Happy Easter 2026!

24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body.[a] 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5 The women[b] were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men[c] said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here but has risen.[d] 6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to the hands of sinners and be crucified and on the third day rise again.” 8 Then they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.[e]

Where is NATO's compass?

Intuition alone is all many NATO members would need to make wise decisions, but for some reason they seem to be relying on awful Intel. Whomever it is that's feeding them bad nearsighted information doesn't have their best interest in mind. Moreover, they also still don't seem to understand the world under Trump moves faster and unexpectedly. I have a hunch the European map will be looking different in the very near future.

Message to Candace

Candace Owens, you're doing a great job with the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation, exposing Erika Frantzve. Please continue! With relevance to Trump, no other president in history has had to confront the enemy from within like him, and he has done what no-one else would. Moreover, he didn't give a timeline or said he would fix all issues in one year. My advice, be patient and give him time. The Iranian regime murdered 32,000 of their own only last month. If that regime ever got nukes, they wouldn't hesitate to use them on the west. Again, slow down and stick to Charlie and Erika, for now.

Can we please celebrate International Women's Day on any other date besides March 8th?

Can we please celebrate International Women's Day on any other date besides March 8th? This being said, if the purpose is solely to celebrate feminity, and not some other historical event, any other day is suitable. There are 365 days in a year. We can designate any of them to celebrate women.

Although this may sound irrelevant, here's why another day would be best. The Bolsheviks murdered many, including children. A wrong doesn't fix a wrong. Also, if you believe women gained the vote in a totalitarian system, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale. Only the elites make the decisions for all in such a system. Moreover, Marxism has never worked anywhere at any time in the history of our planet.

The following is some Wikipedia history, a site which normally defends the radical left.

The earliest version reported was a "Woman's Day" organized by the Socialist Party of America in New York City on 28 February 1909. In solidarity with them, communist activist and politician Clara Zetkin proposed the celebration of "Working Women's Day", approved at the 1910 International Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen, albeit with no set date;[8] the following year saw the first demonstrations and commemorations of International Women's Day across Europe. Vladimir Lenin declared 8 March as International Women's Day in 1922 to honour the women's role in the 1917 Russian Revolution....

Candace has millions of subscribers and listeners

To paraphrase one of Candace Owens' listeners; when something tragic and suspicious happens, for instance a friend is shot and killed, it's better to have one friend who asks thousands of questions and gets half of the answers correct than to have thousands of friends who don't ask any questions at all. There is nothing wrong with asking questions, by the way. Moreover, the more research and inquiry that can be made for anything, the better the results, usually.

Just clarifying

Enchanted Rock elevation is 1,824 feet 2 inches. Stone Mountain elevation is 1,686 feet. Just wanted to clarify. Anyhow, a couple guys near Enchanted Rock once said, "this successful life we're livin' got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys." If you don't know who, disregard. One of them was actually born in Abbott, but he is 92.

The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 brought into the United States about 828,000 square miles of territory from France, thereby doubling the size of the young republic.

In 1819, after years of negotiations, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams achieved a diplomatic coup with the signing of the Florida Purchase Treaty, which officially put Florida into U.S. hands at no cost beyond the U.S. assumption of some $5 million of claims by U.S. citizens against Spain. Formal U.S. occupation began in 1821....

Emperor Aleksandr II met with his key ministers in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and made the final decision to sell. The tsar wanted to negotiate a price with the Americans, and set $5 million as the lowest acceptable offer. Accordingly, he sent the Russian ambassador to the United States back to Washington with instructions to finalize terms for the deal with Secretary of State William H. Seward. Capitalizing on Seward's great eagerness to purchase Alaska, the Russian government bid up the ultimate price to $7.2 million.

The war—in which U.S. forces were consistently victorious—resulted in the United States’ acquisition of more than 500,000 square miles (1,300,000 square km) of Mexican territory extending westward from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean.

