Oh, I saw the boys so many times before the crash. They came to the 'ham so many times
July 12, 1974 (Second Helping tour)
This is widely regarded as the first time the band performed “Sweet Home Alabama” in Alabama, just 18 days after the album’s release. It was a hot, humid night, and local fans recalled the crowd reacting to the “we love the Governor” line
July 4, 1975 (Nuthin’ Fancy tour)
With Montrose, Goose Creek Symphony, and Al Kooper. Tickets were only $1.99–$3.99. It was a chaotic daytime show with fireworks flying and people trying to rush the stage
July 16, 1976 (Gimme Back My Bullets tour)
With the Outlaws (some reports also list Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, and Journey). The show ran late due to rain; when the promoter tried to shut it down at the 11 p.m. neighborhood curfew by cutting power, the band kept playing.
That was only at Rickwood Field.....oldest existing professional baseball stadium in the country ~ Sweet Home was popular they had so so many other great songs....!!!

THE UNIFORM IS NOT A PROTEST SIGN
Why Air Force Major Jason Watson Is Now in Military Custody
DECODE CONFLICT
Major Jason Watson had every right as an American citizen to hold personal political opinions. What an active-duty commissioned officer does not possess is an unrestricted right to use the military uniform as a platform for partisan political activism.
JULY 1, 2026 | Watson appeared in uniform on the steps of the U.S. Capitol carrying a sign reading “Impeach Convict Remove,” targeting President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Capitol Police ordered him to stop demonstrating after the member of Congress accompanying him left the area. Watson refused and was arrested for crowding, obstructing and incommoding.
JULY 2, 2026 | The District of Columbia dropped the civilian charge. The Air Force nevertheless took custody of Watson and restricted him to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling while investigating possible military violations.
The reported UCMJ issues included contempt toward officials, failure to obey an order, conduct unbecoming an officer and conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline.
AUGUST 18, 2026 | The Air Force placed Watson in pretrial confinement after finding probable cause supporting allegations of continued misconduct.
According to his attorney, Watson had announced that he would no longer wear his uniform while performing military duties. After being ordered to put it back on, he allegedly refused and was detained approximately 20 minutes later.
As of the latest public reporting, the Air Force has not formally preferred charges. Watson remains presumed innocent and is entitled to review under military court procedures.
But the principle is already clear.
Active-duty service members can vote, communicate with elected officials and express personal opinions within established regulations. They cannot present partisan political activity as though it carries the authority of the armed forces.
Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits commissioned officers from using contemptuous words against the president, vice president and other senior officials. Article 92 governs the failure to obey lawful orders and regulations.
These restrictions are not designed to protect one political party. They protect civilian control and the nonpartisan character of the American military.
Watson knowingly turned his rank and uniform into instruments of political theater. He was not silenced for casting a ballot or holding a private opinion. He publicly challenged the elected commander in chief while visibly representing the United States Air Force.
That distinction matters.
America cannot permit officers to decide that personal political convictions override lawful military regulations. Once uniformed personnel begin acting as partisan campaigners, military cohesion and public trust start to fracture.
The uniform belongs to the nation.
It is not a personal billboard.
DECODE CONFLICT
The day after Israel declared independence in 1948, they were attacked by Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. This tiny country has been fighting for their lives since it's creation. That's 84 years ago. But somehow people are believing that Israel is controlling everything. A country created for a homeless people.
Should I truly believe that now that country is now controlling the world? I'm just asking questions.
Does applying cucumber and tomato paste daily completely eliminate dark circles under the eyes from the root!
This home remedy sounds great in theory, but it doesn’t really work that well in practice. The real causes of dark circles under the eyes aren’t on the surface of the skin they come from inside the body.
Genetics, severe lack of sleep, anemia, too much time in front of computer screens, and mental stress are the main reasons the skin under the eyes looks dark. Putting cucumber or tomato slices on your eyes might give temporary coolness and relief, but it won’t permanently fix dark circles.
If you want to get rid of dark circles for good, make sure you get enough sleep, drink more water, and after checking with a doctor use an eye cream that contains caffeine or retinol.
🕊️Freedom in Christ isn't permission to live for ourselves- it's an invitation to love and serve others.
Galatians 5:13 NIV
"You, my brothers and sisters were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve one another humbly in love. "
Jesus sets us free- but that freedom has a purpose. Paul reminds us that Christian freedom is not about doing whatever we want. It's about becoming free from sin and selfishness so we can live differently.
One of the clearest signs of that freedom is humble service. We don't serve others to earn God's love; we serve because we have already received His love.
Sometimes serving God looks surprisingly simple: encouraging someone who is struggling, forgiving when it's difficult, helping without expecting recognition, or choosing kindness when we could put ourselves first.
True freedom in Christ produces love in action.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the freedom I have in Christ. Help me not to live selfishly, but to humbly serve others with the love You have shown me. Let my words and actions point people toward Jesus.
In His Precious Name,
Amen🙏🏻
Who can you serve with the love of Christ
today?❤️
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley once called for the House Oversight Committee to HAUL Tim Walz in and FORCE him to be held accountable:
"We have to be able to hold people like Waltz to account. If you burn a billion dollars through sheer negligence, just blind recklessness, then there's got to be some accounting!"
It's time to haul these criminals in!
In a 2018 House Judiciary Committee hearing, democRAT Rep. Jamie Raskin confronted Google CEO Sundar Pichai about YouTube's algorithm needing to do more to censor videos alleging that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin mutilated a child, drank her blood, and engaged in satanic ritual known as the "Frazzledrip" theory, an extension of the 2012-2016 Pizzagate research igniting across online forums.
