Vice President JD Vance rebukes European leaders for squelching freedom of speech and conscience. Mr Vance is meeting today with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks that many observers, particularly in Europe, hope will shed at least some light on President Trump’s initiatives to settle the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Trump appeals to Supreme Court over whistleblower head firing

Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 12:00 pm
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow the firing of a whistleblower agency chief. Last week, a federal judge blocked President Trump’s removal of the head of the Office of Special Counsel. It’s an independent agency that protects government whistleblowers. In response, the Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court to intervene. The case could offer a preview of how the high court will view the president’s aggressive moves to remake the federal government, including by removing heads of independent agencies.

Senate Poised To Open “Votorama” On Budget Megabill

Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 3:51 pm
The Senate this week may embark on an ambitious “votorama” to pass it’s version of a budget resolution to enact parts of President Trump’s agenda. The voting could begin Tuesday night on the GOP budget plan that earmarks $175 BILLION dollars for the border, and  $150 Billion for Defense. It’s part of the Senate plan to use the reconciliation process to pass two separate major spending bills this year. The House has similar goals but is working to include all GOP priorities in one major bill. Once voting starts in the Senate it’s expected to turn into an hours long“votorama” as Democrats-who cannot stop the bill with a filibuster-will debate it’s contents and propose a long list of amendments.

Trump Transgender Policies Challenged in Court

Sat, Feb 8, 2025 at 4:11 am

Two Trump administration executive orders targeting the rights of transgender and nonbinary people are facing fresh court challenges. Reporter Bernie Bennett has more.

VERBATIM: Three Democratic states sued Friday over the order to ban federal funding for gender-affirming care for transgender people under 19. It’s at least the second challenge to the policy that was put forth late last month.
Trump signed an executive order last month directing federally run insurance programs, including Medicaid and TRICARE for military families, to exclude coverage for such care. It also calls on the Department of Justice to pursue litigation and legislation to oppose it.
Trump also signed an executive order on Wednesday intended to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

Christians are being made homeless in Sub-Saharan Africa

Christians are being made homeless in Sub-Saharan Africa

VERBATIM:  Persecution in the region is on the rise — as has been widely reported for years.  But displacement is a lesser known story.  According to Open Doors US, more than 16 million Christians have been driven out of their homes in Sub-Saharan Africa by violent attacks and civil wars.  A family suddenly put out of their home can only hope to find a refugee camp and in many countries those aren’t available either.  Displacement also means the loss of employment.  MH SRN NEWS.
