Bill Maher Stuns Audience with Eye-Opening Reading of DSA Platform
Over recent times, several key figures from the liberal spectrum have been coming to terms with a stark realization: the Democratic Party they once stood by seems to have strayed far from its original path. Among those acknowledging this shift is Bill Maher.
Known for his outspoken style, Maher has previously highlighted how he faced significant backlash from the left for the simple act of sitting down with former President Trump. His call for open dialogue was met with resistance, and only weeks ago, he made headlines for accusing the Democratic Party of succumbing to communist influences.
He hasn’t suggested a casual dalliance with such ideologies but rather an acceptance that has allowed these ideas to weave their way into the party’s fabric.
In a recent episode of his popular show, the veteran liberal commentator sought to underscore his point by doing something strikingly straightforward: he read excerpts from the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as well as statements from some of their promising voices and supporters.
The script was startlingly reminiscent of traditional communist declarations, with ideas centered around the appropriation of private assets and control over production. These are perspectives previously highlighted in numerous discussions, but they are revelations that Maher appears to be increasingly coming to terms with on his own accord.

NT Police Find Closure in Kumanjayi Little Baby Case Discovery
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this story includes the name and image of an Indigenous person who has passed away.
This article may be distressing to some readers.
Unintentionally thrust into the public eye, two dedicated Northern Territory Police officers have found themselves at the center of a heartbreaking case.
Sergeant Chris Harden and acting sergeant Karl von Minden were part of the team that discovered the body of a young girl identified as Kumanjayi Little Baby, located on the outskirts of Alice Springs.
In accordance with Warlpiri cultural customs, the name of the deceased has been altered, as traditional practices prohibit the mention of a person’s name after their passing.
The two officers spoke exclusively to SBS News for the first time about the enormous five-day search effort that made international headlines.
It culminated in the discovery of her remains, and within hours the arrest of 49-year-old Jefferson Lewis, who has been charged with her murder.
The two search and rescue specialists were having an extremely busy year. The top end of Australia is flood and cyclone central, and they’d been travelling from disaster to disaster.
Von Minden’s job was to coordinate and oversee the sprawling search operation that involved a call out for volunteers; hundreds arrived, some even flew to Alice Springs to help.
Harden was on the front lines of the grid search, walking metre by metre through buffel grass that had grown high and ominous in the summer rains, wrangling a group of volunteers each day.
“There was holes, washouts, everything which you just could not see,” Harden recalled.
“There was a big risk that someone was get bitten by a snake, fall down a hole, do an ankle. But everyone was united. The community were just unbelievable.”
Both of them barely slept and neither of them had worked on a search of that scale and complexity before.
“That was quite a unique operation, I think, across the territory. We have coordinated quite large search and rescues before, but never to the scale where we had so many civilian volunteers helping and the amount of people out there and the terrain that we were looking at,” von Minden said.
“You go outside and suddenly there’s 200 people volunteering, putting their name down, wanting to search,” Harden said.
They paid tribute to all the services that got involved.
Their police colleagues, the SES, Defence, fire services and all the government agencies and organisations that downed tools on their normal jobs to join forces in the quest to locate the little girl.
“If we didn’t have that, yeah, we could still be, you know, searching for her,” Harden said.
Hundreds of volunteers rolling up to walk the lands, cook the food and provide other support ended up being crucial; one even flew down from Darwin to lend a hand.
“It really was an honour to serve alongside all those people that came in and helped us,” von Minden said.
“It was a time that we really needed that support from the community, and they really stood up and helped us.”
After five days of around the clock efforts, Kumanjayi Little Baby’s body was found.
It was devastating.
“I think we were always confident we were going to get an outcome. It wasn’t the outcome that we were hoping,” Harden said quietly.
“Our mission was to was to find her and bring her back to a place of safety. We always had hope that we were going to find her, but yeah, as we know, it wasn’t the case.
“But at least there was closure for the family, for us, for the volunteers.”
‘We all had a purpose’
The Northern Territory Police executive director of cultural reform, Leanne Liddle, is an Arrente woman from central Australia.
She also became a public voice for Kumanjayi Little Baby’s family when they got the worst news any family can get.
Liddle has also been at the forefront of the efforts to tackle racism in the NT police force, and acknowledges the relationship between the police and Indigenous community in central Australia has been incredibly fraught after a series of death in custody investigations.
But she is hopeful the unity of the community and police in this moment will be a turning point for the relationship.
She described the two officers as “amazing people”.
“We were looking for a little lost girl in pink. We weren’t looking for a little lost Aboriginal girl who was at a town camp at the end of the day,” she said.
“We all had a purpose, and we all were involved, and that was what everybody wanted to do was to find this little girl. And though it was tragic that we found her, it was closure for the family, particularly mum.”
‘It’s been very humbling’
The two police officers have come to the north-east Arnhem Land Garma Festival as a way to come to terms with the enormity of the effort, and the aftermath.
“Watching the Garma Festival makes you proud to be an Australian when you’re here and a spectator involved,” von Minden said.
“It’s been very humbling,” Harden said.
“You move on, you get to that, and you don’t have time to reflect, and you don’t think about the impacts.
“I just didn’t think people sort of really sort of, yeah, showed that affection or care for us, and yeah, it’s yeah, it’s been very, very emotional, and yeah, I’ve been just yeah blown away with that response. It’s been great.”
“There’s this armour, you know, there’s this expectation that police officers, particularly in these roles, are hardened, they have very little emotion,” Liddle said.
“But the dignity and respect, and you know, the what I saw and behind the scenes and seeing the community, the respect they’ve showed them here while at Garma has just been incredible, and I think it goes towards healing.”
While both officers were front and centre of the search efforts and public communication throughout the search, they didn’t realise that people would recognise them.
They didn’t have time to watch the news or see how the story had spread across the country and the world.
“We don’t see that it’s a national on TV. That yeah, the whole Australia are behind her, and just you know, supporting the community and trying to hope that we do find come and try a little baby,” Harden said.
“Until you sort of get back to Darwin, have a time to sort of have a sleep, reflect, and you go, wow, we sort of were involved in something sort of quite remarkable.”

