Wed, Jan 1, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Although 2024 didn’t rate very high in most Americans’ estimation, a new poll suggests that a majority expect much better in 2025. Details on this from reporter Bernie Bennett.

VERBATIM: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just five percent (5%) of American Adults rate 2024 one of the best years ever. Eleven percent (11%) think it was an excellent year and 20% rate 2024 a good year. However, 34% of Americans give 2024 a poor rating. The 36% who rate 2024 at least a good year is slightly up from last year, when 34% said the same about 2023.

The latest numbers on persecution of Christians are disturbing

VERBATIM:  Open Doors US has produced its annual report and it concludes that more than 380 million believers suffer high levels of persecution for their faith and tens-of-millions more see their religious freedom restricted in lesser ways.  That means one in seven Christians around the globe is persecuted, including one in five in Africa and two in five in Asia.  Muslim radicals are the primary culprits, though India has a problem with radical Hindus and Communism is a problem elsewhere.  MH SRN NEWS.
