Dear Friends,
J.C. Ryle urged, “Read the Bible daily. Make it part of your everyday business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Gather your manna fresh every morning. Do not scramble over and hurry your reading. Give your Bible the best, and not the worst, part of your time. Whatever plan you pursue, let it be a rule of your life to visit the throne of grace and the Bible every day.”
1. CBS SAYS FREE SPEECH CAUSED THE HOLOCAUST: During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CBS’ Margaret Brennan criticized Vice President J.D. Vance’s Munich speech, stating, “Well, [Vance] was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups.”
Rubio shot back, “Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal… There was no free speech in Nazi Germany… There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany…”
The same day, CBS’ 60 Minutes aired a segment documenting Germany’s pre-dawn Gestapo-style raids on citizens guilty of “hate speech.” German prosecutor Dr. Matthäus Fink said that free speech “has limits.” Vance responded, “Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the U.S. must reject this lunacy.”
The controversy comes as Germany’s “far-right” AfD Party is projected to come in second in Sunday’s elections.
2. RFK JR. QUESTIONS CHILDHOOD VACCINES, SAYS “NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS”: In his first official press conference, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his department will investigate “formerly taboo” topics behind the chronic disease epidemic, including “the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra-processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAs, PFOAs, microplastics.”
Kennedy said “nothing is off-limits” and those resistant to change “can retire.” He vowed to remove “conflicts of interest,” pursue “unbiased science,” and “launch a new era of radical transparency.”
In an interview, Kennedy criticized the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) for capturing “less than 1% of vaccine injuries” and promised to create a better system immediately.
The Beef Initiative recently revealed four shocking facts: (1) Over 141,000 family farms disappeared between 2017 and 2022, (2) Type 2 diabetes quadrupled and obesity rates hit 42% since 1980, (3) Four corporations control 85% of U.S. beef, and (4) Big Pharma spends $19.6 billion on ads and $102 billion on research.
3. KASH PATEL CONFIRMED AS FBI DIRECTOR: Trump ally Kash Patel was confirmed to lead the FBI 51-49, with Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK) voting no. The three previous FBI directors – Robert Mueller, James Comey, and Christopher Wray – were confirmed with zero, one, and five no votes, respectively.
Patel promised to end the “politicization of our justice system” and “hunt down” “those who seek to harm Americans.” Patel told FBI agents, “You will be held to the same high standard. Any deviation from that standard will not be tolerated at this Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
Two days after Trump’s election victory, Patel said, “He’s [Trump] going to come in there and might just give them the Epstein list, the ‘Diddy list,’ and everything else they’re terrified of being exposed.”
Former FBI agent Jeff Danik warned that Patel could be “siloed” by senior FBI officials unless he swiftly creates his own trusted leadership team. Only 41% of Americans trust the FBI, down from 59% in 2014.
4. $4.7 TRILLION MISSING, 60 MILLION FAKE SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS: Elon Musk revealed that 20.789 million Americans aged 100-200 are collecting social security benefits. Journalist Robby Starbuck questioned, “I wonder how many of these people over 100 are registered to vote and vote in elections?”
One DOGE analyst noted that 394 million individuals are “eligible” for social security benefits, compared to approximately 334.9 million American citizens. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said foreigners are using “fake Social Security numbers…to steal billions in taxpayer benefits.”
DOGE announced that $4.7 trillion in Treasury Department transactions are “almost impossible” to trace due to missing identification codes. Economist Jeffrey A. Tucker asked if “all the debates about the budget and all the voting and signing ceremonies have been nothing but theater for generations.”
5. TRUMP, MUSK CALL TO AUDIT FORT KNOX: President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called to audit the gold at Fort Knox. Musk suggested “a live video walkthrough,” and Trump said, “If the gold isn’t there, we’re going to be very upset.”
