Starting Point

JOE BIDEN: BOSS OF THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY | Rudy Giuliani | Ep 175
Story by Brandon Weichert 

Joe Biden: President or ‘Head of a Crime Family’?
image.pngNews is leaking out from behind the veil of lies the Democrats and their media
allies have shrouded around at least six more members of the Biden Crime Family
have financially benefited from Hunter Biden’s many illicit international schemes.
This brings the total members of the Biden clan who’ve been enriched by Hunter’s
illegal activities to nine.

The real question remains: what about “The Big Guy”?
Representative James Comer (R-KY) has been leading the righteous investigation into
the controversial First Son. As he stated in a recent press conference about the revelations of more Biden Family members benefiting from Hunter Biden’s globetrotting activities, “The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s career and also his connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden Family.” 

And just who has paid for Hunter Biden’s “services”? 
A multiplicity of bad actors from around the world, it turns out. It was Hunter who infamously sat on the board of Ukrainian energy conglomerate Burisma for years, at one point in his five years on the board, earning upwards of $80,000 a week. Other notable members of that board were none other than former CIA Counterterrorism Center (CTC) director, Cofer Black. In fact, Burisma’s board was a who’s-who of Western leaders, such as former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski.

Anatomy of Corruption
Burisma, the company in question, had long been under investigation by various Ukrainian governments for suspected corruption (Ukraine itself has long been listed
as the most corrupt country in Europe).
According to Daria Kaleniuk, the head of the nongovernmental Anti-Corruption Action Center based in Kiev, Ukraine, the reason Burisma was “inviting people with such names was to whitewash was to whitewash their reputation and to present themselves as a company doing legitimate business in Ukraine.”

More than that, however, I’d like to posit that Burisma was ensnaring individuals with deep connections to Western intelligence services in order to insulate the company from criminal prosecution. Critics of U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine have long argued that Ukraine was little more than a money-laundering spot for Western intelligence services.
The presence of people like Cofer Black and Hunter Biden lends some credence to these claims. After all, Hunter Biden has zero expertise in energy markets. But he does provide direct linkages for his clients to his powerful father. And for a fee, as we’ve seen, Hunter Biden is willing to connect those clients to his Old Man in the White House.

Today, the world stands at the precipice of a nuclear world war because the United States continues beating the war drums in Ukraine—even as the rest of the world seeks a peaceful solution. It makes little strategic sense for the Americans under the leadership of President Joe Biden to have taken such a fanatical stance on such a small country, like Ukraine.
Of course, if Joe Biden and the rest of his family had benefited from large payouts from powerful Ukrainians over the years, the forty-sixth president’s loyalty to Ukraine would have been purchased. Maybe Vladimir Putin should’ve spent more time buying Hunter Biden and his father and less time purchasing tanks to defeat Ukraine.

The Bidens Problems Look Bad
The Chinese learned the lesson, too. Since the 1970s, when Joe Biden was first elected
to the United States Senate, he was a supporter of normalizing relations with the People’s
Republic of China.
It was Biden who, as a Senator on the prestigious Senate Foreign Relations Committee, shepherded China’s push to get into the World Trade Organization (WTO). For the record, the moment that China became a preferred trading partner with the United States and, later, a member of the WTO, China’s rise into a major threat to the United States was assured.

While his father was vice-president in the Obama Administration, Hunter Biden
routinely traveled with Joe Biden aboard Air Force Two to China. As then-Vice-President Joe Biden was conducting affairs of state in China, his son was finalizing deals also worth hundreds of millions of dollars with Chinese state-owned enterprises. Ten percent of the money Hunter made from setting up those transactions was siphoned off to Joe Biden.

At least according to both a former business partner of Hunter’s, Tony Bobulinski, 
as well as Hunter Biden himself. A leaked text message from 2019 has the First Son complaining to his daughter, Naomi, about how Joe Biden was basically garnishing
the First Son’s wages. “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years unlike , I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
It is obvious to all but the most partisan hack that Hunter Biden is not only corrupt but that he is a cutout for a much larger scheme involving his entire family—with his father
as the unnamed ringleader. This Chinese connection is the most troubling.

China Has Friends in High Places
Just look at what the last three years of the Biden Administration has wrought.
Never would we have honestly considered that the US dollar would be removed 
as the world’s reserve currency. Yet, that is precisely what is at play here.
Before the rise of Joe Biden to the presidency, China was a minor player in
places far afield, like the Middle East or Latin America.
Today, China is displacing the United States everywhere—even in Europe, where Joe Biden is risking a nuclear third world war with Russia to ostensibly maintain America’s dominant position there, the Chinese are edging the Yanks out.
Is this merely incompetence by Joe Biden or is he serving the interests of Beijing?
Before you scoff at that, remember what the vice dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University, Di Dongshengsaid after Biden was elected to the presidency in 2020. Joe Biden: President or ‘Head of a Crime Family’? – Bing video
“We have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America’s
core inner circle of power and also influence.” Professor Di then added ominously,
“Who helped build the foundations? There are a lot of deals inside all these.” Got it?

Impeach Joe Biden!
Joe Biden is the patriarch of a crime family, the members of which have
been thoroughly compromised by Chinese funny money going back years.
They impeached former President Donald J. Trump for a “perfect phone call” between himself and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—over the Biden Family’s alleged corruption in Ukraine—let’s hope the GOP can also return the favor to the far more scandalous Biden and his compromised crime family.
After all, they’re clearly selling us out to China. In fact, the Biden Crime Syndicate has been selling us out for years and America’s global position is collapsing because of it.

Bridging the Generational Gap

In The Details with Karen Allen: Hiking with Joy: The Power of Intergenerational Connections with Brad Ryan on Apple Podcasts

What do you hope a day in your life looks like for you at 92 years old?
If you’re anything like Grandma Joy, your days may be packed with adventure.

In 2015, Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad had an idea: What if they explored
the United States by visiting every national park? It’s a big task, but these two
adventurers were up for it. It all started when Brad made a surprising discovery:
Grandma Joy was in her 80s and had never been to the mountains. It made sense then that their first stop took them to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, straddling
the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. Joy then climbed her first mountain
at 85 years old.

Fast-forward seven years and the pair have driven more than 50,000 miles
together and flown to visit parks in Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Though they’re now staying in hotels, the two started their journey camping in the parks.
What started as an opportunity for a breath of fresh air has become a gift to both him and his grandmother. He’s learned to prioritize his mental health, set healthy boundaries, and raise awareness of mental health struggles to help others.

What is the final park on this fantastic voyage?
Grandma Joy and Brad will visit American Samoa in 2023 to complete their national park checklist. The duo is on Instagram and Facebook and has a GoFundMe to help cover their American Samoa travel expenses. 

92-year-old grandma won over social media with an unusual hobby:
‘I have to continuously pinch myself’ first appeared on The Cool Down.

Brad Ryan, 41, and his 92-year-old grandmother, Joy Ryan, are nearing the finish line
on a goal they once thought was impossible: visiting all 63 U.S. national parks together.
The duo from Duncan Falls, Ohio, kicked off their adventure in October 2015, when Brad was looking for a way to spend a three-day weekend during veterinary school. He said the idea was sparked by a conversation he had with “Grandma Joy” about his past adventures on the Appalachian Trail.
“I felt bad that she was always living vicariously through my stories,” Brad told “GMA.” “And so just knowing that she had never seen deserts and mountains and the ocean and these incredible wild places on Earth, it just felt like a responsibility that I had to her to make sure that she had some memories to take away in her life story as well.”
Brad invited his grandma on a weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, anticipating it would be their only excursion together.

“You don’t assume going into that that your 85-year-old grandmother going with you on a camping trip is going to be anything less than challenging,” Brad said. “That was my fault.
That was my misperception of what age means and more importantly, what her spirit would allow her to do.”  
 “I’ve always tried to be positive in my life and it didn’t hurt to try something once,” Grandma Joy said. “I didn’t want to have to regret the next day that you didn’t do it.”

The final stop on our 2018 east coast road trip was the sacred place.

Where our journey began three years prior:
Great Smoky Mountains National Park. grandma joy road trip
#GrandmaJoysRoadTrip began with the simple goal of me taking my grandmother on
a weekend camping trip so she could see mountains before it was too late. But this land transformed our lives and planted the seed to keep exploring. Coming back here with 28 US National Parks under our belt allowed us to bask in this transformation with complete gratitude.

As we approached the half-way point of our goal, I wondered if visiting every US National Park was too ambitious. Little did I know that our road trip would take a most unexpected turn in 2019.

You made me dream! I wish I could have done this with my grandmother too, but unfortunately I couldn’t. She had Alzheimer’s and was too delicate. But you have a treasure trove of memories and emotions to treasure you two.🙌❤️👏

Love the pictures as always! Following for a long time now and living vicariously
through this because I’d have given anything to do this with my grandma❤️

@kcreaturecomforts Thank you for being a part of our journey.
We wish we could meet each and every one of you in person.

I wonder if you have any idea how much your posts affect each of us – all in different ways. For those that also say… ‘I’m too old for that’ (you’ve shown you’re not)… or ‘that’s far too ambitious’ ( it’s not)… or ‘who would be interested?’ (We all are!). Or ‘it’s too late to dream that dream’….I could go on and on. The pure dynamics of your relationship to each other… is more than enough.

grandma joy road trip @dogsleash Thank you!!!!
Your words are incredibly moving. We don’t have any immediate plans to slow down,
so I hope the next leg of our journey keeps inspiring those who need it.
Grandma Joy inspires me every day. ❤️

Grandma Joy and Brad Ryan are members of the exclusive “Denali 30% Club,”
the minority of visitors who get to see North America’s tallest mountain in all her glory. 

Brad began documenting their adventures on Instagram and Facebook to the account in 2019, and they quickly acquired a large following. Today, they boast nearly 58k followers on Instagram. “We didn’t expect that,” Grandma Joy said. “He just put that on social media so the people back home in Duncan Falls knew what we were doing.”

