America is Next:
US Truckers Mobilizing Convoy to Washington DC
|
|
“We’re done with the mandates, we’re done with the government telling us what to do, we will continue, and we will follow just like the rest of the world on these trucker protests,” says organizer of Convoy to DC 2022.
A fast-growing Facebook group called “Convoy to DC 2022” is calling upon American truckers to amass a convoy to head to Washington, DC to protest Joe Biden’s restrictive COVID measures.
Inspired by the massive 50,000-strong convoy of Canadian truckers surrounding Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the U.S. Freedom Convoy group, which has over 131,000 members as of writing, will reportedly start in California and traverse all the way to the nation’s capital.
“We are part of many large groups who believe in our founding fathers. We believe everyone has a voice. We support our freedom. Help us spread the word about this group and together we all can make it a better place. God Bless America,” the group states.
Brian Von D., the organizer of the Convoy to DC 2022 group, declared on Facebook last Thursday that “America is next” to experience a trucker-led revolution against COVID tyranny. (YourNews.com) Read more

- Father, we thank You for the courage and backbone of our truck-drivers, who are rising up with one voice, and together making their stand for freedom. Let us not be ones who are so wise and proud that we miss Your calling to set the people free. Strengthen us to stand with the truckers and support them in prayer, resources and provisions, crying out for justice, and not being double-minded. Bless every single truck and driver; may they be effective and successful in stopping the lockdown, mandate, and mask tyranny, in Jesus name.
- "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power," (1 Corinthians 2:4)

Schools across America implement BLM Week of Action that calls for 'disruption of Western nuclear family'
|
|
|
The week of action started on Monday in several schools from Washington state to Massachusetts, bringing to classrooms the activist-based curriculum that preaches controversial ideas. According to the week of action "starter kit" published on the Black Lives Matter at School website, the group has a list of four "national demands" that include funding "counselors not cops" and mandating "Black History and Ethnic Studies" in classrooms.
Additionally, the week of action curriculum centers itself on the 13 "Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles," which include concepts such as "Black Villages" and "Globalism."
"Black Villages is the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other," the starter kit reads. "Globalism is our ability to see how we are impacted or privileged within the Black global family that exists across the world in different regions."
"Most rational thinkers agree that public schools should not be home to political activism, from any side of the political divide, but public schools across America, from Boston to Seattle, have opened their doors for activist teachings from the divisive Black Lives Matter political organization," Parents Defending Education vice president of investigations Asra Nomani said in a statement.
Under the cover of a week of action, called ‘Black Lives Matter at School,’ children as young as five years old are being trained how to be political activists," Nomani continued. "What we are witnessing is state-sponsored political indoctrination, using coloring books, downloadable slide shows and contests to teach a next generation ‘social justice activism,’ in the program’s own words." "We need radicalization out of schools, especially as children struggle with learning loss from the pandemic, and reading, writing and arithmetic back in schools," Nomani added. (Fox News) Read more.

1. Trump releases statement in response to CNN prez Jeff Zucker’s resignation - DML News
Former President Donald Trump released a fiery statement on Wednesday, in response to the news that CNN president Jeff Zucker has resigned from the network.
Trump has repeatedly slammed CNN as “fake news.” In a series of undercover videos released by Project Veritas after the 2020 presidential election, Zucker was also exposed as instructing CNN staff on how to go after Trump.
In a surprise statement on Wednesday, Zucker wrote, “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today.”
Trump said in a statement in part: “Now is a chance to put Fake News in the backseat because there may not be anything more important than straightening out the horrendous LameStream Media in our Country, and in the case of CNN, throughout the World. Jeff Zucker is gone—congratulations to all!” (Read more)

2. ABC News announces suspension for Whoopi Goldberg following outrageous remarks - DML News
“The View” has forever gotten away with making ridiculous claims and sharing misinformation. But that has now changed, at least for the time being, as co-host Whoopi Goldberg was suspended following her controversial remarks.
“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,” ABC News president Kim Godwin said in a statement Tuesday evening. “While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.”
The outspoken black female went viral on Monday when she argued that the H.olocaust “isn’t about race”.
“What is it about?” asked co-host Joy Behar. “It’s about man’s inhumanity to man, that’s what it’s about,” Goldberg said. (Read more)
- Lord God, we recognize there are individuals in influential positions who have been given a platform that they choose to abuse sharing misinformation, gossip, and divisive rhetoric. Because Of this we pray for the gift of discerning of spirits to be given to your people during this time Lord to discern who to listen to and who to trust. Amen.
“Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” (Ezekiel 44:23)

