wnd--2020-05-24--Trump: 'I have a chance to break the Deep State'

In a new interview , President Donald Trump outlined the challenge of his presidency in stark terms as the best chance the nation has to break the stranglehold of powerful insiders on the business of government .
Trump 's willingness to battle what is know as the `` deep state '' came to the fore in an interview aired Sunday by the syndicated news show `` Full Measure . ''
During the interview ( transcript here ) , journalist Sharyl Atkisson brought up recent actions by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grennell to make public information about the early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential campaign by America 's intelligence community .
`` Richard Grenell is a superstar .
He had guts , he had courage to do what he did .
We have another superstar going in as you know , John Ratcliffe .
He just got approved yesterday and he 'll be taking over as of Tuesday , '' Trump said .
`` Richard Grenell has done one of the best jobs I 've ever seen .
I mean , in a short period of time , he exposed them as being corrupt .
Look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ takedown of the president of the United States illegally .
It 's all illegal .
Now , I do n't know what happens .
We hope [ Attorney General ] Bill Barr is going to be as good as we think because Bill , he 's a great gentleman , a great man .
He 's got to hopefully use that information and do what 's right .
And he 'll do what 's right .
TRENDING : Trump campaign launches 'The Right View , ' a competitor to ABC 's 'The View' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right , but what Richard Grenell has done for this country is incredible , '' Trump said .
In the interview , Trump disparaged former Attorney General Jeff Sessions .
`` Jeff Sessions put people in place that were a disaster , '' Trump said .
`` They took over .
They 've always had the Department of Justice , but they kept it under Jeff Sessions .
And the whole thing , the Russian thing is a total hoax .
Think of it .
They spent 40 , 45 million dollars investigating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years .
They found nothing .
No collusion . ''
Trump then focused on the big picture .
`` When you look at what Richard Grenell has done in eight weeks , these people did n't do anything for two and a half years .
They should have been exposing this .
So I 'm very disappointed in certain people .
And some people have done a phenomenal job , but what am I doing ?

`` You happen to be a victim of the deep state .
I hate to tell you , whether you know it or not , but they 've treated you horribly over the years .
And so have they treated many other people , '' Trump said .

`` They never thought I was going to win , and then I won .
And then they tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insurance policy .
She 's going to win , but just in case she does n't win we have an insurance policy .
And now I beat them on the insurance policy , and now they 're being exposed , '' he said .
`` Tremendous things have happened .

`` But I 'll tell you what , what they 've done , if this were President Obama , if this were a Democrat instead of a Republican , people would have been in jail for two years , many people would have been in jail for two years already with a 50-year term .

What they 've done is so corrupt , they 've tried to take down a duly elected president of the United States , happens to be in this case , me , but we can never allow it to happen again , '' he said .
During the interview , Trump was asked about the strongest feature possessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` Well , I would have said experience , but he does n't really have experience because I do n't think he remembers what he did yesterday .
So how is that experience ?

He was then asked to discuss a weakness of his likely adversary .
`` He 's got many .

Later , he added , `` China does n't want me to win , but Biden does n't know , I mean , he does n't know he 's alive . ''
Trump then noted that Biden is little more than a figurehead .

