Save Act

If we can’t pass the save act, we could lose our Republic, and that is not hyperbole.  The following article makes it clear, now is the time!  Several states including most recently Georgia, have had election issues going back for years. In 2018 I sat in a meeting with a Pastor /mentor who was heavenly involved with emphasizing Biblical values in our elections.  His warning was spot on. He told us that North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas were on the radar as targets to flip democratic. I scoffed, but he was so right.  Only allowing legal voters, and doing away with the nonsense of mail in ballots is a must. Rh

‘Ignoring Human Nature’: Using Biblical Reasoning, Rubio Pinpoints Why Globalism Is A Recipe For Disaster – Harbinger’s Daily

One particular statement was truly profound, and its tremendous accuracy stems from being bred out of a Biblical worldview. Discussing the collapse of communism in Germany, Rubio warned that the celebration of this success in the West quickly morphed into an ill-conceived fantasy about the future of nations. This globalist…

Negotiations Are Complicated

You may be wondering why I spend so much time on the Iran issue in the Middle East. Simple, much of Bible prophecy being seen and possibly being confirmed today is central to the Iran issue.  Israel and Jerusalem are the focal point to end time prophecy.  The world has tried to kill the Jews, discount them and destroy them, “but God.”  After all my calling is taking current events and aligning them up with Bible prophecy.  

My take is no credible deal will be made.  However the US has made bad deals before.  I am praying for the negotiation team to avert war, but Iran is driven by religious ideologies that most westerners don’t begin to understand.  I posted a previous article just today about that. 

Check out Secretary Rubio and his thoughts on the ongoing talks with Iran.

Transtifa Strikes Again

Transtifa strikes again, earlier on this blog I wrote of the radicalization of a section of the Trans community.  In fact, they have partnered with Antifa to form another radicalized and extreme left wing organization spreading chaos and death.  Why are radical leftist so prone to violence?  That is a question I have no definitive answer to, but as a Christian I believe the answer is found in hopelessness, and anger.  Just as most, if not all violence is a way of spreading fear to gain their end goals.  Notice it seems trans violence is mostly focused on schools and children. A most vulnerable and easy target. Another event that proves our battle is spiritual. Jesus Christ is our only hope. I lift up prayers for this small community in Canada.  Rh

Canada Reels From Mass School Shooting

A transgender 18-year-old former student killed eight people and woundedroughly 25 others in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings, police said, striking a small British Columbia town of about 2,400 people.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police identified the shooter on Wednesday as Jesse Van Rootselaar, who fatally shot a 39-year-old woman believed to be his mother and an 11-year-old stepbrother at home before storming Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where more were killed. The school victims included five students, ages 12 to 13, and a female teacher.

Police said they had visited the family home multiple times over mental health concerns and had previously seized firearms. Van Rootselaar dropped out of school about four years ago and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

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.

Pro Pot Lies Go Up In Smoke

Pro-Pot Lies go Up in Smoke

“The New York Times Editorial Board has just admitted what Eagle Forum has known for years: America has a marijuana problem. The lies that Big Weed has been peddling are going up in smoke,” said Kris Ullman, President of Eagle Forum.

The New York Times admits that many of the pro-legalization crowd’s predictions have proved untrue. Daily marijuana use has not gone down but has tripled.  Marijuana addiction and dependence are not “relatively minor problems” but have led to increases in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, marijuana-linked paranoia and chronic psychotic disorders, and THC-related auto accidents.

“We commend the New York Times for acknowledging the problems created by easy access to recreational and medical marijuana. We agree that the United States ‘has recently gone too far in accepting and even promoting its use,’” Ullman continued. “That is why Eagle Forum has made educating and advocating against marijuana use a top priority for 2026.”

There are many things that governments can and should do to regulate marijuana. THC potency should be limited, not marketed like candy, and not sold as medicine without full FDA approval. Pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid marijuana entirely. Young people, especially young men, need to be told the truth about the risks of permanent harm to brain development. At a minimum, marijuana should carry black-box warnings about lifelong risks, and no one under 25 should be allowed to purchase it or work in the industry. Foreign nationals and corporations should not be allowed to own marijuana farms or processing operations in the United States. And State and local governments should enforce their laws against the public consumption of marijuana, just as they do for alcohol. The smell of weed is a public nuisance.

Artificial Intelligence; a lesser god?

AI is going nowhere, it is here to stay.  The AI revolution is moving way too fast for comfort. The technology is, to coin a movie title, fast and furious.  From technocrats to governments to everyday people, AI is here to stay, but the ramifications are still unknown.  For one, many companies are looking to replace workers with AI. What will that do for the economy? Others look to AI as a lesser god that can bring unlimited knowledge and power to the human race. Below is a nice article that tackles some of my concerns as a Christian.   Has the genie been let out of the bag? Rh

Hath God Said??  Ai & Doctrines of Devils

Since the garden of Eden the age old lie has been played with the question, hath God said?  “If doubt can be applied to holy scriptures, then is it really true?”  Also doubters will quickly add the question, “but does it apply to today?”  When we begin to doubt the authenticity of the Word, it is the first step on a slippery path to deception and the making of doctrines of devils.  (1 Timothy 4:1)  I have a post concerning AI from a renowned Pastor scheduled for tomorrow, but this post is too important not to post.  So Part 1 today and Part 2 tomorrow.  Be blessed!

