BIDEN WATCH: 5.7.22 - Are Things Betting Better for the Republicans?

Are Things Betting Better for the Republicans? The liberal media and the Democrats are having a bad month. Both of them are suffering from poor ratings. President Biden’s approval ratings are down 33%. Biden frequently mispronounces words in his speeches. The press ignores the bloopers in his speech,but there is no covering up Biden trying to shake hands with an invisible person. After delivering a speech in North Carolina, he turned to his right and offered a handshake with no one there to receive it. He then turned his back to the audience and stood for a second or two before walking off the stage. Amid soaring inflation, 47% of the public say the economy is “poor,” the highest number in that category since 2012. Only 17% rank the economy as excellent or good, the lowest since 2014. Only one in five Americans describe their personal financial situation as “getting ahead,” the weakest showing in eight years. Most say they are “remaining in place,” and one in 10 say they are “falling backward.” Meanwhile, 56% say they expect a recessionin the next year — a level only achieved in the survey during an actual recession. The Republicans have a good chance of taking back the Senate and the House this fall. In a normal year, the party out of power picks up several seats. As it stands right now, the Republicans appear set to have a sizable majority in the House and a slim leadin the Senate. Many liberal organizations are having a difficult time drawing viewers. Following a string of reports about underwhelming subscriber numbers, Discovery has reportedly decided to shut down CNN+, CNN’s ill-fated streaming service, one month after its launch.CNN+’s dramatic failure to launch comes after it lured talent such as Chris Wallace from Fox News and Kasie Hunt from NBC News. Netflix’s stock fell sharply last week after the streaming giant posted disappointing first-quarter earnings, prompting a flurry of price target cuts and critique from analysts. Netflix saw exponential growth in earlier years. As Netflix started producingmore leftist content, many conservatives started backing away from the service. The Obamas are set to part with Spotify after the streaming giant decided against offering a new deal, a report says. The Obama’s helped boost Spotify’s podcast credentials after announcing in June 2019 that they would develop and produce audio shows forthe streaming giant. Higher Ground had begun shopping for new deals in recent months ahead of the end of the three-year deal, podcast industry insiders previously told Insider. Spotify and the Obamas are parting ways because they are boring. I constantly monitorthe news, and I’ve never run across a story that quoted the former President and his wife’s media project. Walt Disney Co. has been protesting a New Florida law that blocks teachers from talking to young students about sex. Florida legislators passed a bill that revoked a special tax status given to the company in 1967. I couldn’t find any articles on how muchit would cost Disney. Walt Disney Co. has no business sticking its nose into matters that should solely be between a parent and their children. Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for $46.5 billion. By making the offer, he revealed how the leftists view social media as the exclusive domain. Twitter’s board of directors threatened to fight back with a “poison pill” strategy, allowing it to flood themarket with new shares if Musk buys more than 15 percent of the company. Fending off Musk’s $46.5 billion offer by creating more shares could dilute the value of shareholders’ stock — but Twitter’s 10 board members own just a tiny portion, Musk noted in an April 16 tweet: “The Twitter board collectively owns almost no shares!Objectively, their economic interests are simply not aligned with shareholders.” Musk’s reason for wanting to purchase Twitter is to increase the value of the firm by making it open to people of all views. The Twitter board is only after power, and their willingness to damage the firm’s financials shows their lust for control. I’m hopeful that the mid-term elections will go well for the Republicans. It is depressing to realize Bible prophecy predicts that any respite will only be brief, but the ultimate joy comes in knowing that someday all of the ungodly will be blown away likechaff for grain. “The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodlyshall perish” (Psalms 1:4-6, KJV). –Todd --------------------------- Of famine and inflation - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com The onset of the COVID lockdowns and resulting supply chain disruptions combined with record high inflation and the ongoing war in Ukraine may be a perfect storm that causesfood shortages both in the US and abroad. In fact, Joe Biden, during a March 24 news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, said, “With regard to food shortage, yes, we did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real. The price of thesesanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.” Biden would have people believe that food may be scarce solely because of Russia’s war, but that’s just hisway of deflecting blame. Wars always cause famine and displacement of people either locally or on a larger scale. Ten years ago, the Obama Administration’s destabilization of the Middle East by supportingthe overthrow of governments for Sharia Law “democracies” and rumors of war with Israel and Iran caused extremely high gas prices and resulting inflation. Food prices rose and food shortages existed in many parts of the world. But it wasn’t just the wars inthe Middle East that caused this inflation, it was also economic policies that increased government debt by the trillions, which has continued under the Biden Administration. Fiscal policy, COVID lockdowns, and mandates contribute to Americans now seeing limitedfood choices at grocery stores, and even some shelves bare of products they regularly would consume. Couple these macro policies with local disruptions, such as the mysterious fires that have taken place since January at 17 food processing and distribution plants across theUS, Americans may need to prepare for high food prices and shortages. We face the same thing in our Ghana ministry. The COVID lockdowns and fiscal policies placed a tremendous strain on food distribution, leaving many in rural areas without food and starving.With the global food supply so dependent on international trade, any war, natural disaster, economic disruption or government policies like lockdowns can cause food disruption. Interesting that this occurred during Obama’s Administration, and is now againreturning even worse with his former vice president’s policies. In Matthew 24:3, disciples of Christ ask him, “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Christ outlinesa very succinct chronology of what to expect before His return. This account tracks with Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah and many other books of the Bible. Revelation 6:6 speaks of “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barleyfor a denarius,” which is a day’s wages for each. One thing for certain, wars and rumors of wars historically produce times of high inflation. When the latter day judgments begin on the earth, there is conquering, killing, war, famine and inflation. We haveseen types and shadows of them throughout history. We are now in another such cycle. Be prepared. Turn your hearts toward the Lord. Keep the faith and encourage others. --------------------------
