( NY Times ) – There ’ s another deadly virus outbreak in the U.S. , but this one is killing thousands of wild rabbits .
It started in New Mexico in March and has since spread to Texas , Arizona , Colorado , Nevada , California , and Mexico .
It poses a fatal threat to pets as well as wild animals .
The illness is caused by Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus type 2 and does not affect humans or other animals , only rabbits , hares , and perhaps pikas , a rabbit-like animal , according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a coronavirus .
This is the first outbreak of the virus in wild rabbits in North America , but there have been other , smaller outbreaks among domestic rabbits in Ohio , Washington , and New York , and in feral rabbits in Canada — pets that have escaped or been released and continue to breed .
The pet and feral animals are descendants of European rabbits , not native to North America .
Ralph Zimmerman , the state veterinarian in New Mexico , where the new outbreak started , said its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added , imported domestic rabbits are one possibility ; the disease was first identified in France in 2010 and spread throughout Europe and later Australia , where it swept the continent in about a year and a half .
An outbreak at a New York veterinary clinic in March of this year killed 11 pet rabbits .

(C/NET) Barry. Dorian. Humberto. Lorenzo. Last year’s Atlantic hurricane season was devastating. The bad news is stronger hurricanes are part of an ongoing trend.
Hurricanes are getting windier. That’s the sobering conclusion of a study led by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist James Kossin at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The paper appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal on Monday.
The study looked at satellite data from 1979 to 2017 and found that the maximum sustained winds of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons) have gotten stronger over time. “Through modeling and our understanding of atmospheric physics, the study agrees with what we would expect to see in a warming climate like ours,” Kossin said in a release from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The data points to an increased probability of tropical cyclones becoming major storms that reach categories 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale. For example, Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas in late 2019 as a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of at least 157 mph (252 km/h).
The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, and NOAA will reveal its initial outlook for the season later this week. Last year, NOAA forecast a near-normal season, but the definition of normal seems to be changing, and “normal” can still be deadly. READ MORE

endtimeheadlines--2020-05-20--Pastor claims first trumpet from the Book of Revelation is about to be blown

( OPINION ) ETH – A pastor is sounding the alarm that the first trumpet from the Book of Revelation is about to be sounded and we are currently witnessing the silence before the storm according to a recent piece from the Express .
The Book of Revelation is the final book of the Bible and the New Testament .
In the book seven trumpets are sounded , one at a time , that unleash apocalyptic events witnessed and spoken of by John of Patmos in his vision .
According to Revelation chapter eight , the angels of the Lord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Seventh Seal , which secured the scroll of the apocalypse , marking the Second Coming of Christ .
With the devastating and destructive events occurring around the world , including the coronavirus and locust plague on the African continent and in the Mideast , some have theorized that these events could actually be the Four Horsemen from Revelation Chapter 6 – sent to cause famine and plague – coming to fruition before our eyes .
However , Pastor John Barnett is claiming that we are now living in what he has dubbed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which will see the first trumpet of Revelation 8 sounded in the near future , which will be a devastating event that will literally wipe out one-third of Earth ’ s trees , a promise in which he believes was proved in the Book of Exodus .
In a recent video that he uploaded last month , the pastor started : “ The doctrine starts in verse seven , the first angel sounds and hail and fire follow mingled with blood .
“ Now doesn ’ t that sound like something Exodus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Plagues of Egypt – It ’ s very similar to what ’ s happening .
“ God was judging the Egyptians because they had their false gods , he was saying ‘ those gods aren ’ t real ’ .
“ God is doing the same thing here , he sends down hail and fire , mingled with blood , and look what happens.
” Dr. Barnett claims that the events that we ’ ve seen recently were merely a warning from God for humans trying to save the planet and not themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He went on to state that “ Today , everything is going green and it ’ s good , we shouldn ’ t waste , it ’ s wrong to waste .
“ But the go green is almost a reflection of the Mother Earth save the planet idea – no , save the people .
“ The planet is hopelessly heading for destruction , save the people – there ’ s almost a worship of nature .
“ Well , a third of the trees are burned up and all the green @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signs of life – they provide food , shelter , and shade .
“ But God says to the world , ‘ if you don ’ t worship me if you worship the Earth , then your food , your life , and your comfort , I ’ ll show you that I ’ m the one who is the giver and sustainer of life . '
” Dr. Barnett went on claiming there are many ways that the first trumpet could come , with one being a huge volcanic eruption .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a gazillion things could cause this , have you seen all the volcanoes ?
If one of those breaks loose , that superheated water vapor going up to the atmosphere and a third of all trees are burned up .
“ That ’ s coming , that is literal , it doesn ’ t mean something else , God already did this in Egypt .
“ He burned up and killed their animals , their crops .
“ God is speaking , what a warning , what a wake-up call , people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the tribulation .

