Let us always remember the price of freedom. A tribute to our fallen soldiers who fought for our freedom.
I have reproduced here the first post that Sundance over at CTH has done on the Durham Report. A bit lengthy but the time spent understanding it is worth it.
One of the news items floating around recently has been the idea that Ukraine will be receiving F-16’s to use against Russia. Anyone who seriously understands the operational characteristics of an F-16 knows that this is a really stupid idea.
Navy Cmdr. Angela Gonzales has been fired as commanding officer of the destroyer USS John Finn, the service announced this weekend.
Vice Adm. Karl Thomas, head of 7th Fleet, relieved Gonzales on May 19 “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to fulfill her responsibilities in leading the ship,” according to the Navy news release, which did not include any specific reasons that prompted Thomas to lose confidence in Gonzales.
For anyone who has been paying the least bit of attention, once again the country is approaching its debt limit. This has been talked about for several months. The Democrats, who want to spend the country into oblivion, have refused to discuss the reining in of any spending on the part of the federal government. Until very recently they have refused to entertain the idea of even talking about spending and any curtailments of that.
In the meantime, the Republicans have passed a bill extending the debt ceiling while incorporating cuts in some federal programs. None of these cuts would affect the big programs like Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. The cuts did affect things like the 87,000 additional IRS agents that would be sent to harass middle America.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has refused to even consider such a bill in the Senate that would entail any decreases in federal spending or even slowing the increase in spending. The Democrats seem to believe that they can do whatever they want to without there being any consequences for their recklessness.
One of the things that characterizes Democratic politicians is the resorting to “emergency powers” whenever possible to thwart legislation that they do not like or that organizations that send money to their campaigns don’t like.
One of the biggest supporters monetarily for Democrats are the teachers’ unions. In North Carolina Senate Bill 406, also known as “Choose Your School, Choose Your Future,” is an initiative to make opportunity scholarships (also known as “vouchers”) available to families of all income levels. This would allow parents to use public school funds allocated for their children and use it to send them to a private school of their choosing.
The abject failure of the DeSantis launch of his presidential campaign on Wednesday reminds me of another spectacular failure that occurred in Florida some 55+ years ago.
Planned Parenthood (what a misnomer that is) wants to expand the Supreme Court in the wake of Roe vs Wade being overturned. According to Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, changes are needed because of the recent attacks “on our democratic rights and our democratic freedoms.”
I wonder what freedoms are being attacked? It couldn’t be the “right” to murder an unborn child, could it? Could it be the “right” to let a baby die that survives an abortion? ...
This is an interesting piece by the Dutchman for how all of us who believe in freedom and liberty should move forward to reclaim our country from the corrupt elites who currently think they can do anything they want without accountability.
American media has become a laughingstock in the world of honest journalism. They hand out Pulitzers now for stories that are fabrications from beginning to end. This is done to sway the public that something real is there when, in reality, ghosts would have more substance.
Honest journalism inside of Big Media does not exist. They’re not even trying anymore, and I wonder if they ever did.
