Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com The gospel is about sacrifice. It came as a sacrifice, it lived a sacrifice, it ended in a sacrifice… if we do not share the gospel in a sacrifice mindset (that it will cost us) then we will never share the gospel - we will just share salvation. i.e. I want you to know about Jesus, but only if it is comfortable for me to share it and it does not cost me anything… that is anti Gospel. - im only sharing it because its comfortable to me… its not really about the gospel- its about me… uh oh! The highest form of selfishness is a man content to go to heaven alone! JC Ryle V. 16 ASHAMED epaischunomai: To be ashamed, to feel shame Original Word: ἐπαισχύνομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: epaischunomai Pronunciation: ep-ahee-skhoo'-nom-ahee Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ahee-skhoo'-nom-ahee) Definition: To be ashamed, to feel shame Meaning: I am ashamed, am ashamed of. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "on") and the verb αἰσχύνω (aischynō, meaning "to be ashamed”). In sum, 1870/epaisxynomai ("dishonor") refers to being disgraced, bringing on "fitting" shame that matches the error of wrongly identifying (aligning) with something. I.e. I will not be the one who identifies with someone who is afraid or ashamed to share the gospel. BUT - epaisxýnomai (from epi, "on, fitting" intensifying 153/aisxynō, "disgrace") – properly, I will not be like someone "singled out" because they misplaced their confidence or support. Dumb it down for me: Paul is saying I will not be the one who stands before God and is the one who was afraid or ashamed of sharing the gospel. V. 16 POWER Meaning: (a) physical power, force, might, ability, efficacy, energy, meaning (b) plur: powerful deeds, deeds showing (physical) power, marvelous works. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb δύναμαι (dunamai), meaning "to be able" or "to have power." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3581 (koach): Often translated as strength or power, used to describe God's creative and sustaining power. - H1369 (geburah): Refers to might or strength, often in the context of God's mighty acts. Usage: Dunamis primarily denotes power, strength, or ability. It is often used in the New The early Christians understood dunamis as the transformative power of God at work in believers, enabling them to live out their faith and witness to the world. HELPS Word-studies 1411 dýnamis (from 1410 /dýnamai, "able, having ability") – properly, "ability to perform" (L-N); for the believer, power to achieve by applying the Lord's inherent abilities. (1411 /dýnamis) is needed in every scene of life to really grow in sanctification and prepare for heaven (glorification). 1411 (dýnamis) is a very important term, used 120 times in the NT. universally, "inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth” The power of God - This expression means that it is the way in which God exerts his power in the salvation of people. It is the efficacious or mighty plan, by which power goes forth to save, and by which all the obstacles of man's redemption are taken away. This expression implies, (1) That it is God's plan, or his appointment. It is not the device of man. (2) It is adapted to the end. It is suited to overcome the obstacles in the way. It is not merely the instrument by which God exerts his power, but it has an inherent adaptedness to the end, it is suited to accomplish salvation to man so that it may be denominated power. (3) It is mighty, hence, it is called power, and the power of God. If is not a feeble and ineffectual instrumentality, but it is “mighty to the pulling down of strongholds,” 2Co 10:4-5. It has shown its power as applicable to every degree of sin, to every combination of wickedness. It has gone against the sins of the world, and evinced its power to save sinners of all grades, and to overcome and subdue every mighty form of iniquity, Dumb it down for you… it is the super steroid for your life. Jesus shares the gospel and moves in power The disciples in Mark 9, 10 share the gospel and move in power In Acts they share the gospel and move in power Power for every occasion- miracles, healing, financial, wisdom, protection, relationships…

At the time, the administration cited issues such as the impact of LNG exports on greenhouse gas emissions and rising energy costs for Americans as reasons for the pause. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) revoked on Jan. 21 a Biden-era regulation that restricted LNG exports, paving the way for capacity additions in the sector and strengthening America's energy industry. The DOE announced that effective Tuesday, it is ending the pause as part of restoring the “Trump energy dominance agenda.” The United States is already the world's largest LNG exporter and shipped 88.3 million tonnes of superchilled gas in 2024.

Have you noticed the loudest voices aren't always the wisest? Bold words often leave broken relationships and chaos in their wake. What if the tension around us—and within us—comes from trusting the wrong kind of wisdom? Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 3:17-18. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. — James 3:17-18 PART 1: OBSERVATION — What the Text Says Words & Phrases: Wisdom from above: Wisdom originating from God. Pure: Without corruption or contamination, holy. Peaceable: Promoting peace, avoiding conflict. Gentle: Kind, considerate, not harsh. Open to reason: Willing to listen, teachable, not stubborn. Full of mercy and good fruits: Overflowing with compassion and producing virtuous actions. Impartial: Not showing favoritism, treating everyone equally. Sincere: Genuine, without hypocrisy. Harvest of righteousness: Refers to the results of living rightly according to God's standards. Sown in peace: Actions taken peacefully lead to good outcomes. By those who make peace: Peacemakers actively foster peace. Characters: No specific individuals other than those who would receive the open letter. Grammar: A list of qualities for "wisdom from above." A conjunction "then" shows a sequence of wisdom attributes. A metaphor of "a harvest of righteousness" connects cause and effect. Structure: Verse 17 defines the attributes of "wisdom from above." Verse 18 shifts to the outcome: "peace sown by peacemakers." Genre: James is an epistle or letter written to many groups. Mood: The tone is instructive. PART 2: INTERPRETATION — What the Text Says to the Original Audience Who: Author: James, the brother of Jesus, writes to Jewish Christians scattered among the nations (James 1:1). Audience: Believers struggling with division, favoritism, and worldly wisdom within their community. What: James contrasts earthly, unspiritual wisdom from below (described earlier in James 3:14-16) with divine wisdom from above. Where: Written to the early church addressing practical issues in Christian communities. When: It was written around AD 45-49 when early Christians learned to live out their faith amidst cultural and spiritual challenges. How: The metaphor of sowing and harvesting resonates with the audience's agricultural context. Why: To guide believers in discerning true wisdom and encourage them to be peacemakers, fostering unity and righteousness. PART 3: APPLICATION — What the Text Means to Me & You Today Bridge the Gap: Timeless Truth: Godly wisdom is characterized by seven attributes that produce righteousness through peacemaking. God's Character: God values wisdom that aligns with His nature. Personal Reflection: Do my attitudes and actions reflect God's character and wisdom, or am I seeking selfish ambition? If my attitudes and actions reflect "wisdom from above," I should see a "harvest of righteousness" around me. I shouldn't see "burned bridges" and "tense relationship" or "wins for me and losses for them." I should see "peace" and "peacemaking" all around me, and people should be drawn to me for this reason. If you've ever chased after the loudest voices or leaned into selfish ambition, you know tension and division don't take long to creep in. But we are reminded there's a better way. Godly wisdom isn't about being the loudest or getting ahead; it's about living a life that reflects the character of Christ. Ask yourself: Do my words and actions leave peace or conflict in their wake? Am I open to God's wisdom—pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy—or have I let earthly desires take over? It's never too late to surrender. Give up the ambition that burns bridges. Let go of attitudes that stir chaos. Step into the wisdom of God that produces a harvest of righteousness. Today, I invite you to give in to God. If you're tired of burning bridges, come to Him. Ask Him to replace selfish ambition with His peace and righteousness. Ask Him to make you a peacemaker in your home, workplace, and community. Here is a prayer, I am going to prayer over you and me today: Father, I've tried to lead with my own wisdom, and it's left me weary and broken. I surrender my desires, my plans, and my pride to You. Teach me to live with Your wisdom and to sow peace wherever I go. May my life reflect Your character and bring glory to Your name. Amen. #GodlyWisdom, #Peacemakers, #HarvestOfRighteousness ASK THIS: Do my words and actions promote peace or create tension and conflict? How can I reflect God's wisdom in my daily decisions? What attitudes or ambitions do I need to surrender to God? Am I open to being teachable and gentle in my relationships? DO THIS: Ask God to reveal one attitude or habit that hinders peace and commit to replacing it with an action that reflects His wisdom. PRAY THIS: Father, guide my heart to seek Your wisdom above all else, letting it shape my words, actions, and relationships. Help me to be a peacemaker, sowing righteousness and reflecting Your character in everything I do. Amen PLAY THIS: Christ Our Wisdom.
