10 Commandments Monument Returns to Kentucky Capitol Grounds
|
|
|
The Ten Commandments are once again taking their place on the grounds of Kentucky’s state Capitol, marking a powerful return of one of the most enduring symbols of moral law and religious heritage in American history. As reported by The Christian Post, House Joint Resolution 15 passed decisively in both chambers of the Republican-controlled legislature and became law Thursday without the signature of Gov. Andy Beshear. The resolution authorizes the return of a granite Ten Commandments monument originally donated in 1971 by the Kentucky State Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Removed in the 1980s during construction, and later blocked by a court decision in 2002, the monument will now be restored to its original location within 180 days.
Supporters are praising the move as a restoration of both heritage and religious liberty. “We applaud the Kentucky legislature for restoring a part of Kentucky’s history,” said Roger Byron, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. He emphasized, “There is a long history and tradition of public monuments and displays that recognize the unique and important role the Ten Commandments have played in state and national history.” Vic Jeffries of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie, the organization that donated the original monument, expressed joy at its return: “We’re glad to have ours back where it belongs.” While some opposition was voiced, the overwhelming support from lawmakers and advocates highlights a growing recognition of the foundational role the Ten Commandments have played not just in Kentucky, but in the broader American story.

Father we CELEBRATE the wonderful news of the Ten Commandments' monument returning to Kentucky's State Capitol! May this important decision move our country to display God's Word upon the grounds of every capitol building. Abba, we invite You into Your rightful place within our nation's government and inside every mountain of society for the glory of God! Come and transform our nation to follow in the paths of Your righteousness by bringing a spirit of repentance, love for Your holy Word and genuine revival! In the mighty Name of Yeshua- Amen.
"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome". (1John 5:3)

AG Bondi Dismisses Biden-Era Suit That Accused Georgia of Suppressing Black Voters
|
|
|
Georgia reported record-breaking voter participation in elections subsequent to the law being enacted.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced on March 31 that she is directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to end its lawsuit against the state of Georgia over its 2021 election law, Senate Bill 202, reversing a high-profile challenge originally brought under the Biden administration.
In June 2021, the DOJ under the Biden administration alleged that Georgia lawmakers enacted Senate Bill 202 with the intent to suppress the votes of black Georgians. The DOJ had cited violations of the Voting Rights Act in its complaint and accused state officials of racial discrimination in election policy.
“Contrary to the Biden administration’s false claims of suppression, Black voter turnout actually increased under SB 202,” Bondi said in the statement announcing the decision. “Georgians deserve secure elections, not fabricated claims of false voter suppression meant to divide us.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

|
|
- Thank You Jesus for sanity, courage and integrity being restored to the leaders of our nation. We bless Pam Bondi for actually looking at the unrighteous reality of this lawsuit which contends that people of color are not able to get I.D. or figure out how and where to vote, thus being "suppressed". Data shows that people in Georgia were able to access voting facilities, even with this legislation meant to protect legal voting. It is contemptible that the Biden DOJ suggested that any people group is restricted from voting through "discrimination", except maybe illegal ones who don't have American citizenship or identification. May we continue pushing forward for election integrity, in Jesus name.
- "The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, But the unjust knows no shame." (Zephaniah 3:5)

US Treasury Targets Hezbollah’s Iran-Backed Aid Network
|
|
|
Individuals and entities helping to finance the Hezbollah terrorist group were sanctioned by the Department of the Treasury on March 28.
The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) “is designating five individuals and three associated companies involved in a Lebanon-based sanctions evasion network supporting the Hizballah finance team,” the agency said in a March 28 statement.
Hezbollah, also known as Hizballah, is an Iran-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon. Following the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel in October 2023, Hezbollah began firing thousands of rockets and mortars into Israel.
According to the Treasury Department, “the Hizballah finance team uses front companies to generate millions of dollars in revenue for Hizballah and support the group’s terrorist activities.”
The team manages several commercial projects and oil smuggling networks to generate revenue, which is eventually transferred to Hezbollah, according to the Treasury. This is typically done in conjunction with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF).
The individuals and companies that OFAC has sanctioned facilitate and conceal oil sales for IRGC-QF and offer the terrorist group access to formal financial systems. (The Epoch Times) Read more here
|
|
- We bless this team which has taken a bold step to hinder and obstruct the funding of terror against Israel, Lebanon and worldwide. We pray for the OFAC sanctions and exposure to be strong and effective in cutting off the access to these schemes and that other nations would also come on board against the financing of these bad actors and their evil ways, in Jesus name.
- "For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place; He will come down And tread on the high places of the earth. The mountains will melt under Him, And the valleys will split Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place." (Micah 1:3-4)

