CRAZY:
A woman wanted to get a loan at a bank in Rio de Janeiro using a dead man.

She wheeled the deceased man, Paulo Roberto Braga, 68, into the bank then tried to sign the loan documents with his hand. She was talking to Mr. Braga’s corpse and holding his head up the entire time.


Bank staff, noticing the man's ‘pale’ and poor condition, questioned the legitimacy of the entire situation.

The woman, Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes, claimed to be Mr. Braga's niece and caretaker, and was arrested.

The cause of Mr. Braga's death is still unknown and is pending the results of a post-mortem examination.

"We have neither taken foreign land nor seized foreign property, but only the inheritance of our fathers, which at one time had been unjustly taken by our enemies. Now that we have the opportunity, we are firmly holding the inheritance of our fathers."

These are the words of Simon Maccabeus, a Jewish leader to the Greek foreign regime in the land of Israel at the 2nd century BC as recorded in the first book of the Maccabees - an apocryphal work recounting the victories of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 164 BC.

Over 700 years before the birth of Islam!

I don’t think anyone understands how insane this week’s Iranian attack on Israel was.

Like, I’m not sure when the last time we saw such an unbelievable military defense operation, if ever.

First of all, the countries that attacked Israel that night:

- Iran
- Syria
- Lebanon
- Iraq
- Yemen


At 1:42 AM, over 100 ground to ground missiles from Iran approached Israel’s airspace.

Simultaneously, drones and ballistic missiles were fired from Yemen, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

Tens of Israel fighter jets were scrambled. Those jets included F15, F16, and F35.

The Israeli planes flew deep into the airspace of the Middle East and began hunting the missiles and drones, detonating them one after the other.


In parallel, fighter jets from the U.S. and UK, along with other countries also took off and began to “hunt” the missiles.


The missiles and drones that survived the fighter jet attacks approached Israeli airspace and were immediately taken out by Israel’s defense systems including the Hetz (arrow) 2, Hetz 3, and more.

99% success with the 1% causing minimal damage/injuries/casualties.


This operation will go down in history as one of the greats.

Some people are concerned with how long this war is taking and are reaching the very incorrect conclusion that the IDF of today is not the same IDF as the one that won all the wars since Israel was established.


The IDF is stronger than ever. The war Israel is fighting in Gaza is unprecedented in its complexity given the urban nature of the battlefield, combined with the ruthlessness of Hamas that has zero concern for human life, Israeli or Palestinian.

On April 14th, 2024, the IDF showed the world what it’s capable of and without firing a single shot of any kind, it demonstrated how it was able to defeat the enemy and put them to shame.

What Israel will do next is yet to be seen, but the Iranian regime was utterly humiliated that night, and to top that off, they are now waiting in fear to see how badly the IDF punishes them for thinking they can mess with the Jews


No matter what Israel does or does not do, the Iranian regime will forever be remembered for THE MASSIVE MILITARY HUMILIATION of April 14th, 2024.

Moral of the story:
Don’t confuse Israel’s reluctance to go on the offense as some kind of weakness. Israel remains committed to the safety and security of its citizens. That is its only mission and that is why Israel has never started any war.

But guess what else the IDF has never done… Lost a war. This one will, please God, be no different.

Don’t mess with the Jews!

Election shenanigans?

The State of Texas has had an extremely high number of people registering to vote according to US Government data. In March alone over 500,000 people registered, more than every other state in the country combined.

Texas had more voters register in March than California had the entire year so far. Other states with unusually high numbers include PA, MO, and Michigan.

What is going on?

Let’s include in our attack on Iran the elimination of the head of their morality police who has been torturing Iranian women for years; A move that will embarrass the Revolutionary Guards and earn us fans in Iran and the world.

Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by Uprightness100(m): 10:12am On Apr 18
The Israeli society's inability to delay satisfactions is a threat to the national security of the State of Israel, to the point of existential danger in the long term. "Peace now", "deal now", and all the variations of that childish mantra are always wrapped in a so-called moral and strategic rationalization, but their true purpose is one: to give up, because it's hard for us.

ISRAEL'S most important weapon in this war is not an F35, an arrow or a chariot - it is patience. Our enemy has inexhaustible stockpiles of weapons: he sits in Tehran or Beirut, looks at the map and the calendar and says to himself: "Our project is making great progress - we started only about 1,400 years ago, as a small spot on the Arabian Peninsula, and today we only have this last little dot on the map of the entire Middle East to get rid of it."

Faced with this determination of the enemy, there are parts of the Israeli society that are unable to stand, but they are a minority. They may be the majority in the media and the majority in the demonstrations, but they are not the majority of the people. Even on the left, many do not share this defeatism, understand exactly what we are facing and fight bravely and with determination.

There will be an attack in Iran, there will be a maneuver into Rafah, there will be a resurgence of Israeli thriving life in the south and the north, but it depends on one thing: patience, or the small dot on the map of the Middle East will disappear. And since the majority of the people understand this perfectly, the people will also have another thing: TOTAL victory.


(Tamir Morag on X)

And I will add this:
We have the God of Israel as our secret weapon!
He is in full control and what the people of ISRAEL need to do is to turn to Him!
