It's Tuesday, November 7th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 2023 Persecutors of the Year report just released International Christian Concern has published their 2023 Persecutors of the Year report. The worst nations are Nigeria, North Korea, India, Iran, China, Pakistan, Eritrea, Algeria, Indonesia, and Azerbaijan.  Jeff King, the ICC president, noted that he is especially concerned about India. He said that, “Mass violence in Chhattisgarh and Manipur in late 2022 and 2023 supply chilling examples of what the future could hold for India's Christian population if radical Hindu nationalism is not checked.” Mr. King further noted that, “there are an estimated 200 to 300 million Christians who suffer persecution worldwide. I've served this targeted group for more than two decades and still wonder why there is no widespread outcry or outrage on their behalf." Nepal's earthquakes killed 200 people Nepal was hit by two earthquakes, both registering 5.6 on the Richter scale, reports the Associated Press. About 4,000 homes were damaged, and over 200 people were killed, according to our contacts in Nepal. The earthquakes centered around Jajarkot, about 250 miles Northeast of Kathmandu.  Israel-Hamas War has led to death toll of 11,400 people The death toll in the Israel-Hamas War initiated by Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, on October 7th has reached 11,400—of which 10,000 have been Palestinians. That's about five times the number killed in the 2014 conflict. And it's about the same number of people killed in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War as well as the same number who died in the The Yom Kippur War of 1973. The Yom Kippur War involved the Arab states of Egypt, Syria, Morocco, and Iraq against Israel. The two-week conflict ended with Israel returning the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt.  Trump skips third GOP presidential debate Wednesday, Nov. 8 The next debate in the contest for the 2024 Presidential Republican nomination is scheduled for tomorrow night in Miami, Florida, reports ABC News. The candidates scheduled to appear include New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. Former President Donald Trump is skipping out on this third debate.  Trump still holds a commanding lead in most polls. Rasmussen has him ahead of DeSantis by 38 points, and ahead of Haley by 41 points. The Harris/X poll has the former president ahead of DeSantis by 50 points.  Iowa Governor endorsed Ron DeSantis for President This just in, as of yesterday. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for the Republican presidential nomination, reports the Des Moines Register. It's a key boost for the DeSantis campaign as the Iowa primaries approach this January. Reynolds, who had been a Trump ally when he held the White House, said she appreciates the former president's accomplishments, but believes it's time to move on. She said, “I don't think he can win.” DeSantis has also recently suggested Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds as a possible vice presidential pick.   Ohio Governor Mike DeWine: Vote “No!” on pro-abortion Issue 1 Concerning the Ohio initiative, Issue 1, which would enable a constitutional amendment to institutionalize the “right to abortion” in the state—Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine and his wife, Fran, have taken to social media to oppose the measure in this upcoming election today.   MIKE:  “Everywhere we go, voters tell us they're confused about issue one. So, Fran and I have carefully studied it.” FRAN: “Issue 1 would allow an abortion at any time during a pregnancy and it would deny parents the right to be involved when their daughter is making the most important decision of her life.” MIKE: “I know Ohioans are divided on the issue of abortion, but whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, Issue 1 is just not right for Ohio.” FRAN: “Issue 1 just goes too far.” Michael W. Smith: Ohioans should vote “No!” on pro-abortion Issue 1 And Contemporary Christian Music artist Michael W. Smith tweeted on X, urging a “No!” vote on the referendum. SMITH: "If this passes, it would not be good. It would change what is now the Heartbeat rule [protecting unborn babies after 6 weeks] and allow up to full-term abortion as the new rule of law. This is serious, everybody, and we all know this is a spiritual battle. But I know by prayer and by casting your vote, you can do your part in the battle for your state and for your people." This critical referendum vote in Ohio takes place today. Ohioans will also vote on the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, reports The Columbus Dispatch.  The prophet Jeremiah speaks to Ohio and Americans today in Jeremiah 18:11-12. “Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now, every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.' And they said, ‘That is hopeless! So, we will walk according to our own plans, and we will, every one, obey the dictates of his evil heart.'” Conservative talk host released part of Nashville shooter's manifesto A media source released the manifesto of the Nashville murderer who killed six people at Covenant Presbyterian School on March 27th of this year. Louder with Crowder has released some of the Manifesto. Stephen Crowder identifies a woke-form of racial hatred as the motive for the crime.    The murderer, Audrey Hale, a woman pretending to be a man, was especially incensed by what she called “white privilege” and “white people in general” in her ramblings. Crowder blames public schools for encouraging students “to believe white people are inherently evil.” But Jesus said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, and murders.” (Mark 7:20) Job sectors where jobs are down and up And finally, want to know the sectors where employment has slipped in the United States? According to The Wolf Street report, the information technology sector lost 130,000 jobs this year. Manufacturing has lost 30,000 jobs. By contrast, the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector has gained 150,000 jobs. Jobs in the federal government increased by 80,000. And state governments and public schools added 200,000 jobs.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Election Day, Tuesday, November 7th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Welcome to the weekend!This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Saturday, February 18, and Sunday, February 19.We're going back to sunny, warmer, and mostly boring weather in a good way for this weekend. According to the National Weather Service it will be mostly sunny with a high near 39 degrees on Saturday in the Cedar Rapids area. On Sunday it will be partly sunny, with a high near 41 degrees. It looks like it will hover above freezing for highs through most of next week, although there may be some snow toward the end of the week.The head of Iowa's Department of Education, which sets standards for K-12 schools and oversees the state's community colleges, is stepping down next month to pursue other opportunities, the Iowa Governor's Office announced Friday.Ann Lebo leaves the department shortly after Republican state lawmakers and Gov. Reynolds approved a new $345 million private school financial aid package, and with dozens of public education-related bills swirling through the Iowa Legislature.Lebo's resignation from the $150,300-a-year job is effective March 14, almost three years to the day since she became the state's director of education, according to the governor's office.Reynolds' office and Department of Education did not respond by Friday evening to questions from the Gazette regarding who would lead the department following Lebo's departure. They also did not immediately respond to requests for a copy of Lebo's resignation letter.A former Iowa Board of Parole member is suing the state, Gov. Kim Reynolds and a former chair, alleging the board made illegal decisions to release people from prison.Kathleen Kooiker, of Osceola, who served on the board from 2018 to 2021, said in the lawsuit she was wrongfully discharged from the paid position when she complained to the governor about former chair Helen Miller's decision to let alternate board members make parole decisions.Kooiker took her concerns to John Lundquist, an attorney with the Iowa Attorney General's Office, who instructed her to call the Department of Corrections and stop those parole proceedings and explain what happened, the suit states.According to the suit, Miller refused to tell the Corrections Department or the parolees about the error and instead ordered vice-chair Norm Granger to help her retroactively add their votes to the decisions made by the illegal panels.Kooiker wrote to Reynolds in July 2020 to report Miller's alleged actions, but did not hear back. Reynolds did not reappoint Kooiker when Kooiker's term expired in 2021, despite reappointment being common among other board members, the suit states. Kooiker again wrote to Reynolds in March 2021, but there was no response.Kooiker is asking the court to require the state to pay her damages equivalent at least to three times the annual wages and benefits she received as a board member. Kooiker's salary for fiscal 2020 was $84,365.Two people were injured in a shooting Friday morning in Cedar Rapids, according to a news release from the Cedar Rapids Police Department.Police were called to the 3000 block of J St. SW at 4:32 a.m. Friday, where they found one man and one woman with gunshot wounds.

