Timestamp: (1:59). The bomb damage assessment (and debate) on Iran continues.
Timestamp: (5:51). Trump backtracks on helping arm Ukraine against aerial attacks from Russia, and the drone attacks worsen significantly.
Timestamp: (22:34). The last segment was pretty bleak about Ukraine — here are three good things that happened this week that will help balance that out.
Timestamp: (31:33). Let me end by sharing some Biblical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.
Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.
If you’re new to the show, let me say this. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some Biblical wisdom (without being too pushy).
My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).
Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

Pentagon halting some promised munitions for Ukraine
The Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low.
The decision was driven by the Pentagon’s policy chief, Elbridge Colby, and was made after a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles, leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking, according to three people familiar with the issue.
…
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement the decision “was made to put America’s interests first following a DOD review of our nation’s military support and assistance to other countries across the globe. The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned — just ask Iran.”

Let’s end with some notes on faith
As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person. I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.
By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. I also have listed a hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the page: PTSD.
Reminder: If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to read some of it for the first time in a while (or maybe ever), check out my resource page here. I know it’s a big book that can seem overwhelming, but that link can help you. And yes, you can read it from a phone, computer, laptop, etc. (See my link above.)
I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below.
Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?

I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Christian or not.
