New Law Allows Bible Classes in Public Schools in Kentucky
By Ricky Scaparo on Jun 28, 2017 11:25 pm
JUNE 29, 2017
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) sparked a fair bit of intrigue and debate weeks ago when he announced that “prayer patrols” would be employed to help address Louisville’s homicide rate.  But now Bevin is back in the news with yet another faith-based move: the governor signed a bill into law on Tuesday that paves the way for Bible classes in public schools. House Bill 128 allows for elective courses on the Bible to be taught in Kentucky schools, with the new-found law’s sponsor
arguing that it is important for kids to understand the impact that the world’s most read and sold book has had on American history and culture, WDRB-TV reported. Republican state Rep. D.J. Johnson said that the Bible “set the foundation” that was used by the founding fathers to pen both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution — the cornerstones of American freedom and governance.

North Carolina Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Plotting Terror Attack Against Americans
JUNE 29, 2017
A North Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison for “attempting to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries” by conspiring with a member of the barbaric Islamic group ISIS to carry out one or more terror attacks on American soil. “[Justin] Sullivan was actively planning the mass killing of innocent people with an attack
designed to inflict maximum casualties and maximum pain in the name of ISIS, a sworn enemy of our nation,” said U.S. Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose of the Western District of North Carolina in a statement on Tuesday. “He also planned to film and send a video of his deadly attack to now-deceased Junaid Hussain, a prominent ISIS member based in Syria, and further expressed his wish to create a new branch of the so-called Islamic State in the United States,” she explained.

Christian Converts in India Beaten for Refusing to Worship Hindu Gods
JUNE 29, 2017
People in India have been converting to Christianity following what has been described as miraculous healings done in the name of Jesus, persecution watchdog group Open Doors has said. These Christians have remained devoted to their new faith in Jesus, despite enduring immense pressure from radicals who beat them for refusing to worship Hindu gods. Open Doors shared the stories of several Christians from India on Monday, with one man, identified as Sohan, describing what
happened to him after he and others in his village decided to follow Christ: “The villagers crowded around us and started punching and kicking us, all over our bodies. They asked us to praise Hindu gods and goddesses. We refused. They kicked us harder.” Sohan was accused by the radicals of converting people to Christianity, which is against the law in five of India’s states.

Man runs down ten commandments display in Arkansas
JUNE 28, 2017
A Ten Commandments display erected on Arkansas’ state capitol grounds Tuesday was toppled within hours by a man who’s also been accused of destroying a Ten Commandments display in neighboring Oklahoma. “Chris Powell, a spokesman with the Secretary of State’s Office, said he was called early Tuesday and told a man drove a vehicle through the monument,” Arkansas Online reported. “That driver — identified in an arrest report as Michael Tate Reed of Van
Buren — was arrested by Capitol police shortly after, Powell said. News reports indicate Reed was previously accused of destroying a Ten Commandments monument in Oklahoma.” On what is believed to his Facebook profile, Reed, 32, posted a short video of himself driving into the Ten Commandments display, shouting “Freedom!” just before impact. Earlier this week, a 6-foot tall granite Ten Commandments monument was built on the capitol grounds with money raised by the American Heritage and History Foundation.

JUNE 28, 2017
Human rights groups have reported that the number of Christians arrested in the Eastern African nation of Eritrea since the government began its most recent crackdown against Christians in May has reached at least 160. Sources who spoke with the international religious persecution advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide have put the number of
Christians detained in raids in the capital of Asmara and seven other towns at about 170, according to a press release shared with The Christian Post. Meanwhile, Release International, an organization that monitors and reports on Christian persecution in numerous nations across the globe, reported on Wednesday that around 160 Christians have been arrested.

Evangelist to Launch 50,000 Teenagers to Share Gospel, Believes Great Revival Coming
JUNE 28, 2017
Teens today face a host of challenges that were unimaginable to past generations, especially as the culture now even calls into question what it means to be male or female. But one Colorado evangelist is not deterred and is empowering tens of thousands of them with the Gospel. “Henry David Thoreau said that ‘for every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil, one strikes at the root,'” Greg Stier, founder of Dare 2 Share, told The Christian Post. “What I tell people is that it really is a sin
issue, and we need to attack that and the only thing that can attack that, just as in our lives, is the Gospel of Christ.” “And so if I meet somebody who is transgender, I share the Gospel. I don’t deal with the transgender issue” right then, he said. Stier believes Christians oftentimes “do it backwards” by dealing with and trying to fix the issues in trying to “win our culture back.” But it can’t be done through “polemic debate or through politics,” he stressed.

 6 Ways Not to Take an Offering
JUNE 28, 2017
(By J.Lee Grady) I’ve seen it all when it comes to church offerings. Once when I attended an outdoor service in Nigeria, deacons used wheelbarrows and pickup trucks to collect money because more than 500,000 people were in the audience. Yet I know a pastor in Malawi who collects the equivalent of 80 cents in his offering plate each Sunday because his members are so poor. With that money, he has planted several churches. Giving is a huge part of the Christian life. Jesus encouraged
generosity; the first disciples collected offerings; and the apostle Paul said, “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:7b). Paul taught us that collecting money to support the church’s mission should be done with integrity and that believers should respond with generous hearts. But even in those days, some Christians resisted the idea of giving to God’s work. Others used strong-arm tactics to get their hands in people’s pockets. We are still dealing with this problem 2,000 years later. Here are six of the most reckless tactics used today to raise funds in church:

What a Stranger on a Red Bicycle Can Teach Us About God’s Miraculous Provision
JUNE 28, 2017
(By Anna Aquino) “Are you sure?” I could feel myself clutching the pen as I started to write the check. “Yes.” My husband was insistent. “That’s what I feel we need to give.” I quickly did the math in my head. We did have that amount in our checking account, but it was the amount that I needed to go grocery shopping. I could see the faith in my husband’s eyes. I knew if he was this sure, then it had to be God. I struggled. Really?  When the offering was announced to send money for food for an organization, I was all about donating something. But my grocery money?  Surely my husband must have heard wrong.
I sighed. I tried to ignore the internal turmoil about the amount or thoughts of where we would get food for the two weeks, and I wrote the check. I wish I could tell you this had been an easy choice for me at the time, but today over 14 years later, I remember how nervous I was at that moment. I can remember going to our home and looking at our pantry. Like many Americans, we had way more than we needed. Surely, I reasoned in my head, I could get creative in my cooking, and we’d have enough of something to stretch for the next two weeks until pay day. The days began to roll by, and I found I was getting more and more creative with meals. About 10 days into this adventure, we were down to barely anything.

Russia warns Washington against ‘incendiary, provocative action’ in Syria
JUNE 28, 2017
Moscow has warned the US against taking unilateral action in Syria, as there is no threat from the Syrian military, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said. The statement comes after the US accused Syria of preparing for a chemical attack, without giving any evidence. Asked if Russia had warned the US administration against any unilateral action in Syria, Russia’s deputy
foreign minister, Gennady Gatilov, replied that Russian officials have “always spoken about that, including in relation to their [US] latest strikes on Syrian armed forces.” “We believe that it’s unacceptable and breaches Syria’s sovereignty, isn’t caused by any military need, and there is no threat to the US specialists from the Syrian Army. So it’s incendiary, provocative action,” Gatilov said, as cited by RIA Novosti.

DAYS OF LOT: Transgender Agenda Sowing Seeds of Confusion in Our Children
JUNE 28, 2017
The promotion of transsexual policies in schools is leading to “confusion about gender identity” in children, a leading educationalist has warned. Author and lecturer at the University of Kent, Dr. Joanna Williams, made the comments at The Telegraph Festival of Education. She criticized campaigners for seeking to change school policies on gender and forcing
children to “unlearn” the difference between boys and girls. Dr Williams said: “We are increasingly reminded that schools are struggling financially. Yet the time, effort and money that goes into producing and monitoring transgender policies is out of all proportion to the tiny number of trans children currently in British schools.” She added: “Children—encouraged by their experiences at school—are beginning to question their gender identity at ever younger ages.

US and Israel Establish New Cybersecurity Partnership
JUNE 28, 2017
The U.S. and Israel have announced a pact to establish a cybersecurity working group. The new working group will be led by Rob Joyce, special assistant to President Donald Trump and cybersecurity coordinator, and Dr. Eviatar Matania, director of the National Cyber Bureau at the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Monday with Joyce and Tom Bossert, the Trump administration’s homeland security and cyberterrorism adviser, to
outline the new partnership. According to the U.S. Embassy in Israel, “They discussed creating joint cyber teams to develop [international] cyber policy, protecting crucial infrastructure, research and development and more.”  Speaking at the Cyber Week 2017 conference in Tel Aviv, Bossert said that “these high-level meetings represent the first step in strengthening bilateral ties on cyber issues following President Trump’s visit to Israel [in May].”

Fecal bacteria found in drinks sold by UK’s top three coffee chains
JUNE 28, 2017
Traces of fecal bacteria have been found in drinks sold by Britain’s three major coffee chains, a BBC investigation has found. It found that ice drinks from Starbucks, Caffe Nero, and Costa all had traces of the fecal-derived pathogen. Seven out of 10 samples from Costa, which has been voted the nation’s favorite coffee shop for the third year in a row, were found to contain the bacteria. Three out of 10 samples from Starbucks and Caffe Nero were found to contain the bacteria,
known as fecal coliform. Tony Lewis of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health said the results are “concerning.” “These should not be present at any level – never mind the significant numbers found,” he said. Lewis warned that such “opportunistic pathogens” are the cause of “human disease.” All three chains said they are now investigating the issue.

Great Britain Suffering ‘Meltdown Of Once-Great Civilization’
JUNE 28, 2017
The United Kingdom is on the verge of breaking apart, as a van attack on Muslims leaving a London mosque raises the potential of violent exchanges between Muslims and the indigenous British population.  The supposedly conservative government of beleaguered British Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing a crackdown on “Islamophobia” in response. And May also has cited the attack as reason to support her controversial plan to regulate the Internet, including censoring
so-called “extremist” content. Yet Britain today is already a highly regulated society. With the recent passage of the Investigatory Powers Act, the United Kingdom now has the “most sweeping surveillance powers in the western world,” according to the left-wing British paper the Guardian and dissident Edward Snowden. The United Kingdom is already well-known for its widespread use of security cameras in almost every public setting.

Atheist Group Outraged Over Anne Graham Lotz Prayer Event at Sheriff’s Office
JUNE 28, 2017
The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation pressured a North Carolina Sheriff’s office to make changes to a prayer event scheduled to be held on its premises that featured Billy Graham’s daughter and evangelist Anne Graham Lotz. Earlier this month a lawyer with FFRF, which advocates for a strict adherence to separation of church and state, sent a letter to the the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office based in Jefferson, North Carolina, objecting to a “Time of Prayer” event
that was to be held at the sheriff’s office this past Saturday and led by Lotz, a popular evangelical author and founder of AnGeL Ministries. The letter, sent by FFRF attorney Andrew Seidel to Sheriff Terry Buchanan on behalf of a “concerned local resident,” expressed concern about the fact that the event was to be held at the sheriff’s office and that sheriff’s office was promoting the event on its own website and social media pages with advertisements that included the office’s official shield and seal.

Reports Of Christians tortured by ISIS in Philippines
JUNE 28, 2017
Christians and other civilians trapped in Marawi City in the Philippines are being tortured and used as sex slaves and human shields by an Islamic State-affiliated terror group. Soldiers in the Philippines Army have also reported finding decapitated bodies on the streets. The Catholic Online reported Tuesday that although the Maute group jihadists, who are aligned with IS and are operating under its command, have been reduced to holding just a few blocks in the city, they have
been carrying out horrific atrocities. The terrorists are still holding close to 100 Christians hostages, survivors who’ve escaped have said. One of the Christians in captivity is Roman Catholic priest Teresito Soganub, who is an ambassador to the Vatican and advocate for peace. Soganub appeared in a video late in May begging Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to help the hostages, but it does not know what has happened to him.

Maine confirms first measles case in 20 years
JUNE 28, 2017
Maine health officials confirmed a case of measles Tuesday, issuing a warning that the public was potentially exposed to the highly contagious virus in mid-June at several locations in Franklin County. This is the first case of measles recorded in Maine in 20 years, according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The individual contracted the disease while traveling overseas, said state epidemiologist Dr. Siiri Bennett. She declined to comment on whether the
individual is a Maine resident, a child or adult, or vaccinated against measles, citing privacy concerns. “The Maine CDC is working with clinicians to identify potentially exposed individuals and make appropriate recommendations to prevent transmission,” she said. The public may have been exposed to measles at the following locations during these time periods: READ MORE https://bangordailynews.com/2017/06/27/health/new-case-of-measles-has-been-confirmed-in-maine/


NATO says cyber attacks a call to arms
JUNE 28, 2017
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned the alliance must step up its defense against cyberattacks, saying they could potentially trigger their Article 5 mutual defense commitment. Computer users around the world were scrambling Wednesday to reboot systems after a tidal wave of ransomware cyberattacks spread from Ukraine and Russia across Europe to the United States and then on to Asia. It seemed to be very similar to the WannaCry ransomware which hit
more than 200,000 users in more than 150 countries last month. Stoltenberg said the “attack in May and this week just underlines the importance of strengthening our cyber defenses and that is what we are doing.” “We exercise more, we share best practices and technology and we also work more and more closely with all allies,” he told reporters ahead of a NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels on Thursday at which cyber-security will be a key talking point.

ISIS Reportedly Distributes Disturbing ‘Passports to Paradise’ in Desperate Attempt to Trick Fighters Into Suicide Missions
JUNE 27, 2017
A disturbing new report claims that ISIS terrorists have been distributing “passports to paradise” in a desperate effort to convince potential fighters that rewards await them in the afterlife so long as they continue to fight for the militant group’s interests. The purported passports were discovered amid ISIS’s attempts to retain control of the group’s self-described capital in Raqqa, Syria, according to the Daily Mail. The documents, which the outlet describes as “professionally printed,”

are green and include gold writing, with the words “Passport to Paradise” on the cover as well as text of the Islamic shahada, which reads, “No God but Allah, Muhammed is the Messenger of God.” Inside, the contents include Koranic verses in both Arabic and English that are aimed at encouraging militants to use car bombs and suicide attempts. ISIS’s idea is reportedly to use the document in an effort to motivate fighters to take action, telling them that they will end up in “paradise” after their deaths if they comply.

Abortions of Disabled Babies at All-Time High in Scotland
JUNE 27, 2017
A pro-life group has called on the Scottish Government to do more to protect the unborn after new figures revealed an all-time high in abortions of disabled babies in Scotland. The figures released by the NHS in Scotland found there were 216 abortions because of disability in 2016, a 57 per cent rise from the 2011 figure of 136. John Deighan, CEO of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children Scotland, said: “In Scotland, we rightly go to great lengths to accommodate people with
a disability, yet as a society we are eradicating them before they are born, thus sending a bleak message to our disability community.” Of the 216 disability abortions, more than one in three were because of Down’s syndrome. The NHS report suggests that this is due to the rise in the screening of unborn children for disability. The figures also revealed that abortion rates for women in the most deprived areas of Scotland were double that of those from the least deprived areas.

CNN Loses All Credibility As Producer Admits Entire Russia Narrative Is “Fake News”
JUNE 28, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) Nobody else needs to dig a grave for CNN because they are doing it themselves.  There has been scandal after scandal at the network, and now one of their producers has been caught on undercover video admitting that CNN has been pushing fake news stories about a connection between Donald Trump and Russia in a desperate attempt to get ratings.  In other words, CNN’s entire Russia narrative has been a complete lie all along.  Unfortunately for CNN, they are going to discover that once your credibility is gone it is incredibly difficult to ever get it back.
On Tuesday, Project Veritas made headlines all over the world when it released undercover video of CNN Producer John Bonifield admitting that CNN’s Russia narrative is fake news.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you can view the entire video right here.  Now that this video has been made public, I don’t see how CNN is ever going to recover from this.  When one of your top producers admits that the story you have been pushing for months is basically a load of cow manure, it is impossible to maintain the pretense that you are a legitimate news organization any longer…

Half of Americans are spending their entire paycheck
JUNE 28, 2017
Nearly half of Americans say their expenses are equal to or greater than their income, according to a new study from the Center for Financial Services Innovation. And for those 18 to 25 the percentage is over half, up to 54%. “Half of America has no financial cushion,” says Jennifer Tescher, president, and CEO of CFSI, which released the study. “They are living really close to the edge.” Of the 25% who say they have too much debt, 96% report being stressed. This kind of financial
stress has lasting health effects for those constantly working to cover the nut, says Tescher. “We can’t deal with their health problems if we can’t deal with their financial health.” With one out of every two people maxed-out with expenses, it is likely you or someone you know. “It’s your co-workers, the receptionist, the guy mowing your lawn, the woman who takes care of your kids.”

Supreme Court Orders States to List Same-Sex Parents on Birth Certificates
JUNE 27, 2017
The United States Supreme Court has reversed a lower court that upheld an Arkansas law that treated same-sex and opposite-sex married couples differently regarding the issuing of birth certificates. Known as Pavan v. Smith, the case was centered on a state law that automatically listed an opposite sex spouse on a birth certificate even if they were not the biological parent. This was not done for same-sex couples. In an unsigned order issued Monday, the high court ruled that

the Arkansas law unjustly treated same-sex couples differently. “… same-sex parents in Arkansas lack the same right as opposite-sex parents to be listed on a child’s birth certificate, a document often used for important transactions like making medical decisions for a child or enrolling a child in school,” read the opinion. “In considering those challenges, we held the relevant state laws unconstitutional to the extent they treated same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples.”

BIRTH PANGS: 900 Quakes in Yellowstone, 40 quakes near Lake Tahoe, 40 Quakes in N. Iceland
JUNE 27, 2017
There are currently several seismic swarms taking place around the world. Nobody knows when they are going to stop and more frightening what they are going to produce. Yellowstone Supervolcano earthquake swarm reaches 878 events in just two weeks. The earthquake swarm hitting the Yellowstone national Park is currently slowing down, but more than 900 quakes have already hit near West Yellowstone on the western edge of the National Park in the last 2 weeks. But there is

virtually no risk of the volcano erupting – USGS hasn’t raised either the volcano alert level or the aviation color. The current earthquake swarm began on June 12. A week later, the USGS put out a statement to say that 464 earthquakes had been recorded, with the largest being magnitude 4.4. This is the highest number of earthquakes at Yellowstone within a single week in the past five years. At the time, a spokesperson for the USGS said “slowly winding down,” adding that “no other geological activity has been detected.” However, in a newly released statement about the ongoing swarm, seismologists from the University of Utah said 878 events have now been recorded at Yellowstone National Park.

DEVELOPING: Mysterious boom shakes houses and alarms residents in St. Helens, Oregon
JUNE 27, 2017
A mysterious sound resembling a thunderous explosion was heard around 8 p.m. on June 25 in the St. Helens area. Curious citizens flooded social media with questions about the origin of the loud boom that some said shook homes and rattled windows. According to St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss, the first reports of the sound came in at 8:22 p.m. Moss said his department fielded 11 calls regarding the boom, mainly from residents on the west side of town.
The cause of the sound has not been determined. Moss said this time of year is marked by frequent firework and “loud boom” reports. Without more definitive information, Moss said the matter would be considered closed. There was a viral reaction to the sound on Facebook, where reports of the boom were contentiously debated and numerous theories were offered.

The Bible Verse that Inspired a U.S. Vet to Risk His Life to Save a Girl from ISIS
JUNE 27, 2017
The former Special Forces soldier who ran more than 100 yards under ISIS fire in Iraq to rescue a little girl said God’s Word inspires him to risk his life to save others. Dave Eubank has become famous for the video and pictures of his heroic rescue earlier this month, but he gives all the credit to God. “It was, I believe, God’s power that helped us rescue that girl…the American air dropping smoke, the Iraqi’s providing that tank and all of ya’ll out there praying is how it happened,” Eubank told CBN News.
“I just said, ‘Lord help us’ and if I die my wife and kids would understand … it’s to save a little girl and I ran and I had to pull her away from her dead mother,” he said. His strength and courage come from God’s Word, Eubank said. “John 13:15 — hope I got that right — but I know the words though, ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friends.”

Dubai Rolls Out Driverless Mini Cars Equipped With Biometric Scanners
JUNE 27, 2017
Months after Dubai unveiled the first flying taxis in the world, Dubai Police on Tuesday unveiled another believed world’s first — autonomous, self-driving miniature police cars that are expected to hit the streets by year-end. The robotic vehicles will be equipped with biometric software to scan for wanted criminals and undesirables who are suspected or are breaking laws, police said.
About the size of a child’s electric toy car, the driverless vehicles will patrol different areas of the city to boost security and hunt for unusual activity, all the while scanning crowds for potential persons of interest to police and known criminals. The new security system is so advanced that the mini-vehicle even comes with its own drone which can be launched via a rear sleeve — both are monitored and linked to Dubai Police command room.

FALLING AWAY: Australians Ditching religion at rapid rate, becoming more diverse
JUNE 27, 2017
Australia is becoming older and more diverse — both culturally and religiously — according to new data from the country’s census. While the first census in 1911 found the average Australian was a 24-year-old man, last year the typical Aussie was a married 38-year-old woman, who lives in a three-bedroom house, with two kids and two cars. The census, which is conducted every five years, found that Asians now make up the largest percentage of the overseas-born population,
jumping from in 2011 — 32.9% to 39.7% last year. Europe led that category the last time the survey was taken. Fifty years ago, census data showed that more than 88% of the country was Christian. It’s now just over 52%. Since the last census in 2011, the country’s Muslim and Hindu populations each added more than 100,000 people, but they still only represent 2.6% and 1.9% of the population. There are still more Buddhists than Hindus.

White House puts pressure on China amid North Korea concerns
JUNE 27, 2017
The once-budding bromance between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping seems to have cooled considerably after Beijing failed to rein in North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and missile program.  Now, the administration is taking new steps to pressure the country, with the State Department issuing a report Tuesday that labels it among the
worst human traffickers in the world.  “China was downgraded to Tier 3 action in this year’s report in part because it has not taken serious steps to end its own complicity in trafficking, including forced laborers from North Korea that are located in China,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.

DAYS OF LOT: Archbishop Praises Lesbian Singer for ‘Outstanding Service to the Church’
JUNE 27, 2017
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has come under fire for handing pro-LGBT singer Vicky Beeching an award for her “outstanding service to the church.” The archbishop presented Beeching, a lesbian and avid supporter of same-sex marriage, with the Thomas Cranmer Award for Worship. She was honored alongside other Christian musicians, including
Rev. Tim Hughes and Stuart Townend. Colin Hart, Director of The Christian Institute, said he was “shocked” that Justin Welby had given an award to someone so outspoken in her promotion of homosexual marriage. “Vicky Beeching rejects Christian teaching on sexual ethics by advocating for same-sex marriage. I’m shocked that the archbishop should choose to honor someone so out of step with the biblical understanding of marriage and sexual morality.”

Teaching Biblical Truth Could Get Your Kids Taken Away
JUNE 27, 2017
(Reported By Andrea Mrozek) Canada’s most populous province, Ontario, just passed a law that could allow the government to remove kids from their home if their parents oppose the new transgender ideology. Could there be anything more terrifying for parents than that? It’s not hard to see why the passage of Bill 89 captured the attention of so many across the globe. But how did this bill—
which is about foster care and adoption—get caught up in politically correct ideologies about “gender identity” and “gender expression” in the first place? It didn’t come out of anywhere. Ontario has passed five gender laws in the past five years, few of which received much media attention or even opposition in the legislature. Bill 89 is the latest in this litany of bad legislation.

DEVELOPING: Multiple Reports Of Plague Reported in New Mexico’s Santa Fe County
JUNE 27, 2017
The New Mexico Department of Health on Monday confirmed two more human cases of plague. The recent cases involve a 52-year-old woman and a 62-year-old woman. The first case this year was reported in early June in a 63-year-old man. All three patients, who live in Santa Fe County, were hospitalized but there have been no deaths. State public health veterinarian Paul Ettestad said plague can be present in fleas that infest wild rodents in Santa Fe County, including within
the city limits of Santa Fe and in other locations around New Mexico. “Pets that are allowed to roam and hunt can bring infected fleas from dead rodents back into the home, putting you and your children at risk,” he said. Health workers are conducted environmental investigations around the homes of the three patients to look for ongoing risk and to ensure the safety of the immediate family members and neighbors.

RUMORS OF WAR: Cyber attack could lead to military retaliation
JUNE 27, 2017
Britain could launch military retaliation such as air strikes against a future cyber attack, the Defence Secretary has suggested. Sir Michael Fallon warned potential attackers that a strike on UK systems “could invite a response from any domain – air, land, sea or cyberspace”. The Defence Secretary said the UK’s ability to carry out its own cyber attacks against Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (Isil), also known as Daesh, had saved lives during the battle for Mosul in Iraq
and the capability was also being used in the fight for Raqqa in Syria. Meanwhile the head of the US Army said governments are relying too much on overstretched elite special forces such as the SAS and Delta Force to try to win conflicts. Gen Mark Milley said it was a myth that special forces “can do it all” and they were being asked to conduct missions they were not designed for.

 Judgment, Wrath and Deceiving Spirits: You Won’t Hear Too Many Prophecies Like This Today


JUNE 27, 2017
(By Bert Farias)”With great judgments will I plead with the population of this country. Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard My gospel but no longer walk in it. My wrath shall come upon them. The darkness shall be so great and the anguish so sore that men shall cry out for death and shall not find it. There shall be a lingering death, famine and great catastrophes.
My wrath shall be manifested against all ungodliness. It shall come with great intensity. You have known my love but have not experienced My wrath or My severity. My judgments are literal and not a thing to be passed over lightly. Realize the severity of My judgments and My intense anger against the sin in My household. My judgments shall begin in My house, for I will cleanse My house that it be not a partaker of My wrath against the iniquities of the cities. Before I visit the nations in judgment; I will begin at My house. When I do cause My wrath to come upon the cities of the world, My people shall be separate. I desire a people without spot or wrinkle, and such will be preserved by Me in the time of My wrath, which will be coming upon all iniquity and unrighteousness.

‘Most Blasphemous Film of the Year’ Based on the Life of a Saint
JUNE 27, 2017
Typically, a film based on the life of a saint doesn’t involve blatant blasphemy. However, The Ornithologist has decided to break every single boundary while relating the director’s version of “the legend” of St. Anthony of Padua. In a review of the film, Daily Beast contributor Nick Schager calls the movie “equally pious and profane” that should be approached as a work of art. As he puts it, the plot is “best experienced with an open mind and a willingness (if not eagerness) to get lost
inside its strange, beguiling world.” Why would the Daily Beast be enthusiastic about something based on the life of a Catholic saint? Well, naturally, the plot “takes a more bizarre turn” than something that would be considered more traditional. It follows an ornithologist who is lost in northern Portugal, who ends up in several compromising situations. The main character, after witnessing the cult sacrifice of a wild hog, runs into a shepherd named Jesus, who is supposed to represent the actual figure of Jesus Christ.

Trump Warns Assad Will ‘Pay Heavy Price’ If He’s Plotting Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria
JUNE 27, 2017
The White House warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday that he and his military would “pay a heavy price” if it conducted a chemical weapons attack and said the United States had reason to believe such preparations were underway. The White House said in a statement released late on Monday the preparations by Syria were similar to those undertaken before an April 4 chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians and prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to
order a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base. “The United States has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said. “If … Mr. Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price,” he said.

Kansas School District Stops Team Prayers After Atheist Group FFRF Files Complaint
JUNE 27, 2017
A public school district in Kansas has assured an atheist group that an inspiring moment when its boys basketball team came together at mid-court to pray with the opposing team will “never happen again” after receiving a warning letter threatening a potential lawsuit. The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which claims to be the nation’s largest atheist legal group, said it was successful in its effort to get the Cheylin United School District 103 to take action
after players and coaches of the Cheylin High School boys basketball team participated in a mid-court prayer with members of the Weskan high school team following their Jan. 31 game. On June 14, FFRF legal fellow Christopher Line sent a letter to Superintendent Allaire Homburg arguing that prayer with students that involves public school coaches is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. “We understand that coaches from both teams participated in the prayer,” the letter explains.

 6 Christians Charged With Forced Conversions in India
JUNE 27, 2017
Six Christians who were arrested in May for taking 72 children to a Vacation Bible School camp in Madhya Pradesh state, India, have reportedly been charged with kidnapping and forcible conversions as police refuse to recognize the children as Christians. Sources told Morning Star News in a report published June 23 that along with the six Christians, a 15-year-old boy was also held in a juvenile detention center for nearly a month, before finally being released last week. “I missed my
home so much — I cried every day, and prayed and prayed,” Akash Gundia said. “Finally, the Lord heard me. I am happy to be back home.” Gundia was reportedly one of the 72 children detained by Ratlam Railway Police on May 21 as they traveled to the VBS camp in Nagpur. Eight supervisors were also arrested, and despite explanations that all the children had Christian parents, they were accused of trying to convert the children.

EU Slaps GOOGLE With Record $2.7 Billion Fine For Manipulation Searches
JUNE 27, 2017
Google suffered a major blow on Tuesday after European antitrust officials fined the search giant a record $2.7 billion for unfairly favoring some of its own search services over those of rivals. The penalty, of 2.4 billion euros, highlights the aggressive stance that European officials have taken in regulating many of the world’s largest technology companies, going significantly further than their American counterparts.
By levying the fine against Google — more than double the previous largest penalty in this type of antitrust case — Margrethe Vestager, Europe’s antitrust chief, also laid claim to being the Western world’s most active regulator of digital services, an industry still dominated by Silicon Valley. “In Europe, companies must compete on the merits regardless if they are European or not,” she said on Tuesday. “What Google has done is illegal under E.U. antitrust rules.”

President Trump Breaks with Tradition, Skips Annual Ramadan Dinner
JUNE 26, 2017
For the first time in nearly two decades, the White House has decided to skip hosting the annual Eid al-Fitr dinner celebrating the end of Ramadan. The dinner began under the Clinton administration and continued through the Obama years.    Instead, the president issued a statement wishing warm greetings to Muslims. “Muslims in the United States

joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity.  Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life,” the statement read in part. Ramadan is considered the Muslim holy month, marked by prayer and fasting.  Eid al-Fitr is the “break” to that fast.

DAYS OF LOT: It’s okay to decorate a police car with rainbow flags, but not Bible verses
JUNE 26, 2017
(Reported By Todd Starnes) It’s permissible in the United States to decorate police cars with rainbow flags to celebrate gay pride, but it’s not permissible to decorate police cars with Bible verses honoring law enforcement officers.  The Houston Police Dept. is debuting a “Pride Car” for the city’s gay pride parade, the Houston Chronicle reports. Police Chief Art Acevedo is downright giddy about the new rainbow cruiser and the parade. The newspaper reports the chief “strongly encouraged”

top police brass to join him in the march. “By actually participating … we send a very powerful message that we’re an inclusive department,” he said, “where every segment of society is welcome, is respected, and will be protected by the Houston Police Department,” he told the newspaper. The rank and file, however, are not so appreciative of the police chief’s strong-arm tactics.

Consuming less sugar is more powerful than any medication doctors could prescribe
JUNE 26, 2017
A doctor has revealed the secrets behind the “world’s healthiest village”– and there it all comes down to eating less sugar. Cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra – who describes himself as a former sugar addict – has spent years studying the reasons behind rocketing rates of heart disease and obesity in Britain. Key to his research were residents of the village of Pioppi, in

southern Italy, where diabetes is unheard of and many live to over the age of 100. After studying the Pioppians, Dr Malhotra found it was their lifestyle that gave them many years of extra life.  Diet was a key factor as was lack of stress, seven hours of sleep a night and eating sugar just once a week.  He has concluded that “simple lifestyle changes such as consuming less sugar were more powerful than any medication doctors could prescribe”.

Extreme Heat in Arizona preventing planes from taking off and melting plastic and paint
JUNE 26, 2017
Arizona is no stranger to heat waves. But even by natives’ own high standards, the past week has been scorching. The Guinness World Record for hottest temperature ever recorded is 134 degrees Fahrenheit. In Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, it’s touched 119 degrees and just barely gone below 90 at any point over the past week, according to the National Weather Service.
It’s been so hot that regional flights in Phoenix have been canceled, because some planes cannot be operated in the excessive heat, according to the Washington Post. And according to social media users, the heat has made some strange things happen on the ground, including melting mailboxes, actual cookies baked in a car and drivers busting out oven mitts just to grab the steering wheel.

Financial Expert Warns Stocks Will plummet 40% or More
JUNE 26, 2017
If the man often hailed as the original “Dr. Doom” is right, the stock market could see another “lurch” higher — at which point investors may want to cash out quickly and run for cover. Marc Faber, the editor of “The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’ and a perennial bear, isn’t backing down from his latest dire prediction that would send stocks plummeting by 40 percent or more. A drop of that size could take the S&P 500 Index down from Friday’s closing price of 2,438 to 1,463. He
used the meteoric rise of FANG stocks, which reflects Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google (Alphabet), as a glaring bearish signal. “We’ve had more than eight years of a bull market. The Nasdaq is being driven by very few stocks,” said Faber on Friday’s “Trading Nation.” That rally “is not a particularly healthy sign from a technical point of view, and valuations are very high,” the investor added.

