Standing By Israel With Laurie Cardoza Moore
Israel is fighting the war against HAMAS in Gaza. Many in the international community, including the U.S. State Department, are calling for Israel to stand down. Israel is determined to eradicate those HAMAS terrorists who committed the atrocities on October 7th, the day that modern Israel suffered its worst attack.. Pro-HAMAS protests have begun to turn the head of Democratic leadership in Washington as the Presidential race heats up. Laurie Cardoza Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, insists this is no time to abandon Israel, our chief ally in the Middle East. It is essential that America holds firm in its support for the Jewish state. 
Call to action:  Call your Congressmen and urge them to stand with the Israel and the Jewish people.

White House disrespects Christians and Easter-Declares Transgender Day
Christian leaders and political leaders rebuke the Biden Administration for its disregard of Christianity's holiest day on the calendar. Easter Sunday is the celebration of Christ's resurrection in the Christian church worldwide. From our beginning as a nation, Presidents have acknowledged the Christian calendar and offered proclamations of peace and blessing. The Biden Administration broke from this tradition and instead announced a "Transgender Day of Visibility." Leaders from across the Christian community decried the White House's disregard for the Christian holiday.  Pastor Al Davis and I discuss this news event and how Christians should respond. 

AG Yost discusses nitrogen hypoxia as a remedy to carry out Ohio's death penalty.
Attorney General Dave Yost joined Representatives Brian Stewart and Phil Plummer in a recent press conference announcing legislation that would include nitrogen hypoxia as a method to carry out Ohio's death penalty. In recent years, Ohio, along with other states who have a death penalty for certain capital crime, i.e. murder, has been stymied by the drug industry that will not provide the state with the drugs to be used in lethal injection. In February, Alabama carried out a successful execution using nitrogen hypoxia. The Attorney General of Alabama declared it a success and stated that he would be available for other states' attorneys to contact his office for details.
