Candace Owens Fumes as California Democrat Rep Ted Lieu Dishonestly Presents Clip of Interview

4-10-19, The US Congress' Judiciary Comm hearing on hate crimes and white nationalism had the Director of Communications for 'TURNING POINT USA" conservative black American, Candace Owens testify. A clip of a confrontation between Candace and California Dem Rep. Ted Lieu after he dishonestly shows a snippet of a video purporting her hate-crimes without the entire context and question that Ms Owens was answering. She begins her comments by introducing her 75 yr old grand father who was a share cropper; and that he holds no animus against white people. She exposed facts of history that the Dems were involved in the Ku Klux Klan, that currently black kids in states run by Democrats can't read and more black babies are aborted than others and it's supported by Democrats not Republicans.

Owens criticized Democrats for always bring out the mantra of white supremacy instilling fear in the black community ahead of important elections. She pointed out that the real problems in black communities in America rest in the education system, the singe motherhood rate and the rates of abortion.“The hearing today is not about white nationalism or hate crimes. It’s about fear mongering, power and control.”  In less than 24 hours, this video became the most watched C-SPAN Twitter video ... More here

4-19-19, In the “Land of Happy Cows,” ie the western part of southern Bavaria; in spring, the meadows are a solid yellow with flowering dandelion plants. They are so abundant that the butter and cheese produced from the cows grazing in those fields develop a decidedly yellow color, caused by the chemical known as “beta-carotene.” It’s related to the orange color-producing substance in carrots, hence its name.

When the dandelions at last are blooming again, the cows are really happy. They take to the solidly dandelion-yellow meadows in force and produce plenty of milk that is the source of the then (once again) yellow butter. [..snip]

All the dandelions (Taraxanum sp.) in your or the neighbors’ front yards could soon become a source of a “rubbery” income, see a  German research report: “Highlights der Angewandten Pflanzenforschung.” This research project is heavily funded by the federal government, called: “A weed turns into a raw material source: Dandelions produce rubber.” In fact, the article describes the research and attempts to grow super-duper dandelions, hoped to be two-to-three feet tall, etc. [..]
​
I wonder if the alpine meadows or your own or other community’s lawns and veggie fields could be turned into novel “rubber plantations.” If you really think that’s the way to become a robber rubber baron,” go right ahead but, please, keep them dandy seeds from blowing over to our place. We really don’t need a dandelion windfall.

 Luke 4:18–19
  
4-19-19, * -- This year the Jewish Feast of 'Passover' begins evening of Friday, April 19, 2019 ending evening of Saturday, April 27, 2019. According to Jewish belief, the Messiah will come after a time of war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16–17). There are several things that the Messiah must accomplish: He will bring about spiritual and political redemption of the Jewish people and bring the Jews home to Israel restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:10–12; Jeremiah 23:8, 30:3; Hosea 3:4–5). In Jewish tradition it is believed that in the first two days of Passover the past redemption from Egypt is commemorated. And in the last two days of Passover, the complete and ultimate redemption through the coming of Messiah is proclaimed. [Note: Most of the Jewish people do not believe Jesus Christ was their long awaited Messiah - so they are still waiting. The Hebrew term Mashiach Jesus Christ [Yeshua] will be the one anointed as King of Kings in the end of days. Jesus is our 'Passover' Lamb 1 Corinthians 5:7-8]

In the New Testament it is reported that when Yeshua [Jesus] met the Samaritan woman at the well, He told her that He was the Messiah.  He declared, “I, the one speaking to you — I am He.” (John 4:25–26) Yeshua also publicly proclaimed His Messianic mission in the synagogue – to everyone’s amazement this young son of a simple carpenter - spoke of the Isaiah 61:1-2 Messianic prophecy then said: “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”  (Luke 4:21)

There are at least 333 Messianic prophecies in the Jewish Scriptures that describe the real Messiah. Jesus Christ’s entire ancestry, birth, character, teaching, ministry, life, death, burial, and resurrection were prophesied by 25 Jewish writers hundreds of years before His birth as follows: 

• He will be born in Bethlehem (Beit-Lechem) (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1)

• He will be born to a virgin and will be called God With Us (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23)

• He will be despised and rejected by his own people (Isaiah 53:3; John 1:11, 5:43)

• He will suffer terribly (Isaiah 53:3; Matthew 26:38)

• He will be pierced and wounded for our sins (Isaiah 53:5; Psalm 22:16; Luke 23:33)

