Sure glad a Muslim didn't do this.

We'd never hear the end of it. 

Al Jazeera:  Outrage after photo shows Israeli soldier smashing Jesus statue in Lebanon.

Ahmad Tibi, another Palestinian member of the Knesset, wrote on Facebook that those who blow up mosques and churches in Gaza and spit on Christian clergy in Jerusalem without punishment are not afraid to destroy a statue of Jesus Christ and publish it.

“Perhaps these racists have also learned from Donald Trump to insult Jesus Christ and insult Pope Leo?” he asked[.]

Al Jazeera:  Outcry grows over Israeli soldier smashing Jesus statue in Lebanon. 

[...] Glenn Greenwald mocked how Christian Zionists may defend Israel over smashing the statue.

“Christian Zionists: This Israeli soldier was absolutely justified in smashing the head of the Jesus Christ statue because Hezbollah and Hamas were hiding inside. We owe him our gratitude,” Greenwald wrote on X.

The anger echoed growing scepticism [sic] of the close alliance with Israel in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) constituency. 

CBS News: Netanyahu says Israeli soldier pictured hitting Jesus statue in Lebanon will face "harsh disciplinary action."

Despite what Bo Bo says, nothing will happen RE reprimanding the soldier. Bo Bo's nation provides safehaven for pe*ophiles.  What makes anyone think a cowardly so-called soldier smashing a statue of Jesus Christ will face disciplinary consequences?

Any rabbis out there condemning this? Any of the many jewish orgs denouncing this? Any Conservative Christian or Jewish bloggers or other traditional social media platforms even writing about this? Not anywhere I could find. Not even on the non-traditional platforms (teh Chans, Kuhn, others). They're still busy barking at Pope Leo because he replied to Trump's unprovoked rage on his stupid Truth Soooooooooooooshhhhhuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllll. Derp Derp.

AI Jesus is tired of Trump BS.

RT: Jesus slaps Trump in AI clip shared by Iran (VIDEO). 

The jab comes amid the backlash over a controversial social media post by the US president.

An Iranian embassy has shared an AI-generated video depicting Jesus casting Donald Trump into hell, following backlash over a social media post in which the US president appeared to portray himself as a Christ-like healer.

Trump posted the image on Truth Social on Sunday but deleted it the following day after a wave of criticism, saying he had not recognized its religious implications.

[.]

On Tuesday, the Iranian embassy in Tajikistan posted a clip that opens with the image that Trump had posted. The glow coming from his hands quickly fades as Jesus descends from heaven, slaps him across the face, and sends him tumbling into a fiery abyss.

Trump, serial liar that he is, initially claimed he didn't know anything about the original "Trump As Jesus" meme posted on his Truth Social Media, instead blaming a staffer. Now we learn that Trump DID know and discussed it prior to publishing.  

Axios: Trump discussed "Jesus" meme with Bill Pulte before posting it, sources say.

Before President Trump posted an image of him as a Christ-like healer, he discussed the meme with his controversial housing finance chief Bill Pulte, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Trump's Truth Social post Sunday night drew such a fierce backlash from Christians that he pulled it down, an extremely rare move for him. But the mystery of who may have helped introduce the meme to him wasn't clear, until now.

    Pulte declined to comment, as did the White House.

Two of four videos from the above RT story are below. They are "as is" from X. While some may consider them  "Sensitive or 'Violent' content, Blogger TOS allows this under their COMMENTARY policy. They aren't republished here for gratuitous reason. It's AI. It's stylish cartoon "violence." There is no intent on my part for any harm against Trump. It's SATIRE and PARODY. If you don't know the difference, go figure it out for yourselves. Or, don't watch them.

Center For American Progress: The Trump Administration’s $1,000 Tax Refund Promise Falls Short by $665. 

NPR: Tax season was supposed to bring big refunds. So far they're less than expected.  

Refunds are getting eaten up by higher gas prices.

"The tax refund season might be very good, but it's also being offset by this price in gasoline," said Michael Pearce, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics.

Easter Monday.

The text at the link below appears to have been removed from the site, or maybe moved to a link contained in the page - I don't know why. The message excerpt below remains the same. It's the same I posted other Easter Mondays:

Christianity.com: What is Easter Monday and Why Do We Celebrate It?

Easter Monday may not be the first thing you think of when you remember the Easter calendar, but it highlights an important part of the Easter story: what happened after Jesus got out of the tomb?
[.]
Easter Monday is a continuation of the joy of Easter Sunday. On Easter Monday, Christians celebrate that Jesus is alive, and therefore, we can find new life in Him. Easter Monday is celebrated differently in various parts of the world and within different denominations.
[.]
What Follows Easter Monday?

