"I must say that when you gave me my Christological profile during ISDM, I became fascinated with your research. Now I must congratulate you for your book, Christological Astronomy. I haven't read it all or thoroughly digested it, but the spots at which I jumped in look very good. The premise that the heavens declare the glory of God is an item of faith that we all agree with, but most of us have never seen the implications of what that might mean. Keep up the good work!" —C.

US drops COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy children, pregnant women
|
|
|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stopped recommending routine COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant women and healthy children, U.S. health regulators said on Tuesday. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a video posted on social media platform X that the vaccines have been removed from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for those groups. Kennedy, a long-time vaccine skeptic whose department oversees the CDC, has been remaking the U.S. health system to align with President Donald Trump's goal of dramatically shrinking the federal government. "We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS's promise to Make America Healthy Again," Kennedy said.
The CDC had previously recommended updated COVID vaccines for everyone aged six months and older. Studies with hundreds of thousands of people around the world show that COVID-19 vaccination before and during pregnancy is safe, effective, and beneficial to both the pregnant woman and the baby, according to the CDC's website. But U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary said in the video that there was no evidence that healthy kids need routine COVID shots. Most countries have stopped recommending it for children, he added. "With the COVID-19 pandemic behind us, it is time to move forward," the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement. (Reuters) Read More Here |

- Father we thank You for the Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr, securing long-term protection for children and pregnant women from exposure to 'routine' Covid shots. We ask that You bless and protect him as he works within the Department of Health and Human Services to reveal truths. We declare in the Name of Jesus, that anything harmful to our bodies will be quickly exposed. We decree that wisdom for living long, healthy lives through the "Make America Healthy Again" agenda will be celebrated across our nation! In the powerful Blood and Name of Christ, we pray. Amen.
- "Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off." (Proverbs 24:14)

Trump's chief of staff is caught in sinister impersonation plot exposing America's most powerful players… until fatal slip reveals truth
|
|
Donald Trump's top advisor has fallen victim to a sinister scheme by hackers who infiltrated her phone and used artificial intelligence to impersonate her voice. The nefarious plot involved stolen data from the personal cellphone of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles that was then used to call some of American's most powerful people. Over the course of several weeks, high profile senators, governors and American business executives have received voicemails or messages from an unknown number claiming to be Wiles, Wall Street Journal reported.
The hackers came undone when they made the fatal mistake of asking questions that the president's closest aide would already know the answer to.
Wiles - who has been nicknamed 'Ice Maiden' - has been contacting associates urging them to disregard any unusual messages or calls from unknown numbers purporting to be her.
The FBI is now investigating the unusual situation, but do not believe that a foreign nation is behind it, sources told the publication. 'The FBI takes all threats against the president, his staff, and our cybersecurity with the utmost seriousness,' FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. 'Safeguarding our administration officials' ability to securely communicate to accomplish the president's mission is a top priority.' (Daily Mail) Read more here.
|
|
- Lord, we pray that You will find whoever has been doing this and bring accountability. We ask that Your Spirit visit Susie Wiles and grant her peace, along with all who have been victims of this crime.
- “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Supreme Court hands Trump win on revoking parole for 500K foreign nationals
|
|
|
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a lower court order that blocked the Trump administration from deporting roughly 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision is a near-term victory for President Donald Trump as he moves to crack down on border security and immigration priorities in his second term.
The order stays, for now, a lower court ruling that halted Trump's plans to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for some migrants living in the U.S., which allows individuals to live and work in the U.S. legally if they cannot work safely in their home country due to a disaster, armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions."
The stay, like many emergency orders handed down by the high court, was unsigned, and did not provide an explanation for the justices' thinking.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson did lay out their criticisms in a blistering dissent. (Fox News) Read more here.
|
|
- Thank You, Father, that this ruling will at least temporarily allow President Trump the ability to remove those who were given preferential treatment without serious vetting by the previous administration. We ask for Your wisdom and truth to cover our President as he seeks to protect Americans from harm.
- “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

