Why do Jews usually vote Democratic? It’s in their DNA | New Jersey Jewish News

Rabbi says ‘spiritual genetics’ leads to support for liberal causes

Election Day saw significant wins by Democrats in key races throughout the country and here in New Jersey, where Phil Murphy’s decisive victory marked an end to the eight-year Republican reign in the governor’s office. If history is any guide, Jews likely played a role in the progressive candidates’ soaring successes.

In an Election Day talk by Rabbi Ken Spiro, the senior lecturer at Aish HaTorah Jerusalem said that 73% of American Jews identify as liberal and support Democratic candidates, even if their level of affluence would appear to lead them to choose Republicans as better serving their own economic interests. (Sociologist Milton Himmelfarb famously said, “Jews earn like Episcopalians, and vote like Puerto Ricans.”)

So why do American Jews continue to support liberal causes and progressive candidates? 

Spiro said it’s in their blood.

As the polls were closing on Nov. 7, Spiro presented “In God We Trust: The Impact of Judaism on Modern Political Thought and Jewish Political Affiliation” at Congregation B’nai Tikvah in North Brunswick.

That drive to do good in the world — the mitzvah of tikkun olam, literally “repairing the world” — he said, stretches back many centuries, is rooted in Torah, and was an imperative of the Jews long before most of the world embraced the concept of social responsibility.

The commitment to improve the world has been passed down through generations and explains American Jews’ continuing to identify as liberal, he said, pointing out that, in contrast, only 28 percent of the general American population identify as liberals.

“It’s in the Jewish DNA,” he said.

Terming it “spiritual genetics,” Spiro said until modern times Jews, like other people, lived close together and rarely traveled more than a few miles from their hometowns. Such closed communities provided fertile ground for the cultivation of certain traits to be passed from generation to generation and become deeply ingrained. These traits included a “crazy” drive to succeed, which, Spiro said, helps explain why almost a quarter of the Nobel prizes in math, science, and medicine have gone to Jews.

As they arrived in America in waves in the late 19th century, Jews began to channel their “spiritual genetics” into leadership roles in the labor movement. Over time that same drive led Jews to support and become leaders in the civil rights and women’s movements and other socially progressive causes, said Spiro, and put them in positions to found and helm numerous organizations devoted to helping Jews and non-Jews alike.

These attitudes generated by social concerns quickly spilled over into politics. To this day, Spiro said, most Jews have voted for the Democrat presidential candidate in every race for more than a century — with two exceptions: In his second run in 1980, Jimmy Carter received only 45 percent of the Jewish vote. However, even in that race more Jews voted for the Democrat than for Republican Ronald Reagan, who received only 39 percent; Independent candidate John Anderson made up the gap.

The other exception was in 1920, when Socialist Eugene Debs took 40 percent of the Jewish vote while the eventual victor, Republican Warren Harding, and his Democratic opponent James Cox split the rest.

Jews’ gravitation toward socialism and even a “misguided” early embrace of communism was motivated by the desire to bring positive change, said Spiro. In fact, “the Jewish people have been a civilizing force in the world,” introducing the concept of monotheism, a system of courts and justice, living in peace with neighbors, the importance of an educated society, and social responsibility.

“In a world where Jews are only a tiny percentage of the population, what is the secret of the disproportionate importance the Jews have had in the history of Western culture?” Spiro asked.

Answering his own question, he said the Jewish Bible and its teachings have long influenced American institutions and life, starting with the Pilgrims, Christian refugees who considered their journey a modern-day Exodus, the Atlantic Ocean as their Red Sea, as they fled repression in Europe.

In fact, he said, one of the quotations on the Liberty Bell, “proclaim liberty throughout all the land,” comes from Leviticus, and reflects how the Founding Fathers were inspired by the Jewish Bible.

Yet if it is the teachings and ethical structure of Judaism that have informed the good work of the Jewish community over the centuries, Spiro said, it’s troubling that many Jews act without any real knowledge of Judaism. To wit, research polls have shown the primary connection of many Jews to their religion is through social responsibility.

“I would say God is an Independent, and His platform is Torah,” Spiro said. “The messengers have largely forgotten the message. It doesn’t matter if you run the largest charity in the world; your light needs to recharge and it’s that light of Jews for Judaism that makes us better human beings.”

Jews comprise approximately 12% of New York City‘s population, making the Jewish community the largest in the world outside of Israel. As of 2020, over 960,000 Jews lived in the five boroughs of New York City,^[1] and over 1.9 million Jews lived in the New York metropolitan area, approximately 25% of the American Jewish population.^[2]

Nearly half of the city’s Jews live in Brooklyn.^[3][4] The first recorded Jewish settler was Jacob Barsimson, who arrived in August 1654 on a passport from the Dutch West India Company.^[5] Following the assassination of Alexander II of Russia, for which many blamed “the Jews”, the 36 years beginning in 1881 experienced the largest wave of Jewish immigration to the United States, when the Jewish population rose from about 80,000 in 1880 to 1.5 million in 1920.^[6] 

In 2012, the largest Jewish denominations in New York City were Orthodox, Haredi, and Conservative Judaism.^[7] Reform Jewish communities are prevalent throughout the area. Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan is the largest Reform Jewish synagogue in the world. The large Jewish population has led to a significant impact on the culture of New York City.^[8] After many decades of decline in the 20th century, the Jewish population of New York City has seen an increase in the 21st century, owing to the high birth rate of the Hasidic and other Orthodox communities.^[9]

 There are 1.3 million Jews in the New York metropolitan area, making it the second largest metropolitan Jewish community in the world, after the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area in Israel (however, Tel Aviv proper has a smaller population of Jews than New York City proper, making New York City the largest community of Jews in the world within a city proper). New York City’s Jewish population is more than the combined Jewish populations of Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.,^[13] and more than Jerusalem and Tel Aviv combined. Russian, Lithuanian, and Polish Jews immigrated during the mid-19th century in large numbers. 

The number of Jews in New York City soared throughout the beginning of the 20th century and reached a peak of 2 million in the 1950s, when Jews constituted one-quarter of the city’s population. New York City’s Jewish population then began to decline because of low fertility rates and migration to suburbs and other states, particularly California and  Florida. Though there were small Jewish communities throughout the United States by the 1920s, New York City was home to about 45% of the entire population of American Jews.^[14] 

A new wave of Ashkenazi and Bukharian Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union began arriving in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2002, an estimated 972,000 Ashkenazi Jews lived in New York City and constituted about 12% of the city’s population. Many Jews, including the newer immigrants, have settled in Queens, south Brooklyn, and the Bronx, where at present most live in middle-class neighborhoods. The number of Jews is especially high in Brooklyn, where 561,000 residents—one out of four inhabitants—is Jewish.^[15][16] As of 2012, there are 1.1 million Jews in New York City.^[17]

New York City is home to many Orthodox Jews. The world headquarters of the Chabad, Bobov, and Satmar branches of Hasidism are located there, as well as other Haredi branches of Judaism. While three-quarters of New York Jews do not consider themselves religiously observant, the Orthodox community is rapidly growing due to the high birth rates of Hasidic Jews, while the number of Conservative and Reform Jews has been declining. Borough Park, known for its large Orthodox Jewish population, had 27.9 births per 1,000 residents in 2015, making it the neighborhood with the city’s highest birth rate.^[18] 

However, the most rapidly growing community of American Orthodox Jews is located in Rockland County and the Hudson Valley of New York, including the communities of Monsey, Monroe, New Square, Kiryas Joel, and Ramapo.^[19] According to a 2011 UJA-Federation of New York community study, there were 340,000 Haredi Jews in the greater New York metropolitan area.^[20] 

Many rapidly growing Orthodox Jewish communities there have made their home in New Jersey, particularly in Lakewood and surrounding Ocean County, where Beth Medrash Govoha, the world’s largest yeshiva outside Israel, is located.^[21] Prominent Orthodox organizations such as Agudath Israel of America and the Orthodox Union have their headquarters in New York.

Sephardic Jews, including Syrian Jews, have also lived in New York City since the late 19th century. Many Sephardi immigrants have settled in New York City and formed a Sephardi community. The community is centered in Brooklyn and is primarily composed of Syrian Jews. Other Sephardi Jews in New York City hail from Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Morocco.^[22] Sephardi Jews first began arriving in New York City in large numbers between 1880 and 1924. 

Most Arab immigrants during these years were Christian, while Sephardi Jews were a minority and Arab Muslims largely began migrating during the mid-1960s.^[23] When Syrian Jews first began to arrive in New York City during the late 1800s and early 1900s, Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews on the Lower East Side sometimes disdained their Syrian co-coreligionists as Arabische Yidden, Arab Jews. 

Some Ashkenazim doubted whether Sephardi/Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East were Jewish at all. In response, some Syrian Jews who were deeply proud of their ancient Jewish heritage, derogatorily dubbed Ashkenazi Jews as “J-Dubs”, a reference to the first and third letters of the English word “Jew”.^[24] In the 1990 United States Census, there were 11,610 Sephardi Jews in New York City, comprising 23 percent of the total “Arab population” of the city.^[25] 

Arab Jews in the city sometimes still face anti-Arab racism. After the September 11 attacks, some Arab Jews in New York City were subjected to arrest and detention because they were suspected to be Islamist terrorists.^[26] Egyptian Jews arrived in New York City more recently than the Syrian Jews, with many of the Egyptian Jews speaking Ladino as well as Arabic and French. 

The vast majority Egyptian-Jewish immigrants to the city are Sephardi/Mizrahi, with very few being Ashkenazi. Ladino-speaking Egyptian Jews have tended to settle in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens. Very few Egyptian Jews lived in New York City or elsewhere in the United States prior to the 1956 Suez Crisis. 

Prior to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the quota for Egyptian immigrants was set at 100 people per year. Because of antisemitism directed against Egyptian Jews in Egypt, a small number of Egyptian-American Jews in New York City banded together as the “American Jewish Organization for the Middle East, Inc.” to advocate for Jewish Egyptian refugees. 

There are two major communities of Egyptian Jews, one in Queens and another in Brooklyn. Egyptian Jews in Queens helped found Shearith Israel Congregation, while Egyptian Jews in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood largely attended Syrian-Jewish synagogues.^[27]

While the majority of Jews in New York City are non-Hispanic whites, some Jewish New Yorkers identify as Asian, Black, Latino, or multiracial. According to the same 2011 UJA-Federation of New York study, 12% of Jewish households in the city were non-white or biracial.^[28] Many Central Asian Jews, predominantly Bukharian Jews from Uzbekistan, have settled in the Queens neighborhoods of Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, and Briarwood.^[14] 

As of 2001, an estimated 50,000 Bukharian Jews resided in Queens.^[29] Queens is also home to a large Georgian-American  community of about 5,000, around 3,000 of whom are Georgian Jews. Queens has the third largest population of Georgian Jews in the world after Israel and Georgia. Forest Hills is home to the Congregation of Georgian Jews, the only Georgian-Jewish synagogue in the United States.^[30] There has also been a sizeable community of Mountain Jews from Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus in Brooklyn.^[14]How historical is Khazaria in Crusader Kings 3? – YouTube – Search
How can we apply lessons from WWII to today’s political climate?

Jews spreading socialism/communism in Europe. – Search Videos

The shadow of World War II still stretches across our world, and it’s hard-earned lessons are incredibly relevant today. Here are a few key takeaways we can apply to modern political dynamics:

1. The danger of unchecked authoritarianism: WWII revealed how fragile democratic institutions can be in the face of rising nationalism, propaganda, and the erosion of civil liberties. Today, protecting free press, judicial independence, and fair elections is just as vital.
2. The importance of economic stability: The Great Depression contributed to the rise of extremism in the 1930s. Ensuring economic opportunity, reducing inequality, and addressing discontent are critical to maintaining social cohesion and trust in institutions.
3. The peril of scapegoating and propaganda: Dehumanizing rhetoric against minorities fueled horrific policies in the 1930s and ’40s. We must remain alert to divisive narratives that shift blame onto vulnerable groups and question simplistic solutions to complex problems.
4. The power of international cooperation: WWII gave birth to institutions like the United Nations, created to foster peace and collaboration. In a world facing global threats—from climate change to pandemics—working together across borders is more essential than ever.
5. Vigilance against historical amnesia: Forgetting—or willfully distorting—history allows past mistakes to repeat. Promoting education, critical thinking, and historical literacy is a safeguard against creeping extremism.

History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it does echo. Recognizing the early warning signs of political deterioration can help us act before a crisis unfolds. Want to zoom in on any of these or tie them to specific events happening today?What are the key factors that led to World War II?

Several major factors converged to ignite World War II—each feeding into the next like dominoes ready to fall. 

