Christian Education Network Launched to Expand School Choice Scholarships Nationwide
|
|
|
A new federal school choice initiative is being hailed as the “greatest evangelism opportunity since the Billy Graham crusades,” with supporters expecting it to expand access to Christian education for millions of American children beginning in 2027. The Ohio-based Center for Christian Virtue has established the Christian Education Network Scholarship Granting Organization to provide financial assistance to families seeking Christian schooling. The initiative will operate under the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, for which the U.S. Department of the Treasury released proposed regulations earlier this month.
Starting Jan. 1, 2027, qualifying taxpayers will be eligible for tax credits of up to $1,700 when contributing to approved scholarship-granting organizations. Those contributions will fund educational expenses, including tuition at Christian schools. “We have seen school choice tax credits, like the one President Trump enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill, be transformational for Christian education,” Aaron Baer, president of the Center for Christian Virtue, told The Christian Post during a visit to Washington, D.C., this week. “It mirrors a program about 20 states have, including Ohio.”
Baer said the initiative could allow families nationwide to pursue faith-based education, provided Christians support the effort. He described the program as the “greatest evangelism opportunity since the Billy Graham crusades,” saying families “are going to be able to access a high-quality Christian education if the body of Christ is able to step up and respond. That’s what we’re working on is how do we prepare the states, prepare the Church, prepare Christians to maximize this once in a lifetime opportunity,” Baer stated.

Abba, we celebrate this exciting opportunity for Christian families to receive scholarships for student's education. We are grateful for the states that have already joined the program, affirming the importance of 'school choice'. May all efforts to provide easier access to Christian Education bring great success through higher enrollment numbers. Bless children across our nation attending local Christian institutions and cause this initiative to be successful. In Jesus Name we declare students will continue to grow in knowing the Lord intimately, and will be used mightily throughout their future, spreading the great news of the Gospel! In Jesus Mighty Name we pray - Amen.

Trump names Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff to replace Susie Wiles
|
|
|
Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles, who President Donald Trump said did "a great job"
|
|
Stephen Miller, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, will replace Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump announced Friday.
"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
In an X post announcing her departure, Wiles said serving under Trump was the "honor of a lifetime."
"I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First," she wrote. "More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will."

Holy God of the Future, we thank You for Susie Wiles’ service to the President and the nation. We praise You for the strength of Stephen Miller and ask that You guide him with Your wisdom and truth as he takes over this important position.

DOJ civil rights chief Harmeet Dhillon resigns, says White House asked her to wait until after midterms
|
|
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon is resigning as head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, telling Fox News Digital exclusively that she made the decision weeks before Republicans' midterm losses and was asked by White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to delay her departure until after the election.
"I wasn't asked to resign," Dhillon told Fox News Digital. "I resigned three weeks ago, and Susie asked me to please wait until after the midterms." Dhillon formally submitted her resignation on November 5, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
Dhillon said she informed Wiles three weeks before Election Day that she believed she had "accomplished everything" she came to Washington to do and wanted to return to private practice. Asked if she would testify before Congress if subpoenaed after leaving the administration, Dhillon said there would be limits on what she could discuss because of executive privilege but indicated she would seek legal advice and follow it. "I would certainly take legal counsel and follow it in that regard," she said.
Dhillon was also asked whether she expected Trump to pardon her or other administration officials if congressional Democrats sought to target them. (Fox News) Read more here.

CAIR suspends Florida operations as federal court upholds state's terror designation
|
|
CAIR also stopped accepting donations from people living or located in Florida and instructed Florida residents against joining its mailing lists or otherwise engaging with the organization.
The embattled Council on American-Islamic Relations has suspended its Florida operations as Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Thursday that a federal court rejected the organization’s attempt to block the state’s domestic terrorist designations.
“This morning, a federal court upheld Florida’s Domestic Terrorist Organization law and rejected CAIR’s attempt to stop the designations,” Uthmeier wrote on X. “Great win by our Solicitor General’s office and for the people of Florida!”
The announcement followed reports Wednesday that CAIR had indefinitely suspended operations in Florida. A notice posted at its Temple Terrace office near Tampa blamed Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials, calling their enforcement of the designation law unconstitutional. CAIR also stopped accepting donations from people living or located in Florida and instructed Florida residents against joining its mailing lists or otherwise engaging with the organization.

Thank you, Lord, for this one bright spot of victory in the midst of encroaching darkness. We pray that Your people will awaken to the dangers of these organizations and find a way to stop them in all states.

