Nigerian Muslims killed 25 Christians

Nigerian Fulani Muslim herdsmen, and other terrorists, attacked villages in the Plateau State at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, January 24th, killing at least 25 Christians, following the deaths of six others last week, reports Morning Star News.

In a text message, Hosea Ibrahim said, “The invaders surrounded the village … and they shot at anyone they sighted. Twenty-five Christians, who were mostly women and children, were killed during the attack.”

Why Senator Rand Paul opposes Nikki Haley’s candidacy

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is so philosophically opposed to Nikki Haley’s GOP presidential candidacy that he created a new website – www.NeverNikki.net – exclusively devoted to his opposition.

PAUL: “I’m announcing this morning that I’m ‘Never Nikki [Haley.]’ And if you go to www.NeverNikki.net, you can let her know that you’re not a supporter either. I don’t think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley. I’ve seen her attitude towards our interventions overseas. I’ve seen her involvement in the military industrial complex, $8 million being paid to become part of the team.

“But I’ve also seen her indicate that she thinks you should be registered to use the internet. I think she fails to understand that our Republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Madison, John Jay, and others who posted routinely, for fear of the government, they posted routinely anonymously. So, I’m announcing today I’m ‘Never Nikki.’ You can go to www.NeverNikki.net and sign up and show her that you’re ‘Never Nikki’ also.”

Appearing on Tucker Carlson’s Twitter show, Senator Paul shared more detail.

PAUL: “It gets to me when I see people who I think care more about the borders of Ukraine than they care about our own southern border. I see these people every day because they’re the entire Democratic caucus up here, but they’re half of my caucus. Half of my Republican caucus is as we speak, ready to sell out, and they’re ready to sell out fake border reform in exchange for what they really want, which is to send more of your tax dollars to Ukraine.

“I think Nikki Haley fits right in that camp. I think she’s from the [Senator Mitch] McConnell/ [Vice President] Dick Cheney wing of the party. And this is the antithesis of everything I believe in.”

Trial begins for six pro-lifers targeted by Biden over peaceful protest

The trial for six pro-life rescuers targeted by the Biden administration for peacefully protesting a Tennessee abortion mill back on March 5, 2021 began in federal court in Nashville on Wednesday, reports The Daily Wire.

The pro-life activists are accused of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for a protest that took place in a hallway outside of a Mount Juliet, Tennessee abortion provider. On that day, a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building outside the innocuously named Carafem Health Center Clinic which is an abortion mill. The pro-lifers prayed, sang hymns, and urged women showing up to the clinic to not get abortions.

Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.”

Eleven of the protesters were arrested for trespassing, at the time, after local police arrived and dispersed the crowd. In October 2022, the 11 pro-lifers were indicted by a federal grand jury after the Justice Department pursued charges against them. Unbelievably, if convicted, the pro-lifers could face up to 11 years in prison and $250,000 worth of fines.

As the trial began, roughly 40 people sat in the gallery, including family of those on trial and multiple people who brought Bibles along.

During the opening statement, the federal government accused the pro-lifers of plotting to “block doors to a health care clinic” and saying that the demonstrators planned on being arrested.

Each of the lawyers for the pro-life defendants then had an opportunity to give an opening statement.  Jodie Bell, Chet Gallagher’s lawyer, said that the pro-lifers were peaceful and were only trying to convince pregnant women not to abort their unborn children. The other lawyers said that their clients never injured, threatened, or assaulted anyone during the protest.

Steve Crampton, with the Thomas More Society, said that his client, Paul Vaughn, was an innocent man, and the protest was a “non-violent, peaceful exercise.”

After the opening statements, the government called on Mount Juliet police officer Lance Schneider to testify. During his testimony, Schneider, who has been a police officer for 24 years, said that police were called to the scene because business was being disrupted. He said that the protesters were “not being violent” and were offering no physical resistance.

Officer Schneider, who said he arrested four juveniles that day, noted that the Mount Juliet Police did not make any arrests for assault or fear of assault. After court adjourned, several of the pro-lifers on trial, and their supporters, gathered outside to sing the Christian hymn “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.”

Overseeing the case is Judge Aleta Trauger, appointed to the court in 1998 by then Democrat President Bill Clinton.

Snowboarding coach fired for affirmation of God-given gender

And finally, a Vermont high school snowboarding coach, named David Bloch, was fired for stating that males are biologically different than females.  He’s filing an appeal in federal court after the school district denied his request for reinstatement, reports FaithWire.com.

Bloch explained.

BLOCH: “During downtime at a competition that involved the team with a male athlete, who identifies as a female, two of my players and I were sitting together at a table. The conversation turned to whether male athletes should compete against female athletes based on asserted gender identity. One student at the table, a male, said that he thought athletes should compete against males or females according to their sex rather than asserted gender identity. The other student, a female responded by calling him transphobic.

“I then joined the conversation. I said that ‘even though I recognize that people may express themselves in particular ways, what matters most when it comes to sports is the very real differences between the sexes.’ I pointed out that ‘an archaeologist might not be able to determine whether a person identified as a male or female, but he would be able to tell whether the bones had male or female DNA.’

“Everyone remained respectful. And even though we may not have agreed, the female student thanked me for what she called a ‘good conversation.’ Even though the school district seized upon that conversation to hand me my walking papers the very next day.”

Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.”
