Supreme Court approves Ohio's method of purging voter rolls ...6-13-18, Washington (AFP) - A sharply divided US Supreme Court approved the practice by the state of Ohio of purging infrequent voters from their registration lists — a move civil rights groups claim disproportionately affects minorities and the poor. The case, Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, focuses on Ohio's process for routinely clearing no-longer-eligible voters from its official lists. Every state does so, in order to ensure that would-be fraudulent voters cannot use the identities of people who have died or moved. SCOTUS approved Ohio's law. More here Frivolous Lawsuit!
The American Civil Liberties Union’s [ACLU] says Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is using illegal criteria to purge voters. Husted says 1.3 million duplicate voters were removed. 465,000 dead voters were removed too. He says there were some counties with more registered voters than eligible voters. More here
Not so fast ... What might vex voters more than the question of who gets what is the question of who gets stuck in which state. Draper is proposing grouping the state’s 58 counties in a configuration that is sure to cause some consternation. While Los Angeles and five other coastal counties north to Monterrey would remain in a state to be known as “California,” the other counties would be lumped into two states with brand new names: “Southern California” would be anchored by Orange and San Diego counties, which makes sense, but would also include a huge swath of the Central Valley, as well the eastern portion of the state all the way up through the not-so-southern Mono County. “Northern California” would include the uber-liberal Bay Area as well as the conservative northeastern counties that are looking to form their own state to escape from California’s Democratic clutches.
No matter how the vote turns out on Cal 3 in November, however, it will be up to Congress to decide if it wants to grant statehood to two more Californias. That would mean, among other things, adding four new U.S. senators. And why would a Republican-controlled Congress agree to that, especially since it is not at all certain that any one of the states could be counted on to vote GOP?

President Trump said, "No tariffs, no barriers, that's the way it should be and no subsidies. In other words, the U.S. pays tremendous tariffs on dairy, as an example, 270 per cent ... we don't want to pay anything, why should we pay anything? It's very unfair to our farmers. Our farmers, whether it's through a non-tariff trade barrier or whether it's through very high tariffs ... this is all over the world. You can't do that. It's going to stop, or we'll stop trading." Canada levies a tariff of 270 per cent on milk, 245 per cent on cheese and 298 per cent on butter in an effort to keep U.S. and other foreign dairy imports out. |
TRUTH AND FICTION
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth
". . . make known to the sons of men His mighty acts
and the glorious majesty of His kingdom."
Psalm 145:12
Billy Graham Archives:
"Some years ago I heard about a clergyman who had a friend who was an actor. The actor was drawing large crowds of people, and the clergyman was preaching to a few in the church. He said to his actor friend, “Why is it that you draw great crowds, and I have no audience at all? Your words are sheer fiction, and mine are unchangeable truth.”
The actor’s reply was quite simple. “I present my fiction as though it were truth; you present your truth as though it were fiction.”
I fear that so often we Christians give the idea that the truth is fiction by the way we live and by the lack of dedication to the teachings of our Lord."
Philippians 4:8
Dr Judy Mikovits Was Prosecuted For Telling the Truth About the Dangers of Vaccinations; she said:
“Twenty-five million Americans are infected with the viruses that came out of the lab… into the humans via contaminated blood and vaccines.”
She soon realized that these protein and viral contaminants were being introduced into the human population via contaminated vaccines.
In response to this discovery she was:
- fired from her job
- indicted, prosecuted, jailed
- ordered to retract her research and publicly claim she “made it all up”
The 1938 attempt to thwart Nazi Germany & Hitler through diplomacy failed. The agreement between England and Germany would be overshadowed and voided by the Nazi tanks rolling into Poland a year or so later; today it is mostly remembered as exhibit A in the case against Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who brokered the deal and has been cast by history as a notorious and unforgivable appeaser. |

