Pete Hegseth Begins Monthly Prayer Meeting at the Pentagon:
‘This is Precisely Where I Need to Be’
|
|
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is helping America get back to the basics with the power of prayer. Hegseth held the prayer meeting for the Pentagon staff, which he says he plans to hold each month. “This is precisely where I need to be,” says Hegseth. “And I think exactly where we need to be as a nation, at this moment, in prayer, on bended knee, recognizing the providence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Hegseth points out that what starts at the Pentagon doesn’t stay at the Pentagon. Instead, it fans out wider flames throughout the United States. “There are so many things we do in this building and across this nation with such great consequence it’s almost unfathomable,” he says. “…knowing there’s an Author in heaven overseeing all of this, who has underwritten all of it for us on the cross gives me the strength to proceed…” Hegseth further remarked that we must appeal to the Lord for the wisdom, strength and courage necessary to carry out all that God has for our nation.

- Abba Father, we celebrate President Trump choosing an administration that seeks You in prayer for guidance and wisdom. We rejoice for the staff prayer meetings that will now be held monthly in the Pentagon and pray for hearts to be transformed! Bless Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and those in Trump's cabinet, for being bold and obedient to Your Call upon their lives. Father, our nation needs You now more than ever. May Your daily presence guide and steer every decision made by those You've placed in authority, so only Your holy plans and purposes prevail! In Jesus Christ's powerful Name we pray. Amen and Amen.

Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court to Lift Restrictions on Deportations to Third Countries
|
|
A lower court judge blocked the administration’s ability to remove illegal immigrants to South Sudan and other third countries.
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to block a lower court order restricting the ability of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deport illegal immigrants to nations other than their home countries.
“On behalf of a nationwide class of aliens with final orders of removal, the district court issued an extraordinary preliminary injunction that restrains DHS from exercising its undisputed statutory authority to remove an alien to a country not specifically identified in his removal order (i.e., a ’third country'), unless DHS first satisfies an onerous set of procedures invented by the district court to assess any potential claim under the Convention Against Torture,” the Justice Department said in a filing on May 27.
It also stated that “those judicially created procedures are currently wreaking havoc on the third country removal process,” noting that aliens lack the prior ties in these countries that would expose them to likely persecution or torture by country officials.
The administration said it had been removing people to South Sudan but was blocked by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts.
According to the department’s filing, the administration “was in the process of removing a group of criminal aliens who had been in the country for years or decades after receiving final orders of removal, despite having committed horrific crimes.”
That included, the filing says, people convicted of murder, sexually abusing a child, and sexually abusing a mentally handicapped woman.
“All these aliens have already received extensive legal process,“ it stated. ”All were tried and convicted in a criminal court, with all the process and protections afforded to criminal defendants. All were adjudicated removable.”
Murphy has issued multiple orders over the past few months blocking potential deportations. In April, he said that individuals should be given a chance to raise any concerns if they had reason to believed that their deportation to a new country would “likely result in their persecution, torture, and/or death.”
“This small modicum of process is mandated by the Constitution of the United States,” he added.
The DOJ argues that the rules outlining proper process for removing aliens to third countries was delegated by Congress to the president and it’s not for the judicial branch to devise “a new set of procedures.”
The injunction, however, substantially changes the third-country removal policy. (Read more here) Source: The Epoch Times

- Abba, the Judicial Branch of our government has gone completely off the rails, making determinations for aliens that are not within their jurisdiction. Abba, we all need Your help. We ask You to intervene with SCOTUS to create laws that will curtail any Judge, no matter their position, from usurping legal authority that belongs to the Executive Branch. Lord God, we ask You to create clear boundaries that will easily define and delineate overstep from either side, Judicial or Executive. President Trump is keeping the promise he was elected to implement. On the other hand, Joe Biden, while he was in office, allowed the Judiciary to make decisions that far exceeded their lines of authority to accomplish his anti-American agenda. Lord God Almighty, we ask You to put an end to this agenda. We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies.

will find life, righteousness, and honor." (Proverbs 21:21)

