This is now. When you’re a federal bureaucrat, consistency doesn’t matter if you want to screw people over.
On September 27, 2022, the ATF issued an open letter explaining the unfinished frame/receiver rule:
As stated in Final Rule 2021-05F and the regulatory text, a partially complete AR-type receiver with no indexing or machining of any kind performed in the area of the fire control cavity is not classified as a “frame or receiver” or “firearm” provided that it is not sold, distributed, or marketed with any associated templates, jigs, molds, equipment, tools, instructions, or guides, such as within a receiver parts kit.
And people rejoiced, because it appeared that the jackbooted thugs might be making intermittent radio contact with reality.
Nope. A mere three months later, we have their newopen letter explaining the unfinished frame/receiver rule:
Applying the regulatory text of Final Rule 2021-05F, partially complete Polymer80, Lone Wolf, and similar striker-fired semiautomatic pistol frames, including, but not limited to, those sold within parts kits, have reached a stage of manufacture where they “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional frame. This definition of “readily” applies to each and every classification of a partially complete frame or receiver under this Rule, whether sold alone or as part of a kit. Therefore, even without any associated templates, jigs, molds, equipment, tools, instructions, guides, or marketing materials, these partially complete pistol frames are “frames” and also “firearms” as defined in the GCA and its implementing regulations,
It’s official: inanimate blocks of metal or plastic, still incapable of accepting components that could make them functional firearms — much less capable of actual firing — are magically firearms in the eyes of blithering , bumbling bureaucrats who’ve usurped the power of Congress to legislate.
In light of BRUEN,the lawsuits over this should be alternatingly infuriating and amusing.

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.
And now Americans struggle to heat and eat and survive in the global warming ice freezer.
Princess Hokum thinks she is very powerful indeed.
Bob F., I’m trying to just put quotes in italics instead of labeling them as quotes, maybe the font won’t go grey.
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.
A number of U.S. utility companies called on customers to conserve electricity due to frigid weather on Saturday and Sunday.
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.
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.
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.
Sorry folks, I don’t know what’s come over me, but it just seems like there are tons of thoughts to share. Must be the candles. So, here goes tonight’s; marriage, children and the continuation of Judaism. Although I also maintain that what I have to say about the continuation of Judaism also applies equally to the continuation of our country or even conservatism. After this I’ll probably knock it off.
What set me off this time? Shimshon and I watched Fiddler on the Roof the other night. I hadn’t seen it for a few years, and still remember the first time I ever saw it. I was of course, much younger than. The first time I ever saw it, I couldn’t understand Tevye being so hard with his daughters. How could he be so stiff as to deny them the chance to marry who they wished. They wanted to marry for love, as I’m sure everyone does desire to have love in their marriage. But I thought wow, I’m glad those days are gone. And in the end, the girls got to marry who they chose. However, I’m old now, and as my Dad promised when I was young, I begin to see things differently, it’s as though the lens of life shifts a bit. It brings other things into focus, while dimming others. I was texting with a girlfriend a few days ago and we talked about it. Here’s the conclusions I reached during our conversation.
Thinking about Fiddler on the roof today after Menorah lighting last night and have a very different perspective than when I first saw it years ago or even the last time I watched it here about 4 or 5 years ago.
Back then of course my sympathies were with the daughters. How could Tevye be so rigid?
The oldest married an observant Jew, just poor and they continued the Jewish line. Judaism will continue through them.
The middle married a non-observant who’s religion is communism and revolution. They will have children who join Peace Now where female Rabbis use Jewish prayers to publicly pray for the souls of the arabs killed by the IDF in the act of trying to murder Jews.
The youngest? She got married in a Christian church.. She and Fyedka will have children that will work for the ADL and anti-Jewish organization or will end up like Kamel-toe’s husband. Jewish in name but in observance no.
I judge none of the 3. We all want to marry for love. Everyone dreams of that. But I do have a much deeper understanding of Tevye.
