Friends, gather round a minute.

There comes a time when the big stage in Washington goes dark and the real work moves out to the statehouses and the county seats where folks still look each other in the eye. That time is here again with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

On the last day of his term, former President Joe Biden handed Fauci a broad pardon covering any federal offenses from 2014 through January 2025. Many thought that closed the book. But the Constitution left the states their own authority, and a growing number of attorneys general have decided the book is not closed.

In late July 2026, Fauci sat before a Senate committee. He read a short statement and then invoked the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination 111 times. He would not answer questions about the origins of the virus, the funding of research in Wuhan, the shifting guidance on masks and schools, or the diaries that later surfaced showing what he was thinking at the time. Within days, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill followed, declaring her state would join Alabama and Florida. South Carolina’s Alan Wilson has led a broader coalition of seventeen states since early 2025, asking Congress for evidence that might support state-level action. Missouri and Louisiana had already deposed Fauci years earlier in related litigation; now those old “I don’t recall” answers are being held up against the contemporaneous records.

This is not about revenge. It is about whether the same rules apply to the powerful that apply to the rest of us. When a public official tells one story under oath and the written notes tell another, the people who lived through closed churches, closed schools, lost jobs, and empty chairs at the dinner table have a right to know. Scripture reminds us that “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32) and that “a false witness will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 19:5). The states are simply asking the questions Washington would rather leave buried.

What follows is a plain accounting of the public record, state by state, drawn from the announcements and reporting that have come forward.

That is the public record as it stands in early August 2026. Seventeen states put their names on a letter in 2025. Three—Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama—have now moved from letter to active investigation language after the latest Senate hearing and the release of additional records. Others remain part of the broader effort.

Some will say this is political theater. Others will say it is long-overdue accountability. The American way is to let the evidence speak and the law decide. A federal pardon stops federal prosecutors. It does not stop a state attorney general from asking whether state laws were broken and whether the people of that state were harmed by false statements or suppressed information.

We are a nation that once believed no man is above the law—not even the man who stood at the podium and told us what to do with our churches, our schools, and our children. The states are reminding Washington of that older truth. May the light keep shining until every honest question is answered.

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17)

That is enough for one sitting. Keep watching the statehouses. The story is not finished.

And, if your family is like mine, cheer for the states where your family has roots - Tennessee, Montana, Kansas, Texas,...

]]><![CDATA[The Silent Invasion]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/the-silent-invasionhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/the-silent-invasionTue, 28 Jul 2026 20:49:24 GMTIntroduction: America Has Been Invaded

America has been invaded. Not with tanks rolling across the Rio Grande or bombers darkening our skies, but with a quiet, deliberate flood of people who hate everything this nation stands for. Under the Obama/Biden open-borders scheme, at least 30 million illegal aliens poured into our country. Most came seeking work or a better life. But buried inside that tidal wave sits the most dangerous part of all: operatives and affiliates of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — the regime’s official terrorist army. Jeremiah 29:11 promises plans to prosper us and not to harm us, yet our leaders opened the gates wide to those who plot our harm. This article lays out the hard evidence so ordinary Americans can see the threat clearly and demand action before the sleepers wake.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Hundreds of Iranians Released into Our Midst

From fiscal years 2021 through 2024, Border Patrol alone apprehended more than 1,500 Iranian nationals illegally crossing our borders. Nearly half — 729 of them — were simply released into American communities. These are not random migrants. Every Iranian is treated as a “special interest alien” because of the terror risk. The numbers climbed every single year, peaking at nearly 800 encounters and 450 releases in 2024 alone. Add the unknown gotaways — the ones who slipped through never to be counted — and the picture grows darker still. Official data from Border Patrol agents and confirmed by multiple outlets show this was no accident. It was policy.

Record Terrorist Watchlist Encounters and the IRGC Connection

Under Biden-Harris, Border Patrol encountered a record 1,900-plus known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) — a more than 3,000 percent jump from the prior administration. At least 99 of those watchlisted aliens were released into our neighborhoods. Among the Iranians were confirmed former IRGC members. In early 2026, DHS deported two such men — Mohammad Mehrani and Morteza Nasirikakolaki — who had crossed illegally in California and Arizona just months earlier. The House Judiciary Committee’s “Terror at Our Door” report laid it bare: the open border became a welcome mat for people from Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, and other terror hotspots. Our own government admitted the vetting was broken.

Sleeper Cells: Waiting for Iran’s Signal

Hezbollah — the IRGC’s favorite proxy and the world’s most capable terrorist army outside a state — has maintained sleeper cells inside the United States for years. In the landmark case of Ali Kourani, a New York-based operative told the FBI he belonged to Hezbollah’s elite Unit 910 “Black Ops,” controlled by Iran’s Qods Force. He described himself as part of a sleeper cell that would activate if America went to war with Iran or struck Hezbollah or Iranian interests. He had already scouted airports, FBI offices, military facilities, and Jewish targets. Similar networks have been disrupted in California, New York, and elsewhere. Official FBI and DHS warnings now say the threat of Iranian sleeper cells “has never been higher.” They are already here. They are waiting.

Where They Cluster: Geographic Concentrations and Safe Havens

These threats are not spread evenly. Large Iranian and Shia populations — and the networks that protect them — concentrate in places like Dearborn, Michigan (one of the densest Arab-American communities in America), parts of Southern California, New York City, and certain Texas and Arizona corridors. Dearborn has hosted open pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah, and even memorial events for Ayatollah Khamenei. ICE multi-state sweeps have pulled Iranian nationals with IRGC and Hezbollah ties from Minnesota to the coasts. Criminal smuggling networks and Latin American pipelines (especially through Venezuela) feed the flow. When the sleepers need cover, logistics, or recruitment, these hubs provide it.

The Enablers: NGOs, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Axis of Resistance

No invasion succeeds without help on the inside. The Muslim Brotherhood’s American network — including groups like CAIR and ISNA, long documented in federal court as part of the Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee infrastructure — provides soft power, legal cover, fundraising, and political influence. Despite theological differences, the Brotherhood and Iran’s Axis of Resistance (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis) increasingly share enemies, money pipelines, and strategy. Recent Brotherhood statements openly pledged support to Iran. Some NGOs and resettlement networks facilitated the very parole and release programs that put special-interest aliens on our streets. This is not conspiracy; it is the documented ecosystem that turns border chaos into embedded threat.

Why This Moment Is Different: Retaliation Risk and Broken Borders

Iran has spent years plotting murder-for-hire against American officials and dissidents on U.S. soil — John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, journalists, even President Trump. Multiple IRGC-linked plots have been foiled since 2020. After U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, DHS issued heightened threat bulletins warning of possible sleeper activation, proxy attacks, or inspired lone actors. The Biden-era residue of released Iranians and unknown gotaways means we are playing catch-up. Former FBI officials call the catch-and-release of these special-interest aliens “gross negligence.” The border was not just open; it was an invitation.

