BBC Apologizes as Trump Threatens to Sue Over Speech Edit
|
|
The BBC apologized for a misleading edit of remarks by Donald Trump that featured in a documentary last year, prompting a lawsuit threat by the US president and fresh questions about the future of Britain’s national broadcaster. British Broadcasting Corp. Chairman Samir Shah acknowledged on Monday that the edited footage of Trump’s speech near the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, aired on the Panorama program wrongly gave “the impression of a direct call for violent action.” Shah told the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee in a letter that “the BBC would like to apologize for that error of judgment.” Lawyers for Trump separately sent a letter to Shah, threatening to sue the news organization for $1 billion if it didn’t “retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about him. The BBC said that it would respond “in due course.”
The president’s legal threat came after the BBC’s director-general, Tim Davie, and its news chief, Deborah Turness, stepped down over the matter. The twin resignations prompted new calls from right-leaning politicians to overhaul the BBC, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesman rejected accusations of institutional bias by the news organization. The documentary made Trump appear to say that his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol” and “fight like hell” before the riot outside the US legislative building that day. In fact, he said they should “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” The “fight like hell” remark was from a different part of the speech. (MSN)

Father, we sing HALLELUJAH for truth being revealed in the midst of long standing media lies and focused attacks upon our Commander in Chief! In Jesus Name, we declare this exposure will be broadcasted throughout our nation and around the world and the long-standing grievous affects, due to this lie, will fall to the ground and become null and void! Let justice reign and realignment to righteousness flourish within our nation. We declare healing and unity will replace the spirit of hatred and offense that spread due to manipulation and misinformation. The world needs You, Jesus; Come and realign America once again to Your holy Ways! By the Blood of the Lamb, we pray- Amen.
"Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops." (Luke 12:2-3)

Major takeaways for federal agencies on the funding deal to reopen government
|
|
Congress is on a glidepath toward reopening the government later this week, with the Senate already taking a key vote on a spending package on Sunday and the House finally bringing its members back to Washington after seven weeks of absence.
The bill would set line-by-line, component-by-component spending levels across the Agriculture Department, Veterans Affairs Department and the legislative branch, while continuing pre-shutdown funding levels through a stopgap provision for the rest of government. That continuing resolution would run through Jan. 30.
The CR contained several key elements affecting federal workers, including a reaffirmation that staff furloughed during the record-setting shutdown will receive backpay, a cancellation of more than 4,000 layoffs issued during the funding lapse and a guarantee that no additional reductions in force will go out through January. The employees issued RIFs who would be called back include those at the departments of Commerce, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development and Treasury, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency. The backpay provision would ensure implementation of a 2019 law that the Trump administration had threatened to ignore.

Holy One, we pray for this matter to be resolved well and speedily, so that the continued negotiations and improvements in several areas can continue. We pray for the House to be able to bring agreement to the funding deal and our government agencies can get back into effective working arrangements, in Jesus's name. We bless the Republicans for holding the line against the Democrat threats of tyranny and pray for righteousness to rule in Congress. We bless those who continued working through the shutdown without paychecks and we pray for everyone to become a bit more fiscally responsible in order to be prepared for inevitable rainy days, in Jesus's name.
"Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death." (2 Corinthians 7:9-10)

'No basis in the Constitution': Supreme Court takes staggering action against U.S. religious freedom
|
|
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to take the case involving former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who faces a catastrophe because of a leftist ruling creating same-sex "marriage" across the country by extremists who no longer are on the bench.
It is Kim Davis who now faces $360,000 in penalties for the "hurt feelings" of homosexuals who bypassed other marriage license channels and sought her out to try to force her to publicly violate her Christian faith and issue them a marriage license.
"Davis was jailed, hauled before a jury, and now faces crippling monetary damages based on nothing more than purported hurt feelings," explained Liberty Counsel chief Mat Staver.
"By denying this petition, the high court has let stand a decision to strip a government defendant of their immunity and any personal First Amendment defense for their religious expression. This cannot be right because government officials do not shed their constitutional rights upon election. Like the abortion decision in Roe v. Wade, Obergefell was egregiously wrong from the start. (WND) Read more here.

