“Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.” – Pete Hegseth
As I sat down to write today’s post, I tried to think about something pithy to write. Then, I realized that today is not a day for witticisms and sarcasm.
I thought about all of the American lives, all of the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives out of love and devotion for our Sovereign Nation and their fellow Americans, both their comrades and their families back home.
The unselfish devotion shown by these brave Americans is made fun of and remains the source of derision by many devotees of the anti-American political philosophy who consider themselves to be the “smartest people in the room”.
WThese same “enlightened” individuals consider “patriotism” to be a bad word.
They have replaced it words like “nationalism” and “jingoism”.
The devotees of this political philosophy do not believe in American Exceptionalism.
They believe that America is “just another country”, certainly not worthy of sacrificing their lives for.
These people just don’t get it.
Freedom is not free.
That is why brave men and women of the past and the present age have fought and died while wearing the uniforms of our Armed Forces.
When they went into battle, they did not just represent their hometowns…they represented all of us.
From the germ of an idea to the greatest country on the face of God’s green Earth, this country has stood strong because of resolute men and women who were willing to “pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” to protect “The Shining City Upon a Hill”.
Today, standing up and being vocal in our opposition to those who would “radically change” EVERYTHING that these American Heroes and Heroines fought and died for is our “charge to keep”.
Because…
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” – John 15:13-17
May God bless and comfort the families of our Fallen Heroes, and may their memories and our American Freedom endure.
Is it just me, or have those who used to be the “Moderate” Democratic Party traveled as far to the left on the Political Spectrum as they can go?
Growing up, there used to not be much difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
Now, it’s like night and day.
Let’s face it.
The Democratic Party has devolved into a bunch of Marxists wanting our Constitutional Republic to turn into a cradle to grave totalitarian government, managing our entire lives for us and taking away our individual freedom for the good of the State.
The “resident” in the White House who was installed like a toilet calls those of us who believe in traditional American Faith and Values “Nationalists”.
That’s funny…
All my life, I’ve thought of myself and the majority of the people I graduated high school with as average Americans.
High school friends of mine served in the military, others became doctors, lawyers, and tradesmen and women and have contributed a great deal to society.
The majority of them have always put their family and their faith first along with their country.
Nowadays, the ruling party has done a 180 claiming that traditional American Faith and Values are something that average Americans don’t want any part of.
They celebrate the ability to kill babies at any part of the pregnancy. They celebrate what we used to refer to as sexual perversion. And, they celebrate hiring people who aren’t qualified for jobs simply because of the color of their skin.
I remember a very famous man who unfortunately met his end in my hometown of Memphis Tennessee, who said that he wanted to be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin. And that was something that the majority of the people whom the present generation call “Boomers” believed in as well.
If, after this upcoming election in November of 2024, we find ourselves with a new president, hopefully we can begin to turn things around to where Americans value each other for their character and their abilities instead of being a check-off in a box on a form.
Also, I hope that we all remember to show gratitude to the One who gave us this country and, as was written by our Founding Fathers, gave us our rights.
Our rights do not come from a central government. They come from God.
However, as I mentioned earlier, we have people in power who want to be god. And when that happens to a country, that country comes to a dismal end…because man will always come up short when he tries to be god.
One last thing, I thank God for the men and women whom we remember this weekend who made the ultimate sacrifice for us to be free. May God bless their memories, and may He hold those whom they left behind in the hollow of His hand.
“What is democracy? The trail of broken promises still leaves Black communities behind. What is democracy? You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does it mean? As you’ve heard before, to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure.” (President Joe Biden Morehouse Graduation Commencement Address Courtesy FoxNews.com)
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re Black, or Brown, or White or whatever the hell color you are, it doesn’t matter. We are all Americans and we’re going to pull together as Americans.” (Former President Donald J Trump South Bronx Rally Courtesy FoxBusiness.com)
Liberal Democrats have taken the votes of black Americans for granted for a long time now.
The Democrats, decades after the advent of LBJ’s “Great Society”, naturally assume that they are going to get the majority of black Americans’ votes in every Presidential Election.
They not only expect it, they rely on it.
However, the problem that Biden and his handlers face is the fact that Trump has made great inroads into securing some of that “expected” support from black American Voters.
In fact, national polls show that 23% of black Americans plan on voting for Donald J Trump this November.
Why is that?
The undeniable reality is the fact that the racial animus and violence tearing apart America’s cities is all because of failed Democrat politicians and policies.
Also, Biden’s inflation and high gas and grocery prices have hit black Americans just as hard as they have hit the pocketbook of every other working American.
