Trapped Americans In Sudan "Shocked & Disgusted" - Left By Biden To Fend For Themselves
Update(1302ET): Sudan is continuing to stare into the abyss of full-blown civil war as the battle for control of the capital of Khartoum between two rival generals - now reaching the two week mark - results in a mounting death toll. Currently, dozens of countries have for days been racing to get their citizens out via military transport planes, ships, and via cross-border land routes into Ethiopia and neighboring countries, but not the United States.
A surprisingly blunt report voicing intense criticism toward the Biden administration has been issued by CNN Friday, which writes, "As the crisis in Sudan continues to unfold, there is mounting anger among Americans who feel abandoned by the US government and left to navigate the complicated and dangerous situation on their own."

He added that inciting "the split in China will bring the Japanese people into the fire".
Japanese officials have said that any contingency in Taiwan will be tantamount to an unpredictable situation in Japan.

Canada has taken another big step to becoming Communist China
The first of a series of internet censorship bills, Bill C-11, has been enacted into Canadian law.
(LifeSiteNews) — The first of a series of internet censorship bills has been enacted into law. Bill C-11, now law, gives the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) the ability to regulate what it says is “commercial” video content on sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Apple Music, and Spotify. However, because the bill does not define what “commercial” means, critics have long warned it carries the potential to severely stifle free speech online, and could likely also impact individual users.
Is the world undergoing an extinction-level population COLLAPSE? The very survival of the human race may be at stake
(Natural News) People are no longer having children, and trends suggest that a worldwide population collapse is now in motion because of it.
Both in the industrialized world and in the developing world, birth rates are barely remaining stable, at best. At worst, and this seems to be the case for most countries, population numbers are declining at an increasing rate.
Coupled with a decline in average life expectancy in the United States and elsewhere, likely due to Fauci Flu shots, the future looks grim for humanity.

FDA approves 1st pill made from human poop
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first pill manufactured from donated human poop, the agency announced Wednesday (April 26). It's the second human poop-derived treatment ever approved; the first was an enema-based treatment cleared for use in December 2022.
Previously, such "fecal microbiota transplants" were considered investigational treatments and were therefore harder for patients to access and often not covered by insurance.

Population collapse -- "the future looks grim for humanity"? Rather than looking at statistics, look at what populations everywhere are DOING. The immediate future looks very grim, as God responds. Beyond that the future looks very bright.
Major cities look less "busy"? San Francisco is 100 miles or so from us. We used to go there fairly often. Now, we don't want anything to do with it. Is there any mystery here? Is there a connection with destroying small businesses, or with lawless leaders encouraging lawlessness?
