Christianity Grows in Iran

As followers of Christ in America, the news can seem to be 'bad' all around us.  But let's remember that there is some incredible news for the good happening in some of the worst places.

Iran is seeing a strong growth of Christianity, despite the Islamic regime's attempts to stifle it and impose absolutist Islamic rule across the country. 

The missionary group Elam Ministries estimates that there are upwards of 360,000 Christians living in Iran today, though this number is admittedly difficult to measure precisely due to the Islamic regime's efforts to crack down on churches, stop conversions and drive Christian worship underground. 

It is interesting to note that in 1979, the Iranian government claimed that there were as few as 500 Christians in the country.

The Center for Human Rights in Iran, a New York-based NGO, reported in July on the Iranian crackdown on Christians and Christian converts. In June 2017, 11 Christian converts, as well as the leader of Assyrian Pentecostal Church, were given long prison sentences for their religious activities. 

The Islamic government banned informal house churches several years ago, requiring all "official" Christian churches to register with the government and submit to constant monitoring. The regime believed that so long as Christianity can be isolated among a minority of the population and not allowed to influence any of its Muslim citizens, it can be allowed to exist, but this strategy has proven ineffective in silencing God's word.

The Ayatollah Alavi Boroujerdi recently stated to the Iranian media that "accurate reports indicate that the youth are becoming Christians in Qom and attending house churches." Qom is among the most devout Islamic cities in Iran and, thus, waves of conversions to Christianity there are likely to result in a ripple effect across the country. 

Indeed, another senior religious official, the cleric Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has also expressed concern that Iranian teens and young adults are being converted to Christianity. For a government that depends on Islam for its control over its subjects, such conversions are a direct threat to its power.

Jesus clearly told us that even the gates of hell will never stop the Gospel from advancing and for Jesus to continually build up his bride, the church.  It may slow down in America but it is advancing in many other places that aren't so obvious.

Is President Pence in our Near Future?

Here is an interesting possibility.   The forces of the world that hate nationalism and desire globalism are ultimately going to suck Trump dry...and the way will then be cleared for President Pence...who may be the most Biblical literate Vice President that this nation has seen in decades.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has issued an ominous warning regarding President Trump's future in the White House, asserting that he is being politically sucked dry before an eventual ouster and replacement by Vice President Mike Pence.

Assange tweeted his thoughts on Thursday.

"Trump's political capital has been openly looted for months now by GOP, CIA, Netanyahu, Goldman Sachs, etc.," he wrote. "Game is clearly to extract as many unpopular positions as possible (e.g tax cuts for the super rich), push the resulting political corpse to Mueller & install Mike Pence."

President Trump has proven himself as one of the most resilient and stalwart political figures in all of American history, but the forces working in concert against him cannot be underestimated, and it is clear that there are many special interests hoping to ride the Trump Train to their own ends.

Assange is not alone in this thinking.

In April of 2017, Drudge Report honcho Matt Drudge tweeted, "Paul Ryan strategy is waiting for Pence to get sworn in as President…"

The following month, Politico floated the same idea - tying Trump's potential fall to his firing of former FBI director, James Comey, and the impending appointment of Robert Mueller as special prosecutor in the now-out-of-control 'Russian collusion' investigation.

“Some conservatives are hinting that Pence looks like a particularly good alternative right now, especially as the Justice Department moves ahead with a special prosecutor for the FBI’s Russia probe,” Politico reported. “The pining for Pence is nothing new, however. From Capitol Hill to K Street, the notion that many Republicans prefer Pence to Trump in the Oval Office is perhaps the worst-kept secret in Washington."

As the wheels come off Mueller's Russia probe, the establishment is gearing up for its next assault on Trump, bringing back some of the women who accused him of sexual assault during the run-up to the 2016 presidential election - and possibly preparing even bolder stunts on this front.

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly dropped a bombshell during an interview with Glenn Beck earlier this week, claiming that anti-Trump operatives have been on the hunt for women who can be bribed lavishly in order to go on record with accusations of Trump sexually assaulting or harassing them.

"There is an audio tape of an anti-Trump person offering $200,000 dollars to a woman to accuse Donald Trump of untoward behavior,” O'Reilly told Beck, adding, "I can tell you that Donald Trump knows about the tape. The President knows."

We have no idea if this is all true...if this is at all possible or even likely.

What we do know is that Bible believers don't have any anxiety over all this drama....because we KNOW that God is in control. 

