Hey Gang! New track is up.  This one was fun to do.  All the drum sounds at :48 were gathered running around my work’s basement garage with a ping pong ball, metal pipe Levitra Online, and a field recorder.  Only 1 person came down and gave me angry looks while I was recording!  You can […]

Updated at 8:47 a.m. ET The coronavirus pandemic has pushed unemployment to its highest level since the Great Depression, but the pace of layoffs has been easing. And there are now some signs that the job market could slowly start to recover. The Labor Department says another 1.87 million people filed claims for unemployment insurance last week. That's down 249,000 from the previous week. While still very high by historical standards, the number has been declining steadily from a peak of 6.8 million the week ending March 28. In the past 11 weeks, 42.6 million new claims have been filed. Continued claims for unemployment went up 649,000, to 21.5 million, in the week ending May 23, the latest week for which data was available, after dropping the prior week. While some workers continue to get pink slips, others have started going back to work. The payroll processor ADP reported Wednesday that private-sector employers cut just under 2.8 million jobs between April and May. That's a much

After the coronavirus lockdowns forced it to shut down its 345 U.S. theaters, Texas-based Cinemark in April decided to do what a lot of companies have done: borrow money by selling bonds. The sale was made easier by the fact that the Federal Reserve was lending out trillions of dollars to businesses and governments, providing a much-needed boost to the corporate debt market in an effort to prop up the economy. Even as it was borrowing money, Cinemark also announced a number of steps "to endure a prolonged period of no revenue." They included laying off 17,500 workers with no guarantee when they'll be rehired. During the current crisis, the Fed, which began a two-day meeting on Tuesday, has pulled out all the stops to keep the economy afloat, lowering interest rates to zero and starting a series of unprecedented and historic new lending facilities practically overnight. "It has taken what were already extraordinary, exceptional, unusual, unconventional tools and has expanded them even

Shanna LaFountain has been a nursing assistant in New England for 20 years. About two months ago, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, she stopped working. "It was an extremely hard decision," she said. LaFountain has three children and made the decision once their schools closed and their learning went online. "My son was not answering teachers, not doing assignments," she said. "I had to be home with my children." Instead of working, she gets state unemployment benefits and receives another $600 each week from the federal government. She is making more money now than when she works. LaFountain is not alone. As part of the CARES Act, the federal government added an extra $600 per week to individuals' unemployment checks. Such benefits may be available not only to those who were let go but also to those who quit their jobs due to the virus. While a Federal Reserve report said the expanded benefits provide a critical lifeline to many individuals, there is concern that the

Many people with underlying medical conditions are worried about what's going to happen at the end of the month. It's not currently safe for many of them to go back to work. The COVID-19 death rate is 12 times higher for people with underlying conditions. But an extra $600 a week in federal unemployment benefits, which has been enabling them to pay their rent and other bills, will stop coming at the end of July. "We don't have a whole lot of options that don't involve risking our lives," Lauren Van Netta says. "We need help. We really do." Van Netta lost her job at a perfume store in New Orleans during the outbreak. She says she's had serious bacterial infections that have damaged her lungs and compromised her immune system. And she has asthma. So even if she could find another job in retail, she says her doctors have told her it would be risky. She says even wearing a mask and trying to keep social distancing in a workplace, "it's like the fear of, you know, I could make a mistake.

Reg Smythe's Andy Capp was the greatest British newspaper strip of the 20th Century, but few people realise how much of his own troubled childhood Smythe poured into Andy and Flo's lives. Andy was essentially a portrait of Smythe's wastrel father, Flo a version of his formidable mother, and their neighbourhood a portrait of the pre-war Hartlepool where Smythe grew up. My new book traces Smythe's own biography, explores its parallels in Andy's world, and tackles the strip's early wife-beating jokes. There's also a look at how the balance of power has shifted between Andy and Flo down the years and my own analysis of just what made Smythe such an accomplished and stylish cartoonist.

Down The Tubes has already reviewed the book, calling it "a terrific re-examination of Andy Capp, smashing myths about the strip". Paul Gravett, the UK's leading comics critic, describes it as "a rich, revelatory study". MeFites discussed an earlier version of the book's Andy Capp material here.

