Part VI: Touching Stephen Ogilvie's Face. Touching the Face of Islam On February 27th, 2025 I touched the face of Islam. The mask came off. The truth regarding Islam was laid bare. I had committed a horrific crime, of course. The type of crime that should be splashed as bold headlines across the globe. The crime began with the invitation to a Muslim, a sophomore in college, a good girl - to join me in volunteer work once a month. The activity would allow her to be more marketable after graduation from college. She needed to show a history of volunteer work to boost her employment opportunities. The crime? Making pillows for children with cancer. The pillows were delivered each month to 2 of our area hospitals with oncology services for children. I have contributed (perhaps) 200 of these pillows. The crime? Daring to cross the threshold of a church. Not to do volunteer work inside the sanctuary, but...

Iran Prepares for Further Hostilities Because of the shelling of the southern suburb of Beirut, Iran states they are preparing a response. Sources state this will be a wide-ranging response which will include multiple targets. The advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution states " A miscalculation in Beirut has ended the phase of patience." And preparations are underway for a response. Iran has closed its airspace and Tasnim News reports that all flights are canceled in western Iran. If true, it is possible that missile launches are being activated. Tehran has made it very, very clear that for any negotiation to proceed, Lebanon must be treated as a proxy of Iranian power. About an hour ago, I stated to my husband "A Memorandum of Understanding" is less than a "Memorandum of Agreement" - and it is certainly not worth much. It is important not to confuse "understanding" with "agreement". The MOU (Memorandum of Undestanding)...
Iran: No Need to Pull out the Party Hats As Iran continues to attack strategic interests of the U.S. and Middle East, I remain doubtful anything will be signed today - unless it is in disappearing ink. Here is a "vignette analysis" coming from the Iranian side of the house. "Why is Trump suddenly so eager to make a deal with Iran? The clue lies in the oil reserves at America’s heartland. Despite boasting about “energy independence” and repeated declarations that war with Iran is worth the economic pain, the US energy economy is approaching its most dangerous point, and Trump knows it. The clue lies in Cushing: Cushing, Oklahoma, is a vital energy hub in the US, with a storage capacity of more than 75 million barrels of crude oil, more than 15% of all US reserves, not including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 105 days after the start of the war with Iran, the Cushing network is severely depleted, with only 21.6 million barrels in stock — effectively just the equi...
Part V: Touching Stephen Ogilvie's Face. Touching the Face of Islam. Let's discuss the rituals which might make it difficult for Muslims to adapt to the West; and how these rituals might result in "Islamophobia" which has been self-generated from their belief system. And let me remind each of you once again of my signature statement: Your conviction requires your sacrifice and not mine. And in the public square, centers of commerce, and public schools and private universities, non-Muslims cannot be subjugated to the rituals of the Islamic gestalt. Because Islam is state. And it uses religion for coercive control of the population. The Call to Prayer: Across the Muslim-majority regions the call to prayer rings out five times a day. Hurry to prayer, admonishes the muezzin. This was necessary, before German Henlein invented the first spring-driven clock in 1510. This was followed by the pendulum clock in 1656. There were no clocks. We have th...
Michael Alfonso: Just Another Shiftless Adult with Congressional Aspirations Jack Schlossberg is bad enough. And now Wisconsin Republicans must deal with Michael Alfonso - somewhat of a "Nepo Baby" by marriage who is being coached and assisted by his father-in-law to grasp the levers of power. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/michael-alfonso-job-work-history-bio/ So a man who lives in a home owned by his father-in-law and has a wife and a new baby, lacks the decency to work a full-time job and support his own family. He is unwilling to take his (fairly unmarketable) undergraduate degree and settle for teaching math in a public high school. But he wants to stick both hands into the pot for the millions of dollars in federal aid on which ordinary Wisconsin citizens are dependent. And he wants to represent the real men of Wisconsin who work full time, shoulder their own mortgages and debt loads, and come home tired at night. He wants access. He wa...
Part IV: Touching Stephen Ogilvie's Face. Touching the Face of Islam Christian women can take a bit of teasing (that), "Eve ate the apple." It is generally light-hearted, but it is a stale product. My father - being a practical man - once said to me, "Eve may have been deceived but Adam knew exactly what he was doing." Case closed. Aisha - might have done more than biting into the apple. And collapsed into the story of Aisha's necklace is the reason why Muslim women are still punished today. Veiling and covering is not about adoration. It is punishment. And that punishment is enforced by the males. What is the story? Qutb works for me. The link below is sufficient. If you do not know who he is, his history and body of work, this is probably not the blog site for you. "Milestones" has a powerful style of delivery. https://www.arabnews.com/node/235738 Synopsis: Aisha spent the night alone in the desert with a man other than her husban...
Journalism Question: "Who Benefits" President Trump has stated many times that "We're" going to make "a lot of money"! https://www.facebook.com/NEWSMAX/videos/president-trump-were-going-to-be-making-a-lot-of-money-reducing-taxes/1398855408234675/ Oopsie! He wasn't referring to all Americans, but only a select few. And with Iran insisting they will control the maritime commerce moving through the Strait of Hormuz, a "peace deal" is just another phrase for cluster f-ck. Yes. I understand trickle down economics and the velocity of a dollar. Unfortunately, my velocity is being taken out each week at the grocery store as Trump's drone fires into my fuselage. Mayday! Mayday! Swofford down! Swofford down! Just flip the 2.4%. interest coin. 4.2 percent is the new inflation rate since starting an unwinnable cage fight with Iran. (Copied from wfaa.com.
