WATCH: GOP Representatives Worship in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda
“Let Us Worship” founder and singer-songwriter Sean Feucht led a group from the House of Representatives in worship inside the U.S. Capitol rotunda.
Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Michael Cloud (R-TX), Josh Brecheen (R-OK), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), Tracey Mann (R-KS), Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Barry Moore (R-AL) joined Feucht’s late-night worship service Thursday.
“They were lifting their hands. They were on their knees. They were crying out for revival in America,” Feucht said. “We were all declaring revival is the only hope for the nation, and it’s amazing when we come to the place where God is our only option, and I think we’re there right now in America.”
"Thank God for these 7 members of US Congress who are bold and unashamed about their faith in Jesus Christ!
They all hosted worship last night inside the US Capitol!"
The “Faithful to the End” singer called the Republican politicians “bold” for showing up.
“It was the beginning of, I believe, a new season where that kind of thing is going to begin to become normal — like worship times breaking out in Congress, worship and prayer breaking out in the Speaker’s office, happening in the Senate. I see a move of God that’s going to sweep through D.C. and sweep through the Capitol building, and I believe it began on Thursday night.”
- Father God, we at CHPP have been waiting almost 30 years for this moment. We agree that the "lockdown" season under Nancy Pelosi has now ENDED, and a new wave of REVIVAL is beginning to sweep through the halls of Congress!
We ask that this WAVE OF REVIVAL not stop inside the Capitol Rotunda, but would also SWEEP THROUGH THE CORRIDORS of all the other buildings on Capitol Hill: the Russell, Dirksen and Hart Buildings on the Senate side; and in the Cannon, Longworth and Rayburn Buildings on the House side. We ask, too, that Your mighty Hand of Protection would rest upon the seven members of Congress who ushered in this wave of GLORY last week in the Rotunda, as well as upon our dear friend and worship leader, Sean Feucht! In Your MIGHTY name we offer this prayer, amen and amen!
- "For the Lord is our Judge,
The Lord is our Lawgiver,
The Lord is our King;
He will save us." (Isaiah 33:22)

Bank of America Worked With Feds To Target Gun Owners, Whistleblower Confirms
Bank of America (BOA) worked with the FBI to investigate customers who made purchases with BOA credit and debit cards on and around Jan. 6, and pushed those who had made gun purchases to the top of the list, according to whistleblower testimony obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The whistleblower, George Hill, a retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, testified to the House Judiciary Committee In February that BOA gave the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) a list of individuals who made transactions in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area between Jan. 5 and Jan. 7, saying the company did so of its own volition and without any known legal process, according to testimony made to the House Judiciary Committee in February. The list of individuals, later distributed to FBI field offices across the country, included BOA customers that purchased any product between those dates, while customers who had bought firearms were prioritized.
“The Bank of America, with no directive from the FBI, datamined its customer base,” Hill testified. “And they datamined a date range of 5 to 7 January of any BOA customer who used a BOA product. And by ‘BOA product’ I mean a debit card or a credit card. They compiled that list. And then, on the top of that list, they put anyone who had purchased a firearm during any date.”
Connections between the FBI and BOA were first alleged after Fox News host Tucker Carlson uncovered evidence that BOA was turning over personal information in February 2021. Carlson reported that BOA identified 211 people and turned that information over to investigators without the consent of the account holders.
“We don’t comment on our communications with law enforcement. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law,” BOA told Carlson at the time. (Daily Caller) Read more here.
- Mighty King, we speak out for righteousness and ask that BOA be judged according to any laws they may have broken. May this bank and all others be restored to a standard of honor and integrity that is worthy of an American and Constitutional corporation. We pray for every citizen of this nation who has been singled out to have their personal, private records willingly turned over to the FBI without cause. We pray for this unrighteous action by BOA to continue being exposed with consequences corresponding to the violations, in Jesus name.
- "These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice and peace;" (Zechariah 8:16)

