Nikki Haley drops out of 2024 race, ending challenge against Trump for GOP presidential nomination
|
|
Thirteen months after she launched her 2024 Republican presidential campaign in Charleston, South Carolina, Nikki Haley ended her White House bid.
The former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in former President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday morning announced "the time has now come to suspend my campaign."
"I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done it. I have no regrets. And although I will no longer be a candidate, I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in," Haley said as she spoke at her presidential campaign headquarters on Daniel Island, in her hometown of Charleston.
But Haley did not immediately endorse Trump, who is on course to clinch the GOP presidential nomination in the next week or two. Read more

- Abba, we are grateful for Nikki Haley's courage and stamina to stay in the race for President until Tuesday night. We ask you to bless her, to bring healing to any places in her heart that have been bruised through all that comes with a political run for office. We ask Holy Spirit to give her a vision of how you see her, how she was created and prepared for a time such as this. We ask for your peace to cover her, her family and all that worked on her campaign. Pour out your love over all who need a refreshing, healing touch from you. We ask this in the name Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Who Heals both in body and soul.
- "And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

Everything you need to know about Katie Britt, the senator giving the SOTU GOP response
|
|
|
At 42, Britt is one of the youngest members of the Senate
|
|
Alabama Sen. Katie Britt has accepted the task of delivering the Republican response to President Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday, saying in a statement she was "truly honored and grateful for the opportunity."
Britt said she plans to put "hardworking parents and families" at the center of her remarks in order to demonstrate their important role within the Republican Party.
But who is Katie Britt?
At 42, Britt is one of the youngest members of the Senate. She was elected two years ago during the 2022 midterms and, upon her swearing-in, became not only Alabama’s first elected female senator, but also the youngest Republican woman to serve in the upper chamber.
She graduated from both the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama School of Law before becoming a practicing attorney. Britt and her husband have two children, Bennett and Ridgeway, whom they raise in Montgomery.
In Britt's capacity as senator, she serves as ranking member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.
"At this decisive moment in our country’s history, it’s time for the next generation to step up and preserve the American Dream for our children and our grandchildren," she said in a statement responding to her announcement as the rebuttal speaker.
"Katie Britt is the absolute best face the GOP could put forward," said Republican strategist Doug Heye. According to him, she, "as a smart, well-spoken mom of two school-aged kids" is the best person to deliver the party's vision.
Fellow Republican strategist John Feehery echoed this point, noting Britt is "smart, young, attractive," and a contrast to "White males who usually speak on behalf of the party." (Fox News) Read more here.

- Abba, we thank you for Senator Katie Britt being the Republican chosen to respond to President Biden's State of the Union Address tonight. We ask, Holy Spirit, to guide and direct Senator Britt and all her staff as they put together the ideas and thoughts you bring to their minds. We ask for your peace and confidence as they work through this process, create a sense of calm and purpose as you provide the understanding of how all the concepts fit together and the needed words surrounding them. Jesus, let your presence bring blessing and assurance that you are there and active in these circumstances. We ask this in the name Jehovah Jireh, The Lord Will Provide.
- "It is better to trust in the Lord Than to
put confidence in man;
It is better to trust in the Lord Than to
put confidence in princes."
(Psalm 118:8-9)

1. State commission finds Netanyahu personally responsible for deadly Meron disaster - Times of Israel
A state commission of inquiry has found Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally responsible for the April 2021 Mount Meron disaster, in which 45 people were killed in a crush at the hilltop gravesite of a second-century sage in northern Israel despite numerous safety warnings ahead of time.
However, the inquest offers no operative recommendation for Netanyahu. (Read more)

2. Likud accuses former Bennett-Lapid government of using Meron tragedy as ‘political weapon’ against Netanyahu -Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party accuses former prime ministers Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett of turning the 2021 Mount Meron disaster “into a political weapon” against Netanyahu, after a state commission of inquiry found him personally responsible for the incident, in which dozens of Jewish pilgrims people were trampled to death.
“The Meron disaster is a tragedy. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims. In practice, the government has already implemented necessary conclusions” and last year’s pilgrimage was carried out without incident, a Likud spokesman says in a statement promising to “examine the need to draw additional operational lessons to prevent the recurrence of a disaster of this kind.”
“However, we are sorry that for the first time in the country’s history, the government headed by Bennett and Lapid established a commission of inquiry against its predecessor on the political right, and that a key member of the commission is Lapid’s associate, Shlomo Yanai, who received an offer from him for a place on the Yesh Atid list for the Knesset,” the spokesman alleged.

