The vice president Mike Pence broke a tie on a Senate vote to overturn a regulation that protects the Planned Parenthood clinics
In the late days of December, the Obama administration made a last-ditch attempt to protect Planned Parenthood from the incoming Republican Congress. On Thursday, the Senate voted to overturn the Obama administration’s regulation, lifting restrictions on how states treat abortion providers and clearing the way for Congress to take further action. The House had already passed the measure, and the Senate needed only a simple majority to get it through. When the vote came to a tie, Vice President Mike Pence cast the final ballot, taking Congress one step closer to taking money away from abortion providers.
Here’s how it all works. Since 1970, the federal government has made grants to organizations that provide family-planning services under Title X of the Public Health Service Act; it’s the only federal program “focused solely on providing family planning,” according to the Department of Health and Human Services. The federal government can give money directly to health-care organizations, or it can award grants to states, which hand out the cash as they see fit. Although federal funds, including Medicaid, generally can’t be used to pay for abortions, some Title X money goes to abortion providers: In 2011, NPR reported that roughly a quarter of those dollars go to Planned Parenthood affiliates.
“Planned Parenthood Defunded”(VP Mike Pence Deciding Vote)
Some states have moved to stop that from happening.According to the December HHS regulation, 13 states have “taken actions to restrict participation by certain types of providers” since 2011, making rules “based on reasons other than the providers’ ability to provide Title X services.” Those “reasons,” of course, have to do with abortion: States like Arkansas bar federal funds from going to family-planning clinics that also end pregnancies.
The Obama administration’s regulation was designed to make sure abortion providers could continue getting Title X money.
It prohibits states from preventing money from going to certain organizations for reasons other than their ability to provide “Title X services.” These services might include counseling on contraception and STD prevention. Miscellaneous restrictions “hinder the program’s statutory mission,” the regulation argues, and adversely affect women and families.
President Obama Speaks at the Planned Parenthood Gala:
The people at Planned Parenthood who love to abort babies loved Barack Obama. Watch video to find out why…
This regulation was always a clear target for Republican members of Congress. It was issued in late December of 2016, after Democrats had lost the election; it places restrictions on states; and it protects abortion clinics. Congress has the legal authority to overturn regulations it dislikes under certain conditions, and this one came up early in this year’s session: 10 days after Inauguration, a resolution was introduced to overturn the HHS rule. The House easily passed it in February. And on Thursday, the Senate passed it as well.
The Senate’s vote wasn’t nearly as straightforward as the House’s. There were two Republican defectors: Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Maine’s Angus King and Vermont’s Bernie Sanders, both independents, also voted against it. No Democrats voted in favor of overturning the regulation. In the end, with 50 senators on each side and a simple majority needed to resolve the question, Vice President Pence was the one who decided it: As the president of the Senate, he has the authority to cast a vote in the case of a tie.
While the legislation has not yet been signed by the president, it seems clear that the White House supports it. After all, the second-in-command made a special trip to the Senate chambers just to see it through. This resolution doesn’t do anything to Planned Parenthood immediately, and future attempts could, unlike this bill, be subject to a Democratic filibuster. But it clears the way for more legislative action—and the inevitable attempts ahead to defund the abortion giant and other providers. source
The Trump administration is seeking contractors to help it overhaul the United States’ immigrant detention system in a plan that includes renovating industrial warehouses to hold more than 80,000 immigrant detainees at a time
Question: if you wanted to construct concentration camps all across America, but didn’t want people to think you were building such camps, how could you do it openly and publicly without arousing undue suspicion? You would say that these camps were being built to hold illegal immigrants that were being deported, and the crowd goes wild. But after you’ve deported a finite number of people, what would then become with the camps you spent billions of dollars to build? You would have to use them for something. Hmm, let me think for a minute, don’t tell me, I’ll get it.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)
Don’t get me wrong, like most of you, I am absolutely in favor of removing anyone and everyone who entered into our sovereign nation illegally, as long as it’s done as humanely as possible. That said, just about any student of 20th century history knows that when Adolf Hitler began using old military bases to house political dissidents, and that light bulb went off over his head, he knew right away he was onto something that could be easily sold to a gullible public. How about it, America, feeling gullible? If so, please applaud President Trump and his soon-coming concentration camps immigrant warehouses.
“First they came for the Communists, And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me.”
ICE documents reveal plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses
FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: Rather than shuttling detainees around the country to wherever detention space is available, as happens now, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement aims to speed up deportations by establishing a deliberate feeder system, the document says. Newly arrested detainees would be booked into processing sites for a few weeks before being funneled into one of seven large-scale warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people each, where they would be staged for deportation.
The large warehouses would be located close to major logistics hubs in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri. Sixteen smaller warehouses would hold up to 1,500 people each.
The draft solicitation is not final and is subject to changes. ICE plans to share it with private detention companies this week to gauge interest and refine the plan, according to an internal email reviewed by The Post. A formal request for bids could follow soon after that.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said she “cannot confirm” The Post’s reporting and declined to answer questions about the warehouse plan.
NBC and Bloomberg News previously reported on ICE’s internal discussions about using warehouses as detention centers. The full scope of the project, the locations of the facilities and other details contained in the solicitation have not been previously disclosed or reported.
