Condolences ✝️ "Pennsylvania High School Football Coach Dies During Game "

Ed Dawson, the 55-year-old head football coach at Cornell High School, died after suffering a sudden medical emergency on the sideline during a game against Rochester High School.

The Incident

During the second quarter of the Week 9 game in Rochester, Pennsylvania, Coach Dawson informed an assistant coach that he was not feeling well. He went to sit on the team bench and eventually lay down.

 Athletic Director Bill Sacco reported that shortly after, Dawson became unresponsive. Emergency medical personnel administered CPR on the sideline before rushing him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Dispatch audio later indicated the response was for an apparent cardiac arrest. Following the emergency, the game was immediately halted and called off, with Cornell leading 16-6 at the time.

Game Completion Status

The game was not finished. Following the medical emergency, the game was permanently halted during the second quarter. The WPIAL (Western Pennsylvania Athletic League) later determined that the game would not be resumed or made up. 

It has officially been ruled a no-contest, meaning the statistics and score from the uncompleted game will not count toward either team's official season record.

Community Impact and Legacy

In addition to his 12-season tenure leading the football program, Dawson served as Cornell's assistant dean of students. He is widely credited with resurrecting a football program that had nearly disappeared, guiding the team to its first conference title in 36 years in 2019 and an outright title in 2021.

 Cornell School District Superintendent Dr. Aaron Thomas described the community as heartbroken, crushed, and in shock, emphasizing that Dawson was a vital leader and father figure to his players. The district held a community memorial service and arranged for counseling resources to support students and staff.

✝️❤️🙏"Gunmen killed 7 at Christian church in Jordan. King Abdullah II called the Karak shooting a 'terrorist attack'

Condolences 

The death toll from the unprecedented terrorist attack at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, within Jordan's southern Karak governorate, stands at nine people dead and roughly 40 others wounded.

The Attack

• The Incident: On Friday, October 23, 2026, a crowd of 150 to 200 mourners gathered inside the church for a funeral service. Roughly 15 minutes after the service began, intense and indiscriminate gunfire erupted. Survivors described mass panic as people screamed and hid behind church pillars.

• The Perpetrators: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage broadcast on state television shows two gunmen armed with pistols approaching the building and firing, followed by a third assailant carrying a semiautomatic rifle. The attack lasted about five minutes before the gunmen fled in a vehicle.

• Current Status: As of October 25, 2026, the three gunmen remain unidentified and at large. Security forces have launched a massive manhunt and security crackdown to locate them. No group has claimed responsibility.

Government Action & King's Response

• King Abdullah II convened the National Security Council and visited the wounded at the Prince Ali Military Hospital in Karak. He called the shooting a despicable terrorist act and stated that anyone who imagines bullets can divide Muslims and Christians in Jordan will fail.

• Broad Legal Directives: The King ordered the strict prosecution of not just the direct attackers, but anyone found financing, facilitating, or legally justifying the extremist ideology behind the assault.

• National Security Escalation: Nationwide security has been heavily stepped up at shopping malls, public spaces, and foreign embassies. Authorities also issued a temporary publication gag order regarding investigation specifics to prevent regional rumor-mongering.

• National Mourning: The kingdom declared three days of official national mourning for the victims, whose funerals began on Sunday.

Societal Context

This targeted violence is highly unusual for Jordan, which is typically a pillar of stability and religious tolerance in the Middle East. Christians comprise roughly 3 percent of the country’s population.

 Government spokesperson Mohammad Momani stressed that Christians are tightly woven into the national fabric of Jordan and that an attack on any citizen, regardless of faith, is an attack on the whole society.

"As U.S. troops leave Iraq, ISIS is finding new ways to gain influence By Katie O'Malley, October 21, 2026 -

Prayers 🙏 for Iraq 

Extra Prayers 🙏 for Christians ✝️in iraq

Following the completion of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq on September 30, 2026, ISIS is attempting to re-establish influence by positioning itself as a social justice advocate and defender of Sunni Muslims.

According to reporting by Mission Network News, key dynamics following the U.S. departure include:

• Sunni Outreach: ISIS is trying to exploit local grievances, government corruption, and political gaps by framing itself as a voice for marginalized Sunni communities.

• Youth Disillusionment: Militants are targeting young Iraqis who are angry about high unemployment and systemic corruption in the post-U.S. withdrawal landscape.

• Security Shifts: With Operation Inherent Resolve concluded and American forces moving to a bilateral advisory role, regional stakeholders—including local Assyrian Christian populations and Kurdish security forces—face rising concerns over remaining Islamic State cells and Iran-aligned militias.

"Iran's Kill Plots Reach 'Advanced Stages,' but Trump Has a Message: 'Little Epic Fury - " how about Big Epic Fury II 💥

President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. could launch another little Epic Fury—referring to the initial military operation Operation Epic Fury—following a U.S. intelligence memo warning that Iranian lethal plotting against American personnel has reached advanced stages.

Key Developments

Intelligence Warning: Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton sent an October 23 memo to Secretary of State Marco Rubio stating that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel and diplomats in the Middle East and other countries.

