Fantastic read, blending geopolitics with a spiritual component that is needed for this day we live in. Intercession and prayers must continually be offered unto the King of Kings on behalf of Israel and the United States. We are in at time of spiritual battle. Let the remnant be strong! Rh
Epstein Horrors: Official Sleight of Hand about Millions of Pages of Unreleased Evidence: It’s not all “Child Porn”, Not all Destroyed | The Gateway Pundit | by Assistant Editor
— Read on www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/epstein-horrors-official-sleight-hand-about-millions-pages/
Let’s just be real plain about this. Pam Bondy in no uncertain terms said she had the Epstein files on her desk and was looking into it. If you notice, she seemed very uncomfortable even saying that in that earlier interview. However, now she comes out and says there is no list.
The Attorney General needs to do a press conference and clear the air. There are far more questions than answers. Trump needs to get involved! After all, he’s the boss.
But let’s go even further with this, where are the arrest? The auto pen scandal, the money that can not be accounted for sent to Ukraine. The billions of dollars that have been stolen from our country through all these scandals, including the Social Security scandal. There is enough evidence to start bringing people before grand juries. That makes me think the DOJ and the FBI are dirty as sin. I’ve always known we had bad actors in our government, rotten apple so to speak, but I sure didn’t know that the whole bushel basket was rotten. I’ve always been the kind of guy that wanted to trust our government. Wanted to believe that they were doing for the most part what was right. But not anymore. It’s time to have a revolution, not with guns or bombs,but at the ballot box. We must get out the vote and vote there scoundrels out of office. No elected official should get rich in public office, if they do they are dirty and a criminal. Guarantee it.
This is the kind of illicit activity by our government that makes it so very hard to get people to vote. People won’t register to vote and refuse to vote because they don’t think it does any good. They realize that even good people get to DC and get sucked into the swirling drain pit of the swamp. We need term limits. We need to guarantee that our elections are free and fair and those who are not eligible to vote, do not vote.
I always knew we had rotten apples in the basket of DC, but I did not know that all the apples were rotten to the core.
We are losing our country because of despots in our government.
It is time people are arrested. Between what happened to Trump in 2016 with crossfire hurricane, with all those that stole money through Medicare, Social Security, etc., people need to be in jail. And if we don’t see anything happen, which right now I don’t believe anything is going to happen, then Trump is as dirty as the rest of them. I say that having voted for Trump three times and believing that he really meant what he said before the election of this year. But now I’m getting more curious about what in the world is going on in the United States of America.
In closing, I know that Trump worshippers think that he’s got something up his sleeve. Well, is so, now is the time to reveal the plan. He needs to roll up his sleeves and get to work in fixing America. He was voted in to be chief executive of the United States of America, let’s do it Trump. Let’s get it done. Drain the swamp whoever is in it including your good buddies like Lindsey Graham. Drain it put the treasonous swamp rats in jail. Either do it, or we lose our country.
God bless America. And may God bring us to repentance before it’s too late. Rharris
URGENT PRAYER NEEDED
ARE WE LOOKING AT ANOTHER BLACK MONDAY?
Good – BBB passed
Bad – Saudi Arabia: secret meetings
Ugly – Judea & Samaria
Good: budget deal
Legislative Breakdown: What’s in the Big Bill
Bad: Secret meetings
Will this Monday be a “black Monday”, will Israel be sold out and told to accept a deal that is not in their best interest? A few weeks ago Prime Minister Netanyahu flew from Europe to get Trump’s blessing to attack the nuclear facilities in Iran. Trump told him to stand down and allow the US to broker a deal with Iran. No deal was reached and the attacks happened anyway. My fear is the same for this Monday, Israel needs to be in on all talks that concern peace in the Middle East. They are our long-time partners.
Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman secretly met with President Donald Trump and other key officials in the White House on Thursday to discuss de-escalation efforts with Iran, multiple sources confirmed with Fox News.
According to sources, the talks included discussions about de-escalation with Iran and getting to the negotiating table. The talks were also reportedly about ending the war in Gaza and negotiating the release of the remaining hostages – whether dead or alive – and about working toward peace in the Middle East. Although the talks were not exclusively about the possibility of normalization with Israel, sources said the conversation dealt with steps that needed to occur to get there.
The Saudis are in the process of finalizing a defense and trade deal with the U.S., and the message shared between the two allies, sources added, is that they see eye-to-eye on all issues.
Ugly: It’s all about the land.
Remember James Carville ( insert crazy Cajun dialect) “It’s the economy stupid” to President Clinton on his re-election bid. Well with Israel it is “all about the land.”