If Trump was elected by God's allowance....so will Pence get set up.  If not, then God has some more use for Trump.

Stealing Bitcoins to Fund Rocket Man’s Nukes?

We have wondered where Rocket Man of North Korea is getting his money for all these high priced nukes and missiles?

Maybe he is stealing bitcoin?

North Korean hackers may be targeting South Korean bitcoins, according to CNN.

The news network reports they appear to be amassing the cryptocurrency by a combination of threats, theft and “mining,” which refers to the process of creating bitcoins by solving complex mathematical problems online. South Korean police told CNN that in July and August of this year employees at four exchanges that trade bitcoins received “malicious” emails.

The precise nature of those emails is unclear, but reports suggest that some may have contained ransom demands. As outlets like Forbes have explained, hackers linked to North Korea have been acquiring bitcoins by using “ransomware,” which is malware (malicious software) that targets a victim’s data and essentially holds it hostage until a ransom—in these cases, a bitcoin ransom—is paid.

"It is a fact that North Korea has been attacking virtual currency exchanges," Lee Dong-geun, a director with South Korea's state-run Korea Internet and Security Agency, told CNN. "We don't know how much North Korea has stolen so far, but we do know that the police have confirmed the regime's hacking attempts."

Bryce Boland, a Singapore-based chief technology officer with cybersecurity firm FireEye, told CNN that North Korea is likely training large numbers of bitcoin experts, which would mean such attacks will increase.

"They could do those transactions very quickly ... and avoid traceability of the cash," Boland told CNN.

Clearly, the future world leader is going to have to get control of the monetary system!  We can't have hackers stealing money and using it for nefarious purposes!  And we can't have drug lords and sex traffickers using cash that's untraceable!!

Hey!  Here is an idea.....let's make everyone get a mark on their forehead or arm that has to be swiped in front of a scanner in order to BUY OR SELL ANYTHING!!

Revelation 13
16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

PBS Suspends Another TV Man

Liberal PBS first off had to can Charlie Rose.  Next up was Garrison Kielor.  Today we learn that Tavis Smiley is also gone.

They just got rid of some of their top-rated men!  What's next for PBS?

PBS will no longer distribute Tavis Smiley following what a spokeswoman called "multiple, credible" allegations of sexual misconduct uncovered by a recent investigation into the late-night show host's behavior.

News of the suspension of Smiley's show, produced by TS Media, an independent production company, was first reported by Variety.

In a statement, PBS Vice President for Corporate Communications Jennifer R. Byrne said the company had engaged an outside law firm to investigate "troubling allegations regarding Mr. Smiley."

"This investigation included interviews with witnesses as well as with Mr. Smiley. The inquiry uncovered multiple, credible allegations of conduct that is inconsistent with the values and standards of PBS, and the totality of this information led to today's decision," she said.

According to Variety:

"The investigation found credible allegations that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates, sources said. Some witnesses interviewed expressed concern that their employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with Smiley. In general, witnesses described Smiley as creating a verbally abusive and threatening environment that went beyond what could be expected in a typical high-pressure work environment. Several expressed concerns about retaliation."

It is interesting that the organizations and news outlets that go hardest after Trump...seem to end up falling themselves.

Could this have anything to do with the seemingly supernatural election of Donald Trump?

Muslim Scholar Tells Truth That Muslims Have No Claim to Jerusalem

The truth can hurt!

And when it's a Muslim scholar clearly telling his fellow Muslims that they have no historic or legal claim to Jerusalem....that can be especially painful.

Mobarak Haidar, a renowned Pakistani historian and author of multiple books, declared to the “Muslims of the world” that they “have no religious basis to rule Jerusalem.”

Following President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Haidar wrote in his Facebook page regarding “Jerusalem and Muslim Claims,” debunking various myths surrounding the city, which has been the capital of the Jewish people for the last 3,000 years, long before Islam was conceived.

Regarding the Muslim claim that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, situated on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, is supposedly mentioned in the Quran, the Pakistani historian explained: “The Holy Quran spoke of Al-Aqsa Mosque when it was not a ‘mosque’ in the Islamic sense. It was a holy place because of the prophets of Israel, from Moses to Jesus. It was the holy spot of worship for Jews and Christians.”

“Obviously, there were no Muslims in the city of Jerusalem till the era of Emir-ul-Momineen Umar ibn Khattab … . The Prophet [Muhammad] and his followers prayed with their faces toward this Jewish-Christian holy temple because Kaaba (the present center of Islamic Hajj) was full of idols,” Haidar pointed out, according to a translation of his Facebook post by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Jerusalem appears in the Hebrew Bible 669 times, but is not once directly mentioned by name in the Quran.

