One of the best blessing from Jesus is that we don't worry about the futute, no matter how bad the world gets. We share in the blessed hope of the soon to be rapture. NATO is going to “build a bridge” towards Ukraine becoming a member state of the defensive alliance, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on the organization’s 75th birthday. North Atlantic Treaty Organisation member states met in Brussels at the alliance’s headquarters on Thursday to toast the 75th anniversary of its founding, among them U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken who like others used the occasion to discuss renewed Russian aggression and the potential place of Ukraine among its members. He emphasized the view, already articulated multiple times by NATO leaders in recent years, that “Ukraine will become a member of NATO." What he left unsaid, however, was the conditions that generally come with the statement, that this membership would be when Ukraine is in a fit state to join, including not being occupied by a foreign power. While Ukraine may be a way off formally joining NATO, individual members are storming ahead with creating ‘NATO-lite’ arrangements with Ukraine, by signing 10-year treaties with Kyiv promising further funding, support, and promising military aid if Russia invades the state again for the duration of the agreement. The eighth such NATO-lite paper was signed just yesterday with Finland, following the United Kingdom in January, then Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/04/04/ukraine-will-join-nato-says-antony-blinken/ The March jobs report released this week reveals one huge problem with Biden’s economy: Most of the jobs went to foreign-born workers – including illegal aliens. The media this week boasted about the March jobs report after nonfarm payrolls increased 300,000. “Nonfarm payrolls increased 303,000 for the month, well above the Dow Jones estimate for a rise of 200,000 and higher than the downwardly revised 270,000 gain in February, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.” the outlet reported. There’s one big problem: Native-born Americans are being frozen out of the workforce. Foreign-born workers – including illegals – got the majority of the March jobs. Furthermore, the 300,000 nonfarm payrolls added in March are all part-time! It’s all smoke and mirrors. Many Americans are working multiple jobs to make ends meet. Last year it was reported month after month that foreign-born workers were taking all the jobs while native- born-Americans lost their jobs. 1.2 million native-born Americans lost their jobs in August. 771,000 foreign-born workers replaced them. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/march-jobs-report-reveals-one-big-problem-bidens/ Like many reasonable Americans, I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the J6 defendants, their long sentences, and their harsh treatment. That would fit a disturbing pattern of the weaponization of government agencies — the DoJ, the IRS, the SEC, the FBI, etc. — against political opponents. One can, as I do, oppose Donald Trump and all he stands for, and still be disturbed by the weaponization of government against him. Instead of demonizing our opponents as apocalyptic threats to democracy, let’s focus on the issues and priorities of how they will govern, and defeat them at the ballot box rather than through legal maneuvers and dirty tricks. The growing “uncommitted” vote movement, which has caught fire in Democratic presidential nominating contests and led to reportedly 500,000 votes being cast nationally against President Joe Biden, is becoming a significant liability threatening his reelection prospects. Frustration with the Biden administration’s handling of Israel’s response to Hamas’s October terrorist attacks is mainly driving the “uncommitted” movement, and polling data reveals that there are substantial generational differences among American voters regarding the Israel-Hamas war and attitudes towards Palestinians and Israelis. Biden’s “uncommitted” problem is not just with Arab-American and Muslim-American voters, but with younger voters in general who are a critical component of the Democratic Party’s coalition. The “uncommitted” movement gained much more steam than expected at its inception with the Listen to Michigan campaign. The highly effective campaign, which the New York Times reported launched a mere three weeks before the February 27 primary and had a very modest $250,00o budget, led to more than 100,000 voters checking the “uncommitted” box in protest of Biden’s handling of the war. The vote total for “uncommitted” obliterated its initial goal by more than 90,000 votes in Michigan, and it has spread like wildfire to other states – especially in the Rust Belt, which had a major hand in deciding the last two elections. Now, the Nation’s John Nichols reports that upwards of 500,000 Democratic primary voters have protested Biden with their ballots. The movement now has delegates, “at least 25” of them, according to Nichols, “and continues to organize in late-primary and caucus states.” Listen to Michigan headed into the primary aiming to secure more than 10,000 votes, as NPR noted. The uncommitted turnout was ten-fold compared to the goal, as 101,430 Michigan Democrats (13.2 percent of primary voters) cast ballots for “uncommitted,” showing the sentiment is widely held. In the city of Dearborn, where local Arab-American and Muslim leaders reportedly snubbed Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez in January in an apparent silent form of protest, Biden lost by double digits percentage-wise to the uncommitted option.
