Designating October 26, 2019, as the "Day of the
Deployed".
Whereas more than 2,100,000 individuals serve as members of the
Armed Forces of the United States;
Whereas several hundred thousand members of the Armed Forces
rotate each year through deployments to more than 150 countries in every region
of the world;
Whereas more than 2,000,000 members of the Armed Forces have
deployed to the area of operations of the United States Central Command since
the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
Whereas the United States is kept strong and free by the loyal
military personnel from the total force, which is comprised of the regular
components, the National Guard, and the Reserves, who protect the precious
heritage of the United States through their declarations and actions;
Whereas the United States remains committed to providing the
fullest possible accounting for personnel missing from past conflicts ranging
from World War II through current day conflicts;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces serving at home and abroad
have courageously answered the call to duty to defend the ideals of the United States
and to preserve peace and freedom around the world;
Whereas the United States remains committed to easing the
transition from deployment abroad to service at home for members of the Armed
Forces and the families of the members;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces personify the virtues of
patriotism, service, duty, courage, and sacrifice;
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces make
important and significant sacrifices for the United States; and
Whereas the Senate has designated October 26 as the "Day of
the Deployed" since 2011: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate-
(1) designates October 26, 2019, as the "Day of the
Deployed";
(2) honors the deployed members of the Armed Forces of the
United States and the families of the members;
(3) calls on the people of the United States to reflect on the
service of those members of the Armed Forces, wherever the members serve, past,
present, and future; and
(4) encourages the people of the United States to observe the
Day of the Deployed with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Lessons of the Trump Turkey matter
President Donald Trump used a Teddy Roosevelt foreign policy tool to minimize military action against the Kurds and to bring Turkey inline-speak softly (if that's possible for the president) and carry a big stick. Trump said Wednesday, "Early this morning, the government of Turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria, and making the ceasefire permanent. And it will indeed be permanent. However you would also define the word "permanent" in that part of the world as somewhat questionable, we all understand that. So the sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that we're not happy with." No US troops. No American lives lost.
Trump is not convinced that the US must meddle in this affair. He said, "American forces defeated 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate during the last two years. We thank the Syrian Democratic Forces for their sacrifices in this effort. They've been terrific. Now Turkey, Syria, and others in the region must work to ensure that ISIS does not regain any territory. It's their neighborhood; they have to maintain it. They have to take care of it." Trump also states that the Kurds are grateful to the US. Trump said, "I have just spoken to General Mazloum, a wonderful man, the Commander-in-Chief of the SDF Kurds. And he was extremely thankful for what the United States has done. Could not have been more thankful."
Referencing the previous president's Arab Spring that destabilized the entire Middle East, Trump said, "Across the Middle East, we have seen anguish on a colossal scale. We have spent $8 trillion on wars in the Middle East, never really wanting to win those wars. But after all that money was spent and all of those lives lost, the young men and women gravely wounded - so many - the Middle East is less safe, less stable, and less secure than before these conflicts began. The same people pushing for these wars are often the ones demanding America open its doors to unlimited migration from war-torn regions, importing the terrorism and the threat of terrorism right to our own shores. But not anymore. My administration understands that immigration security is national security." So do you see the lessons in all this?
This president is very deliberate with his actions. He is willing to take the heat for what he does. He will leverage American power to compel world leaders toward American interests. This is what upsets the establishment that acts on partisan agendas the same way every time expecting different results. It is also a strategic long game that Trump plays very well. Having said that, there were some curious and notable aspects to the entire Turkey/Kurd/Syria move. It appears to leave Russia in a dominant position with the Kurds, Iran, and Syria. It holds end-time player Turkey at bay. We know, as Trump has said, this peace is "questionable." It is a calm before a storm. As Christ said in Matthew 24:6," And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

Legislative Program for next week
The House will consider H.R. 823, the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act; H.R. 2181, the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act; and H.R. 1373, the Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act. These three bills all recognize the need to protect some of America's most iconic and important public lands.
The House, Mr. Speaker, will also consider H.R. 4695, the Protect Against Conflict by Turkey Act. This bipartisan legislation, cosponsored by the chair and ranking member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, provides a strong, targeted response to the crisis caused by Turkey's invasion of Northern Syria. It sanctions senior Turkish officials involved in the decision and those committing human rights abuses, and penalizes Turkish financial institutions involved in perpetuating President Erdogan's practices.
Lastly, the House will consider H.Res. 296 affirming the United States' record on the Armenian Genocide.

Operation Restoration
BULLETIN!! PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE:
712-770-5350
150411#
This week's topic: Repentance for occult activity in America
Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .
"Operation Restoration"
This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!
"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.
It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.
Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:
712-770-5350
Access Code: 150411#
Each
week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until
Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer
before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land."
Amen. Access Code: 150411#
