Congress Votes This Week To Defund the WHO...
|
|
A vote is scheduled this week on language that would block funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). Congress urgently needs to hear from you to vote against the WHO. Why? Because in almost every measure of global health care, Ethiopia ranks near last. Yet Joe Biden is RACING to give Ethiopia's former disgraced health minister control over our U.S. health care. Over your health. This is not about health care ... this is about tyranny and control.
The head of the WHO is under a cloud of suspicion because of hundreds of accusations that he is guilty of crimes against humanity. And unless Congress steps in NOW, Joe Biden will sign away our sovereignty and our freedom. Biden will put a failed Third World health director in complete control of our American medical system. I’ll share below just how bad this is.
A vote on a bill to defund the WHO has been moved to this week. With the new U.S. House Speaker, my friend, Mike Johnson, we have an excellent opportunity to stop the Biden-WHO takeover. — Mat Staver; Liberty Counsel Action

The WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus should NOT be in a position of power over anyone.
Ethiopia's then-public health minister, Tedros, was forced to admit he publicly lied about his government’s role in killing more than 700 peaceful harvest festival attendees in 2016.
Tedros' party caused controversy when armed soldiers stormed the stage of an opposing tribe's harvest festival, firing tear gas and machine guns at festival goers. Then-Foreign Minister Tedros declared that there was "no shooting" and that his party's "police" were "unarmed," despite videos and pictures of the event that showed civilian bodies riddled with bullets.
This was only one of many acts of the party that Tedros oversaw, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), a U.S. State Department-designated terror group.
Beginning in 1991, the TPLF ruled Ethiopia for the better part of three decades with a bloody and iron fist. But when the Ethiopian people found out the truth, they revolted shortly after the festival massacre, forcing Tedros and his cronies from power.
Now Biden is fighting to put this same person, Tedros, in power over the whole world and all of our resources. This is like turning over a herd of lambs to the wolves themselves! (Liberty Counsel Action) Read more here.

- Lord God, these organizations have failed, and have proven to be dishonest when it comes to world health, and what is safe for all citizens. So we just declare that our dollars and money from Congress would not fund these organizations that have been dishonest and irresponsible. We thank you that funding will go elsewhere to improve the lives of citizens all over the world in Jesus name amen.

Rolling Blackouts Could Impact South Again This Winter, Report Cautions
|
|
As winter approaches, concerns about the reliability of the electric grid in the southern United States have been raised, especially after the rolling blackouts experienced last year.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC's) 2023–2024 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA) released earlier this month provides a comprehensive view of the potential challenges and readiness of the bulk power system (BPS) for the upcoming winter season.
This assessment is a crucial tool for informing industry leaders, planners, operators, and regulatory bodies about the potential risks and necessary actions to ensure reliable power supply during the winter months.
“This forecast again shows that our nation faces looming grid reliability challenges while demand for electricity continues to soar,” NERC CEO and former U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson said in a press release. “That’s unacceptable and should be cause for concern for all Americans. To avoid catastrophe, policymakers must recognize their role in threatening the reliability of the grid and take steps to help prevent rolling blackouts before it’s too late.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Lord God, we plead the blood of Jesus over our homes during this winter and our electric grid that no harm or evil will be able to affect it. We declare there will be no blackouts in the name of Jesus! Amen.

Judge Totenberg Issues Ruling Election Machines Used In 2020 Have Substantial Flaws
|
|
North Georgia Judge Amy Totenberg previously ruled in October 2020 the machines used in Georgia elections violated GA law, but refused to issue relief so close to the infamous 2020 election.
She then sat on the 'Halderman Report' which went against the government's assertion the 2020 elections were the most secure in history.
The District Court Judge recently found that there is sufficient cause to believe that there may be “cybersecurity deficiencies that unconstitutionally burden Plaintiffs’ First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and capacity to case effective votes that are accurately counted."
Totenberg scheduled a bench trial for January 9, 2024, which entails the absence of a jury. Nevertheless, she acknowledged that a compromise might be possible if the state legislature were to take action, reported Trending Politics News.
“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” she wrote. “But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public.”
“The Court notes that the record evidence does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety. Indeed, some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have provided testimony and affidavits on behalf of Plaintiffs’ case in the long course of this litigation,” the judge’s footnote remarked.

