Memorial Day 2026: Remembering America’s Fallen…A Charge to Keep We Have

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“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.” – Secretary of War 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”.

These same “enlightened” individuals consider “patriotism” to be a bad word.

They have replaced it with 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.

Here is a song by the great Trace Adkins that honors them and the special place where they are laid to rest.

A Tale of Two Countries: Will UK’s Present Be America’s Future?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Yesterday, tens of thousands of protesters marched with the flags of England and Crosses in a protest advocating the preservation of traditional English values in fighting against the Islamic takeover of their Nation.

Today in Washington, DC, there will be a similar event, but it won’t be a protest

Rededicate 250 is a national Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving being held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The event marks the 250th anniversary of the United States by celebrating America’s religious heritage and calling to rededicate the nation as “one nation under God.”

Speakers include President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Cabinet members, and various evangelical and Catholic faith leaders such as Franklin Graham and Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

By now you’re probably wondering where I am going with this. Well, it’s pretty obvious.

The United Kingdom is facing an eradication of their way of life because they haven’t been strong enough to stand up to an invasion which has decimated Eastern Europe by Muslim migrants. It’s not mass immigration as some people call it.

Mass immigration is when a lot of foreigners come into a country to become citizens of that country and to assimilate into the culture.

An invasion, such as the United Kingdom and America have witnessed, is completely opposite. It is when foreigners come into a country, bringing their values and their political ideology, even when it is masquerading as a religion, with them.

They do not seek to coexist, they seek to conquer.

England’s problem, is the fact that their faith has also become a political ideology.

The Church of England was basically part of the monarchy and over the centuries has all but for forsworn Christianity in favor of secularism.

Sure, the rites and “frills” remain within their services, but God’s word has taken a backseat to man’s word. And, the United Kingdom’s weakness in defending their own Christianity has now brought them to this moment.

Meanwhile, in our country, we see the beginnings of what the United Kingdom is facing. We see Christian denominations who have replaced God’s word with man’s word and we have seen a mass invasion of foreigners who do not want to assimilate.

While they want everything America has to offer in terms of our government benefits and our tax money, they do not want to assimilate.

And, the Muslims who have been brought here by naive former Administrations, are now trying to set up their own governments in municipalities and areas to be governed by Sharia law.

Other parts of the Muslim Community are now being investigated for operating daycare centers that were nothing but fraudulent operations designed to swindle American taxpayers’ money.

The bottom line, my fellow Americans, is that if America does not rededicate itself to the Faith of Our Fathers and “Fight the Good Fight”, we will lose “The Shining City Upon a Hill”.

Sunday Thought: Faith, “Concepts”, and a Divided America

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

It’s Sunday. Here’s your quick thought for today.

I was reading this morning about a “Satanic Revival” being held up in Maryland somewhere. It wasn’t the article that caught my attention. It was the comments.

As you can imagine, a lot of laughing emojis and smart alec remarks brushing off the very existence of the Fallen Angel formerly known as Lucifer.

I thought about the rise of malevolent forces that we are bearing witness to in this country in the present age.

We have those living in this country who hate 24/7 for no other reason than hate itself.

They hate the concept of a Constitutional Republic and traditional American faith and values, those things that have kept this country free for going on 250 years this July 4th. They hate the family unit, the bedrock of our nation.

And, most importantly they hate the Triune God, Our Creator, Who gave us our individual rights and freedom at birth.

In the comments of the Facebook article that I read this morning, there were people blowing off Satan as a concept, which I find to be dangerously naive.

If you live your life without the god of Abraham and a wary knowledge that there is such a thing as satanic influence, then you open up the floodgates for chaos and anarchy, not only in your own life but also in the lives of those you care about.

And, if enough people do that, countries become ripe for the pickings by those who espouse an evil political ideology.

The Bible tells us that we are fighting against “princes and principalities”.

In our era these “princes and principalities” do their work through social and political ideologies, which lead to failed nations like Venezuela and Cuba.

I’m not saying that that’s going to happen to America.

However, we sure do seem to be in a battle for the hearts and souls of our nation and its future.

Have a blessed Sunday.

Sunday Morning Thoughts: “A House Divided Against Itself…”

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

Over the next 7 days, 500 participants come including the president of the United States Donald J Trump, are scheduled to read the Bible aloud from cover to cover.

Earlier this week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told a crowd at the University of Texas at Austin that America needs to get back to the principles upon which we were founded.

