News Weakly - 2/22/25

Unclear On The Concept
A Florida man shot two Israeli tourists in Florida because ... he thought they were Palestinians. Now, that's crazy on its own. He thought he killed them, but both survived. He shot them while driving. Nuts. But the most outlandish part of this story was ... the outlet connected it to "antisemitism." Now, antisemitism is against Jews, and, although the victims were Israeli, the criminal acted out of hate for the Palestinians. Not the same thing. Apparently the reporter is having the same problem the shooter did.

Heartbreaking
In 2 Tim. 3:3, Paul warns in the end times people will be "unloving," among other things. That word is a specific kind of love -- natural family affection. And he says it will fail. In Michigan authorities discovered three children, ages 12 to 15, abandoned by their mother and living in "absolute squalor." She left them "years ago." It's a heartbreaking story. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Rev 22:20).

Silly RFK Jr, Science is for Kids
That crazy RFK Jr. thinks that science matters. He's trying to restore the concept of the biological truth that there are only two sexes. Nutjob. Hater. Well, I mean, he's right but, come on, when did that matter? (To the doubters, there are only two sexes. If you want to battle over gender expression, you can, but there are only two sexes.)

Right ... Got It
An Alabama grand jury has recommended the entire Hanceville police department be abolished. Yes, abolished. It is a "rampant culture of corruption," so the solution is to eliminate ... law enforcement. Because getting rid of police has recently proved to be very effective ... or ... not.

Pro-Palestinian?
This week Hamas kept part of their bargain by sending home four hostages ... who were dead. The handover was deemed "macabre" by CNN. In a stunning reversal, one of the bodies was supposed to be that of Shiri Bibas, while 2 more were her two babies. Hamas lied ... odd, because Hamas is known for its honest and kind dealings. The bodies of the babies were there (and Oded Lifshitz), but the fourth body was not Bibas. In fact, it wasn't any of the known hostages. Netanyahu has vowed "revenge."

Fake News You Can Trust
The U.S. and Russia have been discussing how to end the war in Ukraine ... without involving Ukraine. Putin has reportedly declared he doesn't want to occupy Ukraine anymore. It has too many holes in it now. In an unrelated story, records from ancient Nineveh have been uncovered, explaining about the Jonah story that they actually repented when that odd prophet that smelled like whale barf left town. Finally, a Texas man cringed when he logged into Facebook and the Facebook Memories feature brought up images of his earlier libertarian phase. How embarrassing! Thanks, Facebook.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

This is the problem of "hate crimes". Unless someone tells you, how do you know why someone did something? So often now with this new term we simply infer a motive, and even now ignore the stated motive to continue our narrative.

Heartbreaking
On so many levels. These children should have been old enough to take care of themselves. This family was so cut off from any sort of community that no one came to check on them. It is terrible the things we do to each other.

Atheists mock Christians for "cherry -picking" what commands they will obey from the Bible, but this is further proof that we will all cherry-pick what ever facts we want to believe.

Right... Got It
Makes sense to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I wonder what their plan is in the meantime while they hire and train new police officers.

Pro-Palestinian
It is sad that this has even been made an option for Hamas and other terrorist groups in the area. If I were ever kidnapped by terrorists, I'd rather die in a rescue attempt than left at the mercy of monsters. There is no moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas.
