Missing Chuck Norris

April 13, 2026 Sheila Stokes 3 Comments

I’ve was a long time fan of Chuck Norris, starting probably in the late 1970s, yes I’m that old. His passing on 19 March of this year has been sad for me in a way. It’s losing another person that I had looked up to for a long time. And it wasn’t without good reason. Not only did Chuck play strong, moral, very competent men in his shows, be they movie or TV, he was always pro-America. And yes, he was handsome. According to one interview I saw he was very aware of his image and refused to take any roles that would cast him in a bad light. He had been a role model for hundreds, maybe thousands of martial arts students long before he became a big actor. He didn’t want to take roles that showed him using drugs, stealing or doing anything immoral or dishonest. He wanted to be a role model that showed doing good was the “cool” thing to be and to do. Andrew Breitbart was 100% spot on when he said “Politics is downstream from culture”. I would maintain we need Chuck more now than ever.

Chuck was evidence that even coming from very humble beginnings if you are willing to work hard you can make something wonderful of yourself. He grew up with his two brothers Wieland and Aaron, and at 14 Chuck was rushing home from school to help his Mom. He babysat his two brothers while she worked, often the night shift, as a waitress. I recently re-read his autobiography, The Secret of My Inner Strength. But I guess I should say good luck finding it. It is a very inspiring book, and I’m actually shocked it’s not available as an e-book. He comes across as a very honest, humble down to earth man. He’s honest about mistakes, and lessons learned from them. I don’t believe that is something you see from many/any in Hollywood these days.

But he didn’t just make kick-butt movies and TV shows, literally. He was a kick-butt guy in real life. He and his second wife Gena started Kickstart Kids to help at risk kids. I’ve seen some YouTubes where officials are talking about the statistics and the difference that Kickstart Kids has made. How much higher the kids score in class, how they stay in school, are never involved in trouble. He and Gena were making a difference in the future of our country by helping bring up young people of value and character. I’m sure Gena will carry on. The few clips that have come out since Chuck’s passing seem to indicate she is pretty committed to carrying on his legacy and wishes. Honestly my heart breaks for her. They seem to have been a very happy couple and family life seems to have been one of his highest priorities as well as his relationship with G-d, and being a good Christian.

And Chuck was very aware of the youth in our country. He was sort of Charlie Kirk before Charlie Kirk, Youth Vote Is Key to 2016 and Saving America. This was written in January of 2015.

At the same time, there is still a high level of social and political mistrust among millennials. Therefore, I believe, for the next two years, we the people have a unique ability to help change our country by reaching out to young people in our own lives and our circles of influence. We shouldn’t wait for our political party or presidential candidate to lead the way in reaching young voters. At the very least, as parents and grandparents, we need to be the primary models, mentors and motivators in the lives of youths and not leave those roles to other educators or influencers.

As trusted loved ones and friends, we need to educate, inspire and challenge millennials to fight for what’s right in America, not merely what may be generationally favored, socially expedient or of personal interest. We must remind them of the importance of our republic’s history and legacy and that it’s all of our duty to set aside self and uphold the founding tenets of our country — to fight to preserve what has been handed to us. If we lay the groundwork in young people’s lives, they will be more apt to align themselves with a candidate who does the same, even if he or she runs on a platform that’s a bit contrary to their generational preferences or agenda.

And in February of 2015 he was bringing awareness to The Defend Freedom Tour speaking up for our Veterans and the scandals of the VA at the time, he was correct, our Veterans deserve better. His Missing in Action films were dedicated to his brother Wieland who was killed in Viet Nam.

Veteran, Patriot, and Christian Chuck Norris Fought for Our Troops and POW/MIAs

Norris was a veteran, having served in the United States Air Force as an Air Policeman from 1958 to 1962. His younger brother, Wieland Clyde Norris, a private in the 101st Airborne Division, was killed in June 1970 in Vietnam during the defense of Firebase Ripcord. Norris dedicated the Missing in Action films to his younger brother and was a consistent supporter of POW/MIA causes. He also served as a spokesperson for the Veterans Administration National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans.

Norris led USO tours, visiting troops in Iraq and beyond. He was made an honorary Marine, though the U.S. Marine Corps later joked about it in a tweet, saying it was the other way around: “Chuck Norris didn’t join the Marine Corps; the Marine Corps applied to him.”

He set a personal goal of meeting every Marine deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, shaking each one’s hand. By his own account, Norris shook hands with 37,000 U.S. troops in 2006 alone. He also visited the Task Force 399th Combat Support Hospital at Al Asad Air Base in 2007, signing autographs for wounded Marines.

Troops renamed military vehicles “Truck Norris,” and his image appeared throughout the country. Norris himself wrote about arriving in Iraq to find troops holding a sign reading, “Chuck Norris is here. We can now go home.”

The military’s secret language had a name: Chuck Norris

To most Americans, Norris was a martial artist and action hero. To generations of service members, he also became the centerpiece of a strange, durable mythology. The Chuck Norris jokes — absurd, hyperbolic, endlessly recycled — turned into more than throwaway lines. They became part of the emotional vocabulary of military life.

My combat deployment was no exception. Chuck Norris jokes covered bathroom walls, T-barriers, and whiteboards. They showed up during rocket attacks, after sniper fire, and in the lulls between incoming mortar fire. In a world built on danger and uncertainty, those ridiculous one-liners delivered something surprisingly useful: familiarity, laughter, and a brief reminder of invincibility.

That mattered more than civilians might think.

At one time he was a Democrat, but Chuck Norris Explains Why He Left the Democrat Party — ‘They Went Too Far to the Left and Lost All Reality of What America Stood For’ And the interview took place in 2014.

“I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left… and lost all reality of what America stood for.”

“And so, I realized that Republicans… are more focused on what is best for America,” Norris continued.

Norris went on to explain that the parties essentially switched places over time.

“What the Democrats believed forty years ago, the Republicans believe today… The Democrats just got too far off the trail. They just got completely [off] and lost all reality of what America stood for,” he said.

He was very politically savvy, and he used his platform to try to raise awareness of issues penning a two part column My Top 10 Resolutions for the New Congress (Part 1) and My Top 10 Resolutions for the New Congress (Part 2) written in January of 2015. He covered topics like repealing Obamacare, fiscal debt, the 10^th Amendment, fiscal sanity and fair tax. And as I read through it everything he wrote still applies today.

In addition to urging people to engage the youth, and help them realize their vote shapes their future, he and his wife Gena urged the faith community to become more engaged. Especially in voting, telling them sitting out elections leads to disastrous consequences.

Chuck Norris Issues Dire Warning to America written in September of 2012.

“We are here to talk about a growing concern we all share,” Chuck Norris explains. “If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We’re at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course in which our country is headed.”

Gena warns that voter apathy among evangelicals in 2008 may have contributed to Obama’s election in the first place.

“With our country at a crossroads, Chuck and I have asked ourselves what we can be doing to help support this great country we’re blessed to live in and how we can encourage our like-minded American brothers and sisters to unite and let their voices be heard,” she said. “It is estimated that in the 2008 election, 30 million evangelical Christians stayed home on voting day and Obama won the election by 10 million votes.”

Chuck cautions Christians about the cost of doing nothing while the nation spirals into a state of socialism from which there will be no return.

He wrote his book Black Belt Patriotism in 2008, and that book you can still get, at least as an eBook.

And today we have podcasters and influencers, some of which President Trump recently labeled as “Low IQ” urging people to sit out the mid-terms, vote Demoncrat or stating the Republican party needs to be burned down. When you look at what Demoncrats are offering explain to me how they can consider that America first? Not only are they deranged, they’re insane. How is that even remotely good for our country. Are Republicans perfect? Oh heck no, but are they better? Yes. And you get to pick between the two. So.

The final Chuck topic I will bring up, probably, is illegal immigration. This man was a martial artist, and part of their success is being able to read their opponent, to see how if they make this move then it could be countered by this move or by doing that. You look down the road at how things can be extrapolated. This video clip was posted seventeen years ago, seventeen years!

