War of Extermination
Timothy Birdnow
Can't this hospital lose it's accreditation? It should.
The staff thought they were ICE agents and refused the injured men treatment.
The hospital made a hasty apology only after learning they were NYPD, but it was half-hearted at best and it's doubtful they would have apologized had these men actually been ICE.
Hospitals and the doctors and nurses who staff them, are supposed to treat any and all patients, no judgement. Hospitals treat prisoners all the time, and not just the nice ones; they treat serial killers and rapists and every other scumbag and it's considered their professional duty to divorce their personal or political views from their treating of patients. But now in the new woke America it's o.k. to refuse treatment to people with whom we disagree - or think we disagree.
This was where it was always going and where it will continue to go if we don't win this fight; the Left will declare many of us Tuntouchables and we will be denied medical treatment, employment, utilities, you name it.
The Chicoms have already been doing this with their social credit score; if you get a bad score (and that by talking to the wrong people or trying to participate in civic activities the Party does not like) you get denied treatment in hospitals, and you can't fly on planes or travel or work at good jobs or rent apartments or get phone service. The American Left is trying to bring the same standard here.
That is why this hospital needs to die. It must be an example to everyone that if you pull this crap you will suffer terribly. We need to bring every form of economic and political and legal pressure we can on this place.
I know, I know...I'm going to be accused of creating my own social credit score. Maybe I am, to a degree, but the aggressor sets the rules of engagement and they are the ones who threw down the gauntlet. They will throw down more than a gauntlet next time if we let them off so easily. Sadly, politics is war by another means and while Jesus forgives and so do we there still has to be consequences; God doesn't let the unrepentant off the hook. Even the repentant have to pay the price for their sins. Kill a man, for instance, and God will forgive you vut He won't get you out of jail. You have to pay the penance.
The employees at this hospital went WAY over the line, and the hospital has fired nobody, meaning they agree with the actions of these horsepiddlers. There MUST be a price to be paid or this will spread, like blood poisoning. Sometimes an infected limb has to be cut off.
If nothing else this should lead to a billion dollar lawsuit which will bankrupt the hospital. Maybe the Sekulow Center for Law and Justice will take this case? This needs to be just one avenue of attack.
Another thing we can do is the Florida bus trick, send busloads of sick illegals to seek treatment at this hospital. If they don't want ICE there so be it! We should send them from all of our states, just transplrt thousands of illegal aliens to the ER of this hospital.
If that's what they want....
NYPD should refuse "treatment" for the hospital and for hospital staff, at least those involved. But of course the NYPD is more professional than these woke staffers, alas. Still it's fun to think about; what would happen if the NY Police said they would no longer offer protection for this hospital. No doubt the hospital could beef up it's own security but at what cost? And the hew and cry would be titanic, and the media would never once mention the hypocrisy of it all.
Something must be done. If nothing else we need rowdy protestors to plant themselves outside of the hospital and intimidate the losers who run the place.
But of course we'll do none of this and the Left knows it. Socialism advances by using our decencies against us and it always has. THEY have no decency and no standards and will do whatever it takes. Sadly we won't do likewise and I still hear so many good Conservatives saying how we don't want to become them. That may be right; we DON'T want to become them. But no soldier on any battlefield (well, few anyway) ever wanted to become a killer either, but when it's us or them you kill. Our side still hasn't figured it out; these people mean to kill us or otherwise wipe us out. This is a war. Until we understand that we will continue to treat this like a gentleman's disagreement and they will continue to treat it as a war of extermination. An asymmetric war of extermination leads to one side being exterminated.

This gives us the RINO view of Conservatives perfectly:
"There was always an element of the Republican Party that was batshit crazy. They had lots of different names—they were John Birchers, they were ‘movement conservatives,’ they were the religious right. And we did what every other Republican candidate did: we exploited them. We got them to the polls. We talked about abortion. We promised—and we did nothing. They could grumble, but their choices were limited.”
Bob Martinez, former Republican Governor of Florida and George H.W. Bush's drug czar.
We have always had to fight the Democrats, the media, and a large chunk of our own party. With friends like these....

