Two Armenian Christian men beheaded by Muslims
Two elderly Armenian Christian men who were tragically beheaded by Azerbaijani’s Muslim armed forces have been identified, reports International Christian Concern.
The first victim was 69-year-old Genadi Petrosyan who escaped Azerbaijan in the late 1980s. The second victim was 82-year-old Yuri Asryan. Both men were civilians.
Hundreds of videos have emerged of violent war crimes committed by the Azerbaijani armed forces against the Armenian community.
These crimes bear a striking resemblance to tactics used during the 1915 genocide against Armenian Christians. Indeed, Turkey – which supports Azerbaijan in this conflict and which was the main instigator of the 1915 genocide — has made it clear through its rhetoric that this conflict is driven by a desire for Turkish-Islamic expansionism.
Revelation 6:9 records what happens when Jesus will open the fifth seal. “I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.”
Mike Pompeo: Trump refused to bend a knee to Communist China
Appearing on NewsMax TV, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said President Donald Trump was the first president not to bow a knee to Communist China.
POMPEO: “Both political parties looked away, bent the knee to the Chinese Communist Party. President Trump said, ‘Enough!’ And we’ve begun to turn the corner and build out a coalition all around the world of democracies and free market economies to push back against this threat.”
McConnell: “I want to congratulate President-Elect Joe Biden”
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took to the Senate floor on Tuesday and congratulated Joe Biden on winning the presidential election.
McCONNELL: “The Electoral College has spoken. So today, I want to congratulate President-Elect Joe Biden.
“I also want to congratulate the Vice President-elect, our colleague from California, Senator [Kamala] Harris. Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female Vice President-elect for the very first time.”
Talk host Charlie Kirk: McConnell wrong to congratulate Biden
Conservative talk show host Charlie Kirk was upset with Senator McConnell for making that move in light of the voting irregularities and fraud.
KIRK: “The term ‘congratulations’ inherently means that you are applauding and recognizing an achievement of success. When do you use congratulations in your life? When people attain athletic accomplishments. When people get married, get engaged. You typically don’t use the term ‘congratulations’ when someone just stole money from a bank.”
Trump can still be declared presidential victor
Appearing on Fox & Friends on Monday, Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Stephen Miller said that the election fraud resulted in the race being stolen from President Trump could still be remedied before January 20th.
MILLER: “The only date in the Constitution is January 20. So, we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election.
“As we speak today, an ultimate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote. And we’re going to send those results up to Congress. This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct that the ultimate state of electors be certified. The state legislatures in Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania can do the same. And likewise, Congress has that opportunity, as well, to do the right thing.”
Miller gave three examples of how the presidential election was stolen from President Trump.
MILLER: “If you just cured three simple constitutional defects, Donald Trump is the winner of this election. Whether it’s the signature matching in Georgia that was illegally changed as a result of the consent decree without the legislature’s approval. Or whether it’s the hundreds of 1,000s of improperly cast ballots in Wisconsin, absentee voters, who never actually submitted the request for an absentee ballot. Or whether you’re talking in Pennsylvania, the clear equal protection violation when Democrat ballots were “cured” – [meaning the ability to correct errors in the ballot to make sure they counted] in advance of Election Day, and Republican ballots weren’t.
“These are just three of hundreds of violations that we’ve documented. And those three violations alone make Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 election.”
Ugandan doctor set to build maternity ward
And finally, Dr. Priscilla Busingye, a Ugandan African nun, recently received a $500,000 medical mission prize from African Mission Healthcare in order to build a new medical facility for under-served pregnant women, according to Christianity Today.
For nearly two decades, Dr. Busingye has served in rural parts of Uganda, delivering dignified healthcare for women as the Health Center’s only OBGYN. The country consistently ranks in the bottom 30 countries for maternal and newborn deaths. Estimates show that 1 out of every 49 women in Uganda will die from childbirth complications.
The funds will allow affordable maternity care to the rural poor who would otherwise not seek it because of overwhelming expenses. C-sections for some cost a year’s worth of income and most women do not give birth in a hospital.
Citing Matthew 25:40, Dr. Busingye is motivated to see the face of Christ behind every woman she meets. Jesus said, “Whatever you do for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.”
