Will Trump’s Game-Changing Plan for Gaza Succeed in Ending the Cycle of Terrorism?

By Erick Stakelbeck - https://harbingersdaily.com/will-trumps-game-changing-plan-for-gaza-succeed-in-ending-the-cycle-of-terrorism/

It’s been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. That’s why Tuesday’s meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was so historic. Trump dropped a potentially game-changing idea on how to fix Gaza, a tiny coastal strip that’s been home to misery for its own residents and for Israel going back decades.

Folks, Gaza right now is essentially a giant heap of rubble thanks to the war that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7th, 2023, by massacring 1,200 Israelis. On that dark day, Hamas literally brought judgment down upon the heads of every Gazan.

Discussing the results of Hamas’ demonic obsession with destroying Israel, the President stated:

Trump: “The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It’s right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They’re living under fallen concrete that’s very dangerous and very precarious… Gaza is a hellhole right now. It was before the bombing started, frankly. And we’re going to give people a chance to live in a beautiful community that’s safe and secure. And I think you’re going to see a tremendous outflowing of support.

Gaza is in ruins, and now Hamas has been largely smashed as Israel continues to secure the remaining hostages held by the terror group—as part of a shaky ceasefire deal. It’s very clear to everyone that things cannot go back to how they were. Hamas must be completely destroyed and the population of Gaza, which voted Hamas into power, must be deradicalized.

Here’s the problem: the only solution the so-called “International Community” has come up with thus far is to pour countless billions of dollars into rebuilding Gaza, which will take years—only to see it turn once again into a hellish cauldron of Palestinian terror and antisemitic extremism. In other words, the same tired failed ideas leading to the same horrific outcome. The very definition of insanity! But then along comes Donald Trump, putting forward a very different vision for Gaza that’s completely “outside the box.”

Trump: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. And I don’t want to be cute. I don’t want to be a wise guy. But the Riviera of the Middle East, this could be something that could be so magnificent.

During the press conference, you could almost hear the sound of jaws dropping—from the headquarters of the UN, the European Union, and Arab capitals in the Middle East all the way to the offices of the Democrat Party here in America. All of the above have been all-in on the same failed cycle of insanity. They pour countless billions into rebuilding Gaza after every new war that Hamas launches, only to see the Iranian proxy pocket those dollars, building more rockets and terror tunnels.

As President Trump pointed out, Gaza right now is uninhabitable and will be for a long time. Therefore, what he is suggesting is relocating the roughly 1.8 million Palestinians who live in Gaza to other Arab Muslim countries, like Jordan and Egypt. Then Gaza would be completely rebuilt without the constant threat of Hamas looming. The United States would turn this hellish place into an economic development zone, creating thousands of jobs and a beautiful tourist destination right on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Now, this plan would obviously not happen overnight. Hamas has been extremely weakened, but it’s not dead yet; there are also still some 79 hostages being held in Gaza and the obvious issue of relocating close to 2 million people. President Trump’s proposal is the first original solution put forward for Gaza in a very long time. Once again, he proves that he’s a visionary leader and an outside-the-box thinker, just as he did during his first term. When he forged the Abraham Accords peace treaties between Israel and its Arab neighbors, he also moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem—a move which made the usual suspects howl in opposition, just as they’re doing now with news of his Gaza proposal.

Can it work? I believe it can.

Remember, the Palestinians who live in Gaza have a relatively brief connection to that strip of land going back only decades. Would they really be opposed to a fresh start elsewhere in a nice new neighborhood without the threat of violence lurking around every corner? As for suggestions that this would be nation-building like the US attempted in Iraq, since the strip would first be emptied of its population, terrorists would not be sniping and bombing US citizens as they worked to rebuild Gaza.

You may think it all sounds crazy. If that’s your view, consider this (there may just be a method to the madness): even if his Gaza plan never materializes, what President Trump just did was smash decades of failed thinking and ignite a new conversation, a new approach to one of the world’s longest running problems. That is leadership, and that is the art of using leverage, which we’ve seen Trump do repeatedly with the likes of Mexico, Canada, Colombia, and Panama since he took office just weeks ago.