Acts 2:1-13 Holy Spirit's power to give us the strength to accomplish His plans! Acts 2:1 “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.” We are Better Together! Pentecost means ‘fifteth'. Refers to the Jewish feast of Shavuot- 50 days after Passover. Pentecost is a harvest festival! Acts 2:41 ‘So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.' When the law was given-3,000 died. When Holy Spirit was given-3,000 were saved! This Pentecost fulfilled its eternally determined destiny. To provide power to give strength to believers. This power was introduced with spectacular signs: 1. Power Acts 2:2 ‘And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.' Suddenly-abruptly, unexpectedly and immediately. Not an actual wind but the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Violent blasting roar. 2. Presence Acts 2:3 ‘and divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.' No one was left out and no one was excluded. Do you long for the power to be stronger? He is here to give it to you today! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

Marcus and Corey 'What You Know 'Bout That' trivia game for Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.
We imagine that love is the product of a kind or generous heart. We confuse love with sentiment. Maybe we want others to like us. Perhaps we can't stomach their suffering, so we medicate them with lies, or we embrace their fantasies because they accommodate our needs. We coddle sentiment as a virtue because it feels safe, womblike, and even noble. Sentiment reinforces our private delusions. There is no better resolution for cognitive dissonance than sentimentality. Sentiment is practically Western doctrine. Make everyone feel good. How dare you not? How dare you be so unfeeling, so cold, so unloving? The problem with this line of thinking is that it is evil. Only a self-oriented person believes that a human being is capable of love.God is the only one who loves his children. If you keep insisting on yourself, which is indicative of what Chris Hedges calls hyper-masculinity, that's all you will ever understand about relationships. You will never find him. Those who think otherwise always end up alone, sitting in someone else's chair until the day he appears. You cannot meet God until you are not there, Habibi. You will never find him in your “community,” you harlots. “You brood of vipers.” Truly ba‘alic—the lot of you, “reclining together.” That is the prophetic and Pauline wisdom that Jesus uses in Luke 7 to trap Simon, who fancies himself something when he is nothing.“Do you see this woman, Simon?” Do you dare judge her? Worse, do you dare judge her rightly? Nothing in the Bible is worse than being right about a wrong that condemns you. Jesus does not praise her because she loves much. How could he? That is akin to Simon's mistake. She is a human. She is incapable of love. Instead, the Lord praises the only one who loved her, the one who gave her the tears to wash his feet when he forgave her much, forgiveness she received from above in submission to him. Simon, on the other hand, judged much.“What caused you to deny the Master, Simon?” You fool. There is no Judge but him. If I were you, I would trade in my sandals for a pair of running shoes. This week, I discuss Luke 7:40-50.Show Notesδανιστής / ת-ו-ך (tav-waw-kaf) / ت-ك-ت (tāʾ-kāf-tāʾ) The Greek word δανιστής(danistēs), “moneylender,” refers to a person who lends money, often with interest, associated with violence in Scripture. In Luke 7:41 it is aligned with the function תֹּךְ (tok), which carries the usage “violence” and “oppression” in Proverbs:“The poor man and the oppressor תְּכָכִים (tekakim) have this in common: The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.” (Proverbs 29:13)In Arabic تَكَتَكَ (taktaka) means to trample underfoot or to crush, akin to war. تَكَتُك (takatuk): A repetitive sound, such as tapping or clicking, reflecting rhythmic motion or action. The war drum. In Semitic, the idea of trampling extends to subjugation, domination, or persistent oppression, aligning with its use in biblical Hebrew and in Luke 7. δάκρυ / ד-מ-ע (dalet-mem-ʿayin) / د-م-ع (dal-mīm-ʿayn)“I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears דִּמְעָתִי (dim‘ati).” (Psalm 6:6)ἔλαιον / ש-מ-ן (shin-mem-nun) / س-م-ن (sīn-mīm-nūn) Fat, oil, olive oil. “Then Jacob got up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had placed as a support for his head, and set it up as a memorial stone, and poured oil (שֶׁ֫מֶן, shemen) on top of it.” (Genesis 28:18)“You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with oil (שֶׁ֫מֶן, shemen), because your olives will drop off.” (Deuteronomy 28:40)“You will sow but you will not harvest. You will tread the olive press, but will not anoint yourself with oil (שֶׁ֫מֶן, shemen); and [you will tread] grapes, but you will not drink wine.” (Micha 6:15)“For their mother has committed prostitution; she who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil (שַׁמְנִי, shemeni), and my drink.'” (Hosea 2:5)The function س-م-ن (sīn-mīm-nūn) appears four times in the Qur'an, twice regarding Joseph's dreams and the famine in Egypt, once regarding the Hospitality of Abraham, and once referring to food for the unrighteous from the “thorny plant” on the Day of Judgment: لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍlā yus'minu wa lā yugh'nī min jūʿ“[Which] neither fattens nor avails against hunger.”Surah Al-Ghashiyah (88:7)μύρον / מֹר — מ-ר-ר (mem-resh-resh) / م-ر-ر (mīm-rāʼ-rāʼ) The function מ-ר-ר conveys bitterness, sharpness, or acridity, both literally (in taste and smell) and metaphorically. The Arabic مُرّ (murr) and مِرَّة (mirrah) are cognates of the biblical Hebrew מֹר (mor), which refers to myrrh, the fragrant yet bitter resin. Related Semitic Cognates: Aramaic: מָרָא (mara) — Bitter.; Akkadian: murru — Bitter or acrid.