Airlines still catching up, two days after nationwide ground stop

Pastor Miles to Newsmax: Left Has 'Been Able to Hijack the Church'


By James Morley III | Saturday, 14 November 2026 02:54 PM EST

Pastor Lucas Miles, vice president of Turning Point USA Faith and author of "Woke Jesus" and "Pagan Threat," told Newsmax on Saturday that left-wing politicians are increasingly using Christianity as a vehicle to advance Marxist ideology while rejecting fundamental Christian teachings.

Appearing on Newsmax's "America Right Now," Miles criticized Texas Sen.-elect James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian who has said Islamic poets influenced his faith as much as Christian writers.

"I think we've been seeing Talarico's viewpoint for some time," Miles said.

"And this is inherently not Christian. I think we have to be very clear that what he is espousing does not align with historic Christianity. And this is really a rejection of Christian doctrine."

Miles warned that voters must recognize the distinction between traditional Christian beliefs and what he described as attempts by the political left to exploit religion for electoral purposes.

"I think we're seeing this across the board with the left is using the skin of the church or the skin of Christianity in order to, you know, as a vehicle, essentially to push their ideas across the finish line," he said.

Asked about efforts by socialists and the far left to embrace religious messaging despite their secular political philosophies, Miles argued that the strategy reflects a decadeslong effort to infiltrate American institutions.

"Look, this is nothing new, right? The communists have been talking about the long march through the institutions," Miles said.

"And we're certainly seeing that, except for now, we're coming to a point where they've been very successful."

"They've made it all the way through the institutions," he continued.

"They've been able to hijack the church. They've been able to hijack major mainstream denominations and kind of place their ideologues in these positions, really, to push additional propaganda."

Miles accused progressive religious leaders of distorting Christianity to promote political objectives and urged traditional believers to challenge those teachings.

"They're using Jesus as propaganda for Marxism," Miles said. "And I think this is where true Christians have to stand up. We have to use our voice."

Drawing a parallel with the early Christian church's efforts to confront theological disputes, Miles called for renewed efforts to defend established Christian doctrine.

"Early church councils were convened to be able to draw the line in the sand against heretics and false ideologies," he said. "And we really need the same thing to happen today."

"We might have 45,000 denominations in the world, but we only have one Jesus," Miles concluded.

Strange Normal

Nov 14, 2026 

Is Strange Normal getting political when a president, a pope or a vice president shows up in a title? I don't think so, and in this video I walk through what the Bible and Ellen White actually say about Christians, politicians and the news. Daniel, Joseph, Elijah, Nathan and Jesus Himself all named rulers by name, but none of them took a side in a party fight, and that's the line this channel tries to hold.

I start with how YouTube actually works, pulling viewers toward videos that test well rather than pushing videos out to the world, and why a headline with a politician's name in it can carry Bible truth to people who would never search for prophecy on their own.

From there I go through Luke 13 and how Jesus used the Galileans killed by Pilate to call for repentance, not political reform. I look at Nathan confronting David, Elijah confronting Ahab, Daniel rebuking Nebuchadnezzar, and John the Baptist confronting Herod, and show what all four rebukes have in common.

I cover the trap the Pharisees and Herodians set with the tribute question, and Jesus's answer about rendering to Caesar and to God. Then I get into the one place silence is not an option: worship, using Daniel 3, Daniel 6, Acts 5 and Revelation 13.

Finally I bring in Ellen White's own writing, including her warning that ministers who want to stand as politicians should have their credentials taken from them, alongside her equally strong statements that Adventists must not stay silent when religious liberty and freedom of conscience are threatened.

The Fauci Diaries: Three Volumes, Fully Indexed


Fauci’s entries are reproduced as written and uncorrected. What remains is his own account of his work, his schemes and worries, his excuses and fears.

BY BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE

View original article at Brownstone.org. or more than two decades, Anthony Fauci kept a private diary. It was discovered by the new administration more than two years after Fauci had resigned. The contents were treated as private. In fact, the diaries were a public record because he wrote them on government computers with the assistance of staff of the National Institutes of Health.

To be sure, Fauci never intended them to be seen in this form. They were notes toward an autobiography. He left a copy behind because of public-records preservation requirements. Once they had been discovered, they went through various channels and finally landed in the offices of Senator Rand Paul, who in 2026 released them in four separate installments.

These documents are brought together here for the first time in a single chronological edition, in three volumes.