National Parks Services Chief of Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson Jenny Anzelmo-Sarles said in a statement that “Grandma Joy, and her grandson Brad, are an inspiration to us all.”
“National parks are best enjoyed with the people we love, and it is clear to see that Joy and Brad share a special bond, which has been strengthened by their time traveling together,” Anzelmo-Sarles said. 
They had visited 29 parks until the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to slow down.
“All we could do was hope that things would change and that those opportunities would still be there and then be grateful for everything that we had been able to do and see up until that point,” Brad said.
In July 2021, Grandma Joy and Brad embarked on one of their wildest adventures yet: visiting the eight National Parks of Alaska, where they went white water rafting down
class three rapids, hiked near glaciers and fjords and crossed a wild animal encounter
off Grandma Joy’s bucket list.

“I always wanted to see the bears get the fish and I finally got to see it.
And it was fun, it really was,” Grandma Joy said.

Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

After years of planning and traveling, Grandma Joy and Brad are almost able to hang
up their hiking boots: the duo has just one national park left to explore, the National Park
of American Samoa which is over 6,700 miles from their home town of Duncan Falls.  
While they’re looking forward to the day they visit their final park, Brad said completing their extraordinary feat will be “bittersweet.”
“It’s been a grand adventure, it really has,” Grandma Joy said.
“It’s really been a beautiful, beautiful time. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
As for advice from Brad and Grandma Joy, they encourage everyone to seek out opportunities for exploration.
“We realize that not everybody is going to be able to travel to every U.S. National Park,” Brad said. “But there is some adventure to be found in every corner of of the country and we hope that people will go out and seek that adventure.”

As Brad shared in an interview with The Weather Channel,
“I have to continuously pinch myself when I’m watching my grandmother hiking
the Arctic Circle and when I see her whitewater rafting … in class 3 rapids at 91!”
Grandma Joy says the rapids in Alaska were fun, like a roller coaster. 
“I love roller coasters,” she told CBS News.

 What else have they experienced? Maybe too much to recount.
They saw a whale breaching in front of them while visiting islands off
the coast of California. They were almost run over by a moose, according to Joy
“That’s a lesson, don’t get too close to the moose,” Brad told The Weather Channel. 
They’ve seen countless terrains and animal species and had adventures that have brought them closer together. Traveling with his grandmother has been a gift for Brad, who has learned a lot about his family history, too. Brad is a veterinarian and his grandmother’s stories have shown him that a love of animals runs in the family.

BENEDICTION/BLESSING FOR MONDAY!

May you always be mindful of the interconnectedness of all things, and may you live in a world where cooperation and mutual respect reign supreme. Amen, and may peace be with you—drawn from Colossians 1:16-17 “For in him [Christ] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth…,” He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
It is why we must celebrate those rare dissenters with the courage to take a stand,
forcing us to face our reflection when we succumb to our inner enemies.”
Well, I don’t always reference the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, but he said technology would destroy humanity.  He may be right, but I think it’s governments’ abuse of technology that is going to destroy humanity.

However, I differ from ZH’s conclusion that AI would be “boring”.
Makes me wonder just how many of them are deeply invested in the industry?
As I recall some years ago, we were all abuzz about running out of space for landfills. I.E. places to bury our garbage. And so the recycling industry was born. It worked for a time. Now we have thousands of tons of scrap cars sitting all around America and no one wants the iron. It is so expensive to melt it down here that we just keep importing it. As a child,
I recall marveling when Lake Erie – or more exactly the Cuyahoga River which flows into Lake Erie catches fire June 22, 1969’s it ignited a firestorm of public outrage over
the indiscriminate dumping of sewage and industrial chemicals into the Great Lakes.

And the freighters that plied the great lakes moving iron ore to the foundries.
Now today one will be lucky to see them. If they do see a freighter, it is most likely
to be carrying imports. So much for the not-in-my-backyard backward policy…

The Passion of Jesus Christ

The payment for sin was Jesus’ life for our imperfect one (Isa. 53:6, II Cor. 5:21). 

You got my Place: Yes, Jesus took your Place on the Cross
We have to choose who will pay for sins by accepting punishment ourselves or trusting Him who has accepted it in our place. Bryan Stowe was beaten lifeless on the opening
day of the Dodgers game with the Giants. His crime was that he had a Giants shirt on.
In 2011, 2 thugs beat him for being a fan of the opposing team. He had a friend who shielded his body when Bryan dropped lifeless and took all the kicks that may have finished Bryan off. 

He talked with Bill Carroll on the KFI this week and talked about his guilt
because he didn’t do more. Jesus did much more. Sin kills and has to be paid for.
He died in your place for your sins. So, you could be saved from such punishment. 
One day, a man went to visit a church. He arrived early, parked his car, and got out.
Another car pulled up near him, and the driver told him, “I always park there. You took
my place!” The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat, and sat down.
A young lady from the church approached him and stated, “That’s my seat! You took my place!” 

The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome but said nothing.
After Sunday School, the visitor entered the church sanctuary and sat down.
Another member approached him and said, “That’s where I always sit; you took my place!” The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment but still said nothing. Later, as the congregation prayed for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood, and His appearance changed. Horrible scars became visible on His hands and on His sandaled feet. Someone from the congregation noticed Him and called out, “What happened to you?” 
‘Sinister backdrop’: ‘Biden’s ‘hate speech’ matched ‘dystopian aesthetic’.

The visitor replied, “I took your place.”
If we follow the sheep, we do it because He is Saviour. He stands in the place of the sheep against all wild animals or a band of robbers. He places His own life and sacrifices it for us so we will not be destroyed. That was the sacrifice of Christ. That is the kind of sacrifice Jesus made so we could have salvation through His redeeming work. DN

Democrats have been scheming to arrest Donald Trump since 2015.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg finally pulled the trigger on arresting Trump for the Democrats. But Alvin Bragg can’t undo the errors he’s already made before the trial against Trump has even started. Bragg violated Trump’s Sixth Amendment rights by arresting him without stating the underlying crime he violated.

The Sixth Amendment clearly states that the accused has a right “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.” But Bragg is flat-out ignoring this requirement. When asked what the underlying crimes were that elevated the charges to felonies, Bragg told reporters that “indictment doesn’t specify it because the law does not so require.”

Jed Handelsman Shugerman, – Search (bing.com)
A Law Professor at Fordham and Boston University, made up the perfect phrase to explain why Bragg’s case should fail on Sixth amendment grounds. Shugerman explained to the New York Times that Bragg’s case is a total embarrassment for America’s legal system because it consists of “half indictments.” Shugerman told the Times that the “34-count indictment — which more accurately could be described as 34 half-indictments — was a disaster. It was a setback for the rule of law and established a dangerous precedent for prosecutors.”

“The case appears so weak on its legal and jurisdictional basis that a state judge might dismiss the case and mitigate that damage,” he added. “More likely, the case is headed
to federal court for a year, where it could lose on the grounds of federal preemption —
only federal courts have jurisdiction over campaign finance and filing requirements.”
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz and several other well-known attorneys have made similar arguments and also called the entire debacle a sham.

Bragg’s case against Trump may be a total sham.
But Trump’s defense team will still have to overcome a few hurdles along the way.
For one, the trial will take place in left-wing Manhattan, meaning any jury will certainly
be stacked with Trump haters. Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the case,
is also widely known to hate Donald Trump and Republicans. Merchan knows it would
be the end of his career if he goes down as the judge who let Trump off the hook.

But it will be a year or longer before this case comes anywhere near to an end.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg thought going after Donald Trump would put rocket boosters on his career. Instead, his criminal case against the former President continues to crumble.

Now the political stunt Bragg thought was his biggest career triumph has morphed into his worst nightmare, as the Soros-backed DA got blindsided by an ethics violation over Judge Juan Merchan’s involvement.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg found himself in a position to become the darling of the Democrat Party with news he planned to have Donald Trump arrested.

But that is backfiring.
Democrats had hoped to take down Donald Trump by waging “lawfare” against him in areas of the country with leftist judges and juries. But that strategy is falling apart as the conduct of Judge Juan Merchan comes under scrutiny for his political contributions to
Joe Biden’s campaign and other leftist groups in 2020.
According to allegations, Merchan violated New York State’s Code of Judicial Conduct with three different political donations he made during that election year. “According to the FEC records, Merchan donated $15.00 to Biden for President — the campaign of Trump’s opponent, on July 26, 2020, via ActBlue,” Breitbart reported.
“On July 27, 2020, he donated $10.00 to Progressive Turnout Project, an organization dedicated to turning out Democrat voters, and $10.00 to Stop Republicans, a part of Progressive Turnout Project ‘dedicated to resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy,’ also via ActBlue,” the outlet noted.

The New York Code of Judicial Conduct is clear on this matter.

Section 100.5 states:

Neither a sitting judge nor a candidate for public election to judicial office shall directly or indirectly engage in any political activity except (i) as otherwise authorized by this section or by law, (ii) to vote and to identify himself or herself as a member of a political party, and (iii) on behalf of measures to improve the law, the legal system or the administration of justice. New York University’s Stephen Gillers, a legal ethics expert and law professor, says Merchan’s donations were forbidden under the Judicial Code of Conduct.

“The contribution to Biden and possibly the one to ‘Stop Republicans’ would be forbidden unless there is some other explanation that would allow them,” Gillers explained during a CNN interview. Gillers informed Breitbart the repercussions for Merchan could include losing his position as a judge entirely. “Violations can lead to a warning, private discipline, public discipline, and serious sanctions like removal. Serious discipline (e.g. removal) is decided by the N.Y. Court of Appeals,” Gillers noted.

Donald Trump and Merchan are well acquainted.
The judge has presided over three prior lawsuits involving the former President and has taken flak for allegations of bias as he consistently rules against Trump. Those concerns are only bolstered by the fact that his daughter worked for Kamala Harris’ Presidential campaign. Donald Trump had complained about Merchan’s approach in the past saying that it’s impossible for him to get a fair trial in Manhattan.

The reasonable assumption that the deck is stacked against Trump inside the Manhattan courtroom is only fueling public skepticism of what also looks like nothing more than a political stunt on the part of Democrats. Political Animal News will keep you up-to-date on any new developments in this ongoing story.

Jesus Christ was a perfect and sinless person but yet.
How could a perfect and sinless person face persecution?

He faced and endured persecution from the very world He had come to save.
Why was Jesus hated by the world and why was He eventually crucified?
Persecution is defined as the act of excluding, harassing and punishing,
oppressing or killing of people because of their difference from society.