Justice Thomas is exactly right.

If Jesus Christ were to walk through the streets of our country right now, he would see a country divided.

What I mean by that is He would see one political party who is trying to bting our country back from a spiraling collapse by trying to reemphasize America’s place as a world leader while strengthening our country domestically and attempting to bring back the traditional American faith and values which made our country strong to begin with.

The other political party and their followers are advocating a cradle-to-grave totalitarian government in which 50% or more of taxpayers’ income would be relegated for use by the state to appease those they deem worthy of Americans’ money.

On this side, He would see a political party trying to rewrite the Bible as a book advocating sin, “non-traditional families”, and “fighting fascism”, while the advocates of this political ideology don’t have a clue as to what fascism is

People have taken the word of God and thrown away salvation through repentance by proclaiming that Jesus would accept people’s sin.

Yes, He loves us all, but He hates sin.

And that’s enough of my preaching for today.

The government viewpoint, which those out of power at this moment, are espousing, can be seen in their fight against the elimination of financial corruption in our federal, state, and municipal governments.

You can also see what they really believe in their fight against Israel and their support of Iran and others who would destroy her and her people.

The Israelis are proclaimed by God to be his people in Genesis 12: 1-3.

The bottom line is, unless this country can find its way back to embracing what is right and stop embracing what isn’t, this country could very well eventually be assigned to the Dustbin of History.

As a brother-in-Christ always tells me, it’s not politicians who are going to save this country.

It’s God.

America is on the edge of a precipice looking down into an abyss. We need to find our way back to the Rock on which this country was founded.

Mamdani Makes NYC 250TH July 4th Ball Drop a “Private Event”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

In a little less than 3 months, this great country will be celebrating our 250th birthday. There will be special events from coast to coast with Americans celebrating  all the great blessings that this country gives us including our individual freedom.

However, the American public is not invited to one of the most promising celebrations of our country’s birthday.

“A planned Times Square ball drop for America’s 250th birthday is still on — but you’re not invited.

The New Year’s Eve-style event will continue as planned at midnight on July 3, organizers said Tuesday — in the wake of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new emergency order banning hundreds of public celebrations during the FIFA World Cup in the Big Apple.

But in a bizarre statement Tuesday, organizers said the show will go on anyway — without a crowd.” (Courtesy NYPost.com)

What good is a celebration without a crowd? Are we back to the days of covid where we were all forced by the government to quarantine? Well, this isn’t President Trump ordering this, like President Biden did. As mentioned in the above excerpt, this is a result of an executive order by New York City’s Radical Islamic Communist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

But why?

It’s because New York City will be hosting the FIFA World Cup during those dates and the other countries being in the Big Apple and the international attention it brings is more important to Mamdani and his fellow travelers than allowing the public to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Of course, in addition to broadcasting the event, the sponsors are talking about having a special ticketed in person private crowd allowed.

I have two ideas about that: If it is a paid ticket event, it will no doubt be very expensive and meant for New York’s Democrat Elite. If it is a free event, the tickets will be given to the foreign players from the soccer teams participating in the tournament.

This is just another example of why it was a very stupid move for the New York City voters to elect Zohran Mamdani as their Mayor.

The overwhelming majority of Americans would not elect that Radical Islamic Communist to be dog catcher.

Sunday Quick Thought: Operation Epic Fury Day 1 – Ayatollah Dead …Iranians Celebrate

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Here’s a quick thought for this Sunday: I spent most of the day yesterday watching Fox New’s coverage of the successful military strike by the United States and Israel against Iran that resulted in over 40 Iranian leaders being killed, including the Ayatollah Khomenei.

During the attack, the Iranian Forces struck back using missiles and suicide drones aimed not only at United States Military Bases in the area and Israel, but also at surrounding countries, hitting several airports.

Tbe aftermath of the first day’s attack has been interesting.

Several Democrats on Capitol Hill were upset because Trump did not follow their sacred War Powers Act and confer with them and allow them to vote on whether he should eliminate Iran, the World’s State Sponsor of Islamic Terrorism and a country who has been a danger to the United States of America for 47 years.

Fox News Legal Advisor Gregg Jarrett put it succinctly last night. The War Powers Act is unconstitutional. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution allows the President to do exactly what President Trump did yesterday.

It is not required by the United States for POTUS to seek the permission of anybody, including the self-important, TDS suffering Democrats on Capitol Hill.

