Fake Jake Tapper Commits Random Act of Journalism, Asks Gretchen Whitmer: ‘Why Do You Believe Biden and Not Kavanaugh?’

Every now and then , even hosts on CNN commit random acts of journalism , as Jake Tapper did on Saturday during an interview with Michigan Gov .
Gretchen Whitmer .
The lockdown-living gov was asked by Tapper why she is going out of her way to believe presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden instead of Tara Reade , who has credibly accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1993 — especially after Whitmer , the party loyalist , went on record defending Christine Blasey Ford ’ s claims against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh .
And to his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s accusations are far more credible than were those of Blasey Ford .
***Get your Patriotic face masks with FREE SHIPPING today*** “ Why do you believe Biden and not Kavanaugh ?
” Tapper queried .
“ We need to give people an opportunity to tell their story , but then we have a duty to vet it , and just because you ’ re a survivor doesn ’ t mean that every claim is equal , ” Whitmer — a self-proclaimed feminist and assault survivor herself — hedged .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make their case and the other side as well , and then to make a judgment that is informed , ” she continued .
“ I have read a lot about this current allegation .
I know Joe Biden , and I ’ ve watched his defense , and there ’ s not a pattern that goes into this .
And I think for these reasons , I ’ m very comfortable that Joe Biden is who he says he is , ” she added , making sure not to put her potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To be sure , Whitmer failed to note that Kavanaugh ’ s career was unblemished prior to the accusations of not just Blasey Ford but two other women as well , none of whom could corroborate their stories and at least one of whom — Julie Swetnick — lied so blatantly she was referred to the Justice Department for prosecution by Sen. Charles Grassley ( R-Iowa ) .
“ I ’ m just sharing I think some of the simmering , you know , anger that we survivors have every time , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from someone else ’ s behavior that we weren ’ t a party to , ” Whitmer continued .
“ What I think is this : We owe it to every woman who has a story , to listen to that story , and then to vet that story , ask the questions and be critical thinkers and then make the judgment based on all of those pieces .
I ’ ve done that in this instance .
And I ’ ll tell you this , I don ’ t believe that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I know , and I do believe Joe .
And I support Joe Biden , ” she continued .
But when the # MeToo movement kicked off during the Kavanaugh hearings , feminist hypocrites like Whitmer weren ’ t just saying “ we need to listen , ” they were insisting that all women who make accusations ( against Kavanaugh ) “ must be believed , ” period .
No vetting necessary .

And never mind that Kavanaugh had been through six prior FBI background checks before his Supreme Court nomination , where he underwent a seventh , without a single sexual allegation nor a blemish on his record .
Now , if the man had been a such a reprobate in his earlier life , it would have come up long before he was seated in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room on his way to the highest court in the land .

Because, they claimed, a woman would never lie about such things (except that they did in Kavanaugh’s case).
And never mind that Kavanaugh had been through six prior FBI background checks before his Supreme Court nomination, where he underwent a seventh, without a single sexual allegation nor a blemish on his record.
Now, if the man had been a such a reprobate in his earlier life, it would have come up long before he was seated in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room on his way to the highest court in the land.
By comparison, Reade’s story has been corroborated several times now, including an additional two people The Associated Press managed to find this week.
But hey, Whitmer says there’s nothing to see here with Biden.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-04--Authoritarian Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Who Needs to Get a Refund on Her Rogue Haircut,

Authoritarian Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Who Needs to Get a Refund on Her Rogue Haircut, on Those Having Fun Amid Unconstitutional Lockdown: ‘We Will Send You to Jail, Period’