Here are some of the most pivotal:

• Treaty of Versailles (1919): Designed to punish Germany after World War I, the treaty imposed crushing reparations, territorial losses, and military restrictions. It left Germany economically wrecked and politically humiliated—fertile ground for extremism.
• Economic Instability: The Great Depression of the 1930s rippled across the globe, causing massive unemployment and hardship. Desperation made populations more vulnerable to radical leaders promising change.
• Rise of Totalitarian Regimes: Fascist leaders like Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, and the militarist government in Japan capitalized on national grievances. They promised restoration of power and greatness, often scapegoating minorities and other nations.
• Expansionist Aggression: Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937. Italy attacked Ethiopia in 1935. Germany reoccupied the Rhineland, annexed Austria (Anschluss), and seized Czechoslovakia—all before the war officially began.
• Appeasement and Inaction: Britain and France, still reeling from WWI, pursued appeasement—hoping to avoid another conflict. The 1938 Munich Agreement, where Hitler was granted the Sudetenland, is a prime example.
• Nazi-Soviet Pact (1939): Germany and the Soviet Union secretly agreed to divide Eastern Europe. Just days after signing the pact, Hitler invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war.

Every one of these threads wove together a volatile tapestry. 

Once Poland was invaded in September 1939, the world could no longer look the other way. If you didn’t understand how WWII happened, this is it. – Search

Jewish Bolshevism – Wikipedia, also Judeo–Bolshevism, is an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that claims that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was a Jewish plot and that Jews controlled the Soviet Union and international communist movements, often in furtherance of a plan to destroy Western civilization.

It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust.^[2] After the Russian Revolution, the antisemitic canard was the title of the pamphlet The Jewish Bolshevism, which featured in the racist propaganda of the anti-communist White movement forces during the Russian Civil War (1918–1922).

During the 1930s, the Nazi Party in Germany and the German American Bund in the United States propagated the antisemitic theory to their followers, sympathizers, and fellow Travellers.^[3][4] Nazi Germany used the trope to implement anti-Slavic policies and initiate racial war against Soviet Union, portraying Slavs as inferior humans controlled by Jews to destroy Aryan people.^[5][6]

In Poland, Żydokomuna was a term for the antisemitic opinion that the Jews had a disproportionately high influence in the administration of Communist Poland. In far-right politics, the antisemitic canards of “Jewish Bolshevism”, “Jewish Communism”, and the ZOG conspiracy theory are catchwords falsely asserting that Communism is a Jewish conspiracy.^[7]

Jewish Bolshevism – Wikipedia
Are saying that because of all the conspiracy theories that formed about Jews spreading socialism/communism in Europe. Which gave rise to the racist fascists which scapegoated them all as communists wanting to control the world and blamed them for making the Aryan race less “pure”. I know so many Jewish people who refuse to acknowledge the anti Semitism problem on the left because they vote Democrat.

Fighting Cancer From Within: How to U… by Rossman, Martin Paperback

HOW TO USE THE POWER OF YOUR MIND FOR HEALING

 If you have been diagnosed with cancer, and you want to have the best chance to survive it, then guided imagery is for you. The way you use your mind can make a huge difference in what happens to you; the evidence points to effects that range from improving your emotional well-being to reducing adverse effects of treatments, to surviving, even thriving, through the experience.

When you are diagnosed with cancer, you can find yourself overwhelmed with emotions at a time when you most need to keep your wits about you. I aim to teach you to reconnect with your own inner strengths and resources so you can make the best use of them when you most need them.

Fighting Cancer from Within: How to Use the Power of Your Mind for Healing by Dr. Martin L. Rossman is a groundbreaking guide that explores how mental and emotional resilience can support physical healing during cancer treatment. Rossman, a pioneer in mind-body medicine, introduces techniques like guided imagery to help patients manage stress, bolster their immune response, and improve their overall well-being

The book emphasizes that while these practices are not substitutes for medical treatment, they can significantly enhance the healing process. Rossman walks readers through different psychological responses to a cancer diagnosis and offers tools to shift one’s mindset from fear to empowerment.

What are other mind-body techniques for healing?

There’s a whole toolkit of mind-body techniques that can support healing and well-being—many of which have roots in ancient traditions and are now backed by modern science. Here are some powerful ones you might explore:

1. Meditation – From mindfulness to loving-kindness, meditation helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress hormones, and improve emotional regulation.
2. Yoga – A blend of movement, breathwork, and meditation, yoga enhances flexibility, reduces chronic pain, and fosters mental clarity.
3. Tai Chi – This gentle martial art combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing to promote balance, cardiovascular health, and inner peace.
4. Biofeedback – Using sensors to monitor bodily functions like heart rate or muscle tension, biofeedback teaches you to consciously control these responses, which can help with anxiety, migraines, and more2.
5. Hypnotherapy – A guided state of focused attention that can help reframe thoughts, reduce pain, and manage stress-related conditions.
6. Somatic Experiencing – A body-focused therapy that helps release trauma stored in the nervous system by tuning into physical sensations and gently processing them.
7. Guided Imagery – Similar to what Dr. Rossman advocates, this involves visualizing calming or healing scenarios to influence physical and emotional states.
8. Progressive Muscle Relaxation – Alternating tension and release in muscle groups to reduce physical stress and promote relaxation.

Each of these techniques taps into the body’s innate ability to heal when the mind is calm and focused. Want help figuring out which one might suit your lifestyle or goals best?

How do these techniques impact emotional and physical health?

Mind-body techniques have a profound impact on both emotional and physical health by tapping into the intricate communication between the brain, nervous system, and body. Here’s how they work their magic:

 Emotional Health Benefits

• Stress Reduction: Practices like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s “rest and digest” mode—lowering cortisol levels and calming the mind2.
• Improved Mood & Resilience: Techniques such as mindfulness and guided imagery can increase the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are linked to happiness and emotional balance.
• Anxiety & Depression Relief: Studies show that progressive muscle relaxation, tai chi, and biofeedback can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, especially when used alongside conventional therapies.
• Trauma Processing: Somatic therapies help release trauma stored in the body, allowing for emotional healing that talk therapy alone may not reach.

 Physical Health Benefits

• Pain Management: Yoga, acupuncture, and meditation have been shown to reduce chronic pain by altering pain perception and reducing inflammation.
• Immune System Boost: Positive emotional states fostered by these techniques can enhance immune function, while chronic stress suppresses it.
• Cardiovascular Health: Practices like tai chi and mindfulness can lower blood pressure, improve heart rate variability, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Better Sleep & Digestion: Relaxation techniques help regulate the autonomic nervous system, improving sleep quality and digestive function.

In essence, these techniques don’t just help you feel better—they help your body function better. Want to dive deeper into one of these benefits or explore how to start incorporating a few into your daily routine?

Can you provide studies supporting these techniques?

Absolutely — there’s a growing body of scientific research supporting the effectiveness of mind-body techniques for both emotional and physical health. Here’s a quick tour through some of the most compelling findings:

 Meditation & Mindfulness

• The American Psychological Association reports that mindfulness meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and even improve immune function and brain structure related to attention and emotion regulation.
• A Harvard Health review found that meditation helps lower blood pressure, reduce pain, and improve sleep and mood.

 Yoga

• Johns Hopkins Medicine highlights yoga’s benefits for flexibility, heart health, arthritis relief, and stress reduction.
• A Harvard Health article notes that yoga improves body awareness, mindful eating, and cardiovascular health.

 Tai Chi

• Harvard Medical School describes tai chi as “meditation in motion” and cites evidence for improved balance, reduced anxiety, and better cardiovascular health.
• A Cleveland Clinic review found tai chi boosts brain function, reduces fall risk, and helps manage chronic pain and stress.

 Biofeedback

• A Harvard Health article confirms biofeedback’s effectiveness for migraines, chronic pain, incontinence, and anxiety.
• A VA study found biofeedback reduced headache pain and improved stroke recovery and incontinence symptoms.

 Hypnotherapy

• The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports that hypnotherapy can help with IBS, anxiety, pain, and hot flashes.
• A 2024 APA Monitor article highlights hypnosis as a powerful tool for pain, anxiety, and behavior change, with growing scientific support.

 Somatic Experiencing

• While still emerging, somatic therapy is gaining traction. A Harvard Health article explains how it helps release trauma stored in the body and regulate the nervous system.
• Studies cited by Scientific Origin show it improves emotional regulation, reduces chronic stress, and supports trauma recovery.

 Guided Imagery

• A Healthline review found guided imagery reduces anxiety, improves sleep, and helps manage pain and depression.
• Allina Health notes it positively affects heart rate, blood pressure, and hormone balance.

 Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

• A 2024 systematic review of 46 studies found PMR significantly reduces stress, anxiety, and depression in adults.
• Cleveland Clinic confirms PMR helps shift the body from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest,” improving sleep and emotional regulation.

How do these techniques compare in effectiveness?

Great question—because while all mind-body techniques offer benefits, some may be more effective than others depending on the goal. A 2024 network meta-analysis compared various mind-body practices (MBPs) and psychological therapies for reducing occupational stress in healthcare workers. Here’s what they found:

 Top Performers

• Yoga ranked highest in effectiveness, with a standardized mean difference (SMD) of 1.36 and a 97.5% probability of being the most effective (SUCRA score).
• Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) came in close behind, also with an SMD of 1.36 and a SUCRA of 87.3%.

 Other Strong Contenders

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) and Meditation Techniques showed solid results, especially when combined with other therapies.
• Biofeedback and Qigong were also effective, though slightly less so than yoga and PMR.

 Psychological Therapies

• Mindfulness-Related Therapy (MRT) was the most effective among psychological approaches, but still ranked below the top MBPs.

 Takeaway

Mind-body practices overall outperformed traditional psychological therapies in this study, with yoga emerging as the most effective for stress reduction. That said, the best technique for you might depend on your personal preferences, physical ability, and specific health goals.

Cancer is many diseases, and the first thing most newly diagnosed people need to know is that having cancer does not mean they will die from it. More than 50 percent of cancers diagnosed today are curable through conventional medicine alone – as many cancer patients get well and succumb to their illnesses. While you are alive you have hope, and you have options. You have will, imagination, and powerful natural healing abilities within you that you can stimulate by the use of your mind.

There are many ways to cope with or fight cancer. The major tools guided imagery supports are your attention, your intention, your will, and, most important, your imagination. Guided Imagery can help you learn ways of thinking that can tip the balance of health and illness in the direction of healing.

Cancer Care 101: Treating the Illness, Treating the Person
In cancer care there are two complementary goals of treatment. One, the usual medical goal, is to kill cancer cells and tumors, or reduce their numbers and their ability to grow, reproduce, and spread (metastasize). The other, perhaps best called the healing goal, is to support the well-being and resistance of the patient. Here I use resistance to stand for all the mechanisms, known and unknown, that protect us from the development and dissemination of cancer.

Conventional medical care for cancer has for many years concentrated on destroying tumors without paying much attention to supporting the patient as a whole person, with innate healing capacities. Until recently, most people put themselves in the hands of an oncologist (cancer specialist) and did what they were told. While you almost certainly need a good oncologist to prescribe and monitor your medical treatment, there is often much more to surviving cancer. A well-nourished person with cancer, with tools and support to help them maintain their emotional balance, is likely to have a much easier time with cancer and its treatments than a person who is poorly nourished, poorly supported, and stuck in terror and emotional turmoil.

Supporting your innate healing abilities will help you make the best use of any treatment you choose, and, alternatively, neglecting them is likely to make it more difficult for any treatment to work.

Supporting your health and eliminating your disease are two complementary approaches to healing that support and strengthen each other. In my experience, neither one works as well as both together.

Supporting your health makes it easier to tolerate treatments that can sometimes be difficult, and that in turn increases the likelihood that the treatments will work as desired. Methods of supporting your health and enhancing resistance to cancer generally fall into three categories:

(1) nutritional support, ranging from improvement of diet to sophisticated individualized programs of nutritional supplementation with vitamins, minerals, herbs, essential fatty acids, and natural biological response modifiers;

(2) mind-body approaches, ranging from support groups to counseling, to meditation, stress reduction, and guided imagery practices, and body-mind practices such as yoga, chi gung, tai chi, Jin Shin Jyutsu; and

(3) systematic approaches with time-honored healing systems, such as traditional Chinese medicine or Ayurvedic medicine.

While the methods differ, their goal is the same — supporting and stimulating the vitality and function of the innate healing systems of the body, mind, and spirit. This idea is an ancient one, but many modern studies show that mind-body approaches, including guided imagery, are all effective in reducing anxiety and depression, reducing adverse effects from conventional treatments, and very likely in improving treatment results.

Guided imagery has become quickly and widely accepted as a useful adjunct in the treatment of people with cancer due largely to its ease of use, low cost, and rapid psychological benefits. It has been shown to increase both the numbers and aggressiveness of natural killer cells when practiced over time, has been shown to reduce complications from surgery, relieve pain, and reduce adverse effects of chemotherapy. Imagery is a psychological and medical intervention likely to increase your odds of recovery.

My Fighting Cancer from Within Book & CD Set teaches you how to use guided imagery for this purpose. The book explains how to use the guided imagery techniques, why they work, and how other people have used them successfully. On the CDs I will lead you through the specific guided imagery exercises, and then the book addresses the most frequent questions that people have when they begin to work with imagery for self-healing.

