The media is going to get Donald Trump one way or the other.  He releases the Epstein files and doesn’t break a sweat. The media is trying to make us think he’s involved in pedophilia.   

There’s lots of noise about the Democrats wanting ICE reforms or they’ll shutdown the DHS ( which oversees ICE, FEMA, TSA, etc.)  I’ll admit that the pre-boarding experience is a little humiliating. I remember my Dad having to take his belt off before boarding a flight to Australia. He was happy to do it. We almost got into an argument, which I wouldn’t have won. But I’m all about law and order now, even if most of these TSA people couldn’t get a job anywhere else.

Suddenly these trans people are causing trouble. That alone should convince anybody that these weirdos have nothing else.  They’re so consumed.  Don’t they have any other way of getting attention?  I’m convinced that’s what it’s all about.

The trannies have gone crazy.  They’re shooting up everything, like what just happened in Canada.  They can’t go in public without the stares, and I’m sure they’re miserable.  We don’t need to say a thing. They don’t want to kill themselves so they’re shooting up the public.  They think that normal thinking is a crime.  They go to the public and see that everybody isn’t like them, so they want to kill everybody that doesn’t stand up for them.  We’ll see how that goes.

Don Lemon needed a little attention after getting fired from CNN.  He apparently orchestrated the trouble at a church.  Who needs it?  They view our beliefs as beneath them.  I hope they throw the book at the interlopers.  Even though we don’t agree with anything that went on in those churches.  The underlying tenet of our Constitution is freedom.  Who invited these freaks?   Nobody.

If we learned anything from the Covid scare, it’s that you can’t trust what the news tells you. Online articles tell us that the administration is barely over 30 percent approval.  Not here in Texas!  They’re trying to tell us that everybody hates our President. It’s supposed to be a battleground state, but I think they’re in for a surprise.

Big Pharma and the networks are trying to convince us that we’re all crazy.  They thought they’d established the ground rules for how we’re supposed to think.  But we didn’t buy it.  They’re still carrying on about the jab.  I’m glad I didn’t take one, even under pressure from my friends.  

People are in the streets in Iran.  The regime is loosing control, and they better hope they didn’t murder or torture anybody.  We’ve got aircraft carriers on the way amid nuclear talks.

Things are starting to get dangerous.  The Left hates Donald Trump so much, the news reporters and their hangers on, you wonder if another assassination plot is afoot.  He’s trying to transform this nation into what it should have been.  We’re tired of bailing out the rest of the world, and Europe in particular.  The news is trying to shame us for bailing on their false narratives.

Minnesota is ground zero, but a lot of other states may get caught up in the mix.  I don’t know what would happen if they sent EVERYBODY home.  We may find out.  

Don Lemon got arrested with a bunch of protesters.  It’s starting to look as if the media is on the side of the protesters.  ICE has been on the job in Minnesota, and everybody’s outraged.  They’ve been engaging in unbelievable fraud up there, and are living better than us, at our expense.  

ICE agents are reportedly leaving Minnesota, given all the claims and counter claims.  Maybe you’ve seen some of the undercover videos at Learning Centers.  I could have told them, Muslims don’t send their children anywhere.  All these Learning Centers are empty?  What did they expect?  It’s simply a scam to get us to support their lavish lifestyles.  Send them back to where they came from.

The news is pumping this narrative that everybody’s equal but these people couldn’t play a hand of Bridge without being at each other’s throats. Our forefathers civilized this nation, but they’ve got a million claims of why nothing is fair.  

The war goes on in Ukraine, despite all measures to the contrary.  People are being killed daily and Trump wants it stopped, no matter what.  But that’s not the end of it.  Trump is threatening to unleash the hounds if somebody wants to keep fighting.

Iran may be where we need to be concerned.  Well, not concerned, it is way over there.  But it looks like the last time they had a revolution.  Only this time they want the Ayatollahs and the military police disbanded.  It’s a recipe for disaster.

We’ve got ships off-shore Venezuela, Maduro is in custody, claiming innocence, and everything is coming up roses.

And what about Greenland?  They’re about to make a deal.

P.S. Gold and silver are fluctuating wildly with a record breaking boom to bust in a month. But what’s new?

