for the northeastern portion of the Interstate 95 corridor, which had been suffering from a decade-long snow drought in many locales. (Read more)

Father, we pray for Your hand to stir up this coming storm and break it apart and cause no danger to lives, homes or livelihoods, in Your name. We pray for Your covering and provision for all those who are tending our cities to keep them clear and safe and are responding to needs of the citizens, in Jesus's name. We thank You Abba for hearing our prayers and we also ask You to break down and destroy all weather weapons that may be operating at this time and arrest those who may be implementing any troubles, in Jesus's holy name. Amen.

"The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, And darkness will pursue His enemies." (Nahum 1:7-8)

Trump says Iran called 'numerous' times to make deal as carrier enters Middle East waters
Any potential agreement would require Tehran to remove enriched uranium and change support for regional proxy forces, official sources said

President Donald Trump said Iran appears to be looking to negotiate with the U.S. amid a growing military buildup in the Middle East. In a Monday interview with Axios, Trump suggested that Tehran had reached out on "numerous occasions" and "want[s] to make a deal." "They want to make a deal. I know so. They called on numerous occasions. They want to talk," the president told the outlet.

According to U.S. officials, also cited by Axios, any potential agreement would need Tehran to remove all enriched uranium, cap its long-range missile stockpile, a change in support for regional proxy forces, and cease independent uranium enrichment, terms Iranian leaders have not agreed to.

Trump also described the situation with Iran as "in flux," and pointed to the arrival of what he called "a big armada next to Iran. Bigger than Venezuela," referencing the recent deployment of U.S. naval assets.

As previously reported by Fox News Digital, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier entered CENTCOM waters in the Indian Ocean on Monday amid increasing threats from Iran, a senior U.S. official said.

Trump had told reporters Jan. 21, "We have a big flotilla going in that direction, and we’ll see what happens. We have a big force going towards Iran. I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely."

The U.S. military buildup comes amid widespread unrest inside Iran following protests that began Dec. 28.

Trump is expected to hold further consultations this week, Axios said, before adding that White House officials said an attack is still on the table. (Fox News) Read more here.

Trump admin wins court victory freeing ICE agents from Minnesota protest restrictions
8th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that blocked certain tactics against anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota

A federal appeals court sided with the Trump administration Monday in a ruling that blocks restrictions on tactics being used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while dealing with anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota

The ruling by the three-judge panel 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals put a stay on a lower court ruling that prevented officers from arresting, detaining, pepper-spraying or retaliating against protesters in Minneapolis without probable cause as anti-ICE agitators continue to confront authorities carrying out enforcement operations. 

"We accessed and viewed the same videos the district court did," the appeals court said in the ruling. "What they show is observers and protesters engaging in a wide range of conduct, some of it peaceful but much of it not. They also show federal agents responding in various ways."

The lawsuit alleged that federal authorities violated the civil rights of six protesters. 

Last week, the court temporarily lifted restrictions on ICE agents' use of force against protesters in Minnesota. Monday's ruling grants a "FULL STAY," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said. 

"Liberal judges tried to handcuff our federal law enforcement officers, restrict their actions, and put their safety at risk when responding to violent agitators," she wrote on X. "The DOJ went to court. We got a temporary stay. NOW, the 8th Circuit has fully agreed that this reckless attempt to undermine law enforcement cannot stand." (Fox News) Read more here,

1. White House blames Democrats for ICE violence as Minneapolis erupts, Insurrection Act threat looms - (Go here)
 
Thank You Father for a righteous ruling in the Appellate Court. We declare this case will stand  and all law enforcement agents will be permitted to follow the law in our Rule-of-Law nation and that law-breakers will be given their consequences, in the name of Jesus. We pray for protection over ICE and Border Patrol agents and we bind the spirit of lawlessness unleashed and organized in Minneapolis, in Jesus's name and we pray for weapons of righteousness from heaven to be released.

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. . . . " (2 Corinthians 6:14-16a)

As Anti-ICE Chaos Continues, Obama Encourages More Protests 
Over the weekend, another fatal shooting sparked chaos in Minnesota. And, as tensions between law enforcement and Minnesotans rose, former President Barack Obama was quick to fan the flames, blaming President Trump for the violence and calling for more protests.

From Breitbart:

"Obama wrapped his call for nationwide action against the federal government in a tone of regret, and he portrayed the street protests as defensive measures against a tyrannical government: The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault. Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job, but Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety. That’s not what we’re seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we’re seeing the opposite." (End quote)

Alex Pretti was an armed protestor who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in a confrontation in Minneapolis on Sunday. Officials in the Trump administration said that Pretti wanted to “perpetuate violence” and “violently resisted” law enforcement, stressing that agents only fired out of fear for their lives. His death comes nearly three weeks after ICE officers shot and killed another protestor, Renee Good, as she was attempting to hit federal law enforcement with her car.