Defense Intelligence Agency Employee Arrested, Accused of Feeding National Security Information to Foreign Nation
|
|
|
FBI officials announced Thursday that a 28-year-old Defense Intelligence Agency employee was arrested for allegedly attempting to transmit national defense information to an officer or agent of a foreign government, according to a press release.
The suspect, identified as Nathan Vilas Laatsch, was arrested in northern Virginia following an investigation launched after a tip that someone had “offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government.” In a statement posted to X, FBI Director Kash Patel said the case highlights “the persistent risk of insider threats.”
“This case underscores the persistent risk of insider threats. The FBI remains steadfast in protecting our national security and [many] thanks [to] our law enforcement partners for their critical support,” Patel wrote.
According to officials, court documents show Laatsch had been employed by the DIA since 2019, working in its Insider Threat Division and holding a Top Secret security clearance.
In March, the FBI received a tip about a potential threat and discovered an email in which the sender said he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was “willing to share classified information,” including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence and other assorted classified documentation.”
Laatsch unknowingly began communicating with an undercover FBI agent, believing they were an official of the foreign government. The 28-year-old allegedly transcribed classified information onto a notepad at his desk and, over the course of approximately three days, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace.
By May, Laatsch was surveilled by the FBI at a drop location, handing off a thumb drive containing classified information, according to officials.
“Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels,” the press release states. “The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include “a decent sample size” of classified information to “decently demonstrate the range of types of products” to which he had access.”
Between May 15 and May 27, Laatsch allegedly gathered more classified information, telling the undercover agent he would consider “citizenship for your country” or “other compensation.” As the 28-year-old prepared to deliver a second batch of materials on Thursday, FBI officials then arrested the former DIA employee. (Western Journal) Read more here.
|
|
- Father, we praise You for revealing this situation and for the arrest of Nathan Vilas Laatsch. We ask for Your Spirit of repentance to fall upon this man, and that he would then have a change of heart. We also pray for true accountability, so this crime will not happen again.
- “No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.” (Isaiah 54:17)

Huckabee slams French-backed Palestinian statehood push at UN, says US-Israel are 'inseparably' linked
|
|
|
The United States will not participate in a conference next month in New York City hosted by France and Saudi Arabia aimed at promoting the recognition of a Palestinian state, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview in Jerusalem earlier this week.
"It’s incredibly inappropriate in the midst of a war that Israel is dealing with to go out and present something that I think increasingly Israelis are steadfast against.
"Oct. 7 changed a lot of things. If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them–carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation. And I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing.
I hope they will reconsider but the U.S. will not participate. It simply will not be a part of such a ruse," he added.
Huckabee, commenting on recently reported tensions between the two close allies, noted there may be disagreements between the Trump administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, but there should be no fear of a rupture in bilateral ties.
As far as the relationship between Israel and the U.S., that is not in any way at risk, nor is it in any way splintered or fractured. It’s solid, it has to be. We don’t have a choice. It’s critically important that the United States maintains its partnership—and I use that word very deliberately—it’s not a friendship, it’s not an alliance, it’s a partnership, which means we are yoked together in our intelligence sharing, military — so many ways in which our nations are linked inseparably."
On talks between Washington and Tehran, the ambassador described the Islamic Republic as "one of the if not the greatest, threats to world peace," warning that it poses a serious and immediate existential threat not only to Israel, but also to several Gulf nations and ultimately to the United States.
"The Iranians have said Israel is the ‘Little Satan,’ but America is the ‘Great Satan.’ They’ve always treated Israel as the appetizer and the United States as the entrée," he said. "It’s just important when people tell you over and over for 46 years they plan to kill you, you might want to start taking them seriously."
Nevertheless, Huckabee expressed hope that ongoing nuclear negotiations between the two nations would be successful and avoid any kind of military conflict.
"But when diplomacy fails, the soldiers show up," he said. (Fox News) Read much more