As coronavirus-related lockdowns continue around the country , it ’ s becoming clearer and clearer that Democratic leaders especially are becoming far too comfortable with their presumed authority .
On Saturday , the hypocritical mayor threatened citizens with citations and arrests if they did not comply with her stay-at-home orders and instead held get-togethers .
“ I ’ m not playing .
Stay home ( your own home ) .
Save lives , ” she tweeted .
***Get your Patriotic face masks with FREE SHIPPING today*** “ Now I ’ ve directed Superintendent Brown to order all police districts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And this is how it ’ s going to be , ” Lightfoot said .
“ We will shut you down , we will cite you and if we need to , we will arrest you and we will take you to jail .
Period .
There should be nothing unambiguous about that .
“ Don ’ t make us treat you like a criminal , ” Lightfoot continued .
“ But if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and you refuse to do what is necessary to save @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pandemic , we will take you to jail .
Period.
” Lightfoot then crossed the street after her press conference and shoo ’ ed away some youth who were on school property , telling them to “ Go home.
” The nagging prompted one of the youths to respond , “ Y ’ all need to find a cure , you ’ re talking about go home .
You go home.
” Mind you , this is the same mayor who regularly flouts federal immigration laws by protecting illegal immigrants from deportation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illegal alien criminals who rape young children .
As Fox News reported in March , acting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement chief Matthew Albence ripped into Lightfoot for her response to the sexual assault of a three-year-old girl by an illegal alien freed according to the city ’ s sanctuary policies .
“ I think it ’ s the height of hypocrisy , ” Albence told Fox News .
“ I can tell you , I ’ ve been firsthand trying to work with the city of Chicago for the better part of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us so we can get criminals off the streets.
” The city ’ s controversial sanctuary city policies , in which local law enforcement ignore detainer requests from ICE that they be notified when arrested illegal immigrants are released from custody , have come under renewed scrutiny after one of those sprung from custody was arrested last month for allegedly sexually assaulting the 3-year-old in a bathroom .
ICE had lodged a detainer in June against Christopher Puente , who has several felony convictions and a prior removal , after he was arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ request and released him .
“ They 're critical because we have said very clearly we are a welcoming city , a sanctuary city .
Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with ICE on any immigration-related business , ” she said .
“ If ICE is complaining , then they should do their job better.
” Then , in early April , Lightfoot violated her own stay-at-home order to go get a haircut , even though no one else in her city can get one because her order mandates that barbershops and hair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thus , must be closed .
In case you haven ’ t figured it out yet , there are two sets of rules—one for the ruling class and one for the peons .
A couple of weeks ago , we had New York City mayor Bill de Blasio issuing a stay at home order for the serfs in New York , while he decided he was going to go work out at the YMCA .
Now , we have Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot deciding that she needed to get her haircut , stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , she ’ s “ important.
” Her excuse ?
She ’ s the ‘ face of the city ’ and therefore has to ‘ look good.
’ And besides , the stylist wore a mask , so… ***Get your Patriotic face masks with FREE SHIPPING today*** Can ’ t stylists and barbers wear masks cutting other Chicagoans ’ hair too ?
That way they could be open and , you know , earn a living .
Mayor Hypocrite won ’ t allow it .
And if you dare to enjoy yourself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be fined and jailed .
This , despite the fact that , one , Lightfoot doesn ’ t have the constitutional authority to prevent ‘ freedom of assembly ; ’ and two , the coronavirus does not kill with impunity .
Far from it , in fact ; the vast majority of people who get it suffer mildly .
Lori Lightfoot is a tyrant and a hypocrite , the worst combination for a leader .

As coronavirus-related lockdowns continue around the country, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that Democratic leaders especially are becoming far too comfortable with their presumed authority.
That includes Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
On Saturday, the hypocritical mayor threatened citizens with citations and arrests if they did not comply with her stay-at-home orders and instead held get-togethers.
“I’m not playing. Stay home (your own home). Save lives,” she tweeted.

“Now I’ve directed Superintendent Brown to order all police districts to give special attention to these parties. And this is how it’s going to be,” Lightfoot said. “We will shut you down, we will cite you and if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period. There should be nothing unambiguous about that.
“Don’t make us treat you like a criminal,” Lightfoot continued. “But if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and you refuse to do what is necessary to save lives in the city the middle of a pandemic, we will take you to jail. Period.”
Lightfoot then crossed the street after her press conference and shoo’ed away some youth who were on school property, telling them to “Go home.”
The nagging prompted one of the youths to respond, “Y’all need to find a cure, you’re talking about go home. You go home.”

The network added:
The city’s controversial sanctuary city policies, in which local law enforcement ignore detainer requests from ICE that they be notified when arrested illegal immigrants are released from custody, have come under renewed scrutiny after one of those sprung from custody was arrested last month for allegedly sexually assaulting the 3-year-old in a bathroom. ICE had lodged a detainer in June against Christopher Puente, who has several felony convictions and a prior removal, after he was arrested for theft. But Chicago ignored the request and released him.
Incredibly, Lightfoot blamed ICE for her policy.
“They’re critical because we have said very clearly we are a welcoming city, a sanctuary city. Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with ICE on any immigration-related business,” she said. “If ICE is complaining, then they should do their job better.”
Unreal.
Then, in early April, Lightfoot violated her own stay-at-home order to go get a haircut, even though no one else in her city can get one because her order mandates that barbershops and hair salons are ‘non-essential’ and, thus, must be closed.
Law Enforcement Today noted:
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, there are two sets of rules—one for the ruling class and one for the peons. A couple of weeks ago, we had New York City mayor Bill de Blasio issuing a stay at home order for the serfs in New York, while he decided he was going to go work out at the YMCA. Now, we have Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot deciding that she needed to get her haircut, stay at home order be damned. After all, she’s “important.”
Her excuse? She’s the ‘face of the city’ and therefore has to ‘look good.’ And besides, the stylist wore a mask, so…
***Get your Patriotic face masks with FREE SHIPPING today***
Can’t stylists and barbers wear masks cutting other Chicagoans’ hair too? That way they could be open and, you know, earn a living.
But no.
Mayor Hypocrite won’t allow it. And if you dare to enjoy yourself with friends, well, prepare to be fined and jailed.
This, despite the fact that, one, Lightfoot doesn’t have the constitutional authority to prevent ‘freedom of assembly;’ and two, the coronavirus does not kill with impunity. Far from it, in fact; the vast majority of people who get it suffer mildly.
Lori Lightfoot is a tyrant and a hypocrite, the worst combination for a leader.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-04--Enemy of the People: Fake News Media Engaging in Psychological Warfare Against America

A recent article written primarily by a medical doctor in Alabama claimed that , “ The way in which the media has pushed fear nonstop amounts to psychological warfare against this country.
” He added , “ If it hasn ’ t occurred to you that we have heard one story and essentially one story alone for literally two months , well , that should have aroused suspicion.
” Is this doctor correct ?
Or is the media doing its best to be responsible in the midst of an unprecedented crisis ?
I ’ m quite confident that nothing I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is doing for two reasons .
First , who am I that massive media organizations should listen to me ?
Second , fear sells and money talks .
That being said , the question remains : Is the media responsible in its reporting , helping its audience to act wisely during a pandemic ?
Or is the media using fear tactics to get more viewers , listeners , and readers ?
And if the latter is true , does this amount to sustained psychological warfare ?
Obviously , “ the media ” is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good or bad can be said about it .
But if we focus on the major , secular voices on TV , we can fine-tune both our questions and our answers .
One of the secrets of psychological warfare ( called psywar by the military ) is to try to convince enemy troops that surrender is sweet , that it is better to capitulate than to continue to fight , that defeat is inevitable .
In keeping with this , an Air Force colonel shared with me that during World War I , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ troops .
Shortly after the end of the war , Field Marshall Paul von Hindenburg , the Chief of Staff of the Kaiser ’ s Army , complained : “ In the shower of pamphlets which was scattered by enemy airmen our adversaries said and wrote that they did not think so badly of us ; that we must only be reasonable and perhaps here and there renounce something we had conquered .
Then everything would soon be right again and we could live together in peace , perpetual international peace .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new men and new Governments would see to that .
What a blessing peace would be after all the fighting .
There was , therefore , no point in continuing the struggle.
” ( From the USAF Special Operations School : Psychological Operations . )
And what were the results of this strategy ?
Military historian Stanley Sandler writes : “ As German Army discipline wavered or broke , these leaflets became responsible for defections on a large scale .
Not surprisingly , Adolph Hitler termed Allied military psywar ‘ psychologically efficient.
’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pamphlets dropped on us from the sky in order to break our spirits .
But we are hearing a constant flood of bad news .
Of distressing and depressing news .
Of fearful statistics .
And we are reminded daily of the danger of violating the status quo .
Does this mean that all these media outlets are ill-intentioned and motivated only by financial gain ?
Certainly not .
Does this mean that the talking heads all share a nefarious agenda and are under some hidden , central control ?
Not at all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them are trying to do some good ?
Absolutely not .
But it does mean that , for whatever reason , we are basically being told that COVID-19 is the only story out there , that America is a real mess , and that things could get even worse in the days ahead .
Really now , is all of that meant to be helpful ?
Encouraging ?
Useful ?
Or , to approach this from a different angle , ask yourself this : If the goal of the media was to help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way during this difficult time , would their reporting be the same ?
Doing a daily talk radio show , and with lots of interaction with the public on social media , I have been sounding a “ fear not ” message for the last two months .
Yes , the virus is very serious , but it ’ s not the end of the world , and there ’ s no need for panic .
At the same time , I have had to counteract the attitude of fear and panic that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night negative reporting .
( Mix in partisan politics , and you have a real toxic mix . )
And in order to starve our fears and feed our faith and our practical wisdom , we can not sit glued in front of the TV or computer screen .
But this is part of the vicious cycle of 24-hour news networks .
The same stories get repeated endlessly , seriously undermining our ability to think for ourselves .
Are we not getting brainwashed by it all ?
But there ’ s another angle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the angle of control .
Dennis Prager recently wrote that “ the ease with which police state tactics have been employed and the equal ease with which most Americans have accepted them have been breathtaking.
” Could this have happened without the media ’ s incessant , fear-producing drumbeat ?
Prager pointed to four principles signs of a police state , one of which was , “ A Mass Media Supportive of the State ’ s Messaging and Deprivation of Rights.
” He explained , “ The New York Times , CNN and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fox News , The Wall Street Journal ( editorial and opinion pages only ) and talk radio — have served the cause of state control over individual Americans ’ lives just as Pravda served the Soviet government .
In fact , there is almost no more dissent in The New York Times than there was in Pravda .
And the Big Tech platforms are removing posts about the virus and potential treatments they deem ‘ misinformation.
’ ” Recently , YouTube removed a viral video by two medical doctors in California who disputed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ According to YouTube , “ We quickly remove flagged content that violate our Community Guidelines , including content that explicitly disputes the efficacy of local healthy authority recommended guidance on social distancing that may lead others to act against that guidance.

Does this concern you ?
What might be banned next ?
Can you not assess the information for yourself and make an informed choice ?
A colleague with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t share more details at this moment ) had a viral post removed because a so-called fact checker deemed it false .
Yet the content was entirely spiritual in nature .
So , not only do we have the 24-hour droning drumbeat of fear-based , often sensationalistic reporting , but we have a dangerous form of censorship as well .
Does that constitute a form of psychological warfare ?
You can decide for yourself .

Is the media engaging in psychological warfare against America?

“ He announced this week he ’ s sending New Jersey half a million new tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that your good , personal relationship with the president has made a difference in terms of what New Jersey has gotten ?
” Murphy notes that he and Trump have found “ common ground.
” “ Let there be no doubt about it , ” he said .
“ The president knows New Jersey .

