Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said during a Sunday morning CNN appearance that his party’s caucus cannot support a government shutdown-averting bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which he claimed was “murdering American citizens.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,  in a Saturday statement, vowed his party’s caucus “will not provide the votes” necessary to pass a spending package which includes a DHS funding bill. The declaration came hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Murphy appeared to agree with Schumer, saying on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash” that “Democrats are not going to vote” for the package — that if not passed by its Jan. 30 deadline would launch the country into a partial government shutdown.”

Intentionally or not, the PBS News Hour exhibited a liberal double standard in descriptions in a story by Liz Landers from Minneapolis, where residents are apparently being persecuted under ICE.

A long 13-minute Thursday segment, which was capped with two guests, one from the Trump administration and one from the Obama administration, twice underlined that anti-ICE protester Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, but the November murder of another federal law officer in Washington, D.C. was downgraded to a mere “shooting.”

“The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID — this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” the post said.

I don’t expect much from the Episcopal Church, but it still speaks volumes when a bishop refuses to condemn the invasion of a church service.

Last weekend, a group of agitators invaded Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, taking over the sanctuary, terrifying children, and chanting, “Who shut this down? We shut this down!”

It wasn’t a peaceful protest. It wasn’t a demonstration. It was a horde of vandals entering the sanctuary and coopting it for their political agenda.

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill expressed relief after President Donald Trump announced Monday he would send border czar Tom Homan to handle immigration enforcement in Minnesota after Department of Homeland Security agents shot and killed a second U.S. citizen there.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said in an interview that the move was “a positive step to get the situation under control” while calling for a “full and transparent investigation” into the two Minneapolis shootings.

“There needs to be greater coordination and cooperation between federal, state, and local officials — which is why sanctuary policies need to end and local officials must work with ICE so they can do their jobs without interference,” he said. “It is paramount that we work to keep the public and law enforcement safe, while respecting the rights of everyone involved, including the right to peacefully protest.”

French lawmakers to vote on social media ban for children– www.channelnewsasia.com

PARIS: French lawmakers on Monday (Jan 26) were set to vote on draft legislation to ban social media for under-15s, an effort championed by President Emmanuel Macron as a way to protect children from excessive screen time.

The legislation, which also provides for a ban on mobile phones in high schools, follows Australia banning social media for under-16s in December, a world first.

As social media has grown around the world, so has concern that too much screen time is arresting child development and contributing to declining mental health in minors.

“The emotions of our children and teenagers are not for sale or to be manipulated, either by American platforms or Chinese algorithms,” Macron said in a video broadcast on Saturday.

“Our law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods.”

Today, the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus—Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ), Andy Harris (R-MD), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Kat Cammack (R-FL), and Bob Onder (R-MO)—thanked President Trump for the strong pro-life actions taken by his Administration on the week of the 53rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision:

“President Trump has acted decisively to ensure that hard-earned taxpayer dollars are not used to bankroll the abortion industry domestically or internationally, or to finance the barbaric practice of using the body parts of aborted babies for research. The President has also taken steps to consider better research options than human embryonic stem cells and to protect conscience rights for health care providers and patients. We thank President Trump for his pro-life leadership and look forward to continuing to work with his Administration in the second session of the 119th Congress to provide unborn children, their mothers, and their families with the support and protection they deserve.”
