The Daily Brief: Legislative Snapshot Saturday, June 10th, 2023 "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  Elise Stefanik: Donald Trump Indicted Same Day ‘Treasonous’ Biden Doc Released to Congress  House Republican Conference Chair Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said in a statement Thursday that President Biden weaponized the Justice Department against former President Trump, amid news the GOP front-runner had been indicted on the same day it was revealed Biden allegedly received a payoff for influencing U.S.-Ukraine policy. “The exact same day that the FBI is forced to turn over to Congress absolutely damning and credible allegations regarding Joe Biden’s illegal, egregious, and treasonous corruption, Joe Biden weaponizes his Department of Justice to indict Donald Trump,” Stefanik said. “The American people are smart and understand this is the epitome of the illegal and unprecedented weaponization of the federal government against Joe Biden’s leading opponent, President Donald J. Trump,” she added. “In 2024, we will vote like this country has never seen before and we will elect President Trump back to the White House to save America.”   On Thursday afternoon, House Oversight Committee Republicans told reporters after reviewing a FBI’s informant file that an FBI informant claimed to possess two pieces of evidence that show Joe Biden received $5 million after threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine until a prosecutor probing the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings was fired. “There’s no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden is guilty of bribery 100 percent,” Rep. Anna Luna (R-FL) told reporters after viewing the document. “There was two separate transactions, one that went to Joe Biden for $5,000,000, one that went to Hunter Biden for $5 million.” (Breitbart) Read more here.   Abba, things in our country seem to be going from bad to worse.  There are accusations and an indictment against President Trump for documents he retained in his home after leaving the White House.  At the exact same time, those on the House Oversight Committee are saying the document the FBI finally allowed them to see concerning bribes taken by then-Vice President Biden show proof that he was paid $5 Million dollars as a payoff for influencing US-Ukraine policy.   Father God, the last months have been heartbreaking and terrifying at the same time.  There has been so much information brought into the light exposing a group of people in the highest offices of this government and outside our government, whose intentions are to control what the American people are allowed to read, to hear, to think.  Their need for control would appear to have no boundaries of what is right and wrong, only what is expedient.  People's greed has allowed them to become something that is evil.  Many of those who should be trustworthy have proven to not always be so. Father God, where the light does not shine forth, darkness takes over.  In so many ways we are where we are because we did not "occupy until I come", which is what you told us to do. We ask for your mercy, and we ask You to forgive us. We ask you to restore to us the freedom you intended us to have. We ask you to move in holy power to rout the enemy, in all his disguises, from every place he has set up strongholds in our nation.  We ask this in Your name El Shaddai, Lord God Almighty, amen. - "Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” (2 Chronicles 20:12)  Top Story #2: China strikes secret deal to build spy base 100 miles from Florida China has struck a secret deal to open a spy base in Cuba that can snoop on US military bases, causing alarm at the White House. The agreement would allow Beijing to build an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island, which lies just 100 miles from Florida, US officials told The Wall Street Journal. The spy base would give Chinese intelligence services the chance to gather electronic communications throughout the south-eastern US, where many military bases are located. It would also allow Beijing to monitor US ship traffic. A base with advanced military and intelligence capabilities could pose an unprecedented threat at a time of strained relations between the world’s two superpowers. (DNYUZ.com) Read more here. - Lord God, we thank You that this scheme has been exposed, and we ask that our government would take measures to block China's use of these eavesdropping devices to be used against us. Amen. - "Nothing is too difficult for thee!" (Matthew 19:26)  Top Story #3: Good News - Weekend Wrap-Up By Gary Bauer  Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed legislation protecting young children in elementary schools from inappropriate indoctrination on issues involving sexual orientation and gender identity. The legislation also prevents schools from hiding a child’s “gender transition” and bans the use of “preferred pronouns” without parental consent. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed legislation protecting children from mutilating transgender surgeries.  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation protecting children from mutilating transgender surgeries.  A Vermont school will pay $125,000 to a middle school soccer coach and his daughter who were punished for speaking out against the school’s transgender policies. Planned Parenthood announced major layoffs as a result of new state pro-life laws. Target’s stock is plummeting and “Pride” merchandise is being massively marked down as the American people aren’t buying what the woke left is selling, and in more ways than one. (Here and here.)   American Values PO Box 1223 Merrifield, VA 22116-1223 Phone: 703-671-9700   Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests: M 6/5 (PDF) • T 6/6 (PDF) • W 6/7 (PDF) • Th 6/8 (PDF) • F 6/9 (PDF) — Committee Reports Senate Digest — Tuesday, 6/6/2023 • Floor Log Digest — Wednesday, 6/7/2023 • Floor Log Schumer withdraws long-awaited judicial nomination vote over attendance issues Digest — Thursday, 6/8/2023 • Floor Log 54-42, Senate confirmed the nomination of Dilawar Syed, of California, to be Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration.
