I Love a Happy Ending

The Declaration

 First we had a roundtable discussion of the Declaration including The Abolitionist Roundtable..
This discussion was supposed to happen on their radio show earlier, but their were many technical difficulties due to weather related power outages.

I asked them to join me on my show where we would try again. Much better.

Then I spoke with Hillsdale Professor and Van Andel Chair Matthew Spalding about the influences that brought the colonists to the Continental Congress to declare independence.
The Making of the American Mind.

This is a great book, and a great interview about it.

Flag Day 2026

 Today is Flag Day. The American Flag is my Pride Flag.

It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.

The holiday was first proposed shortly after the 1861 attack on Fort Sumter that started the Civil War.

On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress.

Let your free flag fly.