Governor Colyer and I are both rural Americans, from families whose roots go back generations in farming country born in small hometown hospitals. When it comes to health care, we know that rural America has experienced its share of unique challenges and triumphs, and it’s why we are bringing special attention to the impact of COVID-19 in rural areas.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
The pandemic has killed tens of thousands of Americans and wreaked havoc in large urban centers across our great nation. At the same time, clusters of cases have also been reported in rural areas of Minnesota, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Arkansas, and there is certainly a chance we could see additional rural clusters emerge over the next few months.
As states begin to reopen their economies, it is imperative that local leaders recognize and confront the challenges posed by COVID-19. Now is the time for rural America to act, before the pandemic causes further harm to already fragile communities and health care providers.
For the last three decades, health disparities in rural America have continued to grow. During that time, more than 120 rural hospitals closed and many that remain struggle financially. Rural populations are older and sicker, with higher rates of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and lung disease that place them at higher risk. Rural nursing homes and tribal facilities are especially vulnerable.
Rural hospitals may not be prepared to handle more than a few coronavirus patients. Further, canceling many elective procedures has worsened already precarious situations, threatening more closures and staff furloughs. As rural communities begin to reopen, they must be prepared for a potential COVID-19 resurgence while balancing the need to bring health services online in a rapid and safe manner.
The federal government is mobilizing unprecedented resources to meet this challenge. Under the leadership of President Trump, HHS has disbursed $10 billion to rural hospitals, rural health clinics, and rural health center sites, in addition to announcing $400 million to Indian health care facilities. HHS has made over $100 billion in advance Medicare payments to help with cash-squeezed budgets and awarded more than $1.3 billion to health centers to help diagnose and treat COVID-19.
Telehealth has been expanded significantly, and telehealth.hhs.gov was launched to help providers learn to implement this new technology. Many rural Americans can now access telehealth services through commonly-used apps such as FaceTime or Skype to receive care. This will have tremendous impact for rural patients by making doctor visits more convenient, removing unnecessary travel and reducing wait times.
States and rural providers are adapting to the pandemic. In Kansas and Illinois, fourth year medical students are graduating early to volunteer in rural hospitals. Doctors have learned that by keeping patients with respiratory distress due to COVID-19 prone on their stomachs, their patients breathe better, and may remove the need for breathing assistance. Hospital volunteers are sewing personal protective equipment (PPE) gowns, and have even used FEMA plastic sheeting to help make them. Nurses and home health workers are helping with contact tracing. And some rural providers are beginning to accept recovering COVID-19 patients so they can receive care closer to home.
Nationally, we are conducting over 300,000 tests per day, and rural communities need to be ready to test as states reopen. Through early identification and contact tracing, communities can stop potential outbreaks before they begin. Having mechanisms in place, such as COVID screening protocols for surgical patients and new inpatients, will provide the assurance patients and providers need to resume elective surgeries. Rural providers should also develop plans for conserving PPE, social distancing, face coverings and hygienic practices, and may even consider preparing alternate care sites for handling new cases, and streamlining coordination with nearby ICUs.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, more rural hospitals must find ways to make themselves sustainable for the communities they serve. Now is the time for them to develop new models to meet this challenge for the benefit of their communities long-term—a goal we have been working toward as part of President Trump’s emphasis on rural health care.
We are getting smarter in combating this disease every day, and applying what we are learning is vital as we move forward. We both know, as rural Americans ourselves, that commitment and innovation will save lives and strengthen our rural communities.

Cuomo said he can't predict when the hospitalization and death rate numbers will drop to the necessary threshold required for reopening certain regions because as he put it, "we all failed" at predicting.
"Now, people can speculate. People can guess. I think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month," Cuomo told reporters on Memorial Day.

wnd--2020-05-26--The lockdown, evangelicals and 'delusional' atheists

`` Belief in an afterlife is a malignant delusion , since it devalues actual lives and discourages action that would make them longer , safer , and happier .
Exhibit A : What 's really behind Republicans wanting a swift reopening ?
Evangelicals . ''
Before responding to Pinker 's remarkably ignorant tweet , I want to praise him .
He is one of the few professors in America to call out the left 's destruction of our universities .
Most human beings lack courage , but no group is more cowardly than academics .
This has been true for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to today , professors have almost never taken a position that required courage .
Indeed , one might say that when you send your child to college , your child is taught to be a coward by the cowardly .
`` Universities are becoming laughing stocks of intolerance , with non-leftist speakers drowned out by jeering mobs , professors subjected to Stalinesque investigations for unorthodox opinions , risible guidelines on 'microaggressions ' ( such as saying ' I believe the most qualified person should get the job ' ) , students mobbing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discuss Halloween costumes , and much else .
These incidents have drawn worldwide ridicule , and damage the credibility of university scientists and scholars when they weigh on critical matters , such as climate change . ''
TRENDING : CDC estimates put COVID fatality rate at 0.26 % , over 13 times lower than initial WHO claim It takes courage for a professor to write that our universities are `` laughing stocks of intolerance , '' that they engage in `` Stalinesque investigations '' and draw `` worldwide ridicule . ''
Having praised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his tweet .
First , `` Belief in an afterlife is a malignant delusion … '' I am not a Christian , evangelical or otherwise .
I am a religious Jew who has written and lectured extensively on the afterlife .
My belief in the afterlife is based entirely on a logical argument : If there is a just God , it is axiomatic there is an afterlife .
There is little justice and fairness in this life , so if there is a just God , there has to be an afterlife @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response to this : `` There is no God , so there is no afterlife .
But if there is a God , you are right that there must be an afterlife . ''
So , belief in an afterlife is no more a `` delusion '' than belief in God .
But it takes an unsophisticated arrogance to dismiss belief that the world has a designer and that intelligence must be created by intelligence as a `` delusion . ''

The founders engraved a liberty-affirming verse from the Bible ( Leviticus 25:10 ) in the Liberty Bell .
At the same time , from Lenin to Soros and today 's Democratic Party , liberty has never been a left-wing value .
To Pinker and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plea , `` Give me liberty , or give me death , '' the foundational principle of our republic , must sound truly foolish .
It must have been the product of a malignant delusion .