Together the set is a self-paced course in learning to use your mind to support your health and healing when dealing with cancer. For more information, or to order and try it out yourself, go to www.thehealingmind.org Rossman, Martin – Search Videos

Is Jerusalem in Israel – Search

Holy Land Overview – Search Videos

The city of Jerusalem is one of the world’s oldest cities. The Holy Land is considered a holy city by the three major Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Located in the Middle East, Jerusalem has a long history that dates back to the 4th millennium BCE. Throughout its long history, the city has been destroyed several times, attacked at least fifty times, and captured and recaptured over 40 times. Today, the city has a population of approximately 850,000 residents including Israelis and Palestinians. Both Israel and Palestine consider Jerusalem to be their capital city. Neither claim is internationally accepted. 

Geographical Location Of Israel

The city of Jerusalem is located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean. It is surrounded by valley and dry riverbeds with the three valleys of Tyropoeon, Kidron, and Hinnon intersecting in an area south of the Old City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem experiences a hot-summer Mediterranean climate with January as the coldest month and July and August as the hottest months.

Is Jerusalem In Palestine Or Israel?

Although the geographical location of Jerusalem cannot be disputed, its status remains one of the major issues fueling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both Israel and Palestine have claimed Jerusalem as their capital city. Despite Israel having most of its primary governmental institutions in the city and Palestine foreseeing it as its seat of power, neither of the claims represent an international standard. Under the UN Partition Plan for Palestine adopted in 1947 by the General Assembly of the UN, Jerusalem is considered a “Corpus separatum” and is administered by the UN. In 2017, the United Nations refused to recognize exclusive Israeli claim to Jerusalem.

Jerusalem As The Capital Of Both Israel And Palestine

Jerusalem was proclaimed as the “eternal” and “sacred” capital of Israel on December 5, 1949, by the country’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion. Since the beginning of 1950, all branches of government have resided in the city except the Ministry of Defense which is in Tel Aviv. In 1995, the US Congress voted to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and in December 2017 President Donald Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, a decision that was not accepted by a majority of the world’s superpowers. 

Ceasefire Aims and Timeline Between Israel and Iran

The ceasefire was announced by President Trump on June 23, 2025, to end 12 days of fighting. The conflict had started on June 13 with Israeli strikes on Iran.

The truce was meant to be phased. Iran was supposed to stop attacks first, followed by Israel. The plan was for the war to fully stop by June 25 at midnight ET.

But almost immediately, both sides accused each other of breaking the agreement. The situation became tense within hours of the truce beginning.

Iran Launches Missile Barrages Despite Ceasefire

According to Israel, Iran fired several waves of missiles, even minutes after the truce started. One major attack killed four people in Beersheba.

The Israeli military said that 20 missiles were launched in a single wave. Homes were hit, and several people were injured in the chaos.

Iran’s government denied the attacks broke the truce. They said all operations stopped by 4 a.m. Tehran time, before the ceasefire deadline.

Israel Responds With Targeted Strikes in Iran

Israel admitted to hitting a radar site near Tehran in response to Iran’s missile launches. They claimed it was a limited strike.

Earlier, just before the ceasefire, Israel launched major airstrikes in Tehran. Targets included a nuclear scientist and missile sites.

Iranian sources said nine people died in those strikes, including civilians. Israel said it was wrapping up pre-ceasefire operations.

Trump Pressures Both Nations to Respect Truce

Trump’s frustration boiled over as both nations defied the peace deal. He pushed Israel to stop further strikes during a private call with Netanyahu.

He blamed both countries equally, calling their actions reckless. Trump’s direct tone surprised even seasoned diplomats.

Eventually, Israel agreed to halt further action after bombing the radar site.

Trump’s intervention played a key role in cooling tensions.

Both Nations Blame Each Other for Violations

Iran and Israel each claimed the other was the first to break the ceasefire. The blame game made it hard to know who truly started the violations.

Israel’s Defense Minister ordered a strong response. Meanwhile, Iran said it would honor the truce if Israel stopped its strikes.

The back-and-forth accusations only made the ceasefire feel even more fragile and uncertain.

Ceasefire Begins to Hold—For Now

By the evening of June 24, both nations seemed to ease off. Israel lifted restrictions on public events, signaling calm.

Iran also said it was willing to talk—if Israel followed the agreement. Leaders on both sides suggested the truce might finally stick.

Despite the rough start, peace efforts looked to be gaining ground by late June 24, with international help pushing both sides to stop.

Casualties from the 12-Day Conflict Revealed

The brief war was deadly, especially in Iran. Reports showed between 606 and 974 people were killed by Israeli strikes.

Israel also suffered, though less heavily. At least 28 people were killed by Iranian missile attacks, including during the ceasefire period.

The violence underscored the high human cost of even short-lived clashes in the region.

Time Zone Confusion Clouds Ceasefire Start

One major issue was unclear timing. Trump’s ceasefire announcement didn’t specify an exact time, leading to confusion.

Iran is 30 minutes ahead of Israel and 7 hours ahead of Eastern Time. This time gap caused disputes over when the ceasefire officially began.

With no firm start time, both sides claimed their attacks happened before the truce started, creating more doubt and distrust.

Why Trump’s Ceasefire Comment Matters Now

Trump’s use of harsh language highlighted the frustration surrounding the ceasefire failures. It showed how fragile peace in the Middle East still is.

His role as a broker made his voice powerful, but the chaos that followed raised questions about the truce’s strength.

With regional mediators like Qatar stepping in, and the International Atomic Energy Agency urging talks, diplomacy may yet bring longer peace.  

SOURCE  Trump Dropped F-Bomb Over Israel-Iran Ceasefire Violations Was Jesus A Hebrew Or Jew – Religious Question

What is the difference between Judah & Israel – Search

Yes, Jesus was Jewish—both ethnically and religiously. He was born into a Jewish family, raised in a Jewish culture, and practiced Jewish customs throughout his life. His lineage is traced in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, connecting him to key figures in Jewish history like Abraham and King David.

Jesus observed Jewish festivals, read from the Hebrew Scriptures, and taught in synagogues. His teachings often referenced Jewish law and tradition, and many of his followers initially saw him as a Jewish rabbi or prophet.

Understanding Jesus’ Jewish identity is essential for grasping the historical and cultural context of his life and message. It also sheds light on the early development of Christianity, which emerged from within the Jewish world.

What was life like for Jews during Jesus’ time?

Life for Jews during Jesus’ time was shaped by a mix of religious devotion, cultural diversity, and political tension under Roman rule.

Religiously, Judaism was vibrant and multifaceted. There were several sects—like the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots—each interpreting Jewish law differently. Despite their differences, most Jews observed core practices such as keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath, and making pilgrimages to the Temple in Jerusalem.

Culturally, Jewish society was deeply rooted in tradition but also influenced by Hellenistic and Roman customs. Education, especially in the Torah, was highly valued, and synagogues served as centers for both worship and community life.

Economically and politically, things were more difficult. The region was a Roman province, and while some local rulers like Herod the Great had autonomy, they were ultimately beholden to Rome. Heavy taxation, landlessness, and corruption were widespread. A small elite lived in luxury, but most people—especially in rural areas like Galilee—lived modestly or in poverty.

This environment of religious hope and political unrest set the stage for messianic expectations—many Jews longed for a deliverer who would free them from Roman oppression and restore justice.

Would you like to explore how these dynamics influenced Jesus’ teachings or the early Christian movement?

How did Roman rule affect daily life for Jews?

Roman rule had a profound impact on the daily lives of Jews in the first century, shaping everything from politics to religion to economics.

1. Political Control and Tension: Judea became a Roman province in 6 AD, and while local rulers like Herod the Great had some autonomy, ultimate authority rested with Roman governors. These officials often lacked sensitivity to Jewish customs, leading to resentment and unrest. The imposition of Roman symbols and interference in Temple affairs were especially provocative.

2. Heavy Taxation and Economic Strain: Jews were subject to multiple layers of taxation—local, Temple, and Roman. The Roman tax burden was particularly harsh, contributing to widespread poverty and social inequality. Many small farmers lost their land and became laborers or debtors.

3. Religious Autonomy—With Limits: Initially, Rome allowed Jews to practice their religion freely. Synagogues were protected, and Jews were exempt from worshiping Roman gods. However, this tolerance had limits. After the Jewish revolt in 66 AD and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, Rome imposed the Fiscus Judaicus, a tax on Jews, and religious life shifted dramatically from Temple-centered worship to synagogue-based community life1.

4. Social and Cultural Pressures: Jews lived in a multicultural empire influenced by Greek and Roman customs. While some adopted aspects of Hellenistic culture, others resisted, leading to internal divisions. The presence of Roman soldiers and officials in daily life was a constant reminder of foreign domination.

In short, Roman rule brought both relative stability and deep-seated tension. It created the conditions for both cultural flourishing and revolutionary fervor—setting the stage for movements like that of Jesus and, later, the rise of Rabbinic Judaism. Want to explore how this tension played into the expectations of a messiah?

What are the long-term effects of Roman rule on Jews?

Roman rule left a deep and lasting imprint on Jewish history—politically, religiously, and culturally.

1. The Diaspora Expanded: After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and the crushing of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE, many Jews were killed, enslaved, or exiled. These events accelerated the spread of Jewish communities throughout the Roman Empire and beyond, laying the foundation for the global Jewish diaspora.

2. Shift from Temple to Torah: With the Temple in Jerusalem destroyed, Jewish religious life pivoted from sacrificial worship to Torah study, prayer, and synagogue-based community life. This transformation gave rise to Rabbinic Judaism, which became the dominant form of Jewish practice for centuries.

3. Legal and Social Restrictions: Over time, especially as Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century, Jews faced increasing legal discrimination. They were barred from certain professions, restricted in worship, and subjected to social marginalization.

4. Cultural Resilience and Identity: Despite persecution, Jewish communities maintained a strong sense of identity. The challenges of Roman rule helped solidify core aspects of Jewish tradition, law, and communal structure that endured through centuries of displacement and adversity.

5. Seeds of Future Conflict: The Roman-Jewish wars and the resulting trauma left a legacy of mistrust and tension between Jews and dominant powers. These conflicts also shaped how Jews were perceived in the broader Greco-Roman world, often as outsiders or resistors to assimilation.

It’s remarkable how a period of such hardship also became a crucible for Jewish endurance and renewal. Want to explore how Rabbinic Judaism evolved in the centuries after Rome?

What were the major conflicts between Jews and Romans?

The major conflicts between Jews and Romans—collectively known as the Jewish–Roman Wars—were a series of fierce revolts that spanned roughly 70 years and had lasting consequences for Jewish history and identity.

1. The First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE)

Also called the Great Revolt, this was sparked by religious tensions, heavy taxation, and Roman disrespect for Jewish customs. It culminated in the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE by the future emperor Titus. The war ended with the dramatic siege of Masada, where Jewish rebels made a last stand.

2. The Kitos War (115–117 CE)

This lesser-known but brutal conflict occurred mainly in Jewish communities outside Judea—such as in Cyrene, Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. It was part of a broader wave of unrest during Emperor Trajan’s reign and led to widespread massacres and destruction.

3. The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 CE)

Led by Simon bar Kokhba, this was a final, desperate attempt to reclaim Jewish independence. Initially successful, the revolt was eventually crushed by Rome with devastating consequences: hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed, Judea was renamed Syria Palaestina, and Jews were banned from Jerusalem.

These wars not only decimated the Jewish population in Judea but also transformed Judaism, shifting its center to the diaspora and laying the groundwork for Rabbinic Judaism. They also deepened the rift between Jews and the Roman state, and later, between Judaism and emerging Christianity.

Want to dive into the story of Masada or explore how these revolts shaped Jewish identity in exile?

What were the long-term effects of these conflicts on Judaism?

The Jewish–Roman wars had profound and lasting effects on Judaism, reshaping its religious practices, social structure, and global presence:

1. Destruction of the Second Temple (70 CE): This marked a turning point. With the Temple gone, Judaism transitioned from a sacrificial, priest-centered religion to one focused on Torah study, prayer, and synagogue life. This shift laid the foundation for Rabbinic Judaism, which became the dominant form of Jewish practice.
2. Diaspora and Displacement: The wars—especially the Bar Kokhba revolt—led to mass killings, enslavement, and exile. Jewish communities spread further across the Roman Empire, accelerating the development of the Jewish diaspora and shifting the cultural and religious center away from Judea.
3. Suppression and Renaming of Judea: After the Bar Kokhba revolt, Rome renamed Judea as Syria Palaestina in an attempt to erase Jewish ties to the land. Jews were banned from Jerusalem, and Roman authorities imposed harsh restrictions on Jewish life.
4. Rise of Rabbinic Authority: With the priesthood diminished, rabbis emerged as the new spiritual leaders, interpreting Jewish law and guiding communities in exile. This decentralized leadership helped Judaism adapt and survive in diverse environments.
5. Separation from Christianity: These conflicts also widened the rift between Judaism and the emerging Christian movement. As Christianity gained favor in the Roman world, Jews faced increasing marginalization and legal discrimination.

