Dow Jones Scores 1500 Points to Record High After Trump Wins
|
|
The Dow Jones closed more than 3.5 percent higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot up up 1,500 points to its record high on Wednesday after Donald Trump won a second presidential term.
The Dow closed at 43,729.93, or 3.57 percent higher, after trading Wednesday. The Nasdaq Composite also rose about 2.9 percent, and the S&P 500 moved up around 2.5 points.
Aside from markets, the 10-year Treasury note rose 13 basis points to 4.43 points, the dollar surged, and Bitcoin rallied to a record high. The price of gold, however, dropped 3 percent after reaching record highs in recent days.
At the same time, the volatility index, known as the “fear gauge,” was down more than 20 points on Wednesday, another good sign for the markets.
“Investors were kind of portfolio jockeying to score up some of their risk exposure in anticipation of an outcome that was going into it, seemingly a toss-up,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia. Read more

We ask that this movement in the Stock Market would not cease, but continue to be strong and firm in the days ahead. Amen.

90 Orthodox Rabbis Endorse Trump and Praise His Victory
|
|
As the dust settles, many are trying to understand who supported Trump, boosting him to victory, and who voted for four more years of the Democratic nightmare. Orthodox Jews stood firmly with Trump in this election.
While US Jews have traditionally supported the Democratic party, the Biden-Harris administration has been unsupportive of Israel in its existential multifront war against Iran and its proxies. Following in the footsteps of his former boss, President Obama, Biden has surreptitiously pushed aside sanctions, allowing Iran’s economy to thrive and providing funding for the war against Israel.
So it was more than a bit surprising when, in a last-ditch pre-election effort, the Harris campaign announced that 33 “Orthodox rabbis” had endorsed her candidacy. It was later revealed that few of the signees were Orthodox Jews and many of them were not rabbis.
Nonetheless, this announcement was immediately followed by more than 50 Orthodox rabbis endorsing Trump’s candidacy. This number quickly increased and just a few days later, 90 rabbis had taken the courageous stance by endorsing Trump earlier this week and breaking away from the timid and apprehensive approach that has been so harmful to the Jewish community as it embraced an extremist agenda based on anti-Bible values.
Many came out with praise for the 47th president of the United States.Rabbi Tuly Weisz was enthusiastic about Trump’s victory.“Congratulations to the most pro-Israel president ever on a decisive victory,” Rabbi Weisz told I srael365 News. “Israelis are looking forward to the return of the Trump policies that led to the greatest period of peace and prosperity for our region.” (Israel 365 News) Read more |

- We thank You, O Lord, for this blessing that has come out of Israel. Please help us to bless them, as they have blessed us. In Your Mighty Name we pray, amen.

Kamala's Election Loss Looks Even More Painful as $20M Problem Looms: Report
|
|
|
Allegations are flying that amid the cratering of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, there is a mountain of debt.
Christopher Cadelago, Politico’s California bureau chief, offered up the claim in a post on X.
“Kamala Harris’s campaign ended with at least $20 million in debt, per two sources familiar. Harris raised over $1 billion and had $118 million in the bank as of Oct. 16,” he posted.
Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle expanded upon that in a post that blended information from unnamed sources into an ugly picture of financial disaster.
“Ok so this just got very explosive. A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit,” Boyle posted on X.
“The $20 million debt thing is real. Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups. Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O’Malley Dillon,” he posted.
The post said a Harris campaign adviser who was not named claimed “a billion dollars” was spent on “ all the concerts.”
The source said events with “Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera” were undertaken “at the expense of ‘prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.’”
“It’s unclear at this time if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was ‘immense,’” Boyle wrote.
“What’s more, this Kamala campaign staffer said several people who were working for the Kamala Harris for President campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work. IE, they didn’t pay the staff,” Boyle wrote. (WND) Read more here.

