NBA Player Who Refused to Kneel Has Made It His Mission to Show Bible Scripture to Millions
|
|
|
If you pay close attention to the news every day, you might have developed some kind of anxiety disorder. At minimum, you probably reach a point of exhaustion from time to time. We might call it “Outrage Fatigue.” Thus, one craves stories that showcase people whose work spreads light amid relentless darkness. For instance, earlier this month, Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac, who famously refused to kneel for the national anthem during the Black Lives Matter madness of 2020, appeared on the “Bold and Blunt” podcast with Cheryl Chumley of The Washington Times to discuss his Christian-themed apparel company, Unitus. “There are visible Bible verses on the outside of the shoes and on a lot of the clothes,” Isaac said during the interview. “For me, what it represents is a touchpoint … that keeps me connected to Christ in my thoughts.”
Indeed, the Unitus website describes the company as “a faith-forward footwear and apparel brand designed to help believers stay connected to Christ.” The basketball star announced his company’s signature shoe, the Judah 1, in November 2023. “I can’t wait to lace ’em up,” Isaac said at the time in a promotional video posted to social media. “And I’ll be saying to myself 2nd Corinthians 4:9. It says, ‘Persecuted but not abandoned. Struck down but not destroyed.’ And I’ll walk on that court.” Then, the power forward took his mission a step further. In July 2024, for instance, Isaac helped distribute his basketball shoes to a group of fatherless boys. Clips posted to the social media platform Instagram showed the boys receiving their shoes and then looking up the accompanying Bible verses. “I AM that I AM,” one smiling boy said as he read Exodus 3:14 after receiving a pair of the Judah 1 Exodus.

- Father, we praise You for using Christian men of influence to share Your Word and inspire faith into the lives of many. We pray Your continual blessing over the life of basketball player Jonathan Isaac, for his bold stance across the air-waves, not compromising his moral values to follow the ways of the world. We celebrate all brothers and sisters in Christ as they walk by faith and not by sight, being obedient to Your Call upon their lives. Pour Your favor upon every believer and all Christian entrepreneurs, as they seek Your holy ways to make a lasting impact for the GLORY of Christ! In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

House Exposes Biden HHS Role in Child Sex Trafficking; Dems Have Little to Say on Lost Kids
|
|
|
Higgins' anger was focused especially on one heart-breaking fact— Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials have lost track of an estimated 300,000 Unaccompanied Migrant Children (UMCs) they turned over, with the help of the NGOs, to largely unvetted sponsors, many of whom experts say were linked to Mexican drug cartel sex and forced labor trafficking.
"It was a pipeline, man, we set up a pipeline of tender-age children into sex trafficking and slave labor," Higgins finally exclaimed, fists clutched near his chest.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to find all of these children with the same controversial raids of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in which agents detain illegal immigrants with criminal records for deportation and often also find lost UMCs.
More will be found, and the persons responsible for their abuse will be prosecuted, according to Higgins, who told the hearing that 35,000 "tender-age kids" have been rescued so far under Trump.
"Be advised that we are building our criminal case files. We're interviewing these 35,000 kids, and we're finding out exactly what the Hell happened, how they ended up in the nightmare where they were," Higgins warned. "And we're rescuing more—and there's nothing anybody can do about it. We're going to identify these children, locate these children, rescu[e] these children. ... And many of these NGO employees are going to find themselves wearing orange."
The key factor in HHS losing so many UMCs is federal officials relied too heavily on well-funded NGOs to provide supposedly screened sponsors to accept responsibility for the children while their cases went through the immigration system, according to Ali Hooper, president of Guiding Understanding, Awareness, Research and Defense Against Trafficking (GUARD), a non-profit investigative research group.
"In interviews with cartel members incarcerated for human trafficking, they explained how weak sponsor verification incentivized trafficking by enabling cartels to control children's placement by supplying children with exact sponsor information, allowing control over their destination," Hooper told the committee.

