LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) — It was a patriotic day at Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson in Lancaster, where the 1776 Patriots of America Motorcycle Club gathered for its annual Veterans Fundraiser. “To help veterans that are in need, that are in that gap, that gray area,” said Doc Manzo with Patriots of America. “So, we have veterans that become homeless after getting out of the service or just have hard times.” “A lot of these veterans that we help fall into a gray area from the VA, and they don’t qualify for all the help, which is where me and Doc kind of come in, because we’ve been in that grey area,” said Abraham Plascencia, a Navy veteran. Many members of the club know what it’s like. “Eight years ago, I was homeless, and I finally got back on my feet, and about four years ago, I was doing pretty good, and I was like, ‘Man, now you know what? As a veteran, I feel like I should help others,'” Manzo said. This is the fourth year of the event — with a poker run, car and bike show, and plenty of activities for the family. “It’s a big event that I like, just seeing the smiles and helping people. It’s a great feeling,” said Trouble Valtierra with Patriots of America. The money raised goes straight to basic needs for veterans, big and small — everything from furniture to bikes for the kids. “If we come across veterans or somebody that knows a veteran that there’s a need, and we have funds, we’re able to help them. Maybe with their light bill or something like that, if they’re struggling but don’t qualify for some of those bigger programs out there, that’s where we fill in that gap,” Manzo said.

I am almost 100% confident I’ve written about this before many years ago, but I looked and I can’t find that article anywhere. Just gone. Poof! And usually when that happens, it’s because the Deep State Censorship Machine has gone in and deleted my work, and that usually means I was RIGHT over the target. So I’m going to write this again and publish it today because many of you may have never seen this. You may have noticed I’ve never spent a ton of time on the “Q Proofs” and the “Q Decodes”. Nothing against the people who do that stuff, more power to them, it’s just not my thing. But from time to time, like when President Trump is asked about Q or something as obvious as what I’m about to show you, then it becomes really interesting to me. So let me set the stage…. Back in 2018, Q was relatively new and sometimes people would ask President Trump to give a “Q Proof” — basically, to do something so strange and so out of the ordinary that it couldn’t possibly happen randomly and would be defacto proof that Trump was basically Q+ and Q was real. And that’s exactly what happened in April 2018 when someone asked Q if President Trump would say “tippy top”. Spoiler alert: he did. Not just once or twice either. This is really pretty incredible, check this out: Seeing as how it is Easter weekend – Let’s revisit “Tippy Top”, shall we? In April of 2018, we received one of the most airtight Q-Proofs we have ever gotten, and it came courtesy of President Trump. To preface: An Anon asked Q if we could get a “tippy top” from President… pic.twitter.com/7hYeFcpxOT — 17AbsoluteRedux76 (@RealAbs1776) April 19, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: And people are absolutely loving the Q-Proof section. And this is one of my all-time, if not my all-time favorite Q-Proof. Why don’t you go ahead, Joe? Is it your tippy-top favorite? Absolute? I think it might be my tippy-top favorite Q-Proof, yes. I think by the time we’re finished with this segment—if it wasn’t, if it was like number two—I think it would be number one. So let’s get into it. So here—if you’re not familiar with that look and feel of that text—that’s a “chance.” So this was just a regular Anon who posted on the 8chan board on January 29th, 2018. “Maybe Q can work in the phrase ‘tip-top’ in the State of the Union as a shout-out to the board,” meaning the 8chan board. So Anon wrote this, trying to nudge Q and Trump to give us a shout-out, if you will. Didn’t happen at the State of the Union address. But just a few months later—here’s what happened: “Well, welcome to the 2018 White House Easter Egg Roll. So many people, you know, it was supposed to be pouring, the weather was supposed to be very rainy and nasty and cold and windy—and look what we have: perfect weather. Perfect weather. Beautiful weather. Thank you all for being here, folks. Thank you all. I want to really thank the First Lady, Melania, who has done an incredible job. She worked so hard on this event, and so I want to thank you. Also, I want to thank the White House Historical Association and all of the people that worked so hard with Melania, with everybody, to keep this incredible house—or building, or whatever you want to call it, because there really is no name for it. It is special. And we keep it in tip-top shape. We call it sometimes tippy-top shape. And it’s a great, great place. It’s an honor to have everybody. On behalf of the Trump family, many of whom are with us right here in the audience—I just want to thank you.” “This is a special year. Our country is doing great. You look at the economy, you look at what’s happening. Nothing’s ever easy, but we have never had an economy like we have right now. And we’re going to make it bigger and better and stronger. Our military is now at a level—or will soon be at a level—that it’s never been before.” “You see what’s happening, and you see what’s happening with funding. The funding of our military was so important, and so many military people are with us today. Just