Agenda Weekly December 18-30 of 2022 [blog portion]

Dear Friends,

As we close the year with reflection and thanksgiving for God’s amazing grace in our lives, may we recall the second verse of our hymn this week and rejoice that God is so faithfully watching over each of us!

By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God!
By His incessant bounty fed;
By His unerring counsel led!

What a privilege to know that God has placed us here “For such a time as this” (Esther 4:13-14). May we plan well to be faithful servants, ever trusting in our great God. To paraphrase Jonathan Edwards, may we “resolve to to live with all our might, while we do live.”

1. REPUBLICAN SENATORS BETRAY VOTERS: Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell led 18 U.S. Senators to betray conservatives by supporting a $1.7 billion omnibus spending bill that funds a plethora of DNC priorities through September 2023. The 4,155-page-long bill was released at the last minute, giving Senators no time to read it before voting. McConnell claimed that giving money to Ukraine is “the No. 1 priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.” Even Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) voted to advance the omnibus, although he voted against it in the final vote.

The omnibus’ disastrous provisions include $335 million “to prepare for or respond to an influenza pandemic,” along with $600 million more for the weaponized FBI.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said, “It is the height of recklessness for Senate Republican leadership to cut a deal with House Democrats who were just voted out of power and give away the leverage that the incoming Republican majority in the House of Representatives could have used to force the Biden administration to change course on policies that are harming America.”

2. ARIZONA JUDGE DISMISSES LAKE LAWSUIT, IGNORES OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE: Former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Rachel Alexander wrote, “The trial court judge in Kari Lake’s election lawsuit predictably threw out her case on Saturday, putting on a sham trial that on the surface looked fair to the general public that doesn’t know any better, but to legal minds was a travesty of justice. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson only gave her two days for a trial and issued his ruling immediately afterwards, even though he could have taken several days, and it was one of the biggest, most important cases in the country. Legal experts believe his decision was ghostwritten; they suspect top left-wing attorneys like Marc Elias emailed him what to say.” Ted Noel of American Thinker summarized, “Kari Lake failed to meet a standard that is impossible to meet.” Lake has filed a notice of appeal to challenge the dismissal.

3. JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS BLOCKING TRUMP FROM RUNNING IN 2024: The partisan January 6 Committee recommended that Trump be barred from running for office again as part of at least four criminal charge referrals in its final report. The New York Times claims, “Donald Trump knowingly led a dangerous conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and should be held criminally responsible for the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.” The Communist Party USA echoed, “Without the full prosecution and conviction of Trump and his co-conspirators, a version of the January 6, 2021, coup could be attempted again.”

The Committee’s report failed to mention 2020 election discrepancies, the role of federal agents in the January 6 “riot,” or 3 of 4 Trump supporters who were killed by Capitol Police on January 6. For more, read, January 6 Panel Report Makes Contested Claims About Rally That Day, and Excludes Key Events.

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

4. DONALD TRUMP HOSTS GAY MARRIAGE GALA: Former President Donald Trump hosted the LGBT Log Cabin Republicans’ “Spirit of Lincoln” gala at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Politico called the event “a joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier.” Trump received a standing ovation after declaring, “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard. With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides…”

Speakers included Kari Lake, lesbian Fox News commentator Tammy Bruce, and former Trump Director of National Intelligence Ric Grennell, the first openly gay Cabinet member. Kari Lake shockingly said, “My friends when I worked in media for thirty years were the most amazing, fun, smart, savvy people in the world: gay men. I had no idea conservative politics is full of gay men as well.”

Pedro Gonzalez remarked, “It’s not just that Trump is indistinguishable from Biden on this issue; it’s that he is elevating the Log Cabin Republicans and LGBT ideology to a level it has never seen on the right.”

A new report finds that almost 40% of college students identify as LGBTQ, including 70% of students at Wellesley and 61% of students at Smith.

Ed. Note: Patrick Henry once said, “Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.” While we desperately need God’s blessing for the battles we face, how can we expect God to bless conservatives when our most prominent leaders openly promote the anti-family moral perversion warned about in Romans 1? The sad capitulation of so many of our “conservative” leaders to the LGBTQ agenda is symptomatic of culture that has chosen to define good and evil for themselves, rather than holding to the moral absolutes of God’s Word.

5. FBI RESPONDS TO TWITTER FILES: The FBI released a cavalier statement in response to the Twitter Files claiming that, “conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency.”

Twitter employed at least 115 “former” Intel agents, while the FBI pushed Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. The U.K. Daily Mail reports, “Former U.S. government intelligence agents are now working across Silicon Valley in senior roles dedicated to censoring ‘misinformation.’ A large number of ex-officers from the FBI, CIA, NSC, and State Department have taken positions at Facebook, Twitter, and Google.”

