Woke Bishop Runs to National TV for Support After Trump Rebuke
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde publicly addressed her rebuke of the president during the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.
Speaking to “The View,” Budde says that, “My responsibility that morning, yesterday morning, was to reflect, to pray with the nation for unity. And I was pondering what are the foundations of unity, I wanted to emphasize respecting the honor and dignity of every human being.”
Budde says she was going against a “narrative” she believes is polarizing and divisive, and that she was deliberately not paying attention to the reactions of Trump and Vance while delivering her message.

Stargate-AI Has Huge Upside, but at What Risk?
The announcement of the $500 billion Stargate-AI project—a collaboration between OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and MGX to construct advanced artificial intelligence datacenters in the United States—marks a significant milestone in technological advancement. While this initiative promises to bolster national competitiveness in AI, it also invites reflection on its deeper implications, particularly from the Bible’s prophetic perspective, and the potential risks it poses to the world and the Christian community.
Biblical Prophetic Perspective
Scripture often warns of humanity’s pursuit of knowledge and power without divine guidance. In Genesis 11:4b (NIV), the construction of the Tower of Babel was an endeavor by humanity to “make a name for ourselves,” leading to the people’s dispersion due to prideful ambition. Similarly, the rapid development of AI technologies, as seen in the Stargate-AI project, is a modern parallel in which the quest for technological supremacy may lead humanity to overstep its bounds.
Few Noticed a Prophetic Song About Christ’s Return at Trump Inauguration
An incredible thing happened during the inauguration of Donald Trump on Jan. 20. As the entire world watched, the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club performed a stirring rendition of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” To me, it was one of the most memorable moments of the entire day. But what most people don’t realize is that the song repeatedly references the book of Revelation and the second coming of Jesus Christ. I don’t think that it was an accident that this specific song was performed at Donald Trump’s inauguration at this specific moment in human history. This was a reminder to all of us that the great battle between good and evil that has been going on for centuries is reaching a grand crescendo, and it was also a reminder to all of us that we really are living in the end times.
If you missed the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club’s performance of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, I would very much encourage you to check it out, because it truly was extraordinary.
This is one of our most loved patriotic songs, but most people have no idea where the lyrics came from.