Thousands of Palestinians Flood Temple Mount on Last Day of Ramadan
JUNE 25, 2017
Over 300,000 Palestinians flooded the Temple Mount in Jerusalem overnight on Thursday to observe Laylat al-Qadr (night of power), the last night of the month-long fast period of Ramadan, despite recent deadly terror attacks in the city. Following a deadly attack last Friday in which three Palestinian terrorists killed Hadas Malka, a 23-year old IDF Border Policewoman, Israel suspended permits for Palestinians aged 12-40 allowing them to travel from Judea and Samaria into
Jerusalem. For this final day of Ramadan, Israeli authorities are still permitting men above the age of 40, women of all ages, and children younger than 12 years of age to enter Jerusalem without a permit.the besieged Gaza Strip to Jerusalem. The trips have been carried out each Friday since the start of Ramadan.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is going to institute increased security measures at the Damascus Gate entrance into the Old City.

Researchers Claim Mysterious ‘unseen planetary mass’ is lurking at edge of solar system
JUNE 25, 2017
A mysterious, unseen, planetary object with a mass somewhere between that of Mars and Earth may be lurking in the outer reaches of our solar system, according to new research.  Scientists at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) put forward evidence that this unknown “planetary mass object” may explain why the plane of the solar system is warped in the outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt lies beyond the orbit of Neptune and hosts a vast
number of minor planets, mostly small, icy bodies and a few dwarf planets. All planets in our solar system orbit around the sun on the same plane but, according to the measurements made by the research team, the most distant Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) appear to be tilted away from this by about eight degrees. This indicates that something unknown is warping the average orbital plane of the outer solar system.

A Deadly Deception Emerging in the Prophetic Movement
JUNE 25, 2017
(By Jennifer Leclaire) The church needs prophets who can rightly discern the moving of the Lord—and the moving of the enemy. We need prophets who will stand in the gap and make up the hedge so the enemy cannot infiltrate. Anyone with a sensitive spirit can pick up on the rising level of spiritual warfare in this hour. Just look at the attacks on major cities in our nation. Just look at the persecution of Christians. Just look at the number of church leaders who have fallen. Just look at how many churches are closing. Just look. Clearly, darkness is raging against the church.

Spiritual warfare is real, despite some who insist we don’t have to fight because the devil is already defeated. Spiritual warfare is biblical, despite those who argue we should ignore the operations of the devil. Spiritual warfare is necessary because principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness (Eph. 6:12) and other forces are raging against all those who call Christ Lord.

Arizona so hot weather map almost runs out of colors
JUNE 24, 2017
Arizona truly has some extreme heat going on today. It’s going to be so hot, the high-temperature map will almost run out of colors. I’ve tweaked color banks on weather graphics for almost 30 years. The trick is to get the colors to match the temperatures, as we have come to expect them. So cold temperatures are usually blue and purples, and hot temperatures
are varying levels of red. But sometimes extreme weather can make a graphic color bank hard to develop. Look at the color bank weatherbell.com had to use for the extreme heat today in Arizona and California.With high temperatures expected to hit 120 degrees in the Phoenix area, all of the hot colors are all used up. The color bank had to top out with green colors to depict temperatures over 120. Green used for extreme heat? What’s left?

Top 10 Bible-Minded Cities in US for 2017 Revealed
JUNE 24, 2017
How do Americans from each region interact with the Bible? A study by Barna Group explores the faith profile of 131 cities to identify the top 10 most Bible-minded cities as well as the least Bible-minded cities in 2017.  Barna’s annual Bible-Minded Cities report, in partnership with American Bible Society, is based on interviews with 76,505 adults over a 10-year period. And it found that Chattanooga in Tennessee is the most Bible-minded city in America, for the second year in a row.
The evangelical polling organization determined “Bible-mindedness” by asking the respondents how regular they are in reading the Bible and what they think of its accuracy. Based on the results, the group found that 50 percent of the population of Chattanooga is Bible-minded. Birmingham, Anniston and Tuscaloosa in Alabama have taken the second spot, with 49 percent. In 2015, these cities had the first spot.

Man Nearly Dies, Claims He Visited Heaven — and Here’s How He Describes Jesus
JUNE 24, 2017
A man is sharing his harrowing story of reportedly visiting heaven after nearly dying as the result of a severe allergic reaction. Steven Musick, author of the new book, “Life After Heaven: How My Time in Heaven Can Transform Your Life on Earth,” told Faithwire earlier this year about a major reaction he had to the swine flu vaccine years ago while he was in
the Navy. It was an experience that forever changed his perspective, and his life.“It’s pretty typical when you’re in the military to be vaccinated against all kinds of various diseases and bugs … you have to do that in order to be deployed,” Musick said. “I was allergic to the swine fly vaccine that they were testing and I had a very violent, dramatic reaction.”

Strange meat allergies triggered by ticks, continues to spread
JUNE 23, 2017
First comes the unscratchable itching, and the angry blossoming of hives. Then stomach cramping, and—for the unluckiest few—difficulty breathing, passing out, and even death. In the last decade and a half, thousands of previously protein-loving Americans have developed a dangerous allergy to meat. And they all have one thing in common: the lone star tick. Red meat, you might be surprised to know, isn’t totally sugar-free. It contains a few protein-linked saccharides, including
one called galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, or alpha-gal, for short. More and more people are learning this the hard way, when they suddenly develop a life-threatening allergy to that pesky sugar molecule after a tick bite. Yep, one bite from the lone star tick—which gets its name from the Texas-shaped splash of white on its back—is enough to eprogram your immune system to forever reject even the smallest nibble of perfectly crisped bacon.

NASA’s New Assignment Is To Find Aliens and Prove Evolution
JUNE 23, 2017
The National Space and Aeronautics Administration has done some amazing things for the United States over the years: the initial short flights into space, then the longer orbiting missions, the moon visits, the space station and even unmanned trips to every sidewalk in the solar system. But now it has some new goals: Find aliens. And prove evolution. And while the agency is at it, its staff members should identify the origins of life. That’s according to the new – and very
religious – marching orders the agency was given just weeks ago. The Atlantic explained just what developed.   “On March 21 of this year, both parties in Congress and the Trump administration made a change to a federal document that amounted to only a few words, but which may well change the course of human history. “Every few years, Congress and the administration pass a NASA Authorization Act, which gives the U.S. Space Agency its marching orders for the next few years.

DEVELOPING: 400 more homes evacuated by growing fire near Utah
JUNE 23, 2017
A wildfire near a southern Utah ski town that has forced hundreds of people to evacuate has doubled in size in high winds and drove out residents of 400 additional homes, authorities said Thursday. The blaze is one of several burning in the U.S. West as extreme heat makes it difficult for firefighters to tamp down the flames. In Utah, new evacuations were ordered east of the fire’s epicenter in the tiny mountain town of Brian Head, with residents nearby and people visiting a popular
fishing area also asked to leave to avoid danger, said Denise Dastrup of the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office. More than 700 other people have been out of their homes since Saturday. Someone using a torch to burn weeds ignited the fire near the alpine community that is home to the Brian Head Resort and close to several national monuments and parks in Utah’s red rock country.

DAYS OF LOT: Pregnant Mother Insists She Is a Man
JUNE 23, 2017
A woman is insisting she is still a “transgender man,” even though she is visibly pregnant and has also stopped taking male hormones. Kaci Sullivan, 29, of Wisconsin, became pregnant with her second child just six months after she stopped taking male hormones and began normal sex with her 27-year-old boyfriend, the Daily Mail reported. Sullivan also has a 5-year-old son whom she gave birth to before she tried living as a man. “When I became pregnant with my first child, I was
still in denial about being transgender,” she explained. “I hoped my pregnancy would help me connect with womanhood and femininity and somehow the terrible discomfort I had felt with my body all my life would be alleviated – but that didn’t happen.” After declaring herself to be a man, “my body is much aligned with how I view myself and my pregnancy is so much better,” Sullivan said.

UPDATE: Earthquake Swarm at Yellowstone reaches 500-plus since June 12
JUNE 23, 2017
Seismologists are studying a swarm of 500-plus earthquakes that have rattled the Yellowstone Park area since June 12. Most are centered 8 miles north-northeast of West Yellowstone.  That is just a few miles east of the Hebgen Lake Basin, the site of the historic 1959 quake.  That one measured 7.3 on the Richter scale, killed 28 people and created Quake Lake, near the Gallatin National Forest. Mike Stickney, of the Earthquake Studies office at Montana Tech, said earthquake
swarms are normal this time of year.  He says many are smaller.  When we checked we found dozens that measured under 2.0 on the Richter scale.  However, Stickney said he hasn’t seen such an extensive swarm of earthquakes in Yellowstone since 2010.  But he stressed each is small enough that no one is in immediate danger. Stickney told us, “We live in earthquake country. We can never say that this isn’t leading up to something bigger.  But at this point, we have no reason to believe its portending to be anything more drastic.”

5 Reasons the End Times are Upon Us Now
JUNE 23, 2017
It may come as a surprise to some, but many contemporary theologians and pastors believe that they are observing numerous signs in our culture that mirror the prophetic contents of the Bible. People actually believe the end of the world is happening now? It’s true. Christians everywhere are starting to agree, siting sweeping moral decay, biblical disconnectedness, and ongoing violence in the Middle East as just a few of the markers. These prophecies were written
thousands of years ago in the Old and New Testaments, so how can we be sure the end times are approaching? Jesus told of his future second coming, but also stated that no one would know the day of His return. While Christians don’t know when, Jesus did reveal to the disciples some of the signs of the second coming. As tensions around the world have increased, the belief that the prophecies in the Bible are talking about modern day is increasingly common. Here’s why.

Violent thunderstorms hit Germany, two people killed, one seriously injured
JUNE 23, 2017
Violent thunderstorms hit Germany on Thursday, June 22, 2017, producing gale-force winds, heavy rain and large hail. The storms caused widespread damage and traffic chaos, killed two people and severely injured at least one person. Contrary to numerous media reports, there was no tornado ripping through the city of Hamburg yesterday. The first set of storms marched through the country during the early morning hours, damaging power lines and rail tracks, thus forcing
trains to be halted between Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Kiel, and Hanover. Regional train provider Metronom said its services in the northwest were also affected after storms downed trees onto the tracks in several places. The storms also affected and temporarily closed some of the busiest road routes connecting Hamburg with Berlin, Hanover and Wolfsburg.

Virginia man charged with espionage for giving top-secret documents to China


JUNE 23, 2017
A Virginia man has been charged with espionage for transmitting top-secret documents to Chinese officials. Kevin Patrick Mallory, 60, was arrested Thursday at his home in Leesburg, Virginia, and appeared in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Mallory, a self-employed consultant and Army veteran, was charged with gathering or delivering defense information to aid a foreign government and for making material false statements under the federal Espionage Act. Mallory, a fluent
Mandarin speaker, traveled to Shanghai in April, and was caught with $16,500 in two carry-on bags upon his return to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. He had failed to declare the cash. Mallory was interviewed by the FBI in May, when he admitted he met with two people from a Chinese think tank, whom he suspected were Chinese intelligence agents. Mallory told the FBI the Chinese agents had given him a special communications device for transmitting documents.

Tom Cruise Was Once a Bible-Reading, “Born-Again Christian” that Converted To Scientology


JUNE 23, 2017
Actor Curtis Armstrong claims in his upcoming book that megastar Tom Cruise read the Bible and identified as a born-again Christian in his early career before he became a Scientologist.  The Hollywood Reporter posted on Wednesday an excerpt from Armstrong’s upcoming book, titled Revenge of the Nerd: Or . . . The Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be Booger, in which the actor shares his experience co-starring with Cruise in the 1983 film “Risky Business” on an
off the set. Armstrong praised Cruise for his dedication to acting, and noted that he identified as a Christian at the time. “He (Cruise) self-identified as a born-again Christian and the rumor was he had actually considered shepherding souls for a living. I could believe it. Away from the set, initially, Tom made straight arrows look like corkscrews,” the author noted. “I would ask him at the end of the day if he would like to join us at the bar for a drink. ‘No,’ I recall him saying,

Christian Pro-Lifers Sued by New York Atty. Gen. for ‘Harassment’ Outside Abortion Clinic
JUNE 23, 2017
New York Attorney Gen. Eric Schneiderman has filed a federal lawsuit against a coalition of Christian pro-life protesters who’ve been accused of threatening patients, staff and family members outside of an abortion clinic in New York City for years.  The attorney general’s office announced on Wednesday that it filed a federal harassment lawsuit against 14 pro-life activists who it claims repeatedly “harassed, threatened, and menaced patients, families, escorts, and clinic staff” at the
Choices Women’s Medical Center in Jamaica Queens “every Saturday morning for at least five years.”  The lawsuit states that the defendants are a “loose alliance of individuals” associated with the Church at the Rock in Brooklyn, Grace Baptist Church in Woodhaven, Bright Dawn Ministries in Brooklyn, and a group called Helpers of God’s Precious Infants. Other protesters with no church or organizational affiliation are also listed in the lawsuit.

UPDATE: Christian Woman Ordered by Police to Stop Praying in Her Home Loses in Court
JUNE 23, 2017
The United States Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against a Kansas Catholic woman who claims that she was ordered by police to stop praying in her own home. On Tuesday, the three-judge panel voted to uphold a judge’s dismissal of Mary Anne Sause’s lawsuit against two Louisburg officers, who she said demanded to be allowed into her home and
wouldn’t tell her why they were there. She alleged that when she began praying, the officers, who were there because of a noise complaint, ordered her to stop. An opinion written by Judge Nancy Moritz states that the court assumes that “the defendants violated Sause’s rights under the First Amendment” by repeatedly mocking her, ordering her to stop praying “so they could harass her,” insisting that she reveal scars from a double mastectomy and threatening her with arrest.

California AG bans state-funded travel to Texas, 3 other states in response to Anti-LGBT Rights
JUNE 23, 2017
California’s attorney general blocked state-funded travel to Texas and three other states on Thursday in response to what he considers anti-LGBT rights laws enacted this year.  Democratic Attorney General Xavier Becerra added Texas, Alabama, South Dakota and Kentucky to the list of places where state employee travel is restricted. Lawmakers passed legislation last year banning non-essential travel to states with laws that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender people. North Carolina, Kansas, Mississippi and Tennessee are already on the list. California taxpayers’ money “will not be used to let people travel to states who chose to discriminate,” Becerra said. It’s unclear what practical effect California’s travel ban will have. The state law contains exemptions for some trips, such as travel needed to enforce California law and to honor contracts made before 2017.

Washington, DC next to offer “Gender-Neutral licenses and IDs”
JUNE 22, 2017
Washington, D.C. will soon offer gender-neutral licenses and IDs.  Instead of only offering an ‘M’ for male and ‘F’ for female on licenses, there will be an ‘X’ option for those who identify as transgender.  “The ‘X’ gender marker allows for individuals to have more privacy around their gender,” explained Arli Christian, a spokesperson for the National Center

for Transgender Equality.  “Any individual who chooses to have additional privacy can request an ‘X’,” she added.  Washington, D.C. is the second jurisdiction in the country to approve such a measure.  A plan for gender-neutral licenses will be approved in Oregon on July 3.  “In particular, I’m thinking of one constituent who doesn’t identify as either male or female, and ask could there be another way,” Council member Brianne Nadeau said.

Extra virgin olive oil staves off Alzheimer’s and preserves memory
JUNE 22, 2017
Temple University research shows extra-virgin olive oil protects against memory loss, preserves the ability to learn and reduces conditions associated with Alzheimer’s disease.  Researchers at the college’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine found mice with EVOO-enriched diets had better memories and learning abilities compared to the rodents who didn’t eat the oil.
The real effect of EVOO appeared in the inner-workings of the mice’s brains. Neuron connections in the brain were better preserved in those on an EVOO diet. Also, olive oil reduces brain inflammation and activates the autophagy process, whereby intracellular debris and toxins are removed. Such debris and toxins are firm markers of Alzheimer’s disease. A reduction in autophagy, researchers claim, is suspected to be the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease.

Christian School Banned from Teaching ‘Offensive’ Parts of Bible
JUNE 21, 2017
Cornerstone Christian Academy in Alberta, Canada, is being told to stop teaching Scriptures that may be considered offensive. Battle River School Division (BRSD) chair, Lauri Skori, told Cornerstone’s chair, Deanna Margel, that “any Scripture that could be considered offensive to particular individuals should not be read or studied in school.”  Skori said it would be inappropriate for the school to share “any teachings that denigrate or vilify someone’s sexual orientation.”
“We’re talking about freedom of religion, but we’re also talking about freedom of expression,” said Margel. “We need every single word there to challenge us, to call us to greater understanding. It’s just so important.” On June 15, the school and the board met to further discuss the issue. The National Post reports that 50 Cornerstone representatives were present.

Stephen Hawking Warns “Earth’s Clock Is Running Out and a Doomsday Event Is Coming”
JUNE 21, 2017
Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking is urging space exploration to save humanity, as the earth is close to expiration. “Earth is under threat from so many areas that it is difficult for me to be positive,” Hawking says in a recent speech. “We are running out of space, and the only place we can go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” This
isn’t the first time the physicist has made such claims. In Expedition New Earth, a BBC documentary, Hawking explores what he believes is necessary to preserve humanity. “Professor Stephen Hawking thinks the human species will have to populate a new planet within 100 years if it is to survive,” the BBC said. “With climate change, overdue asteroid strikes, epidemics and population growth, our own planet is increasingly precarious.”

Fears of Terrorism Drive More in US to Avoid Crowds
JUNE 21, 2017
Thirty-eight percent of U.S. adults say the threat of terrorism makes them less willing to attend events where there are thousands of people. This is up from 27% in July 2011, the last time Gallup asked the question. It is also the highest level recorded since Gallup began asking the question after 9/11.   These most recent data come from Gallup’s latest survey
conducted June 7-11. The record-high percentage of Americans avoiding large events comes on the heels of the May 22 terrorist attack on concertgoers in Manchester, England, and the June 3 attack at a crowded bridge and restaurants in London. Immediately after 9/11, 30% of Americans expressed reluctance to attend crowded events. That level of concern persisted throughout the first year after those attacks but dipped in polls conducted five years and 10 years later —

 ‘Terrorist’ shouting Allahu Akbar’ stabs cop at Michigan airport
JUNE 21, 2017
The FBI is investigating the stabbing of a police officer at Flint, Michigan’s Bishop Airport as a ‘possible act of terror,’ according to reports.  A Canadian man yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ repeatedly stabbed the officer in the neck at the airport on Wednesday morning, witnesses told NBC News.   The saying means ‘God is great’ in Arabic, and is often
shouted by Islamic terrorists before attacks or suicide bombings.  The police officer involved in the incident has been identified as Lieutenant Jeff Neville.  Neville was at his post at the top of a set of escalators at the airport Wednesday morning when he was attacked from behind with a knife similar to a Bowie knife, WJRT reports.

DEVELOPING: Explosion in tick related diseases spreading across Northeast…
JUNE 21, 2017
Tick numbers are on the rise across New England, raising the prospect of an increase in Lyme and other diseases associated with the bloodsuckers. Much of the region got a respite last year as the drought took a toll on ticks, whose numbers drop as the humidity falls below 85 percent. But the drought is largely gone from the region and ticks are
taking advantage. Residents in Maine are complaining they are finding as many as 30 ticks at a time on their clothes, and public health officials in Vermont are reporting an above-average rate of emergency room visits for tick bites in the last three weeks. “All of sudden everybody you know has got them,” said George Africa, owner of Vermont Flower Farm. He’s found two black-legged ticks on him in the last several weeks.

Two-month countdown begins to total solar eclipse across U.S.
JUNE 21, 2017
Two months before the first total solar eclipse to cross the continental United States in a century, NASA on Wednesday is expected to detail its plans to study and promote a celestial show that will darken skies from Oregon to South Carolina. During the Aug. 21 eclipse, the moon will pass between the sun and Earth, blocking the face of the sun and leaving only its outer atmosphere, or corona, visible in the sky. It is the first coast-to-coast total eclipse since 1918. Weather permitting,
astronomy enthusiasts can watch as the moon’s 70-mile (113-km) wide shadow crosses the country, starting at 10:15 a.m. PDT (1715 GMT) around Lincoln Beach, Oregon, and ending at 2:49 p.m. EDT (1849 GMT) in McClellanville, South Carolina. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration will discuss several solar physics and Earth science experiments to be conducted during the eclipse in a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.

Black Eyed Peas Star Fergie Seen Attending Church in Recent Weeks
JUNE 21, 2017
In an emotional 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Grammy-winning recording artist Fergie opened about her struggle with drug addiction and how turning to her Christian faith ultimately saved her life. “My brain had been playing a lot of tricks on me… I started getting really paranoid,” she told Winfrey in an episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter. “So I went one day into this church and I thought that the FBI and the SWAT teams were outside the church.” In that moment, she had a
conversation with God that led her to get the help she needed for her addiction.“So I had a conversation with God and I said, ‘Alright, if I go out there and the FBI and the SWAT team’s not out there, then it’s the drugs and I’m stopping.’ I went outside of the church and there was no SWAT team, there was no FBI, just me and God,” she explained. “And I kept my promise. That day. That was it.”

These 3 Hebrew Feasts Depict Christ’s Second Coming
JUNE 21, 2017
(By Ron Allen) June 21, the summer begins on the summer solstice.  Astronomically, the summer solstice is the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky over the northern hemisphere. It is also the longest day of the year. The opposite solstice, the winter solstice, is the day when the sun is lowest in the heavens, and the night is longest. The other seasonal markers, the spring and fall equinoxes, occur when the sun is at midpoint, and day and night are of equal length. These important
calendar dates are important in God’s religious calendar. The first three Hebrew feasts, pointing to Christ’s death and resurrection, occur near the spring equinox, and the last three feasts, picturing the Second Coming of Christ, occur near the fall equinox. The spring and winter are associated with the appearance of Christ in Hosea 6:3, and the story of Christ’s advent begins with the conception of John the Baptist which is believed to have occurred near the winter solstice in 7 B.C. Summer is associated with the Second Coming of Christ, as we are told that the summer is near when the fig tree (Israel) comes to life (Matt 24:32). See our book, The Stars of His Coming, for more information.

69 Percent Of Americans Do Not Have An Adequate Emergency Fund
JUNE 21, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) Do you have an emergency fund?  If you even have one penny in emergency savings, you are already ahead of about one-fourth of the country.  I write about this stuff all the time, but it always astounds me how many Americans are literally living on the edge financially.  Back in 2008 when the economy tanked and millions of people lost their jobs, large numbers of Americans suddenly couldn’t pay their bills because they were living paycheck to paycheck.  Now the stage is
set for it to happen again.  Another major recession is going to happen at some point, and when it does millions of people are going to get blindsided by it. Despite all of our emphasis on education, we never seem to teach our young people how to handle money.  But this is one of the most basic skills that everyone needs.  Personally, I went through high school, college and law school without ever being taught about the dangers of going into debt or the importance of saving money.

New Senate bill empowers feds to seize everything you own
JUNE 19, 2017
In the name of fighting terrorism financing, a new U.S. Senate bill threatens to force private corporations to monitor your financial activity and empowers the government to seize all your assets if you fail to comply with the new law.  Even failure to fill out one form is a license for the federal government to take everything you have.  Sponsored by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-

Iowa, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Senate Bill 1241, “Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017,” was introduced last month and represents what some financial experts say is a new assault on cash and digital currencies.  Proponents say it’s needed to fight criminal and terrorist money laundering efforts, yet the banking institutions that will be given orders to look for evidence are themselves the primary architects of the schemes that make this activity profitable on a massive scale.

The Worst Financial Nightmare In Illinois History Erupts As State Comptroller Declares ‘We Are In Massive Crisis Mode’
JUNE 19, 2017
(By Michael Snyder) Margaret Thatcher once said that the big problem with socialist governments is that “they always run out of other people’s money”, and unfortunately we are witnessing this play out in a major way in the state of Illinois right now.  At this point, the Illinois state government has more than 15 billion dollars of unpaid bills.  Yes, you read that correctly.  They are already 15 billion dollars behind on their bills, and they are on pace to take in 6 billion dollars less than they are scheduled

to spend in 2017.  It is the worst financial crisis in the history of Illinois, and State Comptroller Susana Mendoza sounds like she is about ready to tear her hair out in frustration… . “I don’t know what part of ‘We are in massive crisis mode’ the General Assembly and the governor don’t understand. This is not a false alarm,” said Mendoza, a Chicago Democrat. “The magic tricks run out after a while, and that’s where we’re at.” It’s a new low, even for a state that’s seen its financial situation grow increasingly desperate amid a standoff between the Democrat-led Legislature and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

DAYS OF LOT: More courts allowing 3 parents of 1 child
JUNE 19, 2017
Sixteen-year-old Madison’s family clustered for a photo in a California courtroom, commemorating the day it finally became official that she has three parents.  The adults she calls Mom, Dad and Mama were all there for her birth, after the women decided to have a child together and approached a male friend. They shared time with Madison and input on
raising her. Their Christmas Day traditions involve all of them. But legally, Victoria Bianchi became her daughter’s parent only this fall, joining a small but growing number of Americans who have persuaded courts and legislatures to give legal recognition to what’s sometimes called “tri-parenting.” “I just felt like I’ve been holding my breath for the last 16 years,” Bianchi said. “She’s already been my daughter … she’s finally, legally mine.”

Nuclear lab shutdown endangers US arsenal
JUNE 19, 2017
An extended shutdown of the nation’s only scientific laboratory for producing and testing the plutonium cores for its nuclear weapons has taken a toll on America’s arsenal, with key work postponed and delays looming in the production of components for new nuclear warheads, according to government documents and officials.  The unique research and production facility is located at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, the birthplace of the U.S. atomic
arsenal. The lab’s director ordered the shutdown in 2013 after the Washington, D.C., official in charge of America’s warhead production expressed worries that the facility was ill-equipped to prevent an accident that would kill its workers and potentially others nearby.  Parts of the facility began renewed operations last year, but with only partial success.

Atheist Activist Group Takes Issue With Alabama Police Department’s Mix of God With Government
JUNE 19, 2017
A prominent professing atheist group recently sent a letter to officials with a city in Alabama to assert that its police department’s mixture of God with government is unlawful. The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) wrote to the City of Wetumpka on June 7 after learning that its police department hosts a summer community
program at its facility that includes daily devotionals, and offers a monthly dinner with area churches known as “People Extending Christian Kindness.” The dinner is mentioned on the department’s Facebook page, which includes text thanking God or citing Scripture. Some officers also host Bible studies with children on the streets.

Dangerous heat wave to scorch southwestern US through midweek
JUNE 18, 2017
The dangerous heat baking the southwestern United States will not relent its grip on the region through much of the week. This heat wave will challenge all-time records. “Surface temperatures will reach into the 110s F and even 120s F in some places across the region,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Jordan Root said. The high in Phoenix will reach near or hit the
120-degree Fahrenheit mark on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. The city typically experiences a high in the middle to upper 100s during the last half of June. “The highest temperature for any date at Phoenix is 122 set on June 26, 1990,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said. Highs in the 100s will scorch the spine of California’s Central Valley. Even locations as far north as Salt Lake City will approach the century mark by midweek.

Scholar Warns of Texas judge pushing U.S. toward ‘sanctuary nation,’
JUNE 18, 2017
Are sanctuary cities becoming the law of the land in America? At least one analyst thinks so after a federal judge in Texas ruled that the Bexar County sheriff violated the constitutional rights of a Mexican citizen by holding him in jail on an immigration detainer after his criminal charges were dismissed.  The Bexar County Jail regularly honors ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) detainers, which are requests that local jails hold detainees who are set to be
released for an extra 48 hours if the detainees are suspected of being in the country illegally. The 48-hour period gives ICE agents time to get to the jail and apprehend any criminal aliens before they are released back onto the streets. However, Judge Orlando Garcia of San Antonio ruled the sheriff’s office does not have probable cause to hold onto aliens who are not suspected of any crime – other than the crime of illegal entry. He ruled the sheriff violated the plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment right to protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

LGBT Flag adds more colors to recognize individuals of other colors
JUNE 18, 2017
When the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal nationwide two years ago, the White House was illuminated with rainbow lights reminiscent of the pride flag to celebrate.  For Amber Hikes and many others in the LGBT community, the lights were a powerful symbol of a government’s support for a marginalized community that had historically struggled to be recognized, much less openly supported. Now Hikes, a black queer woman, is excited about a new gay-rights symbol: a
pride flag with additional black and brown stripes above the rest of the rainbow. The stripes represent LGBT individuals of color, a group that can often be overlooked within the overall LGBT umbrella. The flag was unveiled at a recent Pride Month kick-off event in Philadelphia as part of a new campaign, More Color More Pride, which aims to recognize nonwhite LGBT communities as part of the broader pride movement,

Iranian and Chinese destroyers hold joint drill in Persian Gulf
JUNE 18, 2017
Iran and China began a joint naval exercise in the Gulf on Sunday, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.
The military drill comes at a time of heightened tension between the Iranian and US military in the Gulf and is likely to be a cause of concern for Washington. In recent months, the US navy has accused the Iranian navy of sending fast-attack boats to harass warships as they pass through the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian destroyer and two Chinese destroyers are
among the vessels that will participate in the exercise, which will take place in the eastern portion of the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, according to IRNA. Some 700 Iranian navy personnel will be participating in the drill.Two Chinese warships docked at Iran‘s Bandar Abbas port to take part in a joint naval exercise in the Gulf for the first time in 2014.

BREAKING NEWS: Iran fires missiles at militant groups in eastern Syria
JUNE 18, 2017
Iran fired missiles on Sunday into eastern Syria, aiming at the bases of militant groups it holds responsible for attacks in Tehran which left 18 dead last week, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported.  Iranian Revolutionary Guards launched the mid-range ground-to-ground missiles from western Iran into the Deir al Zour region of eastern Syria, killing a “large
number” of terrorists and destroying their equipment and weapons, it said.  The missiles targeted the “headquarters and gathering centers of Takfiri terrorists supporting and building car bombs”, it said. Reuters could not independently verify the report. Military leaders and officials in Iran, a predominantly Shi’ite country, often refer to Sunni Muslim radicals as Takfiris.

Growing Wheat Famine Sparks “End of Days” Fears


JUNE 18, 2017
Wheat harvests around the world are falling dangerously short, raising the possibility that the end-of-days famine prophesied in the Book of Amos as preceding the Messiah has arrived. Israel, the tiny nation that has made its deserts bloom, is poised to be a guiding light in this developing crisis, helping the world grow crops while bringing them closer to redemption. Massive shortages in the wheat crop became obvious as farmers recently began harvesting the winter yield.
Winter wheat, accounting for 70-80 percent of the total annual harvest, dropped 38 percent from last year in the US. Prices on wheat futures are soaring as concern grows over where the country’s bread will come from. The shortage in America is part of a global trend. The Ukraine, once considered Europe’s breadbasket, is harvesting 7 percent less than last year, a downward progression that has continued for several years. Overall, European countries and Canada saw a similar drop in the harvest of cereal crops this year.

Secret Catholic Exorcist Cult Making a Deal with the Devil Against Pope
JUNE 18, 2017
Plinio Correa de Oliveira is almost as peculiar in death as he was in life. Dr. Plinio, as he is still known by his devout followers, was a right-wing Catholic figure who founded the ultra-conservative Tradition, Family and Property Association, known in Catholic circles as the TFP.  In the early 1960s, he famously came to Rome to protest the opening of the Second Vatican Council, which sought to modernize the Catholic Church in a changing era. He called such attempts at
renewal “a point in history as sad as the death of our Lord” and handed out propaganda with similar sentiments.In death, Dr. Plinio is said to be in close contact with Satan, who supposedly can be channeled by Brazilian exorcists. He also apparently rules the so-called afterlife to such an extent that his followers are convinced he controls climate change and is working toward the death of Pope Francis, according to Andrea Tornielli, who writes the Vatican Insider blog, and has published a series of articles outlining this saga worthy of a Dan Brown bestseller.

HEADSPINNING
This Secret Catholic Exorcist Cult in Brazil Is Making a Deal With the Devil
The Vatican is looking into a group of exorcists who apparently made a pact with Satan on climate change and the death of Pope Francis.

