VIDEO I give some tips on how I am saving money on Independence Day just by using discounted gift cards, coupons, and bowling passes as well as parking my car in a free vs expensive space. My estimated savings today alone using simple thrifty methods comes to at least $120. However, you can do the same and not just on Independence Day but EVERY day. Remember, use the internet to your advantage to make every day a financial Independence Day for yourselves, not just on the Fourth of July.

It's getting stupid my friends. Make it 65+. Any whack job looking for publicity can run. Swalwell, Williamson. Then there's the successful entrepreneurs looking for an excuse to spend their money. The 35 age requirement was ok at our nations founding as life expectancy was shorter. In our lifetimes Reagan and Trump were most successful having nothing to prove in their 70's. 40-somethings like Kennedy/Clinton had the gift of gab but were reckless when it came to women. The Kenyan was the same but kept his pants on. I say force the youtes to think of policy over flash.

Happy Birthday America! Let’s celebrate.So if the Dems want to skip the annual Independence Day parade – ostensibly due to the cost – let them. They’re only spoiling it for themselves. I suspect they would have complained about the cost of our actual independence as well as they certainly don’t seem to approve of any of the nation’s founding principles.  Is there anything about America the Dems don’t want to destroy?So while they hope, as they don’t pray, for rain on our parades I say let’s force them to boycott everything American: burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, baked beansIn fact,...

Here is my homage to the Killdozer and the man that made it a reality, Mr. Marvin John Heemeyer. Marvin John Heemeyer was an American welder and an automobile muffler repair shop owner who went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer. Outraged over zoning disputes, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004 to demolish the town hall, the former mayor's house, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado. The rampage ended when the bulldozer became stuck in the basement of a Gambles store he was in the process...

Petah Tikva inaugurates 'Donald Trump Square' in honor of US president's support for Israel The city of Petah Tikvah in central Israel inaugurated "Donald Trump Square" on Wednesday, a day before US Independence day, in honor of Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The roundabout near the city's municipal building features a water installation with statuesque structures bearing the Israeli and American flags illuminated by florescent colored lighting. A placard in both Hebrew and English commemorates Trump as "the first to acknowledge Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel". Petah Tikvah's "Donald Trump Square" is the latest piece...

....The original 1890 version of a John Philip Souza march done by the United States Marine Band in Washington DC, "The President's Own". We are coming into the 243rd anniversary of Independence Day in the USA with some lamenting of the loss of values and some anger and outrage at the rage on our streets... Someone stood outside a child sex abuse trial in Leeds, England last year and did a live stream leading to his arrest. Tommy Robinson playing the role of journalist shedding some light on the situation shouting questions to the defendants convicted and being sentenced that...

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s red past showed its ugly head recently in Miami where the Democratic presidential candidate offended the masses by glamorizing a Marxist revolutionary who executed thousands to impose communism and begged his Soviet compadres to nuke the U.S. At a union rally for striking airport workers, de Blasio proudly quoted Ernesto Che Guevara, a terrorist murderer who helped Cuban dictator Fidel Castro execute thousands of men, women and children in front of firing squads. He happens to be one of the most despised historical figures in south Florida. True to his communist roots, de Blasio...

It's a strange custom indeed to mow a lawn. In order to mow a lawn, you must first create a lawn. And that takes work. You must first take a backhoe and turn over the soil. Then plant the grass seed. Toss in a little hay (to keep in moisture). Then water frequently. Then 4-6 weeks later, the grass is growing in force and you must now mow weekly. Basically a lot of work in order to create reoccurring work . So tomorrow is Independence Day and most everybody will be grilling hot dogs. Why hot dogs? I would rather...

MSNBC sounds the alarms on President Trump on a constant basis, but one host insisted on Tuesday that he is using the upcoming Fourth of July celebration as a "threat" to Americans who oppose him. The president has longed talked about showing off America's military capabilities in celebration of Independence Day, and now his vision is coming to fruition as tanks arrive in Washington D.C. ahead of Thursday's festivities. Appearing on "Deadline: White House," however, MSNBC's Joy Reid offered a grave warning during a panel discussion, beginning by claiming Trump aspires to be a "mini" North Korean leader Kim Jong...

