'God Is at Work':
Hundreds Flood Altar to Choose Christ
in Outreach at Site of Charlie Kirk Murder
|
|
Thousands of people worshipped Jesus, heard a transformational message about God's unconditional love, and made decisions of faith Sunday night at Utah Valley University, just two months after conservative and Christian commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated there.
Pastor Greg Laurie, founder of Harvest Crusades and senior pastor of Harvest Church in Southern California, preached the Gospel before thousands on the campus in Orem, Utah, as well as an online audience, during the one-day event, "Hope for America."
"Our one-night event at UVU in Utah was an astounding success! The people were so open, worshipful, and responsive to the Gospel. Many came to Christ," Laurie wrote on X. (CBN) Watch Event Here!

Father, we sing HALLELUJAH for the hundreds that made decisions for Jesus Christ at Utah Valley University at 'Hope for America". We praise Your Name for turning the location of Charlie Kirk's tragic death into a place of blessing, with an abundant harvest of new believers called into Your Holy Kingdom! We rejoice for our new brothers and sisters fully surrendering their lives to Christ. May each believer's life reflect miraculous transformation, causing others to desire to know Jesus and bringing many more into the Kingdom of God, all for His GLORY! In the Name and powerful Blood of Yeshua, we pray- Amen and Amen.
"Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 9-11)

Trump confirms plan to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudis, raising Israeli concerns
|
|
President Donald Trump announced Monday that he intends to sell advanced F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. “They want to buy, and I plan to sell them. Saudi Arabia is an incredible ally,” Trump said ahead of the crown prince’s visit to the White House on Tuesday.
The planned sale has sparked concern in Israel, which currently holds the region’s exclusive fleet of F-35s. Israeli officials have urged the U.S. to condition any transfer of the jets on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, citing the importance of maintaining Israel’s qualitative military edge.
Aharon Lapidot, a former Israeli Air Force commander and defense analyst, noted that the move could shift the regional balance of power.
“If Saudi Arabia indeed joins the select club that holds the American stealth fighter, the implication is not just another advanced jet in the region; it is a change in the basis of the balance of power,” Lapidot told Israel Hayom.
He added that Israel’s concern is not rooted in viewing Riyadh as an enemy, but in the need to safeguard its long-term strategic advantage in a volatile region. (World Israel News) Read more here.

O Holy One,
As we pray for discernment, we see a great shift taking place in the Middle East. We ask for great wisdom for President Trump and his administration as they partner with Saudi Arabia to sell them the advanced F35 stealth fighter jets. Allow our president to see that this deal could shift the regional balance of power and could make Israel more vulnerable. Lord, while financially, it would seem to be a great deal for the United States, yet in days to come, would it make our own nation more vulnerable in times of war? Father, You know all and see all! We ask you, Lord God, to oversee every deal that the US makes. In Jesus' name. Amen.
"Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation." (Isaiah 33:6)

Ben-Gvir to JNS: Israel ‘must maintain’ aerial superiority
|
|
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told JNS on Monday that the Jewish state “must maintain” aerial superiority in the region, commenting on the possible U.S. sale of F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia.
“We are in the Middle East—we cannot get confused. We extend a hand to anyone who truly wants to extend a hand and not harm the State of Israel, but we must preserve our superiority,” Ben-Gvir told JNS.
Jerusalem has reportedly signaled its opposition to the proposed sale of 48 fighter jets to Riyadh. Outgoing Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer raised concerns regarding the sale during a meeting with top officials in Washington last week, Kan News reported on Saturday.
President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was considering supplying Saudi Arabia with the state-of-the-art stealth warplanes.
“They wanna buy a lot of jets,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I’m looking at that. They’ve asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of ’35,’ but they want to buy actually more than that, fighter jets.”
According to Kan News, Jerusalem fears that the sale will lead to information leaks to Russia and China, allies of Saudi Arabia, and to the possible loss of the Israel Defense Forces’ qualitative military edge.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism Party) told JNS on Monday that he was “confident, with God’s help, that Israel’s security superiority will remain, in all aspects.”
“It’s a matter of national security and our dialogue with the Americans. How to maintain Israel’s advantage and security superiority; that’s what is being discussed behind closed doors,” Smotrich added. (JNS.org) Read more here.