Gun Owners of America Aghast at Potential ATF Expansion
A national gun rights organization is decrying the expansion of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in President Joe Biden’s $6.8 trillion budget proposal for 2024.
“GOA is extremely concerned at the massive surge in ATF funding in recent years—doubling the size of the agency since the end of the Obama administration,” Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, wrote in an email to The Epoch Times.
Biden’s budget proposal contains $1.9 billion for the ATF. This is a 13.6 percent increase over 2022 and half a billion dollars more than the agency’s fiscal 2020 budget. If passed as written, Biden’s budget would expand the ATF by 35.7 percent—an overall growth of more than 50 percent since the Obama administration.
In a statement, GOA said the budget items are nothing more than incremental gun control that will make no one safer while denying law-abiding gun owners their constitutional rights.
The organization is especially alarmed at funding for “crisis intervention programs,” so-called “Red Flag Laws." GOA and other gun rights groups claim that Red Flag laws set the stage for authorities to confiscate firearms without due process. They say that language in the Act requiring due process is misleading.
The Act calls for due process “at the appropriate phase” of the process to avoid violating a person’s constitutional rights.The organization points out that the law doesn’t specify when that phase is, leaving open the possibility that the appropriate phase may come after a person’s firearms have already been confiscated. (Epoch Times) Read more.
- We strike down this massive budget for the ATF, and pray that we are not faced with the possibility of the government taking up arms against we, the people, in Jesus name. As we have watched other nations lose their freedoms, we ask You Abba, for strength to be strong in the face of such threats as ATF or IRS. Father, we ask You to cause us to be sober about the realities we face with this government, wise in understanding our Biblical and Constitutional responsibilities and courageous in defending our families and culture, in Jesus name.
- "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, And will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord has His way In the whirlwind and in the storm, And the clouds are the dust of His feet." (Nahum 1:3)

Nor'easter storm knocks out power for over 135K, cancels flights
New York, Massachusetts closed state offices due to nor'easter
A Nor'easter brought rain and snow to states across the region and New England, knocking out power for tens of thousands of businesses and residents and hampering travel efforts.
According to power outage tracker PowerOutage.US, more than 71,000 customers are without power in New York, nearly 36,000 were impacted in Massachusetts, over 16,000 were powerless in New Hampshire and roughly 13,500 were affected in Vermont.
In New York City early Tuesday morning, continuous rain turned into light snow.
Flights were canceled Tuesday at Massachusetts' Boston Logan International Airport, New York's LaGuardia Airport and New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport.

'Lives and property' at risk in California
In California, the weather service warned that excessive rainfall over parts of the state’s central and southern areas could cause “severe, widespread flash flooding” that could imperil “lives and property.” The warning came as a front extending from the northern Rockies to central California was expected to bring a wave of low pressure onshore over the Golden State on Tuesday, it said.
The storm is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of California, where 26 million people are under flood alerts and high-elevation areas face heavy snow. Oregon and the Great Basin are also expected to see heavy precipitation, it said. The severe weather could create considerable to “locally catastrophic flooding impacts” for parts of California as it shifts south across much of the California coast, the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada foothills, the weather service said.
“Heavy rain, combined with snowmelt in terrain below 5,000 feet to result in more widespread flooding from Tuesday into Wednesday, particularly in low elevations and areas with shallow snowpack,” it said. “Heavy rain absorbed into the particularly deep snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, along with heavy snow, measuring in feet above about 7,500 feet, will further compound ongoing snow load impacts and issues,” it said.

- Lord God Almighty in Heaven, we come before You on bended knee, and we ask that You quell these storms. These disasters are now so widespread, but we know that You are a big God, and that nothing is too difficult for Thee! Come, Holy Spirit, bring comfort where needed and help those who are threatened by these storms to find protection. Amen.

1. Time to ‘snapback’ sanctions on Tehran, experts say - JNS
(March 14, 2023 / JNS) Leading Israeli and American experts on Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons capability are calling for immediate sanctions on the clerical regime and opposition to a renewed concessionary atomic accord with the Islamic Republic.
The recent diplomatic rapprochement between Tehran and Saudi Arabia may prove a shot in the arm to efforts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—the formal name of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Jerusalem views the accord as a threat to Israel’s existence because it would at best—if Tehran honors its terms—impose temporary restrictions on the regime’s ability to build nuclear bombs. (Read more)
2. Netanyahu to ministers: No meetings with US officials until PM is invited to White House - Israel National News
According to a report on Channel 12 News, those government members who have already flown out have also been told not to meet with members of the Biden administration, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was among those receiving similar instructions and would in any case not have met with administration officials even if they had not rebuffed him.
The only minister who is being permitted to fly out on an official trip to Washington and meet with American officials is Ron Dermer, who serves as a quasi-emissary of the premier.
According to one report, feelers were put out in recent weeks regarding a potential visit by Netanyahu to the United Arab Emirates on a specific date, but the meeting has yet to be finalized due to the fact that senior Emirati officials prefer to wait until after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister, lest the timing of their meeting cause embarrassment.

