Less than a day after the U.S. Secret Service returned to Hertz five expensive vehicles agents had used to haul Joe Biden and his family entourage around a ritzy Massachusetts resort area over Thanksgiving, they burned.
Biden and family have spent many vacations so far in his luxury homes, but this retreat was to Nantucket, the Ritzy Massachusetts island.
“The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current,” the report explained.
The vehicles, a Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, Chevy Suburban and a Jeep Gladiator, had been parked after the Secret Service use at the Nantucket airport.
The blaze reportedly erupted only 40 feet from the airport’s jet fuel tanks.
The cause of the suspicious fire reportedly was unknown.
The airport told the Current, “At approximately 5:22 am Airport shift staff observed an active fire in the rental car overflow area through the Airport’s Closed Circuit Television System. Staff activated the Alert system and responded to the fire in Airport-3, where they were met by responding units from Nantucket Fire Department and Nantucket Police Department.”
The report said the fire did not affect flights at the airport, but multiple vehicles were damaged. Source
So parts of the Bible aren’t appropriate for society any longer ehh’? The real truth is opposite. I think these demonically inspired god wannabees aren’t appropriate for this earth. They only bring sorrow, deceit & death just like their god, Satan. Especially someone who mocks the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, crucified for the sins of all mankind, risen from the tomb & brands Him as a fake & liar! There’s no fear of God in these blasphemers. They SPIT on the salvation procured by the Lord Jesus Christ Who willingly died for their sins & provides the ONLY way to heaven.
They deem themselves as god because they decide which parts of God’s written word -the Bible are “appropriate” or not. Reminds me of the so called Jesus Seminar held decades ago by about 50 liberal “educated theologians” who were labeled “Biblical scholars” & voted by using colored beads as to the veracity of Scripture & which of Jesus’ sayings were true as recorded in the Bible. They voted very few were actually said by the Lord. This also sounds like another bunch of god wannabees to me similar to the globalist end game to replace the living God with themselves.
Jude v3 in part says “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” How do we know this? The written Word of God, the Bible & the Holy Spirit, are our only reliable guides to salvation from God to us. The Holy Spirit will guide us to all truth by pointing us to the Bible. Everything claiming to come from God must be tested against what Scripture has already proclaimed. NOTHING else will substitute. There are no more commands or deletions allowed. It’s complete & unassailable as truth.
The God who is perfect & cannot lie wrote it & if we ignore it, we do so at our own peril.
If the Bible has no place among the godless of the world which in & of itself mocks Christ & the Bible then the REAL Master of the universe will take His seat, foreordained from the ages, upon the Great White Throne & personally judge each & every one of these ungodly, reprobate god wannabee despotic globalist crackpots. They will find out there is only ONE seat at the Great White Throne & that seat is reserved & waiting for the all-powerful, ultimate & perfect Judge, the Lord Jesus Christ to arrive. All judgement is given to God the Son by the Father.
Meanwhile the Satanic god wannabees trickle into Hell one by one as their God ordained allotted days come to a close. Similar to prisoners in jail awaiting sentence I suspect conversation to also be similar, such as “whatcha in for” or maybe some NOW appropriate Bible verses come alive to them like; Isaiah14:9-10 Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come. It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth, it raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones. v10 They will all respond and say to you, even you have been made weak as we, you have become like us. v13 But you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north….I will make myself like the Most High. v15 Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol to the recesses of the pit. v16 Those who see you will gaze at you, they will ponder over you saying, is this the man who made the earth tremble who shook kingdoms. v17 Who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities? Who did not allow his prisoners to go home? More “inappropriate” Bible verses introduce the globalist gods to their new home. v11 Your pomp and the music of your harps have been brought down to Sheol; maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you and worms are your covering.
I imagine at the White Throne, Jesus will point out the many times the little globalist gods rejected salvation by faith alone in Him alone along with Bible verses & the Ten Commandments they spurned & deemed “inappropriate” for “their” world. These verses will appear before them and seal their doom. Not one jot or tittle of the precious Word of God will ever pass away but the pompous little gods will die like common man & be judged by the Holy God they tried to replace.
Jesus will close the discussion on their judgement by opening the Book of Life where their names were but now blotted out for eternity & now only death & eternal punishment await. These hapless “kings” will finally bow the knee & confess that Jesus is King of Kings & Lord of Lords. They will be face to face with the Lord Jesus they called “fake” & He will assign them eternally to the Lake of Fire (NOT fake) & strip them of their self proclaimed “godhood”.
