Warning – Mid-Terms Are Coming

Senator Tuberville weighs in on the Republican efforts in the mid-terms.  “We are not doing anything.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is among a handful of Senate Republicans publicly expressing frustration about doing everything possible to keep control of the U.S. Senate with the midterm elections looming.

According to a report by The Hill’s Al Weaver, the hopes of passing so-called “big-ticket items” to address affordability concerns this year were “quickly fading away,” according to some Republicans.

In brief remarks to The Hill, Tuberville suggested as much, saying there was little movement by the U.S. Senate.

“Are we doing enough? We’re not doing anything,” he said. “Everybody’s working on getting elected.”

Tuberville, a candidate for governor, has suggested some of the gridlock on Capitol Hill is attributed to the long-standing filibuster rule.

He has been a proponent of ending the filibuster in recent months. In a recent op-ed, the senior U.S. Senator warned of a doomsday scenario without the GOP taking a proactive approach to ending the filibuster.

“Republicans must end the filibuster if we have any hope of keeping a Supreme Court that respects the Constitution,” he wrote. “If we fail, Democrats have already said what they will do when they regain power: pack the courts with radicals who will disregard the Constitution altogether.”  Jeff Poor 1819 News

IMO, we the people have spoken and we haven’t been “paid back” on our investment in the do nothing republican party, especially in the Senate. We have the White House, and both chambers in Congress.  Lots of big talk, but where is the action? Judges need appointment from the Senate, the Save Act needs passing, but nothing.  There is a long laundry list of promises made and very few even attempted, much less kept.

The Filibuster?  What to do with that?  I have mixed emotions.  We all know the fear is what would the democratic socialists do when they regain power?  

Here is a list:

  • drop the filibuster
  • pack the supreme court
  • Impeach Trump
  • Do away with the electoral collage
  • open borders
  • raise taxes – they call it (investments) 
  • destroy America

Too harsh, I don’t think so.  

We have missed a grand opportunity to govern.  Tuberville is right, nothing will get done now.  Recess and campaigning is the mandate now.  

Believe me when I say we are just as close to losing our Republic as before the 2024 election.  What has been codified into law?  Where is Trump on the issues, he tries to bully, but that doesn’t work like private business.  Make some deals with Congress, get it done.  Call them into the Oval and lay down the law.  Govern!

Trump must focus on these mid-terms or he will be the biggest lame duck President ever.  Trump on the campaign trail is classic. Make the right endorsements, let the money flow and let’s win these mid-terms. You can do both Mr. President, chase peace and save the country from degenerate democrats.  “America First” means saving our way of life. You have the purse strings, use ‘em.  Money and endorsements are the mothers milk of politics.

I’m not fear mongering, but just making salient points that need to be addressed.  As the crazy Cajun (Carville) once told Clinton, “it’s the economy stupid,”.  Well Mr. President, “it’s the mid-terms.”  Rh

A Christian Nation1607

Secularists  contend that we are not a Christian nation. They argue that we don’t have righteousness in our roots. The unbelievers in the political far left would unequivocally state, “This nation was not raised up by God.”

No wonder secularists want to steal America’s God-given history. We shouldn’t be surprised that a former President once said we were not a Christian nation, contending that we were also a Muslim nation, a Hindu nation, an atheist nation, and so on. Karl Marx once said, ‘The first battlefield is to rewrite history.’ The demons in Karl Marx knew the power of history. And demons today inspire anti-Christ forces in America to try and rewrite our history, as well. As Believers, what we must do is stake our claim to the fact that God birthed America and we are in covenant with Him. If we war using this truth, He will fight for us and defeat the giants.

It’s important to know that we have a God-given history. He raised up this nation. It’s also important to know the reason why. When Robert Hunt landed on the shores of Cape Henry in 1607, he made the following statement—prophesying, though he may not have called it that. He planted a cross on the beach and said, “The Gospel will go forth from these shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth.”  This is God’s destiny for America!!

