Well, I have some news that's going to make some people uncomfortable...
My wife and I are pulling our youngest out of North Carolina public schools and my wife will be homeschooling him.
And no, we're not sorry about it.
We didn't come to this decision lightly. We prayed on it, argued about it, ran the numbers, lost sleep over it.
But every road led back to the same common theme: nobody on God's green earth loves that boy more than his mother and I do, and nobody is more responsible for who he becomes than us.
Yet, rather ironically, despite believing this somewhere along the way, we handed that responsibility to strangers and... trusted them with it.
His mind. His values. His time. His education. His TRUTH.
...and this past year, for the first time, we stopped and asked whether they'd earned that trust.
We don't think they did.
So we're taking it back.
Yeah, we're scared. Scared we'll get something wrong. Scared of the workload. Nervous about what people will say.
But I'll take the fear of us doing it ourselves over the quiet horror of watching our son be indoctrinated in utter BS woke nonsense and be laughed at for believing in God and mocked for liking President Trump (all of which occurred this year.
So yeah, he's going to read the hard books. The ones they'd rather he didn't.
He's going to learn history that hasn't been run through an anti-White woke filter.
He's going to know exactly where he comes from and what he believes.
Most importantly, he's going to grow up watching his mother choose him, to spend every day, all day with him, over what was easy.
They had their shot. They blew it.
We've got him from here. 🇺🇸
"I was trying to hold it together while filming this moment. Seeing this soldier standing so tall after everything he's sacrificed... it was truly overwhelming. And his loyal K9 partner, right by his side. Their bond is just unbreakable. The way the dog looks up at him just says everything you need to know. Pure love and respect. This is a moment I will never, ever forget."
🚨 TRUE AMERICAN HERO, KOREAN WAR MARINE RUDY MEEKINS
This legendary U.S. Marine earned FOUR Purple Hearts for wounds in combat…
But the memory that stayed with him all these years wasn’t about the battlefield.
It was a young Korean boy who handmade a Korean flag from a rice sack, and traded it to Rudy for a single can of beans.
In the middle of hell, a small act of kindness and humanity between a Marine and a local kid.
This is what our Greatest Generation was made of. Warriors with hearts of gold who fought for freedom and showed compassion even in war.
Respect to Rudy Meekins. These stories need to be told.
Semper Fi, Marine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂
🎂🥳🎂🥳🎂🥳🎂🥳🥳🎂🥳
Clint Eastwood was born on May 31, 1930, and turns 96 this month.
One of his most well-known quotes is: "Do not let the old man in."
That line became a personal motto about aging, discipline, and refusing to mentally give up. It came from a conversation about staying active, staying curious, and continuing to move forward no matter your age.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and many more ahead.
🚨 SECWAR JUST ADMINISTERED THE REENLISTMENT OF MARINE LEGEND STAFF SERGEANT JOHNNY JOEY JONES!
The Department of War making it official, one of America’s greatest living heroes is back in uniform.
From machine gunner in Iraq to EOD tech in Afghanistan… losing both legs to an IED in Helmand… fighting through recovery at Walter Reed… and never stopping his service to this country.

The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests!
I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system!
A FAMILY IS WAITING: 17-year-old Jayden Kriens missing from Gainesville, Georgia.
Move with urgency for him: https://t.co/X89LHdVS8r.
Not tomorrow. Not later. NOW.
I believe in the power of prayer. Please join me in praying for Maddox. Dear Jesus, please heal him and help his family get through this difficult time 🙏✝️🙏
Last night Maddox Graser had two hits and helped his Wooster High School baseball team win 10 to 0.
He was perfectly fine.
By 8 pm he was throwing up at home. It got worse fast. He was rushed to the hospital in Wooster and then life flighted to the Pediatric ICU at Akron Children’s Hospital this morning.
Maddox is a sophomore. A second baseman. A teammate. A son.
Right now he has no brain activity.
From a baseball field celebrating a win to a pediatric ICU fighting for his life in less than twelve hours. His family never saw this coming. Nobody did.
His mom and dad are sitting in that hospital right now needing every prayer they can get.
If you believe in miracles please stop scrolling right now and say one for Maddox. His family is pleading for them.
Please share this post. The wider this reaches the more people are praying over this young man tonight.
Maddox Graser. Remember that name and lift it up.
Former Delta Force K9 handler Sergeant Major Jeremy Knabenshue and his Military Working Dog, Weblo.
Weblo started his life as a beaten down Belgian Malinois from Holland that flinched at every sudden movement. In Jeremy’s hands, he would become one of the most decorated combat K9s in modern US Special Operations history.
Together, the pair deployed seven times to Iraq and Afghanistan alongside America’s Tier 1 operators. On Halloween night 2007, Weblo was shot through the abdomen while clearing a building in Iraq. Jeremy was the only man on target carrying a K9 first aid kit. Under fire, he treated Weblo in the dirt, saved his life, and watched his partner make a full recovery and return to duty.
Weblo went on to save countless American lives across multiple deployments, once catching an enemy combatant hiding in wait with an AK-47 at a breach point, something no operator or aircraft above had spotted.
Weblo retired in 2012 and lived out his days as a family protector. On March 8, 2016, Jeremy gave him a final helicopter ride over the airfield, the wind in his fur one last time, before letting him go peacefully.
Warriors come in all shapes and sizes, and some of them have four legs.
