Global Takedown of America Shifts into High Gear
|
|
We are living in the last days of the American empire. The No. 1 weapon of the empire -- the US dollar -- has been targeted for termination by most of the other powerful nations across the planet, including China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Russia.
It turns out that no one likes to be hit with weaponization of the currency, and with the US government regime under Biden, the bullying tactics of the American empire are convincing other nations to abandon the dollar and build their own systems for international financial settlement.
That's why next month -- August, 2023 -- BRICS nations are meeting and announcing what is reported to be a gold-backed cryptocurrency.
This cryptocurrency will reportedly be decentralized, meaning that no nation can alter its ledger or print more coins (i.e. money) out of thin air. The fact that this BRICS-based ledger cannot be counterfeited will give it intrinsic value that will instantly make it a better store of value than the US dollar (which is losing purchasing power by the day). We can expect a rapid adoption of the BRICS cryptocurrency system by the nations of the world. And when those nations no longer need dollars to carry out transactions with other nations, they will dump the dollar.
Since they no longer need dollars, they also don't need dollar-denominated debt instruments. This means international holders of US treasuries will offload them, causing a supply glut of treasury debt instruments on the open market, making it far more expensive for the U.S. Treasury to try to auction new debt instruments that provide funding for the government's debt habit.
And just like that, America's annual cost of servicing its own national debt will skyrocket into multiple trillions of dollars. (NewsTarget) Read more here.

- Abba, we confess we don't know how to stop the forces, including our own government, that are coming against the American economy, that are working to destroy the value of our dollar. We know that we are in a totally "but God" circumstance, so we ask you to intervene as we fast, pray and seek your face. Let us hear your voice as we listen for your direction in how to pray to stop the enemy from bringing our nation down. Father God, we ask you to guide our prayers as we pull down strongholds, not only in our country but across the world, and establish your kingdom here on earth. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus! AMEN

and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)

Central Banks Plan to Introduce CBDC Microchip Implants Warns Top Economist
|
|
A well-known German economist has revealed that central banks around the world are planning to introduce central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in the form of microchips implanted under the skin. This technology will enable complete government control over personal finances of its citizens. "I was taught by a central banker [that] the CBDCs look like a small grain of rice that they want to put under your skin," said Richard Werner in an interview with podcaster Ivor Cummins. Werner is known for developing the now commonly used bank practice of quantitative easing.
CBDCs, in comparison to other forms of digital currency used at present, demand that individuals open bank accounts directly with central banks such as the Federal Reserve, granting governments control over citizens' access to money.
"You have to think of CDBCs as a control system [or a permit system], not a currency," Werner said, adding that people's money "would no longer be truly their own." (Related: Expert warns CBDCs could lead economies to a dark path – where governments dictate what you can purchase. (News Target) Read more here.

- Abba, your words in the book of Revelation are becoming our reality, it says, "no one could buy or sell anything without the mark". Father God, the financial institutions that are under the influence of the enemy of our souls, Satan, are seeking to enslave us through buying and selling, and we say NO to this concept.
Lord, you don't lose so we don't lose. We ask for supernatural faith to pray against and pull down this demonic stronghold in the financial world. We ask for Holy Spirit to establish boundaries beyond which the enemy cannot gain control to bring your children back into bondage. Jesus you died to give us freedom and we stand ready to defend every inch of that ground. We decree and declare that you have all power and authority in heaven and on earth, and you gave it to us to establish and defend your kingdom here. We ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, the Host of Heaven's Armies.

