AGENDA Weekly Brief Week of April 22-28 – Curtis Bowers

Dear Friends,

Hannah Whitehall Smith wrote, “No man or company of men, no power in earth or heaven, can touch the soul which is abiding in Christ, without first passing through His encircling presence, and receiving the seal of His permission. If God be for us, it matters not who may be against us; nothing can disturb or harm us except He shall see that it is best for us and shall stand aside to let it pass.”

1. BIDEN ANNOUNCES 2024 CAMPAIGN: Joe Biden has announced a 2024 campaign via a short video message. Biden said, “When I ran for president four years ago, I said we were in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are…Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans…Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms.” Family Research Council Head Tony Perkins called Biden’s words “a dog whistle for the left” and said, “He [Biden] has been systematically taking away the freedom and amassing power of government over families, children, individuals, on down the line.” The 81-year-old socialist Senator Bernie Sanders has already endorsed Biden’s 2024 campaign.

If (s)elected again, the physically and mentally challenged Biden would be 86 by the end of his second term. 70% of Americans believe Biden should not run again, including 48% of Americans who believe Biden should not run due to his age. Charlie Kirk tweeted, “Why wouldn’t Biden run? Candidates mean nothing to Democrats. It’s about ballot chasing, voter reg, law-fare, relaxing signature verification, and getting pieces of paper in drop boxes. They will raise billions to feed a machine that can elect anyone. Will we learn?”

2. DEMOCRATS ARE RIGGING PRIMARY SYSTEM: The DNC announced it will not hold primary debates for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination. 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard (who has since left the DNC) responded, “When I ran for Pres in 2020, the debates were rigged but in a subtle way. Preferred candidates were given more time and fed softball questions. This time Democrats are taking no chances…” This follows the DNC’s decision to replace New Hampshire (where Biden only came in fifth) with South Carolina (which Biden won in 2020) as the first primary state. The Gateway Pundit commented, “Communists don’t need to sell their candidates or their policies. They steal elections and shove their crimes in your face.”

3. WHY WAS TUCKER CARLSON BOOTED FROM FOX NEWS? Fox News announced that it agreed to “part ways” with Tucker Carlson, the most popular host on cable television. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said of Carlson’s April 19 monologue, “Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content, and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless.”

In March, following Tucker’s coverage of January 6, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded, “Order Tucker Carlson and other hosts on Fox News to stop spreading the Big Lie.”

One report noted that Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox, was triggered by Tucker’s latest speech: “That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk.” Greg Price elaborates, “Apparently Tucker Carlson had dinner with Rupert Murdoch and his then fiancé (who would’ve been his 5th wife at 92 years) in late March in which she called him a ‘messenger from God.’ Rupert then dumped her and fired Tucker from his network a month later.”

Breitbart reports that Fox may be trying to keep Tucker off the air through 2024: “Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election.”

Fox Corporation shares fell by 5.1% following the announcement, while Tucker’s 8PM time slot only averaged 1.7 million viewers, compared to the previous average of 3.2 million. Meanwhile, a short video from Tucker posted on Twitter garnered 66 million views.

4. PROUD BOYS TRIAL COULD DETERMINE TRUMP’S FATE: Julie Kelly explains how the outcome of the January 6 Proud Boys trial could be used against Trump: “The Proud Boys face three conspiracy counts: seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and a conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties.” Kelly observes, “No one should doubt for a moment that the most vengeful, partisan Justice Department in U.S. history would happily hand down a criminal charge comparable to treason against a former president it opposed. Without a shred of accountability for its abusive January 6 prosecution, which has resulted in charges against more than 1,000 Americans so far with perhaps 1,000 more arrests to come, there is no reason…[to not] indict Trump on most or all of the conspiracy charges.”

In related news, two Soros-funded non-profits are attempting to use the Fourteenth Amendment to bar Trump from running for President in 2024 under the charge of engaging in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States.

5. EVIL ASSAULT ON CHILDREN CONTINUES: Joe Biden shockingly summed up what radical leftists think of your children in a recent speech: “There’s no such thing as someone else’s child. No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.” Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) shot back, “Parents, your children are NOT property of the state. This is not the Soviet Union. You must stand up for Parental Rights!”

