Gen Z rising across the world against corruption
|
|
In the weeks since Nepal’s turnover, Gen Z protests have occurred in the Philippines, Madagascar, Peru, and Morocco. Since 2024, Serbia and Kenya have also experienced anti-government demonstrations. The motivations have varied within each nation, but all have the theme of young adults who want to see corruption removed from their countries.
“I think the soul knows when things are wrong. You feel compassion for these people [who are] living in countries where the situation has gotten to the point that even these young people are like, ‘Hey, that’s corruption, and that’s not okay,'” says Denise Godwin with International Media Ministries. She adds that if God intervenes, “this is a generation that could hold people to account and ask for a government that takes care of their people.” (Mission News) Read More Here

- Abba Father, we praise You for what is happening not only in the United States but around the world within the Gen Z generation! This generation of young souls seek truth, justice and accountability for actions. Many are boldly standing up, speaking out against lies and desiring to protect truth and honor. We pray that protests around the world by these young individuals would lead them to transformation and genuine encounters with Jesus! Let hunger continue to grow in their souls for righteous living, leading them to walk by the power of the Holy Spirit and to fight for the cause of Christ bringing REVIVAL upon the nations! In Yeshua's mgihty and powerful Name we pray, Amen and Amen.
- "Then he said to me, 'This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven's Armies'" (Zechariah 4:6)

Trump plans whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt before rushing back to White House for Charlie Kirk honor
|
|
|
President will address Knesset and visit Egypt before returning for Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony
|
|
President Donald Trump said Friday he plans to travel to Israel and Egypt before quickly returning to Washington, D.C., to honor the late Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he will address Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, and then visit Cairo as part of a trip marking the historic peace deal he secured between Israel and Hamas. He is expected to return to the White House to honor Kirk on Tuesday, Oct. 14 — which would have been the conservative activist’s 32nd birthday.
"It's not easy for me to get back. It's a very quick trip, but I'll be making two major stops, and then I'll be on the plane trying to get back in time for Charlie," Trump said Friday. "They're going to have a great celebration at the White House — in the East Room of the White House."
The President will arrive in Israel early Monday, where he is expected to deliver an address at the Knesset and meet with recently freed hostages, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel. Under the peace deal, Hamas must hand over all 48 living and deceased hostages within a 72-hour window that began Friday night local time.
"They're getting them, and they're also getting the bodies, approximately 28 bodies. … It's a tragedy," Trump said. "… I'll be going to Israel. I'll be speaking at the Knesset, I think early on, and then I'm also going to Egypt."
Egypt will host an international summit in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday to finalize the peace agreement. More than 20 world leaders, including Trump, are expected to attend, an Egyptian presidential spokesperson said Saturday, according to Reuters.
"I'll go to Cairo, I think that's where we're going, as opposed to the place of the signing," Trump told reporters. "We have a lot of leaders from all over the world coming too. I know they've been invited."
Trump is scheduled to return to Washington by Tuesday for the White House ceremony honoring Kirk, who was assassinated Sept. 10 during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University.
"And then I'm coming back, I believe it's Tuesday night for Charlie Kirk, a friend of mine, a friend of all of us, a friend of a lot of the people right here," Trump said. The president called the event a "great celebration," noting that Erika Kirk, the activist’s widow, and many others will be in attendance.
"We're giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor you get outside the Congressional Medal of Honor — one's military, one's civilian," he said. "But it's the greatest honor, and Erika, his beautiful wife, is going to be here and a lot of people are going to be here." (Fox News) Read more here.

