Dear Friends,
Hudson Taylor said, “I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient.”
1. BIDEN’S MILITANT, TREASONOUS STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH: Tucker Carlson called Joe Biden’s State of the Union Speech “possibly the darkest, most un-American speech ever given by an American president” and “a rant entirely lacking in decency or generosity to his fellow Americans.” Even Fox News suggested that Biden was given drugs before the speech, reporting, “Jacked up Joe not his normal self tonight.”
Biden mispronounced the name of 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was murdered by an illegal, called on “women” to restore Roe v. Wade, and issued a series of false claims, including the following:
- “The State of our Union is strong and getting stronger! When Americans get knocked down, we get back up! We keep going! It’s because of you America is coming back! It’s because of you, our future is brighter!”
- “I inherited an economy that was on the brink. Now our economy is the envy of the world!”
- “Insurrectionists stormed this very Capitol and placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy.”
- “It is we who face an unprecedented moment in the history of the Union. What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack, both at home and overseas, at the very same time.”
Charlie Kirk tweeted, “That was the most one-sided, partisan, militant, and least conciliatory State of the Union speech in living memory. These people don’t see you as fellow citizens, but as an enemy that must be defeated and subdued by any means necessary. They hate you.”

2. TRUMP AND BIDEN SWEEP SUPER TUESDAY: After overwhelmingly winning 14 of 15 states on Super Tuesday, Donald Trump now holds 1,062 delegates, about 150 shy of the needed 1,215 to clinch the nomination.
Nikki Haley, who narrowly carried the state of Vermont and won Washington, D.C.’s primary the previous week, dropped out of the race while refusing to endorse Trump. Her campaign spent over $114 million. Incredibly, 92% of Haley’s voters in Virginia (many of them likely Democrats) approved of Joe Biden’s job performance, while 87% were satisfied with the direction America is going.
Joe Biden swept all 15 states but lost the Democratic caucuses in American Samoa to entrepreneur Jason Palmer. Sizable Democratic blocs voted “uncommitted,” including 19% in Minnesota, home to many Muslims. Challenger Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) dropped out and endorsed Biden.
YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp all experienced massive “outages” on Super Tuesday, with one observer asking if it was a “practice run for November?”
Historian and professor Victor Davis Hanson predicted that it is not a question of “If, But When and How” Democrats will replace Biden. Hanson also estimated that Donald Trump would have to win the popular vote by 3-4 points, something no Republican has done since 1988, in order to overcome Democratic election rigging in swing states.
3. SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY STRIKES DOWN STATE ATTEMPTS TO BAN TRUMP FROM THE BALLOT: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against Colorado’s attempt to remove Donald Trump from the ballot. Legal analysts Hans von Spakovsky and Cully Stimson wrote, “By doing so, the U.S. Supreme Court halted the Colorado Supreme Court’s unconstitutional disenfranchisement of 4.5 million registered voters in Colorado, restoring their right to make their own decision on who should be president. The Colorado court claimed that because Trump was guilty of ‘insurrection,’ it could remove him from the ballot under Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.”
Leftists experienced a collective meltdown, with former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann writing, “The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy…collectively, the ‘court’ has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate. It must be dissolved.” New York Times columnist and former “conservative” David French claimed, “The Supreme Court Just Erased Part of the Constitution.” In response, House Democrats refused to commit to certifying a Trump victory, while radical Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MA) promised to introduce legislation to block Trump from the ballot.
In other lawfare news, the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on Donald Trump’s January 6 presidential immunity case on April 25.
4. GARLAND ATTACKS VOTER ID, AS DEMOCRATS RIG 2024 ELECTION: Attorney General Merrick Garland joined Vice President Kamala Harris to attack election integrity at Selma Alabama’s Tabernacle Baptist Church. Garland called voter ID laws and restrictions on ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary” and a ploy to “disadvantage minorities.”
A 2021 Rasmussen poll found that 75 percent of Americans – including 60 percent of Democrats – support voter ID laws. A December 2023 Heartland/Rasmussen poll found that almost 20% of Americans admitted to engaging in some form of fraud in the 2020 election.
The Federalist’s Sean Fleetwood detailed nine taxpayer-funded government agencies Joe Biden is using to help “rig” the 2024 election and get out the vote for Democrats, under his 2021 Executive Order 14019.