- Mighty God, we know the last administration was allowing children to be just thrown into the clutches of the most depraved forms of humanity without any measure of protection. We thank You that President Trump, Rep Higgins and so many other leaders are taking a very active, strong stance in overthrowing the wickedness that is being perpetrated on these children by rescuing them and prosecuting the criminals. HalleluJah for righteous people to do right, in Jesus name. We pray for quick and powerful recoveries to begin snowballing in this nation and the children protected, so that You Abba and righteousness become their heritage, in Jesus' name.
- "Then I said, 'What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury!' . . . Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, 'So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied.' And all the assembly said, 'Amen!' and praised the Lord. Then the people did according to this promise." (Nehemiah 5:9-10, 13)

As the Deep State Begins to Be Exposed, Whistleblowers Start Coming Forward
|
|
|
Appearing Sunday on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard dropped a stunning accusation: that Barack Obama personally directed a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Donald Trump's presidency before it even began. And now, according to Gabbard, the floodgates are opening—whistleblowers who were sickened by what they witnessed are starting to come forward.
"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said. She pointed to more than 100 newly released documents that she says show how Obama, just weeks before leaving office, greenlit a coordinated effort to sabotage Trump—after he was elected. "This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American."
According to Gabbard, Obama and his inner circle simply refused to accept the outcome of the 2016 election. Instead of stepping aside and respecting the will of the people, they weaponized the intelligence community and pushed a phony Russia narrative to kneecap Trump before he even took office.
"They decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do," she said. "So, creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment... that said exactly the opposite—that Russia neither had the intent nor the capability to 'hack' the United States election."
That "manufactured intelligence" became the foundation for the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Obama ordered to be published in January 2017—a political hit job disguised as a national security report. Gabbard didn't hold back in describing just how dangerous that deception really was.
"There's no question in my mind that this Intelligence Community Assessment... contained a manufactured intelligence document," she said. "It's worse than even politicization of intelligence—it was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama's and his team's objective, which was undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will of the American people."
This wasn't politics—it was a coup. And Gabbard says more is coming.
"[This] week we will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people," she said. (Breaking Christian News) Read more here.

- Righteous Father, we give You praise for the truth coming out to the public arena because it cannot remain hidden. You set people free with the truth, and there are so many who can no longer restrain the deceptions within themselves. We pray for them to find peace in their repentance, in Jesus name. We also pray for order, affirmations and precision in the revelations that come forth from the whistle-blowers. We ask Father for protection for Tulsi Gabbard and all who are opening the floodgates for righteousness, in Your name.
- "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)

Biden-era policy indirectly paying for unaccompanied minors' abortions rescinded by Trump DOJ
|
|
|
The Trump administration reversed a Biden-era legal opinion from the Department of Justice on Thursday that permitted taxpayer dollars to be used for ancillary services associated with helping someone obtain an abortion, such as transportation costs.
The policy was particularly used in aiding unaccompanied minor migrants to get abortions, according to the Trump administration.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, the Health and Human Services Department took the view that taxpayer dollars – even though prohibited by Congress from being used to pay for abortions directly under the Hyde Amendment – could be used to provide transportation services for patients seeking an abortion. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), charged with interpreting the laws for the president and executive branch agencies, agreed at the time under the Biden administration.
However, that interpretation and opinion have been upended after Trump's OLC issued a new one Thursday that bars taxpayer funds from going toward any "ancillary services" that might help someone get an abortion. (Fox News) Read more here.

- We give thanks and praise Father, that this unconscionable action done to minors, has been stopped. We decry the evil deeds that have been done with our taxpayer dollars and declare that we will stay present and aware of the activities of government agencies, so such things never happen again, in Jesus name.
- "Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Will send leanness among his fat ones; And under his glory He will kindle a burning Like the burning of a fire." (Isaiah 10:16)