3. Knesset passes Override Clause, limiting Supreme Court’s power, in first reading - World Israel News
The Knesset voted to back two key provisions of the government’s judicial overhaul plan early Tuesday morning.
During a marathon session overnight which continued into Tuesday morning, the Knesset plenum voted 61 to 52 in favor of a bill which would both limit the Supreme Court’s ability to strike down laws and provide the Knesset with an override to veto such rulings.
Opposition lawmakers filibustered for hours, delaying the vote, which ultimately split entirely along Coalition-Opposition lines.
The two provisions were passed in their first reading, and will now be sent back to the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, headed by MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party), one of the architects of the judicial reform plan. (Read more)
4. ‘There Are Still Some People You Need to Burn’: UN Teachers in Gaza Praise Terrorists, Hitler on Social Media, New Report Says - Algemeiner
Teachers and staff working at Palestinian schools funded by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) regularly incite antisemitism, terrorism, and hate on social media, according to a new report released Tuesday by Impact-se and UN Watch, two nonprofits that research educational content in the Palestinian Territories.
The report, titled “UNRWA Education: Reform or Regression,” cited over 200 examples of UNRWA teachers promoting hateful content on social media, including a Syrian math teacher’s praising a March 2022 terrorist attack in Israel that claimed four lives, a Lebanese teacher’s calling the architect of several attacks a “martyr” and “noblest of souls,” and a Syrian UNRWA employee’s sharing on social media a photograph of Hitler, which she captioned, “there are still some people you need to burn.”
The problem exists alongside incitement in UNRWA school curriculum, the report continued, showing photographs of a school in Gaza teaching students that Dalal Mughrabi, who coordinated in 1978 the Coastal Road Massacre, which killed 38 Israelis, including thirteen children, is a “hero” and “the fighting leader.” (Read more)
5. European Parliament set to hold debate on Israel’s legal overhaul this evening - Times of Israel
The European Parliament is set to discuss Israel’s proposed judicial overhaul this evening in a session titled “Deterioration of democracy in Israel and consequences on the occupied territories.”
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell will speak at the start and close of the hour-long session, and is likely to take a critical stance. However, several pro-Israel MEPs will speak, including Antonio López-Istúriz White, chair of the delegation for relations with Israel, and delegation member Ilana Cicurel.
The debate will begin at 6:30 p.m. Israel time, but there will be no vote or resolution passed.
In recent days, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has called on European countries and the EU to refrain from interference in Israel’s internal affairs, including in a phone call earlier today with Borrell. (Read more)

1. Connecticut church sues over school vaccine mandate: 'We will obey God first' - Fox News
A church in Milford, Connecticut, is filing suit against the state government, claiming its First Amendment rights have been violated by a vaccination mandate.
In 2021, the state of Connecticut altered a law titled "An Act Concerning Immunizations" to remove all exemptions to vaccination requirements except medical instances. Milford Christian Church refused to compel students in its pre-K program and K-12 Academy to get a vaccine, claiming it violated its religious conscience to mandate the injections.
The state informed Milford Christian Church "that they had a choice between compelling their students to vaccinate, expelling them if they didn't, or facing the forceable state closure," according to attorney Cameron Atkinson, who is representing the church. (Read more)
- Holy King, we stand together and pray for Milford Christian Church as they are taking a moral and biblical position in the over state-mandated, compulsory vaccinations. We pray for Your intervention on behalf of these citizens Jesus and believe that You will grant them favor and victory over the governmental overreach against bodily sovereignty, in Jesus name.

