Kenyan Somalis killed 7 Kenyan Christian farmers

On April 25th, International Christian Concern reports that Muslim Somali herders killed seven Christian farmers in Kitui County, Kenya in a raid.

The raiders left behind burned homes, scattered belongings, and families struggling to come to terms with the loss. Local church leaders said many of the affected families are now dealing with loss on multiple levels, including loved ones, homes, and livelihoods.

Remember Jesus’s words in Revelation 2:10. He said, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.”

War with Iran has cost America $70 billion

The cost of war in Iran continues to rise.

The Trump administration announced that the war has cost $25 billion, but that does not include the cost to rebuild destroyed military bases in the Middle East.

The Iran War Cost Tracker has the cost of the war pegged at more than $70 billion. That is more than $1 billion dollars a day.

Trump removed 300,000 illegals from Social Security rolls

The Trump administration is working to reform Social Security by removing illegal aliens off the rolls.

Listen to President Trump’s latest comments on his protection of Social Security.

TRUMP: “Together with the Republicans in Congress, we've removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roles. (applause and cheers) And we've removed more than 100,000 migrants from Medicare eligibility: 100,000 and the number is going up.

“What we're really doing is saving Social Security because it was so rife with fraud.”

Supreme Court rules against race-based Congressional districts

In a blockbuster decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against apportioning congressional districts by race, effectively neutering a portion of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Following the decision, a flurry of Republican states, including

Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida began working towards redistricting in favor of Republicans.

However, Democrats are planning their own redistricting efforts, as both parties remain deadlocked in midterm election jockeying.

Supreme Court temporarily allows mail-order abortion drugs

In other Supreme Court headlines, it issued an administrative stay on Monday of a lower court ruling, which would have put a stop to the mail order program for the Abortion Kill Pill.

The administrative order will hold for a week, while the court gives the Food and Drug Administration opportunity to respond.

U.S. public school enrollment is down

Public school enrollment is down in the United States — a 900,000-person drop over the last decade.

During the same period, Edunomics Lab reports that staffing has actually increased by about the same amount -- 700,000 people or about 12%, ironically.

The government school monopoly spends $1 trillion per year on their program, averaging $17,000 per student. Per student costs, adjusted for inflation, have doubled since 1980.

$17,000 cost-per-public schooler vs. $1,600 per homeschooler

The Homeschool Legal Defense Association surveyed 4,000 homeschool families and found the per-child costs for homeschooling an elementary school student runs around $1,300, and $1,600 for a middle and high school student.

That means a family with five children saves the state $85,000 per year in education costs, and then, spends $7,000 of their own money doing it.

America’s property tax revolt

There is somewhat of a property tax revolt going on across the country. Florida lawmakers are proposing an end to local government property tax.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has suggested something similar. And the states of Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wyoming have other initiatives in process to reform property tax in favor of the taxpayers.

1 Samuel 8 speaks of this tyranny: “[Samuel] said, ‘This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons. … He will take your daughters. … He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage. … And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”