μύρον — ב-ש-ם (bet-shin-mem) / ب-ش-م (bāʼ-shīn-mīm) Refers to balsam or other fragrant substances. In some cases, overlaps with the use of μύρον/מֹר to describe fragrant materials mixed with oils. “Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all the trees of frankincense; myrrh (מֹר, mor) and aloes, along with all the finest balsam (בְּשָׂמִים, b'samim) oils.” (Song of Songs 4:14)συνανάκειμαι (synanakeimai) (Luke 7:49) THE WORD “RECLINE” DOES NOT APPEAR IN LUKE 7. Three distinct functions describe the action translated as reclining, “synanakeimai” being the third. Each Greek term corresponds to a unique Semitic function. The appearance of the third action condemns Simon and those who congregate with him. “To recline together.” In Maccabees, made functional by Luke, communal reclining, shared meals, companionship, and “500” elephants all serve a wicked scheme: “οἱ δὲ συνανακείμενοι συγγενεῖς τὴν ἀσταθῆ διάνοιαν αὐτοῦ θαυμάζοντες προεφέροντο τάδε” “But the Kinsmen reclining at table with him, wondering at his instability of mind, remonstrated as follows:” (3 Maccabees 5:39) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, Combs' attorneys highlighted that Trump, despite facing multiple indictments, was granted bail and allowed to remain free during his legal proceedings. They contended that Combs should receive similar treatment, emphasizing that he poses no flight risk and is committed to addressing the charges against him.Additionally, Combs' lawyers referenced Trump's use of public statements and social media during his legal battles, noting that such communications did not result in revocation of his bail. They argued that Combs' attempts to influence public opinion should not be grounds for denying his bail, asserting that he has a constitutional right to free speech. This comparison aims to underscore perceived inconsistencies in the judicial system's handling of high-profile defendants and to advocate for Combs' release pending trial.(commercial at 7:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy compares himself to Trump in bizarre court filing as he begs judge to grant him bail for Thanksgiving | Daily Mail Online

Today on Truth in Politics and Culture, President Biden switches the spotlight from Tony Hinchcliffe's comments to his own characterization of Trump supporters as garbage. Multiple states have measures on the ballot that, if passed, will expand abortion, many voices continue to try to scare women into voting to expand abortion rights, and President Trump's favorably rating rises as we head into the final stretch before the election.
The only garbage is Trump supporters says Biden, reminiscent of Clinton's basket of deplorable's comment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Alan Kurschner gave three reasons on this interpretation. First, he explained that one cannot merely link words or expressions simply because they are similar. This is the similarity=identify fallacy. Context determines meaning. Then he mentioned that the salvation of Israel happens at the end of the seven-year period, while the context of the arrival of Jesus in the clouds in Matthew 24:30–31 happens before God's wrath, not after God's wrath as pretribs would have us believe. In other words, the burden of proof is on the prettribber to demonstrate that God's wrath has already begun before v. 31. It is Antichrist's great tribulation that occurs before v. 31, not God's wrath. Second, he listed several reasons why the gathering of the elect in Matthew 24:31 refers to the rapture and resurrection. These are outlined in my book Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord. Third, and what he wanted to highlight on today's program, is that the context of events in Matthew 24 line up perfectly with the events in Revelation 6–8: persecution of God's people, celestial disturbances, the deliverance of God's elect, and the day of the Lord. Revelation 7:14 says that the "innumerable multitude" of resurrected believers have "come out of the tribulation." This corresponds with Matthew 24:31. Here is the main point: the book of Revelation unpacks the description of the reference to "elect" describing them as "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages." Thus, the elect in Matthew 24:31 is not referring exclusively to believing Jews, but all believers from all nations of all times who are resurrected and raptured when Jesus returns at this second parousia.

As a test, we attempted to set up an account under the name ‘Jeffrey Epstein'…only to see the name was taken, along with 900+ variations.Many were Jeffrey Epstein fan accounts, including “JeffEpsteinSupporter” which had earned multiple badges for spending time in kid's games. Other Jeff Epstein accounts had the usernames “@igruum_minors” [I groom minors], and “@RavpeTinyK1dsJE” [rape tiny kids].We attempted to set up a Roblox account under the name of another notorious pedophile to see if Roblox had any up-front pedophile screening: Earl Brian Bradley was indicted on 471 charges of molesting, raping and exploiting 103 children. The username was taken, along with multiple variants like earlbrianbradley69.Despite the company's mission “to connect a billion users with optimism and civility”, we found games such as “Beat Up Homeless Outside 7/11 Simulator”, which had 1 million visits and 15,000 favorites before being removed from Roblox.Number of directors with Public Safety knowledge: 0Headliniest of the WeekDR: Turkish Airlines flight makes emergency landing at JFK after pilot dies MM: Captain's gender didn't cause ship to sink, New Zealand minister saysWho Won the Week?DR: Swiss bosses: Swiss workers must clock out for bathroom breaks, court rulesMM: Ozempic!

The Fed is ready to cut the rates in September. The DNC is a complete disaster, ratings are falling and the illusion is now disappearing. The storm is approaching which means the economy is going to crash, the country will be attacked and war is on the horizon. The people will be faced with a major choice.

BIDENOMICS: General Motors Announces Cuts of 1,000 Software Engineers, 600 in Michigan – The Day After UAW President Endorses Commie Kamala at DNC UAW president Shawn Fain endorsed commie Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention on Monday. On Monday night United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago. Fain called Kamala Harris a “fighter” for the working class and denounced Donald Trump as a “scab.” During President Trump's first term, he prioritized bringing manufacturing back to America. And that is exactly what he did. According to a 2019 White House report: President Trump followed through on his pledge to workers across the country that he would bring back American manufacturing – with more than 500,000 new manufacturing jobs created since the election. Manufacturing job growth soared to a more than two decade high in 2018, bringing opportunity to communities that had been left behind. Manufacturer optimism has skyrocketed under President Trump, reaching a new record high last year. Thanks to President Trump's pro-growth policies, manufacturers are deciding to keep their factories running and jobs here in America. Across the country, our Nation's great aluminum and steel mills are roaring back to life thanks to the tariffs put in place by the President. Joe Biden put pressure on manufacturers, destroyed the energy sector in America with job-killing regulations, and pushed his expensive green agenda. Joe Biden's EPA also forced car manufacturers to produce electric vehicles. This was a manufacturing disaster.

The department store operator said Wednesday in a statement that sales in the second quarter through Aug. 3 fell 3.8% to $4.9 billion, missing the Goldman Sachs consensus of $5.10/$5.06 billion.

