Ugandan Muslim husband sets Christian wife on fire
A 32-year-old mother of three children in the town of Budaka, Uganda, named Hajara Namwase, accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior on May 3rd, while her Muslim husband was away on business in South Sudan.
When Hajara returned home from her Christian small group meeting on October 17th, she found her husband looking through some of her belongings. She said, “I got scared upon seeing him, because he had some Gospel tracts and a small New Testament Bible which I could not hide.”
Upon seeing the Bible and other Christian literature, her 42-year-old husband, Musa Kalele, became furious, left the room, and returned with a container of gas. She said, “He took some bedsheets, covered them around my body and then removed me out of the house. He forced me to lie down. He took the petrol, then poured it on me and thereafter took a matchbox, lit it, and the fire began burning me up.”
Her daughter alerted neighbors who rescued her and took her to the Mbale Regional Hospital. Hajara has had specialized treatment for the third-degree burns over much of her body, reports Morning Star News.
Proverbs 29:22 says, “A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.”
For the moment, her hate-filled husband has fled to South Sudan. In the meantime, Hajara is worried about where she will live after her release from the hospital since all her relatives are Muslims. Plus, she fears what will become of her children, ages 4, 6 and 9, who have come under the care of their paternal grandmother.
Please pray for Hajara’s healing, for the repentance and salvation of her Muslim husband, Musa, and for the safety of her three children.
NBC’s Lester Holt asked identical question of DeSantis as Brent Bozel
Ahead of the Wednesday night GOP Presidential debate in Miami, the Media Research Center published a video on Monday of Brent Bozell’s exclusive interview with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
BOZELL: “If [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu picked up the phone and called you, as soon as we’re done here, and said, ‘Governor DeSantis, what should I do?’ What would you tell him?”
DESANTIS: “I would tell him, ‘You have to finally end Hamas once and for all. And that means taking out all their terrorist infrastructure, eradicating the group from existence. Because all that will happen if you just do some glancing blows, they will regroup, they will do the same attacks again, and we’re going to have another cycle of this. So, now is the time to cut out the cancer and get the job done.”
Interestingly, just two days later, NBC’s Lester Holt asked DeSantis the identical question on Wednesday night before a national audience.
HOLT: “As President of the United States, what would you be urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do at this moment, Governor DeSantis?”
Vivek Ramaswamy asked GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel to resign
Vivek Ramaswamy, the multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur and first-time candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, demanded that Ronna McDaniel, the GOP chairwoman, resign during Wednesday night’s debate, reports Fox News.
He was especially frustrated by the election losses just the night before, on November 7th, when Republicans in Virginia lost the House, the Republican candidate for Kentucky governor lost, and Issue 1 in Ohio enshrined abortion into the Buckeye state’s constitution.
RAMASWAMY: “I am upset about what happened last night. We’ve become a party of losers, at the end of the day. There’s a cancer in the Republican establishment. Let’s speak the truth. I mean, since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022. No red wave that never came. We got trounced last night in 2023.
“And I think that we have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will yield my time to you.”
Ramaswamy also had some choice words for the liberal moderators of the third Republican presidential debate.
RAMASWAMY: “Think about who’s moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk. We’d have 10 times the viewership, asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about, and bring in more people into our party. (applause) Do you think Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn’t do it.
“Kristen [Welker], I’m gonna use this time because it’s actually about you in the media and the corrupt media establishment. Ask you about the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years. Was that real? Or was that Hillary Clinton made-up disinformation? Answer the question. Go!”
KRISTEN WELKER: “Mr. Ramaswamy,” (applause and cheers)
RAMASWAMY: “This is how we get our country back. We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with the Hunter Biden laptop story.”
LESTER HOLT: ““Mr. Ramaswamy, your time is up.”
RAMASWAMY: “They’re going to rig this election unless there is accountability.”
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, wrote: “When an NFL team keeps losing games, the coach gets fired. So why does the RNC keep going to war led by the same losers who failed last time?”
Cop saves trucker from burning truck
And finally, the Salisbury, North Carolina Police Department just honored one of their own who said he was willing to die in a truck fire in order to save an unconscious driver, reports Good News Network.
Back on August 8th, Lieutenant Corey Brooks saw a tractor-trailer hit the guardrails along Interstate 85 and catch fire. A former truck driver himself, Brooks saw the flames from beneath the truck following the fuel line. He knew he only had seconds to get the driver out.
BROOKS: “I was thinking ‘I am either going to die here with him or I am going to get him out of here.’”
Brooks screamed at the driver, Michael Williams, to get out, but he was unconscious. The cop quickly realized he must remove the driver himself, unlatching the seatbelt. He could feel the heat of the flames and he could smell burning rubber. At any point, the truck could have exploded. The body cam footage of the rescue is nothing short of something from a Die Hard film.
Providentially, Williams made a full recovery and thanked the North Carolina cop for saving his life.
BROOKS: “He says now I get to see my kids again. We’re going to be connected forever.”
John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Or, in this case, an absolute stranger!
