From Historic US Revival Site to Jerusalem, 
Christians Rally for Communion 250: 
'Mighty Move of God' 
Christians around the world gathered in 156 locations to take communion at college campuses, state capitols, public parks, and open fields where they worshipped, prayed, and evangelized for up to 50 hours. Fifty people gave their lives to Jesus Christ in Florida following prayer and worship on the opening night of Come To The Table, a global remembrance of the Lord's last supper, at an Orlando venue, according to a ministry leader. 
 
A ministry of Awaken The Dawn, the three-day celebration held from Sept. 24-26 focused on communion tables from Jerusalem, Israel to Puerto Rico, to the Middle East and a Kentucky field, uniting believers from different nations and languages around the remembrance of Jesus Christ's shed blood and broken body for salvation and healing.
 
Communion 250, a companion observance honoring Jesus' sacrifice and the United States' semiquincentennial birthday, drew Christians to an open valley near the site of a historic spiritual revival that originated in Kentucky 225 years ago. The Cane Ridge Revival ignited in 1801 near the Renfro Valley, an area of Kentucky also known for music, where Christians appealed to heaven in song and prayer for three days before taking communion.   
 
They gathered around a table sitting atop an 80-foot spray-painted red cross on Kentucky grass to share a memorial meal of bread and wine – emblems of Christ's body and blood.  "We're believing God for a mighty move of God all over the nation, and we're just excited about communion right here in the beautiful Renfro Valley," said ministry leader Rick Curry, who, along with others, believes revival and communion are related.

Father God we REJOICE over this past weekend 'Come to the Table' partaking of bread and wine, at 156 different locations around the world!  We lift praise for Christians experiencing powerful worship, fellowship and holy remembrance of Christ's shed blood and victory.  We thank you for our brothers and sisters at Cane Ridge, a place of revival in 1801, as they gathered for 'Communion 250' to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday and 'New Life' in Christ. In the Name of Jesus, we declare a mighty move of Your Spirit will once again fall upon our great nation. May believers remain unified through our love for Jesus and one another; bringing honor to God through repentance and intercession for Holy Spirit REVIVAL around the world! By the powerful Blood of the Lamb we pray- Amen.

America’s Mayor Tells Lara Logan He Knew by Nightfall on January 6 That It Was a “Fixed Operation” — And He Names the Man He Says Owns the Darkest Hours in American History

America’s Mayor just said the quiet part out loud.

Former New York City Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani dropped a series of explosive allegations Saturday night during the American Martyrs premiere in West Palm Beach, Florida, telling moderator Lara Logan that by the time he went to bed on January 6, 2021, he believed he knew exactly what had happened.

Logan pressed him on the security failures that left the Capitol wide open, the same failures The Gateway Pundit has documented for years while the corporate press screamed “insurrection” and ignored the stand-down.

She told Giuliani she called his former NYPD police commissioner, Bernard Kerik — the 9/11-era commissioner who later worked the 2020 election files with Giuliani — and asked him a simple law-enforcement question, stripped of politics:

If you wanted to secure the Capitol that day, what would you have done?

Kerik’s answer, Logan said, was immediate: put mounted officers around the building. Circle the Capitol on horseback. One mounted officer, Kerik told her, is worth about three men on the ground.  (The Gateway Pundit) Read more

Mighty King, thank You for watching over Rudy Giuliani through these days of darkness and trial upon him and our nation and we bless him.  There has been such unrighteousness that has come to so many people in our nation and we ask You to continue releasing healing and forgiveness into their lives and families, in Jesus's name. We also continue to call for justice and Godly revelation of the wicked deeds perpetrated that have had such a chilling effect on our Constitutional freedoms, and we bind the spirit of fear and danger, in Jesus's name. 

"The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them." (Proverbs 11:3)

BREAKING: Jack Smith COLLECTED Nearly 5,000 PERSONAL Checks From Americans Who Donated to Trump – SEIZED Records of Communication Between DOZENS of Journalists and Trump Officials

Absolutely damning corruption by former Special Counsel Jack Smith has been revealed as he testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.

Fox News has exclusively revealed that Smith and his thugs acquired dozens of records containing sensitive communications between dozens of journalists and Trump Administration officials.

Among the outlets swept up in this crooked move by Smith are Fox News, The Federalist, The Washington Times, CNN, and CBS.

But that’s not all. The Senate Judiciary Republicans have just revealed that Smith and his team collected nearly 5,000 personal checks from Americans who donated to President Trump and Trump-aligned groups.

The dates were between September 2019 and August 2023.