Supreme Court quickly rejects Trump DOJ request to intervene on California ballots
|
|
The Supreme Court on Monday denied the Trump administration's bid to sequester mail ballots from California voters whom the federal government claimed it had "identified as likely noncitizens."
The rejection came in an unexplained order without any justices noting dissent. That is not unusual for emergency litigation. But a notable aspect of this rejection of the administration is how quickly it came from the full court and without the court even calling for a response from the opposing party first.
The Department of Justice turned to the high court after a divided appellate panel refused to order the Democratic-led state to separate out more than 20,000 ballots and establish a process to verify the citizenship status of those voters before counting them. (Yahoo News)

Lord, sometimes these competing court rulings give us whiplash. We pray for righteous rulings that will cause states to refuse noncitizen voting and bring about fair and free elections. The Constitution forbids noncitizen voting, so we ask that America adhere to the rules. We bind the plans that seek to change the demographics of our nation and ask for Your intervention to prevent any further upset.
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)

1. Herzog picks Eisenkot to form Israel’s next government - i24 News
President Isaac Herzog announced Saturday night that he would task Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot with forming Israel’s next government, giving the former military chief the first chance to assemble a coalition after the October 27 election left neither him nor Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a clear path to power.
Herzog invited Eisenkot to the President’s Residence on Sunday at 5 p.m. to formally hand him the mandate. Eisenkot will have 28 days to form a government, with a possible extension of up to 14 days.
Parties representing 67 of the Knesset’s 120 members recommended Eisenkot, while 46 backed Netanyahu. United Torah Judaism, a longtime Netanyahu ally with seven seats, recommended neither candidate.
The four parties at the core of Eisenkot’s proposed emergency government won 48 seats. Ra’am and the Joint List, which won 19 seats between them, both recommended him, but Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman has ruled out relying on the Arab parties to form a government. (Read more}

In a statement published on Netanyahu’s X account, the Prime Minister’s Office emphasized Israel’s economic strength and the longstanding security benefits of American assistance for both countries.

4. 14 ‘anti-Israel’ activists arrested in West Bank during Palestinian olive harvest to be deported - Times of Israel
Fourteen “anti-Israel” foreigners are facing deportation after they were arrested alongside three Palestinians in the central West Bank on suspicion of disturbing public order, police said Sunday.
During the detainees’ interrogation, it emerged that they intended to produce “anti-Israel media campaigns,” and that some of them support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, police said, adding that the investigation of the three Palestinians is ongoing.
Israel has restricted the entry of foreign BDS activists for years. A law passed in 2017 allows authorities to deny entry to foreign nationals who publicly call for a boycott of Israel or work on behalf of organizations that advocate such boycotts, including boycotts targeting West Bank settlements. The law does not apply to Israeli citizens or permanent residents. (Read more)

1. Oklahoma Man Charged in Connection with Sending Threatening Letters Containing Non-Toxic White Powder to Election and Government Officials Across the Country- DOJ
Robin Patrick Martin, 67, of Oklahoma City, has been charged with conveying false or misleading information and hoaxes and mailing threatening communications in connection with threatening letters mailed to state election officials, members of Congress, the FBI and others.
“As alleged, Martin mailed letters containing white powder to hundreds of state and federal officials, a calculated attempt to terrorize public servants,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “These officials were left to open those letters not knowing if the powder inside could sicken or even kill them, and that was the evident intent. Intimidation like this has no place in a Nation governed by the rule of law, and the National Security Division will investigate and prosecute these cases to the fullest extent appropriate.”
“Threatening election officials and attempting to intimidate public servants is a serious federal offense and will not be tolerated,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester for the Western District of Oklahoma. “Working alongside our federal law enforcement partners, we are committed to investigating these threats and holding accountable those who seek to spread fear and intimidation in our communities.” (Read more)

Lord, we thank You that this white powder was non-toxic and that no one was injured. We ask that this man be brought to repentance and experience heart change from Your Holy Spirit.

2. Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise Set To Wrestle For Top House GOP Spot After Mike Johnson Steps Aside - IJR
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan launched their bids Wednesday to become their party’s next leader after losing the majority.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he would not seek a leadership role after Democrats regained the majority in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Scalise and Jordan will face off on Tuesday seeking to become the minority leader in the 120th Congress.
“To succeed in this fight, we will need to stand united as one team, be smart and strategic to secure conservative policy wins where we can, closely coordinate our defense against aggressive oversight and together develop a clear vision and agenda to earn back the majority in 2028,” Scalise said. “That is why I’m running to be your Republican Leader—I am ready to lead on day one and chart our path back to the majority.” (Read more)

3. Grocery store cyberattacks are ‘psychological warfare’ that could strike US, former FBI agent warns- Fox News
Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker warned that the next attack on Americans’ sense of security could come through the grocery aisle after suspected hackers have turned up supermarket freezer temperatures in Europe and fueled fears that everyday necessities could become weapons of "psychological warfare."
Parker warned that cyberattacks targeting the systems people rely on for food and other essentials could also strike the United States.
"Every human being has to eat," Parker told Fox News Digital. "This is the grocery store."
Commissary Agency and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service to determine what caused refrigeration failures at military commissaries in August, an Army CID spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Investigators are also working with French law enforcement as they examine whether the U.S. failures could be linked to refrigeration outages in Europe. A cyberattack has not been established as the cause of the military commissary malfunctions. (Read more)

4. House GOP launches defense plan to shield Trump from looming Democrat investigations - Fox News
House GOP leadership is giving Republican lawmakers a new playbook to go up against an expected barrage of Democrat-led investigations in the new Congress.
Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., wrote a letter to the current chairs of House committees on Thursday warning them to "maximize our remaining days in power to prepare for what is coming" with instructions on how to brace for those expected probes. A source sent a copy of that letter to Fox News Digital.
"House Democrats have signaled they intend to impeach President Trump, but they will not stop there. They will weaponize every single gavel to appease their radical base," Scalise said. "They will use their oversight authorities to harass the President, his family, cabinet officials, and they will seek to destroy our allies. You all will be a key line of defense in this fight."
The guidance includes three key points: "taking inventory" of current and likely future investigative efforts by Democrats while they are in the minority, identifying who is on Democrats' target list, and reviewing how recent Supreme Court rulings as well as a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo on executive privilege could factor into future investigations.

Thank You, Lord for wisdom. We ask that Republicans prepare and leave nothing exposed for the Democrats to seize on. Bring Your Justice to bear in protecting those who have done no harm and shore up all avenues of Your protection. Where repentance is needed, we pray that it will occur.

5. Democrat drops out of race due to health concerns and still wins; opponent says, 'We deserve to know more'- Fox News
A Democratic candidate who dropped his campaign for health reasons still defeated the Republican candidate in an Iowa state House race. Democrat Eric Armstrong explained in a Sept. 7 Facebook post that he was abandoning his campaign due to health issues.
"Running a successful campaign requires immense physical and mental energy. Recently, I have been facing some personal health issues that require my full attention and immediate care," Armstrong wrote, in part. "Because I must prioritize my health and recovery at this time, I am stepping down from my campaign, effective immediately. This was a deeply difficult choice. However, I know it is the right one."
"Our District deserves a representative who can give 100 percent of their energy to this race. Right now, I must focus on healing so that I can continue to serve our community in other ways in the future."
Despite this announcement, Armstrong's name remained on the ballot, and voters still elected him. Unofficial results indicate that Armstrong received 4,602 votes, while Republican Keith Jones, who is a member of the Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors, received 3,737 votes. (Read more)

Lord, this midterm election is strange - electing people who didn’t want to be elected, voting for people who hate You, all of which is a terrible stain on America. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to bring righteousness and repentance to our nation, revival for Your church, and awakening for all others.
“And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:2-4)

6. Nancy Pelosi's preferred successor loses California House race to Scott Wiener - Fox News
The Associated Press projects that Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener will defeat fellow Democrat Connie Chan in California’s 11th Congressional District, succeeding retiring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Pelosi, who endorsed against Wiener, announced her resignation late last year.
Because of California’s jungle primary, only the top two candidates progress to the general election. In the case of California’s 11th District, Chan and Wiener, both Democrats, ensured the seat would remain under Democratic control after they advanced in June.
Wiener has pitched himself as an experienced lawmaker with a track record of addressing key issues facing the country like affordability and housing. He has also highlighted his support for the LGBTQ+ community.
In a Wednesday statement, Pelosi praised Chen despite her loss. "Connie Chan brought courage, conviction and a deep love for San Francisco to this campaign," Pelosi said. "As a working mom, a public servant, and an immigrant, she gave voice to families whose struggles she knows firsthand. I was proud to support her, and I am so proud of the campaign she ran."
The longtime House Speaker also congratulated Weiner, saying, "Representing San Francisco is an extraordinary honor and a profound responsibility. My office stands ready to assist in the transition, and I wish him success in service for the people of our City. "For nearly four decades, San Franciscans have entrusted me with the privilege of being their voice in the House. My gratitude is boundless, and my confidence in our city’s future remains strong. Our work for a fairer, more just America continues," Pelosi concluded her statement. (Read more)

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

War Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Congress Thursday to approve at least $350 billion in defense funding while pushing back against efforts to impeach him.
In a video posted to X, Hegseth defended his Pentagon overhaul, including eliminating DEI initiatives, removing military leaders and rebuilding recruitment.
Hegseth dismissed the impeachment push as political theater while defending his efforts to overhaul the Pentagon and advance President Donald Trump's military agenda.
"We need every vote from every patriotic member of Congress," Hegseth said, calling for a reconciliation bill of at least $350 billion to strengthen the military and defense industrial base. (Fox News) Read more here.