President Donald Trump doesn’t get much praise at all from Democrats and that includes many Democrat governors during the coronavirus pandemic.
But he has gotten credit for having done what he could for states as they began to deal with growing numbers of COVID-19 patients especially those particularly hard-hit, like New Jersey.
In an interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Gov. Phil Murphy said the president and his team “have been there for us” when New Jersey needed them, bringing in vital supplies and other assistance to help mitigate the disease.
Following an Oval Office meeting with the president that went well and that Murphy complimented, Wallace asked if the “good relationship” with Trump “has made a difference in terms of what New Jersey has gotten.”
“You met with President Trump this week and I think it’s fair to say that you’re getting along better with the president than almost any other Democratic governor,” Wallace said.

Prominent pastor David Jeremiah has revealed that amid the COVID-19 pandemic , his ministry has reached an unprecedented number of people with the message of the Gospel , indicating an “ online revival ” may be taking place .

Jeremiah , senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon , California , and host of the radio program `` Turning Point , ” told The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began , viewership of his online services has dramatically skyrocketed .
“ The church is alive and well and maybe more responsive now that I can ever remember except for the possible exception of 9/11 , ” he said .
“ What we 've learned from all of this is God does n't need a building for there to be a church.
” The founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries revealed that on Easter Sunday , a staggering 90,000 people tuned into his online worship service .
“ I 'm preaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have ever preached to my life , ” he said , adding that after the service , he gave viewers the opportunity to receive Christ .
“ I said , ‘ If you pray this prayer and invite Christ into your life , He will come to live within you , ’ and I actually led them in a prayer , ” the pastor recalled .
“ Then I said , ‘ If you prayed with me , there ’ s a little place on the screen you can click on where we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you get started on your walk with Christ.
” According to Jeremiah , over 600 people clicked on that button .
“ I ’ ve been doing this for over 50 years ; I ’ m all over media , and I 've never had anything like that happen , ever , ” he emphasized .
“ Would I rather have the 12 or 15,000 people that we have on Easter sitting in the church with our choir and orchestra and the Easter lilies and everybody cheering and praising ?
Yeah , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a new and different thing that God is doing .
It 's unprecedented.
” Similarly , the pastor revealed that a recent sermon he delivered in which he addressed whether COVID-19 is mentioned in biblical prophecy received over 1 million views on YouTube .
“ We 've never had anything on YouTube get that kind of traction , ’ ” he said .
“ When everything in which we have trusted is taken away and we are left with ourselves , we have to ask the hard questions .
‘ If this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now ?
’ There ’ s a renewed interest in the Gospel and a desire to know what the Bible has to say.
” “ Is this the beginning of a revival ?
This may not be a revival in the truest sense of the Great Awakening , but I believe we are seeing an online revival.
” While the pandemic is “ frightening ” and “ frustrating ” for many people , Jeremiah stressed that God is clearly in the midst of it all , adding : “ He is with us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to be in a crowd to have God .
You just need a quiet moment.
” The pastor released his latest book , Shelter in God : Your Refuge in Times of Trouble .
In it , he shares how the book of Psalms can aid those struggling to find meaning during the coronavirus pandemic .
“ Everybody is currently sheltering in place and that ’ s one thing that might help you physically , but if you want to get help spiritually , you must shelter in God .
He 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are ripping people apart during the coronavirus epidemic , ” Jeremiah told CP .
In the 10-chapter book , Jeremiah focuses largely on the “ sheltering Psalms , ” which he revealed were particularly meaningful to him as he battled cancer two decades ago .
“ These Psalms speak of God being our refuge and the one in whom we shelter when we 're going through storms or when the storms are passing by , ” he said .
“ We grabbed hold of those Psalms and put them together in about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people during this time.
” In addition to the Psalms , the Bible is full of comfort for times of trouble , Jeremiah said , referencing Philippians 4:7 : `` And the peace of God , which surpasses all understanding , will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
” “ If you do n't know Christ , you can ’ t understand this peace ; it 's beyond explanation , ” he said .
“ But if you 're a Christian and you 've ever been through anything that rips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's all about .
I do n't know how to explain it , but I do know that God draws near to us in our times of suffering and disaster .
“ I know that during the coronavirus , God has drawn near to many people .
We 've had unbelievable numbers of people die during this time , and yet at the same time , we 've seen so many people healed from it .
Even as we speak right now , one of my dear friends is trying to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's just really awful to watch it .
And yet , it 's also wonderful to see how God is wrapping His arms around him during this time.
” According to Jeremiah , God may be using COVID-19 to remind people of their reliance on Him .
“ We are a great country , there 's no question about it .
We have the greatest economy in the history of the world .
We are a nation of self-made people , according to them .
If we ’ re not careful , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ master of our own souls , in charge of our own fate , '' he said .
God “ sometimes just reaches down to remind us , ‘ You think you 've got this thing under control , but I can take a germ you can ’ t even see and bring [ you ] to your knees , ’ ” he added .
He also addressed some of the relational struggles families may be facing during the shutdown , acknowledging that many marriages “ can be pushed to the limit when you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somebody . ''
`` During this time , we need to learn to serve one another well , which I believe is a biblical mandate for marriage , ” he said .
“ When you 're serving one another , it takes the focus off of yourself .
We can all expect there to be some bumps ; we just need to have the strength spiritually to get over them and know that God has n't forgotten us .
He 's with us.
” The pastor encouraged couples to find “ structure ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ idleness is the enemy ’ s great entry point.
” “ You ca n't get up and just live in your pajamas all day .
You have to ask God to help you get on a schedule , ” he said .
“ What are some things you need to do ?
What are some things you can do while you 're at home ?
And structure those things and get a schedule for them , because if you do n't , that 's where the enemy can get into your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a virus way worse than the coronavirus ” — the virus of sin , he pointed out .
The pandemic has burned into his heart the need for spiritual revival across the world .
“ The only cure for that is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in His death on the cross , ” he said .
“ If you don ’ t have Christ , how do you get through situations like this ?
We can get so caught up in doing church and our small groups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put the church here was so that it might be the means whereby men and women can come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior .
“ I really feel a strong rebirth in my spirit of the purpose and importance of evangelism and not being so satisfied with what we have that we fail to share our hope with others .
My prayer is that the virus will push the world to know of its incredible need for the Lord Jesus Christ .

