“The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor, and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.” ~ John F. Kennedy

No matter where you are on Earth, we recommend you join Americans in a celebration of our human freedoms by reading the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Be Inspired!

  2. I just drove Xcountry and if the amount of fireworks building up to and on on the eve of the 4th was any indication (even in my folks mostly Dem part of Connecticut) there seems to be an inspired amount of USA pride going on. Granted, I avoided big cities, but there were so many Trump signs with flags still up along the highways and only one Biden in 3500 miles. Perhaps a decent percentage of people have learned to ignore the propaganda/entrainment coming out of their TVs, Soviet style

  3. For the 4th of July, I spent some time researching a small community bank, to gain the freedom of moving my banking away from big banks.

    As for television, I never replaced my analog television when things went digital – don’t miss it at all. There’s plenty of quality content in the new media, including Solari!

    1. Happy Fourth Jennifer. I really enjoyed the Financial Rebellion segment you spearheaded regarding the “Medical Grid”. Appreciated the good reference materials that you presented. Had many years in the insurance industry and found your reporting very interesting relative to today’s health care scene…or lack there of. Recently had to have major surgery on an outpatient basis, Survived and did not get transfused. I am still thanking God for that but made my feelings very clear on that potential necessity with the medical staff going in. It pays to let them know your sentiments and I let them have mine with a double barrel! Keep up the good work!

  5. Happy INDEPENDENCE Day!
    From the ‘Daily Stoic’ – “The goodness inside you is like a small flame, and you are it’s keeper. It’s you job, today and every day, to make sure that it has enough fuel, that it doesn’t get obstructed or snuffed out.
    Every person has their own version of the flame and is responsible for it, just as you are. If they all fail, the world will be a much darker – that is something you don’t control. But so long as your flame flickers, there will be some light in the world.”

  6. I gave up Wi-Fi in my home in June. Experimenting with a break. I’m calling it my, “Not Girl Summer”. So far, I have made new connections with neighbors, play with my puppy 50% more, am learning a Christmas Hymn in Latin which I hope to perform somewhere by Dec. and I’m landscaping my own yard instead of paying the guy $10000, which also resulted in that I quit my gym membership because I am literally, “working out-side” , and no longer need it. Eliminating the option to get lost online (even if it’s mostly “educational”), is making me seek other things to do of course. There are some things I need to do online so I go to the Library, where I also made a few new connections. There is a company coming to my area soon with hard-wired internet, and I’ll probably get it. For now, I enjoy the results. Life somehow feels more like back in childhood pre internet. Slower. More peaceful.
    PS: Great Country we’ve got here: here’s to maintaining it’s core values.

    2. Just hope it’s not Xfinity / Comcast. Poor customer service. Everything is YOUR fault, until proven otherwise. Guy came to check my connection. “You’ve got a dead line.” That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you for 3 weeks. “OK. I’ll take the service call charge off your bill.” Yes, they charged me as soon as he arrived. Climbed the pole and found me and my neighbor were disconnected, probably from when another neighbor had moved out of our townhome community and they disconnected him. So let’s disconnect all 3 even though 2 are still paying. Oh, and I never got credit back for those 3 weeks. That was Sept. I dropped them that Dec. 5 years ago. I use my phone’s hotspot now or take my laptop to library to use their wi-fi. Also, Comcast owns NBC TV.

        1. Thanks. I never heard of them. I looked at their website and see they are only in Tennessee, west of the Tennessee River. I was hoping they might be an alternative for me. But, alas, not available in North Louisiana.
