Politician’s Firebomb Frenzy
This is NewsChat: your source for the Truth in today’s news. Today is Monday, February 24, 2025 and I’m your host Jack Norton from JackAndKitty.com.
A Pennsylvania state rep’s office turned into a crime scene when an unknown man lobbed Molotov cocktails at Representative Alec Ryncavage’s Nanticoke building late Wednesday night. The arson attempt on February 19, 2025, risked nearby businesses and homes, but no one was hurt—now police are racing to catch the suspect. Surveillance photos are out, and tips are pouring in.
Jesus teaches us to love our enemies in Matthew 5:44, even amid such reckless hate. This attack stirs a call to pray for justice, protection, and a change of heart for the perpetrator. God’s peace can prevail, even in chaos.
Knife-Wielding Wife
A Texas Valentine’s Day went haywire when Rita Tate, 57, allegedly attacked her husband with a kitchen knife over a disappointing necklace gift in Waco on February 14, 2025. Furious after expecting a bracelet, she waited armed and ready, leading to her arrest for aggravated assault after police reviewed video evidence. She’s since been released from McLennan County Jail.
Friends, scripture calls us to control anger, as Proverbs 16:32 praises patience over might. This violent outburst over a gift reveals how unchecked emotions can wound relationships God intends for love. Christians should pray for healing and peace in this couple’s home.

Alabama Dog’s Miracle Comeback
An Alabama shelter worker, Cheyenne Campbell, got the shock of her life on February 7, 2025, when her dog Emma—missing for five months—showed up at her workplace, Second Chance Shelter in Boaz. A stranger had cared for the pup before dropping her off, leading to a tearful, tail-wagging reunion that’s warming hearts statewide.
Psalm 37:4 says God gives us the desires of our heart, and this sweet reunion shows His hand in life’s surprises. It’s a beautiful picture of restoration, encouraging trust in divine timing. Christians can rejoice in this glimpse of God’s care.