- Lord God, Holy One, it is painful to read this report. The management of our funds is priority #1, whether it be in our homes, in our businesses, or in our political activities. If we violate those principles, we will literally pay the price.
We ask that Kamala and her staff would learn valuable lessons from this experience, that it not happen again. It is only Your Spirit that fuels the work that we do; financial support follows You. Thank You, O Lord, in Your Name, amen and amen.
- "It is not by might, nor by power (billionaires' funds), but by My spirit, saith the Lord." (Zechariah 4:6)

2. Israeli minister calls to annex Judea and Samaria after Trump’s election - World Israel News
Leaders of the Israeli settlement movement in Judea and Samaria have joined a government minister in calling for the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, following President-elect Donald Trump’s win in Tuesday’s presidential election.
Addressing the Knesset plenum Wednesday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) blessed Trump’s victory, reciting the Shehecheyanu prayer and saying the time is ripe for Israel to apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and to achieve “total victory” over Hamas.
“Let me open with blessings to the new president of America, Donald Trump.”
“Now this is the time for sovereignty, this is the time for total victory, this is the time for the State of Israel to pass the ‘Death to Terrorists’ legislation – all kinds of laws which I have no doubt that the new president will see eye-to-eye with us on them.” (Read more)

The prime minister said that he had fired the defense minister, a longtime rival within the Likud Party, due to mutual distrust that Netanyahu said “helped the enemy.” (Read more)

1. The Meltdowns and Tantrums Have Begun – The Economic Collapse Blog
Donald Trump just completed the greatest political comeback in U.S. history by winning the presidential election of 2024 in a landslide, and this truly is a nightmare scenario for the political establishment on the left. For the past eight years, they have been trying to do whatever they can to get rid of their arch-enemy. They impeached him twice, they dragged him to court time after time, they actually got him convicted on 34 felony counts, and they have been using the full force of the corporate media to demonize him relentlessly 24 hours a day for years. But all of their efforts have failed, and now the worst thing that they can imagine has actually happened. Donald Trump is going back to the White House, and the meltdowns and the tantrums have begun.
Today, I watched a lot of the meltdown videos that have gone viral on social media, and the language in many of those videos is so inappropriate that I just can’t share them with you. But I can share a compilation of meltdowns that happened on the big news networks once it became obvious that Trump was going to win the election that Fox News has put together
…
These people are horrified.
For decades, the corporate media told us what to think, and to a large degree it worked.
But it isn’t working anymore. (Read more)

- Father God, how we praise You for the work You have done in our country this week. We also are disappointed at the reaction of so many in the media and on social platforms. We pray that You would minister the truth of this event to those who are in shock right now. We pray this will be a time of reexamining their view of government and the role it should play in their lives. Father, we pray the outcome of this vast shaking of part of our country will result in a better understanding of what our Founding Fathers meant our country to look like. We pray that those who had hoped for a more controlling and centralized government will see that our rights and freedoms are God-given and very precious indeed. Thank You, Lord, for coming against all lies that have been told to those who were vulnerable to being deceived.
- "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

2. GOP Spokeswoman: Trump Wants “Decisive Victory” for Israel – JNS News
"I would say he expects them to end it by winning it," Republican Party spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko stated.
President-elect Donald Trump wants Israel to wrap up its wars against Iran and its regional terror proxies with a “decisive victory,” campaign spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko told Channel 12 News on Wednesday.
“I would say he expects them to end it by winning it, one hundred percent; that’s how he always talks about ending wars,” the Jewish Republican Party spokesperson told the Israeli news broadcaster.
“Donald Trump always says he wants less innocent people to die—that is his stance whether we’re talking about the war in Gaza, whether we’re talking about Russia in Ukraine or anywhere else,” she added. “So, I do believe he wants the war to end as soon as possible, like all rational people do, but he wants it to end with a decisive victory.” (Read more) |

- Oh, Lord, we lift up this war in Israel to You to help the Israelis find their quick path to victory over the tyranny that happened last year. We praise You for a president-elect who is so supportive of Israel and their struggle against so many groups aligned with wicked rulers in their area. We speak out that You, oh Lord, will give them the wisdom, weapons, defensive mechanisms, and manpower to achieve a decisive and total victory over their enemies.

3. Russia Hoax Already Begins! Left Already Pointing to Moscow Amid Harris Election Loss – Discern Report
As Vice President Kamala Harris faces increasingly challenging odds in the current election, left-wing voices are reviving familiar claims of Russian interference to explain a potential defeat.
In an attempt to deflect responsibility and shield the administration from blame, left wing personalities are already turning to a narrative that blames Russian interference for the election outcome
Russia “wants Vice President Kamala Harris to lose,” largely because of the Biden administration’s policy in support of Ukraine, but also to instill and exploit division in the United States, reported CBS News host Margaret Brennan. (Read more) |

- Dear Lord, we come against this and all narratives that put in doubt the legitimacy of the win that President Trump has just had. These people voice what they are hoping for--chaos and violence. We cast down all speech that comes against a peaceful transition of power and any events that promote division. We praise You that President Trump drew much support from all demographic groups and won the popular vote. We pray that You, Lord, would enable Your people to dispel all lies about Russia with the weapon of truth.

