My, My ~
So much is going on that is infuriating, mind-boggling, frustrating, amazing, inspiring and just plain awesome, that I don’t even know where to start with it all. It’s all just buzzing around in my head and coming at me faster than I can process it. This tells me I just need to do some watching for now. It appears we’re in a holding pattern on a lot of things anyway, so it’s a ‘wait and see’ time.
Plus, there are a lot of home-based things that need tending to and my local Rolling Thunder Chapter events are gearing up and there’s that hateful filing still needing to be done. Not enough hours in the day for everything I want to tackle!
You all probably know the nonsense going on in the political arena - if you don’t, start now! It’s important - we are in a watershed moment in our history and there’s a lot problems in this country right now. Many of them are sitting in Congress right now and others want to become The President. Nevermind that the PC contingent are trying ever so hard to turn our freedoms against us.
Just go to my News and Political Reads page and get started.
Your blood will boil, you may want to throw things, and get mad as hell, but that’s good! Take that energy and make phone calls or send letters to those elected employees of ours and tell them what you think. Make them earn their pay. Better yet, go visit them. Remind them that they can be fired. We put them into office, we can take them out. They tend to forget that part.
This is our country. Are we going to let a bunch of career politicians and idiots run it into the ground without a fight?! There are men and women spilling blood and giving the ultimate sacrifice to keep this country safe. Shouldn’t we, too, be paying attention to what they’re guarding?
And this is where the amazing and inspiring parts come in:
America Supports You: Radio Program Gives Troops a Voice
Bagram Provincial Reconstruction Team Hosts Women’s Affairs Meeting
7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Soldier to receive Distinguished Service Cross (go here for more about Master Sergeant O’Connor)
Wounded Vets Race Cars While Recovering
Throwing Flies to Heal the Wounds of War
And bless their hearts ~
Berkeley College Republicans apply for same protest privileges as Code Pink
~~~~~~~~
See, it’s not all doom and gloom. And the world will continue to spin. But how the day comes to a close is up to us. So, I’m going to continue to pay attention and do what I can to keep to the good.

Well, modern society lacks honor and integrity. There’s no doubt about it.
I’m not a church guy — God knows me and I know him –, but James David Manning (the ATLAH guy) is right on the mark. And, he loves America!

Hoo-Whee! He doesn’t hold anything back, does he? Lord knows, I never heard anything like this from the ministers at my Methodist Church growing up. At least he’s not trashing the US. I take it he’s not a Democrat? heh
Thanks for the link, Tom.

Indeed, he’s a free thinker and a straight talker. In other words, he gives a hoot about political correctness. There are some terrific videos on his page, however, one should watch them all. Agreed, one has to have some life experience and knowledge of history to understand what he’s talking about. Therefore, it’s nothing for namby-pamby liberals. Anyway, I love his rants!