This allowed the Biden Department of Injustice and the FBI to gain access to nearly 5,000 Americans’ highly sensitive information from all 50 states. There also might be additional subpoena returns that include even more donor checks.

A furious Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) laid into Smith as he spoke about the revelations:

There’s no legitimate basis for what you did. Especially since your staff killed an investigation into the Clinton campaign. (The Gateway Pundit) Read more

Father, we call for complete justice to be released against every single law, rule or regulation that has been broken, disregarded or flaunted by the Jack Smith legal crew, in the mighty name of Jesus. This all-too-common display of disrespect for our legal system by the justice system must come to a stop in this nation, in Jesus's name. We praise You Abba, because the foundation of Your throne is righteousness and justice and we cry out for these attributes to be flowing in our nation more and more, for Your glory.

"People shall be brought down Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness." (Isaiah 5:15-16)

IT’S OFFICIAL: Hegseth Orders U.S. Cyber Command and Pentagon Intelligence Apparatus to Mobilize Against Foreign Threats Targeting 2026 Elections

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is not playing games with America’s midterms.

A Sept. 22 memorandum directs U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the rest of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to prioritize Department of War intelligence and cyber power against foreign actors trying to meddle in the 2026 elections.

The subject line is blunt: “Countering Foreign Threats to 2026 Elections.”

Hegseth writes that as the country approaches this election cycle, “we must prove that we can and will protect the integrity of our democratic processes from any threat.” (The Gateway Pundit) Read more

Glory to God for the determination of this administration to secure and stabilize the integrity of our elections. We know there are many devious ways of using technology within and beyond the election machines and social media to corrupt our elections, so we pray for wisdom and protection over every strategy being employed to guard against such threats, in Jesus' name. 

"I have done justice and righteousness, Do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; Do not let the proud oppress me."

Rubio Says UK Airbase Incident Involved
Foreign State

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the "hands of a foreign actor" were involved in an incident in which five men were arrested on suspected explosives and terrorism offenses near a British airbase used by U.S. forces to strike Iran.

British police declared a major incident at the RAF Fairford base in western England following the arrests early on Sunday, and the government held a national emergency meeting.

However the police released the five on bail on Monday, but said the investigation was not over and they were examining whether individuals acting for a foreign state were involved.

"What happened, what almost happened, what could have happened ⁠in the UK over the weekend is a very serious situation. It's one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor. I won't get into great detail about that yet," Rubio told the Fox News network's "Hannity" program late Monday.

President Donald Trump told ‌reporters at the White House on Monday that the incident "might be" connected to Iran, with which the United States is at war since late ‌February, and that he would not have released the suspects on bail. (Newsmax) Read more

Mighty King, this matter is very troubling and also worthy of rejoicing because of faithful people who stood to act and defend their community, so we bless them. However, we pray for the authorities who have released these likely dangerous people back onto the streets of England. We pray that they do not succeed in their wicked plans, but are obstructed, in Jesus' name. Holy King, we ask for Your divine strategies to gain victory over the darkness that threatens the peaceful lives of so many people. May the presence of God grow and more souls hear the good news of salvation, in Jesus' name.  

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:10-12)

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. “False blood libels": Netanyahu launches legal battle against media
- Israel National News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu filed a NIS 2.6 million defamation lawsuit with the Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday against Haaretz, Yedioth Ahronoth, Ynet, Channel 12 News, and a number of journalists over reports claiming that he received warnings from officials in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt before the October 7 massacre and failed to pass them on to the heads of Israel’s security establishment.

In addition to the media organizations, the lawsuit names journalists Shlomi Eldar, Ruti Yuval, Uri Misgav, Nadav Eyal, Barak Ravid, and Attila Somfalvi as defendants.

In the statement of claim, filed through attorney Uriel Nizri, Netanyahu describes the reports as “two blood libels" and argues that the conversations attributed to him never took place. (Read more)

2. 'Don't mess with us': Netanyahu issues ominous pre-election warning from IAF base - Israel Hayom

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an unusual warning during a Tuesday visit to Tel Nof Israeli Air Force base, declaring that there were indications that "our enemies will try to attack us" ahead of the Knesset elections scheduled for Oct. 26. Moments after releasing the ominous video, the premier was spotted surrounded by a heavy security detail at a commercial center in Ashdod.

Standing alongside military personnel and against the backdrop of a fighter jet, he continued, "I am here at the air force base with our heroic pilots and wonderful ground crews. We are operating constantly in all sectors. On Sunday we eliminated the despicable terrorist who kidnapped Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or. We brought them back home; we eliminated him. Overnight we eliminated the Hamas Northern Gaza Strip Brigade commander. He joined his predecessors, whom we also eliminated."