China's Role in US Fentanyl Crisis Directed by Regime Leadership, Expert Says
|
|
|
Tensions have been simmering between the United States and communist China as the two countries escalate tariffs on each other’s imports. Meanwhile, Beijing’s rhetoric has become increasingly confrontational.
In early March, the Chinese Embassy in Washington shared a social media post from its Foreign Ministry, repeating its message: “If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.”
President Donald Trump has warned that, while the United States does not seek war with China, it is “very well-equipped to handle it.”
Trump has imposed an additional 20 percent tariff on all goods made in China, citing a national emergency on the continued trafficking of fentanyl—a deadly opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine—into the United States.
To this day, China remains the primary source of fentanyl precursors, which are shipped to Mexico, where they’re manufactured into the illicit drug. It is then smuggled into the United States mainly via the southern border.
In response to Trump’s added tariff, Beijing imposed an additional 15 percent tariff on U.S. coal and natural gas and an extra 10 percent on agricultural equipment and pickup trucks.
The communist regime has also called the fentanyl epidemic the United States’ “own problem“ and has cast the U.S. tariffs as ”blackmail.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.
|
|
|
- Mighty King, this matter of fentanyl flooding out of China to be processed and smuggled in to the streets and young people of America is a symptom of a far greater evil that has been loosed upon China and the world. As Christians, we are admonished to repent and forgive; unfortunately, those who don't follow The Way, walk in revenge and retribution, which is where the Chinese Communist government stands. Fentanyl of today may be considered recompense for the opium wars of 200 years ago. We pray for the gospel of Jesus Christ to infiltrate China from Xi Jinping on down to the person in the street, in Jesus name. We pray for the tariffs to be effective in hindering the flow of fentanyl while the pressure against the cartels results in a massive halt to the drug processing and smuggling, in Jesus name.
- 'Thus says the Lord God: "Because the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the old hatred," 'therefore thus says the Lord God: "I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them." (Ezekiel 25:15-17)

State’s Bid to Cut Medicaid Funding to Planned Parenthood Hits Supreme Court
|
|
|
The court’s ruling could deal a blow to the abortion provider or widespread efforts to strip its government funding.
|
|
|
The U.S. Supreme Court may have turned the page on its previous role in ruling on national abortion policy, but it appears that the justices will still have a prominent part to play in the next chapter.
On April 2, the court will hear a case that does not directly affect abortion law but could have significant implications for the nation’s largest abortion provider.
At the heart of the case is the question of whether federal law unambiguously bestows Medicaid patients with the right to choose a specific provider. Planned Parenthood and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals say it does.
But the state of South Carolina, which bars taxpayer funding of abortion, says the law empowers states to decide which providers are qualified for Medicaid funding. South Carolina has asked the Supreme Court to step in.
Depending on how it’s decided, the case could deal a potentially fatal blow to Planned Parenthood or set back widespread efforts to defund the organization once and for all.

1. Cops fear obstruction of justice in Qatargate probe as key suspect and PM share lawyer - Times of Israel
A senior police official in the Lahav 433 serious crimes unit told the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday that police are concerned about possible obstruction of justice in the so-called Qatargate investigation because attorney Amit Hadad, who is representing Jonatan Urich, one of the central suspects in the scandal, is also Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lawyer.
Netanyahu gave testimony as a person with knowledge of the affair on Monday, although it has yet to be decided if he will be questioned by the police under caution as a suspect.
“There is a problem here in that attorney Amit Hadad represents the prime minister, and is also the attorney of one of the suspects here,” Superintendent Gili Rachlin told the court. (Read more)

3. Israel’s National Security Council Warns of Increased Threats to Jews Abroad Ahead of Passover - Algemeiner
Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) has issued a warning for Israeli and Jewish individuals traveling abroad during the upcoming Passover holiday, citing potential threats from Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other extremist groups.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the NSC identified Iran as a key force behind global terrorism, stressing its ongoing support for operations targeting Israeli and Jewish communities worldwide.
“Iran is the main instigator of global terrorism against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world, both directly and through its proxies,” the statement read. “It continues to use terrorism as a key policy instrument, in response to and in revenge for the harm inflicted on high-ranking Iranian officials and senior Hezbollah and Hamas operatives in the Swords of Iron war.”
Over the past year, several Iran-led terrorist plots targeting Israeli diplomatic missions in countries such as Sweden and Belgium were prevented.
Officials also said there have been efforts by Iranian terrorist groups to engage with Israeli citizens abroad, aiming to harm or abduct them. (Read more)