David Jeremiah reveals 'unprecedented' online revival happening amid COVID-19
Prominent pastor David Jeremiah has revealed that amid the COVID-19 pandemic, his ministry has reached an unprecedented number of people with the message of the Gospel, indicating an “online revival” may be taking place.
Due to government-issued social distancing orders enacted to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, many churches have been livestreaming their services online as large physical gatherings are temporarily halted.
Jeremiah, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California, and host of the radio program "Turning Point,” told The Christian Post that ever since the shutdown began, viewership of his online services has dramatically skyrocketed.
“The church is alive and well and maybe more responsive now that I can ever remember except for the possible exception of 9/11,” he said. “What we've learned from all of this is God doesn't need a building for there to be a church.”
The founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries revealed that on Easter Sunday, a staggering 90,000 people tuned into his online worship service.
“I'm preaching right now to more people than I have ever preached to my life,” he said, adding that after the service, he gave viewers the opportunity to receive Christ.
“I said, ‘If you pray this prayer and invite Christ into your life, He will come to live within you,’ and I actually led them in a prayer,” the pastor recalled. “Then I said, ‘If you prayed with me, there’s a little place on the screen you can click on where we will send you more information to help you get started on your walk with Christ.”
According to Jeremiah, over 600 people clicked on that button.
“I’ve been doing this for over 50 years; I’m all over media, and I've never had anything like that happen, ever,” he emphasized. “Would I rather have the 12 or 15,000 people that we have on Easter sitting in the church with our choir and orchestra and the Easter lilies and everybody cheering and praising?

While the pandemic is “frightening” and “frustrating” for many people, Jeremiah stressed that God is clearly in the midst of it all, adding: “He is with us wherever we are. You don't have to be in a crowd to have God. You just need a quiet moment.”
The pastor released his latest book, Shelter in God: Your Refuge in Times of Trouble. In it, he shares how the book of Psalms can aid those struggling to find meaning during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Everybody is currently sheltering in place and that’s one thing that might help you physically, but if you want to get help spiritually, you must shelter in God. He's the only answer for the many things that are ripping people apart during the coronavirus epidemic,” Jeremiah told CP.
In the 10-chapter book, Jeremiah focuses largely on the “sheltering Psalms,” which he revealed were particularly meaningful to him as he battled cancer two decades ago.
“These Psalms speak of God being our refuge and the one in whom we shelter when we're going through storms or when the storms are passing by,” he said. “We grabbed hold of those Psalms and put them together in about two weeks to help bring comfort to people during this time.”
In addition to the Psalms, the Bible is full of comfort for times of trouble, Jeremiah said, referencing Philippians 4:7: "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“If you don't know Christ, you can’t understand this peace; it's beyond explanation,” he said. “But if you're a Christian and you've ever been through anything that rips at your soul, you know what that's all about. I don't know how to explain it, but I do know that God draws near to us in our times of suffering and disaster.
“I know that during the coronavirus, God has drawn near to many people. We've had unbelievable numbers of people die during this time, and yet at the same time, we've seen so many people healed from it. Even as we speak right now, one of my dear friends is trying to get this out of his system and it's just really awful to watch it. And yet, it's also wonderful to see how God is wrapping His arms around him during this time.”
According to Jeremiah, God may be using COVID-19 to remind people of their reliance on Him.
“We are a great country, there's no question about it. We have the greatest economy in the history of the world. We are a nation of self-made people, according to them. If we’re not careful, we can begin to think we are the master of our own souls, in charge of our own fate," he said.
God “sometimes just reaches down to remind us, ‘You think you've got this thing under control, but I can take a germ you can’t even see and bring [you] to your knees,’” he added.
He also addressed some of the relational struggles families may be facing during the shutdown, acknowledging that many marriages “can be pushed to the limit when you're stuck in the same room with somebody."
"During this time, we need to learn to serve one another well, which I believe is a biblical mandate for marriage,” he said. “When you're serving one another, it takes the focus off of yourself. We can all expect there to be some bumps; we just need to have the strength spiritually to get over them and know that God hasn't forgotten us. He's with us.”
The pastor encouraged couples to find “structure” during this time of quarantine, warning that “idleness is the enemy’s great entry point.”
“You can't get up and just live in your pajamas all day. You have to ask God to help you get on a schedule,” he said. “What are some things you need to do? What are some things you can do while you're at home? And structure those things and get a schedule for them, because if you don't, that's where the enemy can get into your heart.”
Every human was “born with a virus way worse than the coronavirus” — the virus of sin, he pointed out. The pandemic has burned into his heart the need for spiritual revival across the world.
“The only cure for that is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in His death on the cross,” he said. “If you don’t have Christ, how do you get through situations like this? We can get so caught up in doing church and our small groups that we forget that the reason God put the church here was so that it might be the means whereby men and women can come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
“I really feel a strong rebirth in my spirit of the purpose and importance of evangelism and not being so satisfied with what we have that we fail to share our hope with others. My prayer is that the virus will push the world to know of its incredible need for the Lord Jesus Christ.”


