India falsely charges Christian groups with embezzlement
After the Hindu nationalist BJP Party came to power in India at the national level in 2014, many large Christian organizations that had been receiving funds from abroad came under government scrutiny and were falsely charged with embezzlement and other invented corrupt financial practices, reports International Christian Concern.
Recently, the government stated that many of these organizations were involved in alleged illegal religious conversion activities, too. For the first time, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs has listed illegal religious conversion activities as a reason for blocking foreign funding of certain non-governmental organizations working in India.
According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian.
Proverbs 17:23 says, “Corrupt judges accept secret bribes, and then justice is not done.”
Charles Barkley: Democrats lost because “y’all stupid”
After Donald Trump’s landslide victory, former National Basketball Association star Charles Barkley had a word for the Democrats on the Steam Room podcast.
BARKLEY: “And I just want to say this to the Democrats, I’m an independent who voted Democratic. Do me this favor. When you win, you get to say what you want to. When you lose, you need to shup up.
“Oh, President Biden. They didn’t get him out the race soon enough. Kamala didn’t do this. We lost because we had no game plan. We still haven’t solved the immigration problem. Have no viable answers. Never addressed inflation.
“Bringing all these stupid stars out to rally to vote. What was that? Hey, I love Beyonce. What’s bringing her out? That ain’t gonna make me vote a certain way. Cardi B. I like Cardi B. That ain’t gonna make me vote a certain type of way. You guys lost because y’all stupid.”
Senator Ted Cruz objects to Democrats who want to censor conservatives
And on Senator Ted Cruz’s podcast entitled “Verdict,” the Texas statesman said Democrats are not interested in doing much introspection about their massive loss on Election Day.
CRUZ: “The Democrats, they’re not actually looking introspectively and saying, ‘Gosh, maybe we were wrong on the issues. Maybe the fact that over 70% of Americans thought we were on the wrong track. Maybe that’s a problem. Maybe we shouldn’t have had an open border and let this country be invaded. Maybe we shouldn’t have spent money like drunken sailors and caused inflation that hurt working families across this country.
“‘Maybe we shouldn’t have waged a war on energy that hurt everyone who’s struggling to make ends meet. Maybe we shouldn’t have undermined our friends and allies, and we shouldn’t have appeased our enemies. Maybe we shouldn’t have given $100 billion to Iran that funds terrorists and Hamas and Hezbollah and causes a war. Maybe our policies are wrong.’
“That would be a rational and sensible thing for Democrats to do. So, they’re not doing that.”
Senator Cruz cited exhibit A of MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki who doubled down on censoring people like podcaster Joe Rogan who has challenged Democrats and dared to interview Trump for three unfiltered hours which enabled listeners to cast an informed vote.
CRUZ: “Instead, they’re saying, ‘Hmm, maybe if people just didn’t know what we were doing. Maybe if they couldn’t say what we were doing. Maybe if they couldn’t criticize what we’re doing. Yeah, that’s how we’d win.’
“So, Jen Psaki, Joe Biden’s former press secretary, went on a podcast and she said this, ‘One of the things that’s changed ever since I got involved in politics is just the rise of the percentage of people who get their information off of platforms that have no fact-checking mechanism and no accountability for having disinformation spread. Laws have to change.’
“She’s not saying, ‘We, the Democrats, need to communicate better.’ She’s not saying, ‘We the Democrats need to change our policy.’ She’s saying, ‘We need to change the laws to make it illegal for that Joe Rogan to say things we don’t like. We need to change the laws to make it illegal for anyone to post on X what the actual facts are of what we, the Democrats, are doing. If we can silence everyone, then we stay in power forever.’”
Late-term abortions in Oregon more than doubled in 2023
Oregon Health Authority’s finalized 2023 abortion records show dramatically increased abortion rates in numerous categories, including a sharp rise in the number of late-term abortions compared to the prior year, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
According to the Oregon Health Authority’s Center for Health Statistics data, abortion mills in Oregon performed a total of 10,075 abortions last year compared to 8,672 in 2022, a 16% increase.
Among the 10,075 abortions, 225 of them were performed at or after 23 weeks gestation (roughly the age of “viability”), more than two and a half times the 85 late-term abortions performed in 2022.
At 23 weeks gestation and later, the unborn baby can feel pain, and many can survive outside the womb if born prematurely.
Elon Musk praises families on X
Elon Musk is continuing to spread the word about the importance of families.
On X this week, Musk sounded the alarm in response to a post that claimed birth rates in Sweden and Britain are now at their lowest levels since 1749 and 1938, respectively.
Musk said, “Instead of teaching fear of pregnancy, we should teach fear of childlessness.”
Psalm 127:3-5 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.”
AI model detects cancerous brain tumors missed during surgery
And finally, researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence-powered model that can determine in 10 seconds during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains, reports Good News Network.
According to the research team led by the universities of Michigan and California, the technology, called FastGlioma, outperformed conventional methods for identifying what remains of a tumor by a wide margin.
When a neurosurgeon removes a life-threatening tumor from a patient’s brain, they are rarely able to remove the entire mass. What remains is known as a residual tumor.
By contrast, FastGlioma detected and calculated how much of the brain tumor remained with an average accuracy of approximately 92%.
