It was on September 19, 1940 that Captain Witold Pilecki used faked identity documents to be arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Yes, I’m late with this. Bear did a wonderful story on him, that’s the link, and apparently a group called Sabaton must be reading Bear’s columns.
Becaaaauuse did you know there’s a song for him? There is. It’s the second video. This first is a bit more background, not so much anything Bear hasn’t told us, and them apparently, but they do have more pictures of him. Captain Pilecki, not Bear.
And the song written about Captain Pilecki. As Bear said, total badass. I know this song is listed in the comments under Bear’s column, but as it’s the anniversary of his entry into Auschwitz it seemed like the date should be remembered for him.
So there I was, peacefully running the vacuum cleaner and listening to a radio show from Daniel Horowitz called Conservative Review. It’s always good, and I can learn a lot. They’ve been covering the Stasi raid on Mar-A-Lago, current events, and he refers a lot to the Federalist papers and relates them to the topic. All in all, just a very good show.
Today was a good show as well, but depressing as all get out. I was appalled that the Demoncrats decided to add 87,000 more armed IRS goons, willing to use deadly force. In fact that seems to be more important that using a calculator, or even doing math or learning the forms.
IRS Thug jobs
But you see, the IRS is just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out there are 200,000 armed federal agents, not only are they armed, they can make arrests. Yes indeedy, more than the Marines. Semper Calculator and Glock.
Who else has armed agents that one might not expect? Well, Daniel stated that he had recently had John Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute as a guest on his show and they discussed this. So I headed on over there because I had to keep backing the radio show up to try to get all these figures and it was becoming way too time consuming. I guess maybe I really should have learned shorthand. Do they still do shorthand?
But back to John, this is the list I got from him, it starts out in the order presented by Daniel.
IRS— 4,500 guns, including 621 shotguns, 539 long barrel rifles, 15 submachine guns and 5 million rounds of ammunition.
Apparently the armed IRS training started a long time ago, under the Bush regime. It was to train college and high school students how to be armed thugs. Doubt me? Watch the video, the desire for power over people seems to come through from the students. “You’re going to jail buddy”. Um, isn’t there supposed to be like, oh I dunno, some kind of hearing or something? But now the IRS solves “crimes”.
Here’s another one making the rounds, it’s shorter.
But this actually isn’t new! No no, this goes back, back to well, gee 2006 it looks like.
The VA, yes, the Veteran’s Administration– They have 11 million rounds of ammo, camo clothing, riot gear including helmets and tactical lights and some other goodies.
The HHS Department of Health and Human Services– The NIH and CDC are included in this, have 1,300 guns, including 5 submachine guns and 189 automatic firearms and 4 million rounds of ammunition. Are you kidding me?? Guess they’re afraid people are going to find out that Covid was created by Fauxci, is very survivable but, according the actuarial tables, the jab, not so much. But they do get training from Army Special Forces, so there is that. I guess that’s so they know hand to hand for jab resistors?
The SSA, the Social Security Administration– They have guns, armor and 800,000 rounds of ammunition. Guess they don’t need to worry about citizens being angry when they start giving out social security to illegals huh?
The Smithsonian—They have 620 armed special agents. Isn’t that special?
Who else has goodies? This list might surprise you, well, maybe not you, but it did me.
The U.S. Mint
The FDA—No wonder they aren’t worried about people finding out Pfizer paid the largest criminal fine in history for fraud, and that they didn’t want to release the data on the WuFlu shot for 75 years.
The SBA, Small Business Administration —Those loans will be repaid on time.
NOA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—They’re gonna shoot Flipper?
The Department of Education— Pay attention you little buggers.
Energy Department—You will have a green car and clothes dryer, or else.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing— I don’t even know what to say about this one.
An assortment of public universities— And a guess off the top of my head is, they are all gun-free zones, so how does that work?
And you thought the Post Office going to green vehicles and spying on social media for the government was a big problem! HA. The Xiden crime junta will show you!
In addition to all this, a survey was sent out and several of the agencies have tactical units as well.
But you know what? If you have the right kind of politicians in your state, you may have a bit of protection. I just heard this Florida politicians name on the show, and I love him! Jimmy Patronis is Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, and boy does he have some good ideas!
“Even though the Free State of Florida cannot control the insanity of Washington we must do what we can to protect our small businesses,” Patronis told The Epoch Times on Aug. 18. “This massive super expansion of the IRS is concerning to me. I think Washington is totally disconnected from what real Americans and Main Street is feeling.”
The four pillars of protection Patronis is suggesting involve requiring state-chartered banks to generate a regular report on IRS engagement in order to identify if patterns of “targeting the middle class and small businesses are ongoing. Second, establishing a Civil Liability Trust Fund to help small businesses defend themselves–or sue the IRS–in cases of politically motivated audits or any federal overreach. Third, requiring new IRS agents coming into the state to have a Florida license. And last, establishing criminal penalties by enforcing laws based on viewpoint or political discrimination.
Now tell me you don’t love those ideas!! And that was part of the point of Daniel’s radio show. The Founding Fathers never thought the threats would come from the Federal Government because it wasn’t suppose to have that much power. But they figured the States and the Federal Government would keep each other in check. And that is what we need now, strong state sovereignty legislation. Like versions of a Second Amendment Protection Acts, where if the Federal Agents exceed their wheelhouse they can be reined in. Mind you, we’ll need good local law-enforcement, and the left has tried to destroy that. I wrote a long time ago that if you keep demonizing cops and deputies pretty soon the only people that would go into the field would be the jackboots that they were accusing good men and women of being at the time. But those are just rough ideas on my part, Mr. Patronis has his act together.
I just hope one of the things the kids are learning in IRS school is:
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities…”
It seems the Biden junta weaponized alphabet agencies are getting frisky. It seems they feel America is no longer a country ruled by laws but by dictatorial fiat, so they want to prove themselves as big a hero as Lila Morris the DC cop who beat an unconscious Roseanne Boyland to death and was then declared a “hero”. Hmph, must be handing that title out in crackerjacks now like they did Barry Sotero’s “Nobel Peace Prize”, snort, giggle, chuckle guffaw.
So if you ever wondered why states like Missouri passed a Second Amendment Preservation Act that prevents local law enforcement agencies from assisting federal agencies one only needs take a look at some recent activity. I can’t help it if a Senatorial candidate (Greitens) objects to the SAPA because it prevents local law enforcement being roped into the federal abuse of citizens. But hey, it took the guy five years to figure out being a Young Global leader in the WEF was a bad thing, so looking down the road may not be his strong suit.
For evidence I offer Delaware. Oh were you thinking the ATF didn’t have a firearm registry?
In Missouri, the useless biased hack known as Chris Wray decided he would “audit” the records of Missouri concealed carry holders. The Attorney General Eric Schmitt nicely told him to go pound sand. Delicious!! You’ll enjoy reading it.
A Washington state sheriff recently advised residents in his county that if agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) come to their homes without a search warrant asking to inspect their firearms, they can tell them to leave their property.
Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer said in a press statement on Friday that agents are “making surprise home visits of persons who have purchased two or more firearms at one time. To my knowledge, these ATF visits have not occurred in Washington State yet.”
Sheriff Songer told The Washington Times he became concerned about the Second Amendment rights of the residents of Klickitat County after viewing a doorbell video that showed a firearms owner who ATF agents coerced, without a warrant, to inspect his firearms.
Damned right it’s illegal. The “no registry/database” was the “compromise” that FOPA gave us when we lost new machine guns.
Here’s the thing, the alphabet agencies think they are above the law. The law doesn’t apply to them. They enjoy inflicting fear and pain on innocent citizens but when it comes to them…..well then. I found this very enlightening. The behavior of the agent is despicable, he was terrorizing an innocent woman at home with her children. I believe it was the landlord that came over and thanked the police.
The video is 15:38 long, and probably worth watching every bit of it. The comments under the video are pretty interesting as well. They do go talk to the scared woman who called the police in the first place.
In my humble opinion this is how all these interactions should be handled. Poor lady, poor kids. But rockin’ awesome police officers standing up for the scared innocent citizens.
The alphabets, they do love their power.
With the betrayal of Joe Manchin, again, friends don’t ever vote Demoncrat, there are going to be some changes. Even if they say they’re moderate, or support ________ they will have to tow the Demoncrat party line. Which these days is somewhere around Stalin on the scale. But back to the changes, people making under $200,000 a year are going to have a tiny little increase in their taxes despite the liar in chief’s promises.
The energy and health care deal from Sens. Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer would raise taxes on millions of Americans earning less than $400,000 annually, Senate Republicans say, citing nonpartisan data.
The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation found that taxes would jump by $16.7 billion on American taxpayers making less than $200,000 in 2023 and raise another $14.1 billion on taxpayers who make between $200,000 and $500,000.
During the 10-year window, the average tax rate would go up for most income categories, the Senate GOP said, citing the data from the joint committee. And by 2031, new energy credits and subsidies would have people earning less than $400,000 pay as much as two-thirds of the additional tax revenue collected that year, the release said.
WOWZA! That’s a lot of money! Now regular citizens when their household spending increase due to a fraudulent communist being placed in office who issues a lot of illegal executive orders, well they have to trim the budget somewhere else. Like, less eating out, no movies, maybe even cut off the cable #FakeNews to make ends meet. So since we are now supporting millions of illegal aliens, with more pouring across the boarder daily I think the federal government needs to trim their burden on the taxpayer…now where oh where I wonder could we trim. Would we miss the alphabets if the went away? Would it be so bad if parents could go to school board meeting unmolested? If law abiding citizens could feel secure in their homes? Wouldn’t it be nice if someone at the door who said they were Avon calling, really was Avon? If Hunter Biden knew there wasn’t anyone covering for him and “the big guy” any longer? Hmm, maybe just leave law-enforcement to the local professional officers that answer to their citizens? I dunno, but it’s a thought. Don’t like that one? Ok, hows about every single politician or un-elected bureaucrat (CDC I’m looking at you) that pushes gun control no longer has tax payer funded security? They get to live like the little people they are trying to deprive of their most effective self-defense tool? Certainly that should save some money! And with the Biden junta spending more money in Ukraine, who will send it back to corrupt politicians, we need to start these effective cost cutting measures at once! No time to waste! Like yesterday! Follow me for more simple, practical budgeting tips…
But the upshot, say no to tyranny. Very catchy tune by the way!
I’m sure almost everyone has heard by now that Dr. Zev Zelenko has left us. Z-stack life. In my eyes Dr. Zelenko was a mentsch. And I’m pretty sure he was in the eyes of the millions who owe their live or that of a loved one to him. Dr Zelenko in case you didn’t know, was the pioneer who concocted the HCQ, Zinc and Azythromycin protocol along with vitamins to combat covid. Those that used it said the results would be felt sometimes within hours, but the key was early treatment as covid starts as one disease and turns into another. What hospitals would do would be to deny patients the lifesaving medications they needed until they were almost at deaths door, then maybe allow them and if they didn’t work at that late stage say, “Oh they don’t work”. I hope there is a special, long place in hell for those that have done that.
He was also a special hero to me because I learned so much spiritually from him. He always kept G-d front and center of his conversations and gave him credit. He also taught much about life, and the folly of trusting government to save you as opposed to trusting G-d. I’m not going to write much in the way of an obituary, there are far better writers than I that have done so. Dr. Robert Malone one of a group of doctors that spoke out about the true nature of Covid and the true risk of the shots.
The Zelenko Freedom Foundation is organized exclusively to provide funding to social entities and social activities surrounding education, leadership development, health literacy, advocacy, public policy, social, health and community development. These activities will include, but are not limited to, events, workshops, grants, research funding and limited scholarships.
I guess what to share are just some thoughts, and a few videos I think share the attitude and brilliance of Dr. Zelenko. He had many facets to his character.
This one dealt with his absolute ban from Twatter for trying to save lives. It was ridiculous as after his non-profit foundation was established and a Twatter account was opened for it, it was permanently banned within hours. But while humorous, it was also a potential window into the future.
I’ve started a Constitution class through the Patriot Academy and it is so fascinating but a couple of things in last weeks class made me think of Dr. Zelenko.