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – January 30, 2026 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

A major winter storm plowed across the country on Monday, delivering heavy snow, ice, and temperatures so low they broke records in some places.

More than 150 million Americans in 26 states, stretching 2,000 miles from Texas to Maine, were in the path of the historic storm as power outages — particularly in Texas where 2 million were without power — left people shivering in the dark.

Slick, icy roads in some states led to pileups, endangering more lives in a winter storm system that’s claimed as many as 12 lives across the country in recent days.

The storm was expected to travel up the Northeast through Tuesday, bringing heavy snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, the National Weather Service said. Six inches to a foot of snow was forecast to stretch from the mid-Mississippi to the Ohio valleys, across the lower Great Lakes, and into northern New England, according to the service.

It also warned about more power outages and significant travel disruptions across much of the southern Plains, as well as “bitterly cold air” that can result in “dangerous or life-threatening wind chills.”

As of Monday afternoon, there were reports of ice pellets falling in Nashville, a possible “snow-nado” in Texas, and emergency responders mobilizing in multiple states.

Snow fell in east Texas, Arkansas, parts of Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio on Monday morning, with wind chills reaching minus 16 degrees Fahrenheit in Dallas and minus 26 in Kansas City.

Heavy snow was accumulating in Oklahoma City, where more than 6 inches has already fallen.

As the plains continue to grapple with the Arctic chill, the National Weather Prediction Center said numerous new record lows were established Monday, including minus 6 in Oklahoma City and 5 degrees in Dallas.

At least parts of all 254 counties in Texas were under either a winter storm watch or a winter storm warning over the weekend. As of 9:40 a.m. ET, 2.6 million people in Texas were experiencing power blackouts.

The weather was affecting operations at airports across the area, with more than 760 flights canceled at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport amid a holiday weekend. On Monday, the airport said single-digit temperatures continued to affect its operations.

The first winter storm watch in a decade was issued for Brownsville, Texas. At 3,360 days, they had the longest streak of any National Weather Service office without one.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages the flow of electric power in the state, said it was experiencing record-breaking electric demand due to the extreme cold temperatures that have gripped the state.

Here’s the #Winter #Storm Severity Index for #today, February 15. Major to extreme impacts are possible from southeast Texas to northern portions of Ohio, as a massive winter storm lifts from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley.

Houston was issued its first wind chill warning on record over the weekend.

As temperatures dropped Monday, Mayor Sylvester Turner warned that authorities were dealing with systemwide power outages across the state and that power could be out a lot longer than expected.

“For those without power, I know it is cold,” Turner tweeted. “The mayor is in the same position but we will get through this together.”

Houston police Chief Art Acevedo asked residents to keep use to a minimum to reduce the load on the electric grid, adding that several of Houston Police facilities were running on emergency generators.

In a statement Sunday night, President Joe Biden declared an emergency in Texas and ordered federal assistance to aid state and local response efforts.

The extreme cold dips far into Texas with more than 60 daily record-low temperatures Monday and again Tuesday in the central U.S., NBC meteorologist Janessa Webb said.

“Records could be smashed by a couple of degrees, which is impressive for lows,” she added. “There will be slow improvement in the cold Wednesday through Friday. The cold is really concentrated in the middle of the country, with the coasts being no more than 5-10 degrees below average.”

(The Washington Post) – Acting customs and border protection commissioner Mark Morgan said Sunday that the mass immigration raids at Mississippi workplaces last week were not “raids,” disputing the terminology that has been widely used to describe the operation.

“I think words matter. These aren’t raids. These are targeted law enforcement operations,” Morgan said on CNN.

Acting homeland security secretary Kevin McAleenan, meanwhile, said he regretted the timing of the raids, which were carried out just days after a mass shooting in which a gunman killed 22 people at an El Paso Walmart. The suspect told authorities that he was targeting “Mexicans,” according to police.”The timing was unfortunate,” McAleenan said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press”

U.S. authorities have in recent days strongly defended the raids amid outrage over images of weeping children arriving home to find their parents missing. The operation has also exposed what state and local officials say is a major shortcoming in ICE procedures for dealing with children, with parents caught up in immigration-related enforcement activities while at work unable to pick their children up from school, day-care centers and elsewhere, leaving some of them deserted and scared.

