Fox News: Richard Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence under President Trump, said in an interview with CPAC that he believes Susan Rice has assumed the role of a “shadow president.”
Rice, who served as national security adviser under President Obama, was tapped last December by President Biden to take charge of the White House Domestic Policy Council. It is in that role that Grenell believes she is exerting her influence.

Zero Hedge: In a stunning reversal to the official narrative in which the good guys lost and those evil “Russian” hackers ended up with nothing, Bloomberg reports that Colonial paid the DarkSide hackers approximately $5 million in cryptocurrency (which Bloomberg now calls “untraceable” when in its every other hit piece crypto is supposedly completely “traceable”) within hours of the attack last Friday, contradicting a WaPo report it had no plans to pay the ransom to unlock its paralyzed pipeline system.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10
Or what a difference one day makes: here is WaPo reporting, citing its usual unnamed disinformation sources “familiar with the matter”:
Daily Wire: Multiple officials with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a designated terrorist organization, have said in recent days that the rockets and weapons that they use to attack Israel come from Iran.
“Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets.” Ezekiel 38:5 NIV
The remarks were revealed by various watchdogs who monitor foreign media for the purpose of tracking extremists, and come as Palestinian terrorists have fired well over a thousands rockets at Israel this week.
“Yesterday and today, the IDF attacked hundreds of Hamas & Islamic Jihad terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. We have eliminated dozens of terrorists, including senior commanders,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday. “Hamas and Islamic Jihad have paid — I tell you here — will pay a very heavy price for their aggression. I say here this evening — their blood in on their heads.” Read More
The New American: The Biden Regime has not, as breathlessly reported, resumed construction of the border wall in the Rio Grande Valley, which would have been a major reversal of President Joe Biden’s policy of open borders.
Instead, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is repairing a levee and flood barrier system on the Rio Grande that President Trump’s wall construction had altered. The Department of Homeland Security announced the work last month, and clearly stated that wall construction would not resume.
The news means that President Biden and his leftist myrmidons will permit the illegal-alien invasion of the United States to continue. Read More
JPost: Defense Minister Benny Gantz ordered the emergency call-up of 10 companies of Border Police and for them to deploy throughout the country in an attempt to curb the Arab-Jewish violence and riots that has marred Israel’s streets in recent days.
“For violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you and you shall be cut off forever” Obadiah 1:10
Some 374 people were arrested throughout Israel following intense Jewish-Arab violence and riots that erupted across the country on Wednesday, amid the ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
A Jewish citizen in his 30s was in critical condition after he was attacked by a mob of Arab demonstrators near Egged Square in the city of Acre. Police said he was attacked in his car by Arab Israeli protesters armed with sticks and stones.
On Thursday morning, two police cars were set on fire in the Israeli-Arab town of Kafr Kassem. In Acre, a hotel was set on fire, which spread to a nearby building. In Lod, where these riots began, a Jewish man was reportedly stabbed by an Arab Muslim near a mosque.
Breitbart: New York City mayoral candidate and former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang backtracked Wednesday after he tweeted earlier in the week to support Israel as it continues to be bombarded by rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists.
“Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.” Psalm 41:9
As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Yang took a traditionally pro-Israel and anti-terror view, as the aspirant mayor of a city with a large, deeply-rooted Jewish community and direct, painful experience with radical Islamic terror attacks.
“I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere,” he tweeted Monday.
But “progressive” Democrats attacked Yang, calling him. “white supremacist” and urging New Yorkers to oppose him. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) even encouraged Muslims not to host him at communal religious celebrations.
On Wednesday, in the face of criticism from anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian activists in his own party, Yang backed down:Read More
Breitbart: Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted during a press briefing on the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack Tuesday the best way to transport fuel across parts of the country is pipelines, despite the fact that the Biden administration has revoked pipeline permits, including Keystone XL.
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Proverbs 29:2
Amid the ongoing fuel shortage throughout the East Coast from the cyberattack, Granholm said “pipe is the best way to go” when transporting fuel, contradicting President Joe Biden’s first day in office on which he revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
“What is the feasibility of using rail cars to transport fuel into the affected areas?” a reporter asked, adding, “I know that’s being looked at.”
Granholm admitted, “pipe is the best way to go,” but “we’ll have to wait until their analysis is done” from the Department of Transportation (DOT), which is looking into other options. Read More
“therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.” Ezekiel 35:6
JNS: The Israeli military announced on Wednesday that a number of top Hamas commanders had been killed in a “complex” operation in the Gaza Strip.
The commanders, who the Israeli military said was “close to” the terror group’s military chief, Muhammad Deif, were killed simultaneously in Gaza City and Khan Yunis in what the army said in a statement was a “first of its kind” joint operation of the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet.
Terrorist groups in Gaza have launched hundreds of rockets at central and southern Israel since Monday, killing several Israelis and wounding dozens more. In response to the ongoing attacks, which have been accompanied by violent rioting inside Israel, the IDF has struck hundreds of targets in the Gaza Strip. Read More
JNS: After one of the calmest extended periods in decades in the Middle East—and in Israel, in particular—the tide has suddenly turned, reverting to classic political mistakes that have all but erased the positive gains.
The last four years had been a relative period of quiet in Israel. Straightforward policies from the Trump administration were clear: Israel was a source of peace and the strong horse to bet on when it comes to regional stability. Palestinians, on the other hand, were continuing to incite their population to violence in public speeches, on television, in textbooks and on social media. Worse, the Palestinian Authority itself was continuing to pay monthly “pay for slay” stipends to terrorists sitting in Israeli jails and the families of so-called martyrs killed in the act of committing acts of terror against Israelis.
Lees that 4 months after Donald Trump left office Jerusalem is on fire, Iran is in the drivers seat on a new nuclear deal, Hamas, al Qaeda and ISIS are coming out of the woodwork, and the progressive press and big tech ‘masters of the universe’ are using the tired old ‘moral equivalence’ to blame Israel for using too much force.
It’s like Trump never happened and Obama/Biden are still in charge. So is this it? Is it time for the prophetic wars to commence?
Here is this morning’s headline from Arab News …
Fears of ‘full-scale war’ as death toll in Israel-Palestinian clashes continues to mount
At least 43 people in Gaza, including 13 children, two Palestinians in the West Bank
Five Israelis have also been killed in the ongoing conflict read more
The question is will Iran push an alliance of their Arab pawns to attack Israel as prophesied in Psalm 83:4?
“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” Psalm 83:4
Daily Wire: The governors of four states have issued state of emergency declarations as they face gas outages sparked by the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attacks.
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia have all implemented states of emergency, “allowing state governments to activate the National Guard as needed, and helps streamline cooperation between state and local officials,” according to DW.
President Joe Biden has taken heat for his slow reaction to the attack on the U.S. pipeline. Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday night, for example, blasted the president for essentially shrugging his shoulders in response.
“This pipeline actually doesn’t touch Florida, but it does feed into many of our gas stations. So we declared a state of emergency. We’re lifting restrictions to be able to get more fuel in the pumps,” DeSantis told Fox News host Sean Hannity, according to Newsweek. Read More
