Indian Christians rally for rights
The Christian Community in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh has planned to organize a public rally in protest of the ongoing discrimination against Christians there, reports International Christian Concern.
The Civil Rights Rally is being organized by Rashtriya Christian Morcha, a nation-wide civil rights advocacy group, in association with the Christian community in Kanker. They seek to uphold justice, equality, and the values of the Indian Constitution. No date has been set.
Numerous Hindu villages in the Kanker district previously erected billboards banning the entry of pastors and “converted Christians,” creating fear among members of the Christian minority.
The warnings declared these villages off-limits to Christian missionaries and evangelists, citing provisions of a 1996 law.
In Acts 4:18, Jesus’ disciples faced similar restrictions. “Then [the Sanhedrin] called them in again and commanded [the disciples of Christ] not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.”
Senator Cruz: Democratic victories were “an electoral blowout”
Appearing on Sean Hannity’s Fox TV talk show on Wednesday, the day after the Democrats won the races for governor in Virginia and New Jersey as well as for New York City mayor, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas sounded the alarm.
CRUZ: “Last night was a disaster. It was an electoral blowout. The results in New Jersey were disastrous. The results in Virginia were terrible. The results in in New York: Comrade [Zohran] Mamdani is the face of the Democrat Party.
“We have an actual communist jihadist. And it’s important to note, Mamdani is not a socialist. He is a full-on communist. He is called for seizing the means of production in our economy. He is a Marxist. That is profoundly dangerous.
“And look, I know there’s some Republicans who are saying, ‘Well, gosh, this will be good politically, because they’ll be the face of the Democrat Party.’ I think it’s terrible for America. New York is the largest city in America. It is the financial capital of the world; it’s the media capital of the world. This is a lunatic who wants to abolish the police. This is a jihadist who cheers on the radicals and the terrorists who chant ‘Globalize the Intifada.’”
Senator Cruz explained that the Democrats are fired up and if Republicans don’t wake up, they could lose the Congress in the 2026 mid-term election.
CRUZ: “Last night should be a warning sign. It should be a warning sign to Republicans across this country. The left. They’re energized. They’re angry. Democrats are out raising Republicans right now, 3-1, 4-1.
“I think, on our side, the Republicans, and they’re just people who are common sense in the middle, who I fear are feeling potentially complacent. That is really, really dangerous. The left showed up in big numbers last night, and common sense conservatives did not if that happens a year from now, we face disaster in the midterms.”
Most major US airports are among 40 targeted for shutdown flight cuts
Airports in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are among 40 of the busiest across America where flights will be cut starting Friday due to the government shutdown, reports The Associated Press.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday it would reduce air traffic by 10% across “high-volume” markets to maintain travel safety as air traffic controllers go unpaid and exhibit signs of strain during the shutdown.
The affected airports in more than two dozen states include the busiest ones across the U.S., including Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Orlando, Miami, and San Francisco.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi retires at 85
Nancy Pelosi, the first female speaker of the House and one of the most powerful women in modern American politics, will retire from Congress next year, reports Politico.com.
The San Francisco liberal Democrat, who announced her decision Thursday, had come under increasing pressure to step aside amid her party’s widening generational divide. Now 85, she defied political observers in 2023 when she ran for a 20th congressional term despite Democrats losing the House and her speakership the year before. But next year, she faced a tougher-than-expected group of primary challengers.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America gave Pelosi a grade of “F” on the life issue. Most recently, she opposed protecting babies who are born alive after an attempted abortion and she supported using taxpayer dollars under the Biden-Harris administration to pay for a female soldier to travel to get an abortion.
Pelosi also faced personal struggles in recent years that fueled speculation about her political future. Just before the 2022 midterms, David DePape broke into the Pelosi’s San Francisco mansion and attacked Paul Pelosi, her husband, with a hammer. He was sentenced to life in prison. And last year, she underwent hip replacement surgery after suffering an injury while traveling.
Singer alleges Gold’s Gym terminated membership after complaint about man in women’s locker room
A Los Angeles-based singer is calling for a boycott of Gold’s Gym after claiming her membership was terminated for raising concerns about a man, who was pretending to be a woman, who was allowed in the women’s locker room, reports The Christian Post.
In a video shared on social media on November 2, Tish Hyman, age 42, was seen confronting a man named Grant Freeman, who goes by the name “Alexis,” wearing earrings and a necklace in the women’s locker room of a Gold’s Gym location at Beverly Center.
Hyman said the gym “had me escorted out by officers afterwards. It was EMBARRASSING! I left but not before making sure everyone KNEW that they were allowing MEN in the [women’s] locker room!”
In response to Hyman’s viral videos, women’s advocate and former swimmer Riley Gaines cheered on her protest in a November 3 post. The swimmer wrote, “If we saw boldness like this back in 2020, this insanity would’ve never been allowed to fester like it has. God bless you for speaking the truth loudly.”
Genesis 1:27 says, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them.”
1,200-pound polar bear gleefully eats 1,400-pound giant pumpkin
And finally, it’s not everyday that Henry, the polar bear, sees something that weighs more than he does.
At 1,200-pounds, the polar bear was initially defensive when he saw a giant 1,400-pound pumpkin sitting in his enclosure at The Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat in Ontario, Canada, a sanctuary for polar bears in need of human care, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org.
Henry eventually dug into the sweet, crunchy flesh of the mammoth yellow pumpkin. The photos will steal a chuckle out of anyone.
The polar bear habitat often receive presents for their bears around Polar Bear Awareness Week.
One amusing photo shows Henry, the Polar Bear, in something of a food coma after eating about a third of the pumpkin in one sitting. Sounds like our post-Thanksgiving sprawl on the couch after too much turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