- Lord, so much was stolen in 2020 in addition to our election. We ask for recompense that the enemy has to pay back everything he stole from "we the people" in 2020 in Jesus Christ's name. We hand this case over to You, Lord, that that no more stealing, killing and destroying can be done to our nation and elections. We declare that justice and righteousness will rule and reign in our elections in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

1. Arab states, EU agree on need for two-state solution to Israel crisis - Reuters
BARCELONA, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Arab states and the European Union agreed at a meeting in Spain on Monday that a two-state solution was the answer to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell saying the Palestinian Authority should rule Gaza.
Borrell said all EU members attending the meeting of Mediterranean nations in Barcelona and almost all attendees had agreed on the need for a two-state solution.
The Palestinian Authority must hold elections as soon as possible to gain further legitimacy and improve its functioning, as the only "viable solution" to the future leadership of Gaza, currently run by Hamas Islamists, he said.
"I believe is the only viable solution, but it will be viable if the international community backs it. Otherwise, we will see a power vacuum that will be fertile ground for all sorts of violent organizations," Borrell said at a press conference. (Read more)

2. IDF Spokesperson: Any attempt to harm our forces will be met with determination - Israel National News
IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari spoke in his daily statement on Tuesday evening about the hostages that are still being held by Hamas in Gaza.
“This evening too, we do not, even for a moment, forget the children, the women and the men, that are still being held by the Hamas terror organization in Gaza. Today, we heard the horrifying testimonies of how Eitan, twelve years old, was forced by terrorists to watch videos of atrocities and was beaten by terrorists. He is only twelve. Eitan’s testimony demonstrates that Hamas is a cruel terror organization that does not allow the Red Cross to check the condition of the hostages. It is an international humanitarian moral duty to demand that the Red Cross fulfils its responsibility,” he said.
“We will do everything, everything, to bring all the hostages home - whether during the operational pause or through continued fighting,” stressed Hagari. (Read more)

4. Hamas founder's son calls for Israel to kill his father if hostages not released - Jerusalem Post
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, called for Israel to set a time limit for Hamas to release the remaining hostages it is holding and to kill Hamas leaders, including his father, if they fail to do so, in a video posted on X on Tuesday.
"Hamas has been waging psychological warfare against humanity...They want to release thousands of mass murderers back to the street in return for the Israeli hostages. Israel cannot afford this, but also humanity cannot afford this, because the release of mass murderers means the death of many other innocent people," said Yousef.
"Israel must not compromise," stressed the son of the Hamas co-founder. (Read more)

5. ‘Horrifying’: Germany Registers 29 Antisemitic Incidents Per Day Since Hamas Pogrom in Israel - Algemeiner
Germany has registered at least 29 antisemitic incidents per day since the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in southern Israel — a four-fold increase on the previous year that was labeled “horrifying” in a statement from the Central Council of German Jews.
New data published on Tuesday by Rias, a federally-funded body monitoring antisemitic incidents, counted a total of 994 antisemitic incidents since the Hamas onslaught. Germany is home to a Jewish community of approximately 118,000.
Benjamin Steinitz, the managing director of Rias, told the Zeit news outlet that while the troughs and peaks of antisemitic activity have always been influenced by the situation in the Middle East, the present period marked a “different dimension.” (Read more)

1. Argentinian President Signs Agreement With ‘Sound Of Freedom’ Producer To Eradicate Child Trafficking - One American News
Newly-elected Argentinian President Javier Milei has signed an agreement with “Sound of Freedom” producer Eduardo Verastegui to combat child trafficking in the country.
The new president met with the Mexican actor to sign the agreement on Friday, to eradicate the scourge of child trafficking within Argentina.
Verastegui posted a video on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, saying “Signing agreement to eradicate any type of child trafficking in Argentina. Long live f*cking freedom!”
By signing the agreement, the duo has expressed that they want to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to freeing victims of trafficking and apprehending offenders.
Argentina elected Libertarian outsider Milei, dubbed the “Trump of Argentina”, as the country’s new president last Sunday.
Milei is set to fix the economy, which is currently facing 142.7% inflation, a recession, and increased poverty. (Read more)

2. Hunter Biden agrees to House Oversight Committee testimony - Fox News
Hunter Biden has offered to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13, according to a letter obtained by Fox News. The president's son agreed to comply with a subpoena issued by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., according to the letter sent to the committee Tuesday, but he is demanding that the testimony be public.
The subpoena was for a closed-door deposition rather than a public hearing, sources told Fox News.
"We have seen you use closed door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public. We therefore propose opening the door," Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell wrote. "If, as you claim, your efforts are important and involve issues that Americans should know about, then let light shine on the proceedings." (Read more)

3. United Nations set to call on Americans to reduce meat consumption - Fox News
A lead United Nations agency overseeing food and agriculture policy is expected to issue a road map in the coming weeks which will call on the West, including America, to dramatically reduce its meat consumption.
The UN's Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will publish its so-called global food systems’ road map during the upcoming COP28 climate summit in Dubai which will kick off on Thursday and extend nearly two weeks until mid-December. FAO's first-of-its-kind document will recommend nations that "over-consume meat" to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Bloomberg reported.
"The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector," Jeremy Coller, the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide, said in a recent statement.

