Dear Friends,
Charles Spurgeon asserted, “You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace.”
1. LEFTISTS STORM MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH: On Sunday morning, anti-ICE leftists stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and intimidated worshippers (including children) in protest of one of the pastors who also serves as an ICE agent.
The shutdown was organized by BLM activist Nekima Levy Armstrong. Former CNN host Don Lemon participated, claiming he was there “not as an activist, but as a journalist.”
Protestors chanted, “Hands up, Don’t shoot,” and “ICE out.” Lead pastor Jonathan Parnell told Lemon, “This is unacceptable… It’s shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.”
Christian commentator Todd Starnes called the invaders “godless thugs.”
DNI Tulsi Gabbard posted, “One of the main reasons I left the Democratic Party is its leaders’ attempts to undermine religious freedom, erase God’s presence from every aspect of public life, and their open hostility toward people of faith and spirituality.”
On Thursday, AG Pam Bondi announced that the FBI had arrested two individuals, including Armstrong. Bondi promised “more to come” and stated, “WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.”
2. TRUMP LECTURES GLOBAL ELITES: This year’s World Economic Forum meeting in Davos came nine months after globalist Klaus Schwab was pushed out of his organization over allegations of ethical and financial misconduct.
Last year, President Trump addressed the Davos meeting via telecast; this year, he attended in person, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and other top advisors.
In his one and a half hour-long speech, Trump celebrated wins on immigration and the economy, blasted Wall Street investors for driving up the price of homes, and slammed the “Green New Scam.”
Trump criticized Western elites for pursuing “ever-increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports.” He said the Ukraine war would never have started if the 2020 election hadn’t been “rigged.” He called globalist governments “ungrateful” for U.S. military support.
Trump praised BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, stating, “Everything Larry touches turns to gold.”
Trump said the U.S. wants a “strong” Europe and urged Europe to reverse its suicidal policies. He asserted, “The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot import foreign cultures which have failed to build a successful society of their own… The explosion of prosperity and progress that built the West did not come from tax codes. It ultimately came from our very special culture.”
3. GLOBALISTS CHAMPION NEW WORLD ORDER, MILEI PUSHES BACK: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink called for “the elites” to “regain trust.” Canadian PM Mark Carney said, “The old order is not coming back,” and called for globalists to pursue “incremental” progress and “build something better, stronger, and more just.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told reporters the Western alliance is “dormant, not dead.” Alex Soros posted a picture of himself with Newsom, calling him “the real star” of the event. Soros wrote, “World leaders could take a page out of Newsom’s book. It’s time to stand tall, stand firm, and stand united – before it’s too late.”
But Argentine President Javier Milei stated, “The Austrian School of Economics…has demonstrated the impossibility of socialism, thereby dismantling…a form of academic deafness that led to socialism and cost the world the lives of 150 million human beings, while those who managed to survive the terror did so in absurd poverty.” He also called for a return to “Judeo-Christian values.”
4. YUVAL NOAH HARARI SAYS AI WILL REPLACE RELIGION: In his disturbing speech, top Schwab advisor and historian Yuval Noah Harari said AI is an “agent” and a “tool,” but warned it has already acquired the ability to “lie and manipulate.”
Harari asserted that AI “already thinks better than many of us.” He predicted that “anything made of words will be taken over by AI,” including the legal system, books, and even religion, especially Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.” He asked, “What happens to the holy books when the greatest expert of the book is an AI?”
Harari claimed, “We will have AI doctors to help in our healthcare system, AI teachers to help in our education system, even AI border guards to stop illegal human immigrants.”
Axios noted, “Most every conversation among the Davos elites centers on two topics: AI and Trump.”
Ed. Note: Seven years ago, Harari warned of a “digital dictatorship” that could leverage data processing to hack individual brains.
5. MIKE ROWE SAYS AI IS COMING FOR THE CODERS: In a recent speech, “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe related, “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code. Well, AI is coming for the coders. It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.”
Rowe said America needs 500,000 more electricians, 140,000 tradespeople to work on the Navy’s nuclear submarines, 80,000 more automotive collision and repair technicians, and 300-500,000 more energy workers.
Rowe said, “I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”
Ed. Note: As AI and robotics accelerate, the most secure jobs will remain in “Durable Trades.”
6. VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS PUSH MARXIST AGENDA, CONSOLIDATE POWER: In November, former CIA operative Abigail Spanberger (D) won the Virginia governor’s race on “affordability,” while Democrats flipped the State House. Now, Spanberger and Democrats have unveiled a slew of radical proposals:
- Allow voters to enshrine the “right” to abortion in the state Constitution in November.
- Expand ranked-choice voting, allow ballots to be received three days after election day, and make hand-counting ballots illegal.
- Redistrict Congressional seats to eliminate up to four Republican districts.