Deidre DeJear is among the three Black women running to be some of the first Black women governors in the United States. Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Yolanda Flowers in Alabama are also vying to hold office as their states' top executive.  In 2018, DeJear became the first African American ever to be nominated by a major party for statewide office in Iowa and then did it again this year as the first Black person to ever win the Democratic nominee for governor of Iowa. DeJear is seeking office against Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a popular incumbent seeking reelection, making this the first time two women are running against each other in the state. If elected, it would make DeJear Iowa's first Democratic governor in nearly 16 years. Reynolds boasts an approval rating over 50%, an endorsement from former President Trump, and she delivered the Republican response to President Biden's State of the Union address in March. Reynolds is currently pushing in court to allow a 2018 law to go into effect that would ban abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy- a timeframe before many women even know they are pregnant. The law does carry exceptions for rape, incest, fetal abnormalities and to protect the life of the mother.  In January, the Des Moines Register reported that Governor Reynolds had broken the record for most cash on hand reported for a campaign for Iowa governor- nearly $4.8 million. That kind of campaign finance advantage typically deters challengers, but DeJear has stepped up to the plate and is working to make sure that Monday's upcoming debate shows "the difference between the two... and [the] core issues that folks have been talking about all over the state," DeJear told the Des Moines Register. We speak to Ian Richardson of the Des Moines Register and Deidre DeJear, Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa, for a look into the Iowa governor's race in this edition of our special midterm election series SHElection! in partnership with Center for American Women and Politics and with support from Ms. Foundation.

Ras Smith who is running as a Democrat for Iowa Governor says current Governor Kim Reynolds needs to work for the people. The 33-year-old, three-term state representative from Waterloo visited Sioux City last night. Smith gained prominence by helping broker a police accountability law that passed unanimously after the murder of George Floyd. Since then, he has been critical of priorities passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature, including the new “Back the Blue” bill signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds on Thursday, June 17. “The Governor said she was going to push for anti-racial profiling legislation, and I haven't seen it, and she committed to doing that. We need a governor who has our back, not just brown and Black Iowans, but all Iowans.” The new law makes rioting a felony instead of a misdemeanor and increases penalties for blocking streets and highways. It also makes it harder to sue and win lawsuits against police. Smith made his comments to Siouxland Public Media

The former Iowa Governor and presidential candidate insists that President Obama clearly wants a new farm bill, but suggests that House leadership needs a little push to get the job done before year-end, when permanent law could kick in for dairy price supports and before the federal funding baseline shrinks further as we head into 2013.Tom Vilsack
