Trump blasts Harris as part of Truth Social flurry on what she 'didn't mention' in DNC speech
|
|
|
Trump and Harris will square off in a debate on September 10
|
|
|
CHICAGO – Former President Donald Trump, as part of a live thread on Truth Social, blasted the Democratic National Convention speech of Vice President Kamala Harris in a variety of posts including one after she concluded talking about what she "didn't mention."
"She didn’t mention China, she didn’t mention fracking, she didn’t mention Energy, she didn’t mention, meaningfully, Russia and Ukraine, she didn’t mention the big subjects of the day, that are destroying our Country," Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after Harris' speech concluded.
The former president posted several criticisms of Harris during the speech on several issues.
"There are 60 million people in poverty in the U.S., under their watch, and she doesn’t even talk about them!" Trump posted. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we are so grateful for Donald John Trump -- the 45th President of the
United States of America. We thank You that You have given us a leader who speaks TRUTH, in all circumstances and at all times. We ask that Your hand of favor and of blessing would rest upon President Trump during this election season; and that America's voters will vote for TRUTH in this election. In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.
- "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." (John 8:32)

RFK Endorsing Donald Trump, the Next Unexpected Twist
|
|
|
In a race that has been marked by an assassination attempt and the Democrat front-runner being forced out, will RFK's surprise endorsement of Donald Trump have the most impact?
The 2024 presidential election race is about to take its next unexpected turn. Later today, Robert Kennedy Jr. is expected to suspend his presidential race. If the rumors are true, he will endorse Donald Trump in a stunning rebuke to the party that is inexorably linked to the legacy of his father and his uncle, brothers Jack and Bobby Kennedy.
RFK Jr. was never a serious candidate. He has a famous name (to those of us old enough to remember), a tinge of legitimacy, and a wealthy billionaire running mate to keep the train going. It wasn’t enough to reach office but it got his foot in the door after RFK Jr. was shunned by Democrat Party insiders in their initial effort to prop up husk of a president, Joe Biden. Now they are stuck with Biden’s insurance policy, Kamala Harris.
It terrified the Dems to have RFK Jr. in the running, so they rigged the rules, banned him from state ballots, and vilified him as extreme. And to dampen his impact on the Harris-Walz ticket, after trying to deny him ballot access and remove RFK Jr. from the state ballots he made his way to, Democrats will now attempt to keep him on ballots to hurt Trump. Such hypocrites.
He’s now rumored to be ready to endorse Trump and is expected to announce his campaign suspension in Phoenix, where Trump is scheduled to hold a rally nearby. Coincidence? Unlikely. (American Greatness) Read more here.
|
|
- Lord God, this election, from its very start, has been one of continual surprises and upsets. We now give you Robert Kennedy Jr. as he prepares for a possible endorsement of President Trump; and we ask that President Trump would know Your will in making this next decision. This election is clearly an opportunity for all of us to practice the reality of living one step at a time. Amen.
- "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mathew 6:34)

"We are Good Men" Podcast Directly From Inside the DC Gulag Featuring J6 Political Prisoner Edward Badalian
|
|
J6 political prisoners Jonathan Mellis and Edward Badalian have released a new episode of their podcast from directly inside the DC Gulag.
The new episode of “We Are Good Men” features Mellis interviewing his co-host, J6 political prisoner Edward Badalian.
Co-host Jonathan Mellis is one of several January 6 defendants who witnessed Officer Lila Morris brutally beat Roseanne Boyland’s unconscious body and attempted to stop police from brutally beating demonstrators.
The government attorneys fabricated instances of Mellis assaulting cops with whom he had never interacted during his sentencing hearing.
In September, for four minutes inside the Capital, Edward Badalian was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson to 51 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and fines.
We Are Good Men lets J6 political prisoners tell their stories in their own words. The intro to the podcast shares:
January 6th was the day four innocent patriots were killed. Hundreds more of us were rounded up and placed in solitary confinement. For many of us, this lasted a year. And we were also denied visitation with our families for two years.
Most of us are still incarcerated, the sentences reaching up to 22 years. The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were falsely accused of seditious conspiracy and given the highest sentences.
Joe Biden and the corrupt DOJ owe these patriots a special apology.
If you would like to help Edward, please visit here.
|
|
- Abba, the unjust sentences of Edward Bedalian and all the J6 patriots fall at the feet of Joe Biden and those who are actually running the White House. We ask for revelation of those "behind the scenes", making decisions that are anti-American, unethical and illegal. We ask for each of those people, for every judge and all in support of these unjust convictions to be identified, held accountable and charged to the fullest extent of the law possible. Father God, we ask that unjust sentences become the sentences for those who handed them down. We ask for Your justice to be seen in our country once again. Jesus, release your angelic hosts to minister to all who are still behind bars and their families, restore hope and give them all rest, peace and whatever You know their hearts need.. We ask this in the name Yahweh Shalom, The Lord Our Peace.
- "Deceit is in the hearts of those
who plot evil, but those
who promote peace have joy."
(Proverbs 12:20)

