Pray for President Donald Trump
White House Offers Two Contradictory Messages On Trump's Health After Entering Walter Reed
White House officials presented two apparently contradictory messages on the President Donald Trump's health on Saturday, with doctors saying he was doing "very well" and other sources saying he is "not on a clear path to full recovery."
White House Physician Sean Conley said at a Saturday briefing outside Walter Reed hospital that the president has been fever-free for 24 hours and is not currently using oxygen. Minutes later, however, a "source familiar with the president's health" told White House pool reporters that Trump's vitals over the past 24 hours were "very concerning."
"The president's vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We're still not on a clear path to a full recovery," the source said.
This quote being included in the official White House pool report implies it was an official statement from the White House that they requested be made anonymous. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was filmed approaching pool reporters shortly after the briefing and reportedly requested to go off the record.
Conley confirmed Trump had a fever on Thursday, but did not specify its severity and assured reporters Trump no longer had one. Doctors currently have Trump on a five-day plan of administering the Remdesivir coronavirus treatment, but they declined to give a timeline of when they expect the president to leave the hospital.
Doctors confirmed Trump has been up and about his normal business and not relegated to bedrest or a prone position.
While Conley was emphatic that Trump was not on oxygen Saturday, Thursday, or when he was at the hospital on Friday, he declined repeatedly to say outright that Trump has not used oxygen. This implies the president may have used oxygen on Friday prior to traveling to Walter Reed.

- Father God in heaven, this morning we lift our President, Donald John Trump, before Your Throne of Grace, along with our First Lady, Melania Trump. We ask for Your healing touch to rest upon each one as they recover from this bout with COVID-19. Lord God, surely this was an attack from the evil one, so we bind the hands of those who have caused this to happen; we forgive each one; and we bring each one to You for judgment.
Father God, we take note, too, that it seems that the Democratic leadership is not getting hit with positive tests of this virus, while the Republicans are succumbing to this pandemic. Lord God, the facts tell their own story. Please protect and deliver EVERYONE who has been impacted by the Coronavirus, and set us free, in Your Name we pray, Holy One, amen.
- "He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions." (Psalm 107:20)
The Democrats’ Strategy
THE DEMOCRATS' 7 STEP STRATEGY TO WIN THE ELECTION - Breitbart
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," Democratic political operative Rahm Emanuel famously said. The former Chicago mayor's point was that a crisis gives political players the opportunity to bend, and maybe even break, the normal rules.
Today, the country is facing a Covid-19 crisis, as well as a crisis of rioting in the streets and a spiking crime rate, and now even a vacancy on the Supreme Court. But as far as Democrats are concerned, the real crisis is Donald Trump, and these other crises provide an opportunity to defeat him.
With less than 40 days until Election Day-and with early voting starting even sooner-Democrats and their media allies (or the "Democrat-Media Complex," as Andrew Breitbart liked to call them) are not wasting these crises in their quest to win back the White House.
We can see a seven-step Democratic strategy emerge to win the election by unleashing chaos in our voting system, violence in our streets, and a legal fight that could lead all the way to highest court in the land, which is currently missing a member.
1. Use the pandemic to push for a nation-wide vote-by-mail scheme.
2. Enlist all the messengers at your disposal (Hollywood, Corporate Media, Big Tech, Pro Sports) to push for vote-by-mail.
3. Get millions of questionable mail-in ballots into the system.
4. Send Democratic lawyers into key districts to fight for every challenged ballot. Use the courts and progressive election officials to keep the count going as long as possible with as little verification as possible.
5. Set expectations that the election will not be decided on November 3. Plan for mass protests in the streets. Scare people into believing that Trump won't leave office (should he attempt to challenge the results).
6. Challenge the results in court with the help of election officials and district attorneys that George Soros has spent years getting elected.
7. Let Chief Justice John Roberts (or the new Justice?) pick the next president. Or let Nancy Pelosi do it.
- We pray that the precious Blood of Jesus will be upon each and every one of these evil items, bringing to defeat all of their efforts. Send innumerable angels, Oh God, to fight the demons motivating these people. Satan and all his demons were defeated at the Cross and they are now experiencing this truth. God is God and God is Almighty. God rules the world. God is smashing satan's kingdom under His feet, today, tomorrow and forever. In the powerful Name of Jesus we pray.
- "For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?" (Isaiah 14:27)
The Daily Jot
The Debate: Just the facts, ma'am
Thursday, October 1, 2020
There were a whole bunch of words flying around the first presidential debate. It kept the fact-checkers busy all night. As the left-wing news media gives Joe Biden a break, and soft sells his inadequate answers to reasonable questions, it might be good to look at a few of the mud slings Joe "here's the deal" Biden threw up to see what stuck on the wall. How about starting with the longstanding debate on President Trump's taxes. To be honest, I do not know why this is an issue. Tax returns are private. It's nobody's business how much a person pays in taxes. And that is a constitutional underpinning of the Fourth Amendment, protecting the right to privacy. But these days, the Constitution doesn't seem to matter.
For the record, President Trump said that he paid millions in taxes. Biden said that Trump only paid about $750 in taxes. The New York Times, which claimed in a sensational hit story that it had Trump's tax returns, reported that Trump said that his liability should have been $750 because he had overpaid his taxes. That is the story that the Democrats and Biden focused on rather than the truth-go figure. The NYT actually reported: "Mr. Trump paid alternative minimum tax in seven years between 2000 and 2017 - a total of $24.3 million, excluding refunds he received after filing. For 2015, he paid $641,931, his first payment of any federal income tax since 2010." See how they twist the truth?
Debate moderator Chris Wallace and Joe Biden double teamed Trump to demand he condemn white supremacism, as if Trump had never done so. Two days after the Charlottesville, VA violence in August 2017, President Trump said, "Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups." A month later, he signed a congressional resolution condemning white supremacy. In 2019, following shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, Trump said, "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul." Both Wallace and Biden repeated the "very fine people" hoax as well.
There were many more lies that were allowed to stand during the debate: Antifa is an idea not an organization; Obama left Trump a booming economy; Biden didn't call military members "stupid bastards"; Biden's son didn't receive $3.5 million from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow; that Biden didn't support the Green New Deal; and on and on. The problem was that the "debate" was so visceral that the normal person couldn't digest all the lies fast enough. Ephesians 5:6 says, "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." There are consequences to believing lies and falling prey to deception. Let's not let this year's election be one of them.
