Epoch Times interviewed Vern Pierson, district attorney of El Dorado County in Northern California, about the crime wave in CA. Pierson provided lots of specifics. In general, the voters and the politicians are at odds with one another: voters want more accountability and politicians are becoming more lenient. [If you just watch the excerpt, you will wonder how merchants can continue in business with the vast amount of merchandise that is being stolen daily. The police seem to be stuck in the middle, and figuratively hand-cuffed. If you do not want your neighborhood to be like the above video, don’t vote democrat — that is the main point I got from the video.]

Venezuela Empties Prisons and Sends Criminals to US Border: House Republicans – Epoch Times
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), who is leading the Republican effort to have Mayorkas answer questions, said in the Sept. 22 letter that the decision by the Nicolas Maduro regime has put the United States “in grave danger.” “We write you with serious concern about a recent U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intelligence report received by Border Patrol that instructs agents to look for violent criminals from Venezuela among the migrant caravans heading towards the U.S.-Mexico border,” …Former President Donald Trump issued such a warning several times in 2021.

‘The truth is being exposed … He wasn’t just a blob of cells,’ says the mom. A Missouri mom has shared the photos of her miscarried 14-week-old son with the world.

From one of our live events, R.C. Sproul discusses the distinct roles of the church and the state in addressing one of the most serious ethical issues that America has ever faced: abortion. [In the video interview, Sproul speaks from a biblical worldview, anyone who subscribes to the very recent worldview of evolution will misinterpret his remarks. I linked a recent post wherein these two worldviews are contrasted; and quoted a few scriptures that speak of God as Judge of His universe.]
Secret Service Enforce Border Around Kamala Harris’ Home – American Faith
When asked by a reporter just outside the vice president’s home if the migrant believes Harris’ assertion that the southern border is closed, the foreign national answered, “The border is open…everybody believes that the border is open. It’s open because we enter. We come in, free, no problem…We came illegally.” …On Sept. 11, just days before the migrants were delivered outside her door, Harris was interviewed on “Meet the Press” by NBC’s Chuck Todd when she assured viewers that the border is “secure.” “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris said. [She is trying to blame the problem on guess who? Former president Trump.]
‘The Government Is Not Our Friend’: Founder of True the Vote Discusses Being Targeted by FBI, IRS – Epoch Times
Years before the FBI raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of election monitoring organization True the Vote, already understood that federal agencies were being weaponized against political foes. During President Barack Obama’s administration, her personal, business, and nonprofit dealings suddenly became of intense interest to the federal government. She endured more than 15 instances of audits or inquiries from the FBI, IRS, Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Engelbrecht said seeing Trump’s home raided made her sick. It reminded her of her own experience and offered proof that more than a decade after her dealings with federal law enforcement began, the United States is moving toward communism.

A team of nine experts from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and other top universities has published paradigm-shifting research about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines and why mandating vaccines for college students is unethical.
