Kenyan woman leaves Islam after having visions of Jesus

On January 13 2021 Mansitula Buliro a Kenyan woman experienced visions of Jesus calling for her to follow Him amid her Muslim evening prayers reports International Christian Concern

For hours Buliro asked her Christian neighbor about her visions She concluded that Jesus was real put her complete faith in Him and returned home to pray to the one true God Suddenly a neighbor knocked on the door He discovered Buliro praying as a Christian and left immediately

Buliros husband believed her to be possessed and became angry She explained I kept quiet He started slapping and kicking me indiscriminately I then fell He went inside the house and came back with a knife and started cutting my mouth saying Allahu akbar which means the Muslim god is greater I am punishing you to not speak about Yeshua in my house This is a Muslim home

Her screams along with her childrens cries alarmed the neighbors who stopped the attack He divorced her on the spot and threatened to kill her if she did not leave Tragically as a result of the attack Buliro miscarried their 13-week-old baby She is now living with a Christian family

President Bidens mask double standard

Last Thursday Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy challenged White House press secretary Jen Psaki on President Bidens mask-wearing hypocrisy as he was maskless on federal land at the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday night despite his 100-day Executive Order requiring masks on all federal lands

DOOCY Why werent President Biden and all members of the Biden family math at all times on federal lands last night if he signed an executive order that mandates masks on federal lands at all times

PSAKI He was celebrating an evening of a historic day in our country And certainly he signed the mask mandate because its a way to send a message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks how it can save tens of thousands of lives We take a number of COVID precautions as you know here in terms of testing social distancing mask-wearing ourselves

DOOCY But Joe Biden often talks about it is not just important the example of power but the power of our example Was that a good example for people who are watching who might not pay attention

PSAKI The power of his example is also the message he sends by signing 25 executive orders including almost half of them related to COVID I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time

Matthew 75 says You hypocrite first take the log out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye

President Biden calls for unity while demonizing opponents

In his inaugural address given to a smattering of officials and an empty mall President Biden advocated for unity

BIDEN I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real But I also know they are not new Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal -- that we are all created equal -- and the harsh ugly reality that racism nativism fear and demonization have long torn us apart

The battle is perennial And victory is never assured Through the Civil War the Great Depression World War 911 through struggle sacrifice and setbacks our better angels have always prevailed

Ironically in a non-unifying tweet on January 7 BidenlabeledTrump supporters who gathered at the Capitol on January 6th the vast majority of whom were peaceful as domestic terrorists

Here is an audio clip revealing that Bidens call for unity is not terribly genuine

The Houses inflamed rhetoric over Trumps second impeachment

With only seven days left in President Trumps term Democrat Congressman Steny Hoyer of Maryland made the closing argument on the House floor for a second impeachment

HOYER Upon the foundations of virtue reason and patient wisdom laid down by George Washington as our first president Donald Trump has constructed a glass palace of lies fear mongering and sedition Last Wednesday on January 6 the nation in the world watched it shatter to pieces There can be no mistaking any longer the kind of man sitting in the Oval Office The curtain has been pulled back The office to which he was elected could not temper or reform him

Washingtons legacy was passed down to us not as written decrees but understood norms how we ought to act how we ought to conduct ourselves Term after term each occupant has observed those norms out of a recognition that our Constitutions articles are not the only preservative of our democracy

And Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming the third-ranking House Republican said in a statement There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution

President Trump might echo the words of King David from Psalm 1092 -- For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me speaking against me with lying tongues

House impeaches President Trump for second time

In a vote of 232 to 197 all House Democrats and ten Republicans voted to impeach President Trump for a second time on Wednesday over the role they say he played in instigating the riot last week on Capitol Hill reports RealClearPoliticscom

Listen to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announce that moment

PELOSI On this vote the eyes are 232 the nays are 197 The resolution is adopted Without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table

In addition to Rep Liz Cheney of Wyoming the other nine Republican Congressmen who supported impeachment included John Katko of New York Adam Kinzinger of Illinois Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio Fred Upton and Peter Meijer of Michigan Jaime Beutler and Dan Newhouse of Washington state Tom Rice of South Carolina and David Valadao of California reports the Associated Press

The GOP votes were in sharp contrast to the unanimous support for Trump among House Republicans when he was first impeached by Democrats in 2019

What did President Trump actually say on January 6th

In light of this knee-jerk second impeachment by every Democrat and a handful of Republicans who hated President Trumps agenda from the beginning it is worth reviewing what did Trump actually say at the Save America Rally on January 6th

Listen for yourself

TRUMP Were gonna walk down to the Capitol And were gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women And were probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because youll never take back our country with weakness You have to show strength and you have to be strong We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated lawfully slated

Here is the critical sentence that the mainstream media has ignored

TRUMP I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard Today we will see whether republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections

As clear as a bell President Trump urged his supporters to be peaceful How ironic in light of all the heated rhetoric and the second impeachment vote