ROME—Plinio Correa de Oliveira is almost as peculiar in death as he was in life. Dr. Plinio, as he is still known by his devout followers, was a right-wing Catholic figure who founded the ultra conservative Tradition, Family and Property Association, known in Catholic circles as the TFP.
In the early 1960s, he famously came to Rome to protest the opening of the Second Vatican Council, which sought to modernize the Catholic Church in a changing era. He called such attempts at renewal “a point in history as sad as the death of our Lord” and handed out propaganda with similar sentiments.
In death, Dr. Plinio is said to be in close contact with Satan, who supposedly can be channeled by Brazilian exorcists. He also apparently rules the so-called afterlife to such an extent that his followers are convinced he controls climate change and is working toward the death of Pope Francis, according to Andrea Tornielli, who writes the Vatican Insider blog, and has published a series of articles outlining this saga worthy of a Dan Brown bestseller.
By getting rid of Pope Francis, some of the doctor’s followers believe, the way would be open for the Catholic Church to elect a more conservative leader in line with their more traditional practices.
FACEBOOK
Monsignor João Scognamiglio Clá Dias
After Dr. Plinio died in 1995, the TFP broke into two groups. One retains the TFP name and supports the recent claims of dubia or doubts launched against Pope Francis, which are supported by American Cardinal Raymond Burke. The other group, known as the Heralds of the Gospel, was founded by Monsignor João Scognamiglio Clá Dias and allegedly takes part in cult worship.
The extent of Plinio’s supernatural proclaimed by Dias (or at least the extent to which his followers exalt him for that perceived power) is the subject of a new inquiry by the Vatican’s Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life, according to Tornielli.
Specifically, Dr. Plinio’s followers led by Dias are said to be using rogue exorcism practices in which they actually communicate with the devil possessing people rather than chasing him out, as the standard accepted practice in Catholic exorcisms dictates.
According to Catholic sociologist Massimo Introvigne, who has studied Dr. Plinio’s life work, the Heralds of the Gospel form “a sort of secret and extravagant cult,” with its trinity composed of “Plinio Correa de Oliveira, his mother Donna Lucilia, and Monsignor Clá Días himself.”
And that sort of devil worship is understandably a problem for the Catholic Church. On June 12, Clá Dias resigned as head and founder of the Herald of Gospels, although Tornielli says he will stay on in what appears to be a consultant-like role.
"In leaving this assignment I cannot—as I do not wish—before God, to renounce my father's mission,” Dias wrote in his resignation letter, according to Tornielli. “And therefore I will continue to be available to each one, as God made me a living model and guardian of this charism given to me by the Holy Spirit.”
GETTY
The Heralds of the Gospel
Particularly damning for the cult-like group is a series of videos on the internet that show exorcisms using practices not authorized by the Catholic Church. They include purported  conversations between the exorcists and the devil, which is a no-no in standard exorcism procedures. (Yes, exorcism as such remains a staple of the faith and authorized practitioners are not only recognized but recommended by Pope Francis.)
“Woe to the exorcist if he loses himself behind curious questions, which the ritual expressly forbids, or if he lets himself be led into a discussion with the devil as he is the master of lies,” Tornielli says, quoting the words of the Church’s most famous exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth.

In one passage from a video seen by The Daily Beast, Dias asks one of his minions to read from a transcript that was purportedly jotted down by an observer at one of the rogue exorcisms encompassing what appears to be dialogue between the exorcist and Satan.
The conversation was stilted, as one might expect with the struggle for the possessed person’s soul, but the gist was that Plinio was randomly “breaking people's computers so that they can’t go on the internet” and that he is changing the climate and was “therefore the author of the climate change, and the increase of heat. It is Plinio who does everything,” according to the devil as channeled through the exorcist. Then, the devil predicts that a meteorite will crash into the Atlantic ocean. “North America will disappear,” he warns.
The devil then turns to the fate of Pope Francis, which Tornielli was able to transcribe and translate from the somewhat distorted video. “The Vatican? It's mine, mine!” the devil says to the exorcist, according to Tornielli’s transcript. “The pope does whatever I want, he's stupid! He obeys me in everything. He is my glory, he is willing to do everything for me. He serves me.”
Then the devil, again as channeled by the exorcist for the Heralds of the Gospel, predicts that the pope will perish, not during a voyage, but at the Vatican. “The pope will die falling,” the exorcist’s transcript says quite clearly.
While much of the Heralds of the Gospel work seems, well, fanciful at best, the Vatican’s investigation is very serious. The Vatican could censure the group or strip it of the blessings of the Catholic Church, which would likely not actually stop them, but instead just push them farther underground. Or it could try to corral them back into the fold and hope they stop having sympathy for the devil.

4 Ear-Tickling Doctrines You Should Never Tolerate
JUNE 18, 2017
(By J. Lee Grady) Many today are worried about the Zika virus. But I’m just as concerned about certain destructive doctrines that are spreading like an epidemic.  During a recent trip to Uganda, friends there told me of a growing church in the capital city of Kampala that has been infected by the most serious form of American-style “hypergrace” teaching. This church attracts hundreds of young people who like the idea that they can fornicate whenever they want and still be right with God.

False doctrines are nothing new. In the first century, Paul sternly warned Timothy about certain preachers who know how to slice and dice God’s Word to make it fit what people want. He wrote in 2 Timothy 4:3-4: “For the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but they will gather to themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, having itching ears, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn to myths.” The King James Version says the crowds who crave this reconfigured gospel “have itching ears.” The Greek word here, knēthō, can mean “to tickle” or “to itch.” It means that people will gravitate toward teachers who tell them what they want to hear instead of what they need.

DEVELOPING: Explosion rocks shopping center in Colombia Capital, Deaths reported
JUNE 18, 2017
The powerful explosion that rocked a shopping center in the Colombian capital’s tourist district has been called a terrorist attack by Bogota’s mayor. At least three women, including a French volunteer, died in the blast. Several others were seriously injured. Bogota Mayor Enrique Peñalosa has tweeted that three women were killed in the “bomb” blast, and one more remain in serious condition. Peñalosa has called the explosion a “cowardly terrorist attack.”  The explosion targeted
the Centro Andino Mall in the Zona Rosa neighborhood, which is regarded as one of the most luxurious upper-class and tourist districts in Latin America. The blast occurred in the women’s restroom on the mall’s second floor. One of the victims has been identified as a 23-year-old French woman who had spent six months volunteering in Colombia. The woman, who is said to have worked in a poor Colombian neighborhood, was reportedly killed days before her planned return to France.  READ MORE https://www.rt.com/news/392807-colombia-bogota-shopping-mall-blast/

DAYS OF LOT: China hoping to be next Country to accept “Gay Marriage”
JUNE 17, 2017
Chatting excitedly as they try on their Chinese imperial-themed wedding outfits, Ren Weilian and Zhu Tiantian are as nervous as any couple as they prepare to exchange vows in their lesbian marriage.  China does not recognize same-sex unions but that’s not stopping couples like Ren and Zhu from tying the knot in informal ceremonies as the country’s sexual minorities quietly assert their rights.
That push was given a boost when the top court of neighboring Taiwan last month ruled in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, triggering a surge in online chatter among Chinese gays who hope they, too, can someday legally wed. “I feel it’s quite hard to host a same-sex wedding here because there will be many problems. But I just want us to be able to have our own wedding,” said Ren, 26, donning a yellow dress embroidered with phoenix designs.

Over 850 LGBT Activists to Protest Christian Conference Addressing Homosexuality, Transgenderism Struggles
JUNE 17, 2017
Over 850 LGBT activists have signed on to protest a Christian conference that will address same-sex attraction and transgenderism this weekend in San Diego.  The Hope 2017 two-day conference, starting on Friday, is organized by Restored Hope Network, and promises “powerful biblical teaching, dozens of workshops, worship, and inspiring life
stories of those who have dealt with same-sex attraction or transgenderism and been transformed by the living God.” The

LGBT activists, who have set up a Facebook page titled “The Big O’Gay Anti-Conversion Therapy Protest,” argue that so called “gay conversion” therapy “is an abusive and deadly practice that targets LGBTQ youth.” Gina Roberts, a transgender and local Log Cabin Republican Club leader, questioned in a Times of San Diego article how such a conference could be held in California, where therapy for minors aimed at changing one’s sexual orientation is banned.

Court Rules Woman Did Not Suffer ‘Emotional Distress’ From Planet Fitness’ Allowance of Man in Women’s Locker Room
JUNE 17, 2017
The Michigan Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled that a woman did not suffer sexual harassment and emotional distress when her local Planet Fitness allowed a man who identifies as a woman to use the women’s locker room. “Plaintiff’s allegations that defendants’ policy is extreme and outrageous because ‘it would allow men to be present while women are changing, showering, or using the restroom’ and ‘would allow a man to disrobe and be naked with the women

who are also using said facilities’ are insufficient to state a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress,” the court wrote on June 1. “Transgender rights and policies are polarizing issues and each individual may have a feeling on the issue and on what locker room such individuals should be using. Regardless of whether an average member of the community may find the policy outrageous, the fact is that plaintiff did not suffer severe emotional distress as a matter of law,” it concluded.

Steph Curry Says His Team’s Bible Study Helps Them Remember ‘Why We’re Here’
JUNE 17, 2017
Steph Curry, one of the Golden State Warriors’ young stars, says that he and some of his teammates have formed a discipleship group that meets regularly.  Curry says that the group helps the athletes stay focused on their faith. “Every game day we probably have 10, 11 guys show up for the 30-minute Bible study, prayer service, daily encouragement —
that’s the biggest thing,” he said. The Golden State Warriors clenched the NBA championship on Monday. It’s the second time the Warriors have won the championship in the last three years.   “You can get lost in the daily routines and the hype of what we do on the floor and forget why we’re here,” Curry said. Curry also acknowledges that he and his fellow players are tempted in similar ways. He says they rely on one each other for accountability.

FBI Finds ‘Hit List’ On Alexandria Shooter
JUNE 17, 2017
CBN News has confirmed the FBI recovered a ‘hit list’ with several names of Republican congressmen on the body of 66-year-old James Hodgkinson, the Alexandria shooter. Hodgkinson opened fire on dozens of Republican congressmen and staffers at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday. It’s an attack which sent several to the hospital
including two Capitol police officers and Congressman Steve Scalise. The Louisiana republican remains in critical condition at a local hospital. This evidence may prove the fact that Hodgkinson’s attack was not a random crime, but instead a calculated, premeditated political assassination attempt.

UPDATE: Scientists tracking earthquake swarm continuing in northern Yellowstone Park
JUNE 17, 2017
The small earthquake that struck Yellowstone National Park on Thursday night was part of a swarm that has been hitting the area since Monday, scientists say. The quake was centered near West Yellowstone, but was also felt by people in Gardiner and Bozeman. “As of 10 a.m. this morning we had located a total of 235 earthquakes in the area,” said Jamie
Farrell, University of Utah research professor of seismology. Yellowstone gets about 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes every year. About half of those come in earthquake swarms — lots of earthquakes in a small area in a short amount of time.So this activity is fairly normal, Farrell said.

Official Warns Illinois Finances in ‘Massive Crisis Mode’
JUNE 17, 2017
The Illinois official responsible for paying the state’s bills is warning that new court orders mean her office must pay out more each month than Illinois receives in revenue.  Comptroller Susana Mendoza must prioritize what gets paid as Illinois nears its third year without a state budget.  A mix of state law, court orders and pressure from credit rating agencies
requires some items be paid first. Those include debt and pension payments, state worker paychecks and some school funding. Mendoza says a recent court order regarding money owed for Medicaid bills means mandated payments will eat up 100 percent of Illinois’ monthly revenue.

Germany Opening First Liberal Mosque Where Men, Women and Gays Pray Together
JUNE 17, 2017
Seyran Ates’ vision of a liberal mosque where all Muslims can pray together — women and men, Sunni and Shiite, straight and gay — is almost a reality, and the 54-year-old daughter of Turkish guest workers in Germany is ecstatic as she enters the light-flooded room undergoing its final touches.  “I couldn’t be more euphoric, it’s a dream come true,” Ates said with a smile as she touched the white carpet that three Turkish workers were laying out in the freshly painted room. Ates, a

well-known women’s rights activist and lawyer, has fought for eight years to establish a place of prayer for progressive Muslims in Germany where they can leave their religious conflicts behind and focus on their shared Islamic values. The mosque, which opens Friday, will be the first of its kind for liberal Muslims in Germany, Ates said. “This project was long overdue,” she said during an interview with The Associated Press this week. “There’s so much Islamist terror and so much evilness happening in the name of my religion …

Canada Criminalizes Use Of Wrong Gender Pronouns…America Next?
JUNE 17, 2017
Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training. Canada’s Senate passed Bill C-16, which puts “gender identity” and “gender expression” into both the country’s Human Rights Code, as well as the hate crime category of its Criminal Code by a vote of 67-11, according to LifeSiteNews. The bill
now only needs royal assent from the House of Commons to pass into law. “Great news,” announced Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister. “Bill C-16 has passed the Senate – making it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity or expression. #LoveisLove.” “Proud that Bill C-16 has passed in the Senate,” said Jody Wilson-Raybould, the country’s attorney general and minister of justice. “All Canadians should feel #FreeToBeMe.”

ISIS claims responsibility for Jerusalem attack

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem terror attack that killed Border Police officer Hadas Malka on Friday in a message posted by Amaq, the the group’s news agency.  According to sources, this is the first time that Islamic State have claimed responsibility for carrying out an attack in Israel. A message posted by the group stated that “the attack
was carried out by three lions,” and said that the attack “will not be the last.” The attacks occurred simultaneously in two areas near the Damascus gate of Jerusalem’s walled old city. At one scene, two Palestinians were shot dead after opening fire at and trying to stab a group of Israeli police officers, police said. At the other, a Palestinian fatally stabbed a border policewoman before being shot dead by police.

DAYS OF LOT: Army’s transgender policy now includes guidelines on male pregnancies
JUNE 16, 2017
The Army has begun mandatory transgender sensitivity training for soldiers. The training covers everything from “transfemale” soldiers to transgender shower etiquette to dealing with a male soldier who becomes pregnant. Yes, good readers. Within the ranks of the greatest fighting force known to mankind – the baby’s daddy could also be the baby’s momma. Click here to see the photo.  “That pregnancy scenario is beyond words,” Chaplain Alliance for Religious
Liberty executive director Ron Crews told me. “This is an example of how this social policy can be used simply to promote personal agendas at the expense of taxpayers with no regard for being what the military is all about.”  The matter of male soldiers with child is tucked away inside the Army’s “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Soldiers Training Module, Tier 2: Commanders and Leaders.”  One of my readers serving in the Armed Forces was kind enough to send me a copy of the training briefing – mandated during the Obama Administration.

Christian teacher killed by Jihadists in Kenya; Muslim teacher shields other christian
JUNE 16, 2017
Suspected radicals from the al-Shabaab terrorist group reportedly shot dead a Christian teacher at an elementary school in northeastern Kenya. A Muslim teacher tried to save another Christian by offering to sacrifice himself for the other. According to Morning Star News, the attack, which took place on May 31 at Fafi Primary School in Fafi, cost the life of Christian teacher Elly Oloo Ojiema. “The suspected al-Shabaab militants entered the school compound and right away
fired on the teacher who was teaching the pupils,” said a Somali Muslim teacher, who asked not to be named. The source revealed that another Muslim teacher saved the life of Christian teacher Joseph Kamau, who was also about to be killed, by telling the radicals he was ready to die with his colleague. As punishment, both teachers were kidnapped by the radicals.

Why Katy Perry’s Rejection of Her Childhood Faith Should Concern Every Bible-Believing Christian
JUNE 16, 2017
(By Jenna Shackleford) Katy Perry’s intimate conversation about her religious upbringing shows the desperate need for apologetics in the church. Perry, while promoting her newest album, “Witness” — as well as her tour — decided to stage a therapy session and air it on Viceland and Youtube. In the session, she pushed aside “Katy Perry,” which she called a facade, went by the name
“Katheryn Hudson,” which she was born with, and addressed several unresolved issues from her past, including her religious upbringing in a Christian household.  “I grew up with a lot of born-again Christian beliefs around me, and so I had people around me — like-minded people — and I would say it was a bit of a bubble,” Hudson explained. “I was a very curious person, and the curiosity — sometimes it wasn’t allowed because you had to have faith.”

What is causing a Sudden rise in Satanism?
JUNE 16, 2017
(By Billy Hallowell) In recent years, there’s been a bizarre spike in people openly associating themselves with the Church of Satan. You might be wondering what, exactly, would prompt someone to want to be even remotely associated with pure evil. There’s a key detail that some people might be missing after reading the litany of Satanist-themed news stories that have emerged over
the past few years: While many activists call themselves Satanists, a lot of them are effectively atheists.The Satanic Temple is the group that is perhaps most often cited in news stories for its activities urging the separation of church and state and championing abortion rights, among other issues. On the surface, readers might assume that these individuals are somehow theologically aligned with the devil, seeking to worship the dark side in some overt and flagrant way.

How to Raise a Pagan Kid in a Christian Home
JUNE 16, 2017
(By Barrett Johnson) Every imperfect and normal family wants their kids to turn out right. So, we establish goals for character development and try to create an environment where our kids can mature. Church, school, sports teams, family relationships … each of these provides a context where our kids can learn to “love your neighbor as yourself.”  Unfortunately, our “good” objectives might have absolutely nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we inadvertently end up raising pagans instead of Christians.
Too many times, (Christian) parents have it as their goal to make their kids good and moral. It is as if the entire purpose of their family’s spiritual life is to shape their children into law-abiding citizens who stay out of trouble. The only problem with this goal is that it runs in stark contrast to what the Bible teaches. The gospel is not about making bad people moral, but about making dead people alive. If we teach morality without the transforming power of the gospel and the necessity of a life fully surrendered to God’s will, we are raising moral pagans.

Amazon.com Inc.’s AMZN +2.31% purchase of Whole Foods Market Inc. WFM 29.63% isn’t just a $13.7 billion bet that many shoppers still want to buy groceries at physical stores.

fresh food to homes has given Wal-Mart a rare edge over Amazon and breathing room while ramping up its digital business with a string of e-commerce acquisitions and other investments. “I feel great about how we are positioned with 4,700 stores,” Wal-Mart’s e-commerce chief Marc Lore said Friday in an interview. “It’s fun playing offense and I like the fact that we aren’t chasing.”

Amazon to buy Whole Foods in a $13.7 billion takeover deal
JUNE 16, 2017
Shares of Whole Foods Market rocketed 28 percent on Friday after Amazon said it plans to acquire the grocery store chain for $42 a share, in a deal valued at $13.7 billion. Amazon’s offer represents a 27 percent premium to Whole Foods’ closing price on Thursday. With Whole Foods shares trading around Amazon’s offer price, investors appear to be speculating that another suitor could make a play for the grocery chain.
Among those that could potentially make a bid are Wal-Mart, which has been focusing its deal-making on bulking up its digital business, and JAB Holdings, a private equity player that has been shifting its focus to restaurants and food and beverage businesses. Whole Foods has been under pressure from activist investor Jana Partners and money manager Neuberger Berman, which have called on Whole Foods to sell itself. The investors have criticized Whole Foods for its poor performance and have suggested the chain could be merged with another grocer.

A Magnitude 4.5 earthquake and 5 aftershocks larger than M2.5 struck Yellowstone on June 16, 2017, while NASA is flying the world’s largest airborne observatory over the super volcano. Is the Yellowstone supervolcano showing signs of
awakening?  Currently, NASA put’s their SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy), the world’s largest and most sensitive airborne observatory, every day in the air. And if NASA puts its SOFIA in the air it’s important.

Pray These Powerful Decrees Over Your Unsaved Loved Ones
JUNE 16, 2017
(By Dutch Sheets) Jesus came to restore things on earth to God’s plan. He talked about this in Matthew 16 where he said, “I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18b). When He said, “build,” he used the Greek word for “family.” It’s not the word for “building a structure.” It’s the word for “building a family.” It means “to create a lineage or household or a family”. When Jesus chose that word, He was basically saying, “I’ve come to get the family back!” He
was saying, “I’ve come to reverse the fall (of man recorded in Genesis) and, so that Satan won’t have the last word; I have come to redeem. The plan that I established from the beginning will be fulfilled! I’m here to get the family back!” “This is why I have called you Peter (rock): for on this rock I will build My church. The church will reign triumphant even at the gates of hell.” (Matt. 16:18; VOICE).

Radical Islam Growing In Sweden
JUNE 16, 2017
The Swedish security service SAPO says the number of people in Sweden with extremist views has grown to several thousands, mainly among people with sympathies for radical Islam. Its head, Anders Thornberg, says “we have never seen anything like it” and propaganda from the Islamic State group was a key factor.
He says the figure was in the hundreds a few years ago, adding it was “a historic challenge with extremist environments growing.” Thornberg told Sweden’s news agency TT Friday that SAPO gets about 6,000 pieces of intelligence every month, up from 2,000 five years ago. He didn’t go into specifics.

DAYS OF LOT: Drag becomes front and center of American Entertainment!
JUNE 16, 2017
Drag has been around since the days of Dionysus, but no ancient Greek ever sashayed nearly as statuesquely as RuPaul Charles. The world’s most famous and influential drag performer took a long (and still) marginalized art form and used it to create an empire — and in doing so, built a shimmering 30-year-long career as twisted as pop culture itself to become one of the most important LGBTQ icons of our time. That’s why the inimitable RuPaul is the perfect cover star to grace
Entertainment Weekly’s annual LGBTQ special issue, which this year features a reunion with the stars of The L Word, a gay pop preview (including a sneak peek at the Will & Grace revival), and our list of the 25 greatest LGBTQ entertainment moments from the past 25 years. As for the story of RuPaul, it would certainly be enough to hear from Ru himself about all of his grand achievements (like signing on as the first face of MAC’s Viva Glam cosmetics line in 1994, or becoming national TV’s first openly gay host with his VH1 talk show in 1996).

DAYS OF LOT: Serbia’s president formally nominates country’s first openly gay prime minister
JUNE 16, 2017
Serbia’s president on Thursday nominated the highly conservative country’s first openly gay prime minister, a move likely to infuriate both the Christian Orthodox church and ultranationalists.  President Aleksandar Vucic announced that Ana Brnabic, 41, was nominated as the prime minister-designate, which could also make her the first female head of government in the country’s history. Her cabinet needs formal approval by Parliament next week. It was “a difficult

decision reached in the interest of Serbia and its citizens,” said Vucic, a former extremist-turned-reformist who has promised to boost gay rights as part of efforts to move closer to European Union membership.”If elected in parliament, I will run the government with dedication and responsibility and I will do my job honestly and with love,” Brnabic told state Tanjug news agency.

DEVELOPING: Illinois may be first state to file for bankruptcy
JUNE 16, 2017
Illinois residents may feel some solidarity with the likes of Puerto Rico and Detroit. A financial crunch is spiraling into a serious problem for Illinois lawmakers, prompting some observers to wonder if the state might make history by becoming the first to go bankrupt. At the moment, it’s impossible for a state to file for bankruptcy protection, which is only afforded to counties and municipalities like Detroit.
Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection could be extended to states if Congress took up the issue, although Stanford Law School professor Michael McConnell noted in an article last year that he believed the precedents are iffy for extending the option to states. Nevertheless, Illinois is in a serious financial pickle, which is why radical options such as bankruptcy are being floated as potential solutions.

U.S. sending 4,000 additional troops to Afghanistan
JUNE 16, 2017
An additional 4,000 American troops are headed for Afghanistan, a Trump administration official told The Associated Press on Thursday. The forces will join nearly 10,000 U.S. troops embedded in a war-torn country where combat operations technically came to an end in 2014. The Pentagon is hoping the deployment will break a stalemate between
American-backed Afghan forces and Taliban fighters. Defense Secretary James Mattis could officially announce the surge as early as next week, the AP reported. “We are not winning in Afghanistan right now. And we will correct this as soon as possible,” Mattis told the Senate Armed Services Committee earlier this week.

Oregon becomes first state to add third option to driver’s licenses
JUNE 16, 2017
Oregon on Thursday became the first U.S. state to allow residents to identify as neither male nor female on state driver’s licenses, a decision that transgender advocates called a victory for civil rights.  Under a policy unanimously adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission, residents can choose to have an “X,” for non-specified, displayed on their driver’s license or identification cards rather than an “M” for male or “F” for female.
The policy change was cheered by supporters as a major step in expanding legal recognition and civil rights for people who do not identify as male or female. This includes individuals with both male and female anatomies, people without a gender identity and those who identify as a different gender than listed on their birth certificate. The state’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division expects to start offering the option in July.

ISIS leader al-Baghdadi reportedly killed in Russia-led airstrike
JUNE 16, 2017
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday it is checking on information indicating that Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was reportedly killed in a Russia-led airstrike in Syria.  Russian Su-34 aircraft and an Su-35 multirole fighter carried out airstrikes near the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria on May 28, the ministry said. The strikes targeted a meeting of high-ranking Islamic State chiefs where al-Baghdadi was reportedly
present. The meeting was gathered to plan “routes for the exit of militants from Raqqa through the so-called ‘southern corridor’,” the statement read.  “According to information, which is being checked through various channels, IS leader Ibrahim Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi was also present at the meeting and was killed as a result of the strike,” the ministry said in a statement.

Is America Is On The Verge Of Widespread Chaos And Civil Unrest?
JUNE 16, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) Things will never be the same in America from this moment forward. When 66-year-old James Hodgkinson attempted to gun down as many Republican members of Congress as possible at a baseball field in Virginia, he permanently shattered the notion that we could go back to the way that things used to be in this country. At one time, Republicans and Democrats may have strongly disagreed with one another over the issues, but there was always a certain code of civility that everyone
understood and respected. But now that is long gone, and if our politicians and the big media outlets continue to fuel the rising hatred in this country, it won’t be too long before we are dealing with widespread chaos and civil unrest from coast to coast. Most of the anger and frustration that we are currently witnessing is being fueled by the left. On his radio show yesterday, Rush Limbaugh accused the left of openly promoting violence…

Famous scientist’s research confirmed belief in God
JUNE 16, 2017
The “Father of Modern Space Flight” was Wernher von Braun. He acknowledged his debt to the “Father of Modern Rocketry,” American scientist Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945): “Goddard’s rockets … may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles.” As a scientist, Wernher von Braun developed the feared V-2 rocket for Germany’s National Socialist
Workers Party during World War II.  If scientists did not comply with politically correct views, their careers were ended. In May of 1945, as World War II was ending, Von Braun and the other Germany scientists decided to escape to the American side rather than the Soviet Union. Suffering a broken arm during his escape, Wernher von Braun stated: “I myself, and everybody you see here, have decided to go West. And I think our decision was not one of expediency, but a moral decision. We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as …

PROPHECY WATCH: Convergence Of Signs Preparing The Way For “Third Temple”
JUNE 15, 2017
For millennia, it was a scene that would have been unimaginable. Soldiers of the Jewish state, under the banner of the Star of David, crying exultantly, victoriously, “The Temple Mount is in our hands!” It has been 50 years since Israel captured the Temple Mount and Old Jerusalem after brutal house-to-house fighting during the 1967 Six-Day War. Five decades later, the sacred site remains politically explosive, with even the simple act of prayer generating huge conflict.
Yet, the biggest battles undoubtedly lay ahead. Competing claims to sovereignty are always at the center of any negotiations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. More importantly, there is a steady progression of signs indicating Jews are making real progress towards actually building the Third Temple, an act that would have profound geopolitical and spiritual ramifications.

Biometric Hand Scanner Violated Coal Miner’s ‘Mark of the Beast’ Belief


biometric hand system
JUNE 15, 2017
An appeals court ruled Monday that a West Virginia coal mining company interfered with a worker’s religious beliefs after the evangelical Christian likened the company’s biometric hand scanners to clock in and out to the “Mark of the Beast,” as described in the Book of Revelation. A panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit found Pennsylvania-based

Consol Energy Inc. erred in refusing to accommodate 37-year employee Beverly Butcher‘s religious beliefs. The appeals court denied the company a new trial and upheld the roughly $440,000 in lost wage and benefit damages. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Consol on behalf of the the coal miner, who retired under protest in 2012 when the company refused to accommodate his beliefs to not use the hand scanner.

Worm grows strange mutation after space visit
JUNE 15, 2017
There are lots of strange things to discover in space, but flatworms sent to the International Space Station saved the really weird stuff for when they returned to Earth.  That’s when one worm, which had been partially amputated before being launched into space aboard a SpaceX rocket in 2015, grew a second head.  Planarian flatworms are often used in biological studies because of their impressive ability to regenerate parts of their bodies after amputation. A set including both whole

and amputated worms was sent to the ISS for a five-week stay and then evaluated back on Earth for an additional 20 months.  One of the space-flown worms regenerated into a rare double-headed specimen. That’s something the researchers running the experiment from Tufts University say they’d never seen in their combined 18 years of maintaining a colony of more than 15,000 flatworms.

Massive Revival in Syria Keeps Getting Stronger
JUNE 15, 2017
A pastor in Syria is speaking out to note that, despite the tragic mass exodus of Christians in the Middle East, there’s a sizable number of Muslims and religious minorities in the region who are converting to the Christian faith.  A man identified only as “Pastor Simon” told humanitarian group Open Doors USA that he feels God has called him to remain in Syria, despite the ongoing dangers that Christians face there. And while he and his family have been forced to move due to
violence, he continues to work to help those in need. “God is moving and doing great things around us,” he told the organization. Many of the Christians living in his city have fled, dwindling from 900 at the start of the crisis to 310 today. More specifically, the number of evangelical families decreased from 25 to just three, according to Open Doors USA.

Tim Allen’s ‘Last Man Standing’ May Have Just Found a New Home
JUNE 15, 2017
ABC caused a bit of an uproar recently when it made the surprise announcement in May that it would no longer carry Tim Allen’s popular and successful program “Last Man Standing.” Faithwire previously reported on the cancellation, which some concluded was canceled because it was a successful show with strong Christian, conservative themes. The ratings were admittedly strong, even according to ABC execs, leaving fans of the show baffled as to why they decided to part ways.
From Deadline: With a central character who is a political conservative and devout Christian adhering to traditional American values, the blue-collar comedy appeals to viewers in the Heartland, a constituency that helped elect Donald Trump as president and has been energized post-election as evidenced by the ratings success of new USA drama Shooter.  That was also a swath of America ABC had been looking to reflect better, mostly on the drama side, as the network’s entertainment president Channing Dungey has noted this season.

Rep. Bill Johnson Claims Shooter’s Aim Being Off Was an ‘Act of God’
JUNE 15, 2017
Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) is calling it an “act of God” that the shooter who opened fire at a congressional baseball practice Wednesday morning in Virginia did not have better aim. “It had to have been an act of God to throw his marksmanship off because the members were sitting ducks out there,” Johnson, who was at the baseball practice, said
during an interview on Fox News. “Many of them were stationary when the shooting started. But he saw many of those members jump into that first base dugout, and that is why he started working his way around behind the fence.”The shooting Wednesday at a Republican baseball practice in Alexandria, Va., wounded five people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.). Scalise remained in critical condition Wednesday night.

Pastor Wants Revival Service for ‘Side Chicks,’
JUNE 15, 2017
In a crusade against women who sleep with men in committed relationships, known in popular culture as “side chicks,” a pastor in Dallas, Texas, has called for a revival service to “pray for these women that have no value.”  Pastor Tanya Baker who leads The Incredible Church with her husband, Bishop Bobby Baker, launched a formal campaign against the “growing epidemic” of side chicks at nosidechicks.org after a rant she made against the community on Instagram went
viral. “Somebody pray for these women that have no value. Really, really, I just want to have a side chick revival. Like are you with me? I want to have a side chick revival to pray for all the side chicks out there that think they have to sleep with somebody’s …” she said before trailing off in the video clip. At nosidechicks.org, it’s explained that Baker has suffered from the actions of side chicks in previous relationships and she now wants to fight back to save godly unions.

Christian School Fears Bible Verses Will Be Banned Under Canada’s New Human Rights Code
JUNE 15, 2017
Administrators at a Christian school located southeast of Edmonton, Alberta, are concerned that parts of the Bible, specifically those that deal with sexual ethics, could be censored if they’re deemed as offensive speech according to the province’s human rights code. Trustees from the Battle River School Division said that a number of Bible verses were
expected to be included in a handbook for students at the Cornerstone Christian Academy in Kingman, but now they might be banned for potential violations, such as “targeting vulnerable minorities.” The passage in 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, for instance, states that neither “the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Government Leader Demands Christians Must Convert, Pay Taxes or Be Killed
JUNE 15, 2017
A video showing a call for jihad from a senior Iraqi Shi’ite cleric has caused anger among Iraqi Christians. The undated footage shows Sheikh Alaa Al-Mousawi, head of the Shia Endowment, a government body that looks after Iraq’s Shia holy sites, describing Christians as “infidels”, saying “either they should convert to Islam, or else they are killed or they pay the jizya,” which is a tax on non-Muslims. When challenged, Al-Mousawi was reported to have said the video dates back
three years. Other local reports say that the video is more recent. Almost 200 Iraqi Christian families have filed a lawsuit against the government-appointed cleric on charges of “incitement of sectarian violence against Christians.” Meanwhile, Al-Mousawi has sent a delegation from the Shia Endowment to the Babylonian Christian Movement to mediate the lawsuit.

Tensions rise as Hawaii removes scores from homeless camps…
JUNE 15, 2017
After years of complaints, city crews dismantled two of the most volatile homeless camps on Oahu on Tuesday. Business owners in Kapalama and Iwilei say the encampments were havens for drugs and violence. As tents came down, tensions began to rise. Security footage shows a man pushing an officer on Kaumualii Street. Five police officers then piled on top
of him during the takedown. HPD confirms he was arrested for harassment and outstanding warrants. A woman who identified herself as Roxanne was among those who moved out on Tuesday, “I’ll tell you the truth shelter ain’t the answer,” she said. It’s estimated 120 people were living in both neighborhoods combined. Since Thursday, only four have gone into shelter.

