After The Storms Are Over: America Can’t Afford To Rebuild
After The Storms Are Over: America Can’t Afford To Rebuild
“There’s no meat left on that bone. There isn’t even a bone left. There’s only a debt-ridden mirage of a bone. If you’re looking to define the country in bumper-sticker terms, that’s it. A debt-ridden mirage. Which can only wait until it’s relieved of its suffering. Irma may well do that…”
Pension Storm Coming: “This Will Become One Of The Most Heated Battles Of My Lifetime”
This issue is going to set neighbor against neighbor and retirees against taxpayers. It will become one of the most heated battles of my lifetime. It will make the Trump-Clinton campaigns look like a school kids’ tiddlywinks smackdown.
Suddenly, “De-Dollarization” Is A Thing
“For what seems like decades, other countries have been tiptoeing away from their dependence on the US dollar. These were challenges to the dollar’s dominance, but they weren’t mortal threats. What’s happening lately, however, is a lot more serious. “
Will There Be A Major Stock Market Crash Before The End Of 2017?
The experts have been warning us over and over again that stocks cannot keep going up like this indefinitely, and yet this market has seemed absolutely determined to defy the laws of economics.
The Cashless Society Cometh: European Nations Eliminating Cash
Did you know that 95 percent of all retail sales in Sweden are cashless? And did you know that the government of Denmark has a stated goal of "eradicating cash" by the year 2030?

Obama’s Russia Collusion Discovered
Barack Obama Foundation: The Next Clinton Foundation?
The Barack Obama Foundation appears to be following the path of the Clinton Foundation, utilizing a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity to structure a wide-ranging international criminal fraud, New York-based financial analyst Charles Ortel warned Infowars.com.
ALERT: Obama’s Russia Collusion Discovered
…Former Senator and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions is under fire over accusations that he lied to Congress about his communications with a Russian ambassador during the presidential campaign. However, it was recently uncovered that 30 different Democrats colluded with Russia during the Obama administration’s Iran Deal negotiations. Why hasn’t the media mentioned this inconsistency?
Nightmare: DACA Amnesty DREAM Act Will Cost $115 Billion Thanks to Obamacare
Taxpayers in the United States will face a steep bill if the Trump administration signs legislation to extend legal status to so-called “Dreamers,” the illegal aliens who arrived as children and are now protected under the Obama-holdover unlawful executive order known as DACA.
BREAKING: Immigration Official Comes Forward, Drops Truth Bomb about DACA According to a former immigration official, the Obama administration never acted to prevent widespread DACA abuse. Matt O’Brien, the former manager of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) investigation unit, recently told reporters that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is rife with fraud. As reported by Breitbart, O’Brien stated, “Based on what I had seen and what I discussed with my colleagues, the fraud rate is 40 to 50 percent. It’s possible that it was higher.”

WATCH: Lou Dobbs Exposes Obama’s Treason On National Television
…Dobbs has found himself talking more and more about the way Obama and his merry men will do anything to disrupt President Trump. He really brought the point home on his show when he said, “Barack Obama, who many claim will be creating a shadow government to frustrate the policy goals of this administration, we’re looking at something that’s coming very close to, it seems to me, sedition.”

WATCH: CIA Agent Breaks Silence and Blows the Whistle to Reveal Obama’s Real
…Donald Trump’s presidency so far has shone a light on the White House’s war with the deep state. One former member of the intelligence community has spilled the beans about the Obama administration’s cooperation with the deep state. Former CIA analyst, and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, Tony Shaffer, told Fox News back in February that the Obama administration was behind the public leaks of Lt. General Mike Flynn’s phone calls with Russian officials.

Duke recruits men for program to fight ‘toxic’ masculinity
Duke University is recruiting male students for a nine-week program that pledges to “destabilize masculine privilege” and “interrogate masculinity.” The program, known as the Duke University Men’s Project, seeks to help men examine how their masculinities exist “often in toxic ways” while beginning “the work of unlearning violence.”

While Christianity dies in Germany, Islam springs up in its place
All across Germany, churches now sit mostly empty on Sunday mornings, and it’s a problem for Catholics and Protestants alike. While Christianity is dying in Germany, Islam is on the rise. Historian Walter Laqueur wrote that Germany had about 700 “little mosques and prayer rooms” in the 1980s but “more than 2,500 at the present time” – and that was in 2009.