This isn't it. This isn't it. There's so much more that we're not seeing. This isn't the happiest happy we will experience. God has things that are worth it, unparalleled, unimagined. This, this isn't it. Please join the pastors as they speak on the Second Coming, about the role of the Holy Spirit in Heaven, about glorified bodies in Heaven, about pets in Heaven, and about God fulfilling His promises. Don't want this temporary. Yearn for something more, for forever with God in the midst of absolute love and beauty and perfection, and peace. Tune in now ! 1.- How is a Christian supposed to deal with certain political regulations that are completely against the Bible ? 2.- Who is God referring to in the previous verse ? (2 Thessalonians 2 verses 10 and 11) If God is good, why would He send His people a strong delusion so that they would believe a lie ? 3.- In Daniel 9:26, why does The NKJV have different wording than other translations ? 4.- Who are the sons of God in Job 1 verse 6, and when did Satan stop having access to them ? 5.- How can every eye see Jesus return if the earth is round ? 6.- What is the role of the Holy Spirit in Heaven ? 7.- Hebrews 4 verse 5 says, “He shall not enter into my rest.” Is that referring to the Sabbath ? 8.- If Jesus is all knowing, why did He say that no one knows the day or the hour of His return ? 9.- Why didn’t God forgive Achan after he confessed ? 10.- How would one define being unequally yoked in a marriage, in the case of separation ? 11.- Regarding the Trinity, could the Holy Spirit be considered the omnipresence of God ? 12.- Will you please explain Proverbs 23 verses 20 and 21 ? 13.- Why did God refer to Isaac as Abraham’s only son when he also had Ishmael ? 14.- Will our pets be in Heaven ? 15.- Will Jesus forgive Pontius Pilate ? 16.- Where was Daniel when Hananiah, Mischael and Azariah were standing before the golden statue ? 17.- What is the connection between the Sanctuary and salvation ? 18.- In the Lord’s Prayer, what does, “Lead us not into temptation,” mean ? 19.- What were the laws before the Ten Commandments were given ? After all, isn’t sin the transgression of the law ? 20.- Does the Bible say that Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Life before they sinned, and if so why didn’t they become immortal ? 21.- What would have happened if Judas Iscariot repented of his sin ? After all the Bible predicted that he was to betray Christ.

The attempt on Donald Trump's life shook the whole world ! How should Christians respond, and does it have any prophetic significance ? Pastor Doug Batchelor addresses this in this special edition of Bible Answers Live. Tune in now ! 1.- Does the attempted assassination of Trump fulfill Revelation 13:6 where it says, “The beast receives a deadly wound, but its deadly wound is healed” ? 2.- What about Christian Nationalism and the rise of that in the U.S. today ? Could that somehow be the fulfillment of prophecy, and is that connected to Project 2025 ? 3.- As a Bible-believing Christian, what is our responsibility with reference to the government ? How involved should we get in politics ? What is our responsibility when it comes to voting ?

Former President Donald J. Trump’s endorsement has helped propel some candidates to victory, but he’s also had some notable defeats.

Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide, testified that the former president directed his chief of staff to reach out to Michael Flynn and Roger Stone, who had ties to the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.

Explosive testimony by Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, has raised questions about President Donald J. Trump’s actions on the day of the Capitol riot.

In a forceful speech, the congresswoman also denounced Republican leaders who had “made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.”

Mr. Cipollone, who repeatedly fought extreme plans to overturn the election, had resisted publicly testifying to the panel.

Thomas Windom, a little-known federal prosecutor, is overseeing key elements of the Justice Department’s intensifying investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

The former White House aide’s revelations about Jan. 6 chipped away at any potential defense that Donald J. Trump was merely expressing well-founded views about election fraud.

To teach His people the way of salvation, God instructed them to build a sanctuary. This temple had three main areas: a courtyard, a holy place, and a most holy place. What the priests did in each compartment illustrates what our High Priest is doing today to eradicate sin from our lives.
