On Friday, I had played a video
of a man in Canada who refused to wear a mask and was assaulted and
tackled by 4 employees of the tire store he was patronizing (Matthew
24:12).
Disturbing video out of Canada shows a group of masked tire shop
employees chasing, assaulting, and tackling a customer without a mask,
in the latest example of COVID mask hysteria.
If you wanted to tear apart a country, really have the people hate each
other, the playbook Democrats are following would be the way to do it.
Take something irrelevant, but over which people can do nothing, and
build it up into everything. Convince people others are out to get them,
thereby absolving them of any responsibility for problems in their
life, and they will eventually give up. Convince others they are
perpetrators of something horrible, which only works with those out of
real problems, and you have the makings of Nazi-esque powers of
manipulation. This is what Democrats are doing with race, and it can no
longer simply be laughed off. It must be actively confronted and
exposed.
Windover
is an Early Archaic (6000 to 5000 BC) site in Florida where
archaeologists in 1984 discovered the skeletal remains of 168 Caucasian
people buried in peat at the bottom of a pond. Researchers were able to
recover remarkably well-preserved brain tissue from many of the skulls
and sequence the DNA. The results revealed the haplogroup X2a, which is
of European origin.
Note on historical falsification: The Wikipedia page
on this topic is falsified. A PBS “Nova” special on the Windover Pond
states that the DNA in the skulls is European. Videos on the Windover
site, produced by the Central Florida Museum and South Carolina Public
Television, both state that the DNA is European. And the video produced
by the supervising archaeologists at Windover Pond states that the DNA
is European.

Zulu is a 1964 epic war film depicting the Battle of Rorke's Drift
between the British Army and the Zulus in January 1879, during the
Anglo-Zulu War. It depicts 150 British soldiers, many of whom were sick
and wounded patients in a field hospital, who successfully held off a
force of 4,000 Zulu warriors.
The ending of the film is somewhat fictitious. There was no Zulu attack
at dawn on 23 January 1879, which in the film led to the singing of "Men
of Harlech", but it sure made for dramatic Hollywood an ending to be
viewed again and again.
Men of Harlech is widely used as a regimental march, especially by
British Army and Commonwealth regiments historically associated with
Wales. Notably, it is the slow march of the Welsh Guards, and the quick
march of the Royal Welsh.
It was first used for cinema during the titles of How Green Was My
Valley (1941) and has featured in a number of other films. It is best
known for its prominent role in the 1964 film Zulu, although the version
of lyrics sung in it were written specially for the film. It is sung
twice, only once completely, in the film (the British begin shooting the
charging Zulus before the start of the final couplet), in counterpoint
to the Zulu war chants and the sounds of their shields. Film editor John
Jympson cut the scene to the song so that on either side of cuts where
the British soldiers cannot be heard, the song is in the correct
relative position. The song is also heard in the film Zulu Dawn, which
is about the battle that precedes Rorke's Drift, the Battle of
Isandlwana.
There are many versions of "Men of Harlech", and there is no single
accepted English version. The version below was published in 1873.
John Oxenford version (published 1873)
Verse 1
Men of Harlech, march to glory,
Victory is hov'ring o'er ye,
Bright-eyed freedom stands before ye,
Hear ye not her call?
At your sloth she seems to wonder;
Rend the sluggish bonds asunder,
Let the war-cry's deaf'ning thunder
Every foe appall.
Echoes loudly waking,
Hill and valley shaking;
'Till the sound spreads wide around,
The Saxon's courage breaking;
Your foes on every side assailing,
Forward press with heart unfailing,
'Till invaders learn with quailing,
Cambria ne'er can yield!
Verse 2
Thou, who noble Cambria wrongest,
Know that freedom's cause is strongest,
Freedom's courage lasts the longest,
Ending but with death!
Freedom countless hosts can scatter,
Freedom stoutest mail can shatter,
Freedom thickest walls can batter,
Fate is in her breath.
See, they now are flying!
Dead are heap'd with dying!
Over might hath triumph'd right,
Our land to foes denying;
Upon their soil we never sought them,
Love of conquest hither brought them,
But this lesson we have taught them,
"Cambria ne'er can yield!"
An earlier version is thus:-
Broadside version c. 1830, republished by Thomas Oliphant in 1862
Verse 1
Hark! I hear the foe advancing,
Barbed steeds are proudly prancing,
Helmets in the sunbeams glancing
Glitter through the trees.
Men of Harlech, lie ye dreaming?
See ye not their falchions gleaming,
While their pennons gaily streaming
Flutter in the breeze?
From the rocks rebounding,
Let the war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call,
The haughty foe surrounding,
Men of Harlech, on to glory!
See, your banner famed in story
Waves these burning words before ye
"Britain scorns to yield!"
Verse 2
'Mid the fray, see dead and dying,
Friend and foe together lying;
All around, the arrows flying,
Scatter sudden death!
Frighten'd steeds are wildly neighing,
Brazen trumpets hoarsely braying,
Wounded men for mercy praying
With their parting breath!
See! they're in disorder!
Comrades, keep close order!
Ever they shall rue the day
They ventured o'er the border!
Now the Saxon flies before us!
Vict'ry's banner floateth o'er us!
Raise the loud exulting chorus
"Britain wins the field."

