May we never forget. #davedoesinsurance #kltinsurance #savewithdave

September 11, 2024 The border crisis has been moved, by the Biden/Harris Administration, across America to your state where your state tax dollars will have to deal with all the medical, hospital, educational, housing, crime and other costs for the millions of illegals. An army of terrorist “gotaways” are now in America. An estimated 100,000 gotaways a month, 1,200,000 a year. Are they criminals, sex predators, mentally ill, human traffickers, gang members, drug cartel members, terrorists or sleeper cells? An army of terrorists now in America will make the 911 World Trade Center look like a warm-up and no one is paying attention! Only 19 terrorists to take out the World Trade Center and we have over one million, per year, “gotaways” that crossed the border. Just think what 190,000 terrorists will be able to do. The border and America are not secure. Our cities are not safe. America is not safe.

Memorial Day is a solemn tribute to the courageous men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Originally established to honor Civil War soldiers, this day has grown into a national remembrance for all who have died defending our freedoms and values. This Memorial Day comes at a time when our nation witnesses violent protests on college campuses. Amid these reflections, we also confront controversial expressions of freedom, such as the burning of an American flag. This act, while contentious, is protected under the First Amendment as a form of free speech. It prompts us to question and debate: Does burning an American flag entail a demonstration of freedom of speech? How do we balance respect for our national symbols with the right to individual expression? These events challenge us to confront hate and evil and question what American soldiers were sacrificing their lives for. As we commemorate this day, I invite everyone to reflect: What does Memorial Day mean to you? How do we honor and perpetuate the legacy of those who have sacrificed so much?

Patriot Day, observed on September 11, is profoundly significant in our nation's history. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, when our country faced one of its darkest moments. It's a day to honor the memory of the lives lost and the heroism displayed, but it also signifies the enduring spirit of unity and resilience that defines America. On this Patriot Day, we remember the first responders, the courageous individuals who put their lives on the line to save others, and the countless acts of kindness and solidarity that emerged from the ashes of tragedy. It is a day that underscores the American people's strength and unwavering commitment to freedom and justice. Let Patriot Day remind us that we can overcome even the most challenging circumstances when we stand together and support one another. Today, we commemorate the past, acknowledge our shared resilience, and look forward to a future where these principles continue to guide our nation's journey. #PatriotDay #UnitedWeStand #Remember911 #911

Equity is the closest any human system of justice can come to divine justice. If we can achieve Equity, God will sort out the difference. The Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Miiitary Justice are both anchored by EQUiTY. The standard for Equity to which the Sergeant Major refers?is a stoic dimension established by the Roman Legions by a Roman general, Titus Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus who executed his son for disobedience. This is a Wikipedia summary of the event: >>>>During the conduct of the war, Manlius and his co-consul, Publius Decius Mus, decided that the old military discipline would be reinstated, and no man was allowed to leave his post, under penalty of death. Manlius's son, seeing an opportunity for glory, forgot this stricture, left his post with his friends, and defeated several Latin skirmishers in battle. He brought the spoils back to his father, who publicly berated him for disobedience and had him executed. "Manlian discipline" afterwards became an expression for merciless upholding of rules<<<< (Wikipediea?https://lnkd.in/e6t884wk) Now, as I say, this standard of EQUITY is the anchor of both the civilian rule of law and the military justice system, Socretes submitted himself to the Athenian secular rule of law as an object lesson in the essential basis of democracy. Jesus submitted Himself to both the Law of Moses and to the Roman rule of law as an endorement and validation of Socretes example. In this respect, the Declaration of Indepences is anchored by 6 Ideals of Democratic Socialism to replace the Magna Carta of Tory Socialism:'s Life Liberty and Property/ John Locke identifies. Thos 6 Ideals are: Life Liberty, Fraternity, Equaulity, EQUITY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The 6 white stripes of Old Glory symbolize those Ideals. The 6 red stripes are the blood of the Patriots at Yorktown who sanctified those Ideals. The 2nd Amendment represents the Constitutional boundary between the Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The "well regulated militia' claused in the 2nd Amendment refers specividally to thie Ideal of EQUITY of the Miitary Justice System. It has nothing to do with private gun ownership. Furthermore, the EQUITY ideal is what is expressed by the E in Mark Cuban's DEI/ZenBusiness Model, Prject 2025 is opposed to EQUITY as it may apply to white supremaicests. The concept of EQUITY in this regards has obviously never occurred to Trump. J.D. Vance was a Marine, so it’s hard to know wht he believes. The military has been a DEI instituion since Truman integrated the federal government.