- Lord God, in all these years of wrting these prayer requests, we have never seen so much historic news, packed into three short days, as we are seeing now. We REJOICE at the release of the hostages; the fact that our President will be there to greet them; the fact that he will be greeted and welcomed by all the members of the Knesset; that he will also be given a warm reception by more than 20 world leaders in Cairo to celebrate the signing of this peace agreement; and finally to rush home by Tuesday evening to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to Charlie Kirk on his 32nd birthday.
Praise You, O Lord! The heavens have now opened, pouring out blessing after blessing after blessing upon our nation, and upon many others.
We close this prayer of celebration by asking for a double measure of protection for President Trump and upon those who will be traveling with him throughout this entire journey. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen!
" ... in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (I Thessalonians 5:18)

US sends CENTCOM troops to Israel for Trump-brokered Hamas ceasefire monitoring
|
|
|
Service members to establish civil military command center
|
|
U.S. service members will arrive in Israel by Sunday to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire with Hamas, Fox News has learned.
The U.S. troops, all of whom come from the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), will set up the civil military command center as the ceasefire unfolds, a senior U.S. official said.
Some of the service members are coming from the U.S., and some were already in the region. Most are with the Army.
They are experts in logistics, security, engineering and transportation.
None of the troops will be going into Gaza.
Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, attended talks in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, a former White House advisor and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, a U.S. official confirmed.
Cooper then flew to Israel and is in the country.
The Israeli government approved and signed the first phase of the Trump-brokered ceasefire deal in Gaza overnight Thursday, kicking off a 24-hour countdown clock during which time troops had to withdraw to a predetermined position. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we thank You that our own troops are being deployed into Israel to assist in the smooth, orderly and peaceful release of the hostages. We ask that their presence would enforce peace in this region and order in this critical transition phase. Thank You, O Lord, amen and amen.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday his administration has found a way to pay troops during the federal government shutdown and that he has ordered Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth to do so.
"I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th," the president said in a post on the Truth Social media site.
"We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS," Trump said. (Reuters) Read more here. |

Explosion kills all 16 people inside Tennessee explosives plant, sheriff says
|
|
|
There are no survivors of the blast that rocked a Tennessee explosives plant, authorities said on Oct. 11 as investigators work to determine the cause.
All 16 people inside the building that exploded at Accurate Energetic Systems are dead, Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said at an Oct. 11 press conference. Residents from miles away could hear the blast on Oct. 10 at the facility in Hickman County, Tennessee, about 60 miles west of Nashville.
“I can tell you at this time, we have notified all 16 families of those people that we feel (were) involved in this situation, this tragedy,” Davis said during an emotional evening press briefing outside the Accurate Energetic Systems facility gates.
The facility processes high-grade explosives for demolition, military and other uses, according to its website.
Authorities previously said 18 people were missing in the explosion. Earlier on Oct. 10, officials said 19 were unaccounted for but later said they located one person at home who had been believed to be among the missing.
The difference in number, Davis explained, was because a vehicle and personal items were found on the scene and they were unable to locate the owners, at first. Initially, the presence of those items made officials think there more people who died, but "they were not in the destroyed building," the sheriff said. (USA Today) Read more here.

“Tomorrow, children will return to their own land,” Netanyahu said. “This is a historic event that blends sorrow over the release of murderers and joy over the return of hostages.”
The prime minister said the achievement reflected the steadfast belief of Israel’s soldiers and citizens. “Some did not believe this day would come. But our fighters believed. Many among the people believed. And I believed,” he declared. (Read more)

2. IDF Chief: Israel has defeated Hamas after two years of war - Israel National News
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announced on Sunday that the IDF has achieved victory over Hamas following two years of sustained military and diplomatic pressure. In a national address, Zamir declared that Israel had entered an existential war and emerged victorious, ensuring the country's survival and security.
"From that fracture, the generation of victory has risen, which turned the day of inferno into a turning point. We entered an existential war to ensure that Israel remained standing and we defeated the enemy," he said. "The military pressure we applied over the past two years, together with the complementary diplomatic measures, constitute a victory over Hamas. We will continue to act in order to shape a security reality that ensures the Gaza Strip no longer poses a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians."
Zamir announced the launch of Operation “Returning Home,” aimed at returning Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity. Addressing bereaved families, IDF personnel, soldiers, and citizens, he said, "In a few hours we will all be reunited - one people, embraced and united. We will rejoice at the sight of our living hostages returning to their families and we will mourn the return of those who were murdered, among them our heroic soldiers who fell in battle."

