Ugandan Christian siblings abducted, sold to Muslim witchdoctor
Sulaiman Pulisi, a former Muslim Imam in eastern Uganda, Africa, became a Christian in 2017 and led his two young children to Christ. In July 2018, Pulisi’s son, Abdulmajidu, then age 11, and daughter, then age 13, disappeared from their home, reports Morning Star News.
On September 16, police rescued Pulisi’s daughter from a well-known Muslim witchdoctor named Isifu Abdullah, known for human sacrifices. Abdullah reportedly took the 13-year-old daughter as his wife. His son, Abdulmajidu, was not found by police and it is feared that he may have been killed in a ritual sacrifice. According to the twisted belief of witchdoctors, child sacrifice brings good fortune.
Mr. Pulisi said, “We are mourning for our son who is alleged to have been sacrificed. We are mourning with my daughter, who has been used as a sex object by the Muslim shaman.”
A local radical Muslim woman, who opposed Pulisi’s conversion to Christianity, was allegedly behind the abduction of Pulisi’s children.
No doubt Proverbs 21:15 is a comfort in terms of the accountability of the evil witchdoctor. “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.”
Sparks flew in first presidential debate
In the first presidential debate last night in Cleveland, Ohio, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace asked whether Vice President Biden would favor packing the Supreme Court, or adding additional justices to mitigate the conservative majority if Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed.
WALLACE: “Mr. Vice President, if Senate Republicans go ahead and confirm Justice Barrett, there has been talk about ending the filibuster or even packing the court, adding to the nine justices there. You call this a distraction by the President, but, in fact, it wasn’t brought up by the President. It was brought up by some of your Democratic colleagues in the Congress.”
BIDEN: “I’m saying.”
WALLACE: “So, my question to you is you have refused in the past to talk about it. Are you willing to tell the American people tonight whether or not you will support either ending the filibuster or packing the court?”
BIDEN: “Whatever position I take on that, that’ll become the issue. The issue is the American people should speak. You should go out and vote. You’re in voting now. Vote and let your senators know how strongly you feel.”
TRUMP: “Are you going to pack the court?”
BIDEN: “Vote now.”
TRUMP: “Are you going to pack the court?”
BIDEN: “Make sure you, in fact, let people know, your senators.”
TRUMP: “He doesn’t want to answer the question.”
BIDEN: “I’m not gonna answer the question.”
TRUMP: “Why won’t you answer that question?”
BIDEN: “Because the question is, the question is…”
TRUMP: “You’re going to put a lot of new Supreme Court justices, the Radical Left.”
BIDEN: “Will you shut up man?”
TRUMP: “Listen, who is on your list Joe? Who is on your list?”
BIDEN: “This is so unpresidential.”
TRUMP: “He’s going to pack the court, but he’s not gonna give a list.”
WALLACE: “Gentlemen, I think we have, we have ended this segment. We’re gonna move onto the second segment.”
BIDEN: “That was really a productive segment, wasn’t it? Keep yappin’ man!”
TRUMP: “The people understand Joe.”
BBIDEN: “They sure do.”
TRUMP: “For 47 years, you’ve done nothing. They understand.”
WALLACE: “Alright.”
Later, Wallace had difficulty keeping President Trump and former Vice President Biden on track as both candidates interrupted one another.
TRUMP: “Can I be honest? It’s a very important thing question…”
BIDEN: “Try to be honest!”
WALLACE: “No, the answer to the question is no.”
TRUMP: “He stood up, he stood up and …”
WALLACE: “The answer to the question is no.”
TRUMP: “he threatened Ukraine with a billion dollars if you don’t get rid of the prosecutor.”
BIDEN: “That is absolutely not true.”
TRUMP: “You were taped doing it. You were on tape.”
BIDEN: “That is not true.”
TRUMP: “He’s on tape.”
WALLACE: “Gentleman, I hate to raise my voice. Why should I be different than the two of you?”
BIDEN: “That’s a good point.”
WALLACE: “Here’s the deal. We have six segments. We have ended that segment. We’re going to go to the next segment. In that segment, you each are going to have two uninterrupted moments. In those two uninterrupted minutes, Mr. President, you can say anything you want. I’m going to ask a question about race, but if you want to answer about something else, go ahead. But I think that the country would be better served if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions. I’m appealing to you sir to do that.”
TRUMP: “Well, and him too.”
WALLACE: “Well, frankly, you’ve been doing more interrupting.”
TRUMP: “Well, that’s alright, but he does plenty.”
WALLACE: “Well, less than …”
TRUMP: “He does plenty.”
WALLACE: “Well, less than you have. Let’s please continue on.”
New York Times falsely claimed Trump paid virtually no taxes
The New York Times never lets the facts get in the way of a good story – it just buries them so far down no one will see.
That was the case Sunday when the most biased “news” organization in the country published its latest in-kind donation to the Democratic Party in the form of a nearly 10,000-word account of President Donald Trump’s income tax history, deliberately written to cast Trump as a villain to hard-working, taxpaying Americans, reports the Western Journal.
Under the ominous headline “Long-Concealed Records Show Trump’s Chronic Losses and Years of Tax Avoidance,” it claimed that a billionaire who became president of the United States had “paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.”
Actually, truth be told, Trump paid millions in taxes those years: $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017.
The rest of the article amounts to a propaganda gift to the presidential campaign of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, typical of The Times anti-Trump machine.
It’s paragraph after biased paragraph, stuffed with dollar signs and financial details that make it appear there are all kinds of sordid maneuverings going on, but probably describes the kind of totally legal tax minimization strategies employed by the wealthiest Americans regardless of party.
Biological high school girl will be allowed into boys’ locker room
And finally, a school district in Minnesota must allow trans-identified students to use bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite gender consistent with their so-called “gender identity,” a Minnesota appeals court ruled Monday, reports the Christian Post.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the parents of a biological female high school student who identifies as a boy. The family sued the Anoka-Hennepin School District in 2019 and alleged that the student was required to use a separate locker room when she participated on the boys’ swim team.
The court ruled that locker room segregation based on sex is a violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, which bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, among other identifiers, including race and religion. Thus, the female student will be allowed to enter the boys’ locker rooms and showers.
Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.”
