Trump Administration Defunds UNFPA, Which Promoted Forced Abortions in China
|
|
|
President Donald Trump’s administration recently defunded the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the group responsible for ushering in China’s notorious “one-child policy” in the 1970s. CatholicVote Director of Government Affairs Tom McClusky supported legislation defunding UNFPA. He celebrated the change, which came on Feb. 26. “UNFPA was the largest benefactor of the grift occurring at USAID, with hundreds of millions going to bolster groups promoting abortion in countries that did not want it,” McClusky stated March 14. “America needs to stop being a country that promotes the death of children overseas, to do that we need to defund UNFPA.”
UNFPA’s website states that it does not fund or perform abortions; however, it also does not “conceal information about abortions.” They state that “in countries where abortion is legal, national health systems must make safe abortion care accessible to the full extent of the law.” They also state that one of the “facts” regarding abortion is that “Women who are turned away from a desired abortion are more likely to experience long-term consequences like poverty and are less able to extricate from violent relationships — hardships that take a toll across generations.” (Lifenews) Read More Here
- Father, we rejoice in the defunding of the 'United Nations Population Fund' by the Trump Administration. We also repent before Your throne, on behalf of our country, for the past financial support given to this group. We ask that through this action of prohibiting citizens' tax dollars from being used for abortion, You would once again extend Your mercy and bring our nation back into biblical realignment. In Jesus Name we declare that Your Holy Spirit refining FIRE will fall upon the United States of America and we decree Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! In the powerful name of Yeshua- Amen and Amen.

IDF delivers swift blow: 80 Gaza targets destroyed in 10 minutes
|
|
|
The air force struck around 80 Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in approximately 10 minutes from 2:10-2:20 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
|
|
|
The IDF and the Shin Bet started at 2:10 a.m. Tuesday morning to conduct dozens of extensive air strikes specifically on mid-level Hamas commanders in Gaza and some senior Hamas political officials, but did not target senior Hamas military commanders like Mohammed Sinwar who might be holding Israeli hostages nearby.
The strikes ended a nearly two month ceasefire with Hamas since January 19 after the sides had failed for nearly three weeks to bridge disagreements about moving from Phase I of hostage negotiations to Phase II.
The air force struck around 80 Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in approximately 10 minutes from 2:10-2:20 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
In fact, most of the targets were hit in the first two minutes.
Throughout the day there were other waves of attacks.
DF sources said that this stage of the operation is still unfolding gradually in terms of how much or how little the military escalates either with more air strikes or different options for a ground invasion.
Part of the purpose of the operation was to prevent Hamas from rehabilitating its fuller scale military capabilities and structure as well as to block future potential Hamas plans to penetrate into Israel.
Around 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, IDF Arabic Spokesman Col. Avichai Adraee sent out a message to Gaza residents to move further into Gaza from the border with Israel to avoid being attacked as part of the renewed hostilities.
The red zone defined as a combat zone by the IDF wraps around all of Gaza from North to South seeming to cover between one third to one half of the Strip's area, including: Beit Hanoun, Harvat, Hazaa, and Abasan.
More specifically, the IDF said that civilians should move to the western parts of Gaza City in the north and of Khan Yunis in the South. (Jerusalem Post) Read more here.

- Holy One of Israel, we pray that You grant victory for Your beloved against these 'uncircumcised Philistines', in Jesus name. May the hostages be found alive and released without obstruction and may the people of Gaza be divided and removed to other locations before their utter destruction, in Jesus name. We declare that Hamas will be destroyed and never reconstitute itself again, in Jesus name.
- "When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, 'If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.' While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared." (Esther 6:13-14)

Trump on Putin Call: We Agreed to ‘Immediate’ Energy, Infrastructure Ceasefire; ‘Many Elements’ of Possible Peace Deal Discussed
|
|
|
President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an immediate ceasefire on infrastructure and energy in the Ukraine War.
Trump took to Truth Social to relay that his and Putin’s conversation, which lasted more than two hours, “was a very good and productive one.”
“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine,” he wrote.
The Kremlin said Putin had “responded positively” to the proposal of a 30-day energy infrastructure ceasefire “and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order,” according to a translation.
Negotiations around a Black Sea maritime ceasefire and a full ceasefire are set to begin immediately in the Middle East, as noted in a statement by the White House.
“Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end,” he wrote. (Breitbart) Read more here.