Has God Supernaturally Thwarted Iran & Hezbollah From Launching Apocalyptic Missile Attacks Against Israel? Or is the Attack Still Coming?
|
|
Here are 3 biblical stories of God's protection to study and consider at this dangerous hour
Why hasn't the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah, its terror proxy army in Lebanon, launched thousands of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and suicide drones at Israel?
For weeks, the Israeli military has been on the highest possible alert.Ten million Israeli citizens are trying to go about their days normally but are all highly cognizant of the fact that a full-scale attack – and a massive new regional war – could occur at any moment.
Upwards of two dozen international airlines have canceled flights to and from Israel.
Yet, so far, the attack has not come. Why not?
IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER SPEAKS OF "DIVINE WRATH"
Ever since Fuad Shukr, the #2-ranking Hezbollah leader, was assassinated in his apartment in Beirut -- and Ismail Haniyeh, the #1 top leader of Hamas, was assassinated in Tehran on July 31 -- Israel's mortal enemies have been vowing revenge. In his Aug. 1 speech, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's top leader, vowed to punish Israel terribly.
"Our response is coming, Allah willing," Nasrallah declared. Because the "precious blood" of his deputy, Fuad Shukr, has been shed, "the resistance [Hezbollah's army] cannot -- no matter what the consequences -- remain idle." "Our response will be strong, impactful, and effective," the Hezbollah leader insisted.
WHAT, THEN, IS TAKING SO LONG?
Many Israelis, as well as many Palestinians, and Arabs throughout the Epicenter, are baffled that apocalypse-level attacks have not yet come.
IS GOD HIMSELF THWARTING THE ATTACK?
|
|
- Abba, we thank You for Joel Rosenberg's words showing how You are pleased when Your children cry out to you with prayer, fasting, worship and praise! Thank You that You hear the cries of our hearts and answer! Father God, Your people Israel are seeking Your protection and deliverance from the retaliation being threatened by Iran. We thank You that You have heard each heart cry, You have seen each tear, You know the hearts of those praying, fasting, worshiping and praising, and You ARE answering. We give you high praise for what You did for Israel through Elisha, Jehoshaphat, and Esther. Jesus, as we come seeking Your face, knowing that You truly are our only hope, build our faith! You tell us to remember what You have done before, and we say, "do it again, God"! Allow what we see happening now be what we can point at and say, "This is that!! This is like what God did to rescue His people Israel centuries ago! We ask this in the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God who has ultimate power over all things.
- "The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge
in him will be condemned." (Psalm 34:22)

"I Ask for Forgiveness": Departing Israeli Intel Chief Takes Full Responsibility for Oct 7
|
|
Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, who took the podium after Halvila, will lead Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate.
Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, the departing head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, said he took full responsibility for the intelligence failures that led to the October 7th Hamas invasion and said, “I will carry it on my conscience until my last days.”
At a ceremony on Wednesday, he said, “The failure of the intelligence corps was my fault,” and he called for an investigation to “understand deeply” how Hamas was able to invade and overwhelm communities in southern Israel.
Haliva, who has served in the military for 38 years, stressed that he took his job seriously and had devoted his life to Israel’s defense.
“I did everything to be a loyal soldier of the IDF and the State of Israel. I was given the greatest privilege to serve the State of Israel and its citizens,” he said.
However, Haliva added, “On that Shabbat, we did not fulfill the most important mission we are tasked with, which is warning the public about an attack from an enemy.” (World Israel News) Read more here.
|
|
- Abba, You are the only one who truly knows what allowed October 7th to happen in Israel. We thank you for Maj. Gen. Halivas' taking responsibility for it, but the obvious pre-planning not discovered involved more than just his miscalculation. Father God, we ask You to bring to light the truth of how Oct. 7th was missed and who knew what when. We ask that any from Hamas or Hezbollah who infiltrated the IDF or any Israeli military group, be revealed and dealt with. We ask You to reveal anyone who infiltrated PM Netanyahu's government, that they be held accountable. Jesus, we don't always understand what You do and don't allow, but we stand on your faithfulness and trust You to deal with Israel's enemies and to bring every hostage home. We ask this in the name El Roi, The God Who Sees Everything.
- "Do not those who plot evil go astray?
But those who plan what
is good find love and faithfulness."
(Proverbs 14:22)