Holy King, we cannot comprehend how the Supreme Court would refuse to hear this case. The gravity of the matter is so significant: the denial of 1st Amendment religious freedom and the free exercise thereof to a citizen in deference to "hurt feelings". It seems this Christian woman was intentionally targeted by these two gay men and she was imprisoned and fined excessively as a result of standing up for her beliefs in a professional capacity. Jesus, we beseech You to defend Kim Davis because we, the people, seem unable to do so. We cry out to You over such an egregious injustice and ask You to show us the way to demand our religious freedoms against those who seek to destroy them, in Jesus's name. We forgive those ones and pray for their salvation, in the name of Jesus.
"But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!" (2 Timothy 4:17-18)

Bloody brawl breaks out as agitators protest TPUSA event at UC Berkeley in California
|
|
A bloody fight broke out near the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday afternoon, ahead of a Turning Point USA event on campus.
The event, which featured Dr. Frank Turek and Rob Schneider, marked the end of the "This Is The Turning Point" tour. The confrontation erupted at around 4:30 PST. During the brawl, two men were seen fighting each other, one of whom had blood gushing from his face.
Video taken by Fox News Digital also shows a crowd of agitators gathering around the fight. Many demonstrators wore keffiyehs and carried signs with left-wing messages. Local police had difficulty containing the agitators and were seen putting on shield masks and gathering batons.
It is unknown how many participants were injured. (Fox News) Read more here.

Mighty One, we thank You for Your presence filling those who are standing for Your love, light and truth. This campus has been a flashpoint for vile actions for decades and we repent for permitting such deeds and actions to occur both on the campus and in the classrooms of this hotbed of trouble, in Jesus's name. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend upon the campus and with salvation, repentance and an overwhelming sense of the presence of God for all who practice dark and evil activities, in Jesus's name. Holy One, continue to pour forth wisdom and courage in the TPUSA people as they step into the heart of darkness with love and healing. Bless the law enforcement as they do their best to protect the innocent despite their authorities's commands, in Jesus's name.
"As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me." (Psalm 55:16-18)

Senate approves bipartisan legislation to end shutdown; House next
|
|
Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate on Monday night approved bipartisan legislation to end the record-long government shutdown as House Speaker Mike Johnson called representatives to return to Washington to be there for their votes.
Monday marked the 41st day of the United States' longest-running government shutdown, which started Oct. 1. It beat the previous longest shutdown of 35 days, which took place in 2018 and 2019 during President Donald Trump's first term.
The House will take up the legislation as early at 4 p.m. Wednesday, and "multiple vote series are expected," according to a notice from Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota. The Republicans hold a 219-213 advantage with only a majority needed compared with 60 votes of 100 votes needed in the Senate for passage.
The Senate approved the final measure shortly before 9:30 p.m.
Trump is final outcome
Any bill passed by both chambers will require a signature by Trump to become law. Trump said he intends to sign the legislation.
When House will be back in session
The House will be back in session at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday.
In the House, Johnson plans to swear in Adelita Grijalva of Arizona when the members return, according to a CNN source. Grijalva was elected Sept. 23, but Johnson refused to swear her in until Senate Democrats agreed to reopen the government. (UPI) Read more here

Father God, we can now breathe a sigh of relief that this bill will finally be passed in the House (now that it has been passed in the Senate), and will go to the President's desk to be signed into law. In the remaining hours that lie ahead, where debates
will still take place in the House chamber, we ask that Your peace would rule over all. We thank You, too, for our Speaker, Mike Johnson, who has remained "steady at the helm" during all of this ordeal. May he be rewarded greatly by Your Hand for
his excellent leadership in our Congress. In Your Name, Father God, we offer this prayer. Amen and amen.
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

1. Kushner, Netanyahu still seeking solution to impasse on terrorists in Rafah tunnels - Times of Israel
US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been striving to find a solution to the standoff over the 100-200 Hamas terrorists holed up in Rafah tunnels on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line, but remain at an impasse.
An Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Tuesday evening that “there is no agreed-upon solution regarding the terrorists in Rafah.”
According to a Channel 12 news report on Tuesday, Israel put forth a plan under which it would agree to let the Hamas members emerge, provided they surrender their weapons and pledge not to return to terrorism. (Read more)