Harvard professor of psychology Steven Pinker tweeted last week:
"Belief in an afterlife is a malignant delusion, since it devalues actual lives and discourages action that would make them longer, safer, and happier. Exhibit A: What's really behind Republicans wanting a swift reopening? Evangelicals."
Before responding to Pinker's remarkably ignorant tweet, I want to praise him. He is one of the few professors in America to call out the left's destruction of our universities. Most human beings lack courage, but no group is more cowardly than academics. This has been true for 100 years. From the German universities to today, professors have almost never taken a position that required courage. Indeed, one might say that when you send your child to college, your child is taught to be a coward by the cowardly.
Two years ago, Pinker wrote:
"Universities are becoming laughing stocks of intolerance, with non-leftist speakers drowned out by jeering mobs, professors subjected to Stalinesque investigations for unorthodox opinions, risible guidelines on 'microaggressions' (such as saying 'I believe the most qualified person should get the job'), students mobbing and cursing a professor who invited them to discuss Halloween costumes, and much else. These incidents have drawn worldwide ridicule, and damage the credibility of university scientists and scholars when they weigh on critical matters, such as climate change."
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
It takes courage for a professor to write that our universities are "laughing stocks of intolerance," that they engage in "Stalinesque investigations" and draw "worldwide ridicule."
Having praised Pinker, let me now respond to his tweet.
First, "Belief in an afterlife is a malignant delusion …"
I am not a Christian, evangelical or otherwise. I am a religious Jew who has written and lectured extensively on the afterlife. My belief in the afterlife is based entirely on a logical argument: If there is a just God, it is axiomatic there is an afterlife. There is little justice and fairness in this life, so if there is a just God, there has to be an afterlife. There is only one honest atheist response to this: "There is no God, so there is no afterlife. But if there is a God, you are right that there must be an afterlife."
So, belief in an afterlife is no more a "delusion" than belief in God. But it takes an unsophisticated arrogance to dismiss belief that the world has a designer and that intelligence must be created by intelligence as a "delusion." I was disappointed in Pinker, who I respect for his courageous comments and with whom I have dialogued on my radio show. His tweet reveals a truly shallow atheism.
In fact, I would argue that it is atheism that is a "malignant delusion."
Regarding the delusion part, I asked one of America's leading thinkers of the last half-century, the late Charles Krauthammer, a secular agnostic, what he thought of atheism. To my surprise, he responded:
"I believe atheism is the least plausible of all the theologies. It is clearly so contrary to what is possible. The idea that all this universe always existed, created itself? I mean, talk about the violation of human rationality."
And as regards the "malignant" charge, while there are, obviously, good individuals who are atheist, atheism is morally worthless. It makes no moral demands, whereas Judaism and Christianity posit a God who demands people obey, for example, the Ten Commandments. Atheism demands nothing; it only destroys the Judeo-Christian bases of morality in Western civilization, the civilization that gave the world democracy, liberty, women's equality and an end to slavery.
In fact, evangelical Christians are the greatest defenders of Western civilization, while Pinker's atheist colleagues at Harvard and elsewhere are the most active opponents of Western civilization. How does Pinker explain that? Which exactly is the "malignant delusion"?
Finally, evangelical Christians and other religious opponents of the continuing lockdown do not oppose continuation of the irrational, fear-driven, life-destroying lockdown – projected to result in more deaths worldwide and even in parts of America than the coronavirus itself – because of our belief in the afterlife. This is both stupid and a smear. It shows how even a Steven Pinker can be rendered foolish by atheism.
No one who actually knows evangelicals believes they oppose continuation of the lockdown because they value life less than secular proponents of continuing this lockdown.
Do evangelicals love their children and grandchildren less than atheists? Do evangelicals not do everything possible to save lives? There are evangelical hospitals and doctors serving in the poorest countries in the world. Where are the atheist hospitals?
Evangelicals oppose the continuing of the lockdown because they, more than any other large community in America, continue to believe in freedom. Without the evangelical community, we will no longer have liberty. From before the birth of America, liberty has been the cornerstone belief because it was a cornerstone Christian value. The founders engraved a liberty-affirming verse from the Bible (Leviticus 25:10) in the Liberty Bell. At the same time, from Lenin to Soros and today's Democratic Party, liberty has never been a left-wing value.
To Pinker and his colleagues, Patrick Henry's famous plea, "Give me liberty, or give me death," the foundational principle of our republic, must sound truly foolish. It must have been the product of a malignant delusion.