Changing a flower’s color with the CRISPR gene-editing toolIt often takes years of careful cross-breeding for horticulturalists to turn flowers certain colors, but scientists can dig right in and change them at a genetic level much faster. Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, scientists have changed the flowers of the Japanese morning glory from its usual violet color to a pure white, by disrupting a single gene.
Can AI detect homosexuality from a facial image? And should it?A study published late last week from two Stanford researchers has caused shockwaves around the world.

Canada now investigates ‘climate denial’
Canada now investigates ‘climate denial’
It’s like something out of George Orwell’s 1984. Canada’s Competition Bureau, an arm’s length agency funded by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to the tune of almost $50 million annually, investigated three organizations accused of denying mainstream climate science for over a year, following a complaint from an environmental group.
Calls To Imprison “Climate Change Deniers” Grow In The Wake Of Hurricane Irma
“In the wake of Harvey, it’s time to treat science denial as gross negligence — and hold those who do the denying accountable. Climate denialism is literally killing us. Murder is murder…we should punish it as such.”

Hillary funds 800K to ANTIFA terrorist organization
EXPOSED: Hillary Clinton Moved 800K From Her Campaign To Help Fund ANTIFA
Hillary, who long during the campaign trail condemned “dark-money” Super-PACs, has funneled over 800K from her Campaign over to one of these very same outfits. It has been revealed that the failed presidential candidate’s Super-PAC, “Onward Together”, is heavily backing “resistance” and Alt-Left extremist groups such as ANTIFA.
Antifa activists say violence is necessary
Anti-fascist activists, or “antifa,” increasingly mobilized in the wake of President Trump’s election, are unapologetic about what they describe as the necessary use of violence to combat authoritarianism. While…activists within it emphasize that not everyone who participates in anti-fascist activism engages in violence, they say the use of force is intrinsic to their political philosophy

BOMBSHELL: Government contractors admit that Hillary’s State Department forced them to keep quiet about Benghazi security lapses that led to death of Ambassador
EXCLUSIVE: Security at the State Department’s Benghazi compound was so dire that another contractor was brought in to clean up the mess just two weeks before the 2012 terror attack – and was later pressured to keep quiet by a government bureaucrat under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to two men from the American security company.
Amazon deletes one-star reviews of Hillary Clinton’s new book
Amazon has been monitoring and deleting reviews after Hillary Clinton’s new book was greeted with a torrent of criticism on the day it was released. What Happened, which covers the former Secretary of State’s unsuccessful election campaign against Donald Trump, was published on Tuesday. Clinton and her publisher Simon & Schuster claimed the book would offer a candid account of her failure and her own reflection on it.

Farmer Banned From Selling Food Due To Christian Beliefs
Farmer Banned From Selling Food Due To Christian Beliefs
A federal judge has ordered a Michigan city to allow a nearby farmer to participate in its farmers market after concluding officials there likely illegally discriminated against him because of his faith.
College Bias Response Teams Prepare For New Year Of Enforcement
A new school year has started and with it the struggle has begun anew to protect the delicate minds of college students from any comments, images or insinuations that may offend their sensibilities, trigger their emotions or conflict with their sincerely held beliefs.
Christians Discovering Biblical Beliefs Could Cost Them Their Jobs
It should come as no surprise that Christians will encounter opposition to their Biblical beliefs in the workplace. What might surprise them is that expressing those beliefs both at work and at home (such as social media) could cost them their job.

