‘Thank You, Lord!’: 
Hunter Missing For 20 Days Found Alive 
as God Intervenes With Stunning Miracle 
“Thank you, Lord!” Those were the words of a hunter who recently went missing and found himself lost in the woods of California. Ron Dailey, 65, wandered for 20 days and was found alive Saturday after initially planning just a one-day hunting expedition in the Sierra National Forest, ABC7 reported. When Dailey didn’t return home, his family contacted authorities, and a search commenced. He found himself with a destroyed vehicle and no way to navigate out of the situation.

Fortunately, Dailey had enough food for around two weeks and used his car as shelter. At first, he waited for help, but he told ABC7 he came to a realization: “You either try to walk out or you’re going to sit here and die.” Over his weeks in the woods, he lost his phone, trekked miles, and relied heavily on prayer. And it was that invoking of God that helped him get through — even when the situation seemed impossible.

Dailey started praying for a miracle as soon as his legs began to give out, according to The New York Post. “I can’t hardly walk anymore, Lord, you gotta help me Father God,” Dailey told God, noting what happened next. “I raised my head up, there was a car with headlights on and I go, ‘Oh God, thank you, Lord.'” Other hunters found him last weekend, and he’s now being monitored by doctors. (Faithwire)  Read More Here and Listen to Interview 
Father, thank You for sparing this hunter's life, allowing him to be rescued in time. We celebrate You as our God of MIRACLES, who hears every prayer from Your children! We pray this amazing testimony of God's rescue would bring many to seek El Roi, "The God who sees me."  We give praise for new revelation through personal encounters with Him. Bless and grow the faith of this man as he retires from hunting, proclaiming to the Lord he desires a new way of life! In Jesus mighty Name we pray, Amen!

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:8)

GOP unity shattered by controversial measure in government shutdown bill

The House is expected to vote next week on repealing a controversial measure in the bill that ended the government shutdown

It caused heartburn for House Republicans in the final days of the shutdown and provided fresh ammo for Democrats hoping to delay their federal funding legislation in its final hours.

The provision, tucked into the Legislative Branch appropriations bill and dubbed "Requiring Senate Notification for Senate Data," would allow senators directly targeted in former special counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation to sue the U.S. government for up to $500,000. 

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., who was involved in crafting part of the successful funding deal, told Fox News Digital he had even been afraid it could derail the final vote to end the shutdown. (Fox News) Read more here.

Lord, we speak peace over any division in this legislation and ask that You help those who were targeted by Jack Smith receive compensation commensurate to the damage done to them. We humbly ask for a move of repentance across our nation.

“The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.” (Acts 17:30)

Pete Hegseth Announces the Launch of 'Operation Southern Spear' to Protect 'America's Neighborhood' 
The best defense is offense, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Thursday as he outlined the purpose of the American military buildup near Venezuela.
“President Trump ordered action — and the Department of War is delivering. Today, I’m announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR,” Hegseth wrote in a post on X.
“Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and @SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people.”
“The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood – and we will protect it,” he wrote.
As noted by ABC, the U.S. has about 15,000 troops in the region now that the USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off of the South American coast. The Ford’s arrival comes after weeks of targeting boats operated by drug traffickers.
President Donald Trump was given military options during a Wednesday briefing over if he wanted to ramp up the pressure campaign against Venezuela.
If the U.S. and Venezuela come to blows, the South American nation will rely on Soviet-era military hardware, according to CNN. (Read more) 
Holy Lord, we bind any actions that would put America in harm’s way. We plead the Blood of Jesus over all US ships and troops. We declare victory over the narco-terrorists that have flooded our nation with dangerous drugs.

