Today is May 28th. Today is Memorial Day. Our front page today has several excellent posts honoring the holiday. In today’s header, I included the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, the emblem of the Marine Corps, my branch of service. But I truly honor and am grateful for the service of every single member of the United States Armed Forces, the world’s greatest fighting force. The | Read More »
Each year, on the last Monday in May, America celebrates Memorial Day. For some it represents the first day of summer and the end (or near-end) of another school year; there are cookouts to be had, parades to attend, and – for those who can afford them – vacations to head out on. For others, however, this day is spent in somber remembrance, honoring the | Read More »

Last month, I was honored to visit our brave troops in Afghanistan, giving me a chance to get a firsthand look at the challenges they are facing, and to thank them on behalf of all Ohioans for their service to our country. I took a bunch of Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds baseball caps that were a big hit. Even though they are thousands of | Read More »

My challenge today is to name all the ancestors and relatives who have served and sometimes died in the cause of America’s freedom. It is a challenge I present to all of Redstate. It is a challenge to myself, and I have failed. I do not know everybody in my family that has served or died in America’s cause. My wife and I share Revolutionary | Read More »
In the past week, the Obama administration and fellow Democrats have let their true feelings for America known more than ever before. Well, at least more blatantly. They aren’t even bothering to hide it now and have lost all shame.

Bush was on the campaign trail in 1992 and scheduled to speak at an American Legions event in Maine on Memorial Day. Ronald Reagan was in the midst of a contentious economic summit in 1983 and so sent | Read More »
There’s no doubt it’s been a rough day (well, week) over at the White House. Let’s recap.