Then there is Iran. During his press conference with Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump announced that maximum pressure is back:

Trump: “Today, I also took action to restore a maximum pressure policy on the Iranian regime, and we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive Iranian oil exports to zero and diminish the regime’s capacity to fund terror throughout the region and throughout the world.”

Let’s read between the lines. Trump is giving the Iranian regime one last chance. He is about to squeeze Iran economically in a major way. If even that does not cause Iran to abandon its pursuit of a nuclear weapon, then Iran’s nuclear facilities will be destroyed.

Trump: They cannot have a nuclear weapon. It’s very simple. I’m not putting restrictions. I’m not. They cannot have one thing. They cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if I think that they will have a nuclear weapon, despite what I just said, I think that’s going to be very unfortunate for them.

This is the year of reckoning for Iran’s nuclear program. Either the Ayatollahs drop their nuclear dreams once and for all or Israel will destroy their nuclear facilities, perhaps with help from the United States or, at the very least, with a green light from President Trump: It’s no wonder Prime Minister Netanyahu had some serious praise for his American counterpart:

Netanyahu: I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again: You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. And that’s why the people of Israel have such enormous respect for you.

One last important point, to mention from this week’s historic meeting at the White House: the Abraham Accords are now back on the table, and a groundbreaking peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia is a very real possibility.

Netanyahu: I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only feasible, I think it’s going to happen. I think if we had another half a year in your first term, it would have already happened.

It is very clear to me that we are living in a prophetic moment. God is on the move in the Middle East, in America, and around the world. He spared Donald Trump’s life for a reason, and he’s using him to upend decades of failed policies and to shine light in the darkness.

This is a golden opportunity for the body of Christ to work in the light to spread the gospel. So, let’s get to work. You never know how long this window will remain open.

Populism Vs. Socialism

By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2025/02/08/populism-vs-socialism-by-daymond-duck/

Populism can be defined as a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that established elite groups disregard their concerns.

Socialism can be defined as a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

I have not been schooled in political science, but it seems to me that America (and several nations on Earth) has been involved in a struggle between populism (the concerns of ordinary people) and socialism (the concerns of the so-called globalists or international community.

I see it (in part) as a struggle between Make America Great Again (MAGA) and world government (The surrender of America’s sovereignty to the New World Order; The Great Reset; The Common Good; etc.).

According to my understanding of Bible prophecy, MAGA is populism, it is temporary, and it will be replaced by socialism (world government), hopefully after the Rapture.

Socialism is also temporary, and following seven terrible years of that (The Tribulation Period), it will be replaced by the Millennial reign of Jesus on Earth.

Here are some recent events that seem to bolster my view:

One, concerning populism: during the first ten or so days after his inauguration as Pres. of the U.S., Trump signed a flurry of executive orders that were extremely popular with the majority of ordinary people.

Just a few examples are:

Trump ordered the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens that have committed crimes (theft, rape, murder, assaulting the police, etc.) in the U.S.
Trump cut off funding to groups that were assisting foreigners to enter the U.S. illegally.
Trump ordered the deportation of foreign students that belong to pro-jihadist groups that hate the U.S. and Israel, demonstrate, riot, threaten Jewish students, destroy public property, etc.
Trump said there are only two genders, male and female, and he ordered all male criminals that claim to be a female that were jailed in female prisons to be transferred back to male prisons.
Trump stopped the funding of child sex transitions.
Trump pardoned most of the J6 demonstrators.

Trump has done a lot more, but my point is that Trump is a Populist because he has done many things that are popular with ordinary people, and it has resulted in a rise in the public opinion of him.

On the other hand, the socialists are critical of everything that Trump has done, and here are a few examples of things they think should be forced on society (regardless of what ordinary people want).

Trump has closed the border, but socialists want a borderless world, and they put that above what the ordinary people want.
Trump said refugees can still enter the U.S. on a case-by-case merit basis, but socialists put very little value on merit.
Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the several UN groups (WHO, UNWRA, WEF, etc.), but socialists want ordinary people to finance and be under the control of those groups.
Trump ordered an increase in the production of oil and natural gas to slow inflation and grow the U.S. economy, but socialists want to limit the production of oil and natural gas to force people to drive electric vehicles that they don’t want.