“In this case, this was a joint criminal investigation with ICE and the Department of Justice targeting worksite enforcement, meaning companies that knowingly and willfully hire illegal aliens so that, in most cases, they can pay them reduced wages, exploit them further for their bottom line,” Morgan said Sunday. “That’s what this investigation was about – a criminal investigation.”

Prosecuting corporations – as opposed to workers – for immigration-related offenses has slowed under the Trump administration, according to a database maintained by Duke University and the University of Virginia and data reviewed by The Washington Post, with only a handful of companies prosecuted for such violations since 2017.

Both Morgan and McAleenan suggested Sunday that videos of children crying after their parents were taken away were designed to elicit sympathy from the public.

“I know it’s emotional. I know it’s done on purpose to show a picture like that,” Morgan said about a widely circulated video of a young girl crying and begging for her father to be brought back.

Morgan added that he “understands” why the girl is upset, “but her father committed a crime.” He said the girl was later reunited with her mother.

McAleenan told NBC’s Chuck Todd that federal agents took the issue of the children’s welfare “very seriously.”

“I think it’s important, Chuck – you had a lot of really sympathetic video there, and I want to tell you that ICE took great pains to make sure that there were no child dependent-care issues that were ignored. … They had a process with 14 different caseworkers and phones available to call and find parents and kids and make arrangements, so this was done with sensitivity,” he said.

McAleenan also suggested that the raids were carried out to serve as a deterrent to other potential migrants from Latin America.

“The priority, right now, is our border security crisis, the humanitarian and security crisis at the border,” he said.

Todd interjected, pointing out that Mississippi is not on the border. McAleenan responded that the move was part of a “balanced enforcement strategy.”

“We’ve got to secure the border,” he said. “But we also have to have interior enforcement to stop this incentive, this work opportunity, that we have in the U.S. that employers are exploiting.”

On CNN, Morgan also took issue with the phrase “undocumented immigrants” to describe those targeted by the raids.

“These aren’t undocumented immigrants. These are illegal immigrants,” he said.

He parried questions about reports that President Donald Trump’s companies rely on undocumented immigrants. The Washington Post reported Friday that a Trump-owned construction company has employed undocumented immigrants for years, raising questions about how fully the Trump Organization has followed through on its pledge to more carefully scrutinize the legal status of its workers.

Asked why the federal government is turning a blind eye to the reports about President Trump’s companies, Morgan said he was offended by the question.

“What I can tell you is, in my 25 years, I take offense to saying anyone’s turning a blind eye to someone who’s violating the law,” he said.

Morgan also disputed the notion that there has never been a raid or investigation into Trump’s companies.

“You really can’t say that for sure, because there are investigations going on all the time … and we shouldn’t be aware of those investigations” because it could jeopardize them, he said.

A war of words has broken out over the report that an American warship shot down an Iranian drone over the Straits of Hormuz.  “Drone?  What drone?  We didn’t lose any drone!” say the leaders of the evil Iranian regime.  So, the warship commanders and personnel made the whole thing up?  Not likely.  But truth is a foreign concept to these religious zealots, as we’ve learned over a lifetime.  Their religion encourages them to lie to us, and we’ve watched them do it for the past forty-odd years.  With North Korea apparently subdued, Iran is the most worrisome threat to Israel and the United States and things could get ugly.  If conflict is unavoidable, it might be best if it happens while Donald J. Trump is President of the United States, and Benjamin Netanyahu is Prime Minister of Israel.

The anti-American “squad” promotes the “BDS” movement against Israel.  It stands for boycott, divest and sanction.  They equate Israel with Nazi Germany, as incongruous as such a comparison is, but they have no shame.  It seems unbelievable that these “women of color” have become the media’s premier grievance activists.  They are in our faces every day with their cries of racism, promotion of unlimited immigration demands that ICE be dismantled.  You couldn’t begin to chronicle all their phony claptrap because it’s non-stop, all day every day.  If you happened to get a look at the photos of Ms. Omar without the headscarf, you’d realize why she wears it. What comes out of her mouth is even worse.