Southern Baptists Go ‘Gender-Inclusive’ On Bible
JUNE 15, 2017
The Southern Baptist Convention’s 2017 meeting is underway during a time of crisis and division for the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. Much of the division centers on politics – and at the center of the firestorm is Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). Moore spent last year waging a long and bitter war against President Donald Trump and his supporters, including penning frequent attacks on
the then-candidate in the pages of leftist media outlets like the New York Times. He also condemned Trump’s immigration policies after the president’s election. Even before the rise of Trump, Moore had also been pushing the denomination to support amnesty for illegal aliens, skepticism of Israel and other stands with which most American conservatives would disagree. During last year’s meeting, the Southern Baptist Convention even took time to denounce the display of the Confederate battle flag.

The United States is “overdue” for another spiritual awakening and Christian revival or else it could run the risk of becoming a post-Christian state like many countries in Europe, California evangelist Greg Laurie has opened.   Laurie, an author and senior pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship megachurch in Riverside, California, who hosts evangelistic revival events throughout the U.S., told The Christian Post in an interview before Sunday’s Harvest America in Arizona
that the country is a “nation in crisis” because it has gotten away from its “virtue” created by people who believed in Christ. “We have gotten away from those moral absolutes because we have gotten away from God’s Word and we have gotten away from God Himself,” Laurie warned. “We have a nation in need, a nation in crisis, a nation where the family is breaking down, a naGreg Laurie Warns, What Could Happen If There’s No Spiritual Awakening in America

Porn Addiction Is Eroding Teenagers “Humanity”

Pornography addiction is the “primary erosion of humanity” that the modern generation must actively fight against, says Chris Bruno, a licensed counselor and president of the men’s ministry group Restoration Project.   During a video segment at the Parenting Teens Summit on Wednesday, Bruno emphasized the dangers of pornography that are pervasive in American society. “The whole culture is so inundated with this pornified understanding of the world that we’re all
beginning to relate to one another from a very different perspective,” said Bruno. “This generation, teenagers and young adults right now, this is the primary drug, primary issue, primary erosion of your humanity that this generation is going to face.” Bruno went on to describe a person he is working with whose mind has been “so saturated by pornography” that it harms his public life.

Pop Star Katy Perry’s Christian Evangelist Dad Has a Message for Those Tempted to Judge His Daughter
JUNE 15, 2017
Pop star Katy Perry’s parents — well-known Christian evangelists — are imploring the public to pray for their daughter rather than rebuke her. “I want you to pray for my daughter,” Perry’s father, Keith Hudson, recently said. “Don’t judge her, pray for her.” Hudson’s comments came as he and his wife, Mary, recently spoke at Church Of Grace in Yorba Linda, California, according to CBN News.
It’s no secret that Perry was brought up in a strict Christian home, though she has since drifted away from those beliefs. Despite holding a starkly different worldview from her parents, the singer recently said that they all simply agree to disagree. “The thing about it is, which is such a weird thing, to really understand we agree to disagree, but still with loving space,” Perry told Australian radio show Smallzy Surgery. “We all come from different places …

‘Crash Override’ malware heightens fears for US electric grid
JUNE 15, 2017
The identification of malware tied to a cyber attack on Ukraine last year is putting a renewed focus on threats to America’s electric grid. Security firms ESET and Dragos revealed the malware, dubbed “Crash Override” or “Industroyer,” this week. According to the researchers, the malware is only the second to be tailored to industrial control systems and developed and deployed to be disruptive — the first was the Stuxnet virus that ravaged Iran’s nuclear program years ago.The attack,
which knocked out power in Kiev for about an hour, was one of two targeting Ukraine’s electric grid in recent years. Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, is widely believed to have a connection to both attacks. Experts say the cyber weapon could be deployed against electric infrastructure in Europe and much of Asia and the Middle East and, with slight modifications, could be used against the United States as well.

DAYS OF LOT: Colombia officially recognizes ‘polyamorous’ marriage of 3 gay men
JUNE 15, 2017
A marriage between three gay men has been legally recognized in Colombia’s first official “polyamorous” union.  The the union of actor Victor Hugo Prada, teacher John Alejandro Rodriguez and journalist Manuel Jose Bermudez was made official in Medellin on June 8.  “We wanted to validate our household … and our rights, because we had no solid legal basis establishing us as a family,” Victor told Colombian radio station LAFM. Speaking to Colombian magazine Semana, the
men said the roots of their relationship started in 1999 when Manuel and John first met and began a relationship. That match then grew to include a third person, Alex Esneider Zabala, whom the couple met in 2004. It expanded still further when they met Victor, the youngest in the union, in 2012. The men told Semana that they lived happily in the four-person relationship for several years until Alex tragically fell victim to stomach cancer two years ago.

Billionaires are stockpiling land that could be used in the apocalypse
JUNE 15, 2017
A rising number of American billionaires are channeling their inner Bear Grylls — some in preparation for an apocalyptic event, be it a viral epidemic, nuclear war, or cataclysmic pole shift.  Reid Hoffman, the cofounder of LinkedIn and a notable investor, told The New Yorker earlier this year he estimated that more than 50% of Silicon Valley billionaires had bought some level of “apocalypse insurance,” like an underground bunker. A new article in Forbes suggests the superrich

are making significant land grabs in America’s heartland, where the climate is mild and the locations are conducive to survivalism, farming, and living on the land. States like Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming are home to several fortified shelters and vacation homes where wealthy billionaires could happily live out their post-doomsday (or retirement) days.

Landslides and floods kill 156 in Bangladesh, Death toll could rise
JUNE 15, 2017
Heavy rains have triggered a series of landslides and floods in Bangladesh and neighboring northeast India, killing at least 156 people over two days, and officials warned on Wednesday the toll could rise. Densely populated Bangladesh is battered by storms, floods and landslides every rainy season. The latest casualties come weeks after Cyclone Mora killed at least seven people and damaged tens of thousands of homes.

Landslides hit three hilly districts in Bangladesh’s southeast early on Tuesday, killing 100 people in Rangamati, 36 in Chittagong and six in Bandarban, said Reaz Ahmed, head of the department of disaster management. Fresh landslides on Wednesday killed one person in the district of Khagrachari and two in the coastal town of Cox’s Bazar, he added. The town bordering Myanmar is home to thousands of Rohingya Muslim refugees and was just beginning to recover from Cyclone Mora.

North Korean drone photographed US missile defense site
JUNE 14, 2017
A suspected North Korean drone photographed a U.S. missile defense system in South Korea before it crashed near the border where it was found last week, Seoul’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday.  The finding came four days after North Korea tested new anti-ship missiles in a continuation of weapons launches that have complicated new South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s push to improve ties frayed over the North’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s military said a North Korean soldier walked across the heavily mined border between the countries and defected to the South. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the soldier was being questioned about the reasons for his defection. The drone was found in a South Korean border town last Friday and South Korean investigators have discovered hundreds of photos in its Sony-made camera, a Defense Ministry official said, requesting anonymity because of department rules.

DEVELOPING: UK set for Hottest Summer on Record
JUNE 14, 2017
Britain is about to roast in a 30C (86F) blazing heatwave ahead of what’s being tipped as the hottest summer on record. Temperatures are poised to skyrocket over the next 48 hours as a plume of sweltering air sweeps in from the tropics. The mercury will hit the upper 20Cs (81F) widely across southern Britain and higher in parts with even Scotland and the north
looking at 25C (77F). After a wobbly start to June some experts say this week’s heat blast could herald the start of a record-breaking super summer. Official long-range forecasts suggest above-average temperatures holding out until the start of September. Warmer than normal sea waters around the UK combined with “very high global warmth” are  being cited as drivers.

Vandals Spray-Paint Church With Upside-Down Crosses, Words ‘Devil, Witch Spells’
JUNE 14, 2017
Vandals have spray-painted a Long Island church with upside-down crosses and the words “devil” and “witch spells,” reports state. “It’s just a coincidence that Sunday morning, my message was on love,” Rob Taormina, the pastor of New Covenant Church, told reporters. “Love is patient, love is kind. So we’re going to be patient, and we’re praying for the
individuals and believe in God, that God will touch them.” According to reports, the vandalism occurred either Sunday night or Monday morning under the cover of darkness. The glass on the front door was smashed and words and symbols were spray painted on the exterior walls, doors and steps. Some of the words included “devil,” “witch spells” and “curse,” and hex symbols and upside-down crosses were also painted on the building.

WAR DRUMS
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Passes Sanctions Against Russia for Alleged Election Interference
JUNE 14, 2017
The Republican-led Senate voted decisively to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 election by approving a wide-ranging sanctions package that targets key sectors of Russia’s economy and individuals who carried out cyber attacks. Senators on Wednesday passed the bipartisan sanctions legislation 97-2, underscoring broad support among Republicans
and Democrats for rebuking Russia after U.S. intelligence agencies determined Moscow had deliberately interfered in the presidential campaign. Lawmakers who backed the measure also cited Russia’s aggression in Syria and Ukraine. Despite Russia’s bellicosity, there’s been no forceful response from President Donald Trump. The president has instead sought to improve relations with Moscow and rejected the implication that Russian hacking of Democratic emails tipped the election his way.

Iranian vessel in ‘unsafe’ encounter with U.S. warships…
JUNE 14, 2017
U.S. officials told CBS News on Wednesday that an Iranian warship had shined a spotlight and laser at an American military helicopter accompanying two U.S. Navy vessels sailing through the strategic Strait of Hormuz during the night. Military sources told CBS News national security correspondent David Martin that the incident was considered by the U.S. Navy to have been “unsafe and unprofessional.”  While Iranian military vessels do occasionally test the patience of U.S.
warships in and near the Strait of Hormuz — a vital international waterway through which nearly a third of all global oil shipments sail — this incident was unusual because the Iranian ship involved was part of the regular Iranian navy, not the elite Revolutionary Guard. The two U.S. ships involved were the USS Cole destroyer and the USS Bataan amphibious assault ship, a vessel designed to carry and deploy smaller vessels and helicopters.

Fishermen discover world’s first two-headed porpoise…
JUNE 14, 2017
A group of fishermen accidentally discovered the world’s first two-headed porpoise, but tossed it back into the sea for fear of getting into trouble.  The bizarre animal was picked up by a Dutch trawler near Hoek van Holland, and is the first known case of conjoined twin porpoises. Fearing it would be illegal to keep the specimen, the fishermen took a few quick photographs of the dead creature and threw it back into the ocean.

They have already confirmed that the porpoises died shortly after birth because the tail had not stiffened, which allows newborn porpoises to swim. Both heads also had small hairs on the upper lip, which should fall out shortly after the animals are born. The harbor porpoise is one of the most common cetaceans – a group of marine life which includes whales and dolphins – found in north-west European waters.

Germany to fingerprint 6yo asylum-seekers & monitor messenger apps over terrorism fears
JUNE 14, 2017
The interior ministers of German states agreed that it may be necessary to fingerprint the children of asylum-seekers even as young as six, to combat radicalization. They also greenlighted the potential monitoring of messenger apps.
The nationwide decrease in the age from which fingerprinting children would be legal in Germany, was one of the measures taken this week at the Interior Ministers’ Conference (IMK) in Dresden, which ended on Wednesday. Previously,

children under 14 were not be allowed to undergo the procedure, but the ministers have now agreed to lower the limit to six. The measure was strongly advocated by Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann ahead of the meeting. “In Bavaria, we have abolished the age limit for surveillance,” he said in an interview earlier this month. “Normally, the domestic intelligence agency in Bavaria would not place children under surveillance.

Discovery of Mass Grave of Egyptian Child Slaves Unmistakably Echoes Israelite Exodus
JUNE 14, 2017
An archaeologist in Egypt has discovered a cemetery full of child slaves from the time of the pharaohs, a chilling find which echoes the Biblical account describing the difficulties the Hebrews suffered in Egypt. That finding and several others connect a famous pharaoh and his city to the Biblical narrative describing the Hebrews’ pre-Exodus experience in Egypt.  Archaeologist Mary Shepperson uncovered something entirely unexpected at the archaeological dig at Amarna in
Upper Egypt. After studying the cemetery at the southern end of the ancient ruined city with expected results, she moved to a separate burial site at the northern end. What she found at the new site shocked her: narrow graves containing multiple bodies, buried with little ceremony or care. Altogether, 105 sets of remains were found. But the most shocking discovery was that all of the remains belonged to young people whose bones showed signs of brutal labor and neglect.

Here’s How God ‘Smacked’ Jordin Sparks Back Into Gear After She Strayed
JUNE 14, 2017
Pop star Jordin Sparks revealed the dramatic moment that has reignited her Christian faith, sharing the details with tens of thousands of people assembled for Harvest America at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday night.  Sparks explained that her life was a bit chaotic last year when her aunt and uncle invited her to attend an
Easter morning church service in Los Angeles, where she now lives. At the time, she had no idea that accepting their gesture would be transformational. “There was a lot of crazy chaos going on in my life and I was out partying and I just was hurting and I was trying to figure out what was going on,” she said. “So, I finally go, I get there … when I tell you Jesus met me there last Easter and he reawakened me.”

Leo Varadkar to Be Ireland’s First Openly-Homosexual Prime Minister
JUNE 14, 2017
He is just 38. He is gay. He is the son of an Indian immigrant.  And he’s a sign of how much the Republic of Ireland has changed in recent decades from a conservative nation dominated by the Catholic Church into a multicultural society where you’re as likely to be served a pint of Guinness by a bartender from Latvia as one from Limerick. Leo Varadkar, who was
elected as leader by members of his Fine Gael party on Friday, will take office as Taoiseach — Ireland’s prime minister — on June 13. His election follows the resignation of Enda Kenny, who became Taoiseach in 2011 but came under criticism for his austerity measures and his handling of a series of police scandals. Varadkar came out in 2015, the same year as Ireland became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage by a popular referendum.

Millions of Christians are Gearing Up for June 25th
JUNE 14, 2017
Millions of Christians across the globe are gearing up for the second annual “Global Hymn Sing,” a large-scale effort that will bring together thousands of churches — and potentially more than a million Christians — from over 100 countries. The goal of the June 25 effort is to inspire Christians to be more missional and to increasingly serve others, with participating churches committing to sing a hymn on that day written by famed gospel performers Keith and Kristyn Getty.
“Our desire is to see even more churches come together and unite like never before and to inspire the generations coming behind us to a radical Christian witness,” Keith Getty said in a statement. “If the church isn’t singing about missions, it likely isn’t passionate about it. We want this event to be a catalyst to build deep believers who sing, speak, pray and go for the cause of the Kingdom.”

Gunman Targets GOP Members in Virginia – Multiple Injuries
JUNE 14, 2017
A gunman believed to be a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sprayed a hail of bullets at a GOP baseball practice Wednesday morning, injuring House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others before U.S. Capitol Police took down the rifle-wielding assailant. The shooter, who had a violent history including arrests for battery,
resisting arrest and drunken driving, was identified as 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, of Illinois, Fox News confirmed. President Trump said Hodgkinson died from injuries sustained when he was shot by police. “I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign,” Sanders said in a statement. “I am sickened by this despicable act.

High School Grad Fights Back After School Forces Her to Ax Prayer From Commencement Speech
JUNE 14, 2017
A conservative legal firm is accusing a Pennsylvania school district of “forcing a student to alter her personal graduation remarks to remove any religious viewpoint” — something that the First Liberty Institute said is a violation of the Constitution. The law firm sent a letter to Beaver Area School District in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, detailing purported grievances over a recent commencement speech by a graduate named Moriah Bridges.
Bridges, who was senior class president at Beaver High School, was reportedly asked to offer the closing exercise during her June 2 commencement. But according to First Liberty, Superintendent Dr. Carrie Rowe forced her to “remove all religious references” from the text of her address, including a sectarian prayer. A rough version of the contents of the students speech was shared with Faithwire on Tuesday:

Ready for a Suntan in a pill? New tanning drug for the pale-skinned
JUNE 14, 2017
After 10 years of research, scientists have come up with a drug that could help people tan without exposure to the sun, potentially reducing the risk of skin cancer.  The drug stimulates cells that produce the pigment that absorbs ultra-violet light, the researchers said in the US journal Cell Reports published on Tuesday. They stressed that further tests are needed to safeguard against potential side-effects in humans.
Applied as a cream to the skin, the drug allowed red-haired mice to develop a deep tan. Like their pale-skinned human counterparts, the mice are particularly susceptible to the damaging effects of the sun’s ultra-violet rays. The original breakthrough in mice was announced more than a decade ago, in a study published in the British journal Nature in 2006. But it has taken scientists that much time to work out how to make much thicker human skin absorb the substance.

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake in western Guatemala near the border with Mexico caused moderate damage to homes, triggered some landslides across highways and injured at least one person early Wednesday, officials said. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the tremor was centered 5 miles southwest of Tajumulco, Guatemala about 69 miles below the surface. Guatemala’s emergency coordination agency said the quake struck at 1:29 a.m. local time in the department of
San Marcos west of the capital near the Mexican border, but was felt throughout the country. The country’s National Civil Police said one person was injured in San Sebastian Retalhuelu in southern Guatemala when part of a church collapsed. Julio Sanchez of the volunteer firefighters said the man, who was passing by the church when the earthquake struck, was receiving care.

Is 2017 Going To Be The Worst Retail Apocalypse In U.S. History? – More Than 300 Retailers Have Already Filed For Bankruptcy
JUNE 14, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) Not even during the worst parts of the last recession did things ever get this bad for the U.S. retail industry.  As you will see in this article, more than 300 retailers have already filed for bankruptcy in 2017, and it is being projected that a staggering 8,640 stores will close in America by the end of this calendar year.  That would shatter the old record by more than 20 percent.  Sadly, our ongoing retail apocalypse appears to only be in the early chapters.  One report recently
estimated that up to 25 percent of all shopping malls in the country could shut down by 2022 due to the current woes of the retail industry.  And if the new financial crisis that is already hitting Europe starts spreading over here, the numbers that I just shared with you could ultimately turn out to be a whole lot worse. I knew that a lot of retailers were filing for bankruptcy, but I had no idea that the grand total for this year was already in the hundreds.  According to CNN, the number of retail bankruptcies is now up 31 percent compared to the same time period last year…

DAYS OF LOT: Millennials OK with Ontario LGBT Law that Takes Kids from Parents
JUNE 14, 2017
Almost half of Millennials surveyed indicated they could be open to the idea of government removing children from their home if parents refuse to support their gender identity.  That’s the finding of a new poll by Whatsgoodly, a public opinion company that reaches college students and Millennials with mobile apps. Close to one in five (18%) of 1,400 respondents
answered yes to a recent survey that asked “Should the government remove children from homes where the parents refuse to provide resources for gender transition?” Another 27% said they were unsure. The poll found that women are even more supportive of government intrusion than men: 21 percent said that the government should remove children and 33 percent said they were unsure. The poll did not specify any age restrictions or limits.

Katy Perry’s family pleading for prayers for their daughter
JUNE 14, 2017
The record-breaking pop artist Katy Perry is a far cry from the Jesus-loving preacher’s kid she once was in her teens.  While her parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, who lead a prophetic ministry in California, disagree with their daughter’s decisions, they still choose to love her. They recently spoke at the Church Of Grace in Yorba Linda, California, asking the congregation to pray for her. “I want you to pray for my daughter,” Keith said. “Don’t judge her, pray for her.” Perry, who

recently released a highly suggestive new single called “Bon Appétit, said on Nova’s Smallzy’s Surgery radio show that she and her parents “agree to disagree” when it comes to her music. “The thing about it is, which is such a weird thing, to really understand we agree to disagree, but still with loving space,” she said. “We all come from different places… you can have your belief system, nobody is telling you to not believe your beliefs but you can also come from a space of love. That’s what my family and I exercise all the time.”

SHOCK CLAIM – Russia ‘Hacked’ 39 states to influence election…
JUNE 13, 2017
Russia’s alleged cyber attack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported. In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a
campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said. The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step — complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.”

Mayor Removes Trump Portrait: “We Do Not Live in a Dictatorship”
JUNE 13, 2017
The folks who run the Town Hall in Jackson, Wyoming proudly displayed a portrait of President Obama during his terms in office. But they won’t be extending the same respect to President Trump.  Mayor Pete Muldoon removed portraits of President Trump and Vice President Pence—replacing them with a portrait of Chief Washakie, a renowned Native American warrior. The mayor told me in a lengthy email that he stands by his decision—even though he acknowledged
Trump “won the election under the rules we have in place.” “Dictators like Joseph Stalin required their portraits to be displayed everywhere,” Mayor Muldoon told me. “Luckily, we do not live in a dictatorship.” The mayor said since the town government is a non-partisan body and they do not work for the federal government, there is no requirement to display a picture of the president.

Prophetic Countdown to Messiah Reveals Hidden Connection Between Bible Verses, Hebrew Year
JUNE 14, 2017
ATTENTION: This report does not necessarily reflect the opinions, views, or beliefs of End Time Headlines
A numeric method of matching Bible verses to Hebrew years has led a prominent rabbi in Jerusalem to the discovery that there is a direct correlation between the two which could pinpoint the deadline for the Messiah.  Rabbi Ephraim Sprecher, Dean of Students at the Diaspora Yeshiva and a noted lecturer, recently revealed an amazing method of prophecy that can be accessed by simply reading the Bible. Rabbi Sprecher stated that according to Kabbalah, Jewish esoteric learning, every

year has a corresponding verse in the Torah. According to Rabbi Sprecher, all that is required to find the verse that describes a particular year, whether it is in the past or the future, is to count verses from the beginning of Genesis until the number of verses equals the Hebrew calendar year.  Rabbi Sprecher explained that this is one of the reasons scribes who write Torah scrolls are called ‘Soferim’, which literally means ‘counters’.  Handwriting the sacred scrolls, Torah scribes count the letters and the spaces.

PROPHECY WATCH: Israel Prepares for Massive Earthquake
JUNE 14, 2017
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the launch of a drill this week to improve Israel’s preparedness for major earthquakes.  “I hope there will not be an earthquake in 2017. There are enough earthquakes around us in all senses of the word, but we live adjacent to the Syrian-African rift, and an earthquake can hit at any moment,” Netanyahu said at Sunday’s Israeli cabinet meeting.    Experts have concluded that in an extreme scenario, a massive earthquake in Israel

Revelation: 11:13- In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

could kill as many as 3,000 people and injure 3,800, while leaving 4,200 trapped and 80,000 displaced. In the same scenario, 7,300 buildings would sustain massive damage and 27,000 would be moderately damaged.  Israel has experienced several small earthquakes in recent years. In July 2015, a 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck around the Dead Sea area, but no injuries or damage were reported.

 DAYS OF LOT: Gay Media Promotes 8-Year-Old Drag Queen
JUNE 14, 2017
The new rising star in the gay community is an eight-year-old drag queen named Lactatia.  Backed by his parents, Lactatia, whose real name is Nemis Quinn Melancon Golden, started performing drag at the age of seven.  In an interview with LGBT in the city, Lactatia explains his 14-year-old sister, Kashmyr Luna Higgins, came up with his drag name. “Well, my sister made it up and we all thought that was really funny,” he said. According to a statement provided to Best Kept
Montreal, Lactatia’s parents reveal their son’s “biggest milestone” was when he said he wanted to be “a girl with a penis” when he was “going through a pretty intense Beyonce phase.” Lactatia’s parents, who call themselves “huge allies,” claim they’ve discussed the connection between drag performance and being gay. They claim that despite Lactatia not currently believing he is gay, “Maybe he will in the future? Who knows.”

The guest list included a number of illustrious attendees, several of them Israeli: the chief rabbi of the city of Shoham, Rabbi David Stav; retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Rabbinical Court of Israel Rabbi Abraham Sherman; Anglican priest Todd William Kissam from Maryland; and Co-Chairman of the Muslim–Jewish Friendship Organization in France, Imam Mohamed Azizi.

US could have twice as many Alzheimer’s cases…
JUNE 14, 2017
Alzheimer’s disease begins destroying the brain years before mental deterioration is detected, a new study suggests. This finding means there could be twice the number of people with the neurodegenerative disease in the United States — and worldwide — as currently believed.  Cognitively normal individuals who had elevated levels of a toxic brain protein called amyloid experienced more rapid declines in thinking than those with normal levels. The 445 subjects were followed for as
long as 10 years after their assessment to detect any changes. The median time was 3.1 years, and the subjects’ average age was 74.  The study adds to evidence that Alzheimer’s actually begins years before symptoms appear, said Paul Aisen, M.D., senior author of the study. Aisen directs the University’s of Southern California’s Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute, located in San Diego. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study can be found at j.mp/jamyloid. Aisen is the senior author; Michael Donohue, also of ATRI, is first author.

Daily aspirin behind more than 3,000 deaths a year…
JUNE 14, 2017
Taking a daily aspirin is far more dangerous than was thought, causing more than 3,000 deaths a year, a major study suggests.  Millions of pensioners should reconsider taking pills which are taken by almost half of elderly people to ward off heart attacks and strokes, researchers said. The study by Oxford University found that those over the age of 75 who take
the blood-thinning pills are ten times more likely than younger patients to suffer disabling or fatal bleeds. Researchers said patients of this age who have already suffered heart attacks or stroke should still take the daily tablet, but should also take an extra drug to reduce the risk of bleeding. And they said millions more pensioners who take aspirin daily “as a health choice” to cut their risks of heart disease should consider weaning themselves off the drugs.

From 122 degrees in Death Valley to 100 in Sacramento, heat wave to plague California this week
JUNE 14, 2017
Sweltering heat will plague much of California this week and increase snowmelt along the Sierra Nevada, forecasters said. Starting Thursday, a heat wave will grip the mountains, deserts, valleys and major cities for several days as temperatures soar into the 90s and 100s. Because temperatures will be 15 degrees above normal across the state, forecasters urged Californians to stay indoors and keep cool to prevent any heat-related illnesses. So far, the warm weather hasn’t triggered
any heat advisories or warnings. As the mercury climbs in Sacramento County, much of the area will remain dry, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento. Temperatures could reach 105 in Redding and Marysville, and 104 in Chico, Stockton and Sacramento on Saturday. Along the Sierra Nevada, the weather has been a bit topsy-turvy.

Popular Boy Band Star: I ‘Dabbled in the Occult,’ ‘Danced With the Devil’
JUNE 13, 2017
A popular boy band star recently opened up about his history with the occult and devil worship before he came to Christ. “I dabbled in the occult and was dancing with the devil, and doing all sorts of negative things looking for escape from myself,” Shane Lynch of Europe’s Boyzone recalls. The band broke up in 2000, and Lynch found himself in a dark place. “I
always need to get that high and buzz from risk. Driving crazy cars at high speeds—I’ve just driven one at 200 mph for supermodel Jodie Kidd—and risking my [expletive], is pretty much up there with the thrill you get from walking out on stage. It’s mind-blowing,” Lynch says.

Signs of past ‘mega-quakes’ show danger of Big One on San Andreas fault…
JUNE 13, 2017
As Interstate 10 snakes through the mountains and toward the golf courses, housing tracts and resorts of the Coachella Valley, it crosses the dusty slopes of the San Gorgonio Pass.  The pass is best known for the spinning wind turbines that line it. But for geologists, the narrow desert canyon is something of a canary in the coal mine for what they expect will be a major earthquake coming from the San Andreas fault. The pass sits at a key geological point, separating the low desert
from the Inland Empire, and, beyond that, the Los Angeles Basin. Through it runs an essential aqueduct that feeds Southern California water from the Colorado River as well as vital transportation links. It’s also the path for crucial power transmission lines. California earthquake experts believe what happens at the San Gorgonio Pass during a major rupture of the San Andreas fault could have wide-ranging implications for the region and beyond.

Ramadan prayers at site of Virgin Mary statue trigger outrage in Spain
JUNE 13, 2017
A Muslim prayer gathering at the site of a Virgin Mary statue has sparked outrage among politicians in the Spanish city of Granada, with a far-right party calling on Catholics to respond with a “night of prayer” at the same site.  The controversial gathering took place on Saturday evening, when dozens of Muslims prayed together in Jardines del Triunfo (Gardens of
Triumph) park before breaking their daily Ramadan fast. Although the event was sanctioned by City Hall and welcomed by Mayor Francisco Cuenca as an act promoting Granada as a “city of co-existence and tolerance,” others took issue with the chosen location, because Jardines del Triunfo is the site of a Virgin Mary statue which is cherished by Catholics in the city. Several politicians took to Twitter to express their outrage, including MP Luis Salvador.

Katy Perry Breaks Down in Therapy; Talks God Saving Her From Suicide, Christian Upbringing
JUNE 13, 2017
ATTENTION: The following report does not reflect the personal opinions, views or expressions of End Time Headlines. 
Singer Katy Perry launched a marathon weekend of live stream events starting Friday with the release her new album, Witness, and during a live therapy session on Saturday she tearfully talked about her Christian upbringing, feeling “ashamed” of having had suicidal thoughts in the past and God’s grace helping her through.  During her session with Siri Singh from the Viceland series, “The Therapist,” Perry opened up about her struggles with her public persona as Katy
Perry and who she really is — Katherine Hudson (her birth name). She claimed that she was living “under this crazy microscope” and because of it, is always challenged to be her authentic self. “I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson that I don’t even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes — and, like, that is a little bit of why I cut my hair because I really want to be my authentic self,” she explained.

Official Warns Presbyterians Must ‘Tread Lightly in Criticizing Prosperity Gospel,’
JUNE 13, 2017
An official with the Presbyterian Church (USA) has cautioned that Presbyterians should “tread lightly when criticizing the prosperity gospel.”  Preached in some megachurches and televangelist ministries, the prosperity gospel is the belief that material wealth is gained by those who are especially faithful to Jesus.  The Rev. Charles Wiley III, associate director of theology, formation and evangelism for the Presbyterian Mission Agency, explained in a column published Thursday that
the prosperity gospel “is a dangerous heresy because it is so close to the truth.” “There is a tension in Scripture. Those who are faithful will often be blessed, often in outward ways. And those who are faithful will suffer, sometimes in outward ways,” wrote Wiley for the Presbyterian Mission Agency. “God is not obligated, is not forced, to give us material blessing simply because we say it out loud. How else can we make sense of Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane where Jesus asks that the cup of suffering be taken from him? It is not.”

Children of 21 Martyred Fathers Showed What It Means to Die for Christ
JUNE 13, 2017
The children of the 21 Coptic Christians beheaded by the Islamic State terror group in Libya back in February 2015 have said that they are “proud” of the courage their fathers showed the world by refusing to renounce their faith.  Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, which has been assisting the families of the murdered men in Egypt, said in an update at the end of last week that the children of the victims have been emboldened by their fathers’ sacrifice. “The great news
about the families of the martyrs of Libya is that even after more than two years they still live in the condolences of the Holy Spirit and they stick to their faith that their martyrs showed to the whole world; how the real Christian should live and die for the glory of Christ,” the Focus on the Family Middle East team reported.  “While we have been visiting the families regularly we met with some of the wives of the martyrs and asked them about their kids and how they live right now, a common answer was,

Read the Powerful Journal Entry a Missionary Teen Wrote Moments Before Dying in a Tragic Bus Crash
JUNE 13, 2017
17-Year-Old Sarah Harmening wasn’t exactly feeling it while riding on a bus en route to a short term mission trip in Africa last week.  “I was just sitting here on the bus, feeling a little sad. I guess because I’m going to be gone so long and I was a little uncomfortable,” she wrote in her journal.  That’s when she decided to read her Bible, and it changed her entire perspective. “We get to participate in his divine nature! I mean, how awesome is that? So mostly, I was just reminded of

why I’m here and that God has called me here and he’s do so for a reason. So I know he’s going to do incredible things.” Moments after she finished writing, the bus she was traveling in got into a violent collision and flipped over, ultimately claiming her life. The journal entry provides a window into the soul of a teenager with a very strong faith, and is providing her grieving parents and friends with some comfort in a difficult time, knowing just how close she was to God before passing.

Atheists Demand Town Remove These Decades-Old ‘Welcome’ Signs
JUNE 13, 2017
A battle is brewing over two signs that are posted in the city of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin after an atheist activist group demanded their removal and an opposing legal firm pushed back in an effort to keep them in place. The two signs in question read, “The Churches of Oconomowoc Welcome You.” The mention of churches on government property led the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist activist group, to send a letter to Mayor David Nold in May, demanding
their removal. Atheists argued that the signs favor Christianity. The FFRF said that it was acting after a concerned resident complained about the signs — which were reportedly posted at least 50 years ago — and will consider litigation if Nold doesn’t take action to remedy the alleged Constitutional violation.  “The First Amendment ‘mandates governmental neutrality between religion and religion, and between religion and non-religion,’”

Iran blames U.S. for regional instability and creation of Islamic State
JUNE 13, 2017
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday blamed the United States for instability in the Middle East and said Washington’s fight against the Islamic State militant group was “a lie”. “You (the United States) and your agents are the source of instability in the Middle East…who created Islamic State? America … America’s claim of fighting against Islamic State is a lie,” Khamenei said in a meeting with high-ranking Iranian officials, according to his official website.
Iran and the United States cut diplomatic ties shortly after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution and enmity to Washington has long been a rallying point for hardline supporters of Khamenei in Iran. Khamenei has made several statements denouncing the United States since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, while U.S. President Donald Trump has spoken out against Iran in harsh terms since taking office, indicating that he will reverse the previous administration’s attempts at rapprochement with Tehran.