A Call to Awaken: Stewardship, Vigilance, and National Renewal

We are stewards of a nation founded on liberty under God. Proverbs 22:3 says the prudent see danger and take refuge. The evidence is plain: IRGC-linked operatives, Hezbollah sleepers, Brotherhood-aligned networks, and hundreds of unvetted Iranians now walk our streets because leaders chose open borders over American lives. The fix is not complicated — restore real vetting, end catch-and-release, designate the full Muslim Brotherhood network, remove the known threats, and secure the border once and for all. America still has time to choose life and blessing over the curse of complacency. The sleepers are here. The question is whether we will wake up before they do.

]]><![CDATA[Trump Drops Bombshell on Election Vulnerabilities]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/trump-drops-bombshell-on-electionhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/trump-drops-bombshell-on-electionFri, 17 Jul 2026 15:07:45 GMT President Trump delivered a powerful primetime address on July 16, 2026, revealing shocking details about weaknesses in America’s election system. He ordered the release of declassified intelligence showing how foreign powers like China grabbed massive amounts of U.S. voter data and how voting machines have serious security holes. This data dump highlights real risks to fair elections that many have ignored for years. Trump made it clear: we need strong fixes now to protect every vote.

  • Original Article: MS Now Live Blog on Trump’s Primetime Speech (July 16, 2026, MS Now)
    The live updates covered Trump’s speech where he announced the release of intelligence documents on election security. He pointed to five major concerns, including China’s huge data grab of over 200 million voter files and vulnerabilities in voting machines and ballot systems. Trump stressed that the system falls short and pushed for reforms like voter ID. The coverage noted reactions from critics but detailed the document release on the White House site.

    President Trump ordered the immediate release of documents proving long-known risks in voting machines and systems. Reports detail China’s acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files with personal info, creating a major security nightmare. Trump called out exposed machines open to hacking and manipulation, urging fixes to restore trust. This backs up years of concerns about foreign meddling attempts.

    The declassified records show China collected data on over 200 million voters for analysis, but they don’t prove vote changes in 2020. Trump used this to highlight system weaknesses and push the SAVE America Act for stricter rules like proof of citizenship and photo ID. It points to ongoing risks from foreign data harvesting even if direct vote tampering isn’t confirmed.

This data dump is a big win for transparency. For too long, officials downplayed risks while everyday Americans worried about stolen votes and foreign interference. Trump’s move shines a light on problems that need fixing before more elections. Voting machines with outdated software, internet connections, and weak protections are no joke – they invite trouble. China snatching voter files shows how bad actors can target our system without firing a shot. We deserve elections where every legal vote counts and fraud gets stopped cold. Strong ID checks, paper backups, and better security aren’t extreme; they’re common sense. Ignoring these warnings only helps those who cheat. Americans are waking up and demanding real safeguards so our democracy stays strong.

]]><![CDATA[Secret Service's Butler Failures Exposed]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/secret-services-butler-failures-exposedhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/secret-services-butler-failures-exposedFri, 03 Jul 2026 20:48:57 GMT

Let me tell you a story about what happens when those sworn to protect our leaders drop the ball in a big way. On July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, a young man named Thomas Crooks climbed onto a rooftop just 155 yards from the stage and opened fire on then-candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally. A bullet grazed Trump’s ear, killed firefighter Corey Comperatore who was shielding his family, and wounded two others. Now, a tough new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General lays it out plain: the Secret Service missed chance after chance to spot this threat, stop it cold, and keep everyone safe. Poor communication with local cops, a broken counter-drone setup, and failure to lock down obvious dangers outside the main area all played a part. This wasn’t just bad luck—it was a cascade of preventable failures that could have changed history. As a nation that values strong leadership and divine protection, we must learn from this so it never happens again. God’s hand spared President Trump that day, but we can’t keep testing providence with sloppy security.

• Newsmax Article (July 3, 2026) - “DHS: Secret Service Failed Trump at Butler”
This piece dives deep into the DHS IG’s scathing 64-page report (OIG-26-13). It highlights how the Secret Service ignored 102 radio warnings from local law enforcement about Crooks carrying a rangefinder and later a rifle on the roof. No joint command post meant Trump’s detail never got the urgent alerts in time. A counter-drone operator was under-trained, the system failed, and the guy was Googling the building’s location instead of acting when shots rang out. The agency also didn’t secure the perimeter despite knowing the risks from Pennsylvania State Police plans and failed to block the shooter’s line of sight. The report offers seven recommendations for better comms, intel sharing, and event security. The Secret Service agreed and says reforms are underway. A stark reminder that basic protocols failed when it mattered most.

• USA Today Article (July 2/3, 2026) - “Secret Service missed chances to prevent Trump shooting, report says”
USA Today covers the same DHS IG reports, noting the Secret Service was understaffed by over 21% in 2023-2024, leaning hard on overtime and help from other agencies, which led to burnout. Key lapses included failing to detect Crooks’ drone scouting the site, not warning the protective detail about the suspicious man on the roof, and ignoring line-of-sight vulnerabilities despite plans showing the weak spots. The agency has disciplined staff, added measures like more bullet-resistant glass at outdoor events, and claims progress on reforms. It echoes earlier probes but stresses ongoing risks without fixes. A clear call for accountability in protecting our top leaders.

This report focuses on lawsuits by survivors James Copenhaver and David Dutch (and their wives), each seeking $150,000 in damages. They accuse the Secret Service and DHS of gross negligence—fragmented command posts, poor cellphone comms instead of unified radio, ignoring warnings about Crooks, and failing to secure the AGR rooftop despite knowing it was a vulnerability. The suits cite congressional findings on a “cascade of preventable failures” and note the Secret Service’s own admissions of operational shortcomings. It ties back to the rally tragedy, honoring Corey Comperatore’s sacrifice, and demands justice for those harmed. This legal action keeps the pressure on for real change.

Some snipers skipped required requalification but still worked events. This chronic shortage risked mission failure at high-threat gatherings like the Butler rally. The agency didn’t dispute the findings. It ties directly into broader failures where under-resourced teams couldn’t fully cover vulnerabilities, underscoring systemic issues in protective operations that must be fixed to safeguard America’s leaders.