Texas House passes bill requiring
Ten Commandments in classrooms;
Abbott expected to sign
|
|
Lawmakers in Texas have passed a bill that, if signed by the governor, would mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.
The Texas House of Representatives advanced Senate Bill 10 with an 82-46 vote Sunday. The legislation returns to the Senate for further consideration before reaching Gov. Greg Abbott's desk.
SB 10 requires schools to display a 16-by-20-inch poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in a conspicuous location in each classroom, with text legible to anyone with average vision. Schools may accept private donations to meet this requirement or use district funds to purchase the displays.
An amendment added by the House ensures that the state attorney general will defend schools against any lawsuits arising from the law, with taxpayers covering litigation costs.
Rep. Candy Noble, R-Lucas, who led the effort to pass the bill, argued during Saturday's session that it reflects values foundational to American education and society.
"Nothing is more deep-rooted in the fabric of our American tradition of education than the Ten Commandments," Noble said during Saturday's debate, which lasted over two and a half hours. (Christian Post) Read more here.

- Abba, the Ten Commandments are the laws You gave Your people Israel to follow before You sent Jesus. We ask for Your perfect will to be done on earth as it is in heaven with the signing of this bill into law. We ask Holy Spirit to pour out Your heart to those who feel this bill goes against our Constitution, and reveal to them how You see putting these Laws into each classroom as a reminder of what love looks like. Let each child's heart be impacted by these Commandments, and allow them to feel Your love for them as they read them. We cry out that You will send revival into Your schools and bring each child into a warm, loving relationship with You. We ask this in the name Jehovah Rohi, The Lord Our Shepherd.
- "And I will give you shepherds after my own heart,
who will guide you with knowledge and understanding." (Jeremiah 3:15)

Broadway star Patti LuPone says Trump-led Kennedy Center 'should get blown up'
|
|
Broadway veteran Patti LuPone lashed out at President Donald Trump for his overhaul of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and called for the building to "get blown up," in an interview published Monday.
In February, Trump fired several Kennedy Center board members, including the president and chairman, and replaced them with pro-Trump figures, who then named the president as chairman.
In a post to Truth Social announcing the changes, Trump vowed to make the performing arts center "great again," by removing board members who did not share his administration's "vision for a Golden Age in arts and culture." Trump said that drag shows "targeting" children were one example of programming at the Kennedy Center that would end under his leadership.
His actions stirred backlash in the theater and film world, with multiple artists resigning from their roles or canceling upcoming performances at the Kennedy Center in protest.
Richard Grenell, president of the Kennedy Center, slammed LuPone's comments in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"The far left has morphed into violent extremists. This is completely unacceptable – from the same people who claim to be for tolerance and diversity. Everyone should condemn these radicals," Grenell said. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, the enemy is still attacking Your son, Donald, through those whose hearts have become hardened toward You. We ask Holy Spirit to speak directly to Ms. Lupone, bring healing to her heart, mind and spirit, let Your peace flow through her, let Your presence reveal to her Your love for her, bring her into Your rest. Father God, we ask this for Ms. Lupone, but also for every heart that has given the enemy access through anger and broken-heartedness. Reveal Your "Father's Heart" to each one, break through the lies that they believe about You, Your son and themselves, bring them into truth, freedom and rest. We ask for Your angels of protection to cover President Trump, his family, his administration, all that is precious to him. Give him eyes to see Your hand moving to establish Your Kingdom here on earth as in heaven We ask this in the name El Shaddai, Mighty God, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "For you are my hiding place; you
protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory."

