Common sense wins the day on definition of a woman

UK - It’s pretty straightforward to decide who comes out best from the Supreme Court’s unanimous verdict on, believe it or not, “what is a woman?” Obviously, and certainly in my opinion, the vast majority of women everywhere will reckon they do and, of course, so will the four women who took their fight all the way to the UK’s highest court and won. But right at the top of the list of victors should go good old-fashioned common sense. That’s what Wednesday’s learned judgement delivered. It is a ridiculous situation that should never have reached the highest court in the land: it shouldn’t have been judges deciding what is or isn’t a woman. Biology and nature, combined with common sense, should have made that abundantly clear to everyone.

 
The courts have spelled out what our politicians are too scared to say

UK - In a clear and unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that sex in the Equality Act 2010 means biological sex. A Gender Recognition Certificate does not change that. Certification does not equate to biological sex. To put it bluntly, trans women – men who identify as women, however they have modified themselves – are not biological women and can therefore not enter spaces reserved for us.

Trans rules torn up after Supreme Court decision

UK - Public bodies are under pressure to tear up pro-trans guidance after a ruling that only biological women are women. The decision by the Supreme Court that laws against sex-based discrimination should only apply to biological women will lead to a raft of changes. They are expected to include who can access single-sex NHS wards, which police officers can carry out strip searches, and who can join female teams in elite sport.

This Supreme Court ruling is catastrophic for woke industrial complex

UK - The Supreme Court has dealt a killer blow to woke activists. Handily for Mr Starmer - who seemed perennially puzzled - the Supreme Court ruling also answers that tricky question “can a woman have a penis?” No. No she can’t. Like the Cass report before it, which savaged years of the NHS’s “gender affirming” practices of ramming puberty blockers down the necks of young teens at the merest suggestion they might be sexually confused the most mind-blowing revelation of today’s Court ruling is just how we, the tolerant, silent, kind majority, put up with the madness for so long. There was always an annoying logical inconsistency built into the phrase “transwomen are women”. Nope. Women are women. And trans-women are trans-women. Saying “trans-women are women” was always linguistically wrong – as from today it’s legally wrong too.

 
Trump is offering Brexit Britain a once-in-a-generation chance

USA - Not since Britain voted to leave the sinking European project have we been offered such an opportunity. Yesterday, US Vice-President JD Vance was unequivocal. ‘The President really loves the United Kingdom,’ he said in an interview. ‘He loved the Queen. He admires and loves the King. And he’s a businessman and has a number of important business relationships in Britain. But I think it’s much deeper than that. There’s a real cultural affinity... I think there’s a good chance that, yes, we’ll come to a great agreement that’s in the best interest of both countries.’

Trump has already lost his trade war against China

USA - America has misjudged China horribly before. Hyperpower hubris turned the Korean War into a direct conflict between US and Chinese troops. President Harry Truman thought he had free licence to hurl parts of the US Eighth Army across the 38th parallel in October 1950 and roll back the whole of communist North Korea. Advisers assured him that the infant regime of Mao Tse-tung was too weak to intervene, and too ill-equipped to make much difference if it dared. It was the worst failure of US strategic analysis in modern times. US-led forces faced rout, encirclement and total humiliation as 200,000 Chinese troops poured across the Yalu River.

Chinese investors aren’t to blame for the death of British Steel. Net zero is

UK - Nationalisation will force the Government to finally face up to the real costs of green utopianism. The British Government has made a historic intervention to save the final remnant of the nation’s steel industry. Under the circumstances, it is the right thing to do. Aside from the livelihoods of the employees concerned, the overwhelming justification for doing so is the strategic imperative not to rely entirely on imports for this critical basic commodity. But it might also be that nationalisation is the only way to force the British state to wake up to the crisis in manufacturing which its own policies have created.

