Weekend Christians & Jews Truth Commentaries

The following extended historical review by Tony Badran is an exceptional piece on modern history in the Levant history.  His reporting will shock most Americans by revealing the enormous lies being perpetrated by evil and unworthy interests.

Badran’s impressive resume is here.  He is the news editor and Levant analyst for Tablet Magazine and a Research Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.  Tony Badran is a native of Lebanon and a friend of the incredible Caroline Glick.

Many Americans, particularly those who get their information from popular right-wing social media accounts and podcasters, now take it as an article of faith that there are ongoing massacres of Christians in Syria. Syria’s Islamist government, which in December replaced the Assad family regime that had ruled Syria for over five decades, is generally blamed. But more prominently, the massacres are said to be the fault of the United States and Israel, and the “neocons” who allegedly control both governments.

In fact, there has been no massacre of Christians in Syria. There was an uprising by Alawite militias, which is the sect of Muslims—not Christians—to which the Assad family belonged. Though Assad and his brother have left the country, local militias and loyalist commanders who had worked with the Iranians during the war have refused to disarm. With the new regime still lacking capacity and struggling to find its footing and impose central authority, these Alawite militia commanders, backed by Iran, started launching regular attacks against the new government forces. Earlier this month, they ambushed a unit of the security services, killing 16 soldiers, as part of a coordinated series of attacks—the most ambitious to date, and likely signaling Iranian and Hezbollah support. Since March 6, more than 1,000 people have reportedly been killed in the fighting, several hundred of whom appear to have been Alawite fighters and members of the new government’s security services.

and this revelation,

Attacks on “Christian Zionism” have long been central to the propaganda of terror-sponsoring anti-American regimes and movements, from the Palestinians to Iran, whose leaders describe evangelicals as deviant Christians who have distorted true Christianity—by which the mullahs mean the politics of local Christian communities that they rule over. This third world discourse is now being adopted into a full-blown op targeting American evangelicals, run most prominently by Tucker Carlson and his allies.

In April, Carlson hosted a Palestinian Lutheran pastor who routinely rails against American evangelicals and “Christian Zionism” as “imperial theology,” to denounce the American “religious right” and “Christian members of Congress” for supporting Israel’s war in Gaza and sending money “to oppress Christians,” instead of supporting “their brethren in the Holy Land.” Tucker framed the episode by singling out evangelicals, as he often does: “Many Christian churches in the United States, particularly evangelical churches, support [the fighting]. But there is virtually never a word about the Christians who live there. The ancient Christian community in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel proper.”

and this very shocking reveal,

The campaign doesn’t stop there. It’s now targeting evangelical readings of the scriptures, which inform their position on Israel and the Jews, under the guise of criticism of the “Scofield Reference Bible”—an early-20th-century study Bible (King James Version) annotated by the minister Cyrus I. Scofield, and which helped popularize dispensationalism. Carlson and his proteges (erroneously) trace the “heresy” of Christian Zionism to Scofield and his commentary. “The Scofield stuff,” Carlson noted, has had “massive implications for our foreign policy and in our domestic politics.” Carlson’s guest, country singer John Rich, helpfully informed his host that the Scofield study Bible was “connected to the Rothschilds.”

This is ugly and evil.  I don’t have time to follow all these people and yet Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others are out there doing this…

That’s where Judeo-Christianity kinda came from … The Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. And it was pushed because they owned the publisher … so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the megachurches across whole denominations of Christianity. So that was when Christianity kind of got Jewified.” Other low IQ antisemites on social media like Jake Shields and Dan Bilzerian would regurgitate these talkers, asserting that Scofield was “paid by Zionists,” and calling the study Bible “complete Jewish propaganda,” a “Zionist psyop,” that “edited sections about Israel that were not in the original protestant Bible.”

    It is going to be 78 and clear here today, a bit unusual for this time of year. The birds, squirrels and rabbits were having a field day until some bird sounded the alarm and all the critters and birds vanished in 6 microseconds. The next thing I knew there was a big, nearly 30″ long, American Goshawk sitting on the Dogwood limb outside my kitchen window. It’s the largest of northeastern types of hawks with a wingspan of nearly 48 inches.

    However dark the place your fertile imagination took you when thinking about the public health bureaucracy in DC, the stark reality is much worse.

