Happy Sabbath, 13-14 June 2025

Even with all the severe weather we've been getting the past few days, it is always good to take a moment and reflect on the blessings of the Sabbath...

Damn Inclement Weather...

...now i know how people in Florida feel whenever they get wave after wave of weather come through their communities as we have here in Western NC the past few days....

Israel Strikes Multiple Targets Inside Iran...

And if reports are to be believed it was a combination strike agst. Iran's nuclear weapons facilities and targeted assassinations of several Iranian leaders...

Israel wasn't playing when they said over and over they would strike and by appearances they have; the question now (well, two of them) is (1) what Iran's response will be and (2) will anyone else get dragged into it?

LA Protests Continue For a Sixth Straight Night...

As you can tell by the Google News aggregator link, the big story across the country are the continuing protests against ICE (and agst. immigration enforcement) happening in Los Angeles for a sixth straight night...who would've thought in 2025 that enforcing immigration law written in the 1952 Immigration & Nationality Act would become a revolutionary act?

Founders Quote, 7 June 2025

With hearts fortified with these animating reflections, we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare, that, exerting the utmost energy of those powers, which our beneficent Creator hath graciously bestowed upon us, the arms we have compelled by our enemies to assume, we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live as slaves. - John Dickinson & Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of the Cause and Necessity of Taking up Arms — 1775

There's a pair of individuals on opposing sides of the American Revolution, figuratively speaking - Thomas Jefferson was one of the individuals most closely involved in the writing of the Declaration of Independence while John Dickinson worked until the very last to try and bring peace between the colonists and the British Crown before joining Jefferson and the others.

Putting Space Things In A CAT Scanner

Simply amazing, you know....seeing how x-ray and CT scanners have evolved over the past few decades; puts the work performed on older scanners (looking at you, Terminal Man!) to shame. That said, math skills and scientific work still matter; there's an anecdote from the early 90's about a join US-Russian team that was working on electromagnetic simulations.

The U.S. team brought in their equipment (which was top of the line for its' time) while the Russians used their own equipment (which wasn't)...however the Russians were able to match the Americans on their results; how? By simplifying the underlying math via. writing their own code for their equipment; the technical stuff would go over my head in an instant but the Russians' got to within 5-19% of the Americans' results.

Democratic "Integrity"

(The Patriot Post, 9 June 2025)

I'm honestly of the opinion now, in case I hadn't mentioned it before here, that Democrats are un-American, nay, anti-American scum. Republican might not be much of anything but they love America and what she stands for; can you same the same for the Democrat Party Demokkkrat Party?

Founders Quotes, 5-6 June 2025

A pair of Constitutional quotes from two of America's earliest presidents...

(1) It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God. = George Washington, as quoted by Gouverneur Morris in Farrand's Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 — 1787

(2) The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me [as President] according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption - a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated, not those who opposed it, and who opposed it merely lest the construction should be applied which they denounced as possible. - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Mesrs. Eddy, Russel, Thurber, Wheaton and Smith — 1801

One of the hallmarks of the Constitution is the stability of the government it provides for, a stability not many countries can boast.

The Democrats' Vision for America

Let this image sear into your soul.

This IS the Democrat vision for America, anarchy in the streets, foreign flags waving, and our values crushed under the weight of chaos.

Lawlessness isn’t the exception, it’s the plan.

Enough said. 

Los Angeles Protests - National Guard in LA - LIVE Breaking News Coverage

This is but another reason to hate - yes, I said it, hate - the Democratic Party and the Left in general. Ever since their beginnings, they've been a part of bigotry, discrimination, lawlessness, appeasement and treachery and how anyone with a sane mind could pull the lever for the Democrat Party Demonrats will forever be a mystery to me.