Therefore, below are 4 reasons why Jesus was persecuted:

 1. Jesus Exposed False Teachers & A Counterfeit Religious System

The Pharisees were the people with the religious influence and power. They were also spiritually abusive and they twisted scripture in order to control and influence their followers for their own personal gain. However the teachings of Christ exposed the false religious system which had been created by the Scribes & Pharisees. 
Jesus openly rebuked and opposed the Pharisees. Christ Himself did not mince His words when speaking to the Pharisees and other false teachers. He called them “brood of vipers” and hypocrites and openly exposed their counterfeit faith (Matthew 23:1-36).
So in the eyes of the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus Christ was a threat to their religious system and to the power and influence which they had gained over the people for many years. The Scribes & Pharisees also hated Christ because they noticed that they were losing their man-made spiritual influence among the people because of the teachings and presence of Christ on earth.
John 11:45-49 says: Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what He did, believed in Him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Therefore by spying, harassing and mocking Christ during His ministry, the Pharisees sought to preserve their authority and religious influence because they feared that Christ’s teachings were exposing their counterfeit religious practices. They sought to discredit Christ and eventually kill Him because Jesus threatened to expose their hypocrisy.
 
2. Jesus Would Heal on the Sabbath
One of the reasons why Jesus healed on the Sabbath was in order to expose the legalism and the false religious system created by the Pharisees. Jesus also healed on the Sabbath so that He could expose their false interpretation of the law regarding the Sabbath. The Pharisees were so blinded by their own legalism that they failed to understand the true purpose of the Sabbath day. Therefore by performing an act of compassion, such as healing a person on the Sabbath, Jesus would inevitably face confrontation and persecution every time He healed on a Sabbath day.
John 5:16 says: And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
In John 7:23 Jesus says: If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well?
 
3. Jesus Exposed Sin in the World & Promoted Godly Values
While on earth, Jesus was the embodiment of light and truth (John 8:12John 14:6).
He was the light of the world amongst people who loved darkness. The Person and work of Christ exposed the sin of the world and the depravity of man. Therefore everything Christ said and did was a representation of godliness and truth in a world that loved sin, hypocrisy and deception.
John 3:19-20 says: And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.  20  For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
Furthermore, when the sin of the world is exposed through speaking truth, the world tends to retaliate with persecution.
In John 7:7 Jesus states: “The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify about it that its works are evil.”
In John 15:18-20 Jesus says: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.  19  If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’
If they persecute Me, they will also persecute you. If they keep My word, they will
also keep yours.”
 
4. Jesus Said He Was Equal to God
Jesus was persecuted because He identified Himself as being the Son of God.
John 5:18 says: This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. Therefore besides accusing Christ of breaking the Sabbath, the Jews did not believe that Jesus was God. They falsely believed that Jesus was a heretic. They did not believe that He was the prophesied Messiah.

 Conclusion
Ultimately Jesus faced persecution in the form of crucifixion on a cross.
Though innocent, blameless and sinless – Jesus became the perfect sacrifice
that the world needed for the redemption of mankind to be made possible.

Isaiah 53:5 says: But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 3:18 says: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, Jesus took the punishment we deserve on the cross, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

As mankind we cannot pay God for our own sins and so Jesus came to pay the debt for
sin that we could not pay by becoming the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus suffered on the cross and resurrected on the third day so that if we believe and receive Him through faith as Lord and Saviour, then we would experience eternal life.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio testifies in Federal trial related to funneling $30 million
to former President Barack Obama campaign

Miles Guo is Obama’s Fall Guy
It’s Time to Pay Attention to the Arrest of Miles Guo and 
the Throngs of Chinese Nationals Who Are Protesting for His Release

BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR. 5:32 PM ON APRIL 14, 2023
The Hollywood star, who has partied with the fugitive money man, Jho Taek Low,
said the financier once casually dropped in a conversation that he hoped to make
a huge contribution to Obama’s campaign. “It was a significant sum — something to
the tune of $20-30 million,” DiCaprio testified. “I said, ‘Wow that’s a lot of money!’”
Another associate, Prakazrel “Pras” Michel took tens of millions of dollars to lobby the government on behalf of Low and the Chinese government as a whole, prosecutors allege.

Biden’s weakness has led Brazil, Egypt, UAE, others to turn to China over America, senator says No one seems to care about the arrest of exiled Chinese billionaire
Miles Guo — except for the crowds of Chinese nationals trying to get him released.
But Guo’s arrest represents how the Chinese have taken over the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the FBI.
FACT-O-RAMA! The FBI arrested Miles Guo for allegedly scamming over $1 billion from his online followers in a complex scheme. His $32 million New York City apartment mysteriously caught fire as he was being arrested.
Guo also allegedly warned Steve Bannon that Bannon and President Trump would be arrested at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Guo is being held without bail.
Chinese people in the U.S. and London have been holding numerous protests calling
for the DOJ to free Guo. The mainstream media hasn’t shown an interest in Guo’s arrest, though some lesser-known, right-leaning news outlets — like “Live From America TV” — are covering the story.

Media Matters reported that Bannon — who was arrested on Guo’s yacht — claimed that the CCP had him, Guo, and Trump arrested. Newsmax posted a “paid sponsored content” piece written by Matt Palumbo that suggests the arrest of Guo was actually intended to have Guo returned to China and to keep him from testifying against Fugees founder Pras Michel, an alleged co-conspirator of former Justice Department Senior Congressional Affairs Specialist George Higginbotham, who — according to the DOJ — was arrested
“in a conspiracy to deceive banks in the United States about the source and purpose of millions of dollars sent from overseas to finance a lobbying campaign on behalf of foreign interests.” The aforementioned piece also mentions a man named Jho Low.
Where have we heard the names Pras Michel and Jho Low before? I recently mentioned them as being instrumental in a case involving China donating tens of millions of dollars to Barack Obama.

Reuters had this to say about Higginbotham testifying against Michel: George Higginbotham testified that he made money on the side while working at the Justice Department by offering legal advice to Michel, a long-time friend. His duties included facilitating some of Michel’s dealings with Jho Low, a businessman whom prosecutors
say embezzled billions of dollars from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.
Higginbotham is the latest witness to testify for the government in the criminal trial against Michel, who is accused of accepting millions of dollars to carry out three different illegal lobbying campaigns on Low’s behalf. Other witnesses so far have included actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Republican National Committee official Elliott Broidy.

Federal authorities have already seized Guo’s property and high-end cars.
FACT-O-RAMA! Steve Bannon reported on Real America’s Voice that China may have switched its tactics to “first strike nuclear weapons.” This comes after Joe Biden allowed a Chinese spy balloon to hover over various American military bases, some of which house nuclear missiles.Guo is considered a flight risk and isn’t leaving the federal jail in Brooklyn anytime soon. Roughly 500 Chinese nationals in a boat recently took to New York City’s East River — near the Brooklyn Federal jail — and chanted for Guo’s release.

The CCP is the number one threat to U.S. national security – and they are being helped from within by traitors inside our own government. The CCP’s infiltration stretches from the private sector all the way to the Department of Defense, FBI, and CIA– who are all too happy to play the CCP’s useful idiots to keep the American people in blindfolds and the Chinese people in slavery.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance.
Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished. – Sir Denison Miller

Mr. Miles Guo, the founder of the New Federal State of China, wiped out the CCP’s cult culture and rebuilt the new China for the hardworking and good citizens of China. In the end, he became the number one enemy of the CCP. Mr. Miles Guo was arrested by more than 100 FBI on March 15 and was imprisoned without bail. He was accused by the SEC of defrauding investors without any complaints and no witnesses. In the US where the CCP is weaponizing corruption in the US justice system, DOJ, FBI and SEC.
These institutions need to be closed and replaced.

Free Mr. Miles Guo immediately.

YOUR TRADE WILL BE OVER SOON DO NOT TO PURCHASE. Made in CHINA?

The leftist media is reporting that Guo is a billionaire swindler and friend of Steve Bannon — two reasons they obviously feel is enough to keep him incarcerated until they can give him to the CCP to be killed. Nothing like a “free” and unbiased press. Chinese people in the U.S. and London have been holding numerous #protests calling for the #DOJ to #free #Guo. The #mainstream #media hasn’t shown an interest in Guo’s arrest, though some lesser-known, right-leaning news outlets — like “Live From America TV” — are #covering the story.

Some ideological leaders neglect that the Earth has one owner, and the evil system has another. The King of all the Earth is the Lord Jesus Christ, the almighty God, who governs this marvel using his ministers, experts and announcers of his law. Also taking down the Chinese communist party is the most important thing in the world!!

The Chinese communist party lies, the global people die!
They are evil all over the world, they are the roots of disaster!!! Xi will be having US citizens arrested for speaking the truth about him and China soon. Mainstream media
in the USA, are on the payroll of the Chinese CCP, making no bones about flowing the almighty dollar to all the top media corporations. Just listen nightly to them, you will witness the finely tuned propaganda.

The godless CCP wants to remove any opposition to their complete control and the fake news puppets will follow them and the communist democrat party without resistance. While the Biden regime… is providing asylum…. to illegals from all over the world, Joe Biden wants to expand health coverage for Dreamers, allowing the 580,000+ people enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to qualify for medical coverage under Medicaid and Obamacare.

Currently, illegal aliens do not qualify for either program.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the economic impact illegal
immigration is already having on the American taxpayer.

According to a new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform 
(FAIR), illegal immigration costs American taxpayers at least $151 billion each year.
The study assesses things like education, welfare, medical costs & justice enforcement at both the federal and state level to arrive at the staggering sum. Individual American taxpayers are paying almost $1,200 per year EACH to finance the illegal crisis.

Biden shared in a video on Twitter, “Health care should be a right, not a privilege for DACA | Biden wants to provide another entitlement program funded by the American taxpayer.

“Today’s announcement is about giving DACA recipients the same opportunity.”
My administration has worked hard to expand health care, and today more Americans have health insurance than ever. Miles Guo was not afforded protection from the Communist regime on American soil.
ALL AMERICANS NEED TO BE paying attention. Heard the CCP have opened up police departments of Chinese police on American soil and are allowed to spy on and monitor Chinese citizens going to school or working on American soil.

Chinese Embassy emails House Republican staff expressing ‘grave concern’ with
COVID-19 origins hearing. No one in Congress seems concerned about this. WHY?

