Watch: West Point Crowd Cheers as Trump Uses Biblical Imagery About Combating the Devil in Commencement Address
|
|
|
President Donald Trump employed biblical language about overcoming the devil to the roaring approval of the audience while delivering a commencement address at West Point Saturday. Trump noted right at the outset of his speech to the approximately 1,000 cadets of the Class of 2025 that he had gone to high school very close by at the New York Military Academy, where he was named captain of cadets and captain of the varsity baseball team during his senior year of 1964. “I’ve been here [to West Point] many times, going to high school, not so far away. Good, a good place. Also, a military academy. Not quite of this distinction, but it was a lot of fun for me,” the president said of his boarding school experience.
Trump told the West Point cadets, “As you receive your commissions as Second Lieutenants, each of you continues down the same hallowed path walked by the titans and legends of U.S. Military lore. “Giants like Ulysses S. Grant, John ‘Black Jack’ Pershing, Dwight David Eisenhower, the one and only Douglas MacArthur, old blood and guts, George Patton, and Stormin’ Norman Schwarzkopf, all great.” The president also commended the students for the choice they made to attend the academy, which was founded by President Thomas Jefferson in 1802. “Each of you on the field today is among the most talented members of your generation. You could have done anything you wanted. You could have gone anywhere. You could have gone to any school. This is one of the hardest schools to get into,” he said. (Western Journal) Watch Video
- Father, we celebrate the encouraging and powerful Commencement Speech given by President Trump for cadets graduating from West Point Military Academy. We ask for Your blessing to rest upon each one and protection over them as they serve our nation. May they forever remember this important milestone in their life and be impacted by the words spoken over them on this day. We pray for tangible encounters with Jesus and for each one to grow in the saving knowledge of Christ as their Lord and Savior. Bless our Military and this next generation of heroes who've chosen with sacrificial hearts to love, honor and protect the United States of America! In the mighty and powerful Name of Yeshua, we offer this prayer, Amen and Amen.
- "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." (Deut. 31:6)

It’s taken a few days for the West to wake up to and realize the significance of strikes that are taking place and widening throughout Iran, and to report on these. What’s needed now is for Western leaders to take action that builds on these strikes and empowers the Iranian people to replace the Islamic Republic regime—a regime that has threatened both its own citizens and the world, causing immeasurable pain, suffering, trauma, and death for nearly five decades.
Massive national strikes are taking place specifically among truck drivers and bakers, so far, things that strike the core of the Iranian population. As of this writing, the strikes have expanded to 72 cities.
As a result, average Iranians are starving. They also have had their power and water cut. There are hundreds of videos of people bravely taking their protest to the streets, unmasked, knowing that at any moment the security police could turn on them and inflict inhuman carnage. Iranians know that the regime has done this before—using the police and imported hired thugs from its proxies around the world, ready to kill if the unrest becomes too uncomfortable for the ayatollahs.
I hope this time Western leaders will support the Iranian people. Now, in the midst of the widespread national strikes, is the best time to eliminate the key Iranian political/religious and military/terrorist leaders, and destroy their nuclear sites.
The Iranian people are ready for something happen. They are pleading Western leaders to help end their national captivity. They have begun to come to the streets to demonstrate this, and against the regime, and will continue to do so by the millions. The West must not betray them again as Presidents Obama and Biden did, or miss this historic opportunity. I experienced this firsthand among my cellmates in 2009 while imprisoned because of my faith in Tehran’s Evin Prison, and witnessed the torture as a result of the ayatollahs recognizing that Obama did not care about democracy in Iran, rampant misogyny, or the brutal abuse of human rights.

- Abba, we totally understand Ms. Amirizadeh's feelings and beliefs concerning the need to stop Iran from building an atomic bomb, but without You guiding and directing, it will never succeed. We ask Holy Spirit to dispatch Your warrior angels to fight this battle for us in the heavenlies. Speak to Your intercessors, Father, and guide them to pray this victory into the earth realm. Let their prayers bring the honor and glory due Your name! We decree and declare that the power of the enemy within the ayatollahs is bound and gagged, Jesus. You have already won this battle and we claim that victory NOW in Your mighty name. AMEN.
- "For the Lord your God is going with you!
He will fight for you against your
enemies, and he will give you victory."

