It's Monday, May 22nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese church attacked On May 13, six gunmen attacked the Al-Masalma Coptic Church in Omdurman, Sudan, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. They came to the church in a car and shot four men, including a priest named Arsenius, and his son. They also stabbed the church guard before looting the building for two hours. Thankfully, all five victims, who received treatment at a private hospital, have since recovered. However, they were unable to access the largest hospital in the area as it is currently under the control of the Rapid Support Forces. The Sudanese Armed Forces had cut off the electricity. Matthew 5:10 says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” FBI retaliated against three whistleblowers Last Thursday, three FBI whistleblowers testified before Congress that the FBI unjustly investigated Americans and pressured staff to "reclassify cases as domestic violent extremism, and even manufactured such cases where they may not otherwise exist," reports The Blaze. The three on-the-record FBI whistleblowers accused the agency of "retaliatory conduct" after they spoke out about the bureau's "abuse and misconduct" and "politicized rot." Suspended FBI Special Agent Garret O'Boyle along with former Special Agent Stephen Friend and suspended Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill spoke before the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing. According to O'Boyle, after he came forward with the allegations, the FBI retaliated against him by relocating him to an office on the other side of the country. O'Boyle claimed that when he arrived for his first day of work at the new field office, he was informed by the FBI that he was being placed on unpaid suspension. The whistleblower stated that the agency effectively left him and his family "homeless" and prevented him from accessing their belongings, which were still in FBI storage because of the recent relocation. North Dakota Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong asked O'Boyle what advice he would give to future government whistleblowers. Listen. ARMSTRONG: "With all of the hardships you've gone through, if one of your really good friends, your former colleague, came to you and said, 'I have this thing that is being covered up and I think the American people need to know about it,' what advice would you give them?" O'BOYLE: "I would tell them first to pray about it, long and hard. I would tell them I could take it to Congress for them, or I could put them in touch with Congress. But I would advise them not to do it." ARMSTRONG: "You would legitimately try to protect one of your colleagues from doing what you have done?” O'BOYLE: "Absolutely!" ARMSTRONG: "And how do you think that solves being able to shine light on corruption, weaponization, any kind of misconduct that exists with the American people?" O'BOYLE: "It doesn't solve it. But the FBI will crush you. This government will crush you and your family if you try to expose the truth about things they are doing that are wrong. We are all examples of that." ARMSTRONG: "I can't think of a more sobering way to end a hearing. I yield back." Pastor Tim Keller died of pancreatic cancer Last Friday, Pastor Tim Keller died of pancreatic cancer, reports The Christian Post. The founding pastor of the 5,000-member Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and the author of The Prodigal God and The Reason for God, he was 72 years old.  According to the New York Times, Keller was open to Christians aligning with various political parties -- liberal or conservative. In his words, “thoughtful Christians, all trying to obey God's call, could reasonably appear at different places on the political spectrum, with loyalties to different political strategies.” Just prior to the reversal of Roe v. Wade last year, Keller wrote on the politics of abortion. He said, “I know abortion is a sin, but the Bible doesn't tell me the best political policy to decrease or end abortion in this country, nor which political or legal policies are most effective to that end,” reports The Christian Post. And on evolution, in his book The Reason for God on pages 97 and 98, Keller taught that “God guided some kind of process of natural selection.”   World watches in disbelief and horror as U.S. nears possible default The finance ministers for the Group of 7 nations in Japan had one simple question for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen: What is going on with the U.S. debt ceiling? Around the world, experts have been watching in disbelief as the U.S. flirts with its first default, fearful of the potential international economic ramifications — and astonished by the global superpower's brush with self-sabotage, reports the Washington Post. Rich and poor nations alike fear a possible U.S. default, which would torpedo the financial markets and deal a massive blow to the dollar. Analysts say the impasse jeopardizes America's standing abroad. All the worry will dissipate — at least for a while — if Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) can come to an agreement before June 1. More than half of the world's foreign currency reserves are held in U.S. dollars. Many nations look to Treasury bonds to safeguard their own economies and guard against drowning in debt. One White House reporter was understandably concerned. REPORTER: “Right now, the nation's debt exceeds 100% of its GDP. This has happened twice in US history -- once during World War Two and once now over the last couple of years. How is it not a crisis when the country literally owes more than it's worth?” White House Press Secretary: The kids “belong to all of us” And finally, in the course of defending the surgical and chemical “gender transitioning” of children, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declared that the children of America “belong to all of us,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Upset with the number of states that are outlawing puberty blockers and mutilating surgeries on minors, Jean-Pierre, a self-professed lesbian, spoke candidly to a far-left feminist website named Jezebel, no doubt in honor of the evil Queen Jezebel of the Old Testament. JEAN-PIERRE: “I've met a lot of parents of trans kids in the past couple of months who have told me these devastating stories, whether they're in Texas or Oklahoma or wherever they are, saying how they now have to seriously consider leaving their state to protect their child. That's something that we have to call out and continue to be very clear about. “These are kids. These are our kids! They belong to all of us!” The remarks echo similar sentiments expressed recently by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and various other Democrats. Together, they have disrespect for the parents' right to have the primary and final say over their minor children. 1 Timothy 3:4 describes one of the key virtues of a man worthy of being an elder. “He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.” Biblically speaking, minors are under the proper guidance of their parents, not the state.  And those parents should not sign off on puberty blockers or disfiguring surgeries.