Coast Guard Spots Russian Spy Ship Just Miles From American Waters
The Coast Guard said Thursday that it encountered a Russian military vessel just outside of American territorial waters near Hawaii last month. 
The incident took place on October 29, after the Coast Guard detected a Russian vessel 15 miles off the coast of Oahu. Territorial waters extend 12 miles out from the shore, meaning that the Russian ship was within three miles of U.S. territorial waters. 
In response to the ship, the Coast Guard said that it conducted “a safe and professional overflight and transiting” near the Russian vessel involving an HC-130 Hercules airplane from Air Station Barbers Point and the William Hart, a Coast Guard cutter. 
“The U.S. Coast Guard routinely monitors maritime activity around the Hawaiian Islands and throughout the Pacific to ensure the safety and security of U.S. waters,” said Captain Matthew Chong, the chief of response for the Coast Guard Oceania District. “Working in concert with partners and allies, our crews monitor and respond to foreign military vessel activity near our territorial waters to protect our maritime borders and defend our sovereign interests.”
The Russian vessel was an intelligence ship built in 1986 for the Soviet Union and was equipped with close-in weapon systems and surface-to-air missile launchers.
The Coast Guard said that it was “monitoring the Russian vessel’s activities near U.S. territorial waters to provide maritime security for U.S. vessels operating in the area and to support U.S. homeland defense efforts.” (Daily Wire) Read more here 
Thank You, Lord, that this ship was spotted so that it can be monitored, as it has been previously. We bind any plans that Russia may have to cause disruption for our nation.

“Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.” (Psalm 121: 4-7)

Trump Makes ‘Breakthrough Trade Deals’ With 4 Countries To Lower Food Costs 
President Donald Trump secured “breakthrough trade deals” with Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Guatemala, setting up “more streamlined market access” for the United States and its four Western Hemisphere partners, the White House announced on Thursday.
The deals include both economic and national security commitments, which the White House promises will give American companies greater access to the Central and South American markets. Under the deals, the Trump administration is expected to lower tariffs on some food products, which could lower the cost of items such as coffee and bananas, according to a senior Trump administration official, Reuters reported. The finalized frameworks for the deals are expected to be completed within the next two weeks.
The White House announced the new trade agreements shortly after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promised that the administration was seeking to give Americans some relief at the grocery store. Bessent’s comments were a rare moment of the Trump administration acknowledging that Americans are feeling the sting of Trump’s tariffs, at least in some circumstances.
“These deals secure commitments on economic and national security issues to strengthen supply chains and trade partnerships in the region, deepening bilateral trade and investment cooperation to provide American exporters with unprecedented access to markets in Central and South America,” the White House said. “The deals will help U.S. farmers, ranchers, fishermen, small businesses, and manufacturers to increase U.S. exports to and expand business opportunities with these trading partners.” (Daily Wire)

Father, we thank You for these trade agreements that bring hope to Americans who are struggling with high grocery prices. We ask that the plan bring the prices down, and the President’s plans work for the betterment of the country.

“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” (Psalm  90:17)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Netanyahu vows to disarm Gaza in line with Trump plan - JNS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday emphasized his commitment to disarming the entire Gaza Strip as envisioned in U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for the coastal enclave.

“I want to address two specific issues,” Netanyahu said as he opened the weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday. “The first issue is the supposed ‘non-demilitarization’ of the part of Gaza still in Hamas’s hands. There will be no such thing. Under the 20-point plan, and in everything else, that area will be demilitarized and Hamas will be disarmed. Either this will happen the easy way or it will happen the hard way. I said this, and President Trump also said this,” the premier told journalists.

Netanyahu also reiterated his opposition to establishing a “Palestinian state on any territory west of the Jordan River,” rejecting Friday’s U.S.-backed statement calling for a “pathway” to Palestinian statehood. “I have been pushing back against these attempts for decades, doing so against external pressure as well as internal pressure. So I don’t need encouragement, tweets or lectures from anyone,” Netanyahu added. (Read more)

2. Israel rejects US-backed call for ‘pathway’ to Palestinian state - JNS

Jerusalem will not allow a Palestinian state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, rejecting a U.S.-backed statement calling for a “pathway” for creating “Palestine.”