Lord of Angel Armies,
As Israel faces yet another mountain, we ask for Your mighty hand of protection to hover over them. We come into agreement with the Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, 'that Israel must maintain aerial superiority in the region.' Father, we have confidence that You will not allow anything to happen out of Your timing concerning Israel. Lord, as we bow before your throne, we ask for mercy and safety for your nation, Israel, as they depend on you. Teach us, Father, to pray Your will be done in everything concerning Israel. We turn our eyes toward heaven and rest in peace knowing that You are Israel's shield. In Jesus' name we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
"Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord! He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights." (Deuteronomy 33:29)

‘Radical Left’ shutdown message ignites firestorm as Democrats push for federal probe
|
|
|
'This is an absurd claim and just a publicity stunt,' one expert said
|
|
|
Senate Democrats are requesting an investigation into what they say is "partisan messaging" that the Trump administration used on official government websites during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Adam Schiff of California and others are urging the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) to launch a probe into whether the Trump administration crossed a line and broke federal laws due to messages posted on official government websites that pinned the blame on Democrats for the shutdown.
"Some agencies’ announcements appeared to include nothing more than partisan messaging and lacked a connection to official business," lawmakers wrote in a letter, sent to GAO Nov. 9.
Specifically, the lawmakers pointed to messaging posted on the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s website, which stated on its website during the shutdown: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people." (Fox News) Read more here.

Lord Jesus,
Once again the Democratic Party has opened an investigation into what they claim was partisan messaging by the Trump Administration on a Government website during the shutdown. Lord, the American people are tired of all the arrogant investigations that are going back and forth for nothing! The government is upon Your shoulder, dear God. Open their blind eyes so that they may see the truth and be about the business of taking care of the American people. The web of deceit seems to follow them in everything that they do. Lord, let justice be done, and all these frivolous investigations and lawsuits fall by the wayside. Forgive them for spending the American peoples' money in surpassing investigations that lead nowhere. We are ready for all the pettiness to stop! Lord, oversee our government and expose everything that is not of you and remove from office those who are causing divisions and disagreements. Lord, lead this nation back to its roots of Christianity!
In Jesus' name we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
"Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished." (Proverbs 16:5)

Muslim Dearborn mayor weighs in on residents' complaints about mosque's call to prayer
|
|
|
Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said its noise levels were 'not an issue' despite residents' complaints at city council meetings
|
|
|
Dearborn, Michigan, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud responded to noise complaints about a mosque's call to prayer, saying it's "not an issue."
Hammoud discussed the concern on the Nov. 3 episode of the "Not From Here" podcast. Local Dearborn citizens have complained in recent months that a nearby mosque has been broadcasting the call to prayer on loudspeakers multiple times a day, beginning as early as 5:30 a.m.
Though residents raised concerns during a September city council meeting, Hammoud insisted that the call to prayer under a certain decibel level is allowed under city ordinances and has been part of Dearborn life for decades.
"I would tell you is, you know, those complaining about the call to prayer, I mean it's a very, very few, you still want to respect the wishes and, if you have a serious concern, I have to uphold the law across all boards," Hammoud said. "But we've done decibel readings at these mosques, all within threshold, all within legal limit. And so for me, it's not an issue."
He continued, "We also have to uphold our constitutional rights to freedom of religion. And I would say this, you know, that's the thing. I'm saying this as a Muslim. People, of course, are going to say this is a call to prayer, but like, you know, why are these complaints just coming forward now?"
"Yeah, elections are coming up," host Jaafar Issa remarked.

