Animal Crackers

Occasionally I put together some posts made up of small stories that are linked by theme and that I dont want to build into larger posts on their own ..... 

Animal Selfies Come In Many Forms

....starting with Dumb and Dumber

Fine Of The Beast And The Wicked Burger

In 2017, Jason Mortimore from Exeter, England, was fined £666 (yes really, the fine of the beast), for throwing his Jehovah's Witness wife Rachael's Bible, and her other religious documents into a lit garden burner in November 2016 ... (he was lucky that wasn't another religions holy book). 

The Watch Tower Magazine

For good measure he had also hit her earlier in the face, three times with a magazine (title not known ... but possibly The Watch Tower). 

The Patriot (Nearly)

Being an American Patriot means different things at different times .......

Paul Revere Didn't Ride Alone - William Dawes
 and Samuel Prescott Accompanied Him.

... so during the American Revolution or 'Treasonous Revolt' as we would call it .... (just kidding folks) ... people such as Paul Revere, would be described as a typical patriot.

Dial G For God

Pastor Paul Sanyangore, of the Victory World International Ministries of Zimbabwe, has a congregation of around 5,000 ..... plus one. 

God On The Line?

That one is a very important one, God himself, who Pastor Paul can apparently call on his cell phone. This was witnessed on his churches website, where a video has him talking into his phone saying "Hello, is this heaven?".

Backdoor Censorship

 This week I came across my first sign that adults in the UK are to be censored ...

Age Verification Censoring.

... the reason for this censorship? Because feckless parents in the UK won't put adult content blockers on their kids mobiles and laptops etc.

What A Drag

When the UK passed the Sexual Offences Act 1967 (making same sex acts legal over the age of 21 .... now age 16), on the 21st of July 1967 (the USA had similar law changes from 1961 onwards, starting in Illinois) .....

Governor Bill Lee's Year Book

..... it wasn't intended that this would lead to the nonsense about transgender 'identity rights' that the West is now embroiled in.

Ruining Rioters

Whilst he was Mayor of London, Boris Johnson bought some water cannons from Germany for £320,000.

Too Cold For You Mate?

They were never used, and were sold at a loss by current mayor, Sadiq Khan, for £11,025 to Nottinghamshire-based Reclamations (Ollerton) Ltd, who will dismantle them and export the parts.

A Man With A Plan

Donald Trump may, or may not, prove to be a good or bad president from a US perspective ....

Trump Policies Can Take Any Direction

 .... But he's definitely a man with a mission, as he knows he only really has 2 years before he's a lame duck 2nd term president.

Refugees For-evermore

 At what point do "refugees" stop being refugees? 

Jewish Refugees In Yemen, Nov 1949

..... after 10 years? 20 years? 40 years? Inherited refugee status forever and eternally?

He Must Have Been Legless

Kevion Hooks was arrested for an armed robbery in September 2021 in Tulsa Oklahoma, in which he took a prosthetic leg from the victim. 

Kevion Hooks False Leg Hat
Disguise, Didn't Fool The Police

The victim said that Hooks approached him with a large metal spike, took his backpacks, and his prosthetic leg. He said Hooks them asked him how much the items were worth and waived around the spike in his face.

The Devils Brood

Shlomo Erez Helbrans (b. Erez Shlomo Elbarnes), was a Jewish religious fanatic, and anti-zionist, aka Jewish ethnonationalism, on religious grounds ....

Evil Bastard

He founded his own cult, Lev Tahor, to propagate his own form of Judaism ... much like the James 'Jim' Jones did with his Peoples Temple cult in the 1970's.

Only Time And Fate Will Tell

Last week a (rare) commenter, pointed out that Donald Trump has really doubled down on his claims on and about Canada, Mexico, China and Greenland.

Trump Has A Gaza Plan

My reply was "I guess that Trump and his supporters would point out that he's been successful so far, with Mexico and Canada (and some extent Denmark/Greenland) all negotiating with him now. China has restricted its retaliation to lower tariffs than Trump has imposed .... so winner winner chicken dinner!!"
