Wickedness, Unhinged Madness… and Signs in the Heavens?

Volcanoes and earthquakes: On Hawaii’s Big Island, over 4,000 small earthquakes have struck the area in the last week. However, for the seventh time in eight days, an explosion at the Kilauea summit erupted Thursday with a force equivalent to a magnitude 5.3 or higher quake. Lava continues to flow to the ocean; it has created new land at the ocean entry that has expanded to about 405 acres. See video.

A new supervolcano is brewing under Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. “The upwelling we detected is like a hot-air balloon, and we infer that something is rising up through the deeper part of our planet under New England,” says Rutgers University geophysicist Professor Vadim Levin.

In Indonesia, several eruptions occurred at the Mount Agung volcano in Bali over a period of two days, causing flight cancellations. Authorities urged residents living close to the volcano as well as tourists to respect the exclusion zone.

A powerful 6.0 earthquake struck in the ocean off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. No damage was reported.

Extreme weather: In the US, 60 million people across the nation’s midsection are currently under a heat watch, warning or advisory as the worst heat wave of 2018 arrives. Over 120 million people will see temperatures rise above 95 degrees during the next week.

In parts of the UK, they’re fighting record-breaking temperatures.

Snow fell on Tuesday in parts of Newfoundland. One citizen commented, “I’ve never seen it this late in June…and this much.”

Persecution of Christians and Jews: In Nigeria, about 200 Christians were slaughtered last weekend in a 60-hour killing spree in 50 communities. The majority killed were women, children and the aged.

In India, five women were working for a Christian missionary group, performing a play aimed at raising awareness for human trafficking (a major problem in India) when they were abducted and gang-raped by men who filmed their crime. Christians, including many women, have been subjected to horrific assaults in rural locations in India due to their faith.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sent the case involving a Christian florist who declined to participate in a same-sex wedding back to lower courts in Washington State to reconsider in light of the Supreme Court’s recent Masterpiece Cakeshop decision. This is keeping hope alive for the Christian grandmother who might face a million dollars in legal fees.

The Presbyterian Church USA general assembly voted to condemn Israel and urged ReMax to stop handling property sales in Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria.

The New York Times, already known for liberal-leaning reporting, is the worst outlet in the world when it comes to covering Israel. Ira Stoll in the Algemeiner stated, “It’s literally worse than Al Jazeera.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America party, won New York’s 14th congressional district this week. Her Party supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign (BDS) against Israel. Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, commented, “This is the Left, and the Democrat Party today: the facts just don’t matter. The only thing that matters is the narrative that reinforces their preconceptions.”

In liberal Illinois (called the US’ most failed state), a year after ejecting marchers who waved Jewish flags, the Chicago Dyke March (LGBT pride parade) prominently featured “Palestinian” flags.

Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau refuses to stand up against persecution of Christians and other minorities around the world.  MP Garnett Genuis said this: “I asked the Prime Minister to acknowledge the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and to recognize that Christians were victims of genocide at the hands of Daesh/ISIS. The Prime Minister did not answer the question at all, and would not even use the word ‘Christian’ in his response.”

In Canada, Christian and Jewish prayers are not allowed in the newly Sharia-compliant Toronto City Hall, yet a Muslim imam was allowed to proclaim “Allah is better than all other gods” in its council chambers where an Islamic religious ceremony celebrating the end of the Ramadan fast was hosted.

In Spain, over 50 cities and regions have passed motions condemning Israel.

Pestilence: An outbreak of “sea lice” has been reported on Florida’s beaches. The lice leave the skin itchy, bumpy, and red after a quick dip in the ocean. 

According to the latest Center for Disease report, cases of vector-borne diseases caused by viruses and bacteria carried by ticks, mosquitoes and other bugs tripled in the US from 2004–2016. Of 1,600+ overnight camps that are members of the American Camp Association, over one third are in New England and mid-Atlantic states where Lyme disease is particularly prevalent. Also, mosquitoes trapped in Ohio and Washington have tested positive for West Nile Virus.

An outbreak of polio has been confirmed in Papua New Guinea, 18 years after the country was declared free of the disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the virus was detected in a six-year-old boy in April. The same strain of the virus has now been detected in other healthy children in the same community, making it officially an outbreak.