Finally, the Illegal Alien Invasion has really affected black Americans living in Sanctuary Cities.
Democrat Municipal leaders have literally displaced black Americans by pushing them out of low-income housing through the stipends given to the illegals, they have used school buses and community centers to house illegals as well, giving black children no place to safely play and no place for them to be while their parents go to work to provide for them.
By the way, Hispanic Americans living in sanctuary cities also face the same difficulties as all Americans face under this dystopian failed Administration.
Why did I post those two quotes above?
I believe that we are at a turning point.
More and more Americans of all colors are becoming aware that the Democratic Party feeds off of racial division. Their power grows the more divided Americans become.
It is through this division that they hope to control our lives from cradle to grave.
By making Americans distrust one another, they can politically divide us and therefore satisfy their lust for power by remaining in office in perpetuity.
Trump threatens them because he is a uniter. He is a great communicator.
If you watched that rally on Thursday night, you saw how thousands of Americans were riveted to every word Trump spoke.
He wasn’t talking down to them
He was talking to them.
That is what makes him different from most of the professional politicians who are already in Washington DC. That is also why so many of them are out to keep him from returning to the presidency.
Americans are ready for a positive message and that is what Donald J Trump is bringing.
They are ready to believe in America again.
They’re ready to believe in one another again.
Americans are ready to stand united and make America great again.
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-7
By now, you all probably know that Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs gave a commencement speech to Benedictine College Graduates.
In his speech, he talked about traditional American values along with things such as morality, ethics, and the Biblical and traditional roles of men and women, and their importance to American society.
And, Far Left Democrats lost their minds.
Why?
It was the way that my generation was raised. You know, the generation that the younger generation is derisively calling “Boomers”.
There’s a reason that those on the Left of the Political Spectrum are reacting so negatively to the speech made by Harrison Butker.
It was against everything that they base their current political ideology on.
Things which they have tried so hard to label as divisive, misogynistic, old-fashioned, and culturally “ignorant.”
Butker bravely spoke out about a lot of things that those young graduates needed to hear.
Things that are more important than culturally-driven platitudes and politically-inspired notions of right and wrong.
He spoke of the things that really matter.
Things which involve honor, courage, and most importantly, reverence toward the One Who Made Us.
America was founded by men and women of faith who left their home countries so that they could worship freely without restrictions and without the government coming down on them with an iron fist.
As we have been witnessing in the last few decades, America has been moving away from our initial beliefs as a country.
That is why we are beginning to circle down the old porcelain receptacle.
We have allowed weak men of questionable morals and situational ethics to dictate to us how we should live our lives instead of listening to the God of Abraham.
Butker caught a lot of heat because he spoke about the importance of women in the home.
And, he spoke out against the killing of the unborn in the womb.
Of course, the Far Left did not like that at all.
Nowhere in the speech did he say that women shouldn’t work. He just said, and rightly so, if they are a wife and a mother, after God, their next priority should be their family.
That goes for husbands as well. A house is a building. A family built upon the Solid Rock makes it a home.
America began to erode when the government decided that it could do a better job of raising children than the Traditional Family Unit could.
In order for America to prosper, traditional families should be championed, not torn asunder.
God meant for men and women to work together and lead children in the way in which they should go.
Without that foundation, it is very hard for young people to strive toward individual achievement.
Harrison Butker should be commended and appreciated for speaking the truth to the graduates of Benedictine College.
I believe that most Americans appreciate what Harrison Butker did. From what is being reported, his football jerseys are selling through the roof to both men and women.
It will be interesting to watch and see if this will signal the beginning of a cultural movement back toward Traditional American Faith and Values, which I believe that the silent majority of Americans still hold dear.
“Executive privilege is designed to respect constitutional separation of powers and to enable a president to engage in candid conversations with his top advisers in order to form judgments and reach decisions,” [It] is not designed to hide information that may prove to be embarrassing to a president or some other government official or operation,” – former Federal Prosecutor John Malcom of the Heritage Foundation (Courtesy FoxNews.com)
This past week, President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege in order to stop the transcript of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur from being made public.
“Special counsel Robert Hur’s portrait of a man who couldn’t remember when he served as Barack Obama’s vice president, or the year when his beloved son Beau died, dealt a blow to Biden’s argument that he is still sharp and fit enough to serve another four-year term.
In deciding not to charge Biden with any crimes, the special counsel wrote that in a potential trial, “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Biden’s mental impairment is worse than just being forgetful. His dementia is so advanced that he can not find his way off of a stage without assistance.