Bomb Threats Shut Down 3 Los Angeles Synagogues on Sabbath
JUNE 13, 2017
A series of “online bomb threats” closed down three synagogues in Los Angeles on Shabbat morning, according to a report by the Jewish Journal. The affected synagogues were University Synagogue in Brentwood and the Glazer and Irmas campuses of Wilshire Boulevard Temple.  All three were closed shortly after 8 am, according to Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD) Officer Mike Lopez, who said police cleared all locations to reopen at 12:45 pm after K9 units responded to check the sites. The threats came in through email and online submission forms. A staff member at University Synagogue “found an email that was beyond nasty,” Rabbi Morley T. Feinstein told the Jewish Journal, “horrific language, and threatening” in the synagogue’s email account. Executive director Lisabeth Lobenthal called LAPD.

Youth Pastors Issue Dire Warning About ‘Child of the Devil’ Infiltrating Homes
JUNE 13, 2017
More than a dozen church leaders signed a letter warning parents that the “child of the devil” may be entering their households. “Kind Van De Duivel,” translated to mean “Child of the Devil” is a popular Dutch rap song that’s quickly become an earworm among children and teens. “I’m a child of the devil/Mum, you don’t have to cry/Partying, like every day is my last/I hope you turn this song on at my funeral,” a translation of the lyrics read.
Niels Koerssen, a youth pastor in the Reformed Church Vriezenveen, says primary school children are even singing the popular tune. In the letter, the church did not ask for parents to ban the song or “ask children to keep out of the world we live in.” Rather, the leaders wanted to make parents aware the lyrics contained “many wrong ideas and encouraged the wrong sort of behavior.”

DAYS OF LOT: 2017 May Be the ‘Year of the Transgender Candidate’
JUNE 13, 2017
Virginia native Danica Roem is running for a seat in her state’s House of Delegates. Should she emerge victorious from the June 13 Democratic primary, the 32-year-old would challenge longtime Republican incumbent Bob Marshall to represent Virginia’s 13th district and become the first openly transgender representative in the chamber. A win in the general
election would also make Roem the third openly transgender state legislator to ever hold office in the U.S., and one of only a few openly trans elected officials in the world. “There is no reason why a transgender person should feel disqualified from office because of who they are,” Roem told NBC Out. “Transgender people have as much right to bring their public policy ideas to the table as much as anyone else.”

Astronomer claims Alien life will be discovered in 10 to 15 years
JUNE 13, 2017
Alien life could be discovered within the next two decades – but, these lifeforms will be far from intelligent beings, one expert claims. According to astronomer Chris Impey, scientists are likely on the verge of detecting microbes on a planet beyond our own, with nearby candidates such as Jupiter’s moon Europa thought to contain some of the conditions to support life. While scientists have been searching the skies for decades, the expert says we may now detect microbial life in
the next 10 to 15 years, especially as forthcoming instruments such as the James Webb Telescope promise to improve our chances.‘I put my money on detecting microbial life in 10 to 15 years, but not at all detecting intelligent life,’ Impey, professor and deputy head of the department of astronomy at the University of Arizona, said in a recent interview with Futurism.

ISIS Calls For Ramadan Attacks In US and Europe

The Islamic State group is calling on supporters to carry out attacks in the United States and Europe during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that began two weeks ago. In an audiotape circulated online Monday, spokesman Abu al-Hassan
al-Muhajer praised last week’s attacks in Iran’s capital, saying the country is “weaker than a spider’s web” and calling for more assaults. Al-Muhajer also called for attacks in Russia and Australia, saying “heaven is reached under the shadow of swords.” IS has called for attacks during Ramadan in the past.

LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS: Alleged Apparition of Virgin Mary Appears Above Shrine
JUNE 12, 2017
Worshippers believe the Virgin Mary appeared in the clouds above a shrine right on cue yesterday after a teenage boy was told to expect a vision of Our Lady. Crowds of people gathered at Knock Shrine in County Mayo, Ireland, at 3pm on Saturday, expecting to see a vision of the Virgin Mary. They headed to the shrine after a Portuguese traveller boy, 14, told
his family how our Blessed Lady and others appeared to him in a vision during a visit to Fatima in May. Millions of people believe the Virgin Mary appeared at Knock in 1879. Yesterday, thousands waited once again, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Initially, it seemed she had failed to appear – but now a video has emerged on social media showing what worshippers claim is the Virgin Mary in the clouds above the shrine.

MA Elementary School Principal Announces to Parents That She Is ‘Transitioning’ Into Man
JUNE 12, 2017
An elementary school principal in Massachusetts recently sent an email to parents to announce that she is in the process of “transitioning” into a man.  Asa Sevelius, 45, has worked as the principal of Heath School for the past three years—a public institution that serves children pre-k through the eighth grade. On Wednesday, Sevelius sent an email to parents to advise that she is undergoing treatments to become masculine.  “Dear Heath Community, I am writing to all of you to share some powerful news about me,” the correspondence read. “I am transgender.” She told WBUR Radio that she made
the announcement as she wants to “make sure that my community, as much as possible, is a part of [the transition] process.” “I work with almost 600 kids every single day and I need them to not exist in some weird, confusing place, but to really be able to be brought along in a way that is developmentally appropriate for them and not to be surprised when changes to my body occur—my voice deepens, for example, or I’m suddenly able to have a mustache when I’m greeting them at the front door,”

North Carolina County Approves Resolution Recognizing ‘Month of Ramadan’
JUNE 12, 2017
Commissioners over one county in North Carolina have approved a resolution recognizing June as the “Month of Ramadan.” The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners adopted the resolution on Tuesday, with six in favor and three against.  “Ramadan is a sacred time that commemorates the revelation of the Quran to the prophet Mohammad, and encourages fasting, prayer, reflection, God consciousness and gratitude,” the resolution reads. “[E]ach day of fasting
teaches the soul to struggle with the self, persevere, be patient and to forgive and love.” It asserts that Islam is a part of America’s history and that Muslims should be recognized for their contributions. “Ramadan reminds us that Islam has always been a part of America and Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country, including those made by the famous Muslim scholar Omar Ibn Said, who was enslaved and brought to the Carolinas in 1807,” the resolution states.

Israel approves largest West Bank settlement construction in 25 years
JUNE 12, 2017
Israel has greenlighted plans for over 8,000 new homes in the West Bank, with over a third for “immediate” construction, the defense minister revealed on Sunday, making it the largest expansion of Jewish settlements in the area in 25 years. According to Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, 3,651 settlements were approved last week, Haaretz reports.
The minister noted that “What we’ve approved on June 6 and 7 is the maximum that can be approved.” Plans for 8,345 new housing units have been approved by the Israeli authorities so far this year, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency writes, citing Liebermann. Out of these, 3,066 have been given final approval and will soon be built. “The numbers for the first half of 2017 are the highest since 1992,” Lieberman said, as cited by local media and news agencies.

Franklin Graham Warns that Ontario’s Anti-Parent LGBT Law Could Come to U.S.
JUNE 12, 2017
Christian humanitarian and evangelist Franklin Graham says the U.S. should be “on guard” after lawmakers in Canada’s largest province passed a law that pits Christian parents against LGBTQ interests. “Can you imagine having the government take your child away from you if the children decided they felt like switching their gender identity and you
disagreed?” Graham said on Facebook. He called the law “totalitarian and oppressive” and said it goes against science, Scripture and common sense. The Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act, also known as Bill 89, replaces Ontario’s previous law dealing with child protection, foster care and adoption. It redefines the “best interests of the child” to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

Will God Judge You on How You Treat Your Body on Earth?
JUNE 12, 2017
(By Dale Fletcher) Will God someday judge and reward you accordingly as to how you cared for your body during your life on earth? I believe He might. This is a topic I’ve never explored or written about, but it came to me when I was spending time with God this morning. The Bible tells us in several places that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Jesus (2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 22:12; Rom. 14:10 and Eph. 6:8).
“For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive his recompense in the body, according to what he has done, whether it was good or bad” (2 Cor. 5:10). We will be held accountable for the good and the bad things that we have done, or not done, in our lifetime. This judgment is not to determine where we will spend eternity—in heaven or in hell—but this will be to determine the rewards that believers will receive for all eternity in heaven.

Violent Venezuela Begs Pope Francis for Intervention on Behalf of Children
JUNE 12, 2017
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Sunday he would ask Pope Francis to persuade opponents that children should not participate in violent protests that have rocked the country, as both sides of the conflict seek help from the Catholic Church. Young teenagers wearing face masks and throwing rocks are a common sight at anti-government protests that have roiled the capital, Caracas, since April. At least six of the 67 people killed in the protests were under 18.
Maduro said opposition parties were “training children for terrorist groups,” using his preferred terminology for the protesters he says are intent on overthrowing the government of the oil-producing nation. “I am going to ask Pope Francis to help us so the opposition end the violence, but more than anything to stop looking for children to involve in violent acts,” he said on a weekly television broadcast.

Two billion people across the world are obese – with one in four battling fat-related diseases
JUNE 12, 2017
More than a quarter of the planet’s population is suffering from fat-related health problems, a damning report warns.  And four million people died in 2015 as a direct result of being too tubby. Around 2.2 billion people – 30 per cent of the total global population – were found to be too fat. The majority of these were ill as a result. Levels of obesity have doubled in
more than 70 countries since the 80s, according to the major study in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the UK, a quarter of adults are obese – with a body mass index (BMI) over 30. It compares to just one in 35 in the 70s. And one million British kids are also dangerously fat, around eight per cent. Being too heavy increases the chances of type 2 diabetes, heart, liver disease and several common cancers.  Experts said the findings reveal “a growing and disturbing global public health crisis”.

DEVELOPING: Tech Selloff Goes Global…
JUNE 12, 2017
Shares of technology companies fell around the world Monday, extending Friday’s steep declines in the U.S. giants that had been driving this year’s stock-market gains.  The tech-heavy Nasdaq Co mposite fell 0.8%. The S&P 500 lost 0.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 70 points, or 0.3%, to 21202. Apple shares lost 2.6%, Google parent Alphabet fell 1.2%, Facebookdropped 1.1% and Amazon.com lost 1.2%. Shares of those companies each fell 3% or more Friday.
Several large tech companies have led this year’s rally, prompting concerns that major indexes’ gains have been overly concentrated in a handful of stocks. Tech shares in the S&P 500 have climbed roughly 17% this year, while the Nasdaq has risen 15%.  Analysts have cited a series of critical research notes of big-name players like Apple as the trigger for the selloff, but after the run-up, the sector “was ripe for a pullback of some sort,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Janney.

Georgia family loses everything in a fire, except a Bible
JUNE 12, 2017
God works in mysterious ways. At least, that’s what one Glynn County family believes after they lost everything in a fire, except a Holy Bible.  The fire happened on Belle Point Parkway in Brunswick, Ga. last Friday. A family friend, Stephanie Levy, said Rachel was living at the residence with her aunt and uncle, Carol and Phil Reese, while she attended college. According to Levy, the aunt woke up to a loud noise that day. When she went to check it out, she found the back porch
engulfed in flames. The house was at a total loss. Fortunately, no one was injured, but it claimed the lives of one dog, two cats and a kitten.  It also destroyed all of their belongings, except for Rachel’s Bible, a gift from her mom when she graduated high school, Levy said. “The firefighter recovered it,” Levy said. “It was in her room. He showed it to her. She was amazed by that… She was very moved by that.”

JUNE 12, 2017
Tens of thousands of Christians flocked to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday night for Harvest America, an event aimed at spreading the gospel and positively impacting a “nation desperately in need of hope.” Harvest America events, spearheaded by Pastor Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside and Irvine, California, have long been known for their massive impact on attendees. And this year was no exception.
According to a preliminary report, 38,000 people attended the stadium in person on Sunday night. Among them, 2,904 people “indicated their decision to follow Jesus Christ” at the event. Photos published on the Harvest America Facebook page show the stunning scene that unfolded when thousands of people flooded to the front of the stage to either accept Christ or rededicate themselves to the Christian faith:

Watch Out For Those Who Prostitute the Prophetic
JUNE 12, 2017
(By Jared Laskey) Balaam was once a prophet. The Old Testament Scripture reveals he had known Yahweh, speaking on His behalf. He knew the covenant promises of God and was anointed. But he went astray. Knowing that he had a great spiritual gift, he adopted the pagan practices of requiring money before giving oracles. Speaking about false prophets, 2 Peter 2:15-16 says, “They have forsaken the right way and have gone astray. They follow the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of
wickedness, but who was rebuked for his iniquity. The mute donkey speaking with a man’s voice constrained the madness of the prophet.” Balaam’s error is the selling of prophecies, which I call the prostitution of the prophetic. This is when someone starts off hearing the word of the Lord but then begins charging fees, falling into divination (Jude 11; 2 Pet. 2:15-16). It is when dream interpretations are given for a fee and money is mandated in exchange for prophecies, following Balaam’s error. Payment for prophecies is not related to the common practice of ministry offerings.

Legendary Investor Jim Rogers Warns That The Worst Stock Market Crash In Your Lifetime Is Coming ‘This Year Or Next’
JUNE 12, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) If Jim Rogers is right, the worst stock market crash that any of us has ever seen is right around the corner.  For the past 15 years, Rogers has been a frequent guest analyst on CNBC, Fox News and elsewhere, and he is immensely respected for the depth of knowledge and experience that he brings to the table.  So the fact that he is warning that we are about to see the worst stock market crash in any of our lifetimes is making a lot of waves in the financial community.  And of course Rogers
is far from alone.  Previously, I have written about several other prominent experts that are warning that a new financial crisis is imminent, and I have also discussed how a number of big investors are quietly positioning themselves to make an enormous amount of money when the markets crash.  Could it be possible that all of these incredibly sharp minds could be wrong?  Yes, but I wouldn’t bet on it. I was actually quite stunned when I first learned what Jim Rogers had told Henry Blodget of Business Insider during a recent interview.

New York Times Advises Parents How to Raise ‘Feminist Boys’
JUNE 12, 2017
The New York Times is dispensing parenting advice in its latest identity politics piece all about raising “feminist sons.” “We raise our girls to fight stereotypes and pursue their dreams, but we don’t do the same for our boys,” writes columnist Claire Cain Miller. “They’re discouraged from having interests that are considered feminine. They’re told to be tough at all costs, or else to tamp down their so-called boy energy.” Miller reached out to “experts” for her piece, including rabid
feminist Gloria Steinem, and featured her dastardly quote: “I’m glad we’ve begun to raise our daughters more like our sons, but it will never work until we raise our sons more like our daughters.” “That’s because women’s roles can’t expand if men’s don’t, too,” Miller explains. “Men are falling behind in school and work because we are not raising boys to succeed in the new, pink economy.” “Skills like cooperation, empathy and diligence — often considered to be feminine —

SHOCK CLAIM – Russia ‘Hacked’ 39 states to influence election…
JUNE 13, 2017
Russia’s alleged cyber attack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported. In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a
campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said. The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step — complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.”

Children of 21 Martyred Fathers Showed What It Means to Die for Christ
JUNE 13, 2017
The children of the 21 Coptic Christians beheaded by the Islamic State terror group in Libya back in February 2015 have said that they are “proud” of the courage their fathers showed the world by refusing to renounce their faith.  Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, which has been assisting the families of the murdered men in Egypt, said in an update at the end of last week that the children of the victims have been emboldened by their fathers’ sacrifice. “The great news
about the families of the martyrs of Libya is that even after more than two years they still live in the condolences of the Holy Spirit and they stick to their faith that their martyrs showed to the whole world; how the real Christian should live and die for the glory of Christ,” the Focus on the Family Middle East team reported.  “While we have been visiting the families regularly we met with some of the wives of the martyrs and asked them about their kids and how they live right now, a common answer was, READ MORE http://www.christianpost.com/news/children-of-21-beheaded-coptic-christians-proud-fathers-showed-what-it-means-to-die-for-christ-187511/

LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS: Alleged Apparition of Virgin Mary Appears Above Shrine
JUNE 12, 2017
Worshippers believe the Virgin Mary appeared in the clouds above a shrine right on cue yesterday after a teenage boy was told to expect a vision of Our Lady. Crowds of people gathered at Knock Shrine in County Mayo, Ireland, at 3pm on Saturday, expecting to see a vision of the Virgin Mary. They headed to the shrine after a Portuguese traveller boy, 14, told
his family how our Blessed Lady and others appeared to him in a vision during a visit to Fatima in May. Millions of people believe the Virgin Mary appeared at Knock in 1879. Yesterday, thousands waited once again, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Initially, it seemed she had failed to appear – but now a video has emerged on social media showing what worshippers claim is the Virgin Mary in the clouds above the shrine.

Pence Tells Christians Trump Is ‘Fighting Hard’ for Them
JUNE 12, 2017
Vice President Mike Pence is reiterating the support of President Donald Trump for the causes dear to Christian conservatives, saying in a speech that the 45th president will “never stop fighting” for them. Gathered before hundreds at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, D.C. Saturday evening, the vice
president mentioned that President Trump carried states in the 2016 election that had not been won by a Republican in a generation, having turned the Democrats’ “blue wall red.” And Christian conservatives were an indispensable part of his electoral victory in those states and elsewhere, he noted. Trump, Pence said, will “never stop fighting for the values and ideals that make this nation great.”

3 Signs You Might be a Lukewarm Christian
JUNE 12, 2017
(By Christina Patterson) My hair was styled, my church clothes on, and makeup done. I was ready for Sunday morning service. I recently purchased a new lipstick color and was excited to have a good reason to try it out. It was called “Sangria” and was a deep purple that complemented my completion and gave me a boost of confidence.  I attended church with my head held high, shoulders back, and a polite smile on my face. Sometimes a new lip color can do that for a woman. Until I took a quick trip to Target
to pick up a few items. In the clothing department I happened to catch my reflection in one of the mirrors and there it was, quickly ridding me of all the confidence I once had. On my front tooth was a steak of “Sangria” deep purple lipstick. The horror! I quickly thought back to every person I confidently smiled at just earlier in Church. Did they see this? Did they see it and also not say a word to enlighten me about it? I went through an entire Sunday service assured in my polished ensemble only to face the fact that there was a big purple glob of lipstick on my tooth tarnishing my entire look.

North Carolina County Approves Resolution Recognizing ‘Month of Ramadan’
JUNE 12, 2017
Commissioners over one county in North Carolina have approved a resolution recognizing June as the “Month of Ramadan.” The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners adopted the resolution on Tuesday, with six in favor and three against.  “Ramadan is a sacred time that commemorates the revelation of the Quran to the prophet Mohammad, and encourages fasting, prayer, reflection, God consciousness and gratitude,” the resolution reads. “[E]ach day of fasting
teaches the soul to struggle with the self, persevere, be patient and to forgive and love.” It asserts that Islam is a part of America’s history and that Muslims should be recognized for their contributions. “Ramadan reminds us that Islam has always been a part of America and Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country, including those made by the famous Muslim scholar Omar Ibn Said, who was enslaved and brought to the Carolinas in 1807,” the resolution states.

MA Elementary School Principal Announces to Parents That She Is ‘Transitioning’ Into Man
JUNE 12, 2017
An elementary school principal in Massachusetts recently sent an email to parents to announce that she is in the process of “transitioning” into a man.  Asa Sevelius, 45, has worked as the principal of Heath School for the past three years—a public institution that serves children pre-k through the eighth grade. On Wednesday, Sevelius sent an email to parents to advise that she is undergoing treatments to become masculine.  “Dear Heath Community, I am writing to all of you to share some powerful news about me,” the correspondence read. “I am transgender.” She told WBUR Radio that she made
the announcement as she wants to “make sure that my community, as much as possible, is a part of [the transition] process.” “I work with almost 600 kids every single day and I need them to not exist in some weird, confusing place, but to really be able to be brought along in a way that is developmentally appropriate for them and not to be surprised when changes to my body occur—my voice deepens, for example, or I’m suddenly able to have a mustache when I’m greeting them at the front door,”

Indiana mom sues principal, teacher after son ‘forced’ to recite Pledge of Allegiance
JUNE 12, 2017
An Indiana mom filed a lawsuit on Friday against an elementary school teacher and principal for allegedly forcing her son to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.  Jamie Porter said her son’s first grade teacher removed the boy from class when he refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance back in March, according to Fox 59. The lawsuit, filed by the ACLU on behalf of the family, alleged that the boy refused to recite it because he was “protesting” the government.  “He was doing it to
protest the government of the United States, as it was racist, greedy and does not care about people,” the lawsuit stated.After hearing the student’s reason, the teacher, Kelly McFarland, then took the student out of the classroom and to the principal’s office. Principal Mary Beth Harris was told what happened and the student was taken back to class 20 minutes later, according to the lawsuit. Later in the day, however, Harris took the boy out of class and had him “practice” how to recite the pledge.

RETAIL APOCALYPSE: 25% of Shopping Malls will be gone in 5 years!
JUNE 12, 2017
Store closings and even dead malls are nothing new, but things might be about to get a whole lot worse. Between 20% and 25% of American malls will close within five years, according to a new report out this week from Credit Suisse. That kind of plunge would be unprecedented in the nation’s history. In 1970 there were only 300 enclosed malls in the U.S., and now
there are 1,211 of them. In fact, despite the recent turbulence in the retail industry, the number of malls open has actually edged higher every year. If the analysts at Credit Suisse are right, that trend line about to turn — sharply — in the other direction. The reasons are nothing new. People are shopping online more than ever, and that trend is expected to keep growing. Foot traffic at malls has been on the decline for years.

There is a mysterious disappearance of UFO researchers taking place
JUNE 12, 2017
In recent months the deaths of famous UFO hunters Max Spiers and Guarav Tiwari have prompted many to ask if someone is killing off our extra-terrestrial investigators.  But mysterious cases involving Ufologists are nothing new, and sometimes, instead of turning up dead, these people simply vanish. Bruno Borges is one example. The Brazilian
psychology student who was interested in extra-terrestrials and the Illuminati vanished earlier this year.  Frederick Valentich was a UFO enthusiast and a pilot; which sounds like the perfect combination for anyone wanting to investigate strange flashing lights in the sky.

North Korea Arrests Senior Citizen for Contacting Christians in China
JUNE 11, 2017
Authorities in North Korea’s Yanggang province tied with rope, assaulted, dragged and arrested a 61-year-old resident days after he returned from China on charges of spying as he had allegedly contacted his Christian relatives in that country, according to reports. The North Korean citizen, Kim Seung-mo, a resident of the Wiyon area of Hyesan city, was dragged by state security officials in front of Wiyon train station last week, according to Radio Free Asia. Kim was shackled

and tied with rope as he was dragged out from a town behind Wiyon brewery, an anonymous local source was quoted as saying.  It seemed he had been assaulted, as he had split lips and black eyes, and could not walk properly, the source said. Kim used to work at the Wiyon substation in the electricity department there. He retired in March. “After he came back from China, he openly told his neighbors that his relatives attended a Christian church, and the church’s pastor collected many used clothes from parishioners for him,”

Nearly Half of Iraqi and Syrian Christians Have Fled Middle East Since 2011
JUNE 11, 2017
An investigative report on displacement and emigration of Christians in Syria and Iraq estimates that at least 50 percent and up to 80 percent of the Christians have fled the two countries since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011.The number of Christians in Iraq has reduced from “well over 300,000” in 2014 to 200,000-250,000 now, and many of those who remain in the country are currently displaced internally, says the report titled, “Understanding recent movements of
Christians from Syria and Iraq to other countries across the Middle East and Europe.” The report, prepared by Christian groups Open Doors, Served and Middle East Concern, adds that in Syria the Christian population of around 2 million in 2011 has “roughly halved.” “Factors for leaving included the violence of conflict, including the almost complete destruction of some historically Christian towns in the Nineveh plains of northern Iraq, the emigration of others and loss of community,

Chinese police destroyed a church after dragging worshippers out of the building and beating them in the street. Violence broke out in Shanggiu in Henan province after 300 police officers and officials demolished the Shuangmiao Christian Church—which was under construction.  Officers dragged out around 40 Christians with one worshipper comparing the brutal scenes to the Japanese invasion of China during the Second World War, according to charity China Aid.  Eight
Christians remain in custody following the incident amid a crackdown on churches by the communist regime. China Aid said: “During the demolition, officials beat dozens of church members, pushing them to the ground and twisting their hands.  “The church was completely razed, and a church member likened the scene to the Japanese invasion of China during World War II.

University Student Sues Over Failing Grade Allegedly Tied to Complaint About Lesbianism, Profanity in Reading List
JUNE 11, 2017
A 59-year-old University student has sued her teacher at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for giving her a failing grade, as she believes the F is tied to her complaint about the themes of homosexuality, sex and swearing found in class reading assignments.  Donna Kikkert said that when she enrolled in the advanced creative writing poetry course at the University in 2014, she wanted to study classic poets. However, she became disappointed when Professor Patricia Dyjak
rather selected material that contained profanity and references to sex. “For the reading material in this course, Ms. Dyjak chose five poetry textbooks … which focused on lesbians, illicit sexual relationships, incest and frequent swearing,” her lawsuit states. “A rational person would surmise these textbook choices to be myopically degrading and insulting to the intelligence of university students,

UK Churches Choose Courage Over Fear
JUNE 11, 2017
Despite enduring two terror attacks in one month, a group of UK Christians are working hard to spread a message of love. The threat level remains “severe” while police and citizens are on alert after an attack last Saturday took the lives of eight people in London. The London attack came on the heels of another that took place in Manchester two weeks before.
In that incident, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb outside of an Ariana Grande concert.  Twenty-two people were killed. Heather Staff, a human rights activist and member of the UK’s Christians in Politics told CBN News both incidents, while devastatingly tragic, have provided the church an opportunity to show Christ’s love.

Abbas Drops Settlement Freeze Precondition to “Give Trump a Chance” to Make Peace
JUNE 11, 2017
Amid the Trump administration’s Mideast peace push, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas will temporarily shelve his longtime demand that Israel freeze construction in Judea and Samaria as a precondition for reviving negotiations with Israel, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday. Abbas has also purportedly expressed willingness to tone down his campaigns to prosecute Israel for alleged war crimes and to pursue anti-Israel initiatives at
the United Nations, said Mohammad Mustafa, Abbas’s senior economic adviser and former deputy prime minister. “We have not made the settlements an up-front issue this time,” Mustafa said. “We think it’s better for all of us right now to focus on giving this new administration a chance to deliver.” An additional prominent aide to Abbas, Mohammad Shtayyeh, said President Donald Trump earned the Palestinians’ trust with his June 1 postponement of relocating the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Neanderthal Remains Discovered in Israel May Rewrite History
JUNE 11, 2017
A rare archaeological discovery of 60,000-year-old Neanderthal bones in northern Israel may result in anthropologists rewriting history.  The Neanderthal remains were uncovered in Ein Qashish as part of an archaeological dig coordinated by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), prior to major road construction in the area.
The bones were found in an open-air site—the first such discovery in the Levant region—and contradict previously held assumptions that Neanderthals dwelled primarily in caves.  A joint study of the findings, published Wednesday, was conducted by researchers from Israel’s Ono Academic College, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the IAA, in collaboration with Germany’s Museum for Human Behavioral Evolution.

Hundreds of individuals, some armed, gathered at a Houston park to protest what they believe are efforts to remove a statue of Texas hero Sam Houston because he owned slaves.  There hasn’t been any organized effort to remove Houston’s statue, which has stood near a city park since 1925. Protesters, some who carried Confederate flags, said Saturday they’re

Pakistan sentences man to death for blasphemy on Facebook
JUNE 11, 2017
A Pakistani counter-terrorism court has sentenced to death a man who allegedly committed blasphemy on Facebook, a government prosecutor said on Sunday, the first time someone has been handed the death penalty for blaspheming on social media. The conviction of Taimoor Raza, 30, follows a high-profile crackdown against blasphemy on social media by the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Blasphemy is a highly sensitive topic in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where
insulting the Prophet Mohammad is a capital crime for which dozens are sitting on death row. Even mere accusations are enough to spark mass uproar and mob justice. Shafiq Qureshi, public prosecutor in Bahawalpur, about 500km (300 miles) south of provincial capital Lahore, said Raza was convicted for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad, his wives and companions.

Germany to test face recognition software to target terrorist suspects
JUNE 11, 2017
Germany will start testing facial recognition software at a Berlin train station this summer to help police track down and identify terrorist suspects, criminal offenders, and other security threats. The software will initially be tested with volunteers at Berlin’s Suedkreuz Station. If the new system proves effective, its use will not be limited to railway stations, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. “We already have video surveillance in train stations,” Maiziere said on
Saturday in an interview with German Tagesspiegel newspaper. “We are not able, however, to put a picture of a terrorist on the run into software that would alert us when he appears somewhere at a station,” de Maiziere said. “If this software proves to be reliable, it should also be used for serious crimes in other public places equipped with surveillance cameras.”

 This Might Be Why You’re Under Constant Demonic Attack
JUNE 11, 2017
(By Shane Idleman) “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through dry places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation” (Matt. 12:43-45).
Many use this verse to caution Christians, but the context is rejecting Christ: “The unclean spirit leaves for a time, but when he returns, he finds Christ is not there to shut him out; the heart is swept by outward reformation … and the man becomes a more decided enemy of the truth. Every heart is the residence of unclean spirits, except those which are temples of the Holy Ghost, by faith in Christ” (Matthew Henry).

New study reveals that even moderate drinking could harm the brain
JUNE 11, 2017
Heavy drinking can lead to a number of serious health problems, including increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and dementia, but consuming even moderate levels of alcohol could be dangerous, as well, new research suggests. The study, published in The BMJ, finds that moderate drinkers were three times more likely to experience a decline in mental skills
than people who drank no alcohol at all. For the study, researchers analyzed data on weekly alcohol intake in 550 healthy British men and women over a period of 30 years. The participants had an average age of 43 at the start of the study in 1985 and none were alcohol dependent. They were given brain function tests at regular intervals, and during the last three years of the study participants underwent an MRI brain scan.

Quakes near New Madrid fault Continue as magnitude 3.6 rattles part of Arkansas
JUNE 11, 2017
A 3.6-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Arkansas and Missouri early Sunday.  The quake, which centered about 5 miles north of Bergman and 18 miles northeast of Harrison, occurred around 6:40 a.m. By 9 a.m., more than 400 people in Arkansas and southern Missouri had reported to the U.S. Geological Survey that they felt the shaking. Most categorized
it as weak or light tremors, which are typically not associated with any damage. Daniel Bolen, director of 911 for Boone, said his office fielded more than 40 calls Sunday morning. “When it initially happened, all of our lines lit up,” he said, noting none of the callers had experienced any damage. Bolen said he didn’t know at first what was going on.

Transgender Sprinter Wins Girls Track Meet

Conservative blogger Matt Walsh is sounding the alarm after a boy who identifies as a girl won the girl’s 100-meter and 200-meter dashes in state championships.  “A mustachioed boy who ‘identifies as a girl’ heroically won gold in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash for the Connecticut high school girl’s state championships last week,” wrote Walsh, in an
article called, “Please, leftists, explain how this ‘transgender’ madness empowers women.” Walsh went on to say, “His times would have placed him a full second behind last place in the boy’s competition, but against the girls, he easily came in first.”Andraya Yearwood is a 15-year-old freshman at Cromwell High School in Connecticut. Yearwood has identified with girls since first or second grade.

Nearly 1,000 migrants leave Libya bound for Europe
JUNE 11, 2017
Mayhem broke out in the Mediterranean on Friday as more than 900 migrants set off from Libya to reach Europe in just 24 hours.  Desperate men, women and children from across Africa and the Middle East launched from the Libyan coast in five separate boats to escape hardship in their homeland.  Packed inside wooden vessels and floating on makeshift rafts those hoping to seek refuge in the European Union were spotted floating in international waters. The first rescues took

place late Thursday when 130 people were saved by Vos Prudence, a rescue ship run by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The same ship made another rescue at 5.30am on Friday when 136 were taken aboard. Just hours later a migrant-packed rubber boat, purpose built by sick smugglers making millions out of desperation, was located by the MSCC (Maritime Rescue Coordination Center) in Rome. Charities and NGOs rushed to the scene to prevent mass panic and death, while officials from the EU –

Pat Robertson Raises Many Eyebrows on “Polygamy in the Bible”
JUNE 11, 2017
Popular televangelist Pat Robertson, who serves as chancellor of Regent University and chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network, has said he doesn’t know of anything in the Bible that condemns polygamy — the practice of having more than one wife or husband at the same time. “I’m not sure I know anything in the Bible that indicates
polygamy, as such, is against the Bible. But we don’t do it and there are a lot of laws based on the New Testament [that] don’t permit it, and that’s where we are,” Robertson said in a clip from “The 700 Club” series posted on YouTube Wednesday. Robertson was responding to a question from a viewer identified only as Margaret who asked: “Why did God allow the men of faith in the Old Testament to have multiple wives and concubines? And when did God change His mind and make marriage monogamous?”

Obesity may soon surpass smoking in death risk…
JUNE 11, 2017
Obesity and inactivity could someday account for more cancer deaths than smoking if current trends continue, a leading cancer expert says. As the rate of smoking decreases, other unhealthy habits threaten to offset the progress in reducing cancer deaths, says Richard Wender, a physician and chief cancer control officer at the American Cancer
Society (ACS). A study in the New England Journal of Medicine last fall found 13 types of cancer were linked to excess body weight. There’s no guarantee that obesity and inactivity will surpass smoking as a cancer cause, Wender says, but the possibility is startling. “Who would’ve thought we’d ever see the day where what you eat (and) exercise, could account for more cancer deaths than smoking?” he asks.

