Encore of Revival: America, June 8, 2015
Politics, Church, and police are all changing. The US finally caught a terrorism suspect, it was done by local police who wanted to question him. He resisted with a large “military” knife and was shot dead.
Rand Paul voted against Obamatrade, drawing sharp criticism as much as sharp contrast with the RNC Establishment.
The Church is undergoing fundamental soul-searching. The youth leader overseeing youth ministry in the Assemblies of God had the audacity to say, “Examine yourselves,” concerning parents, pop culture, and media. We’ll see how long his job lasts.
Analysis: By design, Paul stands alone in presidential race
…So many other Republican candidates supported the NSA spying bill. This really makes them look bad and will get a lot of people thinking. Republican party is loosing its grip.
Man under surveillance by terror investigators is shot dead
…The investigation was by local police. The guy had a “large military knife”. · · · →
Cadence of Conflict: Asia, June 8, 2015
A week of political campaigns. Imagine if John McCain were under review to be kicked out of the Republican Party for not supporting big money enough, there was no strong Republican Candidate, Hillary was already the Democratic nominee, and McCain said, “If the RNC orders me to, it would be my duty to run for President.”
That’s what happened in Taiwan this week. Wang Jin-pyng, Speaker of Taiwan’s puppet Legislator (which cannot introduce its own legislation) is hated by party bosses of his own KMT-Nationalist party. And he offered to run if the party asks him to, which, of course it won’t. That party never supports any good ideas, especially good ideas that would win favor with the people. They have been too interested in winning the favor of the Beijing Communists. Wang would be the best candidate since the party has destroyed itself with all the footsie-footsie games it played with China over the years, especially over the last decade. · · · →