- Introduce multiple bills that will ultimately make life more expensive for Virginians.
- Bar the state from cooperating with ICE.
- Guarantee free education to illegal aliens.
- Slap a $500 sales tax on firearm suppressors and ban “assault weapons.”
- Ban gas-powered leaf blowers.
- Add Virginia to the National Popular Vote Compact.
- Install more speed cameras.
- Eliminate minimum sentences for rape, manslaughter, child pornography, assaulting law enforcement, and repeat felonies.
- Appoint a state chief diversity officer.
- Appoint two registered Qatari lobbyists to George Mason University’s board.
- Replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”
American Majority Founder Ned Ryun commented, “There are precisely ZERO moderate Democrats among electeds.” TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet blasted weak Republicans and stated, “Democrats clearly understand power, and they wield it ruthlessly.”
Ed. Note: Like Joe Biden, Spanberger pretended to be a moderate, only to govern like a Deep State Marxist. If they ever regain power, the Democrats will replicate Biden’s agenda, but on steroids.
7. CHINA’S STEALTH AGENDA CONTINUES: Since 2021, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which includes Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as members, has deepened ties with the Chinese Communist Party and echoed pro-China positions, according to Newsweek.
Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer reports that over one million Chinese who gained U.S. citizenship through “birth tourism” could start voting in American elections in 2030. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) called Chinese birth tourism “civilization suicide” and demanded “expatriation.”
Schweizer also revealed that the CCP sends 3,000 pilots yearly to train in the U.S.
An in-depth report from the Heritage Foundation assesses that the United States is not yet ready for war with China, although China also has serious vulnerabilities. Heritage President Kevin Roberts warned, “We remain dangerously unprepared to counter this adversary.”
In a meeting last week with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, globalist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised Xi Jinping’s “leadership” and said he believes the two countries can be “strategic partners” on issues such as “security.” Carney declared, “I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.”
Ed. Note: The Chinese Communists remain America’s biggest threat. They are patient masters of deceit who have not abandoned their goal of taking down America through “Unrestricted Warfare.” Alarmingly, China will exert even more control over U.S. politics as the DSA takes over the DNC.
8. TRUMP SAYS DEAL STRUCK TO ACQUIRE GREENLAND: On Wednesday, President Trump announced that he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte have established “the framework” for a future deal with Greenland and “the entire Arctic Region.” Based on the deal, Trump is withdrawing his threat of 10% tariffs on Denmark and other opposing European countries.
The deal would reportedly allow the United States to purchase pockets of Greenland for military bases, secure mineral rights, and install Golden Dome missile defense technology.
In his Davos speech, Trump warned of Chinese and Russian influence and said, “No nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States.”
The Epoch Times asserts that securing Greenland is critical to breaking China’s rare earth monopoly, controlling trade routes, and detecting potential Chinese or Russian missiles.
9. HAS TRUMP RESTORED JUSTICE IN HIS FIRST YEAR? Shortly after retaking office, Trump pardoned over 1,500 January 6 patriots and 23 pro-lifers and revoked the security clearances of multiple Deep State officials. However, not one Deep State official has yet been imprisoned.
Glenn Beck blamed AG Pam Bondi for failing to bring justice for Epstein associates, the Trump prosecutions, Russiagate, the Mar-A-Lago raid, George Soros, the Clintons, January 6, 2020 election fraud, DOGE fraud, the Biden auto-pen scandal, Dr. Fauci, and Covid lockdowns and mandates.
Mike Cernovich faulted the Republican Senate for failing to end “blue slips,” a process that allows just one Democratic Senator to block a Trump US Attorney nominee from their state.
But Attorney Viva Frei stressed that if this is the reason for few prosecutions, the administration “should acknowledge the problem instead of pretending there isn’t a problem” and that “Bondi is performing fantastically.” Frei warned, “Time is in fact running out, and if reform does not occur, it will not occur.”
Thus far, only 15% of Trump’s federal prosecutors have been confirmed.
The Federalist CEO Sean Davis contended that starting last January, the Trump administration should have ignored edicts from rogue judges and forced John Thune and Mike Johnson to accept recess appointments.
Journalist John Solomon stated, “I’m really worried that Donald Trump doesn’t have the team at the Justice Department to bring accountability.”
10. REPUBLICANS BLOCK SAVE ACT, BUT FUND WOKE GOVERNMENT: The U.S. House passed its final government funding bills, sending them to the Senate in time to avert a shutdown. Unfortunately, 57 Republicans voted to defund Biden’s vehicle kill switch mandate, and 76 Republicans supported earmarks for abortion, DEI, and transgender mutilation for children. House Republicans rejected Trump’s requested 50% cut to the CDC, 40% cut to the NIH, and $840 million increase to ICE, and exceeded Trump’s budget request by billions.