6. RFK, JR. RESPONDS TO RELEASED JFK RECORDS: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. called Tucker Carlson’s segment on the JFK assassination “The most courageous newscast in 60 years. The CIA’s murder of my uncle was a successful coup d’état from which are democracy has never recovered.” Roger Simon opines, “If indeed the CIA was in any way involved in the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963, then anything that has happened in the public sphere in our country since that day has basically been a hallucination created by an intelligence agency far deeper than most of us—certainly me, since I was never much given to conspiracy theories—ever imagined.”

Ed. Note: For more, see Tucker Carlson’s brave newscast and JFK assassination expert Jeff Morley’s extensive analysis of the new document dumps.

7. BIDEN ADMIN BLAMES IMMIGRATION CRISIS ON REPUBLICANS: Rather than taking responsibility for ignoring immigration law and actively encouraging mass migration, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Vice President Kamala Harris blamed the immigration crisis on congressional Republicans. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to extend the Title 42 immigration rule, the Daily Signal clarifies, “It’s clear the administration won’t employ it aggressively, nor will it take other serious steps to get illegal immigration under control.” In response, Mayorkas urged Congress to pass Biden’s amnesty plan.

For more, read, 6 Falsehoods From DHS’ Post-Title 42 Immigration Plan.

Ed. Note: Mass illegal immigration furthers multiple Deep State priorities by (1) expanding the DNC’s voter base, (2) providing cheap labor for corporations, (3) weakening’s American economy, (4) diluting culture and society, and (5) undermining national sovereignty, in preparation for a North American superstate.

9. MICHIGAN KIDNAPPING PLOT “RINGLEADER” SENTENCED: The “ringleader” of the October 2020 “plot” to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been sentenced to 19.5 years in prison, while his co-defendant has been sentenced to 16 years. The Gateway Pundit reports, “The FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case…The FBI actually hatched the plot. paid for the plot, ran the plot, and set up the innocent men in their immoral scheme.”

10. SCHOOLS PROMOTE TRANSGENDERISM: An Indiana school board and superintendent have refused to explain their secret plan to help school children “transition” behind their parents’ backs. The CDC has released a “self-assessment tool” to help teachers and schools rate their classroom’s commitment to “LGBTQ inclusivity.” Police and U.S. military targeted a New Jersey mother who spoke out against transgenderism being promoted in her school.

A new study from the U.K. finds that “approximately one-third of children and young people being referred to the Tavistock [for transgender surgeries] had autism.” U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel (Robert) Levine, a biological man who pretends to be a woman, has called for Big Tech to censor “misinformation” related to “gender-affirming care.”

Ed. Note: Today’s public schools are corrupting and dumbing down America’s children. It’s time for concerned parents to launch a mass exodus. Learn more at PublicSchoolExit.com.

11. BIDEN LEAVES OUT CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS MESSAGE: Joe Biden, who claims to be a devout Catholic, omitted the name of Jesus in this year’s Christmas message. By contrast, President Donald Trump called Christmas a time to “celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ,” in his 2020 Christmas message.

12. BLOOMBERG ENDORSES CLIMATE TERRORISM: Bloomberg published a headline (that has since been edited) titled, “The Climate Movement Needs to Embrace Property Destruction,” urging climate activists to “escalate their tactics.” Another Bloomberg article claims, “From farm to fork, the food system generates about 31 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Cows and sheep emit planet-warming methane simply by digesting food; their manure and urine are a source of nitrogen oxide which, in large volumes, throws ecosystems off kilter.” In related news, a startup geoengineering company is actively working to dim the sun via chemtrail terraforming, in the name of “fighting climate change.”

13. COVID DEATHS IN GERMANY: An insurance report from Germany shows that since 2021, “Sudden, Unexpected Deaths Exploded” from 8,000 per quarter to 14,000 per quarter. Medical pathologists from Germany’s Heidelberg University Hospital discovered that 30% of those who died shortly after Covid vaccination died because of the vaccination. Bundestag [German federal parliament] Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki has called for an investigation into the “link between vaccination, myocarditis, and death.”

14. VACCINE FACTS VS. VACCINE PROPAGANDA: The W.H.O. promoted a video by Dr. Peter Hotez, claiming, “Anti-vaccine activism, which I actually call anti-science aggression, has now become a major killing force globally…Anti-science now kills more people than things like gun violence, global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, or cyber-attacks.” A new study from the American Journal of Medicine claims that the unvaccinated are more likely to crash their vehicles than the vaccinated.

Ed Dowd estimates that 2.7 million Americans are being killed or disabled by Covid vaccines each year. The FDA has finally admitted that the Pfizer Covid vaccine is linked to blood clotting. Vaccine researcher Steve Kirsch reported a 10-inch blood clot from a live individual who received the Covid shot.