When the resurrected Christ first appeared to the disciples, Thomas was not with them. The disciples told him what they saw, but Thomas said he would need to see Christ’s nail-pierced hands for himself to believe. A week later, Jesus revisited the disciples. This time, however, Thomas was with them. Jesus showed Thomas his scars, and he believed. Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Coming Soon to America? Digital Branding.

Reclaim The Net: Mexico Speeds Up Biometric ID Rollout. 

Every Mexican with a cell phone has until July to hand over their fingerprints, iris scans, and facial data to a government whose last two attempts at phone registration ended in a data leak and a Supreme Court smackdown.

Mexico’s government wants you to believe that handing over your fingerprints, iris scans, and facial data is voluntary. President Claudia Sheinbaum has said so publicly.

But by July 2026, every one of the country’s roughly 130 million mobile phone lines must be linked to a biometric national ID, and unregistered numbers get suspended on July 1.  

This idea, in Mexico, is a test run for what's coming next in other countries, including us. Why do you think there's such immediate growth of new, under construction and planned data centers in the U.S.? 

Will you comply?  You going to accept being branded, like cattle? Probably. You know why.

Remember those who are alone, those for whatever reason, can't be with their loved ones. 

 

Remember those less fortunate. 

 

We all have reasons to be incredibly grateful for what we have. Give Thanks. 

Pray. Pray for peace. 

Blessed Easter to all.

Good Friday

You may want to Increase your (main) audio output before playing clip, it's audible, just recorded at a low volume. Alice Cooper talks Jesus Christ. He's so right. Amen. 🕆  

Good Friday.

Christ’s arrest, trial, suffering, crucifixion, and death are recorded in all four Gospel accounts, with slightly varying chronologies and details. Having been betrayed by his disciple Judas Iscariot, Jesus is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and led away to be tried. First, the Jewish religious authorities examine him on the charge that he has disobeyed the traditions of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and made blasphemous claims about himself. They adjudge him guilty.  

Some theologians I've listened to posit that Good Friday actually occurred on a Thursday, which makes sense because that amount of time concurs with three full days and nights. Whether or not you want to believe this is up to you. What matters is accepting Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior. 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 

"Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes." - Romans 10:4

Karma.

Matzav: Injuries to Smotrich’s Son More Serious Than Initially Reported. 

He's wearing a Tefillin (the Satanic Black Cube of Saturn) on his head like it matters. Maybe he has a "Magic 8" ball or Golden Calf shoved up his ass, too? 🤣 

Jews, their mysticism and Black Magic/Satanic Worship. Dates backs to the Old Testament.

Billions spent in days by U.S.; Iran War Costs.

MSN: Trump administration estimates Iran war cost at over $11 billion in six days, source says. 

AP/Reuters: Pentagon says first week of Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion. 

As a rule of thumb, when I hear the government (fed, state, local) giving us a cost estimate; I immediately double the amount. A bit later I triple it.

Now THEY'VE come for our chocolate!

Green Queen: Israeli Cell Ag Innovator Pluri Raises $6.5M, Announces Lab-Grown Cocoa Startup Acquisition. 

Israel’s Pluri has secured a $6.5M investment and entered the cell-based chocolate space with the impending purchase of a majority stake in Rehovot-based Kokomodo.

After innovating with cultivated meat and lab-grown coffee, Haifa-based firm Pluri is dipping into cell-based chocolate.

The cellular agriculture specialist has acquired at least 71% of fellow Israeli company Kokomodo, which makes cell-cultured cocoa, in a transaction with $4.5M.

Pluri is purchasing these shares from Chutzpah Holdings and Plantae, both of which are under the control of health and tech investor Alejandro Weinstein, who has concurrently poured $6.5M into Pluri’s business.

“Pluri has already demonstrated the great potential of cell-based technologies[.] 

Stem Cell Chocolate! Yum!

⏫ ⏫ WOW! A company that makes stem cell therapy for disease treatments AND makes fake chocolate? "Uh, is that batch for Cerebral Palsy stem cell therapy or the batch for Oreos?" "Duh, didn't I label it?"

Green Queen: With $750,000 in Funding, Kokomodo Emerges as Latest Cell-Based Chocolate Player. 

Kokomodo is the result of a joint venture between The Kitchen FoodTech Hub and Tel Aviv-based Plantae Bioscience, whose technology has been developed behind closed doors for the last two years. [Like Teh Coof "vaccine" ? -DD]  

Oreo, Mondelēz VC, Cadbury, Toblerone are all on board. 

Give it a few years and it'll likely suffer the same fate of lab grown meat. 

Full Blown BDS on this goyslop!
