Nigerian Fulani Muslims killed 12 Christians
Tragedy struck in Nigeria on Sunday, July 14th as Fulani Muslim terrorists continued their reign of terror in a Christian community in the Benue State, murdering 12 people and wounding another 11, reports TruthNigeria.com.
Andy Itodo, an eyewitness, said, “The terrorists, up to 20 in number, appeared from the forests of Egwuma on motorbikes, wielding automatic rifles, and started shooting indiscriminately. The carnage lasted for over 1 hour and 30 minutes. He added, “The worst part was that we were in our churches when the terrorists attacked us. We were not prepared.”
Gideon Ehoda, another eyewitness, said, “They showed no mercy as they gunned down seven of our youths before they retreated to the bush.”
Mary Otache, a 36-year-old eyewitness, said, “Even as they were shooting into the churches and people were running away, they were chanting Allahu Akbar and speaking in Fulani.”
Augustus Adaji, age 28, said, “When they thought they had gotten the upper hand, we shot at them, and I know that I personally hit two of the terrorists. My colleagues shot many. Initially, they tried to resist us, but they broke up, and some fled on foot, leaving their bikes and guns.”
Please pray that Amos 5:24 would come true in Nigeria. “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”
According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to live for Christians.
Biden withdraws and endorses Kamala Harris
After nearly 31 House Democrats and five Democratic senators publicly called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, he withdrew on Sunday.
In an open letter addressed to “My Fellow Americans,” he wrote, “While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of the party and my country to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
In a subsequent post, President Biden wrote, “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala [Harris] to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
Democrat senator cried over Biden’s withdrawal
Appearing on CBS News, Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware – the co-chair of the Biden for President campaign, cried about Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race.
COONS: “Joe Biden is grounded. He’s grounded in his faith, in his family, and in our state. (Coons gets choked up and pauses) Excuse me. I’m sorry. This was a very difficult decision. And one that I think reflects the very best of who Joe Biden is. Someone who, as you put it Bob, comes home — comes home because it’s where his strength is. His strength is in his family. His strength is in our community. His strength is in his faith.”
Democrat elite pushed Biden out
Appearing with talk show host Charlie Kirk on Sunday, “Just The News“ founder John Solomon took issue with how the Democrat elite powerbrokers ran roughshod over the 14.5 million Democrat primary voters who selected Joe Biden to be the party’s presidential nominee.
SOLOMON: “We’re back to the days of Tammany Hall. The Democrats no longer regard the 14.5 million people that voted for Joe Biden — the power brokers, the Barack Obamas and the Nancy Pelosis and Chuck Schumers. They’ve decided who’s going to be their nominee by forcing Joe Biden out. That is not going to play well in a party that often claims that ‘democracy’ is being ruined. Well, they may have just contributed to that.”
Kamala Harris funded bail for BLM rioters, a failure as Border Czar
Solomon responded to the coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the replacement presidential nominee, saying she is further left politically than Biden.
SOLOMON: “As for Kamala Harris, if she is the ‘Anointed One,’ because it saves them $200 million in the bank that they don’t have to fundraise, there is a lot of research that the American people need to become familiar with, with Kamala Harris.
“What she did in California, the fact that her [Political Action Committee] bailed out [Black Lives Matter] rioters from prison in jail, the fact that she had only one job in the Biden administration to secure the border, and she failed miserably at that. It’s going to be very easy to link Kamala Harris to all of the deaths, all of the mayhem, all of the frustration that Americans have with the border because that was her one job that Joe Biden gave her.
“And Biden endorsed her today quickly, because he knew that there is not unanimity in the party for her being the nominee. So, he tried to force that unanimity with his endorsement.”
Trump campaign released anti-Kamala Harris ad
The Trump campaign released this anti-Kamala Harris ad.
NARRATOR: “Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline.”
HARRIS: “Our president is in good shape, in good health, tireless, vibrant, and I have no doubt about the strength. of the work that we have done.”
NARRATOR: “But Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job. So, she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead. They created this mess. They know Kamala owns this failed record.”
Trump: “How did somebody get on that roof?”
In their first joint interview, Donald Trump and his VP pick, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, talked to FOX News host Jesse Watters about the security breach that led to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
WATERS: “They were monitoring this guy for an hour beforehand.”
TRUMP: “Yeah.”
WATTERS: “No one told you not to take the stage?”
TRUMP: “No, nobody mentioned it. Nobody said there was a problem. I would have waited for 15 [minutes]. They could have said, ‘Let’s wait for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 5 minutes, something. I think that was a mistake.
“How did somebody get on that roof? And why wasn’t he reported? Because people saw that he was on the roof. I mean you had Trumpers screaming, the woman in the red shirt, she was screaming, ‘There’s a man on the roof!’ And then other people, ‘There’s is a man on the roof who’s got a gun!’ And that was quite a bit before I walked onto the stage. So, you would have thought somebody would have done something about it.”
Pro-abort Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee died
Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, has died at the age of 74 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, reports NBC News.
Born in Queens, New York, she first won election to Congress from Houston, Texas in 1995. She was known for her rabid support of abortion. Most recently, Congresswoman Lee:
- opposed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act to protect babies who are born alive after a botched abortion.
- opposed Rep. Chip Roy’s amendment that prohibited Department of Defense funding for soldiers to travel to get an abortion.
- and opposed a resolution that condemned the violent attacks on pro-life groups.
The life of the late Congresswoman Lee embodied Isaiah 59:7. It says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.”
Global computer systems outage caused chaos here in America
And finally, services from airlines to healthcare, shipping and finance were coming back online on Friday after a mistake in a security software update sparked hours-long global computer systems outages, reports Reuters.
The incident highlighted the vulnerability of the world’s interconnected technologies. More than 2,200 flights were canceled across the U.S., with nearly 7,000 delayed, as of 1:23 pm ET on Friday, according to data tracker FlightAware.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 377 points, the S&P 500 lost 39 points, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 144 points.
George Kurtz, the founder and CEO of the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, explained on NBC’s “Today Show“ how their company took down millions of computers –including air travel, banks, and more — around the world with a single faulty software update.
KURTZ: “The system was sent an update. That update had a software bug in it and caused an issue with the Microsoft operating system.”
Businesses face questions about how to avoid future blackouts triggered by technology meant to safeguard their systems.
