"We the People" "Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story: Iran nuclear talks screech to a halt amid new Russian demands   Iran nuclear talks screech to a halt amid new Russian demands  Russia stunts nuclear talks with Iran and demands sanction relief amid war in Ukraine  Months-long talks with Iran to revive the 2015 nuclear deal hit a snag Friday after Russia demanded sanctions imposed on Moscow for its war in Ukraine be excluded from Tehran dealings.   A source with knowledge of the discussions told Fox News that the Russian delegation upended final-hour negotiations by demanding sanction immunity for any future trade with Iran. President Biden made it a top priority of his administration to reinstate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) after the U.S. abandoned the plan under former President Trump in 2018. JCPOA member nations like the U.K., France, Germany and the EU warned against the move and urged Iran to continue its existing commitments to the deal.  But by 2019 Tehran argued the deal was moot due to crippling sanctions imposed by the U.S. and began redeveloping its nuclear program. JCPOA member nations, including top U.S. adversaries like China and Russia, backed the administration’s push to re-establish the nuclear deal last year.  But nuclear talks with Tehran have proven to be slow, and White House officials have repeatedly warned Iranian counterparts that time is running out to find a solution. Iran has now called on the White House to remove its military branch, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, from the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list – a step that Biden has been unwilling to take, Fox News is told.  (Fox News) Read more.   - Father God in Heaven, we shout HALLELUJAH to this glorious news, for now the plans of Israel's worst enemy are on hold. We thank You, O Lord, for bringing us this miracle, and we continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the demise of all of her enemies. In Jesus name, amen. - "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem . . ." (Psalm 122:6)   Bennett advises Zelensky to surrender to Russia, Zelensky refuses Bennett advises Zelensky to surrender to Russia, Zelensky refuses Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy that he recommends Ukraine take the offer made by Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war - which includes many Ukrainian sacrifices - in a phone call on Tuesday, according to an official in Ukraine's government. According to the official, Zelenksy did not take Bennett's advice. The source claimed that the phone call was initiated by Bennett. "If I were you, I would think about the lives of my people and take the offer," Bennett reportedly said.  Zelenksy's response was short. "I hear you," he said.

Congress gets up close view of 'horrific' Russia-Ukraine war Makes you want 'to break down in tears' A bipartisan group of lawmakers recounted harrowing scenes from the Ukraine border after witnessing the humanitarian crisis of refugees fleeing the war into Poland. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee organized the trip last weekend to see firsthand the aftermath of Russian President Vladimir Putin's all-out war on Ukraine and its civilians.  "It's just horrific," Meeks told Fox News Digital of the scenes at the Poland-Ukraine border. "It made me and a number of others almost want to break down in tears." The members of Congress saw scores of cold women and children crossing to Poland, having to abruptly leave their peaceful lives and their belongings to flee for safety in a neighboring country. They witnessed "heartbreaking" goodbyes at the border where men aged 18-60 had to return to Ukraine to fight for freedom, while their families sought refuge in Poland. As chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Meeks travels the world. He said he was last in Ukraine less than a month ago – just before Russia's invasion. Seeing the peaceful, sovereign country suddenly under assault by Putin's forces moved Meeks to organize the trip along with the top Republican on the committee, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas. "I couldn't sleep at night," Meeks said of images of destruction he saw from the news reports of war. "I decided that I had a responsibility as the chair of this committee to go, and I went to Mr. McCaul and he felt the same way." Other members on the trip to the Ukraine border were Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.; David Cicilline, D-R.I.; Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.; Raul Ruiz, D-Calif.; Susan Wild, D-Pa.; and Gerry Connolly, D-Va. (Fox News) Read more here.   - Lord God, we thank You that the tears of these children reached the hearts of these legislators. We ask that these members of Congress would not "lose the moment," but would instead bring this tender reality back into the Halls of Congress, as policy is set in place to help the people of Ukraine. Thank You, O Lord, for Your marvelous ways among men. In Your Name, amen. " A little child will lead them." (Isaiah 11:6)   In Context: Blinded by a searing hot iron A United States Senator gave a speech on the Senate floor this week in which, except for the specific mentions of the concern and statistics he was citing, he said, “The death of a child is an unspeakable loss. There is no way to calculate it, and if you haven't lived through it, I don't think any of us can understand what some families have lived through. Yet in America, the most powerful Nation on the Earth, in less than [___] years, more than [___] children have been killed by [___], and that number is the reported fatality number. Compounding the grief and loss that these families experience is the fact that these deaths might have been prevented.” (Full original speech text) Those of us who have worked on pro-life advocacy for years could use exactly that language to describe the unspeakable loss of children who have died because of abortion. Politicians across the political spectrum frequently speak about children and the need to protect them, including as recently as this week. This isn't new, which is why almost all news organizations ignored Senator Casey's speech, except for one. Yet, the inconsistency in compassion for children born and unborn persists. There's a reason for this: blindness. To be clear, for those who believe human life only begins with a first breath, the shedding of innocent blood in the womb is not God's idea. He hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16-19), and abortion at any stage by any method sheds innocent blood. The blindness in the Senate became even more vivid when Senator Hirono spoke on the floor the next legislative day to recognize Abortion Provider Appreciation Day and honor as “compassionate, credentialed, and highly trained professionals” those who take hundreds of dollars from young women and their abusers every week in exchange for the violent destruction of their children they carry. While Democrats in Washington control both the legislative and executive Branches of government, thankfully they have not been able to expand Federal abortion funding. Pro-life protections were retained in the large spending bill passed this week and the Violence Against Women Act was reauthorized without problematic provisions they had previously attempted to add. This is something to celebrate and for which to thank God. This is also not the end. We need to pray for our Senators, that their spiritual blindness would be lifted, and that tools the adversary uses to cause that blindness like the searing hot iron of money would be removed. Father, we ask that you would open the eyes of the blind. May they not perish, but may they see your will for the unborn and Your reason for having every one of the Senators in the United States Senate at this time. Raise up a strong defense of the unborn. Turn our Nation away from choosing a path of destruction for itself. May we no longer be content with the status quo, but may we see Your purposes in no longer allowing America to be on the fence or trying to have things both ways on abortion. May You purge this land of this wickedness. “We have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:2) Tim McGhee Pray for Congress, CHPP Legislative Analyst Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests – House • Senate — Prayers — Committee Reports Related Headlines: Congress Passes Sweeping Bipartisan USPS Overhaul — H.R. 3076 Emmett Till Antilynching Act heads to Biden's desk, makes lynching a federal hate crime — H.R. 55 Biden signs stopgap funding bill to avert shutdown — H.J.Res. 75 House passes $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill — H.R. 2471 — includes: 6.7% Full-Year Domestic Spending Increase, $13.6 Billion for Ukraine, VAWA reauthorization; Senate passes; Pro-Life Analysis Senate — Daily Leader Remarks • Actions begun, passed, declined Debate on amendment to stop injection mandates — rejected 49-50 House — Weekly Leader Colloquy • Bills • Actions passed House votes to condemn threats to HBCUs and attack on Texas synagogue — H.Con.Res. 70, H.Res. 881 House passes bill banning Russian oil imports, authorizing sanctions — H.R. 6968, 414-17 Congress Last Week Foreign Policy Ukraine siege leaves lawmakers horrified, unified — and feeling helpless • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Asks Congress For More Jets, Sanctions On Russia • Senators urge Biden to expedite transfer of airpower, air defense systems to Ukraine • Congress gets up close view of 'horrific' Russia-Ukraine war: Makes you want 'to break down in tears' Bill Would Seize Money From Russian Elites, Send It to Ukraine — H.R. 7015 A no-fly zone would give Russia 'opportunity' to attack US, Europe says Ernst Rick Scott on putting US troops in Ukraine: 'I don't think you should ever take it off the table' Jesse Watters calls out Congress members who might have profited from Russia-Ukraine war Biden looks to Venezuela as he faces high prices at the pump • Menendez slams Biden administration over reported oil talks with Venezuela China Higher Education’s Confucius Institute Hangover — Congress should pass legislation that withholds certain types of federal funding for U.S. universities that maintain contractual or formal relationships with these problematic Chinese universities — “U.S. universities do not even have a legal or regulatory obligation to sever ties with Chinese universities supporting China's defense industry. ...