4. Biden admits prices ‘too high’ but blames sellers for 18% inflation - New York Post
President Biden acknowledged Monday that prices are still “too high” and argued that companies should lower them after an 18% jump in consumer costs since he took office.
“We know that prices are still too high for too many things — that times are still too tough for too many families,” the 81-year-old said near the White House.
“We’ve made progress, but we have more work to do,” Biden added. “Let me be clear to any corporation has not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even supply chains have been rebuilt: It’s time to stop the price gouging and give the American consumer a break.”
The prices of some goods, such as food products, are expected to decline in the coming months, but periods of general deflation are rare in US history. Biden previously used his bully pulpit to try to pressure oil companies to take action to lower gas prices last year. (Read more)

5. Hamas breaks ceasefire with Israel - World Israel News
Hamas terrorists operating inside the Gaza Strip violated the ceasefire with Israel Tuesday, despite efforts to extend the pause in the fighting.
An IDF spokesperson reported Tuesday evening that Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli forces in two separate incidents in the northern Gaza Strip Tuesday.
In one attack, Hamas terrorists opened fire on a force of Israeli soldiers, prompting the IDF soldiers to return fire. Palestinian media outlets reported that IDF warplanes were spotted over the Gaza Strip shortly after the attacks. (Read more)

6. Republican AGs blast proposed federal foster care plan they say discriminates against Christians - Just The News
A coalition of Republican attorneys general is pushing against a proposed Department of Health and Human Services rule that they argue is unconstitutional and discriminates against Christians.
The proposed rule would require states to place foster children who identify as LGBT+ in "safe and appropriate" environments, which would be established by providers who have undergone training to provide for children's needs related to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The provider is also expected to use the child's identified pronouns and chosen name and allow the child to dress in a manner that reflects their gender identity.
The proposed rule is "unconstitutional because it discriminates against individuals and organizations of faith who want to serve children in the foster care system," the 19 Republican attorneys general wrote in a letter Monday to Health and Human Services. The proposal also should be rejected because it "unconstitutionally forces speech on foster providers," the attorneys general also said. (Read more)

- Thank You, Father, for these 19 attorneys general who are standing up and speaking out against government overreach. We pray for their position to be strong and victorious on behalf of free speech, freedom of religion, and to protect vulnerable and confused children, in Jesus name. We give thanks for the Christian organizations whose hearts are for protecting and caring for children in the foster care system.

7. More than 2,500 NYPD officers leave force in 2023 amid 'inhumane amounts of forced overtime' - Just The News
More than 2,500 New York Police Department officers have left the force so far in 2023, which at least one police official attributes to cops being forced to work a significant number of overtime hours.
So far this year, 2,516 officers have left the New York force, according to pension data recently reported by The New York Post.
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry, whose group is the largest police union in the United States, said officers have been leaving the force for years without being replaced, forcing the officers who remain employed to work "inhumane amounts of forced overtime."
Additionally, so far this year 1,040 officers have quit before working the 20 years required to receive their full pensions – more than twice the number who did so in 2020. “The workload is a leading factor driving people away from the job," Hendry said. "If the NYPD is going to survive these staffing reductions, it cannot just keep squeezing cops for more hours." (Read more)

- Abba, policing is such a dangerous job in the best of circumstances, and we know that in New York right now, the environment is quite treacherous for the officers, so we pray for Your divine protection over their lives. For those who are vulnerable, we ask You to show Yourself strong in their lives. We also pray for the departments to have the wisdom and will to turn things around for officers to be able to protect their citizens against the many dangerous villains lurking in the streets, in Jesus name.

8. Arizona's largest school district shows kids how to hide gender transition from parents: lawsuit - Just The News
Arizona's largest school district is flouting state law and its own governing board by covertly instructing students how to assert a different gender identity at school without their parents knowing and hiding evidence of its misdeeds, according to an outspoken member of the board.
Former President Trump aide Stephen Miller's America First Legal is representing Rachel Walden in her Maricopa County Superior Court lawsuit against Mesa Public Schools and Superintendent Andi Fourlis, which alleges they schemed to circumvent the Arizona Parents' Bill of Rights after the community learned it was blocking parental notification.
Walden also claims the board "never voted to adopt or authorize" the contested gender transition policy, whose heading is dated August 2015, "or any of its constituent elements," which additionally determine access to restrooms, locker rooms, field trips, "overnight trips" and "gendered activities" such as sports.

Holy King, we pray for Your light to shine strong and victorious over this America First Legal lawsuit on behalf of the parents that it represents, in Jesus name. We call for all law-breaking activities to be brought to justice. We bind and silence all potential back-room deals, so that children will no longer be used as pawns by this sick gender twisting ideology, in Jesus name. May the Spirit of the Living God descend on Arizona, Maricopa County and Mesa Public Schools, releasing repentance, righteousness and salvation, in Jesus name.

