A few people noted that New York state Dims’ Senate Bill S9407B had a small problem. I was patiently waiting to see if they would address it with an amendment after it was publicly pointed out.
S9407B is a ban on the sale or possession of a “BODY VEST, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION 270.20.” The problem with the bill is that none of the sponsors appeared to have read 270.20.
For the purposes of this section a “body vest” means a bullet-resistant soft body armor providing, as a minimum standard, the level of protection known as threat level I which shall mean at least seven layers of bullet-resistant material providing protection from three shots of one hundred fifty-eight grain lead ammunition fired from a .38 calibre handgun at a velocity of eight hundred fifty feet per second.
No, the Dimwits never amended to correct what seems like a bit of a shortfall, if keeping their citizens sufficiently vulnerable to gunfire was their purpose, as it certainly appears. Soft body armor that will stop a rather old-fashioned .338 caliber, 158 grain, lead slug is out. The governor has signed the bill into law.
Hard ceramic, steel, composite, or UHWM polyethylene plates that will stop higher- power rifles rounds (as well as the lesser .38s) are still fine. New Yorkers can breathe a sigh of relief, since the basic stupidity of their elected wannabe-masters worked in the people’s favor for once.

It seems the Biden junta weaponized alphabet agencies are getting frisky. It seems they feel America is no longer a country ruled by laws but by dictatorial fiat, so they want to prove themselves as big a hero as Lila Morris the DC cop who beat an unconscious Roseanne Boyland to death and was then declared a “hero”. Hmph, must be handing that title out in crackerjacks now like they did Barry Sotero’s “Nobel Peace Prize”, snort, giggle, chuckle guffaw.
So if you ever wondered why states like Missouri passed a Second Amendment Preservation Act that prevents local law enforcement agencies from assisting federal agencies one only needs take a look at some recent activity. I can’t help it if a Senatorial candidate (Greitens) objects to the SAPA because it prevents local law enforcement being roped into the federal abuse of citizens. But hey, it took the guy five years to figure out being a Young Global leader in the WEF was a bad thing, so looking down the road may not be his strong suit.
For evidence I offer Delaware. Oh were you thinking the ATF didn’t have a firearm registry?
In Missouri, the useless biased hack known as Chris Wray decided he would “audit” the records of Missouri concealed carry holders. The Attorney General Eric Schmitt nicely told him to go pound sand. Delicious!! You’ll enjoy reading it.
A Washington state sheriff recently advised residents in his county that if agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) come to their homes without a search warrant asking to inspect their firearms, they can tell them to leave their property.
Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer said in a press statement on Friday that agents are “making surprise home visits of persons who have purchased two or more firearms at one time. To my knowledge, these ATF visits have not occurred in Washington State yet.”
Sheriff Songer told The Washington Times he became concerned about the Second Amendment rights of the residents of Klickitat County after viewing a doorbell video that showed a firearms owner who ATF agents coerced, without a warrant, to inspect his firearms.
Damned right it’s illegal. The “no registry/database” was the “compromise” that FOPA gave us when we lost new machine guns.
Here’s the thing, the alphabet agencies think they are above the law. The law doesn’t apply to them. They enjoy inflicting fear and pain on innocent citizens but when it comes to them…..well then. I found this very enlightening. The behavior of the agent is despicable, he was terrorizing an innocent woman at home with her children. I believe it was the landlord that came over and thanked the police.
The video is 15:38 long, and probably worth watching every bit of it. The comments under the video are pretty interesting as well. They do go talk to the scared woman who called the police in the first place.
In my humble opinion this is how all these interactions should be handled. Poor lady, poor kids. But rockin’ awesome police officers standing up for the scared innocent citizens.
The alphabets, they do love their power.
With the betrayal of Joe Manchin, again, friends don’t ever vote Demoncrat, there are going to be some changes. Even if they say they’re moderate, or support ________ they will have to tow the Demoncrat party line. Which these days is somewhere around Stalin on the scale. But back to the changes, people making under $200,000 a year are going to have a tiny little increase in their taxes despite the liar in chief’s promises.
The energy and health care deal from Sens. Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer would raise taxes on millions of Americans earning less than $400,000 annually, Senate Republicans say, citing nonpartisan data.
The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation found that taxes would jump by $16.7 billion on American taxpayers making less than $200,000 in 2023 and raise another $14.1 billion on taxpayers who make between $200,000 and $500,000.
During the 10-year window, the average tax rate would go up for most income categories, the Senate GOP said, citing the data from the joint committee. And by 2031, new energy credits and subsidies would have people earning less than $400,000 pay as much as two-thirds of the additional tax revenue collected that year, the release said.
WOWZA! That’s a lot of money! Now regular citizens when their household spending increase due to a fraudulent communist being placed in office who issues a lot of illegal executive orders, well they have to trim the budget somewhere else. Like, less eating out, no movies, maybe even cut off the cable #FakeNews to make ends meet. So since we are now supporting millions of illegal aliens, with more pouring across the boarder daily I think the federal government needs to trim their burden on the taxpayer…now where oh where I wonder could we trim. Would we miss the alphabets if the went away? Would it be so bad if parents could go to school board meeting unmolested? If law abiding citizens could feel secure in their homes? Wouldn’t it be nice if someone at the door who said they were Avon calling, really was Avon? If Hunter Biden knew there wasn’t anyone covering for him and “the big guy” any longer? Hmm, maybe just leave law-enforcement to the local professional officers that answer to their citizens? I dunno, but it’s a thought. Don’t like that one? Ok, hows about every single politician or un-elected bureaucrat (CDC I’m looking at you) that pushes gun control no longer has tax payer funded security? They get to live like the little people they are trying to deprive of their most effective self-defense tool? Certainly that should save some money! And with the Biden junta spending more money in Ukraine, who will send it back to corrupt politicians, we need to start these effective cost cutting measures at once! No time to waste! Like yesterday! Follow me for more simple, practical budgeting tips…
But the upshot, say no to tyranny. Very catchy tune by the way!
Yep, no doubt about it, this year I keep thinking about the words of Benjamin Franklin “A Republic if you can keep it” in response to being asked what kind of government had been established for the new formed United States.
So, since I have veggie hot dogs to grill I’ve just got a few thoughts for today. Some snarky, some serious, some funny. Sort of like a family potluck.
