Hi guys, after being away from civilization for 3 months, I am back (and with 2 new books, now available from barnesandnoble.com). Here, from The Revelation: A Historicist View, 2019 edition is the latest last page annual supplement: 2019 (and Beyond) in Bible Prophecy As always, I must add my standard qualifier here, These predictions are based on the Bible, and thus cannot fail to come true But I may be ahead of God’s timetable by a year or two (and then some) Here’s the latest on the coming to pass of the 7 Last Plagues, That lead to the coming of a glorious New Millennium. (See Rev. 16:1–2, posted 9–1–2018) Like many retired Aryans, I’ve increasingly ...
Pontius Pilate’s Name Is Found on 2,000-Year-Old Ring

The name of Pontius Pilate, the Roman official who ordered the killing of Jesus, according to the Gospel, is mentioned in thousands of sermons every year and is familiar to countless people, but little is known about his life and work. To the very short list of clues about Pilate as a historical figure, archaeologists have added one more: a 2,000-year-old copper alloy ring bearing his name. The ring was discovered in the late 1960s, one of thousands of artifacts found in the excavation of Herodium, an ancient fortress and palace south of Bethlehem, in the West Bank. But it was not until recently that researchers, analyzing those objects with advanced photography, were able to decipher ...
'Talent Wants Transit': Companies Near Transportation Gaining The Upper Hand

One of the important criteria in Amazon's high-profile search for a second (and third) corporate headquarters was access to public transportation for the company's employees. The company chose Queens, N.Y., and Arlington, Va., for its new HQ2s — both locations will be near subway stops. And a new study finds Amazon is not alone in this regard; businesses all over the country increasingly want to be near bus and train lines, as they struggle to attract and keep top talent in a tight labor market. A case in point is McDonald's, a company that owes its enormous success to people driving their cars. After all, the fast-food giant sells millions of meals through drive-through ...

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shared a joke at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, laughing heartily as they took seats next to each other in the main meeting room. Earlier, the Saudi ruler was sidelined during the official 'family photo' of world leaders and other dignitaries, standing at the far edge of the group portrait and ignored. His presence at the international summit has been contentious following the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October
Philly Cops Skirting Forfeiture Restrictions By Seizing Cars As 'Evidence'

from the any-port-in-a-shitstorm deptA couple of months ago, a consent decree drastically restructured Philadelphia's severely-abused asset forfeiture program. It didn't eliminate the program entirely, but it did eliminate the small-ball cash grabs favored by local law enforcement. The median seizure by Philly law enforcement is only $178, but it adds up to millions if you do it all the time. Small seizures like this now need to be tied to arrests or the property needs to be used as evidence in a criminal case. Other restraints will hopefully eliminate local law enforcement's worst practices -- like seizing someone's house because their kid sold $40 of drugs to a police ...
Heil Fuhrer Trump! [Full Thread]

So Trump is all set to do his ban on “bump stocks.” Let’s look at a few aspects of this: 1 – This is not being done by legislation. It is being unilaterally done, dictator-style, by just declaring bump-stocks to fit within the definition of what is already “illegal,” in direct contrast to the DOJ’s own prior interpretation of the law, going back for decades. In other words, Trump is declaring that what the ATF and DOJ thought the law meant before wasn’t authoritarian and controlling enough. (Incidentally, he could just as easily do the same thing with tri-burst trigger assemblies next.) 2 – Unlike the misnamed 1994 ...
When the Nanny State Actually Tries To Nanny

This is not just about kids, but about the adults they will become.Anytime you hear the words "for the safety of our precious children," grab your little ones and run. Someone who thinks he cares more about your kids than you do is about to make you grovel. If he's from the government, run faster. Chicago mom Kim Brooks learned that lesson a few years back when she was hurrying to get everything ready for a plane trip home from visiting her parents in Virginia. Brooks knew that if her son didn't have a set of headphones, it would be a miserable flight for him (and anyone seated near them, I would guess), so she drove to the store to buy a pair. When the boy said he ...
Trump Administration Set to Announce Pointless, Legally Dubious Bump Stock Ban [Full Thread]

Even the Obama administration recognized it didn't have the authority to ban bump stocks.Bump stocks are modifications that can be attached to a rifle to increase the rate of fire, often at the expense of accuracy. Nine months after President Donald Trump endorsed a ban on the devices, the administration appears to be on the verge of banning them. CNN was the first to report the news yesterday evening, citing "officials familiar with the matter." An administration official confirmed to The New York Times that the rule would be unveiled "in the coming days to weeks." Under Trump's new regulation, a source tells CNN, bump stock owners would have 90 days to get rid ...