• He will take upon himself the punishment that we all deserve (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24)

• He will not open his mouth in his own defense (Isaiah 53:7; Matthew 27:12–14)

• He will die a violent, premature death (Isaiah 53:8,12; Luke 23:46)

• He will die with the wicked but be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:9; Matthew 27:57–60)

• He will be raised from the dead to life (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:29–32; Matthew 28:5–6)

• He will sit on the throne of His father, David, and rule forever (Isaiah 9:6–7; Luke 1:30–33)

Isaiah 3:12

4-18-19, Dennis Prager -- I have decided to finally read what is widely regarded as the beginning of the modern feminist movement, Betty Friedan's 1963 book: "The Feminine Mystique." I am halfway through and I find it, historically speaking, much lamenting the status of women. Though I have none of the contempt Friedan has for "housewifery," [homemaker, wife, mom, Proverbs 31:31] her description of women who felt they had no sense of "self" because they were only someone's wife and some children's mother is emotionally compelling. [..snip]

In January 2017, reportedly 3 million American women took part in the Women's March. [There Madonna, Ashley Judd and others proclaimed how 'nasty' they are and want more of it. -- Ed. ] [..]

If women are as likely — perhaps more likely — to complain [Isaiah 3:12] about being oppressed today when they aren't oppressed as they did when they were oppressed, and if women today are nearly twice as likely as men to be depressed, and if women at elite colleges — where they are pampered and more assured a financially successful future than most men living now or who lived in the past — are particularly angry and malcontented, simple logic suggests two choices:

​Either women remain as oppressed as in the past, or women tend to be malcontents. [..]

Though life in America is a blessing for the vast majority of its citizens, the left constantly complains about America. Indeed, the better America gets, the louder the left's complaints about America — about its racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, bigotry, xenophobia, inequality, systemic bias, etc. The right, on the other hand, regards life's difficulties as inherent to life, not inherent to America's flaws, and doesn't much complain. Like men, conservatives complain less than liberals. And just as male and female feminists demand that American men complain more — that their lack of complaining is a form of "toxic masculinity" [Proverbs 21:9] — the American left demands that Americans complain more.

All these women's marches and angry women at colleges probably tell us more about women's nature than about American sexism. -- Excerpted and adapted full report here

More and more modern women have realized the error in following the Betty Friedan hysteria of leaving home and hearth to struggle to be like a man. God has designed the two sexes for their specific tasks. Women are the weaker and the nurturer, man is the strong 'bread winner' - science, biology and God says so: 1 Peter 3:7

​
12-20-17, * -- In scripture [1] we see two occasions when God told someone not to pray, for He would not hear their prayer.

1. Moses, for though he’d been faithful to God most of his life, he was told by the Lord he’d not enter the Promised Land because of his disobedience. (Num. 20:8-12). Moses pleaded with the Lord, (Deut. 3:25-26) but God’s decision was final. He explained to Moses why He would not hear his prayer, saying, “because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel” (Deut. 32:51).
2. God told Jeremiah not to pray for his fellow Israelites. Three times God told Jeremiah, “do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you” (Jer. 7:16, 11:14; 14:11). God decided to judge and punish His people (Jer. 7:20) because they’d repeatedly broken their covenant with Him by disobeying His commands and pursuing other gods (Ex. 20:2-4; cf. Ezek. 20:4-24). Repeatedly the people disobeyed God’s commands and would not change their behavior (Jer. 7:21-26; 11:1-13, 19:4-5; Ezek. 16:20-21, 25:3).

There are no examples in the New Testament of God telling anyone not to pray. It does report, however that God disciplines His disobedient people (Heb. 12:6; Rev. 3:19; 1 Cor. 11:32), even to the point of death (Acts 5:1-11; 1 Cor. 11:27-30, 1 John 5:16-17).

​We are commanded to be “devoted to prayer” (Rom. 12:12; cf. Col. 4:2). The born again believer in Christ Jesus is to look to God always for wisdom and strength to do His will, lifting others before His throne of grace, requesting He will intervene as we ask, for His glory and their benefit.

