Costco CEO: A Lot of People Are Experiencing a Recession Right Now and ‘Just Trying to Survive’
|
|
Costco CEO Craig Jelinek has warned that although the middle class is doing OK financially, people with less discretionary spending are having a difficult time in the current economy.
In a July 11 interview for CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” program, Jelinek said that while overall “the consumer is not doing bad,” and the unemployment rate is down significantly, many are struggling with sky-high gas prices and the cost of living steadily rising.
“For a lot of people, right now, they are in a recession because they’re just trying to survive with just buying gas and making their house payments, rent payments,” Jelinek said.
However, the CEO noted that people from higher-income households still have “discretionary income to buy goods,” adding that Costco’s member base is generally middle to upper-middle class households.
“You don’t know what’s going to happen three months from now. Interest rates have gone down … but right at the moment, we think things aren’t so bad,” Jelinek added.
Jelinek’s comments come as President Joe Biden’s administration continues to downplay the possibility of a recession in the United States. In June, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that while she expects the economy to slow down, she does not believe a recession is “inevitable.”
Biden himself has repeated those claims, telling The Associated Press in June that the United States is “in a stronger position than any nation in the world to overcome this inflation.” (Epoch Times) Read more.

Biden makes Holocaust gaffe during Israel visit
|
|
President Biden, visiting Israel on Wednesday, added yet another entry to his long list of gaffes, mistakenly saying we must keep alive the "honor of the Holocaust."
The president made the flub shortly after , kicking off a two-day visit with Middle Eastern country’s leaders.
"Later today I will return to the hallowed ground of … Yad Vashem to honor the 6 million Jewish lives that were stolen in a genocide and continue – which must we must do every, every day – continue to bear witness, to keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust — horror of the Holocaust, honor those we lost so that we never, ever forget that lesson, you know and to continue our shared, unending work to fight the poison of anti-Semitism wherever it raises its ugly head," Biden said.
Later Wednesday, the president visited the Yad Vashem memorial to honor Holocaust victims in Jerusalem. Wearing a skullcap, Biden was invited to rekindle the eternal flame in the memorial's Hall of Remembrance. Two Marines placed a wreath on the stone crypt containing the ashes of Holocaust victims and Biden listened as a cantor recited the remembrance prayer. (Fox News) Read more.

- Oh dear Lord! Please help us! We stand between the words of Joe Biden and the FACT that we will never, ever HONOR the Holocaust, but instead never, ever relive the HORROR of that tragedy. Help us, O Lord! Spare us from leaders who either willfully or mistakenly substitute ERROR for TRUTH. We decree that we the American people, do NOT STAND in agreement with these words of Joe Biden. Amen.

Report: US attempt at Israeli-Palestinian talks stalls due to coalition crisis
|
|
|
US President Joe Biden’s administration recently raised the notion of a top-level meeting between Israelis and Palestinians in the White House, Axios reported Thursday, but the initiative has seemingly stalled amid political turmoil in Jerusalem.
The report, citing multiple US and Israeli officials, said the possibility of such a meeting had been raised several times by the US over the past few months, and was conveyed to the Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, and Jordanians.
It noted that the US attempt to negotiate such a meeting could be considered the most active stance the Biden administration has taken in regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since last year’s 11-day war in Gaza.
But with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s coalition in crisis, he is seen as unlikely to have the political capital to engage in diplomacy with the Palestinians.
According to the report, discussions of the potential meeting have died out in recent weeks.
Bennett has stated before that his divided coalition would not advance the issue of a two-state solution, partly due to internal disagreements and opposing ideologies. (Times of Israel) Read more here.

- Father God, we are grateful to learn of this news. We continue to oppose any efforts by our government to advance a "two-state solution" in Israel. This report, for now, is an answer to prayer. Thank You, Lord!
- "The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)

The U.S. remains committed to reopening a controversial consular facility in Jerusalem used as a de facto embassy to the Palestinian Authority, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Wednesday.
Speaking with reporters en route to Israel on Air Force One, Sullivan responded to questions about the possible reopening of the eastern Jerusalem consulate, saying the Biden administration still plans on reopening the facility, despite Israel’s opposition to the move.
“Obviously, that requires engagement with the Israeli government; it requires engagement with the Palestinian leadership as well. And we will continue that engagement on this trip,” Sullivan told reporters. (Read more)

