Bill and Hillary Clinton delay depositions in House Oversight panel’s Jeffrey Epstein probe​

The Clintons have pushed back their deposition dates for the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

​

Back ground info from AI

In August 2025, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), issued deposition subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton as part of a broader investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and connections.
• The subpoenas also targeted former U.S. Attorneys General, FBI Directors, and Department of Justice records related to Epstein.

Response and Compliance
• As of mid-November 2025, neither Clinton has complied with the subpoenas. Comer stated that his committee had not heard back from them and warned that continued silence could lead to criminal referrals, similar to the treatment of Steve Bannon for defying a congressional subpoena.

Why the stone walling? What are they afraid of?

A voice cries in the wilderness,
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight the way in the desert
For a highway for our God.

“The glory of the Lord our God,
Revealed, it now shall become,
And all people will now see it,
For the Lord has spoken it.”

A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said,
“What shall I cry?,” I know not.
“All people, they are just like grass,
Their faithfulness like flowers.

“The grass, it withers, flowers fall,
Because God’s breath blows on them.
Surely the people are like grass,
But the word of God endures.”

You who bring good news to Zion,
Go up on a high mountain.
Now lift up your voice with a shout,
Lift it up, don’t be afraid.

Say to the people everywhere,
“Here is your God!” Do you see?
The Sovereign Lord comes with power,
He rules with a mighty arm.

See, His reward now is with Him,
His reward now goes with Him.
He tends His flock like a shepherd,
For our Shepherd, that is Him!

He gathers us now in His arms,
Close to His heart, we all are;
He gently leads us where to go.
We who love Him follow Him.

"The spike in arson attacks is particularly prominent: A total of 94 arson incidents targeted churches and other Christian sites — one-third of which occurred in Germany.

France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Austria recorded the highest number of anti-Christian incidents overall. While most attacks were directed at places of worship, OIDAC Europe recorded 274 personal attacks against Christians in 2024, including assaults and threats."

"Among the report’s findings are several severe cases, including the killing of a 76-year-old monk in Spain in November 2024 and the near-destruction of a historic church in Saint-Omer, France, by fire in September 2024."

New report shows anti-Christian hate crimes in Europe reached 2,211 in 2024

Hello all,

Can I ask that you please direct me to some scripture or lead me in prayer re: a debilitating fear I have had my whole life - carcinophobia.

It is a distracting phobia that robs me of my joy in life and distracts me from Christ due to anxiety, worry, fear, rumination etc.

Thank you all for your help, as always, God bless.

Calling it one of the largest child-recovery operations in U.S. history, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that 122 children were rescued from child predators and abusers in a U.S. Marshals-led statewide operation billed “Operation Home for the Holidays.”

“We're excited to announce this rescue effort [of] 122 kids that were reported missing. They're now back in our custody,” Uthmeier said during a press conference Monday. “Many have been through the unthinkable. They've been trafficked. They've been exploited. They've been abused. They need our help now more than ever.”

Authorities said the rescued children range in age from 2 to 17. Six adults have also been arrested in connection with the operation so far and more are expected. The adults are facing charges ranging from lewd and lascivious behavior to multiple sexual batteries.

Fifty-seven children were rescued in Tampa, 29 in Fort Myers, 22 in Jacksonville, 14 in Orlando, and 13 others were recovered outside the state of Florida. Two of the 13 children were rescued from Mexico and Guatemala.

Florida officials said Operation Home for the Holidays surpassed the scale and success of Operation Dragon Eye, conducted earlier this year.

This is very good news!

This is from the Old Testament, but did you know that the New Testament teaches these same fundamental truths in the gospel of our salvation? And I don’t mean word for word of what this teaches, but the fundamental truths of the gospel. What determines one’s salvation, whether Old Testament or New Testament, is not only the grace of God, and genuine faith which comes from God, but how we live in conduct, whether we are living righteously in obedience to our Lord or we are living wickedly in disobedience to God. And New Testament – Jesus’ blood sacrifice to take away the sins of the world.

For we read in 1 Corinthians 10:1-22 and Hebrews 3:1-19 and Hebrews 4:1-13 that God was not pleased with the majority of those who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. For they were those who craved evil and who were idolaters, revelers, immoral, grumblers, and those who put God to the test. So God put them to death, and they did not get to enter into the Promised Land nor into God’s eternal rest (his salvation from sin and eternal life with God). And these things happened as examples for us, that we should not crave evil things as they did. And they were written down for our instruction.