Wishful Thinking
Timothy Birdnow
This is what the media has been reduced to - worrying about
bruising on Trump's hands. They write these big, dark stories intimating there is something seriously wrong with Mr. Trump and that we should invoke the 25th Amendment.
So they guy bruises his hands a lot. He is a very active man and as he says he takes aspirin daily and has a tendency to whack things. Big deal.
This MIGHT be an issue if Trump were running for re-election (it's not, and the media has covered up all sorts of illnesses in past Presidents. In fact the public did not know Franklyn D. Roosevelt was in a wheelchair because the media simply did not report it.)
The reality is they are eager to report anything that might keep the spirits of their depressed and insane base high. The idea Trump might be sick is just another such tool.
If they are so worried about Presidential health, why didn't they worry about the things swimming around in Bill Clinton's genitalia, or ask why Barack Obama has gotten so thin?

Insurrectionist AG in Arizona
Timothy Birdnow
Arizona's Attorney General actual said illegal aliens can
shoot ICE agents and do so legally under the state's laws governing self defense.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes suggested in an interview with Channel 12 News that the state's "stand your ground" law was applicable in this instance because ICE agents are plain-clothe law enforcement and wearing masks.
From the article:
The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s "Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a "recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers.
"It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE "very poorly trained.”
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents under the state’s "Stand Your Ground” law.
"And we have a Stand Your Ground law that says that if you reasonably believe that your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force.”
How, pray tell, does she "know" they are "very poorly trained"? Has she had any direct interaction with any ICE agents? This has become the Democrats' go-to argument, that ICE agents are poorly trained. Can she give us the training they have received? It's just a big fat lie.
And this woman knows that what she said is an invitation for illegals to shoot it out with the law enforcers. Frankly she should be prosecuted for inciting violence.
The Democrats are the true insurrectionists. This is just one more example.

"We have uncovered the enemy and it is us" should be the dems new slogan. Perhaps she would be better off not opening her fly trap and take time to concentrate her efforts as to what effects a 2spirit has on a 10spirit and their effects on the 50spirit. These are pressing gender issues only the left can conceive and solve!

Indeed a number of states have rogue AGs these days.
And Tim, please fix this post. 90% of it is under a link and shouldn't be. Thanks.

Corruptocrats in Virginia
Timothy Birdnow
A Virginia Democrat, in an astonishing act of pure chutzpah, has
introduced a bill before the state legislature to make verifying the eligibility of anyone applying for aid from an NGO illegal, despite the explosive nature of the fraud in Minnesota and likely a few other Blue states.
State Rep. Jessica Anderson submitted a one page bill which states:
"No state agency responsible for the administration of federal funds shall impose a requirement on a nonprofit charitable organization providing a federal public benefit to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of eligibility of any applicant for such benefits,”
Why on God's Green Earth would anyone introduce such a bill at this time?
My guess is that a LOT of this fraud money was going back to the Democrats and they not only want to push this all back in the shadows but want it to continue, and I suspect Anderson was willing to take the heat for it. I suspect she is in a very safe district and doesn't mind looking like a crook.

Well, with the election of Abigail Spanberger as governor in Virginia, that state has gone totally over the edge for the next four years or so. But I'm distressed, though not surprised I guess, to see that they've used Minnesota as their template for corruption, considering how hard we are working to make ourselves the absolute model of perfection in that sort of thing.

Yeah Dana; you guys are number one, but staying on top requires a lot of work. Not sure your Somalis and Tampon Tim and Muzzie Ellison are up to the challenge! St. Louis used to be number one in crime and we've slipped; we have to work harder on that score!
But you guys are tops now, so bathe in the warm glow of success!

The Trump Economic Boom
Timothy Birdnow
Well whatdya know!
But, but,but..pollsters keep telling us the public is upset about "affordability" and is eager to rush out and vote for the Democrats and it's all that SOB Dpnald Trump's fault and Republicans had better wake up and elect moderates while there is still time.
If spending is up and consumer confidence is up how is that the case? Methinks the polls are full of sh, er, poo!
Turns out the economy grew a whopping 4.4% in the last quarter. That is quite robust. And it wouldn't happen if the public was still sour on their economic prospects.

Spendthrifts
Timothy Birdnow
Well, we are going to lose Elon Musk again, certainly, and Rand Paul as well.
Surely they ca fund immigration reform and still cut this number in half.
A trillion dollars is real folding money. (Actually it's not; it is non-existent money, which means we are in for more inflation.)
I so loathe the GOP sometimes. Yes, they are better than the Democrats, but this is inexcusable.

