The Trump Indictment and the Collapse of Confidence in our Institutions
|
|
Democracies cannot thrive – and may not survive – when citizens lose confidence in their basic institutions.
That is exactly what is happening in America today. This loss of confidence and a bitter ideological divide are our country’s most profound challenges. Those challenges form the essential backdrop for understanding the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s indictment.
Before turning to the charges facing Trump, consider their larger political setting, which begins with any democratic government’s most fundamental responsibilities: preserving public order, ensuring its citizens’ safety, and applying the law fairly. The institutions charged with those responsibilities are crumbling at the local, state, and federal levels, and millions of voters on both sides of our gaping ideological spectrum know it. Each blames the other and accepts no blame for themselves.
This collapse of public order is painfully obvious in many major cities, where violent crime, massive organized shoplifting, and homeless encampments have become dangerous facts of ordinary life. Law-abiding citizens, the backbone of those cities, have found the quality of their lives declining.
They bear much of the blame themselves.
They elected the district attorneys who refuse to prosecute serious crimes and so encourage even more. They elected the mayors and legislators who justify such rampant disorder under the heart-warming name of “social justice.” How do armed robberies, looting, and gang violence qualify as social justice? The same citizens stood silent as police forces were decimated by “defund the police” movements and a torrent of criticism from senior elected officials and political activists.

Abba, Mr. Durden is absolutely correct in his perspective on the loss of confidence in our governmental institutions. Daily we are confronted with new revelations about lies told to us by government representatives, illegal actions taken by high ranking government officials that were ignored, justice never being done, truth being swept under the rug. House and Senate subcommittees investigating the lies and illegal actions are not given answers to their questions. We have become a country in which heads of government departments refuse to take accountability for their areas of responsibility and nothing is done.
Father God, the enemy has infiltrated every aspect of our society. Many of us have unknowingly allowed ourselves to become pawns in a very dark plan to bring down our country. We ask you to forgive us for not having been salt and light, allowing the darkness to establish strongholds in our nation. We ask your forgiveness for not having the courage to confront our elected officials when they make decisions that are contrary to your word. We ask you to open our eyes, give us discernment, show us what is going on in the spiritual realm, not just in the natural. Teach us to use your word to bring down those strongholds, to retake spiritual ground that has been lost, to break curses spoken over our families, our country, We ask this in the name Yahweh Sabaoth, Host of Heaven's Armies.
4 "The weapons we fight with are not
the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power
to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every
pretension that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought
to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

Tucker Carlson: Trump Indicted for Rejecting the "Neocon Endless War Agenda"
|
|
‘Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot at becoming president who dissents from Washington's longstanding, pointless war agenda,’ Carlson said. ‘And for that one fact, they are trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him.’
While the indictment of former President Donald Trump is certainly political – his being President Joe Biden’s most formidable rival for the next election – even more so, it is ideological due to his dissent from the perpetually undying “neocon war agenda,” according to Tucker Carlson.
In the third episode of his new show on Twitter, the former flagship Fox News host proposed Trump’s fate was sealed as early as February 16, 2016, when in a Republican primary debate he exposed virtually the entire uniparty in Washington for lying the United States into an invasion of Iraq.
“They lied and they said there were weapons of mass destruction,” Trump famously declared at that time. “There were none and they knew there were none! That’s the day Donald Trump made a blood enemy of the largest and most powerful organization in human history, which would be the [U.S.] federal government,” Carlson explained.

Abba, we give you praise, thanks and glory for the outspoken voice of Tucker Carlson. We thank you that he is fearless in the face of Tech giants trying to silence him. We pray your protection over him, his family, everything precious to him. In Jesus' name.
Father, we ask you to bring to light all information concerning the "neocon war agenda", show your church truth and teach us how to pray, in Jesus' name. We ask for revelation of how we can best pray into these circumstances, show us the spiritual stronghold and give us your scripture that we an pray it down, in Jesus' name.
Father God, we ask your hand of protection over President Trump and all his family. We thank you that you have given him the ability to "see in the darkness" where most of us have no vision. We give you praise, honor and glory for giving Donald John Trump an unstoppable spirit, a heart to speak truth no matter the cost, a willingness to confront the enemy and then stand his ground. We ask you to send forth your warrior angels to do battle for him in the heavenlies, and give your remnant wisdom and knowledge to undergird him at all times in prayer.
10 "In his unfailing love, my God
will stand with me.
He will let me look down in
triumph on all my enemies." (Psalm 59:10)

