There are several obvious reasons this is happening. But the one rarely mentioned mainstream is everyone knows 10/7 was a MIHOP attack, which 1000000% undermines any moral authority Israel has to do mass murder in Gaza. Kelly is no dummy and surely knows this. ABN
A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Trump Kennedy Center was canceled after the show’s woke host pulled out in protest of President Donald Trump.
Famed drummer and vibraphone player Chuck Redd has been presiding over holiday Jazz Jams at the Kennedy Center since 2006, succeeding bassist William Keter Betts.
But he canceled the annual concert, a holiday tradition dating back more than 20 years, this year after being ‘saddened’ by the performance hall’s rebrand.
‘When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,’ Redd told AP in an email Wednesday.
As of last Friday, the performance center in DC‘s façade reads The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
The Trump administration’s directive now leaves the United States without leadership in critical countries including in Rwanda, Egypt and Armenia – all countries where Washington is trying to sustain peace efforts that the president has championed.
The majority of the ambassadors removed from their position worked in 13 countries in Africa: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda.
Ambassadorial changes are also coming to six countries in Asia: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Four countries in Europe (Armenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovakia) are affected; as are two each in the Middle East (Algeria and Egypt); South and Central Asia (Nepal and Sri Lanka); and the Western Hemisphere (Guatemala and Suriname).
As the ambassadors for these posts now return home, the Trump administration is also working to nominate permanent ambassadors to key allies like Australia, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Ukraine.
Eric Rubin, a retired career diplomat and the former president of the American Foreign Service Association, which represents US diplomats, told CNN called it a ‘serious insult to the countries affected and a huge gift to China.’
The allegations against President Donald Trump made in the latest trove of Epstein files are ‘untrue and sensationalist,’ the Department of Justice has claimed.
Thousands of new files, including hundreds of videos or audio recordings, linked to Jeffrey Epstein‘s case were made public by the DOJ this morning.
Trump was named in several documents, some of which contained vile allegations that the DOJ said were probed by the FBI and determined to be ‘unfounded and false.’ The Daily Mail has approached the White House for comment.
The latest dump comes as Trump told reporters how he ‘hated’ seeing photos of Bill Clinton in the Epstein files, arguing how ‘everybody was friendly’ with Epstein before his crimes were unveiled.
Trump blasted ‘Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans’ for releasing the Epstein files, which heavily featured Clinton, and said it was ‘terrible’ seeing the former president in them.
He also acknowledged how photos of him had been included in the files, noting that there are likely ‘pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago’.
To say that I am happy with President Trump’s approach toward the use of White House emissaries to conduct official business around the capture mechanisms of the administrative state would be an understatement. I’m positively thrilled to watch this untraditional approach in action.
Are there approaches, strategies and general things I would prefer to see differently; sure, there are. However, I’m just an audience member without any need to keep gravity maintained while figuring out ways to satisfy billionaire donors, key interests and strategic partners. On this balancing act, President Trump is doing awesome work.
President Trump is ducking and weaving through some of the deepest Machiavellian constructs, while maintaining forward progress.
To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo. Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks. The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.
Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has long said publicly he does not consider America or the American people to be adversaries of Russia. Instead, Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his adversary; he is always clear to draw the distinction.
The Deep State does not like President Trump’s use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy. In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it.
That is exactly why this approach is needed, and it is very good to see it being done.
The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump. The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form. The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President. The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.
The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable.
The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President. The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told.
This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is. More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.
It is important to keep this in mind. You never get everything you want in politics, but Trump is doing more than any other president in recent history, while the odds and forces against him are powerful and many. ABN
“Don’t come to the Diet anymore!” What’s going on? Because Katsuya Okada went to meet with the International Department of the CCP. What is the International Department? Kazuhiro Haraguchi laid it bare directly: “Do you even know what the International Department is? It’s above the CCP’s Foreign Ministry—it’s the CCP’s party affairs organ!” “It’s an organization specifically for foreign work and infiltration!” “Why would you meet with an organization like that?” What’s even more outrageous? Katsuya Okada also questioned Sanae Takaichi in the Diet, demanding she provide specific evidence for “a Taiwan contingency.” Haraguchi exploded right there: “That’s enough from you! Which side are you even on?” “For diplomacy and national security, even with political rivals, we must speak with one voice externally!” “You’re actually asking for specifics on a ‘Taiwan contingency’? And asking which ‘closely related country’ we’re operating in which ‘region’ with?” “That country is obviously the United States! What are you playing dumb for!” “Japan’s national security absolutely cannot take a single step back—any further, and Japan is done for!” “At a time like this, meeting with the CCP’s united front organization—what the hell are you trying to do?” Haraguchi finally laid down the harsh words: “I’m really pissed off—parliamentarians like you, just stay away!” “The Japanese political world has already been infiltrated like a sieve!”
Paul LePage will be a tremendous Congressman for the amazing people of Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, just as he was as your Governor!
A proven America First Fighter, Paul has been with us from the very beginning, helping us, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! In Congress, he will work hard to Grow our Economy, Strongly Advocate for Maine’s Great Lobstermen, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Safeguard our Elections, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
Paul will most likely be running against a Radical Left Democrat named Matt Dunlap, who loves High Taxes, High Interest Rates, Expensive and Unreliable Electricity, Open Borders, and Transgender for Everybody, among other CRAZY ideas, but the good news is that Paul LePage is a WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!