The occult: Sales of tarot cards have risen sharply in the last year as self-proclaimed witches claim divination and dark-magic are effective in opposing President Trump. Tarot is making a comeback in other forms as well, such as fashion. Rabbi Daniel Asore noted that this is one of the most egregious forms of evil. “Diviners and witches both try to take God out of heaven, out of the world, and replace him with ‘self.’ They assign the power to nature… This has ancient roots… it is exactly the same as the idol worship we read about in the Bible.”

Depravity: Jarrod Ramos killed five people and wounded two others using a shotgun and smoke or flash-bang grenades at the newsroom of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md. He had filed a lawsuit over the coverage by one of its publications of a criminal harassment charge against him. The left immediately laid the blame on President Trump. Not having a gun would not have stopped this madman. It’s too bad the news crew didn’t have a gun. In his 19 years of practicing law, Brennan McCarthy said he never came across any person who frightened him as much as Ramos.

“I was extremely scared that he was going to do something to me and my family.” He became a target of Ramos’ rage after representing a woman in 2011 who accused Ramos of stalking her and threatening her online. Ramos stalked her for years relentlessly, causing her to leave Maryland in fear.

19-year-old Belgian youth, Jean-Francois tried to protect a waitress from a North African Muslim migrant’s (Ahmed S.) harassment and ended up stabbed to death and his throat slit.

Joel Davis, co-founder of Youth to End Sexual Violence and former UN youth ambassador for Sexual Violence in Conflict has been arrested. In text exchanges with FBI agents posing as pedophiles, he arranged to meet the 9-year-old daughter of one of the undercover agents and the 2-year-old daughter of the agent’s girlfriend. During questioning he admitted to sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy and keeping child porn images. Davis possessed and distributed utterly explicit images of infants and toddlers being sexually abused by adults.

In Calgary, Canada, Dr. Fred Janke, 62, is facing charges of making arrangements to commit sexual offenses against a child, making child pornography, and distribution of child pornography.

Netflix is under investigation for streaming a film that includes a graphic sexualized scene with two children. Netflix already shows cartoons for children featuring Drag Queen kids and tots as superheroes.

The drag queen-for-children agenda has already infiltrated left-wing enclaves and children’s TV programs.  Now it’s making a move into small town USA with a drag queen story hour for children at the public library in Beloit, Wisconsin.

Principals in the Chicago Public Schools have been ordered to undergo more training on how they administrate sex-education classes after a lawsuit against a principal at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School who planned to bring in a sex columnist/sex dancer to teach students in the school’s sex education program.

Starbucks announced it will fully fund employees’ gender transitions: everything from reassignment surgery to hair transplants and other cosmetic procedures.

In Britain, a Jewish school for girls does not go along with the sex ed agenda and removes references to sex in textbooks. One of the textbooks was picked up by the secular campaigning organization Humanists UK, who then complained. So state inspectors marched into the school and interrogated the female students about sex. Parents were furious.

In Florida, the group of teenagers who videotaped and mocked a drowning man in Florida without helping him won’t be charged with a crime – because no such law exists.

In the first such trial of its kind inside the Vatican, Monsignor Carlo Alberto Capella was sentenced to five years in the Vatican prison for possessing and distributing child pornography. US Police found 40 to 55 child porn photos and films on his phone and internet accounts including explicit video involving a small child, which Capella accessed even after being recalled from the US by the Vatican. The Vatican refused to let the US prosecute him, or Canada where he’d also committed this crime.

Excerpt from Vatican’s Double Standard on Child Abuse: “While continuing to exclude from the seminary men with “deep-seated homosexual tendencies,” the new (Vatican) guidelines now allow in seminaries men with the “transitory problem” of “homosexual tendencies.”

Tens of thousands of mainly young people flooded the streets of Paris for the annual Gay Pride parade on Saturday.

Nation against nation: In the US, the liberal left is becoming increasing unhinged. Taylor Cox, a writer for NBC, Amazon and Cartoon Network, says “the only anxiety I have about white extinction is that it’s not happening faster.” By the way, Taylor Cox is white.

We’ve all heard about Sarah Sanders (and her family) being evicted from the Red Hen Restaurant located at 666 (yes, you heard that right) Lexington Way in Virginia for being Republican and a Trump supporter. But that wasn’t enough for Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner, who followed them to a restaurant across the street where she organized a protest.

