That’s French, for goodbye. There used to be a country in Europe called “France”, from time to time I’ve sarcastically referred to it as “Francistan”. I was right. France has committed suicide on the installment plan. French citizens should have been able to grasp a bit of a clue from the murder of Sarah Halimi. A muslim immigrant who lived in her apartment building broke into another apartment in the same building earlier and the family was able to lock themselves into a room and call the police and beg for help. They could hear him in the next room praying. Since he couldn’t get to them, he broke into Sarah Halimi’s apartment. He had previously threatened the 65 year old Jewish doctor and she was scared of him. Long story short, believe me, I’m leaving out the parts about the police not coming into the building etc, he beat her savagely and threw her out the window, killing her. The killer was not held responsible for his actions. He’d smoked pot the night before…wait till Hunter Biden hears about that defense. What am I thinking? He’s Hunter Biden, he doesn’t need a defense. The DOJ will handle it. The lesson in this was that the French government will protect it’s invaders over it’s own citizens who are required to support, feed, house and die for them. Did the French get slightly queasy over this incident? Apparently, no. They elected Macron.

So fast forward, to now. France is becoming/is an inferno. And just what triggered this inferno? French voting habits for French candidates like Macaroon, and a desire for unfiltered immigration of people that do not begin to try to assimilate info French culture which is why there are no-go zones. Apparently French politicians initially attempted to deny this as phase one of the typical strong French response to an invasion by people that do not have their country’s very best interests at heart.

From 2017 ‘No-go Zone’ New app launched to report crimes in France as terror threat remains critical

The app’s description states: “Whether you are staying in an unknown location, looking for a safe place to live, on your way to a specific location, or for whatever reason, No-Go Zone allows you to reduce any risk of aggression, theft, harassment or incivility.”

Paris boosts police in female ‘no-go zone’, as French feminist decries ‘unquestionable’ regression in status of women

Paris has boosted police numbers in one of its poorest districts, where migrants crowd the streets and which has turned into what some say is a “no-go zone” for women.…

No-Go Zones Now in Heart of Big Cities

In the heart of Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, Grenoble, Avignon, districts here and there have been “privatized” by a mix of drug traffickers, Salafist zealots and Islamic youth gangs. The main victims are women. They are – Muslim and non-Muslim — sexually harassed; some are sexually assaulted. The politicians, as usual, are fully informed of the situation imposed upon women.

They knew the invaders were an issue, but to French politicians apparently they were only threatening women, so in a strong display of French masculinity, the politicians chose the invaders over the women. Well, and the police, the invaders attacked the police, but hey, they’re the left and they’re only attacking women and police so not really a problem. Those women didn’t need to go to the store. All those articles are from 2017. And yet, they elected Macaroon.

So what set the invaders off this time? 17-year-old “Victim” was Gangbanger with 15-Count Rap Sheet and History of Running Police Stops

At 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 27, two motorcycle officers saw Nahel M. in a high-powered, bright yellow Mercedes A-Class AMG with Polish license plates, racing through Nanterre, and gave chase. The 17-year old led them on a pursuit over sidewalks, through red lights and down bus lanes until finally forced to stop by traffic at 8:16 am.

The two officers dismounted and confronted the homicidal maniac at gunpoint, demanding he cut the engine. Instead, Nahel M floored it, striking the officer in front of his windshield and possibly triggering the gunshot which hit him fatally in the chest. The speeding sports car then struck an obstacle and flipped on its roof. One passenger fled on foot and one was arrested.

Nahel was 17, too young to have a French driver’s license.

….

Nonetheless, the hero officer is now being charged with “voluntary homicide”. French President Macron stabbed the officer doing his duty in the back by calling the young hoodlum’s death “inexplicable, inexcusable”, all but guaranteeing the courageous officer will not receive a fair trial.

Of course Macaroon and the media are fanning flames and throwing gasoline on them as fast and as much as they can. The left is the left is the left the world over.

In an attempt to riot in a manner to make George Floyd rioters proud, the burning began.

100 Cities Burning: France’s Sheer Anarchy the Worst Crisis Since Yellow Vests in 2018 – Some Rioters Seen Discharging Automatic Weapons

Considering the gun control laws in Francistan, inquiring minds want to know where they got AUTOMATIC weapons. All the information on this page is pretty stale.

Number of Privately Owned Firearms 2020: 13,584,407

Rate of Civilian Firearm Possession per 100 Population 2017: 18.97

Proportion of Adults Living in a Home With a Gun

In France, the percentage of adults living in a household with a firearm is reported to be 2015: 7%

Number of Licensed Firearm Owners

The number of licensed gun owners in France is reported to be 2021: 5,000,000

The French are proud of this. How France cut its per capita gun ownership in half

In France, there is no preordained right to bear arms, absent rigid registration and surveillance of their use. So most modern attacks, excluding terrorist incidents involving weapons obtained from abroad, are undertaken by trucks, cars and even knives.

In other words, mass shootings are not the norm in France. And the United States would benefit from closely examining French gun laws in order to reduce the risk of another mass shooting within its own borders.

Stuff it cnn. #FakeNews

Gun control in France

Like other European countries, France has tight gun laws. Acquiring a permit to own a weapon is long and tricky and there are restrictions on what types of guns people can buy. Despite France’s tough laws, a large number of illegal weapons are circulating in the country. Could the recent terrorist attacks spark a change in French gun culture?

This is working out well for the citizens/serfs of Francistan. Unyielding Against Unrest: French Local Citizens Arm Themselves with Wooden Sticks to Protect Businesses and Homes

You’ll notice the ranks of the invaders is now being augmented with the skinny, white, mom jeans wearing antifa types.

Social media platforms were inundated with videos depicting urban landscapes set ablaze. Macron requested these platforms to remove the most sensitive footage of rioting and disclose the identities of users inciting violence. Of course, they want it removed because they don’t want the whole world to know what’s happening in France.

Because of Macron’s weak response to the civil unrest, French business owners and residents are taking matters into their own hands.

They are arming themselves with wooden sticks, ready to protect their homes and businesses against threats.

Thankfully due to Francistan’s strong gun control laws, the citizen-serfs don’t have much in the way of effective, self-defense tools! Someone might get hurt!

France Mobilizes 40,000 Officers to Quell Violence as Teen’s Death Sparks Outrage

I’m not sure France’s Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has a firm grasp on reality.

“I want to reiterate that the riots we experienced last night had nothing to do with this story … and that attacking a school, setting fire to a social center, burning down a town hall had nothing to do with these stories from Nanterre,” he said.

Of course, some politicians in Francistan may be viewing it a bit differently now. Migrant Mob Torch Mayor’s Home, Wife and Kids Injured Escaping

The mayor’s wife had to flee their home under attack, lifting their children over the wall to the neighbors’ yard, injuring themselves in the process. The wife and one of the children were hospitalized with fractures. The two children were “very traumatized”, FranceInfo reports.

The rioters were chanting, must have been something like “Justice for George Floyd or Hand’s up don’t shoot” in French.

Race rioters chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they torch France, 719 arrested

“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar,” rioters chanted as they torched vehicles and launched mortar-style fireworks at buildings and police, according to video

But not to worry citizens of Francistan! Emmanuel Macaroon has your back, he’s got things well in hand. In a customary display of French leadership…..he went to see Elton John.

LET THEM EAT CAKE: Elitist Emmanuel Macron Goes to Elton John Concert as France Burns

France is descending into civil war as Arab gangs took to the streets for a fourth day of rioting after a 17-year-old was shot trying to run a traffic stop in Paris suburb Nanterre Tuesday. 45 000 security forces have been deployed and almost 1,300 arrests made.

And while the Macaroon may not be that upset about it, apparently the French police have had enough. French police union declares “civil war” in France: it’s us or the violent minorities…

This is an unreal communiqué by the main French police unions, essentially declaring France is in a civil war and that the police is in the “resistance” against the government.

This is the translation:

“Now that’s enough…

Facing these savage hordes, asking for calm is no longer enough, it must be imposed!

Restoring the republican order and putting the apprehended beyond the capacity to harm should be the only political signals to give.

In the face of such exactions, the police family must stand together.

Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer bear the tyranny of these violent minorities.

The time is not for union action, but for combat against these “pests”. Surrendering, capitulating, and pleasing them by laying down arms are not the solutions in light of the gravity of the situation.

It Begins: France to Shut Down Internet in “Certain” Neighborhoods to Prevent Use of Social Media to Organize Violence

You know, a suspicious mind would think this was being done to stop the flood of images being posted by terrified citizens/serfs of Francistan to Twitter and the like. In case new and improved Twitter won’t do the censorship for them like they have in the past. Nawww, prolly not.

But some French citizens are displaying that fighting spirit for which they are so renown. And you wonder how Macaroon was elected?