Trump calls for Obama to be criminally investigated, says he was Russiagate 'ringleader'
|
|
|
Gabbard sent a criminal referral to the DOJ related to Obama-era officials involved in origins of Russia probe
|
|
|
President Donald Trump claimed that former President Barack Obama was the "ringleader" of Russiagate, calling for him to be criminally investigated amid new claims that members of his administration allegedly "manufactured" intelligence that prompted the Trump–Russia collusion narrative.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that claimed that after Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Obama and his national security team allegedly laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe.
Gabbard said the documents revealed that Obama administration officials "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to allegedly create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise.
The new documents name Obama, top officials on his National Security Council, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, national security advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, among others.
Gabbard, on Monday, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department related to those findings. Department of Justice officials did not share further details on whom the criminal referral was for. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, You know the truth around the allegations of President Obama being the person who set in motion the Russia Hoax information about President Trump. We ask You, Father God, to bring forth Your truth, we ask that nothing be allowed to remain in darkness, that You will guide and direct all investigations. Holy Spirit, we ask You to move on hearts that have known information for years but remained silent. Give them confidence that You will make the way for them to be honest and open and free their conscience to finally be at peace. We ask You to make Your view of all that has happened very obvious to any who were willing participants in creating the fictitious story of Trump working with Putin to ensure his victory. We ask this in the name Jehovah Tsidkenu, The Lord Our Righteousness.

make the righteous secure -- you, the
righteous God who probes minds and hearts."

1. Israel asserts authority over Cave of Patriarchs after Palestinians block renovation plans - JNS
Israel recently reassumed administrative control over the Cave of the Patriarchs in the Judean city of Hebron after Palestinian Authority and Islamic officials refused to coordinate on renovations at the holy site, JNS has learned.
Jerusalem decided to start a process to transfer authority from the Islamic trust that has managed the site to the Kiryat Arba-Hebron Religious Council to improve infrastructure for Jewish worshippers, Hebron’s international spokesperson confirmed to JNS on Tuesday.
Among the projects that are being advanced by the Israeli government are a plan to build a new roof over the Jacob’s Courtyard, where Jewish prayers are held, as well as the installation of a fire safety system. Both plans have long been delayed to P.A. opposition. (Read more)

2. Knesset to vote on bill supporting sovereignty in Judea and Samaria
- Israel National News
The Knesset plenum will vote tomorrow (Wednesday), just before the summer recess, on a proposal to support the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
The proposal is being advanced by Members of Knesset Dan Illouz, Simcha Rothman, and Oded Forer, and was approved yesterday by the Knesset Presidium.
The explanatory note for the proposal states: "The territories of Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley are an inseparable part of the historic homeland of the Jewish people. In light of the events of October 7 and the broad national consensus opposing the idea of establishing a Palestinian state, there is a growing understanding that a strategic, moral, and security move is necessary to ensure our future in this land.

4. Israel denies Gaza famine claims, says aid is entering Strip but not being distributed
- Times of Israel
Amid claims by the Hamas terror group of unprecedented starvation in the Gaza Strip in recent days, a senior Israeli security official said Tuesday that the military had not identified famine, while stressing that actions need to be taken to “stabilize the humanitarian situation.”
The official, speaking with reporters on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that recently there has been a significant drop in the amount of aid reaching Palestinians in the Strip, but blamed United Nations bodies for not collecting and distributing the food and supplies.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli military and Defense Ministry body responsible for coordinating aid deliveries to Gaza, said that some 950 trucks worth of supplies are waiting to be collected by the UN from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings.

5. Defense Minister discusses potential for renewed campaign against Iran
- Jerusalem Post
Defense Minister Israel Katz indicated on Tuesday evening that Israel may consider resuming its campaign against Iran, during a situation assessment held with senior military leaders.
The meeting included key military figures such as Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, and heads of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, as well as additional IDF commanders and representatives from the Mossad and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).
Katz stressed the importance of maintaining Israel’s air superiority, which was achieved during Operation Rising Lion. He called for the development of an effective enforcement plan to prevent Iran from restoring its nuclear and missile programs.
Additionally, Katz confirmed the IDF’s stance consistent with the policy he previously outlined, stressing that the main goals of the current Israel-Hamas War are the return of all hostages and the defeat of Hamas. (Read more)