It was Israel that gave us the Gospel—the Messiah, Jesus Christ who came from the land of Israel.  America was raised up and given the mantle to trumpet that Gospel and the message of Messiah. There has never been a nation with as great a destiny to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and of salvation. That is our destiny. Our primary destiny is not simply to be the strongest or the richest nation on earth; to the contrary our strength and wealth were given to us in order to fulfill God’s mandate for America.

We have never asked anything for our involvement in the World.  First on the scene and last to leave.  We give money, time and the blood of our military to secure freedom.  If America falls, so falls the whole world for we are the last bastion of freedom and liberty.  God bless the United States of America.

Worthless & Traitorous Republicans

Why can’t republicans get anything done?  They are completely worthless. We the people should fire them and we would, but we can’t. Republicans hold majorities in the House and Senate plus the White House. Nothing gets done. Even the Save Act which is common sense legislation is stalled in the august upper chamber. Why?  Thune is a traitor to his home state and to the American people. He must be compromised. Does someone have pictures of him?  Is he taking bribes?  Is he a closet democrat that hates the will of the people?

In every legitimate poll passing a law to secure our elections is highly favored, even among democrats. Including African Americans and Hispanics. To be against this bill determines your patriotism. Rule of law and free and fair elections mandate only citizens of the United States be allowed to vote in elections.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy.

It would require anyone registering to vote to prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it’s a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.

These morons who tell us it is voter suppression or that minorities won’t be able to prove their citizenship are liars. Prove me wrong. Not passing this bill and vocally standing against passage, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a crooked politician. Case closed. Pass the bill!!

Remember the main reason for having an open border policy under Biden, was to guarantee a new voting block for the democrats.  An underclass that would be beholding to the democratic welfare benefits in exchange for their vote.

Final point. Trump, it’s time to use your political capital. Get these guys in the oval office and read them the riot act!  Give ‘em a flash of the notorious Trump temper! This is a test of your ability to govern, after all  Mr. President you endorsed the leadership in Congress. Thune is your guy. Remember?

Cheating and lying come as easily as breathing for the “UniParty” in D.C., isn’t it time to put an end to their chicanery? We the People!

Action point:

Call Sen. Thune and voice your disapproval now!

Lawmakers and Christians Unite In Prayer For America

Lawmakers, christians, Pastors and CEOs gathered this past week in D.C. to call for repentance and prayer for our nation. We are facing a serious spiritual battle over our country.  Not only have we lost a fear (reverence) of God, we are openly rebelling against what has always been the moral norm in society.  Our churches have become a moral quagmire with erroneous doctrines being preached as truth. Our governmental officials are doing not the “will of the people,” but for their own greed and lust for power.   Hanging on to the lust for power until they crumble and fall from failing health right before our eyes.  

Our battle is spiritual.  As believers we hold the key to the renewal of the United States and the world.  God is not finished with us, but time is running out.  It is time to put off our notions of greatness, humble ourselves, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us our corporate sins, and bring a newness and renewal to our nation.  

WE are in need of forgiveness, repentance and a turning back to the Judeo-Christian values that made America the envy of the world.  God has blessed us to the extent that, IMO we think we are above retribution for a Holy God!  God is not mocked, “for whatsoever a man or nation sows, they shall also reap.”  God have mercy upon us.  Forgive us and restore us….Amen!  Rh

The “Fifth Column”

A “fifth column” refers to a group of people within a country who secretly support its enemies, working to undermine the nation from the inside through sabotage, espionage, or spreading misinformation, often arising from ethnic, racial, or political divisions, and originating from the Spanish Civil War. These clandestine supporters aim to destabilize the government or war effort, acting as an “internal enemy” to aid an external attacker. 

Key aspects of a fifth column: 

  • Origin: Coined by Spanish Nationalist General Emilio Mola in 1936, who claimed four columns of troops marching on Madrid would be joined by a hidden “fifth column” of sympathizers inside the city.

  • Activities: Can range from propaganda, rumor-mongering, and espionage to sabotage and terrorism, often targeting key positions to facilitate an enemy’s takeover.

  • Targets: Frequently targets marginalized communities or ethnic minorities, leading to accusations of conspiracy, political repression, and human rights abuses.