    “A few isolated divisions are neglecting public health altogether and seem only accountable to the industries that they’re supposed to be regulating,” Kennedy said of the plan. “In one case defiant bureaucrats impeded the secretary’s office from accessing the closely guarded databases that might reveal the dangers of certain drugs and medical interventions.”

    and,

    To demonstrate how dysfunctional the department was when he took charge, he revealed that it’s organizational (Org) chart was incomprehensible.”

    “There was no chain of command,” he explained, adding that “territorial” and “self-serving” employees were operating in “all these different silos and fifedoms.”

    According to Kennedy, within these silos, officials were “selling patient information to each other.” He told Cuomo that when he tried to obtain Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) depersonalized patient data—which belongs to HHS—”the sub-agency said we have to buy it from them!”

    I have read the article linked in the OC in its entirety. Twice. And will do so again.

    Though enlightening on some fronts, it leaves me more confused than before.

    But my instincts tell me that Israel is really screwed, now.

      It is long-form journalism and Badran packs so much information into his writing, it almost requires a chart to visualize all the players. However, the revelations about Tucker Carlson/Candace Owens & Co. quietly driving a movement to destroy the Evangelical support for Israel is very enlightening and infuriating. Even though I first profiled Candace Owens on this site years ago, I came to distrust her years past. Tucker had me fooled though and I was a fan for a while. Now, I believe they are both evil and have zero use for either one.

      There is much more there and Badran’s lengthy discourse on foreign policy, geopolitical strategies and America’s self interest are hard truths not always easy to reconcile with our faith and beliefs. He is right though.

        There’s always been a visible undercurrent of antisemitism in the American political Right. All you have to do is read the comment sections of so many of the conservative websites. It’s one of the reasons I rarely read or participate in the comments on most sites – there’s no fighting the troglodytes.

        I always assumed that American Jews never trusted the Republicans because of these scumbags, and therefore vote Democrat. But now that the Democrats have become the party of Jew hatred, I guess they don’t know which party to support.

        I do find it hard to believe that the Carlson/Owens cadre can successfully turn large numbers of pro-Israel Evangelicals.

        But the Devil is ever persistent and unwavering in his mission. One day at a time.

    There have already been several questionable state level special elections lost to Democrats under suspicious circumstances. The Republicans better get on this now or we will lose in 2026.

    The elections director of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is apparently playing sheriff. Meanwhile, workers allegedly have been handling ballots in secret rooms inadmissible to observers for weeks.

    City workers are allegedly using secret offices, off limits for observers, to handle ballots for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, multiple sources told The Federalist. Milwaukee Elections Director Paulina Gutierrez also allegedly claimed “police powers” to remove observers in a March 19 meeting at Milwaukee Central Count.

      Remember that the reason the Democrats want this State Supreme slot so badly is for redistricting, hoping for two more democrat districts to help flip the House. Sadly I have a feeling that the election has already been stolen. ~SPITS~

    Hubby’s in Nacogdoches at a car show today. He towed the club’s dune buggy project car on his new fancy tilt trailer, so he’s not showing his own car this time around. He said the next time someone else better volunteer to take the buggy because he’s showing his own car. They’re hoping to sell $10,000 worth of raffle tickets. That’ll cover the cost of the rebuild on the buggy and also fund the Christmas gifts for the needy kids later in the year.

    I’m at home, actually slept in a bit for a change. I gave away six rosaries yesterday, so I’ll be working on replenishing my stash today. Two of the replacements have been made so far – of course they are pink. I have to keep making pink and purple to replace the ones requested.

    Ukrainian minerals deal: even though there was some progress, Zelensky managed to put his boots deep into dog doo-doo and ruin things. He just can’t keep his mouth shut, it seems. It’s now 55 pages long and highly demanding. A Ukrainian economist claims it “turns Ukraine into an American colony”.

    The new offer requires Ukraine to cough up royalties and interest from all its natural resources —not just ‘rare earths’— including oil, gas, and all types of minerals. And not just from its state-owned companies, but from all private resource development companies as well. Ukraine must repay the United States for all the aid it has received plus 4% interest, with the United States deciding how much goes to the U.S. and how much Ukraine can keep.

