‘Too liberal, damaging to Israel, bending the moral truths of the Bible’

Why The Most Ridiculed Doctrine In The Bible Is One Of The Most Important
No other biblical teaching receives as much ridicule within the Christian community; it’s not even close. It even happens within the walls of churches that claim to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. What doctrine receives so much scoffing? It’s none other than our belief in the pre-Tribulation Rapture. The book of Proverbs describes scoffers as those that: Spurn reproof – Proverbs 9:7-8, 13:1, 15:1, Exhibit pride and arrogance – Proverbs 21:24, Cause quarreling and division – Proverbs 22:10, 29:8, Seek wisdom in vain – Proverbs 14:6

So an unhinged leftist goes through downtown Minneapolis, casually walking his dog and keying Teslas as if it’s a hobby. Not just one or two vehicles, but six Teslas, to be exact, with damage totaling more than $20,000. Caught red-handed on video, arrested by police, and unequivocally identified as 33-year-old Dylan Adams, a state employee no less. Seems like a slam-dunk criminal case, right? Wrong. Instead of holding him accountable, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty decided to give him a pass.

Well, start with Building 7,” Sen. Johnson told Johnson. “Again, I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigations like NIST that would say that that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.” “Who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence? Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures. I mean, who ordered that? Who is in charge? I think there’s some basic information.

What Should We Make Of The Rampant Speculation That The Next Pope Could Be The Last Pope?
The death of Pope Francis has created a firestorm of speculation about the next pope.  There is no clear frontrunner, and all sorts of names are being thrown around.  Many liberal Catholics are hoping for another liberal pope that will be able to continue the legacy of Francis, while many conservative Catholics are desperate for a conservative pope that will move the Vatican in a very different direction.  Meanwhile, a controversial document that was discovered in the Vatican archives in the sixteenth century known as “the Prophecy of the Popes” is getting a ton of attention on social media.  Many are suggesting that the pope that will soon be elected will actually be the last pope before the return of Christ.

Consumer sentiment is plummeting, delinquency rates are rising, and nearly three-quarters of all U.S. consumers admit that they are “financially stressed”. If U.S. consumers are experiencing this much pain now, what will things look like six months from today if there are empty shelves and widespread shortages? We witnessed a brief period of severe financial stress during the early days of the last pandemic, but we would have to go all the way back to the Great Recession to find a time that is truly comparable to what we are enduring now. U.S consumers have been getting hammered for years, and now it appears that our problems are about to go to an entirely new level. The following are 12 signs that U.S. consumers are experiencing far more financial stress than most people realize…

Greenlandic Influencer Sees Trump’s Visit as Catalyst for Independence
Qupanuk Olsen is known as Greenland’s largest influencer. But she is also a mining engineer – and convinced that Greenland’s natural resources can make the island independent and “free” from Denmark. It is no longer a question of whether it will happen, but when it will happen, she says. Even though Donald Trump has made statements about not ruling out military means to take over the island, Qupanuk Olsen believes he has set a value on the island that Greenland should utilize. For her personally, the visit meant a new conviction that independence is fully possible – that it’s not just a dream among Greenlanders, but something realistic.

Trump Looks to Cut Another $1 Billion in Funding From Harvard University as School Builds War Chest
The move would intensify what has become a fight over the future of elite higher education, against which conservatives have lodged a slew of criticisms for decades. Their moment to take action has now arrived with the second term of US President Donald Trump, which coincides with a precipitous drop in public support for academia caused by an explosion of pro-Hamas demonstrations on campuses and the promotion of views which many Americans perceive as anti-meritocratic, anti-Western, and racist.

Chinese Plastics Factories Face Mass Closure As US Ethane Disappears
Yet once the slowdown hits, as it inevitably will, the consequences for China – which unlike the US has no social safety net – will be far more dire.

The only question is when will said max pain moment hit. Chinese plastics factories that depend on a gas they mainly import from the US are contending with the prospect of widespread shutdowns as the world’s two largest economies bunker down for a prolonged trade war. The world’s dominant plastics manufacturer gets almost all its ethane, a petrochemical feedstock that is also a component of natural gas, from the US.

Harvard has refused to accept the orders of a Trump administration commission concerning its chronic problems with anti-Semitism, campus violence, and racial tribalism, bias, and segregation. Yet, unlike some conservative campuses that distrust an overbearing Washington, Harvard and most elite schools like it/ want it both ways. They do as they please on their own turf and yet still demand that the taxpayers send them multibillion-dollar checks in addition to their multibillion-dollar private incomes. Harvard has refused to accept the orders of a Trump administration commission concerning its chronic problems with anti-Semitism, campus violence, and racial tribalism, bias, and segregation.