Tucker Carlson recently stated, “Joe Biden can’t win. In a fair election, Joe Biden will lose in November…They’re going to steal the election. And we know they’re going to steal the election because they’re now saying so out loud.”
5. FRANCE BECOMES FIRST COUNTRY TO CODIFY ABORTION AS CONSTITUTIONAL “RIGHT”: With a 780 to 72 National Assembly vote, France, which legalized killing the unborn in 1975, became the first country to enshrine abortion as a “guaranteed freedom” in its constitution. The vote was supported by 66% of the French and fulfilled a pledge from President Emmanuel Macron following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the United States in 2022.
Hundreds of feminist activists celebrated in an “explosion of joy,” and the Eiffel Tower was emblazoned with the words, “My body, my choice.” Prime Minister Gabriel Attal declared, “We’re sending a message to all women: your body belongs to you, and no one can decide for you.”
The Heritage Foundation’s Melanie Israel lamented, “Now that France has enshrined abortion as a fundamental constitutional right, we can expect to see similar efforts in other countries. Right now, 47 out of 50 European countries allow abortion up to about 15 weeks. This is far from the permissive abortion free-for-all in America under the former Roe regime – a free-for-all still allowed in many liberal states even with Roe overturned. When given an inch, pro-abortion agitators will try to take a mile. There’s something sadly poignant that France, of all countries, is leading the race to the bottom when it comes to abortion. It was French scientists – and the French government – who strong-armed the chemical abortion pill onto the market in the 1980s. Since then, the abortion pill has hurt countless women, girls, and, of course, unborn children.”
Ed. Note: Proverbs 6 states, “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood…”
6. WARMONGER VICTORIA NULAND STEPS DOWN: The State Department announced the departure of its third-highest ranking diplomat, Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland. Nuland shaped foreign policy during the Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations. Her accomplishments include promoting Bush’s war in Iraq, expanding the war in Afghanistan, fomenting the 2014 “Maidan” coup/uprising in Ukraine, threatening the sabotage of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline before it occurred, and disrupting Ukraine-Russia peace talks.
Journalist Jordan Schachtel summarized Nuland’s legacy in an article titled, “The Real Victoria Nuland: U.S. Foreign Policy Official Retires after Decades of Fomenting Conflict and Destruction.” Schachtel concluded, “Since the 1990s, Nuland has acted to wreak maximum amounts of havoc from within the power centers of the American government, and that’s why the men and women of institutional Washington hold her in such high regard. Only in D.C. would such a wicked ‘public servant’ be celebrated.”
Ed. Note: When asked by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) in 2022 about Ukrainian chemical or biological weapons, Nuland responded, “Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops…may be seeking to gain control of. So, we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.”
7. GLOBALIST IDEOLOGY BEHIND THE WAR ON FOOD AND FARMERS: In a recent speech, Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek explained how “unelected globalists” are using “reducing nitrogen emissions” to shut down farmers and force people to eat insects and fake meat. Vlaardingerbroek stated, “The people behind this want to establish a one world government, a ‘New World Order,’ in which they decide what we eat, when we eat, where we travel, when we travel, who we meet, and what we are allowed to spend our money on. Basically, control over every single aspect of our lives.”
Vlaardingerbroek observed, “They don’t want us to eat foods that make us strong. They want us to eat synthetic meat created by Bill Gates. They want us to eat bugs, they want us to drink soy milk, so that we become weak and obedient, and we do as they say.”
8. LEAKED MESSAGES REVEAL MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT KNOWS TRANS SURGERIES CAUSE DAMAGE, DEATH: The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the leading transgender activist organization relied on by the American Medical Association, the Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and thousands of doctors worldwide, has twisted science and medicine to promote its perverse agenda, according to leaked files released by Environmental Progress and journalist Michael Shellenberger.
Shellenberger wrote, “The WPATH Files show that what is called ‘gender medicine’ is neither science nor medicine…Activist members of WPATH know that the so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ they provide can result in life-long complications and sterility and that their patients do not understand the implications…These leaked files show overwhelming evidence that the professionals within WPATH know that they are not getting consent from children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults, or their caregivers.” Shellenerger noted, “The injuries described in the WPATH Files include sterilization, loss of sexual function, liver tumors, and death…It will go down as one of the worst medical scandals in history.”
