  • What Ukrainians could teach America: Whatever the reasons, there was a time when America felt the same level of devotion and loyalty from her citizenry that Ukraine does now. But not anymore

    Whatever the outcome of the Ukrainian War for Independence is, the folkloric actions of its leaders are already cementing themselves as legend in the next pages of history. The epicenter of what actual adult leadership looks like has coalesced around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who, whatever his vices were prior to the invasion, has shown his true character by standing, in the literal sense, shoulder to shoulder with fellow citizens in the battle-scarred streets of Kiev. When offered a coward’s evacuation by the American architects of our unconditional surrender in Afghanistan, Zelenskyy famously replied, “I need ammunition, not a ride”....

    What do mask mandates, global shutdowns, and gender-neutral “theybies” have in common? They’re all new ideas, born of a new America — and they’ve come at a cost. The decline of our country escalated with the Covid pandemic and Biden’s presidency. Family and friends are encouraged to snitch on one another, pledging loyalty not to each other, but instead to the state. Lockdowns and constant fear-mongering have caused suicide and overdose rates, even among children, to skyrocket. Inflation is at an all-time high, and America is once again kowtowing to China. It’s difficult to look at the Brave New World...

    Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, praised "the informal cooperation that has enabled the government and our company to censor unacceptable ideas from being posted on our platform. However, the lack of a specific law specifying that it is legal for us to do this leaves our company liable to being sued. Knowing how big CYA is in government circles, they could always weasel out on the informal agreement and disavow any knowledge of our actions. Following former President Reagan's advice 'to trust, but verify,' we'd appreciate it if Congress could formalize the relationship by passing a law that legitimizes it."...

    In the next few weeks, we will celebrate both Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day. The two holidays recall two of our many presidents who loved our country and sacrificed for it: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both presided over our country during times of vast change, and both put their country before themselves. Most importantly, both imparted guidance that is just as important today as it was during their lifetimes. Two of their speeches highlight their perspectives regarding our nation: Washington's Farewell Address and Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address. Both men acknowledged that they were part of a bigger plan...

  • Pinkerton: A Left-Wing City’s Refusal to Honor Veterans Day Reminds Us That Patriotism Must Be Taught

    Breitbart ^ | 11/11/2021 | JAMES P. PINKERTON
    Veterans Day was first known known as Armistice Day. It was established by Congress in 1926, to honor Americans who fought in World War One, which came to a victorious end with the armistice of November 11, 1918. In a White House proclamation, President Calvin Coolidge described the conflict, then known as the Great War, as “the most destructive, sanguinary, and far-reaching war in human annals.” Yet a few years later came an even greater and more destructive war, World War Two, and soon thereafter, a smaller war in Korea. So in 1954, Congress renamed Armistice Day, by now a...

    On this episode of The Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and David discuss the difference in meaning between the words nationalism and patriotism and why it matters. The terms “nationalism” and “patriotism” are often used interchangeably. This is understandable, as they have somewhat overlapping meanings, both of which suffer from a certain amount of vagueness. However, there are a number of key differences between the two that are worth shedding light on. In the final analysis, we believe that the term “nationalism,” while not denoting anything totalitarian by its nature, is not an accurate term for the sentiment that exists in...

    We sang patriotic songs in grade school (yes that makes me at higher risk of death from COVID). I’ve got a couplet stuck in my head from an old war song and even though everything is on the internet, I can’t find it anywhere. The lines are: “We did some fancy fighting down in Santiago Bay/And fixed it so Cervera found it hard to get away” Does anybody here know the song?

However, there are a number of key differences between the two that are worth shedding light on. In the final analysis, we believe that the term “nationalism,” while not denoting anything totalitarian by its nature, is not an accurate term for the sentiment that exists in the United States. Nationalism, it would seem, is more suited to Europe or Asia, places with historic nations, united by common language and ethnicity that are...

    To prove the thesis that Democrats are making war on our people, Biden seems to be doing the bidding of China as it moves to exploit Afghanistan’s untapped mineral resources. Taiwan is now up for grabs too. If we look at Joe Biden’s deliberate acts in Afghanistan and what has actually happened, devoid of rhetoric, the results speak for themselves because actions matter. Joe just made the conditions in Afghanistan exponentially worse and kicked off a refugee crisis that has already cost 13 service members their lives and will soon create a hostage crisis for Americans left behind, including children....

    Source: Photo/Salena ZitoLEBANON, Kansas -- There is something uplifting about standing in the center point of the United States of America. It evokes a sense that is both spiritual and patriotic, particularly if you reach this point having traveled on both sides of the monument that marks the spot. There is a restorative energy you absorb, no matter where the back roads take you. You have to take time listening to folks in city neighborhoods, tree-lined suburbs and small towns. No one person's story is perfect. No situation or place is perfect. There is plenty of despair among people in...

    Amid the crisis taking place in Afghanistan, the Office of Naval Intelligence found time to remind active duty and retired service members not to say anything unflattering about the president’s deadly debacle. “Given the heightened political and social atmosphere surrounding Afghanistan, it is important to remind our uniformed personnel (active duty and reservists on temporary active duty) and military retirees of their responsibilities and obligations under Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Department of Defense Directive 1344.10,” the email read. “While it is vital to protect the constitutional right of freedom of expression for these groups,...

    American athletes can make a lot of money demonizing their own country these days. The world stage of the Olympics, then, presents a prime opportunity to cash in on the lucrative industry of self-hatred. U.S. wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock however, took no shame in competing on behalf of the United States at the Tokyo games. Quite the opposite.“I love representing the U.S.! I freaking love living there,” Mensah-Stock told a reporter while draped in the stars and stripes upon winning the gold. “I’m so happy I get to represent U.S.A!”America’s Tamyra Mensah-Stock won gold at Tokyo in wrestling:“I love representing the...

    The “Woke Olympics” have been going on for a while. I’m not sure when it started or when it’s over as I have no interest in watching what has been billed as an athletic indictment against the greatest nation on earth.Thanks to American wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock, I may have to pay more attention. It seems that there are actual Olympians representing this country in Tokyo with the pride that was once indicative of the God-given opportunity. Watch the glee, humility, and patriotism exuding from this amazing person after winning the gold medal for women’s wrestling:Here’s an Olympic athlete worth rooting...

    Many Americans are ignoring the Olympics this year based on the wokester politics of certain loudmouth Olympic athletes, some just itching to turn their podium moments into anti-U.S. protests. It's disgusting, given that they've chosen to compete under the U.S. flag. It not only comes off as the height of ingratitude, it indicates contempt for the American people as a whole, who love their flag and country. Who needs that crap? Many just say no, and not just 'no' but 'hell no,' and watch the Olympics to cheer the other team, a new phenomenon, which has been evident in all...