5. Hezbollah Chief Vows ‘No One’ Will Extract Gas, Oil From Maritime Zones if Lebanon Unable to Do So - Algemeiner
The head of powerful armed group Hezbollah warned on Wednesday that “no one” would be allowed to operate in maritime oil and gas fields if Lebanon was barred from its “rights” in extracting from areas off of its own coast.
“If you don’t give us the rights that our state is asking for … then we could flip the table on everyone,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised address.
“If you want to get to a formula where this country is barred from taking advantage (of these fields), then no one will be allowed to extract gas or oil and no one will be able to sell gas or oil,” Nasrallah said. (Read more)

1. Spotlight will be on Kansas Aug. 2 with abortion amendment on ballot - KMBC News
On Aug. 2, Kansas voters will be the first in the nation to see a post-Roe abortion question on the ballot.
In 2019, the state's Supreme Court ruled a woman has the right to make decisions about her own body based on the Kansas bill of rights. That's when right-to-life supports launched a bid to change the state's constitution with the Value Them Both amendment, valuing the life of the mother and the child.
The amendment would let legislators regulate Kansas abortions as they did in the past. The Value Them Both amendment does not ban abortions. It would let lawmakers regulate them, which is how Missouri's very tight abortion laws were passed. Previous abortion restrictions in Kansas included things like the two-parent consent requirement, no late-term abortions, and no state tax dollars could be used to pay for abortions. (Read more)
- Lord, we pray for an army of voters in Kansas to vote in support of life. We pray wisdom and strength for the organizations working to pass this amendment. We pray for voters across the nation to take a firm stance for life at the ballot box and not compromise on the truth. We’ve been handed an opportunity to shine the light on darkness and so we pray we would be a light during this time in Jesus name.
- “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:16)

2. Dutch farmers form 'freedom convoys' to protest government's strict environmental rules - Fox News
Farmers in the Netherlands have formed their own version of Canada’s "Freedom Convoy," blocking highways with tractors, setting bales of hay on fire and taking other actions to protest the government’s recent goal to cut emissions that could force some farms to shutter.
Roughly 40,000 protesters gathered in central Netherlands to protest plans to curb the emissions of nitrogen and ammonia last month. Weeks later, the protests have continued across the country with no sign of abating.
Photos and videos show farmers causing a highway near Germany’s border to come to a halt, with some Germans reportedly even joining the protest. Hundreds of businesses in three towns were virtually shut down due to three different protests, the Guardian reported Saturday. Meanwhile, some supermarkets have barren shelves due to the farmers also targeting distribution centers earlier this month. (Read more)
- Sovereign Lord, we pray that the leaders of the nations would seek Your wisdom and govern in righteousness for the good of their people. We come against this attack of the enemy to try to destroy the supply chain all across the world. And we cancel this attack by the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
- “… gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.” (Luke 9:1)

3. Wisconsin's Elections Just Got a Lot More Secure - PJ Media
In a big victory for voter integrity, Wisconsin’s Supreme Court ruled that absentee ballot boxes could only be placed in election offices and no one other than the voter can return a ballot in person. But the court was silent about ballot harvesting. As it stands now, anyone can still collect multiple ballots for voters and, instead of using a drop box, put them in the mail.
But otherwise, Wisconsin’s elections just got a lot fairer and less subject to fraud.
Naturally, Democrats believe it’s the end of civilization. “It’s a slap in the face of democracy itself,” Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler told the Associated Press.
The real “slap in the face” to democracy is the childish faith Democrats place in unsecured drop boxes in the middle of nowhere. Any effort to safeguard ballots is characterized as attacking democracy. (Read more)
- Lord God, as many state primaries are coming up in August, and voter registration for those elections is closing soon, we pray for Christians to make the effort to register, research the candidates, and vote according to Biblical values. Let us truly shine bright with the gospel and truth during this season! Amen.
- “…but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth).” (Ephesians 5:7-14)

4. California police discover underground bunker full of stolen goods in homeless encampment - Fox News
A commercial burglary incident led San Jose Police to an underground bunker at a homeless encampment containing thousands of dollars in stolen items.
The investigation led them to a homeless encampment," the San Jose Police Department said on Twitter Tuesday, adding that they located an "underground bunker" containing "approximately $100,000 worth of stolen goods."
Pictures included in the post show a bunker built into the side of a creek, with items recovered including dozens of power tools, construction equipment, and three shotguns accompanied by boxes of ammunition.
Police say the bunker was elaborate and was equipped with electricity, which they believed was "plugged into somebody else’s source." (Read more)
- Lord God, we thank you for our local Police Departments and all those involved in investigations to help protect our communities and America as a whole. Thank you for stopping attacks that are plotted against our communities every day that we have no idea about we praise you as our source of protection. Amen.