“Our opposition to a Palestinian state on any territory west of the Jordan River exists, is firm, and has not changed in the slightest,” Netanyahu stated, speaking ahead of the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

“I have been pushing back against these attempts for decades, doing so against external pressure as well as internal pressure. So I don’t need encouragement, tweets, or lectures from anyone,” Netanyahu added.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar had declared earlier on Sunday that the Jewish state would “not agree to the establishment of a Palestinian terror state in the heart of the Land of Israel, at point-blank distance from all of its population centers and with topographical control over them.” (Read more)

3. IDF chief tours Gaza, says army must be ready to conquer more of Strip if needed - Times of Israel

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the military must be ready to seize additional territory in the Gaza Strip, beyond the current ceasefire lines, if necessary.

“In the Gaza Strip, we control more than 50% of the territory, without controlling the population. The Yellow Line serves as a line of encirclement and control, and we continue to act to prevent Hamas’s build-up by holding the [strategic] terrain and the gateways to Gaza,” Zamir says during a visit to the Rafah area of southern Gaza today.

“If required, we must be prepared for a rapid transition to a broad offensive to seize territory in the Gaza Strip on the other side of the Yellow Line,” he is quoted by the IDF as saying. (Read more)

4. Netanyahu vows to take action against extremist settlers, directs warning at ministers - Jerusalem Post

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the spike in West Bank settlerviolence and appeared to send a warning to political rivals, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, on Sunday.

“We are in an election year, and we are witnessing a campaign offensive, both within Likud and outside of it,” he said during the cabinet meeting. “There is a constant barrage of tweets – ‘I said this, I did this, I updated this’ – including on matters related to national security. I remind everyone that these issues are coordinated with the prime minister, who is responsible for them.”

Katz has become well known for his many posts, particularly on security matters, leading to speculation that Netanyahu’s remarks were directed at him. (Read more

5. In nighttime operation: IDF troops dismantle Hezbollah terror sites in southern Lebanon - Israel National News

Troops from the IDF's 228th Brigade and 300th Brigade, operating under the 91st Division, are operating to locate and dismantle terrorist infrastructures of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the southern Lebanon area.

During a night time operation in the area of Aitaroun in southern Lebanon, troops from the 228th Brigade dismantled several structures used by Hezbollah for terrorist activity. Recently, attempts to restore their use were identified.

In the village of Ramyeh in southern Lebanon, troops from the 300th Brigade carried out an operation to dismantle weapons. (Read more

1. AG Bondi announces DOJ investigation into Bill Clinton, other Democrats over alleged Epstein ties - Fox News

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday the Department of Justice (DOJ) will probe prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, after new emails released this week revealed ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In an X post Friday afternoon, Bondi said Jay Clayton, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, will take the lead on the investigation.
"Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country," Bondi wrote in the post. "As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people."
Bondi's response came after President Donald Trump took to social media to call for an investigation into notable Democrats and institutions allegedly connected to Epstein.

2: Noem Hands Out $10K Bonus Checks To Appreciative TSA Agents Who Stood Their Posts During Shutdown – Western Journal

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handed out several $10,000 bonus checks to TSA agents on Thursday who went “above and beyond” during the government shutdown to keep the American people safe.
With agents standing behind her at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Noem said that the checks would be going to TSA agents who displayed “exemplary service,” such as serving extra shifts unpaid, during the 43-day government shutdown, which ended Wednesday night.
“We will be continuing to not only recognize employees across the country, but we will be looking at every single TSA official that helped serve during this government shutdown, and do what we can to recognize that and help them financially with a bonus check to get them and their family back on their feet,” Noem explained.
She also thanked the private companies at the airport that helped TSA agents make ends meet during the shutdown.
“I just can’t say enough about the partnerships that we have been able to build in light of this tragic situation, when the Democrats shut down the government, that we still saw the best of America,” Noem said. (Read more here) 

Lord, we praise You for honoring those who were faithful during the shutdown.  As the country moves forward, we ask that not only will Your Spirit bring repentance, but a move of faithfulness where laziness and ignorance have reigned.