Former Reagan Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts wrote, “The rise in the price of gold reflects the increase in physical purchases. It seems clear enough that the Fed or Treasury is desperate to put gold back into Fort Knox in advance of the audit.”
In 2011, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) observed, “No one from Congress has been allowed to view the gold at Fort Knox in nearly 40 years… This gold belongs to the people, especially since much of it was forcibly taken from them in the 1930s…”
6. ANTI-TRUMP LAWSUITS CONTINUE, WITH ZUCKERBURG FUNDING: War Room White House correspondent Natalie Winters revealed that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has given nearly $7 billion to leftist initiatives since 2015, including $2 billion to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which supports Protect Democracy, a group leading multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order. The Trump State Department has informed Judge Amir Ali that they will not comply with his order to reinstate funding for USAID.
Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan declined to stop DOGE from accessing agency data or firing federal employees after 14 Democratic attorneys general filed suit. Judge Christopher Cooper Law declined to block the Trump administration’s mass layoffs. Law professor Jonathan Turley predicted that rulings against DOGE will be “quickly reversed.”
Former Reagan official Paul Craig Roberts said the Social Security scandal explains why leftist judges are trying to “prevent the Trump administration from having access to official US government data.”
7. CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCER SAYS SHE IS MOTHER OF MUSK’S CHILD: On Valentine’s Day, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair posted on X, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”
St. Clair said, “I am a good mom… My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything.”
Musk, who is the father of 12 previous children by three women, has refused to comment on the allegations. But multiple conservatives responded with congratulatory notes, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who wrote, “This child has incredible genetics.”
Christian podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey responded, “Babies are ALWAYS a blessing, no matter what. But I am genuinely heartbroken by the purposeful creation of motherless or fatherless children, and it feels weird publicly applauding that.” Stuckey added, “We need more stable families.”
The Blaze’s Delano Squires lamented, “Stripping marriage from the family formation equation paves the way for commercial surrogacy, unregulated IVF, and same-sex adoption. This shift has consequences… The belief that a man’s bank account can replace his presence in the home ignores a fundamental truth: Fatherhood is about more than money.”
Author Katy Faust commented, “Children have a right to their mother and father. Marriage secures that right…”
Former Turning Point USA contributor Jon Root stated, “Much of conservatism is filled with godless hypocrites who couldn’t care less about conserving traditional family values. It’s way past time we come to grips with that fact… Pray for Ashley St. Clair and Elon Musk’s child. Pray for his parents’ repentance.”
Ed. Note: The sad reality is that it may be easier to dismantle the administrative state (as Trump and Musk are currently doing) than to reverse the hundred-year Marxist war on the American family and the 1960s sexual revolution. America’s greatest need is repentance to God, leading to strong marriages and families.
8. TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER EXPANDING IVF: President Trump signed an Executive Order directing his administration to create “a list of policy recommendations on protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF,” bringing Trump one step closer to fulfilling his campaign promise of taxpayer-funded IVF.
The White House fact sheet said the directive “recognizes the importance of family formation” and “makes it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children.”
Live Action President Lila Rose responded, “Only 7% of human embryos created via IVF will result in a live birth. 93% of these lives are frozen indefinitely, miscarried, or aborted. Over 1,000,000 embryos are frozen in the U.S. IVF is NOT pro-life.”
Jennifer Friesen of Them Before Us urged, “Real medicine should work to identify and heal the underlying causes of infertility. Natural alternatives like NaProTechnology do exactly that – without creating embryos who are treated as ‘excess’ or financing an industry that victimizes children.”
Allie Beth Stuckey said America is “the Wild West of reproductive technology,” and IVF “ kills more innocent humans than abortion each year.”