1. Netanyahu discusses urgency of ceasefire deal with Biden - i24 News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden early Thursday, discussing the urgency of a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
The pair touched base on the upcoming meetings in Egypt, which follow visits by Israel's delegation to Doha, Qatar, where much of Hamas's political leadership is based.
Biden also outlined the ongoing deployment of US military forces in the Middle East, meant to dissuade Iran or its proxies in launching an attack against Israel. Tehran has vowed to take revenge for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil, which it has blamed on Israel. Israel has not taken responsibility for the attack. (Read more)

2. IDF launches ‘extensive’ strikes against Hezbollah in 10 areas of southern Lebanon - Times of Israel
The IDF said Thursday that it carried out “extensive” airstrikes against Hezbollah terror group sites in southern Lebanon overnight, as the spiraling violence between the two sides showed no sign of losing momentum.
Attacks carried out by fighter jets targeted weapon depots, buildings used by Hezbollah and a rocket launcher, in 10 areas of southern Lebanon, according to an update from the military.
The widespread strikes come in response to a Hezbollah barrage of 50 rockets the previous day at the northern town of Katzrin that caused significant damage and wounded an Israeli man. (Read more)

4. Bullets Found in Bodies of Israeli Hostages Retrieved From Gaza - Algemeiner
Bullets were found in the bodies of the six Israeli hostages retrieved from Gaza this week, the Israeli military and the Hostage Families Forum campaign group said on Thursday.
The military told Reuters it retrieved another four bodies alongside its hostages, presumed to be Hamas terrorists, and that those bodies did not show signs of bullet wounds.
The comments came a day after US President Joe Biden pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the urgency of sealing a deal for a truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Palestinian terrorists there.
A total of 109 hostages are believed to remain in Gaza. About a third of them are thought to be dead, with the fate of the others unknown. (Read more)

5.Turkish Ambassador Says Iran Should Make Israel ‘Fall to Its Knees’ With Response to Hamas Chief Killing - Algemeiner
Iran’s plan to attack Israel in retaliation for the recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran should be harsh enough to force the Jewish state to “fall to its knees,” according to Turkey’s ambassador to Iran.
“Iran’s right to reply on this issue is reasonable,” Ambassador Hicabi Kırlangıç said in a new interview with Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency. “We cannot tell Iran to be patient — ‘do not respond harshly; do not respond militarily.’ Iran seems determined on this issue, but we cannot predict how it will react. Time will tell.”
Kırlangıç was responding to a question regarding Turkey’s stance on whether and how Iran should respond to the assassination of Haniyeh, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas’s political chief and overall leader. (Read more)

1. Trump Says That it is a “Massive Scandal” That Democrats Got Credit for 818,000 New Jobs That Never Actually Existed -The Economic Collapse Blog
Now they are telling us that 818,000 “jobs” that the U.S. economy supposedly “created” never actually existed at all. As you will see below, Donald Trump is calling this a “massive scandal” and he is right. Month after month, we are given employment numbers that are grossly overstated and everyone knows it. The grossly overstated numbers make the economy look far better than it actually is, and if Americans perceive that the economy is doing well they will be more likely to vote for the party that is already controlling the White House. Over the past few years, the difference between economic reality and what the government is actually reporting to us has become absolutely enormous, and many believe that this is being done for nefarious political reasons.
U.S. job growth during much of the past year was significantly weaker than previously reported, according to new data published Wednesday.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. (Read more) |
|
- Lord, we pray that You will bring wisdom and knowledge to Americans so that they will understand that they have been lied to. If there has been a “nefarious” purpose behind the lies about job growth, we ask that it be revealed in a way that can be seen and understood by all Americans. We bind the plans of this administration and declare truth and freedom to prevail.
- “The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.” (Proverbs 16: 1-5)