IJ President Scott Bullock said, "The principle at stake is simple: If
citizens must obey the law, then government officials must obey the
Constitution.
Government agencies have significant protections against lawsuits by
individuals for mistreatment, even if they intentionally violated the
law.
They are given a pass mostly under the legal concept of "qualified
immunity," which provides they are protected unless a court "clearly
established" in a previous case that the actions were unconstitutional.

Last week Texas experienced a cold snap that resulted in serious
statewide damage, death, and destruction. The collapse of the state’s
energy grid left millions of Texans in the dark and freezing for days at
a time. Tragically, at least 30 people died.
There are many
reasons why Texas became like a Third World country, and we should be
careful not to pin all the blame on just one factor. But it seems clear
that the disaster was to a large degree caused by political decisions to
shift toward “green” energy generated from solar and wind and by
Governor Abbott’s authoritarian Covid restrictions.
Abbott, who
won a “wind leadership” award just this month, oversaw the near-collapse
of wind energy generation last week. Yet the politicization of energy
generation in favor of “green” alternatives over natural gas and other
fossil fuels has led to the unintended consequences of freezing Texans
facing multiple millions of dollars in property damage and worse.
Andrew Jackson thought of himself as not an innovator or man of ideas,
but that he must revive and continue Jeffersonian principles in the
federal government. He was a man hostile to the clamoring abolitionist
radicals and in general to the various “isms” of the North, sure to
cause strife where none should be. His conception of patriotism included
a determination to uphold the national honor and interests, even at the
risk of war.
These days, it sure looks like they have them right where they want
them. Using the storming of the Capitol Building as a pretext, the
media-government alliance has targeted Trump, his supporters, and their
fellow travelers harder than ever before. Many on the right consider the
January 6 storming to have been a dream come true for the leftist
elite—giving them the ability to impeach Trump again, deplatform
right-wingers, and weaponize
the Justice Department against the establishment’s foes. Everything,
though, may not be as it first seems. There’s no reason to be despondent
or worry that the Left has sealed its ultimate victory—it has done no
such thing. Rather, the storming, for what it's worth, proved the power
of ragtag populists and exposed the elite’s shaky foundations. There’s a
reason they’re so terrified.

February
is Black History Month and a time to celebrate the many significant and
far reaching accomplishments of black Americans. Instead we’re
endlessly bombarded by a vitriolic media, Hollywood, and academia with
claims that America was founded on slavery. Christianity is rejected as
"the white man's religion that justified slavery."
A historical review shines the light of truth on these false charges.
Slavery
Despite
the assertion that America cornered the market on slavery, slavery has
been a worldwide institution since the beginning of civilization. Thomas Sowell, renowned black economist and philosopher, provides insights about slavery in his book (chapter titled “Twisted History”).
Fox
News reported Trump on Friday endorsed one of his former aides, Max
Miller, for Congress in the 2022 race. Miller will attempt to unseat GOP
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio in the state’s 16th district next fall.
The endorsement came weeks after Gonzalez was one
of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach the former president over his
role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Trump previously indicated that
he would play an active role on the campaign trail during the midterm
elections.
“Max Miller is a wonderful person who did a great job at the White
House and will be a fantastic Congressman,” Trump said in a statement
through his Save America PAC. “He is a Marine Veteran, a son of Ohio,
and a true PATRIOT.”
A golden statue of former President Donald Trump appeared at the
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida.
Bloomberg News reporter William Turton shared video footage of the

In just days, the Congress of the United States will vote on the Equality Act, which poses one of the most severe threats to our First Amendment freedoms of speech, association, and religion to ever be considered in Washington.
It is urgent that you make it absolutely clear to your members of Congress that not only is this not “equality,” but it’s downright dangerous. Our nation was founded upon the bedrock principal that all of us are created equal. However, the Equality Act is a cheap counterfeit of our fundamental rights, and every lawmaker needs to know that you adamantly oppose this bill which will wreak havoc on our society and result in a complete cultural revolution.
Thomas Sowell and the late Walter Williams – two accomplished and
well-regarded black conservative economists – have written for decades
about how liberal social policies beginning with Great Society programs
in the 1960s and continuing today have failed miserably. Can there be
any doubt of failure for policies that have contributed to the black
out-of-wedlock birthrate going from 11 percent in 1938 to more than 75
percent today? That 82 percent of black households were two-parent in
1950 and today more than 70 percent of black households are headed by a
single mother? But to question these policies is racist?

