Nigerian Governor denies Christian genocide
Just days after Nigerian Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule publicly denied the existence of religious persecution or Christian genocide in Nigeria, about 50 Fulani Muslim gunmen launched a deadly midnight assault on a Christian community in the state.
Three individuals were murdered and others were critically wounded in the massacre.
In protest, hundreds of youths from the community displayed the dead bodies of the victims and blocked traffic until the military showed up to disperse them. They were protesting the persistent invasions and kidnappings, in hopes of some government intervention.
According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians.
Sudanese civil war claims 70,000 civilian lives
The ongoing civil war in Sudan, Africa is bringing untold losses to human life.
Approximately, 70,000 civilians were killed in the last year, and the same number the year before.
A paramilitary group, known as the “Rapid Support Forces,” is killing civilians with darker skin in the ethnic purge — and then burying the bodies in mass graves, reports Al Jazeera.
America invested twice as much in Africa as China did
The BBC reports that the U.S. has overtaken China as Africa’s biggest investor for the first time since 2012.
America invested $7.8 billion in 2023, compared to China’s $4 billion.
America absent from U.N. Climate Change Conference
The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference kicked off yesterday in Belém, Brazil.
Notably, the U.S. federal delegation is absent, reports The Hill.com.
7 Democrats, 1 Independent join GOP to end gov’t shutdown
The U.S. Democrat Party has experienced a seismic split.
In an historic development on the national scene, seven Democrat senators and one Independent senator agreed to a compromise with the Republicans in the U.S. Senate to bring the government shutdown to an end, report The Epoch Times.
The defectors were Dick Durbin (D-IL), Catherine Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), John Fetterman (D-PA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Angus King (I-ME).
The big bone of contention among the Democrats in the shutdown concerned there hope of extending the Obamacare funding of individual and family health insurance.
Health insurers are corrupt and contribute heavily to Democrats
Breitbart and American Resolve estimate that health insurers are taking in $1 trillion per year in federal subsidies, thanks to Obamacare. Plus, their stocks are up 1,000% since 2009.
These companies contributed five times more funds to the Kamala Harris presidential campaign than they contributed to Donald Trump’s campaign.
And “Blue Shield of California donated $500,000 and UnitedHealth donated $75,000 to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s ballot measure effort, Prop. 50” which could give Democrat and insurance companies five additional seats in Congress.
Even more egregious, federal auditors estimate that Medicare Advantage will overbill medical services somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 trillion this decade.
Isaiah 1:23 warns of princes who “are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come before them.”
Tucker Carlson in hot water for Nick Fuentes interview
But then, the “conservative right” has their own dumpster fire going after Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes. (It was a 2-hour-long interview).
Ben Shapiro, the conservative founder of The Daily Wire, referred to Carlson as the “most virulent super-spreader of vile ideas in America.” Mark Levin layered on another epithet for Carlson, calling the conservative talk show host a “Nazi promoter. ” And Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas called the Fuentes interview “cowardly and complicit.”
Supremes unlikely to affirm Trump’s tariffs
According to the SCOTUS BLOG, the U.S. Supreme Court appears doubtful as to the constitutionality of the Trump tariffs.
Both Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch appeared skeptical in the oral arguments which took place last Wednesday.
Supreme Court will not reverse homosexual marriage
The U.S. Supreme Court will not reverse Obergefell.
The high court issued their decision Monday to let the 2015 decision stand — codifying the legitimization of faux marriage for those living in unnatural relations, men with men, and women with women — here in the United States.
The justices rejected an appeal from former Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis — who had refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples — on the basis of her religious beliefs.
A few weeks ago, Justice Amy Barrett admitted her reluctance to oppose the homosexual campaign for same-sex faux marriage because of what she called “very concrete reliance interests,” reports the New York Times. These apparently did not include God’s interests.
In a speech Justice Samuel Alito gave a few months ago, he called the Obergefell decision a “precedent of the court that is entitled to the respect afforded by the doctrine of stare decisis.” That’s a legal term meaning the policy of following principles laid down in previous judicial decisions.
Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel was quite disappointed.
He said, “The majority of Supreme Court Justices know Obergefell is wrong, and this case should have been granted review and reversed that unconstitutional opinion. We are committed to overturning Obergefell. Like the abortion issue in Roe v. Wade, the Obergefell opinion has no basis in the U.S. Constitution.”
The Prophet Micah issued this lament in Chapter 7:2-4. “The faithful man has perished from the Earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; The best of them is like a brier; The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge; The day of your watchman and your punishment comes; Now shall be their perplexity.”
Household debt shot up by 30%
Total U.S. household debt has registered a 30% increase since 2020 — now at $18.5 trillion.
And, the U.S. dollar has weakened against major currencies this year by about 10%. That’s the worst performance since the Nixon presidency.
Meanwhile, gold has increased about 60% in value this year to date.
Average American wedding costs $33,000
And finally, in other economic news, The Knot reveals that the average wedding now costs $33,000. And couples who invite over 140 guests will need to pay $40,000.
The price tag is location dependent. New York weddings run $48,000 while Wyoming weddings average $17,000.
To compare, the cost of the average starter home in America this year, by RedFin’s metric, is $260,000 with a down payment of $16,900.