The Machine God Takes Over
|
|
The Protestant German church was filled with worshipers. A photograph of the event showed a video screen in place of the pastor. And the sermon was written and delivered by the AI chatbot ChatGPT.
This was humanity worshiping its machines, and it may bring the wrath of God upon us all. It seems as if society, worldwide, is determined to commit suicide. Artificial intelligence, which is nothing more than a computer program, preaching to humanity is the ultimate sin.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”
That is the first and second of the Ten Commandments. Of course, an atheist casts all that aside. It is his or her risk to take. A Christian cannot dismiss these instructions, or the words that follow, yet here, in this Protestant church in Germany, the congregation sits and worships before an idol and calls the event a “service” – yet nothing about the service was real.

Title: ChatGPT delivers sermon to packed German church, tells congregants not to fear death - Fox News |
|
- Abba, you tell us to eat from the Tree of Life, but just as Adam and Eve desired to "be like God" and ate from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so many in your church today desire to "be like God", and they too have been deceived.
Father, we ask you to reveal yourself to all in your church who, being deceived, are looking to human knowledge and the power that brings to be their god. We ask that you reveal yourself in whatever way you know will touch their minds and hearts, turning them to you, their creator. We ask for revelation of your presence, your glory, your love. We ask that the lie of the enemy be cut off of their lives and your vision for their lives, their destinies, be revealed. We ask in Jesus' name. AMEN
11b ...""Have you eaten from the tree whose
fruit I commanded you not to eat?"
12 The man replied, "It was the woman you gave me
who gave me the fruit, and I ate it."
13 Then the Lord God asked the woman,
"What have you done?"
"The serpent deceived me," she replied.
"That's why I ate it." (Genesis 3:11b-13)

2. Coalition whip sanctions Likud MK for Judicial Selection Committee vote fiasco - Jerusalem Post
Likud MK Tally Gotliv was sanctioned by coalition whip MK Ofir Katz on Thursday after she broke party and coalition discipline by refusing to pull her candidacy in Wednesday's Judicial Selection Committee vote in the Knesset.
Until further notice, Gotliv's membership in the Knesset committees will be frozen, she will not be allowed to propose bills and will not be allowed to speak in the name of the Likud faction in the Knesset.
"Ofir Katz, number 32 on the Likud list. A loyal soldier, he decided to tell the media instead of me that I will be sanctioned and removed from the Knesset committees. Good for you, Ofir," Gotliv reacted to the sanctions on her Twitter account. (Read more)

3. Bennett denounced as 'war criminal' in Toronto - Israel National News
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was the guest of honor at the annual fundraising event of the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Research, held last night in Toronto.
Outside the building where the event was held, dozens of pro-Palestinian activists gathered to protest against the arrival of the "war criminal" Bennett in Canada. The demonstrators, who waved Palestinian Liberation Organization flags and wore the traditional Palestinian Arab headscarf, chanted slogans in support of the Palestinian Arab struggle against Israel.
One of the speakers at the demonstration said that during Bennett's tenure as Prime Minister, the Israeli authorities were involved in the theft of Palestinian Arab lands. He declared that the injustice caused to the Palestinian Arabs will not last forever, and that the Palestinian Arabs have the right to return to their homeland and become citizens with equal rights.

4. Israeli Academic Claims A.I. Could Write a 'New Bible' in a Few Years - Christian Headlines
A respected academic has claimed that Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is realistically capable of creating a 'new Bible' in the near future.
Professor Yuval Noah Harari made the claims during a public seminar called 'Humanity is not that simple' with journalist Pedro Pinto in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 19.
Harari is a historian at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has sold over 20 million books worldwide on issues such as technological disruption and ethical questions about science and technology.
At the Lisbon event, he shared that "Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century. The Printing Press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it. But it did not create a single new page. It had no ideas of its own about the Bible: is it good? Is it bad? How to interpret this or that."