3. Samaria checkpoint to open tomorrow first time since 10/7 - Israel National News
After five months, the IDF has decided to open the Jit checkpoint to Arab traffic starting tomorrow.
The checkpoint, which is one of the main exits from Nablus [Shechem], has been completely closed and secured by soldiers since the beginning of the war, as it served as an escape route for terrorists who left the city freely, carried out terrorist attacks and fled back to Nablus.
The questionable decision comes only a day and a half after a stabbing attack at the Yitzhar junction nearby, in which an IDF soldier was seriously wounded, and after a series of shooting attacks and other terrorist incidents that took place near Homesh, only a few kilometers away.
The decision to remove the checkpoint drew strong criticism from communities in the area, but also from the soldiers themselves who serve in the area and have secured the checkpoint to date. One of the commanders who has been serving in the area since October 7th, strongly criticized the decision this evening, saying, "It is unbelievable that we have given our lives since Oct. 7th, and they now they are willing to endanger us for the qsake of the Palestinians’ convenience."

4. Gallant: Hamas cannot continue to exist as terror army or regime - JNS
Hamas cannot be allowed to continue to exist as a political regime or terrorist-military entity, and Israel will pursue them “everywhere, across all of Judea and Samaria, in the Middle East—everywhere,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed on Wednesday.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s terrorists walking with uniforms and weapons, or those who wear suits and pretend to be politicians—all of them,” he emphasized in an apparent reference to both Hamas’s terror operatives in the Gaza Strip and overseas leaders.
“This murderous entity called Hamas will be pursued by the State of Israel—its warriors, everywhere, in every way. We are at the end of a period and at the beginning of a period; the trajectory that we set in these days will be the one that leads us years forward and the way we live in the Middle East,” he said.

5. Hamas appears to reject deal as mediators said pursuing days-long pause to build trust - Times of Israel
The Hamas terror group appeared on Wednesday to reject the latest Israeli offer for a temporary ceasefire that will include a hostage deal and the freeing of Palestinian prisoners, as mediators reportedly began a push for a short-term pause in fighting for a few days to build trust between the sides.
In a statement to the press, Hamas said Israel has refused to meet the group’s demands for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of troops from the Gaza Strip, the return of displaced Gazans to their homes in the north and “provisions for the needs of our people.”
Despite laying out what appear to be many of its original demands, the terror group claimed it showed the “required flexibility” in talks. (Read more)

6. Hezbollah fires heavy rocket barrage at Kiryat Shmona after IDF strikes in Lebanon -Times of Israel
The Lebanese Hezbollah terror group fired a large barrage of rockets at the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona on Tuesday evening, in what it said was a response to a deadly Israel Defense Forces airstrike in southern Lebanon earlier in the day.
According to the IDF, some 30 rockets were fired at Kiryat Shmona, with at least 10 of the projectiles being successfully intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
One rocket struck the yard of a home in the nearby community of Kfar Blum, causing minor damage, local authorities said. (Read more)

1. Congress unveils first six budget bills as government shutdown clock ticks - CNBC
Congressional lawmakers on Sunday released the details of the first six budget bills needed to keep government agencies funded before they run out of money and a partial government shutdown takes effect this coming weekend. The 1,050-page appropriations package has funding for six major areas of government that encompass military and veterans affairs departments, agriculture, commerce, energy and water, transportation, housing, and more.
The other six appropriations bills that keep the rest of the government funded are due to expire March 22, giving Capitol Hill just over two weeks to negotiate the other half of the government’s spending plan.
The funding package now heads to the House for a vote where it will likely face opposition from the House Freedom Caucus, a coalition of Republican hard-liners who have relentlessly opposed budget compromises over the past fiscal year. (Read more)