For God regards disobedience to his commands, in practice, the same as unbelief. And belief in Jesus Christ, if it is genuine biblical faith, must be accompanied by death to sin, not just once, but daily putting sin to death, by the Spirit, and walking in obedience to our Lord and his commands in our conduct, and as our practice. This is not to say that we will be perfect in everything or that we will never sin again (1 John 2:1-2), but that sin must no longer be our practice, and obedience to our Lord must now be our practice, by the grace of God, in the power of God, and by the Spirit.

So, we are blessed of God who do not walk in the counsel of the wicked, and who do not follow after the sinful desires of the flesh, but whose delight is in the teachings of Christ and of his New Testament apostles and of the Scriptures, as a whole. And if we delight in our Lord and in the teachings of the Scriptures, and in his commandments to us who believe in Jesus Christ, then we will be those who are walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands in holy living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God. And we will be those who are no longer making sin our practice.

And if we are indeed following our Lord in surrender to his will, in obedience to his commands in daily living, by the grace of God, then we should also be those who are bearing much spiritual fruit in keeping with repentance and with walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands. There should be physical evidence, by how we live, that we are in genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, and he is truly Lord (Owner-Master) of our lives. For we should be working for God, our lives committed to his service, doing what he says, who are also sharing the truth of the gospel with the people of this world.

But if we are living wickedly, in direct defiance to our Lord and to his commands, and if sin is still what we practice, and not obedience to God, we will not inherit eternal life with God, regardless of what our lips profess. Like the old saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding,” i.e. the test to see whether or not our faith in Jesus Christ is of God, and is genuine, is in the results (the fruit). Are we living righteously, in obedience to our Lord, in following his leading and his will and purpose for our lives? Or are we still living in sin and for self without regard for our Lord and his commands?

More than 2,200 anti-Christian crimes in Europe last year: OIDAC Europe

Violent attacks or threats against Christians and arson attacks against churches in Europe spiked sharply in 2024, according to a new report released Monday by the watchdog group Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe).

The report, which the Vienna-based watchdog group officially launched Tuesday, noted the 2,211 hate crimes targeting Christians recorded across the continent in 2024 marked a drop from the number of incidents in 2023, but that the nature of the crimes had grown more violent.

Physical attacks against Christian individuals rose from 232 cases in 2023 to 274 cases in 2024, while arson attacks on churches and Christian properties reached 94, which was nearly twice the previous year's figure. The report noted that data regarding personal attacks was not available from France and the U.K. for 2024.

The report also noted that the highest numbers of anti-Christian incidents overall were in France, the U.K., Germany, Spain and Austria.

Among the violent incidents, OIDAC Europe highlighted the murder of a 76-year-old Catholic friar who was killed in November 2024 by a man who stormed the Friary of Santo Espiritu del Monte in Spain while screaming, "I am Jesus Christ!"

Why didn't the Biden administration embarrass Steve Bannon by leaking his connection to Epstein? He is a Trump ally.

House Democrat exchanged texts with Epstein during 2019 congressional hearing​

“During the hearing, Congresswoman Plaskett received texts from staff, constituents and the public at large offering advice, support and in some cases partisan vitriol, including from Epstein,” Plaskett’s spokesperson, Angeline Jabbar, said in a statement to CNN. “As a former prosecutor she welcomes information that helps her get at the truth and took on the GOP that was trying to bury the truth. The congresswoman has previously made clear her long record combating sexual assault and human trafficking, her disgust over Epstein’s deviant behavior and her support for his victims.”

The Kessler twins — a German entertainment duo who became famous both in the US and throughout Europe beginning in the 1950s — have died at 89 after choosing to end their lives together.

The performers, Alice and Ellen Kessler, both turned to assisted suicide on Monday, according to the German publication Bild.

The singing and dancing sisters reportedly died together in their home in Grünwald, near Munich.


The Kessler twins once were known for making the rounds on American talk shows and performing with multi-hyphenate entertainment giants, including Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire and Sammy Davis Jr., among other stars.

According to Bild, the sisters 'no longer wanted to live' and 'had chosen to end their lives together.'

Death by medical aid had essentially been banned in the wake of a 2015 German law outlawing the 'commercial promotion of assisted suicide,' according to the BBC.

Federal immigration authorities have nabbed a wanted terror suspect from Uzbekistan who slipped into the U.S., landed a trucking job, and even secured a Pennsylvania commercial driver’s license in a case that is likely to fuel growing public outrage over illegal aliens operating heavy rigs on American highways.
The Department of Homeland Security said ICE agents arrested 31-year-old Akhror Bozorov in Kansas on Nov. 9. Uzbekistan issued a warrant for his arrest in 2022, accusing him of belonging to a terrorist group, spreading jihadist propaganda online, and recruiting others to join the movement.