2. Israel’s US ambassador: ‘We can’t live with jihadis on our border anymore’ - JNS
Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, told ABC News on Monday that once the remaining hostages’ bodies are returned, the second phase of the ceasefire deal could begin, which requires the “disarming of Hamas and demilitarization of Gaza.”
“We can’t live with jihadis on our border anymore. That’s the lesson of Oct. 7,” said Leiter, referring to the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The return of Lt. Hadar Goldin for burial, an Israel Defense Forces soldier whose body had been held by Hamas for 11 years, was a positive development, he said. However, he noted that the terror group still holds the bodies of four hostages, including a Thai worker murdered on Oct. 7. (Read more)

3. Sharaa confirms Syria is in direct talks with Israel - Israel National News
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa accused Israel of violating a decades-old disengagement agreement and expanding its military presence in Syria, including bombing key government sites, in an interview published Tuesday by the Washington Post.
“Syria got into war with Israel 50 years ago. Then, in 1974, there was a disengagement agreement,” al-Sharaa said, speaking to the newspaper after his landmark visit to the White House and meeting with President Trump. “This agreement lasted for 50 years. But when the [Assad] regime fell, Israel revoked this agreement. They expanded their presence in Syria, expelled the UN [peacekeeping] mission and occupied new territory.”
According to al-Sharaa, Israel has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes in Syria since December 8, the date on which his rebel organization, Nusra Front, toppled Assad, including attacks on the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of Defense. “But because we want to rebuild Syria, we didn’t respond to these aggressions,” he said.

4. Israeli Ambassador Sounds Alarm on Rising Antisemitism in Germany as Left Party Youth Wing Targets Jews as ‘Traitors’ - Algemeiner
Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, has warned of a rising wave of antisemitism in the European country, particularly from left-wing groups, as the youth wing of Germany’s Left Party continues to spread anti-Israel rhetoric and harasses Zionists, labeling them “traitors.”
In a new interview with the German news outlet Berliner Morgenpost, Prosor said that the local Jewish community is living in fear amid an increasingly hostile climate, noting that it is “better not to walk down Sonnenallee in Neukölln wearing a Star of David.”
“In 2025, Jewish men and women fear attending university or riding the subway because they are visibly Jewish. That schools, community centers, and synagogues require round-the-clock police protection is not normal,” the Israeli diplomat said. (Read more)

5. In world first, Israel begins pumping desalinated water into depleted Sea of Galilee - Times of Israel
The Water Authority has started channeling desalinated water to the Sea of Galilee, marking the first ever attempt anywhere in the world top up a freshwater lake with processed seawater.
The groundbreaking project, years in the making and a sign of both Israel’s success in converting previously unusable water into a vital resource and the rapidly dropping water levels in the country’s largest freshwater reservoir, was quietly inaugurated on October 23.
The desalinated water enters the Sea of Galilee via the the seasonal Tsalmon Stream, entering at the Ein Ravid spring, some four kilometers (2.5 miles) northwest of what is Israel’s emergency drinking source. (Read more)

1. ‘Shut it down’: Bombshell FBI timeline exposes political interference in Clinton corruption probe Just the News
FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a bombshell memo written in 2017 chronicling the extensive political obstruction that career agents in three cities faced from their own bosses and the Obama Justice Department during the 2016 election as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.
"Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported.
The agents tried to get the help of federal prosecutors to determine whether or what crimes occurred while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, most notably, because at that time, her family foundation solicited hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign and U.S. interests with business before her department.