Netanyahu highlighted recent military successes – stressing the ongoing campaign across multiple fronts – before pivoting to the diplomatic pressures facing Israel. "In total over the past few weeks we eliminated over 100 terrorists, and that is just in Gaza," he said. "Of course we are also operating in Lebanon, you remember what we did to the Ali Taher ridge (a strategic area in southern Lebanon). There are tremendous achievements, but there are also tremendous pressures, and the pressures are to retreat, to give up the great achievements secured through the bravery of our fighters. I am not letting that happen, and I will not let that happen." (Read more)

3. Israeli leaders condemn Samaria riot after 100 demonstrators clash with security personnel - World Israel News

More than 100 Israeli civilians rioted on a disputed hill outside the Palestinian Authority-administered town of Jalud in Samaria overnight between Monday and Tuesday, setting fire to property and throwing rocks at Israeli security forces.

The IDF and Border Police had deployed to the hill to facilitate the return of the Al-Tubasi family, whose members left their homes in July.

Earlier this month, the High Court of Justice ordered security forces to enable the residents to return. (Read more)

4. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and a powerful ex-Fatah official form an unlikely electoral alliance - YNET News

Hamas and the allied Palestinian Islamic Jihad group have agreed to form an unlikely electoral coalition with a former top Fatah official who has close ties to the United Arab Emirates, Israel's closest ally in the Middle East, Palestinian officials told The Associated Press.

The alliance could be well positioned to threaten the dominance of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party over the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority — but only if the first national elections in 20 years actually happen, which is very much in doubt.

Abbas has said parliamentary elections will be held Nov. 28 in Gaza and the West Bank. But he has repeatedly delayed elections, most recently in 2021, when Fatah appeared headed for defeat. When Hamas won the last elections, in 2006, Israel and Western countries boycotted its government, fueling months of unrest that led to its takeover of Gaza the following year. (Read more)

5. Bennett: IDF will collapse without haredi enlistment, Netanyahu is dismantling military - Jerusalem Post

Former prime minister Naftali Bennettwarned on Tuesday that the IDF would collapse due to a lack of manpower if haredim (ultra-Orthodox) are not drafted during the next government’s term, following the October elections.

“[Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu warns of security threats, but he himself is leading the most serious threat of all: mass draft evasion and the collapse of the IDF,” Bennett said.

He made the remarks at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, where families of October 7 victims built a sukkah for the holiday called the “Sukkah of Failure.” (Read more)

The Daily Brief
1. Manufacturing Hiring Picks Up, Openings Remain Strong, Quits Rise - Breitbart

Manufacturers hired more workers in August and job openings remained near the highest level in over two years. The quits rate for manufacturing workers, a signal of confidence, rose to the highest in nearly two years.

Manufacturers were looking to fill 522,000 jobs at the end of August, down from 576,000 in July, the government said Tuesday in its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Despite the decline, openings in the factory sector are at their highest level since May of 2024.

Hires rose to 332,000 from July’s 293,000, nearly matching the 333,000 from June. Those are the highest levels of hiring since September 2024.

The quits rate—which measures the share of employees in a sector who voluntarily leave their jobs — rose two-tenths of a point to 1.6 percent. This is the highest since October 2024. A rising quits rate is considered a sign of a strengthening labor market. Read more 

Thank You Father for this good report. We pray for even more good reports to be released through trustworthy media platforms, in Jesus's name. We pray for the strength of capitalism to be victorious over the stranglehold areas that the fake news repeats as often as possible. We pray for eyes to see and ears to hear what is righteous, noble and good about our Constitutional Republic so that the distinctions against communism become very apparent, in Jesus's name.

"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." (1 Peter 4:10)

2. Supreme Court Takes Up Case Challenging Laws That Treat ‘Non-Affirming Parents’ as Child Abusers - Daily Signal

Can Washington state remove parental rights to enable runaway kids to access experimental transgender medical “treatments” without their parents’ knowledge or consent? The Supreme Court announced Monday that it would take up a case on this pivotal issue.

In the case, a group of parents represented by International Partners for Ethical Care is challenging the administration of Gov. Bob Ferguson, D-Wash., as it seeks to implement laws that treat parents who refuse to “affirm” their children’s stated gender identity as akin to child abusers.

Whenever a youth shelter receives a runaway child, state law requires the shelter to contact the parents within 72 hours, giving parents the location of their child, a description of their child’s physical and emotional condition, and why the child contacted the shelter. Washington law includes one exception: “compelling reasons” not to notify the parent, such as cases of “abuse or neglect.”

