Trump ponders his chances at heaven: “I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people”
President Donald Trump spent nearly 80 minutes at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast on February 5 doing what he does best—talking about himself. But this time, the subject was his eternal soul. Standing before a crowd at the Washington Hilton hotel, Trump mused on his chances of making it through the pearly gates, declaring ironically, “I really think I probably should make it. I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.” Trump’s remarks at the nonpartisan event were characteristically bold. He boasted that he has “done more for religion than any other president,” accusing his predecessors of having “bailed out” on religion. He mocked Democrats, saying, “I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don’t.”
NFL Gives Fans ‘The Finger’ with Super Bowl Halftime Show Disgrace utm_objective=website_traffic&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=amac&utm_medium=daily_news_am&utm_content=ngf020926&dderh=e6a5796e9782b40567a7b458db6fd6f2
When the NFL selected Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, to perform on the biggest stage in American sports, it drew plenty of eye rolling from conservatives who saw it as yet another instance of cringey virtue signaling from the league. Turning Point USA even put on a rival halftime show in protest headlined by Kid Rock, which nearly six million people watched instead of staying tuned to NBC for Bad Bunny. But an estimated 125 million Americans still watched the NFL’s halftime show, and what they saw was more than just an insult and a disgrace. It was an attack on the unique American-ness of football, and by extension an assault on America itself.
Abu Dhabi: the scaffolding beneath peace—and the house nobody is building
When diplomats label a meeting “peace talks”, they usually mean negotiations over the core political questions that decide whether a war ends, on what terms, and with what risk of resumption. The current Ukraine–Russia–US meetings in Abu Dhabi do not yet meet that description. What is taking place is narrower, more cautious, and more revealing for precisely that reason. Abu Dhabi is about the plumbing beneath peace: the pipes, valves, and pressure gauges without which a ceasefire cannot function.
Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to answer questions from congressional Epstein committee
Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed associate of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, on Monday refused to testify before the US congressional committee investigating the federal government’s handling of the Epstein files, citing her fifth amendment right against self-incrimination under the constitution.
US seizes tanker in Indian Ocean
U.S. armed forces have seized a tanker in the Indian Ocean, the Pentagon says. The tanker left Venezuela in January, and was reportedly headed for China with around 700,000 barrels of crude oil. It “acted in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine for sanctioned ships in the Caribbean. It proceeded and we followed,” the Defense Headquarters wrote on X. The tanker is the eighth ship the US has seized since December, when President Trump ordered a blockade of all ships carrying oil to and from Venezuela.
Israel advances death penalty plans for Oct. 7 terrorists as nation weighs biblical command: “By man shall his blood be shed”
The Israel Prison Service has begun operational preparations to implement capital punishment for terrorists following the Knesset’s preliminary approval of new death penalty legislation. According to Channel 13 News, the preparations include establishing a dedicated execution facility—internally dubbed the “Israeli Green Mile”—designed specifically for carrying out death sentences by hanging.
UK’s Starmer refuses to heed calls to quit over fallout from Epstein scandal
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer refused on Monday to heed calls to quit, even by the leader of his party in Scotland, pledging to fight on after his appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador plunged his government into crisis. Under pressure over the appointment of a man whose close ties to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have come into full focus, Starmer has attempted to change the narrative. But a demand from Anas Sarwar, leader of the Scottish Labour Party, for him to quit and the departure of a second senior aide in as many days did little to stop the questions over his judgment and ability to govern.
Smotrich says Iranian regime must be destroyed
Iranian Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel faces an intolerable reality so long as Iran’s ruling system remains in power, describing it as a direct and ongoing existential threat “The Iranian leadership operates as a terror regime,” Smotrich said. “It speaks openly about wiping out Israel and follows through by developing both conventional and unconventional weapons while building a ring of hostile forces around us. That is a situation we cannot accept. Either they destroy us, or we bring about their downfall.”

