Powerful Three Words Heard on First Radio Signal from Downed Airman — Trump’s Response Draws Scrutiny

/5 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. An F-15 airman who was stranded in Iran was rescued on Saturday night, but a message he radioed made Trump fear that the US military was being lured into a trap.

The unidentified airman, who President Donald Trump has described as a ‘brave warrior,’ got trapped behind enemy lines after his fighter jet was shot down over a remote area of Iran on Friday.

A pilot who was with him safely ejected the aircraft and was rescued by two military helicopters that same day, but the airman remained missing for nearly 48 hours while hiding in a mountain crevice with nothing but a handgun to protect himself.

In an interview with Axios, Trump said the airman had given an unusual message after ejecting from the fighter jet that aroused suspicion. The message was: ‘Power be to God.’

Trump told the outlet: ‘What he said on the radio sounded like something a Muslim would say.’ (Read more from “Powerful Three Words Heard on First Radio Signal from Downed Airman — Trump’s Response Draws Scrutiny” HERE)

US special forces rescue second F-15 airman from Iran

By Military Times. U.S. special forces rescued a downed airman in Iran in a complex operation that averted a potential crisis for President Donald Trump, as the war entered its sixth week with little sign of progress in diplomatic efforts for a resolution.

Trump announced the rescue in the early hours of Sunday in a social media post that described the operation, in a mountainous area of Iran, as “one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History.”

The airman, the weapons officer of an F-15 jet shot down on Friday, was wounded but “will be just fine,” Trump said in a message on X posted by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The pilot of the aircraft was rescued on Friday.

A U.S. official said the operation, which Israel said it had assisted, involved dozens of military aircraft and encountered fierce resistance from Iranian forces.

Iran’s military said several U.S. aircraft were destroyed during the operation, including two military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters. Footage posted on social media showed burned out aircraft wreckage, which Reuters verified was in the area. (Read more from “US special forces rescue second F-15 airman from Iran” HERE)

Mysterious Christian Artifact Found Near Jesus’ Ministry: ‘No known parallel’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Archaeologists have uncovered a one-of-a-kind artifact near the Sea of Galilee that may reveal new details about how early Christians practiced baptism.

The 1,400-year-old artifact was recently found in the ancient city of Hippos, a prominent bishop’s seat during the Byzantine era, according to a March 30 press release shared with Fox News Digital.

The city was once the only Christian city around the Sea of Galilee, controlling territory associated with Jesus’ ministry.

The marble block was found in a hall of baptism called a photisterion. It may shed light on “a stage of the early Christian baptismal rite that has until now gone unrecorded,” officials said.

Hippos’ cathedral had two baptismal halls: one for adults, and another for infants and children, which is where the new object was found. (Read more from “Mysterious Christian Artifact Found Near Jesus’ Ministry: ‘No known parallel’” HERE)

Reporter Asks Trump If God Is On America’s Side In Iran

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A reporter asked President Donald Trump if God is on America’s side in the war with Iran during a contentious presser on Monday.

Trump shared a series of posts on Truth Social Sunday, including several on the rescue of an American servicemember trapped behind enemy lines. He also issued warnings to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, writing in one “Glory be to GOD!” and in another, “Praise be to Allah.” At his White House press briefing on Monday, a reporter asked the president whether he believes God supports the U.S. in Iran.

“You’ve said glory be to God in this conflict,” the Washington Post reporter began. “Do you believe that God supports the United States actions in this war? And—”

“I do, because God is good,” Trump interjected. “Because God is good and God wants to see people taken care of. God doesn’t like what’s happening. I don’t like what’s happening. Everyone says, I enjoy, I don’t enjoy this. I don’t enjoy it.”

Trump continued, citing his actions in conflicts around the world as evidence of his intent. “I don’t like seeing people killed. I’ve ended eight wars. Nobody’s ever done it. The person who won the Nobel Prize came to me and said, you deserve the Nobel Prize. She announced that when they announced.” (Read more from “Reporter Asks Trump If God Is On America’s Side In Iran” HERE)

China-linked Biolab in Las Vegas, Managed by Israeli, Sparks Fears US is Bioterrorism Target

/0 Comments/in , /by

The discovery of an unauthorized biolab in Las Vegas with links to China has raised concerns that there are more across the country – and that they could be used for bioterrorism.

On January 31, Las Vegas police raided a five-bedroom house in a residential neighborhood after several people who had stayed at the home, which was listed as an Airbnb rental, reportedly became ‘deathly ill.’

In the house, police found a cache of weapons, refrigerators containing vials of suspicious liquids and ‘laboratory-style equipment.’

They sent more than 1,000 samples of the liquids to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center for testing and arrested a 55-year-old Israeli citizen named Ori Solomon, who police said managed the home.

