Concerning the coming New World Order (world government): on Mar. 31, 2022, Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We do not yet know the full extent and the actual changes which will happen; however, we do know the global energy systems, food systems, and supply chains will be deeply affected.” Globalists don’t know the full impact of what they are doing, but they are planning to drastically change the world, including our energy, food, and supply chain systems. Jesus called what they are doing “the Great Tribulation” and “the tribulation of those days” (Matt. 24:21, 29)....

Anchor Dana Perino said, “I want to ask about the midterms next anyway. You have a great way of transitioning, sir. Inflation, gas, and groceries. this is on everybody’s mind.