Nationwide Marches Against ‘Sharia Law’
JUNE 11, 2017
Demonstrations against Islamic law led to arrests, tense confrontations and physical fights in some U.S. cities Saturday amid several rallies sponsored by ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center designates as an anti-Muslim hate group.  The “March Against Sharia” was scheduled to take place in more than 20 cities, including New York, Dallas and Atlanta, and was projected to be ACT for America’s largest protest against Islam. In some cities, the rallies were met
by counter-demonstrators. Seven people were arrested during demonstrations at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, but no injuries were reported, state police said. In Seattle, police said officers deployed pepper spray to “break up a large fight” and arrested three near Occidental Park following the protests downtown. At the end of the rally, a group returned to the park where the melee erupted, according to a police statement. Officers used pepper spray to disperse the crowd and arrested one woman and two men for obstruction, it added.

Northern Illinois United Methodist Conference Commissions Deacon Who Identifies as Neither Male or Female
JUNE 11, 2017
The Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church has commissioned as deacon a woman who identifies as “non-binary,” only uses the letter M for a first name, and prefers the pronoun “they.”  Sally Dyck, the bishop of the conference, commissioned M. Barclay on Sunday, along with three other women approved to serve as provisional deacons. “Pour out your Holy Spirit upon M,” Dyke said in laying hands on Barclay. “Send them now to proclaim the good news of
Jesus Christ, to announce the reign of God and to equip the Church for ministry.” While United Methodists have ordained those who identify as “transgender” before, Barclay is the first who doesn’t wish to identify as any gender.“For me, once I was exposed to the reality of non-binary gender, it was for the first time recognizing who I am, and what made sense for me in how I carry my body, how I explain myself to the world and how I know myself to be internally. It’s certainly not man nor woman,” she told the United Methodist News Service.

Florida sheriff urges citizens to arm themselves in case of attack
JUNE 10, 2017
A Florida sheriff’s office posted a controversial message on social media, urging citizens to arm themselves in self-defense. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey posted the video on Facebook Wednesday, two days after a deadly workplace shooting in nearby Orlando claimed the lives of five people. “Folks, now more than ever is the time for our citizens to be prepared to serve as the first line of defense, not only for them, but for their families,” Sheriff Ivey said. As images of the Fort
Lauderdale airport shooting and Pulse nightclub massacre flashed on-screen, Ivey warned residents that attacks have happened locally as well as abroad. “What’s next is to fully understand that this is war, and you better be prepared to wage war to protect you, your family, and those around you if attacked,” he said. Ivey stressed that attackers rely on people running, hiding, and waiting for help, rather than fighting back.

Massive Crowd of 14,000 Christians Gather in Times Square for Event Dedicated to Prayer and Scripture
JUNE 10, 2017
Typically known for its bright lights and costumed characters, Times Square became the meeting place for an inspiring gathering of Christians from all walks of life last weekend.  Despite not exactly being a hotbed for people of faith, on June 3, some 14,000 people gathered at the so-called crossroads of the world for the conclusion of “Jesus Week”—a week-long series of events around Manhattan and the outer boroughs organized by Concerts of Prayer Greater New York (COPGNY), a network of pastors and churches who seek to encourage prayer across “ethnic, economic and denominational lines.”
According to Christian Today, Jesus Week began on May 27 and saw members of Concerts of Prayer ministering to and praying alongside the poor in needy throughout the city. Some $3 million in resources—including multi-lingual children’s books and DVDs—were also donated. The week culminated with the Times Square event that featured an afternoon of live music, scripture readings, and reflections led by various pastors and religious. “People said it was the boldest thing they’ve ever seen,” Pastor Dimas Salaberrios, head of COPGNY, told the Christian Post of the gathering.

Yes, you read that headline correctly.

Atheist Group Pushing Schools to Ban Any References to God and Prayer at Graduations
JUNE 10, 2017
A national atheist organization has sent a letter of complaint to an Alabama school district where a principal’s speech at a high school graduation ceremony included a prayer, scripture reading, and references to God.  The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which touts itself as the nation’s largest atheist organization, sent a letter to Opp City Schools on Monday regarding the religious elements at the graduation ceremony held last month at Opp High School.
FFRF staff attorney Sam Grover told Opp City Schools Superintendent Michael Smithart that the group learned of the religious aspects of the ceremony via a “concerned district community member.” “The establishment clause of the First Amendment prohibits public schools from sponsoring any type of religious practice,” wrote Grover. “The Supreme Court has continually struck down prayers at school-sponsored events, including public school assemblies and graduations.” Grover said the baccalaureate held at Opp High School was a religious program and therefore should not have had school backing.

Pilotless planes could soon be a reality!
JUNE 10, 2017
If you have a fear of flying, this probably isn’t going to do you any favors. Boeing has revealed plans to develop planes that fly with no pilots, and intends to test the new technology next year.  “The basic building blocks of the technology clearly are available,” Mike Sinnett, Boeing’s vice president of product development, said at a briefing ahead of the Paris Airshow
which takes place later this month.  The idea of air travel in an autonomous plane sounds scary, but, at the moment, jetliners can already take off, land and cruise using their computers. Planes are also fitted with flight management systems which determine the best flight path based on the flight plan inputted by the pilot. The number of pilots needed on flights has also dropped from three to two in recent years. Pilotless planes would help address the pilot shortage expected in the next few years.

Quakes near New Madrid fault Continue as magnitude 3.6 rattles part of Arkansa
JUNE 11, 2017
A 3.6-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Arkansas and Missouri early Sunday.  The quake, which centered about 5 miles north of Bergman and 18 miles northeast of Harrison, occurred around 6:40 a.m. By 9 a.m., more than 400 people in Arkansas and southern Missouri had reported to the U.S. Geological Survey that they felt the shaking. Most categorized

it as weak or light tremors, which are typically not associated with any damage. Daniel Bolen, director of 911 for Boone, said his office fielded more than 40 calls Sunday morning. “When it initially happened, all of our lines lit up,” he said, noting none of the callers had experienced any damage. Bolen said he didn’t know at first what was going on.

40% of homes have appliances that can Spy on us
JUNE 10, 2017
BIG Brother is watching. Your front door, television and child’s doll could all be spying on you. The internet of things, everyday objects connected to the web, can send and receive data and appliances have the power to gain control and track your behaviour and movements. At least 40 per cent of Australian homes now have at least one internet of things device and they are disguised as normal appliances. They can be fridges, kettles or even window blinds.

There are warnings about the danger of having an internet of things device in your home. Just last year a Norwegian Consumer Council discovered a children’s doll was recording what children were saying and sending the information to a US company, which could share and use the data in a number of different ways. The consumer council found internet-connected toys My Friend Cayla and i-Que breached several consumer laws.

Tech stocks tumble, taking down Nasdaq as big names sink, Fears of Imminent Bubble!
JUNE 10, 2017
Technology stocks sold off sharply on Friday, taking a toll on the Nasdaq and dragging on other major Wall Street indexes, which touched record highs earlier in the day.  The technology sector .SPLRCT, which soared this year and led the market’s rally, finished down 2.7 percent, after paring declines. But financials .SPSY and energy .SPNY, which have lagged
the broader rally this year, were strong. Energy gained 2.5 percent and financials rose 1.9 percent. “It is a rotation today and it is out of tech into some of the other sectors,” said Mark Kepner, managing director of sales and trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 113.85 points, or 1.8 percent, to end at 6,207.92.

Ex-Soldier Recounts Miraculous Way God Intervened When Death Was the Only Way Out
JUNE 10, 2017
Dave Eubank says he knew the odds were against him. “ISIS fire was intense as we approached the huddled group of three survivors,” Eubank recalled in an Instagram post.  On June 1, Eubank, an ex-U.S. Army Special Forces soldier who runs a Christian humanitarian organization called Free Burma Rangers, got a call from an Iraqi unit that was fighting ISIS on the
frontlines west of Mosul, Iraq.  “They said civilians coming, a lot (of them) shot,” Eubank told CNN. He and members of the Free Burma Rangers are in Iraq helping civilians flee from ISIS-held areas. The team jumped into action after they got the call. “We got there and a guy came crying, crying, he said, ‘My daughter was shot in front of me, her head was blown off,'” Eubank recalled.

IRS Can Seize Your Money Based on a Hunch
JUNE 10, 2017
The federal government currently wields a tremendous amount of power over the citizens of the United States, far more than the Founders intended.  One manifestation of federal overreach is civil asset forfeiture. This practice allows the federal government to confiscate the wealth of its citizens upon the mere suspicion of wrongdoing. The IRS, not content
with expropriating the wealth of its citizens on April 15 every year, has now taken up the practice of seizing funds that have been involved in perfectly legal transactions on the basis of a hunch. Thankfully, legislation in the House and the Senate has been introduced to bring this practice to a halt. Both chambers should act on the bills swiftly. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, financial transactions of over $10,000 trigger bank reporting requirements.

Christians Outraged Over Textbooks in India Calling Jesus Christ a ‘Demon’
JUNE 9, 2017
The Christian community in Ahmedabad, India, is outraged that class 9 Hindi language textbooks refer to Jesus Christ as a “demon.”  The government has claimed that the adjective ‘hevaan’ or ‘demon,’ used before Jesus’ name in the textbooks published by the Gujarat State School Textbook Board was a mistake, News 18 reported on Thursday, and said that the error will be rectified.  The Times of India reports that the Christian community notified the government about the error
over a month ago but no action was taken, until now.  Chapter 16 of the textbook in question states “Is sambandh me hevaan Isa ka ek kathan sada smaraniya hai,” which translates as “one statement of demon Jesus is always memorable.”  Fr. Vinayak Jhadav, spokesperson for the Catholic Church of Gujarat, said that the error was pointed out by the chairman of the GSSTB back in May.

DAYS OF LOT: Trans-man expecting first child
JUNE 9, 2017
Like most anyone in their third trimester of pregnancy, Trystan Reese is dealing with cravings and heartburn. But unlike most first-time parents, Reese is a transgender man who is expecting a baby with his partner of seven years, Biff Chaplow. The Portland, Oregon, couple will welcome a son in July.  “As the pregnancy’s progressed, it’s like more and more obvious that it’s not just a guy with a beer belly,” Chaplow told CNN affiliate KATU.
Reese, who was assigned the female gender at birth and says he kept his “original parts,” adds that he never wanted to change his body.  “I think my body is awesome. I feel like it’s a gift to have been born with the body that I did, and I made the necessary changes so that I could keep living in it, both through hormones and through other body modifications,” he shared in a video posted to the couple’s Facebook page.

In the Land Where Atheism Prevails, Revival Gains Surprising Foothold
JUNE 9, 2017
As Pastor Jeton quietly speaks, one would never guess the horror he and his people have lived through in this picturesque area of the Balkans. Jeton is a Kosovar Albanian—over 80 percent of the population of Kosovo are Albanian, but in 1998, neighboring Yugoslavian Serbs sought to wipe them from the land. Thousands were slaughtered and over a quarter-million were driven from their homes into Albania during the bloody conflict that pitted neighbor against neighbor,
leaving deep hatred and distrust. Those who fled to Albania received a bleak welcome in a land that had been isolated from the world for decades. While both Albania and Kosovo are predominantly Muslim nations, Albania holds the distinction of being the first nation to officially write a belief in atheism into their constitution as it did in 1967. A dictionary published shortly thereafter doesn’t include the word “God.” He, nonetheless, chose to remain in both countries incognito.

World Health Organization Warns US, Europe Gay Pride Events May Worsen Global Hepatitis A Outbreak
JUNE 9, 2017
The World Health Organization warned that June’s upcoming gay pride events in the United States and Europe could worsen the ongoing hepatitis A outbreak that is affecting men who have relations with other men.  WHO issued the warning on Wednesday, and said that a vaccine shortage could also worsen the situation.  WHO noted that the rise in cases of the
disease, which is rarely fatal but leads to symptoms lasting several months, is “of particular concern from a public health perspective because of the current limited availability of hepatitis A vaccine worldwide.”  It pointed out that hepatitis A has spread over the past year, particularly among gay men in the U.S., Europe, and Chile,

Water, Electricity Cut at House Churches in China for Refusing Install of Surveillance Equipment
JUNE 9, 2017
Disputes over government surveillance devices in house churches continue in China’s coastal Zhejiang as officials cut power and water supplies to several area churches and the homes of church leadership at the beginning of June.Members of Tuanqian Village Church in Rui’an, a county-level city in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, spoke with reporters on June 4, saying that after their church refused to install government surveillance equipment, they lost power and water to several
buildings associated with the church.  The leaders of the church believe they may need to relent and install the cameras. “I heard that the church leaders are about to give up their resistance because the wires in the director’s factory were cut off,” an anonymous church member said. “The wires of the church leaders’ houses were damaged as well. [They have targeted] both the private residence and a factory. It’s too much pressure. They are about to give in.”

Jacob’s Lambs spotted for first time in 2,000 Years, Born in Native Land
JUNE 9, 2017
After a journey as dramatic as anything in the Bible, the first Jacob’s Sheep born in the land of Israel in over two millennia made their auspicious appearance last month in the Jordan Valley. One Torah Codes expert found an amazingly precise and detailed description of the flock’s arrival and the role it will play in bringing the Third Temple.  The precious flock of 119 Jacob’s Sheep, a rare breed experts believe originated in Israel, finally returned in November after a journey of 2,000 years. Experts believe the unique breed, originally raised by Jacob, accompanied the Hebrews into slavery in Egypt and
spread from there to North Africa. The Moors traded them to Spain, and then to England. Collectors have since brought them to North America. Considered a ‘heritage’ breed, meaning the sheep retain many of their genetic traits, they thrive in desert climes and have four horns.Despite the nearly non-stop travel that brought them from Western Canada to central Israel, the 30 pregnant ewes were as hardy as their Biblical ancestors, birthing healthy lambs in the Jordan Valley’s Sde Trumot, as their ancestors did in the time of the Biblical patriarchs.

Defiant Missouri Mayor Refuses to Take Down Giant, 60-Foot Cross That’s Been Up Since 1930
JUNE 9, 2017
A Missouri city is refusing atheist activists demands that officials take down a large, lighted cross that has been on display inside one of its local parks since 1930. The cross, which is 60-feet long, was once used for the city of Neosho’s now-defunct Easter morning services. Eventually, officials decided to leave it up, but in May — decades after its installation — someone complained about its presence, according to conservative commentator Todd Starnes.
Then, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist activist group, stepped in and sent a May 11 letter, demanding that the cross be removed, saying it is “unconstitutional” due to its placement on public land. But despite receiving that letter, officials apparently have no plans to bow to atheists’ demands. Neosho Mayor Ben Baker, in fact, told Starnes that he believes the cross, which is located in the city’s Big Spring Park, is “a historical part of [the] town and our heritage,” rebuffing claims that it is an offensive endorsement of the Christian worldview.

DEVELOPING: Massive crack opens in the earth in Manipur, Destroying villages
JUNE 9, 2017
A massive earth crack that developed Sunday morning, June 4, 2017 in the Indian state of Manipur is widening with every passing hour, threatening several villages in the Kangpokpi district to be completely destroyed. More than 250 people have been evacuated to a temporary relief camp and are now facing water and power shortage. By June 5, the fissure destroyed at least 11 houses, while 19 more were on the verge of falling apart. More than 20 paddy fields have been damaged, numerous huge trees have caved in and more land has slid down.
In addition, two huge water bodies have ‘formed near Kalikhola village today while one electric post was also badly damaged,’ The Sangai Express reported June 5.  “The origin of the earth fissure is below J Songtun village and it slid down towards Kalikhola village developing larger fissure in the areas and has expanded to a radius of 5 km (3.1 km) approximately now. The PMGSY road connecting IT road and Kalapahar via Makuli has also slid down about 300 meters (980 feet) from the original site. All water pipelines have been badly damaged,” the paper said.

23 explosions at Fuego volcano create disrupting communications in Guatemala
JUNE 9, 2017
The Fuego volcano has erupted 23 times, 4 of which really strongly sending ash plumes 4,400-4,500 m. Asl. The heavy rains falling on Santiaguito and Fuego volcanoes created lahars which disrupted the communiation between communities living close to the volcanoes. On June 8, 2017, the Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala erupted 23 times (13 small, 6 moderate
and 4 strong). According to local observers, the Fuego produced one of the strongest explosion of recent years. The 4 powerful explosions generated plumes of gray color rising up to 4,400-4,500 m. asl, before dispersing to the west and north. Incandescent pulses of 150 m. Over the crater caused moderate to strong avalanches in the Santa Teresa, Taniluya, Ceniza and Trinidad barrancas.

PROPHECY WATCH: Are We Watching Ezekiel 36:24 Come to Pass Before Our Eyes?
JUNE 9, 2017
A group of Ethiopian Falash Mura arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday, the first group in a new wave of aliyah (immigration to Israel).  The 72 new Jewish immigrants arrived in the Jewish state as part of a collaborative effort between the Jewish Agency for Israel and the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). More than 200 families and supporters greeted the new immigrants at the airport.
Another three immigrant flights from Ethiopia are expected to arrive in Israel this month. Tuesday night’s flight marked the first group of Jewish immigrants from Ethiopia to arrive in Israel since the Israeli government approved and renewed the Ethiopian Aliyah program in October 2016. ICEJ, a Christian Zionist global ministry, sponsored the latest Ethiopian immigration wave to Israel and has worked to raise funds for the first year of the reintroduced Ethiopian Aliyah program, which will bring 1,400 new immigrants to the Jewish state.

A group of Ethiopian Falash Mura arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday, the first group in a new wave of aliyah (immigration to Israel).  The 72 new Jewish immigrants arrived in the Jewish state as part of a collaborative effort between the Jewish Agency for Israel and the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). More than 200 families and supporters greeted the new immigrants at the airport.
Another three immigrant flights from Ethiopia are expected to arrive in Israel this month. Tuesday night’s flight marked the first group of Jewish immigrants from Ethiopia to arrive in Israel since the Israeli government approved and renewed the Ethiopian Aliyah program in October 2016. ICEJ, a Christian Zionist global ministry, sponsored the latest Ethiopian immigration wave to Israel and has worked to raise funds for the first year of the reintroduced Ethiopian Aliyah program, which will bring 1,400 new immigrants to the Jewish state.

Two U.S. Citizens Arrested for Ties to Hezbollah…
JUNE 9, 2017
Two naturalized U.S. citizens have been arrested on charges related to activities on behalf of Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization based in Lebanon.  Ali Kourani, 32, of the Bronx, N.Y. and Samer el Debek, 37, of Dearborn, Mich. were arrested on June 1, according to a Justice Department press release sent out Thursday.
Both men were “recruited as Hizballah operatives” and “allegedly received military-style training, including in the use of weapons like rocket-propelled grenade launchers and machine guns for use in support of the group’s terrorist mission,” according to Joon H. Kim, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Madrid Bans Man-spreading On Its Public Transport
JUNE 8, 2017
The city has banned manspreading on its trains and buses. If only every city could take a cue from Madrid when it comes to manspreading. Per The Local, Madrid just announced that it has banned manspreading—when a man opens his legs to take up a bunch of unnecessary room in an enclosed space—across all of its public transit services. Specifically, the city’s Municipal Transportation Company (EMT) will be implementing new signage in all of the trains and buses, which will
hope to dissuade man-spreaders from encroaching on the personal space of other riders. “The new information icon indicates the prohibition of taking a seating position that bothers other people,” a statement issued by the EMT reads. “It’s to remind transport users to maintain civic responsibility and respect the personal space of everyone on board.” The sign features a stick man spreading his legs to cartoonishly large proportions on a public transportation seat, with a big red “X” and “respect the space of others” text accompanying it.

Oldest Homo sapiens bones ever found shake foundations of the human story
JUNE 8, 2017
ATTENTION: The following report does not reflect the views, opinions or personal beliefs of End Time Headlines
Fossils recovered from an old mine on a desolate mountain in Morocco have rocked one of the most enduring foundations of the human story: that Homo sapiens arose in a cradle of humankind in East Africa 200,000 years ago.  Archaeologists unearthed the bones of at least five people at Jebel Irhoud, a former barite mine 100km west of Marrakesh, in excavations that lasted years. They knew the remains were old, but were stunned when dating tests revealed that a tooth and stone tools found with the bones were about 300,000 years old. “My reaction was a big ‘wow’,” said Jean-Jacques Hublin, a senior scientist on the team at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. “I was expecting them to be old, but not that old.” Hublin said the extreme age of the bones makes them the oldest known specimens of modern humans and poses a major challenge to the idea that the earliest members of our species evolved in a “Garden of Eden” in East Africa one hundred thousand years later.

Jailed Pastor Issues Dire Warning About the Fate of Christianity
JUNE 7, 2017
Christianity is “not welcome” in Sudan, according to the lawyer who defended a church leader and an activist abruptly released from jail last month.  Muhanad Nur, who represented Rev. Hassan Abdulraheem Taour and Darfuri activist Abdumonem Abdumawla, told the Sudanese news service Nuba Reports: “It seems as if every week I am hearing about another case of Christians being persecuted here.”
Rev. Taour, who was released from Khartoum’s Kober prison, where political opponents are detained alongside terrorists, said: “It’s hard to remain in prison all that time, especially when we think about our families … But it was also a good experience for us—to help build up the church in prison and encourage parishioners.” The two Sudanese nationals, who had each been jailed for 12 years for aiding and abetting Czech Christian Petr Jašek in “spying”,

NY Public School Turns Classrooms into Muslim Prayer Rooms


JUNE 7, 2017
(Reported By Todd Starnes) A New York high school has transformed two vacant rooms into areas where Muslim students can pray during Ramadan. A spokesperson for Shenendehowa High School said the decision to offer Muslim prayer rooms on public property is part of their effort to be culturally proficient.  “The school is trying to do a lot more to be culturally inclusive and so is the district,” school spokesperson Kelly DeFeciani told the Saratogian newspaper. “We are trying to get people to
understand all different cultures,” she told the newspaper. “We want to make the school conducive, so all students can learn, can feel accepted and feel understood.” Shen High School recently made national news after they hosted a student art exhibit that included profane references to President Trump. Click here to read that story.  The school district was quick to add that any student of any faith could use the prayer rooms—but it’s clear the main intent is for Muslims to have a place to pray during Ramadan.

Facebook to spy on people through smartphone camera and analyse emotions of faces
JUNE 7, 2017
Facebook has been secretly developing creepy technology which spies on people and automatically analyses their facial expressions. The social network applied for a patent to capture pictures of a user through their smartphone.  The creepy designs, which date back to 2015, were discovered by software company CBI Insight, which has been analysing Mark Zuckerberg’s “emotion technology”.  Patent documents contain illustrations showing a person holding a smartphone with
a camera taking a picture from which “emotion characteristics” like smiling or frowning are detected. If the person appears to like what they’re seeing, Facebook could place more of the same type of content in front of them. Patents don’t always make it through to the end product- so it’s not clear whether Facebook will bring out this new feature. Researchers at CBI Insights warned that the plans could put a lot of people off using the service.

Worst winter storm in 30 years strikes Cape Town, causing at least 8 deaths
JUNE 7, 2017
A major winter storm hit South Africa’s province of Western Cape and the Cape Town metropolitan area around 23:00 SAST (21:00 UTC) on Tuesday, June 6, 2017, and intensified on Wednesday morning. It brought powerful winds, huge waves and coastal flooding, frequent lightning, heavy rain and snow at higher elevations. By 16:00 UTC, it claimed the lives of at least 8 people.
Gale force winds and heavy rain associated with the worst storm to hit the region in 30 years brought Cape Town and neighboring cities to a standstill on Wednesday morning. Local media dubbed it ‘the mother of all storms,’ while South African Weather Service forecasters are unofficially calling it ‘one hell of a storm.’ Take a look at the image below and you’ll see why.  READ MORE https://watchers.news/2017/06/07/cape-town-storm-june-7-2017/

Trump Does Something On Twitter That Sparks Strange Free Speech Battle
JUNE 7, 2017
There’s a strange free speech battle raging over President Donald Trump’s tweets, but it actually has nothing to do with his oft-times controversial proclamations.   As it turns out, some of the U.S. citizens whom he has blocked from viewing his messages are now demanding that he unblock them — or face legal action.
Attorneys with the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University sent a letter this week to Trump, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and White House counsel Dan Scavino, accusing president of restricting citizens’ free speech. The argument goes as follows: blocking users means that they can no longer interact with Trump and their free speech is, thus, impeded, as Mashable noted.

Superintendent Punished After Students Demand He Apologize for Praying and Mentioning God During Commencement
JUNE 7, 2017
A Missouri school district has decided to punish its superintendent for praying during a recent high school graduation ceremony. Superintendent Kent Medlin of the Willard School District in Willard, Missouri, will be suspended for the next month before his previously planned retirement after students complained over his statements at Willard High School’s commencement. The decision to officially place Medlin on a paid leave of absence came on May 26 when the school board
met to discuss the matter, concluding that the best remedy would be to keep the superintendent on leave until his contract expires on June 30. “[This] action was based upon the board’s belief that Dr. Medlin’s High School Commencement speech violated Board of Education policies regarding prayer at school-sponsored events,” a statement from the school board read. An interim superintendent — Assistant Superintendent Dr. Stewart Pratt — will fill Medlin’s role until the new superintendent, Dr. Matt Teeter, who was hired months ago, takes his position on July 1.

Indiana toddler dies from suspected tick bite infection
JUNE 7, 2017
An Indiana toddler died on Sunday after she caught a bacterial infection she may have got from a tick bite, her family said.  Kenley Ratliff, 2, fell ill a week ago after she contracted an infection believed to be Rocky Mountain spotted fever, transmitted through tick bites, her family told WTHR. They said they went camping just before Ratliff got sick.  Within
days, the toddler went from being healthy to battling the infection in the hospital.   “Yes, within less than like five days,” Monica Kirby, a family friend, told the news station. “Her little body couldn’t handle it.” At first the toddler tested positive for strep throat, but after she came home she developed a 104-degree fever, Kirby told WTHR.

Christian convert faces deportation and possible death sentence for conversion
JUNE 7, 2017
An Iranian actress who left Islam for Christianity has twice been denied asylum in Sweden and could be sent back to Iran where the penalty for conversion includes death.  Aideen Strandsson told CBN News she secretly converted to Christianity while still living in Iran. “I read the Bible and I understood what Jesus said about peace, about love, about kindness, and in my heart I became a Christian when I was in Iran,” she said in an interview with CBN’s Dale Hurd. Three years ago, she
moved to Sweden and publicly proclaimed her new faith, but her application for asylum has been denied by government officials and an immigration court.”They felt that, they don’t believe I am in danger and I think that’s the reason,” she said. The Islamic regime in Iran persecutes Christians. House churches are raided and closed, and leaders are imprisoned and often beaten and tortured. The regime follows Sharia law, which calls for the death penalty for apostates.

Prayers Answered! Mother and Son’s Emotional Reunion After 48 Years
JUNE 7, 2017
Kirk Kellerhals was just two years old when he was adopted from an orphanage in Vietnam.  Now 47, the Virginia Beach resident never imagined he would ever meet his biological mother.  “I’ve grown up, since I’ve known I was adopted, with the knowledge, whether real or perceived, that my parents perished in the Vietnam war,” Kellerhals said in an exclusive
interview with CBN News.  But that’s not what really happened. CBN News was there Tuesday when Kellerhals and his birth mother, Thuy-Nga Thi Nibblett, of Vietnamese decent, were reunited in an emotional meeting in Virginia Beach. Nibblett and her husband, drove all the way from San Antonio, Texas for the miraculous mother and son reunion. Kellerhals nervously paced the sidewalk in front of his home awaiting the moment of his mother’s arrival.

Sign of the Times? Facial-Recognition Software Coming to Stores
JUNE 7, 2017
(By Jim Denison) I still remember my first crime. I was 6 or 7-years-old and was standing with my mother in the grocery store checkout line. As she paid for our food, I snatched a pack of chewing gum from a nearby rack and buried it in my pocket. I have not shoplifted since. Apparently, I’m the exception to the rule. The National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (its existence tells us this is a serious problem) reports that 1 in 11 Americans is a shoplifter. Many become addicted to the
rush of getting away with their crime; 57 percent of adult shoplifters say it is hard for them to stop even when they’re apprehended. Enter facial-recognition software, which uses biometrics of known shoplifters from store databases and police logs. Every visitor’s face is tracked automatically and compared at 30 frames per second. A match is sent to employees’ smartphones. One company says its software has reduced shoplifting by 91 percent.

Did Kathy Griffin Ruin Her Own Career by Denouncing Jesus?
JUNE 7, 2017
Christian comedian Chonda Pierce is responding to Jim Carrey’s defense of Kathy Griffin’s ISIS-inspired beheading images depicting President Donald Trump, saying the crude stand-up comic ruined her own career years ago when she insulted Jesus Christ.  Griffin created a national uproar when she posed for a photo holding a fake severed head of the president on Tuesday. Hours after posting the picture and a video of her mocking the touble she might get in with teh Secret Service and joking that she might have to move to Mexico, she pulled the image down and apologized.
Some comedians, including Jim Carrey, came to her defense, saying: “It’s the job of the comedian to cross the line at all times,” Carrey told “Entertainment Tonight” on Wednesday at the Los Angeles premiere of “I’m Dying Up Here.” “That line is not real and if you step out into that spotlight and you’re doing the crazy things that (Trump) is doing, we’re the last line of defense. The comedians are the last voice of truth in this whole thing.”

‘Family’ Comedy Disgustingly Sexualizes Jesus and the Virgin Mary


JUNE 7, 2017
Season Two of the 1970s cartoon, F is for Family, was released on May 30 on Netflix and, while it had its funny moments and nostalgic memories, especially for this child of the ’70s, it also had plenty of horrifically offensive moments for Christians. Created by Michael Price (The Simpsons) and comedian Bill Burr and produced by actors Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley (Ralphie in A Christmas Story), the series centers around the animated Murphy family, headed by

parents Frank (voiced by Bill Burr) and Sue (Laura Dern). Just as in the ’70s, smoking, drugs, sexism, racism, sex and cursing are rampant, seat belts are optional and rage-a-holic men, family dysfunction and arguing parents on the brink of divorce reign supreme. But Christianity as an ongoing butt of jokes throughout the show didn’t ring true. If anything, I remember faith being off-limits for attacks when I was a child in the 1970s. A person’s faith, even Christianity, was revered and respected, never treated with the impiety and profanation that it is today. So, in that regard, the show comes off a bit anachronistic.

ISIS Strikes Again! 12 Dead After Suicide Bomber at Iranian Parliament
JUNE 7, 2017
Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked Iran’s parliament and the Mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran on Wednesday morning, killing at least 12 people in a twin assault at the heart of the Islamic Republic, Iranian officials and media said.  Islamic State claimed responsibility and released a video purporting to show gunmen inside the parliament building and one body, apparently dead, on the floor.
The rare attacks were the first claimed by the hardline Sunni Muslim militant group inside in the tightly controlled Shi’ite Muslim country. Islamic State has regularly threatened Iran, one of the powers leading the fight against the militants’ forces in neighboring Iraq and, beyond that, Syria.  The raids took place at a particularly charged time, after Iran’s main regional rival Saudi Arabia and other Sunni powers cut ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of backing Tehran and militant groups.

Isaiah Prophecy Appears as Sea of Galilee Hits Lowest Water Levels in 100 Years
JUNE 7, 2017
Israel’s Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, hit an all-time-low recorded water level in May, prompting concerns about Israel’s largest freshwater lake and heralding the fulfillment of a prophecy by Isaiah. According to Israel’s Water Authority, the Sea of Galilee lost 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) of its water level in May, decreasing the level to 9 million cubic meters (318 million cubic feet), an all-time low since recording began in 1920.
The situation in the Sea of Galilee has deteriorated in recent years, as Israel’s north faces an ongoing drought. Hydrologists estimate that the water level will drop by a meter (3.3 feet) before the rainy season begins in November. The Book of Isaiah foretells of waters “failing from the sea” in the times of redemption: And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be drained dry, and the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Mitzrayim shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither. Isaiah 19:5-6 .

DEVELOPING: Burmese military plane disappears with more than 100 on board
JUNE 7, 2017
A military plane from Burma has disappeared with more than 100 people on board.  A spokesperson for the chief of the country’s army said the aircraft went missing during a domestic flight on Wednesday.  “Communication was lost suddenly at about 1.35pm (8.05 BST) when it reached about 20 miles west of Dawei town,” said a statement posted on Facebook. Search and rescue operations involving ships and aircraft were ongoing in the Andaman Sea. The plane left the southern

coastal town of Myeik in the early afternoon and was bound for Yangon,the largest city in Burma. It was declared missing after losing contact with air traffic control. General Myat Min Oo said the Chinese-made Y-8 aircraft was carrying 90 passengers – mostly families of military personnel – and 14 crew members.  A source told AFP the passengers the weather in the region was fine at the time of the incident.

