(Hey, it's not my fault that July 4th falls on a Saturday this year. I remain dedicated to my readers who love the News Weakly entries and skip a patriotic July 4th entry for you readers. Hope you don't mind.)
The Sky Is Falling!
As they keep telling us, the end of the world is at hand. In this recent story, the ocean surface temperatures hit a record high and we’re in “uncharted territory.” This just after I watched a documentary on the great reefs of the world that told how the environment changed rapidly and radically and life adapted and diversified in order to survive after temperatures changed and ocean levels rose. So ... which is it? Are we headed for disaster or a new beginning? I just can’t keep up with “science” that keeps contradicting itself. (They keep proving "they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened" (Rom 1:21).)
Fragile Peace
The U.S. military launched fresh airstrikes against Iran because Iran has been attacking commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz … in the middle of the “ceasefire” and “peace treaty.” Is this a language barrier thing, where Iran doesn’t speak “peace”? I know the U.S. isn’t perfect at this, but the world was booing the playing of Iran’s national anthem at the FIFA World Cup, so it’s not the U.S. that is raising the ire of the public … this time. They keep saying, “Peace, peace,” but there is no peace (Jer 6:14; Jer 8:11).
A Different “Unrest”
A pair of earthquakes in Venezuela have killed more than 2,500 with tens of thousands missing. Aid is rushing in and Venezuela is being accused of underreporting deaths and slow response. Pray for the people of Venezuela.
An Oblivious Supreme Court
This week the Supreme Court failed to recognize that Donald Trump is the King of the United States and struck down worldwide tariffs, affirmed the independence of the Federal Reserve, and threw out Trump’s attempt at ending birthright citizenship. Crazy Supreme Court. What do they think they are? Part of a system of checks and balances for the Executive Branch? Probably just power-hungry idiots. Or … just doing their jobs—in the face of the "No Kings" complainers.
All the Fake News That’s Fit to Print
The new Supergirl movie has unveiled a new power for Supergirl—the ability to lose $100 million in one week. Europe is suffering from a deadly heatwave that has killed thousands, so American missionaries have been dispatched to Europe to spread the good news of air conditioning. Finally, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s removal of Threatened Persons Status (TPS) to many currently in the country, Democrats are vowing to only deport immigrants who love America.
Must be true; I read it on the internet.
(Postscripts: First, no, it's NOT All the fake news that's fit to print. I know. Second, I tried something a little different in this "fake news" this time. I stuck the actual story link in with the fake story link so you could see both. Just in case you were confused.)
