TRUTH:
Older Americans are finally getting the truth:
For a long time, the people most affected have been the last to know.
That's changing.
RFK Jr. has put out a warning that's been making its way through communities of Americans born before January 1st, 1965, and the response has been overwhelming because it finally says what so many have suspected but couldn't confirm.
Millions of seniors are already ahead of this.
The ones who aren't are still waiting on a system that RFK Jr. says has been working against them.
Don't wait.
To your future,

The Difference between Grace and Mercy
There are moments in life when you look back and realize that if God had given you exactly what you deserved, your story would have ended very differently.
And yet, here you are.
Still standing.
Still breathing.
Still loved.
Still chosen.
That is the beautiful difference between mercy and grace.
Mercy is when God does not give us the punishment we deserve.
Grace is when God gives us the blessing we could never earn.
Mercy said, “You can go free.”
Grace said, “Come sit at My table.”
Mercy closed the courtroom case.
Grace adopted you into the family.
Mercy stopped the storm.
Grace taught you how to walk on water.
Mercy erased the debt.
Grace filled your account with abundance.
Friend, you may have made mistakes you regret. You may carry memories that still sting. You may wonder whether God is disappointed in you.
But the cross answers every question.
§ At the cross, God’s mercy withheld judgment.
§ At the cross, God’s grace poured out favor.
§ At the cross, Jesus took your place so you could take His.
That means:
§ Your failures do not define you.
§ Your shame does not own you.
§ Your past does not disqualify you.
§ Your weakness does not scare God.
You are living proof that mercy covered you and grace carried you.
§ When you should have fallen apart, mercy held you together.
§ When you had nothing left to offer, grace supplied everything you needed.
§ When you thought the story was over, God turned the page.
And perhaps the most powerful truth of all is this:
§ God does not love you because you performed well.
§ He loves you because you are His.
Just as a mother loves her child before the child accomplishes anything, your Heavenly Father loved you before you got it right.
§ Before your first prayer.
§ Before your first breakthrough.
§ Before your first act of obedience.
You were already loved.
§ Already chosen.
§ Already pursued.
§ Already covered.
So today, stop striving to earn what has already been given.
Rest in His mercy.
Walk in His grace.
And remember:
Mercy rescued you from what you deserved.
Grace brought you into what Jesus deserved.
That is not just theology. That is your testimony.
Thank you,
Donna Warren

Rescued 81-Year-Old Stranded in Car by Snowstorms in CA Mountains Survives on Croissants, Snow
It had already been four days since anyone had heard from Joe Jouret’s 81-year-old brother. His departure down a mountain pass in California was followed by a series of winter storms in the area, and a search and rescue operation began.
After almost a week, an H80 search helicopter spotted what looked like a “rock” half-buried in snow. Alive in his Ford Focus, hand out of his window, Jouret’s brother was waving.
The 81-year-old had been heading home from Big Pine, California, northbound to Gardnerville, Nevada, but had taken an alternate route due to storm closures on Highway 395. Instead, he opted for Highway 168 leading into Death Valley National Park.
Last having been heard from on Friday, Feb. 24, after said series of winter storms in the days following, Inyo County Search and Rescue (InyoSAR) received a callout for a missing person on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

They responded immediately. But a winter storm caused the team to delay until Wednesday, March 1, due to safety concerns, according to Inyo County Sheriff’s Office.
Two teams of four search and rescue members, with support from Caltrans District 9, were deployed on Thursday and they began making their way into Deep Springs Valley, focusing their search around Gilbert Pass.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) deployed an H80 helicopter to provide additional assistance; it conducted two aerial searches around the Gilbert Pass.
At noon the same day, CHP forensics reported an identified cellular ping from approximately 4 p.m. on Friday, which belonged to the individual in question.
The searchers managed to triangulate the signal to an area along Death Valley Road, “a rough road running south of the 168 and leading into Death Valley National Park,” the sheriff’s office said, which had been inundated with snow caused by the recent storms.

The CHP H80 crew immediately returned to Bishop Airport to refuel before proceeding to Death Valley Road. Within a short time, the pilot spotted an object embedded in the deep snow.
“[The pilot] was about out of gas,” Jouret told news outlet Patch. “But he looked down and he saw what looked like a rock as he looked down. He had another man with him in the helicopter … and as they looked down there, it was [my brother’s] car. He was almost buried in snow, but not quite. He took his hand out of the window and waved it.”
They prepared for an extraction but, unable to land due to the deep snow, the pilot hovered the H80 about three feet over Jouret’s brother’s Ford Focus. One of the crewmembers harnessed up, descended, grabbed the stranded traveler, and pulled him from the vehicle.

