House Grapples with Anti-Semitism (Part One)

The Daily Jot

Friday, March 8, 2019

House passes anti-hate bill, WHAT?

Led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) the Democrat-led House of Representatives passed an anti-hate resolution (407-23) ostensibly in response to Islamic Marxist representative Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) remarks against Jews and Israel. Originally about anti-Semitism, the Marxist Democrats couldn't help adding in more division and class warfare by including Muslims, Latinos, Asian-Americans, homosexuals, lesbians, bi-sexuals, and transgenders as people who cannot be hated. Let's see, who did they miss? Oh, yes, it's Ok to hate Christians and white men. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he was "shocked" that the bill "refused to similarly condemn discrimination against Caucasian Americans and Christians."

All but 23 Republicans voted for the resolution. Who can blame them? They don't need campaign commercials by their socialist opponents claiming that they supported hate. But hate it is. For the Marxists to leave out Caucasians and Christians signals that it's fine to direct hate toward these people. But in another twist, what started as a rebuke against Islamist Omar's bigoted remarks against Israel and Jews somehow turned into a resolution condemning all sorts of anti-Muslim bigotry. The resolution "acknowledges the harm suffered by Muslims and others from the harassment, discrimination, and violence that result from anti-Muslim bigotry; condemns anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against all minorities as contrary to the values of the United States."
The "Whereas" section of the resolution looks like a rap sheet of crimes in America against all sorts of people. One of them states, "Whereas Muslims and people perceived to be Muslim are subjected to false and dangerous stereotypes and myths including unfair allegations that they sympathize with individuals who engage in violence or terror or support the oppression of women, Jews and other vulnerable communities." What? Have they read the Quran? Have these people heard what Omar and her Islamist colleagues have said, and who they are associating with? Yet they are passing over the bigotry that their own Marxist Democrats have done or, even worse, are doing. This is nothing short of demagoguery.

If the Marxists in Congress wanted to sincerely stand against hate, all they really had to do was encourage people to "do unto others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6:31)." Or "love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31)." These words suffice as rules of life, values to cherish, good citizenship. They don't divide. They don't create class or racial struggle. They don't create hate while condemning it. But NO. These Marxists in Congress couldn't do something so kind and simple because those are the words of Christ-the followers of whom it's OK to hate. It's as Titus 1:16 says, "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Passing an anti-hate bill that protects the haters-what?

Have a blessed and powerful day,

House Grapples with Anti-Semitism (Part Two)

House Grapples with Anti-Semitism

After days of Democratic hand-wringing, House votes to condemn
hate speech

Editor's note:

This week, we want to pay special attention to the "anti-hate" resolution that Congress passed late Thursday night, as it does just the opposite. As the Daily Jot so aptly points out, this measure not only cancels anti-semitic rhetoric, it also protects Islamists from any speech that would reveal the truth of their own agenda.

This bill is a disaster. Below please find links to several articles of interest in this matter, and join us in the following decrees:
- (for the advancement of anti-semitism in America)
"This are and no further, and here will your proud waves stop." (Job 38:11)

- (for the ones who are defending anti-semitism in our nation)
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

- (for the sudden "wave" of evil bills now being introduced in this new Congress)
"When the enemy rushes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard before him." (Isaiah 59:19)

- (for those who are playing "hide and seek" with the critical issue of anti-semitism in America; saying one thing one day and the opposite thing the next)
"But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes ' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil."
(Matthew 5:37)

Petition to have Ilahn Omar REMOVED from Congress

PJTN (Proclaiming Justice to the Nations) Circulates Petition to Have
Ilahn Omar REMOVED from Congress

Urgent message from PJTN Founder Laurie Cardoza-Moore
Today I am emphatically calling on all PJTN "Watchmen" and all concerned Americans to join "The Million Signature March", a national petition to demand the immediate resignation of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. You can access this petition online by going here.

[Note: this link is active. Please allow time for this petition to appear on your screen.]
Time is urgent! When news broke last week of her shameful anti-Semitic messaging, President Trump called for her to resign from her Congressional seat. Even her own Democrat colleagues echoed Speaker Nancy Pelosi's tepid call for Omar to apologize.
Fast forward to today:

Where is the follow-up outrage to demand her resignation?

Where is the investigative reporting to demand answers to why an unrepentant anti-Semite and supporter of America's enemies has been given a seat on the Foreign Relations Committee?

AND Where is Omar today . . . Laughing in the face of her detractors-including President Trump-and still privy to the classified information in the Foreign Relations Committee.

The media has buried the story and moved on, hoping we will follow their lead! We cannot be silent in the face of an elected official who poses a threat to our very national security!
Ilhan Omar must learn that concerned Americans such as you and me stand firmly with our Jewish brethren. We must stand in solidarity to affirm that she will not be allowed to use the heart of American democracy and freedom to defame God's chosen people and God's chosen land.
. . . Rep. Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic messaging has also brought to light her ties to several Muslim Brotherhood front groups. We are now calling on the Justice Department to launch a full and thorough investigation into this matter of national security.
WE must take action today! Go online-sign the petition and share the petition link and my video message within your family, friends and social media contacts. Our goal of one million signatures is within our reach. Let your voice be heard and sign the petition today!
Stand Fast,

Laurie
> > > Editor's Note:

This is not the first time that we have featured this petition on our Daily Briefs. We are doing so again today because the need to sign this document is now urgent, and we want to be sure that each one of you sees this petition. Let's all support PJTN in this vital effort. Thank you.

Operation Restoration

Operation Restoration

Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .

"Operation Restoration"

This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!

"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.

It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.

Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:

605-468-8850
Access Code: 221654#

Each week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land." Amen.

Released by the National Prayer Embassy

Washington, D.C.

Recently U.S. President Trump met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a special summit held in Hanoi, Vietnam. The purpose of this summit was to follow up on a June 2018 summit between the same leaders, with the goal of preventing future nuclear bomb and missile tests by the North Koreans, and eventual nuclear disarmament by North Korea. All in exchange for an end to war games by the U.S. and South Korean military and eventual removal of U.S. troops from South Korea. Other issues include economic aid to North Korea, eventual reunification with the South, release of political and religious prisoners in North Korea and a formal end to the Korean War of 1953, including full accounting of all prisoners of war and missing in action. At his speech at the United Nations in September 2017 President Trump emphasized U.S. resolve to dismantle North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Let's pray about all of this today:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus we thank You for helping all world leaders to respond appropriately to North Korea. We agree with the decades-long prayer of the South Korean church for the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula under the banner of Jesus Christ, as soon as possible. We plead the blood of Jesus over North Korea to bring healing to that nation and give them God's peace and truth. We declare that Jesus is Lord over North Korea to bring healing to that nation and give them God's peace and truth. We declare that Jesus is Lord over North Korea, that God's will alone is done there, and Satan's will is totally stopped in North Korea in Jesus' name, Amen! "