An Arizona congressman introduced legislation Monday to remove the federal judge who has blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members, offering a novel path that avoids the impeachment process and the need for two-thirds support in the U.S. Senate.
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., filed a resolution that would remove U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for “failing to maintain the standard of good behavior required of judges" under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution. (Read more here)

- Praise You Mighty God because we have been praying for strategies to intervene on the judicial overreach and likely corruption against our President and we, the people. May this be an effective and viable avenue to remove those who act in bad faith from the bench and are intent on usurping the power of the Executive branch unto themselves. We bind, resist and oppose all dictates against our President's authority to maintain safety and security of this nation and its citizens, in Jesus name. We pray for agreement and strength in numbers in Congress to stand together for righteousness and true justice, in Jesus name.

Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,'" (Isaiah 46:8-10)

2. Jayapal: We’re Training Americans to Take Down Potential Trump Dictatorship - Breitbart
Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that she was training Americans to help take down a potential “dictatorship” of President Donald Trump.
At her resistance lab training, Jayapal said, “It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room. It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.”
Maddow said, “Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events.”
Jayapal said, “Yeah I mean, what we decided is that we really need to help Americans understand what happens when democracies fall when dictators take over. We’ve been pretty complacent in America. We haven’t had to really deal with this in any real way. And now I think people need to understand what are the lessons from other countries and working with experts who have studied democratic backsliding in countries around the world and the resistance movements that emerged to take on that democratic backsliding.” (Read more)

- Father God, we ask You for clear understanding of this semantics issue being raised up by loud people. We see that dark and dangerous countries, where Your followers are imprisoned or killed, like Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) value the term "democratic", so we ask for Godly revelation of this word and concept. We pray for Your understanding about how we should address the aggressive members of Congress over this matter and how we can define what is meant by it. May we also be granted the wisdom to understand why it is not mentioned in our Constitution. We decree victory over the plans to undermine and overthrow our free Constitutional Republic nation, in Jesus name.
- "For thus says the Lord, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited; 'I am the Lord, and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, "Seek Me in vain"; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.'"

3. MUST SEE: Elon Musk Confirms Widespread Voter Fraud as Millions of Non-Citizens Get Access to Social Security, Medicaid, and the Ballot Box — Millions Referred to DHS for Illegal Voting Prosecution (VIDEO)
- The Gateway Pundit
Billionaire entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery 100-minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaigned for conservative judge Brad Schimel in the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday.
Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team tasked with rooting out waste in the federal government, Musk unveiled a shocking chart: a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024.
That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.
“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk declared, pointing to the data. “This wasn’t an accident. This was a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.” (Read more)

- Oh Heavenly Father, the revelations stemming from these 5 million illegal immigrants becoming embedded in our federal resource system are shocking and infuriating. Our nation should be a beacon for integrity, truth and the rule of law, but instead, many government agencies worked together to incentivize and welcome millions of people from impoverished nations to break the law and come to our country to take full advantage of the resources made available to them. We pray for forgiveness to all the families whose children have been lost in the cruel cesspool of trafficking, the women who have been unspeakably violated and every person who has perished in the process of attempting to reach our nation's borders to fulfill the foul plans of the corrupt, in Jesus name. We pray for life and Godly encounters leading to repentance for all involved, in Jesus name.
- "For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:30-31)

4. GOP-led states remove hundreds of thousands from voter rolls, finding non-citizens had registered - Just the News
Two Republican-led states have removed hundreds of thousands of registrations from their voter rolls this month, while another identified hundreds of non-citizen voters during their voter list maintenance.
Collectively, the GOP-led states of Idaho and Missouri took nearly 300,000 registrations off their voter rolls after finding inactive, ineligible, or deceased voters, in addition to duplicates and voters who moved. Iowa identified nearly 300 non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls and referred them to the Iowa attorney general.
At the federal level, support from White House
President Donald Trump issued an executive order on election integrity last week, offering assistance to states on maintaining voter rolls. “To identify unqualified voters registered in the States: the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered,” the executive order reads.
The order added that DHS, with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), “shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities … alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.” (Read more)

- HalleluJah for the states that are cleaning their voter rolls and looking to uphold righteousness in elections. We pray for other states as well to clean out the illegitimate voter registrations in Jesus name. We pray for nationwide alignment with the evidence coming forth from DOGE and all the other teams who have been evaluating and speaking out about the unreliable voter rolls. We pray for strength for the citizens to demand that the states oppose dirty or corrupt election records and that there is victory upon victory for clean and righteous elections, in Jesus name.