Now this is a good night to talk about it, because it’s the 5th night of Hannukah. This is an especially propitious time for single who want to get married and those that are so inclined to pray for them to find their soul mate. If you want more information about this, here is one of my favorite Rabbis, Rabbi Alon Anava.
Ok, back to our regularly scheduled message.
The abomination called the omnibus bill passed. Full List: How Senators Voted on the $1.8 Trillion Omnibus Package. What is in it? It’s over 4,000 pages. What with time spent trying to impress a comedian who showed up in a jogging outfit demanding money, who had time to read it? Probably no one voting for it. But Zero Hedge is able to clue you in. The short summation, it will fund more tyranny to be exerted on law-abiding American citizens. And it will give plenty of money to the tyrants to do just that. Anything about securing our border from the current invasion? Nope, not really. But Ukraine’s of course. So while Zelenksy is locking up opposing political parties, locking up religious leaders and seizing their buildings, we are paying for that because it’s regime change in Russia, full steam ahead. Many of them have openly said that. I’ve really got to see if Vlad will text me how long we’ve got before we’ve pushed him past this red line, because unlike Barry Sotero with his red lines, Vlad doesn’t seem to ignore them. What is in all this mess for U.S.? The average American citizen? More tyranny tied up with a nice bow by the Murder Turtle. A fair amount of this will also include medical tyranny, which seems to be the most effective means they’ve found thanks to the help from a mainstream media more dishonest than Pravda. I’ve long felt the plandemic was part of the game to bring America to heel. There was too much off about how it was being handled.
America is being taken down from the inside. A huge part of it is the education of our children, and for some, children that have left the path they were raised to follow. How many poor parents these days tried to pass on conservative beliefs, a sense of right and wrong, justice, good and nobility only to watch their child run off to Moscow to preach communism? Ok, that bit comes from the movie. They don’t understand, like Perchik that things that sound just great can camouflage absolute atrocities. Will Hodel and Perchik have children to grow up and embrace the faith of her parents in time, after he’s out of Sibera? Maybe, but I doubt is. He worships revolution far more than G-d it seems. So I’m sticking with my original assessment. Only Tzeitel, the oldest daughter and her husband are likely to pass down Judaism.
I read something years ago, more than I care to remember called Sundown At Coffin Rock. I didn’t know if it would still be on the internet or not. It’s probably a 3-5 minute read and takes place in what I’m guessing is the not too distant future. It’s about how this current crop of children will treat freedom and the ability to defend it. Like I said, it’s stuck with me for years. I’m afraid that many of the youth coming up today will not only be fine with the changes the omnibus abomination will bring, but will embrace and try to further them. Because that’s how they’ve been indoctrinated. The one good thing I can think of that the covid scam has done is opened many parents eyes to the the public education system. Wide open.
But for this 5th night of Hannukah, I have good to share as well. Because there can’t be hardly anything cuter, here is my little boy wearing his Hannukah outfit this year.
Cute is cute.
And then I have a very freedom minded Hannukah song from Rabbi Michoel Green. It’s a very catchy tune, I like it!
And the despicable NY Times with it’s stellar record of printing all the news that’s fit to print seems to have an odd idea of what is fit to print. One that I suspect honest, decent Americans might differ with.
For instance, here’s what they choose to ignore. Back before Ukraine was “cool”. I guess they didn’t know how handy money laundering for demoncrats was yet.
So what does the NY Times see fit to print? Ahh, a Hannukah present!
A Hannukah crossword from the slimes
I’m still waiting for the ADL to explain why this isn’t anti-semitic and tell people we’re being ridiculous. And even if it is anti-semitic it’s Donald Trump’s fault.
But you know what? This is from a public Hannukiah lighting tonight. The Hannukiah has 9 branches, one for each of the 8 nights, plus the shamash, the servant candle used to light the others. The Menorah in The Temple had 7 branches.
The Rabbi opening the ceremony
Rabbi gives a short talk to open up
This is the Mayor Lighting the servant (shamash) candle. Two other candles are because it’s the second night of Hannukah.
