Trump: 'We're Not Starting a New Party'
Putting to rest talk of a third party to break off from the GOP, former President Donald Trump said there will be only the Republican Party united, all the way.
"I want you to know that I'm going to continue to fight right by your side," Trump said Sunday as the headliner at the American Conservative Union Conference on Sunday in Orlando, Florida. "We will do what we've done right from the beginning, which is to win.
"We're not starting new parties. You know, they kept saying, 'he's going to start a brand new party.' We have the Republican party. It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. I am not starting a new party. That was fake news. Fake news."
Trump vowed at CPAC the party will fight to defeat "radical Democrats" in future elections.
"Brave Republicans in this room will be at the heart of the effort to oppose the radical Democrats, the fake news media, and their toxic cancel culture: Something new to our ears – cancel culture," Trump said early in his speech.

"No, that would be brilliant: Let's start a new party; let's divide our vote so that you could never win. No we're not interested in that."
His remarks ratified the consensus of the conference that this is not a conservative movement wallowing in its loss to Democrat Joe Biden as much as it’s a government-in-waiting, counting down the three years and 11 months for Trump to “Make America Great Again” again.
Trump’s rousing reception at the most important conservative gathering on the calendar highlights just how much Trump has transformed the movement in just five years.

Focus on Israel
1. Israel Said to Hit Iranian Targets in Syria After Tehran Blamed for Ship Blast - Times of Israel
Syrian state media reported Sunday that air defense systems were activated around Damascus due to an Israeli attack. A report carried on the official SANA news agency claimed the Syrian military intercepted several Israeli missiles.
There was no comment on the reported strikes from the Israel Defense Forces, which rarely acknowledges specific attacks.
Israel’s Kan News, Channel 13 News and Ma’ariv newspaper all described the strikes as targeting Iranian sites, and characterized them as a response to a blast last week that hit an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman, which Israeli officials have said was likely carried out by Iran.
None of the outlets provided sourcing for their reports. (Read more)
2. Israeli Defense Minister Reportedly Held Secret Meeting With Jordanian King - Algemeiner
i24 News – Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz secretly met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II for security talks in Jordanian territory, Hebrew media outlet Yediot Anronot reported on Sunday.
The two reportedly held a meeting in Amman, the Jordanian capital, but Yediot did not provide a specific date other than to say that the talks were held in December 2020.
Gantz, who also heads the Blue and White party, hinted at a recent meeting in Jordan in a Zoom call with political activists last week while taking a swipe at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s relationship with the kingdom.
“I think Jordan is a great asset to Israel, and I think that our relationship with Jordan could be 1,000 times better. Unfortunately, Netanyahu is an unwanted figure in Jordan, and his presence harms” relations between the countries, Gantz said.
“I have a continuous and ongoing connection with the Jordanian king and other senior Jordanian officials, and I know we can have great achievements,” he said. (Read more)
3. Israeli faces treason charges for sharing Iron Dome locations with Hamas - Israel Hayom
An Israeli citizen is alleged to have acted as a Hamas agent inside Israel and worked for the terrorist organization's military wing inside the Gaza Strip, the Shin Bet security agency and the Israel Police revealed, Friday.
The citizen, who was arrested on Feb. 3, is 43-year-old Muhammad Abu Adra. Ada's father is a Bedouin and his mother is from the Gaza Strip. Abu Adra is married to a Gaza resident and splits his time between Rafah and the central Israeli city of Rehovot, frequently using the Erez Border Crossing.
A Shin Bet investigation revealed Hamas recruited Abu Adra while he was in Gaza around a year and a half ago. From that time, he remained in covert operational contact with Hamas members, collecting and providing them with information on the location of Iron Dome batteries.
Hamas took advantage of Abu Adra's ability to move between Israel and Gaza due to his family situation and held in-person meetings with Abu Adra when he was inside the coastal enclave. According to the Shin Bet, Abu Adra provided Hamas unique and high-quality access to Israeli territory and carried out missions for the group. (Read more)
4. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla calls Israel 'world's lab' in interview to NBC- Jerusalem Post
"I believe Israel has become the world's lab right now because they are using only our vaccine at this state and they have vaccinated a very big part of their population, so we can study both economy and health indices," said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during an interview given to NBC News on Friday.
"What we've seen is that the vaccine efficacy in real-world data is getting higher as we speak, following the second vaccination, so seven days compared to 14 days post-second vaccination, there is a difference in efficacy," Bourla claimed.
When asked whether one could infect others after receiving two doses of the vaccine, he said: "It is something that needs to be confirmed, and the real-world data that we are getting from Israel and other studies will help us understand this better.
"But there are a lot of indicators right now that are telling us that there is a protection against the transmission of the disease," Bourla added. (Read more)
5. Into the future: Tel Aviv University launches new artificial-intelligence center - JNS
(February 25, 2021 / JNS) Tel Aviv University has launched its new Multidisciplinary Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science on Wednesday during the university’s AI week to encourage research that uses the most advanced methods of both disciples.
The center’s aim is to train a new generation of researchers and industrialists who will take Israel to the forefront of the “global AI revolution” in the coming years.
“[AI] is expected to impact our way of life in every aspect—from drug development and data-based personalized medicine to defense and security systems, financial systems, scientific discoveries, robotics, autonomous systems and social issues,” said Professor Meir Feder, who will head up the center.
“It is very important to train human capital in this area, and therefore, the center will provide all TAU students with basic AI education,” he added. (Read more)

