Independence Day, above all other holidays, is my favorite day of the year.  Freedom, liberty, family, and a time to be mindful of those patriots of the past who had such vision for this great nation.  It's also a time to be grateful for those who serve and protect us. Whatever your plans are for the day, take a moment to pray for our country, enduring freedom, and our elected leaders.  

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald…

While I believe that every day is Flag Day in this our great nation, tomorrow, June 14th is officially designated as Flag Day in the United States of America.  Fly "Old Glory" proudly to commemorate the adoption of our nation's flag on June 14, 1777. 

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As we embark upon this Memorial Day Weekend, let us pause to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.  Whether to win freedom or to preserve freedom, we are truly grateful to the men and women who put service above self.

Gov. Sarah Palin weighed in on Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal and what she has to say is a must-read.  

From Palin's Facebook page:

Some Of Us Haven’t Changed Our Mind: Of Course Iran Would Cheat - Did You Think They Suddenly Had a Morality Transplant?

Still committed to do all I/we can to shine light on Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal that ultimately, irrevocably harms America’s interests.

If you live in a state where this is happening and or will be taking place in the future, what have you learned or know about the teacher walk-outs? Please post links and articles, comments.

Pam Pollard Chairman at Oklahoma Republican Party : "Folks, I told you this is part of a national movement targeting red states to turn the schools against republicans. The teacher walk-out is now in Arizona and after a 20% raise - which is exactly what they asked for - the unions say that is not enough and 78% of the schools voted to walk out.

The common theme in these states is a large number of school districts and bloated administrative costs. CLASSROOMS DESERVE TO BE FUNDED AND THE SCHOOL BOARDS MAKE THOSE DECISIONS- not the state legislature.

Because local control is not taking…

April 8, 2018

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin discussed the Second Amendment, border security, immigration and much more in a wide-ranging interview with Mark Levin.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate said she sees "hypocritical double standards" when it comes to the left's push for more gun control measures.

She said all Americans have the constitutional right to protect themselves and their families in the same way celebrities and politicians are protected.

"We have every right, we have a God-given right that’s codified in our Bill of Rights to protect ourselves and to protect our property and our families. It’s not just a select few that government will choose who gets to be protected. The movie stars, the politicians in D.C., those in a courthouse, no. The Bill of Rights does apply to every single citizen of the U.S.," she…