Mara Salvatrucha, commonly known as MS-13, is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the 1970s and 1980s. Originally, the gang was set up to protect Salvadoran immigrants from other gangs in the Los Angeles area. Over time, the gang grew into a more traditional criminal organization. MS-13 is defined by its cruelty, and its rivalry with the 18th Street gang.
Many MS-13 members were deported to El Salvador after the end of the Salvadoran Civil War in 1992, or upon being arrested, facilitating the spread of the gang to Central America. The gang is currently active in many parts of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America.

Most members are Central American — Salvadorans in particular.
As an international gang, its history is closely tied to United States–El Salvador relations. In 2018, the gang’s US membership of up to 10,000 accounted for less than 1% of the 1.4 million gang members in the United States, and a similar share of gang murders. The gang is often referenced by the United States’ Republican Party to advocate for stricter immigration policies.

to stem the tide, the President issues top secret Executive Order 12-4b3 creating a small, deadly team to take on this fight behind the scenes—a kill team.

The head of the CIA’s Special Operations Group, Bo Coll, is picked to head this group and he, in turn, asks Rob Tacoma to be his deputy. Rob Tacoma—former Navy SEAL and former CIA agent—has a special reason to agree. Tacoma was raised by his grandparents after his own parents were killed by the Russian mafia. But before Tacoma can even start, Bo Coll is found murdered in his own home, as a warning from the Russian mafia itself.

Now Tacoma is in charge of the team, and they have their first mission, to achieve the
near impossible: find and neutralize the mob boss behind Bo Coll’s death. To do so means taking on practically an army in a battle where there are no rules and no limits. Branching off from his bestselling Dewey Andreas novels, this is the first in a brand-new series from thriller writer Ben Coes.

And the Biden Regime is pushing to Classify ALL the Millions
that have Just Invaded America as “Dreamers”…

We want to make sure that they vote “democrat.” Let’s use the US Treasury and ALL taxpayer cash to buy votes and make sure that they are loyal “democrats.” And… every person who pays tax that’s where the money is coming from for this outrageous policy.
The leftists are serious nutjobs… The DemocRats have the ability to turn the American government into a replica of the countries they just fled!

That will really help get this illegal immigration “challenge” under control.
Same old story with Biden. When he isn’t selling out the country to its enemies,
he’s busy buying legal and illegal votes. Give away $. Just going to accelerate the flow of people crossing the border, Biden and the handlers wishing to collapse the country under the weight of these freeloaders. Those 81 million are going to turn into 150 million ballots. Biden’s DACA Giveaway Won’t Solve the Real Problem: DACA (msn.com)

This is insulting because they say Medicare is near broke.
We have citizens that cannot afford health insurance coverage
so where is all the money coming from to offer free Healthcare?
I did not get a vote on this. What is that going to do to medicaid?
This is insane and a bribe to have people come here. (edited)
This is why medicare and medicaid will drag down any future
for American retirees’ healthcare and Social Security solvency.
Citizens social security is in jeopardy after working 30 years paying

When I applied for my social security, there was an Indian family six weeks

It is stealing from you and me.

Someone Explain How That is Fair plzz !!


He’s aiding and abetting illegal aliens! They deserve nothing, but deportations!
We can’t afford healthcare for anyone that crosses our border illegally. Pathetic, destructive policies and behaviors from democratic “leadership”.

The Clean Air Disaster

I drove the 2023 Toyota bZ4X electric SUV from New York to Washington DC, and back.

I drove the new Toyota bZ4X electric SUV from New York to Washington DC, and back. 
The nine-hour drive involved three hours of charging. 

I learned the hard way that sometimes you need to choose between staying warm and maximizing range. Electric cars are quick, quiet, and kind to the planet, but limited range and lengthy charging times mean road trips aren’t exactly their strong suit. This dime-sized battery is a step toward an EV with a 1,000-mile range (msn.com)

Future EVs: Every Electric Vehicle Coming Soon (caranddriver.com)

EVs in Trouble (msn.com)Toyota’s new bZ4X SUV from N.Y.C. to Washington D.C. one weekend in early April. The 500-mile journey wasn’t some epic coast-to-coast adventure, but the kind of long-haul drive someone might casually take a few times
per year and not think twice about — if they’re behind the wheel of a regular gas car. 
I drove Toyota’s first real Tesla rival, the $52,000 bZ4X, and found one glaring flaw.
Take a tour of the electric SUV. (yahoo.com) 1 of 40 Photos in Gallery ©

I drove the 2023 bZ4X, Toyota’s first mass-market electric SUV.
The bZ4X AWD Limited that Toyota lent me came out to $52,468.
It’s a solid choice but is weighed down by slow charging times and
disappointing range.

image.png
Let’s nerd out for just one moment to establish some basic concepts.
Joe Biden’s Electric Car Dream Is a Nightmare (msn.com)
Joe Biden’s Electric Car Dream Is a Lie (msn.com)

Charging can take a frustratingly long time.
READ MORE: In a battery-powered vehicle, though, things aren’t always that simple.
Every EV has a maximum charging rate, expressed in kilowatts (kW), that governs the amount of power it can accept from roadside fast chargers. For the bZ4X AWD I tested, that’s an uncompetitive 100 kW.

The higher an EV’s rating, the faster you can hypothetically charge —
so long as you find a charging plug whose rating is equal or greater. 

But you don’t always achieve that max charge rate due to the charger, the temperature
of the battery, or, in my case, settings built into the vehicle itself. During my trip, the car never got close to 100 kW, leading to some excruciating charging times.

Toyota engineered the SUV to prioritize battery longevity, a spokesperson said,
which means putting a damper on fast charging, which can accelerate battery wear.

On the way down to D.C., I pulled into an Electrify America station with a 37% charge, looking to add just enough energy to make it the rest of the way. The Toyota refused to
pull more than 35 kW, so just getting to 74% took a full 45 minutes of waiting around — not exactly something you want to do at night when you still have hours of driving ahead of you.

That stint added 95 miles of range, according to the SUV’s estimates.
But highway speeds sap energy quickly, so in real-world terms, and
it was probably more like 75.

image.png

On the return trip, I stopped at an EVgo station with 6% remaining.
This time, the Toyota wouldn’t budge past 50 kW, so charging to 80%
took an agonizing hour and 15 minutes.

Related video: 2023 Toyota Sequoia Driving in the city (AutoNET).

Total it all up and charging stops added two hours of travel time
to the roughly nine-hour trip. But this experience isn’t universal.

 Tesla’s charge quickly and benefit from an expansive, private charging network.
Some Hyundai batteries can charge to nearly full in the time it takes to find a bathroom and grab some beef jerky. Many vehicles beat the Toyota’s so-so 222-mile range, cutting down the frequency and urgency of pit stops. 

You need to leave yourself a big range buffer
Each time I charged up, I made sure to create a comfortable buffer between the distance Google Maps said I had left and the Toyota’s remaining range, as indicated on its screen. I’ve run out of range too far from a charging station before, and it wasn’t fun

That turned out to be a savvy move. 

image.png
Factors like high speeds, inclines, and — as we’ll discuss in more detail later —
use of the climate settings can deplete an EV’s range faster than expected.

So, unless you know your EV well, don’t blindly trust what it tells you.
Here’s an example. When I left the Electrify America station in New Jersey and set off
for DC, the Toyota indicated 188 miles of range— plenty to drive the 138 miles remaining, right? Nope.

I watched my beautiful buffer wither away to just 11 miles by the time I arrived, triggering an unsettling message telling me to charge soon. A couple of wrong turns dropped my final range to just nine miles.

Since charging stations aren’t nearly as abundant or well-marked as gas pumps,
you need to carefully plot out your pit stops in advance to avoid a bad time. 

image.png
You can charge while you do other things.

One of the bright spots of driving an EV is you don’t need to sit in your car while it charges. If you aren’t en route somewhere, you can plug in and go about your day.

The morning after I arrived in DC, I checked the car and saw its range had dropped overnight to six miles. Since I didn’t want to sit through a full hour of charging right
before hitting the road back home the next day, I looked for a charger in the city and
found some EVgo stalls near Union Station.

I drove over, plugged in, and went sightseeing for a couple of hours. All the while,
I was able to check the car’s charging progress through the EVgo app on my phone.
This was the best charging session I had all weekend: 3% to 77% in an hour, that
particular charger’s time limit.

Google maps Charging Stations – Search (bing.com)

The EVgo charging network’s app lets you keep tabs on your electric car
charging progress from afar. EVgo Better yet, the EVgo app provided a QR
code to flash at the gate so I could leave the parking lot without paying.

Still, it was a bummer that I had to take time out of my day and drive to
a charging station. If the garage at the apartment I was staying in that had
a charger of its own, would’ve made the whole trip much more seamless.

image.png
A combustion-engine car creates heat as a byproduct,
so, cranking up the radiator is no big deal. 

Prepare to choose between comfort and range.

But electric cars use energy from their batteries to make heat, leaving the
drivers choosing between maximum range and maximum comfort. When
I hit the road back to New York on a chilly morning with 176 miles of range.

When I went to turn on the heat, the indicated range plummeted to 125 miles.
The options became: Stay toasty and charge twice, or endure the cold and stick
with the planned one-stop strategy. Given the bZ4X’s lackluster range and my
previous, lengthy experiences charging it, I went with the latter.

I bundled up and relied mostly on the seat and steering-wheel warmers
(Which are more efficient than the regular heater) to make things almost bearable.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t curse these silly electric cars under my breath once or
twice. However, the electric future seems inevitable at this point, so we might as
well learn to live with it.

Are you considering a switch to an all-electric car in the future?

No, I am not 75%

Yes, I am 12%

Maybe, I’m not sure 12%

She lost 62 pounds on Ozempic

Staci Rice before and after semaglutide. Staci Rice© 

Story by rhosie@insider.com (Rachel Hosie) • 2h ago
Staci Rice had tried all sorts of fad diets before trying weight loss drug semaglutide.
It has been a “miracle” for Rice, who hopes to take it long-term.
Rice said the drug has made the “food noise” in her head disappear,
as well as her cravings.

A woman who lost 62 pounds on Ozempic says the cravings and ‘food noise’ in her
head disappeared, Staci Rice had tried “every diet around” before she started taking
the new game-changing weight loss drug semaglutide.

