Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Netherlands and Belgium are Euthanizing Mentally Ill Patients and Harvesting Their Organs ~ Greasing that infamous slippery slope ~
Where are we as a society that killing and harvesting are respectfully discussed in one of the world’s most respected medical journals–and no one brings up crucial issues of right and wrong?
African, Korean missionaries look to reconvert America, Europe ~ Another sad sign that the U.S. really is a post-Christian nation ~
While the U.S. still leads the world in sending missionaries—something that has been true for a long time—our market share is dropping. The largest growth seen in global missions output is in non-Western countries. And it’s happening fast […]
(A)nyone trying to convert Westerners has their work cut out for them. As The Economist piece observed, “Saving the rich is difficult,” though Jesus said it wasn’t impossible. Among the compelling stories of Christian history we may read about one day will be whether missionaries from the Global South coaxed Western camels through the needle’s eye.
Germany: Hundreds Probed Over Anti-Migrant Comments on Facebook ~ Germany’s been overrun by Middle Eastern migrants, but don’t complain or Merkel’s minions will track you down ~
The massive police investigation is apparently meant as a warning to anonymous internet users critical of the country’s migrant policy. “No one can hide behind a screen, not even with pseudonyms or made-up names,” Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann warned […]
While authorities frantically search social media for traces of hate speech, the ISIS fighters are freely returning to Germany without any serious fear of prosecution for their heinous war crimes…
Meanwhile in the U.S. ~ Department of Homeland Security Goes Further Down the Countering Violent Extremism Rabbit Hole ~ DHS is spending $35 million of our tax dollars on another boondoggle; a new Center of Excellence in Terrorism Prevention and Counterterrorism Research. Jihad Watch tried to learn specifically what sort of terrorism they’d be preventing… and got nowhere ~
Job One for the federal government is to keep people safe, and that can’t happen unless the government admits Islamic doctrine per se is a national security problem. There’s a lot of mindless romanticism about ‘inclusiveness’ these days, but the obvious question is this: why would we want to include people who want to kill or subjugate us?
Ilhan Omar & Rashida Tlaib Partnered with Vicious Anti-Semites ~ Here’s the truth about these two Muslim drama queens and their latest stunt ~
The most important element of the story is the fact that two American congresswomen shunned a bipartisan congressional delegation to Israel to go on an independent trip to Israel sponsored by vicious anti-Semites. Another important element of the story is that, as of today, the mainstream media have whitewashed Omar and Tlaib’s vile associations […]
It would and should be a national scandal if GOP congressmen intended to partner with white nationalists during a visit overseas. It should be a national scandal that members of the American government intended to partner with vicious anti-Semites on their own propaganda tour.
Johns Hopkins University Fires Professor Who Defied Campus Protesters ~ The inmates are definitely running the asylum.
Greenland Deserves the Attention Trump Is Giving It ~ Now that the president brought it up, how much do we really know about this autonomous constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark? Luke Coffey at the Daily Signal takes a look (Turns out Trump isn’t the first president to wonder about purchasing the place.) ~
Greenland is a very important U.S. partner with a long and rich history. It was first discovered by Vikings in the 10th century, and was ruled by the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway until 1814. That year, the Treaty of Kiel transferred ownership to the Kingdom of Denmark after the union between Norway and Denmark ended[…]
After Germany invaded Denmark in 1940, the U.S. quickly deployed forces to protect Greenland from Nazi Germany. Ever since, the U.S. has maintained a military presence on the island.
In 1946, the Truman administration tried, unsuccessfully, to buy the entire island from Denmark for $100 million. The U.S. was, however, granted long-term access to important military sites.
Taxing the Rich at 100 Percent Won’t Come Close to Paying for Socialist Agenda, Study Finds ~ Another socialist myth shattered ~
“It is arithmetically impossible to pay for progressive promises by ‘taxing the rich,'” David Burton, Heritage’s senior fellow in economic policy, wrote in the study. “Progressive promises are too expensive—and the amount of income earned by the rich is too small. Even using lower cost estimates, confiscating every dollar earned by every taxpayer with incomes of $200,000 or more would only pay for about half of the progressive agenda.”
The Legend Continues ~ The Woodward Dream Cruise, a Motor City classic ~
The Dream Cruise was started by Nelson House in 1995 and a group of volunteers who wanted to recreate a bit of nostalgic fun associated with the 50s and 60s, “when youth, music and Motor City steel roamed Woodward Avenue, America’s first highway.”[…]
It’s now a 16-mile traffic jam, but a traffic jam consisting of more than 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles. A million spectators line the route of the family friendly spectacle just to look at all the classic vehicles.
Bernie Sanders agrees to reveal what US knows about ALIENS if elected ~ Ole Bern appeals to the Area 51 constituency ~
White House hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) added unveiling U.S. government knowledge about aliens to his list of campaign promises during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan on Tuesday.
Hong Kong Protesters Raise American Flag, Sing the Star-Spangled Banner ~ Our ungrateful leftists burn the flag. Those who understand how fragile freedom really is know better ~
