All places of worship—synagogues, mosques, churches, temples, and beyond—deserve absolute respect and protection from any form of disturbance or intimidation. The First Amendment safeguards religious freedom, and laws like the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248) explicitly prohibit intentional interference with worship services through force, threats, or obstruction, regardless of the protesters' cause. This applies equally to all faiths, and disruptions like the one at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 18, 2026, set a dangerous precedent if not addressed firmly. We condemn the actions of Don Lemon and the group of activists who stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, in clear violation of the FACE Act. Christians everywhere should demand that the Department of Justice arrest those who participated. We must protect religious liberty in this country. Concern about escalation is shared by many critics: If no accountability follows, it could encourage copycat disruptions of religious services (Christian, Jewish, or others) amid heated immigration debates. Lemon fired Don Lemon was fired from CNN in April 2023 after 17 years with the network. Based on reports from CNN itself, major outlets like BBC, AP News, and Wikipedia, as well as Lemon's own statements, the primary reasons cited were a series of on-air controversies and behind-the-scenes issues: Sexist comments about Nikki Haley: In February 2023, during a discussion on "CNN This Morning," Lemon said the then-51-year-old Republican presidential candidate was not "in her prime" (defining a woman's prime as her 20s, 30s, or maybe 40s). This drew widespread backlash as misogynistic, leading to an apology, time off air for "sensitivity training," and criticism from Haley herself. bbc.com +3 A Variety investigation detailed a history of reported incidents, including Lemon allegedly calling female colleagues "fat," questioning Soledad O'Brien's Black identity in a staff meeting, and other claims of sexist or racist remarks. He had previously been demoted to weekends and reportedly barred from co-hosting with women due to complaints. Additional on-air gaffes included arguing men's soccer deserved higher pay because it's "more entertaining" and asking a contributor if a verbal slip was due to "mommy brain." en.wikipedia.org +1 Lemon s move to the morning show was seen as a "disastrous run" with low viewership. Some sources also note a tense interview with Vivek Ramaswamy as a contributing factor, though not the main one. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has already launched an investigation into the January 18, 2026, disruption at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where protesters (with Don Lemon livestreaming and participating) entered during a worship service, screaming slogans like "ICE out," confronted the pastor, and caused the service to halt amid fear among congregants (including families and children). Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon (Civil Rights Division) announced the probe, stating it examines potential violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act (18 U.S.C. § 248). This federal law prohibits:Using force, threats of force, or physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate, or interfere with someone seeking to exercise religious freedom (including attending or conducting worship services). Don Lemon is a blithering idiot and what he did by storming that church is criminal. That cannot be tolerated in the United States of America and he needs to go to jail for it. Trespassing at the very least. Inciting violence comes to mind if anyone was hurt in the ordeal. That church should press charges. https://x.com/SonnaSamson/status/2013204619896238328 Damaging or destroying property of a place of religious worship because of its religious character. It applies to houses of worship (churches, synagogues, mosques, etc.) and carries penalties including fines and prison time (up to 1 year for first offenses involving non-violent obstruction; higher for force or injury). The FACE Act was originally for clinic access but explicitly protects religious services from similar interference. "Lemon claimed the MAGA administration is making stuff up, and that he didn’t storm the church. On his livestream Don Lemon stated “people need to feel terrified. This is what protesting is all about”— after seeing children running out of the church scared." https://x.com/iAnonPatriot/status/2013087932349923582 "This incident illustrates just how committed many on the Left are to the insane narrative that any enforcement of immigration law, any deportation of illegal aliens (whom even Obama deported, by the way) is some sort of Nazi abuse. They're willing to disrupt the sacredness of a church service to demonize law and order. They're willing to alienate peaceful Americans to spread their radical message. If they did this once, there's no guarantee they won't do it again. It is important, not just for justice in this case, but for religious freedom in America that these agitators get arrested and face charges for what they did here. I thank @AGPamBondi and @HarmeetKDhillon for taking this seriously" https://x.com/Tyler2ONeil/status/2013097848007536679 "Leftists storming churches in Minnesota and disrupting services is not the First Amendment. Churches are private property. Worship isn’t a protest zone. This isn’t speech, it’s trespassing and harassment" https://x.com/the_jefferymead/status/2013112364762087439 