The ex-partner of a Florida mayor was found deceased in an apparent suicide. Daniel Curran, 35, was found dead outside of an apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday morning. Curran was briefly engaged to Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, a Democrat, last year. The Democratic mayor is 72 years old. Florida mayor's ex-fiancé, 35, commits suicide on his birthday – months after he allegedly pummeled the 72-year-old pol https://t.co/N74wJg7FUX pic.twitter.com/PWosRstdqf — New York Post (@nypost) April 10, 2026 More from the New York Post: Trantalis, 72, started dating Curran in March 2025 and by July the pair were engaged. But in September, he suddenly filed for a domestic violence injunction against Curran. The injunction was set to expire on Dec. 3, but Curran allegedly violated it and showed up at Trantalis’ home on Nov. 1. Curran was insistent on reconnecting and a brawl quickly broke out between the pair. Curran allegedly shoved the mayor, who tried to fight back before being dragged to the ground. The former flame allegedly hauled Trantalis 15 feet across the street — causing the mayor to suffer various injuries to his wrist, leg and knee. Curran was arrested four days later after he returned to Trantalis’ home. Fort Lauderdale police said they received a call for a suicide at a high-rise building, CBS News noted. “The police’s preliminary information revealed that Curran jumped from the 12th-floor balcony of the building,” the outlet stated. Ex-partner accused of assaulting Fort Lauderdale mayor dies by suicide https://t.co/jDNGe3jC8W — Miami Herald (@MiamiHerald) April 9, 2026 CBS News shared further: Both he and the mayor appeared in court on Wednesday, where modifications were made to the court order after Trantalis told the court that he felt Curan was no longer a threat. According to his arrest report, he was charged last year with battery on a person 65 years of age or older and violating an injunction for protection against domestic violence. Investigators said officers saw Curran in Trantalis’ driveway despite there being an active protection order in place that barred him from approaching the mayor. The two had been in a relationship and lived together since March 2025, according to the affidavit.

The Selective Service System aims to automatically register eligible men into the U.S. military draft pool by December, USA TODAY reports. According to the outlet, the Selective Service System “submitted a proposed rule for automatic registration to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.” Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in Decemberhttps://t.co/AGEzPTVeBd — The Hill (@thehill) April 8, 2026 More from USA TODAY: The new automatic registration process was approved by Congress under the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2026, which President Donald Trump signed into law in December 2025. According to SSS website, the agency will implement the switch to automatic registration by December, creating a “streamlined registration process and corresponding workforce realignment.” Here’s what to know about the new military draft registration process. Most male U.S. citizens ages 18-25 are required to register with SSS, though there has not been an active military draft since 1973, according to the agency’s website. Now, the agency is moving to an automatic registration process, rather than requiring eligible men to sign up manually. “From 1948 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the armed forces which could not be filled through voluntary means. Induction authority expired in 1973, but the Selective Service System remained in existence in ‘standby’ to support the all-volunteer force in case of an emergency. Registration was suspended early in 1975 and the Selective Service System entered into ‘deep standby,'” the Selective Service System website says. “Beginning in late 1979, a series of ‘revitalization’ efforts were begun in an effort to upgrade the System’s capability for rapid mobilization in an emergency. In the summer of 1980, registration was resumed. Presently, young men must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday,” it continued. Young men in the U.S. will be automatically registered into the military draft pool by this December through a measure signed into law last December, formalizing a practice already conducted in much of the country. https://t.co/VSwDKir3qz — ABC News (@ABC) April 10, 2026 The Hill noted: The change, which was meant to save money, “transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” according to the website. The proposed rule is currently under review by the regulatory affairs office and awaiting finalization. The U.S. has not had a draft since the Vietnam War, with military service being voluntary since 1973. But former President Jimmy Carter in 1980 reinstated the Selective Service in the event of a “national emergency,” where the registry could be used to “provide personnel to the Department of War and alternative service for conscientious objectors, if authorized by the President and Congress.” Many have questioned whether a U.S. military draft could take place amid the war in Iran, which is currently in a tenuous two-week ceasefire.

