I have seen a LOT of clips of Donald Trump, even a lot of old clips of Donald Trump… But I’ve never seen this one before and it’s really quite incredible! He looks like he might be in his 30s in this clip and he is asked if he has a religion and what that is. I thought his answer was really incredible, because while he doesn’t immediately present something that you would instantly recognize as a Christian faith, you can see even at this young age he is thinking and wrestling with these concepts and already he has figured out that we’re not here by random chance — it seems quite clear to a young Donald Trump that we’re here on purpose and for a purpose. He hasn’t quite figured out what the purpose is yet, but he’s clearly on his way. Watch here: Backup on Rumble here if needed: That must have been 40 years ago…. Flash-forward now to 2026 and here’s how he’s grown: President Trump Updates His Outlook On Reaching Heaven For the third time in just a handful of months, President Trump has again commented on his likelihood of getting into Heaven. And you just have to love this guy! I want to make clear upfront just as President Trump makes clear in the video, that he’s mostly just having some fun with these comments. And you have to admit, they are hilarious! Yes, I know there is a deeper theological analysis we can get into on this, and I will mention that later below in this article, but for right now let’s just acknowledge that he’s having a little fun and being funny. But I especially found his very last comment to actually be pretty telling and pretty cutting when it comes to how outsiders view those inside the Church.  At the very end, he says he’s done a hell of a lot of good for “perfect people”. What a statement! You gotta love President Trump, somehow bringing up both Heaven and Hell all in one 60 second clip, but that last comment says way more than you might think at first listen. What he’s essentially speaking to are all the self-righteous religious people often (very wrongly) looking down on everyone else and acting like they think they’re “perfect people”. If there’s one thing President Trump is extremely good at is sizing people up and quickly seeing what they’re all about. It’s why he’s so good at giving people nicknames — because he tends to zero in on some core truth about a person very quickly and very accurately and then he condenses that down to a nickname. Anyway, that’s what stood out to me. Now watch for yourself — and remember, he’s having a little fun here:

It certainly feels like 2026 could be the year we finally get confirmed and real and full alien disclosure. Of course I’ve been very clear I don’t think they are aliens, I think they are demons, but I think the rollout of these “aliens” is coming very soon. Here’s the latest… Understand that what I am about to show you is not some conspiracy corner of the Internet. This is a clip from Newsmax and it features Dr. Steven Greer who has long been in the “alien disclosure” world. But it’s not Greer I’m interested in.  Also on the show is Rep. Eric Burlison. Rep. Eric Burlison is currently a sitting member of the United States Congress.He serves as the U.S. Representative for Missouri’s 7th Congressional District, a Republican who has held the seat since January 3, 2023 (following his election in 2022 and reelection in 2024). And it’s his response to Greer on a well-known and well-respected news channel like Newsmax that caught my attention. Greer tells us he is aware of two downed UFOs each the size of a football field, one in South Korea and one here in the USA in Oklahoma. The Newsmax host then pivots to Rep. Burlison, a sitting member of Congress, who essentially seems to confirm the existence of two downed UFOs but says he can’t really comment on the location. Watch for yourself here: Steven Greer claims a UFO is located in South Korea and Fort Smith (Oklahoma), just after Rep. Burlison said the location was too classified to reveal. pic.twitter.com/jpstV1nIoK — Astral (@The_Astral_) February 17, 2026 As to the location, it seems like most think it is here: pic.twitter.com/lKAcyVXHpz — Interstellar (@InterstellarUAP) February 17, 2026 Backup video on Rumble if needed: And if you want even more mainstream that that, don’t forget that Marco Rubio himself told us this last year: DISCLOSURE: Marco Rubio Confirms UFOs Are Flying Over U.S. Nuclear Sites And even though he has now tried to walk this back, Barack Hussein Obama told us aliens ARE real just this week: WATCH: Barack Obama Confirms Aliens Are Real — No Joke! Ummm, did we just get official Disclosure of Aliens from a (former) U.S. President? For over 10+ years, I have told you the last card they will play will be the Alien card. They will claim Aliens are real, and you will see them with your own eyes. They won’t actually be Aliens — more on what they will actually be a little bit farther down below. But for now, watch this clip for yourself: Barack Obama on aliens: “They’re real” “But I haven’t seen them. They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.” pic.twitter.com/c6t0DYxewU — UAP James (@UAPJames) February 14, 2026 What a totally bizarre clip! So he says flat out they’re real, no hesitation of any kind. But then he says he hasn’t seen them? What in the world? And how bad of an interviewer do you have to be to NOT follow up on that question? Really my man? You really just let him blow by with “Aliens are real, but I haven’t seen them” with NO follow up question? Unreal. Anyway, so what ARE Aliens actually? I’ve written extensively about it: Experts Believe President Trump To Soon Reveal “Aliens” Here come the aliens! No, seriously. This is not Noah having another “crazy conspiracy theory” idea, this is Noah covering the news and reporting that Police Chiefs of America’s largest cities have just published the first guide about UAPs, which details chilling encounters and how officers can report such incidents. Not fiction. Not parody. A training and warning guide put out by police, because they expect future encounters with these “craft”. Note the terminology keeps changing but it’s all the same thing.  It used to be Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) then it was “Craft” then it was Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP). It’s all the same thing. No, I don’t think they are “aliens” in the sense they come from some far off planet and look like ET.  I think they are the descendants of the Nephilim which are described right in your Bible in Genesis 6:4 and then all throughout the Old Testament if you know your Bible! More on that in a bit. But first the breaking news…. I’m not sure who keeps having these “Bingo Cards” everyone always talks about, but if you had UFOs and Aliens on your Bingo Card for September, it looks like you just scored a point: Who has

