23 million Afghans are starving

Last year the United Nations estimated that 23 million Afghans -- almost 55 of the population -- were facing extreme levels of hunger

That number likely increased during the winter months as the callous Taliban regime remains unwilling or unable to provide for the citizens of Afghanistan reports International Christian Concern

Before the takeover the nation relied heavily on foreign aid from the west Now the United States has sanctioned Taliban leaders and the international community remains wary of the extremist group So the humanitarian aid has ceased

In addition to the threat of starvation the 10000 Christians living in Afghanistan are actively hunted tortured and killed by the Muslim extremists

In addition to praying if you would like to help feed Afghans visit a special link in our transcript today at wwwTheWorldviewcom

In Matthew 2535amp40 Jesus said For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink Truly I tell you whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine you did for Me

Is retaliatory nuclear strike from Putin against US possible

On Wednesday Fox News host Tucker Carlson hammered Republican Rep Maria Salazar of Florida on the possibility of a nuclear retaliatory strike against the US from Russian President Vladimir Putin following her push to have the United States arm the Ukrainians reports RealClearPoliticscom

CARLSON But my question is If we are providing weapons to one side in a war I think its fair to ask maybe the other side would say thats an act of war against us And if that happens then what next And to not think about that seems negligent But since youre on the foreign affairs committee I know that you have thought it through So tell me your views on what would happen next

SALAZAR Tucker we have been providing Javelins Close Combat Missile Systems and Stingers missiles and ammunition We are providing a lot of military armament So what is the difference between that and the MiGs aircraft and the S-300s anti-aircraft missile systems

Frustrated that Congresswoman Salazar did not answer his question Carlson asked again about the chance of nuclear war between Russia and America if we provide Ukraine with military support

CARLSON So Im asking you what do you think the chances are -- and Im sure youve gamed this out as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee -- that Putin uses nuclear weapons against the United States in response to this

SALAZAR Sure that we are taking that into consideration

CARLSON Our viewers are Im sure supporting you I think most conservatives are on your side But I just think they should know what the informed view of the likelihood of a retaliatory nuclear strike from Vladimir Putin is What would you assess it as being

SALAZAR Thats a hypothetical question and

CARLSON Its hardly hypothetical

SALAZAR I believe that Putin will not take that step if starting today the Biden administration will send the message that we are in charge that NATO is ready to confront him and so are we

Dr Dobson Thank Gov DeSantis for protecting parental rights

After Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Protect Parental Rights Bill Dr James Dobson host of Family Talk wrote There has never been a more critical time for parents to be involved in their childs education and the leadership of Florida is making that possible for parents in their state

It is without question that public schools are contributing to the dramatic rise in children identifying as transgender Extreme left-wing groups have used books likeI am JazzandJacobs New Dressto teach students as young as kindergarteners that their biological sex is actually fluid This isnt compassion it is child abuse

Dr Dobson continued When children genuinely experience gender dysphoria or simply fall victim to the social contagion of transgenderism schools have conspired to keep parents in the dark about what is happening in the lives of their kids Freemont High School in California is doing just that They have created transition closets encouraging children to change clothes upon arrival at school without their parents knowledge This is outrageous

Children do not belong to any government entity by Gods design children belong to their parents and they have the right to know what is being taught in the schools

What Americas provision of fighter jets to Poland means

On CBS Sunday Morning Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new policy toward Russia Listen as the CBS host asks him a question about our engagement overseas

CBS HOST If for instance the Polish government a NATO member wants to send fighter jets does that get a green light from the US Or are you afraid that that will escalate tension

BLINKEN No that gets a green light In fact were talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians What can we do How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that theyre handing over to the Ukrainians

Fox News host Tucker Carlson elaborated

CARLSON Are you afraid that will escalate tension asks the script reader because even a CBS news anchor knows that sending fighter jets to a war usually does that No replies Tony Blinken that gets a green light

Going forward Blinken explained the Biden administration will use Poland as a cutout to send fighter jets to the government of Ukraine Those jets will be used to fight the Russian military Blinken announces in a calm even tone that suggested this was conventional procedure business as usual nothing to worry about But in fact its not typical Its a very big step It could turn out to be a pivot point in history

Its a remarkable exchange What are we watching here What were watching is the beginning of a war between the United States and Russia If that sounds jarring what else would you call it The Biden administration just inserted itself with force into the middle of a hot war between two foreign powers That means the United States is now an active participant in a war We are at war with Russia

So part one of the plan is in place Were not buying oil from Russia Now we have to do part two We should replace it with American oil not Saudi oil not Iranian oil not Venezuelan oil