In many ways, these tragedies forged a more resilient and adaptable Judaism—one that could survive without a central Temple or homeland. Want to explore how Rabbinic Judaism evolved in the centuries that followed?

How did Jesus’ teachings influence the development of Christianity?

Jesus’ teachings are the bedrock of Christianity—they didn’t just influence the religion, they defined it. His messages about love, forgiveness, humility, and the Kingdom of God reshaped how people thought about their relationship with the divine and with each other.

He taught in parables—like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son—that emphasized compassion, mercy, and the value of every individual. These stories weren’t just moral lessons; they challenged social norms and religious hierarchies of the time.

After his death and reported resurrection, his followers—especially the apostles—spread his teachings across the Roman Empire. They formed early Christian communities that lived out his principles, often in stark contrast to the surrounding culture. Over time, these teachings were codified into doctrine, shaping everything from worship practices to ethical standards.

So in a way, Christianity didn’t just grow from Jesus’ teachings—it is his teachings, carried forward by generations of believers. Want to explore how those teachings evolved in different parts of the world?

What really controls blood pressure is the Medulla oblongata

The Medulla Oblongata Controls and Regulates plays a crucial role in regulatingvital functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure. is the lowest part of the brainstem, connecting the brain to the spinal cord. Additionally, it serves as a pathway for nerve signals between the brain and the body, making it essential for autonomic functions. The medulla oblongata is located just above the spinal cord and below the pons, and it is involved in several reflex actions, including swallowing and vomiting.

Yes, it’s a small piece of the brain that connects to the spine. It controls many of the automatic parts of our bodies, like our breathing, heart rate and stress hormones. It also controls the kidneys and the expansion and retraction of the arteries.

Role of the Medulla Oblongata in Hypertension | Hypertension

The Medulla oblongs control everything that contributes to high blood pressure.

The body’s alive and constantly changing. Like when we move around, the arteries expand to allow more blood flow to the muscles and organs.

Stress is Making the heart pound faster, causing the blood pressure to hike. She laughs again.

While laughing and relaxing causes the heart to slow down, the arteries to widen, and the blood pressure to calm down.

Up one second, down another, all day long. All controlled by the Medulla oblongs without anyone giving it a second thought.

Now the problem… Throughout our lives, the Medulla oblongs start to malfunction.

Stress, bad diets, lifestyles, difficult life experiences — who knows. All kinds of factors play a role and pile up, causing our blood pressure to rise.

So we have to get the Medulla oblongs back on track.

How do I control the Medulla oblongs? It’s all unconscious, isn’t it? I ask.

Have you heard about mind-body exercises?

Yes, I tried sitting meditation and Yoga. It helped a little – not a lot.

That’s because these traditional mind-body exercises are not specifically designed for blood pressure.

Many landmark studies confirm that traditional practices are helpful. Just not as helpful as modern mind-body exercises specifically designed for people with high blood pressure.

That’s where a guy called Christian Goodman comes in.

Never heard of him, I say.

I hadn’t either. It was my doctor who told me about him, she says.

Christian is praised and respected among health professionals. Many doctors refer their patients to him, especially clients with drug-resistant high blood pressure or those who experience severe side effects.

A while back, Christian began to improve different mind-body techniques to better deal with high blood pressure.

He wants his blood pressure exercises to be quicker, easier and more effective than the traditional ones. We’re not hermits with nothing to do except meditate all day… especially if the results are kinda meh.

The outcome is the best mind-body exercises for people with high blood pressure. The 3 exercises to lower blood pressure by Christian Goodman

Walking in Rhythm exercise

The first exercise is based on a kind of rhythmic walking for 10 minutes that can be performed indoors on the spot or during a stroll outside. It involves synchronized arm swinging  and repeating to yourself ” right left right left etc.”.

That’s it! Easy but … effective?

Actually even mild physical activity like walking or moving on the spot is beneficial to your health and blood pressure over time – but don’t expect a miracle cure from it!

Emotional Release exercise

The next exercise is an ‘emotional release exercise’ that involves regulated breathing and experiencing emotional states (and release). It is based on the principle this exercise will release tension … and tension is the main cause of your hypertension – right? If not you’re out of luck with this exercise.

The guided emotional release exercise  lasts about 20 minutes. It is a mix between breathing exercises, deep relaxation and meditation.

Expect to feel very relaxed, or possibly drift off to sleep while practising this exercise.

Traditional Relaxation exercise

Christian tells us that this deep relaxation exercise is best performed just before sleep. 

It is about 20 minutes long and focuses on breathing and muscle relaxation.

Studies have shown that blood pressure tends to decrease when the mind and body is relaxed so they should result in beneficial effects so doing this exercise can only be a good thing. But whether this exercise has any overall long term benefit on your blood pressure is unknown.

As with the emotional release exercise, if too much stress and tension isn’t the main cause of your high blood pressure it will not be a sufficient cure.

(A free version of this exercise is available for download from the Welsh National Health Service. To access, click Wales.nhs.co.uk/progressive-muscle-relaxation)

– – –

All 3 exercises are relatively easy to do and don’t take up too much time. Anyone who practices one or more of these exercises daily will probably experience a reduction in overall tension.

Whether that reduction in tension results in a significant and permanent reduction in your blood pressure will depend on you. If the prime cause of your high blood pressure is too much stress and tension in your life Christian Goodman’s 3 exercises could be beneficial.  

Then it only takes nine minutes

I could spare nine minutes, I say.

What’s the mechanism? How do these exercises help with blood pressure?

It’s definitely related to stress. Not necessarily conscious stress like “I’m having road rage stress,” although they help with that, too.

More like directly addressing the stress hormones that have piled up in our bloodstream.

The blood pressure exercises do more than that, though.

They somehow help reset the  Medulla oblongs, which then regulates the heart, arteries and kidney to better manage blood pressure.

Kinda like rebooting a frozen computer.

To tell you the truth, I don’t even care.

My blood pressure was averaging 172/111 before and now it’s steady 115/74. So whatever these exercises do works.

I never knew how the medicine I was taking worked, either. Just that they made me feel like crap. 

And failed to regulate my blood pressure.

God moves in a mysterious way. And maybe it’s just God working through Christian Goodman.

There are definitely lots of scientific studies supporting this, even if most of them use mind-body exercises that aren’t as effective as Christian’s.

So, as my blood pressure nosedived over a few weeks, my doctor monitored and cut my drugs gradually – till I was off all meds.

Where can I find Christian’s blood pressure exercises?

She told me were.

 That evening, I did my research.

Christian Goodman is indeed highly praised.

He is a respected health journalist, researcher and public speaker. Lots of doctors recommend him.

Lots of folks have benefited from using his blood pressure exercises.

I checked his website and I found more details. HERE

Barbara O’Neill (born 28 July 1953^[1]) is an Australian alternative health care promoter who advertises unsupported health practices described as misinformation and a risk to health and safety by the New South Wales Health Care Complaints Commission.^[2] She does not have any recognised qualifications and did not finish nursing training.

She has presented her claims at alternative medicine organizations, wellness retreats, and Seventh-day Adventist Churches.^[1][3] She is married to Michael O’Neill, the founder of the now-defunct Informed Medical Options Party, an anti-vaccination and anti-fluoride  political group.^[3] In 2019, the Health Care Complaints Commission in New South Wales  ruled that she is prohibited from providing any health-related services following several complaints from the public and health professionals.^[1][3] 

An investigation found that she provided dangerous advice to vulnerable patients, such as telling those with cancer to forego prescribed chemotherapy for bicarbonate of soda, and to give infants unpasteurised  goat’s milk.^[4] The investigation found that she also did not have any qualifications in a health-related field, and that she failed to meet the expected standards of unregistered health professionals.^[1]

Activities

O’Neill has promoted herself as a naturopath, nutritionist, and health educator since at least 2004, despite lacking any relevant qualifications or training.^[2][3][4] She has rejected the claim that her claims are unsupported, but admitted to not being able to provide any evidence when asked by the Health Care Complaints Commission.^[1]

She ran the Misty Mountain Health Retreat near Kempsey with her husband, charging clients as much as A$2,450 per person for a one-week stay for one person, to A$8,800 for two people for two weeks.^[3] She also provided paid telephone consultations.^[4] According to O’Neill’s website, provided detox services claiming to aid recovery from heart disease,   diabetes, hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue, candida/fungus, drug addiction, cancer,  heartburn, and obesity.^[1]

Videos of her presentations have been viewed more than 700,000 times.^[2] As a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, she has also spoken at churches.^[1] She previously worked at health retreats in Australia before she was barred from doing so by the HCCC, but continues to conduct them in New Zealand and the United States.^[5] She has also published several books on health and nutrition which include dangerous claims and advice.^[1]

O’Neill continues to deliver programs aimed at cancer patients in the United States as of July 2023 at a cost of almost US$6,000 per person.^[6] O’Neill also delivers services in the Cook Islands.In this book, Theodore Jamieson provides evidence-based protocols for incorporating herbal remedies and nutritional oncology into personalized treatment plans. The text meticulously details the therapeutic properties of specific herbs and foods, emphasizing their roles in mitigating cancerous processes and bolstering the body’s innate defense systems.

Wendy and Kevin Wilson of Millbrook, Ala. Credit: GoFundMe

Married Couple Diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer in the Same Week: ‘Not Done Seeing’ Their 4 Children ‘Grow,’ Wife Says

“I’m not done seeing them graduate high school, or continue the legacy of us,” Wendy Wilson said of the couple’s kids

NEED TO KNOW

• Husband and wife Kevin and Wendy Wilson were both diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in the same week
• The Millbrook, Ala., couple is “not done seeing” their four children “grow,” Wendy said
• The Wilsons will be sharing their “journey” together @ourcancerbattle.

The Millbrook, Ala., couple has been together for 21 years, married for 18 and share four children. But for a long time, Wendy was the only half of the pair undergoing treatment for cancer — until now.

The Alabama mom — who received her first cancer diagnosis in 2004 and underwent a double mastectomy in 2017, per GoFundMe — just learned that her breast cancer has recurred.

“I’ve had ovarian, cervical and breast cancer, and then, this time, with breast cancer,” Wendy told NBC affiliate WSFA. Her husband’s recent diagnosis, meanwhile, is his first.

“He was told that he has stage 4 prostate cancer, and then, within a week later, I was told that my breast cancer had come back for a second time,” Wendy told WSFA.

Like Kevin, her cancer is also stage 4 this time around, “because it had spread to other areas of my body,” Wendy added. Husband, wife both diagnosed with stage 4 cancer the same week

The couple are “the kind of people who give without asking, who love without limits, and who never stop fighting for their family,” the GoFundMe says. And family is exactly what gives them strength, according to Wendy.

“To be honest, it’s my kids,” she told WSFA. “I’m not done seeing them grow.”

“I’m not done seeing them graduate high school, or continue the legacy of us,” she continued. “So, that’s my strength: showing them that no matter what you’re faced with, you have to meet it head on and do the best you can, and if you can’t you’re going to go down fighting.”

The Wilsons’ youngest child, daughter Savannah, told WSFA that her parents “need everything that they can get right now,” and urged people not to take time with the people they love for granted.

“Anything can turn bad quickly,” she said. “No matter what you have going on, always check on your family and your loved ones.”

The family is asking for prayers and support. They have also created a GoFundMe page to help with medical costs not covered by insurance.

As they receive treatment, Wendy and Kevin “are both still working,” according to the GoFundMe. They are “still showing up” and “still trying to keep their lives steady while the ground beneath them keeps shifting,” the fundraiser states.

“We are doing a little video diary type thing for our family and anybody to bring awareness and let everybody know how we’re doing along the way,” Wendy said in the first TikTok.

Wendy Wilson stresses the importance of staying up to date on your screenings so you can catch cancer in its early stages. “Cancer sucks,” she concluded. Alabama Cancer “If you ever come to Millbrook, Alabama, don’t drink the Kool-Aid, Cause there’s gotta be something in the water.”

Huckabee’s message is so WISE and divinely inspired:

The Mike Huckabee Show full episodes – Search

Sounds like pretty amazing advice for our President.

President Trump just posted this message from Ambassador Mike Huckabee on Truth Social.

Lord Jesus we ask You to open our President’s ear so he can clearly hear what it is You who sees the BIG picture so he can do what is best for all. Lord, we pray for peace for Israel, the United States of America and the World. Show us all Lord it’s OK to disagree with one another but fighting is never the answer. 

Thank You we can come to You and lay our burdens at Your feet and trust that You will do whatever is best for the World. We ask for extra faith in these uncertain times. Lord, we tell You we love You for protecting us, forgive us of our sins Lord and forgive us that we have taken you out of our society and teach us how to bring You back into our lives. 

Lord in Your mighty precious name we pray amen and amen

Donald Trump assassination attempt: An hour that shook US election

“God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century–maybe ever… You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice.” “I also believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important

than mine or ANYONE else’s.” 