Maxine Waters leads the pack in the insane calling for attacks on Republicans, but she’s not the only one. Leftists are tweeting that Republicans need to stay out of restaurants and “pack a lunch” because of what employees will put in your food. And it won’t just be spit. Listen to what they’re saying here.

On Monday, the liberal site Splinter.com published a report warning Republicans of ‘70s-style bombings, saying “This is just the beginning.”

In Oregon, a Patriot Prayer group gathered in Portland for their permitted march. Masked local Antifa groups showed up and began throwing eggs, water bottles and firecrackers at the conservative marchers, causing tensions to flare. Four people were struck by the projectiles and were taken to the hospital. An officer was also struck and taken to the hospital. Officers seized weapons such as utility knives, clubs and chemical sprays. Several arrests were made of protestors wanted on other charges.

From CRTV: The media misled you about President Trump … again. Did any so-called journalist bother to get the other side of the story from the parents of kids killed by illegal immigrants? We did. Watch here.

The left is already up in arms and wants to stop President Trump from being able to suggest a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy until after midterm elections. It’s not hard to see the agenda there. Curtis Cook, writer for Comedy Central, said he wished Justice Kennedy had been killed instead of President John Kennedy or Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

President Trump says he plans to announce his SCOTUS nominee on July 9. It’s the most consequential change to the Supreme Court’s membership in many decades.

In a recent New York Times op-ed article, Bryan W. Van Norden, professor of philosophy at Wuhan University in China, as well as Yale-NUS College and Vassar College, sees conservative viewpoints as being ignorant, and wants conservatives to have no voice in influencing public opinion.

Good news: A divided Supreme Court Tuesday rejected a California law requiring pregnancy centers run by antiabortion groups to advise patients about state-funded so-called family-planning services, including abortion. Justice Clarence Thomas said the law almost certainly violated the First Amendment’s free-speech guarantee by compelling the centers to advertise “abortion—the very practice that petitioners are devoted to opposing.

The left is calling for abolishing Immigration Control Enforcement (ICE) – a dangerous thing to do. They care more about their globalist agenda than protecting the population of the US. Mexican authorities have just arrested a top Gulf Cartel leader near the Texas Border. Luis Miguel “Flako Sierra” is one of the men responsible for the escalation of violence that has taken place in the border city. Here’s something else people ought to know before they think about voting Democrat at the polls: MS-13 is targeting black Americans. Listen here.

The rampage against white farmers in South America continues.

Orwellian society: More details are emerging of the scandal in which at least 450, and probably more than 650, people’s lives were ended as a result of being given dangerous amounts of unnecessary opiates at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in the UK. Writing in the Times, Dominic Lawson pointed out that “the ones most likely to get the treatment appeared to be not the sickest, but the most difficult.”

Whistle-blower Pauline Spilker said: “It appeared to me then and more so now that euthanasia was practiced by the nursing staff. I cannot offer an explanation as to why I did not challenge what I saw at that time…I feel incredibly guilty.”

A division of the American Library Association voted to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name from a major children’s book award over so-called stereotypical attitudes in her popular books. Wilder is best known for her “Little House on the Prairie” novels. The board voted unanimously to rename the “Laura Ingalls Wilder Award” as the “Children’s Literature Legacy Award.” The vote was greeted by a standing ovation by the audience in attendance.

Facebook is under fire for deep spying, and Google is said to have an alliance with the Deep State.

The NSA has hidden surveillance hubs in eight U.S. cities. Interviews with several former AT&T employees indicate that the buildings are central to a NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats across the U.S.

China has taken surveillance to new heights with a flock of robotic doves, but it’s doubtful they come in peace.

The leftist/globalist agenda: First, some good news: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, rejecting the challenge from the left that it discriminated against Muslims or exceeded his authority.

So-called Europe’s savior and global army pushing Emmanuel Macron met with the global government and one-world religion pushing pope for one hour, twice longer than the time others are given. Later he was awarded the title of First & Only “Honorary” Canon of the Basilica of St. John Lateran–a symbol of the Roman Catholic church’s coexistence with secular power. The tradition of French heads of state inheriting the title dates back to the 15th century French monarchy and its relationship with Rome. Later Macron met with Vatican Sec. of State Peitro Parolin and others.

A delegation of U.S. Catholic bishops led by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo traveled to the US-Mexico border to protest the US immigration policy.