WATCH: Woman BEGS police not to arrest race rioters as France continues to burn

The absolute irony is that looking at the woman’s outfit, had any of the invaders gotten hold of her, she probably wouldn’t have fared well at all.

“Please, I beg you not to fight them,” the woman cried out to police as she kneeled in the streets of Lyon, France.

The woman’s request came as police officers were being attacked by race rioters with mortar-style fireworks while responding to fires set to buildings and vehicles in Lyon, according to the video.

Well, the chances of a citizen/serf doing much of anything useful to stop the rioters from attacking them is pretty slim. According to Jack Posobiec:

A video just came out of France of a Frenchman trying to stand up to the mob and having his hands cut off, lying in the street

Macron has failed his people.

Lest you think I’m gloating over Francistan’s misfortune, self inflicted due to voting for the left. I’m not. Not really. America is now having the same problems begin.

Windy City Mayhem: HUNDREDS OF YOUTHS Invade Chicago Neighborhood, Destroy Property, and Terrorize Homeowners for Several Hours – Gunshots Also Reportedly Heard

This is what happens when cities coddle criminals.

Hundreds of deranged teenagers stormed the streets of a Chicago neighborhood earlier this week and caused massive destruction along the way with no police in sight to protect the helpless residents.

WGN TV reported that around 9 PM Monday night, the teens poured off the Chicago “L” train at the Belmont Red Line stop and completely shut down the roadway for several hours. Residents were left in complete terror.

Teenagers….where the heck are their parents???

Chiraq has some of the most restrictive gun citizen control laws around. The serfs there know that much of the budget is going to the illegal invaders and shunted away from the usual recipients of the largess of the taxpayers, and yet…they voted for a mayor even further left than Beetlejuice. Full on Communist? Well how could the people of Chiraq pass that up? Between being helpless, the defund the police, tons of illegal invaders I do not envy the denizens.

That being said, I think before long we’re going to be seeing a combination of those raised to believe that bad behavior is their heritage, like a birthright and the illegal invaders begin to do the same here. Especially as food shortages set in. Turns out I’m not the only gloom and doom person out there. Actually I think there are a lot of us. Compliments of the Biden crime regime. And like that incredibly stupid woman begging the police not to attack the invaders, demoncrat voters continue to defend them and vote for them. Of course few Republicans have really done anything to fix the vote fraud, so it probably doesn’t matter anyway.

Dire prediction from Cernovich

There’s more than a few reasons we celebrate our Independence day tomorrow, but the advantage we have over the citizen-serfs of Europe is we are armed, those that so choose. May we never have to cower in our homes as illegal invaders drive cars into our homes with bottle of gasoline intending to burn the residents alive, never cower helplessly waiting for the police who will never come.

I still believe the majority of Americans want the country that was founded on G-dly principals and choose to follow a G-dly way of living and want no part of what demoncrats are serving up.

Of course a solution can be found in Tanakh, Divrei Hayamim II, or II Chronicles 7

11

And Solomon completed the House of the Lord and the king’s palace and whatever entered Solomon’s mind to make in the House of the Lord and in his palace, he succeeded.

12

And the Lord appeared to Solomon at night, and He said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for Myself for a House of sacrifice.

13

If I shut up the heaven and there be no rain, and if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence upon My people.

14

And My people, upon whom My name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways, I shall hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.

15

Now, My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

16

And now, I have chosen and consecrated this House that My name be there forever, and My eyes and heart will be there at all times.

17

As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I commanded you, and you keep My statutes and My ordinances.

18

I shall set up the throne of your kingdom as I decreed to your father David, saying: You shall never lack a man ruling in Israel.

19

But if you revert and forsake My statutes and My commandments, which I placed before you, and you go and worship strange gods and prostrate yourselves to them.

20

I shall uproot them from upon My land, which I gave them, and this House, which I have consecrated for My name I shall cast from before Me, and I shall make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

And personally, I keep remembering a talk I heard Rabbi Alon Anava give a few years ago. He said Moshiach was coming very soon, and if Trump was elected the time before his arrival would be gentle, if biden that the time before his coming would be very hard, but either way he was coming. And he is. I believe G-d intended people to live in the freedom that following his laws gives, which probably explains why demoncrats and their deluded followers hate freedom, America, people of faith and G-d. Defy them, celebrate our Independence day, enjoy spending time with family and friends, make some ice cream, eat a burger, sing some songs, watch a patriotic movie. Do whatever your family does to celebrate the miracle of America and do it with joy, gratitude and prayer. Lots and lots of prayer…may G-d bless U.S.

An Invisible “AR-15”?

Did you hear about the guy wearing a helmet shooting up Turnberry Towers in Las Vegas with an “AR-15” last Friday? Unless you do your own specific news searches, you probably didn’t.

ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC, MSNBC… none of them seems to be covering it for some strange reason. Normally some bad guy blasting away with one of those evil black AR-15s — especially in Vegas — gets wall-to-wall coverage, accompanied by more calls to ban ’em. But not this time. Crickets. Nowhere to be seen, other than a local report.

Here’s a hint.

The resident says it was an employee of the towers who stopped the attack, and thinks they are a hero who deserves recognition for stepping in.

Yep, effective armed self defense by a honest person carrying lawfully. They can’t afford to publicize that, even at the cost of missing a chance to demonize AR-patterns firearms. First rule of mainstream media: never admit armed defense works, especially when it may have stopped a mass shooting.

And speaking of that “AR-15″… the report does refer to the weapon as such, but I’m not so sure. Let’s check the video.

There is a pistol grip, but I see no magazine protruding. The barrel appears thin, with no shroud or gas tube. I’m not enough of a firearm ID expert to say what it is, but it doesn’t look like anything in the AR family.

Why We Fight

4 Comments

Today is D-Day, and I suppose in a lead up to D-Day Shimshon and I have been watching some (what I consider) relevant movies and documentaries. We started watching Band of Brothers last week and a couple of nights ago finished it. One of the episodes is called “Why We Fight”. If you haven’t seen Band of Brothers I’ll give you the relevant point. The war is pretty much over, a few of the men from Easy Company are out in the woods on patrol, just kind of clearing the area when they run across the first concentration camp they’ve seen. They don’t know what it is. They send one of the men back to headquarters to try to find an officer. He finds Dick Winters (who was a very good officer, and I suspect and even better human) and the next scene is of a few officers; Ronald Speirs, Lewis Nixon and some of the rest of Easy Company including Joesph Liebgott. This mattered because Liebgott spoke German. In the first part of the episode many of the men had been questioning why had they given up the years of their lives to live in trenches and fight bad men. After they saw the concentration camps, and Liebgott was able to ask them questions and relay the answers to the officers they all more fully understood the situation. Dick Winters later tells Lewis Nixon the Russians found camps that were even worse. I suspect that may have been the first time some of the boys had seen that level of depravity and evil that can be inflicted on fellow human beings. The next lesson the men learned was “cultured, civilized” people are perfectly capable of standing by and allowing the atrocities, murder and starvation of innocent people. When the men of Easy talked to the town people they all denied knowing anything about it. Apparently one of the Generals had a brilliant idea. The townspeople were hauled out to the concentration camp to bury the bodies. The trait is easily visible today and when someone is being attacked there will be 4,352 TikTok, YouTube and FakeBook videos of the whole thing. Of someone like Daniel Penny stepping in to help others? Not so many.

The next atrocity to be fought was in Israel. You see the Not So Great Britain was there. Last night Shimshon and I watched the 2014 Documentary The Forsaken Promise. This is the whole documentary. Not sure how long it will be there.

The League of Nations trusted Britain to establish a national home for the Jews in their historic homeland, Israel.

The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, a 10,000-square-miles3 area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

The legally binding document was conferred on April 24, 1920 at the San Remo Conference, and its terms outlined in the Treaty of Sèvres on August 10, 1920. The Mandate’s terms were finalized and unanimously approved on July 24, 1922, by the Council of the League of Nations, which was comprised at that time of 51 countries,4 and became operational on September 29, 1923.5

The “Mandate for Palestine” was not a naive vision briefly embraced by the international community in blissful unawareness of Arab opposition to the very notion of Jewish historical rights in Palestine. The Mandate weathered the test of time: On April 18, 1946, when the League of Nations was dissolved and its assets and duties transferred to the United Nations, the international community, in essence, reaffirmed the validity of this international accord and reconfirmed that the terms for a Jewish National Home were the will of the international community, a “sacred trust” – despite the fact that by then it was patently clear that the Arabs opposed a Jewish National Home, no matter what the form.

