Not all people are stupid or anti-Israel! ‘Trader Joe’s Israeli made “Pastures of Eden” feta cheese has been on the BDS list for quite some time. BDS has called upon its supporters to boycott the cheese because it is owned by the Tnuva group, the largest dairy producer in Israel. And boy did it backfire.’
I grew up in Iowa and haven’t been ashamed of that fact until now.
‘An incredible story out of Iowa, where an Ames man was sentenced to 16 years in prison for burning an LGBTQ rainbow flag.
Adolfo Martinez stole a gay pride flag flying outside a church and torched it in front of a men’s strip club. NBCNews reports he was sentenced “to 15 years for the hate crime of arson and given a year for reckless use of explosives or fire and 30 days for harassment.” His sentence was enhanced by the fact that he was a “habitual offender.”
So why 16 years? A local pastor explains.
Ames Church of Christ Minister Eileen Gebbie said the sentencing was both heartbreaking and justified.
“Nobody got shot (and) nobody was sexually assaulted,” Gebbie said. “It was a banner. How much does that hurt? But I had to reflect on the fear it created in our sanctuary. People became afraid to go to church. We had to continue to talk about how to prepare for an active shooter and we learned from the trial Mr. Martinez had been watching our church for some time.”
So “fear”= 15 years? I always thought Lady Justice was supposed to be blind, and that “justice” was a concept that was defined by reason, balance, and fairness. But this is madness. This is vengeful.
The prosecutor believes the sentence was fair.
“I believe him to be very dangerous,” Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds said. “That’s why my office recommended the maximum sentence.”
Reynolds said the judge agreed to the 17-year sentence because Martinez has a long history of harassment and is a habitual offender and never showed any remorse.
“The defendant stated that there was nothing the judge could to stop him from continuing this behavior and that he would continue to do this no matter what,” she said.
He’s not threatening people. He’s threatening flags. The fact that he’s a habitual offender matters some, but this isn’t Minority Report and we don’t have a “pre-crime bureau.” We can’t predict future crimes he will commit and then sentence him for something he hasn’t done yet.
It is apparently not a “hate crime” to burn an American flag. It’s hardly a “crime” at all. In fact, it’s seen by many as an act of courage — “speaking truth to power” and all that. But we can only punish certain kinds of “hate” — the “right kinds” of hate that are smiled upon by the arbiters of social justice. Interestingly, the number of “hate crimes” seems to be growing all the time and the impulse to punish it is also expanding.
It makes a mockery of the concept of “justice” and “fairness.”‘ https://pjmedia.com/trending/man-sentenced-to-16-years-in-prison-for-burning-an-lgbtq-flag/?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=&bcid=08b5a1e2f2263b83e918fb56d7a12a3e&recip=26169367
Anmar was raised in a strict Muslim household and risked becoming an outcast, and worse, to turn from tradition and follow the faith he believed in his heart. Listen to his testimony of coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ on Unshackled.
I have been to the Trader Joe’s which is near my daughter’s house in Atlanta. If I am ever again there I will be sure to purchase some Israeli made ‘Pastures of Eden’ feta cheese! Why?
Because it is one of many items on the BDS not to buy list of Israeli products. You see; ‘Trader Joe’s Israeli made “Pastures of Eden” feta cheese has been on the BDS list for quite some time. BDS has called upon its supporters to boycott the cheese because it is owned by the Tnuva group, the largest dairy producer in Israel.
A Muslim lecturer at UC Berkeley has taken heed to the call by tagging renowned anti-Semite activist Linda Sarsour in his Facebook post which petitions for locals to stop shopping at Trader Joe’s.
“Trader Joe’s is having Israeli Feta on its shelves! One more reason to stop shopping at the store,” Hatem Bazian wrote last week.

Joe Zevuloni, who heads the “Israeli Army of Publicity” organization, took to Facebook on Tuesday to defend the Jewish State’s cheese.
“This Israel-hating anti-Semitic professor from UC Berkeley tagged Linda Sarsour in his post and called on everyone to boycott Trader Joe’s supermarket chain because it sells Israeli feta cheese,” Zevuloni wrote in one post.
“Go to his page and don’t forget to tell him thank-you for the fact that in his merit, we’ll all buy specifically from a brand that sells Israeli products. Tag the Population and Immigration Authority in your comments and help me show him Israel just in Google. Then “like” this post and share, if you’re with me. Am Israel hai (literally: the nation of Israel lives on)!” he wrote in another post.
The call to counter the boycott worked, according to Israeli news site Arutz7. Pro-Israeli customers cleared off the shelves and then moved on to buy other Israeli products.
Zevoluni also shared a video of a store manager at a Florida based Trader Joe’s happily restocking the delicious Israeli made feta cheese.’ https://worldisraelnews.com/trader-joe-boycott-fizzles-as-pro-israel-customers-buy-out-chains-israeli-cheese/?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
‘According to secular scientists, the Moon is roughly 4.5 billion years old. It supposedly formed right after the Solar System did. But there’s a growing body of evidence that this old-age assessment is incorrect.
(Of course, this isn’t the only problem for secular ideas of the Moon’s formation. The “giant impact” model is known to be wrong. It is still being taught today anyway, but only because secular scientists don’t have any better ideas.)
The Moon’s supposed age of billions of years was never correct, of course. But it was easier for secular scientists to make that claim a few decades ago—back when we didn’t know as much about the Moon as we do now.
The challenges arise from simple, well-understood physics:
- Hot things cool off.
- Small hot things cool off more quickly than large hot things. (Small objects have a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. Thus, they lose heat more quickly.)
The Moon is a small object. According to secular theories, it should have cooled from its formation long ago. A small, cold body would have no source of energy for geological activity. (Although there are tidal interactions between the Moon and Earth, these don’t supply significant amounts of energy.)
Therefore, the Moon’s geological activity also should have ceased long ago.
But apparently it didn’t. Here are three indicators of recent tectonic activity within the Moon:
- Volcanic eruptions
- TLP (Transient Lunar Phenomena)
- Seismic activity (moonquakes)
Here’s why these discoveries are interesting.
If the Moon is (or recently was) geologically active, this activity indicates that it’s still hot inside. And if it’s still hot inside, it hasn’t cooled off yet.
And if it hasn’t cooled off yet, then it isn’t billions of years old.’ https://www.creationastronomy.com/articles/
This video is from Creation, Evolution and Science Ministries. Their website is https://creationministries.org/ .
Evolution is taught as a fact in all public schools supported by the tax payer whether the taxpayer believes evolution is true or not. If it isn’t true it is a LIE foisted upon the students. Christians therefore must look for other sources that teach what the Bible teaches and that is there was a Creator.
This documentary shows the result of a worldwide flood known as Noah’s flood. This flood was the result of man’s sinfulness. Genesis 6:5 tells us And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
That flood of Noah’s time resulted in the formation of the Grand Canyon. If you do not know the Lord Jesus as your personal Saviour from your sins there is a judgement waiting for you. As the preacher’s told the jailer the same is true of you Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
It seems that the world (whatever that word might mean to you) has pretty much taken over every possible area of thinking. For instance, many people today accept evolution as a fact and that we must be told quite often that it is true. Well here is an article that just might dispel that.
‘Take the word “evolutionary” out of most science articles. It serves no purpose but to twist data and mislead readers.
What has Darwin done for you lately? Probably very little, and possibly a lot of harm. Science writers and researchers have a bad habit of inserting “evolutionary” into their writing. It’s not history; it’s evolutionary history. She’s not a biologist; she’s an evolutionary biologist. It’s not paleontology, it’s evolutionary paleontology. Enough already! Show some actual value that evolution has contributed to the writing, or else delete the word.
New evolutionary insights into the early development of songbirds (Science Daily). People want insights, but why “evolutionary insights”? The sophoxymoronic phrase is a contradiction in terms. If it’s evolutionary, it’s not insight. If it’s insight, it’s not evolutionary, otherwise it would be blind and unguided insight, which is not insight at all. The work was done by “evolutionary biologists.” Why not just biologists? They talked about germline restricted chromosomes (GRCs) in birds, which are important for preventing “somatic cells from possible negative effects.” So why must they desire to speculate about the “evolutionary history” of GRCs? The moment they insert the useless word, the perhapsimaybecouldness index rises as the scientific value falls.
Divers of the past: Plesiosaur research reveals rapid increase of blood cell size (Phys.org). Plesiosaurs appear in the fossil record as capable swimmers and hunters in a variety of forms, without ancestors. Looking for an evolutionary tale to spin, German researchers from Duisburg-Essen University analyzed thin sections of bone from plesiosaurs and think they found slight increases in blood cell size over time. They say,
From an evolutionary perspective, this change is obviously still useful. Today`s whales, seals and penguins also have unusually large red blood cells, but their close relatives on land and in freshwater do not. “This supports our assumption that this is a significant adaption of warm-blooded marine life,” says Kai Caspar.
From a “biological perspective” is adequate. Better, “from a design perspective.” Evolution had nothing to do with it. The data are too ambiguous, for one thing, and Caspar did not rule out other, more plausible reasons for the inferred cell diameters than the Stuff Happens Law. He certainly did not trace chance mutations that might have gotten selected blindly. That would clearly be difficult or impossible. The word “evolutionary,” therefore, serves no purpose. It’s distracting and misleading.’ https://crev.info/2019/12/evolutionary-a-useless-adjective/
I have written about these Muslim patrols in NYC before and here it is again.
‘The Muslim patrol gained international attention in the fall of 2018 after several of its patrol cars — which look like New York Police Department (NYPD) cars –were spotted in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
The patrol originally said its purpose was to serve as a liaison between Muslims and the NYPD. But after two consecutive mosque shootings in New Zealand last March, where a gunman live-streamed his murder of 51 Muslims on Facebook, the patrol publicly altered its purpose.
