Under the Cross of Christ" NY Judge Rejects Trump's Request Trial to Begin Next Week Former President Donald Trump’s civil trial in New York on fraud charges will begin Monday. On Thursday, a ruling rejected without comment Trump’s last effort to delay the start of the trial. The Trump Organization, Trump, and his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are being sued for $250 million in a case launched by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to Axios. “It is hereby ordered that the motions are denied,” the ruling said. Earlier this week, Judge Arthur Engoron, who will preside over the trial, ruled in a separate civil suit that Trump’s companies overvalued their assets for years and that Trump and his companies overvalued assets in documents used to secure loans and commit to deals, per the Associated Press. The New York Post notes that Trump will be appealing the ruling. Trump has also accused James of conducting a “war of intimidation and harassment” against him, according to Axios.

Dianne Feinstein, the progressive Democrat who was the longest serving senator from California, has died at age 90 following a decades-long political career. Two unnamed sources told NBC News on Friday that Feinstein had died. Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint a temporary successor to the now-vacated seat.  Feinstein was present in the Senate on Wednesday and cast a vote at 11:45 a.m. ET, according to the congressional record. However, she missed two votes later in the afternoon.  Feinstein, the longest-serving female senator ever, was first elected to the role in 1992. "Senator Feinstein led a bipartisan group of senators in passing legislation to drastically increase the fuel efficiency of cars. She was a leading voice in the effort to legalize gay marriage and ensure rights for LGBT Americans," a biography on her website reads. Two sources; Christian Post - Read more here. Fox News - Read more here.  - Father God, our prayer tonight is that the passing of Senator Feinstein would serve as a wake up call to all who serve in Congress that, no matter how much power or influence each one may wield, in the end there is another decision to be made in the face of eternity. Let each member weigh this moment before You, and make a decision for Christ. In Your Name we offer this prayer, amen and amen. - "It is appointed to man to die once; then comes the judgment."   (Hebrews 9:27)   Congress Might Be Repealing the "Face Act" in an Effort to Protect Pro-Life Protestors Congressman Chip Roy - 21st District of Texas There is a concerted effort among leftists to silence and intimidate pro-life advocates from peacefully protesting or praying outside of abortion clinics. And, according to U.S. Representative Chip Roy, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act is one tool the Biden administration is weaponizing. That is why Roy has introduced legislation to repeal the FACE Act—to stop the federal government from superseding the individual states’ police powers given to them in the U.S. Constitution. (Source: MyFaithVotes)  -  Let us pray for divine intervention in Congress as this bill progresses through the legislative process. Pray for the protection of pro-life advocates who currently face legal consequences for peacefully protesting or praying outside abortion clinics.