But despite being trusted by the entire league of nations to re-establish Israel (the nation, the tribes) in Israel (the land) Britain did not do that. In fact, Britain not only limited the number of Jews fleeing hitler and the nazis, they sent refugee ships back. But, so did America under the Demoncratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The British disarmed the Jews living in Israel as best as they could, while arming the arabs. In the riots of the 1920s and onward the Brits would stand back and allowed the Jews they had disarmed to be slaughtered. One horrific example at 1:45:00 into the documentary details the attack of 13 April 1948 when a medical convoy was trying to get to the Hadassah hospital in the besieged Jerusalem. The convoy was carrying patients, medical personnel and supplies, it was stopped and attacked by arabs. The Brits checked every convoy trying to get into Jerusalem to make sure that none of the Jews had any weapons, so they were defenseless against the arabs. The people were butchered. No, I didn’t mean killed. There was a British outpost nearby and the soldiers wanted to intervene and were told to stand down. It is reported some of the soldiers cried as they watched the slaughter and mutilation that followed. But they didn’t do anything. There are photographs of the aftermath in the video.

When the refugee ships came in to Israel, the Brits would put the Jews in one of several prison camps. One woman was in prison for five years, she and her husband had escaped, but she lost her whole family to the nazis in the concentration camps. She told of how the British soldiers would beat the prisoners, really they were quite despicable. But if you look at the pattern of the Brits…..America vs. Britain, Ireland vs Britain, Israel vs. Britain….Britain has not been on the side of good in any of those, and in the beginning of WWII Chamberlain made appeasement with hitler, so.

There was really nothing Israel could do about it at this point. They didn’t have control of their own country. The British did, the Jewish Israelis just had to suffer at the whims of the anti-Semitic British government. Oh, yes I did mean to say that. Watch the documentary. See, when your local politicians are not in control, when they have to bow to the will of others who may not have the very best welfare of your nation at heart when making decisions, it will not turn out well. This is something to keep in mind as the traitorous criminal Joe Biden tries to turn U.S. over to the benevolent dictatorship of the W.H.O. with the pandemic treaty. WHO Pandemic Treaty Is a Threat to Liberty. They are already talking about digital tracking. Seems the injection mandates and green passports were just such a dandy paradigm that a lot of the framework is already in place. We already have the FIB so we have the SS who are willing to throw political opposition in the Gulag to prevent them from speaking out. According to whistle blower Steven Friend, it’s not the rank and file of the FIB, instead is the leadership at the top.

Which brings me to leadership. Both examples are from WWII, both of these men came from humble backgrounds. I don’t know that either of them ever aspired to fame, but G-d put something in them that was needed on that day at that time, leadership.

The first man I mentioned earlier, Ronald Speirs, clip is 1:26 seconds long.

The next man I think I may have written about before, General Norman Dutch Cota, he puts paid to the notion you have to be in your prime and in great shape to make great things happen. 7:05 seconds long.

These men fought, because they knew what lay behind them were things they loved and cared about, family, friends and a way of life, their country and freedom to live their lives as they chose. They may have known some of what they were fighting against in front of them, but I don’t think in the beginning they even fully grasped the depth of evil they were up against. Man’s inhumanity to man.

I believe G-d puts the ability to fight back against evil into every creature. I believe we have the ability to fight on despite odds being against us. Every creature.

That cat absolutely is inspiring, and yes, it’s a cat not a small dog. Dogs don’t slap or bat like that. It’s a partisan guerilla cat! It gets in, gets the job done and gets out. A Chuck Norris cat.

Yes, we have a lot stacked against U.S. right now, and many of our fellow citizens have fallen victim to the Fifth Generation Warfare being conducted against U.S. by our own corrupt government. So we may not have as many allies as we should, and have more enemies than we deserve. But we don’t get to choose that bit. We do get to choose if we will pick up the torch that was handed U.S. by the men and women of WWII. It’s all about our mindsets.  Maybe we will talk to people, maybe we will contact politicians, maybe we will go to political rallies and meetings, maybe we will donate money to people like Sen. Josh Hawley that actually do fight back. Goodness knows Soros donates to the likes of Kim Fox, Kim Gardner and their ilk. Maybe we just talk to our kids and grandkids and make sure they understand truth and reality and try to offset some of the damage being done in public schools. Maybe we become more informed about issues. Maybe we join our local grassroots Second Amendment group. But there will be some way for each of us to fight, because 79 years after D-Day, we have a far better idea of why we fight than they did that day they landed on the beaches of Normandy.

This is Jim Quinn’s D-Day tribute, he’s been doing it for years. It starts after 42 seconds.

When Rights are Privileges

5 Comments

As you may, or not know, the United Nations has claimed there is no human right to self-defense.

Does a woman have a human right to resist rape or murder? Do people have a human right to resist tyranny? The United Nations Human Rights Council has said no – that international law recognizes no human right of self-defense. To the contrary, the Human Rights Council declares that very severe gun control – more restrictive than even the laws of New York City – is a human right.

Unless of course, one is a member of the U.N.

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

I would maintain that this is because the U.N. thinks they are G-d. G-d has a different command.

“If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first.” This one is an under 8 minute video.

Psalms 144:1

1 Praise be to the L-RD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

As well as we are commanded to look out for the weaker or helpless.

Psalms 82:4

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

So, what has set me off on this? An incident that happened in formerly red state Texas. And maybe Texas is still a red state, Austin however, is not. If Texas had any sense they would expel Austin.

In July 2020, during the summer of riots for a man that overdosed on drugs, had a criminal record including pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach, a BLM/Antifa rioter decided it would be a great idea to point a loaded rifle at a soldier who was working as a ride share driver. Apparently BLM/Antifa scum thought he would be the only one armed. He guessed wrong. Sgt. Daniel Perry was armed. When his car was surrounded after he had dropped his passenger off, and aforementioned BLM/Antifa rioter pointed his rifle at Sgt. Perry, Sgt. Perry shot him. This seems sensible to me.

This will be the last sensible thing in this saga for some time.

The Travis county jury found Sgt. Perry guilty of murder. Unbelievable. But wait, there’s more.

Detective In Daniel Perry Self-Defense Case Says Soros-Backed Prosecutor Told Him To “Remove Exculpatory Information”

Fugitt said, “It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or show the witnesses statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such witnesses gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question.

And now we’re at the point where the adults are going to have to intercede.

Texas AG Paxton Slams Soros-Backed DA After Jury Finds Army Sergeant Guilty of Murder For Fatally Shooting Armed BLM-Antifa Protester in Self-Defense

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton slammed Soros-backed Travis County DA Jose Garza after a jury convicted a Texas soldier of murder for shooting a BLM-Antifa terrorist in self-defense.

A Texas soldier was found guilty of murder on Friday after Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza sought murder charges for an act of self defense during the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Texas AG Ken Paxton slammed the Soros prosecutor after Governor Abbott refused appear on Tucker Carlson’s show to speak on the case.

Texas Governor Seeks to Pardon Army Sergeant Convicted of Killing Gun-Wielding Protester

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he is seeking to pardon the U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of shooting dead a man wielding a gun at him during a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020.

Abbott announced on April 8 that he will pardon Sgt. Daniel Perry, 37, who was working for Uber in Austin at the time, as soon as a request from the state’s parole board “hits my desk.”

“I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry,” Abbott wrote on Twitter.

I would say our criminal justice system is well and truly jacked up. But what should we expect when you have people that actually vote for a communist that says he wants to send unarmed social workers out to crime scenes. Yep, that’s what Chiraq chose to replace Beetlejuice in Chicago, whom they wanted rid of due to the spiraling crime rates. Frying pan, meet fire.

There is a heck of a disconnect between the brain of a leftist and reality. Of course, if they used voting machines for the elections, who knows.

Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson (D) told CBS News on Thursday his plan to tackle the city’s crime problem: Send more social workers to crime scenes.

Johnson, a staunch progressive, pointed to instances where police killed black men as evidence to say more police officers are not the solution.

While this is away from the topic of self-defense, it does I think give a clue to the mindset of the politicians on the left.

IT NEVER ENDS: Biden Regime Set to Unleash Scheme to Wipe Out Gasoline-Powered Cars

The Biden regime is determined to force Americans to swallow their radical “climate change” agenda by any means necessary.

FOX News revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will announce the most restrictive standards in American history on gas-powered cars. The regulations will specifically target tailpipe emissions.

Under this plan, all Americans will likely be forced to buy electric vehicles, which is exactly what Biden wants.

Did this go through Congress? Senate? House? Hellloooo, did ya’ll vote for this? You’re our elected representatives, you answer to U.S. Did you sign off on this? Or did a tyrant just hijack your job in another blatant attempt to help China and limit the freedom of movement of American Citizens? The EPA, I don’t remember voting for them.

This is where I’m going with this, yes, there is a Second Amendment. However, if the Soros purchased D.A.s just ignore it (for some, not the protected class of course) and go ahead a prosecute even in a clear case of self-defense, does it matter? No ammo or guns were banned, it’s just if you defend yourself they will try to bankrupt you, or put you in jail for defending your life. If you’re not one of the BLM/Antifa rioters, or a repeat offender criminal, those they do catch and release.