Of all the habits and dispositions which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. ~~ George Washington
Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation….it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces. ~~James Garfield
It is a great mistake to suppose that the paper we are to propose will govern the United States. It’s the men whom it will bring into the government, and the interests they have in maintaining it, that is to govern them. The paper will only mark out the mode and the form; men are the substance and must do the business. ~~John Francis Mercer
The mess created by Biden voters
Our rights do not come from man, or the Constitution, they come from G-d. The power Congress has comes from us, the governed from our power to consent or refuse. One of the things Dr. Zelenko often reminded us when it came to the injection was “Do not comply”. What kind of monumental overreach is it when the un-elected bureaucrats can demand we put an experimental substance into our bodies to be able to work, shop or travel. And the more we comply, the worse it will become. Because that’s how tyranny rolls.
Dr. Zelenko saw everything quite clearly.
This final clip was made from Dr. Zelenko’s hospital bed, and I think it sums up all the things that touched me so deeply. A man of great faith, a caring compassion doctor who was supernaturally given the gift of the cure. I think it was given to Dr. Zelenko not only because he had the nature to search for it, but he prayed and begged G-d for an answer to help his patients. Dr Zelenko was a man blessed with the courage of his convictions to stay the course. He was relentlessly attacked by the corporate pharmaceutical funded media, the swampy deep state and the entire demoncrat party and RINO sellouts. Not to mention those that lacked his courage and honesty within the medical profession.
In a fairly recent interview on Jerm Warfare he said he was afraid of G-d and no one else. He said this is a race between the forces that want to enslave humanity and those that are wanting to expand G-d consciousness. Turn away from bad, do good, and live. Do not live in fear and isolate yourself from those you love. Take positive proactive measures and live. He sees a glorious redemptive event coming where the false narrative will be destroyed and the knowledge of G-d will fill the earth. He said the key here, is courage.
Now there is a large battle standard and heavy sword laying on the battlefield. It will take more than one person to pick them up and advance. May I do my part.
It seems a Missouri candidate to replace outgoing Demoncrat in RINO drag Roy Blunt has come with up a campaign ad guaranteed to blow up the internet and leftist minds with a furor. To be fair there are conservatives that have reservations about it as well. But first I’ll let you watch it. Just watch, then we’ll discuss. Ok?
Now, I don’t really have that big a problem with the ad. I don’t. It’s cheesy and over the top, but Greitens has some stiff competition for the Senate seat so he’s trying to set himself to the front of everyone’s mind. It did blow some (most likely) RINO minds. Caleb Rowden, the Missouri Senate majority leader said on Twatter he contacted the Missouri Highway Patrol and hoped Greitens got help. I think that seems a bit, well, stupid on Rowden’s part. Can anyone say “Red Flag”? I knew you could. I did hear a caller named Carl who called in and said in light of recent events he thought it was kind of tone deaf, and going to scare people that don’t understand guns or the Second Amendment. Well, I can’t argue that. He also has some baggage to overcome, that’s not my problem with him either. I’ve written columns defending him in the past, SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO because the prosecutor that went after him, Kim Gardner is a Soros plant. So it’s not that.
Former Missouri governor and current U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens has pivoted 180 degrees on the issue of the state’s Second Amendment Preservation Act; a new law that took effect earlier this year that forbids state and local police from working with their federal counterparts in enforcing federal gun control laws that aren’t mirrored in state statute.
….
Greitens, who’s running against a crowded field in the Republican primary for the seat currently held by retiring GOP Senator Roy Blunt, slammed SAPA and its supporters.
But he’s in famous company. “Democratic officials from U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland down to St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones” don’t like it either.
But wait five minutes, a few days later he “100% supports it”.
The article listed raises a good point.
I suspect that Greitens’ original comments were meant as a slight against Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who’s both supported SAPA and is also running to replace Roy Blunt in the Senate. I can understand wanting to differentiate yourself from the competition, but referring to SAPA supporters as either willing accomplices or innocent dupes of the defund the police movement, Greitens ended up metaphorically shooting himself in the foot.
Now this article is from Dec 6, 21 so it’s not exactly fresh. I’ve raised the concerns of Greitens comments to others in the Second Amendment community. The Missouri Second Amendment Protection Act is a darn fine piece of legislation. One of the things it is meant to protect Missouri citizens from is this, and this is from 2005. I’m not predicting the future here, this is something that has already happened.
