Dear Friends,
Peter Marshall urged, “May freedom be seen not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to please to do what is right. May it be ever understood that our liberty is under God and can be found nowhere else. May our faith be something that is not merely stamped upon our coins, but expressed in our lives.”
1. “PHASE 1” OF EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED: On Thursday, the Department of Justice released “Phase 1” of the Epstein files to conservative influencers at the White House. The 200-page release came one week after Attorney General Pam Bondi said Epstein’s client list was sitting on her desk and would be released soon.
Liz Wheeler said, “There was nothing juicy in the 200 pages, just flight logs and a Rolodex of phone numbers. No ‘smoking gun.’” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) reacted, “THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment.”
At the White House, Bondi told the influencers that the FBI’s Southern District of New York (SDNY) was illegally hiding “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.”
Bondi ordered the SDNY office to turn over the files by 8am Friday morning and directed FBI Director Kash Patel to conduct an immediate investigation. Patel promised, “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned – and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued… If records have been hidden, we will uncover them.”
As of this writing, the documents have yet to be disclosed.
2. WILL THE FILES EVER BE RELEASED? Journalist Evita Duffy-Alfonso asked, “If the Trump administration has no Epstein info because the New York FBI is refusing to hand over documents, then why did Pam Bondi say the Epstein files were sitting on her desk?”
Journalist Nick Freitas countered, “Pam has been AG for two weeks. Kash has been Director of the FBI for like…five days. They are both still fighting a bureaucracy, and trying to determine friend from foe within their organizations.”
Earlier this week, an FBI whistleblower said that FBI workers were “destroying evidence on servers.”
Nicole Shanahan called for the SDNY office to be “shut down” and for all Epstein documents to be released “unredacted.”
The SDNY office is one of the most corrupt offices within the rogue FBI, and is home to Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey, daughter of former FBI director James Comey, and lead prosecutor in the Epstein case and the current Diddy case.
Journalist Michael Shellenberger wrote, “Epstein appears to have been running a sex blackmail operation, or honeytrap, for intelligence agencies.” In 2017, former U.S. Attorney for South Florida Alex Acosta said, “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”
Ed. Note: Powerful elites are terrified and will do whatever they can to prevent disclosure. It’s possible that intelligence agencies destroyed every file, video, and record months ago, before Trump took office. Time will tell if Bondi and Patel can rein in the subversive DOJ/FBI and fully expose the pedophile elite. See Gen. Michael Flynn’s analysis here.
3. TRUMP HOLDS FIRST CABINET MEETING: Trump’s first cabinet meeting opened with a powerful prayer from outspoken Christian and HUD Secretary Scott Turner and covered Ukraine, China, tariffs, spending, and other topics.
- Employee review: DOGE head Elon Musk said of the email asking federal employees what they accomplished over the past week, “We think there are a number of people on the government payroll who are dead…and some…fictional individuals.” Trump said the one million employees who did not respond “are on the bubble.”
- Federal debt: Musk warned that America cannot sustain “two-trillion-dollar deficits” and said if the U.S. continues paying $1 trillion on federal debts, “the country will go bankrupt.”
- Gold Card: Trump discussed his recently proposed “Gold Card” visa, which would allow wealthy immigrants to come to America in exchange for $5 million. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, “200,000 of these ‘Gold’ green cards is $1 trillion to pay down our debt.”
- EPA: President Trump confirmed that Lee Zeldin intends to cut 65% of the EPA’s staff.
- Ukraine: Trump said Russia will also have to make concessions, touted the minerals deal with Ukraine, and said America would not make “security guarantees” for Ukraine.
- Tariffs: Trump said, “I’m not stopping the tariffs. Millions of people have died because of the fentanyl that comes over the border.”
The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson noted, “In four years of the Biden presidency, we never saw a cabinet meeting that was as candid, unscripted, and informative as what we saw today from the Trump administration. The contrast isn’t just striking, it’s jaw-dropping.”
4. TRUMP DISMISSES WOKE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF: President Trump removed Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q. Brown, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Naval Operations chief Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff General James Slife. All three had aggressively promoted DEI and other leftist ideologies.