Not only was he worried about illegal invaders, he was very worried about terrorism. Invasion USA was made in 1985 and involved a large number of terrorists dressing as people you’d normally trust, police, fire, medical or military and committing acts of terrorism. And then there were other that just went into neighborhoods and destroyed them. Either way, the social fabric of America was being destroyed because the trust in the structure of government was gone. All of that was synchronized across places in America. Again, made in 1985, but we’d never have that many terrorists in America to pull that off, right? Actually it didn’t look like all that many came in, some were sleeper cells that were already here. While the ending may have been slightly improbable, it was still great.

Which brings me to the last Chuck Norris movie I want to discuss. The Delta Force, it was filmed in 1986, partly in Israel and with the help of the Israeli government. They loaned them a plane. Chuck was very pro-Israel. I wonder if such a movie could ever be made today. The Jews aren’t the villains, the muslim terrorists are, and they were in the movie. The events, circumstance as players in that movie are still the same today. Lebanon still can’t free itself from Hezbollah, the formerly majority Christian country is now another Islamic occupied territory with a shrinking Christian population although right now Israel is giving them some hope. As the Hezbollah terrorists flee north, some of the Christian communities are fighting them as they try to take cover in their communities. They don’t want them. Hezbollah has been operating in Lebanon under the noses of the useless UN for years now. There is a line in The Delta Force when Joey Bishop talked about having been in Lebanon years ago and how beautiful it was. Islam destroys everything. My Anatolian Shepherd Shimshon and I have been binge re-watching Chuck Norris movies, his favorite is of course, Top Dog. But when we watched Delta Force this time, it had a far more powerful impact on me than when I saw it the first time. This time when the separated the Jewish men from their families it just tore me up. There were several parts of that movie that seemed harder this time. But nothing has changed, Islamic terrorists take hostages, Iran is a threat, it’s proxies are a threat and American weakness invites more of the same. The thought that a group of people that have occupied a country, terrorized it’s citizens and committed acts of terrorism against U.S. for 47 years and thinks they will bring on their messiah by plunging the world into chaos and covering it with blood and think when they are killed as a martyr they go to heaven and get 72 virgin goats are not going to be inclined to want a peace treaty. Now a ceasefire, sure. Re-arm, re-group, re-calibrate, re-supply, reload and resume. It’s the muslim terrorist way. For 47 years they’ve been chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”. But the left and the woke reich would have you believe they don’t mean it, they can’t do it, they wouldn’t do it. They do, and they’ve been doing it. Chuck was sounding the alarm on Islam.

Of course, many Americans watch on video a Middle Eastern woman allegedly caught in adultery, buried in the ground up to her head and being stoned to death, and think, “That could never happen in America.” But they fail to see how Shariah law has already been enabled and subtly invoked in our country, and that any such induction like it is brought about by understated lukewarm changes, like a frog boiled in a kettle by a slow simmer.

In April 2011 he started a series for WorldNetDaily called Holy Week Holy Shariah. Another in that series was Top 10 U.S. Shariah infiltrations, Part 2

I’ll say what I said at the outset of the last column: It is no mystery that radical Islamists intend to use the freedoms in our Constitution to expand the influence of Shariah law. But, still, too many Americans don’t know or understand how it threatens the very fabrics of our republic.

This is something Dr. Gad Saad often references. It’s not a secret, the muslims talk about the methods they will use to conquer the west. And those columns were written fifteen years ago. The reception of the columns at the time seems to have been derision. Because the left has to actually be thrown off the building themselves before they just even become willing to look at the truth. However much you despise the left wing media who don’t even attempt to hide their bias at the point, you don’t hate them enough. Note the difference in how the death of Rob Reiner openly hard core leftist was covered vs how the death of Chuck Norris, openly patriotic and conservative was covered.

And today, we have this Muslim Activists Now Say The Alamo Is An Islamic Structure. I want to make it extremely clear, this is not satire.

I see the Muslims are running the same play as they did in Jerusalem in 637 AD!

….

Leftist activists want social studies classes to talk more about Islam’s longstanding impact on Texas history

Outside of the Islamic invasions that destroyed the Byzantine Empire and forced Europeans to sail West, there was no impact that Islam had on Texas’ founding.

But now they are claiming the Alamo is Muslim, actually.

I notice they didn’t try that nonsense until after Chuck had been gone for about a month.

I’ll leave you with a couple more things, a column with a nice synopsis of Chucks thoughts on different topics. What Chuck Norris Taught Us: Quotes on Strength, Discipline, and Life

And Glen Beck talking about how Chuck touched his an his son’s life when the boy was having troubles. And Glen said Chuck was like that with all the kids he met. Glenn Beck reflects on the death of his friend Chuck Norris

Ok, I changed my mind, one last Chuck Norris movie story. When Firewalker came out, I wanted to go see it and I wanted my Dad to go with me. He’d never seen a Chuck Norris movie, and I just felt he might really like them. Firewalker was definitely on the lighter side. So he finally gave in, we went, and another Chuck Norris fan was born.

Perhaps one of the most iconic fight scenes, and a fabulous friendship, Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.

Rest in peace Chuck, you earned it. A man that modeled decency, honesty, goodness, faith, family, self-reliance and being prepared to defend yourself however you need. Perhaps he inspired people to seek G-d, to ask for knowledge and wisdom. To find courage to do the right thing, just because it’s the right thing. Even if it make you a lone wolf.

Carrying Concealed With Misplaced Compassion

February 1, 2026 Sheila Stokes 2 Comments

In the wake of the Renee Good incident, I thought the left might rein in their rabid activists. Maybe, just maybe. I mean apparently they’ve all been told they can attack law enforcement with impunity. The worst that might happen is being arrested. Not too worry, deep pockets will bail you out.

There is a lot of video out there on Renee Good, a proud member of ICE watch, trained to track, harass and attack ICE officers as they attempt to removed the more criminal of the illegal invaders. She had been following ICE all morning on January 7^th after dropping her son, she only had custody of the one child, off at his progressive school with it’s focus on social justice. She blocked off a street with her SUV, let a few cars through that were also members of her group and then blocked agents. And that’s when she escalated things. Told to get out of her car, she didn’t and her wife decided it would be a really brave cool thing to antagonize agents, so that’s the mindset. Some on the left have tried to say she was scared or trying to do a three point turn. She was filmed sitting in her car, blocking the road playing a jaunty little tune by her blaring car horn and bouncing along to the beat in her SUV. Agents went to remove her, her wife started yelling at her to drive, videos from the officer’s body cam shows her staring straight at him as she revs the engine and moves forward. As some have pointed out, if it hadn’t been a bit icy she’d have hit the officer a lot harder. Which, is what she was trying to do. The officer she hit has been to the rodeo before. About six months before he was hit by an illegal invader, drug and required surgery. The left attempted to excuse Renee again saying she just barely bumped him. He went to the hospital with internal injuries. Why exactly is it the left thinks that they can commit acts of violence and if it doesn’t cause as much harm as they intended, it will be excused?

However, the agent objected to being struck by the car, and shot her. I’m appalled she attacked the agent using her big SUV as a weapon, and on top of that she had her innocent dog in the car. No I’m not even kidding. I wonder if I’m the only one that can easily see this woman speeding to get away from law enforcement, or to get to her next harass ICE location and hitting an innocent bystander, or someone crossing the road, or, while less likely still possible, a group of people that show up to rally in support of ICE. Because when you’re on the left, rules don’t matter, just your ideology does.

So one would think such things might cause the left to say we need to get a grip here, this is going to far. That one would be wrong. There’s money in them thar rape whistles. Although I don’t think the left has a firm grasp that rape whistles are to be used if they’re attacked by a rapist. Not to warn the rapists that law enforcement is there to arrest them. Those leftists do love them some rapists, domestic abusers, child rapists, pedophiles of every sort, thieves. Heck there’s no criminal the left doesn’t love, especially illegal invaders. As long as they aren’t peacefully and patriotically carrying an American flag. That’s a bridge too far for the left.