Biden Only Signed 12 of 162 Executive Orders!
|
|
Shocking but not surprising! Reports now confirm that nearly EVERY executive order—potentially 150 (93%) out of 162 in total—bears an IDENTICAL autopen signature, a mechanical stamp, not by Biden’s hand. The Oversight Project, a Heritage Foundation initiative, dropped this bombshell, exposing that Biden’s July 2024 withdrawal from the presidential race was the only document with a different signature. This raises a chilling question: Who was running the country?
Legally, executive orders derive their authority from the president’s Article II powers; without his approval, they’re invalid, as only the president can delegate such authority. If a presidential administrator forged or signed an executive order without the president’s awareness or consent, it could constitute forgery, false pretenses, or fraud. Intent matters—prosecution would hinge on proving the administrator knowingly deceived others, intending to usurp executive authority or mislead federal entities into acting on an invalid order.
The press has been buzzing since House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed a jaw-dropping encounter with Biden in 2024. Johnson claims Biden had NO recollection of signing an executive order pausing liquefied natural gas exports—a move that crippled energy markets. “He didn’t know what he signed,” Johnson told The Free Press, describing a frail, confused Biden oblivious to his own administration’s actions. Something stinks here.
But it gets darker. Some reports—like those from Revolver News and posts on X—allege shadowy figures controlled the autopen. Names like Tony Blinken and an unnamed White House lawyer have surfaced as potential puppet masters, signing HUNDREDS of documents without Biden’s knowledge. The Oversight Project ominously warns, “Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency.”
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey is demanding a DOJ probe, arguing that if Biden’s cognitive decline—widely documented after his disastrous June 2024 debate—left him unaware, unelected staffers could’ve pushed radical policies under his name. “If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all actions are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and LEGALLY VOID,” Bailey thundered on X.
The implications are terrifying. Pardons for political allies, energy-killing regulations, border policies—ALL could be nullified if courts rule these were rubber-stamped by staff, not Biden. (Act for America) Read more here.

- Abba, the United States needs Your help. The Biden era continues to surprise us with the depth of illegal and anti-American decisions and actions which were portrayed as former President Biden's decisions. Now they have proven to not be true. We ask You to provide transparency of all things done in the dark, so that every Autopen Executive Order that was not specifically authorized by former President Biden be brought out into the open. We ask for the truth of who did these things to be made public. We ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies, the Lord who commands legions of men and angels.
- "The foundations of law and order have collapsed.
What can the righteous do?
But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still
rules from heaven. He watches everyone
closely, examining every person on earth."

1. ‘We got him’ – Netanyahu confirms death of Mohammed Sinwar
- World Israel News
In a dramatic address to the Knesset today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a major victory in the ongoing war against Hamas, confirming the elimination of Mohammed Sinwar, the de facto leader of the terrorist group in Gaza.
“We have eliminated Mohammed Deif, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohammed Sinwar,” Netanyahu declared.
The operation, conducted on May 4, 2025, beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, is a critical blow to the group, which continues to hold 58 Israeli hostages in Gaza’s sprawling tunnel network.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich commented on the latest developments surrounding negotiations for a hostage release deal on Wednesday evening, expressing strong opposition to a partial agreement with Hamas, as reported earlier.
"Hamas is under pressure and in great distress in recent days due to changes in the aid distribution system and its loss of control over the population in the Gaza Strip, combined with ongoing military pressure," he stated.
Smotrich emphasized that Israel must continue to apply increasing pressure: "We need to keep tightening the noose around its neck and force it into a complete surrender deal with all hostages released at once." (Read more)

3. Israeli Air Force destroys final Houthi aircraft in Sana’a - JNS
The Israeli Air Force struck Sana’a International Airport on Wednesday, destroying the last operational aircraft used by the Houthi terrorist organization, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we established: Whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price,” Katz stated following the strike.
The attack follows an Israeli operation on May 6 that eliminated other aircraft at the same site.
Katz emphasized that Israeli forces will continue to target strategic Houthi assets. “The ports in Yemen will continue to be struck heavily, and the airport in Sana’a will be destroyed again and again,” he said. “The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade, as we committed and warned. Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold.” (Read more)

4. IDF Uses New ‘Iron Beam’ Laser to Intercept Threats - Jewish Press
The Israeli Air Force used a new high-power laser defense system to take out aerial threats during the Iron Swords War that began on October 7, 2023, officials announced Wednesday.
The Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D), the Israeli Air Force (IAF), and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems accelerated development of new high-tech interception systems so they could be used in the field, according to the communique.
“As a result of this initiative, soldiers from the IAF Aerial Defense Array operated high-power laser system prototypes in the field, successfully intercepting scores of enemy threats,” the Defense Ministry said.
These systems are based on technological breakthroughs developed over decades at Rafael in cooperation with the ministry. (Read more)