Obama did not mention any of this context in his statement, instead voicing his disagreement with the Trump administration’s statements on both deaths. The former also called for the current administration to work with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, despite the fact that both of them have antagonized and refused to work with President Trump for months now.

Most notably, Obama also called for Americans across the nation to “draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country.” While this call may have been made in good faith, it ignores that the protests in Minnesota are not at all peaceful. Last week, for example, protestors stormed a church in St. Paul, harassing and threatening congregants. Law enforcement has also faced attacks. One ICE officer had his finger bitten off by a protestor (WARNING: link contains graphic content), and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott shared on X that protestors attempted to force their way into a Minneapolis hotel Border Patrol agents were staying in.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration may soon change its approach in Minnesota. The President himself recently signaled this change was coming, announcing on Truth Social that Border Czar Tom Homan was on his way to the state. Additionally, President Trump said on Monday that he had a “very good call” with Governor Walz, who reportedly requested to work together with the federal government in Minnesota. It’s unclear exactly what was discussed, but it seems we may finally see the temperature come back down in Minnesota.

As chaos continues across the country, let’s pray that leftist states like Minnesota and leaders like Governor Walz and Obama would sport our law enforcement officers, not antagonize them. (Source: Intercessors for America) To read all of their prayer and

1. Herzog warns: 'Never again' is failing - Israel National News

President Isaac Herzog delivered remarks on Tuesday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, at the Second International Conference on Combating Antisemitism in Jerusalem.

The conference was organized by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism at the initiative of Minister Amichai Chikli and was attended by Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama, along with other international leaders.

At the outset of his address, President Herzog referred to what he described as a "hugely significant development" for Israel and Jews around the world, announcing that Staff Sgt. Ran Gvili had been returned to Israel after 834 days.

According to the President, Gvili "didn’t hesitate for a moment on October 7th," running "directly into the line of fire to protect his country, his fellow citizens, and fellow human beings." Herzog said Gvili’s return marked "a significant turning point," noting that for the first time since 2014, "not a single Israeli citizen, living or dead, is being held as a human bargaining chip in Gaza." (Read more)

2. 81 Years After the Holocaust, Antisemitism Pervasive in Germany, Poland
- Algemeiner

Eighty-one years after the Holocaust, antisemitism remains rampant in the heart of the former Third Reich, with rising antisemitic hate crimes in Germany and incidents targeting Jewish communities in Poland drawing widespread condemnation.

On Tuesday, as the world marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a group of Orthodox Israelis waiting to board a flight to Israel at Krakow Airport in Poland were physically and verbally assaulted by an airport employee, in the latest antisemitic incident drawing condemnation from officials and community leaders.

The travelers were praying before boarding their flight when the employee noticed them and began shouting antisemitic slurs while demanding that they stop.

When the group members explained they were nearly finished, the assailant became even more aggressive, reportedly spitting on one person and pushing another. (Read more)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the next phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan would focus on disarming Hamas and demilitarizing the Strip, not reconstruction.

“We are at the threshold of the next phase: Disarming Hamas and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu told Knesset lawmakers, shortly after he officially announced that the Israel Defense Forces had recovered the remains of the last hostage from the coastal territory.

Netanyahu spoke alongside Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama at a special Knesset session honoring the European leader. (Read more)

5. Hamas seeking role for its 10,000 police officers in Gaza ahead of disarmament talks; Israel regards them as terrorists - Times of Israel

Hamas is seeking to incorporate its 10,000 police officers into a new US-backed Palestinian administration for Gaza, sources say, a demand likely to be opposed by Israel as the terror group debates whether to surrender its arms. Israel regards all elements of Hamas, including the police, as components of a terrorist organization.

Hamas retains control of just under half of Gaza following an October ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump. The agreement ties further Israeli troop withdrawals to Hamas giving up its weapons.

The 20-point plan to end the war, now in its second phase, calls for the governance of Gaza to be handed to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a Palestinian technocratic body with US oversight that is meant to exclude Hamas. (Read more

1. Meta, TikTok and YouTube face landmark trial over youth addiction claims - OANN.com

Three of the world’s biggest tech companies face a landmark trial in Los Angeles starting this week over claims that their platforms — Meta’s Instagram, ByteDance’s TikTok and Google’s YouTube — deliberately addict and harm children.

