Read moreIn June of this year, next month, the game playing of insurrectionists, who tried and failed to take over our government by violent means will face the music in front of the American people. The facts will be laid out by a Committee of the United States House of Representatives and the people of this country will be able to judge for themselves what happened leading up to, on, and following the violent storming of our Capitol on January 6th.

Our stories about what really matters form the core of meaning in our lives.
Read moreShould we be expected to blindly accept the results of our elections without question? To create a smokescreen, anyone questioning the results have been marked as a “Conspiracy Theorist.” Those blindly accepting this accusation should seriously examine the truth embedded in these claims which cause a so-called conspiracy to spread so fiercely throughout our nation. Turning a blind eye to these facts is what could cause us to lose our country. The truth which exists in these claims is what Patriots find dire enough to take a stand and fight for what’s right for all our country’s citizens.