1. Senate Parliamentarian Rules $15 Minimum Wage Cannot Be Included in COVID-19 Stimulus Bill - The Epoch Times
The Senate parliamentarian ruled Thursday that the $15 per hour minimum wage cannot be included in the Democrats’ proposed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package. The controversial proposal in the House bill seeks to gradually raise the federal minimum wage, which has been at $7.25 an hour since 2009, to $15 by 2025.
Elizabeth MacDonough, the chief Senate parliamentarian, has decided that the minimum wage increase cannot be included under the budget reconciliation process, according to multiple reports. Per the Byrd Rule—a procedural step for determining the eligibility of a provision to be included in a reconciliation bill—MacDonough and her team heard arguments from Democrats and Republicans about whether the wage increase aligns with reducing the budget deficit. She decided that the wage increase did not meet the criteria to be included in the bill under the reconciliation process.
The decision by the Senate parliamentarian suggests that any minimum wage increase provisions cannot be passed with a simple Senate majority and would require bipartisan support.
Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C) welcomed the decision on Twitter, writing, “Very pleased the Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that a minimum wage increase is an inappropriate policy change in reconciliation. This decision reinforces reconciliation cannot be used as a vehicle to pass major legislative change—by either party—on a simple majority vote. This decision will, over time, reinforce the traditions of the Senate.” (Read more)
- Father God, we thank You for this decision, which slows down the process of increasing the minimum wage so that, carefully and over time, a wise decision can be made and our people can be helped, without moving our nation into bankruptcy. We agree with the statement made by Sen. Lindsey Graham, and we ask for Your wisdom to guide this
strategic process in the days to come.
- "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:8)
2. Democrat Coronavirus Relief Bill Will Force Americans to Fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz - LifeSite News
Republican lawmakers introduced an amendment Thursday that would apply the Hyde Amendment to the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill. The amendment to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 prohibits the gigantic relief bill from using any federal funds for abortions. The bill is more than twice as large as the stimulus plan produced during the Great Recession and almost half the cost of the United States’ annual federal budget, CNN reported.
“Unfortunately, House Democrats did not include Hyde Protections in the $1.9 trillion reconciliation bill,” Republicans Reps. Jackie Walorski, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Virginia Foxx said in a statement. The Hyde Amendment prevents federal funds from going to abortions. “We are leading to fix this to reflect Congress’s long bipartisan history of supporting Hyde,” the lawmakers said. “President Joe Biden supported it for years as a Senator. Democrats also joined us in prohibiting taxpayer funded abortions in all the previous COVID-19 relief packages.”
March for Life President Jeanne Mancini told the DCNF in a Friday statement that “pro-abortion Democrats are using this bill to push through billions of dollars in subsidies for abortions, not only here in the U.S. but also abroad.” “These pro-abortion politicians are attempting to use the budget reconciliation process to accomplish this because they would not otherwise have the votes needed to do away with popular pro-life riders that protect Americans from funding the life-ending procedure,” Mancini said. (Read more)
- Father, as this has passed the House of Representatives and now moves to the Senate, we ask that wisdom come to the members to see the hidden things tucked into the text. We ask for a move of Your Spirit to prevent the Senate from passing this bill.
- "Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their highways. The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked; no one who treads on them knows peace." (Isaiah 59:7-8)
3. CBO says Democrats’ $1.9 trillion relief bill would trigger $36 billion in Medicare cuts in 2022 - Washington Times
House Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill would trigger deep cuts to programs such as Medicare unless Congress works around a 2010 law intended to curb federal deficits, the Congressional Budget Office said Thursday. Lawmakers had been expecting such a report on the cuts, which are unlikely to take effect.
Under a 2010 law, the White House budget office has to identify “sequestration” cuts to offset projected increases in the federal deficit from new legislation. CBO projected that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) would have to issue a directive to cut mandatory spending by $381 billion in fiscal 2022, absent other offsets or waivers. That translates to $36 billion in cuts to Medicare. The 2010 law limits the reductions in Medicare spending and exempts a range of other programs, including Social Security. (Read more)
- Father, we pray You will intercept this relief bill and block its passage. Speak holy decline over this bill. In the Name of Jesus we pray.

