Indiana Republican lawmakers have been invited to the White House for a meeting on August 26, 2025. The invitation, extended by the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, includes all 110 Republican members of the Indiana General Assembly, with more than four dozen, including House Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, confirming attendance. At least two have declined, though their identities are not specified. While redistricting is not officially listed as a topic, it is expected to be discussed given recent pressure from the Trump administration and Vice President JD Vance’s prior meetings with Indiana leaders, including Governor Mike Braun, on the subject. Specific names beyond Huston and Bray are not detailed in available information, but State Rep. Craig Haggard is among at least 20 House Republicans planning to attend.[](https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/15/indiana-gop-lawmakers-invited-to-white-house-for-redistricting-talks-trump-vance-braun-beckwith/85672549007/)[](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/15/white-house-officials-turn-up-the-heat-on-indiana-redistricting-00512106)[](https://fox59.com/news/politics/white-house-invites-indiana-gop-state-lawmakers-for-policy-talks/)

THE PROPHECY IS UNFOLDING: Revelation 13 & The XRP Ledger

2,000 years ago, the Book of Revelation warned of a system where “no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark.”
Today, that prophecy isn’t allegory… it’s becoming financial architecture.
The rails are blockchain. The weapon is identity. The battlefield is the XRPL.

Revelation 13:16–17 described a universal identification-for-commerce system: rich or poor, slave or free, no escape.
Fast forward → Digital ID, CBDCs, and biometric tracking. The prophecy has evolved into tech: fingerprints, retinal scans… and now, genomics.

Why the XRP Ledger?
Because it’s the only blockchain with the institutional-grade speed, scalability, and neutrality to host such a global system. Ripple built corridors worldwide while the rest of crypto was distracted with memecoins.

DNA Protocol is onboarding medical labs, encoding genomic identity onto XRPL, and issuing $XDNA that link your biological source code to the ledger. The prophecy said “forehead and hand.” Today it’s your DNA.

Look deeper: BlackRock’s ETF ticker XDNA was no accident.
The elites are marking their blueprint. A corporate ETF in TradFi, mirrored by a genomic-anchoring protocol on XRPL. “The mark” is not a stamp… it’s your biological identity anchored to the rails they control.

The prophecy warns: “No one can buy or sell.”
Translate: Without genomic-linked ID, you’ll be excluded from the tokenized financial system. Imagine being unable to transact because your DNA profile isn’t anchored on-chain. The rails are XRP. The passport is XDNA.

But here’s the duality:
What looks like enslavement can also be liberation.
XRP Ledger is neutral. If controlled by elites, it’s the mark. If reclaimed by the people, it’s the sword that cuts the beast’s grip… turning surveillance into transparency and accountability.

The Book of Revelation wasn’t a warning of inevitability. It was intel from the future.
We are watching prophecy, finance, and genomics merge. The “mark” is being coded right now.
Question is: will you be enslaved by it, or will you front-run it?

Sunday, May 26 was a pretty special day for Indiana Gov. Mike Braun. The state’s top executive spent his time at “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” punctuated by an appearance on Fox and Friends to recap his first legislative session as governor.
But rather than returning to the Governor’s Residence in Indianapolis, just a 20-minute drive from the track, Braun apparently drove to his Jasper family home two-and-a-half hours away.
And the next day, he took a helicopter ride to get back to the state capital.
The trip was one of 11 flights between March 13 and August 1 chronicled in response to a public records request submitted by the Indiana Capital Chronicle, totaling $23,880. The state said that it would have “incurred” those costs whether or not Braun had used the Indiana State Police helicopter, because those flight hours were necessary “to satisfy (the Federal Aviation Administration’s) mandated hours requirements.”

Though the FAA has established standards for pilots to maintain their licenses, the Indiana State Police has its own requirements for pilots to regularly travel on top of that.
“The Indiana State Police expects 1-3 hours of flight time per week per helicopter pilot,” said Griffin Reid, a spokesperson for Braun’s office. “Transportation decisions are made based on a number of factors.”
Eight of those trips ended at Braun’s southern Indiana home in Jasper, where the state paid $1,745.55 to install a 20-foot-by-20-foot gravel pad earlier this year. The remaining three flights transported the governor from Jasper to Indianapolis.
A member of his security detail accompanied him on every trip while his wife, Maureen, joined on only one trip.
Though Braun never flew on Sundays, he used the transit option at least once on every other day of the week. Each flight hour cost approximately $1,200.  A helicopter flight between Jasper and Indianapolis takes roughly 45 minutes, according to the office.
Braun is the first governor to reside outside of central Indiana as governor in recent history. Former Govs. Eric Holcomb and Mike Pence made the governor’s residence in Indianapolis their primary home — with Pence selling his Columbus home after becoming governor — while former Gov. Mitch Daniels split his time between that building and his home in Carmel.
But where did he go?
Braun first flew from Indianapolis to Jasper on March 13, one day before the Indiana Capital Chronicle publicized the taxpayer-funded helipad at his Jasper home. Two weeks later, also on a Thursday, he again used a helicopter to get from Indianapolis to Jasper.