Which brings us to what I would consider to be a Veteran’s Administration hiring error named Alex Pretti. So the late Mr. Pretti worked as an ICU nurse at the VA. A hospital that takes care of men who have served their country. And we had Mr. Pretti who spends his free time harassing men who are currently serving their country and trying to deport criminal illegal invaders. You know, like the kind the men in the VA were trying to keep out. I still shake my head at that. Those poor poor patients. Because when you see the actions of Mr. Pretti, I have a pretty good idea he may not have been too good at hiding his ideology in his patient care. Now, I’m basing that one the number of nurses that have come out recently proudly wishing harm on everyone from a pregnant press secretary to MAGA people in general, including threats to harm them while in their care. That’s not a big reach. A couple of nurses were fired not that long ago in Australia for bragging they would kill Jews in their care. More recently a Jewish victim of the Bondi beach massacre had her name changed and her religion removed from her record by the hospital while she was a patient there. They tried to tell her it was for press reasons, but what it came down to was they were afraid their “multi-culti” staff would try to kill her. Something has gone horribly wrong in the medical profession. And what’s more frightening are the number of medical staff that feel that way, and would do those things but are smart enough not to make videos bragging about it.

Which brings us back to Mr. Pretti. The media has made much of him having a concealed carry permit. I’ve taken three CCW classes. I like them, each taught by a different teacher, all had excellent wisdom and experience to impart. One lawyer, two police officers from two different departments. You know what I learned from all of them? Be polite, be courteous, and when dealing with law enforcement, be EXCRUCIATINGLY polite. When it comes to protests, one of the best things I’ve heard came from Tyrus on the Greg Gutfeld show. He said protesters show up, wave signs, chant, play drums and if very aggressive, they sing at you. He said what we’re seeing isn’t protesters, it’s domestic terrorists. I’d say yup, paid domestic terrorists. Dark Money and Foreign Influence: Global Network Funding Anti-ICE Protests. And there are a lot of groups and people involved. So was Alex Pretti paid? I dunno. But he was not rational, and had no business being around vulnerable American Veterans. So how did he get un-alived, I guess that’s the word now?

Well, this video is from Officer Tatum, whom I do respect quite a bit and he was a police officer so he has some insight and knowledge some of the other clips won’t have. I’d like to point out this video came out right after the shooting, before any other videos came out. Why I’m pointing this out is at one point in here Officer Tatum will tell you Alex’s actions would have led to the loss of his concealed carry permit, and what exactly those actions were. And guest Andrew gives specific #s at about 11:24

All video clips I will start at the relevant part.

Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t Alex Pretti’s first physical confrontation with law enforcement. No, he was sporting a broken rib from a previous violent altercation with them. From which he apparently learned nothing. Although, since it’s Minneapolis, maybe he leared nothing. And for this video of his previous engagement, I’m going to use this clip from Aaron Prager, because well, it features narration by Fauxcahontas Warren.

For a nurse to make a habit of spitting at people I find shocking actually. I’m sure that video is a proud moment for the VA where he worked. Yesh. Maybe they should see if they can hire people that don’t hate America?

Here’s some fun figures I saw going around:

Deportations vs Protests.

Clinton; 12.5m-Protests: 0

Bush: 10m-Protests: 0

Obama: 5.2m-Protests: 0

Biden: 7m-Protests: 0

Trump: 1.2m-Protests: THOUSANDS

Obama-Era Report on ICE-Related Deaths Proves How Hypocritical Hysteria Over Alex Pretti’s Death Really Is

….

Well, here’s where things get interesting. Years before the Biden presidency launched an era of border lawlessness unprecedented in U.S. history, and caused the illegal immigration invasion Trump is cleaning up, Obama had a reputation in leftist circles as “deporter in chief.”

….

More to the point, on matters of life and death, an Obama-era report published by the leftist American Civil Liberties Union found that by February 2016, there had been 56 deaths of individuals in ICE custody since Obama took office in 2009. Leftists blamed the majority of the deaths on substandard medical care.

Remember the establishment media hysteria that greeted the news that more than half a hundred individuals had met their ends while in ICE’s hands during the Obama years? Probably not.

Remember the screeds branding Obama a “Nazi”? No.

Remember Obama himself grandstanding on the topic of American “core values” under assault? Of course not.

Interesting, no?

But these leftists are demonic. I’m not even kidding. Recently two different law enforcement officers had their fingers bitten by feral female leftists. One of them bit the end of the finger off.

ICE officer after attack by leftist demon

Women charged with biting Border Patrol agents’ fingers following Alex Pretti shooting You do notice that’s plural, correct?

Two women are accused of biting the fingers of separate border patrol agents following the shooting death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Claire Louise Feng, of St. Paul, and Emily Duchateau Baierl, of Minneapolis, have both been charged with assault.

….

According to charges, around 9:25 a.m., Feng allegedly tackled a border patrol agent who was attempting to arrest another woman. At that point, a second agent attempted to pull Feng away, and took her to the ground – at which point she “forcibly bit the right ring finger of [the second agent].” The injury left the agent with a tip of his finger bitten off, charges allege.

Dig deeper:

At the same time, charges state that Baierl allegedly bit the middle finger of an officer who was attempting to remove her mask after allegedly being spotted throwing objects at agents.

Neither woman was “peacefully protesting”. They both physically assaulted law enforcement. I hope the demons go to jail. They aren’t safe to be on the loose. If they’re willing to do that to armed law enforcement? I just hope they’ve had their shots, I’d be wondering what kind of diseases they’re carrying.

But they are far from alone.

This doesn’t seem to happen in states who have elected adults. Police Cam Footage Shows Moment Anti-ICE Agitator Manhandled After Punching Florida Trooper in the Face She is proud of herself, grinning like a possum as she gets put on the hood of the police cruiser. Very proud of herself.

I’ve got two more final thoughts for you. One is from Nissim Black, and I’m putting this video out for two reasons. The first part shows some video of other astounding attacks on law enforcement that should have been on the news, jaw dropping. The mindset of these mentally ill people is shocking. The Arizona AG is far from the only one urging people to kill law enforcement officers. And at the final part with the Border Patrol agent guarding a store and he’s asking where local police department is? I wonder if those Minneapolis officers that have left ICE and Border Patrol to twist in the wind at the tender mercies of the paid mobs have realized these mobs have now learned they can attack law enforcement with impunity. Did they think that one through?

So we’ll start with that, then I’ll tell you another reason I picked Nissim’s video.

https://youtu.be/nxlFEFgzpzk?t=57

I think watching the whole thing is worthwhile. After the clips he talks about why he thinks this is happening. Misplaced mercy. I think he’s generous. I think they are evil. But I do agree with him that this may be the disintegration of our society. Because they truly believe that they are on the side of angels protecting criminals. They side with dictators, cruel people, terrorists against decent people just trying to live their lives. He also ties it back to Tanak.

I also think Tim Poole takes it a step further about how this will play out when it goes too much further. And I’m afraid he’s correct.

This is a very important video, and I think he raises a lot of very valid questions about the right vs the left in a civil war. While it may be heartening to think the left is all blue and pink hair loons, they quite possibly are three steps ahead of us.

It has been said if you are kind to the cruel, eventually you will be cruel to the kind. I think we’re there.

Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: Anyone who becomes compassionate when he should be cruel will ultimately become cruel when he should be compassionate, as it is stated: “And Nov, the city of priests, he smote by sword” (I Samuel 22:19). Should Nov not be like descendants of Amalek? The Rabbis say: Anyone who becomes compassionate when he should be cruel, ultimately, the attribute of justice will harm him, as it is stated: “Saul and his three sons died” (I Samuel 31:6).