2. Inflation rose 6% in February as Fed mulls more rate hikes amid bank chaos - New York Post
Inflation rose in February as sudden turmoil in the US banking sector sparked uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next move in the fight to bring down prices.
The February reading of the Consumer Price Index – a closely watched measure of inflation that tracks changes in the costs of everyday goods and services – rose 6% compared to the same month one year ago.
On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.4% compared to January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ release on Tuesday. Core inflation, a measure that excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 5.5% year-over-year.
The report was in line with expectations. Ahead of the February CPI report’s release, economists expected headline inflation to rise by 6% and core inflation to increase by 5.5% year-over-year. Prices were expected to rise by 0.4% from January to February. (Read more)

3. Biden washing machine rule would make Americans dirtier and stinkier — and raise prices - Fox News
Last month, President Biden's Department of Energy proposed new efficiency standards for washing machines that require new appliances to use considerably less water, all in an effort to "confront the global climate crisis."
Leading industry corporations have voiced their opinion on the rule, claiming the mandates force manufacturers to reduce cleaning performance to ensure their machines comply. As the Washington Free Beacon described it, "each cycle will take longer, the detergent will cost more, and in the end, the clothes will be less clean," according to manufacturers.
The proposed washing machine change is the latest example of the Biden administration pushing more consumer regulations to advance green initiatives. In February, the administration received heat for a proposal which would have banned half of America's gas stoves in addition to another proposal to heavily regulate refrigerators. (Read more)
- Father, we declare an end to the climate change agenda in Jesus name. We ask for all research that has been doctored, edited or changed to be exposed overwhelmingly and that the persistent mantra of doom would cease and desist while people of sound minds, power and love would speak out the obvious truth. The earth is the Lord's and we pray for this agenda-driven program to be brought under Your authority, in Jesus name.

4. GOP Oversight chairman subpoenas Hunter Biden associates’ bank records - The Hill
House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has issued a subpoena for the bank records belonging to associates of Hunter Biden.
The news was first disclosed in a letter that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the Oversight committee, sent to Comer expressing concerns about the panel’s investigation into presidential ethics.
In that letter, Raskin referenced “the sweeping subpoena you recently issued relating to business associates of President Biden’s son,” which he said Democrats were given with “mere hours of notice.” Raskin said this was a break from “longstanding committee practice” of giving the committee’s minority a minimum of 48 hours notice for subpoenas.
He later said the subpoena compelled Bank of America to produce “all financial records” from a 14-year period — from January 20, 2009 to the present — for three private citizens. One of the individuals targeted was John R. Walker, who is alleged to have “formed a joint venture with CEFC China executives,” which Raskin said is a “now-bankrupt Chinese energy conglomerate.” (Read more)
- Holy One, we pray for complete exposure of all activities that may have broken laws revolving around the Biden family. We ask that those who are assessing the extent and actuality of crimes be given the grace to put all the details together showing whether there have or have not been illegal actions. We declare truth that will set the captives free over all the suspicions, innuendos and accusations in these matters, in Jesus name.

5. Republican 2024 hopefuls respond to Tucker Carlson's questions about their stance on Russia-Ukraine war - Fox News
Several of the highly-buzzed Republican presidential hopefuls have responded to Tucker Carlson's questions pressing their stance on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Last week, the Fox News host challenged the already-declared candidates as well as several prominent Republicans who have sparked chatter of potentially entering the 2024 race to answer a questionnaire that asked the following: Is opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest?
Two of the three declared presidential candidates, former President Trump and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, responded to Carlson's inquiry as well as former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was the only declared presidential candidate who did not respond to Carlson's inquiry. (Read more)
- Father, it is encouraging to read through these responses to both the questions and the answers, because they give insight into some of our country's issues that need to be reconciled. We pray for Tucker to stay strong in his journalistic inquiries and we pray for these leaders to be clear, well-informed and firm in their positions to restore strength to this nation, in Jesus name.

6. House Democrats boycott committee trip to inspect border crisis - Just The News
No Democratic members of the House Homeland Security Committee will attend a planned trip to McAllen, Texas, on Wednesday, Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., has confirmed
"It’s deeply disappointing that the Minority members of the Committee have chosen to bail on this week’s full committee field hearing in Texas, only after they invited and confirmed a minority witness for one of the panels," he said in a statement, the Daily Wire reported.
"The only message their absence sends is that they are uninterested in coming to the table to have a conversation about the devastation that this border crisis is having on Americans and their communities across the country," he continued. "We will continue to encourage our Democrat colleagues to get out of the DC echo chamber and meet Americans where they are to discuss the biggest issues facing them." (Read more)
- Father God, we know this boycott is scripted with the intent to deny culpability and shame the Republicans. We call forth a clear and accurate assessment of the border crisis and ask You Father to expose all hidden schemes that are meant to cover up or deflect the seriousness of this situation, in Jesus name.

