The Daily Brief: Legislative Snapshot Saturday, January 27, 2024 "For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations." (Psalm 22:28) "We the People" "Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story  Red State Alliance Grows: More Governors Stand with Texas in Standoff Against Biden Regime Over Escalating Border Crisis In a significant escalation of tensions over the U.S.-Mexico border policies, several Republican governors are uniting in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s challenge against the Biden regime. This move comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision allowing the removal of razor wire installed by Texas at the border. Governor Abbott deployed approximately 30 miles of razor wire near Eagle Pass, Texas, as a barrier against illegal immigration. However, this move was challenged in court, leading to a complex legal battle. Despite setbacks in lower courts, the state’s efforts were momentarily buoyed by a decision from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which was overturned by the Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote. Conservative justices Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett (Trump appointee) sided with the liberals and granted the Biden Regime’s emergency request. This is the 9th time that the Supreme Court has sided with the Biden regime out of 14 emergency applications. Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, Texas officials, including Governor Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, have expressed their intent to continue measures to reinforce the border. Texas National Guard members began installing more razor wire in Eagle Pass. “The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America,” Attorney General Paxton said. “The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe. This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty,” he added. Governor Abbott, in a fiery statement, lambasted Joe Biden for failing to enforce immigration laws and thereby violating his oath of office. He then declared an “invasion” under Article I, § 10, Clause 3, asserting Texas’s right to self-defense. In total, 14 states—Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming—have stepped up to support Texas’ efforts and deployed personnel and resources to secure the border in President Biden’s absence.” (The Gateway Pundit) Read more.  - Lord God, we thank You for the many states that are willing to stand beside Texas in this matter.  We plead the blood of Jesus over them and Governor Abbot and call for the Biden Administration to cease and desist their lawless threats and plans against a sovereign state, in Jesus name. We pray for a speedy and Godly resolution to this horrific border issue, implemented by Joe Biden, as one of his first acts of power, and we ask You Father, to bring all things under Your perfect order.  We pray for the funding and camps to be dried up and we particularly ask You to hover over the deceived people, especially children and women, so that they are no longer trafficked across the border by the cartels and other bad actors, in Jesus name. We pray Psalm 91 over the National Guard and all who are working to stop the flood of humanity. We thank You Abba, for Your divine intervention of angelic warriors and righteousness in this matter and we bind every power of darkness, in Jesus name.  Let the victory belong to our King! "Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the - wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.  And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, 'Do not be afraid of them.  Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.'"  (Nehemiah 4:13-14) Biden’s Alien Invasion and Don’t Mess With Texas > > > By Gary Bauer; American Values  Biden’s Alien Invasion Ten top former FBI officials have sent an extraordinary letter to congressional leaders. They warned that America is currently facing “one of the most pernicious” threats to our national security they have ever witnessed. They point to the thousands of military-aged men from enemy nations who are invading our country by foot every day walking across the southern border. Here’s a brief excerpt from their letter: “It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi-division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown.” We have repeatedly raised this concern over the years, and it is obvious to most Americans who now describe the situation at the southern border as an “invasion.” But Joe Biden is doing everything he can to make this invasion easier. We know a record number of illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list have been stopped at the border. We know Iran’s main terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, has major operations in Latin America. Add to that thousands of Chinese, Russians and other illegal aliens from the Middle East. We should assume our enemies are exploiting Biden’s intentional failure to secure our borders. Don’t Mess With Texas The showdown at the southern border is continuing as I write. President Biden wants the border open. Governor Greg Abbott isn’t backing down from his efforts to protect the people of Texas. Twenty-five governors are standing with Abbott and the state of Texas. All Americans must understand (and help others to understand) the extraordinary moment this is. Many of our Border Patrol agents, like Texas state police officers and Texas National Guardsmen, are Texans. Every day, these men are on the same side, doing as much as they can to protect the country – a job Joe Biden refuses to do and tries to stop them from doing. If Biden orders the federal Border Patrol to physically move the Texas National Guard out of the way, what’s going to happen? Nobody knows. But what we do know is that Joe Biden and the political left are the reason we are facing this situation.

We’ll save the best for last. So don’t fall asleep.” Palvanov referred to lectures he gave two years ago during the pandemic in which he suggested that the world was in the pre-messiah period.  “When I actually went back to look at it, it was pretty amazing that what we suggested three years ago has pretty much come true, quite exactly year by year,” Palvanov said. He referred to a famous prophecy that appears in several places in the Talmud and Midrash about the final seven years before the Moshiach (Messiah) comes. And we made a suggestion then that we are within this seven year time period.” Palvanov then began to teach from the Talmud (Sanhedrin 97a): “The Sages taught with regard to the seven-year period, [i.e., the Sabbatical cycle] during which the Messiah, son of David, comes: During the first year, this verse will be fulfilled: “And I will cause it to rain upon one city and cause it not to rain upon another city” (Amos 4:7). During the second year of that period, arrows of famine will be shot. During the third year, there will be a great famine, and men, women, children, the pious, and men of action will die, and the Torah is forgotten by those who study it. During the fourth year, there will be plenty but not great plenty. During the fifth year, there will be great plenty and they will eat, drink, and rejoice, and the Torah will return to those who study it. During the sixth year, heavenly voices will be heard. During the Sabbatical Year, wars, [e.g., the war of Gog and Magog], will be waged involving the Jewish people. During the year after the conclusion of the Sabbatical Year, the son of David will come.” Read More  Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests: M 1/22 (PDF) • T 1/23 (PDF) • W 1/24 (PDF) • Th 1/25 (PDF) • F 1/26 (PDF) Senate — Votes — Legislation: New: 56 (D, R), Action: 6, Passed: 5 — News M 1/22/2024, Log — Record PDF • Summary T 1/23/2024, Log — Record PDF • Summary Senate confirms Chris Koos to Amtrak board W 1/24/2024, Log — Record PDF • Summary Federal judges confirmed for South Carolina and Indiana Th 1/25/2024, Log — Record PDF • Summary F 1/26/2024 — Record PDF • Summary House — Legislation: New: 46 (R, D) — News M 1/22/2024 — Record PDF, Extensions PDF • Activity Th 1/25/2024 — Record PDF, Extensions PDF • Activity Congress Last Week Foreign Policy — Committees: Senate, House McConnell on the Palestinian Authority: I cannot understand why some of my Democratic colleagues, including the chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, who pushed so hard to pass legislation combating global corruption, now want to shovel billions of taxpayer dollars to one of the most corrupt entities on the entire planet.