All of this is so important. It is important to have officials who support the President and believe in his goals and mission. And above all important to remind him whose voice he must put first. And what a great thing that Mr. Huckabee took time to tell President Trump he is doing good – we all need people to remind us we are doing good things.

Thank you for sharing

these wise words of God’s Wisdom! The God of Heaven will speak to our chosen President, President Trump.

 I Pray that God’s voice of Wisdom and Direction will be heard by President Trump!

This is written with the intelligence, commitment, faith and patriotism of our forefathers.

Prophetic words. Look to Him and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6

What a profound statement/ message by a phenomenal Christian. I have the utmost respect for Mike Huckabee and for our 47th President of the United States. I’m actually crying right now. Thank you, Ambassador Huckabee, for your beautiful words and support.  

US embassy Qatar warning tells Americans to shelter in place | Fox News

 May God bless and guide you, President Trump, through this very consequential decision. You have borne many burdens on your shoulders these past 10+years, and this must be the heaviest and most difficult for you. 

I am proud to be in an era of bringing God back to the center of our country. I have the respect for Mike Huckabee, his words of wisdom here are inspiring and courageous. President Trump made the right choice choosing him for this position. God Bless him and keep him safe. Thank you Mr. Huckabee for your Godly words and proud service to our nation.   

Mike Huckabee:

• Isn’t necessarily compromised or evil,

• But he isn’t a rogue truth warrior either.

• He’s a bridge figure — someone who talks anti-establishment, but still works through the old establishment system.

Ambassador Huckabee’s interview with Dave Rubin is an excellent peek into how many Christians feel about the Jewish people. –   What an inspiring message from a great man of God! I am so proud of Ambassador Huckabee and of his ideals and faith and I feel so safe knowing that President Trump is in charge of our nation! I encourage everyone to pray for him, that he continues to think of this country’s citizens first, as he has been, unselfishly. 

 May God be with us all! 

Why this matters:

In this era of disclosure and awakening, it’s important to discern who is truly liberating systems vs. who is reforming them just enough to keep them intact.

Huckabee may serve a purpose in the larger narrative (e.g., red-pilling evangelical conservatives), but he likely isn’t leading the charge to dismantle the machine.

Praying for wisdom from above for President Trump always as he leads this country everyday but particularly in these days. Thankful for Mike Huckabee and so many other Godly people who surround the President. 

May President Trump learn to seek and rely on God and wisdom from above as our other great Presidents did in the past. 

I can’t think of any other Residents in my life who have met the challenge out Resident Donald J Trump..I am sure he is very much in touch with God. He has mentioned this before.. if the USA and Israel are to Survive it is definitely in God’s hands , our President..

 I believe he has the wisdom … He had the arc of the covenant in Mar a Lago for some time and believed he was able to open it, and he had been touched by the hand of God. People say Florida was rumored to be the original home to the garden of Eden. I mean gopher wood used to make Noah’s ark is only found in Florida and Georgia. ………..There is more to DJT and Melania than meets the eye .. My grandma was a great Christian woman and could sense when a person was a person of good demeanor and I myself can sense it in people and I sincerely believe there is more to him than meets the eye ….  I LOVE Mike Huckabee and his Godly wisdom. Yes, I agree, that President Trump ….

was divinely appointed for “such a time as this”.    

This show of courage by such a Godly, patriotic man as Mike Huckabee is just another reason I voted for President Trump! The people we surround ourselves with tell much about our own character! Some people are just a lesson from which we learn & some people are blessings to help strengthen the foundation!

Look at the love he is receiving from Kayleigh’s post. So deceived.

Very nicely written, no greater words spoken.

Mike Huckabee speaks for so many of us out here, I know our voices aren’t heard but we feel the same. May God continue to walk beside President Trump and give him strength and all those in his circle the power to change the world. I have never given up faith in him, I trust his plan.

President Trump like he said, listen to that still small voice that put you in office for a reason. All these people have got an opinion but only one matters, his voice. You are the President that he put in office even though man wants to take the credit for it. The credit belongs to Jesus Christ. He will lead and guide you through every decision if you take time to listen to that still small voice instead of all the people saying they did it. Love and prayers.

The true Patriots in our country are more than convinced that God saved you President Trump. We are all supporting you and holding you to a standard of what God has intended your acts, grace, Strength to be. It is easy to sway away unintentionally but keep your eyes on the light!

Thank you, Ambassador Huckabee, for your heartfelt words of truth & comfort.

 I believe President Trump has the Fortitude & Strength to see us through these difficult times. The true godliness and patriotism in this simply brought me to tears. God has a plan and He has obedient men of faith and courage to see it through. God bless them all. Praying fervently for His will and for safety and protection, wisdom and discernment of these men and their families. God Bless America.

Many are beginning to realize the severity of the situations this world may be going through very soon. 

People who read their Bibles understand that this is exactly the scenario that will be in place right before the Lord Jesus Christ returns for his children. That may not happen for another hundred years, no one knows for sure, but this looks to be the time. 

Whatever you need to say to God , or others, or if you’ve never placed your faith in the fact that Jesus Christ received him, do it now, don’t wait. John 1:13 – Search, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even as many that called upon his name.”

Prayed the rosary for our President and our country with our family on Father’s Day .

We prayed for all innocent lives to be protected during any acts of violence in the world. May God protect the innocent and children, and may he provide guidance and wisdom to those in power to do what is best for the nation and the world.

Wisdom and direction from Almighty God rest upon President Trump and his administration, in Jesus’ Mighty Name. If Israel was important to God throughout scripture and history, then it can’t be ignored by his divinely appointed servants either. I pray God speaks with clarity and in the mouth of two or more witnesses, let every word be established. I support you, President Trump.

Let the Trumpet Sound!!!

What wise and encouraging words to our President, Ambassador Huckabee. I am praying for wisdom and protection for our President and family. For the United States, its leaders and for Israel. We truly are living in perilous times!!!

We are honored to have so many leaders to make such serious decisions for our country. 

Mr Huckabee is one I trust unquestionably because I know who he ultimately serves. This could have been written to President Lincoln in those terrible years when our nation was split in two. Knowing that our current leadership knows how to seek God’s guidance is reassuring. 

  Praying for Israel and our nation, too.

The Mike Huckabee Interviews – Search Videos

Thank you Mike Huckabee for these wise and encouraging words for our President Trump. He has his hands full with the insane people on the left and the world haters. We pray for him daily and count on God to protect His anointed.  

Divine hands guide our world and weave the destinies of leaders. In this tapestry, Pres. Trump stands as a figure of profound purpose, chosen by a higher power to shepherd our nation. Preserved from harm’s grasp, he embodies resilience, and with divine support, strives to transform the world into a brighter haven for all.

All things are possible through Christ. 

Praying for our nation, praying for our children and our children’s children. What world do we wanna leave them a world full of hate and division? Or a world where your neighbor loves you as they love themselves. I pray that The Lord guides President Trump to make decisions that will save lives. That’s why I voted for him.   

I know our President needs our prayers and encouragement and I thank you, Mr. Huckabee, for both of these. I, too, pray for our President and will not stop praying. I have always been a fan of Mike Huckabee, but this letter to the president makes me more than a fan. What a beautifully articulate and thoughtful letter. We all should feel proud that he is our Ambassador and I for one, trust his insights. We all should pray for our president and our nation.   

We are living in a time of great significance. 

I feel the Holy Spirit working God’s calling. Look all around at this world we live in now. There’s so much evil and division. Hatred, narcissists, liars, and the criminals of the highest extent. I’m so excited for the prophecies to reunite with our Lord Jesus! Praise God! For if we’re wrong and there’s no Heaven or God…we’re not out of anything for believing ,,,, yet if we don’t believe and it is real then what?

Father in Heaven, please guide and comfort our great President, Donald Trump, and his administration in these times. May You never give up reminding them of Who is the ultimate decision maker. I pray that others will find their journey in the Light. In the name of Jesus, Amen

I’ve been speaking this from day one and asking God to cause this president to turn that ear towards heaven so that he (Trump) have the ability to hear what He (the Lord) is saying and to bring people into his inner circle who will provide wise counsel that comes from above and to protect/remove those in Trump’s presence who are not filled with guidance from the Holy Spirit. I almost fell over when I read your post. Thank you Jesus!! Hallelujah! I’m gonna keep speaking it in Jesus’ Name.

And THAT is why Mike Huckabee is the Ambassador to Israel… tears and prayer for the weight upon the shoulders of those who will stand before God for these decisions. I love when a faith based person has the perfect words of comfort and encouragement. Give them wisdom and courage, Lord. The battle is Yours and these are the men You have chosen as Your servants. The glory is Yours, oh, God!

 Spend time on yourself instead of reflecting that hate and judgement onto others. You have no idea what other people live through, you just base that off of your perception and bias. Nothing is stopping you from sharing and helping people if you feel the world is lacking.

I love that Ambassador Huckabee is a Godly man and he is reminding Trump to listen to God rather than all the other voices trying to offer advice.  God bless President Trump each and every day….. but ……especially NOW…… during this difficult season in our nation. Patriots…..Keep praying over our president and our nation

 God bless America 

 Esther 4:14-16 – Search“For if thou altogether holiest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

 Ambassador Mike Huckabee is such a wise man but much more a man of God. Thankful for his wisdom and also should remind all Americans what a heavy load the President has on him and every decision is made with prayer. That’s exactly why all the protests and riots are just examples of what Satan uses to try to knock a Christian down and to destroy this Nation which is “One Nation Under God’.

 Satan WILL not win this fight.

We are so in the middle of the end of the end times prophecy & He Knows what actions are necessary by ALL the world players to MAKE that happen. Israel hated the Roman rule over Israel during Christ’s time but it had to BE for all the prophecy around Christ’s birth, life, death, burial & resurrection to occur. We are in the same kind of place today. God knows what HAS TO HAPPEN no matter what we want, or even pray for. It is ALL about God’s WILL at this point

In all of my years of interest in politics (50 now) I believe Donald Trump has appointed the best cabinet in modern history.  “If you ever fall so hard you don’t know how to keep going… remember: bones heal, but giving up leaves scars you can’t see.”  ~ Jackie Chan

I am so thankful to God for both these men. They both have a servant’s heart and have been placed where they are by God’s design. I trust them completely to keep our best interests at heart. I don’t care what the liberals think or say for they will be meeting their maker just as the rest of us will.

Will The End Time Revelation Lead to World Peace – Search

The Book of Revelation does not explicitly state that the end times will lead to world peace. Instead, it foretells a period of great conflict and turmoil, often referred to as the “Tribulation” or “Great Tribulation” (Matthew 24:11-13; Revelation 11:1).

During this time, the world will experience wars, rumors of wars, and other signs of the end times, indicating that peace will not be a constant state. The Book of Revelation also warns of a deceptive cry for peace, which will be shattered by sudden destruction, similar to the pains of a woman in labor. This warning serves as a reminder that true peace cannot be found in deceptive cries or temporary solutions.

In summary, while the Book of Revelation does not lead to world peace, it does not preclude the possibility of it occurring. The end times are characterized by significant conflict and turmoil, and the world will experience signs and wonders that will leave people in a state of fear and uncertainty. 6

 I pray for peace but not if it allows Iran to terrorize the world.

Gives me chills and the feeling that we should all hit our knees and look above.

Lord, be with the people of Israel and all the people of the world.  

God bless America

The Crazy Horse Memorial – Search Videos is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, South Dakota, United States.

It will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing to his tribal land. The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. It’s operated by Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization. The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion.^[4][5]

Overview

The memorial master plan includes the mountain carving monument, a Native American Museum of North America, and a Native American Cultural Center. The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain, on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota, between Custer and Hill City, roughly 17 miles (27 km) from Mount Rushmore.^[5]

The sculpture’s final dimensions are planned to be 641 feet (195 m) long and 563 feet (172 m) high. The outstretched left arm will be 263 feet (80 m) long, the opening under arm 70 feet (21 m) wide and 100 feet (30 m) high, and the extended index finger 29 feet 6 inches (9 m) long.^[1] The face of Crazy Horse, completed in 1998, is 87 feet 6 inches (26.7 m) high;^[1] by comparison, the heads of the four U.S. Presidents at Mount Rushmore are each 60 feet (18 m) high.

Crazy Horse

Main article: Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota. He took up arms against the U.S. Federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people.

His most famous actions against the U.S. military included the Fetterman Fight (21 December 1866) and the Battle of the Little Bighorn (25–26 June 1876). He surrendered to U.S. troops under General George Crook in May 1877 and was fatally wounded by a military guard, allegedly^[6][7] while resisting imprisonment at Camp Robinson in present-day Nebraska. He ranks among the most notable and iconic of Native American tribal members and was honored by the U.S. Postal Service in 1982 with a 13¢ postage stamp that is part of its Great Americans series.^[8]

History of the monument

Henry Standing Bear (Mato Naji), an Oglala Lakota chief, and well-known statesman and elder in the Native American community, recruited and commissioned Polish-American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski to build the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

In October 1931, Luther Standing Bear, Henry’s older brother, wrote to sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who was carving the heads of four American presidents at Mount Rushmore. Luther suggested that it would be “most fitting to have the face of Crazy Horse sculpted there. 