14 And My people, upon whom My name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways, I shall hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14

Cautionary Tales of Disarmament

July 18, 2025 Sheila Stokes 1 Comment

There are two groups of people right now that are being pushed to disarm. First we might look at the PKK in Turkey. The PKK are Kurds who have the misfortune to live in the Islamic country of Turkey, and for some unfathomable reason Turkey has been a NATO member since 1952. The history of Turkey’s treatment of the Kurds in their country is quite remarkable. Horrible, but remarkable.

Human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey

Notables include tens of thousands of Kurds murdered by Turkery, and as in Eastern Ukraine which banned the use of Russian language, dress, customs and holidays for the ethnically Russian population of Ukraine, Turkey banned

The use of Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names were banned, and the Kurdish-inhabited areas remained under martial law until 1946. In an attempt to deny an existence of a Kurdish ethnicity, the Turkish government categorized Kurds as “Mountain Turks” until the 1980s. The words “Kurds”, “Kurdistan”, and “Kurdish” were officially banned by the Turkish government.Following the military coup of 1980, the Kurdish language was officially prohibited in public and private life. Many people who spoke, published, or sang in Kurdish were arrested and imprisoned.

Another Dark Year for Kurds in Turkey Under the Current Leadership

On March 20, the United States Department of State (DOS) released its annual 2022 Country Report on Human Rights Practices. Turkey’s section shed light on the numerous violations of the Turkish government against various minority groups, the lion’s share of which targeted Kurds. A non-exhaustive list of the Turkish government’s atrocities against the Kurdish population includes military operations against civilians, restrictions on freedom of speech, jailing politicians, attacks on the press, and forced displacement of civilian populations.

This has been going on a long time. But now the PKK has decided to disarm. Actually Erdogan is in a bit of a pickle. His popularity seems to have dipped enough he’s followed places like Ukraine and certain states in the U.S. who attempt to prevent elections due to ________ or imprison, kick off the ballot or kill their political opponent as some states in the U.S. did.

Kurdish militants say they’ll disarm in favor of politics. Will Turkey respond?

On the Turkish side, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the PKK decision was “historic” and “opened another critical chapter on our path toward a terror-free Turkey.” The PKK is designated a terror group by Turkey, the United States, and European Union.

Yet Turkey’s long-standing leader also has his own domestic reasons for embracing the end of insurgency, as he looks for legal ways to secure a third term in 2028, says Ms. Aydıntaşbaş.

“While [Erdoğan] looks very powerful, he also can sense that there’s a significant drop in his popularity,” she says. “His secular rivals like the mayor of Istanbul – who he imprisoned – are gaining ground. He still has to win elections and push through constitutional changes to extend his reign. All that requires Kurdish support.”

So the deal is, Erdogen wants more power, he thinks he needs the Kurds to achieve that. Supposedly with the PKK laying down their weapons they will now begin to try to achieve their goals through diplomatic and political paths. But since the Erdogan regime isn’t being real forthcoming about some of these plans, the Kurds quite correctly have some trepidation about the disarmed future. But they did it, they had a big old disarmament ceremony.

Let me see, Turkey has controlled and abused them for 40 years, and now that they’re disarmed and they’re defenseless things are going to get better under the Islamic dictator Erdogan? If they treat you like that when your armed, how exactly do you think long term this will turn out when you’re defenseless?

Next we move on to Syria.

The Curious Case of Mouaz Moustafa

December 2024 marked a stunning turning point in Syria’s bloody civil war. After poison gas attacks, mass killings, rape, torture, and abductions left millions displaced and hundreds of thousands dead—and turned Syria into a veritable wasteland in desperate need of foreign aid and investment—the regime led by Bashar al-Assad finally collapsed.

In its place rose a new government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the former leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a designated terrorist organization once affiliated with al-Qaeda. While many cheered al-Sharaa’s ascendancy, others worried that his jihadist history would put religious minorities, especially Syria’s Alawite population—which served as the base of support for the Assad regime—at risk.

And about 15 minutes later those worries were born out. There is a lot of documentation on this.

UN-Defended, from TZP, but there are others as well.

2025 massacres of Syrian Alawites

Syrian forces massacred 1,500 Alawites. The chain of command led to Damascus.

The abominable massacre of Christians and Alawites in Syria and the urgent need for an immediate and decisive EU response

Syria’s Transitional Honeymoon Is Over After Massacres and Disinformation

In Syria, Sunni Muslim militias are killing Alawites and Christians

EU disinformation on the murders of Christians and Alawites in Syria

‘Streets piled with bodies: Syrians report massacres of Alawite and Christian civilians’. The facts are devastating: reports point to a wave of killings in Syria targeting Alawites and Christians, including ten women and five children. On 10 March 2025, BFMTV reported that 745 civilians, mainly Alawites, had been massacred in the Latakia region between 6 and 8 March 2025 by Syrian regime forces and their allies.

However, in a statement of 8 March 2025, ‘diplomats’ from the European External Action Service (EEAS) completely ignored these ongoing massacres, attributing the attacks to ‘pro-Assad elements’. This is blatant disinformation that damages the EU’s reputation.

1. Can the Commission verify the EEAS statement that the recent attacks on civilians, including Christians and Alawites, are being carried out by ‘pro-Assad elements’ alone, or does it acknowledge that the new regime is involved in the massacres of civilians?

2. Has the Commission urged the interim Syrian Government to put an end to the massacres by government forces or Islamist factions of children, women, civilians and prisoners from the Alawite and Christian communities?

3. How much financial assistance has the new Syrian Government received from the EU since December 2024?

The HTS terrorist Al Julani who by now had received his CNN makeover ala Zelensky, said he would rein in his HTS terrorists. Luckily Biden’s auto pen had taken him off the terrorist watch list and removed the 10 million bounty on Al Julani’s head. Because nobody loves a terrorist like the demoncrat party these days.

Biden Admin Drops $10M Bounty for Terrorist Who Took Over SyriaThe Jihadists are our friends now.

But Al Julani said he would get a handle on these atrocities. Syria leader vows to hunt down those responsible for bloodshed. Then of course he did(nt).

But to be fair, Repubs love them some terrorists too. Although I’m willing to chalk this up to trying to curry favor with some other muslim countries that were pushing him to give the terrorist Al Julani a break. Trump Lifts Sanctions on Syria to Support ‘Path to Stability and Peace’

But the point with all that is the world and the UN were well aware of the slaughter of Alawites and Christians taking place in Syria and their rapid response was????? Nothing. The only country that helped them at all was Russia. The sheltered some at a military base. Those that could make it there anyway. The world and the U.N. had absolutely no interest in the slaughter of Alawites and Christians by Islamic terrorists. At least not enough to do anything.

More than 1,000 killed in Syrian crackdown on Alawite region, war monitor says

Several hundred, mostly women and children and elders, sought refuge at a Russian Mediterranean military base at Hmeimim in Latakia, according to footage from the scene and two people familiar with the matter.

Which brings me to my next point Alawites and Christians Slaughtered: Syrian Massacre Death Toll Reaches 7,000

At the same time, another Greek MEP, Emmanouil Fragkos, filed a request to the European Public Prosector’s Office for a European Arrest Warrant on Syria’s so-called president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group for Crimes Against Humanity, saying that the killings were “with the intent to reduce the population that does not express political support for the Al-Qaeda faction that has taken power in Syria.”

The killings have been so brutal and shocking that the Alawite leaders, once under the protection of Iran, the Assad regime, and Hezbollah, appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Save us from the brutal regime, we will welcome you with songs and flowers.” This appeal would have been unimaginable only last month, but the Alawites are now facing an existential threat that they now see Netanyahu as a protector after he warned the new Syrian regime that Israel would intervene if they attacked the Druze.

Well, I suppose at least the Greeks filed a strongly worded letter….but look at who the Alawites begged for help. Netanyahu and Israel. Why? Because Israel is a protector of the Druze. TZP discussed the Druze back in 2020 Shukran Druze 2020 if you want some history.