Federal Court Blocks Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs
|
|
A federal court said on May 28 that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority when he declared a national emergency to impose sweeping baseline tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners earlier this year.
In a Wednesday ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade, a federal court based in New York, said it did not interpret the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to
mean that the president has the “authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world.”
“The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to ‘lay and collect Taxes, Duties,
Imposts and Excises,’ and to ’regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,'” the court ruling states.
On April 2, Trump declared a national trade emergency by invoking the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose a 10 percent baseline tariff on almost
all imports going into the United States, as well as higher reciprocal levies on many
countries.
That law allows the president to regulate imports, including increased import levies, under
extraordinary circumstances, like a national emergency.

- Abba, all of the legal information in this article is very confusing. We ask that Your perfect will be done in these circumstances. Move on minds and hearts of judges, lawyers and all who are involved in these suits, give them Your vision, wisdom and understanding and bring the final decision that You have intended from the beginning. We ask that You will accomplish for Your son, Donald, what he cannot do for himself in completing Your directions. We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
Your enemies cringe before your mighty power..."

President Trump Says We'll Know if Vladimir Putin is Serious About Peace in Two Weeks
|
|
President Donald Trump took questions from the press about what’s happening with Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations. Specifically, he was asked if he believed the Russians were being disrespectful. Then, he was asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin actually wants to end the war.
“I can’t tell you that, but I’ll let you know in about two weeks,” he said.
Negotiations appeared to be heading in the right direction for a brief period last week. Then, attacks ramped up from both sides. The escalation despite the Trump Administration’s efforts to end the war prompted President Trump to criticize Putin.
“At this point we’re working on President Putin, and we’ll see where we are,” he said. (Discern Report) Read more.

- Abba, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not something You want. We are asking Holy Spirit to speak to President Putin while he sleeps, in his dreams, in whatever way You know he will hear You. Give him an awareness of how brokenhearted You are about the incredible number of people, young and old, that have died in the midst of this war. Father God, we ask You to intervene, You know exactly what it will take for President Putin to change his mind and heart and we ask You to bring him to that point in whatever way You know is best. We ask for peace, healing and rest for both of these nations and their people. We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will destroy all of his enemies and rule with an iron rod.
- "With God's help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes." (Psalm 60:12)

1. Knesset votes to express support for sovereignty over Judea and Samaria - JNS
Israel’s Knesset passed a non-binding motion on Wednesday declaring its support for extending sovereignty to Judea and Samaria.
The motion, which was tabled by coalition and opposition members of the Land of Israel Caucus, passed without opposition. Knesset records showed that 15 Knesset members were present when the motion was put to a vote.
The initiative was spearheaded by Knesset members Simcha Rothman and Limor Son Har-Melech, who co-chair the Land of Israel Caucus, Dan Illouz (Likud Party) and Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu Party).
“With the understanding that these parts of the Land are inseparable from the homeland of the Jewish people, in light of the broad Israeli consensus against a Palestinian state, and to prevent the recurrence of the Oct. 7 disaster—applying Israeli law is a moral and necessary step for security and the realization of the Zionist vision,” the motion read.

2. 62 Anarchists Arrested After Storming Likud Party Offices - Jewish Press
Police arrested 62 people overnight Thursday during an illegal demonstration that quickly turned into a major riot and an invasion of Metzudat Ze’ev (Ze’ev’s fortress, named after Ze’ev Jabotinsky), the Likud party’s headquarters on King George Street in Tel Aviv. The rioters blocked major thoroughfares, lit bonfires, and broke into the Likud party’s offices.
The rioters chained themselves to the building’s steps, declaring their intention to stay in place to mark 600 days since the hostages were abducted. In the evening, a bonfire was lit on the road outside Ze’ev Fortress. Around 10:00 PM, police began forcibly removing the protesters.
By Thursday morning, 40 of the 62 detainees had been questioned, with most expected to be released on conditions, while a few will be brought in for a remanded detention. The suspects are accused of trespassing and causing damage to property. (Read more)