4. These Three Republicans Voted for the Pro-Abortion Equality Act, Betraying Pro-Life Values - LifeSite News
The Equality Act, which critics argue is the “greatest threat to religious liberty,” passed the House of Representatives Thursday, 224-206. Every Democrat supported the legislation along with three Republicans. Reps. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., John Katko, R-N.Y., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., joined Democrats in passing the bill, which adds sex, gender identity and sexual orientation to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
In addition to eroding women’s rights and gutting religious freedom, The Equality Act strips healthcare workers of their conscience protections as it relates to sex reassignment surgery, hormone treatment, and abortion, and would force taxpayers to fund abortions.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas and other GOP lawmakers slammed the legislation and vowed to continue fighting it. “This body being led by Democrats is trampling the rights of the people in the name of ‘equality,’ in the false name of ‘equality,’” he said. “Our federalist system allows us to agree to disagree, and we should be able to do that. But if this Democratic Congress, and if the Democratic leadership, and if this White House continues to trample the rights of the people of the United States, then it is they who will be destroying this Union.” He continued: “We are going to keep fighting it in the courts and beyond, but most importantly, through free will as American citizens and our right to live free and to alter this government as necessary if they continue to trample our rights.”
The bill is expected to have a difficult time passing the Senate. (Read more)
- Father, we pray to our God in heaven that You enforce a ring of angels around all the supporters of this Equality Act and cause this Act to come to utter destruction. And once again, we release forgiveness for our enemies, as You have done on the Cross. Let this be done, according to Your will and in Your name, amen and amen.

5. Josh Hawley: ‘I’m not backing down’ - Washington Times
Sen. Josh Hawley vowed Friday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, that he will not bow down in the face of the criticism he has faced over his decision to object to the certification of votes in the 2020 presidential election. Mr. Hawley‘s futile effort has been blamed for helping to fuel the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and has made the Missouri Republican a pariah among lawmakers in both parties.
At CPAC, though, he was given a hero’s welcome.
“The last six weeks, the radical left, their corporate allies, the liberal media have tried to cancel me, censor me, expel me, shut me down, stop me from representing the people of Missouri, stop me from representing you, and guess what?” Mr. Hawley. “I am here today, I am not going anywhere and I am not backing down. Not a chance.”
Mr. Hawley was the first lawmaker to announce he would object to the certification of the electoral votes, echoing concerns over election integrity that former President Donald Trump and his allies had pushed for weeks leading up to the Senate certification of the votes. (Read more)
- Father God, we thank You for this young man of courage! We ask that his actions of integrity be noted by many -- especially among our young people and that they be inspired to follow in his footsteps. Lord God, keep Josh Hawley and his wife and children safe in these wicked times we pray, amen and amen.
- “You are my war club,
my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter nations,
with you I destroy kingdoms . . . "

6. Rural Town Left out of Money, Hope After Keystone XL Shutdown - The Epoch Times
PHILIP, S.D.—Entire towns and communities along the route of the Keystone XL pipeline—once lively and prosperous due to the economic opportunity it brought—have been left out of money and out of hope after the project was scrapped by President Joe Biden on his first day in office. One such town in rural South Dakota had invested heavily in their businesses in order to provide for an influx of workers the project had brought. Some businesses had even secured contracts with various companies working on the pipeline, but now have been left in deep debt and face a bleak future. Residents of Philip, a small town with less than 900 people, knew that the construction and extra business was temporary, but also knew that the revenue it was to generate would have long-lasting effects on their economy.
Tricia Burns is the owner of a popular fitness center in Philip called Ignite Wellness Studio, a place many Keystone workers frequented. Biden’s decision impacted her livelihood in three separate ways: first, her gym lost approximately $3,000 in recurring monthly income with the loss of membership alone; second, a ranch her family owned suffered a “substantial loss” due to the rise in energy and fuel costs; and third, she described a “heart wrenching loss” from not being able to see her newfound friends again, many of whom were pipeline workers forced to leave the town after being fired.
“The devastation was so evident,” Burns told The Epoch Times. “Not just loss of their jobs but a bleak future of the trade they worked so hard for." (Read more)