Ok, so what we have in this country is an intentional sabotage by the radical leftist, socialist and most of the hierarchy of the Democratic Party.  Let’s not forget the RINO’s of the Republican part.  I call them the Ruling Class.  

Open the borders and bring in any and all, give them money and welfare benefits, put them into selected areas to have communities that will never assimilate.  Then get them into government.  Start small with local issues them branch out to a state or National base.  Look at the Somalians in Minnesota.  Without them do you think the fraud and the civil war going on there would have happened.  A resounding NO!

A ready made and built in 5th Column ready to use whatever means possibly to hinder, and destroy the American values they took for granted and stole through evil and subterfuge.  

What is happening in America is a civil cultural war.  Ideas and ideologies in war against each other.  Not peaceful.  No organic.  They are planned and orchestrated to do the most damage.  Just as in Islamic Jihad, where death is martyrdom, look how they lift up those who dies during these protests.  The media honors and lies about their character and motives to rile simple minded liberals to the point of more madness.  We are watching tribe vs. tribe mentality spoken of in Matthew 24.

The 5th column is ready and being activated.  Each compromise we make to the radicals only embolden them.  They feed off the chaos and the destruction.  In John 10:10 the Bible says “the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy,” they are only acting out what their god does.  The final move is against the church .  When a so called “journalist” leads an insurrection into a church, we see a natural progression against the main target of the spirit of anti-christ.  They hate anything that is moral and Godly.  I fear soon it will be open season on the Christian community.  

What can we do?  Our most effective weapon is our prayer life.  We live in a world that battles all that is moral and sacred.  The Lord has given us promises that we can influence the unseen world through intercessory prayer.  Our battle is not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in the heavenly realm.  A realm unseen, but very much alive and seeking to control our world.  If that realm were not essential to defeat the enemy, then our Lord would not have had Paul write about it.  

  • Ephesians 6:10-18
  • Matthew 18:18-20

We as the church are to (Eph. 3:10 “to make known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.). These heavenly places unseen, but very much real are located not in Heaven where God resides, but in the atmosphere above the earth.

Not surprised at what is going on, this culture war is a battle between good and evil, right and wrong, freedom or bondage. 

Look up, our redemption draws near!  Maranatha!!

House Advances Bill to Boost Ties With Israel, Eastern Mediterranean

(Jan. 22, 2026 / JNS)

A bipartisan bill aimed at reinforcing U.S. ties with Israel and the Eastern Mediterranean region advanced through the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday by a 45-2 vote.

H.R. 3307, titled the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act, seeks to elevate the region as a strategic priority in U.S. foreign policy by strengthening support for initiatives such as the U.S.-led 3+1 dialogue with Greece, Israel and Cyprus, as well as the East Mediterranean Gas Forum, which covers issues like energy security, regional integration and economic cooperation.  https://www.jns.org/house-panel-advances-bill-to-boost-us-ties-with-israel-eastern-mediterranean/ 

Sunday’s Invasion At Cities Church Shows The Deeply Spiritual Side To The Marxist Movement

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12).

Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in St. Paul, Minn., was invaded by a mob of anti-ICE protestors on Sunday, Jan. 18. Leftist instigators targeted this congregation, alleging one of its pastors is affiliated with ICE in the Twin Cities. Reports reveal that the worship service had to be canceled because of the agitators’ intimidation tactics. 

Paul warned young Timothy that persecution would come upon those who desired to live godly lives. The godless disruptors in St. Paul entered a holy place, a sanctuary set aside for the worship of Almighty God, to prohibit it from sharing God’s Word on a Sunday morning.https://harbingersdaily.com/sundays-invasion-at-cities-church-shows-the-deeply-spiritual-side-to-the-marxist-movement/ 

Trump Launches Board of Peace at Davos

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday launched his Board of Peace at a ceremony on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, attended by representatives of at least 18 nations.

Leaders and representatives from Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan were among those on stage as Trump spoke during the signing ceremony, The Guardian reported. www.watch.org

Trump Announces Artic Deal Framework

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he has developed “a framework for a future agreement” regarding Greenland and the wider Arctic region, following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

In a post on his social platform Truth, Trump described the discussions as “very fruitful” and suggested the proposed plan would benefit both the United States and NATO allies. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-trump-announces-arctic-deal-framework-eyes-us-presence-in-greenland

A Message from Amir Tsarfati

Will Trump’s approach to regime change in Iran resemble the Venezuela model – Ali Khamenei out, but another, more “moderate” ayatollah in?