3. UN ‘mafia-like’ shakedown against independent aid delivery in Gaza, Israeli envoy says - JNS
As the Jewish state facilitates aid entry via the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation into the Strip, the United Nations is running a “mafia-like” shakedown and is spreading “panic” and making “declarations detached from reality,” Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.
“This is the gravest violation of the U.N.’s own principles,” he said. “It is the extortion of any well-meaning NGO that refuses to kiss the ring. A shakedown with U.N.-branding.”
Hamas knows that if it loses control over aid in Gaza, it will also lose its hold over Gazans, according to the Israeli envoy.
Danon told the Security Council that the global body removed non-governmental organizations, which are part of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, from its central system for tracking aid delivery in the Strip. (Read more)

4. Hamas demands changes to Witkoff's new Gaza ceasefire proposal
- Jerusalem Post
Hamas said Thursday it does not accept the outline of US envoy Steve Witkoff’s proposed ceasefire and hostage deal at face value and demands certain changes, according to people familiar with the matter.
Hamas feels deceived by the US administration, believing it has been “screwed over” with a pro-Israel proposal that does not guarantee an end to the war, an informed source familiar told The Jerusalem Post.
The information provided by the sources conflicts with reports published in Saudi newspaper Al-Hadath, which indicated that Hamas will shortly agree to a 60 day ceasefire in exchange for the release of 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18. As part of the proposal, the report claimed that 125 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,111 prisoners arrested after October 7, would also be released, and aid would be increased to the Gaza Strip.

1. The Middle Class Is Collapsing: Nearly 1 Out Of Every 4 Americans Is Now “Functionally Unemployed” – The Economic Collapse Blog
Do you ever feel like you are “functionally unemployed”? If so, you are definitely not alone. There are lots of people out there that cannot pay the bills each month even though they have jobs. In fact, there are lots of people out there that literally cannot afford to put a roof over their heads even though they are employed. Yes, there are many hard working Americans that are now living in their vehicles or in “tent communities” because that is all they can afford. In recent years, the cost of living has been rising much faster than paychecks have, and so now a substantial percentage of the population is living in a state of constant financial stress.
The middle class has been collapsing all around us, and we are witnessing an extraordinary amount of economic suffering all over the country right now.
For years, the federal government has been telling us that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is very low.
Everyone knows that is a bunch of hogwash.
According to a report that was recently released by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, the true rate of unemployment in the U.S. was 24.3 percent |
|
- Father God, although we read this report of how difficult the outlook is for the middle class, we have a hope in You to sustain us through all economic downturns that so often turn out to be temporary adjustments to our national monetary policies. We bless our leaders to see and understand what monetary forces are active in citizens' lives and to act accordingly. We pray that the public will be patient as tariffs come under scrutiny and adjustment by President Trump and that we, as a country, will look to You to provide for us during trying times. We pray that a spirit of generosity will come upon Your people to bless, through the gift of tithes and offerings, the churches and ministries that are laboring to edify and build up Christians everywhere knowing, that as they cast their bread upon the waters, it will return to them many fold over. Thank You, Lord, that we can rest under Your wings of provision at this time.

2. NATO Is On The Verge Of A Full-Blown War With Russia, And Firing Long-Range Missile Deep Into Russian Territory Isn’t Going To Lead To Peace – The Economic Collapse Blog
Do you remember when Joe Biden brought us to the brink of nuclear war by allowing the Ukrainians to fire long-range missiles provided by the United States deep into Russian territory? Unfortunately, western leaders have decided to do it again. I honestly have no idea what they are thinking. Every long-range missile that is fired deep into Russian territory brings us even closer to nuclear war. Just think about how we would respond if someone was firing long-range missiles at New York, Boston, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. We would nuke them. Let us hope that the Russians show restraint, because western leaders are now crossing a very dangerous line.
When I first learned what German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had said, I had a hard time believing it. According to Merz, all of the western nations that are providing Ukraine with long-range missiles have now given Ukraine permission to fire those missiles deep into Russian territory.
I’ll say the same thing that I said when Joe Biden originally gave Ukraine permission to fire long-range missiles provided by the U.S. deep into Russian territory.
This is literally insane.
And guess who will be picking the targets and providing the targeting information?
It won’t be the Ukrainians.
NATO is now on the verge of a full-blown war with Russia, and a full-blown war between NATO and Russia would inevitably go nuclear.
President Trump is our last hope for peace with Russia, but now it appears that he has totally lost patience with Vladimir Putin. (Read more)