The Sin of Sloth
We Must Be People of Industry & Diligence
This word, work (or to till), carries with it the connotation of industry and diligence. Mankind was not made to be idle, but to employ their talents and gifts faithfully and diligently. Work itself is not a result of the Fall of Adam & Eve when they were expelled from the Garden (Genesis 3:23). The curse of the fall has made man’s work more difficult (Genesis 3:17). The solution is not to long for a life of ease, but to put one’s hand to the plow, to refrain from laziness; to be diligent in one’s calling.
While all poverty is not due to negligence and laziness, much is. The Bible says, “If a man does not work, he will not eat.” (2 Thess. 3:10) How many in our society, who are able bodied, expect to eat when they are unwilling to work?
The consequences of such laziness affects not only the individual, but entire communities and nations. Diligence in work not only advances an individual, but a whole society. It frees people from ungodly and unhealthy dependence on others. Laziness enslaves people and brings them to the lowest point in society.
(Matt. 25:26–30)
If a sluggard claims to be a Christian, his laziness casts a shadow on the blessed name of the Lord Jesus Christ. His testimony to the culture brings ridicule on Christianity in general. But how contrary is the testimony of an industrious and diligent person. What glory can you bring to the name of Christ as you work with commitment and diligence under the scrutiny of unbelievers?
We must raise our children to know they have a responsibility to work; at the youngest age - they must pickup their toys and gradually advance to more difficult tasks expected of them. We must all live in such a way that our commitment to hard work will cause others to praise God in heaven. Likewise, teach your children to despise laziness and find satisfaction and joy in work, so that a generation may be raised to the glory and praise of God. More here from Dr. R. C. Sproul
Venezuela's Collapse Illustrates Results When Leftist Governments Confiscate Everything From Productive Citizens to Redistribute to the Unproductive in the Name of Equality
Reminds me of the 1957 book...
***
6-7-18, NaturalNews -- While Venezuela’s current plight may not be permanent, its ramifications are going to be felt into perpetuity. At the same time, “outside actors,” as one media outlet describes them, are already starting to intervene to restore some semblance of freedom to the South American country. Venezuelans who hope for an actual future will continue to leave their native country in droves, solidifying in their wake yet another case-in-point as to the utter detriment of embracing socialism. Oliver Stuenkel for America’s Quarterly said: “With an entire generation of Venezuelans decimated by lack of schooling, malnutrition and untreated diseases once thought of as a thing of the past and a sizeable [sic] number of recent refugees unlikely to return, recovery to anything resembling pre-crisis levels is likely to take more than a decade.” More here

Canada Budget allocates $600 million for G7 meeting
The next biggest spending is by Canada's foreign affairs department, with $100 million of Global Affairs Canada's budget dedicated to pulling off the G7 presidency and shepherding Trudeau's turn to play host.
6-8-18, Fox News -- President Trump on Friday called for Russia to be reinstated to the group of leading industrial nations meeting at the G-7 summit in Quebec; he said:
“It doesn’t matter what you call it. It used to be G-8, now Russia is out. Why are we having a meeting without Russia? I would recommend Russia should be a part of it. Russia should be in this meeting. Whether you like it or not and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run. G-7 threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in."
In 2014 Russia was ousted from the group of leading nations—France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and the U.S. [Obama] following its annexation of Crimea. More here
Pew Poll: Crimeans happy with "annexation" by Russia
5-12-14, The latest survey in Ukraine by the Pew Research Center, reveals 91% of Crimeans believe the recent referendum was free and fair and only 4% believe Ukraine is correct in not recognising the referendum results and are a true reflection of the will of the Crimean people. This Pew poll was based on face-to-face interviews between April 5-23, 2014 with 1,659 randomly selected adults across Ukraine and Russia and the results may come as a surprise to those who depend on Western corporate media for information about current affairs. The Crimean people are happy with Russia ... the G7 is wrong. More here

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect under Bill Clinton in 1994. Mexico, Canada & the US became the largest free market in the world. The combined economies of the three nations at that time measured $6 trillion and directly affected more than 365 million people. Small businesses were among those that were expected to benefit the most from the lowering of trade barriers since it would make doing business in Mexico and Canada less expensive and would reduce the red tape needed to import or export goods; hasn't worked out that way.