- Holy God, the depths to which our sin now plunges is truly becoming terrifying for those of us who wish to cling to You, and to You only, to guide our paths through life. We are almost without words as we read this report, but we come to You, Holy One, to help us know how to intercede. We thank You that it is written that, after Your Crucifixion, You visited "hell, death and the grave" for Your Kingdom purposes. We now stand beside You, O God, decreeing that You have overcome evil with good. Help us to forgive those who are moving in the wrong direction, and intercede that they might yet find You as their Savior and their Lord. Amen.

5. Khamenei: Judea and Samaria terror groups will bring Israel ‘to its knees - World Israel News
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Wednesday declared that Palestinian towns in Judea and Samaria constitute a “major battleground” for terror groups fighting Israel.
“The growing power of the resistance groups in [Judea and Samaria] is the key to bringing the Zionist enemy to its knees, and this path must continue,” he said during a meeting with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror chief, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, in Tehran.
Gaza-based, Iran-backed terror groups, including Hamas and PIJ, have sought to expand their influence in Judea and Samaria.
Multiple polls have shown that were elections to be held today, Hamas would overthrow the Palestinian Authority and the ruling Fatah faction from power. (Read more)

1. The “Great Grift”: New AP Investigation Reveals Stunning Scope of COVID Fraud – Pandemic.news
The fraud that underpinned the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “pandemic” runs so deep that even the Associated Press (AP) now admits that the entire things was a great grift against the American people and the world.
In fact, the AP entitled its new investigation into covid fraud “The Great Grift,” highlighting how the Federal Reserve funneled trillions of dollars in “stimulus” spending into the coffers of sham companies and organizations tasked with addressing the “pandemic.”
All in all, some $4.2 trillion in “emergency aid” was disbursed, an amount so large that when adjusted for inflation makes it even more expensive than the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s (FDR) infamous “New Deal.” “Fraudsters used the Social Security numbers of dead people and federal prisoners to get unemployment checks,” the AP reveals about one such grift that spread like wildfire during covid. (Read more) |
|
Abba, we can't even truly understand how much $4.2 trillion is, there are just too many 0's. We thank you that the Associated Press is shining a light on how poorly the Biden Regime managed this money. Father, there were so many lies told to the American people during this time it is hard to know what is truth and what is not. The government has shown itself to be a Machiavellian regime with no regard for those put who them in office.
Lord, we ask you to intervene in this financial debacle and bring into the light all who should have been monitoring what funds were going out and to whom. We ask that all who intentionally dispersed funds outside of normal protocols be exposed and replaced.. We ask that those who applied for funds illegally be exposed and held accountable for restoration of those funds or face being arrested and tried for fraud. We ask that all churches and businesses that requested funds when they really weren't in financial distress be exposed and required to restore all funds. We ask all of this in the the name of El Shaddai, Almighty God. Amen
11 "Then the Lord said to me, "Look, Jeremiah!
What do you see?" And I replied,
"I see a branch from an almond tree."
12 And the Lord said, "That's right, and it
means that I am watching, and I
will certainly carry out all my plans." (Jeremiah 1:11-12)

2. Nightmare Scenario: US Govt Has Been Secretly Stockpiling Dirt on Americans Via Data Brokers – Discern Report
The US Government has been purchasing troves of information on American citizens from 3rd party data providers, according to Wired, which cites privacy advocates who say this constitutes a “nightmare scenario.” The United States government has been secretly amassing a “large amount” of “sensitive and intimate information” on its own citizens, a group of senior advisers informed Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, more than a year ago.
The size and scope of the government effort to accumulate data revealing the minute details of Americans’ lives are described soberly and at length by the director’s own panel of experts in a newly declassified report. Haines had first tasked her advisers in late 2021 with untangling a web of secretive business arrangements between commercial data brokers and US intelligence community members. -Wired
“This report reveals what we feared most,” according to attorney Sean Vitka of the Demand Progress nonprofit. “Intelligence agencies are flouting the law and buying information about Americans that Congress and the Supreme Court have made clear the government should not have.” (Read more) |

- LORD GOD, We need a new administration. The Supreme Court ruled that Government should not gather data on Americans. Help install new leaders who believe in Freedom of the people. Raise up leaders who believe in YOU and the Constitution. In YOUR Name we pray, AMEN and AMEN.
- "So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor." (Luke 20:20)