Semaglutide, which suppresses appetite, was originally developed for diabetes and sold as Ozempic, but was approved for weight loss by the FDA in 2021 under the name Wegovy.
‘I miss eating’: the truth behind the weight loss drug that makes food repulsive | The Guardian

Rice, 40, who lives in Gray, Georgia, would try a different diet each spring before
a beach holiday. However, one day she saw an advert for semaglutide while scrolling
Facebook and noticed it was cheaper than previous weight loss plans she’d tried.

Hype has quickly built around the drug, leading to shortages and rumors that it’s used
by celebrities. Semaglutide isn’t cheap, costing up to $1,300 a month, which is why some
people have turned to compounded versions of the drug despite the potential risks. 

While many people have had positive experiences on semaglutide, 
some people say the side effects, such as nausea and constipation,
are severe enough they’ve had to quit.

When Rice acquired compounded semaglutide from a nurse practitioner at a weight loss clinic she thought she would only take it short-term until after her vacation (which is when she’d usually quit a diet), but she decided to keep going. Rice lost 62 pounds in the eight months after she started taking it in May 2022.

In January 2023, she moved her focus to maintenance and started injecting semaglutide every 10 days instead of weekly, she said. Her appetite has come back a little, but she has managed to maintain her weight. Rice hopes to reduce the frequency of the shots further but never wants to stop taking the medication, she said.

“I’m actually looking forward to it being long-term because I know myself and my habits, and if I don’t have something like that, then I will regain the weight,” Rice said.

After years of fad diets, which health experts warn against, Rice said semaglutide has
been a game-changer because she hasn’t cut out food groups and doesn’t feel deprived.
She hasn’t changed her diet, but simply eats smaller portions of what she ate before.
The smaller portions also means she saves money on groceries, she said.

“Semaglutide has changed my life and I hope it’s around forever,”
Rice said. “It’s been a miracle for me.” For her, the investment is worth it.

Rice didn’t immediately notice a difference in how she felt when she started semaglutide but she did get a dry mouth that didn’t go away when she drank water and a bloated stomach, as well as some nausea, and fatigue, she said.

Her weight fluctuated for a little while, which was frustrating, but she was eating much smaller portions by month three, she said. “The food noise was gone,” Rice said. While she used to wake up wanting sugar, all her cravings and the desire to snack have disappeared, she said. 

When Rice goes out for a meal now, she either orders a kid’s meal or takes her leftovers
to go and will get one if not two further meals out of it, she said. Rice also prefers healthier
foods now and tries to eat enough to keep her energy up.

She also takes multivitamins to ensure she is getting all the nutrients she needs while eating less. Rice never used to exercise because she didn’t like it and had knee pain from an injury. But she has noticed the inflammation has reduced since she lost weight, and she now enjoys exercise more, she said. For the first time in three years, Rice managed to run after her dog.

As well as a smaller appetite, Rice is also among users who have found they no longer have the urge to drink on semaglutide. She only used to drink alcohol occasionally but no longer craves it at all. Rice has been sharing her journey on TikTok and is surprised by her own confidence to do so.

“Before, I felt like a nobody,” Rice said. “But now my confidence is sky-high,
I’m able to stand up and talk in front of people, and that is huge to me.”

complex carbs and includes wine in moderation. Getty

The Mediterranean diet has long been lauded for its wide-ranging health benefits.
Dietitian Kirsten Jackson told Insider she follows the diet to boost her gut health.

A registered dietitian who follows the Mediterranean diet, which is lauded for its
wide-ranging health benefits, has shared what she always keeps stocked in her kitchen.

The diet is widely considered to be one of the healthiest ways to eat, thanks to its links with heart health and a lower risk of various diseases including Parkinson’s and diabetes.

It emphasizes vegetables, legumes, seafood, olive oil, and wine in moderation, and encourages minimal consumption of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, added sugars, and saturated fats.

Registered dietitian Kirsten Jackson follows the Mediterranean diet because research suggests it reduces the risk of multiple health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and mental health conditions, she told Insider.

“As an IBS sufferer, the Mediterranean diet also provides me with the recommended
30 different sources of plants per week which I know will help me diversify my gut bacteria,” she said.

The Mediterranean diet doesn’t need to be strict though, and you can still enjoy other foods in moderation, Jackson said. Jackson shared six foods she always keeps in her kitchen to help her eat Mediterranean style.

Jackson shared six staples she always has in her kitchen,
including olive oil and whole grain carbs.

Nuts are a good source of healthy fats. Getty Images

1. Nuts and seeds
Jackson likes to keep a mix of different nuts and seeds in a container,
which she sprinkles on meals like salad and oatmeal.

“This provides a good source of healthy fats but also diversity
which the gut microbiota love,” she said.

2. Whole Grain carbs
Whole grain carbohydrates, such as brown rice, wholemeal bread,
wholemeal pasta, oats, and quinoa are staples in Jackson’s kitchen.

“They all cook really quickly and form an awesome base for your main meals.

 3. Vegetables
Jackson eats a variety of vegetables because she’s signed up to a delivery service that
sends her boxes of in-season vegetables or those that might have been thrown away.

Eating a wide variety of vegetables can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke,
and certain cancers, lower a person’s blood pressure, and improve digestive issues,
 Insider’s Savanna Swain-Wilson previously reported.

Frozen fruit can be cheaper than fresh. Getty Images

 4. Frozen fruit
Frozen fruit is cheaper than fresh, and it also contains more micro-nutrients
as it’s frozen soon after picking, Jackson said.

High quality virgin olive oil is a staple for Jackson. Getty Images

5. Olive oil
Jackson keeps two types of olive oil in her kitchen:

High quality virgin olive oil: “It’s amazing for its antioxidants and making things
like hummus or drizzling over bread,” she said. Extra light olive oil for cooking,
as it’s more stable, meaning it doesn’t release harmful compounds when heated.

Tinned fish is be a cheap source of protein. Getty Images

6. Oily fish
“I always have tinned sardines in tomato sauce in the cupboard as it is super tasty
and less costly than fresh fish,” Jackson said. “The Mediterranean diet is regarded
as Healthiest in the World!”

END TIMES REVELATION

Is the Syrian Situation a Fulfillment of Biblical End Times Prophecy?

The turmoil in the Middle East may be an indicator of something bigger.
Should the United States bomb Syria? Your answer might depend on your eschatology (whether Christian or Muslim).

LifeWay Research noticed how the Syrian conflict has prompted discussion 
of the  End Times (i.e. dispensationalism) unlike previous debates over American
intervention in foreign affairs. So, it did a survey and found some surprising results:
Almost one in three Americans see Syria’s recent conflict as part of the Bible’s plan
for the end times. One in four think that a U.S. military strike in Syria could
lead to Armageddon.

One in five believes the world will end in their lifetime.
Ed Stetzer (now joined by Bob Smietana, previously at TheTennessean)
explores the full results—inlcuding that women (36%) are more likely
than men (28%) to link Syria and the Bible—in a post worth reading.
But for comparison: Barna recently found that “41 percent of all U.S. adults,
54 percent of Protestants, and 77 percent of evangelicals believe the world is now
living in the biblical end times.” The online poll of 1,000 American adults found that
those most likely to believe this include African Americans (54%), Hispanics (48%),
married adults (46%), and families that had children living at home (47%).

PRRI recently found that nearly 4 in 10 Americans (and 65 percent of white evangelicals) believe recent natural disasters are evidence of the End Times, while 15 percent of Americans (and 29 percent of white evangelicals) believe that the end of the world, as predicted in the Book of Revelation, will occur in their lifetimes.
Reuters recently found that “nearly 15 percent of people worldwide believe the world will end during their lifetime.” According to its survey of more than 16,000 people in more than 20 countries, those in the United States and Turkey believe this the most, while those in France, Belgium, and Great Britain believe this the least.

CT recently noted how American evangelical leaders took their own surprising vote on whether to bomb Syria, as well as examined whether Syria’s Christian should be the top priority of American Christians.
CT also recently noted the death of the filmmaker who launched the End Times movie genre, and has regularly covered Syria, the End Timeseschatology, and dispensationalism.
Whenever tensions begin to skyrocket in the Middle East, the rest of the world gets worried. It’s no surprise, since the area has been known for its turmoil for most of
human history. Many, though, also recognize that it is the center of the majority of
Biblical prophecies.

The Syrian conflict and the U.S. decision to strike a base inside the country are leading to further concerns. The future of the nation’s civil war, the state of the humanitarian crisis, and the best political path to move forward are all under hot debate. People are confused on how to best diffuse the situation.
In addition to the conversations on how to remedy the crisis, there has also been intense debate within the theological space. Christians are starting to discuss the possibility of the events in Syria being connected with prophecies in the Bible.

A Biblical prophecy is a prediction of an event that has yet to unfold.
There are many who whole-heartedly believe the Syrian conflict is written explicitly in Biblical prophecy. For example, Joel Rosenberg, a New York Times’ bestselling author, has pointed to Old Testament scriptures to support his case.
Questions began to make their way around evangelical circles following the event of Russia’s air strikes targeting rebels in Syria in October 2015. The discussion surrounding Syria’s ongoing civil war, which started in 2011, and if it was tied to biblical prophecy reemerged.

Rosenberg laid out his thoughts by publishing on his blog in the wake of the air strikes.
He claimed that Russian president Vladimir Putin is “working hand-in- glove with Iran’s government” in formulating operations in Syria. This came the same week that reports of Iran waging a ground attack, while Russia was carrying out assaults from the air, were circulated.
“The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that in the ‘last days’ of history, Russia and Iran will form a military alliance to attack Israel from the north,” Rosenberg wrote. “Bible scholars refer to this eschatological conflict, described in Ezekiel 38–39, as the ‘War of Gog & Magog.’” He added, “Are these sudden and dramatic moves by Moscow and Tehran…simply coincidental, or [do they] have prophetic implications?”
The question Rosenberg poses is at the epicenter of the debate surrounding
Iran, Syria and Russia and their potential involvement in the end times. 

This has gained a great deal of attention in both the Christian community and the general media over the years. For those who believe Syria will play a role in end times scenarios, Isaiah 17:1–3 is the cornerstone.
“’See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down, with no one to make them afraid. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,’ declares the LORD Almighty.”
The first portion that focuses on a “ruinous heap” has many wondering if the present crisis in Syria was prophesied in the Bible. However not everyone is buying it. Some scholars have countered that Damascus was already destroyed and that this verse refers to an attack by the Assyrians that unfolded in 732 BC.