3. IDF expects hostages to be released from 3 sites — in Gaza City, central Gaza, and Khan Younis - Times of Israel
The Israeli military says it does not know when in the coming day Hamas will free the 20 living hostages it is holding, but expects the release to take place sometime in the morning hours tomorrow, possibly 8 a.m.
The IDF says it has been ready since yesterday to receive the hostages, and will remain on alert all night, in case Hamas decides to free the captives overnight.
The IDF says it is also preparing for possible Hamas “provocations” overnight, including the possibility that the terror group will call the families of the hostages to let them speak to their loved ones for the first time in over two years. (Read more)

4. Hamas official: Israel altered prisoner lists, warns Netanyahu will renew war
- Jerusalem Post
Senior Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad, speaking to Al Jazeera from Cairo on Sunday night, accused Israel of “playing with and changing” the lists of Palestinian prisoners slated for release under the emerging ceasefire-for-hostages deal, and warned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would “return to aggression” in Gaza without sustained international pressure.
He urged Arab states and mediators to “restrain the Zionist madness” and ensure full implementation of the agreement.
Hamad said Hamas was coordinating with Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, and in contact with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to carry out the exchange “as stated in the agreement,” but alleged that Israeli delays in verifying names on documents sent to the parties were creating obstacles.

5. Saudi warning: 'Qatar will bring Hamas back' - Israel Hayom
Over the past month, several key moderate Gulf states—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain—have found themselves sidelined. While they support Trump's initiative to end the war, they are unhappy with the major concessions made to Qatar, still their regional rival and a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement that undermines Arab regimes. They are also uneasy about Washington's expanding defense agreements with Doha.
These states are expected to take part in Gaza's reconstruction, largely aligning with Israel's position. They back the full disarmament of Hamas and insist that the Palestinian Authority only return to Gaza after sweeping reforms and a process of deradicalization. They are already engaged in educational reforms, including religion studies, and promoting a shift in media discourse toward Israel and Jews. However, they are also demanding that Israel advance a political process toward a two-state solution.
A Saudi diplomatic source told Israel Hayom that normalization with Israel remains on the table, but "it will not happen within months. It's a long road that requires seeing the agreement implemented in full, including Israel's commitments to the Palestinian Authority and serious negotiations toward a two-state solution. We will make sure the Palestinian Authority fulfills its obligations, but Israel, regardless of its coalition, must honor what Netanyahu agreed to." (Read more)

1. Trump Admin Begins Wide Spread Layoffs In Response To Government Shutdown- Daily Caller
Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought announced Friday that the administration has begun mass layoffs as the government shutdown continues another day.
Vought issued a memo ahead of the government shutdown to federal agencies on Sept. 24 telling them to prepare for large-scale layoffs and cuts to program via Reduction-in-Force (RIF) measures. Vought posted Friday on X that the layoffs had started.
“The RIFs have begun,” Vought wrote.
The government officially shut down on Oct. 1 after Senate Democrats voted against a clean continuing resolution and demanded increased funding for Medicaid, including Affordable Care Act subsidies and reimbursements on for spending from states on illegal immigrants. (Read more)

2. New York State Attorney General Indicted - US Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Virginia - Justice.gov
Lindsey Halligan, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, announced today that a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging New York State Attorney General Letitia James with Bank Fraud under 18 U.S.C. Section 1344 and False Statements to a Financial Institution under 18 U.S.C. Section 1014.
“No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust,” said U.S. Attorney Halligan. “The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served.”
If convicted, Letitia James faces penalties including up to 30 years in prison per count, up to a $1 million fine on each count, and forfeiture. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

