MARCH FOR OUR LIVES: There Are More Teenage Deaths In Just One Year From Distracted Driving Than In All School Shootings Combined Since 1840

Distracted driving by teenagers causes more death of teenagers, a thousand times more actually, than school shootings. It is the number one cause of death.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Distracted driving is a complex issue that has demanded the attention of those across the country. Don’t become a statistic—fight against distracted driving in order to keep the roads safe and to set a good example for your teen driver.

The first school shooting death in America took place on November 12, 1840, at the University of Virginia. A teacher was shot to death by his student. The most recent school shooting death occurred on October 29, 2018, at the David W. Butler High School in North Carolina. Between the middle of the 19th century and right up to today, 573 people, 99% teenagers, have died in school shootings in the United States. That averages out to precisely 3.6 deaths each year that can be attributed to gun violence in schools in America.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791.

Shockingly, in 2015 alone, 3,477 people died in car wrecks whose cause was directly attributable being distracted and/or texting while driving. The number one people group cited as the cause in these horrific crashes? Teenagers.

So where is boy bully David Hogg, and his army of outraged teen social justice warriors protesting texting while driving? Where are the sit-in protests at the DMV demanding the immediate ban on automobiles? How about camping out in front of Apple, Samsung and Google to demand an immediate ban on cell phones? Instead, we have a ridiculous attempt by the radical Far Left, for whom David Hogg functions as one of their ‘useful idiots’, to get rid of our cherished Second Amendment by calling for the banning of guns.

Think about this. Every day in America 10 teenagers will die in car crashes because the driver got distracted and hit something or someone. That’s 300 people, teenagers, dead each and every month. David Hogg and his high school vigilantes have not yet said one word about addressing the real cause of the largest killers of high school teenagers in America today. They truly don’t seem to care. Interestingly, they all drive cars and they all have cell phones and they all text each other.

Will YOU become the next auto fatality when a distracted teen, texting their social justice warrior buddies about banning guns, runs you over or crashes into you head on? Think about that next time you are driving past a high school. Statistics show that you are 1,000 times more likely to die in a car crash caused by a texting teenage than by dying in a school shooting.

Anyone care about calling for a ban on the problem? (*crickets*). Didn’t think so.

100 Distracted Driving Facts & Statistics for 2018

FROM TEENSAFE: For many, driving is a daily activity, not requiring much thought or consideration. However, the sad reality is that there are 3,287 deaths each year due to fatal car crashes. On average, 9 of these daily fatalities are related to distracted driving. The sad thing? These deaths all stem from a cause that is completely preventable.

Distracted driving in a complex issue within today’s society, affecting drivers across all age groups. In an effort to bring awareness to the issue, April has been deemed Distracted Driving Awareness Month to remind the public that all of these deaths and injuries are completely preventable. After reading these statistics, check out the latest technology innovation for new teen drivers: Focus by TeenDrive!

Below we delve into the scary facts and truths behind this epidemic, digging into the issues contributing factors, the large role cell phones play in this problem, and the science behind cell phone distractions.

The Numbers Behind Distracted Driving

  1. Distracted driving accounts for approximately 25% of all motor vehicle crash fatalities.
  2. At the time of fatal crashes, teens have been the largest age group that reported being distracted while driving.
  3. Driver distraction is reported to be responsible for more than 58% of teen crashes.
  4. In 2015, 391,000 injuries were caused in distracted driving related accidents.
  5. In that same year, distracted driving was cited as a major factor in 3,477 traffic deaths.
  6. 9 people in the U.S. are killed each day as a result of crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
  7. Distracted driving has been called an American epidemic and is completely preventable.
  8. Since there is no way to test for distracted driving after an accident occurs, it’s widely believed that the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities caused by distracted driving are vastly under reported.
  9. It takes only 3 seconds after a driver’s attention has been diverted from the road for a crash to occur.
  10. Car crashes are the number one killer of teens in the U.S.
  11. 16 to 19 year-olds are three times as likely to be involved in a fatal car crash than any other age group.
  12. Americans are driving more miles now than ever before, resulting in more traffic accidents and fatalities.
  13. Distracted driving is commonly referred to as the, “new drunk driving”.
  14. Driving distracted is compared to drunk driving since it follows the same psychological pattern: when drivers get away with driving distracted, they then continue to practice this bad habit until a crash occurs or until they are caught and suffer consequences.
  15. Distracted driving is seen as a tricky problem as it’s a temporary one that is hard to proactively predict and catch.
  16. Over 80% of drivers admit to blatantly hazardous behavior while driving, such as changing clothes, steering with a foot, painting nails, or even shaving.
  17. While the number of drinking and driving fatalities has decreased in teens, the number of traffic fatalities in the age group has not, much attributed to distracted driving.
  18. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identified three types of driver distractions. The first is visual tasks, such as something as simple as checking a navigation system, which causes a driver to divert his or her attention from the road.
  19. The second driver distraction is a manual task, which is something that requires a driver to remove one or both hands from the steering wheel, such as reaching for a drink or cell phone.
  20. The third driving distraction type is cognitive tasks, causing a driver’s mind and focus to wander to something besides the task of driving. READ 80 MORE STATS

David Hogg doesn’t care if teenagers die in car crashes, but he will take your guns

David Hogg has a filthy mouth, so please be warned he likes to throw the F-bomb. On top of that, Hogg is a liar. A thousand times more teenagers die every year from distracted driving than people shot in school shootings. School shootings, as tragic as they are, don’t even make the top ten cause of teen death in this country. If you’re going to protest, why not protest the single-most, number one cause of teen death? Because there’s no money in that.

