Can We Teach Our Children to Love America?

When I was in fifth grade, my teacher was Sister Mary Concepción. In ancient times, there was one classroom, one teacher, and 35 hellions that the elderly sister had to handle. With a combination of a ruler and a stare that could freeze Icarus, she taught us many things. She taught us how to read the right way, how to think critically, how to write to be understood, and how math infused our daily lives. Sister Concepción was an Irish immigrant. She came to America at a time when the Irish were discriminated against. "No Irish need apply" signs were everywhere.

We can, but I think it going to take a miracle and some savvy grandparents, aunts and uncles to combat the disinformation and propaganda that the kids are being taught in schools.

I had a biology teacher in high school who walked on water. If we didn't have our notebooks in hand and pens ready when we walked in we'd miss something. He was like the old dragster competitor who would jump the green light beating the competitor by half the length of the strip wink by every time. No one dared tell the old goat he was not following the rules, he really didn't win, because everyone was scared of him. I think of him often. He was the teacher to remember since he wouldn't allow fooling around. He seemed to know what every kid was capable of and pressed for a little bit more. He was a stalion!

Yes, but only if we are willing to wage war against the school boards, the teachers' unions, and biden the cheater's Dept of Education. But then the question - what to do with Zuckie's and other social media platforms who continue to pump progressive rot into our young peoples' minds. And I would think the task becomes easier once biden the cheater has been put out to pasture. The nearest memory care facility also comes to mind.

I'll see your Irish nun and raise you nuns from Spain. They were serious women and ruled with an iron thumb. I now, at the golden age of mid-70's, wonder if they ever got to go back home to see family. But they were serious teachers and we'd better learn. I was scared of them. I learned.

We don't need to teach our kids to love America, we just need not to teach them to hate it.

Judge Aileen Cannon last Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump. One filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago (Snip) "There were no threats and no risk to agents’ safety arising from their allegations relating to possession of documents at a premises already guarded by the Secret Service. But the agents appear to have done so, based on documents produced in discovery, in order to search for alleged contraband they pretended was life threatening in Mar-a-Lago’s gym and kitchen (five and four pictures, respectively),” the motion read.

The verdict in former President Donald Trump's "hush money" trial is very likely to come this week. Closing arguments are currently scheduled for Tuesday. How would you know the case is not great for the prosecution, if you didn't already know it? CNN is trying to prepare people for the possibility that Trump may not be convicted. That's surprising coming from them. CNN political correspondent Sara Murray warned that it might not turn out like they're hoping, that it might be the "worst case scenario" for them.

The Biden family is neck-deep in corruption, and yet, time after time, it becomes increasingly clear that they feel they can get away with it. Even as Hunter Biden faces criminal gun and tax charges, and Joe Biden is the subject of an impeachment inquiry, they just can't help themselves. Perhaps they figure that since the media is on their side, they don't have to worry about honest coverage blowing their cover. And they are mostly right. The mainstream media has been insisting for months now that House Republicans have turned up no evidence of corruption by Joe Biden, which is patently false.

The Democrats can’t win unless they cheat which is why they are fiercely fighting to block voter ID laws. Democrat gutter lawyer Marc Elias has filed at least two lawsuits to stop Repair The Vote’s attempt to introduce voter ID laws in Nevada. Marc Elias is best known for his work promoting Hillary Clinton’s fake Russia dossier in 2016 and doing the dirty work for the Democrat machine to make sure there are no voter ID laws. Marc Elias and the corrupt Democrat party took a huge loss on Friday. In a unanimous decision, the Nevada Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of the voter ID ballot initiative

The Louisiana State House on Tuesday passed a bill that would punish those who poison pregnant women with abortion drugs without their consent. Once the bill, titled “The Catherine and Josephine Herring Act,” passes in the Senate and is signed into law by Gov. Jeff Landry, it could offer more protections for women. State Sen. Thomas Pressly, one of the bill’s sponsors, named it after his sister, whose daughter was nearly killed by her father, who poisoned Catherine in an attempt to induce an abortion, according to a press release. “There was no ‘choice’ involved when my husband slipped abortion drugs into my drinks seven times,” said Catherine Herring.

Like many, I was appalled when the FBI raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in August of 2022. While it was difficult in the fog of the ordeal to get a solid fix on what exactly the feds were after, the notion that the raid and subsequent prosecution were highly political in nature was inescapable — particularly when President Joe Biden's own classified document imbroglio came to light...and then was allowed to shuffle off into oblivion due to Biden's being deemed a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." With the multiple criminal cases pending against Trump —

President Joe Biden is currently losing the 2024 presidential race to former President Donald Trump. If the election were held tomorrow, Trump would win -- likely convincingly. The fact that this is increasingly obvious, and that Biden finds himself fighting an uphill battle to prolong his already ancient political career, has precipitated some epic handwringing on the MSNBC airwaves and a veritable five-alarm fire at the Democratic National Committee. The big polling news last week was that The New York Times/Siena College, one of the country's most accurate pollsters, has Trump up in five of the six most important swing states -- including an astonishing 13-point cushion in light-blue Nevada,

The Libertarian Party has chosen 38-year-old Chase Oliver as its 2024 presidential nominee. An openly gay former Democrat who once supported Barack Obama, Oliver used his victory speech to rail against the U.S. “war machine” and demand an end to the “genocide in Gaza,” according to the Washington Examiner. After author Michael Rectenwald was eliminated from the race during Sunday night’s voting, the final vote was between Oliver and “none of the above,” in which he ultimately prevailed with around 60 percent support. He announced economist Mike ter Maat as his running mate.

The Libertarian Party on Sunday nominated party activist Chase Oliver for president, rejecting former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after they each spoke at the party’s convention. Third parties have rarely been competitive in U.S. presidential elections and the Libertarian candidate four years ago won 1% of the vote. But the party’s decision is getting more attention this year due to the rematch between Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, which could hinge again on small vote margins in a handful of contested states. “We did it! I am officially the presidential nominee,” Oliver posted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s time to unify and move forward for liberty.”

Twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the fact that she lost the 2016 election to former President Donald Trump because Americans like him better. During an interview with The New Times, Clinton blamed sexism for losing out to Trump. Instead of taking accountability, Clinton claimed that women voters abandoned her for not being “perfect,” arguing that they took a “risk” on Trump because he is a man. Just days before the election, then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into Clinton.

Prominent Democratic strategist James Carville slammed his own party Saturday in a rant in which he called its messaging “full of s–t” — and accused the Biden campaign of worrying too much about the war in Gaza. Carville, who helped run Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 White House campaign, ripped into national Democrats as polls continue to show President Biden struggling in his likely rematch with former President Donald Trump. “We keep wondering why these young people are not coming home to the Democrats,” Carville, 79, said in a video episode of his Politicon podcast. “Why are blacks not coming home to the Democrats? Because Democrat messaging is full of s–t, that’s why.”

Since the original reports, some disturbing information about the deceased and the company he was allegedly contracting with has come out - and it's got special forces families nationwide spooked.

But don’t tell that to Joe Biden, who doesn’t want to upset the Mullahs in case it might hurt his increasingly remote reelection chances. The befuddled octogenarian president actually is demanding that European countries concerned about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear weapons program stand down and refrain from telling the truth—which is that Iran must never,

Relations between the European Union and Israel took a nosedive on the eve of the diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state by EU members Ireland and Spain, with Madrid suggesting sanctions should be considered against Israel for its continued attacks in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told Spain that its consulate in Jerusalem will not be allowed to help Palestinians. At the same time, the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, a Spaniard, threw his full weight to support the International Criminal Court, whose prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, including the leaders of Hamas.