3. First lady Melania Trump announces 8 Ukrainian children reunited with families after being taken into Russia - Fox News
First lady Melania Trump announced on Friday that eight Ukrainian children displaced during the country's ongoing war with Russia had been reunited with their families.
"Each child has lived in turmoil because of the war in Ukraine. Three were separated from their parents and displaced to the Russian Federation because of frontline fighting. The other five were separated from family members across borders because of the conflict, including one young girl who has now been reunited from Ukraine to Russia," Melania Trump said.
The first lady added that some minors who were displaced during the war have since reached adulthood and are residing in Russia, but their safe return home requires "coordinated assistance."
"My ongoing mission is twofold: to prioritize and optimize a transparent, free flow of health-related information surrounding all children who have [fallen] victim to this war, and to facilitate the reunification of children with their families until each individual returns home," Trump said.
The first lady stressed that this is part of an ongoing process and that plans are already underway to reunify more children with their families. (Read more)

4. Iran strengthens nuclear ties with Russia as leaked files suggest fighter jet deal amid UN sanctions – World Israel News
Facing renewed United Nations sanctions and stalled talks with European powers, Iran is turning to Russia to expand nuclear cooperation and bolster its defense capabilities.
On Wednesday, Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), met with Nikolai Spassky, deputy CEO at Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom, to discuss strengthening bilateral cooperation in “peaceful nuclear energy.”
According to Iranian media, Spassky traveled to Tehran to discuss the implementation of two recently signed nuclear agreements with Russia and to explore further opportunities for cooperation in Iran’s nuclear program.
Last month, Iranian and Russian officials signed two major agreements: one to build small modular reactors (SMRs) across Iran, and another to launch a $25 billion project for four large nuclear power units in southern Hormozgan province — marking a significant milestone in their nuclear cooperation.
Eslami described their recent talks as “extensive,” noting that they also addressed other potential areas of collaboration. (Read more)

5. Why Drones Are Center of Potential US–China Warfare- The Epoch Times
On today’s battlefields, inexpensive flying robots are capable of locating, jamming, and eliminating targets faster than any human can react. China is determined to flood the skies with them.
In response, the United States is working on building its own swarms, refining smarter software, and tightening curbs on Chinese technology, while Ukraine’s front lines serve as a testing ground for evaluating effective and ineffective technologies.
The contest is not about a single “best drone,” an analyst told The Epoch Times. Instead, it’s a race between China’s ability to mobilize a huge civilian drone industry for war and America’s effort to turn clever prototypes into mass production, then bind them together with software and allied networks.
To prevail, the analyst said, Washington must move faster on approvals and testing, buy in large quantities, and adopt strategies proven effective on Ukraine’s battlefield on a larger scale, such as embracing open systems, facilitating quick upgrades, and shipping technology in the thousands. Any future clash, especially over Taiwan, will be decided by scale, speed, and the lessons that endure from Ukraine, according to the analyst. (Read more)

Trump Says China Becoming Very Hostile, No Reason to Meet With Xi
|
|
|
|
President Donald Trump on Friday signaled that he would call off his planned meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Both leaders were expected to meet during Trump’s visit to South Korea during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit later this month.
“I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so,” Trump said on Truth Social.
He accused Beijing of taking a hostile and unprecedented step by sending letters to countries around the world announcing new export controls on rare earth elements and other key materials. He vowed to respond with countermeasures, including substantial tariff increases and additional actions.
“Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China,” Trump wrote.
Trump said Beijing’s move would clog the global markets and create serious challenges for nearly every country, including China. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

Pentagon agrees to host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots at Idaho air base

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the Pentagon has agreed to host a new Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in Idaho, saying that the nation has played a "core part" in securing the Gaza peace deal.
Hegseth made the announcement during an enhanced honor cordon arrival ceremony at the Pentagon for Qatar’s Minister of Defense Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
"Today, we’re announcing a letter of acceptance in building a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho," Hegseth said.
The new base will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots, enabling joint training operations with U.S. forces. The location will "enhance our combined training, increase lethality, interoperability," Hegseth said. (Fox News) Read more

- Father, there are conflicting stories on this situation – some say it’s just “training” foreign pilots, which is normal, yet this article says “building” a Qatari facility. Building and training are two very different things: our country trains many pilots, but building a special facility is different. We ask for real clarity for this situation, and we bind any plans to build a special facility for Qatar. We ask that You protect our national security in this matter.

