    Stellars….

    Hope your sunrise is beautiful…

    And your sunset is peaceful…

    I posted this late last night. Looks like a lot of the “green new scam” remains in the budget. Hope our guys have a plan to get it out of there soon.

    I hope every college president is made aware of this today to realize how evil these “protesters” are. Two Isreali embassy staffers were killed last night in DC. They have the shooter in custody and he speaks very good english. Almost like he might have been born and raised in this Country.

      I am going to say this bluntly. For months, maybe more than a year, we’ve been battling antisemitism online where we all met. It’s blatant and it’s hidden. There’s a crew who flag comments, not because they violate policy, contain nasty words or threats, but because they don’t like them, especially if they are one of the Jewish commenters or supporters.

      The leaders of that nasty bunch pride themselves on their MAGA identity.

      I say they are cowards and have the exact same reasoning and logic as the blue haired non binary pan sexual currently on strike at Starbucks.

      I say this not because young people are wearing fake head scarfs and protest on college campuses are the main problem.

      I am saying it because a big portion of the conservative “decent” people we think we know are trying to label people who have different opinions, religions, and attitudes as “operatives” who are pushing an agenda, and should be silenced. In my opinion, and I’ve given a lot of thought to it, we should be just as alarmed and appalled by these people as we are the gun grabbing open border crowd.

      These people are everywhere now, and they are accepted, and too few people call this out. Of particular concern to me are the Catholics who are outright anti-Semites. Oh, they have reason after reason to say they aren’t. But they’re talking points, that’s all. It’s no secret the Vatican has heavily favored the “Palestinian” cause, and as much as I have so far been thrilled, cautiously, by our new pope, I’m pretty sure that won’t change. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong.

      These people, where ever they are, are an eminent danger to our freedoms, and a clear contributing factor to the murders of those two young Israelis.

      The fact that the entire decent world, including especially those Muslims in every country who loudly and frequently spout their message of being a peace loving people, all of us, did not rise up after October 7 and finally stop this indescribable, inexcusable butchery, has left me total off kilter and adrift.

      Indeed, the world has embraced these savages and espouse their evil, cracked philosophical outlook.

      My brain is perhaps permanently fried.

        I agree with all of that, Menage. For what it’s worth, I rarely engage in conversation on that platform any longer. I don’t feel part of that community.

        Bless you, Menagerie! Standing up for what is right in today’s world isn’t easy.

        I usually regret reading the comment sections at various websites. The sheer ignorance and lack of common decency of so many is most disquieting. It’s especially distressing to read disparaging comments being made against Jews and Israel by those who claim to be Christians.

        The following is what God promised to Israel, the birthplace of Our Lord…

        Our God has not abandoned Israel, and neither should we. Her survival is nothing short of miraculous. It is due to His care and love and His everlasting promises. Praise be to Him!

          Thanks to all for coming into this conversation.

          Menagerie, thanks for pointing out that “indescribable, inexcusable butchery” was done on October 7. That alone should be enough. It is indeed a savage, evil, cracked philosophical outlook. Your brain is rational, at any other time such an act would be condemned.

          Stella, thank you for pointing out the the young man killed was Christian. I’m quite sure the murderer did not care. In that twisted mind it might even be considered a “plus”. Those of this mindset are dangerous to anyone who would challenge them.

          Lucille, Christianity is not allowed to be openly preached according to official Israeli government policy, I’ll let God determine whom He has chosen, or who chooses him, either in or outside of Israel. Beliefs, not lineage. They are entitled to their own.

          Romans 9:6
          6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
          KJV

          Romans 9:31-33
          But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
          32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
          33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
          KJV

          They are our allies and should be treated as such. They have a right to defend themselves and their nation from murderous fanatics schooled in an ancient hatred.

          Lucille,

          I neglected to thank you, it was not intentional.

          Thank you, too.

          I realize that what you posted is commonly done by Christians, but that verse was not to Israel, but to Abraham. Israel did not exist then.

          We are “children of Abraham” as he is the father of “all them that believe”.

          Galatians 3:6-9
          6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
          7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
          8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
          9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. KJV

          That’s why the peace negotiations in the Middle East are called the Abrahamic Accords.

    National Craft Distillery Day – Czar loved craft beer

    National Solitare Day – when I was in junior high I played every morning before going off to school

    National Maritime Day

    National Vanilla Pudding Day – wast of time. Put in some chocolate.

    National Buy a Musical Instrument Day – wouldn’t do me any good, I have no musical talent.

    This little soiree’ that we’re fixin’ to have is gonna make the Cruz/Beto dance look like kindergarten. Paxton v. Cornyn is going to be getting a lot of publicity. The primary isn’t until May 2, 2026! Lots of mind games in the media already under way. This may break all the records for primary spending, I’m betting. It will be interesting to see if Trump jumps in the middle of this.
