"It is a principle incorporated into the settled policy of America, that as peace is better than war, war is better than tribute." —James Madison (1816)

On this day in Patriot history in 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the first American naval force, and thus today is considered the birthday of the U.S. Navy. Today, our Navy still stands ready — including in the Mediterranean — for action to defend American Liberty. —Mark Alexander

From what I remember Frank, Saudi Arabia was responsible which put us in a tight spot, since we were buying oil from them, at the time. Bush blamed Iraq, thus the 2003 attack on Iraq using the reasoning that they had WMD's. No WMD's were found but we took out a dictator who h**ed America. That's the way I remember it and I could be all wet.🥶

The current administration has gone out of there way to degrade our entire country and our allies Jer.

It sure wouldn't have Andy. He's not my leader. He's not anyone's leader. He's an old man that's got a few screws loose and is a follower.

Yeah Brother, you can't watch too much of it. I hit the highlights and that's all.

I hope that's what the Israelis do the Hamas(ISIS). They are worse than rabid animals and they need to go.

"Facts are stubborn things; and wh**ever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." —John Adams (1770)

Fellow Patriots, on this day in 2000, al-Qaida jihadists used a small boat to ram the USS Cole, k*****g 17 sailors. In today's news, 25 Americans are dead after Hamas jihadists attacked Israel. Some things don't seem to change. —Mark Alexander

I'm learning that things in the Middle East don't change with time. Those folks seem completely satisfied with the statis quo. As far as the hostility goes, they continue raping the women, then k*****g them, but now they think they're going to Heaven for cutting off babies heads. What's next, eating the entire baby after it's been cooked or worse yet, alive? Each attrosity seems to have more evil animals coming up with new ways to top their previous animalistic ways. Just me venting.

There is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” —George Washington (1793)

On this day in Patriot history in 1986, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev began a nuclear arms summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. Reagan abruptly ended it two days later when Gorbachev demanded we dismantle the Strategic Defense Initiative. It wasn’t long before the Soviets came around, and then lost the Cold War altogether. —Mark Alexander