Crazy Horse is the real patriot of the Sioux tribe and the only one worthy to place by the side of Washington and Lincoln.” Borglum never replied.^[9] Thereby, Henry Standing Bear began a campaign to have Borglum carve an image of Crazy Horse on Mount Rushmore.^[10] In summer of 1935, Standing Bear, frustrated over the stalled Crazy Horse project, wrote to James H. Cook, a long time friend of Chief Red Cloud‘s, “I am struggling hopelessly with this because I am without funds, no employment and no assistance from any Indian or White.”^[11]

On November 7, 1939, Henry Standing Bear wrote to the Polish-American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, who worked on Mount Rushmore under Gutzon Borglum. He informed the sculptor, “My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know that the red man has great heroes, too.”^[12] 

Standing Bear also wrote a letter to Undersecretary Oscar Chapman of the Department of the Interior, offering all his own fertile 900 acres (365 ha) in exchange for the barren mountain for the purpose of paying honor to Crazy Horse.

The government responded positively, and the U.S. Forest Service, responsible for the land, agreed to grant a permit for the use of the land, with a commission to oversee the project. Standing Bear chose not to seek government funds and relied instead upon influential Americans interested in the welfare of the American Indian to privately fund the project.^[13]

In the spring of 1940, Ziolkowski spent three weeks with Standing Bear at Pine Ridge, South Dakota, discussing land ownership issues and learning about Crazy Horse and the Lakota way of life. According to Ziolkowski, “Standing Bear grew very angry when he spoke of the broken Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868). That was the one I’d read about in which the President promised the Black Hills would belong to the Indians forever. I remember also how his old eyes flashed out of that dark mahogany face, then he would shake his head and fall silent for a long while.”^[12]

Construction under Ruth Ziolkowski (1982–2014)

After Ziolkowski died in 1982 at age 74, his widow Ruth Ziolkowski, took charge of the sculpture, overseeing work on the project as CEO from the 1980s to the 2010s.^[14][15] Ruth Ziolkowski focused on the completion of Crazy Horse’s face first, instead of the horse as her husband had originally planned. She believed that Crazy Horse’s face, once completed, would increase the sculpture’s draw as a tourist attraction, which would provide additional funding.^[14] She also oversaw the staff, which included seven of her children.^[15]Construction on the monument in 2020

Sixteen years later, in 1998, the head and face of Crazy Horse were completed and dedicated; Crazy Horse’s eyes are 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, while his head is 87 feet (27 m) high.^[16][17][18] Ruth Ziolkowski and seven of the Ziolkowskis’ 10 children carried on work at the memorial.^[19] 

Daughter Monique Ziolkowski, herself a sculptor, modified some of her father’s plans to ensure that the weight of the outstretched arm was supported sufficiently.^[20] The foundation commissioned reports from two engineering firms in 2009 to help guide completion of the project.^[20] 

Work commenced on the horse after two years of careful planning and measurements.^[14] Since the completion of the head and face, much of the monument’s sculpting work has been dedicated to the much larger horse portion.^[21][16][17]

Ruth Ziolkowski died on May 21, 2014, at the age of 87.^[22] Monique Ziolkowski became CEO and three of her siblings continued to work on the project, as well as three of the Ziolkowskis’ grandsons, including Caleb, who has gone on to become the “chief mountain officer”.^[23]

Construction since 2014

With Monique Ziolkowski as CEO, work focused on finishing the outstretched left arm of Crazy Horse, in addition to expanding the on-site Indian University of North America,^[24] a joint-venture with Black Hills State University that has offered summer programs for university students of Native American descent since 2011.^[25] 

The Crazy Horse Memorial in 2020

Monique Ziolkowski stepped down as CEO in 2021 to focus on artwork and other aspects of the memorial site,^[26] with the foundation eventually naming Whitney A. Rencountre II, who had held various education-based positions including associate director of the Indian University, as its new CEO in August 2022.^[27]

The memorial celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023.^[28] Crazy Horse’s left hand was finished by 2024, with finishing work commencing in summer 2024 on the backside of his arm to make way for a new tower crane designed to reach all parts of the carving. The crane, with an estimated cost of $5.2 million, was made possible by several anonymous donations and was procured in 2023, with all parts weighing 25,000 pounds (11,000 kg) combined, and was shipped to the mountain on 17 truck beds.^[29]

What is the current status of the Crazy Horse Monument?

As of now, the Crazy Horse Monument remains a work in progress—more than 75 years after construction began in 1948. The face of Crazy Horse was completed and unveiled in 1998, but the rest of the sculpture, including the horse and extended arm, is still under development.

The project is entirely privately funded, which means it relies on admission fees and donations rather than government support. This, combined with the technical challenges of carving into iron-heavy rock and the harsh South Dakota weather, has contributed to the slow pace.

There’s no official timeline for completion, and the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation has emphasized that the monument is as much about the journey and cultural preservation as it is about the final sculpture. If you visit today, you’ll see the completed face, ongoing work on the rest of the figure, and a cultural center that includes a museum and educational exhibits.

The outstretched arm of the Crazy Horse Memorial is intentionally pointing toward the lands of the Lakota people, specifically Pine Ridge, South Dakota. This gesture is deeply symbolic—when asked where his lands were, Crazy Horse is said to have replied, “My lands are where my dead lie buried.”

The sculpture captures that sentiment, with Crazy Horse pointing to his ancestral homeland. It’s a powerful tribute carved into Thunderhead Mountain, and when completed, it will be the largest mountain carving in the world.

Pretty awe-inspiring, don’t you think?

“A Hidden America: Children of the Plains” [Original Air Date 10/14/2011]

Was a White American television documentary about four children who live at Pine Ridge, a Lakota Sioux Indian reservation in south-western South Dakota. The show appeared on ABC as part of “20/20”. It was hosted by Diane Sawyer.

One of the children tried to hang herself at age 11. She drew a picture of it complete with a broken heart. Her mother is being destroyed by drink. Her bedroom is too cold to sleep in. She showed Diane Sawyer all her clothes – on three hangers. She does well at school and wants to become a schoolteacher, teaching children Lakota.

Families: Most parents are absent or hooked on drugs and drink. Most are out of work. Uncles and grandparents try to hold things together. People live in falling-apart, ill-heated houses. In one three-bedroom house there were 19 people.

Schools: lack money and are falling apart too. One school they showed still had asbestos, which causes cancer. What little money they get has to go to books, computers and teachers.

Food: The free food the government sends is not healthy.  Half the people have diabetes. Most Lakota Indians never see 60. For many children their only solid meal is at school. When a Subway sandwich shop opened one women was amazed by the cucumbers: fresh vegetables are that expensive.

Businesses: There are no banks or malls or cinemas. The few businesses there are more regulated than a nuclear power plant.

Liquor stores: Just outside the reservation stand four liquor stores. Together they sell 4 million cans of beer a year. They are owned by outsiders.

The show was excellent:

• Visibility: American television almost never shows Indian reservations – or other poor places in America that are far from Hollywood and New York. In American society Native Americans are out of sight, out of mind.
• Large audience: ABC can easily pull in millions of viewers, unlike PBS or YouTube.
• Material help: The show gave viewers ways to help Pine Ridge – and some have. The show even helped one of the children find his father.

But it was terrible too:

• Teflon history: Near the beginning Diane Sawyer said, “But tonight is not about history.” We are given almost no way to understand what we are seeing, like the drunken men sleeping on sidewalks. Just passing references to broken treaties, boarding schools and such.
• Helpless darkies: You hear little about what the Lakota have been doing and are doing to make things better.
• White gaze: This show was made by and for white people. It would have been ten times better if Diane Sawyer had just walked down the street and let people speak their minds. Or what about segments written and produced by people from Pine Ridge? Where is the Lakota gaze?
• Do not talk to the old people: Except for Diane Sawyer herself, everyone over the age of 30 appears only briefly and almost accidentally. As if Sawyer is not particularly interested in understanding what is going on.

The Plight of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation

Faces a multitude of challenges, including poverty, lack of access to healthcare, education, and healthy food options. As of 2025, South Dakota has the highest Native American poverty rate in the country at 45.18%, with Pine Ridge Reservation residents living in poverty at an estimated 53.75%.

The reservation’s per capita income is just $8,768, and unemployment is as high as 89%, limiting economic mobility and access to basic needs. Residents often struggle with inadequate housing and overcrowded living conditions, and the educational system faces significant challenges, impacting the youth’s access to quality education and hindering long-term opportunities.

Healthcare disparities are severe, with life expectancy on the reservation being the lowest in the United States, at just 52 years for women and 48 years for men. Limited medical facilities and high rates of chronic illness and mental health conditions create a public health crisis that further compounds the effects of poverty.1

 Sheriff Whittaker talks immigration – Search Videos

June 18, 2025 – Daily Advocate

GREENVILLE, OHIO — Sheriff Mark Whittaker spent a recent evening explaining the Darke County Sheriff’s role in immigration. The evening was presented by the Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC) as an educational public service event. It was held at the Radiant Lighthouse Church.

DCRWC President Delores Ely opened the event with a welcome and explanation of the ground rules for the evening. Pastor Hershel Fee gave the prayer and Ben Thaeler, from Representative Warren Davidson’s office, led the Pledge of Allegiance. DCRWC First Vice President Lyn Bliss introduced Sheriff Whittaker.

Whittaker explained that his grandmother was a legal immigrant who came to the United States as a war bride after World War Two. He gave a brief history on immigration in the United States, stating it was of consideration even before the Constitution was adopted. Immigration control is put in place for the safety and well-being of the country’s citizens.

He started the presentation by explaining that immigration is governed by Title 8 of the United States Code, where the process to become a citizen is enumerated. He went further by stating that he and his office are not a formal part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, his office needs to know of the immigration status of county residents in order to keep the peace and protect its residents.

Whittaker stated that he can enforce the federal immigration laws, but his authority is very limited. A person must be in his custody through law infringement before he can check citizenship. If an illegal immigrant is identified, the sheriff’s office then notifies the local ICE office in Cincinnati.

When ICE agents are planning to enter Darke County, Whittaker is informed prior to arrival and upon departure. The Sheriff identified a new program which would be a memorandum of understanding between his office and ICE. This is in early development and has been adopted by very few counties in Ohio.

A better understanding of the rules and requirements are being pursued prior to proceeding. It should be noted this new program has not yet withstood challenges in the court system. There is an ICE agent serving this area. His job is to carry out President Trump’s orders regarding deportation. The second phase of the ICE agent’s responsibility will be to work with employers on employment immigration laws.

Whittaker stated that it is the responsibility of the sheriff’s office to keep criminals off the streets – including criminal illegals. There were eight illegal immigrant detainees in 2024. In 2025 there were six apprehensions of illegal immigrants for traffic incidents and two for sexual assaults.

Questions were taken from the audience following the Sheriff’s presentation.

A question was asked about how an illegal immigrant obtains a driver’s license and a car. Whittaker explained that most of the moving violations involve drivers without licenses and the cars are registered to LLCs.

Employment of illegal immigrants without a social security number was questioned. The Sheriff stated that most have fraudulent documents.

It was asked how long ICE has been in existence. Whittaker explained that immigration concerns are older than our government. ICE is under the Department of Homeland Security. It was previously called Immigration and Naturalization Services.

Another person asked why the process to become a citizen has been shortened. He said that there are quotas set for the number of legal immigrants allowed annually. Whittaker explained that he believes the quota is driven by the need for immigrants, political policies, a person’s attributes, and social acceptance.

Sheriff Whittaker also spoke on the planned demonstration in Greenville on June 14. He said his office worked directly with the Greenville police office and a plan was in place. He stated they are planning for the worst and hoping for the best.

Pepper Wright, a naturalized local citizen and member of the DCRWC, spoke on the efforts required for her to become a United States citizen. She emphatically stated her belief that all immigrants should be required to follow the same legal procedure as she did. After she spoke, the audience gave her a very enthusiastic round of applause.

Just a thought for those who disagree. I think it’s important to note that there isn’t a path towards lawful citizenship that doesn’t take more than a decade. In light of that, why wouldn’t we hold congress accountable to reform our currently outdated & broken system instead of going after people who work, contribute to taxes & just want the opportunity to live in a country where they can support themselves & loved ones safely & with dignity? 

janet44.441w I was an undocumented child and although I was here at only a couple months of age wasn’t able to receive “legal” status until I was in third grade and only because my parents received amnesty in 1986. Seven years is a lengthy bureaucratic process that also costs thousands of dollars. Now if you weren’t lucky to be here before 1986 then the process takes decades if that. The performative theatrics of ice raids to intimidate and instill fear is absolutely dehumanizing. Instagram

It’s not right ~ Heartbreaking.  Let’s stand with humanity.    

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  

Let’s be honest:
Most of us want a solution to immigration that’s safe, fair, and human.