5. Biden downplays new inflation report, releases statement, Trump Jr. fires back - DML News
The White House released a statement on behalf of Joe Biden on Wednesday, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report for the month of June, showing that inflation has risen higher than expected, and hit a 40-year high. The report reveals that the consumer price index rose 1.3% in June, and is now up by 9.1% from a year ago.
The report was released just as Biden had arrived in Israel. In the statement released by the White House, Biden downplayed the significance of the skyrocketing numbers, claiming the information is “out of date.”
Donald Trump Jr. had something to say about the new numbers. He tweeted mockingly, “The only thing in the universe higher than inflation under Joe Biden right now is Hunter Biden!” (Read more)
- Lord God, we thank you and praise you that you are the same today, yesterday and forever. No matter how this world system fluctuates you are the truth and you never change. So we thank you that we can put our trust in your kingdom that never changes and not have to be in fear or worry about the ever increasing changes on this earth. Amen.

6. Biden Backs Canada Helping Restart Russian Pipeline After Killing US Pipeline Projects - The Daily Caller
President Joe Biden’s administration is supporting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to ship natural gas pipeline equipment to Germany, which will lead to the European economic hub importing more Russian natural gas.
State Department spokesman Ned Price expressed Washington’s support for the move in a statement Monday.
Trudeau’s government plans to ship the equipment for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline back to Germany after it had been kept in Montreal due to sanctions on Russian gas, according to Bloomberg. The decision is aimed at preventing serious economic turmoil in Germany due to high energy prices.
“We support the Canadian government’s decision to return a natural-gas turbine to Germany for use in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline,” Price said, adding that the move “will allow Germany and other European countries to replenish their gas reserves, increasing their energy security and resiliency and countering Russia’s efforts to weaponize energy.” (Read more)
- Lord God, Just as the Biden administration supports opening pipelines to help other countries energy problems we pray that he would see that that very strategy he supports would be a perfect strategy to try and implement here in America for Americans energy issues. We pray for Biden Lord that he would focus on how to fix his own countries problems as there are many in Jesus name.
- “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Timothy 5:8)

7. How Biden Helped a Chinese Gas Giant Boost the Communist Nation’s Oil Reserves - Free Beacon
President Joe Biden's decision to deplete America's oil reserves is helping a top adversary—China, which has built up its own stockpile while taking advantage of Biden's firesale.
Biden's Department of Energy in April sold roughly one million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. That decision came just two months after Unipec launched an "unusual buying spree" aimed at boosting China's own oil reserves.
The communist nation's strategy was clearly successful—from mid-March to mid-May, China increased its oil reserves from 869 million barrels to 926 million barrels, according to Bloomberg. America's oil reserves, meanwhile, are in freefall under Biden. The Democrat inherited 638 million barrels of reserve oil; that number is set to drop to 384.6 million barrels, the lowest level since 1984. (Read more)
- Lord God, it is hard not to assume that this current administration‘s efforts to strengthen other countries oil reserves while depleting Americas is not deliberately planned. But right now we take authority over this plan and we cancel it now in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that our leadership will adhere to the spirit of God rather than the spirit of this world and choose to do good and turn from evil in Jesus name.
- “Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.” (3 John 1:11)

8. Fauci admits that COVID-19 vaccines do not protect 'overly well' against infection - Fox News
White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci conceded that COVID-19 vaccines do not protect "overly well" against infection Tuesday on "Your World."
DR. FAUCI: One of the things that's clear from the data [is] that even though vaccines - because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus - don't protect overly well, as it were, against infection, they protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death. And I believe that's the reason, Neil, why at my age, being vaccinated and boosted, even though it didn't protect me against infection, I feel confident that it made a major role in protecting me from progressing to severe disease. And that's very likely why I had a relatively mild course. So my message to people who seem confused because people who are vaccinated get infected - the answer is if you weren't vaccinated, the likelihood [is] you would have had [a] more severe course than you did have when you were vaccinated. (Read more)
- Lord God, the data, analysis, and recommendations around COVID-19 vaccines have change so much it is hard to keep it all straight. We know confusion is not from you. So we pray for your wisdom to be given to all of us and increased discernment on what is right and what is the truth so that we can navigate these confusing times in Jesus' name.
- “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (I John 4:1)