Trump directed Hegseth to nominate individuals for five high-level positions, while Hegseth announced the firing of 5,400 Pentagon employees, to be followed by a “hiring freeze.” Hegseth said, “Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting, and winning wars.”
Obama ally Susan Rice blasted the move as “dangerous” and “unprecedented” and accused Trump of “politicizing” the military. Victor Davis Hanson said the Left opposed Hegseth more than Trump’s other contentious nominees because Hegseth “is proposing radical changes in the Pentagon.”
5. TRUMP APPOINTEES SHAKE-UP INTEL COMMUNITY: President Trump tapped conservative podcaster and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino to serve as FBI Deputy Director. Bongino once called the FBI “irredeemably corrupt” and has written three books on Deep State corruption.
Former FBI Agent Chris O’Leary lamented, “We now have two conspiracy theorists and election deniers running our premier law enforcement and intelligence agency.”
The Center for Security Policy’s J. Michael Waller noted that Bongino is the first outsider deputy director since the FBI’s formation. Independent journalist Julie Kelly called the appointment “another death blow to the calcified corruption at the Department of Justice and at the FBI in particular.”
CNN, which has long relied on unethical leaks from Deep State sources, said top CIA brass worry that Trump’s firing of intel officers could “create a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is terminating and revoking the security clearances of over 100 intelligence officials who used the NSA’s platform to send explicit, obscene, and LGBTQ messages.
6. COVID VACCINES AND AMERICA’S POPULATION CRISIS: Epidemiologist Nic Hulscher explained why U.S. mortality rates are increasing, including among young people:
- Cardiac deaths up 8-36%: “The largest COVID-19 vaccine safety study ever conducted (99 million vaccinated individuals) found myocarditis risk surges up to 610% post-mRNA injection…”
- Neurological deaths up 16-39%: “mRNA injections [have been] linked to Ischemic stroke (+44%), Hemorrhagic stroke (+50%), Transient ischemic attack (+67%), Myelitis (+165%), Myasthenia gravis (+71%), Alzheimer’s (+22.5%), Cognitive impairment (+138%), Depression (+68.3%), Anxiety disorders (+43.9%), and Sleep disorders (+93.4%). The neurological toll is undeniable.”
- Cancer rates up 10-50%: “Ethical Skeptic’s analysis of CDC data shows excess cancer mortality up 9% post-mRNA rollout… Case reports link the shots to aggressive cancers, including intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma.”
Hulscher concluded, “These data suggest that the mass COVID-19 mRNA injection campaign is a primary driver of the collapse in U.S. life expectancy, preventing its full recovery. Urgent intervention by the federal government is indicated to immediately remove these life-reducing injections from the market and begin steps to reverse these negative trends.”
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden revealed, “By the third quarter of 2021, 70% of Americans had had one shot. At the same time, group life policies showed an 80% increase in excess mortality for ages 25-44.”
The American Enterprise’s Jesús Fernández-Villaverde warned, “If we are unable to address our fertility crisis, the U.S. will face an existential economic crisis driven by a steep decline in fertility rates – one that could have an impact measured in the quadrillions of dollars… Once we begin to contemplate the fiscal implications of a declining population, it becomes difficult to focus on anything else.”
Ed. Note: Satanic globalists have long promoted depopulation through wars, abortion, gender confusion, anti-family policies, and vaccines. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev stated, “The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90%, and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”
7. MORE AMERICANS SHARE THEIR VACCINE INJURY STORIES: Last week, Yale University released a bombshell study finding that the spike protein lingers in the bloodstream long after vaccination and that many individuals reportedly experiencing long COVID could instead be suffering from spike protein-induced post-vaccination syndrome.
Following the study, The Daily Mail interviewed dozens of Americans injured by the COVID vaccine, including 31-year-old Army veteran Lindy Ayers, who was called an “anti-vaxxer” for suggesting that Pfizer’s COVID vaccine caused her to be confined to a wheelchair.
