Fraudster’s Victims Are Seething After Trump Commuted His Sentence

David Gentile spent just days in prison for his conviction in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Mr. Trump has used the power to reward allies, many of whom were convicted of white-collar crimes, and to make political points, including by casting prosecutions of his supporters as witch hunts like those that he claims have targeted him.
“I’m a senior citizen,” said Catherine Kominos, 66, and a retired engineer in Virginia who said she invested $50,000 with GPB. “I need that money. It’s not like I’m a jet setter or a wealthy person.”
Jeff Lipman, a retired dentist living in Boca Raton, Fla., said he invested $750,000 in GPB. In an interview, Mr. Lipman said he had received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a federal settlement, but that he was owed nearly $300,000 more.
Mr. Lipman, 72, said he could not fathom why Mr. Trump, whom he supported, granted clemency to Mr. Gentile. He dismissed any notion that the prosecution was politically motivated.
“I’m a Trump supporter, and this was bad, bad, bad,” Mr. Lipman said. “To have this guy finally go to jail deservedly and for Trump let him out, there can be no excuse for this.”

GPB fraud perpetrator may avoid forfeiting over $15 million

David Gentile, the GPB Capital founder freed from federal prison last week by President Trump, might also avoid forfeiting about $15.6 million sought by prosecutors following his conviction on criminal fraud and conspiracy charges involving more than $1.7 billion and 17,000 private-equity investors.

Trump has an affinity to white collar fraudster, those like himself, and zero empathy for their victims.
David Gentile who Trump pardoned had over 10,000 victims who lost their retirements and life savings.

Release International prayers for Algeria.

Release International’s partner in Algeria supports pastors who are facing legal action. This includes providing lawyers, paying fines and providing monthly support for the families of pastors who have been arrested or imprisoned.



Pray
for Christians in Algeria, as the government continues to prosecute people for unauthorised worship, while at the same time refusing to allow the Protestant Church of Algeria to officially register its churches.



Pray for a number of Algerian Christians who have appeared in court recently. Pray for God’s protection and for his favour in the verdicts. Pray for all Christians currently facing legal proceedings.



Pray for the release of 6,000 Bibles that have been held at the port of Algiers for three years. These were legally imported by the Bible Society of Algeria.

Ilan Omar did, in fact, marry her brother to commit immigration fraud.



The results of the test assert that there is a 99.999998% chance that Omar and her second husband Ahmed Elmi are siblings.

The report, drawn up by Endeavor DNA Laboratories does not name either Omar or Elmi, instead referring to them as 'Sibling 1' and 'Sibling 2.' DailyMail.com understands that Omar is Sibling 1.

Yes. Genetics prove that all the "conspiracy theories" about Ilan Omar committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother is true. DNA proves it and people closest to Ilan Omar admit it. IMO, she should be deported back to Somalia for fraud. I rally do not care about the fact that she is a member of Congress. The fact that she was able to be elevated to such a position demonstrates such a failure in the system, and explains why there is so much fraud in Minnesota. You elect a Somalian fraudster into congress, you get a Somalian fraudster in congress.

Who Hindered You?

“You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.” (Galatians 5:7-12 NASB1995)

The apostle Paul wrote this to the church in Galatia at a time when the Jews who had believed in Jesus were transitioning from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, and when Gentile believers were being pressured by the Judaizers to have to be circumcised, and when Jew and Gentile alike were being pressured into having to obey some of the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, circumcision, dietary and Sabbath laws. But they were not under the Old Covenant Law, but they were now under the New Covenant.

And in our day and time there are still Judaizers who are going from church to church gatherings trying to convince Gentile believers in Christ that it will enhance their relationships with God if they obey some of the Old Covenant liturgical and ceremonial laws, including their dietary and Sabbath laws. And there are a lot of Christians who are being convinced that if they become more like Jews, and if they support the Jewish nation, that it will draw them closer to God, and/or that they will not be cursed for not supporting Israel.

But Paul taught against such thinking as that. He let the Christians know, for one, that all Jews who have rejected Jesus as their Lord and Savior are not God’s children, his people, his nation. They are not heirs of the covenant God made with Abraham and his seed, Jesus Christ. “For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring… It is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise… And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13;1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

So, we are not to allow ourselves to be tricked into needing to obey some of the Old Covenant liturgical and ceremonial laws, for that is not of God.

