Euro-Med Monitor reports of countless civilians killed in the streets and in homes by Israeli army snipers, or targeted by Israeli artillery shells, with their bodies being left on the ground for days or weeks on end. There is also ample evidence and video of boys and men being rounded up, stripped down to their underwear and abused. Every man is guilty until proven innocent and have no way to prove their innocence through the human rights abuses and abuse- including children.

Field executions are part of the horrifying crimes committed by Israeli forces in various incursion zones in the Gaza Strip, along with looting, intimidation, arbitrary detention, torture, threats of rape, and widespread destruction, Euro-Med Monitor reports.

The United States is complicit in these crimes against humanity and war crimes. The White House continues to bypass Congress to arm Israel as it breaks and violates international law.

This Art Activism is part of a daily grassroots movement in Washington DC, organized by activist and humanitarian @hazami. The goal is to bring awareness and action to end the atrocities in Gaza and to inspire Americans to realize their role and power in creating change to Free Palestine. While we will never fully understand what those in Gaza are experiencing, we do all that we can to ensure the impacts are felt in Washington DC.

Gospel Legend Bebe Winans Delivers A Celebration Of God’s Bounty In First New Release “Father In Heaven (Right Now)

Regimen Records is proud to announce the highly anticipated single release, video and “One Night Only” performances from Award Winning Contemporary Gospel legend Bebe Winans. On April 12, the Detroit native will deliver his newest offering appropriately titled “Father In Heaven (Right Now)." Written and produced by Winans, "Father In Heaven (Right Now)" recounts the many ways in which he has witnessed and felt God’s hand on his life. The ballad serves as a reminder of celebration and testimony.

Along with the song, the Gospel great is set to deliver a new music video which perfectly conveys the essence of the song. Filmed over the course of four sold out performances across South Africa in January 2024, the official clip for “Father In Heaven (Right Now)” captures Bebe Winans on stage bringing his unique blend of Gospel, Soul and R&B to thousands of fans.

“I must say this song speaks to the core of my being,” the singer says of the song. “I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for everything. I hope it moves listeners to the point of surrender when it is released on April 12, 2024.” In addition to the new single, Bebe Winans is ramping up towards the announcement of a series of special live shows taking place in July 2024. Inspired by a recent performance at New York City’s renowned Apollo Theater, the singer/songwriter and radio personality will be appearing in Chicago - Country Club Hills Amphitheater on July 13, Washington, DC - Kennedy Center on July 24, and Westbury NY - Westbury Music Fair on July 27. Tickets will be made available on Thursday, April 11, 2024 via Ticketmaster. Additional cities and venues will be announced soon.

Over the course of his storied career, Bebe Winans has more than earned his place as one of the most respected voices in not just Gospel music, but contemporary African American pop culture. A member of the legendary Winans Family, he rose to prominence in the late 80’s and early 90’s as a member of the duo Bebe & Cece Winans. The brother/sister team has sold millions of albums to date and garnered over 100 million streams across all platforms with their solo and group releases. Their 1991 album Different Lifestyles landed at the no. 1 position on both Billboard’s R&B Albums chart and the Top Gospel Albums chart.

In addition to his iconic (and still growing) discography - which includes the hits such as: "He Promised Me," "Laughter," "I.O.U. Me," "Heaven," “Addictive Love”, "Hold Up The Light" with Whitney Houston and many more, his voice has also served the Gospel community as host of the nationally syndicated BeBe Winans Radio Show. Bebe Winans is a six-time Grammy Award winner, a six Stellar Award winner, a three-time Soul Train Award winner, a ten-time recipient of the DOVE Awards, and has taken home four NAACP Image Awards, as well as a NAACP Theater Award Winner for "Best Playwright" for the musical, Born For This.

How Much Does Daycare Cost in 2024? The Stats Are Sobering

Going back to work after having a baby is not a cheap thing to do. The average cost of daycare in 2024 is higher than it's ever been, marking an expensive new chapter in the decades-long childcare crisis in the United States. "Parents are paying exorbitant fees," says Cathy Creighton, who studies childcare costs as the director of Cornell University's ILR Buffalo Co-Lab. For many families, daycare prices are higher than in-state tuition at a public four-year college. If you're getting ready to send your little one to daycare when parental leave is over, buckle up - here's an idea of the costs you might be looking at. The Average Cost of Daycare in 2024 According to a January 2024 report from childcare platform Care.com, which draws from the tuition info of daycares listed on the site, the average cost to have an infant in a licensed center-based daycare is $16,692 a year, or $321 a week. Home-based daycare for an infant costs, on average, $11,960, or $230 a week. For a toddler, the average center-based daycare is $15,236 a year ($293 a week), and a home-based daycare averages $11,388 ($219 a week). For parents of school-age kids, meanwhile, Care.com found the average cost to get an afternoon sitter for 15 hours a week is $15,184 per year, or $292 a week. Of course, costs can vary widely depending on where you live. For instance, the average infant daycare cost in Washington DC is $21,788, while in Arkansas, it's $6,708. Even within a state, there can be a huge difference between the fees in a major city and a rural or lower-income area. Why Daycare Costs Are Rising These numbers are all higher than they were last year, varying between .4 to 13 percent more. And Sean Lacey, general manager of childcare at Care.com, says that fees are only projected to grow further this year. That's partially due to inflation, but mostly because of what's been termed "the childcare cliff": the end of the $24 billion in pandemic-era federal funding that supported 220,000 childcare providers. The aid just expired in September 2023, so we're only starting to see the effects, according to Creighton. "You know, there's a cut, and it'll take a little while for the body to bleed out," she says. "It's going to be quite grim." Without those government funds, daycare centers - which operate on very slim margins - have to either pass that cost along to parents or shut down. Progressive think tank The Century Foundation projects that 70,000 childcare centers will close, leaving more than three million children across the country without care. Meanwhile, many of the daycare centers that continue to remain open are having trouble staying fully staffed, per an analysis from the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment. Classrooms are empty, and wait lists are growing. "There's just more demand than there is supply," Lacey says. The Effects of High Daycare Costs For all but the very wealthy and parents who qualify for a childcare subsidy, daycare is a major financial burden. The US Department of Health and Human Services considers childcare to be "affordable" when it costs no more than seven percent of a family's income. Yet according to Care.com's findings, parents are spending an average of 24 percent of their household income on childcare, and 23 percent of respondents anticipate spending more than $36,000 on it this year. And it's not just their salaries they're using to pay for tuition. More than a third of parents surveyed by Care.com reported dipping into their savings to cover the cost of childcare - and a staggering 68 percent of those families said they only have six months or less until their savings are depleted. At a certain point, parents are forced to take more drastic measures. Cornell's recent research on childcare in New York, released in March 2024, found that 42 percent of respondents who had kids said someone in their household had stopped working to take care of their children, and 76 percent… https://www.popsugar.com/family/daycare-cost-49345724?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Shortwave Radiogram, 19-22 January 2024 (program 338): Dirt-powered digital modes