Today, we observe Patriot Day, a solemn remembrance for all those we lost on September 11, 2001. We honor their memories, acknowledge the heroism of those who served in the aftermath, and reflect on our shared resilience. Let us all take a moment to remember and unite in our continued journey toward hope and healing. ???? #Adventum #cfo #businessadvisory #financialmanagement #businessmanagement #financialsecurity #patriotday

My G-d, we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel if this is something that people are seriously saying. This is just insanely ridiculous and stupid… #CandaceOwens #massively #embarrassed herself in this #cringeworthy video where she #minimizes #Hitler and the #Holocaust, #engages in #historical #revisionism and repeats #antiSemitic and #NeoNazi talking points. #Adolf #Hitler did much worse then just #ethnic #cleansing. He killed #six #million #Jews and #five #million others. The #Nazis committed #outright #genocide. She claims the #Allied #Powers #ethnically #cleansed #12 #million #Germans. This is total #nonsense and a #misunderstanding of #history. What she is referring to is the #ethnic #cleansing of #Germans from the #nations of #Eastern and #Central #Europe by the #Soviet #Union and the #governments of those #countries AFTER the #war. She clearly had no clue what she’s talking about and is #historically #illiterate. The #expulsion of #12 #million #ethnic #Germans from #Eastern and #Central #Europe in the #Postwar #era was to be sure a #terrible #tragedy and a #piece of #history that deserves to be more well known. But it can NOT be compared in any way, shape or form to the #Holocaust. The #Shoah was something completely different and was #oppression on a whole other #level! It’s one thing to #expel a whole group of people from a #country. That’s bad enough. But it’s quite another to start a #campaign of #systemic #murder to #wipe them out!

As a former Army medic, reflecting on September 11, 2001, brings back vivid memories of how deeply it shaped not only the military but also the nation as a whole. The attacks marked a turning point, sparking the War on Terror, leading to deployments that forever altered the trajectory of so many lives—military personnel, first responders, and civilians alike. For medics, the aftermath saw a heightened emphasis on combat readiness and trauma care, as we found ourselves deploying to areas where our skills were critical in saving lives under fire. The immediate response to 9/11 was a surge of patriotism and a sense of duty. Many, including myself, were motivated by the need to serve and protect. The warzones we entered in Iraq and Afghanistan had a distinct intensity, with the constant need to provide medical care in challenging and dangerous environments. It also redefined the scope of care, blending battlefield medicine with innovations in trauma care that have since improved survival rates for soldiers and civilians alike. The impact of 9/11 endures, not just in military strategy or geopolitics, but in the personal stories of those who served. For many of us, it was the catalyst for a career that tested our resilience, taught us the value of life, and left a lasting imprint on our view of sacrifice and service. #NeverForget #September11 #ArmyMedicReflections #ServiceAndSacrifice #CombatMedic #Patriotism #WarOnTerror

As we celebrate our nation’s Declaration of Independence that happened 248 years ago, CONSIDER THIS: The American flag does NOT fly because it represents one political party or another. Our flag and this holiday are a reminder of founding fathers and brave soldiers who fought for our nation’s INDEPENDENCE and the FREEDOM to self-govern under GENUINE DEMOCRACY. It is a reminder for ALL races of our nation’s enduring commitment to JUSTICE, LIBERTY, and the importance of INTEGRITY (in the public eye and behind closed doors). As we navigate the complexities of these times, may we ALL choose to engage in encouraging THOUGHTFUL reflection and DIALOGUE instead of divisiveness. As our pledge of allegiance says: We are ONE nation under God. Isn’t time we started acting like that? . . . #July4th #Independence #OneNationUnderGod