Kohberger Faces Daunting Challenge: Defense Strategy Echoes DC Sniper Case Struggles
Bryan Kohberger seeks to withdraw guilty plea in Idaho murder case
In a surprising turn of events, Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused in the tragic killings of four University of Idaho students, is seeking to retract his previous guilty plea. In a post-conviction petition, Kohberger claims he was subjected to ineffective legal counsel, coerced into the plea, misled by disinformation, and falsely promised certain outcomes. This legal maneuver aims to secure a new trial. While this move has left the victims’ families, including Kaylee Goncalves’ mother, disheartened, it hasn’t caught them off guard.
According to experts, Kohberger is facing formidable challenges in his bid to reverse his guilty plea in the murder case revolving around the four university students. A seasoned attorney, who once represented the infamous D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo and has a history of helping clients successfully withdraw pleas, explained the complexity of Kohberger’s situation.
Mark Petrovich, a lawyer with extensive experience in criminal defense and post-conviction proceedings, provided insight into this rare legal process. Speaking to News Media, Petrovich pointed out that defendants often struggle to rescind guilty pleas post-sentencing, particularly when the claims involve unrecognized exculpatory evidence prior to the plea agreement.
Petrovich advised against drawing too close a parallel between Kohberger’s current legal efforts and Malvo’s past appeals. The latter’s appeals were influenced by evolving constitutional laws concerning juvenile sentencing, whereas Kohberger is an adult attempting to nullify a plea deal strategically designed to sidestep the death penalty.
“This is truly a monumental uphill battle,” cautioned Petrovich. “First, convincing the judge to permit the plea withdrawal is challenging, and subsequently prevailing in potential new proceedings poses even greater difficulties due to substantial obstacles.”

Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 to the stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole after accepting a plea agreement that spared him from the death penalty.
In recent court filings, Kohberger claimed he was pressured into accepting the plea agreement, did not fully understand potentially exculpatory evidence before pleading guilty and was misled about the conditions he would face while incarcerated.
He contends those factors undermined the voluntariness of his decision to plead guilty.
Petrovich said he once represented a client who sought to withdraw a guilty plea before sentencing. A judge granted the request, the case proceeded to trial and the client was acquitted, but he said Kohberger’s circumstances are fundamentally different because he has already been sentenced.
In this Oct. 20, 2003 file photo, Lee Boyd Malvo listens to court proceedings during the trial of fellow sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad in Virginia Beach, Va.
“You can’t wait until after you’re sentenced and see what the consequences of the plea are and then change your plea,” Petrovich said. “It’s going to be a very, very difficult burden to overcome.”
Petrovich said Kohberger would face two significant hurdles even if a judge allowed him to withdraw his plea.
One would be convincing jurors after previously admitting guilt under oath.
Even if a judge allowed Kohberger to withdraw his plea, Petrovich said jurors would almost certainly learn he had already admitted guilt, creating another significant obstacle at trial.

“One thing that’s important is that you still can’t hide from the jury the fact that you said under oath that you’re guilty,” Petrovich said. “Even if you withdraw, then you have to explain that … if you’re going to get anywhere with any kind of jury finding.”
Petrovich also questioned whether Kohberger’s attorneys would have advised him to accept a plea agreement without first reviewing the evidence disclosed during discovery.
He noted that defense attorneys handling capital cases typically spend years reviewing discovery before recommending whether a client should plead guilty.
“The attorneys on the case … were intimately familiar with the evidence and the information that was provided to them by law enforcement and prosecution,” Petrovich said. “I’m sure they knew all about everything. If they encouraged him or if there was a discussion and a plea was decided on, I’m sure it was for good reason.”
Kohberger’s case is not the first involving a notorious killer who later sought to undo a guilty plea.