wnd--2020-05-25--Vote by mail? The real problem is 'ballot harvesting'

Why are so many Americans concerned about the vote-by-mail actions in Michigan and California ?
Do you understand what the Democratic governors of those states are doing ?
They have decreed that ballots will be mailed to all registered voters in those states so the their votes can be submitted by mail .
Coronavirus is the governors ' reason .
Here 's one of the problems with that : ballot harvesting .
If people receive unasked-for ballots in the mail , ballot harvesting will occur -- when another person gathers ballots from neighbors or family or others to submit those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 % of registered voters vote , ballot harvesting allows votes to be cast on behalf of people who normally do n't participate in elections .
So how can anyone be sure that the harvester did n't make the selections on the ballot after getting the voter to sign an empty ballot ?
Or that the harvester did n't change some of the selections ?
In the 2018 midterm elections , Democrats turned in thousands of harvested ballots in California , whose impact reportedly helped reverse six California congressional elections that had Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats tried to submit thousands of ballots after the election that were harvested in Detroit ( Wayne County ) for Hillary Clinton .
So many additional ballots were submitted that there were thousands more votes than the number of actual registered votes tallied on the voting machines in some districts .
A federal judge then stopped the ensuing recount .
So what is wrong with mailing ballots to all registered voters as the governors of California and Michigan are attempting to do , where voters who have not requested ballots will receive one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moved , died or not voted in years ?
Ballot harvesting !
Someone else could actually make the selections and then submitting the ballots .
It is easy to spot ballot harvesting when someone shows up with thousands of ballots for submission as was done in Wayne County in 2016 for Clinton .
But the harvesters have gotten smart .
They now mail the completed ballots one at a time as if the voter were mailing them .
How do you spot harvesting then ?
TRENDING : CDC estimates put COVID fatality rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lower than initial WHO claim Voting by mail is not the issue .
The issue is unilaterally mailing ballots to people who did not request the mail-in ballots .
Those people are prey to the harvesters , even if it is just one voter , an elderly person at home or in a nursing home whose ballot is harvested by a family member .
When some other family member takes the ballot of the elderly or ill and then fraudulently votes with it , that is wrong .
It 's dishonest .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballots , therefore , should only be sent to those voters who specifically request them .
By arbitrarily mailing ballots to all Americans , the entire election is ripe for the fraud of ballot harvesting .
It appears that the governors of California and Michigan actually want harvesting for 2020 , like what happened in 2016 in Michigan and 2018 in California .
This year , coronavirus provides the justification for mail-in balloting , ballot harvesting and the attendant fraud .
While Democrats had everyone looking for collusion/conspiracy between Trump and Russians to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happily practicing ballot harvesting to try to negate a national election and to reverse congressional elections .