First, encouraging words from President Puddin’ Head
Typical Biden
Let’s try that again
The founding of our nation wasn’t a joke though, men and women of valor fought very hard to give us the freedom that people are squandering and taking for granted.
The Signers of the Declaration of Independence
And because of their vision, hard work and sacrifice we, have a chance to strive to be uncommon.
The American’s Creed
But the signers knew what they were doing, they knew the formula that would be needed in the future to preserve the freedom that tyrants always seek to snatch away.
Mere peasants?Independence Day-brought to you by firearms
And I will leave you with this video of the history of the Star Spangled Banner. I didn’t get a Puffs warning, but I’m saying it might be good to have one close by.
I’ve heard it said a picture is worth a thousand words, so this is going to be a really really long column! There have been all kinds of pity memes going around lately, many of them dealing with citizen control and on Fakebook and other social media sites people are sharing and swapping them around like baseball trading cards. Back when there was baseball…and trading cards worth trading.
So here we go, I have a few, very few for me links I am putting in to relevant stories that in my mind apply to the meme.
We shall start with what set off the latest round of calls for citizen control. The Uvalde killer who has been labeled in the corporate (biased) media as “bullied”. As per usual, they have it bass akwards.
HE was the bully, and pro-tip? Anyone, and I mean anyone, who walks around with a bag of dead cats he’s beaten to death is not normal. This is why we have animal cruelty laws.
Now does this sound normal to you? And that was a really nice truck his grandma had as well. Looked very expensive. I feel very sorry for her, she tried to help the kid and he shot her then stole her really nice truck.
I have other questions.
How DID the shooter get all that gear? He had a minimum wage job.
So now the hue and cry to get rid of “assault weapons”.
You say potato, I say potato, it’s the same rifle.
But it seems that our (in their minds) rulers have inconsistent ideas about who lawful gun owners should be. For instance, take Ukraine.
Ukraine gets rocket launchersBiden Will arm our enemies however.
Oh, well, good to see where the priorities of American politicians are, right? Because they aren’t with U.S.!
Then you have exceedingly stupid politicians and even dumber talking heads on the corporate (Pfizer sponsored) media yammering on about how The Second Amendment was never meant to include modern weapons. And that might be a fun column to do in the near future. But for now, WWGWS
What would George Washington say?
Ah George, we need you now!
Fine
We can do it your way.
So then there is the talk about mandatory buy backs and confiscation. Doesn’t it seem odd a burgler is pushing to have law-abiding citizens disarmed? It’s almost like he wants to make it a “safer work environment”…for criminals.
Beta male hypocrisy
And about trusting the government to keep us safe? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHA and more.
Universal background checkWaco Tx
But if it’s really really about preventing death…
Gun death vs Vax death
But since I want to end this column on a happy note:
If you’re border patrol agent Jacob Albarado, you can borrow a shotgun from the barber who is giving you a haircut and go save your wife and daughter who are being held hostage at Uvalde’s Robb elementary school. And you’ll be saving a whole lot of other people in the process as well.
If you’re Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, you spend time keeping your county safe and crime free and then training others to protect school children. It’s interesting that after the FL legislators passed a bill putting additional safety measures in place that Broward County, home of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, was the last school to put them in place. But Sheriff Judd speaks straightforward, and hopefully his flame will light many candles.
And these are all amazing things, G-d can use any person anywhere to accomplish a miracle. But sometimes the miracles are so earth shattering, so ground breaking that normal sane humans can’t help but see the hand of G-d.
The 28th of Iyar (this year 29th May) we celebrate Yom Yerushaylim, Jerusalem day celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967. This was a miracle straight from the hand of G-d. While it cost much in the way of lives, the cost was far less than anticipated.
This is a really good backstory video with lots of excellent footage and maps showing the areas involved. It’s under 10 minutes. It opens with the famous words from Mordechai (Motta) Gur “”הר הבית בידינוThe Temple mount is in our hands! Every time I hear that tears well up and sometimes they run down. Only G-d. If you’re one person and you’re Motta Gur? Well then. And it has horses in it.
One person? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Shlomo Goren, you can capture Hevron with your driver. But he must have had angels riding with him after having blown his shofar on the Temple Mount, eh? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Goren, amazing!
So after all that time, all that fighting all the loss of life, to regain the site of the Holy Temples, the place where G-d chose for his temples and you’re Moshe Dayan? Well, then you give it away.
Dayan’s first act on the Temple Mount, only a few hours after IDF Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the shofar and gave the Shehecheyanu blessing beside the Western Wall, was to immediately remove the Israeli flag that the paratroopers had raised on the mount.
Dayan’s second act was to clear out the paratroop company that was supposed to remain permanently stationed in the northern part of the mount. Dayan rejected the insistent pleas of the head of Central Command, Uzi Narkiss, who tried to prevent him from taking this measure. Narkiss reminded Dayan that Jordan, too, had stationed a military contingent on the mount to maintain order, and that long ago the Romans had done the same, deploying a garrison force in the Antonia Fortress that Herod had built near the mount. But Dayan was not persuaded. He told Narkiss that it seemed to him the place would have to be left in the hands of the Muslim guards.
Better to be Uzi Narkiss. Uzi may not have gotten it done, but he tried. But even for him, it wasn’t about G-d or religion, more culture or tradition I guess.
But Dayan wasn’t done.
Dayan, just a few hours after his first public announcement to the Israeli people about the holy places and particularly the Temple Mount, succinctly stated: “We have returned to the holiest of our places, never to be parted from them again….We did not come to conquer the sacred sites of others or to restrict their religious rights, but rather to ensure the integrity of the city and to live in it with others in fraternity.”
Typical leftist thinking. If we play nice, others will play nice with us.
Dayan’s most significant act on the Temple Mount, which sparked controversy over the years and was widely criticized, was to forbid Jewish prayer and worship there, unlike the arrangements that emerged at the Machpelah Cave in Hebron where there is also a functioning mosque.7 Dayan decided to leave the mount and its management in the hands of the Muslim Wakf, while at the same time insisting that Jews would be able to visit it (but not pray at it!) without restriction. Dayan thought, and years later even committed the thought to writing, that since for Muslims the mount is a “Muslim prayer mosque” while for Jews it is no more than “a historical site of commemoration of the past…one should not hinder the Arabs from behaving there as they now do.”