Mexico Embraces the Reconquista
Timothy Birdnow
Newsflash to Mexico; we didn't STEAL anything. Texas rebelled against a revolutionary government which suppressed the original constitution under which the Texans were happily living, and the U.S. paid
$15 million them for Texas as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. That was when fifteen million was real money (we paid that much for the Louisiana Territory.) We purchased the deeper southwest from Mexico as part of the Gadsden Purchase, proving Mexico had no interest in this land anyway I should also mention that Mexico only laid claim to that area because the Spanish had first claimed it, and they had few settlements and very little defensive capabilities in Texas or the Southwest. California rebelled against Mexican rule too and was an independent Republic for a short time. And Texas and California weren't the only places to rebel; Coahuila did, for instance and was destroyed by Santa Ana. There was also a Republic of the Rio Grande' on both sides of the river that would be destroyed by the Napoleon of the West as well. Mexico lost those territories because they couldn't get their act together and keep them. America in no way "stole" those territories. Also, a good chunk of Texas was supposed to be ours anyway; we bought it as part of the Louisiana purchase. Mexico claimed it and so we didn't argue at the time. But they stole it from us. We got it back.
(BTW I'm always interested in the small countries that would incorporate into the U.S. or attempt to splinter off from her. These include the Republic of West Florida which existed for ninety days after rebelling successfully against Spain and included the gulf coast up to Louisiana. It also included the Republic of the Rio Grande' and Texas and California and Hawaii. And of course there was the Confederated States of America. I find West Florida interesting; after kicking the Spanish out with the help of Jean Lafeet, the pirate, they applied for annexation but were given no answer so established their own government. After three months James Mdison decided to take the bull by the horns and just annexed it on his own, sending troops. The government there decided to fight it out and sent their own forces to oppose the Americans but upon seeing a strong, disciplined military thought better of it and so didn't fight and thus became the states of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana. The Bonny Blue Flag was their flag, and Texas stole the lone star from them.)
At any rate Mexican claims they were robbed are horsepoop. If they didn't want to lose that land they should have settled it themselves and developed it, and they shouldn't have picked a fight with us. It was the threat of Mexican troops massing along the southern border that led to the Mexican War in the first place.

Mr President We Cannot Allow a GIUK Gap!
Timothy Birdnow
Here is what hs wanted all along; he wants the U.S. to have total access to Greenland without haing to crawl to Denmark every time we want to build a base or station forces or whatnot.
And this is the deal that is being negotiated now; full access. Talk of annexation - voluntary or not - was Trump's negotiating tool to force the Danes to quit playing footsie with the Chicoms and Russians and let us defend the island and the GIUK Gap properly. (That's the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom Gap, fyi. The open water connecting the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans and only really opne waters in the Arctic.)
Last summer Denmark expanded U.S. access to Greenland to stave off Trump, and now they are going to have to do so again.
BTW The title of this is a paraphrasing of the last line from the great Peter Sellers' movie Dr. Strangelove and is spoken by George C. Scott's character General Turgis.

Big Court Win in Minnesota
Timothy Birdnow
ICE wins a major victory in court with an appeals court overruling the partisan hack judge in Minnesota who issued draconian rules of engagement when dealing with unruly illegals.
Just as I predicted.
FTA:
An appeals court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision in Minnesota that placed severe restrictions on federal immigration agents when it comes to handling violent and disruptive agitators.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued an administrative stay, pausing a lower court’s preliminary injunction that had limited the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against protesters and "observers.”
Wednesday’s decision comes amid Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in early December 2025, which has deployed over 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 10,000 individuals, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.
The case originated from a lawsuit filed on December 17, 2025, by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Minnesota on behalf of six plaintiffs who alleged violations of their First and Fourth Amendment rights while observing or protesting ICE activities. The plaintiffs claimed they were subjected to arrests, pepper spray, intimidation with firearms, and unjustified traffic stops without probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
As I said this was intended to be a trap all along, the insurrectionists hoped for an incident in violation of the judge's order and thus a contempt citation could be issued, giving legitimacy to the insurrection. I'm not surprised ICE won on appeal, but I am surprised at the speed at which it came.

And the only reason that Lemon-head isn't also in the slammer is that the (unfortunately Democrat) magistrate who would have had to sign off on his arrest warrant is (ahem) married to the Assistant AG to Keith Ellison. These donkeys do stick together!

