Peter and Ray discuss how Bitwise Industries has not paid business taxes to the City of Fresno since September 2021, according to a letter released by the City of Fresno on Wednesday. The two dig deep on the topic. A letter from Mayor Jerry Dyer and addressed to founders Jake Soberal and Irma Olguin, Jr., reveals that “Bitwise-related entities have not reported any gross receipts nor paid City business taxes since September of 2021.” The letter requests accounting documents to be sent to the City Controller within 30 days of receipt of the letter threatening “further action against Bitwise and its Board of Directors” if it is not received.

Several classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered  in a private office. Biden's lawyers say they found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office – the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. The Justice Department has now opened an investigation, which The New York Times said could lead to a special counsel being appointed - as has happened in the case of Donald Trump and the hundreds of documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago. Donald Trump asked: 'When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?'  With more storms predicted for Fresno, the city announced it will convert its overnight warming shelters to 24-hour storm relief centers for homeless people. Mayor Jerry Dyer also announced at a Monday morning news conference that code enforcement will leave homeless encampments undisturbed.  Hundreds of thousands more students across the US have been placed under Covid restrictions as schools and colleges bring back mask and testing mandates.

We talk about street racing. Fresno leaders hired a consultant last year to explore developing a motorsports facility to combat the growing trend of dangerous and illegal street racing in the city. Early on, however, the idea was parked because city leaders did not want to add traffic or contribute other potential harms to one of the city's most pollution-burdened neighborhoods, Mayor Jerry Dyer told The Bee. The dangers of street racing took center stage at the end of 2020 when a speed-racing driver caused a multi-vehicle crash in northwest Fresno that killed four people. Since then, Fresno law enforcement agencies have cracked down on street racing, but drivers continue to cause disruptions. - Listeners CommentSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Wednesday, August 31st, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists shut down church Chinese officials liquidated an historic house church in Shaanxi Province earlier this month. The Church of Abundance had been operating for about 30 years. Officials shut it down for being a “illegal social organization.” Communists placed the church's pastor, Lian Changnian, and his son, Pastor Lian Xuliang, under residential surveillance. The latest closure is part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's plan to force Protestant churches to join the government-controlled Three-Self Church or face liquidation. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:8-10, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” India's hostility to girls slightly less pronounced Pew Research reports that India's sex ratio at birth has been moving toward balance. The sex ratio imbalance arose in the 1970s as Indian families used sex-selective abortions tragically to kill girls and ensure the birth of boys. At least nine million female births went “missing” between 2000 and 2019.  For decades, the sex ratio at birth was about 110 boys per 100 girls. The latest 2019-2021 National Family Health Survey found that the ratio has narrowed to 108 boys per 100 girls. Notably, Christians in India maintained a healthy sex ratio at birth compared to other religious groups in the Hindu-majority country. Court to California: Stop forcing churches to pay for abortions Last Thursday, a U.S. federal judge ruled California cannot force churches to cover abortions in their insurance plans. Alliance Defending Freedom represented Foothill Church, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and Shepherd of the Hills Church in their suit against California. The state's 2014 Department of Managed Health Care policy removed any limitations on abortion coverage in health care plans. ADF Senior Counsel Jeremiah Galus said, “The government can't force a church or any other religious employer to violate their faith and conscience by participating in funding abortion. For years, California has unconstitutionally targeted faith-based organizations.  So, we're pleased the court has found this mandate unconstitutional and will allow the churches we represent to operate freely according to their religious beliefs.” CA mayor vetoed Planned Parenthood million-dollar grant A California mayor is standing up against abortion funding. On August 18, Fresno City Council voted 5-1 to give a one million dollar grant to a local Planned Parenthood. Last Thursday, to his credit, Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer vetoed the grant. Dyer stated, “I remain hopeful that the Council will reconsider accepting funds on behalf of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, and instead work to see that a health-related agency is identified as the local administrator of state funds.” The council will consider overriding the mayor's veto. Join me and thank Mayor Jerry Dyer by calling (559) 621-8000, writing him at 2600 Fresno Street, Room 2075, Fresno, CA 93721, or emailing him through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   FL voters elected conservative majorities in 5 school boards On Tuesday, candidates opposed to Critical Race Theory  won a majority of seats in five Florida counties.  The candidates received backing from Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the 1776 Project PAC. The political action committee is devoted to replacing woke school board members across the nation. The recent election flipped Florida's Miami-Dade County to conservative. It's the most populous county in Florida and has the largest school district in the state. Miami-Dade County is now the largest county in America with a conservative school board majority. Proverbs 1:7 speaks to education, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Only 51% of Evangelical pastors have a biblical worldview And finally, a study this year from Dr. George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found just 37% of Christian pastors and only 51% of Evangelical pastors have a biblical worldview. The latest report from the university found pastors from non-denominational and independent Protestant churches were the most likely to hold to basic biblical views.  Surprisingly, the study found few evangelical pastors hold a majority of biblical beliefs. Even fewer pastors from mainline, Pentecostal, and Catholic churches hold biblical beliefs. And pastors of Holiness churches and traditionally black denominations were the least likely to hold biblical beliefs.  Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, August 31st, in the year of our Lord 2022. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

US officials are rushing to provide more help and weapons to Ukraine because, they said, that is making a difference in the war. But that is precisely what Russian officials are blaming for an escalation in this conflict. Former NFL football player and philanthropist Jack Brewer is demanding MSNBC host Joy Reid apologize for her tweet claiming a photo of young Black boys attending an event where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an anti-critical race theory bill "is tantamount to child abuse." Brewer explained the boys in the photo are students of his education and mentorship programs and were well aware of why they were attending the event. After a delay of nearly a week, the Florida Department of Education has released two examples that it says back up its rejection of dozens of math textbooks because they contained questions and exercises based on Common Core or critical race theory, issues that opponents say are not actual problems.