    And apart from protecting our interests, there are no other promises of protection from the U.S. I’m assuming, from previous posts, that arranging things in that fashion protects at least part of the relationship between us and Russia.

    Mr. C. points out that Ukraine’s history of corruption and possible previous arrangements with other high ranking actors for those minerals already.

    Womp, womp. Zelensky could have had a good deal last month, if he’d just kept his broken English to himself and signed. Instead, he humiliated himself and got ejected from the Oval Office like a crazed climate protestor perp-walked off the White House lawn. His wee temper tantrum gave America more time to think a little harder about everything and —since Zelensky is holding no cards— to tighten up the terms.

    And it seems the Ukrainians still haven’t learned to keep their mouths shut and continue to flap their traps. It’s like a bunch of toddlers being denied their toys or something.

    And, now that USAID is finally and formally shuttered and shut down for good:

    Grifters, …were hardest hit. “Humanitarian workers” —who receive USAID grants— and former USAID officials” —formerly on payroll— “blasted what they labeled a ham-fisted shuttering of a crucial operation of the U.S. government.” …

    … Guess what the main “fierce backlash” argument was? Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) impotently warned that, thanks to closing USAID, “Diseases we worked for decades to confront and eradicate are now at risk of landing on our shores.”

    /snip

    We aren’t buying the disease thing anymore. They need a new mantra.

    I am currently reading a book on the history and miracles attributed to what we Catholics call “The Miraculous Medal”. Among the miracles that have occurred is the transformation from a High Wizard of the Satanic Church to a hard-core Catholic. Some of the recent pages I read involved his attendance at Bohemian Grove and other conferences where the global elites would gather to plan their world domination. Among those things discussed were pandemics and “vaccines” to reduce the world population. The wizard thought it was silliness. One of the biggest proponents was a billionaire referred to as “Mr. G.” and that billionaire handed out adrenochrome and tried to force everyone to drink it. I won’t go into the horribleness of that particular substance. When I get a chance, I’ll share those pages.

    So, it doesn’t surprise me that disease is being used to harness the populace and herd the people with fear. It’s being discussed at the highest levels.

    The court’s decision to allow DOGE to continue is another win for Trump. Again, I thank Mr. Childers for explaining the ins and outs of all of the restraining orders. But more than refusing the TRO, the court has supported Trump’s argument for his clean-up orders:

    Then, for good measure, the Court briefly considered the government’s case. It did find irreparable harm— for DOGE. “The district court has, based on alleged injuries from a handful of plaintiffs, issued injunctive orders that dictate and restrict a separate branch of government. Unlike the harm alleged by plaintiffs, this harm cannot be remedied by monetary damages. It truly is irreparable.”

    That was the shot heard ‘round the world’s courtrooms: District judges enjoining the President are causing irreparable harm.

    Finally, warming to its theme, the order added several more refreshing comments about district courts minding their own business. I bet this language will soon begin appearing in all the government’s briefs:

    Even despite this ruling, more lawsuits are pending. Being spanked is enough to stop the left. They are still hoping to grind Trump’s administration to a halt, or at least buy more time until they get their collective act together. In the meantime, the slush fund at USAID is gone.

    Why’d they tackle that obscure agency first, and why so fast and hard against USAID? The next story will blow your mind.

    Yes, pray tell! Onward!

    More from the C&C: DOGE is visiting the CIA next week. I hope the DOGE folks have their heads on a swivel. Belly of the beast, so to speak.

    … newly confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe “invited” Elon Musk, personally, to come to CIA HQ on Monday to start discussing DOGE and efficiency. That’s it. Sounds boring.

    But it was somewhat curious news because, until now, the security agencies were considered safely DOGE-exempt.

    I believe that Herridge’s tweet was a muted declaration that Trump’s war against the Deep State just entered its final, conclusive chapter. And the outcome will change history forever— for better or for worse. Let me explain.

    Mr. C. offers this timeline in consideration: Trump creates DOGE, there’s a series of declassification and releasing of documents that makes the CIA a new target, Ratcliffe is made the new CIA Director, the CIA slush fund agency USAID is shut down, and then Musk is invited in for a visit.

    It seems that the CIA has been softened up as a target.

    Mr. C. thinks that Ratcliffe has been subject to the limits of the CIA’s procedure of “compartmentalization” and is subject to being ignorant on much of what has been going on under his new command.