Because for him it was no more than a historical site, Dayan was a Kibbutznik, born and raised on a communist Kibbutz. His parents were not religious, he wasn’t and his children weren’t. For him that’s all it was. And when people lack G-d, and a relationship with the creator it keeps them from seeing the true beauty and value in the things G-d inspired or created himself. And that’s how Dayan came off the tracks.
It’s why we have people now that don’t see the beauty in the differences in men and women, how the two can compliment each other. It’s why people can’t comprehend that while there are viruses, he also put things out there that can cure them other than worshipping at the alter of the Golden Fauxi with his golden needle. At least I believe that.
In freedom people are allowed to have different opinions and freely debate idea.
But like Moshe Dayan, children today aren’t taught to recognize things of value, like freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to defend yourself and your family, freedom from medical tyranny. Those freedoms come from G-d. And if you don’t believe or accept there is a creator of the universe? Well, then.
G-d miraculously reunited Jerusalem, in his way, at his time. Which at the time looked like the tiny baby state of Israel was bound for destruction.
I pray he will unite our country, but not at the expense of freedom. Not because the bat rabid left have won the battle. I pray that he send Moshiach now, yesterday.
You see, I believe Moshe Dayan’s decision has consequences that affect our world even today. I can not help but wonder, had he not committed his act of idiocy, in my humble opinion, how different would our world be today?
5 “I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.
6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.
7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.
We are all just one person, but sometimes one person is enough. Sometimes many of the “just one persons” unite together, and I can not help but believe when we unite together to be a force of good, G-d will bless our efforts. But whether working alone or with others, be a force for good. May many people the world over wake up to the knowledge of G-d.
Israel and America, countless battles and whether it was the Battle of Bunker Hill or the Battle of Ammunition Hill, we can not let the sacrifices have been for nothing. Teach your children what they won’t learn in school,teach them to appreciate living in a moral G-dly country. And may both return to that soon.
This is well worth a few minutes of your time. A tip of my Stetson to fellow writer, Y.B.
He thinks it’s a problem with those lawfully carrying firearms.
If you are allowing people to carry guns, the good guys are no longer able to be distinguished from the bad guys because if you have a bad day, and you have a gun, that bad day can elevate to an argument.
There’s a tendency that people believe if they got a gun, ‘Why have it, if I’m not using it?’ That’s just the mindset of carrying a gun.
The problem here isn’t honest folks carrying guns. It’s Mayor Adams,
Adams believes that carrying a gun for defense means you’re suddenly going to snap, to start shooting because you’re having a bad day.
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.
Here’s a reality check, Mayor; cash it:
Those people who go to the trouble of lawfully carrying a firearm for defense rarely “snap.” Based on personal experience, conversations with other carriers, reading, and firearms classes, the opposite is the case.
We aren’t carrying because we hope to kill someone. If I can make it through my life without ever having to do that, I’d be happy.
Because we know from education and training that actually firing a gun anywhere but a range, or hunting, can bring down a load of legal and moral pain, we are more likely to attempt to deescalate a situation, rather than default to Kill ’em all; let G-d sort ’em out.
We carry defensively because we value life, even that of a scumbag… up to the point that such a creature forces us to prioritize one life over his.
I’ve been carrying firearms, professionally and personally, for over forty years. Not once have I ever thought He’s annoying me. I have a gun. Why not just put the bastard out of my misery?
I have been in situations where the thought Oh please don’t make me draw has gone through my mind.
But Mayor Adams seems incapable of that mindset, or even granting that someone else might have that I-don’t-want-to-shoot-anyone mindset.
That appears to leave Adams with the Oh, g-d; I’m gonna kill someone mindset. He knows it, and assumes everyone else is like himself.
On an intellectual level, I’m curious as to how he can live with that sort of self-loathing. But, really, I don’t want those sort of destructive — of self and others — thoughts in my head.
I suppose this is why people like Adams can support no-due process “red flag” laws, and other forms of victim disarmament. They know damned well that they themselves should probably be red-flagged and disarmed. For cause.

Yes, I’m a bit late getting this up, what can I say? How about Yom HaAtzmaut Samach? Happy Independence Day? Yes, the 5th of Iyar, this year May 5th marks a 74 year old beautiful Israel. Ok, so today is really the 5th of Iyar, but Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day) and Yom HaAtzmaut will be moved if they are going to conflict with Shabbat.
I listened to a podcast I really enjoy from Leah Aharoni on Israel Newstalk Radio. She combines the Torah portion for the week and then views news of the week through the lens of what she covered from the Torah.
In this weeks version she covered some amazing facts about Israel,
They have been able to grow fresh dates from 6th century date seeds found at Masada.
Israel is the only country to revive dead language, Hebrew. For more on that you can read about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda
The Israeli post office has a special letters to G-d department. The letters addressed to G-d are placed in cracks in Western Wall. I guess the Israeli post office isn’t tracking their citizens on social media so they have time for meaningful activity.
They were the first country with medical clowning group, and it was the first to go into covid wards to spread cheer and encourage patients and probably staff as well.
In 2007 “Good deeds day” was started by Shari Arison in Israel, and 7,000 participated. Two years ago 4 million participated world wide.
Israel recycles 90% of waste water, it is then used for agriculture.
Leah described some kind of cool sock, it sounded like she was saying “Poolies”maybe “Pulies”? Which are socks made from recycled plastics. But I couldn’t find them to give you a link.
The cows in Israel produce more milk per cow than any other country.
Due to Bamba, a heavenly treat, like a Cheeto only made with peanuts, few children have peanut allergies. Because children begin to eat Bamba from 7-8 mo old. I’m convinced Bamba is a gift from Heaven.
The women in Israel have more children per woman than any other OECD ( Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) country. And the number of children is going up even as more women are entering into the work force and higher education.
If you want to listen to the whole excellent show, it is here
And I think this last one may explain why the globalists were so determined to use Israel as a test lab for the experimental gene therapy injections.
I guess if you’re a globalist you don’t want a group of people trying to show the world a decent moral way to live according to the directions of the creator then you’d want to cut down on the number of them. That is a bridge too far for the globalist control. They think they are G-d.
Israel was re-born 74 years ago, in the same place that G-d led us when we left behind the slavery of Egypt. But the thing about slavery is you have to remain vigilant. Just because you leave one brand of slavery behind doesn’t mean another brand won’t try to sneak in and seize control. I think that is what is happening in Israel and America right now.
The day after Israel declared Independence, she was attacked in her own little home.
