Hollywood TV Exec’s Powerful Pro-America, Pro-Faith Message:
‘Things Have Changed’
Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Great American Media, is on a mission to support faith and family-friendly entertainment — and he has a message about what Hollywood’s churning out. “We have a very loyal audience and we happen to believe the majority of the country wants to see traditional family values and really experience content that’s supportive of faith, family, and country,” Abbott recently told CBN News at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. “And you look at Hollywood and 98, 99% of what’s produced is … anti-American, people of faith are demeaned and mocked, families are never shown in the traditional sense.”
 
He said families want to be uplifted and well-represented, with Great American Family and associated brands relying on the core pillars of “faith, family, and country” as they produce content. Abbott said people on the left of the political center often use Hollywood as vehicles to socially engineer content and push narratives. But Great American Media, he said, is looking to elevate uplifting and powerful sentiments. “We’ll happily sit in our space with the majority of the country,” he said. With the current culture shifting, Abbott said people are more willing to admit their views and perspectives and take a “breath of relief.  We’re very blessed that things have changed,” he said. (Faithwire) Watch Interview
- Abba, we are so grateful for family-friendly TV/streaming available for many seeking clean and uplifting entertainment within their households. Continue to bless the efforts of 'Great American Media' and 'Great American Family/Pure Flix' as they provide faith-based perspectives and shift from the standard culture narrative. May more media/streaming content follow and be swiftly brought into biblical realignment, due to audience pressure and impact. We declare an increase in purely patriotic, family and faith-based entertainment that will create dramatic change within the landscape of our current culture! In Jesus' Name- Amen.

- "I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me."  (Psalm 101:3)

Trump says US will deal 'directly' with Iran in high-level meeting on Saturday
'Iran is going to be in great danger' if nuclear talks fail, warns Trump  

President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. will engage "directly" with Iran in a high-level meeting set to occur this coming Saturday. 

"We have a very big meeting on Saturday, and we're dealing with them directly," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office while sitting next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

The announced meeting is the first known time the U.S. will directly engage with Iran since the previous Trump administration, when it withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. 

"We’ll see what can happen. I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious," Trump said in reference to his threat last week in which he said he would "bomb" Iran if it didn’t enter talks to end its nuclear program.

"[That’s] not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with, if they can avoid it," Trump continued. "We're going to see if we can avoid it. 

"It's getting to be very dangerous territory," Trump warned. "And hopefully those talks will be successful." (Fox News) Read more here.

- Holy One, we wholeheartedly agree that talks are preferable to "the obvious", in Jesus name.  We engage with You, Holy Spirit, praying that at this appointed time for talks, You go ahead and behind everyone in this matter. May there be a strong covering of Godly guidance and wisdom over the people of God in this entire discussion, and may the outcome be pleasing to You, O King, in Jesus name. We pray for a complete stop to the nuclear ambitions of Persia and bind the hatred under the Mighty Name of Jesus. May there be a tipping out of the bowls of intercession from all the prayers lifted up on behalf of this nation, in Jesus name.

- "Then he said to me, 'Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.'" (Daniel 10:12)

Supreme Court grants Trump request to lift stay halting Venezuelan deportations
Justices on the high court ruled 5-4 to grant the administration's request to lift the stay, in a temporary victory for Trump and his allies. 

The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Donald Trump’s request to vacate a lower court's ruling barring the administration from using a 1798 wartime immigration law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals – including alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang – from the U.S., marking a significant victory for the administration as it advances key immigration priorities.

Justices on the high court ruled 5-4 to grant the administration's request to lift the stay, in a temporary victory for Trump and his allies.

At issue was the Alien Enemies Act, or the immigration law passed by Congress in 1789 to immediately remove certain migrants from U.S. soil. 

Prior to Trump's second White House term, it had been invoked just three times in U.S. history: During the War of 1812, during World War I, and most recently, World War II.

Lawyers for the Trump administration had urged the court to vacate the lower court ruling, arguing in a Supreme Court filing that the lower court orders "rebuffed" their immigration agenda, including their ability "to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk debilitating effects for delicate foreign negotiations."

"Today's a bad day to be a terrorist in the United States of America," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a video posted to X, adding that Trump "was correct in using his authority on using the Alien Enemies Act to deport terrorists out of this country."

Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi called the "landmark" decision a "victory for the rule of law," adding that an "activist judge" in Washington, D.C., "does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe."