Once aboard, Jouret’s brother was flown to Bishop Airport, where he received medical care.
“He was smiling all the way back to the airport,” Jouret said on Friday. “He was happy to get out of that situation.”
He reportedly managed to survive the week by subsisting on croissants and snow. Jouret describes his brother as having been active his whole life and being “still pretty spry.” He was released hours later, Patch reported.
“I just really believe it was a miracle,” Jouret said.
Afterward, Inyo County Sheriff’s Department posted on Facebook, updating that the missing person had been found and recovered and thanking everyone, including volunteers and the community, who helped make the operation a success.
Offering advice to would-be travelers, they said, “InyoSAR would like to remind everyone to always be prepared for unexpected events and have a safety plan in place when traveling through the mountains.”

Why Do We Call Them Jumbo Eggs?
Buying a carton of jumbo eggs instead of extra-large doesn’t just change the price — it also can affect the way your recipe turns out. What do these descriptive words mean for your scramble?
“Large,” “extra-large,” “jumbo” — these aren’t just marketing claims on your egg carton. They’re official classifications, and swapping one for another can throw off a recipe. So what actually makes a jumbo egg jumbo?
by Jennifer A. Freeman
If a recipe calls for large eggs, that’s not a guesstimate — it refers to a specific size designation of egg. Eggs are classified in a range of sizes, from “peewee” to “jumbo.” These size variations have to do with the chicken laying the egg. In general, the older the chicken, the larger the egg.
Chickens can lay eggs from about 18 weeks old, albeit very infrequently. Peewee eggs come from extremely young chickens, whereas jumbo eggs (weighing 2.5 ounces or more) come from fully mature, healthy chickens in their prime.
Other factors that can impact the size of an egg are the weight of the chicken, its diet, and the conditions the chicken lives in. For example, hens exposed to more light before 19 weeks of age will start laying eggs earlier, meaning their eggs will be smaller. Large eggs (about 2 ounces per egg) are what most recipes call for, and large and extra-large eggs (2.25 ounces) are stocked most commonly at grocery stores.
Following size guidelines is important in baking because the size of the egg corresponds to an amount of liquid. A large egg contains about 3.25 tablespoons of liquid, and an extra-large egg is about 4 tablespoons of liquid, so a substitution of four extra-large eggs for four large eggs can drastically change a recipe.