4-15-19, * -- The liberal Russian military expert Aleksandr Golts commented that the rising tensions between Russia and NATO could transform the Black Sea into a battlefield. He said: [1]
 "Russia as a source of military threat was the main subject of the NATO Foreign Ministers [70th] 'anniversary' meeting in Washington April 3-4, 2019. Despite numerous internal conflicts that were also discussed at the summit (one of them is US Pres Trump's insistent demand to reduce U.S. expenditures on European security), there is one immutable factor that ensures NATO unity. It is the opposition to what NATO members consider 'the threat from the East.' […]

"Alexander Grushko said that Russia is currently conducting the planned upgrade of its Black Sea Fleet and is therefore prepared for 'any possible turns in the sphere of military security'. 'Our position is clear: any reinforced NATO presence in the Black Sea region is pointless from a military perspective,' the diplomat stated. 'It will not strengthen security in the region nor that of NATO itself, it will only involve additional military risks.'
​
"General Vladimir Shamanov, head of the State Duma Defense Committee, quite frankly promised NATO a shellacking. […]

Vice President Mike Pence stated at the Washington meeting of NATO foreign ministers, Turkey was subjected to extremely harsh criticism due to its intention to buy the Russian S-400 air defense system. 'Turkey's purchase of a $2.5 billion Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system poses great danger to NATO and the strength of this alliance.' Ankara does not intend to yield to pressure. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu called the purchase of the S-400 a 'done deal'. [...]

Since 2014, NATO warships have been regularly displaying the flag near Crimea. And now they will be most likely based there almost permanently. The capture of Ukrainian ships in November 2018 was not a pre-planned operation. The Russian coast guard and their commanders obviously lost their nerve. And no one can guarantee that this will not happen again."

 'The whole subject of the new NATO 'deterrence' measures package in the Black Sea, as well as Moscow's readiness to immediately interpret the vague threats from Brussels as a scenario for direct military confrontation, once again confirm that the parties have entered a new cold war.'

4-16-19, * -- The symbolism of the burning of the Roman Catholic Notre Dame Cathedral, the most renowned building in Western civilization, the iconic symbol of Western Christendom, is hard to miss. It’s as if God Himself wanted to warn us in the most unmistakable way that Western Christianity is burning -- and with it, Western civilization.

Every major Western (and one major non-Western) social and intellectual force has conspired to rid Europe of Christianity and the civilization it produced.
Within the Western world, the French Enlightenment -- the intellectual basis of the French Revolution and the modern West -- sought to replace Christianity, and religion in general, with secularism rooted in reason. No God, Bible or Ten Commandments is necessary for morality or meaning: reason (and science) will replace them.

Two deathblows to Christianity in Europe were the world wars

1. World War I ended most Westerners' belief in the nation-state and the West. Christianity, already weakened by the Enlightenment, was further weakened by World War I. German Christians were killing millions of French and English Christians, and French and English Christians were killing millions of German Christians. So the argument and sentiment against Christianity went.
2. World War II saw even more death on the Christian continent as well as the failure of Catholic and Protestant churches in Nazi Germany to offer even minimal noncompliance with the Nazis' Jew-hatred. With the end of World War II, every internal Western intellectual doctrine was secular. God, the Bible and religion were regarded at best as innocuous nonsense and at worst as noxious nonsense.

Meanwhile, Europeans brought a non-European ideology into Europe, an ideology that, for more than a thousand years, sought to replace Christianity as the world's dominant religion. The Europeans, believing in nothing distinctly Christian or Western and believing in the moral and intellectual nonsense known as "multiculturalism."  This is a doctrine asserting that all cultures are morally equivalent -- saw nothing problematic in bringing millions of Muslims into Europe. They had no idea that most of these people actually want to replace Christianity with their religion! They had no idea because, in their ignorance and arrogance, they assumed that because they were secular multiculturalists, everybody else was, too -- or would be, once they lived in Europe.

​Rep. Martha Roby: Pro-life movement momentum is strong ...
4-10-19, There is a battle in Congress regarding the HHS FY19 funding bill that includes language prohibiting taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, and the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which bans Labor-HHS funding from being used on research that harms human embryos. The bill includes language that prohibits funding for fetal tissue research obtained from abortion.

This measure might sound familiar because it is a direct response to the 2015 scandal that revealed how Planned Parenthood [PP] systematically was [is?] altering abortion procedures to preserve babies’ organs to sell them for profit. The bill includes language to prohibit abortion providers like PP from receiving any funding, including through Title X family grants.

4-15-19, (Natural News) --  Welcome to Nazi America, where the vaccine police want to see your “papers” in New York to be sure you’ve been injected with cells from someone’s abortion and also some key central nervous system disruptors.