The Constitution allows Congress to admit "New States ... into this Union." By ratifying the Constitution in 1787-1790, the 13 original states—which declared independence from Great Britain in 1776 and initially united under the Articles of Confederation—joined the new federal government. An additional 37 states joined between 1791 (Vermont) and 1959 (Alaska and Hawaii). Each star on the national flag represents one of the 50 states.

Diminishing the Holocaust or denying it?

Lately I have heard some comparing ICE to the Gestapo or Nazis. The first question that comes to my mind is are the people saying this educated on WWII history? The simplest way to approach or analyze their comments is by doing a compare and contrast with what ICE is doing vs what the Nazis did.

ICE is arresting and deporting aliens who entered the United States unlawfully. Keep in mind, the Department of Homeland Security has offered to pay these aliens monetarily if they self-deport, which gives them the opportunity to return legally. However, if they don't self-deport they lose the opportunity to return. An immigrant or non-citizens have many civil rights in the United States; however, their presence is subject to immigration law; consequently, this fact grants the government more broad authority over their personal liberty by comparison to citizens. 

The Nazis were guilty of mass murder (the  genocide of millions of citizens). They  discriminated and ostracized, and placed many in concentration camps. I recently watched a clip of an interview with Geddy Lee in which he explained how his grandmother was able to save the lives of his mother and her sister in a Nazi camp by moving them around in the two morning lines. Basically, the Nazis made the prisoners make two lines in the morning...one line went to work and the other went to the gas chamber to die.

Without going into much detail, I have illustrated the difference between ICE and the WWII German Nazis. ICE is capturing illegals who didn't self deport, most of whom are convicted criminals, and sending them back home. The issue is that many are protesting and attacking ICE and comparing them to Nazis. It is believed that many of the protesters are being funded by Neville Roy Singham from what I have read recently, but that is another story.

The closing argument for this post is that comparing ICE to Nazis really diminishes what the Holocaust was, or perhaps even almost denies it altogether. This is dangerous ground to be treading on because it is a method of introducing a false narrative about one of the darkest moments in human history from a side twist to a story that is not the same.

Should it be unlawful for the press to lie?

Censorship and misapplication of the law would probably be the first arguments made in response to the phrase in this post's title. Nevertheless, it is a legitimate question based on what the press has evolved into. Should it be unlawful for the press to lie? Let's briefly explore.

He who controls information controls the narrative. This has been historically factual. The issue is that a narrative isn't always necessarily true. Also, historically the left has controlled media and information. In the United States we have freedom of the press by way of the Constitution. The issue is that the press doesn't always speak the truth. This is one of the reasons Donald Trump calls many media outlets "fake news." Without removing Constitutional rights, this problem can be resolved. How? The media has to speak the truth instead of fabricating narratives. This can be made into a specific law (one way or another), and subsequently that law can be enforced. Amending the Constitution would probably be the best way.

Part 3 to Question: are you in the wrong country?

In part 3 of this series, I simply wish to give a brief explanation. The oath of defending the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic is taken by U.S. officials (civil, military, and naturalized citizens). This is basically about pledging loyalty to the Constitution.

The President takes this oath during the inauguration, in which the left hand is placed over the Bible and the right hand is raised. The Supreme Court Chief Justice normally guides in the ceremony. Again, United States Officials (civil, military, and naturalized citizens) take this oath. Naturalized citizens take an oath which Jus Soli citizens do not.

Who are the enemies foreign and domestic? An enemy is a person or a nation who is actively opposed or hostile. Recently, Maduro was captured in Venezuela by U.S. military and brought to await trial in prison in the United States. He would obviously be considered a foreign enemy. Timothy McVeigh was an American responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing in April of 1995. Mr. McVeigh was considered a domestic terrorist. I provided two examples of enemies, foreign and domestic. Regardless of how this oath is interpreted, those taking it tend to honor it very seriously. 

I will close by repeating what I said in the first post. The United States was created on the land which it currently exists by European settlers who created a legal document for all its dwellers to abide by as the law of the land. By the way, that document is the United States Constitution, which was the first of its type in the entire world.