Khamenei calls on Iranians to drive the enemy to despair
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday urged his nation to unify as the United States has been boosting its military presence in the Gulf region. “The enemy must be driven to despair. The enemy’s despair comes through [our] unity, strength of thought and determination, and steadfastness in confronting the enemy’s temptations. These are what build national power,” Khamenei tweeted.
Israel warns Iran is developing nuclear missiles to hit US, Europe
Iran’s efforts to develop long-range ballistic missiles, coupled with the regime’s aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons, reflect plans to target not only regional rivals such as Israel, an Israeli diplomat warned over the weekend, but also suggest Tehran is seeking the ability to strike Europe and the United States.
Inside the Iranian regime’s online ‘bot army’ campaign against US State Department official
The Iranian regime is waging an online disinformation campaign against the Trump administration’s most senior-ranking Persian-American official, Mora Namdar, painting her as a pro-regime stooge and opponent of the dissident movement, according to four administration sources briefed on the matter and a Washington Free Beacon review of social media posts and accounts. The operation, the sources said, is meant to sow discord within the State Department and the Iranian dissident community at a time when the hardline regime is fighting to stay in power.
Liberman: ‘Terrorist’ Mahmoud Abbas should be ‘treated accordingly’
Yisrael Beiteinu Party chief Avigdor Liberman told JNS on Monday that Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is “a terrorist like any other” and that Jerusalem should treat his organization accordingly. Liberman was responding to Ramallah’s announcement on Thursday that Abbas had received a draft P.A. constitution from a committee that was formed after France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia declared their intentions last year to recognize a Palestinian state. Abbas “advocates political terror,” the Yisrael Beiteinu leader declared, speaking with JNS at a faction meeting held at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem. “If Hamas terrorists operate through classic terror, he [Abbas] operates through political terror,” said Liberman.
After Mutilating Countless Children, Is Accountability Finally Coming For The ‘The Greatest Medical Scandal In Generations’?
For years, children have been in the crosshairs of an ideology so ferocious that its ultimate conclusion would leave young people mutilated, sterilized, and stripped of their God-given identity. This ideology was adopted by schools, the entertainment industry, progressive government leaders, and, worst of all, medical organizations—the very group whose oath is to “do no harm.” Biological gender was stripped of its meaning, and children were fed a lie which insisted that gender was a “choice.” Parents were peddled another falsehood—that the drugs to start the process of gender bending were safe and reversible, and that failing to grant consent would undoubtedly result in their child’s suicide.
Feds Have Charged 158 Anti-ICE Agitators With Federal Crimes In Minnesota
Since the start of the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota, federal prosecutors have reportedly charged 158 anti-ICE agitators with federal crimes, including “FACE Act violations, conspiracy charges, and obstruction of federal agents.” Some of the offenses carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that she “expect more arrests to come” as the Justice Department is poised to crack down on similar anti-ICE insurgencies nationwide. On Thursday, the feds also arrested Kyle Wagner, also known as “Antifa Kyle,” the cross-dressing anti-ICE domestic terrorist who threatened to assault, kill and doxx officers in Minneapolis.
The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network
The latest DOJ batch of Epstein files reveal that by the time the world encountered COVID-19, the financial, philanthropic, and institutional machinery to manage—and profit from—a pandemic was already firmly in place. While the Epstein files have reignited scrutiny around specific relationships, their deeper significance lies in how they intersect with a much longer and largely unexamined timeline. Public records, institutional initiatives, and financial instruments indicate that the conceptual foundations of pandemic preparedness as a managed financial and security category began to take shape in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as philanthropic capital, global health governance, and risk finance increasingly converged.
Who’s Next… What’s Next…?
… all the real action in the battle to save the country is out of sight, moiling and churning in the deep background. Everybody’s on edge waiting for shoes to drop, praying they don’t drop on their heads. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA; Vice-chair of the Senate Intel Committee)… frothing at the mouth over Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Senator Warner, you understand, is one of the darkest creatures slithering through the cypress knobs of the DC swamp, and his lair, the Senate Intel Committee, is a fetid backwater of seditious intrigue. The nation itself has to face some unappetizing reality. Four years were stolen from the people and political devices were aligned to destroy the nation. They almost succeeded.

Google Versus China’s Cyber Weapon
The Chinese company’s malware piggybacked on millions of software downloads by U.S. consumers to their phones, tablets, computers, TVs, and projectors. The internet bandwidth of the victims is then rented by such proxy networks to malign state actors, criminals, and others seeking to use the internet anonymously – a national security threat of the greatest magnitude. The Google takedown required a federal court order.
Chinese Take a Hammer to U.S. Dollar By Instructing Their Banks to Dial Back Their Holdings of U.S. Treasuries
For decades, US dominance has been primarily based on the dollar’s strength. Having the main reserve currency of the world has meant everyone wanted/needed our currency. Far more dollars are used outside the US than inside. Having a strong currency for an extended time has allowed us to enjoy a standard of living far beyond what we deserve. So what will happen now that the rest of the world is starting to move away from the US dollar?

The exercise provided realistic training to improve surface gunnery proficiency while reinforcing joint air-maritime integration, combat readiness, and deterrence across the region.
Report unmasks PA’s methods to continue terror stipends
The Palestinian Authority has been engaged in a years-long deception, pretending to halt its pay-for-slay program by various means in order to hoodwink international donors, according to a report released by a Jerusalem-based watchdog group on Sunday. According to PMW, the P.A. paid 23,500 terrorists a total of about $315 million in 2025.
China People’s Liberation Army’s Push for Political Loyalty May Signal Preparation for War
The People’s Liberation Army released new political regulations as leader Xi Jinping pushes for greater Party loyalty, a move that may mark a critical step in preparing the military for a potential war with the US over Taiwan. The new rules formalize how Communist Party organizations conduct elections inside the armed forces, reinforcing institutional Party control over military governance.
It Finally Happened: Digital Currency Act is Now Law in US, & It Changes Everything
Last week, the Digital Currency Modernization Act was signed into law. There were no prominent headlines, no extended parliamentary debates, and no public campaigns explaining what was being implemented. For those who’ve followed the steady erosion of financial privacy, this moment was simply confirmation that the transition had reached its next stage. For everyone else, it marked the moment when “future technology” quietly became present reality.
Connecticut launches billboard campaign to promote pro-abortion hotline
Connecticut has announced a new advertising campaign featuring billboards and web ads to promote awareness of the state’s abortion hotline to promote reproductive “access.” This week, the state announced the new ad campaign to spread the word, with Tong declaring, “Abortion is safe, legal and accessible here in Connecticut, and that’s the way it’s going to stay” – despite the grave harm it does to women and unborn children.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show ignites Trump’s fury, divides viewers
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children…,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