4. Referendum on the Elites: Young Pro Choice Women Say They’re Backing Trump Due in Part to “Media’s Lies” – Discern Report
Two young pro-choice women on Tuesday said they favor former President Donald Trump because of the media’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and their subsequent distrust of the institution.
Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by 16 points among men, while Harris holds a 16-point advantage among women across all the battleground states, according to a Sunday New York Times/Siena College poll. The voters, featured on journalist Mark Halperin’s “ The Morning Meeting,” expressed surprise at backing Trump, saying they no longer trust the media’s portrayal of him.
I can’t believe I’m voting for Trump,” a law school student named Lauren said, telling Halperin she has only voted for Democrats in past elections. “It started with COVID things … For me, this election is like a referendum on the elites way more than it is anything about Trump or Harris. specifically. And I recognize, like I live in D.C., I’m about to be a lawyer. It doesn’t matter.” (Read more) |

- Father God, thank you that so many women and men have seen through the lies of the media. When they did their research, they found out that President Trump is a man of his word and a man of peace. Thank you for putting President Trump back in the White House. Hallelujah. Praise you Jesus and we pray in Jesus mighty name, amen and amen!

5. How a Second Trump Administration Might Affect Foreign Policy – The Epoch Times
U.S. foreign policy will undergo some shifts in the coming months, as President-elect Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office and contends with regional wars.
The second administration of President-elect Donald Trump is anticipated to bring great change to America’s foreign policy establishment.
From wars in Europe and the Middle East to an increasingly adversarial relationship with China in the Indo-Pacific, Trump has vowed to make sweeping changes to the way the United States approaches international statecraft.
That has some in the foreign policy establishment in Washington on edge. Still, others are confident that there will be a winding down of armed conflicts worldwide as the nation’s highest office embraces a more assertive and, at times, confrontational tone with allies and adversaries alike.
Staring China Down in the Indo-Pacific
Among the most pressing threats to be tackled by the second Trump administration is an increasingly adversarial China, whose ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has repeatedly sought to undermine U.S. interests throughout the world in recent years.
Key to doing that will be to shore up the United States’ alliances in the region, including with Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, as well as reaffirming Washington’s commitment to defend Taiwan from CCP aggression. (Read more) |

- Holy father, President Trump does not want the USA to get into wars where the lives of our young men are at risk. China is a big concern to the USA. I pray President Trump will do all he can to handle the Chinese government and keep America safe in our future. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray, amen and amen.
- "He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

Daniel Lurie, a philanthropist and an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, appears poised to oust San Francisco Mayor London Breed in her bid for reelection, as the city continued to post election results on Nov. 6.
Lurie led Breed by 12 points Wednesday morning, earning 56 percent of the vote, compared to the incumbent’s 44 percent.
Breed has not yet conceded, but told supporters Tuesday she would wait until all votes were counted. “It ain’t over till it’s over,” she told supporters at an election night party Tuesday, according to wire reports.

7. DOJ Set to Drop Federal Cases Against Trump Before Inauguration - Bloomberg
The special counsel overseeing the federal criminal cases against Donald Trump is preparing to drop the prosecutions of the president-elect before he is sworn in, according to a Justice Department official.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is evaluating how to wind down two federal cases against Trump in order to comply with a department policy that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted. Smith may still seek to prosecute two of Trump’s co-defendants in one of the cases. (Read more)

- Abba, we give you praise and honor for ending the federal criminal cases against Your son, Donald. We thank you for giving him the strength to stand strong in the face of such an onslaught of lies and hatred he has endured. We ask that all charges be dropped, not just the federal lawsuits, but also prosecutions in Georgia and New York. We ask that the voice of those in the US who voted for him speak volumes of how the electorate sees the lawfare that has been waged against President Trump and the repudiation of it in the amazing landslide last Tuesday.
We ask for justice to be done concerning Merrick Garland, Chris Wray and all in the top seats of our government who broke their vows to uphold our constitution through these actions, including the raid at Mar-A-Lago. Let each be held accountable, we ask this in the name Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies.

the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will
have mercy on them, and to
our God, for he will freely pardon."