2. Jobless Claims Climb as Manufacturing Hiring Stalls – The Epoch Times
Unemployment claims rose last week, while US manufacturing hiring stalled, highlighting growing concerns about labor market stability.
Unemployment claims rose last week while hiring activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector slowed to a standstill last month, signaling potential strain in the labor market.
Initial filings for unemployment benefits rose by 4,000, to 232,000 for the week ended on Aug. 17, according to data released on Aug. 22 by the Department of Labor. The number was slightly above consensus estimatesof 230,000 and higher than the previous week’s upwardly revised level of 228,000. (Read more) |
|

- Lord, we pray for Your solution to the stall in manufacturing, which are normally good, high-paying jobs. We ask for an administration that listens to You and follows Your truth. We ask for a move of Your Holy Spirit to bring repentance to the nation, and especially for our leadership.

3. US Debt Has Soared to the Highest Level Ever Recorded – Prophecy Newswatch
Our entire economy is fueled by debt. In fact, if going into more debt was suddenly banned the U.S. economy would instantly hit a brick wall.
For the vast majority of us, our lifestyles simply cannot be funded by what we actually make. So we use debt to bridge the difference, and this has particularly been true during the cost of living crisis. Total household debt has now reached a grand total of 17.8 trillion dollars, and we continue to pile up more with no end in sight...
A quarterly report published this month by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on household credit and debt found that between the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2024, credit card debt surged 48.1% while household debt -- which includes mortgages and auto loans -- rose by 21.6%. In dollar terms, credit card debt rose from $770 billion in early 2021 to $1.14 trillion in the most recent quarter, while household debt increased from $14.64 trillion to $17.8 trillion in the same period.
I did not realize that credit card debt had risen by more than 48 percent since the first quarter of 2021.That is extremely alarming, because it indicates that millions upon millions of households are literally living on the edge of financial disaster. (Read more)

4. Big Brother Goes Digital:The Feds Race to Integrate Mobile IDs in America – Discern Report
The push to develop digital ID and expand its use in the US is receiving a boost as the country’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is launching a new project.
NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has teamed up with 15 large financial and state institutions, as well as tech companies, to research and develop a way of integrating Mobile Driver’s License (mDL) into financial services. But according to NIST, this is just the start and the initial focus of the program.
The agreement represents an effort to tie in yet more areas of people’s lives in their digital ID (“customer identification program requirements” is how NIST’s announcement describes the focus of this particular initiative). These schemes are often criticized by rights advocates for their potential to be used as mass surveillance tools. (Read more) |
|

- El Shaddai, Please squash this new project the government has started to implement mobile drivers licenses into financial services. This is just a way to surveil the population and create censorship on our backs. Lord, we have to deal with so much. Freedoms are falling away daily, let us live freely in the USA. Let your will be done across our great country in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.
- "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teachings, but have itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions." (2 Timothy 4:3)

5. Anti-Zionism is Just Antisemitism Misspelled – Israel 365 News
It’s not about Israel, it’s about the Jews.
In a London cafe, Jewish theatergoers arriving to take in “Fiddler on the Roof” were accosted by bigots waving PLO flags. In Los Angeles, a Holocaust museum and a synagogue were attacked by masked mobs in keffiyehs who claimed to be protesting against Israel. In Brooklyn, a Hasidic Jewish man was stabbed by a thug shouting, “Free Palestine.”
The old arguments about the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism are in the same sort of ruin as the Jewish communities on the borders of Gaza and Lebanon after Oct. 7.
The entire intellectual infrastructure for arguing that there is some distinction between opposing Jews and opposing a country for the Jews was destroyed not by concerted debate or the universal adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, but by the actions of the left.
Pro-Israel groups argued there was no difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Anti-Israel groups proved them right. What would the anti-Israel movement have to do to Jews to have its actions be officially acknowledged as antisemitism? There seems to be no red line.
There is little that the Nazis did that the so-called anti-Zionist movement hasn’t done, from promoting the mass murder of Jews to drawing up lists of Jewish writers to purge to attacking houses of worship and calling for the elimination of Jews from public life. Ivy League bosses who had policed Halloween costumes argued that calls for another Holocaust were all about the context. (Read more) |

- Lord God, Why are people in our world against Israel and the Jewish people ? Your word says bless Israel and you will be blessed, curse Israel and you will be cursed. We as Americans choose to bless Israel. Israel has been our ally for many years. We intend on being a friend and an ally for years to come. We pray you defend Israel and the Jewish nation, and you crush those who oppose her. We ask you to continue to bless Israel and her people, we stand with you. We continue to stand with Israel forever. In Jesus' mighty name Amen and Amen.