“I was sitting in the car with my friend and we were eating cholent,” Dovid said. “The terrorists, carrying huge axes, came on both sides of the car. My friend threw his boiling hot cholent on one of the terrorists and he got burned and stopped in his tracks. Meanwhile, I grabbed the end of his ax and I managed to push him away. He flew three steps back. And then the second terrorist tried to hit my friend again but my friend pushed him back and they fled.”
Assault cholent/hamim? Excuse me sir, do you have a license for that assault cholent/hamim? I seem to remember another column I did where boiling cholent/hamim was used by some Yeshiva students to fight off barbaric muslims as they tried to break into the Yeshiva. It is a very sad state of affairs when your government is more worried about the criminal muslims rights being protected than the innocent cholent/hamim eating victim. To translate that from Israeli into American, the rights of Antifa over the innocent driver trying to get to work.
I think that both America and Israel are under attack from within by their own governments. Someone signed that order in Israel to force those injections. In America we know about the demented troll at the NIH and the demented puppet in the white house. But the leadership of neither country wants it’s people to live in a land whole and healthy based on the G-d’s law. And for those that have sat still on the sidelines, thinking that “It can’t get that bad, we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights”, I guess we as a people are going to have to decide how much it matters to us. U.S. There is always work involved, but going forward we need to know, we can never let the left near the levers of power. Had the left wing General Moshe Dayan not thrown the miraculous gift of the Temple Mount back in G-d’s face after he gave it to us, Israelis would be celebrating Yom HaAtzmaut on the Temple Mount today. Because this land? It is ours.
The Second Amendment rights movement has suffered what I consider to be some grievous losses the last few years. We lost Brad Alpert in 2019 who’s Second Amendment activity went way back to 1966. We lost his beloved wife Jo Ann just a few weeks ago. She was a Southern Second Amendment powerhouse in her own right. They were some of the smartest people I ever met, and many a time a visit to see them would sooth my troubled heart, soul or both. Not to mention they were a great source of inspiration.
I’m not on FakeBook much at all anymore, but a quick check in showed me we lost a another stalwart on the 15th of April.
And then last night I got a phone call from an old friend, going way back to 2004. January 22nd of 2004 to be precise. I was a young(er) country gal who had traveled to the state capitol to attend a hearing for a court case against Missouri’s concealed carry law. I was going to write my first column for a grassroots Missouri Second Amendment rights group. I didn’t know anyone. I was going because I didn’t have to work that day, and I wanted to see it, and write about it. And it became what I consider to be a life shaping event. I met some amazing people that day, people I had only heard of in Second Amendment rights group meetings. People that had been instrumental in getting concealed carry passed in the state of Missouri. One of those people was John Ross, the author of Unintended Consequences. It is a big book, it combines history with his modern day story line and while I haven’t read it for a few years, in some ways I think it’s prophetic. As I recall it’s towards the beginning there is a part that takes place in the Warsaw ghetto. I was hooked. Part of it does have some pretty graphic scenes, just a warning up front. But it’s a once you read it, you’ll never forget it. I remember when it came out he, and his ex-wife were harassed by alphabet soup agencies, but the book still went on sale.
My phone call last night was from my friend Michael Meyer (who despite never getting me a Clydesdale, I still adore) telling me John had passed on. I didn’t even know he had been working on his next book. Who knows what that might have been like. Michael said everyone was in shock. I get it, I am as well. I told Michael it’s because we never expect our legends to die. I guess some people have been looking on the net for that original column I did, about meeting them all. So I’m sharing some pictures with you from that day, the lunch at Madison’s and Michael generously shared some really good pictures of John with me.
I was in the presence of Warrior Angels that day, I still aspire to become one, and to inspire others to become one as well. Because I stand on the shoulders of giants.
In the Presence of Warrior Angels
I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Missouri Supreme Court (MOSC) hearing on the 22nd of January. It was an amazing experience for us. We found out by attending the WMSA meeting the night before that we needed to be there around 10 AM, rather than the 2 PM we had planned on. There would be tickets given out to enter the hearing. So I got up bright and early so I could leave on time. If you have never had to wake up chickens to feed them, it is pretty funny.
After an uneventful journey, I arrived around 9:40 AM found a parking spot in a 2 hour parking meter lot and got all set. I knew what the building looked like from internet hunting. I had ever been to the MOSC. I went in and passed through the metal detectors. Seemed an unnecessary step to me, as there was a big sign on the door to the effect of no weapons beyond this point. All criminals will certainly obey that sign, so why both with the metal detector? Then the intrepid Marshal went through my purse, more or less. Now that is bravery! We all left our cell phones on a table along with everyone else’s. I was told we couldn’t take our camera upstairs, so I asked the Marshal if I could take a photo by the beautiful marble stairway. He said sure. I started to take the photo, and a very nice gentleman, who turned out to be John Gordon, came up and offered to take a photo. Then tongue in cheek (at least I think it was) he asked which side we were on. I told him, VERY pro. He smiled and said as long as I was on the right side and laughed. John took the photo. Afterwards we met Tom Mendenhall, both were from Columbia. There were another group of men standing around, mostly in suits, I wondered which side they were on. While we were waiting for the tickets to be given out I amused myself by trying to figure out which side folks were on according to how they dressed and acted. After a while a line formed, we asked Carl, the guard behind the desk, by this time we were on a first name basis with Carl, if we should get in line. He softly laughed and said he didn’t know why folks were forming the line, that the tickets would be given out in order of arrival, and the Marshal knew the order of the arrival. Shortly after 10 AM, out he came and proceeded to pass out tickets. As we walked outside Dennis told me he had traded tickets with the gentleman that was walking out with us, so he could sit with his friends. I asked if we were still sitting together, he said we were. The gentleman then introduced himself. Tim Oliver. I lunged across Dennis and yelped TIM OLIVER?? THE Tim Oliver? He laughed and said yes. He told us he had a table reserved at Madison’s for lunch, we should come. Now we are in a strange city, we don’t know anyone, and this nice man invites us to join his group. We asked if he was sure there would be enough room for us. He said sure. He told us where it was, so we set out to move our car and find the place. We found it. It turned out, it was across from the parking garage. We went in and began our meeting of Warrior Angels. It was the most amazing thing, we ended up having lunch with Tim Oliver, Greg Jeffery, Tom Mendenhall and John Gordon on one side of the table. On the other was Dennis, Mike Meyer, John Ross (Author of Unintended Consequences, which if you haven’t