Yet in 2023, Washington’s Legislature passed two laws expanding those “compelling reasons” to include access to “gender-affirming care,” a euphemistic term for experimental medical interventions to make men appear female or vice versa. Advocates of these “treatments” say people who suffer from gender dysphoria (the painful and persistent condition of identifying with a gender opposite to your biological sex) will commit suicide without them. Yet the Department of Health and Human Services released a peer-reviewed report finding that there is “extremely weak evidence” for any concrete benefits and a great deal of evidence for harm from these interventions. Read more

Holy King, we pray for the Supreme Court to hear with Your ears and understand with Your wisdom, so they make a decision for parents to have all authority to love and raise their children with a moral standard, even if it opposes cultural expectations. We pray that this horrific experience for families does not continue and that children in truly abusive homes would be protected, in the name of Jesus. Mighty God, we pray against this wicked attack against children and families, in Jesus's name and we call for the presence of God to be welcomed into homes to bring in the peace that passes understanding. Father, may the victory in this case be the doom of the transgender agenda, in Jesus' mighty name.

"We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;" (Psalm 78:4-5)

3. Attorney Who Sued Hospitals in 40 States Over Ivermectin Tells Ron Johnson: 69 of 72 Patients Who Received Ivermectin Survived When Courts Forced Treatment — All 140 Patients Denied the Drug Died - The Gateway Pundit

Attorney Ralph Lorigo delivered striking testimony Monday during Sen. Ron Johnson’s roundtable examining COVID-era hospital protocols, telling the Wisconsin Republican that he represented 212 families across 40 states who went to court seeking alternative treatment for critically ill COVID patients.

Johnson convened the September 28 roundtable, titled “COVID-19 Hospital Protocols: Real Stories from Real People,” to hear testimony from patients, family members, doctors, nurses and others about their experiences inside hospitals during the pandemic. According to Sen. Johnson’s office, the event was the first in Johnson’s series of COVID-related hearings and roundtables devoted entirely to hospital protocols.

Lorigo told the panel that of the 212 families he represented, there were 72 cases in which he prevailed and ivermectin was ultimately administered.

According to Lorigo, only three of those 72 patients died.

“Tragically, of the 140 cases where I couldn’t get into court quick enough or I lost, every single person died,” Lorigo testified. Read more

Loving Father, this testimony of our very recent past is both heartbreaking and gut-wrenching. Many people in this nation and even the world knew that others were ripping our God-given rights right out of our control, yet we couldn't stop it and save lives. Holy King, we forgive those who caused the deadly harms against our loved ones and we pray for divine justice and wisdom over this evil time so that it never happens again, in Jesus's name. 

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." (2 Peter 2:1-3 ESV)

4. 'Staggering surrender': CDC pushes COVID vaccines for healthy people 'off-label,' infuriating MAHA - Just The News

The second Trump administration increasingly resembles the Biden administration on two issues that played a major role in President Donald Trump's 2024 victory, raising the question of how many foot soldiers Republicans can turn out in November midterms.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blew past its sibling Food and Drug Administration's targeted approvals of updated COVID-19 vaccines for elderly and high-risk Americans, quietly issuing recommendations last week that all healthy adults and children starting at 6 months old take the non-sterilizing mRNA products off-label.

The expansion is even more surprising because the FDA approved Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines without direct human evidence for the efficacy of the new formulations compared to a placebo, putting tens of millions of Americans who still get COVID vaccines for themselves or their children at risk of becoming guinea pigs. 
Read more 

Holy King, we pray for righteousness and integrity to fill our government agencies, particularly where it directly affects we, the people, in Jesus's name. It seems that there is so much money flowing in every direction that we can hardly know what to trust. Holy One, we ask You to interrupt and remove those whose work is not trustworthy and does not honor the health and well-being of American citizens. We pray for reliable research evidence to be the source for medical and health decisions, without concealing agendas for money, power or control, in Jesus's name. 

"Come and hear, all you who fear God. And I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!" (Psalm 66:16-20)

5. How Socialist Democrats Use The Soros Strategy To Fill Local Courts With Woke Judges - The Federalist

While Democrats talk about packing the Supreme Court, George Soros is moving from electing crime-friendly district attorneys to pro-crime judges at lower levels who will move up into increasingly prominent positions over their lifetimes.

It’s a significant pivot in the well-established “Soros strategy,” which floods relatively low-cost and bottom-of-the-ballot races with advertising to seat leftist district attorneys. In a new report, the Center for American Institutions documents how the flow of dark money into DA races and state supreme court campaigns has chipped away at trust in judicial institutions. While the funding comes from both sides of the aisle, “nothing in the Republican stable matches the Democratic Party’s network of interlocking nonprofits,” and the Soros-run groups “are the biggest and most complete political/financial complexes,” the report notes.

