Washington Post Braces for Massive Layoffs

Last week, anti-ICE agitator and left-wing activist William Kelly, also known as “DaWokeFarmer” on social media, was arrested by the FBI and charged with obstruction, conspiracy to deprive rights, and violating the FACE Act for his role in invading Cities Church during a worship service as part of an anti-ICE protest on January 18 in St. Paul, Minnesota.Shortly following the demonstration, Kelly took to social media and posted a profanity-laden video challenging Attorney General Pam Bondi to arrest him.“Yesterday, I went into a church with Nekima Armstrong, and I protested these white supremacists. The pastor of the church is a f**king ICE leader in the city. How can you be a f**king pastor and be a f**king ICE agent? F**k ’em,” Kelly railed, donning a “F**K TRUMP” beanie.“They want to come after me. F**k ’em. How can they live so comfortably while the f**king people from Somalia that are in this country legally that have f**king citizenship can’t even go to their mosque and pray? How do they deserve any f**king different? F**k those f**king Nazis. Come and get me, Pam Bondi, you f**king traitorous bitch. F**k, all power to the people,” he continued.To Kelly’s expletive-filled video, Bondi humorously replied, “OK,” before arresting him just days later.When Glenn Beck saw the footage, he was appalled by Kelly’s delusional rant.“Hey, farm boy,” he taunts, “the policies that you’re pushing for right now, let me ask you: How’d they work out for the farmers in the Soviet Union? How’d they work out for the farmers in Ukraine? How’d they work out for the farmers in China?”When it comes to “these policies that you’re so in love with ... you know who loses their farms right away? The stupid farmer like you!”On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn responds to “DaWokeFarmer” with a truth bomb so savage, you’ll feel the heat through your screen. In communist regimes like the one Kelly advocates for in the U.S., farmers are some of the first to be targeted, Glenn points out.“They take people like you, and they shoot them. And then they take dummies like you who know nothing about farming and say, ‘Hey, now you go farm.’ ... And then everybody starts to starve, and then the government comes back and says, ‘You’re part of the problem too.’ And they take those people and shoot them. ... And it just, lather, rinse, repeat,” he excoriates, denouncing Kelly as a “moron.”Glenn then pleads with Kelly to send him the “list of Somali citizens that are citizens who have done nothing wrong.”If such a list exists, he vows to “stand with” Kelly — but, of course, no such list exists.“How do I know? Because if you had that evidence, it would be all over ABC, NBC, and CBS. It’d be everywhere. But I don’t see that,” Glenn says. “I just see people like you using the F-word, wearing a hat with the F-word ... saying they’re coming and they’re arresting innocent people.”The truth is, in the first year of the Trump administration, ICE has arrested only two Somali-American citizens.“One was released a couple of hours into it. The other one, they didn’t sort it out until the next day, but they were immediately released once the problem was found,” Glenn says.“These victims are all made-up people,” he says.The fact that these protesters are still so concentrated on Renee Good — the 37-year old woman who was lethally shot after she struck an ICE officer with her vehicle while deliberately impeding a federal immigration operation — is proof that there isn’t a genuine victim list, Glenn says. Otherwise they wouldn’t need Good to be their convenience linchpin.“They know they have nothing,” he concludes.To hear more of his epic rant, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Public DomainHalley’s Comet can be seen from Earth every 76 years. It’s pictured here during its last appearance in 1986. Halley’s Comet may be in need of a new name, according to recent research. The comet, which returns roughly every 76 years, has long been associated with astronomer Edmond Halley. In 1705, Halley determined that comets observed in 1531, 1607, and 1682 were actually the same celestial body — and then correctly predicted its return in 1758. However, new research has revealed that an 11th-century English monk named Eilmer of Malmesbury actually recognized the comet’s periodicity centuries before Halley. Around 1066, Eilmer linked two observations of the comet, suggesting that he understood its cyclical nature long before Halley’s famous discovery. The History Of Halley’s Comet Halley’s Comet, one of history’s most famed celestial objects, returns approximately every 76 years. It was last visible from Earth in 1986, and it is expected to appear again in 2061. In 1705, using Isaac Newton’s theories of gravitation, Halley determined that several comets observed throughout history had, in fact, been one and the same. Although Halley died in 1742 and did not live to see the comet return, he did correctly predict its reappearance in 1758, at which point it was named after him. The new research, published in the book Dorestad and Everything After: Ports, Townscapes & Travellers in Europe, 800-1100 and described in a press release by Leiden University, challenges this historical narrative. Public DomainHalley’s Comet as seen in 1910. Researchers examined medieval manuscripts and determined that Eilmer of Malmesbury seemingly recognized that the comet he observed in 1066 was the same one that had appeared in 989. According to a 12th-century account by William of Malmesbury in his book Deeds of the Kings of the English, Eilmer proclaimed upon observing the comet for the second time, “You’ve come, have you? You’ve come, you source of tears to many mothers. It is long since I saw you; but as I see you now you are much more terrible, for I see you brandishing the downfall of my mother-country.” While historical records show that observations of Halley’s Comet date back even further — as early as 240 B.C.E. — Eilmer was the first to connect that the same celestial object was appearing again and again. Eilmer Of Malmesbury’s Observation Of Halley’s Comet Eilmer referred to Halley’s Comet as “terrible” due to the association of comets with misfortune in the Middle Ages. When he observed it in 1066, he reportedly warned that it was a harbinger for the death of a king — and he was right. But nobody believed him at the time. It’s not difficult to see why Eilmer’s warning may have been dismissed. The monk’s other notable claim to fame, after all, was his attempt to fly after reading the myth of Daedalus. Inspired by the tale, Eilmer strapped wings to his hands and feet and leapt from a tower at Malmesbury Abbey — and then crashed to the ground, breaking both legs and incapacitating himself for the rest of his life. William of Malmesbury later wrote that the monk believed his attempt failed because “he forgot to fit a tail on his hinder parts.” However, six months after the comet appeared in the skies above England, King Harold Godwinson was killed at the Battle of Hastings, and William the Conqueror seized the throne. The comet was even depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry due to its supposed role in the world-changing series of events. Andrew Dunn/Wikimedia CommonsEilmer of Malmesbury depicted in a stained glass window at Malmesbury Abbey outside of Bristol, England. So, while Eilmer’s attempt at flight may have ended in disaster, he did accurately surmise that he had seen the same comet twice in the skies over England, roughly 76 years apart. Now, researchers have even suggested the comet be renamed in recognition of Eilmer’s work. However, given Halley’s own contribution — and how famous Halley’s Comet is — this is unlikely to happen. After reading about Eilmer of Malmesbury’s observation of Halley’s Comet, go inside the apocalyptic frenzy caused by Halley’s Comet in 1910. Then, discover the sensation caused by the Hale-Bopp Comet in 1997.
