WEST NEWTON, Pennsylvania -- As the sun dipped below the horizon of the Laurel Mountains off in the distance of the Evergreen Drive-In Theater, families with children were spread out on their sleeping blankets in front of their cars. A cluster of couples were sitting in folding chairs, enjoying each other's company. Then, they all stood and placed their hands over their hearts. They joined together in singing the national anthem as it was played across all three screens. They remained standing and sang along with the images on the screen to Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" immediately after that.

I LOVE this story!! Well done, Evergreen Drive-in!!

Technically, it's Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." BTW, Greenwood wrote the song that was first released in 1984.

Haven't seen a Drive-in around here in years. All of those we used to have are filled with shopping centers now.

Back in the 60’s the drive in was known as the passion pit. Most of us got our sex education in the front seat of ‘57 Chevy. Once in awhile we even watched the movie.

I'm proud of my country, I'm honored to have been bestowed the gift of our founding handed to me by my ancestors second only to the gift of salvation. I fly the flag and stand for it hand over heart, I study and advance the knowledge of our history. But depending on exactly how the question is asked of me I could be counted as not so proud because I'm appalled at what those entrusted with running our government have done to my country.

I was in SC over the Independence Day & the little development had a golf cart & walking parade to celebrate. At the start the grand marshal announced there would be a “Presentation of the Colors”. Three youngsters none more than 10 stepped up with the Star Spangled Banner, SC flag, and the town’s flag and they Plared the national anthem. Everyone stood & saluted or held their hand over their heart except one guy who sat in his lawn chair hat on his head looking at his phone. My thought were a hole democrat.

Admiral Twin Drive-In in my hometown (Tulsa.) Been around since 1951. Loved spending my teen age years going there. Both screens caught fire and burned down a couple of years ago but the owners rebuilt and modernized the facilities. You'll catch a glimpse of it if you watch the Francis Ford Coppola movie The Outsiders, based on the S.E. Hinton book.

The political division in this country is urban/suburban first ring versus suburban outer rings/rural. The urban centers are increasingly in chaos, with decaying infrastructure, loss of employment, loss of middle class, "minority growth" amid lost population, and growing crime. These urban centers and immediate (aging) suburbs are highly dependent on state and Federal subsidies. Leadership is often laughable. You won't find many there listening to Lee Greenwood, displaying US flags, or otherwise "proud" of their country. Sadly, these urban centers often control the electoral destiny of the state.

Earlier Thursday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had an epic meltdown after she was heckled by comedian Alex Stein on the Capitol steps. Ocasio-Cortez wrote that she wanted to “deck” Stein. Later she spoke to a reporter and posted a streaming video about the incident where she accused Capitol Police officers of conspiring with the January 6th rioters. Ocasio-Cortez argued to Wu, saying police rousted Stein after pressure from her and House (Democrat) leadership, “FYI we had to escalate to House leadership to get them to stop him and run his info.

About 4,000 beagles will be in need of new homes as rescuers remove them from a Virginia breeding facility that has been accused of neglecting and mistreating the dogs. The Department of Justice and the Humane Society of the United States are in the process of rescuing the pups from the Envigo breeding and research facility in Cumberland after a federal judge approved their request to remove the animals. The rescuers have about 60 days to get the beagles out of the facility, provide any necessary medical care like vaccinations and spay and neuter surgeries and find them new homes.

Is Spidey feeling the inflation crunch? A Florida thief dressed as Spider-Man robbed a woman after she asked to take a picture with the costumed crook outside a laundromat, police said. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office said Lequan Payne, 36, was dressed in the black version of Spidey’s regalia — including the mask — while loitering on a Hollywood street on Monday, Local 10 reported. A tickled laundromat patron took a picture with Payne before resuming her cleaning. The victim, 58, was walking home near the location after finishing her wash when the pseudo-Spidey clubbed her in the head and relieved her of $46, police said.

A majority of Democrat voters say the Supreme Court should be abolished for its racist and misogynistic practices, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute. In addition, 54 percent of young people aged 19 to 39 concur, regardless of their political association. The survey of 1,025 U.S. voters was divided among party lines, with 53 percent of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a “new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly,” and 33 percent “strongly” in favor. Only 21 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents favored the ill-advised proposition.