He was charged with disposing and discharging hazardous waste, as well as being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm due to the type of visa he has. Solomon’s attorneys have maintained their client’s innocence and that he was not involved with the lab.

How Seriously Wounded US Airman Climbed Mountain, Hid in Crevice and Dodged Iranian Bounty-Hunters for 36 hours

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The tough-as-nails US Air Force colonel shot down over Iran was seriously wounded but still climbed a 7,000-foot ridge and hid in a crevice to evade capture for 36 hours — even with bounty-hunters on his tail.

The cool-as-a-cucumber American hero, who has yet to be publicly identified, spent one and a half days hiding in the Zagros Mountains range and dodging the enemy after his F-15E went down in hostile territory Friday.

Despite his injuries, the weapons officer was able to climb more than 1.3 miles and avoid detection from blood-thirsty nearby Iranian fighters spurred by the chance to capture an American soldier and the $60,000 bounty placed on his head, the New York Times reported.

“Thousands of these savages were hunting him down,” President Trump told Axios of the harrowing situation.

The officer was armed with only a handgun as he awaited rescue, which occurred partly thanks to the emergency beacon he sent out from a crevice along a mountain early Sunday local time, CBS News reported.

How US used SEAL Team 6, a CIA ruse and death from above to rescue missing F-15 airman in Iran: ‘They’ve been schwackin’ dudes chasing him’

By New York Post. The US rescued a missing F-15E airman deep inside Iran with an incredibly complex and daring mission that involved SEAL Team 6, a CIA ruse, a hastily constructed forward air strip in hostile territory, and patrols of friendly aircraft that gave the Air Force colonel cover.

A life-or-death race between US and Iranian forces to find the “seriously injured” weapons officer outside Isfahan over two days culminated in the crew member’s extraction by America’s most elite commandos and a firefight with local militias that were hunting for him, according to a report in the New York Times.

The unnamed officer, who was shot down on Good Friday in southwestern Iran, hid out in the Zagros Mountains and managed to climb a 7,000-foot ridge to evade capture for 36 hours with just a handgun for defense while American MQ-9 Reaper drones pounded nearby Iranian forces with missiles if they got close to his position, according to reports.

“He evaded up a 7k ridge. They’ve been schwackin’ dudes chasing him all day. Was nuts,” a source told Toby Harnden, the veteran war correspondent and author.

In an effort to confuse the Iranians, who put a $60,000 bounty (more than 10 times the average household income) on the officer’s head, the CIA pulled off a diversion on Saturday — planting fake intel that he had already been rescued and was being driven out of Iran, according to the Times.

An 11-year-old Colorado boy allegedly killed his little brother while he took a peaceful nap after school, according to reports and authorities.

Elias Reliford, 5, has been identified by family as the child who was found dead at his home in the cozy Colorado suburb of Centennial on March 10, according to WTSP.

Reliford’s 11-year-old brother has since been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing that took place on an ordinary afternoon after the siblings returned home from school, according to their family.

The children’s great-aunt, Dawn Myles, revealed that the older brother had been asked to do chores while Elias napped after school when the disturbing incident unfolded.

“Then that’s when everything happened — during that time that he was asleep,” Myles told the outlet. (Read more from “5-year-old Colorado Boy was Murdered by 11-year-old Brother While He Took a Nap, Family Says” HERE)

Christian Historian May Have Experienced Life-Saving Miracle. Either Way, It’s Proof Of Something Greater

/0 Comments/in , /by

We hear a lot of doom and gloom in the news these days, but one of the greatest silver linings in recent memory is that young people appear to be returning to Christianity, particularly Catholicism, in droves.

Data has shown that young men are returning to Christianity, slowly but surely, and I have personally heard countless stories about young people, both men and women, returning to the Church or converting in recent years. Vice President J.D. Vance is even releasing a book about his own conversion to Catholicism. Signs are pointing toward a resurgence in Church-going. . .

One of these writers is historian Tom Holland, whose bestselling book on the history of Christianity, “Dominion,” showed how Christian values are still massively influential in today’s society. Holland is also a recent convert. He was previously an atheist as a child and later an agnostic in adulthood, but he fully converted after suffering a cancer scare that he believes was cured by a miracle.

Holland’s brother connected him with a good doctor who specialized in his type of colon cancer, which certainly helped the prognosis. But Holland still thinks there may have been divine intervention that saved his life. . .

Whether he experienced a miracle is beside the point. Holland’s conversion story is still proof that humans crave mystery and authority. They crave wisdom and guidance from a higher power, especially in times of desperate need. Despite all the materialistic trappings of the modern world, they want to nourish their souls with the immaterial, with spirituality.
