Chinese Communists order Christian media to publish propaganda
China’s only legal church, the Communist Party-controlled Three Self Patriotic Movement, has been ordered to publish more communist propaganda including President Xi Jinping’s thoughts and teachings in its so-called “Christian” media, reports Bitter Winter.
But Exodus 20:16 warns, “You shall not bear false witness.”
Biden denied cognitive decline, claimed voters are sexist for electing Trump
Last Thursday, former President Joe Biden, and former First Lady Jill Biden, appeared on ABC’s “The View.”
Whoopi Goldberg asked about the now famous debate debacle.
GOLDBERG: “You know, what freaked everybody out? was that debate.
BIDEN: “Yep.”
GOLDBERG: “It wasn't a great night. It was a bad night.”
BIDEN: “Terrible night.”
GOLDBERG: “and everybody lost their mind.”
BIDEN: “Yep.”
GOLDBERG: “This is what started …
BIDEN: “Yep.”
GOLDBERG: “… both sides with this, ‘Oh, he can't do this. This needs to stop.’ Why do you think that caught fire? Why do you think people bought into it, especially the Democrats?”
JOE BIDEN: “The Democratic Party at large didn't buy into it, but the Democratic leadership and some of the very significant contributors did. I'm going to say something outrageous. I've not lost many debates in my life. I've been pretty good at doing that. I was sick. No excuse. I had a bad, bad night.”
Alyssa Griffin asked about his mental competence.
GRIFFIN: “Mr. President, since you left office, there have been a number of books that have come out, deeply sourced from Democratic sources, that claim in your final year there was a dramatic decline in your cognitive abilities. What is your response to these allegations? Or are these sources wrong?”
JOE BIDEN: “There are wrong. There's nothing to sustain that.”
Jill Biden weighed in as well.
JILL BIDEN: “The people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us, and they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean he'd get up, he'd put in a full day, and then at night, I'd be in bed reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings, working with staff. I mean, it was nonstop. Joe worked really hard. I think he was a great president. If you look at things today, give me Joe Biden any time.”
GRIFFIN: “Mr. President, just to follow up on this, some of the reporting is that people like your former president, you served under Barack Obama, George Clooney, a long-time supporter of yours -- a major Democratic donor, Chuck Schumer, your dear friend Nancy Pelosi, also had expressed concerns about your ability to do the job for four more years. Can I ask what your relationship is with President Obama and how you address those concerns that they raised?”
JOE BIDEN: “The only reason I got out of the race was because I didn't want to have a divided Democratic Party. It's a simple proposition. So that's why I got out of the race. I thought it was better to put the country ahead of my interest, my personal interest.”
Sara Haines asked about Kamala’s election loss.
HAINES: “Why do you think the Vice President lost? And were you surprised?”
And Alyssa Griffin asked about Trump’s landslide election to a second term.
GRIFFIN: “Well, Mr. President, you had previously said that you thought that you would have won. Since then, Donald Trump won all the battleground states and made inroads with almost every major demographic, from working class voters to Hispanic men to black men. Knowing what you know now, do you think you would have beat him?”
JOE BIDEN: “Yeah, he still got 7 million fewer votes. A lot of people didn't show up, number one, Number two: They're very close in those, those toss up states. It wasn't a slam dunk.”
Charlotte viewer objects to Biden’s Preserve-My-Legacy Tour
Jack Acuff of Charlotte, North Carolina, sounded off in a fascinating Facebook video post.
ACUFF: “Somebody tell me: 'Why Jill Biden keeps dragging Joe out for these TV appearances and making a bad situation worse?'
“Did you see him on ‘The View’ this week? It was sad. It's the Preserve-My-Legacy Tour and the ‘Stick-it-to-Obama-and-George-Clooney-and-Nancy-Pelosi Tour, where he repeats again that he could have won, that Americans only chose not to vote for her because she's a minority and a woman, and we're racist and misogynist, and that he is ready to go at any minute.”
Trump fully defunds pro-abortion UN Population Fund
The Trump administration has fully implemented the defunding of the United Nations Population Fund, an agency which promotes abortions worldwide, reports LifeNews.com.
Specifically, Trump pulled $335 million in taxpayer funds from the pro-abortion United Nations agency.
It’s the result of the pro-life executive order Trump signed in January that prohibits American tax dollars from going to groups that promote or provide coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.
Connecticut calls for tough new laws on homeschooling
And finally, the state of Connecticut is getting tough with homeschoolers, reports WFSB.
Using a couple of cases of egregious child abuse, the Connecticut Office of Child Advocate commissioned a report which advocates new legislation. It’s entitled “A Review of Children Withdrawn from School for Equivalent Instruction Elsewhere.”
They write, “Currently, parents who wish to withdraw their children from school need do nothing more than assert that they are homeschooling or sending their children to private school. Once a parent does that, there is no further interaction with the public school system required. There is no verification of enrollment in private schools. There is no verification that a child is, in fact, being homeschooled.”
The Connecticut Office of Child Advocate says every other New England state requires some form of annual evaluation or assessment.
The report says, “Homeschooling, when done properly, can be a positive experience for children and families. … Nothing in this report is a general criticism of homeschooling nor a suggestion that children should not be homeschooled. Nonetheless, not every parent who withdraws their child for the stated purpose of homeschooling is, in fact, providing their children with an education. Worse, some take advantage of Connecticut’s complete lack of oversight to isolate children and abuse them.”
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.”
