• Over 700 Articles

  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe I could write this amount in just over 8 months this year. I have covered a lot of topics in the past 8 months. Many topics that came straight from the news headlines, but also history and family stories. Goodness… I have shared personal upsets and…

• Christmas Movies

  Tonight was the debut for the ‘My Christmas Hero’ it is the perfect answer to the lack of empathy from this current administration. The Great American Christmas channel has been making wholesome movies and this one is high on my list this year. Being the granddaughter of a World War 2 soldier who was fortunate…

• Lack of Cognizance… of History

  I am still trying to digest these facts. Young Americans are believing that a terrorist can have something to say to Americans after what happened on September 11th by terrorists. What is not wrong with that statement! Talk about having scrambled eggs for brains. Isn’t it amazing. Everyone who said the Germans should have done…

• Marching For Israel

  Could you feel the difference in whatever coverage you may have seen today? The March for Israel had civility, no one wearing scarves or masks to hide their identity, and the speakers weren’t yelling or ranting at those in the faces of those showing support. These differences alone made such a difference in how the…

• Elections Matter Once Again

  Again Republicans did not do as well as they were supposed to do. It seems to be a trend. Why? Why were there not long lines like they were in 2016 and 2020. Granted this was not a Presidential Election, but does it take Trump to get the Republican base to really show up in…

• Veterans in Congress

  Did you know we have more Representatives in Congress that have served in Combat? In the past decade who knows best how the world views America more than our own Veterans? Slowly our Veterans have returned and seen a remarkable dissonance between Washington and their home-front and family life logistics. On top of coming home…

• Do You Vote Today!

  As a Hoosier who lives in the country, I don’t get to vote in the municipality election today. However, it is still Voting Day for many Americans. Two years ago we didn’t have quite the Red Wave that was predicted, but it still made for some stellar results. Not only did Virginia elect a Republican…

• Revolutionary War & Israel

  This is now my 2nd or 3rd attempt at this article. Due to conditions out of my control I was unable to publish this idea that’s been in my head for several years. I wanted to write this for my first blog and the timing was wrong. So now perhaps this is just God’s timing…

• Honoring Veterans Day

  Starting this week I may have a lot of Veterans day articles and messages out. It is very personal for me to do so. Specifically when America’s young people don’t know about the Holocaust or what our nations finest did to serve our Country in World War II or really any war. I have direct…