    But, things are different this time. Having softened up the CIA, Ratcliffe is now bringing in DOGE, which can “efficiently” scoop all the CIA’s operations up into a single, controllable, digital, blockchained portal.

    DOGE can make it so Ratcliffe can see for himself. He’ll no longer be spoonfed.

    And that is probably scary to the folks who are used to “really” running things.

  18. Tedtam Avatar
    Tedtam

    C&C:

    Imagine a new, AI-powered, top-secret, digital DOGE dashboard at Langley that can show Ratcliffe everything in real-time: every dollar, every operation, every contract, every overseas asset being paid — and only Trump’s team will hold the keys. Once such a dashboard were installed, the Agency’s permanent staff couldn’t play their covert games anymore. No more secret drug ops. No more unauthorized coups. No more backchannel slush funds.

    No more resist Trump operations.

    If DOGE can pull this off, the Agency will properly become an extension of the White House, rather than the other way around.

    Just imagine….

    In other words, DOGE at CIA is the nuclear option. It is a breathtaking vision of a brand-new reality that could dismantle the entire postwar geopolitical model. Now, permanent, unelected bureaucrats and spies hold the real power, because they control the money, secrets, and the levers of influence, while manipulated elected officials come and go like figure skaters blissfully unaware of all the busy little crustaceans teeming right below the ice.

    If Trump/DOGE is succesful, the Deep State is gone.

    … No more shadow government. No more covert meetings between “resisters” discussing how to undermine the elected President and thwart his agenda.

    To be perfectly clear: DOGE in intelligence suggests, not just draining the swamp, but the engineered desertification of the swamp.

    Until the evilness and corruption is able to rebuild, that is.

  19. Tedtam Avatar
    Tedtam

    C&C: there will be tremendous resistance to the reversal of the Deep State’s current fortunes:

    What’s coming next could make the Trump 1.0 “resistance” look like kindergarten dodgeball.

    Tesla dealership firebombs may be only the warmup act. Expect massive, all-out lawfare against Musk and DOGE. Look for more wild intelligence leaks designed to destabilize Trump and Ratcliffe. Even more addled progressive terrorists will be activated to cause mayhem. As the Swamp recruits its overseas allies, anticipate coordinated global backlash —the media, the EU, the UN, the NGOs— all screaming about “dictators,” “tyranny,” “kings,” and “creeping authoritarianism.”

    Given what we already know, we can expect false flag attacks pinned to DOGE or Musk, to force public outrage and political blowback. Remember 2020’s Summer of Protest during covid? Those masked protests may look tame in contrast.

    But Trump has come in ready for battle. He has spent four years planning for battle and making battle plans. Let’s hope they are successful, because Mr. C. points out that if Trump fails, TPTB will put up bulwarks that will prevent any future attacks on their power.

    But it sure looks to me like this is the final cage match. It’s the ThunderdomeTwo secret armies enter— one army leaves. And things will happen fast. This high-stakes battle for control of the United States government will unfold at the speed of DOGE.

    I’m going to enjoy the comments.

    I have been reading Walter Russell Mead’s The Arc of a Covenant, his opus on the America, Israel, international affairs and the often contradictory positions countries have to take. It can be frustrating and sometimes very disappointing to confront certain realities like Badran points out.

    Armenia is almost 99% Christian and Azerbaijan is 97% Muslim but the Azerbaijanis are allies of Israel and Armenia is very pro-Iran. What are you going to do ? With Putin on their northern border and the Iranian mullahs on the southern border, Azerbaijanis desperately need friends in the West no matter how Islamic they may be. Their major city of Baku is the birthplace of Stalin and Vladimir would love to take it back.

    THE WEEK IN PICTURES: SIGNALS CROSSED EDITION

    In Week 10 of the Trump administration, battles of one kind or another are raging across the country. Teslas and Tesla dealerships are being torched. Tim Walz has taken his act on the road, reminding everyone why he was the worst major-party candidate in modern history. Leaders of left-wing institutions–National Public Radio and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting–were summoned by the House’s DOGE subcommittee to answer for their tweets. Democratic Party judges continued their assault on the Executive Branch. Tariffs appeared and disappeared amid talk of a trade war. And, for the moment at least, the stock market is in free-fall.

