Dear Friends,
Andrew Murray declared, “Let us begin to think as God thinks. Let us accept Christ’s teaching and respond to it. The one object of my being a branch, the one mark of my being a true branch, the one condition of my abiding and growing strong, is that I bear the fruit of the heavenly Vine for dying men to eat and live. And the one thing of which I can have the most perfect assurance is that, with Christ as my Vine, and the Father as my Husbandman, I can indeed be a fruitful branch.”
1. IMMIGRATION INVASION BECOMES A FLOOD: As the Title 42 immigration rule lifted on Thursday night, border patrol officials blocked reporters from filming illegals’ entrance into the U.S. 13,000 illegals are now expected to cross the Southern border every day, and Todd Bensman reveals that Biden’s DHS is coordinating with Mexican officials to tell illegals when to cross.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied reality and attempted to shift blame, saying, “The border is not open” and, “our current situation is the outcome of Congress leaving a broken, outdated immigration system in place for over two decades.” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) visited the border and reacted, “I have to say I am angry because this is deliberate!…This is an invasion and they want the numbers to go up.”
Ed. Note: World Affairs Brief editor Joel Skousen writes, “Clearly there is a huge conspiracy between the US Deep State, operating through the Biden administration, and international organizations to weaponize illegal immigration in order to change the political and social demographics of this country forever.” For more, see Daily Signal Reports LIVE on the Border and America’s Founders Didn’t Support Open Borders, And Neither Should We.
2. U.S. HOUSE EXPOSES MORE BIDEN FAMILY CORRUPTION: Zero Hedge summarizes the recent revelations from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and House Republicans:
- The Biden family received, and tried to hide, over $10 million in payments from foreign nationals.
- A “web” of 20 LLCs was created while Joe Biden was Vice President with a “complicated corporate structure.”
- “At least 15” of the LLCs were formed after Biden became VP in 2009 – several of which were owned or co-owned by Hunter.
- These LLCs accepted payments ranging from $5,000 to $3 million.
Some mainstream media outlets attempted to dismiss the House report, but many simply ignored the story entirely. The same day, the Department of Justice arrested Rep. George Santos (R-NY) for campaign finance violations, allowing media to deflect from Biden’s more significant crimes. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said, “We have the evidence that Hunter Biden paid tens of thousands of dollars for prostitutes that were sex trafficked through an international sex trafficking ring…” Biden recently said he feels “proud” of Hunter and “my son’s done nothing wrong.”
3. THE LEFT IS AGITATING FOR 2020-STYLE RIOTS: Leftists have called for Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old ex-Marine who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a Manhattan subway after Neely threatened passengers, to be punished. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed that Neely was “murdered” and was a victim of an oppressive system. But Charlie Kirk notes, “Jordan Neely had been arrested 40+ times. Once for punching a 64-year-old man in the face at another subway station, and another time for attempted kidnapping of a 7-year-old girl. This is who the Left wants to canonize as the next poster child of oppression, their next George Floyd.”
George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, and other leftist billionaires have funded the group that is now organizing grassroots protests against Neely’s death. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who downgraded 52% of felonies to misdemeanors during his short tenure, responded to mob demands by charging Penny with “manslaughter in the second degree.”
4. CHARLES III CORONATED AS KING: Over 2,200 attended the crowning of King Charles III on Saturday in Westminster Abbey, the first British coronation in almost 70 years. As part of his oath, Charles promised to “maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel.” Female clergy were included in the ceremony, along with representatives from the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh faiths.
Ed. Note: Charles helped launch the WEF’s Great Reset in June 2020. Both Charles III and his father Prince Philip have attended the globalist Bilderberg meetings. For more on King Charles, see The Royal Crowning of King Charles III and the WEF’s Great Reset and Meet King Charles, The Great Resetter.
5. DISINFORMATION GOVERNANCE BOARD 2.0 LAUNCHED: Just The News reports, “Housed in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the new Foreign Malign Influence Center was launched with little public notice but is already provoking fears that it will use overstated foreign threats as a pretext to interfere in domestic political debate or will duplicate other federal efforts, especially a controversial State Department unit that tries to squelch populism abroad.” Journalist Matt Taibi writes, “It’s the basic rhetorical trick of the censorship age: raise a fuss about a foreign threat, using it as a battering ram to get everyone from Congress to the tech companies to submit to increased regulation and surveillance. Then, slowly, adjust your aim to domestic targets.”