an acclaimed and popular PBS documentary on Justice Clarence Thomas,
making it unavailable to stream during Black History Month. Thomas is

would want to stream this inspiring documentary on its platform.
As former President Donald Trump prepares for his Sunday address at
the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, he is
also laying the groundwork for his new political activities, according
to a published report.
Trump told his advisers Thursday that he has chosen Corey
Lewandowski, who served as his campaign manager in 2015 and early 2016,
to lead a super PAC he is forming, according to Politico, which cited as
its source “multiple people familiar with the discussion.”
“We gained seats in the House. We elected 50 Republican senators when
everybody was predicting we were going to lose the Senate. The
Democrats didn’t flip a single state legislature. We flipped two
[and] picked up a governor.“ The Republican Party had a very good day on November 3,” McConnell
continued. “We’re sorry we lost the White House, but the Republican
Party demonstrated once again [that] this is a 50/50 nation, we are
very competitive and will be competitive again in ’22.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said
Thursday he would “absolutely” support Donald Trump if the former
president won the Republican nomination in 2024.
However, McConnell told “Special Report” host Bret
Baier that “there’s a lot to happen between now and ’24. I’ve got at
least four members, I think, that are planning on running for president,
plus governors and others. There is no incumbent, [so it] should be a
wide-open race and fun for you all to cover.”

It is a legitimate question to raise because there are still some
patriots serving within the ranks of the FBI who are beyond distraught
over the gross politicization of their once proud, respected
organization. Some of the men and women with 20 years in are simply
counting days and hours until they can punch out. There is genuine, deep
seated hatred for Christopher Wray and his coterie of lackeys eager to
suckle on the teat of the Deep State.
The final straw for many in the bureau is the dishonest response to
the January 6 swarm at the U.S. Capitol. For starters, the FBI had
intelligence about Antifa’s plans to infiltrate the crowds of Trump
supporters and incite violence. But the FBI also was manipulating some
of the very groups labeled as “white supremacists”, e.g. the Proud Boys.

The principal character in Joyce Maynard’s 1992 novel “To Die For”
said that if you look too closely at a black and white photograph, all
you see are a series of black dots on a white background and then added
that one must step back in order to see the big picture. That, of
course, is the problem today with any discourse in regard to slavery . .
. all one is supposed to see are the dots of Southern black slaves
toiling away in a field of cotton on their white master’s plantation.
If you step back, however, you will see a far broader picture of slavery
and black life in the South, both free and slave.
One person to see such a scene was the late Dr. Thaddeus Wilber Tate,
Jr., a history professor at the College of William and Mary in
Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1957, at the height of America’s civil
rights movement, Dr. Tate wrote a lengthy research report for the
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation entitled “The Negro in Eighteenth
Century Williamsburg.” His in-depth study probed virtually every aspect
of black life in Williamsburg and colonial Virginia that provided an
excellent view of black history in general during that period.
The
brutal sell-off in the stock and the bond market Thursday was ignited
by fears that the economy could overheat later this year and generate a
high level of inflation that would force the Fed to hike rates earlier
than expected. This is the scenario that economists like Larry Summer
and Olivier Blanchard were warning about a few weeks ago. It's become
more likely because the data shows that the economy is already stronger
than expected. Thursday's sell-off, for example, was preceded by jobless
claims numbers showing a sharp downturn in layoffs.
The message of the sell-off is pretty clear: we do not need $1.9
trillion of stimulus spending. The bill was written under assumptions
about the economy that have turned out to be too pessimistic. What
looked responsible back in January now looks irresponsible. The Atlanta
Fed's GDPNow says the data show us growing at a 9.6 percent rate. You
don't pour another $1.9 trillion onto that kind of growth.
However painful it is to watch broad market downturns, there is some
upside. The breadth of the sell-off and the huge spike in bond yields
makes the message about the stimulus bill hard to miss. The market is
providing a signal to Washington: tone down the stimulus.
That's not to say that the economy does not need any aid. Tens of
millions of Americans are still out of work, and many businesses are
operating with reduced capacity. Many businesses have folded, and new
business creation has been stymied. By Olivier Blanchard's estimate, the
output gap—the difference between how much our economy could produce
and how much it will produce this year without stimulus—is likely around
$900 billion. A bill around that size would not overheat the economy.
But can the Democratic leadership walk back their spending plans without
enraging the far left?