think of $700 billion, because that’s all going into our military this year. So I want to thank you all for being here. The band—unbelievable. I love you people. I hear them a lot. They’re as talented as anybody and any players anywhere. So thank you very much. And now I’m going to come down and we’re going to watch this roll. Thank you all and have a great time. Thank you. Happy Easter. Thank you very much.” Oh my God. You can’t make it up. I mean, that is just banger right on. So Trump totally confirms this request. You can’t make it up. He comes right out. He says “tip top” and makes a real emphasis. And he’s not just saying this with emphasis—he happens to be next to this, you know, yeah it was Easter. It was this crazy, you know, Easter egg hunt. And I know, you know, he just happens—you know “follow the rabbit” is part of the Q drops. So he waited, if you will, from January to April, because he wanted it to be in this moment. He wanted it to be a tip-top moment. He wanted to be able to stand next to “follow the rabbit.” He knew this would get national news. We got smoke and FLOTUS next to him. We got this crazy, this crazy rabbit, you know—who would walk around like that with crazy ears and big glasses? I mean, nobody does that, right? No man, I wouldn’t associate with somebody like that. If I came across somebody with big-ass ears and goofy glasses like that, I would just keep walking. I’d have nothing to do with them. I certainly wouldn’t have them doing a Q show with me. That’s for sure, man. So I’m glad you’re not like that. Really, truly, I am. No, you can’t. Only Trump can pull this off, you know, standing next to something so odd. But what an ultimate banger—where Anon wrote the request and on this national type of stage, Q+, as we call him, totally delivered. So that is a one hundred percent banger Q-Proof. One of my favorite. And then over on the right— So that was April 2nd when Trump went out there and did this tip-top moment. So Q, on Q991, he’s saying it was requested. “Did you listen today? Tip top. Tippy top shape.” Back to the 8chan board. So that Anon wrote that request on this Q research board, where people would know that Q would see it and have the ability to reply. So I love this Q-Proof. You have the request. You have the waiting. You have Donald Trump deliver on the world stage next to “follow the rabbit.” And it was smoking. I mean, that really perked up my ears. I mean, I just thought that was just—you know, I couldn’t stop hopping around when I saw that. That was unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? It’s the kind of thing you just want to make sure you see really well and don’t miss, you know? Like, it’s right. You’re right, man. You got some shit growing out of your head, dude. I don’t know if you noticed that or not. I feel good. OK, cool. Cool. All right. Well, we’re coming to this last slide on the Q-Proof. And just for good measure, you pulled a couple more videos where he gave it more tips, right? Like he said it a couple more times? Correct. Yeah. He has since that point. So he goes on, Donald Trump, and gives us nods every so often. And that’s a big thing that we bring to the show each week is letting you know of these different moments—whether he’s doing an air Q or he says “I’ve been to Washington 17 times before I was president.” All these different things. He always gives us nods along the way. So since that banger Q-Proof, he knew how popular it was. Along the way at different rally points and different points throughout— One is here I grabbed from 2019, and one was in 2020. But he even says it past that, and he’s said it a bunch. But it’s a nod, if you will, to that particular moment. So just like these two people said, “Oh my God. Q-Proof. Tippy-top. Tippy-top.” It gets the Anon community excited whenever Trump hits this. So yeah, let’s play the first one from 2019. They’re both really short, but right to the point. This one is actually 17 seconds long. Keck. “Our nuclear was getting very tired. They hadn’t spent the money on it. And now we have it in, as we would say, tippy-top shape. Tippy-top. We have new and we have renovated, and it’s incredible. And we all should pray that we never have to use it.” Unbelievable. And he’s talking about a big thing right there, right? He’s talking about—well, what was he talking about? He’s talking about the largest arms that we have, right? So it also kind of comes into the moment that we’re headed towards, with the precipice, if you will. It kind of just circles right back around. And here’s over on the right—he says tippy-top again. This one’s also pretty short. So let’s have a look at this one: “Things we’ve done in our nuclear plants and our nuclear capabilities now at the highest level, and it’s all in tippy-top shape. And you just have to pray to God that we never use it. That’s all we say. Pray to God that we never use it.” For a second there when the sound clipped, I thought it was clipping when he’s saying tippy-top. I’m gonna be mad as hell if it clipped when he said tippy-top. But yeah, so that’s it. That’s arguably my favorite Q-Proof of all time, man. It’s kind of hard to argue against that one. Yeah, it’s quickly becoming my favorite. But that was really fun, bringing it full circle. So since it proved itself, like we’re saying, it’s even better to revisit it. And that’s the fun part of doing this show—we get to revisit the past, and we also get to kind of add in different moments along the way. Since it went into the Q-Proof itself, you see that Trump continually goes back and gives us nods along the way. So that was fun as hell. Hopefully you guys enjoyed that.