Recent events demonstrate how effectively the Soros strategy can be deployed in state judge races by adding campaign workers to money. The Democratic Socialists of America have already backed candidates, usually their own members, in district attorney races, notably in Austin, Texas, and Queens County, New York. But as influential as DAs are in deciding which cases to bring, why not elect the judges who decide cases? Read more

God of Justice, we pray for this wicked agenda against our nation to be undermined, overthrown and vomited out, in the name of Jesus. It has been very evident for far too long that there is a sweeping group of judges and district attorneys hostile to the rule of law and justice acting with impunity against our cities, states and federal government and it is high time for them to be expelled, in Jesus's name. We bind these funders of injustice and we pray for their illicit gain to be removed from them and halted in its tracks, in the name of Jesus. We loose Constitutional and Godly people to replace every one and to uphold the law to keep our nation secure, in Jesus' name.

"'Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He. They have corrupted themselves; They are not His children, Because of their blemish; A perverse and crooked generation.'" (Deuteronomy 32:4-5)
6. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Pays Illegals $575 to Take Political Activism Class, U.S.-Born Residents Not Allowed - Breitbart

Critics are bashing Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu for funding a program that trains migrants in political activism.

Wu’s funding benefits the city program called Immigrants Lead Boston operated by Wu’s Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement designed to identify and give aid to “emerging leaders” in the migrant community, Fox News reported.

The program is taking heat for explicitly excluding U.S.-born residents from being qualified to win one of the scholarships while using tax dollars for the sole benefit of migrants.

Wu’s administration is paying migrants $575 to enroll in a ten-week civic-engagement and community-organizing course to help migrants grow their political power to replace Americans.

Registration documents tell enrollees that no legal status is required to earn a grant.

“Classes cover organizing, public narrative, city government, immigration history, racism, and equity,” according to the New Bedford Guide. Read more

Holy King, this is shocking to see that our taxpayer dollars are being used to teach non-citizens how to replace and remove American citizens from our government. We pray for this agenda to be used instead to educate all citizens about how to wisely lead and govern a city and state, free from discrimination or communist agendas. We pray for those who are working to break down our nation to be removed from power and position, in Jesus's name. 

"'For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, So the Lord alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him.'" (Deuteronomy 32:9-12)

The Real AI Threat May Be Human

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, September 29, 2026

Warnings that artificial intelligence could someday wipe out humanity make frightening headlines. Some prominent AI scientists believe increasingly powerful systems could eventually exceed human intelligence, operate autonomously and escape human control. Yet there is a more immediate danger staring us in the face: human beings may give AI too much authority before understanding how to control it. The United States and China are racing for AI superiority because the technology promises enormous economic, scientific and military advantages. The danger arises when winning the race becomes more important than installing the safeguards. The human factor could provide the ingredients for catastrophe.

Consider nuclear weapons. AI can process satellite imagery, radar information, intelligence reports and enormous quantities of battlefield data far faster than humans. US Strategic Command commander Gen. Anthony Cotton says AI will help process information within America’s nuclear command, control and communications system, but insists humans will remain in control. That distinction is critical. Imagine an AI warning system incorrectly determining that enemy missiles have been launched. Another nation’s AI detects the resulting military response and concludes an attack against it is imminent. Each system reacts to the other, escalating the situation within seconds. The danger isn’t necessarily AI deciding to start World War III. It is humans constructing systems that move faster than human judgment can intervene. Read More

Watch: Shark Seen Swimming Through the Streets of New Jersey as Nor'Easter Brings Chaos

A shark was filmed swimming through flooded streets in Surf City, New Jersey, over the weekend as a nor’easter pushed bay water into Long Beach Island neighborhoods.

A resident recorded the shark Saturday near a home, with its dorsal fin breaking the surface beside a driveway. ABC News obtained the clip. In the video a woman asks, “Is that a little shark?” then says, “Oh my God, he’s coming this way.”

The New York Post reported that the shark moved up toward the resident’s home as Barnegat Bay spilled over into Surf City. The borough saw as much as four feet of water.

Dr. Greg Skomal, a white shark researcher with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, told outlets the animal appeared to be a dogfish, a small shark common to the region and not known for attacking people.

Dogfish lack the cutting teeth associated with larger coastal species. Officials still warned residents to stay out of floodwater because of debris, sewage, and current, not because of this particular fish
.
The sighting came as the storm battered the East Coast with heavy rain and winds reported as high as 70 mph. Thousands of locals lost power. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill declared a state of emergency in eight counties before and during the weekend surge. (The Western Journal) Read More