- Dear Lord, we honor You as the one who rules the world and say that You and Your desire for peace among nations is stronger than the god of forces that would like to escalate an already brutal and deadly conflict. In the name of Jesus, we bind up this evil desire among those in this alliance and declare that cooler minds and the fear of God will prevail. Lord, we ask that You would do Your work, Your strange work, in this matter so that the ceasing of conflict will come about through Your plans and not man's. Remove who should be removed and promote who should be promoted. We speak peace, prosperity, and the spreading of the Gospel to this wounded and thirsty land.

3. The Japan Shock: Why America's Debt Crisis May Be Closer Than We Think – Prophecy Newswatch
There's a financial alarm bell ringing from across the Pacific, and it's one that every American--whether you're a seasoned investor or just trying to keep your 401(k) afloat--should be paying close attention to. Japan's government bond market is unraveling, and the implications could ripple straight into the heart of the U.S. economy.
What's happening isn't just about bond auctions and basis points. It's about what happens when trust in a government's ability to manage its debt starts to break down. And make no mistake: this could be a preview of our own future.
Let's break this down.
The Cracks in the World's Most Stable Bond Market
For decades, Japan has been the poster child for financial stability. Despite staggering public debt--over 260% of GDP--investors continued to buy its government bonds with blind faith, trusting that Japan's central bank and fiscal authorities would always keep the house in order. That faith is now faltering. (Read more)

- Father God, we lift up America’s economy to you. If we continue on the same path as Japan’s economy, we are looking at many problems. High interest rates, high mortgage rates, and a burden for future generations. Lord, you know and understand the world‘s economy. This money is your money, not ours. Please intervene with Japan’s and America’s economy. We need you to control it and help us. We pray Your will be done for our American economy. Give our business leaders the foresight to manage this. In Jesus' mighty name we pray, amen and amen.
- "He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income: this also is vanity." (Ecclesiastes 5:10)

On The JD Rucker Show, we’ve always said that revival is the ultimate key to saving the United States of America. On a recent episode, retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West reiterated this idea.
According to LTC West, he’s seeing an “awakening” on college campuses that should not be ignored. There are lunatics there as well, but a growing phenomenon of young Americans coming to Jesus Christ is noteworthy. (Read more) |

5. HHS Urges Medical Providers, States to Immediately Revise Gender Dysphoria Care Practices – The Epoch Times
The agency is now telling health care providers to no longer rely on previous ‘discredited guidelines’ for pediatric gender dysphoria.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is telling health care providers, risk managers, and state medical boards to immediately update their treatment protocols for minors with gender dysphoria.
In a letter on May 28, the agency said that it expects federally funded health care groups to follow its review that outlines the most up-to-date science to guide policies for pediatric gender dysphoria treatment. Its comprehensive review
was published earlier this month and found sufficient international evidence that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries pose significant risks, including irreversible sterilization.
After releasing its review, HHS said the recommended treatment plan is psychotherapy, citing it as a noninvasive alternative to “endocrine and surgical interventions for the treatment of pediatric gender dysphoria.” Some of the other cited risks include lower bone density and heart disease.
The agency is now telling health care providers to no longer rely on previous “discredited guidelines” for pediatric gender dysphoria, arguing there is “weak evidence and growing international retreat” from using puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries as the recommended approach for minors with the condition. (Read more)

|
- Holy God, thank you that you are our maker, and that you made each boy and each girl in your perfect image. We thank you for the new protocols for minors with gender dysphoria. We thank you that instead of performing surgeries which mutilate the bodies of these young ones, psychotherapy will now be recommended. We pray your will be done in this medical arena. Thank you, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We give You all the glory and praise in Jesus' name, amen and amen.
- "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful or your works; my soul knows it very well." (Psalm 139:14)

