WEB Notes: We have been promised a new plan to “destroy ISIS” from the Pentagon. They must be closing in on the finishing touches of that plan or at least making them known. On a site note remember when it was treason to tell the enemy your plan? In today’s world it does not matter, the world is a stage and they tell you these things to keep you going just like in the movies, only this “movie” is real life.

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: Remember back in the 90s when you would first see a homosexual on a TV show. They slowly crept in and we were told they just want to be equal. For those that are surprised that was only a ploy. As a Christian you were told to be “tolerant”. You should now note they no longer use that word as LGBTQ rises above Christianity and we have to conform to their ways or else we are seen as less than human. This world has become a cesspool of filth and perversion. We live in Sodom and Gomorrah, actually, Sodom may actually blush looking at what we have today. Never, ever agree  with this filth. Your Father is not pleased, He never accepted this filth and He never will accept this filth. The masses are being conditioned that it is okay, but it is not okay. You hold your ground as a Christian man or woman of God. Stand and stand strong.

A man with a fake gun was taken into custody at the Orlando International Airport Tuesday night following a nearly three-hour standoff with police in one of the main terminals, officials said.

Police said the suspect was attempting “suicide by cop,” trying to draw gunfire from authorities by threatening bystanders and the responding officers. No shots were fired, but panicked travelers ran for cover as the suspect brandished the fake weapon in the terminal’s rental car area, officials said.   Continue reading “Orlando airport terminal shut down for hours due to man with fake gun”

Do you believe high amounts of salt provoke thirst and contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease? If so, you’re likely wrong. Studies have consistently failed to support either of these notions, showing the converse is actually true. Here’s a summary of findings that may surprise you:

•Eating large amounts of salt will not make you thirsty or cause greater urine output (which could lead to dehydration). A study¹involving Russian cosmonauts reveal eating more salt actually lowered their thirst — yet increased hunger.^2,3 Recent animal research⁴ support these results, showing a high-salt diet resulted in increased metabolism, forcing the animals to eat 25 percent more calories just to maintain weight. This suggests salt may have a surprising influence on your weight.

A deep look at the Facebook page of the man who allegedly killed two at the Hollywood MAX stop on Friday reveals shifting political views that often contradicted themselves, though they maintained certain themes throughout, like hating circumcision and Hillary Clinton.

According to Shane Burley, Portland author of the upcoming book “Fascism Today,” that fuzziness is a hallmark of extremism.   Continue reading “Who is Jeremy Christian? Facebook shows a man with nebulous political affiliations who hated circumcision and Hillary Clinton”

It is safe to assume that when President Donald Trump lands in Israel Monday, he will not have been briefed on the irrefutable evidence that, nearly 50 years ago – on June 8, 1967 – Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty in international waters, killing 34 U.S. sailors and wounding more than 170 other crew. All of Trump’s predecessors – Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – have refused to address the ugly reality and/or covered up the attack on the Liberty.   Continue reading “Not Remembering the USS Liberty”

The Democrat-controlled Illinois House approved protections for illegal immigrants, made voter registration automatic for state residents, and passed more severe punishments for gun crimes Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Senate President and Democrat John Cullerton, who supported the immigration bill in the Senate, said it will “provide stability” for Illinois’ estimated half-million illegal immigrants by preventing state and local law enforcement from arresting them. Democratic legislators admit the measure is a direct response to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which they say has caused Illinois communities to “live in fear.”   Continue reading “Illinois House Blocks Arrest Of Illegal Immigrants, Makes Voter Registration Automatic”