“After the ‘Conquest of Mecca,’ Muslims were told to turn their faces toward Kaaba and away from Jerusalem. They have never faced their loyalty toward Jerusalem after that, for the last 1,400 years. No Muslim ever went to pray in Jerusalem till it was conquered by the second caliph [Umar ibn Khattab in the 7th century] although there was no restriction on Muslims,” he wrote.

“Christians were masters of Jerusalem before Muslims conquered it. It is still a holy place for Christians. But Christians have no dispute over ownership of the city. It is their religious right to visit the holy city; and the Jews do not stop them,” he underscored.

“Muslims, too, should have the same religious rights, and in fact they have those rights; Jews do not stop them,” Haidar wrote.

Therefore, “Muslims of the world have no religious basis to rule Jerusalem. Most of the Muslims have never even wished to visit Jerusalem,” he said.

https://unitedwithisrael.org/scholar-of-islam-muslims-have-no-religious-basis-to-rule-jerusalem/

Please keep praying for Donald Trump and our other leaders in Washington!  The rest of the world hates to hear truth.  They would rather stay in darkness and believe the lies fabricated by the Evil One

Jesus clearly said that he came to bring the truth so that the truth will set us free.  Set free from what?  The lies of the evil one!  And currently he has convinced the world of the lie that Jerusalem belongs, in part, to the Arab Muslims.

NBC Celebrated Matt Lauer’s Pervy Ways

It's interesting to watch as this nation goes through it's gyrations of trying to figure out which of our men are sexually inappropriate and worthy of firing, verses men who are flirting with women, many of which feed off the attention of men.

And now when the winds of HARASSMENT begin to shift....these same women might be tempted to re-imagine what actually happened to them 30 years ago....especially if there could be a paycheck from an attorney involved.

So today we find out that Matt Lauer was most likely OVER THE LINE in his sex games at work.  But we also find out that the NBC Execs and all the women he worked with, WERE NOT IN THE DARK about his pervy ways.  Many were not only aware of it....they celebrated it.

Last week, NBC’s own Joe Scarborough, who attended the roast but said he left early, feeling uncomfortable, brought it up on “Morning Joe.” Lauer’s peccadillos, he said, were not just known about. At the roast, they were celebrated.

“The whole theme was that he does the show and then he has sex with people, with employees,” Scarborough said. “So was this whispered behind closed doors? No. It was shouted from the mountaintops and everybody laughed about it.”

The 2008 Friars Club roast took place at the New York Hilton and was attended by everyone from future President Donald Trump to TV legend Norman Lear to a constellation of New York’s media elite including Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Nancy O’Dell and Howard Stern. Also on hand were numerous top executives from across the business and almost everyone who was anyone at NBC News. Fox News has confirmed many details of the roast with a media executive who attended, and has also drawn on the one contemporaneous account of the roast, which appeared in The Village Voice.

Speaker Martha Stewart joked, “I hear NBC executives call Matt the ‘Cock of the Rock',” according to The Voice.

Another of the roast’s speakers was current CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker ─ then the chairman of NBC Universal ─ who last week adamantly denied that he had any idea about Lauer’s in-office sexcapades.

“It’s just good to see Matt up here and not under my desk,” Zucker said from the podium. “I don’t want to say Matt is a germophobe, but he’s the only guy I know who uses Purell both before and after he masturbates.”

Zucker also made a pointed allusion to Lauer’s marital problems.

“Matt was having some trouble at home with the wife,” he said. “He was sleeping on Bryant Gumbel’s couch.” Lauer and Gumbel,  a former “Today” host who is black, are known to be close friends. “What’s more boring than that?” Zucker joked. “Two white men watching golf.”

Then “Today” co-host Meredith Vieira was especially crude, making jokes about Lauer and Roker partaking in anal sex during the Turin Olympics, with Roker as the receiving partner. Former “Today” star Katie Couric went next, reading a David Letterman-style Top 10 list of facts about Lauer. Among the digs, “No. 10 - According to his wife, he’s not really an early riser, if you know what I mean.”

But a shot at Lauer’s in-office relationship with Curry, who was in the room, got the biggest laugh of Couric’s routine.

“No. 2 - He loves to eat Curry,” she said as Curry (sitting in the audience) went pale and the crowd roared with laughter. “What? Indian food! What’s wrong with you people?”

