Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag pole down on his Virginia property awhile back? You might remember the news story several months ago about a crotchety old man in Virginia who defied his local Homeowners Association and refused to take down the flag pole on his property along with the large American flag he flew on it.
Now we learn who that old man was. On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg, Texas . That probably didn't make news back then.
But twenty five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Cyrano, Italy, That same Van T. Barfoot, who had in 1940 enlisted in the U.S. Army, set out alone to flank German machine gun positions from which gunfire was raining down on his fellow soldiers. His advance took him through a minefield but having done so, he proceeded to single-handedly take out three enemy machine gun positions, returning with 17 prisoners of war.
And if that weren’t enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions.
That probably didn’t make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after also serving In Korea and Vietnam , a well deserved Congressional Medal of Honor.
What did make news was his Neighborhood Association's quibble with how the 90-year-old Veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the HOA rules said it was OK to fly a flag on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were "unsuitable."
Van Barfoot had been denied a permit for the pole, but erected it anyway and was facing Court action unless he agreed to take it down.
Then the HOA story made national TV, and the Neighborhood Association rethought its position and agreed to indulge this
aging hero who dwelt among them.
"In the time I have left", he said to the Associated Press, "I plan to continue to fly the American flag without interference."
As well he should. And if any of his neighbors had taken a notion to contest him further, they might have done well to read his Medal of Honor citation first. Seems it Indicates Mr. Van Barfoot wasn't particularly good at backing down.
If you've read this post and don't share it, - Guess what -You need your butt kicked. I share this with you because I don't want MY butt kicked anymore and I'm tired of seeing those who hate our country yet march in our streets, tear down our statues, burn our stores and loot our businesses have a free hand to do whatever they want.
WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! AND, BECAUSE OF BRAVE OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT!

The confusion was instant.
Gen Z vs old school tech is pretty hilarious
🚨OUR PETS ARE DYING: "There are 1000s of pets dying out there every day from vaccines they didn't need."
- Dr. John Robb, DVM
Our furry friends are being poisoned for profit—it's time to wake up! Here's the shocking truth:
- **One Rabies Shot for Life**: A single rabies vaccination protects pets FOREVER, yet laws force annual boosters they don't need.
- **No Limits on Over-Vaccination**: There are ZERO rules capping how many times pets can be jabbed for the same disease, leading to deadly overdosing.
- **Size Doesn't Matter—But It Should**: Vaccines aren't adjusted for body weight; a tiny 5lb cat gets the SAME dose as a 100lb dog, risking lethal reactions.
- **Rising Chronic Illnesses**: Over-vaccinating & over-medicating is skyrocketing pet diseases like diabetes, cancer, kidney failure & heart issues.
- **Toxic Pet Food Alert**: Grain-based dry foods loaded with byproducts, seed oils & chemicals are wrecking dogs' & cats' health.
- **Titer Tests Ignored**: If pets show positive antibodies via titers (just like humans), they shouldn't need more shots—but vets push them anyway.
- **Big Food's Grip**: Mars (yes, the candy giant) owns 3,000+ vet clinics & 50+ pet food brands, prioritizing profits over pet lives with unnecessary meds, tests & services.
- **Whistleblowers Silenced**: Dr. Robb faced backlash from Mars for refusing to follow harmful vaccination policies—research shows full doses are "dangerous" & "potentially lethal."
- **Vet Suicide Crisis**: Veterinarians pushing for change are ignored, taunted & laughed at in hearings, contributing to a suicide rate 4X higher than the general population.
Stop the madness! Protect your pets—demand titer testing & say NO to unnecessary vaccines. 👇

