Russian re-set…

Claudia Rosett  details the wanderings  of a Russian ship with a very shady past of helping sow discord and weapons in the world,  most recently docking in Iran.  Despite the heavy magical thinking being employed by the Obama Administration,  Russia is not our friend.

Patriotic potpourri…

Claudia Rosett has  a memo for Washington,  BigGovernment.com tells us what we  should be celebrating,  and Joseph Farah recommends we read the Constitution.   Rep.  Mike Pence reminds us  the war or independence is ongoing,  something to remember as Juan DeJesus  points out 1 in 4 of us don’t know who we fought for independence.   Arnold Friberg was a  painter who certainly did know,  as does  Rick Monday.

Pat Boone urges us to  re-declare our independence,  and John Whitehead reminds us of the  price of freedom.   Neal Boortz laments our  “dependence” day,  John Kass brings up  feral pigs,  while John Steele Gordon wants to revive the notion of  American exceptionalism.

Do look at this Muppet-inspired  video,  courtesy of Lucianne.com,  then amp it up with Gene Simmon’s  military tribute.