Comic Bob Saget eventually took the stage to offer Lauer some marriage advice: “Do what I’m doing, Matt. Come into the Dark Side. My next wife hasn’t even been born yet.”

Another comedian ─ one attendee believes it was comedian Jeff Ross ─ made racist jokes about Lauer using a naked Roker on all fours as his coffee table.

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried was so obscene that Fox News can’t even publish a highly expurgated version of his material, but part of his racist routine – filled with Asian sex jokes about Ann Curry –included detailed remarks about Curry’s genitals.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/12/05/media-elite-laughed-at-2008-roast-sending-matt-lauer-s-pervy-behavior.html

As you read these jokes, it appears that NBC men and women actually cultivated an office filled with sexual innuendos.  So it makes one wonder when the rest of NBC will fall?

Turkey Threatens to Wipe Out Jews

Most of you know that Muslims have a prophecy where the trees and rocks will cry out and say "oh Muslim!  Here is a Jew hiding behind me!  Come and kill him!"

So as you read this article from the Muslim leader of Turkey....think about it.

President Obama praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as “a man of action” and one of the five world leaders with whom he had the strongest bond. President Trump met with him at the White House last spring.

 

And certainly Erdogan has tried to portray himself to Western leaders as a pragmatist with whom they can work.

 

But at a convention of his ruling party Sunday, Erdogan invoked a Muslim hadith — a collection of the accounts and sayings of Muhammad — that made clear his view of Jews and the state of Israel, according to dissident Turkish journalist Abdullah Bozkurt, the Investigative Project on Terrorism reported.

 

“Those who think they own Jerusalem better know that tomorrow they won’t be able to hide behind trees,” Erdogan said, according to Bozkurt.

 

That statement essentially is an affirmation of a prophecy that all Jews will one day be destroyed, the journalist said.

 

Bozkurt explained Erdogan was making “a veiled threat of killing each and every Jew with a shocking reference to apocalyptic prophecy of tree story.”

 

The Turkish leader was responding to President Trump’s decision last week to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to begin the process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Rocket Man Climbs Mt Pikachu in Dress Shoes

For those of you who don't remember this....the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, says he is a god and they constantly tell this to the North Koreans.  If they don't believe it and say it, they can be sent to concentrations camps and/or killed.

The North Korean government controlled media also does its part in upholding this charade.

Today we find that Kim Jong can climb mountains in dress shoes and he can also control the weather.

Dictator Kim Jong-un controlled the weather as he scaled a 9,000ft sacred mountain wearing just black leather shoes, North Korea's state media claim.

Deep snow and frigid temperatures of -20C were no match for the hermit state's leader as he climbed Mount Paektu, the country's highest peak, it was claimed.

There was a blizzard but Kim 'controlled nature' during the climb, as the nasty weather conditions cleared and made way for "dazzling sunshine" and clear blue skies, state media said.

The report claims the mountain offered a "warm welcome" to the dictator as it showed "joy at the appearance of the peerlessly illustrious commander who controls nature".

The visit has sparked speculation that Kim was planning a significant event, as leaders' past visits have been followed by important decisions or acts, including executions.

I'm not sure how you negotiate with a "god"? 

I'm also not sure if you just laugh at this guy and believe he's too delusional to be any danger....or if you attempt to wipe him out using military options because the dude has nuclear weapons and could potentially destroy a large portion of the world.

The Second Coming Brought to you by--Who Else? Donald Trump

Here is an article plucked off of Yahoo News.

As you read it, see if you can catch the sneering and mocking by the author.

Anyone happen to know where I can get hold of 13 young bullocks, two rams and 14 yearling lambs without blemish? (let the mocking begin!)

I’m asking in order to prepare for the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem, as prophesied in the Bible, a precondition for the end times and the Rapture and the Second Coming, all set in motion by a proclamation from Donald Trump.

A lot has been written in the past week about the geopolitical implications of Trump’s announcement that the United States, departing from most of the rest of the world, would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and begin the process of relocating its embassy there. Most of the Israeli political establishment — from the far-right parties to the center left — greeted it enthusiastically; the Palestinians, who want Jerusalem, or some of it, for the capital of their own future state, were angry, warning it could spark another uprising, or intifada. But few were as excited by the news as Trump’s own evangelical supporters in America, who greeted the announcement, I think one can say, rapturously.