The United Nations has designated April, which used to be Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, as “Sex Ed Month For All,” while a recent World Health Organization document advocated defiling children at very young ages.

Leftist Minnesota state rep. Leigh Fink introduced legislation that would have added pedophilia as a legally protected sexual orientation. A Missouri elementary school flagrantly ignored state law by reading a transgender-promoting children’s book to a second-grade class without parental consent.

Ed. Note: Vladimir Lenin said, “Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” It is time for concerned parents to pull their children from government schools, guard against the decadent agenda of social media, entertainment, and celebrity culture, and ground their children in the truth.

6. NAOMI WOLF CALLS COVID VACCINES “GREATEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY” IN HISTORY: In a recent speech at Hillsdale College, Dr. Naomi Wolf revealed 11 stunning findings from the Pfizer documents reviewed by her team of 3,500 experts. Wolf explained that the Chinese Communist Party owns the Pfizer/BioNTech plants “producing the injection that goes into the bodies of schoolchildren here in the United States of America.” Wolf concluded, “So, these are monsters, and there’s no way to avoid concluding that they’re focused on disrupting human reproduction….[It’s] a bioweapon and… we’re under attack.”

7. LEFT DOUBLES DOWN ON CENSORSHIP: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called free speech “destabilizing” and said his government is organizing internet censors as part of a Digital Safety Commission. Journalist Michael Shellenberger, who previously testified before Congres, warns that the “Censorship Industrial Complex” is looking to censor “problematic content” on encrypted messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently noted, “There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys.”

8. CORPORATIONS UNDERMINE MOTHER’S DAY: DoorDash, Kay’s Jewelers, Fry’s Food Stores, Hallmark, and Kroger sent emails asking customers if they would like to opt-out from Mother’s Day promotions. The message from Kay’s Jeweler’s said, “We know Mother’s Day can be a challenging time, which is why we want to know if you’d rather not receive Mother’s Day-related emails.” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called out corporate hypocrisy: “Brands are bending over backwards to let customers ‘opt out’ of Mother’s Day. Can we opt out of Pride Month spam, too?”

9. RFK JR. SAYS COVID LOCKDOWNS DECIMATED MIDDLE CLASS: In a recent interview, 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, “The strength of a nation comes from a strong economy and a vibrant middle class, and we have wiped out the middle class in the country systematically.” Kennedy said the Covid lockdowns created “500 new billionaires” and shifted $4 trillion from the middle class to the ultra-rich. Kennedy observed, “The Oxfam report, which came out this week, shows that the billionaires that existed at the beginning of the pandemic, the people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeffrey Bezos, Bloomberg, etc., increased their wealth by 30 percent during the pandemic. From the lockdowns. And Amazon got to shut down all of its competitors.”

10. ELON MUSK BUILDING ANOTHER PLANT IN COMMUNIST CHINA: Elon Musk is opening a new “mega factory” in Communist China to produce Telsa’s massive energy-storage batteries. Catherine Salgado writes, “All major businesses in China are surveilled by and answerable to the CCP, and the CCP practices ‘civil-military fusion’–where everything in the economic and tech spheres is accessible to the Chinese military. The CCP is also history’s greatest mass murderer, having killed over 500 million people.”

11. CHINA, RUSSIA, AND UKRAINE: Richard Haas, president of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, suggested Ukraine may not be able to win the war: “If Ukraine can’t gain dramatically on the battlefield, the question inevitably arises as to whether it is time for a negotiated stop to the fighting. It’s expensive, we’re running low on munitions, we’ve got other contingencies around the world to prepare for.” The U.K.’s Telegraph reports that China is preparing for war: “The CCP, a vastly wealthy, unelected gang of Marxist revolutionaries, is busily pursuing asymmetric warfare with the US and the rest of the free world, while building up arsenals of everything from drone swarms and lasers to nuclear warheads and hypersonic missiles capable of winning or forestalling full-on nuclear hostilities. The only reason one would acquire these weapons is the expectation of future confrontation with the West; it plainly shows who they perceive the real enemy to be.”