It was revealed yesterday afternoon that Americans approved of President Trump’s actions by 54 to 37% in an Insider Poll.

I mean, what American would not?

The Radical Islamic Terrorists who were running Iran had killed a lot of Americans through their roadside bombs and their sponsored proxies, not to mention back in 1993 when they blew up those Marine Barracks in Beirut.

The Democratic Presidential Administrations of Obama and Biden believed that they could negotiate with the barbarians of Iran like you would an English gentleman.

All they did was waste a lot of time and a lot of taxpayers’ money while they emboldened our enemy.

The money that they gave back to Iran, that had been frozen in accounts where they could not get it, was used to buy more arms and finance their proxies against America and Israel.

What prPesident Trump was willing to due yesterday was to cauterize an open wound in America’s National security that had already cost us too much blood.

The videos of Iranians celebrating on the streets of America and back on the streets of Iran, with the women dancing in modern dresses instead of being covered from head to toe, was a wonderful thing to see.

I’m sure that as Operation Epic Fury continues today, we will see more of that.

The Iranian people must take back their country. It is all up to them now.

Buying Greenland is Sound Strategy

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“President Trump’s hemispheric security strategy is geopolitical common sense.
I’ve seen the threat picture, and it’s ominous.

We cannot, in an age of both advanced tactical and digital threats, allow sworn enemies of the United States to set up playgrounds in our backyard. It will not end well if we do.” – Former FBI Asst. Director Dan Bongino

There has been a lot of angst from the Democrat side of the political aisle (and the RINOs as well) over President Trump’s strategy to increase the safety of our hemisphere. The surprise arrest of Nicholas Maduro, bringing him out of Venezuela to New York City to stand trial, shocked the Democrat Elite and political pundits.

Now, Trump is working on acquiring Greenland as a strategic military stronghold to protect us from otherwise easily accomplished northern attacks from Russia and China that would decimate our country.

Needless to say, Denmark, which governs Greenland, and other European countries are not in favor of the strategy and are resisting Trump’s offer to buy Greenland for billions of dollars.

Trump is applying economic pressure on these countries by adding tariffs to them until they agree to the deal.

The Democrat Elite are accusing Trump of being on a power trip because of his efforts to secure our country’s safety.

If you will remember, the previous four years before the American people voted Biden out of office included a nightmarish hell of a Foreign Policy that made America look like a kitten playing with a stuffed mouse on a string.

So far, Trump’s Foreign Policy has worked and has made America stronger. The acquisition of Greenland would continue what has been a winning strategy so far.

The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

According to a recent Gallup poll, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 want to live somewhere other than the United States of America. Why? Well, I would chalk that up to ignorance. There is no other country in this entire world that would offer them the individual freedom and the opportunities for Personal Achievement in their lives that the United States of America does. Also, let’s say they wanted to go to the UK. Right now, the UK has their own problems. There is no such thing as free speech in the UK. You can’t even witness for Christ in the UK. On top of that, the Muslim Invasion that the entirety of Europe has faced has taken over the UK and now they’re trying to figure out how to get them out of the country. Decades of propagandizing and brainwashing against America in our Public Schools, colleges, and universities has caused this, not to mention a politically-biased teaching of American and World History. That is why Charlie Kirk was so important to the fabric of our society. He not only witnessed for Jesus Christ, he was a patriot. More patriots need to take a stand for this country and speak out, correcting all of these fallacies that are shared in the classroom and on social media, not to mention the lies which we see on Legacy Media. For those who want to move to another country, just remember: The grass Is always greener over the septic tank.

Why Did President Trump Call Ilhan Omar “SCUM”? Well…

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Yesterday on social media, President Trump issued the following statement,

“Ilhan Omar’s Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence. 70% of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity.

“Somalia is consistently ranked among the World’s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America! P.S. Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

What prompted him to attack Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar?

Well, it was the following words that she spoke after the assassination of conservative activist / evangelist Charlie Kirk, the most impactful public assassination of a well-known American leader since Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

“Omar said in an interview on CNN, “It’s one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”

“There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate. These people are full of s***, and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.”

“When we say we want a country that’s united, it starts with all of us and all of our actions and we’re not seeing that on the other side of the aisle right now,”

“There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate. These people are full of s***, and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness.”(Courtesy Newsweek.com)

Charlie Kirk was very involved in the re-election of President Trump. He was very close to the whole Trump family for 10 years. In fact, Don Jr. told his Dad that he could see that his Dad felt like Charlie was another son.