Sometimes I read threads on Quora, there are discussion thread on all kinds of things. You might be reading a thread on a TV show, and the next thread under it is a question posted about “what would happen if I decided to take a gun away from someone I saw carrying” “Is there any reason I and some friends shouldn’t follow someone into a bathroom we know is carrying a gun and take it away from them”. “When will gun owners admit their right to have their weapons of death should not interfere with my right to feel safe”.

It is absolutely appalling to me the number of people that think they have the right to forcibly take private property from someone they don’t know, they aren’t doing anything wrong, and these moonbats think they are well within their rights to attack someone and steal from them. Thank you colleges, universities and MSM aka #FakeNews. If anything ever was a argument for concealed carry, it’s this sort of thing.

There is NO common ground to be found with these people. None.

The added in part will be marked in case you’ve already read this. But it was so applicable it just feel compelled to include it.

I’m having trust issues. I am beginning to think the government both state and federal doesn’t love U.S. or have our very best interests at heart. Since it’s Saturday night, I think some movies might be in order! Most of the clips are 2-3 minutes. The longer ones are the one about the DMED with Attorney Tom Renz testifying, it’s a hyperlink and about 7 minutes long. He so rocks. The final one by Dr. Lawrie is 4 minutes.

For example, we’ve been pounded that the experimental gene therapy injections were safe and effective and if you didn’t take them you are putting the entire planet at risk. And one MN Senator is still chirping “Safe and Effective”

I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.

But apparently the death dart (developed and deployed by the DOD) is just the warm up. Demoncrats are standing at the ready. Probably waiting for the WHO pandemic treaty to be signed in a couple of months.

In addition to the data bases being fiddled with, it’s easy to claim safe and effective if you fire the people trying to report the injection adverse events. Cuts down on paperwork you see. Physician Assistant Fired for Reporting COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events to VAERS

It’s almost like Fauxci has some other plan in place, right? I’ve tried to start this at 3:40 in so you won’t be subjected to any more Fauxci than necessary. But I found this part interesting. Also interesting that we taxpayers pay for Pravda Broadcasting System.

Edit/Add in:

If you had always wondered about how the country came to be locked down, the Brownstone institute just came out with an article on the time line and who was involved in convincing President Trump to shut U.S. down, because initially, he wasn’t going to do that. Typical bad actors like #PenceOfCrap, Fauxci and Birx, but it’s interesting. How They Convinced Trump to Lock Down

But this, this is the real reason I’m updating this column. I was happily listening to an Irish History podcast after I finished this article and had it up. Computer shut down for the night, supper finally awaiting me. This podcast was on the life of Dennis Doherty, a man who originally enlisted in the British army (he shoulda known better) to escape starvation in Ireland as many young lads did. He spent the next 45 years or so trying to escape prison. If you want to listen to the about 30 minute podcast I’m going to give the link. This podcast was done on May 12, 2013. Yes, it matters. Long before the rise of the cult Covidian. One of the prisons he wound up in was in Port Arthur in Tasmania. It’s what was known as a “model prison” with the goal of reforming the prisoners by breaking them down. Dennis had a penchant for trying to escape prison you see, what with a desire for freedom and all. But the treatment the prisoners received in the “model prison” was what dropped my jaw. This would have been somewhere between 1858-1863. No that’s not a typo, I mean well over a hundred years ago. The prisoners were kept in strict isolation. If they were allowed out of their cells they were to maintain 4.5 meters of space from everyone and they had to have their faces covered with a cloth mask at all times. Prisoners were only referred to by their prison number, not their name. The result? Many of the prisoners went insane. Isn’t that fascinating. This isn’t knew knowledge, they knew the results of these policies. This podcast is 10 years old. Not new knowledge. I hope ya’ll don’t mind this add in.

Here’s the 30 minute podcast if you’d like.

And what were some of the consequences of the seizure of citizen’s rights during the plandemic? Well, obvious one is freedom of speech. Doctors that tried to speak out and let people know there was cheap, readily available treatment that could have saved lives were muzzled and silenced.

If only Dr. Fauxci had watched Little House on the Prairie. I mean it was common enough knowledge to be in a TV show in what? The 80s?

See freedom of speech, even if it doesn’t concern health is a privilege for some, not for all.

A man may be going to jail because he made Hillary Clintoon memes. One must not make fun of Demoncrat royalty, doncha know.

Hillary Clinton Memes Test Limits of First Amendment in Online Speech Trial

Who else doesn’t have freedom of the press or the right to speak out? Today News Africa reporter Simon Ateba who was shut down when he asked a news question in the White House press briefing. How dare he. Cringe Jean-Pierre shut him down but quick.

If you are a conservative group like the Stanford Law School’s chapter of the Federalist Society and you invite a federal judge to speak, the spoiled children who don’t allow opinions other than their own will shout him down. Then the snowflakes can take over the room, wait for their diversity, equity and inclusion (who really don’t include much of anyone) dean to come in an harangue an invited guest. These are law school students. Defiant Stanford DEI dean doubles down, BRAGS about harassment of federal judge. So help me, if I ever need a lawyer again I’m asking them where they went to school. If it’s Stanford? Forget it.

What kind of “free speech” do the leftist loons that run our schools of higher education allow?

‘Diversity Day’ Speaker at Public School Shocks Students With Anti-Israel Rhetoric

Oh that kind.

So what’s the result of a poor quality legal education?

So what is a Brady motion? If only Xiden’s box checking candidate had gone to school with Vinny, right? Seems Xiden’s most diverse ever nominees and cabinet have an under represented demographic. The Competent. His SCOTUS nominee is so stupid she doesn’t even know what a woman is, and she is one. Of course the left are trying to get rid of women now, just like they’ve been trying to get rid of masculine men for ages now. But I digress.

Now knowing what a Brady motion is, “they have to tell you”. I think we can begin to see that there must be many Stanford graduates already in the legal system.

And this “Judge” says he’s never dealt with a Brady motion. Wow. As all those poor political prisoners are being held and denied their rights.

So as long as we’re on the Justice/Injustice system, the two tiered justice system we are dealing with, how’s about that? Seems like there are two sets of rules.

Not only that, but apparently the FIB can’t count either. Researcher Alleges FBI Seriously Undercounts Armed Citizen Responses to Active Shootings, Real Number 3x Higher

It’s good to be a leftist.

The ATF as well has a two tiered justice system.

Guns are okay, for some people. Because some animals are more equal than others, right? National Pravda Radio, we’re financing them.

And the ATF isn’t even elected. Some are calling them on the actions they’ve taken on the stabilizer braces.

I think I’ve plenty of reasons to have trust issues. The last video I will leave you with is a reading by Dr. Tess Lawrie. Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice (by Margaret Anna Alice; Read by Dr. Tess Lawrie) at 4 minutes long, it’s worth every one of them. Dr. Lawrie is one of the heroes of the Covid wars.

If A Tree Falls In The Forest

2 Comments

You know the old saying, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or something like that…

If a right exists but it is ignored or not acknowledged, is it still a right?

This is a long clip from Tucker Carlson from a few days ago, but it all applies to the Second Amendment, and almost equally as important is how it is being respected in America’s judicial system.

Or not respected would be more accurate.

Here is more on the Arizona court case Tucker referred to, the one decided by an elected swamp dweller named Emilio Velasquez, the “judge” who isn’t even a lawyer. UPDATE: The Disturbing Details in Case of Illegal Alien Allegedly Killed by Arizona Rancher they also mention the illegal alien had been deported multiple times.

Tucker talked about how “Go Fund Me” a leftist social justice site that helped bail out anti-American activists from antifa and BLM to allow them to continue to burn down private property, public property and attack remote and disinterested parties. But absolutely will not allow funds to be raised for the elderly rancher who defended his family and property. Because….wait for it….violence. Leftist hypocrisy at it’s finest. They are the same piece of crap group that stole the money raised to help the Canadian truckers. They’re the left, they steal, that’s how they roll.

Tucker didn’t mention it, but there is another, more responsible, fund raising group out there, it’s called “Give Send Go”. They have several campaigns running right now by people trying to raise money to help the man. https://www.givesendgo.com/site/search?text=George+Alan+Kelly

I’m hoping family and neighbors are helping the poor wife out. That poor poor woman, my heart hurts for her. Perhaps since illegals aren’t an issue for the “Honorable Emilio G. Velasquez” 2160 N. Congress Drive Suite 2100 Nogales, AZ 85621, may I humbly suggest to Customs and Border Patrol I’ve found a couple of new places to park illegal aliens to be processed, the other is his house as the left has shown us that people hanging out around judge’s homes these days really isn’t a “deal”. I bet the Judge would be delighted to help process a few million illegals, maybe put them up for a few nights with his family, till their paperwork is processed.