Last time we spoke about the beginning of Chiang Kai-Sheks war against Sun Chuanfang. Chiang Kai-Shek had just conquered Hunan and Hubei, but this caused Sun Chuanfang to finally act. Chiang Kai-Shek's forces preemptively invaded Jiangxi to thwart Sun Chuanfangs two pronged offensive and any chance of him linking up with Wu Peifu. Sun Chuanfang was caught off guard, but managed to toss brutal counterattacks. However internal disunity amongst the 5 provinces led to a great weakening of Sun Chuanfangs campaign. In October, the NRA counterattacked, retaking territory and pushing Sun's forces back. Sun's position crumbled further due to rebellions in Zhejiang, where local leaders allied with the KMT. Despite setbacks, by November, the NRA's relentless pressure led to the capture of Jiangxi, significantly weakening Sun Chuanfang's hold and advancing the Northern Expedition. Meanwhile other NRA forces devastated Fujian's defenders and shockingly seized the province. #112 The Northern Expedition Part 3: The Zhejiang Campaign Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about the history of Asia? Kings and Generals have an assortment of episodes on history of asia and much more so go give them a look over on Youtube. So please subscribe to Kings and Generals over at Youtube and to continue helping us produce this content please check out www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals. If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. Beginning in November, until the end of 1926, both the NRA and their enemies took a sort of pause to regroup and figure out what was going on. Chiang Kai-Shek had carried out an offensive down the Yangtze and sought the blitzkrieg to carry on, but many within his ranks wanted to slow down and regroup. Meanwhile Sun Chuanfang received more peace offers and chances to join the KMT, but such a thing seemed too far beneath him. With Jiangxi and Fujian lost, Sun Chuanfang instead turned to an unlikely ally. In a very, the enemy of my enemy is my friend-like fashion he turned north to the Fengtian clique warlords. Now obviously, during the later half of the Anti-Fengtian War, Sun Chuanfang kind of held back. He had served the Fengtian a bloody nose and consolidated his 5 provinces, letting the northerners battle it out amongst themselves. Yet they just like he viewed the new southern menace as nothing more than a communist parasite swarming out of Guangdong. In a fit of desperation Sun Chuanfang took a train on November 8th in Nanking bound for Tianjin. Once in Tianjin Sun Chuanfang met with some subordinates of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zongchang. They all reviewed the dire situation that befell Wu Peifu against the NRA in Hunan and Hubei. Sun Chuanfang fully disclosed what had happened to his forces in Jiangxi and Fujian. The northern warlords acknowledged the NRA was not like any other warlord force they had faced before. They were defeating armies much larger and much better armed, it confused them. Even those who had control over strategic railways seemed to be losing to the NRA. The Fengtian warlords had learnt some bitter lessons during their war with Sun Chuanfang and were not going to underestimate a potential enemy again. The Fengtian decided to form a new alliance to destroy the new red menace in the south. Despite the significant grievances between Sun Chuanfang and the Fengtian, particularly with Zhang Zongchang, he agreed to the alliance. Sun Chuanfang really had no choice after losing Jiangxi and Fujian with ill control over Zhejiang. As for Wu Peifu, he really was the unlucky warlord to be first in the crosshairs of the NRA. The commanders at the Tianjin meeting agreed to do what they could to reinforce him over in Honan so that he might be able to mount a counter offensive against Wuhan. They all also agreed, if Wu Peifu refused their alliance and aid, they would be forced to invade Honan to defend the north from the NRA. To reinforce Sun Chuanfang in the southeast, the Fengtian would fit the bill, but bill Sun Chuanfang they also would. In particular Zhang Zongchang was looking enviously at some of Sun Chuanfangs holdings as his province of Shandong was certainly impoverished, all because of his miss rule might I add. Zhang Zongchang had his eye on the gem of Shanghai and its robust black market, where many of his friends resided. Sun Chuanfang offered Zhang Zongchang a guarantee of 500,000$ in silver collected from the good taxpayers of Zhejiang and Anhui in return for reinforcements. On November 24th, while Sun Chuanfangs forces in Fujian were being obliterated by the NRA, major agreements made at Tianjin were bearing results. Zhang Zongchang's Shandong troops were advancing south into Anhui aboard the Tianjing-Pukou railway bound for the Yangtze delta. They were 60,000 men strong, including some of Zhang Zongchang's elite White Russian units manning armorer trains with their specialized artillery. Within just a weeks time they were arriving to the battlefield under a brand new banner “the Ankuochün / National Pacification Army”. Zhang Zuolin came up with the name, the idea behind it was to make it seem like they were fighting a war to achieve peace against the evil red horde. Zhang Zuolin took the authority as commander in chief and appointed Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang as his deputy commanders with their HQ being in the Pukou-Nanking area. Zhang Zuolin proclaimed to the people of China he promised to save China from the red menace. The new National Pacification Army was a whopping 500,000 men strong. Sun Chuanfangs portion of this grand army was of course the weakest link as he had just been battered by the NRA , but the Fengtian had not even had a chance to lift a thumb. Sun Chuanfang was still obsessed with retaining his 5 province empire and that desire would hinder his management of the war. As Shandong troops arrived, they found not a grand welcoming from the local populations. They of course had terrible reputations and were the very people who had molested southeast China during the Zhejiang-Fengtian war. The CCP and NRA would exploit the southeast Chinese peoples hatred towards the northerners. Within Jiangsu and Shanghai, the Shandongers forced the locals to accept the Zhang Zongchang bank notes, literally worthless pieces of paper. The CCP and KMT began propaganda campaigns playing off this situation to tell the people the northerners were going to basically rip them all off. Sun Chuanfang could see exactly the sort of game the CCP and KMT were playing at and increased his persecution of them within his territories. Now although Sun Chuanfang had certainly been weakened, Chiang Kai-Shek was not in good enough of a situation to follow up on his Jiangxi and Fujian victories. Chiang Kai-Shek had moved his HQ to Nanchang and was quite nervous about some looming issues within his ranks. He had already postponed the northern expedition back in July of 1926 when strikes broke out against Hong Kong. In November word spread that strikes were yet again occurring in Guangzhou, particularly at the Guangzhou-Hankou railway. The strikes at the railway were spreading up into Hunan. Over in Guangzhou the Cantonese workers at the Shihching and Mortar arsenals were striking as CCP members were agitating sailors and navy unions to join. The workers were demanding higher wages, clearly trying to take advantage of the fact the NRA were at the frontlines. Chiang Kai-Shek ordered the head of the NRA political department, Teng Yenta to travel from the front lines back over to Guangzhou to see if he could quell the madness. Throughout November a lull occurred, but it broke suddenly in December as strikers armed with pickets began closing up rice shops and banks. Reports came to Chiang Kai-Shek at the front, greatly worrying him about their war material situation. A lot of what they produced came out of Guangzhou and it seemed under threat. On December 8th, Chiang Kai-Shek made a speech, talking about how issues were coming about because of conflict within their First United Front. Following said speech, he appointed the garrison commander, Chien Tachuan to act as Guangzhou's police chief and pacify the city. Chiang met some KMT officials of the Central Political Council at