February 21, 2023   COVID-19 fascism was the worst tyranny in American history, and those responsible must be held accountable so nothing like it ever happens again. COVID-19 was used to launch the worst tyranny in American history, which we're still facing even now. It was also the worst oppression in global history since the Third Reich. Just as that evil required a reckoning at Nuremberg, this one does as well. In this Nuremberg 2.0, we call witnesses that our elected representatives and law enforcement agents need to hear from in order to know the full extent of the evil, and who is responsible for it—so that this never happens again.   Steve reads the opening argument of his new book, "Rise of the Fourth Reich."

Sudan conflict: ‘damaging neighbouring economies'

The month-long conflict in Sudan in East Africa is damaging the economies of its neighbours. The United Nations has made a record-breaking appeal for $3 billion worth of support for Sudan. But with thousands fleeing their homes for neighbouring countries, the critical port of Port Sudan virtually out of action, and fears for the security of major oil pipelines that cross the country - the conflict threatens a major regional crisis. The issue of remote versus home-working is once again in the headlines after Twitter and Tesla boss Elon Musk said working from home is ‘morally wrong' – because it was unfair on those who could not work remotely. More companies are beginning to insist on their employees attending the office more often – with the New York-based asset management company Black Rock the latest to insist that workers go into the office at least four days a week. We look at whether home-working days are numbered… And - a small bakery in France is the proud of owner of a very special accolade - bakers of the best baguette in Paris. Of the 176 baguettes shortlisted for the prestigious prize, it was baguette number 142 from the bakery Au Levain des Pyrenees that proved a cut above the rest.

A National Divorce? The Case For and Against. ReasonTV. Dave Smith and Reason's Zach Weissmueller discuss the libertarian case for and against breaking up the United States. Full text and links: https://reason.com/video/2022/07/25/s... ---- Is it time for blue states and red states to stop fighting over their differences and just get a divorce? Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.), along with many on the political right, says it's time to seriously consider breaking the country apart. The Libertarian Party (L.P.) has also been promoting this idea on Twitter since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. "Pro-lifers, why share a country with those who support the dismemberment of babies in the womb?," the L.P. tweeted in June. "Pro-choicers, why share a country with those who would take a woman's right to abort away? #NationalDivorce." The politics of abortion are thorny and contentious even among libertarians, but what about when it comes to the more straightforward libertarian positions on free speech, guns, and private property? Is trampling on individual rights more legitimate when a state or city government does it? Why would it be acceptable at the local but not the federal level to relinquish our liberties to the tyranny of the majority? Also, the kind of national divorce between red and blue America that partisans like Greene are calling for doesn't accurately capture the rich political diversity of a country designed from the founding to contain multitudes. When I tweeted that talk of a "national divorce" implies "there are only two sides, that you must choose one," and that the discussion is mostly about "tribal rage," I got a lot of pushback, including in the form of this map, showing America divided into its thousands of counties, suggesting that we can Balkanize into a limitless number of political tribes. "I love how [discussing a national divorce] gets people thinking about something that seems almost off limits," says comedian, podcast host, and possible L.P. presidential candidate Dave Smith. I talked with Smith about the possibility of a national divorce after we exchanged words on Twitter about it. You can see a fuller discussion between us in the video above. He says the topic is a political litmus test. "I think the question becomes how bad do you really think this current situation is?" says Smith. "Is it an inconvenience? Or is this something that is really dangerous? And I think the situation of us being a union right now is very dangerous." The increasing centralization of political power in America is indeed concerning and dangerous. But is rooting for the breakup of the U.S. at this moment in time really all that libertarian?

Sudan's month-long conflict has been a story of broken ceasefires, constant clashes, mass displacement and an exodus of refugees. Now, a conflict that started in the capital has spread across the country. At the center of this conflict is a bitter rivalry between two generals. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the leader of the country's military, and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Sudan is Africa's third largest country, it shares a border with seven other countries in an already volatile region. The longer the conflict drags on, the greater the risk that it could erupt into a civil war - and the greater the danger that the conflict could spill over into surrounding countries.NPR's Asma Khalid speaks with Africa correspondent Emanuel Akinwotu, Middle East correspondent Aya Batrawy, and Michele Kelemen who covers the U.S. State Department.

At least 13 Palestinians, including three commanders of the militant group Islamic Jihad, have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip. Israel said it had launched an operation targeting militants who posed an imminent threat to its citizens. Islamic Jihad has vowed revenge and Gaza-based militants are expected to respond with rocket fire into Israel. What does this escalation mean for the Islamic Jihad group and for Israel? Also in the programme: Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan is arrested amid chaotic scenes; a Saudi diplomat tells us about the Sudan ceasefire talks being hosted in Jeddah, and London's police force expresses "regret" over the arrest of anti-monarchy protestors ahead of the coronation.