In a recent interview, Dr. Robert Malone said that Americans have been subject to “military-grade information warfare” over the past three years. Dr. Peter McCullough says, “This is the most toxic vaccine by the CDC data that we’ve ever seen in clinical medicine.”

15. BIG BROTHER ON THE RISE: The World Economic Forum will promote a global “Building the Metaverse” surveillance initiative at its 2023 Davos meeting. A coalition of powerful private companies called the “Better Identity Coalition” has released a “digital ID blueprint” recommending that individual states implement Digital IDs. New York City mayor Eric Adams defended the city’s use of questionable facial recognition technology with these words: “Big Brother is protecting you.”

16. THE MARXIST WAR ON AMERICA’S HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION: George Orwell wrote in 1984, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” West Point will remove a bust of General Robert E. Lee from the U.S. Military Academy. Lee, a former West Point superintendent, freed his slaves (all of which were inherited) before joining the War Between the States on the side of the Confederacy. The Washington Post (which is itself named after a slave owner) reports that the U.S. Capitol “honors” at least 140 slave owners in its artwork.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a member of the January 6 Committee, has called the Electoral College “a danger not just to democracy, but to the American people.”

Ed. Note: Goal #30 of the 45 Communist goals for America states, “Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.’” Goal #29 states, “Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.” The Communist-controlled Democratic Party is achieving both of these goals today.

17. TOY MAKERS AND “KIDULTS”: CNBC reports, “Adults are buying toys for themselves, and it’s the biggest source of growth for the industry…These kids at heart are responsible for one-fourth of all toy sales annually, around $9 billion worth, and are the biggest driver of growth throughout the industry.” Jeremy Padawer of toy company Jazwares commented, “The definition of adulthood has definitely evolved. What it used to mean, to be an adult, was to be a very upstanding, serious member of society. And to do that, you had to demonstrate it intellectually, emotionally, in every other single way.” Morgan Stanley reports that almost half of Americans aged 18 to 29 still live with their parents.

Ed. Note: In 1904, G Stanley Hall, the first President of the American Psychological Association, coined the term “adolescent.” Hall believed, “adolescence is a time for idealism, ambitiousness, rebellion, passion, suffering as well as expressing feelings.” In other words, children were never to truly grow up.

18. XI AND PUTIN TO MEET: The Washington Post reports, “Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow for a visit next year, as the two leaders affirmed their ties at a virtual meeting on Friday…Putin told Xi the two countries would continue strengthening military cooperation.” The Daily Mail reports, “China deployed 71 warplanes to skies around Taiwan in a chilling ‘strike drill,’ then blamed the U.S. for ‘provocations’ and ‘collusion’ with self-governing island — in one of the biggest daily incursions to date.”

19. TYRANNY ABROAD: The Gateway Pundit reports, “The Brazilian Supreme Court has issued arrest warrants for opposition figures for ‘undemocratic acts,’ including journalist Oswaldo Eustáquio and comedian Bismark Fugazza. They are in hiding or on the run.” Breitbart reports, “A Norwegian filmmaker is facing up to three years in jail for posting on Facebook that male-to-female transgenders can’t be lesbians — an apparent violation of the country’s hate speech laws.” The European Court of Human Rights upheld the conviction of former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour over comments he made critical of Islam.

20. MORE ELECTION NEWS: An audit of the 2020 election in Texas reports “Very serious issues” in Harris county. Attorney Kurt Schlighter explains that the GOP under Ronna McDaniel pulled out of Arizona the day after the midterm election, leaving GOP candidates to fight election fraud on their own.

FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM REPORT

1. PRO-LIFERS SCORE MORE VICTORIES: Odessa, Texas, has become the 62nd Sanctuary City for the Unborn. In Texas, abortions have dropped by 97% since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Florida abortions have fallen by over 11,000 this year. Fifty anti-abortion laws have taken effect this year in the United States.

January 2023 will witness the first March for Life since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. March for Life President Jeanne Mancini encouraged pro-lifers, “Abortion is expected to take well over 700,000 lives nationwide in the coming year. Even though the overturning of Roe v. Wade is an enormous victory for the pro-life movement, we have a duty to fearlessly continue marching because our work as the largest and longest-running human rights march nationwide is far from finished. We will continue to courageously and joyfully march until the grave injustice of abortion is unthinkable, and every life is valued and protected. I can’t think of a worthier cause.”

2. FLORIDA SUPREME COURT APPROVES GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE COVID VACCINES: The Florida Supreme Court ordered, “A statewide grand jury shall be promptly impaneled for a term of twelve calendar months…to investigate crime, return indictments, make presentments, and otherwise perform all functions of a grand jury with regard to the offenses stated herein.” On December 13, Governor DeSantis stated, “In Florida, it is against the law to mislead and to misrepresent, particularly when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug.”

