Hillary already had her turn. Bill should have gone first because she told some whoppers and she’s now putting him on the hot-seat. I wish I didn’t have to write the update right now, because there are bound to be some bombshells.

There’s panic at CNN. They’re losing money hand over fist, and something has to change. All that we see is that Trump is tanking in the polls. But CNN is in trouble. There are insider reports that everybody’s scared to death of being let go. They should have thought of that.

Trump’s State of the Union speech was epic. All the mainstream are panning it, claiming he made misstatements, which is a nice way of saying he lied. We’re going to find out who lied.

Ilhan Omar may have to find a way to enjoy her millions in Somalia. Trump called out Somalia, saying it’s a free for all. They have nothing but dirt and skinny cows.

Everyone’s sitting light on the Epstein matter. Maybe we’ll find out who paid for his murder, maybe not. But now it’s come out that he has storage units all over the U. S., and if that’s true we’re going to find out what, and who. If we can stand it. I’m not sure I want to know the details. In fact I’m sure I don’t. But these guys who thought they’d be untouchable aren’t. There’s news that Trump might be implicated, but you have to consider the source.

I’ve been informed that Pakistan and Afghanistan have declared war. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference in the way they believe, so… Pardon me, but I’ve been to Israel and to say that the Arabs are unreasonable would be an understatement. I don’t know who to root for.

The war in Ukraine is ongoing. The statistics on the killing are chilling, and I don’t know where to go after that. Hope they figure something out. If there’s a war, I’d rather it be in the Middle East. Maybe you’ve understood that I don’t like or trust Zelensky. He was a comedian, still is. In combat garb. The idea of him standing up to Trump is one I can’t abide. Somebody better get good sense, and quick.

P. S. We’ve mailed the monthly letter, so you should get that soon. Things are moving so fast that it may be old news. I hope not. At least it’ll be accurate, which is something you can’t say about the news.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is demanding answers from several prominent news agencies after criticism emerged of their photographers and their links to Hamas on the day of its barbaric attack.

As Breitbart News reported Wednesday, AP said that it had no foreknowledge of the attack, even though its photographers appeared alongside Hamas terrorists from the first moments they broke through the Gaza border fence.

I bet you thought you’d never see Donald Trump getting interrogated by CNN.  Obviously, it was a ratings play that CNN desperately needed.  But it didn’t go well for CNN or the girl asking the questions.  Watch it if you can.  Reports are circulating that the network ended the town hall nearly a half hour early, and no wonder why.  The crowd was extremely vocal in Donald Trump’s favor.  Can you even imagine the headset chatter while this was taking place?  There must have been gnashing of teeth behind the scenes.  Now some of the familiar faces are angry.  How dare CNN, of all places, give Donald Trump the forum to outwit them and draw laughter at the same time?  It was probably one of the biggest audiences for CNN in some time, and Trump made the network and the host look unprepared.  The left gets so unabashedly embarrassed that their only retort is to cancel the guy.  They obviously can’t compete.  So they brand Trump’s wit a pack of lies, and that’s all they’ve got.  I’m having a hard time getting over the fact that he told the female lawyer  she wasn’t his type during a deposition.  That’s brash, and wonderful.  

You can’t escape the border crisis.  The government is telling us they’ve got it under control.  Mayorkas is trying to explain through that idiotic grin, but the pictures tell a different story.  Last night Governor Gregg Abbott appeared with a story of officers using  concertina wire to block the entry of hordes that had already crossed the Rio Grande.  Why hasn’t this been going on all along?  Is there a border there, or not?  Reports claim that everybody is getting free cell phones and being released with notices to appear, ten years from now.  Meanwhile, where would they like to go?  Sending them to New York, Chicago or Detroit turned out to be more than a gimmick.  It’s a headache for “compassionate” Mayors, but at least they’re not in Texas anymore.  

But apparently Title 42 (remain in Mexico) has expired, and we have no , border.  Here comes South America.  What on earth?  Let’s argue about trannies, shall we?

There have been revelations this week that would lead any sane person to change their identity and try to escape to some unlikely paradise.  But it’s going to be a slow motion train wreck instead.  It’s in black and white now, but you wouldn’t know anything if dependent on mainstream outlets.  Shell corporations all over the place, shuttling payments from one to another before finally reaching their intended destination.  Yeah, there’s nothing to see here.  It’ll take forever, and the agencies and corporations will run interference for the duration.  We’ve known things for years that would have changed outcomes, but somehow they never come to fruition.  This money for nothin’ looks bad, but escape hatches are being mapped out, and who knows what they’ll try to make us believe.  This should be good.  