Embassy Drawdowns: The U.S. State Department is reducing staffing at four Middle East embassies and ordering departures of non-essential personnel and families in response to the heightened threats from Iran and Iran-backed Houthi attacks.

Trump’s Warning: Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida, President Trump warned Tehran to negotiate or face renewed military action, stating, We may do another little Epic Fury, or they'll agree.

"President Trump Reacts to Arrest of FBI Officials Involved in Hunter Biden Laptop Investigation Who Admitted to “Running a Shadow Government - Google Search

Former FBI officials Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides were arrested and charged with making false statements to Congress regarding their involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation.

Case Details & Charges

- The Defendants: Nikki Floris (former deputy assistant director leading the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force) and Bradley Benavides (former section chief of the task force) surrendered on federal arrest warrants.

- The Charges: Each faces one count of making false statements under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 for allegedly lying to the House Judiciary Committee in 2023.

- The Allegations: Prosecutors and FBI Director Kash Patel stated that the pair concealed the task force's engagement with the Hunter Biden laptop probe, with Floris previously noted in internal 2020 communications as privately remarking that she was "running a shadow government across the FBI at this point".

- Defense Response: Attorneys for Floris called the charges "nonsense" and politically motivated, asserting that she served as a dedicated intelligence officer for nearly two decades and was falsely accused on the say-so of politicians ahead of an election.

Reactions & Official Statements

- FBI Director Kash Patel: Announced the arrests on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Weaponization will never be tolerated at this FBI. We have already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump — and anyone who abuses their position of public trust will be held accountable".

- U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro: Stated in official remarks via the Department of Justice Portal that "when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it's time to bring the hammer of justice down on them".

- President Trump and Administration

 Context: President Trump and his conservative allies have long spotlighted declassified 2020 internal exchanges referencing the "shadow government" remark as evidence of partisan interference and suppression of information during the 2020 election cycle.

Prayers 🙏 for repentance at "Burning Man — Big Tech, Paganism & Your Future" -

Prayer: 

Lord, look down upon the desert sand,

Where seeking souls wander through the land.

In the dust of Black Rock City’s floor,

They knock on every dark & false door.

Break the chains of the illusions they chase,

And flood their hearts with Your saving grace.

Awaken their minds to see the profound,

To turn from the idols where sins abound.

Let the fires they light of wood & stone,

Fade fast before the light of Your throne.

Deliver them now from demonic ways,

And silence the lies that cloud their days

We pray they renounce the shadows of old,

To enter the safety of Your true fold.

Grant them repentance, deep & sincere,

To cast out the darkness & walk in Your fear.

Wash them clean in the life-giving wave,

Baptized in the name of the only One who can save

May the mockers bow & the proud submit,

As the lamp of Your truth is finally lit.

No longer conforming to ways of the night,

But walking as children born of the light.

Turn their wild dancing to worship & praise,

To honor the Savior for all of their days.

From the ashes of fires that wither and die

Raise up a people who look to the sky.

For true liberation is found in Your cross,

And all other glory is nothing but loss.

Bring revival tonight to the desert plain,

That thousands may call on Jesus’s name🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️

End prayer 

**********

The phrase Burning Man — Big Tech, Paganism & Your Future refers directly to a prominent October 2026 investigative cover story published by The New American magazine. Written by journalist Alex Newman, the piece argues that the annual desert festival is far more than a hedonistic counterculture party.

 Instead, the publication frames Burning Man as an experimental testing ground where Silicon Valley elites, globalists, and technopagan ideologies intersect to actively design a post-Christian cultural and technological future.

Core Arguments of the Critique

An extension of Silicon Valley: The article asserts that Burning Man has become an open playground for Big Tech executives and billionaires. Prominent tech figures utilize the event to foster creativity, network, and experiment with societal frameworks outside traditional legal and cultural boundaries.

The Technopagan framework: Critics highlight the explicit rejection of traditional organized religion, particularly Judeo-Christian values, in favor of neo-pagan practices, spiritual syncretism, and the ritualistic burning of the massive wooden effigy. Christian researchers cited in the report argue that this worldview promotes self-deification—the idea that man can become his own god through technology and personal expression.

Designing a New Digital Order: The central warning of the piece is that the cultural experiments carried out in Black Rock City are intended to migrate into everyday life. The article links the freedom-oriented, hyper-connected community structure of the festival to the real-world development of surveillance infrastructure, artificial intelligence, digital identities, and a shifting global morality that replaces classic Western traditions.

Context of the Debate

While conservative and traditionalist outlets frame this relationship as a coordinated effort to reshape society, cultural analysts and technology historians view the overlap from a different perspective:

Cultural historians point out that Silicon Valley has always been deeply intertwined with the 1960s and 70s Bay Area counterculture, making the fusion of technology and alternative lifestyles a natural evolution rather than a recent plot.

Futurists note that the temporary, iterative nature of Black Rock City mirrors the tech world's proto-topia concept—a philosophy of constant, gradual updates and experimentation to find alternative ways of organizing human life.

Mainstream criticisms of the event typically focus less on spiritual warfare and more on practical issues, pointing out that the high cost of attendance has transformed a radical anti-capitalist experiment into an exclusive luxury retreat for wealthy tech workers.