Venezuelan Freedom Fighter María Corina Machado Dedicates Nobel Prize to Donald Trump
|
|
|
María Corina Machado, the 2025 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated her recognition on Friday to her Venezuelan people and to President Donald Trump, stating that Venezuelans need his support “more than ever.”
The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced its prize recipient on Friday morning Oslo time, awarding Machado for decades of advocacy against socialism in her native Venezuela. While the left-leaning Committee did not mention socialism at all in its announcement of the award, failing to recognize who is repressing the former Venezuelan National Assembly member, it did congratulate Machado for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
In her first statement following the announcement, Machado declared that the Venezuelan opposition – now largely cleansed of the socialist elements that undermined her leadership for decades – was “on the threshold of victory.” She noted that this situation was, in part, due to President Trump’s longstanding support for the opposition and his actions to strip the illegitimate narco-dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro of its revenue funds and access to aid from its rogue allies, such as China and Iran.
“We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world,” she wrote, “as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.” (Breitbart) Read more here.

|
- Lord, we are all disappointed that President Trump did not win this award, but we are grateful that Maria Machado gave credit to Donald Trump. We understand that he is still eligible for next year’s Nobel Prize, and we hope that the left-wing Nobel committee will take into consideration our President’s hard work.
- “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Johnson raises stakes on Schumer as government shutdown barrels into week 3
|
|
|
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., declared the House of Representatives out of session for a third straight week in a bid to keep pressure on Senate Democrats in Washington.
The speaker appears to be raising the stakes on lawmakers across the aisle, who keep refusing the GOP's plan to fund government agencies on a short-term basis in favor of making demands on healthcare that Republicans are calling unreasonable.
The government shutdown is poised to roll into a third week after Senate Democrats sunk the GOP's federal funding bill seven times, most recently on Thursday.
The House passed the bill on Sept. 19 and has not been in session since. The measure, called a continuing resolution (CR), is aimed at keeping the government funded at current levels through Nov. 21, in order for congressional negotiators to have more time to strike a longer-term deal for fiscal year (FY) 2026.

US East Coast tropical wind and rainstorm to bring top-5 storm surge, major travel disruptions
|
|
|
An already damaging and disruptive tropical wind and rainstorm will continue to rage along a large portion of the United States Atlantic Coast with high winds, flooding rain and major coastal flooding.
Flooding from both heavy rain and wind-driven storm surge will extend from eastern North Carolina to southern New England into Monday night as a sprawling tropical wind and rainstorm crawls northward before turning out to sea, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
On Sunday, the tropical wind and rainstorm's structure is spread out in an arc for nearly 1,000 miles from the Carolina coast to southern New England and then eastward to north of Bermuda over the central Atlantic.
Because of this vast expanse, rather than a compact, intense storm, some of the impacts may fall short of the worst-case scenario. However, impacts related to rain, wind, coastal flooding and erosive surf will be significant to severe for many beach communities from the Carolinas to southern New England.
Most-damaging aspect: Storm surge
"A top concern we have is from coastal flooding and storm surge, which will be the most extreme at times of high tide through Monday," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said. "There will be major flooding at multiple high tide cycles and in many cases, low tide will be well above the routine high tide. The worst conditions in most cases will span Sunday to Monday."
A State of Emergency is in effect for New Jersey into Monday. (Accuweather) Read More

"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."