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – Isn ’ t it odd that Walmart stores all over the nation have remained open throughout this crisis but we are being told that it is “ too risky ” to hold a church service in many states ?
During this crisis , it has often been said that “ my rights do not end where your fears begin ” , but right now we are witnessing a stunning erosion of our First Amendment rights .
Churches remain closed in many states , and some churches in states that have “ reopened ” are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For example , a Baptist church in Georgia has announced that they will not be holding any in-person worship services “ for the foreseeable future ” … A representative for the Catoosa Baptist Tabernacle in Ringgold , Ga. , told The Christian Post in a statement on Monday that church decided earlier this month to no longer offer “ in-person worship services for the foreseeable future ” after confirming some of its families were “ dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 virus.
” When that church started holding services again recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put into place… “ Seating was marked to only permit sitting within the six-foot guidelines , all doors were open to allow access without the touching of doors , and attendees were asked to enter in a social distancing manner and were dismissed in a formal manner as well to ensure that the social distancing measures were adhered by all , ” the church told the outlet .
But even with all of those restrictions , COVID-19 started spreading in the church .
And so now that church has closed up shop indefinitely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently reopened has now been forced to close again… Days after the move by the church in Georgia , ABC News reported that Houston-based Holy Ghost Parish also did the same after it was discovered multiple members of the organization had contracted the novel coronavirus and one leader had died .
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston said the church , which had also reportedly begun hosting mass at the start of May as some coronavirus restrictions on certain businesses in Texas had begun to ease , decided to re-close last week after the death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sadly , we will probably see a lot more stories like this in the weeks and months to come .
But no matter what we do , we aren ’ t going to be able to prevent people from catching the virus .
In order to do that , we would literally have to shut down everything for a very long time , and that is simply not going to happen .

This constitutes “unequal treatment of faith communities,” the letter, sent by Assistant Attorney General Eric S. Dreiband, along with four other U.S. attorneys in California, suggested. “Simply put, there is no pandemic exception to the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights,” Dreiband wrote.

According to the Associated Press, the letter does not threaten immediate legal action but rather serves as a warning to the state that legal action could follow should the state not make any changes. “The Constitution calls for California to do more to accommodate for religious worship, including in Stage 2 of the Reopening plan,” the letter advised. “Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.” READ MORE

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – Global events are beginning to spiral out of control , and this has created a resurgence in interest in what the Bible has to say about “ the last days ” .
Throughout the Scriptures , we are warned about apocalyptic events that will precede the second coming of Jesus Christ , and a lot of people are wondering if that period of time is now upon us .
All over the Internet , people are engaging in all sorts of speculation and lots of really bizarre theories are being thrown around , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confusion .
But all of this confusion is not necessary , because the Bible is actually very clear about what is coming .
Jesus had quite a bit to say about the time just before His return , and He specifically instructed His followers to watch for certain signs .
He wanted us to understand that He knew about all of these things in advance , that He has a plan , and that He is in control .
So there is no need to fear .
In fact , Jesus told us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be afraid .
Three of the key chapters where Jesus discusses the events of the last days are Matthew 24 , Mark 13 , and Luke 21 .
To set the stage for the rest of this article , let me share just three quick verses from Luke 21… 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions , be not terrified : for these things must first come to pass ; but the end is not by and by .
10 Then said he unto them , Nation shall rise against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places , and famines , and pestilences ; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven .
Could it be possible that we have entered a time when these things are starting to be fulfilled ?
To answer that question , let ’ s examine some of the global events that are currently unfolding… War is coming to the Middle East , and it might be coming a lot sooner than most people think .
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Samaria before the U.S. election in November , and the coalition agreement that he reached with Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz allows him to do that as early as July .
I believe that it will happen at some point in the coming months , and the Palestinians are openly warning that such a move will mean war .

#1 Wars And Rumors Of Wars
War is coming to the Middle East, and it might be coming a lot sooner than most people think. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very eager to annex portions of Judea and Samaria before the U.S. election in November, and the coalition agreement that he reached with Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz allows him to do that as early as July.
I believe that it will happen at some point in the coming months, and the Palestinians are openly warning that such a move will mean war. In fact, Mahmoud Abbas is so upset about this pending annexation that he just publicly backed out of all previous agreements with the United States and Israel… In an emergency meeting in Ramallah Tuesday, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas announced that due to Israeli plans to annex parts of Judea and Samaria, all agreements with Israel and the U.S. are null and void. This would include the Oslo Accords, which was the basis for the establishment of the Palestinian Authority.
And Jordan’s King Abdullah just told a German newspaper that annexation “would lead to a massive conflict with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan”… In an interview with the German newspaper Der Spiegel, the Jordanian monarch reiterated that a two-state solution was the “only way forward” as a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
“What would happen if the Palestinian National Authority collapsed? There would be more chaos and extremism in the region. If Israel really annexed the West Bank in July, it would lead to a massive conflict with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,” said Abdullah.

(CNN) – The candy that’s known for its iconic rainbow is ditching their colorful symbol for Pride Month to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community. Skittles are going colorless with both their packaging and their product for all of June, saying “only #OneRainbow matters.”
Gray limited-edition “Pride Pack” candy bags will hit the shelves of CVS and select Walmart stores next week until the end of June. What about the flavors? Not to fear. Even though you won’t be able to see the rainbow-colored candies, you’ll still get to taste the rainbow with the same original fruity Skittles flavors.
This isn’t the first time the gray candies are being sold in stores. The brand released these packs in Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom in previous years. For the US launch, the brand partnered with LGBTQ+ advocacy group GLAAD, and for every pack of gray skittles sold $1 will be donated to the group up to $100,000. READ MORE