"The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again," Bondi concluded in her statement responding to the ruling. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Mighty God, we rejoice to see justice being released upon the executive branch of government, in Jesus' name. We bless President Trump in his every effort to keep America safe for citizens and we pray for all those from the cabinet members to the ground-level enforcers, who are working very hard to patrol our cities and remove bad actors from having free reign of our streets, in Jesus' name.

- "The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah." (Psalm 9:15-16)

Donald Trump to Hit China with 104% Tariffs as Xi Jinping Refuses to Halt Retaliatory Tariffs

President Donald Trump will slap 104-percent tariffs on China at midnight Tuesday, April 8, after President Xi Jinping refused to withdraw retaliatory tariffs placed on the United States.

Last week, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that have historically imposed high tariffs on the U.S., including China, which faced a 34 percent tariff in addition to existing tariffs on its goods.

In response, China’s state-run Global Times called the reciprocal tariffs a tool to “blackmail” China and a “tool for extreme pressure and to pursue selfish interests.”

Likewise, Xi announced a 34-percent retaliatory tariff on the United States. Trump then announced that China will face an additional 50-percent tariff if the retaliatory tariffs are not withdrawn.

On Tuesday, reports indicated that Xi had no plans to withdraw the retaliatory tariffs and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the combined 104-percent tariffs on China would go into effect at midnight.

“Countries like China, who have chosen to retaliate and try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers, are making a mistake,” Leavitt said. “President Trump has a spine of steel, and he will not break.” (Breitbart) Read more here.

- Father, we speak peace over this situation with China knowing that this is only the first of several disputes that will have to be addressed by President Trump and the U.S.A. in the future. We recognize that China is a very determined opponent, believing communism will be victorious. Our battle is not in flesh and blood, nor finances, but in the Spirit realm and thus we stand.  We pray for the victory of capitalism and freedom over communism and control, in Jesus name. Holy One, while the economies are critically important, they are a location preferable for battle than under most any other conditions. We call for the righteousness and wisdom of God to lead President Trump and we declare that the worldly wiles of Xi Jinping will let him down in his time of need, in Jesus name.

- "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power" (Ephesians 1:17-19)

1. Netanyahu: Iran deal must entail blowing up, dismantling nuclear sites - JNS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Tuesday about the potential perils of a nuclear deal with Iran, ahead of taking off for Israel following his meeting the previous day with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.

“We agree that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. This can be done by agreement, but only if this agreement is Libyan-style: They go in, blow up the installations, dismantle all of the equipment under American supervision and carried out by America—this would be good,” he said.

“The second possibility—that will not be—is that they drag out the talks, and then there is the military option. Everyone understands this. We spoke about this at length,” he added. (Read more)

2. High Court interim ruling says Netanyahu can’t fire Shin Bet chief Bar for now or limit his powers -Times of Israel

The High Court of Justice issues an interim injunction stating that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar must remain in office until further notice while the government and the attorney general’s office try to come to an agreement on how to resolve the legal dispute over his dismissal.

The court’s decision also formalizes its proposal to the government and the attorney general to reach such an agreement and gives the sides until April 20, the day after Passover, to do so.

Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs and representatives for the Attorney General’s Office appeared willing to hold a dialogue as to how to resolve the dispute, after Justice Noam Sohlberg initially suggested in court that the matter be sent to the advisory committee for senior civil service appointments for its recommendation.

3. Netanyahu 'puzzled' by court decision to freeze firing of Ronen Bar - Jerusalem Post

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the High Court of Justice's decision on Tuesday to freeze the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar until further notice.

"The judges on the panel repeatedly emphasized during the discussion that there is no dispute regarding the government's authority to remove the head of Shin Bet from office," a statement from the Prime Minister's Office began.

"Therefore, the Supreme Court's decision to delay the end of the Shin Bet head's term by 10 days is puzzling." (Read more)

4. Terrorists in Syria threaten Israel - Israel National News

Post-Assad Syria, under the rule of the Islamist Ahmed al-Sharaa, may soon become another serious front of confrontation for Israel in the north.

A video first published on Telegram shows a large-scale demonstration in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria in which chants supporting armed struggle against Israel could be heard.

The protest leader can be heard chanting, "We all kill ourselves for the sake of Allah," and the crowd is heard repeating him several times. Other chants that could be heard were: "Oh Palestine, we will not forget you," "The entire Syrian nation is with you [Palestine]," "Wake up the revolution [against Israel]," and "We will die, and Gaza will remain."