Mike Benz wrote, “Democrats vote 100% as a block, while a third of Republicans defect to the Democrats, giving Democrats an effective majority in the House.”
Six Republican Senators –Thom Tillis, Todd Young, Jerry Moran, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitch McConnell – are reportedly firmly opposed to passing the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act). Rand Paul and Chuck Grassley have been cited as opposing the measure, but both clarified that they do, in fact, support it.
Pollster Rich Barris lamented that it is too late to sway Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, because “Congress won’t make bold moves in an election year.” Rasmussen found that the SAVE Act is wildly popular, with 73% of voters supporting photo ID.
Rep. Anna Paulina-Luna (R-FL) demanded the Senate floor be shut down “by any means possible” if the Senate refuses to pass the SAVE Act when it returns to DC. Luna stated, “I’m not going to play games… Election integrity is an important thing for the future of our nation.”
Ed. Note: Daniel Horowitz observed that for the last five primary cycles, Trump has endorsed incumbents “who keep sabotaging him.”

14. INTERNATIONAL STORIES:
- China has registered more deaths than births, for the fourth year in a row.
- Last year, Germany imported nearly 400,000 Third World immigrants, despite government promises to restrict immigration.
- Commentator Olivia Murray said the migrants are “unskilled and unable to function in a first-world economy…immediately jumping onto the taxpayers’ backs.” They also bring a “culture of pedophilia, incest, and rape with them.”
- At Davos, James O’Keefe talked with a DARPA-linked individual, who admitted that his company uses “Stratospheric aerosol injections” and “artificial rain.” The man said, “A lot of the work actually came out of the military. They do this all the time – and it’s actually pretty cheap to do.”
- President Trump officially launched the Board of Peace, of which he will be chairman. 35 countries have joined thus far, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, Indonesia, Argentina, and Paraguay. Trump has suggested that the board could replace the United Nations. The board includes three Trilateral Commission members – Tony Blair, Marc Rowan, and Ajay Banga.

15. NOTEWORTHY QUOTES:
- “The elites don’t fear AI… AI will turn a small selection of people into trillionaires while it renders millions more totally obsolete.” –Matt Walsh
- “Everyone serious understands that the justice system is rigged. Far-left prosecutors, magistrates, judges, and juries unhesitatingly shield their violent activists and gleefully imprison their political opponents. Unrigging the system is necessary for the survival of the Republic.” –Stephen Miller
- “The Democrats are the party of lawlessness, of cultural decay, social disorder, and death. It’s time for Christian boldness – for courage and clarity about Jesus and sin. And it’s time for our governing officials to fulfill their mandate and become a terror to evil conduct. They do not bear the sword in vain. That’s what our nation needs.” –Joe Rigney
- “In Caracas, with Cuban help, they [Venezuela] created lots of tools to steal elections… I think this was one of the big things on Trump’s mind when he started thinking about what we do with Venezuela… They created software to rig and steal elections in Latin America and here in the United States, and the Trump Administration knows about it.” –Alex Newman
- “The individual’s responsibility is to live like Charlie [Kirk]… He really is an example of the sort of hero anyone can be… So much of what made him good was the sort of thing anyone can do. You can cultivate discipline. You can cultivate virtue. You can cultivate agency… If you follow the way he lived his life… I think you will be able to bring about that America that he wanted us to have.” –Blake Neff
- “Do your duty and leave the rest to Providence.” –Stonewall Jackson
- “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” –Ecclesiastes 12:14
FAITH, FAMILY & FREEDOM REPORT
1. 10,000 FRENCH MARCH FOR LIFE: Around 10,000 French citizens gathered in Paris to protest the government’s murderous policies against both the unborn and the elderly. Spokeswoman Marie-Lys Pellissier exclaimed, “Going out into the street seems essential to us. It is the only moment in the year when we can publicly express our opposition to abortion and euthanasia and propose concrete solutions. The rest of the time, the media never give us the floor.”
2. VANCE FAMILY EXPECTING FOURTH CHILD: Second Lady Usha Vance and Vice President JD Vance announced that they are expecting their fourth baby, a boy, due in late July.

And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world, and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are, here at the March for Life.”
3. U.S. EXITS WHO: The United States has officially pulled out of the World Health Organization, a major blow to the globalist agenda. University of Minnesota’s Stephanie Soucheray detailed, “The United States is the only country to have withdrawn from the WHO since its founding [in] 1948. During his inauguration last year, President Donald Trump said the WHO had gouged the United States, and he blamed the agency for covering up China’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic.”
4. UK RULES IN FAVOR OF WOMEN: A UK Court ruled that men are not allowed in women’s spaces, ruling against Darlington Memorial Hospital, which had discriminated against female nurses by allowing men into their changing rooms. Andrea Williams of the Christian Legal Centre declared, “The [National Health System] and the government should now give up their sabotage of clear judicial decisions and abide by the law which acknowledges that men are men and women are women.”