ALERT: The World Health Organization Is Pushing the Gender Mutilation of Kids on a Global Scale
|
|
The WHO guidelines are expected to take these developments head on. The 'guideline development group' chosen by the WHO staff is comprised entirely of 'transgender' activists and medical providers. All 14 members of the group are already invested in expanding access to multi-billion dollar 'transgender' medical protocols, including for minor children.
In her essential 2012 book "The Global Sexual Revolution: Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom," the German sociologist Gabrielle Kuby lays out, in painstaking detail, how LGBT activists managed to mainstream so many fundamentally radical ideas: by infiltrating international institutions.
By "infiltrating" she doesn't mean some vast conspiracy—although I think it could be accurately described as such. What she means is that activists running NGOs have lobbied bodies such as the European Union and the United Nations for decades; that they make up much of the bureaucracy; that when any question of substance is discussed, they are present in force with briefcases filled with pseudo-scientific studies and carefully worded demands.
That, of course, is still happening now, and the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-FAM) has been exposing and stymying their efforts since 1997 C-FAM's most recent report, for example, highlights the fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) is working on new medical protocols on "transgender" medical interventions – but not because they plan to follow the U.K., Scandinavia, and other jurisdictions in giving these so-called treatments a second look.
As C-FAM reports, this is being done "to fight the rapid spread of bans and restrictions on ‘transgender surgeries and drugs, especially for children," and will be oriented toward "increasing access and utilization of quality and respectful health services by trans and gender diverse people." Key goals of the WHO are mainstreaming "gender-affirming care" (by which they mean sex change surgeries and cross-sex hormones), "health workers education and training" (by which they mean the indoctrination of medical professionals), and the "legal recognition of self-determined gender identity" (by which they mean making it illegal to question gender ideology and making it mandatory to support these medical interventions on pain of punishment).

- Abba, we know how you love children, your word says, "suffer the little ones to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven". We ask you to intervene in the demonic plans of the World Health Organization to create guidelines for "transgender" medical protocols for minor children. Jesus, we ask you to raise up a mighty army of parents, grandparents, all who know how evil this plan is, to speak truth to our Senators, Congressmen, and the Biden regime.
Father God, put such a fire in our hearts and spirits that a great cry will go out demanding this madness be stopped, that the WHO not be allowed to interfere in medical decisions concerning our children, that strict guidelines be created protecting underaged children from any type of protocols to alter how you created them. Lord, we ask you to speak to and minister to parents whose minds and hearts have been so blinded that they believe their children will be helped by such horrific procedures. We ask that you prepare the way for our prayers to deny the WHO access to any medical decisions in our nation, period! We ask this in the name, Jehovah Rapha, God our healer. AMEN

1. Levin to set up commission of inquiry into alleged illicit police use of spyware - Times of Israel
Justice Minister Yariv Levin announced Thursday that he will set up an official commission of inquiry to probe the alleged illicit use of cyber-surveillance tools and spyware by law enforcement bodies against citizens.
The inquiry will include a probe into the deployment by police of the powerful, Israeli-made Pegasus tool, which enables access to cell phones, including covertly listening in on conversations.
Levin said he will seek the government’s approval to give the commission investigative powers “to review the conduct of the police, the State Attorney’s Office and their supervisory systems, in all matters relating to the procurement, monitoring and collection of information using cybernetics tools against citizens and office holders,” his office said in a press announcement Thursday.

2. 'Night of Resistance': Bonfires on Ayalon Highway, confrontations with police - Israel National News
Two days after what they referred to as "the Day of Disruption, the Kaplan protest group, which is leading the protests against the government's judicial reform plan, launched the "Night of Resistance" to protest legislation that would limit the use of the judicial doctrine of reasonableness.
The main demonstration was once again held in Tel Aviv, where protesters repeatedly clashed with police on Ayalon Highway as they tried to block the road.
Some of the protesters took to the road while lighting bonfires and trying to create roadblocks. The police used mounted officers and a water cannon to evacuate them. (Read more)

4. Israeli scientists believe experiments reversing aging in fish could benefit humans - Times of Israel
A fish originating from Mozambique and Zimbabwe that lives no more than six months is helping Israeli researchers devise ways to enhance human health, as people live increasingly longer.
By genetically manipulating turquoise killifish, Dr. Itamar Harel and his colleagues at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Silberman Institute of Life Science are gaining insights into how to restore metabolic health in vertebrates (organisms with a backbone or spinal column) so they can remain healthier as they age. The HU group published a related study in the peer-reviewed Developmental Cell publication in June.
Harel is hopeful that his tweaking of energy biosynthesis on the cellular level in killifish and other vertebrates in the lab could lead to drug therapies — especially for the benefit of older humans, who tend to suffer from diseases often stemming from the body’s diminished ability to properly respond to nutrient availability on the cellular level.