2. CVS, Walgreens to begin selling abortion pill this month - Reuters
CVS and Walgreens, the two largest U.S. pharmacy chains, will start selling abortion pill mifepristone at stores in several states this month, drawing praise from President Joe Biden who has made access to abortion a key election campaign issue.
The announcement Friday comes as a legal challenge to the pill, brought in Texas by anti-abortion groups and doctors, was due to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court this month. The court ended its recognition of a constitutional right to abortion in 2022 when it overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent.
Biden, calling the decision a milestone, encouraged interested pharmacies to seek certification to dispense the drugs. In a statement, Biden said the stakes could not be higher for women across America, and cited "relentless attacks on reproductive freedom by Republican elected officials." (Read more)

|
|
- Lord God, as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments related to this pill, we pray they will listen fairly and rule rightly in this case so that life will be protected. More importantly, Lord, we pray for the killing of children through any type of abortion to stop. We pray Christians will stand up for life and that all would rise to the standard of protecting the innocent. In Jesus' name, amen.
- “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?” (Proverbs 24:11-12)

> > > A footnote from the Justice House of Prayer in Washington, D.C.
On March 26th, the Supreme Court will be hearing FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. This case will greatly affect abortion for years to come. It will affect who can prescribe, how far into a pregnancy it can be given, and if it can be shipped in the mail without ever seeing a doctor. The reality is, that even if your state has banned abortions, because of the current protocols for mifepristone, abortions are still taking place in every state. Will you join with us in praying from 9-11am on March 26th, 2024 for this case and until the opinion is released in June?
If you are in Washington DC on March 26th, please join us as we pray on site at the Court from 9-11am. If you have any questions, or are planning to join, feel free to reach out to Dan at daniel@jhopdc.com

3. McConnell announces who he will support for president - DML News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who announced last week that he will step down from his leadership role at the end of the year, released a statement Wednesday morning formally endorsing former President Donald Trump in his race to reclaim the Oval Office.
McConnell, 82, has been extremely critical of Trump over the last three years, but now has acknowledged Trump as the ultimate Republican nominee and confirmed he will support him.
“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support. (Read more)

4. Biden administration ADMITS flying 320,000 migrants secretly into the U.S. (to reduce the number of crossings at the border) has national security 'vulnerabilities' - Daily Mail
Joe Biden's administration has admitted transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'.
Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly arranging flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities.
It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country. Use of a cell phone app has allowed for the near undetected arrival by air of 320,000 aliens with no legal rights to enter the United States. It comes after a controversy over a 2022 transportation program in which the administration used taxpayers money to move migrants throughout the country on overnight flights. (Read more)

5. Florida bills would allow Satanic priests to serve as volunteer chaplains in public schools - Fox News
Florida lawmakers are proposing two bills that, if passed, could allow for Satanic priests to serve as volunteer chaplains in public schools. The companion bills — Senate Bill 1044 and House Bill 931 — would give schools the ability to choose which volunteer chaplains can provide counseling services to students.
Under the bill, each school could adopt a policy authorizing volunteer school chaplains to provide support services and programs for students. The bill also requires principals of schools with volunteer school chaplains to inform all parents of the services, while also requiring written parental consent before students participate or receive the services.
Schools would be required to provide parents with a list of volunteers who have undergone a complete background check. The parents would then be able to select a chaplain of their choosing from the list. (Read more)