I believe it was former Pres. Obama that said elections have consequences.

How people in a free country vote impacts their lives.

(More: On Feb. 4, 2025, Gary Bauer – Campaign for Working Families – wrote Trump 2.0 is better than Trump 1.0. In his first term, Donald Trump thought he could trust the people on his staff. He thought he could make deals with the Democrats. I believe that everything he suffered through — the Russia hoax, the FBI raiding his home, the attempts to destroy his businesses and throw him in jail — created Trump 2.0, and it is an even better version than Trump 1.0.)

Two, concerning socialism: on Feb. 3, 2025, it was reported that:

Anti-globalist European forces are attempting to replicate the political dominance of Donald Trump’s MAGA movement.
At the Make Europe Great Again (MEGA) international conference at the European Parliament, over 500 politicians, staffers, and NGOs gathered for a two-day event to game-plan how to “red pill” all of Europe.
Organized by the European Conservatives and Reformist Party(ECR) and the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), the event was the second annual gathering.
Attendees seek to unify Europeans who want to see an end to mass migration, socialism, green deal climate scam policies, and endless wars.

Three, concerning the rise of populism: on Jan. 28, 2025, Trump’s new Press Sec., Karoline Leavitt, announced that two front-row seats in the White House briefing room would be reserved for independent journalists, podcasters and social media influencers who meet Secret Service requirements.

According to the article,

The fall of the mainstream media coincides with the rise of populism.
Americans’ trust in the mainstream media has fallen to a record low.
Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media, and other independent outlets.
Many want real news, not fake news.
The decline of the mainstream media and rise of the alternative media is good for all Americans that are interested in national sovereignty, truth, transparency, and liberty.

(More: On Feb. 2, 2025, Trump’s Sec. of Defense, Pete Hegseth, said the Pentagon will no longer celebrate Identity Months; no longer celebrate Gay Pride Month, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, etc. Hegseth called the Identity Months unnecessary distractions that hindered the fighting capabilities of the military.)

(More: On Feb. 4, 2025, Hegseth ordered several mainstream media [The New York Times, NBC News, NPR, and Politico] organizations to vacate their press offices at the Pentagon to make room for conservative news outlets [New York Post, One America News Network and Breitbart News Network].)

Four, President Donald Trump announced he will implement 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10% tariffs on imports from China beginning Feb. 1, 2025, pointing to illegal immigration, significant trade deficits, and the flow of fentanyl as primary motivators.

Trump mentioned that he is undecided about exempting oil imports from the two countries.

(More: Trump said he will delay the tariffs on Mexico for one month to allow for negotiations on the issues.)

(More: On Feb. 3, 2025, Mexico’s Pres. said she will send 10,000 Mexican troops to protect the U.S.-Mexico border.)

(More: On Feb, 3, 2025, it was reported that a new survey found that 48% of Canada’s businesses are actively planning to move their production to the U.S.)

(More: On Feb. 3, 2025, Canadian Prime Min. Trudeau said he will send 10,000 Canadian troops, choppers, and technology to protect the U.S.-Canada border.)

(More: On Feb. 3, 2025, Pres. Trump paused the tariffs on Canada to allow for negotiations on the issue.)

Five, concerning America’s wide open border with Mexico, on Jan. 31, 2025, Pete Hegseth, the new U.S. Sec. of Defense, said all options are on the table, including military strikes against the cartels.

Border czar Tom Homan recently said Trump intends to use the full might of the U.S. Special Operations to take them out and to take them off the face of the earth.

Six, on Jan. 30, 2025, Trump’s Special Envoy to The Middle East, Steve Witkoff, visited Gaza.

Witkoff said there is no water, no electricity, almost nothing left, and it will take 10-15 years to rebuild the place.

Trump wants Egypt and Jordan to take the Gazans, but they are refusing to do so at this time (and several Arab nations are opposed to it, too, because they are using the Palestinian issue to try to divide the land of Israel).