7. Ohio sues Norfolk Southern over East Palestine train derailment - Just The News
The state of Ohio this week announced a lawsuit against Norfolk Southern in connection with the February derailment of one of its trains near the town of East Palestine.
Attorney General Dave Yost filed the suit on Tuesday, contending that the railroad violated state and federal laws, among them the Ohio Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), CNN reported.
The Feb. 3 derailment saw toxic materials leak from the railcars and force an evacuation of the town. Authorities were later forced to implement a controlled release of the toxic materials to prevent an explosion. (Read more)
- Holy King, we cry out for total restoration of the land and water and restitution for all that has been devastated in the lives of the people in this small town. We thank You that the state of Ohio is standing up against this big railroad corporation and we pray for Your strength and authority to guide them to victory, in Jesus name.

8. Australia gains submarines, more patrols to counter China in deal with US, UK - The Hill
The White House on Monday announced a highly anticipated agreement to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines and increase submarine patrols in an effort to bolster the defense capabilities of a major ally in the Indo-Pacific region as tensions rise with China.
As part of the agreement, the U.S. will give at least three nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarines to Australia in roughly a decade.
Washington will also enhance training with Australian submariners, initiate rotational submarine patrols in the waters around Australia and work with Canberra to help it build a nuclear-powered submarine of its own.
President Biden formalized the security agreement at an event in San Diego with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“Top of the line submarines are the vanguard of U.S. naval power,” Biden said. “Our unprecedented trilateral cooperation agreement is a testament to the longstanding ties that unite us and our shared commitment of ensuring the Indo-Pacific remains shared and open.” (Read more)
- We thank You, Lord, for this new agreement, and that our nation has taken strong measures to increase the military preparedness of our neighbor and friend, the nation of Australia. We ask that this friendship would grow even stronger in the days ahead, so that any enemy in the South Pacific would take note of these allies. In Your Name, amen and amen.

The Daily Jot
Of Child Sexual Abuse And The Catholic Church
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 14, 2022
The Archdiocese of Baltimore is urging its Roman Catholic congregants to oppose two bills “currently before the Maryland General Assembly that would remove the statute of limitations on civil claims for future incidents of child sexual abuse and retroactively revive claims that are currently time-barred, no matter how long ago the alleged abuse occurred.” In an email, the Archdiocese reasons that removing the statute of limitations “greatly increases the financial harm to the Church and its ministries,” noting that some 26 dioceses “have already filed for bankruptcy caused by similar laws in other states and more are expected.” Clearly, the Catholic Church is trying to mitigate risk on future claims of its systemic child abuse.
Citing Maryland General Assembly House Bill 001 and Senate Bill 686, the Archdiocese says, “These bills treat public and private institutions differently by setting a lower ceiling on how much a public school board, for example, could be sued compared to a private institution such as a parish or non-public school. This creates two classes of survivors and greatly increases the financial harm to the Church and its ministries.” The email notes that “The Church in Maryland” already provides victims-survivors with millions in therapeutic counseling and direct financial payments as a result of their abuse and has implemented strict prevention policies. It also says that perpetrators can be criminally charged without time limitations. Read More
Will bank failures beget an American “digital gulag”?
Where could the collapse of two prominent regional banks – and the response to their failures – leave us? The Biden administration has effectively insured depositors’ entire accounts, not just the $250,000 supposedly guaranteed.
That’s obviously unsustainable if the banking industry continues to be rocked by instability. So, there is increasing speculation that the federal government will seize upon this pretext to accelerate the introduction of a Central Bank Digital Currency, and what amounts to its compulsory adoption by the American people.
When combined with Team Biden’s simultaneous efforts to empower the World Health Organization to dictate our public health policies and practices – including by globally mandating “smart” medical cards, we could shortly be condemned to what amounts to the sort of “digital gulag” the Chinese Communists call the “Social Credit System.”
We must not go there.