Jury selection starts this week in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. It’s the first time the companies will argue their case before a jury, and the outcome could have profound effects on their businesses and how they will handle children using their platforms. The selection process is expected to take at least a few days, with 75 potential jurors questioned each day through at least Thursday. A fourth company named in the lawsuit, Snapchat parent company Snap Inc., settled the case last week for an undisclosed sum.

KGM claims that her use of social media from an early age addicted her to the technology and exacerbated depression and suicidal thoughts. Importantly, the lawsuit claims that this was done through deliberate design choices made by companies that sought to make their platforms more addictive to children to boost profits. This argument, if successful, could sidestep the companies’ First Amendment shield and Section 230, which protects tech companies from liability for material posted on their platforms. (Read more)  

Praise God that these bigtech agencies are finally being held accountable for the devious things they have done over the years in order to become incredibly wealthy and powerful at the expense of our privacy and protections over our children. Father, we pray for a just outcome here and that the big tech groups are compelled to remove the addictive features and completely re-work everything for the benefit of families and not themselves, in the name of Jesus. We also pray for the implementation of greater safeguards to be made available for parents to implement, in Jesus's name.

"He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded. The law of the wise is a foundation of life, To turn one away from the snares of death." (Proverbs 13:13-14) 

2. How Your News Source Completely Changes What You Believe About Immigration - Daily Signal

T
exas has accounted for 25% of all ICE arrests since enforcement ramped up. The state has processed thousands upon thousands of deportations. No riots. No mob violence against federal officers. No churches stormed during worship services. Minnesota represents less than 1% of ICE arrests. And Minneapolis is on fire.

At Cygnal, we recently surveyed voters on whether the Trump administration’s deportation efforts have gone too far, are about right, or haven’t gone far enough.

The results: 50% said too far, 48% said about right or not far enough. That’s a statistical tie. A country split down the middle. But if you only consumed legacy media coverage, you’d assume 80% of Americans are horrified by what’s happening. You’d think the deportation efforts represent some unprecedented crisis of conscience for the nation. They don’t.

Nearly half the country supports the policy or wants it to go further. You just wouldn’t know that from watching the evening news. The real divide isn’t about what Americans believe. It’s about where they get the information that shapes those beliefs. (Read more)  

Mighty God, this information seems to be very important for intercessors to keep lifted up in prayer. We pray for truth to overwhelm lies, deceptions and manipulations of language within the news media, in Jesus's name. Abba, it seems that media, in all its many forms, is something that is seldom prayed about, but wields incredible power in the home, hearts and lives of the citizens. Father, we pray for Your divine intervention upon those who drive the perceptions of we, the people, by subtly or blatantly controlling the language, narrative and presentations of media messaging, in Jesus's name. Let God arise upon America.

"Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him."               (1 John 2:8-10) 

3. Middle East Amid Heightened Iran Tensions - The Epoch Times

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced a multi-day airpower readiness exercise in the Middle East at a time of heightened tensions with Iran.

In a Jan. 27 statement, CENTCOM said U.S. Air Force components will conduct the exercise to confirm “procedures for rapid movement of personnel and aircraft.”

CENTCOM said the exercise will also validate “dispersed operations at contingency locations; logistics sustainment with a minimal footprint; and integrated, multi-national command and control over a large area of operations.” (Read more)

Lord of Heaven and Earth, we pray for Your divine hand of protection and guidance for everything that takes place in this exercise. We pray that You allow the military to be sharp and sure in all they do and the cooperation with other countries is without hindrance Father. Please reveal the intel needed to bring the terror and murder taking place in Iran to a complete halt and that You orchestrate many escapes from deaths, for Your glory. Jesus, we beseech You to be the leader and chief of this entire mission and may we see the nation of Iran/Persia set free to worship the God of their choosing, in Your holy name. Amen.

"Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,' Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it." (Isaiah 46:9-11) 
4. Minnesota Insurrection: A Special Forces Operator Has Seen This 'From Anbar to Helmand' - Breaking Christian News
 

"What's unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn't 'protest'," he continued. "It's low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who've clearly studied the playbook."

"This isn't spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace 'ICE agents' with 'occupying coalition forces' and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s."

Schwalm also noted that "the most sobering part" is that what he's seen in Minneapolis isn't just a note-for-note replay of what he fought a war against in the Middle East; "It's domestic."

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil. (Read more)

King of Kings, we recognize the sobriety of this article and the implications of the last statement. We ask You to pour forth revelation to Your people all across this land to know how to pray, speak out and act, in Jesus's name. For such a time as this, we have come to Your courtroom, before Your throne of grace, to make our requests known to You. We don't know what to do, for this horde is strong and aggressive, but we know who You are and that You are far superior on the ground, in the water and through the airwaves, both in the natural and in the spiritual. We trust You and thank You for calling us and igniting us for Your glory on earth as in heaven, in Jesus's name. Do it again, Father.