Despite the opposition of Egypt and Jordan, Trump says they will do it because the U.S. gives lots of money to the two nations).

(More: On Feb. 2, 2025, it was reported that Pres. Trump has invited Jordan’s King Abdullah II to visit the White House on Feb. 11, 2025, to discuss the relocation of some Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan.)

Seven, concerning peace and safety in the Middle East: on Feb. 2, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu boarded a plane to come to the U.S. for two meetings with Pres. Trump on Feb. 4, 2025.

Before leaving, Netanyahu said,

I believe that in our meetings, we will also discuss the critical issues before us – the defeat of Hamas, the return of all our hostages, and confronting the Iranian axis in all its forms – an axis that threatens not only Israel’s security but also the Middle East and the entire world.
We have the opportunity to strengthen Israel’s security, expand the circle of peace, and usher in an era of prosperity, security, and peace through strength.

Eight, concerning Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu and a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia: the first meeting on Feb. 4, 2025, was mostly about phase two of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal, but Trump said:

The Saudis are no longer demanding a Palestinian state.
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza should be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory.
It’s all death in Gaza.
Right now you have a very dangerous situation there.
They’re living in hell.
If they have an alternative, they won’t want to go back to Gaza.

(My opinion: Trump calling for a permanent resettlement of the Gazans is a major change, and several prominent Jewish and Christian religious leaders have endorsed his recommendation.)

(More: At a press conference after his meeting with Netanyahu on Feb. 4, 2025, Trump said the U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and be responsible for dismantling unexploded bombs and other weapons, demolishing and leveling destroyed buildings, and creating an economic development zone that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.)

(More: On Feb. 5, 2025, it was reported that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said regarding Trump’s statement that the U.S. will take over Gaza – Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu has not asked the U.S. to do that.)

Nine, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog in the latter days and latter years: on Jan. 31, 2025, it was reported that Iran is concerned that Pres. Trump will give Netanyahu permission for Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear sites when they meet on Feb. 4, 2025.

Hence, Iran said an attack on its nuclear sites would start a regional war.

Iran added that even if its nuclear sites are attacked, Iran could still build a nuclear bomb.

(More: On Feb. 3, 2025, Iran announced that it now has a new ballistic missile that can hit Israel with a nuclear warhead.).

(More: On Feb. 4, 2025, it was reported that Trump intends to restore his maximum-pressure economic sanctions on Iran. Iran called it futile.)

Ten, concerning Israel expanding its borders at the end of the age and there being Jews in Judea during the Tribulation Period: on Feb. 2, 2025, it was reported that Israel’s finance minister is pushing Prime Min. Netanyahu to get Trump to renegotiate Israel’s hostage deal with Hamas and to promote an annexation plan for Judea and Samaria during his meetings with Trump.

Whether or not Netanyahu will do it was not said.

(More: On Feb. 2, 2025, it was reported that Republicans in the U.S. House of Rep. are finalizing a bill that will prohibit government use of the term ‘West Bank.’ All official government documents and conversations will have to call the area by its Biblical name, which is Judea and Samaria. It may not pass in the U.S. Senate, but Trump and Sec. of State Marco Rubio could make it happen.)

(More: At a Trump-Netanyahu press conference on Feb. 5, 2025, Trump was asked about Israel annexing Judea and Samaria. Trump responded, “People do like the idea, but we haven’t taken a position on it yet. But we will be making an announcement probably on that very specific topic over the next four weeks.”

Eleven, concerning a possible Psa. 83 war with Egypt and others attacking Israel before the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Feb. 2, 2025, it was reported that Israel’s ambassador to the UN said Israel needs to ask the U.S. why Egypt is building up its forces in violation of the Camp David Accords.

Channel 14’s military correspondent said Egypt trains its military for one purpose: war with Israel.

Twelve, concerning deceit and corruption in the U.S. government: in early Feb. 2025, it was reported that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been turned into a CIA slush fund that was helping finance the Deep State with no government oversight.