Kuling, ordering them to help restrain labor violence and prohibit strikes in Guangzhou against strategic activities, such as communications, banks, and the supply of food and other “vital necessities. The Guangzhou strike situation then spread to Wuhan as workers began marching for higher wages and better working conditions. Because of this, by late 1926 Wuhan's lucrative arsenal industries outputs were declining. KMT leaders were freaking out over the situation as it looked to them all that another Guangzhou style workers uprising would occur. Word spread that a general strike in Wuhan was being planned on December 3rd, prompting Chiang Kai-Shek to intervene. The workers in general were protesting imperialist employers in the three cities; Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang. They wanted higher pay and better working conditions, pretty standard stuff. Chiang Kai-Shek called together a meeting at Nanchang of various KMT leaders and Borodin. Chiang Kai-Shek proposed regulating the labor movement. Borodin recommended that the CCP corporate in restraining the union problems. Political department members of the KMT proposed disbanding 1000 armed pickets operating in Wuhan, the same way they did at Guangzhou. Hankou had seen some union violence and this deeply worried Chiang Kai-Shek who envisioned foreign marines storming shore from fleets of gunboats along the Yangtze to defend their nationals and property rights. It was eventually agreed some of the protestor leaders would be allowed to join the KMT to help its new government in Wuhan. It seems Chiang Kai-Shek had his hands quite full with internal problems. Now back over the situation of Zhejiang. Despite the rather hilarious failure of Xia Chao's rebellion, if it could even be called such a thing. Sun Chuanfang's troops had taken a firm station in Zhejiang to maintain the peace. While the violence had cooled down, the sentiment of the people of Zhejiang had not. During late October, Sun Chuanfangs troops had swarmed Zhejiang trying to create a regime that would pacify and try to conciliate the provincial feelings. Zhou Fengqi had been transferred back to Zhejiang, mostly because Sun Chuanfang wanted to get him and his division out of the Jiangxi battlefield because he was doing a terrible job. Sun Chuanfang hoped his provincial Lt's would prove better defenders if defending their homeland. He also began a propaganda campaign, spreading word that the Cantonese forces were brutalizing the civilians everywhere they invaded. He said things like the Cantonese sought to break the traditional family system, that they were merely communists in disguise and such. Sun Chuanfang had also brought Chen Yi and his division back to Hangzhou and by October 31st, appointed Zhejiangs new civil governor after Xia Chao's head was cut off. Simultaneously, Sun Chuanfang kept his own personal retainer, Lu Xiangting, the military governor of Zhejiang. Now as Zhou Fengqi was heading back to Zhejiang, he came to Shanghai where he proclaimed to the pople that Sun Chuanfang had placed him in charge of defending the province against the Cantonese invaders. When he arrived to Hangzhou, Zhou Fengqi stated publically he had no sympathies for the KMT revolutionaries. Why he did this was because many rumors had spread that he had deserted in the Jiangxi fight to the KMT, which of course was 100% correct. On November 25th, Zhou Fengqi spoke publically about his dead mentor Xia Chao and stated “I would sacrafice anything for Zhejiang… neither the Northern Army nor the Southern Army were his friends and that any who invaded Chekiang automatically became his enemy ….” Now Sun Chuanfangs surprising move to ally himself to Zhang Zuolin had greatly shocked and scared the southeastern populations, the Fengtian northerners were of course the brutes who had hurt them. Thus Sun Chuanfang had become a double edged sword. He was saved by the Fengtian reinforcements, but his 5 provinces populations also deeply resented this. For those in Zhejiang who sought autonomy, it looked a lot like the KMT was a better option going forward. Chiang Kai-Shek was well aware of the situation and exploited it. The KMT began offering peace agreements not just to Sun Chuanfang, but to independent bodies in Zhejiang, such as the All-Zhejiand Association and even the All-Jiangsu association. KMT members in Zhejiang such as Tsai Yuanpei and C.T Wang. These two guys were responsible for writing the Zhejiang autonomous consitution of 1921. Within the safetey of the Shanghai international settlement they proposed a new federal system within which provinces would be able to handle their own affairs and be represented by a national assembly. In December of 1926 they began negotiating both with Sun Chuanfang over in Nanking and the KMT. Sun Chuanfang could see he was losing Zhejiang because of his alliance with Zhang Zuolin. Thus he made a tremendous gamble, he simply gave Zhejiang its independence. He did so hoping the province would continue to support him against the perceived red menace. He ordered Chen Yi to declare the province independent just before the KMT had planned to release some propaganda procliaming Zhejiang was under tryannical rule by northerners. Chiang Kai-Shek then tried to counter the situation by declaring the NRA would not enter Zhejiang if they roke ties with Sun Chuanfang and no northern troops were within their borders. Sun Chuanfang had already declared the northern reinforcements would defend Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui and of course this would mean tax hikes to pay for their protection. Yet again the Zhejiang revolutionaries assembled in the Shanghai international settlement, planning to create an independent provincial regime. On December 8th, they elected a provincial government committee, notably in a form favored by the KMT. Amongst the nominees were some of those responsible for formented the Ningpo rebellion of 1924. That smaller rebellion had seen some local gentry attempt self rule against the nothern warlords ruling them at Hangzhou. There were a few KMT members such as the ex-Zhejiang governor, Chiang Tsung-Kuei. Chen Yi and Zhou Fengqi were elected to the 9 man committee and the Guangzhou agent Ha Xulun who was working behind the scenes to direct matters against Sun Chuanfang. On the 11th december at Shanghai, Zho Fengqi decalred his defection to the NRA in a true modern day politician like fashion. His declaration of course added fuel to those wishing to break with Sun Chuanfang. He soon set up a new HQ at Quzhou and was promoted to commandr of the 26th NRA army. The KMT then descended upon Chen Yi, trying to bring him into the fold. The provincial assembly chairman and head of the Hangzhou chamber of commerce both proposed forming their autonomous state as part of the KMT and pushed Chen Yi to jump aboard the wagon. Chen Yi traveled to Hangzhou and Nanking trying to see what kind of deal he could land, ever an opportunist. Sun Chuanfang refused to move his troops within Zhejiang at Chiahsing as Zhou Fengqi had just joined the enemy, and now he heard word the NRA vanguard had penetrated the province. On the 17th Chen Yi defected to the NRA making his division the 19th NRA army and received promises from Chiang Kai-Shek he would get a nice cushy position in Zhejiang once the war was over. In the 19th the Shanghai group announced the official independence of Zhejiang from Sun Chuanfangs 5 provincial empire. They were now a autonomous province and would: “1) implement self-government for Zhejiang with provincial personnel; 2) oppose militarists who might seek to carve out their own “autonomous” areas; 3) make public the provincial government affairs; 4) subordinate the Zhejiang military to the Provincial Government; 5) provide for the civil freedoms of assembly, press, organization, and speech; and 6) abolish all unconstitutional taxes.” These terms were delivered to both Sun Chuanfang and Chiang Kai-Shek. Now despite doing all of this, the Zhejiang movement was by no means unified. Many of the gentry and military classes were not onboard because the NRA did not have a strong presence in the province. There was also of course Sun Chuanfang collaborators, the type of men who had received good positions from him. Many also