Jason Weida, secretary of Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration, the state agency that blocked Medicaid from funding experimental transgender surgeries in Florida in 2022, responded, “At the direction of Gov. [Ron] DeSantis, the state of Florida is working to do everything possible to protect children from the mutilation pushed by radical gender ideology and the groups that ascribe to it. Revelations like this confirm how harmful these procedures are.”
9. REPUBLICANS SURRENDER IN LATEST SPENDING BILL: On Wednesday, the U.S. House voted to pass the first part of a $1.65 trillion omnibus continuing resolution (CR) spending bill. Rep. Andrew Clyde, who was one of only 85 to vote no, detailed a long list of surrendered items in the bill, including the following:
- Surrendered: My amendment to defund the prosecution of a presidential candidate before the 2024 election.
- Surrendered: Blocking funds from being used to provide legal representation to illegal aliens.
- Surrendered: Prohibiting funds from being used to enforce COVID-19 vaccine passports.
- Surrendered: Prohibiting funds from being used by the U.S. Census Bureau to include illegal aliens in apportionment determinations in future censuses.
- Surrendered: Defunding woke DEI offices and initiatives.
- Surrendered: Prohibiting funds from being used to cancel or suspend ANWR oil and gas leases in Alaska.
- Surrendered: Defunding sanctuary cities.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) warned that the bill contained $15 million to implement “electronic tracking of all cattle in the U.S.” Conservatives pointed out that “every single piece of legislation” passed by Speaker Johnson has had more Democrat than Republican votes and that every single one has been brought up “under suspension to bypass the Rules Committee and amendment process.”
10. IMMIGRATION INVASION UPDATE: Zero Hedge reported, “A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has revealed that the Biden administration has flown at least 320,000 migrants into the United States in an effort to reduce the number of crossings at the southern border, according to Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.”
Colonel Douglas Macgregor warned that elites want to recruit criminal illegals as soldiers and turn them against the American people. Former Trump DHS senior official Ken Cuccinelli declared, “Every town is a border town now thanks to Joe Biden.”
In her column, “Stop Weaseling. Shut Down the Government on March 8,” journalist Elizabeth Nickson documented why the immigration crisis is much worse than many understand.
Ed. Note: Elon Musk observed, “Most Americans are still unaware that the census counts ALL people, including illegal immigrants, for deciding how many House seats each state gets! This results in Dem states getting roughly 20 more House seats, which is another strong incentive for them not to deport illegals.”
11. ECONOMIC NEWS: The New York Times reported that Egyptians are buying and selling gold in response to runaway inflation. A recent Bankrate survey found that 51% of aspiring homeowners believe the cost of living is too high, while 54% say their income cannot cover closing costs and a down payment.
Michael Hartnett, Bank of America’s chief strategist, observed, “The U.S. national debt is rising by $1 trillion every 100 days.” Ron Paul explained, “The continuing erosion of the dollar’s value makes it impossible for many Americans to accumulate meaningful savings…Congress could help protect Americans from the inflation tax by forbidding the Federal Reserve from purchasing government debt instruments such as Treasury securities. However, since this would end Congress’s ability to run up huge deficits, thus forcing it to pare back the welfare-warfare state, it is unlikely such legislation would pass.”
12. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:
- The Defender reports, “Nine new members named to the committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on vaccine recommendations have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies or have worked with public health agencies to promote the COVID-19, RSV or HPV vaccines.”
- Human Events reports, “Frankfurt is set to be the first German city to display Ramadan decorations and lights to fight ‘anti-Muslim racism’ that will reportedly cost taxpayers between 50,000 and 100,000 euros.”
- Researchers from the University of California-San Diego warn that sedentary behavior can be deadly and reported that older women who sat for 11.7 hours or more daily increased their risk of death by 30%, even with vigorous exercise.
- The CDC urged Americans 65 and older to get the ninth dose of the COVID mRNA “vaccine” for “added protection,” while CDC director Mandy Cohen encouraged Americans to plan ahead for shot #10 this fall. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded, “Because the first nine shots didn’t protect you.”
- The Biden administration air-dropped around 38,000 meals to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. The Gateway Pundit reacted, “As tragic as it might seem for so-called innocent civilians to be caught in the crossfire, this is a choice they made electorally and that Hamas has made for them. There’s nothing to indicate they wouldn’t make a choice to support extremism again.”