His April 16 flight to Jasper was preceded by several public appearances the day before, including a press event with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., signing the state’s effort to reform property taxes into law and the Perry Township Lincoln Day Dinner.
But neither his public releases nor his social media indicates his plans for April 16, the day he flew. The next day, a Thursday, he met with the Borden High School girls’ basketball team, the 2025 state champions, and attended another Lincoln Day Dinner in New Albany.
He flew two more times in April, starting both trips in Jasper and ending in Indianapolis. The first was Monday, April 21 — the day after Easter — while the next, on Tuesday, April 29, occurred one day before he celebrated 100 days in office.
None of Braun’s social media accounts indicated why he went to Angola in northern Indiana on Saturday, May 3. However, Trine University reports that Braun delivered the keynote address during commencement that day at 10 a.m. He opted to fly back to Jasper, bypassing the four-plus hour drive.
Two weeks later, Braun attended the Brickyard Breakfast in Indianapolis with the First Lady before flying back to Jasper on May 17. His next trip, on Monday, May 26, came one day after the Indianapolis 500.

Braun only flew once each of the following three months: Thursday, June 26; Friday, July 11; and Friday, Aug. 1.

The state body that oversees police certification is now considering whether Dubois County Sheriff Tom Kleinheltershould be stripped of his law enforcement credentials.
The Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board’s decertification subcommittee was asked last week to review the case, following a request from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and its executive director, Tim Horty. 
The request follows a monthslong Indiana State Police investigation into allegations of misconduct by Kleinhelter. Although a special prosecutor ultimately decided not to charge Kleinhelter, the training board voted Aug. 18 to move forward with charges of fraud, perjury, false informing and criminal misconduct.

Andretti's New $200 Million Headquarters Will Be State Subsidized
The project could receive up to $19 million in conditional tax credits from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

While Andretti Autosport is most well-known for its exploits in the NTT IndyCar Series, the organization has a competitive presence in various racing series from the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to the Repco Supercars Championship in Australia. Andretti Global, the parent company of Andretti Autosport, has announced today the intention to build a new 575,000-square-foot facility to serve as the organization's global headquarters. Almost a tenth of the headquarters' construction costs could be recouped in tax credits.

Andretti Global selected a 90-acre site in Fishers, Indiana for the location of its future $200 million headquarters. Fishers is located roughly 19 miles northeast of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The facilities' cost will likely be partly subsidized by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). Andretti Autosport could receive up to $19 million in conditional tax credits pending the approval of the IEDC board of directors. The project will break ground later this year and is expected to be operational by 2025.

Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb said in a statement:

"Indiana has long been the racing capital of the world, and Andretti Autosport's commitment to growth here will only further cement our state's leadership position in Motorsports and STEM related pursuits. This new campus will not only bring new, exciting employment opportunities and serve as an asset for one of our fastest growing communities but will also show just how much this living legacy, one of the most globally iconic brands known, continues to invest in the future of our great state."

Indiana Governor Mike Braun voted Democrat until 2012


The former Indiana Senator billed himself in television ads as a conservative Republican voted for more than a decade as a Democrat in the state's primary elections, according to public documents obtained by the Associated Press.

Records from the Dubois County Clerk's office, where candidate Mike Braun is registered to vote, show the Governor consistently cast Democratic ballots until 2012.

"Mike Braun is a lifelong Republican and this is just another tired attack from the political class," said spokesman Josh Kelley, who added that Braun voted in Democratic primaries in an attempt to impact the outcomes of those races.

Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita, have long been involved in Republican Party politics, with each taking public office in the early 2000s. Braun, on the other hand, is listed as a "Hard Democrat" in a voter database maintained by the Republican National Committee, according to records obtained by the AP.

He began voting as a Democrat in at least 1996, according to county records that date back only 25 years. That continued through the 2008 primary, where Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Barack Obama following a heated campaign.

Braun, who owns a national auto parts distribution business, drew heat over a 10-cent-per-gallon fuel tax increase, which occurred before he stepped down from the Legislature to focus on his Federal Senate campaign. That vote, combined with the revelation that he regularly voted as a Democrat, could open him up to charges of being a "RINO," a derisive acronym for "Republican In Name Only" often used by conservative activists.

Mike Braun raises taxes like a Democrat so it's not a surprise he votes for Democrats, too," said former Rokita spokesman Tim Edson.

Is it now resonating that Braun’s “Property Tax Reform” was a political ruse? Or appointing Katie Jenner, a Democrat, to the Secretary of Education m?

In Indiana, voters are not required to register with one particular party. Rather, their selection of a Republican or Democratic primary ballot becomes their de facto party affiliation.

Braun's 2012 switch to the GOP significant in light of his election to the Indiana House of Representatives in 2014 as a Republican.

Under Indiana law, partisan candidates are required to have cast a ballot in their party's previous primary, unless receive written special permission from their local county chairman. This a technique widely used in the iIndiana GOP.

Braun, who served nearly three years in the Legislature, qualified for the ballot as a Republican in 2014 because he pulled his first recorded GOP ballot in 2012.

Still, his campaign denies he was ever a Democrat. They insist he always voted Republican in general elections, though that's hard to prove because general election ballots are kept secret.
Braun's hometown of Jasper, a southern Indiana town about 50 miles north of the Ohio River, used to elect conservative Democrats. The area now trends Republican amid a decade of shifting party demographics and a major redrawing of congressional and Statehouse districts led by Republicans who control the Legislature.

His campaign insists, however, that Braun was trying to forward Republican interests by voting for Democrats.

"As is often the case in solidly blue counties, like Dubois was at the time, Mike cast his vote in competitive local primaries where it would have the greatest impact, while voting solidly Republican in general elections,".