- HalleluJah! We rejoice over continued movement forward towards peace in this terrible conflict. We pray for continued agreements that will bring both sides to the table, bringing the bloodshed to an end, in Jesus name. We pray that Putin and Zelenskyy both are willing to make the concessions necessary to advance the peace agreement. We pray also for enforcement elements that will remain in place in order to see the peace last for a very long time, in Jesus name. We pray blessings upon President Trump as he works to bring these two warring factions to agreement, in the light of Christ. Amen.
- "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," (Ephesians 2:4-6)

Trump administration has noon deadline to disclose deportation flight details after judge's order
|
|
|
A federal judge set a noon Tuesday deadline for the Trump administration to submit detailed information about the deportation flight, or flights, it conducted over the weekend that sent Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador, amid questions over whether the administration knowingly defied an earlier court order to halt any planned removals of Venezuelan migrants for a period of 14 days.
During a fact-finding hearing Monday evening, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to submit more information on the flight, which transported hundreds of migrants to El Salvador, including Venezuelan nationals targeted for removal under the 1798 wartime-era Alien Enemies Act. Judge Boasberg had granted an emergency order to temporarily block the flights from taking place for 14 days while the court considered the legality of using wartime immigration law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals and alleged members of the violent gang Tren de Aragua.
During Monday's hearing, which lasted about 45 minutes, Judge Boasberg asked the government lawyers to submit information on how planes departed the U.S. on Saturday that were carrying any people who were deported "solely on the basis" of that proclamation, how many individuals were on each plane, where the planes landed and what time each plane took off from the U.S., and from where.
"My orders don’t seem to carry much weight," Judge Boasberg said near the end of the hearing. Both parties are due back in court Friday for a hearing over the Trump administration's request to vacate the case. During the hearing, the Trump administration repeatedly declined to provide information to Boasberg about how many flights carrying migrants took off on Saturday, citing national security protections.
"Those are operational issues, and I am not at liberty to provide information," a lawyer for the Trump administration told the court. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Mighty King, we pray for victory over injustice in this matter and we thank You for the firm stance of the Trump Administration against judicial tyranny, in Jesus name. It seems evident to all that President Trump has the right and responsibility to protect this nation from all evil-doers, and it is incomprehensible how one judge can seek to overrule both the president and the protection of our nation. We pray Father, for this judge to be replaced and the matter resolved according to the law and not according to hidden interests, in Jesus name.
- "Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand." (Micah 2:1)

San Francisco Pride takes financial hit after major companies pull sponsorships amid DEI fallout
|
|
|
Comcast, Anheuser-Busch reportedly cut funding for annual LGBTQ event
|
|
|
The organizers of San Francisco Pride (SF Pride) shared financial concerns due to major companies pulling funding this year.
SF Pride executive director Suzanne Ford said that the show will still go on, but organizers are going to have to make do with a smaller budget. Ford expressed suspicion this was part of a wave of businesses distancing themselves from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs under the Trump administration.
"I'm very concerned. Obviously, there's pressure from the federal government," Ford told a local FOX affiliate.
"The tone has changed in this country. Businesses already hedge their bets, and I think people who, this isn't their hard core value of their corporation, maybe they're rethinking their investment," Ford said. (Fox News) Read more here

- Thank You Jesus for this turn-around of corporate sponsorship of this unholy alliance. We pray for other funding sources to also walk away from this program and that their money would be spent on something like mental health issues or feeding the hungry or the like, in San Francisco, in Jesus name. We continue to speak collapse to the DEI / LGBTQ agenda and a lifting up of the love and redemption of Jesus Christ in its place, in Jesus name.
- "Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: "Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep."

