ANTIFA and the Brownshirts of Germany in the 1930s-Bill Federer Shares the Similarities

ANTIFA and the Brownshirts of Germany in the 1930s-Bill Federer Shares the Similarities

Brownshirts organized Antifa-style protests and street riots, smashing windows, blocking traffic, setting fires, vandalizing, and even beating to death innocent bystanders to spread fear and panic. They implemented boycotts of Jewish businesses, and in the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), they smashed windows of over 7,500 Jewish stores and 200 synagogues.

There are anti-Semetic elements in the anarchist groups that have exploded on the streets of America in the last month. We will have expert contributors on the program detailing what they have eye-witnessed on the streets with the rioting and chaos, and who is behind it.

We are now entering the fourth month of a lockdown on nursing homes across the State of Ohio.

Suffering in Silence Behind Locked Doors - Our Elderly at Ohio's Nursing Homes

We are now entering the fourth month of a lockdown on nursing homes across the State of Ohio. Husbands, wives, children, and loved ones have not been able to go in and visit their family members in Ohio’s nursing homes. Our elderly who deserve visits, care, and the expression of respect from those who love them have been denied this since the order went into effect.

We are receiving numerous reports that these residents in the nursing homes are becoming despondent, confused, and not eating. Their family advocates are not able to properly fulfill their roles in helping to oversee the health care needs of their loved ones in Ohio nursing homes; the order forbids them from entering the facilities to assist with the care of their loved ones or to observe what health care workers may or may not be doing to care for their loved ones. The time has come to act. In this broadcast we address the issue and have a call to action, urging Governor DeWine to announce a visitation plan for family members at Ohio's nursing homes. Tell the Governor what you think at this link.

H.B. 239, the reduce end-of-course assessments bill that is currently in the Primary and Secondary Education Committee in the Ohio House, threatens to kill the requirement of Constitutional studies in the Ohio classroom from grades 8-12.

Anxiety, Depression, Isolation, Addiction Surge During COVID-19

Ohio is seeing a resurgence of opiate addiction and overdoses during the COVID-19 shutdown. People across the State of Ohio are experiencing isolation, anxiety, and depression, and unfortunately, some are turning to drug addiction and alcohol. Ohio made national news, as the Franklin County coroner reported a 50% increase in fatal overdoses from Jan -April 15. In April alone, the Coroner reported that 62 people had died from drug overdoses. This is just one county reporting. The concern is the numbers are just as high in other urban counties. Here to discuss the problem is Rev. Greg Delaney who serves on the Governor's task force for Recovery Ohio. Before COVID-19, Ohio was seeing reduced numbers in opiate addiction and overdoses. Unfortunately, we have had a serious setback. Greg discusses what the challenges are and what we can do to help.

National Day of Prayer Special Broadcast

II Chronicles 7:14 If my people which are called by name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.   On this week's broadcast, we have a special National Day of Prayer featured program. We look back forty years ago at one of the nation's largest evangelical prayer gatherings, Washington for Jesus on April 29, 1980, when over a half-million Christians gathered to fast, pray, and intercede for America. With the coronavirus health care crisis and our country at another crossroads, it is time to look back at what God did at a similar time in our nation's history. It is time for the Christian church to call upon the Name of the Lord to send his help and salvation. Join us as we pray.