The Mayor lights it up!
Then the Fire Department began to drop little Hannukiahs on parachutes! Is this cool or what?
Look at those adorable little parachutes!
Then they commenced with the gelt drop! Gelt are chocolate coins, they can be used to play sevivon/dreidel when you gamble. Look to the left side of the picture, got them mid-flight!
Here comes the geltChocolate!
So you know what NY Times? Our G-d stepped in and with his mighty arm gave the Maccabees victory, Judaism survived. We’re still here, so stuff it!
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 backgroundBecause 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.
TZP recently had a visit from a troll. “Allan” claimed that Congress has the power to impose whatever gun control it wants via Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, because it has the “power to regulate the “Militia”.”
If that’s all there was to it, I would — and did — note that his reading of the Constitution was incomplete, that Congress only has that power over “such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” Congress gets to regulate only those called up for federal service; something that hasn’t happened lately.
However, “Allan” also chose to denigrate Americans as “nuts, “fans”, and “paranoid yokels.” In addition to my reply, he earned a flag for future moderation. Sadly, that flag was needed. He came back.
…to dismiss the limitation of regulating only those called up as a mere “red herring,” and insist Congress can “regulate” all the militia all the time, called up or not.
Organizing, arming, disciplining, governing: ‘Tis the stuff of top down, centralized regulation.
Spoken like a true authoritarian statist thug. But that’s not how the American constitutional republic is supposed to work. Limited powers were delegated to the federal (“central”) government, with the rest retained by the individual people and states. The people then decide who goes to the federal government. And once there, even those delegated powers are constrained by the Constitution (most notably, see Amendments Nine and Ten).
We could have agreed to politely disagree, but “Allan” couldn’t leave it at that. He declared that somehow Article VII defining when ratification occurs invalidates the Constitution… because it…
pretends to tell you all about an important area of law before it has become law, so A7 doesn’t even belong in the document.
I wonder if “Allan” has ever signed so much as a rental contract, and noticed that effective dates were included on the paper before he even signed it. Or if he’s read a bill in Congress that includes an effective date
But this brings us to just why “Allan” was flagged for moderation.
If a sustained fresh breeze of these self-evident truths were to blow through the USA’s law schools, it would set in motion a windmill of genuine, grinding change needed to rid the Earth of this dangerous abomination. Signs are good at places like Yale that students’ minds are becoming prepared for that breeze. When it comes, you may know that the USA has only a few more generations of aggression left in her before her death and decomposition.
That sound remarkably like someone advocating for overthrowing the US government and Constitution. Fortunately, the Constitution — flawed as it is, it’s what we have to work with — has an enforcement mechanism.
The Second Amendment. “Allan’s” army of Yalie lawyers might discover that a hundred million armed Americans object to their destruction.
That would be enough to get “Allan” blacklisted here. But he decided to make sure of it.
And, yes, it’s fair to describe many Americans as fans, nuts, and yokels. Plunderers, bullies, liars, ideologues, massacre specialists, and bigots, too. So when you see “USA”, just know that A stands for the holes at the end of Americans’ alimentary canals, esp. when found on the bodies of lawyers and their most lucrative clients.
Good riddance, “Allan.”

You’ve probably heard that the Gropin’ Joe Xiden administration just freed Viktor “Merchant of Death” Bout in exchange for Russia releasing a drug-using basketball player who appears to hate — or at least seriously disrespect — America. PJ Media shares some history of Bout’s activities that landed him in prison.
The guy would illegally sell anything to anyone, and yes, it appears to have gotten Americans killed. Thus, the “Death” part of the monicker.
This sums up the situation succinctly and clearly.
For us Americans, Biden likes background checks (preferably universal), restrictions of sales and manufacture of guns, bans on trafficking, and making as many honest people into prohibited persons as possible.
But suddenly that falls by the wayside when he can score points with POC/LBTQXYZLMNOP#/feminists voting bloc.
