    Was talking to My Grandson Yesterday asking him if They started the day with the Class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.

I have had Him Stand and render the Civilian Salute at the start of the TV coverage of the NASCAR Races and if He's not in the room when it starts and if He hears it being Sung or the Music...

    Ammoland ^ | July 10, 2024 | F Riehl, Editor in Chief
    As dedicated NRA supporters, we know it’s maddening to witness the betrayal from within our own ranks. The latest news reveals the agreed-upon settlement that Wilson “Woody” Phillips, the former CFO of the NRA, confessed to unethical conduct, further deepening the trust issues we’ve had with the organization’s leadership. Phillips’ Deceitful Contract Without disclosing their relationship, Phillips admitted to awarding a $1.36 million contract to HomeTelos, a tech company run by his then-girlfriend Nancy Richards. This was a blatant violation of NRA policies designed to prevent conflicts of interest. It took whistleblowers raising the alarm for Phillips to finally come...

    Leah Pruett and Tony Stewart wanted to start a family, but that meant she had to step away from racing, and Stewart knew she was going to struggle. When a person devotes 27 years of their life to something it becomes a part of them, and taking a step back from it is never easy as NHRA competitor Leah Pruett is discovering this year. The 35-year-old Pruett started in Junior Dragsters at age 8 and she’s spent her life climbing the drag racing ladder, often thrashing to find sponsors to keep her career afloat. She has recorded 18 career victories...

    In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, many Americans have been left scrambling to understand the widespread doubt that has been cast over the U.S. election systems. More Americans than ever now doubt the integrity of American elections, and most U.S. voters believe that cheating is likely to affect the 2024 presidential election results. The potential implications that have arisen after the 2020 election and the mass chaos that kicked off in the wake of drawn-out vote-counting and murky mail-in ballot drop boxes have drawn the ire of many proponents of election integrity, including President Donald Trump. He has...

    American Greatness via Truth Social ^ | November 3, 2023 | Debra Hiene
    A new report provides fresh evidence that infamous January 6 provocateur Ray Epps may have been an FBI plant. In the first of a two-part series, “Truth in Media” host Lara Logan spoke with Anthime Gionet, also known as “Baked Alaska,” a right-wing influencer formerly associated with the “alt right.” Video footage from January 5, 2021 and earlier indicate that Epps appeared to be particularly interested in Gionet, who was later sentenced to two months in prison for his participation in the riot at the US Capitol. Gionet (Baked Alaska) was one of several people who filmed Epps on the...
