JERUSALEM (Reuters) – A Palestinian stabbed an Israeli security guard at Jerusalem’s main bus station on Sunday, police said, and violence flared near the U.S. Embassy in Beirut over U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Four days of street protests in the Palestinian territories over Trump’s announcement on Wednesday have largely died down, but his overturning of long-standing U.S. policy on Jerusalem — a city holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians — drew more Arab warnings of potential damage to prospects for Middle East peace.   Continue reading “Palestinian stabs Israeli in Jerusalem; anti-Trump protest flares in Beirut”

Whether it be hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding or wildfires, America has been inundated with devastating manmade and so-called natural disasters. They were manmade by steering hurricanes onto American coastal regions, weather modifications, and undoubtedly enemies of American Nationals lighting off wildfires. Sound a little over the top? Yeah, the truth hurts doesn’t it? Weather modification playing a huge part? You betcha.

Every one of these disasters cost billions of dollars, Hurricane Harvey alone is estimated at $190 billion, that is a low estimate in my opinion. The wildfires in California are going to be incalculable; estimates so far are again low. Hurricane Irma was a Cat 5, it stayed a Cat 5 longer than any other hurricane except hurricane Ivan in 2004. Irma stayed at 184 MPH for 34 hours. It took out outer Islands before heading into the mainland. There have been over 1300 tornadoes hit inside American soil since October 8th.   Continue reading “American Disasters Have Eclipsed Anything We Have Seen Previously – 15 So Far This Year”

The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force,” said Thomas Jefferson in an 1807 letter to Chandler Price. And what would the nation’s third president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence say of today’s American “global force” deployed across the earth?

America’s “global military presence” is not hyperbole, but a literal fact, as a new Department of Defense study has found that US military personnel are stationed in literally every nation on the earth. The report bluntly confirms that, “The United States has military personnel in nearly every country in the world, ranging from two liaison officers in Fiji to tens of thousands from all of the service branches in Japan and Germany, according to the report.”   Continue reading “Dude Where’s My Troops?

“That is not a good translation,” Francis said during the interview.   Continue reading “Pope Francis proposes change to the Lord’s Prayer”

Several new attempts are being made to reform a controversial law that prevents the public from knowing the identities of politicians accused of sexual misconduct.

If the Trump administration has its way, the tip you leave your waiter or waitress could end up in the pocket of the restaurant owner instead of the person who served you.

This week, Trump’s Labor Department proposed rescinding an Obama-era rule that made the logical point that tips are the property of the servers and cannot be taken by the restaurant owner.   Continue reading “The Trump Administration Wants to Take Servers’ Tip Money Right Out of Their Pockets”

LOS ANGELES — Carli Jo Bidlingmaier was talking to a group of 20-somethings in a living room in the Bel-Air neighborhood here, weeks before the wildfires. She was explaining that consuming marijuana allows a woman to awaken her “yoni,” a Sanskrit term for vagina favored by Hollywood bohemians.

“Everybody stand up!” she shouted. The crowd, all women seated on pillows on the floor, leapt to their feet.

There are estimated, today, to be in excess of 40 million, mainly white, fundamentalist, Christian Zionists in America, primarily in the South. They believe that supporting Israel is a biblical issue, not a political one and they comprise the largest pro-Israel bloc in the United States which believes that God gave Israel to His ‘chosen people’, the Jews.

The Zionist evangelical faith is rooted in the belief that God keeps his promises.