He says inappropriate things and he tends to wander off if somebody’s not watching him.
His handlers have had to adjust his trip from the White House to Marine One to include having Secret Service agents and assistance surrounding him so the public will not notice the halting gait of an elderly man.
Biden is like the emperor who had no clothes on but thought that he did.
What has been seen can not be unseen.
The entire world has seen his behavior and has heard him speak. The videos we have watched on the news were not edited.
The only videos of Biden that are edited are when they are produced by the White House. They have to do several takes in order to make him appear coherent.
That is why the White House demanded that the upcoming debates against former President Trump be held without an audience. That is also why the moderators are all Biden stooges.
His handlers are desperately trying to maintain their hiding of Biden’s rapidly declining condition. They’re trying to keep him in office, at least until the Democratic Convention.
If the transcript of the interview with the Special Counsel were to make it to the light of day, they would no longer be able to keep up the ruse which they have perpetuated on the American people since before the 2020 Presidential Election.
If the transcript comes out, Biden will be forced to leave office and clueless Kamala Harris would become president.
Dwell on that for a few moments.
In their lust for power, the Democratic Party has placed America in even more danger than they already have, possibly forcing us to choose between “Dumb and Dumber”.
“An enormous crowd descended upon Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday for former President Donald Trump’s rally in the traditionally Democrat state, and the official estimate of spectators in attendance was updated after the event to more than 100,000 attendees.
A senior Trump campaign aide told Breitbart News shortly before the rally that estimates were that 80,000 were in attendance–but clearly that underestimated the numbers.
Lisa Fagan, the spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, told the Associated Press the official estimate was between 80,000 and 100,000 rally-goers in attendance to see Trump:
A Trump campaign source told Breitbart News that after the event began, Fagan updated her official estimate to begin telling people there were more than 100,000 people there to see Trump.
Hours before Trump was scheduled to deliver remarks, the energy was palpable in Wildwood, where the outdoor venue can reportedly accommodate as many as 40,000 people, per NJ.com.
One America News National Political Correspondent Daniel Baldwin shared a video of the packed venue, reporting one source estimated some 80,000 people descended on the Jersey Shore for the rally. The New York Post’s Diana Glebova also reported the figure, citing the Trump campaign.
“Thousands upon thousands are here in Wildwood. It reminds me of Pickens, South Carolina when President Trump brought 50,000 for Fourth of July,” Baldwin noted around noon. “History is repeating itself in NJ.”

Over 100,000 people gathered on a beach yesterday to see and hear a former President of the United States of America whom the opposition party is trying to put in jail so that he won’t be president again.
If the Democrat Elite thought that they were going to win the hearts and Minds of Americans by waging non-stop Political Lawfare against Donald J Trump, they were sorely mistaken.
They overestimated their own intelligence.
President Trump was as entertaining and as full of life as he’s ever been, connecting with Americans in a way that Joe Biden and the rest of the professional politicians in Washington never have and never will.
Americans like Trump.
He talks like one of them. He speaks directly to them, and he does not talk down to them.
He stands for the values that Americans have grown up with. Values such as individual freedom, the right to worship as they please, the right to make a living and prosper economically, and the right not to have government involved in every aspect of their day-to-day lives.
The modern Democratic Party stands for just the opposite.
Now, they will tell you they don’t, but their actions during the last three and a half years speak louder than their words ever will.
The modern Democrat Party has moved to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum and have become champions of causes that only a minority of Americans approve of. They support sexual deviance, grooming school children, aborting babies, and giving away free money so that people will lose all incentive to go out and fend for themselves.
They also care more about foreign countries and our enemies than they do about us, the people who gave them their phony bologney jobs
They don’t believe in America First. They believe in America Last.
Look at the way that Biden says that he is going to betray our greatest Ally in the Middle East, Israel, by withholding weapons from Israel so that they cannot finish their mission of wiping Hamas off the face of the Earth.
Hamas slaughtered 1,400 innocent of right Israelis on October 7th of last year. These victims included babies which they put into others and cooked.
And, the Biden Administration wants to support barbarians like this?
Former President Trump is promising to undo every cockamamie law and Executive Order that has been put in place by Biden, his handlers, and their cronies in Congress.
Trump had America prospering before the Chinese attacked us with COVID-19.
He can and will do it again if he is elected next November.
And, after the showing he made last night, I believe that he will do that. He will do the exact things that he is promising.
And, that scares the Democrats to death.
That’s why they’re trying to put him in jail.