3 Reasons Florida Didn't Go Blue Like Texas
|
|
|
|
Call it a tale of two states. Both Republican-run. Both prosperous. Both heavily populated states that influence the rest of the nation. Yet in the blue tsunami, the results in Texas and Florida were very different.
“In January … of the 10 largest states in this union, only one state will have Republican control of their state, the state of Florida,” Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said Wednesday. “Last night we witnessed — to call it a wave, I don’t think would be fully accurate — it’s the political equivalent of a meteor strike that went all around the United States. Blue states, red states, everything in between,” DeSantis, a two-term governor, pointed out. “And the one state that was able to hold the line and withstand that is right here in the free state of Florida.”
Why was the outcome in Florida so different than in Texas, which DeSantis referred to as Florida’s “chief rival, in a healthy sense”?
“No one holds a candle on the Republican side to the Lone Star State. And yet, not only did they lose a very highly publicized U.S. Senate race, they lost everything,” DeSantis lamented.
Yet, while the states have much in common, there were three notable differences when it came to the 2026 election.
1. Affordability on the Ballot
2. Florida’s Cuban Voters
3. An Actual Socialist Senate Candidate
“The Republicans are rejoicing today about their wins; they should take a harder look at the numbers and realize that Florida is back to being purple,” warned Nikki Fried, chair of the Florida Democratic Party.
As both parties look to 2028, Florida offers plenty for strategists to consider.

Father God, we thank You for the example set by the voters in the State of Florida, May we all take heed to their example, and may we learn from our own mistakes. Thank You, O Lord, amen and amen!

Remembering Kristallnacht
November 9-10, 1938
|
|
|
|
On the night of November 9–10, 1938, the persecution of the Jewish people took a devastating turn. Kristallnacht, known as the “Night of Broken Glass,” saw synagogues burned, Jewish businesses destroyed, and more than 30,000 Jewish men arrested and sent to concentration camps across Nazi Germany and Austria.
This violence did not happen suddenly. It was organized by the Nazi government and followed years of discrimination under the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, which stripped Jews of German citizenship and prohibited marriage between Jews and non-Jews. Other laws and decrees took away their rights, livelihoods, and freedoms. In the months that followed, Jewish children were banned from schools, Jewish businesses were taken away, and pressure to leave Germany increased. These were further steps toward the horrors of the Holocaust.
To learn more about that night and what led up to it, we invite you to watch this brief overview from Yad Vashem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpJvQuzyhtg
We are reminded in Scripture to: “Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations” Deuteronomy 32:7 NKJV. We are also reminded of God's words concerning His people: “He who touches you touches the apple of His eye” Zechariah 2:8b NKJV.
As believers, we are called to stand with the Jewish people today. May we continue to remember, pray, and support the return of God's people to the Land of Israel.
Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and commitment to the Aliyah of God's people.
God bless you,

Archaeologists in San Antonio, Texas, have announced the discovery of two solid cannonballs from the Battle of the Alamo — each offering new physical evidence of the historic battle.
The discovery, made along the perimeter of Alamo Church in San Antonio, was announced in late October.
Officials from the Alamo Trust said the cannonballs were uncovered during ongoing archaeological excavations at the site, and that they "help us remember those individuals that were living here, during the battle," said Tiffany Lindley, head archaeologist at the Alamo Trust.
The solid-shot cannonballs vary in size, with the smaller measuring 1.8 inches in diameter and the larger measuring 3.26 inches.
The measurements correspond to 1-pounder and 6-pounder cannons, respectively.
The discovery follows two other finds made earlier this year: a 4-pounder cannonball found in March, on the eve of the battle's 190th anniversary, and a 6-pounder cannonball found in June. The total number of found cannonballs is now four.
Photos show archaeologists carefully cleaning the newly discovered cannonballs, which appear heavily weathered and discolored.
The Battle of the Alamo was one of the most important events in Texas history.
