On September 11, 2001, the United States faced one of the darkest moments in its history. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the heroic stand of those aboard Flight 93 shook the nation to its core. Yet, out of that darkness, the enduring spirit of America shone through with unwavering strength, resilience, and unity.
In the face of terror, countless brave souls—firefighters, police officers, and ordinary citizens—answered the call without hesitation, embodying the courage and selflessness that define the American character. Across the nation, flags were raised higher, voices spoke louder in unity, and communities stood together with a shared resolve to rebuild, to remember, and to never forget.
September 11 will always remind us of the profound sacrifices made and the undying spirit that unites all Americans. It is a day that underscores the ideals of freedom and democracy that the nation stands for, and the unbreakable will of a people who rise stronger from every challenge.
Today, we honor the fallen, salute the heroes, and pledge to carry forward the values that make America a beacon of hope and liberty.

On this 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion to rescue Europe from evil, this call to awareness and action from Kentucky’s senior U.S. senator should be read and re-read.
Though easy to ignore eight decades later, the post-WW2 truisms remain crystal clear:
▫️Totalitarianism anywhere threatens freedom and free enterprise everywhere.
▫️Our economic security and our national security are inseparable.
▫️Strength deters.
▫️Alliances with other democracies are vital to our national interest.
▫️We must grow America’s arsenal of democracy, our defense industrial base.
▫️In the long twilight struggle between good and evil, between democracy and dictatorship, America remains the indispensable nation for the Free World.

What JFK tried to do before his assassination w/Jeffrey Sachs | The Chris Hedges Report
"We will never know the world that could have been had President John F. Kennedy's assassination never taken place, but an inkling of how things could have been different can be found in the final months of his life. In his new book, To Move the World: JFK's Quest for Peace, Jeffrey Sachs unearths JFK's final political campaign—to establish a secure and lasting peace with the Soviet Union."
"How far did JFK's efforts go? What sort of progress was made on ending the Cold War, not through the collapse of the Soviet Union, but rather through mutual cooperation and understanding? To answer these questions and more, Jeffrey Sachs joins The Chris Hedges Report."

Speak up, and don’t be afraid!!!
In today’s America, the right to free speech feels increasingly under attack.
Censorship, cancel culture, and suppression of differing viewpoints have created an environment where many Americans are afraid to speak their minds.
But now, more than ever, it’s crucial to stand up and make your voice heard. America’s founding principles were built on the idea that everyone has the right to express their thoughts and work together for a common cause.
The radical left has been chipping away at these rights, making it harder to organize for a shared purpose.
Don’t be silenced by fear of censorship or trolls.
Seek out like-minded individuals who share your passion for preserving the republic.
Joining a movement or organization can help amplify your voice. Consider aligning with the Military Party—a group that’s not just for veterans or military personnel, but for all patriotic Americans who want to safeguard our nation’s future.
Don’t stay quiet. Speak up, organize, and vote for the country we all love.
Equity is the closest any human system of justice can come to divine justice. If we can achieve Equity, God will sort out the difference.
The Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Miiitary Justice are both anchored by EQUiTY. The standard for Equity to which the Sergeant Major refers is a stoic dimension established by the Roman Legions by a Roman general,
Titus Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus
who executed his son for disobedience. This is a Wikipedia summary of the event:
>>>>During the conduct of the war, Manlius and his co-consul, Publius Decius Mus, decided that the old military discipline would be reinstated, and no man was allowed to leave his post, under penalty of death. Manlius's son, seeing an opportunity for glory, forgot this stricture, left his post with his friends, and defeated several Latin skirmishers in battle. He brought the spoils back to his father, who publicly berated him for disobedience and had him executed. "Manlian discipline" afterwards became an expression for merciless upholding of rules<<<< (Wikipediea https://lnkd.in/e6t884wk)
Now, as I say, this standard of EQUITY is the anchor of both the civilian rule of law and the military justice system, Socretes submitted himself to the Athenian secular rule of law as an object lesson in the essential basis of democracy. Jesus submitted Himself to both the Law of Moses and to the Roman rule of law as an endorement and validation of Socretes example.
In this respect, the Declaration of Indepences is anchored by 6 Ideals of Democratic Socialism to replace the Magna Carta of Tory Socialism:'s Life Liberty and Property/ John Locke identifies. Thos 6 Ideals are: Life Liberty, Fraternity, Equaulity, EQUITY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The 6 white stripes of Old Glory symbolize those Ideals. The 6 red stripes are the blood of the Patriots at Yorktown who sanctified those Ideals.
The 2nd Amendment represents the Constitutional boundary between the Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The "well regulated militia' claused in the 2nd Amendment refers specividally to thie Ideal of EQUITY of the Miitary Justice System. It has nothing to do with private gun ownership.
Furthermore, the EQUITY ideal is what is expressed by the E in Mark Cuban's DEI/ZenBusiness Model,
Prject 2025 is opposed to EQUITY as it may apply to white supremaicests. The concept of EQUITY in this regards has obviously never occurred to Trump. J.D. Vance was a Marine, so it’s hard to know wht he believes.
The military has been a DEI instituion since Truman integrated the federal government.
America stands at a crossroads, facing unprecedented challenges. Our history and our future are being reshaped, and now more than ever, we need strong leadership to secure our values and protect our freedoms. A MAGA government, led by Trump, represents the strength, resilience, and commitment to 'America First' principles that can guide us through these times. Let’s come together and vote for Trump in 2024, for a future that prioritizes American prosperity, security, and unity.

