Hegseth Passes Cloture, Confirmation Vote Expected Friday

Thu, Jan 23, 2025 at 4:14 pm
Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth has passed the final procedural hurdle on his way to an expected final confirmation vote on Friday. A simple 51-49 majority vote was all it took to get Hegseth past cloture and on his way to confirmation by the GOP controlled Senate. A vote is expected late Friday or on Saturday. Allegations of past marital infidelity and alcohol problems were enough to switch moderate Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to the “no” column. Supporters say Hegseth-a decorated war veteran-will help President Trump return the military’s focus to keeping American safe, and away from “woke “ ideology.

India has been creeping up the World Watch List

VERBATIM:  Every year Open Doors US puts out a ranking of the countries where it’s most dangerous to be a Christian and every year India comes in higher and higher.  In 2025 the giant nation just missed the top 10 worst, placing 11th on the list.  This is significant because India is a key ally of the United States, which sees India as a critical counter balance to China.  But that makes it harder for Washington to take New Delhi to task for persecuting Christians.  MH SRN NEWS.