Wait, no papers? Then you’re banned from leaving your house to go to public places, including the grocery store, gas station, or for medicine (this law can be enforced right now).

Want some genetically-modified bacteria that you can spread with the measles next week? Try getting the MMR vaccine.

Don’t think so, check the CDC vaccine web pages. The toxic injections also include GMOs, hydrolyzed casein (got milk allergies?), aluminum, polysorbate 80 and more.

 WHAT will the newly vaccinated children shed to the other immune-compromised “vaxxed” children?

The measles and other mixed genetically-mutated viruses

So what’s in the MMR-II vaccine?
Why does the Leftist government want your children injected by force with known neurotoxins all while demanding gun confiscation? What could be that end goal? The MMR-II contains:

1. chick embryo cell cultures
2. genetically modified abortion cells (their fancy name is WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts),
3. cow’s blood (bovine serum),
4. recombinant human albumin (that’s GMO human blood/cells),
5. sorbitol (synthetic smoothing agent)
6. some neomycin (that’s an antibiotic) - Side effects of injecting neomycin include decreased urination, hearing problems, spinning sensation, nausea, feeling like you might pass out, loss of coordination, trouble walking.

The MMRV ProQuad contains:

1. the chicken pox vaccine neurotoxins
2. monosodium glutamate. Got migraines? Get ready for the worst ones you’ll ever have when it gets injected]
3. urea [animal urine] 
4. recombinant human albumin, that’s the blood cells from a human aborted babies

Shedding vaccine viruses and bacteria is common during 1st two weeks after receiving any live-virus injection

It is a scientific fact that any person injected with a live virus, even if it’s weakened or “inactive” due to formaldehyde, can shed that virus (by coughing, sneezing, or even sharing a drink) through their saliva or mucus, to any person, whether they are inoculated or not. Even when the vaccinated “shedder” does not contract the disease (or those particular strains of a virus) themselves. Source

​European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On and Torched Happens Daily
4-14-19, Gatestone --  In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or "migrant") identity of the destroyers is leaked, the perpetrators are then presented as suffering from mental health issues. ​In Germany, four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March 2019 alone:

• Vandals plundered Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nîmes and used human excrement to draw a cross there; consecrated bread was found thrown outside among garbage.
• The Saint-Nicolas Church in Houilles was vandalized on three separate occasions in February; a 19th century statue of the Virgin Mary, regarded as "irreparable," was "completely pulverized," said a clergyman; and a hanging cross was thrown to the floor.
• Vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned.
• Arsonists torched the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris soon after midday mass on Sunday, March 17.

Similar reports are coming out of Germany. Four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March alone. "In this country," PI-News explained, "there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches... and recently also on cemeteries."

As a typical example, in 2014, a Muslim man committed "major acts of vandalism" inside a historic Catholic church in Thonon-les-Bains. As the recent PI-News report says:

"Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators.... Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants... It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism." More here

Ecclesiastes 2:26, Proverbs 3:15; 1 Corinthians 1:24; James 1:5

4-15-19, King Solomon was the third king of Israel. Known for his incredible wealth and power, Solomon reigned for 40 years during one of the most prosperous times in Israel’s history. “The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones” (2 Chron. 1:15). Solomon was known for his extravagant lifestyle, taking 700 wives and 300 concubines. He is credited for the building of a lavish palace and the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. Perhaps most of all - Solomon was renowned for his wisdom, which was a gift (at his request) from God.

Solomon penned the dismal reflections in the book of Ecclesiastes in his old age.

 “I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me.” (Eccl 2:17)

Ecclesiastes repeats the theme that life “under the sun” is vanity. By acquiring everything commonly desired by humanity, the writer learned that bounty does not equal happiness. Both the rich and the poor meet a common end. No amount of wealth or possessions guarantees happiness. Even accomplishments, of which he had many, did not produce joy (Eccl 2:19).

Notice how many times the word meaningless is used; again and again, the king reaches the same conclusion. The one who is wise, seeing life through a godly lens, can view the end result of earthly labor; it will not produce eternal results. The key verse and the hope is found in verse Eccl 2:25. Without God, “who can eat or find enjoyment?”

God is key to life’s purpose. It is not enough to work hard, to chase pleasure, or even to achieve greatness. Rather, a life spent pointed toward God will bring wisdom and happiness (Eccl 2:1-11, 26). Source

4-9-19, Ben Kesslen and Felix Gussone, MD and Illinois health officials announced Monday, 4/8/19 that since 2016 they have seen 154 cases of a fast moving, often life-threatening fungus spread.