Embodying American Patriotism: Actions Over Words
My fellow Americans, today we stand together as patriots, proud of this great nation and the freedom it represents.
To be an American patriot means more than just waving a flag or reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
It means living by the principles of freedom, justice, and responsibility, every single day.
Our founders gave us a Constitution that enshrines these values, and it’s our duty to uphold them.
Embodying American patriotism is about respecting the rights of all, honoring the rule of law, and participating actively in our civic duties.
It’s not just words—it’s action.
True patriots defend and support the freedoms that define this nation.
Whether it’s through military service, standing strong in your community, or speaking up for liberty, we must actively preserve the values that make America great.
As the quote says, “Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.” Our actions must be a testament to our beliefs.
We are responsible citizens who contribute to the strength and well-being of this Republic.
We must safeguard the Constitution, the bedrock of our democracy.
A true patriot doesn’t just talk about liberty—they live it.
Let us show through our actions what it means to be American.
Let’s live our values, defend our freedoms, and ensure the promise of America shines bright for generations to come.

In light of recent events and the troubling news about former President Trump, it's clear that our nation stands at a critical crossroads. The divisions we face today echo the time when our country was on the brink of civil war. The intense polarization, the breakdown of civil discourse, and the growing distrust among fellow Americans are all reminiscent of the pre-Civil War era.
We must seek common ground, and work towards our more perfect union.
🔵 A Veteran's Perspective on Current Politics 🔴
I’ve had the honor of serving our great nation and witnessing firsthand the values that make America strong. These experiences have shaped my viewpoints on the current political landscape, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts.
In these challenging times, it's crucial for us to remember the principles of unity, integrity, and service to others that we applied in the military. Our country faces many issues, and it’s essential that we approach them with the same dedication and commitment that we demonstrated in uniform. 🛡️
Politics today often seem divisive, but I believe that by focusing on common ground and mutual respect, we can bridge the gaps that divide us. It's important to hold our leaders accountable, demand transparency, and work together to find solutions that benefit all Americans. 🤝
I am optimistic about our future because I know the strength and resilience of the American people. Let’s continue to strive for a nation that reflects the values we fought to protect: freedom, justice, and equality for all. 🌟
Thank you for your support, and let’s keep moving forward together!

Meeting Colin Kaepernick in Clayton County, shortly after he began his peaceful protest by kneeling during the national anthem, was a moment I’ll never forget. As the son and grandson of Army veterans, and as the husband of the granddaughter of a Tuskegee Airman, I understand the weight of sacrifice and service. I also understand what Colin’s protest was really about: not against the military, but against systemic injustice.
We spoke about the fight for police accountability, a cause deeply personal to me and the work we’re doing in Atlanta. I believe we can stand for public safety, while also standing against extreme policism. I admired Kap’s courage to kneel—not out of disrespect, but out of love for justice and the pursuit of a better America.
But today, as military heroes like the Tuskegee Airmen are being erased from our history, it’s clear that the attack on what it means to be "American" continues. Those who once criticized Colin’s peaceful protest are now silent in the face of these erasures. Where is their outrage now?
I couldn’t agree more with Bernice A. King on the steps we must take moving forward. This fight isn’t over—it’s only just begun. We honor the sacrifices of those who came before us by standing (or kneeling) for justice today.
