This Week in the News

We begin with quoting a striking comment from one of America’s well-known pastors; report on the ongoing volatile situation involving Russia, Ukraine, the USA and Europe under German leadership; speak on rarely-reported frightening developments in Ukraine; remind the reader of the devastating consequences of the “Arab Spring” and America’s military invasion of Iraq; report on the ongoing hostility between Israel and the Arab League; mention the belief of German Catholics in many “saints” and the consequences of such superstition; address worldwide religious persecution and renewed earthquake activity in California; and conclude with thought-provoking remarks by an influential and respected American neurosurgeon about alleged benefits of medical marijuana, while questioning the apparent hypocrisy in America’s health-care system.