Trump and Musk have decided to strip USAID of its independence, reduce its staff, and place what is left under the State Dept. where the spending can be monitored and controlled.

This will be a major blow to the shadow government and save taxpayers a lot of money.

(More: On Feb. 3, 2025, a group of House and Senate Democrats that opposed the decision to shut down USAID tried to enter the USAID headquarters building, but they were blocked by security forces.)

(Unreal: It is hard for me to fathom how Congress could give an agency $50 billion a year with no oversight. The swamp truly needs to be drained.)

Thirteen, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog (Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others moving through Syria to attack Israel in the latter days and latter years): on Feb. 4, 2025, Syria’s new interim president visited Turkey to discuss a mutual defense pact, which could lead to the establishment of Turkish military bases within Syria and Turkish forces training the new Syrian military.

The location of Turkish military bases in Syria would not set well with Israel.

Fourteen, concerning Trump’s salvation: on Feb. 4, 2025, it was reported that Trump’s lifelong friend and supporter, Dana White, urged Trump to withdraw from the presidential race following the assassination attempt on him at a speech in Butler, PA.

According to the report,

Trump said, “I can’t quit. You don’t ever quit. You never quit.”
White said, “He believes in God, and he’s very religious. He believes that, to his core, that God has spared his life to be the president and do the things that he’s going to do over the next four years.”

(For whatever it’s worth: The Bible teaches that God raises up leaders, and God brings down leaders as it pleases Him; Dan. 2:21.)

Sixteen, concerning natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity at the end of the age: on Feb. 4, 2025, Obihiro, Japan, received a record-breaking four feet of snow in twelve hours.

Seventeen, concerning world government: on Feb. 4, 2025, Pres. Trump said the UN is not being well run.

This is significant because the UN must be restructured to fit before the Antichrist rises to power (Ten Kings, leaders, czars, little horns will rise first).

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Something’s Gone Terribly Wrong

By Tom Gilbreath - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-2-9-2025/

The people of the United States — especially the young — now reel under the strain of a stunning mental health crisis. According to WebMD, persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness among high schoolers rose 49 percent from 2011 to 2021. And it gets worse as they get older. According to a Harvard study, “Young adults in the US report twice the rates of anxiety and depression as teens.”

Shouldn’t we ask why? Shouldn’t we ask if we’re doing something wrong? What did we change that we should not have changed? We lament school shootings. People talk about gun control or better mental health care as the answer. But shouldn’t we ask what changed to precipitate this mental health crisis? It’s obvious that a change has taken place. Something has gone very wrong.

It’s not uncommon today for 35-year-old men to spend the majority of their time — not sleeping or working, not fishing or hunting, not joking and having fun with friends. Instead of those healthy activities, they choose to close themselves away in make-believe, videogame universes. They spend real money on things with no real worth. They spend their lives going “after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty” (1 Samuel 12:21, ESV).

I’m not talking about occasionally playing videogames with friends or playing an occasional on-line game. I’m talking about people who escape to videogame-land and never return. Others escape reality through drugs and drink. They cheat themselves out of the vibrant life God offers them. In these and in hundreds of other ways, our society encourages the degradation of human existence. No wonder our people are unhappy, depressed, and disoriented.

Isn’t it time for all of us to ask where we went wrong, and what we can change to again raise mentally healthy individuals?

I don’t mean to suggest that this nation was ever anywhere near perfect. Manifestations of various mental illnesses have always been part of American life, just as in other countries. But clearly, something has changed. The change itself is frightening and disorienting, often resulting in anger, and in that way adding to the problem.

There’s plenty of blame to go around. We could blame politicians, building their power bases by splitting us up into offended groups. We could blame educators for stoking a similar kind of paranoia. We could blame the entertainment industries or just big business in general.

We could even blame the Church. Many congregations have wholly abandoned the Gospel. Others still preach God’s Word but live as if they don’t believe it. Despite this, if you remain a committed, Bible-believing Christian, don’t be discouraged. You are not alone. God has reserved for Himself a powerful remnant who “have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

Many are convinced that with new leadership, a beautiful change is coming to America. I hope so. But the kind of change we need will involve more than lip service to God. It will mean sorrow for our sins. It will mean humility before God. Romans 11:25 speaks of people who have become wise in their own conceits. To turn this nation around, we must abandon those conceits.