Meanwhile we’re treated like a bunch of imbecilic automatons by those who would inform us. You’re probably talking back to your TV too.  Who can stand it?  These talking heads tell us what to believe and how to look at the devastation being wrought.  The pretender shows up with that squint to read some statement, and the mainstream breathes a sigh of relief.  Maybe everybody will back off now.  

It seems that the mounting evidence may have been underestimated.  But who knows?  Some sweetheart pleading out of lesser charges, maybe a pardon of all family members.  We’re already off the charted map, and the powers that be seem to have an agenda.  America is being overrun, deceived at all costs and spent into oblivion over global warming.  People are starting to get irritated.  May America withstand the onslaught of non-sense, and survive to be saved.

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – May 12, 2023 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

In April, the CDC overhauled its ratings system for assessing COVID-19 risk for travelers.

The Level 3 “high” risk category is now the top rung in terms of risk level. Level 2 is considered “moderate” risk. Level 1 is “low” risk.

Level 4, previously the highest risk category, is now reserved only for special circumstances, such as extremely high case counts, emergence of a new variant of concern or health care infrastructure collapse. Under the new system, no destinations have been placed at Level 4 so far.

The “Level 3: COVID-19 High” category now applies to countries that have had more than 100 cases per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days.

The three places joining Level 3 this week are:

• Mexico
• New Caledonia
• United Arab Emirates

Mexico, a favorite destination for US tourists, and the UAE, the Middle East’s glitzy hot spot, were at Level 2 last week.

New Caledonia, renowned among scuba divers, was in the unknown category previously, meaning the CDC did not have enough data from the Pacific Ocean destination to assign a category.

There were almost 115 destinations at Level 3 on June 13. Level 3 locations account for almost half of the roughly 235 places monitored by the CDC.

Level 3
Mexico and the UAE aren’t the only travel favorites in the “high” risk category. Many other popular travel destinations are also at Level 3.

Much of Europe has been stubbornly lodged there for months as the summer travel season has begun. As of June 13, the following popular European destinations were among those remaining at Level 3:

• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Ireland
• Italy
• The Netherlands
• Portugal
• Spain
• United Kingdom

It’s not just European favorites that find themselves at Level 3. Numerous notable travel destinations around the world are among those in the ‘high’ risk category, including the following:

• Brazil
• Canada
• Costa Rica
• Malaysia
• South Korea
• Thailand

The CDC advises that you get up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines before traveling to a Level 3 destination. Being “up-to-date” means you have had not only the full initial vaccinations but any boosters for which you’re eligible.

Level 2
Destinations carrying the “Level 2: COVID-19 Moderate” designation reported 50 to 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days. Three places were moved to this level on Monday:

• Cape Verde
• Honduras
• Saba

The move was good news for Honduras and the quiet Caribbean island of Saba, which had been at Level 3. Cape Verde, an Atlantic Ocean archipelago off the coast of Africa, had been at Level 1.

There were only 16 destinations listed in Level 2 on June 13.

You can view the CDC’s risk levels for any global destination on the agency’s travel recommendations page.

In its broader travel guidance, the CDC has recommended avoiding all international travel until you are fully vaccinated.

If you’re concerned about a travel-specific health situation not related to COVID-19, check here.

Level 1
To be in “Level 1: COVID-19 Low,” a destination must have had 49 or fewer new cases per 100,000 residents over the past 28 days. Just two destinations were added to the category on June 13:

• Cuba
• Iraq

Both nations had been at Level 2.

Unknown
Finally, there are the destinations the CDC has deemed to be of “unknown” risk because of a lack of information. Usually, but not always, these are small, remote places or places with ongoing warfare or unrest. This week, two places were added to this category:

• Belarus
• Maldives

Both had been at Level 3 last week.

The CDC advises against travel to these places precisely because the risks are unknown. Other destinations in this category include Cambodia, the Canary Islands, Macau and Tanzania.

A medical expert weighs in on risk levels
Transmission rates are just “one guidepost” for travelers’ personal risk calculations, according to CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen.

We’ve moved into “a phase in the pandemic where people need to make their own decisions based on their medical circumstances as well as their risk tolerance when it comes to contracting COVID-19,” said Wen, who is an emergency physician and professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health.

There are other factors to weigh in addition to transmission rates, according to Wen.

“Another is what precautions are required and followed in the place that you’re going and then the third is what are you planning to do once you’re there,” she said.