9. World Health Organization now says gender 'exists on a continuum' and is 'beyond non-binary' - Fox News
The World Health Organization will update its gender guidance to reflect its belief that gender goes "beyond non-binary," the organization has announced.
The WHO has an existing "gender mainstreaming manual" which argues that there are many genders existing on a spectrum from male to female. The organization now says that does not go far enough, however.
The updated guidance will focus on "highlighting and expanding on the concept of intersectionality, which looks at how gender power dynamics interact with other hierarchies of privilege or disadvantage, resulting in inequality and differential health outcomes for different people," the WHO website reads at the time of reporting. (Read more)
- Oh Lord we know it hurts your heart that there is a growing community of people that are questioning their identity that leads them to having mental health issues and depressing thoughts. Lord God we know that this is a spiritual battle and that these mental instability‘s come from the enemy. We pray that power organizations would stand for truth instead of perpetuating confusion and divisiveness. We pray Lord that you would visit every questioning person Lord confirming your beautiful plan for each and every person living on the earth. In Jesus name amen.

10. Durham requests 30 subpoenas for testimony in trial against Steele source Igor Danchenko - Washington Examiner
Special counsel John Durham requested a federal court to issue 30 subpoenas for testimony in the trial against Igor Danchenko, British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s alleged main source for his discredited dossier.
Danchenko was charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI, which Durham says he made about the information he provided to Steele for the dossier. His trial is scheduled for October. The DOJ’s watchdog said FBI interviews with Danchenko “raised significant questions about the reliability of the Steele election reporting” and concluded Danchenko “contradicted the allegations of a ‘well-developed conspiracy’ in” Steele’s dossier. He has pleaded not guilty.
Durham’s brief court filing on Wednesday requested the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to issue “thirty subpoenas” for an “appearance before said Court at Alexandria, Virginia,” starting on Oct. 11 “to testify on behalf of the United States.” The potential witnesses are not named, but a copy of the blank subpoena reads that “YOU ARE COMMANDED to appear.” (Read more)
- Lord God we cover this trial in the precious blood of Jesus that the outcome would bring about justice, righteousness, and truth. And that those that committed crimes, lied, and deceived the American public would be held accountable for their actions. Amen.
- “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)

Stupidocrisy: Jill Biden's Racism
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 13, 2022
Don’t you just shake your head in amazement when leftists like First Lady Jill Biden think they are so above everyone else that they can throw out racist remarks and clothe them in love and respect. Mrs. Biden thinks that race and ethnicity are tied to food. Hence, Biden in a speech to the radical left National Council of La Raza, compared the Hispanic diversity in San Antonio with other cities “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.” Immediately, the Hispanic community caught on to the subtleties and launched a social media attack thanking her for clarifying that Democrats think Hispanics are “unique” like tacos. Biden’s remarks were considered culturally insensitive and racist.
The White House staff, which is so accustomed to the Biden family’s inappropriate, and quite frankly, stupid remarks, took nearly 24 hours to come up with an apology—probably because they were burning up the phones like habanero peppers trying to cool down their political base. Finally, the First Lady’s press secretary Michael LaRosa, issued a statement: “The First Lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community.” From the culturally incompetent Mrs. Biden’s perspective, she could establish an entire restaurant menu of ethnic and racial slurs. Just think what she could do with fried chicken, potatoes, perogies, curry, fish and chips, sushi and fortune cookies. Read More

Fallout NYC? New York City releases PSA on what to do in nuclear attack or incident
|
|
|
New York City Emergency Management Department acknowledged that a nuclear event in the city is low
|
|
|
New York City launched a public service announcement Monday over what to do after a nuclear weapon incident, despite the low likelihood of such a catastrophic event occurring in America's largest city.
The 1.5-minute PSA outlines three steps New Yorkers can take to mitigate the threats of nuclear exposure.
"While the likelihood of a nuclear weapon incident occurring in/near New York City is very low, it is important New Yorkers know the steps to stay safe," the city's Emergency Management Department said in a news release. "The new PSA encourages New Yorkers to take key, simple steps in the event of such an incident."
The PSA advises people to take several actions in the event of a nuclear incident. That includes getting inside and staying away from windows. Once inside, stay there, close all doors, and move to a basement if possible.
"If you were outside after the blast, get clean immediately. Remove and bag all outer clothing, to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body," the PSA advises.
The last is for people to stay tuned to the news media for updated information and watch for official alerts about when it's safe to go outside. The nuclear incident PSA finishes on a chipper note: "You've got this."
"As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is important that New Yorkers know we are preparing for any imminent threats and are providing them with the resources they need to stay safe and informed," Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol said. (Fox News) Read more here.
|
|
- Father God, we do pray that the good people of New York City will never have to survive a nuclear attack. Nevertheless, we honor the Emergency Management Agency in that city
for taking these steps to help their people prepare. Let us all walk in wisdom in the days ahead, depending upon You to guide us through these times. In Your Name, amen.
- "Go to the ant, you lazy one,
Observe its ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no chief,
Officer, or ruler,
8 Prepares its food in the summer
And gathers its provision in the harvest."
(Proverbs 6:6-8)