- Father God, we thank You, with joy, that Mike Huckabee has been chosen to represent the United States as our ambassador to the nation of Israel. We honor his insight, his wisdom, and his perspective in all matters related to U.S.-Israeli relationships. We continue to undergird Ambassador Huckabee in all matters related to this challenging role. We pray for Psalm 91 protection over the ambassador and his family, as he continues to pursue his mission for our nation. We give You all praise, all honor, and all glory, in Jesus' name. Amen and amen!
- “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

2. Israel to increase military pressure on Hamas after group rejects Witkoff proposal - Israel National News
Israel is preparing to escalate military operations in the Gaza Strip, particularly in the northern region, after Hamas rejected the Witkoff ceasefire proposal—a move perceived in Jerusalem as a refusal to engage in the negotiation process.
According to reports, the decision to increase military pressure stems from assessments that Gaza Brigade Commander Az al-Din al-Haddad currently holds significant influence within the Strip and likely dictates Hamas's internal positions.
In addition to military actions, changes are anticipated concerning humanitarian aid, specifically the delivery of food trucks and the establishment of an additional food distribution center. Security officials indicate that altering food distribution significantly impacts Hamas and "undermines Hamas's foundations." (Read more)

3. Aid distribution group refutes false CNN claim that IDF killed 31 Gaza civilians
- World Israel News
Using footage from aid distribution sites as evidence, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) challenged claims by the BBC and CNN that the IDF fired on Gazan civilians on Sunday.
The media networks picked up the story from Palestinian sources who claimed that the IDF opened fire on civilians in the Tel al-Sultan area of Rafah, resulting in at least 31 deaths and many injuries.
However, the GHF released video footage from an aid distribution site at the time the attack was supposed to have occurred and refuted the false reporting.
The footage showed aid distribution carried out without any disruption.
The IDF released a statement: “The IDF is currently unaware of injuries caused by IDF fire within the Humanitarian Aid distribution site. The matter is still under review.” (Read more)

4. As Hamas falters in Gaza, rival gangs fight for control - World Israel News
As IDF operations continue to weaken Hamas in the Gaza Strip, rival gangs are reasserting themselves to gain control.
Al-Hadath, a Saudi news publication, has reported that Hamas has lost security control in Gaza, and factions are looting aid, stealing, and attacking residents.
The IDF reports that these groups behave like militias, are armed, steal from rivals and regular citizens, and defend themselves against Hamas.
Many of the gangs have existed for a long time and have been involved in smuggling electronics, drugs, and weapons from Egypt and Israel.
Hamas has made deals with many of these factions and even invited them to participate in the looting and massacre on October 7th. (Read more)

5. Israel: Secret IAEA report shows Iran nuclear program ‘not peaceful’- JNS
“Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program,” the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said on Saturday, referring to a recent International Atomic Energy Agency report that, for the first time in nearly 20 years, explicitly found Tehran guilty of violating its non-proliferation obligations.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog “presents a stark picture that serves as a clear warning sign,” the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
The report “strongly reinforces what Israel has been saying for years—the purpose of Iran’s nuclear program is not peaceful,” the Prime Minister’s Office statement continued.
“This is evident from the alarming scope of Iran’s uranium enrichment activity. Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever,” the statement read. (Read more)

1. Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Reinstates Trump Tariffs - Daily Caller
A federal appeals court temporarily paused a lower court ruling on Thursday blocking President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The United States Court of International Trade (CIT) blocked Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs, as well as earlier tariffs placed on China, Mexico and Canada, in a decision Wednesday that rejected his use of emergency authority.
“The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s order states. (Read more)
- Thank You, Lord, for allowing the President to at least temporarily do his job. We bind these lower courts tightly, and ask that You work in our leaders’ hearts to stop the continual blocking of everything that the President does. We ask You to loose the bonds of wrongful rulings that are tying up our government and grant freedom from them.
- “Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18)