But in the times in which we now live, that is probably the lesser of two evils, the first of which is that so many people are taking the Scriptures out of context, and they are twisting them to say what they do not say if taught in the correct biblical context. And many are teaching that faith in Jesus Christ requires nothing of us, since we are not under “The Law,” i.e. the Old Covenant. And so they are teaching that we don’t have to repent of our sins and we don’t have to obey the commands of God under the New Covenant.

So those who teach that God requires nothing of us other than a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, and that repentance and obedience to God are not required of God for salvation from sin and eternal life with God, as part of faith which saves, they have nullified what Jesus Christ did for us on that cross. For in his death, he put our sins to death with him so that, by God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in him, we will now die to sin and walk in obedience to our Lord and his commands, all in the power of God.

So, if you have professed faith in Jesus Christ, and you are now convinced that all your sins are forgiven, and that heaven is guaranteed you as your eternal destiny, but you have not denied self, and you are not putting sin to death daily, by the Spirit, and you are not walking (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord’s New Covenant commands, then please know that, according to the Scriptures, you do not know God, you are not in fellowship with Christ, and you do not have eternal life with God, regardless of what you profess.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

So, study the Scriptures for yourselves, but study them in their true biblical context, and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth. Trust not in humans.

A hundredfold - what does it mean?

4 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

What Child is This? A Journey Through the Nativity

I’ve put together a Christmas presentation titled “What Child Is This? - A Journey Through the Nativity.” It’s a quiet, scripture‑rooted walk through the birth of Jesus, from the angel’s announcement to the worship of the shepherds and the Magi. My hope is that it brings peace, reflection, and a blessing to each one of you who views it.

If it blesses you, feel free to share it with others this season. May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified.

Over 40 percent of Netflix’s children’s shows contain LGBT content: report

A new analysis found that 41 percent of Netflix TV shows for children portray homosexual relationships, ‘transgender’ and ‘non-binary’ characters, and other ‘queer’ themes.
A whopping 41 percent of both G-rated and TV-Y7-rated television series on Netflix contain content positively portraying homosexual relationships or transgenderism, Concerned Women for America (CWA) found in a recent analysis. This content was most often “explicit,” that is, featuring characters “clearly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or nonbinary.”


A lesser but significant portion of the shows portrayed LGBT-identified non-primary or “queer-coded” characters.


The content highlighted the even more disturbing fact that the creators of this LGBT content view children’s shows as “a tool for cultural transformation, not merely a reflection of existing norms,” as shown by public admissions. For example, Disney Television Animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau has spoken of her “not-at-all-secret” homosexual agenda in TV storytelling.

ACNA inquiry board finds Archbishop Steve Wood should be put on trial for allegedly violating vows, sexual immorality

The head of the Anglican Church in North America should be put on trial for allegedly violating ordination vows and for sexual immorality, a denominational investigative body has concluded.

The Board of Inquiry issued a short statement on Friday stating that there was “probable cause to present” ACNA Archbishop Steve Wood “for trial for violation of Canon 2 of this Title.”

According to the board, Wood should be charged with “Violation of Ordination Vows,” “Conduct giving just cause for scandal or offense, including the abuse of ecclesiastical power” and “Sexual Immorality.”

The Board of Inquiry will refer its decision to The Court for the Trial of a Bishop, a seven-member ACNA court that oversees proceedings against bishops.

In October, The Washington Post published allegations that Wood had engaged in sexual misconduct and abuse of power while serving as rector at St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

APOSTOLIC LETTER OF THE HOLY FATHER POPE LEO XIV ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ARCHAEOLOGYON THE OCCASION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE OF…

…CHRISTIAN ARCHAEOLOGY


In this centenary year of the establishment of the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, it is both my responsibility and my pleasure to share some reflections that I consider important for the Church in our present time. I do so with a grateful heart, knowing that when our memory of the past is illuminated by faith and purified by charity, it nourishes hope.

In 1925, the “Jubilee of Peace” was proclaimed with the intention of easing the terrible wounds of the First World War. Significantly, the centenary of the Institute coincides with another Jubilee, which also seeks to offer a new vision of hope to a humanity troubled by numerous wars.