]]><![CDATA[Iraq’s New PM Ali al-Zaidi Is Cleaning House Before His Trip to DC]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/iraqs-new-pm-ali-al-zaidi-is-cleaninghttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/iraqs-new-pm-ali-al-zaidi-is-cleaningMon, 29 Jun 2026 21:58:10 GMT

Let me tell you a story from the sands of ancient Mesopotamia, where power has always been a dangerous game of thrones, alliances, and sudden reckonings. In the heart of Baghdad, the heavily fortified Green Zone — that bubble of government offices, embassies, and elite residences along the Tigris River — was locked down tight this past weekend. Tanks rolled in, elite Counter-Terrorism Service units moved with purpose, and reports of gunfire echoed as dozens of high-profile officials found themselves in cuffs.

This wasn’t just another Middle Eastern headline about corruption. It’s a calculated move by Iraq’s new Prime Minister, Ali al-Zaidi, a 41-year-old businessman and political newcomer, as he prepares for a high-stakes visit to Washington. In the Old Eagle tradition of looking beyond the spin to see God’s hand in the affairs of nations — and the very human ambitions driving them — this crackdown signals both hope for reform and the gritty reality of power politics in a land long plagued by sectarian strife, Iranian influence, and entrenched graft.

The Dawn Raids That Shook the Green Zone

On June 28, 2026, security forces sealed entrances to the Green Zone and conducted sweeping pre-dawn raids. Iraqi state media and sources reported the arrest of approximately 47 officials, including sitting members of Parliament, former ministers, advisers, and figures from rival political blocs. Among the notable names: Muthanna al-Samarrai, leader of the Sunni Azm Alliance, and individuals linked to former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani‘s Reconstruction and Development Coalition, such as his brother and close associates.

The operation relied on elite Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) units rather than standard police, bypassing potentially compromised chains of command. Videos circulating on social media showed armored vehicles, helicopters overhead, and tense scenes near the U.S. Embassy compound. One particularly striking report highlighted the seizure of large sums of cash, gold bars, and other assets from the home of Shiite MP Alia Nassif, a figure ironically tied to parliament’s anti-corruption committee.

At the center of it all: Confessions from Adnan al-Jumaili, a former Deputy Oil Minister arrested earlier. His testimony allegedly unraveled networks of financial corruption, illicit enrichment, dollar smuggling, and Iranian oil dealings used to fund political campaigns and armed factions. In Iraq’s complex sectarian quota system (muhasasa), such “confessions” often emerge from political deals — one player implicates others in exchange for protection or leniency.

ZeroHedge captured the drama vividly: The Green Zone lockdown came amid broader regional tensions, including Iranian drone and missile activity. The outlet noted the arrests appear aimed at political classes aligned with Iran, with al-Zaidi emerging as a consensus candidate who received explicit U.S. blessing.

Who Is Ali al-Zaidi? The Businessman Turned Reformer

Ali Falih Kadhim al-Zaidi assumed office in May 2026 as Iraq’s youngest prime minister. A Shia Muslim with a background in banking and business — and reportedly significant personal wealth — he lacks deep political experience but was chosen as a compromise after months of deadlock following November 2025 parliamentary elections. Al-Sudani’s bloc had strong showings, but internal Shia Coordination Framework (many aligned with Iran) maneuvering elevated Zaidi.

President Donald Trump congratulated him early, extending an invitation to the White House. U.S. officials, including Special Envoy Tom Barrack, have emphasized goals like disarming non-state militias, restoring state monopoly on security, combating corruption, and boosting economic ties — especially in energy. Al-Zaidi’s upcoming mid-July visit to DC is framed around investment, trade, and strategic partnership.

His government has pledged “zero tolerance” on graft. Deploying CTS for these raids shows seriousness — or at least a desire to project strength against expected resistance from powerful networks.

Strategic Maneuver or Political Purge?

Critics and realists see this as classic power consolidation. The new administration is weakening rivals from the previous orbit and resetting the balance. Cross-party impact — hitting Sunni Azm figures and Sudani allies — helps al-Zaidi build his own base while signaling to international partners.

Geopolitically, the timing is telling. Iraq sits at the crossroads of U.S.-Iran tensions. Smuggling networks and Iran-backed factions have long siphoned resources. By targeting these, al-Zaidi addresses U.S. concerns about militia influence and demonstrates he’s a reliable partner for investment. ZeroHedge’s read — that this may curb Iran-linked networks amid recent escalations — aligns with broader efforts to assert state sovereignty.

This could also reflect “failing to pay off the right people.” In Iraq, loyalty and protection rackets define survival. Those arrested may have bet on the wrong horse in the leadership transition or refused to align with new patronage flows. Corruption charges are real — Iraq ranks poorly on global indexes — but enforcement is almost always selective.

Faithful Perspective: Scripture reminds us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from wicked ways, He will hear from heaven, forgive sin, and heal their land. Iraq has a resilient Christian remnant and deep historical ties to biblical lands. True cleaning of house requires more than raids; it demands moral courage, justice tempered by mercy, and rejection of foreign meddling that fuels division. Al-Zaidi’s moves offer a window — will it lead to broader renewal, or just another rotation of elites?

Broader Implications for Iraq and the Region

This crackdown occurs against Iraq’s challenges: Oil-dependent economy, youth unemployment, militia proliferation, and reconstruction needs post-ISIS and decades of conflict. Success could unlock U.S. and international investment, stabilize security, and improve governance.

For the U.S., backing al-Zaidi fits a pragmatic approach: Support leaders who deliver tangible progress on terrorism, sovereignty, and economic openness rather than endless entanglement. Trump’s administration has stressed partnerships yielding benefits for Americans and Iraqis alike.

Skeptics point out past false dawns. Iraqi politics remain factional; militias retain power; corruption is cultural in some networks. Al-Zaidi must navigate Shia alliances, Sunni inclusion, Kurdish dynamics, and Iranian proximity. One bold sweep doesn’t dismantle entrenched interests.

Still, the use of elite forces and judicial warrants, plus public emphasis on confessions and seizures, suggests momentum. If followed by transparent trials, asset recoveries, and institutional reforms, it could mark a shift.

What Comes Next? Watch the DC Visit

Al-Zaidi heads to Washington with a “reform” narrative. Expect discussions on energy cooperation, security assistance, militia disarmament, and anti-corruption benchmarks for aid/investment. U.S. officials will likely press for concrete actions beyond optics.

For observers of faith and freedom, this matters. A more stable, sovereign Iraq reduces regional volatility, counters Iranian expansion, and creates space for Christian communities and civil society. America’s role should prioritize long-term partnerships rooted in shared interests — prosperity, security, and accountable governance — rather than nation-building fantasies.

As Old Eagle often reflects on America’s own founding and biblical principles: Leaders who fear God, love justice, and steward resources wisely bring blessing. Iraq’s path forward hinges on whether al-Zaidi’s house-cleaning is the start of genuine stewardship or merely prelude to new bosses at the trough.