Ford is recalling approximately 148,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced. “The automaker will recall 123,611 vehicles due to a fluid leak that could reduce braking performance and increase stopping distance,” Reuters stated. “This affects certain 2017–18 Ford F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator models,” the outlet added.

Separately, Ford is calling back 24,655 of its 2025 Explorer vehicles as a powertrain control module (PCM) may reset while driving, which can damage the vehicle’s park system or cause an engine stall, according to the regulator. Dealers are expected to fix the software issue free of charge, with owners receiving notification letters by May 26. Ford released an advanced notice for safety recalls across several vehicles on April 14. https://t.co/qbeo2ve9XB — TODAY (@TODAYshow) April 19, 2025 Ford Motor Company is recalling nearly 148,300 vehicles in the United States due to two separate safety issues. @Ford https://t.co/s5Q11yPEir pic.twitter.com/EjOltmz7e5 — The Dallas Express News (@DallasExpress) April 19, 2025 From TODAY: Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are two larger recalls affecting more than 148,000 cars. One recall, which could potentially affect up to 123,611 cars, was issued across six vehicles as “the brake master cylinder may allow brake fluid to leak from the front wheel circuit into the brake booster.” In April 16 letter from the NHTSA, in which they acknowledged the recall, the agency states that a brake fluid leak can reduce brake functionality and extend the distance needed to stop, thus increasing the risk of crash. Another recall, potentially affecting up to 24,655 cars, was issued across one vehicle as “the powertrain control module (PCM) may reset while driving, which can damage the park system or cause an engine stall.” In that recall acknowledgment letter, also issued on April 16, the agency said a damaged park system can potentially lead to a vehicle rollaway when it is parked without the parking brake and if the engine stalls while driving it can lead to a loss of drive power. Both instances can increase the risk of a crash. Several smaller recalls were also issued throughout the month of April, including issues related to the high voltage battery pack, power windows and rearview cameras.

Ok, let’s address this… In almost 10 years of running this website, I don’t think I’ve ever tackled this topic. But now it’s time. And what I’m about to say might surprise you….in several different ways depending on what you already know about this topic or where you personally fall in your feelings about it.   So make sure you read to the end to get my FULL opinion! But here’s the basic premise that we’re going to tackle:  the Bible never talks about “Easter”.  Easter is in fact derived from the pagan fertility “goddess” Ishtar, which is the reason for the eggs and bunny, because those are also fertility symbols. Some of you are saying “it’s about time Noah finally covered this!” Others of you are saying “there’s no way that can be true.” Yet another group is saying “I don’t care if it’s true, just don’t ruin my adult version of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus please!” So, big question: is it true? After we answer that we’ll talk about what to do about it. Here’s what my friend Bo Polny just posted: HAPPY EASTER????Have you been LIED too???? Think TWISE before saying ‘Happy Easter’ this RESURRECTION Sunday!!! Ishtar: pronounced ‘Easter’ ‘Easter’ was originally the celebration of the god Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility, animal sacrifices,… — Bo Polny (@BoPolny) March 29, 2024 So I’ll just cut right to the chase: Yes, by all accounts this is historically true.  Most of it.  I’ll explain more down below… Here is Grok telling you point blank that the eggs and bunnies related to Easter trace back to “ancient pagan traditions and fertility symbols”: Sorry folks, I don’t make the news, I just report it. Now to the name “Easter”…. There appears to be some conflict on this topic. Grok reports that the name does indeed drive from a pagan fertility festival, but that is “Ēastre” or “Ēostre,” not specifically “Ishtar”: If find “Ēostre,” interesting in how closely related it is to the word “esoteric”. But as to “Ishtar”, Grok reports there is not a direct connection there: Now let’s go to ChatGPT to see what it says about Easter, the Eggs and the Bunny: The use of eggs and bunnies in Easter celebrations has a history that combines ancient traditions, Christian customs, and cultural adaptations. Eggs The egg has been a symbol of new life and rebirth dating back thousands of years, long before the advent of Christianity. In the context of Easter, eggs represent the resurrection of Jesus Christ, signifying his emergence from the tomb and resurrection