What kind of background checks are they doing?

We’ve all seen it: you ask for testimonies of grace and within five posts someone’s waving Psalm 137:9 or Hitler to prove a point.

The Church Under Fire

Chapter Seven

Majority Versus Minority

May 28, 2023

I am still reading in the book of Acts. And Paul had just finished giving his defense to King Agrippa. Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, “This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.” (see Acts 26:30-32)

Paul then set sail for Italy, still as a prisoner, but the winds were against their ship. So Paul advised those who were in charge of his concern that the voyage would be with injury and much loss. But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said. So, the majority decided to put out to sea. But then they came up against a northeaster, and so the ship was driven along by the wind. So they began to throw some of the ship’s cargo overboard. And all hope of them being saved was at last abandoned (see Acts 27:1-20).

Now, as I read through this passage of Scripture, which I have summarized in the paragraph above, I could not help but be drawn to other Scriptures and to more of a spiritual application of this lesson rather than to discuss it more on a physical level. For certain words and key phrases were standing out at me for certain. So this ends up being a perfect parable, as well as a historical account of Paul’s journeys. For I see many parallels here to Ephesians 4:11-16, which I will explain.

Tossed To and Fro

The first word that stood out to me in this passage in Acts 27 was “winds.” And that took me to Ephesians 4:14-15 ESV:


And it was Paul who penned these words, as he was carried along by the Holy Spirit. And if you read all of the book of Acts, as well as all of the books of the Bible penned by Paul, you should soon realize that Paul regularly warned against such “winds,” that they would result in the spiritual injury and loss of many lives. But these are not Paul’s words in reality, for he was given these words by God, and now they are regarded as Scripture. And truly many people in charge (pastors, elders) are ignoring these warnings. And so they are indeed leading their flocks to death, not to life eternal.

In fact, many pastors these days have become men who are spreading these winds of doctrines via human cunning and by craftiness in deceitful scheming. And many of them are being taught to use cunning and craftiness and deceitful scheming and mind manipulation in order to get their people to go in the direction they want them to go. But that is not the way that the Lord wants us to go, for it is not the way of the cross of Jesus Christ, but the way of humans who are diluting and altering the character of God, of Christ, and of the gospel, to appease and to attract human flesh.

For they are telling people that all they have to do is to make a one-time profession of faith in Jesus Christ and now all their sins are forgiven (past, present, and future), and heaven is now guaranteed them when they die, but regardless of how they live. And many of them are not teaching repentance, submission to Christ, holy living, and walks of obedience to the Lord. And some (or many) are literally teaching that we do not have to repent of our sins, and we do not have to obey the Lord and live holy lives. And so they are sending their recipients to hell on the promise of heaven.

And So the Majority

So, the words and phrases “winds,” “advised,” “those who were in charge,” “injury and loss,” didn’t “pay attention,” and “so the majority” were all standing out to me at this point, and now I want to focus on “so the majority.” And I am going to relay to you a small encounter I had a few years back with a friend of mine and of my husband’s. For I had been writing on Facebook at this time, and I was examining (testing) two main writings against the teachings of the Scriptures.

The first was some of the writings of John Eldredge. The second was the writings of the Missional Movement in their book, “The Tangible Kingdom Primer.” And this friend of ours was a follower of John Eldredge, and he and his wife were in a home Bible study group with us at the time, and we were all going through this book, “The Tangible Kingdom Primer,” which was passed off as discipleship training. And, as a disciple of Christ who has learned to test what I hear, I was looking into these writings and sharing my findings on Facebook, and this was upsetting this man friend of ours.

Then he (and his wife, I think) came over to our house, and he took me to task, and he screamed at me, and he tried to convince me that, since I was in the minority, I must be wrong, and that I needed to get with the majority, because, according to his estimation, the majority was right. So, since I was testing these people’s writings against the Scriptures, in his estimation I was wrong, but if I just accepted their teachings without question, then according to him, I would be right. But that way of thinking is so anti-biblical!

For it isn’t the majority who are in the right, for they are the ones following the broad road which leads to destruction and not the narrow road leading to life eternal with God (see Matthew 7:13-14). For those who are following the truth, who are walking in holiness and in righteousness and in obedience to the Lord, are not the majority. We are the minority, which seems to be shrinking by the day. For so many people today are buying into these various “winds of doctrine” via the cunning, craftiness, and deceitful scheming of many men (and some women) calling themselves “pastors.” And it is leading them to destruction.