2. Trump agency uncovers 'one of the largest' food stamp fraud, bribery schemes - Fox
A U.S. Department of Agriculture employee and five others are under arrest as of Friday morning, after allegedly misappropriating tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer food stamp funds.
"At [the] USDA, we are hyper-focused… on rooting out that waste, fraud and abuse, and… yesterday was, if not the largest, one of [the] largest stings," Secretary Brooke Rollins said on "Mornings with Maria" Friday.
"This is a new day, and President Trump promised, as he was traveling across the country over the last few years," she continued, "that it would not be the government that we know."
With the assistance of the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office, six individuals have been criminally charged with a bribe and fraud scheme that generated more than $66 million in unauthorized transactions under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps. (Fox News) Read more.
- Father, thank You that this plan was uncovered. We take your authority over all the “waste, fraud, and abuse” that has been rampant through the government and pray that every corner of the government would give up its secrets. We ask that justice come to all who have participated in it.

3: China targets US military members in overseas spy operations, former CIA station chief warns - Fox News
A former CIA station chief says China has U.S. military service members and government employees in the "crosshairs" of its overseas spy operations.
Jian Zhao and Li Tian, both active-duty Army soldiers, were arrested in early March after allegedly selling "Top Secret" information to individuals based in China, according to the Department of Justice. Zhao and Tian were both indicted by federal grand juries in Washington and Oregon.
Federal prosecutors allege Tian sold sensitive military information to former soldier Ruoyu Duan, who would allegedly receive money from individuals residing in China. Tian then allegedly received tens of thousands of dollars for selling the sensitive information.
Prosecutors said the incidents highlight efforts by China to use "cut-outs," known as people trusted by Chinese intelligence services, to gather sensitive information that could help the Chinese government. Those "cut-outs" then recruit individuals with access to or knowledge of U.S. government information, which includes current and former government officials.
According to the court documents, security video showed Tian allegedly brought his personal cellphone into a classified area of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington in May 2024, printed a classified document and left with it. He would allegedly return over three hours later with the document. Prosecutors also alleged that Tian took screenshots of sensitive information on several occasions. (Read more)
- Lord, we pray that You will root out all who plan evil against the United States. Let all secrets be revealed and dealt with according to your Word. We thank You that President Trump has moved to revoke the plans of China to spy on our nation and to
subvert Trump's plans to Make America Great Again. In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
- “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.” (Leviticus 19:11)

4. ‘We Found Stuff’: Dan Bongino Claims Room Full Of Evidence Found From Comey-Era FBI – Daily Caller
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino claimed that a room containing evidence, much of it linked to former director James Comey, was discovered.
Bongino appeared for a Thursday interview with “Fox & Friends,” where co-host Lawrence Jones asked him about Comey. The video can been seen here.
“Does he still have loyalists in the building?” he asked. “Because when I hear the FBI director saying you guys are finding boxes that are hidden — how does that happen in the Bureau?”
“Well, we were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were a lot of people up there who grabbed us by the arm the minute we came in and said, ‘Thank you for being here — we need to talk,’” he said. “There are people there who are really horrified at what happened.”
The deputy director added, “And there was a room, and we found stuff. A lot of stuff.”
“A hidden room?” one of the hosts asked.
“I wouldn’t call it hidden — but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us,” Bongino replied. “Then we found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era. We’re working our damnedest right now to declassify it.”
- Thank You, Lord for the FBI finding these items. We pray that justice for all who were targeted will come from this, and that all information will be properly released to the public.
- “When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” (Proverbs 21:15)

5. Trump Accuses China Of Violating Trade Agreement: ‘So Much For Being Mr. Nice Guy’ – Daily Wire
President Donald Trump said on Friday that China “HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT” with the United States as the administration continues to negotiate with the communist country on a larger trade deal.
Trump said that despite his efforts to “save” China from “a very bad situation,” the Chinese government did not abide by its deal with the United States. The president did not specify how China broke the agreement, but Trump’s top trade officials have said that China is slowing down trade talks and failing to fulfill its promises from the 90-day tariff truce struck between the two countries earlier this month.
“Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, ‘civil unrest.’ I saw what was happening and didn’t like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn’t want to see that happen,” Trump posted on Truth Social. (Read more)
- Lord, we ask for a massive move of Your Holy Spirit all across China, touching even its most hardened hearts. Bring true repentance, we pray, and an end to the rigid Communism that has caused problems throughout that nation and the rest of the world.
- “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.” (Acts 17:30)