3. Regional Banks Scramble to Unload Commercial Real Estate Loans, Fearing New Crisis – The Epoch Times
The work-from-home trend has been taking its toll on office landlords and is now making its way through to banks’ commercial loan portfolios, leading some analysts to predict that more trauma could be on the way for regional banks this year.
And in the current climate of bank failures, short sellers, and nervous depositors, banks with large exposures to commercial real estate (CRE) loans are racing to clean up and sell down their loan portfolios in hopes that they will not fall victim to another round of bank runs.
“There is an estimated $1.5 trillion of commercial property debt that will be due for repayment in about 18 months,” Peter Earle, an economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, told The Epoch Times. “It’s not improbable that even if interest rates have fallen by that time, some of that real estate debt will nevertheless be impaired and have an adverse impact on regional banks.” (Read more)

- Dear Lord JESUS, Help us recover in the commercial real estate market. Working from home has had a detrimental effect on the economy. We need YOU to help all those involved and let them thrive in this market. We Praise and Thank YOU. AMEN & AMEN
- "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29: 11-13)

4. Nuclear Armed Nations Are Expanding and Modernizing Their Nuclear Arsenals in Anticipation of a Potential Global Power Conflict – Discern Report
The world’s nuclear-armed states are expanding and modernizing their arsenals of nuclear weapons as tensions between the world’s great powers continue to rise and these nations continue to militarize in anticipation of a potential global power conflict.
This brings the total number of active nuclear weapons in the world to 9,576. When including nuclear weapons held in reserve, that number goes up to 12,512.
“Most of the nuclear-armed states are hardening their rhetoric about the importance of nuclear weapons, and some are even issuing explicit or implicit threats about potentially using them,” said SIPRI associate researcher Matt Korda. “This elevated nuclear competition has dramatically increased the risk that nuclear weapons might be used in anger for the first time since World War II.” (Read more) |

- HEAVENLY FATHER, Our enemies are getting more brazen with their nuclear capabilities. YOU know how much damage this would cause every living being. We ask YOU to slow down and stop this nuclear conflict. We pray YOU will intervene in every nation with these weapons and stop their capability supernaturally. It is in YOUR name we pray. AMEN and AMEN

5. WHO Calls for Simulation to Prepare for Next Global Pandemic – Pandemic.news
The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), a body convened by the World Health Organization (WHO), has called for a global pandemic simulation. .
The proposed simulation exercise would involve Members of the States and key stakeholders, assessing the draft accord and International Health Organization (IHR) amendments before finalization and adoption in 2024. It is expected to take place later this year, offering insights into the strength, equity, coherence and accountability mechanisms of the proposed treaty and amendments.
Joy Phumaphi, the co-chair of the GPMB, emphasized the urgency of testing the new terms. “We feel very strongly that we cannot wait for the next emergency to find out how well the pandemic accord and the IHR amendments will work; we need to know now,” Phumaphi said. She proposed that member states, along with other key stakeholders, participate in the simulation exercise based on the draft accord and amendments later this year.
During the assembly, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO, also stressed the importance of commitment from the present generation to such an accord, highlighting the devastating impact of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. He even warned that the next pandemic was inevitable, urging countries to take immediate action. “If we do not make the changes that must be made, then who will? And if we do not make them now, then when?” (Read more) |
|
|
- Lord God, as intercessors we declare “NO WAY!”, in Jesus name, to anything the WHO has planned; not on our watch! We ask that You cause the internal structure of WHO to begin to collapse; and may those making policy be in total disunity regarding global treaties, programs, and policies. Open eyes in each of the nation members to the truth behind WHO’s curtains; may each see the evil and folly and resign membership and cancel any funding to the WHO. We especially condemn all plans for any simulation exercises proposed as we recall that the coronavirus patents and plans for simulations that were made long before the world ever heard of COVID and its global pandemic. Father, we refuse to put any trust in the WHO; we trust in You to watch over and protect our health in whatever way You know is best. Father, please continue to expose the plans of the globalists. Forgive and save those behind WHO; heal their spirits and save their souls, especially Bill Gates.
- "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday." (Psalm 91:1-6)