FAA launched new AI ‘SMART’ tool to all air route traffic control centers just days before nationwide ground stop


By  Natalie O'Neill
Published Nov. 13, 2026, 5:44 p.m. ET


A new AI-supported air traffic system was rolled out to all of FAA’s control centers three days before an extremely rare ground stop halted planes across the US Friday, according to the agency.

The new technology — known as Strategic Management of Airspace or “SMART” — was expanded to 22 air route traffic control centers across the country Tuesday, according to the Washington Times.

The tool merges about 200 “data streams” — focused on flight paths, schedules, weather and other factors — onto a single platform to anticipate airspace constraints and other issues, the outlet reported.

The stoppage was potentially caused by an upgrade to new software, a source told The Post.

Why Most Americans Couldn’t Last 72 Hours in an Emergency

As official warnings and cyber hacks grow, prepping is going mainstream. But many Americans are not ready for natural disasters, let alone manmade ones.

By Russ Jones

November 13, 2026  Updated: November 13, 2026


Viral social media posts and text messages urging Americans to stockpile 90 days of food and supplies are gaining traction. One text message, reviewed by The Epoch Times, spread as these warnings usually do: from one friend to the next.

It described a cyber specialist who came home from a conference shaken enough to warn people close to him to keep 90 days of provisions for every member of their household.

According to the message, the concern was Iran, its cyber capabilities, and what might follow the Nov. 3 midterm elections. It named no verifiable sources.

“I’m not trying to incite panic, nor create a run on toilet paper,” the message read. “I’m not a ’sky is falling‘ person, but I’ll be ready.”

For Americans who have spent years quietly filling pantries, warnings like that are nothing new. However, they say this latest alarm seemed to echo something the federal government actually said.

“Now it’s normalized because the government said something,” Joe Farmer told The Epoch Times. Farmer is a Colorado homesteader who has lived off the grid for five years and sells supplies, including military-style ready-to-eat meals, to the preparedness community.

A closer look at the Pentagon plan, and at warnings from other countries, shows a more measured picture than the one racing across social media.

But are most Americans ready, and could they last even 72 hours if stores emptied?

“No, no,” homesteader Richard Terry said. Too many people, he said, spend on things they do not need instead of building reserves.

His advice is simpler than the headlines suggest. Whether the emergency is a job loss, a tornado, a fire, or a flood, “the preparedness for it is 85 percent the same,” he said.

Last Day Events: Chapter 16—The Close of Probation - Part 4 No More Prayers for the Wicked


Last Day Events: Chapter 16—The Close of Probation - Part 4 No More Prayers for the Wicked

Nov 13, 2026

Chapter 16—The Close of Probation - Part 4

No More Prayers for the Wicked

The ministers of God will have done their last work, offered their last prayers, shed their last bitter tear for a rebellious church and an ungodly people. Their last solemn warning has been given. Oh, then how quickly would houses and lands, dollars that have been miserly hoarded and cherished and tightly grasped, be given for some consolation by those who have professed the truth and have not lived it out, for the way of salvation to be explained, or to hear a hopeful word or a prayer or an exhortation from their ministers. But no, they must hunger and thirst on in vain; their thirst will never be quenched, no consolation can they get. Their cases are decided and eternally fixed. It is a fearful, awful time.—Manuscript 1, 1857. 

In the time when God’s judgments are falling without mercy, oh, how enviable to the wicked will be the position of those who abide “in the secret place of the Most High”—the pavilion in which the Lord hides all who have loved Him and have obeyed His commandments! The lot of the righteous is indeed an enviable one at such a time to those who are suffering because of their sins. But the door of mercy is closed to the wicked. No more prayers are offered in their behalf after probation ends.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 3:1150 (1901).

Wins By Religious Democrats Break Republican Grip On Faith In Politics

FROM AFP NEWS

By Malcolm FOSTER

Nov 12, 2026, 9:01 pm EST


US Senator-elect and seminarian James Talarico is one of a string of openly religious Democratic candidates who won in midterm elections (RONALDO SCHEMIDT)


Wins by a string of openly religious Democratic candidates in last week's midterm elections have broken the Republican stranglehold on integrating faith and politics, a change that could reshape America's political landscape for years to come.

For decades, Democratic Party candidates have been reluctant to talk about faith and done little to actively reach out to religious voters, who favored Republicans, viewed as the party of traditional family values.

But this year, that pattern was shattered as Methodist megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Presbyterian seminarian James Talarico in Texas won in deeply conservative states that hadn't elected a Democratic senator in decades.

Using the Bible to call for decency in politics and oppose the violent crackdown on undocumented immigrants, they were among six clergy or pastors-in-training winning seats as Democrats, helping them recapture Congress and deal a heavy blow to President Donald Trump's party.