6. Dean Phillips ends presidential campaign and endorses Biden - NBC News
Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota has suspended his campaign for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, ending his long-shot bid for the White House.
"I'm going to suspend my campaign and I will be, right now, endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear," he said in a Minnesota radio interview on WCCO’s “The Chad Hartman Show.”
"The alternative, Donald Trump, is a very dangerous, dangerous man," he continued. "I would simply ask and invite and encourage Haley supporters, Trump supporters, uncommitted supporters to unify behind decency and integrity."
He said, "That means supporting Joe Biden, and I’m going to do that beginning right now," adding that he's going to "do everything humanly possible to ensure Joe Biden’s re-election this November because it’s that existential." Phillips, 55, launched his campaign challenging Biden in October. The three-term congressman said he had to run against the leader of his party because he argued Biden would lose to former President Donald Trump in the general election in November. (Read more)

7. Supreme Court to hear arguments in Trump presidential immunity case on April 25 - Fox News
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case on April 25. The Supreme Court last week agreed it would review whether Trump has immunity from prosecution in Smith’s case and said it would fast-track the appeal.
A ruling from the high court is expected by late June. Trump’s criminal trial has been put on hold pending resolution on the matter.
Trump and his legal team, in requesting the Supreme Court review the issue of presidential immunity, said that "if the prosecution of a President is upheld, such prosecutions will recur and become increasingly common, ushering in destructive cycles of recrimination."

Stupidocrisy: Of Flakes And Fruit Loops
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 6, 2024
Biden Administration fiscal policies have driven inflation upwards of nearly 18%, according to the February 14 Consumer Price Index. This has prompted Fox Business news and the Republican House Conference to project that “Bidenomics” is costing the average American household about $1,019 per month more than when Biden took office. Even CBS News reported back in November 2023, “The typical American household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021, right before inflation soared to 40-year highs, according to a recent analysis of government data.” This is not lost on the flakes and fruit loops of corporate America.
In a recent CNBC interview, Kellogg CEO Gary Pilnick said he believes the inflationary trend is an opportunity for people impacted by inflation to eat cereal for dinner. Pilnick, worth some $15.7 million, probably hasn’t eaten cereal for dinner since his college days if even then. He said, “The cereal category has always been quite affordable, and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure. Some of the things that we’re doing is, first, messaging. We have to reach the consumer where they are. So we’re advertising about cereal for dinner. If you think about the cost of cereal for a family versus what they might otherwise do, that’s going to be much more affordable…The price of a bowl of cereal with milk and fruit is less than a dollar.” That’s a pretty small bowl, according to today’s prices.

Judges improperly enhanced sentences of more than 100 Jan 6 rioters, appeals court rules
|
|
|
|
Judges may have improperly applied federal sentencing guidelines to more than 100 people convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, a federal court ruled Friday.
A three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Justice Department’s argument that convicted rioters merited lengthier prison sentences for interfering in the “administration of justice” when they stormed the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
“[T]he phrase ‘administration of justice’ does not encompass Congress’s role in the electoral certification process,” Judge Patricia Millett wrote in the court’s unanimous ruling.
“[T]ext, context, and commentary show that ‘administration of justice’ refers to judicial, quasi-judicial, and adjunct investigative proceedings, but does not extend to the unique congressional function of certifying electoral college votes,” she added.
“Administration of justice” enhancements are typically reserved for defendants who disrupt judicial proceedings, such as a courtroom trial or grand jury investigation.
However, prosecutors routinely asked DC judges to apply the enhancement to individuals convicted of participating in the riot at the Capitol.
More than 100 rioters have had “administration of justice” enhancements applied to their sentences, Patricia Hartman, a spokesperson for the DC US Attorney’s Office, told the Associated Press.
The imprisoned rioters who had their sentences enhanced may push for new, lighter sentences if the appeals court ruling stands. (MSN.com)

- Holy One, we give You praise for pushing open these doors of justice on behalf of our J6 political prisoners. We know this is the first step in the right direction for citizens who have been given excessive and likely unjust sentences for misdemeanors, but we will stand strong for the truth to be shouted from the housetops. We pray for every one of these cases to be quickly and fairly re-evaluated and may every judge be compelled to be honorable in their assessments, in Jesus' name.
- "Then he said to the judges, 'Consider carefully what you do, for you are not judging for man, but for the Lord, who is with you when you render judgment. And now, may the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful what you do, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.'" (2 Chronicles 19:6-7)

