video coverage ongoing about Iran and US military actions

This message was sent to me by my sister yesterday afternoon. It really, really spoke to her, and yes it was the Holy Spirit speaking to her through what she sent me. I don't know who the original author of this message is, but I know it was timely made sure to be before my sister yesterday. Today, her husband has been found to have had a series of mini-strokes, apparently over the last 48-72 hours, without notice or warning, until very early this AM. He had had two serious main strokes last year in July. Yesterday she texted me...

Senate Republicans rejected the Venezuela War Powers Resolution on Wednesday, which sought to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to make further attacks on the country, with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. The resolution was rejected in a 51-50 vote. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this full exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and a “Dr.” Hawley asks over a DOZEN times if men can get pregnant and she CAN’T ANSWER. She blanks, then gives word salads and excuses for why she won’t answer. This is the star testimony for Democrats on abortion.Unbelievable.

The Supreme Court handed a crushing blow to the radical left’s ballot-harvesting machine on Wednesday. In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois’s unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois’ late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits This is the game-changer we have been waiting for. For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to...

Denmark and the US are stuck in a 'fundamental disagreement' over Greenland after leaders from both countries met for talks in Washington earlier today. Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said the meeting with vice president JD Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio was 'frank but also constructive' but admitted work was needed to 'find a common way forward'. 'The discussions focused on how to ensure the long-term security in Greenland, and here our perspectives continue to differ,' Mr Rasmussen told reporters after joining Greenland's foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, for the talks. 'I must say the president has made...

Dear Beloved Fellow FReepers and Intercessory Prayer Warriors, please lift up my sister's husband Wally as he has been hit by what preliminary findings from a CT and exams are showing as a series of mini-strokes over the last few days. He had suffered two serious strokes last July but had been making such good progress on recovery. The only evidence of this was this morning, as she found he was nearly choking on his own spit as he had lost the ability to swallow, only two hours after she'd tended to him very early this AM, and he was...

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI) said she is being investigated by federal prosecutors after she urged members of the military to defy President Trump. In November, ‘seditious’ Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video. Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, was the organizer of the video. She was the ringleader and proudly urged US service members to defy orders from President Trump and Pete Hegseth “Last...

A Michigan county clerk alleged that the jury pool for a circuit court has recently included non-citizens who are ineligible for jury duty. “Non-citizens are coming through at an alarming rate,” Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini said in a press release. “Our jury service summonses are based on random draws from the driver’s license bank. Frequently non-citizens slip through because citizenship was not flagged in the Secretary of State database.” Why It Matters Citizenship is a key requirement for jury service at the state and federal levels. Michigan law states that in order to qualify as a juror, an...

Bluesky going all-in on “shoot on sight” sentiment for ICE or Border Patrol agents in blue cities.

The ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has drawn national attention, and now a controversial public figure is weighing in. Casey Anthony, often referred to as "America’s most hated mom," criticized federal authorities in a recent Substack post addressed to Vice President JD Vance, accusing the administration of shielding ICE agents from accountability in the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. "There is no such thing as a federal law-enforcement officer having immunity because it is convenient for you and this Administration," Anthony wrote. "This applies to your Gestapo agents in ICE."

Britain evacuated its ambassador and all consular staff from Tehran on Wednesday, closing its embassy temporarily amid escalating security concerns as Iran's government confronts what officials describe as the worst domestic unrest in the Islamic Republic's history.

The federal investigation into last year's fatal UPS plane crash in Louisville showed one of the key defects found on the plane's failed engine was a known issue among Boeing's service team, albeit one Boeing didn't believe would lead to a "safety of flight condition." In an update to its ongoing investigation into the crash of UPS Flight 2976, the National Transportation Safety Board said its team found fatigue cracking and overstress failure across much of the bearing race inside the area that attached the plane's left engine to its wing. NTSB investigators then went back into Boeing service data...

Donald Trump has stepped back from the brink with Iran after receiving reassurances that Tehran is halting its planned execution of protesters. Despite appearing to retreat from his earlier red line, Trump signaled he could still order strikes against the ayatollah’s regime, saying his administration was closely monitoring the bloody crackdown which has left at least 2,500 protesters dead. 'We're going to watch and see what the process is. But we were given a very good, very good statement by people that are, aware of what's going on,' Trump added when pressed on if he would use military action on...

Somewhere in Texas so far from watching the video.

On Christmas Eve, Hindu hardline groups affiliated with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced a shutdown in the central Indian city of Raipur. The protest was called over allegations of “forced” religious conversions by Christians, a claim frequently levelled against the Christian community despite scant evidence. That same day, groups of men armed with wooden sticks stormed a shopping mall in Raipur, vandalising Christmas decorations and disrupting celebrations. Police filed a case against 30 to 40 unidentified attackers, but arrested only six. They were released on bail within days and, upon their release, were greeted with...

And then there were none. The Panda Express in the basement food court of downtown’s San Francisco Centre, the city’s largest mall, has closed, leaving the woebegone retail destination without any restaurants. A sign informs visitors that the Panda Express location is permanently closed and that they can visit other locations in the city for its orange chicken and other Chinese American dishes. […] The mall’s new owners, a group of lenders associated under the name DBJPM 2016-SFC Emporium, bought the mall’s debt in November. Earlier this month, they sent unlawful detainer notices to three of the mall’s remaining tenants...