Storming a Sunday worship service is not “protest.” It’s lawless intimidation. What happened at Cities Church was an anti-Christian power play: activists disrupting prayer, frightening families, and desecrating worship because they hate lawful authority. This wasn’t about “justice.” It was about dominion who is allowed to gather, who is allowed to worship, and who must submit to the mob. A society that excuses this will not stop with churches they dislike. And churches that refuse to name this as evil will not be spared next time. Christ’s church is not a public square. It is holy ground and it must be defended as such. https://x.com/the_jefferymead/status/2013112364762087439 "Any violation of federal law will be prosecuted." White House and Trump administration officials (e.g., Press Secretary) condemned it as intolerable harassment of Christians in sacred spaces.As of January 19, 2026 (today), no arrests or charges have been reported against Lemon or the protesters. Investigations like this involve gathering evidence (e.g., video from Lemon's stream, witness statements, intent assessment), which takes time—days to weeks or longer before decisions on prosecution. Concern about escalation is shared by many critics: If no accountability follows, it could encourage copycat disruptions of religious services (Christian, Jewish, or others) amid heated immigration debates. The law exists precisely to deter that by treating intentional interference with worship as a federal civil rights crime—similar to how it's enforced against pro-life activists at clinics. Prosecution would send a clear message that such actions cross protected lines, regardless of political motivation.The incident remains fast-moving. The DOJ probe is the mechanism in play right now—no "allowing" Lemon's actions; they're actively scrutinizing them under FACE Act protections for places like churches and synagogues. If evidence supports charges (e.g., obstruction/intimidation during worship), arrests could follow. I'll note any major updates as they emerge. #lemon #FACE #DOJ

Beste mensen, Het is een mooi tafereel, de prachtige wintertuin in Amsterdam Noord schitterend mooi die heerlijke zachte sneeuw en lekker koud. De #samsung camera a16 in hoge resolutie maakt echter minder scherpe fotos dan de iphone vanaf serie 7 De Iphone 7, reeds verouderd, is toch echt stukken beter vergeleken met samsung a 16, jazeker de iphone 7 camera is steeds nog super goed wat scherpte en kleuren dynamiek betreft oa, en beter dan alle modellen van samsung, met hun pruts sensor en magere chipset, In hoge resolutie kost het 125 mb bij de samsung, de video hierboven, veel opslag en je krijgt er geen kwaliteit voor terug. Zie het fraaie beeld van de Wintertuin #Amsterdam Noord Bremstraat 72 Dichtershuis Stan Rams 5 01 2026, een Mooie foto maar details zijn ver te zoeken. Mijn advies: de a16 is meer een degelijke en goedkope telefoon om mee te bellen en gadgets te gebruiken maar de camera is werkelijk niet veel soeps en zulke modellen zitten vol met een overdaad aan onzinnige toeters en bellen, sommige zitten zelfs verstopt in die toestellen. Ik ga zsm fotos maken met mijn vertrouwde Iphone, en die bij reacties toevoegen als bijdrage, het winterse tafereel met die mooie houten schutting en op de achtergrond die fantastisch mooie boom, is voor mijn gevoel best heel mooi. Klimaat oplichterij door Regeringen en Media De regeringen, en in NL de nare bangmakers zoals Timmermans, Jetten, Bontenbal en propaganda media waaronder de leugen BBC enNOS, hebben afgelopen jaren de indruk gewekt dat er sprake zou zijn van een vreselijke klimaatopwarming, en dat als er geen maatregelen worden getroffen zoals via Timmermans "Green Deal" aangestuurd via de bemoeizieke Berlijnse/ Brusselse EU Tirannen zoals Ursula vd Leyen, dat de wereld zou vergaan door een ziedende hitte en alles en iedereen zal uitsterven binnen enkele jaren. Men beweerde in feite dat we eraan gaan tenzij er maatregelen getroffen worden om de wereld te redden. Welke maatregelen werden getroffen? De klimaat agenda van de EU komt op het volgende neer: Enorm veel geld van de burgers afpersen en opmaken aan allerlei voor het milieu zeer schadelijke maatregelen waarbij allerlei bedrijven hun zakken vullen dmv handel in de zgn crises industrie, men schept crises als verdienmodel en maakt alles alleen maar erger en erger om daar ook weer geld mee te kunnen verdienen. Bomen kappen en verstoken in kankerverwekkend fijnstof en roet uitstotende biomassa centrales ! Het importeren van onrendabele onduurzame en ziekmakende windmolens, die miljarden insecten en ontelbaar veel vogels doden door de niet recyclebare wieken, molens die worden onderhouden met schadelijke chemicalien, en molens die bij forse wind krakken of in brand vliegen en enorm veel schadelijke kankerverwekkende stoffen verspreiden door de toxische rook. Dure Molens die erg weinig opbrengen omdat het te weinig waait en omdat ze stil worden gezet voor onderhoud of reparatie, of omdat ze stuk zijn. En omdat ze stil worden gezet bij overproductie, alles verlies dus en een groot bedrogmodel gelanceerd door de klimaatmaffia. Windmolens veroorzaken trillingen die mensen en dieren ziek maken, en ze ontsieren het mooie landschap. Windmolens zijn simpelweg zeer slecht voor het leefklimaat en voor de economie en ze vormen een enorm gevaar mbt de veiligheid Grote promotie van e wagens en e voertuigen, die bij brand enorme explosieve gifwolken verspreidden. Bij weg ongelukken kunne evenwel ook diesel