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler Texas warned
late Wednesday the Equality Act is destructive legislation that would do
untold damage to the country if passed.
“The Equality Act being considered in Congress is a threat to people of faith in this nation,” Bishop Strickland said
on Twitter. “I urge all who believe in God and the truth of His Divine
Revelation to speak up and let their members of Congress and Senators
know that this bill threatens the heart of our nation.”
The bishop’s appeal dovetails with a recent summons
by leaders of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference (USCCB) for Congress to
reject the proposed legislation, insisting it would demolish “precious
rights to life and conscience.”
Writing to members of the U.S. Congress, the bishops warned the
Equality Act would “discriminate against people of faith” and “inflict
numerous legal and social harms on Americans.”
The

themselves from her after the first-time candidate won election last
November but those same party leaders openly stood behind her when
Greene apologized for “words of the past” in a Feb. 5 floor speech.

The dream-like existence came to an abrupt halt during World War II,
when Japanese troops interned her entire family upon occupying the
region. After the war, a return to her previous life spent indulging in
imported luxuries and mingling with Cambodian royalty and foreign
socialites was all too brief, as the region again fell into chaos and
her family was forced to flee. Memories of her home and the elegant
lifestyle that accompanied it, however, never left her thoughts.
Eventually, she was able to return to Southeast Asia and recreate the

In May of 2008, I became embroiled in a situation that had developed
with the former Museum of the Confederacy. Having received an e-mail
sent to the membership from Director S. Waite Rawls asking for an
opinion about removing the word “Confederacy” from the Museum’s title, I
assumed that he was taking heat from the ongoing crusade against all
things Southern and advised him to hold his ground in the face of such
politically correct extortion! Alas, my answer was not what the
gentleman wished to hear—though he never responded to me. For Mr. Rawls
was of the opinion that any mention of the Confederacy or Confederate
was beyond the pale and the time had come to abandon such nomenclature.
Today that great shrine has become the American Civil War Museum after
being joined to the black run Tredegar Iron Works under the Parks
Department.
To be clear, the Biden regime refused all requests from Abbott that
would have helped Texans during the worst of the brutal storm. As a
result, many suffered, others died, and still others are receiving
exorbitant electric bills at rates of $1,500 per Megawatt hour (MWh).
Had China Joe simply signed off on Texas’ request to up its energy
generation maximum from 60 percent to full capacity in anticipation of
the recent polar vortex disaster, the Lone Star State never would have
suffered any blackouts. This is the claim of the @amuse account on Twitter, the owner of which also runs the news aggregation site “Deplatformed.”
While many of Texas’ “green” wind turbines failed upon freezing,
the state could have made up for this loss by really pumping out the
fossil fuels, which is prohibited under federal regulations, save for an
exemption.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott apparently requested such of the Biden regime,
only to be rejected despite the impending emergency. Consequently,
millions of Texans suffered through days of no power in record-low
temperatures, which injured and killed many.
A Texas judge issued a stunning blow to the Biden administration
Wednesday, “indefinitely” enjoining the White House from enforcing the
president’s executive order declaring a 100-day moratorium on
deportations.
As The Daily Wire reported Tuesday, the same federal judge, Judge
Drew Tipton, already issued a temporary ban on enforcing President Joe
Biden’s executive order, noting that the administration failed “to
provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on
deportations.”
Ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund dropped a bombshell on lawmakers
on Tuesday in his opening statement during a hearing before the Senate
Rules and Homeland Security committees.
Mr. Sund testified that according to intelligence gathered by law
enforcement groups, members of the Proud Boys, white supremacist groups,
ANTIFA and other extremist groups were expected to participate on
January 6 and that they may be inclined to become violent.
In a move that is outraging senior citizens throughout Virginia, the
state is shifting its COVID-19 vaccination distribution to prioritize
black and Latino residents even as desperate 85-year-olds interviewed by
Judicial Watch struggle to get the shot. Like several other states,
Virginia is vaccinating its population in phases, with healthcare
personnel and residents of long-term care facilities receiving utmost
priority. With that population completed, according to the Virginia Department of Health,
the second group includes a peculiar combination of frontline workers,
people 65 and over, those with medical conditions, incarcerated
criminals and those living in homeless shelters or “migrant labor camps.”
Asked for comment by The Washington Post on a profile that quoted
various critics slamming him for being stretched too thin, Elon Musk,
CEO of Tesla and Space X, fired back at the Post and ostensibly its
owner Jeff Bezos.
The Post’s article starts by noting Musk’s exhausting schedule of
commuting from his home in southern California, the Tesla plant in
northern California, a new factory in Austin, Texas and SpaceX’s launch
facility on Texas’ Gulf Coast. Then the Post quotes unnamed “critics”
who assert that Musk’s focus on Space X and other ventures has permitted
the quality of Tesla to “fall victim.”
