"If the LORD had not been on our side
let Israel now declare,
if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,
when their anger flared against us
then they would have swallowed us alive,
then the floods would have engulfed us,
then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
then the raging waters
would have swept us away.
Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;
the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth."
(Psalm 124)

Just two weeks ago, Saturday March 28, 2026 more than 8 million people across
America attended what has come to be known as "No Kings" rallies, which oppose
the policies of the Trump Administration, including the current war with Iran,
the rising cost of daily living, but especially, these protests seem to be aimed at
the policies of ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the eviction
of illegal immigrants from our country. Which leads me to the point of this post.
While most of those attending "No Kings" rallies demonstrated peacefully,
there were people attending some of these events who were carrying
flags in support of the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah.
The protest above, although according to the date it was posted on You Tube
was held before the nationwide "No Kings" protests, is a perfect example
of why we need special law enforcement like ICE.
The masked leader declares to his listeners, "Until we have done everything in
our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy."
Who are 'we'? And who is 'the enemy' he is talking about?
He later tells the man filming the protest, a conservative activist named
Frankie Scales: "May a Hamas rocket blow up your family home."
Although in America we have the right to freedom of speech and expression,
where do we draw the line between the right to speak one's mind and an
act of sedition? An online definition of the word states:
"Sedition is overt conduct-such as speech, writing, or organization that incites
rebellion, insurrection, or violent resistance against established government authority."
While it differs from treason, it contains actions with the intent to cause disorder,
subversion, or abuse of the Constitution, and the promotion of violence
or illegal action against the state...
"Until we have done everything in our power to bring the
United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy."
Sounds like a declaration of sedition to me.
"May a Hamas rocket blow up your family home." -a promotion of violence?
The young Masked Coward, obviously a self-appointed mouthpiece for the
sworn enemies of America, is himself treading on so-called enemy turf and
therefore, will find himself woefully outnumbered by law-abiding and
respectful American citizens, who, although they might be angry over
rising prices and against American boots on the ground in the Middle East,
understand the difference between freedom of speech and the abuse thereof,
which seems to be the order of the day as we approach our 250th birthday
as a nation. These people are mainly independent thinkers; they are
not out to draw attention to themselves by bellowing before a crowd
of listeners on a street corner. While they might not show up at protests
either, these are the same folks who show up year after year to attend
parades held on Memorial Day in order to remember and to honor our
fallen soldiers and veterans; American heroes who bravely served
and fought to defend this country in order to protect and maintain
the freedom which we all hold dear-and take for granted.
"For every US soldier that returns home in a casket we cheer!"
It was these honorable men, despicable Masked Coward, who provided
you with the right (if you are indeed a legal American citizen) to speak
your mind as you stand on the sidewalk in the City of Brotherly Love,
the home of the Liberty Bell, and, where our glorious Constitution was
painstakingly drafted in the summer of 1787; but does this give you the
right to publicly deride these American heroes, while spewing a threat
of harm against a fellow citizen for merely trying to ask you a question?
Certainly not!
Which brings to mind something else. A day some 25 years ago- a
bright, beautiful, coming-of-fall morning- when the complacency in
thinking that America was safe from enemies outside our borders
was shattered forever- after a passel of murderous cowards
slammed airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
killing thousands of American citizens, while a third plane later crashed
in western Pennsylvania; but not before a brave attempt was made by
the passengers to gain control over the hijackers, ordinary American
citizens who charged the cockpit with the order, "Let's Roll!"
You, Masked Coward, probably do not remember that day. You were
either very young or perhaps not even born yet. But I remember that
day very well. I will never forget it. And neither will thousands
of Americans who will always remember where they were
on the terrible morning of September 11, 2001.
I also cannot forget what happened as a result of that day which
changed America forever. Regardless of male or female, skin
color or ethnicity, liberal or conservative politics, religion, educational
background, social status, etc.- all the differences (and discord) that
seemed to matter so much in our nation- suddenly did not matter at all.
We the People stood together in our collective shock and sorrow, and,
in righteous anger, at those who, unprovoked and without warning,
had cruelly attacked our nation. On that day we were all Americans.
Although our nation and people seem to be divided more than ever before,
the time is now for us to stand together against our common enemies,
regardless of politics or religion or social status. We need to remind ourselves
that freedom is not free and to guard our liberty, which came with so dear a price.
We also need to listen-painful as it might be- very carefully to the demagoguery
of this Masked Coward on the street corner, who, although profoundly ignorant of
what it has cost to remain a free and independent people, has positioned himself
to take advantage of the hostile political and social climate within this land today,
and by his own admission, seeks to "bring the U.S. to its knees"
in submission, to those determine to destroy us.
"In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man
coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days
and was led into His presence.
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation
and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that
will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed."
(Daniel 7:13-14 )
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to Me."

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
