WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed a waiver Thursday delaying the move of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“While President Donald J. Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President’s strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance,” the White House said in a statement.   Continue reading “Trump Signs Waiver to Keep Embassy in Tel Aviv”

WEB Notes: Yes, strip down and submit to sexual body searches. But hey, this nation is so concerned about safety that they bring in records of refuges from middle eastern nations soaked in war, terrorism and death. We are so concerned about safety we invite illegal immigrants to our nation and provide them with free healthcare and living assistance. We are so concerned about our safety we even have sanctuary cities to protect these illegals and keep them safe. But you Mr. and Mrs. America, you have become serfs in your own nation. We cannot say we were not warned this would happen.

WASHINGTON – The United States’ future as a leader in international efforts to slow climate change teetered on the edge Wednesday, as reports emerged from the White House that President Donald Trump was preparing to announce he would withdraw the country from the Paris accord.

The development fanned a debate within the U.S. oil and gas industry over whether the country was unwisely sacrificing its leadership role on a global pact that threatens to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels for decades to come in favor of less carbon-intensive forms of energy. The debate has largely pitted major oil companies that do business around the world against smaller firms already struggling with low oil and gas prices and increased regulations – a split so sharp that the American Petroleum Institute, which represents a wide range of oil and gas companies, has not taken a position on the pact.   Continue reading “Small US oil firms at odds with oil majors over Paris climate deal”

WEB Notes: Why on earth would any Christian be a part of this blasphemous church these days? They marry homosexuals, homosexuals serve as priests and now they are going to receive their own “ceremony”. This happened to ancient Israel as well. Those who are supposed to turn to God instead turn to themselves and they turn the flock to perversion. In ancient times Israel had “grove” worship. For an explanation on that read this past article. The people think this is okay, the people think it is fair and they embrace it. Is it any wonder why our Father said in Jeremiah 4:22 says,

It has been more than 60 days since Venezuela’s Supreme Court moved to dissolve the country’s National Assembly. The move, intended to eliminate a thorn in the side of embattled President Nicolas Maduro, was reversed after three days — but the political fallout has barreled into its third month, roiling city streets across the country.

In that time, the list of protesters’ demands — from the resumption of local elections to an end to the nationwide food shortage to even the ouster of Maduro — has grown. And the death toll has mounted.   Continue reading “As Venezuela Enters 3rd Month Of Protests, Anti-Maduro Ire Finds New Target”

RALEIGH – It would be easier to legally carry concealed handguns under a gun-rights bill that began moving in the state House on Wednesday.

Concealed-carry permits would no longer be needed if the legislature passes House Bill 746. It’s already legal to wear a visible handgun, except where restricted. Concealed handguns would be treated similarly under the bill.

Russia has launched five successful flights of a hypersonic jet that is capable of destroying an aircraft carrier with a single impact, according to a new report.

The Zircon cruise missile travels between 3,800mph and 4,600mph – five to six times the speed of sound – and puts Russia ‘half a decade’ ahead of the US’, the report says.

This makes it faster than any anti-missile system, including those that are expected to appear in the next two decades.      Continue reading “Russia successfully launches ‘unstoppable’ cruise missile”

The world’s largest airplane – designed to reshape space travel by launching rockets mid-air into orbit from 30,000 ft – rolled out of its hangar for the first time Wednesday at the Mojave Air and Space Port in the US.

The groundbreaking plane, which looks like two aircraft joined together, is the brainchild of billionaire Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen and his private spaceflight company Stratolaunch. Allen founded the company in 2011 with the goal of making access to low-Earth orbit more “convenient, reliable and routine.”   Continue reading “World’s largest airplane rolls out of hanger for first time”

GAZIANTEP, Turkey (AP) — They are veterans of Syria’s rebellion, trying for years to bring down President Bashar Assad. But these days they’re doing little fighting with his military. They’re struggling to find a place in a bewildering battlefield where several wars are all being waged at once by international powers.

Syria’s civil war has become a madhouse of forces from Turkey, the United States, Syrian Kurds, the Islamic State group, al-Qaida as well as Assad’s allies Russia, Iran, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Iraqi and Afghan Shiite militias — all with their own alliances and agendas.  Continue reading “Short of allies, Syria’s rebels are down but not out”
