Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
World Liberty Financial owned by the Trump family looks to cash in big time with launch of their USD1 stablecoin they say will ‘upgrade the dollar.’

There is nothing ‘accidental’ about the timing of this. A Trump family–backed venture unveiling a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency called USD1 and branding it as an “upgrade” to the U.S. dollar is not simply a fintech headline — it is a prophetic red flag. And Bible believers should not shrug this off as harmless innovation. This is not about “modernizing money.” It is about accelerating the migration of financial control from physical, decentralized cash into programmable, trackable, controllable digital infrastructure. And once that infrastructure is normalized, it will not matter who built it.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:3 (KJV)

In the entire 250-year history of the United States, no presidential family has profited off the office of the president to the degree that President Donald Trump and his family are doing right now. Remember the $30 million the Biden family is claimed to have made for selling access to the office? Ha! That amount is so small that to compare the two would be laughable. The Trump family, so far, has made nearly $4,000,000,000.00 to date, and that figure could easily quadruple itself by 2028.

But this is more than just a huuuuge payday for Trump INC., this is the foundational system for the Mark of the Beast that will ultimately control all buying and selling. You called them the Biden Crime Family when they profited, but you’re loving it when ‘Daddy’ Trump is the one doing the plundering. Isn’t ‘America First’ great?



Harbinger’s Daily
By Breanna Claussen: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s powerful message at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) has garnered well-deserved attention. Standing before a room of European and Western leaders, Rubio boldly exposed the folly of globalist policies and how they have been used to undermine sovereignty, national strength, and the Judeo-Christian foundation of Western civilization.

One particular statement was truly profound, and its tremendous accuracy stems from being bred out of a Biblical worldview.

Discussing the collapse of communism in Germany, Rubio warned that the celebration of this success in the West quickly morphed into an ill-conceived fantasy about the future of nations.

“The euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, ‘the end of history;’” Rubio emphasized, “that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order – an overused term – would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.”



Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: The latest long-term budget outlook from the Congressional Budget Office should have triggered emergency hearings, prime-time presidential addresses, and wall-to-wall media coverage. Instead, it landed with a dull thud. No urgency. No alarm. No real action. Yet buried inside that report is a blunt mathematical truth: the United States is speeding toward a debt crisis that will not be theoretical, political, or abstract. It will be personal. And when it arrives, it will reach straight into your wallet, your retirement, your job, and your family's future.

This year alone, the federal government is expected to spend $7.4 trillion while collecting just $5.6 trillion. That's a $1.8 trillion deficit added to the national credit card in a single year. According to projections, deficits will surpass $3 trillion annually by the mid-2030s, with a staggering $24.4 trillion added to the debt over the next decade. That number is so large it almost stops feeling real. But make no mistake: it is real. And someone will pay it.

Here's the part most Americans don't realize. The biggest threat isn't military spending, foreign aid, or government salaries. The real driver of future debt is built into the system itself. Mandatory spending programs that run on autopilot will consume nearly $50 trillion over the next ten years. Add income-security programs, veterans' benefits, and federal retirement obligations, and you're looking at another $8 trillion. That averages nearly $6 trillion every year before Congress even votes on a single new policy.



Israel 365 News
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: The ground shook in Iran on the first day of Ramadan — and it shook in a place that every Jew on earth knows by name. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck the Iranian province of Khuzestan on Thursday, hitting a region that sits atop one of the most prophetically charged pieces of real estate on the planet: ancient Shushan — the city of Esther, the city of Mordecai, the city where the Jewish people once came within a decree’s breadth of annihilation — and where God turned the tables on their would-be destroyers. That was 2,500 years ago. Purim is in ten days.

Shushan — known today as Susa, or Shush in Persian — is located in Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited settlements on earth, with history stretching back approximately 7,000 years. It is the city that anchors the entire Purim story. It is where Haman, the Agagite, plotted the genocide of the Jewish people. It is where Esther risked her life before the king. It is where lots — purim — were cast to determine the date of Jewish destruction, and where those lots were ultimately turned against those who cast them. And now, on the eve of Purim 5785, the earth beneath Shushan shook.

The name of God does not appear once in the Book of Esther. That is not an oversight. The Sages teach that this concealment is itself the message: God works through hester panim — the hiding of the face — through what appears to be natural events, through timing that looks like coincidence until you step back and see the whole picture. The earthquake that just struck Shushan on the first day of Ramadan, ten days before Purim, is exactly the kind of event the Sages would recognize as the hand of the Ribono Shel Olam — the Master of the Universe — moving through nature itself.

But there is a second, deeper prophetic layer here, and it runs through Ezekiel.



Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: U.S. Embassy Debunks Tucker Carlson’s False “Detention” Claim in Israel

Tucker Carlson wasn’t “detained” in Israel.

He paid thousands of dollars to use the exclusive Fattal VIP Terminal at Ben Gurion Airport — a private concierge facility designed for dignitaries, celebrities, members of Congress, athletes, and wealthy travelers who prefer privacy over waiting in public lines.

The terminal includes:

Private suites

Conference rooms

Upscale dining and drinks

Dedicated passport control and security screening away from the main terminal

In other words, Carlson chose luxury and convenience — and later tried to spin it as mistreatment

By Robert Spencer: It wasn’t a Mamdani Mart, but it was a good indication of what the socialist grocery stores that Comrade Mayor promised to bestow upon New York City will be like. Last week, the cryptocurrency outfit Polymarket opened, for five days only, what it billed as “New York’s First Free Grocery Store.” And so the triumph of socialism was on full display in the Big Apple, right? Well, socialism certainly was, but “triumph” wasn’t exactly the word.

Fox News reported Thursday that “in a busy stretch of restaurants and boutiques in the West Village, hundreds of New Yorkers queued up outside a pop-up shop offering free groceries.”

That’s right: the first glory of socialism that New York’s First Free Grocery Store brought to Gotham was long lines. As one of the last sclerotic rulers of the declining Soviet Union, Konstantin U. Chernenko told the Politburo in 1985: “Comrades, it is not unusual for one type of merchandise or another to disappear from shop counters, goods that are often the easiest to make and the most needed on a daily basis.”




Leo Hohmann’s Newsletter
By Leo Hohmann: President Donald Trump just ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture to make more poisonous glyphosate, while granting legal protection for makers of proven-dangerous herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup.

Invoking the Defense Production Act, Trump on Wednesday designated glyphosate-based herbicides and elemental phosphorus as “critical to national defense” and ordered Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to prioritize and secure domestic supplies while also granting producers of these chemicals legal immunity from any lawsuits resulting from damage their products may cause to Americans’ health.

This is no different than the federal government granting legal immunity to vaccine makers during the Reagan administration, and we see how well that has worked out.

Hope For Our Times
 Today in Prophecy 02-19-26

Welcome to The Truth Daily News with Pastor Tom Huges: Breaking headlines including reports of Prince Andrew’s arrest tied to the Epstein scandal and raises questions about whether it’s genuine accountability or a distraction. He also responds to claims about Christians “disappearing” from Israel, pushing back against what he calls provable misinformation, and addresses broader concerns surrounding media narratives, global leadership, and shifting alliances in the Middle East.

Drawing from Scripture, including Jeremiah and Revelation, Pastor Tom emphasizes the rise of deception in the last days and urges believers to stay grounded in the whole counsel of God’s Word rather than being swayed by political spin or cultural confusion.
