Now that it's been announced that Lee Greenwood will be performing at the Freedom 250 show.... I have to make a confession:
I HATE THE SONG "GOD BLESS THE USA!"
Am I alone in this?
The Javan rhino is the second most endangered species on the planet.🦏
There are only 50 of them left on Earth.
Not 50,000. Not 500. Fifty.
The Javan rhino once roamed freely across Southeast Asia — India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia.
Today every single one of them lives in a single park, on a single island, in Indonesia.
That one park sits in the shadow of an active volcano, on a tsunami-prone coastline.
There is no backup plan.
No second location. If something catastrophic happens — they're all gone at once.
And then came the poachers.
Between 2019 and 2023, organized gangs slipped inside that protected park and killed 26 Javan rhinos. One third of the entire species. Gone.
They knew exactly where to find them.
Someone on the inside gave them maps.
A 2.2 pound piece of Javan rhino horn sells for $65,000 on the black market.
When the only sanctuary these animals have is betrayed from within — what does protection even mean anymore?

Heartbreaking news out of Orange County, Virginia. K9 Blek, a loyal partner with the Sheriff's Office, passed away while on duty this week. After eight solid years serving alongside Sgt. Justin Neal, he gave everything right up to the end from natural causes.
These dogs aren't just tools. They are true teammates who run toward danger without hesitation, protecting officers and the community day after day. Blek did that with honor and heart for nearly a decade.
The department put out a moving final call for him. It hits hard. Rest easy, Blek. You served well, and the watch continues without you. Thank you for your service, and deepest condolences to Sgt. Neal and the whole Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Our K9s deserve every bit of respect we can give them. They earn it every single shift.
California has spoken. Thank you for standing with us. To every volunteer who made a call, sent a text, knocked a door, or showed up when it mattered most — this victory belongs to you.
We're just getting started. On to November.
HUGE: Kennedy Center lawyers have instructed staff to begin removing Trump’s name from everything.
This is a direct result of Rep. Joyce Beatty’s successful lawsuit to block Trump’s attempt to rename the Kennedy Center.
Ha. How about this then:
Jared Kushner: $6 billion in Gulf money. Roughly $90 million a year in fees. A protected island in Albania. All while negotiating a war for the United States.
Me: I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If that set your hair on fire, where is all your outrage now?
Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world.
According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.”
They cited:
— a significant decline in cognitive functioning,
— episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances,
— severely impaired judgment and impulse control,
— loss of self-control,
— and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.”
The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office.
“It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads.
The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office.
One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.”
He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote:
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
According to the doctors, the warning signs include:
— grandiosity without restraint,
— paranoia,
— impulsivity,
— vindictiveness,
— uncontrolled rage,
— and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons.
Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.”
The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed.
The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views.

These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬
