Will there be another EU ‘exit’ – over homosexuality?

WND: Respect LGBT rights or get out of the EU, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte instructed Hungary’s Viktor Orban at last week’s gathering of the European Union in Brussels.

According to Reuters, attendees described it as the “most intense personal clash among the bloc’s leaders in years.”

 “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8

What caused the clash?

Hungary just passed a law that bans schools from using materials seen as pro-homosexuality. According to the AP, the new law “prohibits sharing content on homosexuality or sex reassignment to people under 18 in school sex education programs, films or advertisements.”

Rutte eagerly related details of his confrontation with Orban: “It was really forceful, a deep feeling that this could not be. It was about our values; this is what we stand for.”

“I said, ‘Stop this; you must withdraw the law, and if you don’t like that and really say that the European values are not your values, then you must think about whether to remain in the European Union.'” Read More

California Begs For More Electricity As Shift To Renewable Power Leaves State In The Dark

Zero Hedge: Maybe it’s time to admit that the whole “green” energy push is one big farce

Six months after a historic failure in the Texas power grid which collapsed when various “renewable” sources of electricity failed concurrently and dragged down the entire network, California – that liberal utopia powered by renewable power and/or unicorn flatulence – realizes it is about to get Enroned, and has made an urgent request for additional power supplies to avoid blackouts this summer, an extraordinary step after suffering from rolling outages less than a year ago.

“While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22

State energy officials asked the California Independent System Operator, which runs most of the grid, to contract for additional power capacity for July and August on concern it won’t be able to meet demand during the evening when solar production fades, according to a joint statement Thursday from grid, utility and energy agencies. They didn’t say how much more power is needed but one can guess it will be a lot. Read More

LEFT-WING GOVERNMENTS IN ISRAEL, AMERICA: ‘A SIGN OF IMMINENT REDEMPTION PROPHESIED IN DEUTERONOMY’

Israel 365: In a recent video lecture, Rabbi Isser Weisberg addressed Israel’s newly formed government blasting it as a “real insurrection in contrast to the fictitious one of January 6 which occurred only in the demented minds of the leftist democratic party.”

The reason he makes this claim is because as he puts it: “sixty-five percent of all Israelis preferred a right-wing government led by Netanyahu.” However, since Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s New Right party defected to the left, Rabbi Zisser sees no other way to explain the usurpation of the people’s voice than to label it as an ‘insurrection.’

But with all the doom and gloom that goes along with this power-grab, Rabbi Zisser offers a silver lining based on a verse in the Bible. And it is related to the fact that Rabbi Zisser calls those who run the Israeli government as people of Chelm – “a fictitious village of fools.”

“The fact that Israel is governed by the wise men of Chelm is actually a good sign and was prophesied to happen just prior to the redemption in Deuteronomy chapter 32:

For Hashem will vindicate His people And take revenge for His servants, When He sees that their might is gone, And neither bond nor free is left. (Deuteronomy 32:36)

Translating the verse into layman’s terms, the rabbi states: “God will redeem his people when it is clear that they have no one to stand up for them or protect them.” Read More

Communists Pack Tiananmen Square, Site of Historic Massacre, on 100th Anniversary

Breitbart: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP or CPC) packed Tiananmen Square with celebrants Wednesday to hear a speech from President Xi Jinping on the 100th anniversary of the Party’s founding.

Of course, no mention was made of the atrocity perpetrated by the communists in that same location on June 4, 1989, when Chinese troops slaughtered thousands of student demonstrators.

 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. 16:12

China’s state-run Global Times said the square was filled with “cheers and applause” and “genuine joy” during Xi’s belligerent speech, a hardcore nationalist stemwinder that hailed the Communist Party as too powerful to be restrained by any alliance of free nations or international human rights organization.

130 nations agree to support U.S. proposal for global minimum tax on corporations – Ireland Refuses

Zero Hedge: Irish Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe (the current head of the Eurogroup assemblage of EU finance ministers) just issued a terse statement claiming that while Ireland supports the aims of the OECD’s tax reform, it’s wary of the 15% minimum global tax rate.

“And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.” Luke 3:12 KJV

130 nations, including China & India have signed the 15% global minimum tax plan sponsored by the US and OECD Except Ireland Ireland is smart to defend her advantage over China as a gateway to Europe I am shocked any African Nation and UK will agree to 15% tax on FDI

Update (1224ET): In a rare scoop, the Irish Times just reported that Ireland was one of nine countries that didn’t sign on to the global corporate tax deal that was reportedly struck Thursday afternoon in Paris following weeks of negotiations. Ultimately, 130 countries signed on, while the remaining nine countries – including Ireland – refused (the OECD has 139 members in total).