The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.
NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.
Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.
When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return.
NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR.
NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.
Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth.
NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain.
The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.
The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:
This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California.
As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:
Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California
Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate
Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills
David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel
For the purposes of my threads, I think that’s enough intro. If you want to go down the NAP rabbit hole, and trust me, it’s DEEP, here are a few intro links with lots of additional links of their own:
The clip features Michael Evans, CEO of Friends of Zion, announcing a partnership with Blackboard to train 100,000 evangelical Christians as pro-Israel ambassadors in their home countries, aimed at defending Israel’s image and fighting antisemitism, which the author labels “disgusting” to critique Christian Zionism.
This initiative builds on evangelical theology viewing Israel as central to biblical prophecy, with FOZ leveraging edtech for scalable online courses; similar programs have trained thousands since 2018, per FOZ reports.
The video highlights a real December 2025 event where over 1,000 U.S. evangelical pastors and influencers visited Israel for a weeklong solidarity mission, the largest since 1948, aimed at combating antisemitism through pro-Israel advocacy in churches and media.
Attached video footage shows participants praying at the Western Wall and Temple steps, meeting rabbis, and emphasizing evangelical support for Israel as “God’s place for God’s people,” aligning with speakers like Mike Huckabee’s message that “pro-Bible is pro-Israel.”

UPDATE: This going to greatly damage Christianity if not kill it off altogether. These pastors should be required to register with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Older and less well-informed Christians may fall for this schtick but I doubt younger Americans will. ABN
In addition to setting the priorities for the United States focus, the report details the Trump administration perspective on the world as broken down into specific regions. The report is a brutally honest review of the current state of geopolitical benefits, risks and threats as they pertain to vital U.S. interests.
In addition to outlining a critically renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, the Trump administration also notes the practical position of Europe, as it pertains to NATO and dependency on the U.S.A.
In a brutally honest review of the situation, the Trump administration notes Europe is increasingly losing their own identity. The fear the Europeans express about being vulnerable to Russian strength is hypocritical, in the sense that in practical outcomes the EU is purposefully weakening itself and simultaneously demanding assistance against their own weakness.
[PAGE 25] – American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.
Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness. But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.
The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.
This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.
European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.
Managing European relations with Russia will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.
It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.
The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.
The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.
Linda Sun, 42, had convinced Hochul — who served as Cuomo’s lieutenant governor at the time — to film a Lunar New Year video touting China’s New York consulate when she made the shocking comment, according to evidence presented at the ex-Albany aide’s corruption trial.
“She is much more obedient than the governor,” the accused Beijing mole wrote to China consular official Lihua Li in a Jan. 25, 2021, message shown to jurors in Brooklyn federal court.
Linda Sun, who allegedly served as a Chinese agent, once bragged that Kathy Hochul was “much more obedient” than Andrew Cuomo.
“The deputy governor listens to me more than the governor does,” Sun wrote in another text minutes later — punctuated with a sheepish grin emoji — sent to Huang Ping, who headed the consulate office at the time.
UPDATE: In common with almost all Westerners, including many who have spent years in China, Hochul has zero understanding of China and Chinese civilization.
You can see it in her eyes and in Sun’s description of her.
In the 19th and 20th Centuries, China was forced to come to terms with the West. It took them a long time.
In a very similar manner, the West in recent decades is being forced to come to terms with China.
We are doing no better with that than China did 150 years ago.
Like them, we are reacting to a fantasy of China, an enormous illusion.
I highly recommend that Westerners understand that all cultures are susceptible to decades, if not centuries, of confusion and disorientation when dealing with foreign powers they do not understand.
All cultures, including the West.
The West is also doing a terrible job of managing our relations with Russia, Israel, India, the Muslim world and Africa.
For China, it might be a good idea to consult more closely with very intelligent and knowledgeable Japanese.
They have been dealing with China for well over 1,000 years and even still made a major blunder by invading China in 1931.
That was a disaster they are still reeling from today.
Nonetheless, Japanese know more about China than Westerners do, and they know enough about about us to be good informants, while also benefitting from a more secure USA .
For Russia, I like what Trump appears to be doing. He seems to want an alliance with Russia based on real-world economic and political ties.
For China and other regions, I highly recommend not listening too much to academics, foreign policy experts, run-of-the-mill historians or anyone who has a dog in the fight or money on the table.
Trump is much better than most at this game, and this is a major reason I support his presidency.
I doubt Vance, or anyone else in the presidential bullpen right now, has the chops to replace Trump.
I hope there is someone somewhere in power in USA who has the street-smarts to contact and learn from people who genuinely understand the civilizations around the world that we must come to grips with and relate to for our own benefit and theirs.
Fake news, fake history, fake anthropology and fake foreign policy — all have a stupid and deeply naive side as well as a nefarious one.
People like Sun exploit the nefarious side. And she is just one of millions from across the world, Somalis included.
People like Hochul are on the naive side, deer in the headlights.
She is a poster fawn for virtually all Western politicians today. ABN