What’s behind Netanyahu’s shocking, second firing of DM Yoav Gallant?
|
|
|
|
Politics around IDF draft law widely seen as immediate cause - but Netanyahu & Gallant haven't seen eye to eye for a long time.
In a shocking move, probably well-timed to coincide with the U.S. elections that were sure to grab most of the news coverage, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant – againBut this time, it looks like the dismissal will stick, as Netanyahu already announced a cabinet reshuffle that includes Gideon Sa’ar taking over the post of Israel Katz as Foreign Minister, while Katz, who has no relevant security background, will replace Gallant.
In his announcement, Netanyahu explained that the main reason for his controversial decision, which has been heavily criticized as politically motivated by the opposition, was the lack of personal trust.
“In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust between the prime minister and the defense minister is required,” Netanyahu argued, explaining that initial trust between him and Gallant “cracked” as the war dragged on.
“Significant gaps emerged regarding the management of the campaign,” Netanyahu said, adding that Gallant’s statements and actions openly contradicted decisions made by the government and the cabinet, and hinting at accusations that he leaked differences of opinion to the press, benefiting Israel’s enemies.

Trump's big tent: President-elect improved on 2020 performance in 4 counties with big minority populations
|
|
|
|
Trump returns to the White House after flipping several Democratic strongholds with large minority populations
|
|
|
For most of the 2024 presidential campaign, public opinion polls suggested that President-elect Trump had historically strong support from minority voters. Now, the election results prove those surveys right.
Thousands of U.S. counties swung rightward compared to 2020, which enabled Trump to overcome his previous deficits with voters and win the national popular vote in 2024 – a feat no Republican has accomplished for 20 years. But four counties in particular highlight Trump's appeal to constituencies that traditionally have supported Democrats.
"Donald Trump improved his standing with Black and Latino voters for one simple reason: He went directly to them and earned their votes," said Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell. "Presidential Republicans usually do not go to areas that aren't part of their traditional voting bases. Trump won 90% plus Latino counties, and he has truly put the Republican Party on the map as a multicultural party."
Hispanics account for 45% of residents in Passaic County, in northern New Jersey. Trump won the county with nearly 50% of the vote, improving his 2020 performance by a whopping nine percentage points. The results shocked Democrats, since the party's 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton won there with 74% of the vote.
Trump's victory was more pronounced in Starr County, Texas, formerly a Democratic stronghold on the border with Mexico, where Hispanics make up 97% of all residents. Trump flipped the county for the first time in 132 years, winning with about 57.7% of the vote, according to the Associated Press.
It was a similar story in traditionally Democratic Osceola County, where Trump won 50% of the vote compared to Vice President Kamala Harris' 48%. Located in central Florida, just south of Disney World, Osceola is 56% Latino. Voters there told FOX 35 Orlando that Trump appealed to them because of their focus on economic issues.
"He appealed to me since day one," voter Robert Arias said. "I felt like he's a businessman, and he'll be able to run our country like a business."
"Trump is a businessman," agreed Daniel Pedraza. "He's got guts."
Trump lost Osceola County to Clinton by 25 points in 2016. President Biden defeated Trump there by 14 points in 2020, FOX 35 reported. But he gained 7 percentage points there in 2024 and flipped it red. (Fox News) Read more here.

- King of Kings, we have so much to thank You for. Today we especially thank You for setting many in various people groups and demographics free from the lies and deceptions of the far left.
We can see that Trump’s increased support from minority groups demonstrates a level of unity we have not seen before, and it sets the stage for the beginning of cleaning up and healing our nation. We thank you for the landslide of voters across all demographics that desire a healthy, strong and secure country that supports the Constitution. As we take steps together towards unity of heart, mind and purpose, we seek Your righteousness, guidance and strategies to move forward, hand in hand.
Thank You for opening eyes to see what is good and true and to see what has been evil, false, senseless and fruitless in the last four years. Lord, we know that You desire that we all be in health and prosper as our soul prospers. May the ‘soul’ of this nation be restored to what was decreed in the Mayflower Compact in 1620 so that we may move forward in Your power to achieve the true and full destiny of the United States of America. We know that globally there are ‘multitudes … in the Valley of Decision’. May we prosper accordingly to what is required to accomplish Your will in the weeks, months and years ahead.
We praise You for the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, refining, experience and natural and supernatural help You have granted to Donald John Trump that he may be Your ready vessel to work through in the time ahead. We continue to pray for protection for Pres. Trump, his family and those chosen to support and walk beside him. As a nation, may we continue to hold up his arms in prayer. In Your mercy and love, You are giving us another chance; may we rise to the occasion by the power of the Holy Spirit to each do our part. In Yeshua’s saving name we pray, Amen!
- "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to live together in unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, as on Aaron’s beard, the oil which ran down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for the Lord commanded the blessing there—life forever." (Psalm 133:1-3)