Fast forward to today: we are seeing signs of another round of Abraham Accord expansion, driven by geopolitical ambition and economic interests. Letters of warning have been sent to the White House by Pastors and Christian Conservatives, (myself included), but don’t yet know if they’ve reached President Trump’s desk. But the message remains the same
Let us watch closely. Let us pray fervently. What are his faith advisors telling him?
Wrap up
Sage words from Ambassador Mike Huckabee : “Hamas has “no future” in Gaza, it would be like the Nazis rebuilding Germany after WW2
Prayer points below:
Paul Strand
This is a wonderful, factual article. The left has duped American to believe a lie. Our founders were terrified of a government run church. After seeing the overreach of government these last few years, their fear is well grounded. Enjoy the article. Rh
The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. And legal battles in recent years over religious liberty in the U.S.A. raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep the government free from religion, or religion free from government?
These days, the phrase “wall of separation between church and state” has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state.
Fear of an All-Powerful State Church Wed to the Power of the Government
They were afraid of what so many of the Old World countries had: a religion established by the state as its one true religion, that would tyrannically rule over the faith and conscience of every citizen.
As the Providence Forum’s Peter Lillback put it, “They recognized having a monolithic church was a dangerous thing.” That’s because it made the king not only their physical sovereign but also their all-powerful spiritual ruler.
Before the Pilgrims fled England, Wallbuilders’ David Barton recalled, “The Pilgrims’ pastor was executed because he made the statement that Jesus Christ is head of the church. And the monarch said, ‘Oh no, I’m the head of the church. You’re dead.’”
Wouldn’t Allow a Church of America Like the Brits Had the Church of England
Knowing of such terror and tyranny, AmericanMinute.com historian William Federer explained how the Founders felt: “Their big fear was the federal government was going to follow the blueprint of every country in Europe and pick one national denomination.”
So what they meant by saying in the First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” was that the federal government was banned from creating – or “establishing” – a national religion with the national government wedded to it.
“They didn’t want to have a national, established Church of America like you have the Church of England, forcing people to believe something that they didn’t believe in,” said Jerry Newcombe, host of the radio program “Vocal Point”.
“What they said was, ‘We don’t want a state church here. Consciously, therefore, they were separating the church from government,” Lillback said.
But that was strictly to protect the churches and each believer’s faith and conscience from the government.
All About Protecting Each American’s Conscience and Freedom to Believe
Not only did the First Amendment say, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” but it also said, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
“What they wanted was the freedom that we have in the Bible: the rights of conscience,” Barton said. “And they didn’t want the state telling us how we could or couldn’t practice our faith.”
Lillback said the Founders keeping government control away from faith meant, “Each of us has a right to be who we are before God. It has been well said and it’s a classic statement of religious liberty that man is not free unless he is free on the inside. We have to have the freedom to believe what we believe. That’s what the First Amendment protects.”
God: He’s on Both Sides of the Wall’
And that’s what Christian historian Eddie Hyatt explained Thomas Jefferson was talking about when he wrote the letter that first used the famous “wall of separation” phrase to a group of worried Baptists.
“He said that the First Amendment had erected a wall of separation that would protect them from any intrusion of the government,” Hyatt stated. “In Jefferson’s mind, the wall of separation was a uni-directional wall, put there to keep the government out of the church; not to keep the influence of the church out of the government.”
There was no antipathy towards the Lord in all of this, Lillback insisted, saying, “But the idea of God: He’s on both sides of the wall. And He’s welcome there. And He should be.”
The Government Is Reaching Over that Wall, Bossing Around People of Faith
But today, there’s been a complete flip.
Lillback said, “Those who once believed in this really high and impregnable wall of church and state, we now see the government reaching over that wall and saying, ‘but don’t preach that text of scripture.’”

Barton added, “All of a sudden the government’s regulating religious activities, which is what Jefferson said they would not do because of separation of church and state.”
Hyatt lamented, “The Founders would be so distressed to see how that statement has been turned on its head.”
As Newcombe explained, “They absolutely did not mean the separation of God and government, which is what’s often being practiced today.”
No One ‘Under Government,’ but Each One ‘Under God’
Lillback encourages Americans to remember what the nation’s Founders intended.
“This is a theistic government. So God was not separated from government,” he insisted. “So any interpretation of the First Amendment that takes God out of government is turning the whole story on its head. Rather it was taking a formal state church out of the equation, leaving it up to each individual. But all, as we still say, ‘under God.’ That was the view of our Founders.”
They believed a nation based on liberty could only stay free if its citizens were godly people. As Barton pointed out, believers in God have their eyes on eternity, and it makes them practice self-control.
Knowing You’ll Answer to God Makes You Govern Yourself
“When you’re God-conscious, you realize, ‘ya know, I’m going to have to answer to Him for what I do,’ and it limits my bad behavior,” Barton stated.