thelibertydaily--2020-05-04--David Icke, Love Him or Hate Him, Should Not Be Censored

Conspiracy theorist David Icke has been silenced .
His primary platforms for promoting his ideas—YouTube and Facebook—banned him and deleted all of his content .
He has been zeroed out as far as these sites and their users are concerned .
The reason for finally ghosting him completely : so-called “ COVID-19 misinformation.
” For transparency , I ’ ve never been a fan of David Icke .
I ’ m less concerned about his conspiracy theories as much as his adherence to a new age philosophy that runs contrary to the Bible and promotes concepts that can be dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spiritual fortitude to see through his falsehoods .
Many of his conspiracy theories are actually quite compelling , but the vast majority of them play on a populace ready and willing to see inter-dimensional lizard people in every corner of government .
His claims of channeling spiritual energy as a self-comparison to Jesus Christ didn ’ t help my perception of him , either .
But here ’ s the thing .
YouTube and Facebook are considered platforms .
They are given certain protections from government that prevent them from getting sued for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic requirement to receive such protections is adherence to unbiased and nearly absolute allowance of free speech .
In other words , they ’ re not supposed to be able to stifle anyone who isn ’ t breaking the law .
The loophole they and pretty much every other major social media platform have used over the years is their terms of service .
Because users agree to these terms , including the constant changes that are made that invariably adhere to a social justice mentality , the platforms are given wide powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms .
So far , nobody has seriously challenged whether the suspension and banning protocols within their terms of service are allowable under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act .
A handful of politicians have inquired , but nothing has been turned into action .
Today , the coronavirus is being used as a weapon .
No , I don ’ t mean the Chinese Communist Party manufactured and unleashed the disease to test a 5G killing machine ( I think that ’ s what Icke has been saying lately ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a censorship tool through which these platforms can rid themselves of undesirables who have toed the line for a while , including Icke .
They have the righteous indignation associated with coronavirus conspiracy theorists “ literally killing people ” by promoting dangerous ideas that could cause people to spread the virus further .
This is a continuation of a dangerous precedent that Big Tech has been setting for the last few years .
They hide behind their protections while quashing voices that run contrary to their accepted doctrine .
What makes it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invariably falls along political , cultural , and religious lines .
Ideas that generally adhere to a conservative worldview are unacceptable while similar but opposite views from a progressive worldview are embraced on these platforms .
Examples : • Those calling for draconian gun restrictions and confiscations that would put millions of Americans at risk have no fear of Big Tech , but gun rights activists are forced to be careful what they promote out of fear of censorship or content suppression .
• Abortion activists can post the most heinous content calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their abortions , but pro-life activists can post the exact same content and get suspended or banned simply for saying the practice is wrong .
• Advocates of “ accepted ” religions such as Islam or atheism are free to post just about anything .
Literally .
Meanwhile , those who adhere to a Judeo-Christian worldview are often in constant battles against censorship which often comes in the form of “ ghost-banning ” ; their content is suppressed and they often don ’ t even know it .
David Icke ’ s content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generally support his contrarian nature .
But it was not illegal .
He didn ’ t promote human trafficking or call for armed revolt .
He did not “ dox ” people or post content of an inherently dangerous nature .
He is controversial and many of his perspectives were off-the-wall , but the platforms that banned him allow controversial , off-the-wall content all the time .
The difference is Icke ’ s perspectives struck a nerve with the current narrative of absolute fear towards the coronavirus .
For that reason , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all types have been taught an unfortunate lesson .
If you say the wrong things about the coronavirus , you will be quashed .
While most will not think this affects them since they ’ re not telling people the Archons are spreading COVID-19 across the globe , the reality is anyone who has ideas that are contrary to the accepted narrative should be concerned .
Today , it ’ s the coronavirus .
Tomorrow , it could be the 2nd Amendment .
After that , it could be anything that promotes self-dependence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our rights that a future tech tyrant deems to be unacceptable .
I don ’ t agree with most of what David Icke has peddled over the years , but suppressing his conspiracy theories about the coronavirus is more dangerous than the theories themselves .

Sorry , Gavin Newsom ... try valiantly as you have , but it seems there 's no way you can stop people from flocking to the Pacific to catch a glimpse of those bioluminescent waves ... beach closures be damned !

