IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. source

OVER THE TARGET: Supreme Leader Of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Has Fled To Underground Bunker As Threat Of Airstrikes From The United States Heats Up

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone underground, reportedly hiding out in a bunker out of fear of being wiped out by US airstrikes — as the USS Abraham Lincoln steams toward the Persian Gulf.

We are living in a time of kings and kingdoms shaking before judgment, as neither flesh nor blood but principalities are visibly at war on the earth. In today’s headlines, there are multiple reports that Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has moved to a fortified underground shelter because of the growing threat of military action from the United States, including a U.S. carrier strike group steaming toward the Middle East.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)

The Iranian regime, for decades antagonistic to both Israel and the U.S., now faces internal collapse and external pressure. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has bluntly stated its force has its “finger on the trigger” and remains ready to respond, while Iranian officials have warned that “any attack on Khamenei would be treated as all-out war.” Usually, Iran is just bluffing, and in an head-on confrontation they usually back down. But one of these days, mark my words, they won’t, and we’ll see some real damage done in the Middle East.

Iran’s supreme leader retreats underground, warned of likelihood of US airstrikes

FROM THE NY POST: The 86-year-old supreme leader has moved to a fortified shelter in Tehran connected to a series of elaborate underground tunnels after senior military officials warned of the increasing likelihood of an imminent US attack, Iran International reported, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Khamenei has left his youngest son Masoud Khamenei, 53, in charge of running the day-to-day management of the Islamic Republic, the Jerusalem Post reported. Masoud Khamenei’s emergency duties include being the primary communication channel with the regime’s executive branch, according to the report.

Iran has deemed the likelihood of US airstrikes to be high after President Trump announced Friday that warships were headed to the Middle East as a warning to the ayatollah, following a continuing war of words between the two leaders in recent days.

Trump boasted Friday that the US Navy was sending a massive “armada.”

The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, which includes three destroyers, is currently motoring from the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf region of Iran, Stars and Stripes reported. Publicly, Tehran has not backed down from heightened tensions with the US as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian threatened to treat any attack against the supreme leader by the US or Israel as “an all-out war against us.”

It’s not the first time the supreme leader has holed up underground. Khamenei also went silent after retreating to a bunker last June, during the 12-Day War with Israel. He reportedly had even drafted a list of potential successors in the event he was killed in the short-lived conflict.

His latest X post this year threatened to go after both internal and international “criminals” who he claimed were responsible for the widespread protests that have gripped the nation since Dec. 28. Those protests — against a disastrous economy that came on the back of the worst drought the country has seen in decades — have seen regime forces gun down at least 3,000 civilians, with some groups claiming the death toll as high as 20,000.

GRAPHIC WARNING: The 2026 Super Bowl LX Will Be A Master Class In Grooming And Indoctrinating Your Children Into The LGBTQ Movement, Turn It Off

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Super Bowl LX 2026 is being called the ‘gayest’ ever played, and their main target will be the indoctrination of the millions of child who will be watching, your children

By the time Super Bowl LX kicks off on February 8, 2026, Americans will not merely be watching a football game — they will once again be subjected to a carefully curated cultural sermon. The NFL, NBC, Peacock, and their corporate partners are no longer subtle about the message: America must celebrate what God condemns. Let the Gay Games begin!

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20 (KJB)

The increasing and intentional inclusion of LGBTQ+ performers, themes, and advertising narratives is not accidental, and it is not about “representation.” It is about redefinition — redefining morality, redefining identity, redefining truth itself. The Super Bowl has become one of the most powerful propaganda tools in the modern era, reaching over 100 million viewers in a single night, many of them families and children. This is not entertainment. This is indoctrination. The Bible warned us plainly that this day would come.

NFL Super Bowl LX 20206 Halftime Performers:

Bad Bunny – openly LGBTQIA+ queer affirming performer. Bad Bunny is planning to make his Super Bowl half-time show as queer as possible including wearing a dress, sources claim
Brandi Carlile – lesbian country singer. A proud lesbian artist and outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, Carlile has consistently used her platform to champion equality and inclusion.
Billie Joe Armstrong – bisexual singer for Green Day. Armstrong says that the 1994 song, “Coming Clean”, is about contemplating his sexuality as a teenager in San Francisco.

For decades, the NFL wrapped itself in its phony patriotism — military flyovers, flags, anthems, and slogans about “unity.” But now the mask has come off. The league has openly aligned itself with a worldview that celebrates sexual confusion, rejects God’s created order, and openly defies Scripture. Take a good look at the colors in the Super Bowl LX 2026 logo at the top of this article, and you will clearly see the same colors of the LGBTQIA flag woven throughout.