The present age is marked by rapid changes, humanitarian crises and cultural transitions, and requires that we not only draw on ancient and new knowledge, but also search for a profound wisdom capable of preserving and passing on to future generations what is truly essential. In this light, I strongly wish to reaffirm the essential role of archaeology in understanding Christianity and, consequently, its application within catechetical and theological formation. Archaeology is not just a specialized discipline reserved to a few experts, but a path accessible to anyone who wishes to understand how faith is embodied in time, place and culture. For us Christians, history is a vital foundation. Indeed, we journey through life in the concrete realm of history, which is the same setting for the unfolding of the mystery of salvation. All Christians are called to ground their lives in the Good News that begins with the Incarnation of the Word of God within human history (cf. Jn 1:14).

As our beloved Pope Francis once reminded us, “No one can truly know their deepest identity, or what they wish to be in the future, without attending to the bonds that link them to preceding generations. This is true not only of us as individuals, but also as a community. Indeed, the study and writing of history helps to keep ‘the flame of collective conscience’ alive. Otherwise, all that remains is the personal memory of facts bound to our own interests or sensibilities, with no real connection to the human and ecclesial community in which we live.” [1]

Catholic Voters Still Back Trump, EWTN News/RealClear Poll Finds

The EWTN News RealClear Opinion Research Poll shows most Catholic voters still support President Trump and key policies such as mass deportations, even as inflation emerges as a potential warning sign.

One year after the 2024 presidential election returned him to the White House, President Donald Trump remains popular among Catholic voters, whose support proved pivotal to his re-election, a new EWTN News RealClear Opinion Research Poll shows.

That backing extends to the chief flashpoint of Trump’s first year since regaining the presidency: the ongoing mass deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal or undocumented immigrants.

That policy has sparked national protests, widespread media coverage, and strong statements of concern and condemnation from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and individual bishops. Even Pope Leo XIV has criticized it on multiple occasions, as did his predecessor, Pope Francis.

Yet a majority of Catholic voters (54%) say they support Trump’s policies calling for the detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale; 30% are opposed, and 17% neither favor nor oppose.

Fact or fiction? 9 popular myths about Our Lady of Guadalupe

Almost 500 years after the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe — whose feast the Church celebrates Dec. 12 — the image of Our Lady has become the subject of several popular myths and legends, especially in Mexico, where she appeared.

Father Eduardo Chávez, a priest of the Archdiocese of Mexico, was the postulator for Juan Diego’s canonization and is a renowned expert on the apparitions. He is also director of the Institute for Guadalupan Studies.

Speaking to ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, in 2019, Chávez separated fact from fiction.

Is it true the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has the same temperature as a human body?​

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations...

Peace in Christ.

His people are to manifest the Son of man through their mortal bodies to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness.

We lift Him up from out of the earth when we keep His “daily” sacrifice in our mortal bodies….and this lifting up will draw all unto Him….a great multitude.

This is the “death” we are to die: to keep the dying of our Lord in our mortal bodies so that His life is made manifest in this earth thereby lifting Him up.

Joh 12:32-36 KJV
(32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
(33) This he said, signifying what death he should die.
(34) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

(35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

We who believe in the light shining within our hearts when we hear His voice (as He opens up the Scripture of Truth to our hearing ears) are to become children of light that will shine His light to the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness. They will then see the light and come to it/us.

(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them
(37) But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

We shall then become children of light in this world...and the nations shall come to His/our light. There will be a “great multitude” of them coming to Him. It will start small and will progress until it is seen openly in this world. It cannot stay unnoticed as the increase will be dramatic. They will see a "cloud" of eyewitnesses praising God...which will cause a panic among the unbelievers of this world.

This drawing/dragging of the believers of this world to Him are the “clouds” of heaven. Clouds of people = a great multitude. They are the clouds of eyewitnesses who will “see” Him through us who will reveal the Son of man to their seeing eyes. They will gather to Him/us. It starts small....a trickle...and then progresses into a flood of people that can't stay unnoticed.

Mat 24:30 KJV
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

He comes with the clouds….and every eye shall see Him. It will eventually become noticeable in this world as a "great multitude" will be gathered together to Him/us.