The Green Zone raids are dramatic theater, but the real test lies ahead. Will arrests expand? Will militias be curbed? Will ordinary Iraqis see reduced corruption and opportunity? Or will this fade into the region’s familiar cycle?

Pray for wisdom for Iraq’s leaders, protection for the innocent, and God’s purposes to prevail in a land central to history and prophecy. As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us — the verse inspiring so much purposeful work — God has plans to prosper, not harm, plans for hope and a future. May Iraq grasp some measure of that promise in our turbulent times.

Let me tell you a story, friends, the kind that reminds us why vigilance matters in a free land. For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has positioned itself as a watchdog against hate. But now, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, is threatening to hold this powerful leftist NGO in contempt of Congress. Why? For failing to turn over documents about its “field sources” inside extremist groups and its close work with the Biden Justice Department. This isn’t some small disagreement – it goes to the heart of accountability, truth, and whether big organizations can play by one set of rules while demanding another from everyone else. As folks who cherish liberty and God’s call for justice, we need to pay attention. Like the Good Book says, “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). What fruits are we seeing here?

  • Original Article: “EXCLUSIVE: Judiciary Committee Threatens to Hold the SPLC in Contempt for Withholding Documents” – June 26, 2026, The Daily Signal
    This exclusive report reveals House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan warning the SPLC’s incoming leader that the group must comply with a subpoena by July 9 or face contempt proceedings. The committee seeks documents on the SPLC’s “field sources” in extremist organizations, shell companies used for payments, revenue details, and communications with the Biden DOJ and FBI. Despite multiple extensions and testimony from interim CEO Bryan Fair – who reportedly dodged dozens of questions – little has been produced. This follows a federal indictment accusing the SPLC of fraud related to funding the very groups it claims to oppose. (96 words)

Friends, this situation feels like a page straight out of the leftist NGO playbook – the one inspired by Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. You know the tactics: accuse your opponents of the very things you’re doing, create enemies to rally donors, and when scrutiny comes, delay, deflect, and deny. The SPLC has spent decades branding peaceful Christians, conservatives, and family organizations as “hate groups” right next to real extremists on their infamous maps. Meanwhile, questions swirl about its own financial dealings and informant programs that allegedly propped up the very threats it raised money to fight.

Chairman Jordan and the committee are doing what Congress should – demanding sunlight. The federal indictments add weight, painting a picture of possible fraud and deception. For everyday Americans – the ones working hard, raising families in faith, and loving this country – this matters deeply. We’ve seen how these “hate” labels get weaponized to silence voices, influence law enforcement, and shape policy. When groups like the SPLC lose credibility, it doesn’t just hurt their brand; it erodes trust in institutions that should protect us all.

Think about it like tending a garden. You pull real weeds, but you don’t poison the good plants or pretend dandelions are roses. True justice requires discernment, not blanket smears. Our Founders designed checks and balances for exactly this reason – so no powerful entity, left or right, operates above the law. As people of faith, we’re called to seek truth and defend the vulnerable, not let big-money NGOs rewrite reality.

This contempt threat is a hopeful sign that accountability is returning. Pray for wisdom for our leaders, courage for whistleblowers, and clarity for the American people. Let’s support efforts that bring light into dark corners, honor the rule of law, and reject the radical playbook of division. Our republic depends on it – and so does the legacy we leave our children. May God guide us as we stand for what’s right

For years, a program most folks have never heard of — called Optional Practical Training (OPT) — has let companies hire foreign college graduates, including tens of thousands from Communist China, while giving those employers special tax breaks. American kids who worked hard through school and played by the rules often lose out on those same jobs. Now Senator Rick Scott of Florida is fighting back with real legislation to shut this down. His Prioritizing American Talent Act would stop the Department of Homeland Security from spending taxpayer money to support the program. This is about fairness, protecting American workers, and keeping our country secure. It’s common-sense leadership that puts America and her people first again.

Brothers and sisters, this is one of the most important and hopeful developments we’ve seen in a long time. The federal Department of Education — that massive bureaucracy in Washington that has spent decades telling parents, teachers, and local schools how to do their jobs — is finally being cut down to size.

The Daily Signal reports that the Department is actively reducing its responsibilities, shifting programs back to the states, and preparing for major downsizing. This is exactly what millions of Americans have been asking for. For years, the federal government has taken more and more control over education while results have gotten worse. Test scores have stagnated or declined, costs have skyrocketed, and parents have been pushed out of the driver’s seat.

Now, under strong leadership, we’re seeing real change. The Department is returning authority where it belongs — to parents, local school boards, and state governments who actually know the children in their communities. This is common sense. No one in Washington knows your child better than you do. No bureaucrat in a distant office should decide what your kids are taught about history, morality, or faith.

This move is long overdue. The Department of Education was only created in 1979. Before that, America had one of the strongest education systems in the world without a giant federal agency running everything. Since then, we’ve spent trillions with very little improvement. It’s time to admit what hasn’t worked and try a better way — local control, parental rights, and competition instead of one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington.

The American people are watching closely. This is about more than budgets and bureaucracy. It’s about who gets to shape the hearts and minds of the next generation. Do we want Washington elites deciding what our children learn, or do we want parents and communities making those decisions? The answer should be obvious.

This is a victory for freedom. It’s a victory for parents who have fought hard for their rights. And it’s a victory for common sense. Let’s keep praying for wisdom for our leaders as they carry this important work forward. The future of our children and our nation depends on getting education right.

See below for some of the recent victories in beheading this monster that’s been harming American children for 46 years, due to the great work of Secretary Linda McMahon.

Patriots, thank God for the brave men and women of the FBI who just stopped a serious threat in its tracks.

On June 16, 2026, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that federal agents disrupted an alleged plot targeting Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s 80th birthday. Multiple individuals are now in custody after a rapid, multi-state operation.

According to court filings and law enforcement sources, the plotters discussed using explosive-laden drones to create panic in the crowd, followed by snipers targeting people as they fled, and even a possible attempt to storm the White House gates. The FBI learned of the threat on June 10 and moved quickly to stop it cold.

This is a sobering reminder that political violence remains a real danger in our country. President Trump has faced unprecedented hatred and threats since he first came down the escalator in 2015. The radical left’s rhetoric has poisoned too many minds, leading some to believe that violence is justified against those they disagree with.

The fact that this plot targeted a celebratory event honoring America and our President shows how deeply divided and dangerous parts of our society have become. We must reject this hatred and stand firmly for the rule of law and peaceful political discourse.

At the same time, we should give thanks for the professionals who protect our leaders and our events. The swift action by the FBI, Secret Service, and DOJ prevented what could have been a national tragedy.

This incident should also cause every American to reflect. We cannot allow the kind of inflammatory language and conspiracy thinking that leads disturbed individuals to plot violence. Whether from the left or the right, such rhetoric must be condemned.