6: Fed’s preferred inflation gauge cools to lowest level since September — calming rattled markets – New York Post
The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge cooled to its lowest level since last fall, helping to calm jittery markets Friday despite rising trade tensions between the US and China. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index rose just 2.1% in April compared with a year earlier, down from 2.3% in March and the lowest since September, according to data released Friday by the Commerce Department.
Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core PCE prices rose 2.5% from a year earlier, below the March figure of 2.7%, and the lowest in more than four years. Economists track core prices because they typically provide a better read on where inflation is headed.
The Commerce Department data came out hours after President Trump accused China of violating a tariff agreement, ramping up tensions in a trade war that has roiled global markets and businesses. Traders continued to bet that the U.S. central bank will cut its target for short-term borrowing costs in September.
At 11 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 45 points, or 0.1%, to 42,173, the S&P 500 lost 17 points, or 0.43%, to 5,894 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 103 points, or 0.5%, to 19,071. The figures show inflation is still declining from its post-pandemic spike, which reached the highest level in four decades in July 2022. (Read more)
- Thank You, Lord Jesus, for reducing the inflation that has plagued our nation for the last 4 years. We ask Your favor upon President Trump and grant him the wisdom and ability to make the US economy work for all Americans.
- “For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)

Trump FBI ends LGBT ‘pride’ activities: ‘Focused only on our core mission’
|
|
|
|
Employees at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been informed by leadership that there will be no official recognition of LGBTQ+ “pride month” this year and warned employees not to engage in “pride”-related activities on FBI time.
“I want to take the opportunity to make FBI leadership’s expectations clear: There should be no official FBI actions, events, or messaging regarding Pride Month,” wrote FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson in an email to the bureau’s assistant directors in charge and special agents, according to Fox News Digital, which obtained a copy of the communication.
While employees were told that they are free to do as they like outside work, “on FBI time, using FBI resources and your Bureau affiliation, you and your divisions are expected to take no official actions or issue any specific messaging,” said Williamson.
Williamson said that the directive is meant to ensure that the American people see we are focused only on our core mission.The FBI’s shift away from taxpayer-funded Pride Month theatrics is a win for efficiency,” explained DOGEai on X, an autonomous AI agent designed to analyze and uncover waste and inefficiencies in government spending and policy decisions.

- Father God, our hearts are filled with JOY as we read of this news from the FBI. We thank You, O God, that our taxpayer monies will not be used to fund any such frivilous activities during Pride Month, as stated by FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson. We pray that all other federal agencies and other federally funded project (such as the Kennedy Center) would also notify their own staffs of these changes. In Your Mighty Name, Holy One, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
- "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them." (Ephesians 5:3-6)

Ukraine destroys dozens of Russian warplanes with drone attack deep inside Russia
|
|
|
|
Ukrainian forces destroyed dozens of Russian warplanes with a drone attack on air bases deep within Russian territory on Sunday.
Ukrainian forces destroyed 40 aircraft in the attack, which an official says took more than a year to orchestrate. Russia's defense ministry confirmed the attack on Sunday, saying it struck five airfields.
The operation saw drones transported in containers carried by trucks deep into Russian territory, he said. The drones reportedly hit 41 planes stationed at several airfields on Sunday afternoon, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M aircraft, the official said.
Moscow has previously used Tupolev Tu-95 and Tu-22 long-range bombers to launch missiles at Ukraine, while A-50s are used to coordinate targets and detect air defenses and guided missiles.
The White House told Fox News that President Donald Trump and his administration were not warned of the attack ahead of time.
Ukraine says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy personally oversaw the drone attack. We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state and our people," Zelenskyy said in a statement.
The strike comes just a day before Ukrainian and Russian officials are set to meet for a second round of ceasefire talks in Istanbul, Turkey. (Fox News) Read more here.
- Father God, at times we are absolutely without words as we see the ways of the wicked. This act by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will totally obliterate the trust that these two nations have begun to establish with each other during their talks in Istanbul.
We thank You, O Lord, that You have provided for times like this, teaching us by Your Word to simply pray in the spirit, and allow You to have Your way among men. And so now, in obedience to Your Word, we will do exactly that. Thank you, O Lord, for hearing our Spirit-led prayers, in Your Name, amen and amen.
- "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26)