read it, wow, you should!) and C. Michael Gamble. These are men who have labored long and hard in the fight for our Second Amendment Rights. They are intelligent, informed and generous of nature. They allowed two folks from the country who were pretty much alone in the city to be a part of their group and within 5 minutes we felt at home, we were among our own kind. Then it was back to the MOSC. We were front row center, I sat next to John Gordon, who secured press packets for us. When the lawyers filed in, Tim, who sat on the other side of Dennis, told us who the players were. Bert Newman opened for the bad guys (no bias in reporting here folks!). His argument hinged on the statement in the Missouri constitution that Article 1 section 23 which stated “but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons” meant that it couldn’t be done. One of the justices pointed out then it would apply to law officers, process servers and the like. Mr. Newman felt this applied only to citizens, not to law enforcement or the like which he said are “the state”. That law officers, process servers and the like have much more extensive training, regulation & requirements. There was a long discussion about rights under the first clause of Article 1 section 23, rights to promote personal security-guaranteed by the first clause, the right to defend their person or property. Mr. Newman feels that our law enforcement officials are promoting personal security by protecting the citizens of the state in a manner that is consistent with the first clause of Article 1 section 23. So as I understand that, Mr. Newman feels that our right to defend ourselves is taken care of by law enforcement officers. While I listen to this, I am remembering the part in Missouri Weapons and Self-Defense Law by K. Jamison, that the police do NOT have a duty to protect the individual, just society as a whole, and am thinking, oh, this isn’t good. Then came one of the most entertaining portions of the show. I believe it was Judge Benton, that ask Mr. Newman, so your definition of the word justify is sanction? What definition do you give us of the word justify? Faster than a speeding bullet, Mr. Newman whipped a pair of black patent tap shoes out of his briefcase and tied them on. He began to dance at a rapid speed. He started with the last phrase means accept, then went into the intent of the founders is so clear, looking back to the mischief to be remedied, spirit of the times, 1875 havoc, civil war…. The Justice re-asked the question of what justify meant, and where did he get the definition. With his feet furiously flying, Mr. Newman launched into another diatribe, included in his points, meaning of “does not justify” is a ban on concealed weapons, means can’t have. In the back of my head I am hearing this raspy voice saying “it depends on what your definition of the word is, is”…Finally after another Justice asked a time or two, Mr. Newman finally stated that the word justify meant “allow”. Mr. Newman then took off his tap shoes and Mr. Miller, the other bad guy (for simplicity in reporting) got up to present the Hancock portion of the argument. Judge Benton pointed out that the Sheriff may charge up to $100, or may not charge anything. That there may be a Sheriff that has said he will do it for free, as part of his running platform. Mr. Miller kept insisting that for judicial economy, that instead of having 114 counties come before the Supreme Court asking for relief from this unfunded mandate, it should just be ruled on now. One Justice pointed out that some counties have said they will not need any additional personnel, they already have the process in place for fingerprints, and basically, it won’t be any big deal. Obviously, this was not the Jackson County Sheriff. Mr. Miller’s point is that although the Sheriffs may charge up to $100, that the way the law is written prohibits the Sheriffs from using the money to pay for cost of processing the applications. Huh, where do these people get this stuff?
Then the mighty Paul Wilson from the Attorney General’s office (One of the good guys) came up to bat. Justice Wolf wanted to know if the money goes to the Sheriff’s fund for training, would the County be compensated for other expenses. Mr. Wilson replied that there was no way to know what other expenses there might be. He said that there is no way the legislature would draft the law, allow the Sheriffs to charge up to $100 and then say they could not use it to pay the expenses. One of the Justices asked “what if we struck the restriction to training and equipment? Then they could use the money as they see fit.” Mr. Wilson replied they could, or they could acknowledge the next section in the law which requires a sheriff to reimburse a local police chief any reasonable expenses meant that these categories were not to be exclusive to other expenses. He stated that the legislature had acted rationally in providing funds. When asked how could he say that in a county like St. Louis that it will not result in increase work load, Mr. Wilson replied they can’t, they have no way of knowing if 1 person, or 100,001 people will apply. He pointed out that the legislature will likely give a law against cross burning this year, and that will result in increased work for detectives. He asked if it was to be suggested that the law would violate the Hancock Amendment. He stated that is work they do, they capture criminals and bring them to the prosecutors. That these duties are part and parcel of what they do. Mr. Wilson stated that if a county doesn’t want to oblige someone who wants a concealed carry license, the county would raise the Hancock issue, they would have to prove, which they have not, that it is an unfunded mandate. That county would then need to come before the MOSC to be excused from complying. BUT if the court did choose to do that, it would not be preventing any other county from complying with the law.
Then it was back to Dancin’ Bert Newman for his final argument which is banning concealed carry promotes personal safety.
Mr. Miller’s final say was if they didn’t decide now on the Hancock issue (before there is any data to base a decision on mind you) that they would have to decide the issue 114 times. Just then a little Red chicken ran across the court room, something about the sky falling….I think. And with that the arguments closed.
What can I say, Mr. Brooks didn’t look too happy. It was the most amazing day, meeting these wonderful men, they truly are Warrior Angels, and to be present when history is being made!

I still belong to a group of like minded people that belonged to the Israeli political party Zehut, which means “Identity”. And we’ve been having conversations about the recent wave of terror attacks in Israel. You may not have been aware of them as President Puddin’ head has been trying to start World War III during his walk back weekend. I’m sure circle back Psaki (Ginger Goebbels) has been having nightmares. But yes, there have been several attacks in just the last few weeks. The religion of pieces is getting warmed up for Rama-damn. Like most of the world’s other religions, Islam has the time of year, certainly not a holy day, where they celebrate with fasting (during the day) and going out and trying to kill Jews. In Israel or anywhere else they might be living.
So in the course of the group message conversation I made some statements. Someone in the group said something about the terror attack in Bnei Brak (a religious neighborhood) and the conversation started.
Concealed carry, free ammo and practice time for every Israeli citizen starting tomorrow
Shocking I haven’t been asked to run for office isn’t it?
There is no limit of one firearm to one person even. Rifle shotgun and handgun have different purpose. Ideally a person needs one of each. There is no firearms limit nor is there a magazine capacity limit.
Law abiding citizens should not have to live in fear of wild animals. Two or four legged.