President Trump has repeatedly called for unity and peace while promising to restore law and order. Events like this show why that message is so important.

Let us pray for the safety of our President, his family, and all those who serve our nation. Let us also pray for healing in our divided country.

The rule of law must prevail. Those responsible for this plot must face full accountability. And all of us must recommit to resolving our differences through votes and debate, not violence.

]]><![CDATA[Saving Europe]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/saving-europehttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/saving-europeMon, 08 Jun 2026 15:48:03 GMT

Brothers and sisters, let me speak to you from the heart like an old eagle watching over his family.

Europe is in trouble — deep, serious trouble. The continent that gave the world so much of Western civilization, the rule of law, human rights, and the Christian faith that shaped it is slowly losing itself. The latest from the Gatestone Institute lays it out plain: Europe is at a crossroads, and the path it chooses in the next few years will decide whether it survives as the Europe we have known or becomes something unrecognizable.

The problems are not hidden. They are in plain sight. Europe’s birth rates have collapsed. Native European populations are shrinking. At the same time, mass migration from cultures that do not share Europe’s Christian heritage or commitment to individual liberty has changed entire neighborhoods, cities, and even countries. Parallel societies have formed. Crime rates in many places have risen. Free speech is under attack. And political leaders often seem more interested in managing decline than in reversing it.

This is not hatred or bigotry to say these things. It is honesty. When a civilization stops having children, stops teaching its own history and values, and opens its doors without any expectation of assimilation, it is inviting its own transformation — and often its own destruction.

Europe’s leaders have spent decades pretending that unlimited migration, multiculturalism, and the steady erosion of national identity would somehow create a stronger, more vibrant continent. Instead, we see rising social tensions, no-go zones in major cities, and a growing loss of confidence in the very idea of Europe. Churches are closing or being converted. Christmas markets require heavy security. Schools in some areas teach more about foreign cultures than their own heritage. This is not progress. This is cultural surrender.

The good news is that more Europeans are waking up. Political movements in Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, France, and elsewhere are pushing back. They are saying “enough” to open borders, to loss of sovereignty, and to the idea that Europe must apologize for its own existence. They understand that a nation without borders is not a nation. A people without a shared identity and shared values cannot long survive.

But the hour is late. Demographic trends move slowly but relentlessly. Once a native population falls below replacement level for decades, it is extremely difficult to recover without massive cultural and policy changes. Europe needs a spiritual and cultural revival. It needs to rediscover the Christian faith that built it. It needs to value families and children again. And it needs leaders with the courage to say that not all cultures are equal when it comes to building free and prosperous societies.

America should watch Europe closely. We are not immune. Many of the same forces — declining birth rates, mass migration without assimilation, elite hostility to traditional values — are at work here too. What happens in Europe today can happen in America tomorrow if we are not vigilant.

This is why we must have honest conversations. Not out of hatred, but out of love for our own civilization and for future generations. Europe’s struggle is a warning and a call to action for all of us who cherish the Judeo-Christian foundation of the West.

I encourage every reader to think deeply about this. Talk about it with your family and friends. Share this post. And most importantly, let’s have a real conversation in the comments below on Substack. What do you see happening in Europe? What lessons should America learn? How can we pray and act wisely in our own time?

The West was built on courage, faith, and truth. We cannot survive by abandoning those things. Europe’s story is still being written. So is ours. Let us learn from their mistakes before it is too late.

]]><![CDATA[Preparation for D-Day]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/preparation-for-d-dayhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/preparation-for-d-daySat, 06 Jun 2026 23:28:56 GMTLet me tell you a story, friends—one that still stirs the heart of every American who loves this land and the God-given freedoms we hold dear. Imagine it’s early 1944. The world is locked in a fight for its very soul. Across the Atlantic, in the green fields of England, young men from farms in Georgia, factories in Michigan, and ranches out West are gathering by the millions. They’re far from home, training day and night, knowing that soon they’ll board ships and head straight into the teeth of Hitler’s fortress Europe. Mothers and fathers back home prayed harder than ever, wondering if their boys would come back. Leaders carried the weight of the free world on their shoulders.

Now pause and picture what our world might look like today if D-Day had never happened—or worse, if it had failed. Hitler’s Fortress Europe stands unbroken. No strong second front. A darker future with tyranny stretching longer and liberty dimmed for generations. Those boys on the beaches didn’t just win a battle—they helped save the future we too often take for granted. That’s the enormous weight they carried across those stormy oceans.

The Decision to Invade and the Man Chosen to Lead – Partners, Competitors, and the Cost of Egos

The big decision to invade Europe across the English Channel didn’t happen overnight. In May 1943, at the Trident Conference in Washington, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill committed to a cross-Channel invasion in 1944—Operation Overlord. They knew a direct assault on Hitler’s “Fortress Europe” was the only way to open a true second front. Normandy was chosen over the more obvious Pas de Calais because it offered better beaches for landing, room to build up forces once ashore, and—crucially—the element of surprise.

Hitler and the German High Command were absolutely convinced the main blow would come at Pas de Calais—the shortest crossing across the Channel. They poured millions of tons of concrete into massive fortifications there as part of the Atlantic Wall. By D-Day, the Germans had used enough concrete and steel to build the equivalent of hundreds of massive buildings. That deep belief kept their best divisions and heaviest defenses pinned down far from Normandy, even after the landings began. Our deception operations helped reinforce that mistake, but the Germans’ own expectations gave us the opening we needed.

In December 1943, Roosevelt named General Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force. Why Ike? He wasn’t the flashiest, but he had a rare gift for forging unity among strong-willed leaders from different nations. He’d proven himself in North Africa and Italy, keeping complex operations on track and allies working together.

Ike’s partners were a powerhouse team: British General Bernard Montgomery commanded ground forces—brilliant but often prickly. Air Chief Marshal Tedder served as deputy. Admiral Bertram Ramsay handled the naval arm. Americans like Omar Bradley and the fiery George Patton brought drive and boldness. Free French leaders like Charles de Gaulle added their own complexities.

But oh, the competitors and big egos! Rivalries ran hot. Montgomery clashed with the Americans over strategy and glory. Patton’s boldness sometimes strained the chain of command. Other capable generals felt passed over. Internal warfare—petty jealousies, turf battles, and bruised pride—cost precious time and energy and nearly derailed the alliance more than once. Ike spent as much time soothing ruffled feathers and knocking heads together as planning the invasion itself. That’s the hidden cost of coalition warfare: unity isn’t natural; it’s hard-won through patience, firm leadership, and swallowing pride for the greater cause. Ike’s steady hand showed what real leadership looks like—not flashy commands, but holding strong personalities together for freedom’s sake.