3. Lawyer says recently released document on Hunter Biden- Ukraine only the tip of iceberg - Just The News
Kimberly Hermann, Chief Counsel for Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF), discusses a recently obtained document from the State Department showing that during the Ukraine-Trump impeachment, the Department ‘withheld a tremendous amount of information’ that would’ve shed a different light on Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine.
Hermann says that the State Department ‘actively and intentionally hid key documents from the Trump defense team, from Senate investigators’.
Commenting that this is ‘only one document’, and the ‘American people need to realize is that State Department is hiding these, they are doing it with the pure intent to mislead the American public.’ She says ‘it's got to stop and people have to be held accountable for this.’ (Read more)
- Lord God we pray that what is done in secret is made public for the world to see. We pray this especially as it pertains to the current Ukraine and Russia tensions.

Amen.

5. Georgia school district's promotion of CRT, officials' comments on White people prompt investigation request - Fox News
A state senator in Georgia is requesting an investigation into a county school official amid controversy surrounding her comments about White people and the district's indication that one of its classes utilized critical race theory (CRT).
Sent Monday, Republican Sen. Burt Jones' letter comes after video showed Dr. Tarece Johnson, the recently elected chair of Gwinnett County Board of Education, calling for an end to "anti-Black capitalism" and describing White people as "socialized racists."
Heritage Action, a conservative think tank, also obtained an audit syllabus promoting CRT for an AP Language and AP Research combination class within Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). It reads: "Students will bridge the skills from AP Language to AP Research, analyzing the value of using different lenses in social criticism (Critical Race Theory, Feminist, Marxist, Psychoanalytic) to aid their analysis across issues, and the class will discuss how these perspectives apply to the different methods used by research fields."
GCPS told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the syllabus was "written by one teacher who submitted it to College Board in 2017 as a means of providing evidence that the teacher understood the scope of the course. It was not the syllabus actually used for the class."
(Read more)
- Lord God, this situation clearly shows that this divisive CRT is alive and well in our schools. We pray for every child, every parent, and every family that is dealing with this in their schools that you would give them discernment and especially visit the kids. Minister to the children. Give them dreams and visions. And finally give them radical encounters of you Lord God that they will not be swayed by the culture of this world but be radically transformed by you Lord God. Amen.

6. Arizona Witness Testified on “Baskets of Faxed Ballots” - The Gateway Pundit
Last Monday the Arizona Senate reconvened. During a Senate session, the discussion turned to the UOCAVA voters — the voters covered under the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act. These are the men and women who are serving their country in the military and send in a mail-in vote from where they are stationed outside the country.
The act officially covers:
- members of the United States Uniformed Services and merchant marine;
- their family members; and
- United States citizens residing outside the United States.
During the hearing, Paul Harris, a Maricopa resident and veteran in corporate executive management, spoke to the committee. Harris was a manager during the audit of the Maricopa County audit of the 2020 election ballots. This testimony by Paul Harris is very similar to what we witnessed in Michigan and Georgia.

In Jesus name amen.

7. White House orders release of Pence records to Jan. 6 committee - The Hill
The Biden administration has ordered the National Archives to turn over records from former Vice President Mike Pence despite objections from former President Trump.
A Tuesday letter from White House counsel Dana Remus directed the agency to begin releasing the documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
“Many of the records as to which the former President has made a claim of privilege in this set of documents, however, were communications concerning the former Vice President’s responsibilities as President of the Senate in certifying the vote of presidential electors on January 6, 2021,” Remus wrote.
Although vice presidential records do qualify for some public records exemptions that restrict access, “they are not subject to claims of the presidential communications privilege,” she wrote. The letter from Remus follows a Jan. 18 letter from Trump seeking to block the release of more than 100 of the documents. (Read more)

8. Congress claims sovereign immunity prevents Capitol Police from sharing January 6 emails and videos - Just The News
Judicial Watch is challenging an attempt by the U.S Capitol Police to block the watchdog organization's federal lawsuit to gain access to videos and emails related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Congress, via the police department, is arguing that the videos and emails being sought are not matters of public record and that there is no public interest in their release. Furthermore, the body is claiming that sovereign immunity prevents citizens from suing for their release.
The suit was filed by Judicial Watch under the common law right of access after the Capitol Police refused to provide requested records in response to the group's initial request dating back to January 2021. (Read more)