Rosenberg combats his critics and shuts down the idea of the Assyrian attack being the event prophesied in the Bible. Specifically citing Isaiah 17:1–3 and Jeremiah 49:23–27, Rosenberg explained in a separate blog piece that Damascus’s destruction has not yet happened. Jeremiah 49:23–27 pledges judgment upon Damascus, proclaiming that it has “become helpless” and that a fire will be kindled in its walls.
“We’re watching Damascus unravel…These prophecies have not yet been fulfilled. Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. It has been attacked, besieged, and conquered,” Rosenberg wrote. “But Damascus has never been completely destroyed and left uninhabited.”
“Bible Answer Man” Hank Hanegraaff doesn’t believe in the claim that the Old Testament could be describing future or current events. Hanegraaff has spoken about supposed Biblical prophecies associated with the end times before. Back in 2013 on his radio show 
a caller asked him about claims that the Book of Isaiah details impending destruction for Damascus.

Hanegraaff pushed back the notion.
“So, what you’re saying is they’re tying in the passages in Isaiah to what is currently happening in Syria…and this is just a classic example of newspaper eschatology and shame on the pastors that are doing this, because it either is a case of them not knowing the Word of God, which seems unlikely to me, or simply wanting to invite sensationalism and sophistry,” he responded. “If you look at what the Bible actually says, it is very clear that the fulfillment comes in the biblical text as well.”
“This whole notion is fulfilled in biblical history when the king of Assyria captured and destroyed Damascus…if you look at Isaiah chapter 7, there’s a permutation of this as well…you see the fulfillment in the very next chapter, Isaiah chapter 8,” he continued.

Hanegraaff went on to say that some pastors’ decisions to transport pieces of prophecy to the 21st century are irresponsible. He called the action “embarrassing” and said that those pastors and Bible experts who embrace the idea are “dragging Christ’s name through the mud.”
Rather than reading the Scriptures for what they are, he believes
that some theologians are “reading into the Scriptures their own eschatological views.”
In the end, the debate is compelling, intriguing and fascinating from both sides. The debate is composed of individuals who agree on a central Christian doctrine, however couldn’t disagree more about the signs and symbols that are presented within it. We cannot be sure when the end times are coming or how they will unfold, but it’s worth discussing in the Christian space.

Does war with Syria have anything to do with the end times?
As civil war rages in Syria and other nations ponder potential involvement, some Bible teachers believe we can see biblical end-times prophecy unfolding right before our eyes. The Middle East is a religious-political powder keg and has been for years, but the Syrian Crisis seems to be making the situation that much more explosive. Because of Syria’s proximity to Israel, Egypt’s troubles, Iran’s threats, and the United States’ ultimatums, there is talk of the end times, Armageddon, and World War III.

The complete guide to Syria in end time Bible Prophecy –
High Time to Awake By Craig C. White

The fuse has been burning in Syria for eight years. Now the powder keg is about to explode! Isaiah 17 predicts the destruction of Damascus, Syria.
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold,
Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Now more than ever it is important for Christians to be alert to the Bible prophecy that is unfolding in Syria. For that reason I have edited and compiled all of my commentaries about Syria into this one book. These commentaries appear throughout several of my other books. This book contains everything that you need to know about Syria in Bible prophecy as you watch events unfold in the coming days.
The city of Damascus is the capital of Syria. It is a large prosperous city with modern amenities and an ancient history. Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It was founded by the Aramaeans over four thousand years ago, and was inhabited two thousand years before that. Damascus is a living depiction of human history.

Today Damascus is dying.
According to Old Testament prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah; Damascus, Syria will
be destroyed. I think that the Bible tells us that Turkey will enter Syria and destroy Damascus. This could be the prophetic event that puts the end time into high gear!
Syria has been fighting for the past eight years, in the midst of a hostile takeover by outside forces. During that time Damascus has suffered some damage, but has been mostly spared. Now Turkey has amassed 400,000 soldiers on the Syrian border. Now Turkish President Erdogan has vowed to remove Syrian President Assad from power in Syria’s capital city of Damascus. Now Turkey has acquired world wide support for their invasion into Syria. It is true that, with every passing day, we draw closer to the Second Coming of Christ (James 5:8).
The Bible presents a certain paradox when it comes to the end times. On one hand, we have Mark 13: 32, which tells us “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” So the angels in heaven don’t know when the end is coming. Not even Jesus, Himself, knows when He’s coming back, it seems.

Yet in Matthew 24: 5-8, Christ says, of the impending end of all things,
that “For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you dare not be alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.” So we’re told that we cannot know when the end will come, yet we are given definitive signs that foretell its coming.

How can we make sense of this?
One way in which these signs can be useful is if we, instead of trying to predict the end through them, simply take them as hope-filled reminders that Christ is going to return and redeem all of creation. In this way, when we see these events transpiring, we can find hope instead of fear as we prepare ourselves to weather the storm.
To help you see these events for what they are, let’s take a look
at 6 Biblical signs of the end times.

Nation Against Nation
False Prophets
Moral Decay
Signs in the Stars
A Great Tribulation
Earthquakes in Many Places

 And the prophecy of Isaiah 17:1 has yet to be fulfilled: 

“A prophecy against Damascus: ‘See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.’” Damascus, the capital of Syria, has a longstanding reputation for being the oldest continuously occupied city in the world. It has never been without citizens or totally destroyed. But Isaiah’s prophecy still stands; there is coming a day when Damascus will be nothing but a “heap of ruins.” The current war in Syria could indeed be one of the events leading up to the capital’s destruction.

There are other verses in the Bible tethered to Isaiah 17:1, but the idea of a ruinous heap suggests that not one building is left standing in Damascus. The city will no longer be a city. Some students of prophecy believe a nuclear bomb could be the means of fulfilling this prophecy; others suggest the possibility of an earthquake.
Regardless of exactly how or when it happens, two things we know for sure:
God is sovereign and His Word will stand (Isaiah 40:8).

There is much unrest in the Middle East, and the war in Syria is capturing the attention
of the whole world. However, this particular conflict, even if it expands to other nations, cannot be associated with Armageddon. That battle occurs near the end of the Tribulation, during the bowl judgments, as the nations of the earth gather to fight against the Lord (Revelation 16:12–16). The war in Syria, if it is indeed part of the end-times prophecy,
is more likely part of the “birth pains” described in Mark 13:7–8.

In 700 BC, Isaiah wrote of the demise of Damascus. Today, 2,700 years later,
many believe that we are close to seeing that long-standing prophecy fulfilled.
However chaotic the events on the world stage appear, we know that all things
are working toward the fulfillment of God’s Word.

“The Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16–17)—are you ready for His coming?

Brain Cancer Survivor: Kelsey Day

After Setbacks, Cell Therapy for Glioblastoma Reaches New Phase
October 21, 2021 | by Steve Graff

Donald M. O’Rourke, MD, director of the Glioblastoma Translational Center of Excellence at Penn Medicine, feels energized. After a lot of frustration and too few successes, the cell therapy field has reached a new phase in its pursuit for better treatments for the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
For decades, treatment approaches using surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have sometimes helped to slow tumors’ growth, but the disease has almost always recurred
and proved lethal.
For that reason, over the last decade, O’Rourke and others began to explore cellular immunotherapies — similar to cancer immunotherapy developed at Penn Medicine and approved for certain blood cancers — as a potential better option for these brain tumors.
This decade-long focus in the lab and clinic, heightened by President Biden’s Moonshot initiative over the last five years, has helped answer questions about the tumor itself and previous therapies’ shortcomings. Now, researchers are on the cusp of delivering the next generation of chimeric antigen receptor cellular therapies (CARs) that could instill fresh hope for patients with GBM and other types of solid tumors.

Gaining Traction in Cellular Therapy for Glioblastomas.
“The amount and richness of GBM research is dramatically better than it was,” said O’Rourke, who also serves as the John Templeton, Jr., M.D. Professor in Neurosurgery in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
“And when there is increased work and scholarship being done in the field, it will get clinically translated and there will be an improvement.”
At Penn, a leader in GBM cellular therapies since the early days of this technology,
a new CAR cell therapy could find its way into clinical trials by next year,
In collaboration with Immunity Therapeutics, a Philadelphia-based biotherapeutics developer.
O’Rourke and his team believe this “dual target” CAR could accomplish what its predecessors couldn’t: withstand a hostile tumor microenvironment and more
precisely target and fight the tumor unhindered.

The timing is a tough reminder just how hard that has been for any treatment.
Fifty years after the architects of the National Cancer Act signed it into law and more
than 200 years since GBM was first reported, the median survival time is 15 months,
even after today’s aggressive treatments with chemotherapy and radiation.

The five-year survival rate remains at just 10 percent, and nearly everyone who
battles the disease loses. “This is important for two reasons: for the field, which
is really filled with desperation right now and continued setbacks,” O’Rourke said.
“And for desperate patients who have a disease that still has no standard of care,
which is an illustration of how bad things have been.”

Stubborn, But Not Impossible
GBM patients, many treated at Penn Medicine, have had responses to experimental
CAR T therapies, such as reduction in levels of the CAR T tumor target and proliferation and expansion of CAR T cells in tumor cells.
But the majority of these treatment responses have not been maintained over time.
Brain tumors are notoriously stubborn against nearly everything in the armament, including CAR T cell therapies.
The problem with GBM and other solid tumors is tumor heterogeneity, meaning
not all cells within a GBM tumor are the same or have the same antigen that a CAR T
cell is engineered to attack. On top of that, GBM tumors grow in a microenvironment
that blocks the activity of immune cells that might otherwise fight the tumor.

This includes both engineered CAR T cells and a patients’ innate T cells.
A cellular therapy for GBM, as well as most solid tumors, needs to overcome
those challenges.
Two previous clinical trials at Penn that included 17 patients, along with other trials at fellow institutions, helped tease out the biology to explain how and why some respond better than others.