The War in the Sky: From the Blitz to Allied Air Supremacy

Early on, it was the Germans attacking England. The brutal Battle of Britain in 1940 saw the RAF stand almost alone against the Luftwaffe’s bombers and fighters. The “Few” saved the island, but the fight continued.

Then the Americans came. From 1942 onward, the U.S. Eighth Air Force joined the RAF in a massive strategic bombing campaign.

Flying Fortresses and Liberators poured out of American factories and were flown across the Atlantic to Europe by courageous women pilots.

The organization of women who ferried bombers and other aircraft from the US to Europe was the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), along with its predecessor organizations, the Women’s Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) and the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS). These brave ladies delivered thousands of aircraft, freeing up male pilots for combat duty.

By day these American bombers pounded German factories, airfields, and rail lines, while the British hammered by night. By early 1944, under Eisenhower’s direction, these air forces had crippled the Luftwaffe, destroyed transportation networks in France, and won hard-won air superiority. On D-Day itself, thousands of Allied planes provided cover, dropped paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne, and isolated the battlefield. This invisible shield in the sky made the sea invasion possible. Think of those bomber crews flying missions at 20,000 feet, facing flak and fighters—courage at altitude that turned the tide.

The Massive Build-Up: Logistics, Training, Ships, and Deception

The numbers still boggle the mind. Nearly 3 million Allied troops crammed into southern England. They needed everything—food, fuel, ammunition, vehicles, and even artificial harbors called Mulberries.

And here’s something we must never forget: World War II was won, to a large degree, in the factories across America. While the boys trained and the planners schemed, American industry—the mighty Arsenal of Democracy—worked miracles. Auto plants switched from cars to tanks and aircraft. Shipyards turned out Liberty ships at a record pace. Factories produced that torrent of American-made steel and thunder that the Germans simply couldn’t match, no matter how hard they tried. Hundreds of thousands of aircraft, tens of thousands of tanks, and millions of tons of supplies flowed across the ocean. That overwhelming industrial power gave our troops the tools they needed to fight and win.

Over 7,000 vessels gathered, including thousands of landing craft, from British yards and America’s factories. Ships came from ports across Britain, assembled in massive convoys.

Training was relentless—amphibious landings on English beaches mimicking Normandy, paratrooper night drops, engineers practicing obstacle clearance. And the deception? Operation Bodyguard, with Fortitude as the star, used fake armies, inflatable tanks, dummy landing craft, and radio chatter to convince the Germans the main attack would hit Pas de Calais. It worked brilliantly.

The armies represented Americans, British, Canadians, Free French, and more—united in purpose despite differences.

The Human Side: Soldiers, Commanders, and the Home Front

Picture a young GI from the heartland, seasick on a landing craft, rifle in hand, thinking of home. British Tommies who’d fought for years. Eisenhower paced, knowing he’d bear the blame if it failed—he even drafted a note taking full responsibility. The home front sacrificed with rationing, Victory Gardens, women stepping into factories, and churches full of prayer.

Choosing the Beaches and the Invasion Plan

The five beaches—Utah and Omaha (American), Gold and Sword (British), Juno (Canadian)—came after long debate. Normandy’s terrain, tides, and airborne drop zones won out. Omaha’s steep bluffs made it the toughest; the 1st and 29th Divisions paid dearly there. Personalities like Bradley and Montgomery argued details, but in the end, they trusted the plan and Providence.

Faith and Courage in the Crucible

As the fleet crossed the Channel, courage was rooted in something deeper. Eisenhower’s Order of the Day called it a “great crusade.” Many carried Bibles. It echoes Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” That faith — and the humble unity called for in 2 Chronicles 7:14 — sustained them through machine guns and artillery.

Lessons for Today: Preparation, Unity, and Standing for Freedom

Eighty-plus years later, what does this mean? Preparation matters—build, train, and pray with the long view. Unity in purpose despite differences. Courage to act when called. We need ordinary folks rising with faith and patriotism, much like the vision in One Million Charlie Kirks.

Let’s Carry the Torch Forward

Friends, D-Day wasn’t the end—it was the beginning of Europe’s liberation. But we must learn and remember, because the attacks on Europe aren’t over. The old enemy that Charles Martel turned back at the Battle of Tours in 732—Islamic forces seeking to sweep across Christendom—rises again through demographic shifts, unchecked migration, and cultural erosion. England and France, proud nations that stood with us in 1944, now face neighborhoods transformed and freedoms tested in ways that would shock their wartime generations.

We cannot afford to forget the price of preparation, unity, and courage. Just as those boys answered the call, we must stand today—for our faith, families, republic, and the West’s Christian heritage. That’s the legacy worth fighting for.

Brothers and sisters, let me speak to you plainly, the way an old eagle talks to his family.

Just 90 miles south of Florida lies the island of Cuba — a once-beautiful land now held captive for 67 years by a communist dictatorship. For most of our lives, Cuba has been a problem. But something far more dangerous is happening right now.

U.S. intelligence reports show Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones — many of them deadly Shahed-style kamikaze drones from Iran and Russia. Even worse, advisers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are on the ground in Cuba helping them learn how to use these weapons.

This is not random. This is Iran deliberately winding up Cuba to create trouble for the United States in our own backyard.

Who Is the IRGC?

For those who may not follow news from the Middle East closely, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is the most aggressive terrorist-supporting arm of the Iranian regime. They don’t fight fair wars with regular armies. Instead, they use sneaky methods — proxies, drones, and hidden operations — to hurt stronger enemies without starting a full-scale war.

You’ve seen their work before:

  • Hezbollah in Lebanon

  • The Houthis in Yemen

  • Hamas in Gaza

After taking hard hits from U.S. and Israeli strikes earlier this year, Iran is looking for new ways to tie down America and distract us. Cuba is the perfect proxy to bring that same trouble right to our doorstep.

Cuba’s Dangerous Game

Cuba is broke, desperate, and more closely tied than ever to America’s enemies. The regime knows the United States has powerful surveillance and strike ability in the region — we’ve been watching them 24/7 since the 1962 Missile Crisis. Yet they continue taking Iranian drones and IRGC advisers.

When reports came out about possible attacks on Guantanamo Bay or targets in Florida, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel quickly denied them. This is classic plausible deniability. The top leaders want the weapons and the threat, but they don’t want to get hit hard by America right now. Meanwhile, the hardliners and IRGC keep pushing.

U.S. intelligence says Cuban officials have talked about using these drones against:

  • Naval Station Guantanamo Bay

  • U.S. ships in the Caribbean

  • Possibly targets in South Florida, including Key West

Key West is only about 90 miles from Cuba — closer than Miami is to Key West.

What Should We Do?

