Pelosi Again Tells U.S. Athletes To Not ‘Speak Out’ Against Communist China As She Faces Backlash

On Friday, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) doubled down on telling U.S. athletes that they should not “speak out” against communist China during the Winter Olympics which comes as she faces backlash for making the same plea on Thursday during a congressional hearing.

“As I say, as I wish the athletes well, I do not encourage them to speak out against the Chinese government there because I fear for their safety if they do,” Pelosi said in-part.

“Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” Rev. 26:12

“Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless,” Pelosi said. “I know there is a temptation on the part of some to speak out while they are there, I respect that. But, I also worry about what the Chinese government might do to their reputations, to their families.”

Payrolls show surprisingly powerful gain of 467,000 in January despite omicron surge

  • Nonfarm payrolls rose 467,000 in January, well ahead of the 150,000 Wall Street estimate.
  • Leisure and hospitality led the gains, while professional and business services and retail also posted big numbers.
  • Wages surged, rising 0.7% for the month and 5.7% for the year.
  • Massive revisions juiced up the November and December totals by 709,000.

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men “Colossians 3:23

 

Payrolls rose far more than expected in January despite surging omicron cases that seemingly sent millions of workers to the sidelines, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Nonfarm payrolls surged by 467,000 for the month, while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Dow Jones estimate was for payroll growth of 150,000 and a 3.9% unemployment rate.

The stunning gain came a week after the White House warned that the numbers could be low due to the pandemic.

2 Canadian Provinces To End COVID Restrictions: ‘Need To End This Perpetual State Of Crisis’

The leaders of two Canadian provinces announced that they are moving to end their COVID-19 restrictions, amid nationwide protests.

“I get the frustration out there, but the end of COVID-restrictions is near,” Premier of Alberta Jason Kenney wrote in a tweet to his official Twitter account late Wednesday afternoon. “Please stay tuned in the coming days for more information.” Kenney also included a video in the tweet, expressing support with protestors peacefully demonstrating across the country against the nation’s various COVID-19 mitigation restrictions and policies.

“We’ve had a lot of protests, and a lot of people, and I think the vast majority of them are well-intentioned, law-abiding Canadians who are sick and tired of how COVID has turned their lives upside down,” Kenney said in the clip. “They’re frustrated with all kinds of public health measures.”

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” Proverbs 29:2

UPDATE: IS leader blows up self, family as US attacks Syria hideout

The leader of the Islamic State group blew himself up along with members of his family as American forces raided his Syria hideout Thursday, the U.S. said — the second time in three years the United States has taken out a leader of the violent group that has been struggling for resurgence with deadly attacks in the region.

President Joe Biden announced the overnight raid by American special operations forces, which U.S. officials called a “significant blow” to the radical militant organization.

The IS group at the height of its power controlled more than 40,000 square miles stretching from Syria to Iraq and ruled over 8 million people. Its attacks in the region included a major assault last month to seize a prison in northeast Syria holding at least 3,000 IS detainees.

The raid targeted Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, who took over as head of the group on Oct. 31, 2019, just days after leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died during a U.S. raid. Al-Qurayshi, unlike his predecessor, was far from a household name, a secretive man who presided over a far diminished version of the group and didn’t appear in public.

Biden said al-Qurayshi died as al-Baghdadi did, by exploding a bomb that killed himself and members of his family, including women and children, as U.S. forces approached.

Pentagon Confirms Women and Children Dead in U.S. Special Forces Syria Raid

Assessment: It is estimated some 374 IS militants, and 120 Syrian soldiers and prison workers died during the ten-day siege, where IS was initially able to seize control of the prison. It has since been recaptured by the Syrian authorities …

U.S. Special Forces operators were involved in an action that resulted in the deaths of 13 people, including women and children, during an airborne counterterrorism raid in northwestern Syria across the early hours of Thursday morning.

Four children, two women and seven men were reportedly killed during the two-hour exchange which reportedly left behind blood-stained walls and “scattered” body parts.

 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. Daniel 11:40

This has left the media speculating as to whether the attack was aimed at Al-Queda or at the Islamic State, AP reports.