As a people, America “exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:25, NKJV). Therefore, as a people, we must repent, reform, and return — not return to an imagined American past — but return to reverence and love for the God from Whom all freedom flows.

The Greatest Heist of All Time: The Level of Corruption That Elon Musk and His DOGE Team Are Uncovering Is Absolutely Mind Blowing

by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/the-greatest-heist-of-all-time-the-level-of-corruption-that-elon-musk-and-his-doge-team-are-uncovering-is-absolutely-mind-blowing/

Did you know that approximately $1,000,000,000 in obviously fraudulent payments flow through the U.S. Treasury’s payment system every week? Until Elon Musk and his DOGE team stepped in, nobody in the government was doing anything about this theft. Please read all the way to the end of this article for the details. Suspiciously, the Democrats are desperately trying to get the courts to keep Elon Musk and his team out of the U.S. Treasury’s payment system. Why is that? What are they working so hard to hide?

The truth is that Elon Musk and his DOGE team are beginning to scratch the surface of the greatest heist of all time, and the Democrats are starting to get very nervous. If they are allowed to complete what they have started, the American people will finally learn what has really been going on in Washington and nothing will ever be the same after this.

According to the Washington Post, Musk and his team have been “disrupting operations in at least 14 government agencies” so far…

Staffers and allies of Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service have fanned out across Washington in recent days, seeking access to sensitive data and disrupting operations in at least 14 government agencies in pursuit of a dramatically smaller federal government.

DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, has not disclosed the names of its staff. But The Washington Post has identified more than 30 people working for or closely with it by examining the internal directories of multiple agencies and interviewing numerous federal workers, virtually all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation.

The Washington Post is attempting to put the activities of Musk and his team in a negative light, because the Post stands to lose quite a bit of revenue as their government contracts get canceled.

But millions upon millions of ordinary Americans are thrilled about what Musk and his team are doing, because we are finally learning what has really been going on behind the scenes.

One of the latest agencies to get visitors from DOGE is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The DOGE team must have discovered something big, because the acting director of the agency has ordered virtually all work to come to a standstill…

Russell Vought, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ordered staffers at the agency to stop all work in an email Saturday night.

“I am committed to implementing the President’s policies, consistent with the law, and acting as a faithful steward of the Bureau’s resources,” Vought wrote in the email reviewed by USA TODAY. “Effective immediately, unless expressly approved by the Acting Director or required by law, all employees, contractors and other personnel of the bureau shall… cease all supervision and examination activity.”

For those that don’t know, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in 2011 after U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren relentlessly pushed for it.

And since that time, it has been pursuing a far left agenda.

Hopefully we shall soon get some details about what DOGE has learned about that agency.

FEMA is another agency that just got a visit from DOGE…

Less than two weeks after President Donald Trump said his administration would consider making the Federal Emergency Management Agency “go away,” representatives of Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service were at the agency and reviewing the grant programs it uses to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters, according to four current and two former FEMA officials.

The presence of DOGE, or Department of Government Efficiency, at FEMA has caused uncertainty and confusion, raising fears that Trump could soon follow through on his pledge to dismantle the agency, as his administration is doing with the U.S. Agency for International Development.

According to the officials, a small team that does not have security clearance has access to FEMA’s network, which contains the private and sensitive information of tens of thousands of disaster victims. For example, FEMA officials said that on Feb. 5, Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old former college student who goes by the moniker “Big Balls” online and now works for Musk, was given a FEMA badge. The officials, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of fears of professional retaliation.

I have written quite a bit about FEMA’s failures in North Carolina and elsewhere.

Hopefully the Trump administration can get that agency back on the right track, because there are lots of people out there that still need help.

On the other hand, USAID appears to be hopelessly corrupt and needs to be shut down permanently. This is an agency that was run by a woman that saw her net worth soar by 23.3 million dollars while she was making a salary of just $180,000 a year…

EX-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY

Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth explode while earning just $180K per year.

