Kamala Harris blasted for ‘enjoy the long weekend’ tweet, with no mention of Memorial Day

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

New York Post: Vice President Kamala Harris drew heat online Saturday for telling Americans to “enjoy the long weekend” — which ends with a national day of mourning.

Harris tweeted the celebratory words Saturday afternoon, alongside a picture of herself smiling. She did not mention Memorial Day, the upcoming federal holiday reserved for honoring military members that have died protecting the US.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal …” Ecclesiastes  3:1-3

Reactions to the tweet were largely negative and sarcastic, with one user replying, “I’ve never been able to “enjoy” Memorial Day. It became that much harder when I lost my son fighting for this country. Thanks anyway Madam Vice President.”

Report: Hamas Coordinated Gaza War With Iran, Hezbollah in Joint Military Room

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Algemeiner: Senior leaders of the Gaza Strip-ruling Hamas terrorist organization and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) worked reportedly in close coordination with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Hezbollah to discuss military operations during the 11 days of fighting with Israel.

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. Psalm 83:4 KJV

The editor-in-chief of the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, Ibrahim Al-Amin, said during an interview with Hezbollah-operated Al-Manar TV that the IRGC, Hezbollah and Hamas set up a joint military operations room in Beirut during the May hostilities in Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The channel’s report said that Al-Amin claimed “officers from Hezbollah, IRGC, and Hamas coordinated the military confrontation in Gaza” and “the Commander of IRGC’s Al-Quds Force, General Esmail Qaani, visited Lebanon twice to attend the chamber meetings.”

According to a May 27 analysis by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, Qaani discussed the fighting between Israel and the Palestinians in a phone conversation with Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh. The IRGC general praised the acts of “resistance” against the “Zionists” and emphasized Iran’s support for the Palestinians in light of the “aggression and crimes of the Zionist enemy in Jerusalem and Gaza.

Michigan High School Valedictorian Forbidden from Mentioning Christianity in Graduation Speech

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

American Greatness: A high school valedictorian in Michigan is being prohibited by the school from mentioning her Christian faith in her graduation speech, the Daily Caller reports.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” John 15:18 ESV

The student, Elizabeth Turner, is the valedictorian of Hillsdale High School in Hillsdale, Michigan. Upon submitting the draft of her speech to the school, the speech was returned to her with several passages censored due to her mentioning Jesus Christ and her Christian faith. The justification given by the school’s principal, Amy Goldsmith, was that discussing Christianity was “not appropriate” and would not be “representing the school.”

“You are representing the school in your speech, not using the podium as your public forum,” Goldsmith said in her comments on the Google Doc version of the speech. “We need to be mindful about the inclusion of religious aspects. These are your strong beliefs, but they are not appropriate for a speech in a public school setting.” Read More

Taliban Ramps Up Reconquest Of Afghanistan As U.S. Forces Pull Out

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Daily Wire: Taliban militants are retaking lost ground as the Biden administration pulls U.S. forces out of Afghanistan, taking over dozens of posts and bases and casting out hundreds of Afghan officials.

The Taliban, designated a terror group by the U.S. State Department, has led an insurgency against the U.S.-backed Afghan government for roughly two decades since United States forces drove the Taliban out of Afghanistan in 2001. Taliban, Afghan, and U.S. forces have been locked in conflict ever since, making the Afghan War the longest war in United States history.

President Joe Biden announced in April that he was pulling American troops out of Afghanistan and aims to have the process completed by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the terror attack that cost the lives of more than 3,000 Americans and precipitated the nearly two-decade war in Afghanistan. As U.S. troops begin to pack up and move out of the region, Taliban forces are moving into the vacuum and overpowering demoralized Afghan forces, according to The New York Times.

The Taliban conquest has been largely bloodless. Read More

President of John Paul II Institute wants ‘pastoral care’ of homosexuals, including ‘integration’ and reception of the sacraments

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

LifeSite News: When Monsignor Philippe Bordeyne, until now rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris, takes over the presidency of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for the Science of Marriage and the Family next fall, he will ensure that the “new paradigm” introduced into family ministry by Amoris laetitia, and in particular its controversial chapter 8, is observed.

“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination” Leviticus 18:22

Vaticanist Sandro Magister’s article on Bordeyne’s proposal to establish the possibility of a blessing – private and individual – for homosexual partners in a stable union, with a view to accompanying them on their path to holiness, has already provided an insight into the most topical aspect of the new political line of the renewed and renamed John Paul II Institute.

These reflections are part of an essay that the theologian has just published in the Catholic Institute of Paris magazine Transversalités. It is a text that deserves to be studied more closely, because Bordeyne’s proposal is part of a whole and concludes a line of reasoning whose rupture with the traditional teaching of the Church seems obvious, even if the author denies it.

Bordeyne advocates a change in approach to homosexuals and the Church’s teaching on sexuality, from pastoral welcoming to “integration” through “discernment,” eventually leading to the reception of the sacraments in spite of an “irregular situation” – words he does not approve of. Read More

SHOCKING: Biden Has Recruited Muslim Extremists to Investigate “Extremism” in U.S. Military

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

The New American: It wasn’t a “white supremacist” who killed 14 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, but Muslim extremist Major Nidal Malik Hasan. It’s also not white supremacists that we’ve expended great blood and treasure fighting in costly wars since 9/11, but Islamic jihadists. But this hasn’t stopped the Biden administration from recruiting terrorist-enabling Muslim extremists to help root out “extremism” in the U.S. military.

It’s an unbelievable move, so much so that it could make some wonder: Is the goal really to eliminate radicalism?

Or is it to cultivate a certain kind of convenient radicalism?

A decade ago, Hina Shamsi was fighting on behalf of the Holy Land Foundation whose leaders had been convicted of providing material support to Hamas.

Hina Shamsi – Witness to Guantanamo

As the head of the ACLU’s National Security Project, Shamsi, a Pakistani citizen, had fought fiercely for the Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. “We all must pledge — not one person more in Guantanamo, not in our names,” she recently declared.

But now the Pakistani advocate for Islamic terrorists has a new job: going after our soldiers. Read More

67 Anti-Israel Groups, Including Jews, to March on Congress Saturday

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Jewish Press: The Stand with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and at least 66 other organizations, will join forces in a National March for Palestine in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, May 29 at 3:00 PM EST (when Jews traditionally sleep off their cholent). The march will start at the Lincoln Memorial and continue to Congress.

“I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land. Joel 3:2 ESV

The march is a part of the new Sanction Israel campaign, and the marchers will be calling on the Biden administration and Congress to stop giving Israel billions in U.S. tax dollars which it uses to defend itself against thousands of terror rockets launched at its civilian population from the Gaza Strip.

At least two Jewish groups will probably skip the Shabbes nap tomorrow: the Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews for Palestinian Right of Return. You can probably also expect the fine boys and girls of IfNotNow to show up. They all should probably seek a sheltered spot, in case of a spontaneous lightning strike. Read More

Costco is seeing inflation abound, impacting a slew of consumer products

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

CNBC: Don’t tell Costco executives that inflation is low.

The big-box club chain said it’s been seeing accelerating prices across a range of products, including shipping containers, aluminum foil and a 20% spike in meat prices over the past month.

“Inflationary factors abound,” CFO Richard Galanti said on the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings call Thursday.

“You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

“These include higher labor costs, higher freight costs, higher transportation demand, along with the container shortage and port delays … increased demand in various product categories some shortages, various shortages of everything from chips to oils and chemical supplies by facilities hit by the Gulf freeze and and storms and, in some cases, higher commodity prices … Read More