“Are you planning to visit a lot of attractions and go to indoor bars? That’s very different from you’re going somewhere where you’re planning to lie on the beach all day and not interact with anyone else. That’s very different. Those are very different levels of risk.”

Vaccination is the most significant safety factor for travel, since unvaccinated travelers are more likely to become ill and transmit COVID-19 to others, Wen said.

And it’s also important to consider what you would do if you end up testing positive away from home.

While US-bound travelers no longer have to present a negative COVID-19 test to get home, the CDC still advises testing before boarding flights back to the States and not traveling if you are sick.

“Of course, if people have symptoms or exposure while traveling, they need to get tested, and if they test positive, to follow CDC’s isolation guidelines,” Wen told CNN Travel on Friday.

Will CNN change its tune? There’s quite an interesting dynamic playing out at the Atlanta network, and you probably know the details. The fact that there is so much money for them to grapple over is a scandal in itself. It might be entertaining to watch two Trump haters trying to ruin each other. But with the kind of money that is at stake, they’ll survive. Makes you wonder who the advertisers are, if only we were willing to watch long enough to find out.

But that is the crux of the problem with China. You’re no doubt aware of the fact of the diplomatic boycott of the Olympics. Putin and Xi are already there, but no American government officials on account of “human rights abuses.” We occasionally hear about the Muslim Uyghur population, re-educated at a bare minimum, in camps constructed for that purpose. Chairman Xi fixed that for you. Apparently an Uyghur helped light the Olympic torch. The immediate question is, what would have happened if he’d refused? Athletes who chose to compete have had warnings about saying anything that might be construed as critical of the Chinese. Even the old bat has issued a statement.

Back to the point, apparently the corporations see their growth potential as being in China. If something’s not good for America, too bad. The almighty dollar is the top priority. You’ll notice there hasn’t been a lot of talk about the debt, but the cabal in charge has been running it up through the roof. It’s enough to make you feel, and act, hopeless about the future. On top of the debt, the occupant’s scriptwriter is subtly doing everything imaginable to hobble Americans because of the environment, social justice or whatever.

There are some things the government can’t do to us on account of the Constitution and the Bill or Rights. But the corporations are doing whatever the government recommends. They’re doing it to their employees, they’re making demands of their clients. Two years after the fact, the CDC has finally admitted that natural immunity is at least as good as the vaccine. But don’t worry, the places that are staying open will still demand your papers.

Some of the arguments being made are downright comical. Shaq says the mandates and lockdown orders are the dumbest thing he’s ever heard of. Uh-oh. The interview with CBS, which incidentally enforces the vaccine on employees, did not go well. There are respected studies showing that the lock-downs did more harm than good. If you’re not seeing that on the mainstream news, it’s because they pushed, shamed the non-complaint and brought in lackeys to call the non-compliant guilty of “not caring.” And potentially manslaughter if not murder. No wonder we can’t watch.

It’s beginning to look like every household name we know and love has cast it’s lot with China. It’s a financial decision and one that doesn’t bode well for the future of the U. S. The vast upwardly mobile market just represents unlimited riches. Why should they worry about America when they can dominate one sector or another in China? There is evidence, documentation and e-mails suggesting that the occupant has taken advantage of, shall we say, financial help from his son who is on corporate boards operated by the Chinese government. Ever heard of Peter Schweitzer? We’re all but scared to read his book. The mainstream and the occupant himself says it’s a smear job. Russian disinformation.

We’ve been through infuriating cycles before, but nothing quite rose to the current level. It would be easy to be hopeless and beaten, but maybe we’re not beaten. There may be a lot of rabble-rousers who demand that “society” make them rich, while they rage about racism. The most daring are smashing jewelry cases at retail stores. Who’s betting that every one of them is out on bail. We may never know. Unless…

Unless some of the lies get jammed down the mainstream media’s throat. It’s not nice to lie to everyone, particularly if you present yourself as America’s Most Trusted Name in News, or whatever.

Ukraine is still hanging fire. Troops are being publicly put on high alert in nearby NATO countries. Germany has bowed out. The pipeline, you know. Everybody saw this coming, we just didn’t expect it to happen so fast. A quick look at the “diplomats” who have our future all figured out says it all. At their recent planning session in Davos, they admitted to respecting and trusting each other even though nobody else does. Now that the public everywhere in the Western world has shown a willingness to comply with each and every mandate, logical or otherwise, they’ve got big plans for us.

What’s going on in Israel? The people have complied. The population is double and triple-vaxed at the highest rate on record, and having the greatest Corona virus crisis on earth. Maybe it’s good that Netanyahu is out of office, for now. He is being pursued by prosecutors for crimes aplenty, and has been mighty quiet, unlike somebody we know. But the analogy is eerily accurate.