1. Exclusive: House Speaker Johnson Willing to Subpoena Former President Obama over Russia Investigation - CBN
In an exclusive interview with CBN News, House Speaker Mike Johnson says newly declassified documents implicating the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence to malign President Trump's first term is "deeply problematic."
Although news during Donald Trump's term has been coming fast and furious, the latest bombshell is downright startling.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents showing what she labels "overwhelming evidence" of former President Barack Obama and his national security team basically creating intelligence about Russia attempting to influence the 2016 election.
"It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama and his team's objective which was undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will of the American people," she told Fox's Maria Bartiromo.
Gabbard called the act a treasonous conspiracy. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is troubled, too. "Well, I don't know how to summarize it by way of description and a snappy phrase, but I will tell you, it is deeply problematic," he told CBN News.
Johnson added, "We recognize that the people who are being called out now were involved in a scheme. We knew that it was a shameless, false set of accusations, and yet they perpetuated the lie on the American people. And they looked right into the camera and just lied clearly, and they knew what they were up to the whole time. So there must be accountability for that." (Read more)
|
|
- We give You Praise Father, for Speaker Johnson's faith in You as he seeks to do the best job possible in the House of Representatives. We bless the House in their endeavors to subpoena the many layers of bad actors. We pray for all the work that must be done in response to these bombshell revelations from the Director of National Intelligence. We ask for sharp and shrewd prosecutions that are effective in ferreting out the truth from falsehood and defining the logical consequences established for the crimes, in Jesus name.
- "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6:2-3)

2. EXPLOSIVE: Senate Judiciary Committee Drops Bombshell on FBI’s Clinton Cover-Up — Declassifies and Releases Long-Hidden “Clinton Annex” to the Public
- The Gateway Pundit
The U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary has released a scathing statement exposing the FBI’s utter failure—if not outright refusal—to properly investigate Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the newly declassified “Clinton annex”—an appendix to the DOJ Inspector General’s 2018 report—shows that James Comey’s FBI deliberately ignored key evidence, stonewalled Congress, and prioritized politics over national security.
Grassley confirmed that the document, declassified at his request by Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, reveals how FBI brass—including Comey, McCabe, and disgraced agent Peter Strzok—buried damning evidence, including thumb drives with highly classified information that could’ve blown the lid off the Clinton-Obama cover-up. (Read more)
|
|
|
- Once again we give praise, Father, that You are enabling Senator Grassley, the Committee and all the others, to take a strong, firm, courageous stand against the pervasive darkness that has grown in our government over the years. We bless those who walk in wisdom, are able to discern right from wrong and can follow the convoluted trails to the sources of the corrupt words and deeds, in Jesus name. We pray again for clear-eyed prosecutions and that those who deal underhandedly would be exposed and removed, or even compelled to step aside and no longer hinder justice, in Jesus name.

3. FireAid Money Went to Group in Newsom’s Office; ‘California Native Vote Project’, Too - Breitbart
Money raised by Hollywood for victims of the Los Angeles fires through FireAid went to political groups like the California Native Vote Project — and to a state volunteer corps run by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.
The FireAid concert, on January 30, featured a star-studded lineup in two separate stadiums, and raised some $100 million in public donations, ostensibly to help victims of the Palisades and Eaton Fires.
As Breitbart News reported Sunday, there is a controversy over whether the money is being spent properly. On the one hand, as local ABC affiliate KABC-7 reported, the money is in fact being spent by organizations that received it. On the other, none of the money is going directly to fire victims, but only to nonprofit groups. Fire victims who have benefited from FireAid funds have only done so indirectly, through organizations. (Read more)

- Holy One, we ask You to intervene in the actions of the government of California against the homeowners of these burned-out regions. We know that there is a strong effort to take their homes and lands from them and we pray for righteousness, in Jesus name. This great amount of money is intended to be used for citizens to secure their lands, homes and futures, but greed seems to be interfering. We ask on behalf of these fire victims that You would be their strong tower, Abba and draw them to You and surround them with Your presence, in Jesus name.
- "For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet. He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah" (Psalm 47:2-4)

4. Outsourcing mania: Microsoft expands American layoffs while lobbying for even more foreign workers!- WND
"Your journey here ends today."
That was the message one Microsoft employee said she received when her job was abruptly terminated. Another described the experience as "paralyzing, refreshing emails, staring at the screen, heart racing with every ping." A third added, "There's been speculation for a while, but the scale of today's news still hits hard."
Earlier this week, WorldNetDaily reported that Microsoft announced major layoffs impacting workers in Washington and California, even as the company continued pursuing thousands of new foreign hires through the H-1B visa program. Since then, the number of layoffs has continued to rise, raising concerns that what began as cost-cutting may now reflect an even broader – and troubling – shift in Microsoft's labor strategy. (Read more)

