The U.S. Space Force Just Launched Its First Satellite (VIDEO) The military’s newest branch launched its first satellite this week. This is the beginning of its first mission. CNET reports: Trump’s US Space Force successfully launches its first national security mission A massive United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket took the US Space Force into space on Thursday. The rocket was decked out in the official Space Force logo as it escorted an Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite into orbit. Atlas took off from a launchpad at Cape Canaveral in Florida. ULA’s live launch webcast kicked off at 11:37 a.m. PT, but the flight took place around 1:20 p.m. PT after a technical issue foiled the first countdown. The second attempt went off smoothly. The Atlas V booster separated cleanly from the Centaur upper stage that will take the satellite on the final leg of its journey into orbit. “Successful staging and ignition of the Centaur upper stage is confirmed!” ULA tweeted. Centaur is scheduled to release the satellite almost six hours after launch. Gen. Jay Raymond, chief of space operations, tweeted a look at the Space Force, which sat between an American flag and the ULA Atlas logo. “Despite COVID-19, we’re ready to launch,” he tweeted earlier on Thursday, describing this mission as the first national security space launch for the Space Force.

Just yesterday, Bob Dylan released a new song, 'Murder Most Foul'. It is available for all to hear on YouTube. Beware; it is seventeen minutes long. On its primary level, it is about the assassination of JFK. A moment the song interprets as the beginning of the end for American civilisation. And more-someone is quoted as saying that 'the Age of the Antichrist has just only begun'. Dylan points the finger: those behind the death of Kennedy and the destruction of his brothers (some artistic licence with Ted, although his destruction was certainly the gravest) are narrated as saying that 'we live on the street where you live'. That includes, at least, the FBI in its list of possible suspects, more broadly Dylan is referring to the Deep State. It seems to me significant when Donald Trump's enemies, many of them in the current Deep State, are going to every length (so far, and may God protect him) short of assassination to bring him down that Dylan should make his move now, not having released a new song for eight years and now doing it in a quite unconventional way. I noticed one comment on You-Tube to the effect that 'Q' had anticipated the release of Dylan's song. Anyway, it is intriguing. I received an email from Dylan's people intoducing the new song with the line from Dylan, 'stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you'. Not only does the line portray Dylan's main priorities, but it also possesses an intriguing use of the word 'observant'. Dylan is a writer capable of extracting every possible use for a word. 'Observant' obviously relates to looking out for ourselves with a keen eye, but it also might mean that we must continue observing our religion in the face of closed Churches. For me, it is another piece in the jigsaw of a theory that he might have moved very close to becoming Catholic or has even gone the whole hog. One could do worse, in these times of abundant spare time, to listen to this song.
I totally agree with you on Dylan’s use of the word “observant” to mean that we keep practicing our religion. That word is used to describe Jews who practice their faith. Otherwise, he could have just told us to keep our eyes open.
There is an extraordinary symmetry in that image and in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The odds of such an image, and in such a time and location, being a product of random chance are quite long, I'd wager
1990 until now-thirty years, the same length of time as Our Lord's 'gestation period' before His ministry on Earth. Perhaps we are now beginning to undergo His new ministry. The anonymity of the person involved in these prophecies lends greater credibility, because he or she avoids the accusations of attention-seeking or glory-hunting.
I have a feeling that the person IS Michael Brown (Spirit Daily) himself....and I'm not the only one!!
If you ever read his story, you'll find where he had been assigned to do a story on a "haunted house". At the time he was NOT practicing his faith in any way, shape, or form. However, the night after visiting the house, he had a dream/vision where he was being wheeled down his entryway hall to a demon whose face was springing from his door. Three times he had this experience, waking up after every time then going back to sleep, and all three times an angelic presence stopped him from being delivered to the demon. The dream/vision affected him so much that he started returning to the practice of his faith, that very morning.
Wouldn't Trump be the opposite of Dylan's ideal President? From the outside looking in, Trump isn't the person I would have chosen as leader of the so-called free world and I'm still wary of his son-in-law. I'd probably be more critical of him if the biased media did a better job at concealing their hatred of him and if his likely replacements weren't so bad they give me nightmares. Are you sure that Dylan hasn't joined the ranks of people who claim that Trump is a tyrant undermining US democracy, chipping away at their freedom?