TRUMP:
Watch Live 'Rededicate 250' with Franklin Graham, Trump, More
By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 17 May 2026 05:24 AM EDT
Tens of thousands of Americans are expected to gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Sunday for “Rededicate 250,” a sweeping daylong celebration of prayer, worship, and patriotism commemorating America’s 250th anniversary and calling the nation back to faith and unity.
The event, which will be carried live on Newsmax, runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT and will feature President Donald Trump, evangelist Franklin Graham, Cissie Graham Lynch, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and dozens of prominent faith leaders, public officials, musicians and cultural figures.
Organizers say the gathering is designed to honor God’s providence throughout American history while encouraging a spiritual renewal ahead of the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration on July 4.
“This is more than an event — it is a once-in-a-lifetime national moment,” organizers said in promotional materials, describing the gathering as a “National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving.”
Franklin Graham urged Americans from every background to participate.
“I hope that everyone will come out and join with Americans from across the country for this historic event to rededicate our lives and our nation back to God,” Graham said.
The event will focus on three central themes organizers call the “pillars” of Rededicate 250:
• “The Miracles That Made Us” — reflecting on God’s providence throughout 250 years of American history and the faith that inspired the nation’s founders.
• “The Miracles Still in Our Midst” — featuring testimonies of healing, courage, and spiritual renewal.
• “A New Birth of Faith and Freedom” — a collective prayer asking for God’s blessing, guidance and grace for the next 250 years.
Throughout the day, attendees will hear stories honoring defining moments in American history, including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement and the resilience displayed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Cissie Graham Lynch said the gathering comes at a pivotal moment for the nation.
“Every generation must choose what it will stand for,” Lynch said. “We have fallen so far from the Christian values and morals that this country was founded on, but we have an opportunity before us to consider once again what kind of a nation we will be.”
“My prayer is that we will be the generation that will return to the God who made America strong and free,” she added. “My prayer is that we will grab hold of this moment and boldly use our God-given rights to live out our faith in Jesus Christ and carry the Gospel to the next generation.”
President Trump, who is scheduled to address the gathering, praised the effort as a continuation of the faith tradition that shaped the nation’s founding.
“We rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and in the love and grace of Almighty God,” Trump said in a statement promoting the event.
“And just as our Founders came together in prayer before declaring independence, thousands of Americans will gather on Sunday, May 17, on the National Mall to rededicate the United States as One Nation Under God.”
Among the prominent speakers and participants scheduled to appear are:
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Bishop Robert Barron, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Pastor Jack Graham, Pastor Robert Jeffress, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, Dr. Ben Carson, author Eric Metaxas, and actor Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus in the hit television series “The Chosen.”
Music and worship will also play a central role in the event, with Grammy-winning Christian artist Chris Tomlin leading worship alongside Blessing Offor, Aodhan King, Laura Osnes, and choirs from Liberty University, Grand Canyon University and Hillsdale College, in addition to several U.S. military bands.
Organizers say the event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Continental Congress’ 1776 “Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer,” when early American leaders called on citizens to seek divine guidance during the Revolutionary War.
For those unable to attend in person, Newsmax will televise key speakers and performances.
WARNING:
Top Trump Advisor Issues Urgent Warning to Americans...
While you’ve been distracted watching the Iran war unfold…
A silent financial attack has already begun.
It didn’t come from missiles or tanks.
It came from meetings… agreements… and alliances formed 6,000 miles away.
Led by Vladimir Putin and backed by China and dozens of other nations…
They are working together to do something unthinkable:
For over 80 years, the dollar has been the backbone of America’s power.
It’s what protects your savings.
Your retirement, Your way of life.
But now?
Over 40 countries are lining up to abandon it.
They’re building a new system… a new currency…
What I call the “anti-dollar.”
And if they succeed…
The consequences could be devastating:
· Retirement accounts will shrink.
· The value of your savings will collapse.
Some experts are already warning this could be worse than 2008.
Even President Donald Trump said losing the dollar’s status would be like “losing a world war.”
The clock has been set. And it will affect the lives of everyone — yours, mine, and our families — for decades to come.
So, I’m getting the word out to any American patriot who will listen.
As a former investment banker at Morgan Stanley — and adviser to political heavyweights including Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as well as a regular Newsmax contributor — I believe that millions of Americans will see their purchasing power collapse in the coming months if they don’t prepare now.
Time is of the essence.

At Least 4 People Killed in One of the Largest Ukrainian Drone Strikes on Russia
Sunday, 17 May 2026 05:54 AM EDT
At least four people, including three near Moscow, died in one of the largest Ukrainian overnight attacks against Russia since the start of the war, according to Russian local authorities.
A woman was killed after a drone hit her home in Khimki, a city just northwest of Moscow, and two men died in the village of Pogorelki 10 km (6 miles) north of the capital, according to local Gov. Andrei Vorobyev. In social media updates, Vorobyev said Ukrainian drones had also damaged unspecified “infrastructure” and several high-rises. In Moscow itself, at least 12 people were wounded in the nighttime strike, mostly near the entrance to the city’s oil refinery, mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported. Sobyanin reported the “technology” of the refinery has not been damaged.
Russian defenses shot down 81 drones headed for Moscow overnight, state agency Tass reported, citing Sobyanin, marking one of the largest attacks on the Russian capital since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.
One man was also killed as a drone struck a lorry in the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, according to local authorities. Russian air defenses destroyed a total of 556 drones over Russia, the country’s defense ministry said.
Russia’s largest airport — Moscow’s Sheremetyevo — said drone debris had fallen on its premises without causing damage.
Russia attacked Ukraine with 287 drones overnight on Sunday, 279 of which were shot down or jammed, the Ukrainian air force reported.
According to Ukraine's estate emergency service, the strikes injured 8 people in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region: three in the regional capital of Dnipro, four in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown of Kryvyi Rih, and one in the district of Synelkove.
Residential buildings were damaged in all three locations, the service said.

The Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, is in a panic. Top generals of the regime are being purged under the banner of anti-corruption. Weapons systems that were paraded around the world as “U.S. killers” have failed embarrassingly in actual combat. The twin pillars of China’s economy—real estate and manufacturing—are in free fall. New laws are being rushed through to stop Western companies from leaving. And the multi-year war plan the CCP developed over the last decade to trap America in multiple simultaneous crises—before the regime launched its own conquest—that plan was just shredded in the streets of Venezuela and the deserts of Iran.