The first round of CARs used for GBM were designed to target the antigen EGFRvIII,
a known driver of the disease expressed in cancer cells. Studies had proven this was a feasible and safe approach, but when patients with recurrent GBM were infused with EGFRvIII CAR T cells, researchers saw those infused cells diminish in most patients, leading to relapses. 
Analyses of their blood and tissue made it clear that expression of the antigen decreased over time and the tumor microenvironment was firing off too many anti-immune-cell soldiers to disable immune cells. All was not lost, though. The studies showed CARs can pass the blood brain barrier and reduce the tumor if they stick around; one patient even had an exceptional response, surviving 36 months post infusion.
That invaluable data joined other research from Penn, including studies led by O’Rourke,  Zev Binder, MD, PhD, an instructor of Neurosurgery, and others in Neuro-oncology, that has informed cell therapy approaches up to this point and in the future.
Having infrastructure and expertise from Penn’s Center for Cellular Immunotherapies,
also led by Carl June, MD, the Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy in the department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, only supports this science further. Bold swings that pay off, after all, are what this group excels at.

The CAR T therapy known as CTL019 when it was developed by June and his lab and
is now known as Kymriah, is the first FDA approved CAR therapy, giving patients with advanced leukemias who had little to no options left, another chance.
To move ahead in the GBM space, it was clear CAR T cells had to be engineered to go after more targets than just one. Past studies have shown that targeting interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 (IL13Rα2), another antigen molecule expressed in GBM tumors, with CARs could elicit responses in animals and patients. It was time to double up.

Combining Forces to Increase Cell Coverage.
Unlike past designs that target one antigen, the newer CAR T cells
expands its abilities by doing just that, targeting two — EGFR and IL-13Rα2.
“Because of the tumor heterogeneity in GBM, there are pockets that will express target A and pockets that will express target B,” O’Rourke said. “We’re hoping we will get more cell coverage by adding a molecule in CAR T cells that express both binding domains so we can hit more cells.”
A significant sponsored research agreement with Tmunity that began last September has fueled preclinical studies and design of a clinical trial to be conducted at Penn Medicine with a multivariant CAR. Anywhere from 15 to 20 patients with recurrent GBM are expected to be enrolled by this time next year or soon after.

It’s just the beginning, O’Rourke said, of a series of collaborative investigations with Tmunity and likely other industry partners that will allow them to expand the number
of patients and try new approaches. One idea is to pair these types of CARs with other therapies to build up the immune system’s defense against the tumors.
The groundwork is there. Past studies from Penn Medicine showed combining a type of immunotherapy called checkpoint inhibitors with CARs in animal models inhibited brain tumors. Another one from June 2021 showed how bispecific T-cell engagers (or BiTEs) redirected T cells to target antigen-expressing tumors, acting as a helping hand
to fight the tumor.

Similar research has been in play across the field, with other institutions
upping their research on brain tumors, pivoting as new information rolls in.
Today, there are about 30 active clinical trials involving CAR T cells and gliomas.
And since the kickoff of Biden’s Moonshot initiative — which was driven by his son’s
death of GBM — at Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center in 2016, additional dollars have
gone toward brain tumor research, including pediatric GBM, and awareness around
the lack of treatments has only increased.

It’s the kind of momentum O’Rourke and other neuro-oncology teams at Penn wants
to keep up. “There is a lot of incredible science going on that has broad scientific impact beyond GBM,” O’Rourke said. “We want to work with many groups, both in industry and academia, to supercharge that into clinical translation. It will take time, but we hope to shorten that lag time by starting off with this new study, which I think is going to be a big advance over the previous work.”

Editor’s Note: O’Rourke is a scientific collaborator with Tmunity. He receives sponsored research funding from Immunity and, as an inventor of licensed technology, he may receive additional future financial benefits under licenses granted by Penn to Immunity. The University of Pennsylvania also holds equity and licensing interests in Immunity.

I was diagnosed with brain cancer at 25. I try to be resilient when things are uncertain.

Story by insider@insider.com (Kelsey Day) 
I was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was 25.
At first, I had to come to terms with the loneliness of the diagnosis and treatment.
I moved past the pressure of wanting to be perfect or having it all together.
I’ll never forget the morning I unenrolled from my 401(k) as a 25-year-old.
In retrospect, I laugh at the absurd symbolism of this seemingly minor act of acceptance.
The “American dream” of retirement was swept under the rug for me as I contemplated my likelihood of living past 12 months. I had been diagnosed with brain cancer three weeks earlier, and uncertainty filled me as I waited for the pathology results.
My brain cancer, a pandemic, the climate crisis — they’re all rooted in uncertainty. Uncertainty is inevitable. So is disruption. Despite this, resilience is possible.
Here’s how I’ve learned to be resilient amid the disruption.

First, I made friends with my loneliness
During personal challenges, it’s often said that “you’re not alone.”
This statement is meant to be consoling, but I’d like to counter that
during some life events, such as a cancer diagnosis, we are, in fact, deeply alone. 
I don’t say this to strike fear. When I feel the pulsating sting in my skull where the surgeons operated, it’s me and only me who feels the sensation.
When I sit in a room full of cancer patients who are all 40 years older than me,
I have only myself to bear witness. I let my loneliness take up space, and in return,
I have learned to trust myself in the process. 

Related video: How to make cancer treatment more bearable – YouTube
With this process, however, I try to keep in mind that resilience is not isolation,
quite the contrary. Making friends with my loneliness hasn’t meant denying help
or support in times of change — believe me, I’ve needed it.
It means I’ve found peace with my unique circumstances.
It means I’ve kept inside jokes to myself to find humor in the worst of times.
And above all, it means I see my aloneness as a superpower.

I found comfort in my routine, and then I broke it
Two weeks after I had brain surgery, I went back to work part time.
Looking back, I’m astounded at how quickly I pushed myself to return.
But now, almost a year later, I see my desire to return to work so quickly as an attempt to restore my daily rituals. Returning to my routine allowed me to experience the pleasure of the mundane. I felt grounded in my simple tasks — even though nothing was quite the same.

Carrying on with small activities I could control helped me mitigate the overwhelming uncertainty of what was not in my control. These early stages of healing helped me be more resilient by building habitual, manageable intentions.
After holding on to the familiar, I leaned into the disruption and severed that routine.
For me, after the first few months postoperative, I started to feel stagnant. I had just experienced this extraordinary life event, but with the change, I felt as if I had to change, too.
To me, being resilient also means unraveling the familiar. For me, this meant leaving my environment and traveling alone. It also meant doing things as simple as going to a new restaurant, making friends, or finding creative hobbies. When I stepped out of the familiar, I allowed room for transformation. Leaning into change has grown my self-confidence and improved my resilience when life doesn’t go as planned.

Finally, I redefined and released
Everyone has a story, and we all have opportunities in life to redefine those stories.
I decided I was the narrator of my own life. Even when the plot twisted and turned,
I shifted my perspective and saw the challenges or traumas I’d faced as the climax
of another chapter. But I also remembered more chapters were possible if I had the
courage to take ownership of those stories.

When I sought resiliency, redefining the stories helped
me affirm my experiences without keeping me stuck in them.
Once I took control of the narrative, I released my desire to be perfect and
the pressure to have it all together. I wanted to be known as strong and resilient,
but being strong and resilient doesn’t mean I won’t feel the pain of uncertainty.

I allow myself to hold these experiences kindly and just be. 
I know my path to resilience may not be the same as someone else’s.
Healing, as commonly stated, is not linear. Despite my eventual positive prognosis —
we are still in the watch and wait period to see if it grows — fighting my way back from
a cancer diagnosis in my 20s has been life-altering. I don’t know what healing will look
like for others, but I do know we have the power to be resilient.

Woman correctly diagnoses herself with leukemia – using GOOGLE | Bing video

Chloe-Leigh Todd, 22, pictured above, was told she had tonsillitis by her GP after suffering with a sore throat (pictured bottom inset). The stay-at-home mum from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, was diagnosed with leukaemia in June 2020 and underwent six rounds of chemotherapy before getting a transplant in October 2020 (pictured right)
The stay-at-home mum from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, was concerned her symptoms were not getting any better and managed to have a face-to-face appointment in June where she went for a blood test.Her results came back abnormal and she went straight to the hospital where she was told she had leukaemia and was just ‘weeks away from death’. Now she has been cancer-free for two years and is no longer having treatment, although still suffers with some side effects.
Miss Todd said: ‘Everyone knows their own body and I just knew it was something serious. ‘The doctors were putting it down to other things but I was adamant they were wrong.
‘I googled my symptoms – night sweats, fatigue, bruising and so on – and leukemia came up as the first search result.
‘I checked and saw I had every symptom on the whole website –
everyone had thought I was crazy when I said it, but I knew I wasn’t.
‘When the doctor confirmed it, I thought I was going to die.
‘I was happy to have the diagnosis, but I went numb, hearing it is a big difference.
‘The doctors told my mum in a different room; she broke down and I could hear
my mum screaming.’

A woman who was told she had tonsillitis correctly diagnosed herself with leukemia – using Google. – Search (bing.com)

Chloe-Leigh Todd started experiencing a sore throat and general illness. One month after starting to feel unwell Chloe had a telephone appointment with her GP and was told she had tonsillitis. After googling her symptoms – which included vomiting, night sweats, and weight loss – Chloe realized she was suffering from textbook leukemia symptoms.

Chloe managed to have a face-to-face appointment where she went for a blood test.
Her results came back abnormal and she went straight to the hospital where she was told she had leukaemia. Now she has been cancer-free for three years and is no longer having treatment, although still suffers with some side effects.

Chloe Todd, 22, a stay-at-home mum from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear said:
“Everyone knows their own body and I just knew it was something serious.

“The doctors were putting it down to other things but I was adamant they were wrong.
“I googled my symptoms – night sweats, fatigue, bruising and so on – and leukemia came up as the first search result. “I checked and saw I had every symptom on the whole website – everyone had thought I was crazy when I said it but I knew I wasn’t.

“When the doctor confirmed it, I thought I was going to die. In June 2020 after being told she had tonsillitis; Chloe managed to get herself a face-to-face appointment with a doctor because she thought they were wrong.

The mum of one had been suffering from a sore throat, night sweats, vomiting and
weight loss since February and was getting concerned so searched online for answers. After having a blood test, Chloe was called by the doctors and told her results were abnormal and called into the hospital where she was told she had leukemia and was “weeks away from death”.

