1962 Brenda 2026

Brenda Banfield Cooper

December 14, 1962 — April 12, 2026

Brenda (Banfield) Cooper, 63, of  New York passed away on April 12, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born to Lawrence Banfield Sr. and June (Banfield) Voorheis, Brenda lived a life defined by kindness, laughter, and a deep devotion to the people and animals she cared for. She was married to the love of her life Michael Cooper, and together they shared countless adventures - especially their many fishing trips, which brought Brenda so much joy.

Brenda was a proud mother to Krystle Bain, Austin May (Sarah), and Falisha Cooper Fuller (Josh). She adored her six grandchildren - Devin, Matthew, Kevin, Mikayla, Konnor, and John - and took every opportunity to spoil them. To her children's friends, she was simply "Mom," a testament to her open heart and welcoming spirit.

A lifelong animal lover, Brenda rescued and rehabilitated many wild animals over the years. Her compassion extended to everyone she met, and her light-hearted, fun-loving nature made her a joy to be around.

Brenda worked for many years at South Seneca Schools as a teachers aid and Challenge Industries as an employment advisor, where she touched countless lives with her patience, encouragement, and belief in others.

She is survived by her siblings Jacqueline Jacobs (Jake), Bridget Lorow (Tom), and Lawrence Banfield Jr. (Patti). She was predeceased by her mother, June Voorheis; her father Lawrence Banfield Sr; and her stepfather Douglas Voorheis. Brenda also shared a special lifelong bond with her best friends and family members, Mary and George Davis.

Per Brenda's wishes, there will be no calling hours or services.

We will miss you, Brenda -your laughter, your kindness, your fierce love for family, and the way you made every life you touched a little brighter.

Love them while you have them.

 

 

A Clusterfuck, who could have predicted that.

New York’s Ammunition Background Check System: An Expensive Wreck?

 

The database requires detailed personal information about the purchaser: name, “up to five additional names/aliases,” residential address, date of birth, height, weight, race, ethnicity, “prior military status,” country and place of birth, citizenship, whether and what driver’s license or government-issued identification the person has, social security number, contact information, and (for ammunition buys) the manufacturer, the “Ammunition Identification Number,” the caliber and amount of ammunition being purchased. (The State Police guide for dealers has, out of a total of 21 pages, devoted eight to the initial personal information needed.)

Even worse, an improper denial means the person has to appeal to the State Police and wait out the appeal period of up to 30 days before being able to purchase ammunition. Tom King, the executive director of the New York Rifle & Pistol Association and the holder of a state pistol permit for over 40 years, was denied when he tried to buy shotgun shells, and has since appealed. “They’re denying everybody I’ve talked to,” he said.

Meteorologists, Scientists Explain Why There Is 'No Climate Emergency'

Meteorologists, Scientists Explain Why There Is 'No Climate Emergency'

 

 He said one example is a recent research paper that estimated that changes in the sun’s output could explain 70 to 80 percent of global warming. Research such as that doesn’t gain much traction because the IPCC is committed to the idea that human CO2 is the cause of global warming.

As further criticism, Mr. Alexander said John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the director of the Earth System Science Center, has clearly demonstrated that climate models exaggerate short-term future warming by two to three times.

To find more accurate measurements, Mr. Christy and Roy Spencer, a climatologist, former NASA scientist, and now a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, developed a global temperature data set from microwave satellite observations.

They started their project in 1989, analyzed data going back to 1979, and found that, in general, since 1979, the Earth’s temperature has increased steadily by 0.23 degrees Fahrenheit every 10 years, according to global satellite data, Mr. Spencer said on his website.

As for why climate models are so inaccurate, Mr. Alexander said: “Computer simulations are only as reliable as the assumptions that the computer model is built on, and there are many assumptions that go into climate models. Assumptions about processes we don’t fully understand require approximations.

Lot of Red Flags

‘Lot of Red Flags’: Florida Surgeon General Warns Against New Covid-19 "Vaccines"

 

 Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, warned that there was “no evidence” of the upcoming COVID-19 vaccines being safe for human beings and suggested that people may be better off not getting these new jabs.

“We all know there’s a new vaccine that’s coming around the corner, [a] new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. And there’s essentially no evidence ‘for it. There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people, there’s been no clinical trial showing that it is a safe product for people. And not only that, but then there are a lot of red flags,” Dr. Ladapo said on Thursday during a news conference with Governor Ron DeSantis.

I remember well, "The Patriot Act" was already written waiting for this.

Everyone came together in the days after the attacks, but in hindsight 9/11 looks like the moment when everything started to fall apart. 

 

Was 9/11 the beginning of the end for America? In the 22 years since the attacks, I’ve begun to worry that the answer to that question is “yes.”

It spawned the worst and most destructive foreign policy in the country’s history. The government response to 9/11 birthed the constitutional abomination that is the modern warrantless surveillance state. The Patriot Act enabled the government to weaponize its vast resources against its own people.

 From the Federalist.

Ivermectin Is a Proven Cure for Covid. Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Different. - LewRockwell: During the years of the Covid-19 Deception, I reported that Covid was rare in those parts of Africa where Ivermectin was used weekly as a preventative of river blindness and HCQ was used as a preventative of malaria.  I also reported that large parts of India used Ivermectin as a preventative and cure and was little bothered by Covid.  The same in Brazil and Peru.  Wherever Ivermectin was used there were no excess deaths.  Eventually the Japanese recognized Ivermectin’s virtue and adopted it as the official cure as the much touted “vaccine” proved to provide no protection but posed a serious threat to life … Continue reading →

Why is the IRS Buying .40-Caliber Submachine Guns? 

 he IRS has been steppng up its purchases of guns and ammunition even more over the last two years, gobbling up nearly $700,000 in ammo in early 2022. That bulk purchase prompted Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jeff Duncan (R-SC) to introduce the “Disarm the IRS Act,” to prohibit the IRS from buying ammunition. Of course, this bill was dead on arrival because the Uniparty in Washington, which includes all Democrats and a solid majority of Republicans, are all for a militarized federal government. They hate Americans and do not represent Americans. They are globalists whose allegiance is to the military-industrial-biosecurity complex.

The IRS is not alone in this militarization.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has also purchased hundreds of .40-caliber submachine guns, presumably for making raids on independent food producers. They have a special hatred for the Amish (See Food Supply Attack: U.S. Government Raided and Shut Down Golden Valley Farms, an Independent Meat Producer)

The USDA raided the Fisher family’s farm in Farmville, Virginia, and seized their livestock and meat-processing facility as the state condemned and seized their property. They are Amish.

The Small Business Administration has also made bulk purchases of guns and ammo. Health and Human Services has done the same.