Check out the scene this weekend at Toes Beach in the L.A. neighborhood , Playa del Rey ... there 's a caravan of cars stretching around the block and large groups of people descending on the sand ... all just to see the glowing blue ocean .
It 's pretty insane actually ... people were waiting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a parking spot , hop out and trudge over the dunes to see the neon action caused by an annual algae bloom .
As you know ... L.A. County beaches remain closed due to the raging pandemic , but people are having a hard time staying away and following orders because of the beautiful show put on each night by Ma Nature .
The beach was crammed with hundreds of people , and while most were social distancing , some were mowing over the caution tape set up to keep people off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families , couples , photographers and the like ... and the crowds were reminiscent of July 4 , only instead of fireworks in the nearby marina , people wan na see the bioluminescence .
Cali 's also under a shelter-in-place order ... so no one 's gon na classify this as an `` essential '' trip out of the house .
Sure , neon waves are amazing , but it seems slightly less pressing than say ... finding toilet paper or getting food .

He has been putting in the hard yards with MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro.
It comes after the iconic puncher announced he will make a ring return - 15 years after retiring - to compete in exhibition bouts.
And the latest rumour is that he could have a trilogy fight against fierce old rival Evander Holyfield.

"I saw a guy with the same speed, same power as guys 21, 22 years old.
"Like I said before, 53-years-old but when he puts his mind to it, his body inside the ring - he changes."
Tyson has been training with Cordeiro for three weeks in a row, working on his cardio, pads, and bag work.
The trainer believes the heavyweight needs just six months before he can fight again, as he added: "It's not a joke.
"I believe Mike fought against himself for a long, long time. He's proud to be the Mike Tyson he is today.
"What I can tell you is that if he wants to do something in the future, we'll be ready to do that, 100 per cent."
After Tyson won the title in record breaking time, his destructive run came to an end in 1990 as James 'Buster' Douglas scored a famous upset, knocking out Iron Mike in Tokyo, Japan.
Tyson went on to spend three years in prison after being convicted of rape in 1992, before returning to the ring in 1995.
Evander Holyfield confirms Mike Tyson talks over trilogy fight and reveals they are close to deal
He won the WBC and WBA titles in 1996 but in the same year lost to Holyfield and infamously bit his ear off in their rematch a year later.
The knockout artist, who also lost to Lennox Lewis, retired in 2005 after losing to Kevin McBride and left the sport with a record of 50–6 and battling drug addiction and depression.
But having turned his life around in recent years, the retired boxer started his charity Mike Tyson Cares Foundation and runs his popular Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast after opening up a cannabis farm.

He remains one of the most celebrated heavyweights of all time - but recently announced plans to lace up the gloves again in order to raise money for charity.
He said on Instagram: “I've been working out, I've been trying to get in the ring, I think I'm going to box some exhibitions and get in shape.
"I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.”

thelibertydaily--2020-05-05--The Failed Experiment of “Social Distancing”

The history of science , sadly , is littered with bad experiments gone horribly wrong .
The Great Social Distancing Experiment of 2020 , when it is over , will very likely be toward the top of that list .
After a two-month trial , researchers are collecting early outcomes of the Great American Social Distancing Experiment of 2020 .
The results , to say the least , ain ’ t pretty—and the “ experts ” who initiated this experiment on 330 million well-meaning but unwitting test subjects are starting to admit failure .
“ Wait .
An experiment ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been assured by the credentialed class that keeping a distance of six feet between healthy people for weeks on end was the only tried-and-true way to prevent the deadly spread of the novel coronavirus .
No way would the government shutter public schools and colleges for five months , bankrupt small businesses , send tens of millions to the unemployment line , jeopardize the nation ’ s food supply chain , prevent children from comforting dying parents and grandparents , and subject their fellow countrymen to soul-crushing house arrest for the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ social distancing ” guidance hadn ’ t been carefully vetted over time , you might insist .
Certainly every variable and every side effect of social distancing has been factored into this economy-crashing “ mitigation ” strategy , right ?
Unfortunately , and maddeningly , the answer is no .
Dr. Scott Gottlieb , former head of the Food and Drug Administration and a lead booster of social distancing , admitted Sunday that the draconian measures aren ’ t working as the experts promised .
“ The concerning thing here is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this may be a persistent spread , ” Gottlieb said on CBS News ’ “ Face the Nation , ” further noting 20,000 to 30,000 new reported cases per day despite intense lockdown orders in most states .
“ While mitigation didn ’ t fail , I think it ’ s fair to say that it didn ’ t work as well as we expected , ” he said .
“ We expected that we would start seeing more significant declines in new cases and deaths around the nation at this point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeing that.
” In fact , Gottlieb pointed to rising daily COVID-19 cases in 20 states , including heavily locked-down states such as Virginia and Maryland .
But this seems to defy the “ science ” that governors and lawmakers repeatedly pledge to follow in order to keep people safe from the virus .
After all , Virginia Governor Ralph Northam issued his first social distancing order on March 17 to “ stop the spread of the virus in the Commonwealth , ” as he promised .
A few weeks later , Northam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Larry Hogan and Washington , D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to announce a collective shelter-in-place decree after residents failed to obey their original commands .
“ What we ’ re seeing now is the result of how people interacted two or three weeks ago , ” Northam scolded on March 30 .
“ What we will see a few weeks from now will be determined by how people behave today and in the following days.
” But five weeks later , the area is reporting a record number of COVID-19 cases .
Yes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too—but considering the harsh stay-at-home orders , how and why are people still getting infected ?
It turns out , as I wrote last month , “ social distancing ” is untested pseudoscience particularly as it relates to halting the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus .
On its website , the CDC provides no links to any peer-reviewed social distancing studies that bolster its official guidance .
Both the CDC and the World Health Organization confess uncertainty as to how COVID-19 is spread , further raising doubts about the long term success @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that respiratory droplets sustained in the air can infect healthy people , but WHO admits it is “ assessing ongoing research on the ways that COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share updated findings.
” Scientists are also unsure about surface-to-human transmission .
That ’ s hardly the sort of settled science that justifies the abrupt and costly disruption to the American way of life wrought by social distancing .
The alarming reality is that social distancing never has been tested on a massive scale in the modern age ; its current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s administration and met with much-deserved skepticism .
“ People could not believe that the strategy would be effective or even feasible , ” one scientist told the New York Times last month .
A high school science project—no , I am not joking—added more weight to the concept .
After a five-year review by the Obama Administration , according to the Times , current mitigation strategies to contain a “ novel ” influenza outbreak in the United States were codified in an April 2017 CDC report .
( Yes , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s first CDC director wasn ’ t appointed until July 2017 , which means Obama holdovers were still in charge of the agency at the time . )
The dubious social distancing approach has its critics .
A group of scientists in 2006 doubted the effectiveness of school closures , travel restrictions , cancellation of large gatherings , the use of face masks , and individual social distancing to contain flu-like viruses .
“ It has been recommended that individuals maintain a distance of 3 feet or more during a pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contacts with people who may be infected .
The efficacy of this measure is unknown , ” the researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center concluded .
They further stated that such restrictions would be unworkable in most work environments and public transportations systems .
But two of the authors , like so many have done in the Trump era , changed their tune .
Drs .
Thomas Inglesby and Jennifer Nuzzo now are outspoken advocates of continued social distancing .
“ Staying six feet apart , wearing masks when in public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the extent we are able to do that over the next couple of months will dictate how we do as states and as a country , ” Inglesby told Chuck Todd on Sunday , in direct contradiction of what he wrote 14 years ago .
Nuzzo also defends social distancing rules for the foreseeable future .
“ You can not go to a pre-COVID-19 state .
The virus is still out there , and people will still die , ” she warned last month .
The country , we now know , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never consented : Further , it is as much a political and social experiment as a public health one .
The short term results are not what the experts predicted but their lab rats—the American people—are suffering traumatic side effects that could last for years .
And unfortunately , like most experts , instead of conceding they had it all wrong and walking away from the failed experiment , they insist they just need a little more time to make it work .
But this experiment needs to end , immediately .
Cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospitals are not overwhelmed , nor were they ever ( with a few exceptions ) .
The overall death count is inflated ; it appears that COVID-19 is asymptomatic for most people and far less lethal than originally predicted .
And the economy is in tatters with more bad news on the horizon .