The Threat To You And Your Family
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 28, 2023
The Biden Administration’s open borders policy is a grave threat to national security. This is not just some nebulous big government “thing.” It is a threat to your life and the lives of your loved ones as confirmed by testimony of FBI director Christopher Wray, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and National Counterterrorism Director Christine Abizaid before the House Committee on Homeland Security November 15. The committee’s conclusion: “In the hearing, members received confirmation of the urgent national security threat posed by the nearly 1.8 million known gotaways and the rising number of individuals on the terrorist watchlist apprehended crossing the Southwest border…”
The Committee’s account documented, “Wray confirmed these facts in his testimony and alluded to Chairman Green that the national security consequences of the crisis have turned every state into a border state. Director Wray even confirmed all 56 FBI joint terrorism task forces are occupied with threats coming across the border. Worse, Mayorkas could not confirm that every suspected terrorist that crosses the Southwest border illegally is detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), while Wray admitted that the FBI is still attempting to locate certain individuals on the terrorist watchlist who have crossed into the United States. Throughout his testimony, Mayorkas consistently refused to answer direct questions about how his policies have opened America’s borders, and the national security consequences of those policies.” Read More

World's largest iceberg drifting freely, headed for
South Atlantic Ocean
|
|
|
A gargantuan Antarctic iceberg five times the size of New York City and as thick as the Empire State Building is drifting away from the continental ice shelf toward the South Atlantic Ocean.
Designated A23a, the iceberg remained in situ grounded on the floor of the Weddell Sea since shortly after splitting off from the Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986, until earlier this year when it began slowly shifting northward.
It is believed A23a finally was able to break free from the seabed after decades of shrinkage.
Driven by wind and ocean currents, its passage recently has picked up pace, and satellite imagery now shows it is about to pass the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Posting a map of the iceberg's movements over the past seven months on X, British Antarctic Survey mapping specialist Laura Gerrish said it was the world's largest iceberg.
"This giant berg calved in 1986 and has been grounded in the Weddell Sea since 1991. It started moving again last year, and now that A68 [another giant Antarctic iceberg] has broken up, it reclaims its title as the world's biggest iceberg right now at 1,544 square miles." Read More

Innovative 'BibleProject' Opens God's Word to Millions in 56 Languages:
'The Story Leads to Jesus'
|
|
PORTLAND, Oregon – Tucked away in a quiet Portland neighborhood is an animation studio that is opening the Bible to millions in a new and fresh way. An idea of some college buddies has become one of the most successful ways for people to understand the Bible. During their college days, long-time friends Tim Mackie and Jon Collins would kick around ideas on how to get more people to read the Bible and understand it better. The result was a Bible animation experiment called BibleProject, and it was only two videos, posted online in 2014 for their friends. Less than ten years later, BibleProject has created over 180 videos and 350 podcast episodes over the internet, with over 620 million views in over 200 countries, and over five million subscribers worldwide, even offering seminary-level classes.
Michael McDonald, Chief Global Focus and Strategic Relationships Officer at BibleProject told us, "None of us were smart enough to think we would create this big nonprofit out of this. This really was a passion project of two friends who thought, 'I think this would be helpful to not only just us, but some of our friends.' And the crowd just caught up so fast in not only watching the videos but wanting more of them. And they started helping fund them just with, you know, five bucks here, ten bucks there. And then we had enough funds to make another video and away we went." After attending Bible college together, Jon served as a pastor before beginning a career making explainer videos for large companies. Tim got his PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish studies, becoming a pastor and seminary professor. Then they decided to combine Tim's Bible knowledge and Jon's creative abilities, and BibleProject was born. With videos now in 56 languages, BibleProject is also reaching the Muslim world. (CBN) Read More and Watch Video! Here.
- Adonai, we thank You for the expansive growth of BibleProject videos being viewed around the world, bringing GLORY to Your Name and a clearer understanding of stories in the Bible! We ask that You would bless BibleProject, alongside the artistic-creators for their obedience to Your Kingdom assignment. Continue to spread the knowledge and truth of Your Word through this ministry, revealing the 'Good-News' across America and every nation, so that ALL men will bend their knee to Jesus Christ, our life-giving, Lord and Savior. In the Mighty Name of Yeshua-Amen.

When storms o’erspread the skies,

Through sorrow, toil and pain;
Make Thou my pathway plain,
Teach me Thy way!
Long as my life shall last,
Teach me Thy way!
Where’er my lot be cast,
Teach me Thy way!
Until the race is run,
Until the journey’s done,
Until the crown is won,
Teach me Thy way!
