Newsmax’s Steve Cortes Blasts The Fed For Crushing The Middle Class & Protecting Biden
Zero Hedge: Former Fox Business anchor Trish Regan spoke with former investment manager turned White House advisor turned Newsmax host Steve Cortes on her podcast called “American Consequences” about the Federal Reserve decimating the American middle class.
Before Regan spoke with Cortes, she provided readers with a backdrop of the word “transitory” and how The Fed ignores soaring prices of goods and services.
“And he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Haggai 6:1
Heck, it’s a brilliant strategy by the Fed because if six months from now prices are still increasing, Chair Jerome Powell will merely say inflation remains transitory. Still, in reality, it’s not and becoming more persistent…
Regan asked a very important question during in the intro of the podcast: How long can the middle class handle surging stagflation: soaring gasoline and supermarket prices and barely any real wage growth (on top of new virus restrictions).
She said the 11-14% food price increases at the supermarket are beginning to dent consumer sentiment, adding that middle-class wages adjusted for inflation aren’t going as far as they used to. Many folks are living a different life than they were in pre-COVID times, and they’re becoming furious that the American dream is collapsing in front of their eyes.
Regan adds a confluence of bad events, such as inflation, souring consumer sentiment, and the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle is damaging people’s perception of the Biden administration. Read More
The disaster in Afghanistan is worse than the fall of South Vietnam
LifeSite News: Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, we are now receiving credible reports that over the past 72 hours groups of Americans have been refused entry in Kabul Airport.
Lara Logan, a well-known investigative reporter, tweeted on Saturday that “Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul – been on this all night with no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd [Airborne] soldiers at the gate, many are turned away and sent back to the Taliban.”
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” Galatians 6:7
If you thought that President Joe Biden sent the 82nd Airborne to Kabul to make sure that all Americans were evacuated, you would be mistaken. The vast majority of those who have been evacuated are Afghanis, and now Americans are being left behind. As Logan herself later tweeted, “All that stands between these Americans and safety/home is the US govt and military.”
Logan’s report was independently confirmed by Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, who tweeted on Saturday: “I am furious!! My team has been on the phone all day trying to get AMERICAN CITIZENS out. They have been just outside the airport numerous times, but the State Department WILL NOT help them.”
But of course the buck stops with Biden, as Rep. Dan Crenshaw, himself a former special operator, pointed out: “America, you need to know this: Biden is not letting US citizens through the airport gates. Read More
Disgrace: Pentagon Announces End of the Afghanistan Evacuation, with Hundreds of Americans Left Behind
(The last U.S. Military plane carrying evacuees out of Afghanistan has taken off)
Breitbart: The Pentagon on Monday announced the completion of the evacuation mission in Afghanistan, the end of the U.S. military presence after nearly 20 years.
Central Command Commander Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie announced in a briefing on Monday that the last U.S. military aircraft has departed from the Hamid Karzai International Airport, where the evacuation was being staged.
“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14 ESV
“I’m here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, third-country nationals, and vulnerable Afghans,” he said.
“The last C-17 lifted off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 30 this afternoon at 3:29 p.m. East Coast time and the last manned aircraft is now clearing the airspace above Afghanistan,” he added.
“Tonight’s withdrawal signifies both the end of the military component of the evacuation mission, but also the end of the 20 year mission that began in Afghanistan that began shortly after September 11, 2001,” he said.
The evacuation was due to end August 31 local time.
McKenzie conceded that hundreds of Americans were left behind in the country. Read More

New York ends religious exemption for COVID vaccine mandate: 450,000 healthcare workers affected
Those who refuse to take the injection may be fired.
LifeSite News: Healthcare workers in the state of New York ordered to get the COVID-19 jab will not have the option of a religious exemption, thanks to emergency authorization passed late last week.
In Thursday’s decision, a New York State Department of Health board unanimously approved a COVID-19 mandate for all New York healthcare personnel.
In passing the measure the board also scrubbed the option for a religious exemption, effectively forcing the more than 450,000 healthcare workers in the state to get the jab whether they have religious objections to the abortion-tainted injection or not.
Under the new rules, no more religious exemptions will be granted, and previously obtained religious exemptions will be invalidated.
The new emergency mandate took effect immediately, and will be subject to review after 90 days.
As noted by Becker’s Hospital Review, the mandate will apply to those working in hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic and treatment centers, adult care facilities, certified home health agencies, hospices, long-term home health care programs, AIDS home care programs, licensed home care service agencies, and limited licensed home care service agencies.

