How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Isaiah 52:7-8
TOP STORY
SENATE CONSIDERS HOUSE-PASSED FOREIGN AID-TIKTOK BAN PACKAGE – After the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that both authorizes foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and effectively bans TikTok by a final vote of 360 to 58, the Senate will now consider the total package in what will likely be easy passage in the DNC-controlled Senate, followed by a President Joe Biden signing.
The TikTok bill contains ambiguous language that has some worried it might enable congress to cease other social media networks as well. The bill will also dole out $95 million in foreign aid to Israel, which receives $26 billion, Ukraine, which receives $61 million, and $8 million for Indo-Pacific allies, including Taiwan.

SCOTUS OPENS DOOR FOR MORE DEI LAWSUITS – The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a police sergeant who was transferred to a different department to make room for a man had a right to continue with her sexual discrimination lawsuit she had already filed with the courts. The woman, Sgt. Jayontya Muldrow, saw her case dismissed by lower courts but now the SCOTUS ruling allows her to go forward with her suit.
Muldrow sued the St. Louis Police Department under the Title VII provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a provision that is already being invoked in lawsuits filed by employees who faced similar circumstances which are facilitated by the social employee management program, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion). The win here could send a chilling message to DEI managers and the employers who hired them.
MRC FILES PETITION WITH FCC TO STOP SOROS RADIO GRAB – The Soros family’s announcement they would be purchasing hundreds of radio stations formerly owned by bankrupt corporation Audacy is being met with resistance from at least one major media monitoring group, Media Research Center headed by Brett Bozell.
Bozell filed a formal petition with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) urging the agency not to honor the request of the Soros family to fast-track the decision-making process because Audacity is filing for bankruptcy. “There is no question that George Soros and his affiliated businesses are looking to control these radio stations to advance their particular brand of activism,” Bozell declared in the FCC petition.

POLAND INVITES NUKES TO THE “PARTY” – Poland’s President, Andrzej Duda, told a Polish newspaper the country is open to having NATO nations place nuclear weapons in its territory. Duda said. “If our allies decide to deploy nuclear arms on our territory as part of nuclear sharing, to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank, we are ready,”
BRAGG BLINKS AT TRUMP GAG HEARING – The showdown between Donald J Trump and Lawfare assassin Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, ended today with Bragg backing down from his insistence Trump be jailed for violating a gag order Trump has stated he will continue to defy. So far, Trump’s bluff has not been called. The moment they choose to call his bluff, a new era begins in this land, one that will offer surprises, some good, some bad, to us all.
IRS LOOKS TO AI TO COLLECT MORE TAXES – The IRS has announced plans to utilize AI to help it identify, essentially, auditable tax returns that could lead to the biggest windfalls for the state. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said “Right now, I believe that there are AI solutions that we have not yet leveraged that exist today that can help with some of these basic questions to the benefit of taxpayers. And on the other side of the equation, we are using AI today to do even more to unlock and spot this complexity.”

HUNGARY WELCOMES RUSSIAN GAS SOCCER SPONSOR – Excerpt from financialpost.com – The Hungarian government signaled backing for a reported sponsorship deal between Russia’s Gazprom PJSC and the country’s top soccer team, an agreement that would spotlight Budapest’s efforts to maintain ties with Moscow… Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government, which is nearly alone among European Union member states in maintaining ties with Russia, responded by saying it embraced fresh investment in the country.
HHS SEEKS TO CRIMINALIZE PROSECUTION OF WOMEN WHO GET ABORTIONS – Excerpt from www.nextgov.com – … The rule is expressly designed to put some checks on the ability of law enforcement officials in states that restrict or ban abortion to obtain health records on residents who may have obtained abortions or covered reproductive care in other states.
“This does not foreclose the ability of state officials to investigate the circumstances surrounding the provision of…reproductive health care, including through the collection of information from sources that are not regulated under HIPAA, to determine whether a health care provider or other person may have acted unlawfully,” the rule states. “Rather, this final rule prohibits the use or disclosure of PHI when it is being used to investigate or impose liability on a person for the mere act of seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care, or to identify any person to initiate such activities.”
MUSK, AUSTRALIAN GOV CLASH OVER SYDNEY CHURCH STABBING VIDEO ON X – Excerpt from www.cbc.ca – Elon Musk lashed out at Australia’s prime minister on Tuesday after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney, and said the ruling meant any country could control “the entire internet.”
…”Does the PM think he should have jurisdiction over all of Earth?” Musk wrote in a post, referring to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese… “if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian ‘eSafety Commissar’ is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire internet?”
MALDIVES ELECTION IS A BIG WIN FOR CHINA OVER INDIA – Excerpt from www.reuters.com – Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu’s party earned a landslide victory in parliamentary elections, local media reported on Monday, a result set to move the Indian Ocean archipelago closer to China and away from traditional partner India.
Muizzu’s People’s National Congress (PNC) won 71 of the 93 seats available on Sunday, preliminary results from the Maldives Elections Commission and media projections showed.
DEMS BACK JOHNSON AS GREENE HEDGES HER BETS – Excerpt from www.realclearpolitics.com – California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna told ABC’s “This Week” that he and “a few progressive Democrats” would vote to keep Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson in power through the end of this year if GOP hardliners like Marjorie Taylor Greene try to force him from power.
“I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him,” Khanna said. “I’m a progressive Democrat and I think you would have a few progressive Democrats doing that. And I disagree with Speaker Johnson on many issues and have been very critical of him. But he did the right thing here and he deserves to keep his job until the end of his term.”
Excerpt from www.axios.com – Weeks of threats to oust Johnson over Ukraine aid fizzled Saturday when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene left town without pulling the trigger…. Greene said she will “go home and hear from their constituents” before making her decision following weeks of threats to force a vote to oust him.
MAN DIES AFTER SETTING HIMSELF ON FIRE IN FRONT OF TRUMP TRIAL – Excerpt from USA Today – Officials said Maxwell Azzarello from St. Augustine, Florida, walked into the park across from the courthouse, threw the pamphlets down and set himself ablaze…Shortly before 11 p.m., hospital staff pronounced him dead, police Detective Sophia Mason told USA TODAY…’
“The pamphlets seem to be propaganda-based, almost like a conspiracy theory type of pamphlet, some information in regards to Ponzi schemes, and the fact that some of our local educational institutes are fronts for the Mob, so a little bit of conspiracy theory going on there,” Kenny said…

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
