MUST-SEE: Air Traffic Controller Offers Prayer for Trump Force One During Takeoff:

In an extraordinary moment, a heartfelt prayer was offered by an air traffic controller for former President Donald Trump’s plane, Trump Force One, as it departed Milwaukee early Friday morning.

This rare event occurred after Trump and former First Lady Melania concluded their presence at the Republican National Convention and Trump’s recent assassination attempt last week.

Former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump left Milwaukee at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Friday.

They boarded Trump Force One, the nickname given to the Trump Organization’s Boeing 757, drawing a parallel to the official U.S. presidential aircraft, Air Force One.
 
As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, an unusual event unfolded. ​An air traffic controller took a moment to recite a prayer from the Bible, specifically Numbers 6:24-26, over the radio to Trump Force One.

The prayer states: 
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.”

The extraordinary moment was shared on social media by Dan Scavino Jr., a Senior Advisor to Donald Trump. Scavino posted the audio of the prayer on his X account, allowing the public to witness this uncommon interaction between an air traffic controller and a former president’s aircraft.

If we are still here and Trump becomes president again, he should end the FBI and many other agencies and start them fresh.

Franklin Graham Prays at Republican Convention: ‘Our Nation Is In Trouble’:

Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, offered brief remarks and a prayer for the nation during the closing night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, acknowledging God’s hand in the provisions He has given to the United States.

“Sadly,” Franklin prayed, “as a nation we have forgotten who is responsible for all the freedoms, the liberties and the bounty that we enjoy. It has all come from You. Thank You.”

Also acknowledging that “all authority comes from You,” he prayed: “You are a great God, and we ask that if it be Thy will, that You’ll make America great once again.” 

Addressing the convention in brief remarks, Franklin noted that former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, had a “near-death experience” in surviving an assassin’s bullet the previous Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Franklin used the moment to share the hope of the Gospel.

“God spared his life. And when we go through those experiences, it changes us. It could cause us to examine our lives and to reevaluate our priorities—as you should. … I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken. I don’t have the answer for that. But one thing I do know is that God loves us and He wants us to be with Him in Heaven one day. And that’s through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. You see, the Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shouldn’t perish, but should have everlasting life.”

In his prayer, Franklin again referenced the shooting, which claimed the life of 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief and father of two daughters, one of whom wrote that her dad “loved Jesus fiercely.”

“Thank You for saving the life of President Donald J. Trump,” Franklin prayed. “In his own words, it was You and You alone who saved him. We pray for the others that were injured on Saturday and for the family who lost their loved one. Put Your loving arms around them. Comfort them, and may they sense Your presence.”

Lamenting that “our nation is in trouble,’ Franklin continued, “We’re divided politically, racially, economically, with millions of people seeking refuge and hope in our dry and thirsty land. You’re the only one who can fix the complexity of the problems that we face today.

“We pray for President Trump, that You would give him wisdom, strength and a clear vision for the future of this nation and the task that is at hand. Continue to protect him from his enemies. I pray that You would surround him with men and women who will give him sound counsel and guidance.”

Franklin also prayed for former First Lady Melania Trump, the Trump children and grandchildren, and for vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha.

“As Your Word instructs, we also pray for the leaders of our nation, whether they’re Republican, Democrat or Independent. … We ask that You’ll unite our hearts. Bring us together, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, and we pray this in the mighty Name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. Amen.”

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Resigns:

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on Tuesday, a day after a bruising congressional hearing where she was unable or unwilling to answer many key questions from lawmakers on the failure of the agency to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

During the House Oversight Committee hearing, she admitted the nearly-successful assassination attempt against Trump at a July 13 Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was the “most significant operational failure” in the agency’s history in “decades.”

Despite this, she repeatedly refused to consider resigning — even telling lawmakers that she believed she was the “best person” for the lead job at that time. By the end of the three-hour hearing, the committee’s chairman and top Democrat, in addition to a number of its members, both called for her resignation after the hearing.

