American pride is out here, hiding in plain sight
By Salena Zito
WEST NEWTON, Pennsylvania — As the sun dipped below the horizon of the Laurel Mountains off in the distance of the Evergreen Drive-In Theater, families with children were spread out on their sleeping blankets in front of their cars. A cluster of couples were sitting in folding chairs, enjoying each other's company.
Then, they all stood and placed their hands over their hearts. They joined together in singing the national anthem as it was played across all three screens.
They remained standing and sang along with the images on the screen to Lee Greenwood's “Proud to be an American" immediately after that. Seasoned attendees can always tell who the newbies are to the experience — they’re the ones moved to tears and wonder on their faces.
It is a scene repeated over and over again seven days a week before each movie; I have been hard-pressed to find anyone, young or old, who refuses to participate. When the music starts, everyone immediately stands up and sings. It is and remains a truly remarkable and moving experience for anyone who consumes the news or social media on a regular basis.
Equally rare is a night, any night, when the Evergreen Drive-In isn’t packed. There are often several dozen cars waiting in line at dusk, hoping there will be enough room for their family or their group of friends to Click for the full

Via Caravan No. 2235
In this edition of The Caravan, scholars describe challenges in America’s relationship with Arab states in the Gulf region. Topics include future prospects of the Abraham Accords, US Naval involvement in Middle East security, and the history of US–Saudi diplomacy and how the current rift between the two countries can be repaired. In one essay, Cole Bunzel describes the fallout of the Biden administration’s deliberate policy of downgrading, or “recalibrating,” the relationship with Riyadh because of the Saudi leadership’s non-stellar record on human rights. This policy included a pause on the sale of $47 million in precision-guided missiles to Saudi Arabia. When global oil prices surged above $100 a barrel as a result of of Russia’s war on Ukraine, Saudi leadership ignored the White House’s demands to pump more crude. Bunzel contends that the Biden administration’s policy of recalibration has evolved to rehabilitation, as evident in the president’s planned meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia this month. In another essay, Russell Berman argues that the United States’ recent Gulf policy suffers from two flaws: 1) public announcements about a reduction of American security presence in the region that has prompted local actors to hedge their bets and look elsewhere for support; and 2) the initiation of a rapprochement with Tehran and the revival of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which may enhance Iranian power to the detriment of Sunni states.

Critical race theory, transgenderism and ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ are destroying our military
By Tony Lentini, AM THINKER
Military recruitment in the United States is way down at the same time as the Biden Administration is driving out so-called “White supremacists” (anybody who voted for Trump or believes in the Constitution), those opposed to taking the COVID vaccine due to religious or health concerns or natural immunity, and people who refuse to use the preferred pronouns of gender activists. The result of all this is a neutered and divided military increasingly unable to fight and win wars.
Recent polling by the University of Chicago found that two-thirds of Republican and Independent voters and 51 percent of self-described “very liberal” voters agree that the U.S. government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me.” Trust in all our institutions is falling and the military is no exception.

Revolt Against the Liberal World Order -

Disgruntled Democrats, dangerous radicals and loopy progressives
are entitled to their views but their thinking does not accord with
that of mainstream Americans. This is why they are dangerous.
Obama told us he wanted to transform America and he laid the
foundation for doing just that and everything about our nation
proceeded downhill.
For those who are called "deplorables" we believe in secure national borders, identification proof to vote, embrace everything possible to eliminate fraud in voting, protect citizens with functioning police departments that enforce laws, accept the Constitution as the greatest document devised by man and are willing to live by its dictates. With respect to the Constitution, we also believe Supreme Court Justices should not do what the legislature cannot. We believe parents raise children not school teachers who hate our country nor arrogant out of control school boards.
We also accept the fact that America is not perfect but has proven we have the ability to correct our errors in judgement. We accept the fact that we are unlike most nations because the dictates of our Constitution allow us to change and thus we are a work in progress.
We seek nothing of other nations and have proven we will come to the aid of those who are oppressed and endangered.
Americans are not a threat to the world and that is why we are feared by the radicals and those who believe people must be controlled by oppressive governments. It is in man's nature to be free .
Neither do we claim capitalism is perfect but it has done more to allow man to be creative, to produce more wealth for more people than any other economic system. We do not seek to enhance our livelihood by stealing the assets and creativity of others as does China.
Speaking personally, this is why I want the current Democrat Party to suffer an overwhelming defeat. They have earned it with their backward thinking, their off the chart behaviour and morally and intellectually corrupt practices.
For those who find nothing redeeming in America, I welcome them to leave and seek a better life elsewhere. I no longer wish to tolerate their desire to remain here while destroying opportunities for those who love this country. That they seek to retain power at any cost denies them the right to the privilege's a free people deserve and have fought for with their lives
I am fed up with the current imbecile who was elected to lead this great nation because his predecessor was a narcissist and boor. Trump, for all his personal faults, was the right man at the right time and did what he promised and against great odds by those who did everything in their underhanded illegal way to destroy him and impede his administration. Trump, for all his blemishes, made significant progress and achieved things his predecessors sought but failed to do.
No, Trump was not a politician. In his own crazy way, he loves this country and believed it was his elected duty to place our nation first unlike most politicians who only seek re-election so they can continue their narrow, self-interest objectives.
If there ever was a time to throw the rascals out it is now.
