Son of Israeli envoy to US Leiter discharged from hospital, months after attack
|
|
|
Neria Leiter, the son of Israel's Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, was discharged from Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem and transferred to a neurological rehabilitation center on Wednesday. Leiter was seriously wounded during a car-ramming terrorist attack at the Bell checkpoint on Route 443 in September. According to Shaare Zedek, Leiter remains unconscious but is breathing on his own.
During his hospitalization, Leiter underwent several neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures. After several weeks in which his life was in danger, his condition stabilized. His family said they "thank the medical teams at Shaare Zedek for their dedicated and professional care, which went above and beyond," and asked that their privacy be respected.
"Following the announcement from Shaare Zedek Medical Center, the Leiter family wishes to express their gratitude to the medical team that cared for Neria with such dedication, fighting for his life against all odds, specifically Prof. Philip Levin, Director of the Intensive Care Unit, and his devoted staff, as well as Dr. Yevgeny Karpov, Director of the Neurological Intensive Care Unit, and his dedicated team," Ambassador Leiter wrote on X/Twitter.
"Neria has been transferred to the Tel HaShomer rehabilitation facility for patients with impaired consciousness. Despite this transition, his condition remains complex, and the road to recovery is long and arduous," the ambassador said. "Neria remains unconscious and will require several additional surgeries. The family extends their thanks to the many people who have prayed for Neria, and they ask that these prayers continue, praying for a miracle that will bring Neria back to the embrace of his family," he added.

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we PRAISE you for positive news regarding Neria Leiter! While circumstances are complex, we celebrate that he is breathing on his own. HALLELUJAH! Thank You Abba for Your encouragement, in answered prayer, allowing the world to see positive steps towards his recovery. We trust Your continual hedge of protection upon Neria, and wait upon You for his perfect restoration. Allow him to touch the hem of Your garment and grant full-consciousness to return quickly. Bring heavenly wisdom to his medical team, so they may have clear discernment for next steps from You. We leave Neria Leiter at the foot of the cross and declare he will live to give powerful testimonies of encounters with Yeshua! In the mighty Blood of the Lamb we pray- Amen and Amen.
"Just as the mountains surround and protect Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds and protects his people, both now and forevermore." (Psalm 125:2)

Twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to storm United cockpit, threatening bomb: DHS
|
|
|
EXCLUSIVE: A Honduran illegal alien accused of attempting to enter the cockpit of a United Airlines flight after allegedly claiming to have a bomb had previously been deported from the United States twice, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office after United Airlines Flight 2174 landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after a frightening midair disturbance Monday night.
The suspect allegedly claimed to have a bomb during the flight, prompting the pilots to issue a reported hijacking alert, according to the Daily Mail. DHS separately confirmed that Gomez-Alberto was accused of attempting to enter the cockpit.
DHS confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer for Gomez-Alberto Tuesday after his arrest.
"On November 10, 2026, ICE lodged a detainer for Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, with Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office after he attempted to gain entry to the cockpit during a flight," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News.
According to DHS, Gomez-Alberto was apprehended by Border Patrol after illegally entering the United States near El Indio, Texas, in September 2011 and again near Columbus, New Mexico, in October 2014. He was removed from the country following both encounters.
In 2019, Border Patrol arrested him again after an attempted illegal entry near San Ysidro, California.
Local reporting citing the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said Gomez-Alberto was booked on charges of communicating false information of planned arson and terrorizing. DHS separately listed bomb threat, terroristic threat and disorderly conduct offenses in its statement.
United Airlines also confirmed the disturbance in a separate statement to Fox News Digital. "United flight 2174 from Newark to New Orleans landed safely following a disruptive incident involving a passenger onboard. Law enforcement met the aircraft upon arrival," United media relations said. (Fox News) Read more here.