Thank You Abba, for allowing this information to come to the surface and for the leaders who have taken action to verify and release it to the public. We pray for just and logical consequences to be extended to every person involved in corruption and law-breaking, in Jesus's name. We ask for honorable authorities to be divinely empowered to bring forth righteousness and establish a justice that cannot be easily undermined, in Your name.
"For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him," (Hebrews 2:2-3)

2. The Flood of Stunning New Evidence That J6 Was a Fedsurrection Can't Be Ignored – PJ Media
After the initial shock wore off, it became quite clear to many of us that something nefarious was behind the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol Complex. Things were too pat. Narratives were set and eagerly parroted by the media within hours. Buses filled with non-MAGA people were reported and verified by congressional reps. And there were "bombs" found at the Democratic National Committee and later at a club near the RNC. Impeachment talk was openly discussed.
And the fix is still in. On Sunday, two executives at the BBC resigned in disgrace after the popular British news program Panorama was caught making egregious edits in Trump's speech to make him sound like he was encouraging a run on the Capitol Building.
Someone, many someones, flooded the zone with quickly buttoned-up narratives that didn't fit with anything that had happened on the right before. It looked like an Antifa free-for-all, which we'd seen hundreds of times before. This time, however, we were led to believe that Antifa had miraculously missed its first riot in D.C. in years.

Holy One, we pray for more and more revelation of the truth of this horrific day in the history of our nation. May this trickle turn into an overflowing river of filth flowing in order to be repented of, cleansed and forgiven. We pray for Your lovingkindness to bring order and provision for the people who have suffered under the heavy weight of wickedness released on this day, in Jesus's name. We pray for Your divine justice for those who have manipulated, changed or fabricated stories from this day, including the pipe bomb issue that is now coming to light. Make Your presence known to those who need to walk in repentance, Father. Amen.
"'Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.'" (1 Chronicles 19:13)

3. In hot water: Jasmine Crockett faces probe over conflicting financial disclosures - WND.com
A watchdog group alleges that Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, filed inconsistent financial disclosure statements regarding investments, which potentially violated House rules and federal law if the unreported assets exceed $1,000 in value.
"Generally, a lot of members of Congress are trading and holding assets that could be considered a conflict of interest," Kendra Arnold, executive director of FACT, told The Daily Signal. "When we see members of Congress not taking financial disclosure seriously, we do see other ethics problems."
The complaint notes that as a member of the Texas Legislature, Crockett reported owning stock in at least 25 companies, including Amazon, AstraZeneca, Exxon Mobil, Moderna, and Uber. However, her federal filings as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives covering the same period listed investments in just three companies. (Read more)

We pray for this Congressmember to be brought under charges if she has broken the law. May the evidence be clear and quickly brought forth for investigation and indictment as appropriate. May our Congresspeople either walk in integrity or flee the office because of the fear of the Lord upon them due to criminal actions, in Jesus's name.
"For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:30-31)

4. A historian’s warning: The Democrats have gone full totalitarian - The Blaze
When General George S. Patton served as military governor of postwar Bavaria, he startled the press by comparing Germans who voted for the Nazis to Americans who voted for Republicans or Democrats. Eighty years later, that comparison, once deemed outrageous, makes more sense than most care to admit.
Today’s Democratic Party has become a profoundly destructive force. Its leaders incite violence, wink at assassination attempts, and encourage riots to block the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants — including criminal offenders — the Biden White House imported as future Democratic voters.
The point isn’t that the Democratic Party is identical to Hitler’s regime. It’s that its tactics — the deceit, manipulation, and contempt for constitutional limits — echo the methods the Nazis used to dismantle Weimar Germany from within.
As a European historian whose own family fled the Nazis, I recognize the pattern. The difference today is that Democrats enjoy advantages the German totalitarians never had. Even at the height of economic collapse, no more than one-third of German voters supported Hitler’s party. In America, at least half the electorate — and possibly more — backs a party that celebrates political violence, erases gender distinctions, tears down monuments, degrades men, and promotes the mutilation of confused children in the name of “affirmation.” (Read more)

Holy One, this author has put words to the sense that many of us feel either clearly or vaguely, but nevertheless, it seems to be a dangerous threat and we pray for Your wisdom to deal with it. We know that discernment is so important and may it be intertwined with courage for those who strive to turn things around. We pray that Your people do not come under fear of man or condemnation but remain clearly focused on You and Your word as we seek to push this darkness back into the pit it came from, in Jesus' name. We pray for deliverance for the democrats because they don't know what darkness they are empowering and we forgive them and pray for salvation and redemption for every one, in the name of Jesus.
"'Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.'" (Daniel 11:32)