Can America win a major war today? Here's what most in U.S. military say
|
|
|
|
Across most branches of the U.S. military, recruitment numbers continue to plummet. As is widely known, lack of trust in senior military leadership as well as "woke" ideology now plague America’s armed forces. But the ultimate question remains: Can the U.S. still win wars?
To find out what the rank and file of the United States military believe in 2024 about fighting a major war against a near-peer threat, this writer conducted an informal survey, at random, of over 200 current members of the U.S. military.
When asked if the U.S. could win a war against a near-peer threat like China, Iran, North Korea or Russia, 188 of the survey’s 229 participants replied "No."
WND interviewed one participant in the survey, on the condition of anonymity due to concern over reprisals. Emphasizing that his views don’t reflect those of the Department of Defense or Department of the Army, Sgt. First Class (SFC) Robbie Barnes (a pseudonym) admitted he is "not overly confident" the United States could win a war against a foreign adversary.
"There’s a good chance we could win, but it would come at a great cost," he explained, referring to the loss of life in combat.
Ten to 15 years ago," Barnes said, "we could have won any war in the world, but I've lost a great deal of confidence in our superiority in conflict over the last decade." His change of faith can be attributed to well-known issues surrounding recruiting and retention.
"Recruiting numbers are down more than ever, and [service members] are leaving the military because they see the direction we’ve gone since the Obama administration," he said. Progressive policies have repeatedly been blamed for the military’s recruiting shortfall. (WND.com) Read more here.

Tornado Alley may roar to life as the severe weather season ramps up in US
|
|
|
The 2024 severe weather season will be much different than 2023, and one part of the season is jumping out to AccuWeather meteorologists as the time to watch for intense tornadoes.
The risk of damaging thunderstorms and tornadoes is rising across the United States as severe weather season begins to ramp up, and it could prove to be much different than last year.
AccuWeather's team of long-range forecasters, led by Senior Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, is warning that it could be a slow start to the severe weather season, but it will escalate after reaching the midway point.
How many tornadoes will touch down in 2024?
Last year's severe weather season was flipped on its head, with 206 tornadoes touching down in March, more than double the monthly historical average of 80 and higher than the number of twisters that were observed in April or May. The majority of tornadoes struck areas outside of the traditional Tornado Alley, especially in March and April when severe weather focused on areas from the Midwest through the Tennessee Valley.
A much different story is likely to unfold this year. Read More

'A Harvest of Souls' in Record Response to the Gospel Along US Southern Border
|
|
EAGLE PASS, Texas – Along the U.S. southern border, record numbers of people are responding to the Gospel. It's part of a 10-city evangelistic tour by Franklin Graham that's ministering to those hard-hit by the border crisis. In an interview aboard his tour bus in Eagle Pass, Graham told CBN News that last year he felt the Lord prompting him to preach in the many border communities that are struggling. "This is kind of a forgotten part of the United States," he said. "You have cartel people who take advantage and smugglers that take advantage and you've got just good people that live here that get caught in the middle of all of this stuff and they have to deal with it."
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is reporting a record number of responses to the Gospel invitation so far on the tour, surpassing any response the organization has seen since 2019. Graham's "God Loves You Frontera Tour" began Feb. 24, in Brownsville, Texas, and concludes Mar. 9, in Chula Vista, California. It includes stops in McAllen, Texas; Laredo, Texas; Eagle Pass, Texas; Del Rio, Texas; Presidio, Texas; El Paso, Texas and Tucson, Arizona. "We've had a higher response to the Gospel invitation here than anywhere else I've preached in the United States," said Graham. "People are hungry and they're hurting. They're hungry for truth."

Crown Him With Many Crowns
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Matthew Bridges
Music: George Elvey
Scripture: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. Revelation 19:12
Lyrics:
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee;
And hail Him as thy matchless king
Through all eternity!
Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of Heav’n,
Enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the king to whom is giv’n
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns,
As thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