After reluctantly taking an employer-mandated Moderna vaccine, 42-year-old legal compliance worker Erica Evers developed blurry vision in her right eye, tinnitus, and swelling in her brain. A mother of three sons, Evers said, “This has just robbed me of my life with them.” The Daily Mail added, “Thousands of Americans have reported similar stories.”
In a recent podcast, conservative commentator Megyn Kelly revealed that she developed an “unspecified autoimmune condition” after receiving two Pfizer COVID shots and a booster. Kelly said the COVID vaccine was “the number one thing I’ve been wrong about.”
Ed. Note: In May 2021, Dr. Peter McCullough stated, “This whole pandemic, from the beginning, was ABOUT the vaccine.”
8. “CONSERVATIVES” DOMINATE GERMAN ELECTION: The conservative Christian Democrats (CDU), led by a globalist former BlackRock executive, took first place in Germany’s parliamentary elections with 28.5%, while the maligned “far-right” Alternative for Germany (AfD) came in second at 20.8%. Remarkably, Germany required photo ID and paper ballots and counted 50 million votes by hand in only eight hours.
Directly following his victory, CDU leader Friedrich Merz reneged on promises to halt mass immigration, stating, “None of us are talking about border closures. No one…”
Merz’s milquetoast CDU wants to shut out the AfD by forming a coalition government with the far-left. The Artkos Journal predicted the CDU “will twist itself into whatever grotesque coalition is required to keep the machine grinding on.”
Germany suffers from demilitarization, green-mandated deindustrialization, population implosion (a 1.4% fertility rate), and mass Islamic immigration (foreigners constitute 20% of the population).
9. ROMANIA ARRESTS LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Romanian authorities arrested anti-globalist Călin Georgescu and raided 50 of his supporters, moments before he was scheduled to re-submit his Presidential candidacy. Georgescu was criminally indicted but released under a gag order mandating he not create social media accounts or appear on “mass media.”
Last year, Georgescu won the first election round, only to see Romania’s Constitutional Court annul the election over claims of “Russian interference.” Earlier this month, Vice President JD Vance criticized the Court for canceling the election.
Former State Department official Mike Benz said that Romania is being targeted because of its critical relations to NATO, Ukraine, and Russia, and noted that Georgescu’s arrest follows similar globalist-directed arrests of Polish and Pakistani leaders. Benz said, “All it takes to have your democracy pillaged and overthrown by The Blob is to be ‘neutral’ on Ukraine.”
Jack Posobiec compared Romania’s “color revolution” to the arrests of President Trump and J6 patriots, saying, “We’ve seen it again and again, the raiding of homes, the arresting of political candidates.”
10. DECLINE IN CHRISTIANITY HAS “LEVELED OFF”: Pew Research reports that 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christians (down from 78% in 2007), and 29% are religiously unaffiliated (up from 16% in 2007). The decline in Christian identification appears to be “leveling off” over the past 4-5 years, fueled by increasing interest from young people. Dr. David Campbell commented, “If you’re a young white male these days and you think of yourself as conservative, then being religious is a part of that.”
Answers In Genesis founder Ken Ham recently stated, “I believe that the church is to blame for much of what has happened in our former Christianized cultures… The majority of churches have departed from an uncompromising stand on God’s Word, starting in Genesis… We need reformation, transformation, and revival in our churches so they will once again impact the culture and raise generations of godly people.”
11. VIVEK RAMASWAMEY ANNOUNCES BID FOR OHIO GOVERNOR: Vivek Ramaswamy officially launched his campaign for Ohio Governor, stating, “President Trump is reviving our conviction in America. We require a leader here at home who will revive our conviction in Ohio… I am running to be the governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind… I will lead Ohio to be the top state in the country where patriots across America actually flock to, instead of Florida and Texas.”
Both President Trump and Elon Musk swiftly endorsed Ramaswamy. Charlie Kirk stated, “He’ll make a phenomenal next governor of the great state of Ohio.”
Joseph Schuster, who was Vivek’s high school classmate, said that Vivek wants to make Ohio “the new Silicon Valley” and called Vivek” a rootless elite” who sees Ohio as merely “an untapped resource to be exploited for higher GDP output.”
