That awesome sight does indeed thrill the heart with glorious love and pride in our country. But even more awesome and glorious is the knowledge that the real power behind it all is the the answered prayers and providential blessings of our Almighty God, who empowers those who trust in Him, look to Him for guidance and strive to do right in His sight. God bless, protect and guide those in every level of the power in that show of American might, and those of US who proudly and prayerfully support them. To God always be the glory for every victory and success.

Like they are not 'bomber jets', they are FIGHTERS.... and BOMBERS. End stop. Essentially all aircraft for 60 years have been jet powered, so cut it out, media fools.

Friday, a group of us were playing Golf in Harrisburg at Dauphin Highlands Golf Course and the Navy's Blue Angels were practicing for about 4 hours flying up and down the susquehanna and directly over the golf coursr it. seemed like some were no more tham 200 feet over head. They were glorious in their formations. I texted my grandson at Annapolis (third year) and he told me they also flew a flyover at the Graduation Ceremony that day. The Blue Angels are wonderful to behold, so , if you ever have the chance... GO SEE EM!

The only bomber missing was B-31 Raider... Because there is no such plane. An apparent typo, and the B-21 Raider - while up and flying - is still a long way from operational use. Not yet ready for an event such as this.

Oh my! Wish I could have seen it. When I was only 3 years old, my dad and big brother took me with them to an air show at the tiny little Cornelia Fort airstrip in Nashville Bottoms. My big brother joined the Navy, and flew jets from the deck of a carrier until retirement. Love me some USN.

So what's a B-1? Is it a bomber jet or a jet bomber? Back when prima donna bone boys were pulling it on alert we called it a paper weight.

Two people are seriously injured, including a child, with four people “very ill in hospital” after a car was driven into crowds at a Liverpool football victory parade, the city mayor says. Police revealed the ethnicity of the suspect in a car-ramming of a crowd with “unprecedented” speed in a move that has been perceived as a correction after sitting on that information was blamed for feeding widespread unrest leading to riots after a mass-stabbing of children last summer.

Harvard’s Kennedy School Could Lose

Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government could lose nearly 60% of its student body if the Trump administration’s attempted ban on international enrollment, temporarily blocked by a judge, takes effect. As at many Harvard schools, campus life at the Kennedy School has been hijacked by anti-Israel activists. Last week, a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump from denying Harvard the ability to enroll students on foreign visas. But the administration made clear it intends to stop Harvard from being able to enroll foreigners if it continues to defy the president’s demands that it fight antisemitism and reform its “woke” curriculum and administrative practices. The Harvard Crimson reported on the potential impact:

Donald Trump dodged a bullet in July ’24 when he turned his head ever so slightly and survived a sniper’s assassination attempt. America dodged a bullet when Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign in July of that same year. (We also dodged one when Kamala Harris lost the election in November, but that’s another story.) Although RedState reported literally for years that Joe was a shell of his former self—and his former self wasn’t all that great to begin with—the Biden administration along with their corrupt cohorts in the mainstream media lied,

Democrats continue to implode, and now there's one Democrat who is calling them out. On Sunday, on CNN's "State of the Union," Jake Tapper spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Co), who is retiring to run for governor. Tapper said that given Bennet was doing it in part because of his frustration with Congress and "frankly, with Democratic leadership," and "given the Democratic Party's record low popularity now," does the Democratic brand help him or hurt him? Wow, Tapper went there. Bennet's response was not good for the Democrats. “I don’t think nationally the Democratic brand helps very much anyway...anywhere,” Bennet replied. Oof, so true.

According to the New York Times, top Democrat donors have been huddling it up at luxury hotels since the 2024 election in an effort to turn the tide on young men. “Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters, commissioning new projects that can read like anthropological studies of people from faraway places,” national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher wrote.

A Titanic Blunder for a Tinpot Regime There’s a poetic kind of justice when a dictatorship’s propaganda parade ends as soggy scrap metal. North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom so fond of choreographed triumphs and goose-stepping grandeur, recently tried launching a 5,000-ton “stealth” destroyer, only to have it tip sideways into the sea like a child’s bathtub toy. This wasn’t just a mishap. It was a symbolic faceplant: the world’s most belligerent pariah state, fresh off a backroom weapons-for-bodies deal with Vladimir Putin, found its supposed symbol of strength literally sideways and broken. Karma, it seems, sometimes comes in the shape of a capsized hull.

A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that the White House staff felt justified doing 'undemocratic things' because they believed President Donald Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy.The revelation came during an appearance by Axios reporter Alex Thompson on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, where he discussed insider accounts from his reporting on the Biden administration.

After his disastrous decision to run for reelection helped secure Donald Trump’s victory, former President Joe Biden is fighting for his reputation — and struggling to rake in cash. The subject of recent books detailing his decline, Biden is apparently having trouble bringing in speaking fees and difficulty fundraising for his presidential library, The Wall Street Journal reports. Perhaps this should come as no surprise. After Biden’s catastrophic 2024 debate performance against Trump revealed the extent of his declining health and marked the end of his campaign, why would anyone pay the former president to speak? And who would want to fund a Biden presidential library, as a monument

The first pictures have emerged of a North Korean warship seemingly covered in tarpaulin after it capsized and sank in front of dictator Kim Jong Un. Satellite images appear to show the naval destroyer languishing on its side alongside the dock where a launch ceremony had been held. But the launch failed, and analysis of pictures taken on Thursday suggest the ship is now partially submerged and covered with bright blue tarpaulins in an apparent attempt to conceal the wreckage. State media said the the 5,000-ton ship, which had been due to enter service next year, is designed to carry weapons systems including nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles.

We "climate destroyers" can't seem to do anything without the climate scolds trying to suck the fun out of every bit of life — either by attempting to guilt-shame us, or by shoving their "climate-friendly" alternatives down our throats. Memorial Day weekend presented a perfect opportunity for the ever-pretentious climate catastrophizers of taxpayer-supported PBS to press Americans to kick their "fossil fuel grills" to the curb in favor of "climate-friendly" electric grills. Again, in my climate-destroying [ahem] world, that just ain't gonna happen.