“Now, I don’t know about you, but when I heard about Jerusalem, where the King of Kings — where our soon-coming king — is coming back to Jerusalem, it is because President Trump declared Jerusalem to be capital of Israel.” That was a Florida state senator named Doug Broxson, introducing Trump at a rally in Pensacola, Fla., Friday night, cheered by a large crowd of believers eager to get on with the thousand-year reign of Jesus they were promised in Sunday school.

And who doubts that this is within Trump’s power? Not Trump himself, who had boasted a few days earlier that under his administration, “Christmas is back, bigger and better than ever before.” Most Christians, I imagine, think that it would be pretty hard to improve on the first one, but Trump has never been one to refrain from blowing his own trumpet.

In the days after Trump’s announcement, Diana Butler Bass, a historian and authority on evangelical Christianity in America, sent out a series of tweets that laid out in simple terms what all this means to the tens of millions of his most ardent followers:

Here;  https://www.yahoo.com/news/second-coming-brought-else-donald-trump-171859591.html?.tsrc=fauxdal

I'm going to make a huge bet that lots and lots of folks in Noah's day were also sneering and mocking at him as he faithfully spent 120 years building an ark.

They knew NOTHING of what was coming until the flood waters carrying them all away to their destruction.

Jesus said it will be "as it was in the Days of Noah".

These mocking brutes know NOTHING of The Great Tribulation that will also carry them away to their destruction...and yet the signs of the coming Tribulation are literally everywhere.

2 Thess. 1
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

The Real Palestinian Response to Trump Announcement

As you read this article, keep in mind that yesterday a Palestinian ambulance was seen carting masked-men to protests around the city.  Yep!  They totally stage these protests for Western media consumption.

CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN all need to get a photo for their story on Trump's Jerusalem announcement.  And since they are run by liberals who have a bend against Israel....they HOPE that their dream of chaos is realized...so they look for photos of "widespread chaos" in which to beam to their consumers.

In reality, there are a few hundred men who dropped their chess game to go burn a Trump photo and a US flag...but they make sure that they wait for the camera crews to be there BEFORE they light the flag.

Again...no wonder Trump is calling out this crap as FAKE NEWS!

A short three hours after US President Donald Trump phoned Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas to inform him of his intention to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a number of Palestinian photojournalists received a phone call from Bethlehem.

The callers were Palestinian "activists," who invited the photographers to come to the city to document an "important event." When the photographers arrived, they discovered that the "important event" was a handful of Palestinian "activists" who wanted to burn posters of Trump in front of the cameras.

The "activists" waited patiently as the photojournalists and cameramen set up their equipment to get the "important event" on film. Shortly thereafter, the media was abuzz with reports about "angry Palestinian protesters taking to the streets to protest" Trump's intention to move the embassy to Jerusalem and his recognition of the city as the capital of Israel. The handful of Palestinians who were filmed burning the Trump pictures were made to look as if they were part of a mass protest sweeping Palestinian communities.

The incident represents yet another example of the collusion between the Palestinians and the media, whose representatives are always more than happy to serve as mouthpieces for the Palestinian propaganda machine and provide an open platform for broadcasting Palestinian threats against Israel and the US.

Had the photographers and cameramen not shown up to the erstwhile "spontaneous" poster-burning event, the Palestinian activists would have been forced to quietly slink back to one of Bethlehem's fine coffee shops.

Yet, there was no worry on that score: the Palestinian activists are well aware that local and foreign reporters are starving for sensationalism -- and what better fits the bill than posters of Trump going up in flames in the middle of the birthplace of Jesus, on the eve of Christmas and as thousands of Christian pilgrims and tourists are converging on the city?

What Are the Signs of the Times?

It seems that with every single day we wake up to news of the biggest fire EVER, the biggest quake EVER, the largest mass shooting EVER, the largest animal die-off EVER, the biggest hurricane EVER, etc...

So are these all part of an increasing intensity of what Jesus told us to watch for?

Could these all be the SIGNS OF THE TIMES?

There are, then, these five major signs of the times:

1;  The countdown beginning with the return of Israel to its ancient homeland and being established as a nation among nations;
2;  Russia—Gog of the far north, as identified in Ezekiel 38—is in position in the Middle East to launch the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38-39;
3;  The surprising upset of planned, political positioning to destroy the sovereignty of America and usher in a New World Order to establish a one-world government. The return to economic, social and financial health and rejection of globalism, as the Trump election created and revealed the prophecy of Jesus of that occurrence in Luke 17:26-37;
4:  The unabashed rise of lawlessness and rebellion against the rule of law and the application of justice without special favor, along with morality being publicly destroyed. It is the description of the “falling away” from the faith and rejection of lawfulness;
5;  The coming confirmation of a covenant that gives peace to Israel for seven years and launches that seven years of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” and judgment of earth dwellers. Believers in Christ will have been snatched out of the path of wrath in the Rapture of the saints.