ATF, Virginia Police Accused of ‘Persecuting’ Gun Shows You’ll have to read the article to find out about the heavy ATF and local law enforcement presence combined at the show. I want to draw your attention to ONE of the things that took place. You should really read the whole thing to see everything that took place.
“They did something else, which is highly illegal,” Gelles charged. “They did something called a residency check.”
Gelles explained that, when gun dealers took the paperwork to the Virginia State Police on-site office to complete the background checks on prospective buyers, ATF agents copied the names, home addresses and telephone numbers of the applicants.
Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, told Cybercast News Service that he has received numerous complaints alleging that as handgun buyers were waiting for their National Instant Check System (NICS) background investigations to be completed, ATF was secretly conducting the so-called “residency checks.”
According to the complaints he received, Van Cleave said officers were dispatched to the homes of the prospective gun buyers to speak with family members, asking for example: “Gee, did you know your husband was going to a gun show today? Do you have his cell phone number? Did you know he was buying a gun?
“If people weren’t home they, in some cases, went to neighbors” to ask the same questions, Van Cleave said.
“I’m not an attorney but, I’ll tell you what, in my opinion that would be a violation of federal law,” Van Cleave said. “To go off on a fishing trip with that information, much less sharing information like that with neighbors, there’s no way that’s legal.”
And, as I said, this is just one of the things listed in the account, there are others. And Eric Greitens thinks it’s fine. He wants local elected officials to sell out their law abiding citizens that depend on them, and elected them for what? Relief from federal pressure, a new militarized Humvee or something? I dunno, nor do I care. But this sort of abuse of citizens is what the Missouri SAPA is meant to prevent. We currently have a weaponized federal law enforcement branch, if you doubt that ask someone that’s been attacked by them.
Isn’t it nice to have friends that tip you off to stuff that’s going on so you can fire up the internet and share in the fun? Eric Greitens was on the Pete Mundo in the morning show, a morning radio show that covers Missouri politics, local politics, events and opinions. I know for a fact someone sent in a question about his waffling support on Missouri’s SAPA. And asked in light of his recent kerfluffle (Caleb Rowden’s call to the MOHP) would he be re-thinking his lack of support for it?
Nope. He was asked, but just like he weaseled around before when the show host asked him about it. The host mentioned Dana Loesch had dinged him on it, and to be honest Dana is supporting Eric Schmitt. Greitens just dismissed the question and said since she’s supporting another candidate…..but listen for yourself, it’s not that long a segment and hopefully I have it set to start after the ads.
Another caller later pointed out Greitens hadn’t answered the question, it seemed his approach is “If you don’t support me, you’re a RINO” and that he is very much making use of the branding and labels of MAGA. I don’t trust this, I don’t trust it at all and the more he does it the more it makes my spidey senses tingle. I really wanted to write a column in support of this guy, but government is not a friend of the people. Especially not now.
He rightly points out that nuclear weapons are far more dangerous than guns. But no one is concerned that France, the U.K. and more than likely Israel have them. People are concerned Russia, North Korea, China and soon Iran have them. Then he pointed out how many millions have been murdered at the hands of their own governments. Only government having guns is far scarier than guns, because who’s hand the gun rests in matters.
So a politician that loudly proclaims he’s pro-Second Amendment while obviously on more than one occasion disparaging laws set to protect citizens from Federal overreach does not impress me. The time to get legislation like that passed is before it’s needed, because after it’s needed it’s too late. If Greitens can’t look down the road and foresee that, he’s not going to help much. He’s like the guy in the bus after it’s gone off the curve and tumbled down the cliff on the third roll who says “Slow down and watch out for the curve!”. He may not be as bad as a Susan Collins or a Roy Blunt, but he sure isn’t a Rand Paul or Josh Hawley. And that’s just if there is no malicious intent.
AMENDMENT XXIV – Passed by Congress August 27, 1962. Ratified January 23, 1964.
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
So poll taxes to keep out the riffraff are back on the table?
AMENDMENT XXVI – Passed by Congress March 23, 1971. Ratified July 1, 1971.
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Hmmm… Unless we red flag someone because he might vote irresponsibly? I suppose that could apply to the 16th Amendment as well.