Abba, the US needs Your help. We thank You that this man wasn't actually able to force his way into the cockpit of the United flight, but this was potentially a very dangerous action mid flight. We
ask You to reveal to our police and ICE the plans of the enemy before they happen. Holy Spirit, send out Your angels to protect our citizens from those in our nation illegally, bring supernatural wisdom, words of knowledge, vision, and insight that will stop the enemy in his tracks, showing the world that You are among us and active in our lives. We ask this in the name Yahweh Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies, the God who has myriads of men and angels listening to do His will.
"The Son of Man will send out his
angels, and they will weed
out of his kingdom everything that
causes sin and all who do evil."

Jim Jordan becomes new House GOP leader after closed-door vote, defeating Steve Scalise
|
|
|
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, will be President Donald Trump's top defender in Congress next year after winning a closed-door election for minority leader on Tuesday, sources told Fox News Digital.
Jordan defeated Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., currently the House of Representatives' No. 2 leader, in what's believed to be a narrow race. Jordan received 106 votes to Scalise’s 73, sources in the room told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital heard loud, sustained applause from outside in the hallway when Jordan’s win became official.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., also handily defeated Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, for the No. 2 leadership job of minority whip. The final vote count was 103 to 76, per sources.
Sources said House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain, R-Mich., meanwhile, also survived a challenge and kept her job. (Fox News) Read more here.

Abba, Your word says You put kings in place and You take them down, we believe that includes races within parties themselves. We thank You for putting Jim Jordan into his new role of House GOP leader. Father God, You know better than anyone what will be faced in the House this coming January and we ask for Your hand on Rep Jordan as he seeks ways to facilitate the GOP in votes and all the decisions that will need to be made. We ask Holy Spirit to move over every Republican Representative, speak into hearts Your desire for unity and peace....not necessarily agreement on all things. Let Your presence always be in this chamber when it is in session, show those who are called by Your name exactly how You intend for them to vote on each issue. Fill their minds and hearts with joy in the midst of frustration when it comes, bring new ideas of how to negotiate with those who disagree with them, let Your love be so evident in each of Your kids that it breaks down all pre-made decisions during heated discussions. We ask this in the name Yahweh Shalom, the Lord Our Peace, the peace that comes from wholeness and right relationship with God and others.
" May the God of hope fill you with all joy and
peace as you trust in him, so that you
may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

Hegseth thwarts GOP-led impeachment push as questions swirl over whether allegations rise to high crimes
|
|
|
War Secretary Pete Hegseth thwarted an impeachment push Tuesday after the Republican-led House voted 211-204 to send eight articles accusing him of violating federal law and abusing his authority to the Judiciary Committee, effectively shelving the effort.
The effort, which Hegseth has called a policy dispute rather than legitimate impeachable offenses, was spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., but did not make it to a floor vote despite growing support for cracking down on the Pentagon chief — even among Republicans.
"One disgruntled congressman wants to shred it over policy disagreements. That's what it is: policy disagreements, not high crimes, not misdemeanors, not treason, not bribery, not the kinds of offenses the founders intended when they wrote the impeachment clause," Hegseth said at a Pentagon press conference Tuesday morning.
"The proper remedy for a policy disagreement, it's legislation, it's debate, it's the next presidential election," he added.
But the impeachment resolution introduced Monday by Massie goes beyond objections to the administration's military strategy. It alleges that Hegseth violated congressional war powers, authorized unlawful military operations and retaliated against a sitting senator for exercising his constitutional rights.

Abba, we as a nation need Your help. Our government has dissolved into constant accusations concerning internal issues that belong in our Judiciary, not the Legislature. We have become a government of 'revenge' against whoever we disagree with, HELP! Father God, we ask You to intervene in thought processes and hearts of Representatives and Senators on both sides of the aisle, reveal how You see what has been and is going on, show each Your view of their hearts. Holy Spirit, move on each heart and pour in the "fear of God", let each person come face to face with You in dreams or visions, give them reason to pause and reflect on who they have become. Jesus, have mercy on us, this is NOT what You created us to be or to do. We ask this in the name Yahweh Gaol, The Lord Our Redeemer.
"I know that my Redeemer lives, and
He shall stand at last on the earth."
(Job 19:25)

