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

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

~ 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??

~ 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

Selective Outrage

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

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

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

“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

Prayer Alert

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Morning prayer warriors!

Urgent need for prayer today.  It seems our President and his administration are making deals with the devil, and no one can do that without getting burnt.  Much on my mind as I see a crumbling of foundational support for Israel and a cozying up to the Arab and Muslims in the MIddle East.  Prayer points below.

  • Worldwide intifada (various attacks here in the US, Australia, France, Germany). Devil knows his time is short.
  • Wisdom for Trump.(he needs a true spiritual advisor)
  • Deal making with the sponsor of terror. (Qatar)
  • Saudi Arabia is pushing for a two state solution.  (Blowback on America if done)
  • Peace commission (10 members) most anti Israel.
  • Trump’s pride getting in the way.  (God’s plan??)
  • Trump & Vance telling not asking Israel to stop settlements in Judea & Samaria.
  • Syria (next hotspot)??

I could go on and on, I see dangerous times for the US if we get in bed with the Islamist.  We seem to have pushed investments over the covenant for peace. We must never forget God’s eternal covenant with Abraham.  (My opinion)

God is sovereign!  I am not hopeless, but hopeful!  The blessed hope!  Two rivers flowing side by side, one righteous (God is moving) another evil.  Let’s ask for spiritual rain for the righteous river to overflow.  I sense this is a particular Kronos time.  Rh

Big Brother Grid Control – From Where You Drive To What You Post

After 9-11 we imposed draconian security measures. Safety was a top priority, however it opened a Pandora’s box. We see more and more intrusion into our daily lives. Today because of past administration who open our borders and let anyone and everyone in, we have once again allowed more intrusion into private lives. Some is good, but most is not. Do we give up our rivals and ultimately freedoms, or safety?? I say no, interesting article I hope you read, link above. Be safe. Rh

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Bin Salman on normalization with Israel

  • :We want to be a part of Abraham accords, but we also want to make sure that we ensure a path to a tow-state solution”.
  • Bin Salman: “Yes, absolutely Mr. President. We want peace for Israelis, we want peace for Palestinians.”
  • Trump asked about the F-35 deal, if it was conditional on normalization with Israel as Israel wanted. Trump: “Israel will be satisfied, they are aware of that.

Satisfied is different that Israel getting what they want. Politician speak. No doubt Israel will have to take a big spoon full of sugar to get this deal and many others being worked on done.

I have been against the sale of F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia, however Amir Tsarfati “let me be clear no F-35 anywhere in the world is comparable to the Israeli ones, simple because Israel has installed Israeli-made systems that are unique to its occupational needs. The similarities are only external.” I must say that makes me feel better. I have also heard others say that the close connection between Israel and the US is that Israel will tell us how to make ours better once they put upgraded systems in the jets. Amazing! The money we send to Israel comes back in dividends to America, unlike any other money sent abroad.

Footnote: anyone expecting true peace is fooling themselves. New survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.

  • More that 50% Gazans support Hamas conduct in the war
  • Same % oppose any attempt to dismantle or disarm the orginization
  • 44% Gazans & 59% of West Bank Arabs claim that Hamas’s decision to attack on October 7th was the right thing to do.
  • Even after thousands of deaths in Gaza – Hamas is not only still alive, but thriving.

If one believes the poll, which does not surprise me at all. Peace is elusive and since Phase 1 has not been accomplished, how can we move on and expect Phase 2 (disarmament to be accomplished.) Rh

MAGA dies by a thousand cuts

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Olivia Murray

As a part of the MAGA movement, although I was never a sycophant over Trump believing he could do no wrong, he is after all an egotistical politician and very flawed. He was our best hope considering the state of our country. Below is an interesting article that touches on many of my concerns as well. Let me know what you think? Rh

I didn’t vote for 50-year mortgages. I don’t want to spend half a century just paying off a modest house, forking over hundreds of thousands of extra dollars in interest alone.

So after 50 years, you might finally have your house in your name. What happens when property taxes price you out of that home, assuming you can even afford 50 years of property tax increases? Consider that in just 13 years (between 1980 and 1993), property taxes rose a whopping 62% in after-inflation dollars for Americans. Between last year and now, property taxes nationwide rose 3%. If that trend holds exactly the same (impossible as long as debt goes up and money keeps getting inflated), that’s an astronomical increase over the next half-century. As of 2024, the average property tax bill for a single-family home in the U.S. was right around $4,712. At a 3% interest increase each year, that means in 50 years, that yearly property tax bill will be $20,656.97.

Quite the spokesman for the “You will own nothing and be happy” World Economic Forum campaign.

What’s Trump’s next proposal going to be, 15-year car loans? Is he going to get behind the debt slavery offered at the Wal-Mart checkout line that offers financing for a small grocery haul?

I didn’t vote to bring in 600,000 Chinese “students” to keep leftist universities afloat. In fact, I want these colleges, using my money to spew leftism, indoctrinate generations into mindlessness, and enshrine depravity into our culture to go out of business. I want a free market in education.

I didn’t vote for $2,000 tariff reimbursements, whether they’re paid for with already collected revenue (which includes some of my money as costs for imported products have already risen and I’ve paid higher prices), or future “anticipated” revenue from the tariffs, paid for by adding to the already staggering $38 trillion debt.

I didn’t vote for the Indian worker first, or the South Korean worker first. I voted for the American worker first. That’s what Trump promised us, and now he’s backtracking:

He says we don’t have talented people, that the American workforce doesn’t have enough people capable of making batteries, or working in a factory. I couldn’t disagree more.

I voted for all that talk about mass deportations, and we’re getting lower numbers than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Sure, he’s getting infinitely more resistance because he’s Trump, but he’s still president. So what if he violates an order from some leftist activist judge? The consequence is just one more lawsuit. Who cares? Why won’t he be the “monster” the left thinks he is? The housing market is at a breaking point because of supply and demand laws—throw out 100 million illegals living here and it’s problem solved…without half-century bank-owned rental agreements.

I

voted for denaturalizations, particularly foreigners who allegedly marry their own siblings to defraud the American system, or who omit their participation in socialist and leftist activities to again, game entry. Why are Zohran and Ilhan still here? Where is the heat?

I didn’t vote for NBA gambling busts. I don’t care. I voted for the Epstein list, arrests of deep state traitors and criminal congressmen, and I voted for law and order that matters. I don’t care if people drive 10 miles over the speed limit, and I don’t care if someone leaks a text about Lebron James and an ankle injury. But what did I get? Some guy named Chauncey Billups is now in the hot seat, facing the full might of the federal government.

I voted for an end to cronyism, but then I read about Kash Patel taking our private jet to watch his girlfriend sing the national anthem at an event in Pennsylvania, before presumably dropping her off at her home in Nashville. Sure, he has to “reimburse” the government the cost of a commercial ticket, but we still have to offset the tens of thousands of dollars it actually costs to fly privately on personal jaunts.

I voted for an administration that would respect the strict limits placed upon the federal government by our founders, but I got a Pam Bondi DOJ that “has no plans to abandon its previous arguments” made by Merrick Garland’s DOJ against gun rights.

If Trump pisses away these four years doing nothing much of note, governing like a total middle-of-the-road president, we’re in for such a world of hurt when the left inevitably comes to power again. They’re maniacal, having been whipped into hysterical frenzies, and they’re out for blood, and without cleaning up our country and enforcing real justice and accountability, they’re going to get it. They’re going to make us pay dearly for a completely squandered four years.

What in the world is Trump doing?