This is bad, even for Kamala Harris….and that’s a very low bar. In fact, it’s widely believed that no one knows the true speaking voice of Kamala Harris, not even Kamala Harris! Because she’s so fake and so phony, she long ago forgot how to speak in her own voice, she just speaks in whatever (bad) accent suits her best for the moment. Speaking to a group of black people in Atlanta? Use this one: Kamala Harris Rolls Out New Accent: “I’m In These Streets!” In Detroit?

It’s all over Twitter from the big Democrat accounts… Kamala Harris is holding bigger rallies than President Trump! People like Harry Sisson have been creaming their pants all day posting about the “huge” crowd size: WOW! The crowd at the Harris Walz rally in Wisconsin just began chanting, “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!” You’re damn right it does! Blown away by this video. Share this everywhere. pic.twitter.com/ChdSUhOuGy — Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) August 7, 2024 So…is it true? Is Kamala Harris suddenly drawing bigger crowds than Trump? Is she suddenly the most popular person in America, people hanging on her every word (salad)? Ehhhh, not exactly. Allow me to explain…. In 2016, President Trump started doing something unprecedented — holding massive rallies all across America. It hadn’t really been done before. Previously, political candidates would maybe fill a local high school gym. But never a stadium or arena. Trump was different. He changed the game. And I’ve always said he did it for TWO reasons. One was simply to get people excited and to “campaign” just like everyone else but only bigger. But the second reason, and I believe the bigger reason, was to SHOW America that there’s no way Hillary could win and it not be rigged. While Trump was filling stadiums, Hillary couldn’t fill that proverbial high school gym, and all of America saw it. Trump’s popularity was literally TOO BIG TO STEAL. It was so smart and calculated. Then in 2020, they knew they couldn’t allow that to happen again so they basically shut down the world. Bye, bye rallies. “Of course Joe Biden can’t draw a crowd because NO ONE CAN because you can’t be closer than 6 feet from the next person!” Does it all make sense now? Remember those “COVID hula hoop circles”? It’s not cause Joe was unpopular….nah, no way! It’s because….COVID! But now we’re in 2024 and Trump is drawing massive crowds again. So what do they do now? You can’t shut down the world again, that would be too obvious. So the only option left is Kamala has to have equally big crowds as Trump. Simple! But how? Easy…you actually make them concerts with super popular musicians and you just let Kamala “tag along”. That’s exactly what happened in Eau Claire today. This is not a Harris Rally, this is a “Bon Iver” concert: OMG! The Kamala Harris Rally Line in Eau Claire, Wisconsin is soooo long! What’s not being reported is that they got Bon Iver, who is a local from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, a Grammy-Award winning music artist to perform at the rally.

I have a really awful update to share with you. Former Senator Ben Sasse from Nebraska is one of those guys seemingly in the Thomas Massie / Rand Paul category of people. Seemingly very likeable in general. “Right” on most policies, at least in a vacuum. Seems like a really good guy at his core. But a pretty extreme anti-Trumper and never helped get any MAGA policies through Congress. Setting all of that aside, I wouldn’t want what he is going through to happen to my worst enemy. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer back in December and given 3-4 months to live….and it’s currently April, so do the math. He sat down for a new interview this week, and two things immediately jumped out at me. One, he sadly looks absolutely awful.  I don’t know that I’ve ever seen cancer look this bad before: Just heartbreaking. The second thing that immediately jumps out is the strength of his faith and the incredible way in which he is navigating this. Take a look here: When confronted with the intimate reality of my own mortality, I hope to face it with the same profound, godly grace that Former U.S. Senator Ben Sasse has displayed. https://t.co/WLNkW0K5gB — Breanna Morello (@BreannaMorello) April 10, 2026 Backup here on Rumble if needed: Here was my original report from December after the diagnosis: Vaxxed and Boosted Hardcore Anti-Trump GOP Senator Announces Stage 4 Cancer: “I am going to die” I want to be very clear at the top of this article that I never celebrate anyone getting sick or dying, even the worst of the worst. That said, I also have to report factually, and everything I put in this headline is 100% factual. Former U.S. Senator Ben Sasse was proudly vaxxed and boosted.  I know because he told us.  Constantly. It’s also true that he was one of the most notorious anti-Trumpers in Congress, especially on the GOP side. And sadly, it’s true that he revealed today that he was Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and will die soon.

Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence.… — Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) December 23, 2025 Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do. I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all. Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints. There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come. Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son. A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears. Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet. Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective: “When we’ve been there 10,000 years…We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise.” I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape. But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9). With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices, Ben — and the Sasses Now I will bring the receipts… Ben Sasse made it public knowledge that he was proudly vaxxed and boosted: Wondering how many others you wiped out. Repent!! pic.twitter.com/R457jQka53 — Thomas Paine (@Thomas1774Paine) December 23, 2025 Folks, I’m not saying that is the cause of his cancer, but I am saying historically speaking a man of his age contracting Stage 4 pancreatic cancer would be rare, and sadly “Turbo Cancers” have suddenly surged since about the 2020/2021 era. Either way, it’s extremely sad. Also, here is a brief history on his “Anti-Trumpism”: 2016 Election Sasse refused to endorse or vote for Trump, stating he’d seek a third-party conservative option and warning that if the GOP became “the party of David Duke, Donald Trump,” he’d leave it. During Trump’s Presidency He repeatedly criticized Trump’s character, foreign policy (e.g., “kisses dictators’ butts”), handling of COVID-19, treatment of women, and alleged flirting with white supremacists. Sasse mocked evangelicals in private (per his own comments) and accused Trump of treating the presidency like a family business. Impeachments First Impeachment (2020): Voted to acquit. Second Impeachment (2021): Was one of only seven Republicans to vote to convict over January 6, calling Trump’s actions divisive and oath-breaking. Post-Presidency Even after leaving the Senate in 2023 (to become University of Florida president, a role he resigned from in 2024), recent reports (as of December 2025) still describe him as a “longtime critic” who rebuked Trump’s influence on the party. But despite all the Trump hate, I never want to see anyone suffer or get sick or die (before their time), so when I saw his post I immediately replied to it with this: BEN YOU NEED B17 INTENSIVE IV THERAPY IMMEDIATELY!https://t.co/4Umn1gYvYz — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) December 23, 2025 Ben, please take this seriously… What do you have to lose? TRY HIGH-DOSE B17 IV THERAPY! https://wltreport.com/2025/12/04/if-you-know-anyone-who-has-cancer-watch/ I am SO excited to bring you this one… Because I think we can really help a lot of people! And because this got really personal for me today….allow me to explain. I’ve been working with the awesome people over at the Richardson Nutritional Center for a few months now, and I so greatly enjoy it! They’re on the front lines of the truth movement just like I am, but I work in politics and they work in medicine. But it’s the same story, same battle.  A massive fight against TRUTH. In their particular case, they stand on mountains of evidence stretching back decades and even centuries, tested, retested, confirmed and validated by hundreds if not thousands of different doctors and scientists who all came to the same conclusion — essentially, that cancer is not a “disease” you catch or develop, it’s actually a “symptom” of a poor diet.  Specifically, a diet severely lacking in something called B17/Amygdalin. And it got personal for me today because I was scheduled to have John Richardson, Jr. on my show, The Daily Truth Report today — we’ve had it scheduled for a few weeks — and suddenly right before the interview I found out a close friend and close friend of the family was just diagnosed with serious Stage 4 cancer. So as I’m getting ready to have John on the show, I’m digesting this news and suddenly it all hit me differently. I’ve been helping them get this word out as best I can because I believe we can truly help thousands of people, and I believe in that deeply — but it hits different when it hits close to home. So I told John that I really wanted to focus the show on showing how “normal” this is.  How this is actually the true science, the real science, stretching back centuries!  I wanted to create a video that would not sound like a “conspiracy theory” when you shared it with friends or family who just found out they have cancer.  I wanted something people could proudly share which is ROCK SOLID. And that’s what we created today, I am so proud of this show! We covered it all — the medical research and peer-reviewed studies stretching back decades and centuries!  New legislation in 27 states confirming the legitimacy of this research and use of B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile.  And we even showed a “mainstream” CNBC article that confirmed EVERYTHING we talked about in the interview, documenting a tribe where people routinely live to over 100 and have never once had a single instance of cancer — and the CNBC article itself confirms the #1 reason is their diet high in Apricot Seeds which contain, you guessed it, concentrated B17/Amygdalin. We also discussed G. Edward Griffin, who famously wrote “The Creature From Jekyll Island” which is the most authoritative and most frequently cited book exposing the Federal Reserve system.  I bet you’re familiar with it. But did you know that BEFORE he wrote that book he wrote a book called “A World Without Cancer” and it’s all about everything I am telling you? Yes!! We also cited name after name after name of famous cancer researchers spanning back decades who all came to this same conclusion that this stuff is real, and then they were silenced for it.  But the truth somehow always finds a way to rise to the surface, doesn’t it? Folks, I don’t do Fake News around here, and this interview proves it. This is rock solid, documented, footnoted, researched and full of over one hour of fact after fact after fact. Please, if you know anyone who has cancer, please show them this article or this video. THANK YOU! Watch here: And now here are all the links you need… Everything we discussed in the interview can be found here: https://rncstore.com/wlt They were nice enough to set me up with a promo code so use WLT at checkout and it will save you 10% off whatever you order.