Civilian eyewitnesses described helicopters arriving in the region around 1:10 am, and for forty-five minutes a translator advised any women to surrender or leave the area. Reportedly the U.S. troops were met with silence before a firefight began upon their landing and dismounting from the aircraft – it is unclear who fired first.

U.S. troops were also forced to blow up one of their own helicopters in a controlled explosion during the operation after it experienced a mechanical failure.

This would have been to prevent it falling into terrorist hands, as happened when U.S. forces left up to 167 aircraft, including 33 Black Hawk helicopters for the Taliban to commandeer after President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal in August 2021.

 

The press secretary for the Department of Defense, John Kirby, in a statement said the mission was “successful” and that there were “no U.S. casualties”. Kirby declined at this stage to give any further information, and did not confirm the body count.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggested the target would have had to have been of significance as otherwise the U.S. would not have landed the helicopters and soldiers would not have disembarked.

The raid is the largest U.S. raid of this type since 2019 when President Donald Trump authorised the targeting and killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Biden Administration Poised to Ignore Expected SCOTUS Abortion Ruling

Assessment: In fact Rachel Levine impregnated his wife at least twice while he was still Richard Levine and married to a real woman who could get pregnant …

As the nation prepares for the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in June, both the Right and the Left fully expect that the decision will mark the end of Roe v. Wade. In preparation, the Biden administration has announced a “Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access” to “eliminate barriers” to abortion.

The task force was announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on the 49th anniversary of Roe (January 21). Also announced was a “$6.6 million [grant] through the Title X family planning program to address increased need for family planning services where restrictive laws and policies have impacted reproductive health access.”

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27

Bacerra named HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Rachel Levine and HHS Assistant Secretary for Global Affairs Loyce Pace as heads of the task force. Levine is famous for being the first transgender “woman” (read: man who is fundamentally confused about his external plumbing) to hold an office that requires Senate confirmation.

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26

So, as the nation prepares for the 50th anniversary of Roe to be the first such anniversary in the post-Roe world, the Biden administration is pressing forward with what Biden himself called a “whole-of-government response” to “protect” a woman’s right to kill her unborn child. And just to put in the for-what-it’s-worth column, one of the heads of the task force created to carry out that agenda is a “woman” who can never get pregnant and want an abortion.

This is what it looks like when the lunatics run the asylum.

Afghan Opium Production Skyrockets Under Taliban

Assessment: Additionally, the Biden administration’s failure to evacuate skilled Afghan soldiers who worked for the country’s former fighting force has likely led to them joining the ISIS terrorist group, according to the SIGAR report …

Afghanistan’s opium production skyrocketed in 2021, potentially providing the Taliban government a source of revenue between $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion, according to a new report from the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR).

The war-torn nation’s illegal opiate production in 2021 ranked as the third-highest recorded since the United Nations began reporting it in 1994. It comprised between 9 and 14 percent of Afghanistan’s gross domestic product and exceeded the value of all of the country’s officially recorded legal exports in 2020.

The surge in opium production comes as the U.S. government allocates millions to combat the spread of illicit drugs in the country, according to SIGAR’s latest report, released on Wednesday.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.” Proverbs 12:15

While the Taliban has vowed to combat opium production—even though it could serve a lucrative source of revenue for the terrorist regime—SIGAR says it “has seen no evidence that the Taliban are enforcing or can enforce such a ban. On the contrary, the opium trade in Afghanistan appears to be flourishing.”

In fact, opium dealers, who once operated in the shadows while the U.S.-backed former government was in power, are now selling their drugs from “stalls in village markets,” according to SIGAR’s report. “Opium poppy farmers, a key constituency for the Taliban, are likely to resist a ban,” the watchdog said.

The report quoted one opium seller as saying that the Taliban have “achieved what they have thanks to opium. None of us will let them ban opium unless the international community helps the Afghan people.”

The Biden administration, meanwhile, has renewed its efforts to inject millions of dollars in U.S. aid into the country without formal ties with the Taliban or officially recognizing its rule.
