Indian pastor beaten unconscious
A group of Christians in India were physically assaulted by members of Hindutva organizations which champion nationalist Hindu philosophy, reports The Christian Post.
On January 21st, Pastor Mahesh Mahananda claimed that he and the group of Christians were ambushed by people brandishing sticks at approximately 5:30 p.m. while they were returning from a lunch gathering in the Chhattisgarh state. The perpetrators were the same people who had been participating in Rama temple rallies regularly.
Sadly, Pastor Mahananda was rendered unconscious by the attack leading to his hospitalization.
In Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, “You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
China looking to cyber attack U.S. civilian infrastructure imminently
Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress that the Chinese government is planning cyber attacks on America’s civilian infrastructure in the near future, that would cripple the U.S. society, reports RealClearPolitics.com.
Listen.
WRAY: “There has been far too little public focus on the fact that [People’s Republic of China] hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure, our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems, and the risk that poses to every American requires our attention now.
“China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real world harm to American citizens and communities. If and when China decides the time has come to strike.”
Talk show host Steve Malzberg asked Gordon Chang, a Chinese expert who lives in New Jersey and the author of The Great U.S.–China Tech War, what he thought.
MALZBERG: “On a scale from 1 to 10, how serious a threat is it for what he’s describing to actually happen?”
CHANG: “Oh, about a 20 maybe. This is something which is not a theoretical threat because on November 25, Iranian hackers took control of part of a water system in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, which is close to Pittsburgh. The workers were able, through manual means, to get back control of their water. But that showed you what can happen.
“Right after that, other utilities, about four others, were hit by hackers. We know that last year there were Chinese hacks on oil pipelines in the U.S. Hospitals, in November in the United States, were hit in Texas, Mexico, Oklahoma, and my state of New Jersey. We also can’t forget May 2021 when Russian ransomware attackers took down the Colonial Pipeline, disrupting airline services and U.S. car traffic on the East Coast.”
Special Counsel calls Biden “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,’ brings no charges
Special Counsel Robert Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, described President Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur said he would not bring criminal charges against Biden after a months-long investigation into his improper retention of classified documents related to national security, reports Fox News.
Hur’s report was made public Thursday afternoon.
Even liberal CNN reporter Min Jung Lee asked President Biden tough questions about his mental competence.
LEE: “Mr. President for months when you were asked about your age, you would respond with the words, ‘Watch me!’”
BIDEN: “Watch me.”
LEE: “Many of the American people have been watching and they have expressed concerns about your age.”
BIDEN: “Your judgment. That is your judgment public. That is not the judgments of the press.”
LEE: “They expressed concerns about your mental acuity. They say that you are too old. Mr. President, in December you told me that you believe there are many other Democrats who could defeat Donald Trump. So, why does it have to be you now? What is your answer to that question?”
BIDEN: “Because I’m the most qualified person in this country to be president of the United States and finish the job I started.”
Professor: Special prosecutor saying Biden unfit to be president
Appearing on The Angle with Laura Ingraham, Victor Davis Hanson, Professor Emeritus from California State University, said most journalists will now acknowledge Biden’s mental incompetence which most Americans have known for some time.
HANSON: “Right now, there is a lot of journalists who are saying, ‘I want to get out of dodge. I want to go on record that I’ve always said he had mental problems.’
“I think they are going to try to be the first to say, ‘I have integrity. I was unempirical. I’m disinterested.’ Because it’s going to get worse and worse and they don’t want to be the last person on the ‘Biden is competent’ train. I think they want to get off.
“Because I think we are reaching a point where I don’t see how he is going to be tenable when a federal special prosecutor, appointed by his own attorney general, says that he is essentially unfit to be president of the United States.”
Brave sister rescues brother from Walmart kidnapping
And finally, a brave sister stepped in and saved her 4-year-old younger brother from becoming a possible kidnapping victim, reports KDIA.
A YouTube clip shows a man in a Lehigh Acres, Florida Walmart approaching the four-year-old boy on December 29th, grabbing his wrist, and forcing him to go in his direction. He then attempts to leave the area quickly with the child.
Thankfully, the man’s sinister attempt was prevented. The child’s older sister witnessed the man’s devious actions, reached out to the 4-year-old, grabbed her brother’s arm, and pulled him back to safety, sheltering him behind a nearby shopping cart.
When their mother called Walmart security, they scanned video footage which led them to discover his license number. Within an hour of the incident, deputies identified the perpetrator as 64-year-old Pablo Pintueles Hernandez and arrested him at his home. He has been charged with false imprisonment of a child. Hernandez has since been released on a $100,000 bond.
Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.”
Praise God that the alert older sister bravely rescued him from harm.