All the while in the background of these events, there will be turmoil and tragedy in abundance and in increasing intensity: “Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:10-11).

Also Jesus said, “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26). But even then, the great wrath of God is still ahead.

For believers in Christ, however, “God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,” as it says in the context above. And, as the Scriptures close out the Revelation, “Even so, Lord Jesus, come!”

http://www.raptureready.com/2017/12/08/what-are-the-signs-of-the-times-by-gene-lawley/

Of course we have NO IDEA WHEN The Lord Jesus is coming back in the clouds to snatch his bride away like a thief...but we do claim the promise of 1 Thessalonians 5:4..."But, you brothers, are not in darkness that this day should surprise you."

And with all that is going on in the world and the focus being on Jerusalem...I wouldn't be surprised at all if a loud trumpet sounded and all followers of Christ went to meet him in the sky!

Muslim Blows Himself Up in NYC and Mayor Thanks God

Leftists are so dense...it sometimes makes my head hurt.

As a Muslim was attempting to blow himself up and kill as many innocents as possible...we have the NYC liberal Mayor saying;

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called the explosion an "attempted terror attack" and said there were no additional known incidents.

"Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. Thank God our first responders were there so quickly to address the situation," 

Here;  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nyc-authorities-respond-explosion-port-authority-bus-terminal-n828331

So wait....the bomber WAS PRAYING to his god that the bomb would go off and cause unimaginable death and destruction.  His god is a demon-god they call Allah.  Also the god that ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, Boko Haram, Taliban, Al Qiada and every other Islamic terror group prays to.

But the Mayor wants to thank God that it didn't go off so as to achieve the bomber's ultimate goals?

So Mayor Bill, IF you do actually pray?  Who are you praying to? 

Newsflash to liberal-leftists;  ALL GODS ARE NOT THE SAME GOD! 

There is ONLY one true God and that would be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel).  All others are false gods who report to Satan.

"You are either FOR me or AGAINST me."--Jesus

CNN Reports on Trump Soda Drinking Habits While Terrorist Attack Unfolds in NYC

This is a pretty funny story...and it fits in nicely in the ongoing feud between Trump and CNN.

An attempted terrorist attack caused massive chaos during Monday morning’s rush hour in New York City, but some CNN viewers could be in the dark because the network spent an inordinate amount of time covering an anti-Trump story about the president’s soda consumption while details of the chaotic situation unfolded.

At 8:45 a.m. ET a law enforcement official told reporters, including the Associated Press, that a man had a pipe bomb strapped to him when it went off on a New York City subway platform. That was roughly the same time that CNN was in the middle of a segment that featured the chyron, “NYT Report: Trump drinks a dozen diet cokes per day,” while a large graphic promoting Tuesday’s Election Night in Alabama took up a significant portion of the screen. 

Viewers quickly took notice. Media crisis guru Yossi Gestetner tweeted, “More than an hour after the pipe-bomb story broke, CNN was busy with Trump’s diet Coke,” while another viewer asked, “Why are you talking about this!”

“Astonishing how quickly CNN pivoted from NYC explosion to ridiculous story Trump drinking a lot of Diet Coke,” Newsbusters Senior Editor Rich Noyes tweeted.

Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor used the situation to mock CNN’s recent ad campaign in which the network uses an apple in an attempt to combat its “fake news” reputation.

“U.S. News was talking about the bombing at 7:54. Nearly an hour later, CNN is whining about Donald Trump drinks Diet Cokes and watches too much TV instead of reporting about terrorism in New York City,” Gainor told Fox News. “CNN might tell you what it's giving you is an apple, but if it is, it's rotten.”

Here;  http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/12/11/cnn-mocked-for-airing-segment-on-trumps-soda-consumption-while-nyc-faced-terror-attack.html

Of course the attacker in NYC was a....wait for it....Muslim.  Gonna guess he screamed "Allahu Akbar!" before he blew up?

It just shows how much CNN hates Trump when they spend a news segment reporting on his Diet Coke drinking and TV watching.

It will be interesting to see if CNN crashes and burns as it gets consumed by its desire to unseat Trump from office.