6. Here’s How to Stop the Censorship Industry From Taking Our Internet Freedom – Lifesite News
Decentralizing the internet and stripping the censorship industry of its government funding would help bring back freedom to the digital sphere, executive director for the Foundation for Freedom Online Mike Benz said. The internet was likely not intended to remain free forever. The intention for it to be used as a totalitarian tool was baked in from the start.
Google started as a DARPA grant and was part of the CIA’s and NSA’s digital data program, the purpose of which was to conduct “birds of a feather” mapping online so that certain groups could be neutralized.
All of the early internet freedom technologies of the 1990s were funded by the Pentagon and the State Department. They were developed by the intelligence community as an insurgency tool – a means to help dissident groups in foreign countries to develop a pro-U.S. stance and evade state-controlled media. Now, these same technologies have been turned against the American public, and are used to control public discourse.
In the past, censorship was a laborious task that could only be done after the fact. Artificial intelligence has radically altered the censorship industry. AI programs can now censor information en masse, based on the language used, and prevent it from being seen at all.
One of the most effective strategies that would have immediate effect would be to strip the censorship industry of its government funding. The House controls the purse strings of the federal government, so the House Appropriations Committee has the power to end the funding of government-sponsored censorship. (Read more)
[Please note: this is a very long article!] |
|
|
- Lord God, we do ask that You would move upon the hearts of our legislators in the House of Representatives to strip the censorship industry of its government funding. We call forth other creative strategies that would prevent censorship of our people, and protect our freedom of speech. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, in Jesus' name. Amen and amen.
- ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:3)

7. Senator Cruz Puts ESG and DEI in the Crosshairs – RedState.com
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have become hot-button issues in recent years because the left has been quite successful in pushing these policies by circumventing normal legislative channels and using Americans’ own money to fuel their enactment.
Fortunately, we are witnessing a strong backlash against these unpopular and decidedly un-American policies throughout the country, both at the state and federal level.
To date, 13 states —including Florida, Idaho, Texas, and many others—have passed legislation that seeks to ban ESG investing when it comes to state funds, such as public employee retirement plans. A similar pattern is emerging in red states, where governors like Ron DeSantis are banning DEI initiatives in publicly funded universities and K-12 public schools.
However, this could change soon.
On June 8, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill that would prohibit “companies that manage investment funds held in federal employee retirement accounts from using those holdings to vote in corporate shareholder meetings to force” ESG and DEI upon private businesses. (Read more)
|
|
|
- Thank You Father that, “… Americans are becoming aware of the fact that ESG and DEI are nothing more than leftist Trojan horses.” Thank You also that Sen. Cruz has stepped up with a bill that prohibits investment fund companies from coercing private businesses to add and follow ESG and DEI programs. We wonder how these policies have come into use without passage through normal legislative channels, plus concerns regarding the legality of using investors’ money to finance their schemes. May Sen. Cruz’s bill find much support and success—may citizens answer the call to prayer and action on this matter. By Your power, Lord, help us to continue the ‘good fight’ until we cross the finish line.
- "Those who walk righteously and speak what is right, who reject gain from extortion and keep their hands from accepting bribes, who stop their ears against plots of murder and shut their eyes against contemplating evil—they are the ones who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them." (Isaiah 53:15-16)

- Father God, we believe that You are looking down from heaven upon this agreement, and that it is not in Your will for this to prosper. We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, even as we trust You to take care of her enemies for us. We ask and decree that this new "strategic partnership" will fail, in Your Name, amen and amen.

Stupidocrisy: Another Boycott Target
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, June 15, 2023
Americans boycotting Target and Bud Light has had an impact, causing both companies to lose billions of dollars in sales and market caps. Moreover, causing them to hide their support—not end it, but move it out of the public eye. These companies are still donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to LGBTQ+++ organizations to fund their efforts in targeting children. Another company to add to the list is NIKE. The popular sports apparel company not only partakes in boosting the Chinese slave labor practices, but also is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ+++ agenda. NIKE even has an online toolkit to explain all the various sex terms and how to be an advocate for LGBTQ+++ in sports and at schools.
Under the “Be True” branding, NIKE offers various “gender affirming” clothing articles promoted by athletes. NIKE posts on its website: “Be True is part of Nike’s broader commitment to the LGBTQIA2S+ community which focuses on recognition, advocacy, inspiration and education through community grants, employee engagement, storytelling, and product collections.” For example, the NIKE website promotes a new “We see you always, in all ways. The eye-catching design of Be True’s latest collection uses the artwork of trans man and artist Xavier Schipani to illustrate the euphoric feeling and joy of being free to express who you are.” This support by NIKE is nothing new.