Decline of US, Rise of China ‘Happening Much More Quickly Than Predicted’
JUNE 7, 2017
China is improving relations with its neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region amid the US retreat from Asia, but Beijing’s role as the hegemonic power in the region will be very different to the leadership exercised by Washington, British academic Martin Jacques told Radio Sputnik.  On Sunday, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual meeting of Asia-Pacific defense ministers and military chiefs, that countries in the region can no
longer rely on great powers for their defense. “In this brave new world we cannot rely on great powers to safeguard our interests,” Turnbull said in his inauguration speech at the event in Singapore. Some US allies at the summit expressed concern that the Trump administration will reduce its engagement in the Pacific, leaving the region more open to Chinese dominance.   Malaysia’s defense minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a meeting with US Defense Secretary James Mattis that Kuala Lumpur was “still trying to figure out” the US’ strategy in Asia.

Isaiah 35:1 Prophecy Coming to Pass—Are We on the Brink of Jesus’ Return?


JUNE 7, 2017
(By Kelly Mcdonald Jr) “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose” (Is. 35:1).
Isaiah 35 is a chapter that describes the public return of Jesus. When He returns in glory, the deserts will begin to bloom. Interestingly enough, this prophecy is beginning to happen in our time. The Hebrew word translated as desert in Isaiah 35:1 is arabah or aravah. While it is a generic word that can refer to a desert place, it is also a specific word referring to a desert valley in Israel.
When Israel first gained independence in 1948, the Arava was a barren place. Very few people wanted to live there. As of 2017, 14,000 people live in this area, which is approximately 108 miles long. Over the years, Israel has developed remarkable irrigation techniques. These practices have turned the former desert valley into a prosperous source of agricultural production. A recent report stated that the Arava produces over one-half of Israel’s agricultural exports, which includes crops such as squash, dates and strawberries. They are also growing flowers!

Senate Approves Jerusalem Embassy Bill on a 90-0 Vote
JUNE 7, 2017
The U.S. Senate urged President Donald Trump to fulfill his campaign promise of relocating the American embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, unanimously passing legislation in support of the move Monday.  The Senate voted 90-0 in favor of a resolution introduced in May by Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), commemorating the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem’s reunification and acknowledging Israel’s sovereignty over its capital.
The resolution urges the “president and all United States officials to abide by” the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, which calls on the U.S. to relocate its embassy and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Since the law’s passage, every sitting president has signed successive six-month waivers delaying the move. Most recently, Trump signed the waiver June 1.

Times Square Hosts ‘Jesus Week’: 14,000 Attend for Prayer and Bible Readings in Heart of NYC
JUNE 7, 2017
After the recent tragedy in Times Square where a troubled former Navy recruit mowed down 23 pedestrians, killing one young girl, Christian leaders rallied together and brought Jesus Week to the heart of New York City.  A reported 14,000 people were in attendance this past weekend in Times Square for Jesus Week. Jesus Week is an evangelistic outreach that brought the churches of New York together to celebrate and lift up the name of Jesus through prayer, the reading of scripture and live performances.
The event was held by Concerts of Prayer – Greater New York (COPGNY) which is a Christ-centered network of pastors and churches led by Pastor Dimas Salaberrios, whose sole goal is to encourage prayer across “ethnic, economic and denominational lines.” Jesus Week kicked off on May 27 with the leaders of Concerts of Prayer going into every borough in NYC to pray, help the poor, and minister in schools and troubled neighborhoods. The week concluded on June 3 with a large stage set-up in Times Square.

100,000 New Converts Reported Per Year Despite Ongoing Crackdown in China
JUNE 7, 2017
The growth of the Christian faith in China continues its remarkable rise, with one pastor reporting as many as 100,000 new followers of Christ per year, despite the worsening human rights abuses and crackdown by communist authorities. The Rev. Erik Burklin of China Partner, which trains Chinese Christian leaders, said that God is in the business of “changing lives” and “building His Church.”  “Like Jesus said to Peter, ‘On this rock I will build my church.’ When He said

that, He said, ‘I will build my church.’ Not, ‘You Christians build my church,’ but, ‘I will,'” Burklin told Mission Network News.  He talked of surprising developments, such as a person with the central government donating close to $7.3 million for a new chapel at Union Theological Seminary in the city of Nanjing.  “I was just scratching my head, thinking to myself, ‘How in the world is it possible that in China, where Communism still runs the country, a person in the Central Government would donate so that a local school .

Syphilis cases hit highest level since 1949
JUNE 7, 2017
Syphiliss cases have reached the highest level since 1949 following a rise in unsafe sex as fears about HIV have faded, new figures suggest.  The official data shows the number of diagnoses has doubled in five years, with most cases occuring in gay and bisexual men.  It follows warnings from health officials that risky sexual behaviours – including unprotected activity,
“chem sex,” the use of “hookup” apps such as Grindr – and “poz” parties where HIV positive men select sexual partners – are fuelling the rise. The figures from Public Health England show 5,920 syphilis diagnoses in 2016 – a rise of 12 per cent in one year, and a near doubling from 3,001 cases in 2012.

5 Trends That Are Destroying The Middle Class In America
JUNE 7, 2017
(By Michael Snyder) The middle class in America has been shrinking for decades, and our leaders seem powerless to do anything about it. Two years ago, the middle class became a minority in this country for the first time ever. In other words, the middle class now accounts for less than 50 percent of the population. But back in the early 1970s, the middle class made up more than 60 percent of the population. I have often compared being in the middle class to playing a really bizarre game of musical chairs.
When the music stops playing each month, more chairs are being pulled out of the middle class, and most of us are just hoping that we will still have a chair for the next go around. Earlier today, I came across a USA Today article that discussed some of the factors that are slowly but surely eviscerating the middle class. I am going to share four of those factors with you, and at the end I am going to add one extra one. First of all, the article pointed to a decline in manufacturing and the rise of “service jobs” as one of the key trends that is changing the nature of work in America…

4 dead, dozens hospitalized in massive overdose in Georgia
JUNE 7, 2017
At least four people are dead and dozens more have been hospitalized after overdosing on what authorities in Georgia believe to be Percocet. A Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) spokesperson said reports of overdoses are still coming in and the number of fatalities could increase, AJC.com reported.  GBI spokesperson Nelly Miles told the news outlet that over the past 48 hours emergency workers in Macon, Centerville, Perry, Warner Robins and Albany responded to overdose
calls and found people unconscious and not breathing. Some had to be placed on a ventilator, AJC.com reported. The victims reportedly ingested a “yellow pill,” which authorities have not yet definitely identified.  The Georgia Department of Public Health called the pills “extremely potent” and warned that while the overdoses are concentrated in the middle and southern areas of the state, the drugs may be sold elsewhere, AJC.com reported.

Deputies say a naked woman attempted to get inside a Baptist church in Walterboro, South Carolina during Sunday services because she believed someone was chasing her.  According to an incident report from the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office, 43-year-old Teresha Dawn Frick said Jesus was chasing her through the woods and trying to shoot her
Sunday morning. The report states she also told deputies she was smoking crack and taking molly.  The incident happened at Bedon Baptist Church on Cottageville Highway. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Frick on the ground wearing only a towel.Deputies say she was transported to the hospital for treatment before being taken to jail. The incident report indicates she had several cuts and scratches all over her body from “being in the woods naked.”

Deadly Tick Virus Exploding Across America – Disease Kills 1 in 10 Victims
JUNE 7, 2017
Just as health departments across the nation are warning that this year’s milder winter bring an especially high threat from ticks in the spring and summer, federal health officials say two new cases of a tick-borne illness that kills 1 in 10 infected have been reported in Maine.  WND reported last month the Centers for Disease Control warned of the emergence of a far deadlier tick-related virus than Lyme Disease that kills 10 percent of those infected and permanently
disables another 50 percent.  It’s called POW for short, or Powassan, and it, like Lyme, is carried by deer.  According to a Fox News report, the cases in Maine bring that state’s count of infections to nine since 2000.  The patients were not identified by the CDC, but officials said the concerns are legitimate because the virus differs from Lyme disease in that it can be transmitted through a tick bite in only minutes.

The 20 Most Churched — and Unchurched — Cities in America
JUNE 7, 2017
A new report reveals the most “churched” and “unchurched” cities in America — the big cities that have the largest and smallest proportions of residents attending houses of worship each week.  Polling firm the Barna Group found that 38 percent of Americans are “active churchgoers,” compared to 43 percent who haven’t attended church in the past six months (i.e. the unchurched).
Additionally, 34 percent are dechurched, meaning they were former church members but haven’t attended in the past six months. As it turns out, the most churched cities in America are Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Salt Lake City, Utah, with 59 percent of the residents in both localities heading to houses of worship each week.

ISIS-Backed Militants Destroy Catholic Church in Philippines
JUNE 7, 2017
Some two weeks after ISIS-backed militants took control Marawi city leading Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to declare martial law on the island of Mindanao, the violence appears to be far from over. On May 23, Duterte placed the 22 million residents of Mindanao under military rule for at least the 60 days, after a raid to capture a terror suspect in the city
failed, causing violence to erupt and Muslim extremists to siege the city.Once a thriving metropolis, reports indicate that Marawi is nearly uninhabitable, with corpses strewn throughout the streets and armed militants threatening the lives of those who remain. Jihadists seized at least one Catholic church in the city, taking a priest and parishioners hostage.

Thousands of Dead Fish Surface in Concho River in Texas
JUNE 7, 2017
Dead fish are surfacing in the Concho River and washing ashore close to Miles on the Runnels/ Tom Green County line. Thousands of fish are dying and Texas Parks and Wildlife officials are trying to figure out why. The corpses of bass, carp, perch and catfish have all been found along the river bank near Mullins Crossing and about four miles south of HWY 67 in Tom Green County.
Area residents first spotted the washed up fish over the weekend, with even more turning up on Monday. Although it’s still unclear what killed the fish, the Inland Fisheries Division, a department with Texas Parks and Wildlife, went to the area and took a water sample that will be sent off for testing.

Astronomers warn fragments hidden in Taurids meteor shower’ could wipe out Nations
JUNE 6, 2017
Astronomers are warning that fragments of asteroids which could wipe out entire countries are hidden in the Taurids meteor shower.  The startling finding means that experts may not be able to spot the massive space rock hidden in the annual Taurids meteor shower until it is too late.  According to a group of researchers, one of the fragments could hit Earth in 2022, 2025, 2032 or 2039 during the annual meteor shower. The Taurids is a spectacular meteor shower that
lights up the night skies every November. The meteor shower is the trail of debris left by the comet Encke. But the debris could be obscuring two asteroid chunks known as 2015 TX24 and 2005 UR that are potentially Earth-bound. Earth’s orbit passes through the region in space every few years, and experts from the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Science believe that we are drawing closer to it, and that there may be more unknown chunks that experts have not recognized yet.

Deadly tick disease that can be transmitted in minutes reported in Maine
JUNE 6, 2017
Two new cases of a dangerous and potentially fatal tick-borne illness have health officials in Maine on high alert as agencies across the nation brace for a particularly high-population tick season. The patients, who were not identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), contracted Powassan virus, which differs from Lyme disease as it can be transferred from tick to human in a matter of minutes.  “It’s a virus, whereas Lyme is a bacteria,” Dr. Kent Holtorf,
a Lyme disease expert and medical director of Holtorf Medical Group, told Fox News. “If you catch Lyme early, antibiotics can eradicate it, but with a virus, you have much less options to do anything about it.” Holtorf added that the symptoms of Powassan are more severe than Lyme, and can quickly reach a patient’s brain, leaving them susceptible to long-term neurological damage.

Calf born with ‘human face’ treated as ‘incarnation’ of Hindu god in India
JUNE 6, 2017
A deformed calf born with human-like features is reportedly being treated as a representation of the Hindu god Vishnu in a village in northern India.  The bull calf was born in the village of Pachenda, Muzaffarnagar, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The bizarre creature has very peculiar features, including an almost human-like mouth, ears and nose.  The deformed
animal died shortly after birth, but has been placed on display and people have been flocking to visit the unusual animal. Reports in local media say the calf is being hailed as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Video footage obtained by Ruptly shows crowds of people gathering to look at the animal, which is in a glass display case with flowers garlanded around its neck. Cows are considered sacred in India in accordance with Hindu beliefs.

DEVELOPING: Dearborn, Michigan Link To London Jihad Massacre
JUNE 6, 2017
People who knew the jihadists who struck Saturday with long knives against defenseless London diners saw something, and they said something. But the British government did nothing.  In fact, one of the three attackers was reported to authorities for following the teachings of a known radical sheik based in Dearborn, Michigan.  Dearborn is home to the
largest Arab-American community in the U.S.  According to the London Telegraph, a former friend of one of the three dead London suspects claimed one of the attackers had been radicalized while watching Dearborn cleric Ahmad Musa Jibril’s YouTube videos, and he said he contacted authorities after becoming concerned about his friend’s Islamist views. The Telegraph described the Dearborn sheik as “infamous American hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril.”

United Methodist Church Conference Ordains First ‘Nonbinary Trans’ Provisional Deacon
JUNE 6, 2017
A regional body of the United Methodist Church has ordained a transgender individual who doesn’t identify as male or female to the position of provisional deacon.  The Northern Illinois Conference commissioned M Barclay, who serves as director of communications for the pro-LGBT advocacy group Reconciling Ministries Network, as a provisional deacon on Sunday.
“For so long, I’ve longed to be a pastoral presence in the world — and certainly you can do that without a collar — but we have ordination for a reason, and part of that is that I can publicly identify as a pastor now,” stated Barclay, as reported by United Methodist News Service. “I know it’s not particularly common in The United Methodist Church, but I intend to wear a collar every single day because for a person like me to navigate society in a collar provides some profound and urgently needed pastoral opportunities, particularly for queer and trans people.”

A major eruption occurred at Mount Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan at 22:56 UTC on June 5, 2017 (07:56 JST on June 6). This is the second significant eruption at the volcano in recent weeks.  The eruption occured at Showa crater, ejecting a plume of ash up to 4.2 km (14 000 feet) above sea level, according to the Tokyo VAAC.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned that similar eruptions could occur at the volcano at any time. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.  JMA maintains at Level 3, orange alert, signifying the volcano is active and should not approach.  Mr. James Reynolds of Earth Uncut TV has an excellent video footage of the event:

UN Secretary-General Flips the Script on Israel
JUNE 6, 2017
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern with Israel’s “occupation” in the disputed territories on the Gregorian calendar’s 50th anniversary of the start of the Six-Day War, which saw Israel take control over eastern Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from June 5-10.
Guterres, who has previously slammed critics of Israel as anti-Semites and reaffirmed Jerusalem’s Jewish roots, shifted gears by saying the Israeli “occupation” sends “an unmistakable message to generations of Palestinians that their dream of statehood is destined to remain just that, a dream; and to Israelis that their desire for peace, security and regional recognition remains unattainable.” The U.N. leader said only a two-state solution would “achieve the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.”

Trump not welcomed in Britain, London mayor, Sadiq Khan urges government to cancel visit
JUNE 6, 2017
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has called on the British government to cancel a planned state visit by Donald Trump after being criticised in two tweets by the US president. Trump initially criticised Khan for his response to the London Bridge terrorist attack; though, in doing so, he misquoted London’s mayor. Khan’s office pointed out Trump’s error later but the president responded by accusing London’s mayor of making a “pathetic excuse”. Appearing on Channel 4 News on
Monday evening, Khan said Trump was wrong about “many things” and that his state visit should not go ahead. “I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for,” he said. “When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity but you call them out when they are wrong. There are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.”

DEVELOPING: French police shoot attacker outside Notre Dame cathedral in Paris
JUNE 6, 2017
French police have shot a man outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris after he tried to attack them with a hammer and shouted “this is for Syria”, according to the interior minister.  He was also in possession of two knives. One policeman was lightly injured in the attack. The man also said he was a “soldier of Daesh (ISIL)”, according to a source on the
investigation.  The main square has been evacuated and a police operation is underway.  Paris police say the situation is now “under control”. Anti-terror prosecutors have launched an investigation meaning they consider the attack terror-related.  Gérard Collomb, the interior minister, who visited the scene shortly afterward, said: “A person armed with a hammer started hitting a police officer. His colleague opened fire, ensuring the attacked officer didn’t suffer any more serious harm.

A 25-year-old Federal contractor was charged Monday with leaking a top secret NSA report — detailing how Russian military hackers targeted US voting systems just days before the election.  The highly classified intelligence document, published Monday by The Intercept, describes how Russia managed to infiltrate America’s voting infrastructure using a
spear-phishing email scheme that targeted local government officials and employees.  It claims the calculated cyberattack may have even been more far-reaching and devious than previously thought. The report is believed to be the most detailed US government account of Russia’s interference to date.

Do Terror Attacks Point to the End Times?
JUNE 6, 2017
Do the daily reports of evil in our world make you think we’re in the end times and near the return of Jesus Christ? Pastor Phil Hotsenpiller, author of One Nation Without Law, says one of the biggest indicators that we are living in the end times is the rampant spirit of lawlessness.  “Lawlessness is more than lawbreaking. It is a spirit that began with Lucifer before the creation of man and it runs completely through our Biblical narrative and history, culminating in Revelation chapter
18,” he says. With the daily reports of terror attacks, violence and bloodshed, Hotsenpiller believes the spirit of lawlessness will only get worse. “Lawlessness will increase. Jesus told us that. He said you’re going to see evil men get worse, you’re going to see lawlessness increase, you’re going to see men be lovers of self, all of these different things coming into place and society will be unable to deal with it.”

Why Are So Many Big Investors Positioning Themselves To Make Giant Amounts Of Money If The Stock Market Crashes?
JUNE 6, 2017
(By Michael Snyder) I keep hearing from people that think that the stock market is going to crash by the end of the year.  Hopefully that will not happen, but the ridiculous stock prices that we are seeing right now certainly cannot last forever.  On Sunday, I was chatting with a friend that had just been to a financial conference.  He was quite surprised that one of the things being taught to the attendees of this conference was how to position themselves to make an enormous amount of money when
the stock market crashes dramatically in the near future.  Markets tend to go down a lot faster than they go up, and so when the inevitable market crash does take place those that have made large bets against the market will make huge fortunes.  It happened in 2008, and it will happen again.  But it was unsettling to my friend Robert that there were so many people that were gleefully looking forward to this.  Of course some of the biggest names in the investing world are also anticipating a major downturn very soon.  I have previously written about how Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Researchers will attempt to resurrect the dead with stem cells
JUNE 6, 2017
Brain death may no longer be a life sentence if one Philadelphia-based biomedical startup has its way. The company, Bioquark, plans to initiate a study later this year to see if a combination of stem cell and protein blend injections, electrical nerve stimulation, and laser therapy can reverse the effects of recent brain death. They’re literally trying to bring people back from the dead.
“It’s our contention that there’s no single magic bullet for this, so to start with a single magic bullet makes no sense. Hence why we have to take a different approach,” Bioquark CEO, Ira Pastor, told Stat News. As Pastor told the Washington Post last year, he doesn’t believe that brain death is necessarily a permanent condition, at least to start. It may well be curable, he argued, if the patient is administered the right combination of stimuli, ranging from stem cells to magnetic fields.

London Terrorist Attempted To Radicalize Children
JUNE 6, 2017
One of the three jihadists who murdered revellers in central London on Saturday had been reported to the anti-terror police on at least two occasions, it has been claimed.  A former friend of the terrorist, who was shot dead by police along with two accomplices, claimed he had been radicalised while watching YouTube videos and said he contacted the authorities ­after becoming concerned over his friend’s extremist views.  A neighbour also claimed she had contacted police
in Barking, east London, after the suspect tried to convert her children to Islam and radicalise them. The man is not being named at the request of the police. The former friend claimed he contacted police after comments the man made about other previous attacks. But he said the authorities had failed to act and take action despite evidence of increasingly extremist views.

Huge deep hole on Mars leaves scientists baffled…
JUNE 6, 2017
A depression huge and deep on Mars has left astronomers baffled. It was discovered by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NRO), which has been studying the Martian surface for 11 years. The vast pit, estimated to be hundreds of feet across and surrounded by frozen carbon dioxide, is located on the south pole of Mars— sticking out among the Swiss cheese terrain of Earth’s closest neighbor.  According to NASA, “the depressions are thought to be caused by sublimation,

which is when a material goes directly from a solid to a gas phase.”  According to Science Alert, there are many ways such holes are formed on Mars, which is colder than Earth— meteorites leave craters; lava tubes collapse and produce deep pits; floods from long ago hollow out grand canyons, and volcanos melts ice fashioning funnels. The depression was discovered by the MRO’s High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE camera, which allows NASA to see Martian objects larger than 3 feet from about 125 to 250 miles above.

U.S. poised to warn U.N. rights forum of possible withdrawal
JUNE 5, 2017
The United States is expected to signal on Tuesday that it might withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council unless reforms are ushered in including the removal of what it sees as an “anti-Israel bias”, diplomats and activists said. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, who holds cabinet rank in President Donald Trump’s administration, said last week Washington would decide on whether to withdraw from the Council after its three-week session in Geneva ends this
month.  Under Trump, Washington has broken with decades of U.S. foreign policy by turning away from multilateralism. His decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement last week drew criticism from governments around the world. The Council’s critical stance of Israel has been a major sticking point for its ally the United States. Washington boycotted the body for three years under President George W. Bush before rejoining under Barack Obama in 2009.

Muslim and Latino groups unite during Ramadan
JUNE 5, 2017
Orange County activists Rida Hamida and Ben Vazquez wanted to find a way to promote unity among the region’s Muslim and Latino communities, so they came up with a novel idea.  After daily fasting as part of the holy month of Ramadan, dozens of local Muslims joined their Latino neighbors Saturday night in the parking lot of the new Islamic Center of Santa Ana to take part in the inaugural event of the campaign dubbed Taco Trucks at Every Mosque.
Organizers said the idea is to demystify Islam through the sharing of food and to unite two groups, Muslims and Latinos, facing increasing discrimination in the Trump era. They invited community members to sit down together after sunset — and the breaking of the day’s fast — with a meal called iftar.

Muslims in Philippines Risking Lives to Help Dozens of Christians Escape ISIS Persecution
JUNE 5, 2017
As the Filipino government continues to fight ISIS-backed militants for control of Marawi city, local Muslims are coming to the aid of their Christian neighbors despite the dangers associated with doing so. Since the terrorists took control of the major metropolis late last month, residents have found their city nearly uninhabitable, with corpses strewn throughout the streets and armed extremists threatening the lives of those who remain.  Although the Philippines is a predominantly
Catholic country, Marawi has a large Muslim population. In the midst of the ISIS-led stronghold, it is the Christians who find themselves in particular danger. Jihadists seized at least one Catholic church in the city, taking a priest and parishioners hostage.  But as the Christian Post reports, those that remain are finding refuge. There are a growing number of examples of Muslims helping their Christian neighbors. Lenny Paccon opened her home to more than 50 people and subsequently helped them escape the area.

Warring Against the Delusion Plaguing Today’s Church
JUNE 5, 2017
(By F.Dean Hackett) It was terribly disenchanting.  He remembered when his alma mater was grounded in the Word of God and the light of truth shone bright. It had been 26 years since he was a student on campus. He had returned as a tutor two years after graduation and taught for six years. The 18 years intervening had seen a flood of rationalism and acceptance of the philosophy of Voltaire and Rousseau.  Age of Reason by Thomas Paine was being read by almost every college student. Now the distortion and deception of the Enlightenment resounded from the lecterns and filled the debates of Yale. Holy
living was equated to a puritanical attitude. Compromising lifestyles and immorality was the behavior of students and faculty. Princeton, Harvard and New Haven were suffering the same spiritual darkness. Indeed, virtually every college campus in the newborn nation had been captured by the Enlightenment. The selection of Timothy Dwight, grandson of the spiritual giant from the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards, as the new president of Yale College was truly a divine appointment.

Franklin Graham Warns US and UK Need to Wake Up to Threat of Islam ‘Before It’s Too Late’
JUNE 5, 2017
After terrorists killed seven and injured 48 others in two attacks claimed by the Islamic State in London Saturday night, Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, took to his Facebook page to issue his thoughts, as he has often done following terror attacks. “Since 9/11, I have been warning America about the dangers of the teachings of Islam,” Graham wrote on his Facebook page Sunday. “Followers of Islam
are taught very troubling passages that encourage them to murder and maim those they refer to infidels, or nonbelievers. With the internet and social media, radicalization is only increasing — and the dangers are continuing to increase.” “Many times, sadly, it is the young who are pulled into these teachings that encourage murder and rape in the name of the god of Islam,” Graham continued.

Army of 27,000 Preparing for Gaza for War with Israel
JUNE 5, 2017
If things weren’t bad enough for residents of the Gaza Strip, the ocean — the only place where they could escape the heat and their suffering — has been declared off-limits to bathers in much of the area. The decision was taken by the Gaza municipality, citing the severe pollution of the beaches. Gaza’s sewage treatment plants have shut down due to the
ongoing power shortage, and as a result, untreated sewage has been flowing into the sea.“The only place we could go to have fun has been closed too,” said T., a Gaza City resident, in a telephone interview. “There are a few beaches in the northern Gaza Strip where swimming is still possible, but they’re far away. So where are we going to go? There’s no pay, no power, no beach. We’re swimming in sh**,” he added, laughing bitterly.

Supreme Court Refuses to Help Marine Punished for Posting Bible Verses
JUNE 5, 2017
The Supreme Court of the United States has decided not to review an appeal from a Christian Marine who was punished for displaying a Bible verse in her office. Marine Lance Cpl. Monifa Sterling was court-martialed and given a bad conduct discharge after refusing to remove an inspirational scripture – “No weapon formed against me shall prosper” from Isaiah 54:17 – she posted at her workstation in 2013.
Monday’s decision by the high court upholds the rulings of lower courts, which determined orders from Sterling’s superiors did not place a “substantial burden” on her First Amendment right to religious expression. The First Liberty Institute, the legal group representing Sterling, disagreed, saying her punishment was a violation of her religious freedom in a landmark case that could set a military precedent for decades.

Americans armed at record level as terror attacks increase around the world
JUNE 5, 2017
The spurt in terror attacks, including the recent two in England, are pushing gun sales into record territory just months after predictions that the election of a pro-gun president would end the rush.  The FBI just reported that the number of gun sales background checks for May was the highest ever for that month, 1,942,677, a trend that will make 2017 the first or second highest year for gun sales. The continued growth of gun sales is in stark contrast to some in the media and
industry who feared that the election of President Trump would snuff out sales that in 2016 were driven in part by concerns Hillary Clinton would win and implement strict gun control and an assault weapons ban. But 2017’s high sales numbers has show that there is more than politics involved when people consider buying a weapon, especially in the new era of street terrorism like that seen in London and Manchester recently.

Show Glorifying False Gods Claims Jesus Is an Illegal Immigrant
JUNE 5, 2017
American Gods debuted its first version of Jesus in a recent episode, depicting the Son of God walking on water to save Mexican immigrants.  The opening scene shows “Mexican Jesus” helping immigrants moments before he is brutally attacked by border militia.  “The moment where the sinking swimmer sees Christ walking on water, we didn’t want that to be a giggle,” showrunner Michael Green tells EW. “We wanted that to be a moment where we actually felt, as a deeply
believing Catholic might, that they’ve just come very, very close to the Divine, and that the Divine cares; that the Divine is watching out for you and the Divine will actively reach a hand out to help you survive to reach your dream. Then the Divine, which is an aspect of yourself as much as you are an aspect of it, is then susceptible to the same dangers you are. The Divine’s blood is spilled along with your own.

Benny Hinn Launching TV Channel Showcasing ‘Miracles’ From God in Preparation for ‘Last Days’


JUNE 5, 2017
ATTENTION: The Following report does not reflect the view opinions, advocation or promotion of Benny Hinn by End Time Headlines. 
Controversial televangelist Benny Hinn of Benny Hinn Ministries, along with Nigerian Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, president of Believers’ LoveWorld, have announced that they’re launching a new TV channel to showcase the “miracles” and glory of God.  CBN News reported Friday that the channel, dubbed “LoveWorld USA,” will be available on Spectrum cable in the United States.  Oyakhilome and Hinn made the initial announcement last week, where the Believers’ LoveWorld leader
said the world is living in the “last days,” and the new channel will be an effort to showcase God’s glory before the return of Jesus Christ. Oyakhilome said in a Facebook video that the channel will specifically focus on “the power of the Holy Ghost.”  Hinn, who leads so-called miracle crusades around the world, said, “we don’t want just another boring network, we want signs and wonders, miracles” that attest to God’s power.

DEVELOPING: Multiple fatalities after gunman opens fire at business headquarters in Florida
JUNE 5, 2017
Police are investigating ‘multiple fatalities’ following a mass shooting at business premises on a busy industrial estate in Orlando in Orange County, Florida.  Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed they are investigating a shooting on Forsyth Road – near the junction with Hanging Moss Road – believed to have occurred at around 8am on Monday morning (1pm UK time). They tweeted there are “multiple fatalities” but are refusing to give any more information until they hold a press
conference later. They are requesting media do not contact them as they try to establish what has happened. But they added that the situations is “contained and stable” – suggesting there is no gunman on the loose. Confused early reports suggest that there may have only been one gunman, yet to be confirmed.  The location is also unclear but is understood to be a warehouse on an industrial estate.

Are You Ready For Your Hardware Update for the Brain?
JUNE 5, 2017
Emily Borghard has a computer inside her skull, but you wouldn’t know it to look at her. A small bump behind her left ear, the only external evidence of her implant, is partially covered by a tuft of hair that’s still growing in from the last time she had the batteries changed.  Before Borghard received a brain implant, she was having as many as 400 “spikes” of seizure-like activity a day, along with multiple seizures. This unrelenting storm of abnormal neural activity turned her teenage
years into a semiconscious nightmare. She couldn’t drive a car, attend classes or be left alone for more than half an hour. “People were finding me on the floor, finding me walking around the small college town we were living in, confused and not knowing what was going on,” she says.  In 2011, at the age of 19, Borghard underwent a radical surgical procedure for drug-resistant epilepsy. Surgeons cut into her skull and implanted a small, self-contained computer that resembles a Zippo lighter in the hippocampus of her brain.

Prostate cancer drug trial breakthrough could DOUBLE life expectancy
JUNE 5, 2017
A treatment that could more than double the life expectancy of prostate cancer sufferers has been hailed as a once-in-a-career discovery.  Researchers believe giving patients two drug treatments at once cuts disease progression and offers some patients the chance of a cure.  It could help 20,000 men who are diagnosed with the illness each year.  Those with
the most advanced form of the disease, about 5,000, could see their life expectancy jump from 3.5 years to seven years on average.  Of the 15,000 diagnosed when the disease had not spread, most could expect to live as long as they would if they were cancer-free.  The clinical trial, run by Cancer Research UK and believed to be the biggest cancer trial in the world, included about 1,900 men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer which had not spread.

This Evil Megatrend Will Precede the Antichrist
JUNE 5, 2017
(By Mike Shreve) It is very apparent that we are living in the last days. Speaking of the coming of the Lord and the catching away of the saints, Paul wrote: Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For that Day will not come unless a falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself as God (2 Thess. 2:3-4).

The word translated “falling away” is apostasia (pronounced ap-os-tas-ee’-ah) from which we get our English word “apostasy.” Notice that this evil megatrend will come right before the Antichrist publicly assigns godhood to himself. In reality, it is the same spirit. For those who “fall away” from the truth enthrone themselves as gods over their own lives and their own belief systems, robbing the true God of His rightful place. The most sobering thought is that you can’t “fall away” from something unless you once possessed it.

Trump urges end to political correctness in wake of London attack
JUNE 4, 2017
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged the world to stop being “politically correct” in order to ensure security, after three attackers drove a van into pedestrians and stabbed revelers in London, killing seven.  At least 48 people were injured in the attack, the third to hit Britain in less than three months and occurring days ahead of a snap parliamentary election on Thursday.
“We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people,” Trump wrote on Sunday morning. “If we don’t get smart it will only get worse.” He continued: “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!'”

Muslims Take Over NYC Street, Start Praying in Front of Trump Tower…
JUNE 4, 2017
Muslims continued on with their civilization Jihad as they took over the street in front of Trump Tower during ‘Iftar’ or ‘breaking their Ramadan fast’. There is no reason for this other than Muslims letting the infidels know that they here and working on their Islamic takeover.  Of course Hamas-linked, Linda Sarsour was also there spewing more lies about her
intentions as a Muslim activist. She claims Trump is full of hatred and divisiveness which of course is untrue. The real hate and divisiveness comes from Islam and Sarsour knows it.  Muslim countries are the most bigoted places on earth. Several Muslim countries don’t even allow Israeli Jews to enter, yet Sarsour acts like a victim. Saudi Arabia prohibits Christian churches and Jewish Synagogues from being built, so save us the crocodile tears, Sarsour.

UPDATE: Death toll could rise in London Bridge terror attack: 7 dead, 21 critical
JUNE 5, 2017
Authorities said 21 people remained in critical condition Sunday after a rampage at the iconic London Bridge and a nearby market that left seven dead and dozens more injured.  Three suspected terrorists also were killed in Saturday night’s attack, the third in Britain in less than three months.  “It is time to say enough is enough,” Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday. She called for tougher measures to contain Islamic extremism, saying the recent attacks are not directly
linked, but “terrorism breeds terrorism.”  “They are bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division, and promotes sectarianism,” she said. “It is an ideology that claims our Western values and freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam.” No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Eyewitnesses said they heard the men shout “this is for Allah,” British media reported.