Is this simply a way for the Iranians to buy time until Trump leaves office?

One thing is clear:

• The Bible is far more accurate than today’s newspapers.

Biblically:

• Persia (Iran) will join a coalition against Israel.

When I hear promises of support for the brave Iranian protesters, I feel deep sadness.

• I know in my heart that none of Trump’s closest advisers are capable of thinking beyond the business dimension.

• If a negotiated deal can buy time and prevent market disruption, the ayatollah regime will remain in power.

The same applies to Hamas.

• Do we really believe it will agree to be dismantled?

• Do we really believe Hezbollah will?

The Middle East is not a business venture like Venezuela.

• It is a region drenched in extreme religious ideology.

• Time and again, it has proven that financial gain and prosperity are no match for the “honor” its adherents believe they attain by leaving this world as martyrs.

Israel had better be prepared for the day it will stand alone, facing the most massive attack – from the north.

The Witkoffs and the Kushners will not be there to help.

BUT God…

IMO here is a great cross section of things that interest me and also have prophetic implications.  We are living in perilous times, as well as “Prophetic Times.” Not to mention the ongoing saga in Gaza, that I foresee as having no real solution until Hamas has been defeated completely.  Compromise and peace deals do not work with the Jihadist, including the evil that is the remine in Iran.  Thousands have been slaughtered in Iran, it is time to act or sit down and shut up. Red lines do no good unless there are consequences for delay tactics and stalling.  Wait and delay is the modus operandi in negotiations with the West. Rh

It’s Like a War Zone

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??

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

Late breaking by Amir Tsarfati BREAKING: The United States is rapidly redeploying the entire USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group out of the South China Sea and steaming full speed toward the Middle East as the U.S. prepares to unleash major strikes on Iran.

Selective Outrage

As with everything the radical Luciferian left does, it is couched in selective outrage. Crying wolf and painting themselves and their causes in fear mongering and victimhood.

Take for example the ongoing crisis in Iran. Iran is a rogue nation bent on not only destruction of Israel, but the United States and all we stand for. (Little satan first, big satan next.). Speaking of Israel and the US.

The left loves anti constitutional entities, choosing dictators over freedom loving people. Take for example choosing a non-existent Palestinian people who could have lived free in Gaza if not for allowing Hamas to take over. (Insert Bill Clinton saying his administration gave the Palestinians a state.) Hamas is financed in part from Iran. It seems the left of America and other nations love dictators and despots. Take Venezuela, the left screams about intervention there. Look at Iran, where is the outrage over gunning down the protesters in the streets. The Iranian people want freedom, isn’t that a cause to get behind not shrink like flowers after the first frost?

The Iranian regime has reportedly shut down the internet, cut electricity, and unleashed security forces using live fire against civilians. Yet tonight, hundreds of thousands are said to be back in the streets of Tehran, waving the lights of their phones in the darkness–silent signals to a watching world that they are still there. In an extraordinary act of defiance, reports indicate that hundreds of mosques have been burned, a declaration by ordinary Iranians that they are done with clerical rule and religious tyranny.

And yet–silence.

Where is the outrage, where is the international community standing with the Iranian people. A free and somewhat democratic Iran tops anything they have now. Where is the Western outrage? Where are the campus protests? Where are the celebrities, the social media campaigns, the carefully worded condemnations? The contrast is impossible to ignore. Protesters who claim to stand for human rights seem energized only when Israel is the villain. When Jews are involved, outrage becomes a public ritual. When a radical Islamist regime kills its own people, the moral urgency evaporates.

Something to think about.

Qatar is biggest foreign funder of US colleges, per Education Department

“Every single dollar given by our adversaries comes with strings attached,” Rep. Tim Walberg told JNS. “Enough is enough.”