“I never want to hear the words ‘Gun Control’ come from Biden’s mouth again after this one.”

This proposed law would create a new NICS database of people prohibited from obtaining firearms. Not criminals, or those adjudicated mentally ill; it’s to be a database of those stupid enough to voluntarily surrender their 2A rights. OK, perhaps those crazy enough to beg Daddy Government to protect them from themselves should not have guns. But you won’t see me “volunteering” for this. More on that point in a moment.
First off, the bill’s name — Voluntary Firearm Purchase Delay — is an outright lie.
When an FFL makes the NICS call, and the feds find your name on this list, the dealer is not told to delay the purchase. There’s no waiting period. It’s an outright denial just as if you were a convicted felon; the dealer is to be told that it would be unlawful to transfer a gun to you. Which is probably exactly what the dealer is going to assume (and might even call the cops on you).
And it would be unlawful, because this bill amends 18 U.S. Code § 922(d) to add voluntary idiots to the list of prohibited persons.
Personally, if anyone had asked for my input — and persuaded me that any such law was necessary (ha!) — I’d have gone a different route: Instead of adding suckers to the prohibited list and issuing denials, the dealer would simply be told that the would-be buyer requested that he not be allowed to buy a gun. Then it would be up to the FFL to decide, with specific language exempting them from any liability for not violating the buyer’s 2A rights.
The next issue is how one would get into that database. There are two ways.
First, fools can present a gov-issued photo ID in person (“where” isn’t explained), and give up their rights.
Secondly, someone can email a copy of a driver license along with a letter from a mental health professional that includes the “name and license number of the professional and the name and date of birth of the individual.”
Maybe I’ve got a couple of ‘noids showing, but…
Who has a copy of your driver license? Did the bank make a copy when you opened your account? Did some online or brick store make a copy when you bought an age restricted product? Or maybe an employer (or potential employer) wanted a copy to comply with E-Verify. I’ve done all of the above.
Just imagine someone with a copy and a grudge… maybe against you, maybe the 2A in general. They’ve got your name and date of birth. But that darned mental health pro’s name and license number…
I did one single web search, taking less than 30 seconds, that gave me the name, address, and license number of a random clinical psychologist. Problem solved. Interesting what you can find online; it’s probably good that I try to be an honorable person.
Another interesting point: When you — or some less than honorable scumbag — requests that you become a prohibited person, you/him can include up to five email addresses to be notified if you do attempt to buy a gun, or try to get off the naughty list. Maybe even “registry@atf.gov.”
Getting off said naughty list sounds simple enough. You just make the request — with the same documentation that got you on it — and the feds are supposed to remove you.
Three weeks after they acknowledge receiving your request. Maybe that is the “delay” they meant.
Or you can look up a mental health pro as above, and fake the letter. That’s supposedly going to get you out of the database in 24 hours. Lemme bookmark that psychologist I found…
Frankly the only goodnot as horrible part of this is that database victims are only prohibited persons under 18 U.S. Code § 922(d), not section (g). So you won’t instantly make yourself (or someone else) a criminal simply for currently possessing firearms. Unless they tack on an amendment.
Now for the bad news. I think this garbage has a fair chance of passing. H.R.8361 had two original sponsors; one a rabid Dim-wit as you should have expected, and one Repugnantcan. As you also you should have expected. Reps tend to like infringements for “law ‘n order” and this is only “voluntary.” If the Dims can move this to the floor and force a vote this session, before the new Rep bare majority takes over, it’ll go to the Senate, where…
“law ‘n order” and this is only “voluntary.” I think they’ll get the votes.
And then what other rights will they look at “voluntarily” criminalizing?

I heard something just fascinating today on a radio show, I have a tiny suspicion that you might not hear much about it on the mainstream media #FakeNews.