Ranchers noticed in the 1970s and 1980s that fence wire made in China was inferior to that made in the US, as the steel was more brittle and had less stretch when tensioning the wire along a fence line between corner posts.
US made steel products became more desirable and higher priced (I prize my old forged in USA Craftsman tools.) due to the scarcity after China bought most of the US supply of coking coal necessary in the manufacture of steel.Remember the problems that China had when hosting the Olympic Games?Smog problems? Building integrity in the Olympic Village? The massive “Bird Nest” steel structure?
QC has long been a problem, and the reason many US companies brought manufacturing back home, where engineers are closer to the factory floor, to solve design problems as they occur.Engineers that haven’t been involved in the manufacturing of products, have developed their definition: “Engineers can design things that can never be built.”
I hope Kohler toilets are being built in the USA since one of their employees sent from Wisconsin to China years ago, returned home to report the lack of consistency in the location of holes in the ceramic fixtures (toilets can’t be drilled to make holes match up).QC can be a problem without supervision….

Definitely cause to think about the chain of events and it becomes clearer why Trump said our military and weaponry is unmatched. Battles are the true testing ground and as one commentor in another article concerning the Strait of Hormuz, said “Trump made us look weak…” I beg to differ. When a country realizes they too tested their technology and saw the end result.
One thing for certain a meeting with China was a reality check for Xi when it came to Taiwan being armed by the US and remaining a big part of the global economy. God has truly blessed us just wish more of our country read Epoch Times, while not perfect it gives due diligence and Josh seems like a pretty good dude with much insight.

3 Million March for the Crown & Cross!
If trans activists carry signs that say "death to TERFs" or Muslims gather in massive crowds to shout "globalize the intifada," the UK government doesn't put out a statement.
But an estimated 3 million native Brits harnessing their inner Aragorns to save the West? 👇
Let's look at what these dangerous protesters are doing, SHALL WE??
I was in the [Royal Air Force] for 12 years. I served my country ... I was born here and my parents came over in the '60s and they worked hard ... I was born in Whitechapel and I wouldn't recognize it now at all.
... At the end of the day, this is a Christian country, and this country, they've got no where else to go. And if all these people come in and take over the culture, it's not going to be Britain anymore. It's not going to be Great Britain anymore. And we can't have that. And it's not a racist thing. I'm not a racist. You can't call me a racist. But at the end of the day, we have to fight. It's a spiritual battle.
We have to come back to Christ. Christ IS King. And we must come back to Christ, because at the end of the day, we are a Christian nation.
Crosses, bagpipes, Union Jacks, assimilated immigrants proclaiming the Christian heritage of Britain, and Glenn-freaking-Beck???
HAS THERE EVER BEEN ANYTHING SO DANGEROUS?!

Minister of Housing loses election to who?!
Such irony!
More open borders politicians ought to be taking a lesson from the fate of Nate Erskine-Smith. Until last year, Erskine-Smith had served as the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities in the radical leftist Canadian government. That meant lots of welfare and mass migration.
Now he just lost an election to Ahsanul Hafiz: a Bangladeshi pizzeria owner.
Really, Erskine-Smith had defeated himself and had no shot against such ‘diverse’ competition.
After a full day of ranked ballot voting to select the riding’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming provincial byelection, Hafiz emerged victorious with 718 votes, followed by Beaches-East York Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith with 699 votes by the third ballot of the ranked count. Other candidates seeking nomination were Qadira Jackson and Mahmuda Nasrin.
He lost by only 19 votes. But the bloc vote is tough to beat.
During his opening speech, Hafiz said it was important for voters to elect a leader who understands the hardships of Scarborough Southwest residents, noting that certain opportunities “do not exist” to the same extent for immigrants.
Uh-huh.
Erskine-Smith is blaming voter fraud which is no doubt true.
Following the results of today’s nomination race, Erskine Smith told reporters in a scrum in the parking lot that he needs to “debrief” with his team before speaking out about the outcome, suggesting the results may have been inaccurate.
“At one table, it was 50 per cent of the people that had ID issues, saying they lost driver’s licenses and that they lived in the area, so I don’t know,” Erskine-Smith said. “It’s unfair for me to specifically speculate.”
Unfair indeed. If Erskine-Smith had been serious about checking IDs at the border, he wouldn’t have been replaced by the people who invaded Canada. By the time they’re inside and at the voting booth, it’s much too late.
Here’s old ES talking about the “economics of Canadian immigration” to a guest who argued for, “strong but smartly managed immigration to ensure Canada’s economy remains competitive and resilient in the long-term”.
Now he just got a lesson in the political economics of mass migration. And Canadians won’t be competitive or resilient. Just replaced.