    And, oh yes–we bombed the Houthis. The actual bombing has been forgotten in the storm of controversy over left-wing journalist Jeffrey Goldberg sitting in on pre-bomb deliberations. Which maybe was the idea.

    The great Matt Taibbi is such a good writer, it’s worth to read the first few paragraphs of of his Substack column, most of which is behind a paywall.

    In a polarized commercial media space, pressure has always been brought to bear on tech platforms to choose sides. Right and left long fought for influence within Google or Facebook. The anti-Substack rants that filled corporate op-ed pages for years, though, were always transparent arguments to suppress or boycott the whole platform as a thinly-veiled bigoted/conservative outpost. Of course it never was that, but this was the argument.

    Now, with corporate press in collapse and hordes of refugees of the Jennifer Rubin/Norm Eisen/Jim Acosta type fleeing here in the hope of monetizing last microns of name recognition, an effort is coming to sanitize the platform. I first heard months ago that some of these new arrivals were under the impression that Substack executives would feel so lucky to have them, they’d consider ridding the platform of its more disreputable riffraff. In other words, rather than simply crush an annoying independent competitor, the new argument will be about making Substack a safe space for its influx of mainstream snowflakes.

     

    I didn’t believe anyone would say this out loud until I read the Bloomberg piece. I’m not in favor of censorship, but” has been one of the most loathsome tropes in the legacy op-ed space, but even within the genre, Karl’s piece stands out. As Beavis and Butthead would say, it’s the “ass of the ass.” Lowlights:

    I just saw how Trump could legally serve a third term – and maybe a fourth – if his election partner is loyal: trump runs as JD’s VP, for example.
    JD Vance gets elected
    JD Vance is sworn in
    JD Vance resigns

    And it could even be repeated, with Trump at age 90. Not likely, but the idea will, I’m sure, wad a lot of panties into painful knots.

    It’s Sunday so let’s start the day with this very nice example of a 66 Chevy El Camino SS 396. 66 wasn’t my favorite year for the Chevelle series but this El Camino kinda’ caught my eye. I put some Wright bacon in the oven about 15 minutes ago and I’m planing on a plain bacon, egg, grits N toast breakfast later this morning.
    SO! Mornin’ Gang

    One of my pet peeves – I am astonished by what women wear even in church services. I almost LOL’d when the Speedo conversation started up. The real conversation starts at the 4:51 mark.

    I agree with one of the comments – we older women need to be teaching this. I have seen sheer blouses (displaying the bra and skin underneath), skin tight, mini-length dresses, leggings (some of them stretched tightly enough to be see-through), etc. I remember a video where a priest was talking about the low-cut tops: “I have women coming up for Communion and their cleavage is showing. I may be a priest, but I am also a man.” I don’t think women think about that.

    I am glad I attend a traditional Catholic church. We don’t have that problem.

    Check out these new bats the New York Yankees have developed.

    In the middle of a record-setting afternoon for the Yankees, the tweaked bat design that helped contribute to their nine home runs spent some time in the spotlight, too.

    Shortstop Anthony Volpe and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. are two players using a design where the barrel is placed in a nontraditional spot on the bat, according to YES Network, and both players homered during the Yankees’ 20-9 rout of the Brewers on Saturday — with Volpe even launching his just a few pitches after the segment.

    The Yankees’ adjustment is legal, The Post confirmed. It doesn’t violate Rule 3.02 of the league’s handbook, which states that bats can’t be more than 2.61 inches in diameter and 42 inches in length.

    The Washington Free Beacon blew up the new president of Columbia University triggering her resignation. I’m telling you, this is pretty funny.
    All these academic geniuses had a Zoom meeting with 75 faculty members so this new president could reassure everyone nothing would change and she wasn’t really caving into Trump’s demands. When they went to “private” mode they couldn’t figure out how to turn off the transcription of the audio. And then somebody sent a copy to the WFB who published it.

    The Washington Free Beacon obtained a transcript of the meeting, which seems to have been created because Columbia administrators were unable to disable the Zoom function that generates an audio transcript. The transcript itself captures administrators struggling to prevent the software from creating a transcript and then moving forward without success.