Too bad they never took His Word seriously or trusted Him.
Chinese authorities have begun investigating some of the people who convened at last weekend’s protests against Covid-19 restrictions, according to three people who were at the Beijing demonstrations, as authorities police the city’s streets.
In one case, a caller who wanted to be known as a Beijing-based police officer requested for the protester to come to a police station on Tuesday to present a written record of Sunday night’s events.
Additionally, a college also contacted a student allegedly involved in the protests, asking the student to provide a written account of the activities that transpired at the protests.
“We are all desperately deleting our chat history,” admitted one Beijing protester who wished to remain anonymous.
“There are just too many police officers. Police came to check the ID of one of my friends and then took her away. We don’t know why. A few hours later they released her.”
Beijing’s Public Security Bureau did not immediately respond to a media request for comment.
Police were patrolling areas in Shanghai and Beijing, where some groups on the Telegram messaging service had indicated that people would convene again for more protests. The police presence on Monday evening and Monday night prevented any gatherings from taking place.
“The large number of police, it’s really scary,” revealed Beijing resident Philip Qin, 22, a witness at the protests on Sunday.
Residents divulged that police have been stopping people passing through those areas and asking for their phones to investigate if they had virtual private networks (VPNs) and the Telegram app. VPNs are illegal for most people in China, while Telegram is banned from China’s internet.
Police also took away a busload of demonstrators during Sunday night protests in Shanghai.
Unverified videos on social media depicted hundreds of police at a large square on Monday night attempting to stop people from congregating in Hangzhou, the capital of the eastern province of Zhejiang. One video showcased police, encompassed by a small crowd of people holding smartphones, attempting to arrest someone, while others tried to prevent the detention from happening.
Just like their Beijing counterparts, the Hangzhou police authorities did not immediately reply to a media request for comment.
Likewise, in Sichuan province, teachers have asked students from several colleges, who participated in campus memorials for the victims, who the main organizer was, according to a person who attended one in Chengdu, the province’s capital.
Growing unhappiness with China’s draconian Covid-19 restrictions over the past three years has sparked off nationwide protests in cities thousands of miles apart over the weekend.
The weekend protests were Chinese citizens’ largest display of civil disobedience since Xi Jinping assumed the reins of government a decade ago, amid new lockdowns imposed on several cities. Demonstrations took place across around 15 Chinese cities — including the capital Beijing and financial hub Shanghai.
A fire last week in the western city of Urumqi, which authorities claimed killed 10 people, seems to have been the catalyst for various protests in other cities.
Some internet users claimed that China’s strict Covid-19 lockdown measures obstructed efforts to rescue people trapped in the burning building. These claims were denied by Chinese authorities.
Among the thousands of protesters, hundreds have even urged for the resignation of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Under Xi’s leadership, China has seen endless mass-testing, abrupt lockdowns, enforced quarantine, digital tracking with a huge human and economic cost, all under the pretext of defeating Covid-19.
For example, a large group in Shanghai began shouting “Down with the Chinese Communist Party, down with Xi Jinping,” in an unprecedented public protest against Xi’s leadership.
Hundreds in Shanghai convened at a candlelight vigil on Urumqi Road, named after the Xinjiang city, to mourn the fire victims. Many displayed blank sheets of white paper — a symbolic protest against communist censorship — and chanted, “Need human rights, need freedom.”
Protesters also sang The Internationale, a socialist anthem used in demonstrations worldwide for more than a hundred years. Protesters also sung this anthem in Tiananmen Square in Beijing before a savage crackdown by communist troops in 1989.
Shanghai residents have borne a huge burden under China’s zero-Covid policies. A two-month lockdown earlier this year resulted in many being denied access to food, medical care, or other basic supplies, fostering massive public resentment.
Notwithstanding efforts to prevent Covid-19 transmission via this zero-Covid policy of eliminating all outbreaks and regulating tight border controls, China has seen a rise in Covid-19 cases.
Meanwhile, the regular, abrupt, and strict lockdowns have worsened one of the steepest slowdowns in economic growth that China has weathered in years. This economic slowdown in the world’s major economy has upended global supply chains and financial markets.