Four brothers in Utah have filed a suit with the Supreme Court. Yes, that one. The case involves the 2020 election. They watched the 2020 election apparently with dismay, so many oddities. Then if I recall correctly Ted Cruz was presenting an argument on the Senate floor about forming a panel of 5 supreme court justices, 5 senators and 5 members of the house and taking 10 days to investigate. I heard somewhere that he was very persuasive and it was being considered when the “insurrection” stopped the debate and the issue died and #PenceOfCrap lied and said he was asked to overturn an election when what he was asked to do was the 10 days to investigate.
Well, apparently I’m not the only one that was angered that for the good of the country, we couldn’t even be given 10 days for an investigation.
Four Trumpet playing brothers from Utah, watched what happened and thought “Huh, all those elected officials that voted against an investigation just broke their oath of office. Well, that’s not cool”. Ok, maybe I paraphrased a bit there.
There are two lawsuits, one is held up in Nevada, but the other was labeled as a National Emergency enabling it to bypass the 10th Circuit court and go straight to the Supreme Court. Which it did. Then the suit was given a favorable ruling by the 10th Circuit as well.
So what is the suit about? Rule #11– Has an elected official defended the constitution as per the oath that they take? If questions about an election arise, then congress is required to set aside 10 days for congress to look into the situation and any irregularities. The SCOTUS clerk has called the brothers to say send the paperwork. The case is against the 385 members voted against the 10 day period, as well as Beijing Biden, Kamel-toe and #PenceOfCrap. For this violation of the law, the violation of the oath they took for their office, they can be removed from office, and that is the remedy the lawsuit is asking for. The affected members, did not file a response. The solicitor general of the US is now representing the oath breakers.
On the seventh day of the encirclement of Jericho (see Jewish History for the 22nd of Nissan), the Jews, accompanied by the Holy Ark, circled the city seven times. After the blowing of the shofar, the walls miraculously crashed and sank, leaving the city open and unprotected. Jericho was easily conquered, becoming the first fortified Canaanite city to fall to the Children of Israel in their conquest of the Promised Land.
Here’s their website. https://7discoveries.com/ You can buy a copy of the court papers for $1 each for the two case. For $30 you can get Raland J Brunson Writ Of Certiorari. I”m going to get at least a couple of the things off the site, I’m sure this stuff isn’t cheap to do.
(The 9 Justices will meet January 6, 2023 to discuss the case and decide (by vote) if they want to move it to a hearing, where they will oficially judge the case and decide (by vote) if defendants should be removed from office)
Blow those trumpets brothers! Blow the trumpets and may G-d have mercy on U.S. and the wall of lies and deceit come tumbling down!
With Elon Musk breaking open the treasure trove of information that has been censored by the big tech companies at the behest of law enforcement and the FIB. Naw, I don’t really consider the FIB law enforcement anymore, do you? I mean seriously. Yes, I understand if you’re meeting your niece’s new boyfriend and she says “he’s in law enforcement” and you ask what he does and he says proudly “I’m a special agent with the FIB, I go through the garbage can at James Woods’ house!” that you can’t laugh out loud. But he’s not really law enforcement. Not like a decent Sheriff.
But let’s take a look at how different life might be if people had been told the truth about a few issues.
First up, the big kerfluffle going on now is #TwitterFiles.
It seems the children at the old Twitter, as opposed to the new and definitely improved Twitter, decided to make in kind campaign donations to the Biden crime family by censoring any story the DNC wanted censored. The FIB interfered in yet another federal election by “pre-bunking” the laptop from hell story as well. So the New York Post, the oldest newspaper in the U.S. and doing actual journalism, as opposed to the NY Slimes which is mostly notable now for a crossword puzzle and being a fine birdcage liner or puppy pads, had done a spectacular piece of journalism on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Not about the hookers, drugs or child sex issues but about the ways our country was going to be left vulnerable to foreign influence due to the activities of the whole Biden junta.
Apparently the government telling big tech what and who to censor since they can’t do it themselves, due to that pesky First Amendment, is a no no. Huh, who knew?
