WATCH: J.D. Vance Advocates for Robust U.S. Support of Israel in Line with America First Policy

16 Jul 2024

Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, who was selected as former President Donald Trump’s running mate on Monday, underscored the importance of U.S. support for Israel within his America First foreign policy framework, highlighting its moral, religious, and strategic basis, while critiquing decades of U.S. foreign policy.

Speaking at the Quincy Institute in May, Vance, who has been described as “America First On Steroids,” delivered a pointed critique of decades of U.S. foreign policy, noting that “on issue after issue after issue, somehow the foreign policy consensus of this town seems to almost always be wrong.”

LOSING FREE SPEECH TO TOTALITARIANS

Thanks to Laura Cox for sharing with us a very timely article that was written on the 4th of July and ties in with the  assassination attempt on former President Trump yesterday.   Nancy 

How I Became an American

I never realized how easy it was to lose free speech until the totalitarians came to police it

I grew up without a care in the world as to whether or not this was a free country. I watched the hippies bomb the Capitol. I saw them burn flags. I watched films that explored dark and provocative territory. It never occurred to me that one day, the party I called home would decide that free speech was too much of a threat, and they had the right to tell us what we could and couldn’t say.

Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, we were edging ever so close to the government censoring thought and speech via social media. A brave group of rebels fought back and confronted the government. There is a thriving independent press where free thought is still welcome.

The American Revolution is considered one of our history’s Fourth Turnings. The Right sees this moment we’re living through now as a revolution of sorts. The Left sees it as a Civil War. They’ve cast themselves as the Union Army and MAGA as the Confederacy. They could not justify everything they’ve done to them otherwise.

I didn’t know I was an American until I felt the fundamental rights the revolutionaries fought for slipping away. The government in power now has abused its power, making the words in the Declaration of Independence ring true even today.

THE LAST D-DAY VETS STANDING

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

 

Thanks to Colonel Jay Stobbs (Ret) for sharing this article commemorating the 80th anniversary of D Day.  Nancy

Profiles of Valor: The Last D-Day Vets Standing

“The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. … And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”

Mark Alexander

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” —John 15:13

Thursday of this week, June 6th, 2024, marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Europe at Normandy, D-Day. The photos of the few Veterans who remain and were able to return to the beaches where so many friends were lost are inspiring. They embody the American Spirit of their Greatest Generation, many of whom I have featured in Profiles of Valor over the years. (See photos here.)

They are the last of the D-Day Vets standing — fewer than 200 remain, and their average age is over 100. It is fitting that D-Day follows close behind Memorial Day as a visceral reminder of enormous sacrifice.

A total of 66 Veterans are expected to return for the week-long observance, the youngest being 95 and the oldest 107. The fitting commemorative events are outlined in a 30-page program of activities along the 50-mile stretch of beaches. They include various reenactments, airborne parachute jumps, military convoys, and parades and ceremonies featuring dignitaries from around the world.

Kathryn and Don Edwards, who operate Best Defense Foundation, arranged travel and accommodations for many of those returning. Kathryn says, “This is going to be the last hurrah,” and her mission is to ensure that these Vets and their families “know what they did is still respected and honored.” Also, a note of appreciation here for American Airlines, which not only provided Veteran transportation for this anniversary event but also provides transportation at no charge for all our nation’s Medal of Honor recipients every day of the year.

One of those returning, Californian Bill Becker, was warmed by the welcome he and the other Vets received at Deauville, Normandy: “These people love us so much. It’s overwhelming. I made it.” And indeed, they do love these Americans. There is not a native French resident in the area who does not have a family connection and survival story from this dark period of history. Bill adds: “I feel very good that we did something to help win the war. We did something in this world that made it better.” And at a great cost.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON- IS THE GREAT ILLUSION IN RUINS?

Saturday, April 27th, 2024

 

Is The Great Illusion In Ruins?

73 Comments April 8, 2024

Victor Davis Hanson
American Greatness

In 2021, Joe Biden was elected after a bitterly fought campaign that deposed the incumbent Donald Trump. Democrats eventually captured, for a time, both the House and Senate, ensuring the most left-wing government in modern American history.

Americans were then set to witness a great experiment. For the first time in their lives, a truly radical socialist program would supposedly fundamentally transform the way America dealt with the border, immigration, the economy, race relations, foreign policy, energy, law enforcement, crime, education, and social questions such as religion, gender, abortion, and schooling.

In a sense, we were all to be lab rats of sorts, to be experimented on by the radical left and their various critical theories. Now in the last year of the Biden term, we can see the results of that experiment—and the unfortunate disasters that followed.