Exclusive — JD Vance on Democrats Ousting Joe Biden: ‘Insanely Anti-Democratic,’ ‘Quite Dark’ that Elites Have Such Power, Disregard for Voters:

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican nominee for vice president, told Breitbart News on Monday that Democrat elites ousting President Joe Biden as their party’s presidential nominee just over 100 days before the election is “insanely anti-democratic” and “quite dark.”

Vance, who was announced as GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s running mate at the Republican National Convention on July 15, said in a phone interview on Monday afternoon before his hometown rally in Middletown, Ohio, that Democrat elites are proving that Democrats are the true threat to democracy in America with this move.

“Whatever we think about Joe Biden — and I certainly don’t like him or like his policies — they effectively removed the president because he became a political liability, and they gave voters no choice in the outcome,” Vance told Breitbart News. “It’s actually quite dark if you think about it: A bunch of billionaires and Democratic politicians getting together in a room, deciding to deprive voters of the choice of who would be the nominee of the Democratic Party. It’s really anti-democratic, and it’s hysterical that after years of saying Republicans are the anti-democracy party... Whoever the Democrats ultimately nominate, there is no democratic legitimacy because voters were not consulted. They were never given the opportunity to participate in this process, and I think it’s extraordinarily insulting to them and to everybody to think we could have somebody who has an approximately 50-50 chance of becoming president of the United States who voters have never weighed in on.”

More than 14 million Democrats voted for Biden, and their votes have been erased now with the push to get him out of the race.  Vance told Breitbart News. “What they did instead is they got Barack Obama, George Clooney, and George Soros in a room and decided to toss Biden aside because he was a political liability and try to install somebody else. It’s an insanely elitist and anti-democratic process. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like this in the history of our Republic where they have identified a political weakness on the president then threw him aside without giving voters the opportunity to weigh in.”

Asked what he makes of Biden remaining the president but having no public events scheduled for the upcoming week, Vance said this whole thing is really “creepy.”    "... I think that if you actually respect voters and you respect the process we have, they should get to make these decisions — not George Soros, George Clooney, and Barack Obama sitting in a smoke-filled room.”

Netanyahu tells Congress ‘Our Fight Is Your Fight’; Thanks Trump in Address:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful speech to a special joint session of Congress on Wednesday, reminding the chamber that the U.S. has a stake in Israel’s fight against Hamas and Hezbollah terror.

“Our enemies are your enemies, our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory,” Netanyahu said.

He recalled the many attacks by Iran and its proxies against Americans and noted Iran’s intent to target America after controlling the Middle East. In defending itself, he said, Israel was defending the United States as well.

 
Netanyahu, who was received with a standing ovation, began his address by acknowledging the Israeli hostages and their families, and by honoring Israeli soldiers in the gallery, — including Ethiopian and Muslim soldiers, and soldiers who, though wounded, returned to the fight.

He rebuked anti-Israel protesters, alluding to the thousands who had gathered outside the Capitol, noting that they stood with Hamas and with “evil.”

Those protesters who held signs saying “gays for Gaza,” he said, may as well have said “Chickens for KFC,” a reference to the Islamic fundamentalism of Hamas, which persecutes and even executes gays and lesbians.

In the audience sat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who wore a keffiyeh and held signs — “Guilty of Genocide”; “War Criminal” — in protest.

Later, he urged the U.S. to move quickly on military aid: “Fast-tracking U.S. military aid could expedite an end to the war in Gaza, and help prevent a broader war in the Middle East.” Left unsaid: Biden has held back some aid, formally and informally, leading Netanyahu to criticize the administration openly last month.

Netanyahu laid out his vision for “total victory” in the war in Gaza, which included the defeat of Hamas and the return of the Israeli hostages. After the war, he said, he envisioned a “demilitarized and de-radicalized Gaza.” He earned applause when he said that Israel would retain security control of the Gaza Strip to prevent another October 7. 

He also proposed a new alliance in the Middle East, a “natural extension of the groundbreaking Abraham Accords.” Called the “Abraham Alliance,” he said, the new group, uniting Israel and the Sunni Arab states, could promote regional security and prosperity.

Netanyahu thanked Biden again for building such an alliance in the Red Sea in his efforts to thwart the Houthis, whom he noted Israel had attacked after a drone attack last week against Tel Aviv.