to new life. This symbolism was adopted early in the history of Christian observance of Easter. In addition to their symbolic significance, there are practical reasons for the association of eggs with Easter. Historically, Lent, the forty-day period leading up to Easter, was a time of fasting in the Christian calendar. Many Christians would abstain from eating meat and dairy products, which included eggs. Therefore, eggs laid during this time would be saved and then decorated to mark the end of Lent and the celebration of Easter. Bunnies The Easter Bunny has a more complex and less directly religious origin. Rabbits, known for their energetic breeding, have long been symbols of fertility and new life. The connection between Easter and rabbits or hares is believed to have originated with pre-Christian fertility festivals, because the rabbit is a prolific breeder and spring is a season of rebirth and renewal. The specific tradition of the Easter Bunny as a deliverer of eggs and candy to children is thought to have originated among German Lutherans. The “Easter Hare” would judge children’s behaviors at the start of the season of Eastertide and then bring gifts of colored eggs, sweets, and toys to the well-behaved children on the night before Easter. German immigrants to the United States in the 18th century brought the tradition with them, and it spread and evolved into the Easter Bunny customs we are familiar with today. Thus, the origins of eggs and bunnies in Easter celebrations stem from a mix of ancient fertility symbols, Christian resurrection symbolism, and cultural traditions that highlight themes of renewal, rebirth, and joy. So once again we confirm that the bunny and the eggs are tied to pagan fertility rituals, and later co-opted into Christianity. They try to tie the tomb of Jesus to breaking out of the egg and “new life” to fertility rituals. Ok, so now the big question: what do we do with all of this? The Bible tells us to celebrate 7 main feast days: Passover (Pesach): Commemorates the Israelites’ deliverance from Egyptian slavery, when the angel of death “passed over” the houses of the Israelites marked with the blood of a lamb, sparing their firstborn sons (Exodus 12:1-14). Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot): Observed immediately after Passover, this seven-day festival involves the removal of all leaven (yeast) from homes to symbolize purity and separation from sin (Exodus 12:15-20). Feast of Firstfruits (Yom HaBikkurim): Celebrated on the day after the Sabbath following Passover, it involves presenting the first sheaf of the barley harvest to the Lord as an offering, acknowledging God’s provision (Leviticus 23:10-14). Feast of Weeks or Pentecost (Shavuot): Occurring fifty days after the Feast of Firstfruits, it marks the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest. It also commemorates the giving of the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai (Leviticus 23:15-22). Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah): This is a day of rest marked by blowing trumpets, signaling the beginning of the ten days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:23-25). Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Considered the holiest day of the Jewish year, it involves fasting and repentance. The high priest enters the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the sins of the people (Leviticus 16; Leviticus 23:26-32). Feast of Tabernacles or Booths (Sukkot): A week-long festival during which Israelites live in temporary shelters (booths) to commemorate their wilderness journey and dependence on God’s provision. It also celebrates the harvest (Leviticus 23:33-43). I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where we are told to stop celebrating these. In fact, they seem to be very important. And no part of the Bible describes celebrating with Eggs and Bunnies. But it’s also true that there is a long history of Christians and Christianity shining light on darkness, bringing the TRUTH to places that were previously living in pagan confusion. It appears historically accurate that while the ancient origins of “Easter” and the bunny and the eggs were steeped deeply in pagan fertility rituals, Christians came in and took that over, replacing pagan rituals with Christian truth. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. In fact, it reminds me of Paul when he arrives in Athens. Do you know this story? It’s from Acts 17:23, which says: “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.” So you have Paul heading into the most pagan place he could find, Athens, full of monuments to dozens or hundreds of pagan “gods”. What does Paul do? Does he say I can’t come to your city? Does he say I can’t talk to you, can’t be around you, can’t engage with you? No. He goes straight into the darkness and finds a way to relate to what they are doing, and uses that as a bridge to introduce them to the one true God. And that’s what Christians have done historically in many contexts, but especially here. They took a pagan fertility ritual and commandeered it to instead proclaim the truth of Jesus and his resurrection. So back to the big question: what are we to do with this information? Some people go as far as to say they’re not celebrating “Easter” at all. They skip church, skip the whole thing, and pretend like it’s not happening. That doesn’t feel right to me and I’m not advocating for that. I think there’s a balance to be struck here…. Failing to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection just because it has the name “Easter” or some people use bunnies and eggs feels like the wrong outcome to me. I think we do what the Church has always historically done. I think we continue to shine light into the darkness…. That’s my pushback to people who say we should immediately stop celebrating Easter. But here’s my pushback to those who know this truth and continue to promote the Bunny and the Eggs often MORE than you talk about Jesus — it’s time for you to change too. It’s time to demote the Bunny and the Eggs. You want to have an Easter egg hunt at your home for the kids? Fine, I say go for it. Just make sure that equal or greater attention is given to Jesus and his Resurrection. So there you go, there’s the REST of the story, as Paul Harvey would say. Now you know the historical truth and my thoughts on how we should all deal with that going forward. On a related topic, I’d also like to talk about this: Memo To The Legacy Media: We Are CHRISTIANS, Not “Evangelicals” Every election cycle something very strange happens… Suddenly a new word pops up again in the Legacy Media. A word not used in the other 3 non-election cycle years…. A word never used in real life by any Christians that I know, certainly a word Christians do not use to describe themselves. That word is “Evangelical”. I’ve been ranting about it for a little bit on Twitter but I thought I would bring the rant over here and publish a full article about it: Note: we are CHRISTIANS! Not “Evangelicals”. “Evangelicals” is a word the MSM made up so they didn’t have to say “Christian”. pic.twitter.com/pxHrBjDi5f — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) January 18, 2024 And by the way, stop saying “Evangelicals”. That’s a word the MSM adopted so they didn’t have to say “Christian”. Memo to the MSM: we’re not an Evangelical Voting Block…. We are CHRISTIANS and we VOTE! pic.twitter.com/9ZZUiG3Jxv — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) January 17, 2024 It’s real simple….we are CHRISTIANS, not “Evangelicals”. “Evangelicals” is a word the Legacy Media invented decades ago because they didn’t want to keep saying the word “Christian” when describing, well….Christians! So they created a substitute. A substitute word that is used by no one, anywhere, except by the MSM when describing political voting blocks of people. So I’m here to call for an end to this nonsense! MEMO TO THE MSM: use the right word, call us what we are — CHRISTIANS! I’ve been around a lot of churches, known a lot of pastors, known a lot of Christians, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that never in my life have I ever heard any Christian identify themselves as an “Evangelical”. Oh sure, “Evangelical” is a word and a concept in the Bible — absolutely! The word for “evangelical” in Greek is “ευαγγελικός” (pronounced as ev-ahn-ge-lee-KOS). This word is derived from the Greek “εὐαγγέλιον” (euangelion), meaning “good news” or “gospel.” It’s just that it’s not used to refer to a voting block of people in the 21st century….it’s a word that means Good News, or Gospel! Remember when Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama all referred to us as “Easter Worshippers”? NEVER FORGET when Hillary Clinton referred to the terrorist attack against Christians as “Easter worshippers.” pic.twitter.com/FVXr6r7Fe4 — Katie Daviscourt (@KatieDaviscourt) April 17, 2022 Just as we are not “Easter Worshippers” we are also not “Evangelicals”. DC_Draino gets it — as usual. This is spot on: They call us “Easter Worshippers” They only allow “Happy Holidays” to be said Why? Because they refuse to say his name: Christ — DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) November 22, 2020 The reason they call us Easter Worshippers and Evangelicals is because they will do ANYTHING to avoid saying “Christ” or “CHRISTians”. Now does it all make sense? So please share this message… Let’s do a little “euangelion” of our own, shall we? Please share this GOOD NEWS and let the world know we are not Easter Worshippers, and we are also not “Evangelicals”….we are CHRISTians! Thank you. Noah out.
