Honor Flight for Sergeant Bennett

Hi R: my dad is going on an honor flight early in July. They do mail call for the Vets and would like each Vet to have around 30 pieces of mail for it. Would you be able to jot him a note? I can send you a pdf with the address and deadline. My dad got the info on this late because he couldn't make the other dates.



Of course I said YES! I've known Mr Bennett since my first year of high school. He'd pick up his daughter - my classmate - in front of the school and say "Hi!" or smile whenever I walked by his car. What a breath of friendly, fresh air in a socially-awkward season of my life. Only now do I realize the chunk of time he was away from Family and the sacrifice it took for him to serve our country.

Do You Support Patriotic Bikers Protecting Trumps Inauguration?

I had not known about these bikers till recently.  Does the President-elect truly need this kind of "protection" from Liberals?  I would much rather pray for Mr Trump and Mr Pence; and encourage other Christians to do likewise. 

POLL: Do You Support Patriotic Bikers Protecting Trumps Inauguration?: 

An estimated 2 million bikers will descend on Washington D.C. for Donald J. Trump’s Inauguration as the 45th President of the United States of America. These patriotic bikers have protected Trump and his supporters throughout the election process and are planning to do the same for his inauguration.  The bikers want to prevent “the libtards” from ruining the welcoming event. 

Let your choice be known by clicking on the green poll link above.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Large Protest in Washington, DC on September 12, 2009: God bless the U.S.A !!

Here are some pics from Washington on September 12, 2009. It was a huge yet peaceful crowd; bigger than the million-man march, but mostly un-noticed and un-reported. Why?  Because it was a very  large crowd made up of mostly Conservatives, of course; or "nuts" and/or "racists" as some big-mouths promote.  SHAME, Shame, shame on the predominantly favoring-the-left-wing-Agenda Media for pretty much  ignoring this very well-attended event (so, what else is new?!).  Take time to read the placards, and note the number of young participants (future voters) involved.