Where did the extra $23.3M come from? And all of this in just 3 years! USAID oversees billions in global funding—was she cashing in?

The public deserves answers. Follow the money.

Of course it isn’t just Samantha Power that is swimming in cash.

A secretive NGO known as “Internews Network” got almost half a billion dollars from USAID. The following was just posted by WikiLeaks on Twitter…

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, “Internews Network” (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and “training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at http://archive.org. Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.

IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN’s budget has been supplied by the US government

I was stunned when I first read that last line.

Without the U.S. government, Internews would essentially not have any revenue at all.

So our tax dollars were paying Jeanne Bourgault’s ridiculously bloated salary, and a whole bunch of other Internews employees were making more than 200 grand a year as well…

They were living the high life at our expense.

During the Biden years, one of the primary things that Internews was focused on was censorship of “disinformation”…

USAID-Funded Internews CEO Jeanne Bourgault pushes for global advertising “exclusion list” to censor “disinformation” at the World Economic Forum.

Like what they did to 𝕏?

“Disinformation makes money. We need to follow that money. We need to work with the global advertising industry because a lot of those dollars go to pretty bad content, and so you can work really hard on exclusion lists or inclusion lists and really try to challenge the global advertising industry to focus their ad dollars towards the good news.”

Notably, Bourgault’s call for global ad boycotts coincided with a widespread advertising boycott targeting Elon Musk’s 𝕏, which has been at the forefront of defending free speech online.

USAID has funneled $472 million to Internews and $68 million to the WEF, where both groups collaborate on censoring the internet.

Is this a good use of American taxpayer funds?

Internews was being paid giant mountains of cash to promote censorship of independent websites such as mine that dared to question the dominant narratives that were being pushed by the Biden administration.

Needless to say, this violated the Constitution.

The Biden administration was illegally using non-governmental entities to suppress the First Amendment rights of anyone that they did not agree with.

I think that Internews must have quickly figured out that their scam was over once Donald Trump won the election, because the “headquarters” of Internews in California now appears to be abandoned…

Sadly, I have a feeling that the fraud that will ultimately be uncovered at the U.S. Treasury will be even greater than the fraud that was going on at USAID.

Elon Musk and his DOGE team were able to access and map the Treasury payment system before the left even realized what was happening…

In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.

“We’re in,” Akash Bobba messaged the team. “All of it.”

Edward Coristine’s code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor’s algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran’s analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn’t even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury’s operations than people who had worked there for decades.

Once the left learned what Musk’s team was up to, they started screaming bloody murder, and now they are absolutely determined to get the courts to keep Musk’s team completely out of the Treasury’s payment system.

But it may already be too late.

It appears that Musk’s team has already mapped the system, and reforms are beginning.

In fact, Elon Musk just released a list of initial reforms that the Treasury and his team have mutually agreed to…

To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

– Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.

– All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!

– The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.

The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!

Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.

When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!

This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

Read those last three paragraphs again.

Officials at the Treasury openly admit that about a billion dollars in fraudulent payments are going through their system every week.

That is a bombshell.

So who is receiving those payments?

If the truth about that comes out, it will be one of the biggest news stories of the decade.

Our government has literally been hemorrhaging money, and at this moment we don’t know who has been stealing it.

But the fact that the Democrats are working so hard to cover this up is extremely suspicious.

Daily Jot: Of principalities, deliverance and obedience

Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com

We have seen how the forces of evil react to having one of their principalities shattered. Today, the minions of satan are full force running to and fro trying to regain their powers of darkness in Washington, DC. There are examples of spiritual strongholds throughout scripture. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Daniel 10 describes how an angel of the Lord was delayed because of the prince of Persia in the spirit world. But there is a clear real-world example where the LORD GOD honors obedience and dismantles entire principalities.