In Germany, CSU parliamentary floor leader Alexander Dobrindt is opposing Merkel’s continued allowance of the migrant invasion and is calling for action to stop it.

In Italy, their new national government has the leftist globalists reeling. However, Leoluca Orlando, mayor of Palermo, Sicily, is hell-bent on ensuring that Europe commit suicide. Rape and other crime rates are skyrocketing, and Muslim migrants are not working, but placing a heavy burden on welfare systems in Europe. Yet he is calling for the inundation of migrants to continue. The mafia has been accused of using Nigerian migrants to assist with their dirty deeds.

Ramifications of the globalist agenda: A federal court has scheduled a hearing in July on a case alleging Muslim activists have hijacked curriculum in San Diego, California’s public school district.

Drug cartels are using children to transport massive amounts of drugs across the US border. Recently, five children were found to be carrying enough fentanyl to kill “millions of people.” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that MS-13 is exploiting the children, and the US administration’s policy was an effort to protect them. “To have true compassion for our children, we must restore lawfulness to our immigration system and keep them safe—including immigrant children who are often the targets of the vicious gang MS-13.”

President Trump called for an end to migrant family separations of illegals that crossed the border, a policy he did not enact but was only enforcing. What the left refuses to admit is that a large number of children are smuggled into this country without their real family and are used for sex trafficking.

In Houston, Texas, someone placed deadly fentanyl-laced flyers on the windshields of patrol cars parked outside the sheriff’s office recruiting center. A sheriff’s office sergeant was treated for exposure to the drug which can be fatal, even in small doses.

The Border Patrol set up shop in New England and got unbelievable results in just 11 Hours. Agents made nine drug seizures and two arrests for immigration violations. During the weekend of June 15-17, five illegal aliens were arrested from “Brazil, China, Ecuador, El Salvador and Mexico.”

The globalist global warming hoax exposed: As summer begins, scientists just published the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth. During Antarctica’s winter, temperatures dropped low enough to resemble other planets – a stunning negative 144 degrees Fahrenheit (-97.8 degrees Celsius). At that temperature, a few breaths of air would induce hemorrhaging in the lungs and quickly lead to death.

The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) may be about to remove ‘climate change’ from its list of core priorities. It removed the word “climate” in a new presentation. Yet for decades it has been a leading player in promoting climate alarmism. At the beginning of this year, it was caught trying to adjust the Big Freeze of the winter of 2017/2018 in the U.S. out of existence.

On this 10th anniversary of NASA’s “ice-free in 2018” prediction, Arctic sea ice volume is the highest in 14 years. Thick sea ice is blocking both the Northern Sea Route and Northwest Passage. It was 30 years ago this week that NASA head Dr. James E Hansen testified to the US Senate that “global warming has begun” – which began 30 years and counting of failed predictions. It’s a global government ruse.

Apostasy: The Calvary Chapel Pastors Conference that was held this week in Costa Mesa, California featured unbiblical contemplative speakers. For more on that subject see here and here.

The author of the New Age Book ‘The Shack’ (in which God is portrayed as a woman) claims that after death mankind is still granted the chance to decide to be reconciled with God and be saved.

Rico Tice, associate minister of All Soul’s Langham Place London and founder of Christianity Explored Ministries, quit the Archbishops’ evangelism team over its sexuality teaching. He expressed profound disappointment over the way some within the church have pushed for complete inclusion for those in same sex relationships.

Wars and rumors of wars: Russia has breached a ceasefire deal it had brokered with the US and Jordan by carrying out airstrikes in Southern Syria near the border with Jordan and Israel’s Golan. At least 45,000 Syrians were displaced; many headed to the border between Jordan and Israel. Jordan won’t take them and it wouldn’t be safe for Israel to take in these Muslims. But Israel is offering them humanitarian aid, delivering 300 tents, 13 tons of food, 15 tons of baby food, three palettes of medical equipment and medicines as well as 30 tons of clothing and footwear.

Gazans are still raging, sending rockets and also incendiary devices from Gaza into Israel, starting many fires and destroying Israel land and nature preserves. Ariel Sharon should never have turned over Gaza to the Arabs in 2005. Land for peace has never worked and it never will.

Iranian citizens are fighting back against the brutal Islamist regime, including its agenda against Israel. Chants of “death to Palestine” were even heard.