Or maybe, just maybe… this is the one the “no right is absolute” crowd really have in mind.
AMENDMENT XIII – Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Hey, if we’re going to chuck the Constitution, why not go all out?

If you’re border patrol agent Jacob Albarado, you can borrow a shotgun from the barber who is giving you a haircut and go save your wife and daughter who are being held hostage at Uvalde’s Robb elementary school. And you’ll be saving a whole lot of other people in the process as well.
If you’re Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, you spend time keeping your county safe and crime free and then training others to protect school children. It’s interesting that after the FL legislators passed a bill putting additional safety measures in place that Broward County, home of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, was the last school to put them in place. But Sheriff Judd speaks straightforward, and hopefully his flame will light many candles.
And these are all amazing things, G-d can use any person anywhere to accomplish a miracle. But sometimes the miracles are so earth shattering, so ground breaking that normal sane humans can’t help but see the hand of G-d.
The 28th of Iyar (this year 29th May) we celebrate Yom Yerushaylim, Jerusalem day celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967. This was a miracle straight from the hand of G-d. While it cost much in the way of lives, the cost was far less than anticipated.
This is a really good backstory video with lots of excellent footage and maps showing the areas involved. It’s under 10 minutes. It opens with the famous words from Mordechai (Motta) Gur “”הר הבית בידינוThe Temple mount is in our hands! Every time I hear that tears well up and sometimes they run down. Only G-d. If you’re one person and you’re Motta Gur? Well then. And it has horses in it.
One person? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Shlomo Goren, you can capture Hevron with your driver. But he must have had angels riding with him after having blown his shofar on the Temple Mount, eh? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Goren, amazing!
So after all that time, all that fighting all the loss of life, to regain the site of the Holy Temples, the place where G-d chose for his temples and you’re Moshe Dayan? Well, then you give it away.
Dayan’s first act on the Temple Mount, only a few hours after IDF Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the shofar and gave the Shehecheyanu blessing beside the Western Wall, was to immediately remove the Israeli flag that the paratroopers had raised on the mount.
Dayan’s second act was to clear out the paratroop company that was supposed to remain permanently stationed in the northern part of the mount. Dayan rejected the insistent pleas of the head of Central Command, Uzi Narkiss, who tried to prevent him from taking this measure. Narkiss reminded Dayan that Jordan, too, had stationed a military contingent on the mount to maintain order, and that long ago the Romans had done the same, deploying a garrison force in the Antonia Fortress that Herod had built near the mount. But Dayan was not persuaded. He told Narkiss that it seemed to him the place would have to be left in the hands of the Muslim guards.
Better to be Uzi Narkiss. Uzi may not have gotten it done, but he tried. But even for him, it wasn’t about G-d or religion, more culture or tradition I guess.
But Dayan wasn’t done.
Dayan, just a few hours after his first public announcement to the Israeli people about the holy places and particularly the Temple Mount, succinctly stated: “We have returned to the holiest of our places, never to be parted from them again….We did not come to conquer the sacred sites of others or to restrict their religious rights, but rather to ensure the integrity of the city and to live in it with others in fraternity.”
Typical leftist thinking. If we play nice, others will play nice with us.
Dayan’s most significant act on the Temple Mount, which sparked controversy over the years and was widely criticized, was to forbid Jewish prayer and worship there, unlike the arrangements that emerged at the Machpelah Cave in Hebron where there is also a functioning mosque.7 Dayan decided to leave the mount and its management in the hands of the Muslim Wakf, while at the same time insisting that Jews would be able to visit it (but not pray at it!) without restriction. Dayan thought, and years later even committed the thought to writing, that since for Muslims the mount is a “Muslim prayer mosque” while for Jews it is no more than “a historical site of commemoration of the past…one should not hinder the Arabs from behaving there as they now do.”
Because for him it was no more than a historical site, Dayan was a Kibbutznik, born and raised on a communist Kibbutz. His parents were not religious, he wasn’t and his children weren’t. For him that’s all it was. And when people lack G-d, and a relationship with the creator it keeps them from seeing the true beauty and value in the things G-d inspired or created himself. And that’s how Dayan came off the tracks.
