President Trump nominated appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court Monday night to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, ending a days-long guessing game that began the moment Kennedy announced his retirement on June 27.

President Trump has made his pick, the Jesuit-educated Catholic Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to be the nominee for the United States Supreme Court. Democrats have already started the protests across the country. Let the games begin.

FROM FOX NEWS: A clue to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination emerged hours before the announcement when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a written opinion in which the judge sided with the majority. The D.C. court does not typically issue opinions on Mondays except in response to emergency petitions, suggesting that the case had to be disposed of before Kavanaugh was nominated for the high court.

Brett Kavanaugh, a former law clerk to Kennedy in 1993, was elevated to the powerful federal appeals court in the District of Columbia by President George W. Bush, under whom he had served as a White House lawyer and staff secretary. Kavanaugh, 53, also won the confidence of key players in the Bush circle such as strategist Karl Rove.

This, however, had risked being something of a double-edged sword for Kavanaugh in the Trump era, raising concerns among some Trump supporters that he was too much of a D.C. insider and too closely associated with the Bush circle.

The Bush connections also harmed him with Democrats at the time of his initial nomination, who delayed his confirmation. But despite the criticism, he wore his support for Bush on his sleeve. It remains to be seen if those ties will complicate his confirmation process now — both with Democrats and Trump’s base.

Trump, though, may have been swayed in part because of Kavanaugh’s record of being a reliable conservative on the court – and reining in dozens of administrative decisions of the Obama White House. There are some question marks for conservatives, particularly an ObamaCare ruling that signaled his implicit support of the law.

In a 2011 case, Kavanaugh acknowledged in his dissent that the Affordable Care Act’s “individual mandate provision” could fit “comfortably within Congress’ Taxing Clause power.” His detractors say that language helped provide the road map for the Supreme Court to uphold the mandate a year later.

However, supporters of Kavanaugh have pushed back against that argument. Justin Walker, a former Kavanaugh clerk, argued that the judge’s “hypothetical discussion” about the Taxing Clause has been misinterpreted and is actually “a road map to the conclusion reached by the dissenters—that the individual mandate is unconstitutional under the Taxing Clause.”

Further, it’s also unclear how Kavanaugh would rule on abortion, as he has never directly confronted the issue as a judge. Last year, Kavanaugh dissented from a decision allowing an illegal immigrant to receive an abortion, but pro-life conservatives have criticized him for not going far enough. Specifically, they have expressed concern about language where Kavanaugh wrote “the unlawful immigrant minor is assumed to have a right under precedent to an abortion.”

Despite potential conservative grumbling, the White House is gearing up for a combative confirmation process. The administration announced earlier Monday that former Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona would guide the nominee through the Senate confirmation process. Before retiring in 2013, Kyl was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be the first to consider the nomination. He now works for the Washington-based lobbying firm Covington & Burling. The White House hopes Kyl’s close ties to Senate Republicans will help smooth the path for Kavanaugh.

In addition, the conservative group Judicial Crisis Network will launch a $1.4 million ad buy in support of Kavanaugh, running advertisements in Alabama, Indiana, North Dakota, and West Virginia – states with Democratic senators on the fence about supporting Trump’s nominee. source

After Trying To Dismantle The United States Institute Of Peace Through DOGE, President Trump Has Now Taken It Over And Renamed It After Himself

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump’s name has been added to the sign on the United States Institute of Peace headquarters in downtown D.C., above the existing building name.

When a sitting president takes a taxpayer-funded, congressionally-chartered institution and renames it after himself, you are not witnessing humility — you are witnessing prophecy-level delusion. Yesterday, America watched as the United States Institute of Peace was rebranded the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, a move that tells you far more about the times we’re living in than it does about Donald Trump.