We break the power of the evil one in all matters related to the events of January 6th now, in Jesus name, amen!
- "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." (Mark 4:22)

Stupidocrisy: It's Just Not Enough
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022
|
|
|
It’s not enough that a virus from a Wuhan, China lab killed a significant portion of the world’s population. Or that the United States government, through COVID Czar Dr. Anthony Fauci, actually helped fund gain of function for a coronavirus bioweapon with the Communist Chinese. It’s not enough that jack-boot policies were employed to shut down not only the US economy, but that of the world, over this COVID disease from China. It’s not enough that China was central to bribery schemes and influence peddling of politicians and corporate executives. It’s not enough that the Bidens—Joe, brother James, and son Hunter–were named in Chinese scandals long before Joe became president. No, it’s just not enough.
Let us remember that leading up to the 2020 election, the news media and deep state were caught red-handed suppressing information that democrat Joe Biden was totally compromised by communist China and Russia through his dealings to enrich his family with son Hunter as a conduit. The facts surrounding this corruption come from at least four sources: 1) Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee and the Senate Committee on Finance investigation; 2) Hunter Biden’s laptop; 3) Hunter Biden’s former business partner Bevan Cooney, who is serving time for the very business dealings Hunter and he did; and 4) Former business partner Tony Bobulinski’s emails and eyewitness accounts singling out Joe Biden as the godfather of the Jimmy-Joe-Hunter organized crime ring. It’s just not enough. (Read more)

LifeSiteNews Offers Petition to Support the Canadian Truckers!
|
|
|
|
Canadian truckers are fighting back against Justin Trudeau's Covid overreach and medical tyranny, and are giving people across the country -- and the world -- a new voice for freedom!
These truckers, like millions of other Canadians, have been subjected to unprecedented medical coercion, manipulation, and intimidation on behalf of Trudeau's liberal government, and, with their livelihoods on the line, they have risen to meet the moment by bringing their cause directly to Ottawa in the form of a massive Freedom Convoy!
But, unsurprisingly, they are still being met with resistance by extreme politicians who wish to exercise complete control over these truckers' -- and all Canadians' -- medical autonomy, which is why we're asking you to show your support for these brave, hardworking men and women by adding your name and your voice to their cause.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking him to back off these truckers, change course in his approach to Covid, and support the medical autonomy of the truckers and all working Canadians going forward.

Biden blocked the first Black woman from the Supreme Court

President Biden wants credit for nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. But here is the shameful irony: As a senator, Biden warned President George W. Bush that if he nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, he would filibuster and kill her nomination.
The story begins in 2003, when Bush nominated Judge Janice Rogers Brown to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is considered the country’s second-most important court, and has produced more Supreme Court justices than any other federal court. Brown was immediately hailed as a potential Supreme Court nominee. She was highly qualified, having served for seven years as an associate justice of the California Supreme Court — the first Black woman to do so. . .
Biden and his fellow Democrats filibustered her nomination, along with several other Bush circuit court nominees, all of whom had majority support in the Senate. Columnist Robert Novak called it “the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants.” Democrats argued that she was out of the legal mainstream, but Republicans responded that she had written more majority opinions than any other justice on the California Supreme Court — and she was reelected with 76 percent of the vote, the highest percentage of all the justices on the ballot.
When Democrats derailed her nomination, Bush renominated her in 2005. Brown was eventually confirmed by a vote of 56 to 43 — after Democrats released her and several other Bush nominees in exchange for Republican agreement not to eliminate the filibuster for judicial nominations. Biden voted a second time against her nomination. He never explained why, if Brown was so radical, Democrats let her through but killed 10 other Bush nominees.

- Father God, we know that Your beloved Son had some choice words for hypocrites. We pray earnestly, Father, that only the person of Your choosing replace Justice Breyer, regardless of their gender or outward appearance. May this next Supreme Court Judge have a heart and mind to follow after You, judging wisely, fairly and righteously. In Jesus mighty name!