5. Former Barcelona Mayor Facing Court Investigation Over Decision to Sever Israel Ties - Algemeiner
The former mayor of Barcelona is now the subject of a court investigation over her decision last February to unilaterally sever the Spanish city’s ties with Israel, citing the Jewish state’s alleged “apartheid” policies towards the Palestinians as the reason.
A legal complaint filed against Ada Colau by the pro-Israel advocacy organization ACOM is being handled by Barcelona’s investigating court number five, the Spanish daily El Pais reported on Wednesday.
The complaint charges that Colau exceeded her powers when she told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an open letter that the Barcelona municipality was “temporarily suspending” its twinning agreement with Tel Aviv, along with all other connections with Israel, in protest at what she called the “systematic violation of the people of Palestine’s human rights.” (Read more)

6. Was there just a Jihad terror attack in North Dakota? - World Israel News
Last Friday afternoon, police in Fargo, North Dakota, responded to a report of a car crash at 9th Avenue South and 25th Street South. Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said it was a “routine traffic accident,” but what happened when they arrived on the scene was anything but routine.
A Fargo resident named Mohamad Barakat, 37, opened fire on the officers, killing one and injuring three others. Zibolski said that Barakat attacked the officers “for no known reason,” and authorities have as yet offered no hints as to the shooter’s motive. One of the most obvious possibilities, however, is being steadfastly ignored, as one might expect given today’s media narrative.
. . . the possibility that this was a jihad terror attack in Fargo, North Dakota, cannot be dismissed out of hand, even as authorities appear disinclined even to consider it as a possibility. The FBI and the entire Biden regime have never given any indication that they’re aware that the global jihad continues. Unfortunately, it does. (Read more)

1. American Patriot Activist Kirstyn Niemela Stands as a Striking Example of Political Persecution in Post Jan 6 America – The Gateway Pundit
Kirstyn Niemela, who entered the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, peacefully with the crowd and did not engage in any violence, was sentenced to 11 months in prison on June 8 in the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, by Judge Christopher R. Cooper.
Niemela was charged with: (1) Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds, (2)Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds, (3) Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building, (4) Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building.
As Niemela prepares to report to prison on July 25th, 2023, she vows to continue her fight for the truth. She has taken it upon herself to raise public awareness about her ordeal, the experiences of her fellow January 6th defendants, and the alleged deceit perpetrated on the public. She insists that her conviction is the result of a corrupt system hell-bent on suppressing the voices of those daring to speak out against governmental abuses.
Her experiences not only demonstrate the very real risks faced by those brave enough to oppose the status quo but also the systemic corruption that has seemingly permeated the very foundations of the American judiciary.

We pray that her voice will be heard far and wide and that the truths she points out will take hold and bring to accountability those who have abused their power for political gain. We speak protection over her as she serves her underserved time in prison. We decree and declare a release for all such prisoners from January 6th and say it will never happen again. Thank You, Lord.

2. You Can’t Make This up: House Democrats Vote to Censor RFK Jr During Hearing on Censorship – The Gateway Pundit
House Democrats have voted to censor and remove presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a hearing that was ironically convened to discuss censorship issues.
The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on Thursday, July 20, 2023. The hearing will examine the federal government’s role in censoring Americans, the Missouri v. Biden case, and Big Tech’s collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech.
During the hearing, Deborah Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) put forward a motion to censor Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to censor him to speak about censorship. (Read more)

- How ironic, Dear Lord, for the timing of this testimony! We come against this attempt to misrepresent and demonize the statements from Mr. Kennedy and all others who have been treated in like manner. May Your strong Spirit of Truth prevail throughout this subcommittee hearing and demolish the lies that are so prevalent. Hallelujah for Your victory.