He might want to consider adding an addition to his house…

Nicaragua has freed 222 political prisoners and sent them to the U.S.

The government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has released 222 political prisoners and put them on a flight to Washington, D.C., officials in both countries said Thursday.

My buddy in Nicaragua said basically they are emptying out the jails. The above report is from npr, so take it with a 50 lb block of salt, I imagine they are sending lots of other prisoners here who have no connection to opposing Ortega. But being npr, they wouldn’t speak about that.

Tip of the Stetson to my buddy Steve for the info.

A recent report from Michael Yon Heart Dump From the Frontlines speaks about the invasion force already in the US, and on it’s way courtesy of Biden and the Demoncrats.

This is an obvious invasion force. Most of them likely have no idea yet. As a former Green Beret, and having spent many years in many wars and conflicts, and an equal time with nose in history books — this all is amazingly clear.

My estimation: They will later be armed with phones. Many will be assembled in camps within USA. Most will be left to the wilds.

They will be indoctrinated to hate white folks — including Asians, and anyone else seen as ‘white’, such as blacks who are not wildly racist against whites. When Stalin did similar in Ukraine before and during the great famine, this phase of genocide was called “kulakisation.” They labeled people they wanted to exterminate as ‘kulaks.’ Jews will be familiar with the process. Historically speaking, this is common. In America, you are labeled racist.

These terms generally are fuzzy and made to velcro onto anyone for anything. People who were weaponized against kulaks, Jews, and so many others in history, are made to hate the target group. And they are armed and without rules. After they are ready and armed, their food will be cut off.

I doubt it’s just me that thinks Mr. Kelly in Arizona had darn good reason to shoot the many times deported illegal alien. And if the Biden crime regime had done their work, he’d be alive as he wouldn’t have been back in the U.S. I won’t even get into (at least in this column) what else is coming in. But I’ll just give one word, Haitians. The ones the Dominicans build walls against.

Meanwhile in Israel, with the election of more candidates from the right, the country might take a turn for the more logical, survivable pathway. Police Chief Rabbi: Rabbis should advise congregants to carry legal firearms on Shabbat

The Chief Rabbi of the Israel Police penned an open letter on Tuesday addressed to rabbis throughout Israel urging them to advise their congregants to carry legal and licensed firearms on Shabbat.

In his letter, Rabbi Rami Brachyahu said that this measure was necessary in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in which seven people were murdered outside of a synagogue where most did not carry arms because of the Shabbat..

5 suspects tied to Jerusalem synagogue massacre

Jerusalem terrorist’s mother, uncle, and three others arrested after deadly shooting suspected of being involved in the attack.

Deport them, to Jordan the day after they are convicted. They do not go home, they do not collect their $200 and they do not pass go. Their home is destroyed and their entire families (extended) are deported with them. Do this for a couple years, just give it a shot, then we’ll see how things are, shall we?

I think National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter mixed.

Ben Gvir after attack: I ordered Operation Defensive Shield 2 in eastern Jerusalem

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Friday afternoon said he had instructed the Commissioner of Israel Police and senior officials in the Jerusalem District to prepare for “Operation Defensive Shield 2 in eastern Jerusalem” starting on Sunday.

“The purpose of the operation is to fight and root out terrorism, to reach the terrorists’ homes and to stop terrorism before it comes to carry out attacks,” said a statement issued by Ben Gvir’s office.

The statement, which was published just before the start of Shabbat in Israel, followed the deadly terrorist attack in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem, in which two people were murdered and five were injured.

Not backing down: Ben-Gvir determined to launch operation in eastern Jerusalem

National Security Minister Itamar repeated his intentions on Saturday evening to launch a significant operation in eastern Jerusalem to quell terrorism.

“I am determined to launch ‘Operation Defensive Sheild 2’ in Jerusalem. To those officials who are speaking against me: the police have the authority to demolish illegal houses, arrest over 150 suspected terrorists, raid houses, stop the incitement in the mosques, detain those who owe taxes, and more. The security cabinet is important, and I will request additional things there, but governance is crucially important, and I will make sure it stays that way,” Ben-Gvir wrote on social media.

Ben Gvir reprimands police district commander after violent Jerusalem protest

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday evening summoned the commander of the Jerusalem District of the Israel Police to reprimand him in the wake of what he described as “the loss of control of the police in the capital city to a group of anarchists”, during a protest of left-wing activists led by the Crime Minister movement.

“The Jerusalem Police lost control over the anarchists. An incident in which burning tires were set on fire near the Prime Minister’s Residence, Highway 1 was blocked, and light rail traffic was blocked – these are all extremely serious incidents in which police and security forces were on the scene, but were explicitly instructed not to enforce the law and not to confront the rioters,” said Ben Gvir.

Sic ‘em Itamar!! The left is having hissy fits over Ben Gvir. I think I’m in love.

For too long decent men and women in law-enforcement, and yes I think there are some, have been told to yield the rights and safety of law-abiding citizens to the mob. The people just trying to get to work and home are made to suffer so the left can virtue signal, threaten and intimidate. The people paying taxes are made into a slave class. They finance the very government that turns against them, their safety and their rights.

What were those law enforcement officers standing against the wall thinking as elderly Mr. Kelly asks to be able to speak to his wife? Why are there so many of them in the room? Why aren’t they out rounding up illegals so the landowners don’t need to worry about the safety of themselves, their families and their livestock? Nope, those young men are safe inside a nice building watching a elderly man they failed who used his G-d given rights, his rights acknowledged by Arizona. His rights ignored by a piece of crap named Emilio Velasquez. But here’s the thing Emmy, I can call you Emmy right? Life has a way of making things right, sometimes, not always, but sometimes.

Our Parsha yesterday was Yitro, Exodus 18:1-20:23. Yitro is Jethro, Moshe’s father in law, who was a very learned man. There is a teaching that says when Pharaoh decided he wanted to thin out and kill off part of the Jews he was unsure of which course of action to take. Pfizer didn’t have a shot available yet, so he turned to his trusted advisers. Three of them actually. Balaam, Job, and Yitro. Balaam recommended genocide, said he could put in a call to Fauxci for him if Pharaoh liked? A very evil man. Job was silent, he remained silent in the face of evil. Yitro said “No only NO, but HELL NO!! This here is flat evil and I’m not having any part of it!” And he fled to Midian. Balaam is later killed in a war with Israel. Job, was punished for his silence with his many trials and tribulations later. Yitro later became Moshe’s father-in-law and was a very righteous man who’s search for G-d ended when he found the G-d of his son-in-law. Great Midrash (teaching) isn’t it??

Are you following this Emmy? Life has a way….

But Yitro was more than a man in search of the one true G-d in our history. Yitro had a huge impact on the future legal system. From the Second reading of the Parsha for last week:

13It came about on the next day that Moses sat down to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning until the evening.

14When Moses’ father in law saw what he was doing to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing to the people? Why do you sit by yourself, while all the people stand before you from morning till evening?”

15Moses said to his father in law, “For the people come to me to seek God.

16If any of them has a case, he comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make known the statutes of God and His teachings.”

17Moses’ father in law said to him, “The thing you are doing is not good.

18You will surely wear yourself out both you and these people who are with you for the matter is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.

19Now listen to me. I will advise you, and may the Lord be with you. [You] represent the people before God, and you shall bring the matters to God.

20And you shall admonish them concerning the statutes and the teachings, and you shall make known to them the way they shall go and the deed[s] they shall do.

21But you shall choose out of the entire nation men of substance, God fearers, men of truth, who hate monetary gain, and you shall appoint over them [Israel] leaders over thousands, leaders over hundreds, leaders over fifties, and leaders over tens.

22And they shall judge the people at all times, and it shall be that any major matter they shall bring to you, and they themselves shall judge every minor matter, thereby making it easier for you, and they shall bear [the burden] with you.

23If you do this thing, and the Lord commands you, you will be able to survive, and also, all this people will come upon their place in peace.”

G-d gave us a beautiful world, he gave a contract, that if followed, we could live in harmony with each other and he will dwell among us. The left hates that, they want the worship due to G-d and they want to push him as far out of his world as possible.

But these rights? They still come from G-d, they left may act as though they give and take them, but that’s not how it will end up. They can ignore our rights, they can act as though they don’t exist. But G-d gave them to us, their opinion does not nullify his gifts.

Even if I had a crystal ball, it would probably look more like a shaken snow globe right now, things are so crazy, but here, here is one thing I know. There are elements within the legal system in Israel that are starting to stand for the rule of law, there are elements of the legal system within America and I think the good people of both have about had their fill of being used and abused by a corrupt legal system. Emmy the non-lawyer is an elected official. I hope the people of Arizona can do better. I’d like to see Emmy removed from office, tomorrow. You know, in the Second reading above, God fearers, men of truth, who hate monetary gain, I’m very curious, who paid for Emmy’s campaign? Does Emmy have any other source of income? See, there is a reason Yitro said that. We already know Emmy isn’t worried about G-d. So, monetary gain?