Mountain fire destroys more than 50 homes, 5,000 others threatened
|
|
|
|
Camarillo Heights resident Maurice Kerr stood inside the shell of his burned-out home Thursday morning.
With the surrounding rubble still smoldering and smoke choking the air, the 68-year-old said he did his best to fight the wind-driven Mountain fire, which started raining embers on his home soon after it started Wednesday morning.
But facing 50- to 60-mph winds, the lone fire hose he was using — hooked up to his indoor pool — to try to beat back the flames wasn’t enough. Nor were those of the firefighters who arrived and pulled him out as flames began to engulf the 4,800-square-foot ranch-style home, destroying his and dozens of others during the most extreme Santa Ana wind event to hit Southern California in years.
“I finally had to hose myself down to put myself out,” he said.
By Thursday afternoon, the Mountain fire had grown to more than 19,600 acres, forcing thousands to evacuate and straining local resources. The fire swept into foothill communities around Camarillo and Moorpark, pushed westward by offshore winds that the National Weather Service deemed “particularly dangerous.”
Shooting embers from the fire sparked new blazes up to 2½ miles ahead of the main fire line, officials said.
Early Thursday, officials issued additional evacuation orders for residents in the Santa Paula area, just north of the Santa Clara River. Officials warned that more than 30,000 people live in the potential path of the fire and need to be prepared for further warnings or orders as strong winds remained a concern through at least the evening.

- Lord of the Wind and the Waves, we come to You on bended knee asking for mercy as the Moutain Fire rages in Ventura County, California. You are a help to the helpless, and Abba so many people are feeling afraid and helpless right now. Please temper the Santa Ana winds as the firefighters on the ground and in the air work on the frontlines. Give them wisdom and strategies to quickly contain the fires, and protect them from any harm from the smoke and blaze. Send angels to protect homes, home owners, workers, equipment, including helicopters and planes. May help from out of state come in as needed. We especially pray that the firefighters have adequate water supply as well as constant good water pressure to do their jobs.
Our hearts cry out to You for those who have lost their homes or don’t know the status of their properties. We do praise You that no lives have been lost; may no one perish or be seriously injured. For those who need to leave the dangerous areas, we ask You to show them the safe way to escape and grant them food and housing until they can return or rebuild. May all heed the warnings and do what is needed to be safe. In all of this distress, we ask that You cause people to look to You for help and solace and that the lost may find salvation in Jesus. Comfort and protect the children, sick and elderly. May believers in the area hear Your call to help. Please provide the means for clear communications for Ventura County residents to contact their loved ones. Thank You, Abba, for Your gracious, powerful and timely help. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Archaeology breakthrough! 4,000-year-old fort city found hidden in Saudi oasis
|
|
|
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of an ancient Bronze Age town under an oasis in Saudi Arabia’s Madinah province that was slowly occupied from 2400 BC.
Researchers say the ancient town, dubbed al-Natah, was a city transforming from a nomadic cattle-herding lifestyle into a complex urban settlement.
The town’s remains are concealed by the walled oasis of Khaybar, a fertile land surrounded by desert in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula.
Urbanization has been difficult to study in northern Arabia due to a lack of well-preserved archaeological sites compared to better-understood areas such as the Levant and Mesopotamia.
However, recent digs in northern Arabia provide fresh insights into the early stages of urbanisation in this region.
The ancient al-Natah town with around 500 residents, covered about 1.5ha, and had a central district and nearby residential district surrounded by protective ramparts, according to the study published in the journal PLoS ONE. Read More