    “I am unable to turn it off, for technical reasons, so we’re all just going to have to understand,” an unnamed administrator said at the outset. “This meeting is being transcribed. If you are the requester of this, I would ask you to turn it off.”

    “Yeah, that seems to be the default. I keep telling my people to stop this thing,” Olinto, the provost, responded.

    This is almost too much to stomach. The one institution carrying the battle flag for the strident, inflexible, modern Left suddenly slams on the brakes. The most prominent media organization in the world publishing the daily handbook for the Democratic Party now postures as a disapproving parent.

    The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans. 

    It’s a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats’ obsession with identity politics and their “scolding, censorious posture” have driven voters straight into Republicans’ arms.

    “In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message,” the editorial board writes. “They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.”

      But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Without identity politics, what do Democrats even have? Strip that away, and all that’s left is a pile of failed policies and a party with nothing to fall back on—no distractions, no scapegoats, no emotional manipulation to cover for their incompetence. It’s the only playbook they know, and without it, they’re completely exposed.

      Pretty much says it. Oh and Emphasis mine.

    I’ve been asking this question since long before DOGE came along.

    One can’t help but wonder what the 11,000+ members of the American Political Science Association has been doing all these years. I’ve always suspected the Deep State was as incompetent as it was corrupt, but the size and scale of it has shocked even me.

    So, @DOGE has been uncovering a vast network of Leftist activist financing that, for decades, has taken taxpayer money from govt bureaucracies through NGOs to fund Leftist causes & propaganda.

    Meanwhile, for decades, thousands of ‘political science’ professors have been studying the US government, political ideologies, & partisanship.

    Question: did any of these academic political scientists discover this Leftist funding network, and analyze its impact on American society?

    If not, why not?

    Cats getting sick and dying from bird flu caught be eating cat food with raw chicken in it ?!?!!

    Good grief ! I wonder what dog foods have raw chicken, duck or bird meat in them.

    The manufacturer of the pet food, Wild Coast Pet Foods, subsequently recalled lots of the formula Kira had consumed due to potential bird flu contamination.

     

    Hanson filed a lawsuit against the company earlier this month, alleging that it had failed to disclose the risk of bird flu in its raw pet food. He is seeking roughly $8,000 to cover the cost of Kira’s veterinary bills. Wild Coast did not respond to a request for comment. In a letter to customers, the company said it had “transitioned to fully cooked poultry recipes to eliminate any potential risk.”

      Back in 1984, the son of legendary Houston Cougar coach Guy Lewis was living in Bellville and owned a very cool old saloon style place called the the Lone Star Bar. The whole town was wrapped up in the game that night. The son and his wife had gone to see the game so the bar was closed. It was a heartbreaker when Houston lost to Georgetown. If I recall, the game was played in Albuquerque.

      also this,

      In January 1968, his underdog Cougars, led by Hayes, upset John Wooden‘s undefeated and top-ranked UCLA Bruins 71–69 in front of 52,693 fans at the Houston Astrodome. This was the first nationally televised regular season college basketball game and subsequently became known as the “Game of the Century.” It marked a turning point in the emerging popularity of college basketball. In the early 1980s, Lewis’s Phi Slama Jama teams at UH gained notoriety for their fast-breaking, “above the rim” style of play as well as their overall success. At the height of Phi Slama Jama’s notoriety, they advanced all the way to the national championship game in 1983 and 1984, along the way notching consecutive 30-win seasons.

    This is a beautiful thing. David whips Goliath again. There is no way to know the total number of ways the Biden/Obama/Harris administration attempted to destroy or severely encroach on the rights of American citizens.

    This happened before Biden & Harris were even sworn in and was obviously the work of Biden supporters on that US Army base.

    At issue was a little-known section of U.S. code that requires the Army to make rifle and pistol ranges available for civilian use as long as it does not interfere with military training. The law prohibits officials from charging exorbitant fees for range access.

    Another federal statute requires the Army to provide logistical support to the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The Fort Devens Rifle & Pistol Club, Inc. is an affiliate of both the Civilian Marksmanship Program and the National Rifle Association.

    and,

    Just days after the 2020 election, the club was notified in writing that they would have to start paying a minimum of $250 per range, and the fees would increase based on the total number of shooters.

    Stunning News From the Science World: Chickens Lay More Eggs When They Aren’t Dead !