Not everyone was in favor of the nationwide protests, though.
Eminent nationalist bloggers with millions of followers, such as Ren Yi, the grandson of Communist Party leader Ren Zhongyi, and Yu Li, who uses the pen name of Sima Nan, insinuated this week that the protests were provoked by “foreign forces.”
“What is their purpose? On one hand it is to intensify internal conflicts. On the other hand, it is to see if they can completely politicize the issues around our epidemic prevention and health policies,” Ren penned in his “Chairman Rabbit” blog.
Chinese authorities typically caution against “foreign forces” undermining national security and have accused them of fomenting the 2019 pro-democracy Hong Kong protests.
“Blaming it on foreign forces is a standard tactic,” said Associate Professor Alfred Wu at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. “This is how the party shirks responsibility and rallies people behind it.”
Proponents of China’s restrictive Covid-19 policies claim that these lockdowns have kept the death toll in the thousands, avoiding the millions of deaths elsewhere. They claim that loosening the policy could cause a rise in illness and deaths, overwhelming hospitals. Instead, proponents of Xi’s Covid rules strongly advocate vaccinating China’s elderly before the country can even think of reopening.
In a Tuesday editorial that conveniently omitted any mention of the protests, the People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s official newspaper, encouraged citizens to “unswervingly implement” Zero Covid policies, which put people’s “lives first,” claiming victory would arrive via “perseverance through thousands of hardships.” “The harder it is, the more you have to grit your teeth,” it said.

We must continue to pray for the people of China! This could turn very bloody very quickly! And don’t forget about our brothers and sisters in Christ meeting secretly in China. Pray for their safety!
Brinton faces up to five years in prison and $10,000 fine for allegedly taking another person’s luggage
Sam Brinton, a senior Energy Department (DOE) official, was charged with stealing a traveler’s luggage in the Minneapolis airport in September, shortly before quietly taking a leave of absence.
Brinton — who serves as the DOE’s deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition — allegedly took a Vera Bradley suitcase worth $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport (MSP) on Sept. 16, according to a criminal complaint filed on Oct. 26 in Minnesota state court and obtained by Fox News Digital. Brinton had traveled from Washington, D.C., to MSP that day.
After the suitcase’s owner alerted police, officers reviewed video surveillance of the carousel and identified Brinton taking the luggage before removing its tag identifying the owner, the court filings stated. Law enforcement observed Brinton using the luggage during at least two other trips to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9.
Then, on Oct. 9, Brinton denied stealing anything when a police officer called to discuss the incident. Brinton confirmed still possessing the suitcase.

“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual,” Brinton told the officer. “That was my clothes when I opened the bag.”
Two hours after the phone call, Brinton called the officer back and apologized for not being “completely honest.” But Brinton said it was a mistake and blamed being tired for taking the wrong bag at the carousel.
“DEFENDANT said when they opened the bag at the hotel, they realized it was not theirs,” the court filings stated. “DEFENDANT got nervous people would think they stole the bag and did not know what to do. DEFENDANT stated they left the clothes from the bag inside the drawers in the hotel room.”
Brinton was ultimately charged with felony theft of a movable property without consent, a charge that could result in a five-year sentence, $10,000 fine or both.

Minnesota-based outlet Alpha News first reported the charges against Brinton on Monday.
Brinton was placed on leave about a month ago and another official was named as a replacement in the interim earlier this month, according to the Exchange Monitor which tracks government hires. The DOE originally didn’t explain why Brinton took leave at the time.
“Sam Brinton is on leave from DOE, and Dr. Kim Petry is performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition,” a DOE spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
In June, Brinton made headlines after assuming the position in the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy as one of the government’s first-ever non-binary officials.
“There’s been a lot of people who are quite upset that don’t think that I am quite as qualified as others,” Brinton told E&E News in October. “I respond with multiple graduate degrees from MIT, a decade of working in nuclear policy and the strongest enthusiasm for working in nuclear waste out of anybody.”

Is it just me, or is this guy extremely scary looking? It seems that Creepy Joe received a memo from the powers that be (Deep State), instructing him to find the “creepiest” drag queen types to serve in his administration.
Brinton has ZERO morals. The irony of him being in charge of “Waste disposition” is priceless.
I stand by my belief that most of these people are absolutely demon possessed.