“Don’t Eat the Fish:” This might have been the headline of The Paris Times in the autumn of 1572, if such a newspaper had existed. On Aug. 24, 1572 – St. Bartholomew’s Day – and several days thereafter, Frenchmen slaughtered 100,000 of their Huguenot countrymen throughout France – 10,000 in Paris alone. The favorite disposal site, the Seine, the Rhone, and the rivers of France were stained red by the oozing corpses left rotting. Another 6,000 slain downriver in Rouen would have injected the Seine with a fetid ribbon of crimson as it meandered towards the Atlantic. The Loire River valley, so strewn with corpses, brought normally shy and unseen packs of ...

Peter, who has undergone several years of imprisonment because of the faith, advises the Vatican to take also to heart the situation of the "brothers who are still suffering". The Sino-Vatican agreement produces confusion. Some doubts about the morality of the illegitimate bishops, who are now reconciled. Esteem for Pope Francis. Beijing (AsiaNews) - "The Holy See should concern itself with bishops who are still in prison", comforting "the brothers who are still suffering": says Fr. Peter, a priest from central China, who in the past also suffered prison. While appreciating the mission of Pope Francis, Fr. Peter confesses to being confused by the Sino-Vatican ...

A family who buried their dead bearded dragon were stunned when the reptile reappeared on their front lawn five weeks later. Rachel Haspell, 42, from Cheshire, could barely believe her eyes when she saw her beloved pet Nala, sunning itself in her garden, having seemingly returned from the dead. The family were distraught when their beloved lizard fell ill, with a vet later confirming that Nala had passed away. Mrs Haspell said: 'The whole family was absolutely devastated when we thought Nala had passed away. However, the reptile was simply in a state of hibernation and on awaking from its slumber, managed to claw its way out of his shallow grave. 'After noticing that Nala ...
GOP cancels votes on judges amid standoff over Mueller bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee has canceled a Thursday vote on more than 20 federal judge nominations amid a standoff between Republican Sen. Jeff Flake and GOP leaders over legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller. The Arizona senator, who is retiring from Congress, is a frequent critic of President Donald Trump. Flake has said he won't vote for any federal judges until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holds a Senate floor vote on the special counsel bill. The Judiciary panel, with an 11-10 Republican majority, doesn't have enough votes to advance nominees without Flake's support. Confirming more judges before the end of the year is a ...
Ann Coulter: Trump’s Great Wall Becomes Trump’s Great Stall

For those of us who were ecstatic the night Donald Trump was elected president, who watch election night videos over and over again, it used to be easy to defend him against the charge that he is just a BS-ing con man who would say anything to get elected. It’s getting harder. Trump was our last chance. But he’s spent two years not building the wall, not deporting illegals — “INCREDIBLE KIDS!” — and not ending the anchor baby scam. Within 10 seconds of Trump’s leaving office, there will be no evidence that he was ever president. Laws will be changed, executive orders rescinded, treaties re-written and courts packed. Trump will leave no legacy at all. Only ...
Cohen pleads guilty in new deal with Mueller

Cohen appeared in federal court in Manhattan Thursday where he entered a guilty plea for misstatements to Congress in closed-door testimony last year about his contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign. Cohen has now promised to “put family and country first” by cooperating with prosecutors, becoming perhaps the most pivotal public witness against his former boss. Cohen’s earlier plea deal with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York implicated President Trump in campaign finance felonies. Since then, Cohen has spent more than 70 hours in interviews with Mueller's team. The questioning has focused on contacts with Russians by Trump ...
10 Reasons The Death Penalty Should Be Legal
Post Date: 2018-11-29 11:12:51 by IbJensen

Should the death penalty be legal? To listen to some people in favor of the abolition of the death penalty or organizations such as Amnesty International the United States, by executing criminals, stands alongside such countries as China and Saudi Arabia in its barbarity. Many countries in the world, including most of Europe have rescinded their death penalties. The decision to do so is often lauded as the choice of a rational, modern, mature and humane society There was a time, in living memory, when there was a moratorium on executions in the United States (see below) but the death penalty was reinstated in 36 states. Recent problems with botched executions including a 2014 execution ...
The Costs of the Confederacy