rightfully feared Sun Chuanfangs wrath. Zhou Fengqi turned tail immediately from defending Hangzhou and sought the safer refugee of Quzhou. The NRA at this point were still preoccupied with consolidating their gains in Fujian and Jiangxi thus all they really had for Zhejiang at the moment was a vanguard. In response to the situation Sun Chuanfang assembled his four best divisions along the Zhejiang border. He then formed an agreement with his NPA allies and subordinates in Jiangsu and Anhui to guard his flank as he tossed the kitchen sink into Zhejiang. In a fashion very typical of Sun Chuanfangs military style, he performed a lighting advance. His field commander, Meng Chaoyueh brushed aside Zhejiang divisions from the valleys all the way to the Jiangsu border. The lightning offensive was maintained throughout January of 1927. It seemed to all Sun Chuanfang had succeeded in taking back Zhejiang by force in a quick masterstroke. Within mere days of the offensive, Chen Yi was captured and replaced. Meng Chaoyueh's forces advanced upland, but then ran into the 26th NRA army, reinforced with elements of the NRA vanguard force who had popped out of the Fujian border. Over at Quzhou the NRA dug in, providing something akin to a bridgehead from Fujian into Zhejiang. Another force under Sun Chuanfang advanced against Chen Yi's 19th NRA army eastwards along Hangzhou Bay's southern shore. At the Tsao River Sun Chuanfangs men found the rebels short on ammunition and served them a crushing defeat around Chuchi. From there many scattered through the southwestern hill side until they found their way to Quzhou. Over there the NRA were holding out under intense attacks until mid January. Within Sun Chuanfangs sink were elements of the Fujian troops who had defeated Zhou Yingren. These units went past Quzhou and seized Lanchi and Chinhua on the 10th. General Ho Yingqin in Fujian now faced the daunting choice of jumping into Zhejiang before the bridgehead closed. But the NRA enjoyed greater mobility and this allowed the 1st NRA army to rush over the border hills to aid the besieged Quzhou before Sun Chuanfang had brought over his heavy artillery. On January 20th General Pai Qungxi took command over various NRA units and allied forces in Zhejiang to reorganize a battle plan. By the 29th he launched a counterattack out of the highlands. Using local guides who knew the terrain, the NRA marched through tributary valleys leading into the open plain of Qietang where the provincal capital of Hangzhou was. Now with more equal numbers the NRA engaged the enemy at Lanchi and Chinua fighting a brutal 3 day battle. This action turned the campaign around. Sun Chuanfangs forces lost commanding officers of a brigade, regiment and 3 battalions, alongsides 2000 soldiers. The NRA captured large hauls of firearms, but much mor precious, some heavy artillery. The early northern expedition lacked heavy artillery and these pieces would be put to great use. After the 3 day battle Sun Chuanfangs forces would never regain the highlands. Pai Qungxi then divided his force into two prongs aimed at Hangzhou. When Meng Chaoyueh tried to face the NRA through the main valley, but was out flanked. By February 11th around Tunglu, Meng Chaoyueh's forces were routed down the valley, They fled over to Fuyang where they tried to fortify new defensive lines using artillery, alongside some reinforcements, but utterly failed. The defeated greatly demoralized the northerners to the point Zhou Yingren lost complete control over his Fujian units. The soldiers retreated in a panic, breaking ranks as civilians from Fuyang to Hangzhou packed all they had and fled for Shanghai. Their towns were plundered by the soldiers who sought to grab what they could before running home to north china. The battle of Tunglu saw Sun Chuanfang pull his remaining forces towards Hangzhou. There they could mount a defense and feel more secure that the railway line led back to Shanghai and the north. The NRA forces pincer attacked near Hangzhou catching 8000 retreating soldiers who had been waiting on a ferry to get across the Chientang river. Sun Chuanfang tossed more reinforcements into Zhejiang, but they were no longer cooperating with his field commander Meng Chaoyueh who was already having problems controlling the Fujian units. Thus Meng Chaoyueh chose rather than making a stand at Hangzhou, he took his 20,000 men and retreated into Jiangsu. Another province in Sun Chuanfangs infinity gauntlet was being lost. General Meng Chaoyueh and the civil governor of Zhejiang fled for Shanghai on February 17th of 1927. Even the withdrawal out of Zhejiang was an unmitigated disaster as Meng Chaoyueh could not maintain his men's discipline. After advancing 50 miles to Chiahsing many had mutinied, seeking to sack the city. The civilians begged Meng Chaoyueh to force his men to leave them alone and move on, but he dared not try to halt his unruly men. Yet again this proved to be a crucial factor leading to the NRA's success. Where warlords armies went, they looted and molested the common people, while the KMT had strict policies of paying the local populations for what they needed and not to lift a finger upon the common people. The northern chinese tore down civilian barricades, placed by scared shopowners, ransacked them and carried off anything they could. When the NRA made it to Chiahsing after them, they were met with flags and warm greetings. On February 23rd the NRA had effectively cleaned Zhejiang of Sun Chuanfangs forces and allies, most had pulled back to defensive lines west of Shanghai. Their new defensive line was built around the Hangzhou-Shanghai railway line at Sungchiang. Xia Chao was dead, Chen Yi was captured, leaving Zhou Fengqi the last man standing from the triumvirate. Now he was the MVP Zhejiang leader who Chiang Kai-Shek would play upon to consolidate the province. He was quickly appointed to chairman of Zhejiangs military committee and became an official member of her new governmental committee. General Ho Yingqing assembled his forces opposite the Jiangsu border near Chiahsing, preparing for an offensive aimed at Shanghai. Meanwhile KMT members Tsai Yuanpei and Zhou Fengqi began setting up the new Zhejiang government while the NRA organized their offensive. Chiang Kai-Shek was reluctant to attack Shanghai directly. The super city had an enormous population, including countless foreign communities. The great powers had their largest concessions and investments in Shanghai and none of them were taking a liking to the KMT's anti-foreign propaganda. By February of 1927, there had been a plethora of antiforeign incidents that were making foreigners antsy, even those living cushy lives in Shanghai. A month prior at Hankou and Kiukiang, angry chinese mobs spurred by agitators within the KMT, or as Chiang Kai-Shek would tell it, CCP members had attacked British concessions. The British were only able to thwart bloodshed by handing some authority over the concessions back to the Chinese. Foreign residents in the Yangtze valley were evacuating en masse to Shanghai for protection and this helped circulate horror stories in the foreign community there. It seemed clear to all the foreigners were preparing to defend themselves at Shanghai. It is actually quite reminiscent of the Taiping Rebellion or Boxer Rebellion. As angry mobs of local Chinese approached Shanghai, her foreign residents were banding together to mount and effective defense of the city. All foreign powers with investments in the Yangtze region began pouring what troops they had on hand and recruited volunteers to patrol and defend the city. Command of Shanghai's defenses for the foreign quarters fell to the British commander Duncan who took the Richard Hotel as his HQ. He now coordinated an international force nearly 10,000 strong, consisting mainly of marines and sailors. Duncan had formed an agreement with Sun Chuanfang to help defend a perimeter that expanded outside the foreign concessions. Refers spread around the local population that the British were requesting their government, the US and Japan launch a war against the NRA. Sun Chuanfangs situation got even worse as he had stirred up the foreign community, stating he could not guarantee their safety against the red menace approaching Shanghai. Sun