There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said.

But I would like to say this:

Those men had guts, Plain old hard to find GUTS. I’m not sure I could have walked out of those landing craft and done the job they did.

And THANK you to those who DID do that job.

That’s all. 

I would wager, with pretty long odds, that those men that dropped on D-Day would find only disgust with the reporters commenting on their bravery 75 years later…that they would like to discuss the reporter’s politics, the policies those reporters promote, and the fact that those self same reporters show only disgust towards the current crop of military men and women.

I’d bet that they think that the reporters are not the kind of people they risked their lives for, and that the “journalists” are trying and helping to destroy the country for which they fought. 

So Illinois citizens get a new tax on fuels….an additional 19 cents per gallon….which goes into effect July 1.

Seems that the state had to find some way to pay for all that “Deferred Maintenance” on all the roads…some of that maintenance delayed for decades….since the state has diverted all those millions and millions of dollars that were collected from roads to social programs and to simply pay for the bloated government payrolls.

And now bridges are falling down and roads are breaking up… so like good socialists…they are adding an additional tax.

How long before this tax money is diverted and they have to add (again) yet another tax to pay for the deferred road and bridge repair? They CLAIM it can’t be diverted, but this is, after all, Illinois….

What good little Socialists the Government of Illinois are…

For the “Coward of Broward”.

“The FDLE investigation shows former Deputy Peterson did absolutely nothing to mitigate the MSD shooting that killed 17 children, teachers and staff and injured 17 others,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen. “There can be no excuse for his complete inaction and no question that his inaction cost lives.”


The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) announced Tuesday afternoon that officials arrested former Broward Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson and charged him with “seven counts of neglect of a child, three counts of culpable negligence, and one count of perjury.”

I’d rather see him shot for cowardice, but this is a good start…..

Seems that there are reports that Congolese have crossed our southern border….and possibly some have ebola. 

Maybe true, and maybe not.

But…..do you want to find out what could happen if Ebola is let loose in the US?

At the end of the day, it is a perfect example of why we need border security….and while the Southern border is the biggest issue and the weakest link, the other borders are weak as well and need to be secured. 

Once, immigrants had to take an arduous (and likely expensive) journey to reach their new home….and it was difficult, if not impossible to return to the “homeland”….One left friends and family behind, possibly never seeing them again. This sort of journey required committed people, strong of heart and generally those willing to work hard and endure in order to find a better life. The weak/lazy, fearful and yes, less intelligent stayed, and the strong, brave and (generally) more intelligent were the ones willing to emigrate to a new land….This is why, in part, the Untied States became the best, most productive country in the world…..for a time. We got the strong, brave resourceful and intelligent souls from Europe and other countries and they helped make America what it was (our laws and COnstitution helped there as well)

Now, one can travel from continent to continent in a few hours, tens of hours will get you nearly around the world. There is no hardship in the travel, and nearly anyone with enough money to buy a ticket (and such travel is, comparatively, cheap) can move to another country relatively easily. SO now we get the lazy, the indigent and the weak, where once we got the brave, industrious and strong. The filter of difficulty and commitment has been removed….there is, effectively no barrier for people to move th where the lickings are better.

Add it governments trying to “help” people by making settlements in our larger cities (See also: Somalia in Minneapolis) the allowances made for illegals in Sanctuary cities and we, as a nation, are weakened rather than strengthened by immigration…Yes, we still get some of the best and the brightest, but they are becoming a minority more and more every day. We also get much of the detritus of other countries….

So the answer of why we no longer get the best, brightest and most motivated people….people with a strong work ethic and with a drive to succeed….Immigrants that enhance and uplift our country….

It is simply to easy to get here, and once here, too easy to live (and stay) here.

We need to work on that.

If at first you don’t succeed:

Then skydiving may not be a good choice of hobby. 

So it would seem that people are noticing the fact that where there is immigration from Third World Countries there is a drop in the average national IQ.

DUH. I mean who’da thought?

The Third World is the Third World for a reason. Not because the rest of the world is keeping them down. 

And in the end, Third World Immigraton will lower not only the IQ of those countries, but their ability to feed, clothe and defend themselves.  Eventually to support themselves at all. It will destroy the country economically.

One might think that this is a plan….

But, while cooking out and being in the company of friends or family…

Take a moment and remember those who DIED to give you the freedom and security to be able to enjoy this day off…..

This day is in remembrance for those folks, not just a 3 day weekend.

Take a moment. Raise a glass. Say a prayer.

Remember.  Say “thank you”….They’ll hear it.
Trust me.