5. ‘Political Death Sentence’ Populist Marine Le Pen Banned From Running in French Presidential Election by Court - Breitbart
A Paris court ruled Monday that National Rally leader Marine Le Pen will be ineligible to run for public office for five years, likely including in the upcoming presidential race, after being found guilty of embezzlement of European Union funds.
A “political death sentence” has been handed out to three-time presidential candidate and current frontrunner in the race to replace President Emmanuel Macron in 2027, Marine Le Pen.
The Paris court found that Le Pen, along with eight other National Rally Members of the European Parliament, had embezzled 2.9 million euros in funds intended for parliamentary assistants for the party in Strasbourg on political operations in France. The court’s president found Le Pen personally guilty of embezzling 474,000 euros, Le Monde reported.
Le Figaro reports that she was sentenced to four years imprisonment, which will likely be served on probation with an electronic tag rather than in jail, a fine of 100,000 euros, and five years of ineligibility from running for public office. (Read more)

- Holy One, we pray for Marine Le Pen, to arise victorious over this effort to silence her, in Jesus name. If she is guilty, let the consequences stand, but if she is innocent and this is a political attack against her, we pray for You to send her strong supporters who can hold up her arms and stand together in righteousness against the attack, in Jesus name. We pray for her to find You as her Lord and Savior during this fiery trial and we ask You, Holy One, to be the redeemer of France and use whomever You will to stand in the position of authority in this unstable period of time, in Jesus name.

6. Teenagers Coming Into Adulthood Carrying Heart Disease Risks, AHA Report Finds - The Epoch Times
A generation once considered at the peak of health is facing a cardiovascular crisis.
New research from the American Heart Association reveals that young adults between 18 and 25 are experiencing heart-related risks at unprecedented rates, specifically because of factors like rising obesity, increased tobacco use, and sedentary lifestyles.
“Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., and alarmingly, more young adults are experiencing their first major cardiac event, such as a heart attack or stroke, due to early risk factors, like rising blood pressure and pre-diabetes,” Jewel Scott, chair of the scientific statement writing group, told The Epoch Times (Read more)

- Mighty God, this is a heart-breaking issue because prior to the covid-19 injections, young adults almost never had heart-related issues of any sort. However, the picture of young athletes dropping on the field, on the court, or in the streets is etched into our very souls and we must not overlook this tragedy nor sideline these consequences, in Jesus name. We pray for divine healing over our young people and for families to know how to steward their bodies and futures through healthy food, nutrition and habits, in Jesus name. We pray for this unbearable tragedy to be reversed and that life would blossom with salvation, for the glory of God.
- "And behold, a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, 'Lord, if You are willing You can make me clean.' Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, 'I am willing; be cleansed.' Immediately his leprosy was cleansed." (Matthew 8:2-3)

The War Over Social Security
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, April 1, 2025
The media and Democrats once again are fearmongering that the Trump Administration is looking to cut Social Security when Trump is actually trying to get to the bottom of the graft and waste in the agency. Historically, Republicans have been accused by Democrats of plotting to take away seniors’ Social Security benefits when, in fact, the Democratic Party often voted to pilfer the Social Security fund by allocating its money to other government programs. The Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is exposing this fraud and Democrats and the media are melting down, especially over the latest findings pointing to the Biden Administration issuing millions of Social Security numbers to illegals that voted.
At a March 30 Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk introduced Antonio Gracias, a billionaire investor who is working with Musk investigating social security. Gracias explained that in 2021 some 270,000 illegal immigrants received Social Security numbers and that number under the Biden Administration jumped to over 2.1 million in 2024. Not disclosing the numbers, Gracias said a sampling found people in this group registered to vote and voted. Musk said that the Biden Administration conducted “a large-scale effort to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to reshape the US voting system and make it a permanent one-party state.” Instead of investigating the story, the media and Democrat operatives (who have the most to lose if Musk/Gracias are correct) denied it and attacked the character and wealth of Musk and Gracias.