FBI investigating 'targeted terror attack' in Boulder, Colorado, Kash Patel says
|
|
|
|
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a "targeted terror attack" where multiple people were set on fire Sunday afternoon near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado.
At about 1:26 p.m. local time, officers with the Boulder Police Department were called to the county courthouse on Pearl Street for reports of a man, who had a weapon, setting people on fire, according to Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn.
The man, who has not yet been identified, was arrested at the scene without incident, Redfearn said.
The attack took place near an event put on by "Run for Their Lives," a grassroot organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
"We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a statement on X. "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available."
Redfearn said the area is not safe yet, as they are investigating a "vehicle of interest."
"This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street, and this act is unacceptable," he said. "I ask that you join me in thinking about our victims, the families of those victims, and everyone involved in this tragedy. Our hearts go out to them, and we are going to do everything we can to work as hard as we can throughout the evening to provide more information to get answers for everyone."
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis in a statement on X described the attack as a "heinous act of terror." "I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror," Polis wrote. "Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable. While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation."
Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said terrorism against Jews "does not stop at the Gaza border – it is already burning the streets of America. Today, in Boulder, Colorado, Jewish people marched with a moral and humane demand: to return the hostages," Danon wrote in a statement. "In response, the Jewish protesters were brutally attacked, with an attacker throwing a Molotov cocktails at them. Make no mistake – this is not a political protest, this is terrorism. The time for statements is over. It is time for concrete action to be taken against the instigators wherever they may be."
Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse added he is "praying hard for the victims."
It is unclear how many people were injured, though police confirmed some were life-threatening.
Boulder police did not release a motive. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we as Your children absolutely cannot and will not tolerate these acts of violence against Your Jewish people. We pray for those whose lives were endangered today, and ask that all will be healed in time. We ask for a thorough investigation into this attack; and we ask that our security agencies will be able to spot evildoers in the future before they strike. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen.

Who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 124:8)

THE CME HAS ARRIVED AND STORMS ARE UNDERWAY: A halo CME struck Earth's magnetic field on June 1st at 0542 UTC. The impact sparked a series of moderate (G2) to severe (G4) geomagnetic storms, which are still underway more than 18 hours later. So far, Northern Lights have been photographed as far south as latitude +30 N on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
Other notable low-latitude sightings include California, Colorado, Missouri, Utah, and maybe Louisiana. There's no guarantee of a repeat display tonight. However, sky watchers should remain alert for auroras as the solar wind in the wake of the CME is blowing faster than 900 km/s. (Read more)

(Fox News) A 1,600-year-old Byzantine-era mosaic from a Christian monastery was recently put on public display for the first time, giving a glimpse into life during ancient times.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement about the unveiling of the Be’er Shema mosaic earlier this week. The mosaic was officially opened to the public at the Merhavim Regional Council complex in the Southern District of Israel on Sunday.
The ministry described the art piece as "one of the most impressive mosaics discovered in the south of the country."
"The approximately 1,600-year-old colorful mosaic presents 55 medallions decorated with hunting scenes, animals and scenes of everyday life," the statement also noted.
The mosaic has 55 medallions, with each telling its own story. Archaeologist Shaike Lender said the scenes depict "mythological characters, baskets of fruit, exotic animals, scenes from everyday life, hunting scenes and more." Read More