The warehouse plan would be the next step in President Donald Trump’s campaign to detain and deport millions of immigrants, which began with a scramble to expand the nation’s immigrant detention system, the largest in the world. Armed with $45 billion Congress set aside for locking up immigrants, his administration this year revived dormant prisons, repurposed sections of military bases and partnered with Republican governors to build immigrant tent encampments in remote regions.
The administration has deported more than 579,000 people this year, border czar Tom Homan said earlier this month on the social media platform X. The new facilities will “maximize efficiency, minimize costs, shorten processing times, limit lengths of stay, accelerate the removal process and promote the safety, dignity and respect for all in ICE custody,” the solicitation said.
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror. The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.” READ MORE

President Trump Announces That The US Military Will Build ‘Trump Class’ Battleships The Largest Ever Created And They Will Be Named In Honor Of Himself
President Trump has commissioned a new fleet of battleships called ‘Trump Class’ named after himself and they’ll be the ‘deadliest warships ever built’
Donald Trump said today “America’s battleships have always been unmistakable symbols of national power. They’ll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry, & inspire fear in America’s enemies all over the world.” Calling them the ‘Golden Fleet’ he’s decided to name them after himself. Trump Class. I have never seen this level of narcissism and self-glorification in any elected leader, this is a first. Not even Barack Obama exhibited this level of pride, and that’s saying something. America First? Trump first.
“And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.”Daniel 11:36 (KJB)
Throughout his half-century career as a real estate mogul, Trump very much enjoyed naming everything he built after himself, and why not? It’s his company, and he’s certainly entitled to do that if he so chooses. But as the president of the United States, that same luxury should not be afforded to him to name things after himself. Having something named after you is usually reserved to honor those people after they have left office or passed away. But to have things named after yourself, while still in office, is the height of arrogance, pomposity and vanity. The Trump Ballroom, the Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and now a line of Trump Class battleships is just awful, truly awful.
Trump announces new class of U.S. battleships named after himself
FROM NBC NEWS: Making the announcement at an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Navy Secretary John Phelan referred to the warships as “Trump-class battleships” and said a forthcoming vessel dubbed the USS Defiant will be “the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.”
Trump’s eponymous battleships will be armed with guns and missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered lasers.
“We envision that these ships will be the first of a whole new class of battleships to be produced in the years to come,” Trump said, noting an eventual goal of 20 to 25 new battleships.
Phelan said the battleships will also carry the “nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile.” The last time the U.S. used battleships in combat was in 1991, during the first Gulf War against Iraq.
“These have been under design consideration for a long time, and it started with me in my first term, because I said, ‘Why aren’t we doing battleships like we used to?'” Trump said Monday.
President Trump just announced a new brand of warship to be named after himself, called Trump Class, and the first one will be titles USS Defiant. I have never seen this level of vanity and narcissism in any president including Bill Clinton. This is off the charts. https://t.co/yuzvHzBtBO
The Navy is tasked with leading the design of the new battleships, which are expected to be ready early next decade, according to the Defense Department. Trump said he will also play a role, “because I’m a very aesthetic person.”
Signifiers of Trump, from his likeness to his name and his birthday, have become more commonplace during his second term.
Last week, a board handpicked by Trump voted to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington the Trump-Kennedy Center. Trump’s name was also added to the U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters in Washington this month, and the Interior Department the Interior Department in a video last month displayed a national park pass for 2026 that will bear Trump’s image. The legality of some of those moves, however, faces legal challenges.
Trump said the new battleships are not meant as a deterrent to any one country.
“It’s a counter to everybody. It’s not China. We get along great with China,” he said. “It’s just everybody. You don’t know who comes along, but we just wanted peace through strength. Hopefully we never have to use them, but there will never be anything built like these.” READ MORE

Witchcraft and doctrines of devils were on full display at AmFest 2025 as Turning Point USA erupted in a cacophony of end times activity, cat fights and bitter rivals
Turning Point USA is arguably the most-powerful vote-getting operation in America, having played an instrumental role in the reelection of Donald Trump. This year for AmFest 2025, they drew tens of thousands of ‘true believers’ in the church of Charlie Kirk, and what did they see when they got there? They had a front row seat to a legitimate end times circus, including a replica of the tent where Charlie Kirk was assassinated that also functioned as a selfie station for his most ardent disciples.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, whatever Turning Point USA was under the leadership of Charlie Kirk it’s not anymore, as literally everyone is scrambling for control, money, power and their slice of the hundred million dollar+ empire that is TPUSA. The “grieving widow” looks like she is having the time of her life dressed all in gold and taking the stage in what looks like an MTV music video (if you’re old enough to remember what that is). In fact, she’s already working to select the next president, and her choice appears to be her very close friend, JD Vance. But all those things are mere child’s play compared to the witchcraft and demonism we found while observing the festivities in an event trumpeting the “Christian foundation” of America. Not all is as it seems, and on this episode, you’ll be shocked at everything taking place inside the House of Kirk.
Every Sunday morning, from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM EST, we invite you to join us live and in-person at the Bible Believers Church here inside the NTEB Bookstore in Palatka where we lift up the Lord Jesus Christ in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and preach a message from the pages of the King James Authorized Version Holy Bible.