But no matter what, corrupt legal system or no, rights come from G-d. אין עוד מלבדו

There is none but him.

DC One-Upping “Gun-Free” Zones

2 Comments

Apparently these aren’t working well enough in Washington, DC.

So now they’re going to…

Yep, “murder free zones.”

The court challenges should be fun, as some idiots decide this is an unconstitutional endorsement of Judeo-Christian beliefs; never mind that they’re going to be posted by a non-governmental non-profit group.

If signs actually do any good (suuurre…) I’d suggest something like this:

IF YOU TRY TO
MURDER
SOMEONE IT IS
LEGAL
FOR THEM TO
KILL
YOU FIRST
Maybe that would get someone to pause for a second or two. Perhaps. For those who can still read.

Regarding the Biblical text: I’m no linguist, but some folks better at ancient languages than I have told me that “Thou shalt not kill” is a mistranslation. Apparently it should read “Thou shalt not murder,” because G-d and the ancient Jews knew the difference between murder and justifiable homicide (self defense), and had separate terms for each.

I’ve always wondered since if that mistranslation was deliberate on the part of religious and secular authorities who wanted to blur the difference, to deter peasants and other downtrodden killing tax collectors and other authoritarian thugs.

Action, self defense

Oops. Bad Guys Are Slow Learners.

Seems some idiot tried robbing a convenience store in ruralish Georgia. It didn’t go well for him.

Georgia robbery suspect wearing panties on his face subdued by trio of armed customers: reports
Georgia police arrested a woman and a man wearing panties on his face on Monday after an attempted robbery at a gas station store was brought to a screeching halt by three armed customers, according to reports.

Customer sees what’s happening, and draws his gun. Another customer notices the action and goes to his vehicle to get his own. A third customer, pumping gas, sees it and grabs his gun to join the fun.

Robbery comes to screechin’ halt.

Last time I checked, something like 1 in 10 Georgians has a concealed carry license. Not 1 in 10 adults; 1 in 10 of every man, woman, and child. Now consider that Georgia is a constitutional carry state — not just “open carry” as that article says — and that licenses aren’t even required. (Back when I first moved to Georgia some thirty-odd years ago, maybe one-fourth to one-third of those I knew carried bothered with a license; imagine what the ratio must be like now that licenses are optional.)

And Elijay is a rural-to-small-town area. I’d expect that the percentage of people carrying is a little higher than the statewide average.

At some point, the smarter criminals are finally going to notice that their would-be targets tend to be well armed. Maybe they’ll learn to restrict their fun and games to the urban blights like Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah.

The others, less bright, will go extinct.

At the close of Hannukah, and other things

4 Comments

After reading the comments on the last column, and different things I’ve listened to, or read the last couple of days, there is one more column left for Hannukah 2022. Again, I have no explanation, it’s just there and I’m sharing it. I promise, this is the last one (I’m pretty sure because this was the last day of Hannukah).

Before the actual battles of Hannukah, which attempted to eradicate the Jewish presence there was the spiritual battle to eradicate the Jewish presence. Not by killing the people, which came later, but by killing Judaism. I probably should have put a trigger warning on this column, so consider this it. Not the first time I’ve grabbed the 3rd rail.

This is where I think we are now. In the part where “The World” tries to eliminate religion, and this time it’s the presence of G-d. I would maintain the world has always tried to eliminate the Jews because they were the ones that were tasked with bringing the knowledge of G-d into the world. As people we have free choice, free will. We can choose to pick the things of pleasure and short term gratification in the world, or we can choose to follow the laws of G-d and his plan for a beautiful world. It’s like looking at architecture plans to me, I don’t read them so I can’t see how they work to make a beautiful building until much of it is in built and in place. But the plans were laid it out all along. Yes, that deck off the 2nd floor bed room sounds like a great idea and like lots of fun, especially when the hot tub was added in, but if the original plans didn’t account for it and the support for it wasn’t there in the plans, it won’t play out well. The same with how choosing what seems like a pleasurable choice at the time, may have consequences. Be it three pieces of fudge truffle cheesecake or a third beer or the junk Hollyweird puts out. But if only good is offered or available, how is that free will? Our fight with our more carnal desires allows us to sharpen our spiritual ones.

The battle today is “The World” against traditional families. A girlfriend and I were texting the other day and she made a comment of something her grandma used to say; as the family goes, so goes the country. I think it takes about 1 second to see that Hollyweird and mainstream media have had the traditional (according to G-d’s plan) family under attack for years. We’ve never had such gender confusion in our children, we’ve not seen women discriminated against openly for years until the trans-woman became far more important that stock from the factory woman. For evidence I only need point to the man swimming as a woman Lea Thomas because he’s such a loser he couldn’t succeed as man so he chose and easier way. When women have showed up to protest against things like men in women’s changing rooms they’ve been physically attacked by trans women. And apparently that’s fine because there is no outrage. But their fight isn’t with me, it’s with G-d.

I became suspicious of the sudden switch of the media from covid covid covid death death death vax vax vax to Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine very early on, because it was following the same pattern. As I’ve mentioned more than once, the citizens of the Donbas voted to rejoin Russia with darn good reason, more than once they’ve voted like that. And while “The World” and the U.S. media simper on about rigged elections I think the coverage of the faux elections in Arizona and the resulting lawsuits should pretty much stamped paid to any credibility to that claim. They could care less about the honesty of elections. The Donbas voted with paper ballots into clear cubes so people could see what was put in. I realize counting is a question, but monitors on the ground have said it was run better than U.S. elections. I know, that doesn’t take much these days. So is a first grade raffle. Run by the students. We’re coming back to this shortly.

“A war with mother nature”: the winter storm which hits the United States recalls the “1977 blizzard”

For the moment 32 dead are to be deplored in 8 states and the authorities fear a heavier toll in the future.

Tens of thousands of Americans were without power this Christmas Eve weekend.

Rescuers fear that some may be trapped in their vehicle.

The Governor of New York State compared the climatic situation in which the country finds itself with that experienced during the devastating “Blizzard” of 1977. In her speech, Kathy Hochul called on her citizens to fight one more day against this cold mortal.

“We are at war.

It’s a war with mother nature,” insisted the Governor.

Con Edison, which serves the New York City metropolitan area, asked its 1.1 million natural gas, 3.5 million electric, and other customers in New York City to conserve power. Temperatures in the Big Apple plunged to about 15 degrees F overnight on Saturday and Sunday morning.

So, how are those windmills and solar panels from China that the Biden crime regime are trying to force us into working out? Oh, it says, 32 dead, so far. I’m truly fearful for working families, commuters, the elderly and people on fixed income. And obviously, don’t travel in bad weather without extra warm gear in the car.

People freezing to death in their cars. NEVER drive in places like this without trunk gear that includes serious wool from head to toe, and serious sleeping bags in the trunk. For every person we read about who died, a lot more will have lost body-parts to frostbite. Slowly freezing to death is one of the worst ways to go.

War with Mother Nature? I’ll pass. Live with Mother Nature — get 100% wool, and down sleeping bags if you can afford. The best warm-gear is still made by Mother Nature and cannot be mass produced so costs a little more, but is worth it.~~ Michael Yon

The other thing that I think is going to come into play as well as the frigid weather, and decreased fuel availability and purposefully damaged supply chain (Pete Butt-edge-edge’s racist highways are being destroyed along with his other policies) that will lead to a shortage of needed medicine, fuel and food, is people’s immune systems.

The more you’ve been injected, the weaker your immune system is. But that’s not the only threat our specie faces from this military project called the experimental gene therapy injections.

VAERS Shows a 4070% Increase in Miscarriages and Stillbirths Since mRNA Roll-out.

As the Greek-Syrian empire forbid the teaching of Judaism, circumcision and observance of Shabbat and festivals so it couldn’t be passed on to the children of the next generation, today’s Greek-Syrians are preventing children. Another way of winning the war without firing a shot, just injecting one. It’s “safe and effective”. Their lord and savior Fauxci says so.

Censorship goes way back

Which brings me to my next point. Religion. As we discussed in my last column, there are woke in every brand of religion, and we discussed Judaism’s. But Christianity has their woke pastors as well. Someone sent me a meme of a “Woke Pastor” costume for halloween with white skinny jeans, I think a gold chain and maybe some CDs and a Starbucks cup with a picture of some kind of goddess on the front. I don’t think I saved the meme though. In the war for Independence, it was the Black Robe regiment that helped win the war. This is well worth listening to at about 10 minutes long.