1. Netanyahu: ''From now on, negotiations will only take place under fire'
- Israel National News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation from the Kirya in Tel Aviv this evening (Tuesday), following the surprise airstrikes launched by the IAF against the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip early this morning.
"We returned to fighting with strength, on the recommendation of security officials," Netanyahu stated.
"This is just the beginning. We will continue to fight to achieve the goals of the war and the promise that Gaza will not pose a threat to Israel," he said. "From now on, negotiations will only take place under fire."
"We extended the ceasefire in the weeks in which we did not receive any hostages, we sent delegations to Doha, we accepted the proposal of US envoy Witkoff, but on the other hand Hamas rejected every proposal. I accepted the recommendation of the IDF and the security establishment to return to fighting," he added. (Read more)

2. Ceasefire over as Israel strikes Gaza after Hamas refused to release hostages, officials say - Fox News
Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip eliminated the head of the Hamas government and other key terrorist leaders in a wave of violence following the collapse of their ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces announced Tuesday.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA), also known as Shin Bet, said in a joint statement that the airstrikes eliminated Essam al-Da'alis, head of the Hamas government and "the most senior figure of authority in the Gaza Strip."
"Essam al-Da'alis replaced Rawhi Mushtaha in this position after he was eliminated in July 2024. In his role, al-Da'alis was responsible for the functioning of Hamas' terror regime in the Gaza Strip and oversaw the integration of all of Hamas’ branches in Gaza and their use for terrorist purposes," the statement said.

4. IDF eliminates head of Hamas government and three other senior officials in Gaza - World Israel News
The IDF confirmed on Tuesday that it eliminated four out of six of the most senior Hamas officials in Gaza, including the head of the government, Essam al-Da’alis.
The other three who were killed were identified as Mahmoud Abu Watfa, director-general of Hamas’s Interior Ministry, Bahjat Abu Sultan, operational chief of Hamas’s internal security, and Hamas’s justice minister Ahmed Omar al-Hatta.
It is possible that all six were eliminated, but the fate of two others has not been confirmed.
Essam al-Da’alis had replaced Rawhi Mushtaha as head of the Hamas government after the latter was eliminated in July 2024. (Read more)

1. Trump declares Biden's 'autopen' pardons for J6 committee, Fauci, others are 'VOID' - The Blaze
President Donald Trump declared early Monday morning that Joe Biden's pardons are "VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT," suggesting that the former president did not sign them or "know anything about them."
While the potential voidance of Biden's pardons could spell trouble for Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the Biden clan, and others with troubled pasts, Trump indicated that former members of the House Jan. 6 select committee — including Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) — are his favorites to reap the whirlwind.
"Those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level," Trump noted on Truth Social.
Earlier this month, the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project revealed that Biden's signature on numerous executive orders, pardons, and other documents of national consequence was apparently machine-generated. The watchdog group indicated that with the exception of Biden's announcement concerning his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, "every document" researchers could find "used the same autopen signature." (Read more)

- Father, we call forth justice upon this matter so that everyone involved in signing executive documents for personal or corporate gain, benefit or to advance an agenda, will be prosecuted and the effects of the autopen signatures will be revoked, in Jesus name. We pray for a strong and righteous response to this matter and we ask You Holy One to reveal all the information necessary to bring forward substantiated indictments. We call for whistle-blowers and truth-tellers to be found and protected, and we declare honest judges in the court cases, in Jesus name.
- "'Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,'" says the Lord. (Obadiah 4)

2. BOOM: Laura Loomer Uncovers an Enormous Taxpayer-Funded Conflict of Interest Involving Obama Judge Who Ordered Trump Admin to Stop Deporting Criminal Aliens Mid-Flight and HIS OWN DAUGHTER - The Gateway Pundit
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama issued an ’emergency’ injunction Saturday night ordering planes already in the air to turn back mid-flight to prevent the deportation of Tren De Agua members to El Salvador.
The case was brought by the Marxist, America-hating ACLU and Democracy Forward.
But the order came too late. Two flights from the U.S. carrying nearly 300 Venezuelan and other gang members landed in El Salvador despite Judge James Boasberg’s emergency order. This prompted a mocking reply from the country’s president, Nayib Bukele.
Now, independent journalist Laura Loomer discovered a massive conflict of interest between Boasberg and his own daughter. It turns out Katherine Boasberg, the daughter, works for a far-left organization called Partners for Justice that opposes “mass incarceration” of violent criminals and strongly opposes deporting illegals, including violent felons.
Unsurprisingly, Katherine Boasberg is so woke she has pronouns in her bio.
From Loomer:
I have exclusively uncovered a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST involving Judge James Boasberg, the Chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Boasberg recently made the decision to prevent the deportation of criminal illegal alien gang members on planes out of the country.
The Judge has a daughter named Katherine Boasberg, who works for a 501(c)(3) organization called Partners for Justice as a “capacity-building associate.” In her position, she helps coordinate and administer grant activities, ensure compliance, and support the delivery of capacity-building programs to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure.