5. Replacing AG: Coalition has failed, process will restart - Israel National News

Coalition disagreements will delay the process of dismissing the Attorney General. Chairman of the Constitution Committee, Knesset member Simcha Rothman, announced on Tuesday afternoon that the meeting of the Constitution Committee to elect a Knesset representative to the committee that proposes candidates for the position of Attorney General has been cancelled, following coalition disagreements on the selection of the representative.

As a result, the selection process will restart, with a new selection date being set, which will be published at least two weeks in advance, and it will be possible to submit nominations up to a week before the selection date.

Yesterday, it was reported that Likud Knesset members were infuriated by Justice Minister Yariv Levin, after he promoted MK Yinon Azulai (Shas), as an agreed-upon candidate on behalf of the coalition, to serve as a member of the committee that will recommend candidates for the position of Attorney General in place of Gali Baharav-Miara.

1. 'Assassination culture': Shocking number of Americans say murdering President Trump is justifiable! - WND
 

Leftists long have given evidence of their advocacy for extreme violence: Consider the billions of dollars in damages Antifa and Black Lives Matter inflicted on American cities following George Floyd's death.

Whole city blocks were torched, businesses destroyed, buildings incinerated, and people died.

Or their long record of rioting on university campuses with the goal of silencing speech and speakers with whom they disagree.

And now it's gotten worse: A new study reveals that "the unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk," is growing and political violence against leftists' opponents is being "normalized."

That result is a finding that a broader "assassination culture" is "emerging within segments of the U.S.

It was not even a year ago that in two different incidents, assassins tried to take out President Trump, who then was a candidate for his second term in office. He was injured in one attack.

"These attitudes are not fringe – they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse," the report, "Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence," warns.

- Mighty God, we pray for a full stop to this evil agenda being advanced in our nation. It is unconscionable that civilized people from Congress down to neighborhood families would actually entertain and encourage such evil behavior. We bind every voice and plot speaking for destruction now in Jesus name and we declare life, peace and repentance upon every person engaged in such wickedness, in Jesus name. We pray, Holy Spirit, for You to strike every person in the heart whenever they speak death over another individual, in Jesus name. May Your light, life and salvation instead, pierce their hearts with a hunger for the Savior and truth, in Jesus name.

- "Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar, Burning with His anger, And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation. And His tongue like a devouring fire. His breath is like an overflowing stream, which reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, Causing them to err." (Isaiah 30:27-28) 
2. Reuters Retracts Bogus Report That Trump Was Considering Tariffs Pause - TheWrap.com
 

Reuters on Monday retracted a story claiming President Trump was considering a 90-day pause on his new tariff plan — and blamed CNBC for its mistake.  CNBC was also fooled by a viral X post that mischaracterized what a White House advisor told Fox News

Here is how the mess started: Both outlets were fooled by a viral X post that claimed Kevin Hassett, the White House national economic council director, had said he was considering a 3-month pause.

But the post — made by Walter Bloomberg, an account with more than 840,000 followers — mischaracterized what Hassett had said earlier in the morning on Fox News. Hassett was simply asked if Trump was considering a 90-day pause, but did not confirm or deny it, instead saying the president was focused on making some “great” deals.

CNBC Carl Quintanilla’s then referred to the bogus 90-day claim on air, with co-host David Faber adding “that’s huge.” You can see that moment below:

Reuters then reported the claim Trump was debating a 90-day pause on tariffs, and pointed to CNBC’s reporting on it. The quick burst of “news” about a potential break on tariffs helped spur a dramatic jump for the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones, with all three turning green after starting the morning down several percentage points. (Read more) 

- Holy One, we know the media has a vested interest in promoting and hyping issues beyond the truth in order to provoke many American citizens. We quell the fear and panic over the tariffs, stock market and even social security and broadcast peace upon this nation, in Jesus name. As this reset is taking place, we pray for economies to align, tariff conversations to release peace and the strong daily life of people to stand, in stark contrast to the intended confusion from the media, in Jesus name. We declare fizzle, fizzle, fizzle over the eagerness to jump to unwise conclusions and pray for truth to set people free.  