5. Global Leaders Sound Alarm on Surge of Antisemitism at IHRA Conference
- Algemeiner
British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis warned that anti-Zionism has become “the new antisemitism,” amid mounting global concern over a surge in antisemitic incidents and anti-Jewish hate crimes
Speaking at the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening, Mirvis asserted that anti-Zionism is increasingly being weaponized to mask anti-Jewish sentiment, disguised as legitimate political criticism of Israel.
Hosted by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, the annual IHRA conference — held last year in the United Kingdom — began with a moment of silence honoring the two Israeli embassy staffers murdered in Washington, DC, last week.
IHRA is an intergovernmental organization comprising dozens of countries dedicated to combating antisemitism and promoting Holocaust research and education. In 2016, IHRA adopted a “working definition” of antisemitismwhich in the ensuing years has been widely accepted by Jewish groups and lawmakers across the political spectrum. It is now used by hundreds of governing institutions, including the US State Department, European Union, and United Nations. (Read more)

1. America props up an Al Qaeda terror state - World Israel News
In March, the Trump administration laid out conditions for ending sanctions on Syria.
The new Islamic terrorist regime led by a former Al Qaeda terrorist that had taken over Syria was warned to “exclude foreign terrorist fighters from any official roles”, difficult to imagine considering that the country was being run by domestic and foreign terrorists, “and ensure the security and freedoms of Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities”. Especially Christians.
“Any adjustment to U.S. policy towards Syria’s interim authorities will be contingent on all of those steps being taken,” the terrorist regime was warned. This position was reaffirmed by the Trump administration in April at the UN Security Council.

2. Pastor Kidnapped At Gunpoint Recalls ‘Miracle’ That Saved Him - Million Voices
Tennessee Pastor Joshua Sullivan spoke to Fox News in May about his kidnapping in South Africa in April, recalling the “miracle” that saved his life. Sullivan was kidnapped by a group of masked men who broke into his church in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The men held him at gunpoint, took cellphones from his fellow parishioners, and drove away with Sullivan in his truck, Fox reported.
“They got me up, and they took me into my own vehicle. They got the keys from my vehicle, put me in it. All four of those men and me were inside of that vehicle. He immediately started to tell me, ‘So I know who you are. I know you’re American. I know you have money, and we’re going to kidnap you, and we’re going to get,’ he said, ‘5 million Rand,’ which is about $260,000,” Sullivan continued, noting that his biggest fear was they would kidnap his wife, so he did whatever the kidnappers asked.

4. America Likely Wouldn’t Exist If Christians Stayed Out Of Politics, Says Greg Laurie - Million Voices
Pastor Greg Laurie shared some deep thoughts in mid-May about Christians and our place in politics, and we wanted to share them with you today. Laurie’s post started by pointing out that “some people say, ‘Christians—especially pastors—should stay out of politics.'” His response to this? “Why?”
The gospel is needed in “every part of life,” Laurie continued, noting that this ” includes the public square, politics, and the halls of power.” Believers are needed in these arenas, but, more importantly, we need the gospel to guide us through. “And let’s be honest: if Christians hadn’t stepped into the political arena, there likely wouldn’t be a United States of America,” he added, before noting in an op-ed that a majority of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Christian, “27 had formal theological education,” and John Witherspoon was a Presbyterian minister.
Countless acts have since cultivated a movement toward greater religious freedom in public spaces, particularly schools. “The First Amendment says it clearly: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,'” Laurie added. “That’s not a wall of exclusion — it’s a shield of protection.” (Read more)

We thank You, Lord, for Your unwavering love for Your people. We praise You and know that You are still on the throne in this world, in this country, and in our hearts! Amen!

Stupidocrisy: Sanders admits Democrats a Real Threat to Democracy
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, May 28, 2025
For years, Democrats have sounded the alarm that Republicans are a threat to democracy. But when you peel back the rhetoric, it looks a lot like projection. Senator Bernie Sanders (Vt) recently agreed that his own party has become a “threat to democracy.” In a recent interview, Sanders acknowledged that the Democratic primary process has been unfair since at least 2008. In 2016, the Democratic National Committee selected Hillary Clinton over Sanders, leading to allegations of a rigged primary. In 2020, despite a crowded field, the party quickly coalesced around Joe Biden, effectively shutting down competition. Then in 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris was selected as the nominee without a primary.
While accusing Republicans of undermining democracy, Democrats in their controlled legislatures, judicial positions, media positions and state offices have implemented systems and policies that undermine election integrity. Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell detailed in his column “The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History” how Democratic officials weakened, altered, and eliminated laws designed to preserve election integrity. He highlighted how Mark Zuckerberg funded a “charitable” organization working with Barack Obama’s senior advisor David Plouffe, pouring over $400 million into assisting officials in Democratic strongholds on how elections were to be conducted. The media, of which over 90% say they are Democrats have set the bar for leftist propaganda and negativity toward anything conservative. Look at the lawfare. Read More