The prime minister then offered effusive praise for former President Donald Trump and his support for Israel, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and forging the Abraham Accords. Netanyahu’s praise for Trump was notably much longer than his praise for President Biden.

In closing, Netanyahu returned to his core message, which is that Israel’s fight against Iran and its proxies is also America’s fight and that Israel is grateful for the aid that the United States provides to Israel in that fight.

The speech, described by pundits afterward as “masterful,” was extremely well-received, with many standing ovations — including from supporters of Israel like Elon Musk, who joined spectators in the gallery.

Secret Service ‘Still Looking Into’ Who Was Providing Overwatch of Building Used by Shooter:

Ex-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle before she resigned on Tuesday said during a congressional hearing the day before that the service was “still looking into” who was responsible for providing overwatch for the building used by the Trump shooter.

“What I can tell you is that there was a plan in place to provide overwatch and we are still looking into responsibilities and who was going to provide overwatch,” Cheatle said on Monday to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).

However, on Monday, after Cheatle’s testimony, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed that whistleblowers told him that law enforcement personnel were stationed on the roof that day but had “abandoned it, citing the heat.” They added that law enforcement were supposed to be patrolling the building, but opted to stay inside instead.

Exclusive: Jim Jordan and Tom McClintock Demand Answers on Taxpayer Funds Used for Housing Illegal Immigrants:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (R-CA) are demanding answers on the use of taxpayer dollars being used to house illegal aliens via Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), according to letters first obtained by Breitbart News.

“Given the nation’s housing crisis posed by the failing Biden-Harris economy and the Biden-Harris Administration’s facilitation of additional alien entries into the country, the Committee is conducting oversight over HHS ORR’s apparent prioritization of refugees, parolees, and other aliens over U.S. citizens and other legal residents."

Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake is among those who have sounded the alarm over this issue, telling Breitbart News at the Republican National Convention last week that rent has doubled in many locations — another negative impact of illegal immigration directly affecting the American people.

“They [illegal immigrants] have to live somewhere, and the government’s putting them up — sometimes hotels, sometimes they’re giving them subsidies for apartments. Even if they’re not … we’re having to compete for those apartments with them,” she explained.

“And when you have only so much supply and you have so much demand, prices go up. That’s exactly why housing is unaffordable for young people,” she continued, explaining that many young people tell her they do not see a future where they can “own homes to have a backyard for dogs to run around and have the ability to get married, afford to be married with children.”

“And it saddens them. They want that. They want that American dream,” Lake added.

Kamala Cover Up: GovTrack Deletes Website Ranking Harris as 2019’s ‘Most Liberal Senator’:

A 2019 GovTrack score that ranked Vice President Kamala Harris as the “most liberal senator” was recently deleted.  "...GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer said, “The page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we discontinued creating new single-calendar year ‘report cards.'” 

As Breitbart News reported, GovTrack published a list of 100 senators in 2019. Out of the senators, Harris was in the #100 spot and was viewed as being the most liberal senator.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) came in #99, right behind Harris.

This list has now been deleted, and when you attempt to go to the page, you find a “page not found” message.

Secret Service Threatens Trump: Stop Your Massive Rallies, Or Else:

The same agency that failed to protect former President Donald Trump from a would-be assassin’s bullet is now asking the GOP’s presidential candidate to stop holding large outdoor campaign rallies. The request from the grossly incompetent (at best) federal agency stinks of election interference and sounds a lot like a threat. 

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News that it “would be a shame” if the Secret Service shut down the outdoor rallies. 

“I think people enjoy going to them and I think, you know, you can get more people outdoors than indoors,” Comer said. “He attracts a big crowd, obviously. I think the president will do what the president wants to do.”

The Post devoted several column inches to what a burden Trump’s outdoor rallies have been for an agency that glaringly failed its mission to protect him. The Post’s narrative is anything but subtle: Trump — and his penchant for massive campaign rallies — is to blame for his near-assassination.

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said it’s ultimately up to the former president where and when to hold rallies.

“My advice to the campaign is to hire an independent security expert to oversee security provided by the Secret Service,” said Johnson, whose office is looking into the conduct of the agency.