This is serious, but we should not be afraid. The God who delivered Israel from Pharaoh and protected this nation through many dangers is still on the throne.

We must pray without ceasing. We should support strong, wise leadership that puts American security first. We need clear red lines and firm action against threats in our own hemisphere.

Most of all, we should remember the suffering people of Cuba — many of them our brothers and sisters in Christ — who long for freedom after decades of oppression.

The dragon may be stirring 90 miles away, but our God is greater. Let us stand firm, pray boldly, and trust the Lord to protect this covenant nation.

Patriots across the pond, pay attention — this is huge! In the UK local elections on May 8, 2026, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party delivered a political earthquake. Reform made massive gains, winning over 1,400 council seats, taking control of multiple councils, and crushing both Labour and the Conservatives in their traditional strongholds. Farage is calling it a “truly historic shift” in British politics. While Labour under Keir Starmer suffered devastating losses and the Conservatives continued their decline, Reform UK emerged as the big winner. This shows that millions of British voters are fed up with open borders, high taxes, woke policies, and out-of-touch elites. The old two-party system that has dominated Britain for decades is breaking apart. People are waking up and demanding real change — secure borders, lower taxes, and putting their own citizens first. What’s happening in Britain is a warning and an inspiration for America and the entire West.

The Virginia Supreme Court just handed Democrats another self-inflicted wound by striking down their sneaky attempt to rig congressional districts. In a 4-3 ruling on May 8, 2026, the court threw out a voter-approved constitutional amendment that would have let the Democrat-controlled legislature redraw the state’s congressional map mid-decade in their favor. Why did it fail? Because Democrats couldn’t even follow their own rules when they tried to ram the amendment through. They skipped required steps, violated procedural requirements, and tried to bypass the constitution. The court said “no” — the amendment was invalid. This is the latest example of the left’s inability to play by the rules. They could have won fairly, but instead they tried to cheat the process and ended up with nothing. It’s a pattern we see over and over: Democrats push dishonest tactics, get caught, and then cry foul when the courts enforce the law. (98 words)

]]><![CDATA[Breaking News: Social Security ]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/breaking-news-social-securityhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/breaking-news-social-securityMon, 04 May 2026 16:10:56 GMTPatriots, the truth is finally breaking through the noise. For decades, politicians from both parties have treated Social Security like a sacred cow that no one dares criticize. But the cold, hard reality is that this massive program has been operating exactly like a classic Ponzi scheme — and Milton Friedman, one of the greatest economists in history, called it “the biggest Ponzi scheme on Earth” back in 1999.

Here’s how it works: current workers pay into the system through payroll taxes, but that money isn’t saved or invested for their own future retirement. It’s immediately spent to pay benefits to today’s retirees. The system only stays afloat as long as more young workers keep coming in to pay for the older ones. Sound familiar? That’s the very definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Now Elon Musk, in his powerful appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, laid it out plain for millions of Americans to hear: “Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” He explained that the money going in is immediately paid out, while the government’s real obligation to future retirees keeps growing into the tens of trillions of dollars. Another powerful video breaks down the numbers with clear text overlays, showing how the unfunded liabilities now exceed $50 trillion when you include Medicare and other entitlements.

The second video also highlights how politicians have kicked the can down the road for generations, promising benefits they can never deliver without massive tax increases, benefit cuts, or printing money that destroys the dollar. Meanwhile, younger Americans are being told they’ll have to work longer, pay more, and get less — if they get anything at all.

This isn’t just an accounting problem. It’s a moral crisis. We’ve been lying to our children and grandchildren about a “trust fund” that doesn’t exist. The money was spent long ago on other government programs. Now the bills are coming due, and the only way the system has survived this long is by depending on a growing population and ever-higher taxes. That model is collapsing as birth rates fall and more Americans retire.

The good news? People like Elon Musk and Senator Ron Johnson are finally forcing the conversation into the open. The Hoover Institution has been sounding the alarm for years. The American people are waking up. We can no longer afford the lies. Real reform — whether through personal accounts, raising the retirement age, or means-testing — must happen. The longer we wait, the more painful the correction will be.

This is one of the greatest financial deceptions ever perpetrated on the American people. It’s time to face reality, tell the truth, and fix it before it destroys the next generation. (478 words)

    Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman explains how Social Security functions as a Ponzi scheme: current workers’ taxes pay current retirees instead of being saved for their own benefits. He argues the system creates massive unfunded liabilities and calls for voluntary participation and full privatization.

President Trump is once again callin’ on Senate Republicans to do what should have been done long ago: get rid of the filibuster before the Democrats do it the minute they regain power. He’s warnin’ that playin’ nice with the 60-vote rule is only hurtin’ America while the radical left waits to ram through their extreme agenda the second they get the chance. The filibuster has become a tool that lets a tiny minority block the will of the people and stop real conservative priorities like border security, election integrity, and cuttin’ wasteful spendin’. Trump says “DO NOT BE STUPID!!!” — end it now while Republicans hold the Senate so we can actually deliver on the promises we made to the American people. If we don’t, the Dems will nuke it the first chance they get and we’ll be the ones stuck with their socialist wishlist. This is a make-or-break moment for the Republic.

I urge y'all, all of y’all to get in your Senator's face about this - I can't, thanks to election fraud, Georgia hasn't had a Senator for several years now.

]]><![CDATA[Big Win for Fair Maps in Louisiana!]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/big-win-for-fair-maps-in-louisianahttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/big-win-for-fair-maps-in-louisianaFri, 01 May 2026 13:07:46 GMT Patriots, this is excellent news comin’ out of the Bayou State! The U.S. Supreme Court just delivered a major victory for common sense and fair elections. In a landmark ruling, the Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional map that created a second majority-Black district, callin’ it an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Governor Jeff Landry wasted no time — he’s movin’ fast to redraw the districts and even delayed the upcoming House primaries so the state legislature can get it right.

For years, activist courts and left-wing groups have forced states to draw districts based mainly on race instead of communities, compact shapes, and traditional redistricting principles. The Supreme Court finally said enough is enough: race cannot be the main factor when drawin’ maps. This decision protects the Voting Rights Act’s original intent while stoppin’ the abuse of it for political gain.

In Louisiana, Republicans hold a strong majority in the state legislature and Governor’s office. Redrawin’ the map gives them a chance to create fairer, more compact districts that better reflect the state’s actual population and voting patterns. This could mean stronger Republican representation in Congress — somethin’ the people of Louisiana clearly support.

The left is already cryin’ foul, callin’ it “voter suppression,” but the truth is simple: fair maps based on geography and population — not race — are what the Constitution demands. Governor Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are leadin’ the charge to fix this quickly before the 2026 midterms. Other states will be watchin’ closely. This ruling is a big step toward endin’ the racial politics that have divided our nation for too long. Americans want elections decided by voters, not by race-based map drawin’. Louisiana is leadin’ the way!

