Conservative lawmakers recently unveiled a budget bill containing numerous pro-life policies with a full defund of Big Abortion organizations – including Planned Parenthood.

January 21, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) budget blueprint was unveiled on Jan. 8 by RSC Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX) and Budget and Spending Task Force Chair Beth Van Duyne (R-TX). Titled “Restoring America’s Golden Age,” it contains proposals to beef up border security, cut wasteful spending, reform entitlement programs and increase American energy production.

The budget provides a “comprehensive fiscal roadmap that balances the federal budget within ten years, and returns spending to pre-pandemic levels.”

The budget also contains numerous pro-life policies. It “ensures Planned Parenthood no longer benefits from taxpayer dollars” and “completely eliminates Title X Family Planning funding to save the lives of countless innocent children.”

According to an RSC press release, the budget focuses on “making the American Dream affordable again” by:

Restoring the American dream of homeownership.
Delivering healthcare freedom and lower drug prices.
Reducing energy bills and gasoline prices.
Rebuilding the American family by eliminating marriage penalties, supporting stay-at-home parents and eviscerating radical gender ideology.
Cutting wasteful government spending.
Codifying President Trump’s executive orders.

“At its core, the RSC Budget is a fundamental rejection of the excessive government spending and regulatory overreach that characterized the Biden Administration’s approach to government,” the RSC budget reads.

The RSC is a congressional caucus of conservative members in the U.S. House of Representatives. It was formed in 1973 by Paul Weyrich and others to help advance conservative priorities and check the House’s Republican leadership, which they saw as too moderate. Currently 188 congressmen are members of the RSC.

Additionally, the budget supports multiple pro-life bills and priorities, including:

Rep. Warren Davidson’s (R-OH) bill, the Aid Accountability Act, which would eliminate funding for any federal employee or non-governmental organization violating the Helms Amendment, which prohibits the use of any U.S. foreign aid to perform or encourage abortion.
Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-TX) bill, the No Taxpayer Funding for the U.N. Population Fund, which would prohibit any federal agency from giving taxpayer dollars to the U.N. Population Fund – which has supported China’s population-control programs, including forced abortions and sterilizations.
Rep. Eric Burlison’s (R-MO) bill, the Life at Conception Act, which would recognize unborn children as “persons” under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
Rep. Mark Harris’ (R-NC) bill, the Teleabortion Prevention Act, which would make it a federal offense for doctors to send abortion pills through the mail.
Rep. Mike Kelly’s (R-PA) bill, the Heartbeat Protection Act, which would prohibit abortions when a baby’s heartbeat is detected.
Rep. Ann Wagner’s (R-MO) bill, the Born-Alive Survivor’s Protection Act, which would ensure medical protections for babies who survive an attempted abortion.

The budget blueprint provides a roadmap for a second reconciliation bill in the 119th Congress. Republicans utilized the reconciliation process last year to enact the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which President Donald J. Trump signed into law on July 4.

The reconciliation process, a budget maneuver provided for under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, allows a budget bill to be passed with only a majority vote (51 votes) in the Senate, rather than the usually required three-fifths majority.

The OBBBA contained a provision defunding Big Abortion organizations – including Planned Parenthood – of all taxpayer dollars, costing the nation’s largest abortion mill roughly $850 million. However, the provision lasts only for one year.

“With so much of President Trump’s America First agenda still to enact,” the RSC added, “failing to seize this opportunity would be political malpractice.”

“The first reconciliation bill launched America’s Golden Age through economic and security reforms. The next reconciliation bill should focus on cementing the progress we’ve made on affordability in order to restore the American Dream for every family.”

Not every provision of the RSC’s proposal will be retained as the budget process moves forward. Nevertheless, it’s greatly encouraging that the RSC budget contains so many strong pro-life provisions.

Let’s hope and pray that if the House and Senate pass a second reconciliation bill later this year, Big Abortion providers will be defunded – again.

Trump’s Board of Peace

January 21, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Definition of insanity, doing the same thing all over again, but expecting a different result.