James Birdnow RIP
Timothy Birdnow
My father just passed away. He died peacefully in his sleep during the night at Bluebird, a local care facility. He was a month away from his 95th birthday.
He was ready go; in fact he was excited about seeing my mother again along with his friends and family. And he did die peacefully - he looked like he was just asleep, and seemed quite peaceful. He welcomed going home.
The hospice nurse called me this morning in the wee hours and I was up and out the door by five. I was very surprised; I had just seen him yesterday and was thinking he was doing much better. The hospice folks said that is often the way of it, people improve before they die frequently. At any rate I had a strong sense my wife was with me this morning and telling me "don't worry, I've got him" and sensed she was with him, leading him to Jesus. I believe that; that is just the kind of thig she would do.
So I'm doing o.k. today. Not sure how it will be tomorrow when the shock wears off. I really don't think a person should lose two loved ones in a month this way but I suppose God has His reasons. Dad knew his time was past and he was ready to go, so who am I to dispute that?
For local friends of the family the funeral will be some time next week. It is being handled by Kriegshauser Brothers so check their website for details. Also, we'll post a death notice in the Post-Dispatch.
I would prefer it if nobody sends flowers; they will just wind up going to waste, which would be a shame, and Dad wasn't much of a flower guy. A mass card would be better, or a donation in his name to a charity. Might I suggest the American Heart Association or the American Lung Association. He had congestive heart failure as well as COPD, so both would be appreciated.
My first memory was of my father, not my mother. I remember being in the cradle and crying because I wanted - something. He came to the crip and asked me which pacifier I wanted - the red one or the yellow one. I remember choosing the red. That was the first thing I remember in this world.
Dad was a great guy as everyone will attest. He grew up during the Depression and his father was a railroad man. The railroad didn't want to lay too many people off so they had a job sharing arrangement, with grandpa working a couple of months then being laid off a couple of months. When he was laid off they shipped my dad (by boxcar) to the tiny little town of Bismarck, Mo. where his grandmother owned a farm. It was, uh, rustic; no electricity, no running water, no heat except wood stoves, etc. They used an outhouse to go to the bathroom, and they got water out of the creek behind the house for drinking. Eventually great grandma sprang for a well but it tasted of kerosene (she probably had oil on the property like Jed Clampett but didn't know it.) So they continued to drink water from the creek. They had to be careful; cottonmouths and copperheads liked to hang out down there too. When they got too bad great grandma would rent a couple of pigs and they'd clean 'em out.
(Speaking of great grandma, she was about 4 foot ten and eighty nine pounds of pure spitfire. Her husband was also a railroad guy and he would be gone three days a week, and on the fourth day would stay in town so he could go to the local saloon. Grandma was a Methodist and thought drink was bad. Anyway, she employed a black family to work for her and one night the Ku Klux Klan showed up, demanding she turn them over. Granny did what any self-reliant person would do; she went inside, got her shotgun, and calmly told them if they didn't leave now she'd blow their heads offf. They left.)
At any rate Dad was drafted into the Army where he was put in the 101st Airborn but his fear of heights made it impossible. He eventually settled into the 28th Infantry "the Bloody Bucket" where he won an award for best marksman in his company. He turned down an opportunity to go to OCS (because it meant an extra year in the service) and he was sent to Germany, where he went on maneuvers and drank a lot of German beer. And flirted with a lot of fraulines.
Upon returning from the Army Dad met my mother and they married in 1960. Eric came along in '61, Brian 11 months later, and I showed up a few years after - in 1964.
He was a good, loving father and devoted husband and everyone liked him; he was easy-going and charming. He loved sports and was quite athletic in his day.
He was raised Methodist but converted to Catholicism in time to be my Confirmation sponsor. He was far more devout as a Catholic than he had been as a Methodist.
At my wife's funeral he was the happiest I had seen him in some time. He wasn't happy about Cathy dying but he liked seeing his three sons together and all the family and friends. It was kind of his farewell party in addition to my wife's.
At any rate I'll miss him very much.

Yes, you will, Tim, but you'll at least know that he didn't suffer. I'll have some things to offer in our "chat room." I hope you and your brother will be able to stay stable through this. I'll see about calling you in a few days.