Trump touts legal victory over BBC as judge says his lawsuit against British broadcaster can proceed
|
|
|
President Donald Trump scored a victory in court Tuesday as a judge ruled that his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) can proceed.
"A Huge Victory against Fake News BBC, a terrible abuser of the truth, just handed down by highly respected District Court Judge, Jeffrey T. Kuntz, of the Southern District of Florida," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump continued, "In his powerful ruling, Judge Kuntz wrote,'Here, the news entity created the story. BBC admitted as much by confirming it had edited a video to make it appear as though President Trump made a statement he never made.' We will continue fighting against, and defeating, all of those who try to deceive the American People!"
In his ruling, Kuntz criticized the BBC over how it edited the 2024 "Panorama" documentary at the center of the lawsuit, suggesting the broadcaster "knew or should have known that the segment they were creating would not and could not have been a truthful statement."
"This was not trimming around the edges but creating something different than what was stated in the speech. BBC also had the entire speech available to them for nearly three years by the time of the Documentary," the filing read.
Kuntz did, however, dismiss Trump's second count in the lawsuit alleging the BBC documentary violated the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), finding that the documentary did not qualify as "commercial speech" under the law.
The judge gave the BBC until Dec. 1 to respond to the remaining defamation claim. (Fox News) Read more here.

|

Abba, we give You thanks and praise that Judge Kuntz has allowed President Trump to continue his suit against the BBC because of their admitted altering of his Jan 6 speech. Father God, we don't understand all the finer points of this case, but we do understand that Your son, Donald, is hated by the enemy and those who have fallen under his lies. Holy Spirit, we ask You to move on the minds and hearts of every person involved in this case, speak the truth to them, break off the lies that are holding their ability to judge rightly captive, let the light of truth shine so brightly in that courtroom that the enemy will not be able to stand. We ask this in the name Yahweh Shaphat, The Lord Our Judge.
"But who can teach a lesson to God,
since he judges even the most powerful?"
(Job 21:22)

Trump defends Iran war during Veterans Day address, says he is making the world 'safer'
|
|
|
President Donald Trump defended the war in Iran and said it will be over "soon" during his Veterans Day address on Wednesday.
Trump made the statement while speaking to a crowd of veterans and their families at Arlington National Cemetery. He highlighted the 1983 Iran-backed bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut and argued that Iran has been at war with the U.S. for decades.
"America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979. They should have been taken care of a long time ago," Trump said.
"And it was just about time somebody fought back. All of us fought back. We fought back, and we fought back. We won. Now the question is when we want to end. We must have a total victory. Not a 93% victory. It's going to be total," he continued.
Trump noted that of the roughly seven months of conflict, "only a few weeks were active fighting," but he acknowledged the casualties America sustained.
"We lost 18 beautiful souls," Trump said. "When this conflict is over, and it will be soon, the entire world will be much safer, a better place, more peaceful place and a place without the kind of danger that we had to suffer."
Administration officials have instead pointed to economic and diplomatic solutions to the conflict. "We don't need to conduct military strikes if we're achieving the same objective through economic means and economic pressure," Rubio told reporters on Tuesday.
"They’re bleeding. They’re bleeding economically," Rubio said. "It is an increased pressure on Iran that continues to grow every day." (Fox News) Read more here.

Father God, today we bow our heads in humble thanksgiving for those who have worn the uniform and who have given their lives to preserve our freedom. We honor, too, those who still serve on our homeland and in military bases around the world. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Space Force - we give tribute to all on this very special federal holiday. In Jesus' name, amen and amen.
"My commandment is this; That you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one's life for one's friend." (John 15:12-13)

1. Erdan Warns of Israel's declining global standing, calls for unity government
- Israel National News
Gilad Erdan, global president of the national first-responder organization Magen David Adom and Israel's former ambassador to the US and the UN, called for the formation of a national unity government at the 2nd Israel Hayom Summit in New York.
In a conversation with Israel Hayom security analyst Yoav Limor, Erdan said that given the security challenges, the decline in Israel's international standing, and the need to legislate the Haredi conscription law, a narrow government would not be able to provide an answer.
"I urge both Prime Minister Netanyahu and (Yashar leader) Gadi Eisenkot - enter the room together, compromise and deliver to the citizens of Israel the unity government we so badly need," he said. Erdan also sharply criticized Israel's public diplomacy policy in the US. He argued that the decline in support for Israel is also a colossal failure of the government. According to Erdan, "Israel's branding is not a nice-to-have; it's part of national security." (Read more)