wagens vlam vatten maar die verspreiden dan bij lange na niet de enorme gif roet wolk troep die brandende e wagens en e voertuigen verspreiden De energie nog veel duurder maken door belastingen te verhogen, schandalige oplichterij. Het aanprijzen van peperdure energie- slurpende warmtepompen, die niet deugen en in de winter buiten bevriezen en kunnen ontploffen. Het importeren van ontelbaar veel op vervuilende wijze geproduceerde plastic pruts gadgets uit China, een enorm pakket dingen die als klimaatvriendelijk werden aangeprezen en op kosten van de burger via belastingen, voor niks werden aangeboden in steden zoals ondeugdelijke rubber tochtwering, klemmende brievenbuskleppen, . aluminium rotzooi, op batterij aangedreven gadgets zoals oa kastjes met een thermometer en luchtvochtigheidsmeter etc Wie heeft zulk een prullen nodig in huis? Elke CV heeft een thermostaat en er zijn meer dan zat genoeg bronnen om te weten hoe warm of koud het is. Het massaal in omloop brengen van vd gezondheid beslist niet bevorderlijke LED lampen. De goede boerenstand kapot maken en/of reduceren door een pakket aan krankzinnige oneerlijke maatregelen en eisen. gebaseerd op het leugenverhaal over CO2. Men kondigt via media en radio klimaatangst en maakt mensen bang, hetgeen tot stress, hartklachten en erger leidt. En nu het lekker sneeuwt en de temperatuur onder het vriespunt is gedaald gaat de regerende klimaat maffia de problemen die sneeuwval veroorzaken, enorm opblazen, nood alarmen geven oke, om mensen te waarschuwen zoals voor ijs en gladheid, verkeersproblemen, treinen die niet gaan en vliegtuigen die niet opstijgen etc, maar men overdrijft nu wel heel erg en waarom doet men dat? Om dan weer de indruk te geven dat men zo eerlijk is, terwijl men winterse taferelen die heel normaal zijn en deel uitmaken van steeds weer wisselend weer met de tijden, gaat omschrijven als een gigantische ramp enzovoorts.... overdrijven als cover up van hun klimaatopwarming leugens En nu dan.... word het... is het al niet de hoogste tijd dat burgers massaal juridische stappen gaan ondernemen tegen de liegende politici en media en kletsverhalen kondigende ingehuurde geleerden, die van alles rond propageren waar geen druppel of zonnestraal van klopt. We zijn al die leugens toch echt meer dan zat, en wij burgers verdienen veel beter dan een regering die burgers afperst, oorlogen financiert en ons land economisch en qua gezondheid helemaal kapot aan het maken is met hun pakket aan klimaat verpesting annex volksverlakkerij oplichterij. Het is de hoogste tijd om de krachten te bundelen en in actie te komen, om de wereld te redden van de politieke waanzin misdaden.

“We like long hair. We don’t see why people should persecute us because of this.” David Bowie. That’s the stand of David Bowie when he was 17-year-old at the time still plain old David Jones. He founded the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men, and aked the BBC in 1964 to make a plea for understanding. #Culture #History #DavidBowie #Music #UK

30th century trumpets sound wonderfull After 3000 years or more, the trumpets of king Tutankhamen were played and broadcasted by BBC in 1939. The BBC presented a made-up piece with a "cavalry tune" in between on 3,000-year-old trumpets said to have been found at Tutankhamen's Tomb. The trumpets were discovered in 1922 by Haward Carter in the tomb of King Tut in the Valley of Kings, Luxor Egypt. In the silver trumpet, Tut his name was included in the delicate design. It was found in the burial chamber itself, while the bronze or copper horn only made it as far as the antechamber. The trumpets from Tut’s tomb are the oldest trumpets anywhere in the world. A british army trumpeter James Tappern played on King Tut s trumpets on April 16, 1939. The performance was recorded using a BBC studio microphone. James Tappern used a modern mouthpiece into the 3,500-year-old instruments, and played improvised a false sounding cavalry charge song. Some 150 million people listened to the broadcast and were shocked. Without the use of a modern world mouthpiece, those ancient trumpets are only capable of playing “one good note” according to Percival Robson Kirby, who had attempted an earlier trumpet performance while visiting Cairo in 1933. Kirby disapproved the BBC broadcast, which presented a misleading rendition of ancient Egyptian trumpet music. Kirby dicovered a wooden insert in the Tut tomb trumpet, which others have guessed was a kind of mute perhaps used in the manner of Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong to play the “good note.” However Kirby, surmised that the insert was merely used to protect the trumpet, and especially prevent denting. In his opinion King Tut was happy with just one good tone. Ancient Egyptians believed that the trumpets possessed magical properties. After the bronze/copper trumpets were stolen during the Egyptian riots of 2011, museum curator Hala Hassan warned that “whenever someone blows into it a war occurs.” Just a week before the Arab Spring rioting, a member of the museum staff had done just that, and soon there was violence in the streets. The same thing had happened before the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1991 Gulf War. The BBC broadcast of 1939 took place just five months before the outbreak of WW II. Tooting on Tut’s horn, may in 1941, have led to Pearl Harbor and tooting many years later could have caused 09 11. These are lessons, they help understand why an Egyptian Pharaoh required a trumpet in his tomb.