Why are so many Americans concerned about the vote-by-mail actions in Michigan and California? Do you understand what the Democratic governors of those states are doing? They have decreed that ballots will be mailed to all registered voters in those states so the their votes can be submitted by mail. Coronavirus is the governors' reason.
Here's one of the problems with that: ballot harvesting. If people receive unasked-for ballots in the mail, ballot harvesting will occur -- when another person gathers ballots from neighbors or family or others to submit those ballots for them. Since typically only 50% of registered voters vote, ballot harvesting allows votes to be cast on behalf of people who normally don't participate in elections. So how can anyone be sure that the harvester didn't make the selections on the ballot after getting the voter to sign an empty ballot? Or that the harvester didn't change some of the selections?
In the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats turned in thousands of harvested ballots in California, whose impact reportedly helped reverse six California congressional elections that had Republicans winning. In Michigan in 2016, Democrats tried to submit thousands of ballots after the election that were harvested in Detroit (Wayne County) for Hillary Clinton. So many additional ballots were submitted that there were thousands more votes than the number of actual registered votes tallied on the voting machines in some districts. A federal judge then stopped the ensuing recount.
So what is wrong with mailing ballots to all registered voters as the governors of California and Michigan are attempting to do, where voters who have not requested ballots will receive one, along with some who may have moved, died or not voted in years? Ballot harvesting! Someone else could actually make the selections and then submitting the ballots.
It is easy to spot ballot harvesting when someone shows up with thousands of ballots for submission as was done in Wayne County in 2016 for Clinton. But the harvesters have gotten smart. They now mail the completed ballots one at a time as if the voter were mailing them. How do you spot harvesting then?
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Voting by mail is not the issue. The issue is unilaterally mailing ballots to people who did not request the mail-in ballots. Those people are prey to the harvesters, even if it is just one voter, an elderly person at home or in a nursing home whose ballot is harvested by a family member. When some other family member takes the ballot of the elderly or ill and then fraudulently votes with it, that is wrong. It's dishonest. It negates the process of democracy.
Mail-in ballots, therefore, should only be sent to those voters who specifically request them. By arbitrarily mailing ballots to all Americans, the entire election is ripe for the fraud of ballot harvesting.
It appears that the governors of California and Michigan actually want harvesting for 2020, like what happened in 2016 in Michigan and 2018 in California. This year, coronavirus provides the justification for mail-in balloting, ballot harvesting and the attendant fraud.
While Democrats had everyone looking for collusion/conspiracy between Trump and Russians to affect the 2016 election, Democrats were happily practicing ballot harvesting to try to negate a national election and to reverse congressional elections.

wnd--2020-05-25--Prophecy under the New Covenant: The 'two houses' theme

`` Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry , just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises .
For if that first covenant had been without fault , no place would have been sought for a second .

And I will be their God , and they will be My people .
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother , saying , 'Know the Lord , ' because they will all know Me , from the least of them to the greatest . '
'' Jeremiah is clearly describing Christianity , wherein God indwells those who accept Christ as Savior , Who specifically promised `` when the Spirit of truth comes , He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For He will not speak on His own , but He will speak what He hears , and He will declare to you what is to come '' ( John 16:13 ) .
That was a spiritual quantum leap of incalculable magnitude .
The passage also makes clear that understanding prophecy is about listening to the Holy Spirit for yourself .
The purpose of prophecy under the New Covenant is to prepare the church for the Second Coming of Christ .
We should therefore pay very close attention to how the New Covenant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the instructions of the mediator of the covenant , Jesus Christ , on the subject of prophecy .
That means first , to recognize the centrality of the Two House theme in understanding the phenomenon of Christianity in prophecy – which almost no one with a large prophecy-themed following does – and second , to give far greater weight to Jesus on the timing and landmarks of prophecy than any other prophet .

TRENDING : CDC estimates put COVID fatality rate at 0.26 % , over 13 times lower than initial WHO claim Was the New Covenant primarily for the Gentiles ?
NO .
In fact , Gentiles have to be `` grafted in '' before it will even apply to them ( Romans 11 ) .
Was it for `` the Jews '' ( the biblical nickname for `` Judeans '' as distinct from `` Israelites '' – 2 Kings 16:5-6 ) ?
NO .
It was expressly promised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hebrew sons of Jacob : the House of Leah and the House of Rachel , named ( per patriarchal custom ) for their sons Judah and Joseph ( `` Israel '' per Jeremiah 31:9 ) , respectively .

Some of this will be familiar to those who have heard teachings on the Biblical Feasts which have been gaining popularity over the past decade .
Importantly , in my analysis , the three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ten Days of Awe that begin with Yom Teruah ( the Feast of Trumpets ) on which I believe the resurrection and rapture will occur , and Yom Kippur ( the Day of Atonement ) , in which Christ will return with the Host of Heaven to take physical possession of the earth .

That requires balancing the Old and New Testaments, and I believe the key to that balance is found in Jeremiah's prophecy about the New Covenant. It is cited in Hebrews 8 by way of explaining to the Hebrew people why the New Covenant was superior to the Old Covenant, but it also highlights two critical facts important to the study of prophecy generally.
"Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises. For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second. … 'Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers. … I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

I contend His answer was a point by point chronological summary of end-time events, which is repeated with only slight variation in the Gospels of Mark (Chapter 13) and Luke (Chapter 21) and reiterated by Jesus in an expanded and annotated fashion in the book of Revelation, recorded by the Apostle John.