Trouble is brewing among the Arab nations, some of which have made buddies with Israel and others that are standing by their historical posture. The war in Yemen continues, but somebody’s hitting the UAE with drone-launched explosives, and they think it’s in support of the Houthis that are fighting in Yemen. It’ll never end. Not in this era.

Who could have expected the Canadian truckers to shut down the Capitol in Ottawa over health rules and mandates. They have my respect, even though the Prime Minster so often photographed in blackface, has called them racist and evil. What a dork.

A couple of things you’ll remember my Dad saying from time to time. One is that Israel will tear itself apart internally in the absence of an outside enemy. He also said that end-time events would be brought about by a worldwide financial collapse. There’s astonishingly good news on the other side. If the media displayed some honesty there might be good news on this side. We can take comfort in the knowledge of how it ends. God will only put up with the success of evil for so long. We’re more fragile.

The post CNN’s Don Lemon says Trump voters are on the side of Nazis & the Klan first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

We were warned that hospitals would be overrun.  They were sure to run out of ventilators, if not hospital beds.  Car companies were recruited to manufacture ventilators instead of cars.  Now nobody knows what to do with them all, and they’re being shipped to other countries all over the world.  Decisions that upended and impoverished millions were made based on predictions that were wildly inaccurate.  But don’t worry, they’ll all get “government money.”

The illness is real, not a hoax.  But “reporting” on the matter is a story unto itself.  This isn’t the media’s first rodeo.  Maybe they believe they’re getting better at perpetuating these frauds on the American public.  They spent three years trying to make us believe that General Michael Flynn was a Russian agent, and said those very words on the air.  They were sure or wanted all of us to be sure, that Trump was doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin, and said as much so many times you couldn’t count them.  (That’s all blowing up in their faces with new revelations this week.  Documents that prove the whole thing was a frame job have been released.  For some unknown reason the DOJ and FBI have been sitting on these all this time, and they prove what we’ve known for nearly three years.  But the mainstream still hasn’t a clue.)  After manipulating the public for years with nonsense that was obvious to anyone not relying on the mainstream papers and networks, we’re supposed to buy the panic they’re selling?

It looks like they’re inflating the numbers of illnesses and deaths.  We know all the early projections were four and five times the actual COVID numbers are as queer as several of the news anchors who report them.  There are numerous anecdotal examples, unreported in the mainstream press, to show that illnesses and deaths are being attributed to the virus on the basis of assumption.  The reason may have something to do with the allocation of “government money.”

But it’s a smirkfest on CNN.  A video is played of the President stating that he hopes to be able to hold rallies again, beginning sometime before the November election.  When the camera returns to the anchor desk you get a series of knowing looks (Don Lemon), a disgusted scowl, and an exasperated shaking of the head.  They just cannot believe what a dork we’ve got for president, or that any sane person wouldn’t agree.

Speaking of queer numbers, have you seen how badly Joe Biden is going to beat President Trump in the upcoming election?  Oh yeah, he’s going to beat Trump as soundly as Hillary Clinton did, maybe worse.  They love their numbers, don’t they?  Especially when their numbers are impossibly bad for President Trump.  Then they sneer at us for rejecting “facts.”  Given their recent and continuing record, it becomes clear, this is no accident.  They’ve pushed one false narrative after the other, beating each to death. But nothing works on the public like fear.

The great toilet paper crisis was utterly unnecessary.  But stand by.  They are pushing a meat shortage now, and one will probably be created leaving empty counters at the supermarket.  Apparently, that’s already the case in some places.  The news people are terribly skeptical about states allowing people to go about their lives while the “death count” is still rising.  But then, they haven’t been very good about predictions.

The reaction to the pandemic has been like an exercise in socialism.  We’re seeing dictatorial actions that make little logical sense, and then more drastic clampdowns when people do what they want anyway.  Like what happened at California beaches last weekend.  Aerial photos made it appear as though people were allowing a lot more than six feet between families. But there were thousands out there and governor Newsom was incensed that his “orders” had been disobeyed.  So this weekend he’s ordered the beaches closed.  Get back indoors, where it’s safe and healthy!  The other thing is the flood of money the government is distributing.  A couple or three trillion is out the door, and we’re beginning to wonder if there’s any end to it.  Are there no longer any consequences when the national debt explodes?

A headline today says the pandemic could last two years.  If the media has anything to say about it, it’s probably all we’ll hear for at least that long.

