A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un walked across the border Friday to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in for the first inter-Korean summit in more than 11 years.

The leaders met at 9:30 a.m. local time at the Military Demarcation Line, which divides the two Koreas within the Panmunjom border village.

This marks the first time a North Korean leader crossed the MDL since the 1950-53 Korean War, and the first time a summit is held on the southern side of the border. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court gave President Trump’s travel limits a far more favorable hearing Wednesday than it has received in most lower courts, with conservative-leaning justices actively rebutting charges that the latest version of the president’s policy is the “Muslim ban” that critics contend.

The case marks the first of Mr. Trump’s major policies to squarely reach the justices, and analysts said their ruling will set the tone for how much deference courts give the unorthodox president for the rest of his tenure.

Immigrant rights activists, congressional Democrats and much of the rest of the anti-Trump resistance had been looking to the justices to block Mr. Trump. With Congress controlled by Republicans, they said, it is up to courts to constrain the president. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Emergency food aid for around a million Palestinians in Gaza may run out from June if the UN agency for Palestinian refugees cannot raise another $200 million following a cut-off in US funding, the agency said on Tuesday.

Pierre Kraehenbuehl, who heads the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) providing aid for Palestinians across the Middle East, said US President Donald Trump had withheld $305 million in funding, far more than the $65 million reported in January.

Gulf states, Norway, Turkey and Canada have stepped in with a total of $200 million to help meet a $446 million budget deficit for 2018. UNRWA’s planned budget is over a billion dollars for 2018. [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Senate Republicans on Wednesday advanced a resolution that would shorten debate time on most presidential nominees, after complaints that Democrats have been using the arcane Senate debate rules to stall Trump administration nominees.

By a party-line, 10-9 vote, the Senate Rules and Administration Committee approved a resolution from Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., that would slash post-cloture debate for most executive branch nominees from 30 hours to just 8 hours.

The resolution mimics a 2013 bipartisan agreement to shorten debate time, which passed with 78 votes. But unlike the 2013 measure that was only in effect that year, the Lankford resolution would change the debate time permanently. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Christians around the world will observe for an International Day of Prayer and Fasting for North Korea as uncertainty and political tension shroud the region.

The fast will take place on April 28th, and will mark the first day of North Korea Freedom Week, which aims to raise awareness of human rights abuses in the hermit kingdom.

“This regime is a personification of evil.” Suzanne Scholte, chairman of the North Korea Freedom Coalition told CBN News. “Kim Jong Un has set himself up as a God. He’s taken the tenets of the Christian faith and the regime has perverted that to worship him as a deity.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
