When you peel all of the toxic propaganda skin from the onion of public opinion, you recognize more and more the institutional leftist legacy “media” is the enemy of this republic.

Show me a challenging current day issue of public interest, any issue, and I will prove to you root of the cancer infecting the United States of America is the media. – Yes, it is that bad.

The extent of the media manipulation toward the position of the “collectivist” is so bad there is no longer a single ‘event’, significant or otherwise, they will not try to mold to fit their ideological view of the world.

The latest example is the creme filled sponge cake – The Twinkie. (more…)

God Bless all those in uniformed service whose dedication and selflessness provides the blanket of peace, security and freedom we sleep under in comfort and quiet.

The struggle for freedom is eternal and ongoing; there are only brief respites; we should never be lulled into a false sense of triumph ~ for, the battle is never won as those who seek subjugation and tyranny are never entirely vanquished.  Our highest ideals are given succor when the flame of Liberty burns brightly ~ but it is always in danger of being extinguished when we are lax in our vigilance.

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito

“Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it.”

Gratitude, always, to those at home and afar, called to guard the flame no matter what the personal cost.

“In everything give Thanks”

I Thessalonians 5:18

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted a brokered peace deal by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi after meeting with US SOS Clinton.  This, despite 70% Israeli support for continued self-defense against attacks from Hamas in the Gaza Strip.  The cease fire was set for 9pm Tel Aviv time (3pm EST) – during first hour rocket attacks from Gaza Strip continued.

WH says Pres Obama urged Netanyahu to agree to the Egyptian ceasefire proposal while reiterating Israel's right to defend itself.

FUBAR – Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said the deal included an agreement to open all border crossings with the Gaza Strip, including the important Rafah crossing with Egypt. A copy of the deal obtained by The Associated Press appeared to be somewhat vague about the details on the crossings. (more…)

Cut to the chase – You know why?   Because it was empty.  No-one was trying to do anything to help Our Americans while they were being attacked and murdered over the course of 9 hours from 3:40pm DC time to after Midnight when Ty Woods and Glen Doherty were killed.

Obama went to bed while Woods and Doherty begged for help.   The 3am phone call rang at 3pm and it was ignored …” – take a message – we’ve got a fundraiser in Nevada tomorrow”..

PROOF – The White House Photo Office has declined CBS News requests to release images taken of US officials during the Sept. 11 Benghazi attacks. (more…)

What would turkey day be without turkey and all the trimmings? Surely we have all been very happy to see Grandma come through that door with her oh so delicious dressing (here in the south it is not  stuffing!) How about Aunt Bessie’s sweet potato casserole or Uncle Smitty’s corn pudding? Emilie’s pumpkin cake, Pam’s chess bars, Becky’s dream turkey (Long, sad story. Short version: Thanksgiving dinner was very late that day!) It would be so wonderful to have some regional favorites throw in. What part of the country actually roasts chestnuts by the open fire? I always pictured a snowy scene outside a large picture window in the background, with gently rolling wooded hills. How far off is my childhood mental image?

We Treepers wish all of you a fun filled week of holiday preparations. These are the best of times!