James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in 1969 to assassinating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to avoid a potential death sentence. Three days after entering his guilty plea, Ray sought to withdraw it, arguing he had been pressured into confessing. He spent the rest of his life trying to undo the plea but died in prison in 1998 without ever receiving the jury trial he sought.
Serial killer Clifton Bloomfield unsuccessfully sought to withdraw guilty pleas after admitting to five murders in New Mexico to avoid capital punishment. Washington serial killer Robert Lee Yates Jr. also challenged his plea agreement after admitting to murdering 13 women, but courts ultimately rejected both efforts.
Kohberger’s plea agreement spared him from facing a capital trial and ended years of pretrial litigation in one of the country’s most closely watched murder prosecutions.
Petrovich said that history, combined with the years of discovery and plea negotiations leading up to Kohberger’s agreement, makes the effort to withdraw it especially difficult.

MEMORISE: Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. – Luke 11:35 (KJV)
READ: 1 Timothy 4:13-16 (KJV)
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 1-3
Open Heaven 3 August 2026 MESSAGE
1 Corinthians 10:12 says that any man who thinks he is standing should take heed, or else he will fall. That tells us that a person can be standing today and fall tomorrow if he or she is not careful. Overconfidence can make someone who has been standing in the Lord for a long time fall. In my 53-year walk with God, I have witnessed many people fall due to overconfidence. They believe that because they have been standing in the Lord for a long time, they are now above certain temptations, and typically, such a mindset would make them careless.
As a Christian, the devil is watching you at all times; if you become careless in any area, he can use that to bring you down. I have heard some men of God boast that they can be in the same room with a naked woman, and nothing will happen. My question is, why is a man of God in a room with a naked woman that isn’t his wife in the first place? If a man of God puts himself in such a position, he is already on the verge of falling. I always tell my children that under no circumstances should a man have a female secretary or personal assistant. This is because the man will spend long hours working with the fellow, possibly into the night at times. If such a man places so much confidence in his ability to resist temptation, it may eventually become his undoing.
Overconfidence has also led many people to ignore the basics of their salvation. For example, some ministers of God believe that some Bible study meetings are now beneath them because of their anointing. Some others believe that they don’t need to listen or take notes when someone they consider to be below them in hierarchy is preaching. Some even hold other meetings during praise and worship sessions. Actions like these show overconfidence and often lead to a fall.
Beloved, never allow yourself to become overconfident in your walk with God. Do not let any exploits that you may have done in the past distract you from following the basics of your salvation. You can never outgrow walking circumspectly, studying the word of God, fasting, and fellowshipping with other believers. No matter your level of growth in the Lord, you can’t outgrow these things. I pray that the Almighty God will keep you standing in Him unto the end of your race here on earth, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 3 August 2026 KEY POINT
No one can ever outgrow the basics of salvation.
Open Heaven 3 August 2026 HYMN 28 – Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
Feed me now and evermore (2ce)
2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer! strong deliverer!
Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce)
3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises! songs of praises!
I will ever give to Thee (2ce)
4 Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love.
Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
Take Thy waiting people home (2ce)

KEY VERSE: Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with diverse diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them – Luke 4:40
TEXT: Luke 4:33-44 (KJV)
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The Greek word for “Lord” translates to Adonai in Hebrew. In modern parlance, it means “supreme Lord”, an incommunicable name of God, and the substitute for Jehovah, a name the Jews would not pronounce. It is in this sense that Christ is ‘the Lord, the Lord of lords, the Lord God’. Lord, in the sense in which God alone can be Lord speaks of His dominion over all things. Christ validates this in Capernaum.
Stepping out of Nazareth with defiance, Christ came into Capernaum with singleness of mind to pursue his tripartite ministry of teaching, healing and preaching. In the synagogue, on the Sabbath day, Christ stood tall as the Conqueror of sin, sickness and Satan; the Controller of demons and fallen angels and of course a compassionate consummate Saviour who speaks peace and hope to humanity.
In His towering yet meek posture, power meets with pity and that resulted in a stream of miracles, which confirmed His divinity. He stood as the Lord over all. The tone of authority and sternness rested fully in Him. He has pity on the convicted who sincerely seeks redemption and with the same breath turns to unclean, defiling spirits with a poignantly severe countenance. Even the acknowledgement of His divinity as “The Holy One of God”, or “Jesus of Nazareth”, or “Christ the Son of God” were not dignified with any form of approval. He will not have His name soiled by such lips.
Significantly, for you as a Christian pilgrim today, Christ’s ministry in Capernaum is a model on which authentic ministries and ministrations must be built. First, since Jesus placed an uncommon emphasis on the preaching of the word, so must you do today and so walk in His steps. It is the word that converts sinners, edifies saints and wings the power that heals, delivers and liberates from satanic yokes. Secondly, since Jesus unswervingly devoted Himself to His mission to preach the Kingdom of God (Luke 4:43,44), so must every Christian who is a beneficiary of the atonement at Calvary. Thirdly, just as Jesus resisted every distraction from His central calling, so must you also remain undistracted by the miracles, signs and wonders of the day. The Great Commission coupled with holiness of life must tower over and above every other concern, legitimate or otherwise. Finally, the agency of miracles then and now remains the same. It is always the spoken word, NOT water, oil, candle or garments, gymnastics or any hocus-pocus. Cling to Christ model and He will be Lord over all in your life, family and ministry.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Jesus Christ is valued above all and He is Lord over all