EU Is Now Willing to Renegotiate Trade Deal with US

EUROPE - Last Thursday, the European Union announced they would suspend retaliatory tariffs on America for 90 days. This comes a day after President Trump elected to suspend tariffs on more than 75 countries for the identical number of days. “We want to give negotiations a chance… if negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement. Von der Leyen also reiterated that she wants America to accept a zero-for-zero trade offer on industrial goods. As TGP reported, the bloc believes this will help address some of Trump’s concerns. But it’s not likely to satisfy Trump. Moreover, von der Leyen did not mention accepting American agricultural products, which the snobby EU views as poisonous and inferior to theirs. On Monday, EU Trade Chief Maros Sefcovic announced he is seeking a fair deal on tariffs with the United States.

 
VP Vance: Europe cannot remain the “permanent security vassal” of the US

USA - In his first major interview with European media, Vice President JD Vance asserted that Europe must not remain a “permanent security vassal” of the United States, arguing that the enduring post-World War II security framework no longer serves the interests of either Americans or Europeans. Vance’s remarks — delivered during an interview with the UK outlet UnHerd on Monday — come at a time of mounting political friction between the United States and Europe, driven largely by sharp divisions over the Russo-Ukrainian war and disputes surrounding member states’ NATO funding. The Vice President voiced frustration with Europe’s longstanding approach to security, describing it as a persistently neglected priority. “The reality is — it’s blunt to say it, but it’s also true — that Europe’s entire security infrastructure, for my entire life, has been subsidized by the United States of America.”

 
Controligarchs: Control freaks and billionaires who think the world is overpopulated

USA - Oligarchs are typically extremely wealthy people with a close relationship with the government. Recently we’ve heard the term “Big Tech oligarchs” referring to the wealthiest in Silicon Valley, Bruner explained. What makes Controligarchs different from oligarchs is that they really do want to control every aspect of our lives. “These people have like a god complex but on steroids,” Bruner said.

Budget group says the actual federal debt is $158.6 trillion

USA - As Americans file their taxes at the last minute this April 15, the federal debt – and Americans’ federal debt burden – continues to grow. While the federal government reports a national debt nearing $37 trillion, one budget watchdog says the figure is actually much higher: $158.6 trillion, amounting to $974,000 for each federal taxpayer. Truth in Accounting, a nonprofit budget accountability group that emphasizes a different approach to government accounting, released those figures, arguing that they more accurately represent the fiscal situation of the federal government.

Here’s why the AfD is destined for the German government

GERMANY - If you happen to be the single most popular and perfectly legal political party in Germany, get ready to never be allowed to actually participate in governing. Because Germany is also a country in which that single most popular party – the Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, commonly known simply as AfD) – is locked out of building governing coalitions. By definition. That system is called a “firewall” – against that nasty most popular party that makes life so difficult for all those other, no longer popular parties. It has absolutely no basis in the constitution or in law.

‘Overwhelmed’ Germany must take in far fewer asylum seekers, says Merz

GERMANY - Germany must accept fewer than 100,000 asylum seekers a year because its public services are “overwhelmed” by immigrants, the incoming chancellor has said. Friedrich Merz, due to be sworn in as leader next month, said German schools, hospitals and towns had been unable to deal with a huge increase in refugees caused by wars in Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan. Speaking on Caren Miosga, a German talk show, the head of the centre-Right Christian Democrats (CDU) said: “Our position is that these figures need to significantly come down."

Medvedev brands incoming German chancellor a ‘Nazi’

RUSSIA - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has branded incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz a Nazi after he allegedly suggested that Kiev should destroy the Crimean Bridge. In an interview with state broadcaster ARD, Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and the likely future leader of Germany, stated that Berlin could supply long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, but only if it is done in coordination with other EU nations. Kiev should in the future use Western-supplied missiles to go on the offensive and destroy, for example, “the most important land connection between Russia and Crimea,” Merz said.

Top Russian diplomat explains why Moscow trusts Trump

RUSSIA - The US president’s “common-sense” approach is a positive departure from the Biden years, Sergey Lavrov has said. Moscow is open to continuing negotiations with the US because it sees a clear difference between President Donald Trump and his predecessor, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. The US and EU “organized and funded the anti-constitutional coup” in Kiev in 2014, which triggered the confrontation with Russia, the foreign minister said. “Trump has repeatedly said that the colossal mistake which led to the current events in Ukraine was the Biden administration’s decision to drag Ukraine into NATO,” Lavrov added.

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