"'For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. He is near who justifies Me; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me. Surely the Lord God will help Me; Who is he who will condemn Me? Indeed they will all grow old like a garment; The moth will eat them up.'" (Isaiah 50:7-9)

5. Alex Pretti Committed Previous Felony on Officers Before Deadly Attack - PJMedia
 Democrats want you to believe that Alex Pretti, the man who died during a violent clash with Border Patrol in Minneapolis, was an innocent legal observer with a heart of gold. It turns out that Pretti’s armed assault that resulted in his death was not his first illegal interference with federal immigration officers.

The underlying issue here is that Democrats have encouraged their activists to believe that they can commit any amount of violence and dangerous illegal behavior without any real consequences. The leftist activists deliberately endangering the lives of federal immigration officers on the streets, and fueling an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,347% increase in assaults, see themselves as heroes for their violence. Yet they also melt down anytime that violence backfires on them. Alex Pretti committed a felony and threatened officers with deadly violence one too many times. He fell for Democrat lies and it cost him his life. 

Frankly, I personally also find it concerning that this man Pretti was an ICU nurse, and yet he apparently spent his free time committing felonies. And yes, 18 U.S. Code § 111 bans anyone from interfering with federal operations or attempting to block or assault federal officers. CNN, which reported Pretti’s previous illegal interference in an immigration arrest, naturally would not like to use that fact as context. (Read more) 

Father, this orchestrated aggression towards law enforcement agents is a felony and cost this foolish man his life. It is certain it had far more meaning in the hospital than in the streets and it's a tragedy that he's gone. We pray for the officers involved in the confrontations with him; this deadly one and others. We ask for Your protection for every person on the front lines doing the right thing and for Your light to surround each courageous lion, in Jesus's name. We pray for the dismantling and exposure of this street protest cabal and we bind the funding sources,in Jesus's name. We drive this effort at revolution into the ground and under the feet of Almighty God where they cannot reconstitute and must bow the knee to King Jesus.

"'So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the Lord had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahitophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring disaster on Absalom.'"   (2 Samuel 17:14)

6. 'Poison': Nurse urges people to inject ICE agents with drug that paralyzes, stops breathing - WND
 

It is Libs of TikTok that is asking VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia, the organization's thoughts on a nurse employee who suggests people inject ICE agents with a drug that paralyzes them and stops their breathing.

The references are to nurse Malinda Rose Cook, a CRNA at the hospital.

"She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food. Any comment @VCUHealth? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?" Libs of TikTok said.

(Editor's Note: Be aware of offensive language in the diatribe)

Please note, too: There is a nearly 3-minute video compilation of her unbelievable posts. This is just shocking and revolting!

God of Righteousness, it is so shocking to learn about the many ways medical professionals like this woman are conjuring up to harm, if not kill, innocent people. We bind this mind-blinding spirit and pray for those who are being controlled by it to be set free by an encounter with the Risen Savior. We pray for colleagues, family, and friends who know You Abba, to be bold and courageous in sharing Your truth with these confused medical professionals, as well as with teachers and and all others in such bondage, in Jesus's name. May they encounter the goodness of God in the land of the living, be brought to their knees in repentance and turn from every wicked plot or scheme to harm others and break the law, in the name of Jesus. 

"'But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.'"           (Matthew 6:23-24)

"Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." (James 5:19-20)

The Daily Jot

A Nation Reckoning With Itself

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, January 27, 2026

Imagine a nation whose leaders flung open the borders, knowing violent criminals would come, and then looked away as assaults, murders, and trafficking multiplied. Imagine leaders who handed drug cartels unprecedented access to children and young people, allowing poison to flood communities. Imagine a ruling class that promoted radical ideology in classrooms, encouraging irreversible medical interventions for minors, the legal sterilization of boys and the permanent disfigurement of girls, all under the banner of “care.” This is not dystopian fiction. This is the landscape many Americans recognize today. These choices were not accidents. They were policies, defended, enforced, and normalized. 