- The Epoch Times reports, “After a pause, January 6 arrests are now sharply increasing. The FBI is making arrests, and the DOJ is filing charges at the quickest pace in three years, pushing the expected total up to 2,150 arrests by 2026…In the past two months, 93 people have been arrested and charged, according to Department of Justice (DOJ) reports.
13. NOTEWORTHY QUOTES:
- “When you put a death culture under the microscope, you find a poisoned society. We have an entire society with too much aluminum in their brains. We have an entire society with hundreds of toxic pesticides in their bodies. We have an entire society that is being bombarded daily with EMF/RFR. And now we have an entire society producing mRNA spike proteins.” –Dr. Toby Rogers.
- “The danger posed by this increasing ability of governments and large corporations to collude threatens everyone’s freedom equally…If the emerging collusion…continues…there won’t be anything that you do that can’t be used against you and will be used against you in very short order.” –Dr. Jordan Peterson to the House Government Weaponization Subcommittee
- “Throughout history, a basic truism has been evident: Dependency upon government is a disease. Once it has been caught, it becomes chronic and does not reverse itself in a population until the system collapses under its own weight.” –Jeff Thomas
- “What our generation has forgotten is that the system of private property is the most important guarantee of freedom, not only for those who own property, but…for those who do not. It is only because the control of the means of production is divided among many people acting independently that nobody has complete power over us, that we as individuals can decide what to do with ourselves.” –Friedrich August von Hayek
- “History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.” –Douglas MacArthur
FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT
1. MIDLOTHIAN, TEXAS, BECOMES SANCTUARY CITY FOR UNBORN: The city council of Midlothian, Texas, voted 5-2 to become the 68th Sanctuary City for the unborn in the nation.

I believe in affirming life and protecting the health and well-being of our current and future citizens…”
2. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA FIRES ALL DEI PERSONNEL: The University of Florida fired all of its DEI staff a week after the Florida Board of Governors ended all funding for DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in public universities. An email to employees stated, “The Office of the Chief Financial Officer will reallocate the approximately $5 million in [DEI] funds into a faculty recruitment fund to be administered by the Office of the Provost.” Activist Christopher Rufo stated, “The conservative counter-revolution has begun.”
3. EL SALVADOR PRESIDENT WANTS “GOD IN THE SCHOOLS”: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele spoke with Catalina Stubbe of Moms for Liberty, stating that things contrary to God in the schools “must be eradicated. It is a plan to destroy the future generation.” Bukele said it was “important to be informed and have a voice and vote in what your children will learn.”
4. JAVIER MILEI BANS LGBTQ LANGUAGE IN GOVERNMENT: Argentine President Javier Milei banned the use of pro-LGBTQ “inclusive language” in the government, a ban previously applied only to the military. Life Site News reported, “The Royal Spanish Academy sets the universal standardization of the Spanish language. In the past, the organization’s president has deemed ‘inclusive language,’ which is supported by the United Nations, to be a grammatical disfiguration and therefore unfit for use.”
5. POLISH FARMERS CONTINUE PROTESTS: Thousands of farmers marched in Warsaw, continuing their protests of the EU’s Green Deal regulations. Farmer Kamil Wojciechowski related, “We are protesting because we want the ‘green deal’ to be lifted, as it will lead our farms to bankruptcy with its costs…that are not comparable to what we harvest and to what we are paid.”
6. MIKE JOHNSON TO RELEASE MORE J6 FOOTAGE: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced he was releasing 5,000 more hours of J6 footage, following up on his promise to release all footage to the public. Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, stated, “I appreciate Speaker Johnson’s continued support of our efforts and his resolute commitment to full transparency for the American people…[The footage] will be made available to the American public within the next few months, without blurring or editing.”
7. D.C. COURT OF APPEALS RULES IN J6 CASE: The Washington DC Court of Appeals ruled that protestors on J6 had not obstructed the “administration of justice.” The Justice Department had asked for longer sentences for January 6 political prisoners, claiming they had interfered with the “administration of justice,” but the panel of judges ruled against such a move. Politico reported, “The decision could force district court judges in Washington, D.C. to recalculate, and perhaps reduce, the sentences of more than 100 Jan. 6 rioters.”
8. CONSERVATIVES WIN BIG IN TEXAS: Texas conservatives won a string of victories on Super Tuesday, beating out their RINO opponents. House speaker Dade Phelan was forced into a runoff, and three candidates backed by AG Ken Paxton won seats in the Criminal Court of Appeals. “Tonight, Texans have spoken loud and clear,” Paxton said.