Groundbreaking full color-images revealing deepest
glimpse into cosmos yet unveiled
|
|
|
President Joe Biden unveiled the first full-color image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on Monday, an image that borders on the line between science and science-fiction as it is one of the deepest and highest-resolution views of the universe ever captured. NASA followed this up on Tuesday with more mind-boggling photos from the great expanse of outer space.
The "deep field" image gleans a look at a point in space 4.6 billion light-years away from Earth. This means that the light captured by the telescope was emitted from these distant objects before the formation of the Earth.
The magnificent photo of new worlds is of SMACS 0723, a cluster of distant galaxies that distorts the light around it to reveal even more distant worlds. Gravity is a powerful force, and with supermassive objects in space, gravity can actually bend light.
This phenomenon is also known as gravitational lensing and can reveal objects that otherwise would be too faint to be seen. The light distortion in the SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster combined with the tremendous power of the JWST can reveal ancient objects, potentially nearly as old as the universe itself.
"These images are going to remind the world that America can do big things, and a reminder to the American people, especially our children, that there's nothing beyond our capacity," President Biden stated at Monday's event revealing the first photo from the telescope. "We can see possibilities nobody has ever seen before, go places nobody has ever gone before." Read More

Superbook Reaches Shelters for Ukrainian Refugees in Poland, Fills Children with God's Love, Joy & Hope
|
|
There are no real winners in war and with Russia's relentless attacks against Ukraine, millions of the country's children have suffered the most. Their innocent young hearts and minds are suddenly marred by horrifying sounds and images of bombs and death. Many of these children and their mothers are now in Poland. To ease their trauma, a Filipino Superbook team traveled there to bring them God's Word and Gizmo. When Ukrainian mothers were asked why they left home and separated from their husbands, they replied, "It was for the sake of our children."
According to child psychologists, though, the effects of war on a child can last for a very long time. This is why Superbook Philippines Head, Icko Gonzalez, says he pushed to bring Gizmo along with the Superbook team to create happier memories for these Ukrainian children."The first time we meet them, they have blank faces, not too sure if they will receive you or not but the moment you smile, the moment you hug, show love to them, they reciprocate," Gonzalez said. "They want to know there's somebody for them knowing that their parents might be fighting the war in Ukraine. True to the theme song of Superbook, what we're bringing the kids is the Word of God," Gonzalez stated. "As the song goes, 'His Words forever alive, Superbook.'"
Our presence will be there for a while when we do activities with them but there's one thing that will stay with them forever, that hope can be found in Jesus. Ukrainian kids, Anya and Nazar, said they had so much fun in the Superbook camp. When asked what she learned from Superbook's "In The Beginning," Anya replied in English, "God loves." Rylowa is grateful for Superbook and shared how the program has left a much-needed impact on the children. "I want to thank you all for making this program for the kids. It helps them to somehow forget this situation in Ukraine and what has happened to them," she remarked. "It makes them happy to see all of this and to continue living with hope." (CBN) Read More Here
- Abba, we thank You for working through this children’s ministry to touch the hearts of Your little ones. May they sense Your presence and know the truth that You have promised to never forsake them! We pray they would grow to thirst after You and proclaim from mountain-tops that You, Lord, make the darkness as light as day.-In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
- “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)

At the cross of Jesus.
Refrain
O what comfort thou wilt find
At the cross of Jesus;
Love thy broken heart will bind
At the cross of Jesus.
Refrain
See the crimson waters flow
At the cross of Jesus;
Come and tell thy every woe
At the cross of Jesus.
Refrain