- Mighty One, we pray for the American citizens who have recently been laid off in this situation. May they find You in the midst of this hard time and grow in strength and skills in order to stand against the tide that Microsoft is developing, in Jesus name. We pray for the leadership at this company to come under conviction of the Holy Spirit and operate in a just and righteous manner, in Jesus name.
- "'And when He [Holy Spirit] has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.'" (John 16:8-10)

5. Trump: Cashless Bail a ‘Complete Disaster, and Must Be Ended IMMEDIATELY’ - Breitbart
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to demand the elimination of cashless bail, saying the policy has failed and is endangering public safety.
“Crime in American Cities started to significantly rise when they went to CASHLESS BAIL,” President Trump posted on Monday. “The WORST criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers. It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump’s message echoes concerns he has voiced repeatedly on the campaign trail. At a Bronx rally in May of last year, Trump decried “radical left pro-crime policies” that he said have “destroyed” cities like New York.
“You know the names of these lunatic policies: No cash bail… defund our great police, sanctuary cities, release violent repeat offenders from jail,” Trump asserted at the time. He pointed to the tragic death of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller — fatally shot during a traffic stop in March by a suspect with 21 prior arrests — as a direct consequence of these policies. “These dangerous and violent repeat offenders should never have been on our streets. Jonathan should be alive today, but they were released again and again and again,” he stated. (Read more)

Just Judge, it is impossible to reconcile allowing criminals to freely roam our streets because the justice system will not keep them in jail. This has been going on for some time, and we join with President Trump in calling for criminals to be kept in jail until they can face their accusers in a court of law. We pray for more jail and prison ministries to share the Good News with those who are incarcerated. We know that You are the One who can change these hardened hearts into hearts of flesh and turn them from wickedness to righteousness because You are Almighty God, Savior, Redeemer and Friend and we bless You for touching and changing lives.
"'Again, when I say to the wicked, "You shall surely die," if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.'" (Ezekiel 33:14-16)

6. REPORT: Illegal Alien Arrested After Border Patrol Agent Shot in the Face Was Wanted for Armed Robbery in Massachusetts - The Gateway Pundit
One of the two illegal aliens arrested this weekend after one of them allegedly shot a Border Patrol agent in the face in New York City, was reportedly wanted on armed robbery charges in Massachusetts.
Tom Homan reacted angrily to news of the shooting, vowing that ICE is going to ‘flood the zone’ in sanctuary cities.
The fact that one of these men was already wanted on armed robbery charges in another state is just a reminder of what Biden’s open border brought into the country. (Read more)

We most especially pray for the border patrol agent who was shot and ask Father, that You would heal and restore him and draw him and his family to Your light, in Jesus name.
- "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.

Russia sends message to Iran as joint naval drill launched in Caspian Sea
|
|
|
|
Russia sought to do this naval drill primarily to show it is still interested in joint cooperation with Iran.
|
|
|
Iran and Russia began the CASAREX 2025 naval drill on Monday, held in the Caspian Sea, which is seen as a way for both countries to assert their role in those waters, which lie north of Iran and south of Russia.
Although this has some significance, given that it is a joint drill, the fact that it’s taking place in the Caspian Sea illustrates certain features of the Iran-Russia relationship.
How Iran-Russia ties changed following Israel war
Moscow and Beijing did not come to Iran’s aid during the 12-day war with Israel. Neither sought to prevent the attacks on Iran nor appeared to care very much that their partner was being attacked. Even when the US intervened and bombed Iran, the two countries did not step up.
This is intriguing because as part of Russia and China’s drive for a new world order, one would assume they want Iran to be stronger. What they have shown is pragmatism, letting their Iranian partner be thrown under the bus and humiliated.
Russia is busy fighting in Ukraine. It has already suffered a loss of prestige in the Middle East with the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The weakening of Iran is another loss for Russia. As such, Moscow sought to conduct this naval drill primarily to demonstrate its continued interest in joint cooperation. (Jerusalem Post) Read more here.