This fairly short video has some good information and history on the relationship between the Druze of Syria, Lebanon and Israel. And I believe there may be some in Jordan. The Druze are of the Abrahamic faith, and Moshe’s father in law was Druze. They have a strong tie in Israel, serving in the military and police forces. They are brave, honest and strong warriors. Perhaps you’ll remember last year a Hezbollah rocket his the town of Majdal Shams. The Druze didn’t take it kindly and basically told the Israeli government, you avenge our children, or we will. Unlike the American government, they have a firm grasp on how things work in the mid-east.

This recent attack on the Druze was started by Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes kidnapping a young Druze fruit vendor. The Druze wanted him back and set about retrieving him. Hostilities erupted. The terrorist Al Julani government sent it’s government troops.

In May the Syrian terrorist government had begun demanding the Druze turn in their weapons.

Syrian Druze refuse to disarm citing fear of sectarian attacks by state force

Probably smart on their part.

Some 100 people were killed in the fighting, including the Druze mayor of Sahnaya, who was executed by members of the government’s General Security forces after welcoming them into the town.

Syrian authorities have negotiated agreements with Druze leaders to allow their local fighters to protect their own areas as enlisted members of Syria’s security forces, known as General Security, but this week, they asked that all weapons held by residents of these areas be turned in to the state.

“We told them, as soon as there is a state capable of regulating its forces, we’ll have no problem handing in our weapons,” said Makram Obeid, a member of the Jaramana committee that is negotiating with the Syrian government.

Obeid told Reuters that his committee had advised government officials it would be better for them to focus on disarming the Sunni extremists in their own forces, who are now harassing minorities.

“It’s our right to be scared, because we saw what happened in other areas,” he expressed to Reuters.

So when the most recent attack against the Druze began, they were doing their best to hold off the Bedouins, and then the terrorist government sent in their “security forces”.

The massacres and humiliation began.

Bodies and looted homes: Syria’s Druze reeling after Sweida bloodshed

One elderly man had been shot in the head in his living room. Another in his bedroom. The body of a woman lay in the street. After days of bloodshed in Syria’s Druze city of Sweida, survivors emerged on Thursday to collect and bury the scores of dead found across the city.

A ceasefire overnight brought an end to ferocious fighting between Druze militia and government forces sent to the city to quell clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters.The violence worsened sharply after the arrival of government forces, according to accounts to Reuters by a dozen residents of Sweida, two reporters on the ground and a monitoring group.

Residents described friends and neighbours being shot at close range in their homes or in the streets. They said the killings were carried out by Syrian troops, identified by their fatigues and the insignia on them.

The National Hospital of Suwayda was attacked, every doctor, nurse and patient were murdered. The Syrian government terrorist is thanking Allah for being greater than the G-d of the Druze. The Druze do not consider themselves Muslims. If the video disappears from Twitter, I have the file.

https://x.com/joshua_landis/status/1945555281825411328

This will come as a shock to no one except perhaps President Trump and Steve Witkoff. President Trump’s opinion of Al Julani?

“Young, attractive guy, tough guy, strong past, very strong past – fighter. But he’s got a real shot at pulling it together,” Trump said.

Syrian regime forces execute Druze civilians, reports say: ‘Adopted brutal tactics’

Fierce fighting continued Tuesday in Syria’s Druze-majority province of Sweida between Druze fighters and armed Bedouin militias, who are reportedly receiving backing from forces loyal to President Ahmad al-Sharaa. Despite claims by the Syrian regime that it entered the area to restore calm, eyewitnesses say regime forces are aiding the Bedouins and participating in atrocities—including the summary execution of Druze civilians.

By this time the Druze of Israel and Lebanon had just about enough of this and began to head to Syria, on foot.

Israel had made an agreement with the Druze, they made it clear to the Islamic Syrian terrorist government, leave the Druze alone when Al Julani took over.

And so Israel made good. IDF strikes Syrian military headquarters and presidential palace in Damascus

They have also struck Al Julani’s terrorist forces on their way to increase their attacks.

Israel Lauches 160 Aerial Attacks in Syria, including Against Military Headquarters in Damascus

And….the media reacted rather predictably. Now I will admit, I was pretty shocked to see this headline from The National Pulse, they used to be pretty accurate. Israel Just Started ANOTHER War. Did they write anything about the innocent Druze civilians slaughtered? Nope. Anything about everyone in a hospital shot and murdered? Nope. Anything about the agreement between Israel and the Druze? Nope. Just “Israel Just Started ANOTHER war. “ They did however mention something about Netanyahu’s bogus and heinous trial going on…Talk about crap reporting.

What about the UN? Their diapers were all a-twist when Hamass claimed Israel bombed one of their hospitals, then it turned out, nope, oopsie! It was one of Hamass’s own rockets they were trying to shoot into Israel that had malfunctioned and landed in their parking lot…So surely the UN has expressed outrage to Al Julani? Surely the U.N. will help the Druze. Nope, no UN help, no US help even though the US enabled this bloodbath. No help from Lebanon who has a Druze population, no help from Jordan who has a Druze population. No, no it was only Israel that helped them. Why did it take Israel so long to respond to the threat to the Druze community? You saw the man’s frustration in one of the videos, my guess? President Trump. I hope I’m wrong, truly I do. I would hate to think he’s so busy clearing off the place on his mantle for his “peace prize” that he will continue to sacrifice the lives of innocent civilians as he has in Iran and now Syria by demanding “ceasefires” and telling Israel to stop winning and saving innocent lives. He needs to remember, “ceasefire” in Arabic is “regroup, re-calibrate, re-arm, reload, resume”. Not yanking Israel back would have allowed innocent Iranians murdered by the vengeful Mullahs to have survived. Almost all the Jews of Iran were rounded up, I’ve heard no updates on that. I’m sure Israel would have intervened quicker in Syria.

But the lesson, and I hope the Kurds won’t find out as the Druze have, you don’t disarm. You don’t trust the government to protect you, because who is going to protect you from your government when it comes to kill you. Lesson for Mamdani voters in NYC, just sayin’. Israel is good, and they are compassionate, but if you elect a 12er Islamist to rule over you…well. Bless your hearts.

But I will end on a joyful note, these are Druze in Syria, they are at the Governor’s house I believe. Do you notice a very recent addition to the Druze flag waving on the left side? Yes, someone has added a the Star of David to the flag.

Yes, indeed it appears somewhere in the world, Israel is loved and respected for saving innocent lives, in Suwaida, in Syria.

Memorial Day and Yom Yerushalayim 2025

May 26, 2025 Sheila Stokes

Today is both Memorial Day, and Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day.

This is not a “Happy” Memorial Day kind of holiday. Memorial Day should be dignified, it is about paying respects to those who sacrificed all, who served with honor. How it morphed into a “Memorial Day Sale” kind of holiday or worse “Happy Memorial Day” kind of holiday is baffling to me. But I suspect public (lack of) education plays a role.

So I will give you a couple of musical tributes.

First Trace Adkins with Arlington

Then the late Toby Keith with American Soldier

I’m in awe of these valiant warriors that G-d created. That something inside of them that compels them to fight to protect their hearth, home and family. And I’m filled with disgust for those that abuse that nature.

Yom Yerushalayim was also a day of battle. It was a great miracle, if you need background or history on what happened that great day, and some video clips (great ones) you can check out these previous columns. It’s the 28^th day of Iyar. There are others, this is just a couple of them.

Jerusalem Day 2019

The Power of One, Yom Yerushaylim and Memorial Day

The results of leftist thinking and policies haven’t improved any.

And because I’m writing this, you know you’re going to get a video clip with the words that always make me cry in awe and with joy. הר הבית בידינו

Har HaBeyit BeYadenu, The Temple Mount is in our hands.

This one has good footage, English subtitles over the Hebrew words, and of course Motta Gur’s famous declaration. Around a couple of minutes.

For my second clip, Jerusalem of Gold, it has English subtitles as well.

The two do go together. Memorial Day and Jerusalem day, despite being half a world apart. Freedom, liberty and joy as embodied in Jerusalem Day are made possible in societies that hold those things to be of value, and are fought for by the heroes honored on Memorial Day.

