I saw a question posed, “What is a healthy unemployment rate?” The answer was between 3 and 5%. Today (July 9. 2024) it stands at 4.1%, which is allegedly healthy, but tell that to the 6 million adults who can’t find a job. You might have also heard about all the jobs that go unfilled, […]
America is not just a country, it is an idea. And that idea belongs to everybody who wishes to serve it. ~Bono This post was written by my sister, Stacey Lazos. My husband had his oath ceremony last week. It was the culmination of 8 years of moving toward the idea of America and on […]

Our freedoms in this country are extremely valuable and that value increases when you realize freedom is no longer there.