A Potpourri  of Middle Eastern Prophetic News  (nation against nation)

  • Iran Conflict 

Official Saudi News Agency:

During a conversation between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, bin Salman emphasized that Saudi Arabia will not allow the use of its territory and airspace for military actions against Iran.

##

With this, Saudi Arabia joins the United Arab Emirates, which issued a similar statement the day before yesterday.

(Abu Ali)

The front page of the conservative Iranian newspaper Al-Mashari today was devoted to threats against the United States and Israel:

“Trump and Netanyahu will be put on trial and punished. This is Iran – a mistake will be met with a response.”

The headline further stated:

“No American soldier in the region will be safe. Dozens of American bases in the region will be Iran’s first targets. Iran’s missiles will crush the infrastructure of the occupied territories. The Iranian Navy will sink U.S. warships. Israel’s military bases, as in the 12-day war, are within the range of our missiles.”

 The rumors of the failed coup in China:

Out of the 7 members in the Central Military Commission in China, the supreme body responsible for building and deploying military power, 2 remain who have not been arrested or disappeared.

A network of more than 80 doctors in 12 provinces in Iran estimates that the number of deaths in the clashes surrounding the protests in Iran is higher than 30,000. According to the report, the estimate is based on the conclusion that the deaths officially recorded as related to the suppression of the protest likely represent less than 10% of the actual number of deaths.

(The Guardian)

  • China

The rumors of the failed coup in China:

Out of the 7 members in the Central Military Commission in China, the supreme body responsible for building and deploying military power, 2 remain who have not been arrested or disappeared.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Greek word for nation is “ethos” which means ethnic groups, races or “tribes.” What we see in many areas are just that. Tribal warfare from the Middle East, Russia vs. Ukraine, to Chinese aggression against Taiwan, to the impending and constant skirmishes in America. (Just my take.) Rh

Sorry Mr. President; We Can’t Be “Flexible” on Tax Payer Funded Abortion

IMO this is a hard fact that if any politician turns his or her back on the pro-life stance, they have lost my vote. I will NEVER vote for someone who sanctions murdering babies in the womb!! That is my red line in the sand and millions of other Americans stand with me. Rh

President Trump’s suggestion that Congressional Republicans be “a little flexible” on the Hyde amendment is just the latest backstep from the pro-life positions that once had people referring to him as “the most pro-life President in history.” The Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion and has been inserted into appropriations bills since 1976. Rep. Henry Hyde was the first to insert the language and the issue has been hotly contested ever since.

During the Clinton Administration, Republicans shut down the government rather than support spending bills that did not contain Hyde protections. During Affordable Care Act debates in the Obama Administration, pro-life Democrats—now extinct in the nation’s capital—threatened to kill the bill unless Hyde protections were in place. It was even a defining issue of the 2020 presidential election. Former President Joe Biden had supported the Hyde Amendment for decades in Congress but abandoned that position when it became a requirement for gaining the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.

The amount of political capital invested in preserving the Hyde Amendment until now is part of what makes President Trump’s suggestion to become “a little flexible” peculiar. Republicans control everything in Washington, D.C. Why abandon hard won territory when you’re still in charge?

Maybe the president spoke loosely. After all, less than a year ago—on Jan. 24, 2025—he signed an executive order titled “Enforcing the Hyde Amendment,” which vowed to uphold Hyde and to reverse actions by the Biden Administration that had undermined Hyde’s intent. If the issue was meaningful enough to warrant an executive order a year ago, why is he now preparing people to surrender it? 

Nevertheless, the pivot is not completely surprising. Trump has been retreating from orthodox pro-life positions ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. A series of state ballot measures in which the abortion industry prevailed—even in conservative states—appears to have convinced him that the pro-life cause is a loser, and we all know how the president feels about losers. At the Republican convention in 2024, the Trump team stripped the Republican platform of its clear pro-life positions. As president, he has become a vocal advocate for in vitro fertilization, which results in the death of more than 90% of the embryos it creates, and the administration has recently defended Biden administration rules related to abortion drugs.

But abandoning the Hyde Amendment would arguably be even more troubling because it is a moral minimum. It is the reasonable middle ground even Joe Biden supported for decades. The Hyde Amendment is not fundamentally about abortion, but conscience rights. It doesn’t limit anyone’s ability to have an abortion; it simply prohibits the government from forcing taxpayers to pay for their neighbor’s abortions. The Hyde Amendment is not an extreme position, opposition to it is.

The president’s statements were made to House Republicans at their annual policy retreat in Washington, D.C. On the heels of the longest government shutdown in history, President Trump understandably would like to avoid another. In addition, healthcare debates are expected to dominate 2026, and Hyde Amendment language is always a sticking point in every healthcare debate. Given the slim Republican majority in the House, made even smaller by the recent death of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, it makes sense to get in front of predictable political disputes. But in this case, President Trump seems to have miscalculated what’s negotiable and what isn’t, and in the process insulted the voting bloc arguably most responsible for both of his presidential campaign victories.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has responded to Trump’s statements by saying he will not allow taxpayer money to be used for abortion, and he is not alone. The reason this has been a red line issue for generations is because people care. Thankfully, not everything for everyone is negotiable, and no amount of encouragement to be “flexible” from the president will change that. While Trump may not understand the resolve, President “art of the deal” should be better at reading the room.