“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”  (1 Corin. 4:2)  

3: Rollins: ‘Next Step’ Is to Make ‘Everyone Reapply’ for SNAP to Ensure Integrity - Breitbart

On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed data on food stamps and said that data from blue states is “going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”
Rollins stated, “29 states, mostly the red states, responded with their data sets, February, March, April. … But here’s the most unbelievable news I have really, just over the last few days: That 5,000 dead people, that was just one month, the number is closer to 186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check. Now, that is what we’re really going to start clamping down on. Half a million are getting two. But here’s the really stunning thing: This is just data from those 29 mostly red states. Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data, what we’re going to find?” (Read more here) 

Father, we praise You for revealing the fraud hiding in the SNAP program. We ask that more and more of the hidden problems be shown and removed.

4: Fake News! Another BBC Programme Caught Editing Trump Speech- Breitbart

A second BBC programme has been found to have materially edited a speech from U.S. President Donald Trump to give the false impression that he encouraged violence before the January 6th riots in 2021.
Earlier this week, BBC Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness sensationally resigned in disgrace after it emerged that a Panorama documentary aired before last year’s elections had spliced different sections of President Trump’s speech on January 6th to give viewers the impression that he was calling on supporters to riot.
Furthermore, a leaked internal memo from a former ethics advisor found that BBC executives repeatedly ignored concerns over the “doctored” footage, which “materially misled” its audience, and left the documentary up on its iPlayer streaming service for a year.
In response, President Trump announced that he intends to sue the British state broadcaster for up to $1 billion (£760m), saying that he felt an “obligation” to take legal action against the BBC for having “defrauded the public”.

Legacy media figures, including some from the BBC, have attempted to claim that the resignations of Davie and Turness were a product of a right-wing “conspiracy” and that it represented an attempt to stage a “coup” to take over the reins of the publicly funded broadcaster, which by dint of its special right to impose an effective tax on British people to fund its operations is mandated to remain politically neutral.

Lord Jesus, we pray for a fresh beginning for all media organizations, that they would be freed from the bias and hatred of President Trump. Please stop these falsehoods and bring truth to the media. Let this lawsuit progress and bring vindication to President Trump.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)  

5: Suspect arrested after attack on Alina Habba's office, Pam Bondi says- MSN

A suspect has been arrested in connection with an attack on acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba‘s office that occurred earlier this week, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Thanks to the great work of @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and @HSI_HQ the suspect wanted in the attack on @USAttyHabba’s office is now in custody,” Bondi posted on X on Saturday morning. “No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great US Attorneys or the destruction of their offices.”
Habba also confirmed the arrest.
“We got him,” she wrote on X. “This @TheJusticeDept under @AGPamBondi and our federal partners will not tolerate any acts of intimidation or violence toward law enforcement. So grateful to @FBI @HSI_HQ and @USMarshalsHQ for their tireless work to capture him. Now justice will handle him.” (Read more)

Holy Lord, this violence against law enforcement and US attorneys must stop!  We ask that everyone who dwells in the midst of violent thoughts and desires be brought to repentance.

6: As Sudan Spirals Out of Control, Rubio Says U.S. Is Trying to Stop the Slaughter- The Washington Stand