- Father God, it seems that corruption, unrighteousness and illicit deeds are becoming standard operations within the judicial system as we look at the persistent oppositional attacks against President Trump's efforts to defend our nation and fulfill his responsibilities and we repudiate these efforts, in Jesus name. Holy King, we declare righteousness and justice upon every single judge that is serving him or herself at the expense of the citizens of this nation. We pray for divine strategies to see the judicial corruption be stopped and removed and for true, Godly justice to be implemented throughout our nation's court system, in Jesus name.
- "and said to the judges, 'Take heed to what you are doing for you do not judge for man but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes.'" (2 Chronicles 19:6-7)

3. Conservative Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman on Waste Uncovered by DOGE at Education Department: ‘Money Laundering at its Absolute Best’ (VIDEO) - The Gateway Pundit
Conservative Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming recently appeared on Winston Marshall’s podcast and talked about the waste, fraud and abuse that’s being uncovered by DOGE.
Using the Education Department as one example, Hageman pointed out that while the department gets billions in tax dollars, very little of that money actually goes towards educating students. Where does the rest of it go?
Hageman suggests that it goes to consultants and then gets funneled back to politicians. She comes right out and calls this a form of money-laundering.
From Real Clear Politics:
WINSTON MARSHALL: So, is the DOGE program targeted at these bureaucrats? And so, how — what can you expect?
REP. HARRIET HAGEMAN: Well, let’s look at the Department of Education. The Federal Department of Education spends — has a budget of about $280 billion a year. Less than 25% goes to educating our students. (Read more)
|
|
- Thank You Father for exposing how the money flow takes place and allowing us to see that it's really not that deeply hidden, but can be found with the right type of resources and understanding. We pray for Rep Hageman to continue investigating unrighteous actions and pray that she and the others will bring forth speedy and effective solutions to the corrupt movement of money around our government, in Jesus name. We pray for a hedge of protection over all DOGE teams and members of Congress, in Jesus name.
- "Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds, My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart. God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day." (Psalm 7:9-11)

4. Natalie Winters Brings the Receipts: Soros-Funded Group Indivisible is PAYING Far-Left Activists to Protest at Tesla Dealerships - The Gateway Pundit
For weeks now Democrat Party proxy groups have been violently protesting at Tesla dealerships around the country.
Democrats are outraged that President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and his DOGE team have found over $100 billion in waste and fraud in the US government and they are shutting down the Democrat Party’s money machine at USAID.
On Monday, War Room White House reporter Natalie Winters revealed the Soros group behind the violent protests at US Tesla dealerships.
Natalie Winters actually brought the receipts.
Indivisible is reimbursing the violent mobs for the costs of advertising.
The groups are specifically targeting Elon Musk, a US citizen, and his car dealerships.
How is this legal? (Read more)

- Father God, we pray for more and more exposure of the many levels of unrighteous activity involved in the attacks of Teslas. May prosecutions be forthcoming and the perpetrators be brought to justice. We pray for the citizens who own these cars and those who are re-thinking their plans because of these unrighteous attacks. We bind and rebuke these evil-doers and command them to stop the attacks, in Jesus name. Holy King, please quell these violent acts, according to Your righteousness. Amen.
- "Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You." (Psalm 55:22-23)