No Christian has any business watching this garbage, and no American patriot does, either. Boycott Super Bowl 2026, turn it off. #boycottbadbunny #boycottnfl @nflcommish pic.twitter.com/dYR4FB1Gjh

Make no mistake: when advertisers pay millions of dollars to push these messages during the most-watched broadcast of the year, they are not “taking a risk.” They are following the spirit of the age. And what spirit is that? Glad you asked.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJB)

Mark it down. It is the duty of every Christian to discern the spirit of the age that they find themselves in, and to stand against it. Christians are meant to be salt – a cleanser and irritant – and light, to a lost and dying world. Don’t just ‘not watch’ the demonic Halftime Show, turn the entire thing off and go open your King James Bible and spend the same amount of time that you would have wasted watching football in the study of God’s preserved word. Your spirit will thank you for it.

This is not about individual performers, and it is not about personal feelings. Scripture commands us to love people — but it never commands us to affirm sin. What we are witnessing is the normalization of rebellion against God, packaged in bright lights, celebrity worship, and billion-dollar branding.

The NFL does not want neutrality.
The networks do not want tolerance.
The advertisers do not want coexistence.

They want celebration. And celebration is endorsement.

Super Bowl Sunday has quietly become one of America’s most effective altars — not to God, but to self, identity, and defiance. That is why believers should not be surprised, shocked, or confused. We were warned. This is exactly what an end-times culture looks like when a nation abandons biblical truth.

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 (KJB)

The question for Bible believers is not whether the Super Bowl has changed — it has. The real question is whether Christians will continue to sit silently, excuse it as “just entertainment,” and allow their children to be discipled by corporations with agenda instead of Scripture.

The world is choosing its side openly now. So must we. I turned the NFL off back in 2017, come join me.

After Backing Down On His Pledge To Defend Iranian Protestors, President ‘TACO’ Trump Sends The USS Abraham Lincoln And Three Destroyers To Middle East

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President TACO has sent the USS Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East, will he finally keep his promise to the Iranian people and help them topple regime?

A senior Iranian official stated that Iran will treat any attack “as an all-out war against us,” on Friday, ahead of the arrival of a United States military aircraft carrier strike group and other assets in the Middle East region, which is expected in the coming days. “This military buildup – we hope it is not intended for real confrontation – but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran,” said the senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.” Jeremiah 49:35 (KJB)

Donald Trump promised the hundreds of thousands of Iranian protestors that he would launch airstrikes on the regime if mass killings began, and that is one of the main reasons why the Iranian had the courage to stand up for their freedom. Then the regime turned off the internet, the mass killings began, but the TACO president did not launch the strikes he promised. Proof of the mass deaths are easily found on social media, and someone as internet savvy as Trump could easily find that proof. So now he has ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln to the region, and only time will tell if he will actually keep his promise to the Iranian people.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is arriving in the Middle East

FROM WSLS NEWS 10: The Pentagon has been sending U.S. military assets into the Middle East this week, including an aircraft carrier group and its thousands of troops, as President Donald Trump indicates he is maintaining the possibility of strikes on Iran amid its crackdown on protests.

“We have a massive fleet heading in that direction, and maybe we won’t have to use it,” Trump told reporters Thursday, saying they were going “just in case.”

Trump has threatened military action if Iran carried out mass executions of prisoners or killed peaceful demonstrators, but he recently backed away, claiming Iran halted the hangings of 800 detained protesters. He has not elaborated on the source of the claim, which Iran’s top prosecutor called “completely false.”

However, Trump appears to be keeping his options open, saying Thursday aboard Air Force One that his threatened military action would make last year’s U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites “look like peanuts” if the government proceeded with planned executions of some protesters.

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three accompanying destroyers left the South China Sea and began heading west earlier this week, a Navy official said. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military movements, said Friday that the Lincoln strike group was in the Indian Ocean.

When they arrive in the region, those warships would join three littoral combat ships, which were in port in Bahrain on Friday, as well as two other U.S. Navy destroyers, which were at sea in the Persian Gulf.

The arrival of the carrier strike group would bring roughly 5,700 additional service members. The U.S. has several bases in the Middle East, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which hosts thousands of American troops and is the forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command. READ MORE

Will President TACO Trump attack Iran in 2026?

According to some reports, Israel believes President Trump is preparing to strike Iran. The panel discusses the possibility and its potential outcomes.