And I would also add this: I would never advise anyone to STOP their current cancer treatments if you are on them.  The only thing I would say is what do you have to lose?  Why not try this in parallel?  If Rick and all the other people giving their testimonies are wrong and it doesn’t work for you, what harm is there in trying?  That would be how I would approach it, and I also plan to start taking a daily dose as preventative care. Thank you!

Pope Francis was bad, there no doubt about that. I covered him extensively for over a decade and documented all of his heretical teachings in great detail. When we got Pope Leo from the Southside of Chicago, I had high hopes we would get someone better.  Someone much better. Early on, there were glimpses that this guy might be much more based that Francis, which really wouldn’t be all that hard to do.  Very low bar. But pretty quickly things started to go off the rails…. For example, the time he blessed a giant block of ice in the name of “climate change”: Pope Leo Makes A RIDICULOUS “Blessing” No joke, that is real! Or how about this take on what it means to be “Pro Life”? Pope Leo Makes Absurd Claim About Being “Pro Life” Another bad take Leo! But today he really came out swinging, telling the world that “God does not bless any conflict”. See here: God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient… — Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) April 10, 2026 He followed that up with this: Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain… — Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) April 10, 2026 While it certainly seems clear that God does not support violence and he loves mercy and peace (God blesses the peacemakers), it’s quite another thing to say God does not bless any conflict. Serious question: has this guy never actually read the Bible? God is in the center of conflict almost from cover to cover of the Bible! This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I pulled this together as just a starting point of each time God has not only blessed conflict, but directly commanded it: Here is a comprehensive list of instances in the Bible where God explicitly blesses, endorses, intervenes in, or fights in conflicts (primarily physical wars or battles, but also including judgments and spiritual/eschatological conflicts). This draws from exhaustive compilations of biblical battles, cross-referenced with Scripture. The Bible records dozens of such events, mostly in the Old Testament (OT), where God is portrayed as a divine warrior (e.g., Exodus 15:3: “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name”; Isaiah 42:13). God’s involvement includes: Direct commands to wage war (often as “holy war” or herem against specific wicked peoples like Canaanites or Amalekites, per Deuteronomy 7:1-2, 20:16-18). Promises of victory or blessings for obedience. Miracles, strategic guidance, or supernatural aid (e.g., hailstones, confusion among enemies, angels). Raising leaders (judges, kings) via His Spirit. Punishment of His people through defeat when they disobey. The New Testament (NT) shifts emphasis to spiritual warfare, with eschatological (end-times) conflicts in Revelation. Not every skirmish is listed (the Bible has hundreds of military references), but this covers all major explicit cases from historical, theological, and compiled sources, organized chronologically/by period for clarity. I’ve noted God’s specific role, key verses, and whether it’s a blessing/endorsement, direct fight, or both. 1. Patriarchal Period (Genesis) Abraham’s rescue of Lot (Gen 14:1-20): Abraham defeats kings from Shinar/Babylon and allies. God blesses the victory; Melchizedek attributes it to “God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth” (v. 19-20). Abraham tithes in response. Jacob’s family vs. Shechem (Gen 34): Simeon and Levi attack after Dinah’s violation. God is not explicitly involved or endorsing (context implies human action, with later rebuke in Gen 49:5-7). 2. Exodus and Wilderness Period Egyptian pursuit at the Red Sea (Ex 14:1-31): Pharaoh’s army vs. Israel. God fights directly: parts the sea for escape, drowns the Egyptians. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (v. 14). Moses’ song: “The Lord is a warrior” (Ex 15:3). Battle with Amalekites at Rephidim (Ex 17:8-15): God blesses Israel’s victory as Moses’ raised arms (with Aaron/Hur) lead to triumph. Altar named “The Lord is my Banner.” Disobedience at Kadesh Barnea (Num 14:39-45; Deut 1:41-46): Israel attacks Amalekites/Amorites without God’s command. God explicitly forbids it; Israel loses. (Negative endorsement example.) Hormah vs. Canaanites (Num 21:1-3): Israel vows destruction; “The Lord listened to Israel’s request” and grants victory. Vs. Sihon king of Amorites and Og of Bashan (Num 21:21-35; Deut 2:24-3:11): God commands attack and says, “Do not fear him, for I have handed him over” (Num 21:34). Complete victory. Vs. Midianites (Num 31:1-12): God commands Moses: “Execute vengeance for the Israelites against the Midianites.” Victory and plunder divided. 3. Conquest of Canaan (Joshua) God endorses the entire campaign as judgment on Canaanite wickedness (Deut 9:5; Josh 11:20) and fights for Israel. Jericho (Josh 6): God commands march, trumpets, and shout; walls collapse miraculously. “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands” (v. 2). Ai (Josh 7-8): Initial loss due to Achan’s sin (God reveals and punishes). After obedience, God gives strategy and victory. Southern campaign vs. Amorite coalition (Josh 10): God promises victory, throws enemies into confusion, sends hailstones (more die from stones than sword), and stops the sun/moon until battle ends. “The Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel” (v. 42). Northern campaign and remaining conquests (Josh 11:1-23; 10:28-43): God hardens enemies’ hearts for total destruction per command to Moses; “The Lord handed them over to Israel” (11:8). Summary: God fought for them across all cities/kings. 4. Period of the Judges God raises deliverers and intervenes in cycles of oppression → repentance → victory (Judges pattern). Vs. Canaanites/Perizzites (Judg 1:1-5): “The Lord handed [them] over” to Judah. Partial conquests (Judg 1:8-2:3): God aids some (e.g., Judah in hill country) but withholds full drive-out due to disobedience (chariots, idolatry). Othniel vs. Aram (Judg 3:8-10): God raises Othniel; “The Spirit of the Lord came on him,” granting victory. Ehud vs. Moab/Ammon/Amalek (Judg 3:12-30): God raises Ehud; “The Lord has handed over your enemies” (v. 28). Shamgar vs. Philistines (Judg 3:31): Implied divine strength (one-line note in cycle). Deborah/Barak vs. Canaanites (Sisera/Jabin; Judg 4): God commands; throws Sisera’s army into confusion. “God subdued Jabin” (v. 23). Gideon vs. Midianites (Judg 6-8): God reduces army to 300 to show “My own hand has saved me” is false; sends panic so Midianites kill each other. Direct strategy and victory. Abimelech’s internal conflict vs. Shechem (Judg 9:22-57): God sends evil spirit to fulfill justice; Abimelech killed. Jephthah vs. Ammonites/Philistines (Judg 10-12): God hands over enemies (echoing earlier conquests). Samson vs. Philistines (Judg 13-16): Spirit empowers Samson repeatedly (e.g., 14:6, 15:14); final victory in death. Civil war: Israel vs. Benjamin (Judg 20-21): God directs battle order and grants victory after inquiry (punishment for Gibeah’s crime); also vs. Jabesh-Gilead. 5. United Monarchy (Samuel, Kings, Chronicles) Philistines capture Ark/early defeats (1 Sam 4): Loss due to misuse of Ark; God not endorsing. Samuel vs. Philistines (1 Sam 7): Repentance; “The Lord thundered… threw them into confusion.” Saul vs. Ammonites (1 Sam 11): Spirit of God empowers Saul for victory. Vs. Philistines at Michmash (1 Sam 13-14): Jonathan’s faith; God sends earthquake and terror, saving Israel. Saul vs. Amalekites (1 Sam 15): God commands total destruction; Saul’s partial obedience leads to rejection. David vs. Goliath/Philistines (1 Sam 17): David declares victory “in the name of the Lord of Hosts”; God delivers. David’s various campaigns (1 Sam 23-30; 2 Sam 5, 8, 10; 1 Chr 11-12, 18): God directs (e.g., “Go up” vs. Philistines, 2 Sam 5:19-25); blesses conquests establishing kingdom. Internal: David vs. Ishbosheth, Absalom, Sheba (2 Sam 2-4, 18, 20): God supports David as anointed. David vs. Gibeonite avengers (2 Sam 21): Divine resolution. 6. Divided Kingdom and Later Kings (Kings/Chronicles) God blesses obedient kings; judges disobedience via defeat. Abijah (Judah) vs. Jeroboam (Israel; 2 Chr 13): God aids Judah. Asa vs. Cushites (million-man army; 2 Chr 14): Victory through prayer. Jehoshaphat vs. Moab/Ammon/Edom (2 Chr 20): God commands “stand still”; sends confusion so enemies destroy each other.