‘Maria’s Hope’ Vegetable Garden At The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya Is Nearly Ready For Seeds And Seedlings As Workers Install Fencing

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The work on the ‘Maria’s Hope’ vegetable garden at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya has been going on every day this week with wonderful progress

This week, the acre-wide property at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kisii, Kenya has seen a flurry of activity as volunteers first cleared the land and removed the brush, cut down trees to uses for fence posts, and then strun barbed wire all around it to keep curious animals out. The only thing left to do is to plant the seeds and seedlings which is scheduled for tomorrow. NTEB is answering the “Macedonian call” by helping them through Operation Africa!, and it’s been a blessing for the giver as well as the reciever. When complete, it will feed all the 84 orphans while supplying a work-based revenue stream when they sell the overflow produce at market. We are not just giving them a fish, we are giving them the abiity to become fishermen themselves.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

When we first recieved the request for Bibles 4 months ago, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that this is what it would become. But God sure did. All He required from us was to show up and be faithful, and He’s been doing the rest. Supplying them first with Bibles, then medicine to treat malaria and typhoid, getting them a well and tank for clean water, mattresses and blankets, emergency food rations, and now ‘Maria’s Hope’ vegetable garden. This is the complete package.

With your help, I would love to be able to provide them with a cow, a goat and a couple of dozen chickens to go with all the vegetables we are helping them to plant. This is not a hand out, this is a massive help up, something that will provide for them until the Lord comes. We need to raise around $10,000 for all of it. Come help us to do it!!  

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with bibles, medicine, food and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age.

Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: November 22, 1963, Is The Moment When The Deep State Officially Took Control Of America By Taking Out The President

From JFK To Donald Trump: Six Decades Of Government Secrecy, Warrantless Surveillance, Undeclared Wars And The Rise Of The American Deep State

The American Deep State was institutionally created by the National Security Act of 1947, but it came of age in Dallas on November 22, 1963. President John F. Kennedy was murdered in broad daylight, Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office beside a bloodstained Jackie Kennedy, and the government quickly erected an official narrative that would be protected by secrecy for generations. The photograph of a smiling Johnson turning toward a winking Albert Thomas remains the chilling image of that transfer of power. The old president suspiciously dead, the excited new president smiling from ear to ear, and the machinery of permanent government moving forward without missing a beat.

“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?” Isaiah 29:15 (KJB)

What followed was not theory but history: COINTELPRO, MKULTRA, Operation CHAOS, the Gulf of Tonkin deception, Vietnam, Watergate, CIA coups, Iran-Contra, government torture, fabricated certainty about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the Patriot Act and warrantless surveillance of the American people. Presidents changed, parties traded power and congressional hearings occasionally exposed crimes after the damage was done, but the intelligence agencies, military establishment, secret courts, federal law-enforcement apparatus and private defense contractors continued growing. The Deep State is the permanent system beneath the visible government—a machine that survives every election, protects its own secrets and hands every incoming president powers the Constitution never intended him to possess. But those powers come at a very steep price. From Dallas to Vietnam, from Watergate to Iran-Contra, from 9/11 and Iraq to warrantless surveillance, Butler PA and Trump’s expanding wars, the architecture remains firmly standing. Presidents change, slogans change and political parties change, but since November 22, 1963, the machine has never stopped running. On this edition of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you what the Deep State really is, and why we only have one true political party.

Operation Africa! Launches ‘Maria’s Hope’ In Kenya To Help Build A Self-Sustaining Vegetable Garden For The Children Of The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kisii

Maria’s Hope Takes Root In Kenya As Operation Africa! Helps Orphans Build A Sustainable Source Of Food For Their Future

Maria’s Hope is exactly what Operation Africa! was created to do, take the love of Jesus Christ and put it into the hands of people who desperately need to see it working. At the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, these young people are not standing around waiting for another shipment of food to arrive. They are clearing the ground, breaking up the soil, pulling roots, swinging hoes and preparing a garden that, Lord willing, will continue producing long after the first seeds are planted. This is not simply feeding hungry children for one day; this is helping them build a renewable source of food that can keep feeding them tomorrow, next month and next year. Maria’s Hope is about turning a piece of Kenyan soil into provision, stability and opportunity. Come help us complete this live-saving mission of hope.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 (KJB)

The garden will include seeds and plantings for cabbage, spinach, kale, carrots, managu, sagaa, and of course, lots and lots of fertilizer. As you can see in this video, the work of preparing the ground began in earnest this morning. But Maria’s Hope will be more than just produce. Lord willing, and just like we did for Irad in Uganda, we need to get them a cow, a goat and maybe some chickens as well. The beautiful little girl you see in the photo at the top of this article is Maria, and we are naming this garden project in her honor. She is one of 15 orphans at Glory Fellowship who have HIV/AIDS, along with a total of 84 orphans that live at the residence. They need this more than you could possibly imagine.

And this is why Maria’s Hope may become one of the most meaningful projects we have undertaken through Operation Africa! We are not simply sending something that will eventually run out. We are helping create something that can grow. Seeds become plants, plants become food, food becomes strength, and strength allows children to learn, work, worship and build a future. And all of it begins with a patch of red African soil, willing hands, generous NTEB listeners and readers, and a desire to put the gospel of Jesus Christ into action. This is missions work you can see, this is faith you can put your hands on. This is Maria’s Hope. We will need to raise between $5,000-10,000 to bring this garden to completion all told, and when it’s done, it will be there as long as the orphanage survives. Come help us!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with bibles, medicine, food and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