5. Tina Peters hopes for pardon negotiations, while governor's office calls idea of Trump quid pro quo 'repugnant'- 9news.com
Former Republican Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is suggesting "negotiations" could secure her release from jail, where she is serving the first portion of a nine-year sentence for breaching voting systems in an unsuccessful attempt to prove President Donald Trump's 2020 election fraud claims.
Speaking via video call at the Larimer County Jail, Peters, who is just months into her sentence, indicated that allies have reached out to the Trump administration on her behalf. However, she said she has personally not had any conversation with Trump officials while incarcerated.
"I know there are other people out there that have reached out to Trump on my behalf," Peters said.
Peters was convicted of state-level crimes, so President Trump cannot pardon her. Colorado Democrat Governor Jared Polis is essentially the only person who can. (Read more)
|
|
- Just Judge, we declare vindication and release for Tina Peters, in the mighty name of Jesus. If necessary Father, we pray that all evil-doers against her are removed from their positions and replaced with God-fearing people instead, so that there will be mercy and righteousness extended to this persecuted former county clerk, in Jesus name. Holy King, we cannot stand by while one woman is cruelly imprisoned and another woman committing the same crime (or worse) is rewarded. This kind of injustice is intolerable and we bind it and every unrighteous deed in this matter, in Jesus name.
- "Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to make my steps stumble. The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah. I said to the Lord: 'You are my God; Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord. O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle." (Psalm 140:4-7)

6. Trump Continues Fight Against Abortion Extremism - Newsmax
President Trump’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to force emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortion was a prudent one and it served to further underscore his belief that regulation of abortion is the job of individual states.
The suit asked whether the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) should supersede Idaho law protecting most babies from abortion by allowing the procedure if a mother’s life is in jeopardy.
But Idaho law already allows abortion to save the life of the mother, making the EMTALA challenge just another example of the abortion extremists in the Biden administration looking for every nook and cranny where they might be able to shoehorn in a right to abortion.
Biden’s administration was marked by several blatant attempts to work around abortion law. (Read more)

|
|
- This is such encouraging news to know that President Trump is dismantling the Biden and his autopen agenda to re-implement the abortion agenda on individual states, particularly those which are pro-life. We pray for a continued intervention against the overreach into states' authority in this matter and also pray for the voice of the unheard to resound across the land of each state and that legislatures would all work to protect the most innocent, in Jesus name.
- "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13)

Constitutional Crisis
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 18, 2025
For weeks now the Democratic Party and Marxist media have been screaming at the top of their lungs that America is in a “Constitutional Crisis” because of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They are using the argument that the President is outside of the Constitution because he appointed Musk to head up DOGE, which is not a government agency authorized by Congress. In none of the words they are using do they cite what is a violation of the Constitution. The media and Democrats are twisting the truth and misleading the American people about Musk’s advisory role with DOGE and the President’s authority to hold government accountable. Maybe they all should study the Constitution.
Article II Section 2 says the President “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices,” which seems that he has authority over the actions of executive departments.” Article II Section 3 charges the President with taking care “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.” Meaning that the president has authority to uphold the law (which also means he can hold accountability on waste and corruption) and oversee the appointed officers of the country. In short, he is the chief executive officer responsible for running the country. Read More

SpaceX Dragon capsule sticks splashdown landing as NASA astronauts return home after months stuck in space
|
|
|
Astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Suni Williams had been living on the ISS for over 9 months
|
|
|
A pair of NASA astronauts, who were stranded in space for more than nine months, returned to Earth on Tuesday, landing in the Gulf of America off Tallahassee, Florida, bringing an end to an unforeseen odyssey.
Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 62, and Suni Williams, 59, returned home after a new crew replaced them and two other astronauts reached the International Space Station (ISS) over the weekend.
The four-person Crew-10 carried by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft early on Sunday met up with the ISS, where Wilmore and Williams had been living since their planned roughly week-long mission in June 2024 turned into a much longer one.
"On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home," radioed SpaceX Mission Control in California.
"What a ride," replied NASA astronaut Nick Hague, the capsule’s commander.
NASA said it aimed for Crew-9, also comprised of Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov in addition to Wilmore and Williams, to make its return to Earth on Tuesday evening.
The crew was "grinning ear to ear" upon their return, Hague said. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we can only shout "GLORY" to this successful mission, and WELCOME HOME to these dedicated astronauts. Thank You, Abba God, for bringing them home safely. Amen and amen.
