Canadian Parliament passes anti-Bible bill
Sadly, Canada’s Parliament passed the anti-Bible bill.
LifeSiteNews.com reports that a final attempt to stop Bill C-9 was defeated. The bill, which threatens to criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, including on homosexuality, will soon become law.
On Wednesday, June 17, a majority of Members of Parliament voted down an attempt by conservative Andrew Lawton to stop Bill C-9 “once and for all.”
In an X post, he wrote, that the liberals “voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”
Another conservative Member of Parliament, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom.
The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year. Specifically, Bill C-9 would remove Section 319(3)(b) of Canada’s Criminal Code. That’s the section which protects the good-faith expression of a person’s religious views based on religious texts such as the Holy Bible.
Galatians 6:7 declares, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.”
Proof that Fauci funded lab research that sparked COVID
A trove of communications and documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that Dr. Anthony Fauci “provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research” on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that Fauci “lied to Congress,” reports LifeSiteNews.com.
In a viral overnight social media video on June 19th already seen by millions, Gabbard made this announcement.
GABBARD: “Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.
“Now, in support of President Trump’s maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’s lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives.
“Now, these documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating [Intelligence Community] assessments on COVID 19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when, under oath, he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.”
Dr. Fauci’s close Intelligence Community relationships enabled him to “assume three key roles during the pandemic that shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence.”
First, Fauci funded risky coronavirus research linked to Big Pharma and the pursuit of “universal vaccines” worth trillions of dollars.
Second, Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, with his hand-picked experts, pushed the Intelligence Community to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous research.
And third, Fauci became the nation’s pandemic “pundit” and publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship.
GOP Senator: Trump’s peace deal with Iran seemed elusive
Appearing on Fox News Channel on June 17th, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, expressed his approval of the deal that President Donald Trump negotiated with Iran, reports RealClearPolitics.com.
SCHMITT: “The president of the United States, President Trump, was very clear from the get-go what the mission here was, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that. And they’re signing on the dotted line now, Sean, for the first time, that they’re not going to do that.
“And we don’t need to trust them. We just need to verify that. Effectively, the president knocked out their military capability. Their Navy is at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Their nuclear program is in shambles. It’s nowhere near ever being started up again. And we can always go back and mow the lawn, if necessary, because we’ve got eyes on it.
“The president has provided now, through all of that action, space for diplomacy. That has always been his North Star. There’s always more things to do. We need to make sure, obviously, we’re verifying all of this. But the president has pulled off something here that most experts, six months ago, wouldn’t have thought was possible. And I think it’s good for the American people.”
FBI foiled terrorist plot against UFC 250 event at White House
A terror plot targeting the Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House on June 14th reportedly involved those who were ready to deploy snipers and drones armed with explosives to carry out a mass casualty attack against U.S. government officials.
In a June 16th statement, FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency and its law enforcement partners became aware of the potential threat on June 10. He confirmed that authorities stopped the alleged plot before it began.
Patel said, “Thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.
“We are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens — particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight” which drew 85,000 people to the Ellipse.
James Talarico: God is non-binary; Jesus does not call us to worship Him
And finally, James Talarico, the Texas Democrat candidate in the U.S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton, has made some bizarre claims about God and Jesus.
Listen.
TALARICO: “God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is non-binary.”
And here’s what Talarico said about Jesus.
TALARICO: “Not once in the entire Bible does Jesus ask us to worship Him. All He asks is that we follow Him.”
Pastor Josh Howerton, Senior Pastor of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas, called James Talarico a heretic.
HOWERTON: “The whole last book of the Bible is the Lamb is seated on the throne with more people than anybody can count bowing down and worshiping Him, throwing crowns before Him. And then anybody who won’t do that, He’s throwing them into the lake of fire.
“This is not me being mean or exaggerating: he’s an actual heretic, like a biblically-defined false teacher and heretic.
“Politicians, since the beginning of time, have been twisting Scripture, using Scripture to try to convince people to do what they want. This is the first guy I’ve ever seen whose whole platform is using the Bible to convince Christians to support godless things.”
Revelation 5:13 says, “Then I heard every creature in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