- "Thus says the Lord: 'Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk in it." Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, "Listen to the sound of the trumpet!" But they said, "We will not listen.'" (Jeremiah 6:16-17)

3. DOGE Official Claims Shocking Fallout from Biden’s Mass Migration: Millions of Migrants on Medicaid, Thousands Now on Voter Rolls and Voting- Breitbart

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official Antonio Gracias says millions of migrants, who were welcomed to the United States under former President Joe Biden, are now on the nation’s Medicaid rolls and voter rolls — with some having voted in last year’s election. Most recently, DOGE chief Elon Musk said that potentially millions of illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. under Biden have secured Social Security numbers.

In a recent interview with the All In podcast, Gracias detailed how easy it was for migrants, freed into the U.S., to get Social Security numbers on Biden’s watch: “[Border Patrol] was giving people at times Notices to Appear [NTAs], and what that allows you to do is come in the country and then you’re scheduled a court date like six years out,” Gracias explained:

So now you’re in the country with some quasi-legal status, you’re waiting for your court date, while you’re waiting for your court date — six years is the average by the way, it could be longer than that — you can fill out an asylum application, so without an interview, just an application … once that application is in, you can file another form, a 765 [form] to get work authorization, once you get that, you get a 766 which is the authorization and we automatically send you a Social Security card in the mail. No interview, that is the majority of the growth you see in these numbers. [Emphasis added]

We looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands are registered to vote in friendly states. And we looked even further in those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted. It was shocking to us. If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it … it is shockingly bad. [Emphasis added]

This is the tip of the iceberg, guys. This doesn’t include the 7.8 million that ICE has that have come in illegally that we know are here and all the people who are here illegally who we don’t know are here. I mean, this is not a political issue, this is about America. [Emphasis added] (Read more)
- Father of Lights and Truth, we pray for the life of our covenant nation to stand firm and strong against the wind and waves that are crashing upon us. It is so evident that there is a powerful cabal, built on shifting sand, seeking to cause the great fall of this nation. However, we declare that the United States of America is built on the rock of Jesus Christ and we will pray, do all we can as we stand, proclaiming the word of God as long as we have breath, in Jesus name. We lift up and pray for heavenly assistance for all those who are working to restore the sovereignty of our nation and elections; we ask for their voices to be amplified and their actions to be enforced, in Jesus name.

- "'Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the window blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.'" (Matthew 7:24-27)

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6:13)

4. Marine Le Pen Vows ‘I Won’t Give Up!’ as Thousands Rally in Paris Against Election Ban - Breitbart

Thousands of people gathered in Paris on Sunday to protest the court decision effectively banning National Rally leader Marine Le Pen from running in the 2027 presidential election, in which she is the undisputed frontrunner.

According to organisers, an estimated ten thousand people descended upon the Place Vauban square outside the Hôtel des Invalides complex in Paris, notable for being the location of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb. They showed their support for National Rally leader Marine Le Pen after a court banned her from standing in elections for five years over alleged embezzlement of EU funds, a ruling that she has appealed.

Ahead of the demonstration, Mrs Le Pen vowed that protests against the election ban would be a “peaceful” and “democratic fight” that would be inspired by the peaceful civil disobedience of figures like Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States.

Addressing the crowd at the Place Vauban, Le Pen said, per Le Figaro, “Everyone, be reassured: I won’t give up.” (Read more)

- Father, this accusation and criminal verdict against Marine LePen is disgusting on its face and sounds exactly like what President Trump went through a year ago. It is intolerable that one party in power can manipulate the systems in order to silence or even imprison their political opponents. That should have gone out with the dark ages, but clearly it's back with a vengeance and we pray for Your divine intervention on LePen's behalf, in Jesus name. We also pray for her  to meet You as Lord and Savior, in this dark time and we agree for victory for freedom in France, in Jesus name.

- "Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him." (Isaiah 30:18)

5. Trump admin unveils plan costing migrants massive fine for every day they don't self-deport - Fox News

The Trump administration plans to begin fining illegal immigrants subject to a deportation order $998 a day if they do not leave the United States.

"Illegal aliens should use the CBP Home app to self-deport and leave the country now. If they don’t, they will face the consequences," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Tuesday. "This includes a fine of $998 per day for every day that the illegal alien overstayed their final deportation order."

Using a 1996 law that was not enforced until President Donald Trump’s first term in 2018, the administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively to illegal immigrants for up to five years, resulting in fines of more than $1 million, an administration official told Reuters, who was first to report on the fines. (Read more)

- We pray for the people who will be liable for these immigration fines to take advantage of the opportunity to leave the US freely and return to their home countries and families. We pray for a surge of illegal immigrants to enroll in this program and grab their people here and fly home with a blessing, in Jesus name. May each potentially massive fine be sufficient to cause great numbers of people to outflow this country promptly, in Jesus name.  

