Chicago street preachers targeted for arrest

According to a new lawsuit from the American Center for Law and Justice, Chicago recently detained three Christian street preachers — all of whom were “wrongfully arrested for nothing more than sharing the Gospel in public,” reports the Western Journal.

The legal advocacy group said in a March 14th press release that street preacher Brett Raio was arrested and charged for sharing the gospel in Millennium Park. Although his case was dismissed before trial — with the ACLJ showing video evidence that exonerated him — his two friends were soon arrested at the same spot.

Beyond getting slapped with baseless charges, the three friends were held in jail for more than seven hours. The ACLJ said, “It is a deliberate effort to silence religious expression.”

Chicago law “only requires permits for amplification” that is too loud. But, according to the ACLJ, police are simply arresting any preacher who uses amplification at all.

The Christian legal group asserted, “This has all the markings of unconstitutional targeting of preachers, displaying an unlawful anti-Christian animus.”

Matthew 5:10 states, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.”

Trump’s Dept. of Homeland Security pick passes thanks to Democrat

Last Thursday, a key Senate committee voted 8-7 to advance President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, reported NBC News.

The vote in the Senate Homeland Security Committee sends Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to the full Senate for consideration one day after a contentious confirmation hearing.

The committee is divided between eight Republicans and seven Democrats. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who chairs the committee, voted against Mullin after taking him to task for “anger issues” at his hearing one day earlier.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania broke with other Democrats to vote for Mullin, ensuring that he advanced to the Senate floor, where he needs 51 votes for confirmation.

On March 5th, the president fired Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Stephen Miller: Democrats oppose voter I.D. because they want to cheat

Democrats continue to oppose the S.A.V.E. America Act which would require voter I.D. in all 50 states.

Listen to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

SCHUMER: “The core of the bill is handing the voter rolls over to DHS, putting them through an algorithm that knocks, supposedly knocks out illegal immigrants from voting.”

In an interview with Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, on Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity said this.

HANNITY: “Seventy-one percent of Democrats believe [in] proof of citizenship, voter ID, so we can have election integrity and confidence in results. They, [the Democrats], don't want it. Why?”

MILLER: “Well, we know why they don't want to, Sean, is because they want to cheat. That is the bottom of this whole entire thing.

“When you have overwhelming super majorities of all races, all political parties, all ages, all demographics, all political ideologies of the voting public, who want voter ID, who want proof of citizenship, but you have the elected Democrat Party, the Democrat officials, in the House, in the Senate, at the state level, fighting, with every ounce of strength they have, to block voter ID, to block proof of citizenship, there is one and only one reason. And that is to enable cheating.”

Miller revealed that the hostility of Democratic politicians to fair elections is even more demonstrable than that.

MILLER: “Here's something, Sean, that your audience may not know. At the beginning of this administration, we asked every state, red and blue, to share with us their voter rolls, so that we could scrub it against the DHS file of illegal aliens to remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls.

“Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused.

“In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls, removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.

“That's not just the only thing. They don't want to get dead people off the rolls. They don't want to get felons off the rolls. They don't want to get out-of-state voters off the rolls. They don't want to get double and triple voters out of the count because they want the fraud.”

Proverbs 10:9 says, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”

Republicans could lose mid-term elections on economy

Pollster Scott Rasmussen warned last Wednesday that if economic confidence remains at its current levels, the Republican Party may be on track for a shellacking in November’s midterm elections, reports the Western Journal.

Rasmussen, widely considered Republican-leaning, said that the GOP would lose control of both chambers of Congress if voters’ pessimism about their personal finances does not improve, adding that “the window is rapidly closing” for mitigation.

The pollster also emphasized that much of this low economic confidence is due to how President Donald Trump’s war in Iran is causing fuel prices to skyrocket.