‘Democratic Party Icon’ Naomi Wolf Apologizes to Conservatives After Release of January 6 Footage
A “Democratic Party icon” has penned an essay apologizing to conservatives for the reaction of her former “tribe” to the release of footage from the January 6, 2021, incident at the Capitol.
Author Naomi Wolf released a post via her Substack newsletter Thursday titled “Dear Conservatives, I Apologize.” “I am sorry the nation was damaged by so much untruth issued by those with whom I identified at the time,” she wrote. She went on to note certain inconsistencies between aspects of the footage and the mainstream media narrative about the events of January 6.
I am sorry my former ‘tribe’ is angry at a journalist for engaging in — journalism,” she added.
Business Insider noted that while Wolf, “a Democratic Party icon,” has always been perceived as squarely left-of-center — having been identified with the “third-wave” feminist movement and having worked as a presidential campaign adviser to former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore — her more recent activities have put her at odds with the Democratic Party.
The outlet also noted she has “railed against vaccine passports, mandatory masks, and emergency laws” in response to COVID-era public health measures broadly supported by Democrats. (Breitbart) Read more here.
Russian fighter jet collides with US drone causing it to crash into Black Sea
A Russian fighter has collided with a US Reaper drone, forcing it down into the Black Sea, in what US forces called an “unsafe and unprofessional” intercept.
A US European Command statement said the collision happened just after 7am on Tuesday morning, when two Russian Su-27 fighter jets flew up to the MQ-9 Reaper drone over international waters west of Crimea. The statement said the Russian pilots sought to disrupt the US aircraft before the collision.
“Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner,” the US statement said. “This incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional.”
One of the Russian fighters then struck the drone’s propeller “causing US forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters”.
The Pentagon spokesman, Brig Gen Patrick Ryder, said the Russian planes were in close proximity to the drone for about half an hour, and that the Su-27 which struck it was probably damaged. “It essentially ran into the MQ-9,” Ryder said. It is believed the Russian Su-27 landed at an airbase in occupied Crimea.
Russia’s defence ministry denied there was any collision and suggested the drone, which costs up to $32m, was brought down through pilot mishandling.
The European Command statement warned: “These aggressive actions by Russian aircrew are dangerous and could lead to miscalculation and unintended escalation.”
“Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9,” Gen James Hecker, the US air force commander for Europe and Africa, said. “In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.” (The Guardian) Read more.

Disney Actor Declares Jesus His Savior Live at Awards Show
There is power in the words people speak out loud, especially in front of a young, impressionable audience like the one at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. The words that come out of a person's mouth have the power of life or death held within them. So, when an awards recipient stands up in front of an audience of millions and declares Jesus to be their Savior, they are speaking life over all who hear their words.
As Disney star Joshua Bassett of the hit show, "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," took the stage to accept the award for "Favorite Male TV star," he used the opportunity to speak life over every young person in the audience. "I'd love to thank my Savior, Jesus Christ," Bassett said. "I want to say something. There are a lot of people here who are burdened, broken-hearted, and have been beaten down by life. I'm here to tell you: for those of you who've lost hope, there's a very real God who loves you more than you will ever possibly know," Bassett continued. "His promise is peace, and my testimony is my healing. Remember: Forgive quickly, love freely and walk courageously," Bassett concluded. "Love always wins in the end."
This public confession comes on the heels of Bassett being baptized at Bethel Church and making waves in the pop culture community because of it. As reported by The Daily Wire, "The Disney star has come under scrutiny recently when videos circulated of him getting baptized at Bethel Church, a non-denominational church in Redding, California. Because Bassett has previously declared himself a member of the LGBTQ community, followers expressed their confusion over his allegiance to this church." Bassett also gave a short testimony at Bethel detailing his struggles growing up a Christian, and the new hardships that came with leaving his faith behind as a young adult.
"My name is Joshua Bassett," the actor said. "Long story short, I grew up Christian and I ran the other way, as far as I could go, in pursuit of the 'truth'.

I'm here to publicly declare him as my Lord and savior," Bassett concluded. As a member of Gen Z and the same age group as students at Asbury University who just experienced an incredible outpouring of the Lord, Bassett is another example of how his generation is looking for spiritual answers. Their questions can only be answered with Jesus Christ. Read More and watch the video>