9. BABY SAVED AT ALABAMA SAFE HAVEN BABY BOX: A baby was rescued at the Safe Haven Baby Box in Madison, Alabama, the second child since the box was installed in January. Lee Marshall, CEO and Founder of Kids to Love, stated, “This mother made a difficult and courageous decision when she placed her child in Madison’s Safe Haven Baby Box. We are thankful it was there for her when she needed it.”
10. COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA LAW BANNING GENDER MUTILATION FOR MINORS: The U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a preliminary injunction brought against an Indiana law banning gender “transition” procedures for minors. State Republicans explained, “Given the irreversibility and unproven science surrounding these treatments, it is appropriate to address this issue at the state level…The mental and emotional effects of undergoing these procedures are still being studied.”
11. DESANTIS SIGNS BILL FOR RELEASE OF EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS: Florida Governor Ron Desantis signed the Disclosure of Grand Jury Testimony, a bill that will release more information on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The Florida House and Senate passed the bill unanimously. Desantis stated, “There needs to be a mechanism in some of these rare circumstances where people can get the truth.”
12. GHANA AND UGANDA OPPOSE HOMOSEXUALITY: The African country of Ghana passed a law opposing homosexuality, following a similar law passed by Uganda last year. Life Site News reported that the bill proposes “criminal penalties for those who engage in homosexual acts or promote such acts. This includes an outright ban on same-sex ‘marriage,’ same-sex adoption, and other public displays of homosexual or transgender behavior.”
13. DANIELLE SMITH PROTECTS ALBERTA FARMLAND: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced her administration would be defending the province’s farmland from PM Justin Trudeau’s “net zero” policies. Smith stated, “We will prioritize our agricultural lands…We will establish buffer zones of a minimum of 35km around protected areas and other pristine viewscapes…New wind projects will no longer be permitted within those buffer zones…”
14. PASTOR STARTS PROJECT TO TAKE WOKISM OUT OF CHURCHES: Pastor Lucas Miles launched the American Pastor Project, an effort to take wokism out of the pulpit. Five hundred pastors have signed the statement to protect their flocks from “the deceptions of false teaching and anti-Christ agendas, including Marxism, socialism, CRT, universalism, critical queer theory, the slaughter of children (both in and out of the womb), climate alarmist theory, and globalism.” Miles stated, “We’re fighting over ‘once saved, always saved,’ versus ‘lose your salvation,’ and meanwhile, the progressive Left is rolling a whole ‘nother Jesus in for people to bow down to.”
15. AMERICAN RENEWAL PROJECT ENCOURAGES CHURCHES TO GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS: David Lane, founder of the American Renewal Project, explained why Christians and churches need to be involved in politics, saying, “Somebody’s values are going to reign supreme…The other side puts their people in, and passes their legislation, and codifies in the law their godless values. That’s what’s happened to America over the last century…We [are] to be involved in the rough-and-tumble of the public square, and that’s what we’re up to.”
16. FRANKLIN GRAHAM HOSTS “FRONTERA” TOUR: Evangelist Franklin Graham announced his “Frontera” tour of the southern border to preach the gospel. Graham said, “I’m not going to the border because it’s an election year. There are lots of hungry hearts and hurting people, so I’m going to the border to tell them about God’s son, Jesus Christ, and how He can make a difference in our lives.”
HYMN OF THE WEEK
For Me All Is Well by Mrs. T. Wheeler
No sigh nor a tear since my Jesus is here,
In His presence securely I dwell!
I hear His sweet voice, and it makes me rejoice:
I know that for me all is well.
’Tis well with my soul since the Lord made me whole,
And His smiles all my sorrows dispel.
On His bosom I rest, in His love I am blest;
I know that for me all is well!
I sit at His feet, and my joy is complete!
He gives me this message to tell!
Oh, lean on His arm, He will save from all harm,
And fit you in heaven to dwell.
Oh, yield to Him now, and in lowliness bow,
And drink from this life-giving well!
The taste is so sweet, and the joy so complete,
Its pleasure we never can tell.
And when by and by He descends from on high,
He will take us to heaven to dwell!
We’ll sing this glad song as we journey along,
I know that for me all is well!
’Tis well with my soul since the Lord made me whole,
And His smiles all my sorrows dispel.
On His bosom I rest, in His love I am blest;
I know that for me all is well!