Father God,
As we come in prayer, let us see and pray in the Spirit over this article. Our nation is experiencing many growing pains because of divisions in religious beliefs. Your Word tells us that we are not to have any other gods before You. Forgive us, Lord, for opening up areas in our leadership that would create these divisions in our nation. Forgive Mayor Abdullah Hammound of Dearborn, Michigan for dismissing the complaints of Christian citizens who had concerns over the noise levels of the nearby mosques' call to prayer multiple times a day. We pray, Lord, for your direction, as we pray to cancel the many unbiblical doctrines that have seeped into our nation. In Jesus' name. Amen.
"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrines that you have been taught; avoid them." (Romans 16:17)

1. Israeli concern after UN endorses Trump plan with path to Palestinian state - JNS
In the hours leading up to the U.N. Council’s unanimous vote, 13-0, on Monday to approve a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing Washington’s 20-point plan for Gaza, experts told JNS that Israelis worry about the plan’s “pathway” to Palestinian statehood.
Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister, said the “deterioration” was due to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “silence,” and Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli national security minister, said his party would not be part of any government that agrees to a Palestinian state.
“It’s not only the right-wing ministers that are against this,” Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, told JNS. (Read more)

2. IDF warns sale of F-35 to Saudi Arabia could harm Israel’s military edge - JNS
The Israel Defense Forces has raised a formal objection to the possible U.S. sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, warning the move could harm Jerusalem’s qualitative military edge,Hebrew media reported on Tuesday.
An Israeli Air Force position paper shared with the country’s political echelon and obtained by Ynet warns that long-range operations carried out with the IAF’s F-35 fleet rely on exclusive access to the aircraft.
According to the IAF’s assessment, the deployment of identical stealth jets by Riyadh could undercut the Jewish state’s operational advantage. (Read more)

Bin Salman tells reporters alongside US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office that the pair had a “healthy discussion” on the issue.
“We’re going to work on that to be sure that we can prepare [for] the right situation as soon as possible to have that,” bin Salman says, referring to a pathway to a two-state solution.

4. Israel targets Hamas compound in south Lebanon - World Israel News
The IDF carried out an airstrike Tuesday night against a Hamas training compound in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, killing 13 people, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The strike was led by Northern Command and executed by the Israeli Air Force.
The targeted facility had long been monitored by the IDF, which had planned an operation for some time. Operational conditions aligned tonight, and after dozens of Hamas terrorists were identified at the site, the strike was carried out using precision-guided aircraft.
The compound was used to coordinate local Hamas cells in Lebanon and to train terrorists in planning attacks against Israel. According to Israeli assessments, most of those killed were relatively junior members rather than senior figures. (Read more)

2. California judge frees second murder suspect without bail as DA warns 'people's lives' are at risk - Fox News
A California judge has released a second murder suspect without requiring a cent in bail to be posted, just weeks after freeing another accused killer. Agustin Sandoval and Vicente Aguilera-Chavez were both charged with murder in connection with a June 8, 2017, shooting that left a 21-year-old dead and a 24-year-old injured, according to KTVU. The Sunnyvale, California, nightclub parking lot shooting was allegedly gang-related and resulted in the death of 21-year-old Edu Veliz-Salgado, according to Mercury News.
The case went cold until 2024, when detectives with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety identified the suspects in 2024. Both men were charged with the murder of Salgado, but a spokesman for the Santa Clara County District Attorney told Fox News Digital that Sandoval was the driver of the car that shots were fired from.
During a court hearing on Friday, Judge Hector Ramon released Sandoval on his own recognizance, meaning he does not have to pay bail, the spokesman said. (Read more)

3. Cloudflare outage impacts thousands, disrupts transit systems, ChatGPT, X and more - Associated Press
A widely used Internet infrastructure company said that it has largely resolved an issue that led to outages impacting users of everything from ChatGPT and the online game, “League of Legends,” to the New Jersey Transit system early Tuesday.
At 10:40 a.m. EST, Cloudflare said its engineers were still mitigating some lingering issues after they posted a fix for the outage, but that they were continuing to monitor for any further problems.
Other platforms that experienced outages Tuesday included the social media site X, Shopify, Dropbox, Coinbase, and the Moody’s credit ratings service. Moody’s website displayed an Error Code 500 and instructed individuals to visit Cloudflare’s website for more information. (Read more)