5. Alert: Ultra Violent Latin Kings Street Gang Issues 'Shoot on Sight' Orders for Any ICE, DHS, or Other Federal Agents Involved in Operation Midway Blitz - The Western Journal
The Latin Kings street gang has issued a “shoot on sight” order targeting Border Patrol agents involved in Operation Midway Blitz.
“Officer/agents are reminded to maintain heightened situational awareness and exercise extreme caution when conducting enforcement activities,” an internal Customs and Border Protection memo said, according to The Hill.
“Our law enforcement is now facing an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against them while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst,” a Department of Homeland Security representative said. (Read more)

Mighty God, we pray for Your protection upon every one of our law enforcement agents nationwide and even worldwide. We ask You to give them a keen awareness of any danger around them so they can do their jobs safely and walk under Your angelic covering, in Jesus's name. We pray that these deadly gangs would be stopped and brought under righteous authority and neutralized in Jesus's name. May the fears and threats surrounding the people living near these gangs be quelled and the reckless loss of life in these communities cease, in the authority of the name of Jesus.
"Proclaim this among the nations: 'Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, "I am strong." (Joel 3:9-10)

6. 'Begin repatriating': German chancellor admits it's time to give Syrian migrants the boot - The Blaze
The Alternative for Germany party has spent over a decade sounding the alarm about the fallout of mass migration in Europe. For its efforts, the German political establishment has sought to ban, vilify, disarm, debank, and criminalize the party and its members.
Merz suggested further that he'll work with Syria's terrorist president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, to help facilitate the return, reported Politico. "The civil war in Syria is over," said Merz. "There are now no longer any grounds for asylum in Germany, which means we can begin repatriating people."
The chancellor noted further that the Syrians temporarily dwelling in Europe have a responsibility to rebuild their war-torn nation. "Without these people, reconstruction will not be possible," said Merz. "Those in Germany who then refuse to return to the country can, of course, be deported in the near future." (Read more)

We thank You Abba that there are leaders in Germany looking with wise eyes at the situation of immigrants and the nearly 50% increase in crimes committed by them. We pray for righteousness to prevail in Germany to protect their citizens, and may it result in a growing awareness of the presence of God. We pray for the Syrian immigrants to have the fear of the Lord and be returned to their home country easily and quickly in order to to become a part of the solution there, in Jesus's name.
"But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. For all people walk each in the name of his god, But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God Forever and ever." (Micah 4:4-5)

America's Spiritual Crisis
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 11, 2025
In the recent elections across New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, Democrats won with authority. New York City saw record turnout, the highest since the late 1960s, and voters chose a self-described socialist as mayor. In Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats captured large margins across the board, buoyed by strong youth turnout and shifting coalitions. What’s striking isn’t simply geography—it’s the mindset. Voters in traditionally blue areas are now voting from a belief that government is the ultimate problem-solver. It marks a cultural transition from valuing freedom and responsibility to expecting authority and control. That change says more about the nation’s spiritual condition than its political one.
Younger, college-educated, urban voters led the way. Exit polls show overwhelming majorities under 30 aligning with Democratic candidates, citing the cost of living and housing as their biggest concerns. They ignore that it is Democratic Party policies on illegal immigration that drove those economic issues. Moral character or personal conduct no longer weigh as heavily. In Virginia, one candidate who had once wished death upon an opponent still sailed to victory. The reaction? Indifference. It’s as if people have accepted that outrage, division, and even hostility are normal parts of political discourse. The louder and more aggressive the rhetoric, the more “authentic” it feels. The danger is that this kind of moral dullness doesn’t stay in politics. It bleeds into the culture itself. Read More

Power grid warning issued for 11 states
|
|
|
|
Warnings have been issued for portions of the United States’ electric power grid amid a forecasted severe geomagnetic storm.
The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued the forecast on Tuesday, saying a geomagnetic storm at a strength of category G4 would cause issues with electrical grids for states poleward of the 45th parallel.
States north of that latitude include Oregon, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Why It Matters
Power grid stability underpins everyday life in the U.S., ensuring homes and businesses have reliable electricity. As solar activity threatens to disrupt electrical and communications infrastructure, officials must rapidly respond to risks of large-scale outages and equipment failure.
The recent warnings come as demand for energy surges to levels not seen in over a decade, driven by both climate-related challenges and the expanding footprint of AI-powered data centers and advanced manufacturing.
What To Know
The geomagnetic storm forecast for this week is expected to reach a strength of G4 and above, indicating that the impacts could be severe.
“Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid,” the forecast from NOAA said. It also warned that satellite systems could be “degraded or inoperable for hours.”
An aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, may be seen as far south as Alabama on Tuesday night due to the storm.
What Happens Next
The SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center) will continue to monitor conditions of the geomagnetic storm and provide updates on possible impacts. (Newsweek) Read more here.