But first, how was such a radical move to the left even possible in a center-right America?

The Democratic nominee, Biden, had earlier united the left, but only through a Faustian deal. The handlers of a nearly non compos mentis Biden had ushered all his 2020 primary rivals out of the primary races in unison.

But in exchange for their exits that ensured Biden the nomination, the left took over his general campaign—in which Biden was virtually relegated to his basement—and then set his agenda.

Who was running things?

The mysterious architects of White House ideology included, inter alia, the omnipresent, now-Washington-DC-dwelling Obamas, the old socialist gadfly Bernie Sanders, the fossilized tribunes of the black and Latino congressional caucuses, the DEI firebrand Squad, and the neo-socialist scold Elizabeth Warren.

As a result, for one of the few times in American history, the hard left now had undreamt of power. And it was enhanced by a chorus in our compliant media, academia, corporations, the administrative state, foundations, entertainment, and popular culture.

AMERICAN COMPANIES THAT WERE ONCE COMPLETELY AMERICAN OWNED

Monday, November 6th, 2023

 

As you scroll through the list of formerly solely  American owned companies,  household names such as 

GE, Motorola, IBM (PC Division), General Motors, Spotify, Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Hilton Hotels, Snapchat, Estee Lauder, University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center and more are wholely or partially owned by China.  Are you paying attention yet ?   Nancy

These 40+ American Companies Are No Longer American

Many brilliant companies – from Apple to Starbucks – have been founded in the United States, starting out as small ventures to become international leaders in their fields. However, the world of business isn’t always as straightforward as it looks. Regardless of how well-rooted a company’s American history is, it doesn’t mean that it will always belong to Uncle Sam.

In fact, many quintessentially American brands are no longer American-owned at all. From Ben and Jerry’s to IBM and Holiday Inn, overseas investors have played a big part in keeping these companies moving forward. Without them stepping in, some of them may have ceased to exist altogether.

TRUMP’S EDUCATION PLAN

Thursday, October 19th, 2023

 

 
This is a common sense plan that will hopefully stop the indoctrination of our children by the Far left Marxists.  Nancy  P.S.   One of my grandsons who is 10 years old wears a cross on a chain around his neck.  He tells us that he feels there are some of his teachers who openly discriminate against him because  he is wearing a religious symbol,  Years  ago, when I was in school,  it was very common for  students to wear  crosses or St Christopher medals to school.   Discriminating against religious symbols is just another example of Cultural Marxism.  We see examples of its affect everywhere we look now – education, movies, corporations, churches, marriage, traditional family values and especially parental authority over their children’s education or gender identity.  It is well past time to bring back traditional values that were the foundation of our country.  

Trump’s Education Plan: End Fed Ed, Restore Prayer

.By Alex Newman October 18, 2023
 

The New Report. Originally published at FreedomProject.com

With virtually no media coverage, presidential frontrunner Donald Trump vowed to shut down the U.S. Department of Education and respect the authority of parents and states to oversee public education as part of a bold plan to bring about major changes. 

Shuttering the controversial department was just one part of a 10-point plan including restoration of prayer and patriotism unveiled by the former president last month. Taken together, Trump’s vision would rock the education establishment to the core.

“We’re going to end education coming out of Washington, DC,” explained Trump in a campaign video. “We’re going to close it up – all those buildings all over the place and you have people that in many cases hate our children. We’re going to send it all back to the states.”

Over a trillion tax dollars per year are poured into the government education system, Trump explained. And yet, instead of being at the top, “we are literally right smack — guess what — at the bottom,” the former president explained, pointing to racial, political and sexual indoctrination.  

Vowing to tackle the issue “very early” in his next term, Trump said his administration would be “sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.” “We want them to run the education of our children because they’ll do a much better job of it,” he said. 

“You can’t do worse,” the GOP contender explained about the current state of affairs. “We spend more money per pupil by three times than any other nation and yet we’re absolutely at the bottom — we’re one of the worst. You can’t do worse.”

673 UNC PROFESSORS OPPOSE COURSES ON U.S. FOUNDING AND CONSTITUTION

Thursday, April 27th, 2023

 

Published  April 26, 2023 8:40am EDT

673 university professors sign letter opposing courses on America’s founding, Constitution

UNC professors say requiring courses on American history violates ‘academic freedom’

Hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter Tuesday opposing legislation that would require university students to take courses on America’s government and founding documents.

The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university’s “academic freedom.”

The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America’s founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, at least five essays from the Federalist Papers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Gettysburg Address.

The professors argue the legislation “violates core principles of academic freedom” and “substitutes ideological force-feeding for the intellectual expertise of faculty.”