As documents released on Twitter appear to indicate that Twitter became a tool of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign, Elon Musk summed up his disgust with what was revealed.
On Friday, journalist Matt Taibbi shared a communication illustrating how complaints were received.
“One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.’ The reply would come back: ‘Handled,’” he posted on Twitter, leading Musk to reply.
“If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?” Musk wrote.
8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.” pic.twitter.com/mnv0YZI4af
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 2, 2022
If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022
And yet, the #TwitterFiles that have been release so far, have seemed to lack a certain amount of information. There seemed to be something missing some have said.
Oh, think the problem has been located and resolved.
Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.
Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”
And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”
Happily Musk canned his sorry butt and had him escorted from the building.
As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s infamous censorship program, much has been confirmed about the use of back channels by Biden and Democratic officials to silence critics on the social media platform. However, one familiar name immediately popped out in the first batch of documents released through journalist Matt Taibbi: James Baker. For many, James Baker is fast becoming the Kevin Bacon of the Russian collusion scandals.
Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial). Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”
So, the corrupt James Baker, vetted/censored what Matt Taibbi was to receive in the information he was going to release to try to clean Twitter up from it’s history of partisan censorship. Rich isn’t it? The #TwitterFiles are being released to both Matt Taibbi and Barry Weiss to release to the public. Neither Taibbi or Weiss are exactly conservative or Donald Trump fans, but they are actual journalists. As opposed to say Chris Cuomo, or Don Lemon, or Rachel Maddow, or Brandy Zadrozny whom one of my favorite radio show hosts calls “The blonde bimbo fascist” for her political positions.
But as the sludge of the swamp is being released you can’t help but wonder since the election was decided by about 90,000 votes to have given the pubs a unified government. Would more people than voted for Barry Sotero still have flocked to the polls to vote for a man who had sold the country out to China and Ukraine have still done so? I mean, it does sort of explain why we’re sending millions of taxpayer dollars to a corrupt CIA installed puppet named Zelensky, right? It does explain why almost every decision made by Biden’s teleprompter and the junta benefits China. Would people have voted for that knowingly? We’ll never know because of people like James Baker.
Officials from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security frequently met with major social media companies ahead of the 2020 election and pointed out users and pieces of content for removal, according to information from a deposition of a senior FBI agent revealed by a state attorney general.
“We found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech—from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a series of tweets on Dec. 2, three days after deposing Special Agent Elvis Chan, who’s in charge of cyber affairs at the FBI San Francisco Field Office.
Chan has given major social media companies warnings that have led them to censor information about a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, shortly before the election that put Biden in office, according to a lawsuit against the Biden administration led by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.
Not content to merely influence American elections, Twitter expanded it’s horizons.
Elon Musk continues to drop bomb after bomb on the leftist company’s interference in Democratic elections.
On Saturday Elon Musk admitted Twitter likely interfered in the Brazilian presidential elections in favor of convicted felon and Socialist Lula de Silva.
This is BIG, BIG News!
I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022
The difference is, in Brazil they know the machines rigged the elections and are still out in the streets and I believe the military is going to override the corrupt, left-wing supreme court that let a man out of jail and cleared his crime so he could run for office. In the Brazilian constitution there is a part that allows the military to do that. The people are probably watching America circle the drain in less than two years of a corrupt stolen election and saying “Oh HELL NO” to that option. Thus, they are still protesting by the millions. Not that the corrupt mainstream media aka #FakeNews is covering it.
What other elections did Twitter interfere in? How’s about Arizona? Yep, Katie Hobbs who campaigned with all the vigor of the ancient Joe Biden from her basement had access to special Twitter friends to take down tweets at her request. Almost like she knew she didn’t need to campaign isn’t it? Eh wot?
Now we know why crooked Katie Hobbs didn’t want to debate Kari Lake?
Why would she when she ran the election, oversaw 30% of election day precinct machines breaking down, had the media in her pocket, and was working with social media platforms to silence her critics!