“I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” John 5:43 (KJB)

The man who once threatened to “obliterate” nations at the press podium now calls himself the peace president, and the world applauds as if this were a normal development. But your King James Bible has something to say about men who come in their own name, and it’s not a compliment. Trump plastering his name on the Institute of Peace is not just branding — it’s conditioning. It is preparing a lost world to accept political messiahs who promise peace while consolidating power. The Bible tells us plainly that in the last days, before the coming time of Jacob’s trouble, peace will be the marketing tool of deceivers. America is not witnessing peace; we are witnessing the illusion of peace, manufactured for public consumption while geopolitical tensions simmer and prophetic currents pull the world toward its appointed end. Is Trump the Antichrist? I really don’t know the answer to that question anymore. Do you?

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

U.S. Institute of Peace renamed for Trump after his administration dismantled the agency

FROM NBC NEWS: The State Department’s X account shared a photo of the new facade on Wednesday in a post that called Trump “the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history,“ an apparent reference to his work to end multiple conflicts around the world.

“President Trump will be remembered by history as the President of Peace. It’s time our State Department display that,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on X about the name change.

Trump participated in a signing ceremony at the newly renamed building Thursday to mark a peace agreement between the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo after meeting with them at the White House. Trump had also hosted them for a peace deal signing in June.

“Thank you for putting a certain name on that building,” Trump said at the Thursday event, noting the name-change. “I said, ‘Boy, that is beautiful.’ That blew up last night … that’s a great honor, it really is, on this building. It’s a great honor.”

The agency, which has been known as the U.S. Institute of Peace since Congress established it in 1984, has been embroiled in a legal battle over whether the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency had the power to dismantle it earlier this year. Most of the independent nonpartisan institution’s staff was let go in March. The institute’s mission has been to promote peace internationally and resolve violent conflicts. The research arm of Congress notes the agency has served “as an intermediary among foreign governments, civil society, and U.S. government officials” and “worked in conflict zones with national, regional, and community level stakeholders to connect top-down and bottom-up initiatives.”

An attorney for former leaders and staff of the institute denounced the Trump administration’s move to name the agency after the president in a statement Wednesday.

“Renaming the USIP building adds insult to injury,” said the lawyer, George Foote. “A federal judge has already ruled that the government’s armed takeover was illegal. That judgment is stayed while the government appeals, which is the only reason the government continues to control the building. The rightful owners will ultimately prevail and will restore the U.S. Institute of Peace and the building to their statutory purposes.” READ MORE

Trump Instructs Department Of War To Prepare For Invasion Of Venezuela As 11 US Warships and 15,000 Troops Have Now Been Deployed To Oil Rich Region

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

More than 11 US warships, including the country’s largest carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, are bearing down on the Caribbean amid escalating tensions between President Trump and Venezuela.

More than Saudi Arabia, more than Iran, and more than every other nation, Venezuela sits upon the largest known oil reserves that exist anywhere on this Earth. Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven crude, but under Maduro’s socialist collapse, those reserves are basically locked away. A military intervention would place that oil under a new “friendly” government — or under direct U.S. strategic influence. Washington has wanted this for decades. Every administration knew it. Trump is going to be the one to take it. Oil is energy, and energy is power. That’s the memo.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:7 (KJB)

On our Podcast today, our main story was about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and his fervent denial that he had ordered a ‘second strike’ on the ‘narcoterrorists’ gunboat. He said “As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting.” A few hours after the Podcast wrapped, President Trump issued the announcement that yes, Hegseth had absolutely ordered the second strike that brutally killed the survivors of the first strike. Can you say ‘war crime’? And before anyone can be brought to trial, Trump will have already given the order for the US military to invade Venezuela. Is Trump really so concerned about stopping the drug trade that has been going on for over a century? Nope. He wants the oil, and he’s going to invade them to get it, because that’s what the people who hit his right ear with that warning shot last summer have told him to do.

11 US warships and 15,000 troops now in Caribbean as Venezuela tensions escalate

FROM THE NEW YORK POST: A Marine Expeditionary Unit capable of an amphibious land invasion has also been deployed as part of efforts to stem the flow of drugs into the US from the socialist country.