Republican states have passed an unprecedented wave of bills this year cracking down on so-called “gender transitions,” particularly for children.
In the past four months, 17 states have approved laws to ban or limit transgender surgical and hormonal inventions for youth. Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parsons is poised to sign a similar law in the coming days, and bans are also moving forward in other states, including Louisiana, North Carolina, and Ohio. (LifeSite) Read more here.

Republicans Gun for Biden’s Pride Flags
|
|
|
|
While the White House races to distance itself from the impromptu strip show on its South Lawn last Saturday, the bare-breasted trans display was only one part of the taxpayer-funded circus that Joe Biden brought to the most sacred residence in America. “Add this to the list of ways Biden has degraded the prestige and decorum of the office of president,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) fumed. A list that also includes his decision to make the controversial Progress Flag the balcony focal point during his Pride fest, centered in a place of honor that should be reserved for our nation’s colors.
Most Americans still can’t get over the image of the transgender baby blue and pink draped over one of the most symbolic buildings in America. The president’s brazen endorsement of a movement that’s mutilating children and splitting up families was like a slap in the face to a country already burning with rage over the Democrats’ trans fixation.
“The flag of the United States of America placed in equal stature on the flank of the alphabet cult battle flag,” Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) seethed. “The Biden administration is a disgrace.” Others pointed out the flagrant violation of the U.S. Flag Code, which White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed off. “Did anybody notice that or fail to notice that,” a reporter asked, “or was it an intentional statement?”
Jean-Pierre was defiant, insisting the president was “proud” to display the Progress Flag, even calling it a “historic” moment for a day “centered around love and family.” “… [W]e’re not going to let anyone distract us from that, what was the meaning of the day. … I’m certainly not going to get into protocols from here. … I’ll leave that to others.”
Those “others” may soon be House Republicans, who’ve wasted no time putting the Biden administration on notice for its anti-American displays. On Wednesday, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) used Flag Day “to remind everyone that the Stars and Stripes is the ONLY flag that displays our nation’s shared values.”
His Senate colleague, Roger Marshall (R), introduced a bill called the One Flag for All Act Wednesday to make it illegal to “fly, drape, or display any flag other than the American flag on federal buildings or properties, with limited exceptions.” “We have a duty…” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) agreed, “[to stand] up in defense of this country instead of a radical Leftist ideology that results in a pride flag being hung at the same level as the US flag on the front of the White House.” (The Washington Stand) Please read more here.

- Lord God, this article goes on to state that " Secretary of Veteran Affairs Denis McDonough’s directive to fly the rainbow and Progress Flags above, beside, or even in lieu of the stars and stripes at VA facilities. The GOP’s Mississippi delegation fired off an indignant letter over the rainbow colors at Biloxi National Cemetery, which they say shows “deep disrespect” to our nation’s servicemembers."
We stand against this flood of filth trying to overwhelm our nation, and we ask You to intervene on our behalf. Thank You, O Lord, that YOU are a MIGHTY GOD and that this move of the enemy SHALL be stopped at the gate, in Your name, amen and amen!

And here your proud waves must stop!’ (Job 38:11)

The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)

Homeland Committee Chairman: China Likely Sending Military Personnel Into U.S.
|
|
|
|
On Wednesday, Congressman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, claimed that the People’s Republic of China is likely sending military personnel into the United States via the southern border with Mexico.
According to Just The News, Chairman Green made the revelation at a press conference, where he also announced a new investigation into Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In his remarks, Congressman Green said that “Chinese Nationals, many of whom are military-aged men” and have ties to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are crossing the southern border among the hordes of third-world illegal aliens, and have similarly been released into the United States by the Biden Administration.
“We have no idea who these people are and it’s very likely, using Russia’s template of sending military personnel into Ukraine, China is doing the same in the United States,” said Green, who also said that the claims were verified by a Border Patrol sector chief.
In concurrence with Green’s remarks, the Homeland Security Committee released a report on Wednesday revealing that the number of apprehensions of Chinese nationals at the southern border has increased significantly since Biden took power.
At least 10,000 Chinese illegals were encountered at the border during the time period between October 2022 and April 2023, the report states. During the same period of time in the previous year, that number was down to just 2,200.
The revelations highlight a major national security risk associated with the Biden Administration’s open-borders approach to immigration. Biden and the Democratic Party as a whole have vowed to provide amnesty to millions of illegals, as well as numerous free taxpayer-funded benefits, including education, healthcare, and housing.

