From: Iran is begging for negotiations so I'm sending Jared and Witkoff to: We're not sending anyone because we have all the cards. All within 24 hours.
Iran kept saying they won't negotiate with Jared Kushner (who they correctly see as an agent of Israel) or with Witkoff (who they think is dumb). They want someone on Vance's level.
And they kept saying they won't negotiate under a US blockade. But a huge group of people believe anything Trump says, even if he says the exact opposite the day before or they after.
Hence: Iran is on its knees begging for a deal and will give us everything we want: as we've been hearing for two months now.
Heavenly Father, thank You for preserving us through the night. Thank You for Your hand that held us while we slept and Your eyes that never closed while ours did.
Father, today we ask that our gifts open doors no human gatekeeper can close. "A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men." Proverbs 18:16.
Father, You did it for Daniel whose gift of interpretation brought him before Nebuchadnezzar, king of the most powerful empire on earth. Do it again for us today. Let our gifts carry us into rooms our CVs could never reach. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