12. IMMIGRATION NEWS:  Breitbart reports, “A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American Express to fly migrants into the United States.” HHS Whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas told Congress that the U.S. government is acting as the “middleman in a large scale multi-billion dollar child trafficking operation that is run by bad actors seeking to profit off of the lives of children…”

In a recent interview, Vice President Kamala said the Trump administration “dismantled” and “broke” America’s immigration system and that the Biden administration has been “attempting to fix it.”

Ed. Note: Karl Marx once said,  “Accuse your enemy of what you are doing, as you are doing it to create confusion.”

13. CLIMATE CONTROL NEWS: Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have reintroduced their Green New Deal legislation. Markey and AOC heralded the Inflation Reduction Act as the first battle in the fight, and Markey said, “In the four years since we first introduced the Green New Deal, the tides of our movement have risen and lifted climate action to the top of the national agenda.”

Biden’s EPA has proposed mandated “carbon capture” at power plants, a measure that would raise electricity costs between up to 50% or higher, doubling Americans’ power bills.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm supports a plan to switch to all-electric vehicles for the military by 2030. Retired Army Colonel James Hutton responded, “@SecGranholm knows zero about battlefield realities. There’s zero chance of our military forces being able to field an all EV [Electric Vehicle] fleet in a mere seven years. More importantly, such an effort would make the military almost completely dependent on China for its source of fuel.”

14. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:

• Bed Bath and Beyond, a woke company that previously canceled MyPillow, has officially filed for bankruptcy.
• Zero Hedge reports, “A viral TikTok video shows a Target store in San Francisco, with at least one entire aisle of products behind security glass amid years of failed social justice reforms that have sparked a shoplifting crisis.”
• The Netherlands will extend euthanasia access to children between one and 12 years old.
• Presidential candidate and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley sided with Disney in its war against children and DeSantis, inviting the company to move to South Carolina and calling big corporations “partners.”
• Info Wars reports, “A new study by German researchers has concluded that face masks can cause carbon dioxide poisoning when worn even for short periods and may have contributed significantly to stillbirths when worn by pregnant women, as well as testicular dysfunction and cognitive decline in children, among other destructive health issues.”
• Covid vaccine truth teller and British MP Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Conservative Party for quoting an Israeli doctor who called Covid vaccines “the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.”

• Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill banning “assault-style weapons” in Washington state.
• Kyle Rittenhouse is facing another lawsuit for defending himself against BLM rioters in 2020. Rittenhouse said, “If I lose this lawsuit, it sets a precedent. It shows that if you do everything right and still end up in a situation where you need to defend yourself, the system will take everything from you.”
• Two IRS whistleblowers say that the Justice Department has blocked tax violation charges against Hunter Biden.
• Following intense pressure from lobbyists, the Missouri House Committee on Emerging Issues voted 10-4 against the Informed Consent Bill that would have mandated labeling food products containing mRNA.

FAITH, FAMILY & FREEDOM REPORT

1. KANSAS PROTECTS BABIES AND WOMEN: Lawmakers in Kansas overturned Democrat Governor Laura Kelly’s veto of a bill that bans males from entering female bathrooms and vice versa (84-40 in the House and 28-12 in the Senate). The Legislature also reversed her veto of The Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, said, “We thank the leaders in the Kansas House and Senate who are leading the way in protecting babies born alive following an abortion.”

2. MISSISSIPPI PROTECTS LIFE: Mississippi passed eight new laws supporting pregnancy centers and helping foster children. Governor Tate Reeves announced, “Our state will continue to be a beacon on the hill, a symbol of hope for the country, and a model for the nation…The legislation I signed today is further proof that when it comes to protecting life, Mississippi isn’t just talking the talk – we’re walking the walk.”

3. NORTH DAKOTA STANDS FOR CHILDREN: North Dakota became the latest state to ban abortions after six weeks. Governor Doug Burgum affirmed, “This bill clarifies and refines existing state law… and reaffirms North Dakota as a pro-life state.” Burgum also signed a bill banning gender surgeries for minors to “[protect] children from the life-altering ramifications of gender reassignment surgeries.”

4. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ADVANCES IN TEXAS: The Texas Senate passed three bills returning prayer and Bible reading to schools, placing the Ten Commandments in schools, and allowing teachers to express their religious beliefs. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said, “I believe that you cannot change the culture of the country until you change the culture of mankind. Bringing the Ten Commandments and prayer back to our public schools will enable our students to become better Texans.”

5. FLORIDA PROTECTS CHILDREN’S INNOCENCE: The 2022 Parental Rights in Education Act banned teaching gender ideology to students 5th grade and under in the Sunshine State. The law now applies to grades K-12, and teachers who indoctrinate children with such ideologies can lose their licenses. Governor Ron Desantis declared, “It is wrong for a teacher to tell a student that they may have been born in the wrong body or that their gender is a choice. And so we don’t let that happen in Florida.”

6. CLIMATE CHANGE NARRATIVE CRUMBLING: A University of Chicago poll found that 51% of Americans do not believe humans are the source of climate change, up from 40% five years ago. Chris Morrison commented, “It appears that the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to pay even the chump change in their back pockets to stop the climate changing.”

7. MICHIGAN ADVANCES ELECTION INTEGRITY: Concerned Michigan citizens have launched Check My Vote, an organization to ensure election integrity by helping Michiganders track their voting history and “facilitate ongoing citizen oversight, data integrity, transparency, and accountability…” Tim Vetter, co-founder of Check My Vote, stated, “User feedback is helping us put Michigan on the cutting edge of voter roll truth and accuracy…Dirty voter rolls are a national security issue.”

8. NEBRASKA PASSES CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY: Nebraska became the 27th state to pass Constitutional Carry, which allows gun owners to conceal carry without a permit. Governor Jim Pillen celebrated the new law, “Signing this bill upholds the promise I made to voters to protect our constitutional rights and promote common sense, conservative values.”

9. STATES MOVE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS: As information reveals that mRNA is infiltrating the food supply, states are stepping up to meet this new and unprecedented challenge. Five States (North Dakota, Tennessee, Arizona, Idaho, and Missouri) have introduced bills which would restrict the use of mRNA in the livestock industry or require companies to reveal its contents on their packaging. Missouri state Rep. Holly Jones stated, “We should label anything that has not been proven safe and effective. As we’ve seen with the COVID vaccines, they’re neither safe nor effective.”

10. DISNEY LOSES $250 MILLION: Disney took a major hit after incorporating homosexual characters into their newest movies for children, Lightyear and Strange World. Each movie lost well over $100 million after their releases.

11. REPUBLICAN MARK ROBINSON ANNOUNCES BID FOR NC GOVERNOR: North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who recently announced his run for governor, appears to be a strong Christian and conservative, taking a stand on issues including guns, abortion, and school indoctrination. In 2022, Robinson explained why transgenderism is sweeping America: “Why? Because God has been removed from the equation. His argument has been removed from the equation. His wisdom has been removed from the equation. Why? Because his people have withdrawn themselves from the equation.”

12. PARENTING ESSENTIAL FOR FREEDOM: Allie Beth Stuckey highlighted the importance of strong families in her speech at The Heritage Foundation’s Leadership Summit: “There is no better antidote to the turbulent times that we live in than stable families. There is no better antidote to an age of confusion and cowardice than children who grow up to be agents of clarity and courage…Let us be ambassadors for what is unabashedly good, right, and true.”

13. CHRISTIANS WILL WITNESS AT SATANIC GATHERING: The largest Satanic gathering in history will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, from April 28-30, and many Christians are planning to witness to those in attendance. Suzie MacAskill shared her reason for praying and sharing the gospel at the demonic event: “God is showing me that I need to…look at each individual and see them as lost, broken, wounded, seeking and be the person who stands in the gap to cry out for their salvation.”

14. SMALL REMNANT MAKING A DIFFERENCE: George Barna’s latest study shows that while American religion is declining, true Christians are becoming more involved in politics and culture. Barna stated, “[There is a] core of Bible-believing Christians in America who don’t want to just sit and tell other people what to do, but they want to make things happen. They have real ideas about how the world can change for the better, and they’re going to pour themselves into it.”

HYMN OF THE WEEK

Jesus Shall Reign By Isaac Watts

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run!
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

To Him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown His head!
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name!

Let every creature rise and bring
The highest honors to our King!
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen!