As we have reported, the Irish government has long been wary of the new framework. The Irish Department of Finance even calculated that agreeing to it would cost the country some  €2 billion in annual tax revenue as it would lose its advantageous 12.5% minimum corporate rate.

With the lowest corporate tax rate in Western Europe, Ireland’s participation in the deal is critical. If Dublin refuses to lower its corporate rate, it could create serious problems for the countries that agree to its terms, since Ireland won’t be bound by the 15% minimum rate that’s reportedly part of the deal.

5,000 Burgers Per Day: World’s First Mega Lab-Grown Meat Factory Opens

Zero Hedge: The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) The Great Reset plan includes a complete transformation of the global food and agricultural industries and the dieting of humans. The architects behind this plan are preparing for a meatless society with the introduction of cell-based, slaughter-free meat.

Before this decade is over, we’re all going to be eating some form of slaughter-free meat, including chicken, pork and lamb, and beef. The point of all this is to generate fewer greenhouse emissions at cattle farms, use less land for farming, and reduce the use of freshwater and grains for the traditional process of growing livestock.

The aim is for a sustainable future, and already we’ve noted a few companies producing cell-based, slaughter-free meat. However, these facilities are operating at limited output as it is costly to produce fake meat.

That’s where Future Meat Technologies of Israel comes into play with their brand new facility able to pump out 500 kilograms (1,102 pounds) of cultured meat products per day, or the equivalence about 5,000 hamburgers per day.

“This facility opening marks a huge step in Future Meat Technologies’ path to market, serving as a critical enabler to bring our products to shelves by 2022,” said Rom Kshuk, CEO of Future Meat Technologies. “Having a running industrial line accelerates key processes such as regulation and product development.”

Kshuk said the facility produces cultured chicken, pork, and lamb products, and beef production will be coming online soon. Read More

McCarthy To Introduce Bill Replenishing Israel’s Iron Dome While Democrats Deal With Omar’s Anti-Semitic Outburst

Daily Wire: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will introduce a bill on Thursday to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missiles after reports from earlier this month indicated that Israel was set to request $1 billion from the Biden administration.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:19

McCarthy will make a unanimous consent request that would provide the requested $1 billion in assistance and ensure the Iron Dome is ready when called upon again. Israel used thousands of missiles in May while defending itself against Palestinian terrorist attacks.

The move to fund Israel’s Iron Dome comes as Democrats have had to again deal with another anti-Semitic outburst from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) this week.

Omar said during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper that she did not regret comparing the U.S. and Israel to terrorist organizations, and then she lashed out at Jewish lawmakers. Read More

The 3 trends putting pressure on companies to begin ESG Governance reporting

CNBC: For public companies that haven’t yet committed to ESG reporting, it can be hard to know where to start. But the increasing pressure to participate—from regulators, politicians and investors— should leave no question about when to start: If you aren’t reporting ESG metrics yet, you are already behind.

A new report by the Nasdaq ESG Advisory Practice captures research on the ESG reporting trends of 800 leading global companies.

“Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet.” Daniel 7:19 

“The right time to start ESG reporting was yesterday” says Meagan Tenety, Senior Lead ESG Advisor at Nasdaq, who lead the report. “Today, if you don’t already have something in place either from a regulatory or shareholder’s perspective, you are at risk of being left behind.” The risk is particularly acute for small- and mid-cap companies, Tenety says. “We’re seeing a dearth in disclosure among a lot of companies under a $10 billion market cap.

If these companies grow a little bit over the next couple of years, they could be in rough waters, particularly with investors. Read More

 

Biden’s promise on Iranian nukes is worthless

JNS: Outgoing Israeli President Reuven Rivlin met with U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington this week and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Rome. The theme of both meetings as far as the Israelis were concerned was happiness with the Biden administration.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 KJV

As far as Rivlin and Lapid are concerned, any problems facing the alliance were the fault of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom both men despise despite coming from different ends of the Israeli political spectrum. Lapid went out of his way to declare that “mistakes were made” by Netanyahu, whose policies toward Democrats he described as “shameful and dangerous.” Rivlin was equally eager to portray Biden as a reliable friend of Israel who should be taken at his word when he makes promises about protecting its security.

That’s exactly what the administration wants to hear even if the attempt to depict the Democrats as having been wronged by Netanyahu is inaccurate. After all, it was former President Barack Obama who undermined the alliance between the two democracies with his appeasement of Iran which Netanyahu was right to oppose. And castigating Netanyahu for embracing the historic tilt of the Trump administration and the Republicans toward Israel is equally senseless.

But dunking on Netanyahu isn’t the real objective of the current Israeli government no matter how much its members may enjoy it. Their goal is to use the change in power in Jerusalem to somehow reset relations with the U.S. Read More