7. EU coronavirus summit: Vaccine certificates expected by summer - DW.com
Leaders from the European Union's (EU) 27-member states came to together for a virtual summit on Thursday with the aim of solving pressing coronavirus-related health and logistical problems confronting the bloc. Member state politicians used the meeting to discuss approaches to speeding up the delivery of vaccines, the implementation and use of vaccine passports and the potential for conflict arising from national border closings.
Perhaps the most important short-term announcement to emerge from the meeting was that of "convergence" around the concept of a vaccine passport.
Speaking at a press conference alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel said Europeans and their leaders "need to face the truth" about the difficulty of the task at hand but said hope was on the horizon.
In the evening press conference, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there was consensus on having the certificates, but not precisely how they should be used. "Everyone agreed that we need a digital vaccination certificate," the German chancellor said. She added that the certificates could be available by summer, as the bloc needs three months to create a technical framework. She stressed, however, that the creation of the certificates "does not mean that only those who have a vaccination passport are allowed to travel." (Read more)

level, that they destroy the works of the evil one. In Your Name we pray, amen and amen.

8. Leaked Emails Confirm UN Gave Names of Dissidents to CCP - The Epoch Times
Leaked emails prove that, contrary to United Nations denials, UN human-rights officials did in fact give the names of Chinese dissidents to the communist regime in Beijing before those activists were set to testify in Geneva against the Communist Chinese Party’s abuses. In fact, it appears from the leaked documents that the practice of handing over names of Chinese dissidents to the dictatorship was viewed as a “usual practice” by all involved. The whistleblower told The Epoch Times that it continues to this day, despite UN denials.
Chinese communist authorities used the names received from the UN to prevent the dissidents from leaving China. At least one dissident identified by the UN and detained by the CCP before leaving for Geneva, Cao Shunli, died while in detention. If the dissident expected to embarrass Beijing at the UN was already abroad, the CCP frequently threatened or even kidnapped and tortured the person’s family, according to UN whistleblower Emma Reilly, who first exposed the scandal.
Critics of the regime whose names were handed over by the UN included activists concerned about Tibet, Hong Kong, and the Islamic Uyghur minority in Western China—all of which are being targeted by the CCP for various reasons. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for a miracle from God that will bring release to these Chinese dissidents. In the Name of Jesus we pray.

9. CPAC: CloutHub CEO announces plans to create 'Faith Hub' on social media platform - Christian Post
The CEO of an alternative social media site announced plans to create a “Faith Hub” on his platform to allow people to discuss their faith freely without fear of censorship.
Jeff Brain was invited to speak at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference Friday to discuss his platform CloutHub, an alternative to establishment social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.
He began his speech by listing the names of people who have been banned and deplatformed from social media. Brain interacted with the audience, asking how many who were gathered at the conference had “experienced censorship on social media” or had their followers reduced.
After accusing the establishment social media platforms of working to “limit what we see in order to impose their values on us,” Brain described CloutHub as an “all-in-one, convenient platform that enables you to do everything you want on one platform.” According to Brain, CloutHub has the ability to create groups and send private messages like Facebook, be a public forum like Twitter, and a video sharing service like YouTube. (Read more)
- Father, how blessed it is to hear this encouraging news. We pray your blessings be upon Jeff Brain to open the door to a social media site that accepts talking about our faith freely. In Jesus' Name we pray.

10. US launches airstrike against Iranian-backed forces in Syria - Fox News
The U.S. military carried out an airstrike against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria Thursday, a senior official told Fox News. In the first known military action by President Biden, multiple facilities were struck by American F15 fighter jets that targeted Iraqi border-based Shia militia groups, Kait’ib Hezbollah and Kait’ib Sayyid al Shuhada. Both forces are suspected of having received funding and military support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
The senior official said the strike was "shot across the bow" and a defensive strategy, intended to deter Iran and its militia from launching rockets at U.S. forces in the region, like the recent attacks in Iraq. The Defense Department later confirmed the strikes. "These strikes were authorized in response to recent attacks against American and coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel," Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said Thursday.

- Father, we thank You for this strategic airstrike against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria. Lord, send a cloud of protection over all Americans who remain in the region, We pray in Jesus' Name.