But what do we’ve got?
A broken system, political posturing, and viral videos of raids & reactions that make us feel something—but fix nothing.

Here’s what’s true:
– Most undocumented immigrants aren’t violent criminals.
– Most arrests aren’t about safety—they’re about paperwork.
– ICE does important work.
They have been investigating human trafficking, fighting child exploitation, stopping arms smuggling since 2003.

But when we use them to detain moms and dads with no criminal history while ignoring the bigger policy failures… we’re not making the country safer—we’re making it a spectacle. (To be fair I think that’s the whole point of how this is all going down…)

This isn’t about open borders.
This is about open eyes.

We can care about our country and care about the people trying to make a life here.
We can support enforcement without cheering fear.

There are real solutions:
– Prioritize enforcement on violent threats
– Streamline legal immigration pathways
– Stop turning desperate families into political pawns
– Create a system that’s actually workable—for everyone

That’s not extreme.
That’s just common sense wrapped in compassion.

We don’t need louder arguments.
We need better policies—and better hearts to build them.

Let’s be those people.

 The Day I Became Shannon Knight

April 7th, 2000—I started a new life as Shannon Knight for my safety through the Victims of Crime program. I picked the name Knight so I would always remember that with God, I was never alone. As Ephesians 6:10 says, “Put on the full armor of God.”

From the moment I became Shannon Knight, I had to keep my former name buried. Four years of watching my words in every way became my new way of applying for a job, meeting people. Every job interview, every handshake, every new beginning—I had to pretend the name I carried didn’t feel foreign. I’m a deeply honest woman. Pretending was almost unbearable.

Our name is significant in life—let’s face it—and getting a new identity means changing every document just to live day to day. Signatures felt fake. Everything was harder than I imagined. I couldn’t reference my work experience, my college education, or any references connected to my birth name. My life approach was like a first-timer in the United States. Brand new beginnings became my way of living.

The women I met were kind, but I couldn’t be 100% genuine with them. I couldn’t talk about anything connected to my past—where I went to school, the jobs I had, or even places I’d lived—because any of it could lead to more questions that pointed back to Jennifer. I felt like an imposter, building friendships with no roots of my own.

There were two friends from California who knew the truth, and I stayed in touch with them. I trusted them because they were my roommates before I fled and had witnessed everything. We wrote letters. Their words made me feel connected to the familiar, giving me just enough familiarity of who I used to be. The contact I did have with family was mostly with my mom and sometimes with a few siblings, but none of them knew what had actually happened. 

Years later, my younger brother admitted he thought I had just disappeared—and for lack of a better explanation, believed I must have had a breakdown and walked away from my life. That misunderstanding was so embarrassing and painful. I hadn’t walked away. I had been forced to disappear—for survival.

When you’re someone who craves honesty, hiding the truth becomes a wound all its own, deep in your heart. I wasn’t lying. But I wasn’t whole either. That fracture lived in me. I knew, though, that God never lost track of me. He didn’t need me to explain a thing. He knew exactly why I left. And He never looked away.

The rules were clear: if I returned to California and something happened to me, the Victims of Crime program wouldn’t protect me. I wasn’t banned from going back—I was warned. If I put myself in danger, they’d pull any assistance—rerouting of my mail, counseling, medical care—everything. The full story of what happened to me is on my website—ShannonKnight.com—for anyone who genuinely wants to know. 

But this post isn’t about retelling those details. This is a quiet, firm acknowledgment of the twenty-five year mark. A moment to honor what it meant—and still means—not only to survive and to heal, but to rise. To live with purpose because of adversity. To allow the suffering to mean something greater by becoming hope for someone else walking through their own unthinkable storm. This is why I share. Not to retell all the pain, but to let someone know—they’re not alone. I promise, you can get through. Just hold on to your faith in God.

Making new friends was hard. I tried. I tested the waters. Shared just a sliver. People gossiped. Some didn’t believe me. Others thought I was making it up. The truth unnerved them. It was too much. And so, I shut down.

What they didn’t understand (How could they?) was that even those tiny pieces I shared were monumental for me to say out loud and instead of care, I got curious. Questions. Prodding. It brought the rawness of what I went through rushing back. I felt exposed and vulnerable and I withdrew- stayed in my room at times wondering where I belonged – that was on me, I was the one who was unsure.

It took four years before I could speak a word of what happened to my new friends in Washington—and I had to trust them first. Those friends are family to me to this day. They may not fully realize how much I value their love and support but I hope one day they will feel the magnitude of my gratitude.

Four more years went by before I could return to CA.

When I returned to California, iI was carrying both a name that had saved me and an awkwardness that had cost me the luxury of just being known without complicated explanations. This was not easy to explain to those who were part of my former life—the most familiar part of my life.

Most people who know me today through social media know me because I healed from stage four breast cancer without chemotherapy. While some know what I endured before that diagnosis, many do not. And that experience—the one before cancer—is the reason I became a coach for women today, teaching self-compassion.

In 2010, I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and given only months to live. I was terrified—again. But I was strong. I had already survived so much darkness. I knew God was with me, and with the help of my friends, I healed without chemotherapy in 2011.

Living with a new identity was the hardest thing to endure—and still is today at times. Becoming Shannon Knight was the most brutal part of my story. Not because of the name, but because it was misunderstood. Treated like a lie. When in truth, it was the only way I had to live in peace and feel safe.

The pain from everything I endured is what shaped me into a woman who knows what it means to survive—not because I’m fearless, but because I’ve lived through things most people can’t fathom and still found my way. Courage isn’t something we walk around showing off. It shows up when you’re terrified—you have a choice: either crumble or fight and persevere.

My children—my son and my daughter—are part of this story. But I’ve left them out of this post on purpose.

 They lived it in their own way. Their truth is theirs to tell.

I share mine now not to reopen old wounds—but to reach the woman who thinks she’s too far gone. Too bruised. Too broken. I’m here to say: you are not.

Sharing this story isn’t easy—it takes courage. It brings up every fragile layer I once had to bury. But I believe it holds value. Not because it’s extraordinary, but because it’s familiar to any woman who’s been through her own hell and lived to question her worth, wondering if she’ll make it through and being able to be honest about the pain. It can show someone else that they aren’t walking through trauma alone. That maybe, just maybe, there’s a light at the end of what feels like a tunnel that has been dark for too long.

Self-criticism used to be the voice I heard most. 

It told me worse things than anyone else ever could; that I was too broken to be truly loved or too strange to be accepted—yes, strange. That voice was a liar and it needed to be quieted.

The truth is there is a greater love we all deserve—and it is God’s love. His is the truth, one of compassion. He could find me even when I was hiding. He knew me and saw everything even when I felt invisible. That love—God’s love—never left me, and it taught me about self-compassion.

Healing didn’t come all at once. But I did the work. 

Slowly and sometimes it was a few steps forward—and even more stumbling backward. But I eventually gained meaningful strides in my emotional and spiritual healing. I faced the parts of me that hurt the most head-on. And with faith in God’s perspective of me, I learned self-compassion. I began to see myself the way God sees me—with truth, tenderness, and grace.

Now, as a faith-based life coach for women, I sit across from them in their pain. I listen. I understand. And I tell them, not with platitudes—but with grit, empathy, and transparency:  “I’ve been there.”

This isn’t just my story. It’s the reason I show up—for the woman who needs someone to look her in the eye and say, “You matter. You always have.”

Do You Suffer From Panic, Keeping It Hidden So You Won’t be a Burden?

I nearly held back from writing this because revealing that you sometimes suffer from panic or anxiety can be . But if I’m going through something difficult and sharing it helps even one person who experiences the same thing and helps them feel less alone, then I believe it’s worth it. I want to use any experience I’ve been through that could help someone else get through theirs.

I’m feeling sensitive just writing this.

For ten years, I’ve walked alongside women facing cancer, and I’ve seen some struggle with panic attacks—many who hide them. These attacks feel like someone’s standing over you, threatening your life, leaving you afraid and helpless.

I’ve faced panic most of my life, since 2000 but it hit me hardest in 2010 when I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and was told I had only months to live. That diagnosis, combined with other painful chapters of my life, left emotional scars. Even when years pass, the brain holds on to those wounds, and they can trigger panic and anxiety without warning.

For women with cancer, there’s something so deeply misunderstood: when they get that diagnosis, their life has been threatened. And even after healing, that threat lingers in the mind and body. A cancer diagnosis sends you into a mental battle for survival and many of my clients don’t realize their anxiety attacks are tied to the trauma of that moment in life.

Life can feel peaceful, and then out of nowhere, it’s as if someone pounds on your door delivering a message that says, “You’re in danger.” That bone-chilling terror can feel like a sudden ambush.

No matter the trigger, we need tools. And I want to share something that helps me. When I am overwhelmed I say the Lord’s Prayer out loud. It draws me close to Him and reminds me I’m not alone.

And, for the mind, there is something I share with my coaching clients, and I want to share it with you.

A Simple Exercise for Panic:

When a panic attack hits, your amygdala (your brain’s fear center) leaps into overdrive—even when there’s no real threat. It’s like an overprotective guard dog reacting to a sound it thinks is danger. It floods you with adrenaline. Your heart races. Your breath shortens. You feel trapped.

Here’s how I calm that overprotective part of my brain. 

Say everything out loud:

1. Name what you feel:

“I feel afraid.”

“I feel like I’m going to die.”

“I feel like I’m out of control.”

Saying it out loud activates the thinking part of your brain—the part that can help you calm the panic.

2. Name three things you see around you:

“Lamp.”

“Chair.”

“Notebook.”

This grounds you in the present. It tells your brain: you are safe right now.

3. Repeat these steps until you feel safe again.

You might need to do this multiple times. That’s okay. Your brain needs proof that everything is okay. Each repetition helps your nervous system settle.

Share this exercise with someone you trust. Let them be your support. My husband Michael is mine. If I am going through an anxiety attack he’ll remind me of what I need to do. It’s tricky while you are having the panic because it can make you forget. So we need someone who can guide us back when fear takes over.

If you’re someone who feels you need to stay strong, and asking for help makes you worry that you’ll be a burden—you won’t. I reached out to someone today. I was vulnerable and said what I needed. I got help. It’s humbling too but it’s human too.

This exercise is yours now and I have many more but you can carry it with you. Practice it. And know that when panic comes—you are not alone. For me the attacks have become further apart and I know healing is happening because I am with a spouse who shares my faith and is very safe and kind to me.

I hope this helps someone, with all my love,

God is in all the details of your life ✝️✨

https://www.cmn alternative cancer treatment.com/

This is Dr. Payan and Dr. Campa who have known each other since they were kids and are still working together treating patients at CMN Hospital in San Luis Rio Colorado MX. 

Dr. Payan treated me successfully with alternative cancer treatment for stage four breast cancer in 2011 February.  I have never had a recurrence since then and I’ve never had to use chemotherapy since my diagnosis in 2006.   What a blessing that was for me.

Shannon Knight is at CMN Advanced Cancer Treatment.

July 11, 2024  ·   · 

Imagine being told you have only months to live. 

In 2010, I found myself in that exact situation, diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. UCLA informed me that I was too sick for chemo, and that surgery and radiation had failed. They had no further options and advised me to get my affairs in order. I was devastated, heartbroken, and terrified, but I wasn’t ready to give up.

With the help of my friends, we managed to raise money for alternative treatments. This unexpected journey led me to Dr. Payan at CMN Hospital, where my life was saved using treatments I never knew existed. By 2011, I was completely healed. The gratitude and appreciation I feel are beyond words.

I know that unless you’ve been through something like this, it can be difficult to understand the depth of what I experience daily. Every day feels like a precious gift, and I no longer take anything for granted. My perspective on life has changed dramatically. I used to worry so much about minor things that never even happened. Now, I see just how small those worries were in the bigger picture.

Understanding the Five Stages of Grief

Denial is one of the five stages of a cancer diagnosis. 

My loved ones thought I was in denial when I refused to quit, but I knew I had to keep fighting. I had to believe in a different outcome.

Anyone who has had their life saved will feel a deep sense of love and appreciation for the person who helped them. Dr. Payan from CMN Hospital deserves all the praise for his incredible dedication, genuine professionalism, and kind heart.

I know my experience with Dr. Payan and CMN Hospital has shaped my views. It’s like having a trusted friend who stood by you during the hardest time of your life. Naturally, I hold them in the highest regard. However, I understand that cancer is deeply personal for each of us, and what worked for me may not be the answer for someone else. If I ever face cancer again, I would return to him without hesitation, knowing I can trust him with my life.

People often reach out to me with questions. 

Now, I’d like to gently ask you to consider a few thoughts:

Can you imagine the feeling of having a doctor save your life against all odds? Finding a doctor who gives you not just months or years, but over a decade more to live—how would that change your outlook on life?

Can you picture the gratitude I feel? I am deeply thankful and blessed. Dr. Payan’s intervention was nothing short of a miracle, and I will always hold a deep appreciation for him and God because I prayed hard for an answer besides just giving up.

If someone asked if Dr. Payan was trustworthy, what do you think I would say?