After proclaiming our President a racist for three days in their on-screen banners and host rhetoric, CNN empanelled eight women from Dallas and were stunned when none agreed that the President was racist.  “America, Love it or Leave it,” is a sentiment of long-standing.  There was a hit song from 1964 that spelled it out.  Suddenly, now that we’ve been overrun with heathen from every third world mud-hole, it’s “racist” to say or think any such thing.  The deep-thinkers on CNN have informed us that to support President Trump might not make you a racist, but it certainly makes you a supporter of “racist policies.”  Maybe they’ll win us over if they just keep calling us racists every day!  We’ve arrived at the point where loving our freedom within the bounds of law, loving our Divinely inspired Declaration of Independence and Constitution is some kind of crime against political correctness.

Antifa is (as Tucker Carlson said last night) the militant wing of the anti-American radicals in Congress, and truth be told, the mainstream media.  “They’re just fighting against hate,” say the sodomites.  None of them will speak up against Antifa beat-downs or vandalism.  And head-wrapped Omar thinks al Qaeda deserves respect and finds it hilarious that the murderous name would be used in an ominous manner.  She and her colorful “squad” have become the conscience of the mainstream media, and it can’t get enough of their venomous victim-hood.  The mainstream has hardly noticed that a man armed with a rifle and carrying firebombs was shot and killed while storming an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington.  Go ahead and search it.  Fox News is the only big outlet that even reported it.  Antifa has proclaimed the dead terrorist a martyr for their cause.  But the mainstream media, with the exception of Fox News, never heard of it, and consequently, many Americans haven’t either.  The dead guy who’d identified himself as, “I am Antifa,” was shot while trying to detonate a propane tank.

Uh oh.  News just broke that Iran has seized two British oil tankers. This means that British crew members are being held by Iran, and things could get dicey.  We have no idea what may be going on behind the scenes, but there is obviously an escalating situation.  High-level emergency meetings are underway in London.  Iran is trying to get even for their tanker that Britain helped seize going through Gibraltar on its way to Syria in violation of economic sanctions against Iran.  The grizzled mullahs have accused Britain of piracy, and proclaimed it “evil.”  Suddenly, now they’re reporting that a third tanker, under the Liberian flag has also been seized.

Thanks to the fact that the U. S. has become energy independent, we don’t have tankers in the Gulf.  But Britain is an important ally, maybe the most important of all.  Chances are, the U. S. will be involved in whatever actions are taken.

Interesting that 91% of the “hate America” party (according to a current poll) expects violence to break out domestically.  They better hope not.  Despite all indications from the media and the attention hogs, those that hate the United States and everything it stands for are nowhere near a majority.  That’s likely why they are for unlimited immigration.  Citizens who obey the law and finance the immigration foolishness are being rapidly replaced.  At this time of a great American revival, events are threatening to spin out of control.  Both Iran and Antifa better hope that doesn’t happen.  Try to enjoy your Sabbath.

Now, the ACLU is also jumping on board with their own coaching. They’re also calling illegal aliens, who have been through the court system and determined to have broken federal immigration law, “refugee families.”

“A new wave of ICE arrests is expected to begin this Sunday in at least 10 cities across the country. We’re fighting back by suing to stop mass deportations of refugee families,” the ACLU sent in a fundraising email Friday. “Know this: We don’t have to open the door if ICE comes knocking. If the agents don’t have a warrant signed by a judge, then we can refuse to let them in. We have the right to remain silent. And we shouldn’t sign anything before speaking to a lawyer.”

“ICE raids are nothing new. But for over two years now, the Trump administration has been terrorizing our communities at a new level – tearing thousands of families apart, spreading fear and hate. If this isn’t the kind of country we want to live in, then we must keep fighting to defend our communities,” the email continues. “The best way to fight back? Know your rights. And help your family, friends, and neighbors to know theirs.”

On Friday morning, President Trump told reporters at the White House he has an obligation to carry out ICE raids against those who have already been told to leave.

“People come into our country illegally.  We’re taking them out legally.  It’s very simple.  It’s not something I like doing, but people have come into our country illegally,” Trump said. “We’re focused on criminals.  We’re focused on — if you look at MS-13 — but when people come into our country, we take those people out and we take them out very legally.  They all have papers.  And it’s a process.  And I have an obligation to do it.  They came in illegally; they go out legally.”