In the last decade alone, American taxpayers have spent at least $40 million on Confederate monuments and groups that perpetuate racist ideology With centuries-old trees, manicured lawns, a tidy cemetery and a babbling brook, the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library is a marvelously peaceful, green oasis amid the garish casinos, T-shirt shops and other tourist traps on Highway 90 in Biloxi, Mississippi. One gray October morning, about 650 local schoolchildren on a field trip to Beauvoir, as the home is called, poured out of buses in the parking lot. A few ran to the yard in front of the main building to explore the sprawling live oak whose lower limbs reach across the lawn like ...
Blacklisted Feminist: Saying Men Aren’t Women Used to Be ‘Banal,’ Today It’s ‘Heresy’

Meghan Murphy, a prominent feminist who was recently banned from Twitter for stating that men aren’t women, wrote an article for Quillette on Wednesday explaining how formerly “banal” facts have become “heresy — akin to terrorist speech.” Murphy, who accused Twitter of “censoring basic facts and silencing people,” was permanently suspended from the social network last week for stating, “Women aren’t men,” and “How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between a man and a transwoman?” After Twitter made Murphy delete the posts, she made another post calling out Twitter, and was subsequently blacklisted. ...
Indiana Solicitor General: It's Constitutional to Seize a Car for Driving 5 MPH Over the Speed Limit

Civil asset forfeiture is such a farce that it took Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer only about 100 words to twist Indiana's solicitor general into admitting that his state could have the power to seize cars over something as insubstantial as driving 5 miles-per-hour over the speed limit. Yes, really. But let's back up. On Wednesday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Timbs v. Indiana, a case that could have huge ramifications for the way states and local governments use civil asset forfeiture to target the property of suspected criminals. As most Reason readers are probably aware, asset forfeiture is the process by which law enforcement can seize cars, cash, ...

The controversial subject of climate engineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term “chemtrails” – is stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny. What was once a conspiracy theory is now the subject of congressional debate and peer-reviewed studies. This month, a new study published in Environmental Research Letters, normalizes geoengineering and planes spraying particulates into the atmosphere to curb global warming. The study recommends that a fleet of 100 planes make 4,000 worldwide missions per year to “save the world from climate change.” The planes would be spraying sulphate particulates ...
New Bill to Require Gov’t Review of Social Media Accounts, Search Engine History to Buy a Gun

In one of the most Orwellian bills to date, lawmakers in New York have drafted and proposed a bill that will require a review of a citizen’s social media as well as their search engine history, going back years—just to buy a gun. Senate Bill 9191 would establish an official investigation officer who would scour the social media posts and search engine history of anyone attempting to purchase a gun. It also applies to current gun owners who want to renew their licenses. According to the bill, when a person attempts to purchase a gun, an investigating officer would then be given the password to the gun buyer’s social media accounts. The officer would go back three years ...
The Counterinsurgency Paradigm: How U.S. Politics Have Become Paramilitarized

Donald Trump ran a campaign promising to refill the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison, to “bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding,” to “take out” the families of suspected terrorists, to ban Muslims from entering this country, and to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Yet these policies didn’t start with Trump: Torture, indefinite detention, extraordinary renditions, record numbers of deportations, anti-Muslim sentiment, mass foreign and domestic surveillance, and even the killing of innocent family members of suspected terrorists all have a recent historical precedent. Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, continued some of the worst policies ...
(MORE) Clintons’ speaking tour event in Toronto had 83% of the seats empty

Apparently the Clintons’ political life is set to end not with a bang but a whimper. I wonder what kind of envy Bill and Hillary Clinton experienced over the jam-packed arenas -- with thousands listening outside – that President Trump always has, as they gazed out at the more than 15,000 empty seats facing them last night in Toronto on their stadium speaking tour. Even though curtains were erected cutting the arena in half, the vacant seats far outnumbered the occupied ones. The UK Daily Mail reports 3,300 tickets were sold in the Scotiabank Arena, which holds 19,800, 16.6% of capacity. Perhaps even more humiliating, while ticket prices began at $53 (Canadian), the UK Daily ...

President Trump has slammed Barack Obama and his lawless administration for “spying” on his presidential campaign, claiming that the surveillance abuse committed by Obama, John Brennan and James Clapper may be considered “treason,”, according to audio tapes obtained by the Daily Mail. According to President Trump, Barack Obama was fully aware his appointed CIA chief John Brennan and director of national intelligence (DNI) James Clapper were conducting surveillance on citizens, specifically members of his campaign. “Personally, I think he knew. Yeah. Just remember what they did.” “Let me put it this way: if the shoe were on the other foot, and the same ...