US warns Venezuela now poses 'highest risk' for American travelers
|
|
|
The United States government is advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to Venezuela and its borders.
Venezuela currently has the highest Travel Advisory with a level 4.
Per the U.S. Department of State, citizens are warned not to travel to Venezuela due to severe risks.
The risks include wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure.
Currently, more U.S. nationals are wrongfully detained in Venezuela than anywhere else in the world.
In March 2019, the DOS withdrew all diplomatic personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas and suspended operations.
This means there is no U.S. consulate operating in Venezuela and the U.S. government cannot provide routine or emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in Venezuela.
It is advised that any U.S. citizen currently in Venezuela should depart immediately. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, the regime in Venezuela is using its power against anyone who is against it. We ask for warrior angels to be released throughout that nation, let them intervene in all circumstances where American citizens are involved. We ask that those angels put in place defences needed to protect and release those being held on illegitimate charges. Change minds and move hearts to make decisions that are favorable to our people, and bring them home. We ask that those who are planning to go to Venezuela will have nightmares that will cause a change of heart and mind. Jesus, do what only You can do. Bring a righteous government into power so that the people of Venezuela can live in safety and peace. We ask this in the name El Roi, The God Who Sees Everything.

But when the wicked are in power, they groan."

Jeanine Pirro sworn in as interim US attorney, pledging 'no more mercy for criminals'
|
|
|
Jeanine Pirro took the oath of office to serve as the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., during an event in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi administered the oath alongside President Donald Trump. Pirro is serving as the interim U.S. attorney following the resignation of Ed Martin, Trump's initial pick to serve in the role.
"We need to send a message that justice will be honored in the District of Columbia," Pirro said after taking the oath. "My voice should be heard loud and clear: No more. No more tolerance of hatred. No more mercy for criminals."
"Violence will be addressed directly with the appropriate punishment, and this city will again become a shining city on a hill in an America that President Trump has promised to make great again and will make safe again," Pirro added.
Trump tapped "The Five" co-host for her new role earlier this month. Pirro has left Fox News Channel and a rotation of Fox News personalities will fill her seat on "The Five" until a new co-host is named.
The president noted Pirro's career in both the legal and media spaces ahead of her swearing in.
"Jeanine Pirro has been a wonderful addition to The Five over the last three years and a longtime beloved host across FOX News Media who contributed greatly to our success throughout her 14-year tenure. We wish her all the best in her new role in Washington," a spokesperson for FOX News Media said in a statement. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we praise You that President Trump has chosen Jeanine Pirro to fill this vital position in our city's government. We ask that You guide her with Your wisdom as she seeks to do Your will with every case she will judge. Once again, Holy One, we thank You that our President has chosen another strong voice to add to his cabinet. In Your Name, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
- "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)

NOAA forecasts above-average
Atlantic hurricane season
|
|
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologists predict six to 10 hurricanes, including three to five Category 3 or higher storms.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters are predicting an active Atlantic hurricane season with more storm activity than typical.
“We’re really looking at an above normal season,” said Ken Graham, a meteorologist and the director of the National Weather Service. “We’re calling for 13 to 19 named storms.”
Storms get names when their wind speeds reach 39 mph or higher. Six to 10 of the forecasted storms are expected to become hurricanes, with wind speeds exceeding 74 mph. NOAA expects three to five major hurricanes — Category 3 and above.
The forecasts do not predict if or where the hurricanes will make landfall or how many of these storms will strike U.S. coastlines. Still, now is the time to prepare, forecasters said.
“It’s a good time to go out there and get your supplies and your kit and put it together,” Graham said. “We’ve got to be ready. No lines for supplies today. No lines for gas, no lines for plywood, no lines for water.” Read More
