When People You have never Heard of Protest


Yeah, Yeah.  I know. The grammar is a nightmare.  But humor me - because my sense of humor took hold.

"Free Palestine!"  Can someone just free up his brain cells?

There is no digital footprint which establishes whether Macklemore visited Israel in the weeks after the October 7 attack on innocent festival attendees.  No record of his trip to a morgue, a cemetery, or to speak with the families of those whose members were kidnapped and last seen wailing on the back of a motorcycle.

Here  is a small snippet of information regarding his activism.

But if we are to compartmentalize news based on images, maybe I should have saved some of the images coming off the GoPro cameras of the terrorists as they slaughtered the Jews?

Regarding Hollywood artists, aren't they just a couple of short steps above an "Influencer" in the massive food chain known as planet earth? Maybe they forgot to read the memo?  The adulation offered in the Obama years has no currency within the White House administration of today.


God sees everything.  He will ultimately adjudicate the claims of each man.  And the evil done will be addressed in full:  Christian, Jew, Muslim...  whichever your stripe. 

But the Muslim population in the Middle East?  There remains the issue of generational hatred.  The seepage is beginning to have an odor.

Copied from an X site last year:

"Teach your children that justice does not lapse with the passage of time, and that the Jews are cursed in the Qur'an, and that God has described them as breaking covenants and plotting schemes.  Teach them that they killed a great number of the prophets and that their descendants are nothing but an extension of their forefathers, but they have gone even further by occupying the third holiest site.  Do not let the passage of time twist your resolve - either victory or martyrdom."

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