Prophetic Warning to President Trump:
Don’t Trust Iran
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, May 29, 2025
Amid reports of “progress” in nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran, it’s wise to issue a word of caution: don’t be fooled. While the new Iranian president-elect, Masoud Pezeshkian—a Western-educated heart surgeon—may appear more polished and pragmatic than his hardline predecessor, nothing in Iran’s structure of power has changed. The Ayatollah still pulls the strings. And history shows that betting on Iran’s honesty is like trusting a fox to guard the henhouse. This isn’t our first diplomatic rodeo with Iran. For more than two decades, Iran has consistently misled international inspectors, stalled for time, and pressed forward on uranium enrichment behind closed doors. Tap the brakes.
According to Politico, Pezeshkian campaigned on moderation and negotiation, appealing to young Iranians frustrated with repression and economic decay. Fox News reports that he favors renewed dialogue with the West on nuclear issues, projecting a softer image than Iran’s Revolutionary Guard-approved elite. His power, however, is limited. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, retains absolute authority over military and foreign policy, including nuclear weapons development. Former UN nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei admitted in 2008 that efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons had been a “failure”. And long before that, in 2005, his own agency was found asleep at the switch, failing to notice that Iran had acquired bomb designs and enrichment centrifuges via the Pakistani nuclear black market.

FBI's Kash Patel vows that 'definitive answer' on top Jan 6th question is 'coming'
|
|
|
Various conspiracy theories continue to swirl around Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riots more than four years later, but FBI Director Kash Patel promised a "definitive answer" to one of the most pressing questions about the nation-shattering event is "coming."
"People have had questions about Jan. 6th and whether or not there were FBI sources — not agents, sources — on the ground during Jan. 6. And I told you I would get you the definitive answer to that. And we have, and we are in the process again of working with our partners to divulge that information, and it is coming," Patel said Wednesday during a "Special Report" exclusive interview. Patel added the answer may "surprise and shock people because of what past FBI leaders have said about it."
Last year, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his highly anticipated report on the FBI’s Handling of its Confidential Human Sources and Intelligence Collection Efforts in the Lead Up to the Jan. 6, 2021 Electoral Certification.
According to the report, there were a total of 26 confidential human sources in the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but only three of them were assigned by the FBI to be there. The report stressed that none of the sources were authorized or directed by the bureau to "break the law" or "encourage others to commit illegal acts."
One of the three confidential human sources tasked by the FBI to attend the rally entered the Capitol building, while the other two entered the restricted area around the Capitol. If a confidential human source is directed to be at a certain event, they are paid by the FBI for their time. Patel told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier the information from the DOJ IG report is "definitely a piece of the truth."
After taking the helm of the nation's top investigative agency, Patel has made transparency and restoring trust in the bureau a top priority. Part of achieving this goal, he said, is to give Americans the answers they "deserve." Patel told Baier that there are "answers coming" from a number of other investigations, including the mystery surrounding pipe bombs placed outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee offices on the eve of the Jan. 6 riot, the cocaine found in the White House during Biden's presidency and the FBI’s investigation into alleged Trump-Russia connections in the aftermath of the 2016 election, best known as "Crossfire Hurricane."

- Father God, we just love Kash Patel; and thank You for raising him up as the Director of the FBI. We praise You for his zeal, integrity and sharp intellect but especially his desire to truly serve the American people in bringing truth and justice to our judicial system. We look forward to hearing the truth and circumstances surrounding the January 6th riot. If any puzzle pieces are missing, we ask that You bring them forth at this time. May there be no distortion from the media regarding the report we anticipate soon from Director Patel. May the report be so clear and direct that even those who don’t want or like the truth will believe the results from the FBI’s investigation. Abba, as truth is declared, we pray that all who have been wrongly accused, even imprisoned in very harsh conditions, will be avenged by You, our Advocate and Defender. Thank You for bringing much good out of these horrible circumstances, but especially we thank You for the truth! May true justice come forth for the good folks and the evil doers, as each deserves in Your eyes, Lord.
We ask Your favor, blessing and protection for Kash Patel and his staff, in Yeshua's mighty name, Amen!
- "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land." (Psalm 37:7-9)

