Dear Friends,
JR Miller remarked, “If Christ is our friend, all life is made rich and beautiful to us. The past, with all the sacred loss it holds, lives before us in Him. The future is a garden-spot in which all life’s sweet hopes, that seem to have perished on the earth, will be found growing for us.”
1. SCHWAB OUT AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM: Arch-globalist Klaus Schwab abruptly stepped down as World Economic Forum Chairman, one day after the WEF launched an investigation into Schwab for allegedly misusing WEF funds (along with his wife Hilde) and mistreating employees.
The 88-year-old Schwab, who had planned to remain with the WEF until 2027, vowed to sue the anonymous individuals behind the whistleblower letter and “anybody who spreads these mistruths.”
Former Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has been appointed interim chairman.
The Sociable’s Time Hinchliffe predicted, “The WEF will continue to push for the total technocratic takeover of society through the merger of corporation and state, the fusion of humans and machines, and the Orwellian use of technologies emerging from the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution that blurs our physical, biological and digital identities.”
But The Dossier’s Jordan Schachtel said it will be difficult for the WEF to “reinvent itself” and maintain funding without Schwab, who has led the organization since its founding over 50 years ago.
The Blaze’s Joseph MacKinnon remarked, “Schwab has quickly gone from trying to reshape the lives of billions to trying to keep his together.”
Professor Michael Rectenwald said Schwab will “go down in history as one of the most arrogant globalists ever to live.”
Ed. Note: Job 20:4-5 declares, “Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?”
2. POPE FRANCIS DEAD AT 88: Pope Francis went to meet his Maker on Monday morning, following a lengthy illness. In 2013, Francis, previously known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, became the first Jesuit Pope and the first Pope from the Western Hemisphere.
During his tenure, Francis approved church blessings for homosexual couples, publicly affirmed LGBT ideology, and gave Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians.
Francis gave the Chinese Communist Party control over appointing bishops, stood with brutal Marxist regimes, repeatedly criticized Trump’s opposition to open borders, downplayed Islamic terrorism and persecution of Christians, and promoted world government.
Last September, Francis said, “All religions are paths to God.”
The conservative Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò posted, “In 2018, Eugenio Scalfari reported the words that Bergoglio supposedly confided to him about his vision of the afterlife: ‘Sinful souls are not punished: those who repent obtain God’s forgiveness and join the ranks of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven, disappear. There is no hell, sinful souls simply disappear.’”
The Grand Lodge of Italy praised Francis’ work as “deeply resonant with the principles of Freemasonry.”
Tens of thousands will view Francis’ body as it lies in state at the Vatican, ahead of his Saturday funeral. President Trump, who will attend the funeral along with the First Lady, posted, “Rest in Peace, Pope Francis! May God bless him and all who loved him!”
135 cardinal electors (110 of whom were selected by Francis) will meet in the Sistine Chapel for a conclave to choose the next pope.
3. SUPREME COURT RESISTS TRUMP’S DEPORTATIONS: On Friday night, the Supreme Court issued a hasty order pausing President Trump from deporting Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang members, with only Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting.
Justice Alito wrote, “In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of received the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order.”
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to give illegals extra time to appeal their deportations, with Justices Roberts and Gorsuch joining the three liberals.
4. REACTIONS TO THE RULINGS: President Trump criticized the Supreme Court and posted, “I’m doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don’t seem to want me to do that… If we don’t get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer. We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years…”
Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said January 6 political prisoners “could only dream of the ‘due process’ afforded illegal aliens.” Miller said, “This isn’t due process – this is called ‘infinity process’ to keep you here forever!”
The Federalist CEO Sean Davis noted, “John Roberts sat around and did nothing while U.S. citizens were thrown in solitary confinement without a trial for years, but when a foreign terrorist illegal was deported, Roberts suddenly became very concerned with due process.”
The Post Millenial’s Libby Emmons said judges and Democrats greenlighted Biden’s illegal border invasion because “they wanted this to happen.”
Auron MacIntyre observed, “Due process is when only one side has to follow the law, and if you point out that this is a suicidal standard, you’re a fascist.”
Attorney Rogan O’Handley urged, “Enough is enough – it’s time for President Trump to consider suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus to deport the millions of illegal aliens who invaded our country.”
5. MORE JUDICIAL UPDATES: Rogue judges ordered Trump to restore federal funds to sanctuary cities, stop enforcing proof-of-citizenship for voter registration, and restore funds to schools engaging in DEI.
A New York judge ruled against Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ efforts to allow ICE agents into the Rikers Island jail.
Authorities arrested New Mexico Judge Joel Cano and his wife over charges of hiding a Tren de Aragua gang member at their house. The FBI arrested Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien “evade arrest.”
Border czar Tom Homan warned, “If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from ICE you will be prosecuted. These actions are felonies. More to come…”
6. COUP AGAINST HEGSETH CONTINUES: With the help of “anonymous sources” and former top Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot, mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times and Politico, attacked Pete Hegseth’s leadership and called for the Defense Secretary’s ouster.
When asked if Hegseth will be replaced, President Trump said, “It’s just fake news. You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people, and that’s what he’s doing. You don’t always have friends when you do that.”
A new video from O’Keefe Media group showed DoD Branch Chief Nicolas Turza calling President Trump “illegitimate” and vowing to “resist him, everything he does.”
Emerald Robinson reported, “The push to get rid of Defense Secretary Hegseth is being done by the pro-Israel hawks who want to install Senator Tom Cotton in the Pentagon to make sure America goes to war with Iran, according to three sources.”
Pollster Rich Baris predicted that Trump’s base and agenda will “suffer” if Hegseth is removed.
7. INFIGHTING AT THE PENTAGON: Semafor said Hegseth is “on an island at the Pentagon,” following the firing of key allies.
Former Pentagon adviser Dan Caldwell, one of three officials dismissed last week over alleged leaking, told Tucker Carlson the investigation was “weaponized against us.” He said, “Everyone knows where that’s [the leaking] coming from. It’s from the career staff who don’t like what the president and the secretary and vice president want to do. There’s a less obvious place… Susan Rice, Michele Flournoy, and Eric Edelman are still in good standing with the Department of Defense.”
This week, Hegseth’s Chief of Staff Joe Kasper, who reportedly had a “deep vendetta” against Caldwell and the other two fired officials, was ousted from his position.
Charlie Kirk said, “Pete Hegseth stands in the way of the neocons and the woke.”

