Senator Paul We cant save Ukraine by dooming US economy

In a Senate floor speech on Thursday Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky explained why he is opposed to sending an additional 40 billion to Ukraine reports RealClearPoliticscom

PAUL We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy In March inflation hit a 40-year high Gasoline alone is up 48 and energy prices are up 32 of the last year food prices have increased by nearly 9 and used vehicle prices are up 35 Inflation doesnt just come out of nowhere It comes from deficit spending The United States spent nearly 5 trillion on COVID-19 bailouts leading to one of the highest and most sustained levels of inflation in US history

If this bill passes the US will have authorized roughly 60 billion in total spending for Ukraine If this gift to Ukraine passes our total aid to Ukraine will almost equal the entire military budget of Russia And its not as if we have that money lying around We will have to borrow that money from China to send it to Ukraine

Senator Paul issued this warning

PAUL Unless we put an end to the fiscal insanity a day of reckoning awaits us The biggest threat to the United States today is debt and inflation and the destruction of the dollar We cannot save Ukraine by killing our economic strength

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Sen Rand Paul is the only one thing holding us back from passing 40 billion in aid for Ukraine

Barnette a Black GOP candidate conceived in rape surges in PA

Former President Donald Trump might have endorsed TVs Dr Oz in the Pennsylvania GOP primary race for Senator

But the conservative Christian base of the Republican Party is supporting Kathy Barnette a black Christian woman who has spoken openly about having been conceived in rape reports Axioscom

BARNETTE My mother was raped at 11 years old my father being 21

Barnette knew that God had a plan for her life

BARNETTE It definitely made me become very adamant about the sanctity of life of life of all life regardless of their conception regardless of how they arrived I am valuable Im worthy and my life has purpose

Before the foundation of the world God saw me and He decided that I would be and He said in His word that not only did I see you but I called you I predestined you And so as a Christian I believe in the value of life When I was in my mothers womb He was knitting me together

Psalm 13913 says For You created my inmost being You knit me together in my mothers womb

Barnette is especially horrified that some so-called Christian pro-lifers believe that its acceptable to target babies conceived in rape with abortion

BARNETTE Even among Christians even among staunch conservatives an exception to the rule of being prolife for many is in the case of rape

And yet my life has value From me has come two very beautiful and charming and smart kids Married to a wonderful husband Weve made a life for ourselves And none of this would have happened if the exception to the rule had applied Im eternally grateful that they chose to allow me to be born

Kathy Barnette released a 4-minute video entitled It wasnt a choice It was a life which has animated a surge of support from Republican voters especially in light of the leaked draft Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v Wade

Shessurged in the pollsfrom mid-single digits as recently as April to around 20 now

Multipleattendeesof a Trump-Oz rally last weekend said theyre backing Barnette

Californias infanticide bill closer to becoming law

On April 19th California took another step toward decriminalizing infanticide up until 28 days after birth

In an appalling 11-3 vote Californias Assembly Bill 2223passedin the Assembly Health Committee reported California Family Council

Authored by Democrat Speaker Pro Tempore Kevin Mullin and introduced by Democrat Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks the bill passed despite nearly 2000 people traveling to Sacramento to try and persuade legislatorsface-to-faceto vote no

Two key pro-lifers also spoke in person before the Assembly Health Committee

Dr Vansen Wong a pro-life OBGYN who has practiced medicine for 30 years said this

WONG The moral acceptance of killing babies is gaining popularity promoted most recently by Professor Peter Singer at Princeton University He stated Of course infanticide needs to be strictly legally controlled and rare but it should not be ruled out any more than abortion

A close inspection of this bill does allow for the legalization of the killing of innocent newborn children up to the age of 28 days A yes vote is an unequivocal and complete approval of a legalized killing of a newborn baby And with all of my heart I oppose AB 2223 and urge you to vote no

And Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills an abortion survivor himself spoke out against AB 2223

HIBBS My name is Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and thankfully represented about 3000 people this morning that were out on the Capitol steps My passion is more one of experience Im a survivor of an abortion on December 24 1957 Im very glad to be here

Those that are supporting this bill Theyre supporting a bill that legalizes the termination of a born child a child that is now beyond the age of debate Is it life Or is it a blob Or is it whatever This is a living breathing child

The Bible says in Proverbs 318 Defend those who have no voice and those who are destined to be crushed Thats a 3000-year-old proverb that sounds like it was written yesterday I would ask you to consider that I urge you please on behalf of the citizens of California to oppose AB 2223 Thank you

Despite the overwhelming opposition with hundreds of people lining up in the hallways to voice their opposition in the hearing the bill passed with all the Democrats voting yes and the Republicans voting no

Biden took Nigeria off State Dept list of egregious countries

On April 25th the US Commission on International Religious Freedom recommended that the US Department of State designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern

And with good reason Between 2015 and 2020 12600 Nigerian Christians have been killed It has rightly been called a Christian genocide

This designation is required for countries that engage in or tolerate systematic ongoing and egregious violations of religious freedom

In the 14 years that the US Religious Freedom Commission has recommended Nigeria be designated as a bad actor the Department of State has only accepted its recommendation a single time in 2020

Tragically under President Joe Bidens inept leadership Nigeria was subsequently taken off the Country of Particular Concern list in 2021 This was an unprecedented move that drew widespread criticism from human rights groups

In a strongly worded press release on November 17 2021 the US Religious Freedom Commission called the State Departments 2021 delisting unexplainable saying it was appalled and displeased with the removal of Nigeria from States CPC designation