3. HEALTHCARE WORKERS FIRED OVER COVID VACCINE MANDATE WIN $10.3 MILLION: 500 workers who were fired by Illinois’ NorthShore University Healthsystem won a $10.3 settlement. “This case should set a precedent for other employers who have violated the law by denying religious exemptions for their employees,” said Harry Mihet of Liberty Counsel.

4. AMERICANS INCREASINGLY DISTRUST VACCINES: Around half of U.S. adults say they don’t need the latest Covid booster. The Washington Post reports, “More than a third of parents with children under 18 — and 28 percent of all adults — now say parents should be able to decide not to vaccinate their children for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) to attend public schools.” The Epoch Times reports, “The sudden deaths of young people associated with mRNA and other COVID-19 vaccines, as well as the slew of devastating side effects” and the refusal of government agencies to acknowledge vaccine injuries have led to greater distrust in vaccines.

5. SWISS DOCTOR FORMS INTERNATIONAL BLOOD BANK FOR UNVACCINATED: Swiss naturopath George Della Pietra has founded Safe Blood Donation to connect “members with medical partners who will accept donations and provide blood to patients hesitant to receive vaccinated blood,” according to Life Site News. The group said its “main goal is not to run our own blood bank…but to match blood donors and recipients, which we bring together in a clinic (medical partner) that allows the choice of blood donor.”

6. TENNIS STAR RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA: Tennis star Novak Djokovic has returned to Australia, almost one year after authorities capriciously kicked him out of the country for refusing to take the experimental mRNA Covid injection. Djokovic said, “It’s great to be back in Australia. It’s a country where I’ve had tremendous success in my career, particularly in Melbourne…”

7. CONSERVATIVE MP CALLS FOR SUSPENSION OF COVID JABS: In a speech in the British House of Commons, Conservative U.K. MP Andrew Bridgen said of Covid vaccines, “I implore the government to halt their use immediately. The data clearly shows that they are not safe, not effective, and not necessary. The government’s current policies on mRNA vaccines are on the wrong side of medical ethics, the wrong side of data, and ultimately will be on the wrong side of history.”

8. DELAWARE SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN UNIVERSAL MAIL-IN-VOTING: The Epoch Times reports, “The Supreme Court of Delaware has formally struck down state laws allowing universal mail-in voting and same-day voter registration, finding that the statutes violate the state’s constitution.” Christian Adams of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which litigated the case, said, “This was a monumental victory in the election integrity space…Today’s opinion is a victory for the rule of law in elections.”

9. GEORGIA CITY TAKES BACK ELECTION CONTROL: The City Council of Milton, Georgia, voted unanimously to take back control of municipal elections from Fulton County. The plan “100% excludes machines, scanners, devices, etc.,” and requires all paper ballots, according to The Georgia Record.

You can donate to the January 6 Defense Legal Fund here.

11. HOMESCHOOLERS SCORE HIGHER ON CLASSIC LEARNING TEST: Houston Christian University professor Lisa Treleaven reports that homeschooled students outperformed public, private, and charter school students on the Classic Learning Test.

Treleaven said, “This is consistent with prior research findings of superior academic performance of homeschool students as compared to other school types.”

12. LIBS OF TIKTOK CREATOR GOES PUBLIC: Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik appeared on Tucker Carlson to explain why she decided to reveal her identity and take the “next step” in helping parents combat leftism activism in schools. Raichik said of those pushing the transgender agenda: “They’re bad people.

14. DAVID LIMBAUGH EXPLAINS WHAT LED HIM TO CHRISTIANITY: In a recent interview, David Limbaugh, brother of former radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, explained what led him from skepticism to faith in Christ: “One of the things when I was a skeptic, that finally put me over the top…was the pervasiveness of evil in the world. There’s no other explanation of evil — the level and intensity of evil that we witness — than the Biblical worldview. That is the only thing that satisfactorily explains what we witness on this earth.” Limbaugh called believers to “put on the full armor of God.”

15. WORLD CUP CHAMPION GIVES GLORY TO GOD: Argentina won the World Cup Final against France in a game watched by 1.5 billion people worldwide, one that has been called by some “the greatest World Cup Final ever.” Argentinian star player Lionel Messi gave all the glory to God, simply stating, “The truth is that I thank God for giving me everything. He’s given me everything.”

HYMN OF THE WEEK

Great God, We Sing that Mighty Hand by George Elvey

Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand!

We to Thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet.

In scenes exalted or depressed,
Be Thou our Joy, and Thou our Rest!

Adored through all our changing days!
