Christian family in India severely beaten by Hindu extremists
A family in India has decided to leave their ancestral home rather than renounce Christ after police allowed a mob of more than 150 Hindu extremists, intent on killing them, to severely beat them, reports Morning Star News.
The injuries that Vikas Salam and three others received in Chhattisgarh State’s Kanker District on September 21 required hospital treatment, as the assailants beat women, children and the elderly while police shockingly ignored their pleas for help.
The mob attacked and beat three Christian families with sticks, vandalized their homes and threatened to expel them from the village because they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. Local officials also later pressured the families to recant their faith.
Salam, age 24, said, “We have been following Jesus for the last 10 years. The villagers told us to either return to the Hindu fold or leave the village.” Here at The Worldview we celebrate their bold faith.
In Romans 8:38-39, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Join me and send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Indian Ambassador to America, Vinay Kwatra, urging him to speak up for the right of Christians to practice their faith without being harassed and beaten. Send it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008.
Halloween horror at U.S. stock market
The entire U.S. stock market looked like a house of Halloween horrors on October 30th, driven by rapidly sinking tech stocks tied to the swelling Artificial Intelligence bubble, reports Futurism.com.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 — home of major AI stocks like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft Corp, and Amazon — was down 2.6 percent, well on track for a $1 trillion drop, as NBC News observed.
Losses were pushed by Amazon, which shed about two percent when trading opened Friday morning. In particular, Amazon’s capital expenditures for 2026 ballooned to $220 billion, much of which is tied to Artificial Intelligence.
Friday’s bloodbath comes after shares for Google’s parent company Alphabet — a major bellwether for the Artificial Intelligence trade — plummeted by over 12.6 percent on Thursday. It was the company’s worst single trading day ever, and the second-largest single day wipe out of any company’s stock in history, obliterating over $500 billion worth of market value.
The motion is all stoking fears of a bursting AI bubble, as trillions of dollars remain tied up in just a few top AI companies.
Pollster discussed Michigan and Texas Senate races
Matt Towery, a former Republican Georgia State Rep, founded InsiderAdvantage polling firm. In late 2014, he encouraged Donald Trump to run for the U.S. presidency, suggesting he would be a serious contender. His polls were among the few to call the 2016 presidential race for Trump over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Appearing on The Joe Pags Show, heard on 180 stations, he explained that the Democrat candidates do not have as much of a lead as the legacy media has been claiming.
He referenced the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Mike Rogers and his leftist Muslim Democratic challenger, Abdul El-Sayed.
TOWERY: “What they’re doing in Michigan is they’re assuming that all Democrats are voting Democrat. And we’re not seeing that. We’re seeing a certain percentage split off. African-Americans, by the way, you got two groups of African-Americans up there. You’ve got very devout Christian African-Americans who I don’t think are voting for El Sayed. You also have a Black Muslim population who is voting for El-Sayed. Also, there are different Arab groups in Michigan. There are some that don’t like the Muslim Brotherhood at all.”
Towery also touched on the U.S. Senate race in Texas between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico.
TOWERY: “The race in Texas is extremely close. If Republicans turn out in presidential year numbers on Election Day, it’s not insurmountable. But none of these races are four and five and seven points. Talarico is not leading by something like that. Ken Paxton has had to fight his way back up. Republicans need to close ranks like the Democrats do. Then you’ll see a Democratic defeat, and you’ll see a Republican senator from Texas.”
Unemployment lowest since 1960s & Trump’s inflation rate half of Biden’s
Matt Towery, who has written a newly released book entitled The Honoring of Ignorance: The 7 Mirages Destroying America, expressed his frustration with Republicans who wait too late to get their message out.
TOWERY: “The one thing the Republicans don’t do is they don’t advertise in May and June and tell people the good news. For example, that unemployment’s the lowest it’s been since the 1960s, that people have more disposable income, that inflation is half of what it was under Joe Biden under his midterm. If we had run those ads and also an ad explaining why Iran was necessary, I don’t think we’d be even looking at close races right now.
“These consultants who run these campaigns want to stack all of their ads at the end when they get lowest unit rate. They don’t want to spend the money in May and June to get their candidates’ records out. I mean, we should be running ads every week, updating people with the news that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNow would not let the public see. If we could do that, we wouldn’t have the president’s approval rating where it is, and we wouldn’t be having to fight at the last minute. These Republicans would be blowing the doors off of these candidates because they’re terrible candidates.”
He urged people with traditional values to cast their vote on Election Day tomorrow.
TOWERY: “What we have to have are those people in the middle who care about their children and their grandchildren to go out and vote in a big way. Because if they don’t, these races, which are close, are going to go to the Democrats.”
3 Biblical principles to guide your vote
And finally, as we look toward Election Day tomorrow, if you have not yet voted, here are three Biblical principles that should guide your choices.
- Christians are called to stand for righteousness and biblical values.
Proverbs 14:34 says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
God cares about the moral direction of a nation. Christians should support leaders and policies that promote righteousness, justice, honesty, and the protection of human dignity. We should not remain silent when we have an opportunity to stand for what is right with our vote, even when the culture stands for something different.
- Christians are called to be responsible citizens and influence our nation.
Matthew 5:13-14 says, “You are the salt of the Earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.”
Jesus calls believers to be salt and light in this world. We should not withdraw from society, but positively influence it. Voting gives Christians an opportunity to participate in decisions that affect families and communities.
- Christians are called to protect future generations and advocate for others.
Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.”
Christians should care about the vulnerable, the babies in the womb, the children, families, the poor, and those who are oppressed. Voting is one way to use our voice to advocate for those who need protection and justice.
Proverbs 29:2 says it best: “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
Vote for the righteous. And vote against the wicked.
