Eternal Rest Grant Unto Them, Oh Lord

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen~

Every year I post this video. I am very proud to have called the little town of Ringgold, Georgia my home for many years. Every year we drive back down to spend the few minutes it takes to go through town, the main stretch and all the little side roads, and appreciate the flags, and honor the fallen.

May the blood cost of our freedom be increasingly appreciated and honored. And may America always be blessed with towns and people like this, who remember and honor our fallen because they value our freedom and know the cost.

God Bless America.

Happy Memorial Day – Thank You Veterans and Servicemembers

The Ascension of the Lord

Lk 24:46-53

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer
and rise from the dead on the third day
and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins,
would be preached in his name
to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you;
but stay in the city
until you are clothed with power from on high.”

Then he led them out as far as Bethany,
raised his hands, and blessed them.
As he blessed them he parted from them
and was taken up to heaven.
They did him homage
and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and they were continually in the temple praising God.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the County Employment and Wages Summary Wednesday [DATA HERE].  The economic tracking measures the employment and wage increases at a county level throughout 343 counties in the nation.

The BLS measures the data on an annual basis from December 2020 through December 2021.  The average rate of wage growth at a county level was 5.9%, far lower than the measured 8.5% inflation rate.  That means real wages, the income of most Americans at the county level have dropped.

However, within the data Florida stands out as having the largest number of counties exceeding the national average.  23 Florida counties are included in the BLS tracking.  An incredible 21 out of 23 Florida counties have wage growth that far exceeds the national average. [BLS, Table-1]

Additionally, Florida holds the top spot for the highest annual rate of wage growth in Palm Beach County with 15.6%…. AND… Florida holds the top spot for the highest annual rate of wage growth amid the ten largest counties, with Miami-Dade wage gains of 11.1%. [BLS, Table-2]

Congratulations Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida workers.   You have the rare distinction of having wage growth overall that exceeds the BLS measured level of Biden inflation.   It’s no wonder why so many people are heading to Florida for jobs.

FREEDOM. If you keep it, they will come.

Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas Primary Election Night, Results and Open Discussion


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 24, 2022 | Sundance

Tonight, is the primary election vote for Alabama, Arkansas and the key races in Georgia.  Additionally, there are runoff races in Texas and Minnesota special elections.

The key contest most people will be watching is in Georgia, where GOPe Club Governor Brian Kemp is facing a challenge from former Senator David Perdue. The winner will face Stacey Abrams, a Democrat who is unopposed in her primary, in the general election.  This primary is open for people in either party to request ballots. There will be democrats voting with republican ballots, and the most favorable outcome would be for Kemp to be held under 50% of the vote.

President Trump-endorsed Hershel Walker is also running for the Senate on the Georgia republican ballot.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Easily Wins Arkansas Republican Primary Race for Governor


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 24, 2022 | Sundance

This is good news.  Former President Trump spokesperson, and daughter to the former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has easily won the republican primary election for Governor of Arkansas with more than 80 percent of the vote.   Who doesn’t like Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

UPDATE, Primary Election 2022 – May 3rd, Ohio and Indiana – Results and Open Discussion Thread


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 3, 2022 | Sundance

Today is primary day in Ohio and Indiana.  Additionally, there are five state legislative run-offs today, four in Michigan and one seat in Georgia where candidates did not get 50% of the vote.

Most of the nation will be focused on Ohio for the republican senate primary and governor’s race. J.D. Vance secured President Donald Trump’s endorsement in a crowded and contentious senate primary. On the Democratic side, Rep Tim Ryan is considered the front-runner.

UPDATE: President Trump endorsed J.D. Vance wins the republican senate primary.  The Trump endorsed candidates are so far winning every seat in the primary.  Media melting down because MAGA remains strong!

Unfortunately, Mike DeWine meekly wins the governor’s race with less than 50% of the vote.  The splitter strategy worked to protect DeWine from the “anyone but DeWine” vote.   Very frustrating.  

Consider this an open discussion thread throughout the evening.

How Non-Career Politicians Speak


Armstrong Economics Blog/Humor Re-Posted Apr 10, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Trump spoke candidly and off-the-cuff. He never wanted to be restricted by cue cards. As Nigel Farage said, people disliked Trump’s “New York-style,” but hey, you can’t deny that the man had a sense of humor.

Oh, and by the way, Kimmel, Al Gore was the politician who claimed to create the internet.