<p>Nike has pulled its Betsy Ross American Flag shoe from the shelves. Why? NFL has-been Colin Kaepernick’s complaining that the Betsy Ross flag a symbol of white supremacy. Nike said they didn’t want to potentially “offend” anybody. Surprise to Nike, they are offending a significant portion of the American public. But spitting on America, and her freedom has become a way of life in 2019. Not only for Nike and Kaepernick but also Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and soccer’s Rapino as well.</p>

<p>Republicans worry that the NRA and two other groups that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.</p> <p>The National Rifle Association aired an avalanche of TV ads and pushed its 5 million-plus members to the polls for Donald Trump in 2016, propelling him in the Rust Belt states that delivered him the presidency.</p>

It all started innocently enough. Last summer, Jim Ficken left his modest home in Dunedin, Florida, for Columbia, South Carolina, to tend to his late mother’s estate. He asked a friend and local handyman to keep an eye on his lawn, lest it grow too long in his absence. After Jim left, sadly, his friend died unexpectedly. And, left unattended, Jim’s grass did what grass in Florida does during the summer: It grew. The city’s code enforcement department noticed. Labeling Jim a “repeat violator” because he’d once let his grass grow too long some four years earlier, the city began...

President Trump's ongoing diplomatic efforts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are reminiscent of former President Richard Nixon opening a channel with China, according to K.T. McFarland. The president's handshake with Kim is similar to Nixon's iconic photograph with China's Communist then-leader Mao Zedong, McFarland claimed Monday on "Fox News @Night." "In 1972, there was a picture of Richard Nixon and Mao Zedong, who was president of China, and the two of them by shaking that hand, it gave the signal to all the Chinese people that things have changed -- we now have a good relationship with America...

When Scott Adams first heard about the way Antifa brutally attacked gay Vietnamese-American journalist Andy Ngo, he was as outraged as any decent person would be. (Leftists, by celebrating the attack or, in Jim Acosta's case, ignoring it despite an entire book about journalists -- i.e., Jim Acosta -- being under siege, have shown themselves to be indecent people.) A problem arose, though, when Adams, who rightly prides himself on being logical and thinking out of the box, watched a video that made him do a 180: suddenly, he has no problem with Antifa. All I can say is that...

In Major Development, Court Orders Unsealing of Docs Related to Alleged Epstein Sex Trafficking Ring The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Wednesday ordered the unsealing of the summary judgement record of lawsuit against a woman accused of running a sex trafficking ring with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The impact of the news has been described as “potentially explosive,” given that the documents could shine sunlight on allegations against Epstein and his former partner and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, plus unnamed individuals who argued against the unsealing of documents. Virginia Giuffre (formerly Roberts) claimed that Maxwell...

When working in newsrooms in the 1990s, my journalism colleagues often asked me why Rush Limbaugh was so popular. They could not fathom it. I explained it was basic supply meeting pent-up demand; that is, conservatives had felt under attack in every area of media and here came a guy with a microphone giving voice to their worldview, and providing analysis and twists that were done no where else. Limbaugh ushered in a revolution of talk radio hosts, creating an entire industry known as conservative talk radio and probably saving the AM dial. Before Fox News, conservative talk radio stood...

Last week the US Supreme Court rendered its decision on whether the US Census takers will be allowed to ask respondents whether they are citizens. Writing for the 5-4 majority, Chief Justice John Roberts explained the Court’s reasoning: “we aren’t saying that the question is illegal or unconstitutional. We we are saying is that we don’t like the question. As this nation’s final arbiters of everything that’s right and good, Steven, Ruth, Elena, Sonya and I can’t see any reason why such a question should be asked.” In a dissenting opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas lambasted the majority’s ruling calling it...
