The nuclear deal negotiated with Iran is a “forever agreement” that will last well beyond the next decade, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Monday from the White House briefing room.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared a drought emergency on Monday in three southern and central Oregon counties, expanding upon earlier drought declarations the Democrat made in March, as the state faces record low snowpack levels.
Continuing drought has caused “natural and economic disaster conditions” in Oregon’s Crook, Harney and Klamath counties, heightening wildfire risk, and threatening wildlife and agriculture, Brown said in her declaration. MORE
Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on Monday blamed environmentalists for what she called a “man-made” drought in California, which has led to the state’s first water restrictions.
“Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.” MORE – VIDEO
…not to mention a New Christian Holiday
Not feeling well, and being concerned about his immortality, Barack Obama consults with a psychic about the date of his death.
Closing her eyes and reaching out to the future, she tells the President, “You will die on a Jewish holiday.”
With much anxiety, Barack asks, “Which holiday?”
“It really doesn’t matter.” She replies. “Whenever you die,
it will be a Jewish holiday.”
The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled that a baker who refused to make cakes with anti-gay messages did not discriminate.
Marjorie Silva, owner of Azucar Bakery in Denver, says she got the news on Friday but knows that Bill Jack, a Christian from Castle Rock, Colo., will likely appeal the decision.
“I’m happy that we were not just morally right but legally right,” she said in an interview with Yahoo News. “Hopefully this will lead to a better world where we are friendly to each other.” MORE
Pentecost Sunday and Easter Sunday are of the same Rank but most Catholics and the Fathers don’t treat them equally.
All Catholics have to accept, per pain of MORTAL SIN, the deposit of Faith. The deposit of faith consists of, the BIBLE, the Hierarchy, (Pope & Councils) and Tradition, (customs). The church is the sole interpreter of the Bible.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
In an Easter peace wish, Pope Francis on Sunday praised the framework nuclear agreement with Iran as an opportunity to make the world safer, while expressing deep worry about bloodshed in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa.
Cautious hope ran through Francis’ `’Urbi et Orbi” Easter message, a kind of papal commentary on the state of the world’s affairs, which he delivered from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Square. MORE
In a video that should be the feel-good story of the day and a sign that shows Americans who still love America that we still have many members of law enforcement on our side, a group of US patriots arrived at the state capitol in Washington and proceeded to take down a Chinese/communist flag that was flying between the American flag and the Washington state flag, assisted by a Washington State trooper who obviously loves our country as much as we do.

The Philippines holds the world’s second largest gold reserves, and applications from foreign mining firms are piling up to tap that plus a list of other metals that basically just sit under the ground now. Mining made up just 0.72 of the impoverished Southeast Asian country’s economy in 2012 as gold production fell back 50% to 15,762 tons that year. MORE
Brown said, “This executive order is done under emergency power. It has the force of law. Very unusual. It’s requiring action and changes in behavior from the Oregon border all the way to the Mexican border. It affects lawns. It affects people’s — how long they stay in the shower. How businesses use water.” MORE
LONG LI DIDN’T ask what was in it. All she knew was that she was supposed to use it to clean cell phone screens, hundreds of them every hour. Fumes filled the air in the windowless room where she worked, in a three-story factory outside the southeastern China city of Dongguan. MORE – VIDEO 1 – VIDEO 2
First Epistle Of Saint Paul To Timothy – He warns him against heretics
[1] Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils, [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
How to twist the Gospel for Dummies: Commenting on the Gospel of St. John in which Jesus chases the merchants from the Temple, the pope dwelt upon the expression: “you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade” (John 2:16).
