Nigerian Muslims killed 7 Christians
Last Thursday, Nigerian Fulani Muslim herdsmen and other terrorists killed seven Christians in attacks on two villages in the Plateau State, Nigeria, reports Morning Star News.
In a text message to the paper, Yohanna Markus reported, “Fulani herdsmen, together with a group of bandits, attacked two of our villages, Puka and Dinter, at 1:00 a.m. where they killed seven of our Christian villagers. Aside from those killed, who include five men and a woman, many other Christians were injured and are currently being treated for gunshot wounds and machete cuts.”
Shockingly, 5,014 Nigerian Christians were killed for their faith in 2022, the largest number of martyrs worldwide. It also led the world in the most Christians abducted – a total of 4,726, sexually assaulted or harassed, forcibly married or physically or mentally abused. And it had the most homes and businesses attacked for faith-based reasons.
No wonder International Christian Concern lists Nigeria as the most dangerous country worldwide for Christians in their 2023 Persecutors of the Year report.
Henry Kissinger advocated for global depopulation
As The Worldview reported last Friday, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died recently at the age of 100.
Apart from his public role in U.S. foreign policy, Kissinger was a key leader in the misguided global depopulation agenda, reports LifeSiteNews.com. A 1974 National Security Study memo called “The Kissinger Report,” which was declassified in 1989, advocated for policies to drastically reduce fertility rates globally to combat so-called “overpopulation.” His plan became a reality a year later as President Gerald Ford signed National Security Decision 314.
Furthermore, Kissinger was Klaus Schwab’s mentor and helped him to found the globalist World Economic Forum.
Shortly after the beginning of the COVID crisis in 2020, Kissinger called for a global “post-coronavirus order” and recommended a re-shaping of the global order similar to Klaus Schwab’s plan, which was released later that year in his book COVID-19: The Great Reset.
Psalm 127:3-5a declares, “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!”
Pro-abort Justice Sandra Day O’Connor died
Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, died on Friday in Phoenix, reports CBS News. She was 93 years old. She had withdrawn from public life in 2018 after she was diagnosed with dementia.
Despite having been appointed by then Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1981, she was the deciding vote, and one of three co-authors — in the 1992 decision Planned Parenthood v. Casey which reaffirmed its landmark 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which had legalized abortion
And O’Connor was also in the 5-4 majority in the 2000 case Bush v. Gore which effectively decided the election for George W. Bush.
Congress expelled GOP Rep. George Santos of New York
In an historic Friday vote, the U.S. House of Representatives expelled GOP Rep. George Santos of New York, reports NBC News.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the results.
JOHNSON: “On this vote, the yeas are 311, the nays are 114, with two recorded as present. Two-thirds voting in the affirmative, the resolution is adopted. (gavel sounds) The clerk will notify the governor of the state of New York of the action of the House. Under clause 5d of Rule 20, the chair announces to the House that, in light of the expulsion of the gentleman from New York, Mr. Santos, the whole number of the House is now 434.”
His term in office was marred by revelations that he lied about pretty much everything.
SANTOS: “I’ve seen how socialism destroys people’s lives because my grandparents survived the Holocaust.”
That was not true.
On Fox News, Santos was pressed on his claim that he was Jewish.
SANTOS: “My heritage is Jewish. I’ve always identified as Jewish. I was raised a practicing Catholic. I’ve always joked with friends, and circles in the campaign, I say, ‘Guys, I’m Jew-ish.’”
Exodus 20:16 says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
REPORTER: “Is your plan to fully serve, stay in Congress? To not resign?”
SANTOS: “Like I’ve said before, I’m staying in the office for sure.”
But, after surviving two previous attempts to expel him this year, when a House ethics committee released a scathing 56-page report and a federal indictment charged him with 23 crimes such as wire fraud and money laundering, the writing appeared on the wall.
Among the things he spent campaign funds on were rent, luxury designer goods, personal trips to Las Vegas and the Hamptons, cosmetic treatments, including Botox, and a subscription to pornography.
He is now just the sixth person in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives. Three were ejected for disloyalty after they supported the Confederacy during the Civil War. Two others — Michael Myers, D-Pa., and James Traficant, D-Ohio — were expelled in 1980 and 2002, respectively, after they were convicted of federal crimes.
New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul has 10 days to schedule a special election to fill Santos’ seat.
Ron DeSantis debated Gavin Newsom on Fox News
And finally, last Thursday, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis faced off in Alpharetta, Georgia, on Fox News’ 90-minute “Great Red vs. Blue State Debate,” moderated by Fox News host Sean Hannity, reports The Christian Post.
Listen to DeSantis talk about the so-called freedoms in California.
DeSANTIS: “Gavin Newsom, at one point, tried to say that California was the Freedom State. I just kind of laughed. You’re locking people down and you’re doing all this. And then I thought about it.
“California does have freedoms that other states don’t. You have the freedom to defecate in public in California. You have the freedom to pitch a tent on Sunset Boulevard. You have the freedom to create a homeless encampment under a freeway and even light it on fire. You have the freedom to have an open-air drug market and use drugs. You have the freedom, if you’re an illegal alien, to get all these taxpayer benefits.
“So those are freedoms. They’re not the freedoms our Founding Fathers envision, but they have contributed to the destruction of the quality of life in California. And the results speak for themselves. People are leaving the state because they have failed in addressing the homeless population.”
