A few months ago I was accused of being a bigot, by a very disturbed individual from England named Connor Heggie.  You can find out more about him if you do a search on this blog.  Heggie went around the Internet claiming that I was a bigot because, as he is apparently a homosexual person, my mere disagreeing with the LGBT lifestyle means that I hate those kinds of people.


It seems not to dawn on Heggie that HE is the real bigot, against anyone who does not meet his standards.  So rife with hate is Heggie, that he has stalked people online and had them fired from their jobs because they disagreed with him.

Last week I was sent information from someone who had been watching Heggie’s Facebook group, The SW Geek Hub.  And whatever doubts about Heggie being a person of hate were dispelled.  Heggie is among those

EDIT  10/09/2026 12:55 AM EST:  Why not?

I think that taking a stand against antisemitism certainly counts toward doing good.

Here is the post that I had taken down a few days ago:

 

I debated about whether to post this.  Truth be told apart from some mad comment left on a previous post I’d forgotten about Connor Heggie, the owner of Facebook group The SW Geek Hub and the extremist LGBT stalker who accused me of bigotry because of my convictions about the homosexual lifestyle and how it is not only wrong, but it’s dangerous.

There have been too many great things in my life lately than to be concerned about a twit and his fellow goons on Facebook.  Things like new friendship, well-paying new job, new car, my book selling well and I’ve begun writing another… God has been very good to me in the past ...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come out with a commercial for his campaign (and the Likud party) and… well, it’s pretty gosh-darn brilliant no matter who you are!  A couple expects a babysitter and instead they get a “Bibi-sitter”. Check it out:




I understand that there is some play-on-words here that will probably go unnoticed by most English-only speakers.  F’rinstance, when they mention “carpets” that’s also Israeli terminology for “territories”.

I’ve a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Mr. Netanyahu.  A tremendous amount.  But I never thought that he’d be making a commercial like this.  Seeing him let his hair down with such a clever ad seems perfect somehow....

A man in Brazil has died after a cow on top of his roof crashed through the ceiling of his house and crushed him in his bed.

From the story at The Telegraph…

The cow is believed to have escaped from a nearby farm and climbed onto the roof of the couple’s house, which backs onto a steep hill on Wednesday night.

The corrugated roof immediately gave way and the one-and-a-half-ton animal fell eight feet onto Mr de Souza’s side of the bed.

His wife, and the cow, both reportedly escaped unharmed.

Rescuers took Mr de Souza to hospital with a fractured left leg but no other
obvious injuries, reporting that he was conscious and talking normally.

Hours later however he died from internal bleeding while still waiting to be
seen by doctors, according to his family.

Mr de Souza’s brother-in-law Carlos Correa told Brazil’s Hoje em Dia

The next time you hear someone speak of a thing as being “old as dirt”, now you’ll have some context for it…

Deep in the Negev Desert of Israel, scientists have discovered what is being called the oldest patch of exposed ground in the world. It’s been dated at around 1.8 million years old.

Pretty humbling, aye? To know that there are still places in this world that defy the savagery of both nature and man. It’s much like whenever I go out on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the western part of North Carolina: seeing all those mountains, knowing that they were here long before us, and will still be there long after we are gone.

And who knows? This might literally be ground that Abraham, or Joseph, or Moses once walked upon. Perhaps even Jesus Himself, who we are told went out into the desert for forty ...