3. Orwellian France: Parliament Approves Legislation Opening Doors to Mass Surveillance, Making it Easier for Authorities to Spy on Electronic Devices – The Gateway Pundit
In an Orwellian turn of events, France is introducing legislation poised to usher in an era of mass surveillance of its population. The administration of former Rothschild banker and globalist poster boy Emmanuel Macron seems the testing ground for so many nefarious ideas in the Western societies.
After he managed to ‘reform’ the pensions changing the retirement age without a vote in Parliament, and withstanding weeks of hard protests, it seemed like it was just a matter of time until even more dystopian policies were introduced. Well, there you go.
“French lawmakers on Tuesday adopted a sweeping justice reform bill that includes a provision to allow law enforcement agents to remotely tap into the cameras, microphones and location services of phones and other internet-connected devices of some suspected criminals.
The measure plainly stipulates that the procedure can be executed ‘without the knowledge or consent of its owner or possessor’ but is limited to suspects involved in terrorism, organized crime and other illegal activities punishable by five or more years in prison.” (Read more)

4. Tech Companies Have Already Laid off 219,000 Workers in 2023. But Don’t Worry, Because Biden Says the Economy is Fine – The Economic Collapse Blog
If you want to believe the propaganda that is coming from the Biden administration, you probably won’t want to read this article. Joe Biden insists that “Bidenomics” is working and that a wonderful new era of peace and prosperity is just around the corner. Meanwhile, inflation is out of control, homelessness is rising to very frightening levels, the commercial real estate market is imploding, and large companies are conducting mass layoffs all over America. In fact, tech companies have already laid off more workers in 2023 than they did all of last year
…
More than 219,000 global technology-sector employees have been laid off since the start of 2023, according to data compiled by the website Layoffs. That number has gone up more than eightfold since mid-January, the website noted. (Read more)

- Dear LORD, our current leader, Mr. Biden, says the economy is fine. Maybe for the elites with all the financial security they enjoy, however WE THE PEOPLE are living the real disaster taking place. We need you to please get us through this inflation, loss of jobs, and LORD help us to help the homeless in this country. Send YOUR Angels to destroy the devourer who comes to steal, kill, and destroy America. Guide the enemy to turn on themselves in a godless frenzy. AMEN & AMEN

5. Lab Grown Beef and Chicken Will Soon Be in Your Local Grocery Store – The Economic Collapse Blog
Would you like to eat a slab of “beef” or “chicken” that has been artificially “grown” inside a giant vat filled with disgusting goo? Personally, I will never eat any “beef” or “chicken” that scientists have cooked up in a lab somewhere. . . I am sure that many of you feel the same. But it is coming anyway. In fact, CNN is reporting
that Americans will be able to try lab-grown chicken “soon”… Soon, Americans are going to be able to try chicken that comes directly from chicken cells rather than, well, a chicken.
On Wednesday, the USDA gave Upside Foods and Good Meat the green light to start producing and selling their lab-grown, or cultivated, chicken products in the United States. The USDA really does a bang up job of protecting us, don’t they? I can only imagine the new dangers that this sort of “meat” will bring to our population. (Read more)

6. Dr. McCullough: Task Force Formed to Address mRNA Vaccines in the Food Supply – ZeroHedge
With intensifying concerns of mRNA vaccines being introduced into the nation’s cattle supply, The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) has formed task forces to develop an assessment of the issue as it relates to mRNA vaccines in our food.
While the science around these gene therapies is being extensively researched, Dr. Peter McCullough continues to sound the alarm of mRNA injections whether in the form of human vaccination, or through our food supply.
The alarming scientific study coming from the Chinese researchers Quan Zhang et al. titled: “An oral vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA-bovine milk-derived exosomes induces a neutralizing antibody response in vivo.” sparked Dr. McCullough to dig deeper into this topic.
As someone who treats myocarditis at a rate 10x what he saw prior to the mRNA injection rollout in 2021, Dr. McCullough’s warnings about this bioweapon should be listened to carefully:
mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on, and resistance to, mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.”
Indeed, many more reports have surfaced recently of farmers in the USA and EU using mRNA-based vaccines on their livestock to “help protect against disease.” (Read more)
|
|
- GOD In Heaven, Thank you that Dr. McCullough will be on a task force for mRNA as it relates to our food supply. Give him wisdom and knowledge about how to proceed with this study. Send boldness his way so that he may persevere with the task that has been set before him. Thank you for TRUTH filled Doctors. AMEN & AMEN.