4. In blow to Trump, federal judges block new Texas congressional map - Politico
A panel of federal judges has blocked Texas’ newly redrawn congressional map — which made five districts in the state more favorable to Republicans — saying the plan appeared to be an illegal race-based gerrymander. In a 2-1 ruling, the court ordered Texas to rely instead on the boundaries legislators drew in 2021. The new map, the majority concluded, appears likely to be unconstitutional and was drawn at the urging of the Trump administration.
“The map ultimately passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor — the 2025 Map — achieved all but one of the racial objectives that DOJ demanded,” U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Galveston-based Trump appointee, wrote for the panel majority.
The decision is a massive blow in the White House’s push to redistrict across the country. Texas’ five-seat map represented the biggest gains for the GOP through redrawing. Republicans are expected to immediately appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. (Read more)

5. Americans deserve answers about Thomas Crooks and why he tried to assassinate Trump: Karoline Leavitt - New York Post
The American people deserve answers about what drove Thomas Crooks to attempt to assassinate President Trump, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post on ‘Pod Force One’— after a damning report emerged suggesting the gunman left a trail of digital clues the FBI did not previously share with the public.
“Those questions are definitely deserving of answers and I understand why the public wants those answers, and I believe the president does too,” Leavitt recently told Miranda Devine on Pod Force One.
“It’s a good question, and it’s one I’d like to see the answer to — and I think all Americans would,” she added. Leavitt’s comments came as Devine dropped a bombshell report in The Post Monday about newly unearthed social media posts that appear to show Crooks openly supporting political assassinations, ranting against Trump and using they/them pronouns online.

6. CREEPY CONNECTION: Trump shooter’s online accounts reveal ‘bizarre’ link to Kirk’s alleged assassin - DML News
In an op-ed Monday, Devine demanded a “better explanation” from the FBI and Secret Service about what led Crooks to attempt to assassinate Trump over a year ago in Butler, Pa. Devine wrote in her op-ed on Monday:
“Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section of Crooks’ online interactions from January to August 2020 when he did an ideological backflip and went from rabidly pro-Trump to rabidly anti-Trump and then went dark, never seeming to post again.
Among the 17 accounts uncovered by our source were ones on YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora.
The online interactions from when Crooks was ages 15 to 17 give us a better understanding of his evolution into an assassin, and invite more questions about what — or who — reversed his ideology.
Devin also revealed a strange connection between Crooks and Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson: they both had a bizarre interest in “furries” and exploring gender identity. She wrote: “He described himself with the pronouns “they/them” on the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for “furry” art and the “furry” community. (A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often as a sexual fetish.) Read more here.

The New Face of Fascism is the Same Old Face
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 18, 2025
Recently, there has been a disturbing rise in open hostility against Jews and the state of Israel. In Paris, a performance by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra was fire-bombed by anti-Israel protesters in an open attack on art and identity. In Birmingham, UK, the build-up to the soccer match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv showed how sports, which usually unites diverse fans, became a battleground for hatred. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators demanded the cancellation of the match, exclusion of Israeli teams, and chanted slogans such as “from the river to the sea” and “Death to the IDF.” To treat these as “just protests” misses the moral alarm bell this should be sounding across the free world.
What’s more alarming: in many of these protests the line between legitimate speech and incitement to genocide is being blurred, if not outright crossed. In New York, hundreds of protesters carrying Palestinian flags chanted for the elimination of Israel and often invoked the slogan “from the river to the sea,” which by its context erases the Jewish state. At the United Nations building in Manhattan, activists held banners demanding “revolution until victory” and displayed flags of organizations linked to terrorist ideology. When the right of existence for a people becomes the target, we’re no longer in the realm of protest. It crosses into the realm of existential threat. Free speech is sacred, but the right to live is fundamental. Read More