Many of our nation’s laws came from G-d’s law, and woke spiritual leaders of every brand ignore and dismiss that. How are they fit to lead and teach? Our rights come from G-d, the politicians are to follow the Constitution which enumerates them and is to protect them, it doesn’t bestow them. G-d did. How are there to be good, healthy and moral families when the spiritual leaders as well as elected ones let us down and in fact attempt to deceive?

So back to Ukraine and Russia. My heart hurts for the Ukrainian people. They have been betrayed in the deepest sense of the word by so many.

Ukraine has been a money laundering operation for demoncrats and corrupt republican politicians for years. The CIA arranged regime change in Ukraine under Barry Sotero, and the U.S. has bio-weapons labs there that are funded by taxpayer dollars while they most assuredly do not want taxpayers to know what is going on in them. Zelensky is locking up political opponents, shutting down news media critical of him, shutting down and banning churches and their leaders and seizing their properties and demoncrats and worthless republicans jump for joy and call this democracy. Tells you about their mindset. All done with out tax money no less. The politicians of all nations and brands are more than willing to fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood.

I find I often get news that is pertinent from other countries rather than American sources, so these next couple of sound clips come from Israel.

First, Zelenksy doesn’t take this “war” seriously. Oh yes, he takes the money, seriously, he takes lots and lots of American taxpayer dollars shelled out by human pieces of excrement like the murder turtle, Roy Blunt and Jerry Moron. Money taxpayers won’t have to pay for heat, food, or fuel. Money we won’t be spending on our border, because we are spending in Ukraine. Money we don’t have to pay our National Guard soldiers, because we are giving it to Ukraine. This war time situation is so serious, that Zelensky did an episode of Letterman, in Ukraine. But I’ll let you listen to part of this episode of “Lighten Up”. I’m trying to start it at 18:50 seconds into the show. The relevant part only goes to about 23:30, so not that long. But worth listening to their take.

So, how’s Ukraine handling their war? And this is just till November of last year.

Chronicle of undeclared Ukrainian aggression against NATO.

1. March 2 – Ukrainian S-300 air defense system destroyed a Romanian MiG-21 fighter. The pilot is dead.

2. March 2 – Ukrainian air defense shot down a Romanian military transport helicopter Mi-8, which flew out to look for a MiG-21 fighter shot down by Ukraine.

3. March 3 – Estonian bulk carrier Helt was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Odessa. Four people are missing.

4. March 10 – Ukrainian UAV Tu-141 “Swift” attacked Zagreb. Luckily, no one died.

5. March 13 – Ukrainian Volkssturm shot down the car of an American journalist from the New York Times, Brent Reno, in the Irpen region, who, according to Iranian intelligence services, worked as a CIA officer in Iraq.

6. September 9 – a Romanian minesweeper was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine near Constanta. Luckily, there were no fatalities.

7. November 9 – A Turkish boat was blown up by a Ukrainian naval mine off the coast of Turkey. Luckily, no one died.

8. November 15 – The Ukrainian S-300 air defense system attacked Poland, destroying 2 Polish citizens and a tractor trailer.

Under the guise of a war with Russia, Ukraine is waging a hybrid war against NATO!

Which bring us to my distrust of the attacks on Russia and Putin early on. For one, I’ve heard from more than one person that Putin has been decent (the comment good was used a couple of time) for the Jews. I have no personal knowledge, so that’s hearsay, but it’s hearsay from people that personally know. Human piece of excrement Lindsey Graham came flat out and said the war in Ukraine is about deposing Putin and regime change in Russia. No mention of what happens when someone else, and possibly less stable than Putin gains control of all those nukes.

You know, it’s fascinating. The Xiden regime is so worried about Israel electing what is suppose to be a right wing government. They’ve even tried to forbid certain Israeli politicians (whom I happen to like) from serving in the government. I guess they are afraid they might allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. Something which the courts have said is legal. The Xiden regime claims they are afraid Jews praying where the Holy Temple once stood, where G-d calls us to pray, will start a war. But the Xiden regime has no problem poking that big furry nuclear clad Russian bear directly by attacks on their pipeline or indirectly through their CIA puppet Zelensky.

But why? Why these attacks on Russia? Again, another Israeli podcast. This one covers some Hanukkah history you may (or not) have heard before, and of course it’s fascinating. But I especially think one of the comments made in the podcast have the answer to my question. It involves Christianity more than Judaism really, and Russia.

I’m trying to start this at 42:46 into the show.

This actually makes sense in a way to me. There has to be another reason other than “Putin bad”. Look, there’s lots of bad rulers out there. I’m sure many of them are supported by U.S. and put in place by the FIB and the CIA. But apparently, Russia is Christian, at least more so than many other nations. Is this what’s behind “The World” turning against Russia? We are in the spiritual battle of Hanukkah where the general shows up in Modi’in and demands they sacrifice an unclean animal on their alter. The spiritual battle before Mattias picks up his sword and says “Oh HELLinized NO”. The Judah battle came after.

REBEL! Fight back! Have strong, healthy loving families. Raise them with the principles of your faith, raise them to understand, not just recite strong conservative values. Think twice before you send them off to the communist creation centers known as college and university. Observe and love your family Shabbat/Sabbath. Pigpen, I have thought much about your comments on my last column. My idea of marriage was always a partnership. Someone with whom you had common goals, beliefs and principles, a moral compass if you will. Someone who picks up your weak points and you shore up theirs. Someone who can (though I’m sure it doesn’t always work out this way) be a safe port in the storm called life. Someone you want at your back. Your message was so beautiful, inspiring and clear. May G-d bless you and your family, even more. The dating advice my cousin gave me was “Pick someone you want at your back during the zombie apocalypse.” He said after seeing his wife at the range, he was convinced he had chosen well. Actually his advice isn’t far off or bad.

In these times, when we’ve been betrayed by so many institutions that should have had our backs, I just think about this meme I got this morning. A tip of my Stetson to Mike.

When the government says you don’t need a gun….

Y.B., you’re more than welcome, it is my honor and pleasure. Just know that there will never be enough words or emotion to express the gratitude I have for you and your family.

Hannukah Times

4 Comments

We are living in Hannukah times. Today in school rather than learning actual American history, children are taught the 1619 nonsense, or anything bad about America, whether true or not that the woke teacher decides to shove down their gullets. Merrick Garland’s son-in-law makes his money selling critical race theory books to schools. I guess this would explain why parents who don’t want their children being taught they will never succeed in life because of their skin color are labeled terrorists. Math? Nope that’s too hard for blacks and Hispanics so standards are lowered so it will make rotten teachers look acceptable. Science? Trust the science? HAHAHAHAHAHA, no one is ever believing that old canard again or probably trusting much in the way of the medical industrial complex or the pharmaceutical industry again either. Nor should they. One commercial on TV is for a pill, five minutes later it’s for a lawyer advertising to represent you if you’ve been harmed by it. “Safe and Effective” is destined to be a punch line on late night TV if there are ever comedy shows on it again some day. I’m guessing patriotism in school these days is as dead as the trust level in the federal government after the #TwitterFiles stories have come out. Not to mention the CIA involvement in the JFK assassination. Our bodies and our children’s bodies no longer belong to us or the parents, according to the government of some countries. With the vaxx or be fired, vaxx or no organ transplant it’s been made clear we’ve been sold out to the medical industrial complex. And tragically in addition to the corrupt FDA and CDC pushing the death dart on innocent people including children it was clear that those agencies have been corrupted and captured beyond repair. Or belief. The only people that believe them are getting their 7th booster and still wearing 3 masks. And now the blood supply. Twice recently parents very reasonably asked for their infants to be given safe unvaxxed blood during surgery. Both parents lined up safe, unvaxxed compatible blood donations for their infants. In New Zealand; New Zealand government tries to seize guardianship of baby after parents demand unvaccinated blood for surgery they did seize the baby and did the surgery. Despite the parents having 20 donors lined up, the hospital refused to use them. They haven’t told the parents if they used contaminated blood or clean but so far the baby is still alive. In America it didn’t turn out so well for the baby. HOSPITAL HOMICIDE: Newborn baby DIES from “huge blood clots” following pre-surgery transfusion of covid vaccine-tainted blood This one the parents also had clean blood that had been donated for the baby, following all the hospital rules. They hospital “couldn’t find it”, so they gave the baby contaminated blood. And then proceed to delete records. Some stories I’ve seen said they’ve upped the ante saying they didn’t treat him.

Baby Alex was born with a 95 percent survivable congenital heart defect as well as anemia, which required a blood transfusion. Since a close friend of the family had previously died after getting injected for the Fauci Flu, Alex’s parents specifically asked for clean blood to go into his body.

A member of the family’s church who is both unvaccinated and a blood type match donated the blood to Sacred Heart, which agreed to use it in the transfusion. However, when it came time to do the procedure, the hospital claims it “lost” the pure blood sample, after which staff members proceeded to give Baby Alex blood from the general pool.