The Bible tells us that in the last days Jerusalem will become a burdensome stone for all nations. True, the nations wonder what to do about this small God appointed land. A simple solution would be to drive the interlopers out of the nation of Israel, let them have all the land they inherited by the Almighty and be done with it. Stand with Israel as they enforce their borders. Too simple.

Trump’s illustrious board of peace will apparently have two patrons of the terror group Hamas on the board of peace. (Per JNS.org). Qatar, which is Witkoff and Kushner’ s sugar daddy, and main sponsor of Hamas. The leadership of Hamas live luxuriously in Doha. Turkey, though a member of NATO, is colonizing parts of Syria and has spoken recently of dancing in the streets of Jerusalem. Yeah that sounds like a good couple of nations that are fair minded when it comes to Gaza.

Oh but wait, apparently Bibi Netanyahu has also been asked to be a part of the board as well. Hmm, throwing a bone to Israel to make it seem fair?? They ain’t no meat on that bone.

The Oslo Accords gave the “Palestinians” a state, (Clinton is famously now stating on various platforms) narcissistic anyone? Got to get Billy Bob back in the news cycle. True, but what did they do? Nothing but a reign of terror.

Having a political solution to Gaza is just pure insanity, (remember the definition). This is war, defeating the terrorists and stopping their money trail is all that will accomplish what Israel was only days from accomplishing in Gaza. That is before Trump called off Bibi and the IDF.

Again what is the definition of insanity?

“Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.”

President Trump’s Greenland Strategy

January 20, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

President Donald Trump has once again jolted the foreign-policy establishment—this time by elevating Greenland from a quiet Arctic outpost into a front-line strategic priority. What many initially dismissed as rhetorical bravado has evolved into a serious geopolitical argument rooted in national security, great-power competition, and resource control.

From Trump’s perspective, Greenland is not about symbolism. It is about leverage.

Greenland’s value begins with geography. Sitting between North America and Europe, the island occupies a commanding position over the Arctic and North Atlantic. The United States already operates Thule Air Base there, a critical node in America’s missile-warning and space-tracking systems.

Trump’s view is blunt: if the United States does not secure Greenland’s future alignment, adversaries will try to exploit it.

New shipping lanes, surveillance routes, and military corridors are opening—routes Russia and China are actively studying. In Trump’s strategic calculus, Greenland is not peripheral; it is central.

Trump frames Greenland as an extension of homeland defense. Ballistic missile trajectories from Eurasia pass over the Arctic. Early-warning systems stationed in Greenland give the U.S. precious minutes in a crisis.

Beyond security, Greenland holds vast deposits of rare earth elements and critical minerals essential for defense systems, electronics, and emerging technologies. Trump views Greenland as part of a broader effort to reduce Western dependence on Chinese-controlled supply chains.

European leaders, particularly Denmark, reject any notion of a transfer of sovereignty, emphasizing Greenlandic self-determination and NATO cooperation. Many U.S. lawmakers also warn that aggressive rhetoric could strain alliances.

Trump’s Greenland strategy reflects a larger truth about his presidency: he thinks in maps, not communiqués. Territory, resources, and positioning matter more to him than diplomatic sensibilities.

Whether Greenland ever changes hands is uncertain. What is clear is that Trump has forced Washington and its allies to confront the Arctic as a serious arena of global competition. Interestingly China, and Russia have been doing what is called bathymetric surveys.

A bathymetric survey measures and maps the depths and underwater terrain (seafloor, riverbed, lakebed) of water bodies, creating a detailed picture of the submerged landscape with contours and elevations, similar to how land surveys map dry ground. This data is crucial for navigation, flood control, engineering, and environmental studies, using technologies like sonar, GPS, and sometimes drones to capture precise depth and location data.

What it measures:

Water Depth: Precise measurements from the surface to the bottom.
Underwater Features: Maps features like ridges, canyons, reefs, and man-made structures.
Terrain: Creates contour lines (isobaths) showing the shape and slope of the bottom.
Water Properties: Can include shoreline definition, currents, and wave action.

My take is simple, it is strategic for the U.S. What began as a strange comment by Trump on the purchase has now blown into a big “deal”. No pun intended. Not sure what will happen, but probably some sort of agreement to increase American forces, and or security. There is no secret, at least from me, that the European Union can’t be trusted to hold up it’s end of NATO. At times Trump seems to talk when he shouldn’t, but sometimes he is setting the stage for something bigger. Rh

Assault on Religious Freedom

January 18, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

It never ends, as long as their are believers, the enemy will try to destroy the faith. Our fight for truth must not waver. My concern is why does someone working at a church need or want an abortion Below is an article from “Decision Magazine.” Rh

Appellate Court Hears Case of Church Forced to Provide Employee Abortion Coverage

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit heard oral arguments in Cedar Park Assembly of God of Kirkland v. Kuderer, a case involving a Washington church seeking a religious exemption from a law requiring the church to provide abortion coverage to employees.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) defended Cedar Park Church in the Jan. 8 hearing, during which ADF Senior Counsel Rory Gray argued that the law violates the church’s free exercise of religion.

“The church’s religious belief is that it is facilitating abortion by covering it through the church’s plan. There is absolutely no argument otherwise that there would be no abortion coverage here but for Cedar Park seeking out an insurer, negotiating the terms and signing a contract,” Gray said during the hearing.

The Kirkland, Washington, church provided an abortion-free health plan for church employees, but in March 2018, Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 6219 into law, which requires employers offering maternity care coverage to also provide abortion coverage. Violators face fines and criminal penalties such as imprisonment.

Surgical abortion coverage was added to the church’s insurance carrier health plan, in compliance with state law.

The church, which believes all human life is valuable and should be protected from conception to natural death, has been fighting for an exemption for six years. In 2019, the church filed suit against Washington state officials, asking for an exemption from the mandate.

The complaint argues that the law imposes a substantial burden on Cedar Park’s religious exercises while coercing the church to violate its religious beliefs, since denying mothers’ maternity care violates their religious beliefs, and there are no other insurance options they qualify for that do not require abortion coverage.

“SB 6219 imposes a burden on Cedar Park’s ability to recruit and retain employees and places Cedar Park at a competitive disadvantage by creating uncertainty as to whether it will be able to offer group health insurance in the future,” the complaint reads.

The case has been volleyed back and forth between courts. A district court dismissed the case. The 9th Circuit then reversed the lower court’s dismissal, with the district court responding by ruling that the church’s free-exercise rights had not been violated by the enforcement. In November 2023, Cedar Park Church appealed again to the 9th Circuit, with a three-judge panel siding with the state in March 2025 before withdrawing its opinion four months later and scheduling a rehearing.

During the Jan. 8 rehearing, Gray argued that the mandate not only violates the Free Exercise Clause but is also not neutral and not generally applicable, treating some secular institutions differently than churches on the issue of exemptions.

“It’s unconscionable for the government to force any church to pay for abortions,” said Gray said in a press release. “The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that the government can’t compel religious organizations to act in violation of their sincerely held faith convictions. Cedar Park, which celebrates and protects life from conception to natural death, has fought long enough to practice what it preaches, and we are urging the court to finally resolve the matter and rule in favor of religious freedom.”

Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Trans Athletes

January 16, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The question before the Supreme Court is essentially this, is there a difference in boys vs. girls. Most with just an average intelligence would say yes, of course. But the high minded intelligence of the liberal mind is not able to understand the question and most certainly not give an answer. Our latest Biden appointee to the Supreme Court, when asked by a senator “what is a woman”, did not know.

I am blabbergasted and dismayed that in the year 2026, with all the knowledge that we have accumulated, that even having the discussion on what is a woman, is not grounds for dismissal from any and all positions in our government!

BELOW are a couple of Justice Thomas questions to the ACLU lawyer before the hearing at the Supreme Court.

Justice Thomas sprung a killer question on the ACLU lawyer: “What remedy are you seeking?” Strangio, flummoxed by such a seemingly simple question said an injunction. Justice Thomas then asked “practically, you would get different treatment based on sex?” and the trap was laid.
Strangio said the plaintiff (a girl who identifies as a boy) would be allowed to get drugs for “a typical male puberty” despite having a “birth sex [of] female.” That answer made clear that girls who identify as boys would get a right under the Constitution to testosterone, but boys who identify as boys would not, which is…sex discrimination! Genius.

So much for equal protection under the law.

The Luciferian radical leftist desire is to feminize the male population. Destroy the American family and sow seeds of chaos. Simply put ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden mankind has been in a questioning mode against the absolute authority of Almighty God. If they so even believe in a higher power, which most don’t.

Liberal white females are the root of much of this problem. Their disdain and outright contempt for the male species has caused a rebellion against males in general, and in particular the order of God’s creation. But let’s not negate the stupidity of liberal males in government, in particular the august mentality of the Governor of Minnesota who puts feminine hygiene products in the boys bathrooms, or men who claim to breast feed their bought and paid for new babies. The mental gymnastics, or should I say the mental instability involved is astonishing.

Let’s put this in perspective: a quick trip to a mental health professional could have solved this whole problem long ago. But alas, it was not so.

Listen to Serena Williams explain it:

“Men’s & women’s tennis are completely different sports. If I played Andy Murray, I’d lose 6-0, 6-0 in 5 minutes….It’s true.

He would kill me. Men are a lot faster, serve harder, & hit harder. I only want to play girls.”

As a father to daughters who played sports, one an NAIA softball player, I can tell you I am all in on women’s sports, but not against men, nor am I for trans of any kind sharing bathrooms, showers or sports. The differences between men and women are a wonderful thing. Together we are better for it. Hmmm….God said the “two shall become one.” Once again God was right!

I Stand Corrected

January 16, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

the following is forwarded from Amir Tsarfati who has deep intelligence concerning Israel and the Middle East. I previously posted an eminent strike against Iran, but I think i should stand corrected, this scenario makes much more sense. Iran is not out of the woods just yet. Enjoy the read. Rh

Both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu understood that if the ayatollahs believed the end was near, they would go all in – launching as many ballistic and cruise missiles, along with explosive drones, as possible. At that moment, neither U.S. bases nor Israel’s home front were prepared to absorb such an attack on such short notice.

President Trump is a highly calculated leader. He believes you either act when you are fully ready and achieve overwhelming success – or you do not act at all.

The events of the past few days were designed to make Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey believe their efforts had borne fruit, while at the same time buying critical time to prepare for any potential Iranian retaliatory action.

In other words – no U.S. carrier was ordered to turn around or head home. An enormous volume of military equipment is moving toward the Middle East. Why? Because a strike is not a matter of if, but of when.

Help may be on the way – but not in the coming hours. Preparation comes first. Then comes the blow. Forwarded from Amir Tsarfati

It’s Like a War Zone

January 15, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Iranian security forces are deliberately firing at protesters’heads to cause them debilitating injuries, local doctors have claimed, citing wounds inflicted on hundreds of patients they have treated.

Over 400 eye wounds from gunshots have been documented at a Tehran hospital by an ophthalmologist working there, according to the Guardian.

The British newspaper reported Tuesday that it received three messages from doctors about conditions in hospitals, which they say have been overwhelmed by demonstrators with gunshot wounds — most of them to the eyes and head.

Security forces have been seen using shotguns to fire metal pellets at protesters, as well as rifles with more lethal ammunition, according to the report.

“[Security forces] are deliberately shooting at the head and the eyes. They want to damage the head and the eyes so they can no longer see, the same thing they did in [2022],” one of the doctors was quoted as saying, referring to anti-government protests at the time.

According to the doctor, many of the injured had to have their eyes removed and were blinded as a result.

“Eyes were hit by birdshot pellets, and it was deliberate; they are shooting to kill,” he said.

A wave of injured people arriving for treatment, which spiked after Iran cut off internet access last Thursday, has left hospitals looking “like a war zone,” the doctor said.