UK eyes burka ban and stripping terror suspects’ citizenship after attacks
JUNE 5, 2017
After yet another deadly terrorist attack swept through the streets of Britain late Saturday, lawmakers and leaders were scrambling to take back the reins and foil any further tragedies. British Prime Minister Theresa May, speaking Sunday after a meeting of the government’s COBRA emergency committee, claimed there was “too much tolerance” of Islamist
extremism in the U.K. and insisted that the country’s counterterrorism strategy would be reviewed. While such reviews remain in preliminary stages, a British intelligence source told Fox News that it is an “all hands at the pump” approach, with Joint Intelligence Operations to be carried out collaboratively with M15, Scotland Yard and the Army’s Special Air Service (SAS) all involved.

How Steph Curry Carries the Bible With Him On and Off the Court
JUNE 5, 2017
To say that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers got outplayed by the Warriors in game 1 of the 2017 NBA finals would be a serious understatement.  One thing we know is certain, Golden State is tough to beat when Stephen Curry finds his groove. From a guy who many thought was too little to play at the highest level to becoming the league’s most valuable player, Steph Curry’s journey has been one propelled by hard work and dedication.
Some years back, Alan Stein attended the inaugural Kobe Bryant Nike Skills Academy and noticed something unusual about Curry.  In a YouTube video recapping the event, Alan noted that it was Steph’s habits and work ethic that shined brighter than any other player’s talent.  Before each session, Steph Curry had already drained 100 – 150 shots and was in a full sweat by the time his peers hit the floor.

5,000 Canadians March in Support of Trump, Against Liberal Trudeau Administration
JUNE 5, 2017
A group of up to 5,000 Canadian citizens marched on Canada’s capital on Saturday in support of U.S. President Donald Trump’s conservative agenda and against the liberal agenda of their own Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. The marchers gathered to protest the country’s spiraling tax rate, its recent attacks on free speech, and the government’s wild over-
spending, Daily Caller reported. Event organizer Mike Waine, who called his march the “Million Deplorable March” in emulation of the name Hillary Clinton made up for Donald Trump’s supporters, said he is annoyed that PM Trudeau gets a free pass from the Canadian media.

MSNBC Anchor Asks If Trump Trying To Provoke A Domestic Terror Attack ‘For His Own Gain’
JUNE 5, 2017
Sunday, MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts asked twice if President Donald Trump is trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack in order to “prove himself right” about Islamic terrorism.  In separate interviews, Roberts asked if Trump’s tweets had the nefarious motive, first with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and then with former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
Trump’s tweet about Saturday’s terror attacks in London read, “We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse.” Roberts asked Reed, “The president doesn’t want us to be politically correct, right? So let’s not be PC about this. Is the president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with this Twitter rant, because, only to prove himself right?”

CNN host calls Trump ‘piece of sh–‘ after president calls for tougher actions against terrorists
JUNE 5, 2017
After Donald Trump posted a tweet Saturday urging “smart, vigilant and tough” actions in response to the London Bridge attack, CNN host Reza Aslan, best known for his multicultural human brain-eating stunt, labeled the president “a piece of sh–” in a retaliatory post. Here’s Trump’s post:  “We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!” the president urged. Aslan posted and has since
removed his uncensored tweet, which stated: “This piece of sh– is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He’s an embarrassment to humankind.”  Sunday afternoon, Aslan posted an apology for his obscene outburst.  “I should not have used a profanity to describe the President when responding to his shocking reaction to the #LondonAttacks. My statement: “When in the first few minutes of the terror attack in London, the President of the United States tweeted about his travel ban, I lost my cool and responded to him in a derogatory fashion.

Deadly 23.6 inches of rain within 11 hours floods Taiwan, shuts down nuclear plant
JUNE 4, 2017
Brutal amounts of rainfall hit northern Taiwan today, June 2, 2017, killing at least 1 person, leaving 2 missing and injuring more than 20. Heavy rain toppled electricity pylon near New Taipei’s Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in the automatic shutdown of the plant. The rains have since moved toward the center and south of the island and are expected
to continue through the weekend.  Some areas of the affected region saw water surging into cars, homes and businesses
after more than 600 mm (23.6 inches) of rain fell in under 11 hours. Channel News Asia reported the body of a female motorcyclist was found after being washed into a ditch in New Taipei City, one of the worst hit areas. According to the National Fire Agency, two people, one from New Taipei City and the other from the city of Keelung are missing after being swept off, while a road bridge in the area was smashed in half by a swollen river.

Strong and shallow Magnitude 6.0 earthquake strikes Balleny Islands off Antarctica
JUNE 4, 2017
A strong and shallow M6.0 earthquake hit the Balleny Islands off Antarctica on June 4, 2017.  The earthquake hit close of the epicenter of a Magnitude 8.1 earthquake in 1998 that struck just over 700 km (430 mi) west-northwest of the Islands. In the Balleny Islands’ archipelago, the Buckle, Sturge and Young Islands are examples of stratovolcanoes. Strong
earthquakes very close to the islands are rare, but tremors of moderate strength do occur over the Pacific–Antarctic Ridge, Macquarie Triple Junction and Pacific Rim between the Balleny Islands and Macquarie Island. Other earthquakes occur near the Southeast Indian Ridge and Balleny Fracture Zone, including a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in 1998 that struck just over 700 km (430 mi) west-northwest of the Islands.

Ontario Passes Law Allowing Gov’t to Seize Children From Parents Who Oppose Gender Transition


JUNE 4, 2017
Canada’s Ontario province has passed legislation that allows the government to seize children from families that refuse to accept their child’s chosen “gender identity” or “gender expression.”  The so-called Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act of 2017, or Bill 89, was approved by a vote of 63 to 23, according to The Christian Times.  It requires child protection, foster, adoption service providers, and judges to take into account and respect a child’s “race, ancestry, place of
origin, color, ethnic origin, citizenship, family diversity, disability, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.”  “I would consider that a form of abuse, when a child identifies one way and a caregiver is saying no, you need to do this differently,” Minister of Child and Family Services Michael Coteau, who introduced the bill, was quoted as saying. “If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”

Key Founding Fathers are being erased from U.S. history books
JUNE 2, 2017
Some of the most important names associated with the push for limited government at America’s founding have been shoved out of history, contends Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who added that the effort has coincided with an expanding federal government.  Lee, who recently was elected to a second term in the U.S. Senate, is author of “Written Out of History: The Forgotten Founders Who Fought Big Government,” which he said is designed to give adults and children a better idea of

the vision of the nation’s Founding Fathers. Lee told WND and Radio America limited government isn’t some anachronistic vestige of the colonial era but the fundamental premise of the U.S. system of government. “It’s very important for parents to emphasize to their children at a young age that that’s the whole reason why we have a Constitution, is to limit the power of government,” Lee said. “Those limits need to mean something, but they can only be meaningful if we recognize them, enforce them and talk about them.”

.End-Times Pastor Breaks Down Why He Believes the Manchester Terror Attack is Evidence We’re ‘Living in Prophetic Days’
JUNE 2, 2017
Pastor and author Phil Hotsenpiller believes that many of the modern-day atrocities involving terrorism, shootings and other acts of violence have a direct tie to biblical prophecy.  In his soon-to-release book, “One Nation Without Law: The Rise of Lawlessness, the End Times and the Power of Hope,” Hotsenpiller will attempt to “connect the dots between biblical prophecy about lawlessness and current events.”

He told the Christian Post in a recent interview that he believes evil has embedded in the minds of terrorists and others who commit such horrific acts, and that the recent Manchester terror attack offers a prime example of this paradigm. “A lot of people, we look at something like Manchester and we think of lawbreakers but we don’t think about a spirit behind that and where that originated from,” Hotsenpiller told the Christian Post. “I really try to grapple with the hard questions — like what is really going in our world with the shootings, with terror attacks, how we can connect biblical prophecies to lawlessness and current events.”

Earthquake swarm continues at Taupo Volcanic Zone, NZ with more than 2339 quakes
JUNE 2, 2017
This monthlong swarm of earthquakes has been ongoing since 13 February and consists of three major pulses of activity, with about 20 days between them about 10 km west of Turangi, New Zealand. To date, there have been 2339 earthquakes located, 587 since Friday 25 May. Currently, there are no indications that the earthquakes are related to volcanic activity, being located well away from the active volcanoes. But of course, nothing is more unsure!  In this new activity phase, there

have been 11 earthquakes over M3, however, none are over M3.5. The events are occurring between about 4 and 12 km depth and most are in the 5-9 km depth range. The Taupo Volcanic Zone is a rifting area, growing wider each year by 6-9 mm. These earthquakes are located on the western boundary of the Zone and are likely to be related to the long-term ‘tectonic’ stretching of the Zone. 


Trump Is The Number One Topic On The Agenda Of The Bilderberg Group This Year
JUNE 2, 2017
(Reported By Michael Snyder) The Bilderberg Group conference is being held less than 30 miles from the White House, and the number one subject on the official agenda this year is Donald Trump. The three day summit began on Thursday, and the Westfields Marriot in Chantilly, Virginia has essentially been transformed into an armed fortress in order to protect the 131 dignitaries that are attending. But unlike other gatherings of world leaders, the mainstream media won’t be telling us what is going on inside
because reporters are banned. These meetings are designed to be highly secretive, and for many years you were labeled a “conspiracy theorist” if you even suggested that the Bilderberg Group existed. Thanks to the relentless work of investigative journalists, we know a lot more about Bilderberg these days, and they have taken a few steps toward becoming more public. READ MORE

President Donald Trump Being Accused of Backtracking on a Major Campaign Promise Involving Israel
JUNE 2, 2017
President Donald Trump has — at least for now — backtracked on his campaign promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from its current location in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, signing a waver that will delay such a move for at least the next six months.  In a statement issued to the Washington Post, the White House sought to soften claims that Trump is backing away from his pledge, proclaiming that “the question is not if” the embassy will eventually move “but only when.” “While
President Donald J. Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President’s strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance,” the statement read. “President Trump made this decision to maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America’s national security interests.”

Trump to Remove Obama-Era Bans on Birth-Control Exemption
JUNE 2, 2017
The Trump administration is considering taking steps to broaden the Obamacare limits on claiming a religious or moral exemption from providing health insurance that covers birth control, Vox news reported on Wednesday.  The Vox website posted a copy of a draft of a new rule it said the administration was reviewing. The rule would undermine coverage for one
of the 10 essential health benefits covered by President Barack Obama’s signature piece of domestic legislation, which Republicans have vowed to repeal and replace. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declined to comment and spokeswoman Alleigh Marre said it does not “comment on alleged drafts of documents.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

San Diego faces heightened risk of major earthquakes…
JUNE 2, 2017
New research released this week found that a fault under the heart of San Diego can produce stronger and more frequent earthquakes than previously thought.  It’s the second study in recent months pointing to heightened quake risks in the San Diego area. Here is a breakdown:  San Diego’s Rose Canyon fault produces powerful earthquakes more frequently than once believed, according to researchers from San Diego State University.
SDSU scientists who studied the fault in Old Town determined that the system — which before about 1990 was thought to be inactive — generates a magnitude 6.5 to 6.8 earthquake about once every 700 years.  Seismologist Tom Rockwell said that earlier work indicated that such quakes occur every 1,000 to 1,500 years on the 40-mile-long fault, which extends from San Diego Bay, through Old Town and across Mission Valley, and up Rose Canyon through Mt. Soledad, to offshore at La Jolla. READ MORE http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-san-diego-quake-20170601-htmlstory.html


This Group of Persecuted Believers Is Refusing to Compromise the Gospel
JUNE 2, 2017
(By Dr. Rutland) Last week I was in Washington, D.C., at the invitation of International Christian Concern to speak at their one-day Summit Conference. Though ICC and all the speakers and I are burdened for persecuted Christians everywhere, the specific topic of this summit was North Korea.  Two congressmen spoke, including Rep. Chris Smith from New Jersey.
Rep. Smith is a congressional leader on issues of international religious freedom. Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. James Lankford also spoke, and they proved to be knowledgeable and moving speakers.  A North Korean escapee gave a harrowing account of his miraculous deliverance from the reign of terror now prevailing in that poor country. I also spoke. Each speaker was asked to speak for 10 minutes. I thought my readers might like to see this brief message.

Attendance Drops at Disney Parks Worldwide…
JUNE 2, 2017
In a rare slowdown in one of the hottest areas of the entertainment business, attendance declined at 13 of 14 Disney theme parks around the world in 2016 compared with 2015, according to an independent report released on Thursday. Higher prices, intended in part to ease crowding at certain parks, were a major contributor, analysts said.  Attendance, of course, does not equal profit. The Walt Disney Company’s theme park unit had operating income of $3.3 billion in fiscal 2016, a 9
percent increase from the year before, in part because of a new ticketing strategy that raised prices for peak periods by 20 percent.  But a simultaneous attendance decline at 13 Disney parks — all except Shanghai Disneyland, which has not been open a year — is notable because it rarely happens. More typical has been scorching annual growth, so much so that Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., reaches capacity on certain days.

The Bank of England has inflated a mammoth asset bubble with its staggering money-printing program and has now backed itself into a dangerous corner, a top investment manager has warned.  British households are suffering surging inflation that could be tackled by raising interest rates, if policy makers led by Governor Mark Carney raised interest rates, according to David Roberts fund manager at Kames Capital.
The Bank is scraping around for excuses to keep interest rates low for as long as possible, including blaming Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, he said.  But the real reason is the Bank’s quantitative easing program, which has injected £435billion into the economy since 2009 by buying Government debts – known as bonds – said Mr Roberts.

DEVELOPING: Gunfire and explosions heard outside Resorts World Manila, Philippines
JUNE 1, 2017
SWAT teams and fire brigades have surrounded the large Resorts World Manila complex, located next to the Philippine capital’s international airport, after reports of gunfire and explosions inside.  Eyewitnesses posted videos on Twitter in which apparent gunshots could be heard emanating from the country’s biggest leisure center, which includes a mall,
cinema and casino, while photos were uploaded of a panicky crowd gathered outside. One picture featured white smoke billowing from the top of the complex. Casualties were seen being carried out on stretchers and loaded up onto ambulances or helped to make their own way out of the center in the aftermath of the incident, which occurred at about 1:30am local time on Friday morning.

Who’s Really Teaching Our Kids Education in America?
JUNE 1, 2017
Should Christian parents choose public school, private school — or opt to educate their children at home? That was just one of the topics discussed on the most recent episode of “Pure Talk,” an online culture and entertainment show brought to you by Pure Flix and Faithwire, with Greg Gudorf, CEO of Pure Flix digital, making an important point about the power
of cultural and media influence on kids.  In the end, Gudorf said children today, unfortunately, spend much more time consuming media than they do interacting with parents or others — and considering the state of the media and entertainment landscape, this can be quite problematic.  “When you ask who’s really teaching our kids we want to say it’s us and then it’s the school system,” Gudorf said. “But the reality is: it’s the media world.”

Appeals Court Unanimously Rules Wisconsin School District Must Allow Girl in Boys’ Restroom
JUNE 1, 2017
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled that a Wisconsin school district must allow a girl who identifies as a boy to use the boys’ restroom, concluding that the prohibition would likely cause “irreparable harm.” “A transgender student’s presence in the restroom provides no more of a risk to other students’ privacy rights than the presence of an overly curious student of the same biological sex who decides to sneak glances at his or her classmates,”
Judge Ann Claire Williams, nominated to the bench by then-President Bill Clinton, wrote on behalf of the three-judge, all-female panel. “Further, if the school district’s concern is that a child will be in the bathroom with another child who does not look anatomically the same, then it would seem that separate bathrooms also would be appropriate for pre‐pubescent and post‐pubescent children who do not look alike anatomically,” she said. “But the school district has not drawn this line.”  READ MORE http://christiannews.net/2017/05/31/appeals-court-unanimously-rules-wisconsin-school-district-must-allow-girl-in-boys-restroom/

Judges Rule That Parents and School Officials Must Obey ‘Transgender’ Teenager
JUNE 1, 2017
The federal constitution requires that school officials submit to the demands of a teenage girl who wants to change her sex to become a boy, says a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.  The judges say that Kenosha Unified School District violated federal law and the Constitution because the teenager’s “gender identity” as a “transgender boy” is more important than the popular laws, civic customs and scientific consensus which recognize that
girls and boys, men and women, are biologically and socially different even as they are also complementary and legally equal. The court’s ruling in Whitaker v. Kenosha likely will be sent to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will likely decide in 2018 whether the new idea of “gender identity” will replace society’s distinctions between girls and boys, and between men and women.

Miles of Antarctic ice collapsing into the sea
JUNE 1, 2017
The acceleration is making some scientists fear that Antarctica’s ice sheet may have entered the early stages of an unstoppable disintegration. Because the collapse of vulnerable parts of the ice sheet could raise the sea level dramatically, the continued existence of the world’s great coastal cities — Miami, New York, Shanghai and many more — is tied to Antarctica’s fate.
Four New York Times journalists joined a Columbia University team in Antarctica late last year to fly across the world’s largest chunk of floating ice in an American military cargo plane loaded with the latest scientific gear. Inside the cargo hold, an engineer with a shock of white hair directed younger scientists as they threw switches. Gravity meters jumped to life. Radar pulses and laser beams fired toward the ice below.

Worst drought in over a century strikes Cape Town, South Africa
JUNE 1, 2017
Cape Town, South Africa’s seat of Parliament and the legislative capital, is enduring its worst drought in over a century and severe water crisis. This forced officials to impose strict Level 4 water restrictions, effective as of Thursday, June 1, 2017. While the measures will have short-term effects, some experts warn them alone will not solve the problem.
Cape Town is using 5 dams to collect its drinking water, and as of May 29 those dams, collectively, are at 19.7%. This is 0.8% down since last week. However, since the last 10% of that water is not usable, Cape Town’s 4 million residents have only 9.7% of usable water left, less than 60 days of normal consumption.

NJ Towns Socked with Big Fines for Refusing Mosques
JUNE 1, 2017
Federal law enforcement officials are investigating a New Jersey city that prevented a Muslim group from building a mosque.  The U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey confirmed that it is investigating after Bayonne rejected the mosque’s application. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has unveiled a $3.25 million settlement between a different New Jersey town and an Islamic group, a deal that requires the town to allow a mosque to be built after a similar zoning dispute.
The Muslims in Bayonne filed a federal lawsuit against the city and its zoning board last week. They argue their two-year effort to convert an abandoned warehouse into a mosque and community center was unfairly voted down by a zoning board and was met by virulent attacks against their religion.

Why Israel’s Quietest Border Could Face a ‘Massive Eruption’
JUNE 1, 2017
Near the end of the Six-Day War, attention shifted away from Jerusalem. About 120 miles away, Israeli troops took control of the Golan Heights. Over the last 50 years, that battle has proven to be one of the most strategic of the war.  “Whoever sits on the Golan Heights totally dominates this whole region,” said Middle East expert and author of Inside the Middle East Avi Melamed. That’s in part because of its proximity to the Sea of Galilee. The Golan Heights shares borders with Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, with Damascus just 40 miles away.
For decades Syria controlled the Golan Heights. Here on the high ground overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Syrian artillery and snipers shot and shelled the Israelis below. Children grew up running to bomb shelters and residents lived under the constant threat of attack. Overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Melamed explained why it’s so important to understand what happened in the Golan during the Six-Day War.

Comey prepares to spill his guts to Congress
JUNE 1, 2017
Fired FBI Director James Comey has been cleared to testify in Congress – and plans to corroborate accusations that President Trump pressured him to squelch an investigation of former national security advisor Mike Flynn, according to reports.  Special counsel Robert Mueller has cleared Comey to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, NBC
reported, citing a former law enforcement official who would not say whether Comey would be authorized to discuss his interactions with the president.  According to a CNN report, Comey is expected to back up press reports that Trump tried to pressure him into getting the FBI to back off an investigation of Flynn.

How Katy Perry’s Mother Praises God Through the Pain
JUNE 1, 2017
(Reported By J.Lee Grady) Mary Hudson is a minister’s wife, a gifted preacher, an author and a mentor to many Christian women. But she’s also the mother of one of the most famous entertainers in the world, pop singer Katy Perry. For that reason, many Christians turn a cold shoulder to Mary and her husband, Keith.  “I get a lot of negative vibes,” Mary told me this week during an interview in Hawaii, where she was hosting a women’s conference. “People ask us, ‘How could you have a daughter like that?'”
Mary certainly never expected things would turn out this way. When she was pregnant with Katy, an evangelist prayed over her and declared, “This child will do something great for God.” When Katy was 9 years old, a charismatic minister prophesied that she would stand before kings and presidents. Katy wrote worship songs as a young girl and began performing solos in church.

Planned Parenthood Reports 328,348 Abortions Performed by Organization in 2015
JUNE 1, 2017
Following a several month delay, Planned Parenthood has released its annual report, which reveals that the number of abortions performed by the organization are the highest since 2011 while the number of women using Planned Parenthood’s services, in general, continues to be the lowest in a decade.  The abortion and contraception giant releases the
report each year to tout its achievements, which include services largely centering around sexual activity. “Planned Parenthood has spent a century expanding and protecting access to sexual and reproductive health care and information so all people feel empowered to build the future they want,” the organization wrote in the introduction to its new report. “[W]e have much to be proud of in our first 100 years.”

We’re going to soon see some Army trucks driving themselves along a stretch of Michigan Highway.  That will be discussed on Mackinac Island this week during the Mackinac Policy Conference, a yearly event where movers and shakers meet to discuss pressing topics affecting the state.  WWJ Auto Beat Reporter Jeff Gilbert explains a year into a special connected
highway system on Highway 69, the Army is ready to move to the next level. For the past year, convoys have been moving down the connected stretch testing the technology. Paul Rogers, who heads up the Army’s research efforts, says phase one, which involves checking out the communications equipment, has gone well.

ON THE BRINK: Venezuela devalues currency in crisis dollar sale…
JUNE 1, 2017
Crisis-hit Venezuela devalued its currency by 64 percent in a dollar auction that aimed to stabilize its foreign exchange market, officials said Wednesday.  Under an overhauled official exchange system, the government let investors bid for the dollars at a new higher rate in what President Nicolas Maduro said was an effort to undermine the black market. It was the
latest in a series of moves to ease a crisis in a country stricken by soaring inflation and shortages of food and medicine. The US bills sold at a rate of 2,010 bolivars per dollar, said Pedro Maldonado, president of the central bank’s Currency Auction Committee. He told reporters the rate was “an unequivocal indication that we are beginning a process of economic recovery.” READ MORE https://www.yahoo.com/news/venezuela-pushes-constitution-bid-amid-deadly-unrest-170541766.html


More Americans continue ditching citizenship…
JUNE 1, 2017
Americans abroad have just about had it with Uncle Sam’s tax filing requirements.  Those were the findings from a recent survey of more than 2,100 U.S. expatriates, according to Greenback Expat Tax Services, which specializes in working with American taxpayers residing overseas.  Just over 4 in 10 respondents said that while they aren’t planning to renounce their U.S. citizenship, they wouldn’t rule it out, and 19 percent said they’re seriously considering it. Half of those who are either
planning or considering giving up their citizenship say the primary reason is the burden of U.S. tax rules. “Tax requirements like the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act(FATCA) and the report of foreign bank and financial accounts (FBAR) start to become more painful for people and they write to their congressperson, seeking action,” said David McKeegan, co-founder of Greenback Expat Tax Services and an American residing in Indonesia.

Mideast Christians in Danger of Extinction!
MAY 31, 2017
With Christians facing increased danger in the Middle East, a group known as the Knights of Columbus is launching a nationwide digital and television ad campaign to raise funds and awareness on their behalf.  “We must act and act quickly if Christianity is to survive in the Middle East,” warned Knights of Columbus CEO Carl Anderson. “Three years after ISIS
rolled through their country, these minority communities of Christians could face extinction without our help, and if they disappear, the chance for a pluralism and tolerance of minorities will be increasingly lost in that country.” The Knights will match up to $1 million in donations received by July 1, and 100 percent of the money raised will be used to aid Christian refugees in Iraq.

How God Saved Rock and Roll Legend Santana from 7 Suicide Attempts
MAY 31, 2017
Rock and Roll legend Carlos Santana has been through some truly dark moments in his life.   “You have to go through the darkest night of the soul to get to the brightest light of the day,” Santana said.  Despite his fame and accomplishments, he says he’s only made it through by trusting in God – and he’s not staying quiet about it.  Santana told the Gospel Herald that when his wife left him, he entered a deep depression.
He visited a local church, but said that he had voices in his head telling him that his life was filled with misery. He tried to kill himself seven times, but says that he was kept alive through God’s grace. Santana says Jesus’ voice not only gave him hope, but helped him overcome his depression. And the joy he received from Christ was something he never got out of music.

Berkeley ponders ordinance banning plastic straws
MAY 31, 2017
The next plastic piece of convenience on the chopping block are drinking straws, as the city of Berkeley decides whether to create an ordinance banning the environmentally unfriendly item. Drawn up by three City Council members, the city would seek to ban plastic drinking straws from its restaurants and coffee shops. On Tuesday, the council met to explore the idea of a ban, as KPIX reports.
“We do need to change our habits,” said the council’s Sophie Hahn, one of the three who penned the information report about the possible legislation. “The habits we have are destroying our planet.”  Hahn also suggested that the additional cost associated with alternative biodegradable straws (which cost up to eight times more than the 1-cent plastic straws) be passed onto the consumer.

Is Miley Cyrus Finally Letting God’s Truth Back Into Her Life?
MAY 31, 2017
ATTENTION: The views and opinions of this article do not reflect those of End Time Headlines. Nor does it mean we endorse or promote Miley Cyrus.
(Reported By Corrine Weaver) In her article published last week, “Miley Cyrus’s Creepy Return To Wholesomeness,” Petrusich analyzed Cyrus’s new song, “Malibu,” which is, in her opinion, “equal parts bohemian and smarmy.”  Petrusich did not approve of Cyrus’ new direction, mainly because she found that the superstar’s decisions in the past were those of a “creative risk-taker” which made her a “figure to root for.”  In an interview with Billboard, published the first week of May, Cyrus told the reporter
that part of her transformation came from her decision to steer clear of substance abuse. She said, “I’m not doing drugs, I’m not drinking, I’m completely clean right now! That was just something that I wanted to do.” She also explained that she was done with hip-hop for now, mainly because the sexually explicit lyrics typical of the genre were not an accurate representation of how she felt. However, Petrusich decided to interpret this decision in a different light.

Meet the man who was dead for 90 Minutes and Came Back!
MAY 31, 2017
A doctor was left stunned last year after a patient who plummeted down a staircase and “effectively died” for 90 minutes was “brought back from the dead” — and survived.  The fascinating scenario surrounds a Maryland man named T.J. Scanlon, 32, who fell down a flight of stairs last March after coming home after a night out with friends, CBS News reported.

The traumatic fall happened as he was searching for his keys, lost his balance and fell down a 20-foot staircase, laying in a pool of blood for two days before a co-worker and roommate finally found him barely alive.Scanlon was in bad shape. His legs were gray and black and his skin was blue when his friends discovered him. When he was rushed to the hospital, paramedics and doctors realized the gravity of the situation.

DISTRESS OF NATIONS: 60 Days, 62 Dead in Desperate Venezuelan Uprising
MAY 31, 2017
In the second month of almost daily protests against Venezuela’s socialist government, thousands of opposition supporters marched towards the center of the capital Caracas Tuesday, only to be tear-gassed.  Even opposition leader Henrique Capriles was gassed and had to be helped from the scene.  Venezuelan citizens have grown desperate amid shortages of basic necessities. One elderly woman who was tear gassed said, “I am sick, I have been searching for the medicine that I
can’t find, but the police are upset because people want to gather on a street corner to protest.” At least 62 people have been killed in the two-month-long confrontation and another 1,100 people have been injured. Thousands of young demonstrators, calling themselves “The Resistance” have been on the streets fighting for democracy, willing to do “whatever it takes” to win the fight against the dictatorship of President Nicolás Maduro.

Rabbi Claims Arch of Ba’al, With Shadowy Ties to New World Order, May Be Messiah’s End-of-Days Gateway
MAY 31, 2017
A pagan arch erected in Italy one month before the meeting of the world’s most powerful leaders in the same country may be the portal whose opening could usher in the age of the Messiah – or a sinister World Order, a prominent rabbi has claimed.  The rabbi believes that the two events – the unveiling last month of a replica of the Palmyra Arch, a symbol of
paganism and idol worship, and the recent G7 summit, representing the coming together of world powers – are deeply and troublingly connected. “This arch brings together all the necessary elements for the New World Order,” explained Rabbi Daniel Assur, a member of the nascent Sanhedrin, to Breaking Israel News. “If you look at where this arch has appeared, it is clearly a pattern moving towards a specific goal: Messiah. The question is, whose Messiah will it be?”

Cyclone “Mora” slams into Bangladesh: at least 6 killed, 20,000 homes damaged
MAY 31, 2017
Cyclone “Mora” has made landfall at 00:00 UTC (06:00 local time) on May 30, 2017, between the fishing port of Cox’s Bazar and the city of Chittagong, with winds of up to 117 km/h (73 mph). Authorities raised the highest number 10 weather danger alert for people in the coastal districts of Bangladesh as the storm approached and evacuated over 500,000 people.
Initial reports mention at least 6 casualties and tens of thousands damaged homes. Tropical Cyclone “Mora” (02B) formed in the Bay of Bengal on May 28, 2017, as the second named storm of the 2017 North Indian Ocean tropical cyclone season. Under the influence of the precursor low of Mora, it strengthened the arrival of monsoon which caused heavy disaster in Sri Lanka and Andaman islands with at least 180 fatalities.

DAYS OF LOT: Nudity Has Become the Normal!
MAY 31, 2017
(Reported By Laila Mickelwait)  Paris Jackson poses topless on Instragram. Emily Ratajkowski appears in Sports Illustrated wearing only body paint. The 1980s hit television show Twin Peaks is resurrected—this time with the addition of W-rated scenes. Then there is Playboy—the nudes are back!  What is going on with this public nudity craze? We have come a long way since Janet Jackson’s (Paris’s aunt) infamous Super Bowl halftime show wardrobe malfunction in 2004. When we look at our pop culture today, one thing becomes clear:
Hypersexualized objectifying nudity is everywhere. It has saturated television, movies, gaming, advertising, magazines, news and nearly every aspect of the internet. Has this pornified nudity become normal? A simple scrolling through the Instagram feeds of our favorite TV reality stars makes the point. We easily find a trove of photos that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. Kim Kardashian makes a habit of posting nudes. She recently disseminated to millions of fans a naked selfie with the caption “liberated.” Really Kim? Are you sure that is liberating?

The Prophetic Significance of This Year’s Pentecost Celebration
MAY 31, 2017
(By Rabbi Charles Ian Luge) Last night, Tuesday, May 30 at 7 p.m., we celebrated Shavuot (Pentecost). We counted the omer and anxiously waited for this moment. Each day brought us closer to the expectation of God’s promised revelation and renewal. We believed for echoes of the first Shavuot at Mount Sinai and the first Shavuot at the Temple in Jerusalem, ten days after Yeshua (Jesus) had ascended to heaven. Both events included heavenly fire, noise and extraordinary phenomena. At the original Shavuot, the people of Israel stood before the Lord at Sinai, and the Lord called them to be a holy nation before Him: “All the people answered together and said, “We will do everything that the Lord has spoken'” (Ex. 19:8).
The instructions to count seven complete weeks (fifty days) “from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf (tied bundle of grain) of the wave offering”, to the day after the seventh week, are found in Leviticus 23:15-16. The omer (sheaf) counting began as an agricultural commandment to wave the first fruits of the barley harvest. Symbolically, it points to Yeshua who is the first fruit of the dead through His resurrection. Spiritually, it is a time of “cheshbon” or spiritual accounting.

At least 80 killed & over 350 wounded in explosion in Afghan capital’s embassy district
MAY 31, 2017
At least 80 people have been killed and over 350 injured in a powerful car bomb blast that ripped through a diplomatic district in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, an Afghan health official has said, as cited by Reuters. However, the Afghan Interior Ministry said 64 people were killed, according to AFP. The death toll is likely to rise, local officials said. “They are still bringing bodies and wounded people to hospitals,” senior Health Ministry spokesman Ismael Kawoosi told AFP. Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has asked Kabul residents to donate blood, saying hospitals are in “dire need.”
The blast is believed to have come from a car bomb. Reuters reported that the powerful bomb was hidden inside a sewage tank on a truck. The precise target was not immediately clear, but many embassies and government buildings are located in the area. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, according to 1TV channel. In the past, the terrorist group launched several high-profile attacks targeting Afghan and foreign forces in various parts of the country.

Faceless fish discovered in deep waters off Australia…
MAY 31, 2017
Faceless fish and other weird and wonderful creatures, many of them new species, have been hauled up from the deep waters off Australia during a scientific voyage studying parts of the ocean never explored before.  The month-long journey off the country’s eastern seaboard has been surveying life lurking in a dark and cold abyss that plunges four kilometres (2.5 miles) below the surface, using nets, sonar and deep-sea cameras.
