Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in what witnesses described as an aggressive encounter outside the House chamber on Wednesday afternoon during which she accused the Democrat of supporting terrorists.
It prompted a complaint by Ocasio-Cortez’s to authorities to ensure Congress remained ‘a safe, civil place for all members and staff.’
The episode erupted on Wednesday afternoon after Ocasio-Cortez had criticized the Biden administration’s stance on Israel.
As Ocasio-Cortez left the House chamber Greene shouted ‘Hey Alexandria’ twice to get her attention, according to Washington Post journalists who saw the confrontation.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson had more than twice the amount of viewers than the other top cable news shows that aired in the 8:00 p.m. time slot, Tuesday’s cable news ratings showed.
Around 3,266,000 people tuned in to “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday night, according to cable news ratings from AdWeek’s TVNewser. In comparison, 1,269,000 people watched Anderson Cooper on CNN, and 1,242,000 people watched Chris Hayes on MSNBC — the two other major cable news shows that air at the 8:00 p.m. hour.
Let’s shake off the influence of those who would have us shrink back and stay silent. Let’s follow Pastor Pawlowski’s lead and be a bold church unafraid to serve God in a hostile culture.
Last weekend the world saw a fearless man of God, Pastor Artur Pawlowski, arrested for leading a church service. This faithful pastor, who escaped the iron fist of communist rule in Poland as a child, was handcuffed on the streets of Canada and thrown in jail for refusing to shutter his church.
Not too long ago, this shocking display of repression would be unheard of in the western world. But over the last year, government efforts to curtail our freedom to worship have become all too common, and it has uncovered an uncomfortable problem in our church.
We are facing an identity crisis. Do we fearlessly follow the God who redeemed us, or serve the woke whims of our current culture?
Israel faced a similar dilemma in the Old Testament. At a time years of drought and the pressure of culture had pressed them hard, Elijah stood on Mount Carmel and challenged the people: “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him” (1 Kings 18:21).
Simple. Direct. That’s the message for the church today.
We’ve been a nation locked down, divided, intimidated, pummeled, and marginalized with unrelenting narratives of fear, paranoia, and hopelessness. We’re enduring a global pandemic, historic violence, racial strife, civil unrest, and economic instability. Everywhere you turn, there is more bad news.
But this is not new to the church. Christ promised us that if we follow Him we will face persecution. He promised us “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
In my state of California, the church has been deemed non-essential by politicians who have no fear of God. Godless politicians have commanded us to forsake the gathering of the saints. They have commanded us to not lift up our voices in worship. They have demanded that we give up our duties as believers to be the hands and feet of Christ, shrink back, forgo His Holy Communion, and hide in fear.
Too many did, and the world suffered. Suicide rates exploded across many cities in America. Alcoholism, drug use, and the abuse of prescription drugs are at levels we never thought possible in our society. Families have been separated, unable to see each other from quarantine regulations and the strain of the season has sent even strong marriages into a tailspin.
When Americans needed hope the most, and our only connection was in a distorted virtual world, Big Tech kicked into overdrive to label Bible verses “offensive content” on social media platforms. This happened to me on Twitter. In fact, many of our “Let Us Worship” live worship and prayer gatherings were censored and in some cases erased altogether from Facebook and Instagram.
The enemy has been wreaking havoc across the land to carry out his primary job description of “killing, stealing and destroying” (John 10:10), and he has succeeded in many ways. Yet I believe the enemy has overplayed his hand.
God promises a fresh start. He is in the business of redemption and new beginnings. Isaiah 60:1-3 promises us: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you.”
Trump: ‘This will prove true in numerous other states’
A lawyer fighting an election-fraud case in Antrim County, Michigan, has revealed that the voting machines there contained a software program that could have been used to manipulate vote totals.
In fact, lawyer Matthew DePerno said in a podcast interview that with the MySQL program installed on the machines, and them all being linked, someone with access could “do whatever you want.”
