Second Amendment Blog Bash

Why I'd love to go, and why you should attend.

For me to meet and spend the weekend (May 15-18) getting to know other Gun bloggers would be really cool. I read their blogs daily, feel like I know them, but have never met them.

When I first heard about the Second Amendment Blog Bash, I signed up as a possible attendee.

More than 70,000 gun enthusiasts are expected to attend the NRA convention.

Mayor Jerry Abramson said the city and its hotels, restaurants and stores stand to get an economic boost of $15 million to $20 million from the gathering.

Israel responds to disaster

Psalm 81:7

Israel is sending aid teams to devastated Myanmar (formerly Burma) , where the death toll from a cyclone that battered the Southeast Asian nation over the weekend is said to be between 23,000-50,000.

The Foreign Ministry sent teams from the IDF's highly trained search-and-rescue team as well as a 10-member team of top Israeli doctors and nurses. Israel also dispatched badly needed supplies, including plastic sheeting, food, household appliances and water filters.

Count on Obama

Barack Hussein Obama says he's been to fifty-seven states, not including Hawaii and Alaska, and he still has one left to go.

So there are sixty states in the United States of America. WTF??



Is he really that stupid? Or didn't they teach US geography in the Islamic school he attended in Indonesia?

If you think the US Dollar is in trouble now, wait until Obama uses his Islamic math skills and devalues it by another 16.66%. Saudi America here we come

IDF Awards Two Heroes

Two Israeli civilians received IDF certificates of appreciation for having responded heroically to terrorist attacks. IDF Binyamin Brigade Commander Col. Amir Abulafia awarded the certificates to two residents of the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria.

Moshe Benbenishti was cited for having "acted courageously when he did not lose his cool when attacked by rioters from the village of Zara el Kabaliye." In the incident, which occurred in March of this year, Moshe "used his personal pistol and hit one of the central inciters, and as a result saved his own life and scattered the mob that wanted to harm him."

Rabbi Erez Bar'on was praised for "acting with a perfectly cool head when he responded effectively and killed a terrorist who tried to attack him as well as a youth at the Shilo hitch-hiking post." The incident occurred a month ago.

Memorial Day at the IDF Armour Corps Museum with Jewish Motorcyclists from around the world

Jewish Bikers from around the world are here in Israel.


They shipped their motorcycles, and came to tour Israel.

They will ride around the country in a landmark ride to commemorate the Holocaust, celebrate Israel's 60th anniversary and express support for the Jewish homeland. The idea for this trip was dreamt up at a Ride to Remember (R2R) in 2005, when members of various worldwide Jewish motorcycle clubs rode to the grand opening of the Holocaust museum in Washington DC.

Since that ride, the R2R has become an annual event that takes riders to various landmarks around the US to commemorate and educate about the Holocaust, and represent the Jewish people as free and strong.

As part of their tour, Jewish Bikers visited the Latrun Armor Corps Museum on Israel's Memorial Day.

Israeli Bikers joined the tour as well. Being motorcycle addict, I just had to be there.

My friend and I met up with the convoy of Harleys, Hondas, Yamahas and others, on the Highway and rode to Latrun. At the Armor Corps Museum there are tanks , antique and modern weapons, and every armored and tracked vehicle ever used by the IDF on display. We were given the VIP treatment with our very own IDF Armor Corps tour guides.

We got to see, and touch all of the equipment from huge Merkava tanks to various small arms. I even got to check out the new RPG7.

Memorial Day in Israel: Mourn, Comfort and Remember

The air-raid siren's blare last night at 8:00 PM found me as I was driving home on the mountain roads of the Shomron.

I pulled over to the side of the road, turned on the car's hazard lights, got out and stood next to my car under the dark sky. Other cars also stopped, their driver's got out, and we stood silently listening to the siren.

So what do you think about during the siren? Once upon a time, I used to recite Psalms to myself to honor the memory of the IDF soldiers who fell defending Israel. Yet the one minute siren is so short, many more thoughts last night reverberated in my head. More Here, Hattip Jameel.

paratroopers from around the world jump with the IDF

Approximately 150 paratroopers from armies from around the world arrived this past weekend in Israel, to participate the parachuting exhibition with the IDF.

The visiting paratroopers include delegations from the American, English, Singaporean and South African armies. The paratroopers are being hosted at the IDFs paratrooper school.

The events are organized by Freedom Jump.





I will be at one of the Jumps on Wednesday as part of the IDF Memorial day ceremonies. I'll try to get some pictures of the event.