Eugene Peterson
Eugene Peterson author of "The Message" responses in interview
I wouldn’t have said this 20 years ago, but now I know a lot of people who are gay and lesbian and they seem to have as good a spiritual life as I do. I think that kind of debate about lesbians and gays might be over. People who disapprove of it, they’ll probably just go to another church. So we’re in a transition and I think it’s a transition for the best, for the good. I don’t think it’s something that you can parade, but it’s not a right or wrong thing as far as I’m concerned.
Question: If you were pastoring today and a gay couple in your church who were Christians of good faith asked you to perform their same-sex wedding ceremony, is that something you would do?
Answer: Yes.
Pastor for 29 years over a Presbyterian Church USA (which formally approves of sodomite “marriage” in their church constitution).
He has also authored several emergent church books including:
- Traveling Light: Modern Meditations on St. Paul’s Letter of Freedom (Helmers & Howard Publishing, 1988)
- Wisdom of Each Other: A Conversation Between Spiritual Friends (Zondervan, 2001)
- The Contemplative Pastor: Returning to the Art of Spiritual Direction (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1980)
Peterson is most famously known as the author of “The Message”
The Message flat out omits the sin of sodomy from several key passages including 1 Cor 6:9-11, and also in 1 Tim 1: 8-11.
Who is the "god of green hope" in Rom 15:13? While omitting abominable acts the Lord has condemned as immoral, it invents a new morality as crimes against the environment such as "those who ... use and abuse the earth ..." in 1 Cor 6:10-11.
Who is the "god of green hope" in Rom 15:13? While omitting abominable acts the Lord has condemned as immoral, it invents a new morality as crimes against the environment such as "those who ... use and abuse the earth ..." in 1 Cor 6:10-11.
The Message eliminates 7899 usages of "Lord" and omits all 118 usages of the “LORD JESUS CHRIST”, replacing that and other titles for Jesus with “Master”(400 times) or “Master Jesus” (76 times).
The term “Master Jesus” is a uniquely NEW AGE term that is found in the “The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
The Message also uses other NEW AGE terms such as “The ONE” (102 times), “Oneness”, the “Presence” (34 times), “Energy” (40 times).
Also replaces
Mt 6:9 (KJB) - Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven
With the blatantly occult phrase
Mt 6:9 (Msg) - Do what’s best - as above, so below

Transactivism Invades The School System
We should not teach our children to affirm mental or psychological disorders, and there is no verifiable scientific evidence that the boy in question is a girl. Why, then, should these parents teach their son to affirm that which is not true or real?
Let's not forget that the vast majority of children who identify as transgender no longer do so after puberty. And there are psychologists who believe that we do these children a disservice by affirming their transgender identity.
Consider this recent case which is getting widespread attention.
As reported in the Daily Wire, "With guidance from medical professionals and his own mother, a 12-year-old Australian boy suffering from gender confusion began to transition into a 'female.' Just two years later, the young man told his mom he felt like his born sex again, and is now in the painful process of transitioning back, which includes surgery."
Some would argue that the doctors who helped this young boy "transition" to female were guilty of medical malpractice, if not outright child abuse, however well-intentioned they might have been.
Yet in today's upside-down world, the schools (and all students) would be expected to embrace this boy as a boy, then as a girl, then as a boy again - based entirely on how he felt and identified at any given moment. And woe be to the teacher or parent or student who protests. One dare not be branded a transphobe.
Lest you think I'm exaggerating, remember that just last month, "A first grader at a California charter school was sent to the principal's office this week after she accidentally 'misgendered' a classmate in what's being called a 'pronoun mishap.'"
A first grader!
We're talking about six-year-olds again - precious, little, impressionable, innocent children - who are being punished for their failure to embrace transactivism.
This must stop, and it must stop now, which means that parents, educators, and legislators must act to protect these little ones, regardless of professional cost or consequence. Do we really have a choice?
And remember: Kids in nursery school and up are being indoctrinated with the standard LGBT talking points. Why should we surprised when they grow up so confused?
If enough people of conscience speak up and act up, change will come. And rather than simply affirm the struggles of these equally precious, gender confused children, let's redouble our efforts to get to the root of their struggles, helping them find wholeness from the inside out.
And just how far will this radical LGBT activism go if we don't stand up to it? How about drag queens reading to our two-year-olds in libraries? Should we applaud this too?
Or how about a scantily clad drag queen dancing in front of school children at a gay pride event in Canada? Perhaps we should celebrate this too?

Two-thirds of Americans approve of editing human DNA to treat disease
The advent of powerful gene editing tools like CRISPR is making editing human DNA incredibly easy and precise. The technology holds the potential to rid humanity of diseases like sickle cell anemia. Earlier this month, researchers in the US successfully edited dozens of human embryos and corrected a gene mutation that causes a serious heart condition.

FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks
Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO
Putin: Leader in artificial intelligence will rule world