7. Senator Rand Paul declared Wednesday that the U.S. cannot afford to keep sending money and ammo to Ukraine in order to fight a war with Russia, because the country has run out of both. - ZeroHedge
Appearing on Fox Business, Paul responded to the almost weekly announcement now that the Biden administration is sending another billion dollars in aid to Ukraine.
“From a fiscal conservative perspective, it makes no sense to borrow money from China to send it to Ukraine,” Paul urged, adding “It’s not like we’re sending them surplus funds. It’s like, ‘Oh, we have surplus ammo around.’”
“We’re actually out of ammo now, we’re out of money. And so, there’s no real sense in continuing to do this,” Paul further emphasised.
Biden himself admitted recently that the reason he is sending horrific cluster bombs to Ukraine is that “we’ve run out of ammunition.” (Read more)

|
- Lord God, Biden’s revelation [to the world!] that the US stockpile of ammo is depleted was extremely unwise. We ask You to cause his slip of the tongue to work for good in this grievous situation. Send Your angels to shut Biden’s mouth whenever he is about to compromise the safety of the US. Please make a way where there seems to be no way to increase the munitions and equipment needed to adequately defend and protect our nation.
Lord, we ask You to set the limits, through our Congress, for donations of war materials and financing to the Ukraine. May restoring our own economy and protecting the US take precedence and preclude our borrowing even more money from China. We also plead that no nuclear weapons or cluster bombs be used anywhere by any nation. Almighty God, we pray for an end to the Russian/Ukrainian war; we know that You have the solution and the timing. Have mercy!!! May millions of souls be saved in both nations. We ask for a huge harvest for Yeshua as You redeem this horrendous tragedy.
Bless Sen. Rand Paul and all in government who uphold our Constitution, as they work for the good of America. May they continue the good fight!
- "Ask it of Me, and I will certainly give the nations as Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth as Your possession. …. Now then, you kings, use insight; let yourselves be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling.

8. The War in Ukraine is an Undeniable Disaster for the Biden Regime – Discern Report
[Editor's note: this is a gruesome report to read. Please feel free to skip the article and go directly to our prayer, should you wish to do so. Thank you.]
Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that the U.S. is going to be involved in the war in Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and our leaders just keep pouring billions upon billions of dollars into the conflict. But the truth is that the war is not going very well for Ukraine. After sending them lots of shiny new vehicles and enormous mountains of military equipment in recent months, U.S. officials pressured the Ukrainians to launch an ill-advised “counter-offensive” so that the public could see that some “progress” was being made.
Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, the Russian defensive positions are extremely well prepared at this stage, and thousands upon thousands of young Ukrainians have been needlessly slaughtered.
Sky News international correspondent John Sparks spoke to an Irish volunteer, Rhys Byrne, who has been fighting on the frontline in the east of Ukraine for 17 months and is now leaving Ukraine “due to witnessing atrocities,” Sparks reports. Byrne called the fighting he witnessed “horrific.”
“On ‘Zero Line’ it’s horror. It’s horror. There is just a genocide. It’s slaughter”, says Rhys Byrne, codename ‘Rambo’, a 28-year-old from Dublin. Byrne fought for the 59th brigade in the Ukrainian territorial army, where he operated a heavy machine gun, Sparks reports.
“There are dead people everywhere. Russians dead. Ukrainian people dead…. the biggest problem we get when we’re going into trenches is stepping over all the dead bodies that are already there from the last people [who] went in – that kind of stuff really haunts you.” (Read more)

- Lord God Almighty, only You can put an end to this horror. Visit Putin and Zelensky and their immediate staffs with visions and dreams, even Your handwriting literally on their walls. We earnestly pray for You to turn the tide and cause the war to stop--whatever You want and need to do, Lord, in Your perfect timing. We ask Your forgiveness for those who do not know what they are doing and for those who do and don’t care—You are well able to touch their bodies, souls, and spirits and turn their hearts to Your will or to make it impossible for them to lead and orchestrate wars should they not not submit. In the name of King Yeshua we pray, Amen!!!
- "In a dream, a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, While they slumber in their beds, Then He opens the ears of people, And horrifies them with warnings, So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct, And keep a man from pride" (Job 33:15-17)

