Memorial Day in a Divided Nation
It is important to honor our wartime dead. But Memorial Day has a powerful meaning that we have forgotten. It was the holiday that reunited our country after the Civil War. It began when Americans, from the North and the South, entered the cold gray stone fields of the dead, and decorated the graves of the fallen from the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy with freshly cut flowers.
They followed no presidential order. They acted under no regulation. Instead the mothers and wives of men who would return home no more brought flowers to the graves of their fallen sons and husbands, and to the resting places of the young American men who might have slain them, who had been the enemy, but who still deserved honor and respect.
Those women, of the North and the South, brought America together.
Today a new breed of leftists gleefully tears down Confederate memorials. And it will not end with flags and statues. They will not be satisfied until the cemeteries that were once decorated have been desecrated. It is ominously fitting that the event which marked the end of one civil war now arrives to foreshadow the beginning of another war between brothers.

EDITORIAL
An Immodest Proposal Revisited: Pay Our Legislators A Big Ass Bonus Every Time They Balance The Budget
Years ago, in a different forum, this writer proposed paying our legislators an additional $1 million every year they balanced the budget. $535 million would have been chump change and that pocket money would have yielded wondrous results.
The idea was conceived and promoted (lacking a better term) at a time when the national debt was still vulnerable to eradication. Actually, it wasn’t that long ago.
Time flows and debt is unconquerable. We will have a not-so-great reset whether we like it or not. Who sets the terms of the reset remains to be seen.
It is hoped that sanity prevails and we will see America lay the foundation for a prosperous economy. A tall order but we did it repeatedly. We can do it again.
If we can wrestle our country away from Schwab’s Slobs, I hope we install a system where legislators are monetarily rewarded for fiscal responsibility. Currencies and numbers cannot be determined but the annual reward should be a big ass bonus.
Chump change.

EDITOR’S NOTES
1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.
2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.
3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News (usually Tucker Carlson).
4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.
5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.
6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.
7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.
8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.