6. TRUMP ORDERED TO PAY $5 MILLION: Donald Trump has been ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million for allegedly abusing her 25 years ago. Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said, “It’s a case that normally would be thrown out—but again, it’s Donald Trump.”
Meanwhile, Tara Reade, who says she was assaulted by Biden while she worked for his Senate office in the 1990s, said, “I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden.”
7. RFK JR. SAYS CIA KILLED HIS UNCLE: Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the “Cats Roundtable,” “There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point…” In another interview, Kennedy stated, “When Congress – ten years later – investigated the crime with much more evidence than the Warren Commission had at its disposal, Congress found that, yeah, it was a plot — it was a conspiracy.”
Ed. Note: The Biden Administration has still refused to fully release the remaining classified JFK documents, despite a 1992 law requiring it to do so. During the Trump administration, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pressured Trump to not release all of the JFK documents.
8. WASHINGTON STATE “PROTECTS” CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS: Washington Governor Jay Inslee has signed Senate Bill 5599, allowing “licensed shelters to contact the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) in lieu of parents in certain additional instances, like when a young person is seeking reproductive health services or gender-affirming care.” The Daily Signal notes, “So in other words: If your minor child is interested in gender transition or having an abortion, and you disagree, the state would now swoop in and become the parental figure.” Snohomish County Republican Chairman Bobb Hagglund called the bill “the most evil and aggressively anti-family, anti-child legislation ever proposed in Washington.”
9. U.S. HEADING TOWARDS ENERGY CRISIS: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Commissioner Mark Christie told the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee, “The United States is heading for a reliability crisis” and warned that “extensive power outages” are coming. The Epoch Times reports, “Two bottlenecks are looming—more power is trying to squeeze into an inadequate grid and coal-fired plants are being retired faster than new plants using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are being built to replace them.”
10. BERKSHIRE SHAREHOLDER CALLS OUT BUFFETT, GATES, AT ANNUAL MEETING: Peter Flaherty, chairman and CEO of the National Legal and Policy Center, was silenced, arrested, and removed from Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting after highlighting Bill Gates’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Berkshire CEO Warren Buffett’s support for Gates. Flaherty said, “If woke culture is a disease, then philanthropy is the virus… We know how much Bill Gates cares about children. He met and traveled with Jeffrey Epstein many times after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.” After the event, Flaherty reflected, “I apparently touched the third rail of billionaire politics when I mentioned Jeffrey Epstein’s name. I’ve been involved in shareholder activism for 19 years, and I have never before had my mic cut and I was never before arrested.”
Ed. Note: You can watch Flaherty’s short speech here.
11. MEDICAL SCHOOLS DITCH HEALTH FOR “DIVERSITY”: The Daily Caller reports that around 40 U.S. medical schools have scrapped the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) requirements “in favor of alternative routes available to prospective applicants.” Do No Harm Program Manager Laura Morgan said, “The MCAT has been shown to predict who has the best chance to be successful in medical school. Eliminating it removes a proven standard for schools to consider when admitting students who demonstrate the aptitude to be good doctors.”
12. WALENSKY STEPS DOWN FROM CDC: Dr. Rochelle Walensky has resigned from her position as head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Children’s Health Defense acting president Laura Bono responded, “By the time Walensky signed off on COVID-19 vaccines for infants and children, public health officials knew full well that the virus causes statistically no risk to children, that the vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission and that the rate of vaccine-related deaths and injuries reported by adults was off the charts. Her embrace of draconian pandemic measures for schools and businesses was not based in science and will have lasting, incalculable consequences.”
Ed. Note: For more, read Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s Dishonourable Acts.
13. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SAYS “POPULATION DECLINE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER”: The article declared, “The United Nations predicts dozens of countries will have shrinking populations by 2050. This is good news. Considering no other large animal’s population has grown as much, as quickly, or as devastatingly for other species as ours, we should all be celebrating population decline. Declining populations will ease the pressure eight billion people put on the planet…”
In related news, a birth control vaccine is currently undergoing clinical trials. Dr. Brian Hooker of the Children’s Health Defense warns, “So much can go wrong…The big question that comes to mind is ‘reversibility’…My fear is that many would be left permanently sterile from this type of vaccine.
14. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS LOSE HALF A MILLION MEMBERS: Lifeway Research reports that while the Southern Baptists experienced an increase in giving, in-person attendance, and baptisms in 2022, SBC membership dropped from 13.7 million to 13.2 million members, the largest drop in over 100 years. The Daily Wire reports, “Record decline in Southern Baptist Convention membership occurs as hundreds of pastors throughout the country notice the liberal direction of the denomination.” One pastor wrote, “We do not support the socialist movement that has infiltrated the convention and are no longer a member.”
15. LGBTQ NEWS: Live Action reports that Planned Parenthood, America’s top abortion provider, is now America’s top transgender surgery provider. In a U.S. government-funded transgender study, “two of the study participants committed suicide, 11 experienced suicidal thoughts, and the drugs participants took will likely sterilize them,” reports The Daily Signal.
WND reports, “A new mental health survey out Monday from The Trevor Project shows 41% of LGBTQ young people seriously contemplated attempting suicide in the last year.”
16. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:
- Illinois has proposed a new law to punish schools that remove pornographic or LGBTQ books from their school libraries.
- Journalist Libby Emmons commented on a recent tragic shooting in Texas: “For the Biden administration, the actions of the trans-identified shooter who murdered 3 children and 3 adults spurred a call for gun control. The shooter’s apparent anti-Christian ideology was not mentioned. However, when a Hispanic man who massacred shoppers at a mall was linked to white supremacist views, the White House used that to discuss their efforts against ‘hate-filled’ violence and domestic terrorism.”
- Georgetown, America’s oldest Catholic Jesuit university, announced the erection of a large mosque on campus.
- The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $2.3 million grant to the EcoHealth Alliance, the organization that instigated dangerous coronavirus “gain-of-function” research before the outbreak of Covid-19. Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) called the decision “absolutely reckless.”
- Starbucks is testing the Amazon One palm payment system in Edmonds, Washington. Starbucks has already trialed the technology in New York City.
- January 6 political prisoner Pete Schwartz responded to being sentenced to 14 years, “And I can’t believe 14 years and two months, and the guy in the cell next to me has seven years for murder. And there’s absolutely no harm to anybody from anything I’ve done.”
- The FDA has approved gene-edited pork as “a viable strategy for helping feed the planet’s growing population.” Michael Antoniou, Ph.D., of King’s College London, warns, “Innately, gene editing also can bring about unintended DNA damage…”
- Economist EJ Anton responded to the latest official report stating inflation rose 4.9% over the past year: “Families’ incomes are not keeping up with inflation…the average family has effectively lost $7,100 in annual income under [President Joe] Biden.”
- Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) warns that the border security bill which passed the Republican-led House contains a trojan horse, E-verify, which could be weaponized against law-abiding Americans by Joe Biden.
FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM REPORT
1. AMERICA REDEDICATED TO GOD: The New American reports many pastors and patriots gathered at Virginia Beach on April 26 to commemorate the first landing at Jamestown and rededicate our country to God. Reverend Robert Hunt proclaimed, “We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the people within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.”
2. CHILE CONSERVATIVES SECURE VICTORY: In a rebuke to Chile’s leftist/Marxist president, Chile’s Republican Party won a massive electoral victory, securing 22 of 51 seats, while other right-leaning parties took 11 seats, helping to choose the group who will draft a new Constitution for the country. Former Presidential Candidate Jose Antonio Kast stated, “Today is the first day of a better future, a new start for Chile. Chile has defeated a failed government.”
3. TUCKER CARLSON STRIKES BACK: In a short video, Tucker Carlson announced his show will be returning to Twitter. Carlson stated, “You can’t have a free society if people aren’t allowed to say what they think is true…speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy… At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie.”
4. SAN ANTONIO REFUSES LEFTIST INITIATIVES: 72% of San Antonio voters rejected a referendum which would have prohibited police from enforcing Texas’ abortion law and cracking down on other small crimes. Amy O’Donnell of Texas Alliance for Life stated, “We hope this defeat sends a strong message to those activists seeking to circumvent statewide laws that protect unborn babies from abortion…the bundling of the decriminalization of abortion with other measures, did not work in San Antonio.”
