(Via Washington Examiner) Wreaths Across America, the group responsible for placing wreaths on 230,000 headstones at Arlington National Cemetery, said Wednesday that 30,000 graves may have to forego the commemorative garland due to a lack of funding.

The project is not government-sponsored, leaving the organization responsible for raising $3.45 million to fund the $15 wreaths on each Arlington tombstone. As of Wednesday night, Wreaths Across America was $450,000 short of reaching its goal with five days until the Tuesday, Dec. 1 deadline. (more…)

We Remember Mississippi 2014 !

Dear: Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and those of your similar professional circle.

After the fiasco that was Mitt Romney, for over two years each of you -at one point or another- have called for the broader conservative electorate, the generalized “right” or “center-right”, to unite in support behind one candidate who can defeat the leftist advancement and larger progressive agenda.

While railing at “drive-bys“, “corporate interests“, “manufactured politics” and various catch phrases, you have engaged a national audience and delivered opinion.

Did you actually mean it ?

.… Or was that all BULLSHIT ? (more…)

Every wonder why we have been supportive of Matt Bevin for the past three years?  Newly elected Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin shares his views on the EPA authority and overreach as it relates to Kentucky Coal-Mining.

Full-throated unapologetic constitutional conservative. (more…)

All of the stuff that swirls around us can be exhausting and deflating; sometimes we need to take a break, and recognize a larger humanity travels along with us…. we’re really not alone in this; not even close.

Take a break, sit down, relax and enjoy this food for the soul. I promise you won’t regret it:

Wow.  Carl Icahn is putting $150 million toward creating his Super-PAC which will target political policy aimed to stop U.S. corporate business inversions, and promote repatriation of money held offshore.

Icahn is a very good friend of Candidate Donald Trump and one of the few pro-U.S. billionaires who believe in American exceptionalism. 

Icahn and Trump are part of a rare club of business leaders who, while being part of the billionaire investor class, are more Pro-Main Street than Wall Street.

(VIA REUTERS)  Billionaire investor activist Carl Icahn tweeted on Wednesday that he is forming a Super PAC with an initial commitment of $150 million, representing the biggest one-time injection of money in the history of such political action committees.

Icahn, who supports presidential candidate Donald Trump, said he is targeting “inversions,” which occur when a company changes its domicile, often outside the United States, to take advantage of lower tax rates elsewhere. (more…)

Matt Drudge warned in a rare interview Tuesday that future decisions on digital copyright laws could stifle free speech, including putting an end to his popular Drudge Report website.  The comments came in a radio interview with Alex Jones.

Interview begins at @04:50

“I had a Supreme Court justice tell me to my face it’s over for me. Said, ‘Matt, it’s over for you. They’ve got the votes not to enforce copyright law. You’re out of there. They’re gonna make it so headlines, you can’t even use headlines,’” Drudge said. “To have a Supreme Court justice say that to my face!”  (link)

Rest In Peace Yogi…  1925 – 2015

Remarkable and uplifting story of how a 13-year-old boy scout helped his Father survive three days in the wilderness and hiked out to get help.
Weighing in at 90lbs and carrying a 40lb backpack, 13-year-old Charlie Finlayson not only had the presence of mind to stabilize his seriously injured dad – he also knew exactly how to survive.

IDAHO – […]  The 52-year-old mountaineer and his son were camped at Ship Island Lake in the Bighorn Crags of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness northwest of Challis. On Aug. 17, the two were scouting a climbing route when a boulder rolled off the mountainside. They hadn’t started climbing and don’t know what dislodged the big rock.

“Dumb luck. It didn’t come off too far above me, so it wasn’t rolling too fast,” Finlayson said.

But the refrigerator-size boulder knocked him off the ledge, and he tumbled 20 to 30 feet down the mountain. (more…)

This is a follow up to this story:
 NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana trooper died Monday after he was shot by an apparently stranded motorist who stood over the officer and told him afterward, “You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.”
Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, died at a hospital in Lake Charles after being shot in the head over the weekend by a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said.
“This loss exacts an enormous emotional toll on the state police family, but we will do what is necessary and proper to honor Steve and support those who knew and loved him,” Edmonson said in a statement Monday morning. (more…)