Strategic Ice Box
Timothy Birdnow
This was posted by Wretchard T. Cat on Facebook. It is an angle I hadn't really considered:
Why did Greenland suddenly become an issue? The aggressive efforts of the US to purchase Greenland – and potentially encircle Russia – would not have been politically possible, or perhaps even necessary, without a proximate cause – the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian threat in Ukraine has put a gun to the Euro’s heads and given Washington the leverage it otherwise lacked in European capitals because they need to keep the US onside.
It is fascinating to compare the Greenland situation to the Alaska purchase. In 1867 it was Russia which was afraid. Russia feared that Great Britain (with its strong presence in Canada and British Columbia) might seize Alaska in a future conflict, especially after Russia's vulnerabilities were exposed in the Crimean War (1853–1856).
By selling to the U.S., Russia aimed to place a friendly (or at least non-British) power between its Siberian territories and British North America. Europe's reaction to the U.S. purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 was generally one of concern and alarm, particularly among the major powers, though it varied by country and was often overshadowed by pressing European issues like post-Crimean War tensions, German unification efforts, and the Eastern Question.
The deal highlighted the growing strength of both the United States (fresh from its Civil War) and Russia, while raising fears of shifting power dynamics in the Pacific and potential U.S.-Russian alignment against European interests. Substitute Trump’s America for Andrew Johnson’s and China for Czarist Russia and you can see the resemblance. The world is changing and Greenland, a one-time backwater, is suddenly on the crossroads.
Granted Trump wanted Greenland BEFORE Putin invaded the Ukraine, but he understood it's importance even during his first term.
This is an excellent point; Trump has really ramped up his call for Greenland because of changing geopolitical alignments. He needs to keep the Russians and Chicoms out of our hemisphere.
It is, of course, the same reason Napoleon sold Louisiana; he needed money and wanted to keep Britain from simply taking it. Louisiana made the U.S. a great power, as Napoleon observed when handing it over.
Greenland, sitting athwart the largest entry to the Arctic Ocean, is the key to the whole region in terms of military and economic access. The only other entry points are around Iceland or through the Bering Strait, which we control. With Greenland in our hands the best the Russians could do would be to sail out of Archangel and try to round the Norweigan coast. We could close the Baltic to them easily, even if Denmark doesn't want to cooperate.
It's increasingly obvious we need Greenland. There are minerals there to be developed, there is it's geopolitical importance, and we are defending it anyway so we should be able to develop it to make that chore easier.

No doubt about it. I really wish, though, that Mr. Trump had gone about this differently.
I've pointed out before that as a technique of his "Art of the Deal," Trump often begins his negotiations by throwing a grenade on the floor, and after the smoke from the explosion settles, he starts the actual negotiations. I'm not quite sure if he's throwing only one grenade this time...

It's called the
"GIUK Gap," Greenland, Iceland and the UK, and we already control it with SOSUS, nuclear submarines, and bases on Greenland, Iceland, Scotland and England. During the Cold War Russia could not access the North Atlantic from their north coast because we had that transit completely blockaded. That's why they need Crimea, for access to the Atlantic without a route that is already controlled by NATO. We do not need to "own" Greenland to take control of a sea lane that we already fully control.

I agree Dana; Trump went about this the wrong way. But then American Presidents have been trying for some time to do this without any luck.
You are absolutely correct Bill, but given the way thinngs are going in the U.K. and Iceland and with the Chinese nosing around there it becomes imperative to have greater control of Greenland.
Last June the Danish Parliament amended long-standing rules that limited American access to Greenland to the old Thule base (which is now a Spaceforc base with a name I can't remember at the moment - Pufikin or something). They did this out of fear Trump would keep pushing for the island. But being able to "enter" it and being able to build covert bases and place strategic forces there isa whole different matter.
This article shows that Trump wanted military bases there all along and that is the driving force behind what he is doing As Dana says, Trump tosses hand grenades in then negotiates from a position of strength. That's clearly what he's doing here. From the Hindustan Times:
"However, the New York Times cited three sources to reveal key terms of the deal. The publication reported that a potential compromise under which Denmark would grant the US sovereignty over limited areas of Greenland to establish military bases has been approved. An official told NYT that Rutte had pushed the idea."
end
These are the most recent negotiations with Denmark and Trump is being offered a lot more than what he had before - and he already got half a loaf last year.
This is vintage Trump.
This also puts not just Denmark but all our erstwhile "allies" in NATO on notice, making it clear we aren't going to let them continue to screw us over, especially where China and Russia are concerned. Trump is telling them that if they cut a deal with either they may wind up getting Daned.
Your point about Ukraine is spot on Bill! The Russians need warm water ports and with Americans at that Gukky Gap it is hard to use the North Atlantic for nefarious purposes - and using the Bosporus and Dardenelles still leaves them in the Mediterranean, so they either have to go through Suez or Gibralter.

