Jonathan Roumie did not hold back when he said he’s on a “mission” from God as he talked about playing Jesus Christ on the hit series “The Chosen.” During an interview with CBN News‚ the 49-year-old actor opened up about the life-changing role ahead of the release of the upcoming Season Four of the series — which explores the life of Jesus through those who were closest to him. “There’s — for me‚ there’s a sense of mission at what I’m doing and it happens to be in the form of entertainment‚” Roumie told the host. “And that’s the gift that I was equipped with by God‚ I believe.” ‘The Chosen’ season 4 ‘most intense‚ mature and challenging’ yet‚ says Jonathan Roumie https://t.co/gD8QAua0rA — The Christian Post (@ChristianPost) January 23‚ 2024 “So‚ I’m just kind of following where he’s leading me‚” he added. “And my entire life and career has led me to this point.” Speaking to the Christian Post‚ Roumie also reflected on the new season‚ calling it “by far‚ the most intense and mature and challenging season” yet‚ as the series heads towards the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. “Not just for me‚ but I think for everybody on the cast and crew‚” Roumie said. “But I think what we created is going to be pretty beautiful.” “I just had to really put it all to prayer and inform as much of my own humanity as was scripted in the page and hope that that kind of gets in the ballpark of what Jesus may have felt during these moments‚” he added. “The Chosen” star said he hopes the upcoming season allows viewers a chance to look at their own faith and resilience in the face of adversity‚ something Jesus’ disciples will be faced with in the series.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) delivered a sports analogy during a recent Fox Business appearance‚ where he was asked to give his thoughts on the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Kennedy compared the Biden administration’s border policy to the game plan of a football program‚ noting that if any football team were to deliver such a dismal record‚ the people deemed responsible for the failure would have long since been fired. WATCH: It’s time for America to wake up and smell the incompetence: The border is wide open. I read somewhere that if the White House were a football team and performed like this‚ we would’ve already fired the coach‚ the athletic director‚ and the mascot. pic.twitter.com/RuzBK603gT — John Kennedy (@SenJohnKennedy) January 24‚ 2024 “It’s time for America to wake up and smell the incompetence‚” Kennedy began. “I mean‚ the border is wide open‚ and as I’ve said before‚ that’s man-made — and the man’s name is Joe Biden.” “And if the White House — how can I put this? If the White House were a football team and performed like this‚ we would have already fired the coach‚ the athletic director‚ and the mascot‚” Kennedy continued. “Americans want better and it keeps getting worse.” The situation at the border has come to a head in recent days as President Joe Biden’s administration has taken dramatic steps to prevent Texas authorities — under the direction of Republican Governor Greg Abbott — from enforcing federal immigration laws themselves. The Supreme Court handed Biden a win earlier this week‚ telling U.S. Border Patrol agents that they can cut down razor wire barriers put in place by the Texas National Guard — but Abbott has pushed back‚ declaring that Texas has the right to protect its own border if the federal government refuses to do so.

UPDATE – 25 Republican governors issue a joint statement in support of Texas in its border dispute with the federal government‚ Vermont's governor was the lone exception. pic.twitter.com/ObXWfbyBHd — NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) January 25‚ 2024 “We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor‚ Greg Abbott‚ and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy‚ including razor wire fences‚ to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally‚” a statement signed by the 25 read.

A House Republican said this week he is introducing legislation to stop the federal government from removing barriers constructed by the states to prevent illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) announced the Restricting Administration Zealots from Obliging Raiders (RAZOR) Act on Wednesday after a Supreme Court decision allowed the Biden administration to temporarily dismantle razor wire installed by Texas while a legal fight brought by the state continues to play out. “Today‚ I’m introducing the RAZOR Act. This bill would ban the federal government from removing Texas or any other state’s border barriers. If the Supreme Court won’t allow states to defend their sovereignty and our nation‚ Congress has a moral imperative to act‚” Collins said in a post to X. “President Biden is aiding and abetting illegal aliens who are swarming our border and raiding our country’s resources‚” Collins added in a statement. “Why else would he try to stop the state of Texas from turning them back to Mexico? With the Supreme Court siding with the America Last policies of the Biden administration‚ Congress must stand with Governor Greg Abbott as he fights for the sovereignty of his state and our nation.” Since announcing the RAZOR Act‚ Collins has posted to X a number of times thanking various GOP colleagues for co-sponsoring the legislation. While Texas Governor Greg Abbott is being encouraged by some in the GOP to ignore the Supreme Court decision‚ which came in response to a Biden administration plea for intervention over an appellate ruling in favor of Texas as the Department of Justice argued the barriers impede U.S. Border Patrol agents from helping or apprehending migrants crossing the Rio Grande River‚ there are House Democrats calling on Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP There also seems to be a bipartisan appetite in Congress for changing the status quo‚ even if there is disagreement on how to address the border crisis amid a surge in crossings and blue cities around the country getting overwhelmed with migrants. Fourteen House Democrats recently broke ranks and joined with most Republicans in voting to denounce the Biden administration’s “open-borders policies” last week. And bipartisan Senate talks on a border deal are ongoing. Biden’s secretary of the Homeland Security Department‚ Alejandro Mayorkas‚ is assisting in the Senate immigration negotiations while he faces impeachment proceedings at the committee level over his handling of the border crisis.
