Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story Fauci's Books On COVID Have you pre-ordered Dr. Fauci's new book, "Expect the Unexpected:  Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward"?  It's reportedly only 80 pages long.  But I am sure it will be required reading by America's cultural and globalist elites.  . . . Coincidentally, "truth" is one of the subjects of Fauci's book.  No wonder the book is only 80 pages long!   . . . Fauci repeatedly lied during the pandemic, most notably on the question of whether U.S. taxpayer money went to the Chinese communist Wuhan lab for "gain of function" research.  Fauci played word games repeatedly in his congressional testimony.   Ultimately, the persistence of Senator Rand Paul and Senator John Kennedy, as well as the relentless work by Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson among others, led to Fauci admitting U.S. funds did go to the Wuhan lab.  But, Dr. Fauci assures us that the Wuhan scientists have assured him that none of the funds were used for dangerous research.   I predict Dr. Fauci will be out before his book is. The Biden Administration will want to cut its losses. The 90-day investigation Biden has ordered into the origins of the Chinese communist virus will likely end with no firm conclusion.   Certainly, the Chinese government will never admit wrongdoing. In fact, they will continue promoting their relentless propaganda around the world claiming the virus originated in the U.S.   Meanwhile, we must never forget what we already know are the facts:  After communist China knew COVID-19 was deadly and spreading from person to person they lied to the world about it.  Meanwhile, they bought up massive quantities of other countries' protective medical equipment, hoarding it for themselves.  Finally, even though travel within China was severely restricted, the communists allowed hundreds of thousands of their citizens to travel abroad in the early months guaranteeing every nation would be impacted.

See also (Part Two): "Ingraham blasts Fauci as 'Man who cried COVID', wonders if days are numbered" (Fox) Go here. - Lord God, we can clearly see that there has now been a HUGE shift during this past week, exposing the lies behind this pandemic and holding the guilty ones accountable. We ask that Dr. Fauci and his compatriots be held fully responsible for their terrible deeds, and that justice will be served swiftly, in Your Name, amen and amen. - “But let justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." (Amos 5:24) CA Forced to Pay Churches' Legal Fees in Settlement "The permanent injunctions in these cases uphold and protect one of the most cherished principles of our republic: The Free Exercise of Religion."   The state of California agreed to a settlement in which it will pay more than $2 million in legal fees to attorneys who represented churches that were handed down significant restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, even as retail businesses experienced fewer regulations. A federal judge approved the settlement after attorneys for a Pentecostal church in the San Diego area brought its lawsuit against the state to the U.S. Supreme Court three times and won. As Fox News reported, the deal includes a permanent injunction following the High Court’s rulings that asserted houses of worship cannot have restrictions placed upon them that surpass those placed on retail businesses. “If they’re gonna restrict Costco to 50%, then they can do the same thing to churches,” Attorney Paul Jonna of the Thomas More Society said. “But what they were doing before, as you may remember, is they were keeping those places open and they were shutting down churches — at least in California — completely.” Liberty Counsel, a Christian litigation firm focused on religious liberty issues, has represented some California churches in their challenges to Newsom’s restrictions. The firm also observed that “the victory against Governor Newsom is also being filed in pending church cases across the nation,” including in Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills (D) permitted unrestricted gatherings of business and secular organizations, but still required severe restrictions on churches, including a limit of 50 people, regardless of size of the building.

As in the Days of Noah and Lot . . .  New ‘Rainbow Index of Churches in Europe’ measures ‘LGBT inclusivity’ of Christian denominations   May 26, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) —The first “Rainbow Index of Churches in Europe in 2020” (RICE 2020) that ranks Christian church groups in Europe by their “LGBTI inclusivity” was released in April. “As theologians researching inclusivity, we started with the argument that Jesus’ practice of radical hospitality and commensality sets the rule for churches on diversity, equality, and the affirmation of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities,” states the RICE research report, which was researched by the European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups (EF). > > > Read more here. - Holy One, we cry out in REPENTANCE that so many have now fallen into this deception of Satan, and we cry out for MERCY in the midst of the judgment that surely must follow this abomination. Help us, O Lord, we pray! Rescue us and deliver us from evil, in Your name, amen and amen. - "LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy."