The Laws of God and Man in Minnesota
Timothy Birdnow
Hey Lemonhead and the Racial Justice Network creeps who invaded a Minneapolis church:
18 U.S. Code § 248
(2) "Whoever… by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship … shall be subject to the penalties provided in subsection (b) and the civil remedies provided in subsection (c).”
(b)Penalties.—Whoever violates this section shall—
(1)in the case of a first offense, be fined in accordance with this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and
(2)in the case of a second or subsequent offense after a prior conviction under this section, be fined in accordance with this title, or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both;
This law was designed to go after anti-abortion protesters and the Biden Administration used it with abandon to go after people who were truly fighting for the most basic of human rights - the rights of babies to live. But the law is the law and even if this isn't what was intended the wording here makes it perfectly clear you can't do what this gang did.
The woman who ran this little beerhall putsch published the names of many of the leaders and others involved on Facebook, and I was scrolling through the comments section. The commenters - mostly white women - were all supportive and they tried to pass this off as the moral high ground, saying Jesus was an illegal allien from AFrica and other stupidities. But what got me was the way they twist the Bivle to buttress their positions. For example, they argued that Christianity called for loving your neighbor as yourself. But they ignore the very fact God Himself invented nations, purposely splitting us up at Babel, and there were always laws about controlling immigration. Jesus said "the shepherd comes in through the gate, anyone who comes in another way is a thief and robber" in John 10:1. We aren't rounding up people who came in through the gate.
Nor are we rounding up people who merely broke our immigration laws, but we are getting criminals; rapists, murderers, drug pusheers, and the worst of the worst. IF you love your neighbor you would advocate getting these people out. The illegal immigrant community is equally oppressed by these scumbags. Love demands we clean up this mess.
The Apostle Paul stated plainly that the "king" is "given the power of the sword" to "punish evildoers" (Romans 13:14) and that is what ICE is attempting to do. Nowhere does it say that authorities have no right to enforce the law because someone might get hurt or killed resisting them. That's why Paul said sword and not daffodils or something. Swords are there to kill people.
Also, the Bible is quite clear about Christians obeying the laws of the land.
Romans 13:1-7 states,
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”
end
These people who invaded the church in their anger against deportations are certainly violating that last, and the other things mentioned here as well.
Don Lemon spoke of the First Amendment. What does it say?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.".
Do note freedom of religion is mentioned first and with more vigor than the prohibition about abridging freedom of speech or the press. Lemon apparently never read the actual text of the Amendment.
The courts have ruled repeatedly that the First Amendment applies beyond Congress, that it is a foundational principle. You can't use Brownshirts to do your bidding, which is basically what Timmy Walz and company are doing with these leftist shock troops. This is clearly a First Amendment violation
But, but, but...They are answering a higher authority they try to claim. Love trumps all they say.
In what way is it loving to lure millions of unvetted people into the country? Was it loving when huge numbers of unaccompanied children came and were simply lost as they were under the Biden Administraion? You know those children ended up as slaves, frequently sex slaves. How is that loving? How is it loving to bring a bunch of criminals, or the insane, in to prey on the people who left their homeland to get away from these sorts in the first place? How is it loving to drive housing prices up for America's poor by so increasing the number of people seeking housing? How is it loving to swamp emergency rooms and make it hard to obtain medical care? How is it loving to bring in all the old diseases we had eliminated in the past? Other countries could take many of these folks if they were truly refugees; Mexico, for one, which they were passing through to get here anyway.
The fact is this was and is political and their hypocritical attempt to link their terrorism with "love" is a crock. This is about political power and remaking America into a failed socialist utopia, nothing more. If these people TRULY loved their illegal alien neighbors they would raise funds to help them return home in safety and with a nest egg to live off. They aren't doing that. They are rather stalking and harassing and abusing people who ae trying to enforce the laws of the nation, laws that were duly passed by their own reprrtesentatives. If they don't like those laws they are free to replace said reps and change the laws but you notice they won't do that. Why? Because they are a small minority, a rent-a-mob being funded by leftist plutocrats. There "loving care" is entirely astroturf.
Like Satan they pretend to care about others, but that is a ruse to trick the public into a trap bent on their destruction.
This is an insurrection and the sooner we start treating it as such the better.
Oh, and anyone who believes the officer who shot Renee Good should have made a non-lethal shot is completely ignorant of firearms usage; it's firearms 101 - you shoot for the biggest part of the target so as not to miss. That was a life and death situation. The officer had to make a snap decision and was being pushed by the car (he has internal injuries ACCORDING TO CBS, no Trump loving institution.
Renee Good did this to herself. And those who are saying she was murdered are also talking about "hands up! Don't shoot!" which has been proven to be a lie.
But why let a niggling thing like the Truth get in the way of a useful mantra, eh?