“The military’s job is to defend the homeland,” Secretary of the Navy John Phelan told Fox News on Saturday night. “That’s exactly what we’re doing, and we’re using our best assets to defend the homeland. Drugs kill more Americans than we’ve ever lost in wars,” he said. “So I think at the end of the day, the president has correctly identified this as an attack on the country, which it is.” Venezuela’s socialist president, Nicolas Maduro, is being blamed for allowing narco vessels to set off from his country for US.

Among the 11 warships currently in the Caribbean is the USS Ford, which houses the Carrier Strike Group featuring nine carrier air wings, or more than 70 aircraft, including squadrons out of Virginia, Florida and Washington state. Other ships deployed to the region include the USS Iwo Jamia, a Wasp-class amphibious assault vehicle capable of carrying up to six Harrier II attack aircraft.

The USS Gravely and the USS Stockdale, two naval guided-missile destroyers, are currently operating in the Caribbean along with the larger guided-missile cruisers, the USS Lake Erie and the USS Gettysburg.

Up to 2,200 Marines, based out of Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Base New River in North Carolina, are also stationed in the Caribbean. In total, around 15,000 troops, including the Marines on ships and about 5,000 personnel at bases in Puerto Rico, are now in the region, the Conversation reported. Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico has been reopened as part of the buildup.

The growing firepower is part of Trump’s Operation Southern Spear, which aims, with support of the Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, to control the flow of deadly narcotics heading north to the US. It coincides with efforts to modernize US armed forces using AI, unmanned systems and hypersonic missiles, as well as a push from Trump to bring shipbuilding jobs back to America. READ MORE

‘President Of Peace’ Donald Trump Orders Airspace Around Venezuela ‘Closed In Its Entirety’ As He Says That US Land Strikes Will Begin ‘Very Soon’

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump has declared Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” after he vowed US land strikes will start “very soon”.

When President Donald Trump announces that Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” and that U.S. land strikes will start “very soon,” you are watching prophecy, geopolitics, and the spirit of the age collide right in front of your eyes. This is no mere ‘diplomatic spat’. This is a global realignment, a chessboard in motion, and a sobering reminder that the times we are living in are not just politically unstable — they are biblically charged.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

While Venezuela itself is not listed in the lineup of Ezekiel 39 nations, its patrons absolutely are. Venezuela is not just a troubled socialist state, it is a proxy hub for global adversaries and a strategic foothold for anti-American interests. Its alliances with Russia, Iran, and China make its territory far more than a regional issue. When Trump signals military action, the reverberations aren’t limited to Caracas — they echo in Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing. Russia is the leader of the northern confederacy, and Iran (Persia) is a major player in the prophesied coalition. These alliances are tightening. Their sphere of influence is expanding. And South America is no exception. Every conflict, every provocation, every military escalation is another data point showing us that the world stage is preparing for the next act. Who’s ready to fly?

 Trump declares Venezuela’s airspace ‘completely CLOSED’ after warning land strikes on drug gangs will start ‘very soon’

FROM THE SUN US: The US president’s warning comes amid escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas with fear ramping up over an all-out war over Venezuela’s drug gangs. The airspace closure comes as US and Venezuela continue to clash over Trump’s war on drugs – and the US ramps up its military presence in the Caribbean.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

US military aircraft are already said to be “almost constantly” conducting patrols in the international airspace near Venezuela, a US official told the Washington Post. On Thursday, Trump vowed to escalate military action against alleged drug smugglers, saying the US military would start land operations in Venezuela “very soon”.

He said: “You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also. The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon.”

Last week, the US aviation regulator warned major airlines of a “potentially hazardous situation” when flying over Venezuela due to a “worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around” the country. Venezuela has since revoked operating rights for six major international airlines that have suspended flights into the country following the warning from the US Federal Aviation Administration.