It seems like being a former Disney Channel child star is a pipeline to jail. Former Disney Channel child star Shia LaBeouf, who later became a box-office draw in movies such as Transformers, has been arrested. LaBeaouf was arrested in New Orleans after reportedly getting into a fight. Here’s a video of the actor following the altercation: EXCLUSIVE: Shia LaBeouf got into a fight overnight during Mardi Gras in NOLA. Paramedics were brought to the scene to treat him and the actor was later arrested. Details: https://t.co/1JNWoconvN pic.twitter.com/P596Xtfmr5 — TMZ (@TMZ) February 17, 2026 The Washington Examiner provided more details on what led to the actor being arrested: Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested early Tuesday following an alleged physical altercation during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, according to court records and multiple reports. The 39-year-old “Transformers” star is facing two charges of simple battery after an incident that occurred shortly after midnight outside a bar in the city’s French Quarter. Video obtained by TMZ shows Mr. LaBeouf shirtless on the street with his back tattoo visible, involved in a confrontation with several people. An eyewitness told the outlet that Mr. LaBeouf had been escorted from the bar by staff before the alleged fight broke out. After walking away, he reportedly returned to the front of the establishment, where paramedics treated him at the scene. Footage shows emergency medical workers providing aid before Mr. LaBeouf was placed inside an ambulance. He did not appear to have sustained serious injuries. The arrest follows a weekend of high-profile Mardi Gras revelry for the actor, who has Louisiana Cajun heritage on his father’s side. Mr. LaBeouf was spotted at the Bacchus parade over the weekend, posing for photos with fans and catching parade throws while wearing beads. However, reports from earlier in the week painted a concerning picture of Mr. LaBeouf’s behavior during the festivities. The Hollywood Reporter detailed what staff at multiple bars described as an extended bar crawl through New Orleans’ Uptown neighborhood that began Thursday. One bartender at Ms. Mae’s, where Mr. LaBeouf showed up shirtless and without cash Sunday night, described him as “inebriated” and “somewhat belligerent.” Another bartender who waited on him days earlier reportedly said, “He is terrorizing the city!” Here are photos of the actor at the event: ‘Inebriated’ Shia LaBeouf arrested after ‘terrorizing’ New Orleans in Mardi Gras bar crawl years after revealing sobriety https://t.co/Amu9W9hqPk pic.twitter.com/xASib9mglp — Page Six (@PageSix) February 17, 2026 Another video: Shia LaBeouf started a fight after being cut off at a bar in New Orleans pic.twitter.com/R4eJdrEmtF — Old Row (@OldRowOfficial) February 17, 2026 The arrest of LaBeouf comes as a surprise to many, considering the actor in 2024 appeared to turn his life around after converting to Catholicism. Euro News covered LaBeouf’s conversion more closely: Shia LaBeouf’s conversion stems from his recent role as Saint Padre Pio in the 2022 film, where he trained at the Old Mission Santa Inés Parish in California. If you’ve been trying to keep up with Shia LaBeouf’s career, you know he has a knack for leaving fans scratching their heads. LaBeouf, the Hollywood actor known for roles in Holes, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and three Transformer movies, as well as his off-screen troubles and controversies, has converted to Catholicism after being confirmed on New Year’s Eve at a Mass presided over by Capuchin Franciscan friars. Adding to the intrigue, LaBeouf, who had a barmitzvah when he was 13, is contemplating a role as a deacon (a subordinate officer) within the Church, “sometime in the future”. The California branch of the Capuchin Franciscans, a Catholic religious order, took to Facebook to announce the news, accompanied by images of the 37-year-old actor beaming alongside members of the organization. “We are thrilled to share that our dear friend Shia LaBeouf has fully entered the church this past weekend through the sacrament of confirmation! The Capuchin Franciscan friars are overjoyed to welcome him into the fold and witness his deep commitment to his faith journey,” the order’s Western America Province said.

Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at 84. Jackson had been hospitalized since November of last year after being diagnosed with supranuclear palsy. After news broke of Jackson’s death, President Trump released a statement calling Jackson a “good man.” The 47th President added that Jackson was a “force of nature” before noting that Jackson could not stand Obama. Fox News provided further details on Trump’s statement on Truth Social: President Donald Trump issued a Truth Social post on Tuesday, reflecting on Rev. Jesse Jackson in the wake of the 84-year-old civil rights leader’s death. Trump described Jackson as “a good man.” “The Reverend Jesse Jackson is Dead at 84. I knew him well, long before becoming President. He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and “street smarts.” He was very gregarious – Someone who truly loved people!” the president said in the post. “Jesse was a force of nature like few others before him. He had much to do with the Election, without acknowledgment or credit, of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand. He loved his family greatly, and to them I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed!” Trump declared.

Williams (@w_terrence) June 8, 2020 However, after Trump ran for office, Jackson and Trump’s relationship ended. NBC News provided more information on Jackson’s illness that led to his death: He was admitted to a hospital in November and had been living for more than a decade with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), according to his Rainbow PUSH Coalition. PSP affects patients’ ability to walk and swallow and can lead to dangerous complications. Jackson revealed he had Parkinson’s in 2017. He was treated as an outpatient at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago for at least two years before he shared the diagnosis with the public. Public observances will be held in Chicago and future plans for celebration of life events will be announced by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the Jackson family said in its statement Tuesday. Jackson was born in Greenville, South Carolina, and rose to prominence in the civil rights era, participating in demonstrations alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. His activism spanned decades, including two runs for the Democratic presidential nomination, in 1984 and 1988.