AARON BANDLER jns.org

It’s not Israel that’s influencing US policy, it’s the Muslim and Arab world through big payments to our institutions of higher learner. That money comes with big strings attached. Now you know why collage age young people rally for Palestinians. They believe the lie and propaganda. Rh

Jan. 8, 2026 / JNS)

Qatar has been the largest source of foreign funding for U.S. higher education institutions, according to data displayed in a new U.S Department of Education portal.

The portal, which went live on Jan. 2, explains that, under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, federally funded universities are required to disclose, twice annually, any gifts and contracts from a foreign source that are worth at least $250,000 in a calendar year.

Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, told JNS that “our college campuses are being flooded with foreign cash, but every single dollar given by our adversaries comes with strings attached.”

“America’s adversaries exploit these financial ties to steal research, spread divisive propaganda, push indoctrination and undermine free speech,” Walberg said. 

“Enough is enough,” he added. “The Trump administration is making the reporting of foreign funds easier and more transparent so we can protect our students and the integrity of American education.”

Kenneth Marcus, chairman and CEO of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and a former assistant U.S. secretary of education for civil rights, told JNS that he’s “glad that the Trump administration is bringing greater transparency to the enormous amount of foreign money that’s coming into our higher education system.”

According to the dashboard, Qatar was the source of around $6.6 billion to U.S. universities, followed by Germany ($4.4 billion), England ($4.3 billion), China ($4.1 billion), Canada ($4 billion) and Saudi Arabia ($3.9 billion).

Of the schools that received funds from Qatar, Cornell University topped the list with $2.3 billion, followed by Carnegie Mellon University ($1 billion), Texas A&M University ($992.8 million) and Georgetown University ($971.1 million).

“In particular, this portal already shows huge amounts coming in from Qatar,” Marcus told JNS. “It is hard to imagine that this amount of money doesn’t imply some amount of influence, and it’s fair to ask what kind of influence Qatar is obtaining in exchange for its money.”

Overall, the data shows that the value of contracts and gifts from all foreign countries has been $62.4 billion to 527 U.S. colleges and universities.

Brandy Shufutinsky, director of the education and national security program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS that she has questions about the data, such as whether universities are required to report the specific funding entities within a country.

“For example, if an international non-governmental organization or governmental department gave funds to an American university, does that university have to disclose the name of that NGO or governmental department?” she said. (JNS sought comment from the Education Department.)

She also asked whether the portal provides information on how foreign funding is used.

“The idea for the portal should not only be to increase transparency around Section 117, but to allow users to truly understand the level of foreign funding and influence taking place in the American higher education system,” Shufutinsky said.

Linda McMahon, U.S. education secretary, stated that “after years of neglect by the Biden administration, the new portal will assist our institutions of higher education in fulfilling their statutory responsibilities and enable us to protect our national security by facilitating improved compliance.”

According to the portal, Yeshiva University in New York has received $1,097,897 in foreign funding, and Rabbinical College Bobover Yeshiva Bnei Zion in New York received $1.5 million. Both received foreign funding solely from Canadian sources. Yeshiva had three such gifts and the rabbinical college had two.

The Michigan Jewish Institute, a Chabad-affiliated organization in the Detroit area, received a single $250,000 contract from an Israeli source between 2011 and 2013, according to the portal. The institute shuttered in March 2016.

The portal reported a total of $62,4 billion total disclosures to the Education Department up until Jan. 31, 2025, including 117,152 total reports from 194 countries to 527 U.S. colleges and universities.

Brandeis University, which “is animated by a set of values that are rooted in Jewish history and experience,” was listed in the portal as having received $7,816,216 in foreign funding in 17 transactions from the United Nations ($3.9 million), Malaysia ($1.4 million), Hong Kong ($821,000), United Kingdom ($570,000), France ($420,000), Canada ($405,000) and Switzerland ($250,000).

About half of the funding for Brandeis came from restricted contracts (55.9%) and 30.1% were gifts and 14% were restricted gifts.

According to the most recent disclosure file, dated Feb. 28, 2025, Israel had 1,323 transactions for a total of $419,454,891.24 to about 105 institutions. The largest three were contracts to Brigham Young University: $7 million in 2018, $6.5 million in 2020 and $5.2 million in 2019
