Pakistani Muslim man abducts and marries 14-year-old Christian girl

A married Pakistani Muslim, 41-year-old Arshad Habib, who already had three wives, abducted a 14-year-old Christian girl on May 12th. He forcibly converted her to Islam and married her, exploiting her epilepsy and mental health vulnerabilities to sexually abuse her, reports Morning Star News.

The girl’s father, Abbas Masih, a daily wage laborer and member of a local Brethren church in Lahore, the Pakistani capital, said his daughter, Nisha, disappeared on May 12th while working as a domestic helper at a Muslim household.

Police showed the father documents claiming Nisha had converted to Islam on February 15 and married Habib three days later.

According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most oppressive country worldwide for Christians.

Jeff Bezos: We don’t have a tax problem. We have a spending problem.

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, gave CNBC co-anchor Andrew Sorkin a reality check on how ludicrous the Left’s tax-the-rich scheme really is when measured up against the data during the May 20th edition of Squawk Box, reports NewsBusters.org.

Sorkin tried cornering Bezos on the bevy of headlines in the media excoriating billionaires, decrying their wealth accumulation, and vilifying them for supposedly not paying their fair share in taxes.

Bezos was not fazed.

BEZOS: “I think what's going on is that it's kind of a tale of two economies. So, you have a bunch of people in this country who are doing really well. But you also have a bunch of people in this country who are struggling -- rent, groceries.

“A nurse in Queens, who makes $75,000 a year, pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes. Does that really make sense? How about we start by having the nurse in Queens not pay taxes at all.

“The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. The top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all the tax revenue. We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We actually have a spending problem.”

Jeff Bezos gave an example of how spending more money is not necessarily an iron-clad guarantee of fixing a problem.

BEZOS: “The New York City school system: They spend $44,000 per student. That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston. And it's three times more than Miami and Houston. By the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.

“If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, your packages would take six weeks to arrive, we'd have to charge you a $100 delivery fee, and then, when the package did finally arrive, it'd have the wrong item in it anyway.”

Homosexual former Congressman Barney Frank died

Former Democratic Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, a self-avowed homosexual, died May 19th at the age of 86 after entering hospice care at his home in Maine last month due to congestive heart failure, reports The Western Journal.

According to The New York Times, he came out of the sexual perversion closet publicly in an interview with The Boston Globe in the spring of 1987, saying, "If you ask the direct question: 'Are you gay?' the answer is: 'Yes. So what?' "

He was the first open homosexual in Congress and the first one to be faux married in July 2012. Frank met his faux “husband,” Jim Ready, 30 years his junior, at a homosexual political fundraiser in Maine.

Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press in March 2015, Congressman Frank was asked this question by Chuck Todd.

TODD: “You're trying to answer this conundrum. Gay rights were once reviled publicly and Congress was revered. Now, those attitudes have flipped. How did that happen?”

FRANK: “Our reality, as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people, beat the prejudice. The essential mechanism is there, that we stopped hiding. And it turned out we weren't what the stereotype was.

“There was a point when the notion that I could get married to Jim [Ready] while I was still in Congress, would have been the most bizarre possibility. And by the time I got married, someone said, ‘Well, was it controversial that you get married while you were still in Congress?’ And the answer was, ‘Yes, it was. A lot of my colleagues were mad that they didn't get invited.’”

TODD: (laughs)

In an attempt to deflect from the importance of legislating morality on social issues, like homosexual faux marriage and abortion, Congressman Frank said, “The issue is not that morals be applied to public policy. It's that conservatives bring public policy to spheres of our lives where it should not enter.”

But Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

Barney Frank retired from Congress in 2013 and went on to serve as a political commentator, writer, and public figure.

Colorado teacher prohibited 7th grader from reading pro-life poem in class

And finally, a Colorado teacher at Drake Middle School refused to allow a seventh-grade student to present her pro-life poem in class because it was deemed “offensive,” reports LifeSiteNews.com.

GIRL: “My teacher assigned an assignment in class to write a slam poem about a conflict in the world that we are passionate about. I chose life. I chose this topic because it's important to me and my family. In my poem, I met all of the criteria. I got reputable resources. And I included everything that I needed in my poem.”

The opening of the 13-year-old’s poem said,

“A life is a life, no matter how small.

Seventy-three million people have been killed in one year when they are completely innocent humans.

They never get to see the light of day before they are cast away.

They did nothing wrong except exist and were dismissed.

People say women need health care but never think how unfair.

They kill baby for simply being there!

The Word of God says [in Psalm 139:13], ‘You knit me together in my mother’s womb.’

How come we never listen to this and try to send them to the tomb?”

The teacher reportedly tried to kick the girl out of class during other students’ presentations which slammed the Second Amendment and championed sexual perversion.

The girl’s mother said her own mother became pregnant at age 14 and chose life, resulting in strong pro-life convictions in her own family.