 I would happily vouch for him, sharing my personal experience of how he saved my life and expressing my strong trust in his expertise and dedication.

How fair do you feel it is to ask me what you should do to save your life or to heal? While I can share my perspective and support, it’s important to understand that each person’s situation is unique. What worked for me might not work for others, and it’s crucial to seek personalized medical advice.

Would you trust a doctor who promises to save your life with any type of cancer treatment? No doctor can guarantee a cure. Being honest about the potential outcomes and the limitations of treatments is essential.

How much of a role in the decision-making process, do you think fear contributes? Fear plays a significant role. Speaking with someone who has faced a similar situation can provide comfort, understanding, and valuable insights but that is all. You have to have your own faith, trust your intuition and research.

Do you think it’s important to be cautious of anyone who guarantees 100% success with any doctor or treatment? Yes, it’s important to have realistic expectations. While I highly recommend CMN Hospital and Dr. Payan’s team based on my positive experience, remember that no one can promise a cure.

If I ever got cancer again do you think I would trust Dr. Payan again to help me heal? Absolutely, I would trust him again. My past experience has built a strong foundation of trust in his abilities and care.

Do you think that I am the only one Dr. Payan healed or that others are not so open with their story of cancer, especially breast cancer? No, I am not the only one. Dr. Payan has helped many others, each with their own incredible stories of healing and recovery.

Overcoming stage 4 cancer felt like a miracle, especially back in 2010. 

When I was diagnosed, the prognosis was grim. Stage 4 means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, and survival rates are often low. Many people are given only months to live and are told there are no more options. But here I am, years later, sharing my story of hope and gratitude. Cancer runs rampant in my family, yet Dr. Payan’s treatments helped me achieve complete healing by August 2011, with minimal side effects.

It’s important to make decisions that feel right “for you.” Trust yourself, seek guidance, pray and know that you’re not alone—many of us stand at similar crossroads, making difficult choices.

When it comes to learning about CMN Hospital and their treatments, visiting their website and spending time learning about their treatments can be helpful. It gave me a clearer understanding of their approach and reassured me during a challenging time. Dr. Payan truly understands how personal and important these decisions are and will support you without any pressure. It’s important to make the choices that feel best for you and to trust yourself. People will have their opinions and good intentions but ultimately they do not have to live with the result of the decision you make, you are.

New Video Shows Trump’s Head In Crosshairs; How Slight Head Tilt Saved Life: Report | US Election

Trump in the Crosshairs? Murder in Butler PA

Investigates and exposes the lies and fraud involved – revealing Trump as an agent of the Deep State — not a victim. Video shows that the alleged “shooter” could not possibly have fired a shot at the rally, where one person was killed and 2 others wounded. More mainstream evidence shows the location and identity of the true snipers.

Little-seen photos show that Trump’s ear did not have a scratch, 2 weeks after the shooting. His blood and fist pumping “heroics” were all choreography and fraud, WWE-style. Obvious when you’re looking for it. Most importantly, the video details Trump’s unexplained devotion to Israel, and his commitment to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. PLEASE SHARE!!!

Thank you, Jesus Christ, for appointing such a man as Trump for times like this .

Perhaps these organizations and groups should be dismantled. Get rid of them, start jailing them and charging them. The deep state hasn’t gone anywhere. The global deep state is still plotting mad events and pulling the strings

Their last ditch effort in my opinion it’s a detonate a massive bomb. Everybody needs to stay on alert. It’s called Civil War’s crap. Can’t trust the CIA, they have no accountability.

I have Been telling people this for 20+ years now.. At one point in my Youth and Early Adulthood. I was a full and Active member of the AFA ( Anti-Fascist-Action) the mother and Precursor of Modern Day ANTIFA bowel Movements and other racially motivated hate groups. Back when the AFA’s goal was to create peace order and stability in Our communities and Globally.. We Were Typically a non Violent Group of Individuals and free thinkers. 

Using Free Speech and Alternative Non-Violent Means to Create and Spread Peace and Prosperity.. unfortunately Some Affiliated Members over the years have subverted from that Original Message of peace and unity to a more violent superiority complex and brutalist way of living and Thinking.. before the Complete Infiltration by Far Left extremism, uneducated Neo Marxist communist and Pre-indoctrinated liberalism and the hoards of Cancel Culture Nazis. 

All this was achieved through mental subjectivity:

Fear, weakness and manipulating people to Think They Are a victim of some unimaginable evil and injustice… an Illusion of Evil and fear That dictates their every action and existence… cognitively and systematically brainwashed to think and believe based on Personal Opinions and beliefs, Not Facts and Reality… I was There when This Switch Happened.

It Switched from fighting Fascist and fascism and turned into to strategic planning and plotting violence against my fellow citizens and my own country’s people from Various very dangerous and wealthy sources within our own Federal Government and American Institutions…. It’s for me was never About Killing Innocent People or diverting Facts to pander and placate the people… I was a Man trying to save my country and my World from the Evils and Atrocities that were and continue to happen at the hands these Terrorists and paid propaganda patsy’s.

ANTIFA IS A FAR LEFT DOMESTIC TERRORIST CULT …

Thanks to Donald Trump, and Musk’s DOGE cuts, an additional death is now estimated to be happening somewhere in the world every three minutes. As Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, inserts himself at the White House – being congratulated by President Trump for his work slashing the federal budget, and USAID funding, the number of deaths on the tracker hit 300,000, more than 200,000 of them children.

The “optics” of the world’s richest man taking from its poorest and getting thanked for it are horrifying . Maybe this is a good time to remind people that he stopped paying into Social Security at 12:15 AM on January 1. And let’s not forget that those will cost Americans more than it will save – and if you voted for this, or you didn’t vote at all, shame on you.

Like School Shootings, Political Violence Is Becoming Almost Routine
Threats and violent acts have become part of the political landscape, still shocking but somehow not so surprising. Thanks to MAGA…. In the past three months alone, a man set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s residence while Mr. Shapiro and his family were asleep inside; another man gunned down a pair of workers from the Israeli Embassy outside an event in Washington; protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colo., were set on fire; and the Republican Party headquarters in New Mexico and a Tesla dealership near Albuquerque were firebombed. 

Over the past five days — in which a senator was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed for trying to ask a question of a cabinet secretary at a news conference — a governor was threatened with arrest by the president and with being “tarred and feathered” by the speaker of the House. 

And as tanks prepared to roll down Constitution Avenue in Washington in a political display of firepower, the president warned that any protesters there would be met with “heavy force.”Political violence has been part of the American story since the founding of the country, often erupting in periods of great change. Four presidents have been killed in office, and another was shot and seriously wounded. Members of Congress have been involved in dozens of brawls, duels and other violent incidents over the centuries.

WATCH: The Real Story Of Jan 6 it’s shocking.

However, things have recently gone downhill- Since his 2016 candidacy, he has signaled at least his tacit approval of violence against his political opponents. He encouraged attendees at his rallies to “knock the hell” out of protesters, praised a lawmaker who body-slammed a reporter and defended the rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, who clamored to “hang Mike Pence.” One of his first acts in his second term as president was to pardon those rioters. This is the MAGA way…peaceful protests around the country yesterday proved that.   Jan. 6, Three Years Later: 10 Documentaries to Watch | FRONTLINE

More than 2,000 “No Kings” rallies were held across the country on Saturday –– drawing large crowds to the streets to protest what organizers call “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.” The nationwide rallies, many pre-planned and authorized, were described by law enforcement as largely peaceful, apart from a few incidents.

These demonstrations come after a week of protests against ICE raids in communities with large immigrant populations. They also coincided with Trump’s military parade in Washington, DC. Americans are done with Donald Trump.

Some say Trump pardoned January 6ers who harmed and killed law enforcement, welcomed sex traffickers to the USA, pardoned drug traffickers and fraudsters who

stole millions from people who worked for him.

Why are most school shootings in blue cities – Search

That’s an important and deeply emotional question, and it touches on multiple layers—social, political, and geographic. The perception that most school shootings happen in “blue cities” may stem from a few overlapping factors:

1. Population density: Urban areas—many of which vote Democratic—naturally have more schools and students. More people can mean more incidents simply because of scale.
2. Media coverage: High-profile shootings in cities often receive intense media attention, which may skew public perception. Shootings in rural or conservative areas can be just as devastating but might not get national coverage.
3. Access and proximity: Cities may have faster police response times and better infrastructure, which also means quicker reporting and documentation, adding to the visibility of these events.
4. Data interpretation: Many school shootings involve different types of incidents—some are targeted attacks, others include fights or gang-related violence near schools. The phrase “school shooting” can include a wide range of events, not all of which match the same profile.

It’s also worth noting that school violence is a national issue—it cuts across political lines. Mental health resources, community support, gun laws, and school security policies all play roles, and those differ not just by city politics, but by state and region too.

MAGA DOESN’T set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s residence while Mr. Shapiro and his family were asleep inside; another man gunned down a pair of workers from the Israeli Embassy outside an event in Washington; while protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colo., were set on fire; and the Republican Party headquarters in New Mexico and a Tesla dealership near Albuquerque were firebombed.

Has he paid back any money he was sued for and then tried to hide? Opinions aren’t facts; his opinion was poorly told, and you should pay those families. Here’s a thought. How about a heartfelt apology or acknowledging you were wrong? That would make America great again. Culpability Conspiracy theories are what you put in place of an actual life. But since you like conspiracy theories, here’s an oldie but a goodie. Maybe he and Trump are eating the cats and dogs. They’re eating something that’s made them look more well-fed than the average American. Oh, I might need to retract that, making up nonsense. 

You know it is not true, but saying it anyway was mildly amusing!!!

Congress is considering the “No Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities Act,” This Bill Would Slash City and State Funding for Not Facilitating Mass Deportations – NILC a bill that would plunge cities and states into utter chaos by stripping wide swaths of federal fundings from communities, leaving individuals and families without access to school lunches, emergency Medicaid, and food assistance programs.

Despite arguments to the contrary from the Trump administration and congressional Republicans, state and local policies that welcome immigrants make our communities safer, healthier, and more prosperous. They are also legal, sound, and protected by the 10th Amendment. Any attempt to threaten or intimidate local elected officials into ceding their power to follow orders from the Oval Office is an attack on local communities.

 Against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s increasingly fascist immigration policies, including deporting illegal immigrants to El Salvador and a program offering migrants a $1,000 “self-deportation” stipend, the administration has entered into a deal with a dreaded narco terrorist. 

The Trump administration secretly arranged for nearly 20 relatives of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán to enter the United States under an undisclosed agreement with his son, Ovidio Guzmán López. The secretive pact, which is opposite to what Trump has been showcasing, proves the start of a disturbing trend where terror fountainheads can buy their way into the US. 

This Bill Would Slash City and State Funding for Not Facilitating Mass Deportations – NILC

During this turmoil, the family members of Cartel kingpin “El Chapo” were granted entry into the United States under a secretive agreement between the Trump administration and El Chapo‘s son, Ovidio Guzmán López. 

The Sinaloa Cartel is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US government, and Trump’s agreement with them has sparked an international outrage around the world. The Mexican government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, expressed surprise and concern over the lack of transparency surrounding the deal. 

Sheinbaum criticized the US for negotiating with individuals associated with a designated terrorist organization, stating, “They have said they do not negotiate with terrorists.” She demanded respect and coordination, emphasizing that unilateral decisions by the Trump administration affect Mexico’s sovereignty. 

It is suspected that the family purchased their way in with Trump bitcoin purchases … which would be a surprise except we know that Donald Trump and his family have made a profit of $1 billion every month he’s been in office.
He said he wants his ppl like North Korea.. idk if that’s saving america.. stealing money from the poor and hungry and giving it to a billionaire doesn’t benefit america much 

How did they do it? Not enough details

WTF did all that even mean??

Well that’s believable 

Donald Trump has spent so much taxpayer money on:
�� – A parade for his birthday
�� – Playing Golf
�� – Going to NASCAR
�� – Going to the Super Bowl
�� – Going to boxing matches
That we could cover housing and medical care for every single homeless veteran in the United States for a year. And he’s only been in the office for 4 1/2 months.

 LIVE: Army’s 250th Anniversary parade in Washington, D.C.

What a load of hooey. The protests went on as planned and nobody staged a coup. And no Global Military Alliance and Bricd preemptive strike took place on June 10.

 U.S. States That Would Succeed As Independent Countries – Search

In this video, I explore the idea of certain US states potentially becoming independent nations. Highlighting New York, New England, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and California, I explore their size, population, and economic viability as key factors. Each state boasts unique cultural identities and economic strengths that could sustain them independently. New York’s diverse population and robust economy, including its financial sector, present potential for international success.

Similarly, Florida’s tourism and strategic location offer prospects. California’s innovation and Texas’s energy reserves could bolster their global standing, drawing on historical independence. Additionally, New England states share cultural ties and economic synergy, hinting at potential union upon independence. Speculative yet thought-provoking, envisioning these states as independent entities prompts discussions on their potential successes and challenges.