9. LIBERAL WOMEN ARE LESS HAPPY, MORE LONELY: An American Family Survey found that only 12% of liberal women aged 18 to 40 say they are “completely satisfied” with their lives, compared to 37% of conservative women and 28% of moderate women. Liberal women are nearly three times more likely to experience loneliness several times a week than conservative women.
31% of liberal women say they are married, as opposed to 51% of conservative women. 55% of conservative women attend church weekly, but only 12% of liberal women do. Study authors Grant Bailey and Brad Wilcox noted that church attendance and marriage “account for about half the ideological gap among young women.”
Last year, researchers Brad Wilcox, Wendy Wang, and Sam Herrin wrote, “Republicans continue to enjoy significantly happier marriages and somewhat more stable families with children than Democrats. One bottom line is that a majority of young Republicans are married, whereas only a minority of young Democrats are married.”
10. HOUSE CONTROL, ELECTION INTEGRITY ON THE LINE IN WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT RACE: Former Republican Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel is running against Democratic Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford for a chance to flip the state Supreme Court red on April 1. The contest is set to become the most expensive state judicial race in U.S. history.
Leftists have promised to redraw Wisconsin’s congressional maps to pick up two additional Democratic House seats if they win. Election integrity is also at stake, as the Democratic-controlled court ruled in July 2024 to bring back ballot drop boxes and just this week to uphold mobile voting vans. The court could gut the state’s voter ID requirements.
Elon Musk urged Wisconsin residents to vote Republican “to prevent voting fraud.” Wisconsin GOP Chairman Brian Schimming said the race could decide “the success of President Trump’s term” and give Democrats “the votes to bring impeachment articles against him.”
Grassroots activist Scott Pressler warned, “Unless people step up to take action and do it quickly, the Court will stay under liberal control.” Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) declared, “We have to win in April, or Wisconsin may never be a battleground state again.”
11. FORMER BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT BOLSONARO INDICTED BY COMMUNISTS: Brazilian Attorney General Paulo Gonet Branco indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro and 33 others for an alleged coup to “overturn” the country’s rigged 2022 election. The indictment follows recommendations made by Brazil’s federal police and judicial rulings banning Bolsonaro from running in 2026.
Bolsonaro called the charges “nothing more than a desperate attempt to criminalize my political movement, silence millions of Brazilians, and rig the next election before a single vote is cast.” Bolsonaro stated, “This is the same failed strategy that was used against President Trump.”
Hours after the announcement, Trump Media & Technology Group and Rumble sued Judge Alexandre de Moraes for previously ordering Rumble to censor certain accounts.
Former State Department official Mike Benz has noted that USAID spent tens of millions to create a censorship apparatus in Brazil that ultimately ousted Bolsonaro.
12. PEACE TALKS CONTINUE AS TRUMP SEEKS TO END UKRAINE WAR: Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Riyadh to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war. The two diplomats and their teams discussed re-establishing U.S.-Russia relations, a ceasefire, new Ukrainian elections, and potential European peacekeepers in Ukraine.
Following the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Trump of living in a “disinformation space.” Trump fired back, calling Zelensky a “dictator without elections” who “wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going.”
The summit came several days after a Munich meeting with Zelensky, Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance. Rubio accused Zelensky of lying about the meeting after Zelensky reneged on a tentative deal to repay $200 billion of U.S. taxpayer aid with rare earth minerals.
Vance said, “I really believe that we’re on the cusp of peace in Europe for the first time in three years, because we have leadership from the Oval Office, and we haven’t had it in four years in this country.”

