USA - The National Weather Service has issued a warning about a massive heat wave that will tip the United States out of the frying pan and into the fire. Forecasters are calling for the worst heat of the year in the next few days, culminating on a blistering July 20 Saturday. The temperatures will reach “dangerously high levels by the weekend.” New York City is expected to reach an asphalt-melting 107 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the city’s emergency management office and health department. Thus far, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma have each issued “excessive heat” warnings to many of their residents. Temperatures in the area could reach as high as 113 degrees.

ISRAEL - Israel’s extreme heatwave, responsible for sparking several wildfires throughout the country, has reached a record-breaking peak of 49.9 degrees Celsius in Sodom, near the Dead Sea. Wednesday’s temperature is the highest ever recorded since Israel was founded in 1948, and the second highest since national weather records began in the 1920s, according to the Israel Meteorological Service. Rescue services reportedly said at least 140 people were treated by emergency crews for heat-related symptoms throughout the day. Emergency services have also been battling several wildfires that broke out in Aderet, central Israel, sparking widespread evacuations.

USA - The northeastern United States will sizzle this week as summer heat builds to near-record levels in some places, with many metropolitan areas experiencing the hottest air temperatures of the summer so far as a heat wave envelopes a wide swath of the United States. In the nation's capital, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures on Saturday are forecast to reach 110 F, just 2 degrees shy of the RealFeel Temperature forecast for Death Valley, California, on the same day. Washington, DC, will also swelter with a forecast high of 100; however, the nation's capital likely won't break its daily and all-time high of 106 hit on July 20, 1930, about 12 years after the mercury hit 106 in 1918.

GERMANY - Could it be possible that we are on the verge of the next “Lehman Brothers moment”? Deutsche Bank is the most important bank in all of Europe, it has 49 trillion dollars in exposure to derivatives, and most of the largest “too big to fail banks” in the United States have very deep financial connections to the bank. In other words, the global financial system simply cannot afford for Deutsche Bank to fail, and right now it is literally melting down right in front of our eyes.

ISRAEL - Paid propagandists for the radical anti-Israel group IfNotNow recently confronted presidential candidates in New Hampshire, demanding that the candidates support ending the presence of Jewish homes and communities in the historic Jewish homeland – land that the Jewish people are entitled to under international law. But that’s not exactly how IfNotNow’s paid agitators put it. The IfNotNow agitators dishonestly asked the candidates to support “ending the occupation” – an Orwellian phrase that belies the fact that there is no “occupation.” The Jewish people are not “occupiers” of our own land.

USA - It came as a shock when news came out that the pastor of Atlanta’s Little Rock Missionary Church Of God was gay. The online community came out guns blazing, quoting the scriptures as they rebuked the pastor. However, that wasn’t enough to make members of the church walk out or even consider changing their denomination.

VATICAN - We, moreover, proclaim, declare and pronounce that it is altogether necessary to salvation for every human being to be subject to the Roman Pontiff. Source: Pope Boniface VIII, Bull Unam Sanctam, promulgated November 18, 1302. Liberally minded Catholic apologists will sometimes suggest that Boniface VIII meant to apply his remark only to Catholics, and that Protestants are not automatically excluded from salvation by it. However the Latin text (in David S Schaff, The Middle Ages [Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Volume 5 New York: Scribner, 1910], part 2, page 28) reads omni humanae creaturae (“every human creature”). The title of the bull, Unam Sanctam (One Holy Church) and its last sentence make clear that Boniface VIII was declaring that submission to the Pope of the Holy See of Rome of the Catholic Church was the only means of salvation and that those resisting that presumed authority were lost souls. Conservative traditional Catholics will staunchly defend the statement that “Outside the Catholic Church there is no Salvation”, and will cite Unam Sanctam as proof positive.

USA - If the left has its way in the next few years, there won’t be anyone left in prison because, you see, they’re overflowing with innocent black men locked up for “nonviolent drug crimes.” All of them! Over the weekend, NBC News investigative reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell appeared on MSNBC’s “Kasie DC” to tell the story of Bill Underwood, loving parent and prison mentor, who has already spent nearly 30 years in prison for a nonviolent drug crime.

USA - As the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to unfold, a laundry list of celebrities, business magnates and socialites who have flown anywhere near the registered sex offender's orbit are now tainted with pedo-polonium. Many of them, such as Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak, and Victoria's Secret boss Les Wexner have sought to distance themselves from Epstein and his activities - however their attempts have fallen on deaf ears considering their extensive ties to the pedophile. As Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman notes, "The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about Epstein’s alleged abuse? How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously lenient non-prosecution. In due time the names are going to start coming out."

USA - The Jeffrey Epstein child molestation case made big headlines because of just how close he is to many in power or at least with great pull in Washington and the fact that he had already been busted and possibly used said pull to stay out of jail certainly adds to the drama. Although many people can get photographed with celebrities who don’t really know them or claim to be “friends” with this or that person who’s on TV, most media breakdowns of this case put Epstein as, at the very least, a known associate and maybe even actual friend of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump and others of their social rank. When someone who has abused large numbers of underage girls at his home also chit chats with the US President, this raises eyebrows and shocks the public. But sadly the public should no longer be shocked as there is a crisis of child abuse and rape throughout the halls of power in nations across the Western World.

TURKEY - Turkey has blasted the US decision to kick it out of the F-35 fighter jet program, in response to Ankara buying Russian S-400 air defense systems, as a mistake that will cause permanent damage to the US-Turkish relations. After repeatedly threatening that Turkey would be removed from the F-35 program if it went ahead with taking delivery of the S-400s, Washington did just that, citing concerns that the Russian technology can be used to gain intelligence on the jet’s “advanced capabilities.” While cutting Turkey off, the US said it could still be reinstated in the F-35 program – if it ditches the Russian missiles, something that the Turkish government has ruled out. Moreover, Ankara hinted it would want to go “much further” in its “joint weapons production” with Moscow.

USA - I know that this headline is alarming, but it is actually a direct quote from a notice that was recently posted in a Kroger supermarket.  And as you will see below, similar notices are being posted in the canned vegetable sections of Wal-Mart stores nationwide.  I would encourage you to examine the evidence in this article very carefully and to come to your own conclusions about what is happening. 

USA - A series of incidents that have occurred in close proximity to each other over the past several days is leading many to believe that technology is failing society and that US infrastructure is collapsing faster than previously believed. On Saturday, a wide swath of Manhattan’s West Side was plunged into darkness for several hours, and the electric company officials responsible for providing the power — Con Edison — are not sure why the failure occurred.

USA - As birth rates plummet in the US, greater numbers of Americans are opting to skip the joys of parenthood – some seeking personal happiness and freedom, others to save a dying planet. In a new film, RTD gave their views a hearing. The Center for Disease Control has warned that birth and fertility rates in the US are not sufficient for the current generation to replace itself. For Mike Pesci, the decision is about reducing the amount of pain and anguish in the world. “I feel like bringing children into the world is bringing suffering into the world, in a weird way,” Pesci, a dog walker from Longmont, Colorado, explained. “You take things that already need love and give them love, there’s no reason to make something else that you need to give your love to.” “It’s very convenient to not have kids, too,” he added with a laugh.

USA - A report published on Tuesday by the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, revealed that 13,400 of the city’s homeless population had jobs in 2017 while another 18,000 had a college education. The report challenges long held stereotypes concerning the homeless that include the false idea that anyone with a steady job or college education is immune from one of life’s most difficult experiences. After examining 2017 census data, the Chicago Coalition of the Homeless (CCH) found that about 86,000 people experienced homelessness in the city at some point during the year.
