America’s biggest corruption scandal: Biden and his family made tens of millions from foreign sources, including China, falsely labeling the money as “loan repayments” and “investments.” While vice president, Biden abused his power to arrange meetings between foreign oligarchs and his son Hunter – despite repeatedly denying involvement. Congressman James Comer’s book “All the President’s Money” exposed these dealings through an official investigation. Just one week after its release – on President Trump’s inauguration day – Biden preemptively pardoned his family, proving their guilt and cementing his legacy as the most corrupt president in US history (Stephen Gardner (Taming Wall Street))

American seer Reverend Brandon Biggs shares prophetic vision for 2025 and beyond, in which the Lord revealed several key events, including: a) President Trump will “tame the Chinese dragon” through strategic actions, including at the Panama Canal, halting the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of the US government. b) President Trump will also tame North Korea and Russia, creating windows for God’s workers to save more souls. c) In Canada, a revival will spread from coast to coast after Prime Minister Trudeau is forced out of office, which is Divine retribution for allowing corruption to enter his government. d) A spiritual revival will sweep Europe, with French President Macron thwarted in his attempts to impose a demonic new world order; e) If the present system won’t change to more free and benevolent governing soon, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and his sister will be toppled, opening doors for the salvation of the North Korean people, whom the Lord “has not forgotten.” f) President Trump will strengthen America’s covenant with God through a new alliance with Israel, forming a relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu similar to Biblical figures David and Jonathan, who had a deep friendship. g) The US economy will crash, but President Trump will be guided by supernatural wisdom to begin rebuilding it, aided by the creation of the “Amero” currency between the US, Canada, and Mexico. h) Taiwan will see a rising sun, described as “gold with glory,” as its people’s prayers for salvation are answered. i) Terrorist attacks will strike Toronto [Canada], Pennsylvania and New York [US], alongside increased natural disasters worldwide such as earthquakes and fires (Ngẫm Radio)