No that’s my platform! I think you’re right there are strict limits and that’s why this keeps happening🤬
The arabs like all criminals couldn’t care less about weapons laws
Too bad they are so strictly limited and the arabs know it.. They’ll just go to areas where they can’t have them like finding gun free zones in America
It will be a great day when the leaders of countries care as much about their own actual citizens as they do illegals, arabs and criminals.
Now if they could get the media to announce every Jew applying for a permit will be granted and the government to ignore the railings of President Puddin’s handlers perhaps it could be sorted. The homicidal maniacs have to understand they will be stopped before the can create orphans and widows since they don’t mind dying.
I’m not including statements from anyone else as I haven’t asked permission.
But since Ukraine is the current distraction from the rise in all cause mortality, the galloping tyranny and injection reactions is being spoon fed with a shovel at the moment I’m not sure the MSM aka #FakeNews has had a chance to mention them. So here ya go.
The attacker hit a cyclist with his car, killing the cyclist, then exited his car at the mall and stabbed three people to death before being shot to death by a bus driver. The dead included three women and a man. Police are searching for a suspected second assailant.
Kann News, a government-run news station, said the attacker was an Israeli citizen and a Bedouin. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups praised the attack but did not directly claim responsibility.
Kann reported that there have been repeated calls by Islamist terrorist groups for knifing attacks on Israeli citizens in recent weeks. The Jerusalem Post reported that this was the third stabbing attack in Israel in a week.
The murderous rampage in one of Israel’s major cities March 22 not only left four Israelis dead in just eight minutes, but also delivered a devastating blow to the ruling coalition. It was the worst terrorist attack in Israel in years, made even worse by the perpetrator being an Israeli citizen, a Bedouin from the village of Hura. He was reportedly also a supporter of the Islamic State who had spent time in Israeli prison for security offenses.
Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanou praised the “executor of the heroic act in Be’er Sheva. Our battle against the occupation continues and we will not stop.”
“The occupation’s crimes shall be met with heroic operations: stabbings, rammings and shootings,” al-Qanou said.
Tensions have risen in Israel and the Palestinian territories ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, slated to begin next month.
On Sunday, a 20-year-old Israeli police officer was wounded in a stabbing attack in the Arab neighborhood of Ras al-Amud in Jerusalem.
A day earlier, an Israeli man was wounded in another stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Saturday by a Palestinian terrorist.
Ah yes, I’m sure we all, Jews and Christians, remember celebrating the holy days during our youth and childhood when we would all go out and try to murder innocent people of a different faith and then our friends and neighbors would hand out candy and sweets if we managed to kill an old woman, a young child, anyone really. /bitter sarcasm.
The first time I ever went to Israel I stayed in Beer Sheva. I loved it. I had a tree with a planter around it that you could sit on out in front of the building. I’d take coffee and my book or journal out there of an evening and write in it, of a morning coffee and prayers. No one ever bothered me. It was a lovely city.
A gunman randomly killed at least five people when he opened fire on a busy street in Israel on Tuesday before he was taken out by cops, reports said.
The suspected terrorist shooting in Bnei Brak, an ultra-orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv, comes after two other attacks by Arab citizens that have sparked fear of ongoing violence ahead of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on Saturday.
…
The gunman was identified by the Jerusalem Post as Dia Hamarsha from Ya’bad, He was allegedly convicted in 2015 on arms dealing charges related to his affiliation with a terrorist group, the Post said.
With all these Arabs committing attacks that have previous records of crimes does anyone know if the criminal supporting “judge” Ketanji Jackson has been working in Israel? Obviously they were set loose to commit other crimes. Though we are assured Ketanji is a lovely lady by RINO Susan Collins Susan Collins to vote ‘yes’ on Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court, in first Republican backing Side note unrelated to current story, this is why you never ever send money to the republican party. Just don’t do it. Your welcome.
The two gunmen opened fire at a bus stop in the city, which was located near several restaurants. Both of the gunmen were killed by undercover police officers who happened to be eating nearby, according to The Times of Israel, and six others were wounded in the shooting.
Thankfully they appear not to have been “woke” cops.
The wave of terror continues in Israel. A Palestinian terrorist on Thursday morning boarded a public bus near the Etzion Bloc of Jewish settlements in Judea and stabbed a passenger with a screwdriver.
But the murderous plans of the would-be killer were quickly ended by an armed civilian who neutralized the threat.
Murad Barkat, a resident of the Abu Tur neighborhood of Jerusalem, has been indicted for the stabbing attack of a 35-year-old man about two weeks ago on Derech Hebron Street near the First Station plaza in the city.
The attack in Beer Sheva was stopped by armed citizens. The one in Hadera by off duty under-cover officers, the one in Bnei Brak was stopped by Police, one of whom was a Christian Arab officer who gave his life.
Haredi, religious Jews pay respects to Christian Arab policeman who gave his life to stop Bnei Brak terrorist attack
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We know during Rama-Damn that the Arabs celebrate their holy day by trying to kill innocent people. That it is praise worthy. So let’s look at some reactions to the most recent wave. Just a few.
“We the Jews are the very provocation, and until we vanish, the terror won’t end” This article has views from the political right and left. But for those that don’t know, Naftali Bennett, the current Prime Minister was head of a party called “Yamina” which means rightward. He campaigned saying he would never form alliances with the left. But Israel had a weird political system and no political party got the magic number of over 60 votes, so Bennett promptly formed an alliance with the left wing nut Benny Gantz who not only threw Jews out of their homes in Gaza (and that’s worked out so well) but the snakey Bennett had said in the past that Gantz should never become Defense Minister. So of course he joined forces with him and now Gantz is Defense Minister. He also enlisted Yair Lapid, and, wait for it, Mansoor Abbas. Head of the Arab the Arab joint list.
Abbas is also the Deputy Chairman of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement. That is not a small matter, given the fact that the Norther Branch of the Islamic Movement was outlawed in Israel.
Well of course he is. Always make political alliances with those trying to kill you in pursuit of personal power. And of course, Bennett can’t/won’t do anything to displease Abbas because if Abbass pulls out of the union, the government falls apart and it’s new elections. So you have a wave of Arabs murdering Israeli citizens and a PM who is scared to do what needs to be done. More on this in a minute.
Umm al-Fahm Mayor Dr. Samir Sobhi Mahamed withdrew his resignation after publishing a letter of condolence to the families of the terrorists who committed the deadly shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday.
