Dave Ramsey Sued for $150 Million By Former Fans Who Followed His Timeshare Exit Advice
A group of former followers of Dave Ramsey has sued the Christian finance guru and radio host, along with his company and a marketing firm, for endorsing a failed timeshare exit company that allegedly defrauded customers out of millions.
Seventeen former Ramsey listeners filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Western Washington alleging Ramsey was paid as much as $30 million from 2015 to 2021 to endorse Timeshare Exit Team, a Kirkland, Washington-based firm that collected $200 million from clients — many of them Ramsey listeners — in exchange for a promise to free them from their timeshare obligations.
That promise came with a money-back guarantee.
But the company, which often collected more than $5,000 per customer, failed to live up to its promises.MORE

No money, no phones, no school, no medicine — and no questions.
This is what life was like in Canaan, the shrine of an African Apostolic faith church on the outskirts of Zimbabwe’s capital Harare, where police last month rescued hundreds of people — including more than 250 children — forced to believe that they were being prepared to depart for heaven.
As Zimbabwe remains in the throes of its harshest drought in more than three decades — what scientists say are effects of the El Niño phenomenon linked to climate change — for members of this African Apostolic cult, the natural disaster is a well-deserved sign from God.
To them, the drought and other calamities afflicting the people of Zimbabwe are a result of their acts of disobedience to God. Among those sins, according to them, has been immunizing children, taking the sick to hospital, sending children to school. and allowing non-virgins to marry.MORE

GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE THEIR MARCHING ORDERS AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Friday Church News Notes, April 26, 2024, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - We publish many facts about the terrible educational, moral, and spiritual condition of America’s public schools, but we don’t give these facts so that Bible-believing Christians will engage in “saving the schools.” There is no possibility of redeeming the public school system in America (or any other nation). It is godless and filthy beyond belief. It is the mystery of iniquity in near full bloom. But the government school system should never have been supported by God’s people even in its more benign condition at its inception in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is never right and biblic,,,MORE

ADL accuses Rep. Omar of ‘blood libel’ for saying some Jewish students pro-genocide
The head of the Anti-Defamation League on Saturday accused Democratic US Representative Ilhan Omar of spreading a blood libel after she implied Jewish students who support Israel amid its war against Hamas are “pro-genocide.”
Omar made the remarks as she visited anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University.
With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, anti-Israel protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to the country and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.MORE

EU top diplomat: At least 5 countries expected to recognize Palestinian state in May
Several European member states are expected to recognize Palestinian statehood by the end of May, the European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Monday at the sidelines of a World Economic Forum special meeting in Riyadh.
He said these included Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia and Malta.
The meeting between European and Arab officials took place on the sidelines of a two-day World Economic Forum special meeting in Riyadh, with the sides discussing shared partnership in advancing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“If we want to move this two-state solution forward it will not happen from the parties. I do not believe that Israel is ready to negotiate at this point, and I do not think that the US is ready to take the necessary leadership,” Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, one of the organizers of the meeting, told reporters after..MORE

The Biden Administration Redefined “Sex”; What Does This Mean for Teachers?
The Biden administration now says that “sex” means “gender identity.” So what does this mean for K-12 teachers?
In a new regulation released last week, the Biden administration changed the definition of “sex” in a crucial civil rights law that was originally designed to protect women. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act says that schools cannot discriminate against individuals based on sex, which gave women better access to higher education and athletics.
But the administration has swapped “sex” for “gender,” which will allow biological males access to females’ bathrooms, locker rooms, sports competitions, etc. K-12 educators around the country are wondering what to do next because this rule would have major implications for school facilities and athletic teams..MORE

Catastrophic reproductive damage after COVID shots: Gov't database
A new report is citing a Canadian government database showing an explosion of reproductive ailments as evidence of problems with side effects from the mRNA treatments mandated by governments and businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is past time for the Canadian medical and government establishment, along with mainstream medical professionals and legacy media, to stop gaslighting suffering patients. It is time for them to explore the dramatic evidence of the relationship between COVID vaccination rollout and the reproductive damage that tens of if not thousands of patients suffered," explained a substack report at BehindTheFDACurtain….SOURCE

Dr. Mercola: Expect an 'avalanche' of COVID-shot dementia
Dr. Joseph Mercola, an expert on natural health remedies and avowed critic of the government-mandated COVID shots that were imposed on the American public during the pandemic, now is warning about the evidence of a link between those mRNA shots and dementia.
At his Mercola.com website, he discusses his research and research by others into the links, often devastating, that are being confirmed between the COVID shots that so many governments and corporations demanded citizens take, and some very bad health outcomes...SOURCE

Trans Juggernaut Hits a Speedbump: Landmark Study Reveals ‘Transgender’ Kids Actually Have Other Mental Health Diagnoses, Instead
It’s been a red-letter week for destroying the gender narrative. And the trans juggernaut just hit another speed bump.
Fresh off the heels of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announcing that it would not allow transgender-identified men to compete in women’s athletic events in any of its association’s 239 small private schools, a landmark study was released on Wednesday that defies the hysterical warning that if gender dysphoric adolescents don’t receive “gender-affirming care,” they will kill themselves...Source.

Parts of the Bible Could Be Labeled 'Antisemitic' After Dangerous Bill Passes the House
In the rush to clamp down on the anti-Semitism running rampant on college campuses, the U.S. House might have overcorrected dramatically.
The “Antisemitism Awareness Act” — approved by the House in a 320-91 vote on Wednesday — raised concerns over its possible application to the Bible and criticism of the Israeli government.
The bill would adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s lengthy, multipart definition of “antisemitism” “for the enforcement of Federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities, and for other purposes.”
One part of that definition is “Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”...Source
