I want to take a second and wish all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures across America a Happy Father’s Day weekend!
Be Blessed!
Honored to help welcome home one of our own – a true North Dakota hero – U.S. Army Air Forces Staff Sergeant Irvin C. Ellingson.
80 years after passing, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency finally accounted for SSGT Ellingson, who was killed during World War II while being held as a prisoner of war in Tokyo on May 26, 1945.
And now he’s finally home. No longer missing in action. No longer a lingering question mark about his final resting place. In North Dakota, we never forget the soldiers who fought and laid down their lives in battle for their fellow Americans.
Thank you to all who helped us provide a proper homecoming for SSGT Ellingson. We hope it brings his family comfort and peace, knowing this native son of North Dakota is finally home where he belongs.

Baseball has been woven into the fabric of America for well over a century. Through every era, every generation, every championship, and every unforgettable moment, one thing has remained the same: players turning to God.
Before the first pitch. After the final out. Before a big at-bat. After a walk-off home run. On the mound. In the dugout. On their knees in prayer. Pointing to heaven in gratitude.
You can try to push God out of the game, but He’s not going anywhere.
Some of the greatest players in baseball history have thanked God for their talents, their opportunities, and the strength to compete. Faith has always been part of baseball because faith is part of the lives of the men who play it.
Baseball and Jesus have been together for generations, and they’ll be together for generations to come.
The uniforms may change. The stadiums may change. The players may change.
But the prayers never will. John 3:16.
Rob Schneider is putting his money behind the message.
The Hollywood star says he'll cover any potential fines for MLB players who wear Bible verses on their uniforms after league officials warned three San Francisco Giants pitchers who displayed Bible references on their Pride Night caps.
The moment has quickly turned into a bigger fight over religious expression, league rules, and where MLB draws the line on what players can show on the field.
They ruled Iryna’s killer is incompetent to stand trial.
The same system ruled this man was plenty competent enough to be released back into society dozens of times.
It’s past time to remove these left wing activist judges.
In a recent poll, 55% of Democrats said they would rather live in another country than the United States. And 74% believed that America has failed to live up to its founding ideals. But before Republicans respond with, “good riddance! I'll buy your ticket,” I don't think that's the solution here.
To an extent, I can agree that America has failed to live up to the promises our founding documents make. Martin Luther King Jr. also agreed. But instead of telling black Americans to just abandon those documents (like some wanted him to), he called them a promissory note.
He said the men who built this nation signed a promise, even if they didn’t live up to it, that EVERY SINGLE American would be guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That’s the difference compared to the squawking leftists of today. Today, it’s the documents and the foundation that are the issue. MLK could have said the same thing, but he didn’t. He refused to renounce the founding. Instead, he demanded that Washington cash the check and fulfill the promise.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.
What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.
If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
OTD in 1978 the #MNTwins select Kent Hrbek in the 17th round of the MLB draft. He remains #2 in team history in HRs & RBIs and his .848 OPS is second behind Killebrew’s .901 (min 3,000 PAs). Few Twins have been more consequential than Kent Hrbek.
