Urgent Prayer: Four Christians Beheaded in Indonesian Terrorist Attack

At around 7:30 on the morning of May 11, in Indonesia’s Central Sulawesi province, a normal day turned into a nightmare as terror struck Indonesian Christians once again. Our partners in Indonesia tell us that four believers were beheaded by Islamic extremists—in the same region where four believers were beheaded and burned alive in November 2020.

The four murdered men were part of Kalimago village; they were killed by attackers believed to be the same terrorist group that attacked Sigi village six months ago. The victims were between the ages of 42 and 61.

Open Doors local partner Ari Hartono* says the attack comes as a shock to believers in Central Sulawesi who are still reeling from the November attacks: “Central Sulawesi locals are still traumatized from the terrorist attack in Sigi last November and have not recovered yet,” he says. “They need our prayers now.”

Children not a ‘vector of transmission’ of COVID-19, nor at risk from it themselves

Official evidence shows that children have nothing to fear from COVID–19, nor are they ‘super spreaders’ of the disease.

Children are safe from COVID-19 and do not pass it on to relatives, teachers or friends. This short guide highlights the main facts that are backed up by credible mainstream sources.

COVID-19 poses no risk to children, even those in the vulnerable category. The chart below, using data from the Office for National Statistics, compares the number of deaths from young people in England and Wales in 2003 with COVID-19 in 2020. Although there have been deaths among children, those who died were already seriously ill.

England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jenny Harries says that children are at more risk from flu or car accidents. Statistically speaking, they have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than dying of COVID-19.

The refinery shutdowns have begun: Two refineries paused due to pipeline cyber hack as America’s energy infrastructure shows shocking vulnerabilities

The nation’s two largest crude oil distillation units were shuttered on Sunday after it was reported that the Colonial Pipeline had suffered an “outage.”

People familiar with the matter told Reutersthat Motiva Enterprises LLC’s 607,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Arthur, Texas, refinery shut down its 195,000-bpd VPS-4 CDU and 80,000-bpd VPS-2 CDU along with its 49,000-bpd reformer and 19,200-bpd lube oil hydrocracker.

This temporary idling of the two CDUs reduces production at Motiva’s refinery by 45 percent. The company declined to discuss any further the status of individual units at the Port Arthur refinery.

Vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outside, Fauci says

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, recommended that people who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear a mask outside.

“We’ve got to make that transition,” Fauci said about vaccinated people who are still wearing face masks when outdoors, during a Thursday morning interview with CBS’s Gayle King.

Ron DeSantis could block the extradition of Trump if he is indicted in New York probe of his finances and law enforcement officials in Palm Beach have been preparing for the scenario

Florida officials are preparing options for what to do about Donald Trump should he be charged by New York prosecutors while he is in the Sunshine state.

The Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation into the former president is reaching its final stages and an obscure extradition clause in Florida law could benefit Trump if he’s indicted.

In Florida’s statute on interstate extradition, the state’s governor has the power to intervene over whether an indicted ‘person ought to be surrendered’ to law enforcement officials from another state, Politico revealed.

That means if Trump gets charged by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance – who is probing the former president’s business practices – it would be in the hands of Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a close Trump friend and ally, to decide if Trump should be handed over to New York authorities. 

Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., where Trump lives in his Mar-a-Lago club, are preparing for a possible indictment coming down from New York. 

And they’re discussing how to how to handle the thorny extradition issue that could come from it, two sources close to the matter told the news outlet.

‘Schools Must Be Open’: Teachers Union President Reportedly Set To Flip, To Say Kids Need To Be In School By Fall

Randi Weingarten, president of one of the largest teachers unions in the country, is set to change course Thursday and call for the full reopening of schools by the fall.

“There is no doubt: Schools must be open. In person. Five days a week,” Weingarten plans to say, according to a copy of her remarks obtained by The New York Times.

Biden: ‘Get Vaccinated or Wear a Mask Until You Do’

  • Vaccine refusniks could be forced to cover up indefinitely.

Joe Biden has suggested that Americans who don’t take the COVID-19 could be forced to wear masks indefinitely.

“The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do,” tweeted Biden. “The choice is yours.”

The direct missive followed an announcement by the CDC that Americans who had taken the vaccine could remove their masks indoors.

However, the updated advisory came with a laundry list of exemptions. Masks will still be mandatory on all forms of public transport, in airports as well as for doctor and hospital visits, nursing homes, jails and homeless shelters.

It is not known how those who have been vaccinated will prove they’ve taken the shot, nor how enforcement of mask wearing for those who haven’t will be conducted.

In lecturing Americans who don’t take the jab that they’ll be forced to mask up for potentially months or even years longer, the Biden administration is creating a second class of citizens, presumably as a punishment for “anti-vaxxers.”

Earlier today, he called on Americans to treat those who choose to wear masks “with kindness and respect,” despite there being significantly more incidents of ‘Karens’ screaming at and harassing people for not wearing a mask.

The lifting of mask mandates for those who’ve taken the shot comes after weeks of complaints that there was no incentive for taking the vaccine given that it didn’t change anything for those who had it.