Transportation Department deploying artificial intelligence to spot air traffic dangers,
Duffy says
|
|
|
|
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently announced that artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to detect and address air traffic risks, following a slew of near-misses and fatal plane crashes across the country.
Duffy told FOX 5 DC that officials are implementing AI to "identify and address potential air traffic risks nationwide," potentially aiding in preventing tragedies like the fatal Jan. 29 midair collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) that claimed the lives of 67 people.
Following the Potomac River crash, which involved a commercial plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, Duffy announced a plan to build a new "state-of-the-art" traffic control system that will equip locations with better technology to reduce outages, improve efficiency and reinforce safety.
Duffy told FOX 5 that when investigators were looking into how to prevent collisions, they asked themselves, "Are there any other DCAs out there?"
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) previously said it identified 15,214 instances of planes getting alerts about helicopters in close proximity near DCA between October 2021 and December 2024. (Fox News) Read more here.

|
- Lord of the airlines, airways and the airwaves, we are so grateful that our outdated air traffic control system is in process of being upgraded to state of the art technology and training. We thank You for the incentives encouraging seasoned controllers to remain in their jobs and for encouragement and incentives for neophytes to enter the field and receive up to the minute training and preparation. We ask for the needed resources to improve our system, both monetary and human.
May Your hand rest powerfully on Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as he administrates much needed improvements in our infrastructure and travel industries. Give him great favor as he receives and uses Your wisdom. We ask this prayer in Your Holy Name, amen and amen.
- "He who builds His layers in the sky, and has founded His strata in the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth—the Lord is His name." (Amos 9:6)

Rubio Voices Support for Israel: ‘No Coexistence with Evil’
Rubio Gives Fiery Defense Of Israel And The Jewish People
|
|
|
In a fiery defense of Israel and the Jewish people, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted the constant attempts by different empires and groups throughout history to wipe out Jews, then declared, “There can be no compromise with antisemitism. There can be no nuanced separation of hatred of Israel and hatred of the Jewish people.”
Rubio made the remarks in a pre-recorded video shown on Wednesday at the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Minister’s Conference in Jerusalem.
Earlier this year I stood beside Foreign Minister Sa’ar at the Yad Vashem memorial. I remembered the millions of Jews who were slaughtered, and reflected on the meaning of the words, “Never again.” The importance of those words were brought home to every American last week when Yaron Lischinski and Sarah Milgrim were murdered in cold blood outside of the Capital Jewish museum here in Washington D.C. Yaron was a Christian, born in Germany, who came to love the Jewish state. Sarah was from Kansas and loved Yaron. They dreamed of marrying in Jerusalem; instead they were cut down in cold blood by a monster who did not care about Yaron’s faith or Sarah‘s background. We should never forget that as he was being arrested after killing two innocents, who he believed were Jews, the murderer proudly screamed, “Free, free Palestine,” words that serve as a battle cry for the death of Jews, the destruction of Israel and the horrors we must never again allow.
“Under President Trump the United States will stand with the Jewish people,” he declared. “We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community. We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters like Yaron and Sarah‘s killer.” (The Daily Wire;

Man remains missing after a Swiss glacier collapsed and destroyed 90% of an Alpine village
|

GENEVA (AP) — A 64-year-old man remained missing Thursday after a huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier crashed down a Swiss mountainside the day before.
The landslide sent plumes of dust skyward and coated with mud nearly all of an Alpine village that authorities had evacuated earlier this month as a precaution. State Councilor Stéphane Ganzer told Radio Télévision Suisse that 90% of the village was destroyed.
The Cantonal Police of Valais said that a search and rescue operation was underway for the man, whose name wasn't made public, and it involved a drone with a thermal camera.
The regional government said in a statement that a large chunk of the Birch Glacier above the village had broken off, causing the landslide, which also buried the nearby Lonza River bed, raising the possibility of dammed water flows.
In recent days, authorities had ordered the evacuation of about 300 people, as well as all livestock, from the village amid fears that the 1.5 million-cubic meter (52 million-cubic foot) glacier was at risk of collapse. Read More

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 55:8,9)

"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."
