U.S. Embassy in Tanzania warns of imminent terrorist attack
On January 25th, the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania issued a security alert to all Westerners and the general public, following intelligence of a possible terrorist attack, reports International Christian Concern.
The Embassy, based in Dar Es Salaam on the coast of the Indian Ocean, said, “Terrorist groups could attack with little or no warning, targeting hotels, embassies, restaurants, malls and markets, police stations, places of worship, and other places frequented by Westerners.”
Russia upset with American tank promises for Ukraine
Russia said on Thursday it saw the promised delivery of dozens of Western battle tanks to Ukraine as evidence of direct and growing U.S. and European involvement in the conflict, reports Reuters.
Ukraine has been seeking hundreds of modern tanks to form what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a “fist of freedom” that could give its troops the firepower to break Russian defensive lines and reclaim occupied territory in the south and east.
Christian principal gets apology for being taken for mental evaluation
In a widely viewed Facebook live video, Colony High School Principal Mary Fulp, a Christian, was taken on January 18th by Alaskan state troopers for a psychological evaluation against her will, reports AlaskaWatchman.com.
Fulp, who was recently named the 2022 Alaska Principal of the Year, has also authored two Christian devotionals entitled Jesus Heals and Lifted.
The troopers arrived shortly after Fulp posted a four-hour video in which she enthusiastically claimed to have received the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the ability to speak in tongues – a belief held by millions of Christians worldwide. Her family members were worried about her mental health.
Listen to the initial portion of her 20-minute Facebook live video which captured her conversation with the two state troopers who arrived at her doorstep.
FULP: “So, I’m going to spend the night at the hospital?”
ALASKAN TROOPER: “You’re going to go to the hospital and you’re going to see a doctor.”
FULP: “Okay.”
ALASKAN TROOPER: “The doctor is going to determine what happens from there.”
FULP: “Without any input from me, I have to go with you to go to the doctor.”
ALASKAN TROOPER: “All I know is that that court order says we have to take you there.”
According to Alaska Statue, any adult can petition a judge to order a mandatory psychological evaluation of someone alleged to be mentally ill and a grave threat to themselves or others. This order can be done ex parte, which means without the person’s participation.
Additionally, a judge can direct that an officer take the person into custody and deliver them to the nearest “appropriate facility for emergency examination or treatment.”
However, in Fulp’s case, there was never a lawful order from a judge to detain her.
Here is another critical portion of Fulp’s January 18th audio as she is being taken to the police car against her will.
FULP: “I’m actually being taken away because I love Jesus and I’ve claimed Jesus’ mighty name. So, two troopers showed up because I claimed the love of Jesus. That’s how dangerous that is. The enemy does not like me claiming His mighty name. My goodness. And they patted me down, checked to see if I have weapons. I’ve never been in the back of a cop car.”
Fulp prayed a quick prayer.
FULP: “In Jesus’ name. I just give this all to you because I know it’s part of Your plan to magnify Your name throughout the nation.”
At the hospital, they did an EKG, a CT scan, drew blood, and monitored her by camera for three days. Plus, they also gave her anti-psychotic drugs against her will.
In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.”
Then, on January 24th, the Alaska Department of Public Safety released a lengthy press release, accompanied by an apology from Commissioner James Cockrell, for actions taken by the Alaska State Troopers in wrongfully detaining and transporting her.
Cockrell said, “Based on the limited information we have been able to learn about this incident from the Alaska Court System, it appears that we made a mistake by transporting the adult female for an evaluation. Our staff should have taken additional steps to verify the information presented by the complainant and the validity of the court order.”
He added: “We take full responsibility for this and want to assure the public that we are taking necessary steps to ensure that incidents like this never happen again. This type of situation is unacceptable, and you have my commitment that we will do better.”
Vice President Harris omits “life” from Declaration of Independence
And finally, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks on January 22 bemoaning the overturn of Roe v. Wade on the ruling’s 50th anniversary, during which she quoted the Declaration of Independence with a glaring omission, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Listen.
HARRIS: “We collectively believe and know America is a promise. It is a promise of freedom and liberty, not for some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights were not bestowed upon us. They belong to us as Americans.” (cheers)
To her shame, Vice President Harris, who vowed on January 2nd to kill more babies by abortion, left out the critical value of life. Plus, she contradicted herself, initially claiming that we were “endowed with” or given certain rights. But then, she says these rights were not “bestowed” upon us. In fact, Almighty God Himself, not our government, is the one who endowed us with and bestowed upon us these inalienable rights.
Just ask the Founding Fathers.
Genesis 2:7 says, “Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