The baby developed a blood clot which didn’t respond to anti-coagulant therapy. If you’ve seen some of those blood clots they fish out of people that’s kind of understandable. They aren’t really blood. Unvaccinated Blood Is Now in Very High Demand

A growing number of people in need of blood transfusions are requesting blood that comes from people who haven’t received COVID-19 shots

Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole compared the current unknowns regarding “vaccinated blood” with HIV-tainted blood that was used for transfusions in the 1980s

Directed donations and autologous donations, or self-donation, are options for receiving blood free of mRNA, but in both cases you’ll need your doctor to submit a Red Cross Special Collections Order form

A “Safe Blood” donation campaign has also been formed to match blood donors and recipients who have not had COVID-19 shots

It’s unknown whether blood donated by people who’ve received mRNA COVID-19 shots poses a risk to those who receive it. A growing number of people aren’t willing to take any chances, however, and are requesting blood that comes from unvaccinated patients.

In the leftist media and schools they’re doing their best to confuse children as to their gender, and in kindergarden and grade schools children are being sexually groomed. Guess that explains why a bunch of kids can’t read now. Which got time to learn about reading when there’s a drag queen in class to hand out brownies and teach the tiny tots about butt plugs?

If they can rip every shred of certainty out of the kids, they will be so much easier to manipulate because they have nothing to hold on to as true, as certain, as real. They will become as easy to manipulate as your average college student.

In the leftist world

So how does this hot mess stack up against Hannukah times? Well, in 174 BCE (3586), Antiochus IV ruled the region. He wanted to be called Epiphanes, meaning “the gods’ beloved”. We called him Epimanes “madman”, He was harsh, cruel corrupt and did nothing for the land of Israel or the people there. Ok, lining up so far as leadership I’d say. Israel was ruled by the Syrian-Greek style which meant Judaism was pretty much outlawed. What weren’t we allowed to observe? Jewish worship was forbidden, and the scrolls of the Law were confiscated and burned. Sabbath rest, circumcision and the dietary laws were prohibited under penalty of death. Many brave Jews refused, preferring death. Meanwhile the Hellenized (assimilated) Jews were peachy fine with all this and were on board with getting rid of such outdated “customs”. Obviously they must not have considered the word of G-d to be taken seriously, right? So parents had no control over how their children were raised. No Jewish education, no circumcision, no word on tattoos or gender reassignment that I could find. This gave rise to the attempt to secretly teach some of Judaism and Torah using the Dreidel or Sevivon. What about control over our own bodies. Yeah, not always so much. Part of the start of the Maccabean war was sparked by Hannah, the sister of the brothers. Seems the custom of the time was when a woman (or young girl) married, she had to spend her wedding night with a Greek governor, because they couldn’t get women to sleep with them any other way I guess. Actually this last link talks about each of the five brothers. Only Judah was Maccabee.

The law at the time required every Jewish woman to spend her first night as a married woman with the Greek governor. This decree went on for a while, causing many women to either not marry or to endure this horrible violation. On Chanah’s wedding night, she spiritedly persuaded her brothers to stand up for justice and to rid themselves of the depraved governor.38

The Maccabees resolved to take on the Greeks, stormed the governor’s palace, killed him and wreaked havoc in his camp. This incident served as another spark that catapulted the already unsteady military situation into a full-on war

Yep, bodies not our own and the Greek version of various and sundry politicians and denizens of Hollyweird.

No worship or Shabbat? Hello Covid lock-downs.

Yeah, I’d say we’re there. I could come up with plenty more ways but I want to touch on a couple of other things.

Judah. Maccabee, the meaning has a few possibilities. Either Hammer, for his ferocity in battle or his preferred weapon. Or as an acronym for Mi kamokha ba’elim Adonai, “Who among the gods is like you, O Adonai?” Which was the battle cry. The family was called Hasmonean. The link above gives each of the other sons surnames, even though they all became know as the Maccabees.

This kerfluffle started when the army of Antiochus IV came to Modi’in to try to force the group there to sacrifice to an idol. Mattias the priest would not betray G-d. He said “Not only NO, but HELLenized NO”! A Hellenized (assimilated ADL type Jew) stepped forward and said “Ah, it’s no big deal, I’ll do it”. Then Mattias said “The HELLenized you say!! Over your dead body!” And he killed him. I love a happy ending. The family realized the ATF and the IRS Seleucid army was fixin to descend on them and they took to the hills. Those lads knew how to fight a guerrilla war, until enough had joined them to fight battles head on.

Which brings me to another one of my what seems to have become Hannukah traditions. Posting Judah Maccabee’s speech.

1 Maccabees Chapter 3

10 Then Apollonius* gathered together the Gentiles, along with a large army from Samaria, to fight against Israel.

11 When Judas learned of it, he went out to meet him and struck and killed him. Many fell wounded, and the rest fled.

12 They took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius and fought with it the rest of his life.

13 But Seron, commander of the Syrian army, heard that Judas had mustered an assembly of faithful men ready for war.

14 So he said, “I will make a name for myself and win honor in the kingdom. I will wage war against Judas and his followers, who have despised the king’s command.”

15 And again a large company of renegades advanced with him to help him take revenge on the Israelites.

16 When he reached the ascent of Beth-horon,* Judas went out to meet him with a few men.

17 But when they saw the army coming against them, they said to Judas: “How can we, few as we are, fight such a strong host as this? Besides, we are weak since we have not eaten today.”

18 But Judas said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;

19 for victory in war does not depend upon the size of the army, but on strength that comes from Heaven.

20 With great presumption and lawlessness they come against us to destroy us and our wives and children and to despoil us;

21 but we are fighting for our lives and our laws.

22 He* will crush them before us; so do not fear them.”

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly upon Seron and his army, who were crushed before him.

24 He pursued Seron down the descent of Beth-horon into the plain. About eight hundred* of their men fell, and the rest fled to the land of the Philistines.

Hannukah refers to dedication, as in after the Hasmonean army captured The Temple, it was in shambles and profaned having had pigs sacrificed on the alter. They set about restoring and rededicating it. Which brings me to miracles, one of my favorite subjects.

There are several miracles actually. They found a small jar of oil, enough for one night. There is a tradition that is what Jacob went back across the river to fetch when he and his family left Laban’s fine company and hospitality. I find that miraculous. It was still in the Temple with the seal of the High Priest. That’s pretty miraculous too. Enough oil for 1 night lasted for 8 nights, the amount of time to make a new batch of kosher oil for the Menorah. That’s miraculous, 7 of them as there was enough for 1 night to start with. But there is still an 8th miracle in there. Rather than saying “Well nuts, lighting for one night isn’t going to do anything. We should hang on to this, we don’t want to light for just one night and then have to wait 7 more”. The miracle was even though it seemed pointless, even though it seemed like there was no purpose in doing it, they went ahead and could not bear to delay putting off the Mitzvah of lighting the Menorah. They couldn’t wait to begin to shed light to drive away the darkness. And that’s how I think I should be. While I may not be able to right situations, or fix everything, I must do what I can to kindle my flame and drive out the darkness I can. Even though sometimes it seems like that is beyond me, with his help, it’s not. It’s why I’m here. It’s why we all are here in the place, at this time. Apologies Esther. We aren’t called upon the change THE WORLD, we are called upon to change ourselves and the world around us, in whatever ways G-d puts to us. Look at the impact one man, Elon Musk is having. Is he a certified good guy? As far as free speech he is. The flow of information is going to have an impact I believe.

And lastly I will share a deep secret with you I learned today from my Rabbi; why do we eat all those fried foods at Hannukah? Sufganyiot and Latkes? Well, in contrast to the ideal of outward beauty held by the Greeks and Syrians, Judaism emphasizes truth and moral purity, as commanded by G‑d in the holy Torah. The Jewish people could never give up their faith in G‑d and accept the idol-worship of the Syrians. The Greeks were all about the body, naked exercise at the gym, worshiping the physical and the spiritual was ignored.

The Jews rebelled and said “NO WAY, are we going to be like that! Pass me the sour cream for my latke please and I’ll have the lemon sufganiyah!”

Dreidel Dog, Moshe the Mensch on a Bench and the Zebra from Zion. Brad’s Hannukiah in the background
Because I can never see this enough.

I’ve added the Zebra from Zion to my Moshe the Mensch on a bench and Dreidel dog this year. Yes, I think I’m done. The Hannukiah in the back ground was Brad’s. I treasure it every day, and bless Jo Ann for giving it to me but I especially treasure it this time of year. It is the most amazing Hannukiah I’ve ever seen.

It’s about spreading the light, no matter how little oil it feels like we have.

First night of Hannukah is tomorrow night.

חג חנוכה שמח

Happy Hannukah!