    Researchers at the Institute of Feathered Futures (IFF) have uncovered a startling truth: chickens lay more eggs when you stop mass-slaughtering them under the questionable pretext of preventing bird flu. The findings, published this week in the journal Poultry Progress, have sparked outrage, confusion, and a lot of clucking in the agricultural world, threatening to upend decades of knee-jerk poultry policies.

    Hubby and I purchased a delivery box so that Amazon and others could safely deposit our packages in a locked container. I have updated the delivery instructions on Amazon, and the black box is firmly strapped to a post on our front porch, and there is a sign on it that tells people to put packages inside and then push the silver button on the side of it to activate the lock. The first guy managed to do it quite well without any problem. But everyone after that has had serious issues with following simple instructions. They’ve been delivering them to the wrong door, or at the door, instead of in the box. The one tonight just absolutely cracked me up. We got an Amazon delivery, but the driver left it next to the box, however he did read the instructions and locked the empty box. Pictures to follow.

    Hubby just suggested that I make new instructions. Step. By. Step.

    1. Pull the handle to open the box.
    2. Place packages inside.
    3. Close the door.
    4. Push the silver button on the side to lock.

    Would that be too confusing? Of course, I’m asking people who have an IQ higher than a cantaloupe.

    While the local #TeslaTakedown protest may appear spontaneous and community-driven, it is the product of a well-funded, tightly coordinated campaign led by national political organizations like the Indivisible Project, MoveOn.org, and professional protest firms. These groups use digital platforms, pre-scripted chants, pre-printed signs, and nationwide toolkits to manufacture the appearance of grassroots activism, and the messages on Tyco Road mirror the language of protests nationwide. This kind of organizing is known as “AstroTurfing”—a term used to describe top-down efforts that mimic authentic, bottom-up civic engagement. 

    Critics say these operations mislead the public, distort the media narrative, and erode trust in genuine democratic movements by masking partisan objectives behind a veneer of local outrage.

    A protester had parked a wagon nearby with a sign, “Poster lending library.”

    and

    According to the data: 

    Groups and individuals allied with the Democratic Party have organized 100% of the protests. 

    Only about 15 organizations and their affiliates are behind all of the protests. 

    Groups involved in the #TeslaTakedown protests have combined revenues of at least $43.1 million.

    Troublemakers, a Seattle-based professional protest organization, and the Disruption Project, a Philadelphia group that describes itself as “dedicated to supporting uprisings, resistance, and mass direct action,” have sponsored about 70%, or 220, of the protests.

    The Indivisible Project has organized at least about 29%, or 87, of the protests. 

    Local Democratic Party chapters have organized some protests, including members’ participation in the Fairfax County protest.

    Other Democratic organizations have sponsored protests, including the AFL-CIO, MoveOn.org, Swing Left, Third Act Initiative Inc., the Democratic Socialists of America, the Fight Oligarchy Club, 50501, and Tax Reformers LLC, which organize under the platform TaxElon.us.

    I had a conversation with our Mexican neighbor, Isaac, who’s moved into that house that has been our annoyance for years. It seems that he’s the only responsible member of the family. His sisters have not only abused their pets, abandoned their mother, and left the house in decrepit condition, they also stole all of the mother’s money from her bank account. Isaac is trying to get it back and has reported them to Adult Protective Services. He now has a medical POA in place and is getting the financial POA and will signed tomorrow. Mom is getting a pacemaker. It also turns out that the sisters have refused to give Mom her medication for the past three months, which almost killed her. And Isaac is taking them to court to recover Mom’s money.

    He said that they haven’t come to see her in months, but when they heard that she was near death they came to the hospital to proclaim their love and affection – and to try to refuse efforts by medical staff to treat their mother. They tried to get her discharged into their “care” but the hospital demanded to see their POA paperwork, which they didn’t have, of course.

    Isaac and his wife are slowly trying to refurb the house. They’ve done a major clearing out of the old furniture, which was probably full of dog pee and mold. He is livid over what they’ve done to Mom and to her house.

    I like this guy. Finally, someone who gives a wiss about the house and is going to fight for his mother instead of wishing her dead to get possession of her property. He’s beefed up the locks and put up security cameras all around the house in case they try to break into the home.