The following day Chloe was sent to the Newcastle Freeman Hospital to start treatment. She said: “I had a bone marrow biopsy and told I was weeks away from death.
“The cancer was everywhere in my blood. Doctors told me they didn’t know if chemotherapy would help but they were willing to give it a try.”

Chloe endured six rounds of chemotherapy which eradicated most of the cancer, leaving her more optimistic. In September 2020, Chloe was put on the Anthony Nolan register in search for a bone marrow donor. Straight away the hospital found a 100% match in a 27-year-old boy, and she had the transplant in October 2020.

This is done by transferring stem cells from one person to another, replacing damaged blood cells with healthy ones. After a successful operation, Chloe underwent another bone marrow biopsy to make sure her new cells had worked – later receiving the news she was cancer free.

Survivor Mindset

Zachery Reed Kelly (born March 3, 1995) is an American professional baseball pitcher
for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2022.

Meet Zack Kelly: Boston Red Sox pitcher with mid-90s fastball went undrafted, was released twice, initially signed for $500 with the Athletics in June 2017 as an undrafted free agent out of Division II Newberry College. The A’s released him in April 2018.
He then spent a couple of years in the Angels organization before being released again during the COVID shutdown.

“Being released twice and just pretty much getting told, ‘We don’t want you anymore, you’re not good enough,’ it fuels everything,” Kelly said. “It makes you work harder.
You have to go the extra mile because you’re not going to get the same opportunities
that a team will give to someone, they have a lot more money invested in.”

The right-handed reliever, who will turn 28 on March 3rd, always believed in himself
and his persistence is paying off. He received a non-roster invitation to Red Sox 2022 major league spring training camp after an impressive season with Double-A Portland
and Triple-A Worcester in 2021. He posted a 2.18 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and .194 batting average in 36 relief outings (45 ⅓ innings).

He has a legitimate chance to make his MLB debut this summer
and help the 2022 Boston Red Sox bullpen.

“It’s hard to tell someone no that just doesn’t quit,” Kelly said.
“As cliché as those sounds, it really is my mindset.”

Kelly struck out 36.7% of the batters he faced last year.
He averaged 13.7 strikeouts per nine innings compared to 3.6 walks.
Kelly also posted an impressive 58.5% groundball rate at Portland.

“I’m always confident in my ability,”
Kelly said when asked about potentially making his big-league debut in 2022.
“If that opportunity were to come, I think mindset-wise nothing would really change.
It’s the same game.”

Like many other minor leaguers not on a 40-man roster
Kelly has had to work during the offseason — and even
during the season — to pay the bills.

“My first year I probably paid to play to be honest with you,” Kelly said.
“I definitely lost money. ” I still work mainly doing lessons. … Even up until 2019,
I was doing virtual video analysis for kids during the season. So, I would get home
from a game and have to do some of those. That’s just the way it is.

“It’s not easy. My first year my parents would literally have to put money into my account so I would have money straight out of college,” he added. “Whether it’s that or it’s coming to games, most times I’ll have either my parents there or my wife there every other week. So that’s really nice to have their support of being there in person.”

He said his parents and wife are always there to give him honest advice.
“They’ve always been there every step of the way, good times and bad times,” Kelly said.
 “A lot of times they tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear. That also helps.”

Hundreds of minor leaguers across professional baseball were released in late May 2020. 
Kelly, who then needed elbow surgery, was one of 39 Angels minor leaguers released
He underwent surgery and the Red Sox signed him Dec. 19, 2020.

“I took a lot of time during my rehab just to understand the kind of pitcher I am,” Kelly said. “And just kind of looked at a lot of different sequence stuff and then how to try to mix up pitches in different counts. Just try to go up and down and east to west. Try not to fall into any habits. Fortunately, it kind of worked.” Kelly took a deeper look at his mechanics.

He learned how to move more efficiently to take stress off his shoulder and elbow.
He began using his lower half more and it led to more mobility and strength.

“I don’t necessarily think it (the injury) was a strength issue but I guess by doing that
my velo did go up,” Kelly said. “Is that the surgery? Maybe. Is it moving more efficiently
in my lower half? Who knows?” 

Kelly’s four-seam fastball often was in the 94-96 mph range during 2021.
He reached 97-98 mph in a couple of games.

“My changeup has always been my best pitch,” he said. “I’ve always been able
to get weak contact with that and a lot of swings and misses.”

Kelly made adjustments to his pitch mix halfway through the 2021 season
in Portland before his promotion to Worcester. “I scraped my slider,” he said.

Kelly traded in the slider for a combination cutter/slider.

“I call it a hybrid in between a cutter and a slider,” he said.

He always  had a high ground ball rate. He gave up just two homers last season.
He has allowed 11 homers in 196 ⅓ innings during his minor league career. 

“My personal philosophy for my entire career is that if you can miss bats and keep the
ball out of the air, good things are going to happen,” Kelly said. “So I always try to make my strikeout rate and my groundball rate higher than my fly ball rate. I think if you can generate weak contact and miss a lot of bats, they’re going to have to string together some hits to really get some runs across. If they string a couple hits, then more power to them.”

Oakland Athletics
Unselected in the 2017 MLB draft, Kelly signed with the Oakland Athletics as an undrafted free agent for a $500 signing bonus.[3] He pitched in the rookie-level Arizona League during 2017.[4] The Athletics released Kelly in April 2018.[2] Kelly later said,
“My first year I probably paid to play to be honest with you. I definitely lost money.”[3]

Los Angeles Angels
Kelly signed with the Los Angeles Angels organization and played for three teams in
the Angels’ system, reaching the Class A-Advanced level with the Inland Empire 66ers of the California League; in 18 total relief appearances during the season, he posted a 2.93 ERA and struck out 41 batters in 43 innings pitched.[4] Kelly began the 2019 season with the Mobile BayBears of the Double-A Southern League,[5] and also played one game with Inland Empire, accruing an overall 3–7 record in 21 games (13 starts) with a 4.88 ERA.[4] The Angels released Kelly during the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020.[3] Shortly thereafter, Kelly underwent surgery on his elbow to have a ligament reattached.[6]

Boston Red Sox
In 2021, Kelly joined the Red Sox organization, playing for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs and the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox.[3] He had a 1.69 ERA in 21 relief appearances for Portland before he was promoted to Worcester, where he had a 2.89 ERA in 15 relief appearances. In 2022, the Red Sox invited Kelly to spring training as a non-roster player and he returned to Worcester for the beginning of the season.[7] He accrued a 2.72 ERA
for Worcester through August 29,[8] when he was added to Boston’s major-league roster.[9] Kelly made his MLB debut that evening, against the Minnesota Twins.[10] He was on the paternity list for three days in early September.[11] In 13 relief appearances with Boston, Kelly pitched to a 1–0 record with 3.95 ERA while striking out 11 batters in 13+23 innings.[12] Kelly was the 2022 recipient of the Lou Gorman Award issued by the Red Sox organization.[13]

Personal life
Kelly is married and resides in South Carolina in the offseason.[6] 
He and his wife, Brittany, had their first child in September 2022.[14]

Physical Description: Filled-out right-hander with a mature frame.
Sturdy lower half. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Start on the first base side of the rubber. Medium leg kick. Stiff delivery. Arm hook behind. Rocks back at his peak and then drops and drives as he comes forward. Inconsistent timing with delivery leads him to pull off with his front side. Average athlete, good arm speed.

Fastball: 93-96 mph. Tops out at 98 mph. Heavy, generates a lot of weak contact on
the ground. Throws strikes, but command is below-average. Command and velocity have improved as the 2022 season has gone on. Plus pitch.

Changeup: 80-82 mph. Great separation from fastball. Pitch shows late, parachuting movement down. Throws with very deceptive arm speed. Has shown bat-missing ability
at the minor league level. Plus pitch.

Cutter: 87-89 mph. Hard, horizontal break. Primarily used to generate soft contact against right-handed hitters. Potential fringe-average offering.

Slider: 83-84 mph. Has not incorporated much in outings scouted since 2021.

Career Notes: Signed as an undrafted free agent by Oakland for a $500 bonus out
of Division II Newberry College in 2017. Was released the following April before signing just over a week later with the Angels. Made it to Double-A with that organization by early 2019 and pitched well. Tore the UCL in his pitching arm in early 2020 but avoided Tommy John surgery. Was released during the 2020 season when it became clear he would need some form of elbow surgery. Underwent surgery but was back throwing off a mound by November 2020 and signed with the Red Sox as a minor league free agent. Re-signed with the organization before reaching free agency after the 2021 season, receiving an invitation to Major League spring training. Participated in 2022 Winter Warm-Up.
Made his MLB debut in August 2022 days before the birth of his first child.
Participated in the 2023 Rookie Development Program.

Summation: Projects as a middle reliever. Ceiling of a consistent seventh-inning arm. Likely lacks late-inning upside due to inconsistent command, but could stick around for
a while as a sixth-inning arm.
Fastball and changeup both projects as plus pitches, with changeup showing true bat-missing ability. Cutter is more of a pitch-to-contact offering at present, but if it improves, would give him a third pitch that can miss bats. Late bloomer who could continue to improve and see his stuff take a step forward again.

Zack Kelly EXITS Game with Apparent Injury! | Boston Red Sox | 4/12/2023
Boston Red Sox fans poured out their hearts for reliever Zack Kelly on Wednesday after
he exited the Tampa Bay Rays game in tears with an apparent arm injury. Kelly, who had come on to relieve starter Chris Sale in the fifth inning, threw a pitch that hit Yandy Diaz. The 28-year-old Kelly immediately knelt in front of the mound, with something clearly wrong. After being checked out by trainers, he left the game with tears in his eyes.

The team has not released any updates on the injury, but pitchers know their arms, and Kelly sensed right away it’s not good. Wednesday night’s appearance aside, in which Kelly yielded two earned runs in less than an inning, he’s pitched well this season. In five games before Wednesday, he had a 1.35 ERA.

Beyond his pitching, Kelly has been an inspirational story. The former Newberry (S.C.) College star signed with the Red Sox for a $500 bonus as an undrafted free agent in 2017. After several years toiling in the minors, and fighting an injury a couple of years ago, he finally made his MLB debut last season, with a 3.95 ERA and 1.319 WHIP in 13 games.
He appeared set to assume a larger role this year.
