Every Evangelical should be disgusted by the NYT accusing Israel of ‘starving’ a child in Gaza – none of it was true

(Worthy Insights) – Every Evangelical Christian who values truth should be both sickened and angered by the conduct of the New York Times.

On Friday, the NYT published a front page story with this incendiary headline: “Young, Old, and Sick Starve to Death in Gaza: ‘There’s nothing.’”

To illustrate their accusation that Israel is purposefully starving the two million residents of the Gaza Strip, the NYT ran a photo of a severely emaciated child being held in his mother’s arms as she looks distraught and he looks like he’s on the verge of death. [ Source (Read More…) ]

NYT quietly alters Gaza starvation story to include key details of child’s medical condition

(Worthy Insights) – The New York Times amended its article that detailed starvation in Gaza on Tuesday to include that a child featured in the story and its front page, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, had a preexisting medical condition that impacts his appearance.

“We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated [Mutawaq] and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems.”

The amendment came after the Israeli Consulate General in New York made the request, and after the photo of Mutawaq with his brother spread across social media. The consulate informed the NYT of Mutawaq’s medical condition, according to Israeli media, citing Israeli sources. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Trump Notches Gargantuan Win for Christians Who Were Banned from Sharing Their Faith

(Worthy Insights) – President Donald Trump’s administration notched another huge win for Americans of faith on Monday, announcing that they would be able to share their religious beliefs at work.

The memo, The Hill noted, said that federal employees may persuade others why their religious beliefs are “correct” and that they would “be permitted to display and use items used for religious purposes or icons of a religiously significant nature, including but not limited to bibles, artwork, jewelry, posters displaying religious messages, and other indicia of religion (such as crosses, crucifixes and mezuzahs) on their desks, on their person, and in their assigned workspaces.”

“The Federal workforce should be a welcoming place for Federal employees who practice a religious faith. Allowing religious discrimination in the Federal workplace violates the law,” the memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management read. [ Source (Read More…) ]

2 Dozen Planned Parenthood Facilities Close Across the US: ‘Win for Babies’

(Worthy Insights) – This year is shaping up to be a bad one for Planned Parenthood.

The abortion giant has closed more than two dozen abortion facilities across the country, citing, in some cases, funding concerns caused by new federal regulations that prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements.

As CBN News reported, the Supreme Court recently ruled that states can disqualify Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs. Earlier this month, President Trump also signed the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which places a one-year freeze on Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements for the organization. [ Source (Read More…) ]

“My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years,” he said. [ Source (Read More…) ]

The key players in the Russia collusion hoax, and why they’re sweating now

(Worthy Insights) – The release of declassified material has shed new light on the creation of the Russian collusion investigation and many of the names are crushingly familiar. Indeed, Congress is moving to “round up the usual suspects” in light of the new revelations. It is the story of the real Russian conspiracy: how high-ranking officials in the Obama Administration seeded this false claim with the help of an eager, unquestioning press corps.

Not surprisingly, the media, which spent years repeating the false Russian collusion claims, is doing a full-court press to kill the story. Yet, many of these key figures are retaining counsel in anticipation of the unfolding investigation. Many previously secured contracts with MSNBC or CNN, or book deals, where they doubled down on the false claims detailed in these new documents. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Survey Reveals “Seismic Shift” As More Parents Reject Vaccine Schedule

(Worthy Insights) – A new survey published in the JAMA Network by researchers at Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that an increasing number of pregnant women and new mothers are delaying, or even outright refusing, government-recommended vaccines that hospitals and pediatricians push on newborns and young kids. The findings come just ahead of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s much-anticipated announcement on what the federal agency believes to be the root cause of the autism spike in children ahead of the fall school season.

Titled “Vaccination Intentions During Pregnancy and Among Parents of Young Children,” researchers found that 33% of parents with children under age 5 intend to delay or refuse some or all government-recommended vaccines. In contrast, only 4% of first-time pregnant women reported plans to delay or refuse all recommended vaccines.

Researchers noted that first-time pregnant women are increasingly distrustful of newborn vaccinations. About half of these women are unsure whether they will commit to the entire vaccine schedule promoted by the government, which includes dozens of shots, compared to only 4% of parents of young children who reported being uncertain about the same schedule.

Supreme Court justices being given another chance to fix their creation of same-sex ‘marriage’

(Worthy Insights) – A legal fight in Kentucky that erupted when same-sex marriage activists demanded a Christian clerk violate state law and grant them a “marriage” license just hours after the Supreme Court created that status in America, now has returned to the Supreme Court.

The case is asking the justices to reverse their decision from 10 years ago, and it uses the same arguments used several years back to successfully overturn Roe v. Wade, that longstanding, and error-loaded, ruling from 1973 that created an abortion right.

The Syracuse Law Review has explained that the arguments used to overturn Roe also could be used against “same-sex marriage.” Neither abortion nor marriage actually is in the U.S. Constitution, so justices over the years have manufactured reasons to support both “rights.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

After weeks of mysterious fires and explosions, Iranian regime suspects Israeli sabotage

(Worthy Insights) – One month after the surprise announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel by U.S. President Donald Trump, officials in the Islamic Republic fear that fighting could be ongoing in a more covert fashion.

For over two weeks now, a series of mysterious fires and explosions have been reported across the country of Iran, almost on a daily basis, and sometimes even two or three on the same day.

Publicly, Iranian officials have blamed an aging gas infrastructure, misuse of natural gas containers, or gas-fired water heaters for many of the incidents – but privately, many fear that at least some of the explosions could be instigated by Israel, according to a report in the New York Times.

‘This Time the Israeli Effort Is Different’: How Assassinations of Iranian Scientists Set Back Tehran’s Nuclear Program

(Worthy Insights) – Israel successfully assassinated 19 senior Iranian nuclear scientists during the 12-Day War, depriving Tehran’s atomic “weapons program of its most capable and experienced personnel,” according to a new intelligence assessment by a leading nonproliferation organization.

The military campaign evaporated decades of nuclear know-how, striking at the heart of Tehran’s weapons program in a way kinetic attacks could not, according to the Institute for Science and International Security.

“This act weakened Iran’s base for building nuclear weapons, eliminating needed expertise and hard-to-get management experience,” the organization determined. “This time the Israeli effort is different, and recovering may be far more difficult and take far longer.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