This is likely criminal activity – especially if she silenced her critics during her gubernatorial run which is likely!
And soon we will hear about how over 70,000 fraudulent ballots were sent out before election day!
What else did Twitter censor? How about documented cases of armed self-defense? The Zelman Partisans and Bear and I both got locked out of Twitter when things supportive of Kyle Rittenhouse were posted on Twitter. Ah, effin’ Twitter and Amnesty? Eff You, Musk.
Anything else “life and death” that Twitter suppressed? OH YEA! How many poor souls are on their way to a life of pain, or a shorter life, or a lost life, or a destroyed life because they were denied information about the “safe and effective vaccine” that is neither safe, effective or a vaccine?
The public is becoming increasingly disturbed with reports of death among the vaccinated. It is natural to ask “was the death caused by vaccination?” The most definitive way of answering that question is with autopsy.
Schwab et al reported on deaths after vaccination with detailed autopsies in Heidelberg, Germany.[i] Of 35 fatalities within 20 days of injection, 10 were ruled out as clearly not due to the vaccine (eg drug overdose). The remaining 25 (71%) had final diagnoses consistent with a vaccine injury syndrome including myocardial infarction, worsening heart failure, vascular aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, fatal stroke, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, 5 cases had acute myocarditis as the cause of death with the histopathology in the heart muscle showing patchy inflammation very similar to what was seen in the deltoid muscle were the mRNA vaccine was injected.
The executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, Steve Kirsch, has been working to make early COVID drug treatments available to the public, despite being assailed by the medical establishment for speaking out about the dangers of the COVID vaccines.
During the pandemic, he founded the COVID-19 Treatment Fund to raise money to test repurposed drugs for use in treating COVID, while health agencies were dismissing their effectiveness and urging the public to get vaccinated as the only way to prevent severe illness and hospitalization.
Not allowing the testing and use of repurposed drugs has cost too many lives said, Kirsch.
“This has cost millions of lives,” and the problem was compounded by a hospital COVID treatment protocol “that was almost certain to kill you,” Kirsch said during a recent interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.
He said the COVID protocols hospitals have followed, although sanctioned by the federal health agencies, added to the death toll.
Twitter has published its first set of transparency reports about how the site had operated prior to multi-billionaire Elon Musk taking over the company. Among the reports, the social media giant states they are no longer enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information policy.”
Musk had promised the release of the transparency reports, saying it is necessary to regain the trust of the public.
The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 28, 2022
Since January 2020, over 11 million accounts were challenged for violating the COVID-19 information policy, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content were removed
Twitter has stopped enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information” policy that had resulted in nearly 100,000 pieces of content being cut from the platform and led to more than 11,000 account suspensions.
The social media giant, which was taken over by industrialist Elon Musk at the end of October, said in a report that, effective Nov. 23, Twitter is “no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.”
The report included information about Twitter’s enforcement actions related to its COVID-19 content policies. Between January 2020 and September 2022, there were 11.72 million accounts challenged, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content removed.
The policy, which was introduced to curb the spread of “harmful misinformation” related to COVID-19, was praised by some, including U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who in an advisory (pdf) on “building a healthy information environment” cited Twitter’s rules as a model for companies to fight misinformation.
But heavy-handed enforcement of the policy garnered criticism, such as when earlier this year Twitter flagged numerous tweets with factual information about COVID-19 as misinformation and suspended accounts of scientists and doctors.
Probably good that people took lots of screen shots, perhaps they knew the time would come when the government lies would need to be documented. Even as some of the tyrants are calling for amnesty, those who also committed wrong doing are trying to re-write their shameful history.
Boyden Gray & Associates filed a lawsuit in June on behalf of three doctors who allege that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) illegally interfered with their doctor–patient relationships, resulting in harm. They also claim that the FDA broke the law when the agency issued statements prohibiting the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
In response to the lawsuit, lawyers for the FDA claimed that its guidance for people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation; as such, they weren’t mandating against it.
