Israel 365: Did Naftali Bennett just threaten to cancel the Messiah?
Israel’s Prime Minister called for all Israelis to get vaccinated but implicit in his words was a message that non-vaccination would postpone the Messiah.
At Sunday’s cabinet meeting Naftali Bennett discussed the current spike in the pandemic. He threatened a new shutdown, saying, “If we get vaccinated in Elul, we can hear the shofar in Tishrei.”
The Hebrew month of Elul began this week, marking a period of intensified repentance in preparation for the Jewish high holiday period in the month of Tishrei when the shofar (ram’s horn) is blown on Rosh Hashanna. Read More
Breitbart: It is getting harder and harder for American workers to make ends meet as rising inflation outpaces pay gains, pushing down inflation-adjusted compensation at a pace almost never seen before.
“Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.” Romans 4:4
Adjusted for inflation, hourly compensation fell 2.7 percent in the second quarter, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the nonfarm business sector showed Tuesday.
Real compensation fell 2.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. That decline came in part because unadjusted wage gains were very small, just 0.5 percent. The economy was just extremely sluggish, with a low level of demand for labor following the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing bubble. The consumer price index increased 3.3 percent in the quarter.
The only other comparable contraction was in the first quarter of 1974, when real compensation fell 2.1 percent. Read More
Zero Hedge: The blatant hypocrisy of the liberal elites who attended former President Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard “scaled-down” maskless birthday party over the weekend continues as many guests flew in on their private jets, clogging up a tiny regional airport.
“Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.” Job 8:13
Local newspaper Vineyard Gazette reports a “major jam-up of private jet traffic” was observed at Martha’s Vineyard Airport over the weekend ahead of Obama’s birthday bash.

Breitbart: French President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial and dystopian vaccine passport system came into effect on Monday, with police patrolling the streets and cafes of Paris, demanding citizens present health papers.
The vaccine passport or ‘pass sanitaire’ in French has now become a requirement for much of life in France, effectively creating a two-tiered society in which those who have been vaccinated will be granted more liberties if they can present their papers.
“and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev. 13:17
The digital certificate logs whether you have been vaccinated for more than seven days, or in the case of the Johnson & Johnson jab, four weeks. The pass also includes information on whether you have had a negative coronavirus test within the past 72 hours or can prove to have recovered from the Chinese virus in the past six months.
Starting on Monday, it has become a requirement to present the health pass to enter bars, cafes, and restaurants, including those with outdoor seating. The only exemption for this will be for drive-thru restaurants.
Vaccine passports are also mandated for people making long-distance journeys, including on busses, planes, and trains. The mandate has not extended to local public transport, however. Random checks by police on train platforms will be carried out in order to force compliance with the law.
Les premiers contrôles de #Police ont démarré à titre préventif à #Paris dans les cafés et restaurants où le #PassSanitaire est obligatoire dès aujourd'hui. Verbalisation de 135 euros à partir de la semaine prochaine, jusqu'à 9000 euro en cas de récidive.#Passanitaire#reuterspic.twitter.com/Vvyh75sun3
Vaccine passports have now become a requirement to enter hospitals and care homes for visitors, except in emergency circumstances.
Health Minister Olivier Véran said last week that there will be a carve-out for end of life visits but said: “the frequent visits of families to bring flowers to a patient, it is over because it causes clusters”. Read More
AP News: France took a big step Monday into a post-pandemic future by requiring people to show a QR code proving they have a special virus pass before they can enjoy restaurants and cafes or travel by plane, train or bus across the country.
The measure is part of a government plan to encourage more people to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot and slow down a surge in infections, as the highly contagious delta variant now accounts for most cases in France. Over 36 million people in France, or more than 54% of the population, are fully vaccinated.
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads” Rev. 13:16
The special pass is issued to people who are vaccinated against COVID-19, or have proof of a recent recovery from the virus or who have a recent negative test. The measure also applies to tourists visiting the country.
In the southern city of Marseille, several restaurant owners did not check clients for the pass, an Associated Press reporter saw Monday. Read More
Bloomberg: A change to cryptocurrency reporting rules in the infrastructure bill was blocked in the Senate Monday, leaving language for broad oversight of virtual currencies still in the legislation that’s set to pass the Senate.
The amendment was designed to address concerns from the cryptocurrency industry that the original bill would require entities, like miners and software developers, to report tax data to the Internal Revenue Service that they didn’t have access to. The change was proposed after days of negotiations between three Republicans — Pat Toomey, Cynthia Lummis and Rob Portman — and two Democrats, Mark Warner and Kyrsten Sinema.
The amendment’s failure represents a blow to the crypto industry, which had pushed hard in recent weeks for more narrowly targeted oversight. Portman has said there are other ways to clarify the bill’s language, including Senate floor speeches to show the lawmakers’ intent and additional guidance from the Treasury Department. Lummis said Congress will have to revisit the issue.
“All that means is we’re gonna have to fight this another day Read More
Debkafile: At last, the Biden administration can rest quietly, knowing that Israel’s new government won’t rock the alliance by a surprise attack on Iran or its Lebanese minion, Hizballah.
I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.: Ez. 38:12
Since June, the unpredictable Binyamin Netanyahu has been safely tucked away on the opposition benches. Against his advice, the trio that succeeded him, prime minister Naftali Bennett, foreign minister Yair Lapid and defense minister Benny Gantz, have committed to check first with Washington before resorting to action against those hostile forces. It is moreover understood that in the event of a midnight call on an attack by Iran or Hizballah, from Jerusalem to Secretary of State Antony Blinken or Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin, Israel will be told to hold its horses on retaliation for fear of derailing the administration’s plans for nuclear talks now tentatively timed for mid-September.
The Biden administration is set inflexibly on this course in although the prospects are dim of diplomacy with Tehran reaching any successful culmination. Read More
