"This $1.9 trillion bill is the same size of the bill we passed last April, right in the middle of the pandemic," McConnell told host Martha MacCallum. "This is not the same country we had one year ago. Only 9% of this $1.9 trillion is related to health care, and less than 1% of this $1.9T bill is related to vaccines." McConnell added that money from previous aid bills still has not been spent and noted that "vaccines are going out, the economies are opening up," making it hard to justify the size of the bill.

The U.S. House of Representatives this week passed H.R. 5 which mandates universal acceptance of sexual immorality and specifically excludes any exceptions on the basis of religious freedom.
Section 9 specifically states, “The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.) shall not provide a claim concerning, or a defense to a claim under, a covered title, or provide a basis for challenging the application or enforcement of a covered title.”

Recent events on Capitol Hill have made one thing very clear: it is time to repent for the many sins over the ages that have been committed on that site, asking for God's merciful hand of forgiveness and for cleansing to visit and to renew the spirit that abides on the Hill.