They desperately urged Big Tech to suppress truth that threatens the exposure of his democrat colleague overlords and the pedophile networks in their elite circles, enlisting Silicon Valley to protect their own.
Don't let these monsters continue to hide from their Crimes Against Children.
President Trump threatened to shut down our government if we couldn't get border security to protect American citizens in his first term.
Pelosi and Schumer fought him every step while saying it was wasteful spending to build a wall.
Now we know they fought him to keep our border weak so they could funnel millions of illegal voters into our country.
Seems to me that our President does a lot of work while @SenateGOP takes an inordinate amount of PTO - I for one would like that changed - Save America Act SHOULD have been passed - POTUS seems to be doing the Senate’s job - Majority of whom should lose their seats. @SenFettermanPA why are you voting No on this Act…..I’m a PA resident & want some integrity in our voting systems
Trump just put every public school on notice:
Telling a child they’re “trapped in the wrong body” is child abuse.
Now let’s finish the job.
They rebranded DEI into Belonging, Equity, Access, and so on, that’s still pushing race and gender ideology in classrooms. Our children deserve truth, biology, and merit instead of indoctrination.
PROJECT FLYTRAP: NATO IS BUILDING A DRONE-KILLING NETWORK
Decode Conflict Technology Assessment
The U.S. Army and its allies are testing how ordinary ground formations can survive inside a battlefield saturated with inexpensive drones.
During Project Flytrap 5.0, conducted in Lithuania from April 30 to May 19, 2026, American and British forces evaluated more than 50 counter-drone technologies under realistic field conditions.
The systems included battlefield radars, radio-frequency jammers, kinetic interceptors, unmanned ground vehicles, attack drones and artificial-intelligence-enabled command networks.
The breakthrough is not one spectacular weapon. It is the network connecting them.
A radar may detect an approaching drone. Electronic-warfare equipment identifies its control signal. The command network determines which unit has the best firing position. A jammer, interceptor or soldier then defeats the threat.
Project Flytrap also placed commercial and experimental equipment directly into soldiers’ hands. Their battlefield feedback can determine which technologies are purchased, how they are distributed and what tactics are adopted across larger formations.
This matters because traditional air-defense missiles are too expensive and scarce to use against every low-cost drone. Forces need layered defenses that can select the least expensive effective response electronic disruption, when possible, gunfire when necessary and specialized interceptors for the most dangerous threats.
Decode Conflict Assessment
Project Flytrap signals a major doctrinal change. Counter-drone defense can no longer remain the responsibility of a few specialized units guarding major bases.
Every maneuver formation must be able to detect, track and defeat drones while continuing to move and fight.
The next battlefield will not have a separate drone war. Drones will be present everywhere and every unit must become part of the defense.

STORMBREAKER: THE BOMB THAT HUNTS THROUGH BAD WEATHER
Decode Conflict Technology Assessment
The U.S. Navy has declared initial operational capability for the GBU-53/B StormBreaker on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
StormBreaker is not simply another precision bomb. It combines three guidance systems: millimeter-wave radar, infrared imaging and semi-active laser guidance. That allows it to identify and strike moving or stationary targets through darkness, fog, smoke, rain and battlefield dust.
The weapon is also network-enabled. Operators can update its target information after launch, allowing the mission to change while the bomb is already in flight.
That matters because modern targets rarely remain stationary. Mobile missile launchers, air-defense vehicles and armored formations can reposition immediately after being detected. A weapon relying on fixed coordinates may arrive after the target has moved. StormBreaker is designed to continue searching and adjust.
Its relatively compact size also allows an aircraft to carry more weapons per mission than it could with larger precision munitions. The result is greater target capacity without requiring additional aircraft inside a contested battlespace.
StormBreaker previously entered service on the Air Force’s F-15E Strike Eagle and is being integrated with additional combat aircraft. Its arrival on the Super Hornet expands the Navy’s ability to conduct precision strikes from carrier-based aviation.
Decode Conflict Assessment
The decisive feature is not the explosive charge. It is the seeker.
StormBreaker gives American pilots a weapon capable of operating when weather, smoke and movement would defeat less advanced guidance systems.
The target can run. The weather can collapse. StormBreaker keeps hunting.
Tim Walz Says If Trump Pardons Derek Chauvin, He’ll Serve His Full 22.5 Years in a Minnesota State Prison.
“If Donald Trump exercises his constitutional right to do so, whether I agree — and I strongly disagree with him — if he issues that pardon, we will simply transfer Derek Chauvin to serve out his 22 and a half years in state prison in Minnesota.”
🚨 Exactly right. The “Trump failed because he hasn’t deported every single one yet” line is pure political malpractice.
Under the Biden-Harris administration we saw more than 10.8 million nationwide encounters with illegal aliens (over 8.7 million at the Southwest border alone), plus an estimated 1.5–2 million known gotaways.
Millions were released into the interior. That was the scale of the invasion they allowed and encouraged.
Now the border is under control again, encounters have collapsed to historic lows, and deportations are moving in the right direction—delivering real results for American workers, communities, and public safety.
Celebrate the progress, document the benefits, and keep the pressure on for more. That’s how you build support, win elections, and actually finish the job instead of handing the issue back to the open-borders crowd.
We have elections to win. Smart messaging is how we keep the power to secure the country. 🇺🇸