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just released HUNDREDS OF BOMBSHELL RUSSIAGATE DOCUMENTS proving that Barack Obama personally ordered CIA agents to manufacture false intelligence on President Trump and was actively “working with the enemy” to undermine and erode Americans’ confidence in our democracy and President Trump’s LANDSLIDE 2016 VICTORY. This was a coup attempt by Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies… As Jesse Watters said “Whatever happens to these guys is not revenge… it’s accountability. And it’s time for people to pay the price.” ARREST OBAMA NOW!
Most people have no clue how much danger Tulsi Gabbard is in right now.
She’s not playing politics. She’s putting her life on the line by taking on the Deep State directly. She’s naming names. She’s exposing the rot. And she’s not backing down.
She called out Barack Obama.
Not just as a failed president, but as the architect of a system that has lied to the American people, weaponized federal power, and targeted anyone who dared to get in the way.
Obama used the FBI, CIA, IRS, and DOJ as tools to protect himself and crush his enemies. He gave the green light to spy on Trump. He backed the Russia hoax. He sat at the top while this country was divided, corrupted, and manipulated.
And while the media protects him, Tulsi Gabbard stood up and said what no one else would.
That takes real courage. The kind that comes with a cost.
She knows what she’s up against. The threats aren’t theoretical. They’re real. Political power like this doesn’t go quietly. People who expose it don’t walk away unscathed.
So, we pray for her safety. Seriously. Not just thoughts and words, but real prayer. For protection. For strength. For clarity.
Because she is putting everything on the line for the truth. And that makes her a threat to the people who built this broken system. They’ll try to silence her. They’ll try to destroy her reputation. And if that doesn’t work, they’ll try worse.
This is what a real patriot looks like. Not someone reading safe lines off a teleprompter. Not someone raising money off empty slogans. Tulsi Gabbard is out there in the fire, alone, facing down a political machine that has ruined lives and toppled governments.
And she’s doing it with her head held high.
We need more voices like hers. But we also need to protect the few we’ve got.
God bless you, Tulsi.
God guide you.
And God protect you.
The truth matters. The country matters. And so do the brave people who still have the spine to speak up. [copied]
Like Ronald Reagan Tulsi Gabbard was once a Democrat. A lifelong Democrat. But the party left her. Literally. What she is doing now takes incredible guts and intelligence. There's a STRONG possibility she will be America's FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT
I don’t think people realize just how much danger Tulsi Gabbard is putting herself in by exposing the deep state at this level.
ESPECIALLY someone like Barack Obama.
This is what a TRUE patriot looks like.
God bless you, @TulsiGabbard 🙏🏻

BREAKING: 🚨 🇳🇱 Netherlands Court REJECTS Bill Gates’ Attempt to Escape Justice! 🚨
🧬 The court in Leeuwarden has officially rejected Bill Gates’ desperate excuse — that Dutch law has “no jurisdiction” over him.
But here’s the truth:
🧨 If you unleash experimental gene therapies on the world…
🧨 If you help orchestrate a global vaccination campaign…
🧨 If people are harmed under your influence, in your name, through your funding…
👉🏼 Then yes, international justice has jurisdiction — and the world is watching.
💉 Gates never showed up. He didn’t send lawyers.
Instead, he arrogantly dismissed the Dutch court like a medieval king waving off the peasants.
But the judges didn’t flinch.
⚖️ They ruled: the case against Gates will go ahead.
🧾 Nearly 200 pieces of evidence were submitted — documents, testimony, whistleblower statements — building the case for genocide and crimes against humanity.
If Gates is found complicit, the ripple effect could be seismic:
🔥 Every government that partnered with him will face scrutiny.
🔥 Every media outlet that silenced dissent will be exposed.
🔥 Every pharmaceutical CEO involved may follow him into the dock.
And if the International Criminal Court takes up the case?
🌍 There will be no hiding behind Silicon Valley billions or global foundations.
Gates could face arrest warrants.
He could face trial in The Hague.
He could become the face of the greatest betrayal in medical history.
This is bigger than one man.
It’s about justice for the injured.
It’s about truth for the silenced.
It’s about defending humanity from corporate tyranny.
⚖️ The world is waking up.
💥 And Bill Gates should be very, very afraid.
BREAKING!!

@TRUMP_ARMY_@elonmusk Love the army concept..but you need to lose Vance. I have very very bad vibes regarding this person. I think Trump could do MUCH better and responsible, and I love Trump but this Vance is a no-go in my book and most of my friends feel the same way..Something stinks