5. MONTANA PROTECTS LIFE: Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed five pro-life bills into law, protecting children who were born alive from failed abortions, shielding healthcare workers who refuse to perform abortions based on conscience, and banning abortions after 24 weeks. Gianforte stated, “For years in Montana, abortion activists have used the cloak of a shaky legal interpretation to advance their pro-abortion agenda. That stops today. No more.”
Ed. Note: While many strides have been made toward protecting life across America, allowing abortions before 24 weeks is still unacceptable.
6. MONTANA PROTECTS ITS LAND: Republican Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill banning “foreign adversaries,” such as China, North Korea, and Russia, from owning land in the state. Gianforte stated, “Montana will not stand idly by as foreign adversaries buy up our farmland, harvest private data, and spy on Americans. Today, we’re doing what the Biden administration won’t do to defend our economic security, food security, and national security assets.”
7. ARIZONA COURT HEARS KARI LAKE: The Arizona Supreme Court ordered a hearing over Kari Lake’s challenge of election results in Maricopa County. Journalist Tracy Beanz praised Lake’s persistence in the case, stating, “If [Lake] and her team threw their hands up, we wouldn’t have any of this information and we never would have gotten this far…WE MUST continue to fight, and we MUST support those with the guts to do what [Lake] is doing.”
8. OKLAHOMA BANS HOMOSEXUAL TV NETWORK: Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) vetoed funding for the Oklahoma Education Television Authority and PBS over their promotion of the LGBTQ agenda to children. Stitt reasoned, “I don’t think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids. And some of the stuff that they’re showing, it just overly sexualizes our kids…why am I using taxpayer dollars to prop that up?”
9. SOUTH DAKOTA SUPPORTS FREEDOM IN EDUCATION: South Dakota changed its woke K-12 history and social studies programs to align with American values, thanks to support and input from Hillsdale College. State historian Ben Miller said the bill rejected John Dewey’s formula of education and “put content and knowledge at the center of things.”
10. FLORIDA FIGHTS CCP: Florida Governor Ron Desantis signed three bills combatting Chinese influence, stating, “I’m proud to sign this legislation to stop the purchase of our farmland and land near our military bases and critical infrastructure by Chinese agents, to stop sensitive digital data from being stored in China, and to stop CCP influence in our education system from grade school to grad school.”
11. DESANTIS PROTECTS FLORIDIANS: Governor Ron Desantis signed “the teachers bill of rights,” which includes prohibitions on what unions can take from teachers’ paychecks, mandates audits on teacher’s unions, and allows the Classic Learning Test to be taken as an alternative to the SAT or ACT. Desantis also put multiple restrictions on illegal immigration, claiming Biden is “sitting around doing nothing of importance or nothing of note while the American people suffer.”
12. VACCINE MANDATES FADING: The University of Michigan reversed its vaccine mandate just before they were set to begin a court battle over the ordinance. In part, the new policy reads, “ [The] COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be required prior to wait-listing of potential adult solid organ transplant recipients.” Medical freedom is gaining ground, as more U.S. medical establishments no longer require Covid vaccines.
13. AMERICANS BELIEVE IN BIOLOGICAL GENDER: A poll taken by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation found the majority of Americans (57%) believe that biological gender is determined at birth. Behavioral therapist Alyssa Wells stated, “We can’t vote until we’re a certain age, we can’t smoke, drink or whatever, but we can change our bodies’ anatomy and how it works? It just doesn’t seem like that’s okay to me.”
14. CAL THOMAS PROMOTES INVESTED PARENTS: Reflecting on his 50 years in journalism, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas stated, “My hope, again, goes back to educating our children and grandchildren in ways that our parents and grandparents educated us. And if you don’t rescue the next generation, you’re not going to have much of a country anymore.”
15. 40 DAYS FOR LIFE SAVES MORE BABIES: 40 Days for Life announced that they saved 680 babies in their recent campaign! CEO Shawn Carney tweeted, “The first two 40 Days for Life campaigns following the overturning of Roe vs Wade were the largest EVER…another example that pro-lifers aren’t going away.” According to its website, the pro-life group has saved over 23,500 babies since 2007.