AND Lemonhead was really off base when he said something about how the people in that church didn't practice the same kind of Christianity that HE did! Boy oh boy, THAT's for sure, and not at all hard to see! Why did he even have to point it out?

Thanks for sharing this post about Birdnow's Aviary. I found the discussion on religious freedom laws in Minnesota interesting, especially the legal protections mentioned for places of worship.

Dana Lemonhead practices political activism and calls it Christianity. Jesus never did that - which is part of why Judas betrayed Him in the first place. Judas wanted a revolution and Jesus wanted a revolution of the spirit.
Thank you

When Life Gives Don Lemons
Timthy Birdnow
If some lefties get a criminal defense fund going for Don Lemon, who recently joined with thugs who invaded a Minneapolis church, will they call it "Lemon-aid"?
Just asking.

So do I. The First Amendment does not allow journalists to violate the law.

Ancient Chinese Secret
Timothy Birdnow
No. I'm not talking about Calgon.
According to Peter Schweizer a
million Chinese may well vote in the next election and determine the course of America's future.
This is what birthright citizenship and unrestrained immigration gives us.

Unlike many arcade-style games,
Slope 2 relies purely on player skill. There are no upgrades, power-ups, or shortcuts. Every success and failure comes from your own reactions and decision-making.

Oh yes. I wanted to see who else did. Given our readers are mostly mature (as am I) I figured pretty much all of us would.

Oops, Hilton Did it Again
Timothy Birdnow
Hilton made a big show of kicking out their franchisee who canceled a reservation for ICE agents, but oops they
did it again.
Time to cancel the Hilton, I guess. They can join the Hyatt and the Pritzker family in a boycott.

CNN's Fake News Poll
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a big nothingburger.
Did anyone really doubt Democrats are motivated to vote Democrat in the midterms? Is that really news?
Here's what I find interesting:
A full 72% of those surveyed said they disapprove of the way Democratic leaders in Congress are handling their jobs, while 28% approve.
Meanwhile, 80% of Democrats said they are "extremely motivated” or "very motivated” to vote in the upcoming elections, compared with 74% of Republicans who say the same.
The poll, conducted Jan. 9-12 among 1,209 adults, revealed shifts in political thinking:
— 64% said they disapprove of the way Republican leaders are handling their jobs compared with 35% who approve.
— 46% said they would vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate if elections were being held today while 41% said the Republican Party’s candidate.
— 52% think Republicans in Congress are doing too much to support President Donald Trump while 36% think Democrats are doing too much to oppose the president.
— 39% said the country will be better off if Democrats win control of Congress while 37% say worse off.
— 50% said Trump has had a bad effect on the Republican Party while 32% say he has had a good effect.
The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points and 3.5 points among registered voters.
Remember, this is a CNN poll and it's intended to dispirit Republicans, to get them to stay home, and to encourage Democrats, the party whose lunch Mr. Trump has been feasting upon for some time.
And I would add this poll is about the midterms, not about Donald Trump. Midterms are generally decided on local issues and the voting is local in nature, which is why a President often loses the midterms but wins re-election during the general.
Given the high dissatisfaction rate with Democrats by their own party (notice this poll doesn't tell us the satisfaction/dissatisfaction rate among Republicans with Congress and the President) one has to take this with a huge grain of salt.
We should be concerned and need to get the vote out, no question. If the Democrats take power they will impeach Trump again and again, and Trump's agenda is finis. This is a must win for the GOP. But don't let yourself be panicked by this; Trump has always come from behind, and these poll numbers are not unusual for this time in a Presidency.