There’s still no visible sign of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.  Nobody’s sure if he’s sick or dead, or just partying with the concubines at a seaside resort.  At least no one is lowering their children down manhole passages, worrying that a missile strike could come at any moment.  Now we’re wondering what ridiculous “orders” we will be under, and whether the police will jail otherwise law-abiding citizens while letting actual criminals run free.  It’s the “new normal.”  (Forgive me.)

It looks as though we’ll be holding our meetings for the Feast of Tabernacles this year unless Dr. Fauci says otherwise.  Maybe even if he does.  We’ve got more to think about than the latest report, and it’s nice to think about something else for a change.  We’re holding a Sabbath service tomorrow at the regular time and hope things will be normal for everybody soon.

NO APOLOGIES FROM CNN, MAINSTREAM MEDIA: CNN, MSNBC and other members of the mainstream media are not apologizing for the way they covered President Trump and the Russia collusion investigation …Some pundits on CNN, like former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, are defending their years of analysis while others are mostly remaining silent on their coverage. Rudy Giuliani, in a heated interview Monday with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, demanded that the network apologize; Cuomo refused. Some members of the mainstream media suggested that Trump was the one who should apologize – to Robert Mueller for trashing his investigation as a “witch hunt” for two years.

Either way, the end of the Mueller investigation is not the end of the story. Democrats want the Justice Department to release Mueller’s entire report. Meanwhile, Trump allies are awaiting the results of two long-running internal probes that could expose the backstory behind the Russia probe’s beginnings — and provide more detail on documented misconduct among top FBI and DOJ officials.

• Dershowitz: CNN ‘banned’ me
• Trump Jr.: Russia collusion ‘the greatest farce ever perpetrated on our democracy’
• DOJ, FBI stonewalled House GOP request for McCabe texts, sources say

AVALANCHE OF TROUBLE FOR AVENATTI – AND HE SUGGESTS TRUMP IS TO BLAME: Michael Avenatti, former attorney for adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels, is free on $300,000 bond Tuesday as he faces serious charges in two separate federal cases in New York and Los Angeles … In New York, he is accused of attempting to extort between $15 and $25 million from sports apparel giant Nike. A suspected co-conspirator working alongside Avenatti in the alleged extortion was identified Monday by the Associated Press and Wall Street Journal as now-former CNN contributor Mark Geragos, who has represented celebrities including Michael Jackson and more recently, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett.

In addition, Avenatti is charged with wire fraud and bank fraud in a separate case out of California. In a statement to Fox News late Monday, Avenatti suggested the California case against him is politically-motivated and has ties to the Trump administration.

FUNDS TO ‘BUILD THAT WALL’ OK’ED: The Pentagon notified Congress late Monday that it authorized the transfer of up to $1 billion to erect 57 miles of “pedestrian fencing”along the U.S.-Mexico border in direct support of President Trump’s national emergency declaration from last month … The fencing, which will be 18 feet high, is to be erected in the Yuma and El Paso sectors, the statement read. The Pentagon’s announcement was made as Trump nears a victory over Democrats as the House tries to override his first veto, a vote that seems certain to fail and allow his declaration to stand. The vote, which is set for Tuesday, would keep Trump’s border emergency declaration intact.

SEEKING THE TOTAL OVERTURN OF OBAMACARE: The Trump administration on Monday told a federal appeals court that the whole Affordable Care Act must be abolished, setting for a clash between President Trump and 2020 Democratic candidates embracing “Medicare for All” system … Justice Department attorneys filed a letter with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans asking to effectively strike down the ACA in its entirety, agreeing with the landmark ruling made by a federal judge in Texas last year.

SECOND MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT DEM DONOR’S HOME RULED AN OVERDOSE: The death of second man at the West Hollywood apartment of  Democratic Party megadonor has been ruled an overdose, according to a report … Timothy Dean, 55, was the second man found dead in the apartment of donor Ed Buck over an 18-month span. Buck has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidates and is well known in LGBTQ political circles. Authorities reportedly determined that Dean died from a methamphetamine overdose.

THE SOUNDBITE

‘WORST JOURNALISTIC DEBACLE OF MY LIFETIME’ –  “It is the worst journalistic debacle of my lifetime and I’ve been in this business about 50 years. I’ve never seen anything quite this bad last this long. It was a terrible thing. There needs to be a lot of soul-searching among many leading members of the media today and going forward.” – Brit Hume, Fox News senior political analyst, eviscerating the mainstream media’s coverage of President Trump and the Russia collusion investigation.  (Click the image above to watch the full video.)