2. Eisenkot says Netanyahu refusing to give him security briefings, asks AG to intervene - Times of Israel
Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot on Wednesday urged Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to intervene so he could receive regular security briefings from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after warning the premier not to deploy security forces for non-urgent action amid the transitional period following the election.
Eisenkot said he should receive “regular, structured and comprehensive” briefings and access to intelligence assessments because there is currently no opposition leader under the law and President Isaac Herzog has tasked him with forming a government.
He alleged that his team’s attempts to arrange them with Netanyahu’s staff have failed. (Read more)

3. Eisenkot warns Netanyahu against risky military moves - Israel Hayom
MK Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, urging him to exercise restraint and avoid potentially dangerous security decisions while serving as caretaker prime minister.
"I demand that you act with national responsibility during this sensitive period. Show restraint and caution, and avoid dangerous moves that can wait until a new government enjoying the Knesset's confidence is sworn in. Do not undermine the public's trust in the institutions of government and the decision-making process," Eisenkot wrote.
Earlier Wednesday, Netanyahu warned that Israel was facing a moment of testing, which he said underscored the need for political unity. "I cannot tell you everything I know, but there are enough people here who know what enormous challenges lie ahead of us, and what enormous opportunities as well," Netanyahu said at the Knesset. "That is why I say that I believe that at moments like these, we can and must come together. That is what the people want. These are the moments that test us. This is what the hour demands, and I will continue to extend my hand until hearts meet and hands join." (Read more)

4. Netanyahu confirms plan to phase out $4 billion in annual US military aid over several years - World Israel News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel will gradually eliminate US military assistance over several years, citing the country’s economic strength and rejecting President Donald Trump’s assertion that the roughly $4 billion in annual aid would end entirely within the year.
The clarification followed Trump’s remarks during a Fox News interview, in which he outlined a considerably shorter timetable for ending American military funding to Israel.
Netanyahu’s office maintained that the reductions would be implemented in stages, consistent with earlier discussions about initially cutting assistance by half before eliminating it over the next decade. (Read more)

5. Israel and Morocco Expand Defense Partnership Despite Growing Global Efforts to Isolate Jewish State - Algemeiner
As international calls to boycott and isolate the Jewish state gain momentum, Israel and Morocco are moving in the opposite direction, deepening their defense partnership and expanding security cooperation through a high-level visit by Israeli military and security officials to Rabat.
Israeli Defense Ministry Director General Maj. Gen. (Res.) Amir Baram led a high-level delegation of military and intelligence officials to Morocco this week to meet with the country’s top defense leadership, marking another step forward in bilateral security ties.
During the visit, the Israeli delegation met with Minister Delegate for National Defense Administration Abdellatif Loudiyi, as well as senior representatives of the Royal Palace and intelligence services, as part of broader efforts to strengthen the strategic partnership and further expand military cooperation between the two countries.

1. Young Men Swing Hard Toward Democrats in Midterms - Million Voices
Two years ago, young men helped carry President Trump back to the White House. On Tuesday, many of them turned the other way, and their shift helped power one of the biggest Democratic waves in recent memory.
Exit polls show young men swung by more than 40 points toward Democrats in the midterm elections. The change was large enough to help explain upsets from Texas to the Carolinas.
The Fox News Voter Poll found that young men went from favoring Trump by 15 points in 2024 to backing Democratic House candidates by 33 points. That is a swing of 48 points in just two years. The poll surveyed more than 100,000 registered voters. It also found that voters under 30 overall backed Democrats by nearly 3 to 1, after giving Kamala Harris only a narrow edge in 2024.