- "But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Seek out his wickedness until You find none." (Psalm 10:14-15)

6. Report: Scientists Genetically Engineer Long-Extinct Dire Wolves - Breitbart

Scientists have reportedly genetically engineered dire wolves back into existence despite them being extinct for over 10,000 years.

A lengthy profile in TIME announced the scientific breakthrough on Monday with an expressed hope that the technology and methods used by Colossal Biosciences could potentially revive the woolly mammoth or preserve currently endangered species like the red wolf in North America or the quoll (a marsupial) in Australia.

The dire wolves went extinct in North America roughly 10,000 years ago from what scientists believe was the animal’s distinct hunting method of preying on larger animals as opposed to a more generalized hunting practice of smaller prey. According to Colossal’s chief scientist, Beth Shapiro, resurrecting the dire wolves involved taking blood cells from the living gray wolf and using gene editing technology (CRISPR) to genetically modify the cells in 20 different sites. This genetic material was then transferred to an egg cell from a domestic dog to create embryos that were then transferred to surrogates. The dire wolf pups gestated for 62 days with little complication before birth.

“We elected to put both pups with the surrogate who was displaying the best maternal instincts,” said Matt James, the company’s chief animal officer. “That reintroduction occurred just about two or so hours after birth, and she immediately began caring for them and allowing them to nurse. The idea that we could just take a vial of blood, isolate EPCs, culture them, and clone from them, and they have a pretty high cloning efficiency, we think it’s a game changer,” said George Church, Colossal co-founder and professor of genetics at both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The dire wolves have since been housed on a 2,000-acre ecological preserve at an undisclosed location somewhere in the United States. (Read more)

- God of All Creation, Lord of Heaven and Earth, we repent for humankind playing god and seeking to create life. This is not the first, nor the last, such attempt on planet earth, but we pray for it to be a marker of the end for such actions, in Jesus name.  We bind such scheming and strike it down in the Spirit, in Jesus name and pray for these animals to be sterile and short-lived. May there be a halt to such ignominious experiments so that Creator God is glorified instead.  

- "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)

Revoking Democrat Security Clearances is National Security

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, April 8, 2025

On March 22, President Trump revoked security clearances of several top Democratic Party leaders and operatives. The mainstream news media reported the story by characterizing Trump as acting against his “political opponents,” “critics,” “trembling with rage” against his political opponents. BBC said that Trump did this without having any evidence for claims of such things like election “meddling.” CNN said that it was just the latest move of Trump’s “grudge” against political opponents and his “crackdown” on top law firms. All this reporting was singing from the songbook of Trump being a vindictive dictator. But Trump’s own words give discerning people the real reasons for his security clearance revocations.

Trump stated, “I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information:  Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weissmann, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family. Therefore, I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information.” Read More

Eastern US And Europe Set To Feel The Sting Of A "Major Disruption" To Polar Vortex

A "major disruption" has recently rocked the Arctic polar vortex, causing it to weaken and reverse direction from west-to-east to east-to-west. Amid the chaos, the vortex shifted off the pole and drifted down towards Northern Europe.

For a bit of context: the polar vortex is a swirling mass of cold, low-pressure air that forms high above both of Earth’s poles. Over the Arctic, it spins counterclockwise in the stratosphere, about 16 to 50 kilometers (10 to 30 miles) above the surface, growing stronger in winter and weakening during the summer.

It has a complex relationship with the polar jet stream, a band of strong wind currents that form at the boundary of the polar vortex. Together, the vortex and jet stream help to keep cold air locked around the polar regions. However, under certain conditions, like a sudden warming of the stratosphere, this system can become unstable. When that happens, the polar vortex weakens or breaks apart, allowing cold Arctic air to spill into lower latitudes.

That’s exactly what happened in early March 2025. A sharp burst of stratospheric warming disrupted the Arctic vortex, causing it to unravel "in a spectacular fashion," as described by NOAA’s Polar Vortex Blog. The once-stable system lost its circular shape, became distorted, and even reversed its wind direction. Read More

May more media/streaming content follow and be swiftly brought into biblical realignment, due to audience pressure and impact. We declare an increase in purely patriotic, family and faith-based entertainment that will create dramatic change within the landscape of our current culture! In Jesus' Name- Amen.

- "I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me."  (Psalm 101:3)
