It should be noted that felines, much like small humans, have no concept whatsoever of the twice-yearly torture that is Daylight Savings Time. Neither respects the fact that the large humans who feed them is trying to combat the loss of a precious hour of sleep nor do they wish to adjust their body clocks to go to bed at the appropriate time on the clock either.

So, this missive comes to you today through bleary eyes after my cat spent thirty minutes parkouring off me, insistent on rousing me while I tried to sleep just a little bit more. I finally got up and locked her out of the room, after which she flung herself at my door, meow-sobbing piteously.

I have a feeling today may require extra coffee for many of us...

I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the scene in Washington, DC, yesterday.

Pro-Palestine protesters marched on the nation's capital, demanding a ceasefire. I've seen different numbers - anywhere from 100,000 people to 300,000 people filled the streets of Washington, DC.

Historic monuments were vandalized. Anti-Jewish and anti-Israel graffiti was spray-painted on buildings. The very gate to the White House was vandalized, the pillars holding it up covered with red handprints.

But that wasn't the thing that struck at my heart the most.

People literally had Hezbollah flags right in front of the White House, waving them without shame. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization from Iran with an absolutely brutal human rights track record. People were climbing up the gates of the White House, waving foreign flags. The chants were "F*** Joe Biden," "Death to Israel," and "Ahallu Akbar." They screamed at the Secret Service officers, "Die!"

You can watch some video footage that was captured here. (This isn't kid-friendly - there's a lot of swearing.)

But don't be alarmed. Our President wasn't there. He was in Delaware, vacationing safely away from the anger of these people. And our VP Kamala Harris wants to make sure that we're not Islamaphobic - this video she made is an absolute slap in the face to Jewish Americans.

Meanwhile, in most of the mainstream media, there was little mention of this event. Here's some of the coverage that was found. It's mostly conservative media. Zero Hedge also covered it, but most of it was on X (formerly Twitter.)

Imagine for a moment that conservatives were climbing the White House fence. Or someone with Confederate flags. Do you think there'd be a media blackout? Do you think that police would be breaking it up with tear gas and billy clubs? Recent history suggests that the response would've been entirely different. Just ask the folks who were hunted down for the events of January 6th.

I guess consistency across political lines is too much to ask.

Much like the destructive BLM riots and demands took away sympathy for George Floyd and other Black Americans killed in altercations with police, these kinds of events are prompting me to take sides - and it's not the side they wish. I've always had sympathy and compassion for the Palestinian people, but it's certainly not being increased by these actions. These people are propagating hate.

I stand with the Jewish Americans who are in literal fear for their lives right now. They're watching a massive spike in antisemitism all over the world.

In the 1930s-40s, people stood by and watched it happen. We are seeing demands for the death of Jews right now. We cannot allow our country to be a place where it's no longer safe to be Jewish. I'm shocked by how fast this has unfolded.

It has to stop.

Are you concerned about the possibility of a nuclear strike or a dirty bomb? Contrary to popular belief, if you aren’t at Ground Zero, this is imminently survivable and it isn’t going to turn the entire country into a nuclear winter wasteland.

However, you need to be prepared with information. You have to know what to do to survive unscathed. Protecting yourself and your family is of the utmost importance to your long-term health.

That’s why we produced this on-demand webinar. Join me as I talk with SFC Retired Chuck Hudson, a former NBC specialist in the US Army, and learn what to do to take care of the ones you love.

Don't put this off - it could be more important than any other prep.