Chuanfang worked alongside the international administrative office to round up and execute any revolutionary agents they could find within Shanghai and her concessions. On the night of January 10th of 1927, inspectors consisting of foreign volunteers who patrolled the streets of the concessions. All suspected revolutionaries were round up and brought to police stations in Sun Chuanfangs areas of control in the Chinese parts of Shanghai. The foreigners also made sure to prohibit any demonstrations or political activities. By late february as the NRA was massing across the border, Sun Chuanfang announced that he, the British and Japanese authorities within Shanghai were cooperating to stop chinese labor unions and workers from performing any mischief. This was followed up by a large round up of suspected revolutionaries. As Chiang Kai-Shek approached Shanghai, he was risking major retaliation from the great powers, who seemed to be aligning with Sun Chuanfang and the NPA. Chiang Kai-Shek risked opening a new front with a great power, perhaps more northern warlords as well. There was no way he could face more opponents and Sun Chuanfang simultaneously. So rather than risk a military confrontation with the Shanghai concessions, Chiang Kai-Shek chose another action. Over at Sungchiang, lying directly in front of Shanghai, the NRA east route army looked like they were preparing a siege against the city. Yet further up the Yangtze the NRA were actually preparing an offensive against Nanking. If Nanking and here ferries linked to the Tianjing-Pukou railway to fall to the NRA, Sun Chuanfang would be isolated south of the Yangtze. To be cut off from his vital railway line that supplied him with men and materials from the north was game over.

If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. Chiang Kai-Shek's NRA just kept surprising the world winning enormous battles against the odds. With basically the rest of China's warlords banded together under the NPA, how could the NRA possibly continue the northern expedition? Would they not be crushed by overwhelming numbers, only time would tell.

It's Friday, July 12th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hindu extremists strangle pastor's son to death In the middle of the night on July 7th, Hindu extremists broke into the home of Pastor Sushil Kumar in India's Bihar State and killed his teenage son as he slept, reports International Christian Concern. Tragically, as Nilesh Kumar slept, the attackers broke his hands and strangled him to death. They then dragged the body of the pastor's only son outside and hung it from a nearby bamboo tree. For years now, the Hindu extremists had been harassing the Kumar family, verbally abusing and pressuring them to abandon their faith in Christ. After Pastor Kumar filed several complaints with the police, members of local high-caste communities threatened to kill his son. Although Christians are often attacked and even killed for their faith in India, such attacks are rare in the Bihar State. According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Biden's latest gaffe: Refers to Zelensky as Putin President Joe Biden drew gasps Thursday evening when he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” — confusing him with the Russian tyrant whose forces have invaded Ukraine for the past two-and-a-half years, reports the New York Post. Listen. BIDEN: “And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President [Vladimir] Putin. “ Many in the auditorium appeared to wince as the words left the president's lips. World leaders onstage appeared unsure of whether to clap to welcome Zelensky or wait for Biden to correct himself, which he did. BIDEN: (Smattering of applause) “President Putin? We're going to beat President Putin. President Zelensky. I'm so focused on beating Putin, we've got to worry about it. Anyway, Mr. President.” ZELENSKY: “I'm better!” Democrat Senator urges Biden to withdraw In light of Biden's obvious mental decline, Colorado Democrat Senator Michael Bennet is one of the first senators to publicly urge the President to withdraw from the 2024 election, reports RealClearPolitics.com. BENNET: “If things stay as they are, it's likely that Donald Trump will win the election and we will lose the Senate and lose the House." Actor George Clooney tells Biden to step aside Actor George Clooney wrote a devastating column in the New York Times yesterday. The headline read, “I love Joe Biden, but we need a new nominee.” He wrote, “It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.” To his shame, George Clooney and Julia Roberts were front and center at a Hollywood fundraiser that raised $30 million to help Biden and the Democrats in their reelection campaign. Australia's Sky News host Liz Storer didn't buy Clooney's claim that he just now realized how mentally unfit for the presidency Joe Biden truly is. STORER: “What a fraud! We're supposed to believe, that, all of a sudden, just over the last three weeks, George Clooney has been like, ‘Wait a minute!' “Where have you been the last four years while this poor, old man has slurred and stumbled his way through the most prestigious and important high office in the world? I don't buy for a second he's just come to his senses and been like, ‘Well actually, three weeks after raising $30 million for the Dems, I have to dis-endorse him now. I just can't go through with it.' “He always knew! They all always knew. The mainstream media, the guy's press secretary, everyone who works for him, his friends and family – they all knew the President has been struggling for a very long time. So, this pretending, ‘I've just had my come-to-Jesus moment.' Great act, George Clooney! That's what you do for a living.” Biden continues to vilify pro-lifers as extremists Military officials under the Biden administration continue to teach that their peaceful political opponents are violent extremists, according to a report about a terrorism presentation given to U.S. Army members at Fort Liberty, North Carolina (previously known as Fort Bragg), reports LifeSiteNews.com. Sam Shoemate, an independent journalist, tweeted on Wednesday evening a photograph of a slide he said was shown during an anti-terrorism briefing, right after one about the Islamist terror group ISIS. The slide names the pro-life groups National Right to Life Committee and Operation Rescue as “terrorist groups,” characterized by their opposition to abortion and the 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade. Oddly enough, the Biden officials spelled the famous Supreme Court case client as R-O-W instead of R-O-E. While the power point slide lists various types of peaceful activism pro-life groups typically practice include sidewalk counseling, Life Chains, and picketing, it also cites “Bombing of Clinics” and “Attempted Murders” which are not only highly rare and have always ben overwhelmingly condemned by mainstream pro-life activists. Truth be told, in recent years, pro-abortion violence has been far more common than violence from those who want to end abortion, as admitted by FBI Director Christopher Wray in November 2022. Arkansas Secretary of State rejects pro-abortion ballot initiative On Wednesday, the Arkansas secretary of state rejected an effort to place a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion on the November ballot, saying organizers failed to submit some required paperwork with its signatures, reports NBC News. Isaiah 64:8 says, “But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we are all the work of Your hand.” ‘God's Not Dead' returns with new sequel urging Christians to vote And finally, with just a $1.5 million budget, the movie “God's Not Dead” made $60 million in profit which sent a clear message to Tinseltown that it had ignored the Christian audience hungry for uplifting and positive messages. A decade later, producers are gearing up for the fifth installment of the film franchise. The new movie entitled “God's Not Dead: In God We Trust,” hits theaters nationwide Sept. 12 and “explores the intersection of faith, politics, and our civic duty,” reports FaithWire.com. RONALD REAGAN: “If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” MOVIE PASTOR: “Now more than ever, Christians must realize that we are being called to deliver hope to a country that's feeling hopeless. Faith begins where your comfort zone ends. We need to step out into that faith.” Coming at a time of cultural chaos — a time when people fear cancellation and other social ills — “God's Not Dead: In God We Trust” tackles the importance of standing up for one's beliefs and taking action to have a positive impact. Proverbs 29:2 states, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn.” Watch the trailer for “God's Not Dead: In God We Trust” through a link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