A 911 operator is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter two years after failing to dispatch an ambulance to a rural Pennsylvania home when the daughter of the deceased had insisted her mother was “going to die.” On July 1, 2020, Kelly Titchenell was rushing to the home of her 54-year-old mother Diania Kronk in Sycamore, PA, a town more than 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, while pleading for help from 911 operator, Leon “Lee” Price. According to recording of the call, Price, a 50-year-old resident of Waynesburg, insisted on learning if Kronk was “willing to go” to the hospital before he would agree to send an ambulance, the Associated Press reported.

In a sign that he is about to announce another presidential campaign, Donald Trump released a video this week of his awesome Boeing 757 being refurbished. This is the airplane he used to campaign during his successful 2016 election. According to Trump, “Now it has been completely modernized and renovated, and looks GREAT, all done in the Great State of Louisiana, and coming back to the skies in the Fall of 2022, or maybe sooner. Get ready!” Americans are definitely “ready” for the return of Donald Trump to the White House, especially after 18 months of the worst presidency in United States history.

Just when you thought things in our society can’t get dumber, the woke left set their beers down and somehow manage to top themselves. OK, no one actually thought things couldn’t get dumber, but you get the idea. Anne Frank, a victim of the Holocaust and whose diary has had a profound impact on millions of lives, is now being accused of having possessed “white privilege.” Yes, a young girl who was killed in one of Hiter’s death camps was apparently part of the oppressive class because she had white skin and her dad owned a business. This wasn’t just a fringe thing either. It actually trended on Twitter

He tried to cut and run. A wanted Florida man who gave cops the slip in January by diving into a swamp was finally busted last week after trying to flee deputies on a lawnmower. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said they spotted Dusty Mobley, 40, behind the wheel of a John Deere lawnmower Saturday and shouted at him to hit the ground. The law-breaking landscaper, they said, had several outstanding warrants and had managed to escape a prior arrest attempt by jumping off a stolen boat and vanishing into a swamp. Mobley floored the lawnmower and tried to putter away from deputies who hustled after him on foot.

No, that headline isn’t satire. Jill Biden did actually compare Hispanics to “breakfast tacos” on Monday while speaking in San Antonio. She also apparently can’t pronounce the word “bodega,” instead going with “bo-gah-da.” Was she trying to cop a faux-Spanish pronunciation to up her street cred? The First Lady has a history of such, including her infamous “si-se-podway” gaffe during the 2020 campaign. As RedState reported, these latest flubs came during something called a “LatinX IncluXion” conference, which can be translated to “Democrats want to lose Hispanic voters.” And while the right has had a good time with the “breakfast tacos” comment,

The Tyre Extinguishers movement, which started in the U.K., has spread to the United States and leaders promised to 'expand massively' in the coming weeks. New York City was hard hit by the group last month when approximately 40 SUVs were deflated in the Upper East Side.

Recently, I sat in my airplane seat before takeoff and watched a parade of the obese squeeze down the aisle. Many seemed barely able to shuffle through the narrow space; how they would maneuver their bodies into the 18”-wide seats that awaited them was another mystery. Never was it more evident to me how unhealthy our society has become than witnessing that performance. I estimated that at least half the passengers on the airplane appeared sufficiently overweight to be clinically obese. How did this happen? “Something to drink, sir?” asked the polite flight attendant as she passed my row. She placed the famous Southwest snack mix package

America First Legal (AFL) asked the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to open a civil-rights investigation into the company, alleging multiple violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on parental status.

Speaking during a Fox News interview, Fauci told host Neil Cavuto that “one of the things that’s clear from the data [is] that … vaccines—because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus—don’t protect overly well, as it were, against infection.” But Fauci said later that the vaccines “protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death” before he made note of his recent COVID-19 diagnosis.
Republicans Are Favored to Win the Senate 24 replies

Recently there has been a spate of stories about Republicans’ difficulties in taking over the Senate. These analyses typically focus on candidates’ poor polling numbers in key states and the weakness of the Republican recruiting class. These aren’t absurd analyses; I’ve referred to the battle between the overall electoral environment and Republican candidate quality as “the irresistible force versus the immovable object” in previous columns. Had the Republican Party fielded its A-team in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona, we probably would not be talking about Democrats even having a shot at retaining the Senate. At the same time, we shouldn’t get carried away.