Lord God, when we see an event in nature that is totally out of our control, we thank You that You have this under Your control!
As we continue to repent of our sins in this nation, we turn to You, Holy One, for protection and for deliverance from the potentially devastating effects of this storm. Thank You, Holy One, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen!

Trump: ‘America Stands Tall Because America’s Veterans Stood So Strong’
|
|
|
President Donald Trump said Tuesday, Veterans Day, that “America stands tall” because her “veterans stood so strong” after a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Trump delivered remarks from the amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, a short drive from the White House.
“Generation after generation, America’s warriors have left behind the comforts of home and family to face violence, evil, and death, so that our families could know joy, goodness, and peace. We honor them so strongly,” the president said.
“Our heroes have lived through unthinkable nightmares so we could live the American dream, and the American Dream is coming back again, stronger than ever before, and you’ll see that as the next few years evolve,” he added.
He then noted that America has flourished for a quarter millennium because of the strength of her veterans.
“They have volunteered to give their last breaths to all of us so that we could breathe free. And today, we know without any doubt in our hearts that after two and a half centuries, America stands tall because America’s veterans stood so strong,” he said. (Breitbart) Read

Father God, we do thank You for the millions of servicemen in all branches of our military who have stood and fought for our freedom over these many centuries.

A nonprofit group linked to anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour, an ally of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D.), received $4.1 million in city and state funds over a period of seven years, public records show.
The Arab American Association of New York (AAANY), which Sarsour led from 2005 to 2017, received more than $3.3 million from New York City and $854,000 from New York state between Sarsour's last year atop the organization and 2024. The state-level funding came primarily from the New York State Department of State, with $20,000 disbursed from the Office of Children and Family Services. Its city-level funding is much murkier: One $60,000 payment came from the Department of Small Business Services, but the rest of the funding was not attributed to any particular agency, watchdog group OpenTheBooks found.
Anti-Semitism watchdog group Canary Mission released a video showing Sarsour bragging at a September Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) conference that a CAIR-backed PAC was Mamdani's largest financial backer, news the Free Beacon reported in June. CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, gained attention in late 2023 after saying he was "happy to see" Hamas's Oct. 7 attack against Israel. (Free Beacon) Read more here

Golden Dome Missile Shield Key To Ensuring Nuclear Second Strike Capability: U.S. Admiral
|
|
|
A key aspect of the Trump administration’s Golden Dome missile defense initiative is ensuring America’s ability to launch retaliatory nuclear strikes, the nominee to become the next head of U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) has stressed. This comes amid particular concerns within the halls of the U.S. government about the new deterrence challenges posed by China’s ongoing push to expand the scope and scale of its nuclear capabilities dramatically.
Navy Vice Adm. Richard Correll, who is currently deputy head of STRATCOM, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee last week about his nomination to lead the command. Ahead of that hearing, he also submitted unclassified written answers to questions from members of the committee.
One of the questions posed to Correll asked how, if confirmed, he would expect to work with the central manager for the Golden Dome initiative, a post currently held by Space Force Gen. Mike Guetlein.
“Per Executive Order 14186, the Golden Dome for America (GDA) Direct Reporting Program Manager (DRPM) is responsible to ‘deliver a next-generation missile defense shield to defend its citizens and critical infrastructure against any foreign aerial attack on the U.S. homeland and guarantees a second-strike capability.’ If confirmed, I look forward to working with the GDA DRPM to ensure missile defense is effective against the developing and increasingly complex missile threats, to guarantee second-strike capability, and to strengthen strategic deterrence,” Correll wrote in response.
