I want to see politicians held to the same standards as everyone else. Waiting in long lines for flights. Working 40 hour work weeks. No more taxpayer-subsidized, high-tier healthcare. No more legal immunities. No more voting on their own salary increases. No more burying their own misconduct. No more lies. Equal justice. Full on transparency. They’re not royalty, they work for us.

🚨 WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?! A 19-year-old Iranian Olympic wrestler, Saleh Mohammadi, was just publicly HUNG in Qom by the Iran regime for protesting tyranny. A national team champion. A kid with his whole future ahead. Executed like an animal. Yet Hollywood celebrities and white liberals who scream about every other injustice are DEAD SILENT. Crickets. Why? Because this doesn’t fit their narrative? Shame on every single one of you. #WhereIsTheOutrage #SalehMohammadi #IranExecutions #HollywoodHypocrites #StopIranRegime

FREE SIGNED COPY? Author Scott Fink (A Little Piece of Hell at Gettysburg: The Attack and Defense of the Rose Farm, July 2-3, 1863) just got super creative. Check it out below! Click here to see more, read an excerpt, or order a copy: tinyurl.com/5dnshwrf * * * Since Easter is coming up, I have dropped a couple of Easter Eggs in the cover art I created as they relate to stories in the book. One on the front cover and one on the back. The published version has the back cover obstructed by the advanced praise, but that's ok, it is more important than the art anyway. The first person that finds both with the page numbers where those stories can be found, I will send you a free signed copy of my book!!! For those who haven't had a chance to purchase a copy yet, I will post a link in the comments. Also, feel free to download the art, print it out, hang it on your wall if you would like. It would be my honor. Next time I see you I will sign it for you! Thanks to everyone that has supported my work. #civilwar #civilwarhistory #military #gettysburg

This is a really good read! I recommend it!

@miles_commodore Very good group of people on here. I enjoy the interactions.

It doesn't matter how many followers I have; I will always interact and follow you all. We agree, we disagree, we make each other laugh I really enjoy it. It's my favorite part about being on here.

@dustoff_1sg No, it is not. My blood pressure may be super high these days, but I channel it other ways.

Signing off for awhile to spend quality time with the love of my life. Cheers yall! Anger and hate isn’t the answer.

TOLD you this was coming - we were told we were "conspiracy theorists". Yet here it is! Virginia Democrats have voted to exempt themselves from new gun control measures they’re imposing. “The provision of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly.” REPOST for widespread exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

If TSA is going to be forced to begin shutting down airports as the Democrats withhold DHS funding, they should start with Reagan National in DC. Shut it down when Congress tries to go home this week. As soon as Democrat politicians start being inconvenienced, they’ll fold.

Marching into more books!

EXCERPT #2 from Chapter 2: Soldiering I will post (about once a week) a small portion from each chapter. Some might include footnote text. This one does not. I hope you enjoy them. Click here to read more on my forthcoming book this fall, including the important Introduction: tinyurl.com/3dvax5wz *** Context: Rains and four friends took a week of leave while stationed at Fort Monroe in 1844, donned ridiculous clothing, and hiked up the Virginia Peninsula to Richmond. Rains's remarkable diary entries logged it all. Here is the conclusion of the chapter, after you have met all the characters: *** Their short leave was at an end, but their journey was just beginning. And what a journey it would be. “The Growler’s” young life would come to an end just three years later on the bloody Belen Causeway outside Mexico City on September 13, 1847, where Lt. Calvin Benjamin was killed leading Company G of the 4th U.S. Artillery in an attack against enemy fortifications. The Indiana native is buried in the cemetery at West Point. Unlike his friend Benjamin, Lt. Hachaliah “the Grumbler” Brown would survive the Mexican conflict only to perish less than a decade later in 1853 when, far from his native soil of New York, when a fever took him at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. He is buried in Camden, Benton County, Tennessee. He was twenty-eight. Two decades removed from the Virginia Peninsula excursion and no longer a young lieutenant barking at servants in a Yorktown inn, “Old Soldier” Seth Williams of Maine would find himself a respected brigadier general issuing important orders of his own. He would serve as an assistant adjutant general of the Union Army of the Potomac for much of the Civil War, and Lt. Gen. U. S. Grant would make Williams his inspector general in 1864. Illness during the final months of the war would force him to travel to Boston to live with his sister. He would die there in 1866 from “inflammation of the brain” just one day after his 44th birthday. Lieutenant Mansfield “The Boaster” Lovell would have little to brag about during the second half of his life. The rank of major general in the Confederate Army was awaiting the District of Columbia native in 1861. Instead of being given an infantry command, as he so craved, he would suffer the miserable luck of being handed the all-but-impossible task of holding New Orleans. History would brand the talented and kind-hearted, if somewhat vain, officer with the underserved stigma of being the man who lost the Crescent City in April 1862. “The Boaster” would try his hand at running a rice plantation outside Savannah after the war, but a tidal wave would wipe out his first crop and all but bankrupt him. Death would find him in New York in 1884. George “the Eater” Rains would mostly lose touch with all three after the Mexican War as he traveled from post to post before marrying, leaving the Army, and working in the private sector enjoying a lifestyle none of them could have imagined. Secession would sweep it all away. All of that and more was still yet to be. Such a future was unimaginable during those first five unforgettable days of October 1844. #civilwar #militaryhistory #Augusta #military

Meet Katrina, who appears to work for @GuthrieClinic in NY. She posted a video calling for Iran to ass*ssinate Trump and Republicans by targeting the White House and Mar-a-Lago. Any comment @GuthrieClinic?

@wakeupusa @IndyBeginsAt220 Maybe she needs a refresher course in history. You can’t rewrite it to suit what you want.

Rep. Jayapal: "The majority of Americans know that this country was built by Somalis, Indians, Latinos and Africans." What do you say to her?
