What Newt’s Reading | December 23, 2020

What Newt’s Reading Two prominent Orthodox rabbis from Georgia are speaking out about their concerns over Rev. Raphael Warnock and past statements he has made about Israelis and Palestinians. -Newt Orthodox Rabbis Condemn Warnock’s Past Israel Comments By Patricia Murphy Atlanta Journal-Constitution Two prominent rabbis in Georgia, Ilan Feldman of Atlanta’s Congregation Beth Jacob and Avigdor Slatus of Congregation Bnai Brith Jacob in Savannah, expressed concerns about comments made by Georgia Democratic US Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock about Israel and the Jewish community. Specifically, Feldman said he was worried about a letter signed by Warnock in 2018 comparing the Israeli military presence in the West Bank to the occupation of Namibia by apartheid South Africa. Warnock’s opponent, incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), has publicly criticized Warnock for his comments on Israel, and Vice President Mike Pence repeated that criticism in a rally for Loeffler. The issue of Israel is important to Jewish and evangelical Christian voters, and Warnock has repeatedly denied holding any animus towards Israel or the Jewish community, claiming that he would support Israel in the US Senate. Leave it to the woke media that mocked and doubted the president even having a vaccine by years' end to now complain about how it should be distributed based on the thoughts of academia. -Newt NY Times Says Order of Who Gets Vaccine Should Be Based on Race By Jeff Dunetz The Lid The New York Times recently published an article whose headline seemed to address an important medical dilemma: whether health care workers or the elderly should receive the COVID-19 vaccine first. Instead of focusing on controlling the spread of the virus or saving lives, however, the Times emphasized race as a deciding factor in determining who should get the vaccine. The Times also quoted ethics experts from the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and UCLA who advocated letting economic groups with more racial diversity receive the vaccine first as a means to attain social equality. Instead of looking at saving lives, some journalists and public health experts are focusing on redistributing lives as a method of restructuring society. That is a disturbing fact to face. Marsha Blackburn exposes how the Chinese Communist Party leverages our big tech companies to hide their atrocities. -Newt How China Uses Internet Trolls to Help Cover Up Its Atrocities By Marsha Blackburn New York Post One of the best aspects of social media is that human rights offenders like China can no longer conceal their atrocities. Last December, the world saw China’s outrageous abuses against pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and Tibet along with the cruelty shown to Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. Nonetheless, we have heard shocking statements from world leaders, corporate executives, and celebrities excusing and condoning the atrocities committed by the Chinese regime, hoping to maintain the inflow of Chinese money. Beijing has also started using strange propaganda that aims to portray criticism directed toward the Chinese government as a product of racism, preying on the West’s susceptibility to “wokeness.” Many decades from now, historians will wonder why China’s campaign of maintaining ideological conformity and behavioral control could continue unabated. We will have our own cowardice to blame. Celebrating the US Space Force's one-year anniversary, the vice president announces that the troops' official name will be “Guardians.” -Newt Space Force Troops Get Their Official Name: 'Guardians' By Ben Wolfgang Washington Times Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines will have a new colleague: the “Guardians.” Vice President Mike Pence announced the new name for the US Space Force at a White House event this week. This new title will apply to the nearly 6,000 members who will join the Space Force by next year. Despite facing opposition initially, the Space Force now enjoys bipartisan support in Washington. Protecting American assets in space, including satellites, will be a top priority for the Space Force, especially given the fact that Russia is developing anti-satellite missiles. Still, Joe Biden is facing pressure from progressive activists to dismantle the new agency, even though doing so may be logistically impossible. A remarkable story of Cardinal George Pell in prison, which he reflected on as a “spiritual retreat.” -Newt Cardinal Pell Says Year in Jail Was a Time of ‘Grace and Gift’ By Christine Rouselle Catholic News Agency Cardinal George Pell reflected on the 404 days he was imprisoned for crimes of which he was eventually acquitted as a time of “spiritual retreat.” Due to his celebrity, Pell was mostly limited to solitary confinement and could not celebrate the Mass for more than 400 days. Despite such adversity, Pell said that he remained content in prison, knowing that God was with him. Pell added that he was given limited access to the gym facilities. Pell also thanked his well-wishers who sent thousands of letters of support while he was in prison, the wardens who were generally friendly with him, and the prison chaplain who did wonderful work. His neighbor in prison, a mass murderer, also shouted out to wish him well on the morning of his appeal.
