Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
First, a couple sites I recently discovered that are well worth checking out:
Farm Girl Fresh ~ Healthy, wholesome, homegrown recipes and advice from two Christian “farmgirls”
Men of the West ~ Not just for guys, but with a decidedly male focus. Their mission is inspiring ~
… to clarify the issues of the day and build a community of like minded men who worship Jesus Christ. To unify them across Christendom to steel them against the barbarians who are either at the gates, or already inside them. We will celebrate, defend, and expand Western Civilization and the values and traditions that created it.
The Papal Propagandist for Islam Heads to Egypt ~ Past popes combated the errors of Muhammad. Francis praises them. How can the head of the Catholic Church not believe in transcendental truth? John 14:6.
Judicial Watch: Soros Using U.S. Funds to Help Overthrow Macedonian Government ~ Obama leftovers in DOJ and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have actually been helping Soros pursue his evil goal of global chaos; subverting legitimate governments! According to Judicial Watch ~
USAID, working with radical elements inside the DOS (left over from the Obama administration), have disbursed $5 million to Soros-backed groups in Macedonia through Soros’ Open Society Foundation-Macedonia, with another $9.5 million due to be disbursed over the next several years. The USAID, according to its own website, has served as a pipeline of American monies “on topics such as freedom of association, youth policies, citizen initiatives, persuasive argumentation and [the] use of new media.”
This differs significantly from what one Macedonian official says, according to Judicial Watch: The pipeline funds the “Soros infantry,” consisting of dozens of front groups that radicalize and organize young people, create media outlets dispersing propaganda and organize violent street protests “designed to undermine the institutions and policies implemented by the government.”
Under Socialized Medicine, The State Owns You ~ A tragic tale of state-sanctioned murder from the UK’s NHS; the government actually decreed that a child die.
The Handmaid’s Tale Is Hate Speech ~ In case you were wondering whether to waste the time watching. Don’t ~
The new series from Hulu paints pro-lifers and Christians as sex-obsessed fascists
Reporters Without Borders: Turkey Is ‘World’s Biggest Prison’ for Journalists ~ As I said last week, under Erdoğan, Turkey is rapidly devolving into another islamo-fascist state like Iran ~
“Dozens of journalists have been imprisoned without trial, turning Turkey into the world’s biggest prison for media personnel,” notes RSF. “Those still free are exposed to other forms of arbitrary treatment including waves of trials, withdrawal of press cards, cancellation of passports, and seizure of assets. Censorship of online social networks has also reached unprecedented levels.”
On the other hand, maybe Sweden Has Turned a Corner ~ Very interesting assessment from an inside observer. Perhaps the Swedes have finally figured out they’re facing an existential threat from the very “refugees” they naively welcomed with open arms. Sure hope he’s right.
Former Obama Official: Bureaucrats Manipulate Climate Stats To Influence Policy ~ You mean they really did have an agenda? Who knew? ~
Former Energy Department Undersecretary Steven Koonin told The Wall Street Journal Monday that bureaucrats within former President Barack Obama’s administration spun scientific data to manipulate public opinion.
“What you saw coming out of the press releases about climate data, climate analysis, was, I’d say, misleading, sometimes just wrong,” Koonin said, referring to elements within the Obama administration he said were responsible for manipulating climate data.
Trump Selling Out Religious Conservatives? Betraying the key demographic that put him in the White House? Not good ~
The most absurd example of progressive pathology during Obama’s reign was arguably the legal assault on the Little Sisters of the Poor. “Jumping the shark” called, and it thinks making criminals out of chaste women because they won’t pay for other women to have recreational sex is just begging for some karmic justice.
But sadly, it may be the nuns’ turn to get kicked in the teeth once more. Because elections have consequences, or something.
According to LifeSiteNews, the Trump administration has asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for 60 more days to continue the Obama administration’s bullying of religious institutions. This is after several of them, including the Little Sister of the Poor, had found at least temporary relief in multiple courts from fascism masquerading as feminism.