So, the majority decided to put out to sea, and then they came up against a northeaster, and then the ship was driven along by the wind. And all hope of them being saved was at last abandoned.

And sadly, this is where much of “the church” (the ship) is situated right now in America, being driven by these winds of doctrine via these men in their deceitful scheming. And so all hope of them being saved from their sins and having eternal life with God is being abandoned because they will not listen to godly counsel, but they are following the majority and the counsel of these “wolves in sheep’s clothing” disguised as servants of righteousness. So, don’t be fooled by them!

Jesus Christ said that if anyone would come after him he must deny self and take up his cross daily and follow him. And when Jesus took up his cross he definitely denied self and he put sin to death with him on that cross. So, we must deny self and die daily to sin and follow our Lord in obedience. For, if we hold on to our old lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose them for eternity. But if for the sake of Christ we die with him to sin and we live to him and to his righteousness, then we have eternal life in him (see Luke 9:23-26). So, please take this seriously, for your eternity depends on it.

[Matt 7:21-23; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 9:23-26; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Heb 9:28; 1 Pet 1:5; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; 1 Pet 2:24; Tit 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-9; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; Heb 3:6,14-15; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

Online influencer Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist who has millions of young male followers, was facing allegations of sex trafficking women in three countries when he and his brother left their home in Romania to visit the United States.

“The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back,” Tate posted on X before the trip in February — one of many times he has sung the president’s praises to his fans.

But when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.

This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul [Nazi Streak] Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

The White House declined to answer questions about whether Ingrassia was acting on his own or representing the White House’s wishes.

It’s unclear why law enforcement wanted to examine the devices, what their analysis found or whether Ingrassia’s intervention hindered any investigation. The White House and DHS declined to answer questions about the incident. [the Tates' lawyer-slash-Ingrassia's former boss says they haven't gotten their phones back.]

But law enforcement experts said it is highly unusual for the White House to get involved in particular border seizures or to demand authorities give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation.

Ingrassia’s lawyer, Edward Paltzik, said in a text message: “Mr. Ingrassia never ordered that the Tate Brothers’ devices be returned to them, nor did he say — and nor would he have ever said — that such a directive came from the White House. This story is fiction, simply not true.”

this has worried me, do I need to be a Catholic to be saved, or a Protestant? Or does the denomination have nothing to do with it?

Amid an immigration enforcement crackdown in Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents conducted an operation Saturday that resulted in a church's cleaning crew fleeing the property and one person with a final order of removal being detained.

In a statement to The Christian Post, Public Affairs Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that CBP agents "were conducting an immigration enforcement operation" on Saturday "when they encountered an individual, who immediately fled toward the grounds of a church."

“During the pursuit, a cleaning crew who were on the grounds also began to flee in different directions," McLaughlin stated. "Agents apprehend a member of the cleaning crew, an illegal alien from El Salvador who was issued a final order of removal from a judge over a year ago."

The prince’s visit is his first to the United States since 2018. That year, Saudi agents killed the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Khashoggi, who was a Saudi national and critic of the regime, was also a U.S. resident.

Bin Salman has denied ordering Khashoggi’s killing.

[At the time (during Trump 1.0), the CIA fingered 'MBS' as being behind the plot, but President Trump (then and now) doesn't let that get in the way of business.]

IMO, any kind of AI use that *controls* human behavior is an abomination. AI should never be used that way, it should only be used to assist humans. Exclusively. So I create this thread for people to share every possible way we can think of that AI should NOT be used.

I am openly stating here, that I think there should be laws restricting the use of AI that controls, or attempts to control any human being.

Armed assailants abducted a priest and others while killing the brother of another church leader during a Monday attack in Nigeria’s troubled Kaduna state, according to a leading Catholic charity.

In a press statement, Aid to the Church in Need said it received an official communication from the Archdiocese of Kaduna stating that unidentified assailants attacked the residence of 39-year-old Father Bobbo Paschal, the parish priest of St. Stephen Parish, on Monday in the Kagarko Local Government Area. Paschal and many others were taken captive while the brother of Father Anthony Yero was killed.


“Church authorities are urgently calling on all people of goodwill to join in prayer for the safety and swift release of Fr. Bobbo Paschal and all those abducted, and for the peaceful repose of the deceased,” the statement reads. “ACN expresses deep concern over this latest act of violence targeting Christian communities and clergy in Nigeria and remains in close contact with the local Church as the situation develops.”