Lord, we lift up the young men of this nation. Many feel lost and without direction. Draw them to You and give them purpose. Raise up older men in our churches who will walk beside them and point them to Christ. In Your Name, Holy One, we offer this prayer, Amen
“Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.” (Titus 2:6)

2. First Muslim Senator Vows to Cut Off Israel Weapons - Million Voices
El-Sayed wasted little time making Israel a theme of his victory speech in Detroit. He told supporters that Michigan taxpayers want their money spent at home on schools, health care, and roads, not overseas.
“We don’t want our money sent to do apartheid or genocide or war,” he said, according to a transcriptof the speech. He also thanked the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which he said spent $42 million against him, for the chance to beat the group twice.
Chants of “Free Palestine” rang out from the crowd as he spoke. El-Sayed also said that critics call people hateful for believing Palestinian children should be able to grow up without being killed by American tax dollars. (Read more) |

3. Blue Washington Votes to Keep Boys Out of Girls’ Sports - Million Voices
Ballot measures to protect female athletes led or passed in all four states where they appeared on Tuesday. The biggest surprise came from Washington, a state that has voted Democratic for president for decades.
Washington’s Initiative 638 led 56.7% to 42.2% in early returns reported by The Center Square. The measure would require K-12 athletes to compete on teams that match their biological sex, and it would ask students in girls’ sports to provide a signed form from their health care provider confirming their sex.
If the lead holds, it will mark two firsts. It would be the first time voters, not lawmakers, approved a statewide law separating boys’ and girls’ school sports, and the first time such a law took effect in a blue state. (Read more) |

Father, thank You for protecting these girls through the voice of the people. Give courage to the parents and coaches who spoke up. Show Your love to every student who feels confused or alone. Let Your truth stand in our courts. Amen.

4. Federal Reserve’s Rate Hike Chorus Gets Louder - DML News
A growing number of Federal Reserve policymakers are teasing more interest rate hikes in the months ahead. As inflation remains firmly above the U.S. central bank’s 2 percent target, monetary authorities say more work needs to be done.
Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, in a Nov. 10 interview with “PBS NewsHour,” called October’s Consumer Price Index “distressing” and “borderline disturbing.” “We’re going to have to deal with that,” Goolsbee said.
Following a hotter-than-expected inflation report showing consumer prices rising 0.4 percent and core inflation jumping 0.3 percent, Federal Reserve officials are facing mounting pressure over their next moves, though Goolsbee stopped short of committing to further monetary tightening, stating, “I’m not a fan of being very specific and tying our hands at the next meeting or meetings in the future,” even as Wall Street investors increasingly price in another rate hike for December following the central bank’s recent shift to a 3.75 to 4 percent benchmark rate range.

First and foremost, Lord, we thank you that you are our source, and that you never change. We know that this financial system is corrupt, and it will always have its ups and downs so we put our hope and our trust in you.

Amen.

5. Alarming number of college students claim US deserved 9/11, support socialism - DML News
More than one in five college students said the United States deserved the Sept. 11 terror attacks, according to a stunning new poll.
Some 22% of participants surveyed by the Buckley Institute agreed that “America deserved Sept. 11,” which saw terrorists crash planes into the World Trade Center, toppling its Twin Towers and slaughtering nearly 3,000 people.
Another 72% disagreed with the statement while another 6% were unsure, according to the poll, which surveyed 803 American undergraduates.
The report notes that all the students who participated in the poll weren’t even born yet when the horrific Islamic terror attack struck America. Meanwhile, another poll by the Buckley Institute in September of last year found that an alarming percentage of college students are now in support of socialism. (Read more) |

Lord, we pray for righteous leadership to clean up our universities and instill truth and dignity back to our schools and colleges.