In Michigan, voters provided another kind of religious breakthrough by electing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed as the first Muslim senator.

"Democrats have long been the party of policies and programs rather than faith and values," but they "finally cracked the code," said Andrew Koneschusky, head of public relations firm Beltway Advisors in Washington and a former Democratic aide.

DO YOU FEEL IT? Why Time Is Moving Faster Now

 DO YOU FEEL IT? Why Time Is Moving Faster Now

On Life and Eternity

Nov 6, 2026 

Why is time flying by so fast? The morning has barely begun, and suddenly it's already evening. Weeks pass without us noticing, months come and go, and another year is already drawing to a close. Many people today are saying the same thing: time seems to be moving faster. But why do we feel this way?

 And what does the Bible say about it?

In this video, we will explore why modern people feel as though time is passing faster and look for answers in the Holy Scriptures. You will discover what Jesus Christ really meant when He spoke in Matthew 24 about the days being shortened for the sake of the elect. Many people misunderstand these words, so we will examine them carefully in the context of the entire chapter.

Entire command team of USS South Dakota relieved following grounding incident


Cmdr. Daniel Goodwin, along with his executive officer and top enlisted advisor, were removed from their posts.

Cmdr. Daniel Goodwin assumes command of the USS South Dakota on June 30, 2026 at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Conn. Navy photo by John Narewski.


The top leadership team of the nuclear-powered USS South Dakota submarine was removed from their posts last month.

The firing was first reported by the Connecticut newspaper The Day, which said that Cmdr. Dan Goodwin was removed from the post on Oct. 14. Alongside Goodwin, the submarine’s executive officer and chief of the boat — the top enlisted leader aboard a submarine — were also relieved that day. Two members of Congress wrote to acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle over the matter, accusing the Navy of failing to notify the House Armed Services Committee about the command triad’s removal.

The letter, from Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), the ranking member of the House Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, and Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, cites The Day’s reporting and says the committee had not been informed for nearly a month, which they called “unacceptable.”

“In the wake of the collisions affecting USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62), USS John S. McCain (DDG 56), and the grounding incidents involving USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS Connecticut (SSN 22), clear and timely communication with Congress was necessary to make informed decisions to ensure personnel safety and readiness of the fleet,” Courtney and Smith wrote.

Pentagon orders bases to plan for 90 days without the grid as Britain urges families to stockpile food and water

Thursday November 12th, 2026


Fortune, by Bilin Lin: The Pentagon wants every major U.S. military base to run for 90 days without outside help if a war cuts off power and supply chains. Across the Atlantic, Britain is telling families to keep canned food, bottled water, and cash on hand to get through three days of disruption.

The two efforts aren’t known to be coordinated, and neither government has said a new war is imminent. But both are planning for disruptions that could leave homes and military installations without the services they depend on.

Inside the Pentagon’s 90-day plan

The Pentagon is developing a requirement that every major military installation in the continental U.S. be able to sustain essential operations on its own for at least 90 days, Fox News Digital reported Oct. 25, citing internal planning documents. The requirement falls under an initiative called FORTRESS, short for Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled FORTRESS in his Sept. 30 “State of the Force” address. He pledged that every major installation would generate its own power, independent of the civilian grid. A follow-up memo laid out plans for a dedicated program office. The 90-day standard goes further than that original goal, extending self-sufficiency beyond electricity to water, fuel, and communications.

The plan envisions portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect bases from civilian power networks. The Army has already moved in that direction: In August it announced up to $2.2 billion in awards to build nuclear microreactors at five bases, including Fort Bragg and Fort Hood.

“Power is combat now,” Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell, who Fox said led the FORTRESS initiative, told the outlet. “Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines, and just basic military command structures.”

Microsoft is reporting widespread improvements to its services after a global outage took them offline on Thursday, disrupting communications and work at schools, government agencies and offices around the world. The company, headquartered in Redmond, Wash., said on Friday that it was seeing “encouraging recovery progress, with service availability and email delivery performance improving across a growing portion of affected infrastructure.”

“We remain focused on addressing residual impact and ensuring reliable service restoration,” the company added.

Here’s what to know as of Friday afternoon.
What happened?

Outages started disrupting Microsoft tools and apps around noon Eastern time on Thursday and quickly spread to more than 70 countries and territories, affecting millions of users, according to Downdetector, an outage-tracking site.

Some of Microsoft’s most popular products, including the email manager Outlook, the workplace messaging and video calling app Teams and the artificial intelligence assistant Copilot, stopped working.