The result has been a society increasingly hostile to its own future. Imagine leadership that forged unholy alliances between pharmaceutical corporations and government regulators, coercing citizens to comply with medical mandates under threat of job loss, exile, or social erasure. Imagine billions of taxpayer dollars routed through government programs only to reappear in political coffers, foreign conflicts, terrorist hands, and private accounts. Imagine a moral framework so distorted that free societies were told to treat terrorists as equals to democratic nations, while their own citizens were smeared as extremists for objecting. Add to this a justice system bent into a weapon, used to intimidate, exhaust, and imprison political opposition. Top it off with manipulated voting laws designed to entrench power rather than reflect the will of the people. Read More

The Hezbollah Brigades called on Sunday for other terrorist groups to prepare for a comprehensive war, including suicide operations, in support of Iran amid mounting U.S. pressure on Tehran, The New Region reported.

Hajj Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, the secretary-general of Iraq's Iran-backed Hezbollah Brigades, said in a statement that "we address our call to our mujahideen brothers in the east and west of the earth ... to prepare for a comprehensive war in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the fortress and pride of the nation, which has stood for more than four decades alongside the oppressed and all the just causes of the nation of Muhammad."

Hamidawi's message was released shortly after reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in the Middle East and entered striking range of Iran, amid repeated threats by President Donald Trump to intervene should a crackdown on protesters escalate.

Hamidawi emphasized in his statement that "we affirm to the enemies that the war on the Republic will not be a picnic; rather, you will taste the bitterest forms of death, and nothing will remain of you in our region."

The group was designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. in 2009. Washington has repeatedly called on the disarmament of armed groups within Iraq, saying that the presence of such factions undermines Iraq's sovereignty, according to The New Region.

The U.S. has increased efforts to curb Tehran's influence in Iraq, particularly by targeting Iran-backed militias such as the Hezbollah Brigades, as well as financial entities and networks that finance the militias and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. (Newsmax) Read more here.  

Holy One, it seems that nowadays, no matter where we turn, we can hear the sound of the drumbeats of war. Whether these sounds of war are coming from the north, the south, the east or the west, we do hear this noise. Lord God, we place the "sound of war" in Your Mighty Hands, for we know that You are in charge, and You have alraedy determined the course of man. In this season, Lord God, we ask that You release the full measure of Your anointing upon the head of our President, Donald John Trump. May he know what to do; when to move; and how to bring victory to our land. Thank You, Holy One, for hearing our prayer. Amen and amen!

"To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
... A time of war,
And a time of peace."

The far-left network that helped put Alex Pretti in harm's way, then made him a martyr
Editor's note:

This article is VERY LONG and VERY WELL WORTH STUDYING. In it, the author tracks the many nefarious, Communist-inspired organizatins that are working together to create a system of carefully woven CHAOS in many of our cities at this time in our nation's history.

There is a term in our language that may describe wshere we are now: HOODWINKED.
In this hour, have we all been hoodwinked by this hidden network of lies, so that it has
become nearly impossible to discern the truth? Help us, O Lord, we pray!

We encourage each one of you to take the time to study this material, and to agree that the wicked "spider's web" they have woven together can and will be obliterated by the Blood of the Lamb. Thank you!

2. "Thus far and NO FUTHER, and here shall your proud waves be STOPPED!" (Job 38:11)

3. "The LORD will restore what the locust has eaten . . ." (Joel 2:25)

4. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
(Isaiah 55:11)

 
Encrypted Signal messages show 'rapid responders' mobilized demonstrators to harass federal agents, then socialist groups capitalized on killing to foment protests  

The skirmish that led to Saturday's fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found.

A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired. 

ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations.

Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti's death is genuine, the network's real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.

Tracking Past Eruptions In Yellowstone Is Harder Than You Think

Yellowstone is infamous, having made it onto the small and prestigious list of “supervolcanoes.” This means it is one of just a handful of volcanoes that have produced an eruption of magnitude 8 at least once in their lifetimes. To make the cut, the eruption must result in the deposit of over 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers) of volcanic material.

But while geologists can say at least three extremely large eruptions have occurred over the last 2.1 million years, the full number of eruptions is a much harder figure to calculate. As scientists at Yellowstone Volcano Observatory explain in Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles, some past eruptions could be camouflaged, having been partially (and sometimes completely) hidden by eruptions that have occurred more recently.

This may be frustrating from an intellectual standpoint, but it has practical implications too. Knowing when, where, and how past eruptions occurred helps geologists predict the likelihood of a future eruption.

What Do Geologists Know About Yellowstone Eruptions?

The geological record shows there have been at least three eruptions explosive enough to produce a large volcanic crater (or caldera) — one 2.1 million years ago, one 1.3 million years ago, and another 631,000 years ago. Together, these volcanic cycles created the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field that we see today.

Smaller rhyolite lava flows occur more frequently. But while more common than the magnitude 8 supereruptions that capture popular imagination, these are still few and far between. The last known example took place around 70,000 years ago. (Discover Magazine) Read More
