I believe The Pour Over has a heart for putting out good, honest news, but they are truly deceived by fake news. They appeal to Christian millennials who want a quick review of world news but in their attempt, they are spreading all kinds of misinformation. I will copy and paste a sample of their email below. I plan to reach out to them to prove to them they are wrong to just believe every news article out there. They have a responsibility to find truth. Please help me out and give me any good links on Operation Mockingbird, proof that the Rothchilds own the AP (and why that's a bad thing). Any ideas to include is appreciated. Also, I'd love to give them ideas of where to look for the honest news reporting. This is my battle today! Pray for me! I believe if I get this small entity to report real news, it will hopefully reach their followers, which could be many, many more people. Here is the link that went with the first story below:
Here is a sample of what they say in their email newsletter:
U.S. House Committee
Thanksgiving’s dinner conversation starter came early this year… January 6th is back in the headlines.
The January 6th House Select Committee says it has evidence that former President Trump “engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States” and broke several laws in the process.
The Committee cannot bring criminal charges themselves, but they claim the former president: obstructed an official proceeding (Congress’ Jan. 6 session to count electoral votes) defrauded the United States by interfering with election certification violated D.C.’s common fraud law by spreading election misinformation Republicans have said the mostly-Democrat committee—which includes two anti-Donald Republicans—are simply carrying out a partisan attack on Trump.
Also, Jan. 6-related, Joshua James, a member of the Oath Keepers, became the first person to plead guilty of seditious conspiracy connected to violence at the Capitol.

POUR OVER WORLD
Ukraine Update Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is entering its second week.
What’s the latest? Frustrated by a less-than-decisive first week of attacks, Putin has ratcheted up the intensity and is beginning to take some ground: The port city Kherson became the first major Ukrainian city to fall into Russian hands Mariupol, another southern port city, is surrounded and has faced over 24 hours of nonstop shelling Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, continues to face heavy bombardment for the third-straight day, damaging government buildings and killing multiple people However, the 40-mile-long Russian convoy parked 20 miles outside Kyiv hasn’t moved in days.

What’s next? The DOJ will start hunting for yachts as part of an effort to enforce sanctions against Russian oligarchs Moldova, the small, non-NATO country on Ukraine’s western border, is on alert after photos of maps reportedly suggest the country is Putin’s next target ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE Be quick to point to God and give him the credit for your hope, strength, and love during times dominated by uncertainty and fear. Even in the midst of chaos, our eternity is secure.

Fitbit is recalling 1.7 million of its Ionic Smartwatches because its battery can overheat and burn wearers. We know it’s hard to be motivated when the steps don’t “count”, but Ionic owners should remove the watch and run to the post office, once returned they’ll receive a $299 refund and 40% off a new Fitbit.
A bipartisan group of eight state attorneys general launched an investigation Thursday into whether TikTok harms children and teens’ mental health. The investigation will reportedly focus on TikTok’s methods of boosting young user engagement, mirroring a similar investigation into Instagram.

A new report puts $$ to “high inflation”, finding that American families are paying $385 more per month on average. Meanwhile, oil prices continue to rise, crossing $110 for the first time since 2014.

Safety first… TPO PICKS What We’re Using Dwell’s Lenten devotional: Inhabit*
Lent has begun, and while we’re all for giving up candy, TikTok, or hitting the snooze button, we also want this to be a season of spiritual growth and flourishing. We want it to be a season where Christians reconnect with Christ and more fully appreciate the travesty and beauty of his death and resurrection.
This year, we’re doing that with the Inhabit devotional by Dwell, which provides short (yet rich) reflections for each day of the Lenten season.
Read the devotional each day and listen to the corresponding scripture with us on the Dwell app (start your 7-day free trial). Download a free digital copy of the devo today!>