5. HOCKEY PLAYERS STAND AGAINST LGBTQ AGENDA: Six players on the Washington Capitals’ hockey team, including all-time great Alex Ovechkin, refused to display LGBTQ tape on their hockey sticks. The team had specifically set the night aside to celebrate the perverse agenda. Other hockey players have stood up against the LGBTQ agenda before. San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer has said, “I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions.”
6. MUSK FUNDS TEXAS DOCTOR’S LAWSUIT: Elon Musk is funding the lawsuit of Dr. Eithan Haim, a Texas doctor who was fired and prosecuted for refusing to bow to the transgender ideology being forced on children. Haim stressed that the “only way I was able to fight back against an unjust prosecution was to tell the truth. And the only way for people to see the truth was because of X.”
7. CHD BRINGS SUIT AGAINST AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS: Children’s Health Defense is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics, alleging the Academy lied about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule. According to CHD CEO Mary Holland, “For too long, the AAP has been held up on a pedestal, as if it were a font of science and integrity. Sadly, that’s not the case. It’s time to face facts and see what the AAP is really about.”
8. CANADIAN YOUTH MOVING CONSERVATIVE: A new poll found that 50% of Canadians ages 18-29 say they would vote for the Conservative party, while only 27% would vote Liberal. David Coletto of Abacus Data stated, “Just 11% believe the world is headed in the right direction, and only 12% say the same about the United States.”
9. BILL INTRODUCED TO HELP HOMESCHOOLERS: Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) introduced the Home School Graduation Recognition Act, a bill that would end any discrimination by colleges against homeschool graduates. Harris expounded, “No student should ever face discrimination or disadvantage during the college admissions process simply because they were homeschooled. Yet, many universities still treat homeschoolers as second-class applicants by requiring excessive documentation and additional testing.”
10. FETTERMAN STANDS WITH ICE: Democrat Senator John Fetterman (PA) called on his party to stop fighting against ICE. Fetterman wrote, “The party must resist the destructive tendencies to push extreme positions. Secure the border. Deport all the criminals…”
11. NEW STUDY HIGHLIGHTS BENEFITS OF LESS INTERNET: A new study found that removing internet access from smartphones led to better health and well-being. Nicolas Hulscher of Focal Points summarized, “Researchers effectively turned smartphones into ‘dumb phones,’ and the results were striking: improved sustained attention, improved mental health, and higher subjective well-being.”
12. BRITISH HOSPITAL DROPS CASE AGAINST CHRISTIAN NURSE: The St. Helier Hospital dropped its case against nurse Jennifer Melle, who had refused to refer to a biological male by his preferred pronoun. Melle responded, “This has been an incredibly long and painful journey. I want to give thanks, first and foremost, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has sustained me every step of the way.”
13. CHRISTIANS PRAY FOR PERSECUTED BRETHREN: Chinese Christians in the US gathered to pray for their persecuted brothers and sisters back in China. Brother Wang Ge explained, “The most insidious aspect of persecution isn’t a single ‘disruption,’ but the gradual fragmentation of people’s lives – leaving them exhausted, scattered, doubting, and retreating – forcing faith to slowly withdraw from public expression until it can only be ‘hidden in the heart.’”
14. LOST NEW ZEALANDER FOUND: 66-year-old New Zealander Graham Garnett was found after being lost in the wild for 17 days. Per the West Coast Police, “On Thursday, 15 January, the search team made the difficult decision to call off the search but remained ready to respond if new information came to light. Today, at about 2.30 pm, Graham was discovered. This is an amazing result. We are so pleased for Graham and his loved ones.”

I can’t thank Coach Cignetti enough…for taking a chance on me. I just give all the glory to God.”
HYMN OF THE WEEK
Be Still by William Ebel
Oh, be still, thou soul of mine,
Thou art not forsaken!
Though the pow’rs of sin may rage,
Thou shalt be unshaken.
He who gave His life for thee,
Thus permits that thou should be—
For thy good, as thou shalt see
Tempted for a season.
Be courageous, firm, and true,
When life’s battle’s waging!
Oh, be still, my soul, and rest,
When the tempest’s raging.
He who doth our sorrows share,
In His love and tender care
Trials more than thou can bear
Will not let thee suffer.
Why should thou so fearful be,
At the tempter’s roaring?
Simply trust in God alone,
Satan’s wrath ignoring.
See God’s tenderness, and prove
With the sainted hosts above,
His unfailing, wondrous love,
Ever for thee caring.
Yes, dear Lord, I will be still,
I will trust Thee ever!
I’ll submit to all Thy will,
Cling to Thee forever.
Lord, Thou knowest what is best,
Confident in this I’ll rest,
Till I dwell with all the blest,
And with Thee in heaven.