- Father God, we thank You that Congress is paying attention to the infiltration of Chinese operatives into our nation. We ask that measures be set in place to detain these enemies, try them in a court of law and send each one back to China. Thank You, Lord, amen and amen.

Scientists Shed Light on the Unusual Origin of a Familiar Meteor Shower
|
|
|
Each winter, the Geminid meteors light up the sky as they race past Earth, producing one of the most intense meteor showers in the night sky. Now, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission is providing new evidence that a violent, catastrophic event created the Geminids.
Most meteor showers come from comets, which are made of ice and dust. When a comet travels close to the Sun, the ice evaporates and releases gas, dislodging small pieces of the comet and creating a trail of dust. Slowly, this repeated process fills the comet’s orbit with material that produces a meteor shower when Earth passes through the stream.
However, the Geminid stream seems to originate from an asteroid – a chunk of rock and metal – called 3200 Phaethon. Asteroids like Phaethon are not typically affected by the Sun’s heat the way comets are, leaving scientists to wonder what caused the formation of Phaethon’s stream across the night sky.
“What’s really weird is that we know that Phaethon is an asteroid, but as it flies by the Sun, it seems to have some kind of temperature-driven activity. Most asteroids don’t do that,” said Jamey Szalay, a research scholar at Princeton University and co-author on the science paper, recently published in Planetary Science Journal. Read More

Prayer Breaks Out with Donald Trump Following 'Not Guilty' Plea
|
|
Following his historic arraignment and not guilty plea in federal court, former President Donald Trump went to one of Miami's most famous Cuban restaurants. Throngs of supporters and media followed him to Versailles, where he posed for photos and the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" as Trump turns 77 on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. According to People magazine, "The group included the likes of former MMA fighter Jorge Masvidal and Florida State Sen. Ileana Garcia. "I think it's a rigged deal here. We have a rigged country. We have a country that's corrupt. We have a country that's got no borders. We have a country that's got nothing but problems. We're a nation in decline, and then they do this stuff, and you see where the people are," Trump said, addressing the charges brought against him.
After mingling with the crowd, Trump was approached by several people who asked if they could pray over him, something that has become a common occurrence among Trump supporters when the former president visits various locations. The first man who began praying spoke as a Cuban-American and denounced the wave of communism that is trying to sweep across the country, a system that many throughout Miami fled when leaving Cuba and the Castro-regime. He also thanked God that He had anointed Donald Trump for a time such as this, as the person chosen to block the radical agendas transforming the nation into something reminiscent of the communist regimes many Americans fled in their native countries. Several other supporters joined in praying over the former president, which was punctuated by cheers once the prayers were complete. (Charisma News) Read More Here

June 15, 2023 I hear the Lord saying to all of us this day. “TURN UP THE LIGHT” Let there be no confusion as to where you stand in this world. Be determined to love the unlovely, the ungodly, the uninformed and the uninspired. But don’t let your love for those individuals compromise your ability to stand up for the truth, which is the WORD OF GOD. WE are a people set apart for God’s purpose. We are not a clique, but we are a holy nation, we are called to be the light of the world. - Budd Rodgers

Matthew 5:14-16 (MEV) “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

Here is Love
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: William Reest
Music: Robert Lowry
Scripture: God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
Lyrics:
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Lovingkindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our ransom,
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten,
Throughout Heav’n’s eternal days.
On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above,
And Heav’n’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love.
Let me all Thy love accepting,
Love Thee, ever all my days;
Let me seek Thy kingdom only
And my life be to Thy praise;
Thou alone shalt be my glory,
Nothing in the world I see.
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me,
Thou Thyself hast set me free.
In Thy truth Thou dost direct me
By Thy Spirit through Thy Word;
And Thy grace my need is meeting,
As I trust in Thee, my Lord.
Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring
Thy great love and power on me,
Without measure, full and boundless,
Drawing out my heart to Thee.