Later defeats (e.g., Babylonian captivity; 2 Kgs 25): God uses enemies as judgment (endorsed against His people for sin). 7. Prophetic/Other OT References God endorses future or symbolic conflicts (e.g., prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Joel on nations as instruments). Psalms celebrate God as warrior (e.g., Ps 18:39; 44:5; 144:1 – “trains my hands for war”). General laws blessing just/ commanded war (Deut 20). 8. New Testament and Eschatological NT emphasizes spiritual over physical conflict (Jesus: “My kingdom is not of this world,” John 18:36; Eph 6:10-18 armor of God). Destruction of Jerusalem (AD 70; Luke 19:41-44, 21:5-24; Matt 24; Mark 13): Jesus prophesies judgment (God-endorsed via Roman armies). Spiritual warfare (ongoing): Believers fight “not against flesh and blood” (Eph 6:12; 2 Cor 10:3-5). War in heaven (Rev 12:7-17): Michael vs. Satan/dragon; God’s side victorious. Armageddon (Rev 16:12-16; 19:11-21): Christ (Faithful and True) rides to war, defeats Beast/kings. God/Jesus fights final battle. Final victory (Rev 20:1-15): God defeats Satan, death, and evil forever. Additional notes: God often conditions blessing on obedience/faith (e.g., “if you follow me” promises in Deuteronomy/Joshua). Losses occur when Israel disobeys or acts without Him. Non-battle divine “conflicts” (e.g., Flood, Sodom/Gomorrah, Egyptian plagues) show God judging wickedness but are not interpersonal wars. Total explicit battles with God’s involvement exceed 40-50 major ones, plus patterns in every book of history. “God is frequently called a “warrior” or “man of war” (Exodus 15:3; Psalm 24:8; Isaiah 42:13) and promises to fight for the obedient (e.g., 2 Chronicles 32:7-8; Zechariah 14:3). Many victories are attributed explicitly to divine action so Israel cannot boast (e.g., Gideon). Losses often occur due to disobedience/sin (e.g., initial Ai, 1 Samuel 4 Ark capture), showing conditional blessing.” So with all due respect to the Pope, I had to post this reply to him on Twitter/X: Bro has clearly never read the Old Testament or Revelation. — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) April 10, 2026 I’ll end with someone I consider a much greater authority on Biblical matters that Pope Leo….Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Here is a great teaching from Dr. Heiser on self-defense and just the use of force in general vis-a-vie what the Bible teaches: RELATED REPORT: “God’s Influencer” — Catholic Church Declares It’s First Millennial Saint The Catholic Church is once again doing what the Catholic Church does best…focusing on anything possible except Jesus Christ, namely Mary and the Saints. In this particular case, it’s the Saints. And they just minted a new one! Meet Carlo Acutis, who became known as “God’s Influencer” for all the great work he did online spreading the message of the Catholic Church. Good on him!  Seems like a great kid.  While I disagree with some of the behavior of the Catholic Church, this seems like a genuinely great kid, and sadly he died of cancer at age 15. He has now been declared a Saint by Leo from the South Side: Carlo Acutis, 'God's influencer' who died at age 15, has been declared a saint by Pope Leo He built websites to spread Catholic teaching and is credited with two miracles pic.twitter.com/ecvQ3ZXxBk — Dexerto (@Dexerto) September 8, 2025 I don’t know a ton about Catholicism, but I believe you have to perform two miracles to become a Saint. So what were his? Once again, I don’t want to diminish the fact that this seems like a great kid, but this feels a little hocus pocus to me: The kid in question is Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old Italian teenager (born in London) who died of leukemia in 2006 and was recently canonized as the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint on September 7, 2025. Two miracles have been officially attributed to his intercession, paving the way for his sainthood: Healing of a Brazilian boy (2012):A young boy named Mattheus Vianna, who suffered from a rare pancreatic disorder that caused