]]><![CDATA[Breaking News: Deep-State Cover-Up of COVID Origins Finally Cracking Wide Open — David Morens Indicted!]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/breaking-news-deep-state-cover-uphttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/breaking-news-deep-state-cover-upThu, 30 Apr 2026 16:15:41 GMTPatriots, the chickens are finally comin’ home to roost! For years we’ve been told the COVID-19 pandemic just “happened” naturally, and anyone askin’ questions about a lab leak or gain-of-function research was called a conspiracy theorist. Now the truth is smashin’ through like a sledgehammer. On April 28, 2026, the Department of Justice indicted Dr. David Morens — a top senior advisor to Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — for conspiracy, destruction of federal records, and deliberately hidin’ evidence related to the origins of the virus.

This isn’t some low-level clerk. Morens was right in the inner circle helpin’ Fauci shape the entire public narrative. He and his co-conspirators allegedly used personal Gmail accounts to dodge Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, deleted official records, and worked behind the scenes to protect EcoHealth Alliance and risky virus research in China. At the same time, Senator Ron Johnson and federal investigators have been teamin’ up to expose how the Biden administration actively covered up inconvenient facts about the virus origins, vaccine safety signals, and the role of U.S.-funded research in Wuhan.

These new revelations prove what many of us suspected all along: powerful people in our own government knew far more than they told the American people — and they went to great lengths to hide it. While families lost loved ones, businesses were destroyed, and kids were masked and isolated for years, bureaucrats were playin’ games with emails and records to protect their own agendas and funding. This wasn’t just incompetence. This was a deliberate effort to control the story, suppress debate, and shield themselves from accountability.

The indictment of Morens is a massive crack in the dam. It shows the deep state is no longer untouchable. Senator Johnson’s relentless work, combined with the new Trump administration’s commitment to transparency, is finally bringin’ sunlight to the darkest corners of the COVID response. The American people deserve the full truth — not just about where the virus came from, but about every decision that turned a health crisis into a national nightmare. This is bigger than one indictment. It’s about restorin’ trust in our institutions and holdin’ the powerful accountable for once. The cover-up is collapsin’, and justice is finally catchin’ up.

New documents just declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard prove what we’ve said all along — the whole 2019 impeachment of President Trump was a rigged deep-state scam from the start. The “whistleblower” complaint that kicked everything off was full of secondhand hearsay, hidden political ties to Democrats and Joe Biden, and rushed through by insiders who knew the truth but pushed it anyway. These papers show the Intelligence Community and House Democrats manufactured a crisis to try and remove a duly elected president. It’s not just politics — it was a coordinated attack on our Republic. The truth is finally comin’ out, and the American people deserve to see every bit of it. No more cover-ups!

]]><![CDATA[Wow, What a Big Surprise!]]>https://www.covenantnation.org/p/wow-what-a-big-surprise-d3fhttps://www.covenantnation.org/p/wow-what-a-big-surprise-d3fWed, 15 Apr 2026 21:37:24 GMTBrother, here’s the hard truth patriots have known for years: you cannot make a lasting peace with people who are religiously encouraged to lie to you. The Iranian regime just proved it again. In the latest round of so-called “negotiations,” the mullahs are usin’ the same old playbook they’ve followed for decades. They smile, promise moderation, and sign papers — all while plannin’ the next round of terror, nuclear cheat, and proxy wars. This is called taqiyya — the Islamic doctrine of deception that lets Muslims hide their true intentions when dealin’ with non-Muslims. It ain’t a conspiracy theory; it’s straight out of their own religious law. The Gatestone Institute lays it out plain: every time the West thinks it has a “deal” with Tehran, the mullahs use taqiyya to buy time, rebuild strength, and strike later. History shows it over and over. Agreements with Islamists are never about peace — they’re about survivin’ until they’re strong enough to win. And that’s exactly why President Trump and every clear-eyed American must approach these talks with eyes wide open and ironclad verification, or we’ll get burned again.

  • Original article — 2026-04-11, Gatestone Institute, Negotiating With Tehran: The Danger of Diplomacy
    Dr. Majid Rafizadeh warns that negotiating with Iran is extremely dangerous because the regime uses diplomacy as a tactical pause, not a real change of heart. He explains that the mullahs follow the Islamic principle of taqiyya — religiously required deceit to further Islam when it appears threatened. Iran’s politicians may sound reasonable, but the real power lies with the IRGC, which controls terror networks and the nuclear program. Past deals like the 2015 JCPOA failed because the regime hid activities, delayed compliance, and waited for political winds to shift. Any agreement must demand total, verifiable, irreversible steps — no phased relief, no trust-based promises — or the mullahs will simply regroup and resume their aggression.

  • Related article 1 — 2025-06-09, The Ettinger Report, Beware of the Ayatollah Regime’s Negotiation Tactics
    Yoram Ettinger details how the Iranian regime has mastered 1,400-year-old Islamic negotiation tactics, led by taqiyya (dissimulation), khodeh (trickery), kitman (partial truth), and taarof (polite ambiguity). These are not personal quirks — they are religiously sanctioned tools used when facing a stronger power. Khomeini and Khamenei have openly used them to mislead the West, sign temporary deals, and then break them when convenient. Ettinger shows that while the West seeks binding reconciliation, the mullahs seek only tentative pauses to regroup. Any “agreement” is viewed as a battlefield tactic, not a moral commitment.

  • Related article 2 — 2025-06-18, The Times of Israel Blogs, Built to Deceive: Why Iran Can’t Make a Real Deal
    The article explains that taqiyya is baked into the Islamic Republic’s foreign policy. Khamenei himself has cited it as the reason Iran entered the 2015 nuclear deal — not to end its program, but to survive pressure and later resume it. In Shi’a revolutionary doctrine, the greater the outside pressure, the more religiously valuable taqiyya becomes. The piece warns that the regime is structurally incapable of honest, lasting agreements because deception is a core survival strategy. Western diplomats keep hoping for moderation, but the system is built to deceive until it can dominate.

  • Related article 3 — 2026-04-10 (approx.), NuPeaceAndWarCenter Substack, The Politics of Denial: Taqiyya, Ketman and Iran’s Israel Policy
    This analysis shows how taqiyya and ketman (concealment) have become official tools of Iranian statecraft. What Tehran tells Western negotiators is often the opposite of what it does on the ground. The regime presents a moderate face in talks while funding terror proxies and advancing its nuclear goals in secret. The article stresses that ignoring this doctrine leads to repeated failed agreements that only strengthen the mullahs. Lasting peace is impossible as long as deception is a religious duty rather than a sin.