- Lord God, we continue to stand watch over all the activity of Russia.
As they now maneuver to confirm their own support of Iran, we are not
alarmed, Holy One, because we know that You are the kihg o all kings
and the Lord of all Lords. We continue to pray in the Spirit, casting all our
care upon You, because we know that You care for us. Help us, O Lord,
to be faithful to "catch" anything that Russia does that would endanger
our peace. In Your Name, Holy One, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
- "For thus has the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he sees.”

DNI Gabbard: Obama Directed a ‘Treasonous Conspiracy’ Against Trump
|
|
|
|
On this week’s broadcast on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said former President Barack Obama directed a “treasonous conspiracy” against President Donald Trump during his first term.
Gabbard said, “The implications of this are, frankly, nothing short of historic. Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama if just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue — this is an issue that is so, so serious, it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.”
She added, “What we saw occur here as the documents we released detailed is that we had a sitting President of the United States and his cabinet and leadership team, quite frankly, who were not happy with the fact that President Trump had won the election, at the American people had chosen Donald J. Trump to be the next president, commander in chief of the United States. So they decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do. So creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia neither had the intent nor the capability to, quote-unquote, hack the United States election for the President of the United States. So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be, essentially, a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people.” (Breitbart) Read more here.

- Father God, the documents now released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard are shocking, to say the least. Father God, we have been raised to follow the laws of the Constitution and to follow the teachings of Your Word. In both cases, lies, treason, and false evidence are criminal actions. We thank You that this is now coming to light, and we ask that You would move on the hearts of our leaders to hold all treasonous actors responsible for their deeds, so that justice can once again rule in our land.

Trump again opts to withdraw United States from UNESCO
|
|
|
|
The Trump administration told Audrey Azoulay, director-general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, on Tuesday that Washington is withdrawing from the U.N. agency.
“Continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States,” the U.S. State Department stated.
“UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy,” Tammy Bruce, the department spokeswoman, stated.
“UNESCO’s decision to admit the ‘State of Palestine’ as a member state is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization,” Bruce stated. “Continued U.S. participation in international organizations will focus on advancing American interests with clarity and conviction.”
Bruce said that Washington will withdraw on Dec. 31. “The United States will remain a full member of UNESCO until that time,” Bruce stated.
Anna Kelly, deputy White House spokeswoman, told the New York Post that UNESCO “supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November.”
U.S. President Donald Trump called for a 90-day review of UNESCO in February, including probing “antisemitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.” (JNS.org) Read more here.

- Father God, we thank You that our President has now taken this action, as the agenda and the policies of UNESCO do not align with ours. Thank You, O Lord, that our taxpayer money will no longer be used to fund this antisemitic organization. We bind all backlash in the media that would try to attempt to challenge President Trump as he establishes this new agenda regarding our support of UNESCO. In Jesus' name, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!

Earth is spinning faster, leading timekeepers to consider an unprecedented move
|
|
|
Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers.
July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting 1.36 milliseconds less than 24 hours, according to data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the US Naval Observatory, compiled by timeanddate.com. More exceptionally short days are coming on July 22 and August 5, currently predicted to be 1.34 and 1.25 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours, respectively.
The length of a day is the time it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis —24 hours or 86,400 seconds on average. But in reality, each rotation is slightly irregular due to a variety of factors, such as the gravitational pull of the moon, seasonal changes in the atmosphere and the influence of Earth’s liquid core. As a result, a full rotation usually takes slightly less or slightly more than 86,400 seconds — a discrepancy of just milliseconds that doesn’t have any obvious effect on everyday life.
However these discrepancies can, in the long run, affect computers, satellites and telecommunications, which is why even the smallest time deviations are tracked using atomic clocks, which were introduced in 1955. Some experts believe this could lead to a scenario similar to the Y2K problem, which threatened to bring modern civilization to a halt. Read More

Yea, than much fine gold;

"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."
