May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather.

Today's the day, Citizen. If you never do your duty any other day, ever, in your entire privileged life, do it today. Not for yourself, but for all those who can't stand up for themselves, all those who gave their lives to defend democracy, and for the generations yet to be born. You want a better nation? You have to be a better citizen.

Today is the day. Now, get after it.

Merry Christmas and here's some holiday colors ho ho ho.

See you tomorrow.

Today's solar eclipse from the Florida Panhandle. Currently in progress.

When Ted Cruz writes his memoir, I certainly hope it includes a chapter on his heroic wartime experience with lines like: "I quickly tweeted back..."

Talk about uncommon valor, this guy is a regular Audie Murphy.

TFW you suddenly realize why all of Trump's previous lawyers are disbarred and/or in prison

Sick of politics and all the ugliness on social media?
