Is it any coincidence that the financial crises, and the subsequent restrictions, follow the general chaos and upheaval that surround hotspots and conflict zones? The European Union has once again been confronted with a major terror attack, and is coming down harsh on cash, gold and other valuables as a response. Due to its supposed connection to financing terrorism, cash and gold are being closely monitored and seized as it flows into the EU. Meanwhile, economic crisis is driving extremely tight cash control measures in Venezuela, India and other parts of the developing world. In the name of combating illicit financial activities, these countries have banned nearly all of the currency, while placing a very short leash around their already impoverished populations. The United States, too, is under a great deal of economic pressure. Enormous mounts of debt, rising interest […]

“Pastor slammed for Carrie Underwood performance,” reads the online USA Today headline, reporting on reaction from the American Family Association to Passion founder Louie Giglio for allowing Carrie Underwood to appear Jan. 2 at Passion 2017. The column that caused that ruckus, by AFA staffer Wesley Wildmon, can be read here. **[afa](http://www.afa.net/)** <a href=”https://polldaddy.com/poll/9631325″>Foot soldier asks if Giglio's sounding the retreat</a> Underwood failed to make many headlines for surprising Passion with her hit song “Something in the Water,” but if you’re the secular media, this makes a great recipe for a story: start with a successful country singer and professed Christian, toss in the hot-button issue of homosexual marriage, then add reaction from that right-wing “hate group” from Mississippi, the AFA. Voila! You’ve created a delicious recipe sure to create Internet clicks and set the Facebook posts on fire. A couple

### Stop the Genocide. Protect Christians. ISIS (the Islamic State) is waging genocide against Christians. It is barbarically slaughtering thousands. More than a million Christians have been driven from their homes in the wake of the most inhuman atrocities imaginable. It’s sickening: Christians abducted, beheaded, burned alive, and crucified. We successfully pressured the Obama Administration to recognize this “genocide against Christians.” Now we have an obligation to act under the Genocide convention. We’re launching a brand new multi-pronged legal advocacy campaign, urging the U.S., U.N., and world leaders to adopt our critical policy proposals: 1) stop the genocide and 2) protect Christians. We’re mobilizing our global offices in the most expansive campaign for the persecuted Church we’ve ever undertaken, preparing numerous legal memoranda, advocacy letters, and policy proposals to Congress, President Obama, the U.N., and genocide agencies. Christians die daily

WASHINGTON (January 9, 2017) — He won’t be president anymore, but Barack Obama will take one last flight on the presidential plane next week before handing it over to Donald Trump. Outgoing presidents traditionally are allowed one final flight on the famed blue-and-white aircraft. President George W. Bush used it to fly to Midland, Texas, with his wife and family just after Obama was inaugurated. The Obamas plan to continue living in Washington in a rented home after leaving the White House. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the Obamas will still leave Washington by plane shortly after Trump’s inaugural ceremony.

A public policy analyst isn’t surprised that Democrats in California have offered a job to Eric Holder. The Democratic leaders of the California Legislature recently announced they have hired President Barack Obama’s former attorney general to represent them in any legal fights against the new Republican administration — likely a sign that the liberal, Democratic-dominated state intends to oppose Trump’s vision of change for America. Abraham Hamilton III, public policy analyst for the American Family Association, says the Democrats in California would certainly have an advantage in the courts. “As it currently sits, the benches across the country, the federal judiciary, are stacked with secular progressives,” he explains. “So if it comes down to legal fights with the current makeup of the federal judiciary, especially the state of California being in the Ninth Circuit, it would seem to favor their

[](http://138.68.227.9/c1hhdl0viaqmzl8/) [](http://138.68.227.9/c0oj44uukaapzjq/) After six  year some on the right are now critiquing Congress’ effort for a full repeal. Their arguments do more to confuse the issue than to present a viable path forward for eliminating the harmful effects of this law. Congressional Republicans appear set to finally repeal Obamacare using reconciliation, a process that allows them to overcome a Democratic filibuster in the Senate and pass budget-related legislation with a simple majority of the chamber’s members. The repeal bill would include a transition period to give Congress time to debate how best to replace Obamacare with a series of patient-centered reforms, each of which would address specific problems in the health care system. But critics of this approach derisively dub it “repeal and delay” and assert that it is based on a fatally flawed strategy that inevitably presents the GOP

‘There Are No Jobs’: Obama Loyalists Scramble To Find Work Thousands of Obama loyalists are struggling to find work in a city now dominated by the GOP, according to a report from Politico. “It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs,” Mira Patel, a longtime Clinton aide told Politico. Democratic operatives and Obama staffers no longer have the more than 4,000 presidential appointed jobs to transition to after President-elect Trump takes office. Politico describes how a generation of young operatives from the Hillary Clinton campaign and failed down-ballot races are still managing their “shock and grief” from Clinton’s loss. Thousands of Obama loyalists are struggling to find work in a city now dominated by the GOP, according to a report from Politico. “It feels like there are just thousands

Christian News Christian leaders who have issued warnings about William P. Young’s bestselling novel “The Shack,” which portrays God as a woman and espouses universalistic beliefs, state that if the scheduled national film release is faithful to the text of the book, its distribution could “far outweigh” the harm already done to souls through the printed page. “If the film is a faithful portrayal of the events and the theology of the book, then every Christian should be gravely alarmed at the further advance of beliefs that smear the evangelical understanding of the truth of the Bible,” James B. DeYoung, author of “Burning Down the Shack: How the ‘Christian’ Bestseller is Deceiving Millions” and an acquaintance of Young, told Christian News Network. As previously reported, “The Shack,” released in 2007, is stated to have sold approximately 20 million copies and has