Mahamed had announced his resignation in a live interview Thursday evening, only to announce he would remain in office a few hours later.
The words of condolence to the families of the terrorists were published on the official Facebook account of the Municipality of Umm al-Fahm, and were written on his behalf of all municipal employees and residents of the city.
Every terror-supporting Arab-Israeli should have their citizenship revoked, several Israelis said, in what appears to be a growing consensus.
Yes, yes they should. I believe Moshe Feiglin had a great plan for relocation. Sha’i ben-Tekoa has a fabulous plan. Any terrorist not killed committing a terrorist attack will be gathered up with their family taken to the Gaza border and shoved over with the clothes on their backs never to return. The doors will be taken off their house and it will be looted by their neighbors. Done deal.
“Those who dislike the current government will blame the government, those who oppose the occupation will blame the occupation,” said one Israeli man. “It’s all meaningless.”
Pro-tip: Don’t make alliances with those that hate you.
A new immigrant from Moldova, a mother of two, said what’s happening “feels like something new, a different style of terror. Especially when you hear of terror attacks being carried out with firearms instead of knives. You’re never safe, not even in your car, as we saw with one of Tuesday night’s victims.”
She, like many Israelis, feels the blame lies with the police who “had no problem surveilling Israelis who might be positive for COVID-19. How are they oblivious to organized terror attacks?
Ohhh, now that’s a really good question. The police can track and trace innocent people suspected of the crime of having a 99+% survivable flu, but not terrorists. Perhaps they need to re-examine their priorities?
Another Israeli woman, strolling through a local Holon park with her granddaughter, said she feels the attacks are retaliation for Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s Negev summit, which took place earlier this week with ministers from Abraham Accords nations, Egypt and the US. “It agitates [the Palestinians]. On the other hand, we don’t invest in their education, their infrastructure. It turns Palestinians resentful toward us.”
Um, Ma’am, they get “education” oh yes indeedy they do. And like the American school system that is churning out kids that are groomed for depravity from kindergarten on up but can’t do math or science they know all 57 genders by third grade. Falestinian UN-schools have school books that teach Jews stole the land, and its good for Arabs to kill them, so yep you’re investing in their education, it’s just not the education you hoped for. Much like American parents who are waking up.
Others have already decided to take security into their own hands. A father in his 30s revealed he is one of the many Israelis who have filed a request for a license to carry firearms.
And this brings me back to the start of my column. Israel has very strict gun laws. Firearm Licensing Department This is in English, but like the Torah:
The information provided in English is for explanatory purposes only. In case of any discrepancy, the definitive and binding version is the Hebrew wording of the law or the information provided by the Ministry of Public Security in Hebrew.
Government policy doesn’t turn on a dime. But now Naftali Bennett, is telling people to carry, if they can.
During the upcoming Islamic month-long holiday of Ramadan, which begins on Saturday, Palestinians traditionally ramp up their violent, unprovoked attacks on Israeli civilians. According to a Dutch study cited by the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, “Ramadan brought with it a 200% increase in terrorist attacks in Israel between 2005 and 2016.”
And Rama-Damn hasn’t even started.
Closing thoughts, for those that want to judge Israel severely, I point out in the past when there have been waves of condemnation towards Israel, similar things begin to happen to U.S. And with President Puddin’ Heads puppet masters planning to open the flood gates of illegal immigration there will soon be plenty of opportunity.
To the feckless Bennett, you knew they were snakes when you picked them up. Now everyone will suffer because of your desire to be PM. You call on everyday Israelis to solve the problem but you have them crippled with strict gun control laws. How do you expect that to work out? Thus the point in my platform; rifles, handguns and shotguns all have different purposes. Every Israeli (not household, each) citizen can be armed with no ammunition limit.
Both of our countries right now are being led by people that hate us, they say you get the government you deserve, and looking at all the craziness going on maybe so. But I didn’t think we’d been that bad. But, ultimately, it’s not what I think, it’s what G-d thinks. אין עוד מלבדו
I know, shocking that I’m not fielding phone calls from Israeli political parties isn’t it?
Things that you may not be hearing on the corporate media, that might be worth hearing.
First note, that Epoch Times which is a pretty accurate source of news, is using data from the U.K. Why you ask? Because it more honest than what our taxpayer funded agencies dish out. Going way back to the start of the Covid-19 scam. They counted it as a Covid death if they died with Covid, not necessarily from Covid. But other countries followed ferret faced Fauxci’s lead.
A report released by the UK government has confirmed that 9 out of every 10 deaths related to COVID-19 are found in those who are fully vaccinated. Although the virus variant is the same and the UK approved only one different vaccine (AstraZeneca) from the United States, the data in the U.S. are different. This may be due in large part to the CDC definition used to identify who is “vaccinated.”
U.S. data are also likely to become even more sparse in the coming weeks and months. In addition to the CDC hiding data, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) quietly decided in early February to stop recording deaths attributed to COVID-19.
Data Is Essential
Yet, data is the foundation of scientific analysis. Without it, researchers are unable to analyze statistics and draw conclusions, which leaves public health experts unable to make accurate recommendations. Knowledge gives you the power to make informed decisions based on evidence.
Data is essential, yes, yes it is. Knowing honest facts enable one to come to a correct opinion. Otherwise you are someone driving around in a car by yourself wearing a face diaper and re-breathing your own CO2.
The truth is: Yes, there are indeed biological research facilities in Ukraine that have been funded by our government. We don’t have any way to know whether these facilities were conducting research that was intended to produce weapons or not, but we do know that if the pathogens housed in these facilities escaped, they would be just as deadly as as an intentionally produced bioweapon.
Something that should be frontline on every corporate media station but probably will never be. <This message is brought to you by Murderna and Lie-zer. So I have no clue why it isn’t. /sarcasm.
An Indiana-based life insurance company is expressing concern over a substantial rise in deaths in adults eighteen to sixty-four years old in 2021 that cannot be explained simply by covid infections themselves.
What else is hidden? This twitter thread covers many things. Digital currency, programmable digital currency. You thought you were going on a trip? The government says no, and your currency will not pay for that ticket. Quite simple, but it’s all to keep you “safe”, just like that 4th jab Lie-zer CEO is earnestly assuring U.S. is necessary. There are other things in the thread as well, like the WHO global pandemic treaty. Oh that should work out well. The World Homicide Organization, I don’t claim credit for the clever word play, that goes to Dr. Zev.