Illinois is the state with the second-highest occurrence of Candida auris, an emerging multi drug-resistant yeast that can cause infection and, in many cases, death. New York has had 309 reported cases of the fungus and New Jersey 104. 

Dr. Tom Chiller, chief of mycotic diseases branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said: “It [Candida auris] acquires resistance fast, and then it remains resistant. It has the ability to develop pan resistance.”  Chiller said he isn’t concerned for the general public, but that “it’s important for all of our hospitals to remain vigilant.”

Candida auris is difficult to eradicate once it’s in a hospital or clinic, as it can spread even to the ceilings in examination rooms and on equipment. ​More here from NBC.com

Political Correctness Madness: Italian Cemetery Covers Crosses to Avoid Offending Muslims
4-11-19, Despite the long-standing prevalence of Christian Catholicism in Italy, apparently their culture may be succumbing to anti-Christian political correctness as they are covering crosses on graves to avoid offending Muslims. The cemetery located in Pieve di Cento, Italy is located in an area that has a small but growing Muslim population, though nine out of 10 residents continue to call themselves Catholics; why, then, does an entire population have to be offended to appease a small minority of Muslim people?

​Ms Giorgia Meloni, Brothers of Italy leader said: “With the excuse of respect for others, they lack respect for our Catholic culture and our traditions. Now the Left is beyond fanaticism. This is ideological delirium.”

The cemetary’s new policy is sure to prompt outcry from Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who introduced a bill in 2018 to require all public buildings to display a crucifix. Salvini’s bill reads: “The removal of the religious symbols that characterize our community means challenging the principles on which our identity is based. Respecting minorities does not mean renouncing the symbols of our history, culture and tradition.” More here

He is cited for an ability to communicate with “the LORD” and had a reputation for accurate prophecy (Numbers 22:6-8). As the new nation of Israel traveled northward into the Sinai Peninsula, Balak the king of Moab became worried that Israel would subjugate his nation and recruited Balaam to curse them.
 
Balaam “loved the wages of unrighteousness” (2 Peter 2:15), but was astute enough to know that he could not talk God into doing anything God did not want to do! However, even though Balaam was aware of the dangers of getting involved on the wrong side of God’s work, he wormed and squirmed through several interchanges with God until he was finally allowed to go do what Balak asked. “God’s anger was kindled” at the stubbornness of this man, and the famous interchange with the donkey took place (Numbers 22:22-31).
 
Balaam “ran greedily” after the reward that he had been promised by King Balak in Moab. Balaam knew enough about the correct sacrifices to build the right kind of altars and sacrifice the right kind of animals, then proceeded to seek God’s “word” for Israel. Three times God “put a word” in Balaam’s mouth to bless Israel, and three times Balak insisted that he try again to curse them. [Numbers 23:18-24] Balaam did not understand what is written in Deuteronomy 10:12-14 in the covenant relationship we have with God, we are the junior partners. Our job is to submit, to obey, to fear and respect Him, and if we do that, everything will work out fine.

However, when we try to take God's prerogatives from Him and do things that only He can do, then we start getting into deep trouble. This is where Balaam was—in very dangerous territory. He was trying to negotiate with God as if he were His equal. 
 
Instead of repenting of his foolishness, Balaam bragged about his ability to know what God wanted: "God said, I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication." Revelation 2:14

Also, his confession for hitting the donkey was quite insipid as he admitted that he did wrong, but all he does is to confess that he had sinned, justifying himself with, "I didn't see you I'm just a poor, ignorant person." Numbers 22:34

In our modern world unfortunately there are many "church" leaders who behave like Balaam who prostitute the gifts of God for their own profit. They will come under a “greater condemnation” (James 3:1).

[*] Who is Core aka Korah? He resisted the civil authority of Moses. For refusing to appear before him as commanded, Korah and his companions Dathan and Abiram with their households and houses were swallowed up by the earth Numbers 16:1. Then there came the further revolt of Korah against Moses and Aaron, in the interests of the people at large as against the tribe of Levi. The rebels were consumed by fire from the Lord Numbers 17:1. There followed the opposition of Korah and 250 Levites against the monopoly of the priesthood claimed by Aaron. The “gainsaying,” meaning against the Word, was Korah’s denial of the authority of Moses as God’s chosen spokesman, and intrusion into the priest’s office Jude 1:11.