Israel fired two missiles at Damascus International Airport in Syria, a short while after a cargo plane unloaded a shipment that had been loaded in Iran of weapons intended for Hezbollah terrorists.

In Israel, armored and artillery forces were deployed Sunday as part of the IDF’s preparedness in the face of developments on the Syrian Golan Heights.

Egypt allowed Israel to hit ISIS targets in the Sinai Peninsula.

The “Peace” Plan: The US is not pressing the Israeli government to offer concessions or symbolic gestures to the ‘Palestinian’ Authority, a senior Israeli official told Arutz Sheva, marking a stark contrast with past US administrations.

Senior officials in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates expressed interest in a peace deal, even if Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas will not cooperate.

Signs in the heavens?  In the news lately is the upcoming blood moon due to occur on July 27/28. It will be the longest total lunar eclipse of the century.

On June 17, astronomers discovered an enormous, unprecedented bright flash in space that “appeared out of nowhere.” Supernovae usually take several weeks to develop, but this flash, 10 to 100 times brighter than an average supernova, appeared in a region of space the astronomers had just checked two days earlier. They’re not sure how to classify this stellar explosion.

Rabbi Yosef Berger, the Rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, called it timely since this week Jews around the world will read the portion of the Torah that describes blessings Balaam gave to Israel. One of these blessings is called the Star of Jacob: Numbers 24:17 “I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter (a symbol of royal sovereign power) shall rise out of Israel…”

Berger said this particular blessing is the source for the future arrival of the Jewish Messiah being accompanied by a powerful new star. We Christians know that a star appeared two thousand years ago that heralded the first coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. During the “time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble” (the Tribulation), the Jews will come to recognize who their true Messiah is.

Creation Groaning; Distress of Nations…and Goodbye Sports!

Earthquakes: In Japan, one of the most powerful earthquakes to rock the Kansai region in decades (6.1) struck Osaka and neighboring prefectures Monday, leaving at least 5 people dead and 381 injured. It was the largest quake within the prefecture since records were first started in 1923.

There was a 6.1 earthquake on the island of Vanuatu with minor damage. And in Guatemala, which is trying to recover from the devastating Fuego volcano eruption, there was a 5.6 quake, fortunately with no damage to the population since the quake was so deep.

Volcanoes: A Galápagos volcano on Fernandina Island erupted last Saturday after a series of nine earthquakes, spewing lava and threatening the abundant wildlife.

The Mt. Shinmoe volcano in southwestern Japan erupted explosively again. The JMA warned of the possibility of large cinders traveling up to about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the crater, and of pyroclastic flows traveling up to about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). March 6 was the first explosive eruption in seven years, but the volcano had been quiet since April, till now.

The Sabancaya volcano in Peru erupted to 24,000 ft. The Reventador volcano in Ecuador erupted to 15,000 ft. The Sinabung volcano in Indonesia erupted to 10,000 ft.

Much of the destruction from the ongoing eruption of Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island over the past several weeks has centered on the lower Eastern Rift Zone. Two dozen fissures have erupted in this zone, sending lava flows to the ocean and destroying entire communities. All of the magma feeding those rivers of lava has been draining out of Kilauea’s summit crater, causing the walls of the crater to collapse, resulting in a destabilized and widening crater. In a photo, an entire parking lot is seen slumping into the crater. Much of the National Park remains closed due to frequent earthquakes and eruptions of steam, smoke, debris and boulders from the crater.

Todd Strandberg discusses the implications of this in his latest Nearing Midnight article on the Rapture Ready website.

Extreme weather: The official beginning of summer brought extreme weather across the US which included heavy rains falling in a short amount of time, causing flooding. In addition, record heat spread across the country.

Pestilence: The first known case of the Keystone Virus transmitted to humans through mosquitoes has been identified. It took a year to figure out the diagnosis. Scientists suspect there have been other cases that weren’t diagnosed.

Drugs, sex, and depression among young people: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its bi-annual National Youth Risk Behavior Survey report last week showing a smaller percentage of U.S. teens are using illicit drugs than in the past, but about one in seven of students surveyed reported misusing prescription opioid pain medications. The report showed fewer teens reporting having sex, but those who are sexually active are less likely to use condoms than in the past. Also, a greater proportion of teens say they felt sad or hopeless or had suicidal thoughts. 