I don’t blame President Trump for attacking her.

Omar is everything that the president said she was and more. Like the rest of the “Squad”, she hates America and average Americans.

She hates us because her political ideology disguised as a faith tells her so.

Omar did indeed marry her cousin so that he could come to this country and there’s nothing she won’t do or say to maintain her political power.

She has no idea how many people that Charlie Kirk led to Jesus christ, nor does she care.

She has no idea how many college kids that Charlie Kirk convinced that they can and should think for themselves and make the right choices in life.

Self-absorbed politicians like her and AOC know that a man like Charlie Kirk, who had that much influence over America’s young people, stands in the way of their propagandizing and brainwashing them to follow them in the cause of Democratic Socialism which, if accepted by the majority of Americans, (which I don’t believe it ever will be) will lead to a totalitarian government ruling our individual lives from cradle to grave.

All the false claims being made by the Democrats who are now sounding off in the aftermath of this tragic assassination are a deflection of their own racial animus and downright hatred of the American way of life.

This hatred that we are seeing from them is not only political. It is demonic.

They have no sense of decorum and their lust for political power and absolute control.

All Charlie Kirk wanted was to be able to debate cultural issues in a civil manner and to show the folly of those who’ve been led down a dark path individual please well introducing college kids to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Omar and all of her fellow travelers are calling good evil and evil good. The majority of Americans are not fooled by them.

Charlie Kirk’s good works will continue thanks to the resolve of his beautiful wife and those who believe in his cause.

Thank God.

Independence Day 2025: “A Republic, If You Can Keep It”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

On September 17th, 1787 on the last day of the Constitutional Convention being held in Philadelphia, 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin, in excruciating pain from kidney stones and gout, participated in a moment like no other in American history as he and our other Founding Fathers affixed their names to our Constitution, written as a guide for the form of government which they had fought so hard to give birth to through revolution and hard work, a cause which they had pledged their fortunes and sacred honor to.

On this American holiday upon which we celebrate our independence as a Sovereign Nation, born and maintained by the sweat and blood of courageous Americans, men and women who loved this country, it’s time to reflect on where we are, how we got here, and where we’re headed.

On November 19th, 1863, on the site of the bloody Battle of Gettysburg, a tired and worn out President Abraham Lincoln gave a monumental address in which he stated that

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.“

That word “Liberty” is an often misunderstood and complex word.

Yes, it means that as Americans, you have the individual freedom to make decisions for you and your family.

However, Liberty comes with responsibility. It comes with a responsibility to provide for your family, to love and cherish not only your family and your friends and Neighbors, but also to love and cherish America, a sacred land provided for us by Our Creator.

Americans love their individual freedom. However, a lot of American citizens tend to forget the responsibilities that come with it.

After the actions Americans have witnessed by those who wish to change America into something that those who sacrificed their lives, fortune, and sacred honor to bequeath to us, it is time to reclaim the “The Shining City Upon the Hill” that they gave us.

I am not advocating reclaiming our American Heritage through violence, anarchy, and mob rule “democracy” as we’ve been witnessing the past several years by those who wish to radically change America.

I am talking about using the tools found in the wondrous document that our Founders signed that day in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention.

What we have witnessed the last several days as those who we elected to serve us have bickered back and forth over President Donald J Trump’s Big Beautiful bill, finally voting it into law for the president’s signature, is how our government was created to work.

Those who have been paying for and participating in these AstroTurf protests proclaiming “No More Kings!”, have no clue as to what living under an actual totalitarian government would be like.

Our Founders did.

“As the last names were being signed, Franklin, in a personal aside to some other members, made an observation about the chair that Washington had been sitting in as he presided over the Convention. The chair had an emblem of half of a sun. Franklin noted that artists often have a hard time distinguishing between a rising and a setting sun in their artwork. “I have often and often, in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: but now at length, I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising and not a setting sun.” (Courtesy nps.gov)

As Dr. Franklin was leaving the signing of our Constitution, a woman named Elizabeth Willing Powell asked him,

“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”

Franklin replied,

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

In order for the sun to continue shining upon our Constitutional Republic, we have to embrace the responsibilities of Liberty in order to hold on to this Sacred Land given to us by our Creator.

A Charge to Keep We Have.

Until He Comes,