Newcombe added, “That’s something the Founders believed very strongly: that we’re going to be accountable before God.”
Hyatt said of those Founders, “They knew that they were creating a nation for a free people, but also for a virtuous people who would govern themselves from within.”
You need very little police power if people, because of conscience, will police themselves.
Green Bean Control Laws?
“Self-control is what you need,” Barton explained. “We can pass all the control laws we want. But unless you control the heart, you’ll never control behavior. I mean, I can kill somebody with a can of green beans. What are we going to do? Pass green bean control laws if somebody does that? No. It’s on the inside.”
And the Founders knew to keep America true and free, they also needed the perfect law of a loving, all-wise God.
As Lillback put it, “There was a clear understanding that the government needed to have an ultimate check and balance, even beyond the people that ran it and their elections. And that is the transcendent law of God. And so that is why when we look at our Declaration of Independence, there are four references to Deity.”
Going through the Declaration, Lillback laid them out: “‘We’re endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.’ The laws of God and nature. And it tells us there’s an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world. And, finally, a dependence on the Providence of God. Four references to Deity.”
Not Godless at All
But then came the US Constitution, which some say is a godless document because God isn’t mentioned in it. As soon as they were done with it, though, the Founders called for a day of Thanksgiving to God.
“They were not thinking ‘let’s get rid of God,'” Lillback stated. “They said, ‘We have been given now a new Constitution, and now amendments that give us our freedoms. And where do we turn? We turn to heaven and thank God for this.'”
“Now, if their intent was to get rid of God from government, boy did they miss their point,” Lillback said. “Because they turned around and thanked Him for everything that they had. It shows the utter historical absurdity of ‘the godless Constitution’.”
Constitution’s Last Words Reference Christ
And God isn’t really absent from the Constitution or its authors’ lives.
“They are not godless,” Lillback insisted. “They are people who, at the very end of their work, said, ‘In the year of our Lord, 1787.’ The very last words in the Constitution are a reference to Jesus Christ.”
He concluded, “It’s no surprise then that the ultimate motto is We are One Nation Under God.”
Below is an excellent article that captures so very much about the stamina and drive of the Jewish people and a small nation called Israel. Rh
This is an excellent article by Alister Heath, a British journalist for the Daily Telegraph:
There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is.
They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is.
A nation this small should not be this strong. Period.
Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.
And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow.
In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will.
They turn desert into farmland.
They make water from air.
They intercept rockets in mid-air.
They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes.
They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win.
The world watches this and can’t make sense of it.
So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand.
They assume it must be cheating.
It must be American aid.
It must be foreign lobbying.
It must be oppression.
It must be theft.
It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power.
It must be blackmail.
Because heaven forbid it’s something else.
Heaven forbid it’s real.
Heaven forbid it’s earned.
Or worse, destined.
The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength.
That’s not normal.
It’s not political.
It’s biblical.
There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.
There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence.
And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv.
Israel doesn’t make sense.
Unless you believe in something beyond the math.
This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all.
Maybe He’s still in the story.
Maybe history isn’t random.
Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word.
Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony.
That’s what they can’t stand.
Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal.
So they deny it.
They smear it.
And rage against it.
Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises.
And He’s keeping them still!
President Trump’s Rushed Abraham Accords: Is Consequential Political Failure Ahead? by William Koenig | Koenig’s Eye View
— Read on watch.org/node/132599
Prayerfully consider the article above. Well stated with many concerns that I have as well. Something has been off with the Abraham Accords since day one, at least that was my feeling. We are living in Biblical times. You were born for such a time as this. Rh
Any Congressman that votes for illegal aliens to receive one red cent of benefits, should be removed from office and tried for treason. That is my money that I have paid into for decades. They are not deserving of anything but a quick trip back to their homeland.
Being raised on a farm, I learned the value of hard work. I learned how to drive a tractor at a very early age, probably around 10 or 12 years of age. At fourteen I was hired out to a family member to work every day including Saturday from 7:00 AM till 7:30 PM. I earned $10 a day. Hard work and self reliance was instilled at an early age and has continued throughout my life. I worked for almost 60 years, and so did my wife.
I know some will cry crocodile tears over this essay, but I said what I said. Why are we as a people electing representatives who allow our country to be changed from what it was, to what it will become by illegals who care nothing about our way of life? Look at the protests, they hate our government, unless they are receiving our money. It is a fundamental changing of the values of America. It is time to stop the insanity.
Let me repeat, any Congressman who votes to approve any budget that gives our money away in benefits to illegals needs to be tried for treason. They are contributing to the decline and fall of America.
God have mercy on us and save us from the stupidity and the purposeful destruction of this land that is a God ordained Republic. Rh