severe vomiting and prevented him from keeping food down (leaving him underweight and at risk of death), visited Acutis’s tomb in Assisi, Italy. After touching a relic and praying, the boy was instantly cured, able to eat normally without further issues. Medical tests in 2014 confirmed the complete healing, which the Vatican recognized as a miracle in 2020, leading to Acutis’s beatification. Healing of a Costa Rican student (2022):Valeria Valverde, a 21-year-old university student from Costa Rica, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury from a bicycle accident in Florence, Italy, leaving her in a coma with little chance of survival. Her mother traveled to Acutis’s tomb in Assisi to pray for her recovery. Shortly after, Valeria began breathing on her own, regained consciousness, and made a full recovery despite initial dire medical predictions. The Vatican approved this as the second miracle in 2024, enabling Acutis’s canonization. My real beef? Who is getting the glory amidst all of this? Have you seen Jesus Chris mentioned even once? Or is there a lot of glory going to a 15-year-old kid and his “magical” tomb? Hmmm…. Then there’s this — apparently, during the ceremony they claimed that Saint Carlo was now up in the skies amidst the constellations: Hmmm, ok. Again, I keep missing any reference to Jesus Christ, but maybe that’s just me. Magical tomb?  Check. Worshipping the stars?  Check. Making human beings Saints?  Check. Jesus Christ?  Missing. Then there is this: Oh my goodness, so he’s just “on display” now for all of eternity? Again, so people can go visit him and marvel at him? Does the glory go to him or to Jesus? And what kind of witchcraft does it take to preserve a body like this and keep it perfect for years to come with no decay?  Pretty creepy if you ask me. Here is more from CNN: An Italian teenager who liked playing video games and making funny films of his pets became the Catholic Church’s first “millennial” saint on Sunday. Carlo Acutis, who was just 15 when he died from leukaemia in 2006, used his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith, setting up a website documenting reports of miracles. Nicknamed “God’s influencer,” he is seen as a pioneer of the church’s evangelizing efforts in the digital world. Frequently depicted wearing jeans, a T-shirt and sneakers, Acutis looks very different from the saints of old and he has gained a global following among young people as a relatable saint. His canonization took place alongside that of another young man, Pier Giorgio Frassatti, who died in 1925 at age 24. The saint-making ceremony was the first presided over by Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, with thousands of young people in St. Peter’s Square. Large crowds gathered Sunday at the Vatican city, waving signs and flags bearing Acutis’ photograph. Jubilant observers applauded following the teenager’s canonization by Pope Leo. The canonization of the youthful saints comes at a time when the Catholic Church, led by an all-male hierarchy where senior figures are usually over 60, is exploring new ways to engage younger generations. A crisis involving clerical sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults has had a catastrophic impact on the church’s credibility. But while the long-term trend in the West suggests young people are increasingly disengaged with mainstream religion, recent surveys and anecdotal evidence point to a rise in interest in Catholicism among Gen Z in the United States and Europe. Acutis’ mother, Antonia Salzano, says she believes her son’s life and faith resonate with a generation of young people, particularly those navigating the complexities of a digital world. “Carlo is a message of hope, because Carlo says, ‘Yes, you have to use (the internet) for good.’ This why Pope Francis called Carlo God’s influencer,” she told CNN in Assisi earlier this year. Her son, she said, knew the “dark side” of the internet and was conscious of the addictiveness of video games, choosing only to play on his PlayStation for an hour a week.
