US issues veiled threat to Hungary

HUNGARY - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is isolating his country from the Western “community of democracies,” US Ambassador David Pressman claimed on Thursday in wide-reaching rebuke. Ties between the two nations should not depend on “temporary” leaders, the diplomat argued, as he delivered a list of grievances against Budapest. “While the Orban government may want to wait out the United States government, the United States will certainly not wait out the Orban administration. While Hungry waits, we will act,” Pressman warned. The ambassador was referring to Orban’s expressed hope that Donald Trump will defeat President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.

EU state blasts Biden’s ‘dictatorship’ remarks

On Tuesday, Szijjarto told reporters that Orban had never said anything close to these words. He also revealed that Budapest summoned Washington’s ambassador over the matter.

Israel is a 'white, settler colonialist nation'

UK - Foreign Office staff told to not call Hamas 'terrorists' in Whitehall training session as academics brand term 'unhelpful' and suggest Israel is a 'white, settler colonialist nation'. MPs have accused senior civil servants of allowing ‘ignorant and dangerous’ views into the department. The seminar, held in Whitehall, said calling Hamas terrorists was ‘unhelpful’ and suggested Israel is a ‘white, settler colonialist nation’. The training was run by academics from King’s College London who also said there was ‘no future without Hamas’, which carried out the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. About 100 officials, including specialists in the Middle East, attended the 75-minute session, which was first reported by the Jewish Chronicle. Speakers said applying the ‘terrorist label’ to Hamas was an obstacle to peace.

Russia, China and Iran launch joint naval exercise

MIDDLE EAST - Russian, Chinese, and Iranian navy ships are holding a joint exercise in the Arabian Sea this week, staging from the Port of Chah Bahar in the Gulf of Oman. The wargames – Maritime Security Belt – are scheduled to run from March 12-15 and involve vessels and aircraft from the three countries. Envoys from the militaries of Azerbaijan, India, Kazakhstan, Oman, Pakistan, and South Africa are in attendance as observers. “The practical part of the exercise will take place in the waters of the Arabian Sea, specifically the Gulf of Oman,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Monday. “The main purpose of the maneuvers is to ensure the safety of maritime economic activities.” Two Pacific Fleet ships, the Slava-class guided missile cruiser Varyag and the Udaloy-class frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, make up the Russian contingent in the exercises.

 
Boeing 737 Lands at Airport with Missing Exterior Panel

USA - Another one! A 25-year-old United Airlines Boeing 737 landed at an Airport in Oregon on Friday with a missing exterior panel. Per CNN: United Airlines Boeing 737-800 lands safely in Medford, Oregon with an under-fuselage panel missing. United says the issue was first discovered when parked at the gate. Friday’s problem with a missing airplane panel is at least the 8th time a Boeing aircraft was involved in an incident this year. A United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 suffered gear failure last Friday and crashed off the runway at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Friday’s gear failure comes one day after a United Airlines Boeing 777 plane was forced to make an emergency landing after it lost a tire during takeoff.

The Therapeutic Model Of Childrearing Is Destroying Kids’ Lives

USA - When undergraduates came through university education programs 30 years ago, professors drubbed into teacher candidates the importance of fostering in their students an internal locus of control, or the belief that one’s choices and actions drive one’s outcomes: If I choose not to do my homework, my grades will suffer because of my poor decision. Today, however, children learn exactly the opposite: If my grades are low, it’s because I have trauma, a learning disability, an emotional disability, an unaccommodating learning environment, an emotionally absent parent, or I’m being bullied, yadda, yadda, yadda. In other words, kids today are taught to have an external locus of control: Their failures are always someone else’s fault, and they can’t be expected to overcome difficulties because they’re just too broken and fragile.

The Male Version of Feminism

USA - One of the central premises of Cultural Marxism is the division of society into classes of oppressors and oppressed (be it whites versus non-whites, poor versus rich, etc) and thereby fomenting tensions between these segments, which the Left then leverages to push the radical changes they desire. The feminist movement is one of the most prominent varieties of Cultural Marxism; it destroys the interdependent and complementary partnership that naturally exists between men and women, replacing it with an enmity — positing that women are victims who must be delivered from the evils of patriarchy.

EU passes landmark AI law

EUROPE - The EU Parliament on Wednesday approved a regulation called the Artificial Intelligence Act aimed at ensuring the fast-changing technology remains safe and in compliance with fundamental human rights but also boosts innovation. The regulation, agreed in negotiations with member states this past December, was endorsed by MEPs with 523 votes in favor, 46 against, and 49 abstentions, according to a press release on the parliament’s website. “Europe is NOW a global standard-setter in AI,” Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for the internal market, wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "We are regulating as little as possible — but as much as needed!"

 
Raw sewage at US-Mexico border

USA - Raw sewage and runoff in the Tijuana River is exposing communities at the US-Mexico border to an unusual and noxious brew of pathogens and toxic chemicals, according to a report released this week. Billions of gallons of sewage flow through the river, which winds north from Mexico through California and empties into the Pacific Ocean, containing a mix of carcinogenic chemicals including arsenic, as well as viruses, bacteria and parasites, according to public health researchers at San Diego State University, who published the report. ‘You can taste it’: El Paso residents fear air pollution will worsen after border crossing upgrade. The researchers have called the situation “a pressing public health crisis”.

'Nature is revolting'

BRAZIL - The Bailique Archipelago, which sits at the crossroads of the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean, and saltwater intrusion — when salty seawater pushes upstream into freshwater — is a natural phenomenon. More frequent saltwater intrusion is making it harder for residents to gather potable water for their drinking and cooking needs, and many have turned to catching rainwater. It's also making the archipelago's main economic crop, açaí berries, salty in flavor. Meanwhile, erosion caused by changes to the Amazon's flow is destroying palm trees. While thousands of people have already fled the region, others, like boat pilot Aurélio Marques, struggle to adapt, according to Mongabay.

UK: Children will NOT be prescribed puberty-blockers

UK - Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS bosses announced today. Ministers hailed the landmark ruling, arguing it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the 'best interests of the child'. The powerful body-altering hormones, which can permanently weaken bones, will now only be available to children as part of clinical research trials. Puberty blockers are, however, still available, prescribed privately 'off-label' by some medics at non-NHS-based gender clinics. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss welcomed the move and urged the Government to back her own amendment to widen the ban to private clinics.

Britain has less to apologise for on slavery than any other nation on Earth

UK - There’s a lot of discussion nowadays about Britain’s history of involvement in slavery. Indeed there was a lot of actual, formal slavery here in Roman times and the Dark Ages, mostly imposed by white people on other white people. That gradually mutated into feudalism and so then into “freedom” for people living in England itself no matter what their skin colour: but nobody is very interested in that. The British (and other European/American traders) did not enslave the Africans: that was done by other Africans. African kings would typically sell off prisoners they had taken in wars or purposeful slave-taking raids against other nations.

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