I’m grateful.

Purim and Concealed Carry, Everyday heroes

March 19, 2024 Sheila Stokes

We’re about a week out from Purim, the holiday that once again celebrates the survival of the Jewish people from a nation that wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth. The Megillah (scroll/story) of Esther is notable for not mentioning the name of G-d as he remains as hidden as his name is in the story. There are no overt miracles like the parting of the sea, or clouds of glory, manna or even a miraculous battle. No, the story of Purim is about regular people. While I will concede Esther is a Queen this is still not a story of people born into the nobility of Persia.

You can find lots of information on Purim here

As I understand it, when Mordechai, Esther’s cousin who raised Esther first found of the plot to destroy the Jewish people and tried to warn them, he wasn’t taken seriously. The Jewish people were rather fractured at that time, and so Esther requested that all the Jews gather to pray and fast. Another interesting bit on this is Mordechai wanted to send the Jews a message regarding the true evil nature of the King and Hamen, but being afraid the message would be intercepted, he hid it in pastry.

6. The Alshich explains that at first, the Jews did not believe that they were going to be completely wiped out. In an effort to convince them of the seriousness of the situation, Mordechai sent numerous letters to the Jews describing the true brutal natures of Haman and Ahasuerus. However, because Mordechai feared that the king might intercept these messages that painted him in an unfavorable light, Mordechai hid them in pastries, which he then sent to the Jews. These pastries saved the Jews, because when they found Mordechai’s letters hidden within the dough, they became convinced of the direness of the situation and were stirred to repentance. On Purim, we eat hamantaschen, a pastry that contains hidden filling, to commemorate how the hidden filling of Mordechai’s pastries brought about our salvation. (Sefer Menuchah V’Kedushah 2:20)

I’ve heard this year they may be called Oznai Sinwar, Sinwar’s ears, after the leader of hamass.

Leading up to Haman’s evil attempt the eradicate Persia of it’s Jewish population, Jews thought they fit into society. They could freely walk around with their symbols of Judaism, order Kosher food and were treated no differently than other members of Persian society. Until one day they didn’t. Much like Germany, a cultured progressive country, Jews were apart of society and had lived at peace with their non-Jewish neighbors, until one day they didn’t.

Today American Jews are seeing what European Jews, or at least Swedish, German, English, and French Jews have been seeing for a long time. Their country loves the illegal invaders from 3rd world countries far more than they love the culture and contributions of their Jewish citizens. I’m sure it is a painful awakening for those that are seeing that the Demoncratic party embraces far more the views of the “the squad” than the old style demoncrats that supported Israel. I would think it would be painful to hear Chuck Schumer call for interference (again) in Israel’s electoral process. I would think it would cause painful bafflement when those indoctrinated by the higher education system proudly display their ignorance on topics while demanding something no other country at war has ever been required to do, which is hamstring your own army and support your opponents. Yet somehow people view it as perfectly acceptable to demand it of Israel.

Well, as we know, Queen Esther and Mordechai took action and created the circumstances for the Jewish people to be allowed concealed carry permits to fight back and kill those who came to kill them. But more than likely the Jews of Shushan sure didn’t see that one coming.

The shock of finding out they had been expendable all along to the left has to be horrible, but to me, more horrible yet are those that still don’t understand what is happening because they still trust the same dishonest mainstream media that has been deceiving them for years. It sure does make it easier to get blindsided. I really hate blindsided.

Purim and the Betrayal of American Jewry

Who has betrayed us? Not the white supremacists, not the neo-Nazis and the ignorant, brainwashed skinheads—there’s no element of surprise there—but the educated, humanitarian left, that segment of society that Jews have embraced more than any other, both ideologically and socially. The gentle souls who walked with us in sympathetic conversation have turned with teeth, claws, and venom against us.

What prompted their betrayal? Because they saw that it was possible to murder, rape, and torture over 1,200 of us, abduct our babies and elderly, and get away with it. That was “exhilarating” and “awesome.” That very morning, there were those who jumped out of bed eager to blame the victims, defend murderers and rapists, and celebrate our pain. Only later were they angered that we dare attempt to rescue our loved ones and protect ourselves from those who would destroy us, dampening the perverse antisemitic exhilaration that comes from seeing a Jew suffer.

Why is betrayal so shocking? Because it redefines not only the present but the past. It means that all along, the people you thought were your friends were holding a dagger for you in their back pocket.

Progressive Jews are not alone in feeling betrayed

The Epiphany

As a Zionist

Now or never wake-up call for American Jewish Progressives

The Obiden crime junta has imported millions of illegal invaders from countries with a rich history of crime and antisemitism. The results are now being made manifest and from what Michael Yon is saying, far worse is still coming. There are several different articles linked in this one, but this is a widespread problem covering far more than just Baltimore.

South American Gangs Target Mansions In Baltimore As Biden’s Border Crisis Spreads Chaos

Durden reminds us:

At the same time, Democrats are waging war on the Second Amendment by actively trying to ban guns, which will only leave law-abiding people defenseless.

Americans are demanding law and order – something Democrats and the radical progressives in the White House could not care less.

Welcome to Purim 2024, and the modern day Hamen, Alexander Mayorkas. But just as Esther and Mordechai pressed the King for the right for Jews to rise up and kill those who sought to kill them, today the Mitzvah remains to defends ourselves and our families.

The simple meaning of the word mitzvah is command. It appears in various forms with that meaning about 300 times in the Five Books of Moses. It generally refers to the Divine commandments to the Jewish people, things He wants us to do or not do.

Mitzvot (plural) are one of the ways we can connect to G-d. He tells us what he wants us to do and what he doesn’t want us to do….rightie-o! Sounds important to me.

But we’re just everyday ordinary people going about our lives, raising our families, working our jobs, taking care of children or parents, attending services, helping our neighbors and living life. What in there is heroic? Perhaps something you’ve not thought of. There was recently a fantastic article on Aish Nice Jewish Boys Carrying Concealed Guns and in it the columnist talks about having a talk with his Rabbi about carrying.

“Whenever you are carrying a gun,” he advised me, “you are fulfilling several mitzvot, commandments. ‘Guard your life’ by protecting yourself, and ‘love your neighbor’ for protecting others. You’re not a Rambo. You’re a Jew engaged in doing important mitzvot.”

The Best Defense

Event Date: 14 Adar 5729 – March 04, 1969

The Talmud teaches, “If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first.” The Rebbe explains that this dictum of our sages is the only way for Israel to deal with its enemies who seek its destruction.

The hope of achieving a measure of security through the United Nations, given the hypocritical attitude towards Israel which prevails there, is futile. Only when Israel demonstrates, with a show of force, that it stands ready to rise up and strike those who would attack it, can it prevent violent conflicts with its neighbors. If they are deterred from attempting attacks in the first place, there will be no need for actual use the force.

Note the date on that, March 4, 1969. Not much has changed. Israel can’t rely on other nations, any country is one corrupt, morally bankrupt politician or party from betrayal.

Haman, decedent of Amalek, whom King Saul was commanded to destroy, wanted to kill all the Jews, everywhere. Not just the ones in Shushan. King Saul did not destroy Amalek. Esther and Mordechai were decedents of King Saul. Haman they did destroy. Pharaoh wanted to destroy all the Jewish males, but not the females. In the past hitler, and in the modern day, Hamass and Fatah all call for the eliminations of Jews worldwide. It’s in their charters. The “innocent citizens” being used to prolong the war knew this when they voted for Hamass. Which pretty much shows you it has little to do with Israel, and everything to do with people since they call for the death of all Jews worldwide.

One of G-d’s gifts to Israel, the land, is Israel, the people. The everyday heroes. The ones that suit up and show up. Just like the armed citizens of their countries doing what they can to protect themselves and their families and everyday heroes. They are fulfilling mitzvot.

They tried to kill us, we prevailed, let’s eat!!

What would King David do?