Ed. Note: See Vivek’s campaign website here.
12. ZELENSKY STORMS OUT OF WHITE HOUSE AFTER MEETING WITH TRUMP, VANCE: On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy abruptly left the White House, without signing the planned U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal. During the meeting, Zelenskyy lectured Trump and Vance and demanded “security guarantees.”
Trump told Zelenskyy, “You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have…” Trump said that Zelenskyy can return “when he is ready for peace.”
In his Wednesday White House visit with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer claimed that his country values “free speech.” Vance stressed, “There have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British…but also affect American technology companies, and, by extension, American citizens.”
Following their Monday White House meeting, President Trump said he and French President Emmanuel Macron made “a lot of progress” on ending the Ukraine war.
Ed. Note: Even pro-Ukrainian analyst Marc Thiessen admitted, “This is entirely Zelensky’s fault. Trump greeted him graciously, was ready to turn the page. Just said he wanted to get help Ukraine get it’s territory back. And Z comes in and gets into a fight in public? I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

- “It is likely that most of the gold at Fort Knox, as with the US regime’s gold in general, is gold stolen from ordinary Americans as a part of Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts to end the gold standard and confiscate private gold holdings in the United States.” –Ryan McMaken
- “IVF, big fertility, the baby-making industry, victimizes about 4 million children every year in terms of violating their right to life.” –Katy Faust
- “They used feminism to get women into the workforce so they could tax both parents and raise your kids themselves.” –Dr. Simon Goddek
- “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing as they must if they believe they can do nothing. There is nothing worse because the council of despair is declaration of irresponsibility; it is Pilate washing his hands.” –Edmund Burke
- “Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.” –JC Ryle
- “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” –Luke 12:2
FAITH, FAMILY & FREEDOM REPORT
1. HUD SECRETARY GIVES POWERFUL PRAYER AT FIRST TRUMP CABINET MEETING: Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner prayed, “Father, we thank You for this awesome privilege, Father, to be in Your presence… The Bible says that ‘Your mercies are new every morning,’ and Father God, we give you the glory and the honor… Lord God, we pray that we would lead with a righteous clarity… Father, the Bible says, ‘Blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord…’ Father, thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America. Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that You will be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
2. TRUMP DEMOLISHES CLIMATE AGENDA: Marc Morano, Executive Director of Climate Depot, said, “I can tell you that in my lifetime, I have never seen a president more consequential, at least domestically, in what [Trump] has accomplished in less than three weeks. He has literally driven a stake through the heart of the climate scam, particularly the international UN global climate scam.” Politico lamented, “Trump has done more to unravel U.S. climate policy in the past 30 days than during the entirety of his first administration.”
3. J6 PATRIOT JEREMY BROWN FREED: January 6 patriot Jeremy Brown was finally freed from illegal detention five weeks after being pardoned by President Trump. Journalist Breanna Morello noted, “Brown had his home raided by the FBI after he released audio exposing the agency for attempting to recruit him as an Oath Keepers informant prior to J6. Brown never went into the Capitol on J6. Brown was targeted for exposing the government.”
4. GEORGIA SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS HEARTBEAT LAW: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 6-1 to uphold the state’s heartbeat law. The Worldview in 5 Minutes reported, “The law bans the killing of unborn babies with detectable heartbeats with some exceptions. The latest ruling overturns a lower court ruling in a case brought by abortion activists. Heartbeat laws in other states have been upheld by their respective supreme courts, including Florida, Iowa, and South Carolina.”
5. MONTANA WORKS TO BAN MRNA VACCINES: The Montana House introduced a bill to ban mRNA vaccines for humans. Journalist Jennifer Sparks stated, “We are at a tipping point in history. Will we be a free society with full informed consent, or will we be subjects to a technocratic oligarch that controls us through biotechnology?”
6. DESANTIS CALLS TO END PROPERTY TAXES: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) stated, “Just for being on your property, you’ve got to write a check to the government every year, so you’re basically paying rent to the government to live on your own property… A lot of people can’t afford that, so I think that’s a big issue.”