However, in an interview that aired on NTD’s “Newsmakers” on Nov. 23, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, confirmed that the FDA did, indeed, take an “unprecedented” approach against ivermectin and said that their defense amounts to the FDA trying to rewrite COVID-19 history.
Know what that reminds me of?
The clip is a tad longer than what I started it at. About 3 ½ minutes total, I’m starting it part way in.
No forgetting, we see you for what you are and aren’t.
There is a whole host of damaging and fatal side effects, and the information has been censored on Twitter, FakeBook and YouTube. The following are short videos from Rumble.
And I would guess all this information, and all these people have been censored from Twitter, YouTube and FakeBook.
But you know who is very curious about all this censorship? Missouri and Louisiana’s Attorney Generals. They’ve had the demented troll aka Fauxci on the stand for over seven hours. Well over 174 times the greedy, power hungry demented troll stated “He couldn’t remember”. Lots of things he couldn’t remember.
When asked to provide a mask study that justifies the chronic hypercarbia he has inflicted on U.S. he can’t. There are many stating the risk and harm, but the demon that inflicted this on U.S. can’t name a one that says they work or are indicated. We also found out the lockdowns came from one man, Clifford Lane. A deputy Fauxci sent to China to see how his buddies were handling WuFlu. Lane came back with a report given to him by China saying the lock downs work. In awe of the power and control over the people, Fauxci couldn’t wait to implement them here. No studies, no nothing. Just taking the word of a Chinese dictator. If you want to read the whole transcript. Here ya go. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/135885afauci112322_full_redacted.pdf?sfvrsn=35f4a425_2
Guess some of that information censored on the Hunter Biden laptop from hell would explain why the U.S. squashed the peace agreement Russia and Ukraine had worked out, huh? Ukraine is too good a money laundering operation for the demoncrats and corrupt republicans. Not to mention, they’ve paid the Biden crime family a LOT of money to look after their interests. Lloyd Austin (is he still on the board of Raytheon?) said the quiet part out loud, they want to use Ukraine to weaken Russia. The country who isn’t attacking churches like Zelensky is. Because you know, democracy always involves attacking religious institutions, right?
We Are Using Ukraine To Do WHAT?!
But if you think the government is only using private business to attack the First Amendment, you would be wrong.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, together with 17 other state attorneys general, are asking shipping companies UPS and FedEx to explain their newly implemented policies to track and record Americans’ firearms purchases and disclose whether these policies have been coordinated with the Biden administration.
In letters sent on Nov. 29 to FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam and UPS CEO Carol B. Tomé, Knudsen and his co-signers wrote that the shipping companies’ policies “allow your company to track firearm sales with unprecedented specificity and bypass warrant requirements to share that information with federal agencies.”
“What both of these companies are saying is that they’re doing this so they can better cooperate with law enforcement,” Knudsen told The Epoch Times. “That’s all fine and well, until you find out that that’s a violation of federal law.”
I am convinced one of the most important positions in government has become these state Attorney Generals.
Is Elon Musk a good guy or a bad guy? I dunno. But he understand freedom of information and speech are essential to the survival of his adopted homeland. Something I wish more people understood. I’m pretty sure I can think of more than a few people that still think the jab is a great idea and are looking forward to their every other month booster jab. Never mind each one weakens the natural immune system. If Rachel Maddow, Joy Behar or, well, who’s left on CNN? Anderson Cooper? If one of them didn’t tell them, then it’s not true. They’d bet their life on it.
I think Elon is on the right track here. The White House spokes-clown just called the #TwitterFiles a distraction, the televised DNC propaganda crew called news casters are all ignoring it like it’s not happening and the DNC propaganda crew called talk show hosts are all busy trying to explain why it’s a bad thing people are getting honest information and corruption is being exposed. Yep, to the left, that’s a bad thing. So, if all those people have their panties in a twist, this is a very good thing indeed. Prayers for Elon’s safety.
Jews. Guns. No compromise. No surrender.
