Many have sent me reports of hit pieces on Norma McCorvey ( aka Jane Roe ) that call into question the veracity of her conversion and her passion to see Roe v.

Now, it also seems that just a day after Ravi Zacharias’ death, other pieces are surfacing that attempt to denigrate his character and threaten to undo his life’s work because of accusations of his misrepresenting academic credentials and a supposed sexting relationship that has long been disproven.
As I said on a friend’s Facebook thread, these stories are disturbing, but I have serious doubts that they’re true.
I knew Norma. Either she was an incredible actress, or they are making up an incredible story to discredit the entire pro-life movement as they sell their baby parts after organ harvesting.
I don’t believe for a second that this hit piece against her isn’t a part of their well-orchestrated strategy in the global agenda to make sure Roe isn’t overturned and that access to and extent of abortion on demand even past delivery of viable infants be widely accepted and applauded.
I also know and love Rob Schenck, but I must say I have been very disappointed with his hard left turn to universalism, abortion rights, and LGBTQIA+ normalization alongside Rob Bell and David Gushee.
These hit pieces are like the hit pieces pouring out now about Ravi Zacharias.
Like the ones about Billy Graham after his death.
The enemy is at work to destroy the Kingdom and all those who live their lives to advance it.
Ultimately, even if true, which I doubt, but even if it was all true, about them all, do these stories negate all the tremendous work they did for the Kingdom and for millions of people?
Does a mistake or a character flaw, or even a life event out of their control invalidate all they did?
Did Noah’s drunkenness? Did Moses’ anger and murder? Did Abraham’s lies? Did Peter’s duplicity? Did David’s adultery and murder? Did Jonah’s hate and contempt? Did Elijah’s lack of faith? Did Job’s misery? Did Rahab’s harlotry?
Did Brennan Manning’s alcoholism? Did Henri Nouwen’s same-sex attraction?
Does my divorce?
Does your pornography addiction? Does depression, drug abuse or whatever else separate us from God’s love and ability to use us to fulfill his purposes in the world?
No.
Satan wants to destroy and discredit, but God has used and continues to use broken men and women to accomplish his work throughout history — because we are all broken and we all need a Savior.
That is the gospel!
Yet somehow, many — including many of us — stand in judgment to marginalize, invalidate, disqualify and discredit the work of others who are also broken, yet have been faithful enough to sacrifice what we refuse to, while we at the same time allow the enemy to advance his agenda and work through the process of destruction of all things good — including his attempts to destroy the gospel itself.
We mustn’t be part of that destruction.

Since January and February, inmate numbers at some jails have been reduced by more than 50 percent.
The study reveals that counties in Oregon, Arkansas, New Jersey, Washington state, Iowa and Kentucky have cut their inmate populations by more than half in the last few months.
The jail reductions are an apparent attempt to avoid embarrassing outbreaks of the coronavirus in lockup facilities.
The virus thrives in packed close quarters, making places like jails and nursing homes especially vulnerable.
“The typical jail has reduced its population by more than 30%,” according to the initiative. (The median jail reduction is 31 percent).
Not all of this jaw-dropping number is due to releases, either.
The initiative noted that a number of factors contribute to diminishing jail populations: “In some counties, police are issuing citations in lieu of arrests, prosecutors are declining to charge people for ‘low-level offenses,’ courts are reducing the amounts of cash bail, and jail administrators are releasing people detained pretrial or those serving short sentences for ‘nonviolent offenses.'”

It ’ s weird how a drug President Donald Trump is taking at the direction of his doctor is making the left so crazy .

Hitler, despite the fact that he headed up the National German Socialist Workers’ Party, was really a fascist.
I am not at all claiming the extreme left wing of the Democratic party fits this bill. Rather, I maintain that former President Barack Obama, AOC and her confrères are economic fascists.
What is the difference?
From an economic perspective, socialism is the system in which the government owns the major means of production: the mines, the factories, the forests, agricultural land, etc. The former Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea are examples of this system.
But Sens. Sanders and Warren and their ilk are not calling for the nationalization of airplane manufacturers, computer companies, trucking firms and Silicon Valley. No, they only want to control them.
This is precisely the program of economic fascists. The same goes for Barack Obama. Apart from taking partial ownership on behalf of the government of several Detroit automobile producers, his main economic policy was regulation, not nationalization.
Hitler was the paradigm case of an economic fascist.
Here is a very partial list of businesses that remained, formally, in private, not public hands, under his aegis: Allgemeine Elektrizitäts Gesellschaft (AEG); Adlerwerke AG (formerly Heinrich Kleyer AG); Bayerische Motorenwerke AG (BMW); Berger, Bergwerks Industrie AG; Daimler-Benz AG; Friedrich Krupp Ironworks; Gruen & Bulfinger; Henkel & Cie; Heinkel Flugzeugwerke; I.G.Farben; Kessler; Koch & Mayer; Krupp, Messerschmitt AG; Rochling; Siemens; Stuka; Volkswagon; Zuffenhausen.
This leader of the Nazi Party had more than enough political power to nationalize the entire lot of them. Instead, he chose very heavy regulation.
This is economic fascism, not socialism.
Ring any bells in the U.S. context? Has Bernie called for the nationalization of U.S. Steel? Pocahontas for seizing General Motors? AOC for a government takeover of Microsoft? Biden for federal ownership of Boeing?
To ask these questions is to answer them.
To buttress this point, here are some quotes from Adolf Hitler regarding economics:
“In principle, the Government protects the economic interests of the German Volk not by taking the roundabout way through an economic bureaucracy to be organized by the State, but by the utmost promotion of private initiative and a recognition of the rights of property.”
“We National Socialists see in private property a higher degree of human economic development which regulates the administration of rewards in proportion to the differences in achievement, but which in general makes possible and guarantees to all the advantages of a higher standard of living. Bolshevism destroys not only private property but also private initiative and the zest for personal responsibility. In this way it has failed to save millions of men from starvation in Russia, the greatest agrarian state in the world. The results of such a catastrophe in Germany would be inconceivable.”
Of course, Hitler was no free enterpriser. He supported private property rights only as a superficial veneer. There were many “private” companies in the Third Reich, but they were all under the heavy regulatory thumb of the state.
In very sharp contrast indeed, the economic system pursued by the U.S.S.R. had no room for even superficially private enterprise. The farms, all of them, were collectivized and owned by the state. And the same applies to mills, factories, mines, industries of all types and varieties.
The leaders of the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party are (economic) fascists, not socialists.

