Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Stock futures traded deep in the red early Monday as enthusiasm over a coronavirus stimulus deal was overwhelmed by worries over a viral new Covid strain in the U.K.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average pointed to an opening drop of more than 500 points. Dow futures lost 1.8%. S&P 500 futures shed 2% and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.3%

The losses came even as lawmakers have reached an agreement on a $900 billion relief package, which would provide direct payments and jobless aid to struggling Americans. Read More

Finally: Orthodox Rabbis Attack Raphael Warnock’s Anti-Semitism

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Rabbi Ilan Feldman from Congregation Beth Jacob in Atlanta and Rabbi Avigdor Slatus from Congregation Bnai Brith Jacob in Savannah, both of them Orthodox, last week sent a letter to the campaign of Democratic candidate for one of Georgia’s Senate seats Rev. Raphael Warnock, condemning his objectionable anti-Israel statements.

“We are concerned and hurt by the manner in which the Reverend brushed aside his past rhetoric against Israel and the Jewish community, and even blamed his opponents for ‘trying to use Israel as yet another wedge issue,’” the two Orthodox rabbis wrote.

Warnock signed a letter in 2018 that compared Israel’s status in Judea and Samaria to the “military occupation of Namibia by apartheid South Africa.” In a sermon, also in 2018, he accused Israel of shooting down “unarmed Palestinian sisters and brothers like birds of prey.”

ONTARIO’S CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICERS OF HEALTH DR. YAFFE AND DR. WILLIAMS CAUGHT IN HOT MIC MOMENT

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

While there may now be a needle to treat the coronavirus, there’s no vaccine that can cure the dangers of a hot mic — or mask the embarrassment.

This was an accidental blunder that’s going viral faster than the virus itself.

What they didn’t realize is the microphones were already turned on and their private conversation was anything but.

I wonder who (((they))) are…?

“It’s A Constant Struggle”: Cost Of Living Increases Are Decimating The Middle And Lower Class

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

While the government continues to peddle the CPI fairy tale and the true cost of living (as measured by real-world inflationary indicators like the Chapwood Index) appears to be closer to 10%, instead of 2%, the middle and lower class are bearing the brunt of the pain.This was the topic of a new NPR piece that took a look at exactly why Americans were having trouble paying their expenses. What they found shouldn’t surprise anyone: incomes were being vastly outpaced by the cost of living. “An unexpected bill like that is what separates millions of Americans from financial disaster,” the piece says.

While some of this can be attributed to poor financial planning, some of it can also be attributed to an increasingly skewed playing field that’s being created as a result of monetary policy.

Iran begins construction at underground nuclear site

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran has begun construction on a site at its underground nuclear facility at Fordo amid tensions with the U.S. over its atomic program, satellite photos obtained Friday by The Associated Press show.

Iran has not publicly acknowledged any new construction at Fordo, whose discovery by the West in 2009 came in an earlier round of brinkmanship before world powers struck the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.

While the purpose of the building remains unclear, any work at Fordo likely will trigger new concern in the waning days of the Trump administration before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Already, Iran is building at its Natanz nuclear facility

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

The Trump administration will be withholding Medicaid funds from the state of that requires pro-life churches and Christian groups to fund abortions in their healthcare plans.

On Tuesday, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced the Trump administration will be withholding $200 million per quarter from California until it removes the abortion-funding requirement.