11. Threat level raised for US troops in Iraq; American contractors put on high alert - Fox News
The Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve has raised the threat level for US service members in Iraq, while US contractors at Balad Air Base were put on high alert fearing a response to US airstrikes in Syria, two sources familiar with the move tell Fox News. Increasing force protection posture may last several days and is considered a routine precaution given current conditions on the ground. "Protection of coalition troops is the #1 priority, so taking force protection levels higher is wise and prudent," a source told Fox News.
At Balad Air Base, a separate decision was made by Sallyport Global, a company that fulfills US government contracts, to put American contractors on high alert, a person familiar said. From 6:30 pm to 5:00 am local time, only mission-essential movement will be allowed on base. Protective gear will be required for anyone outside of hardened buildings.
Balad Air Base was hit with a Katyusha rocket attack last weekend and one person was injured. This month, three major attacks by suspected Iranian-backed Shia militia have occurred against US citizens. (Read more)
- Father, we pray You send myriads of angels to Iraq on a mission to protect all American service members and Balad Air Base. Thank God for all Your holy protection. In Jesus' Name we pray.

We thank You for the strength that has emerged once again in the conservative movement, and we ask that every single decision now being made, from here forward, would be guided by Your Holy LIght and the counsel of Scripture.
Help us, O Lord, to rescue our nation and to cause it to remain "One Nation Under God," as we have always been since our founding. We ask this prayer in Your mighty and Holy Name, amen and amen.

A Riveting Word by Mario Murillo
500 PRO-ABORTION, GLOBALIST PASTORS CALL BELIEVERS WHO BACK TRUMP FALSE CHRISTIANS
By Mario Murillo
500 ‘Evangelical’ pastors recently wrote a letter that accuses believers who support Trump of not being Christian. They have even invented a new term to describe what they believe to be a threat to the world. They have coined a new title! “Christian Nationalists.“
I want to show you how wrong and misguided this letter is. We will begin with a tired model that anti-Trump “Christians” keep misapplying, likening Trump’s America to Nazi Germany.
These pastors who call themselves evangelical are trying to say that there is a group they have labeled ‘Christian Nationalists’ who are attempting to do with Trump what ‘misguided’ German Christians did with Hitler. And of course, their intention is to make you think of Trump as a kind of Hitler.
In fact, these pastors fancy themselves the new Dietrich Bonhoeffers. But they couldn’t be more unlike that heroic German pastor who opposed Hitler. Indeed, these pastors have it totally backwards. Instead of being men and women of conscience, they are guilty of a profound compromise and deception. The letter they wrote is diametrically opposite of what Bonhoeffer stood for.
For starters, if Trump is like Hitler, he is doing a terrible job. The media is against him. Academia is against him. Social media is against him. Hitler, on the other hand, controlled everything. He suppressed all opposing thought. He created the original cancel culture. So, in those ways, Hitler would be more akin to the Left who seek to destroy all opposition. Link to letter is below.
Where these pastors get it so wrong is in their ignorance of what ‘right wing’ is and what ‘left wing’ is. The fact is, Nazism is leftist, just as Communism is leftist. To call Nazism extreme right, is a fallacy.
Nazism began as socialism. Yes, indeed socialism is the spawn of the far-left regime known as Nazism, aka the National German Socialist Workers’ Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP).
Again, Hitler was not right wing. He was left wing. No conservative can be a Nazi. A true conservative innately abhors Nazism. Conservatism, as implied by its very name, seeks to conserve the values of a nation, and is thus the natural enemy of both Nazism and Communism.
But this is only the beginning of their errors.

A SHADOWY WAVE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE
During the late hours of Feb. 27th, departing sunspot AR2804 produced a C2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) detected a shadowy wave rippling away from the blast site.
This kind of wave is usually a sure-fire sign of a coronal mass ejection (CME). Indeed, just after the flare, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected a CME emerging from the sun's northwestern limb. Because the sunspot was not facing Earth, the CME will miss our planet.
Update: A few hours later, it happened again. Another C-flare, another shadowy wave, another miss. (Read more)

'Operation Broken Hearts': AZ Law Enforcement Agencies Arrest 37 for Child Sex Crimes, Human Trafficking
Authorities in Arizona have arrested 37 people in connection with child sex crimes and human trafficking.
"Operation Broken Hearts" was led by multiple agencies, including the Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler Police Departments, Homeland Security and the Arizona Attorney General's Office.
According to KNXV-TV in Arizona, the suspects ranged in age from 21 to 66 years old and are in custody for allegedly soliciting and/or negotiating deals for various sex acts.
"Throughout the operational period, officers and undercover detectives placed ads on websites and apps which are commonly sought out by suspects seeking illegal sex acts with children," the Phoenix police said in a statement.
The successful human trafficking operation is just one of many that have been reported over the past few months. (Read more)

About CHPP
About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