7. UTAH TO BAN FLUORIDE FROM WATER: The Utah House and Senate passed a bill to ban fluoride from water. Rep. Stephanie Gricius (R), who sponsored the bill, stated, “I am a firm believer that the proper role of government is to provide safe, clean drinking water, not medicate the public on a mass scale.”
8. FLORIDA LAUNCHES STATE DOGE TASK FORCE: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced the launch of a state Department of Government Efficiency, explaining, “Florida has set the standard for fiscally conservative governance, and our new Florida DOGE task force will do even more to serve the people of Florida. The Florida State DOGE Task Force will implement a multi-pronged approach to eliminating bureaucratic bloat and modernizing our state government.”
9. BILL INTRODUCED TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reintroduced a bill to permanently defund Planned Parenthood. The bill reads, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or to any of its affiliates.” Paul stated, “My commitment to protecting life isn’t just personal, it’s rooted in both science and principle.”
10. BILL INTRODUCED TO WITHDRAW US FROM UNITED NATIONS: Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) reintroduced the DEFUND Act to withdraw the United States from the United Nations. Lee declared, “With the DEFUND Act, we’re stepping away from this debacle. If we engage with the UN in the future, it will be on our terms, with the full backing of the Senate and an iron-clad escape clause.”
11. JEFF CLARK JOINS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: President Trump has named Attorney Jeff Clark as White House Regulation Czar. Clark responded, “I am deeply grateful to both President Trump and to OMB Director Russ Vought for reposing this very important public trust in me… A lot of hard work on complex topics across the vast gamut of the federal government await me in this office.” Clark was targeted by lawfare for being one of the few Trump officials to question the rigged 2020 election.
12. RFK JR. PAUSES NEW COVID VACCINE DEVELOPMENT: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. paused a contract with Vaxart to create a new Covid vaccine as part of Biden’s Project NextGen initiative. Kennedy stated, “While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services (HHS) support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart’s.”
13. RFK. JR HAS HIGHEST FAVORABILITY RATING OF ANY AMERICAN POLITICAL FIGURE: Independent Christian Movick noted, “A recent Harvard/Harris poll shows that of all the political figures they asked about, Kennedy has the highest net favorability with +9%. It also found that Trump is at +7%, Harris is at -14 %, and Biden is at -24 %.”
14. WHITE HOUSE DEALS ANOTHER BLOW TO MAINSTREAM MEDIA: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the White House Correspondents’ Association would no longer be in charge of selecting the press pool. Leavitt explained, “We will continue to rotate a radio pool and add other radio hosts who have been denied access, especially local radio hosts who serve as the heartbeat of our country. And we will add additional outlets and reporters who are well-suited to cover the news of the day.”
15. JOY REID LOSES SHOW ON MSNBC: Far-left propaganda outlet MSNBC announced cancellations of shows from Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Jonathan Capehart in an apparent effort to bring back lost viewers. President Trump responded, “This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party. They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they’ve done to our Country. Fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!”
16. RECORD NUMBER OF AMERICANS SAY COUNTRY IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK: Rassmussen reports that 47% of Americans now feel the country is on the “right track,” up from 28% in September 2024, and the highest number in about 20 years. A Napolitan News survey puts President Trump’s approval rating at 53% approve vs. 44% disapprove.
17. SHANAHAN SHARES HER TESTIMONY OF COMING TO CHRIST: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, announced she recently trusted Jesus Christ as her Savior and was baptized. Shanahan concluded, “For those who are searching, who feel the same longing I once did, I can only say this: keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Faith is not about having all the answers but about trusting in the One who does. And when you find Him, you will know you are finally home.” In an interview, she stated, “There’s only one book, and that’s the New Testament, that helps you understand how to go up against evil – like, to really arm yourself.”
HYMN OF THE WEEK
Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken by John Newton
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He, whose Word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode!
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove!
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t’ assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
Round each habitation hov’ring,
See the cloud and fire appear!
For a glory and a cov’ring,
Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from our banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray!