Traitors: Former Israel minister in charge of energy and infrastructure, Gonen Segev, was charged with spying for Iran since 2012, giving them sensitive information. He was allegedly an active spy at the time of his arrest and had twice been to Iran to meet his handlers. Segev, a disgraced politician who served time in jail for drug smuggling, forgery, etc, was extradited to Israel from Equatorial Guinea.

Israel’s Prime Minister and his wife need our prayers just like President Trump. All are being targeted by leftists who are pulling every stunt they can to try to take them down.

In Israel, opposition leader Isaac Hertzog was unanimously elected as chairman of the Jewish Agency against Netanyahu’s wishes. Herzog is a strong supporter of a two-state solution. In researching, I found a 2015 article that describes why most Arabs hope the day will come when Herzog is prime minister of Israel. The writer said, “…for that day – at least according to the viewpoint of most Arabs – is the beginning of the end of the state of Israel. The reason is simple: Herzog is seen as a person of weak character…”

Interestingly, Herzog was born on Rosh Hashanah, which is known as “the day of judgment.” Christians know it as the Feast of Trumpets.

Socialism: Venezuelan security forces are suspected of killing hundreds of demonstrators, and alleged criminals enjoy immunity from prosecution, indicating that the rule of law is “virtually absent” in the country.

The Liberal-left agenda: In Portland, Oregon: The city gave $96,000 to a couple opening a blacks-only Hip Hop Marijuana Shop.

We already can’t watch mainstream news without hearing Trump bashing in every other sentence. Now weather reporters are told to promote the climate change agenda.

Islamization Agenda: Amid daily acts of jihad terror and abject lawlessness, 100,000 Muslim migrants are enroute to Western Europe. Security and police officials met to discuss their response to prevent this repeat from 2015 and also growing traffic along a new smuggling route.

As the backlash continues to rise throughout Europe against open borders immigration and its disastrous results, prominent conservative Catholics are coming together to take on Francis, naming him as most guilty of driving this migrant crisis.

European Union leaders gathered in Brussels on Sunday for emergency talks on migration. A recent opinion poll showed migration was the top concern for Europe’s citizens.

At a Catholic elementary school in Linz, Austria, the children had to memorize and recite Islamic songs as part of the Islamic Ramadan festival. They were punished if they refused. One shocked parent remarked, “We were on our way home when my child suddenly started to sing “Allah, Allah.”

In Sweden, they’ve cancelled their largest annual music festival because of sex attacks. Last year there were at least 11 sex attacks, three of which led to arrests. The year before, nearly 40 young girls complained of being sexually harassed or abused by men often described as “foreign.” One 17-year-old victim described her attackers, saying: “They were probably immigrants. I hate to say it. But it is the truth.”

Depravity: The University of California, Santa Barbara website says it’s OK for children to engage in sexual play and watch porn.

Robert Gagnon, Ph.D., former associate professor of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, was blocked from Facebook for 24 hours for engaging in “hate speech” when he briefly criticized a shocking video in which an adult is seen enthusiastically indoctrinating very young children in the wonders of being homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, a “gay icon,” and a “gay ally.”

TEDx Talks are said to be “showcases for speakers presenting great, well-formed ideas in less than 18 minutes.” Recent TEDx Talks independent speaking events have featured guests promoting acceptance of pedophiles. Yet it distanced itself from a recent one in which a German medical student at the University of Würzburg lectured on “Why our perception of pedophilia has to change.” She said, though we must encourage them not to act on their impulses, we must accept them.

In NFL news, representatives from over 60 organizations, including 14 NFL teams, assembled at the Vikings facility for the first LGBTQ summit held by an NFL team. There were panel discussions on “how best to promote an inclusive atmosphere for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer athletes.”

In Connecticut’s Open track and field championship events, a winning athlete broke records left and right for the girls’ events – a male on the girls’ team that identifies as a female – and so was the runner-up.

Actor Peter Fonda (brother of Hanoi Jane) tweeted that he wants to rip Barron Trump from his mother and put him in a cage with pedophiles. He also threatened the children of border agents, called Republicans and the president a—holes, and called for millions of protestors. Yet he still has a Twitter account and Sony is still set to release his new project in two weeks. Censorship appears only to be for conservatives.

Hollywood TV writer Pat Dussault, who is from Canada, tweeted Donald Trump Jr. the following: “Don’t worry; we’re coming for Chloe.” Chloe is Trump Jr’s 4-year-old daughter. Dussault has since deleted his Twitter account. Could he not handle the backlash?