If you are looking for some winter reading, check out my "Why we need Shortwave 2.0" in the January 17 Radio World. It includes discussion of our Shortwave Radiogram project, to which you all contribute. After a writing drought, I also had a piece on the politico-bureaucratic side of international broadcasting in the The Hill, January 5: "‘Radio Free Everywhere’ defeats the purpose of Voice of America." Read them. They will help you get to sleep. Speaking of droughts, our snow drought in the Washington DC area ended with about four inches (10 cm) on January 16. And there will be more tonight. It's amazing to see the tracks of the wildlife on all sides of our house, including foxes, maybe coyotes, deer, rabbits, and assorted others. I am now keeping gates open to facilitate their movements. Temperatures here have dropped below 20F/-7C. Chances are it's colder, with more snow on the ground, where you are. A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 337) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 338, 19-22 January 2024, in MFSK modes as noted: 1:42 MFSK32: Program preview 2:49 MFSK32: "Dirt-powered fuel cell" draws energy from soil 9:00 MFSK64: Turkey's latest VPN ban blocks independent media 13:47 MFSK64: This week's images 27:54 MFSK32: Closing announcements Please send reception reports to [email protected] And visit http://swradiogram.net Twitter: @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram (visit during the weekend to see listeners’ results) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304 Shortwave Radiogram Gateway Wiki: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Shortwave_Radiogram_Gateway

You Could Say the Massive Pro-Terrorist Rally in DC Devolved Into an Insurrection

Hordes of pro-terrorist supporters invaded Washington, DC, to voice support for a ceasefire in Gaza, which will only benefit the barbaric animals that call themselves Hamas. This terror group launched a heinous attack against Israel on October 7, murdering 1,200 Israeli men, women, and children. The genocidal assault sowed the seeds for Hamas's destruction as Israeli forces invaded the Gaza Strip later that month.

The IDF has one goal: the destruction of this terrorist organization that’s dominated the Gaza Strip since 2007. Despite protests from Arab leaders of the Israeli operation, they’re reportedly encouraging Israel’s campaign against the terror group behind the scenes, even going so far as to say Israel shouldn't stop until Hamas is destroyed. Everyone sees them as a domestic threat (via Washington Post):

Thousands of protesters gathered in downtown D.C. Saturday afternoon at a rally calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and a halt to U.S. aid to Israel. A sea of black, green, red and white flags floated over the crowd in Freedom Plaza, blocks from the White House, as the protesters chanted “Free Free Palestine” and held picket signs with messages such as “Cease Fire Now” and “End the War in Gaza.” Other signs accused the Israeli government of practicing apartheid and charged President Biden with genocide. The rally was part of a global day of protests that saw similar pro-Palestinian marches in cities including London, Rome, Paris, Dublin, Johannesburg and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Demonstrators, who arrived by the busload and streamed from Metro stations, expressed outrage over the ongoing war and U.S. support for Israel’s bombing campaign that has displaced much of the population and left more than 23,000 Gazans dead and approximately 60,000 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. […] Merveen Adwan said she was born in Gaza, but fled with her three children after a spate of violence in 2000 and now lives in Montgomery County. “I’ve been living this life since I was born,” Adwan said. “Israel is committing genocide under the eyes of the whole world, with the aid of the U.S., and the rest of the world accepts that. If there is no justice in Gaza, that means there can be none in the whole world.”

Recommended

There is no genocide, you idiots. And we don’t know the real death toll. Hamas runs the Gaza Health Ministry. The Left has taken a nasty liking to Hamas, which is fueled by virulent antisemitism. Based on the Left’s rules, the terrorist sympathizers fomented an armed rebellion outside the White House:

🚨: Palestinian protesters aggressively shake and hit the security fence outside the White House.@FrontlinesTPUSA@TPUSA pic.twitter.com/rmJUx9d9ZT— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) January 13, 2024

And this right here is why I couldn’t care less about the so-called pro-Palestinian side. They’re just terrorists:
