This is a wall at the (former) fortress of Masada, in Israel. Where the remaining inhabitants committed mass suicide rather than be slaughtered by the Romans. Wall broken. People, not so much. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/

As Usual, Dave Carter on Ricochet Says it Better
The title of his piece is "Tolerance and the Despot". The subject is what liberals call Tolerance, but what is really Tyranny. I recommend that all of my readers and followers head on over to Ricochet and read Dave's post. Thank you all. Oh, and I heartily recommend that you join Ricochet. The people there are …

Connections…Sport fans riot; Mob rule; and Liberalism
I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin. There were riots in the streets, with college students tipping over cars and setting fires, to express their anger at their team's loss. …

I am Sad Today
It has been very disheartening this week, reading about all the good people whose lives and livelihoods have been under murderous assault, both in the USA and abroad. In Kenya, many Christian students were murdered by ruthless terrorists, at their school. The death toll is nearly 150! These students were studying, bothering no one. …
What Obama Hath Wrought-is there ANY part of the Federal Government that is NOT Corrupted?
Sigh...Have you noticed lately the increasing rate of government scandals coming to light? I have given it much thought, and it seems to me that, since Obama and his minions took power, nearly every part of the huge (and expanding by leaps and bounds) federal government has been corrupted in some way by the Democrats, …

Rather than HERE: Victims of Terrorism in France, a real ally. OTL couldn't be bothered to attend a rally commemorating citizens brutally murdered by Muslim …
Photo Challenge: Express Yourself
This is how I prefer to express myself. This picture was taken in Carnegie Hall, in 2006, when I traveled with the Everett (WA) Symphony. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!
In My Considered (Jewish) Opinion…Something controversial in the title: ISLAM IS EVIL
Islam is simply an evil religion. Witness what occurred in Paris today.(now, yesterday, updated Friday). This in response to cartoons, for heaven's sake! Islam's holy book advocates forced conversion or murder for "apostates" and unbelievers. All over the world, Muslim radicals are murdering innocent civilians, taking hostages in coffee shops, and kidnapping school girls and selling …
Coarsening the Culture
It started with an essay in the (supposedly) high-minded publication for Wall Street Journal subscribers, WSJ Magazine. This comes out every other month in the print edition, and is a slick magazine designed to appeal to high-income readers. It is filled with ads for expensive clothing, watches, and jewelry, and features stories about people and …