October 13, 2023 Sheila Stokes 4 Comments

As information comes out about the pogrom/atrocities/murders/slaughters I am filled with rage, alternating with anger, alternating with sorrow, alternating with exhaustion. So hopefully you will forgive what’s probably going to be a more disjointed that usual column. But I have to. I just do.

Part of the anger comes from watching the response of the world. The same countries that in the UN condemn Israel for nothing, now have their buildings lit up with blue and white. Yay you. Let’s see how long it lasts. Before long, the media will begin their inevitable spin. I’ve heard some already, there were no decapitated babies and children. Yeah? About 40 of them, Kfar Aza. It is unusual for the IDF to allow journalists access to such a site, and in one report I saw there was still active fighting going in parts of Kfar Aza. I did an image search on Freespoke, and it looks like many of the captions were in French. Which may account for when the muslims in France rioted in the last couple days the French police put it down hard and quick. Maybe the French are catching on to what happens, I dunno. But journalists that were there DO have photographic proof, the MSM is refusing to air it. The MSM just blathers on about “unconfirmed” “no proof”. Yeah, yeah, there is you deceptive sewer scum. That was the point of the IDF letting them in. As in WWII, when Omar Bradley said:

“It is the desire of the Theater Commander that both still and moving pictures be utilized to the fullest extent practicable as exhibits in reports of investigations of war crimes committed by the Nazis with particular reference to Allied prisoners of war both in and out of camps and to concentration camps for the purpose of recording for civilization the history of horror written by over five years of German atrocities.”

As did Dwight D. Eisenhower

“I visited every nook and cranny of the camp because I felt it my duty to be in a position from then on to testify at first hand about these things in case there ever grew up at home the belief or assumption that `the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda.’ Some members of the visiting party were unable to through the ordeal. I not only did so but as soon as I returned to Patton’s headquarters that evening I sent communications to both Washington and London, urging the two governments to send instantly to Germany a random group of newspaper editors and representative groups from the national legislatures. I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical doubt.”

The nazis tried to hide their crimes, hamass livestreams theirs. They’re proud of what they’re doing. They expect the world to rejoice with them.

The state of Israel is our hope of preventing another holocaust. We need to do more than hope.

For now, this wiki article on the Kfar Aza seems to be fairly accurate. One report I heard said many of the dead that were killed initially were the more right wing that had guns and were trying to protect the more naive who didn’t own guns. Kibbutz Be’eri is a kibbutz located in the Gaza periphery since 1946. Its members are generally on the secular left, and it includes many peace activists. There were 250 people living there before, not sure how many are left, many are dead, some have been taken hostage.

See, it’s hard to know the actual numbers of the dead. You aren’t “dead” until your body is given a number. And some of the bodies are hard to get to, even though they can be seen. Some of the rooms in the Kibbutzim have been booby trapped. As have the bodies, where grenades have been placed inside the bodies. So in some of these places you have to have sappers come clear things before you can get the body, and then you can give it a number. This is part of why the death toll is rising slowly.

Happily this was not the way it turned out in every Kibbutz though. From a message on my Zehut group,

As I type this, Hezbollah terrorists have begun entering Israeli air spacewith gliders from Lebanon. God help them. IDF has deployed over 10K troops to the north. Like I said to MPs, I’m afraid of full scale incursion from Lebanon will occur as soon as the IDF begins its ground invasion of Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government has suspended it’s gun control policies indefinitely and began issuing permits to all applicants who are Israeli citizens and not Islamic.

On Saturday, female Israeli citizen Inbal Lieberman of Kibbutz Nir Am killed six Hamas terrorists with her AR-15 by herself, and organized her kibbutz residents to fight. They turned the kibbutz into a fortress as she issued weapons and in total killed a dozen Muslims. Because of this incident, Israel is going full 2A.

US Special Forces have now arrived in Israel, probably to coordinate rescue of US citizens kidnapped by Hamas. Pray.

If every citizen had an AR-15 with an adequate capacity magazine…

I mentioned in my previous column that Itamar Ben-Gvir has dropped mountains of gun control laws and is arming citizens. Had they done this years ago as Rabbi Kahane suggested (every Jew a .22) , as Moshe Feiglin suggested this might not have happened. But who knows? I don’t have a crystal ball.

Apparently former PM Naftali Bennett is wising up. Bennett to govt: Give Israeli towns and cities guns now

Former PM says it was armed local groups of citizens who were the most successful in fighting off Hamas invaders on Saturday.

Yeah, I’m sure that’s true. But I doubt Francistan or Germany will pay attention. Till it’s too late anyway.

And about the US Special Forces arriving to rescue US citizens. Perhaps I should just point out, for Americans hoping their government will get them out…..

Biden Regime Is Forcing Americans Trapped in Israel to Sign Promissory Notes to Repay All Travel Costs If They Decide to Be Rescued by US Government

“While Poland, Hungary, Brazil, Romania, and other countries sent planes to bring their citizens home from the war zone, our government told us to fend for ourselves,” wrote Yitz Friedman.

And as long as I’m whinging about the US government, I understand Winkin (Lloyd Austin) Blinkin (Blinken) are already in Israel. The only one missing is Nod (Beijing Biden). My hunch and fear is they are not there to support Israel, they are there to rein Israel in. After a discrete period of time, of course. Say, oh, about 3 days? Maybe less. See the Xiden junta is allied with China, China gave Beijing Biden lots and lots of money. And Beijing is backing the terrorists.

CCP Is ‘Fully Supporting’ Palestinians Amid Israel-Hamas War

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) reaction to the deadly attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorists revealed that it’s on the side of Palestine, according to Gordan Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China” and “China Is Going to War.”

On Sunday, China’s foreign ministry issued its first statement, expressing its deep concerns about the “escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel.” Without naming Hamas, the ministry’s spokesperson urged “relevant parties” to “remain calm, exercise restraint, and immediately end the hostilities.”

How’s about “HELL NO”. How do you remain calm among decapitated babies and children? Dead mothers with their unborn children cut out of them and the bodies left laying the the umbilical cord hooking them together? With abducted children, women, elderly? One hamass terrorist that was caught very freely admitted when asked why they kidnapped women and children, they aren’t soldiers after all, it was to rape them.

I wrote about some of the atrocities committed by the arabs in Huwara not long ago, the arabs there kill Jews almost any chance they get. They aren’t really afraid of the IDF you see, the IDF, like the American military is mostly controlled at the top by a leftist mentality. Or the lack thereof. You know who the arabs in Huwara are afraid of? The Jews in nearby cities. Those aren’t leftist Jews living in Judea and Samaria on the whole. Of course the UN was outraged by the arab attacks against innocent Jews driving on the road in their car, or in the town. Oh, sorry, my mistake. UN lashes Israel for Huwara settler violence after terror shooting

Nope, the UN was dead silent about the murder of Jews. But the Israelis in nearby towns had flat had enough. Which is partly why I don’t expect the support from “the world” to last too long.

So what brings up Huwara again? In my previous column there was a video clip of an elderly woman that has been kidnapped by hamass making a “Victory” sign as an hamass dropping stood next to her. Well, her image showed up in an ad for pizza in Huwara as they celebrate the massacre of the Jews.

This poor lady…
These creatures are sub-animal.

But this time, this time I have something delightful for you, really!!

The Honenu legal aid organization sent an urgent letter to the IDF asking the shop be shut down. The owner had been in legal trouble before,several years before he had seriously injured a boy from Yitzhar with a rock, but was released due to lack of evidence.

You won’t have time for popcorn, but this is delightful none the less. This is the IDF destroying the store. Not a room, not just the window. The store.

You know, if the IDF had been this hard line years ago…..but again, look at who top leadership are. For now, I’ll just savor.

Hamas calls for global ‘mobilization’ on Oct. 13

An official statement from the Hamas terrorist organization and comments from a former Hamas leader—both calling for global mobilization against Israel this Friday, Oct. 13—are raising alarm at Jewish organizations and among those who monitor the Middle East.