8. CAN THE TRUMP ADMIN BOOST PLUMMETING BIRTH RATES? The New York Times reports the Trump administration is considering several initiatives to increase marriage and birth rates, including a potential $5,000 “baby bonus” every time a mother has a child.
In 2023, President Trump called for a “baby boom.” Already, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, himself a father of nine, has moved to allocate more transportation funding to areas with higher birth and marriage rates.
Activist Simone Collins said, “Look at the number of kids that major leaders in the administration have. You didn’t hear about kids in the same way under Biden.”
In 2023, the U.S. fertility rate dipped to 1.62 births per woman, well below the 2.1 replacement rate.
9. EXPERTS RECOMMEND ADDRESSING INFERTILITY, ENCOURAGING STRONG FAMILIES: The Heritage Foundation’s Emma Waters praised the proposals and added, “The birthrate collapse is driven not just by fewer kids per marriage, but by fewer marriages… We need policies that reward marriage and family formation – not just giving birth in isolation.”
Waters noted, “As many as 1 in 7 American couples struggle with infertility… We spend more on researching hair loss… Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) means addressing the root causes…rather than papering over them with treatments like IVF.”
In a detailed policy paper, the Center for Renewing America called for boosting marriage and birth rates “to ensure the country’s prosperity and truly enter a new Golden Age.”
Family researchers Lyman Stone and Brad Wilcox criticized Elon Musk’s “high-tech polygamy,” writing, “Research on family structure has found that wealth and good genes aren’t everything… Children are more likely to struggle if one of their parents is absent… The increasing popularity of surrogacy and IVF is facilitating conditions that we know are undesirable for children and for society at large… The ultimate privilege for any child, even the richest, is a stable, loving family headed by their own two married parents.”
Musk, who has at least 14 children by four different women, has repeatedly warned about declining birth rates.
Allie Beth Stuckey stated, “If you’re worried about the depopulation crisis, your first order of business is to get married. Then, have lots of kids. We don’t just need more babies. We need more stable families.”
Ed. Note: Psalm 127:3 states, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
10. TRUMP, VANCE, INCREASINGLY IMPATIENT OVER UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR: Following a Russian missile/drone strike on Kyiv that killed at least 12 and injured around 90 people, President Trump wrote, “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!”
Trump also criticized Ukraine’s Zelenskyy for saying, “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea.” Trump said Russia’s concession to Ukraine will be “stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country.”
Vice President JD Vance outlined a peace proposal that would allow Russia to keep all currently occupied territory, ban Ukraine from joining NATO, and require Ukraine to recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Vance said, “We’ve issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it’s time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process.”
11. SEN. JOHNSON SAYS TRUTH ABOUT 9/11 IS BEING “COVERED UP”: Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of the most courageous truth-tellers in the U.S. Senate, questioned the official 9/11 narrative, in an interview with podcaster Benny Johnson.
Johnson said, “Well, start with Building 7. Again, I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigations like NIST that would say that that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition. Who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence?”
Johnson said his “eyes have been opened up,” and he will be investigating with former Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA), who recently appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, “to expose what he’s willing to expose.”
Johnson hopes the Trump administration will release previously hidden documents.
The Senator said, “My guess is there’s an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9/11.”

And all of my rest is Jesus!
Jesus, Jesus,
All of my rest is Jesus!
From morning till night I sing with delight—

All of my light is Jesus!
From morning till night I sing with delight—
Jesus, my precious Jesus!
My heart has a Friend, all compassion and love,

My dearest friend is Jesus!
From morning till night I sing with delight—
Jesus, my precious Jesus!