westernjournal--2020-05-21--Trump Withdraws US from Open Skies Treaty

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. will withdraw from a treaty that permits participating nations to conduct unarmed surveillance flights over one another after Russia allegedly violated its terms on multiple occasions .
The Open Skies Treaty went into effect in 2002 and is signed by 35 nations .
The treaty aims to prevent armed conflicts between nations by promoting transparency about military activities .
The New York Times reported Thursday the U.S. would exit the deal , citing anonymous senior Trump administration officials .
Trump himself would later confirm the news to reporters , though he didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. coming to a new agreement with Russia on the existing treating or signing a new deal altogether .

“ Until they adhere , we will pull out , he added .

” “ I think that ’ s what going to happen is we ’ re going to pull out , and they ’ re going to come back and want to make a deal.
” The treaty requires participating nations to make all of their territories available for surveillance .

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. will withdraw from a treaty that permits participating nations to conduct unarmed surveillance flights over one another after Russia allegedly violated its terms on multiple occasions.
The Open Skies Treaty went into effect in 2002 and is signed by 35 nations.
The treaty aims to prevent armed conflicts between nations by promoting transparency about military activities.
The New York Times reported Thursday the U.S. would exit the deal, citing anonymous senior Trump administration officials.
Trump himself would later confirm the news to reporters, though he didn’t rule out the possibility of the U.S. coming to a new agreement with Russia on the existing treaty or signing a new deal altogether.
“I think we have a very good relationship with Russia, but Russia didn’t adhere to the treaty,” Trump said.
“Until they adhere, we will pull out, he added. “But there’s a very good chance we’ll make a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together.”
“I think that’s what going to happen is we’re going to pull out, and they’re going to come back and want to make a deal.”
The treaty requires participating nations to make all of their territories available for surveillance.
But Russia has excluded certain portions of its territory from being monitored, according to the State Department.
“Russia has refused access to observation flights within a 10-kilometer corridor along its border with the Russian-occupied Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, thereby attempting to advance false Russian claims that these occupied territories are independent states,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement Thursday.
“Russia’s designation of an Open Skies refueling airfield in Crimea, Ukraine, is similarly an attempt to advance its claim of purported annexation of the peninsula, which the United States does not and will never accept,” he said.
“Russia has also illegally placed a restriction on flight distance over Kaliningrad, despite the fact that this enclave has become the location of a significant military build-up that Russian officials have suggested includes short-range nuclear-tipped missiles targeting NATO,” Pompeo added.
“In 2019, Russia unjustifiably denied a shared United States and Canada observation flight over a large Russian military exercise.”
Due to those restrictions, Pompeo said further American participation in the treaty is “untenable.”
Reactions from lawmakers in Washington to the announcement that the U.S. is pulling out of the treaty varied along political lines.
Arkansas GOP Sen. Sen. Tom Cotton, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, criticized the treaty and praised Trump’s decision to withdraw from it.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who also sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, criticized the move.
Shaheen said in a statement that withdrawing from the treaty is a “dangerous and misguided decision” and that it “cripples our ability to conduct aerial surveillance of Russia, while allowing Russian reconnaissance flights over U.S. bases in Europe to continue.”
According to the Arms Control Association, the Open Skies Treaty was first proposed by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1955, but the then-Soviet Union rejected any such proposal, citing concerns about spying.
“President George H.W. Bush revived the idea in May 1989 and negotiations between NATO and the Warsaw Pact started in February 1990,” the ACA’s website reads.
“Russia conducted the first observation flight under the treaty in August 2002, while the United States carried out its first official flight in December 2002.

Politico reported the flight’s path was an apparent “attempt to troll President Donald Trump.”
“I don’t know of any military facilities there,” a Department of Defense official told Politico at the time.
The withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty is expected to formally take place in six months, Pompeo said.
UPDATE, May 26, 2020: This article’s headline has been updated to reflect that the withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty has not formally taken place.

As Joe Biden attempts to stifle and deny the allegation, even working to cover up any evidence of documents that might support his accuser’s story, Mark Kelly, Ann Kirkpatrick, Tom O’Halleran and Kyrsten Sinema owe Arizonans an explanation on their double standard.
Either the Democratic Party takes women’s allegations seriously and will call for a thorough investigation into Tara Reade’s claims, or these four Arizona Democrats are at fault for refusing to hold Biden accountable.