Seeing Justice Prevail
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 20, 2023
As the recent Supreme Court session has come to an end, Americans are seeing a gradual return to the rule of law. Courts are beginning to strike down the overreaching mandates used by unelected administrative agencies during COVID. Recent decisions at the District Court level against government agencies compelling, coercing or even partnering with big business to censor protected free speech are trending toward constructionist interpretations of the Constitution. Indeed, state courts upholding the rights of parents in what amounts to sexual coercive decisions by school administrators and profit-mongering health systems to encourage sexual mutilation of minor children are encouraging.
The legal process is slow and people are harmed while its glacier pace proceeds. Notwithstanding, judicial appointments during the Donald Trump administration are making a difference. While, the Supreme Court sat on the sidelines in the 2020 Presidential Election dispute (largely because states certified their own elections), the SCOTUS has restored the rule of law and common sense to several areas, rolling back the huge overstep on controlling our lives by what is called administrative law—the juggernaut of unelected government agencies determining how law is to be applied and enforced without following the intent of the law.

Senate Judiciary OKs Bill on Binding Supreme Court Ethics Code
|
|
|
The Supreme Court would have to abide by stronger ethics standards under legislation approved on Thursday by the Democrat-led Senate Judiciary Committee, a response to recent revelations about donor-funded trips by justices. The bill faced united opposition from Republicans, who said it could “destroy” the court.
The legislation has little chance to make it through the full Senate.
The panel voted along party lines to set ethics rules for the court and a process to enforce them, including new standards for transparency around recusals, gifts and potential conflicts of interest. Democrats first pushed the legislation after reports earlier this year that Justice Clarence Thomas participated in luxury vacations and a real estate deal with a top GOP donor — and after Chief Justice John Roberts declined to testify before the committee about the ethics of the court.
The ethics legislation has little chance of passing the Senate — it would need at least nine GOP votes, and Republicans have strongly opposed it — or the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. But Democrats say the spate of revelations means that enforceable standards on the court are necessary.
Republicans charged that the legislation is more about Democratic opposition to the court’s decisions than its ethics. “It's about harassing and intimidating the Supreme Court,” said Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a senior GOP member of the panel. (Read more here)

- Lord God, this move by the Democratically controlled Senate Judiciary Committee is clearly an act of revenge for the amazing work that our Supreme Court
has achieved in this last session. We ask for Your hand of protection to rest upon each of the nine justices of the Court in the days ahead, and we thank You
that this bill will not be passed by the full Senate. We offer this prayer in Your mighty name, amen and amen!
- [That the Supreme Court be strengthened in the work they have been called to do.]
"In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate." (Isaiah 28:6)

SAFE Act Explosion: 72% of Red States Now Protect Minors from Gender Transition Procedures
|
|
|
As the 2023 state legislative season winds toward a conclusion, it’s time to analyze whether state efforts to protect minors from gender transition procedures were successful. The answer is a hearty “yes.”
Before this year, only four states had passed legislation prohibiting gender transition procedures on minors, which include irreversible removal of healthy organs and permanent sterilization through cross-sex hormones. As of Tuesday, when the Louisiana legislature enacted protections over the governor’s veto, 21 states have protections (one state improved on previously enacted language). Nearly three-quarters (72%) of Republican-controlled state legislatures have passed legislation protecting minors from gender reassignment procedures, and 18 out of 29 (62%) of Republican-controlled legislatures have passed a law this year.
That number could grow. There is still time for the Ohio Senate (in session until December 31) to pass HB 68, or for the North Carolina legislature (in session until July 28) to override the governor’s veto of HB 808. However, now that 35 out of 50 states have concluded their legislative sessions, there is enough data to help us fill in the picture of how successful state legislatures have been.