Horror: Biden Drone Strike Killed Nine Members of a Single Family, Including Six Children
PJ Media: Barack Obama’s preference for drone strikes over boots on the ground was highly criticized for the amount of collateral damage the drones caused—yet Joe Biden, who simultaneously wants to end the “endless war” in Afghanistan yet also avenge the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, is repeating the same mistakes, adding to the amount of innocent blood spilled.
On Monday, CNN reported that nine members of one family, including six children, were killed in a U.S. drone strike. The youngest killed was a two-year-old girl.
“It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For a throne is established by righteousness.” Proverbs 16:12
According to a surviving family member, they were not connected to ISIS or any terror groups. “We are not ISIS or Daesh and this was a family home — where my brothers lived with their families.”
“All the neighbors tried to help and brought water to put out the fire and I saw that there were five or six people dead,” a neighbor of the family told CNN. “The father of the family and another
The Biden administration has claimed that two high-profile ISIS-K targets were killed in a recent strike, but have refused to release their names.
U.S. Central Command has acknowledged the reports of civilian casualties, but I want to hear from Biden—who said we’d hunt down those responsible for the terror attack on Kabul airport, not innocent families and children.
young boy and there were two children. They were dead. They were in pieces. There were [also] two wounded.”
“Not much is left of their house and nothing can be recognized, they are in pieces,” another neighbor told CNN. Read More
Rashida Tlaib Promoted a Fundraiser for Group Tied to Hamas, Taliban
Free Beacon: Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Wednesday shared a tweet that advertised a fundraiser for an organization with ties to Hamas and the Taliban.
Tlaib, who has a long history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, retweeted a post from critical race theorist Khaled Beydoun that urged donations to Baitulmaal, a Texas-based nonprofit. Experts say Baitulmaal helps fundraise for Hamas and distributes aid to the “families of martyrs of the Palestinian people.” And the group’s leader, Mazen Mokhtar, has been accused of working with the Taliban and other terrorist groups.
“Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places …” Malachi 1:4
The retweet isn’t the first time Tlaib expressed support for terrorists. Days after she became a congresswoman, the controversial Democrat hosted Abbas Hamideh, a pro-Hezbollah activist who has repeatedly compared Israelis to Nazis. She shared a post last year that included an anti-Semitic phrase frequently used by Palestinian terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel. She subsequently unshared the post.
Baitulmaal works closely with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a 2020 analysis by the Middle East Forum. Read More
Shocking Report: Military Is Flying TERRORISTS Out of Kabul — and INTO America
New American: While American citizens stuck in Afghanistan had been required to fill out an online form to be evacuated, a report informs that massive numbers of Afghans are being flown out of Kabul without any proof of identification whatsoever. At least 100 of these refugees are on terror watch lists, and one evacuated man apparently works directly for the brutal Islamic State, infamous for burning people alive and drowning them in cages.
In fact, of the 100,000 people evacuated thus far from Afghanistan, only 5,000 have been American citizens. How many of the other 95,000 will commit terrorist acts in the West? Time will tell — even if our government won’t.
Telling us about the story Friday night was Fox News host Tucker Carlson. He mentioned that after the abrupt closure of the massive Bagram Airfield — an outrageous act that led to the killing of 13 servicemen on Thursday — evacuation of Americans and allies from Afghanistan had to be staged from the virtually undefendable commercial airport in the country’s capital, Kabul.
Carlson then pointed out that the same officials responsible for this debacle are now “overseeing what may be the largest airlift in generations, an airlift of thousands of Afghan citizens into the West and into our country.” But who are these people? Read More

The Fed Keeps Printing “Or The Whole Thing Blows Up”
Zero Hedge: Financial writer, market analyst and precious metals expert Craig Hemke says the Fed has all but said it was going to delay the so-called “taper” of easy money policies–forever. This is why gold and silver spiked as the dollar tanked on Friday.
“Do not harm the oil and wine” Rev. 6:6
Hemke contends, “The Chinese, four months in a row, have been net sellers of Treasuries…They’re not buying them. Well, somebody has got to buy…”
“Congress just announced this week that they came to a deal where they are going to spend $4.1 trillion on what is allegedly called infrastructure. . . . The money has got to come from somewhere. There is this notion that they are just going to raise taxes on rich people. Rich people are just going to change how they spend and do their taxes. Who is going to loan us money? It’s not going to be the Chinese or other foreign countries because they don’t have confidence in us anymore.
So, the money is going to come from somewhere. Of course, the Fed is going to keep monetizing the debt because if they don’t, interest rates have got to rise to a point people are willing to loan it to the U.S. If interest rates go to 3% or 5%, the whole thing blows up.”
Hemke points out, “All we can do is prepare for a time when this finally implodes because it will…” Read More
Israel to oppose US consulate for PA in Jerusalem?
Arutz Sheva: One of the known points of contention between Israel and the United States is around the establishment of an American consulate for the Palestinian Arabs to be located in Jerusalem, a problematic step for Israel, which sees this as an expression of readiness for a future division of Jerusalem.
“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you came out of Egypt” Deut. 25:17
Currently, the plan is to build the consulate on Agron Street where the American consulate stood until the establishment of the embassy in Jerusalem by the Trump Administration.
Then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced in 2018 that contact with the Palestinian Authority population would take place through the “Palestinian Affairs” section of the United States Embassy in Israel and not as a separate diplomatic mission.
The Biden Administration has expressed its desire to establish a separate consulate in Jerusalem for the PA since taking office in January. Arutz Sheva asked a political source in Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s entourage whether the issue of the consulate came up in talks with representatives of the Biden Administration and the president himself during his visit to the United States.
The source clarified to us that the issue did come up, but stressed that this is an issue on which both parties disagree. “This is an open issue,” Read More
