Lumber Prices Drop Below $1,000 After Skyrocketing to ‘Nosebleed’ Highs in May: Epoch Times

As sawmills have ramped up output and buyers put off purchases, both spot lumber prices and futures contracts have seen a sharp drop since May’s peak of nearly $1,700 per thousand board feet, the unit of measurement for lumber in the United States. …BMO analyst Mark Wilde predicts that “‘nosebleed’ prices won’t last,” according to a note via Bloomberg. He added, however, that lumber costs will remain “above-trend” for the next 1 to 2 years due to “strong demand, a limited supply response, and a rising cost curve.” …“Higher costs and declining availability for softwood lumber and other building materials pushed down builder sentiment in June,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke. “These higher costs have moved some new homes beyond the budget of prospective buyers, which has slowed the strong pace of home building. Policymakers need to focus on supply-chain issues in order to allow the economic recovery to continue.”

California Appeals Ruling Striking Down Assault Weapons Ban: Epoch Times

California officials on Thursday said the state has appealed a federal judge’s decision to strike down its three-decade-old ban on assault-style weapons, saying the law is needed to prevent gun deaths. The appeal challenges last week’s ruling from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego that the law illegally infringes upon the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, which guarantees the right of citizens to bear arms. …Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, both Democrats, told a news conference outside a San Francisco hospital they were confident the decision was flawed and would eventually be overturned.

Texas, Arizona Governors Ask All Other States to Send Police to US-Mexico Border: Epoch Times

Some 1,000 Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, hundreds of Texas National Guard soldiers, Arizona Department of Public Safety and law enforcement officers, and hundreds of Arizona National Guard soldiers have been deployed to the border, according to the letter. At the same time, Abbott and Ducey took aim at President Joe Biden’s administration and accused him of fostering policies that encourage illegal immigrants to come to the border, saying they were forced to declare a disaster and an emergency in their respective states. Abbott, meanwhile, announced Thursday that Texas will conduct a “comprehensive border security plan to crack down on illegal border crossings” in the state, which would potentially include the construction of a state-funded border wall.

This Is New York, Newt Gingrich

The troubles currently facing New York City and its residents are boundless. Skyrocketing crime, random assaults, stabbings, and shootings have hurt the already struggling restaurant and tourism industries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. There is also an obvious decline in the quality of life from higher taxes, increased homelessness, as well as the difficult situations faced by low-income families forced into low-quality public schools. These economic, social, and safety issues facing the city have come to light in a new documentary titled “This Is New York” by director and filmmaker Matthew Taylor, a guest on my Newt’s World podcast last week.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials stated there are “no plans” to send illegal immigrants to northern states such as North Dakota and Montana, although Montana’s attorney general expressed concern that it might eventually happen. …“Putting illegal immigrants in North Dakota would endanger our communities and do nothing to fix the border crisis @POTUS caused but still won’t acknowledge,” he wrote last week. “@DHSgov told me over the weekend this won’t happen, and I plan to hold the administration to that.”

People Leaving Blue States Advise Those Who Remain, ‘Start Making Better Decisions on Who You Vote For’ – Epoch Times

Florida was the No. 1 relocation destination for Americans in 2020, according to Move.org. New York and California took first and second place in the contest for which states had the most people choosing to leave. …A specific motivator in Pearson’s decision to choose Florida was his “deep respect” for Gov. Ron DeSantis because of his moves to ban Critical Race Theory, to enact an anti-riot bill, and his unapologetic position of “backing the blue.” Pearson also admires the widely criticized decision by DeSantis to lift all COVID restrictions, which he believes are killing California.

John MacArthur on C.R.T. and Social Justice Movement

This post contains an 11 minute interview wherein Dr. John MacArthur explains how it is that social justice, CRT, CT are antithetical to evangelicalism. In the process, you will be exposed to information that should help you understand these Marxist ideologies so that you may discern whether you pastor is subscribing to them. Since Marxism (socialism / communism) hates God, you cannot subscribe to both Marxism and Christianity; if you are trying to do so, that kind of syncretism could damn your soul. Those fork-tongued pastors will pay a high price for their duplicity, or their naivete; don’t continue to follow such a pastor. I identified 3 such pastors at the end of the post and linked one’s sermon wherein his sheep’s clothing might be seen.
