Hair Growth Expert: ‘Wake Up Sleeping Follicles Now’ Plastic Surgey and Improvements Cost Them Too Much That is the virtue of piety , honored in every human culture of which I am aware. When I was a boy, I had a powerful experience of this virtue every year, on Memorial Day. Early in the morning, a parade led by veterans in uniform would proceed up the hill to the Lutheran cemetery near our house. A group of us boys followed them, because we wanted to see and hear the rifles when they fired the 21-gun salute, to honor the men who had served their nation in war. Then, under the tall fir trees and among the gravestones and the smoke, a single veteran with a bugle played Taps. It stirred us to the soul.
Being boys, though, we had more cheerful things in mind. In those days, lawsuits had not yet laid their dead hands on childhood, so we were allowed to hop on the fire trucks—that was why we had gotten up so early, after all—as they and the parade and the band made their way through town, till they stopped a second time, at the Catholic cemetery, there to hear Mass, and afterwards to return to the American Legion, where the members passed out doughnuts and orange juice.
We don’t honor our fathers and mothers because they were perfect. We ourselves are sinners as they were. We honor them because they were our fathers and mothers, and they gave us a gift we cannot repay, the gift of life itself. What applies to our parents and grandparents applies also, by analogy, to our homeland, our nation. We should not be like Ham, who took delight in revealing his father Noah’s nakedness. American history is, if you wish to regard it so, a terrible saga of violence, greed, and treachery. But so is the history of every nation, and the pre-history of every clan and tribe. That is not to excuse us, but to be honest, and to hold that terribly clear mirror up to ourselves.
We are not saints. We […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