In his first news conference since his critically panned debate performance two weeks ago, President Joe Biden on Thursday made numerous mistakes while talking for about an hour on a range of policy issues. He answered questions from 10 hand-picked reporters focused mostly on his fitness for office, but included issues such as the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine. "I've been given a list of people to call on here," Biden said when the Q&A portion of his news conference began, later mistakenly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump."Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_03a75b0c-3fb8-11ef-8200-6b92d524c8c4.html

This Day in Legal History: Patent Cooperation Treaty SignedOn June 19, 1970, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) was signed, marking a significant milestone in international intellectual property law. The PCT established a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in multiple countries. Prior to the PCT, inventors needed to file separate patent applications in each country where they sought protection, a costly and time-consuming process.The PCT streamlined this by allowing inventors to file a single international application, which could then be pursued in each contracting state. Managed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the treaty aimed to simplify and reduce the cost of obtaining multinational patent protection.The system introduced by the PCT has two main phases: the international phase and the national phase. During the international phase, the application is reviewed for formal requirements and subjected to an international search and preliminary examination. In the national phase, the application enters the national jurisdictions of the chosen countries for further examination according to local laws.The PCT has been crucial in promoting innovation and technological advancement by providing a more efficient path for securing patent rights internationally. Today, over 150 countries are members of the PCT, reflecting its global acceptance and importance in the realm of intellectual property.Senate Democrats canceled a procedural vote to advance President Biden's nominee, Mustafa Kasubhai, for a federal district court judge in Oregon. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer cited attendance issues as the reason for postponing the cloture vote, which will be rescheduled soon. With a narrow 51-49 majority, Democrats face challenges in confirming controversial nominees. Kasubhai, currently a magistrate judge, would be among the few Muslim Americans to serve as a life-tenured federal judge.His nomination has faced strong GOP opposition, with Republicans questioning his views on diversity, equity, inclusion, and the use of preferred pronouns in his courtroom. They have also scrutinized his past writings, some dating back to his time as a law student, and accused him of holding radical views, including Marxism. The absence of Sen. Robert Menendez, due to his bribery trial, and potential opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin, who demands bipartisan support for nominees, complicate Kasubhai's confirmation prospects.Senate Democrats Pull Vote on Trial Court Nominee Kasubhai (1)A banking industry challenge to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) rule capping credit card late fees at $8 will remain in Texas after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a transfer to Washington, D.C. The case, filed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several banking associations, was initially moved by Judge Mark Pittman, who argued it was better suited for the District of Columbia due to the lack of affected banks in Texas. However, the appellate court halted the transfer, noting the nationwide impact of the CFPB's rule.Judge Don Willett emphasized that the case's broad implications extended beyond Texas, making it inappropriate to consider it a localized issue. The CFPB and the plaintiffs will continue to argue over the venue. This decision comes amidst broader concerns about venue shopping, with industry groups favoring Texas courts perceived as more sympathetic to their challenges against federal regulations. The CFPB's credit card late fee rule, introduced on March 5, aims to reduce so-called junk fees and could significantly impact banks' revenue, potentially costing them $10 billion annually. The banking industry quickly filed a lawsuit to block the rule, reflecting its substantial financial stakes. The Fifth Circuit's ruling highlights the ongoing tension between regulatory efforts and industry pushback.Credit Card Late Fee Suit Kept in Texas Again by 5th Cir. (1)A San Francisco federal judge has sanctioned Apple Inc. in a privacy class action lawsuit by barring certain defenses due to the deletion of audio recordings from its Siri voice assistant. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim of the US District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that Apple failed to halt its data retention policy after the lawsuit was filed, resulting in the destruction of electronically stored information (ESI) central to the case.Apple had argued that the deleted data was irrelevant, but the court disagreed. As a result, Apple is prohibited from making several defenses, including claims that plaintiffs lack standing due to insufficient evidence of false Siri triggers, arguments against class-wide damages based on the number of false recordings, and defenses regarding Apple's intent based on repeated false recordings.The lawsuit, initiated in 2019, accuses Apple of violating wiretap laws by intercepting and misusing private conversations through Siri without users' intentional activation. Plaintiffs alleged that Apple continued deleting relevant recordings years after the litigation began, thus deliberately interfering with the case.Judge Kim indicated that a jury must decide whether Apple's deletion of information was intentional, which could lead to further sanctions. The plaintiffs are represented by Lexington Law Group LLP, Lowey Dannenberg PC, and Scott & Scott LLP, while Apple is represented by DLA Piper LLP and Morrison & Foerster LLP. The case is Lopez v. Apple, Inc.Apple Restricted on Siri Trial Defenses for Deleting RecordingsThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has referred a complaint against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, to the Justice Department over potential violations of children's privacy laws. This action stems from an investigation that found reasons to believe TikTok might be violating the law, prompting the FTC to seek legal proceedings in the public interest. The FTC typically keeps such referrals confidential but made an exception in this case.The complaint follows earlier reports from 2020 that the FTC and the Justice Department were investigating TikTok for allegedly failing to comply with a 2019 agreement to protect children's privacy. TikTok expressed disappointment over the FTC's decision to pursue litigation instead of seeking a settlement, claiming that many of the allegations are outdated or inaccurate.This investigation is separate from ongoing Congressional concerns about the potential misuse of data from TikTok's 170 million U.S. users by the Chinese government, an allegation TikTok denies. Additionally, TikTok is preparing to file a legal brief against a law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets by January 19 or face a ban.The FTC's actions highlight the heightened scrutiny TikTok faces regarding privacy and national security issues in the U.S.Child privacy complaint against TikTok referred to US Justice Dept | Reuters This is a public episode.