DePerno, just a day earlier confirmed in a court hearing that there were 1,061 “phantom votes” in the county during the 2020 presidential election, because while a recount of ballots tallied 15,962, the Michigan secretary of state’s database showed only 14,901 votes were cast.
His latest concerns were raised during an interview with JD Rucker at the NOQ Report.
Rucker said the bombshell that DePerno delivered was that all of the voting machines were connected to each other through an intranet, that itself was not connected to the internet. However, he said a laptop computer with access to the intranet and access to the internet was left on during the Election Night counting.
‘After you’ve been in there a week, death starts to look better than staying there’
The Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Christians has taken a disturbing new turn. According to a recent Radio Free Asia report, Chinese Christians are being detained at secretive “brainwashing camps.”
The only way to sell Americans on getting so many dirty vaccines, year in and year out, is through a massive fear mongering campaign, hosted by the CDC and mass media everywhere. The problem is that it works, mainly because the populace is so doped up on mercury poisoning from the multi-dose flu shots that they can’t even remember what happened from one fake pandemic to the next.
Over 150 million Americans are fully convinced that every virus the media promotes is like the black plague, and that the human immune system is so weak, from birth to death, that we must ALL get every vaccine for every fake pandemic, or we will all die young. So let’s take an inside look at the real impact of those darned plagues that have totally besieged America for the past dozen or more years, nearly wiping us all off the face of the Earth (not even close).
You see, the real Black Plague, also known as the Bubonic Plague or “Black Death,” killed off some 25 million people in the 1600s. It set the precedent for all the scare tactics and fear mongering used today for any virus the CDC chooses to propagate in the news. Yet, the Black Plague still rears its ugly head all around the world, including in the USA, so where’s all the hype for that? Well, antibiotics quell it, just like vitamin D and zinc beat back Covid, but nobody is allowed to speak of natural remedies in America, or you get “Trumped.”
U.S. consumer prices have soared above economists’ predictions and by the most in more than a decade, as fiscal stimulus and booming demand pushed against supply constraints, potentially fueling market fears of a prolonged bout of higher inflation.
The consumer price index (CPI) jumped by 4.2 percent for the 12 months ending in April, compared to 2.6 percent for the 12 months ending in March, the Labor Department stated in a release on May 12 (pdf). This is the largest 12-month increase since September 2008, when the index rose by 4.9 percent.
Forecasts from economists polled by DailyFX, a financial market insights platform, expected the year-over-year inflation measure to come in at 3.6 percent, compared to the actual 13-year high.
Human nature stays the same across time and space. That is why there used to be predictable political, economic, and social behavior that all countries understood.
The supply of money governs inflation. Print it without either greater productivity or more goods and services, and the currency cheapens. Yet America apparently rejects that primordial truism.
The United States is more than $28 trillion in debt—about 130 percent of the country’s annual gross domestic product. The government will run up a $2.3 trillion budget deficit for 2021 after a record $3.1 trillion deficit the year before.
The Biden administration still wants to borrow more—another $2 trillion in new social programs and “infrastructure.”
In the crazy last 100 days, the price of everything from lumber, food, and gas to cars and houses has soared. Yet many interest rates are still stuck at or below 3 percent.
Colonial Pipeline Co. paid hackers nearly $5 million to free their computer network Friday, despite claims they had no intention of doing so.
Bloomberg News reported that the company paid the ransom in untraceable cryptocurrency and received a decrypting tool to restore their computer network, according to “two people familiar with the transaction.” Though the company received a decrypting tool, it ran very slowly according to the report.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) says that mask mandates and other COVID-19-related restrictions could be eased or altogether lifted by June 15, the Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday.
What are the details?
Newsom said Wednesday that the state could “significantly ease its mask mandates” over the next several weeks, the outlet reported, citing the continued decline of COVID-19 infections and increase in vaccinations.
On June 15, Newsom said, “we’ll move beyond the blueprint and we’ll be in a completely different space.”