It’s why we have people now that don’t see the beauty in the differences in men and women, how the two can compliment each other. It’s why people can’t comprehend that while there are viruses, he also put things out there that can cure them other than worshipping at the alter of the Golden Fauxi with his golden needle. At least I believe that.
In freedom people are allowed to have different opinions and freely debate idea.
But like Moshe Dayan, children today aren’t taught to recognize things of value, like freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to defend yourself and your family, freedom from medical tyranny. Those freedoms come from G-d. And if you don’t believe or accept there is a creator of the universe? Well, then.
G-d miraculously reunited Jerusalem, in his way, at his time. Which at the time looked like the tiny baby state of Israel was bound for destruction.
I pray he will unite our country, but not at the expense of freedom. Not because the bat rabid left have won the battle. I pray that he send Moshiach now, yesterday.
You see, I believe Moshe Dayan’s decision has consequences that affect our world even today. I can not help but wonder, had he not committed his act of idiocy, in my humble opinion, how different would our world be today?
5 “I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.
6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.
7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.
We are all just one person, but sometimes one person is enough. Sometimes many of the “just one persons” unite together, and I can not help but believe when we unite together to be a force of good, G-d will bless our efforts. But whether working alone or with others, be a force for good. May many people the world over wake up to the knowledge of G-d.
Israel and America, countless battles and whether it was the Battle of Bunker Hill or the Battle of Ammunition Hill, we can not let the sacrifices have been for nothing. Teach your children what they won’t learn in school,teach them to appreciate living in a moral G-dly country. And may both return to that soon.
This is well worth a few minutes of your time. A tip of my Stetson to fellow writer, Y.B.
“Who will say on this network or any other network in the next few days, ‘It’s time to repeal the Second Amendment?’”
Bad idea, Lardo Calrissian.
You can’t repeal the Second Amendment, any more than you can repeal any of the other nine. It was a package deal, you see, an absolute prerequisite to ratifying the main body of the Constitution. Repeal one, you repeal them all. Do that, and you repeal the whole Constitution — and with it, any legal authority that the government has to exist (let alone repeal the Second Amendment).
— Alexander Hope
That comes from chapter five of Hope, by Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith. The style makes me think that particular passage was penned by Neil (and it seems like he had a stand-alone essay to the same effect), but I don’t believe Aaron would have let that go into their co-authored novel unless he agreed with it.
As a casual student of history, who has read much about the ratification of the Constitution, I also agree.
Lose one, lose them all. Lose it all.
I suspect that Moore, and most Dims currently in DC — and far too many Repugnicans, as well — would be happy to lose the few remaining Constitutional limits on their power. They don’t particularly care about “legal authority;” just power.
The problem is… if our wanna-be tyrants are no longer restrained by that pesky Constitution, neither are the people.
The people pissed off at senseless bans, and illegal ballot drop boxes, might just decide that turning to constitutionally-enabled courts — who already defecate on individual rights at the slightest provocation — really isn’t necessary.
Voting out scumbags, and voting in new replacement scumbags who promise to use KY while screwing us? Why bother with that discarded constitutional process? Wouldn’t high-velocity lead be cheaper and faster? Not to mention proactively educating would-be replacements.
Court-blessed “constitutional” takings of property? Get rid of the Constitution and former property owners might resort to ex-constitutional re-takings, enforced with ropes and lamp posts.
Lose one, lose them all. Moore himself might want to consider the ramifications of chucking his First Amendment protections to defame folks for a buck. The people might decide, lacking that lost constitutional recourse, to go bowling for lying documentarians.
Get rid of the Constitution, and the people’s pretend recourse… and they might stop pretending they do.
Maybe the tyrants will be counting on the out-numbered police to prop up their post-Constitution regime. How many officers would continue to be willing to do that once they’ve lost “constitutional” sovereign immunity, and the people know it?
Perhaps the Constitution has only been an illusory paper restraint on government. But it has been a potent symbolic restraint on the people, preventing them from eliminating abusive politicians and government agents out of hand. I do not truly comprehend the willingness — nay, the eagerness of the Left to go there, to surrender that protection, given the likely consequences.
We’d be starting from scratch, with new rules written by the survivors.

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