6. As Auto Industry Recovers, Car Prices Out of Reach for Many – The Epoch Times
The price of new cars rose by more than 40 percent between January 2021 and May 2024. Used car prices increased by 52 percent.
For most Americans, affording a car is far more difficult now than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s not getting much easier. The U.S. automotive market is returning to normalcy after years of supply chain issues, depressed demand for new cars, and low vehicle inventories.
However, a new or used car is often too expensive for Americans who are already battling inflation that’s making financial decisions more difficult than they were a few years ago. “Cars are not nearly as affordable today as they were five years ago,” Karl Brauer, an executive analyst at car search engine and price aggregation service iSeeCars.com, told The Epoch Times. (Read more) |
|
|
- Father God, The Auto Industry is out of control. Cars are not affordable to most Americans. We Americans need some relief in this area of our economy. Please help our economy correct itself to the abundant level of years past. Make car pricing more reasonable so more people can live the American Dream. We ask this in the precious name of our savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Amen.
- "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said "I will never leave you nor forsake you". (Hebrews 13:5)

1. Evangelicals for Harris: What you Need to Know – Prophecy Newswatch
A newly-minted political group hosted a recent "Zoom-style rally," as MSNBC put it, touting evangelical support for Harris. "Evangelicals for Harris has sought to offer a counter-narrative to evangelicals' overwhelming support for Trump," proclaimed The Tennessean, a progressive paper in Nashville.
The narrative, as it uncritically repeated it, is that "Harris' campaign has drawn out more direct support from those who may have sympathized with Democrat ideals but might not have gone out of their way to endorse Biden's former candidacy."
Is this true? Here are a few facts to know about "Evangelicals for Harris."
*The Evangelicals for Harris call attracted modest participation, but scant evidence of a growing movement.
*The Evangelicals for Harris rally continued a trend of pro-Harris Zoom meetings, segregated by identity groups. Read more
2. Stunning Harris Roller Coaster Reaches New Apex at Democratic Convention – The Hill
Doubts surrounded Vice President Harris two months ago when Democrats, stunned by President Biden’s shaky performance during a debate against former President Trump, started to panic about November.
Harris was clearly the most logical choice to replace an aging Biden at the top of the ticket. But her run as vice president had not always been sparkling, and many Democrats privately wondered if the party would be better off with an open competition at its convention to pick a successor to Biden.
“Let’s not forget, amid all the pomp and circumstance at the convention, that very few people thought she could actually do well,” said one Democratic bundler, recalling conversations just more than a month ago about the possibility of an open convention.
“No one I spoke to a month ago felt that way. People thought, well, at least she’s not old, and she’ll be able to put two sentences together,” the bundler said.
The doubts about Harris largely have been left in the trash can after a head spinning month that has seen her energize her party, narrow a polling gap with Trump — at times taking the lead— and renew hope in the party, as former first lady Michelle Obama put it from the convention stage this week.

Transform Iran equips pastors to mobilize kids for missions
|
|
One ministry is tapping into an overlooked people group in Iran, preparing ways to mobilize them for mission. “Children are dear to Jesus’s heart,” Transform Iran’s Lana Silk says. “He encouraged His disciples to make sure that the children would have direct access to Him, so we want to make sure we reach them, too.” Knowing that children hold the future of Iran, the Iranian regime seeks to mold and shape the Next Generation from a very young age. “The government knows the power of reaching children. Children are brainwashed in school having to shout ‘Death to America, death to Israel’ at the beginning of every school day,” Silk says. “They are surrounded by propaganda in their classrooms and taught Islamic propaganda through their lessons. What they need to be hearing is the voice of Jesus.”
This fall, Transform Iran is teaching 35 Iranian pastors how to reach the Next Generation for Christ. Silk says the ministry seeks to incorporate “all the same principles we do through adult ministry, where you train people effectively, qualify them, and release them to reach other people” into its children’s outreach. “How do we now apply that to children? That’s a different skill set, and we want to ensure our pastors are equipped to do that well,” she says. Get More Info and Support! Go here!