Hat tip to my buddy in Nicaragua on this one. And what are those 5 things?

I think you can pretty much figure everything the world’s governments are pushing their citizens to do is going to be bad for them.
For example those electric cars Ginger Goebbels and “Mayor” Pete Butterhead keep pimping. I won’t even get into the cost of those, monetary and evironmental. But since it has nothing to do with saving the planet, why might they be doing that?
Well, seems to be a done deal. I don’t mean that our gov’t is composed of spineless weasels – that ship has sailed. But now we can expect an unlimited influx of non-Jewish Ukrainians, who have all of Europe to resettle in, and who don’t even pass the required Jewish grandfather clause to move to the one and only Jewish state of Israel. As long as they have some kind of relative living in Israel, the doors are opened to them. And no, having a relative in Israel does not make one Jewish. Plus, don’t think for one moment that if they want to come to Israel that it means they are not Jew-haters. Seriously? That’s almost funny.
One tiny Jewish nation in all of the world, and that’s one too many for some. One tiny country where no one is shocked there is no mass transit and stores aren’t open on Shabbat. One tiny nation where we can live according to G-d’s plan, and that’s one too many. One way or another the nations are determined to kill it, if they can’t in battle they will try from within. Just like the U.S. Our “leaders” and I use that term loosely have betrayed us. They are trying to destroy us from within.
And trying here would be the operative word. As I’ve been watching the dumpster fire known as the Xiden crime family’s administration I’m reminded of something I heard back before the elections. It was something I read, or something I heard. So if it was something I heard, it may have been from Rabbi Alon Anava’s interview with Tamar Yonah, but since this was in 2016 I don’t think this was it, but it’s still very good. https://israelnewstalkradio.com/tamar-yonah-show-nibiru-will-this-dwarf-star-wreak-havoc-on-earth-audio-🎧/
I’ll tell you right up front it was a battle not to quote the whole column it was so good. It was written the day after the “election” but the interviews and comments took place before it. Let the quoting begin. It mentions a video, that has been removed by YouTube. Of course.
Very early in the lecture, Anava declared that, “This election is going to change the entire face of the planet.” …. After his introduction, he spent a considerable amount of time sharing multiple Torah codes related to the presidency of Donald J. Trump and the coronavirus. Most significantly, he explained a fundamental difference between the way Jews and Christians understand Biblical texts. “The whole Torah is coded,” he taught, referring to the Hebrew text. “Many messages are not written in the verses. The text is just the revealed part. Hidden in it are many other messages.” …. Anava referred to both President Trump and contender Joe Biden as “puppets” who will be fulfilling the will of God, whatever happens at the polls. “Regardless of who wins, the outcome will be the same because HaKadosh Baruch Hu (the Holy One, Blessed is He) is driving the train,” Anava asserted. “The whole system is set up to bring the country to civil war, martial law and the end of the US. Either way you look at it, it’s going to bring the country down.
“America is done. America is going to go down and with it, the entire world. Why? Because Hashem is preparing the entire world to bring His messiah – Moshaich ben David (Messiah, son of David) – to come and redeem the entire world, not only the Jews. “There cannot be a redemption if there are governments. There cannot be a redemption if there are world leaders. Moshiach is going to come and remove the world leaders, so it’s really irrelevant who is going to win. …. For Jews and non-Jews, Anava said that, “idolatry is not bowing down to idols. It’s putting your faith in anything but Hashem (such as governments or vaccines). We have to believe only in the Master of the Universe.” Using the coronavirus as an example of how important it is to rely only on God, Anava said, “He’s the One who brought the disease and He’s the One who is going to remove it.”
Then in the same article, they quote another Rabbi also from Tzfat, Chaim David Targan.
The day before the election, Targan wrote that, “Today formally ends the age of the American Empire. If Biden wins, like Rome, America will crash and burn. If Trump prevails, its age will end gracefully, transferring its power, authority and sovereignty fully to the leaders of the geula (redemption) and successfully and joyfully completing the Tikkun of Eisav (Esau’s rectification). This would be great joy to Washington, Jefferson and Adams, who created America through Torah Wisdom as a tikkun for Eisav.” Like Anava, Targan is saying that America’s days are numbered. He adds the nuance that, depending on who ultimately wins yesterday’s election, the end of America will come harshly (under Biden) or gently (under Trump).
Honest, I didn’t quote the whole thing, there’s more there to read! But when I first heard that before the elections it stuck with me. Maybe because Rabbi Anava was involved, and ever since Y.B. Ben Avram, another TZP writer sent me his YouTube story, and like Rabbi Lazer Brody I wanted to learn what they had to teach. But maybe because I knew it was true. I didn’t see how it could be quite the dumpster fire it has become, but apparently I just didn’t realize how much the Xiden crime family regime hated U.S. They tried to hide it.
And that brings me to hidden. Do you know what’s remarkable about the story of Purim? G-d’s name is not mentioned once in the Megillah. His face is hidden. All the events that saved us were not miracles in the classic Red Sea splitting sense. They were miracles of right place, right time, right clout. Such as the king, while he couldn’t change the decree to kill all the Jews, he made another decree the Jews should fight back and defend themselves. Which they did, quite well. But we don’t believe in coincidence, we know who runs this show. We know who created this world and who runs it. This is a fabulous, inspiring article Why Isn’t G‑d’s Name Mentioned in the Megillah? Give yourself a treat and read it.
And with that thought in mind, that it is G-d that runs this show, whether we see his hand in things or not, we do not fear. I admit, I struggle with this from time to time, and one of the things I hold on to is something else I learned from Y.B., Ayin Od Milvado. אין עוד מלבדו There are none beside him.
It is all G-d, all the time, even when we don’t see him and he chooses to remain hidden he is there and like a child calling for their father in the dark of night, he hears us.
Our Torah tells you that you must not fear. Even if an army is charging towards you, you must not fear. For there is no danger worse than fear. But you are only human. Do you truly have control over the dread and panic pounding in your heart? Yes. Not directly, but through the power of your mind. If you will choose not to dwell on those things that instill panic and dread, those emotions will wither and fade. And the choice is yours. What do you want to speak about? What do you want to think about? For the thoughts of your mind are the conduit of life for the emotions of your heart.
Even when we can’t see him or his strong right arm in the events or people, אין עוד מלבדו
Something else I learned from Y.B.
Jews. Guns. No compromise. No surrender.
