More than 100 killed in Burkina Faso, Africa
This past Saturday, more than 100 people were killed in an attack by Muslim extremists in northern Burkina Faso, Africa, reports International Christian Concern.
The violence took place in the Seytanga district, near the border with Niger. The exact death toll is unknown. Some sources say it could be as high as 165. The group responsible for the attack is still unknown, but is likely the Muslim terrorists from the Islamic State or al-Qaeda who have been conducting attacks in the area.
The Christians of Burkina Faso echo the words of David from Psalm 109:3. “They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.”
Concerns about the rising insecurity in Burkina have led to many protests and the January military coup which replaced President Rock Kabore with Paul-Henri Damiba.
Burkina Faso, Africa is the 32nd most dangerous nation in the world for Christians.
Biden’s tax relief adds up to $24.30 for three months
President Joe Biden recently called on Congress to pass legislation suspending the federal tax on gasoline for July through September, “to give Americans a little extra breathing room.”
But this won’t help much at all.
Cornwall Alliance reports that the average driver drives 1,125 miles per month and the average car gets about 25 miles per gallon. So, the average driver uses about 45 gallons per month. The federal gas tax is 18 cents per gallon. Multiply that by 45 and you get $8.10 saved, or $24.30 for the three months.
If President Biden focused on allowing America to be energy independent once again, that would help drop the price of gas back down in the $3.00/gallon range.
