As Taliban Advances, Afghan Military Overhauls War Strategy to Limit Losses

Algemeiner: Reeling from a surge in battlefield losses, Afghanistan’s military is overhauling its war strategy against the Taliban to concentrate forces around the most critical areas like Kabul and other cities, border crossings and vital infrastructure, Afghan and US officials say.

“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.” Revelation 16:12

The politically perilous strategy will inevitably cede territory to Taliban insurgents. But officials say it appears to be a militarily necessity as over-stretched Afghan troops try to prevent the loss of provincial capitals, which could deeply fracture the country.

Taliban insurgents are gaining control of more and more territory, which the Pentagon estimated on Wednesday now extends to over half of half Afghanistan’s district centers. The Taliban are also putting pressure on the outskirts of half of the provincial capitals, trying to isolate them.

US intelligence assessments have warned that the Afghan government could fall in as little as six months, US officials told Reuters. Read More

NFL Teams With Unvax’d Players To Forfeit Games, Incur Financial Liability During Outbreaks

Zero Hedge: The NFL has notified clubs that if there’s a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, teams who can’t reschedule during the 18-week season will forfeit the match, be credited with a loss, and potentially incur financial liability and discipline from the commissioner.

“A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:19

According to the NFL Network‘s Tom Pelissero, the league intends to play its entire 272-game schedule over 18 weeks, and ‘does not anticipate adding a ’19th week’ to accommodate games that cannot be rescheduled within the current 18 weeks of the regular season.”

DeSantis to Biden on Cuba: ‘Step Up And Be On The Side Of Freedom’

PJ Media: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis challenged President Joe Biden during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday night, at roughly the same time that Biden had a town hall on CNN, to step up and be on the side of freedom by supporting the Cuban people’s quest for freedom.

“You said, while the people of Cuba are showing incredible courage, the Biden administration said the exact words that I believe are showing cowardice,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said. “What should Joe Biden be doing?”

“Step up and be on the side of freedom,” DeSantis responded. “The Internet access is something we have the capability of doing. We have companies in the U.S. that want to do it, but they need the OK of the federal government. He has it within his authority to do that. He could make it happen.”

“And if he’s willing to do that, I think it will make a positive difference,” he continued. “As it stands now, he’s basically just sitting there doing nothing. He’s leaving these folks out to dry. And what’s going to end up happening, if they’re — they don’t get any type of assistance, the regime will continue to clamp down, and they will eventually stamp this out, and then they will remain even stronger in power. And that will be a huge blow to the cause of freedom.”

Biden Downplays Inflation, Predicts Businesses Will Be In ‘Bind’ Over Labor Shortages, Then Has Brain Freeze

Zero Hedge: President Joe Biden waved off long-term inflation concerns on Wednesday, telling a CNN town hall in Cincinnati that it won’t persist as the economy emerges from the pandemic.

There will be near-term inflation” because the economy is recovering, he said, adding that ‘most economists’ think “it’s highly unlikely that it’s going to be long-term inflation that’s going to get out of hand.”

Republicans, meanwhile, largely blame Biden and Democrats for the labor shortages at restaurants and other low-wage businesses because overly-generous pandemic stimulus has removed incentives to get back to work. Biden, in response, suggests these low-margin businesses should simply pay people more – calling rising wages a “feature’ of his economic plans. Read More

Arab Ra’am Party Sounds More Like Hamas in the Knesset

Arutz Sheva: Those who have been pitching the “new and improved” Ra’am Party to the Israeli public as a moderate faction promoting a civil agenda, now that it is a member of Israel’s governing coalition for the first time in Israel’s history, had something of a rude awakening on Sunday, courtesy of the “old” Islamist Ra’am.

Will I not in that day,” says the Lord,
“Even destroy the wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountains of Esau? Obadiah 1:8

Its warning against “settlers and MKs violating the Al-Aqsa mosque” was taken right out of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s playbook. Similar statements were made by the Gaza-based terrorist group as part of its ultimatums to Israel prior to the 11 days of fighting that erupted in May.

Its statement, echoed by the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement from which it hails, adopted the menacing terminology used by Hamas with regard to the Temple Mount.

Kingmaker Ra'am party won't sit in coalition with far-right, warns Arab broker | The Times of Israel

Ra’am knows very well that no Jewish visitor to the Temple Mount plans to breach Al-Aqsa mosque. This didn’t stop it from adopting Hamas-style radicalism in its statement by claiming full proprietary Islamic sanctity over the compound’s 35 acres. Read More

UK’s House Of Lords Is Concerned Over A Dangerous Addiction To QE

Zero Hedge: When and how will central banks escape their addiction to QE? That question was addressed in a report by the UK House of Lords.

The House of Lords is Investigating a Dangerous Addiction to QE

The report is through the eyes of the UK regarding the Bank of England but the comments and concerns apply to every central bank. Here are some snips.

Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse…” Rev. 6:5-6

Lords: In the UK, quantitative easing was envisaged, at the point of introduction in 2009, as a short-term measure to support the economy through the global financial crisis. However, over the last decade or so, the programme has expanded substantially, and it has become the Bank of England’s main monetary policy tool.

Mish: It was supposedly going to be short-term everywhere. It wasn’t. Read More

100,000 Muslims promise to give their lives for Al Aqsa

Arutz Sheva: Nearly 100,000 Muslims arrived Tuesday morning at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, to pray at Al Aqsa Mosque.

Tuesday marks the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zech. 12:3

Some of the worshipers chanted calls against Israel, adding, “We will sacrifice our lives for the sake of Al Aqsa.”

In addition signs were hung near the mosques, expressing support for the Hamas terror organization, with the words, “We are the men of Mohammed Deif,” and “The sword of Jerusalem will free the prisoners.” Read More

 

Federal Judge Blocks Arkansas From Protecting Kids From Chemical Castration

PJ Media: On Wednesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Arkansas’ law protecting children from experimental transgender “treatments” that often carry lifelong effects, including sterilization.

In April, the Arkansas House and Senate voted to override Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s H.B. 1570, the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act. Experimental “puberty-blocking” drugs and cross-sex hormones may have long-lasting impacts on fertility, so advocates have branded them “chemical castration.” Yet opponents of the law claim that withdrawing “health care” will harm children.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13

U.S. District Judge Jay Moody granted the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) request for a preliminary injunction, preventing the law from going into effect until the ACLU’s lawsuit had been resolved, the Associated Press reported. Moody ruled that the ACLU’s plaintiffs were likely to succeed with their legal challenge and that allowing the law to go into effect on July 28 (as planned) would hurt young people who are already undergoing “treatment.”

“To pull this care midstream from these patients, or minors, would cause irreparable harm,” Moody said. Read More

Vaxxed Pelosi, Biden, Hill Staffers Catch China Virus. Vaxxed GOP Rep Quarantined

New American: More evidence shows that vaccines against the China Virus aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

Staff members of the White House and leftist House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) caught the virus from the crazy Texas Democrats who fled the state to avoid voting on a voter-fraud bill.

As well, Florida GOP Representative Vern Buchanan announced that he contracted the virus.

“A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart.” Proverbs 18:2

The virus struck the three after they were vaccinated, as were several other White House and congressional staff members who caught the virus, the website reported.

The report from Axios follows news from England that almost half of all new virus cases have received at least one vaccination shot. More than 100 sailors on the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth came down with the Asiatic bug after they had both injections. Read More