Interview with an Adventist Exorcist

Seth Pierce | October 27, 2026 | Interviews


Tim Maddox, the Adventist Excorcist
Tim Maddox, the Adventist Exorcist 

Just over a year ago, I wrote a piece on demonology that possessed its readers, capturing the attention of some and exercising the patience of others. It was a news article on the work of Adventist missionary and deliverance minister, Tim Maddocks. While the article received a variety of responses, my intent was to explore current shifts in thought on a subject that may seem sensational to those in a Western context, but is very real to people in other parts of the world. 

The recent surge of spiritual warfare rhetoric within American politics, the presence of exorcists in the news, and the annual claim of demonic activity around the Halloween season indicates that, even in the West, demonology is something many grapple with. Because of that ongoing interest, I reached out to Maddocks who graciously agreed to be interviewed on his work. 

What follows is a good faith conversation on a challenging spiritual subject. And while the title of this interview uses the term “exorcism” for familiarity’s sake, that word fits better within Catholicism and Orthodox traditions, whereas Protestants lean toward the term “deliverance.” Deliverance ministries gained traction in the 60s alongside the charismatic movement then entering mainstream Christianity in the US. Adventist missionaries, due to a lack of resources within the church, relied on many resources by non-Adventist charismatics. Today deliverance ministries are part of many missionary experiences, as well as a key element in charismatic traditions.

SD Supreme Court rules in favor of pastor in dispute with church over donation




South Dakota Supreme Court chamber

The South Dakota Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s ruling favoring a church in a dispute with a pastor over a $300,000 donation.

The case involves a gift allegedly made to Mario Torres, a pastor at Iglesia Pentecostal Fuente De Vida in Mitchell, according to the opinion released this week.

Iglesia Pentecostal Fuente De Vida was founded in Columbus, Nebraska in 2009. Torres became a pastor at the church and later founded a parish in Mitchell. Another church was also opened in Yankton.

In 2022, a parishioner made a major donation, writing three $300,000 checks. However the checks were written differently. One was made payable to "Iglesia Pentecostal Fuente De Vida" with the word "tithe" in the memo line and was given directly to the founder of the church. For the other two checks, the parishioner left the "pay to the order" line blank and wrote "mission" on the memo line. One check was given to Torres, the other was given to the pastor of the Yankton church. The parishioner did not discuss the intent of the check with Torres at the time.

Torres put the check in the church's bank account. However, court documents say Torres later learned the parishioner meant the check to go directly to Torres rather than the Church. Torres transferred money from the church’s account to his own.

The church sued Torres for conversion and breach of fiduciary duty. Torres sued on counterclaims of conversion and fraud.

Kids Movies Are Making God the Villain

In Magic Kingdom 2: Gnosticism and Law, we follow a pattern the early Gnostics invented when they retold Genesis: the serpent becomes the liberator, the Creator becomes a tyrant hiding the truth, and freedom comes from crossing the line God drew.

The Bow-circled Throne, November 14



Behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 
Revelation 4:2, 3.

In the rainbow above the throne is an everlasting testimony that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” ...

As the bow in the cloud is formed by the union of the sunlight and the shower, so the rainbow encircling the throne represents the combined power of mercy and justice. It is not justice alone that is to be maintained; for this would eclipse the glory of the rainbow of promise above the throne; men could see only the penalty of the law. Were there no justice, no penalty, there would be no stability to the government of God. It is the mingling of judgment and mercy that makes salvation complete....

Mercy invites us to enter through the gates into the city of God, and justice is satisfied to accord to every obedient soul full privileges as a member of the royal family, a child of the heavenly King. If we were defective in character, we could not pass the gates that mercy has opened to the obedient; for justice stands at the entrance, and demands holiness in all who would see God.

Were justice extinct, and were it possible for divine mercy to open the gates to the whole race, irrespective of character, there would be a worse condition of disaffection and rebellion in heaven than before Satan was expelled. The peace, happiness, and harmony of heaven would be broken. The change from earth to heaven will not change men’s character; the happiness of the redeemed in heaven results from the character formed in this life after the image of Christ. The saints in heaven will first have been saints on earth.

The salvation that Christ made such a sacrifice to gain for man is that which is alone of value; for it is that which saves from sin.... Thus the law of God is not weakened by the gospel, but the power of sin is broken, and the scepter of mercy is extended to the penitent sinner.... God will never forget His people in their struggle against evil. Let Jesus be our theme.34The Review and Herald, December 13, 1892.