“The real threat here is that there is no way of knowing who, if anyone, will take up the call or if there are pre-planned actions already staged elsewhere in the world just waiting for the greenlight,” according to James Carafano, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and senior counselor to its president.

Boy, I’m sure glad we don’t have any of those peaceful falestinians in America! And the ones we do have the obiden junta can keep an eye on them!

But the shop former shop in Huwara may not be the only place that is finally going to earn the results it deserves. For all those leftists such as BLM and antifa that have rampaged with no consequences, thought that they could do anything without consequences, perhaps something is changing.

Elon Musk refuse to let BLM off the hook when they attempted to backtrack ‘Your Position Is Clear’: Musk Responds to Black Lives Matter Pro-Palestine Posts After Hamas Attacks

But some of the future BLM/antifa jihadi students are beginning to re-think their signing of a petition blaming Israel for all the dead Jewish families. Not because they object to the atrocities you understand, oh no, not that. But because it could affect their future job opportunities…The suffering of others and compassion for them doesn’t exist on the left.

Student Groups at Harvard Starting to Think Maybe it Was a Bad Idea to Sign Letter Blaming Israel for Hamas Attack

The backtracking is all about jobs. People want to know who these students are so that they won’t hire them.

And this “Harvard Law Student” obviously is deeply, deeply concerned about the people that were trapped in the “safe rooms” of their houses hearing their neighbors slaughtered and could do nothing, the families that were wiped out because they were Jewish. See, some of those black and brown people BLM is always yammering on about protecting and caring about? Well, some of those black and brown people in Israel were Jewish. Black and brown people killed by arabs. And BLM supports their killers. But back to my point about the Harvard law student, it seems some CEOs not being mush headed college students and looking at the letters the aforementioned mush headed college students signed blaming Israel for hamass attacking them. And decided “Nope, nopitty nope nope. Not hiring these immoral and amoral thugs”. So what distresses Harvard law student? Not the suffering of the victims, nope the “harassment” by CEOs wanting to know who signed the letter because they don’t want to hire them. Wow.

And what are the future terrorist falestinian children learning in school? Oh, same thing.

Jack Engelhard has a good column up on why hamass did it. Why did Hamas start a war they knew they would lose?

Simply, they put no value on human life, not for others and not for themselves. They are a death cult.

It’s reminiscent of Golda Meir.

The Jews are concerned about life, even the abandoned dogs in the south.

And the Orthodox Jews of Chabad showing up in war zones to cheer and encourage the Israeli soldiers. I’d say they succeeded. I adore this clip! Adore it!!

But I want to basically end with looking further back in Israeli history that Golda, I want to look back to King David.

And last from Tamar’s post about & ‘ !

Think like a true, proud, and HEALTHY Jew. Ask yourself, what would G-d’s beloved King David do if he were facing enemies committing these atrocities against Israel? We know what the answer correct answer is:’Eat them for lunch, before they eat YOU for dinner.”King David would never kick the can down the road regarding a terror entity and the slaughtering of his citizens. As a ‘just’ king, he would never tolerate decades of murderous attacks against his people. King David wouldn’t try to ‘contain’ the terror, or ‘manage it’ as our leadership has done for decades. No. We all know what King David would do.

As he wrote in Psalm 18:

*verse 38) I will pursue my enemies and overtake them, never turning back until they are consumed.*

*v39) I will crush them so that they cannot rise; yea, until they have fallen under my feet.*

*v40) For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me, those that rose up against me.*

*v41) And of my enemies, You have given me the back of their necks; those that hate me, that I may cut them off.*

As for many of us lately living in a state of fear,…folks, *switch your thinking, and make THEM, afraid of US!*

! And let’s do what King David would do – eliminate these monsters once and for all!

I’ve been asked by people how can they help. So I’ll give you some different choices.

Are The Pawns Refusing To Play?

September 10, 2023 Sheila Stokes

Bear had an excellent article on the tyrant in New Mexico attempting to use the Covid Tyranny paradigm to advance her gun grab agenda. This is a tiny taste of what the WHO Pandemic treaty would look like. Everything the globalists want to put an end to will become a health threat. We know “President” Puddin’head has no problem with handing U.S. over to the Chinese, Ukrainian corruption, Romanian corruption and on and on, including but not limited to the W.H.O. pandemic treaty.

I’ve written about this a couple of time, well, more really, but if you are new, try these;

AMNESTY?

NOT W.H.O. BUT WHAT ARE YOU?

But this time, there may be, just may be some of the “pawns” that are refusing to play the game. And this gives me great hope that there is the spirit of sanity that may be starting to wake up in this beleaguered country.

The first one is in New Mexico. Sheriff John Allen from Bernalillo County (north of Albuquerque) announced he will not comply with the diktat. Rather publicly actually, in a “tweet” or is it an “X” now? I dunno. Here’s a snippet.

However, as the elected Sheriff, I have reservations regarding this order. While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our Constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold. I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.

I was elected to represent and safeguard all constituents and to ensure the balance between our rights and public safety is maintained. That means we must critically evaluate any proposed solution to the deeply rooted issue of gun violence, ensuring we both protect our community and uphold the values that define us as a nation.

Feni Ammunition is also helping citizens of New Mexico “fight back”. They have a special shipping offer.

Commandant Grisham (ja VOL!) is so obviously over the top that Elon Musk weighed in and I think while I like Bear’s point the very best, this would be an option. There needs to be a very clear signal sent, not one millimeter more.

Our second story comes from, wait for it, The People’s Republik of Kalifornia. There’s a 7:18 video.

Entire City Rebels, Outlaws Mask and Vaccine Mandates

snippy snip snip

An entire American city has just voted to officially ban all future mask and vaccine mandates: Huntington Beach, California—which is quite notable because California had some of the most stringent mandates in the country.

Your local elections matter as much, if not more than the federal ones at times. One courageous Sheriff, and others may rise up as well. Well, the ones that aren’t Demoncrats. A city council that you’ve vetted, a school board that puts children and their education ahead of the current thing and their ideology will make a huge difference in your day to day life, that of your business and your children’s future. I learned this lesson the hard way years ago, my group emerged victorious over the issue, but a huge overstepping of bounds lead to the entire county commission being replaced in the next election. As it should have been.

People aren’t stupid, if there is much trust left in the blathering of the MSM, aka #FakeNews I’d be shocked to hear it. They know our country is in trouble, and I understand many former Demoncratic demographics are catching on to who is responsible.

Why We Fight

June 7, 2023 Sheila Stokes 4 Comments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yet Another Interesting Baldwin/Rust Shooting Development

April 23, 2023 Carl Bussjaeger 6 Comments

You may recall that I’ve been wondering how a live round ever made it onto the Rust set.

One thing that always bothered me was presence of live rounds on site at all. Where did they come from? Who brought them? How did at least one end up in the gun?

We may have a better idea of who that was, now. Armorer Gutierrez-Reed had tried suggesting the company that supplied blanks had mixed the live rounds in with the right stuff. The forensic examination of components strongly suggested otherwise. Then there was the report that she had retrieved the gun after the shooting, before the police arrived, and removed the spent case. That’s odd,and sounds rather like tampering with evidence.

I just ran across this tidbit, which — if true — may explain a lot.

The New York Post reports that police gathered text messages from Reed that indicated she had attempted to use live ammunition on the set of her previous film.

Did she bring them again, for the Rust filming? And was she trying to conceal evidence of what she’d done? I suppose we’ll see when her trial starts.

This may be part of the new forensic evidence that the prosecutors cited when dropping charges against Baldwin for now. I still think the actor completely failed to exercise “due caution and circumspection,” but if Gutierrez-Reed herself knowingly brought the live rounds onto the set, and loaded one into the gun, a lot more of the culpability for the resulting death and injury shifts her way. Not all, but some.

When Rights are Privileges

April 10, 2023 Sheila Stokes 5 Comments

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalms 144:1

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

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

Psalms 82:4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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