I guarantee you that the Democrat Elite were on the phone with each other in a state of panic after Trump’s Rally yesterday.
It is going to be a lot of fun watching them circle down the old porcelain receptacle as they try all of their political chicanery to keep him from becoming president again.
12 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
All of my adult life I have watched with stunned incredulity, as Liberal Americans have vocally castigated the country of Israel for defending themselves against the violent factions of once-nomadic tribes, who wish for nothing else than the annihilation of both the country of Israel and their citizenry.
The irony of their naiveté, is the fact that, in the 1960’s, American Liberals were among some of Israel’s strongest supporters.
However, as of this writing, they have led a surge of anti-semitism and are backing the Palestinians and the Terrorist Organization known as Hamas, which the overwhelming majority of the Palestinians voted into office.
Opposing God’s Chosen People and supporting the historically nomadic people that call themselves “Palestinians” fits with today’s Far Left Democrats’ Political Ideology, which views modern political struggles as “Class Warfare”, being waged between race and ethnic groups. They believe that the predominantly white West is somehow subjugating the non-white rest of the world. This viewpoint is an extension of the class-based, rich versus poor, categories, which they intentionally classify people in, following the example of their fallen messiah, Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) and the professional spokespeople and agitators who have been allowed in this country under the guise of diversity.
We sit in a country that has been split wide open by this polarizing political ideology, which ignores the principles, traditions, and values, both religious and secular, that America was founded on.
America was founded by Christian men and women. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Our first President, George Washington, would reflect on the blessings which the Creator had bestowed upon this country in his speeches, as has every president after him until very recently.
For this current president to stand with radical Islamic terrorists who slaughtered 1,300 innocent Israelis is not only disgusting, it’s abhorrent.
This should not be happening here in the country that was once known as the Shining City Upon a Hill.
America has been tarnished with evil politicians who think only of power, money, and prestige.
We also have an issue with the younger generation who were not raised in the way in which they should go.
As I’ve said before, they are a bunch of useful idiots who the Far Left and professional agitators from other countries are using to “radically change” our Sovereign Nation.
And now, the President of the United States of America, in his senile old age, is standing with them because his handlers have told them that he needs their support in order to be reelected, so that they can further their plans to build a totalitarian government which will only increase their power and their time in office in Washington, DC.
The Republicans in the House of Representatives are working on impeaching Biden over withholding weapons from our greatest ally, israel.
This will not work because the Democrats and the Vichy Republicans will not vote to move it forward.
The only way that we are going to change the downhill trajectory of our Sovereign Nation is to return to the Faith of our Founding Fathers and to change who is the president of our country.
The poll you see above is courtesy of the Laura Ingraham show on Fox News.
If you’ll notice, Biden’s approval rating is the lowest in decades.
Even presidents who were being proclaimed as the worst ever, had higher ratings than Sleepy Joe.
Why is that?
Well, it’s because of his entire three plus years of abyssimal governance.
Americans are maxing out their credit cards and wondering how they’re going to pay for gas and groceries.
They’ve also seen him, through his lack of intelligence, give Afghanistan back to the Taliban while killing American soldiers in the process.
They’ve seen him introduce Bidenomics, which just made everything worse while touting his employment numbers, which are buoyed up by government jobs and part-time positions.
They’ve seen him get lost on a stage or two or three to the point where someone like his wife, “Dr.” Jill had to lead him off like you would any other senile old man.
And now, instead of condemning the anti-American Pro Hamas protests on college campuses, he comes out yesterday and tries to draw an equivalency between those protesting on college campuses in support of the barbarians of Hamas and those who were counter-protesting in support of God’s chosen people in Israel and their right to keep their country.
So, you want to know why Biden’s approval rating is so low?
It’s because he’s been treading water for almost 4 years, and now it’s over his head.
Americans want leadership.
They want a president who will make things better like Donald J Trump did.
They’re tired of our White House being a nursing home.
The New York Police Department has identified Professional Protestor Lisa Fithian as one of those who have been involved in the pro-Hamas uprising at Columbia University, which included taking maintenance workers hostage in the building in which the Dean’s office was and barricading themselves inside until Tuesday night when they were, shall we say, escorted out of the building by New York’s Finest.
I am sure that Lisa Fithian was not the only professional protester and outside agitator stirring the anti-Semitic pot at Columbia University.
I decided to learn more about her. I went to my favorite source concerning such matters, discoverthenetworks.org.