We pray that universities would stand for truth and we pray your love and your peace over our colleges, in Jesus' name.
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

6. White House warns congressional Democrats: Investigating us may be a crime - DML News
Previewing the partisan battles to come, the White House fired a warning shot at House Democrats’ top investigator Wednesday.
The Trump administration is “monitoring” Democrats’ “abusive and capricious threats” to launch congressional probes, White House counsel Will Scharf said in a letter to Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who is poised to become chairman of the powerful Oversight Committee starting in January.
And, Scharf warned, those threats may be criminal and warrant their own executive-branch investigations. His letter was shared with NBC News by a White House official. (Read more) |

When Common Sense Loses In A Landslide
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 11, 2026
Well, America has spoken, and common sense failed to get enough votes. The election delivered a remarkable collection of political firsts and familiar follies. Among the winners, a pro-Palestinian Islamist heading to the US Senate, a gubernatorial candidate whose campaign appearances raised questions about sobriety, and two pastors whose interpretations of Scripture seem to require a Bible with several pages missing. Then there's the growing political congregation that believes biological males belong in women's sports, girls' locker rooms, and bathrooms shared with minor children. Somewhere along the way, the definition of progress became moving backward while congratulating ourselves for getting there.
Then there's the economy. Americans voted their pocketbooks, which is understandable considering what groceries, gasoline, housing, and insurance cost these days. The solution? Empower the same political party whose governing record includes massive fraud scandals involving government programs, questionable spending priorities, illegals on the public dole, and an Iran nuclear agreement accompanied by billions in sanctions relief and cash payments. That agreement was supposed to help prevent a nuclear confrontation. Instead, years later, America found itself at war with Iran. Now voters are asking politicians associated with those policies to rescue them from the consequences. That's like hiring the fellow who flooded your basement to install the new plumbing because he promises a discount. Read More

Ilhan Omar huddles with her DC-based lawyers during her first day back on Capitol Hill amid federal probes
|
|
|
|
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., returned to Capitol Hill this week and brought two lawyers with her after a scandal-plagued fall recess.
Fox News spotted the two attorneys exiting her Washington, D.C., office Tuesday after what appeared to be a roughly two-hour meeting with the congresswoman.
Omar hired two high-profile attorneys, Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz, both of whom are partners at Heckler Fink LLP, amid dueling investigations. After emerging from Omar’s office on Tuesday, Fox News asked about their confidence in Omar’s defense against the federal government.
The attorneys were also asked about the recent news that both the Obama and Biden administrations had been the first to investigate Omar after she claimed that the Trump administration was politically targeting her.
This is the first sighting of Omar back on the Hill after two federal departments opened investigations into the Somali-born congresswoman looking into both her immigration status and previous financial filings.
In October, agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided her Washington, D.C., home as part of what Fox News Digital learned was an investigation into whether she or her father committed fraud when filling out her immigration paperwork.
She spent the final weeks of her campaign asking for money to defend herself in the investigations and accusing Trump of targeting her for political reasons.
About an hour after Omar's lawyers exited her office Tuesday, the congresswoman departed with husband Tim Mynett. (Read more)

Holy Judge,
We pray that the wickedness of this arrogant woman, Rep. Ilhan Omar, would come to an end! It is with much prayer that we lay this fraudulent woman at the foot of the cross and we beseech You, Father, to expose everything that she has done and remove her from her leadership position in our government.
Lord, as this investigation continues, we pray that You alone be her judge and jury and we pray that these high profile attorneys will not be able to save her from the wickedness she has brought from her actions concerning our nation. By Your righteous hand, Lord, remove her and others like her that worship foreign gods from any governmental positions in America. We await Your investigation and Your verdict, Almighty God. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen and amen.
"For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish." (Psalm 37:28)

Jeffries vows Democrats won’t ‘give a dime’ to Trump’s deportation efforts
|
|
|
|
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Monday laid out an aggressive agenda for House Democrats as the party prepares to take control of the chamber following sweeping midterm election victories, declaring that Democrats will "not give a dime" toward funding the Trump administration's deportation efforts.
The House minority leader made the remarks during a press conference, one week before Democrats are set to vote on whether Jeffries should remain in his leadership position.
"The American people clearly and decisively rejected MAGA extremism on Tuesday and voted for dramatic change," Jeffries said.
"House Democrats have taken the position that we're not going to give a dime to the administration's violent mass deportation machine," he added.
Jeffries also criticized the use of taxpayer dollars to support what he called "un-American" policies under President Donald Trump.
"Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people, not brutalize or kill American citizens, and violently target law-abiding immigrant communities and families, which is what has happened over the last two years," Jeffries said. (Fox News) Read more.

