LeapFrogs (Credit: Jim Thompson) Here’s a fun read to prepare for our sacred July 4th Independence Day:
How patriotic is the state where you live? Or wish you did? Or grew up in?
I’ve been to all 50 states for one reason or another, lived in 11 of them, 10 for school or work. However, I had never thought of states beyond red-blue, humid-dry, green-brown, ocean-rivers, flat-mountains.
But the folks over at the personal finance and credit-monitoring service WalletHub.com have devised an imaginative matrix to determine Patriotism by State, according to 13 metrics such as military enlistees, veterans, voter participation, jury-duty participation, and volunteering rate.
(Yes, sure, go over there and argue the criteria. They even have an interactive map.)
The findings are timely given our divisive politically-partisan days and also revealing about the demographic characteristics of each political subdivision of our nation. The results both support some popular beliefs and dispel others.
Overall, it turns out: Red states are the most patriotic. (You probably knew that.)

New Jersey had the highest voter-participation rate last November at 78.3 percent, Arkansas the worst with 54 percent.
Alaska has the most military veterans per 1,000 civilian adults at 137 vs. New York the least with 51.

In fact, they volunteer more than twice as much as the residents of Florida, the bottom-ranking volunteer state with 23 percent and so many ex-New Yorkers. (Tennessee, the nation’s official Volunteer State from Civil War days, comes in 30 th overall at 31.3 percent, 34 th in terms of total volunteer hours, 29 th for AmeriCorps volunteers, and 42d for Peace Corps volunteers.)OK, you’ve waited long enough. Overall, WalletHub found the most patriotic state of all 50 has a Big Sky. It’s Montana, 43d-ranked in population but fourth in area (a little larger than three New Yorks).Others in descending order of the Top 20 were:Alaska, Maryland, Vermont, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wyoming, Minnesota, Oregon, Virginia, Utah, Idaho, Wisconsin, Washington, Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and ColoradoIn terms of WalletHub’s patriotism rankings, No. […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