The unbelievers of this earth will eventually see this cumulative effect of the manifestation of His presence (through us) as the people of the outside world (those who see and believe among them) will gather with us in increasing numbers.

They will eventually become a great multitude…. “clouds” of people….the clouds of eyewitnesses …of His glory that we manifest to them. .

Rev 1:5-7 KJV
(5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
(6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

(7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen

The unbelievers of the world will then panic when they see the Son of man coming in a “cloud” ….a great multitude of believers among the people of the outside world.
There will be “distress of nations” with perplexity...as they breathe out in a state of quandary.... when they will see a great multitude of people praising God….where they had not before. They will see the kingdom of God coming upon the earth….His government that cannot be shaken as the temporary earthly kingdoms shake at the apprehension of what is happening.

Luk 21:25-27 KJV
(25) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
(26) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.


"then" = at that time...they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud of eyewitnesses with power and great glory (as their earthly kings shall even see Him and praise God and bring their glory to Him).

(27) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

The sea and the waves roar….that is, the people of this earth make a loud noise in their rejoicing in Him and sing His praise.

Psa 98:4 KJV
(4) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

The sea roars and the fullness thereof….the believing people of the outside earth will praise Him. The "roar" shall be heard around the world...and cause panic.

Psa 98:7-9 KJV
(7) Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

(8) Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

They will be joyful “before”….that is, to the FACES (plural) of the LORD. We manifest His “face” by reflecting Him with an “open face” to the people of the world.

(9) Before (to the FACES) the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

The LORD makes known His salvation….OPENLY SHOWS it in the “sight” of the people of the outside world (the “heathen”). All the ends of the earth shall SEE the salvation of our God. The unbelievers of this world shall panic about what they see coming upon the earth.

Psa 98:2-3 KJV
(2) The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

(3) He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

We all with "open face" shall show forth His glory to the people of the outside world. Even their kings and lords (the "mountains and the hills" shall break forth in the FACES of us into singing. They will rejoice when they will look upon our face as we manifest His glory to them.

Isa 55:12-13 KJV
(12) For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before (in the FACES) you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

(13) Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

The "cloud" shall be seen by "every eye".

And with this “cloud” of people….the myriads of His saints…He comes to execute judgment upon all….

Jud 1:14-15 KJV
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands (MYRIADS) of his saints,

(15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

The unbelieving man-based churches will then be judged for all of their hard speeches that they had spoken against Him as they will not have believed Him when they heard His voice speaking to them the Word of Truth.

The unbelieving man-based churches will then see the sign of the prophet Jonah as the men of Nineveh (the people of the outside world) shall rise up in the judgment of them and condemn it. It will be a “cloud” of people that will see Him and believe. By then, it is too late for they will all be shut out from His presence.

Mat 12:39-41 KJV
(39) But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
(40) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

(41) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

If a man loves Jesus and keeps His words that he will hear (hearing and believing in the Word of Truth that He speaks to us), Jesus and His Father will come unto him and make their abode with Him.

Joh 14:23 KJV
(23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

We are the light of the world…of the people who are sitting in deep darkness. We are the city that is set on a hill that cannot be hid.

Mat 5:14-16 KJV
(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
(15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.


We are to shine His light before men rather than hide it so that they may see our good works and glory our Father which is in heaven. It is not the good works that give us this light as the light comes from the glory of God and the Lamb. We get their attention with the light so that they may see our good works afterwards.

(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The “city” is lit by the glory of God and the Lamb. They make their abode with us. His glory appears over us…and the nations that are saved shall walk in the light of it.

Rev 21:22-26 KJV
(22) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

(23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

The kings of this earth will bring their glory and honor into it. They will come to us. The Son of man comes with the clouds of heaven with power and great glory as the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought into it. He shall beautify the place of His sanctuary (He makes His abode in us) by the kings of the earth bringing their glory and honor into it.

(24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
(25) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

(26) And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

He will make the place of His feet glorious. He will beautify the place of His sanctuary…of His abode…as the glory and honor of the earth shall be brought to Him/us. We are the "city of the LORD."

Isa 60:13-14 KJV
(13) The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.


The sons of the man-based churches (those that will have afflicted us and despised us) shall come bending unto us....calling us the "city of the LORD."

(14) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