Rhapsody Of Realities 3 August 2026: Train Yourself In The Word
Rhapsody Of Realities 3 August 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Train Yourself In The Word
TOPIC: Train Yourself In The Word (Rhapsody of Realities 3 August 2026)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth – 2 Timothy 2:15
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
There’s a call for growth in your walk with God, a call to become stronger, more established and unshakable in the Word, and bold in the demonstration of your faith. That growth doesn’t happen by chance; it comes through deliberate training in the Word.
2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” Give yourself to the Word consistently until it shapes your thinking and conditions your responses: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2).
The only material given to us by God to build our lives and renew our minds is the Word of God. The Lord Jesus further illustrated this in Luke 6:47-48: “Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”
When you give yourself to the Word, you live above circumstances. You’re never moved or flustered by challenges. No matter what happens, you don’t respond in fear but with the Word. You speak to the situation and change it. You exercise dominion. This is why you must fill your heart with the Word, for out of that abundance your mouth will speak.
When the Word saturates your spirit, faith becomes your automatic response. It reminds of one of William Branham’s testimonies. A young man’s body, terribly mangled in a devastating accident, was brought to him. Without panic, he gathered the broken body, commanded it to return to normal, and it did. This is the life you’ve been called to live.
Train yourself in the Word, and fear will have no place in you: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Colossians 3:16 declares, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….” With the Word in you, you’ll always act with confidence, dominating circumstances.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that builds me and trains me for a life of dominion. Your Word saturates my spirit, producing faith, boldness and victory always. Your Word is fruitful and effectual in me, prevailing over circumstances as I speak it forth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

MEMORISE: And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. – Luke 6:12 (KJV)
READ: Matthew 26:37-41 (KJV)
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 64-66
Open Heaven 2 August 2026 MESSAGE
This statement, ‘A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian,’ is not a direct quote from the Bible, but I have found it to be very accurate. If you don’t make prayer your lifestyle, you will be too weak to overcome the devil’s temptations when they come. In Matthew 26:41, Jesus told His disciples:
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Some people claim that they want to live above temptations, but they always find themselves failing. If you check carefully, many individuals who face this challenge often have a weak prayer life. Even though they desire to live a holy life, they are too weak to withstand the devil’s temptations because they are not prayerful. For example, Peter failed to pray sufficiently at the Garden of Gethsemane, so it was not surprising that he denied Jesus three times after he had claimed that he was willing to die with Him. If Jesus had not prayed for Peter, the devil would have succeeded in sifting him away (Luke 22:31-32, 39-46).
As a Christian, you must gather strength in the place of prayer to remain standing when temptation arises. Proverbs 24:10 says that if you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. People who sleep when they ought to pray will faint in the day of adversity because they didn’t build strength in the day of peace. Every human being will face a day of adversity. Jesus faced His at Golgotha, but He was well prepared for it. Before His crucifixion, He prayed intensely to the point that His sweat was as great drops of blood (Luke 22:44). Therefore, when Judas betrayed Him, Peter denied Him, and the other disciples deserted Him, He responded with love and kindness. Even when He was crucified, He asked God to forgive those who crucified Him (Luke 22:34). Only someone who has developed spiritual strength and stamina in the days of peace can respond like Jesus did in the day of adversity.
Beloved, do you know why Apostle Paul urged you to pray without ceasing in 1 Thessalonians 5:17? It is because you have a relentless foe, the devil, who will tempt you without ceasing. However, being a prayerful Christian will give you a constant edge over him and ensure that you are not caught unawares in any way. Like the apostles in Acts 6:4, give yourself continually to prayer. May the Almighty God continue to strengthen you, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 2 August 2026 HYMN 22 – Sweet Hour Of Prayer!
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of
prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
