| Ex-FBI Director James Comey Indicted on Federal Charges |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Former FBI Director James Comey, a key player in the "Russian collusion" hoax, has been indicted on federal charges. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed late Thursday that a federal grand jury has indicted Comey on one charge of obstructing a congressional investigation into the leaking of sensitive or classified information and one charge of lying to Congress while under oath. According to the DOJ, Comey authorized then-deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe to leak information to the press related to manufactured allegations that then-president-elect Donald Trump had benefitted from illegal election interference on the part of Russia. Comey allegedly lied when asked about the event by Congress. |

| How Christians Should Respond When the News Is Depressing |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| There are times when it feels like the media produces such a waterfall of toxic sludge that one would need a hazmat suit to keep informed about current events. There are times when it seems that nearly every story relates to some act of violence or corruption, some words of enmity or folly. There are times when a Christian in America today can feel like Lot in Sodom, "tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard" (2 Peter 2:8). There are times when depressing news tempts us to despair, to tune it out, to withdraw from an evil world - but we must resist that temptation. |