- Lord God, in our Third Top Story above, we have reported that the globalists are moving swiftly to impose transgender laws in every nation on the earth. And in the face of this report, we say: BUT GOD! We thank YOU for the 21 states that have already passed laws in our nation that FORBID the authorization of transgender surgeries, and we lift up the remaining two states that may yet pass these laws this year. THANK YOU, O Lord, that the American people are working to protect our children from these hideous procedures. In Your Name, amen and amen.

Last week, we reported on newly released emails regarding Hunter Biden’s “ultimate purpose” for serving on the board of Burisma, a controversial Ukrainian energy company.
That purpose, as a top Burisma executive explained to Hunter and his business associates, was to “close down any cases/pursuits” (investigations) into Burisma’s founder and president.
Today, Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) released the FBI document, known as a FD-1023 form, that the Bureau has stubbornly refused to disclose. That form was produced after a confidential human source (CHS) informed the FBI about an interaction he had with Burisma executives that implicated the Biden family in a foreign bribery scheme.
The confidential human source was asked whether he was “aware of Burisma’s board of directors.” When the source answered, “no,” he was informed that one board member was Hunter Biden, who was “hired to protect us, through his father, from all kinds of problems.”
The source then asked why Burisma needed him when they had Hunter. The Burisma executive replied that “Hunter Biden was not smart” and they wanted “additional counsel.”
Months later and after the 2016 election, the confidential human source spoke with Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky, who wasn’t happy that Hillary Clinton lost the election. Nor was he happy with the Bidens.
Zlochevsky complained that Joe and Hunter had “forced or coerced” him into paying them, adding that he had “many text messages and recordings” to prove it.
Reacting to the shocking revelations in this form, Sen. Grassley said:
“The American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats, thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers. “What did the Justice Department and FBI do with the detailed information in the document? And why have they tried to conceal it from Congress and the American people for so long?”
The countdown to Biden’s impeachment begins now!

In their own words: What the Apollo 11 astronauts said
about their monumental moon landing
|
|
It's estimated that over 530 million people watched the broadcast of the moon landing live on television on July 20, 1969.
"We did it. We actually put people on the surface of the moon."
Those were the words from former Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell, who was just one of millions of people around the globe who watched in awe as Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Upon setting foot on another world, Armstrong uttered a phrase that would be etched in history: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”
It is estimated that over 530 million people watched the broadcast of the moon landing live on television, equivalent to nearly 15% of the world's entire population in 1969. It is also estimated that 93% of all the televisions across the United States were tuned into the moon landing.
The flashpoint for the ambitious mission to the moon predates Apollo 11 by nearly seven years when President John F. Kennedy made his famous speech at Rice University amid the Cold War.
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too,” President John F. Kennedy said on Sept. 12, 1962.

Inmates Serving 10 Years to Life in Maximum Facility Prison
Break Out Into Praise and Worship in Powerful Scene:
‘Jesus Is Winning’
|
|
A Christian ministry recently released a video revealing what heartfelt praise and worship looks like inside a maximum security prison, with inmates joyfully raising their hands to the Lord and praying. The moving scenes were shared by God Behind Bars, an organization that partners with churches to help bring the Gospel to incarcerated men and women across the U.S. The video, which includes mostly praise and worship, also features some positive and affirming messages inmates receive through God Behind Bars. “Some of you guys in this room — this is one of the only moments that you just have your time with the Lord,” a speaker is seen telling 150 inmates who gathered inside a prison chapel. “It might always be chaos or noise … so I just want to take a moment and allow you guys … to just spend some time with Jesus, reflect, begin to think of things that you’re grateful for.”
This is hardly the first video or testimony to come from God Behind Bars, with the organization consistently sharing a flood of content on social media showing how inmates’ lives are changed by encounters with Jesus. As CBN’s Faithwire previously reported, 130 prisoners were recently baptized due to the organization’s work, including 90 women at a federal prison. God Behind Bars called it a 'holy moment.' “God is changing the lives of these women,” the ministry said. “Addictions are breaking, forgiveness is reigning, and Jesus is winning.” (Faith Wire.com) Learn More about Ministry and Watch Worship Video Here.

And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! No, not one!

No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