BREAKING!
Biden WITHDRAWS his Radical FCC Nominee!
|
|
|
|
( Note:The following is a message we have received from the American Family Association)
|
|
|
Dear Friends,
In today’s political environment, victories are rare in Washington, D.C., but with your recent help, we have good news to share. An attack against religious free speech on radio, television, cable, and satellite has been averted.
In late 2021, President Biden nominated the radical Gigi Sohn to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). A former FCC official indicated, “Her public animus towards mainstream conservative outlets renders her unfit to serve as a regulator over the communications industry,” and, “the White House praised Sohn when announcing her nomination in October...noting she would be the first openly LGBTIQ+ FCC commissioner.”
AFA issued an alert asking supporters to contact and urge their senators to stop the nomination. With the help of faithful AFA supporters contacting their senators, Sohn’s nomination never came up for a vote, causing her nomination to expire on the 2021 calendar. However, President Biden renominated Sohn again in January, and her nomination was scheduled to come before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee today, February 2. The good news is that Gigi Sohn’s nomination was pulled due to her radical views and alleged scandalous ties to a broadcasting lawsuit.
We are grateful for all the AFA supporters who contacted their senators and who financially support the ministry of AFA.
AFA is a non-profit ministry dedicated to transforming culture in ways that reflect biblical values. Will you consider making a one-time or recurring donation to AFA to help us continue the battle for righteousness for His glory?

- Father God, we shout HALLELUJAH at news of this GOOD REPORT today!
Thank you, O Lord, that Biden stepped down from endorsing Gigi Sohn for FCC
Commissioner, as the one who will hold thsi post will have great authority to preserve -- or to block -- our freedom of communication. We ask that the next nominee would be the person of Your choosing, amen.

Ukraine’s Jewish community in danger as Russian troops, supplies mass at border
|
|
|
|
A possibly imminent invasion by Russian troops into Ukrainian territory has the world on edge as leaders and experts try to guess Russian President Vladimir Putin’s next steps and prevent what could become the largest military action in Europe since World War II. For Israel, the focus and concern lies with Ukraine’s Jewish community in its Donbas region, where Jews have lived relatively free and safe. Now, their lives could be in mortal danger as they will be caught in the crossfire if war breaks out between Ukraine and Russia.
The Israeli government last Sunday convened a number of top officials to discuss contingency plans on the immediate absorption of Ukrainian Jews should the urgent need arise. Jewish organizations estimate that some 75,000 Ukrainians living in the eastern part of the country—many of them elderly—are eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, which allows immigration to those who have one Jewish grandparent.

‘Freedom Convoy’ Truckers Pause to Say the Lord’s Prayer Amid Protest
|
|
Vowing to remain stationed at the U.S.-Canada border, truckers with the so-called “Freedom Convoy” were captured on video Monday reciting the Lord’s Prayer as they gathered inside a nearby restaurant.The prayer came amid tension between Canadian law enforcement officers and truck drivers protesting stringent government mandates requiring unvaccinated truckers commit to two weeks of isolation as well as produce negative COVID-19 tests before being allowed to re-enter Canada. Similar mandates have been put in place by President Joe Biden.
Truckers agreed to open up one lane of traffic, allowing residents, school bus drivers, and emergency personnel to pass through, according to Rebel News, whose reporters are on the ground in Coutts, Alberta, at the border. Alberta Premier Jason Kennedy condemned the truckers, tweeting Monday that their protest “is causing significant inconvenience for lawful motorists and could dangerously impede movement of emergency service vehicles.” He asserted the truckers are in violation of the province’s Critical Infrastructure Defense Act. As such, violators can be subject to a minimum fine of $1,000 and a maximum of $25,000, plus up to six months in jail and a fine of $10,000 to $200,000 for corporations who run afoul of the legislation, according to CTV News.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating, condemned the “Freedom Convoy” as an unacceptable protest whose supporters are touting “hateful rhetoric” and espousing “violence toward fellow citizens.” It’s worth noting that, so far, there has been no reported violence linked to the convoy.

O I Want to See Him
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words and Music: Rufus Cornelius
Scripture: When He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2
Lyrics:
As I journey thro’ the land,
Singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary—
To the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul
From without, within;
But my Lord leads me on,
Thro’ Him I must win.
Refrain
O I want to see Him,
Look upon His face,
There to sing forever
Of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory
Let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last,
Ever to rejoice.
Refrain
When in service for my Lord
Dark may be the night,
But I’ll cling more close to Him,
He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul,
Turn my tho’ts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead,
Leads whate’er betide.
Refrain
When in valleys low I look
Tow’rd the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there,
Leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched
Tow’rd the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see,
As I onward go.
Refrain
When before me billows rise
From the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark;
He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on
Thro’ this world below;
He’s a real friend to me,
O I love Him so.
Refrain