While the rest of the world sees the terror in Sudan from fuzzy satellite images, the real pictures are etched on the minds of the survivors like physical scars. As more people crawl the 40 miles to safety in Tawila, the sickening story of what’s unfolded in El Fasher since October 26’s siege is almost too gruesome to imagine. One man, who escaped the killing ground that was the local hospital, looks haunted as he explains that he has lost all of his colleagues in the massacre. “It feels as if you lost a big part of your body or your soul,” Ahmed admits.
When the Rapid Special Forces (RSF) broke down the barriers and flooded the city, overwhelming the Sudanese military, he was working as a lab tech when shots started ringing out across the compound. “There was a state of terror, and as we walked, drones were bombing us. And heavy artillery too. I saw many people die on the spot. There was no one who could save them,” Ahmed told the BBC. Almost every doctor, nurse, and patient was slaughtered. A handful, he explains, were kidnapped for ransom. Others were lined up and executed. His own sister and two brothers were murdered — and his parents, like so many from El Fasher, are still missing. “They may be killed,” he conceded emotionally. “And they may be used as human shields against the airstrikes.”
RSF’s control of the city, now in its third week, has only deepened the communications blackout. “The true scale of the crisis,” the United Nations warns, “is likely far worse than reported.” Even the fragile system for delivering aid and relief is “on the brink of collapse,” officials admit. The fate of tens of thousands of people, trapped in El Fasher without food or hope, is unknown. (Read more)

Father, as this situation grows worse and more people are murdered, we pray for an answer from Your throne that will protect and save those who are left of the victims. We ask that Your Spirit come to bring peace in a mighty move of repentance and hope.

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6) 

Psychotherapist says 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is real pathology, plaguing 75 percent of his patients

Manhattan-based psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert told Fox News on Friday that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS) is a real psychological issue he has seen firsthand in his practice, with three-quarters of his patients exhibiting symptoms.

During an interview with "The Faulkner Focus," Alpert said patients have come into his office exhibiting symptoms of mental distress stemming from their fear or anger toward President Donald Trump

"This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far to call it the defining pathology of our time," Alpert said. TDS is a term generally used by Trump supporters to disparage what they view as hysterical or irrational critics of the president.

Alpert described some of the symptoms he’s observed in patients he believes are suffering from TDS.  "It doesn't take long for me to pick up on this: people are obsessed with Trump, they’re fixated, they’re hyper-fixated on Trump. And they talk about some of the features of this disorder — they can’t sleep, they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump, they feel restless," he said.

"I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered," he added.

Alpert explained that for these patients, the mere mention or image of Trump triggers intense mental distress. (Fox News) Read more here.  

Father, this situation literally proves Your Word is true. Things that cause us to fixate on one certain person or situation make us slaves to it. We pray that the people suffering from this malady will be able to come to their senses and recognize that You are their only hope.

“Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.” (John 8:34) 

Trailer Park Near Military Base Linked to Chinese Communist Party:The Base Commander Had No Clue

Rep. Mark Alford, a Republican from Missouri, said Tuesday on NewsNation that a former commander of Whiteman Air Force Base was completely unaware of a nearby trailer park allegedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

Whiteman Air Force Base, home to America’s nuclear-capable B-2 bombers, shares a fence with a trailer park allegedly linked to the CCP.

In an interview with “On Balance With Leland Vittert,” Alford said he had personally spoken with the former base commander, who retired just two days before the top-secret “Midnight Hammer” strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June 2025.

“I just talked to the former commander of the base who retired two days before the Midnight Hammer strike, and he wasn’t aware that this existed. The problem is that CFIUS [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] needs to step up its game, and we’re going to help in doing that,” Alford told Vittert.

“These are transactions that happened in the past. I think CFIUS is concentrated now on present transactions and those going forward. I think we need to take a look back at transactions maybe in the last 10 years.”

Alford said the Treasury Department unit failed to scrutinize the Whiteman property despite its proximity to America’s stealth bomber fleet.

“We get CFIUS under the Treasury Department, and I’m on the Financial Services General Government Appropriations Subcommittee, which oversees that, and we get them on the ball. I’m not blaming this on Secretary Bessent whatsoever. This goes back, I think, to the Biden administration. They did not even put Whiteman Air Force Base on their list of scrutiny,” Alford said.

Business filings show a tangle of shell companies created specifically to buy the trailer park next to Whiteman Air Force Base. (The Western Journal) Read more here.  