It now describes itself as a law enforcement organization, claiming its goal is to “protect members of the local community from escalating quality-of-life nuisance crimes.”
It’s precisely that “law enforcement” definition that is now landing the Muslim patrol into hot water with New York City residents, particularly those living in the Brooklyn area of Bedford-Stuyvesant.’
‘The cars also have sirens, which another neighborhood resident says is being used to intimidate people.
“They turn on their sirens when they see non-Muslims park next to a mosque during Friday prayer services,” said another resident.
“They get out of their cars and start humiliating these people, telling them they have to move their cars and that they can’t park next to a mosque because they’re not a Muslim, even though it’s completely legal for them to park there,” he explained.
In addition, Muslim patrol officers are patrolling sidewalks near mosques and stripping people of their open containers of alcohol. Though open containers of alcohol are a city violation, an NYPD officer typically resolves it peacefully.
“In some cases, these Muslim patrol officers are kicking the beer out of their hands or yanking it from them and pouring it out on the streets,” the second resident said. “These guys aren’t police officers and they don’t have the right to take someone else’s property and destroy it, even if a person is committing an offense.”
“They talk to these people like the ARE the police,” he added. “And a lot of people in the Bed-Stuy community are getting fed up with it. Some, including the Muslims in the community, are demanding a meeting with the district attorney.”
Both residents who spoke up, however, agreed that the NYPD still favors the “services” provided by Muslim patrol.
“The local captain, he don’t care if they’re enforcing sharia law. The police see them as helping them with their jobs.”’ https://clarionproject.org/nyc-muslim-patrol-bullying-reported/?utm_source=Clarion%20Project%20Newsletter
All this ought to make one scared but especially the statement ‘The local captain, he don’t care if they’re enforcing sharia law.’ When will the Muslim Patrol be coming to your city?
The Climate scammers continue their diabolical devilish demonic droning about man made climate change and I am personally getting weary of hearing about it. I guess, what really gets me are the politicians that are voted into office making the voters believe they haven’t swallowed this climate scamming kool-aid. One example is our Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison who took a lump of coal into the Federal Parliament in spite of many climate scammers being present. However, he hasn’t brought another lump of coal into Federal Parliament since winning the 2019 election which was primarily based on whether the Australian electorate believed the Climate Scam. People voted Morrison and his fellow politicians back in but instead of taking a tough stance against these lying leeches he has recently ‘…stated that climate change was a contributing factor to the bushfires that have plagued the nation for months.’ https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/scott-morrison-says-climate-change-was-a-contributing-factor-to-bushfires/news-story/25d6f61d0db5538bbbdeac745d107bc9

What a turn coat! These climate scamming so-called conservatives are openly saying and putting into practice what the Labor/Greens were upfront with at the last election on how they would combat the LIE of climate change. These wolves in sheep’s clothing are just going to dig our economic grave a little slower.
Anyway, when I read what the PM said I was angry (righteous anger of course) and I wrote him an email. Here is what I said.
‘Subject: Climate Change, drought and fires ‘Prime Minister, I was very saddened to read that you said “And we all know … that climate change, along with many other factors, contribute to what is occurring today.” No, I do not know that. I do know the climate changed after Noah’s flood and that it continues to change but it has nothing to do with fossil fuels or animals flagellating. It has more to do with the sun. Australia has gone through many droughts but it has always rained. Most, if not all bush-fires are caused by either man setting the fire on purpose, man neglecting to back burn or lightning. Right now, Australia needs dams and fossil fuels for consistent energy. I would encourage you to begin building dams for future droughts which will occur no matter what kind of car we drive. Stop playing footsie with the Labor/Greens as this is going to lose you the next election. One Nation, the Shooters and other conservative minor parties will be the winners along with the nation if this worshipping at the climate change altar continues.’
Be assured, I won’t hold my breath until I get a personal email back from the PM. 
What we need here in Australia is a Trump who got the USA out of the Paris agreement. Instead, our PM continues to follow the UN Follow the Money Trail Paris agreement as though it is the Gospel. He said ‘…climate change is a global challenge. Australia is playing our role as part of this global challenge. In fact, I can tell you that emissions from Australia are lower today than at any other time than before we came to government.’ He went on to say that Australia’s emissions are “…around almost on average 50 million tons lower per year now than they were under the term of the previous government. And we’ll continue to meet our commitments when it comes to Kyoto.” https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/scott-morrison-says-climate-change-was-a-contributing-factor-to-bushfires/news-story/25d6f61d0db5538bbbdeac745d107bc9
Then there is the supposedly conservative NSW Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean who said “There is no country on the planet better placed to take advantage of the new low emissions economy than Australia, and we should be doing our bit to tackle climate change.” https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/pressure-mounts-on-scott-morrison-to-act-on-climate-change-as-bushfire-crisis-continues/news-story/0d129ed6942484e8c0e986326832da35
With ‘conservative friends’ like those in the Liberal and National Party who needs enemies? Mr. Morrison, you claim to be a Christian so I remind you of what God said in Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
