@iamrodneysmith @realArtEdwards Rodney, you have done so much for this country! You are an inspiration to us all. You are single handedly creating a new generation of service minded citizens! Thank you for being the torch and bringing light to our country!

“ Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.”- Unknown. You will never be forgotten !

This Memorial Day weekend, remember the two greatest sacrifices ever made for mankind. One carried the cross. The other carried the flag. One died for your soul. The other died for your freedom. May we never take either for granted. Amen!

It’s not about long weekend. It’s about those 🇺🇸 who never got one. Memorial Day 2026

God Bless America and the ones who traded their tomorrow for ours! We remember you! 🙏🇺🇸

This is why you don’t kneel for the national anthem.

🇺🇸 Just in case you forgot why you have a three-day weekend… This is it. Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales. This is the reason. The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free. This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen. We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.

Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag pole down on his Virginia property awhile back? You might remember the news story several months ago about a crotchety old man in Virginia who defied his local Homeowners Association and refused to take down the flag pole on his property along with the large American flag he flew on it. Now we learn who that old man was. On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg, Texas . That probably didn't make news back then. But twenty five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Cyrano, Italy, That same Van T. Barfoot, who had in 1940 enlisted in the U.S. Army, set out alone to flank German machine gun positions from which gunfire was raining down on his fellow soldiers. His advance took him through a minefield but having done so, he proceeded to single-handedly take out three enemy machine gun positions, returning with 17 prisoners of war. And if that weren’t enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions. That probably didn’t make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after also serving In Korea and Vietnam , a well deserved Congressional Medal of Honor. What did make news was his Neighborhood Association's quibble with how the 90-year-old Veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the HOA rules said it was OK to fly a flag on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were "unsuitable." Van Barfoot had been denied a permit for the pole, but erected it anyway and was facing Court action unless he agreed to take it down. Then the HOA story made national TV, and the Neighborhood Association rethought its position and agreed to indulge this aging hero who dwelt among them. "In the time I have left", he said to the Associated Press, "I plan to continue to fly the American flag without interference." As well he should. And if any of his neighbors had taken a notion to contest him further, they might have done well to read his Medal of Honor citation first. Seems it Indicates Mr. Van Barfoot wasn't particularly good at backing down. If you've read this post and don't share it, - Guess what -You need your butt kicked. I share this with you because I don't want MY butt kicked anymore and I'm tired of seeing those who hate our country yet march in our streets, tear down our statues, burn our stores and loot our businesses have a free hand to do whatever they want. WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! AND, BECAUSE OF BRAVE OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT!

@ImMeme0 As a stage 4 cancer survivor, I find this so demonic and hateful. Cancer is horrible. How could someone spew such venom? @sfdefender

Meet Nyisha DuVal-Brown, who wished a painful death on Tulsi Gabbard’s husband, who is currently battling cancer, as well as on Tulsi herself. According to her LinkedIn, she is a paralegal at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. You know what to do!

I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! 16-year-old Joseph Samuel is DE*D in Charlotte, NC because the man charged with his m*rder, who has been arrested ELEVEN PREVIOUS TIMES... ...WAS LET OUT OF PRISON 9 MONTHS AGO FOR TRYING TO M*RDER SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!! ELEVEN PRIOR ARRESTS. THIRTY PRIOR CHARGES. Meet Taquawn "Buck" Lewis, he is 28 years old. In 2019, Lewis was convicted of ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON WITH INTENT TO K*LL INFLICTING SERIOUS INJURY. He tried to m*rder somebody and the judge sentenced him to the MINIMUM POSSIBLE SENTENCE: Six years and one month. He was released from prison in AUGUST 2025. NINE MONTHS LATER, he shoots a 16-year-old child who was JUST WALKING A PATH HOME to DE*TH in broad daylight in Charlotte. He was on PAROLE. He had a gun he was BARRED BY LAW from possessing. Every. Single. Failure. Was. Preventable. A judge let him out at the minimum. A parole board approved his release. Joseph Samuel is de*d because NOT A SINGLE FREAKING ONE OF THEM did their job. PLEASE STOP LETTING VIOLENT PEOPLE OUT OF PRISON. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

@kingkapoor72 We are coming over the pond in the fall! Can’t wait to eat at your restaurant!

There are rumours circulating that Rangrez is closed. That is completely false. The restaurant was only shut for a few days while I've been away visiting Gurdwaras and temples in India, seeking blessings, strength, and clarity. 🙏 We are open from today, stronger than ever. Thank you to everyone who continues to support Rangrez through the noise. ❤️

🚨 Sheridan Gorman's father is absolutely TORCHING Democrats on stage with Trump "I'm not a politician. I'm not a public speaker. I'm a father whose daughter was MURDERED by an illegal." "I'm a husband who had to hold his wife on Mother's Day when she asked the question no mother should ever have to ask: "am I still the mother of two?" "Yes, Jess, you're still the mother of two because Sheridan will always be our daughter. No mother should ever have to ask that question, and no father should ever have to answer it. This is what FAILED POLICIES have done to our family." "NO FAMILY should have to become experts in immigration failures, release policies, warrants, sanctuary laws, enforcement breakdowns because their daughter was KlLLED by someone who should NOT have been here, and should NOT be free."

🚨REVIVAL: Over 2,500 students and Americans were baptized at Hanna Park in Jacksonville this weekend.

Today is the largest beach / ocean baptism in the USA. Maybe the world. Last year, 2000 people were baptized and publicly declared that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior. See all of those lines of red shirts? Every one of them is getting baptized. 10 lanes and people traveling from ~30 states. What will the number be this year? I have no idea, but I’m positive it will look like the photo below or even larger. This happens in Jacksonville Florida and is led and produced by the Church of Eleven22. This is one of the reasons I’m extremely confident that the Holy Spirit is setting the stage for a national revival. That revival is already in full swing in DUVAL 🐆

@grok @NeoAndTrinity_ @DonnePetro There are meds that help with HIV. Maybe bo rejected the Holy Spirit.

Yes, those specific predictions by Kim Clement are cited by critics as unfulfilled: no record of Obama receiving the Holy Spirit in summer 2010 with the described policy shift, and no angel descending on LA on March 5, 2002, to cure homosexuals of AIDS/HIV. Supporters emphasize other words (like Trump-related ones) they view as accurate, while skeptics list misses like the 2002 AIDS cure timeline. Interpretation depends on the listener.

@grok has some of Kim's prophecies not come true? Clement prophesied Barack Obama would receive the Holy Spirit in summer 2010, radically changing U.S. policies to bless Americans—it never happened. He declared an angel would descend on Los Angeles on March 5, 2002, to cure homosexuals of AIDS/HIV and save them—no such event occurred.

@AmericanVeter25 @SECNAV I am sorry for your struggles. Cancer sucks. I don’t know the answers, but I will pray for you.

I have been fighting this since 2000, I got help and it helped but now the stress of daily life the inability to work and pay my bills plus I am battling cancer, now the dreams are back, I can't sleep, I am starting to sweat again at night, I woke up screaming, looking for my Uniform, it seems the medicine has stopped working, I'm getting desperate.

You may not see my scars, but they are there. I know trauma. I know pain. I also know that seeking help is a sign of strength. I did, and you can too. This Mental Health Awareness Month, I remain committed to breaking down barriers to care for our Sailors and Marines. You are always worth fighting for.

@JayShap46495927 @SECNAV @jaketapper That was debunked and spell check might be something that could become your new friend.

@SECNAV @jaketapper And You’re Draft Dodging President believes you are a Sucker and a Loser
