“We haven’t always seen (eye emoji) to (eye emoji) but I’m proud of my dad n bro for coming up with this! Head to @nothingbutUSA store for the vibes,” she posted. In normal times, such a benign post would barely get a mention.

Most of us feel threatened by those people, so that’s why you need to stop [spreading] the ‘love your conservative parents’ propaganda.” The mainstream media and Democrats have been effective in framing an anti-Trump narrative that kills any discussion. Here it goes: President Trump is a homophobic racist and if you can support him, then you must be racist, too.

The DoD’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force issued the two classified intelligence ‘position reports’ in 2018 and the summer of this year, and they circulated widely in the U.S. intelligence community, according to a detailed account from The Debrief based on interviews with multiple intelligence sources. The position reports’ startling contents included a leaked photo that has never before been made public, accounts of ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ (UAP) emerging from the ocean and soaring through the sky, and an admission that extraterrestrial origins for the objects cannot be ruled out.

( Newsweek ) – Current COVID-19 hospitalizations in the U.S. have surpassed 100,000 .
The number of people in the hospital blew past the previous record level of 60,000 in early November and has been rising ever since .
Speaking to Newsweek , Dr. Anthony Fauci warned : “ January is going to be terrible , ” with the outbreak expected to reach its worst level yet .
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) and member of the White House COVID-19 task force explained : “ I think January is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have the Thanksgiving surge super-imposed upon the Christmas surge .
So it ’ s entirely conceivable that January could be the worst.
” “ At least two to 2.5 weeks , maybe even three , between two and three weeks from when the travel [ for Thanksgiving ] started , that ’ s when you ’ re going to see the peaks , ” Fauci noted .
When asked if he anticipates the post-Thanksgiving tallies for cases , deaths , and hospitalizations being bad , Fauci told Newsweek : “ Unfortunately I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it ’ s the truth and the reality .
I do see that happening.
” Fauci told Newsweek : “ The reporting is not accurate for the next few days following a holiday .
So what you see is an artificial dip in everything—in cases , in deaths .

( OPINION ) David Jeremiah – This is one of the biggest misconceptions I hear about prophecy .
The Rapture and the Second Coming are often confused , but they are two distinct events on God ’ s prophecy timeline .
First , the Rapture is when Christ comes back and takes every Christian that is still on this earth and resurrects all of those who have died and takes them to heaven with Him .
Paul is talking about the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 where he writes : “ For the Lord , Himself will descend from heaven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an archangel , and with the trumpet of God .
And the dead in Christ will rise first .
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air .
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
” The Rapture is God ’ s protection of His saints from the Tribulation—the seven years of judgment that will then be poured out on earth .
There are some who argue the Tribulation period will begin before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus ” ( Romans 8:1 ) , and I believe the Church will not experience the judgment that God has planned for that time .