Father God, we thank You that this scheme has been uncovered, and that steps will now be taken to examine all of the CFIUS [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] files going back up to ten years. We praise You, O Lord, that Your hand has protected the stealth bombers that were positioned inside the Whiteman Air Force Base. May all other similar schemes perpetrated by the CCP be uncovered quickly and destroyed. Thank You, O Lord, that You continually watch over our nation for our protection, In Your Name, we offer this prayer, amen and amen!

" For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." (Mark 4:22)  
US Backs Palestinian Statehood as International Recognition Accelerates

In a stark shift that threatens to upend Israel’s security doctrine, the United States orchestrated a joint statement Friday endorsing “a pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” as part of efforts to resolve the Gaza conflict. The statement—signed by Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey—marks Washington’s most explicit backing yet of a Palestinian state, even as President Donald Trump claims he remains undecided on the issue.

The joint declaration goes beyond the conditional language of Trump’s 20-point plan, which states that conditions “may” create “a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” once Gaza reconstruction advances and Palestinian Authority reforms are implemented. Instead, Friday’s statement treats statehood as a certainty, calling the process a “viable path towards peace and stability” and urging “swift adoption” of a US resolution at the UN Security Council to establish an International Stabilization Force in Gaza.

For decades, US foreign policy was based on the creation of a Palestinian state. The Two-State Solution would create an unprecedented militarized Arab state inside Israel’s borders, ethnically cleansed of Jews, with its capital in an exclusively Muslim Jerusalem. This would require a return to the ceasefire lines drawn up after the defensive 1967 Six-Day War that are considered to be indefensible against an Arab threat. The UN resolution violates the Oslo Accords which require any resolution concerning Judea and Samaria to be the result of bilateral negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

By rejecting the Two-State solution, President Trump negotiated the Abraham Accords in 2020, normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. 

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz responded with unequivocal rejection on Sunday: “Israel’s policy is clear: A Palestinian state will not be established.” He vowed that Gaza would be “demilitarized down to the last tunnel” and Hamas disarmed, whether by the IDF or an international force. 

Trump’s position on Palestinian statehood remains contradictory. Despite the language in his 20-point plan, he has admitted in recent weeks that he has not decided whether to back a Two-State solution. Yet the US draft resolution being prepared for the UN Security Council explicitly includes the term “Palestinian state,” and Washington is leveraging the issue to pressure Saudi Arabia into normalizing relations with Israel. Riyadh has made clear that official ties depend on Israel committing to Palestinian statehood.

The Palestinian Authority welcomed Friday’s statement, with chief Mahmoud Abbas affirming “the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and to establish their independent Palestinian state.” He declared his government “ready to assume its full responsibilities in the Gaza Strip.”

Israel’s right-wing coalition erupted in fury. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded that Netanyahu “make clear to the whole world that a Palestinian state will never be established.” He accused the prime minister of “silence and diplomatic disgrace” after promising a firm response in September when several countries recognized “Palestine” unilaterally. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir declared he would not remain in any government that permits Palestinian statehood, stating bluntly: “There is no such thing as a ‘Palestinian people’—it is an invention with no historical, archaeological, or factual basis.” (Israel365News) Read more here.

Deadly bacteria that doomed Napoleon's army discovered 213 years after Russian retreat
Scientists discover new pathogens in teeth of French soldiers from 1812 mass grave

Scientists say they've discovered traces of the deadly pathogens that ravaged Napoleon's soldiers during his doomed 1812 retreat from Russia — offering a clearer picture of the circumstances of the French general's downfall.

A study published in the journal Current Biology on Nov. 3 analyzed DNA from the teeth of French soldiers who were buried in a mass grave in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The soldiers served under Napoleon during his disastrous invasion of Russia in the winter of 1812. They were among the roughly 300,000 French Grande Armée soldiers who perished in the campaign.

The teeth contained bacteria that causes paratyphoid fever and louse-borne relapsing fever, said the researchers — indicating that several infections circulated among the soldiers who were weakened by hunger and the freezing temperatures.

A Special Message
The Sinner's Prayer
"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."