The Night is Far Spent
“Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of Light.”
6-6-18, * -- The Lord Jesus Christ’s clock and calendar is ever nearer to the midnight hour (Matthew 25:6). His born again believers are currently awaiting the rapture of the church! We can see every facet aligning in precise detail, just as God’s word foretold.
In the 1960’s, the nation of Turkey was a westernized modern nation. Things changed in 1973 the Sunni Muslims brought in strict Islamic Sharia law and with the formal election of the current President Tayyip Erdogan it's strictly enforced. He claims to be the grand Islamic leader; the caliph of a revived Ottoman Muslim empire. He wants to form a ten nation alliance of Islamic nations (2) that fulfills the prophecy as they intend to go up against the apple of God’s eye the Jewish nation of Israel [Zech 2:8; Ezekiel 38:1 – Ezekiel 39:7].
In the 1970’s, Iran [ancient Persia] was a ‘friend’ to Israel; then the Shia Muslim nation had a revolution becoming an oppressive cruel Israel hating nation of Sharia law. Currently she may be a nuclear power and disputes who should be the caliph (3). [This is a perfectly aligned setup for the prophesied battle between Iran and Turkey … “Ram vs Goat.” This will be the fulfillment of Daniel 8:19-21 where the Goat ... Turkey wins.] (1)
There are fulfillments as prophesied about the church:
- Churches would not endure sound doctrine, but would prefer to hear fables (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
- The characteristics of those living in the “perilous last days” would be deceived, deceive others having a form of Godliness and of extreme narcissism and not caring about the word of God (2 Tim. 3:1-5, 13)
- There would be many mockers (Jude 1:18, 2 Pet. 3:3-4)
- Many would be given over to a reprobate mind (Rom. 1:18-32).
- Birth pains would commence (the “beginning of sorrows” in Matthew 24:4-8) as a woman “in travail”
These same characteristics were seen during the times of Noah and Lot (Matthew 24:37-39). Sadly the scoffing, blaspheming, anti-God folks on their way to Hell just don’t believe; they suffer from delusion as they love their wickedness. (Romans 1:24; 2 Thess 2:10-12; 1 Cor. 1:18)
Yes, the night is far spent … we are near the end of this age and the rapture of the church near at hand; Jesus is at the door.
Maybe you've held back from sharing the Gospel with others because you think you don’t know how and don’t want to make a mistake. Dear one, just tell them about your own life; how you came to Christ and your faith. What can we do about those who refuse to believe? We can pray for them! (Isaiah 55:11; Acts 26:18; Ephesians 6:19; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 5:13-14)

Attacking Israel for $100, Defending it for $13
Iran supports and funds mayhem and terror on Israel's border ... Muslim terrorists paid $100 to burn tires and Israeli crops while Israeli soldiers are paid $13 to defend Israel
5-23-18, Newsmax -- Iran and its main proxy Hezbollah [in Lebanon] are actively supplying Hamas with weapons and talking on a near daily basis to coordinate terrorist operations against the Jewish state.
5-16-18, Greenfield* -- Islamic teorrist group Hamas Prime Minister Yahya Sinwar vowed, "We will tear down the border and we will tear out their hearts from their bodies." The Great Hamas March of Return came with instructions to, “bring a knife, dagger, or handgun, if you have one, and to leave them under your clothes and not use them or show them, except if you identify one of the soldiers or settlers.”
However, the only hearts his terror thugs tore out were already bleeding with sympathy for Islamic terrorists and bile for the Israelis they were there to kill with those knives, daggers and guns.
The Hamas mob chanted, “Allahu Akbar” and the genocidal racist threat of, “Khaybar Khaybar, ya yahud," a reference to the primal Islamic massacre of the Jews. While IDF soldiers held back the invaders, the jets of the IAF targeted the snake’s head striking Hamas compounds and outposts.
Hamas offered $100 to every rioter. During previous violent assaults back in April, the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group had been offering $200 to anyone shot by Israelis, $500 for severe injuries and $3,000 to the dead. $100 a day may not seem like a lot, but the Israeli teen soldiers they’re trying to kill who earn only $13 a day [that's alot].
The Hamas supporting thugs are depicted as helpless, starving victims who can barely lift the firebombs they’re throwing at Israelis [..snip] The media used contrasting photos of the [US] embassy opening [in Jerusalem] and the "Pallywood" fake photos of Muslim protesters crying for the cameras and pretending to limp on crutches to smear Israel and America.
And as usual they missed the real story.
While Israelis and Americans were building something, Muslim terrorists were destroying everything they could get their hands on. While Rabbis and Pastors blessed, Imams cursed. Hamas Sheikh Iyad Abu Funun had sworn on the Koran that, "We will not leave a single Jew on our Islamic land."
That is what this is about.
The dedication of the embassy is a leap of faith:
- Faith in building rather than destruction.
- Faith in life instead of death.
- Faith in the G-d who watches over Jerusalem,

Govt School Failures: Homeschooling surges as parents seek safer option for children
A 2017 U.S. Dept of Education report estimated 1.69 million homeschool students from ages 5-17 in spring 2016, using data from the Natl Household Education Surveys program, which mailed questionnaires to about 200,000 selected households. Those findings estimated there were 2.3 million homeschool students in spring 2016, using figures provided by the 15 states that track homeschoolers, as well as Maricopa County, Arizona. This shows a 25 percent increase between 2012-16. Louisiana asks homeschoolers to report their kids ... there were 30,134 homeschool students registered in January 2017, up from between 18,500 to 20,000 in 2011. More here
