Morning, Pat! Nice to see the “report” gone, as CV mentioned @ M’s. Sunny morning, temp at 51 now – hope it doesn’t get windy again so I can put my flag out.
Wheezer was sleeping on the chair. When I went out with his food dish he rolled over and stretched, with a little silent “mew,” acting as if he wanted me to pet him. Of course, when I try, that paw comes out w/claws extended but IDT he actually wants to scratch me. It’s just what feral cats do between themselves. I did pet his back a couple of times, then he rolled over and exposed his belly. That is a sign he trusts me but I don’t trust those claws. LOL – I put his food down but he’s gone back to sleep now.
Palestinian terrorists invaded the Lebanese Christian town of Damour and massacred 582 Christian civilians. It was an apocalypse, said a priest who survived the massacre.
“They were coming in thousands, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.’
They were slaughtering everyone, men, women and children.”
Men were lined up against the walls of their homes and gunned down. Women were tortured and gang-raped. Babies were shot in the back of the head. Pregnant women had their babies cut out of the womb.
Just one of the many massacres committed against Christians by Palestinians.
This is how Muslims became the majority in Lebanon.
@RepFine Feb 19 Islam teaches that dogs are dirty animals. In Morocco, they are right now shooting 3 million dogs to prepare for the World Cup. I’ve got a newsflash for people who think this is fine. In America, we will not allow Mainstream Muslims to tell people they can’t have dogs. This should not be CONTROVERSIAL.
Just The News: “The Pentagon released its second batch Friday of recently declassified UFO and unidentified anomalous phenomena files, which includes more than 40 videos requested by lawmakers.
President Donald Trump ordered War Secretary Pete Hegseth last month to begin releasing the government’s files on UFOs and UAPs. Trump initially promised in February to order the release of the files after he criticized former President Barack Obama for divulging “classified information” when he said he believes aliens are real.
The first batch was released earlier this month and included never-before-seen documents related to incidents that have already been reported, including military videos and documents related to NASA’s Apollo 12, Apollo 17 and Gemini 7 missions, during which astronauts reported weird sightings.
The new files include a report about an unidentified object incident from the Department of Energy and a CIA information report about a sighting in the Soviet Union in 1973. Another file contained over 100 pages of documentation from the Armed Forces Special Weapons Program and the U.S. Air Force relating to a string of sightings and investigations in Sandia, New Mexico, from the late 1940s to 1950.
Other files include video footage of a UAP that was shot down over Lake Huron, which was requested by lawmakers, following the Chinese spy balloon scandal, and a video featuring a new shape of UAP not previously seen in video footage.
The documents and files can be viewed on WAR.GOV/UFO, and additional files will be released on a rolling basis.”
Just The News: “President Donald Trump said Friday that he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to a hero who saved many Americans during the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001, who is remembered as the “man in the red bandana.”
The president made the announcement during a campaign stop for New York GOP Rep. Mike Lawler, who pushed Trump to recognize the New Yorker’s heroism ahead of the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11, according to Fox News.
Welles Remy Crowther, a 24-year-old volunteer firefighter, has become a symbol of American heroism after survivors described being guided through the wreckage by a man who covered his face with a red bandana.
“At the request of Bruce, and Mike, and some of the political — great political people we have, and we are approaching the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001, a dark day that will live in infamy. We are posthumously awarding Welles the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump told the crowd at Rockland Community College.
“It’s the highest award outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor — those are the two biggies and Welles has one of them,” Trump continued. “I just want to congratulate his great mother in doing a phenomenal job in raising that young man. Boy, what bravery, saved those people and became a legend in a sense, nobody else would have done what he did. So he’s going to be getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
Crowther was an equities trader who died in the South Tower while carrying out rescue missions. He initially survived the attacks but his body was later found in the rubble after he made at least three rescue trips.
The total number of people he rescued was not clear, but some reports have indicated that he saved as many as 18 people. His red bandana is featured at the 9/11 museum in New York City.”
EXCERPT: “Republican Senators called it quits Thursday over a proposal to deliver restitution to the political victims of government weaponization, instead giving themselves paid vacation after balking at the idea that Americans deserve compensation for being targeted and mistreated by the federal government.
As many as 25 Republican senators reportedly balked at the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund designed to “to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare” during a briefing by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The fund would make restitution to people like pro-life Americans targeted for praying outside abortion facilities, individuals who were unfairly or excessively prosecuted for involvement in the Jan. 6 protest, and others targeted by the Biden administration. However, the fund is open to anyone who believes he was unfairly targeted by the government, and disbursement of monies will be decided on a case-by-case basis, according to Vice President J.D. Vance, who was asked about the fund earlier this week.
“The machinery of government should never be weaponized against any American, and it is this Department’s intention to make right the wrongs that were previously done while ensuring this never happens again,” Blanche said of the fund in a press release.
Despite the fact that Senate Republicans approved a victim slush fund for themselves (to the tune of $500,000 each) after they learned the Biden administration spied on them, some senators seem to think regular Americans — who have far fewer resources and legal protections than members of Congress — should be left out to dry.
“I think it’s stupid on stilts. … When you take money from me to give to a purpose that I vehemently disagree with, that’s tyranny,” said outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who has become a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.
Mitch McConnell reportedly said, “So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong — Take your pick.”
As The Federalist CEO Sean Davis pointed out, both Tillis and McConnell voted for the senators-only victim slush fund, which “wasn’t available to any normal Americans whose rights had been violated. … But now Tillis is mad that actual American citizens might receive restitution. What a clown.”…….”
Just The News: “President Trump posted an AI video showing him throwing late night TV host Stephen Colbert in a dumpster. Colbert, a frequent critic of Trump, hosted his final “CBS Late Show” this week. After he dumps Colbert in the dumpster, Trump is seen in the AI video doing his famous “YMCA” dance.”
Ahhhh…..this must be why I’ve seen nothing on Fox – it’s not Iran itself but a threat by an individual IRGC guard. It was blown out of proportion by Twitter users.
First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.
Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.
The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.
“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.
“We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida,” Qanbar added. A second source also confirmed Al-Saadi’s plot to kill Ivanka.
Here’s the map Al-Saadi posted on his X account:

EXCERPT: “NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, according to a statement provided by the Busch family Saturday. Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release that the family received the medical evaluation Saturday.
“The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications,” the Busch family statement read. “The Family asks for continued understanding and privacy during this difficult time.”
Busch, a two-time NASCAR champion, died at 41 on Thursday, a day after passing out in a Chevrolet simulator. His family said earlier that he had been hospitalized with a “severe illness” days before he was to compete in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Busch was testing in the racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told the AP.
Busch experienced shortness of breath, felt he was overheating and was coughing up blood the day before his death, according to a 911 call obtained Friday by ABC…..”