Here is a quick overview of her “accomplishments”:
“* Longtime community organizer and direct-action agitator * A key organizer of the violent demonstrations that caused the shutdown of the 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle * Served as a human shield in actions conducted by the International Solidarity Movement in the Palestinian cities of Jenin and Nablus * Has accused Israel of “slaughter[ing] Palestinians every single day in Gaza and the Occupied territories” * Seeks to “create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible” * The top street-level organizer of the Occupy Wall Street movement”
But, wait…there’s more…
“In 2003, Fithian spent several weeks working with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) — which actively cooperates with such terrorist entities as Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — in the Palestinian cities of Jenin and Nablus. There, she acted as a human shield abetting ISM’s effort to prevent Israel from razing the homes of Palestinian extremists and terrorists.
Fithian has revealed her antipathy for Israel on other occasions as well. At a May 31, 2010 protest in Texas, she publicly accused the Jewish state of “slaughter[ing] Palestinians every single day in Gaza and the Occupied territories,” and called for “an end” to “the U.S. tax dollars that fund that [Israeli] occupation.” During the same event, fellow demonstrators chanted such slogans as “Long live Intifada!” and “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea!”—unambiguous calls for the permanent dissolution of Israel.
A supporter of the pro-Hamas Free Gaza Movement, Fithian was slated to be a passenger in a June 2011 flotilla to Gaza, but the voyage was ultimately cancelled.”
What a sweetheart, huh?
All of that information got me to thinking about everything we have seen during these anti-semitic uprisings on our college campuses.
How many professional protesters like Lisa Fithian have been working behind the scenes on our college campuses along with Hamas supporters and agitators who aren’t even students to finish the job of brainwashing and indoctrinating young minds full of mush to be loyal foot soldiers of Hamas?
You may say I’m exaggerating and that I’m paranoid, but I don’t believe that I am.
If you’ll go back to just after the turn of the century in Russia, to disparate groups, the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks got together behind a student of Karl Marx’s named Vladimir Lenin and succeeded in overthrowing the Czar and establishing a Marxist Nation. Later, during World War II, the Arabs and the Nazis became allies because of their mutual anti-semitism.
What I’m trying to say with all this is that we need to get this under control now.
Stepping back and looking at this, there is too much coordination for this all to be a Grassroots movement.
From the fact that the same tents are being used across the country in all of the Pro-Hamas activist encampments that have sprung up on college campuses, to the infiltration of outside agitators and professional protesters on campuses, it is very apparent that the breaking out of anti-Semitic protests on college campuses from coast to coast has been carefully planned, organized, and funded for the purpose of causing disruption in our American way of life.
And now, with the leaked information that the Biden White House is considering flying in 100,000 Palestinian “refugees,” it makes this whole situation smell even worse.
The former President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump, was fined $9,000 yesterday and threatened with jail time for speaking out against an unjust trial which is based on a charge that the Soros-bought-and-paid-for District Attorney had not even publicly announced.
Judge Juan Merchan is a Biden donor, and his daughter, Loren Merchan, is the head of a digital marketing agency Authentic Campaigns, which works with Democratic candidates and non-profits, including Kamala Harris.
The reason for the fine was that the judge had put Trump under an unjust Gag Order to prevent him from blowing the whistle on the whole corrupt fraudulent indictment brought against him.
Trump wa speaking out against Michael Cohen, his ex attorney who has already been convicted for lying.
That conviction, however, did not stop District Attorney Bragg from making him his Star Witness.
The presumptive Republican Presidential Candidate can not speak about the political trial that is going on that is keeping him off the campaign trail. However, a convicted liar can go on television and talk about him.
This whole corrupt trial is being presided over in a biased manner that makes Judge Roy Bean look like Thurgood Marshall.
The good news is the fact that former President Donald J Trump’s popularity continues to grow and his lead over installed President Joe Biden continues to grow as well, even in the CNN polls, in which Trump leads Biden by almost at 7%.
The Democrats are about to be crushed by a political machination of their own creation.
Average Americans can see corruption plainly in all of the Political Lawfare brought against former President Trump as clearly as they see the high gas prices, mortgage rates, and grocery bills that are plaguing Americans to the point where a lot of Americans have had to max out their credit cards in order to continue living their daily lives.
The Democrats thought that they could get rid of Trump by weaponizing our Justice System against him.
What they do not understand and possibly never will is the fact that Americans do not agree with their Marxist political ideology and do not want somebody to tell them how to live from cradle to grave.
Americans love their individual freedom.
The Democrats’ Trump Derangement Syndrome is going to cost them the 2024 Presidential Election.
And, for the future of our children and grandchildren, that is a good thing.