Lord God,
We pray over this aggressive agenda laid out by the House Democrats that comes against everything that President Trump has done for the American people. It is our prayer that Rep. Hakeem Heffries will be removed from his leadership position and that a person of integrity would fill his position.
Father, we know that Your eyes and ears are on our government in this time of change and we pray that You intercede in favor of righteousness. In this shaking, remove what needs to be removed and let righteousness reign in every position whether it be Democrat or Republican. In Your name, we pray. Amen and amen.
"Let true justice prevail, so that you may live and occupy the land that the Lord Your God is giving you." (Deuteronomy 16:20)

Report: Advanced-Stage Iranian Threats Force Bessent into Military Housing
|
|
|
|
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated with his family from his private residence to a military base after Iranian threats against his life escalated beyond an “advanced stage,” according to reports Tuesday.
The threats come as President Donald Trump has chosen to intensify the sweeping economic offensive against Iran spearheaded by Bessent, rather than resume major military operations, placing the Treasury secretary at the center of Washington’s strategy to economically isolate the Islamic Republic.
The New York Times first disclosed the relocation, citing three people familiar with the matter who said intelligence about threats against Bessent contributed to a broader U.S. assessment that Iranian plots targeting current and former American officials had reached a more advanced stage.
A senior administration official subsequently confirmed the move to Fox News, revealing that the threats against Bessent had progressed beyond an advanced stage and directly attributing Iran’s targeting of the Treasury secretary to his leadership of the administration’s economic campaign.
“Threats against Sec. Bessent reached more than an advanced stage, which is why he and his family made the move,” the official said. “The move shows that Treasury’s strategy regarding Iran is working because Iran is trying to get to the architect of that strategy,” the official added.
A Treasury Department spokesperson also confirmed the relocation, declaring that Bessent “will not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats” and remains committed to carrying out the administration’s economic offensive aimed at crippling Tehran’s economy.
Since August, Bessent has spearheaded Operation Economic Outcast, a sweeping campaign aimed at economically isolating Iran through intensified sanctions, a U.S. naval blockade restricting its oil exports, and measures targeting the international financial and commercial networks sustaining the regime.
The offensive extends beyond Iran itself, threatening foreign banks, businesses, and other entities facilitating Tehran’s trade with exclusion from the U.S. dollar-based financial system, while seeking to choke off oil revenues and funding for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
As Breitbart News reported, Bessent described the campaign as “the greatest economic isolation operation in the history of the world,” outlining an effort to financially suffocate the Iranian regime.
“We are going to asphyxiate this regime,” Bessent declared, describing the combination of sanctions and the naval blockade as “one of the most powerful one-two punches in the history of economic isolation.” (Breitbart) Read more here.

Is America Sleepwalking Into A Radical Islamist Takeover?
|
|
There's no shortage of takeaways from last Tuesday's shellacking, but one of the most unfortunate is the door the GOP's drubbing opened for radical Islam. In Michigan, which is sounding more like an arm of the Tehran propaganda machine every day, two of the most powerful offices are laying an unnerving groundwork for the nation's next chapter. As Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed openly warned in his victory speech, winning his seat was never the goal. "The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics." And that's what every American should be afraid of.
El-Sayed's success, which seemed impossible in a post-9/11 world, has ushered in an era of proud anti-Semitism and a growing concern that his religion -- which is predicated on non-Muslim hatred -- is starting to gain an eerie foothold in the halls of American government. "I'm honored to be the next United States senator from the great state of Michigan," El-Sayed told his new constituents, adding that the state is now "the capital of Arab America."
Arab America is one thing, experts would note, but when Arab America is just a front for the ultimate goal -- Sharia law -- the country should be very concerned. That much was clear from the congratulations that came pouring in from extreme Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who called it just one step in ensuring "Muslim political power lasts for the long haul." Any doubts about El-Sayed's ties to the terrorist-adjacent Brotherhood should have vanished with the group's jubilant celebration of the Colombia graduate. Senior officials hailed the win as a model for the religion to work from "within the political system" on behalf of the Islamic world. (Prophecy News Watch) Read More