Senators Introduce Bill to Abolish TSA, Privatize Airport Security
|
|
|
|
The only government agency to face more loathing than the IRS may soon see its days cut short. U.S. Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) have introduced a bill to abolish the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and establish private security at U.S. airports. “The TSA is an inefficient, bureaucratic mess that infringes on Americans’ freedoms,” said Tuberville.
The bill would give TSA three years to transfer the responsibility for airport security screening to private companies. It would transfer “non-aviation security functions” of TSA, such as mass transit, pipelines, etc., to the Department of Transportation. And it would create an Office of Aviation Security Oversight within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to oversee airport security screening, instead of TSA.
The TSA’s failures run deeper than many Americans know. “The TSA has not only intruded into the privacy and personal space of most Americans, it has also repeatedly failed tests to find weapons and explosives,” explained Lee. During tests conducted in 2015, TSA personnel failed to detect 95% of dangerous items smuggled through security checkpoints. After reforms, further testing in 2017 revealed the agency still had a failure rate of approximately 80%. (Read more) Source: The Washington Stand

- Father God, as our legislators work diligently to identify federal funds that can be
eliminated in the effort to decrase spending, we welcome this bill that has been introduced by Senators Mike Lee and Tommy Tuberville. We ask that this initiative would find favor and be passed in the Senate, to be followed by the members of the House. Thank You, O Lord, for these creative ideas that are designed to shrink our budget under President Trump. Amen!
- " Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." (I Timothy 2:1,2)

Stefanik to Remain in House to Preserve GOP Majority
|
|
|
|
In a surprising move, President Donald Trump has withdrawn his nominee for ambassador to the United Nations in an effort to preserve the Republicans’ slim majority in the House. In a Truth Social post Thursday, the president announced that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) would not be going to the U.N. as originally planned but would remain in Congress.
“As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress. We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning,” Trump stated. He continued, “I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
“With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day,” the president emphasized. He added, “There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People.” (The Washington Stand)

- Father God, we thank You for the wisdom demonstrated by President Trump as he stands alongside the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to preserve the slim majority now being held by the Republican party in that chamber. We ask that You bless Rep. Stefanik for her gracious move, stepping down from an assignment at the United Nations to hold the line in the House for her party. And Lord, as President Trump seeks another to serve as our Ambassador to the United Nations, we ask that You would lead him to the exact right choice -- to one who will stand strong for Israel in that global chamber. In Your Name we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
- "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)

Trump considers former ambassadors Friedman, Grenell for UN role
|
|
|
|
President Donald Trump said on Monday he had several potential candidates for US ambassador to the United Nations, including Richard Grenell, a former ambassador to Germany, and David Friedman, a former envoy to Israel.
Last week Trump withdrew the nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik for the job over concerns that her exit from the House of Representatives could threaten Republicans' narrow majority.
Asked on Monday who he was considering instead, Trump said as many as 30 people were interested in the job.
He listed Grenell, now a special envoy for his administration, as well as the interim president of the Kennedy Center, and Friedman, the ambassador to Israel during Trump's first term in office.
"We have a lot of good people that want it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
'A star-making position.'
"We have a lot of people that have asked about it, would like to do it: David Friedman, Ric Grenell, and maybe 30 other people. Everyone loves that position. That's a star-making position."

- Lord God, once again, we first want to honor Rep. Elise Stefanik for her graciousness in stepping down from this nomination in order to help Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump to hold the line for the Republican majority in Congress. We also praise You, O Lord, that so many other well-qualified candidates are now stepping forward to fill the position of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. We ask that, as our President seeks You for wisdom in choosing this critical nomination, You would grant it. In Your Name, amen and amen.
- "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)

11th century church is being engulfed by rising reservoir in Spain
|
|
|
Drought-quenching rain is a welcome sight in Spain, and a nearly 1,000-year-old church resting on the bottom of the Sau Reservoir is almost completely underwater following wet weather.
Spain has been battling drought for months on end, and an unusually wet March has helped to fill critical water reservoirs, including one with a historic landmark resting at the bottom.
The old church of Saint Romà de Sau was built in the 11th century but was submerged in 1962 following the construction of the Sau Reservoir, located in northeastern Spain about 45 miles north of Barcelona.
During times of drought, when the reservoir is nearly empty, the nearly 1,000-year-old church is unveiled, and people can walk to visit the building. This has been the case multiple times in recent years, including at the end of 2024 and the start of 2025. However, a shift in the weather has helped to refill the depleted reservoir, submerging the church once again. 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."