“It’s like in the war movies where you see the injured soldiers getting treated on the open field,” he said. “We don’t have blood, we don’t have enough medical supplies.”

Security forces occasionally enter the medical centers to arrest injured protesters, he said.

Another doctor described treating injured protesters outside in the grounds of the hospital despite freezing temperatures, as there was no space left in the wards.

The US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights also accused Iranian authorities of seeking to intimidate protesters with mutilating injuries to the face and genitals.

“The evidence demonstrates that even when utilizing ‘less-lethal’ weapons, the Islamic Republic deliberately targets vital organs, transforming these tools into instruments of systematic mutilation and permanent disability to terrorize protesters,” a spokesperson said in the Guardian report.

TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prelude to Conflict??

January 15, 2026January 14, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Wanted to drop some things I’m saying online, this will not be a professional post but just several items that all point to a possible conflict between US, Iran and Israel in the next 24 hours

Israel is opening up bomb shelters across the country.

Reuters reports: Forces at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar (the U.S. base that was attacked during Operation With the Might of a Lion) have been instructed to leave the base by this evening.

Report in The Wall Street Journal: Five Iranian banks on the verge of collapse, including Sepah Bank, one of the three largest in the country and considered the central bank of the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian army

Iron Dome batteries on the way to Jerusalem.

Israel holds a card it has kept in reserve – the ability to paralyze two-thirds of Iran’s economy in a single strike.

All it would take is a handful of precision bombs on critical oil infrastructure, and the bottom would fall out of an already struggling economy overnight.

Israel kept this card during the June war as a deterrent: even if the Iranians believed they had more missiles than Israel had interceptors, they knew Israel could make them bleed far more.

Two official European sources tell Reuters: An American attack on Iran is likely within the next 24 hours

IMO

I agree with the sentiment of many people that think something will happen in the next 12 to 24 hours. Trump has put himself on the line, he cannot back down. All indications are that something big is going to happen very soon. Be much in prayer. Be in prayer for the Iranian people. They are trying to throw off the weight of religious persecution. Pray for our troops, and the Israeli army as well. Iran is governed by mad men who care nothing about life. Rh

Iran protest death toll said to be at least 12,000

January 14, 2026 ~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

CBS News cited Iranian sources saying up to 20,000 may have been killed, though only some 2,500 have been confirmed by the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. Israel and Arab states have reportedly advised Washington that the regime is not weakened enough for a military strike to be decisive.

Jan. 14, 2026 / JNS)

More than 12,000 people are feared dead in Iran after a sweeping crackdown on anti-regime protests, with CBS News reporting on Tuesday that sources inside and outside the country believe the toll could be as high as 20,000 and newly verified video showing hundreds of bodies stacked at a morgue near Tehran.

The outlet said the true scope of the bloodshed has been obscured by a near-total shutdown of internet and phone service imposed by Iran’s rulers over the past five days, with only limited outgoing calls allowing word of the killings to leak out.

Activist networks citing medical sources around the country told the network they now believe the death toll stands at a minimum of 12,000 and could reach 20,000, even as an unnamed Iranian official told Reuterssome 2,000 people had been killed since the unrest erupted Dec. 28.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said on Tuesday that it has confirmed 2,403 protester deaths, and that 18,434 people have been detained. HRANA also said that 1,134 people with severe injuries have been reported. jns.org

Serious conditions in Iran. I don’t envy President Trump and the administration, but what the sane world has hoped for may be about to come to fruition. What happens next? IMO strikes must happen soon to stop the carnage. Rh

We are the free world now’ — Europe declares war on free speech in the US

“We are the free world now.” Those words from Raphael Glucksmann, a French socialist member of the European Parliament, captured the pearl-clutching outrage of Europeans after the Trump administration did what no prior administration has ever done — stand up to Europe to defend the freedom of speech.

This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio barred five figures closely associated with European censorship efforts from traveling to the U.S. This includes Thierry Breton, the former European Union commissioner responsible for digital policy.

In a post on X, Rubio declared that the U.S. “will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship” and will target “leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States.”