Trump pulling out all the stops to
welcome Saudi crown prince for first
White House visit since Khashoggi killing
|
|
|
|
President Donald Trump is planning to receive Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday with all the trappings of a state visit, sources familiar with the matter said, including a welcome ceremony in the morning and a formal dinner in the evening.
“We’re more than meeting,” Trump said late Friday as he flew to Florida for the weekend. “We’re honoring Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince.”
While the White House has decided to pull out all the stops, the visit cannot be classified as an official state visit as Prince bin Salman is not Saudi Arabia’s head of state. That position is occupied by his 89-year-old father, King Salman. But the crown prince has assumed almost all day-to-day responsibility for ruling the kingdom, and attends summits and other diplomatic engagements as the country’s leader.
On the eve of Prince bin Salman’s first visit to the White House in more than seven years, Trump announced that the US would be selling F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia — a controversial step that could alter the military balance in the Middle East.
“They’ve been a great ally,” Trump told reporters. “I will say that we will be doing that. We’ll be selling F-35s.”
Trump has worked to cultivate a close relationship with the kingdom’s de facto ruler in the hopes he will decide to establish diplomatic ties with Israel, which would be a major advancement of the president’s signature Abraham Accords — a longtime goal of the president’s.
“The Abraham Accords will be a part we’re going to be discussing,” Trump said Friday. “I hope that Saudi Arabia will be going into the Abraham Accords fairly shortly.”
With Tuesday’s visit, any semblance of a rupture in US-Saudi ties appears to have disappeared. The plans include a welcome ceremony involving military bands, a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office and a black-tie dinner in the evening.
The first tranche of invitations were sent out earlier this month and the guest list includes largely chief executives, as well as lawmakers and governors — some of whom Trump himself called to invite to the dinner, people familiar with the plans said. The event is being coordinated by first lady Melania Trump, as all state visits are planned through the first lady’s office.
Atop Trump’s agenda will be a discussion of Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel, a step he believes is within reach after he helped broker a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. (MSN.com) Read more here.

Father God, we do thank you that our nation has the finances to honor the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in this fashion. In this article, we can see that our relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been somewhat difficult over these past years. Even so, Lord Jesus, we know that, embedded in this visit and happening behind closed doors, is a Saudi agenda to create a two-state solution inside Israel. We continue to stand against this plan (even though the President supports it), because it does not align with Your Word for Israel. As plans continue to unfold between our two nations (behind closed doors or out in the open), we turn to You, Mighty One, to prevail. You, Lord God, and only You ARE the King of all kings, and the Lord of all lords! We praise Your Holy Name, amen and amen!
"He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords." (1 Timothy 6:15)

Saudi crown prince tells Trump Riyadh wants to join Abraham Accords, but only with Palestinian state
|
|
|
|
Saudi Arabia signaled a renewed interest in formal ties with Israel during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, marking the heir’s first visit to Washington in seven years.
According to U.S. officials, the crown prince told the president that Riyadh “wants to be part of the Abraham Accords – but also ensure a path to the two-state solution.”
After the talks, President Trump briefed reporters on the discussion, saying the prospect of an agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia received a positive response from the crown prince.
He also said the Saudis were prepared to play a central role in rebuilding Gaza and noted that bin Salman pledged to “definitely help” finance reconstruction.
During an extended public exchange in the Oval Office, President Trump said efforts to advance calm across the region were proceeding cooperatively. “The Palestinians are doing very well… We’re working very closely with a lot of people that make everybody happy, including Israel, the Palestinians and everybody,” he said, presenting the talks as part of a broader diplomatic push.
Still, any Saudi move toward the Abraham Accords will face political hurdles. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently rejected the creation of a Palestinian state, even as he welcomed the UN Security Council’s endorsement of President Trump’s Gaza framework, which contains elements pointing to a two-state requirement.
Israeli defense officials have also voiced concern that supplying F-35s to the Saudis could weaken Israel’s longstanding qualitative military edge. Jerusalem has previously intervened to block deliveries of advanced aircraft to states such as Turkey and the UAE, citing the same principle. (World Israel News) Read more here.

Archaeologists in Iraq discovered statues and wall carvings in the ancient city of Nineveh that display the lost grandeur of the Assyrian Empire.

Ancient Guardians Rise Again In Nineveh
In October 2025, archaeologists from the University of Heidelberg unearthed fifteen monumental lamassu statues and exquisite stone reliefs at Nineveh, once the thriving capital of the mighty Assyrian Empire. This discovery follows right on the heels of September’s find of a colossal winged bull, fulfilling one of the most remarkable archaeological seasons in Iraq in decades.
