The embattled State of Israel unleashed its intelligence and military power today, in an operation that, with precision, took out hundreds of Hezbollah terrorist operatives, and also the Iranian ambassador! At about 3:00PM Beirut time, the electronic pagers carried by most of the terror operatives all rang at once. Then, something earth-shaking happened. https://twitter.com/collinrugg/status/1836186676387025394?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Read …

I STAND WITH ISRAEL

THIS I KNOW Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.  Muslims in any country, other than the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, do not assimilate into their host country.  They do not adopt the values of the countries into which they immigrated.  Countries in Europe now have "no-go zones", where violence runs rampant, and even police …

Thanks very much to Sofia, who echoes what I always tell my friends, photographers or not.  I make a habit of looking up, wherever I am.  Most people, when they are in a city, walk or drive along looking forward, or down at their phones (which is dangerous!).  I suggest that they take their eyes …

As places go, the United States isn't very old, only about 250 years old.  You have to travel to Europe or Asia to find really old artifacts.  One of the best places to find old construction is the State of Israel.  Itself, it is pretty new, having been founded in 1948. But the Covenant from …

This week marks the holiday of Chanukah, and the victory of the Maccabees over the Greek desecrators of the Temple.  The ancient Jews, fighting for their homeland, were fierce warriors, who were not finally defeated until the Romans did so in 70AD with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.  Here are some pictures …