- Trump terminated all remaining Biden DOJ U.S. Attorneys, calling to restore “a fair justice system.”
- Trump signed an executive order to rein in “rogue agencies,” directing each agency (with the exception of the Federal Reserve) to submit its regulations to the Office of Management and Budget for approval.
- EPA head Lee Zeldin revealed that the agency previously diverted $20 billion to be directed to other NGOs, including $2 billion to Stacey Abrams’ climate group.
- The New York Post reports that HHS doled out $20 billion in taxpayer-funded services to illegals.
- Trump said he and Musk are considering giving 20% of DOGE savings “to American citizens” and 20% to “paying down debt.” Ron Paul said the proposed $5,000 “refund” checks would constitute additional government borrowing.
15. INTERNATIONAL STORIES
- Hamas terrorists returned what they claimed were the bodies of four murdered Israeli hostages, including 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel.

We actually think God made male and female for a purpose, and we want you guys to thrive as young men, and as young women. And we’re going to help with our public policy to make it possible to do that.” –J.D. Vance

FAITH, FAMILY & FREEDOM REPORT
1. TENNESSEE INTRODUCES TRUE SCHOOL CHOICE BILL: Tennessee Representative Todd Warner (R) and Senator Janie Bowling (R) introduced the FREE Act, a school choice bill that would remove all government involvement from those wishing to homeschool their children. Alex Newman commented, “The measure would end [onerous] restrictions with a goal of enshrining in law the ‘fundamental right of parents to direct the education, upbringing, and care of their children.’”
2. HHS RECOGNIZES ONLY TWO GENDERS: The Department of Health and Human Services released new guidance stating that there are only two genders, male and female. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared, “This administration is bringing back common sense and restoring biological truth to the federal government. The prior administration’s policy of trying to engineer gender ideology into every aspect of public life is over.”
3. TRUMP DEFUNDS SCHOOLS REQUIRING COVID SHOT: President Trump signed an executive order to defund all schools that still require the Covid shot, fulfilling his campaign promise, “I will not allow schools to impose COVID vaccine mandates.” The Brownstone Institute noted, “While there are only 15 colleges and universities left mandating these shots, the magnitude of his message to higher education leaders should not be underestimated.”
4. STATE LAWMAKERS SUPPORT RFK JR’S POLICIES: State lawmakers are rallying behind newly appointed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, introducing bills related to the MAHA movement on the state level. Arizona state Rep. Leo Biasiucci (R), who introduced a bill to ban dyes and additives from school lunches, stated, “It took Bobby to get into the position that he is in now for something to happen. I can’t thank him enough for [finally putting] a spotlight on this.”
5. CHIP ROY INTRODUCES LIABLE ACT: Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced the LIABLE Act, a bill to strip Covid vaccine manufacturers of liability protections. Roy declared, “Millions of Americans were forced to choose between a largely untested vaccine or their livelihood… Few have been afforded proper recourse.

6. LOUISIANA ENDS MAJOR PROMOTION OF VACCINES: The Louisiana Department of Health stated, “While we encourage each patient to discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with their provider, LDH will no longer promote mass vaccination.” Health freedom advocate Sayer Ji said, “The people of this nation and the world are waking up to the fact that health sovereignty and freedom are unassailable and irreducible human rights.”
7. KANSAS LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR: Libs of TikTok celebrated, “The Kansas state legislature just voted to OVERTURN Governor Laura Kelly’s veto of the Help Not Harm Act.

9. MEXICAN CARTELS BRANDED AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS: Marco Rubio’s Department of State has labeled six different Mexican cartels and the Venezuelan gang, Tren De Aragua, as terrorist organizations. Breitbart added, “The terrorist designation comes as the Trump administration has been pressuring Mexico to act against drug cartels. The president has also accused that country’s government of being tied to criminal organizations.”
10. FLORIDA PARTNERS WITH ICE TO DEPORT ILLEGALS: Florida Governor Ron Desantis (R) declared, “Florida is setting the example for states in combating illegal immigration. By allowing our state agents and law enforcement officers to be trained and approved by ICE, Florida will now have more enforcement personnel deputized to assist federal partners. That means deportations can be carried out more efficiently, making our communities safer as illegal aliens are removed.”
11. BIDEN STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PLAN FULLY DEFEATED: The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Biden Administration’s plan to forgive almost $500 billion in student loan debt, ruling that the Secretary of Education had “gone well beyond this authority by designing a plan where loans are largely forgiven rather than repaid.” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) emphasized, “This precedent is imperative to ensuring a President cannot force working Americans to foot the bill for someone else’s Ivy League debt.”

Luna’s task force are steadfast champions of transparency, and I am confident they will vigorously pursue and deliver the truth.”
13. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION BATTLES LEFTIST ABA: Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson has ordered all FTC employees to end their association with the American Bar Association (ABA). Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) responded, “Hats off to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson for disassociating himself and the FTC from the [ABA], aka, ‘the lawyer’s wing of the Democratic Party.’ The ABA has every right to exist as a leftist institution. But let’s not pretend it’s anything other than a leftist advocacy group.”

BACK TO PLASTIC!”
16.

HYMN OF THE WEEK
Endearing Lord by Barney E. Warren
O Christ divine, O God of love,
Thou source of every good:
I’ll live in time and heav’n above,
And serve Thee as I should!
Sweet peace and love now reign within,
Like rolling rivers flow,
Thus keeping all my life from sin
In this vain world below.
Lord, if I had ten thousand lives,
I’d give them all to Thee!
Thy matchless goodness surely proves
Thy wondrous love to me.
Majestic Christ! O dearest Friend!
Thou princely One so pure!
Let men and angel voices blend,
Thy royal name adore.
Endearing Lord! Majestic One!
With radiant glories crowned!
Oh, Thou hast conquered, I have come,
Thy pard’ning grace I’ve found.