Mayor Muriel Bowser to announce a collective shelter-in-place decree after residents failed to obey their original commands.

(Inglesby and Nuzzo, both now at Johns Hopkins, the entity tracking reported COVID-19 cases and fatalities around the world, refused numerous requests by American Greatness to explain their change of heart.)
The country, we now know, is undergoing an experiment to which we never consented: Further, it is as much a political and social experiment as a public health one. The short term results are not what the experts predicted but their lab rats—the American people—are suffering traumatic side effects that could last for years. And unfortunately, like most experts, instead of conceding they had it all wrong and walking away from the failed experiment, they insist they just need a little more time to make it work.

For example, since the Speaker of the House is not Jesus, her lack of concern for the plight of ordinary citizens who are not worth $200 million and can’t afford elaborate walls, gates, and private security agents to protect them from the criminals that her legislation causes to be released. Or for that matter, the illegal aliens she invites into the country without being vetted to see if they are sex traffickers, drug dealers, violent criminals, rapists, or carriers of infectious diseases.
These observations are not offered as an exercise in pop psychology. They are just obvious patterns of behavior for Nancy Pelosi and the party she leads, an attempt to understand how and why Democrats have divided this country into warring camps. Over the last twenty years, “Identity Politics,” which is better understood as “Cultural Marxism,” has become the ideological religion of the Democrat Party. Such absurdities as “believe all women,” and distrust “old white men” are tropes of the Democrats’ new world order. How do adults actually swallow such racist and sexist piffle?

Blaming others – demonizing others – is the socialist way, and the prime reason the Democrats have become a party of hate. The designated guilty are rich white men and the western democracies they have been most prominent in creating.
This perverse religion has been exposed in an extraordinary way by the current global pandemic. The Chinese Communist Party’s gross malfeasance in handling this virus led to the deaths of more than a quarter of a million innocent people to date. As collectivist Marxists who see themselves as saving the world, the Chinese Communists have no hesitation in blaming others, in particular the United States – the Great Satan in radical religions. The Democrat Party, led by Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, has leapt to their defense condemning President Trump’s use of the term “Chinese virus” as “racist.”
Consider the spread of the virus in America itself. Eight of the nine states with the most cases, and eight of the eight with the most deaths are run by collectivist Democrats who condemned Trump’s ban on travel from China as racist and have created a network of “sanctuary” cities and states to defy the nation’s immigration laws and invite people into the country who have not been vetted for infectious diseases. The very concept of sanctuary is religious in nature and one can be sure makes Pelosi and her political allies feel like Jesus. But they are not divinities, and their policies are deadly.