Video surfaced this week showing a French Catholic priest grabbing a crying baby’s face firmly and slapping him. When the baby’s father tried to take the baby, the priest wouldn’t let go and put his hand over the baby’s mouth. The priest said he was going to pour water on the baby so he will become a “little Christian.” (You won’t find babies or young children being baptized in the Bible. And baptism, though a public display of one’s understood commitment to follow Christ, is not required for salvation according to the Bible). Following widespread outrage when the video went public, the priest was suspended from performing baptisms.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced it will not classify being transgender as a mental disorder in its upcoming 11th edition. The WHO claimed there is clear evidence that being transgender “is not a mental disorder and classifying it this way will cause enormous stigma for them.” Gender incongruence (someone who’s convinced their true gender is different from the one indicated by their body) has also been moved out of mental disorders and into sexual health conditions. Yet the WHO ruled that same day that those addicted to playing video games have a mental disorder.

Persecution of Christians: In Canada, the Christian Trinity Western University lost its bid to open a law school due to the school’s policy that students must promise not to have premarital sex or engage in homosexuality. The Canadian Supreme Court sided with the Law Society of British Columbia in its belief that LGBTQ+ rights are more important than religious freedom rights.

Anti-Semitism: Jerusalem Affairs Minister Ze’ev Elkin criticized Britain’s Prince William for listing his upcoming tour of the Old City of Jerusalem as part of his trip to the Palestinian territories, rather than to Israel.

Showing how little the PA aka PLO cares about its own people except to use them as pawns for their destruction of Israel agenda: Nabil Abu Rudeineh, aide to Mahmoud Abbas, condemned US plans to secure Gulf funding to improve the humanitarian situation for Gazans. Gaza was taken over from Abbas by Hamas terrorists shortly after it was turned over to Arabs by Israel’s then prime minister Ariel Sharon. That shows how well the PA can run a state if they had one.

Hamas was exposed this week for paying a family to say their baby was killed by tear gas from Israel’s IDF. In reality, the baby died at home from the same blood disease that killed her brother last year.

Community Security Trust, a charity which looks to protect British Jews from hate, recorded 1,382 anti-Semitic incidents last year, the highest ever. Three fourths of those were in London.

In London, Jeremy Bedford-Turner gave a speech outside Downing Street calling for his “soldiers” to liberate England from “Jewish control.” He blamed Jews for issues ranging from both World Wars to Jack the Ripper. He wants all Jews to leave the UK. Needless to say, the problem in the UK is not the Jews. The Crown Prosecution Service initially decided against bringing charges against him, but reversed the decision after a judicial review was launched by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.

In London, Alison Chabloz writes anti-Semitic songs mocking the Holocaust and gas chambers as “a proven hoax” and describing the Nazi death camp as “a theme park.” She was given a 20-week suspended sentence, was banned from posting anything on social media for a year and ordered to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work. This was in May, yet she’s posted on her FB page since (only the most recent posts were removed where she commented on the trial and gave out her wordpress site address). She commented on her wordpress site as late as June 13, thanking her many supporters.

Terrorism: Three Israeli soldiers were seriously wounded in a car-ramming terror attack by an Arab man. A local Arab resident leaked a video of the horrid scene online, and Muslims rejoiced over it with horrible comments. This car attack is just one of several in recent days against Israeli soldiers.

In London, a woman wielding a 10-inch kitchen knife screamed “I want to kill all you Jews” and other hateful remarks while chasing a group of children who had just left a synagogue. She was tackled by bystanders and held till police arrived. A Metro police spokesman said, “This incident is not terror-related.” Really?

In Nigeria, at least 31 people were killed and 40 injured by another suicide bombing, followed by rocket attacks. The Boko Haram terrorist group, who want an Islamic Caliphate, is suspected of carrying out the attack. They are said to be angry at Muslims they suspect voted for a candidate they didn’t like. The crowd was returning home after celebrating the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday. The terrorist group used 6 female children aged 7 to 10 as the suicide bombers, likely ones they’d previously kidnapped.

Sophia Lösche, a university student and president of the youth of the Social Democratic Party in Bamberg, Germany, considered Muslim migrants not to be a danger, but instead in danger.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature (God’s creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:14-25).