Dylan in reality is very different from the 'spirit of Dylan' that has always been promulgated by the liberal media, who would like it thought that he was on their side. The realities are that Dylan completely divorced himself from the Civil Rights Movement as far back as December 1963, as the only common ground he had with them was equality of black and white; he mocked liberalism and the universal notion of 'equality' in song the year after; disapproved of draft-dodging; supported the Vietnam War; became a fundamentalist Christian in 1979, not a liberal, 'soft' version and appears to have maintained that stance while seeming theologically to have moved closer to either Catholicism or Orthodoxy. As for most recent times, he says little directly in political terms unlike many celebrities. Brought up in a Jewish environment that would have voted Democrat as naturally as any Irish-American household of the time, he has always expressed the kind of ideals that would have been typified by the likes of Rooosevelt, Truman or, despite his personal behaviour, JFK. I would probably have voted for these people myself. However, America and most radically the Democrats have changed utterly. Dylan has often expressed this in song, lamenting the moral decline of America and the world. He has released an album entitled 'World Gone Wrong'. He has publicly condemned abortion and written against it in song. He expressed approval that a black man could finally become a candidate for president in 2008. When Obama was elected, that night he was typically playing a concert. One of his backing band was wearing an Obama badge. Dylan rarely says anything to the audience, but pointed out that night that his band member opined that the US was now entering an 'age of light'. Then he cackled-the irony was obvious. Four years later, he was ambushed in an interview by Rolling Stone (I think it was about his new album of the time) to endorse Obama for re-election. It is transcripted in Rolling Stone-the journalist went to extraordinary lengths to push him, but Dylan pointedly and very stubbornly refused. Additionally, in that album Dylan seems to invoke the birther controversy in lines that can be plausibly read in three different ways. While practically every celebrity in America seems to have criticised Trump, Dylan has not said a word one way or another (and you can be sure we'd know it if he did). In song and interview, it is overwhelmingly obvious that he is on the Christian side of the culture wars, but the liberal media have always dishonestly portrayed him as the opposite. His 'protest' period only lasted until 1963 and only consisted of supporting black equality in law. Yet, this is the only persona displayed by the liberal media. If you listen closely to the song, it is obvious that the 'Deep State' is the villain of the piece, while much of the song represents a lament for a long-gone, older, better America. I think he's being very topical, in his unique way.
Ha! You got me going. I've been obsessed with Dylan and his music for nearly half a century. I know more than many about him. So, it gets me going when he is misrepresented. It was typified by the time he appeared before Pope John Paul II in 1997, at one of these huge 'youth' Masses. Apparently, there had been several prior instances of these events in which far lesser artists had made rebellious statements advocating contraception and so forth. Dylan's appearance was utterly appropriate and humbly respectful. However, then Cardinal Ratzinger had objected at the time to Dylan's appearance because his knowledge extended to that of the man as portrayed in the media. He rightly feared another disrespectful circus. Fortunately, Pope St John Paul II had a more accurate view of Dylan. Very few modern artists share our world-view. Dylan is one, Leonard Cohen, God bless him, was another. To me, the latter's final album was a meditation on whether he should finally move from his (devout) Judaism to becoming a Catholic. Cohen's song 'The Future' is a wonderful anthem for we curmudgeons who think the world is literally 'going to Hell'.
As far as I can tell from Dylan's own words he basically sold himself for fame and fortune. He is on line in an interview saying he made "the deal" and has to keep it. The interviewer asked who he made the deal with and Dylan said "you know. The Dealmaker." Sounds ominous to me. I agree that Trump's unhinged enemies in the media have driven me over to his camp faster than I would have done--but like you I have a deep unease. I pray to walk in the truth and not be deluded by any public figure. Sadly here in the US the Democrats have become like demoncrats. To have them in power again is unthinkable.
Tornado: Coronavirus Prevents Catastrophe At Mall Arkansas tornado rips through mall, empty because of coronavirus: 'Blessing in disguise' A fierce tornado tearing through Arkansas on Saturday left six people injured and caused major damage to a local shopping mall and airport. Extensive damage occurred at the Mall at Turtle Creek in Jonesboro, although most stores were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. A Best Buy store was rendered nearly unrecognizable. “At 5 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon that place would've been packed, and at this point there was hardly anyone in there,” Jonesboro E-911 Director Jeff Presley said. “It’s a blessing in disguise.” And this use to be a Best Buy store apart of the Turtle Creek Mall here in Jonesboro. Can’t even tell what it is now as if sits in ruins. Those hurt in the college city of roughly 75,000 people -- about 130 miles northeast of Little Rock -- were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, Presley said. The National Weather Service issued tornado warning around 4:47 p.m. local time and the twister touched down just after 5 p.m., per the Washington Post. Photos of a destroyed hangar and a graveyard of planes were also captured at the Jonesboro Municipal Airport. The Jonesboro airport. #arwx One resident recorded video from inside his phone shop of the massive tornado tossing debris around like it was nothing. A livestream by KAIT-TV in Jonesboro showed extensive damage to some of the city's businesses. Arkansas State University said on Twitter that its campus wasn't damaged.

Yuck! The somewhat invisible becomes more visible..... Rats swarm New Orleans' streets as coronavirus precautions leave them empty Precautions put in place to slow the rise of coronavirus cases in New Orleans has inadvertently led to a rat problem for the Louisiana city. With restaurants closed save for take-out service, far less food waste is being discarded in the city's alleyways, driving the local rodent population out into the open to search for scraps. New Orleans' famous Mardi Gras celebration brought thousands of tourists to the city, and medical experts believe it might be a big factor in the city's COVID-19 outbreak. Now with Bourbon Street's famous bars all closed and people social distancing, videos show dozens of rats scurrying through the empty streets. "I turn the corner, there's about 30 rats at the corner, feasting on something in the middle of the street," one local restauranteur told CBS News' Omar Villafranca. He said he had "never" seen anything like it before. To control the population, city crews started putting bait in the gutters and placing rat traps throughout the French Quarter neighborhood. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the rats were going "crazy." Claudia Regal, head of the local pest control board, expressed concern about the possible infections the rat infestation could spread to the local homeless population. "There are pathogens in these rodents. Fortunately, we don't see many of the health outcomes. We don't have very many disease cases that are actually related to rodents. But the potential is there," she said during a press conference. She called it a "difficult time to be a rat" due to the limited availability of food scraps. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-new-orleans-rats-precautions-streets-empty/