Exodus 13:17 says, “After Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not guide them to the highway that goes through the land of the Philistines, because it was close by—God thought that the people, upon seeing war, might change their minds and return to Egypt.” Jonatan Sacks in his book Covenant and Conversation, writes, “That is why He led the Israelites on a circuitous route, knowing that they could not face the full challenge of liberty immediately. There are no shortcuts on the long walk to freedom.” This would be a long journey for the Israelite people, one that would take a generation to complete. But the LORD also had his purpose of completing the judgment of the gods of Egypt to demonstrate that ADONAI is God!

ADONAI told Moses in Exodus 14:1-2, “Tell the people of Israel to turn around and set up camp in front of Pi-Hachirot, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Ba’al-Tz’fon; camp opposite it, by the sea.” The place God specifically tells Moses to camp is located at Ba’al-Tz’fon. Ba’al Tz’fon is the only god left in Egypt that hadn’t been judged and thrown down by the LORD during the plagues of Egypt. In Hebrew Ba’al is translated as “master,” “lord,” or “owner,” and is used to refer to various pagan gods, usually associated with a certain locality. Tz’fon is the Hebrew word for “north,” so a precise translation would be—“Master of the North.” In the Egyptian “Book of the Dead” a god known as the “Lord of the Northern sky,” has the Egyptian name of Set. Set is the patron deity of Northern Egypt, believed to control desert storms, chaos, and water.

The LORD knew that Pharaoh would come after the people thinking that the “desert had closed in” on the Israelites, believing that ADONAI was not able to protect them from Ba’al-Tz’fon. The stage was set for a final throw down of all Egyptian gods. By the Israelites camping right in front of Ba’al-Tz’fon, the Egyptian god of storms, chaos, and water, this deity was refuted by ADONAI’s complete control of the wind, chaos, and water— by miraculously dividing it into two walls, a path of escape from Pharaoh. Herein, this great miracle was not only to save the Israelites, but also to demonstrate God’s authority over principalities of spiritual darkness. Even today these principalities rage against righteousness in their time left, but our GOD is above all. Like the Israelites of old, we have a role to play. Having done all, to stand. For GOD will deliver.

Daily Devotion: Being Wise and Humble

by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.” —James 3:13

https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/being-wise-and-humble/ - Listen

They say Abraham Lincoln once said, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” And though he probably didn’t intend it as a commentary on James 3:13, it works well in that regard.

Let’s be clear: it’s no small accomplishment to be wise and understand God’s ways. You can only do that by studying God’s Word, staying close to Him through prayer and meditation, and learning through experience what it means to honor Him and seek His will in everything you do.

Gaining wisdom and understanding God’s ways is a lifelong pursuit. And it’s natural to want to pass on what you’ve learned to others—especially to your family, the people whose lives are intertwined with yours. But you need to realize that acquiring the knowledge and experience that results in wisdom is only the first step. Knowing how and when to share your wisdom is the second—and often the most challenging—step.

That’s the point James is making. Wisdom is known by its actions. If you claim to have wisdom, and you know Scripture, show it by living a godly life—and doing it with humility. Humility is what keeps you from coming off as a know-it-all. It’s what keeps you from pontificating on all that you’ve learned while your family members roll their eyes. This can be especially challenging for older folks, because we’ve lived long lives, we love to tell stories, and we love to share what we’ve learned.

The problem is, many young people don’t respond well to “in my day” speeches. Neither do many older people, come to think of it.

So if you’re going to pass on your wisdom, as God wants you to, you must first humble your heart. One way to do that is to listen—to give others your full attention. When you listen, you learn. You learn about people’s communication patterns. You learn about the experiences that have brought them to that point in their lives. You learn about the personal barriers they’ve put up. You learn about the triggers that cause them to shut down. You learn about them. No matter how well you think you know others, even your family, there’s always more to learn.

When you adopt a humble attitude, when you listen, when you put the focus on others, it affects the way you respond. Instead of talking to hear yourself speak or to impress others with your wisdom, you’ll look for ways to make genuine connections between what you’ve experienced and what others are experiencing.

If you ask God to help you keep a spirit of humility, He will help you recognize the right moments to share a life lesson or an insight from Scripture. He will help you connect what you have to offer with what others need to hear.

Reflection Question: Who could benefit from your godly wisdom and experience?
