Will the U.S. become Venezuela?

From a Christian Aid Ministries newsletter: ". . . a street artisan weaves a beautiful handbag out of 800 pieces of large denomination banknotes. The money is worthless. Welcome to Venezuela."
 
And I wonder. Will we be next as Biden's totalitarianism makes our money worthless? Hugo Chavez introduced socialism gradually to Venezuela until he'd destroyed a once prosperous country rich in petroleum assets. It didn't take but a few years. Watch out.

Buying Venezuelan oil while Biden kills our own industry won't save Venezuela from its own leaders' bad socialist choices and it certainly won't help Americans. A Potential U.S. Oil Deal with Venezuela Faces Hurdles (investopedia.com)  Biden enriches and enables bad governments elsewhere, while poking American citizens in the eye and lying to them.

Pray for the nation's protection

"Morning Brief: Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview aired on Feb. 4 that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will use artificial intelligence to comb through troves of personal data on U.S. citizens recovered from Chinese technology and apps and use the intelligence as a weapon to strong-arm the United States.

Let's pray against this attack on our information because Jesus is not only our savior but our protector. " Darlene in her morning prayer request via e-mail.

Obama lied to us about Iran

"The Obama administration: 
(1) told Congress it would not allow Iran access to U.S. financial institutions; 
(2) issued a special license allowing Iran to do exactly that; 
(3) unsuccessfully pressured U.S. banks to help Iran; 
(4) lied to Congress and the American people about what it had done;
 (5) admitted in internal emails that these efforts "exceeded" U.S. obligations under the nuclear deal;
 (6) sent officials, including bank regulators, around the world to urge foreign financial institutions to do business with Iran; and 
(7) promised that they would get nothing more than a slap on the wrist for violating U.S. sanctions.

How bad is this? Remove the words "Obama" and "Iran" and replace them with "Trump" and "Russia" and imagine the outrage that would ensue over the same revelations. Democrats would be holding news conferences, and the story would be front-page news."
